In short, the matters of the Exotic Realm have almost completely entangled Huaxia’s efforts to maintain stability and balance on the ground.
It’s not just Huaxia; Northern Europe and the Lighthouse Country are also unable to proceed, with chaos erupting domestically.
Chang’e said, "They should have evacuated on the Celestial Palace."
"The Celestial Palace?"
"It was created nearly a thousand years ago, when the Celestial Court realized that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism was about to disappear. Countless rare treasures and materials were used to forge a ship that can traverse the boundless realms of the Cosmos."
Saying this, Chang’e’s face showed a hint of regret as she said, "It’s such a pity that due to certain reasons, I didn’t board the ship. According to the Celestial Emperor, this Celestial Palace has the capability to reach the other side, in search of the true opportunity for eternal life."
Here, Chang’e hesitated for a moment, but then continued, "At the time, to build this ship, the Celestial Emperor even set a trap, forcibly sacrificing all the All Heaven Star Monarchs. Three hundred and sixty star monarchs and eight hundred Horror Gods became the dragon bones of the Celestial Palace."
These Ancient Immortal Gods are truly ruthless, even towards their own kind, showing no mercy when Power is at stake.
"Do you know where they’ve gone?"
Facing Lu Ren’s inquiry, Chang’e slightly shook her head and said, "Before its departure, there was an upheaval; the Jade Emperor was seriously injured by the sudden attack from the Queen Mother of the West, who wanted to seize the Celestial Palace. Both sides revealed their trump cards, but the Jade Emperor had prepared countless setups, catching the Queen Mother of the West unawares, resulting in her death on the spot, used as nourishment by the Jade Emperor."
Indeed, none of these people are good!
"Then, do you know why the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism disappeared?"
Chang’e slightly shook her head, "Not clear. Even Tathagata and the Jade Emperor were unable to find any cause, despite entering the Inner Image Land. There seemed to be some mishap within, resulting in a complete falling out between the two."
It’s truly complicated beyond words.
The Great Wilderness Era is too distant to discuss. For now, only the Moon Palace’s Master, Chang Xin, has been found. The rest have become Wandering Souls or have completely perished over time, disappearing without a trace. No matter how glorious they once were, now nothing remains.
Lu Ren vaguely understood why these people pursued eternal life at any cost.
Time is the greatest enemy. The Cosmos continually increases its entropy, time marches on relentlessly, and the Power of time endlessly corrodes these powerful Extraordinary individuals.
Are they afraid that they might not even leave a trace of information in this universe?
Deep in thought, Lu Ren didn’t inquire further, spending most of his time questioning Chang’e for trifles,
"I’m curious if you had bellybands in your time?"
Standing in the Inner Realm, Lu Ren idly questioned Chang’e while staring at his Path of Origin.
Though his True Body remained within the Seeking Truth Realm, at this moment, due to the Body Reflection Realm, even the True Wind hadn’t appeared.
According to Changxi’s information, if one remains in the Seeking Truth Realm for a long time, the True Wind will inevitably come for them.
Strictly speaking, Lu Ren’s current Realm is merely at the entrance of the Seeking Truth Realm. His physique and Divine Soul must endure seven ordeals within the Seeking Truth Realm, from the foundational True Wind entering the body to the highest unknown tribulation.
Each experience is a brush with life and death, making Lu Ren question who devised such a challenging path in this cultivation system.
"Rogue, you’re courting death!!"
Chang’e’s face flushed with anger. If she weren’t forcibly imprisoned in the Inner Realm, she would have looked for Lu Ren to fight already.
"Ha? Could your era’s productivity have been so low that you didn’t even have bellybands?"
Watching Chang’e’s heaving chest, Lu Ren was a bit surprised and quite intrigued.
"I’m very curious what productivity looked like during your Mythical Era?"
According to the Security Bureau’s theory, if a society’s productivity hasn’t sufficiently developed to liberate itself, yielding to an evolutionary cultivation system, then it would be severely distorted.
Ordinary people starved, while the elite indulged in luxury. The lower classes desired revolution but lacked resources to rival the top cultivators of the day.
Except for those with great Qi fortune.
The Qi fortune theory had indeed been confirmed: with thick Qi fortune, whatever one does seems to go smoothly, turning bad into good and good into tremendous blessings.
At least according to the Qi Fortune Research Institute, Lu Ren is undoubtedly a person of great Qi fortune and tremendous blessings. In times of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism revival, he would definitely rise.
Lu Ren had no objections to this conclusion, having received a system was the greatest opportunity under Heaven.
Chang’e maintained a cold demeanor, snorted softly, and refused to engage with Lu Ren. In the past, she would have eradicated such a person.
Seeing Chang’e unwilling to engage, Lu Ren didn’t mind; he was merely sparking conversation. After some thought, he asked, "What’s the name of the cultivation technique you practice?"
Upon hearing this, Chang’e showed a wary expression, "What are you trying to do?"
Lu Ren replied calmly, "Of course to absorb all knowledge, gather strengths from all sources, to elevate myself higher."
Chang’e sneered coldly.
Lu Ren smirked, tilted his head, stepped forward, and said, ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveIＦire.net
"I was waiting for you to say that."
As Lu Ren blocked off the area between Chang’e and himself, Xu Fu sighed, "What a pity for such a beauty of national grace and divine fragrance."
Chen Xuzi rolled his eyes, "Do you think you can still manage it now?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu became somewhat dejected, "Back then, when I asked Emperor Shi for three thousand selected boys and girls, they formed my massive harem team!"
Chen Xuzi shivered instantly, "You disgust me."
Kong Qiu said, "I knew these high-ranking families were chaotic, but not to this extent."
Subodhi said coldly, "Harming children is a sin worthy of death!"
Xu Fu sneered, "Your Buddhist Sect is no saint, either. Do you think you’re some white lotus?"
Hearing Xu Fu’s words, Subodhi wanted to retort but recalled the scene at Mani Temple on the Beidou Emperor Star, leaving everyone’s mind complex.
Although they committed rampant killings and sacrifices, they never thought of domesticating people over generations into sheep.
