She knew very well that the golden age of prosperity in the world was about to end, starting from the revival of the evil demons from outside the domain.
Next, what we are about to face... will be a catastrophe that is difficult to overcome.
... ...
At the same time, within the Udu ancient tribe.
As the ancient clan most severely affected by the disaster of extraterritorial evil demons, the Yudu ancient clan lost all their ancestral lands, and about 20% of their descendants died in the disaster, with countless people seriously injured.
The entire Udugu clan, from top to bottom, is filled with an atmosphere of despair. Thirty to forty percent of the Udu clan members have already disobeyed clan orders and secretly left the Udugu clan.
But the current head of the Utogu clan, Uto Makoto, was not at all panicked by all this.
At this time, he stayed in the fallen ancestral land all day long, living with the evil demons from outside the domain. Since the disaster began, he had completely cut off contact with his tribesmen.
The elders of the Udugu tribe tried to contact the tribe leader several times, but the tribe leader declined all visits, leaving the Udugu tribe with no choice but to give up on the tribe leader.
... But what no one knows is that Utoshiro, the current clan leader, is actually... the first clan leader of the Utoku clan.
He is of the same generation as Nangong.
With the help of his ancestors' spiritual manifestations and the method of planting demons in their hearts, he seized the bodies of countless descendants. Finally, he regained the position of patriarch in this era and was able to advance his plan.
No one knew that this sudden crisis of foreign evil demons was reignited by Yu Ducheng.
In the dark and closed space, Yu Ducheng, who appeared with the appearance of a stern middle-aged man, had his eyes closed. Beside him was a small piece of flesh of an alien demon, which was twisting and struggling, but was tightly suppressed by magic and could not move.
"Sure enough... I guessed correctly, this evil demon from outside the domain was indeed left behind by the 'God'."
Yuto Cheng opened his eyes and showed a slightly surprised expression.
He looked at the remains of the evil demon from outside the domain with extremely burning and greedy eyes.
"In front of 'God', what's the use of being a Great Saint or a Great Emperor! This is the real power... Even the Great Dao will collapse in front of Him, and no one can resist!"
Nangong had glimpsed the figure of "Him" at the end of the Avenue of Collapse, and Yu Ducheng, who was of the same generation and comparable to Nangong, had the same experience.
But the difference is that Nangong saw other people's paths, while Yu Ducheng was unfortunately glimpsed on his own path of collapse.
After the collapse of the Great Dao, all the cultivators who embarked on this Great Dao had their cultivation based on the laws of the Great Dao completely destroyed, and fell directly from the Great Sage realm to the Yuhua realm, just like the White Tiger Spirit.
What a horrible thing...
Chapter 216 Let Master Check Your Body
Not everyone can accept their fall in realm and reduction in power as calmly as the White Tiger Spirit.
Yu Ducheng, who once stood at the end of the road, could never accept himself being so weak.
After the road he was on completely collapsed, Yu Ducheng was unwilling to be confined to the Yuhua realm.
In order to break through this horrible and desperate limitation, Yu Ducheng can only take another path.
But unfortunately... all his talents have been invested in the previous path, and there is no way he can make any further progress on the new path.
It is precisely because of this situation that Yuto Cheng has no choice but to find another way.
Since it is limited by his talent, he should just get a body with better talent. Anyway, he has many descendants, and there are plenty of them with outstanding talents.
Thus, Yu Ducheng embarked on the path of planting demons in his heart, and lived in this form that was neither human nor ghost until the present world.
It's just... after the end of the Eternal Era, the spiritual power of heaven and earth declined drastically. Even if more brilliant geniuses appeared, they could not reach the heights of the Eternal Era.
In this era, the Great Sage is already a rare talent, and those who have reached the Sea Crossing Realm can already serve as the backbone of the clan's combat power.
This was absolutely unimaginable in the ancient times. All of this was caused by the great catastrophe in the ancient times, which caused the collapse of many great ways.
Moreover, the Demon in the Heart of Dao is not without its shortcomings. Basically, after Yu Ducheng successfully controls his body, his talent will drop to a certain level.
