Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1116 Lu Li, the Pupae

boom--

The porcelain cup in Aizen's hand shattered, and the junior sitting in front of him was somewhat frightened, because she had never seen her senior Aizen like this before.

Since joining the Academy of Science and Truth, Aizen has always given people a gentle and refined feeling. No matter who he talks to, he makes people feel like they are in a spring breeze, which has attracted many junior and senior students in the academy.

The junior student's eyes showed that Aizen's expression was no longer as gentle as usual. His heartwarming, sunny smile had disappeared, replaced by a gloomy look and a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Aizen...senpai?"

The junior schoolgirl's voice trembled slightly.

Aizen took a deep breath and smiled again, but to the junior student, the smile seemed too fake. "Sorry, I received some bad news. Let's put today's research project on hold."

"Did...the space give the senior a bad task?"

The junior student asked curiously, but Aizen didn't answer, so she could only leave tactfully.

When no one was around, Aizen looked down at the shattered porcelain cup on the ground, his expression shifting. "Brother Lu... has this been your limit...?"

Since the incident, he has been unable to contact Lu Li, so he can only check his friend list from time to time to check on Lu Li's situation.

Just now, he noticed that a red cross had been put on Lu Li's profile picture.

Anyone who frequents social media knows that when a friend's avatar turns gray, it means the other person is unreachable in the mission world. The avatar will light up again once the other person returns to the space.

Once an X is marked on his avatar, it means that he has lost contact with the End Space, which usually means death.

If the explorer's mark is destroyed, the space's records will mark the explorer with an X. Either Lu Li, like a violator giant, has found a way to destroy the space's control mark, or he is already dead.

Aizen didn't think Lu Li would betray the space, but if he encountered an attack that could destroy the space mark, the chances of Lu Li surviving were extremely slim.

"Brother Lu..."

Aizen's eyes were gloomy. He was no ordinary person. At this moment, his first feeling was not the grief of losing his friend, but that he had already figured out how to take revenge.

He will become stronger and personally uncover the truth, making those who killed Brother Lu pay the price.

…………

Similar situations also occur within the End Space.

Some people who used to be familiar with Lu Li saw that Lu Li's profile picture had been crossed out, and some sighed and some broke down.

The explorers who had once been overwhelmed by Lu Li were deeply saddened upon learning of his death. Although they knew they had their day in the sun, they also lamented the passing of this powerful figure from the End Space.

As intelligence gradually spread, many people learned some of the inside stories behind the events that shook the World Sea. Although ordinary explorers could not know the truth, they all knew that the No. 1 native world within the World Sea had been destroyed.

Those explorers who failed to return were all adventurers in the original world No. 1, and Lu Li was just one of them.

In reality, people from all the different realms have lost their lives on the Divine Martial Continent, and those who receive invitations and are willing to choose to explore the Divine Martial Continent are generally the elite of the elite.

Therefore, after this battle, the meso-generation of the nine spaces suffered a severe blow, and many promising talents who had the potential to reach the peak of the ninth rank died inexplicably on the Divine Martial Continent.

Not everyone had the protection of the Grand Elder like Lu Li did, who promptly led him to the protective array of Tianyuan. Many unlucky souls were still traveling when they were directly killed by the aftershocks.

Others, though within the Supreme Immortal Sect, perished when the sect's grand formation was ultimately broken.

Even Tianyuan, in the end, lost more than 90% of its disciples due to Qingqiu's forbidden finger strike, and its former prosperity was gone.

After that battle, six of the most powerful immortal sects on the Divine Martial Continent were directly expelled, and the remaining three suffered heavy casualties. On the contrary, Martial God Mountain, which was initially expelled, was found by Lu Shuiliu to have suffered relatively few casualties.

When the Blood Emperor returned to Tianyuan to rebuild the empire, he sensed something while releasing the Blood River to collect the remains. He used his unparalleled power to stimulate life and saw a figure crawling out of the Blood River. It was none other than Lu Gaoge, the Great Elder of Martial God Mountain.

