I am the one running the game

Chapter 498: Closed Island, Hundred Years of Restraint Expiration

Lu Xingshi once again set foot on the closed land. This time he came to take away the two most precious Shinto treasures, the List of Gods and the Divine Whip.

One day outside is one year inside the closed area, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect there would be someone so long-lived." Lu Xingshi said softly.

When an old woman heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes, and memories came flooding back like a tide, and she recognized Lu Xingshi.

They should have been subordinate gods revered by everyone, but after Lu Xingshi arrived last time, the Yin-Yang Emperor died and they became mortals.

She should have been beautiful, but now she has become old and frail.

"My beauty is getting old. Although I don't know who you are, I am here to see you off." Lu Xingshi didn't care about the other person's look because she was going to die.

Fortunately, he did not die of illness, but of old age.

Now she is the only one left in this closed place.

"Why did you want to kill the emperor back then?" The old woman seemed to have used up all her strength to question Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to ask this question. He thought he would ask him to save his life.

"How should I put it? It's just that our positions are different." Lu Xingshi said, touching his chin.

It’s not that Lu Xingshi is a bad person, but the benefits are too great, so he has to take action.

"But it doesn't matter, it's in the past."

"Besides, you are still living well without him, right?" Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

When the old woman heard this, her eyes became even darker.

In the hundred years since she entered this closed place, she has seen all kinds of bloody and cruel things. There is no so-called unity, only fighting for power and profit, all for the sake of being able to grasp this power.

Now thinking about it again, these things seem like a ridiculous joke in the eyes of this mysterious man who is high above me.

In his eyes, the thing they were fighting for was nothing more than a toy.

"Yes, that's true." The old woman choked up and said, she could feel her life slipping away, and the feeling of waiting to die was not pleasant.

"You are here to take away the List of Gods and the Divine Whip." The old woman turned and looked at Lu Xingshi.

They knew about the existence of these two Shinto treasures, and every year there were people who wanted to obtain these two treasures. It was a pity that it was Lu Xingshi who built the closed area and had already done the security work.

After all, these two Shinto treasures are the core of the closed place. If they are really taken away by them, Lu Xingshi’s skills will become a joke.

However, even until the last moment, they did not give up the idea of ​​obtaining these two Shinto treasures.

The reason is simple, they are aging, their youth is gone, how can they accept the changes in themselves?

They were originally gods, with eternal youth and power. Later, they lost their eternal youth and power, so they could only pursue power.

However, the two Shinto treasures, the List of Gods and the Divine Whip, that Xu Yi left behind as the core of the closed place have the powerful ability to restore their strength and beauty, and can also maintain their power. Naturally, some people will covet them.

"Yes, but you are not dead yet, so I can't take it."

"The Emperor of Yin and Yang and I have an agreement that I can take these two divine treasures only after you are all dead." Lu Xingshi said frankly and had no intention of hiding it.

What it secretly means is waiting for you to die.

Similarly, the old woman also realized that she would not live long.

Otherwise, why would Lu Xingshi be waiting here to take away these two Shinto treasures.

"May I ask, will I be able to see the Emperor again after I die?" The old woman suddenly asked this question.

"Maybe, I have never died." Lu Xingshi was not sure.

Since the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds, the reincarnation system of the underworld has completely collapsed, so there is no reincarnation after death, but only dissipation. Originally there was a chance to become a ghost, but since Lu Xingshi came, he directly banned the operation of the underlying programs for transforming into ghosts and spirits.

So once dead, you are dead, there is no follow-up.

However, since the other party asked this question, Lu Xingshi had never really died in this fairy world, so he didn't know the real situation, only the data on paper.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"I would like to ask you for a favor. Please collect the bodies of all the sisters."

"We live together and die together."

"Lest the Emperor fail to find us." The old woman pleaded.

Lu Xingshi smiled and said, "No problem. I have a professional bear officer to handle this matter."

Although he really wanted to complain that you two were so cruel, you can still be sisters.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to deal with this matter. Wangcai can solve this problem. After becoming stronger, he is becoming more and more adept at handling funeral activities.

As for Zhu Yan, he now seems to be using martial arts to achieve enlightenment. Every day he is either practicing martial arts or in seclusion.

It is the real ascetic monk. People like Lu Xingshi who rely on cheats cannot match the other party's hard work.

It’s a pity that it’s still not good enough without cheating.

The old woman didn't understand why he had to be a professional bear guard, but since Lu Xingshi had agreed, she felt relieved. She didn't worry that Lu Xingshi would break his promise. If he really wanted to break the contract, why would he wait a hundred years to take away the two Shinto treasures left by Xu Yi? He should have done it after Xu Yi died.

Of course, even if Lu Xingshi broke his promise, she didn't really care. The person was already dead, so how could she care about these things? Even if she wanted to stand up and scold Lu Xingshi for breaking his promise, she couldn't do it.

