Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 203 The Truth
As the voice fell, Ao Yuan also raised his claws and stepped towards Lin Qianxing.
Facing the giant claw that was as big as a mountain, Lin Qianxing did not dodge or evade, but directly turned into weak water and rushed forward.
Boom~!
The terrifying mass of Lin Qianxing's body collided with Ao Yuan, causing the space to fluctuate slightly. Lin Qianxing did not move at all, and Ao Yuan was forced to retract his giant claws.
Countless scales fell from Ao Yuan's giant claws, mixed with blood that flowed like a waterfall.
"Why?" Ao Yuan asked puzzledly: "We are both inheritors of the Divine Turtle, why are you so much stronger?"
“Although our energy levels are similar, it is obvious that your way is not as good as mine.” Lin Qianxing said with a smile.
“This is impossible!!”
“Roar, roar, roar~!”
Along with the roar, Ao Yuan's body began to grow continuously, until it slowly stopped at about ten million feet.
It also has the ability to change its body shape.
After his body grew bigger, Ao Yuan opened his mouth and swallowed Lin Qianxing directly.
A powerful suction force was spread out, and countless things around the temple were all swallowed up by Ao Yuan, but the weak water transformed by Lin Qianxing remained motionless.
The mass of Weak Water is difficult to estimate, and ordinary immortals and gods cannot resist its gravity. Ao Yuan is obviously far from being able to shake the Weak Water body transformed by Lin Qianxing.
"That's it?" Lin Qianxing said with some disappointment.
He originally thought that Ao Yuan would be very strong, but now it seems that he is just so-so!
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and in an instant, endless water flow formed a vast ocean in the sky. Lin Qianxing's majestic spiritual power controlled the endless water flow, and his body swam quickly in it.
Under Lin Qianxing's control, the vast ocean turned into a giant water dragon, circling and swimming, completely covering Ao Yuan.
“Ah~!”
With a roar, the giant dragon rushed down and completely devoured Ao Yuan.
The scales on Ao Yuan's body shattered and countless cracks appeared on his shell. In less than a quarter of an hour, Ao Yuan was covered with bruises and his breath was weak.
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and the giant water dragon quietly dissipated, and Lin Qianxing himself reappeared.
"Kill me! You win!" Ao Yuan said miserably while lying on the ground of the temple.
It thought it had no rivals in this world, but who would have thought it would meet a freak like Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing was also quite emotional at this time. His luck on this trip was really good. Logically speaking, Ao Yuan was at least at the level of overturning the sea.
As a result, he was crushed and beaten by him. The two sides were not on the same level at all.
"I just want to ask you some questions. I have no intention of killing you." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
"Don't you want to harvest the faith of salvation to achieve your own success?" Ao Yuan said in surprise.
"I don't lack faith now." Lin Qianxing said truthfully: "I do lack some devout believers."
He is already level 100 and cannot upgrade any further.
Now we just lack some believers at the [Perseverance] and [Saint] levels to complete the achievements and clear the game, so it is true that there is no shortage of faith.
"Haha, isn't it the same?" Ao Yuan said sarcastically, "Then you just need to be like the divine tortoise and protect all living beings in this world during the Great Evolution Disaster."
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you." Lin Qianxing stopped dwelling on this matter and asked, "Let me ask you, you said that you didn't knock down the sacred tree, is that true?"
“Hmph, why should I lie? When I harvested the faith of the Divine Turtle, I also used the title of the inheritor of the Divine Turtle. There was not a single falsehood at all.” Ao Yuan said.
"So you are really the inheritor of the Divine Turtle?" Lin Qianxing asked in surprise.
"I swallowed a piece of scale left by a divine tortoise, and thus gained the ability to absorb faith..." Ao Yuan said.
After hearing this, Lin Qianxing felt that there was no problem. After all, there was not much difference between him and Ao Yuan.
It's just that one eats scales and the other eats beads.
As for stealing faith?
Just as Ao Yuan said, the divine turtle doesn't want it, and that thing has no owner at all, so it doesn't matter who takes it.
As long as you have the means, you can collect faith.
"But why did I hear that you were the one who knocked down the sacred tree?" Lin Qianxing asked puzzledly.
"Do you know how strong and tough the sacred tree is?" Ao Yuan asked back.
"Not very clear." Lin Qianxing shook his head.
"You came from the ground, so you must have seen the Lingshi Mountain Range transformed from the sacred tree. That was the trunk of the sacred tree. With such thick branches, do you think it could be knocked down so easily?" Ao Yuan said with some reminiscence in his eyes, "It is strong enough to protect the world with its own branches and leaves. Its branches are thick enough to support the heaven and earth. Its roots penetrate the earth for billions of miles and spread throughout the world, going straight into the void to absorb energy from the chaos. Do you really think that the sacred tree is one of those fragile seedlings that is only a few thousand feet high? Not to mention me, even all the living beings in this world combined may not be able to knock it down!"
After listening to Ao Yuan's story, Lin Qianxing combined it with what he had seen in the Yuanjing Mountains, and compared it with his own experience. He really felt that Ao Yuan was right.
