Chapter Five: The Opening of the Main God Space (Part One)
At this moment, Wu Ming found himself on the brink of death. He felt that he had lost all sensation in his lower body, while his upper body was in excruciating pain, particularly in his lungs. He was continuously coughing up blood, each cough bringing forth more blood, making it difficult for him to breathe. Gradually, he felt an increasing chill spreading throughout his entire body
Elfa is a half-elf wizard apprentice who arrived at the elven capital, Greenlight, with her teacher six months ago and has temporarily settled down next to her teacher's magical laboratory
Wu Ming, like a lazy donkey rolling over, passed by. At the same time, his mind was filled with great terror, a lament of dying and dying, yet also with a chilling calmness that was almost cruel, allowing him to instantly see the opportunity
Unexpectedly, Elfa uttered a word, a simple vocabulary
At this moment, the giant wolf had already realized that Wu Ming was not where it had pounced. In a sudden turn, it saw Wu Ming unexpectedly charging directly at it. Before it could swing its claws or open its mouth to bite, Wu Ming astonishingly leaped up and hung his body on the spear.
El Fatton was suddenly taken aback, almost throwing the scroll away. However, this was an abandoned scroll, still containing residual magical energy. If it were not destroyed according to the proper procedure, there was a high possibility of magical backlash. Therefore, he still held the scroll tightly, though his mind was in turmoil.
Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you truly want to... live?
This already belongs to an extraordinary level, far beyond that of an ordinary beast. The tree it just climbed was as thick as an adult's waist. Ordinary ferocious beasts, unless they are elephants or rhinoceroses, would not be able to break it directly; even tigers and lions could not do so. Yet this wolf easily broke it, which is truly incredible
Wu Ming has learned the Shangqing Battle Fist, which is one of the Shangqing martial arts. Although it is the most basic form of Shangqing martial arts, it is nonetheless an orthodox martial art, characterized by its balance and harmony. With long-term practice, as long as one is not excessively foolish, one can generally unleash internal energy. Of course, this would not be possible in a world devoid of magic, but at the very least, it can strengthen the body.
Wu Ming shouted in his heart, and his entire body immediately rolled over with the force of the tumble. He saw the giant wolf by the bonfire howling madly, continuously crashing into and rolling around the area. The very tree where Wu Ming had just taken refuge was actually broken in half by the impact. Sand and stones flew everywhere, making Wu Ming feel a surge of panic. The strength of this giant wolf was truly overwhelming.
Wu Ming also did not understand why his original self chose the Upper Clear Martial Arts. Generally speaking, high school graduates tend to choose the Jade Clear Martial Arts to calm their inner anxieties, while elderly and adult individuals are more likely to opt for the Great Clear Martial Arts. As for the Upper Clear Martial Arts, apart from a few military personnel, it is generally not very popular in the market of the Primordial Continent.
I want to die
Yes
At the same time, the Decaying Clan began to rot the land occupied by the Dark Camp, which had turned into swamps and grave mounds. Even if those lands were to be reclaimed, they would remain uninhabitable for at least a century
Among the three mainstream martial arts of the Honghuang Continent, the Ta Qing martial arts possess the strongest fitness benefits and are the most effective in prolonging life. The Yu Qing martial arts excel in cultivating the mind and are best suited for calming the heart and alleviating anxiety. Although the Shang Qing martial arts are also a mainstream form of martial arts, they contain a hint of true intent of killing, which can be alarming to those who understand it
Moreover, the enmity of parents, the enmity of childhood friends, the enmity of companions
As a wizard, even as a magic apprentice, Elfa is aware of an abundance of mysterious knowledge. Among this knowledge, the understanding of the malevolent deities, demons, and the indescribable entities that once ruled the world in ancient times, which can seduce the hearts of men and corrupt souls, is of utmost importance in the education of a magic apprentice, for there is a fear that they may stray onto the wrong path
Yes, No
Evil god? Demon? Or an unnameable entity?
Elfa was lost in thought when the quill in his subordinate's hand bent slightly, jolting him back to reality, and a pained expression immediately appeared on his face
The parchment made from snow goat skin, combined with high-quality demon owl blood, can increase the production rate of magical scrolls by at least 10%. The price is extraordinarily high, and he only has three supplies for the week. With this failure in production, the success rate for the remaining two sheets is only 50%. In other words, this week has been in vain for him
Internal power is also one of the extraordinary powers of humanity in the Honghuang Continent, but its upper limit is too low. Even if one reaches the peak of internal power, known as the innate grandmaster, it still only belongs to the foundational level of cultivation, which is truly insignificant in the context of the Honghuang Continent
What appeared last in his mind was the teacher who had been sighing incessantly lately, with increasingly graying hair
However, it is precisely because of this Supreme Clear Martial Arts that even though he has now lost his true power and genetic lock, he still has a firm grasp on his physical control. Especially in his current state of calmness bordering on coldness, he was able to leap down from the treetop in an instant, with his long hair firmly aimed at the wound on the giant wolf's head.
In a moment of piercing, Wu Ming felt that the force in his hand had only penetrated about 30% of the way; the spear tip had not yet fully entered. After all, the hole left by the tooth mark was not large, and the spear tip was stuck against the bone. At the same time, an immense force surged from the spear, which Wu Ming could not control, and he was directly thrown away, rolling several times on the grass before coming to a stop
At this moment, there was no time to think about anything else. The giant wolf rolled and half-raised its body, then looked at Wu Ming with a gaze that was enough to make an ordinary person’s legs go weak. It was a form of intimidation; those who were a bit timid might even hesitate to move. At the same time, the giant wolf was about to pounce on Wu Ming, with a distance of nearly 10 meters between them. In a single leap, the giant wolf was already in front of Wu Ming.
