Chapter 432: Deep into the Source Gap
Mu Zhong was right. The immortal gods had a different understanding of time than the short-lived Wei Huan and others.
Because of their extremely long lives, these gods have lost their sensitivity to time.
But for Wei Huan and his ilk, who had only lived for a little over a hundred years, they hadn't yet lost their habit of being short-lived. Like mayflies, they strived to radiate their full potential in their brief existence, desperately striving to grow stronger.
The Lord of Flesh and Blood waited for five years in the kingdom of the Lord of Light before he could meet the Lord of Light.
But for Him, these five years were just the time it took for Him to take a nap, which was already very fast.
After learning that He hadn't been able to kill the disaster despite His authority, the Lord of Light assumed it was just a matter of the past. While rebuking Him, He calmly said, "My affairs here are crucial and I can't be distracted. Take my beacon with you. When you find the place to summon me, I will descend and open a passage for you to the depths. This time, you will use your true form. Even if the disasters facing you are not weak, you are the Lord God after all. Furthermore, with the authority I have given you, if you still lose, you are not worthy of being a god."
Unexpectedly, the Lord of Flesh and Blood did not directly accept the order as usual. He had contacted Wei Huan several times and realized that something was wrong: "Master Lord, these disasters are strange. They have not only mastered the ancient god bodies and ancient god combat skills, but their growth rate and law cultivation are also far beyond that of ordinary people. If we continue to follow our previous experience, I am afraid I will not be able to kill them all this time.
Please, Lord, grant me more authority, at least enough to kill a Lord God."
The Lord of Light was like the sun hanging high in the sky, gleaming with his anger. "You actually want the authority of a Lord God?"
"That's right, please help me, Lord." Even though the Lord of Flesh and Blood was trembling under the power of the Lord, he still insisted on asking for it.
The sun was high in the sky, and there was no movement for a long time. Just when the Lord of Flesh and Blood was about to give up, the Lord of Light finally spoke: "Okay, this time I will let the Lord of Elements go with you, as well as the gods under your names. If you lose again..."
No extra words were said, but the existence of subordinates who always failed had no meaning. Although from the perspective of mortals, not one out of billions could become a god, and it was extremely difficult to become a god, but from the perspective of the master, it was just a matter of shattering the godhead and getting another one. There were countless gods in reserve, even at the main god level. If the person in this position was really not capable of doing it, just replace him with another one.
The Lord of Flesh and Blood was both terrified and excited. Crimson blood kept flowing from his scarlet body, burning the air and making a sizzling sound.
"Thank you, Master, for the help of the elements. This time, I will definitely destroy his godhead, seize the ancient god's cultivation method, and contribute to Master's great cause!"
"Very good."
As the last voice of the Lord of Light sounded, a purple lightning flew from the sky and suddenly fell from the horizon like a meteorite next to the Lord of Flesh and Blood.
Then, a vague, yet unpredictable, elemental life form imbued with the laws of the Five Elements spoke, "Master, you summoned me?"
…
This was already the tenth day that Wei Huan and the other two had been going deep into the Chaos Source Gap. They had reached an unprecedented depth, even deeper than when Wei Huan first came down alone and retrieved the location of the Yellow Springs Law.
But even so, according to the Lord of Light, they are still wandering in the very shallow layer of the divine realm here.
The Lord of Light said: "...The abyss is so deep that it is unreachable. Not to mention you, even if a Lord wants to go deep into the abyss, it will take a long time and a lot of twists and turns.
With your strength, you can still cope with the shallow level, but be careful not to go deeper."
Mu Zhong said, "The Karma Fire Godhead seems to be deeper. Do you think we can do it?"
"You guys, I'm afraid it's not possible." After saying this, the Lord of Light puffed out his chest again, "But with me here, the depth of the Hellfire Godhead is nothing."
"Then I'll have to trouble the teacher to take action at the critical moment."
The Lord of Light waved his hand and said, "Since I asked you to take it, I will ensure your safety. But remember, I can only do so many times, unless you have to deal with it yourself."
"Of course. How dare we trouble you with everything? You are the guardian of the divine weapon, and more importantly, you are here to give us courage. With you protecting us, we should not think about how to save trouble, but rather seize opportunities to grow, deal with more situations, and improve our experience. You teach us and answer our questions, and we must also work hard to achieve results."
