From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

And now?

Although he also relied on the power of the Qi Bureau and cooperated with Zhao Yingkong, his current posture of using the light of the sun and moon for his own benefit is too much like that of a deity in a temple, rather than an ordinary mortal.

In the blink of an eye.

An hour passed quickly, and darkness fell. The sun had completely set in the west, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold light.

The sandstorm subsided, and Jiang Liu exhaled a breath of stale air, a trace of weariness appearing in his eyes.

As the energy flowed, countless pink halos converged, forming countless cherry blossom-like petals that merged into one, transforming into Zhao Yingkong, who was pale-faced and panting heavily.

"Are you okay?"

Zhan Lan helped Zhao Yingkong, who was kneeling, and after a quick check, took out food from her storage ring and gave it to her to eat.

Since returning to the Main God Space, everyone except Qi Tengyi has exchanged for a storage ring.

Zhao Yingkong took the food, swallowed it in large gulps, and digested it quickly. In just a short while, her complexion returned to its rosy hue.

Without him.

After unlocking the fourth stage of the gene lock, one can always maintain their best condition. Even if severely injured, they can recover to their best condition through basic eating, maximizing the use of every bit of energy contained in food.

Jiang Liu also took the liquid food handed over by Zheng Zha, swallowed it in one gulp, and his fatigue disappeared at a visible speed.

Although his gene lock had only reached the third stage, and he had not even fully adapted to the third stage, his cultivation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, Dharma Image Seals, Sun and Moon Refining Form, and the Forbidden Fruit of the Gods Modification had connected and linked all eight meridians, nine orifices, acupoints throughout his body, and nerve nodes. Even though he had not reached the fourth stage of his gene lock, he already possessed most of the corresponding abilities. His efficiency in digesting food and utilizing energy was no lower than Zhao Yingkong's, and might even be stronger.

By using the method of refining the primordial Qi through the Five Elements and Six Qi, Jiang Liu can restore his spirit without even needing to eat, simply by replenishing his primordial Qi.

"Jiang Liu, what level have you reached?"

Duanmu Ying patted Jiang Liu on the shoulder, incredulous, "You resisted a sandstorm for an hour and recovered just by eating some food? Are you even human? Have you cultivated yourself into an immortal?"

"The fact that I still need to eat food means that I am not yet a god."

After getting up, Jiang Liu stretched his muscles and bones, and his Qi flowed throughout his body, making crackling and popping sounds. The invisible waves of Qi surged, causing ordinary people like O'Connor to swallow their saliva incessantly.

Fighting sandstorms with human strength —

This is mythology!

"You wouldn't happen to be God reincarnated, would you?" Evelyn, an atheist, actually began to believe in the existence of "God" at this moment.

"of course not."

Jiang Liu immediately interrupted Evelyn's faith, "Teacher Evelyn, the power we wield is nothing more than an unexplored system compared to existing science, nothing more."

# Chapter 537 The Disappearance of the Sun Sutra

Are you all superhumans who have mastered supernatural powers?

Snapped!

Evelyn slapped her cheek, forcing herself to come back to her senses, and said in disbelief, "There really are magicians in the world! That's incredible!"

"But you all possess such great power, why do you still need to go to school?"

“Teacher Evelyn, we don’t have Jiang Liu’s power.”

Hermione denied it immediately.

Jiang Liu, however, said, "Having power and mastering knowledge are not contradictory. Besides, we are ultimately just human beings, and our needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are no different from those of ordinary people, are they?"

Evelyn thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. Even if you had superpowers, you still needed to eat, drink, and relieve yourself. You couldn't force or oppress others to serve you because of that.

However, considering the existence of superpowers and magic, she believes she needs to supplement or even overturn some of the established conclusions in historical myths and legends.

So-called history —

We must be realistic!

“Imhotep has recovered; we must deal with him.” Zheng Zha’s gaze fell on O’Connor, and he stated the truth, “We need your help.”

"what?"

O'Connor had no idea about Imhotep. When he learned that it was a mummy dug out of Hamunaptra and that it had been resurrected by Evelyn reciting a spell from the Book of the Dead, and that the previous sandstorm was caused by the resurrected mummy, he immediately exclaimed, "Hey, brother, this has nothing to do with me!"

After saying this, O'Connor turned to Evelyn and said, "Beautiful lady, although you rescued me from prison..."

Although I really wanted to help deal with the mummy...

But I don't have their strength. If I get involved, I'll surely perish in the desert...

And isn't my mission to lead you to Hamunaptra?

The implication is that since he has already helped them find their destination, the transaction is over, and he can completely distance himself from it. Why take any more risks?

Actually.

If it weren't for the main god restricting the Central Continent Team's range of activities, Zheng Zha wouldn't want to bother O'Connor either; he just had no choice at the moment.

“Take us to Hamunaptrae, and that won’t fully repay the debt of saving your life.” Evelyn, clutching the Book of the Dead, looked directly at O’Connor. “You have to help us deal with Imhotep.”

