Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 549 The inheritance will never be interrupted
Killing people in a dream is a brilliant idea, but a brilliant idea is just an idea. The distance from the idea to the overall plan, and then from the overall plan to the actual implementation... is like the distance from first sight to first night to the child’s hundred-day banquet.

The other party took the trouble to bring him into the Primordial Illusion, obviously not just to show off that he had a good idea, so...

With some curiosity, Wang Luo waited for the Lord of Heaven to announce the next plan.

However, I heard a laugh in my ear.

"Oh, I've said enough today, let's stop here for now."

"?" Wang Luo was simply shocked. How could this broken-chapter dog be so arrogant?
However, the next moment, he felt that the scenery in front of him was rapidly fading in color and distorting in shape, as if it was washed by clear water. In a trance, he felt that he had been dragged by someone with soft force and pulled ashore from the heavy lake.

It was at this moment that Wang Luo felt as if his whole body was falling apart, like a piece of paper that had been swollen but not rotten by water. It was not painful, but it was worse than pain.

"hiss……"

The Lord of Heaven sighed and said, "With your current attainments in the natural body of Taoism, you cannot immerse yourself in the Primordial Illusion for too long... This place is the Heavenly Palace after all, and many things were designed without considering groups other than immortals from the beginning."

Wang Luo sneered but didn't expose it.

The other party's reason does make sense, but it is only reasonable, and it must not be true. He obviously cut off the chapter on purpose... However, at this time, Wang Luo did not think that the other party was trying to keep people in suspense. He cut off the chapter here, most likely for a reason, so he did not ask any more questions for the time being, but just lay on the shore and slowly adjusted his breath.

The air in Jingzhou is different from that in Tianzhizuo and even Xinheng. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so abundant that it is almost unbelievable. The so-called fairyland on earth may be a suitable description of the environment here... However, the nature of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth itself is faintly corrupt.

It is like an inexhaustible supply of emergency dry food, which can fill the stomach but will gradually make people wither.

However, after the Lord of Heaven brought Wang Luo back to the humble room, he lit an old candle. The candlelight flickered, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air. The spiritual energy contained in the wind almost instantly healed Wang Luo's natural Taoist body, and made the true energy in his body stir.

Before Wang Luo could speak, the Lord of Heaven spoke first: "Regulate your breathing carefully and don't talk distractedly. This Hundred Fragrance Fairy Candle is a legacy of the old fairy calendar era. It was made by several golden fairies who became fairy from flower demons and presented to the fairy ancestor to celebrate his birthday. Now, both the method and the maker no longer exist, and the fairy candles are becoming less and less."

After saying this, he suddenly sensed something, walked to the door, pushed open the simple door, and saw a pretty maid in green standing outside the door, holding a jade book in her hand, with her brows lowered and her eyes submissive, but her posture was straight, without bending her knees or waist.

The Lord of Heaven nodded to her, then reached out to take the jade book, and the maid turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared with the wind.

Turning back, the Lord of Heaven shrugged and smiled self-deprecatingly at Wang Luo: "Red tape is the most unavoidable in the last years of a dynasty. The one just now was a 'ritual maid' from the old immortal calendar era. She was transformed from the residual soul of a true immortal who died accidentally. Her consciousness was not complete, and she only wanted to serve the Heaven. Then, in fact, the Heaven did not need them to serve anything, so they were mainly arranged to do some book delivery work. What was important was not the efficiency of book delivery, but the sense of ritual. Nowadays, there are very few such maids left, and only the Xi and Zhen families would insist on sending maids to deliver books to me every time."

As he spoke, he casually opened the jade book, signed his name on the corner of the jade book without even looking at it, then rolled up the jade book and threw it out the door, and the jade book immediately disappeared.

Wang Luo was a little surprised: "I saw that the jade book seemed to say 'urgent'..."

The Lord of Heaven laughed and said, "I told you not to be distracted, but you were distracted anyway... What's so urgent about it? It's just a routine official document. Otherwise, it wouldn't show the importance of the family. In the past, Chi Cheng was actually not tired of such things, so he opened up the Star Sea Realm all year round and didn't bother to take care of the affairs of Heaven."

After laughing, the Lord of Heaven sighed again.

"But at that time, the Heavenly Palace was indeed like a proper court. Red tape was annoying, but it was necessary. There were tens of thousands of immortals, as well as the immortal servants and beasts raised in their caves. Everyone had to make decisions on all matters, big and small. And in order to distinguish between the trivial matters of ordinary immortals, the Etiquette Maid and the Jade Book were used. Unfortunately, there are no more trivial matters now."

