Chapter 842: A Leisure Trip (1/2)

Fuxi shook his head. “The Bell of Chaos is yours after Tushan gave it to you. You alone are able to use it.”

Lu Yun looked down closely at the bell in his hand. The small, unassuming bell constantly jingled on the little fox’s neck, but it was completely silent in his hand no matter what he tried.

“I don’t think I understand it.” Lu Yun sighed after a long pause. “The little fox gave me the bell, but this connate-grade treasure shouldn’t be mine. When we meet again, I’ll return it to her.”

Fuxi gave Lu Yun a silent look.

“As for this creator, I have my ways of resurrecting him. It won’t be necessary for me to visit the celestial master tomb.” Lu Yun looked up at the world around them. It was so familiar, and yet different from what he remembered.

“This is the world of immortals, isn’t it?” he murmured, his gaze fixed upon the sky.

“It’s the world of celestials.” Fuxi nodded. “It was once Taiyi’s dao arena. After his death, it became God’s dao arena. Since he’s passed on as well, connate demon gods will flock to the world of celestials and turn it into the heart of the multiverse—the world of immortals as you know it.”

“You can travel through time and make your way to the future to find out what will happen, so why don’t you try to prevent tragedies from taking place?”

“Well,” Fuxi sighed and shook his head. “Because I can’t. The world is too weak, and so am I. I am helpless facing the incoming disasters. Not even my parents Leize and Huaxu, or God or even Pangu can do anything!

“We’re too weak, all of us are too weak to change anything. The only thing we can do is to set up a foundation for future generations and place our hope in them. No more, no less.”

“Right.” Under Lu Yun’s composed expression raged a turbulence of emotions. He put the Bell of Chaos back on his neck and extended both hands. Hazy black light streamed out of his palms and enveloped God’s body.

The image of the Tome of Life and Death flashed through his eyes, and God’s body disappeared along with it.

The book was resting inside Lu Yun. Although he couldn’t find it, nor could he tap into its power, it wouldn’t go against his will. He wanted the treasure to collect the body, so it appeared and did as he wished.

“What was that?!” Fuxi gaped at Lu Yun in abject shock. Just now, he’d glimpsed a flash of a supreme will that far exceeded even that of a creator’s!

“My secret weapon,” Lu Yun replied. “Though I don’t actually know for sure what it is.”

Chest heaving violently, Fuxi tapped the center of his forehead with his fingertip and removed his memory of what he’d just seen.

“When can I go back?” Lu Yun changed the subject, sensing the shift in the other’s mood.

“You can go back whenever you’d like.” Fuxi cocked his head. “After ten years, the current Shennong will pass down his position and enter the human sacred land. That is when war between the human race will break out.”

“Ten years...” Lu Yun paused thoughtfully. “The qi refinement method should be popularized among all of humanity by then, shouldn’t it?”

“That’s right.” Fuxi nodded. “Nonetheless, it’s best that you minimize your involvement in the coming war. Preserve your strength for the connate demon gods.”

Lu Yun nodded in silent agreement.
