Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1818 - 1816: I Didn’t Tell You to Refine It
On a towering spirit mountaintop in Dingzhou, as far as the eye could see, a sea of clouds surged and shifted, resembling a fairyland.
Lu Ye's voice continually rang out, occasionally supplemented by Yang Ling and Hu Dequan.
Gradually, everything that had happened in the Core World was completely revealed before Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing.
When they learned that the Red Talisman Society had been hiding in the Core World for years, facing enemies many times more powerful, and with Sun Blaze sitting among them, yet they had not submitted, both Sun Blaze nodded slightly.
The foreign cultivators they had chosen back then had been selected after a long period of observation and training. Looking back now, most of these dispatched cultivators were trustworthy.
Upon learning that the treasure blood of the Blood Ancestor in the Core World had developed spiritual intelligence, Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing couldn't help but change their expressions.
They also didn't know that a drop of the treasure blood of the Blood Ancestor had remained in the Core World, and that the blood had actually nurtured spiritual intelligence, aiming to stain the core origin.
However, they finally understood why Moon Jade of the Dwarf Race found nothing whenever she went searching. According to Lu Ye's speculation, it was because the core origin protected the Dwarf Race cultivators, preventing them from entering the Core World. Whenever a Dwarf Race cultivator entered the marvel, the Core World would avoid them.
The foreign cultivators they sent did not receive this kind of treatment. Some encountered the core and wandered in, while others returned empty-handed.
Through the gentle narration, the whole process of the final battle in the origin space was made known to the two Sun Blaze of the Dwarf Race.
After Lu Ye finished speaking, both Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai's expressions turned peculiar.
Chen Xuanhai looked at him with surprise and doubt: "So, at the final moment of that battle, the core consciousness used itself as a cage to imprison the treasure blood consciousness, and then you refined them all?"
"Yes!"
Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing exchanged a glance, seeing what was on each other's mind, and then Chen Xuanhai cautiously asked, "After refining the origin, what changes have you noticed?"
Lu Ye said, "Not much change in myself, but I can easily control the Core World with the origin, and I can also mobilize the Core World's essence. On the way back, I encountered an insect hive, and with this method, I sealed an Insect Race Sun Blaze in the Core World and destroyed it."
Despite having anticipated it, Chen Xuanhai couldn't help but feel amused when Lu Ye said this. As for the Insect Race Sun Blaze being killed, though significant, it was not much compared to the current situation.
Seeing Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing's expressions turning somewhat odd, Lu Ye suspiciously asked, "What's wrong? Is there something inappropriate?"
Chen Xuanhai opened his mouth as if finding it difficult to speak, and finally, he waved his hand, "Junior Sister, you tell him."
Su Yuqing nodded, looked at Lu Ye with gentle eyes, and said, "Lu Ye, during your travels in the stellar space, have you heard of the title World Lord?"
"Yes!" Lu Ye nodded.
In the Indeterminate World of the four galaxies, Jyang Shang was a World Lord, and in the Jade Conch World, there was also a World Lord called Qiu Wu.
Su Yuqing continued, "There are actually two types of World Lords: True World Masters and False World Lords."
Lu Ye was puzzled, "There's such a distinction? How can one tell the difference?"
Su Yuqing explained, "The biggest difference between true and false World Lords is whether they have refined the origin of a world! Those who have not refined a world's origin, called World Lords, are merely respected by the local cultivators. They might be the strongest or the most esteemed in the world, but either way, they do not have many advantages in their world. True World Masters, on the other hand, having refined the origin of the world, can mobilize the essence of their world at will, as you did when suppressing the Insect Race Sun Blaze. At a thought, they can even change the world drastically or break it apart. Such a World Lord is truly the master of that world."
As Su Yuqing spoke, she looked at Lu Ye with a complex expression in her eyes.
Chen Xuanhai also watched him with a similar expression, unable to help but curse internally.
Sending Lu Ye to the Demon Eye Marvel was meant for him to explore information about the core. The Dwarf Race hadn't held much hope since generations of Dwarves had tried for ages without success. As long as Lu Ye could uncover some intelligence about the core, it would be a tremendous gain.
No one expected that in just a few years, only at the Moon Jade Mid-Stage, Lu Ye would actually bring the core out of the marvel. Not only that, but he also refined the core origin and became the core's master!
The core's return is a good thing, but having a master for the core is not, especially since the master is not of Dwarf Race descent!
It's imaginable that when the three parts of Mount Fangcun merge, Lu Ye, as the master of the core, would naturally become the master of the entire Mount Fangcun!
This was what the Blood Ancestor coveted back in the day, but never achieved.
They asked you to find the core, not to refine it!
With two Sun Blaze eyes fixed on him, Lu Ye blinked, realizing something, and turned to Chen Xuanhai, declaring righteously, "Rest assured, Senior Brother, though I am of the human race, since I am Dao companions with Yuqing, my heart is surely aligned with our Dwarf Race. I will never do anything to betray the Dwarf Race. My loyalty is as clear as the heavens and earth, the sun and moon bear witness!" He spoke while reaching out to hold Su Yuqing's hand, grasping it firmly.
