733 Reckless 2 (1/2)

Strong. This was also the reason why Jonah followed Lu Sheng with increasing determination.

She was broke and pretty. If she did not find someone who exuded pressure to protect herself, she reckoned that she would surely run into trouble on her own.

When she'd cross-dressed before this, she could somehow freeload off other people. When she'd met Lu Sheng, the bloodline she'd inherited gave her a feeling that this man harbored no ill intentions for her.

Or perhaps, she could feel that Lu Sheng treated everyone around him, including Yuna, as if they were all little animals or plants.

Everyone else was insignificant. If he was in the mood, he would look at them more often. If he was not, he would just ignore them.

That was exactly the feeling she got from Lu Sheng. That was what made Jonah interested in Lu Sheng. After running away from home for so long, she had met all kinds of people. There were good people, bad people, people with ulterior motives, and even those that were after her money and body.

There were also those who could see through her disguise. They nearly knocked her out with some drugs and took her virginity from her. Fortunately, she had a special bloodline which woke her up just in time, and she escaped from the demons' den.

Through her own intuition, Jonah could clearly tell that while Lu Sheng might not be some great noble, he was certainly rich.

This was because no matter the amount he forked out, there was no trace of his emotions fluctuating.

It should be known that even the great merchants would feel a slight pang when they tossed out some gold or gemstones.

However, Lu Sheng did not.

This made Jonah suspect that her intuition might have gone haywire. However, she quickly regained her confidence after testing it out on some random people. Her intuition was still working; it was just that Lu Sheng truly did not mind.

While freeloading off the other people, she could feel it when their patience was almost at their end. However, with Lu Sheng, she could freeload all she wanted.

This was because she clearly felt that Lu Sheng had no interest in money. He tossed out gold pieces like they were rocks.

After their meal, the mansion prepared tea and held a dance party for them. Some of the guests even started playing cards and chess. These were their after-meal activities.

Lu Sheng was not interested in the least. After finishing his meal, he left the mansion. He walked toward the slums.

The guards advised him against it, but he dismissed them with a wave.

Jonah and Yuna gave it some thought before following him. One of them had nowhere else to go, while the other was worried that she might lose her meal coupon.

The three of them walked toward the slums.

After walking for about a kilometer, they could start seeing the silhouettes of the people lying around or sitting on the dark yellow sand in the distance.

Lu Sheng did not get too close. He stopped walking while the slum was still some ways away.

He ignored the two girls behind him. He did not come here to take pity on the poor people. He came here because he clearly sensed that there was a large number of souls who died because of their natural end or some illness.

Souls kept departing from this land at every minute and every second. At the same time, souls were being reincarnated as well.

Death and new life formed a vague state of balance here.

Compared to the cities with an intact ecosystem, the cycle of life and death turned more quickly here.

A mysterious power with slight Yin attribute emanated from this constant cycle of life and death. It lingered in the air.

Lu Sheng looked up.

The skies were clearly boundless with a cloud in sight. However, in Lu Sheng's eyes, it was covered by thick gray clouds.

'Such a vast amount of reincarnation power will only be retained when life and death are cycled together.' Lu Sheng sighed inwardly.

The poor people here numbered more than 100,000. The slums had more than 100,000 residents to begin with, and with the war going on, the refugees from the Light Church Nation and the Shadow Church Nation came flooding in.

Lu Sheng was only standing at the edge of this vast slum.

He was standing on the edge, but what he saw when he looked up was the vast reincarnation power which had been accumulated here for 100 years.

”Nature's path, the cycle of the heavenly rules. If I absorb this reincarnation power, I'll have to shoulder the karma and wishes contained within.” Lu Sheng knew this. This was just like the time when he was living in the town.

However, he had already gained enough insight on the rules at this moment. The only thing he lacked to improve his Heart Image World was sufficient reincarnation power.

This power before him was just the right amount to help him rank up.

Lu Sheng had been in the Void Underworld tier for quite some time now. However, he was still stuck at the first stage, Initiation.

If he absorbed this reincarnation power, he would have completely filled the gap, and he would be able to enter the next tier.

Lu Sheng stood where he was for a while. The two girls behind him were starting to get impatient.

He suddenly took a step forward.

”Fuh…”

There was a breeze.

Lu Sheng stood silently where he was. In the skies invisible to the eyes of the mortals, the gray clouds started rolling. Countless tendrils extended out of them and shot toward the ground.

”Hiss…”

The reincarnation power morphed into gray clouds which came crashing down. The clouds surged wildly into Lu Sheng's mouth, nostrils, ears, and eyes.

His Heart Image World started shaking violently. The living souls within it originally had a hard time being reborn as new life after their deaths. However, with the influx of this reincarnation power, every death of a soul would trigger the birth of a new soul.

The path of reincarnation was finally completed with the supply of this vast energy.

Lu Sheng's first stage of his Void Underworld tier was completely stabilized now.

His insights about the Godhoods in his mind began surging into his Heart Image World as well.
