Ch 276: The Origin of the Heroic Spirit System! The Great Secret of the World’s Origin!

After a moment.

Chu Mo stood expressionlessly, his Incarnation moving his wrists, Overlord of Western Chu standing ramrod straight, his face stern.

“So, what should we do next…” Emperor Wen of Han opened his mouth, gazing at Chu Mo, his eyes also filled with complexity. After all, he also had memories of this person.

“Go back first and gather with Lord and the others!” Chu Mo pondered slightly.

“…But!” Emperor Wen of Han’s pupils constricted. The only ones who could contend with those forbidden existences now were Chu Mo and the Sages he summoned. If Chu Mo left at this moment…those beings would come back to attack.

“Don’t worry!” Chu Mo glanced at Emperor Wen of Han, knowing what he was worried about without asking.

A glistening light emanated from Chu Mo’s eyes, his tone unwavering, “I divined it. They have now left this world.”

“If they enter this world again…then I will arrive at the location they are about to invade at the first possible moment!”

Emperor Wen of Han was stunned for a moment, nodding thoughtfully, belatedly realizing that he had lost his composure earlier—given this person’s status and position, at least within this world beneath their feet, it was almost impossible to bypass him and make small moves.

“Then!” Chu Mo gently grasped his hand, and the River of Time flowed turbulently. One figure after another emerged from it, radiating terrifying divine power.

“What am I doing here again…”

“Wait, what exactly is going on?!”

“Hiss, didn’t I die…”

Among these existences were high-level Heroic Spirit Awakened Ones who had died in the past six hundred years, as well as top experts from history who had interacted with Chu Mo. For example…from the era that Zhao Chu had interfered with, the true Ying Zheng at the peak of Ninth Level who had not yet broken through above Ninth Level, Liu Bang at the peak of Ninth Level, Overlord of Western Chu at the peak of Ninth Level, and other existences…

Originally, Liu Bang was only at the peak of Eighth Level in orthodox history, but after Chu Mo’s excavation, this person embarked on the path of cultivation ahead of time, before the era of world degradation and the fall of the Heavenly Dao, successfully taking that step!

Ultimately, his age was not much younger than Ying Zheng’s; they were from the same generation…and his talent was even considered top-notch. The reason why his strength was so much weaker than Ying Zheng’s later on was simply that his time to rise like a dragon was too late, and he was restricted by the world.

“Everyone…the current situation is!” Chu Mo gently clasped his hands together, injecting a large amount of information into their minds.

The body of the First Dragon Heroic Spirit Awakened One trembled slightly. After sorting out the information, his heart was filled with mixed feelings, “Now it’s actually…actually…”

“Actually arrived in this era…truly, the seas have turned into mulberry fields!” Ying Zheng, who was not a Heroic Spirit, said softly. He gazed at Chu Mo with a complex expression, opening his mouth. Although the information Chu Mo injected into his mind showed that Chu Mo was a Heroic Spirit Awakened One and not the real Zhao Chu, his brother…he inexplicably had a feeling that this person…

But in the end, Ying Zheng did not choose to delve deeper. Regardless of whether Chu Mo was really his brother, since Chu Mo said so, then it was clear that even if he was, he didn’t want to reveal this identity. He naturally wouldn’t violate Chu Mo’s will…

“What do you want me to do?” King Wen of Zhou said solemnly. He was also a deceased Heroic Spirit.

“I want you to maintain the security of the defense line along the Primordial Sea!” Chu Mo patiently explained, then watched them leave.

The next breath.

Nüwa AI waved her hand, projecting a phantom image.

It was none other than the current Lord of the Divine Court—First Dragon!

She gazed at Chu Mo with a complex expression, “You actually…”

“Why did you wait until those people left before appearing?” Chu Mo raised his eyebrows with some interest. The current First Dragon’s father was the Third Generation First Dragon Awakened One…

Perhaps because, in orthodox history, the reason why the Qin Dynasty was overthrown was due to Vast Heaven’s scheming, coupled with the fact that the heir had not been chosen well…therefore, First Dragon condensed an extremely strange Heroic Spirit Skill, which could transfer the Heroic Spirit directly to his descendants at the cost of his own death.

Therefore, the previous generations of First Dragons were all this person’s ancestors.

The era they rose in…was the most chaotic era! Dynasties changed too frequently…In a sense, this person could indeed be considered a family of loyal martyrs.

