Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 283 Chapter 282: The Descendant, the Eighth Level of Rebirth
The secular world, Naju.

'call……'

The sky was filled with sand and dust, and was gray. The sun was submerged under dark clouds. There were no birds singing, no insects chirping, and no sign of life around. Only a few exposed weeds were rustling in the wind.

"Cough cough..."

A cough suddenly appeared on the city wall. A figure stood on a high place, his clothes rustling in the strong wind. Looking to the end of the plain, the continuous ruins stretched to the horizon.

"General!"

Guan Shuo, who was guarding the top of the city wall, noticed the person coming at this time, and hurriedly followed a few brothers from Xiahe Village to report to Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan waved his hand and glanced at everyone calmly.

"Thank you for your hard work."

After the fierce battle with the starving ghosts yesterday, many people were exhausted, but for safety reasons, people still had to take turns to stand guard at night to prevent the starving ghosts from attacking again.

Guan Shuo and others were the last group of people to be rotated near dawn.

"Hey, it's not hard. We had a full meal and then took a nap. Finally, it was our turn when it was almost dawn. We are full of energy and spirit." The bald man next to Guan Shuo laughed loudly.

His chest was scratched by the sharp claws of the starving ghosts in the battle yesterday, so he was considered a wounded soldier. He didn't have to keep watch like the others, but he was very excited and insisted on climbing to the top of the city wall with Guan Shuo and others.

Guan Shuo looked helplessly at the brother beside him who had played with him since childhood, and continued: "Laitou is right, we have all rested well."

"General, are we heading to the capital of Luozhou next?"

Lin Beixuan was silent for a moment and shook his head. "Probably not for now. After what happened last night, you must have realized that the deeper we go into Luozhou, the more dangerous it will be. With our current capabilities, we are not able to travel back and forth safely."

"Have any of you ever been to Naju's state capital?"

"General, you must be talking about Quyang, right? I went to this place once when I was young and accompanied my parents to visit relatives." Guan Shuo thought carefully and answered.

As he spoke, he followed Lin Beixuan's example and looked far away, gazing ahead.

"At that time, Luozhou was not like it is now!"

"Although it is not as rich as other states, Luozhou also has its own unique features, with mountains and rivers. Also, because it is a border state of all dynasties, it has trade relations with many foreign countries. You can often see those blue-eyed Shayi people on the streets bringing cattle and sheep to our place to sell."

Guan Shuo's eyes were filled with memories as he said, "I remember there was a market in Quyang City, where many rare treasures, spices, gems, silks... caravans from various states would gather there, and it was very lively."

"But now, it seems that everything is gone!"

During the time he followed Lin Beixuan's team, he gradually figured out what Luozhou is like now, which can almost be described as uninhabited for thousands of miles.

Thinking about it now, it was a wise decision for Gu Yan to lead their entire village into the body of the Bitter River God in time to avoid the first wave of disaster.

After talking with Guan Shuo and others for a while, he heard a loud horn sound coming from behind.

"It's time to go."

Lin Beixuan patted Guan Shuo on the shoulder and slowly walked down the city wall.

A group of people began to gather one after another. The wounded, women and children rode on ox carts together with food and water. The rest of the people continued to train while traveling as usual.

When the God of Xun saw Lin Beixuan coming, he blinked and asked, "What are you going to do next? If you continue walking forward, you will reach the lair of the Xuanhuang hungry ghost."

As the mountain god of Luozhou, Shen Shen knew the terrain of Luozhou better than anyone present.

"You guys, although you are good guys, are not strong enough to deal with the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost. Are you really planning to cause trouble?"

"I'm not crazy yet!"

Lin Beixuan glanced at the God of Xun and said calmly, "Do you know that there is a place in Luozhou called Sheshan?"

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the God of Xun suddenly became stern.

"You actually know this place. It is unknown to the outside world."

The god of Xun raised his eyebrows and stood up while pressing the stone ox's head.

"Come to think of it, Sheshan is not far from here. Why are you asking this?"

"Of course I have my own plans."

Upon hearing this, the God of Xun shrugged his shoulders with a strange expression, but still continued to tell the story about Sheshan.

"Sheshan is the territory of the immortals from Luozhou. There are many spirits in it, and there is also a fox god who specializes in learning Taoism to help people pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, and to get rid of evil spirits. In the past, many people in Luozhou were believers of the immortals in this mountain."

"But that was a thing of the past." The God of Xun crossed his legs and said, "After the earth veins were cut off, the Xuanhuang hungry ghosts started to do evil again, causing a wave of starving ghosts. Sheshan happened to be located not far from the explosion site, so they were the first to be hit."

