Martial Saint!-Chapter 1042 - 758: Origin of the Evil God, Return to the Peak (Double-Length, Please Vote)
He has descended upon this world for forty years.
This day, on a sudden whim, he decided to visit his parents of this life, so he took leave from the research institute and returned to the small mountain village.
The old blacksmith no longer forged iron; with the money sent by Lu Chenzhou, he had become a manor owner, a new local nobleman.
The farmer’s wife still loved to work, thinking daily of Aaron far away.
The old couple were both excited and thrilled upon seeing Lu Chenzhou, and had the servants prepare meals.
Although he had switched universes, this life seemed not too different.
Lu Chenzhou looked at all this, gaining a vague insight, and his heart realm subtly ascended.
With his abilities, he could easily change the destiny line of a family.
If he hadn’t descended, perhaps the old blacksmith would have long perished in those war-torn times.
After visiting his parents, Lu Chenzhou gifted them two life extension potions he personally researched and then left.
In his spiritual world, a towering tree thrived with branches and leaves.
Among the emerald green leaves, one had quietly turned golden.
Under the tree, the soul of Lu Chenzhou in pure white robes opened his eyes, murmuring: "Holy Traits..."
He had a premonition that when all the tree’s leaves turned golden,
his heart realm would fully transform, evolving from extraordinary to saint!
The old blacksmith looked at Lu Chenzhou, feeling both gratified and bitter.
Though a common man, he sometimes caught hearsay doomsday rumors at the tavern.
The pillar of this world, the director of the Ethereum Research Institute, had fallen on the front line of war, and the sky had collapsed.
"What a pity, with Aaron’s talents, he would surely shine brightly in peaceful times."
The old blacksmith sighed, living each day as it came.
...
Then, Lu Chenzhou continued to cultivate peacefully.
In the Great Universe, everything was deeply connected to him, where causality was intricate, treading carefully and cautiously like on thin ice.
Here, his causality was pitifully scant, and besides his parents, he had few friends.
Even the heavenly tribulation ignored him.
He seemed like an observer outside space and time, examining the history and changes of the Land of the Stars from an outsider’s perspective.
This feeling was quite intriguing.
The "Holy Traits" in his soul increased day by day, and his heart realm continuously elevated.
The Martial Arts Tree now had a vast area that had turned into golden leaves.
...
In the blink of an eye, Lu Chenzhou had already descended into this world for fifty years.
Temporarily unable to change the current situation, he no longer worried about Tianxia’s circumstances.
If time flowed like normal, or if the Great Universe’s time flowed faster, the Great Universe would likely be overrun.
Whether it’s Star Lord Si Chen or the Witch, once they emerge, they could easily obliterate Tianxia with a single breath.
His only hope was that time in the Great Universe flowed slower, giving him the chance to rush back and offer support.
Alternatively, when he ascended to the supreme, possessing the legendary abilities to reverse time and life and death at will, he would revive Tianxia Civilization.
If the supreme wasn’t attainable, then stronger he would become; in any case, he wouldn’t give up.
Now, Lu Chenzhou’s Martial Arts cultivation was already at the peak of the Eighth Rank, poised to take the final step at any moment.
With the Great Element Lord fallen, he was the strongest on the Mayer Plane.
These years, Lu Chenzhou apprenticed under an Eighth Level expert named Lu Lina.
That day, Aaron arrived in Lu Lina’s office.
Lu Lina, with silver hair exuding a mature charm,
held the Ninth Rank Wind Element Staff, "Wind’s Whisper," her gaze radiating an air of authority.
"Mentor, you called for me?"
"Aaron, your innate talent is quite remarkable. I’ve secured for you the opportunity to study on the Central Continent; you can join the ’Elemental Tower’ cherished by countless Elemental Messengers. If you excel later, you have the chance to become the Great Element Lord’s apprentice, perhaps even follow a legendary figure... Aaron, although you usually keep a low profile, I can see it: your potential is immense. People tend to cultivate more slowly as they progress, but you are gradually overtaking them; at just forty years old, you’re already at the Fifth Level. I truly have high hopes for you. I believe one day you will become the Great Element Lord, leave your mark on the Central Continent’s Star Monument, and be the pride of our academy."
Lu Lina’s eyes showed contentment.
Discovering a talent with the potential to ascend to Great Element Lord, she too would receive rewards from the Elemental Tower.
In her five hundred years of cultivation, she had recommended hundreds of prodigies to the tower.
But only a mere three became Great Element Lords.
Those three either perished in war or ventured far away, no longer regarding her with past sentiment.
Yet, she trusted in Aaron’s character.
First, due to their years of acquaintance, and second, from her investigation into Aaron’s background.
She inadvertently discovered that Aaron had once disguised himself, saving a person named Angus.
This Angus had only offered him a bit of guidance.
This indicated that he was a grateful young man, rarely seen in this age.
Moreover, she accidentally discovered the secret that Aaron was a powerful knight.
Because when Aaron initially killed those two robed men, he didn’t use elemental power, relying instead on his knightly physique and fighting spirit.
However, she chose not to expose Aaron; every prodigy has their little secrets. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
And in Aaron, she seemed to glimpse the shadow of a grand figure.
She was very curious, wondering what achievements Aaron could attain in the future?
Lu Chenzhou felt a twinge of concern, inadvertently progressing in the Breakthrough Realm too quickly.
He had tried hard to slow down his pace.
He wanted to blend into the Central Continent, but he planned to do so only after becoming a Great Power and restoring his strength significantly.
