Chapter 447 1 Life 2



Chapter 447 1 Life 2

"The meteorite jade coffin failed without any warning, and it may not fail for years or even decades."

It's also possible that several meteorites might malfunction within a single day; one of the Zhang family patriarchs died due to a series of meteorite malfunctions.

While Cheng Feng was thinking, Zhang Qiling did not stop explaining to him.

Looking at Zhang Qiling, who was completely different from the one outside the bronze gate, Cheng Feng finally understood how much the ultimate had affected this old guy.

Perhaps Zhang Qiling wasn't inherently a quiet and reserved person; it was just that his later experiences made him silent and secretly passionate.

"Old Zhang, how do we get back to that place? Maybe we can find the clues to how to kill Lu there."

After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, Cheng Feng asked a question.

Cheng Feng could clearly see that Zhang Qiling seemed a little unsatisfied.

"Follow me."

Led by Zhang Qiling, the two returned to the bronze gate. This time, Zhang Qiling did not pull Cheng Feng back.

In the blink of an eye, the bronze hall filled with jade coffins had vanished, leaving only the darkness that had greeted them when they first entered.

This time, without Zhang Qiling saying anything, the two walked forward in tacit agreement.

Sure enough, a faint blue light soon appeared, and Cheng Feng returned to the place that Zhang Qiling had defined as the core.

"The information here contains everything that has happened and will happen in this world."

Finding that thread about Lu is not easy.

Zhang Qiling looked at the veins before him with reverence, like a pilgrim on a pilgrimage.

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Old Zhang, is it possible that what you and I saw isn't the truth either?"

Zhang Qiling frowned; he really couldn't say for sure that this place was real.

But if all of this is fake, then wouldn't the Zhang family's mission over thousands of years become a joke?

It was clear that Zhang Qiling's mind was starting to falter. Cheng Feng patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder and said:

"It's normal for ordinary people not to see the essence of this place, because the things here are of a very high level."

It's no longer visible to the naked eye.

After saying that, Cheng Feng slowly closed his eyes under Zhang Qiling's gaze.

At this moment, the Heavenly Eye in Cheng Feng's mind completely replaced his eyes, staring ahead.

In the eye of the heavens, there are no veins or magnificent bronze halls, only an oval meteorite lying quietly on the ground.

With his eyes closed, Cheng Feng slowly walked towards the meteorite.

In Zhang Qiling's view, Cheng Feng walked all the way to the ultimate point that was radiating light, and finally merged directly into it.

Zhang Qiling lowered his gaze. At this moment, he had to believe that perhaps what Cheng Feng said was true: what he and his ancestors had seen was all an illusion.

But the truth was never perceived by them.

In the darkness, Cheng Feng stopped before the meteorite. His Heavenly Eye protected his consciousness, completely concealing his humanity.

Only absolute rationality remains to communicate with the meteorite.

"How to get rid of Lu."

Under absolute rationality, Cheng Feng asked the meteorite with his mind.

As expected, the meteorite responded to Cheng Feng.

In an instant, an overwhelming amount of information flooded into Cheng Feng's mind; it's no exaggeration to say that...

At this moment, Cheng Feng received millions or tens of millions more information than he had experienced in the first half of his life.

An ordinary human being would instantly be brain-dead from the sheer volume of information.

However, Cheng Feng, driven by absolute rationality, perfectly received the information. To put it more vividly, the core of the Sky Eye's protection is like Saturn.

And this information is the rings surrounding Saturn.

Absolute rationality allowed Cheng Feng to calmly examine every part of the 'Star Ring,' even the smallest speck of dust.

Within this star ring, Cheng Feng witnessed the origin of the universe, the formation of galaxies, and the death of countless massive stars, which collapsed into black holes.

One after another, the light produced by the supernova explosion burst forth, and the white hole spewed out energy.

The universe unfolded before Cheng Feng's eyes like a scroll painting.

Suddenly, the perspective shifted, and I was transported directly into the painting. Countless stars flashed past me and disappeared at a speed exceeding that of light.

Finally, a light blue planet came into view.

Here, Cheng Feng saw himself—a giant meteorite.

Upon entering the atmosphere, the meteorite shattered, and the perspective shifted from one meteorite to two, each landing on the planet.

One of them is invisible; it lies dormant within the earth.

The other is the meteorite right in front of us.

Until one day, humans appeared in both perspectives.

At this moment, both of them felt the same energy, which was obsession.

Humanity's obsession has contaminated two 'simple' extraterrestrial objects.

I felt hungry without even realizing it.

The meteorite sensed life and death.

These two obsessions brought about change.

The intangible being, carried by dragon veins and some kind of insect, took on a tangible form. Driven by an insatiable appetite, it compels humanity to seek delicious food and is revered as a deity by the first humans to discover it.

The same applies to meteorites; they gave people a way to achieve immortality and were also revered as gods by these people.

Thus, humanity's first beliefs were born.

Lu's appetite grew ever larger with the boundless generosity of humankind, and he began to ponder how to eat more and faster.

Until one day, Lu's influence spread to the meteorite, and His contemplation came to a conclusion.

That is to devour oneself and become whole again.

Because the two initially absorbed different obsessions, the meteorite was not obediently swallowed.

Thus began the ideological battle between the two 'gods,' and the followers of Fuxi and Lu embarked on a protracted divine war.

Ironically, in the war between the gods, the meteorite was at a disadvantage, and Lu, after merging with the dragon vein, became stronger than Him.

In contrast, in wars between humans, the Fuxi clan nearly beat Lu's followers to a pulp.

Even without the help of the believers, the meteorite was still at a disadvantage and would eventually be unable to stop Lu's tentacles.

Therefore, believers used the bronze that accompanied the meteorite to create a bronze gate.

And with his last strength, he sealed one of Lu's cores inside the bronze gate.

This not only stopped Lu's expansion but also protected his own safety and that of his followers, achieving two goals at once.

The Fuxi clan were the original gatekeepers; they used meteorite jade and their own people as containers for imprisonment.

The inexplicable malfunction of the meteorite coffin was due to a leak in Lu's core, which the meteorite was powerless to stop at that point.

After all, it's like blocking a spring; you can't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small gain.

Therefore, some members of the Fuxi clan trained the Queen Mother of the West as the second-generation gatekeeper.

What happened next was the beginning of everything.

The Shang Dynasty conquered Changbai Mountain and drove away the Queen Mother of the West's tribe, who had been entrenched there.

Unable to open the bronze door, they could only drool over the chance for immortality on the opposite side, separated by the thick bronze door.

After a series of reckless actions, a serious mistake was made, causing the contents of the bronze door to escape to the outside world.

The Queen Mother of the West had to start cleaning up the mess these troublemakers made, because the creatures that had escaped were too troublesome, so she had to cultivate a third generation of gatekeepers.

That is, the original Zhang family.

As for the Queen Mother of the West herself, she did her utmost to imprison the escaped beings under Mount Kunlun. These escaped beings were later known as the Thirty-Three Non-Humans.

This is why the once powerful Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West disappeared in a short period of time.