“…I don’t have that qualification.” After a brief silence, Lord First Dragon lowered her eyes, her fists silently clenched. What pride did she have? What had she done? Steering this country, she could only barely ensure that it didn’t decline.

Compared to those ancestors who sacrificed themselves for the country, she…was just a mediocre lucky person…What face did she have…to face them?

“Actually, what you said…” Chu Mo opened his mouth, but finally sighed. He saw through Lord’s thoughts. In fact, he really wanted to say…First Dragon had already done a very good job!

The Divine Court and Divine Province, of course, had not cleared up all the problems…and even, Liu Bang, who had been corrupted by darkness, and many top Heroic Spirits had infiltrated all aspects of the Divine Court. Without him, perhaps the Divine Court would have exploded directly at some point in the future…

But at least, First Dragon had still managed to barely hold up this framework until the day he rose.

Rising? Not declining was already a victory!

“…When are you coming back?” Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice came from the screen.

“I’ll see you in a while…but! There’s no rush, right? It doesn’t seem like there’s anything to say even if I meet you?” Chu Mo suddenly realized something, his expression somewhat subtle.

“…Huh?!” Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, scratching his head, his expression wonderful, realizing that this seemed to be the case.

“Wait a moment, everyone! I suddenly thought of another question that I need to trace back to find the answer.” Chu Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly. A trace of divine light permeated from his body, wrapping around the bodies of all the Sages.

In the next instant, he and the many Sages disappeared.

After a brief silence, Lord’s image dissipated from the void.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became relaxed.

“…Master is really.” Overlord of Western Chu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then his face became unruly, his temperament completely different from before.

He was only a well-behaved kitten in front of Chu Mo. In front of others, he was still that beast king who dominated the world. He was the Overlord of Jiangdong!

“Continue wor…” Emperor Wen of Han had just uttered three words when his voice stopped. He looked with some astonishment and disbelief as the aura on Overlord of Western Chu’s body explosively increased at this moment.

Ninth Level!

“What the hell?!” Emperor Yongle’s fur stood on end, “No, buddy…”

◈◈◈

How did you do it?

Although Emperor Yongle had also broken through to Ninth Level because of the black qi, that was after he had already broken through before awakening…You’re…ah?!

Emperor Yongle looked dumbfounded as Overlord of Western Chu’s aura rose to the Second Stage of Ninth Level, the Third Stage, the Fourth Stage!

Fifth Stage!

“Hoo!” Exhaling a long breath, Overlord of Western Chu clenched his fists, his face full of regret, “Can it only be like this for now? What a pity…I wonder when my Heroic Spirit will awaken another stage…”

Emperor Wen of Han: “…Huh?!”

He originally thought that he was invincible after cheating, but he didn’t expect someone to be even more valiant than him…

“I’m not convinced…Why you!” Emperor Yongle’s face turned green. If you awaken another stage, wouldn’t you be heading for the peak of Ninth Level?! No, is this fair?

“Heroic Spirit Awakening is like this. If you don’t like it, don’t play!” Overlord of Western Chu smiled with some contempt, but in his heart, he became even more respectful and worshipful towards Chu Mo. He knew very well, according to the awakened memory, that if it weren’t for Chu Mo…he would definitely be like in the original awakened memory, and even with complete awakening, he would only be at the peak of Eighth Level.

Although he didn’t know what the situation was, he didn’t want to think about it if he couldn’t figure it out! He had become stronger, and it was because of Chu Mo that he had become stronger, so knowing these things was enough!

◈◈◈

Heavenly Dao World.

“…Good heavens!” Master of Heaven swept his gaze around, brilliant divine light flashing in his eyes, his words filled with undisguised shock, “Although the area is far inferior to the main world…in terms of level and quality…it’s already comparable!”

“No, no, no, it’s already stronger than the previous main world! It can be compared to the current main world!” Nüwa said softly. She could feel that this world did not suppress her in the slightest…

Although even if this world’s level was low, Chu Mo could still accommodate them if he controlled it, but this kind of forcibly accommodating their existence would also have a huge impact on this world…The current situation could only prove that this world itself was at the Quasi-Sage level and could accommodate the existence of Quasi-Sages!

Chu Mo remained noncommittal. The quality of the Heavenly Dao World would naturally increase according to the growth of his strength.

