A rare opportunity

"The secret realm left behind by the great god is located in the far north of Xuanyuan Star, and it will open in about ten days. At that time, we will also go there with Li Sheng!"

Li Yu didn't care whether they went or not. His only reason for going was to see if there was any information about the Divine Soul Tree in the Great God's Ruins.

There was nothing he could do about it. If he had obtained information about the Divine Soul Tree through other channels, he would never have taken this risk. As for the other methods Xiang Aotian mentioned for restoring Mu Chun's soul, he hadn't even considered them. Because subconsciously, he had already regarded the Divine Soul Fruit as the only divine medicine to heal Mu Chun's soul!

Of course, this was all thanks to Mao Xiazong! Mao Xiazong had always emphasized the uniqueness of the Divine Soul Fruit for Mu Chun! Under Mao Xiazong's subtle influence, Li Yu also believed that only by finding the Divine Soul Tree and picking the Divine Soul Fruit could he save his master Mu Chun!

The long search yielded no results whatsoever regarding the Divine Soul Tree; in fact, no one even knew of its existence. This left Li Yu somewhat bewildered!

In the vast universe, there's no telling when this search will end! Therefore, he's unwilling to miss any opportunity to obtain information about the Divine Soul Tree, even if that opportunity is extremely slim.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu simply nodded silently and closed his eyes to rest. Since he knew the other party wanted to use him, he didn't bother to feign politeness with them.

In his view, true friends are those who open their hearts to each other. If there's calculation involved, then they're no longer friends. And if they're not friends, there's no need for formalities.

Xiang Aotian and the others were incredibly embarrassed! They knew that their past friendship with Li Yu was over. They couldn't help but feel a pang of regret! Of course, their regret wasn't about suggesting Li Yu enter the Great God's Ruins, but rather about their actions that had displeased Li Yu. If they had told Li Yu sooner, if they had directly told him everything about the Great God's Ruins instead of resorting to deception, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

But it's too late for regrets now. The only saving grace is that Li Yu didn't refuse to enter the Great God's Ruins!

Although they coveted the inheritance and various rare treasures within the Great God's Ruins, they dared not risk entering! After all, from ancient times to the present, no one had ever emerged alive from the Great God's Ruins! Of course, not even a single corpse had come out!

If the legends are true, and that place truly is the ruins of a great god, then it must hold countless opportunities! Leaving aside the rare and precious materials, and the great god's legacy, the very remains and aura left behind by that god are immense opportunities for them! They could very well allow them to ascend to godhood!

The greater the danger, the greater the temptation! Therefore, despite their ancestral precepts, they still harbor treacherous intentions!

Xiang Aotian's statement that he would accompany Li Yu into the Great God's Ruins was not unfounded. After all, relying on others is ultimately unreliable; to obtain opportunities, one must ultimately rely on oneself!

Although they are on the verge of becoming gods, it is only on the verge! Over hundreds of thousands of years, very few cultivators on the entire Xuanyuan Star have been able to ascend to godhood! According to historical records, there have only been two such individuals!

Although they considered themselves exceptionally talented, they dared not claim that their talents could compare to those two legendary figures! Therefore, their chances of ascending to godhood were actually extremely slim!

Seeing their time was drawing near, they decided to take a gamble! At worst, they would die and their cultivation would vanish! If they won, they would attain godhood and live as long as heaven and earth!

Just then, Li Yu appeared on Xuanyuan Star. Based on their observations, they discovered that Li Yu might be the key to unlocking the Great God's Ruins, so they wanted to recruit him to pave the way for them.

Of course, one of the most important reasons for choosing Li Yu is that he possesses the True Fire of the Sun! You must understand, the Great God's Ruins are located in the far north, an extremely cold place! And whenever the ruins open, they emanate wisps of chilling air! Those with slightly weaker cultivation cannot even get within a thousand miles, let alone enter! If they force their way in, they will quickly turn into zombies!

Therefore, in their view, this great deity probably cultivated the art of yin and cold. When the great deity passed away, his power dissipated into the ruins, causing them to become extremely cold. It is likely that all the cultivators who entered the ruins froze to death inside, and naturally, no one was able to come out.

Of course, there are also many people on Xuanyuan Star who possess extraordinary flames. Presumably, their flames are insufficient to withstand the cold within the ruins!

The True Fire of the Sun is truly different! After all, it is hailed as the number one of the Ten Divine Fires! They believe that with the True Fire of the Sun, they can withstand the cold in the ruins! They might really be able to return alive from those ruins! Perhaps they can really obtain the inheritance of that great god, gain the opportunity to ascend, and emerge alive from the ruins!

Although they had this idea, they remained hesitant! After all, Li Yu was an outsider, and they feared he might be greedy! They worried they might end up losing more than they gained. But upon closer reflection, they realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they didn't gamble, they might never have another chance in their lives!

Of course, what they feared most was that Li Yu wouldn't agree. After all, only a fool would do something with a certain death!

It's obvious that Li Yu isn't stupid! On the contrary, he's quite clever! No matter how hard we think about it, we can't come up with any reason why Li Yu would willingly lead them into the Great God's Ruins.

After some discussion, the group decided that they had no choice but to risk using the fabricated information about the Divine Soul Tree! After all, they believed that Li Yu was determined to obtain the Divine Soul Tree and would not miss any opportunity to learn about it!

They really did make the right bet! But this also created a rift between them and Li Yu! Their thoughts couldn't be hidden from Li Yu at all!

The little Azure Dragon had no concept of any divine ruins. He simply had a blind reverence for Li Yu! He believed that since Li Yu had agreed to go, there wouldn't be any danger!

Hou Rujing and Mu Chengqi on the spaceship, however, seemed quite worried! The place where a great god passed away was not a place to be entered or exited easily! To prevent their remains from being damaged, they would definitely have set up restrictions before their passing! To protect their remains, those restrictions must be full of danger! With the protection of god-level power, how could such restrictions be easily broken by those below the god level?

Yin Zijuan and the others naturally knew that this divine ruin was fraught with danger. But like the little green dragon, they harbored a blind worship for Li Yu! They believed that no difficulty could defeat Li Yu!
