Chapter 619: Purity Improvement, Gluttonous Stomach
Lord Lieyan did a lot of things before his death.
However, the suicide note he left behind did not contain much content. It only briefly described his life and the life experience he gained before his death, and as a person who had experienced it, he gave some advice to those who came after him.
Don't be too extravagant.
Just because you traveled through time and have a golden finger doesn’t mean you are definitely the protagonist.
Or rather.
Maybe you are the protagonist.
But your story isn't that long.
When your halo as the protagonist disappears, you will still grow old, die, become history, and eventually become the topic of conversation for others after who knows how many years.
Your grave will also become a "copy" for another "protagonist" to improve himself.
Just like most time travelers.
Lie Yan Zhan Zun was a little frightened when he just discovered that he had traveled through time, but he was also very excited.
He felt like he was the protagonist in those online articles, destined to accomplish great things on this continent and lead the human race to glory.
So he began to imitate the actions of the protagonists in those online articles.
He used his golden finger to quickly become stronger, used his knowledge that far exceeded the current era to try to lead his people, and tried to cultivate some abilities based on the knowledge he learned from novels.
Admittedly, he did achieve some results.
For example, language and characters, basic mathematics, unit concepts, and some primitive sense of honor.
Even the words such as ferocious beast, beast god, beast emperor, great beast king, beast king, etc. were left by the original Lieyan War Lord and have been recognized by both humans and ferocious beasts.
But in most cases, his efforts ultimately yielded no results.
Lie Yan Zhan Zun wanted to leave behind a complete writing system, but he found that he forgot the words when he picked up the pen.
Having typed so much on the keyboard in the information age and having been away from school for so long, he had already forgotten how to write many words and could only make them up based on his vague memory.
This is why there are so many seemingly correct names in the Lieyan tribe today.
Lieyan Zhanzun wanted to become a figure like the two emperors Yan and Huang, and let the tribesmen who only knew how to hunt turn to agricultural civilization, so as to strengthen the power of the tribe.
Although slash-and-burn farming sounds simple, he actually has no idea what staple foods like rice, noodles, and millet look like when they are still plants. He only knows how to farm by sowing seeds into the ground and then watering it.
After working hard for a long time, the final result is not as practical as going out hunting.
Lieyan Zhanzun wanted to teach his people how to smelt metals and usher in the Bronze Age and Iron Age.
However, a young city boy who was lazy and didn't know the difference between grains before traveling through time, even if he barely understood some basic smelting knowledge by watching popular science short videos, how could he find the original ore veins and distinguish what is the raw metal ore?
This is not something that can be learned simply by watching a few videos on a certain audio cloud. Geological exploration and metallurgy are very advanced subjects that require a lot of knowledge to be accumulated through practice.
It is true that there are some metal armors in the Lieyan tribe today.
However, this is something that the people of the Lieyan tribe have figured out bit by bit over the past thousands of years, relying on the few words left behind by Lieyan War Lord.
Before his fall, this place was still very pristine.
In his last words, Lie Yan Zhan Zun confessed that the only thing worth praising in his life was probably that he did have some talent in cultivation.
Even if he does have a golden finger, this fact cannot be erased.
Unfortunately, he was too confident and arrogant back then.
From rising in the tribe to strengthening the tribe, and then to sweeping across the surrounding ferocious beast tribes, everything went too smoothly.
It was so smooth that there were almost no setbacks.
It was so smooth that the first half of his life after traveling through time was as enviable as a foreign tomato novel.
At that time, Lie Yan Zhan Zun believed that as a time traveler with a golden finger, he was naturally the chosen one by destiny, the son of the plane, the protagonist of the era, and an existence that was bound to write a legend.
Therefore, he acted without restraint and without scruples.
Relying on his golden finger, he can embrace all things and swallow everything.
Whether it is natural treasures or the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, they are all the nourishment he uses to become stronger and advance.
Before his death, he was only half a step away from the legendary Beast God realm.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is invincible in the same realm.
Even if it was to cross a major realm and slash upward, he had done it countless times.
At the same time, facing the siege of countless beast emperors and beast kings, although the scale seemed huge, in fact, Lie Yan Zhan Zun did not take it seriously at all.
At that time, his mentality was very inflated.
