Chapter 490: Qiyuan Star Three Hundred Years Later
Wei Huan hurriedly bowed and greeted: "Greetings, Mother Earth."
Then he explained: "I am the successor of Huan, the leader of the Undead Clan. I am from the human race. My name is Wei Huan."
"Hmm..." The Earth Mother had naturally seen through his soul long ago and just looked at him with a smile.
Wei Huan thought for a moment and said, "You said there's a way to heal your injury. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. I'll do my best."
The Earth Mother smiled and said, "My Earth Mother Breath was borrowed by a young man a million years ago. After losing the source, I could only fall into a deep sleep. Now I think he should have used it up."
Wei Huan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I remember, but it's just some impression. I can't remember more."
Such words seemed like an excuse to refuse, but the Earth Mother did not mind. She just raised her hand and touched Wei Huan's brow with her slender fingers.
It wasn't until this point landed between his brows that Wei Huan realized what was happening, and then he was deeply shocked. He hadn't felt it beforehand, so naturally, he had no way to dodge it. Is the gap between a master and an emperor so great?
Seeing Wei Huan's confusion, the Earth Mother smiled and said, "Go chase that rabbit, and you will get the answer."
"What?"
Wei Huan was about to say something when suddenly the world spun around him. The next second he saw himself stepping on black light, flying in the divine realm. He didn't know where he was going, but he was in a hurry. He felt a heavy mood at this moment, as if the sky had fallen.
After a while, "I" suddenly said: "This situation has collapsed. We have no way out. We can only put our lives on the line and wait for Nirvana.
It's a pity that I can't take you away." At this point, the view changed, and the person following him was actually a powerful demon with red skin, black magic patterns, and black horns on his head.
Seeing this, Wei Huan suddenly realized that this was the "big guy".
Then I am only in the memory of Si Linghuan?
So this is what the Earth Mother meant when she told me to "chase the rabbit"? To follow my memory?
So Wei Huan stopped struggling and let himself walk in this new memory...
Si Linghuan said: "You have a heavy responsibility. Even if it is difficult, you must strive to survive. If there is a chance, you and I can still see each other in the future. If not, reincarnation will always reunite you and me."
"Master..." The big man choked up, and finally stopped chasing after the dead soul. He stopped where he was and looked over hesitantly. He seemed to be trembling with sadness. He said, "I will never forget your trust. I will perfect the ancient divine body cultivation method. Even if it takes a thousand years or a hundred years, I will definitely do it. Only when I do it, can I face the master again."
Dead Soul Huan's eyes were red, he nodded, and said softly, "Go."
"Um."
Dead Spirit Huan looked at the back of the man who finally turned around with difficulty and then left resolutely. He sighed deeply and turned away.
He flew in the divine realm for a very long time, until at some point, the object he had been holding in his hand emitted a scorching heat, and the Deathly Huan stopped.
Then he solemnly took out something from his spiritual altar.
The object looked like a pile of gravel, loose and soft, flowing all the time, but gathering together without dispersing. Spread out in the palm of the hand, it looked alive.
Wei Huan felt the breath from above and was greatly shocked.
Isn’t this the breath of Mother Earth?
After the Earth Mother's body was shattered, the last bunch of sand and gravel carried by her true spirit is the root of all things and has countless wonderful uses. It is said that it has the power to create the Great Emperor.
The Earth Mother had unexpectedly handed over her imperial authority to Si Ling Huan. Imperial authority is the essence of the Origin. By this time, the Earth Mother should have been seriously injured, right? Yet, she gave the Origin to Si Ling Huan. No wonder, after a million years, her injuries not only didn't heal, but actually got worse.
But what is this Dead Soul Huan going to do by taking away such an important thing?
After sensing the abnormal temperature in the palm of his hand, Si Linghuan was obviously sure that it was here, and he actually threw out the Breath of Mother Earth.
After the breath of Mother Earth was thrown out, it quickly expanded and turned into an extremely huge golden net, and then merged into this space.
Si Linghuan didn't know what he was doing. He lingered here for a long time without leaving. Finally, he chose a place to sit cross-legged, practicing his skills and sending streams of energy into the void.
