"Ancient Divine Script …"
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the roof. The chilly wind whistled past him. He only wore a thin white shirt. The outline of his strong muscles could be seen through his collar.
It had been half a year since he left the small town.
In this half a year, he accompanied Esseinro to the Virtuous Academy. It was a private and well-funded research institute. It was a place to nurture talented researchers.
There, he worked with Esseinro to research the mystery of physical fitness. At the same time, he obtained all the Ancient Divine Script that Esseinro had mastered.
'The Ancient Divine Script is actually just a few special symbols and runes used in ancient sacrificial rituals. They don't have any special meaning. A single symbol has many symbolic meanings, and represents various attributes and meanings.'
Lu Sheng recalled the Ancient Divine Script that he had learned recently. There were two Orthodox Divine Scripts, and three Evil God Scripts.
There were five of them in total. Each of them had an extremely complicated structure. Even the smallest rune needed a meter wide and a meter long to be fully drawn.
What concerned Lu Sheng more was the strange fragment he had obtained from the small town.
Ever since that day, this purple fragment had not shown any signs of activity. The only sign was that it would tremble slightly when one of the Evil God Scripts was being drawn.
And this Evil God text was worshiping the Evil God's Secret Robe that he had seen at another place. The God that controlled the boundary between life and death.
Lu Sheng suddenly recalled the Eye of Gesangna that had appeared when he was forming the water ball. That strange eyeball had given him quite a fright at that time.
It was something that could attack the soul directly, and without causing any damage. Under normal circumstances, a soul attack had to be launched using one's own spirit as the foundation. Hence, it would more or less cause the user's soul to be injured and unstable, and would require subsequent recovery. However, the Eye of Gesangna did not have this problem.
And now … a special existence like the Evil God Misha had appeared.
This forced Lu Sheng to pay attention to other planets other than the Great Yin and the Great Song. Perhaps there were terrifying existences that he could not even imagine. They had also left their marks in other worlds.
Perhaps they were the natives of these worlds, and were only in a temporary slumber.
The night sky was dotted with stars. Lu Sheng picked up a bottle of sour plum juice from the side. He tilted his head back and took a sip.
'If a Divine Lord's spirit underwent a qualitative change and reached the level of a top-notch psychic that could distort reality. Then, a Weapon Grandmaster would be even more powerful. Perhaps … '
He suddenly thought of the series of strange scenes he had encountered in the small town. His Heavenly Demon trait would prevent him from falling into hallucinations. However, he had still somehow fallen into an illusion.
"This fragment …" Lu Sheng slowly took out the purple fragment from his chest and fell into deep thought.
"Sir Luo Sang." As he was deep in thought, a gentle voice suddenly drifted toward him from the corridor.
"What's the matter?" Lu Sheng was slightly irritated that his train of thought was interrupted. His tone was slightly cold.
"It's just that … there's just a small matter that I would like to consult Your Excellency … I wonder if it's possible?" The owner of the voice was an exquisite golden-haired girl who wore a pure white tunic dress and thin black stockings. She slowly approached Lu Sheng with a hint of shyness.
Her slender legs took small steps, and her white dress fluttered in the wind. She was so cold that she shivered slightly.
Ever since the incident in the small town, it was as if the dark clouds that engulfed the entire world were slowly dispersing.
Countless people were freed. The White Eagle lost its original purpose. However, it was not completely disbanded. After some of the people who were indifferent to fame and fortune left, more members joined.
The White Eagle transformed from a wandering organization into a true colossus. Its influence spanned across the military, political, and business sectors.
Luo Di was the third most influential member of the White Eagle because of his relationship with Lu Sheng.
In the small town, Lu Sheng's terrifying power shocked Mera and the others. Urus's ruthlessness and unscrupulousness were even more disdainful.
After that, Urus was arrested and imprisoned by the president of the country. He was sentenced to 362 years in prison. He could only die of old age in prison. If not for the fact that there was no death penalty law, he would have been sentenced to death for a crime like this.
His daughter Yuya, on the other hand, had no choice but to set her sights on Lu Sheng.
Her objective was clear. The only person she could come into contact with and had the ability to save her father was Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was well aware of her objective. Besides, he did not want to leave seeds in the outside world. Even if he wanted to, he would not choose a woman with such a clear objective.
Under such circumstances, he did not resist Yuya's approach because this woman's physique could cause the shard to tremble.
Yuya hesitated for a moment before replying, "Sir, do you know that there are people and organizations targeting you and carrying out special assassination missions?"
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. "And?"
Yuya's expression turned serious. She said calmly, "My family can help you find out who's targeting you."
"And?" Lu Sheng did not deny it.
"And your father, Lord Luo Di. He'll have sufficient confidence and trump cards. My family will support Lord Luo Di with all our might," Yuya said quickly.
"It's meaningless," Lu Sheng said casually, "Even I can't reverse your father's verdict. Don't even think about it."
"But you can testify that my father doesn't know that there's such a powerful existence in the town. He brought his men to destroy and investigate the town without knowing it, "Yuya quickly said. What they wanted was for Lu Sheng to make a statement.
That way, the method to reduce Urus's sentence could be put to use. It was better than dying of old age in prison.
"Also, you might be interested in this." She took out a necklace from her collar slowly. There was an exquisite dark purple crystal pendant hanging from the necklace.
Lu Sheng saw the exquisite divine veins carved on the pendant at first glance. The shard in his hand was even more agitated now.
He did not know how this girl knew that he was interested in this. However, he knew the reason for the shard's trembling now.
