Lu Mei: I Want a Baby! / The Secret of the Soul

Especially now, as she cautiously glanced at the two beautiful women in white dresses serving her on either side of the throne—one undead and one living—it undoubtedly confirmed this.

Lu Jun, sitting on his throne, was speechless as he watched the little snake below constantly flirting with him, and even Apasi and Tersina seemed quite interested in taking action.

However, when he caught a glimpse of Ding Yumian's ambiguous smile and Nine Nether Queen's feigned resentment in her eyes, he thought, "Forget it, I'm not interested."

Lu Jun felt he was getting carried away. Shaking off his unhealthy thoughts, he became serious and uttered a single word with an air of superiority. "Agreed!"

Then, he waved his hand, allowing the three sisters to move out of the pyramid underworld and take the remains of the Mother of Medusa into his Portable Space.

"Two Emperor-level corpses have been obtained. Next, we'll return to the Ancient Capital to study their resurrection."

Lu Jun thought to himself, "But we still need to leave some experts here to suppress this place. The Corpse of the Mountain Peak and the other Eight Directions Undead Monarchs would be very suitable. So I've decided."

Chapter 621 Lu Mei: I want to have a child!

Lu Jun returned to the Pharaoh Pyramid, summoned the Eight Directions Undead Monarchs, and assigned them the task of guarding it.

Then, he communicated with the void through his thoughts, creating a Silver Vortex that led directly to the Ancient Capital on the other side. He took Ding Yumian with him and stepped into it, their figures disappearing into the Abyss of Calamity in an instant.

In the Ancient Capital Bing Ce Fu, Lu Mei leaned over the table, her fair hand gripping a pen, frowning as she scribbled and revised through a pile of documents, deeply concerned about the development of her power.

After finishing her corrections, she stretched, her yawning gracefully, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.

Recently, the Bing Ce Fu has continued to grow stronger, and the number of high-ranking personnel cultivated and promoted by its own personnel has gradually increased. With ample resources, trusted and direct subordinates such as Professor Yuan, Jun Yaojin, and Qing Yu have all been promoted to Super Rank, and some even have multiple lineages.

Hearing of Lu Jun's illustrious reputation, visiting monks also kept coming to pay their respects and request to join him.

However, Lu Jun suggested maintaining the purity of the team and was unwilling to absorb too many mages from the outside world. Even if they were to recruit, they should try to choose young and promising ones, such as Song Feiyao from before.

Suddenly, Lu Mei's thoughts were interrupted as she sensed a familiar presence and exclaimed with delight, "My brother is back!"

Lu Jun held Ding Yumian's soft hand and walked briskly into the study. Seeing his older sister engrossed in her work, he couldn't help but feel tenderness. He stepped forward and hugged her full figure, whispering, "You've worked hard."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mei's spirits lifted, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of tenderness. A blush rose to her mature and alluring face, and she whispered in Lu Jun's ear, "I want a child."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was deeply shaken. He gazed at the beautiful woman before him, whose every gesture was graceful and whose temperament was stunning. She was already in her early thirties, while he himself was also getting on in years, over twenty-five, and it was indeed time for him to settle down and start a family.

To be honest, he had no experience with childbirth. In his previous life, he was a naive college graduate, revealing a clear-eyed foolishness. It wasn't until he transmigrated and started to be tempered step by step from the age of fifteen that he transformed from a carefree person into a reliable and steady one.

For a moment, Lu Jun was at a loss. Looking down at Lu Mei's expectant eyes, he inexplicably thought that perhaps she felt life was too short and wanted to have a child before she grew old, to entrust something to that child.

Furthermore, Lu Jun believed that no man could refuse such an invitation to a one-on-one duel, and nodded gently, saying, "Okay, no problem."

Furthermore, he harbored compassion, and regarding immortality, he already had many clues. At least for now, every few decades, he would grant Lu Mei a drop of Undying Blood to Nirvana Rebirth, easily turning her back to youth and making her a pseudo-immortal.

Unexpectedly, after he told Lu Mei about this, she remained silent for a while but still insisted on having the child.