At this time, the door of the humble room was still open, and a breeze blew in, blowing away the fragrance of the fairy candle with the bleakness outside the house.

"After the catastrophe, even when Jingzhou was at its most prosperous, the number of immortals was less than one-tenth of that in the old immortal calendar era. And now... sometimes I even think that even if it's just family matters, if everyone sends me some documents, it will make me look worthy of the title of the Lord of Heaven. Unfortunately, there are no more."

Wang Luo thought of the scene around the deep cave he saw when he came here, and couldn't help asking: "Jingzhou... or how many immortals are there in Tianzhizuo?"

"There are about a hundred people who have reached the Immortal Realm, but this is the total number of registered people. Many of them can no longer be contacted."

“Lost contact?!”

"Some of them have dispersed to Luzhou, Mingzhou, and Mozhou. Some said they wanted to return home, while others said they didn't want to be saddened by the sight of the scene in Jingzhou. Of course, there are also some who don't like me and I don't like them. In short, after leaving Jingzhou, they have no contact with the Heavenly Court; and some have been hiding in their own immortal palaces for hundreds of years, and no one can call them out. Although I can sense from the immortal rhythm that they are still alive, people who can never be called out are actually no different from the dead."

Wang Luo then asked: "So, this is the legacy you want to leave to me?"

"Haha." The Lord of Heaven couldn't help but laugh. "Look at it from a positive perspective. The more corrupt the old people are, the easier it will be for the new ruler to govern! Although the population of the Left of Heaven is declining, the foundation is still there, as can be seen from the cautiousness of the Immortal Alliance in pioneering the wasteland. Okay, stop chatting for a while. If you don't regulate your breathing seriously, the Immortal Candle will really be wasted."

Wang Luo frowned slightly, feeling that these words were still somewhat untrue. But he was also a little tired at the moment, so he closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the fragrant breeze.

-

The rhythm of life in the next few days remained largely unchanged.

Wang Luo used the Immortal Candle to cultivate his body and mind, not only did he recover from his injuries in the Taichu Illusion, but his cultivation level also reached a new level. It was a pity that it was no longer possible to achieve the transition from Nascent Soul to Spiritualization in one go, and at the same time, personal cultivation level was no longer that important at this point in time.

Therefore, for Wang Luo, what is worth paying attention to is not his own cultivation, but following the Lord of Heaven in the past few days and observing his daily words and deeds.

Objectively speaking, the position of the Lord of Heaven was even more boring than he expected. The vast Jingzhou, deep in the wilderness, was actually desolate. He was called the Lord, but the people and things he could truly dominate were extremely limited. If it weren't for the courtesy maid who respectfully presented the Jade Book every day for his approval, he would be no different from a lonely person. As a golden immortal of wonderful magic, didn't he have his own immortal palace, his own confidants? No... more ambitions?

Unfortunately, in this shabby room, Wang Luo could neither get an answer nor think of an answer.

It is only through regulating my breathing and resting my mind day after day that I gradually realize that a turning point is coming.

On this day, the maid was still delivering the letter, but standing next to the maid was an old man. The old man was dressed in gorgeous immortal clothes, with dazzling immortal charm, showing his extraordinary cultivation and status. However, at the same time, he was already extremely old. Even as an immortal who should live as long as the heaven and earth in theory, he was filled with the aura of a dying person.

The appearance of the old man surprised the Lord of Heaven a little.

"Mr. Zhen? Why are you here?"

"I'm here..." As he spoke, the old man became more hunched over, and couldn't stop coughing slightly, "I'm here to ask, when will those two good-for-nothing boys of mine be able to come back..."

The Lord of Heaven couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Master Zhen, I told you before that Zhen Yue and Zhen Yuan had to build the Honghuang Qianxingtai during their shift in Mingzhou, and they couldn't return for a hundred years. They are the main force of the project, and they really can't get away."

The old man whispered: "But, how come not even a letter has been sent back in all these years..."

The Lord of Heaven said: "Perhaps it's because of the busy project, or more likely, it's because of the opportunity of Pulling the Star that the key to a breakthrough came. I told you long ago that those two people have great talents and are expected to achieve Golden Immortals..."

