Chapter 202 The Designed World, the Ancient God Resurrects
One month later.
Good news: The Western Gods have been cleared of suspicion of colluding with the godslayer, and the small gap between the Immortal World and the Gods World has been patched up again, which is cause for celebration.
Bad news: The person who colluded with the God Slayer was most likely an ancient immortal god, and the God Slayer sneaked into the God Realm in an unknown way, killed two Western gods, and successfully escaped.
When they received this news, Lu Wenwu and the True Lord of Destiny were heading towards the direction guided by the power of destiny.
Having eliminated several wrong locations, they were almost reaching the final, real place related to the ancient immortals and gods.
The destination is a remote and desolate place in the world of cultivators.
Because there is no spiritual energy, few people choose to go into seclusion here.
Perhaps the only gimmick worth mentioning is that it is "suspected to be the former residence of ancient immortals and gods."
To be honest, in Lu Wenwu's original imagination, the world of cultivators should be a general term, referring to all small worlds.
But it was not until he actually followed the Lord of Destiny into the place that he discovered that this was actually a fairly large place.
It's just that the various sects occupied the part with the most abundant and prosperous spiritual energy. Under the transformation of generations of near-god-level strongmen and the sect's great formations, they formed a "pseudo-world" that was attached to the big world but not completely integrated.
It cannot be compared with a truly complete small world like Lingtian Cave Heaven.
The so-called small worlds of those sects are at most secret places hidden and protected by spatial boundaries.
The place where Lu Wenwu and the True Lord of Destiny are currently located is the real world of cultivators that connects these small worlds, and it basically conforms to the image of the world of immortal cultivation in Lu Wenwu's mind.
Except for the occasional passing wizards on brooms, dragon riders riding flying dragons, short green-skinned goblins, and strong bearded dwarves, the painting style becomes a bit strange.
The rest are basically childhood dreams fulfilled.
Perhaps it is because the resources are so abundant that there is no need to fight for them. What is very commendable is that apart from some minor frictions caused by hatred from the mythological era, everything else here can be considered harmonious.
There is no social trend of underworld people cultivating immortals.
Lu Wenwu once asked the True Lord of Destiny about spiritual roots, but the answer he got surprised him.
According to the True Lord of Destiny, the number of people with spiritual roots has always remained at a certain level.
There may be some fluctuations due to the times, but over the years, even though peace has lasted for so many years, there has still been no significant growth.
Even the number of mortals has remained at a certain level and has not grown exponentially.
Not much, but not less either.
The resources in the world of cultivators are sufficient to meet the needs of all cultivators.
With the gods from the upper realm supervising the lower realm, there are no large sects that play monopoly, and everyone, big or small, has food to eat.
After digging deeper into the matter, the explanation Lu Wenwu got was so incredible.
What Eastern practitioners call spiritual roots, or what Western practitioners call gifts from heaven, are actually illusions.
There is no substantial, tangible, organ-like thing.
Some only have certain qualifications and qualifications.
Moreover, this talent is not hereditary; it is all random.
Even if both parents are peerless cultivators at the near-god level, the offspring born may not necessarily have the qualifications to practice cultivation.
Therefore, even today, searching for talents with the qualifications to practice cultivation in the human world has always been something that all major sects do.
Practitioners have been researching for more than 20,000 years, but have not yet figured out the principle of "qualification", let alone utilizing and improving it.
They only figured out how to test their own qualifications and the iron rule that "unqualified people cannot sense spiritual energy."
This is also the reason why this very small world of cultivators has not evolved into a gangster world of cultivation, compared to the huge world of cultivation that is billions of miles away in the novels about cultivation.
The land is vast, the population is sparse, the minerals are rich, and there is supervision that is as powerful as a fist.
The upper world, the world of cultivators, and the human world, all of this is like a perfect self-cycle.
Would you say it's perfect?
This social environment has been operating too stably and has been standing still for many years.
But you say he is not perfect?
This social environment is enough to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing, and fulfill Du Zimei's lifelong dream - to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy, so that everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone has a house to live in.
It is precisely because he has learned some of the truths of the current world that Lu Wenwu now has an increasingly strong feeling that "this world is set by some kind of program."
