Chapter 387 Viewing Lu Yu's Memories? The Spirit of the True King! Forbidden Shadow River!
Selling places to enter the ruins?
And it doesn't restrict race?
If someone else said that, they would definitely think that the other person was crazy. Aren't they afraid of being usurped by someone else?
But if it's Lu Yu...
Everyone felt there was definitely a conspiracy involved!
Even the Faceless Brotherhood, who are most adept at toying with the masses, including the three Gods of the Fingers who are at the top of the fun list and ranked high on the blacklist, were easily toyed with by him. He carefully and meticulously cut the Silver Sun Orb in half and forced it to enter the ruins.
This shows just how terrifying this guy's strategic planning ability is.
Many alien races and demon leaders couldn't help but ask themselves, if they really got on this bus, could they avoid being tricked to death by Lu Yu?
The answer is... not necessarily!
Moreover, in the previous Ten Thousand Races Arena, the Prison Demon Tiger tried to buy its life but was ruthlessly crushed, showing no emotion whatsoever. Perhaps it wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate some powerful alien races and weaken the strength of the Ten Thousand Races.
This kid, like his dragon, is full of cunning!
Therefore, after Lu Yu finished speaking, no one responded, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward and silent.
"Lu Yu's car...could it be an unlicensed taxi?"
"Who knows? His sun chariot has even gone out, turning into a dark sun. It doesn't seem very stable!"
"Yes, it's a bit dangerous for a novice driver. It's better to find an experienced driver to guide you!"
"..."
Even the human leaders exchanged bewildered glances, secretly communicating through telepathy, even though he was the pride of humanity…
But very few people dared to get in his car, fearing they would be used as expendable resources or as a shield.
After all, Lu Yu's bottom line remains a mystery!
"Has the reputation of the great philanthropist Lu really fallen to this level?" Lu Yu sighed inwardly upon seeing this.
My glorious and majestic image has indeed been maliciously slandered by some unknown villains. Don't let them know who it is... otherwise, they'll wipe out my entire family in no time, and even the eggs will be shaken to pieces!
However, in order to shake off the scourge of poverty, Lu Yu, adhering to the customer-first spirit of the service industry, continued:
"Actually, everyone misunderstands me a bit. I'm a very trustworthy person. Didn't I release those few alien prodigies I captured without hesitation?"
"..." The faces of the alien and demon factions darkened. Why bring up something you shouldn't have said? Isn't this a slap in the face?
As for Yuan Ji, well, her eyes were practically drooling; she'd probably already mentally shaped herself into Lu Yu.
Even if you sold her now, he would still count the money for her, and might even pay her to be his maid. The credibility of this is zero.
Finally, Lu Yu broke the silence, coughed lightly, and said calmly, "I hope everyone will consider that I have a carriage formed from the Ninefold Sun Crown and half a Silver Sun Pearl, giving me a huge advantage. Even if you don't want to see the ruins, you can still go in and broaden your horizons."
Nobody knows what the environment inside the ruins is like. Cars and horses have no eyes, what if they knock someone over?
Moreover, since the Faceless Brotherhood was able to infiltrate three Fingers of God, there might be even more Fingers of God hiding there. Tsk tsk, if I stayed with them, who knows how I might get betrayed.
I only want to make money off you old folks, I have no other ill intentions, but what they want... is their lives!
They all started threatening to ram other people's cars.
You still say you're not part of organized crime?
Everyone was inwardly complaining, but the atmosphere visibly became much more tense.
The Myriad Races Arena Tournament: A radical overhaul of the Myriad Races Werewolf game!
Even between fathers and sons, and brothers, there is suspicion in their eyes. After all, these people who enjoy themselves can even impersonate their wives. There have even been tragic cases where, during exercise, someone suddenly rips off their mask and scares people.
The victim didn't die, but the consequences were far more serious...
Although Lu Yu was a scoundrel, at least he wouldn't let the Faceless Brotherhood infiltrate his territory, which did tempt many human powerhouses.
Even among non-human factions, some race leaders were tempted.
They had no grudge against Lu Yu. Although he acted like a villain, he had never gone back on his word so far.
Go in with them, you might get some benefits too!
Lu Yu added fuel to the fire, saying, "Think about it, I am a peerless genius who suppresses all races. The Nine Heavens Sun Crown might even have hidden benefits. You were all green with envy before, but now you don't need two hundred million, you don't need one hundred million, you can get on board for just fifty million. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance."
"We can't let this kid get cocky!"
