Chapter 201: Heaven's Blessing and the Natural Disaster

As that ray of supreme will was completely crushed, Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Lu Yan could make any move, an invisible gaze descended from the sky. It was the gaze of the Heavenly Dao at the end of the world.

The vast pressure enveloped the world, and all things held their breath at this moment. In the depths of the void, countless mysterious laws emerged, like an eternal river flowing in the dark.

The sound of the resonance of all things resounds throughout heaven and earth, and the principles of Tao are intertwined, filling the entire world with mysterious and profound fluctuations of power, as if the eternal truth is manifested in the world at this moment.

This was not the first time that Lu Yan had come into contact with the Heavenly Dao. He even personally incarnated the Heavenly Dao during the great changes in the urban version, and he thought he had a certain understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

But the apocalyptic heavenly way that was revealed at this moment far exceeded Lu Yan’s previous narrow understanding of the heavenly way.

The urban law does not control any extraordinary laws, everything is within the framework of order.

The spiritual energy that Lu Yan incarnated as a human to revive the way of heaven has only given birth to a rudimentary form. The extraordinary rules he has mastered are extremely immature and are far from being a true extraordinary way of heaven.

The energy level in the apocalypse version is still limited to the early stage of the golden elixir, but the difference between the power of heaven displayed and the urban version is completely a world of difference.

The moment he came into contact with the Doomsday Heavenly Dao, Lu Yan suddenly felt fortunate that he did not try the idea of ​​replacing Heaven with man in the Doomsday version.

Even if slaughtering zombies produces version changes, it is a change in the direction that is beneficial to the apocalypse.

If he really wanted to come up with some other ideas, even if the Heavenly Dao of the End Times could not take direct action, he only needed to arouse the hostility of all living beings towards Lu Yan, and slightly fiddle with the rules of heaven and earth when Lu Yan was fighting, so that Lu Yan would have nowhere to use his magical powers.

Under the watchful eyes of Heaven at the end of the world, Lu Yan behaved very calmly.

Although he needs to kill zombies to upgrade his soul flag, it is obvious that the invaded Doomsday Heavenly Dao is the more urgent party and will naturally not attack him.

A moment later, a mysterious light fell from the sky.

The spiritual light seemed to be formed by the convergence of countless brilliant colors, and words were unable to describe its magnificent colors.

Without seeing any movement from Lu Yan, the ray of spiritual light fell into the soul flag in Lu Yan's hand. Then the gaze of Heaven was withdrawn, and all the strange phenomena around him also dissipated.

Everything comes and goes quickly.

Lu Yan quickly grasped the Soul Flag tightly, concentrating on feeling the changes inside the Soul Flag.

The next moment, the information contained in the mysterious spiritual light continued to pour into Lu Yan's mind.

There wasn't much information, but it contained real weight. Every word and every sentence made Lu Yan's soul, which had undergone an unparalleled transformation, tremble.

If it were an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, the moment he received this information, his soul would be crushed by the weight of it.

After a long time, Lu Yan finished reading the content of the message and breathed a sigh of relief.

The message sent down by the Heavenly Dao at the end of the world tells the nature of this apocalyptic invasion.

Version invasion undoubtedly poses a huge threat to Tiandao, but it is also an opportunity for Tiandao to leap forward.

This is because version invasion will bring in extraordinary systems that do not belong to this version, thereby improving the energy level of the version.

For example, the sun and the moon in the apocalyptic version that release spiritual energy all the time are the masterpieces of the invasion of the supreme will. The original apocalyptic heaven is simply unable to give birth to such a powerful sun and moon.

If it weren't for these two suns and moons that are of great value to the apocalyptic heaven, how could the Supreme Will invade the apocalyptic version?

It can be said that version invasion is a gamble for Tiandao that puts itself on the line.

If you win the bet, you can upgrade your version of energy and kick the invader out.

But if the bet is lost, the laws of nature will be in chaos and disorder, and then the laws of nature will be in danger of being eroded.

The Way of Heaven in the End Times chose to join this gamble. He and the Supreme Will had fought each other as early as the beginning of the end times.