Lu Jun was slightly taken aback, then immediately began to grope her, grinning mischievously, "You'll need to put in a lot of effort if you want to have a baby, you know."

Lu Mei's face flushed even more. Ding Yumian had been standing at the door, had already stopped. After hearing their conversation, her pretty face turned slightly red as she tried to leave, saying softly, "I won't disturb you any longer."

"No, no, no, you've come at just the right time."

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Jun made exorbitant demands, embracing two women and fulfilling his dream of having two wives.

Suddenly, a hazy, dark silver curtain fell over the office, cutting through the void and creating an independent space, completely protecting it and isolating it from everything.

During this time, the female secretary came in. Before she even knocked, she heard Lu Jun's voice transmission and immediately guessed what was going on. She stroked her long, black-stockinged legs and quickly moved away.

A day and a night passed.

Lu Jun left the office feeling refreshed, followed by two women who staggered behind him.

Actually, he didn't think Lu Mei could get pregnant quickly. Her own essential structure was no longer that of an ordinary human. Even if there were Life Element, it would be quite difficult for her to have offspring. But it didn't matter, he would just let nature take its course.

He had another understanding of immortality: immortality does not require the ultimate annihilation of emotions, but rather maintaining a youthful mindset, constantly surpassing oneself, and experiencing the myriad aspects of life.

As for having children in the future, as parents, we will naturally do our best and, if we have the ability, we might as well help them achieve immortality.

However, Lu Jun suspected that with his and Lu Mei's talents, their offspring would be incredibly powerful, perhaps even finding their own way to immortality.

After a period of trials and tribulations, Lu Jun returned to his secluded retreat at the Bing Ce Fu in the Ancient Capital, preparing to resurrect the two Emperors.

Rumble!

On the desolate and lifeless land.

He placed out two majestic Emperor corpses, as imposing as mountains, causing the ground to tremble violently. One was a massive, heavy Sharkman Nation Lord covered in dazzling gemstones and gold, and the other was a graceful, Mother of Medusa and a snake tail.

The latter, in particular, though already fallen, had a face resembling that of a bewitching woman with her eyes tightly closed, yet her long, tangled golden hair moved like a giant desert serpent.

The two Emperor corpses contained the essence of the emperors, making them capable of resurrection.

Just like in the original timeline, the goddess Ye Xinxia was able to resurrect the ancient golden titan Apollo, and with this power, Khufu resurrected Medusa's mother and destroyed Cairo.

Lu Jun possesses both Resurrection Technique for life and death, so it was naturally easy for him.

Splash!

The next moment, a purple Jade Insect ornament rose slowly above his head, the Death Emblem radiated brilliant light, and the Pharaoh's Spring surged like a purple ocean in the void, wave after wave washing over the corpses of both of them.

"The Fusion Method, the Dusk Day and the Calamity Shine, the Genesis and its propagation!"

Immediately, Lu Jun unleashed a powerful Fusion Magic, his Reincarnation Double Pupils releasing boundless light in a black and white hue that surged forth and covered the two majestic Emperor corpses.

While they were at it, they also planted some restrictions on the two Emperors to make them easier to control.

Lu Jun had already entered the God Ascension State ahead of time, and was ultimately Emperor-level being. Reviving two Emperors at the same time was quite a challenge for him.

Finally, under the overwhelming purple and black light, a strange vitality surged within the Mother of Medusa and the Sharkman Nation Lord, quickly spreading and covering the entire body of the Emperor's corpse.

Encourage... Encourage... Encourage!

Suddenly, the skin of the enormous Emperor's body trembled slightly, and the previously scattered vast energy re-condensed, gradually twisting into Supreme Power. The trembling became more and more frequent, and his heart was also pounding violently.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Finally, the Mother of Medusa opened her eyes, her golden hair and eyes shining brightly. She suddenly sat up and stood tall in the vast forbidden area, descending to the mortal world in a breathtaking manner, like a scene from a myth, looking down on everything with the posture of a high and mighty Demon God.

Roar!

On the other side, the Sharkman Nation Lord's Killing Aura soared to the sky. His memories, frozen at the moment before his death, were revived. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared to the sky, almost shattering the Milky Way. He rampaged wildly, creating a massive shockwave and sending huge rocks flying.

