"Darkness and nothingness. It's a term that originated from the Ninth Cycle Era of the most ancient times. The nothingness hidden in the darkness is a progress bar that marks the progress of each cycle. "
"In other words, nothingness and existence are like the hierarchy of an hourglass?"
In the Demonic Realm, Lu Sheng frowned as he flipped through a purplish-black leather book in his hands. Countless bones, flesh, and mysterious runes wriggled on the book.
It had been a few days since he returned to the Demonic Realm.
He left everything to Bansai and the others while he focused on collecting information about the forces of nothingness.
The Prime Devil Sect was now able to communicate with nine different universes of different styles and different energy levels thanks to his continuous connection and descent.
These nine universes were all worlds that he had personally descended upon.
Vast amounts of resources and knowledge were sorted out and gathered in the Prime Devil Sect. They were compiled into a book, and Lu Sheng personally reviewed them.
Currently, the Prime Devil Sect could be said to be at its most powerful period in history.
After more than two hundred years since he left, there were five Death Star experts who joined the research society. There were 13 Underworld experts below the Death Star level. The number of Void Underworld experts was uncertain because most of them were nominal members of the research society.
There were countless experts of other levels.
It could be said that the only thing the Prime Devil Sect and the research society lacked now was a true River System level overlord.
Lu Sheng's appearance was the existence that laid the foundation.
The Prime Devil Sect and the Anomaly Research Society were two sides of the same coin. After Lu Sheng met with Bansai, they quickly made all the necessary preparations to welcome the return of a River System level overlord. Hence, after Lu Sheng's return, everything went smoothly. There were no delays.
After meeting with the higher-ups, Lu Sheng went into seclusion and entered research mode.
Of course, he did not forget the true purpose of his return. He had already sent a message to Wang Jing in advance.
Through the special communication method that Wang Jing had left behind, he only needed to wait for two Heavenly Devil Days, and he would receive a reply.
Now, all he had to do was wait.
In the vast and luxurious black-purple palace, Lu Sheng flipped another page of the book in his hand.
This book was the rumored ancient Devil Codex of the Demonic Realm. It was rumored that all creatures that were opened would be affected by the strange ancient knowledge within, and their minds would mutate and become slaves of the Fiend Codex.
At the same time, there were also rumors that the Fiend Code recorded the most ancient and secret knowledge in history. Coincidentally, a Death Star powerhouse whom the research society had helped donated it to the entire research society as a reward.
That was why this book appeared in front of Lu Sheng.
Many people had heard that the words in the Fiend Code were special characters that had been encrypted. It was impossible for anyone to understand them.
Lu Sheng flipped to the next page, only to discover that the page was filled with a completely unfamiliar language.
He frowned.
"Translate it." He knocked on the book.
The thick Fiend Code shuddered, trembled slightly, and quickly glowed purple. Soon, the words on the page were automatically translated into the Heavenly Devil Language that Lu Sheng was familiar with.
"Don't need me to remind you of everything in the future. Be more self-aware," Lu Sheng said lightly.
"Yes …"
A line of small words automatically appeared in the blank space at the bottom of the page.
Lu Sheng continued to read.
"The power of nothingness, eternal existence, corresponding to the eternal particles of the power of existence."
"Born in the dark nothingness, the source of everything, the collection of all nothingness, it is unknown, untouchable, and unimaginable mystery. We can only call it mystery. The essence of mystery is unknowable. Because it is unknowable, it is mysterious. Because it is mysterious, it is powerful. "
"The source of nothingness is mystery. Because we can't touch it, can't understand it, and can't even imagine it, mystery is just a pronoun. Mystery is the source of all nothingness. Just like the eternal particles of existence, it represents omniscience and omnipotence. "
Reading up to this point, Lu Sheng faintly understood something.
At his level, there were too few books that could help him understand something. This Fiend Code recorded many magical and powerful spells, but those things were trash in his eyes.
Only this record in the middle gave him a clearer understanding of the relationship between existence and nothingness.
"I didn't expect to find this book in order to avoid future troubles and better live in seclusion." Lu Sheng sighed. He continued to read.
"Mystery and eternity. These are the opposites and interdependent cycles, the ultimate of the two great cycles.
Everything, including the universe, the Mother Stream, nothingness, and other systems, follow this ultimate law and cycle continuously. From the initial mysterious power to the eternal weakness, then to the eternal power to the mysterious weakness, and finally to the mysterious power to the end.
After studying it for a long time, we found out that it is like a huge eye, with two sharp parts and a fat middle part.
In the cycle, the mystery at the beginning and the end is short and strong. The time is short and the intensity is high.
On the other hand, the long and fat eternity in the middle is low in intensity and long.
Therefore, to make it easier to remember and record our findings, my allies and I named this phenomenon, the Eye of Gesangna. "
Reading up to this point, Lu Sheng was slightly stunned.
"What a nostalgic name …" He remembered the magical eye that he used to condense with the Mystic Water Divine Sigil.
When he was condensing it, he heard countless people shouting the name of the Eye of Gesangna, so he simply named the eye magical ability he condensed with this name.
