I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 4 Death Crisis
dark night.

On top of the skyscrapers in the distance.

One figure after another appeared on the rooftop, aiming at the hospital building in the distance, which was heavily fortified like an iron barrel. Even drones couldn't get close to it, but they seemed to have found a new way.

They were all dressed in strange outfits, and it was only when their arms were spread out like wings that one would realize they were wingsuits for flying.

They wore helmets, their eyes behind goggles were cold and seemingly devoid of any emotion, and everyone moved in perfect unison.

"set off!"

At a command, these people jumped down one after another like large birds, and then, with the help of their gliders and the cover of darkness, headed towards their target location.

"Four, three, two, one."

The first person arrived above the hospital ahead of time, and at that moment, the alarm sounded rapidly, the piercing sound swirling like a storm, attracting the attention of countless people both inside and outside.

But the moment the alarm sounded, the person in the glider who was at the forefront had already reached the outside of the hospital building and was about to crash into it and be turned into a pile of minced meat.

At that moment, he released the switch, and the bomb he was carrying exploded, sending up a burst of intense flames in the darkness.

"Boom!"

It was at this moment that Li Jun, who was sitting on the altar, woke up.

He slid down the collapsed altar and stood up just as he stepped onto the ground.

He was now wearing a Taoist robe, cloth shoes, and white socks, as if he had blended into the crowd and become one of them, standing in place looking at the blasted opening.

By this time, some time had passed since Li Jun pointed out the true location of Kunlun, and the young Taoist priest Jun had disappeared.

The Taoist priests and other people present were leaderless and at a loss in the face of this sudden situation, and were thrown into chaos for a time.

A wave of waves has risen again.

The light fixture was either blown out or the wiring was damaged; only a dim emergency light shone in from the outside passageway.

Just as the people present took out their flashlights to illuminate the surroundings, one figure after another rushed in through the gap created by the explosion.

But how could they possibly stop their speed by rushing in like that? One after another, these people crashed into the walls of the room.

"Clap clap clap!"

All the intruders were reduced to puddles of minced meat, with most of their tissues stuck to the walls, impossible to scrape off with a shovel.

Even worse, some crashed into people indoors, slamming them to the ground and leaving them in pieces so dismembered that they were impossible to separate.

Before people could fully comprehend the devastation left by the explosion, the ravaged land was instantly transformed into a bloody meat grinder.

The changes came one after another, and the intense impact was hard to accept.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't understand the meaning and purpose of such a suicide attack.

However, Li Jun and some others noticed that the flesh and blood that exploded when these people hit the walls and the ground were not ordinary blood red, but a strange dark red mixed with green.

Li Jun went a step further and discovered that the cross-sections of some severed limbs were not ordinary flesh and bone; one could vaguely see something resembling tree roots and tentacles wriggling.

"This thing isn't human!"

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Someone in the crowd pointed to a helmet covered in cracks on the ground and shouted.

"It's moving!"

The "helmet" started to spin, as if it had been kicked.

As the "helmet" began to rotate, a large number of blood-red, tentacled or root-like things gathered towards it.

The "helmet" was piled higher and higher from below the neck, gradually piecing together a torso, and the scattered limbs crawled over and attached themselves to the body.

in a blink.

This thing actually turned into a human shape again.

"Ah, what is this thing?" Most people stood there, terrified, or cried out in alarm, wanting to run away.

"Demon? How is this possible? We haven't even found the divine stone yet, how could this thing appear in the world?" But some of the Taoists seemed to recognize what it was and shouted loudly.

"Kill them!" Several Taoist priests suddenly pulled out guns from under their robes and opened fire on the so-called "demon."

Gunfire erupted immediately, and the others began to seek cover.

The immortal humanoid monster charged towards the gun barrels, but the gunshots had no effect on them, only slightly slowing its movements.

He accelerated and rushed over, snatching a gun from one of the Taoist priests. With his other hand, he plunged it into the priest's eye, killing him instantly. He then turned the gun on the others and began firing.

While everyone's attention was drawn to this immortal humanoid monster, more monsters silently revived and stood up one after another.

The two people who tried to escape through the exit were killed by the monsters.

