From Mortal Body to Immortality

Tianlan Star System, one of the six major star systems of the Human Federation, is also the star system where Apocalypse Star is located.

Standing on Space Orbital Station No. 128 of the Tianlan Star System, in a white mech that was hundreds of meters tall, Lu Sheng felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

“Back then, I also arrived at Galaxy University from this space orbital station, and cultivated in the School of Life for nearly ten years.”

“Ten years, this space orbital station remains the same, but I don’t know if Apocalypse Star has changed.”

Lu Sheng stood on Space Orbital Station No. 128, looking towards the direction of Apocalypse Star.

“I have returned to the Tianlan Star System, where shall we meet later?”

Lu Sheng asked.

Before the School of Life's Grand Competition, Chen Moyun had sent a message to Lu Sheng, wanting Lu Sheng to come back.

Now that Lu Sheng had arrived in the Tianlan Star System, he naturally wanted to see what Chen Moyun wanted to say to him.

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, a hint of joy appeared on Chen Moyun's face: “You're back?”

“I'm waiting for you at the Chen family in Tianji Star City!”

Lu Sheng nodded, then hung up the phone.

Previously, in the messages Chen Moyun sent to Lu Sheng, he had always been hesitant, and Lu Sheng wanted to know what the reason was that made Chen Moyun want to call him back.

Afterwards, Lu Sheng piloted the Imprint of All Living Things, transforming into a white streak, and entered the coordinates of Apocalypse Star.

“Activate lightspeed flight mode!”

Lu Sheng instructed.

“Activating lightspeed flight mode for you—

“Three!

3

“Ready!”

The voice of the Imprint of All Living Things' spirit resounded within the Imprint of All Living Things' internal space.

In the next moment, the Imprint of All Living Things directly transformed into a white radiance, instantly streaking towards the direction of Apocalypse Star.

Apocalypse Star, Tianji Star City.

The Zhutian Star Array enveloped the entire Tianji Star City, simulating the scene of sunrise and sunset.

Suddenly, a deep voice suddenly exploded within Tianji Star City.

“A fifth-order expert's aura has been detected outside Apocalypse Star!”

“Received the other party's landing request, destination located at—Tianji Star City!”

Accompanying this voice, within Tianji Star City, the City Lord's Mansion, the Garrison, and even the Chen family, figures soared into the air.

One fourth-order expert after another exuded a powerful aura, intertwined between heaven and earth.

Chen Moyun's figure also appeared among the crowd, everyone's expression was somewhat puzzled.

“A fifth-order expert's aura? What's going on? A fifth-order expert is about to descend on our Apocalypse Star?”

The general of the Tianji Star City Garrison said in a deep voice, with a hint of doubt and solemnity in his words.

Fifth-order, that was a realm that only the guardian of Apocalypse Heavy Industries, who guarded Apocalypse Star, had entered.

As for them—they were all uniformly fourth-order.

“What is a fifth-order expert doing descending on our Tianji Star City? Could it be that our Tianji Star City has something that attracts the other party?”

The City Lord of Tianji Star City couldn't help but speak.

The Chen family's several fourth-order martial artists looked at each other, unable to understand why the other party would land in Tianji Star City.

Only Chen Moyun's face flashed with a hint of doubt: “A fifth-order expert? Could it be Lu Sheng? No, impossible, how long has it been, how could Lu Sheng possibly break through to the fifth-order?”

“Could it be—”

Chen Moyun's heart trembled slightly, and a feeling of unease welled up in his heart.

“Forget it, regardless, a fifth-order expert is landing in our Tianji Star City, we must treat them well,

otherwise, our entire Apocalypse Star may not be able to contend against the other party!”

In the end, the City Lord of Tianji Star City waved his hand, finalizing the plan.

“Everyone, follow me to welcome this fifth-order expert!”

The City Lord slowly spoke, leading everyone to the sky above Tianji Star City, opening the Zhutian Star Array, and looking towards the direction outside Apocalypse Star.