It seems unlikely that Yuto Makoto will be able to return to the top.
—Until he discovered that the power contained in the remains of the evil demon was very similar to the feeling the figure at the end of the collapsed avenue gave him.
Thus, a plan emerged that was destined to cost the lives of most of the tribe members.
"Although there was a small mistake, I didn't expect that the difficult Nangong clan still had a backup plan... But it doesn't matter. They can only solve three or four crises at most, and there are still several remaining... It is enough for this former emperor-level extraterritorial evil demon to recover to the great saint realm."
Yu Ducheng slowly opened his eyes, and the remains of the alien demon beside him withered instantly, leaving only shapeless flesh and blood residues.
Almost all the special powers have been absorbed by Yuto Makoto, and he can feel that he is getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This kind of strengthening has no shackles and seems to be endless.
"This is the power that a 'God' should have..."
Yu Ducheng's face showed a hint of intoxication, and he smacked his lips with satisfaction. He was also looking forward to the extent of the "divine power" of the foreign evil demon who was promoted to the realm of the Great Sage.
Before he triggered all the extraterritorial demon crises, he had already laid backup plans everywhere except the Nangong clan's ancestral land.
The main reason is that Nangong Zudi Yu Ducheng cannot get close to him. The everlasting flame is not just for show. It is absolutely destructive to cultivators who have not been exposed to the law of the end.
Apart from the members of the Nangong clan, only freaks like Luo Xue can come and go freely.
"As long as I can use all of this 'divine power', it is not impossible to reach the realm of Great Sage... No, Great Emperor." Yu Ducheng began to imagine the infinitely beautiful future, but a little regret still appeared on his face, "It's a pity that only this foreign evil demon has the 'divine power'..."
It’s not that Yu Ducheng hasn’t looked for other evil demons from outside the domain. It’s just that, although these evil demons from outside the domain look more grotesque than each other and seem to have no difference, the difference in their original power is greater than that between humans and pigs.
Humans and pigs are both living beings after all. The powers possessed by different extraterritorial demons may be very different. They are all a bunch of weird powers that are mixed together from nowhere.
Yu Ducheng speculated that this evil demon from outside the Great Emperor's domain must have been blessed by "God" to have such power.
Just being related to "God" has already reached the realm of the Great Emperor. If you are directly favored by "God"...
"But it doesn't matter. After I rule the world, I'll have plenty of time to explore."
Thinking of this, Yu Ducheng took out a piece of flesh and blood from the evil demon from outside the domain out of thin air and continued to absorb the "power of God".
As time went by, Yuto Cheng's body had gradually adapted to the "divine power" and was absorbing it at an increasingly faster speed. His body and soul had undergone some indescribable changes, as if they were gradually transforming into a certain concept.
When he closed his eyes, countless phantom eyes slowly emerged from his body, greedily spying on the world.
... ... .
The sky is always gray and the ground is always cruel.
Endless natural disasters strike the earth all the time, with severe cold and scorching heat alternating between the two, as if it were an eternal cycle.
In the dark night and in the glaring daylight, there is only silent wailing and crying.
"Is this... the world where Master is?"
Dugu Xue slowly opened her eyes, looking a little dazed.
Xueling stayed beside her silently. Although Xueling was a puppet with certain logical calculation abilities, she was just a puppet after all and could not answer Dugu Xue's questions.
After accepting the inheritance from Luo Xue, Dugu Xue discovered that there were some remaining fragments of memory in these inheritances.
Luo Xue did not have any inheritance jade slip in her hand. She directly copied part of her memory and gave it to Dugu Xue.
But what she didn't notice was that in this stripped away part of her memory, there was also a part of unrecognizable fragments, which recorded the appearance of the post-apocalyptic world.
During this period, in addition to practicing, Dugu Xue has been feeling these fragmented memory fragments and experiencing the cruelty of another world.
As the daughter of Emperor Dugu, although Dugu Xue did not know much about her father's affairs, she still knew some things that she should know.
For example, the true origin of her father, and where her brothers and sisters are.
Everyone knows that the Qin Dynasty is prosperous in military fortune and that the emperor's sons and princesses are all talented generals, but what no one knows is... where the battlefield of the emperor's sons and princesses is.
