Chapter 378 Lu Yu's Advancement! He Stands Up and Kicks Powerfully! The Old God Ecosystem! Creating New Secret Recipes
As the uncrowned king of the Myriad Races Arena, Lu Yu's every move is watched closely not only by his opponents but also by his own people.
If anything goes wrong, both the High Council and the Alliance will blame them.
Even though the Star Phoenix Ancestor and many other powerful families in the Star Clan wished they could tear him to pieces, they could only grit their teeth and serve as his bodyguards.
Lu Yu's security level is the highest in the alliance, even surpassing that of the alliance headquarters president.
This is what happens within the system; it's good to have a powerful backer.
Normally nothing happens, but the more others are unhappy, the more excited Lu Yu becomes.
but now……
After his ex-husband finished collecting all the evolution materials for the Paper Knight, he became quite eager to try it out, since he needed to prepare some trump cards before entering the ruins.
He was also very curious about what level the paper knight, born from the imagination of the two ecological masters' offspring, could reach after its transformation.
He was initially worried about what excuse to use to get rid of these guys, figuring out that even going to the toilet would be easier with the help of a powerful figure, but unexpectedly...
The lowly saintess delivered herself right to my doorstep!
Thus, under the guise of spending time with her, Lu Yu successfully escaped the surveillance of many powerful figures and rightfully opened the Dark Canopy, using [Destiny's Protection] to shield all perception.
Let alone an ancient giant, even an ecosystem master cannot see what's inside unless it's destroyed.
What do you think Lu Yu is doing?
Of course, it's something I love to do!
"Young people just like to spend time together!"
As they watched Lu Yu depart, many human leaders wore expressions of ambiguity and nostalgia, for they all liked to spend more time together when they were young.
However, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Yu, who was too naive to even approach the Thorn Saintess. He might have had a great time at first, but he would have to pay the price later.
Those from other races or monster factions felt uncomfortable.
The two guys I hate the most have actually gotten together.
The leader of the Heart-Stealing Locust Clan had a cold look in his eyes, yet he was powerless to do anything about Lu Yu.
On the other hand, in order to prevent some bored True Kings from casting their gazes, Lu Yu decided to go to the void to make skill secret food.
So he first threw the saintess into the void gate. Although no one would bother him, he was just being cautious and ordered Little Spider, Paper Knight, Egg, and Red Hare to guard outside and notify him if anything happened.
"I think I forgot someone... Oh well, it probably doesn't matter."
Lu Yu muttered to himself, took a step into the void, and then saw the Holy Maiden's warm welcome.
A coy act!
Using this to test cadres?!
Just then, a furry head suddenly popped out of his pocket; it was Mouse.
Curious, it asked telepathically, "Xiu Ren, what is she doing? Is she trying to lure you into a trap?"
God the hell is luring you into a trap!
This idiom is now even being used by people using idioms, concise yet evocative.
The term "urn" originally refers to a type of porcelain vessel with a small mouth and a large belly, while the saintess's figure, with its rings of thorns, is said to expel impurities from her body and continuously evolve towards a form suitable for reproduction.
This isn't simply about being big and fat; it means being slim where you should be and curvy where you should be. With targeted training, your hip curves are defined, making you look like a delicate porcelain beauty.
Moreover, because of its unique craftsmanship, this type of porcelain is quite elastic. When dropped on the ground, it will bounce back and absorb shock. Most importantly, it has a strong water retention capacity, making it suitable for flower arranging and a rare work of art.
Even raising fish or turtles would be nice...
"Ahem, I'm not a sitting duck."
Lu Yu coughed lightly, then suddenly realized what was happening. He looked at the hamster in his pocket and asked telepathically:
"When did you get into my pocket?"
Since receiving the truth, this hamster has become increasingly less noticeable, and I've even overlooked it several times.
If this continues, it will truly become a case of existence being ignored.
"I've been here the whole time, and you haven't responded to me when I've talked to you several times," the mouse protested, feeling that Xiu Ren was becoming increasingly indifferent to her.
Sure enough, once a man gets something, he doesn't know how to cherish it!
Thinking of this, the mouse hugged itself with its paws, raised its head, turned around, and looked like it didn't want to talk to anyone.
