Chapter 444: Finding the Ancient Godworm
Hundreds of the nearest residual souls of the Lord of Light stopped their research at the same time and turned to look over.
Then countless figures gathered together, and a more complete remnant soul of the Lord of Light appeared in front of Wei Huan, saying impatiently: "Take me there."
As Wei Huan left the Ancient God World with the remnant soul of the Lord of Light, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, you said the Ancient God Body can be improved?"
When talking about his own research, the remnant soul of the Lord of Light began to talk non-stop: "The upper limit of your ancient divine body can only reach the main god level.
The Abyss Clan is only the descendant of the ancient gods. The ancient god body cultivation methods they can deduce naturally cannot be compared with those of the real ancient gods.
You should have discovered that when mortals cultivate the ancient divine body, they can only achieve the level of becoming a god in the flesh. When they encounter tricky and special attacks of the laws, they will become moving targets.
Aside from being strong and having high defense, it's not particularly impressive."
Wei Huan nodded.
That's true.
The common people on Qiyuan Star cultivate ancient divine bodies. Even in the unique environment of Qiyuan Star, the most talented ones can only cultivate to the level of lower gods.
As they describe it, their bodies are already saturated, like a bucket full of water that cannot hold even one more drop.
Wei Huan and others had also studied it a long time ago and came up with a guess.
Apart from these few gods of law, the number of people cultivating ancient god bodies is still increasing, and the threshold for the descendants of ancient gods can only be cultivated to that level.
This means that even if the ancient divine body cultivation method is practiced to the extreme, it may seem as powerful as a god, but in fact it cannot break through the boundary between mortals and gods.
This also represents the fundamental difference between the true God and his descendants.
The remnant soul of the Lord of Light continued, "The reason you can continue to cultivate is because you have used the power of the laws to break the boundaries of the gods and changed your bloodline, which gave you the opportunity to continue to cultivate.
But this still cannot be changed. This is only a method for cultivating the Ancient God Body, not for turning you into a true Ancient God."
At this point, the remnant soul of the Lord of Light paused and said, "To be fair, as a God of Law, I shouldn't advocate the ancient divine body cultivation method. If I'm not idealistic and confident, it would go against my heart of Tao. If I want to make further progress, it will be extremely difficult.
But I still have to say that the ancient divine bodies, as the first living beings to emerge from the world, were nourished by the primordial energy and favored by the heavens. Their uniqueness is something even the gods envy.
"Special?" Wei Huan asked in confusion. What was so special about the ancient god?
The remnant soul of the Lord of Light looked at Wei Huan and smiled: "You've seen it with your own eyes, and you didn't notice it?"
Wei Huan pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "Is the true spirit immortal?"
"That's right, if the God of Laws dies, he will immediately turn into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and dissipate, leaving only a godhead, but there is no true spirit in the godhead.
In other words, dead is dead.
But you also saw that even though the bodies of the ancient gods have fallen for tens of thousands of years, there is still a bit of their true spirit left. They are sleeping in your world of ancient gods. Once your world changes and a wisp of primordial energy is born, they will be able to revive.
In a sense, it is truly immortal.
And even mortals have souls.
When the Great Emperor Taichu existed, he was in charge of death and chaos. All the souls in this divine realm were protected by the Great Emperor Taichu. It was through reincarnation that the divine realm was able to maintain its endless vitality.
However, the other gods could not tolerate their own kingdoms and the souls of their believers not returning to their embrace, and they deeply resented Taichu Great Emperor.
In addition, the ancient god is protected by the Taichu Emperor, and there is a chance for rebirth after the disaster and the end of the world. How could the God of Law not be concerned about the emperor's power?
This is the cause, which leads to the consequence.”
Wei Huan knew the "background" of this.
Although this was the first time that the remnant soul of the Lord of Light narrated orally, He would compile His memories into a book. Mu Zhong had seen it and told him.
