Chapter 764: Peace

"The destruction of the main world..."

The Wu siblings exchanged a glance, and finally Wu Kun chuckled, "Sorry, I was just lying to you... I was really desperate and had no other choice but to ask you for help... Of course, we won't treat you unfairly. If you let us go, we'll reward you handsomely..."

"Trying to fool me?" Luo Jun chuckled. "You'd better think it over before you speak, otherwise you might find yourself unable to leave."

As he spoke, Luo Jun exuded a faint killing intent, which the four of them could clearly sense.

Luo Jun was certain that Wu Kun had not lied before. At that time, Wu Kun was in a very bad state and could not hide himself. When he shouted those words, his emotions were very sincere. Luo Jun believed that those words were absolutely true!
“But even if you really kill us, I really won’t be able to say anything.” Wu Kun spread his hands: “I was wrong to lie to you before, I can’t make the same mistake again.”

Seeing his stubbornness, Luo Jun smiled slightly and mentally summoned the dice.

"Get the truth out of them!"

"Ding! Event difficulty: 100 points; final score: 95 + 5 points; event successful!"

Having figured things out, Luo Jun snorted coldly, his killing intent intensifying: "What, you could speak just now to save your life, but you can't speak now? Think it through, if they can kill you, so can I!"

“This…” Wu Kun’s eyelids twitched.

"Besides, you're all from the main world, aren't you?" After the initial blow, Luo Jun offered a sweet treat: "I can see that although you're active in the [Martial World], you're not actually corrupted, and you still care about your homeland, right? If the main world is in trouble, wouldn't the more people who know, the more power there is to help resolve it?"

After hearing Luo Jun's words, Wu Kun hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Actually, quite the opposite."

"You're going to say something?" Luo Jun raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by 'exactly the opposite'?"

"Your idea of ​​'strength in numbers'..." Wu Kun shook his head: "Actually, the fewer people who know, the better."

"What's going on?" Luo Jun frowned.

"With your strength, you must have heard about the 120-year countdown, right?" Wu Kun asked tentatively.

Luo Jun nodded: "One hundred and twenty years from the opening of the first door, the true god will descend once more..."

Wu Kun nodded: "This countdown prophecy has troubled cultivators for many years, and there has never been a decisive clue. But we have discovered a hypothesis with a very high probability by chance."

"What hypothesis?" Luo Jun asked curiously.

“I can’t tell you the specifics, not even if you kill me,” Wu Kun said. “You just need to know that something will indeed descend, but the pace of its descent is linked to the people of the main world’s understanding of it. The more and more powerful people become aware of its existence, the faster its descent will be. The so-called 120 years is not an exact timeframe!”

"Is that so?!" Luo Jun frowned.

With the dice as collateral, Luo Jun believed he wasn't lying.

Moreover, the purpose of the dice is to find out the truth, not to ask for the truthful answer. The former refers to objective facts, while the latter refers to the respondent's subjective perception.

This means that what Wu Kun can say is the truth, while what he cannot say may be inaccurate speculation.

From this perspective, the "He" that is linked to this cognition should indeed exist.

"So how many people know about this now?" Luo Jun asked.

“There are only six of us…” Wu Kun replied.

"Six..." Luo Jun looked at the four of them: "Including Wu Kong, there are only five? The sixth one is..."

"Wu Yingjie!" Wu Yan answered him, the hot-tempered young man gritting his teeth, "That guy got the same information as us!"

"Wu Yingjie..." Luo Jun asked, "I've wanted to ask this for a long time, what exactly is the relationship between you Wu fellows? Are you from a powerful family? But I don't recall ever hearing of a cultivation family with the surname Wu..."

“We are not really a family,” Wu Feng said. “If I had to say, we would be of the same lineage and origin.”

“That’s true. If it’s really a family matter, Wu Yingjie is at least several decades older than you, making him at least an uncle or elder,” Luo Jun said. “And when you mention him, you always do so with hatred. Is there some grudge between you?”

"No comment!" Wu Run snorted coldly. Luo Jun had no interest in inquiring about the other person's family background, so he didn't dwell on the matter any longer: "So, what can the six of you do now that you know this news?"

