Shadow Hack Chapter 884 - Holy Daughter Yu Rou

“Not bad, not bad. Many in this village have good innate talent.”

While pa.s.sing through a village, Li Yunmu secretly hid on the side to look at the mortals practicing martial arts. The majority of them were practicing standard posture, while a few of them released some martial power with every gesture and motion.

After secretly watching them for a moment, Li Yunmu continued in the direction of Lakshmi City.

The system seemed to have resurrected in his heart at that moment and said with a smile, [Those mortals have only displayed some martial power and are yet to become even flux experts. Why are you getting so excited?]

“I naturally have to be excited. How long has it been since I imparted the cultivation method? All the villages that we have pa.s.sed through have people cultivating in them. The group of mortals we rescued must have spread those martial skills.

“The most important thing, though, is that each and every person in the village is beginning to cultivate martial arts, which is a good omen. It also proves that what I thought at that time was correct. This world has decayed because of G.o.ds. The G.o.ds of the Origin World stand at a very high position, from which they suppress mortals completely.

“But it is different now. The thoughts of mortals are beginning to s.h.i.+ft. Without the presence of a G.o.d to wors.h.i.+p, they can only rely on themselves.”

Li Yunmu slowly followed along the narrow path when the system’s voice echoed in his brain again.

[What you said isn’t necessarily correct. If it was correct, I would’ve done it long ago,] it said with a sneer.

“But compared to mortals of the Origin World, the people of Earth are an exception,” Li Yunmu said with a faint smile.

System sneered and said confidently, [So what, even if the people of Earth can crawl to the top, their most formidable expert is only a half G.o.d. They don’t have a single G.o.d.]

“Earth is only a parallel plane, so producing a half G.o.d is already the limit. But what concerns these mortals living in the Origin World, the energy of the world seeps into their bodies day and night, which makes their const.i.tution very good. How about taking a gamble with me? Let’s bet on whether on the path to Lakshmi City a flux expert or even a sage flux expert will appear?”

Li Yunmu spoke indifferently, and the system in his mind was silent for a moment before agreeing.

Soon, they reached another village. It was much larger compared to the last one, and the voices of mortals were even more resonant. Li Yunmu hid at a secret place and observed them for a moment. He quickly noticed that the muscular man in the lead was releasing the presence of a flux expert with each gesture and movement.

After seeing that, the system in his brain didn’t say anything. Li Yunmu laughed then continued walking down the path. After walking for a while, he reached another village. The leader in the plaza there was emitting the presence of a ninth layer great flux expert, which was quite direct and formidable.

“So what was I saying? The mortals of this Origin World possess endless potential, and their innate talent is much higher than that of mortals of a plane. As long as they exploit it, it isn’t impossible for them to become G.o.ds,”Li Yunmu mumbled to himself while continuing to walk.

There wasn’t a single person on the path, so he naturally wouldn’t bother chatting mentally with the system. It didn’t say anything and remained silent for a while before sighing in the end.

After hearing it, Li Yunmu knew that the system had accepted his theory in its heart, but was finding it difficult to believe it. As the only True G.o.d who created the G.o.ds and the Origin World, he had finally discovered that the world he created was decaying and he found it difficult to accept it.

With the system staying silent in his brain, Li Yunmu used heavenly insect step to rush toward Lakshmi City. After he continued for some time, he reached the edge of Lakshmi City in a short time. When he entered that area, the number of mortal residences increased, and the population became much more concentrated.

The places he saw previously could only be called villages while what he was seeing right then were the tribes. While pa.s.sing through the few of them, Li Yunmu sensed the presence of several sage flux experts.

He hadn’t thought that someone would truly rise to initial stage sage flux expert in such a short time. This level of apt.i.tude was truly terrifying. But what he hadn’t expected was that despite the people being so close to the edge of Lakshmi City, neither Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi nor the twelve holy daughters had come to suppress them.

“Who is it? Sneaking here?”

Just when Li Yunmu was thinking of entering a tribe and taking a look, a crisp and cold voice echoed behind him. He turned around and saw a young woman with white clothes fluttering in the wind standing in the sky. Her white teeth and red lips looked extremely adorable.

Once Li Yunmu examined her, he realized her ident.i.ty. When he was in the Pipa Clan, a group of holy daughters had come from Lakshmi City to provide a.s.sistance. The young woman in front of him was one of the holy daughters who had come.

When the holy daughter looked at Li Yunmu’s face, she was startled for a moment. She recalled something and quickly pulled back her divine presence before floating down to the ground.

“So it is you, what are you doing here?” she asked with a smile. “Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi is in Lakshmi City. Young sister Bai Ling and Ancient G.o.ddess Brunhilda are also there. Why didn’t you enter the city and instead came to this tribe?”

Li Yunmu watched the charming holy daughter for a moment before suspiciously asking, “I wonder what is this holy daughter known as?”

Yu Rou’s body moved slightly, and she said with a smile. “I am Jade Flute Clan’s holy daughter, known as Yu Rou. You can just call me Yu Rou. Speaking of which, I still need to address you as G.o.d.

“However,” she said with some suspicion, “lord still hasn’t answered me. Why are you hanging around this tribe?”

“When I was pa.s.sing through here, I sensed the presence of an initial stage sage flux expert in the mortal tribe, which I found somewhat strange, so I came to take a look,” Li Yunmu answered truthfully. Just a moment ago, he had wanted to see whether such a large tribe had any talented people.

If they had, then making them his disciples wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Yu Rou nodded, thinking that the appearance of an initial stage sage flux experts in a mortal tribe was only because of the contribution of this lord in front of her.

She then slowly said, “Lord, this territory is under Lakshmi City’s control. The mortals can cultivate martial arts and cultivation methods only because of you. Previously, if Lakshmi City or ancient G.o.ddess learned about it, they probably would have been stopped.

“After all, cultivators walk the path of defying the heavens. Once they step on it, they don’t produce any power of belief. Although our Lakshmi City doesn’t use power of belief to create G.o.ds, our reliance on power of belief is still very high.

“Ancient G.o.ddess said that with the great war imminent, the little amount of power of belief is no longer of any use. It would be better to let the mortals strengthen themselves to defend against what is to come.”

Li Yunmu nodded. Who could have thought that Ancient G.o.d Lakshmi would be so broad-minded. The traditions of Lakshmi City were also related to that, like not relying on power of belief to cultivate. Because of that, the citizens naturally wouldn’t place much importance on it.

If it had been Asura City and Asura learned about such happenings, he would certainly exterminate all the mortals practicing martial skills so as to prevent a shortage of power of belief.

“Yu Rou, what are you doing at the edge of Lakshmi City? Since you are a holy daughter, you should be guarding the ancient G.o.ddess in Lakshmi City.”
