Chapter 372: The Blessed Land is a Curse

"When the Gu worm attacks, it is extremely aggressive and will directly devour the internal organs of the infected person."

"This insect was specially developed for the people of the blessed land. Even if the people of the blessed land are powerful, they cannot resist the insect's devouring. Therefore, they have almost no power to resist after being infected."

"In just one night, 80% of the people in the blessed land died."

"After three days, only a few elders survived."

Lu Jiuyuan mocked, "What's interesting is that after the Gu Masters occupied the blessed land, they discovered that the stones that could cause human mutations had already been damaged."

"The few remaining stones are gradually weakening and will become completely waste in a few years."

"The Gu Master clan has been planning for so many years, killing so many people, and all they got is a ruin."

Lu Jiuyuan still remembers the words of the elders.

The elder said that to outsiders, the blessed land is a place favored by gods.

To them, the paradise is a curse.

The elders also said that they were very excited when they first learned that the place was a treasure land of gods.

They were originally just peasants digging in the fields for a living, and were the most ordinary villagers in the world.

After gaining power, they become arrogant and look down on others.

They thought they were the chosen ones, and that they should dominate the world because they were blessed by the gods.

But reality slapped them hard in the face.

After they learned that they could not leave the paradise, some of them could not get over the hurdle in their hearts and insisted on going outside, and eventually died outside.

As for the remaining part, their competitive spirit gradually faded away. They stayed in the valley peacefully and gradually became indifferent to the world.

Everyone wants to live forever.

But what if immortality is limited to a tiny little valley?

Everyone wants to be different.

But is this uniqueness limited to a small valley?

While they gained power, they also paid a price.

There were no more newborns among them.

Apart from the occasional outsiders, they were the only ones in the valley.

They lived the same life in the valley year after year.

They were already tired of it.

They should have died long ago.

The Dingyun Rebellion damaged most of the stones, destroying the foundation of this blessed land.

They were not angry or regretful, but more relieved.

It’s just a pity for Jiulian and Bu Yunfan.

The two of them had not been in the blessed land for long and were not greatly affected, so they gave birth to the first newborn baby in the blessed land in hundreds of years.

That child is the child of all the people in this blessed land.

They really want to know whether the child who grew up in the paradise can break the curse of the paradise.

Unfortunately, they can't see it.

Xie Yingmian sighed as he heard this: "All the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price."

Lu Jiuyuan felt that this statement made sense.

Yu Lingye grasped the key point: "Since the people in the blessed land cannot leave there, why is your kung fu not affected?"

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at Yu Lingye with admiration: "As expected of Ah Ye, you are always so sharp and to the point."

"The reason why those people in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land cannot leave the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is because their physical changes are transformed by the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. It can be understood that once they leave, their abilities will be taken back."

"But, my abilities were given to me by the elders."

"They worked together to improve my meridians and transferred their internal energy to me. My body wasn't transformed by the blessed land, but by the elders."

Yu Lingye frowned.

This is a loophole in the paradise.

If the people in Dongtianfudi could seize this loophole...

Lu Jiuyuan saw what Yu Lingye was thinking.

He laughed and said, “Are you thinking this is a huge loophole?”

"That's what I thought at first."

"The elder told me that if you want to improve a person's meridians, it's not possible for one person to do it alone. It requires the collaboration of several people. And those who work together must be completely open and honest with each other."

"Secondly, if it doesn't work, everyone will die."

"Again, the chance of success is only one percent."

"My success was a fluke, but it was also because the elders placed all their hopes on me. They were so united in their thoughts, and no one was hiding anything."

“So, this opportunity is something you can only encounter once in a while.”

Yu Lingye frowned.

He looked at Lu Jiuyuan for a long time before sighing softly, "A Yuan, you've worked hard over the years."

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes trembled.

Immediately, he lowered his head, hiding all emotions in his eyes.

Everyone said that he was lucky and was able to be reborn and become a master.

Everyone praised him and feared him.

Only Ah Ye...

I will care about whether he is working hard.

"It's quite hard." Lu Jiuyuan smiled. "If I had a choice, I would still prefer to be a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun."

"What a pity, there are no ifs in life."

He looked into Yu Lingye's eyes: "Aye."

"Do you want to be emperor?"

Yu Lingye: ...

The question was too direct, and Yu Lingye didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In this kind of situation, it is not appropriate for Xie Yingmian to strike up a conversation.

She picked up the loquats peeled by Yu Lingye and lowered her head to eat them.

Lu Jiuyuan said, "The Dayu Dynasty is rotten from the root."

"My Lu family has worked diligently, and my father has devoted himself to the country and the people. The emperor, out of his own selfish desires, murdered his own son to frame the Lu family. Such a selfish king is a disgrace to the world."

"If the emperor acts this way, the officials below him will be even more excessive."

"Over the years, I have traveled to many places. Corrupt officials are rampant, and the people are living in dire straits. Officials and businessmen collude for personal gain, which is the least of their worries. Countless people have murdered entire families for a little land or a shop."

"Those who were murdered are all microcosms of the Lu family."

"The Dayu Dynasty is beyond salvation."

"If you want to be emperor, I will support you. I believe you will be a wise ruler."

"If you don't want to be emperor..."

Yu Lingye: "I don't want to."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Jiuyuan's eyes.

After the disappointment, I felt it was natural.

Back then, the late emperor doted on Concubine Fang extremely.

Whenever Concubine Fang wanted the moon in the sky, the late emperor would find a way to pick it down for her.

If Yu Lingye wanted to be emperor, he would have become emperor long ago.

"That's right..." Lu Jiuyuan said, "You don't like such tedious things..."

"But my wife can." Yu Lingye said.

Lu Jiuyuan:?

Xie Yingmian:?

Xie Yingmian, who was eating loquats, felt two pairs of eyes focused on him, pointing at him uncertainly: "The wife you are talking about is me?"

Yu Lingye smiled and said, "This king only married you, who else could he marry if not you?"

Xie Yingmian: ...

If she hadn't missed it,

Yu Lingye meant that he didn't want to be emperor, but she could.

Can she be the emperor?

A very niche word.

"If you are willing, I am willing to help you become the queen." Yu Lingye said very seriously.
