Chapter 269: Two Paths to Becoming a God

As soon as Lu Yue climbed to the top of the mountain, the sound of fighting in the distance stopped.

He suddenly felt something was wrong, so he quickened his pace and hurried over.

I finally saw the true face of the huge black shadow that I had glimpsed at the foot of the mountain before.

This is indeed similar to the fairy peach tree that the stone statue of the God of Longevity relied on to heal itself after burying itself in the ground. However, even though the fairy peach tree is withered and dead, it gives people the feeling of an old man who is about to ascend to heaven, isolated from the world.

In contrast, the gray peach tree in front of him had an eerie and terrifying aura, like a ghost that had escaped from the abyss of the underworld, opening its ferocious claws, attempting to devour everything in the world.

Although they look like twins, they are two extremes.

Could it be because of the growing environment?
Lu Yue remembered the idiom "a southern orange tree grows only as well as a northern orange tree."

But where did the extraordinary people who went up the mountain before go?

Lu Yue was puzzled and moved forward slowly and cautiously. He soon noticed that there were some strange human-shaped peach roots growing around this strange peach tree. They were in different shapes. Some seemed to be fleeing in fear, some seemed to be struggling in despair, and some seemed to be twisting their bodies in pain...

A terrifying guess suddenly emerged in Lu Yue's mind.

Could it be that these are the people who went up the mountain before?
“How did you get up the mountain if you were not recognized by the seeds?”

Suddenly, a voice came to Lu Yue's ears.

Looking back, Lu Yue found that it was the familiar one-eared old man. He hadn't seen him for a week, and most of his head had been rotten and bloody, looking extremely horrifying.

Apparently the influence of Shoushen's corpse on him was becoming more and more serious.

After being discovered, Lu Yue was not panicked at all. Instead, he said calmly: "Oh, I don't know about going up the mountain. It was Master Fang who asked me to come in."

Upon hearing the three words "Master Fang", the one-eared old man staggered and almost fell down.

"No, the curse in your body is gone too. How did you do that?!"

"Master Fang said that the word 'Shou' was written ugly, so he just erased it. I don't understand the principle. How about I call him out and you can ask him in person?"

The one-eared old man's face twitched, and he pulled at his festering skin, oozing out a few drops of pus. After a second or two of silence, he said in a hoarse and slightly embarrassed voice, "I'm not afraid even if you call him over..."

"Then I really screamed, Fang..."

Lu Yue made a gesture to call out, but the one-eared old man trembled and interrupted him quickly, saying in a deep voice: "Whatever benefit Fang gave you, I will give you double... no... ten times."

The one-eared old man had to admit that he was increasingly unable to understand this young man.

This Shoushen Mountain Range has been sealed by successive Shoushen gods, and even he has no power to change it. He can only use the corpses of the last generation of Shoushen gods to slightly change some rules, such as changing the quality of seeds entering the mountain and giving dead seeds to the other party.

But this young man came in without any seeds.

And it also lifted his curse.

Is it possible that Fang’s strength really hasn’t declined?

Otherwise it is impossible to explain how the other party did all this.

The one-eared old man had been looking at Lu Yue. He found that this young man was indeed extraordinary. Not only was he strong and had special abilities, but he was also not afraid at all when going up the mountain alone. Could it be that he really had the support of Fang behind him?
His plan was about to succeed, and no variables were allowed at this time.

So he tried to persuade Lu Yue to rebel.

"Give me a benefit?"

"Then you have to be sincere and tell me the origin of that peach tree."

Lu Yue pointed at the strange peach tree in the distance. He knew that the other party was stalling for time, but he was not completely sure that he could kill the other party. And judging from the speed at which the other party's head was rotting, it could be proved that the longer the time, the weaker the other party's strength would be.

When the opponent's strength is weakened to the extreme, it is the best time for him to take action.

Lu Yue believed that the other party was also well aware of this.

In short, neither side dares to act rashly and is trying to delay time.

Both sides believe that delaying time is to their advantage.

The one-eared old man looked at the peach tree and seemed to remember something. He said in a deep voice, "Back then, the second generation of the God of Longevity cultivated many peach trees in this ruins. These peach trees are all magical, but there is only one that is the most special. It is a real fairy peach tree."

"Legend has it that if you take one bite of the peach tree, you can instantly become a god."

"Unfortunately, the rules of the ruins do not allow it. The fact that the fairy peach tree can survive is already an act against heaven. I'm afraid it may not bear fruit even when the ruins are destroyed."

"Thirty years ago, the organization behind me cut a branch from the fairy peach tree and planted it on the top of this mountain. They arranged for me to wait here and wait for this peach tree with the same roots and origin to bear fruit."

