Chapter 261, Curse from the God of Longevity
The battle of Heping Village finally came to an end.

At this time, the extraordinary people who were fleeing in fear on the periphery stopped and looked from afar. After seeing the tall figure of the man, they all held their breath.

This man is so scary!!!

This is the first time that a transcendental being of the seventh level of the Divine Treasures has clearly appeared in the ruins. Although there is a problem with the life essence in the body of the servant of the God of Longevity, with the help of that strange blood knife, his strength is definitely stronger than that of an ordinary transcendental being of the seventh level of the Divine Treasures.

And the boss of Heping Village, who was usually unknown, actually had such astonishing fighting power. With one axe, he chopped down the servant of the God of Longevity on the spot.

Before this, no one could have imagined this outcome.

But what is certain is that from today on, the title of owner of the Peace Hotel will be on par with those of the leaders of large organizations and the heirs of bloodline families.

This man is destined to be one of the strongest contenders for core ownership rights.

The war has just ended, but the aftermath is not over yet.

Lu Yue quietly returned to the wooden house, closed the doors and windows, and did not let anyone approach.

"It's not enough... Give me yellow, yellow hard!!"

Lu Yue looked nervous and frantically urged the topaz body.

He attempted to use the properties of the topaz body to erase the mark of the god of longevity.

But the result was not as expected, the character for longevity still existed.

Lu Yue finally gave up this behavior. This only meant that the power of the topaz body was not enough to remove the mark. Then he checked the amount of source energy in his mind again.

There are three hundred and eighty-eight strands in total.

Give it a try!
Lu Yue consumed one hundred and sixty strands of source energy without hesitation.

Decisively deduce and synthesize "The Sixth Edition of the Jade Body Chapter of the Book of Changes: Washing Marrow Sutra".

Lu Yue quickly flipped through the book while it was still hot, and then his expression turned strange.

There is good news and bad news.

The bad news is that this version only improves the efficiency of practice and partially optimizes the practice methods, but it is not enough to make a breakthrough.

The good news is that the next version will definitely involve a way to break through another layer.

However, this requires 320 strands of source energy, but Lu Yue’s source energy is currently stretched to a trickle. Even if the quality can be improved in two days, it is unknown when he can achieve a breakthrough. It is obviously impossible to expect a breakthrough in a short period of time.

Lu Yue looked at the word "longevity" on his wrist again.

He didn't believe that the word "longevity" was just a simple tattoo.

There must be some unknown influences here.

Lu Yue kept checking his body and soon realized the impact.

Because six hours during the day equals six years of life, which is a benefit that everyone has, the first thing he did when he returned to Heping Village was to put away the human head longevity statue.

However, several hours had passed since he killed the servant of the God of Longevity, the sky was about to turn dark, and his life span had not increased at all.

Is this what the servant of Shou Shen meant by "no place to stand?"

Fortunately, after verification, Lu Yue discovered that he could replenish his lifespan by taking rare treasures, but he could no longer gain those six years of lifespan for free.

This also proves from the side that the so-called God of Longevity is not invincible.

If he is really invincible, he can make his words come true and prevent Lu Yue from absorbing the life from the treasures of heaven and earth. If that is the case, he can only choose to withdraw and declare the mission a failure.

Isn't he the invincible God of Longevity?

This discovery further confirmed Lu Yue's guess about the identity of the longevity god.

If that were all... this curse wouldn't be anything to be afraid of.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside. Lu Yue came to the window and found that Zhao Wentao and others were organizing everyone to repair the Peace Hotel. Due to these people's previous behavior of defending the Peace Hotel, Lu Yue thought about it and issued a notice, deciding to provide free accommodation for one night.

This action immediately caused everyone to shout their gratitude to the boss.

As time passed, the darkness of the night fell again, gradually blurring the outline of the ruins, and Heping Village in the ruins fell into deathly silence.

Lu Yue took out the human head statue again.

After looking closely, I found some tiny cracks on it.

There is no doubt that it must be the traces left behind when it was used to protect Heping Village.

This human-headed longevity statue is inextricably linked to the first generation of the longevity god, and is suspected to know Zhang Yaling. Now it is protecting Heping Village...

Lu Yue immediately tried to ask the other party if he had any requests, and he tried his best to satisfy them as a reward for the other party's protection of the village.

Suddenly, Lu Yue frowned and turned around to look outside the door.

"Who?"

Heping Village was silent after nightfall, and everyone was enjoying the protection of the human head statue. However, Lu Yue keenly caught the sound of slight footsteps approaching.

"Who's out there?"

