Shadow Hack Chapter 929 - Ancient God Ru Shou

Chapter 929: Ancient God Ru Shou

“Ru Shou? Who is he?” Li Yunmu mentally enquired with the system.
The system was silent for a long time before slowly saying, [Ru Shou was one of the ancient gods of Ancient Lands. After he perished, his godhood also disappeared. I hadn’t expected that it would appear in this world. It is really surprising.]
Ancient god perished?
Li Yunmu made a few guesses in his heart, then asked mentally, “Did Ancient God Ru Shou perish in the first battle of gods or in the invasion of the Goumang Real World?”
[During the first battle of gods, all the gods fought for the power of belief in a chaotic war while I was resisting the Goumang Real World on the outside. When I returned to the Origin World, many ancient gods had perished, and most them belonged to Ancient Lands. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but now I fear that it wasn’t a simple matter!] the system said in a cold voice, with a hint of anger concealed within.
Li Yunmu didn’t reply but thought over the system’s words. After the first battle of gods caused by power of belief, someone among the five master gods began to collaborate with the Goumang Real World. If Ancient God Ru Shou had perished in the battle between the two worlds, then the appearance of his godhood in the night pearl small world would be very ordinary.
But if he died in the internal strife, how could his godhood have been leaked outside and appear in the night pearl small world, forming god ruins?
There was only one possibility, and it was that before the battle of the gods started, the master god of Ancient Lands had already colluded with the Goumang Real World by using ancient god’s godhood for profit. Naturally, it was just a guess, but if it was true, then this secret was very large. It would be both astonishing and have a huge impact on the world.
Li Yunmu’s eyes shone while he thought about the system’s words earlier, that Ancient Lands had few ancient gods. It seemed like someone had traded them away to the Goumang Real World for profit. They had used the battle of gods as a cover, so the disappearance of many ancient gods only seemed logical.
Even the system who was the True God didn’t sense anything amiss.
“At that time, did the Ancient Lands have the most ancient gods and gods?”
Li Yunmu followed behind Jue Qingzi and others to enter the god ruins while talking inside his mind with the system.
[Before the battle of gods started, the Ancient Lands had indeed the largest number of gods and ancient gods. It was called the main region. After the battle of gods, however, the majority of the ancient gods and gods of Ancient Lands perished.
“Their godhood was then used to collaborate with beyond the heavens… Pangu seems to have been dealing with them for a very long time. He had certainly hid himself deeply,] the system said icily.
Based on its tone of voice, Li Yunmu knew that the system had discovered the collaboration between Pangu and beyond the heavens only now. In other words, the system had been hoodwinked until then. But was there only one master god who had relied on the Goumang Real World?
The system had previously guessed that there were two master gods, but now it seemed that the majority of them had come to rely on beyond the heavens. That was a great disappointment for the system, even causing its heart to turn cold. But it wasn’t only the system who felt that way. Li Yunmu also felt his heart grow cold after realizing what wasd going on.
Gods really didn’t have any emotions and only thought about themselves.
After passing through the wooden door, everyone reached a platform halfway up the mountain. The large door behind them began to reflect the scenery of the mountain, but the red-crowned cranes on which they were sitting previously were nowhere to be seen. Li Yunmu looked at the scenery which was identical to the outside world and touched the restriction destroying halo in his hand.
Ripples floated out from the restriction destroying halo. They expanded in all directions and passed through the bodies of the talents of the Alliance without them sensing anything.
When the ripples emitted from the restriction destroying halo touched the entire surface, Li Yunmu saw the scenery change. He saw the shrubs transform into a gloomy region that had a black coffin at the center.
So it was all an illusion, Li Yunmu mumbled in his heart. A moment ago, when he had entered the god ruins and seen that the scenery was similar to the outside world, he was a bit surprised.
Although he wasn’t someone who practiced spell formations and hadn’t cultivated a heavenly eye, he was still a quasi master god in terms of strength. By relying on his profound cultivation, he was still able to sense that something was wrong.
Li Yunmu shot a glance at Jue Qingzi, whose both eyes were shining. He was not confused by the surrounding scenery. A glance at Yan Wanqiu and the twins showed that they also had bright expressions and were not intimidated by the scenery.
Li Yunmu walked behind them and used mental transmission to communicate with Jue Qingzi. “Brother Jue Qingzi, how did you see through the illusion?”
“I walk the path of the sword immortal, so I pass through my life together with a sword and form a sword heart. Naturally then, I wouldn’t be confused by external things,” Jue Qingzi explained in simple terms. He was no longer as talkative as before.
Li Yunmu understood what he meant and used a mental transmission to communicate with Yan Wanqiu.
“How did you know that we’ve entered an illusion?” he asked with curiosity.
Based on the Origin World’s cultivation system, Yan Wanqiu should be classified as a mid stage sage flux expert, since she was in golden core stage in the Goumang Real World, who did not have a very strong soul. Yet the thoughts she transmitted were the same as those of Jue Qingzi—sword immortals possessed a sword heart and could resist all illusions.
After she saying that, a shaking thought came from Yan Wanqiu, “You… don’t… worry… about twins. The secret technique… they cultivate… can allow them to retain clarity.”
“You first practice mental transmission! Then speak!”
Li Yunmu passed his thoughts to Yan Wanqiu’s mind, and after a moment, she turned around and shot a glance at him.
When the white-gowned people walking in the front saw the illusion, their leader opened his wooden umbrella and a formless energy passed in all directions. It collided with the surrounding scenery, and it seemed to burn and melt like paper, revealing the true appearance of the god ruins.
Li Yunmu observed the completely sealed cavern with a black coffin at the center. Five lamps were hanging in the surroundings, burning with deep blue flame. When everyone saw the coffin, they revealed astonished expressions.
After a long time of silence, Leng Yan looked at the black coffin right under his nose and a hint of greed appeared in his eyes. “I hadn’t expected that the Alliance would surprisingly arrange such a simple god ruin.”
The people concealed in the black mist as well as white-gowned ones didn’t say anything, but a hint of greed appeared in their eyes as well.
Li Yunmu examined everyone’s expressions before shifting his gaze to the black coffin. At that moment, the system’s voice echoed in his brain.
[There’s some problem with this black coffin! There is the body as well as the godhood of Ru Shou inside it, but…]
“But what?” Li Yunmu asked when the system did not continue.
[Ru Shou’s body has already been turned into a zombie! If these people of beyond the heavens’ younger generation open the black coffin, Ru Shou will certainly awaken. An ancient god turned into zombie… How could these little devils who haven’t even become gods resist it? They will be wiped out. The Alliance from beyond the heavens is really ruthless regarding the experiences of their younger generations.]