The Locust Clan Chief, unwilling to see Lu Yu rake in so much money, sneered, "How can we be sure you're not some divine finger in disguise? After all, you're just a human. Even with the ancient king's laws and bloodline, your advancement speed is abnormally fast. That battle just now might have been a ruse to lure us in."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Lu Yu with more wariness.
"We've been discovered!" Lu Yu grinned and admitted it without hesitation, causing all the human geniuses except for Chi Yuemeng, Yu Xiyan, and others to quickly spread out, creating an open space.
Qi Wei calmly took the photos, trusting his intuition more; this was definitely Lu Yu.
Because of that imposing aura... no one can imitate it!
Lu Yu looked meaningfully at the Heart-Stealing Locust Chieftain, a sinister smile appearing on his face, and said, "Two Fingers, stop playing around and just close the net!"
"Your slanderous methods are too low-level!" The chieftain of the Heart-Stealing Locusts frowned, but those around him, just to be on the safe side, decisively distanced themselves.
"I remember you're the Second Finger. You're like me, unable to prove you're not a member of the Faceless Brotherhood. How about..." Lu Yu spread his hands, "Let's have everyone tie us both up and examine our memories together? That should prove our innocence, right?"
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of many giants and ecosystem leaders flickered slightly, their expressions showing surprise. Even the Star Phoenix Ancestor, who was sitting in the void seat, became interested.
Viewing Lu Yu's memories...
That sounds good!
"madman!"
Even the Mind-Stealing Locust Clan Chief, who possessed mind-controlling abilities, was broken down. He had never seen such a madman before.
Viewing memories is an act that violates privacy even more than seeing one's physical body, and may even reveal one's spiritual path and all one's secrets.
Even the true Finger of God wouldn't want to do such a thing!
This guy is definitely not right in the head!
Sensing the greedy intent hidden in the many gazes, as if they would swarm forward if someone took the lead, the Heart-Stealing Locust suddenly flicked its sleeve and said coldly:
"If you dare to insult an ecosystem owner like this, I will self-destruct on the spot, and even if I die... I will not let you get away with it."
He didn't want to go crazy with Lu Yu!
"pity!"
Upon hearing this, many powerful figures showed regret, lamenting that they couldn't join in the fun.
They didn't really suspect that Lu Yu and the Heart-Stealing Locust Clan Chief were the Finger of God.
Because in each "theater", the Finger of God is the protagonist and enjoys the most attention. However, if the number of protagonists increases, they will take away their own role and reduce the blessings of the Faceless God.
That's why they rarely get together!
In the past century, the most times the four Fingers of God have gathered together was only once, and that was related to a suspected taboo event.
The main reason is that they crave Lu Yu's memories and want to see what treasures the Dream Eater Cult left behind.
Is it really as powerful as the rumors online suggest?
Lu Yu scoffed, "You little punk, in this world you need strength, connections, and guts!"
The chieftain of the Heart-Stealing Locusts stared at him coldly, without saying a word.
The Star Phoenix Ancestor was about to speak when Cui Han preemptively said, "I've already tested him with the secret treasure the Alliance gave me, and Lu Yu is fine!"
With Cui Han, a powerful figure who holds important positions in both the alliance and Imperial University, guaranteeing the outcome of this matter, the matter is now settled.
Lu Yu stared in surprise at the young woman teacher's retreating figure. He hadn't sensed any trace of the secret treasure, which meant...
The other party is protecting themselves!
Lu Yu felt a little regretful. After all, unlike ordinary people who guard their memories, he couldn't wait to let all his enemies see the images in his mind.
For example, the Forbidden Sun, the Hidden Corpse Emperor, the Mother of Twilight, the Fertility Moon, etc... can bury a bunch of old guys ahead of time.
However, it's better not to reveal one's identity, since the true king is still watching, and one must remain low-key and develop for a while.
Lu Yu then began selling slots, with a starting bid of 50 million and each bid increment not allowed to be less than 1 million. Alien and demon factions could exchange them for extraordinary materials of equal value.
"Eek!"
The little spider next to it took out a GG card woven from spider silk, which said three kinds of juice: orange juice, cantaloupe juice, and pear juice. There was also a cute little spider pattern in the corner.
This means the first five buyers can choose one of three juices!
It's serious about supplementing household income.
To ensure that the owner will never have to worry about money again, so that he can lie in her arms without thinking about anything, just eating and drinking.
o(〃'▽'〃)o
Such an adorable appearance brings a smile to many people's faces.
What an adorable spider pet!