Lu Yue looked towards the pitch-black outside with his eyes slightly narrowed. As he spoke, he reached for the medicine box and picked up the bronze axe with his right hand. He secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that the longevity god behind the scenes had sent someone over again?

After all, he killed the servant of the God of Longevity in front of everyone during the day.

This is equivalent to slapping the face of the God of Longevity.

If it were Lu Yue, he would also choose to launch another surprise attack at night.

When Lu Yue walked out of the room, he saw a figure standing in front of him.

The man was fair and well-proportioned, wearing white clothes, with a smile on his face, looking gentle and elegant, and was staring at Lu Yue intently.

"You are sneaking around in the middle of the night. There is no one like you in Heping Village. Who are you?"

"I mean no harm, I just came to discuss something with you."

Discuss something?
Which serious people would discuss things in the middle of the night?

Lu Yue pretended to be enlightened and said, "Oh... So you want to talk to me about something. Then come in quickly. It's cold outside and you're wearing so little. I'll make you a pot of soup to drive away the cold."

The pretty boy smiled and walked forward while saying, "Thank you."

When the opponent approached, Lu Yue suddenly changed his expression and chopped down with his axe domineeringly.

"You're welcome. Remember to give me a good review after you drink Mengpo Soup downstairs."

However, what was strange was that when the bronze axe was chopped down, there was no resistance at all, and the pretty boy in front of him disappeared without a trace like smoke.

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows.

What kind of ability is this? "

"I really have no ill intentions. You don't have to rush to take action. Just listen to me first. I know what the word longevity on your wrist means."

At this time, the pretty boy's voice sounded in Lu Yue's ears again. The other party appeared beside the wooden house at some point and just saw the word "longevity" on Lu Yue's wrist.

"What does it mean?" Lu Yue turned around and asked curiously.

"That means you have been marked by the God of Longevity in advance. Once your lifespan reaches zero, you will automatically sign a death contract regardless of whether you agree or not, and will be controlled by the God of Longevity."

Seeing that Lu Yue did not take action, the pretty boy continued: "Besides that, this is also a curse. You will not be able to increase your lifespan during the day, and your lifespan will also decrease at night."

"And this curse cannot be circumvented by using the remains of the statue."

Lu Yue frowned, his eyes fixed on his wrist.

Sure enough, an hour had passed since dark and his life span had already been shortened.

The human head statue did not protect him.

This means that he will lose eighteen years of life every day. "And this is exactly related to what I came to discuss with you. We can cooperate. I have a fragment of a stone statue in my hand. If we can gather it together, we can maximize its ability."

"Perhaps it can counter the curse of the God of Longevity in the ruins."

Lu Yue looked directly at the other person, and he understood clearly in his heart.

The other party came for the human head statue in his hand.

"You just said maybe, you're not sure it will succeed?"

The pretty boy nodded slightly: "It is rumored that the head is in your hands. I don't know which generation this stone statue belongs to, but even between the longevity gods, there is a big gap, not to mention that it is just a stone statue."

"If the one who cursed you is a newborn god of longevity, the chances of success won't be very high with only the stone statues of the gods of longevity from previous eras. Otherwise, you can gather all the statues of the gods of longevity and open the mountain passage. You may be able to find a solution there."

"Of course... you can also exit the ruins now and seek refuge from the Demon Suppression Division. I believe the experts at the Demon Suppression Division headquarters will have a solution."

Does the other party know about the eras of the God of Longevity?
Just this little bit of information is enough to prove that the other party is definitely not an ordinary extraordinary person.

Another point worth noting is that the other party did not know the appearance of the longevity statue in Lu Yue's hand, which means that when he came into contact with the other fragments of the longevity statues, he did not fall into the memory scene.

"Tell me your identity first, then we can talk about cooperation."

"My name is Gao Sheng. I come from the Gao family of magicians and I am the descendant of the main line of magicians."

The pretty boy frankly told his origins and continued, "My village is quite far from Heping Village. When I heard the news that Heping Village was surrounded, I wanted to rush over to help, but I was still a step too late."

"But fortunately, things didn't get any worse."

Magician?
Sure enough, the other party was the heir of a certain bloodline family.

The third of the various schools of thought is magic.

Also known as a magician, his special ability is to make the fake look real.

This is what ordinary people call illusion.

This is also the reason why the opponent turned into green smoke when Lu Yue chopped him down with his axe.

Everything is just an illusion created by magic.

These descendants of bloodlines with profound heritage are indeed very powerful.

Moreover, the other party claims to be the successor of the main lineage, which means he has a very high status.

However, Lu Yue scoffed at the other party's offer to help as soon as possible.

