Chapter 503: The Ruler of Exchange
At this moment, Xia Yu pushed the door open and walked in. She was obviously just a demigod, but when she appeared, Xu Qingqiang immediately recovered from his loss of control. The humus arm behind him suddenly retracted, and the chaotic patterns imprinted on it were also hidden.
It's like a student seeing his teacher.
People with mental illness may also have this reaction when they see a psychiatrist.
"You should take your medicine." Xia Yu frowned. Divine power transformed into a pair of gentle hands, entering Xu Qingqiang's brain. While removing the power that was affecting him, she said, "You absorbed too much this time, and the interval between treatments was too long. If you don't want to become the next Chaos Emperor, you'd better do as I say."
Xu Qingqiang calmed down considerably and answered clearly, "If I can become a Great Emperor, even going crazy wouldn't be bad."
Xia Yu was so angry that he increased his strength, and a piece of chaotic residue was violently torn off from Xu Qingqiang's consciousness. Xu Qingqiang covered his head in pain.
Just as Xia Yu was about to say something, Xu Qingqiang suddenly spoke up, "I've been thinking lately that maybe I shouldn't have resisted the laws of life. If I had made the right choice from the beginning, I'd be a Master now. Not only would I have inherited all my memories, but I'd also be able to truly help in this battle instead of killing those insignificant minions."
Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "There's nothing to regret. Life is life, and Xu Qingqiang is Xu Qingqiang. You like smoking, are belligerent, and act like a madman, but you're loyal and passionate. If you've forgotten, I can remind you that it was you who stayed by the boss's side, found us, and built Qiyuan Star, the home of the human race.
At that time, you were not the master of life, you were even just a lower-level god."
Xia Yu looked into Xu Qingqiang's eyes, combing his soul more fluently and quickly, and at the same time comforted him, "You branded the Chaos Lines on the Humus Arm. I fully support you because you have a brilliant soul and strong willpower. You may be able to find a new path.
You and the boss are the same kind of people. You never stick to a framework, and now is the time to break the framework.
Boss, you and I will both become variables in our destiny."
Hammer, standing by, seemed to be hearing this for the first time. He looked stunned, then said in astonishment, "That's right. The Chaos Emperor is pulling at every living being with the thread of fate. Adding variables increases our chances of winning."
Xu Qingqiang was silent for two seconds, then asked uncertainly, "Are you trying to comfort me? Or is this really the case? I didn't think that much at first. I just wanted to become stronger."
Xia Yu was amused by Xu Qingqiang's honesty. She withdrew her divine power and looked at the calmer Xu Qingqiang. "The God of Luck is on our side. Your experience speaks for itself. Perseverance will pay off. Also, I sense a slight fluctuation in your aura. Is it time for an upgrade?"
"What level should I upgrade?" Xu Qingqiang scratched his head. "The reason I'm upset is that I still can't comprehend the seventh law of the abyss. It's still too early for me to become a superior god."
Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds, and finally said speechlessly: "Your ancient divine body is about to be upgraded."
Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows and was stunned.
Xia Yu nodded: "Yes, after the war, you used the blood of the enemy to water your humus arm, and the energy filled your body. This uncontrollable feeling is not just about going crazy, it may also be because your ancient divine body is about to break through."
Xu Qingqiang hissed and cursed, "Fuck! I thought I was like Dou Lin and the others, with a limit to my Ancient Divine Body cultivation and could only advance by relying on the God of Laws. Turns out I'm following the boss's path?"
After saying this, Xu Qingqiang's waist and legs no longer hurt, and all the self-doubts in his mind were thrown into the trash can.
He never expected that he would be able to break through the ancient god body first.
Because of preconceived notions, he had not paid attention to the cultivation of the ancient god body for some time. Now that he was reminded, he entered his own ancient god world and felt it carefully, and found that the world was evolving on its own. This was the rhythm of "small success"!
The combat power of the Ancient God Body can reach the main god level after a small success. Although it is still early for him to become a master, Xu Qingqiang is practicing both physical and magical skills. The Ancient God Body is originally inclined to physical combat. When he encounters the Abyss Law God who also mainly fights with physical bodies, Xu Qingqiang is destined to become a killing god on the battlefield, the most powerful and terrifying existence among single soldiers!
When Xu Qingqiang came back to his senses, he was grinning from ear to ear. He then slapped his head and muttered, "Why didn't I feel anything when I wasn't reminded? I can't hold it in any longer. Haha, I need to find a place to advance!"
Xu Qingqiang ran away while talking, leaving Xia Yu and Chui Ge in the room.
At this time, Qi Jialu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, walked in from the doorway, looked puzzledly at the empty room, and asked, "Where is Xu Qingqiang?"
