Strong. This was also the reason why Jonah was even more determined to follow Lu Sheng.
She was poor and pretty. If she did not find someone powerful enough to protect her, she would run into all sorts of trouble before long.
Before this, she had disguised herself as a man and scammed others for food and drinks. After meeting Lu Sheng, the instincts of her inherited bloodline told her that he bore no ill will towards her.
In other words, she could sense that Lu Sheng treated everyone around him, including Yuna, as if they were little animals or plants.
It did not matter. He would look around when he was in a good mood. He would not bother when he was in a bad mood.
It was this feeling that made Jonah extremely curious about Lu Sheng. She had run away from home for so long. She had met many people. Some were good, some were bad, some had ulterior motives, and some were greedy and lustful.
Along the way, someone had seen through her disguise and almost knocked her out with a secret potion. Fortunately, her bloodline was unique. She managed to regain consciousness in time and escape the Devil's Den.
Through her senses, Jonah could clearly tell that Lu Sheng might not be a noble, but he must be very rich.
This was because no matter how much money he tossed out, he did not feel the slightest bit of emotion.
It should be noted that even rich merchants would feel the pinch when they tossed out gold or jewels.
However, Lu Sheng had nothing.
This made Jonah wonder if her senses were useless. However, after testing it on a few random people, she regained her confidence. It was not that her senses were useless. It was just that Lu Sheng really did not care.
She could sense that their patience had reached its limit when they ate and drank for free at other people's places. However, at Lu Sheng's place, she had no qualms about eating and drinking for free.
This was because she could clearly sense that Lu Sheng did not care about money at all. He tossed out gold like he was tossing pebbles.
After the meal, the residence arranged a tea party and a ball. There were also people who organized games of cards and chess as after-dinner activities.
Lu Sheng was not interested. After the meal, he left the residence and walked toward the slums.
The guards who came with him tried to stop him, but he waved them away.
Jonah and Yuna gave it some thought, then followed behind him. One of them had nowhere else to go, and the other was afraid that they would lose their meal ticket.
The three of them approached the slums one after another.
After walking for about a kilometer, they could see the silhouettes of the refugees who were either sitting or lying on the side of the road.
Lu Sheng didn't get too close. He stopped at a distance.
He ignored the two girls behind him. He did not come here because he pitied the poor, but because he clearly sensed that there were many souls that died due to natural lifespan and disease.
At every moment, a large number of souls were constantly dissipating, and a large number of souls were constantly forming and being reborn.
Death and new life formed a subtle dynamic balance here.
Compared to those cities with intact ecology, the cycle of life and death here was too fast.
Wisps of mysterious Yin energy constantly permeated the air in this cycle of life and death. It surged in the air.
Lu Sheng raised his head and looked up.
It was clearly a boundless, cloudless blue sky, but in his eyes, the sky was covered by a thick layer of gray clouds.
'Such tremendous reincarnation power can only be retained when death and new life circulate at the same time.' Lu Sheng sighed inwardly.
There were more than 100,000 poor people here. There were more than 100,000 people living here to begin with. In addition to the recent wars, the refugees who fled from the Light Nation and the Shadow Nation had rapidly increased the population here.
The place where Lu Sheng stood was only a small part of the huge slums.
As he stood at the edge, he looked up and saw the tremendous reincarnation power that had been accumulated in this slum for more than a century.
'The Way of Nature, the cycle of the heavens. If I absorb this reincarnation power, I'll have to bear the greatest burden of karma.' Lu Sheng understood this now. It was just like when he was in the small town.
However, he had comprehended enough laws now. The only thing he lacked to elevate his Heart Image World was sufficient reincarnation power.
This power was just enough for him to improve and elevate his cultivation base.
It had been some time since he ascended to the Void Underworld realm. However, he was still stuck at the first grade.
If he absorbed this reincarnation power, he would have completely made up for his final shortcoming, and he would be able to ascend to the next tier.
Lu Sheng stood where he was for a while until the two girls behind him grew impatient.
He suddenly took a step forward.
"Whoosh …"
The wind rose.
Lu Sheng stood where he was silently. In the sky that mortals could not see, gray clouds began to churn wildly. They extended countless tendrils and shot toward the ground.
"Hiss …"
The boundless reincarnation power turned into gray clouds and came crashing down. They entered Lu Sheng's mouth, nostrils, ears, and eyes.
His Heart Image World shook violently. Originally, it was difficult for the souls of the living beings inside to be reborn after their deaths. However, with the reincarnation power, a new soul would be born naturally every time a soul died.
The Path of Reincarnation was finally perfected under the nourishment of this tremendous power.
Lu Sheng's first-tier Void Underworld realm was completely stabilized now.
His understanding of the Godheads from before was also surging into his Heart Image World in great quantities.
The entire Heart Image World did not seem to have changed much on the surface. However, the deeper aspects of the rules were also becoming more complete and perfected as his understanding of them increased.