Seeing this, the paper knight remembered the chivalrous virtue of sharing and offered, "I can also offer a complimentary reading of the Bible of salvation, so that everyone can experience knowledge..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was dragged back by Egg, the Black Dragon Ant, and Red Hare, and a three-way interrogation began.
Ask if this guy was sent by the God of Poverty?
But the words had already been spoken, instantly dampening the enthusiasm of the crowd. The knowledge was too much for them to handle.
The scene fell silent, just when Lu Yu thought that the spot would not be sold and he would only be with Luo Qingyue, a nobody.
"I'll offer 80 million Alliance Coins for the second spot," Cui Han said, nodding slightly to Lu Yu with gratitude in his eyes.
If he hadn't exposed the Faceless Brotherhood, a major disaster would have been averted, and this money would have been his reward.
Lu Yu nodded, securing the second spot.
The third spot was quickly secured.
"Fifty million." Yu Xiyan said, looking at Lu Yu's questioning gaze, she pretended to be pitiful and said, "The carriage is not safe. I just dug up dozens of adventurers' graves recently, so I have some spare money. It's safer to hitch a ride."
Dozens...
Are you a born gravedigger with a sacred body?
Lu Yu's lips twitched; his envy of the rich woman was indescribable. The Fate System was indeed arrogant.
"Pretending to be dead!"
Qi Wei secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that his cousin, who was usually so shrewd and calculating in front of him, always acted weak and timid in front of Lu Yu.
I don't know what kind of quirk it is, but as long as you don't treat yourself as part of the play, it's fine.
He acted decisively and secured the fourth spot.
Although I don't have enough money right now, I can write an IOU first. Once the video is released, I can definitely become a top-tier internet celebrity and earn back several times the amount.
He's... a man destined to become the King of Photography!
"My sister and I both want a spot!" Chi Yue Hong Lian looked at Yu Xi Yan, not wanting to be outdone.
They may not have much else, but they have a lot of money!
Akatsuki Yume nodded, repeating herself earnestly, "Lots of money!"
Tong Ye straightened her figure, which presented a vertical "I" curve, and said, "I want to get on the bus too!"
In the blink of an eye, seven spots were gone, and 3.8 million yuan was pocketed, making Lu Yu's smile even brighter.
Even among the myriad races, some began to hesitate about whether or not to purchase a spot.
Luo Zisong originally wanted to join in, but Cui Han stopped him. With the two carriages of Yu Xiyan and Tong Ye already missing, if there were any more, the human race's advantage would be greatly reduced.
In the end, Old Deng could only accept a burly giant, squeezed into a small carriage.
Looking at the hesitant crowd of the myriad races, especially the side of Du'e Tai Sui, Lu Yu enthusiastically asked, "Ex-husband, how about you and your bodyguard take the last two spots? I'll give you a 1% discount."
Du'e Tai Sui ignored them and said indifferently, "I won't waste my time with you. If we wait any longer, the Faceless Brotherhood will probably start seizing the inheritance in the ruins."
Having said that, his two-horse carriage started, the Sun Horse galloped, and carrying the Heart-Stealing Locust clone of the Calamity-Crossing Grand Duke and the enormous Calamity Azure Dragon, they laboriously entered the ruins. The other human and alien geniuses also reacted, no longer waiting, and entered the ruins one after another, preparing to seize the initiative.
Lu Yu watched this scene calmly, continuing to sell the spots, showing no hurry to go in.
The eighth spot was won by Chen Wei, a fire-type powerhouse in the alliance, for 50 million.
As for the last spot, it did cause a small-scale scramble, but the giants of the alien and demon factions still dared not get on board. Only some geniuses made offers, and these people also had their concerns, which led to the dark witch Zhou Yu, who was fighting against Tong Ye, snatching it up for 70 million.
"snort!"
Tong Ye crossed her arms, her gaze disdainful. She never looked directly at her defeated opponents, so…
Look at me sideways!
Lu Yu sized up the woman and said meaningfully, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Of course... I'm afraid!" Zhou Yu said confidently. After the Ten Thousand Races Arena, how could any genius who wasn't a member of the royal family be unafraid of Lu Yu?
"But I'm even more interested in finding extinct extraordinary herbs, and higher-level magical potion traditions!"
Since we're already here, we might as well latch onto a powerful figure and explore the ruins. After all, our clan are marginalized and don't want to infringe on the interests of any party.
If one could become a Grand Alchemist, even the True King would treat him with great respect!
Lu Yu nodded without asking any further questions. This time, the harvest of 500 million made him very happy. He then manipulated the Dark Sun Monitor to suck all the targets into it and enter a wide area.
