Chapter 456 A Great Harvest! The Spine of the Heavenly Creation Dragon! The Anomaly in the Heavenly Tree Kingdom
In the border city, within a pure white tower.
"Let go of Xiu Ren, he's a rat!"
"Don't touch me! You hamster, don't you have any manners? How can a girl just hug people like that? I've never hugged someone for this long before. Stop drooling!"
"Stop rubbing against me, you filthy hamster clone!"
"Don't do weird things with those mouse faces on your faces!"
"..."
The squeaking of the mice echoed in the room, but the objects of their cries were a group of dusty, travel-worn little mice clinging to Lu Yu.
Unlike ordinary rat clones, they all have red markings between their eyebrows, known as the Crimson King's Mark.
This is the Tri-Phase Crimson King Demon Body, capable of traversing time. With the current strength of the Rat, it can only conceive sixty offspring.
Losing even one requires a significant amount of time and effort to make up for it.
They ignored the rat's cries and continued to rub against the cultivator, some of them with smug smiles on their faces.
"Don't get too cocky!" Mouse gritted his teeth.
"Xiu-ren, your hamsters are so fierce, unlike us who only whimper. We've encountered so many things on this journey, and haven't seen you for so long, that's why we're so clingy. You don't hate the little mice, do you?" One of the mouse clones looked up and said with teary eyes.
"Of course it's okay."
Lu Yu stroked its head, then grasped its broken right paw and asked softly:
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurt a little at first, but it stopped hurting after seeing Xiu Ren. As long as Xiu Ren is here, Demon Seed Rat No. 13 will never be defeated!" The rat clone said energetically, with one small paw on its hip.
Lu Yu remained silent, the celestial radiance in his hand shining brightly, yet to no avail. Even the Paper Knight's constant immortal light was useless. Come to think of it, the rat itself possessed the effect of near-immortality, and its clones retained similar abilities.
The ability to create eternal wounds is clearly related to powerful beings at the True King level or above.
Lu Yu didn't rush to ask them what they had harvested. Instead, he hugged them close and said softly, "You've worked hard."
"Hmm... Xiuren, you're so gentle. Demon Rat No. 13 likes you the most." Demon Rat's face turned red instantly, and after being released, it was even a little dizzy while standing.
"Xiu Ren, Demon Rat Number 17 wants a hug too!"
"Number 27th too!"
"..."
The rat clones happily gathered around, and Lu Yu responded to everything they said.
"A bunch of green tea rats!" The rat was so angry that it jumped up and down. How could it, an upright person, have raised a bunch of green tea devils who only know these low-level tricks of fighting among themselves?
Although I was very unhappy, there was nothing I could do.
They were the real heroes this time.
Originally, the mouse wanted to steal the credit from the demon mice, take them back into its body beforehand, claim the credit for itself, and then compensate them with some potato chips afterward.
After all, they are themselves, so what's there to be embarrassed about!
However, it is unknown who leaked the information in advance, allowing Xiu Ren to learn the news. Helpless, he could only summon the rat clone.
Using the power of cause and effect, the rat traced the source and discovered that the disorder had been disrupted in advance, indicating that it was most likely the work of its clones.
"Damn snitch, don't let me find out who you are..." Mouse thought angrily, not noticing that Egg behind him opened its mouth as if to sneeze, but managed to hold it in and bit the head of Red Hare, who was hanging on an IV drip, thus avoiding being exposed.
After exchanging pleasantries with the demon rats, Lu Yu inquired:
"Tell me what happened."
The demon rats exchanged glances, and rat number thirteen was pushed forward to give a report in an orderly manner:
"This time, a total of sixty demon rats were sent out, numbered 1-60. Half went into the past, and the other half went into the future..." At this point, rat number 13 said in a somewhat dejected tone, "Only one demon rat that went to the future returned, number 44. Only nine returned from the past; the rest all perished."
"Was it that dangerous in the past?" the Paper Knight asked.
Because the future is full of uncertainties, it is indeed easy to take the wrong path.
But there are already corresponding stories in the past. Although some history is incomplete, as long as we follow the trajectory of the human race, there generally won't be any major problems.
"You're oversimplifying things." Rat Number Thirteen shook his head and said in a wise and experienced tone, "It's precisely because the past has been anchored that it cannot be changed."
Our in-depth investigation revealed that the entry points were all random, leaving no time to react. Moreover, behind these crucial historical events, there were actually the driving forces of certain ancient beings, and the entire period of time was sealed off.
