When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 374 The World of Pure Spirit

"Ninth Brother, it's been almost a year since we came out. In this year, we've passed through at least five or eight hundred worlds, big and small."

Why haven't we discovered a cosmic-scale world like the Proterozoic Eon?

As Zhu Chongjiu looked at the corpses of some unknown creature scattered all over the ground, he answered the question Xiao Feng had just asked him.

"Do you think that cosmic-scale worlds are so easy to form?"

Besides, how do you know that all or part of these small worlds we've passed through aren't enclosed in a universe-level world?

Everything we see today is due to our perspective, and may not necessarily be the truth.

"Alright, Ninth Brother, don't talk about this with Xiao Feng anymore."

Even now, when I talk about the path of cultivation, I feel completely overwhelmed.

Back when I was a naked doll, all I knew was to eat, to eat a lot, to eat like crazy. I thought that if I could devour all the elements in the world, I could become powerful.

But now, if I rely solely on the power of the Devouring Law, even if I were given another hundred million years, my strength wouldn't increase much.

Why does it seem like the stronger I get, the less I know how to cultivate?

There are some things that are becoming increasingly unclear and incomprehensible.

Having just returned from the battlefield, Xiao Jin, after overhearing Zhu Chongjiu and Xiao Feng's conversation, grumbled on and on.

Seeing that the little ones had already cleaned up all the unknown evil creatures in this world, Zhu Chongjiu continued what he had just said to Xiaofeng.

What Xiao Jin said is exactly what he just told Xiao Feng: the issue of perspective.

It's like when you're in first grade, you only learn addition and subtraction.

But as you grow older and accumulate knowledge, you will have to learn multiplication and division, advanced math, equations, and so on...!

However, when you look back, the essence of these things is derived from addition and subtraction, level by level.

Because it is based on great difficulty, the things that follow are even more difficult.

There's an old saying in my hometown, "Learning has no end," which is pretty much the idea behind it.

Besides, what's there to be afraid of? We have endless lifespans.

You could even say that as long as we don't commit suicide or get killed by others, we can live forever.

"In such a long period of time, if you're just trying to survive, are you sure you can make it?"

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu ignored the little ones and strode forward toward the teleportation portal to the next world.

"Ninth Brother is right. If I'm just left to live a simple life in endless time, I'll go crazy sooner or later."

"Ninth Brother! Wait for me!" the children said in unison.

A flash of white light appeared, and Zhu Chongjiu and his companions suddenly materialized in the scene.

"Release the arrows...!"

No, wait a minute, wait a minute...!

"Damn it, it's too late...!"

Three loud voices reached everyone's ears the moment Zhu Chongjiu and the little ones arrived in this world.

At the same time, along with these three voices came a rain of black arrows that blotted out the sky.

"I'm going. I haven't seen this kind of ancient greeting gift in a long time," Xiao Jin said, casually waving out a golden light screen.

The clanging sounds were the black arrows striking the golden light screen displayed by Xiao Jinshi.

But something surprising happened.

Because when the black arrow hits Xiao Jin's light screen, a stream of black liquid will flow from the black arrow onto the light screen.

The moment the black liquid came into contact with the light screen, a hissing sound rang out, accompanied by a faint wisp of black smoke.

"I went there, and my protective golden aura is being corroded?"

It should be noted that, judging from the aura, the opponent's strength is comparable to that of a monarch.

In the Proterozoic Era, even if Little Gold stood still and let a Monarch-level being die from exhaustion, not a single spark would rise from Little Gold's body.

This was even without Xiao Jin activating his protective golden light.

However, the situation before them was far beyond what they had ever seen.

"Little Jin, if you don't increase your spiritual power output, your protective golden aura will soon be corroded away," Xiao Mu reminded him from the side.

"You're kidding me...!"

"Do you really think my protective golden light is made of clay?" With that, Xiao Jin withdrew its protective golden light, while its aura instantly expanded outward.

His aura of supreme power spread out in an instant, regardless of whether the arrows were flying towards him or the person who fired them.

Under Xiao Jin's supreme aura, they were all blown about and became unsteady.

Of course, this is also because Xiao Jin did not unleash his full power, since Zhu Chongjiu had already given instructions beforehand.

Killing must be done only if it is possible and necessary.

Otherwise, how could there be any survivors on the other side now?

I just released the protective golden light on a whim, but I never expected to embarrass myself like this!

Zhu Chongjiu picked up an arrow from a distance, glanced at it, and laughed, "No wonder he can live alongside such creatures and still survive."

If you can't beat them with force, use magic; if you can't beat them with magic, use mental power; if you can't beat them with mental power, use poison.

Anyway, we can't just wait to die.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly said to the few little ones who were confronting the people of this world, "Let's rest here for a day."

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu flashed to the person who had just made the three sounds.

Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu, who had somehow appeared before him, the kind-looking man suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"I was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

"That was just a misunderstanding! I thought it was a spirit-devouring beast from the other world attacking, so...!"

"It's alright."

After interrupting the man, Zhu Chongjiu asked, "What's your name?"

Tell me about your world, and also... why do you call me "God"?

"My name is Daozhen!"

He is one of the patriarchs of the three major races in this world.

Our clan is called the "Tao Clan".

Our world is called "Qingling Tianxia"

The chief of the remaining two major clans, the "Yuan Clan," is called "Yuan Lai," and the chief of the "Shu Clan" is called "Shu Zhi."

As for addressing you as "God," it comes from a story passed down from our ancestors.

The story goes that tens of millions of years after the formation of the Pure Spirit World, the first generation of ancestors mastered supreme magic, but as time went by, they made no further progress.

Therefore, these first ancestors left this world through the window of the Pure Spirit World to seek more advanced techniques.

My colleague, before our ancestor passed away, left us a saying.

One day in the future, I will surely attain the qualities of a "divine being" and return to the Pure Land.

Therefore, the one you have been waiting for must be one of those ancestors who went out to search for supreme magical arts.

The clan leader, named Daozhen, quickly and concisely explained the question Zhu Chongjiu had asked.

"So, you consider me your ancestor and call me God?" Zhu Chongjiu asked again.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Daozhen replied respectfully.

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the honest and kind-hearted man, Daozhen, kneeling before him, and then glanced at the tens of thousands of soldiers kneeling alongside Daozhen. He then spoke slowly:

"Get up, all of you. I have already wiped out all the spirit-devouring beasts you mentioned."

I'm just taking a casual stroll here; I'll be leaving soon.

After leaving behind only these two simple sentences, Zhu Chongjiu and the few children disappeared.

After leaving behind only the questioning voices of the crowd, cheers erupted once more.

"What? The deity just said that all the Soul-Devouring Beasts in the other world have been wiped out?"

Am I right?

"The chieftain is so kind! We'll never have to live in fear again...!"

As the Daozhen Clan Chief was leading his people in cheers, Xiao Hei, who rarely spoke, spoke to Zhu Chongjiu among his group who were traveling freely in this world.

“Ninth Brother, in the past year, we have passed through so many small worlds, but only the people in this world have a bloodline that is highly similar to yours.”

Is this also why you chose to stay in this world for one more day?
