"Master, isn't this skill incredibly overpowered?"

"Don't worry, this is the benefit of the power of faith. Keep it up, I believe in you!"

To be honest, these two skills have gone beyond the realm of being abnormal.

First and foremost is this faith and protection.

It can erect a protective shield within a 10-meter x 10-meter radius. Once the faith value is exhausted, the protection will fail.

What does 10m x 10m mean?

If Lu Yuan had possessed such a skill back in Taiping Town, he wouldn't have cared about zombies; he could have simply used the protective shield to leave the city.

Okay, you're overthinking it. Back then, he had no faith whatsoever, and even if he had skills, he couldn't use them.

A glass cover would be more suitable.

If this skill is considered the pinnacle of defensive skills, then "Like a Gentle Breeze" is even more monstrous.

It can remove all negative status effects. With this skill, I wouldn't have had to be afraid of those poisonous snakes back in the first secret realm.

Even if you get bitten by a snake, you can use a skill to remove the venom.

When you're badly wounded from fighting the Dragon King, just use one skill to instantly revive yourself at full health.

Okay, that's not the point. The point is, if he had known he had this skill, why would he have needed the Ice Condensation Fruit?

With a single skill cast, all negative status effects on the user are instantly removed.

The skill is indeed abnormal, or rather, heaven-defying.

But why are you so late?

"Sister Cui Ning, doesn't your brother-in-law look like an idiot?"

Cui Ning glared at Zhang Xiaorui, annoyed. "How can you talk like that?"

But when she saw Lu Yuan's mouth agape, looking completely dumbfounded, she had to admit—it really did look like him!

Cui Ning: [It does look somewhat similar.]

Zhang Xiaorui: [He's probably thinking about some beautiful woman again. My brother-in-law is just too much of a womanizer.]

Cui Ning: [I feel you're even more lecherous than him!]

Zhang Xiaorui: [I didn't do that, don't wrong me.]

Cui Ning: [You're being framed? Then tell me, everyone was asleep last night, what were you doing up in the middle of the night?]

Zhang Xiaorui: [I'm hungry, can't I get up and find something to eat?]

Cui Ning: [Sure, why not? He grabbed a sausage and ate it for over an hour, even taking a sip of milk at the end!]

I was right, wasn't I?

Zhang Xiaorui's face immediately turned red. She had secretly gotten up last night, thinking that Cui Ning wouldn't know, but Cui Ning had seen everything.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

"Now you have nothing to say, right?"

"You actually dare to say Yuan Ge is a lecher? I think you're a hundred times more lecherous than him!"

Cui Ning has been constantly mocked by Zhang Xiaorui lately because of the incident where Lu Yuan used connections to get her in the first place.

So now that I have the opportunity, I'm definitely going to take revenge.

"You must be seeing things, or you're dreaming. Anyway, I don't believe it, do whatever you want."

Zhang Xiaorui acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and simply refused to admit anything.

Cui Ning was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaorui seemed to realize something:

"Sister Cui Ning, something's not right!"

"Didn't you sleep last night and spent over an hour spying on me?"

"You peeping tom, I'm going to tell my brother-in-law!"

Now it was Cui Ning's turn to blush. She had indeed been peeping last night, and she actually wanted to eat it too.

She was just a little embarrassed, since she wasn't as outgoing as Zhang Xiaorui.

She had only been with Lu Yuan for a short time, and was often in a passive position.

It seems we need to turn the tables and take the initiative from now on, otherwise we'll suffer a great loss.

"Wow, you're blushing! Did I just hit the nail on the head?"

The two chatted and laughed, playfully teasing each other, while Lu Yuan remained in a daze.

"Shentu, what do you think I should do in the future?"

Looking at his attribute panel, Lu Yuan felt somewhat lost.

As his level increased and his strength grew, he found it increasingly difficult to understand this world.

"Master, evolution has no limits. Just like in the beginning of the Earth, there were no humans or animals, and then single-celled organisms slowly appeared."

"Later, marine life appeared, and after tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years of development and evolution, land animals appeared."

"So where does all this effort come from? It's a kind of evolution. Human evolution, or development, will stagnate once it reaches a certain point."

"So the cataclysm came, and the fittest were eliminated, just like the extinction of the dinosaurs in ancient times. In my opinion, your ultimate destination is to leave the earth."

"Earth is a low-level civilization planet. It will limit your development, or rather, it will limit your realm. Do you still remember that mysterious person?"

The mysterious man, Lu Yuan, naturally understood.

Most of his skills were taught to him by a mysterious person.

"Of course I remember. I learned my Azure Dragon Blade Technique from him, and the Azure Dragon Blade is also his. But what does that have to do with me?"

The voice of the divine image came again:

"Of course there is a connection. He is someone who has left Earth. As long as you keep working hard, your final achievements will not be worse than his."

"With my help, you will definitely surpass him! Cultivate to become stronger and constantly break through your limits!"

"I think this place is quite nice. At least it has one advantage: the spiritual energy is much more abundant than on Earth, and it hasn't been destroyed."

"And you can use this place as a springboard, a springboard to a higher level outside."

"You might say, so what if the mysterious person is powerful?"

"In the end, he was still destroyed. Even his three souls and seven spirits were scattered. But don't forget, even a remnant of his soul is stronger than you are now."

"People must always have hope; as long as you are alive, there is hope."

"If you hadn't survived for a year in the early days of the apocalypse, but had died outright, do you think you would have achieved what you have today?"

"No matter what the future holds, we must always strive. Striving doesn't guarantee success, but if we're complacent and lazy, we'll never succeed."

Lu Yuan nodded deeply. As a human being, he couldn't believe that he hadn't thought things through as thoroughly as a system.

"What you said seems to make a lot of sense, but I always feel like you're just making empty promises to me."

"But this is good too. Even a pie in the sky is still a pie, and at least you can see it. It's better than being confused and having nothing at all."

"Okay, whether it's just empty promises or not, it's a good thing for me."

"We've lingered here long enough, let's move on to our last stop."

The last stop Lu Yuan mentioned was the territory of the Kui Niu.

If he hadn't missed any, he would have destroyed all the teleportation channels here.

The only one left is the Kui Niu one; in other words, if the passage on the Kui Niu side is unusable.

Then he will be stuck here forever. Even if Bai Ling can travel through infinite spatial barriers, it will probably take him at least a hundred or two hundred years to return to Earth.
