I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 633 When did you start to have the illusion that I would let you go?

After temporarily turning Shao Lin into a vegetable at the soul level, Lu Wenwu sealed his five external senses and stuffed him into the Dragon Mansion Small World.

The Dragon Mansion does have prisons, but Lu Wenwu has never had the chance to use them.

It's perfect to use it to imprison Shao Lin now.

This is something I promised to bring back; there absolutely can't be any problems.

After Lu Wenwu's campaign of slaying demons and monsters, only one in ten human experts remained in the Crimson Sky Holy City, leaving only a handful of minor figures.

In order to ensure that Ancestor Burning Heaven could break through safely, almost all the remaining powerful figures from the various cities of the human race had gathered here, except for the basic defensive forces.

Heroes from all walks of life gathered here for this grand event.

Then Lu Wenwu wiped them all out.

After a thorough sweep, it can be said that not only were the high-level combat forces in the Crimson Sky Holy City depleted.

Half of the high-level combat power of the entire human race has been depleted.

This does not mean that the remaining half of the population is safe.

Having read other people's memories, Lu Wenwu knew very well that the participants in the Western Border breeding project were numerous and far-reaching, and could be described as a matter that could affect the whole situation.

If all the remaining high-ranking human warriors were killed, it must mean there were wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice.

Even if you kill every other one, there will inevitably be some who slip through the net.

The reason why Lu Wenwu can stand here calmly, or at least appear calm, is because he needs to deal with the biggest scourge of the human race first.

Ancestor Burning Heaven!

Lu Wenwu twisted his neck and turned around.

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face stood quietly at the entrance of the courtyard, a faint smile on his face.

Who else could it be but the Burning Heaven Ancestor?
He was dressed in a black robe, with a palm-sized leather pouch hanging from the jade belt at his waist. He did not exude any aura of a powerful figure and looked like an ordinary old man.

She just looks a little younger.

Others might simply ignore it.

The aura emanating from the Burning Heaven Ancestor had reached a point of perfect harmony with heaven and earth, almost becoming a part of the natural way.

It will hardly attract any attention.

However, he is now facing Lu Wenwu.

Under the eye of true vision, nothing can hide.

The immense human destiny controlled by the Burning Heaven Ancestor was like a lighthouse in the darkness; nothing could be more dazzling.

At the same time, its own energy is closely integrated with the human race's fortune, almost to the point of being inseparable.

It is obvious that his breakthrough was not simply due to the blessing of his race's fortune.

Unlike Mao Mao, who uses pneumatics as an amplifier.

Ancestor Burning Heaven chose a breakthrough method that minimized the scope of freedom but maximized the benefits.

To merge oneself with the Tao.

Generally speaking, the objects that are integrated in this way are either laws or the Way of Heaven.

The racial rivalry on the ancient continent is the result of deliberate manipulation in the course of the world's operation, and the racial fortune has more of a "human-controlled" feel compared to normal fortune.

In a sense, the racial fortune controlled by each race is an alternative manifestation of the will of Heaven in this world.

Therefore, the Burning Heaven Ancestor's merging of his own destiny with that of the human race can be considered a roundabout way of achieving his goal.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to break through the boundaries of the world and ascend to immortality.

He is now inextricably linked to the world.

The stronger the Heavenly Dao, the stronger the feedback it will receive.

The upper limit of power depends on the power of the world itself.

Lu Wenwu was unaware of the reasons behind the Burning Heaven Ancestor's choice.

Perhaps his limited perspective led him to believe that there was no way forward and that maximizing his gains this time was the only way to profit.

Perhaps his own aptitude was insufficient to support him in entering the so-called divine realm, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure: lowering the threshold for breakthrough by merging his body with the Dao, thereby forcibly stepping into that level.

The two approaches to achieving breakthroughs are a matter of opinion.

From a purely prudent perspective, there's really nothing wrong with what the Burning Heaven Ancestor did.

It's just a personal choice made after weighing the pros and cons.

As a cold and ruthless decision-making machine, it was not surprising to Lu Wenwu that the Burning Heaven Ancestor would make such a choice.

At least he actually dared to do it himself.

This is far superior to those parasites who only talk the talk.

Lu Wenwu grinned, his pale golden eyes gleaming, as a torrent of data washed over his soul.

Information captured from higher dimensions is being continuously analyzed and summarized.

