I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 464 - 255: Humanity’s Lighthouse
Deep within the Imperial Mausoleum.
Peals of thunder echoed out from the ancient black forest.
In this endless primal jungle, countless ancient creatures from the Melting Dragon Era lived.
In the sky, gigantic red-winged dragons circled, unihorn giant ants, and swarms of insects fluttered, surrounding several herbivorous giant beasts continuously wagging their tails.
Boom!
On a clearing deep within the forest, a towering primitive black-furred Ancient Ape suddenly thrust upward, hoisting a beast several hundred meters tall onto a grilling rack.
"Immortal Path..."
"Xin Xichen? The second most powerful being in human history?"
"It’s just a matter of catching a good era; advanced Cultivation Techniques, advanced bloodlines... that’s what makes him second."
The Ancient Ape ripped large chunks of roast meat, its mouth dripping with grease.
"It’s about time to go out." A cold and wild male voice shouted from the throat of the Human Ape.
Almost everywhere in the Imperial Mausoleum, similar voices appeared.
...
...
Capital City.
A tranquil and peaceful scene.
Surrounded by the Historical Painting Wall on the throne, Xin Xichen’s face turned grim, pondering deeply, "Who exactly... what entity is calculating against me."
He had been very irritable these days.
He is a person with an extreme desire for control, absolutely forbidding anything to surpass his chessboard.
But unexpectedly, someone unforeseen appeared.
Even the Core of the Chronicles of Time shattered.
Shattered into five pieces.
Although the Core of the Chronicles of Time had long been overwhelmed, its shattering was inevitable.
Yet he still couldn’t accept it.
"The ancient people in their tombs, not one of them individually is my match."
Xin Xichen whispered.
He is, after all, the second most powerful being in human history!
By logic, however dazzling those ancients were in their era, they would long be outdated!
But is that truly the case?
No one knows what Divine Techniques those ancient dynasties possessed.
Perhaps, some might have similar Divine Techniques akin to his Xin Dynasty’s Royal Family.
Those ancient Saints who pushed through the world and eventually died of old age, did they leave any contingencies in their Imperial Mausoleum before they died?
No one knows.
Could they not foresee that future eras would progress and, after millions of years, upon emerging from their Ancient Tombs might lack combat power?
They surely must have foreseen it.
So, what Divine Techniques are hidden in their tombs, able or not to swiftly adapt to the new era like the Firewood Divine Techniques, no one knows.
"The best method is to block the door."
Xin Xichen stated:
"Block the door, cut off their channels of information from the outside world, prevent them from acquiring new era resources like I do."
The Emperor guards the nation’s gate.
This is the best method.
His Majesty Jiushui is exactly this way.
He was very powerful at the time, mainly due to the fact that those people in the Ancient Tomb could not emerge, unable to contact new era information, upgrade versions.
Seal the door, fight a group of ancient primitives!
Frankly speaking, the farther back in antiquity, the lower the combat power, this is a common rule.
Indeed, some ultra-ancient Saints, even if placed in this era, are no match for some ordinary Sect Leader level of a Great Sect.
Their Same Tier Powerhouses of the era, might even battle a Remote Ancient Self-Transformation Realm across levels!
This does not mean the ancient Saints are too weak, but the era is too ancient.
Yet if this group with outdated combat power manages to absorb contemporary information, it’s estimated not even His Majesty Jiushui alone could withstand all of them!
His eyes flashed with a trace of coldness:
"Guard the nation’s gate, that’s all."
"They can’t come out, they won’t obtain anything."
"But now they have sent advance parties, collecting information throughout the Nine-State, attacking Middle Grade, Upper Grade level forces, clearly wanting to obtain new era information."
"Hopefully no Great Sect’s High Tier inheritance leaks out; if obtained, then following the new era would be disastrous."
Just then, someone walked into Between the Scales.
Dao Yueniang’s aura fluctuated, a majestic presence rising from her.
"I have reached One Heart Realm."
"Indeed worthy of being the Ghost King." On the throne, Xin Xichen praised.
"But my logic still has flaws, doesn’t it?" As a Ghost King, Dao Yueniang naturally recognized the reality of her being a Ghost.
Xin Xichen shook his head, "This flaw from the unnatural awakening is too significant, the logical defect of the Ghost still exists."
"Help me get through a period, I’ll continue consuming Ghosts, and step into Self-Transformation Realm, then none in this world will match me." Dao Yueniang stated.
She knew once she reached Self-Transformation Realm, with the unprecedented Immortal Spirit Root, she would surely dominate, invincible across all Same Tiers, oppressing the entire era.
Even though she holds only the realm without any time to research her own Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques, mere brute force alone would suffice to crush the ancient Saints buried in their tombs!
So.
Those ancient beings will not give her this cycle of sun and moon, the opportunity to break through the Self-Transformation Realm.
They are about to take action!!
They want to seize the Immortal Spirit Root Cultivation Technique of the Holy Land Saint and attack this sun and moon.