If it weren't for an invisible big hand that has been conducting macro-control.
This almost utopian social environment is really difficult to maintain for so many years.
It is even more difficult to understand the technological explosion that humans achieved in a very short period of time, and the subsequent stagnation for a longer period of time.
Lu Wenwu once asked indirectly whether the Lord of Destiny realized that there was something wrong with this world.
But the other party just smiled and continued to secretly inquire about his mental state in a way that Lu Wenwu was familiar with.
Lu Wenwu, who has a keen eye, knows it very clearly.
The Lord of Destiny did not ignore this problem simply because of his daily inattention.
But he had indeed thought about it and believed that there was nothing wrong with this world, but that his mental state was not right.
For this reason, in the following few days after Lu Wenwu hinted at it, the True Lord of Destiny became concerned about his progress in cultivation.
They were afraid that he might go astray because of some strange ideas, thus breeding inner demons and becoming obsessed on the path of cultivation.
Looking at the "Confidant" level on the favorability list and the completion prompt of a hidden task called "Friend of the Immortals and Gods", Lu Wenwu felt both warm and melancholy.
If this is really just a designed "observation box", you can just pack up and leave after completing the copy.
What should old man Fate do then?
Continue this almost eternal cycle, waiting for the invisible hand to make another "version update" at an unknown time to release the shackles that bind everyone's heads?
Or should I shout "My destiny is in my own hands", and then follow the example of Chen Nan and Chen Zhan, father and son, who have joined forces to plan a thousand-year-long plan to go against the will of heaven?
Or say.
Is maintaining the status quo the best option for those who are unaware that they are in the situation?
This is really...
"What are you thinking about? Why do you seem absent-minded these days?"
Above the clouds, the Lord of Destiny glanced at Lu Wenwu, who was lost in thought, with dissatisfaction.
"We're almost there. If you regret anything, tell us now. We still have time to change our minds. If the ancient immortal god really revives, we'll both die there today. You old thing, you're dead, but don't let your lovely Maomao get hurt."
As he spoke, the Lord of Destiny suddenly put on a kind smile and stroked Maomao's dog's head.
It's just like the old man who was against keeping dogs at first, but was instantly eaten up by the dog after bringing it home.
"Woof! Master will not die, woof!" Maomao, who was riding on the cloud with Lu Wenwu, said in a low voice.
Lu Wenwu, having regained his composure, revealed his bright white teeth once again. "I regret it? Tsk, old Tianji, I think you're just trying to find an excuse to be a cowardly lizard."
Let’s talk about whether to control it or not later.
How could I have been agonizing over such a trivial matter for several days?
Damn it!
Damn it, the worst that could happen is I’ll blow the world up in extreme anger!
I wonder if the mastermind behind the control of this world is of high purity?
Can you withstand a punch from me, Lu?
Soon, the two men and the dog arrived at the location guided by the power of destiny.
It looked like a small, verdant hill, about a few dozen meters high, and all it saw was lush greenery.
"This should be it. The feeling is very strong." Lord Fate murmured as he landed on the ground. "But this place doesn't look like the ancient residence of immortals or gods. Does he live here? On such a small hill?"
"Old man who can't keep up with the times, what nonsense are you talking about? You've become stupid from trying to comprehend the mysteries of heaven, right?"
Lu Wenwu stomped his feet on the ground with a bang.
Earth HP-1.
After being treated sarcastically by old man Fate for so long, this time it is finally his turn to be sarcastic.
"After at least twenty thousand years of vicissitudes, with the intensity of the cultivators' battles, it only takes the aftermath of a battle between a Heavenly Rank expert to grind down even the highest mountain without any protection."
"Get lost! Do I need you, an old man, to remind me?"
The Lord of Destiny blushed slightly and cursed, resonating directly with the Great Dao to conceal the secrets of heaven, and using his unique breath-concealing technique to restrain his own breath, he actually blended in perfectly with the surrounding natural environment.
"This is my unique secret technique. Do you need my help, a barbarian who only knows how to use brute force? This is a magic that was perfected in my time. You old immortal, don't know how to do it, do you? If you beg me, I will teach you for free!"