"At the beginning, the secular gods from all over Luozhou were invited by the fox god of Sheshan to discuss how to deal with the matter of the Xuanhuang hungry ghost. Unfortunately, we didn't reach an agreement at that time, and on the way back, we were plotted against by the hungry ghost and were seriously injured."

"Now that I think about it, if we had listened to the Fox God's advice and worked together to kill the hungry ghost before it became powerful, there wouldn't be so many problems now."

"Some died, some escaped, and the entire Luozhou was disrupted by it."

"When the people are suffering, the gods can't save them, and they lose the source of worship and faith. Now, even I don't know how many secular gods are still alive in Luozhou."

The God of Xun raised his head, sighed, and pointed in a direction.

"If you want to go to Sheshan, go in this direction."

Lin Beixuan looked in the direction of the God of Xun's finger and saw that it was also heading towards the heart of Luozhou, but just a little off.

"Are you going to Sheshan to find the fox fairy ancestor?" The God of Xun seemed to see through Lin Beixuan's thoughts and rolled his big eyes.

"In fact, if you can gather together again the secular gods of Luozhou who were scattered by the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, maybe there is a hope to get rid of the hungry ghost."

Lin Beixuan glanced at the God of Xun and pushed back the other's head that was leaning towards him. How could a dignified mountain god talk in front of people with his head raised like a child?

But you know what, this thought actually popped up in his mind just now.

He wanted to make Luozhou his own territory, and the first thing he had to do was to get rid of these starving ghosts.

But obviously, relying solely on his strength is obviously not enough, and is even far from enough.

The previous plan was to use the situation in Luozhou to train troops and recruit personnel, and by the way, see if there is a chance to compete with the official and the people from Ershengmen for the secret treasure.

Now he already knows that the secret treasure is the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda, but the treasure has turned into fragments and scattered everywhere. It would be extremely difficult to find it. In this case, he has to change the direction slightly.

Now Qingzhou is divided between the Nanyang evil spirit and the Zigu God. Even if he returns after training his troops to resolve the crisis in Anle County, it is not a wise choice for him to face these two powerful enemies.

Although the situation in Luozhou was complicated, it had the best chance. Although his thoughts were seen through by the God of Xun, Lin Beixuan's face did not show any fluctuations.

He called Shen Tingmiao and said a few words in her ear, and the route of the entire team changed.

Seeing this, the God of Xun snorted softly and looked at Lin Beixuan with an expression that said, "I have already seen through your thoughts."

Although Luozhou is now full of starving ghosts, it is still better during the day than at night. Those insignificant starving ghosts and their followers cannot appear in the sun.

Even though the sky was covered by gray clouds, a little sunlight still came through from behind, giving Lin Beixuan's team plenty of breathing time.

'boom! ! ’

The ground was shaking again, as if a giant was walking on the land. The closer the distance was, the more obvious the feeling became.

Fortunately, everyone is used to it, and can calculate the frequency of vibration by just estimating the time.

Along the way, they also encountered several waves of gluttons.

These gluttonous minions are considered to be medium-strength evil ghosts among the starving ghosts. They are one level higher than the foodless hungry minions and their followers, and can move around in a weak sunlight environment.

After experiencing so many cases of starving ghosts, both Lin Beixuan and his team can now deal with them with ease. As long as the scale is not too large, three or two of them can be easily dealt with.

Lin Beixuan's mind sank into the panel. Now his annual coins have reached 100,000 points again.

"Finally, I can upgrade my bloodline fate!"

During this period of time, he had been saving the annual coin reward he had received in order to use it to upgrade the bloodline destiny he was currently wearing.

After upgrading his bloodline's destiny from blue to purple quality, he wore three purple destiny pieces in his casual attire.

"Seven killing days, six deaths, what will happen next..."

Lin Beixuan has always had a special feeling for the three blue fates he has been wearing, and is unwilling to give up the more convenient fate of gods and demons.

He used this fate to establish his mansion. If he rashly changed his fate, it would actually be bad for him. Not to mention that the sudden change in power might cause abnormalities, the fact that he would need to spend a lot of time to adapt again after the power change made him give up the idea.

'It's better to take it slow and steady!'

Lin Beixuan took a deep breath and injected the 100,000-year-old coin into his bloodline’s fate.

[Promotion from Fate - Bloodline (blue) to Fate - Descendant (purple).]

Annual tribute required: 100,000 annual tributes.

Required materials: Dead-eye snake bones, blood-eyed beads, Luoqi blood...】

[It is detected that you already have all the materials and annual coins. Do you confirm the promotion to the fate of bloodline? 】

Lin Beixuan had planned to upgrade his bloodline destiny a long time ago, so he had always been keeping an eye out for the materials needed to upgrade his destiny. Now that he was quite wealthy, he didn't even need to take the initiative to look for them. The materials could be gathered from the things carried by those worldly princes who had accepted Yang Baichuan's bounty and attacked Huangshi Village.

