Deep within the Reincarnation Passage, a blinding white light shone.
Lu Qingshan and Chi You both lost their sense of direction in the white light, but they were not separated and were still being swept forward together.
Here, time and space are completely distorted.
After a long time, when they opened their eyes again, the world before them was completely different...
They stood on a gray earth, the ground beneath their feet as solid as metal, the sky above seemingly boundless, and in the distance, the outlines of several not-so-high mountain peaks.
The Time-Space here is incredibly stable; even breathing feels completely different.
There's still time.
Time moves very slowly here.
What was 10081 seconds in the Primal Universe is but a mere one second here.
Here, even a single day feels incredibly long.
"Is this the Origin Continent?"
Lu Qingshan let out a breath. Although he had some knowledge of the Source World, he still felt a very strange feeling upon arriving here for the first time.
In the Universe Ocean, he was invincible, but here, even the slightest change in environment could put him under considerable pressure.
Lu Qingshan knew that the Eternal True God was nothing in the Origin Continent, and he still had enemies, so he had to keep a low profile here.
The key is to develop discreetly.
He possesses a cheat-like advantage, so he doesn't need to fight to the death like other powerful individuals for opportunities. He can lie low and develop slowly, at least until he has a certain level of self-protection before doing anything high-profile.
Previously, in the Universe Ocean, the Great Sage Jue Ying had sent the World Beast King Chi You to plot against him. If the other party knew that he had come to the Origin Continent, he would definitely try to kill him at all costs.
"Master, do you know where we are?"
The World Beast King Chi You transformed into a burly man, somewhat similar to the native beings of the Origin Continent, standing beside Lu Qingshan like a loyal guard.
The World Beast King possesses Perfect Divine Body, Formless and Shapeless. Chi You's transformations are almost indistinguishable from the real thing, making it impossible for ordinary people to tell the difference.
"I don't know... To find out where we are, we'll need to ask around. If we know the name of Chaos Prefecture or any other country, we should know that we're somewhere on the Origin Continent."
The changes in the Origin Continent are minimal. Some powerful beings exist eternally. The name of the Chaos Prefecture also changes little, and the kingdoms rarely change. He knows some information about the Wu Kingdom and the Jin World, so he has a relatively good understanding of the Origin Continent.
"Master, let's search for life nearby first. Once we find native life, we can determine our current location." Chi You nodded.
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then reminded him, " Chi You, you should know the treatment of World Beast on the Origin Continent. The former World Beast King returned here after his reincarnation, causing one disaster after another. When he encountered World Beast here, he was basically killed on the spot..."
"I know. From now on, I will try my best not to use the methods of the World Beast in battle. I will only use the secret techniques I created and the Destruction Origin. There shouldn't be any problems."
Chi You said.
"With your disguise skills, you shouldn't be in much trouble if you don't use the abilities of the World Beast. However, you shouldn't use the name Chi You for now, as the Great Sage Jue Ying knows your name."
"Master, what name should I use?"
Chi You inquired.
Lu Qingshan sized up the World Beast King for a moment, looking at his current appearance, and said, "From now on, you will be called Xing Tian."
" Xing Tian?"
Chi You silently recited the name, feeling that it was also very imposing, comparable to his own Chi You.
He nodded, accepting the code name, and then asked, "Since I've changed my name, my master also needs to change his name. What will my master be called?" "I'll be called Han... Fang Yuan, I guess."
Lu Qingshan originally wanted to call him Han Li, but then he realized that he had used that name before and the Purple Moon Ancestor might know it, so he gave up on the idea.
Although the Purple Moon Ancestor had been killed by him using the World Beast Blood Book, Lu Qingshan wasn't entirely sure whether he had sent out any information about himself before that.
However, under normal circumstances, a nobody like the Purple Moon Ancestor would have no power to refuse. The entity behind the Purple Moon Ancestor probably already knew all his information.
Then the name Han Li definitely can't be used...
After choosing new names, the two set off in one direction, heading into the distance.
