MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 640 - 128: Dreaming Back to the Ancient Times (20)

"By sheer coincidence, just as Lu Hong crashed through the wall, Lei Sai was helping Hai Ge up."

"The two looked towards the source of the noise and Lu Hong was quite embarrassed."

"At that moment, soldiers from outside the hall rushed in and completely surrounded Lu Hong."

"Don’t fight, don’t fight, it’s all a misunderstanding," Hai Ge quickly started to explain, "This is our clan’s young Clan Leader, Mr. Xiao Zheng."

"Xiao Zheng?" Lei Sai looked him up and down, then waved his hand dismissively, "Everyone, stand down."

"As you command!"

Once all the soldiers had withdrawn, Lei Sai finally approached Lu Hong, a smile on his face, "So, you are the one who taught Hai Ge his skills?"

"Yes, Xiao Zheng has seen the venerable Sai Lei!" To be fair, being the first Heavenly God of the Human Race, he was definitely deserving of respect.

"Hmm." Lei Sai nodded, then said to Hai Ge and Lu Hong, "Come with me, we’ll talk in the backyard."

The three of them moved from the front hall to the backyard, where the Great Elven King who lived there glanced at Lu Hong and said discontentedly, "Lei Sai, are you joking with me?"

"Calm down, Great Elven King, they will certainly not reveal your whereabouts."

Still discontent, the Great Elven King huffed, "Do you know what a causal line is?"

"This...," Lei Sai admitted, genuinely stumped.

"The Heavenly God of the Beast Race, Lu Baiyuan, has the ability to penetrate causality. Although I can shield my own causality from being detected, Lu Baiyuan just needs to glance at you to travel back in time and see all your pasts."

The words of the Great Elven King truly enlightened Lu Hong and the others; they hadn’t realized that such a divine being with such incredible capabilities existed among the Beast Race.

"So, we just have to make sure we aren’t seen by Lu Baiyuan, right?" Hai Ge collected himself and retorted, "I’ve never seen a Heavenly God before, anyway."

"Are you sure? Am I not one?"

The Great Elven King withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

"I...," Damn, it seemed like he really was, and moreover, the Heavenly God they were conversing with wasn’t ordinary at all. During the peak era of the Elven race, there were three Great Elven Kings, each possessing formidable power. Together, the three Great Elven Kings could even make the Lionheart God hesitate to fight, but Lu Hong knew that once one of the Great Elven Kings died, a second would soon follow. Afterwards, elves began their decline, with many forced to migrate and settle on the Eternal Continent.

After the Great Elven King left, Lei Sai did not follow but instead invited Lu Hong to sit down and said, "Brother Xiao Zheng, I have just one question, and I hope you can answer me truthfully, as this question concerns the fate of the Human Race!"

As soon as Lei Sai spoke, Lu Hong knew what kind of question it would be, and he directly replied, "Talent cannot be taught."

"What then, did you teach Hai Ge?"

"It is something lesser than talent."

"Not hiding anything from you, brother, I have always been dedicated to researching how to pass on the supernatural abilities I command, but no matter how I teach, they cannot grasp the essence of it."

Faced with the question thrown by Lei Sai, Lu Hong clearly knew the answer; frankly, it was a matter of skill level being too high while the learners’ levels were too low, thus making it impossible to activate.

To use a skill, one must have either an equal or higher level than required by the skill.

And those who do not possess magical powers like Sai Lei, how could they possibly learn Lei Sai’s skills?

"Venerable Sir, if you truly wish to know the answer, once you enter the Heavenly God Realm, you will understand it by yourself."

"Really?"

Lu Hong nodded. "Yes, once you enter the Heavenly God Realm, you will be able to perceive the power you possess, understand its essence, and only then can you compile and pass it on."

"Good, good!" Lei Sai was very pleased to get the answer. This question had troubled him for a long time. It turned out that it wasn’t that he was incompetent, but rather that his strength hadn’t yet reached the required level. With a goal in mind, Lei Sai had a clear objective to strive for and would no longer fall into confusion.

"Xiao brother, you really are my lucky star!" Lei Sai sincerely exclaimed. "When I first saw Hai Ge, I could tell that he possessed a unique power within him. Upon asking, it was indeed extraordinary. Surely, the ability you passed on came from a Heavenly God?"

Lu Hong glanced at Hai Ge and then replied, "Yes, from a Heavenly God called War God."

"War God..." Lei Sai muttered to himself. "What a domineering name."