Soon, a streak of white light entered everyone's vision.

The speed was so fast that the moment they had just discovered that streak of white light, the next moment it directly appeared in everyone's vision.

“What fast speed!!”

The crowd was slightly startled, even Chen Moyun's face revealed a hint of surprise.

Immediately afterwards, a white mech that was a full hundred meters tall appeared in everyone's vision. The mech exuded a powerful aura, and just this aura alone made all the fourth-order transcendents of Tianji Star City tremble in their hearts.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, the City Lord of Tianji Star City hurriedly bowed respectfully to the white mech.

“Apocalypse Star, City Lord of Tianji Star City, Wu Xiao, greets Your Excellency!”

Behind him, regardless of whether it was the general of the Tianji Star City Garrison, or the Chen family's fourth-order transcendents, or even Chen Moyun, they all bowed slightly to the white mech.

Although Chen Moyun was a student of Galaxy University, and his current cultivation had reached the late stage of the fourth-order, he still had to give due respect when facing a fifth-order expert.

However, in the next moment, a smiling voice came from within the white mech.

“Chen Moyun, don't you recognize me?”

As the voice fell, the hatch of the white mech slowly opened, and Lu Sheng's figure also appeared in everyone's vision.

“Lu Sheng!!”

Looking at Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun's face immediately revealed a hint of surprise.

Not only Chen Moyun, but the other fourth-order transcendents of Tianji Star City, at this moment, revealed even more shock.

They all knew Lu Sheng, after all, Chen Moyun and Lu Sheng had both entered the top 10,000 in the college entrance examination in Lu Sheng's class.

Regardless of whether it was Chen Moyun or Lu Sheng, their reputation in Apocalypse Star was still very great.

“It's actually Lu Sheng!!”

“The fifth-order transcendent that the Zhutian Star Array's spirit mentioned just now is Lu Sheng???”

“Hiss!”

Sounds of gasping for air rang out, especially from the Chen family's several transcendents.

When Chen Moyun returned previously, displaying his cultivation in the late stage of the fourth-order, made the Chen family's transcendents ecstatic, and he was hailed as the Chen family's number one pride.

They even believed that Chen Moyun was the number one genius of Apocalypse Star, but now Lu Sheng's return instantly shattered Chen Moyun's previous reputation.

For a time, the faces of the Chen family's fourth-order transcendents revealed embarrassment.

Lu Sheng also directly exchanged pleasantries with Chen Moyun. After a while, Chen Moyun looked at Lu Sheng, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

“You guy—you're becoming more and more perverted, you've already become a fifth-order Undying Realm martial artist.”

Chen Moyun was somewhat emotional.

He had only cultivated to the late stage of the fourth-order in the School of Bloody Battles in less than ten years, and this speed of cultivation could be called a genius, but compared to Lu Sheng, it seemed like nothing.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly, without saying anything, he just transmitted his voice softly: “Those messages you sent me before.”

Chen Moyun instantly reacted.

The two looked at each other, Lu Sheng declined the banquet prepared by the City Lord of Tianji Star City, and directly arrived at the Chen family with Chen Moyun.

After returning to the Chen family, Chen Moyun brought Lu Sheng to a secret room in the Chen family.

This wasn't the end, after entering the secret room, Chen Moyun checked around again, confirming that there were no recording devices, and also confirming that there was no one around the secret room, before Chen Moyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Chen Moyun's vigilant appearance, Lu Sheng increasingly felt that the matter Chen Moyun was about to tell him was extraordinary, and asked.

“So what exactly is the matter?”

Lu Sheng's expression was also slightly solemn.

Being able to make Chen Moyun so cautious, it could be seen how big this matter was.

Chen Moyun sat in front of Lu Sheng, and after a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth: “There are two things I called you back for this time.”

