“You’re right. He can indeed return to that Blue Star without enduring the pain of soul shattering and reshaping, but that soul shattering and reshaping is a step he will inevitably have to take in the future. It’s unavoidable! The fact that it’s happening ahead of schedule now is a helpless situation.”
After a long silence, Venerable Lingfeng sighed softly and replied.
Upon hearing this, Hu Miaomiao frowned slightly, but the coldness in her eyes slowly faded.
Although she didn't know why, Hu Miaomiao felt that the old man in front of her wouldn't lie to her in the slightest.
"Heh, aren't you going to tell him about this? Are you so sure he can withstand the pain of soul shattering and reshaping? You know, even we old guys wouldn't dare say we could definitely endure it!"
Lingfeng Venerable sensed the change in Hu Miaomiao's mindset and seemed somewhat pleased, a kind smile returning to his face.
I believe him!
Hu Miaomiao spoke calmly.
Venerable Lingfeng was slightly taken aback, and then felt somewhat helpless.
"But if he can't pull through, I'll hold you accountable!"
But Hu Miaomiao's next words made Lingfeng Venerable's face fall, and he just wanted to curse and even drag Chi Chen over to beat him up.
Judging by the time, they haven't had a long time together on Earth.
What kind of magic does that kid possess that allows him to so quickly seize control of what was once the greatest pride of the divine realm?
"Oh, by the way, your memories...?"
Venerable Lingfeng remained silent for a moment before finally asking.
"Not much has been recovered; there are only some scattered fragments left."
Hu Miaomiao spoke coldly, as if the missing memories were not her own. She seemed indifferent to the many missing memories and did not take the initiative to ask Venerable Lingfeng about herself.
Is that so?
Upon hearing this, Venerable Lingfeng did not inquire further. He could tell that Hu Miaomiao did not want to know more about her past.
In Lingfeng Venerable's view, this was a good thing for the time being, so he chose not to say anything more.
After chatting casually with Hu Miaomiao for a few minutes, Venerable Lingfeng told Hu Miaomiao to go and rest as well.
Not long after Hu Miaomiao stepped out of the room, Venerable Lingfeng heard Chi Chen's barely audible question.
"This kid..."
A vein bulged on Venerable Lingfeng's forehead, and his hands clenched into fists, but he ultimately resisted the urge to rush out and beat Chi Chen up.
"Sigh, time is running out! Letting him undergo the soul-shattering and reshaping process now is risky, but we really don't have much time to wait!"
When only one person remained in the room, Venerable Lingfeng let out a long sigh, his face full of sorrow, his previous calm and composed demeanor gone.
...
The next day, outside Shenyuan City.
"Isn't that Venerable Lingfeng too stingy? He won't even help with this little thing?"
Chi Chen held a map, muttering to himself.
This morning, Chi Chen excitedly ran to Venerable Lingfeng, hoping he could do him a small favor. He wanted someone to take him on a journey, and with a wave of his hand, he could kill some evil shadows or divine beings to help him advance to the Star Radiance Realm. However, the old man refused without hesitation.
He simply gave Chi Chen a map of the area surrounding Shenyuan City and told him to choose a place he could handle and figure out a solution.
This immediately made Chi Chen so angry that he was jumping up and down. You are a super big shot, after all. Although there aren't many people in the city, there are some minor big shots. You can just call one of them and the problem will be solved.
Why can't you even help with this small favor?
Isn't this just being stingy?
Then Chi Chen thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't offended that old man yesterday.
Finally, Chi Chen glanced at Hu Miaomiao and realized where the problem lay.
"Hmph, I'd be doing a disservice to your stingy self if I didn't actually win Hu Miaomiao over!"
As Chi Chen followed the map, he thought bitterly to himself.
Beside her, Hu Miaomiao seemed to have noticed something and glanced at Chi Chen, whose expression had suddenly turned somewhat resentful.
"What's wrong? Is something approaching?"
Hu Miaomiao asked.
"Uh, no, no!"
