Starting with the Earth God, the path to immortality is deduced!

"They are not just rebelling."

"They are..."

"Guiding away evil gods from outer space!"

"To stop all of this."

"I'll coordinate from the inside and outside."

"To cooperate with the imperial army."

"The headquarters of the Wukong Sect was wiped out."

"But that battle."

"I was also seriously injured."

"The foundation of the divine way has been completely destroyed."

"We can only carry that secret with us."

"They fled to this remote city of Fengzhou."

"Let's go into seclusion."

"I became a local deity who carried a coffin."

Speaking of it.

Uncle Liu coughed violently again.

Fresh blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

But he didn't care at all.

She just held onto Zhou Yuan's hand tightly.

"I thought."

"This is how my life has passed."

"As long as I don't show my face."

"As long as I rot in this mud."

"They won't be able to find me."

"but……"

"The Wukong Cult has been resurrected!"

"They are not all dead."

"On the contrary, it has become even stronger."

"Even more bizarre!"

Uncle Liu pointed to the token at Zhou Yuan's waist.

"That damned scholar."

"He's just a pawn they've thrown out."

"A stepping stone for testing the waters."

"Truly terrifying."

"It's the person hiding behind the scenes."

"The contemporary leader of the Wukong Sect."

"A being known as the 'True Man of No Void'!"

"His strength."

"Far beyond your imagination."

"Even the Yang God powerhouses of yesteryear."

"I wouldn't dare say I'm guaranteed to beat him."

"and……"

"He and I have an old grudge."

"The kind of fight to the death."

Zhou Yuan felt his hands and feet were a little cold.

An enemy at the level of a Yang God?

Is this the kind of boss that should appear in a beginner's village?

What level is he at now?

All things considered.

It's basically a place for nighttime exploration.

With the blessing of a deity.

At most, one can only manage a day trip.

The gap between them.

It's like the difference between an ant and an elephant!

"So, your disappearance this time..."

Zhou Yuan asked.

"I went to investigate."

Uncle Liu sighed.

"I've sensed something unusual about the earth's ley lines."

"Follow the clues to find the melon."

"We found one of their branch altars."

"I originally intended to destroy that place."

"I didn't expect this..."

"They're stationed there."

"It's actually Master Wukong's eldest disciple!"

"I risked my life."

"They just escaped."

"But their whereabouts..."

"It seems we've already been exposed."

Uncle Liu looked at Zhou Yuan.

His eyes were filled with guilt.

"Xiao Yuan."

"It's my fault for dragging you down with me."

"If it weren't for me."

"They won't be targeting Fengzhou City."

"You won't get involved in this quagmire."

Zhou Yuan fell silent.

indeed.

This is quite a lot of information.

But he was not afraid.

instead.

A strange fighting spirit welled up inside me.

afraid?

What's there to be afraid of!

He, Zhou Yuan, has now come to this world.

Now that you've taken this divine position...

Then I never intended to be a coward!

"Uncle Liu."

You're wrong.

Zhou Yuan suddenly smiled.

He reached into his robes.

He slowly took out the ancient book, "Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters".

With the advent of books.

The atmosphere throughout the entire hall.

It changed in an instant.

An ancient, desolate, and mysterious aura.

It permeates the book.

Even the sinister power within Uncle Liu's body.

When you sense this aura.

They all huddled together in fear!

"This is not a case of being implicated."

"It's fate."

Zhou Yuan turned the page of the book.

Looking at those hideous and evil images above.

Looking at those sealed supernatural powers.

"I have this."

"It doesn't matter whether he's a real person or a fake one."

"Anything that is evil."

"That's my nourishment!"

Uncle Liu stared blankly at the book.

Shock in his eyes.

It was even more intense than when I saw Zhou Yuan become a god.

"This is……"

"Could this be the legendary...?"

"That thing?!"

Uncle Liu was once a practitioner of Shintoism.

His insight is naturally extraordinary.

He could sense it.

In this book.

It contains some supreme law.

That's a power that even the Yang Gods would covet!

"you……"

"Where did you get this?"

"This thing..."

"It's a great fortune."

"It's also a matter of great cause and effect!"

Uncle Liu's voice was trembling.

It was both exciting and...

More worries.

The principle of "possessing a treasure is a crime".

Everyone understands.

If the Wukong Sect finds out that Zhou Yuan has this kind of thing...

I'm afraid the entire cult will come to kill us!

"It's an heirloom."

Zhou Yuan chuckled.

It wasn't explained in detail.

After all, time travel is a thing.

It's too complicated to explain.

"Uncle Liu."

"Now that things have come to this point..."

There's no escaping it now.

"How about..."

"Let's pull off a big heist!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.

"Since they want this Fengzhou City."

"Then I'll let them have it."

"No one will return!"

Ma Ling'er listened with great enthusiasm.

He slammed his hand on the table.

"Well said!"

"I've been fed up with those cowardly, secretive guys for a long time!"