As we all know, Xuanguo players’ favorite things are exploring and stockpiling.

The hoarding here means hoarding in the literal sense. During the exploration, they will store up those strange things they have discovered.

Moreover, they do not have a panel like Lin Beixuan, so many times even if they know that this thing is a treasure, they don’t know how to use it. In the end, they either trade it with the official or keep it for themselves and carry it with them.

Those secular princes who accepted Yang Baichuan's reward naturally would not think that they would fail. In addition, they subconsciously believed that they could be resurrected after death, so they would not deliberately take off the treasures they were carrying.

Therefore, all these things finally benefited Lin Beixuan, providing him with a large amount of materials and treasures.

Seeing that everything was ready, Lin Beixuan deliberately let himself lag behind the entire team, hanging not too far behind.

The purpose of doing this is to avoid certain special changes in your body when your destiny is promoted, which would attract too much attention.

[You have sacrificed materials and successfully upgraded your fate: Bloodline (blue) becomes lineage master (purple).]

[Fate - Descendant Lord (Purple): In the legends of the secular world, there was once a creature called a blood spirit, which specialized in eating human blood and human flesh, worshipped the Lord as the god Luoqi, entered the devil's way, brought disasters, and destroyed all living things. Even if it was killed, it could be reborn with a drop of blood, and its flesh and blood would be reassembled. It would recover blood +70, divinity +100, attract disasters +50, weapon expertise (sickle) +50, and have an additional skill - reverse eight levels of rebirth.]

[Eight levels of reverse life: Yin, Yang, life, death, illusion, flesh and blood, soul, spirit. Eight levels of life. The human body is like a giant wheel. It can transform the innate demon body, the blood of corpses descends, and the blood of life creates offspring.

When performing the Eightfold Reversal of Life, you can control the blood flow of creatures in the range, seize their blood, and condense corresponding blood swords around them. Every time you successfully condense a blood sword, one of your attributes will be improved.

Yin Sword - Critical Hit, Yang Sword - Strength, Life Sword - Toughness, Death Sword - Break Evil, Void Sword - Luck, Blood Sword - Restore Health, Spirit Sword - Divinity, Fine Sword - Spirit. 】

[Note: You have been fixed as the master of the Luoqi Zaoyi shrine. Due to your actions to improve your fate, the commonality between you and the master of the Luoqi Zaoyi shrine has been improved.]

[You obtain the ability of the path: Creation-Vampire Art. ]

[You gain the ability of the path: Chaos-Blood Rain. ]

[You obtain the path ability: Killing-Loqi Demon Mask. ]

……

In the fate column on the panel, the blue light on the bloodline fate gradually turned into a rich purple, and the words began to wriggle strangely like bloody tentacles, and finally combined into the two words "descendant master".

As the fate of the descendant was determined, Lin Beixuan could feel drastic changes taking place in the mansion where he founded his own government. The Luoqi Zaoyi shrine, which had originally seemed weak between the Beima shrine outside the pass and the Baize Shuijun shrine, suddenly burst into bloody light.

Blood was pouring down in the mansion, like sharp swords penetrating into the mansion and falling into the surging Yellow Spring, as if to dye the Yellow Spring red.

Faced with this situation, the water of the Yellow Spring became even more turbulent, as if angered by the sudden blood rain, raising waves and rushing towards the blood rain. The originally deep Yellow Spring was filled with the breath of weirdness and death.

As Huang Quan counterattacked, Xueyu became more manic, as if responding to the opponent's changes in his own way.

'The two shrines are actually competing with each other!'

Lin Beixuan's pupils suddenly widened and his brows furrowed deeply.

He opened his mansion with the four beams and eight pillars constructed in his body as its foundation. Now that the shrine in the mansion was in disorder, the first to suffer was the Qi flowing in his body, which was already showing signs of being out of his control.

'Damn it! !'

At some point, bloodshot appeared on the whites of Lin Beixuan's eyes, as if to dye his eyes red.

He tried hard to control the energy running wild in his body, but it was no use. The energy seemed to have consciousness and split into two sides, devouring each other madly in his body.

As for the body, except for the hand bones of Liuxia God, the liver of Sangmen God, and the heart of Difu, all organs were affected.

His right arm was like a pool of mud, his hair and teeth had all fallen out, his lower body had alien limbs, and his feet were deformed and swollen...

Lin Beixuan fell directly to the ground from where he was standing. His flesh and bones began to dissolve, his line of sight got lower and lower, and his entire body seemed to turn into a pool of blood.