【Burning Heaven (Pseudo-Race God)】: 2399 billion / 2400 billion

[Cultivation Level]: Divine Realm
[Current Status]: Influenced by the will of humanity, protected by fortune, favored by the heavens, pseudo-Dao integration, incense and divine path, pseudo-fire concept control, fire law, law protection, abundant blood and qi, extremely calm.
[Analysis]: The ancestor of the human race on the ancient continent, the actual ruler and controller of the ancient human race, the oldest and most powerful cultivator in the human race, stepped into the divine realm and became a war god by taking the opportunity of merging with the Dao, and completed the cultivation method of the incense god in an alternative way, becoming a kind of racial god.

A false god with 240 billion HP
Lu Wenwu was genuinely surprised after seeing the data of the Burning Heaven Ancestor.

I was even a little depressed.

Is this the benefit that comes from aligning with the Dao?

That amount of health is almost equal to my total health.

However, this feeling of frustration only lasted for a moment.

Because Lu Wenwu knew that long after stepping into the realm of gods, health points had lost much of their practical significance and were difficult to use as data to assess a person's strength.

His 40 billion+ HP is the same as the 40 billion+ HP of the Burning Heaven Ancestor.
Their defense and recovery speed are on completely different levels, so there's no comparison.

Compared to this, what interests Lu Wenwu more is the entry called "Pseudo-Concept Control".

Since Mao Mao was already in seclusion striving to become a pseudo-immortal, this kind of person who overtakes others by taking shortcuts can barely be considered a figure in this field. Therefore, the master and pet had already received small-group instruction from Teacher Cat.

Why is there a pseudo-immortal realm above the third stage of godhood?

This is because even if one can ascend the ninety-nine steps of the Ascension Staircase, there is still a considerable distance to go before one can truly open the door to immortality.

And it's quite a distance.

Only by transcending the concept of laws, originating from laws yet surpassing them, and touching upon the level of "concepts," can one truly take the first step towards achieving immortality and eternity.

The existence of false immortals and false gods is based on this point.

Concepts are derived from a series of rules, which are then refined, abstracted, structured, and ultimately mastered.

Only when one has made initial contact with a certain materialized concept and is able to utilize it at a certain level can one be considered a pseudo-immortal.

It is also laying the foundation for becoming a true immortal and attaining immortality.

Only cultivators who have truly mastered a materialized concept are qualified to knock on the gates of the Immortal Realm and step into it.

The Burning Heaven Ancestor mastered the concept of "fire" by fusing with the fortune of his race and achieving godhood through an unconventional method of incense offerings. This was also the only law he cultivated and controlled.

In his cultivation methods, one can still vaguely see the shadow of the former Blazing Flame Battle Venerable.

Of course, there is more than one way to attain enlightenment; there are many ways to become an immortal or a god.

Mastering the concept is simply the most gradual and effective approach.

If someone could, like Lu Wenwu, break through magic with sheer brute force and fight to a draw with a pseudo-immortal who had mastered conceptual techniques, then it would be hard to say that he wasn't one.

After all, if you stubbornly say no, he might rush over and use his fists to persuade you to change your mind.

This is the true meaning of proving the Way through force.

If you can't beat them, then you're not one.

If you can beat them, then you are.

Don't worry about the method used.

With a diverse array of cultivation systems, is proving one's path to enlightenment such an inconvenient thing?
To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than a leap and transformation at the level of life.

Strength, supernatural abilities, and combat power are all byproducts.

Looking at the analysis provided by the Eye of True Sight, Lu Wenwu's smile became even brighter.

It's the excitement of encountering prey, the blood in your body gradually boiling, the rising fighting spirit of about to clash with a powerful foe!

"This old man, Fentian, greets fellow Daoist."

Ancestor Burning Heaven spoke with a smile, cupping his hands in front of him, displaying remarkable politeness.

"Fellow Daoist, I sense the aura of another human race clinging to you. You must have come from afar, from our ancestral land. As fellow human beings, may I ask your name? And what are your plans for the future?"

“You’re better than those anthropomorphic trash; you’re quite observant.” Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow. “My name is Lu Wenwu, and I can be considered to be from that place. Anyway, I beat up those trash from the Lieyan Tribe, and the Western Continent is now under my control.”

"Fellow Daoist Lu's divine might is unparalleled, and I deeply admire him," said Ancestor Burning Heaven with a smile. "Since we are both of the human race and have both entered the Divine Realm, why don't you join me on this journey? If we work together, our great undertaking can be accomplished!"

Lu Wenwu exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? I just killed so many of your men right in front of you. That's a public slap in the face, and you can tolerate that?"