The Supreme Will seized the lunar moon, and the Heavenly Dao of the end times controlled the sun.

Although zombies occupied large tracts of land at the beginning of the apocalypse, under the threat of the sun's spiritual energy, the zombies could hardly move during the day unless a large-scale zombie tide broke out. This gave the human survivors some chance to breathe.

Humankind is favored by the heavens at the end of the world and has maintained stable development after experiencing the initial chaos.

But as time went by, the Doomsday Heavenly Dao realized that something was wrong.

The spiritual energy in the light of the sun has a restraining effect on zombies, and the spiritual energy of the sun can also strengthen the body and purify magic power, which means that a stable supernatural system can be created.

According to the original plan, the human race should establish a cultivation system based on the spiritual energy of the sun, while the zombies should rely on the spiritual energy of the moon, and both sides have their own complete systems.

Because the Sun is controlled by the Doomsday Heavenly Dao, even if Taiyin undergoes unusual changes in the future, as long as the Sun is stable, it will not affect the foundation of the Doomsday version of cultivation.

There is no need for the Heavenly Dao of the End Times to worry about being cut off by the Supreme Will, which can guide the extraordinary system to fall and thus influence the overall trend of the End Times.

However, Heaven had calculated all the back-up plans of the Supreme Will at the end of the world, but it had not anticipated the changes in people's hearts.

The cultivation system represented by the Great Sun Spiritual Energy is indeed solid and stable. The magic power and the physical body are cultivated together. If one practices to the pinnacle, there may be hope that the physical body can become a saint.

But compared to the way the moonlight aura cleanses the soul and inspires innate magical powers, the system represented by the sun aura seems too thin.

Once one enters the extraordinary system of Moonlight Aura, even a first-level extraordinary being can awaken all kinds of magical extraordinary abilities.

Although most extraordinary abilities are far less powerful than those obtained by purifying magic power and sharpening the body through the Great Sun Spiritual Path in the early stages of cultivation, awakening extraordinary abilities represents the hope of reaching great heights in one step.

Once one acquires powerful supernatural abilities, he will be fully cultivated by all forces. This is far beyond the reach of the Great Sun Spiritual Path.

In addition, after ten years of research by the human survivors, they successfully purified the sun's spiritual energy and obtained the sunstone containing a high concentration of sun's spiritual energy.

Even extraordinary people can use sunstone to purify extraordinary power and increase physical strength.

This result directly led to the complete failure of the original layout of the end-time heaven. The road to awakening innate magical powers with Moonlight Aura has become a smooth road, and no one is willing to spend time studying the Sun Aura anymore.

The imbalance of the extraordinary system caused the scales of victory to begin to tilt towards the Supreme Will, until the appearance of Lu Yan broke this delicate balance.

With the help of the Soul Banner, Lu Yan slaughtered zombies wantonly. Stripping away the zombies' souls directly solved the threat of apocalyptic invasion from the root, and attracted the apocalyptic heaven to bestow merit.

When Lu Yan returned to the apocalyptic version for the second time, he single-handedly influenced the trend of this version invasion. He slaughtered tens of millions of zombies, causing the Supreme Will to have to lower a wisp of its will, but it was still resolved by the apocalyptic heavenly way brought about by Lu Yan's heavenly merits.

Theoretically speaking, the Way of Heaven at the End of the World should have no reason or emotion and should only act in accordance with order and rules. However, in front of Lu Yan who turned the tide, the Way of Heaven at the End of the World broke the rules and bestowed blessings.

The mysterious spiritual light that is integrated into the soul flag is the blessing of heaven at the end of the world.

Before, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, Lu Yan crushed that ray of supreme will with the Soul Continent. The powerful supreme will turned into points of spiritual light and fell into the Soul Banner.

In the explanation of the Way of Heaven in the End Times, those spiritual lights are actually the true spiritual light of the Supreme Will, which has reached the level that can invade the version. The Supreme Will has already possessed a certain degree of immortality.