However, Xia Yu turned around but didn't look particularly happy. She said to Qi Jialu, "Sister Qi, Brother Qiang has been deeply affected by the Chaos. He has absorbed so much Chaos power that he can't even perceive his own condition."
Qi Jialu's brows furrowed sharply. "Is it that serious? Is there any way? I've already told Marshal Mu, and he said he'd wait for the boss to come back and try to purify the polluted soul, but the boss just came back and left again."
Xia Yu soothed the nervous Qi Jialu and said, "Brother Qiang has gone to advance to the Ancient Divine Body. The Ancient Divine Body will be more tolerant after advancement. The situation is not yet to the point where we are worried. However, if it is advanced in this polluted state, it is very likely that the pollution will become more stubborn and difficult to remove."
Qi Jialu bit her lip and sighed after a few seconds. "There's no other way now. The war is the most important thing right now. I think he would make the same choice here, right?"
"It's not that there's no way." Xia Yu said, "The Life Master is capable of solving any pollution problem."
"But he has given up..."
"No, it's another master."
Qi Jialu reacted and her eyes widened: "You mean orange juice?"
Xia Yu nodded. "Orange Juice was born not long ago, but he doesn't act like a child. I went to see him, and the power of the abyss appeared in him, but his memories are stuck in a million years ago. The rotting memories are affecting his current body. If he doesn't recover his memories quickly, he will soon die in his memories."
This was the first time the two of them heard the news. Even Thor opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect that such things would happen at the same time as the war.
He was rarely anxious to speak, but Qi Jialu spoke even earlier.
"Now? Is Orange Juice okay?"
Xia Yu nodded: "That's why I came a little late. The boss gave me Orange Juice's reincarnation memory, and I just came back from him.
Now it all depends on what Orange Juice, who has regained his memory, chooses. If he decides to embark on the path of becoming the master of life, then Brother Qiang will be saved."
Qi Jialu breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again: "Now that Orange Juice has recovered his memory, the Abyss system must be his first choice."
"No, you're wrong." Xia Yu shook his head firmly. "The big guy voluntarily gave up the Law of the Abyss. Even reincarnation couldn't completely erase such painful memories, so he subconsciously gave up the Law of the Abyss and was picked up by life in the cycle of reincarnation." At this point, Xia Yu suddenly laughed. "I don't know what these two masters experienced in reincarnation, but it's obvious that neither of them liked their own path and was attracted to the other's."
Qi Jialu: “…”
Hammer: “…”
Suddenly it has a very vivid picture.
Having said that, it seems that the situation is not so unsolvable.
Qi Jialu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The bosses are busy with important matters. It's great that we can handle these things on our own. I plan to go see Orange Juice now. Oh, nothing special, I'm just happy to know that my old companions have returned."
"I'm going too." It was rare for Thor to speak, but the two women still subconsciously ignored his presence.
Thor is already a lower-level god, and the people on whom his talents can take effect have also risen to the level of lower-level gods.
Wei Huan called Hammer Brother's talent "non-existence", which is the same effect created by Mother Earth when she activates the Breath of Mother Earth.
Perhaps by chance, Thor possessed a ray of the power of Mother Earth's Breath in his body, giving him this confusing but enviable talent.
Xia Yu nodded: "Let's go together."
"Yeah." Qi Jialu walked side by side with her. Both of them were beautiful women with gorgeous and aggressive looks. Wherever they walked seemed to be filled with the fragrance of roses.
Hammer was a few steps behind and heard their conversation.
"You've been a demigod for a long time. When will you achieve godhood?"
"Maybe it will be okay in this war."
"Are you talking about trying to seize godhood?"
"That holy god is hiding very deeply. Marshal Dou and Brother Qiang have both tried to help me look for him, but they haven't found any trace of him."
"You can consider the ancient divine body becoming a god."
"I've considered it, but unfortunately I don't have the talent. I can only wait and see if I can level up after this war. If not..."
"Don't worry, we will win."
Two beautiful female gods appeared in a small building in the Liu family compound. The baby room on the second floor was decorated warmly and beautifully. Wind chimes, rocking horses, and stickers on the wall made the room full of childlike fun, showing that the owner of the house was looking forward to the arrival of the child.
A woman with ordinary looks but gentle temperament was holding a swaddled baby in her arms and shedding tears silently.
The woman's husband was by her side, looking at the baby in his wife's arms with a complicated expression.
As for the baby, his face, which had been covered with ulcers and decay, was recovering visibly, but his eyes gradually lost the expression that a child should have during this process.
When Xia Yu, Qi Jialu and Chui Ge came over, they saw the three members of the family looking at each other in silence.
"Alas." Some pain is unavoidable. When Xia Yu took the baby, she looked at the baby, who also looked at her with clear eyes, and said, "He is a great being born after experiencing disasters. After 18 lifetimes, he returned to the throne of God. You should be happy for him."
