Chapter 756 The Secret of the Origin
In the ninth base city, the Forest battleship that Lin Rui was riding on was slowly entering the port with the help of a tugboat and sailing into the Forest Group's dedicated dock base.

The alien body of the goddess Ao Yu had been released from the restraint cabin by Lin Rui. She moved her body and wrists, looking at Lin Rui with a slightly resentful look in her eyes.

This bastard tricked her into becoming extremely self-righteous, but in the end he didn't give her any face at all. Not only did he tie her up, he also nailed 300 Zhenyuan nails into her body, and even blocked her mouth.

At this time, Lin Rui looked a little disappointed.

The ally that Ao Yu mentioned was not the financial emperor Yi Duxing as he thought, but three powerful god-level warriors from Purgatory.

Lin Rui has already sent Liu Xinlan and others to pursue and kill them, to see if they can capture and kill them. However, because there is another Purgatory Abyss standing behind these three people, their alien bodies cannot achieve the unity of soul and flesh, so Liu Xinlan and others can only severely damage their souls and cannot take their lives.

Lin Rui secretly shook his head, thinking that he still had to find another way to capture and kill Yi Duxing and Zang Shaochen's "Star Wolf Pirate Fleet".

He has not yet been able to find Yi Duxing's hiding place, while Zang Shaochen is traveling around the starry sky on his high-speed battleship. Although Lin Rui has been watching them for a long time, he is still helpless.

"So what does the Central Abyss say about the Southern Abyss?"

Goddess Ao Yu glared at Lin Rui and sneered, "If you can cultivate a different body for my Father and Mother Goddesses, then everything will be easy to discuss."

Ao Yu didn't know how to evaluate this guy's courage and ambition.

Just as they reached the intention of cooperation, Lin Rui set her sights on the Abyss of the South, wanting to use the power of her father and mother goddess to attack the Abyss of the South.

This is simply audacious and greedy, like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Lin Rui curled his lips, thinking, "Am I an idiot to do such a stupid thing?" Cultivating a different body for the goddess Ao Yu was his bottom line.

This is an 'Extreme Immortality' who is close to the quasi-abyss. Once she has a complete alien body, she will have no rivals in the Earth Federation except Lin Rui.

What if the two 'Abyss of the Middle' also developed different forms? The battle for the Sky Curtain is practically settled.

Lin Rui shook his head and could only settle for the next best thing: "What about Lihe Tianzun? With the abilities of the two Divine Lords and the Great Sitian of Zhongzhou, it shouldn't be difficult to find the whereabouts of Lihe Tianzun's remaining spirit, right?"

He had just bargained with the goddess Ao Yu and obtained the base materials for three artificial skylights that could accommodate 5 million people.

However, this is a strange body made for the goddess Ao Yu, the kind that can achieve "unity of soul and body".

Since it is a cooperation, both parties should show sincerity.

"The Grand Astronomical Master will help you find the trace of Lihe Tianzun."

Ao Yu's eyes were deep as he thought of the separation and combination method of 'Lihe Tianzun' and the Wuji Dao of 'Wuji Daozun'. Was this related to Lin Rui's fundamental martial arts intention?

Is he preparing to conceptualize martial spirit?

Speaking of which, since Lin Rui's rise to power, no one has ever known what Lin Rui's fundamental martial arts intentions are.

Before, everyone thought that his martial spirit was either light or thunder, or a positive martial arts power, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Ao Yu's mind raced with thoughts, but his expression remained calm. "But you have to show us the value. My Father and Mother Goddesses hope that the expansion plan for the Ninth Base City can be replicated in other base cities as soon as possible. I also hope that the Federal Congress can pass bills to attract immigrants as soon as possible."

Lin Rui frowned and rubbed his forehead. "I will do my best to implement it, but Your Highness, you understand the Federation. You should know how great the resistance is! I'm afraid the other gods won't sit idly by."

"So what?" Ao Yu sneered. "The gods of the Celestial Extremes have an agreement. Before the sky curtain is built, no one, from the gods themselves to the masters of the First Realm Sutra, can enter the Demonic Homeland in their original form. And now, among the fourteen Demonic Homelands, your military power, Lin Rui, is the leader. If you want to do something, who can stop you?"

His father and mother gods were suppressing and intercepting them in the sky. Not to mention the immortals and those below them, even those in the quasi-abyss and demigods could not cross the line.