"This is exactly what I intend. I will hold them off for a while, thereafter, you shall govern the [Chronicles of Time], you will be responsible for illuminating the Imperial Mausoleum’s sun and moon, scorching them every day."
"The Imperial Mausoleum will become an eternal scorching hell, burning them at every moment!"
Xin Xichen has considerable trust in Dao Yueniang.
He knows Dao Yueniang’s secrets, her logic flaws, and even the Artifact Control Spell for this Eternal Sun and Moon Magical Artifact!
This was left to him by His Majesty Jiushui before his death, allowing him to fully control this sun and moon.
Checked countless times, with no hidden traps, hence he trusts Dao Yueniang so much.
His Majesty Jiushui has his own strong spirit, these subtle tricks he disdains to use.
"I hope you put in some effort."
Dao Yueniang said softly, "His Majesty Jiushui has already laid out so many contingencies for your ascension before his death, you can’t be helpless with all this, right?"
"Those prodigies are there for you to enhance yourself, and my unprecedented Seven Spirit Roots cycle Artifact Spirit is also given to you."
"Yet you still walked to this point, being constantly schemed against."
Dao Yueniang spoke while shaking her head, revealing a trace of disdain.
Xin Xichen’s forehead veins popped with rage, yet he could not refute, ultimately only letting out a breath, "I think you must have been an utterly mischievous person when alive."
But he indeed felt somewhat angry.
Not at others, but at himself.
His Majesty Jiushui was clearly his enemy, yet with such a generous spirit, leaving the dynasty to him, and paving various paths, waiting for his [Firewood] to forge a future, creating a new mythological flourishing era!
But he just couldn’t hold it!
His pride made him extremely uncomfortable:
"Rest assured, in the end, I will inevitably win."
Dao Yueniang shook her head while looking at his back.
Just hoping he could hold on for a while, allowing herself to break through to the Self-Transformation Realm.
After that, whether the Xin Dynasty Saint would live or die, it had nothing to do with her.
Should he win, he would be able to dominate her, and she could accept being dominated, the might of [Firewood] indeed fits best for a Saint, assisting him wouldn’t be impossible.
Should he be defeated and die, he would lose all memory of this period, and upon rebirth, he wouldn’t remember the spell for controlling this [Sun and Moon], nor its fatal flaw.
Then she would be free.
So, regardless of the Xin Dynasty Saint’s victory or defeat, she could stabilize the situation.
This is also a contingency left by His Majesty Jiushui.
That person schemed too much during his lifetime, all interlinked, just to ensure the people of Nine-State wouldn’t suffer a calamity.
...
Ximen Metropolis.
An elderly man with white hair stepped out of the teleportation array.
He was from the Tricolor Violet Continent, a Divine Doctor.
Tri-Colored Cloud Rainbow, that was his name, the first Divine Doctor in name throughout Nine-State, also the chief court physician in the era of His Majesty Jiushui.
When the Saint was attacked in the eyes, he was the first summoned to treat!
Initially, the divine doctor legacy of the Tricolor Violet Continent couldn’t swallow their pride and was reluctant to come.
But now that things have come to this point, they won’t, for that laughable stubbornness, refuse to lend a hand for humanity’s future!
His gaze fell upon the prosperous academy, showing a heavy expression: "Here, it shall be the beacon for humanity, guiding us to forge a new civilization, and also the hope of the apocalypse."
They are to join in the construction of the Ark, divine-level professionals around the world will gather here to research the salvation plan!
And in this human apocalypse fortress city, Ximen is bound to become the first comprehensive professional holy land in Nine-State.
"Here, it will be the forefront base for human research on the Immortal Path era."
This elder sighed deeply.
All the way, various vehicles of bizarre kinds, clearly an Artifact Refining City.
All sorts of semi-experimental, cutting-edge magical artifacts are tested here!
Even the air carried a sweet fragrance.
Being received into the academy, this immortally poised elder reached the College of Agriculture, soon seeing a group of old friends gathered around the projection of several furnaces. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Open, open!"
"This time, it’s certainly out!"
"This time it’s an Immortal Beast, Cloud-Stepping Qilin Dragon!"
"Impossible, the scheme for this blood and flesh is absolutely wrong!"
"I also think this Qilin and Dragon can’t be completed through the Flying Eagle as a blood and flesh intermediary creature, for fusion breeding!"
Their faces red with argument, and opposite the projection was a pretty beauty host, hosting the Creation Furnace with a professional smile.
On the opposite of the live broadcast room, behind the beauty was a wooden signboard.
[Rank 1, Doukou Hong, 32 million Magic Coins]
[Rank 2, Rose Cai, 13 million Magic Coins]
...
How can there be a ranking list here?
Tri-Colored Cloud Rainbow watched in silence, "How is the research of Immortal Beasts somewhat different from what I imagined?"
"Worthy of being humanity’s frontier region, truly extraordinary."