He's keeping quiet and sulking, letting Xiu Ren see what he's doing!
This time, if I don't produce fifty bags... no, a hundred bags of potato chips,
There's absolutely no way to appease them!
Then, Lu Yu grabbed it by the neck, opened a small hole in the void, and threw it out, where it slid across the ground...
It rolled around a few times!
"Heartless cultivators!!"
The mouse got up cursing and dusted itself off. It was about to complain to Spider Sister, but the moment it raised its head, its pupils shrank to pinpoints, and it was so frightened that its fur stood on end.
"This...this..."
The world as seen through the mouse's eyes is incredibly dark.
The little spider stood quietly in place, the blindfold that suppressed its spirituality moving without wind, while the Void Beings behind it [Law of the Beast - Void Weaving Heaven] operated, forcibly weaving a special domain.
Above its head, a twisted, chaotic spider shadow crawled out, with countless spider legs extending out, constantly drawing black mist from its body, turning it into raw materials for silk threads that intertwined and wove together.
Whether it's Paper Knight, Egg, or Red Hare, they've all quietly distanced themselves, not wanting to provoke its bad luck.
"Spider Sister looks terrifying like this!!"
The mouse trembled, sensing the overwhelming negative emotions contained within, including jealousy, greed, and anger...
So it promptly lay down and quickly rolled away, but halfway there it was swatted away by Egg, who was stretching.
The little spider didn't speak, it just stared silently at the empty coordinates where its master had left. It didn't know either...
Why am I like this?
From birth, the little spider has never left its owner. Whether eating or sleeping, it is always by its owner's side, making it very happy.
Its owner is its whole world!
The thought of its owner possibly being taken away by someone else makes it unable to suppress its destructive urges.
The little spider knew this wasn't good, and it hated itself because it annoyed its owner. So, it silently withdrew these negative emotions, wove them into silk threads, and silently endured them.
In this way, the owner will always see only the energetic little spider that brings him joy!
o(*▽*)o
However, the little spider didn't notice that the overwhelming negative emotions, after being woven into threads, began to gather together, gradually compress, and start to merge with the laws of the [Virtual Heaven]...
On the other side, after dealing with the rats, Lu Yu looked at Jiang Ji and, recalling her previous evasive attitude, said calmly:
"Your Highness, aren't you going to explain yourself?"
"I was wrong!" The lowly saintess buried her head like an ostrich.
The dragon appears only briefly, its head and tail never seen, while she is the opposite.
She knew Lu Yu liked to argue with stubborn girls, so she immediately softened her stance and tried to get lenient treatment.
Snapped!
Lu Yu was both amused and annoyed. He slapped away the thorny vines that the Holy Maiden had secretly tried to entwine, and countless dark green plant saps carrying the fragrance of grass and trees splashed out, overwhelming Jiang Ji with absolute power.
"pain!"
Jiang Ji's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face silently. To avoid making a sound, she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain, continuing the battle.
However, they were completely overwhelmed and unable to escape.
Lu Yu seemed to be getting a little carried away with the beating. After striking a few more times, he felt he couldn't go too far, so he reached out and touched his wound, saying softly, "Tell me, what exactly do you want? Are you looking for some sisters to share the hardships with?"
"..."
Jiang Ji understood immediately. Her eyes, already fogged up, became even more blurry, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Although she's a fast-paced, mature woman online, she's actually a pushover in real life.
Lu Yu guessed that it might be related to her childhood experiences; she lacked her own opinions, preferred to follow orders, and enjoyed being controlled.
This provides a sense of security.
However, looking at the silent Jiang Ji, he asked suspiciously, "Or... do you have some strange quirk, a natural inclination to be the victim?"
"No way!" the saintess retorted immediately, insisting she wasn't such a strange person, and whispered:
"I just feel... I'm not good enough for you, you deserve better."
"That's true!" Lu Yu nodded in agreement. Indeed, outstanding people cannot be hidden.
Jiang Ji was speechless, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Just as she was feeling downcast, Lu Yu touched her other large head, which was bald, soothing the wounds left from the battle, and said softly, "Does it hurt?"