'There are three major stages in the Void Underworld realm. The Void Wheel, Materialization, and Nether Net. Each stage is further divided into four minor realms. I suppose I'm at the second stage of the Void Wheel now? '
Lu Sheng moved his finger. A radiant disc of his Heart Image World immediately appeared before his eyes. The radiant disc still had the same markings as before. However, the radiant disc's color was much more realistic than before. It had changed from pure white to a faint brass color.
'When the radiant disc, which is also the Void Wheel, solidifies and turns on its own, I've truly entered the second major stage, Materialization …'
Lu Sheng was slowly understanding the subsequent cultivation path. With the rapid growth of his experience and knowledge of the martial path, he was no longer the ignorant and insignificant character he once was.
"Let's go back." When he snapped out of his daze, he turned around and headed back to the mansion.
"Eh? Why are you stopping halfway? "Jonah asked in surprise.
"I don't want to go anymore," Lu Sheng replied.
Since he was not going, the two girls naturally did not dare to go as well. Only a strong-looking man like Lu Sheng could give them a sense of security.
When they returned to the mansion, Yuna had gradually become familiar with Jonah. She was no longer afraid of her. She knew that Jonah had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The two girls chatted happily.
Jonah always had a lot to say. Her words always revealed the luxury and nobility of her clan.
This made Yuna extremely envious.
Lu Sheng sat on a couch in a small living room. He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was communicating with Deep Blue. He was organizing his progress and cultivation base since he came here.
Deep Blue needed to be organized and simplified. Otherwise, it would be a mess like a ball of string that had been torn apart.
Lu Sheng categorized the martial path that he had no use for and quickly simplified Deep Blue's interface.
After doing this, he calmed down and sensed the karmic will within the reincarnation power he had absorbed earlier.
"Let's end this …
"End the war. End everything!
"Pain … disease, chaos of war … family destruction … family separation … family separation …"
"I feel terrible … I'm hungry … My stomach hurts …"
Hundreds of thousands of wills converged into a tremendous will. The instant Lu Sheng came into contact with it, it surged wildly.
A huge amount of negative emotions surged into his mind, attempting to affect his mind. However, it was futile.
Lu Sheng was a Void Underworld Heavenly Devil. His spirit was so powerful that he was not affected even when he pulled his Heart Image World to devour the living beings of an entire planet. Moreover, this little bit of resentment in his soul.
"Eliminate the karmic will of war, huh?" Lu Sheng opened his eyes and sighed in slight helplessness.
All the wills and karmic wills formed a single will — eliminate war.
'As long as the human heart is alive, war will never end … As long as there are struggles, there will never be peace in war.' Lu Sheng understood this very well.
The reincarnation power accumulated in this world was extremely terrifying. Perhaps, nobody had ever used this power before. Even the gods could not sense this karmic and conceptual power.
Hence, this benefited Lu Sheng. He could absorb the vast reincarnation power without restraint, but he had to accept the karmic will contained within it.
"Uncle, are you confused?" Jonah was already seated on a couch at the side. She was lazily sipping from a glass of fruit juice.
"You can feel it?" Lu Sheng was slightly surprised. What rank was he? Jonah was a mortal. How could she sense his emotions, which were on par with a god's?
"Isn't it written all over your face?" Jonah smiled to cover it up. "Since you've treated me to a meal, I'll tell you this. Don't be a coward when you encounter a problem. In this world, since the problem is in your hands, just do it according to your heart.
"It's good if you do it well, but if you mess it up, the world is so big. You can just start over somewhere else. Who would know who you are if you change your identity and territory? The world is so big. Isn't it for people to mess around? "
Lu Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. But after thinking about it, the universe was so big. If he messed up a plane, so be it. There were many other places, anyway. To the universe, a plane was just a tiny crack that was not even comparable to an ant's hole.
"Although your reasoning is crude, it does make sense if I think about it." Lu Sheng stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"I'm telling you, do everything before you think about it. As for the future, that's all in the future. The most important thing is now. Are you comfortable now? That's the most important thing. "Jonah waved her hand and said generously.
"Take me for example. My family is extremely powerful and rich. I could have stayed at home and lived a peaceful life as a young lady, but I couldn't accept it. I couldn't accept that the outside world was so wonderful, but I could only be tied up at home, unable to go out." She had an expression as if she couldn't bear to recall the past.
"So you mean …?" This was the first time Lu Sheng felt that someone else's words were so to his liking. It made his heart palpitate with excitement.
"Just do whatever you want!" Jonah said generously. "If there's a problem, do whatever you want. As a man, how can you be afraid?!"
"Then I'll just do it?" Lu Sheng asked hesitantly.
"Do it! Do whatever you want! "Jonah said impatiently.
"… Makes sense!" Lu Sheng made up his mind.
Since things had come to this, he would give it his all!
At most, this plane would be completely destroyed. It was not his home anyway. The universe was so big. At most, he could start over somewhere else.
Thinking of this, he patted Jonah's shoulder.
"You're not bad. You're very self-aware. If you have nowhere else to go, you can come find me."
Jonah was stunned. Before she could react, Lu Sheng stood up and left.
"Are you serious?"
However, by the time she reacted, Lu Sheng was already out of sight.