He believed that even if the legendary "Beast God" came, he would be able to defeat it.
The only difference between him and the Beast God is some luck.
As long as he has a few more years to strengthen the human race and gather luck, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a god of war.
However, just when he was feeling proud and ready to defeat and devour all the ferocious beasts besieging him in one fell swoop, a beast god descended.
That kind of absolute power shattered all of Lie Yan Zhan Zun's fantasies with just three punches and two kicks.
He can kill the Beast King in the War King realm, which is comparable to the first stage of the God Ascension, and can easily kill the Beast King in the War Emperor realm, which is comparable to the second stage of the God Ascension. He is even invincible in the War Lord realm, which is comparable to the third stage of the God Ascension.
But he was defeated in a very short time after facing the Beast God, and could not even last twenty moves.
Realizing that he was facing a dead end where he could neither escape nor defeat his opponent, Lie Yan Zhan Zun, who had been doing well for decades, finally came to his senses.
He is not the protagonist of the era.
He is not a son of luck.
He was just a guy who died suddenly after a night of sleep and was lucky enough to survive. He was no different from any other person in the world.
If only I could have thought of this earlier?
Wouldn’t it be great if I could be more stable?
If I
At that moment, he thought a lot and regretted a lot.
Unfortunately, not everyone can master such a heaven-defying method as retracing the timeline, and all established facts can no longer be changed.
Before his death, the enlightened Lieyan Zhanzun decided to leave something for future generations.
So, he created such a sealed space with his own body and golden finger as the core, dragged hundreds of powerful beasts that were besieging him on the road together, and buried them together in it.
He left behind the statue of Chi Yan and his own spear as keys, and gave them to his younger brother, the First Generation Chi Yan, hoping that one day a true son of destiny would open his tomb.
Just like the protagonists in online novels, their strength increases greatly and they become their own successors.
As for why the Red Flame Statue appears among the rewards of the dungeon system, it is hard to say.
Lu Wenwu speculated that it might be because the Lieyan War Lord forcibly tore the space apart, causing the laws to become too chaotic. The Red Flame Statue fell into the turbulence of space during the transmission process and drifted all the way to the world protected by the God Alliance.
In the end, I don’t know who picked it up and handed it over to the system in exchange for a reward.
Later, the system determined that this thing was similar to Lu Wenwu's personality, so it was given as a reward.
This is probably the origin of the Red Flame Statue.
Everything is a matter of chance.
The only thing that made Lie Yan Zhan Zun feel a little regretful was that he was unable to keep the Beast God with him.
The opponent is too sharp and too strong.
The moment he launched the attack, he sensed the crisis and decisively chose to escape, and his whereabouts disappeared.
As for why the Beast God didn't destroy the Lieyan tribe?
Perhaps it was because they were worried that Chi Yan also had the means to cause mutual destruction, or perhaps it was because the Lie Yan tribe, having lost the Lie Yan War Lord, was too weak and posed no threat at all.
In short, the beast god disappeared after the death of Lieyan Zhanzun.
Until now, there has only been a legend passed down orally among the ferocious beasts near the Valley of Death. Even the Lieyan tribe themselves no longer remembers this incident.
This is the life of Lie Yan Zhan Zun.
The first sentence of his last words sums up his entire past.
Lu Wenwu did not comment on the evaluation of himself by the local natives and Lieyan Zhanzun.
He only cared about what the other party had left behind.
He specially set up a room and a suicide note, it can't be that he did it just for fun, right?
After reading the suicide note, Lu Wenwu casually opened the drawer under the table.
This is one of the few entities in the entire room.
On the left side is a slightly shriveled white-pink irregular hemisphere with many grooves arranged neatly, like a maze.
Most of the sphere still has living biological tissue, but a small part has dried up and turned a dry white.
Lu Wenwu, who was extremely familiar with the human body structure, recognized it immediately.
This is a human brain.
He felt a part of the soul's echo on it.
There is a high probability that some of Lie Yan Zhan Zun’s memories are preserved here.
By reading it, you can see the other person's past life from a first-person perspective - at least part of their past life.
Lu Wenwu was not prepared to watch this.
He put it away, intending to think of a way to send it back to Blue Star for burial after he got out.
Even if it is the blue planet in a parallel world, I am finally home.
