I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 70 Follow-up
How exactly did Li Jun with double pupils kill Zhulong?

Just how strong is he?

"Is Li Jun really a person, or is he really the reincarnation of a deity from ancient mythology?"

"If this is true, who was Li Jun's previous incarnation? Does he know who he is the reincarnation of and possess memories of his past life?"

"Zhou Shentong said that the ancient immortals and gods will return one by one. Is Li Jun the first ancient immortal or god to return?"

Where is Li Jun?

Zhulong is dead, the shadow of death has receded, and the world has fallen into a temporary period of revelry.

The sun rose as usual, and it seemed that everything had returned to normal.

But it didn't end there.

Some people have begun to target the Eastern Kingdom, demanding that it disclose all information about the Gate Base and open up its technology and power to create superhumans.

Some people have set their sights on the Temple of Immortality, hoping that the summit of the Non-Human Association in Dushuo City will be fully open, hoping to obtain a ticket to the extraordinary world at this meeting, so that they can sit at the table in the next extraordinary era that is about to begin, instead of being put on the table.

And on the Internet.

The whole world is searching for Li Jun with double pupils.

However, no one knew where Li Jun was; he had disappeared completely once again.

Nangang City.

Lu Gang was ordered not to leave Taoshan Island, where he carried out a brief secret mission. This restriction was finally lifted with the death of Zhulong.

He passed through the "door" and returned to the base in Nangang City.

As the elevator ascended, he appeared on the ground and saw the outside world.

“I’m finally back.”

Looking at the sun outside, Lu Gang was even a little moved. No one knows what will happen in the future. Only when a crisis comes can even a glance at the sun become precious.

Next, Lu Gang went to see someone.

"Zheng Shiliang!"

Through the glass window, Lu Gang could see that the other person was undergoing rigorous training.

Regardless, the other party is also a seed of extraordinary power, capable of providing diversity to their power, although the more precious thing is the sacrificial artifact he brought back.

Next, Lu Gang originally wanted to take a look at the sacrificial artifact that inherited the contract of life and death reincarnation, but now, even he could no longer easily see it.

Even querying its name requires multiple layers of authorization.

Its importance has been elevated to the extreme because of that plan.

Lu Gang did not see such a ritual artifact, and shortly after returning to the "Gate" base, he was immediately given another mission.

He pushed open the door and saw his old boss again.

The other party also saw the joy on Lu Gang's face as he returned to the real world, and congratulated him while saying something.

"We cannot let our guard down. Although Zhulong is dead, the three demon gods he transformed into after his death are still alive, and they are no less dangerous than Zhulong."

Lu Gang sat down and said, "It can't be any more troublesome than Zhulong, can it? Let's take it one step at a time!"

Having experienced the crisis of Zhulong, it seems that people's limits of endurance have also been raised.

After a few casual words, the other party finally got to the point.

"The plan you mentioned cannot be separated from a key person."

Lu Gang sat up straight; he knew, of course, who the other person was referring to.

"Li Jun!"

The other party said, "But we can't find him anywhere. We can't contact him at all. He disappeared after killing Zhulong. We don't know if he is in the almost vanished Zhangwei Mountain, the ever-growing Beiming, or has returned to our side."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Gang said, "I might know where he is!"

The other party said, "We guessed that too, but ordinary people can't get into that place."

Lu Gang: "I'll go there!"
-
Taoshan Island.

It seems like not too long has passed, but the recent crisis on Taoshan Island has deepened the situation.

Needless to say, the depths of Taoshan Island are transformed into an altar. In ancient terms, it is more like a kingdom of mountains and seas.

The peach grove made the anomalies inside increasingly obvious.

Space is disorienting; it seems to remain the same size, but the interior space grows ever larger. Each exploration makes one feel that the previous exploration and records have become largely useless.

The fog can make people lose their way; once inside, normal senses become completely ineffective.

All sorts of strange and bizarre figures are born inside, just like the demons and monsters in myths and legends. Ordinary people have no chance of survival if they go in.

However, there is a dock separated from it by a wall.

This dock is no longer just a dock; it looks more like a structure that is being built from top to bottom into a near-three-dimensional city, and many people have already moved in.

After Lu Gang appeared here, everyone here knew him.

They bowed to him.

"Team Leader Lu!"

"Team Leader Lu!"

"Team leader..."

Lu Gang was promoted from deputy to full-fledged official, but he wasn't very happy about it.

Every time he heard the word "team leader," it reminded him of Luo Zhen.

He arrived at an entrance.

On both sides are huge high walls that separate the entire dock area from Taoshan Island, and in front of it is a sluice gate that looks like a dam.

This is the only entrance into the labyrinthine depths of Taoshan Island, and everything around it is locked to isolate the outside world from the inside.

To prevent the contents from escaping, people from the outside are also prohibited from entering this dangerous area.

At that moment, the gate opened with a tremendous roar, indicating that opening the gate was no easy task.

As it was opened, the thick fog inside began to leak out, like a torrent of water covering the sky.

