Outside the abandoned manor.
The white fox leapt up gracefully and landed steadily on a large tree branch.
"Using that clone's power should be enough to get rid of it. But after that, we still have to think about what comes next. The Main Sect won't let this go. "
"Of course. But as long as The Mother Of Pain is still holding on, we'll be safe." Not far away, a black python as thick as a bucket slowly crawled out of the bushes. The python's eyes were like two spots of ink, extremely black.
"But … that messenger, I don't know where I've seen him before … he looks very familiar …" The white fox did not know why, but it felt a little nervous.
"Maybe we met him when we used the Subsidiary Body to collect souls?" the python asked in a low voice.
The white fox pondered for a moment and was about to answer.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the whole ground shook.
"What's going on!!?" The white fox and the other two quickly stabilized their bodies.
"Not good! The Subsidiary Body is broken! Run!! "Suddenly, the python's eyes widened in horror. It turned around and turned into a bolt of black lightning, flying into the distance.
The white fox and the black chicken were not slow either. One leaped up the tree, and the other dived into the ground.
But it was too late.
"Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt!!"
Dense black lightning shot out from the middle of the manor like black cracks, zigzagging and covering an area of hundreds of meters.
The black chicken, white fox, and python only had time to escape for a dozen meters before they were struck by the black lightning. In the blink of an eye, they were burnt to a crisp and turned into black powder.
In the middle of the manor, a black ball of light floated in the air.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, an arm reached out of the ball, followed by a second arm, a third arm …
One after another, the arms reached out of the black ball, grabbed the edges of the ball, and pulled hard.
With a tearing sound, the ball was suddenly torn into a huge crack several meters wide.
Lu Sheng slowly crawled out of the crack, more than a dozen pairs of arms on his body like a centipede, firmly grasping the black ball's frame. The six eyes on his three faces were burning with six golden flames.
In the crack behind him, countless pieces of the white evil spirits' corpses could be seen scattered across the valley like snowflakes.
One of them was a huge insect with the head of an old woman. It was torn into several pieces, and its remaining body was still wriggling and trembling on the ground.
"You actually used that thing against me. You … Very well!" Lu Sheng's huge body slowly climbed out of the black ball and stood firmly on the ground.
He looked around, but did not find the slightest trace of the three fellows.
"Hmm?"
Just now, in order to open that strange space, he used a little more strength and leaked out some of his power.
Now that he had come out, he actually couldn't see those three fellows.
Lu Sheng's Soul Power expanded rapidly, covering an area of several thousand kilometers in the blink of an eye. This was sufficient distance. Any further and he would probably trigger the Black Measure Net's instinctive counterattack, and his whereabouts would be exposed.
However, they still did not find any traces of the Three Sacred Gates' members in such a large area.
"You sure run fast." Lu Sheng was slightly displeased as he reverted to his original human form.
Walking out of the manor, the surroundings were a mess. There were charred black ashes from the black lightning, and there were many pits that had been blasted out by the tremendous power.
A few modified people quietly appeared from the corner and gathered towards him.
"President!" The leading modified person's arm was charred as well. However, his arm seemed to be recovering rapidly due to the fact that his power came from the same source as Lu Sheng's.
"We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's retreat." Lu Sheng looked around. He could no longer sense the Three Sacred Gates' aura.
"Understood!"
The modified people felt a lingering fear when they recalled the black lightning. When they heard the order, the few of them quickly crowded around Lu Sheng and retreated into the distance.
After returning to the research society's headquarters in the city, Lu Sheng immediately started secretly recruiting the people who harbored hatred and had encountered misfortune.
These people had stronger willpower than ordinary people. Perhaps it was because they were Anomalies, because of their ideals, or because they had been persecuted, or because they bore a grudge against their country.
Coincidentally, Lu Sheng had also received a secret message from the Green Branch Sect. The preparations in the outside world were complete. It was time to start the real preparations.
After receiving the news, Lu Sheng created a huge batch of implants that were a combination of his own cells and the Moonsilver. These implants only needed a simple surgery to complete the modification. The technology was already very mature.
After that, he prepared to head to Great Yin secretly. It was for no other reason than to meet his old friend, the current Li Shunxi.
With Li Shunxi's help, Great Yin might be able to progress much faster than Great Song.
However, at this moment, an unexpected guest came and disrupted his plans.
…
…
On the top floor of the Anomaly News Tower.
Lu Sheng crossed his legs and leaned against the leather chair. He turned his body sideways and looked at the gray, drizzling clouds outside the window.
"Looks like you're doing well." The person sat on the chair and looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated expression.
This person had a head of snow-white hair, and even his eyebrows were white. He was wearing a pitch-black satin robe, embroidered with some kind of unknown mythological beast or monster. The black and red alternated, and people couldn't help but associate it with words like blood and slaughter.
Most importantly, this person was a woman, and a woman Lu Sheng was very familiar with.
"It's been so many years, but you're still as impatient as ever, Jiuli. The moment you heard about me, you came to see me without even verifying it." Lu Sheng turned around and faced the woman. There was an inexplicable smile on his face.