Although they did not transcend time, that did not prevent them from killing you along the timeline. Many demon rats died instantly because they altered history too much.
I survived only because I was in contact with marginalized ancient scholars; I only lost a claw. Fortunately, I gained something from it: I discovered a pattern.
"What pattern?"
The demonic rat replied, "Small trends can be altered, but the overall trend cannot be reversed!"
"Tch, is that all?" Mouse seized the opportunity and showed a disdainful look.
Although... it hadn't experienced it either, the cultivator had told the pets the story of the Primordial Era, that everything had been arranged by the Heavenly Dao, and that any attempt to stop it would be crushed by the overwhelming force.
In the main world,
Every bit of progress made in the past strengthens the power of history, and it will naturally not allow people to destroy it.
Moreover, this involves forbidden beings, supreme beings, the main world, and so on. If the overall situation changes, it will naturally alarm them.
After all that work, all I got was a known conclusion: I'm really bad!
However, the No. 13 Demon Rat was not angry when it heard this. It glanced at the rat and sneered, "You can't talk about ice with a summer insect."
"When did you become so cultured?" Mouse was startled, then realized the other person was insulting her. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard Number 13 continue:
"What is the grand trend? It is composed of countless smaller trends. Although it is irreversible, as long as there are enough Demon Seed Rats, they can replace all the smaller trends, shifting them little by little, like digging canals to divert floodwaters, gradually developing in the direction we want, and finally... usurping the nest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the pets fell into deep thought.
The mouse was also deep in thought, but what it was thinking about was...
Wow, I'm actually that smart!
No, it's the Demon Seed Rat that's indeed a bit smarter than the Rat Clone, and it has indeed inherited one ten-thousandth of my intelligence!
"I see!"
Lu Yu was surprised, but then he understood what it meant.
The outcome of an ancient entity, or even a forbidden scheme, such as the fall of the Supreme Mother Goddess, is inevitable and an objective fact.
If you want to defy fate, you must face all taboos, all great beings, the backlash of the river of time, and even the Mother River will stand against you.
They've already divided the cake; if you want to redistribute it, aren't you courting death?
Truly at odds with the world!
However, by using the Demon Rat to lay traps and leave hidden mechanisms, they can preserve this achievement until now and then steal it. This way, they can achieve their goals without going against the general trend.
It's about taking a little from each great being, and accumulating it to create a new share, so that everyone doesn't fall out.
Everyone is less = nothing changes.
It also allows the philanthropist Lu to join this big family, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
The same principle applies to the future; for a project nearing completion, one can incorporate their own methods and gain control over certain permissions.
Based on this, the little mice deduced and derived the corresponding profound technique—the Crimson King's Three Lifetimes Fishing Method!
However, there is still a problem here. The No. 21 Demon Rat encountered a part of false time. Although it was the same as the real history, it was more like a projector that kept repeating the same images.
Even if you try everything to change it, someone can simply press the restart button to restore it to its original state.
Another part was dug out and fell directly into a void without any concept of time or space, where it died alone.
But that doesn't stop Lu Yu from being a top-notch angler, except his fishing spot isn't fish, but gods.
Afterwards, Lu Yu began to examine the spoils he had brought back, which consisted of three items.
The first item comes from the past; it was a lucky find that the Seventh Demon Rat picked up in the Old Days. [Timeline: Primordial, Dark, Flame, Old Days, Stars, Dawn (Present)]
After witnessing an ancient dragon complete its mission, it followed the dragon into the depths of the sea and died naturally.
The blood of the ancient dragon transformed into countless seabed mineral veins, nourishing countless creatures; its breath became a marine storm ecosystem; its eyes, skin, and so on all transformed into different extraordinary ecosystems…
When a dragon falls, all things come to life!
Because all of this was under the watchful eye of the main world's will, the Demon Seed Rat dared not make any rash moves. However, at the last moment, the ancient dragon's body, which was filled with a high concentration of spiritual energy, released a large amount of legendary dragon attributes, attracting the attention of many powerful dragons, which gave the Demon Seed Rat an opportunity.
They can take it, so why can't I?
Although there are few historical records in this part, and it is unknown who the key figures in later major events are, the rat takes a different approach and ignores anyone with a strong aura of karma, calamity, or conspiracy.
Finally, they selected a pureblooded undead dragon from the underworld—the Underworld Dragon.
A type of dragon with the Beast King system that can command the undead and amplify the growth of its servants through its blood, it typically establishes a vast kingdom of the dead and governs the order of the underworld.
Not a native of the main world, with little karma on his side, and only at the level of a pseudo-giant...
