Chapter 2090

"It used to be like that. But now it's not; the Lord of the Universe unified the Time Line, and now the entire universe has no other temporal branches, unless someone masters the underlying temporal rules and possesses a realm equal to that of the Lord of the Universe; otherwise, what happens in the present is the final result." Yu Huang again said, telling Xiao Feng the current situation.

The Lord of the Universe unifying the Time Line—Xiao Feng had heard of that before, so it wasn't too surprising.

"If that's the case, this immortal field producing Qi Luck isn't it the most precious Supreme Treasure in the universe?" Xiao Feng looked at the field he had cultivated, feeling a bit proud.

Yu Huang smiled: "Its preciousness is indeed high, but the Qi Luck produced this way is only a tiny share, far from influencing the pattern of all races in the universe."

"Many drops make a flood, many grains make a tower; having some is better than none." Xiao Feng also laughed.

"That's the reasoning." Yu Huang agreed.

The existence of this immortal field can be said to be a most basic safeguard of Qi Luck.

Even if humanity declines, as long as we diligently farm here, the Qi Luck will not be completely exhausted; we can draw some from the foundation of the underlying temporal rules to nourish humanity.

No wonder Tu Shan Ming said this is the legacy of Shennong.

The Shennong clan that left this precious land has made an immeasurable contribution to the clan, a blessing for myriad generations!

"Ancestor Yu Huang, you let me cultivate a Qi Luck immortal field once—do you have any other pointers?" Xiao Feng felt Yu Huang still had more to say, so he continued asking.

Yu Huang nodded slightly: "In the myriad worlds, you've come into contact with many Qi Luck-related matters, right?"

"Hmm, in the myriad worlds each time we slay a powerful monster we gain a large amount of Qi Luck value, plus war plunder,"

"the increase from population growth, now my war zone's Qi Luck value is already extremely exaggerated." Xiao Feng said.

Speaking without boasting, the Qi Luck value currently held by Blue Star No. 8 War Zone is absolutely the highest in the entire server, and it exceeds the second place by many, many times—the gap is extremely exaggerated!

Too many venerables have died at Xiao Feng's hands; each provides Qi Luck on the order of "jing" (hundred quadrillions), whereas a normal war zone might not even have 1 billion Qi Luck value.

One can imagine how terrifying these two extremes are.

"Everything in the virtual world is a simulation of the real world. The virtual universe can plunder Qi Luck; the real world can likewise do so." Yu Huang said.

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "You mean… we can go slay Foreign Race Powerhouses, increasing our Qi Luck to strengthen our clan?"

Yu Huang chuckled, shook his head: "It's possible, but not necessary. I just want to tell you that you can use this path to try to comprehend the Dao of Qi Luck. Although you've already made some accomplishments in material laws, more skills never burden one; more choices, more ways out."

"Ah, is that so…"

Xiao Feng scratched his head.

Just a moment ago, he really thought he was going to be cultivated into a super warrior, to go to the border and frenziedly slay the Foreign Race controllers.

As it turned out, it was merely a passing remark, with no intention of making him a warrior at all.

The Dao of Qi Luck is indeed a broad-prospects legal path, capable of transcending the material universe and reaching a higher realm.

But over the countless years of the universe, myriad beings have passed through, yet none have become a Dao Ancestor by this path, showing how astonishingly difficult its comprehension is.

"「Qi Luck laws, material laws, time laws, space

space laws, soul laws……these high-dimensional laws are none easy to comprehend. Although I have decent talent, to become such a powerhouse I fear I would also need a very long, very long time." Xiao Feng sighed.

Yu Huang said: "The path is there; walking early or late is still walking. Don't be anxious, you're still young."

"Hmm, I'm not in a hurry; everything has just begun. I haven't yet fought peers of the same realm, let alone gone to the border to battle Foreign Races for humanity. Compared to my predecessors, I still have a very long, very long road ahead."

As for the future, Xiao Feng also harbors great expectations. Recently he has come into contact with too many fresh people and things, only then realizing that the universe isn't as mysterious as thought; the various races are like individual nations, with friendships and conflicts, but the ultimate goal is for each to develop better.

This feeling is like when one first steps out of their native small village, finally realizing how wonderful the outside world is.

"Ancestor Yu Huang, are you busy now?" Xiao Feng suddenly asked.

"Not busy, what do you want to say?"

"Um…… I'm very curious about the stories of ancient times; there are many things I want to know. I don't know if the ancestor could tell me?" Xiao Feng said bashfully.

Yu Huang chuckled: "What's the problem with that? It's not a secret; sit down and let's talk slowly."

Xiao Feng sat on the ground.

This place is like the wilderness; besides a few stools, there's nowhere else to sit.

But people don't necessarily need a chair to sit; the earth is vast, anywhere you can put your bottom, as you like.

Yu Huang and the few silent ancestors are like old farmers guarding the fields against birds and wild boars, idling with nothing to do,

, then began to tell stories to the young people.

"What do you want to know?" he asked.

"Anything is fine; I'm curious about everything from ancient times!" Xiao Feng indicated he wasn't picky at all, purely a curious treasure, just wanting to hear stories.

Yu Huang's solemn face showed a trace of reminiscence, then he sighed: "The ancient histories of old have long flowed eastward with the river of years, nearly forgotten. Look at them—withered and decayed, no longer bearing the former spirited will to fight heaven, earth, and myriad races; each is like an old man on his deathbed, hehe……"

Just that sentence, Xiao Feng felt the marks of time on Yu Huang's body.

That heavy sense of fatigue comes from the responsibility of protecting humanity for countless years, as well as from great strength.

It is lamentable.

"The virtual universe is still quite interesting; if the ancestors find time boring, they can return to being mortals, go experience that world, perhaps it's more interesting than lingering in the river of time." Xiao Feng proposed, unable to bear seeing the once glorious ancestors now like statues, sitting stiffly there.

But Yu Huang shook his head and said: "Ten million years have passed. Everything you've thought of, they've done before. Now only war can rekindle the vitality in their withered hearts."

"Isn't there still war at the border? Why not go there?" Xiao Feng then asked.

Yu Huang countered: "If the foreign races also dispatch their ancient powerhouses all to come out, what do you think would happen?"

"Um… okay, that would definitely be an unprecedented world-shaking war; probably even the star rivers would dim."

Xiao Feng gave a bitter smile.

Humanity is actually not ancient.

Looking upon the vast universe, the human civilization that has just risen in this era is the youngest one,

, full of vitality, constantly giving rise to powerhouses, constantly birthing new civilization planets.

Compared to that, the machine race and giant beast race are truly ancient; some have existed for tens of billions of years, making their history hundreds or thousands of times longer than humanity's.

Perhaps among the foreign races there are also many powerhouses lying dormant in the river of time; if war truly broke out, with the enemy's powerhouses fully deployed, humanity would instead become even more passive.
