Do you think I would possess you?
A single sentence left Jiang Yuan speechless. Anyone would be surprised to have their secret, which they had kept hidden in their hearts, exposed in a single word, and he was no exception.
"Then you underestimate me, Chi You!"
The warlord shook his head with a smile. He looked at the somewhat gloomy sky and said nostalgically, "If I wanted to live, I wouldn't have needed to sacrifice the entire Jiuli army on the last battlefield! Unfortunately, I can't live a life of forgetting my ancestors!"
"Lord of the Army, you didn't intend to possess me?" Jiang Yuan's tone was a little embarrassed, because he hadn't cursed the creatures in the Lord of the Army's tomb because of this.
"have!"
The unexpected answer startled Jiang Yuan, making his heart pound.
"But later I found out you're not suitable! My foundation is already ruined. The target of possession must be at least a divine body, and there are very few people on the entire battlefield who meet this condition! As for you, you carry the only great karma. If I possess you, I can only inherit your talent and ability, but I cannot inherit your most valuable karma. Therefore, possession is useless!" The War Lord laid everything out.
"So what exactly do you want me to do?" Jiang Yuan asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.
The warlord slowly took out a pill, which was exactly the same Thirty-Three Heavens Pill as before, "Forging the Innate Sacred Body!"
"..."
Jiang Yuan remained silent, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
"What, are you afraid that after I forge your innate holy body, I'll turn around and possess you?" The Lord of War seemed to be able to guess what Jiang Yuan was thinking.
"Uh!" Jiang Yuan rubbed his temples, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Do you know the significance of the battlefield?" The warlord suddenly changed the subject.
Jiang Yuan shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know!"
"Destruction!" The warlord's eyes shone with a profound light. "The only meaning of the battlefield is destruction. It will destroy all civilizations, living beings, and even the entire world within it!"
"Really? I don't think the battlefield is that bad right now. It's just that there were a lot of casualties in the early stages, but later it seems to be pushing the development of civilization forward!" Jiang Yuan analyzed the situation objectively.
Do you know about raising poisonous insects?
Jiang Yuan nodded.
"The essence of the battlefield is no different from raising a Gu gu. The purpose is to raise the most powerful Gu gu!" The war master's eyes shot out a cold light, as if he had long felt a deep hatred for this battlefield.
"But what does this have to do with you helping me?" Jiang Yuan never believed that a free lunch would fall from the sky. The Lord of War must have something in mind for helping him forge his Innate Sacred Body.
"Have you ever thought about the people behind the battlefield?!"
Suddenly, a voice transmission from the Lord of War penetrated Jiang Yuan's soul. At the same time, he added, "If you want to truly transcend, you cannot ignore the Gu people behind the battlefield!"
"I……"
Jiang Yuan wanted to speak, but his mouth was glued shut and he couldn't open it.
"Since you haven't grasped the laws, it's best not to criticize that kind of existence. Just listen to me!" The War Lord gestured for Jiang Yuan to listen quietly.
"The battlefield is not as simple as you imagine. There were no fewer than a hundred demigods in the Godfall Battlefield, but they all disappeared without a trace in the end! As for why they disappeared, some people speculated that it was related to the existence behind the battlefield. Because the Gu King's standard was demigods. He didn't care about those who were weaker, and he couldn't control those who were stronger, so he set his sights on demigods!"
"However, the truth that was revealed later was indeed so. There was a human prodigy with exceptional talent who somehow bypassed the hurdle of becoming a demigod and directly reached a realm beyond demigod. On that day, blood flowed in the sky above the battlefield, and as that human disappeared, he left behind a single sentence for the entire battlefield."
After a long pause, the warlord finally said solemnly, "The world is shrouded in dust, and there are no more gods!"
"That wasn't the first person stronger than a demigod to die, nor will he be the last! Since then, most powerful individuals have suppressed their strength in other ways, even changing their cultivation methods, daring not to set foot on the path to godhood set up on the battlefield. But all efforts have yielded little result; many powerful individuals who have reached the demigod realm still disappear without a trace! But all of this is thanks to the Human Emperor..."
After saying this, the warlord glanced at the sky and then transmitted his voice again, but Jiang Yuan heard only a strange electrical sound. He quickly shook his head in response.
The warlord noticed Jiang Yuan's movements. He seemed to have guessed something and asked, "Can't you hear me?"
Jiang Yuan nodded.
"The rules of this battlefield are as insidious as ever!" The warlord was not surprised, and then he brought up another matter, "As for you, that's what I want to talk to you about today!"
"call!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt his mouth being opened, and he was able to make sounds from his throat.
"Lord of the Army, what exactly do you want to do?" Jiang Yuan became increasingly uneasy, as if he had been drawn into a huge vortex.
"I'll help you bypass the path to godhood!" the Lord of War said, enunciating each word clearly.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
If you had to describe Jiang Yuan's current state in one sentence, it would be utter bewilderment. He still remembered that before entering the Tomb of the War Lord, Tianlong and the others confidently claimed that the path to godhood was hidden there. He never expected that he would now have to actively avoid the path to godhood—this was such a reversal!
"Do you know what level I'm at?" The warlord saw Jiang Yuan's silence and knew his concerns.
"I don't know!" Jiang Yuan shook his head.
"Not a god, but better than a god!" The warlord finished speaking with a self-deprecating laugh, and continued, "But unfortunately, I realized it too late. My physical body is an acquired holy body, and even if I am better than a god, I cannot save the battlefield from ending!"
"You mean, you also bypassed the path to godhood, and ultimately failed?" Jiang Yuan slowly began to understand what the Lord of War was saying, because he knew that these words would become the only hope on the battlefield in the future.
"I can't say any more, and you can't listen either, or it will have terrible consequences!" The warlord's expression was solemn, as if every word he said had been carefully considered.
"I can't even listen to it!" Jiang Yuan said, completely bewildered.
“That’s right. The power of the battlefield rules radiates to every living being on the battlefield. If you know too much, you might even be directly wiped out by the rules once you return to the battlefield!” the War Lord said meaningfully.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
This is absolutely not an exaggeration, because he already had a sense of crisis. He originally thought that the Lord of War had some ulterior motive towards him, which was why he had this misconception. It turns out that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed.
"I'll give you two choices. First, achieve the Innate Sacred Body here; second, enter my tomb, choose a lineage like everyone else, and then proceed with your battlefield trials as usual." The War Lord began to become serious.
"Phew!" Jiang Yuan couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong for a moment, because his understanding of this world was completely blank, and he was simply unable to make a judgment.
"And I need to remind you that if you choose the path of the Innate Sacred Body, you must put in a hundred times the effort!" the War Lord reminded him again.
"Why?"
"Because the innate sacred body will not help you in the early stages; in fact, it will be a burden!"