"Of course." Knowing the glorious war records of War God during the Era of the Gods, the name was truly deserved.

"May I ask where the War God is now?"

"Uh... I don’t know." Lu Hong shook his head. "He passed on his skill to me in a dream, then never appeared again."

"What a pity!" Lei Sai pounded his chest in sorrow. Although he didn’t think the War God was a Heavenly God of the Human Race, since he was willing to teach skills to the Human Race, this Heavenly God must have a favorable view of them. Lei Sai felt he was very close to the threshold of Heavenly God. If someone could give him some guidance, perhaps it could greatly shorten the time it would take him to advance.

Lu Hong understood Lei Sai’s thoughts and then said, "Lord Lei Sai, the most important thing to breakthrough in the Heavenly God Realm is introspection, and another aspect is creativity—creating your own ultimate secret technique."

"Introspection... creating a secret technique?" Listening to Lu Hong, Lei Sai felt he had grasped something. After pondering for a while, he bowed to Lu Hong. "Lei Sai thanks brother Xiao for the guidance. If there’s anything you need in the future, I will definitely help with full strength."

"Haha, I’ll remember Lord Lei Sai’s kindness," said Lu Hong without refusal, certain that War God lived in this era. To find him, just relying on himself wasn’t enough. If Lei Sai could help, it would certainly be much more effective.

After this conversation, Lu Hong’s every word was precious, making Lei Sai dare not underestimate the man before him. So young, yet possessing broader insights than him, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "No wonder little Hai is unwilling to return to his clan!"

"Uncle!" Hearing Lei Sai was about to reveal his identity, Hai Ge quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Alright, alright, I won’t say it. It’s up to you, all up to you." Lei Sai waved his hand, not giving Lu Hong a chance to inquire, then continued, "It’s getting late. Brother Xiao, you should take Hai Ge back. Leave Nansha quickly. A great battle will break out here soon. Your strengths are still lacking; it’s better not to get involved."

Originally, Lei Sai had planned to invite Lu Hong to join forces against the orc army, but after realizing Lu Hong’s value, Lei Sai believed this man’s future was limitless. In time, he would surely become a pillar of the Human Race. He must not be trapped here.

As soon as Lu Hong left, Lei Sai, feeling uneasy, called his personal guard and his daughter, Lei Jinjin.

"Jinjin." Lei Sai affectionately stroked his daughter’s head. "Have you been seriously practicing the ability Dad taught you recently?"

"Dad!" Lei Jinjin moved back half a step, dissatisfied with Lei Sai’s action. "I’m eighteen already. Can you stop patting my head? It’s embarrassing!"

"Alright, alright."

"Anyway, what did you call me here for?" Lei Jinjin asked.

"I want you to escort a group of people back to the Lazhe Forest."

"What? Am I hearing right?" Lei Jinjin’s expression was peculiar. "We’re about to go to war with the orc army, and at this critical moment, you want me to escort people to Lazhe? By the time I make the trip and return, the war will probably be over."

"I want you not to come back." Lei Sai stated bluntly. "Whether Nansha will be captured depends entirely on the battle at the Heavenly God level, and has little to do with us. As long as the Great Elven King can kill the tiger howlers, even if numerous tiger howler armies invade, Nansha will still be very safe. But if the ambush fails, staying here would just add another soul to Nansha’s casualties."

"The Human Race should defend its territory and fight the orcs to the end. It doesn’t matter who dies, but the death must have value! If I fall on the path of resisting the orcs, thousands and thousands more like me will stand up again." Lei Jinjin obviously embraced her beliefs bound with the destiny of the Human Race from a young age.

This was not what Lei Sai wanted to see. He had already paid a lot for the Human Race and knew how hard this path could be. Therefore, he didn’t want his daughter to also labor endlessly and face endless pursuit by the orcs.

"Lei Jinjin!" Knowing he couldn’t persuade his daughter, Lei Sai had to pull rank: "I now command you as a Human Race saint to escort the young Clan Leader Xiao Zheng back to the Lazhe Forest. This is an order! You must obey!"

"Bullshit!" Lei Jinjin, who had a fiery temper, slammed the table in protest. "I don’t accept this command. Even if I die, I want to die in Nansha Town, and you can’t make me leave Nansha!"

The guards, used to seeing the parents argue, didn’t find it strange. They slowly retreated without leaving a trace, leaving the stage to the two of them to argue it out, ready to follow through with whatever outcome they decided.
