Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 717 - 242 Lu Changsheng Steps into the Divine Domain! Suppressing the Villains in the Name of the Evil God! _3
Being able to leave the Divine Domain freely—that was crucial.
However, even so, few dared to venture into the Divine Domain.
Because the Divine Domain was immensely dangerous.
Lu Changsheng was getting closer and closer to the Divine Domain.
Until, eventually, he reached its very edge.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
In the next moment, without any hesitation, Lu Changsheng’s figure flickered and he directly "stepped" into the Divine Domain.
"Swish."
When Lu Changsheng entered the Divine Domain, he felt a sudden brightness in his vision.
The coastline around him seemed to vanish instantly.
Turning his head, he could only sense traces of an Array’s shroud,
but he could no longer see the outside world.
Lu Changsheng then tried to leave again.
No problem.
He returned to the coast.
"It seems the Divine Domain truly allows free entry and exit."
Testing it out reassured Lu Changsheng completely.
Thus, he stepped into the Divine Domain once more.
Inside the Divine Domain, Lu Changsheng saw lush, verdant forests.
However, he immediately noticed something peculiar.
Although the Divine Domain was also filled with nature’s spiritual energy,
there seemed to be another strange power aside from the spiritual energy.
This power felt slightly familiar to Lu Changsheng.
"Is this... the Momentum of All Beings?"
"No, that’s not right. It’s not exactly the Momentum of All Beings. It merely bears some resemblance, but it’s fundamentally different..."
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows slightly.
He recalled the intelligence provided by the Holy Land.
In the Divine Domain, the gods ruled supreme.
The gods were exalted beings, the embodiment of rules, and they rarely governed mortals directly.
Instead, some mortals observed these gods and vaguely deduced unique methods to mimic them, leading others to worship them.
This was the Power of Faith!
By using the Power of Faith, they mimicked certain rules, transforming into "Virtual Gods."
True gods, however, were the ones referred to as True Gods within the Divine Domain.
Virtual Gods often depended on True Gods, but it was they who ruled over countless beings in practice.
"The Power of Faith..."
"If this really is the Power of Faith, it does bear a surface-level resemblance to the Momentum of All Beings. But the two are fundamentally different."
"The Momentum of All Beings cannot be controlled. The Power of Faith, however, is manipulated by Virtual Gods to rule over myriad beings."
"In fact, the Power of Faith gradually robs beings of their spiritual awareness, making them ignorant and slow to act. Under such conditions, neither the immortal path, martial arts, nor any other strong cultivation system could ever emerge."
"No wonder the immortal path and martial arts once joined forces to confront the gods. The conflict was a matter of life and death, a fundamental clash of ideals..."
Upon entering the Divine Domain and combining it with the Holy Land’s information,
Lu Changsheng gained a deeper understanding of the Divine Domain, the gods, and the ancient war.
"Now that I’ve entered the Divine Domain, my first priority is to lie low—I cannot let the gods discover me."
"Whether it’s True Gods or Virtual Gods, the moment they find martial artists or immortal cultivators, they will hunt them relentlessly, never resting until they are annihilated."
"Therefore, I must remain hidden."
"According to the Holy Land’s intelligence and experiences, the best approach to surviving in the Divine Domain is to appear directly as an ’Evil God.’"
Memories flashed through Lu Changsheng’s mind.
An Evil God—that is how the people in the Divine Domain referred to martial artists and immortal cultivators.
In reality, it was merely a fabricated narrative made by Virtual Gods and True Gods to target martial artists and immortal cultivators.
The beings under the gods’ rule had been indoctrinated to view Evil Gods as the most heinous of villains. If they ever encountered one, they were to report it immediately.
Under the gods’ dominion, martial artists and immortal cultivators were like rats scurrying through the streets, loathed and hunted by all.
In that sense, there wasn’t much difference between them and real Evil Gods.
"I can’t stay in the wilds forever. How else will I find Divine Fragments?"
"Besides, I can’t conceal myself indefinitely. How could I fully disguise my identity under the gods’ rule? That’s nothing more than wishful thinking."
"Therefore, I have no choice but to assume the identity of an Evil God and force my way into human society under divine governance..."
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He quickly extended his perception outward.
"Hmm?"
"Got it!"
After roughly half an hour, Lu Changsheng finally sensed signs of "humans."
"Whoosh."
With a flash of his figure, Lu Changsheng vanished without a trace.
...
Deep within the dense forest, a group of Black-Clad Figures was chasing a young woman.
The woman had a boy, around seven or eight years old, strapped to her back.
"Hurry up, Tang Lu won’t get far."
"The patriarch has ordered it—bring the Tang siblings back alive or dead."
"They’re just ahead!"
The Black-Clad Figures wore ferocious expressions, clearly intent on killing the fleeing woman and boy.
The woman and boy were siblings. With the boy on her back, the woman was running with great difficulty.
Even among the dense trees of the forest, the Black-Clad Figures were steadily gaining on them.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Several more Black-Clad Figures flanked them, cutting off Tang Lu’s escape route.
At once, Tang Lu came to a stop.
She said nothing as she drew a short blade kept close to her body, her gaze icy and sharp as frost.
"Sister, are we going to die?"
The young boy suddenly asked, his voice trembling.
Even he could sense how dire their situation was.
Tang Lu did not respond. Instead, she stared coldly at the surrounding Black-Clad Figures. "Is Fourth Uncle truly intent on wiping us out?"
"Hehe, Miss Tang Lu, you’re a smart woman. You should know that’s a meaningless question."
"Since the patriarch has made his move, of course he’ll eliminate you completely. Do you think we’d leave you alive just to come back in another five or ten years seeking revenge?"
"Don’t resist. We’ll make it quick for you!"