"I wish I could go back to the past..." The old woman looked towards the sky. The seal formed by the two Shinto treasures blocked her sight. She had not seen the starry sky for a hundred years.

But before he could finish his words, the last ray of life disappeared.

Lu Xingshi looked at the dying old woman and shook his head: "Flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again."

"Of course it was better back then. I also want to go back. What a pity." Lu Xingshi waved his hand and Wangcai was picked up by him.

After telling Wangcai the other party's requirements, Wangcai happily went to work.

Over the years, Wangcai's business volume has declined significantly, mainly because the crime rate and death rate in Yan State have dropped significantly, the order has been improved, and the development of science and technology, humanities and cheats have led to fewer deaths.

In the Dharma Ending Age, the average life expectancy was 34 years. Now it is different. The average life expectancy is endless and there is even resurrection.

Wangcai is almost showing signs of melancholy.

Until it came to the fairy world, Wangcai had so many funeral businesses that it was so happy that its teeth were brimming with joy.

The funeral technology, which had been stagnant, has once again reached new heights.

Lu Xingshi let it finish its work and go back on its own. With the existence of the bloodline, Wangcai's progress did not fall behind, but instead improved along with the improvement of the entire world.

Afterwards, Lu Xingshi's attention fell on two Shinto treasures.

Although a hundred years had not really passed in the outside world, such a long time had indeed passed in the closed area. This was all real passage of time, so the two originally damaged Shinto treasures were naturally repaired.

After it was taken down, the restrictions on the forbidden area were directly broken.

When the isolation between inside and outside disappeared, the sea breeze blew in, and the rich forbidden land seemed out of place.

"The attributes are good." Lu Xingshi looked at the attributes of the List of Gods and the Divine Whip.

"It just doesn't seem to match me."

Lu Xingshi frowned. It was not that he didn't want them, but these two things were indeed not suitable for him.

"Just fuse it with the Demon Summoning Banner and turn it into a companion spirit treasure."

It has good properties, but does not have enough growth potential. Instead, it is better to use it as a material to strengthen the Demon Summoning Banner.

There are so many magic weapons, but they can't be used anyway, so it's better to melt them and turn them into BUFFs.

Between using the power of a magic weapon and possessing the power of a magic weapon himself, Lu Xingshi naturally chose the latter.

The Demon Summoning Banner and his Demon Saint Magical Power complement each other. This companion spiritual treasure is similar to a living passive skill. As long as it exists, Lu Xingshi can make the Demon Saint Magical Power undergo a qualitative change.

As for further integrating the Demon-Summoning Banner, he had also thought about making it into a Taoist fruit.

In principle, it can work. After all, even the five turbidities and evil worlds can be made into Taoist fruits, so a mere demon-summoning flag will naturally be no problem.

It’s just that Lu Xingshi really doesn’t have time, so it has to be postponed.

There is also a divine calamity on top that needs to be made into a Dao fruit before he can start.

...

In the Qianyuan Realm, Yuanshi Tianwang, one of the Four Saints, was sitting in the Golden Palace practicing, but suddenly he opened his eyes with a puzzled look on his face.

"A warning from heaven?"

"What kind of thing in this world can pose a threat to me?"

"But why was it that only I was warned, while the other three saints were not?"

As a saint, the other three were the three corpses he had beheaded and were under his control. However, it was a bit strange that he was the only one who gave this warning.

"Could it be that there was a problem with Gao Wu's magic test?" Yuanshi Tianwang locked onto the target immediately.

The devil's test is not an easy thing. Perhaps the opportunity for a devil's test will only appear once in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

Therefore, this quota was very precious, so he gave it to his most valued disciple Gao Wu. Gao Wu was born in the Golden Crow family and was protected by the Great Sun True Fire since birth. He had first-class qualifications.

"It shouldn't be. If there was a problem with his magic test, it shouldn't be a warning."

A warning means that something bad has happened.

However, Yuanshi Tianwang overlooked one thing, that is, as the main body, certain major warnings would definitely only alert him alone, and not notify the three corpses he had beheaded. After all, they were just existences similar to incarnations.

It would be enough to notify one person, why would it be necessary to go through the trouble of notifying the three corpses as well?

"Since it's not Gao Wu, then maybe it's a calamity?"

"This Heavenly Dao really spares no effort in eradicating cultivators like us, huh." Yuanshi Tianwang snorted coldly.

Those who follow the will of heaven will perish, those who go against the will of heaven will become immortal, and fighting for the truth is the general trend of the world that he has set.

Of course, he used the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao also used the cultivators, weakening one while supporting the other. The opposition between Yuanshi Tianwang and the Heavenly Dao was not simple, but rather they were both enemies and friends. No one could do without the other, but at the same time they both wanted to control the other.
