Chapter 584: Chapter 355: After a Thousand Years, You and I Are Both a Handful of Yellow Soil! 【One More!】_2

"Is it that ancient God King, or another mysterious presence comparable to the Ancient God King?"

Lin Yan stepped out of the Temple and walked forward, his gaze gradually becoming solemn.

He suddenly remembered something.

The stone statue behind the Temple was the true form of an ancient spirit!

Yet no one knows its true origin, nor the title it held in the Ancient Era!

Because of this spirit’s presence, the grains prospered, the climate was favorable... food is the essence of life, thus the former Saint Master named it the Heavenly Emperor!

But for some reason, Wutong Divine Mother referred to it as the God King!

Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes.

He once suspected that perhaps this statue in Feng City was indeed the Ancient God King.

However, if it truly were that unspeakably powerful Ancient God King, the human clan’s incense offerings couldn’t possibly suppress Him!

Moreover, it would be impossible to create a new guarding divine thought within the Ancient God King’s body merely with incense offerings!

"Wutong Divine Mother is bound by the contract of the Ancient Immortal, not an indescribable existence either."

Lin Yan thought: "The Ancient God King should rank above the divine position of the Mother!"

In this era, the most powerful Ancient Old God within Qifeng Prefecture is Wutong Divine Mother!

This is not just the knowledge of the human clan!

Throughout the lands of the Three Prefectures, the Ancient Old Gods seen everywhere, including the guardian gods of various cities and those ancient demons, all cannot deny this fact!

In other words, Wutong Divine Mother’s divine authority seems to subtly surpass that of the Heavenly God King of Feng City!

"The title of God King must have a reason."

Lin Yan thought this, reasoning, "And the Heavenly God King of Feng City, using the Thirty-Six Demolishing God Mallets as clues, seems to want to convey something to me, yet cannot be explicit..."

As he pondered this, he suddenly took out a Wutong branch from his bosom, murmuring, "Little one, it’s time to read."

"..."

A moment of silence passed with no response from the Wutong branch.

But the next moment, the little willow venerate across from him, must have recalled something important and replied hastily.

"Master, we’re reading, indeed, we’re reading, and I’m doing it very seriously..."

"Look into all the records about the Demolishing God Mallets!" Lin Yan said.

"Demolishing God Mallets?" The little willow venerate seemed quite puzzled.

"The Prefecture City has already sent people to the Blessed Land."

Lin Yan said slowly, "When the time comes, seek their guidance!"

The Alchemy Pavilion of the Holy Land has dispatched over thirty people, all highly adept in alchemy.

The elders of the Alchemy Pavilion will attempt to create elixir pills using the flesh of Xuan Venerate!

The people from the Observatory will move the Xuan Venerate’s turtle shell and place it in an important boundary of the human clan!

Meanwhile, the academics from the Creation Law Lineage are copying texts day and night.

Soon, these copied texts will be sent to the Blessed Land by the guard army of the Prefecture City.

However, for now, there’s an erudite talent hailing from the Holy Land. It is unknown if he knows of the records regarding the Demolishing God Mallets?

——

In the afternoon.

Fu Zhong walked out of the Feng City Temple.

He carried a banner on his back and a long sword hung at his waist.

His single arm was cradling a jar in front of him.

"The former Flag Master perished for Feng City, in future city chronicles, his name will surely be recorded, and during future sacrifices, there should be incense for him as well." Lin Yan, seeing this, sighed and said, "Why not stay in Feng City Temple?"

"He has already fallen, his body and soul have vanished, what use would incense be to him?" Fu Zhong shook his head and said, "Most of his life was spent on the Taixuan Divine Mountain, and his companions, brothers of the battlefield, are buried in the Taixuan Mountain Range... his remains should be laid to rest there."

"Let’s go." Lin Yan mounted the Jiao Linma, asking, "The City Guard Mansion of Feng City has prepared a black jade steed for you! It was the former Great City Guard’s mount. You and your master have accomplished great feats in Feng City this time, consider it a token of the Great City Guard’s appreciation."

Fu Zhong nodded slightly, leaped onto the black jade steed, and exited the city with Lin Yan.

They left Feng City behind.