Xu Qingqiang glanced at Wei Huan without saying a word, but it seemed as if he had said countless words.
When it comes to speaking well, Mu Zhong is the one. Wei Huan isn't good with words, and Xu Qingqiang disdains flattery, but that doesn't mean the dignified Lord of Light doesn't value sentiment. So far, the Lord of Light has been giving unilaterally, never asking for anything in return. Even if he's a teacher, he still has to give back.
Besides, if you make your child happy and give to him/her voluntarily, the amount you give will definitely be more and better than if he/she is unhappy.
Mu Zhong is a genius in interpersonal relationships. For him, speaking nice words that touch people's hearts is not flattery, but rather a sign of his high emotional intelligence and the ability to accurately hit the point, which is his talent.
Otherwise, Iron Heart, from an impartial system, would not have inexplicably started to plot for Blue Star. Blue Star has gained too many benefits from Iron Heart.
That is to say, the Lord of Light did not choose Mu Zhong in the first place, otherwise he would have a heart of steel. Mu Zhong would definitely be able to make him happy and at the same time, find out all the old stories of his sons in the God Realm.
When Wei Huan and the Lord of Light are together, they are quiet most of the time and may not say a word to each other for a month or two.
This situation is a waste for Mu Zhong.
If you don’t have the confidence to use such a big golden finger, isn’t that a waste?
So recently, after Mu Zhong woke up and started to act together, he coaxed the Lord of Light into not burying his head in research, and appeared every day to talk. It only took about ten days for him to go from not wanting to take action in the beginning to taking action as a matter of course.
What is ability? This is what is called ability.
Mu Zhong was still chatting with the Lord of Light. "Teacher, you said that most of the Lords sought the authority of the Heavenly Emperor in the Forbidden Realm. Could it be that the Forbidden Realm was formed after the fall of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor?"
"It's more than that," said the Lord of Light. "The domain that caused the fall of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor is even more terrifying than the place where the Heavenly Emperor fell. Now, coupled with the resentment of the fall of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, it has become a forbidding zone where even a Lord-level being would perish at any moment."
"So, now many overlords are trapped in this. Do you think they can get out?"
"It's hard to say. If you want to seize the power of the Heavenly Emperor, you will have to pay a price. It's not that easy to go one step further. The Heavenly Emperor is already the limit of what life can achieve. The way of heaven only allows four Heavenly Emperors to exist, but how many lives are there in this world?"
"You're right. If you don't fight, others will. If you don't win, that's fine. But if you don't take action and someone else wins, who would be willing to accept that? Taichu's fall marked the beginning of all the chaos. As long as the throne remains undecided, there will be no peace. Who would be willing to accept the fate of being a king and a loser?"
The Lord of Light was touched on a sore spot and heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes, I'm unwilling to accept this, but what can I do? A loser should behave like a loser."
Mu Zhong's eyes flickered. He felt that this was not a good topic to talk about. The Lord of Light had been gradually depressed because of his failure. Once the conversation got deeper, his mood would drop, and it would be difficult to coax him back. If he didn't check it once, he might even become autistic for several days before coming out. Since then, Mu Zhong has been much more careful with his words.
It's just that this Lord of Light is very "fragile" and will take the slightest disturbance seriously. Once this kind of emotion subsides, it will be difficult to come up with anything else to talk about.
Mu Zhong felt a little regretful. It was a rare opportunity to talk about the real secrets of the Divine Realm, but he broke the other person's defense after just a few words. It seemed that the struggle among the high-level gods was really fierce. It was not as simple as having a high enough talent for cultivation and a sufficient level of cultivation to be able to upgrade.
There are only so many spots, and if you don’t fight for them, you lose.
The Lord of Light looked gloomy. Mu Zhong was about to say something when Wei Huan suddenly said, "Here comes the evil beast."
As the words fell, Sister Ya turned in the air and broke out in another direction.
Mu Zhong asked: "Are there a lot of them?" Otherwise, Sister Crow wouldn't have changed direction. With their strength, they can now easily push away a small team of dozens of evil beasts.
"Well, no less than a hundred."
