Statues, Aren't You Afraid of Shortening Your Lifespan?! First Update
Ancient God Palace.
The palace was in an uproar, but nothing seemed amiss yet; danger was imminent.
Lu Changsheng walked slowly, his eyes filled with boundless chaotic energy.
The War God followed closely behind.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng looked ahead and stopped.
They were standing still, human-shaped statues holding Long Spear and wearing armor.
The statues are all remarkably similar in shape and appearance, arranged in neat rows, exuding an inexplicable aura.
It was outside the Ancient God Palace that Lu Changsheng saw those figures.
Like guardians in the Ancient God Palace, protecting Ancient God Palace.
"War God, do you know what's going on with these statues?"
Looking at the statues, Lu Changsheng asked the War God.
These statues, placed here, are clearly not ordinary statues.
Moreover, these statues are all surrounded by a mysterious aura, which is quite extraordinary and further proves that the statues are unusual.
Lu Changsheng guessed that, according to normal understanding, these statues should immediately awaken and revive after the group triggered some kind of restriction, in order to kill them, the outsiders.
But Lu Changsheng didn't say anything. He was worried that if he did, the guess might actually come true, or things might actually come to pass, which would cause more trouble.
Upon hearing this, the War God looked over and gazed at the rows of statues.
"Brother, these are all Ancient God's Servant Guard, much stronger than the ferocious beasts that have revived outside. As long as we obtain the Ancient God Inheritance and control the Ancient God Palace, we can also control these guardians."
The War God said this.
"Then why did the ferocious beasts revive, but these guards did not?"
Lu Changsheng continued speaking.
"I don't know about that." The War God shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps it's not the right time yet, or someone needs to trigger some Ancient God Palace's restrictions before it will awaken."
Lu Changsheng: ""
Don't jinx it.
After glancing at it twice, Lu Changsheng didn't look at it any further.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. In my entire life, I, Heavenly Emperor Lu, have never been afraid.
As he walked, Lu Changsheng suddenly sensed an aura not far away.
It's Wang Xiu's aura.
The life force within Wang Xiu's body was forcibly extended by Lu Changsheng using the Great Life Art.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng was very sensitive to this aura.
The life force is very weak now, which means Wang Xiu's condition is very bad.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng quickened his pace.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw a motionless body lying on the ground ahead.
This body is Wang Xiu.
Unaware of what had happened to the other person, their life force was almost completely extinguished.
It was almost the same situation as when Lu Changsheng first met Wang Xiu —half-dead.
"Young friend, you've finally arrived."
An aged voice rang out, carrying a hint of bitterness, a touch of grievance, and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
During the short time he was inside the Ancient God Palace, he constantly longed for Lu Changsheng's appearance and arrival.
Back in the Sword Peak Mountains of the Ancient God Mountain Range, through countless years, even as he faced imminent death, he remained completely unmoved.
Because of his unwavering obsession, he was devoid of emotion.
But now, he wants to live, to keep living.
At least satisfy this obsession of mine, confirm the secret behind this Ancient God Mountain Range before dying.
Following Lu Changsheng, he saw hope, he saw countless hopes.
Lu Changsheng didn't say much, but stepped forward and used the Great Life Art on Wang Xiu.
In an instant, a life force emerged from Wang Xiu's physical body, allowing him to stand up.
"Thank you, young friend."
Feeling the immense vitality within him, Wang Xiu immediately clasped his hands in gratitude.
"No need to be so polite."
Lu Changsheng spoke in a very refined and kind manner.
"So weak?"
The War God of War, standing behind Lu Changsheng, watched all this with a slight pause and a look of astonishment.
When the War God first met Wang Xiu, he thought he was Lu Changsheng's servant and didn't pay any attention to him.
Behind them, they heard Wang Xiu and Lu Changsheng addressing each other as "senior" and "young friend".
This led the War God to believe that Wang Xiu was not just a seemingly simple person, but actually a profound and unfathomable master.
After all, how can an ordinary person have their older brother call them "senior" or "young friend"?
Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?
Upon seeing this scene, the War God felt a surge of displeasure.
I really want to say, are you worthy?
Moreover, the War God recalled that along the way, every time he avoided fighting and didn't make a move, Wang Xiu always looked at him with that strange gaze.
The War God knew exactly what that look meant; it was a look of questioning and accusation.
This made the War God even more unhappy.
However, the War God didn't say anything at the moment, keeping it to himself. He decided that if Wang Xiu looked at him like that again later, he would directly confront him and say, "What are you looking at?"
"Senior, what happened to you just now?"
Lu Changsheng spoke, saying this.
He was curious about what had happened to Wang Xiu.
Because he himself experienced nothing unusual during the process of being pulled into the Ancient God Palace by that invisible force.
Not only him, but also the War God, including those he observed during the process, did not appear to be in danger or have suffered any damage.
Why did Wang Xiu's life force almost disappear?
This aroused his curiosity.
After all, any unusual situation within the Ancient God Palace needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Lu Changsheng gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.
"I don't know either. When an invisible force pulled me in, it was simultaneously extinguishing the life force within me."
"I suspect that the Ancient God Palace has restrictions on the Creation Realm. Although I no longer have the Creation Power, I am still a Creation Body."
Wang Xiu shook his head, then shared his guess.
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, the War God looked at Wang Xiu with horror in his eyes and couldn't help but gasp.
It was as if I had misheard.
A body created by nature!
Then, recalling Wang Xiu's words that his life force had been almost completely extinguished, the War God immediately realized what was happening.
The Ancient God Palace has restrictions on the Creation Realm, and the War God is well aware of this.
When the Ancient God Palace was revived, the War God mentioned that a restriction had appeared, limiting the actions of those in the Creation Realm.
The War God never expected that a Creation Supreme would be by his side.
Moreover, they infiltrated the Ancient God Palace.
What incredible Divine Ability this is! It's simply unfathomable.
No wonder my older brother calls me "senior".
No wonder he can call his elder brother "little friend".
It's not just not simple, it's downright unfathomable.
As for Wang Xiu's statement that he lacked the Creation Power...
The War God understood. Trying to deceive everyone, bypass the Ancient God Mountain Range, and infiltrate the Ancient God Palace would be no easy feat; there would definitely be a price to pay.
This must be the reason why Wang Xiu said he lacked the Creation Power.
This is probably why Wang Xiu acted like his elder brother's servant on the road, but never made a move.
Presumably, this is because there are restrictions, and they won't act unless it's absolutely necessary.
The War God thought to himself, "Thank goodness I didn't start a fight. Otherwise, it would have been incredibly embarrassing, and I would have been humiliated."
Wang Xiu turned his head to look at the War God, somewhat puzzled.
The look of horror and the gasp that the War God had shown when he looked at him were seen by others as an aura of soaring fighting spirit and overwhelming power.
Seeing the look Wang Xiu gave him, the War God immediately calmed down, nodded, and said calmly, "That's right, the restrictions imposed on Creation Realm experts by the Ancient God Palace are even more terrifying than those in the Ancient God Mountain Range."
The War God said this.
Wang Xiu's guess was confirmed, which made him feel uncomfortable. He was already in such a state, what use was his Creation Body? To be targeted like this was simply too much of a bullying.
He looked at Lu Changsheng and asked, "Young friend, what should we do next?"