But no one expected that, according to the remnant soul of the Lord of Light, the fall of the Great Emperor Taichu was actually related to the immortality of the ancient god's true spirit.
When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. The remnant soul of the Lord of Light was filled with sighs and couldn't stop, and gradually went off topic. Wei Huan patiently chatted with him for a while, and the desire to talk of the remnant soul of the Lord of Light was slowly relieved.
The Lord of Light then looked at the core restriction in front of him again and said proudly, "Although I am not good at fighting, when it comes to studying the laws and restrictions of the universe, there is no one in this world who is stronger than me, and no one who is even a little weaker than me.
This mere restriction is probably the result of the full might of that old Life Master. Just watch carefully, it's nothing in front of me."
While saying this, the remnant soul of the Lord of Light had a serious look in his eyes. He opened his palm and placed it on the restriction without moving for a long time.
Until one moment, his eyebrows suddenly jumped, and a passage that could accommodate people entering and exiting appeared in front of him.
"Walk."
When Wei Huan heard this, he quickly slipped in, followed closely by the residual soul of the Lord of Light.
As soon as they entered, the passage was closed. Wei Huan, who finally entered, looked ahead and dared not move.
There was also a vast expanse of empty space ahead, and the figures of ancient gods could be vaguely seen from far and near. However, unlike the outside, green life forces like roots were dancing everywhere here, and those life forces were especially wrapped around the bodies of the ancient gods, wrapping them into a big green cocoon.
Wei Huan had seen these green tentacles outside before and had felt their terrifying power. He knew that once he was entangled by these tentacles, he would not be able to break free until he was reduced to ashes.
And now, in this space, such tentacles can be seen everywhere, and there are threats everywhere.
When Wei Huan was silent, the remnant soul of the Lord of Light reminded him, "This is only the area for suppressing the Ancient Gods. Even if he is a Lord, he won't have much spare energy to suppress so many Ancient Gods at the same time. He must be using all his strength to perform moves that restrain the Ancient Gods.
Your power of law is your passport here, so go ahead and try it, and I guarantee your safety."
Wei Huan nodded, summoned Dian Ma first, and then asked Dian Ma to release some face huggers to contact those life forces.
The facehugger approached the nearest life tentacle as it was watched, but even though it was so close, the life tentacle did not react.
However, when the face hugger touched the life tentacles, the life tentacles reflexively rolled it up, just like those ancient gods, forming a green light cocoon on the surface of the face hugger.
Wei Huan waited patiently for a while, but he didn't expect the facehugger to be still alive.
Given the size of the facehugger, if the life tentacles absorbed its power, it would shrivel up in an instant.
Now, wrapped around the facehugger, it only trapped it but did not absorb its power.
However, even with the facehugger's strength, it was impossible to break free from the life tentacles.
Next, Wei Huan let the facehugger self-destruct. The facehugger was gone, but at the same time its life tentacles were also blown off.
The life tentacle did not react much after being blown off. It quickly grew out from the broken end and restored its original appearance.
There was never a strong intention to attack.
Wei Huan had seen the life tentacles attacking the corpse of the ancient god. They were so horribly predatory, like a vicious robber.
He did not take the risk lightly, and then asked other undead, including Zerg, to try it.
The outcome for the Zerg was not good. As descendants of the ancient gods, they were also identified as nutrients by these life tentacles. The ninth-level Zerg were instantly sucked dry.
But no matter what the undead did, they would not stimulate the life tentacles. The reaction of those life tentacles was as if they were being surrounded by annoying flies. They would wave their hands impatiently, and even felt disgusted with dirtying their hands by swatting the flies to death.
The undead are just a manifestation of the law of Wei Huan as the god of death. They are not real life, just like a fireball thrown by the god of fire.
As long as it's not excessive, the life tentacles will not react.
Sufficient experimentation gives you the confidence to move forward.
The remnant soul of the Lord of Light approved of Wei Huan's experimental spirit and waited quietly throughout the whole process without making any comments or taking on too much responsibility.