"I didn't understand it at first, until I sewed up the body of Shoujin and spied on some memory fragments one day."

"Here is the legacy of the longevity gods of all generations, except for the last generation."

“These inheritances are divinity.”

"Every trace of divinity represents the possibility of becoming a god."

"The first generation of the God of Longevity left a legacy to the second generation of the God of Longevity, helping the second generation of the God of Longevity to become a god. In addition to returning the legacy of the first generation of the God of Longevity, the second generation of the God of Longevity also left behind his own legacy. And so on... This God of Longevity Mountain Range is the path to godhood left by the generations of the God of Longevity for future generations."

"Each generation of Shou Shen not only left behind a legacy, but also strengthened the rules here."

"Except for the last generation of Shou Shen, who is the original owner of the body I am stitching together now, he did not choose the path that other generations of Shou Shen have taken."

"Instead, he chose another path to becoming a god..."

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows.

Two paths to becoming a god?

He seemed to understand something vaguely.

Perhaps it is precisely because of these two different paths to becoming a god that the changes after becoming a god are so different. According to this logic... the last generation of Shou Shen, like Bigan, chose another path to becoming a god.

"This fairy peach tree with the same roots and origin but different origins has only one function, which is to absorb all the inheritance in this Shoushen Mountain Range and integrate all the divinity left by the Shoushen."

“Thus the strongest divinity was born!”

"However, due to the seals set by successive generations of longevity gods, these inheritances are hidden in different spaces. If they are absorbed by force, they will be shattered. The more you force it, the more fragments will be split."

"Because of this... the process of this peach tree bearing fruit will be extremely slow, and may even take hundreds of years... thousands of years..."

"This time is too long. I don't want to wait in vain, so I came up with a solution. Since this is the inheritance place of the longevity gods of all generations, they must be waiting for the right person."

"As long as the right person appears, the inheritance will naturally manifest easily."

"Your arrival has accelerated the process for me, but don't worry... this peach tree is only absorbing the divinity in their bodies and will not endanger their lives."

The one-eared old man emphasized the last sentence.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yue frowned slightly, then walked to a human-shaped tree root and sensed it carefully. As expected, he found that there was a complete life fluctuation coming from it.

It is indeed as the other party said, this alternative fairy peach tree with the same roots and origin but different place is absorbing all the divine inheritance, integrating them and forming the strongest divinity.

“I’ve been walking on thin ice my whole life.”

"I have spent my whole life studying how to solve bloodline defects."

"It turns out that sewing up God's corpse is not an option."

"I have no choice but to become a god myself."

Having said that, how could Lu Yue not understand that the other party wanted to absorb all the divinity and become a god, thus completely solving the problem of blood defect.

"What you did is no different from stealing from the company."

"Aren't you afraid that the organization behind you will come after you?"

Lu Yue seemed to be concerned about the other party's safety, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to find out the truth about the mysterious organization behind the other party, because he always felt that this organization had big plans.

The one-eared old man said calmly: "In the past thirty years, they have never sent anyone to contact me. Why should I hand them over now?" Lu Yue was surprised and said: "Isn't this a naked betrayal?"

Hearing Lu Yue's words, the one-eared old man suddenly laughed and asked, "In your opinion, young people, if you join an organization, you have to work hard for it for the rest of your life?"

In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only considerations of interests.

He did join the organization, but only on the condition that they help him get revenge.

However, it turned out that the man surnamed Fang was still alive.

So it's not a betrayal.

It was the organization that deceived him first!

When the one-eared old man thought about this, he became furious.

But in order to delay time, he forced himself to suppress his anger.

Apart from that, he stayed in this dark place for thirty years.

The organization behind him never contacted him.

No one knows how he survived these thirty years!!!
If he hadn't found another way to speed up the process, he would probably have died here for the rest of his life. Now the peach will soon be ripe, and it is the path to becoming a god.

How could he hand it over? ! !
The one-eared old man calmed down and continued, "In fact, I intercepted this peach not only for myself, but also to save the people of the world."

Lu Yue was stunned and scratched his ears. He suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"You said you were doing this for the people of the world?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

What's the problem?
This is really problematic!!!
In order to save the people of the world, I have been planning for thirty years.

Deprive other extraordinary beings of their inheritance and complete your path to godhood.

Do you think this makes sense? ! !

The one-eared old man didn't care about Lu Yue's contemptuous look. Instead, he said calmly: "You have eavesdropped on what I said outside before. You should know that the organization behind me is implementing a plan. Once this plan succeeds, no one will be spared from this catastrophe, and the whole world will be overturned."

