I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2079 Destruction, Rebirth

More than half a month had passed since the war. Liu Jun was resting in his bedroom when he suddenly felt uneasy, so he got up and went to the city wall.

The night wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Liu Jun stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, but his heart was restless. Although the war was over, the shadow of war still loomed in his heart, as if it could break out again at any time.

To his surprise, he saw a familiar figure, it was the white-haired Wu Rendi.

Wu Rendi stood at the other end of the city wall, with his back to him, as if staring into the darkness in the distance. Liu Jun's heart moved. This senior had always been elusive, and he didn't expect to meet him here tonight.

"What's wrong? Insomnia?" Wu Rendi spoke first, his voice low and hoarse, as if coming from far away.

"Senior Wu Rendi, I can't sleep." Liu Jun was a little surprised that Wu Rendi actually spoke to him first. He thought Wu Rendi would ignore him or make some sarcastic remarks as usual.

"Well, if I were you, so weak, I couldn't sleep either." Wu Rendi said without turning his head, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his tone.

"Sure enough, it's the familiar taste." Liu Jun's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to push Wu Rendi down the city wall.

He knew that Wu Rendi's strength was unfathomable and he was no match for him. Even if he really pushed, with Wu Rendi's strength, he would most likely not fall down and could even be used as a brick to plug the wall.

"I know you want to push me down, but unfortunately you don't have the strength to do so." Wu Rendi continued, as if he saw through Liu Jun's thoughts.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and turned to leave. He felt that he would be angry to death if he stayed any longer. He didn't want to continue to tangle with Wu Rendi. This senior always made him feel powerless and angry with just a few words.

"Wait." Wu Rendi suddenly spoke, with a rare seriousness in his voice.

Liu Jun stopped and looked back at Wu Rendi, feeling somewhat puzzled. Wu Rendi turned around and looked directly at him, his eyes flashing with a complex light.

"Time is running out, and you don't have much time left. You are like a big ship now. All those who want to help you are standing on the same boat with you. If you sink, they will drown," Wu Rendi said slowly, with a hint of heaviness in his tone.

Liu Jun's heart trembled. This was the first time he heard Wu Rendi say so many words at once. He also knew that Wu Rendi would never speak without a purpose.

"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Liu Jun asked with a frown.

Wu Rendi did not answer directly, but looked up at the night sky, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, Wu Rendi whispered, "The world is changing. A powerful force that you can't imagine is surging in secret. Your current strength is far from enough and too small."

Liu Jun clenched his fists, feeling unwilling and angry. He knew he was not strong enough, but he kept trying and never gave up. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Senior, what should I do?"

Wu Rendi turned around, his eyes calm. "Become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you survive this storm and live with all the people who care about you."

"I want to become stronger, but I don't know how." Liu Jun whispered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty ruins, sounding particularly lonely.

There was a hint of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes, and the power of destruction in his hands trembled slightly at his fingertips, as if responding to the fluctuations in his heart.

Ever since the last time the Law of Destruction merged with the power of the Ancestral Dragon, the power of the Netherworld, and the power of the Dragon King's Heart, it has become extremely uncontrollable.

Although his realm was improving as fast as a rocket, in just a few years, he became a powerful late-stage master god. However, at this point, he felt unprecedented confusion. Although the power of the law of destruction was strong, he could not fully control it, and sometimes even felt that this power was backfiring on him.

Just as he was lost in thought, Wu Rendi's voice rang in his ears: "Follow the rules, understand the rules, and use the rules."

Liu Jun looked up suddenly and saw Wu Rendi's stern face, with an unfathomable chill in his eyes.

He glanced at Liu Jun, as if seeing through his inner confusion, and said slowly: "The Law of Destruction is different from other laws. It is not only a symbol of power, but also a manifestation of will. What you have to do is not to control it, but to understand it and become one with it."

Liu Jun frowned, somewhat puzzled: "But, the power of the Law of Destruction is too violent, how can I merge with it? After merging into one, will I be affected by the power of the Law of Destruction and become another person?" Wu Rendi did not answer directly, but continued: "It's like a gamble. If you win, you will soar to the sky, but if you lose, you will have nothing. When you choose it, it is also choosing you"

Liu Jun nodded thoughtfully, and was about to ask something else when Wu Rendi's figure disappeared into the air, as if he had never appeared.

"Follow the rules, understand the rules, use the rules...a gamble?..." Liu Jun murmured in a low voice, Wu Rendi's words echoing in his mind.