On both sides of the road, the common folk were farming.

A new year, with grains being planted now as the seeds of sustenance.

Fu Zhong withdrew his gaze, looking at the box in his arms, and sighed, "In his lifetime, I never really became an apprentice, never called him master, nor did he ever call me a disciple."

"Han Zheng, General Flag Envoy, no, now the Garrison Commander."

Lin Yan said: "I never became an apprentice either, never called him master, nor did he call me a disciple! But everyone outside knows we are indeed master and apprentice... since the beginning of my cultivation, he treated me as one of his own, this teacher-disciple bond has always been real!"

"Yes."

Fu Zhong suddenly bowed his head and looked at this urn and said, "In one’s life, regardless of what great deeds are accomplished, whether life is glorious or plain, whether this life is rich or poor, whether one’s cultivation is strong or weak... in the end, it all becomes a heap of bones."

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "Your achievements now far surpass mine, whether in cultivation, status, rank, fame, everything, I cannot compare! But in a thousand or ten thousand years, you and I will just be a part of the dust!"

Lin Yan laughed, "But at least, when I face death in the future, if I can look back and say I lived this life well, it will be enough!"

"Throughout history, exceptional geniuses have all vanished in the river of time, only the divine spirits remain eternal!"

Fu Zhong said slowly: "If one day you are given the choice to abandon the human race and gain the qualification to become a divine spirit, would you take it?"

Lin Yan frowned, quietly looking at Fu Zhong.

"Since acquiring the Heavenly Mechanism Flag you’ve been speaking so cryptically, have you foreseen something?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Fu Zhong said, "At the far western end of Residual Prison Mansion, crossing the Great Snow Mountain and going further west, there lies a desert, where it’s said there once were Holy Lands, Blessed Lands, vast Pure Lands!"

"Several thousand years ago, the leaders of the human clan there conducted a blood sacrifice of millions to obtain the qualification to become a divine spirit from the Old God!"

"The former Flag Master, during the last movement of the Heavenly Mechanism Flag, exhausted all his energy and spirit to channel starlight."

"When the starlight gathered around the Heavenly Mechanism Flag, a prying gaze glanced over!"

"The former Flag Master determined that it was not a demon, nor an evil spirit, nor an Old God, so... He must be that former unbeatable human!"

"Through the passage of thousands of years, He has not perished!"

After pausing, Fu Zhong continued, "When the Heavenly Mechanism Flag channeled the starlight, He mistakenly believed a new god of the human clan was born, thinking it was a rare great medicine throughout time!"

"In that instant, He revealed a hungry and bloodthirsty desire!"

"But ultimately withdrew His gaze and did not come."

"It was likely that one glance that allowed Him to see us, the master and apprentice, thereby understanding that the heavenly starlight descended only from the Heavenly Mechanism Flag!"

"Our master and apprentice, considering our cultivation levels, did not even enter His eyes, not qualified to be His food!"

"But you surely possess this qualification, even if not today, it will be so tomorrow."

At this point, Fu Zhong remarked, "The Saint Master bears the great luck of the human race, the most nourishing great medicine in this world! It’s just that currently for Him, this great medicine is yet to mature... as you grow, and when the medicine matures, He will surely come for you!"

"..."

Lin Yan furrowed his brow slightly, after a moment, laughed and said, "The ones wanting to kill me are countless! Ancient Old Gods, old demons, for a human traitor like Him... By the time I die, He might not even get a turn!"

"But Ancient Old Gods cannot easily act, ancient demons slumber in various places, He may be an unrestrained existence!"

Fu Zhong turned his head, looking at his shoulder.

There extended a piece of the banner from there.

After pausing, he said, "At least for now, among the great enemies that can reach you, He should be the most formidable existence!"

"..."

Lin Yan remained silent for a moment and said, "Then just wait, if He is truly so formidable, I have no choice but to focus wholeheartedly on cultivation!"

"To quickly become strong enough, wait for Him to harvest the great medicine!"

"Either He consumes me, or I slay Him!"

After pausing, Lin Yan then asked, "Why mention this only after leaving Feng City?"

"..."

Fu Zhong hesitated before saying, "He very likely visited Feng City in the past two days!"