"You are young and promising, with unlimited potential. You are a good seedling."

"Once I become a god, I can protect you and save you from this catastrophe."

"And I can also help you become a god just like the gods of longevity in the past..."

The one-eared old man patiently persuaded and offered a considerable amount of chips.

Lu Yue suddenly became interested and asked, "What plan?"

The one-eared old man was silent for a second or two, then he said hoarsely, "I can't tell you about this plan, at least not before I become a god, otherwise I will be in big trouble. But I can tell you that this catastrophe will come soon."

"The damage caused by a god is unimaginable to mortals. If I intercept this peach now, it will be equivalent to weakening the strength of that organization by one point."

"My move is called saving the country in a roundabout way. How can it not be considered saving the people of the world?"

"Actually, I also want to be a good person and stand on the side of justice."

The one-eared old man said the last sentence calmly.

The muscles at the corners of Lu Yue's eyes twitched.

You are really the mother of the Naughty Emperor, you are so thick-skinned! ! ! !
A person who led his entire clan onto the evil path of exterminating nine clans, harmed others' lives to refine special limbs, caused countless killings, and was indifferent to the life and death of his great-grandson, actually has the nerve to say that he wants to be a good person and stand on the side of justice.

"Fate is a cruel thing. If I had a choice, like you, and was born without a blood defect, who would want to be born a bad person?"

"Young man, are you willing to give me a chance to be a good person?"

Lu Yue was surprised.

He didn't expect the other party to say such philosophical words.

Isn’t this the real-life version of a bad guy putting down his butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly?

A good person needs to go through 81 difficulties before he can become a Buddha.

No, why am I discussing this topic with the other party?

As soon as you move your lips, you want to be a good person and stand on the side of justice.

Do you think that the divinity that should belong to other predestined people should be deprived of it by you?
And those special limbs, they were also human beings when they were alive, they had families, wives, children and elders. Did they voluntarily sacrifice themselves for your experiment to solve blood defects?

Thirty years ago, you did a bad thing and were discovered by Taoist Fang, who spared your life. However, you did not correct your behavior and always held a grudge, so you joined an organization to seek revenge.

You want to be a good person now?

Why did you go early?
Isn't this naked moral kidnapping?!

At this time, Lu Yue smelled a strange peach fragrance. He found that the fruit on the peach tree in the distance was getting bigger and bigger, and the blooming light was getting brighter and brighter. It was obvious that it was about to mature.

At the same time, he also noticed the strong stench emanating from the one-eared old man's head. The impact of the longevity god's corpse was becoming more and more serious, which also indicated that the divinity in the other party's body was rapidly draining away and he was getting weaker and weaker.

Lu Yue thought for a moment and said, "People often say 'Put down the butcher knife and you will become a Buddha right away'. Of course I can give you a chance, as long as you abandon the body of the God of Longevity now."

The one-eared old man remained silent, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a fierce look.

The prerequisite for putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly is to hold the "butcher knife" in hand, but if he really puts down the "butcher knife", he will be left with nothing in his hands, and it is no longer up to him to decide whether he can become a Buddha or not.

The one-eared old man did not move, obviously having made his choice.

Lu Yue spread his hands.

"Look, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

At this moment, a flash of scarlet appeared in the one-eared old man's eyes, and the aura of his body suddenly burst out. Invisible cold air waves spread around like a tide. In an instant, the ground shook, and broken hands, feet, and heads surged from afar.

Just now he checked the mountains and did not find anyone with the surname Fang.

The young man was bluffing.

The peaches are about to ripen, and it's almost time.

At this moment, he stopped pretending and completely revealed his true colors.

"I started killing people when I was eight years old. My father told me at that time that it was okay. You can kill whoever you want, because you are the descendant of the corpse-stitching lineage and you have to deal with corpses since you were born."

"After I become a god, neither you nor anyone with the surname Fang will be able to escape!!!"

"No...you will die before Fang!"

A large number of body parts gradually approached Lu Yue, and the one-eared old man took the opportunity to run towards the peach tree. He did not expect that the previously failed method could kill the young man. What he needed was to delay the other party and buy time for himself.

All you have to do is transfer the divinity to the new body and sew the head on.

After he becomes a god and the overall situation is settled, he can then deal with this young man.

"Your father's last name is Cao, don't you eat beef either?"

"Forget it, it's not important."

"Do you remember who killed your longevity god thirty years ago?"

The one-eared old man paused, turned around abruptly and looked at Lu Yue.

But Lu Yue looked up to the sky and shouted: "Peng Zu, what are you waiting for?!"

"Kill him and finish what you didn't finish thirty years ago."