Their fingers were like sharp blades, capable of piercing directly into human flesh. One man fell to the ground with his neck pierced by this monster, while another suffered an even worse fate, with his heart being ripped out.

The scene was incredibly bloody, and many people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their mental and physical strength shattered by the series of images.

At this moment, the monsters' gazes swept over everyone present, finally settling on Li Jun, who had been hiding in the crowd and had no distinguishing features.

One of the monsters spoke from beneath its helmet: "It's him. Live or dead?"

Another gave the order: "Shoot him, then convert him!"

The dark muzzle of the gun was raised.

Li Jun instantly felt his mental focus had increased to an unprecedented level.

However, Li Jun was just a mortal, and he didn't even have a pencil, let alone a gun. He was completely helpless in the face of this situation.

At that moment, a sharp cry came from somewhere.

"Chirp!"

He suddenly heard the cry of a bluebird.

In an instant, Li Jun saw the scene of his own death.

Faced with the gun pointed at him, he unsurprisingly fell into a pool of blood.

The monster in front of them, whose nature was unknown, injected something into its body and then performed a ritual-like action.

It didn't take long.

In the scene, he swayed and stood up, becoming just like them.

"The Bluebird's supernatural powers?"

Li Jun didn't understand why the Bluebird, which clearly existed ten thousand years ago and wasn't by his side at the moment, could still activate this supernatural power.

But at that moment he couldn't think about any of that. He reacted immediately when faced with the gun barrel that was already pointed at him.

"boom!"

Li Jun had already started running before the other side fired.

The "person" reacted very quickly, immediately pointing the gun at Li Jun again and firing shot after shot.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

But Li Jun seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he dodged it every time.
Two "people" came to stop him, but he slid to the side, curled up into a ball, and slipped out through the gap between them and under their waving hands.

He rolled over and stood up, reaching the breach in the wall that these "people" had blasted open.

He stood on high ground.

It was pitch black outside.

Whether it was because of these people or not, the entire area lost power, and the pitch-black environment was like the eighteenth level of hell, waiting for him to fall into it.

Moreover, this is the fourth floor.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he did not hesitate to jump from the fourth floor.

There was a row of power lines below, and he happened to land on one of them. He bounced on the line once and then fell downwards.

And at the very bottom, on the ground, there was something unexpected.

The very first attacker who arrived here, the "person" who was blown to pieces by the bomb.

At this moment, he slowly reassembled, the scattered parts forming a human shape, only to be crushed by Li Jun who fell from the sky.

It became the last layer of shock-absorbing cushion.

This "person" has turned back into a pile of parts, and it can't be reassembled in a short time.

Li Jun didn't care about his injuries or aches; he was completely focused.

I became so focused that I could only pay attention to the outside world; I became so focused that it seemed like all my emotions disappeared.

He glanced around briefly, then immediately found the road and direction, and ran towards it in the darkness.

The gap that was blown open high up in the hospital building.

One figure after another appeared there, looking at Li Jun's faint shadow in the darkness below. Their faces, which had remained expressionless and emotionless from beginning to end, now revealed a variety of emotions.

"?"

Li Jun's escape was so smooth that these immortal monsters couldn't react in time, and the changes were so rapid that they didn't even have time to react, as if they had been attacked without warning.

However, some of these "people" seemed to have noticed something.

"Magic?"

Where did he get his supernatural powers?

"Impossible! How could anyone else be able to use supernatural powers at this time!"

"Wasn't he a newly awakened double pupil?

The "person" whose body had been crushed by Li Jun's use as a cushion, its head on the ground, watched Li Jun's departing shadow and let out a sharp cry towards the sky.

"catch him!"

"We must catch him!"

All the attackers immediately abandoned their other targets, jumped down together, and followed Li Jun in the direction he had fled.
-
Everything happened in a flash.

The outside world reacted quickly enough; within five minutes, a large number of fully armed personnel arrived outside the remote hospital and surrounded it.

But the attackers and their target had already left, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

A man wearing a black jacket and glasses stepped out of a car, holding a tablet computer in his hand and a white, earphone-like device hanging on his left ear.

