Chapter 762: Sadness
"Please explore on your own, host."
"By the way, why aren't you giving me any tasks anymore? The choices aren't triggering either. Have you forgotten what kind of system you are?"
Chen Futu complained in an annoyed tone.
The system lazily replied in its mind, "This system has reached the highest level, why would it need to issue tasks?"
"you……"
Chen Futu was speechless, trying to disassemble it into parts.
Shameless! So, the quests used to be for leveling up, but now that they've reached the highest level in this world with half a drop of Empress Pingxin's blood, they're just giving up.
"Wasn't the host's initial ideal to just sit back and do nothing? Now the system is taking over and not urging the host to do tasks, the host should be happy."
"Oh yes, yes, you're right! Whether you're a complete slacker or not, at least give me a map, okay?"
Chen Futu wanted to mark this world and seize the inheritance of the Martial God.
"It's worth a billion!"
"Change."
Chen Futu bought it with a wave of his hand.
Soon, a topographical map appeared in his mind. The map was very large, and the area he was currently in was called Chaotic Cloud Gorge, which was located at the very edge. The terrain of the other areas was very magical, giving it a feel of exploring a large world.
"System, mark the treasure chests for me too."
"Dog host, do you think this is a video game? Where did this treasure chest come from?"
"I misspoke. I meant the place of opportunity. Such a large inner world should have many opportunities and good fortune. If you mark them out, I can use them to provide an extra layer of protection for the mainland."
"Host, have some shame. Do you want the system to chew your food and feed it to you?"
"Reverse Tian Gang!"
Chen Futu was negotiating with the dog system in his mind, and the group gradually separated.
First to leave was Lü Yuan, then Lu Aotian and Wu Shan, and finally Xu Mingzhu and the two Tianmen disciples also left, leaving only Chen Futu and Ling Xue.
Ling Xue said, "Brother Chen, why don't we split up too?"
"No need, just follow me, and all the opportunities will be yours."
Chen Futu didn't care about the lives of others, but as their master, he naturally had to care about his precious disciple. She had offended the Black Wolf Legion, and it would be extremely dangerous for her to encounter them if she went out alone.
With no outsiders present, Chen Futu forcibly released the will of the Supreme Emperor to scan this Chaotic Cloud Ravine. Sure enough, he sensed some traces of opportunity, so he took Ling Xue and rushed towards the northeast.
About fifteen minutes later, the two stood in front of a large, unremarkable rock.
Ling Xue asked blankly, "What's here?"
"Enlightenment Stone".
Chen Futu pointed to the weathered rock. Upon hearing this, Ling Xue immediately tried to sit cross-legged on it. After sensing it for a moment, she exclaimed with delight, "It really is an Enlightenment Stone! There is an imprint of the Thunder Roc Emperor's Law inside. Brother Chen, please come and sense it too!"
"This imprint should be unique. You can figure it out yourself; you don't need to worry about me."
Chen Futu has no shortage of martial arts techniques and secret methods of killing, while Ling Xue's foundation is insufficient. If she obtains this scroll of imperial law, she will have more to rely on in the future.
"I'll try to understand it as quickly as possible."
After Ling Xue finished speaking, she entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Chen Futu stood on a high rock and continued to scan the space in front of him. He wondered if he was hallucinating, but he always felt that someone was watching him. The feeling of being watched was very real and uncomfortable, but he could not find the source of it.
"Is the God of War still alive...?"
Chen Futu sat cross-legged atop a stone several hundred feet high, extending the will of the Supreme Emperor to more distant regions.
This sudden shift in thought caused Chen Futu to feel a wave of sorrow eroding his mental world, with faint, ethereal murmurs echoing, "They're all dead, they're all dead, so why am I still alive?"
"What a bizarre underworld."
Chen Futu sensed the desolate fluctuations, and a layer of white sweat broke out on his back.
The speaker was most likely the God of War of this place, or his divine consciousness. He seemed to have been stimulated by something, and sensed a trace of madness from the invading aura.
"To live a life of petty scheming, or to die like a moth drawn to a flame—which would you choose?"
The sound was like a demonic chant, piercing Chen Futu's mind and world.
After the system sensed this, it spoke up: "Host, there's a very dangerous anecdote. Will you accept it?"
How dangerous?
"Ten deaths with no chance of survival."
"Are you kidding me? You want me to take on a story that's guaranteed to kill you? You might as well go to heaven!"
The system can just sit idly by if it wants to, and suddenly it sends out an extremely difficult anecdote. Is it trying to kill the host and get someone else to bind to?
"Host, this is a tale of a martial god. If you complete it, the system will reward you with a reward of your choice from the shop."
"You can't sleep if I don't die, can you? I'm not answering!"
Chen Futu is not stupid. Some things can only be obtained if you are alive. He is currently only at the level of an Extreme Emperor, not a Martial God. If he were a Martial God, he would take the initiative to ask for the Anecdotal Mission without the system reminding him.
"Host, you can consider it. Call the system anytime once you've made up your mind."
After saying that, the system lazily continued to lie dormant in my mind.
Chen Futu opened his eyes and looked into the depths of the inner world. Based on his judgment, the voice he had just heard came from there.
This feeling is dangerous; if the emperor recklessly goes down there, he might die.
For the next three days, Chen Futu remained on the high rock, adapting to the mysterious whispers. If he could gradually control the impact on the other's soul, the success rate of the anecdote would increase.
Fortunately, Chen Futu's mind had been cleansed in the Moon Goddess Palace, so even though it was repeatedly attacked, he only felt a little uncomfortable and did not suffer any substantial impact.
Boom!
Suddenly, Ling Xue opened her eyes. She raised her hand, and in her palm was a phantom of a thunder roc formed from wind and thunder. She had completed the inheritance of the Emperor's Law and obtained the Thunder Roc Emperor Technique.
Chen Futu flashed in front of her, carefully sensed it, and said, "Not bad martial arts technique. This method is no less than your Great Grade Azure Lotus Song."
After saying this, a strange look flashed in Ling Xue's eyes. "Thank you for protecting me, Brother Chen. Where to next?"
"Let's take one step at a time."
Chen Futu hadn't thought it through either. Rushing into the core area of the inner world was definitely not an option. He needed to find the traces left by the God of War and learn everything about him before he could be confident of entering the core area.
A day later, Chen Futu and Ling Xue left Luanyun Gorge. On their way, they saw a quasi-emperor battle breaking out in the distance. It was a quasi-emperor from the Ancient Path and the Blood Fiend Sect fighting over an imperial weapon. The imperial weapon was shaped like a pearl and emitted a seven-colored light. Moreover, it seemed to be deliberately provoking the conflict. As it moved around, more and more quasi-emperors joined the battle, eventually turning it into a chaotic melee.
"Interesting. The Great Emperors haven't joined the fray; instead, the Quasi-Emperors have started fighting first."
Chen Futu sensed the aura of a Martial God within that strange, circular imperial weapon. The aura was very weak; if his will had not been cleansed and he had not been exposed to the fluctuations of the divine path, Chen Futu would not have been able to detect the divinity attached to it.
