CHAPTER 720: CHAPTER 200 CONFUSING STATEMENTS (REQUESTING MONTHLY PASS)_3

"Until seven days ago, I happened to hear His voice, only to realize in the end that it was all an illusion, not only failing to fulfill my wishes but also leading to a fate where I disappeared without a trace."

"I wanted to let go, but my obsession was too deep, and there was hatred in my heart!"

"One hatred for the high mountains and long rivers, the endless road; where in the world is the Holy Hall?"

"Another hatred for the dog of a bereaved family, the unfulfilled dream, light as a feather and lost in a day!"

"However, that day underground, in the midst of confusion, I seemed to hear the Lord’s voice again, awakening me from chaos."

"I dare not be certain, for I have never seen His form."

"I dare not inquire, for I fear disrupting His return."

"This cannot be told to others, nor can it be spread; I can only tell you, because the person who brought the Lord’s message that time... was also you."

——

Ah?

There was still a page left, but Xu Shu was stunned.

What does the bishop mean?

What does he mean I brought the Lord’s message and awakened him?

Bishop, don’t be cryptic, you know the thing I hate the most is to think!

Xu Shu was slightly freaking out.

As for the Lord mentioned by Yu Mingluan, he knew who it was, as the other often mentioned it—it was the Divine worshipped by the Holy Hall, known as the "original Creator."

This Divine had reportedly disappeared from the followers’ sight during the ’three-year recovery period’ before the Great Catastrophe officially occurred, leading directly to the fall of the Holy Hall, a superpower that once rivaled the Astronomy Association.

Wait, awakened...

Xu Shu recognized that Yu Mingluan was referring to the incident within the ruins of the Heroic Society; no wonder these letters weren’t meant to be seen by others.

He carefully recalled the moment, straightened his thoughts, and soon thought of a possibility.

That day from the start, Yu Mingluan was evidently driven into "madness," becoming a companion of the Cult.

When was he awakened?

It was when he himself had sacrificed most of the cult followers and was being chased by a few leaders of the Heroic Society, and Yu suddenly stepped in and helped him, turning those leaders into sheep!

So, judging by this point in time, what Yu Mingluan mentioned in the letter about "hearing the Lord’s message" must have occurred after the sacrifice.

Was there any special being present that could be considered the Lord?

There were only two options, one being the ’Evil God’ summoned by the cult followers.

Considering that Yu Mingluan had previously heard the voice of this Evil God, it definitely wasn’t the ’Lord’ he referred to.

By process of elimination, there was only one answer.

"Lie Zhenzi," the ’original Creator’ of the Holy Hall!

Xu Shu’s eyes initially lit up, then he let out a bitter laugh.

Does this make sense?

This blatantly doesn’t make sense!

It’s possible that Yu Mingluan had never personally participated in the sacrifice for ’Lie Zhenzi’, but having cultivated up to the Third Rank ’Red Archbishop’, he couldn’t possibly be encountering ’Lie Zhenzi’s’ aura for the first time!

Whether using the "Heart Fire Incense Burner" when going down dungeons or entering the Star Tower using the flying transport ability "airplane ticket," one could feel the overwhelming aura associated with ’Lie Zhenzi.’

So, if ’Lie Zhenzi’ truly was their Holy Hall’s ’Lord’, then Yu Mingluan should have already found the Lord, not just appearing to have found him ’seven days ago’, the day before yesterday.

What problem exists here?

Surely this ’Lord’ isn’t me, or could it be the Tai Chu Scroll?

Xu Shu thought carefully, judging that this also didn’t seem logical, since he was only eighteen years old, which didn’t coincide with the year the ’original Creator’ disappeared; so he definitely wasn’t the Lord of the Holy Hall.

Secondly, it wasn’t the first day he met Yu Mingluan; the first time they met, he had used the Tai Chu Scroll in front of him, and Yu had no reaction then, so the Tai Chu Scroll could be ruled out as well.

Thinking this, Xu Shu got stuck.

He had used the process of elimination to its extremes.

Successfully eliminating all options!

Perhaps there was some mysterious presence he didn’t know about that day that was involved?

Xu Shu set aside the things he couldn’t understand for the moment, finding another issue that also concerned him much.

At the end of this page of letter paper, Yu Mingluan mentioned "the person who brought the Lord’s message that time... was also you."

What does he mean by ’also’?

He said the first time he heard the ’Lord’s message’ was seven days ago.

Seven days ago, when?

Xu Shu counted on his fingers, calculated the time, and realized that he was still in the Wasteland at that time, not even back in the safe area. How could he have brought the ’Lord’s message’ to him?

This question was a bit mind-boggling and confused Xu Shu instantly.
