Chapter 201: The Greatest Demon Cultivator of All Time, the Mystery of the Ancient Immortal God

"Godkiller? No. This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"

Lord Destiny was extremely shocked by this, even his flowing white beard was trembling.

"Hasn't she been suppressed and destroyed by the gods? How could she still be alive? There's definitely something wrong. There must be something wrong."

"Old man, what the hell is this God Slayer?"

Seeing that the Lord of Destiny was suddenly spinning around in confusion, Lu Wenwu asked directly.

Ask if you don't understand. This has always been Lu Wenwu's usual way of doing things.

Not to mention friends, if he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will ask questions even to his enemies.

"Hey, old man? Old man?"

Lu Wenwu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the Lord of Destiny. Only then did he finally come back to his senses from his trance, and his eyes regained a glimmer of spirit.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

The Lord of Destiny slapped Lu Wenwu's waving hand away, and immediately began to perform a ritual, reporting the information he had obtained to the Emperor of Heaven.

Only after he had done all this did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"You really don't know about the God Slayer? You're from the early human era!" Lord Fate's eyes were filled with suspicion. "You can even sense the apocalypse, how could you not know such a famous person? Although theoretically, cultivators in the lower realms shouldn't know about him, even I only learned about him after ascending."

"I'm very honest and always tell the truth. It's just that you don't believe some of the truths I tell you. What can I do?" Lu Wenwu spread his hands. "And I reiterate again, I'm not a pioneer."

"Never mind. Whatever you say."

The Lord of Destiny did not say much about this and directly explained it to the God Slayer.

"The God Slayer was a peerless demon who became notorious approximately eight thousand years ago. His cultivation was comparable to that of immortals and gods, and he was terrifying."

"In that era, the number of immortals and gods who ascended to the upper realms was not as large as it is now, but there were already a considerable number. The embryonic forms of the current two major upper realms in the East and the West had already emerged."

"However, the prototype is just a prototype. The various heavenly rules are not yet complete, and even the divine world and the immortal world themselves are still in the development stage. Therefore, immortals often take advantage of various loopholes to secretly descend to the mortal world and appear in the cultivator world."

"Why the world of cultivators?" Lu Wenwu asked, "If they want to spread their faith, wouldn't it be more appropriate to find mortals?"

"For immortals and gods, they can still resonate with the Great Dao with their near-godlike cultivation in the cultivator world, and they won't be much weaker than in the upper realms." True Lord Fate explained, "In fact, the cultivator world and the upper realm are essentially the same, just lacking some corresponding 'things'."

"Something' is missing?" Lu Wenwu frowned slightly.

"yes."

True Lord Fate did not directly answer this question, but instead deflected the question and asked, "Do you know what the Cultivator World was like before it became the Cultivator World?"

"I don't know." Lu Wenwu shook his head.

True Lord Fate said solemnly, "Before they became the world of cultivators, they were small worlds opened up by the ancient immortal gods. They were also the base camps of the ancient immortal gods. Or, in other words, the kingdom of gods! The kingdom of immortals! Most mortals lived there."

"Until the first Ragnarok occurred, all the ancient immortals and gods disappeared. The most core part of the ancient immortals and gods left in the world of cultivators changed under the power of the Heavenly Dao and were combined together."

"What was combined is the current upper realm." Lu Wenwu immediately drew inferences from one instance.

True Lord Fate nodded slightly. "Yes, this is the truth about the upper realm and the cultivator world. In the earliest mythological era, there was no such thing as a cultivator world. And the human world today was called the battlefield of immortals and gods at that time, where immortals and gods fought with their believers."

"You should know that the Age of Mythology is called that because the immortals and gods were the absolute rulers of that era. Everything humanity had at that time originated from the gifts of the immortals and gods, including written culture, technological creations, cultivation systems, bottleneck advancement, and even the improvement of cultivation."

"It wasn't until the ancient immortals and gods disappeared and the environment of heaven and earth changed drastically that we humans finally made progress under the guidance of some 'deviant' ancestors, until we reached our current point."

“And these rebellious ancestors were also the pioneers.”

Lu Wenwu seemed to be thinking about something.

Three months have passed since he came to this world, and only today did he finally piece together this ancient history and restore the original truth.

The part recorded in mortal history books does not have such detailed "mythological" parts. What is recorded is only how those powerful pioneer ancestors re-explored and created the machines given by the gods.