Now it seemed …
With a chuckle, Lu Sheng continued flipping to the back.
There were no more records about this after that. The Fiend Code was essentially a book that recorded a large number of powerful and terrifying mysterious spells. The paragraph just now was just a little insight left behind by an unknown powerhouse who had read the Fiend Code.
Closing the book, Lu Sheng lightly tapped the stone on the armrest.
Now that he understood the nature of the forces of nothingness, he understood that perhaps he had already reached the end of the Great Cycle. This was the time when the mysteries were at their strongest.
"At times like this, we should find a place to live in seclusion and live a good life. We must go with the flow. Don't be a mantis trying to stop a chariot and stop the wheels of fate, "he sighed.
"Hiss …"
Suddenly, a white light shone in the palace to his left. With a flash of light, Li Shunxi appeared on the thick carpet, his face filled with exhaustion and excitement.
He was still wearing the standard silver robe of the society's high-ranking members. Behind him, a white-gold circular halo that represented eternity flickered slowly. This was the highest grade of defense barrier that the society's high-ranking members worked together to develop. It could be immune to all elemental attacks from novice Void Wheels who had just attained the Void Underworld rank.
"Boss, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Li Shunxi said loudly with a smile.
"Let's hear the bad news first," Lu Sheng said casually.
"The bad news is that we haven't been able to contact Sister-in-law. Our network only knows that she's undergoing secret training in a place called Aonadu. Some beings who possess mysterious powers have high hopes for her, "Li Shunxi said quickly.
"You haven't been able to contact her? Aonadu? "Lu Sheng nodded. Even the society and the Prime Devil Sect could not locate Wang Jing's whereabouts. Perhaps he had to try another channel. He did not believe that he could not contact Wang Jing. At most, it would take him some time.
"So, what's the good news?" he asked again.
"The good news is that the forces of nothingness have temporarily stopped their invasion. This gives us some breathing space. "Li Shunxi had no idea that the boss before him was planning to retire and live in seclusion.
He began to ramble on about the various intelligence confrontations with the forces of nothingness recently. After the strength of the League of Stars and the Palaeozoic was greatly reduced, the pressure of the nothingness's invasion naturally fell on the forces that rose to power later on.
In the beginning, the pressure was great. However, as time passed, the society and the Prime Devil Sect gradually adapted to the various methods of the power of nothingness. There were no longer as many casualties …
Lu Sheng only listened calmly.
He had become a true immortal. As long as his Heart Image World was not destroyed, his physical body would never die.
With the help of the gray liquid's power, he did not need to expend much energy to resurrect himself. In fact, the energy that the Heart Image World naturally nurtured at every moment was enough for him to keep on dying.
In other words, he was currently in an immortal state.
Perhaps only soul attacks could inflict some damage on him.
Lu Sheng, who was slightly distracted, suddenly felt guilty.
Once he retired completely and stopped caring about the world, nobody knew what would happen to the huge Prime Devil Sect and the society without his protection.
Given the current situation, where could he live in seclusion forever?
Lu Sheng fell into deep thought.
"… Boss, what do you plan to do now? Oh, right. Lu Ning changed girlfriends again. That kid is much more useless than you were back then. He talks like he's just eaten honey, "Li Shunxi said helplessly.
"How's his cultivation base?" Lu Sheng felt even more ashamed. He had not paid much attention to his son for so long. It was his uncles, Li Shunxi and Bansai, who had been helping him to discipline his son.
"Not bad. He's already at the Bind level." Li Shunxi saw that Lu Sheng's expression was a little off. He quickly added, "That's impressive. When we were his age, we didn't even have a concept of black membrane, much less Bind level."
"I gave him enough resources to nurture a hundred Weapon Masters, and this is what he gave me in return??!" There was no emotion in Lu Sheng's tone, but Li Shunxi instinctively felt a chill run down his spine.
"He's just a kid. It's normal for him to be a little playful," he quickly comforted.
Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Forget it. Ignore him. Do you have the approximate coordinates of Aonado?"
"Yes. We've tried to contact them, but they refuse all information from the outside world. This makes things difficult for us. All we can find out is that Aonado is led by a powerful person called the King of Magi. The exact coordinates are … "
Li Shunxi was already prepared. He quickly reported a series of coordinates in one breath.
Lu Sheng memorized the numbers.
"Got it. I'll go there myself and bring her back."
"Alright. That's just an ordinary middle-energy universe. We've locked onto two universes. Boss, you can start from these two." Li Shunxi reported two more numbers.
Lu Sheng memorized them.
"Got it." Since the force behind Wang Jing didn't want to contact the outside world, he might as well go look for her himself.
"Also, we found the Mother Of Pain." At the mention of this name, Li Shunxi's expression turned serious.
"Where?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
"The League of Stars. She's now Deputy League Leader Anukadi's mistress, "Li Shunxi said with a complicated expression." She's really good at hiding … "
"Let's go together?" Lu Sheng wanted to see for himself how capable a so-called River System Master was.
"Okay."