"As long as you agree to it, it's yours. Along with me, "Yuya said calmly.
Lu Sheng thought about it for a long time. He could not stay here forever. Hence, Luo Di's future had to be settled.
The faction behind Yuya was enough to make him feel more at ease. He would also have an additional layer of protection for Luo Di.
"I can't make a stand directly, but I'll persuade the others to be fair," Lu Sheng answered after some thought.
The only way to reduce his sentence was by performing meritorious deeds. Urus's sentence was too long. If he wanted to reduce his sentence by performing meritorious deeds, he would not be able to get out in a short time, even if he manipulated things from behind the scenes.
It would be good enough if he could get out before he died of old age.
"Thank you, sir!" Yuya was overjoyed. She took two steps closer, and the fragrance of her hormones wafted naturally into Lu Sheng's nostrils.
A hint of anger rose in his heart, but he suppressed it and stood up.
"Also, I only want things. You can forget about it. "
After he finished speaking, he ignored the stunned Yuya and left the rooftop.
"It's time to go back."
The matter with Urus had come to an end. After Lu Sheng dealt with some of the factions that were eyeing his power, he had a private conversation with Luo Di. Then, he disappeared from the public's sight.
The legend of the small town became a classic story in all sorts of novels, scripts, and dramas.
Luo Di obtained the support of Yuya's family, and his position in the White Eagle became even more stable. He gained more authority. After that, he got together with Fran and went through a new marriage ceremony. They formed a new family.
As for Luo Sang, this strange name gradually faded away with the passage of time.
Luo Di was the only one who noticed that something was off. He quickly sent people to search in secret, but he found nothing.
Through his research, Esseinro found out that although Luo Sang's body was terrifyingly strong, his metabolism was also a hundred times faster than an ordinary person's. With such a metabolism, an ordinary person's body would not last more than a few years before they would rapidly die from exhaustion.
After Luo Di learned of this research, he seemed to have understood something.
Two years later, he built a cenotaph for his son, Luo Sang, with his newly born twin sons and Fran.
The people of the White Eagle came to pay their respects.
…
"Bam!"
A ring of faint red ripples suddenly exploded in the Research Temple.
Lu Sheng knelt on one knee. His clothes were torn apart and set ablaze. In no time, he turned into black ash and disappeared.
His body trembled violently and contorted. It was as if he was being torn apart by some immense power.
"Freeze!!" Lu Sheng roared abruptly.
The entire Research Temple trembled. Everything instantly came to a halt. It was as if time had been paused.
The condensed Spiritual Power that was so dense that it was almost tangible formed a Spiritual Storm. It swept and surged madly in the Research Temple.
This Soul Power naturally followed some kind of special path and formed a mysterious cycle in the hall.
A large pile of research equipment was flipped over and suspended in midair.
Some of the scattered papers were curled up, and some were laid flat. It was as if they had been frozen the moment they were blown into the air by the wind.
The black ash from the burning clothes, the flashing red runes on the ground, and the weapons on the walls. Everything was fixed in place by an immense and terrifying Spiritual Power.
"Ugh … I almost exploded … That was close." Lu Sheng finally stabilized his body and stood up.
He was still in Luo Sang's body. This time, he did not return with his main body. Instead, he attempted to return with Luo Sang's body.
The result was that the clothes on his body self-destructed the instant he entered the spatial rift, and his incredibly powerful physical body started to rapidly disintegrate. If he had not reacted in time and immediately released the divine soul of a Divine Intellect Divine Lord to deceive nature, lock everything in place, and isolate everything … Luo Sang's body might have completely collapsed by now.
'Looks like it won't work … My Spiritual Power is being depleted too quickly. This Time Freeze is a special ability that only Divine Intellect Divine Lords can use. I can use it now. Moreover, I've persisted in using it, and I've far surpassed the records of ordinary Divine Intellect Divine Lords. However … 'Lu Sheng stood up. Blood flowed from all seven orifices on his body. He looked exceptionally savage and terrifying.
'However, it's too draining. Even in my current state, my Spiritual Power can only last for a minute at most.'
According to Lu Sheng's understanding from various sources, Time Freeze was a special ability that would naturally appear when one's spirit reached a certain level of strength. It was a terrifying special ability that belonged to Divine Intellect Divine Lords.
Most Divine Intellect Divine Lords who had just ascended could use Time Freeze for about ten seconds. As the total amount of Lu Sheng's Spiritual Power was equivalent to that of many veteran Divine Intellect Divine Lords, he could reach the peak of this level and maintain Time Freeze for a minute.
'If Shizi Xing hadn't appeared back then, and if the Mind-Controlling Demon Master Xiao Zizhu's main body had come, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist. At the time, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist. Fortunately, I only faced one of his Yin bodies the first time. 'Lu Sheng instantly understood everything that had happened in the past.
After that, he tricked Xiao Zizhu the moment they met. They had only just begun fighting, but he had already used the Pain Mirror's fragment to forcefully pull him into the World of Pain. It had to be said that it was risky.
However, the result was obvious. He won, and Xiao Zizhu died.
In the World of Pain, one's spirit did not have that much power. Only physical strength was recognized there. The gray gas in the World of Pain was also something that one's spirit could not freeze.
'Poor fellow, he died a wrongful death.' Now that Lu Sheng thought about it, he felt a sense of pity for Xiao Zizhu. A Devil World powerhouse, a Divine Intellect expert, died in the World of Pain just like that. Nobody even knew who the murderer was.