This area was just wilderness and didn't seem dangerous. They didn't know where the settlement was, so they could only head in one direction.
After crossing several mountains, an endless plain stretches out before us.
It was here that they discovered the existence of life.
Directly in front of them, a fierce battle was raging, with the eight figures besieging a strange beast.
Those figures were dressed in very ordinary clothes, and each of them was at the True God Level. However, in Lu Qingshan's view, their foundations were very unstable, like randomly assembled building blocks. They looked very tall, but they were actually very fragile and would collapse with a slight push.
These True God True God all from the Origin Continent, having risen to their True God through Bloodline School. Their strength is not particularly high, completely incomparable to the True God of the Law Flow School in the Universe Ocean. Even among the True God of the Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Race, at the same level, one could easily defeat several of them.
Their opponent was a strange beast resembling a lion. This beast was extremely tall and mighty, with dark golden mane all over its body. It was enormous and incredibly fast.
Facing the siege of eight True God, this lion-like beast handled the situation with ease, appearing as if it were toying with its opponents.
As expected, just as Lu Qingshan and Chi You were rushing towards this place, the lion beast suddenly let out a deafening roar. With this roar, the several True God in front almost fainted. Their consciousness was impacted by the sound waves, and their divine bodies became stiff.
And right now.
With a single swipe of its claw, the beast annihilated these defenseless True God.
Of the eight True God, six were instantly annihilated, and only the last two managed to escape with their lives.
However, they were clearly unable to escape the beast's continued attacks.
"Damn it... when did this beast develop such ferocious abilities? Why hasn't it used them before?"
The only surviving male True God had a solemn expression on his face.
But the female True God was now acting as if she had gone mad.
"My younger brother..." (This is a title and not part of the original text.)
"I'm going to kill you! Die!!"
She roared!
Countless tiny silver needles, like a torrential rain, attacked the lion-like beast.
However, the lion beast was completely unharmed; its fur alone was enough to completely block the attacks.
But this angered the lion beast.
It roared again.
The terrifying sound waves pierced directly into the woman's soul, causing her to freeze in place.
Then, the lion-like beast opened its terrifying mouth, intending to swallow the True God whole.
However, at this very moment...
Chi You has arrived!
He simply raised his hand and swung his axe. A flash of black light.
Before the lion beast could react, there was a soft "thud" as its head was cleaved open by the axe, the cut perfectly smooth.
Even his mouth was still open.
It never expected that just as it was about to enjoy its meal, it would be ambushed and have its head chopped off with an axe.
Of course, the thought only lasted for a moment before its consciousness was completely destroyed... Although this attack was only aimed at his head, the aftershocks were enough to destroy his True God Heart.
Lu Qingshan then appeared.
He looked at the two remaining people.
However, the two rescued individuals did not show any joy; one looked terrified, while the other appeared angry.
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask about their current location, the woman suddenly recovered. She looked at Lu Qingshan and Chi You and questioned them sharply.
"Why didn't you act sooner? If you had acted sooner, my brother wouldn't have died."
"Miss, shut up!"
The male True God panicked instantly and hurriedly spoke. However, the woman remained unmoved.
Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears. She didn't look like she was treating her savior, but rather like she was treating an enemy. Her expression was as fierce as a venomous snake.
"Why didn't you do it sooner? My brother was killed because of you! Waaah!!!"
The woman wept bitterly in front of a corpse.
"My lord, I am the hunting captain of the Black Stone Tribe. Our chieftain is a powerful Void True God. Our young lady has just lost a loved one, so she acted impulsively. Please forgive her."
The male True God immediately spoke.
"Impulse?"
Looking into the woman's eyes, which were as sharp as a snake's, Lu Qingshan knew that this was not an impulsive slip of the tongue, but that she truly regarded him as an enemy.
Putting aside the fact that he didn't really intend to refuse to help, after all, he had just arrived on the Origin Continent and was not used to anything. They were very far apart, and he couldn't possibly go all out for a stranger.