However, the mortal library does not record how difficult it was for those pioneers to reopen the path of cultivation.

There is no record of this in mortal libraries. It was not until the first ascender appeared between heaven and earth that human technology began to slowly climb and showed a trend of upward breakthrough.

It was not until the number of ascenders exceeded the original number of ancient immortals and gods that mortals ushered in a technological explosion, completing a journey that would have taken hundreds or thousands of years in just a very short time.

These are things that can only be recorded by immortals and gods who have lived long lives and witnessed the changes in the world.

Listening to the story told by the Lord of Destiny, Lu Wenwu suddenly realized a problem.

This world has not changed because of human transformation.

Rather, the changes occurred spontaneously due to changes in the number of immortals and gods.

It was as if there was some force pushing them from behind.

Just like now.

The number of immortals and gods has not reached a certain level.

Therefore, human society, which has experienced a technological explosion, has completely stagnated in development during the past three hundred years, and its technological level seems to have been locked.

This sounds a bit like locking the level cap? Locking progress?

The level cap will not be opened until the number of top players in the game server reaches a certain level, and the inherent restrictions will be lifted.

The Emperor of Heaven and the King of Gods are stuck and unable to advance. Is it because there are not enough immortals and gods now?

Or is it that there are not enough immortals and gods of their level?

This strange and absurd thought suddenly appeared in Lu Wenwu's mind and could not be shaken off.

He calmly thought about the probability of this situation occurring, while continuing to listen to the Lord of Destiny explaining the history of world development.

After some random things, the Lord of Destiny finally brought the topic back to where it had gone.

"So, you must know that the God Slayer is an extremely dangerous demon. He can even be called the greatest ancient demon cultivator in history."

"According to research from the higher realms, the God Slayers most likely existed in the early days of humanity and began secretly hunting top-tier experts to maintain their own cultivation and survival."

"Until she finally became so powerful that she could no longer hide herself, and she took advantage of the immortals and gods descending to the mortal world to kill several of them. This caused mutual suspicion between the immortals and gods of the East and the West, and directly led to the second Ragnarok after the disappearance of the ancient immortals and gods!"

"It was during that war that the Divine King and the Celestial Emperor were finally elected as the leaders of the two races. These two realized the truth of the matter and, against all odds, persuaded the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm to make peace, ending this inexplicable war in the upper realms."

"After the war, the Immortal Realm and the God Realm joined forces and marched out together to fight the enemy. After countless immortals and gods died in battle and countless more were seriously injured, they finally surrounded and killed the God Slayer, whose fighting power was beyond belief and seriously injured him."

"Later on the battlefield, led by the God King and the Heavenly Emperor, the twenty most powerful immortals and gods at the time joined forces to attack, ultimately shattering his soul and putting an end to this tragedy."

Having said this, Lord Destiny's face was filled with deep fear.

"The God Slayer is an existence that even the God King and the Immortal Emperor can only barely hold back together. If we didn't know that so many immortals and gods have come forward to fight, there is no way we can kill her."

Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment and asked, "So, based on the clues we've got so far, has this God Slayer been resurrected? Or was she actually not dead back then?"

"It's hard to say. This is beyond my comprehension."

The Lord of Destiny kept shaking his head, with worry and anxiety visible on his face.

"According to common sense, even if she used the most cruel and evil methods mastered by the ancient demon cultivators, and also relied on the body-building methods of the path-breakers, and continued to sleep, she would not have been able to survive until now."

"The theory of diminishing returns proposed by mortals, coupled with the hidden injuries sustained during training and fighting, and the decline in physical function that has led to a decline in spiritual power control and concentration. In his twilight years, his condition is deteriorating almost every second."

"That's a full 20,000 years! Do you know what 20,000 years means? Even the immortals and gods in the upper realms are not 20,000 years old."

"After the mythological era ended, even if she could live to the theoretical limit of 10,000 years for a near-god, she would already be the longest-lived cultivator, the oldest person in history."

"Except for the direct descendants of the various immortal gods in the mythological era, according to the information currently available in the upper realm, no cultivator can break the theoretical lifespan limit of a near-god, not even close."

"As far as I know, aside from the God Slayer, the longest-lived near-god-level warrior only lived for over eight thousand years. And that's assuming he spent his youth avoiding fighting and cultivating himself, and instead regularly slept."