“The students in the School of Bloody Battles I am in must carry out a mandatory mission every year. The mandatory mission I received this time is to return to Apocalypse Star, investigate and resolve an out-of-control Divine Aberration that suddenly appeared on the surface of Apocalypse Star, so I want to ask you to come back and help me.”

Listening to Chen Moyun's words, Lu Sheng didn't speak, but quietly waited for Chen Moyun to continue.

If it was just to help complete the task, there was no need to solemnly inform Lu Sheng of his return beforehand.

There must be other things!

Sure enough, Chen Moyun continued, "This is not the most important thing. The main thing is—"

"I've noticed that the death rate of students in the Blood Battle Faction is somewhat abnormal. As a faction within the front lines, student deaths are normal, but the death rate of the Blood Battle Faction is ridiculously high."

"Even—I've discovered that the causes of death of some senior students in the Blood Battle Faction are also a bit strange."

"But the overall death rate of the faction is so high, I can't imagine who could do it. Coupled with the mandatory mission requirements, I suspect—the problem lies with my mentor, Feng Changchun!"

Upon hearing this, even Lu Sheng's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Feng Changchun! A mentor of the Blood Battle Faction!

And one of the seventh-order powerhouses of Galaxy University!

Lu Sheng didn't expect Chen Moyun to be so direct, directly stating his suspicion of Feng Changchun.

For a moment, even Lu Sheng fell into silence.

But Chen Moyun continued at this time: "I suspect that Feng Changchun is harvesting the lives of Blood Battle Faction students to improve himself. Otherwise, the Blood Battle Faction is a faction with a seventh-order mentor sitting in charge, there's no reason why it hasn't even produced a sixth-order student in so many years."

"If my suspicion is true, then Feng Changchun is very likely to bring a Transcendent Cataclysm to Galaxy University!"

When the words 'Transcendent Cataclysm' came out of Chen Moyun's mouth, Lu Sheng's hand holding the water glass couldn't help but tremble, and the water in the glass shook out, dripping onto the ground.

"Transcendent Cataclysm—."

Lu Sheng's eyes lost focus for a moment.

When Lu Sheng was still in school, he had learned about Transcendent Cataclysms.

The so-called Transcendent Cataclysm refers to the transcendents within the Human Federation, in pursuit of greater strength,

longer lifespans, recklessly improving themselves, bringing major disasters to the entire planet, the entire star system, and even the entire Human Federation.

Historically, there have been several occurrences of Transcendent Cataclysms, and each time a Transcendent Cataclysm descended, the Human Federation suffered heavy losses.

"Transcendent Cataclysm, huh?"

Lu Sheng's eyes drooped slightly, but there was an unusual glimmer flickering in his eyes.

"In the past, I couldn't understand what a Transcendent Cataclysm was, but now that I'm already at the fifth order, I can roughly understand the thoughts of those transcendents who have lost their original intentions."

Lu Sheng's expression was slightly complicated.

The instinct of transcendents is to constantly become stronger, to pursue the leap of life, the evolution of life.

But if this instinct gradually occupies the rationality of the transcendent, then this transcendent will also face being out of control.

The transcendent's loss of control—

If it's just a transcendent below the fourth order, that's fine, but if it's a fourth-order transcendent, or even a fifth order…

It's terrifying.

Not to mention anything else, just Lu Sheng, with his current strength, coupled with Imprint of All Living Things, wanting to destroy the entire Apocalypse Star, turning Apocalypse Star into a scorched earth, would only take three days to do.

Not to mention those sixth-order, or even seventh-order, transcendents whose strength is even more terrifying than Lu Sheng's.

Chen Moyun said that Feng Changchun might bring a Transcendent Cataclysm. If it's true—

Lu Sheng even couldn't help but shudder at this moment. Just how terrifying is the strength of a seventh-order transcendent?

Lu Sheng doesn't know.

But what Lu Sheng knows is—even himself, or even his several sixth-order senior brothers and sisters,

are probably just babbling infants in front of the seventh-order Gu Mo.