The demon race further imprisons and tortures living beings, causing them to continuously emit negative consciousness. This is the sustenance of the demon race, and those who have been tortured, even if rescued, are rendered useless.
Just as Elfa was about to destroy the abandoned scroll, the text on the scroll suddenly began to move on its own, transforming into a script he recognized as the universal language.
At this moment, it is unclear whether it is fate or the result of Wu Ming's random movements, but during the process of his body gradually healing and repairing, the damage to his spinal nerves led to his limbs instinctively moving... and his arm ended up pressing on the option to summon someone
The spear did not pierce the giant wolf's brain, but this strike undoubtedly affected it. In that brief moment of pouncing, Wu Ming clearly saw that one of the giant wolf's hind legs and one of its forelegs were not bearing weight, indicating that the spear had already injured its nerves.
Moreover, the recent success was purely a matter of luck; it is impossible for him to be this fortunate every time
The spear was thrust into the skull of the giant wolf, its tip hardened from being scorched. Wu Ming's entire body hung onto it, causing the spear tip to immediately tilt upward, violently tearing a gash in the giant wolf's brain. Amidst the wolf's frenzied howls, it actually charged towards the ground with the spear and Wu Ming. With a muffled thud, Wu Ming's entire back was bent from the impact, and he continuously spat out blood and fragments of internal organs. The spear, under the force of the ground, pierced deeply inward, directly entering the central part of the giant wolf's brain. The wolf's pupils instantly dilated, and it barely had time to bare its teeth before collapsing lifelessly.
Elfa is the offspring of an elven father and a human mother. During the great retreat of the Light faction, his father, a knight, and his mother, a priestess, both went to the front lines. Subsequently, the tragic news arrived that none of the ambush team survived. However, thanks to their sacrifice, the living forces of the Light faction were largely able to retreat, primarily to the elven capital of Greenlight, the dwarven capital of Grayiron Fortress, and the angelic capital of Radiant Land.
However, even so, the speed of the giant wolf's movements was still much faster than his, and its strength was astonishingly great. Wu Ming made a preliminary assessment in his mind; just a single solid hit from this giant wolf would immediately render him incapable of action. It wouldn't even require claws or teeth; merely a collision could potentially cost him half his life. The disparity in strength between them was far too great.
The leap occurred without any warning, and the giant wolf happened to be engulfed in flames, one bright and one dark. Moreover, the giant wolf was already injured, compounded by the element of surprise and the factors of a weaker party's counterattack. In that instant, the giant wolf surprisingly did not react until Wu Ming was almost within arm's reach. Only when the pair of eyes filled with murderous intent reflected in the giant wolf's gaze did it suddenly awaken in shock and anger. However, it was already too late; it could only watch helplessly as the long hair pierced into the wound on its head, directly penetrating through the imprint left by the teeth that had bitten through its skull.
In the span of six months, the Radiant faction has shown no signs of progress; on the contrary, the Shadow faction continues to advance relentlessly. It is said that one-third of the Endless Green Sea barrier beyond the green light has already been burned and corrupted. Some mages predict that within a month at most, the vanguard of the Shadow faction will reach the City of Green Light. By that time, it is possible that the Elven race may face extinction
This is the Elven Capital, Greenlight, located atop the remnants of the World Tree in the center of the Endless Green Sea, where more than eighty percent of the entire continent's elves and half-elves reside
Elfa immediately resolved to call out to the teacher, but inexplicably, he saw these words: the meaning of life, truly living... In his heart appeared the kind faces of his parents, the childhood friend who had been possessed by a ghost and then gouged out his own eyes, and the little companions who had been ambushed by the decaying tribe during their retreat, each transformed into terrifying, distorted beings.
Elfa cannot think too much; he is merely a lowly apprentice mage. According to his master, he still needs to study for at least ten more years before he might become a junior mage. And ten years... by then, he would likely have been corrupted, imprisoned, or directly killed and turned into the undead
Defeated the Windwalker Demon Wolf, received a reward of fifty points, successfully extracted the Heavenly Dao Affinity value, and the Main God Space has been activated
In a daze, Wu Ming seemed to hear a sound, and then he felt a bright light before him, along with a warm sensation flooding into his body, causing the pain throughout him to begin to diminish. He gradually regained sensation in his lower body. Unbeknownst to him, several numbers and options appeared before his eyes. The number was fifty, but it was continuously decreasing until it finally vanished at thirty-seven. Meanwhile, the other options included self-attribute enhancement, bloodline, technique, equipment, and summoning. Among these, except for self-attribute enhancement and summoning, the bloodline, technique, and equipment were all shrouded in a hazy black color. Self-attribute enhancement was divided into many sub-options, and even selecting one required further choices. Only the summoning option could be used with a single click, and each time the summoning option was selected, the number indicated was ten.
Six months ago, the Battle of Radiance came to an end, with the Radiant faction suffering a great defeat between the Death Plains and the Azure Mountains. A total of six Seraphim, including the Archangel Edward, fell, and countless other angels perished. The essence of the allied races, including elves, humans, dwarves, and gnomes, was nearly annihilated. The Dark faction subsequently seized the territory of the Radiant faction, plundering and slaughtering along the way. The death lineage within the Dark faction killed every living being they encountered, absorbing their souls and creating more undead skeletons. Along the way, they killed at least a million civilians, and it is said that demigod-level necromantic entities have already been born.