The remaining pieces of the stone statue of the God of Longevity are inestimable in value. The incident of two geniuses and extraordinary people taking advantage of the situation to rob people today is still fresh in my mind. People’s hearts are hidden, and only the person himself knows whether the other party has bad intentions or not.

In the ruins, Lu Yue is called the last conscientious boss.

This is the result of a comparison with our competitors who have longevity images.

Ask anyone and they will know that large organizations and bloodline descendants use the remaining parts of lifespans to exploit others. For example, they require half of their daily lifespan to be handed over. In addition, they also require property in the real world.

The reputation of these people is only slightly better than those with negative numbers.

Seeing Lu Yue's indifferent expression, the magician Gao Sheng was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "It seems that you have misunderstood me. Indeed... In the eyes of other people in the ruins, we have become villains who exploit our compatriots."

"But the fact is that we have clearly marked the price. The cost of joining the stockade varies from person to person, and it is all within the range that those people can afford. In addition, we also have to take care of the work of defending the stockade and preventing attacks from negative numbers."

"Some people among the civilian superhumans hate us, the bloodline superhumans, and think that we have no right to enjoy such good resources, but these resources are also accumulated by my ancestors."

"Some people only believe what they want to believe, and then spread the word, and we are inexplicably saddled with this bad reputation."

"I heard that your village was robbed by some people today."

"Those people have a more positive reputation within the ruins than we do."

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I don't deny that some organizations or bloodline descendants do exploit other extraordinary people, but this is not the case in my village."

"As for the rules for collecting real-world property, this is not something I can decide. This is a standard set by the family elders in the team after consultation."

"As the descendant of this generation of magicians, I am the result of my family's dedication to cultivating me. Naturally, I need to do something for the family in return."

Goldman Sachs spoke sincerely and expressed the responsibilities and obligations of family heirs.

The larger the organization or family, the more rigorous the training of successors.

Talent is important, but later efforts are equally crucial.

He also went through layers of selection and testing before becoming the successor of the main lineage.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a bloodline family to cultivate an ungrateful descendant who only knows how to take without giving back to the family. Even a family with a deep foundation cannot squander it casually.

The reason for collecting real-world property is simply for the development of the family in the real world. As the heir, Goldman Sachs is powerless to change this.

Unless one day he truly takes control of the family.

After listening to Goldman's speech, Lu Yue was silent for a moment. His views on some bloodline families changed a little. There were no philanthropists in the ruins, and it was impossible to help others for free without any selfish motives.

Including Lu Yue himself, he opened a low-cost hotel and had his own selfish motives.

"Before I came to see you tonight, I had already discussed with other people who had the remains of the longevity statues. We will gather at the ancient temple tomorrow during the day, gather the longevity statues back to their original places, and open the passage leading to the interior of the mountain."

"It's time to determine the ownership of this relic."

After Lu Yue pondered for a moment, he nodded slowly, making it clear that he would show up on time.

Then the magician Gao Sheng turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in an instant.

This trick is quite magical.

Back in the room, Lu Yue saw the longevity character on his wrist. He focused his eyes on the cracked human head statue, thought for a moment and said, "You heard what that man said just now. He looked down on you and said that you couldn't remove the little curse on me."

"To be honest, I'm very angry. Now anyone dares to question the authority of the first generation of the God of Longevity. You have to stand up and teach him a lesson."

"Let him understand what it means that 'when the gods are angry, the whole world is afraid'."

"Help me remove this curse and I'll punch him in the face for you."

After a long time, the word "Shou" on Lu Yue's wrist was still clearly visible.

"God of Longevity, wake up. It's only twelve o'clock in the evening. Don't sleep any more. He is the God of Longevity, and you are also the God of Longevity. You are still the first generation, and you are a senior."

"He can curse me, and you can untie it for me."

"There's a folk saying that goes 'old ginger is still spicy'. You're a thousand-year-old old ginger, don't let that new ginger look down on you. Show the same spirit you used to kill the last longevity god thirty years ago..."

However, no matter how Lu Yue provoked the other party, there was no response.

Lu Yue sighed helplessly, and finally said: "Help me to break this curse, and I will take you to find Zhang Yaling, the real owner of the body bag."

"I'll...try..."

The voice of the human head statue finally sounded faintly in Lu Yue's mind.

Lu Yue's face darkened.

I've been chatting with you for quite a while, my mouth is almost dry, but you haven't said a word. Now that I mention Zhang Yaling, you become more energetic, right? ! ! !

Who is Zhang Yaling to you? ! ! !
Lu Yue took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked the other party to try to lift the curse.

However, after a long time, there was still no response.

"Have you tried it? I don't feel anything."

Human head statue: "I am... incomplete... I can't..."

Lu Yue: “…”