Count me in!

"I'll send a message home right away."

"Let my second uncle bring some men over!"

Uncle Liu looked at these two arrogant young men.

He shook his head with a wry smile.

But deep in his eyes.

The flames that had already been extinguished.

It seems that it has been reignited.

"it is good."

"good!"

"Since you have this intention."

"That old man, me."

"I'll go crazy with you guys!"

Uncle Liu pulled out a blood-stained sheepskin map from his pocket.

It was spread out on the table.

That's a map of Fengzhou City and its surrounding area.

It was covered with densely packed patterns.

Several dots are highlighted in red.

"This is what I found out after risking my life to investigate."

"These places."

"It is highly likely to be a node in the formation set up by the Wukong Sect."

"They want to use this 'Yin Sha Locking Dragon Formation'."

"Completely refine the earth veins of Fengzhou City."

"Turn this place into a dead zone."

"To sacrifice this to the evil god!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes were sharp and piercing.

Quickly memorize these locations.

Simultaneously.

His divine sense spread out instantly.

Connected to the earth.

Through the power of the earth god.

They began to quietly explore these locations.

really!

In his perception.

The local energy of those places.

Abnormally turbid.

It's like a malignant tumor has grown.

It reeks of a nauseating stench!

"Found it."

Zhou Yuan said coldly.

"It's in the mass grave in the north of the city."

"The dry well in the west of the city."

"besides……"

"That abandoned opera troupe in the south of the city!"

Uncle Liu nodded.

His expression was solemn.

"Knowing the location makes things easier."

"but."

"They are very powerful."

"Only you guys can do it."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it."

Uncle Liu said.

Suddenly, he pulled a tattered cloth bag from his pocket.

It was stuffed into Zhou Yuan's hand.

"Inside here."

"These are some of the life-saving talismans I had left over from back then."

"And my records on the weaknesses of the Wukong Sect's techniques."

"Take it."

"The critical moment."

"It can save lives."

Zhou Yuan took the cloth bag.

It feels heavy.

Before he could say anything...

Uncle Liu suddenly stood up.

Although still weak.

But his back was ramrod straight.

Like that once-powerful protector.

It's back again.

"Uncle Liu?"

Where are you going?

A bad feeling welled up in Zhou Yuan's heart.

"I can't stay here."

Uncle Liu turned around.

He gave Zhou Yuan a deep look.

In those eyes.

He has a fatherly love.

"Since that senior disciple has already discovered me."

"Then they'll catch up soon."

"If I stay here."

"This is tantamount to bringing the battlefield to the local temple."

"They led them to Fengzhou City."

"At that time."

"The people suffer."

"Your foundation will also be destroyed."

Zhou Yuan panicked.

He grabbed Uncle Liu.

"No!"

"You're so badly injured."

"Going out is suicide!"

"In this temple."

"I am protected by divine power."

"Even if that so-called 'real person' came."

"I could knock two of his teeth out too!"

Uncle Liu smiled.

He gently patted Zhou Yuan's hand.

Pry his hands open forcefully.

"Silly child."

"Shinto practice."

"The most taboo thing is to get entangled in cause and effect."

"I am your calamity."

"It's also your destiny."

"This calamity."

"I have to answer it myself."

"Besides..."

A sly glint flashed in Uncle Liu's eyes.

"I'm not going there to die."

"Although I'm an old man, I'm useless."

"But the ability to escape."

"There are few people in this world who can compare to me."

"I'll distract them."

"To buy you some time."

"You must do this before the 'True Man of Emptiness' arrives in person."

"Those boils you just mentioned."

"Squeeze them all out!"

"As long as we break their great formation."

"They destroyed their foundation."

Even if a celestial being were to come...

"On this small plot of land in Fengzhou City."

"We also have to consider your opinion, you local deity!"

Done.

Uncle Liu no longer hesitated.

He took one last look at the brand-new earth god temple.

He glanced at that person, even after becoming a god.

The boy, however, still looked anxious.

"I'm gone."

"Take good care of yourself."

"Don't embarrass your father!"

Although he was only a foster father.

But this "father"

Yet it sounded perfectly natural.

Done.

Uncle Liu swayed.

He crushed a yellow talisman in his hand.

His entire body instantly transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light.

It burrowed underground.

Earth Release Technique!

"Uncle Liu!!!"

Zhou Yuan shouted.

Reach out to grab it.

But all they managed to grasp was a wisp of dissipating dust.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Yuan slammed his fist into the door frame.

Golden divine power surged.

To hammer a deep dent into the hard wood.

he knows.

Uncle Liu is right.

This is the best solution at present.

But he hated it!

I hate that I'm not strong enough!

She hated herself for needing a seriously injured old man.

Go and draw away the powerful enemy for him!

"Zhou Yuan..."

Ma Ling'er walked over.

She gently patted his shoulder.

The carefree smiles of the past were gone.