Upon learning that everything had happened because she had recited the incantation from the Book of the Dead, Evelyn felt a pang of self-reproach and naturally wanted to make amends: "Since the legends are true and magic is real, and the Book of the Dead can resurrect Imhotep, then the legendary Book of the Sun must also be able to destroy it!"

O'Connor!

You need to find the Golden Book of the Sun for us!

"Okay. Okay," O'Connor said twice, her eyes full of helplessness.

"The Book of the Sun is said to be located at the foot of the statue of Anubis... but only the Book of the Dead was unearthed there."

Isaac Taber spoke up, revealing that the Book of the Dead was unearthed at the foot of the Anubis statue, "The Book of the Sun doesn't exist there at all."

"Since the Sun Sutra is not in Hamunaptra, there is no need to go down there."

O'Connor felt relieved and wasn't too keen on facing the swarms of scarabs. "Perhaps we can go back to Cairo and look for information in libraries and museums."

"The Sun Book is in Hamnata."

Knowing the plot, Zheng Zha was unwilling to return to the Cairo area and insisted that he wanted to get his hands on the props used to bury Imhotep.

As for the plot?

The East America team, the East China Sea team, and the Indian team have already entered the arena. With the presence of Jiang Liu and others, the plot is already different from what they know. There is no need to worry too much!

“We have learned that the Golden Book of the Sun is actually inside the statue of the sun god.”

The matter of reciting the mantras from the Sun Sutra—

They don't necessarily need Evelyn. Qi Tengyi from their team can also read ancient Egyptian and will surely be able to bury Imhotep!

"No."

Jiang Liu then spoke up.

"what?"

Zheng Zha was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

"The Sun Sutra is not in Hamunaptra."

Upon entering the underground hall, Jiang Liu had already scanned and explored it with his spiritual power. The only object emitting a special magnetic field was the Black Book of the Dead within the stone platform at the foot of the Anubis statue.

"You knew from the beginning that the place where the Book of the Dead was stored contained a poison gas trap?"

Upon learning that Jiang Liu was able to sense the entire Hamunaptra Tower in some way, Ron suddenly questioned him.

"Oh, so the blond guy actually dares to speak up."

Duanmu Ying already disliked the other party and wasn't going to tolerate it. She played with the crystal scalpel in her hand and sneered, "Jiang Liu saved your life back then, and you didn't even thank him. Now you have the nerve to question me? Where's your face?"

"Ron!"

Isaac quickly rebuked him, but his face also showed slight displeasure. He asked Jiang Liu, "Excuse me, did you know from the beginning that there was a trap there?"

Jiang Liu did not answer, but said, "When you are doing archaeological work with Teacher Evelyn, you should report any discoveries as soon as possible, instead of acting on your own."

Isn't this a basic principle?

"You couldn't resist, or perhaps you wanted to hide the treasure, and you moved things around carelessly, triggering the traps. Who can you blame for that?"

Instantly.

Isaac and Hermione were a little embarrassed.

Jonathan whistled and quietly walked behind Evelyn, distancing himself from the matter.

"The Book of the Dead has a special magnetic field that can disrupt my mental perception to some extent, making it difficult to detect immediately that the location where the Book of the Dead is stored also contains a corrosive poison gas trap." Seeing that they were speechless, Jiang Liu gave an explanation.

Zhan Lan also stepped forward to testify: "What Jiang Liu said is true. I also know how to use mental power. The special magnetic field carried by the Necronomicon does indeed have the effect of hindering detection."

Isaac was now even more embarrassed.

Jiang Liu didn't dwell on this, but said to Zheng Zha, "If the Golden Book of the Sun is made of a special material like the Black Book of the Dead, then Lu Jin, Zhan Lan, and I can all detect areas that cannot be covered by mental power. However, in the entire City of Death, only the stone platform under the statue of Anubis can block the detection of mental power... The Golden Book of the Sun most likely does not exist in the City of the Dead."

"That's troublesome."

Xiao Honglu said, "Either it was taken by other teams beforehand, or the Book of the Sun was never stored in Hamunaptra at all."

"If it was taken by other teams first, why not take the Book of the Dead as well?" Zero didn't understand.

"The Lord's... limitations, or perhaps their mission is also related to Imhotep."

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and stated two possibilities, but then changed the subject, offering a third possibility, "However, I am more inclined to the conjecture that the Golden Book of the Sun does not exist in Hamunaptra..."

# Chapter 538 Split into Two Groups

"Mission? Team? Who exactly are you?"

Evelyn realized that Zheng Zha and the others, who had been brought by Jiang Liu, seemed to have special identities or other purposes.

"They come from a force called 'The Lord,' which specializes in dealing with historical issues such as evil spirits, zombies, monsters, and so on."

Jiang Liu assigned Zheng Zha and the others the identity of "exorcists," which was related to the "main god," so they had to be careful. "This force has many small teams spread across all continents of the world. They live in a dark world unknown to ordinary people and take it upon themselves to exorcise demons."

However, in the last two years, three groups have betrayed the faction, seizing an ancient book and learning about the legends of ancient Egyptian mummies, hoping to resurrect Imhotep...

Of course, it wasn't to enjoy wealth and luxury by becoming Imhotep's servant, nor was it to gain power second only to the emperor.