Chi Chen was taken aback, wondering when this girl had become so perceptive, but there was absolutely no way Chi Chen would say what was on his mind.
Otherwise, he might face the fate of having his head smashed open with a spiked club.
...
Meanwhile, Chi Chen was thinking about how to provoke Venerable Lingfeng in the future.
On the other side, in a city about five days' journey from Shenyuan City.
Lucifer sat upright in a large chair, looking intently at an ancient book in his hands.
"There really is such a place? The realm of gods? A divine realm?! Disaster!"
After a long while, Lucifer put down the book in his hand, his eyes slightly dazed.
Having spent so many days in this realm of gods, Lucifer has finally adapted to the situation here. This city is the place Lucifer chose to settle down. The alien beings in the city were all wiped out by Lucifer on his first night here.
Although Lucifer had touched the threshold of the divine realm, he was not yet a god. Without the heaven-defying abilities of Chi Chen, Lucifer could not directly absorb the creative matter. He could only watch helplessly as the creative matter that gave him the feeling of excitement was extracted from the bodies of the god-realm mutants he had killed, and then returned to the world.
The nutritional value of the soul beasts in the God Realm was only a drop in the ocean for Lucifer, barely enough to sustain his basic needs. Over this period of time, Lucifer, an outsider to the God Realm, could feel his soul body gradually weakening due to the changes in the rules of heaven and earth.
Lucifer could clearly sense that the creative matter could enhance his soul, but he couldn't absorb it. He could only watch helplessly as the creative matter disappeared before his eyes time and time again, and he was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Therefore, Lucifer had no good way to deal with his continuous weakening.
During this time, Lucifer also stopped wandering around the realm of gods. Firstly, he was afraid of provoking an insurmountable being again. Secondly, Lucifer discovered that reducing his movements could slow down the weakening of his soul. Thirdly, Lucifer needed to understand what this unfamiliar world was all about.
Therefore, during this time, Lucifer has been reading books about the divine realm in this city called Qifeng City. Now, Lucifer has a general understanding of the divine realm.
But the more Lucifer learned, the more horrified he became, especially when he saw the notes left by the former city lord of Qifeng City, his shock reached an unparalleled level.
"Even gods cannot avoid death?"
At this moment, Lucifer felt a sense of despair. Although the notes did not contain much information about the cataclysm in the divine realm, and even stopped abruptly at the crucial part, Lucifer knew that it was at that time that the city lord of Qifeng City also became a mutant.
But what Lucifer learned from those few words was enough to shock him. Even the true gods could not stop the catastrophe from coming. So what about him, who had just touched the threshold of the gods?
Lucifer knew that the cataclysm in the divine realm was not over yet. Lucifer was also very clever, and he could guess that the anomaly on Blue Star was a continuation of the cataclysm in the divine realm. Therefore, both the divine realm and Blue Star were already under a huge shadow.
At this moment, even Lucifer couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. Would he be able to survive when the next cataclysm came?
Or will I become one of those walking corpses, just like the other aberrant gods I killed?
He had been plotting for Lucifer for nearly a century, and this was the result he got in the end. How could he accept this?
"No, I, Lucifer, am the strongest fallen seraph, and the only fallen seraph about to step into the realm of gods. I will not end up like that piece of trash, dying and vanishing!"
A moment later, Lucifer shook off his dejection. He was not a fickle person, otherwise he would not have the strength he had today.
"The forbidden land of the gods! No matter where it is, it seems I have to go there!"
Lucifer looked at the book in his hand again. On one page, a place was described in just a few words. But from the city lord's notes, Lucifer knew that it was the forbidden land of the divine realm, where some unmutated seeds of fire had been preserved for the divine realm.
Perhaps that forbidden land of the gods holds the opportunity for me to advance to the divine realm, and also the way for me to return to Earth!
Unlike Chi Chen, Lucifer had no concept of a hometown or anyone waiting for him. He wanted to return to Blue Star simply because he knew that he could not completely become emperor in the God Realm.
Only one chapter today, but I'll be writing 10,000 tomorrow. As I said, even Jesus couldn't save me!
