Chapter 405 The City of Reincarnation Awakens! The Ashes of the Sun!
"Xiu Ren, are we really going to enter this living city? Wouldn't that be like lambs to the slaughter?"
The rat, who had originally wanted to learn about capital from Zhu Ri, shrank back and said somewhat fearfully after hearing Xiu Ren's words.
The other pets' gazes instantly focused on it, their expressions strange.
This time, I went to collect materials for it, but the person in question chickened out first.
The mouse, sensing the gazes of the other pets, suddenly realized that this concerned its glorious image, so it coughed lightly and explained:
"I'm just worried that you'll be too impulsive and not cautious enough, and that entering now would be too late and make you vulnerable to enemy ambushes."
The other pets rolled their eyes. No one believed the hamster's explanation, after all, they already knew... that the hamster was not only afraid of the dark, but also afraid of all strange things.
For example, the last time we watched a horror movie together, an imaginary little monster scared the mouse so much that it reverted to its amorphous form as the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, with countless souls wailing all around it and thousands of roots spreading through the void.
This left them momentarily confused... about where exactly the horror movie scene was.
Even if the other party crawled out of the TV, it would be at most a small demon of the Morning Star level. Facing a powerful pet beast with combat strength close to that of a giant, it could be crushed with a flick of its wrist.
But the mouse always felt that it was... weak, pitiful, and helpless!
On the contrary, the rat clones were full of heroic spirit. As long as it was for the sake of cultivating people, they would not hesitate to go through fire and water, enter the realm of evil gods, or even act as targets to attract the pursuit of enemies.
Moreover, it excels at exploration and possesses a wide variety of excellent skills, making it a completely different style from the original character.
"It's alright, even if you wanted to go in, you might not be able to."
Lu Yu said calmly, glancing at the empty shoulder on his left, then subtly turned to the right where the mouse was.
This guy's presence has become weaker again!
"What do you mean?" A question mark floated up next to the mouse's head.
Lu Yu didn't speak. He took a step forward, and just as he entered the silvery portal that had been constructed, the massive holy city suddenly trembled violently. Countless exposed wounds began to slowly close up, shattering the portal.
Whoohoo!
The terrifying aftershocks whipped up a hot sun wind that swept over Lu Yu; if he were an ordinary human, he would already be on the table.
It's been overcooked.
But for Lu Yu, whose body was enhanced by the Heavenly Breathing technique, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze. However, if he were to be roasted for a long time, he would be cooked.
Therefore, he transferred most of the solar attribute damage to the ranch, which was then borne by Sun Chaser.
The ranch is a rancher's paradise!
"Has the silver brilliance come to an end?"
Lu Yu remained calm, after all, the previous entry of the myriad races had already verified that the Silver Gate had a limit to its capacity.
Snapped!
So he snapped his fingers and summoned Daybreak, who was still working with Broken Gears on a plan to "improve the happiness index of ranch animals".
"Woof!"
Zhu Ri nodded, looking at the Sun Holy City not far away. The nine halos behind his head overlapped and transformed into a platinum sun pattern, bursting forth with brilliant light and illuminating the Holy City once again.
boom!
However, it was annihilated the moment it got close. The wound on the holy city closed completely and continued to be squeezed, with countless drops of crimson-gold blood seeping out from the wound.
Splash!
They converged like streams, transforming into a waterfall of blood that continuously cascaded into the boundless river of light below, where they were swallowed by endless radiance.
The scene was incredibly bizarre!
At this moment, Tianzhou City was like a wounded wild beast, wary of Lu Yu's approach.
"It's like a real person!"
This scene terrified the mouse, causing its fur to stand on end.
But the little spider patted its head and gently comforted it:
"Eek!"
Don't be afraid, hide behind me!
"Sister Spider, you're so kind!" Mouse said with teary eyes. As a way of repaying her kindness, she decided not to try to usurp the throne today.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, already guessing the reason for the anomaly.
He exploited a bug to allow the Sun Chaser to devour the embryo of the Heavenly Court Beast and successfully evolve it, thus destroying the last hope of the mastermind behind the Sun Relics.
They became the mortal enemies of the ancient civilization.
If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the rules governing relics, this ancient holy city would probably have already crushed itself.
But now, it also rejects its own entry.
In this way, the final stages of the ruins could not be carried out at all, let alone receive the sun's blessings.
The longer it drags on, the greater Lu Yu's disadvantage will be, since there are quite a few intelligent people among the myriad races, and even more lucky ones blessed with good fortune.
If Lu Yu didn't have the Eye of Truth, he wouldn't have been able to suppress these top-tier prodigies!
"roar!"
Egg volunteered to go and greet the holy city that might be his origin.
After all, rounding up, the other party is practically a father to us. Even though it wasn't created by the other party, putting aside the facts, it's still at fault.