Even if the will is crushed, as long as the light of the true spirit remains, one day the light of the true spirit will be gathered again, and that ray of supreme will will be able to be reborn.

Seeing this, Lu Yan suddenly felt a little scared.

He knew that a strong man of this level would be difficult to kill, but he didn't expect that just a wisp of will that came down across versions would be so difficult to kill.

The fact that the light of the true spirit actively merged into the soul flag must have been a deliberate design by the supreme will.

If there had not been a reminder from the Heavenly Dao of the End Times, one might have woken up one day to find that the soul flag in his hand had already been taken over by the Supreme Will.

The blessing bestowed by Heaven at the end of the world is to help Lu Yan eradicate hidden dangers and completely wipe out the light of the true spirit.

Inside the Soul Banner, Lu Yan could clearly see the true spirit light that had merged into the depths of the Soul Banner being captured and devoured by the Blessing of Heaven. The spiritual light transformed from the Blessing of Heaven was growing rapidly within the Soul Banner.

As the last bit of true spiritual light was also swallowed up by the blessing of heaven, the spiritual light that gathered thousands of brilliant colors turned into an ancient Taoist text that appeared in the sky above the Soul Continent.

【bright】

The next moment, a huge amount of ghost fog in the Soul Continent rose into the sky, forming a huge black egg that was hundreds of kilometers in size.

It seemed as if there were living creatures breathing inside the giant egg. A huge amount of ghost fog poured into the giant egg, and then turned into pure yin energy and fell into the soul continent, as if it was nurturing something unknown.

Witnessing the changes within the Soul Continent, Lu Yan's eyes were filled with surprise.

“Is this the essence of God’s blessing?”

As the master of the Soul Flag, Lu Yan had a vague premonition in his heart.

Once the things inside the giant egg are successfully conceived, it will inevitably bring about earth-shaking changes to the soul continent inside the soul flag.

From the arrival of the Supreme Will, to Lu Yan’s action and the Heaven’s observation, to the blessing falling and the Heaven’s departure.

These things seemed to take a long time, but in the environment of the resonance of the Great Dao, even the scale of time changed, and time passed in only a short moment.

It was not until this moment that the God of Qiongyuan withdrew his right hand as if waking up from a dream. There was nothing in the broken space under his palm.

The army of the underworld gathered around Lu Yan, as if they were on guard against enemies that might appear at any time.

"My Lord, are you okay?"

Although the God of the Abyss did not leave any memory about the Supreme Will and the Way of the End of the World, the remaining fear in his heart still made him take the initiative to ask.

Lu Yan shook his head, and the proud mentality in his heart due to the formation of the underworld army began to change.

Even though the army of the underworld is able to sweep across the entire apocalypse, it still cannot truly preserve itself in this world where versions are constantly updated.

If the Supreme Will that just invaded the Doomsday version can achieve this level, how terrifying would the Immortal Version be that has occupied and eroded the Demon Version for thousands of years and can even interfere with the version update interface?
Thinking of this, the version update interface appeared in front of Lu Yan.

[Version update progress: 81.3%] There is only more than a month left until the next version update.

“This is far from enough to survive the next version update crisis.

We must use the last month to increase our strength as much as possible to leverage the entire apocalypse version."

Lu Yan suddenly looked into the distance and a stream of light fell into the soul flag. It was the soul flag that Lu Yan had split out before. A message was recorded in the soul flag.

This was the news from the Soul-Dividing Banner. In the entire apocalyptic version, Lu Yan only gave out one Soul-Dividing Banner. There was no doubt that this news came from Guo Ze at the gathering place No. 73.

Looking at the message, there were a few big words clearly written on it.

"A super-large zombie tide has formed."

Lu Yan smiled and turned to the Qiongyuan God and said:

"Get ready and set off back to gathering place No. 73!"

Three days later, at gathering place No. 73, inside the city defense tower.

Li Hao and Guo Ze both looked a little nervous, while Li Kang, who had met Lu Yan once before, paced back and forth in the room, looking up at the window from time to time.

"What should I do? What should I do!"