After a long time, the Dead Spirit Huan gathered all these energies together at the same time, and suddenly the area that had just emitted the power of the emperor no longer felt anything.
However, not only was the emperor's power gone, but even the laws could not be retained.
When Wei Huan saw this, he was suddenly shocked and immediately realized something.
At the same time, after doing all this, Si Linghuan still did not stop his actions.
He hesitated for a moment, opened his own world of the dead, and took out two corpses from it.
They turned out to be two middle-level gods, Huang Quan and Ye Huo. They were placed in a transparent crystal coffin. This coffin should be special. Obviously, the fallen gods would only leave behind their divinity and no corpses, but the gods in this coffin maintained their bodies intact.
When Wei Huan saw these two middle-level gods, he not only thought of the two middle-level godheads that he had seen sink into the source of chaos, but also recalled his memories of these two gods.
They are all comrades-in-arms of Si Linghuan, who have walked together for tens of thousands of years. They once drank and talked about the future, and they also healed each other's wounds and laughed heartily on the battlefields full of raging flames.
However, the crucial battle was ultimately lost.
Man proposes, God disposes. Bad things happen one after another, and all the arrangements go against the original plan, leading to the collapse of the whole thing.
This defeat caused heavy casualties in the Undead army, leaving the Undead with almost no chance of recovery.
At that moment, Si Linghuan was already suspicious of something.
It’s a pity that it’s too late.
After that, Si Ling Huan sent the souls of his fellow tribesmen who died in the battle into reincarnation, began to make preparations for the backup plan, and traveled around the divine realm.
Now borrowing the breath of Mother Earth and placing it here may seem like a strange move, but Wei Huan now sees it clearly.
This is a new foothold set up in the divine realm for the human race after they left the challenging world!
At the beginning, after he became a god, he left the Challenge World. Before he learned the Dao of All Laws, he was unable to return to the Challenge World.
In this vast divine realm, we are like rootless duckweed, facing the wind and waves, and can only barely protect ourselves.
For a long time, life was extremely difficult.
But the turning point of everything was that they were attracted by the power of the middle-level godhead of death and abyss, and then discovered this forbidden area of all laws.
A special area where only ancient gods can move. Once the god of law enters, he will be frozen.
This natural dangerous place is also a natural shelter. Now that I think about it, there are not so many coincidences.
Si Linghuan took out the corpses of his two generals, stroked their coffins, and finally, with red eyes and gritted teeth, he crushed the transparent coffins that protected their bodies.
With the advent of the laws of heaven, the once familiar face was quickly eroded, as if its essence had been sucked away, and it quickly withered and wrinkled, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Dead Soul Huan finally muttered something, then resolutely suppressed the pain in his eyes, placed various restrictions on the two middle-level godheads, threw them upwards, and they flew in opposite directions, and "whoosh" buried in the space without any movement.
At this point, a natural dangerous place was set up.
Low-level gods could not approach, and high-level gods had no interest in it, so they lay dormant quietly in this desolate and empty divine realm. Until a million years later, two figures fled here in a panic while being hunted by the Lord of Flesh and Blood.
Finally found their safe haven.
Wei Huan felt very heavy-hearted from beginning to end, but he was also very grateful that time was on their side.
Mu Zhong’s predecessor as the Lord of Time did indeed possess the terrifying power to change fate and defy fate, making it impossible to guard against him.
I guess it was because he saw in countless timelines that even if they ascended, they could only hide from place to place, so he finally made this arrangement?
If there were no forbidden zone of all laws, Wei Huan couldn't imagine what he would experience?
Without the Forbidden Zone of All Laws, he could only hide here and there. Without the Forbidden Zone of All Laws, he could not find the Huangquan Middle-level Godhead. Without the Forbidden Zone of All Laws, he could not even meet his teacher, and thus could not learn the Dao of All Laws and have the ability to return to the Challenge World at will.
This arrangement is simply a stroke of genius.
Now it seems that it is not inferior to the appearance of the ancient divine body.
After doing all this, Si Linghuan finally left, and Wei Huan’s “journey of memory” also ended.
