Chapter 287: Gongshu Ban’s Past
Bang bang bang!
Lu Yue punched swiftly, without too many complicated moves. He relied entirely on his overall advantages in size, strength, height, etc. to crush the opponent with force. Every punch he threw was accompanied by the explosion and splash of parts of the giant Gongshuban, as if a star was falling.

[Source Energy +1, +1...]

These are all parts of the collective.

Each piece is at least a mid-level wooden artifact.

Lu Yue’s giant fist, surrounded by lightning, kept bombarding like a pile driver.

For a moment, waves of air were stirred up, and even the space seemed to tremble.

ding ding ding...

Just like Mario hitting blocks.

The source energy prompt sound in Lu Yue's mind never stopped.

The giant Gongshuban retreated again and again under Lu Yue's fierce attack.

A large amount of source energy is constantly erupting.

Finally, the opponent found an opportunity to counterattack.

He swung the giant axe and chopped towards Lu Yue.

The axe was so powerful that it seemed to be able to split the sky and the earth.

"Do you know how to use this several-meter-long giant axe?!"

Lu Yue held the opponent's head with one hand and took the opportunity to grab the giant axe with his other hand.

This kind of giant axe was also the first time Lu Yue had seen it.

He also wanted to try the feeling of swinging the giant axe.

However, once contact was made, it was discovered that the wooden handle was resisting desperately.

The tighter Lu Yue held on, the harder the opponent struggled. Eventually, the cracks on the wooden handle grew bigger and bigger until it collapsed and exploded into countless pieces, and the bronze axe fell to the ground with a clang.

[Source Energy +1]

Lu Yue's face turned dark.

I would rather die than give him a try.

After all, we've been together day and night for such a long time, is it really true that there is no affection at all?
Sure enough, the first axe he swung when he got ashore was at the person he wanted.

Just as Lu Yue was fighting for control of the giant axe, the giant Gongshu Ban, who had gotten a break, began to change his body. The wooden objects around him gathered towards him and became part of him, causing his body to suddenly rise taller.

It reaches an astonishing twenty meters, about as high as a six-story building.

When you mock others for their height, it will backfire on you.

In front of the other party, Lu Yue looked as thin as an elementary school student.

However, facing such a huge opponent, Lu Yue did not retreat. Instead, his eyes became excited. The more you pile up, the more source energy you have.

boom!
Lu Yue's fist, charged with thunder and lightning, directly punched through the giant Gongshu Ban's waist.

Harvested ten strands of source energy in succession.

The giant Lu Ban seemed unable to feel the pain. A huge wooden hand slapped towards Lu Yue. Countless wooden objects were rotating in the center of the palm, shaped like saw teeth, which was frightening.

The next second, Lu Yue retracted his Sky-lifting Dharma Image in time to avoid the attack of the giant hand. Then, he used his speed advantage to quickly go behind the giant Lu Ban. His Sky-lifting Dharma Image burst out again and delivered a series of heavy punches to his lower back.

With loud bangs, the giant Lu Ban lost his balance and almost fell down.

After suffering continuous blows to the lower back, the wooden tools on various parts of the giant Lu Ban's limbs rotated, and his head turned 180 degrees. His back instantly turned into his chest, and his two giant hands grabbed Lu Yue fiercely.

Whoosh!
Lu Yue put away his Dharma image in time, returned to his original form, and went around again.

Keep pounding your waist.

Dangdang Dangdang!
This went on repeatedly, and Lu Yue never chose to fight back head-on. Instead, he kept switching between the Qingtian Dharma Form and his original body, and then consumed the source energy in the opponent's body.

Under Lu Yue's rogue fighting style, the giant Luban was defeated step by step.

At the same time, every time he harvested a large wave of source energy, Lu Ban's body would become shorter, from hammering the kidneys to the small intestines, stomach, gallbladder, liver, heart, lungs, trachea, thyroid gland, face, top of the head...

Lu Yue's fist was as powerful as a hot knife through butter. After continuous consumption of energy, there was a loud bang, and the giant Lu Ban's body exploded into pieces and fell completely.

As the foundation of the Gongshu lineage for thousands of years, the giant Lu Ban provided him with more than 400 strands of source energy, which was definitely a great harvest.

However, when Lu Yue put away his Sky-lifting Dharma Image, bent down to pick up the bronze axe and prepared to head towards the deep source, as soon as he stood up, the scene in front of him flowed like water ripples.

