Chapter 438

But who would do that, deliberately releasing starry sky alien species to destroy civilizations in the starry sky.

At the same time, they also monopolized the source grounds rich in Dark Energy, making the Spirit Realms within those source grounds extremely perilous.

Such a grand undertaking is impossible even for those in the Tenth Realm.

Could it be... someone at the level of immortals and gods?

For a moment, Lu Xun's mind was filled with all kinds of wild conjectures.

Could there be an evil god who wants to destroy the world?

Or perhaps the immortals and gods do not want more people to become immortals and gods, so they released the starry sky alien species to prevent the birth of cultivation civilizations.

One can easily imagine how much Dark Energy these starry sky alien species would consume.

With them present, in each ancient route node (that is, the source grounds), basically no new civilizations will arise.

If even ordinary civilizations won't arise, then cultivation civilizations are out of the question.

As for other places in the universe, although they are vaster, without Dark Energy they are useless.

Even a random galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars, and the number of planets is countless.

But how many of those planets actually harbor life?

Even if there is life, without Dark Energy it is merely feeble life, lasting only a few dozen or a hundred years at most.

To beings at the immortal-god level, they pose no threat whatsoever.

All these speculations likewise gave Lu Xun some conjectures about Lan Xing's ascension in dimension.

Of course, for now it's merely speculation.

Lu Xun had no intention of investigating too deeply.

With insufficient strength, what good would knowing the truth do?

That would only add to his worries.

So Lu Xun quickly put aside all those thoughts.

"Teacher, I'll awaken all the living ones and bring them back to Lan Xing; they might be of some use."

Lu Xun decided to awaken everyone who could be awakened.

"Good."

Fu Yue and Fu Xue did not stop him.

Many people were frozen in ice, but in the end only fewer than a hundred were awakened.

The vast majority had already died.

Those few dozen people, seeing their homeland drastically changed, were each greatly shocked.

"@#%%&（~"

Someone, after accepting reality, pointed at the other two planets and wailed angrily.

Lu Xun couldn't understand their language, but after spiritual communication he came to understand.

It turned out that those two planets had once harbored civilizations.

On the three planets lived three different kinds of people: one was the Fire Tribe, one the Ice Tribe, and another the Earth Tribe.

"Holy Pearl?"

Lu Xun also received an unexpected situation.

Inside each of these three planets lies a Holy Pearl, causing their environments to differ greatly.

However, whether this Holy Pearl actually exists, and where it might be, these people do not know.

Among them there is a kind of person called a "Sage" who can communicate with the Holy Pearl and gain power.

For example, the first girl Lu Xun rescued is a prospective Sage.

"Somewhat like the Five Elements Spirit Pearls."

After hearing Lu Xun say that, Fu Yue said.

"Five Elements Spirit Pearls?"

"Well, that is, the Wind Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, Earth Spirit Pearl, etc., not just five kinds; like the one on this planet, it should be the Ice Spirit Pearl, a variant of the Water Spirit Pearl; these Spirit Pearls aid the cultivation of practitioners at the Eight or Nine Realms, and if obtained, they would be of tremendous help to Xiao Xue."

"Then we've really struck it rich this time!"

Lu Xun's spirit was refreshed.

Indeed, good deeds are rewarded.

He awakened the first girl purely out of curiosity.

As for the others, he did it as a matter of course.

Who would have thought it would yield an unexpected gain.

Lu Xun could not find these three Spirit Pearls even with the Heavenly Dao Eye; they are likely hidden extremely deep, perhaps at the cores of the three planets.

If they truly exist, then we've struck it rich.

"Let me look for them."

Lu Xun activated the Heavenly Dao Eye, trying to locate the Spirit Pearls.

However, these three planets are not small in size, and their interiors are very complex; even with the Heavenly Dao Eye it is not easy to find them.

"&（*…￥#~"

The girl suddenly spoke.

After some spiritual communication, Lu Xun understood her meaning.

To repay Lu Xun for saving her life, she can try to communicate with the Spirit Pearl; if she can wield its power, Lu Xun might then be able to find it.

However, her body is still very weak and she needs a few days of rest.

"Thank you, this pill is for you; it should help you recover."

Lu Xun handed over a restorative pill.

The girl gratefully received it.

After thinking, Lu Xun took out some more pills and handed them to the others who had just awakened.

Most of these people had not yet recovered from the great upheaval; they were dazed and motionless.

That's also normal,

Freezing happened in an instant.

Freezing is equivalent to freezing their consciousness.

After waking, they unexpectedly found themselves in a future who knows how many years later; the whole world had been destroyed, seas turned to mulberry fields, everything familiar was gone.

That is naturally hard to accept.

"Teacher, let's wait a bit."

"Okay."

Lu Xun wasn't in a hurry, and waited together with the two girls.

While Lu Xun and the two girls waited for the girl to recover.

More than a dozen figures silently appeared in this Spirit Realm.

Among these dozen or so people, a few had Western faces, but more had Eastern faces.

No,

if you look closely, they are not Easterners.

but rather Fusang people who resemble Easterners somewhat.

Their faces always bore a hint of gloom and viciousness.

Like poisonous snakes ready to bite at any moment.

"Hansen, are you sure that Lu Xun will come to this Spirit Realm?"

A Fusang person asked lightly.

"Lord Kishida, rest assured; we had multiple bishops cast the Great Prophecy, supplemented with black magic as corroboration. Lu Xun's chance of being here isn't said to be 100%, but there's still a seventy or eighty percent likelihood; otherwise, why would we have summoned you?"

Hansen, dressed in a tailcoat like a noble, spoke respectfully.

"We do the dirty work; you just hide behind and move your lips... If the East later blames us, don't play dead."

Another Fusang person was dissatisfied.

"Lord Watanabe, rest assured; the East will definitely not find out, and even if they truly do, we will face it together with you."

Hansen gave a guarantee.

Watanabe Jiro let out a light snort, and no longer quarreled with Hansen.

Hansen spoke so well.

If the matter really leaks out, those white-skinned devils will only hide far away.

That is their consistent style.

But who made Fusang need to rely on the West to oppose the East?

So, this dirty job really has to be done by them.

"Everyone, move out; don't startle the snake. First find Lu Xun; if he really is here, this time we must kill him no matter what."

"Ha-yi (yes)!"

More than a dozen Fusang ninjas' bodies instantly vanished.

They are all ninjas skilled in concealment; each cultivation is not weak, the lowest being at the Six Realms.

As for the two leading Fusang persons, they are even at the Eight Realms.

This time... they have come to kill Lu Xun!