"Tsk, guys with low purity can only use some unorthodox techniques."
Lu Wenwu let out a "tsk" sound, and Maomao consciously transformed into a flame pattern and merged with it.
Afterwards, he suppressed his own functions and the circulation of qi and blood to an extremely low level, and his aura, which was like that of a prehistoric beast, was immediately restrained.
In an instant, Lu Wenwu turned into a piece of stone, and there was no trace of life around him.
The Lord of Destiny let out a light exclamation and scanned the area with his immortal soul. It was as if he had just passed by a piece of stone that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, and he didn't find anything unusual.
"How on earth did you do it, you old man?" he couldn't help but ask.
Lu Wenwu grinned: "The human body is amazing, isn't it?"
"Hmph! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me! Just wait here peacefully!"
Lord Destiny snorted and said nothing more.
His expression suddenly became cautious and serious, his eyes fixed on the hill.
He had told me on the way here that this time it might take a long time to get results.
Only by arriving at the right place at the right time can you draw the right conclusion.
Therefore, the Lord of Destiny is very patient, like a fisherman who has already laid a bait to catch a great white shark.
As for Lu Wenwu.
He was quite relaxed.
He was eager to have a fight with the ancient immortal god to test the other party's purity.
If it weren't for the Lord of Destiny's repeated warnings, he would have already rushed up and knocked the hill off with one punch to see what was going on with the ancient immortal.
But Lu Wenwu never expected it.
This wait lasted for five full days.
Just when he was getting impatient and couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go into Lingtian Cave to eat some egg-filled pancakes, something strange happened.
In just a few seconds, the originally gloomy sky suddenly cleared up and countless dark clouds suddenly dissipated.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world suddenly increased sharply. In less than ten seconds, it had risen by hundreds of times, which was even stronger than the best training grounds in the major sects in the world of cultivators.
The Lord of Destiny held the compass tightly in his hand, and even his entire face was exerting force, and the old wrinkles on his face trembled slightly.
With that small hill as the center, an elemental tsunami instantly formed.
Countless fire elements swarmed in between heaven and earth, almost forming a materialized vortex of flames.
Dragon-like tornadoes of fire swept across the world, and the temperature rose sharply.
But the strange thing was that these fire tornadoes formed by pure spiritual power did not burn the surrounding plants at all, and not even any of them withered or turned yellow.
Just as the Lord of Destiny was rapidly pondering the identity of this ancient immortal god, suddenly, the hill exploded out of thin air.
At the original position, a male figure who was constantly coughing was supported by giant flaming dragons and walked in the air, slowly rising from the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated, as if a second sun was rising.
The mysterious flames condensed into a magnificent divine halo behind him, illuminating his short, steel-like crimson hair like a blazing flame.
The dazzling dark blue flaming wings almost burned the space into emptiness and nothingness, which was extremely magnificent.
From him, Lu Wenwu felt an extremely similar aura, as if they were from the same origin.
But if you feel it carefully, it is not exactly the same.
On the side, the pupils of the Lord of Destiny had shrunk to the size of a needle tip.
"The sun rises, a fire dragon beside it. With crimson hair and eyes as bright as stars, this is it! This is the Sun God, who ranks among the top ten ancient immortals and gods, and could even compete for the top five!"
"Tyrannosaurus, something's not right. We must be ready to retreat at any moment. This is completely beyond our capabilities. The enemy is too powerful for us to withstand."
"If you are discovered, I will use the power of destiny to help you conceal the secret. Don't worry about me. I am sure I can deal with them for a while. You must pass the news of the ancient god's revival back to the upper realm."
Sun god?
No wonder.
Unless it is some very abstract cultivation civilization, there is no weak Sun God.
Lu Wenwu immediately understood what was going on and activated his Eye of Insight to analyze the situation.
What?
Is there a danger of being discovered when observing an S-rank expert with the Eye of Insight?
Sorry, that’s exactly what I wanted!
If the Eye of Insight was discovered by the other party, it would be exactly what Lu Wenwu wanted.
In this way, he could openly send the Lord of Destiny back to Lingtian Cave Heaven immediately, and then rush up to test the opponent's strength.