Lu Gaoge thanked Emperor Yuanxue for saving his life, but Emperor Yuanxue simply nodded and sent him away.

Lu Shuiliu relocated Martial God Mountain to a more stable location on the continent, only to see a fat figure rushing towards her from the mountain. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the creature, then grabbed the fat cat by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up.

"Meow!!"

The fat cat meowed repeatedly, as if asking something.

Lu Shuiliu, with his profound understanding, instantly grasped the creature's meaning and shook his head with a sigh, "He was blown to pieces in the outer heavens, his fate unknown."

After saying that, she saw the fat cat in her hand struggle, as if it had gone mad, which made her feel even more ashamed.

Since the ancient war, she has never slackened in her cultivation, but she has only been able to overcome the taboos and has not been able to advance any further.

In the eyes of others, she has achieved the greatest success, but she herself is not satisfied. If she could be stronger, today's events would not have happened.

She let go and saw the fat cat rush down the mountain like a madman. The disciples of Wushen Mountain around were at a loss, not knowing whether to stop Ah Huo or let it go.

"Let it go."

Lu Shuiliu sighed, and after subtly leaving a trace of his soul intent on Ah Huo, he instructed his disciples to clear the way.

She knew that this was Lu Li's pet beast. Before going down the mountain, Lu Li left Ah Huo at the Beast Taming Hall and asked the senior brothers there to guide Ah Huo in his cultivation.

Little did anyone know that this farewell might be forever. Ah Huo ran down the mountain, and no one knew where it was going—whether it was to find its master or to do something else.

Ah Huo was also in a daze. After descending the mountain, it wandered around aimlessly and unknowingly entered a spacetime rift that had not yet been repaired when the continent had just reunited. When it opened its eyes again, it found itself surrounded by the corpses of true dragons.

…………

Time passed quietly, and everything in the ocean of the world continued to operate as usual.

Lu Li, at this moment, was still an unformed primordial spirit.

He didn't know how much time had passed since that battle, or even how long he had been in this place. Every day, he tried to find a way to repair his true spirit and turn it back into a human form.

However, he discovered that the forked, thread-like power remaining in his true spirit was terrifying. No matter how he activated his true spirit, he could not shake it. Only when he was close to the red source beside him and absorbed some of its power could he make those threads sway a little.

But Lu Li couldn't just keep absorbing it recklessly, because he knew that the red source next to him was either Lu Xueqing or Lu Yi. He couldn't cut off his friend's hope of survival just to save himself.

So Lu Li calmed down and quietly observed the residual power left by the shadow inside his body when it attacked him, hoping to use his intelligence to understand the essence of this power and then overcome it.

However, Lu Li was soon disappointed because he found that, perhaps because his true spirit was not complete, his mind was always in a daze and not as sharp as before. Not to mention that the power remaining in his true spirit was of a very high level, and he couldn't understand it at all.

In the end, Lu Li could only calm down and patiently observe his surroundings.

He crawled on the ground like a wriggling slime. After crawling a few meters, he thought for a moment, then turned back and used a portion of his essence to drag the red essence along, continuing to crawl on the ground.

He realized that his perception was almost nonexistent, and since it was pitch black everywhere, if he went out and lost his way, it would be difficult for him to find that red source again.

Furthermore, he had no idea whether this place was safe or not. He could still move around a bit, while the red source had no consciousness or ability to resist.

Although he didn't know what else he could do, he just couldn't abandon the other person. Even if he faced danger, he would use his remaining strength to fight back.

Lu Li crawled on the ground with the red origin, not knowing how long he had crawled, before he realized that he seemed to be in a room. The room was very large, more than 200 meters long and wide, but he didn't know the height.

Judging from the texture of the walls, this appears to be a very ancient building, as its shape is very regular and there are some reliefs. Lu Li can be sure that it is a creation of civilization rather than a natural product.

Lu Li was filled with both joy and worry. He was overjoyed because the World Sea was so vast and the void was the main area. They were lucky enough not to get lost in the void, but were blown into a world by the impact.