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang have been adventuring in this chaotic source gap for the past few years. They use the soul power obtained from hunting evil beasts to enhance their spiritual awareness. Now the distance of his spiritual awareness has expanded to 500 meters. Although it is not very far, this distance is enough for them to escape easily.
If you don't want to fight, Sister Ya's speed is enough for her to leave.
But the reason they entered this world was, first, to find the Karma Fire Godhead, and second, to continue hunting the Chaos Beasts. It didn't make sense for a hunter to turn around and run away after seeing the prey.
Wei Huan ordered Sister Ya to break out to the other side. As long as they were not surrounded by these evil beasts, they could eliminate them one by one after dealing with them.
"Come on, hehe!" Xu Qingqiang was already filled with murderous intent upon hearing these words. The thorny magic pattern had climbed onto his face at some point, and the three one-meter-long horns on his head were like blades, with a deep blood color on the blades. Coupled with the bone spurs growing on his body, he was simply a weapon of war.
Wei Huan let Sister Ya spin out of the encirclement, and then fly out in an arc. Its wings were like sharp blades that cut through space. A large area of space was divided into two, opening up a space like a truncated waterfall.
In the space, the army of undead is ready for battle at any moment. There is a strange green light flashing in their eyes. They are arranged in neat rows, with great momentum, like a well-trained army.
"Kill!" Wei Huan shouted suddenly, and swung the Corrupted Scythe in his hand towards the group of chaotic beasts.
In an instant, the Undead army rushed towards the Chaos Beasts like a tide, and the Chaos Beasts, fearless of death, started a fierce fight.
At the same time, Mu Zhong, a lower-level god of the time-retrospective law, danced his hands quickly, and a layer of mysterious light emanated from his body.
The light quickly spread out, enveloping Wei Huan, Xu Qingqiang and the army of undead.
The flow of time inside began to change, the time of the undead army slowed down, and the time of the evil beasts sped up. The evil beasts began to have difficulty seeing the movements of the undead army, so even though they were much stronger, facing the undead army that could clearly see their every move, they were like moving targets.
And this is not the end. When the familiar "ding" sound rang out, the ancient bell sound traveled through time and space and descended into the world.
For a moment, it seemed as if countless human gods were walking across the river of time, some with solemn expressions, some with their heads raised and laughing. The afterimages they left in time in the past had traces of the laws, and were led into the world by Mu Zhong, descending upon the bodies of the undead.
“Hehehe!”
However, the one who made the biggest improvement was Xu Qingqiang.
Xu Qingqiang thrived in the undead army, and now with Mu Zhong's blessing, he became even more powerful, like a divine weapon that could even cut a hole in the sky.
Wherever he passed, blood splattered and turned into blood mist that remained in place. The surface of the evil beast stained with the blood mist began to corrode, and a large amount of energy flowed out uncontrollably, turning into more blood mist. In the end, it was all absorbed by Xu Qingqiang, allowing him to always maintain abundant energy, healing his injuries, and his fighting power became more and more powerful.
The evil beast that was attacked by Xu Qingqiang finally fell down. Now Xu Qingqiang can kill the evil beast.
However, the fallen evil beasts are not dead, they will soon be resurrected nearby.
Xu Qingqiang is a vampire warrior, so his explosive power is not that strong, so he naturally cannot destroy the evil beast that requires an instant burst of dominant power to kill.
But Xu Qingqiang was not in a hurry, and he turned a blind eye to the evil beasts that were beginning to revive. He just rushed forward and killed more evil beasts. In the process, he gained insights into combat, improved his practice, and became stronger.
Xu Qingqiang just rushed forward. It was Wei Huan's job to kill the resurrected evil beast.
This was the experience gained from the two men's cooperation in combat. To kill the evil beast, Wei Huan had to stack at least five mountain-shaped divine runes to succeed. However, for the evil beast that was killed and then resurrected by Xu Qingqiang, Wei Huan now only needed to stack the divine runes three times.
He could instantly stack three divine patterns, and the resurrected evil beast would be stunned for a moment, which gave Wei Huan the opportunity to take action.
One improves the status, the other reduces the health line, and finally Wei Huan makes another killing move.
Perfect!
Are hundreds of evil beasts a lot? Yes, a lot.