“Not six, but five!” Wu Kun replied. “That guy Wu Yingjie has no intention of stopping 'His' arrival, so only the five of us are working on this.”

"Don't want to stop it?" Luo Jun was taken aback. "That's too easy. According to what you said, the progress of 'His' descent is linked to people's understanding. So as long as we spread the news everywhere and make it known to everyone, it might descend tomorrow!"

"He just doesn't want to stop it, that doesn't mean he wants it to arrive quickly." Wu Run said irritably, "That arrogant guy thinks he can fight against, or even seize 'His' power, and has been preparing for it. So he wants 'His' to arrive, but he doesn't want 'His' to arrive too early before the preparations are complete. Do you understand that?"

"Wait a minute..." Luo Jun realized, "You mean 'His' arrival can not only be delayed, but also prevented? How?"

When Luo Jun asked this question, he used a die again, and this time the goal was still to find out the truth.

However, the outcome is inevitable and cannot be determined.

“I can’t tell you,” Wu Kun said. “Knowing the organization’s methods is equivalent to recognizing 'His' existence. Right now, you only have a vague concept of 'His' and won’t be affected yet. But if you know the specific information about 'His,' it will inevitably accelerate 'His' arrival.”

“Although I don’t know what abilities you have, your performance is stronger than most ascension cultivators.” Wu Feng looked at Luo Jun: “If a being as powerful as you recognizes ‘He,’ your descent will definitely be greatly accelerated.”

So...

Luo Jun looked at the four of them and said, "Then I have one more question."

"You five siblings are indeed on the side of the main world, right?"

When he asked this question, Luo Jun activated the dice again.

Find out the truth! "Ding, event difficulty 5 points, final score 92 + 5 points, event a great success!"

Upon hearing his question, the four siblings exchanged glances and then nodded in unison: "Yes, we would never do anything harmful to the main world, and we can tell you that after successfully completing the plan, all five of us, including Wu Kong, will... perish."

Would you risk your life to prevent 'His' arrival?
This answer filled Luo Jun with deep respect.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions." Luo Jun nodded. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You're lucky you're not causing trouble," Wu Run said, pursing his lips. "If it weren't for you, we would have gotten our hands on the Eternal Star long ago."

"Oh right... Eternal Star!" Luo Jun slapped his forehead: "That thing is still locked up in the headquarters of Jubaolou!"

“The Eternal Star is a key part of our plan,” Wu Feng said. “But that God of Wealth is too powerful. We’ve tried many methods, but we still can’t steal anything from the Treasure Pavilion.”

"Even combining your powers didn't work?" Luo Jun asked in surprise, "Your combined power is almost on par with any Ascension Realm cultivator, yet you still couldn't handle that God of Wealth?"

“The God of Wealth might be the most powerful Ascended Being in the [Martial World],” Wu Kun said. “We don’t know where you stored the Eternal Star, and the Treasure Pavilion is a parallel space, making it extremely difficult to find. Moreover, our abilities are unstable, and our combined form is almost devoid of reason. Even with magic immunity, we can only guarantee not to be defeated by experienced Ascended Beings; trying to steal anything is still too risky. Furthermore, we need to operate in the [Martial World] for a while. If we offend the God of Wealth, our future travels in the [Martial World] will be fraught with difficulties.”

“Alright.” Luo Jun nodded. “In that case, I will take you back to the martial world and retrieve the Eternal Star.”

"You...you're really willing to help us?" Wu Run looked at Luo Jun, his eyes filled with surprise. "Aren't you afraid that what we just said was all a lie?"

"I believe you are not lying to me." Luo Jun looked at the group, his eyes full of sincerity: "If the disaster can really be stopped, I also hope to do my part for my hometown."

The four looked at Luo Jun with complicated expressions, but Luo Jun did not hesitate and turned around to open the Gate of Myriad Realms again in front of them.

This time, he used dice again, and the result was that the door should be opened in a hidden place in Qianzhou City.

"Ding! Event difficulty: 100 points; final score: 83 + 20 points; event successful!"

As the Gate to All Realms stabilized, the five of them crossed it together and arrived at a secluded alley.