As for the gods, they were pulled back by the roots and the sky, and could not go to the Demonic Homeland in their original form.

The sky curtain cannot stop the demon's quantum trance.

But now, even the Immortality Society can only achieve 30% to 50% unity of soul and body for immortal-level alien bodies.

Therefore, with Lin Rui's military power, no matter what he wants to do, it will be difficult for other forces in the Federation to stop him.

Lin Rui smiled and shook his head slightly. "The situation in the Federation is extremely complicated. Your Highness the Goddess may have said it simply, but actually implementing it will be extremely difficult."

For example, those low-level civil servants in the federal government will not confront you head-on, nor do they have the ability to do so, but they have thousands of ways to delay the government's progress.

He saw that the goddess Ao Yu was about to speak again, but she had lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Lin Rui waved his hand. "Your Highness, whether it's expanding the city or attracting immigrants, Ranran and I will fully implement it. Your Highness will see clearly then. Xueying, take Her Highness off the ship and have Lin Guangming arrange a suitable place for her to rest. Instruct your subordinates to make Her Highness feel at home and not to be rude."

Not only was this person his partner, he also paid for it. The base materials for three artificial skylights that could accommodate 5 million people had a current market price of at least 80000 billion federal coins.

Currently, the prices of various materials related to artificial skylights are rising, reaching 1.5 times what they were a year ago. However, from the perspective of the Abyss, they naturally hope for the artificial skylight to be as large as possible, so they are not at a disadvantage.

Ao Yu frowned, then snorted in dissatisfaction and followed Ji Xueying out.

But before leaving the bridge of the Forest battleship, Ao Yu glanced at Shi Yan beside him and said, "Your Excellency, please be careful. Taixuan Immortal Venerable has completely fallen into the abyss of the origin. Who knows what this so-called resurrection from the ancient times, awakening from the roots, is?"

Shi Yan turned her head and looked at the goddess Ao Yu, but her expression was silent and she didn't say anything.

However, after Ao Yu left, Shi Yan turned around and said to Lin Rui, "Actually, she's right. Everything that comes from the root must be guarded against."

"Oh?" Lin Rui narrowed his eyes, and finally asked thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, I have come into contact with the true spirit of the Wuji Daozun, who was completely eroded by the root. I feel that this Wuji Daozun is very strange. How should I put it? It feels like he is possessed by an evil spirit and is acting completely on instinct.

Also, I feel that although it has inherited the sword art and conceptual power of Wuji Dao Zun, it is unable to truly control and utilize them, and seems to be very unsuited to our world."

He looked at Shi Yan curiously. "Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable has been revered in the world for 63,000 years. He must have a deep understanding of the root cause and know it in detail. Could you explain this to me?"

"Actually, before I woke up this time, I didn't know much about the origin, and I had no idea what it was."

Shi Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It was not until I woke up this time that I discovered that the state of my true spirit was different. After reading the papers of those scholars of yours, I suddenly realized it.

I think that the so-called root could indeed be a living 'space', a living 'world'. The abysses eroded by the root might really be the return of the dead. The 'root' copied the imprint of a certain race's consciousness onto our true spirits, trying to revive this extinct ascended race in this way.

The Light of Purgatory is evidence of this. Haven't your scientists discovered that the so-called Light of Purgatory emitted by the Root actually contains a large amount of genetic information? It even has a complete set of genetic templates, the purpose of which is to encourage the creatures of Tianji Star to evolve towards this genetic template.

The problem is that the Ascended race is too powerful. Their individual strength is equivalent to that of an Abyss. No matter how the genes of the Celestial Pole creatures evolve, they can never reach the heights of this race."

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows and looked towards the Tianji Star through the porthole.

Shi Yan continued, "After my true spirit was eroded by the Origin, although it inherited my memories and conceptual power, its thinking patterns are completely different from mine. It longs to restore its body and to escape from the Origin and the Sky Curtain. However, it lacks intelligence, cannot think, has no plans, and does not know how to use my power. Like a wild beast, it relies entirely on instinct. It is truly not adapted to this world."

Therefore, Immortal Taixuan could not allow Shi Yan to be corroded by his true spirit, nor did he want his residual spirit to merge with his true spirit.

"Long ago on Tianji Star, there were actually several 'Abysses' who emerged from the Root and the Sky Curtain after being eroded by the Root. However, it is said that they were extremely stupid, like wooden men, and only used their bodies when fighting.