Her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze quietly entering the heart.
At this moment, Jiang Ji thought about the past few days. In order to stand in front of him as soon as possible, she worked tirelessly day and night, endured wind and rain, and faced the pain with optimism. Only now has she received a response.
The pent-up grievances in my heart erupted at this moment!
"Let me go!"
She whispered, twisting her waist, trying to break free from his large hand, but afraid that the movement would be too big and make Lu Yu misunderstand that she disliked him.
Hesitation only leads to defeat, making Jiang Ji's actions appear more like a provocation.
Gudong!
Lu Yu's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he suddenly thought of a question from the art department:
Thorns, it seems, can also bloom and can be used to create floral art pieces?
Lu Yu didn't really understand either, but as an upright and honest man, he kept his eyes fixed on the white sun ahead, silently praying while occasionally correcting himself.
Don't get off track!
If the proper position is not established and the correct ritual is not performed, it can easily form a solar black hole, unleashing terrifying suction that could cause the deaths of billions of lives.
As for Jiang Ji, he had his back to the sun, his eyes closed, and he didn't want to speak.
I have made the same preparations as last time.
hum!
However, at this moment, pure white light shone in Lu Yu's hand, and he began to heal the injuries on the surface of her skin. As for the internal injuries, there was no need to worry.
After all, the Thorn Saintess herself possesses powerful self-healing abilities.
"Eek..."
Jiang Ji's face flushed red instantly, realizing she had misunderstood. However, a tingling sensation surged through her, causing her to close her legs, while her wide white saintess robe drooped down.
It has gained a touch of holiness and disorder!
Humans love to whitewash filth and drag holiness into filth.
"This man is truly wicked to the core."
Jiang Ji turned her head, looking at Lu Yu's teasing gaze, her heart filled with resentment. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yu interrupted her, saying:
"I am not an object that you can pass around. Just as I respect you, you must also respect me."
"Since you don't want to make our relationship public, I won't force you. But I hope that when we're together, we're happy, so that we won't have too many regrets when we look back." "There's no such thing as being worthy or not, only whether you care or not, whether you like someone or not, that's all. After all, you are indeed more adorable than last time."
Lu Yu's words were calm, yet they acknowledged everything she had done and expressed respect, causing Jiang Ji's heart to completely break down.
At that moment, she realized that Lu Yu was not satisfied with merely controlling her body, but also wanted to control her soul and will.
Love is the most powerful magic of control!
Although she knew everything, Jiang Ji didn't want to resist. Even if it was a lie, as long as Lu Yu didn't expose it himself, she would find an excuse to fill the void herself.
People who lack love will want to repay even the slightest bit of warmth from others a hundredfold or a thousandfold, even to the point of giving their hearts away.
only……
This scoundrel has already started to rip out his heart; in a physical sense, he hasn't hit the mark on the first try.
Pure white light flowed through his hands, blurring the distinction between skin and light.
"By the way...that looks like my skin..."
Overwhelmed by a multitude of emotions, Jiang Ji's mind began to drift. Looking at Lu Yu, who was relentlessly pouring his heart out, he whispered:
"I've decided not to go public for now. I want to prepare myself mentally first..."
After all, the greatness of Lu Yu is too terrifying, and it is absolutely impossible to let him go easily. Once the chaotic era reaches its peak, it may be the time to reap the rewards.
She wanted to try to use the projection of the sea of suffering to transfer the other person's pain to herself. If she succeeded, it would clear away the biggest obstacle for him before the arrival of the chaotic era.
There might be a chance for him to become king!
I'll consider these things if I survive that time.
If that doesn't work, let Akatsuki Yume stay with him!
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded perfunctorily, not caring whether the woman would make it public.
A mature man won't be bothered by women's affairs.
Jiang Ji thought he was angry, but not knowing how to explain, she could only whisper in his ear:
"I wore a saint's crown and the priest's robes, it was...it was a black crown."
Ok……
How thoughtful! They even know they come with a new skin!
Lu Yu's eyes lit up, but after a moment's thought, he said righteously, "What do you want to do?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Ji felt a surge of anger in her chest. This bastard man loved to play these double entendres. So, without turning her head, she said, "I remember the blessing on you is almost gone; you should replenish it."