"This place...it seems to be..." After stepping out of the alley, Wu Run looked around at the street scene in surprise, "Isn't this Qianzhou City?"

"What you just used should be a legendary-level portal to all worlds, right?" Wu Kun looked at Luo Jun. "That thing can only select the world to teleport to, and can't determine the specific location... How did you make it teleport directly to Qianzhou?"

"It's just luck, nothing more than luck." Luo Jun chuckled. "Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion."

The five arrived at the headquarters of Jubaolou. Although the Zhibaoge (Supreme Treasure Pavilion) appeared to be located within the headquarters from the outside, Luo Jun, who had previously stored and retrieved items there, knew that the so-called Zhibaoge was actually comprised of 999 parallel spaces, each containing a separate safe. To retrieve items, a pre-arranged token was needed to open the corresponding parallel space, followed by entering a password to open the treasure chest.

The safes are all made of black iron and enhanced with spiritual energy, making them virtually impossible to break by conventional means. Even if they could be broken, it would alert the God of Wealth, so both a token and a combination are indispensable to opening them.

Last time, when Luo Jun stored the Eternal Heart back in the Treasure Pavilion, the token he used was a low-grade treasure. This also allowed him to put the token into the Treasure Box and carry it with him.

They used the token to open the space, entered the password to open the treasure chest, and when Luo Jun took out the Eternal Star, the eyes of the four siblings lit up.

"After a year of hard work, I finally saw the real thing..." Wu Run felt like crying.

"Here, take it." Luo Jun handed the item to them. "Be very careful. Although I don't know how you intend to use it, this thing poses a significant potential threat. Keep it safe and don't let anyone with ulterior motives take it!"

"Don't worry, we know it better than you do!" Wu Yan said, taking out a small box from the treasure box, putting the Eternal Star inside, and then placing it back into the treasure box.

It seems to be a treasure that can contain things... Indeed, storing it in a treasure box is the safest option.

"I never expected it to turn out like this." Leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Wu Kun couldn't help but sigh, "Thank you so much, Brother Luo. There were so many misunderstandings before, and I even injured two of your helpers... Thinking about it now, I really feel ashamed..."

"Help?" Luo Jun immediately realized that Wu Kun was referring to Elontan and Gabriel, so he waved his hand and said, "It's alright, they are summoned creatures, they won't die."

"Summoned creatures?" Wu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "Peak-level summoned creatures, and more than one? Just who are you?"

"They're all just trivial tricks," Luo Jun said casually. Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "I'm a little glad I faced Ling Yao in the semifinals instead of you... otherwise I would have definitely been beaten even worse!"

“Even if there’s no real loss, we still want to express our gratitude.” Wu Kun opened the treasure box and took out an item: “Brother Luo used the Gate of Myriad Realms twice in a row this time, so it should be used up by now. This should be enough to compensate for your loss.”

Luo Jun took it and swept it with his Yuan Qi, his eyes immediately lighting up.

Name: Universal Charger (Multi-purpose)

Grade: Legendary

Description: This improved charger can charge all Legendary and lower-tier consumables while also self-charging for reuse. However, the maximum chargeable capacity is significantly reduced.
Function 1: Recharge: When activated, it can restore the number of uses of consumable Noble Phantasms.

Noble Phantasms that have been exhausted cannot be used, and the number of Noble Phantasms that can be used cannot be restored to the maximum number of uses.

There is no cooldown upon activation. Each use consumes 100 breaths of energy and restores one use opportunity.

Current count: 1/1.

Function 2 Supplement: The charger can replenish its own energy by consuming vital energy. Activation consumes 1,000 breaths of vital energy, and the cooldown time is 24 hours.

Note: This is a high-end product, unlike those consumables that are used up and then thrown away!
…………

A reusable charger? That's a great thing! With this, Luo Jun won't have to search the world for chargers anymore!

The only drawback is that the maximum energy capacity is too low; it can only be charged once. However, energy can be restored every day. In other words, with this, Luo Jun has a fixed opportunity to charge once a day.

As for the thousand breaths of vital energy required to restore energy, that was not even within Luo Jun's consideration!