When Wei Huan came to his senses again, the spiritual clone of Mother Earth had disappeared, and all that was left before him was the huge mountain range that had been lying quietly for millions of years.
Wei Huan cupped his hands, bowed deeply towards the mountains, and said, "I have remembered everything. I will go and bring back the Breath of Mother Earth for you.
It's just that it will take some time to go back and forth this time. Your Majesty, do you need me to use the Samsara Lotus to help you regulate your breathing?"
However, after she finished speaking, the Earth Mother did not respond for a long time. Wei Huan understood what she meant and said simply, "Okay, I'll go get it right away."
If you borrow someone's life-saving item for a million years, it's time to return it.
Although Qiyuan Star no longer has the protection of the Wanfa Forbidden Zone, it is time to leave the cradle and strive for survival.
And now that he has "Reincarnation", at the critical moment, it can completely replace the role of the Breath of Mother Earth.
Wei Huan flew away from the Earth Mother and came before the Three Lords and said, "I am leaving."
Zhushe was about to bare his teeth, but then he realized something and forced himself not to speak.
No one interrupted, so Wei Huan continued, "I'll come back with something that can heal the Earth Mother. We can discuss any issues next time we meet. Saving the Earth Mother is our top priority."
Of course that's the truth, the three ancient gods nodded.
The Titan Ancient God said, "If you need help, just let us know. We won't be going with you this time. The Ancient Gods have made their position clear, and the dispute with the God of Law has resurfaced. I'm worried they might attack the Ancient God Realm, so the three of us will remain here to defend it."
After saying this, the Ancient Titan looked at Mofidi and said, "I don't know how I offended you. For my sake..."
Wei Huan didn't wait for him to finish and said, "Mofidi and I are not enemies. In the past, he even fought against the enemy with me. There are some misunderstandings between us. I just need to explain it to him."
The ancient Titan God breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this matter would be so easy to resolve. Now he really didn't want to have a conflict with Wei Huan.
The same goes for Wei Huan. Since he has decided to form an alliance, he must try his best to facilitate pleasant cooperation between the two parties.
Besides, he had no conflicts with Mofidi, so he didn't know what Mofidi thought.
He flew in front of Mofidi and said simply, "I know you've returned here for the sake of the Ancient Gods. I want to tell you that the method you brought back is incorrect. It's only suitable for human cultivation. But since we can create a technique suitable for human cultivation, we can certainly research techniques suitable for other descendants of the Ancient Gods. Be patient and help the three Overlords. Once the war subsides, I will find a way to solve this problem."
Mofidi scratched his head and nodded.
After comforting Mofidi, Wei Huan collected the two chaos bugs and said goodbye to everyone again.
This time, he didn't delay any longer. He arrived at the Ancient God's Domain and hurried back without even taking a break.
This was because Mother Earth desperately needed the Earth's Exhalation to heal her wounds, and also because he had been away from Kaiyuan Star for too long this time. He was worried about the situation there and missed his old friends.
On the way back, Mu Zhong looked at the World Tree forest that was gradually receding, as well as the descendants of the ancient gods who thrived on the World Tree. Standing beside Wei Huan, he looked ahead at the place where he was about to fly into the divine realm, and said with anticipation, "I'm finally going back. I missed everyone so much."
Wei Huan nodded: "Me too."
After leaving the ancient divine realm, Wei Huan first contacted everyone using the divine network.
The "Divine Network" is a very difficult thing to use. It cannot be used in restricted areas, the ancient divine domain is not connected to the network, and there is even no "signal" in some ruins.
But in the distant places beyond the reach of Wei Huan's spiritual consciousness, the "Divine Network" is the only means of communication.
After contacting everyone, Dou Lin first reported that everything was fine on Qiyuan Star. Although three hundred years was a long time, it was only for mortals. It was not a long time for gods, at least not long enough for them to issue missing person notices to each other.
After becoming gods for a period of time, everyone's concept of time has quietly changed.
Then Xu Qingqiang brought up something: "Boss, we've almost stopped seeing high-level evil beasts in the Chaos Source Gap. I suspect this has something to do with the Chaos Emperor."
