Having It Wasn't Necessarily a Good Thing

Brush.

Lu Changzhi immediately put down his thoughts.

In a flash, he arrived at a certain place in the void.

He raised his hand, and the relic of the Void Dao Manor appeared in his palm. With a gentle lift, he placed it somewhere.

The next moment, several hand seals were cast from Lu Changzhi's hands.

All of these were obtained from Chen Yibi.

For him, it wasn't particularly difficult; he had already mastered it.

Swish, swish, swish.

The hand seals flew out and landed on the relics of the Void Dao Manor.

A light emanated from the relics of the Void Dao Manor, accompanied by the spreading of spatial power.

This process lasted for about ten breaths.

As more and more hand seals were applied, the spatial energy spreading around them became increasingly concentrated.

The relics from the Void Dao Manor shone brightly.

Finally, after Lu Changzhi cast the last spell.

Brush.

The relics of the Void Dao Manor trembled violently, and the next moment, they exploded with a deafening roar.

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.

He suddenly understood why Chen Yibi had been so incredulous back then.

This relic is clearly a one-time use item!

Brush.

One step.

Lu Changzhi stepped back.

At the same time, the exploding debris and the dissipating spatial energy merged together, and a strange tremor suddenly appeared.

Then, the void in front of them began to ripple like water.

With a thought, Lu Changzhi summoned his External Avatar.

Then, his External Avatar stepped into it.

Brush.

Almost as soon as his figure disappeared...

The water-like void instantly returned to normal, and the dust of the relics fell downwards.

"It seems that even combined with those gates, it won't be able to fool many people."

With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi gathered his thoughts and immersed himself in the space where his External Avatar was.

On the other side.

The location of External Avatar.

Brush.

Beyond the rippled void, the scene before one's eyes begins to change.

This place is not high in the sky, but is located in a huge palace.

To be precise, it was the ruins of a palace.

All around, besides the broken walls and ruins, there were more clean marks from being chopped, the cuts neat and the pieces scattered randomly.

"So it really is a ruin."

Lu Changzhi said softly.

At that moment, his mind stirred, and his attention fell on what was in front of him.

There, a figure slowly materialized.

The figure appeared to be middle-aged, with a square face and an imposing presence.

His eyes were fixed on where Lu Changzhi was, and he slowly walked forward.

"Neither a soul nor an afterimage?"

Lu Changzhi sensed it and raised an eyebrow slightly.

This state was somewhat peculiar, or rather, his aura seemed to have merged into the world.

"Our descendants, after so many years, have finally waited for you."

The figure stopped a short distance in front of Lu Changzhi, a look of emotion on his face.

Lu Changzhi ignored the other party and instead took out the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit.

Chen Yibi's physical body serves as a cautionary tale; this suddenly appearing person may not necessarily be good.

The moment the Dao-Severing Sword Spirit appeared, the figure landed directly on it.

After a long while, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face:

"Finally, perhaps I can be free."

His words were filled with emotion.

"What do you mean?" Lu Changzhi asked.

Through the system, he already knew the other party's name: Xu Xuanwei.

Xu Xuanwei did not answer, but instead asked a question:

"Descendants, can you wield this sword?"

"Nature."

Lu Changzhi nodded.

"The aura of your sword is very special; I sense it. With this sword, you can cut it down."

"It?" Lu Changzhi looked at Xu Xuanwei.

Xu Xuanwei nodded, then pointed to a spot:

"Outside here, there lies a Space Origin that has already given birth to sentience."

"The Space Origin?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow:

"It even developed sentience? How could you possibly have something like that?"

The Space Origin, although it is also an origin, is an extremely rare one.

Spatial power is not something that can be found everywhere. Furthermore, the formation of Space Origin generally requires the influence of some external factors before they can be born.

Of course, despite their scarcity, their uses are similar: if one can refine them, one can greatly enhance their control over spatial power.

Furthermore, this mastery remains overwhelming when the opponent's strength or level of expertise is similar or slightly lower.

As for the emergence of intelligence, that's a matter of opinion.

If it's good, it's definitely good; but if it's bad, it's equally bad.

Judging from the current state of the Void Dao Manor, Lu Changzhi estimated that it was most likely the latter.

Sure enough, Xu Xuanwei sighed helplessly:

Sometimes, obtaining something can actually be a disaster.

"The disappearance of the Void Dao Manor was because of the spatial power that gave birth to sentience, wasn't it?" Lu Changzhi said.

Xu Xuanwei nodded:

"Yes."

"The Space Origin, has the Void Dao Manor found a way to give it sentience?" Lu Changzhi pressed.

Xu Xuanwei shook his head:

"If that were the case, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the seemingly endless ruins ahead, and he let out a long sigh:

"Back then, my Void Dao Manor obtained a special box."

"There is a trace of the power of the Space Origin on the box, but it has already been integrated with the array."

"The Void Dao Manor has devoted a great deal of thought and effort to studying this box, hoping to figure out the purpose of the array and what exactly is inside."

Hearing this, Lu Changzhi basically knew what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, Xu Xuanwei continued:

"After a long period of fruitless effort, a genius emerged from the Void Dao Manor whose understanding of the Dao of Space surpassed that of his predecessors."

"Later, he came into contact with this box, devoted himself to it for countless years, and finally, after a breakthrough, grasped the key point."

"This box, which had remained unopened for thousands of years, was opened in his hands."

The answer to the question in the box has finally been revealed.

Xu Xuanwei gazed into the distance, his mind seemingly returning to those days.

"The day the box was opened was also the day the catastrophe Descent Kongdao Void Dao Manor."

"Inside the box is also the Space Origin, and it has already developed sentience."

"I initially thought this was a great thing, but I immediately discovered that the intelligence condensed from the Space Origin harbored immense hatred for humanity."

"The Void Dao Manor became his outlet for venting his hatred. As a spiritual being of Space Origin, his mastery of spatial power far surpassed that of the strongest beings in the Void Dao Manor at that time."

"What's even more terrifying is that the intelligence of this Space Origin also possesses an extremely strong learning ability. It is killing humans while simultaneously learning from them. If this trend continues, whether it stays in the Void Dao Manor or not, it will eventually become a catastrophe."

"In the end, the Void Dao Manor sacrificed itself to seal the Space Origin here."

After Xu Xuanwei finished speaking, he looked away and his gaze returned to Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, the genius in this matter should be you, senior?"
