Chapter 326: Runes Similar to the Ancient God

"How is that possible!!"

Chief Yan's words dealt Wu Wen a heavy blow.

Master Ge's life was all saved by Lu Xun?

How can he still stop Lu Xun from meeting the Yang-facing Master?

"Hahaha, I was wondering why the room was full of fragrance today; it turns out there's a distinguished guest."

Laughter rang out.

Immediately after, two figures flew toward the crowd.

One of them was none other than Master Ge.

The other looked about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a blue treasure robe, and should be the Yang-facing Master.

"Master!"

The girl Caiwei shouted hurriedly.

"Master..."

Wu Wen's heart sank.

Master Ge really came.

Not only did he come, but he also brought out the master who had been in seclusion researching the core of the Giant God Soldier.

Doesn't this mean that Lu Xun was indeed brought in by Master Ge?

Now, his plan to stop Lu Xun from seeing the Yang-facing Master and to cause trouble for Lu Xun has completely fallen through.

Soon, the Yang-facing Master and Master Ge landed in front of Lu Xun.

"Young friend, I'm really sorry; I've been so busy these days I'm almost going crazy, have been negligent, please don't mind."

After the Yang-facing Master arrived, he first offered an apology.

"Senior, that's not what I meant; your dedication is worthy of our learning, no wonder you have such high achievements—it's just that I, the junior, have been talkative."

Lu Xun replied politely.

Returning a foot for a foot of respect, he returns ten feet; this has always been Lu Xun's principle of conduct.

"Haha, as long as the young friend doesn't mind, please, Senior Brother, tell me what kind of puppet the young friend is preparing to repair."

The Yang-facing Master wasted no words and went straight to the topic.

This was exactly to Lu Xun's liking.

Lu Xun was about to take out the Golden Toad, but after the Yang-facing Master scanned the surroundings, he stopped him: "Wait, there are many people here; young friend, come with me."

"All right, senior."

Lu Xun followed.

"Master, let me go help you."

Seeing this, Wu Wen also wanted to follow.

He wanted to know what kind of puppet Lu Xun was preparing to repair.

"No need, go study the runes on the chest of the Giant God Soldier properly; it's been so long, and those runes still haven't been deciphered, sigh."

The Yang-facing Master sighed and refused Wu Wen.

"Damn it!"

Wu Wen watched Lu Xun's back, feeling resentful there on his own.

"Young friend, you can take it out now."

A few minutes later, in an extremely spacious room, the Yang-facing Master said.

Lu Xun then took out the Golden Toad, lightly tapping its back with his finger.

"Ribbit~"

The Golden Toad instantly enlarged, almost filling the entire room.

You see, the room's height is several tens of meters.

This is enough to show how huge the Golden Toad is.

"This spiritual feeling..."

The Yang-facing Master saw the Golden Toad's extraordinariness.

He circled the Golden Toad, examining it carefully.

"This is Profound Yang Gold."

Master Ge was also looking.

He used a specialized magical treasure to appraise it and came to a conclusion.

"Profound Yang Gold? Is its material really that high-grade, young friend? What rank of puppet is this?"

Upon hearing that the Golden Toad's material was Profound Yang Gold, the Yang-facing Master hurriedly asked Lu Xun.

"It should have been eighth-rank, but because its abdomen was broken with a large hole, its strength now is less than sixth-rank."

Lu Xun said.

"Eighth-rank!"

The Yang-facing Master took a deep breath.

An eighth-rank puppet, he currently cannot craft one.

"Young friend, wait a moment; I'll examine it."

"All right."

The Yang-facing Master circled the Golden Toad, looking over it again and again, and even delved into its injured part to examine it.

After checking inside and out for quite a while, he then had Lu Xun shrink the Golden Toad a bit and observed it again.

This time, what Master Danyang mainly observed was the injured part of the golden toad.

As he watched, his face gradually showed an excited expression.

"Danyang, what's wrong with you?"

Master Ge asked.

"Senior brother, the craftsmanship of this puppet is superb; if I can repair it, I might very well break through to the eighth rank, hahaha, little friend, you've come at just the right time—I'll repair this puppet for you free of charge, you don't need to spend a single coin!"

Master Danyang laughed loudly.

"Good kid, if you truly can break through to the eighth rank, merely repairing it for free won't do; you also have to give Lu Xun money."

Master Ge teased.

"That's only natural."

Master Danyang, however, agreed.

"Senior, you're joking; if you senior can help me repair it for free, I, the junior, would be deeply grateful—I wouldn't dare let you senior give me money."

Lu Xun naturally wouldn't be so clueless.

Others' gains are theirs; being able to repair it is already very good, and moreover Master Danyang is willing to repair it for free.

How could Lu Xun feel comfortable letting him give him money?

"Alright, once it's repaired, I'll notify you; the time will probably be about half a year to a year."

"Okay, senior."

Half a year to a year—this time frame is still acceptable.

During this time, Lan Xing will not be in danger, so there's no need for Little Gold.

The matter of the golden toad was thus settled.