To the right of where Lieyan Zhanzun’s brain was placed was a small black bag made entirely of flesh and blood.
The small bag of flesh and blood was not big, about the size of a palm, and was covered with scarlet magic patterns.
Faintly visible tiny bluish-purple blood vessels were wriggling on the small bag of flesh and blood, constantly emitting a heart-pounding power.
It is like a miniature black hole, constantly plundering and devouring the free energy in the air.
Even though thousands of years have passed, even though it is in this sealed space, it still seems as fresh as if it had just been peeled out, full of surging vitality.
"This is the golden finger that Lie Yan Zhan Zun obtained after traveling through time."
Lu Wenwu took the organ in his hand, which looked like it had just been dissected from the stomach of some creature, and felt the warmth coming from it. He couldn't help but sigh.
It would be more accurate to say that this is the golden finger that Lie Yan Zhan Zun obtained after traveling through time.
It would be better to say that this is the reason why Lie Yan Zhan Zun was able to travel through time after his death.
Lieyan Zhanzun didn't know what this was.
He only explained in his will that after traveling to the ancient continent and bathing in beast blood, he found that this thing had replaced his stomach and was the key to his growth by devouring the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts and natural treasures.
Lu Wenwu knows him.
This is the stomach pouch.
Not just any stomach.
But it belongs to a legendary ferocious beast.
A true mythical beast!
One of the four evil beasts - Taotie!
The fundamental reason why Lieyan Zhanzun can become stronger!
In addition to his own talent for cultivation, it is also because he possesses such a voracious stomach that can convert infinite nutrients!
When Lu Wenwu took out the Taotie's stomach, this small room that held the memories of Lieyan Zhanzun began to shatter like a mirror.
Darkness gradually came from the outside world, and only the light source that no longer had the shape of a lamp remained, suspended in the air.
The true appearance of the inheritance space is revealed.
Very simple.
It looked like a small cave made of countless corpses of ferocious beasts. The bloody smell rising into the sky irritated Lu Wenwu's nostrils.
Countless broken corpses were piled there like a hill, as fresh as freshly slaughtered pigs.
Lu Wenwu was not in a hurry to use the magic of eating gods.
Instead, he walked up to a broken dried corpse sitting cross-legged, sat down opposite the corpse, and put away several broken divine treasures and several rolls of animal skins with words written on them that were in front of the corpse.
The blurred face of the mummy vaguely reveals some of the vigor and vitality of Lie Yan Zhan Zun when he was young.
But those dry and turbid eyes, which refused to close even in death, contained regret and remorse.
He resented his own arrogance and arrogance, regretted that he could not fulfill his promise to his tribesmen, and was even more regretful that he had broken his promise to his younger brother, the First Generation Chi Yan, and failed to let him see the world he had described.
Lu Wenwu took out a piece of spiritual wood and carved it into a coffin in no time. He gently placed Lie Yan Zhan Zun's body and his brain inside.
The coffin lid was closed and three incense sticks were lit.
A bunch of paper money and yellow paper that appeared out of nowhere spontaneously combusted without fire, and two steaming egg-filled pancakes were turned into flying ashes in the flames.
"Although I have never met you, I don't know where your soul is, let alone your real name."
"But Lord Lieyan, as the founder of this world's cultivation system, I, Lu Wenwu, still wish you a safe journey!"
"On the way to the underworld, let's eat something hot."
When the incense burned out, Lu Wenwu just finished reciting the last syllable of the sutra for rebirth.
Lu Wenwu stood up, put away the coffin containing the body of Lieyan Zhanzun, and sighed softly.
"Brother Lie Yan."
"I will remember your lesson."
"I will inherit the legacy you left behind."
"I will help you complete your unfinished business."
"Then, I'll take you home, back to your real home!"
As the voice fell, wind suddenly arose in the entire inheritance space.
The pitch-black gluttonous stomach seemed to have lost its substance and transformed into lines of magic patterns that merged into Lu Wenwu's skin.
The flesh and blood of countless top-level ferocious beasts were refined by the increasingly powerful immortal art of devouring gods, and all turned into nourishment. After being completely devoured, they became the help for Lu Wenwu to become the strongest.
At this moment, the purity is improved again!