The man sighed deeply and hugged his wife tightly as she cried out "Wow". While he was trying to calm down his own sadness, he also had to comfort his devastated lover.
Then, suppressing the grief of separation, he looked at the child in Xia Yu's arms and asked hesitantly, "Will we ever be able to... see him again?"
Xia Yu shook his head, not wanting to lie. "The situation is tense now, and the gods are returning to their positions. If fate allows, you will naturally know everything after the war is over."
The man nodded, and even the woman, suppressing the grief of separation, choked out a sob and said, "I know that the war has lasted for a million years until now. If we lose, how can we talk about seeing each other again? Please, God, take good care of him. He is still a child."
Is that a child? A baby with 18 lifetimes of memories is almost an old monster.
Xia Yu forced herself to hold back her complaints and looked at Liu Chengzhi, she saw sadness in Liu Chengzhi's eyes, and then in her surprised eyes, Liu Chengzhi raised his baby hand that was as small as a steamed bun, a force of law condensed in it, and then the little hand unfolded, and the power of life was released from the palm of his hand.
Wherever the power of life reaches, people's pain dissipates, seeds sprout, flowers bloom, and a flock of birds fly to the big tree outside the window, chirping.
Qi Jialu opened her eyes wide in surprise. It had only been a short while, and Liu Chengzhi had already reached the domain level.
A domain-level being who was only born three days ago will awaken his power even faster in the future.
"How amazing." Qi Jialu was happy that Liu Chengzhi had returned, and was also happy that Xu Qingqiang had been saved.
Unexpectedly, the two masters had actually exchanged their rules.
However, Xia Yu raised her head and grasped the bun-like white and tender little hand, interrupting him and saying, "This body is too fragile. Even if you are the master of life, you cannot overuse your strength, or your body will collapse."
Suddenly, the power of the law of life dissipated. Liu Chengzhi blinked, yawned, and fell asleep in seconds.
Only a few people were left looking at each other in bewilderment in this environment filled with birdsong and flowers.
Honestly speaking, after seeing Liu Chengzhi use this move, the young couple's eyes instantly cleared up. It was difficult for them to treat a baby with domain strength as a new baby. After all, even the ancestor of the Liu family who had just passed away was only at the domain level.
Xia Yu nodded to the young couple, then hugged Liu Chengzhi tightly, turned around and stepped into the void. The three gods disappeared in the small building at the same time.
Xia Yu carried Liu Chengzhi back to her home. Qi Jialu, who had walked her all the way back, said, "It's a pity that I'm stained with the aura of the abyss. Orange Juice might have nightmares around me. I can only trouble you and Alfonso."
Xia Yu smiled: "We are all brothers, let's not talk about this. Besides, it's not us who will take care of him. I will find the best team to take care of Orange Juice and apply for training resources for him. I hope we can make it in time."
Qi Jialu nodded. "This will be a war that will affect the entire Divine Realm. The addition of the Emperor class makes the war full of uncertainty. The only thing we can do is to handle these emergencies in the rear so that they have no worries on the battlefield."
"That's right, we'll do our best to do what we should do." Xia Yu carried Liu Chengzhi into the room and said goodbye to Qi Jialu. "Brother Qiang, if there's anything wrong, please contact me immediately."
"good."
Brother Chui silently sent Xia Yu home, and sent Qi Jialu to the place where Xu Qingqiang was in seclusion, and then disappeared on the spot as if he had never existed.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Mu Zhong.
As soon as he appeared, Mu Zhong looked over and smiled: "Brother Chui, what happened?"
Hammer nodded and described everything that had just happened.
Mu Zhong smiled after hearing this and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. It's because everyone is working hard that we've come this far. The war on the front lines won't stop for much longer. The Chaos Emperor won't allow peace to exist. He is using war to sustain himself, so be prepared, a new round of war is about to break out."
"yes!"
After Hammer Brother left, Mu Zhong stood up from his seat and walked to the glass window of the chariot. The battlefield was not far ahead, right within his sight.
For three months, he has been in the command vehicle at the forefront of the war, always keeping an eye on the situation on the battlefield ahead.
Although he did not take action, the extreme consumption of energy made him extremely tired. However, when he thought that Wei Huan had successfully come out of seclusion and went to the original star to save the situation, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Sure enough, holding up the sky by oneself and enjoying Wei Huan's protection are two different feelings.
I wonder if Wei Huan, who always silently supports everything, is tired?
Wei Huan is not tired.
Some people are mediocre, some are indolent, some are top students and some are poor students. Wei Huan seems to be a natural leader.
Whenever he feels tired, he will quickly make perfect self-adjustments and then turn the pressure into motivation to become stronger, thus achieving his current success.