The Burning Heaven Ancestor remained calm and composed, as if the dead had nothing to do with him: "If I am not mistaken, fellow Daoist must be dissatisfied with the lives of the people of the five cities in the Western Region being exchanged for the growth and advancement of the War Emperor and War Venerable, and has come here for revenge."

"Fellow Daoist, you disagree with my actions, yet you are both powerful experts in the Divine Realm. Your formidable strength is enough to support any reckless behavior. Although I am somewhat reluctant, I understand your perspective."

"Huh? You can understand that?"

Lu Wenwu was surprised and continued.

"What if I said I wanted to wipe out all the remaining human powerhouses involved in this matter? According to the memories I've read, after this purge, the human high-level forces would probably only be about 30% of their original strength. That would be a serious blow to your forces, wouldn't it?"

"If this action can dispel any misunderstandings you may have, then feel free to do it. I will simply observe from the sidelines."

"Old Ancestor Burning Heaven said calmly."

"They are just some insignificant juniors. As long as the human race still has you and me, it is not seriously damaged and we are still a top race."

At this point, Ancestor Burning Heaven paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

"If you still harbor hatred in your heart, I can let you beat me up in front of the human race of the ancestral land to vent your resentment and frustration. I will only protect myself and will not fight back."

".Awesome!"

This time, Lu Wenwu was genuinely surprised and gave him a thumbs up.

That's really awesome.

This was an answer he hadn't expected at all.

Damn it, is this really a cold and ruthless ruling machine?

They have absolutely no humanity; everything is driven by self-interest. They're even capable of making decisions like selling themselves out!

This old Deng is just as cold and ruthless as an AI that governs through information synthesis, comparable to the presidential decision-making core of the Superhuman Federation, which is composed of a matrix of human brains.

Does BYD really have no shame as a strongman?

Lu Wenwu felt that he had already been shameless enough.

I didn’t expect there to be experts.

That old bastard, the Burning Heaven Ancestor, is even more shameless than him.

He's willing to risk his reputation for personal gain.

Lu Wenwu suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the old man.

Although it's true that his actions of turning the five western cities into breeding farms were truly monstrous, it's not fair to simply insist that it had no effect.

In any case, this did accelerate the rapid growth and development of the human race's high-level power.

Unlike the beasts he had casually killed before.

If the profit is big enough, that old bastard Fentian is capable of not even sparing himself.

He's already gone this far, so Lu Wenwu really has nothing more to say.

This is unassailable; this is a true tyrant.

However, despite his admiration, he and the Burning Heaven Ancestor would ultimately have to fight to the death.

This does not mean that Lu Wenwu approves of his absolute profit-first ruling style.

After giving a speech at the tavern, Xiao Xi took the stage and, through a series of actions, enabled the D Will Empire to take off briefly. Even today, her powerful de-oiling campaign is still applauded and praised by many.

As a result, Xiao Xi's reputation and public image have drastically reversed from "a demon who should be tortured in hell forever" and "an executioner who started a massacre" to "going to heaven to become a judge angel."

Does this prove that swastika-ism and the practice of genocide and human experimentation are correct?
No, that won't work!
The correctness of some results cannot mask the essential flaws and errors.

What makes a person human is that they are born with seven emotions and six desires, and are bound by thoughts and morals.

If you abandon all emotions, entrust everything to rational decision-making, and turn everything into cold, ruthless data, can you still be considered human?

It's nothing more than a computer in human skin.

They are truly treating population as a resource and a number.

"I'd like to ask you a question: are you now the Burning Heaven Ancestor, or a collection of the will of the human race?" Lu Wenwu asked quietly.

"I am the Ancestor of Burning Heaven, there is no doubt about that."

Ancestor Burning Heaven readily agreed and extended another invitation.

"But it is undeniable that after stepping into the realm of gods, the fate of the human race has continued to influence me. I think this is a good thing, as it allows me to make decisions and weigh the pros and cons in a more rational way, and to cut off those base emotions that affect my judgment."

"I extend my sincere invitation to you once again. If the two of us join forces, we can go anywhere in the world. No race will be our match, and the human race will become the sole overlord of the ancient continent."

"If Fellow Daoist Lu has any other requests, please let us know and we can discuss them."

"Ha, your proposal is tempting, your pie-in-the-sky promises are enticing, but when did you get the idea that I would let you, the culprit, off the hook?"

Lu Wenwu chuckled, and jet-black infernal dragon flames rose from his body.

"I alone am enough to make humanity the dominant race!"

It's impossible for them to give up so easily.

This is a struggle over the Dao!
