Ascension

The Second Era of the Neozoic Era, Year 4320.

Juexian came out of retreat and officially entered the state of saintly perfection.

It has not learned any new skills, and in recent times, it seems to have hit some kind of creative bottleneck.

Xiaoguagua calls it "accumulation."

By accumulating inspiration from different elements over a long period of time, when the time is right, if one can compose a unique song that will be passed down through the ages, wouldn't that be more inspiring to the heart of the piano than a bunch of extreme skills?

And then - another 50 years passed.

The dilapidated Western Yi Kingdom was completely transformed and renamed the "Kingdom of the Gray Sun". From then on, it became an important base for Lord Ye Han.

Of course, there is no ruler here.

Only a few side branches of the original royal family survived, and they no longer enjoyed the public's recognition of their appeal or influence.

The highly respected Lord Ye Han could only divide the country into seven continents, selecting a respected saint as governor for each continent to implement different management policies.

In the central area surrounded by the seven continents, the original royal palace area, the Gray Sun Temple was further expanded.

It is connected to the lightning nest deep in the earth. The seven sword thunder grasses are both guardians and witnesses.

The believers who come to worship will not only worship the God of Gray Sun, but also the Sword Thunder Grass, in order to remember the God of Thunder Sword who attained enlightenment here.

Then, around the year 4450, the Grey Sun Kingdom welcomed two “little cuties”.

In the private training area on the underground floor of the temple, the strong Goose Immortal hugged another oddly shaped bird, tears welling up in his eyes:

"Okay, okay, Lao Sha, you're finally here!"

"After traveling with the caravan for these years, you have finally cultivated the bloodline of a sacred beast. It is worth it that I always think of you!"

"Ahh! Brother! Be gentle!"

The big fat bird being hugged had a shark's head, white crane's wings, and eagle's claws.

Its wingspan is actually 300 meters, but when it is with the goose fairy, it is as weak as an unloved little wife.

"Hahaha, hugging is a romantic thing that only male birds understand!"

"This great immortal has been following the human master for these years, traveling around various caves and blessed places. Unconsciously, the sea has changed and the situation has changed..."

The goose fairy patted the feathers of the "Giant Shark Eagle" and swept his fierce eyes up and down. He was satisfied at first, and then proudly said:
"Not bad, the silly look from before has finally been worn off!"

"Giant shark, giant shark, your shark head should have a strong bite force, right? I will take you to special training later. It just so happens that the sword thunder grass at the door is quite warlike. I have never seen your type. You will definitely gain a lot if you practice with them!"

"Ah?"

The shark head of the giant shark eagle swayed back and forth, and its eyes were panicked and said:

"At the door? The seven sword grasses?"

"They have the attribute of thunder, and they are the descendants of the gods. Old Shark can't defeat them..."

"If we can beat them, can it still be called special training?!"

The immortal Goose raised his head and said with great pride:

"To be honest, my brother's dream is already halfway accomplished!"

“When big brother attains enlightenment and is deified, and becomes the Overlord of the Feathered God of Heaven, and his Battle God Nest becomes famous throughout the nine seas, then Old Sha, you, the second Sha, will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility!”

"How can you do that with just your current state of being the Supreme Saint?"

"Brother, here you can eat and drink, as well as a lot of natural treasures."

"If you want to eat as much as you want and achieve the best absorption effect, you have to fight day after day - bathing in blood, this is also the romance of male birds!"

"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to my Third Brother E, Fourth Brother Jin, and Fifth Brother Jin later."

"Your Third Brother, although he has to serve the demigod of the Succubus clan on a daily basis, he has already reached the highest level of saintliness. You should strive to emulate him."

"As for the fourth and fifth brothers, they are a pair of Golden Crow brothers. They are very strong and work very hard."

"They are now rebuilding their home in the Solar Abyss. The damage caused by the previous invasion of the Yuanshen has kept them very busy..."

"Ah! Ahh!"

The giant shark eagle was under great pressure. Beads of sweat appeared on its hard shark head. It said awkwardly:
"Brother, if that's the case, then Old Shark is the worst?"

"Why don't Old Shark take the initiative to become the youngest of the sharks? It's not comfortable to be the second brother..."

"Alas! That's wrong!"