When Wei Huan heard this, he tensed up: "Why?"
Xu Qingqiang said, "Before you left, didn't you say you wanted to go to the bottom of the abyss? I've been worried for years, so I went deeper and found that even near the abyss, there are almost no high-level evil beasts. This is very abnormal."
"Why contact the Chaos Emperor?"
"Intuition, but also based on various clues. After all, the Dark Lord is at most a rancher, while the Chaos Emperor is at the top of the food chain, slaughtering and eating meat."
"That's right." Wei Huan felt that Xu Qingqiang's description was very accurate. The rancher's purpose was to graze and raise the animals. They would eat them occasionally but the amount was very limited. The evil beasts had been raised for millions of years, and their numbers had decreased significantly. It must be the Chaos Emperor who took action.
"Also, there's been a lot of unrest around Qiyuan Star lately," Xu Qingqiang continued. "There are more and more spies from the Lord of Light, and the Divine Realm teams we sent out have been frequently attacked, with over a dozen demigods already dead.
Just the day before yesterday, Thor came back seriously injured, and his team was wiped out. If it weren't for his special talent, he would have probably been killed.
Of course, we also killed three lower-level gods and quite a few demigods."
Mu Zhong's voice rang out simultaneously beside him and on the divine network: "The war is about to begin."
Afterwards, Wei Huan's hand was grabbed by Mu Zhong. Wei Huan turned around and saw the worry in Mu Zhong's eyes.
"Don't worry." Wei Huan shook Mu Zhong's hand. "We will win this time."
Wei Huan obtained a new memory of the dead Huan, and understood very well the feeling of seeing a building collapse and being powerless to stop it.
I also understand better what Mu Zhong is worried about.
They have failed once, and there may be the influence of God. Although they have changed this time, they cannot say that they will definitely win.
What if I lose? Do I get another chance? Is there another chance?
This time, it may be a fight of their life and they may really have no way out.
The war did not start suddenly. In fact, they would face wars from gods from all sides every hundred years. What's more, Wei Huan seized the power of the emperor right under the nose of the Lord of Light. With new and old grudges, it was normal for him to regard Qiyuan Star as a thorn in his side and ignite the war around it.
The reason why he didn't start a war directly was probably because he was still unclear about his background. Once he had investigated it clearly, a full-scale war would break out.
We can't let Him continue investigating like this.
Wei Huan immediately made a decision and announced on the Divine Network: "In this battle, we will turn passivity into initiative. We will jointly challenge two strategic points of world construction and proactively launch a war against the Kingdom of Light."
The most excited one was Xu Qingqiang: "Are we going to take the initiative?"
Dou Lin was a little worried: "Once we leave Qiyuan Star, we will lose the geographical advantage."
Mu Zhong was thinking, "Taking the initiative isn't necessarily a bad thing. You have an army of undead, and that's what they're meant to consume in wars like this. Furthermore, starting a war proactively can actually buy time, giving Dou Lin a chance to break through to become the Overlord."
What Mu Zhong didn't say was that once the second overlord appeared in Wei Huan's world, the laws of Wei Huan's world would be perfected, and his undead army would become much stronger.
It is entirely possible to support war by fighting.
Once the Lord of Light investigates thoroughly and realizes that they are now strong on the outside but weak on the inside, he will launch a general attack. Then it will be too late to turn the situation around and it will be difficult to deal with.
In this way, once the direction of the war is determined, all that remains is to discuss the details.
How should this battle be fought? Where should it be fought? Who should be sent to fight? Furthermore, to prevent the enemy from discovering their true identity, it was essential to create false alarms.
In this way, they discussed all the way through the divine network, and when they returned to Qiyuan Star, what Wei Huan saw was a scene of military preparations and raging fire.
Outside the star port, thousands of space warships are suspended like iron-gray mountains.
The hull of the ship was wrapped with flowing divine light bands, blue-purple energy streams were rushing through the gaps in the armor, and the death totem carved on the bow was surrounded by the aura of the dead, swallowing and exhaling thunder condensed from the laws.