After a moment, they all fell silent again, for a surge of information flooded their minds, explaining everything: the cause of death, the result of resurrection, and they were constantly processing the information.

Mother of Medusa's eyes flickered as she looked around, finally spotting Lu Jun on a hill. She coldly scrutinized the human who had resurrected her.

At the same time, the Sharkman Nation Lord also looked over, filled with intense anger and resentment, but unfortunately, due to the control of the corpse's soul, he was unable to launch an attack.

Chapter 622 The Secret of the Soul

No one is allowed inside the restricted area.

"Hehehe."

Lu Jun chuckled, seeing through the thoughts of the two Emperors at a glance. The Mother of Medusa appeared compliant but harbored wicked intentions, while the Sharkman Nation Lord was the most resentful but had no choice but to endure it.

"Today's first lesson will teach you to recognize the situation. I am not just a human mage, but God King who holds the power of life and death, your master."

He sneered, his Reincarnation Double Pupils gleaming as he activated the remaining restrictions.

Roar! Hiss! Hiss!

The two colossal creatures roared in agony, writhing and thrashing on the ground. Waves of immense energy surged forth, affecting hundreds of miles, causing the sky to collapse, the earth to crack, mountains to crumble, and magma to surge forth.

Lu Jun concealed all the commotion here with Time-Space Magic to prevent prematurely revealing his trump card, so the Ancient Capital not far away could not sense it at all.

At this moment, Lu Jun looked indifferently at the two tormented Emperor, thinking they were incredibly tactless.

Even Apollo, resurrected by Ye Xin Xia in the future, understands the horror of having one's life and death in one's hands and listens attentively to his orders. Yet these two Emperor fail to see the situation clearly.

He not only tormented them physically and mentally, but also used the power of his mind to manipulate dreams, punishing them through endless cycles of reincarnation.

Mother of Medusa couldn't help but reveal a resentful look in her eyes. She discovered that this person's spiritual attainments were extremely high, no less than her own. Not only had he trapped her in a dream, but he had also easily seen through her wicked thoughts.

Unfortunately, due to the restrictions she had already set up, she had no way to resist, and this form of magic was extremely strange, containing complex attributes.

Lu Jun smiled. Times have changed.

Medusa, as the first generation of Mind Curse mage, may be extremely powerful, with her evil eyes capable of exerting power surpassing that of Emperor, but even she would suffer a setback when faced with the Fusion Method.

Ultimately, through his constant brainwashing and memory manipulation, the two Emperors could no longer harbor any thoughts of betrayal. They were Fortified imprinted with the steel of their minds and treated their new master with utmost respect.

Lu Jun began to study the eyes of Mother of Medusa, exploring the original mysteries of the soul.

"So that's how it is, immortal soul, soul essence, Evil Saint King..."

He suddenly realized that the original work clearly stated that the Medusa clan was also a candidate for the Evil Saint King.

The Red Demon's unpredictable Psionic Energy, the original Mind Curse mage of Mother of Medusa —their souls have been sublimated, condensing immortal divinity; this represents the path of the Evil Saint King.

The most fundamental reason lies in faith!

That's right, it's faith, whether it's evil faith or righteous faith. To some extent, Leng Jue, the Evil God, is indeed on the right path, and he himself has become one of the Eight Soul Characters that helped Mo Fan achieve sainthood: the Evil Soul and the Vengeful Soul.

Lu Jun also recalled the words Ling Ling and Mo Fan spoke when they went to carry out the mission issued by the Red Demon before the expedition to Egypt.

To become the Evil Saint King, the Red Demon must cultivate holiness and become a saint through faith. Therefore, he needs Eight Soul Characters to serve him. Each of these Eight Soul Characters is like a disciple, declaring their faith for Him.

The deeds and experiences of the spirits in their lifetime determine their place in the afterlife.

However, the Red Demon has many, many alternatives, and it is unknown which evil temple each soul fragment will reside in.

For example, the Cold Hunter King's soul might not become a true soul. If Lu Kun doesn't get rid of the Little Red Demon, he will be stuck in the middle and won't be able to advance. Once other souls advance to their corresponding temple positions, he will lose his qualification and be abandoned.