Goose Fairy is carefree, let it relax:
"Your bloodline is the weakest, but you evolved from a silly sculpture to a silly sculpture, then from a silly sculpture to a shark sculpture, and finally to the current giant shark sculpture. You are in the same Saint Clan, so why should you be timid?"

"Even if it's hard for you to catch up with your brothers now, once I've achieved enlightenment, I'll grant you the most fundamental blood of the gods and guarantee that I'll train you to the level of the king of sacred beasts!"

"Then... then Old Shark, keep working hard..."

The giant shark eagle wiped off the sweat with the wings of a white crane, and its legs trembled slightly, as if it was worried about the hardships and tribulations in the future.

the other side.

Ye Hanjun and Gua Gua stared at the huge monster in front of them with dull eyes for five minutes.

What the hell is this...

Cows and horses are originally very ordinary and weak species.

It is perhaps only slightly surprising that the bull-horse that helped mutate when it was young could evolve into a "six-legged bull-horse".

Later, it evolved into an "eight-legged ox and horse", which even Ye Hanjun found eye-opening.

Later, it ascended to the womb of heaven and earth, and was said to have evolved into a "sixteen-legged ox and horse". Ye Hanjun's brain froze for a moment, as it was really difficult to imagine its specific form and structure.

Now... ascending to the Holy Womb...

These long legs are so densely packed that they are covered with chicken feathers. They are so creepy...

"Eh! This is incredible! This is the most bizarre of all!"

"If you split the 12-legged ox and horse, there would be six-legged oxen. I am dazzled..."

"Moo! Moo! Moo!"

The beast with seventy-two legs, whose body was extremely narrow and long, shook its legs on both sides like a centipede, and then circled around Ye Hanjun and ran wildly.

It was so happy that it ran faster and faster, having fun like crazy.

When the raised hoof was lifted high and then stepped down heavily, the ground of the training ground actually resonated, and after a while, the dust lingered like fog.

"How...do you practice this?"

Ye Hanjun turned around and asked Su Mei, who was covering her mouth and laughing.

Li Jingming was standing next to Su Mei. He explained seriously:
"Over the years, thanks to Master Han's secret support, we have been able to improve our cultivation while expanding the scope of our business."

"The bloodlines of Lao Sha and Lao Liu are both very poor. It was not easy for them to grow into the embryo of heaven and earth."

“But later, there were more and more treasures, and as time went on, their growth exceeded everyone’s expectations.”

"That's right! The Shark Sculpture relied on the spiritual materials that Master Han sent over the years to reach the Holy Fetus!"

"Especially the legacy of destroying the Meng family a few years ago. This is the core support for it to transcend classes!"

Su Mei clenched her fists and said excitedly:
"Sixteen-legged ox and horse are different. It got lost for a while and didn't come back until many years later."

"I remember that it had a lot of bumps on its head and its legs were limping. It was seriously injured."

"After a while, after it recovered from its wounds, it became full of life and its growth rate skyrocketed."

"Even the Ascending Saint Fetus, it didn't encounter any difficult blood barrier. It rushed forward in one go. The number of its legs shocked us!"

"It gave me a big scare..."

"Let me try and see how seventy-two legs walk..."

Gua Gua, who was brave enough to challenge, blinked and immediately turned into the second 72-legged ox-horse.

It raised its hooves and just took a step, and its seventy-two legs began to move uncontrollably. It finally did thirty-six splits and collapsed on the ground in a very embarrassing manner.

"Oh my god, it's completely different from species like centipedes..."

"Big tadpole, this is the strangest life form I have ever transformed into. If I want to learn its behavior, I have to work hard..."

Gua Gua complained, and the light in his eyes didn't look like he was hit, but rather like he had found a new toy and was very happy.

"Moo? Moo??"

Old Six, who was spinning around madly, discovered his second self and gradually stopped running.

It tilted its huge head and looked at Gua Gua intently.

Then it seemed to remember something, howled happily twice, and suddenly gave up Ye Hanjun and ran after Gua Gua.

"Quack, Lao Liu is a barbarian sacred beast, and he doesn't seem to be very smart..."

"Whatever, big tadpole, we're going to go play, see you tonight!"

Guagua didn't know how to walk with seventy-two legs, so he just used his pair of front hooves to drag most of his body and crawl.

The real Lao Liu probably thought that his companion was about to die, so he stood beside him, licking him, and sniffing his nose, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"..."