After Wei Huan obtained the safety bottom line for walking in this space, he landed on the back shell of Dian Ma, asked it to open the protective shield, and then shrink it to a size that could just carry one person.
The remnant soul of the Lord of Light chose to return to the world of ancient gods, and could also see the situation outside clearly.
Finally, in order to further reduce the space, Wei Huan sat cross-legged on Dian Ma's back, patted her back and said, "Let's go."
Dian Ma retracted her overly long tentacles and flew out like a white jade flying disc.
It is flexible and light, and has a protective shield to protect Wei Huan. If he is entangled by the life tentacles, Wei Huan still has a breath of time to escape before breaking the protective shield.
This is the core area of the dominant-level world of transformation, so it is never too cautious.
In this way, Wei Huan successfully passed through a large space full of life tentacles and finally approached the nearest ancient god.
This ancient god is a fleshy ball with many eyes and many flesh tentacles. It is twice as big as Blue Star and looks about the same size as the ancient godworm.
He floated motionless in the void, and one could feel his life breath, along with the occasional wriggling of his flesh and blood tentacles, and his countless closed eyes, as if he were sleeping.
Wei Huan retreated a little, then sent three facehuggers carrying Netherfire bombs to fly in front of the ancient god.
It exploded with a loud "boom".
Sleep!? It’s already so late and you’re still sleeping!
Wei Huan tried to blast the ancient god awake.
This ancient god lived up to expectations and opened his three eyes affected by the shock wave of the explosion.
The moment he woke up, he began to struggle violently, and his soft flesh tentacles began to twist again.
But the life force also began to strengthen, and the green light visible to the naked eye was increasing.
The ancient god with a thousand hands and eyes struggled for more than three seconds before he was exhausted and could no longer move. His tentacles softened and his eyes closed one after another.
The last eye was staring at the place where Wei Huan was hiding, as if it had discovered Wei Huan's existence and was trying hard to keep it open.
But in the end, he closed it unwillingly.
Wei Huan guessed that the other party must have discovered him. The ancient god's many eyes must not be for decoration, and seeing through illusions should be basic skills.
However, he had no intention of showing up, nor would he wake Him up again. There were dangers at every step here, and any action he took would be dangerous, let alone saving God.
He must now complete the purpose for which he came here before anything else.
Wei Huan began to walk deeper. There were not many ancient gods here, and there was only one at a long distance. Each one was two or three times larger than the Blue Star, and all had the strength of a main god.
They are also still alive, in deep sleep.
Wei Huan also discovered that the green cocoons on the bodies of different ancient gods had different shades of green. Some were so thick that they turned into dark green, while others had only a light layer.
In this way, he passed by eight sleeping ancient gods, one of which made Wei Huan look at it a few more times.
The entire body of this ancient god looked to be no more than a dozen football fields in size, as flat as a piece of paper, and his body had a strange pulling sensation, as if it had been pulled into a piece of paper by something.
The green cocoon of light on this ancient god was the thickest. If the cocoon of light was not so thick, he would not have taken a close look at what the ancient god inside looked like.
However, Wei Huan’s focus now was to find the ancient divine insect, so after taking a few more glances, he hurried away.
After passing several ancient gods with huge bodies, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
It was an enormous beetle, its entire body pitch black with a faint golden texture. It was curled up with its six legs, sleeping motionlessly.
On his back, one could see some rolling mountains, seas, and rivers in the distance. He was indeed carrying a world on his back, a world of dark beasts that had once competed with humans.
After becoming a god, the last time Wei Huan returned to Blue Star, he tried to pass through the world barrier from the Dark Beast World, but found that he could not reach anywhere.
Leaving the Dark Beast World is a universe with brilliant and boundless star fields. He flew far away and reached nothingness.
After seeing the endless darkness ahead, a fear arose in his heart, which made him stop his exploration.
Now, looking in from the outside, everything becomes clear.