Master Danyang said he would do it and did it; that very day he buried himself in researching the golden toad.

His achieving such an accomplishment is inseparable from this dedication.

"Little friend, let's go first."

"Mm!"

Master Ge led Lu Xun in preparing to leave.

"Huh? This rune..."

As he turned around, Lu Xun saw the giant god warrior outside.

Master Danyang's room faced the giant god warrior, and since one wall was a large pane of glass, Lu Xun got to see the giant god warrior's front.

The giant god warrior looked like a huge humanoid robot.

Just now, the runes in front of it suddenly lit up.

This rune inexplicably gave Lu Xun a sense of familiarity.

It seemed as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Little friend, have you seen this rune before?"

Master Danyang instantly became energized, no longer bothering to study the golden toad.

"Senior, may I get closer to observe it?"

Lu Xun said.

"Of course, come on, I'll take you there."

Master Danyang then walked with Lu Xun.

"Master, how did you come here?"

In front of the giant god warrior, Wu Wen saw Master Danyang and Lu Xun approaching, and his mood instantly soured.

He had just been trying to study the giant god warrior's runes in order to find a breakthrough.

This giant god warrior has been in Lan Xing's possession for several decades, yet there has been little progress.

The recent invasion by the Yao Xing made Lan Xing's upper echelons feel a sense of crisis, prompting them to launch more projects.

Master Danyang then brought a large number of puppet masters to conquer the giant god warrior.

Yet even Master Danyang was stumped by it.

At such a time, if Wu Wen finds a breakthrough, his status will greatly increase.

Master Danyang ignored him, flew straight to the front of the giant god warrior, pressed its chest, and the runes on the giant god warrior's chest lit up completely.

"It really is like that."

Lu Xun examined them closely and found that these runes were extremely similar to those on the Ancient God's body.

But upon closer inspection, there were also some differences.

Leaving aside the difference in energy intensity, purely in terms of rune type, the runes on the giant god warrior look extremely crude, like the writing of a novice.

Whereas the runes on the Ancient God's body are extraordinarily mature, like the brushwork of a calligraphy master.

"How could this be such a coincidence... could it be that the runes on the Ancient God's body are the work of this mechanical civilization?"

Lu Xun couldn't help but think.

But upon further thought, Lu Xun felt this possibility was too small.

No one knows how long the Ancient God has existed.

This mechanical civilization was discovered by Lan Xing in a civilization tombstone at an ancient road node.

The existence of a civilization tombstone indicates that the ascension failed.

Their failure site may not be where the civilization tombstone was found.

But rather, it lies further ahead at the ancient road node.

Otherwise, the planet would have disintegrated outright, leaving no chance to form a civilization tombstone.

As for why the civilization tombstone ended up at the later ancient road junction, it is due to the effect of spatial turbulence, or perhaps these civilizations deliberately did so.

They wanted to leave behind the civilization's heritage.

No matter what,

In Lu Xun's view, this mechanical civilization could not possibly imprison an Ancient God like that.

Moreover, the Ancient God has already counter-killed the one who drove the Divine-Suppressing Nail into him.

But the similarity of the runes leaves Lu Xun puzzled.

"Could it be that these runes actually represent a kind of script, or rather a universal spirit pattern?"

Lu Xun suddenly had an idea.

This possibility is not small.

Another issue is that even if the two runes are similar, the runes on the Ancient God are used to seal the Ancient God.

What function do the runes on the Giant God Soldier serve?

"Lu Xun, how is it?"

After Master Danyang had Lu Xun ponder for half a day and seemed to gain some insight, he couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xun pondered briefly, moved his hands, took out a golden rune, and handed it to Master Danyang.

This rune was, when Lu Xun took advantage of the Ancient God's unconscious state to prepare to flee, the Ancient God suddenly awoke, shattered the outermost layer of runes, and some rune fragments splashed onto Lu Xun's surroundings.

He casually collected them.

"This... junior friend, where did you obtain such a rune?"

After seeing that rune, Master Danyang took a deep breath.

Because the golden rune Lu Xun produced is extremely similar to the runes on the Giant God Soldier.

"Senior, this is a rune from the Ancient God; you can take it to study and see if you gain anything."

Lu Xun transmitted mentally.

"Ancient God!"

Master Danyang's eyes narrowed.

When the Ancient God first came to attack, that sense of oppression was simply unparalleled.

The Yao Xing were directly frightened away.

Because at that time the Ancient God's whole body was engulfed in raging flames, and its outermost layer of runes had already shattered, even the strongest beings on Lan Xing could not see its runes.

"Good, junior friend, this rune is extremely precious; if any research yields results, you will share in the credit!"

Master Danyang received it with both hands.

"Senior, the runes on the Ancient God serve a sealing function; before clarifying the purpose of the runes on the Giant God Soldier, you must absolutely not damage the runes."

Lu Xun cautioned.

Lu Xun does not understand what this similarity of runes is all about.

No matter what, being cautious is never wrong.

"All right, junior friend."

Master Danyang nodded.