"What if she's no longer near-god level?" Lu Wenwu couldn't help but ask, "You said yourself that she once hunted several immortal gods and possessed top-tier combat power among them. With a cultivation level like that, she should have already broken through, right?"

"Impossible."

The Lord of Destiny flatly denied it.

"Without attracting the favor of the Great Dao, one cannot summon the thunder tribulation and overcome it. Without overcoming the tribulation, one cannot ascend to the upper realms. Without ascending to the upper realms, one cannot fully ascend to the immortal godhood. This is the iron law of cultivation that I have explored over the years."

"Even if that God Slayer truly possesses a method to advance in the lower realms without ascending, even if he only requires the corpses of immortals and gods, what about the Great Dao? These are all obvious and cannot be concealed at all."

Lu Wenwu: “.”

What about me?

There should be nothing wrong with my buddy's pure immortal-level combat power, right?

Bro, isn't this also a road of resonance?

Although I don’t know what specific combat abilities will be gained after reaching the Avenue of Resonance, or how much the increase will be.

But a BOSS that can be classified as S-level, no matter how powerful it is, should not be that powerful and will not break the upper limit of the inherent cognition.

If Lu Wenwu were to replace it with an S-level BOSS, he might not be sure.

But if the basic level of immortals and gods is S-, then he can say with great confidence that he has the combat power of immortals and gods!

But there is no need to say these words to the Lord of Destiny.

Even if I tell him, I'm afraid he won't believe it, and we'll have another argument then.

trouble.

"Okay, now that we've confirmed that the God Slayer didn't achieve immortal status, what then?" Lu Wenwu changed the subject. "So what can we do now? Continue tracking down the ancient demon cultivators in the human world?"

"There's no better solution. I've already told the Emperor of Heaven about the matter in the upper realm. He will handle it."

Lord Destiny sighed and rubbed his temples with his hands, but the sadness on his face did not fade at all.

"I hope the two guides of fate in the Western God Realm are only because they have become the target of the God Slayer. If the God Slayer is cooperating with the Western God Realm, then I am afraid that the catastrophe of world destruction will be unstoppable."

Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows. "Old man, please don't be so pessimistic, okay? Just because there's one more God Slayer, we can't defeat him? Are we really that weak?"

"If it were just the Western God Realm, we wouldn't be afraid. But alas!" True Lord Fate revealed a wry smile. "Besides that, the power of destiny has pointed me towards a target I've never felt before. I suspect it's the Ancient Immortal God."

"Ancient immortals?" Lu Wenwu was stunned. "Didn't they all die out? By the way, does the immortal world have any records of how they died?"

Lord Fate shook his head. "No, in fact, the upper realm never considered the ancient immortals dead. They simply disappeared from this world. According to ancient texts, the ancient immortals are not truly dead. Even if they fall in the war of gods, they will return again after a period of time."

"So, as early as the dawn of the human era, some of the ancient immortal gods' high priests left over from the mythological period warned their descendants before their death that they must maintain their faith in the ancient immortal gods. Ragnarok wasn't the end of the gods; one day the ancient immortal gods would revive and reign over the world once again."

"I understand."

Lu Wenwu snapped his fingers.

"So you're worried that the Ancient Immortal Gods have resurrected the God Slayers and are training them to cause trouble for you before their resurgence? So that they can purge the upper realms upon their return and usher in the return of the mythical era's rule?"

"You truly understand me." Lord Fate smiled wryly again. "I hope you can quickly attain the righteous path and become an immortal god, possessing even greater power before the great catastrophe arrives. But at the same time, I don't want you to break through. Immortal godhood means you'll face the ancient immortal gods with us, and your chances of survival are slim."

Lu Wenwu shrugged indifferently: "I still think you are too pessimistic. Is the ancient immortal really that powerful?"

"You don't understand," True Lord Fate looked up at the sky. "Today's most powerful Heavenly Emperors and God Kings would have been the weakest of the bunch back in the mythological era. They couldn't even defeat the combat training equipment left over from the mythological era, let alone the truly powerful ancient immortals and gods."

Ancient Immortal God

Is it really that powerful?

Lu Wenwu's mind suddenly became active, and he immediately had the idea of ​​comparing purity with the other party.

So, he said decisively, "Old man, I have a suggestion. You should find the guidance given to you by the power of destiny, and let's go directly to that ancient immortal god. While he's still asleep, let's play with his little dick!"

Lord of Destiny: “????”

What the hell are you talking about!?