At this very moment, he was walking and talking to someone.

"We have arrived at the scene and all personnel present have been brought under control."

After reporting the initial situation, the man could not contain his emotions and spoke with extreme anger.

“Zhou Shentong has run into trouble. He has secretly taken control of the entire region and falsified the documents and data he reports.”

“We believe that the virus-infected people in the region are still receiving conservative treatment. In fact, all members have died, leaving only one virus adaptant, but this person has been concealed by Zhou Shentong.” “We don’t know when he joined the Longevity Sect, or whether he was a member of the Longevity Sect from the beginning.”

"He is using these people to create virus adaptants to find the Divine Stone, which is the location of the Creation Jade Disc in the eyes of the Taoist sect."

“This madman has killed countless people. We must catch him and bring him to justice.”

The person on the other end of the phone was much calmer and responded.

"This is not something he could have done alone; there must have been many more people assisting him. We are currently investigating."

Who was the last infected person to survive? Do we have any information about him?

The man in the black uniform and glasses tapped the tablet, and a person's information and photo appeared.

"Li Jun!"

It's really an ordinary name, and there's nothing special about its history.

The bespectacled man said, "The only thing worth noting is that he enjoys mountain climbing and camping, and it's possible that he contracted the double pupil virus during these activities. According to the information, he was a person who naturally contracted the double pupil virus!"

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "So he's the first true adaptor to the double pupil virus in our time. Where is he now?"

The bespectacled man walked and eventually arrived at the inpatient building behind the building.

Soon, he found more information and also consulted with members of the hospital.

At the accident site high above, amidst the corpses of members of the Changsheng Temple's outskirts, the men brought by the bespectacled man were rebuilding the scene.

Before leaving, the attackers slaughtered all the members of the Changsheng Temple who were present.

And soon.

Another medical worker at the scene, wearing work clothes, discovered some unusual tissue in the remains and immediately reported it to the man with glasses.

The bespectacled man's expression immediately changed: "A plant-like virus infected person."

He immediately blurted out a word: "Demon?"

"We have an emergency report: residual material suspected to be from a plant-like virus infection has been found at the site!"

"According to the reconstruction of the scene and confirmation from some eyewitnesses, Li Jun suddenly jumped from the fourth floor to escape. The attackers chased Li Jun out of the hospital and their whereabouts are currently unknown."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone immediately tensed up.

"You mean a demon?"

"The divine stone hasn't appeared yet, so how could a demon possibly appear?"

"Can you confirm that the situation you reported could lead to an escalation of the entire alert level?"

The bespectacled man said, "It cannot be fully confirmed yet, but the scene does confirm that a group of beings with special abilities attacked this place. They probably entered by wingsuit flying."

"The reconstruction at the scene proves that they should have died from the explosion and impact, but apart from a small amount of residual material, no other limbs or body parts could be found."

"They should not have died after the explosion and impact; instead, they killed the members of the Changsheng Temple who were present."

After saying that, the bespectacled man immediately offered a plan of action.

"I suggest we start with Li Jun!"

“Li Jun was just an ordinary person before, so finding him should be very easy.”

"Finding him will lead us to the attackers and the entities behind them, but we must be quick, as the attackers may get there first."

The voice on the other end of the phone asked, "If Li Jun is really an ordinary person, how did he escape from these immortal attackers?"

This question left the bespectacled man speechless.

The person on the other end of the phone continued, "Regardless of whether he was an ordinary person before, he is no longer an ordinary person now. You must be prepared for that."

The man with glasses said, "Yes!"

The bespectacled man hung up the phone, then quickly walked downstairs, weaving through the hurried crowds, and got back into his car, heading off into the distance.

the other side.

The Taoist priest who had spoken with Li Jun earlier, namely Zhou Shentong, had already arrived in the Kunlun Mountain area within a few hours.

He was currently traveling in a helicopter, heading towards his destination at top speed.

At this moment, Zhou Shentong became increasingly anxious, constantly looking down and searching for everything within his sight.

At that moment, a phone call came to him.

Zhou Shentong answered the phone impatiently at first, then his expression suddenly turned cold.

"what's the situation?"