The lame old carpenter and others disappeared without a trace.

The wooden fragments on the ground also turned into nothingness...

Snowflakes were flying in front of me, the snow on the road turned into ice, and it was extremely cold and frosty.

Hundreds of ancient people wearing thin and worn linen clothes stuffed with large amounts of hay supported each other, each with their family, as if they were fleeing.

In this cold winter, people keep falling down due to the severe cold and never survive.

Lu Yue looked around, and these ancient people ignored him.

This is a replay of memories from ancient times.

It’s the same as the previous incident with the vegetable seller in the office building.

Is it related to Lu Ban?
Lu Yue was confused.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, noticing something strange.

There's something weird about this snow.

The falling snowflakes touched the fleeing ancient people, and a chill suddenly emanated from the refugees' bodies. Their steps then became heavier, and they gradually solidified into ice sculptures.

There were originally hundreds of people bustling about, but in a moment a large number of them turned into ice sculptures.

One of the refugee families, knowing that they had no hope of survival, took off their tattered linen clothes and wrapped them all around a little girl who had tears in her eyes, red cheeks, and her breath was frosty.

In the end, no one in the family survived.

Among the huge group of refugees, only the little girl was shivering in the cold wind.

The little girl seemed to be abandoned by the whole world. She was alone and crying in front of her parents who had turned into ice sculptures. Snowflakes kept falling on her thin body, eroding her life. It seemed that the little girl would die at any time.

At this moment, several dark shadows were approaching rapidly.

This speed is definitely not ordinary.

The heavy snow in the sky suddenly disappeared, as if it was all an illusion, but the corpses on the ground proved that this place had indeed suffered a supernatural disaster.

Lu Yue was shocked to discover that Peng Zu was among the visitors.

"We are still too late. These aliens have started to wreak havoc and retaliate again."

"These aliens are too cunning. They hide among the crowd. Unless they reveal themselves, outsiders cannot identify them at all. They create natural disasters and stir up disputes. One day, they will pay with blood."

"The aliens are becoming stronger very quickly, and it's hard for us to win. But fortunately, we have the wooden magic tools made by Gongshu Ban. With these, we can gradually counterattack those aliens..."

Lu Yue's ears twitched slightly and his eyes turned to the left.

He was a man with dark, rough skin.

This person is actually the ancestor of Gongshu lineage - Lu Ban?
Perhaps because he had been working with wood for many years, Gongshu Ban looked weathered, with a dark face and no trace of godliness. He looked more like an honest person.

After these people talked, Lu Yue gradually understood the situation.

In this era, the alien forces were huge and their whereabouts were secretive, while the human side relied on the wooden tools made by Gongshu Ban to greatly increase their combat power and inflict heavy damage on the aliens.

The aliens were unable to conquer the city after a long time, so they turned to revenge and killing innocent people.

"By the way, Gongshu Ban, you said before that you were researching a special kind of wooden tool that can identify different species. How far have you progressed so far?"

Gongshu Ban said slowly, "It's a bit difficult. I'm wondering if we can identify the aliens with the wooden tools alone without relying on the extraordinary people, and then deal with them to reduce the casualties of our people."

"Can this be done without relying on extraordinary people to activate wooden instruments?"

As a kind of magical tool, wooden tools need to be controlled by extraordinary people to exert their several times power. Now Gongshu Ban proposes to kill enemies automatically without relying on extraordinary people.

Peng Zu and others were shocked by Gongshu Ban's wonderful ideas.

Gongshu Ban remained silent, indicating that he was also groping in the dark.

"Forget it, let's hurry to the next place, I hope we can make it in time."

"Wait, there's a little girl there, and she's still breathing."

Peng Zu found a little girl whose life was hanging by a thread.

Several people appeared in front of the little girl in an instant and rescued her.

At this moment, a thorny problem was placed before several demigods.

In this day and age, monsters are causing chaos, and natural and man-made disasters are constantly occurring. This little girl has lost both her parents and no relatives. How she will survive is a problem. If left alone, even if she is rescued now, she will starve to death in no time.

"Leave it to me. At least she can learn a skill."

Gongshu Ban proposed a solution.

The others nodded in agreement.

Then, Lu Yue witnessed the little girl being taken to Gongshu Ban's home.