"Alas." The old man shook his head and coughed a few times, saying, "Those two boys don't have the fate of becoming golden immortals. I just hope that they can live peacefully at home practicing. The Zhen family has become increasingly deserted over the years. A few days ago, even the letters from the third son stopped. He is a golden immortal with wonderful magic and the pillar of the family, but he has been increasingly away from home since a hundred years ago. He has been conspiring with the second son of the Xi family all day long. Alas..."

The Lord of Heaven listened patiently to the old man's nagging, until a long time later, the old man spoke.

"My Lord, the Zhen family is willing to dedicate everything to the Heavenly Court. As long as the old days can be brought back, no one in the Zhen family will frown. So, if you need me, my Lord, just call my name. I have lived too long..."

After the old man left, the Lord of Heaven sighed, shook his head, and temporarily placed the jade book on the table, not rushing to sign it.

When Wang Luo took the time to look, he saw that in the extremely urgent jade book, it was clearly written...

The Immortal Alliance has broken through the Mozhou defense line and requests the Lord to immediately activate the Mingzhou Blood Furnace to refine billions of lives into blood bombs to pollute the Dinghuang City in the lead.

Just a few paragraphs of text made Wang Luo horrified.

Mingzhou blood furnace? Billions of lives turned into blood bombs? This...

"This is a secret that only Golden Immortals and above can know. Those rotating immortal officials who defected are completely unaware of it." The Lord of Heaven did not intend to hide anything. "In fact, as the catalyst of the blood bomb, they cannot know it either. According to the original plan, if one day your Immortal Alliance's pioneering work crosses the dividing line between the left and right of the sky, it means that conventional means of confrontation have become ineffective, and we must use killing moves."

Wang Luo asked: "That is to say, refine all of Xin Heng, and then..."

The Lord of Heaven chuckled and said, "In theory, it should be quite effective. When your battle line is the longest, I will directly throw blood bullets at you. It can break through your Dinghuang barrier, smash Dinghuang City, spread a terrible plague, and take the lives of hundreds of millions or even billions of people. You will not dare to think about opening up new land for a hundred years. It may even disintegrate the Immortal Alliance in one fell swoop, causing endless internal strife among you."

Wang Luo was silent for a long time, then said, "But you have been vetoing this plan."

The Lord of Heaven said, "Because it is meaningless. This kind of situation where both sides suffer losses is meaningless. Even if this plan really works, it will only slow down your pace by one or two hundred years. The strategic trend of one side gaining while the other loses will not change. On the contrary, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the left and right sides of Heaven. Besides, my death is not far away, and I don't want to see the world still divided after my death."

After sighing, the Lord of Heaven said, "Besides, apart from old men like Master Zhen, no one really cares about the Blood Furnace Project. The defense line of Mozhou has been breached, so I should have urgent military documents every day, but apart from the maid of the Zhen family, no one has warned me. Because everyone has long since stopped believing that Heaven can restore its former glory."

"Of course, disbelief is a good thing. Those who are stubborn are either the crazy people who took over Shi Suying's body, or old and confused people like Zhen Lao. Compared with them, I would rather see some people with active minds, such as those rotating immortal officials who took the initiative to run to the Immortal Alliance to become rich."

Hearing this, Wang Luo suddenly understood something.

"That Mr. Zhen..."

The Lord of Heaven said, "It's okay. I will personally send him off later. When I first inherited the Immortal Law and was elected as the Lord of Heaven, I encountered many difficulties. During this period, I was helped by Master Zhen... He said that I look a lot like his great grandson in the mortal world. Unfortunately, to this day I still don't know what that great grandson looks like, or even if he really exists. In short, I owe him a favor, and I don't intend to leave this part of the debt to you. Moreover, although he is old and confused, he is a Golden Immortal after all. After meeting today, he should have some understanding and preparation."

Having said that, the Lord of Heaven turned around and looked at Wang Luo.

"You have almost recovered from the past few days, so you can go back now. Tell Lu Zhiyao about my plan, and she will arrange the rest... If she can't arrange it well, you can help her."

Hearing this, Wang Luo realized that the two sides might have to say goodbye. Even though he had been prepared for this farewell, he still felt mixed emotions for a while. But the other party smiled and said, "I really don't want the scene to be too pretentious, so let's say goodbye in a simple and affordable way. I should have given this thing to you a long time ago, but I was a little reluctant to give it up. I kept it until today, and it's finally time to let it go... Use it well."

As he spoke, the Lord of Heaven took out a book, which was golden and simple in style. The words on the cover were extremely familiar.

Ascension Record.

"The 83rd generation master of Lingshan now officially passes on this Ascension Record to you."
