Chapter 1016 Not for Immortality, But to Wait for Your Return in the Mortal World
It was an impulse purchase.
That's how it is sometimes. After all, you've already said it, saying you want to prove that what you've collected isn't garbage.
But isn't it a waste to use something so expensive and with limited uses in this place?
"Little brother, even trash has its destination." Xing's eyes held a hint of expectation.
"The final destination of garbage is the incinerator. Everything that is contrary to existence is destined to be collected by the super garbage bin, which is meaningless," Su Lin said calmly.
Feng Xiaoxiao asked about the setting: "Isn't the opposite of existence nothingness?"
"The original text of the previous sentence is 'Even a strong wind has its way home,' and the 'super trash can' here refers to the 'Black General's' nothingness," Klein said, eating the ice cream he had pulled out of the historical projection.
Normally, it would be a huge struggle for anyone else to keep up with the logic of these two.
However, most of the time, one of the two translators, March 7th and Klein, would be present randomly, so it was alright.
As for the situation where both of them are present, the group members will generally not stay in one place, nor will they have time to care about the content of the translation.
"A fragment of the *Huangdi Neijing*, the dregs and discarded cauldrons left by Shennong in his alchemy, the bronze plaque and lotus platform of the Great Thunder Temple, and the belt of Li Er, also known as the Golden Rope."
Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "At most, I would admit that these are historical artifacts. Where is the value you're talking about?"
"What's the rush?" Su Lin looked away and started choosing again.
In the past few days, they have searched all over the world for famous historical sites and even found the resting places of several quasi-emperors, bringing out the artifacts that had been lost in various secret realms.
Perhaps I'm suffering from decision paralysis; with all sorts of extraordinary things piled up together, it's hard to make a choice.
"Which one should I choose?" Su Lin glanced at the items.
The Golden Saint Cloth, the Jade Disc of He Shi Bi, the Thunder Spear, fragments of the Hetu Luoshu, the Nuwa Stone, fragments of the Fuxi Dragon Stele, the Spear of Destiny, and various ancestral artifacts and divine relics are on display. There are only three opportunities left to drastically modify them, and each time it will cost nearly 16 million in value.
The specific effects are still unknown, so it is necessary to carefully select a suitable item to avoid waste.
"What do you think of these four immortal swords and the array diagram?" Meng Qi went to the starry sky and returned, now holding four immortal swords with a strong aura of killing intent.
"Where did it come from?"
"Following the causal connection of the title Lingbao Tianzun, I found the Bitter Sea Secret Realm left in the starry sky after his passing."
Lingbao Tianzun possessed extraordinary talent, surpassing all other nine celestial beings in ability, and his influence extended far beyond the nine heavens and ten earths.
The four killing swords, along with the array diagram, represent a terrifying ultimate power. They are peerless treasures that can kill immortals even at the Supreme Realm. Even if one reaches the True Immortal Realm or becomes a Mortal Immortal, one can still benefit from the laws and the origin of the array.
These two items have significant potential for appreciation.
Everyone was astonished. They never expected Meng Qi to be so cunning. He managed to find the inheritance by following the cause and effect, even though it was just a coincidence that someone had the same name.
"This is called Yin?!" Meng Qi's lips twitched.
Just as he was about to say something, Su Lin reached out her hand from the side: "Let me take a look."
Meng Qi was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what Su Lin was planning, he was sure that something good would happen when the other party pulled out some unknown magical gadget from a mysterious supply channel.
These four immortal swords might be used for experiments.
Whoosh-!
Buzz buzz!
Four meteors tore through the sky, soaring into the deep universe and ascending to infinite heights.
"My Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation! Ahhhhhh!" Meng Qi roared as he chased after him.
Su Lin clapped his hands and gave a disdainful click of his tongue.
As the causes and effects of all things change, Meng Qi returned carrying four immortal swords. Looking at this person, he couldn't help but say, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"
"Sorry, my hand slipped." Su Lin glanced sideways and whistled.
After assessment, it was determined that of all the items present, only the sword formation and immortal sword in Meng Qi's hands were no longer worth modifying.
