I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples -
Chapter 1845: Nuwa!
Chapter 1845: Chapter 1845: Nuwa!
The sculpture emitted no external aura.
However, in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, the aura within the sculpture surged violently, brimming with the power of the Heavenly Dao.
There were very few things that could surprise Lu Changsheng.
But the aura within the sculpture gave Lu Changsheng a sense of closeness. This sense of closeness didn’t stem from family, a familiar close friend, or even a Taoist couple.
Instead, it was a blend of familiarity and strangeness, as if it came from the same plane he originated from, though he had never seen it before.
Since coming to this world, Lu Changsheng had never felt this sensation from anyone. Yet, here it was emanating from this sculpture.
Moreover... the overall appearance of the sculpture gave Lu Changsheng an inexplicable feeling of déjà vu.
He racked his brain, confirming that it wasn’t something he had encountered in this world.
There was only one possibility left.
His previous life, Earth.
As this thought emerged, Lu Changsheng stared at the face of the sculpture, and his memory grew increasingly vivid.
It was not someone from his past life’s reality.
Rather, it was a figure from mythological tales.
A legendary figure that every single individual on Earth, especially any native of Lu Changsheng’s homeland, would know.
Nuwa...
It was identical to what Lu Changsheng had seen in paintings during his previous life!
As he gazed at the statue of Nuwa, Lu Changsheng momentarily forgot his original purpose. Time slipped away, and he remained stunned in place.
It felt like his mind had stalled.
What was going on here?
Did Nuwa also exist in this world?
Could the mythological Nuwa actually be real?
Or perhaps... was this Nuwa not the Nuwa he knew?
If it truly was the same Nuwa, if she indeed existed, by seniority’s reckoning, Lu Changsheng would certainly have to kneel and bow to this statue.
Two surges of aura appeared out of nowhere, snapping Lu Changsheng back to clarity.
Shrouding himself in a Black Robe to conceal his figure, Lu Changsheng rechecked to ensure there was no leakage of his aura before taking cover within the dense branches of an ancient tree.
Through the gaps in the crisscrossing branches, he saw the figures of Cangtian God and Xuantian God approaching Nuwa’s statue.
As expected.
The two had not noticed Lu Changsheng’s presence.
Cangtian God and Xuantian God stood before Nuwa’s statue, but their expressions showed no reverence. On the contrary, their eyes were filled with caution and dread.
Cangtian God was the first to speak, "How’s your side coming along?"
Xuantian God nodded slightly. "Ever since Zhong Sheng refined a container capable of absorbing Divine Vein toxins, the collection speed of Divine Ore Essence has greatly increased. That thing is already prepared."
That thing?
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
Within Xuantian God’s vicinity, Lu Changsheng sensed nothing particularly intricate or mysterious.
Hearing this, the corners of Cangtian God’s mouth lifted slightly. He then turned toward Nuwa’s statue, clasping his hands as he spoke, "The Immortal Realm has not broken any rules and has always acted within the boundaries of law. Thus, my lord should not hold us accountable for this matter, correct?"
Xuantian God’s brows furrowed faintly.
"However, one of the rules does emphasize no annihilation of the Lower Five Realms..."
Cangtian God shook his head. "The arrow has been drawn; we cannot stop now. For tens of millions of years, our Immortal Realm has endured enough suppression. It’s time to make a move.
Besides, the rule mentions no annihilation. It doesn’t explicitly prohibit enslavement, does it?"
Xuantian God said, "But something still feels off about this..."
"What could be off?" Cangtian God waved his hand impatiently. "We’ve reached this point; there’s no turning back.
If we remain trapped in this stifling world, what awaits us other than decay? As long as we enslave the Lower Five Realms, the power of the Six Worlds’ Heavenly Dao will become ours. At that point, we can open a gateway to allow our species to descend.
When that happens, these ridiculous rules will no longer restrain us."
From his hiding place among the ancient trees, Lu Changsheng listened to these words and grasped the Immortal Realm’s true intentions.
So the Immortal Realm was actually an outer-worldly race.
It appeared their plan to dominate the Six Worlds was to use the power of the Six Worlds’ Heavenly Dao to forge a portal to other realms, paving the way for their true race to descend.
Yet...
Saying all this in front of Nuwa’s statue—weren’t they worried Nuwa might know?
Or perhaps this statue of Nuwa was just an ordinary sculpture?
Cangtian God’s next statement provided Lu Changsheng with the answer.
"As long as we don’t break the rules, they won’t know." Cangtian God glanced toward Nuwa’s statue and sneered. "In their current state, they can hardly even concern themselves with us in the Immortal Realm."
Xuantian God sighed lightly. "If that’s the case, let’s take the gamble."
Cangtian God nodded. "If we succeed, we’ll break free from their control. Even if we fail... at worst, they’ll continue to use us as a whetstone.
A whetstone of our caliber isn’t so easily discarded by them."
"Still no confirmation about the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s Core Land opening time?" Xuantian God inquired.
Cangtian God shook his head. "Although the Sun and Moon Token has been assembled, those cautious fools from the Chaos Divine Dynasty left contingency measures when setting up their relic inheritance. No precise time was fixed. Clearly, they wanted to guard against us."
Lu Changsheng understood.
When the Immortal Realm made its big move, it would likely coincide with the Core Land’s activation. Their agents in the lower realms would complete their missions, then the full-scale operation would begin.
Time was running out.
Xuantian God nodded. "If that’s the case, then so be it... What about the two of them?"
It seemed he was referring to Jiang Yiyu.
The chilling ferocity on Cangtian God’s face dissipated in an instant.
With a bitter smile, he replied, "You know Yiyu’s temperament. She doesn’t even let us enter her residence freely, let alone talk about dual cultivation."
Xuantian God smiled in agreement. "Judging by the aura Zhong Sheng exuded back then, there shouldn’t be much to worry about."
"Indeed, this lad’s talent is remarkable, especially in weapon refinement, which even surpasses yours. With proper nurture, he’s not only worthy of Yiyu but will become a major asset to the Immortal Realm. However..." Cangtian God’s gaze sharpened like an eagle’s.
"I understand." Before Cangtian God could elaborate further, Xuantian God interjected calmly, "His origins are far too peculiar. Individuals of such talent should not exist within the Yellow Rank. And even if they did, it’s impossible for them to remain so obscure."
"Although we’ve found no flaws in his background, and he hasn’t shown any anomalies, I’ll keep a close eye on him."
Cangtian God nodded. "Good. Remember, the absence of flaws is itself the biggest flaw."
"This matter is crucial. We must proceed cautiously. When the time comes, we’ll put him to the test."
As rulers of the Immortal Realm and members of the Three Great Heavenly Gods,
Cangtian God and Xuantian God were not the type to be careless.
Their vigilance toward Lu Changsheng never wavered.
Lu Changsheng understood this as well.
Which was precisely why he was eager to figure out the situation and leave as swiftly as possible.
"Let’s go and keep preparing. Also, inform Dan Lao’er to speed up his Alchemy process; we’re waiting on his results."
Xuantian God nodded.
With that, the two vanished from sight.
Only after confirming they had completely departed,
did Lu Changsheng return to Nuwa’s statue.
At that moment,
Lu Changsheng suddenly noticed Nuwa’s statue’s eyes move slightly, and a gaze from the heavens fell directly upon him...