Ye Hanjun rubbed his eyebrows and told himself to stay calm.

It only has seventy-two legs. There are also legends of mythical monsters with a hundred arms in the world. What does that matter?
What's more, no matter it is Lao Liu or Lao Sha.

Although he ascended to the holy fetus, he was nominally reborn.

But their skill panels are very poor. Not to mention the ultimate skills, they don’t even have anything close to the limit, and their competitiveness among the same tier tends to be at the lower end.

"Master Han, what are your plans next?" Su Mei approached with a sweet smile.

"Preaching."

Ye Hanjun cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and said with a smile:
"Now that the world is in turmoil, it is wishful thinking for the God Clan and the Saint Clan to protect themselves."

"The chambers of commerce, mercenaries, and assassin organizations that you run should continue to maintain their current pace and develop steadily."

"If there is a threat from the highest level, please inform me and I will be responsible for solving it."

"If everything goes well, Yeyin, Liuying, and I will also leave the Grey Sun Country and continue to expand the Grey Sun Cult."

"Master Han is about to challenge the crown?"

Su Mei, with bright eyes, asked with great anticipation.

"Maybe."

Ye Hanjun shook his head and answered ambiguously:
"The accumulation so far must be enough in terms of killing and fighting."

"The difficulty is still the Pioneer Cult Leader. Even with the help of ten of you, I am only vaguely approaching the barrier."

“Whether we can break through is still unknown.”

"Master Han, come on! You can do it!"

Su Mei believed it without a doubt:
"In the blink of an eye, you have guardian spirits all around you!"

"Even if the Dark Lantern Abyss is unsealed now, you will not be afraid of powerful enemies coming to attack. You will definitely make them unable to return!"

"No matter how chaotic the world is, you are the stabilizing force. It is impossible to stop you from becoming the strongest!"

"Just take it step by step."

Ye Hanjun did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

He had not yet told his disciples that there is a God above God and that this world is not as simple as they imagined.

This is also the reason why he does not act rashly now that he possesses the combat power of three gods.

What's the point of sweeping across the heavens? If you don't solve the Heavenly Lord, no matter how many achievements you make, it will be useless.

"Ok?"

Ye Hanjun spent a short while with his two disciples, then suddenly raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise on his face.

Whose breath is this?

Su Mei and Li Jingming are right in front of me.

Night Firefly and Night Hidden are also nearby.

Ren Wokuang, Dongfang Xu, Bai Qian, Lin Pingfan, and Wang Xinfei were too far away and their perception was blurry, but they could still vaguely locate them.

This is the tenth share, and it is particularly unfamiliar.

Could it be Yu Ruxin? Did she come out of the Flower God Valley? Was she moving towards him?

"Rumble..."

Ye Hanjun immediately activated the Gate of Holy War and tried to summon.

Instantly, the ancient stone gate stood up into the sky.

Through the eternal gray fog, there seemed to be a girl standing on the other side of the river, waving her slender arms in panic, as if she was startled by the sudden appearance of the gate.

"Master...are you summoning me?"

"I... I have a lot of friends here, so I can't go alone..."

After listening carefully, Ye Hanjun finally heard the thoughts of the former Taoist from the altar of faith.

Perhaps because of the distance, the prayer came to an abrupt end after just a few words.

Ye Hanjun stared at the slowly closing ancient stone door, ripples flashed across his eyes, and he murmured:

"It's really that girl Ruxin..."

"He can transmit thoughts from such a distance, his rank is not low, he may be a saint..."

"Friends? Are they the creatures of the Flower God Valley? Even they have chosen to come out into the world. The liveliness of this era is far greater than that of the same period in the Near Ancient Universe..."

"What happened?"

Gua Gua, who was learning how to walk with Lao Liu, noticed the movement here, changed back into his original form, and flew back in a flash.

After hearing Ye Hanjun's answer, it cheered, even happier than seeing Lao Liu and Lao Sha:

"The little shovel is coming back? That's great!"

"I miss her a lot, too. I want to live in her territory and take a bath with the magical herbs she grows... Big Tadpole, should we go pick her up? It's a remote place, and it will be troublesome if we run into bad guys!"

"Well, yes."

Ye Hanjun pondered for a few seconds and nodded:
"In five days, we will set off and leave the Grey Sun Country."

"Xu Xuan and the others have gone to look for the Space Stone. We can't use it to teleport for the time being."