The little spider, dressed in a flight attendant's uniform, served juice to everyone, while the paper knight held a Bible with a regretful look in his eyes.
then……
The numerous long legs that grew on it operated, forcefully pushing off the void, transforming into a stream of light that passed through the sacred sun gate!
Click click click!
After the last remaining spot was claimed, the Sacred Sun Gate closed again. However, the radiance on the Flame Wheel did not dissipate; instead, it coalesced into a screen of light, revealing a scene.
It attracted everyone's attention.
"They can still watch the game?" Many industry leaders were surprised, but they didn't feel joy; instead, they felt...
doubt.
Was this site really destroyed?
The mechanism is far too perfect, it's like...
A trial!
the other side,
Lu Yu, who was piloting the Dark Sun Watcher through the Sacred Sun Gate, was on the spacious platform inside the carriage. He had already entered a special subspace tunnel and was beginning his journey.
The moment they entered, a vast consciousness descended, boundless and scorching like the sun. Its mere will began to distort subspace for millions of miles, giving birth to a unique nascent solar ecosystem.
This power has transcended the ecological master and reached another level.
However, this will stopped at the periphery the moment it came into contact with the Dark Sun Watcher, quickly faded away, and all the abnormal phenomena were smoothed out.
Without the Sun Chariot, it would most likely be crushed by this will and turned to ashes.
"True King level... is it a spirit of a relic?"
A thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, then he took out half of the silver sun pearl and fell into deep thought.
The name Silver Sun is related to the legendary hero in the initial material for the little spider's creation, the "Heavenly Nun's Blindfold".
She was adopted by the church that worshipped the Silver Sun, and even in the end, it was only equivalent to a spiritual transformation in the Lord's world.
Despite not even being a Morning Star level being, he resisted the temptation of an indigenous god comparable to a giant, and was ultimately killed.
Lu Yu initially thought it was because the other party's mental will was too strong, but as his strength increased, his understanding of the ancient giants deepened.
At this level, even the spreading spirituality is enough to distort and transform a life at the spiritual transformation stage, which cannot be explained by mere will.
It now appears that the Silver Sun played a very important role in it!
However, there seem to be few records related to the Silver Sun in the main world; at least, there are none in the information Lu Yu found.
"Should I ask Lilith again?" Lu Yu pondered, preparing to explore the limits of the succubus in the large wooden cabinet.
However, at this moment, Yu Xiyan's voice rang out from behind:
"The Silver Sun appeared before the Age of Stars. At that time, the Age of Fire, when humanity received the blessing of the Mother River and the Beastmasters rose to prominence, had just ended, and the curtain of the Old Age had just been raised. Some ancient gods had not yet been buried in the Old Age, and their radiance shone on the main world."
This includes the Silver Sun, said to be one of the incarnations of the Supreme Sun, symbolizing an inextinguishable will and spirituality, wielding the power of thermal energy. Believers will also receive related blessings, possessing a stable will and the ability to burn away the fog of spirituality, guiding them onto a relatively correct path, thus leading to its rapid development.
Even their saints and saints are said to possess the ability to burn the eternal mist that shrouds the tributaries of the Mother River, though it's unclear whether this is true or not.
However, this church later declined as some of the old gods were buried in the dust of history and lost their divine protection. Originally, their order was based on the border region, but for some reason, they migrated to a large snow-capped mountain to live in seclusion. Judging by its location, it should be in the Dark Star Region. The Silver Sun Orb was their sacred object; since it was looted, it means they were completely wiped out.
Lu Yu and the others looked at Yu Xiyan in surprise. They knew that humanity was in the "Dawn Era," and the only thing they knew about was the middle and late stages of the Star Age, during which the Great Expedition that established the Alliance took place.
Further back in history, the past is either buried by the dust of time or involves taboos, where touching it is a death sentence. This is also why the mortality rate of archaeologists remains high.
However, Yu Xiyan actually knew about the events of the early days of the ancient era, which would have caused a sensation in the archaeological community, leading to numerous research topics and papers.
Luo Qingyue asked excitedly, "And then?"
"I'm not an archaeologist," Yu Xiyan said, spreading her hands. "It just so happens that among the relics we collected was an archaeologist who unearthed the remains of a Silver Sun believer and wrote about it in his diary. As for any other information, I don't know anything else."
"Where's the diary?" Luo Qingyue asked anxiously, like a badger that couldn't steal a melon in a melon patch.