The fleet was arranged in a fan-shaped array, with the bows of nearly 10,000 warships pointing simultaneously towards the Kingdom of the Lord of Light, like a steel spear about to pierce through the darkness.
On the flagship at the front, a thousand-meter-tall statue stood holding a corrupted spear. The breath of death emanating from Wei Huan echoed with the energy core of each warship.
The entire fleet was silent as death, yet like a giant beast ready to strike, it could shatter the silence between the stars at any time and let the flames of war spread to the end of the universe.
Humanity is a civilization that has emerged from a long journey of fighting. Challenging the world is engraved with iron and blood in their DNA. In fact, in the more than 300 years since repelling the Lord of Darkness, humanity's combat effectiveness and technological level have risen significantly.
If a knife is sharpened for a long time, it will crave blood.
These nearly thousand years of consecutive victories have made the human warriors fearless of war and even less aware of the crisis that the human race is now facing.
But it doesn’t matter. The battle-hardened lions don’t need to know who their enemies are. As long as they have claws and teeth and know how to pounce and fight, that’s enough.
It is to psychologically despise the enemy.
But at the same time, we must also take the enemy seriously from a tactical perspective.
The top brass of the legion gathered together, and various plans, conventional, bold, and imaginative, countless tactical information gathered. The generals held meetings and discussions continuously to choose the best possible tactics.
The news that Wei Huan was about to return spread throughout Qiyuan Star half a month in advance. Even at the critical moment of preparation for the war, the capital city of Qiyuan Star was decorated with lights and made full preparations to welcome the return of Wei Huan and Mu Zhong.
Three hundred years ago, the Lord of Darkness led the Chaos Beasts to wage war against Qiyuan Star. The war lasted for more than 30 years until the human leader Wei Huan became a master and ended the war completely. He drove the Lord of Darkness back to his lair and the Lord dared not show up again. Qiyuan Star then ushered in a long period of peace and rapid development for three hundred years.
However, in that battle, in order to protect Qiyuan Star, Marshal Mu Zhong interfered with the time of the dominant war as a mid-level god, causing Marshal Mu Zhong to be in critical condition and on the verge of death.
Therefore, leader Wei Huan, who had just led the human race to victory, took Marshal Mu Zhong away to find a way to save him.
Before leaving, Marshal Wei Huan's words were written in the textbook: "When I return, Daqing!"
Now, three hundred years have passed. If it were the ordinary people of Blue Star, three generations would have passed, and the people of that time would have disappeared.
But after humans entered the "Age of Gods", their lifespan increased significantly compared to the "Age of Challenges".
In recent years, the progress of human civilization is not only reflected in war technology, but also in the rapid development of people's livelihood technology.
A myriad of genetic drugs and genetic modifications have given human children the strength of a first-tier challenger from birth. In addition to adults reaching a minimum of a fifth-tier challenger, various military academies are also training a large number of outstanding talents with the goal of cultivating demigods.
Back then, Wei Huan watched as the "Divine Realm Team" was established, which has now become the "Divine Realm Army", with more than 50,000 demigods alone and an unknown number of domain powerhouses.
In addition, there are gods, 28 of whom were born in these three hundred years.
Among them, Agris Frankling successfully seized the throne of a lower-level dark god shortly after the end of the war with the dark gods three hundred years ago and became the "Goddess of Dark Night".
She was once very backward. When the main legions gradually became gods and entered the realm of gods, she was still just a domain powerhouse.
But no one expected that she would later make a comeback and become one of the few law-abiding gods among humans.
The other 27 gods are all ancient gods who have become gods.
The emergence of the ancient divine body cultivation method has greatly changed the constraints of the Heavenly Dao on living beings. Humans no longer need to fight for limited divine power, but can rely on cultivating their own strength to become gods in the flesh.
Another benefit of becoming an Ancient God is that these powers aren't created with the help of Heaven, and therefore Heaven can't interfere. At least some of the accidents that occurred during the wars of the Undead in the previous life should be avoided now.
The "big guy" deserves credit for this.
He really fulfilled his promise and did it.
