I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"this……"

Watching Xu Qingmeng pinch her face and then her hair, Lu Yun felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"It's a long story, but to put it simply, I opened the path to divinity and merged with the physical body of an ancient god, which is why my appearance changed."

"Ancient gods? Merged into a physical body?"

After hearing this, Xu Qingmeng covered her mouth in surprise.

She is no longer the same person she used to be. Since inheriting the divine legacy, she has developed a concept of the divine.

The fact that it is labeled with the word "ancient" indicates that this deity is far more complex than the deities they have encountered.

But Lu Yun said that he had fused with the body of a god, which was simply unbelievable.

Seeing her surprised and bewildered expression, Lu Yun quickly put his arm around her waist.

"This isn't the place to talk. Leave the matters to Lord Wen. Let's find a place to rest. I'll tell you about what's happened to me these past few days."

Xu Qingmeng nodded repeatedly, very curious about this. She called in her subordinates, gave them some instructions, and then quickly took Lu Yun back to the manor.

The two sat on the swings under the pavilion. Xu Qingmeng leaned against Lu Yun's chest, tugging at his clothes and speaking softly.

"Alright, tell me quickly, what have you been through these past few days? How could you possibly merge with the body of a god?"

Lu Yun smiled and, while swinging on the swing, told Xu Qingmeng about the things that had happened in the past few days.

He mentioned Dragon City and the fragments of the Divine Fire Continent, which always made Xu Qingmeng exclaim in surprise, feeling amazed.

When Xu Qingmeng heard that Lu Yun had encountered a place similar to a cultivation sect in a TV drama, she was so surprised that she was speechless.

However, compared to that, she was more interested in Sifang City, after all, it was the first "alien" civilization encountered on Blue Star, and Xu Qingmeng's eyes lit up the more she listened.

However, when she heard Lu Yun say that it was no different from the Dragon Kingdom and that they came from the same source, she was quite disappointed. In her words, she thought that strange aliens really lived there.

Lu Yun was both amused and exasperated by this.

Xu Qingmeng's expression grew increasingly serious as Lu Yun brought up the matter of Zhaixing's corpse.

Upon hearing about the concept of the world, she was even more shocked, her face tightening as she found it absurd.

"The world is so big..."

"Yes, we can no longer leave our skies, so no one knows what the situation is like in the universe. But even so, the vast universe is probably not as big as the Divine Fire Continent."

Xu Qingmeng nodded in shock, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"If this is a small world, how vast must the boundaries of this world be? Boundless?"

"Probably about right."

No one has ever seen it, and naturally, no one can describe it.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then looked up at Lu Yun.

"And what about that corpse? How did you manage to merge with his body?"

Lu Yun paused, thought for a moment, and then said.

"To be precise, it wasn't fusion, but rather I absorbed his energy."

"The ancient gods specialized in cultivating the physical body and the soul. All their energy came from the physical body and the soul. In essence, gods like them did not have the concept of a physical body; their entire being was constructed of energy."

"His soul has died, and the physical body he left behind is like a giant battery. He recognized me and gave me his inheritance and mark, so he also gave me that battery. That's why I said it wasn't fusion, but absorption."

Xu Qingmeng suddenly realized what Lu Yun meant.

"That's certainly true, but with such a massive body, wouldn't even a simple movement consume a tremendous amount of energy? How do they cultivate? Are they like us? Does every movement of theirs consume a lot of mana?"

Lu Yun shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

"No, they cultivate by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon. All things have energy, and they can absorb it all. They don't need to cultivate; they just need to do what they want. That's why their bodies are so large. As for mana? They don't have mana bars."

"No blue bar? That's amazing..."

Xu Qingmeng was quite surprised. She had never seen such a race before. There were pure physical demon races, but they all had mana bars. This corpse, however, did not...

"Therefore, their ethnic population is very small, and their ethnic names are all chosen by themselves."

Xu Qingmeng was taken aback, and asked in bewilderment.

"Name their race after themselves? That...doesn't that mean they have such a small population? What about the others? Would they even agree to that?"

Lu Yun looked at her and smiled.

"There is no question of willingness or unwillingness, because their race consists of only one person."

"One person? Really? Then... how do they reproduce?"

"The ancient gods were all single beings. Their lifespans were nearly infinite. Some felt they were tired of living, while others felt their time had come. Of course, there were also some unexpected situations. When they decided to die, they would disperse their souls and bodies and hide their racial imprints, or rather, their inheritance imprints, in a place they had chosen in advance."

"Once the mark has absorbed enough energy from heaven and earth, it will form an egg, which will then hatch and give birth to new members of the ancient god race. In addition to inheriting the legacy and cultivation methods of the previous generation from the mark, they will also gain some memories and knowledge, but in themselves... they will already be a new person."

"That's amazing?"

Xu Qingmeng was full of surprise; this was the first time she had ever heard such a statement.

"Indeed, the world is full of wonders. One person is a race, and they can even reproduce in this way..."

Seemingly remembering something, Xu Qingmeng looked at Lu Yun with curiosity.

"So what do they do on a daily basis? Just eat and sleep?"

No need to train or grind monsters, you can become stronger just by lying down – it's practically the invincible dream of many.

But... this question really stumped Lu Yun.

"Well... I only got a stone tablet, the inscription is incomplete, and the memories are incomplete, so I don't know what he does on a daily basis."

The greatest function of this stone tablet is to transform divine bodies and to identify objects. It contains very few accompanying memories, and almost all of them are basic cognitive questions.

In Lu Yun's view, it was more like an introductory book.

His daily memories were only fragments, mostly of him eating, traveling, or enjoying the scenery, which were of no use.

However, Xu Qingmeng's mention of this reminded Lu Yun of something.

"When I was trying to comprehend the inheritance within the mark, I also discovered a problem."

Xu Qingmeng was taken aback, and tilted her head curiously to look at him.

"What's the problem? Even you can't figure it out?"

Lu Yun shook his head.

"No, I just find it strange."

He paused, then looked at Xu Qingmeng with a somewhat blank expression.

"The Ancient Star-Picking Clan, oh, that is, the Ancient God Clan, their original name was not the Ancient God Clan."

"Instead, they are called... the Ancient Herdsmen."