Uneasy whispers came out of Li Kang's mouth. The expression of this fifth-level transcendent was filled with incredible fear, as if some catastrophic disaster was about to happen.

Guo Ze on the side opened his mouth several times to speak but stopped himself. Finally, Li Hao sighed and said:

"Don't worry, this matter is not your fault.

No one could have imagined that as soon as we sent a message to the envoy, the zombies suddenly started to riot. "

Hearing this, Li Kang squatted down in pain, holding his head with both hands and muttering to himself:

"I am a sinner, I am a sinner!"

Li Hao and Guo Ze, who were standing by, saw this scene and just looked at each other, then sighed in unison.

More than a month ago, they took over Lu Yan's task of attracting a super-large zombie tide, and thus began to study hard how to attract the zombie tide to the maximum extent.

After much investigation and confirmation of the zombie gathering situation, Li Hao decided to start the zombie tide from the Barn Plains area.

The Granary Plain where Gathering No. 73 is located was originally one of the largest granaries before the apocalypse. There are not many cities on the vast Granary Plain, but there are tens of thousands of scattered villages.

After the end of the world, this rich land quickly fell, and zombies roamed everywhere on the Barn Plains.

Even if a large-scale crackdown is carried out to barely clear an area, zombies from other places will soon wander here.

If the Granary Plain where the No. 73 gathering place is located can be cleared and a defense line established, combined with the newly developed pioneering cultivation technology in the gathering place, there is a high probability that food can be grown again on the Granary Plain.

After maintaining a stable food supply, subsequent industrial production can also be guaranteed, and rebuilding civilization is not nonsense.

After more than a month of planning and hard work, relying on Li Kang's extraordinary abilities, he has successfully gathered a super-large tide of zombies of about eight million.

On the vast Barn Plains, there are so many zombies that you can't see the end of them at a glance, and no grass grows wherever the zombies pass.

According to the original plan, Li Kang and others only needed to secretly guide the zombies to slow down, and wait for Lu Yan to return so that they could clear out the super-large zombie tide.

For this purpose, Li Kang and others used the Soul-Dividing Banner to convey the news of success to Lu Yan.

But no one expected that just after they sent the message, the super-large zombie tide originally led by Li Kang suddenly began to riot. At the same time, other zombies on the barn plains also rioted.

More zombies seemed to sense something and crossed dozens of kilometers to join the zombie tide. The number of people in this super-large zombie tide soon exceeded 10 million and soared towards 20 million.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, almost all the zombies have gathered in the corpse tide, and it is almost impossible to count the specific data.

Such a huge number of zombies was far beyond Li Kang's control. Even though he controlled hundreds of zombies through mental links to guide the direction of the zombie tide, it was just a drop in the bucket for this terrifying number of zombies.

The tide of zombies got out of control and moved towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.

The first target of the zombie tide is undoubtedly the gathering place No. 73, which is only tens of kilometers away.

In fact, strictly speaking, the defensive fortifications of Gathering Point No. 73 are extremely strong. The reinforced concrete walls that are 13 meters high and 5 meters thick are enough to block most zombies, not to mention that the walls are also equipped with a large number of thermal weapons.

Even if there are millions of zombies attacking the city, Li Hao is confident that he can cooperate with the extraordinary people in the gathering place to defend it.

However, this time the super-large zombie tide has already exceeded all the zombie tides seen before and has reached the level of a natural disaster.

Even if the lowest level zombies have no intelligence, their corpses alone are enough to forcibly flatten the 13-meter-high city wall, not to mention that there must be a ninth-level zombie king in such a terrifying zombie tide.

Li Hao was very confident in the underworld army under Lu Yan's command, but facing such a horrific natural disaster, he couldn't help but raise questions in his heart.

"Can a few thousand underworld soldiers really stop this horrific corpse disaster?"

But as a representative of the underworld, Li Hao certainly couldn't show it directly, so he could only say soothingly:

"Don't worry, the army of the underworld under the command of the envoy will definitely be able to deal with the tide of corpses."

At this moment, the sentry who was using a telescope to scout in the distance suddenly shouted:
"The tide of corpses is coming!"