So, after the other party stole the items and returned to the underworld, the Demon Rat followed up and ambushed them, stealing the legendary trait.
[Legendary Trait - Spine of the Celestial Creator: Originating from a section of the spine of the ancient dragon Celestial Creator, it bears the mission of creating life, the earth, and the sea, and possesses a portion of the power of the laws of creation.]
Born under the will of the main world, it is destined to sacrifice itself to promote the growth of the ecosystem and integrate the path of creation into all things.
It understood this, knowing that it was merely a puppet controlled by fate, but it loved life and did not choose to face the destined dragon slayer. Instead, it chose to perish and transform into all things.
When the Heavenly Creation Dragon stands upright, it reaches the sky and stands on the earth, bearing the responsibility of the reproduction and growth of a large world of beings, and remains unfazed in the face of the world's collapse.
This is the only small section preserved in the spine of the Celestial Dragon. It represents its attachment to the world and possesses pure dragon rules, making it a legendary characteristic of the dragon attribute.
It can be made into a Dragon-type evolution food, or into a skill food called "Spine of Creation," which greatly enhances the hardness of one's bones and the strength of one's flesh. As long as the spine remains intact, life force will continuously overflow.
"The Spine of an Ancient Dragon—that's something money can't buy!"
Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised. Although it wasn't the most suitable reincarnation attribute for Egg, it was still a top-tier legendary trait.
Since the Heavenly Creation Dragon involves the characteristics of creation and bearing the burden of the world, it will most likely strengthen the [Reincarnation Kingdom].
Furthermore, the increased bone density will further enhance the already formidable defensive capabilities of the testicles.
"for you!"
Lu Yu casually tossed it to Egg, which swallowed it whole. Creation light burst forth from the spine on its back, continuously elevating the essence of its bones.
If you could penetrate the flesh, you could see the silvery-white spine beginning to turn jade-colored.
"roar!"
Egg let out a low growl, closed its eyes, and entered a deep sleep. Its appearance also underwent some subtle changes; its tail grew longer, and the dragon energy it exhaled with each breath became much stronger.
It also has an ancient, primitive feel; it's not old-fashioned, but rather closer to the rules.
The original dragon represented the apex predator of the food chain, devouring all things, and is also the origin of the title "ruler of the world".
"This is..." The mouse's eyes widened in surprise. Lu Yu's voice rang out beside it: "The spine possesses the ability to produce blood. It will likely absorb a significant amount of ancient dragon bloodline factors. When it awakens, it will be a completely new, eternal giant!"
"Waaah!"
The little spider nodded, silently covered the egg with a blanket, and shielded it from the surrounding noise.
In addition, the Demon Rat also recorded the coordinates of the Ancient Dragon's fall. I can go and check it out when I have time in the future; maybe I can even find something worthwhile.
Then, Lu Yu began to examine the second item, a booklet.
It was compiled by Rat Thirteen and collected by all the rat clones. It contains the secrets of some ancient powerful figures and sects, as well as the deeds of nearly a hundred ancient creatures. It is extremely detailed and has corresponding time, location and coordinates.
It helps Lu Yu understand the various events that happened in the past, but as his strength increases, the Eye of Truth can already obtain a lot of information, so it can only be said to be better than nothing.
If it were put up for auction, it could fill a lot of historical gaps and would attract a frenzy of archaeologists, making it easy to sell for millions.
But Lu Yu didn't intend to do that, because this thing was too suitable for Luo Qingyue. With these clear historical coordinates, she could summon a large number of projections from history through the historian Butterfly and use them for her own purposes.
Putting aside his personal relationship with her, after the Great Expedition began, she automatically came under his command and was nominally his subordinate.
Strengthening her is like giving yourself more power.
Moreover, as a teleportation coordinate point, it also needs daily maintenance to prevent it from being compromised.
Once her strength has improved sufficiently, she can then be sold, thus achieving two goals at once.
As for the third gain, it came from the future. The No. 44 Demon Rat did not bring back any items. On the contrary, it fell into a deep sleep the moment it returned due to its severe injuries.
All that remained was a message it risked its life to bring back.
After reading it, Lu Yu's calm expression changed, and his pupils trembled slightly.
This mentions the ancient divine kingdom that was being watched by kings and great beings, and that was approaching the mortal world, specifying its exact landing location.
It's actually in the Sky Tree Kingdom!
That's right, it's the True Kingdom where the Elf race, humanity's most important ally, resides.
Furthermore, the message also mentioned that they seemed to be...
They've betrayed us!