Shangyang Jiuli saw that he finally admitted it. She had only guessed it, but now that he admitted it, the waves of shock in her heart were indescribable.
Lu Sheng, this man who was like a ghost or god, only took a dozen years to rise to the height of his fearsome might.
Back in the Northern Lands, she thought she already thought highly of him. She did not expect this man to be as terrifying as the Primitive Behemoth hidden under his harmless appearance.
"It's been so many years. I heard you went to Great Yin, and then? Why did you come back? "Shangyang Jiuli asked softly after a pause.
"Naturally, I have my reasons for coming back." Lu Sheng smiled warmly. "But, I've done most of what I need to do. I was preparing to go to Great Yin, but you found out. "
"You still want to leave? That's right, Great Song is too small for you. "Shangyang Jiuli had been cultivating hard for a hundred years, and was already a peak expert of the Weapon Master level. But even with such power, facing Lu Sheng before him, he still felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Do you want to come with me?" Lu Sheng asked. "With my current arrangements, it's not a big deal to bring a few people."
Now that Lu Sheng had reached this level, he naturally would not be stingy with his old friend. Moreover, Shangyang Jiuli was talented and strong-willed. As long as she had a suitable platform, it would not be a problem for her to reach the next level.
It was this closed world controlled by The Mother Of Pain that restricted her.
"Come with you? Leave? "Shangyang Jiuli was stunned. Now, she was the head of the Shangyang Family. After Shangyang Fei disappeared mysteriously, she survived the Devil Disaster, and became the most powerful person from the previous era.
Looking at the mysterious Lu Sheng in front of her, Shangyang Jiuli couldn't help but hesitate.
She knew that if she followed this man, she might encounter more danger. In terms of development, when Lu Sheng left Great Song, his strength was already far beyond hers. Not to mention that he had been in Great Yin for so long. Now that it had been more than a hundred years, who knew what level his strength had reached.
She would definitely have great potential if she followed him, but …
"There's no rush. Think about it first." Lu Sheng actually planned to build an organization that specialized in researching Anomalies.
Anomalies could not be destroyed. This was not only true on the planets under the Mother Of Pain's control. There were a few on other planets as well, but they were not as concentrated.
Moreover, the number of Anomalies would slowly increase.
What Lu Sheng worried about was that one day, Anomalies would completely take over the environment where most living beings lived, and turn the entire world into a strange and dangerous environment.
These Anomalies were like a terminally ill patient, with blisters and tumors popping up all over their bodies.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lu Sheng's mind.
'Maybe the so-called Anomalies … are really sick because the universe is sick?'
He felt that he should build an intelligence system and investigate it carefully.
By now, Shangyang Jiuli was almost done thinking.
"I'm sorry, but I have granddaughters and grandchildren, and a large family that I need to protect …"
"You're married?" Lu Sheng asked in surprise.
Shangyang Jiuli nodded.
"I got married more than 60 years ago."
With the constraints of a family, she could no longer be as free as before. Lu Sheng did not waste any more time trying to persuade her.
"If that's the case, help me maintain the research society's development." With a wave of his hand, a water droplet turned into a faint golden mark and imprinted itself on the back of Shangyang Jiuli's hand.
"We'll meet again. Don't worry." As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly disappeared from his seat.
Shangyang Jiuli looked at the water droplet-shaped mark on the back of her hand. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
…
…
Great Yin, Feiliu River.
Li Shunxi stood silently on a small boat. He wore a long grayish-white robe and stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky.
The night breeze blew past, causing his beard, which hung down to his chest, to sway slightly.
"The night breeze and autumn dew are pleasant, but the chill is colder …" He sighed, and picked up an intelligence report from Great Song's Three Sacred Gates.
"Great Song's Three Sacred Gates … Big Brother Lu Sheng …" A mysterious organization called the Anomaly Research Society had suddenly risen, and its leader's name was Lu Sheng.
This allowed Li Shunxi, who had been sending people to search for Lu Sheng's whereabouts, to quickly find out. He also sent people to examine the portrait.
And the portrait was exactly as Li Shunxi had expected. It was Lu Sheng, who had disappeared for more than a hundred years.
More than thirty years ago, after his teacher's immortal disappearance, Li Shunxi took over the management of one of the Three Sacred Gates.
With his current strength, he was indeed qualified to lead the entire Sacred Gate. Apart from being a little indecisive, his branch of the Three Sacred Gates had developed much faster than the other two branches while he was leading the Sacred Gate.
In a short 20 years, the Three Sacred Gates of Great Yin were basically under his sole control. The other two Sacred Kings had lost their right to speak long ago.
The Three Sacred Gates had also changed from a semi-hidden state to a powerful organization that had close ties with Great Yin.
After the Great Tribulation, Great Yin was reborn from the ashes. The new royal family was able to smoothly ascend the throne because of Li Shunxi's full support.
However, life was getting more and more boring.