If he had not given up and continued to break out, he would not know whether he could break out of that silent space. Even if he did, he would have to face the tentacles of the master of life.
As a dish that had been entangled by the ancient godworm, he would certainly be attacked without any explanation.
I'm afraid he fell without even knowing what attacked him?
Wei Huan was very glad that he didn't have the habit of asking too many questions, so he escaped this disaster.
However, after carefully observing the ancient god insect, Wei Huan quickly discovered that the green light wrapped around the ancient god insect was relatively faint.
Rather than using Him as a power bank, it would be more accurate to say that He was simply suppressed with these life tentacles.
This is probably related to His own participation in the competition among civilizations.
To be honest, the Lord of Life is indeed absolutely fair and merciful to every civilization that challenges it.
He cultivates every challenging civilization like a strict father, and selflessly cultivates many lower gods.
If there were no existence of the Challenging World, the gods in the entire divine realm would probably be monopolized by the interest group headed by the current Lord of Light.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.
They would kill Wei Huan and other gods who were detrimental to their interests, and would give protection to gods who surrendered to them. However, they also controlled all the kingdoms of gods to ensure that the subsequent birth of gods was also under their control.
Wei Huan felt the aura of the ancient divine insect, which was also suppressed and asleep. Once it was awakened, it would probably still be suppressed by the challenging world.
However, Wei Huan had an idea before he came here. He approached the ancient god insect and flew around it until he felt a sense of something in his heart.
"Moji..."
Wei Huan had a flash of awareness in his heart.
“Wow! Wow!!”
The next second, an excited consciousness responded to me in my mind.
Wei Huan breathed a sigh of relief. He actually managed to contact Mo Ji in the Dark Beast World.
As an extremely special existence among the summoned undead, Moji showed its uniqueness from the very beginning. The resistance and dependence on it both reflected the characteristics of an independent life with the ability to think.
Later, by some strange coincidence, Mo Ji became the king of the dark beast clan.
It is worth mentioning here that although the ancient godworm is a beetle, the essence of its life is the same as that of a hive. It manages the life on its back through a spiritual network.
In the long life of the ancient godworm, it has actually created many civilizations, but by accident, this time the dark beast civilization fell from above, similar to the model of having "control authority", allowing Mo Ji to finally get the highest control.
This control even allows it to communicate with the ancient god insect.
The ancient godworm was suppressed by the Lord of Life and seemed to be asleep, but it was only his main consciousness that was asleep, and his consciousness clone was always active.
No matter who it is, they will not be able to fall asleep even if they are forced to sleep for millions of years.
Always find something fun for yourself.
Wei Huan did this twice. He asked Dou Lin to take the ancient god insect's consciousness clone and travel through many worlds to reach the battlefield of all races in the ninth-level world. He also let the ancient god insect's real body "descend" through the consciousness clone, helping Wei Huan to break the conspiracy of gods such as the Lord of Flesh and Blood time and time again.
Now, Wei Huan came directly to the side of the ancient god insect. He needed to talk to the ancient god insect and ask it whether he wanted to rescue it himself.
"want!!"
The ancient god insect communicated directly with Wei Huan through Mo Ji. After learning the purpose of Wei Huan's visit, he let out a soul scream.
Yes! I have to!
After being suppressed for a million years, he thought he was doomed to die and had given up struggling and just blew bubbles for fun. Now that the hope of escaping is in front of him, he will say anything for it!
Wei Huan said, "I have a way to take you away, but I haven't tried it before, so I can't guarantee success. If it fails this time, it will anger the Challenge World, and you'll probably die.
Even so, do you still want to try?"
The Ancient Godworm calmed down instantly. He had to ask clearly, "What is your method?"
Wei Huan then recounted his journey, successfully bringing the ancient god's corpse to the ancient god's world. He then added, "...But those were all discarded, useless ancient god corpses. I've never tried to succeed in a situation like yours, still alive and encased in the power of the laws of life by the Lord of Life."