But if that's the case, doesn't it mean that Su was lying to him?
Su Ke is a believer at the [Reverence] level, why would you lie to him?
Also, since it was not Ao Yuan who knocked down Jianmu, how collapse?
Lin Qianxing was very puzzled.
He had no intention of beating around the bush and immediately decided to go find Su to get things straight.
He turned his head and flew out of the temple.
"It really won't kill me?" Ao Yuan murmured in disbelief as he looked at Lin Qianxing's receding figure.
"Your Majesty? Are you still alive?" Ao Zhong appeared and looked at Ao Yuan cautiously.
"Why, are you unhappy that I'm not dead?" Ao Yuan said with a bad look.
"No, no, how dare I!" Ao Zhong quickly denied.
…
[Hint: You have obtained 1205841.02 worship points from Ao Yuan, a believer of [Qian Xin].]
When Lin Qianxing saw the prompt, he was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but smile.
He really didn't expect that Ao Yuan would be defeated by him.
In comparison, the strange beasts are really simple. As long as you are stronger, they are willing to worship you and give you their faith.
Soon, Lin Qianxing arrived at the Longbo tribe.
More than eight thousand years later, the population of the Longbo tribe had reached tens of thousands.
This number is not small. At its peak, the Longbo tribe only had a few hundred thousand people, and their fertility rate has always been not very high.
The god they worship now is Lin Qianxing, who is considered the new patron saint of the Longbo tribe.
In the center of the entire tribe, there is a huge sacred tree whose height and thickness are unknown.
It was the original Jianmu seedling.
Of course, it can't be called a seedling now. It is close to adulthood. If there are enough resources, it should be able to become the new umbrella of the world in another 10,000 or 20,000 years.
After Lin Qianxing appeared in the tribe, the Longbo giants all performed their salutes and expressed their respect to Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing went straight into Su's residence.
"Messenger of God, you are here." Su said.
"I went to the temple in Tianji to meet Ao Yuan before." Lin Qianxing said directly: "After I defeated it, I asked it some questions, and these questions were a little different from what you told me."
"The disaster beast is cunning and full of lies. Don't be easily fooled by it, God." Su said.
Although there was no fluctuation in his tone, Lin Qianxing clearly felt Su's panic.
"Mr. Su, how did the sacred tree fall? Please don't lie to me." Lin Qianxing said softly.
For a moment, there was silence between Lin Qianxing and Su.
After a while, Su spoke.
"I just want to see Master Divine Turtle again before I die..." Su said with a trembling voice, "I thought that as long as the sacred tree fell, Master Divine Turtle would definitely come back and save the world again. Then, I would be able to see Him again, even if He would punish me for it.
I have a special talent that allows me to easily manipulate plants and cause some damage to the sacred tree.
I spent tens of millions of years, like a woodworm, wearing away the branches of the sacred tree bit by bit, and finally made it collapse. Who knew that the Divine Turtle would never come back after he left? I waited for a long time but never saw Him...
I realized that I had caused a great disaster, so I tried to make amends. I used my talent to cultivate the roots of one of the sacred trees and let it grow into a new sacred tree, but it is not a real sacred tree after all..."
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-!
Drops of tears rolled down from the corners of Su's eyes, and his whole body was shaking.
"God's messenger, please, you must save this world..."
As the last words came out of his mouth, the breath that Su Qiang had been holding on to also dissipated. Under his chair, a section of the roots of the sacred tree slowly wrapped around his body and turned him into its own nutrition.
A gust of wind blew by, and only his original clothes were left on Su's original position.
Lin Qianxing was silent.
He didn't expect the story to be like this.
What really brought disaster to the world was not the so-called disaster beast Ao Yuan, but the believers who had a devout faith in the divine turtle.
All this, just to see the divine turtle again.
When he realized that he had made a big mistake, he wanted to make amends but it was too late.
It's all too late.
Supported by his obsession, even though he was already at the end of his life, he still held on with all his strength and made a final effort, even though that effort seemed so insignificant.
"Can I do it?" Lin Qianxing asked himself.
In order to protect the entire world from the catastrophe, he always felt that his strength was perhaps lacking.
He knew very well that he couldn't do it at least with his current state.
Lin Qianxing looked at the huge sacred tree growing outside and shook his head again.
According to the information Su had previously told him, the catastrophe would come in less than two thousand years.
This sacred tree was originally cultivated with the help of a root. The Yuanjing Mountain Range left behind by the collapsed Jianmu tree provided it with unlimited resources, but its absorption speed was limited and its growth rate was still very slow. It was impossible to cultivate it into a Jianmu that supported the sky within two thousand years.
But this is indeed a good opportunity, a good opportunity for Lin Qianxing to gain a large number of devout believers.
Of the hundreds of billions of [persistent] believers needed to achieve the [Immortal Kingdom on Land], Lin Qianxing has only reached 3% of the number, and he does not even have a single one of the ten thousand [Saint] believers needed to achieve [Saints Like Clouds].
If he could successfully save the world from the catastrophe, wouldn't it be easy for him to accomplish these things?