Calling them infants is even a bit of an exaggeration.

If it's true—

Then the damage caused will be on the order of hundreds of billions of casualties.

Lu Sheng fell silent. He didn't expect Chen Moyun to tell him such a big thing.

So big that Lu Sheng didn't know how to deal with it. In the secret room, the two fell into silence.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Chen Moyun took the lead in breaking the silence between the two.

Chen Moyun's tone was a bit bitter: "I originally wanted to report this matter directly to Galaxy University, but—but that Feng Changchun is, after all, a seventh-order transcendent, and I'm just suspecting, without any substantial evidence."

"Even if I report this matter, it won't attract the attention of Galaxy University. After all, Feng Changchun made many friends when he fought on the front lines of the star system in the past, and his connections are very extensive. It could easily be suppressed."

"And I—will also be discovered by Feng Changchun, perhaps turning into a speck of dust in the universe."

Lu Sheng understood Chen Moyun's words very well.

Seventh-order powerhouses are a valuable asset to Galaxy University, and even the Human Federation. Mere suspicion will not cause Galaxy University to take action against a seventh-order transcendent.

Even—even if there is evidence here, it would be difficult to deal with a seventh-order transcendent in a short period of time.

"So I strongly suspect that those senior brothers and sisters in the Blood Battle Faction who suddenly died suddenly, are they also like me, discovering something wrong with Feng Changchun or the entire Blood Battle Faction, and when they wanted to expose it—were discovered and dealt with by Feng Changchun."

As he spoke, Chen Moyun suddenly looked at Lu Sheng, his eyes filled with a hint of madness. He grabbed Lu Sheng's collar and said, "Lu Sheng! I don't have any good friends in the Blood Battle Faction. In the entire Galaxy University, the only one who can help me is you!"

"Next, I will investigate Feng Changchun and the Blood Battle Faction carefully. Keep this matter a secret for me,

If one day, you find that I suddenly die, then—then no matter what the reason, it must be Feng Changchun who took action!"

"At that time—you help me, report it to Galaxy University, how about it?"

There was a hint of pleading in Chen Moyun's voice.

Lu Sheng fell silent. This matter was too big, so big that it was not something that a fourth-order like Chen Moyun, or even himself, a fifth-order transcendent, could solve.

Let alone something that he and Chen Moyun could get involved in. Once involved, no one could say for sure what would happen next.

But looking at Chen Moyun's appearance—Lu Sheng sighed slightly in his heart.

"Forget it, agree to it. After returning to the Life Faction, first tell this matter to Senior Sister,

This is already the limit of what I can do."

"How could I possibly participate in something involving a seventh-order powerhouse?"

Lu Sheng smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, met Chen Moyun's gaze, and nodded in agreement.

"I can agree to you, but this matter is too big. You still shouldn't continue to investigate. This matter is not something you can get involved in."

Lu Sheng prepared to persuade Chen Moyun.

Since he felt that something was wrong with the Blood Battle Faction, then he should be more careful. At worst, he could directly change factions or leave Galaxy University.

Why bother stubbornly investigating these things?

Perhaps seeing the thoughts in Lu Sheng's heart, Chen Moyun paused, and then, the determined look in his eyes did not change.

"Do you know why I want to go to the Blood Battle Faction?"

Lu Sheng shook his head. He previously thought that Chen Moyun was because he was suitable for the atmosphere of the Blood Battle Faction, but now it seems that something is wrong.

Chen Moyun slowly said: "Many of our Chen family members who were admitted to Galaxy University entered the Blood Battle Faction to study."

"Even my father was a student of the Blood Battle Faction."

"Before entering the Blood Battle Faction, I originally thought that my father's death was just due to a normal mission, but—but after I discovered everything wrong with it."

"You tell me—"

Chen Moyun gave Lu Sheng a miserable smile.

"You tell me, would I still think that my father's death—was really a normal death?"

"Those clansmen of my Chen family—were they really normal deaths too?"