Eliminating a worthless option is something to celebrate.
That being said, aren't there any other good things?
Su Lin looked around again, wondering if he should just take out the broken Immortal Ascension Cauldron, which was Yu Feng's original body, since it was definitely superior to these things in terms of specifications.
As he was pondering this, not far away, Shi Hao walked over carrying a Dao-Slaying Dragon Horse whose front legs and feet were bound.
The dragon steed was wreathed in flames, its scales, as red as phoenix blood and gold, shimmered and sparkled, and it radiated light. It had two dragon horns on its head and its eyes were filled with terror.
"I'll take it back to the Great Wilderness and feed it for a while. If it can reach the Quasi-Supreme Realm, it will be very delicious."
"Isn't this Ye Fan's mount? Did you go to the Immortal Ascension Land?"
"When Han Li and I went there to gather herbs, it came up and tried to kick me in the face."
Shi Hao only wanted to scare this thing, but this dragon-horse was a beast, and it naturally feared Shi Hao, the most terrifying predator in the chaotic ancient world. At this moment, its dragon eyes were wide open, and it rolled its head back and fainted.
However, this incident reminded Su Lin of the scene he saw when he first arrived on Earth.
So he immediately took action, leading everyone to the land of immortality.
The tens of thousands of peaks here are all shaped like dragon heads, each one lifelike and awe-inspiring. They are all formed by nature and can be described as a masterpiece of nature.
In the deepest part of the area, each dragon-head peak opens its mouth, cascading down a colorful waterfall, its radiant light converging towards the central fairy pool.
This was a work left behind by the Emperor, and later modified by the Feathered Divine Dynasty and the great emperors who were buried on Earth. Even in the Dharma-ending Age, it can be called unparalleled in the world.
Thanks to this, many rare and precious fruits and ancient medicines are preserved here, in various grades and types.
Han Li was collecting seeds, while Su Lin's gaze was fixed on a grave.
"Found it!" Su Lin's eyes lit up.
This tomb cuts through the magic array within the Immortal Valley, but there is no corpse inside. Only dozens of fragments are pieced together to form a ghost face mask, which stands alongside a blood-stained garment.
[I'm just worried about my sister...]
From the broken ghost mask in the grave, a faint voice emerges, filled with regret, resentment, and pleading, as if it has traveled through time.
The sound was not made by the boy, but by someone later using forbidden and heaven-defying methods to ensure that the boy's last words before his death would not be extinguished.
The mask was made of ordinary copper and was crudely made. It was not comparable to the 'treasures' that had been searched from various places before, and it did not have any actual killing power. However, Su Lin couldn't wait to dig into the soil and take out the broken mask.
"This is a treasure with a very significant history."
Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl who had no parents and depended on each other for survival. Although they were poor, they were very happy. The ghost mask was their only toy.
However, the boy was later discovered to be a prodigy by the Feathered God Dynasty and forcibly abducted.
Before leaving, the little girl cried as she chased after the boy, handing him the ghost mask in front of the five-colored altar.
Later on...
The little girl received news of her brother's death, along with these last belongings.
Around two hundred thousand years ago, an empress appeared out of nowhere. She was the most talented woman in history, and also the most ruthless person in history. After destroying the Feathered God Dynasty, she buried this mask here with her own hands, while ignoring the ginseng fruit tree and other immortal medicines.
"This is it." Su Lin carefully took it out.
In terms of fame, this is the only toy that the Ruthless Emperor and his brother had when they were young.
“This one is the only thing I feel will only bring trouble and have no value,” Xiao Yan said.
"Value needs to be discovered, not just superficially observed."
Su Lin took a deep breath, making sure that she didn't need to use super glue, before taking out a membership card and a strangely shaped, rusty mailbox.
It has a scratched logo and is painted in red, white and green.
The surroundings became much quieter, and everyone gathered around. After waiting for a long time, they were finally able to see some new and interesting things.
Lu Mingfei looked up and scanned his surroundings, feeling as if Doraemon and a group of elementary school students were gathered in an open space preparing test props.