He closed his eyes and felt the violent destructive force in his body. In the past, he always tried to suppress this force, fearing that it would get out of control. But now, he decided to try a different approach - to understand it, to feel its essence.

As his consciousness gradually deepened, the destructive force was no longer as violent as before, but became gentler. Liu Jun felt that this force seemed to be communicating with his consciousness, as if telling him something.

"Destruction is not the end, but the beginning of a new life..." A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Liu Jun's mind, as if he had grasped some key.

He opened his eyes, his gaze showing a hint of determination. He finally understood what Wu Rendi meant - the law of destruction was not simply destruction, but a cycle of power. After destruction, there must be rebirth, and after rebirth, there will be new destruction. This is an eternal cycle, and he is a part of this cycle.

"I understand..." Liu Jun whispered, and the destructive force in his hand was no longer violent, but became gentle and orderly. He felt that the connection between him and this force became closer, as if it had become a part of his body.

At this moment, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the distant sky. Liu Jun looked up and saw a huge black crack slowly splitting in the sky, as if something was about to fall from the crack.

"It seems that a new challenge has come." Liu Jun's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had found the direction to move forward. Next, he would use the power of destruction to meet the new challenge.

He walked towards the crack in the sky, as if he was walking on invisible steps. Every step he took was accompanied by firm belief and powerful strength. He knew that he was no longer the confused Liu Jun, but a strong man who truly controlled the law of destruction.

Liu Jun's figure gradually dissipated in the crack, as if swallowed by endless darkness. His voice was low and firm, with a hint of determination: "Destruction is just the beginning." This sentence echoed in the air, as if foreshadowing an irreversible fate.

When he completely disappeared into the crack, the world around him seemed to fall into a brief silence. A faint light flickered at the edge of the crack, like the call of some unknown force. Liu Jun's eyes were blurred, and his body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, crossing the boundary of time and space.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world. The sky here was a deep purple, with no sun or moon, only countless twinkling stars dotted in the sky. The ground was black, as if covered by endless darkness, with a few faint lights occasionally shining through from underground, like the pulse of some kind of life.

There was a strange breath in the air, both strange and familiar, as if this world had some mysterious connection with him. Liu Jun felt his heartbeat speed up and his blood rushing in his body, as if he was awakened by the power of this world.

He looked around and found that this world was completely different from what he knew. There were no mountains or rivers, no flowers or trees, only countless strange buildings and structures, like the remains of some high-tech civilization. These buildings were irregular in shape, with a metallic luster on the surface, as if telling the story of an ancient civilization that once flourished and declined here.

Liu Jun took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to respond to his steps, vibrating slightly.

He felt an invisible force guiding him, as if the world was waiting for his arrival. His heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, as well as a hint of uneasiness. He didn't know what this world was like, and why he felt so at home.

As he went deeper into this world, the surrounding scene gradually became clearer. He found that this world was not completely dead. Occasionally, a few figures passed by him at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to catch them. These figures seemed to be some kind of creatures, but they were different from any life form he was familiar with. Their existence seemed to be integrated with this world, like the guardian or inhabitant of this world.

Liu Jun continued to move forward, his heart full of desire to explore. He knew that this world was hiding countless secrets, and he was attracted by these secrets.

The words kept echoing in his mind: "Destruction is just the beginning." He realized that he might be standing at the starting point of a brand new destiny, and this world is the turning point of his destiny.

As he went deeper, Liu Jun felt his power growing stronger, as if the world was giving him some special ability. His vision became wider, his perception became sharper, and he could even feel the energy flowing in the surrounding space. He realized that he was not just an ordinary passer-by in this world, but a key existence.

Finally, Liu Jun stood in front of a huge building. The building was soaring into the sky, and its surface was covered with complex patterns, like some kind of ancient runes. The top of the building was shining with dazzling light, as if calling him. Liu Jun took a deep breath and walked into the building, his heart full of expectation and trepidation.

As soon as he entered the building, Liu Jun was stunned. His steps stopped involuntarily, and his eyes were firmly attracted by the scene in front of him.

The hall was spacious and bright, with a high dome that seemed to reach the sky. The walls were inlaid with ancient murals, depicting some mysterious symbols and patterns he had never seen before. However, what shocked him the most was the huge statue standing in the center of the hall.

The statue is several meters tall and is so lifelike that every detail seems to tell a story. Its face, posture, and even the folds of its clothes are exactly the same as his.