This is a family of craftsmen that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Gongshu Ban entrusted the little girl to his mother and wife, who took good care of her.

Time flies by.

Lu Yue's perspective was always focused on the little girl.

Although he didn't understand why.

But it was just like what Bigan remembered from the time when he met the vegetable seller.

Lu Yue vaguely felt that the little girl was the key to this memory recall.

This little girl is extremely intelligent and more diligent than boys of the same age. She is kind to others and is always willing to do any dirty or tiring work.

Within a few months, the little girl was recognized by all the carpenters, including Gongshu Ban's mother and wife, and they treated her as their own child.

Lu Yue stood in the yard and looked in another direction. That was where Gongshu Ban made wooden tools. Ever since he rescued the little girl, he had been in seclusion most of the time, tinkering with wooden tools, seemingly studying how to make them kill enemies automatically.

That is resurrection.

During this period, Peng Zu and others occasionally came to exchange the latest information.

For example, if a war breaks out among the princes of a certain place, there are aliens behind it.

A rare natural disaster occurred in a certain place, which was also caused by alien creatures.

Their people were secretly maintaining order, and many of them were killed.

Gongshu Ban was a man of few words, and devoted himself to his studies in seclusion.

As long as the wooden objects can be revived, the human camp will have fewer sacrifices.

In the blink of an eye, it was winter again. Gongshu Ban made a breakthrough. He developed a wooden horse that could move on its own. He told his family the good news. However, before he could test it, news came that the immortal demigod in the underworld was causing trouble.

Gongshu Ban did not hesitate and rushed straight to the battlefield with Peng Zu and others.

He was gone for several months, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Gongshu Ban's mother missed her son very much, and finally remembered what Gongshu Ban said about the wooden horse being able to move by itself, so she sat on the untested wooden horse.

During this time, the little girl also insisted on following.

Soon, a miracle happened. The Trojan horse that had been dormant started up slowly.

He galloped away carrying Gongshu Ban's mother and the little girl.

Lu Yue frowned slightly, remembering a story that was popular among the people.

Gongshu Ban's mother accidentally fell into an ice hole and died after riding a wooden horse secretly.

Lu Yue followed closely and saw that the wooden horse, which was originally running smoothly, suddenly slipped on the ice. The little girl lost her footing and fell, and the ice broke. Gongshu Ban's mother risked her life to save the little girl and finally brought her to shore. However, she herself was unable to climb out due to the invasion of cold river water and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Gongshu Ban, who was far away in the sky, had a telepathic connection and appeared at the scene in an instant, but it was too late. The little girl next to him burst into tears and kept blaming herself. In the end, she even wanted to jump down to retrieve the body of Gongshu Ban's mother, but was stopped by Gongshu Ban.

Gongshu Ban felt very guilty about his mother's death.

But Gongshu Ban did not give up his mission of making resurrected wooden objects.

Enough people have died in this war.

He just wanted to save lives.

For every additional wooden resurrection artifact, one less human being will die.

Time flies, and in the days that followed, Gongshu Ban continued to devote himself to research. Although his wife had doubts, she fully supported her husband's decision.

Soon, the second generation of wooden artifacts was born, which was a wooden kite.

This time he carefully inspected it and ensured its safety and reliability.

At the same time, his wife brought the good news that she was pregnant.

At this time, Lu Yue still had a shadow in his heart.

Another folk horror legend comes to mind. Gongshu Ban’s wife was flying on a wooden kite, but she defiled the kite because she was about to give birth, causing it to malfunction and both mother and child died.

Not long after, Peng Zu came to visit and brought news from the Goddess of the Underworld.

The other main forces all went to the end of the underworld. They were going to summon the remaining demigods to try to seal the other party. Once the method was feasible, humans would have hope of turning the tables when facing the other immortal demigods in the underworld.

By then they will be able to free up their hands to deal with those aliens.

After this trip, Gongshu Ban disappeared for several months.

The wife waiting at home was extremely anxious, and the little girl beside her was also looking forward to his return day by day. Finally, Gongshu Ban's wife also decided to ride on the wooden kite and set out on the journey to find her husband.

The little girl said goodbye with tears in her eyes and presented the food she had made herself.

However, a few days later, bad news came that Gongshu Ban's wife had heavy bleeding during the flight and defiled the wooden bird, causing it to lose control and both mother and child died.