"Don't let Uncle Liu's good intentions go to waste."

"He's risking his life to buy you time."

What we need to do now.

"I'm not here to wallow in self-pity."

"But..."

Zhou Yuan suddenly raised his head.

The grief and indignation in his eyes.

In an instant, it transformed into overwhelming killing intent.

Those once clear eyes.

At this moment, it had turned into a deep black-gold color.

Like two black holes that devour everything.

"you're right."

"There's no time."

Zhou Yuan turned around.

Look at the unfolded map.

That was intelligence that Uncle Liu obtained at the cost of his life.

Each red dot.

They are all ticking time bombs.

It is also a dagger planted in the heart of Fengzhou City by the Wukong Sect.

"Since they want to play."

"Then I'll play along with them to the very end!"

Zhou Yuan's voice.

It was as cold as a gust of wind blowing from the deepest hell.

"Uncle Wang!"

"This old servant is here!"

Uncle Wang had been waiting by the side the whole time.

Her eyes were also red at that moment.

He didn't say anything.

But everything that just happened...

He saw it all.

Uncle Liu usually took good care of him.

This affection.

He remembered.

"Pass down the order."

"tonight."

"Martial law declared throughout the city!"

"No one is allowed to move around freely!"

"Parade day and night!"

"grumble!"

The little wooden figure immediately straightened its back.

The rod struck the ground with a stern warning.

It made a crisp sound.

"You will lead a squad of ghost soldiers."

"Guard this earth god temple to the death!"

Even if it's just a fly.

"Don't let them in either!"

After arranging the defense.

Zhou Yuan looked at Ma Ling'er.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Advisor Ma."

"What you just said."

"Want to count you in?"

Ma Ling'er grinned.

He drew his iconic demon-subduing staff from his waist.

Purple lightning crackled across the rod.

It reflected her excited little face.

"That's natural."

"I've been itching to get started for ages!"

Zhou Yuan nodded.

He reached out and grabbed the cloth bag from the table.

That was left behind by Uncle Liu.

He carefully tucked it into his bosom.

It's like carrying a heavy promise.

Then.

He stepped out of the temple gate.

The cloak behind him.

It rustled in the night wind.

"Let's go then."

"Let's go to that mass grave first."

"For Uncle Liu..."

"Collect some interest!"

The night wind howled.

Roll up the fallen leaves on the ground.

It was as if they were seeing off an elderly person who had just passed away.

Zhou Yuan stood on the threshold of the land temple.

That black and gold official robe.

It rustled in the night.

His gaze was fixed on the spot where Uncle Liu had disappeared.

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked.

The fingernails dug deeply into the palm.

A trickle of crimson blood seeped out.

"call……"

a long time.

Zhou Yuan let out a long breath.

In those deep eyes.

He forcibly suppressed the surging killing intent.

Instead.

It was a chilling calm.

Just as Uncle Liu said.

The anger now.

It is the cheapest thing.

Only power.

That is the fundamental solution to everything!

"The divine position..."

Zhou Yuan murmured softly.

He slowly closed his eyes.

My mind sank into the sea of ​​consciousness.

That Earth God Seal floating in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness.

It is currently emitting a faint golden light.

This is the divine symbol of Fengzhou City.

It is also his greatest reliance now.

As the mind is mobilized.

hum!

The divine seal trembled slightly.

A mysterious feeling that is hard to describe.

It surged through my entire body in an instant.

This moment.

Zhou Yuan felt that he was no longer an individual.

His perception.

Following the ground beneath my feet.

Following the intricate network of earth veins.

It spread instantly throughout the entire city of Fengzhou!

This is an extremely wonderful experience.

It's like God's perspective.

Every blade of grass and every tree in the entire city.

Every brick and tile.

Even the ants crawling underground.

All of this was clearly presented in his mind.

A night watchman on the street.

The wealthy businessmen were still drinking and toasting in their secluded mansion.

A beggar huddled in a corner of the slum, shivering.

All walks of life.

Everything is within sight.

at the same time.

A stream of power invisible to the naked eye.

Rising from every corner of the city.

That's the power of incense and prayers!

It is the people's reverence and prayers to the land god.

They transformed into specks of golden light.

Like all rivers flowing into the sea.

They converged towards the direction of the Earth God Temple.

It merged into Zhou Yuan's body.

It nourished his soul.

It strengthened his divine power.

This feeling of being filled with power.

It's intoxicating.

It makes people lose their way.

It's as if all it takes is a thought.

Then they can move mountains and fill seas.

omnipotent.

however.

Just as Zhou Yuan was about to withdraw his senses.

On the way to the mass grave.

His brow furrowed.

Suddenly, he frowned sharply.

Something's not right.

Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

In those dark gold eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed across his face.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Ling'er, who was standing nearby, noticed his unusual behavior.

The lightning on the demon-subduing staff in his hand had not yet dissipated.

He asked, puzzled.

"This incense..."

"poisonous."
