Chapter 790: The Calamity Begins
This time, the heavens weeping blood was not the work of Chen Futu.
Moreover, there are people in the world who can kill the Great Emperor-level experts of the Earth Vein Clan, and he is currently engaged in a great battle with that clan somewhere.
Fu Shuang glanced at the various regions and shook her head, saying, "We can't sense who made the move, nor do we know where the fight took place. The situation is probably similar to what you experienced in the ancient battlefield."
"Could it be Qin Hao?"
Chen Futu believed that Qin Hao must have reached the Great Emperor level by now, and with the overpowered nature of his cultivation technique, it was not impossible for him to kill the strongest expert of the earth vein.
Shi Ya breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Qin Hao was still alive.
Next, she wanted to follow Chen Futu and wait for Qin Hao to return. Chen Futu had no objection, but what should Ling Xue do if Qin Hao had someone he liked?
As his master, Chen Futu always believed that Qin Hao and Ling Xue were a match made in heaven, but unexpectedly, a swan appeared out of nowhere.
"System, shouldn't I receive the reward for advancing to the Divine Path?"
On the way back to the thatched cottage, Chen Futu asked a question.
The system lazily replied, "Host, don't forget that the system helped you through the tribulation of the mortal world before. If it weren't for the system's prompt and timely pull-back from the influence of the evil corpse, you would probably be dead already."
"Don't give me that! If I die, what good will it do you? Hurry up!"
Ding!
[Congratulations, host, on stepping into the realm of the gods! The system is issuing rewards.]
[Reward 1: Choose one of the designated Shinto domains]
[Reward 2: One historical figure of your choice]
[Reward 3: Host's physical strength is increased to the Martial God level]
……
"Not bad. Let me introduce the self-selected Shinto domain."
"The sword path that the host currently possesses is in the realm of the divine path. The host can choose a martial path to reach the realm of the divine."
"This is not bad. Can we choose the Path of Power?"
"No."
The system rejected it very decisively; this kind of thing shouldn't even exist in the current world.
Chen Futu pursed his lips: "I'll choose the time."
[Congratulations, host, on entering the realm of divine powers in the rules of time.]
After the system finished speaking, Chen Futu felt an ancient and desolate aura covering his body. Fu Shuang noticed this and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually mastered the rules of time."
Chen Futu smiled and said, "It was just luck."
Time and space are too profound for this world, so even if one reaches the realm of the gods, it is difficult to reverse time. At most, one can stop time, but the time will not be too long.
As for the remaining two rewards, the strength of the current body has indeed reached the level of a Martial God, which is completely different from the previous Emperor-level body.
The self-selected historical figure will most likely be an emperor-level being summoned based on the current level. Moreover, the system has become smarter and set rules that prevent the summoning of fictional or mythological figures, thus preventing uncontrollable variables like Nuwa and the Goddess of Peace from recurring.
Fortunately, our current resources are sufficient to handle any upcoming alien invasions.
Judging by the timeline, the curse of the ley lines will fully awaken in at most another ten or twenty years.
When Chen Futu returned to the thatched cottage, he didn't find Xiaobai. Fu Shuang said, "Her cultivation has also reached a bottleneck, and she has already gone down the mountain."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how far that girl will go in the end."
The stronger Xiaobai is, the safer he is to leave the continent.
In the days that followed, Chen Futu did not return to Lizhou, but instead secluded himself in the thatched cottage to comprehend the Martial God Technique left behind by the Mayfly Martial God.
The Supreme Saintly Mantra is a strange martial god technique that Chen Futu cannot understand at the moment. The things it describes are too profound and complex. Even after trying to comprehend it with the will of a martial god for more than half a month, he has not been able to grasp the basics.
"System, why can't I cultivate this Martial God Technique?" Chen Futu finally asked the question.
The system replied, "Is it possible that the Supreme Derivation Technique is not a Martial God Technique?"
"What do you mean? Is there an even higher realm? Isn't the strongest being in this world the Martial God?"
"The strongest in this world is naturally the Martial God level. Has the host forgotten that finger bone?"
The system's question made Chen Futu feel uneasy. So the Ephemeral Martial God had made a mistake. Although he didn't know where the Martial God had obtained this scroll of cultivation technique, the technique was of a very high level, beyond the reach of even a Martial God. He might as well keep it for now.
Having just entered the realm of Martial God, there is still much to be done in terms of stability and accumulation.
As the days went by, things took an unexpected turn when they left the island.
"Report! Your Majesty, the Wood Clan requests an audience."
Inside the palace, imperial guards hurriedly reported news.
Chen Changsheng asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
"The Wood Clan said there's something extremely urgent, it seems to be about those two trees."
"Let them in!"
Hearing that it was related to the Jianmu tree and the Bodhi tree, Chen Changsheng was truly startled.
Soon, a young man from the Wood Clan entered the main hall, looking anxious. "Your Majesty, the earth vein fluctuations transmitted back by the Jianmu tree have detected a large amount of cursed energy eroding the earth veins of Lizhou. Fortunately, the roots of the Jianmu tree have blocked their erosion, and they are currently gathering in the earth veins deep within the Boundless Sea."
"I never thought this day would come so soon."
Chen Changsheng's face was grim. According to the experience left by his predecessors and the records of ancient times, the invasion of the earth vein race would take at least another one or two decades.
"Summon all civil and military officials immediately to discuss state affairs!"
As soon as Chen Changsheng gave the order, the capital city sprang into action. At the same time, various changes occurred in all the major realms. For example, black gas was seen rising from some fissures in the ground, and mines and some caves became turbulent.
"finally coming?"
"Another great calamity is looming. How will we survive?"
Many emperors who had been in seclusion opened their eyes, their eyes filled with worry and anger.
On this day, the entire continent was shaking, as if something was impacting the barriers of this world.
"What happened?"
After Chen Futu sensed it, he casually asked Fu Shuang, who was sunbathing in the courtyard. Fu Shuang opened her eyes and scanned the various parts of the continent. "It's because the Earth Vein Clan has awakened ahead of schedule. A great war is about to break out."
Upon hearing this, Chen Futu's eyes flashed with divine light. Sure enough, he discovered that black mist was rising from the cracks in the ground, the mines, and the ocean. It was a curse and an omen of misfortune, and strange figures wearing armor were emerging from it.
Especially in the mines, the previously blocked roads were opened up, and the nearest cities were the first to suffer. In the blink of an eye, a great battle broke out.
"coming."
The territory where Danshan is located has ley lines and rivers nearby. When Chen Futu and Fu Shuang reached the edge of the cliff, they saw countless strange figures attacking the mountain gate.
"Enemy attack!"
"Disciples of Danshan, heed my command! Protect the sect!"
With a command from a peak master of the Great Emperor level, the disciples on each main peak charged out one after another.
At this moment, a strange, cursed mist swayed everywhere on Dan Mountain. The disciples were clearly affected, and some of them, whose will was not firm, even picked up swords and slashed at their fellow disciples.
"Alien race, you're asking for death!"
Several peak masters joined forces to disperse the mist and vigilantly watched all directions to prevent any powerful earth vein experts of the Great Emperor level from attacking.
"Aren't you going to make a move?" Chen Futu asked Fu Shuang curiously. Fu Shuang replied, "No rush. This is just an appetizer. The Imperial War hasn't even started yet. If I make a move now, wouldn't it be a joke if they didn't dare to come?"
"Alright, with you here, I'm going back to Lizhou."
