As if sensing Lu Chen's gaze, Perfected Lord Tianlan glanced at Lu Chen with the glittering golden Kunlun Seal in his hand.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and asked, "Are we going to start now?"
"No," Perfected Lord Tianlan denied. "We'll have to wait for a while longer. When the Blood Sea phenomenon in the sky completely covers the sky, it will be the time for us to open the seal of the relic and completely activate the blood moon."
Lu Chen thought back to when he had just descended. The sea of blood above the vault of heaven still had the last bit of clear sky. It was like an incomparably precious gem that was on the verge of collapse embedded in the bloody sky. Lu Chen nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "I remember that the seal of the ruins has existed for many years. No one has ever entered it. How did you know the method to open it?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled and said, "Back then, my master, Master Tian Hong, had set it up here. He used his great power to destroy the old seal that had been passed down since ancient times and was on the verge of collapsing after a long time. Then, he set up a brand-new powerful seal and told me all the secrets behind it."
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat and a strange expression flashed across his face. After a moment of hesitation, he asked Perfected Lord Tianlan, "Am I overthinking? Why do I feel that … although there's nothing wrong with what you said on the surface, my grandmaster left an opening on purpose and told you about it?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan smiled and nodded. "We're indeed of the same origin. That's the truth." After a pause, he looked at Lu Chen with a smile and sighed. "It's a pity that your grandmaster passed away early. If he could see you today, I'm sure he would feel gratified."
Lu Chen did not become complacent because of Perfected Lord Tianlan's praise. His grandmaster, Master Tian Hong, had an extremely high status when he was alive and was almost the same as Perfected Lord Tianlan now. It seemed that such a peerless figure had a very different vision from ordinary people. He was just a little puzzled, so he took this opportunity to ask Perfected Lord Tianlan, "Then I don't understand. Isn't the stronger the seal since ancient times, the stronger the seal is, the stronger it is? Why would it deliberately leave a hole so that people could easily break this seal? "
Perfected Lord Tianlan looked at him and smiled without saying anything. Under his gaze, Lu Chen gradually frowned. After a while, he said, "It can't be that … Grandmaster predicted this situation so long ago, right?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan said indifferently, "No one in this world is an immortal, and it's impossible for anyone to predict the future. He definitely didn't expect today's events. Only, "he suddenly laughed coldly and said," Only, when he was on his deathbed, he talked to me about the past. "
Lu Chen's spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "What did Grand Master say?" What a joke! These were the words of a Deity Transformation Stage True Monarch who had looked down upon the mortal world before his death. There was definitely something extraordinary and profound about it. Only a fool would let go of the opportunity to listen to it.
Perfected Lord Tianlan waved his hand, but his expression was very calm. He said, "It's not a particularly important secret. It's just some gossip. After he told me about the secret in the underground ruins of the Immortal City, he told me that we, the human race, are known as the spirits of all living things. We have been standing in this world for an unknown amount of time, but in these long years, we will always make some ancient mistakes. That is all caused by human nature. "
"He said that the world will always be chaotic and difficult to calm. Even if there are no external enemies, there will always be internal strife and killing among us. At the end of the day, it's still about the unfair distribution. There are hundreds of millions of living beings in the vast land of the divine continent, but the resources to cultivate to become an immortal are always limited. It's impossible to satisfy everyone's needs. No, it's not even enough to satisfy half of the people's needs. "
"The supply and demand are already so tight. However, there are still some people in this world," At this point, Perfected Lord Tianlan's face suddenly revealed a ruminating look. He pointed at Lu Chen and then at his own chest. "Yes, this group of people are like us. Some of them even occupy resources that far exceed what they need. That's why there's a divide between the rich and the poor. The poorer the poor, the richer the rich. "
Lu Chen stared at the damn baldy for a while. "You're quite insightful. However, why didn't you say that in the past?"
"Am I stupid to say that?" Perfected Lord Tianlan scoffed at that question. "There are countless people in the world and most of them are no different from ants. The things that I can do with so many resources is much better than what they can do."
Lu Chen said, "So you're even deciding the fate of the people in the world for them?"
Perfected Lord Tianlan harrumphed. "That's right. It's much better for me to decide for them than them."
"Alright," Lu Chen nodded and sighed.
…
"Creak." The door was pulled open. At that moment, a rare ray of light fell from the sky and shone on the courtyard, adding some liveliness to the cold and lonely place.
White Lotus gently covered her eyes with her hands. After a while, her eyes slowly adapted to the light outside the house. Then, she walked into the courtyard and looked up at the sky.
The sea of blood was vast and boundless. There was only a hole in the sky at the center. However, the waves of blood kept surging and it seemed that the last gap would be swallowed up very soon.
White Lotus lowered her head. There seemed to be a trace of confusion on her beautiful but slightly pale face. She subconsciously reached out her hand to support the old tree in the courtyard beside her. However, when her palm rested on the tree trunk, White Lotus suddenly felt something. She abruptly raised her head and looked to the side. She saw that the old tree, which used to be lush and full of vitality, had withered and was full of green leaves. All that was left was creaking and stretching towards the sky. It was as if a dying person was desperately reaching out to the sky to grab at the last life-saving straw.
The tree seemed to have died.
White Lotus stared at the old tree in a daze. She used her hand to gently push it. The tree did not move at all. After a while, a withered branch made a low crackling sound and fell at her feet.
White Lotus looked at the withered branch at her feet. After a moment of silence, she took a step forward and stepped over it. Just like that, she walked out of the house. For the first time in a while, she stood on the road outside.
In the distance, she could see the Horse Washing Bridge. In the dim light, the bridge seemed to have become a sick and powerless person, lying there lazily.
White Lotus expressionlessly walked over. After identifying the direction, she began to walk towards the entrance of the underground cave in the Immortal City.
