Chapter 412 Returning to Which Point in Time is Uncertain
Chapter 412 Returning to Which Point in Time is Uncertain
The earth was still, the night enveloped the forest, and an eerily large full moon hung in the sky, the leaves rustling in the wind.
Apart from the chirping of insects, there were no other natural sounds.
Lin Xiu leaned against the tree to recover her strength, listening to the fat worm's narration and gradually learning more.
"In other words, my current body cannot withstand the power of the Golden Light Bone; I must find my original source before I can use it," she concluded.
"Yes, Master." The fat worm lay beside them, and the two of them were surrounded by a light shield, which was the only thing it had cultivated over the years: "Your bloodline was tempered by divine power, so it can withstand the entry of the Golden Light Bone. However, there is no original divine power in your bloodline. If you force the Golden Light Bone to exert its power, you will suffer a backlash."
"When I entered the Void-Breaking Formation, I was also passively exposed to the Golden Light Bone, so why haven't I suffered any backlash?" Lin Xiu wondered.
According to the fat worm's information, if there is no Void-Breaking Array, it will sacrifice half of its soul to open the passage and escort her here.
Fortunately, the Sky-Breaking Formation was finally deployed.
However, the Void-Breaking Formation was fraught with danger, with a near-death experience. Although she was unconscious, the Golden Light Bone awakened and automatically protected her after entering her body.
"Master, try mobilizing your power," the fat worm said.
power?
Lin Xiu raised her hand, trying to find something special about her body, based on what the fat worm had said before, to sense spiritual or divine power, but found nothing but exhaustion.
There's nothing there.
"Yes, it was the Golden Bone that absorbed the meager divine power from the newly awakened bloodline!"
what! ?
Lin Xiu's eyes widened. So that's how it was. She took all those few things?
What should we do then?
Isn't this equivalent to running naked in this world?
You must understand that this is a world where the strong rule, and killing and slaughter are everywhere.
The fat worm's dormant soul, which had just merged with the other's, had virtually no spiritual power, let alone hers. She was simply being treated like a meal...
"Master, don't be afraid." As if sensing Lin Xiu's trembling emotions, the chubby worm grabbed the hem of her clothes with its little paws, and clenched its other paw into a fist to show that "although half of my soul, which I have stored here, has been dormant for many years and has little spiritual power, I have mastered the Golden Bell Shield!"
It was originally split in two; one part remained here, and the other went with its owner. Now they have been reunited.
As he spoke, the light shield around him brightened up a bit more.
A turtle shell?
Lin Xiu looked up and took a deep breath.
That's all we have now.
With a sigh, she hugged the fat worm and asked a crucial question: "Little Green, after the War of Punishment Gods, do I still have any enemies here?"
Bring on all the bad news you can, just to prepare her mentally.
Since I can survive, it's hard to guarantee that other gods haven't survived either.
What if she dies and there are still spirits around? If they see her face, they'll hunt her down for miles. Right now, I have absolutely no power to protect myself.
If this is possible, we should prepare as soon as possible!
Seeing this, the fat worm quickly comforted him, assuring him with great confidence: "Master, don't worry. After the great war, there are no more gods in the world. The reason I was able to put you into reincarnation is because you were once a human, and you have occasionally discovered during your moments of lucidity that the Hunyuan Continent has been dominated by humans since tens of thousands of years ago."
Human cultivators have forged their own path to godhood.
"Tens of thousands of years... Was the great war tens of thousands of years ago?" Lin Xiuxin's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but be shocked by the fact that it was tens of thousands of years ago.
She thought it would only take a few thousand or ten thousand years at most.
When viewing images of reincarnation, one doesn't have a long-term concept of the world.
The fat worm chuckled. Its owner had even forgotten about this. It seemed it truly was its owner's best helper!
“Master, what is this? In the era of the gods, the gods ruled the Hunyuan Continent for a whole era.”
Gods have long lifespans, but it's only a blink of an eye.
If it weren't for its damaged body and split soul, watching its master suffer life after life, it would also think it was just a fleeting moment.
When it cast its master into the cycle of reincarnation, it truly believed it was only a fleeting moment, but...
The fat worm's big eyes fell sadly, wondering if it had made the right decision.
Lin Xiu raised her hand and patted its head: "Little Green, you have done very well. When I look back on the past, I also acknowledge it."
This was not just her decision, but also the decision she made before dying in each of her lifetimes.
"The master has suffered a lot."
A tear fell with a "plop".
"After all the trials and tribulations, you're still here, so it's not bitter anymore." Lin Xiu smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
She always thought she was an orphan who had gotten the system by chance, but it turns out that someone had been plotting for her all along.
It's good that you care about others, not just one person.
"Enough of that. Tell me about this world. I'm going to find the origin and the divine essence." She patted the chubby worm's head, regaining her composure.
It's good that I don't have any enemies; there's no need to hide.
"Alright, Master." The fat worm flew into the air and began to explain.
The Hunyuan Continent is dominated by the human race.
There are countless human cultivators and sects everywhere, making it a prosperous and thriving place.
However, as time passed and the geography changed, the original power was nowhere to be found. The only information was that Lin Xiu would sense it when he was close to the original power.
As for the divine essence, regaining the divine essence will restore memories, but once the divine essence is regained, it will inevitably cause changes in the world.
Since the death of the gods ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dao has been born. The Heavenly Dao favors the human race, or rather, the Heavenly Dao is another kind of god, the protector god of the human race.
It was because humans killed gods that it became the Heavenly Way. Once a new god is born, Heaven will inevitably punish him and try to eliminate him.
The fat worm's solution was to obtain the divine spark and run back, so that even if he returned after fully recovering his power, the Heavenly Dao would be powerless against him.
Ancient gods never rely on any external force and cannot be easily shaken.
Lin Xiu listened and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that she didn't have much to do. The only problem was finding two things. Where should she start?
“How should we look for it?” she asked.
The chubby bug scratched its head, its adorable little face filled with embarrassment: "Master, I'm sorry, I've been sleeping for too long..." It didn't even know where it was...
Lin Xiu: ....
That is a problem.
"How about... we go find Nan En? Do you know where Nan En is?" she asked tentatively.
Nan En is a person of great fortune among humans, so he should have more leverage than her.
The other party even tied a marriage thread to her, which she could take advantage of.
The fat worm lowered its head even further.
Lin Xiu looked at the chubby, quail-like creature and couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead: "It's okay, we came together, he shouldn't be far away, right?"
As he spoke, he stood up and looked outside the golden light barrier, intending to search for someone.
Unexpectedly, what the fat worm said the next second almost made her lose her balance.
“Master, the Void-Breaking Array is the gateway back to the Chaos Continent, but it’s uncertain which point in time it will take us back to.”
"What do you mean?" Lin Xiu asked alertly, turning her head as if she had misheard.