After all, she was a saintess of the Thorn Church and wanted to maintain her last bit of dignity and pride.
But Lu Yu wouldn't give her that chance and asked the same question again.
In the end, Jiang Ji couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm, and under threat, she whispered two words.
Lu Yu laughed and stopped joking, after all, Jiang Ji's eyes were practically murderous.
So he began to discuss with the saint the supplements to the Thorn Ritual.
"The Lord of Thorns is indeed great!"
After understanding the doctrine, Lu Yu was amazed that such a great being cared about the suffering of all living beings.
So he reached out and pierced the shield of thorns, realizing the true meaning of suffering, which was...
If I don't go to hell, who will?
Crossing through hell is a difficult process.
Lu Yu and Jiang Ji exchanged their combat experiences over the past period and Lu Yu challenged Jiang Ji to a duel.
It turned out that the opponent had actually figured out "you have a way to die," and then used a new skill—Thorn Entanglement.
Even the sixty-eight-armed Heavenly Dragon Tree was almost defeated, but fortunately, it was finally crushed by the Great Sage Tree Spear, causing all of Jiang Ji's pets to be defeated.
After losing three matches, Jiang Ji wanted to leave, but Lu Yu understood that to deal with a girl with such low self-esteem, he had to first make her emotions fluctuate wildly, and then...
pedal!
Stand up and kick hard!
Several hours later, Lu Yu's Saintess Blessing was replenished. Under the cleansing of the boundless thorn energy, combined with the accumulation brought by the Celestial Breath after his advancement, and a Soul Fruit, he successfully broke through to the high-level of Radiant Moon.
boom!
The spiritual energy surged once more, and the spiritual moon in the Beast Taming Space expanded again, shining brightly.
It would scare a bunch of kids if you took it out.
"Jiang Ji, you really are my lucky star!"
Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised, and then looked at Jiang Ji who was silently drying her clothes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"What are you laughing at!" Jiang Ji glared angrily, wanting to get up and attack the other side to regain his lost face, but because his legs were weak, he could only slump on the ground.
Lu Yu said with a smile, "I'm just amazed that thorns actually have a high water content, no wonder they can grow so tenaciously in the Gobi Desert and mountain forests."
"It must be said that the thorn forest is indeed a more unique landscape than the sea."
"..."
Although Lu Yu spoke very seriously, Jiang Ji couldn't help but glance at the clothes that were drying and the two wet saintess crowns, feeling that the other party was implying something about her.
However, this man was indeed a beast; in a pet battle, he shaved her head, resulting in a complete defeat for him.
If Lu Yu hadn't shown mercy in the end, he probably wouldn't have even been able to become withdrawn.
However, Jiang Ji was still unconvinced. Why was she, as the saintess of the Thorn Church, so humiliated?
Could it be that the church has some secret technique that it's hiding from us?
next time……
Next time, I'll definitely get rid of the "small fry" nickname!
Lu Yu did not continue to persecute the Holy Maiden, but instead began to inquire about matters concerning the Thorn Ecosystem.
Distinguishing whether a religious order is top-tier is not simply a matter of the strength of its deities.
Rather, it is whether a great being can use its own ecological radiation to open up an ecological world and grant believers access to it.
After all, no matter how powerful a god is, if he never bestows blessings, believers are like horses that haven't eaten grass—they simply can't run.
Here we must severely criticize the taboos against the sun and the mother of dusk!
As the Archbishop of Twilight, he had never received any favors; these two were far too stingy.
Within the realm of the gods, countless powerful beings reside, including many rare beasts found only in the main world. These beasts may have large populations thriving and multiplying within their respective realms, making them available for believers to form contracts with.
As for the reason... it's because the great being who occupies the source of the rules, even if only a portion of the rules is left behind, is enough to generate a large number of environments that the mortal world cannot form.
In the past, some lucky individuals even obtained divine substances within, allowing their pets to transform into divine beings that were close to the followers of powerful evil gods.
There are many opportunities.
However, the gods in this world have never been very normal, because they don't have a high demand for faith, which means that believers are just tools for spreading the ecosystem in their eyes.