Dugu Xue knew that it was in Guixu, her father’s hometown.
Their enemies are not only the evil demons from outside the domain, but also other monsters wandering around in Guixu.
There are many different worlds in Guixu, most of which are desolate, and only a few of them occasionally have signs of civilization. But finding these civilizations is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Master's hometown... should be in one of these civilizations."
Everyone has secrets, and the master is no exception. Dugu Xue just thought that this was a little secret of the master that she discovered by accident, and she planned to bury it deep in her heart and not tell anyone else.
"Xue Ling," Dugu Xue propped up her chin, swung her legs leisurely, and looked towards the cave entrance expectantly, "When do you think Master will be back?"
In fact, Dugu Xue just asked casually, but she didn't expect Xue Ling to suddenly speak.
"ten."
"Hmm?" Dugu Xue was stunned for a moment. "Xue Ling, you just spoke? Ten... does it mean ten days later?"
"Nine."
"Huh?"
"eight."
"Eh hey hey?"
At this moment, Dugu Xue's brain froze and she couldn't understand something, but Xue Ling's countdown continued.
"... ..."
"two."
"one."
"Hiss, am I in the right place?" A familiar voice sounded, with a hint of doubt, "But I remember that the cave was not this big..."
“Master!”
Dugu Xue stood up in surprise, but seemed a little staggering due to her weak body.
Xueling helped her up calmly, then instantly appeared in front of Luo Xue.
For a moment, Dugu Xue's surprised expression froze.
She slowly lowered her head, looked at the black-haired girl who was half a head shorter than her, and said with some stammering,
"...Master?"
Is this really Master
Her appearance seems to be more beautiful than the previous master, but the master clearly had long silver hair... and was not that short, right
It has to be said that, apart from the bonus of silver hair, Nangong's appearance is still slightly better than Luo Xue's own.
"Little Dugu, long time no see." Luo Xue raised her hand and touched Dugu Xue's head, and said with emotion, "It's only been a few months, and you've grown so tall."
The last time we met, Xue'er was a little shorter than me.
I have to say that adolescent girls are good, they grow taller so fast.
"I... shouldn't have grown taller, right?" Dugu Xue said uncertainly.
Even if he has grown taller, it has only been a few months. It is possible that he has grown taller than Master by going from being a little shorter to being about half a head taller than Master now.
"... ..."
Luo Xue was silent for a while, and it was obvious that she had realized what was going on.
She put down her hand calmly and changed the subject naturally.
"Xiao Dugu, how has your training been during this period?"
"I have followed Master's instructions and am now ready to build my foundation." Dugu Xue replied, but still couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, why have you changed..."
"Oh, I haven't told you about this yet."
Luo Xue thought about it and felt that Dugu Xue, who was new to the immortal world, might not understand her experiences during this period. She had not yet understood the great principles and laws, so she briefly explained.
"My body and soul are gone, and now I have a puppet as a container... My current appearance is the appearance of the Nangong clan's ancestor when he was a child."
"... .ah?"
It doesn’t matter if it’s not simple. Once it’s simple, Dugu Xue will be dumbfounded.
"Master, do you mean... that you are already dead?"
"I'm not dead. It's better to say that I can't die even if I want to." Luo Xue waved her hand, "It's just that my body and soul are destroyed, but my consciousness is still there... It's no big deal."
The Eternal Immortal Soul is no joke; it is as dangerous as the Eternal Withering Body.
The danger lies in that the eternal and immortal soul is destined to become a lonely ghost, and no body can carry such a powerful soul.
Although he is immortal, he can only survive in the world as a soul. Because of the nature of his immortal will, he can only stay away from living beings as much as possible, otherwise a crisis similar to that of the immortal zombies in the secret realm of the Sea of Blood may break out.
The reason why Luo Xue didn't encounter these situations now was all because of the puppets specially made by Li Guijiao... But these puppets are limited in number after all, so Luo Xue still has to find a suitable container.
After hearing what Luo Xue said, Dugu Xue didn't know what expression to show.