In the future, when Mo Fan consumes the ultimate tonic pill, the Red Demon, and becomes the Evil Saint King, the Eight Soul Characters he will possess will not be fixed, but simply the eight soul types most suitable for him.

If the Red Demon were to become the Evil Saint King, then his eight soul positions would be different from Mo Fan's; at the very least, Mo Fan and Leng Jue would occupy the positions of the righteous souls.

It acts like a driving force, traveling all over the world, silently selecting souls and accumulating power along the way.

"So, the secret to the immortality of the soul was already in my hands long ago."

Looking back at himself, Lu Jun realized that the Imagination Mark of his Mind Element, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, would be collected and generate imaginary power. As his actions and the prestige he built up, the faith of the whole world would grow ever stronger.

From then on, Yin and Yang gave rise to the Great Dao Four Elements of metal, water, life, and death made the physical body Immortal and Undying and eternally existent. Curse, Mind ensured the immortality of the soul, and the Great Dao of reincarnation of the three elements was summoned by the chaos of time and space, so that it would not be burdened by external things, but would seek emptiness through reduction and self-circulation.

After he realized this, the Mind Element Star Bridge began to stir, seemingly ready to leap to the other side, illuminate billions of stars, and advance to a forbidden spell!

There was no way around it; the numerous major events Lu Jun had accomplished over the years had already amassed his prestige and fame to the max, and his power of faith was inexhaustible.

However, he decided to be patient for the time being. Putting aside the gestation of the Reincarnation Double Pupils, most of the faith stored within the Imagination Mark was positive faith.

Lu Jun devised a plan. The identity of the Ancient King had not yet been exposed. He would wait until the moment of the decisive battle with the Pacific Empire to reveal it, combining the two identities, overlapping the deeds and experiences of the two, doubling the faith, and cultivating both good and evil.

At this moment, faith is at its most fervent, and driven by immense power, not only can Mind Forbidden Curse be achieved, but even the immortality of the soul can be attained.

At that time, combined with his Curse Element reaching its peak, and even the Life and Death, a total of Four Elements will step into forbidden spells, ascending to the heavens in one step.

This leap is comparable to Mo Fan's ascension to the position of Evil Saint King in the Original Timeline.

This isn't over yet. Lu Jun will need some more time to digest it all, and then he can find the White Tiger Totem and the Origin of Time and Space. The complete set of forbidden spells will be within reach, and even unifying them will make the Rooftop Emperor possible.

Lu Jun felt a surge of excitement. He looked at the two imposing Emperor, and with a thought, he retrieved the Death Emblem that was floating above him.

Moments later, under the horrified gazes of Mother of Medusa and the Sharkman Nation Lord, his body crashed to the ground, and he died once more.

There's no other way; Lu Jun's cultivation is limited, and he relies mostly on the Pharaoh's Spring as his energy source, so he naturally has to conserve it. Once the Life and Death Magic System break through the forbidden spells, it will probably exist for a long time.

He put the two Emperor corpses back into his bag and returned to the Bing Ce Fu.

As soon as Lu Jun returned, he learned some surprising news from Lu Mei.

Professor Yuan racked his brains and finally completed the construction of a super Water Cycle Great Formation that encompassed the entire Northwest. The core of this array was located in the Bing Ce Fu, with the Heart of the Earth as its core, constantly absorbing the scorching water and fire elements to harmonize the climate.

Currently, the recovery of that "Heart of the Earth" is progressing well.

Lu Jun immediately sought out Professor Yuan to learn about the situation.

"Restore the soil and water of Northwest China? Make the Yellow River clear?"

Professor Yuan's lips twitched, and he retorted, "You really dare to think that way. The law of conservation of energy—if it weren't for your Water Element Calamity Talent, which allows you to Call Wind Summon Rain and rain and bring in large amounts of water every day, there would be no need to even establish Water Cycle Great Formation."

"With your meager amount of water, you can only improve the climate to a limited extent at best."

"Furthermore, restoring soil and water requires not only water, but also soil!"