The fog seemed to have weight as well, and as the gate opened, it gave the feeling that the gate was being pressed down and trembling.

Every time this gate opens and closes, it puts the outside world on high alert.

"Put on protective goggles."

"Confirm the coordinates."

"Now begin counting off."

"Timer..."

Lu Gang walked against the thick fog, heading deeper into the fog.

He was all alone.

This time, he wasn't going in to explore or do anything; he was just going in to meet someone.

The last time he came in, he could still see some traces of the building, though not many.

But this time, he saw that everything belonging to Taoshan Island seemed to have disappeared, completely transformed into an ancient and wild landscape.

In the deepest part.

He could even vaguely see mountains rising and falling inside.

The mountain was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was on it, but it was certain that there was a large mountain in front of it.

"How can this be?"

When Lu Gang stood at the foot of the mountain, he wondered if he had been teleported to another place. Taoshan Island was just a small island, so where did such a big mountain come from?

But as you walk forward and turn back, the shadow of the mountains disappears again, and everything seems to have returned to normal.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear the drumbeats and songs of a sacrificial ceremony.

I don't know who the drummer is, but the singer must be a woman.

"who is it?"

He looked around for the singing woman, but when he looked up, he found himself standing under the shadow of a huge golden tree, with a figure entwined in the roots beneath it.

The other person said, "I'm here."

Lu Gang saw Li Jun again and said, "So you really have come back here again."

Li Jun said, "There's always a price to pay; isn't that how it always is?"

These words immediately reminded Lu Gang of himself. He didn't know how many more times he could use the power of the peach tree, but the recent abnormality in his body made him feel increasingly dangerous.

In the dead of night, he often dreamed that he had turned into a peach tree and returned to this peach grove.

If he hadn't become a lich, he probably wouldn't have lasted much longer.

However, Lu Gang shook his head; he hadn't come in to discuss such trivial personal matters.

He then said, "Can we talk about the Jedi-Sky Connection Plan you mentioned before?"

Li Jun asked him, "Is that sacrificial artifact still there?"

Lu Gang said, "Of course I am."

Li Jun: "This ritual artifact inherits the oldest reincarnation contract from ancient times. However, things are different in ancient times than they are now. You should naturally make new changes in this new era as well."

Lu Gang asked, "How exactly will the new changes be implemented?"

This is different from the last time I talked about this plan.

This time, Li Jun not only proposed this plan, but also personally built a Netherworld Reincarnation Kingdom in ancient times, and personally created a system for the collection and reincarnation of Yin Souls.

Li Jun immediately explained his method for building the Mountain and Sea Kingdom, and Lu Gang took out his equipment to record it.

Finally, Li Jun said.

"In ancient times, the purpose of the Netherworld Reincarnation was to collect the souls of the dead and to allow people to reincarnate." "What you need to do now is to use this contract of life and death reincarnation to gradually build a kingdom of mountains and seas and cultivate a group of extraordinary individuals for this system."

"Then, using them, along with this mountain and sea kingdom and the sacrificial artifacts, we will strip away the power of all the real-world superhumans and banish them all to this space."

"Taoshan Island, Dushuo City, Beiming, or even a lower level of space."

"This system is not used to reclaim ghosts, but to reclaim information stripped of supernatural power."

Lu Gang listened and thought at the same time.

He asked, "Would this completely sever the connection between heaven and earth?"

Li Jun: "Of course, it can't be accomplished overnight, but the fewer extraordinary beings there are in the world, the harder it will be for those demon gods and those with extraordinary powers to enter the world."

Lu Gang: "Why is that?"

Li Jun: "As long as no extraordinary figures appear in reality, even if those demon gods who are immersed in the lower levels of this world are revived, they will not be able to break through this barrier and enter the real world."

"Moreover, the more power they need to enter the real world, the more seeds they need. Even one or two extraordinary individuals with their power can hardly play a full role."

Lu Gang understood somewhat: "I understand. So we need to strip away the power of the superhumans in reality, or completely send them into this world."

Li Jun said under the tree, "That's right. Those who belong to the human world belong to the human world. Those who are extraordinary or want to have power, just throw them all in here. This is the secret passage between heaven and earth."

In this regard.

Lu Gang finally understood the core of the plan and knew what to do next.

He had a general understanding of the principle, but he didn't know the specific secrets of the Mountain and Sea Kingdom. That was the most crucial core.

And at this moment, he finally got it from Li Jun.

Lu Gang was overjoyed. After such a long period of darkness, it seemed that many things were about to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

But at that moment, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lu Gang couldn't help but ask, "Any further news?"

The shadow under the tree spoke: "That's all I can think of for now."

Lu Gang then asked, "You said before that some terrifying beings would awaken one after another, so what will appear next?"

Li Jun said, "As I said before, you should have already prepared yourselves mentally."

Lu Gang nodded: "That's right, but... what will appear next?"

In ancient times.

After the Zhulong was revived, Li Jun saw that the Great Wilderness was full of demons and gods.

