As it turned out, the situation was indeed much worse than Lu Henge had imagined.
The immortal realm is now practically barren.
The once supreme immortal energy has vanished completely, leaving not a trace. Almost all the immortals who relied on it for cultivation are dead, and their corpses are everywhere.
These once high and mighty immortals no longer even have the chance to be reincarnated.
Because the Guixu Gate of Kunlun Ruins extracts the most primordial immortal energy and power from their bodies, and this power is closely connected to their physical body and soul, making it far more important than flesh and blood.
When these things are forcibly removed, any means seem powerless.
They don't even have the chance to separate a wisp of their soul for reincarnation or to possess another body for rebirth.
The celestial realm of today can no longer be considered a celestial realm.
It's more terrifying than the underworld.
It is more terrifying than the eighteen levels of hell.
The silence that dissipates in the wind is more chilling than the dying sobs by the roadside.
"In just a few hundred years, I never imagined that the Immortal Realm would become like this."
Lu Henge sighed.
Lu Henge had actually anticipated this, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon. Regarding the current state of the Immortal Realm, Lu Henge didn't show much sadness, only some感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and reflection).
Meng Po said softly, "It's normal. After the sky collapses again and the world begins to recover from the Guixu Pass of Kunlun Ruins, everything in this world will slowly cease to exist until it disappears completely."
Why?
Lu Henge had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't very sure.
Meng Po explained, "You probably already know that all the power in this world comes from that world. Some people have secretly used certain methods to extract the power of that technological world and bring it here."
"Only in this way can the secrets hidden in that technological world be kept secret for generations to come."
"Now, this secret can no longer be kept."
“Strictly speaking, all the power in this cultivation world we live in is stolen. We cultivators are just thieves. Now that the power has been returned to its rightful owner, we will face the strongest backlash.”
Backlash?
Lu Henge thought for a moment and then understood.
Here's a very simple example.
You have one hundred taels of silver. While walking down the street, a thief steals it. You don't realize you've been robbed at the time, but only find out some time later. Out of anger, you return to search for the thief.
Logically speaking...
Finding the thief is not easy.
after all.
A while has passed, and a thief who steals money can't just stand there waiting for you to come back to him.
But you couldn't swallow your anger and were determined to find the thief who stole your money. After some time, through your efforts, you actually found the thief.
So here's the question.
What will you do next?
The answer is simple.
Get your money back.
Not only that.
You'll also beat this thief up.
The world Lu Henge is in now is going through this phase. The technologically advanced world not only wants to take back its power, but also wants to beat this world up.
The fate of these immortals is the best proof.
The fate of the Immortal Realm is not the end, but only the beginning. Next, countless small worlds will be drained, and even the extremely distant Ancient Realm will not escape the same fate.
This moment.
Lu Henge understood.
Why is it that even though he has turned Taoism upside down, even created a huge mess, the Taoist deities are only focused on their own breakthroughs and completely disregard the lives of their disciples?
Because the Taoist deities also knew that their time was running out.
If they don't seize the opportunity to break through and become progenitors, then they basically have no hope of becoming progenitors, and even their own power will be gradually drained by the Kunlun Ruins and the Guixu Pass.
There is only one way to get out of this predicament.
Become the progenitor!
Pass through the Guixu Pass and go to that world!
But to be honest.
Doing so carries significant risks.
Because if an ancestor-level being goes to that world through the Guixu Pass, the world will of that world will immediately notice it. The world will of that world has always disliked cultivators, and will suppress them at best, and annihilate them at worst.
Some may wonder, shouldn't the progenitor be the strongest being in the world? Could he really be wiped out?
Theoretically speaking.
The progenitor was indeed the strongest.
The problem is that all cultivators' power comes from that world, and the world's will, being ancient, has the power to mobilize all world power.
It cannot kill the progenitor directly, but it can gradually drain the power from the progenitor's body.
unless......
The power you cultivate does not belong to that world.
Even cultivators like the Taoist Celestial Venerables, who become progenitors, still need to worry about this issue: will their sudden appearance provoke the world's will to be resentful?
certainly.
Lu Henge also needs to worry about this issue.
If Lu Henge could become the progenitor and go to that world through the Guixu Pass, the first problem Lu Henge would face would be how to confront the world's will.
Concealing your presence is useless.
In the face of the world's will, any means of concealing one's cultivation level are utterly laughable.
"Your current task is to become the progenitor as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about anything else. Once you are qualified to enter the Guixu Pass and go to that world, Di Xin and I will arrange other things for you."