"But it doesn't matter. Preaching along the way doesn't waste time."

"Great! I haven't seen Shovel for a long time. She must have changed a lot!"

Guagua jumped up and down with bright eyes, obviously looking forward to the next journey.

……

At that time, to the north of the Grey Sun Country, billions and billions of miles away.

After a chaotic mess, the suspicious Fuji Taoist and Tree Knight still maintained a stance of martial law.

General Renshen jumped onto the window sill, and after confirming that the figure inside was safe and sound, he smacked his tongue and yelled:
"Master Valley Master, what on earth is that?!"

"That aura just now seemed to have come from ancient time and space, appearing without any warning!"

"According to the information we have so far, your master's Dark Lantern Abyss has lost its dominant position in the early and middle stages of the Ancient Universe. Facing potential enemies eyeing him covetously, he also had to choose to seal it in order to protect himself!"

"He is surviving in the cracks, and the situation is extremely difficult. We will meet up with him. Will he help us, or will we help him?"

"I do not know."

Yu Ruxin covered her chest, took a deep breath, and smiled warmly:
"Without the master, there would be no me."

"Senior Jin Xuanzi, you think so too, right?"

"It is said that the guardian spirits of the Ye clan died or were disabled in the battle when the Dark Lamp sank. All of them had tragic endings."

“But as long as Master is still alive, even if there is nothing left of Mingdeng, the bloodline of the Ye family will not be cut off.”

"Wow..."

In Yu Ruxin's corolla, a gem shining with golden light slowly squirmed and eventually transformed into a miniature beetle.

It opened its eyes and sighed deeply at the sky outside the window. The complexity in its eyes quietly disappeared:

"I was trapped in the Flower Valley and missed the battle. I was too embarrassed to face my old friends."

"However, when alive, we are insects of the dark lamp, and when dead, we are ghosts of the dark lamp."

"As long as there is breath left, the will of the Dark Lantern will never be extinguished."

"If Hanjun could survive, he might become a great man, right?"

"Girl, you have inherited the legacy of the Earth Immortals and are the successor of the Earth Immortal lineage. I am very pleased."

"However, if Han Jun is in danger and the descendants of the Earth Immortals are worried, there is no need to drag them down and wade into the muddy water of the Dark Lamp."

"I, Ming Deng, never kneel down to beg for mercy. I was born with the surname of Ye on my shoulders, how can I be humiliated before I die?"

"Hey, Jin Xuanzi, you're talking so rudely!"

General Renshen was unhappy and pointed at Jin Xuanzi and cursed:
"Since our Earthly Immortal lineage has been inherited by the Valley Master, her will is our will!"

"I'm just complaining and expressing my concerns, do you have to make a big deal out of it?!"

“Besides, the Valley Master’s authority is here. She is a moving paradise. The gods are eager for her to stay here permanently. With the relics of our ancestors, is it difficult to win over one or two fetuses of the gods?”

General Renshen took a step forward with his right foot. His small body looked very mature and he said:
"The worst, the worst. So what if your Mingdeng is dead? Don't we still have our brother?"

"Brother is only one step away from becoming a god. Give me some time, and we'll have a new patron saint, right?"

"Even if you can't get the Dark Lantern back, you can move to the Flower Valley. There are no demons or undead spirits, but there are all kinds of plants there. Isn't that the life of a god?"

"The Dark Lantern is the bottom line. The Ye clan members would rather die together than give up their ancestral land."

Jin Xuanzi slowly closed his eyes:

"I have been promoted to the highest level of Saint Perfection, enough to live until the next era."

"I was unable to participate in the battle to destroy the Dark Lantern. I will pay for it with blood in the battle to unseal the Dark Lantern."

"Hey, you're so stubborn, you're really hard to please!"

General Renshen spat out a mouthful of spiritual phlegm and said angrily:

"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Isn't this a good principle?"

"There are still more than 5,000 years to go. Should we be so pessimistic?"

"Also, maybe we won't be able to wait until your Dark Lantern is unsealed, and a disaster of destruction will strike, and all the races in the heavens will die together."

"By then, whether it's your Dark Lantern Abyss or our Flower God Valley, we will all be small splashes among the vast crowd of living beings, unable to make big waves. What's the point of pursuing this and fantasizing about that?" (End of this chapter)