Under the dusk skyline, the endless tide of zombies covered the entire plain, like a dark sea of ​​death.

Rotting flesh and blood spread to the end of the sight, tens of millions of corpses staggered forward, and a gust of wind blew the stench in the air like a wave, making the soldiers guarding the city wall almost vomit.

The rotting corpses roared, although over a long period of time, the vocal cords of most zombies had rotted away, so even if they roared, the sound was only as loud as an ordinary person's voice.

But in the face of such a terrifying number, the hoarse roars gathered into a terrifying tide, like the roar of an ancient beast, shaking the earth. Every step they took made the land tremble. Countless dry arms stretched out in the twilight, as if they were going to tear the sky apart.

A zombie fell down among the crowd of corpses. Before it could get up from the ground, the corrupt bodies that followed one after another trampled it into a pulp.

Faced with such a huge scale, the originally scarce extraordinary zombies are enough to form an army.

Thousands of stitched abominations moved their five-meter-tall bodies, and several distorted faces on their bodies let out angry roars.

Huge flesh-and-blood zombies were piled up layer upon layer, and massive amounts of flesh and blood gathered together to form wriggling meat mountains tens of meters high.

"Boom!"

In front of the natural disaster zombie tide, thousands of mines had been laid within ten kilometers of the gathering place. The violent explosions and flames blew away a large number of zombies. At least tens of thousands of zombies were killed in the explosions in the minefield.

However, in the face of the natural disaster and the tide of zombies, this little loss was like a small ripple in a pond, which quickly returned to calm after just causing a few waves.

The casualties caused by landmines are not even as many as the zombies who fell and were trampled into pieces during their advance.

In the original design, this minefield was supposed to stop the zombies for half an hour. But the reality was that this minefield did not stop the zombies for even a second.

As the distance got closer, the atmosphere of doomsday spread throughout the entire gathering place.

On the city wall, the brave soldiers had just clenched their guns, but as they looked at the endless tide of zombies, their spirits collapsed instantly.

In the gathering place, some people shouted at Li Hao, while others claimed that this was the punishment of doomsday for humans trying to rebuild civilization.

Even Li Hao, the most optimistic person, was filled with despair at this moment.

The helpless people began to pray to the gods to send down their divine power to drive away the natural disaster and the tide of zombies before them.

Among the crowd, someone took out an altar, on which was carved a vague statue of a god wearing black clothes and holding a soul flag.

When the others saw this scene, they also knelt down and kowtowed to the crude statue, hoping to pray for a little spiritual comfort.

In the midst of this panic, someone finally couldn't stand the despair before them anymore.

A sturdy young man rushed into the crowd of worshippers, grabbed the blurry statue with an angry look, and shouted loudly:
"You just worship God all day long. Is this God really going to come and save you?"

Just as the young man tried to smash down the statue, the sky seemed to be torn apart, and a huge space crack appeared above gathering place No. 73.

Then, six hundred ghost generals and six thousand ghost soldiers stepped on the gloomy ghost fog and descended over the gathering place surrounded by the tide of corpses.

And at the top of the underworld army, Lu Yan stood proudly holding the soul flag.

"God is coming! God is really coming!"

The crowd cheered fiercely. Someone snatched the statue and put it back on the altar, then yelled at the sturdy young man:
"You idiot, put down the statue and kowtow to the gods!"

The sturdy young man stammered, and after a while he said, "Even though he's here, he may not be able to eliminate these zombies."

The words of the sturdy young man also expressed the thoughts of everyone in the gathering place.

Although the ghost soldiers and generals of the underworld are powerful, they are too insignificant in the face of the tens of millions of zombies caused by natural disasters.

In the watchtower, Li Haoxin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was now nervous. He was also unsure whether Lu Yan had any cards that could help him contact the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

In his eyes, these ghost soldiers would never be able to resist the zombie tide that was thousands times larger than them.

No one could see that Lu Yan, who was high in the sky, was staring at the tide of zombies from the natural disaster without any fear in his eyes.

In his eyes, there was only desire for the upcoming great harvest.