Lu Yue's brows were twisted into knots.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to Gongshu Ban when he returned home and saw his wife and children dead.

And...can Gongshu Ban really come back?

The lame old carpenter said that their ancestors died in a great war.

This time, it didn't take long before the embarrassed figures of Peng Zu and his companions appeared.

They successfully sealed the Goddess of the Underworld, and also discovered that the other immortal demigods of the Underworld had disappeared. This was originally good news, but they lost a friend in this battle.

It’s Gongshu Ban.

Peng Zu and others brought back Gongshu Ban's body.

Soon they learned the tragic news that Gongshu Ban's wife and children had died tragically.

Out of guilt for their comrades on the same front, Peng Zu and his companions decided to find a piece of relic fragment as Gongshu Ban's resting place and to protect his descendants.

Up to now, Lu Yue is still a little confused.

I don't understand what connection this memory has with today, thousands of years later.

Although the tragic deaths of Gongshu Ban's mother, wife and children are indeed unacceptable, these are just accidents, and it is not likely that Lu Ban would be resurrected thousands of years later out of hatred, hate aliens, and even implicate people with source energy in their bodies.

And what role does the little girl play in this?
Why is she the main perspective?

Lu Yue had a hunch.

There must be a connection between these two.

And soon, the connection emerged.

One night, a little girl appeared in front of Gongshu Ban's coffin.

Lu Yue originally thought that the other party would be reluctant to see his savior die.

But the next second, the little girl smiled, her eyes full of gloating.

A sharp, mocking voice pierced the night sky.

"It's boring. It's really boring. A demigod has fallen like this."

"I haven't had enough fun yet, and you're dead."

"Since you are dead, I can tell you something. The wooden tools you made caused great losses to our underworld people. I came here specifically to lurk by your side."

"You all think that only extraordinary people are aliens and will pose a threat to you, but you demigods would never dream that a little girl like me who looks only seven or eight years old is also an alien in your eyes."

"I was the one who killed your mother. I dragged her into the river. And your wife, I put drugs in her food..."

"From today on, you Gongshu family will perish."

"No one can stop the coming of the underworld."

Lu Yue, who witnessed all this, suddenly stopped breathing.

She is actually an alien!!!
She's been pretending!!!

The little girl deceived everyone, including the outsider Lu Yue!!!

Who would have thought that a seven or eight-year-old girl who had lost both her parents, who usually did the dirtiest and hardest work, and who was very respectful to everyone would actually be an outlier.

The next moment, a large number of aliens poured into the Gongshu family. With the help of the little girl, these aliens started killing the Gongshu family who were completely unaware of the situation.

Lu Yue clenched his fists and his eyes became colder.

Even though this was something that had happened a long time ago, and thousands of years had passed, everything before his eyes still made him extremely depressed, and the anger in his chest was difficult to dissipate.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange.

Gongshu Ban's body moved.

Perhaps it was because he heard the truth about the tragic deaths of his mother and wife, or perhaps it was because he felt the wailing of his clansmen, Gongshu Ban's body began to turn into a zombie.

This scene caught the little girl and other aliens off guard.

Finally, Gongshu Ban stood up, and after his transformation, he was completely different from when he was alive. His eyes were filled with endless indifference, without any emotion...

When Peng Zu and others learned about this and rushed to the scene, it was too late.

All the aliens died.

Gongshu Ban's corpse wanders around the outside world, launching crazy revenge on aliens.

Whether it is a supernatural person or an ordinary person!

As long as there is source energy in the body, it will become the target of its revenge.

Later, Peng Zu and others found Gongshu Ban's body and witnessed the atrocities he had committed. Among them were people who deserved to die, but there were more innocent people.

After communicating with each other, Peng Zu and his companions decided to dissolve the monstrous corpse energy in Gongshu Ban, let it return to the earth, and bury it in the fragments of the Wood God's ruins.

It was not until thousands of years later that the main lineage prepared for the impending catastrophe and successfully used their background to keep the fairy peach tree alive.

But the life inside was also connected with Gongshu Ban's body.

Gongshu Ban turned into a zombie again.

At this moment, Lu Yue seemed to hear the corpse screaming.

Kill the invaders!

People from the underworld, kill!

Anyone who shelters dissidents will be killed!

Anyone with alien seeds in their body will be killed!

If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different. Kill them!