However, according to reliable historical records, every time one of them emerges from the source and the celestial tent, it triggers a massive catastrophe between heaven and earth, deforming the flesh and blood of countless creatures and even causing the fall of gods. I've come into contact with the Dreamy Heavenly Venerable, and he once told me personally that the fall of several ancient God Kings was related to the abyss revived from these roots."

Shi Yan paused, her brow furrowed. "Also, as you scholars have concluded, the Root is learning and adapting. Long ago, those gods contaminated by the Root couldn't even use conceptual power, but now they can use concepts and seem to have developed basic thinking."

Lin Rui nodded slightly. This was exactly the consensus gradually formed by the top scholars of the Federation.

They believe that this 'root' and 'ascended race' are products from another dimension, and they are gradually adapting to the current world and integrating into it.

"The most terrifying thing about the Root is its pull and interference with fate. All living beings on Tianji Star, once connected to the Root, will slide towards the Root under the guidance of fate. Do you see those whirlpools on the sky? Each abyss is a huge vortex, causing so many stars of destiny such as Shentong, Tongtian, and Shenzhao to revolve around them. But we are actually also pitiful creatures, attracted by the Root, and ultimately unable to escape the fate of falling into the Root."

Shi Yan smiled bitterly: "So for hundreds of thousands of years, the gods have been looking for ways to save themselves. They discovered the function of the Sky Curtain. Although the Sky Curtain is the product of the combination of human thoughts and the Yuan Spirit of Heaven and Earth, which is what you call the 'ether element', it actually comes from the root, but it can help the gods resist the fate of the root.

They discovered that the larger the population, the larger the sky would be, and the more abysses it could accommodate. However, being big alone was useless. The politics also needed to be clear and the people's hearts needed to be pure and orderly. Otherwise, not only would it not help them fight the root cause, but it would accelerate their decline.

Furthermore, the speed at which the Root absorbs is limited. Whenever an Abyss truly falls and is completely tainted by the Root, the Root's power over the gods is greatly reduced. Therefore, while they strive to crush other Abysses, they also use various methods to strengthen their presence within the sky and enhance the divine power of their True Spirits.

She spoke calmly, "Initially, the gods established various religions on Tianji Star based on faith. This approach was initially effective, leveraging the powerful faith of all beings to effectively combat the root cause. However, the same old problem persisted. Over time, the sects became corrupted, and the minds of the believers became chaotic, which in turn caused their true spirits and divine wills to scatter, making it impossible to consolidate themselves."

Lin Rui thought that this was the reason why, although the five abysses of Tianji Star had established sects and built temples in various places, they never took the initiative to preach.

They will accept those who are truly devout believers, and will let non-believers go their own way, completely letting things take their course.

"Later, the gods began to pass on their legacy. As long as their concepts of martial spirit still circulated in this world, their true spirits would not be completely polluted. Among the more successful ones were the 'Shenfu Tianzun' who created the method of formation talismans, the 'Lingbao Tianzun' who created various magical instruments, the 'Qinghua Tianzun' who created elixirs, and the 'Wude Tianzun' who controlled the forces of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and so on."

Lin Rui smiled slightly. Among them was the 'Taixuan Tianzun' who created magic and sword-controlling techniques.

The previous Wuji Daozun actually wanted to take this path.

“However, inheritance is easily destroyed, and the true spirit cannot be fully preserved. Later, there were beings like the Divine Law Heavenly Venerable and the Jade Blood Heavenly Venerable, who relied on the imperial system and the laws of governance, almost becoming transcendent beings.

Or like the Lord of Retribution, who relied on a large range of simple faith and the power of cause and effect, or like the Lord of Dreams, who hid in people's spiritual dreams and reached the state of half-step transcendence. However, these so-called half-step transcendence methods all had their own flaws. For example, the Lord of Dreams completely gave up his physical body. The Lord of Divine Law and the Lord of Blue Blood had less and less self-will. Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing as the Goddess of Divine Law appear?
Furthermore, they are still being pulled by their fundamental destiny and have not completely transcended it. Once all living things in the world are extinct, once the existing order in the human world is destroyed, they will still slide into the abyss—"

Lin Rui was listening intently when he received a message on his smart terminal bracelet.

Tan Shenzhi: My Lord, right? I want to see you now.

After reading this message, Lin Rui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This is his No. 5 war spirit - Tan Shenzhi, the 222nd Chief Astrologer of the Mechanical Temple!
