Chapter 224 - Savior Or Captor?
What!
Upon hearing that name, even the always calm and composed Ling Chen was shocked and dumbfounded as he abruptly stood up.
The Great Luo Martial God!
How could he not be surprised?
It's been more than a hundred thousand years since the legendary Great Luo Martial God had disappeared along with the dragons and the other legendary Divine Beasts, many presumed he's dead while others believed that he had left this world to travel the universe.
Yet, according to the Sun Demi-God, not only the Great Luo Martial God didn't die, but he was still living somewhere in this world for the past hundred thousand years.
So, how could Ling Chen not be shocked upon hearing that?
What was even more shocking, he was also the person that has been spying on him like a tiger stalking its prey. This news was simply too shocking.
Seeing the expression on Ling Chen's face, The Sun Demi-God seemed to be pleased. The little devil always appeared to be aloof as though nothing could shock him. It's nice to see that dumbfounded expression on his face.
As if she did that on purpose, while Ling Chen was still trying to process the pieces of information he had just received, she suddenly dropped a bomb that was even more shocking than the previous one.
"Not only the Great Luo Martial God is still alive and kicking, but he had also turned this entire world into his own personal farm or cropland."
"The main reason he had saved the humans from the oppression of the demon beasts as well as developed the human civilization wasn't out of goodwill, but because he wanted to fatten them up so he could harvest them later."
"Compared to the demon beasts, the humans' rate of reproduction was hundred and even a thousand times faster which was why he favored them and chose over the demon beasts."
"And from what we know, The Great Luo Martial God isn't actually a human at all."
At this moment, Ling Chen was beyond shocked. His mind was sent reeling, unable to comprehend, or process these pieces of information he's just received. His brain formulated no thoughts other than to register that he was shocked.
Even though he was staring at the Sun Demi-God, he appeared not to notice her at all as his mind went blank.
One had to understand, almost every single human being living in this world considered the Great Luo Martial God as the savior and also the patron of the human race, including him.
Before the appearance of the Great Luo Martial God, human civilization was considered to be still in its primitive stage. However, after his appearance, Humans have developed by leaps and bound.
One could even say that he single-handedly shaped the human civilization in this world. He had introduced Martial Arts, Battle Technique, Alchemy, Architecture, and even Literature to the human living in the world at that time.
He was the main reason why human civilization is what it is today in the Great Luo World. For god sake, the people revered him so much for his contributions that they even let him named the world after himself.
Yet, according to the Sun Demi-God, the so-called hero and savior of the human race was actually a blood-sucking fiend. And the reason he did all that for the human race wasn't that he liked them but to fatten them up and harvest them later like pigs.
This was quite unbelievable, shocking really.
After processing all these shattering pieces of information, Ling Chen was silent for a while, and then he finally asked." What about the Great Luo Martial God's Tomb? What is it and why do you guys want to enter it that badly?"
"The Great Luo Martial God's Tomb isn't actually a tomb. We call it that way because almost all the previous Demi-God rank experts in the past lost their lives and buried there as well." Answered the Sun Demi-God.
"The Great Luo Martial God's Tomb is actually a divine treasure in the form of a giant spaceship or a boat. From what we could tell, the Great Luo Martial God was able to come to this world because of it." She added with a longing expression on her face.
Upon hearing the Sun Demi-God's answer, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly brighten as he suddenly said." So, the reason you guys want to enter the so-called Great Luo Martial God's Tomb so bad despite the great danger is because you guys want to control it in order to leave this world."
After hearing Ling Chen's claim, the Sun Demi-God didn't deny it as she answered." Yes and no. Although we want to control it to leave this world, it's simply too hard to do it and we are too weak."
"I am sure you already know there since the Great Luo Martial God, there's never been another Martial God in the Great Luo World. In fact, this world has never given birth to a Martial God and there are two reasons for that. One is that the world's laws aren't complete and the other reason is the Great Luo Martial God himself."
"Because he's trying to swallow the Heavenly Dao or the World's will, he has sealed the entire world which prevented it from absorbing the energy from the void in order to strengthen itself and complete its laws."
"As such, while the world is getting weaker and dying, the Great Luo Martial God is getting stronger."
"And the main reason we want to enter the so-called Great Luo Martial God's Tomb that badly is because there's something called Dao Law Seeds inside. With it, we can still break through the legendary Martial God, extend our lifespans, and even leave this world before it completely dies and is swallowed by the Great Luo Martial God." Explained the Sun Demi-God.
Ling Chen was even more shocked after hearing Sun Demi-God's explanation. In fact, he has never been this shock in his entire life.
After a long silence, Ling Chen regained his calm again as he coldly asked." I know that you guys have been plotting something against me. What is it?"
The Sun Demi-God's expression suddenly changed upon hearing Ling Chen's question. This was the question she was afraid the most. Nonetheless, she steeled her heart as she gravely said." I am sorry but can't tell you that."
Swoosh!
Before her voice could even fade away, a terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted forth from Ling Chen's body like a tidal wave and enveloped the Sun Demi-God's body.
Despite the ambient temperature, The Sun Demi-God felt her entire body turned cold as a cold and icy feeling spread through her body like an icy liquid metal.
Her breathing became erratic, deep, then shallow. Her mind was starting to fail, like an engine that turned over and over, never kicking into action. She couldn't formulate a thought. She could feel the breath of death all around her, touching her skin.
Seeing this, the Sun Demi-God didn't dare to waste any time as she mustered all her remaining strength and quickly explained." It's not that I don't want to tell you but I can't. If I do, my elemental nascent soul would immediately explode and I'll die due to a Heavenly Oath we all took."
"And even if you were to forcefully read my memories, my elemental nascent soul would still explode as well before you can get anything. It's the main reason that I told you all I know because once you try to forcefully read my mind, my elemental nascent soul would immediately explode." Explained the Sun Demi-God with a pleading expression on her face.