“Everyone…now is not the time to discuss these things! But…the truth of your deaths! You should be able to tell me, right?”

Chu Mo’s eyes flickered with a faint divine light, scanning over everyone present one by one, “Don’t tell me…you don’t know? What you said before was that you couldn’t reveal it…This means that you all know…”

Chu Mo’s voice was very certain, “Heavenly Dao World, this is my domain! No one else can eavesdrop!”

All the Sages looked at each other, their expressions varying.

After a long silence, Chu Mo was not in a hurry, waiting quietly.

Finally, Master of Heaven took the lead and smiled wryly, “Two elder brothers, we can only say it…Although…but, if there is a possibility of solving it, only this person can do it!”

“But I’m really afraid…that he will also be struck down and become depressed.” Lao Tzu also showed a wry smile. After scanning the other two, he bit his lip, “And even we have encountered this situation…this person…”

The scene fell silent again.

The Nüwa Awakened One hesitated several times, wanting to speak but stopping. Because she died too early, she didn’t know what these people were talking about. This riddle…She felt that, not to mention Chu Mo, she had an urge to beat these people up.

The Primordial Celestial Lord rubbed his cheeks and said calmly, “Let me say it! If it’s destined to be despair, there’s no use in covering it up.”

Taking a deep breath, the Primordial Celestial Lord said, “Heavenly Dao, Your Majesty, we…strictly speaking, can be said to be dead, but we can also be said to be alive!”

“Because, those past Sages…” The Primordial Celestial Lord gritted his teeth, finally squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, “Have revived within our bodies!”

“!!!” Chu Mo’s eyes slowly widened. He had thought of many possibilities before, but this was really…unexpected! He had previously thought that someone had killed them, then stripped away their Heroic Spirit power and forged new Sages…

And this adjective…Are you playing Lord of the Mysteries here? Are you guys going to lose control? Wait…Chu Mo frowned, suddenly remembering the existences he had encountered in his early years, such as Dorgon and Huang Taiji…Could it be that their state was losing control?

Chu Mo’s mind was wide open at this moment.

“Have you ever thought about how Heroic Spirits are born?” Master of Heaven took over the conversation.

A strange light flashed in Chu Mo’s eyes, but he still didn’t speak, choosing to listen quietly.

“According to the memories we obtained,” Lao Tzu also spoke, “Sages, and even all the heavens, as well as many other top Great Divine Power wielders…had all entered the Primordial Void to avoid the problem of the decline of heaven and earth brought about by the ebb.”

The ebb…refers to the degradation of heaven and earth brought about by the fall of the Heavenly Dao? Chu Mo pondered silently.

“But, more than two thousand years ago…a world-shaking change occurred!” The Primordial Celestial Lord seemed to recall, “After the late Qing Dynasty, the world was turned upside down, and the main world was completely degraded into an ordinary world without any extraordinary power…”

“Of course, although the main world has turned into a non-extraordinary world…its essence is still very terrifying. It can only be said that I can destroy a world without any extraordinary power in the void with a wave of my hand…But I, or rather, the Sages at their peak, cannot destroy the main world that has turned into an ordinary world even if we join forces.”

“The most terrifying thing is that after an era after the late Qing Dynasty…it entered a completely new era!” Lao Tzu’s cheeks twitched almost imperceptibly.

“In that era…a wave that is difficult to describe in words spread from the main world to the Primordial Void…Even if they were as powerful as Sages, they could not resist and began the most extreme decline…We suspect that it may be because the Sages and all the heavens originated from the main world. Even if they leave, they are still connected to the main world. Therefore, after the main world completely fell, this influence targeted the existences who had entered the chaos…”

“…” Chu Mo wanted to say something, but stopped. If he remembered correctly, that era was…

But after thinking about it, recalling that he couldn’t see through what happened during that time, the River of Time was chaotic to the extreme, and in the end, he could only sigh.

He asked, “And then…”

“Then, in order to avoid completely losing power and then dying in the Primordial Void…” The Sages and many Great Divine Power wielders came up with an idea…” Lao Tzu didn’t continue, but after saying this, the meaning was already clear.

“Create the Heroic Spirit System, and then…” Chu Mo understood everything. He said with a wry smile, “Wait until the Heroic Spirit Awakened Ones awaken to the extreme…and then directly revive and return from within the bodies of the Awakened Ones who have obtained the Heroic Spirit power?”