"After reading it, I don't know where I threw it. Maybe I burned it as firewood to keep warm."
"Ugh, what a waste!" Luo Qingyue was speechless.
"But there seem to be other documents and notes as well..."
"Oh, please, let me see it!" Luo Qingyue's emotions fluctuated wildly.
Yu Xiyan smiled broadly, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of teasing the adorable puppy.
The reason she knows so much is that she happened to come into contact with the Silver Sun in one of her timelines and participated in the plan to save the Silver Order.
But in the end...
In that timeline, she was among the top five of all "her" in terms of both strength and the degree of distortion!
Although the other party's reason was clumsy, Lu Yu did not press for details. He could tell from the several times the other party had helped him that she had no ill intentions towards him.
Everyone has secrets, and that's enough!
Cui Han listened in silence without expressing any opinion.
The others were also curious and joined the discussion.
Just as they were chatting, the Dark Sun Watcher suddenly shook violently, making it clear to everyone that they had now entered the interior.
However, what came into view was not the radiance and holiness I had imagined, but rather...
A vast, unimaginably powerful river of black light flowed slowly through the boundless void.
In the vast and boundless expanse of the outside world, the Dark Sun Watcher appears as a tiny, isolated island on the sea, drifting slowly.
It could sink at any moment!
"It's so dark!"
This scene amazed Luo Qingyue and the others.
"Darkness...no, this seems to be the reversed spirituality of the sun!" Lu Yu was also surprised after receiving the telepathic message from the Paper Knight.
I thought it would be a dark region like the Eternal Dark Sea, but I never expected it...
It is a product of the forced reversal of the sun's spirituality under the influence of some force, like the two sides of a life.
It should be called the River of Sunlight!
The sun's shadow flows with rivers of spiritual birth!
Even the Paper Knight was shocked, seeing for the first time this seemingly dark but actually luminous spiritual power.
And the sheer number of them is so vast that they cover everything!
Lu Yu had a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.
"It's so dark!" Luo Qingyue exclaimed, pressing her head against the glass partition of the Dark Sun Monitor, trying to see the food in the Black River.
However, just as she opened her eyes to observe, ripples suddenly appeared in the calm Shadow River.
Next second,
A strange creature, long and serpentine in shape, resembling a dragon but not quite, with a spiral horn and three fiery claws on its belly, swept directly over the Dark Sun Watcher and silently disappeared into the Shadow River.
This startled Luo Qingyue. She patted her chest and couldn't help but complain, "What an ugly body structure! It's comparable to a mutant!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu realized what was going on and finally understood where this sense of familiarity came from.
Supreme Mother River!
Its main channel gives rise to tributaries that flow mightily, penetrating everything, and within them dwell a large number of deformed beings distorted by a vast spirituality.
All life that enters the Mother River must constantly go against the current and resist its attacks in order to approach the source of the Mother River and usher in a transformation of its life level.
Similarly, within the River of Sunlight, there lie distorted and negative solar demons, nurtured by immense spirituality over countless ages, and their source must also be sought.
"If I'm not mistaken..." Lu Yu looked into the distance, where numerous points of light, large and small, appeared on the shadowy river shrouded in eerie light, drifting within it.
Among them were the prodigies of all races who had entered the ruins ahead of time, such as Du'e Tai Sui and Luo Zisong, but the Faceless Brotherhood was nowhere to be seen; it was unclear where they were hiding.
Because they radiated light, they stood out in the dark Shadow River, attracting attacks from many strange Shadow River creatures.
These creatures vary in strength; the weak ones only undergo spiritual transformation, while the strong ones possess the limits of the Radiant Moon realm and are pseudo-giants.
They repeatedly attacked the glowing carriages, but were quickly killed.
After their bodies shattered, a large amount of mysterious oil spilled out, dripping onto the carriage and making the flames on the Sun Horse even more intense. It began to condense a mysterious phantom of the sun, strengthening the power of the Sun Horse and guiding their direction.
Among them, the carriages of princes such as Du'e Tai Sui and Dongfang Yuan were the most dazzling.
Gradually gaining the upper hand!
However, as the battle continued, the Shadow River creatures that appeared became more numerous, larger, and more distorted, and stronger, putting pressure on them as well.
If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before a giant-level Shadow River creature appears.
Cui Han said in a deep voice, "It seems that in order to get through here, we must kill the Shadow River creatures and extract special oils. We need to hurry."
Lu Yu did not answer, but fell into deep thought.
This solar relic—no, it should be called the sun—seems to be...
Simulated Mother River?
