CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 637 MEANINGLESS ACTIONS

Watching Yang Guohong dismissing the Spiritual Ability Users of Crimson and following Turayang into the Snowfield Frost Land,

Lu Zixun yawned widely, ready to leave the place.

As for going in with him, forget it, cats aren’t suited to move in water.

"Has the connection to the Snowfield Frost Land been made? Did Yang Guohong go somewhere to enhance his power..."

Before returning to Demon Country, Lu Zixun made a stop at the A-level zone of the Insect Slaying Region and mentioned the things he witnessed at Base 07 today to Zeng Haoyang.

Zeng Haoyang pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he said, "It seems Yang Guohong is set on advancing the Genetic Optimization Formula, and what he wants to do is not just to bring about the Bloody Moon."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, a puzzled look appeared on Lu Zixun’s face.

Wasn’t the purpose of everything Yang Guohong was doing to bring about the Bloody Moon?

Now it seemed that was not the case.

Seeing Lu Zixun’s confusion, Zeng Haoyang organized his thoughts before saying, "The Divine are not immortal beings; above A-level is the path to becoming a god."

"Ding—Host has collected a piece of World Mystery, current progress 9/178."

"Initially, the appearance of the Divine was merely a fabrication by humans; fights also occur among the Divine, and they can die. When the number of believers falls below a certain amount, the Divine will perish."

"And when the power of a believer reaches A-level, and the Divine’s power hasn’t fully recovered, the believer will replace the Divine Position."

As Zeng Haoyang’s words ended, the system’s notification sounded, shocking Lu Zixun deeply.

He hadn’t realized the Divine could actually die.

No wonder Lu Zixun felt that the power of the Divine wasn’t as world-shattering as he had imagined.

Connecting Yang Guohong’s actions to enhance his power, Lu Zixun quickly understood.

Yang Guohong wanted to replace the position of the Bloody Moon and become a Divine.

Just thinking about it, Lu Zixun could feel the enormity of Yang Guohong’s ambition.

To replace the Divine, wasn’t he afraid of being detected by the Divine? This was already blasphemous.

"The Divine thought They could perfectly control humans but forgot that while humans can be controlled, human nature cannot. Before the Dusk of the Gods, every day, Divine were replaced, precisely because of this."

"Then..."

Pausing for a moment, Lu Zixun looked up at Zeng Haoyang: "The Divine that can awaken, are they those who were not replaced before the Dusk of the Gods? If so, their strength must be very great, can Yang Guohong really succeed?"

Faced with Lu Zixun’s question, Zeng Haoyang couldn’t answer for a while.

He also didn’t know whether Yang Guohong could succeed.

After a long moment, Zeng Haoyang shook his head: "I don’t know either. In the long slumber, no one knows how much power is left in the Divine. If caught off-guard, the likelihood of being replaced is very high."

Pondering Zeng Haoyang’s words, Lu Zixun found himself back in Demon Country, his brows still furrowed.

If Yang Guohong’s real purpose was to replace the Divine,

Then Lu Zixun was somewhat confused. If he was going to replace the Divine, why still promote the Genetic Optimization Formula?

What was the purpose of the Genetic Optimization Formula?

To reduce the population, decrease the quantity to improve quality, manage the number of people... manage...

Thinking this, a lightning bolt, identical to one from an anime, flashed through Lu Zixun’s mind, and he seemed to understand.

To lower the probability of his Divine Position being replaced, while making the absorption of the Power of Faith easier, and ensuring his believers don’t lose out in the struggle.

Thinking about this, Lu Zixun took a deep breath...

The furrow in his brow seemed to relax immediately.

If this were truly Yang Guohong’s real objective, then it had nothing to do with him.

Lu Zixun handles things the same way as squeezing toothpaste: squeeze a bit, and a bit comes out.

He would only take proactive actions when something threatening occurred.

Now, Lu Zixun believed that Yang Guohong’s desire to replace the Divine Position in the Bloody Moon did not pose any threat to him.

After all, Lu Zixun was neither contesting for the Divine Position of the Bloody Moon nor did he care about it.

With that thought, Lu Zixun stretched lazily and threw himself onto the bed, comfortably wrapping himself with a small blanket to sleep.

Deep into the night, the clouds over Crimson Land disappeared.

The pristine moonlight shone on the snowy ground, casting a soothing silver glow.

A group of people in black robes moved swiftly across the snowfield, heading towards the Insect Slaying Zone.

The now awake Lu Zixun was holding a packet of chips while watching TV.

On the bedside table next to him, there was also junk food soda, conveying a sense of lying down forever.

"Lord Xun, a group of people in black is moving towards the Insect Slaying Zone. Judging by the energy they carry, they should be followers of the Plague God."

The room reverberated with the voice of Ling as Lu Zixun heard this, immediately summoning the Night Evil Sword and soaring into the sky.

"The location of the people in black."

While flying towards the Insect Slaying Zone, Lu Zixun began questioning Ling.

"They have changed direction three kilometers from the Insect Slaying Zone, their speed has increased! Target lost... Target acquired, they have reached Area C, green mist is spreading..."

Before Ling could finish speaking, Lu Zixun accelerated the flight speed of the Night Evil Sword, instantly arriving at the Insect Slaying Zone.

There in the sky, Lu Zixun encountered a problem.

This green mist seemed to be specifically destined for Area C, without any sign of spreading further.

Catching some of the green mist with his hand, Lu Zixun used the Spiritual Energy Silk to sense its components, which deepened the quizzical look on his face.

This was just plain mist; the only odd thing was its color.

Just to alter the weather conditions, they wouldn’t need to send over thirty people in black, right?

At least, Lu Zixun believed that Limorex wouldn’t engage in such a valueless act.

But indeed!

The green mist was just plain green mist.

Feeling somewhat perplexed, Lu Zixun decided to hold back and take no action.

After taking a glance at Lin Siyin in Area B and sensing that the Spiritual Energy Silk he left on Lin Siyin was still there, Lu Zixun then returned to Demon Country by the same route.

"Keep a closer watch on any disturbances in the Insect Slaying Zone recently. Something just happened, you go find Ling for the video later."

Rubbing his eyes, Ge Changming, extremely sleepy and somewhat dazed, listened to Lu Zixun’s arrangements, nodding his head intermittently.

He was completely puzzled, questioning, "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?"

Deeply inhaling, Ge Changming felt bereft of any will, trying to make himself slightly more alert.

The thing that got him out of bed at four in the morning was neither a sense of responsibility nor insomnia, but rather...

He couldn’t defeat Lu Zixun.