In that case,
It's not unreasonable for me to ask for alimony in the past, is it?
Egg flapped its wings and approached, but received no response. Enraged by such an arrogant attitude, it stretched out its dragon claw and dipped it in the flowing "blood of the holy city".
As a result, the dragon claw almost turned into light, but fortunately it was stopped by the power of reincarnation, and it curiously took a bite.
Uh-huh!!
Egg smacked its lips, about to comment on the taste, but the next second, hundreds of dragon eyes on its body opened, entering a state of excitement, and its body was filled with boundless solar spiritual energy.
Even with an insatiable thirst, it couldn't be digested instantly, and I felt a long-lost sense of fullness.
The entire dragon body was illuminated, dispelling the darkness, and even the center of the City of Reincarnation on its back began to shine.
In this radiance, life and death begin to cycle.
According to Egg's feedback, the City of Reincarnation has awakened and is now usable.
Even Lu Yu hadn't expected that the one who would illuminate reincarnation would be...
sun!
And indeed, Egg's insatiable hunger originated from this.
"Eek!"
From the little spider's perspective, you can see that Egg has turned into a giant light bulb dragon.
So cute!
(o ゜ ▽ ゜) o ☆
Inside the Void Treasure Chest, countless spider silk threads are woven together to begin making Egg's limited-edition doll!
"My lord, this holy city is not humble enough. Should I try to open it?" The paper knight holding the Bible of salvation stepped forward and began to offer advice.
In its eyes, even a city should obey its master.
"No need, this matter is easy to resolve. Don't always think about taking action; you also need to learn to use your brain. I'll handle the negotiation."
Lu Yu shook his head and said calmly:
"Useless trash, open the door!"
"???"
The mouse next to it looked up, its expression bewildered.
You call this negotiation?
Are you sure you're not trying to incite hatred?
boom!
The city of Tianzhou hummed incessantly, the flowing blood faster and in greater quantities, seemingly in anger. A powerful pressure swept across the entire ruins, surpassing even the ecological master and reaching a new level.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"
The mouse was so frightened that it covered its head and prepared to run away, but before leaving, it didn't forget to stretch out its little paws and tug at Lu Yu's clothes, preparing to take Xiu Ren with it.
This house would have fallen apart long ago if it didn't have hamsters!
Lu Yu remained calm, ignoring the oppressive aura, and said indifferently, "Having fallen to this point, don't you know how to reflect on your actions?" "What you've been pursuing was wrong from the very beginning. If you truly had confidence, why wait so long?"
As Lu Yu spoke, the waterfall of blood light that had been flowing above the Holy City stopped.
"Open the door and let me in. Maybe I can still preserve a last glimmer of hope for you," Lu Yu continued, patting Zhu Ri's head.
The massive holy city fell silent. After a minute, it slowly began to rotate, revealing a wound that stretched for hundreds of miles. As the wound unfolded, countless buds that had been repairing it broke off and transformed into a sky full of light.
They danced in the air, transforming into a dark golden portal.
It lacks the brilliance of daytime, and is more like the twilight of dusk.
"You're quite sensible." Lu Yu nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
The mouse beside him was startled and whispered through telepathy, "Master, have you already deciphered the secret of Tianzhou City?"
When did the wisdom of a cultivator increase so much?
He was almost catching up with himself, a top strategist.
"No." Lu Yu was taken aback at first, then realized it was about the mouse and replied, "It's just a simple sales tactic. Don't agree to what others need right away, because no one will cherish something that is too easy to get."
Instead of directly criticizing the other person as a loser, you can first belittle them, then ask them questions, and finally talk about your own strengths. This way, you can both elevate your own importance and gain their trust.
Actually, if you change the nouns inside, you can turn it into quotes from fitness coaches about their body image anxieties, which you can also use when choosing to do business.
These drowning people aren't stupid; they're just mostly clinging to a straw to deceive themselves. Take Tianzhou City, for example. It had no other choice, but the existence of Zhu Ri gave it another hope.
The mouse is dumbfounded. Its own beast tamer didn't even spare an entire city, and did something like... a PowerPoint presentation, right?
Most importantly, it succeeded!
However, Lu Yu didn't say one thing: the prerequisite for carrying out this operation is that one must have the qualifications to be valued by others.
Otherwise, no matter how eloquently you speak, it won't make a difference.
not to mention……
Some things live, yet are already dead; some things die, yet still live.
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then stepped into the dark golden portal. The surrounding space inverted, but the location he found himself in caused his pupils to dilate slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"This guy is really honest; he gave me a big surprise."
"However, for the other explorers, it must have been quite a shock..."

At the same time, many powerful figures from the human race successfully passed through the flesh and blood portal of Tianzhou City and entered the interior.