But with the cooperation of the three, it was just a waste of time.
This is why they dare to come here to the depths of the divine realm. Even though this depth is still extremely shallow in the mouth of the Lord of Light, for them, the intensity of the battle here is several times that of the real surface, and there are more evil beast nests.
But even so, they can deal with it calmly and become so strong without realizing it.
With their perfect coordination, the last evil beast fell down unwillingly.
Wei Huan gathered the last wisp of soul power into his palm, and then divided all the soul power equally into three parts, giving them to Mu Zhong and Xu Qingqiang respectively. He then inserted the remaining share into his forehead, and the distance of his spiritual consciousness instantly increased by another ten meters.
Wei Huan's soul is very strong, more than ten times that of Xu Qingqiang. Mu Zhong has been entangled with Wei Huan's soul from the beginning, and his soul is also three or four times stronger than Xu Qingqiang.
Xu Qingqiang is that comparison value. He should be the only one slightly higher than Haotian among the current human gods.
But he is no longer the same person he was before. After his soul power increased, even his cultivation speed increased.
After Xu Qingqiang impatiently absorbed his share, he said happily, "My realm has loosened. In the previous battle, I gained a little understanding of the law of annihilation. The seamless egg has a crack, and sooner or later I will be able to nail it into it."
Are you comparing yourself to a fly?
Mu Zhong didn't laugh at his joke, but said, "Although these evil beasts are difficult to kill, they are indeed great treasures. Every time my soul power increases, I feel my cultivation level improve. Your soul power is already strong, so the feeling is not obvious, but I can feel that soul power not only increases my divine consciousness, but my world of laws is also growing significantly. The most important thing is that the strength of the world of laws seems to be affecting the ancient god world within me. I have a hunch that if I continue like this, I will be able to master the divine runes sooner or later."
Xu Qingqiang said, "What's the use of you, a supporting player, mastering the Mountain Divine Mark? That thing should be given to me. I will fight in close combat and be the main attacker to destroy the enemy."
Mu Zhong laughed. "I didn't say it was the mountain divine pattern. Have you forgotten what Wei Huan said? There are many divine patterns engraved on that bloody flesh cocoon. If I could see it, I would definitely prioritize the parts I can understand."
Xu Qingqiang thought: "What else can I do? I think the Mountain Divine Rune and the Repeated Divine Rune are fine. They suit me very well."
Mu Zhong smiled patiently: "You'll know when you see it. If it's suitable for you, you'll definitely be the first to understand it."
Xu Qingqiang sighed and scratched his head. "Really? How long will it take? My soul power is so weak, is it because I'm stupid?"
"Not at all," said the Lord of Light, who had disappeared during the battle and reappeared. "Soul power is far more than just the word 'soul'. It has nothing to do with intelligence. In my opinion, it's more like a blessing from heaven. Those with a strong soul will have everything going their way."
After saying this, the Lord of Light looked at Wei Huan and said, "Your soul is very heavy, but this is not surprising. I have seen many gods with souls heavier than yours, but the quality of your soul is very strange, and deep within it there is something that I cannot understand.
It’s strange that I still can’t figure it out after studying it for so long.”
Wei Huan was awestruck in his heart, but his expression did not show it. He did not explain or say much, and was as quiet as ever.
Sure enough, the Lord of Light just muttered this and gave up before he could figure it out.
"Yeah, the eldest is God's biological son, and I was adopted. Not only was I adopted, I was also the least favored and most disliked one."
Xu Qingqiang became even more depressed after hearing this. Why did he have the least soul power? He was obviously the fastest in cultivation and the second strongest person after the boss. Why was he not loved by his mother and father and became a pitiful guy?
The Lord of Light hadn't expected to still have to consider the issue of keeping things balanced after living so long. Xu Qingqiang looked at him with resentment. He pondered for a moment before offering comfort, "You may not have much blessings, but that's only relative. You know, even many mid-level gods don't possess as much soul power as you do. In my opinion, your soul power is directly proportional to your strength and is already exceptional. Now that you've eliminated the evil beasts and accumulated merit, you'll surely become even stronger."
It was unknown whether Xu Qingqiang was comforted or not, but Mu Zhong was surprised when he heard this and said, "You said that clearing out evil beasts can accumulate merit. Is that what I thought you meant?"