Even if that's true, he at least saved both of their lives, so there's no need for him to be treated as an enemy.
"Impulsiveness is not an excuse. If you act impulsively, you must pay the price for it."
Lu Qingshan spoke calmly, then turned and left without saying another word. He had only taken a few steps.
Then came the woman's screams from behind.
Chi You slapped the woman to death, then imprisoned the hunting captain who was trying to escape, and tossed him in front of Lu Qingshan like a chicken.
The hunting captain trembled with fear, his face filled with terror. However, at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to self-destruct, and he couldn't mobilize a single wisp of divine power.
He looked at Lu Qingshan, his voice trembling.
"My lord, you are powerful enough that killing us would be meaningless to you. Why do this?"
Lu Qingshan glanced at him and said calmly, "You said it yourself, killing you all means nothing to me, so what's the point of not killing you? To me, you're all just ants. Why think so much when killing ants?"
The hunting captain opened his mouth but didn't speak.
He understood the proper attitude towards the strong in the wilderness, but unfortunately, the young lady who had grown up in the tribe and enjoyed a life of luxury did not understand.
If it weren't for these two, even they would have been devoured by that strange beast. How can we blame their deaths on them?
But now, it's too late for regrets.
The young lady was killed, and he was merely waiting for his own death. Lu Qingshan said nothing more, a faint green light flashing in his eyes. His consciousness directly invaded the other's soul, reading everything he knew.
Now that things have come to this, even if the other party answers willingly, he won't believe their answer; it's simpler to just take action.
A moment later, the green light in Lu Qingshan's eyes disappeared.
Chi You glanced at his master, then crushed the man's True God Heart with a wave of his hand, tossed the corpse aside, and asked, "Master, should we wipe out this Black Stone Tribe and eliminate them completely?"
"I'm not a serial killer, why would I wipe out another tribe? We already know the information we want to know."
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
Chi You is very bloodthirsty; it seems he will need to be restrained in the future.
The reason why the World Beast King would cause disasters is because World Beast destructive instincts cannot be suppressed. Unable to control their instincts, they either succeed in destroying everything or are slaughtered. On the Origin Continent, there are basically no successful World Beast. With the existence of the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms, World Beast simply cannot succeed.
Of course, World Beast with masters are relatively better off, at least they can be forcibly suppressed.
This is also why the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms were able to tolerate the Purple Wood God King.
Speaking of the Purple Wood God King, Lu Qingshan smiled slightly; he and this God King really did have some kind of connection.
He looked at the undulating mountains ahead and said, "We are currently on the edge of the Litian Chaos Prefecture Tianmu Kingdom. The nearest city to us is called Lanhuang City..." " Tianmu Kingdom?"
Chi You was taken aback, clearly aware that there was a peak- World Beast King in the Tianmu Kingdom.
"That's right... This is the Tianmu Kingdom. We should stay here to develop in the short term. The Tianmu Kingdom knows more about World Beast. Although the chance of encountering a peak World Beast is not high, we still need to be careful. And never reveal your identity in the future."
"Yes, Master."
Chi You nodded solemnly.
Peak- World Beast... those are incredibly powerful beings, completely beyond his ability to contend with.
"Master, shall we head to Lanhuang City now?"
"Um."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"We don't know much about this True God, only the route to Lanhuang City. Let's go to Lanhuang City first and then explore more information... Lanhuang City is located in a remote area, far from Litian Chaos Prefecture, the main Litian City State, making it a suitable place for us to stay."
"Alright, let's head to Lanhuang City now."
Chi You collected the lion beast and the corpses of the True God, and then inventoried the spoils of war. Whether it was the True God and beasts or the tribal warriors, they were all extremely poor; all of them combined amounted to only a few pieces of Chaos Crystal Chaos Crystal, which Chi You carefully stored away.
They'll need these things later.
Immediately afterwards, they headed towards Lanhuang City, the only city in the vicinity.