The ancient god insect is a neutral and peaceful ancient god with a mild character that is almost cowardly and submissive.
He didn't really want to take any risks.
He asked a few questions hesitantly and hesitantly, as if he had obvious Stockholm syndrome. He actually felt that if he continued like this, he would be quite safe and might not die.
The Ancient Godworm continued, "Do you remember the contract I signed with you, witnessed by the Challenge World? I promised to do three things for you, and the Challenge World would let me go. Perhaps we don't need to take risks to gain freedom."
"Bullshit!" The remnant soul of the Lord of Light was furious. "In this world, that old thing called Life is the Way of Heaven. After becoming a Dao, it didn't even have its own consciousness. How could you believe that it would spit out the meat in its mouth? Naive!"
It’s a pity that the remnant soul of the Lord of Light was calling out in Wei Huan’s mind, and the ancient god insect didn’t know.
Faced with Wei Huan's rescue, the ancient god insect retreated a little and wanted to resolve the problem in a more peaceful way.
Wei Huan originally wanted to do the same as the remnant soul of the Lord of Light and give it some advice not to be so naive, but when Wei Huan looked at the living ancient god insect and thought of the remains of the ancient gods outside, he hesitated.
And, maybe it is really possible to succeed?
Although his expectations are not high, Wei Huan still hopes that Challenge the World can be a little honest.
"Okay, then I'll let you help me fulfill my last wish.
Send Moji back to Blue Star, leave all the resources produced in your world, and our contract will be completed."
Who knew that the ancient insect would refuse, saying, "We need all the resources. It will take a very, very long time."
He couldn't wait to be free.
Wei Huan actually didn't have the patience to wait that long. He had been here for so long that he wanted to go back and appease Mu Zhong, but his main goal had not been achieved, so he was definitely unwilling to leave like that.
Wei Huan was searching for the resources of the Dark Beast World. In fact, a lot of them had been mined over the years. In addition, humans had entered the ninth-level world and could trade with other worlds.
As well as the ancient god worlds of their five human gods, resources will be born, and now their dependence on resources from the dark beast world is getting less and less.
He agreed and said, "Okay, I only want the valuable resources. Next, listen carefully to their names, their shapes, and their locations. You can filter them and find everything.
The first one is a deep-sea fish pearl. It grows deep in the ocean floor, preferring to grow in the center of a dark red seaweed. Those seaweeds are very aggressive towards intruders, but the deep-sea fish pearl emits a light-type energy. You..."
The Ancient Godworm was puzzled: "The civilization I cultivated this time is based on the laws of darkness, how could there be light energy?"
Wei Huan: “…”
How did he know? Perhaps where there is darkness there is light, and therefore the light fish beads born from darkness have special functions and become an extremely precious resource.
Wei Huan did not answer, but continued: "The second is..."
After talking about twenty kinds of precious resources in one breath, the only things left were the ancient god insects, Mo Ji, and the humans on Blue Star.
Wei Huan simply found a quiet place, sat cross-legged, and continued to refine the energy of the ancient gods, seizing the time to practice.
The reason why the materials are transferred now and Mo Ji has to be rescued is because Wei Huan is not optimistic about this contract. If something happens, the dark beast world may be destroyed.
Wei Huan was not interested in saving the Dark Beast. He didn't care about life. In his eyes, it was just a wisp of energy that would exist in another form even without a physical body.
Besides, the Lord of Light stole the Great Emperor's power of reincarnation and controlled the souls of the dark beasts. Even if he saved these dark beasts, it would be of no use without their souls.
As for what use is the soul?
Wei Huan was actually not sure, but he vaguely felt that the soul, as the most core power in this world, was not just energy, but a kind of authority itself.
What must be said is that controlling the "authority of the Emperor's reincarnation" does not mean controlling the "soul".
But if one can control the soul, one will definitely have the authority of reincarnation.