Li Jun had actually known about this scene before, but he saw it more clearly during his last trip to the ancient wilderness.

that period of time.

What Li Jun saw was a wild world where countless demon gods were scattered all over the land. They changed the entire Great Wilderness, and the human race of the Great Wilderness was also adapting to them.

However, in ancient times, the statement that humans were the protagonists of the land or the world did not exist. Humans were scattered in various places on the land, struggling to survive.

After the appearance of the demon god, the hundred races of the Great Wilderness quickly adapted to this change and became part of them. They gradually formed a symbiotic system in which humans, witches, monsters, and demons depended on and were subservient to them for survival.

However, this ancient shamanistic system cannot be fully applied in the modern world.

Li Jun: "I don't know what will happen next, but it's possible that there will be more than one or two."

As Lu Gang heard the scene described by Li Jun, his face grew increasingly grim. A tremendous pressure weighed on his heart, leaving him speechless for a long time, unsure of what to ask.

Finally, he asked, "Approximately how many? A few? Ten?"

Li Jun said, "Countless."

When Lu Gang left, you could see that his steps were unusually heavy.

And under the peach tree.

Li Jun watched Lu Gang leave, then looked down at himself.

"We must create a sacrificial vessel!"

"It would be even better if there were a fourth stage, but unfortunately it's not that simple."

Being stuck here like this isn't a good thing, so he started looking for ways to solve his problems.

Regarding Peach Demon Maiden and Priestess, they are different from him in ancient times who possessed the body of an emperor and the demon god Qingniao.

There are still many places in this world where he needs the power of the Peach Demon.

and so.

He planned to create a ritual artifact, and even wanted to forge a fourth-stage ritual artifact, so that he could fully master and unleash the power of the spirits.

And such power.

It's barely enough.

The object he chose for the first sacrificial vessel was naturally the Peach Demon Woman.

By mastering the power of the demon goddess Peach Demoness, he could break free from his constraints and roam freely across the land.

Moreover, based on his previous experience, he could also freely use the power of the Peach Demon Priestess through checks and balances.

Although the method was somewhat shameful, he no longer possessed the power of the ancient times, and his aura no longer seemed as transcendent and superior.

However, Li Jun has not yet made a move.

As the peach-ghost woman emerged from the thick fog and hovered around him, Li Jun's gaze pierced through her body, and he sensed something.

"There are sacrificial vessels now?"

"Who created me from ancient times?"

Thinking about this, Li Jun thought of even more things.

"No wonder."

"Whether it is the Peach Demoness or the Priestess, they only exist in this peach forest transformed from the Peach Tree of the Demon God, but their original forms have disappeared."

"They only had the ghostly bodies representing their own power and the golden tree shadows; they did not see the peach tree itself."

"It must have transformed into something else a very, very long time ago."

Li Jun then delved deeper into the matter.

He looked at Tao Gui Nu Shao, and at the same time, the ghost-god contract he had made with her in ancient times came into play, and he immediately sensed something.

"where is it?"

"If there are any ritual artifacts, I should be able to find them."

Before Li Jun could sense anything, the hazy shadow in the mist in front of him moved.

Li Jun looked up and saw that Tao Gui Nu Shao was pointing out of Tao Shan Island.

He followed the woman's hand and looked over.

In the void that drifts across Taoshan Island, something seems to be rising from the endless darkness and emptiness below.

"what?"

"Where is it?"
-
Lu Gang didn't sleep all night.

He held a secret meeting, where he confirmed everything.

"Project Jedi-Sky Connection is launched."

Lu had just returned to her place and hadn't even had time to dry her face after washing it when a phone call came in.

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Team leader, have you seen the news?"

Lu Gang was taken aback: "What news?"

The message was quickly sent to his phone.

Lu Gang turned on his phone.

on video.

A thick bolt of lightning, powerful enough to invigorate anyone, struck down from the sky, its light and sound instantly waking Lu Gang from his sleepiness.

In the video, you can see dark clouds covering the distant sky, and lightning strikes down in layers, reaching an abnormal level.

And this is just the beginning.

The real action begins now.

Amidst the thunder, a shadow slowly emerged.

That thing actually had nine heads, and they were human heads. Its body was as big as a small mountain.

The moment it appeared, the person filming and those around it screamed, and some people started to run away, but the person filming persisted and finished filming.

But soon the lightning gradually disappeared, and the monster slowly drifted away.

Disappear.

Lu Gang had never seen this before, but recently he had been learning about ancient myths and reading various records about ancient monsters and gods.

Upon seeing this, Lu Gang immediately made his connection.

"Enlightened Beast?"

A sentence even popped into my mind.

"The Enlightened Beast is large, like a tiger, with nine heads, all of which have human faces. It stands facing east on Kunlun Mountain."

Indeed, the other party looked exactly like the Kaiming Beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Then, Lu Gang picked up his phone and made the call.

Ask the other person, "Where was this found?"

The other party replied, "In the Kingdom of Xituo."