The sense of déjà vu grew stronger, and he began searching for "Big Bear," who had the worst grades and the most shooting talent, only to find that Klein was staring intently at him at that very moment.
"?"
"."
Klein shook his head and looked away.
Damn it, the student with the worst academic performance is clearly Huo Wang. No, wait! Huo Zi cheated and got the best score in science?!
He originally wanted to ask Shirou Emiya about his high school grades, but at this moment, Su Lin had already packed up the ghost mask and thrown it into the mailbox along with the strange black membership card.
【Dimensional Overlord Kreit's Modification Workshop Membership Card (3/5)】: Dimensional Overlord Kreit and the endless multiverses in the void dimension he rules will give your items a special modification because of this card.
User Guide 3: Please mail the items that need to be modified and your membership card yourself.
[Trans-dimensional Mailbox (Damaged)]: Blood, soul, hair, and causal connections can serve as mediums. Items placed in the mailbox will be received by the recipient regardless of their location in any universe or time. Spatial distance does not incur postage, but temporal distance requires a high postage fee. The trans-temporal function is currently disabled.
I was worried about how to mail items, but when I was rummaging through my backpack, I found a mailbox that had been gathering dust for a long time.
It was an unexpected delight. Fortunately, when Ye Fan was holding an auction in Zhutian City, he saw this thing and thought it seemed interesting, so he kept it.
I never expected that the two items could be used together. This is the first time I've ever achieved a set effect.
"It's being sent to the owner of this membership card, and the recipient is Kreet," Su Lin said, patting the mailbox with some uncertainty.
"What are you doing?!" Ye Fan's shout rang out.
With a single step, the stars shifted and he instantly appeared in the land of immortality. His voice and form arrived in sync, but as soon as he reached out, the mailbox and its contents transformed into particles of light that shot into the sky.
Like stars shattering in the Milky Way, dazzling light scattered in all directions before finally merging into the void.
At the same time, in a secluded place.
Just as Ye Tiandi, who was lazing around in the immortal realm with a worried expression, picked up a cup of hot tea, a phantom reflection of a mailbox suddenly appeared before his eyes.
He sensed something was off, and his gaze swept over the spot. The next moment...
The dark vortex spun, and the mailbox, along with its contents, was stripped away from infinite space and time, disappearing from the source of endless causal threads.
Invisible ripples spread out, from the source.
It was a corner of the boundless void.
"Uninvited guest. Wait, where did these transcendent beings come from?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his email returned.
With a bang, a unique ghost mask, timeless and immortal, flew out and transformed into three streams of light.
[The shipper's identity has been confirmed; this major modification service has been completed, including a free mailbox repair. However, if you place another order with freight collect or disruptive practices, I'll have someone rip you off. Don't even think about getting a second chance.]
"?"
The words just fell.
One of them, along with the mailbox, fell into the boundless universe of the past, while another landed on Ye Tiandi's waist, transforming back into a ghost mask.
In a place devoid of the concept of time and space, a ball of light, originally dim, brightened, emanating a powerful aura, as if it was about to break free but was just one step away.
That was the Empress
Is she about to reach that level too?!
Emperor Ye suddenly looked at the ghost face mask at his waist, and the Empress, who was still undergoing transformation, also looked over. Her gaze was so profound that it stunned him.
The words I had heard before echoed once more.
"You are not him, or perhaps you are him."
At the level of the sacrificial ceremony, what truly needs to be sacrificed is not only the Dao itself, but also the path of evolution and even oneself. The Empress had already conceived of this and dared to face annihilation.
Of all things, there was one thing she could not give up.
Emperor Ye and Emperor Huang instantly understood.
At the height of its glory, the final radiance etched beyond heaven and earth, into the ultimate rules that were not within the Dao, thus completing the foundation that the Empress had originally lacked.
"Await your return."
She saw the ghostly mask, and smiled, "Brother."
Su Niu Ma, you niu ma!
You son of a bitch!!!
My cough is bad, so I'll keep it short. I'll write more in the next chapter.