Su Yuqing immediately blushed deeply, struggled hard for a moment, but couldn't free herself...
Yang Ling and Hu Dequan were shocked, hurriedly looking up at the sky or down at their feet...
Xiang Yin and sister also averted their gaze in time.
Chen Xuanhai felt a headache coming on... Just a moment ago, when they first met, Lu Ye addressed Su Yuqing as Senior Sister. Now that he's aware of the importance, he calls her Yuqing. This person is too realistic.
Taking a few deep breaths, Chen Xuanhai finally managed to steady his somewhat chaotic breathing. After pondering for a while, he said, "This matter is of great importance, it must be immediately reported to the others."
He also knew that Lu Ye's refining of the core origin was not intentional, because according to Lu Ye's previous accounts, it was the Origin Consciousness guiding him. Otherwise, how could Lu Ye, a Moon Jade Mid-Stage, possibly refine the core?
When Mount Fangcun was intact in the past, it wasn't that no Insect Race Sun Blaze from the Dwarf Race tried refining the origin, but none succeeded.
Mount Fangcun... that is a stellar space supreme treasure! How could it be casually refined by someone?
Lu Ye's refining was a huge coincidence, the erosion of the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood, the weakening of the Origin Consciousness, and the choice at the critical moment of life and death, all these created the reality of a Moon Jade Mid-Stage achieving the status of the core master.
Looking throughout history, such an event has never happened before.
But no matter what, this monumental event still needs to be immediately reported to the Sun Blaze of the other two divisions, and at this moment, surely everyone is waiting for their news.
With a flushed face, Su Yuqing nodded slightly, then turned to Lu Ye and said, "Go to the core."
Lu Ye felt a pinch in the palm of his hand and immediately nodded, "Then let's go."
The group then hurried towards the core area again.
Halfway there, Su Yuqing transmitted an audio message: "Don't worry, since you've refined the origin, you are the rightful Origin Lord. When Mount Fangcun merges in the future, you will also be the master of the entire Mount Fangcun. The Dwarf Race will not be hostile towards you, but this matter is of great significance, and they need some time to accept it."
Lu Ye nodded, "I'm not worried."
He actually hadn't realized these issues before, but after hearing Su Yuqing's explanation, he understood how significant his refining of the origin was to the Dwarf Race.
From another perspective, if a foreign clan cultivator suddenly refined the origin of the Nine Provinces and became the master of the Nine Provinces, Lu Ye and other cultivators would certainly find it hard to remain calm, even if that foreign clan cultivator made great contributions to the Nine Provinces.
In a short while, they reached a spacious area in the Core World.
Lu Ye stood quietly to the side, waiting. Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai were busy setting up a complex big array.
Lu Ye knew that cultivators of each division in Mount Fangcun could travel back and forth at some cost. Previously, he had traveled from the Western Region to the Eastern Region.
But such travel not only required resources but also certain special methods, and only the Dwarf Race could utilize these methods within Mount Fangcun.
No one else could use them.
The formation being set up in front of them was undoubtedly something like a bridge.
After being busy for several days, the two Sun Blaze finally completed their work. Su Yuqing looked up towards Lu Ye, "You just wait outside."
Lu Ye nodded.
The next moment, the two Sun Blaze's Mental Consciousness surged, and as the powerful Soul Power fluctuated and spread, Lu Ye immediately felt immense pressure and couldn't help but step back.
The array runes of the setup big array shimmered and gradually transformed into light, enveloping the figures of the two Sun Blaze.
In a phantom hall, the blurred figures of Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing began to appear, and only after they completely solidified did they transmit a message through special means. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Soon, one after another, illusory figures similar to theirs appeared in the hall.
Months later, the Sun Blaze from the three divisions gathered again.
Someone urgently asked, "Have you arrived? What is the situation now?"
Before Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing could answer, someone responded, "Since Senior Brother Chen and Junior Sister Su can project here, they must already be at the core. Our Junior Brother Lu is truly amazing, he actually managed to bring out the core, hahaha!"
Upon these words, the emotions of the many Sun Blaze reached a high. Just as the person said, since Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing could project themselves here, they must have entered the Core World; otherwise, such a feat would not be possible.
Moreover, considering the timing, they indeed should have reached the Jade Conch by now.
For a moment, the atmosphere was warm, and the Sun Blaze from each division were in good spirits.
"Senior Brother Chen, go ahead?" said the first Sun Blaze to speak.
Chen Xuanhai nodded and began to recount the information he had learned from Lu Ye. Many Sun Blaze listened attentively.
When they heard that Lu Ye had actually refined the core and now became the Origin Lord, the group of Sun Blaze was instantly dumbfounded.