"Who did it?"

"Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore anyway, I'll be there soon."

"No matter what they want to do, it's too late. We've already taken the lead over everyone else."

During the conversation, Zhou Shentong had already arrived at the target location.

One by one, the members arrived, and various instruments and equipment were transported down. Then, they began to search every corner of the place like a net covering the sky.

"Nothing at all!"

After receiving a response, Zhou Shentong became even more agitated, which was somewhat unexpected.

Someone next to me said, "Hasn't too much time passed?"

Zhou Shentong immediately retorted: "Impossible. If it were the real Kunlun, it would definitely leave something behind no matter how long it has been."

"It's either that we haven't found the right place, or that the right time hasn't come yet."

As Zhou Shentong spoke, he thought of another possibility.

"Also, he lied."

Zhou Shentong immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"We must capture Li Jun; we can't let him fall into someone else's hands!"

When Zhou Shentong finished speaking, he uttered a sentence almost decisively.

"He belongs to us."
-
The night was deep.

Li Jun left the dark hospital amidst the panicked fleeing crowd. He knew where to go and even knew his destination.

He ran ahead, took off his blood-stained Taoist robe, threw it into a trash can, and closed the lid, leaving him only in a light white undergarment.

He felt more relaxed after taking off his outer Taoist robe, and he ran faster. He could feel the attackers still chasing him.

"As expected, they're all after me."

"Still behind me."

After navigating several alleys, Li Jun temporarily escaped the attackers.

Beneath a protruding iron-framed window, he saw a blue school uniform left out to dry, probably belonging to a careless middle school student.

He quickly changed into this school uniform.

He zipped the zipper up to his chin, put his hands in his pockets, and lowered his head.

He seems to have become a middle school student as well.

We walked out of the dark and damp alley.

Cars and trucks come and go on the wide streets, and the lights of thousands of tall buildings come into view.

Having been isolated from the world for a long time, Li Jun felt a deep sense of unfamiliarity looking at all of this.

Li Jun raised his head and looked to the left and right of the street.

He could vaguely sense that there were gazes watching him from above, searching for him.

His ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune allows him to always find the right path; the surrounding pedestrians, buildings, and even the angle of his own movement can all become the driving force he uses.

The attacker, known as the Wood Guest and seemingly a demon, is being searched for by three forces: the bespectacled man and the Changsheng Temple, forming a massive web of connections.

Each one points to a situation he doesn't want to fall into.

In the midst of intense crisis and countless paths to death, the Bluebird's instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster paved a way for him.

At that moment, he felt like he was no longer a human being.

His double pupils continued to gleam, and in the darkness, his eyes glowed faintly. The power of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune gave him a sense of omniscience, as if he were one with the heavens.

Just as the Great Mother of the Ximu clan called him when she was worshipped.

It seems he really has become an emperor.

Heaven.

He felt as if he had somehow detached himself from this mortal body, looking down on the entire earth from high above, able to control and manipulate everything.

He knew what was happening, he knew what would happen next, and he knew even more that he would end up somewhere.

"Mom, look at that person's eyes."

Walk across the red light.

As they weaved through the sea of ​​people, a child being led by his mother noticed Li Jun's unusual double pupils.

When Li Jun looked at him, the child's mouth dropped open at the sight of his jewel-like, heterochromatic eyes.

But Li Jun quickly passed by him and disappeared into the vast crowd. The child's mother turned her head to look back, but saw nothing.

Finally, Li Jun arrived at his destination.

It was an antique shop.

Everything points to this place, telling him that there is something here that can solve all his current crises.

The store was still lit and open. Li Jun went inside and quickly noticed something on the shelf.

He saw a long feather that looked like jade.

It is so lifelike, but it feels as hard as metal when touched. No one would believe that it is a real feather, but a carving of jade.

Li Jun blurted out: "Bluebird!"

Everything from ten thousand years ago and the present world are connected by this blue feather.

The sense of unreality and transcendence in Li Jun's mind gradually disappeared, and the emotions that had been somewhat clouded by a series of sudden events slowly returned to his body.

Is it my bluebird?

Li Jun reached out and slowly approached the long feather.