Moreover, when the crisis came, Wei Huan could not think too much about "more and less" or "tiredness". He just simply solved some problems and ran on the road. In this process, he had time to pour himself a cup of fragrant tea, and while drinking the tea, he studied the star map in front of him.
The "Star Domain Map" is a "divine artifact" that has never appeared before. Even when the Great Emperor Taichu was alive, was on good terms with the Original Goddess, and together they fought against the Great Emperor Hunhun and the Great Emperor Hongmeng, neither side of the battle had ever obtained the "Star Domain Map".
If the Undead had a "star map" a million years ago, perhaps the result would not be what it is now.
So from this point of view, this "star map" was condensed after the Earth Mother was seriously injured, consuming a large amount of origin. I am afraid this is also the reason why the Earth Mother's injuries have become worse over the past million years.
The importance of the "Star Map" has now become fully apparent. Wei Huan can clearly see the star distribution of the entire divine realm and the locations of all known gods, especially when they are on the planet's continent. As long as there is a grain of sand of Mother Earth on the planet, it is equivalent to lighting up the light of the surrounding star field. Once a god enters, he will appear on the map.
However, most of the space in the divine realm is void, and there may be some planets and continents that are not contaminated by the Earth Mother's body. These become blind spots, and Wei Huan may need to take the sand and gravel of the Earth Mother's body to manually "open the map."
Of course, it is enough now. At least at present, I am the only one who has mastered the map, and the enemy's whereabouts and strategic deployment can be seen almost clearly.
Just ahead of Wei Huan's route, there was a place with a flashing portal, indicating that the Legion of Light was staying there, or stationed there, perhaps at a military base.
Wei Huan paid special attention and slowed down the speed of the Baby Bus when passing by. His spiritual sense swept towards the location on the map.
At first glance, the space seemed empty and void, but Wei Huan's persistent search soon revealed something unusual.
The spiritual consciousness is refracted here, like a mirror, even the light is hidden, so a large area of space here seems invisible.
But when Wei Huan realized what these were, his dominant consciousness easily penetrated the camouflaging film and then saw the truth.
This is the ruins of a divine kingdom in the shape of a continent.
There is a faint power of law flowing above it. In the past, it should have been the kingdom of a god of light.
Now it has been transformed into a huge "spaceship", with more than 10 billion members of the Light Clan gathered on it, floating towards this side quietly.
The speed is not fast, but the emphasis is on concealment.
The space above is very large and has been operated for a long time. Behind the large number of light warriors, there are also many civilian families living in this world.
Wei Huan's expression became serious. He spoke to Mu Zhong through the cycle of reincarnation, saying, "The Lord of Light has been keeping his troops inactive for these years. I thought he was seriously injured in the battle in the Ancient God's Domain and needed to recuperate.
I also wondered if our defenses were effective, which is why we never gave the Lord of Light a chance to get close.
In fact, He had already made arrangements here. Once the army is dispatched, a master-level warrior can bring a million elite soldiers to the Qiyuan Star Region in just one day.
In other words, the strength displayed by the Legion of Light on the front line and their headquarters in the rear are only part of it. Another part is hidden and plays a decisive role at the critical moment.
"I can wipe out a mere 10 billion relatives in a flash." Wei Huan said.
Mu Zhong laughed and said, "But you won't, because that would alert the enemy."
"Yes, this direction leads to the original planet where the Lord of Light resides. Once this place is destroyed, it will attract His attention."
"Go ahead. I'll arrange for people to verify the accuracy of the star map and make the appropriate arrangements."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
After Wei Huan finished speaking, his spiritual sense was quickly withdrawn from the entire continent it covered. The baby bus turned into a stream of light and drove away in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Wei Huan heard Mu Zhong give an order and arranged for Dou Lin to investigate the authenticity of every abnormal point on the map.
"...You're fast, this job is perfect for you. Go quickly and come back quickly. We still need you here..."
Wei Huan waited for Mu Zhong to finish his orderly arrangements, and when he was free, he said, "Xia Yu stopped me and took away Orange Juice's reincarnation memory. What's the situation now?"
Mu Zhong explained everything he knew from beginning to end, and then said, "...Brother Qiang is about to break through to the minor success stage of the Ancient God Body and reach the level of a Lord God. Adding to this the power of his Abyssal Middle God, his combat power is barely enough to fight against a Lord God.
Orange Juice is still a baby, and his body can't withstand too much force. I can set up a time chain for him, and he will become an adult in no time."
Wei Huan said: "The Chain of Time can accelerate time, but it cannot speed up the understanding of the laws under the accelerated time, and it is useless for the cultivation of the Ancient God Body. But if it only speeds up the growth of the body, it is indeed a good method.
However, although the time you and I have spent in the outside world is short, people in the chain of time do need to spend such a long time alone. You need to confirm this with Orange Juice.
Orange Juice has been lonely for millions of years, and I can't bear to let him go through this again."