They were on guard against attacks from alien races and monsters who had entered beforehand, but they were stunned by the scene before them and stood there dumbfounded.
"What's wrong?"
The last one to enter was Luo Qingyue. She was in a bad mood because of Lu Yu, but seeing the many figures standing still, she asked curiously, but received no response.
She walked past the crowd, staring at the scene before her, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints:
"What is this?"
The interior of Tianzhou City was not the magnificent holy city one might imagine, nor was it a landscape of ruins, nor was it inhabited by distorted solar life forms; rather…
Countless burning, swirling black ashes.
They combine to form huge, magnificent buildings of various shapes, but most of them are circular with flame-like features, showing clear traces of the sun.
Countless ashes spread out, forming a network of roads that served as the foundation of the city. These roads were filled with ashes that were much larger than humans, forming enormous, multi-legged humanoid figures of ashes that one could wander through.
Some of them rode on beast-like ashes with numerous long legs, strolling through the city...
Different ashe figures could be seen stopping, their ashe heads visibly caved in, turning into empty ashe mouths.
Although they didn't make any sound, you could sense that they were communicating, but they quickly parted ways and went to their respective places.
The entire city is made up of countless ashes, giving people a sense of destruction and prosperity coexisting.
This scene was completely different from the holy city that everyone imagined; it was more like the City of Ashes than the City of Daylight.
"Are they... still alive?" Luo Qingyue murmured, her expression one of shock.
If there are still survivors of ancient civilizations, then what is the purpose of these archaeologists coming here?
You can get the answer simply by asking.
Furthermore, were all the trials they had undergone under the other party's watchful eye? Or were they even manipulated by them?
The mere thought of this possibility sent chills down everyone's spine.
"No, they are already dead!" Dongfang Yuan's voice rang out, the light in his silver pupils dimming as he calmly stated, "They possessed only the form, but lost their hearts!"
Glug glug!
The abyss fish beside it also stood with its fins on its hips, blowing bubbles in agreement.
Even a true king possesses an abyss of the heart, though it is far more vast than that of a mortal. A single thought can give rise to a terrifying abyss beast.
The Dongfang family controls a high-level ancient royal heart abyss, which remains fraught with danger even after countless years.
As for whether the great being has a heart...
Dongfang Yuan was unaware of this, because the existence of that dimension was beyond the comprehension of mortals.
Even without malice, it is impossible to look directly at; one careless glance could trigger a spiritual collapse or distortion.
None of the many ashes before them possessed the Abyss of the Heart, so they could not possibly be great beings.
Without heart, there is no life.
"fine……"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If there are survivors from the ancient civilization, then it's hard to say who the prey will be.
Cui Han gazed at the ashes in Tianzhou City and fell into deep thought.
Luo Zisong looked dejected. The fact that his most valued junior had become so distorted in front of him was a significant blow to him.
It's always the same...
This is how it is during periods of corruption and rebellion... and this is how it is at the Sun Relics...
Time and again I regret it, yet time and again I am powerless to change it. Is the so-called constancy just a beautiful illusion?
Especially that kid, who actually lifted up the bridge for the human race in the end, living up to the school's teachings.
"Screech!" The ever-present crane stretched out its wings and patted its old friend, feeling a pang of sadness itself.
Yu Xiyan remained calm, and Qi Wei also lost the desire to take pictures.
Tong Ye lowered her head and remained silent.
Chi Yue Meng's expression was indifferent, her long silver hair cascading down to her waist, exuding a cool and aloof aura, but her mood was visibly low, and she didn't seem to care about the ruins.
She didn't care how many treasures the ruins contained; she just wanted to stay by that person's side forever.
The others had enjoyed Lu Yu's guidance for too long, and now that it was their turn to explore on their own, they were still a little unaccustomed to it. Thinking of that figure who single-handedly carried the road, they couldn't help but sigh.
The atmosphere visibly became much heavier!
"We need to hurry, the myriad races won't wait for us." Crimson Lotus broke the silence.
It wasn't that she was interested in the ruins; quite the opposite, the sun, being too domineering, wasn't exactly friendly to the demons whose negative energy had gathered.
In fact, there is also a sun in the abyss, a projection of the supreme sun in all realms, which was dragged into the abyss and corrupted, making it even more dangerous and bizarre in some ways.
After all, the sun in the main world doesn't actively hunt for prey.

PS: 4400 words. I'm humbly asking for votes. I feel like my brain is still stiff from staying up all night for the extra chapter. These past few days, the Dragon Lantern Festival has been filled with fireworks, crackling and popping like a battle, which is almost making me dizzy. I'm having some writer's block. But the Dragon Lantern Festival is really beautiful. I'll try to adjust my writing and speed up the new plot. The truth about the Sun Ruins has been buried pretty much.