Moreover, there are countless worlds within the Ocean of Worlds, and 99% of these worlds are devoid of life. Of the worlds with life, 99% of them lack intelligent life.

However, the building he was in was clearly not something that an ordinary civilization could build. Although his perception was almost zero, he could roughly sense that the building's materials were extraordinary through the touch of his primordial energy. Perhaps there was a prosperous and extraordinary civilization in this world.

If it is a large world with a good cultivation environment, it means that he may be able to heal his injuries faster in a good environment.

However, such a world would also be very dangerous. After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and Lu Li has seen the filth of human hearts since he was a child. He felt that if he and the red source around him were discovered by cultivators, there was a 99% chance that they would not help them, but would instead use them as medicine to refine them.

Therefore, Lu Li felt that he should be extremely cautious in his actions in this world and that it would be best not to be discovered by the intelligent beings here.

The good news was that he sensed a lot of dust in the building, and after walking around, he suspected it was some kind of ancient ruin, uninhabited for many years, and he probably wouldn't encounter any extraordinary beings from this world anytime soon.

After organizing his thoughts, Lu Li began to crawl laboriously on the ground again, carrying the red essence in his mouth. After crawling around once more, he finally reached the exit of the room and cautiously explored the outside.

As he explored, he was surprised to find that the ancient ruins were enormous and seemed to be hidden deep underground, completely devoid of light. So far, he had not found any trace of any living creatures.

Lu Li's current condition is very bad. Every time he crawls on the ground, he has to endure great pain, but he still does not stop exploring.

Moreover, Lu Li's current speed is extremely slow. Each time he moves forward, it takes several hours. He has only visited three or four rooms, but it has taken him several years.

In this state, Lu Li found it difficult to calculate the passage of time. Fortunately, his true spirit had already reached this point, so he did not feel hungry. However, he often felt tired. After all, the pain when he crawled was like being cut by a knife. It was a special power beyond the peak of the ninth rank cutting into his soul, and the pain was indescribable.

But Lu Li could not stop exploring, because he knew that once he stopped, his true spirit might slowly become numb and dormant, and then he would be trapped in this place forever.

Over the years, in his explorations, Lu Li has also tried to send substances from his black origin into that red origin.

At first, the red source didn't react, but after two years, it actually started to slowly absorb his trace amount of black source, which surprised Lu Li.

He realized that if he only absorbed the other party's power, he would soon drain the red source dry, and the other party would be completely dead.

If he can awaken the other person and improve their condition, perhaps he can use a cycle to reunite them and be reborn.

Lu Li had considered using the Blood Crystals; he still had many Blood Crystals left over from Mount Martial God. However, when he tried to access his storage space, he discovered that his storage space had disappeared.

Moreover, he discovered that he no longer had the Pioneer Mark, which was why Lu Li once doubted whether he was actually dead.

Fortunately, he refused to believe that his conscious state was dead and insisted on trying to defy fate to reignite his true spirit and re-coagulate this clump of mush-like origin.

Even the Explorer's Mark was shattered, and the storage space was gone. Naturally, Lu Li's equipment couldn't be saved either. Not to mention ordinary equipment, even his growth-type equipment had all disappeared.

However, Lu Li was in a dazed state at the time, as if he had been possessed. He didn't know whether the equipment had exploded and disappeared or flown to somewhere.

In the past, Lu Li would have been heartbroken if even a single ordinary piece of equipment on him had been destroyed, but now that he had lost all his equipment and was half-dead, he couldn't care less about complaining.

All that can be said is that things have come to this point, and he has to find a way to survive first. As for what he has lost, he will get it back sooner or later.

Lu Li cautiously explored the ruins, hoping to find something valuable left behind by this extraordinary civilization. He fantasized that he might find some ancient divine pill, just one pill would be enough to heal his injuries.

While exploring the cricket pupa, he also spared some of his own essence to nourish the red essence next to him. And so, another ten years passed.