Tools can only be used effectively if they are honed and survived.
Therefore, the mortality rate remains high!
Lu Yu inquired primarily to collect divine matter and superior beings, to increase livestock on his ranch, and to complete the second grazing concept.
The first time, they all gave me the bugged ability of [The Law of Fallacy].
What will they give us the second time?
Lu Yu was very much looking forward to it.
Jiang Ji shook his head and said, "The Pope mentioned to me that once you reach the peak of Morning Star, you can enter freely. But for some reason, the suffering of countless worlds in the Mother River has increased dramatically in recent years, to ten or even a hundred times that of the past."
Although our lord's authority has been strengthened, correspondingly, due to the excessive nutrients, the thorns have grown too vigorously, and the life within has become even more powerful. At least a high-level Radiant Moon Realm cultivator is required to enter.
"The anomaly of the myriad worlds?" Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, he realized that one of the two worlds he had experienced was related to the Toad Ancestor, and the other was transformed by the great supernatural power of the Disease Realm.
Indeed... it has been fraught with disasters.
Jiang Ji originally wanted to say that the number of small worlds has always been almost infinite, constantly being created and destroyed. Even if the Mother River created more, in theory, it shouldn't have caused such a sudden surge in suffering.
This is already starting to look abnormal.
It is highly likely that some top-level worlds or even the main world have changed, and a large number of high-dimensional beings have undergone simultaneous mutations, which is why this kind of influence exists.
Anyway, it's impossible to go to other main worlds, and it's just a guess, so there's no point in saying it, it'll only cause more trouble.
However, Jiang Ji thought of something else and reminded him, "If you are interested in the ecological realm, there is news within the Thorn Church that in a while, the ecological realm of a certain ancient god may descend to the mortal world."
"The ecosystem of the Old Gods?" Lu Yu was surprised, and then he learned the whole story from Jiang Ji's explanation.
As is well known, the reason why the Great Mother of the Propagation Moon dared to risk her advancement was because she knew that most of the high-end combat power above the giants within the Thorn Church was tied up.
Adding to this, the sudden arrival of the Moon of Annihilation rendered all divination and predictions ineffective, plunging the Alliance into chaos.
The timing, location, and people were all perfect, but unfortunately...
I ran into Lu Yu!
Otherwise, she could have easily gotten away with it and made a perfect exit.
The reason they held back the Thorn Church was because they discovered a lost world that was gradually connecting with the main world and beginning to descend.
A complete world represents a vast amount of resources.
This naturally attracted many powerful forces to compete for it!
But as they fought to the end, someone discovered that the surface of this mysterious world was covered with thick layers of historical dust. According to several top historians, it is highly likely to be an ecosystem left behind by an ancient god.
It seems that, drawn by the spiritual tides of a chaotic era, it has broken free from the shackles of historical dust and is returning to the present world.
Although there was no apparent return of the old god, people were unsure whether He had completely perished.
This turned the world from a treasure trove into a blind box.
It could reveal divine authority and the remaining legacy of the old gods. Alternatively, it could be a deliberate trap, gathering offerings needed for a return.
"Although most of the forces, including the Thorn Church, have retreated, we are keeping a close eye on this realm of the ancient gods. If they can truly descend to the mortal world, even if some ancient gods resurrect, they will be suppressed by the will of the main world. Although it will be dangerous, the chances of survival are not small. Compared to the rewards, it is enough to make many people take the risk." Jiang Ji said, then reminded them, "Currently, only major powers know this information. If you want to go, I will keep an eye on it for you, but the prerequisite is that you must have the combat power of a giant, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Having connections in high places makes things much easier!
This kind of high-level information is something that ordinary people would never have access to, but now the saintess is giving it to him for free.
Lu Yu nodded in agreement.
Next, Jiang Ji stayed in the void to recover, while Lu Yu used the excuse of testing his strength to go to the depths of the void.
The forbidden authority is his most fundamental secret, which he will not tell anyone, not even his pets, let alone Jiang Ji.
This can be considered a form of protection for her!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at the boundless void and silently recited in his heart:
"Next, it's time to prepare the Eclipse's evolutionary secret food!"