The Lord of Light nodded. "This evil beast is like the stubborn diseases of this world. Harmful cells, if accumulated too much, can even lead to an outbreak of a serious disease. Eliminating this evil beast is indeed in line with the laws of nature. However, this is a small compensation from the laws of nature. The Lord doesn't want it, and the lower-level gods can't kill it, so it hasn't spread widely."
After a few seconds of silence, Xu Qingqiang said, "I don't need much blessings, as long as I follow the right brother." After saying this, he thought it through, and laughed strangely while biting his cigarette, and he became even happier.
The Lord of Light was somewhat curious: "Your cigarettes are clearly extremely pungent and unbearable, so how come you're addicted and can't let go of them?"
Xu Qingqiang understood immediately and quickly took out his best pack of cigarettes and handed it to the Lord of Light: "Teacher, please."
The Lord of Light hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the innate spirit of research. He took the phone and took two puffs: "Ahem!"
The four of them were quite lively. Although Wei Huan seldom spoke, he liked to listen. When the Lord of Light coughed, even he couldn't help laughing.
Just talking like this, dealing with the monster more carefully, gradually going deeper into the inner divine realm, and at the same time getting closer to the Karma Fire Godhead.
The Law of Karma Fire is one of the three intermediate laws of the Abyss. Even if a god falls, the divine nature he leaves behind continues to release energy.
The energy of the middle-level godhead is powerful and long-lasting, which has a considerable deterrent and damage to the lower-level gods, but for Wei Huan and others, it has become the best signal station.
Along the way, except for being occasionally blocked by a large number of chaotic beasts, they ran almost straight towards their goal.
Finally, on this day, the Karma Fire Godhead was within reach.
However, the reality is that they not only dare not move, they don't even dare to get close.
Where the Karma Fire Godhead is located, there are countless chaotic evil beasts. With Wei Huan's spiritual sense, he cannot see clearly what is in the depths.
Wei Huan looked at the densely packed Chaos Beasts with a determined gaze and said in a deep voice, "The Karma Fire Godhead is just ahead. Since we can't advance, we should clear it out from the periphery first, kill it step by step, and grow through the battle."
Xu Qingqiang gripped the blood-red spear tightly in his hand, his eyes full of fighting spirit, while Mu Zhong's body was surrounded by the light of the law of time, ready to assist in the battle.
The three men launched into action. Xu Qingqiang led the charge, charging into the herd of evil beasts. His blood-red spear swung, sending splattering blood scattering as the beasts fell to the ground. Mu Zhong followed closely behind, his hands dancing rapidly. The power of the law of time slowed the surrounding beasts, creating a better opportunity for Xu Qingqiang to attack. Wei Huan, in the rear, commanded the undead army, flanking and engaging the beasts.
The three of them cooperated well and did not act rashly. Every time they would kill dozens of chaotic beasts as quickly as possible, and then escape far away, absorbing the soul power they gained to strengthen themselves.
It didn't take long before they were able to deal with more Chaos Beasts at the same time.
However, the Chaos Beasts were not to be trifled with. After hunting down a group of Chaos Beasts again, they did not expect to be surrounded by them. The three of them cooperated well and successfully broke through, but were chased for more than a day before the beasts reluctantly retreated.
Sister Crow is a Saint, and is a speed-type undead leader, so she is naturally the fastest when it comes to traveling and escaping.
However, the person who made the greatest contribution to this escape was Mu Zhong.
As a god who controls the laws of time, Mu Zhong not only traveled back in time to become a god, but also entered the Tao through the laws of the four seasons.
The Law of Four Seasons, also known as Time Control, can change the flow rate in a circle. Mu Zhong uses the means of the gods to control time. Although it is far less powerful than the God of Four Seasons, it is very effective in emergency response at critical moments.
Whenever the Chaos Beast tried to catch up, it would be trapped in an area of time chaos, and would watch Wei Huan and the others disappear in a few flashes as if they were teleporting.
It’s not that Wei Huan’s speed increased, but that the Chaos Beast’s time was affected.
It was Mu Zhong's joining that gave them the courage to go deep into the inner divine realm.
