Chapter 11 The Descent of the Gods?
In the days that followed, Lu Heng's thoughts became clearer and clearer.
Since I'll be ascending to the Immortal Realm sooner or later, I must settle things properly on Blue Star before I leave.
The safest approach would be to directly usher the entire planet into the era of cultivation.
When the spiritual energy recovers, everyone can cultivate. Even if some strange things emerge again, this planet won't be completely powerless.
Having made up his mind, he set off that very night.
Lu Heng did not take the usual route; his figure transformed into an almost imperceptible shadow in the night, traversing between the maps of various countries.
Their goal was clear: to target secluded areas deep in the mountains and forests, rarely visited by people.
Wherever he went, he would choose a good location, take out the array base materials that he had already refined from his storage space, make hand seals, and let spiritual power seep into the earth like threads, and one after another, the Spirit Restoration Array rose from the ground.
The moment the grand formation was completed, the surrounding air trembled slightly, as if an invisible vortex began to slowly rotate, gathering the sparse spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then growing and strengthening it at an even faster speed.
After setting up the formation, he also needed to put a layer of restrictive barrier on the outside to firmly lock the fluctuations of spiritual energy within a specific area, so as not to attract the attention of the mortal world in advance.
The Dragon Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, with countless famous mountains and rivers, and its hidden geological heritage is far beyond that of other countries.
Lu Heng was naturally very biased, setting up the most and highest-grade spirit-restoring arrays within the Dragon Kingdom.
Not only that, he also personally buried top-grade spiritual veins at many spiritual energy hubs.
Once these spiritual veins are activated by the grand formation, they will continuously pump out rich spiritual energy like a heart, nourishing the mountains, rivers, and vegetation within a radius of thousands of miles.
Given time, the Dragon Kingdom will surely become the core holy land of the Blue Star's cultivation civilization.
As for other countries, the treatment is completely different.
In some places, he casually tossed out a few low-level formations, just to get by.
As for the Sakura Country, Lu Heng left nothing behind, not even a basic spirit-gathering array.
The reason is simple: they were not far from death.
In Lu Heng's eyes, this vast island nation had long been labeled as a land of death.
Moreover, that's hundreds of millions of merits! Who wouldn't love such golden merits?
The thought of accumulating merit warmed Lu Heng's heart: "Hurry up and finish them off!"
He planned to set up all the formations he had on hand, and then immediately take the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and kill all the beasts of the Sakura Kingdom, leaving none alive.
They've even planned to create a special purgatory when they have the time, where they'll soak the souls of those people one by one and subject them to endless torment.
If they just die like that, wouldn't that be too easy for them?
"If it weren't for Brother Tongzi bringing me back, I would have almost missed out on this merit of hundreds of millions." Lu Heng thought to himself as he set up the formation, feeling more and more that he was incredibly lucky.
"With such a fortuitous opportunity, my Myriad Soul Banner, tsk tsk..." Just imagining what the Myriad Soul Banner would look like after absorbing all the merit in his mind made him unable to help but curl his lips upward.
"How dazzling must that golden light of merit be?"
His hands kept moving, and he was muttering to himself, "I reckon I'll be able to wake up laughing in my sleep from now on. Just thinking about it makes me feel good."
"Hurry, hurry, there's only this last formation left!" Lu Heng took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, forced himself to focus his attention on the formation base in front of him, and increased the speed of his hands by three points.
"Finish and leave immediately, not a second's wasted!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. His spiritual energy circulated faster, and the efficiency of setting up the formation was astonishing.
The moment the last array eye was embedded into the earth's veins, the entire array emitted a soft "hum," and the spiritual energy circulation was completely connected.
Lu Heng stood up, patted non-existent dust off his hands, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Everything was ready; it was time to collect his merits.
Meanwhile, in the land of cherry blossoms.
Inside a building known as the "Miracle Toilet," the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood incense and the candlelight flickered.
Fujiko was kneeling on the ground, leaning forward, her forehead almost touching the cold ground.
Her eyes were closed, her lips moved, and she was engaged in a devout, almost fanatical prayer, attempting to communicate with some being from another dimension.
Just as she was chanting, the void in front of her suddenly and silently cracked open.
There was no earth-shattering sound, nor any dazzling light; it was as if the space had been torn open from the inside by something, leaving two thin, long slits.
From the crevice, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, their vertical pupils cold and covered with bloodshot lines, exuding an evil aura that disregarded life.
These eyes were extremely similar to those of the strange creature that Lu Heng had once crushed, only larger and colder.
Fujiko sensed the change in the aura ahead, abruptly raising her head, her face revealing a mixture of ecstatic joy and awe: "My Lord God!"
His gaze fell on those scarlet eyes, and his tone carried a hint of worry: "I saw in the video that you were injured."
"Hmph." A deep, cold snort echoed from the void. The vertical pupils in those eyes suddenly contracted, revealing undisguised resentment. "I was merely careless for a moment, and that bastard injured me. Moreover, that divine eye only possessed one-tenth of my strength. If my complete form could come here, a single finger would be enough to kill him a thousand times over!"
Fujiko cautiously raised her head and tentatively asked, "Why can't you turn over completely?"
The resentment in his scarlet eyes faded somewhat, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness.
The surrounding void distorted slightly, as if confirming its words: "The spatial restriction is blocking me from outside. That restriction is too powerful. With my current strength, I can only tear open some small openings and send some weaker monsters through."
After listening, Fujiko remained silent for a moment, her eyes darting around in their sockets as she rapidly considered something.
Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on her lips as she leaned forward and said, "My Lord, I have a plan."
"Speak." A hint of doubt flashed in his scarlet eyes, clearly not believing that this lowly human groveling at his feet could have any remarkable ideas.
However, it wouldn't hurt to listen.
"As far as I know, Lu Heng can break through the void, so he must possess powerful spatial abilities." Teng Miaozi's voice was low, her tone gradually becoming urgent: "Why don't we use reverse psychology to lure him into unleashing a full-force punch at the spatial rift? At that moment, the space will tremble, and the restrictions will inevitably break, allowing you to truly descend into this world, right?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her face, and her once pretty face was now filled with a sinister smile.
The crimson eyes in the void remained silent for a moment, then a deep, hearty laugh rolled in from the other side of the crack: "Hahaha! Not bad, you've got it!"
The doubt in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by undisguised joy and greed.
It seemed to have already seen its true form descend and slaughter everything in its path.
"When I arrive, you will be the queen, second only to the emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crack in the void slowly closed, and the pair of crimson giant eyes disappeared as if they had never existed.
The magical toilet returned to silence, with only the candlelight still flickering silently.
Fujimiya slowly stood up; her knees were numb from kneeling on the cold ground for too long.
She looked down at her slightly trembling hands, and the smile on her face gradually faded, eventually turning into a deep-seated resentment.
I raised my head and looked westward, my gaze seemingly piercing through walls and the ocean, landing directly on that vast continent.
"Lu Heng." Her voice was so soft it sounded like it was being squeezed out between her teeth: "You dared to kill Fujino-kun..."
His fingers suddenly clenched, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing out a trace of crimson.
"I will make the entire Dragon Kingdom pay with its life!"
