“System, since the Sunset Tomb was the eighth ancestral land of the Tushan Family, where is it?”
[330,000 miles west of the Thunder Swamp, on the other side of River Lethe.]
River Lethe?
Hearing this name, Lin Wudao frowned.
He had read the introduction of River Lethe in the Qingshan Divine Code. Legend had it that River Lethe was the place where the many living beings in Thunder Swamp belonged after death. Within it were many vengeful spirits and great terror.
It could be said that River Lethe was a forbidden area of the Thunder Swamp.
“In that case, if I want to reach the Sunset Tomb, I have to cross River Lethe?” Lin Wudao muttered to himself.
It seemed it would not be so easy to collect the corpses this time.
“The Sunset Tomb is already open?”
[Yes. The Sunset Tomb was opened by the Tushan Family eighty thousand years ago. It was with the great power of the eighth ancestral land that the Tushan Family was able to prosper once more.]
[After that, the Sunset Tomb was opened a few more times in a row, and the treasures inside were almost emptied.]
[Back then, because of the struggle for control of the Sunset Tomb, several battles broke out. Countless corpses of living beings were produced, but most of them have been corroded by dark substance.]
The system explained.
Dark substance again?
Lin Wudao’s expression darkened slightly.
Dark substances seemed to have eroded the entire Mountain Mausoleum Area. Furthermore, all signs indicated that this was done intentionally by someone.
He did not know what the mastermind’s motive was, but as long as the other party did not plot against him, it had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao’s gaze fell on the corpse map.
“System, unlock the corpse hiding places of Tushan Feng and Feng Qingtian.” [Ding!]
[Congratulations, host. You have consumed 100 million Fate Energy value and successfully unlocked the corpse hiding places of Tushan Feng and Feng Qingtian. For more information, please check the corpse map.]
A familiar voice resounded in his mind.
Whoosh!
A green light flashed across the map, and the locations of Tushan Feng and Feng Qingtian’s graves were shown on the corpse map.
As long as he went to the Sunset Tomb, he would be able to find their burial place according to the directions on the corpse map.
“After settling the matters at hand, I will head to the Sunset Tomb to collect the corpses,” Lin Wudao planned in his heart.
Following this, he picked up the Book of All Beings. It needed to be updated too.
[System, how much Fate Energy value is needed to listen to the needs and wishes of all living beings in the Mountain Mausoleum Area?]
[Thunder Swamp, 50 million.]
[Eastern region, one billion.]
[Southern region, one billion.]
[Western Region, one billion.]
[Northern region, one billion.]
[Central region, three billion.]
A series of prices appeared in the form of words.
After reading them, Lin Wudao sighed.
Now, the Fate Energy value he consumed was easily in the hundreds of millions.
“Unlock the living beings in the Thunder Swamp first.”
[Congratulations, host. You have consumed 50 million Fate Energy value and successfully unlocked the Thunder Swamp. You can listen to the needs and wishes of all living beings in the Thunder Swamp region through the Book of All Beings.]
[Ding, do you wish to consume a certain amount of Fate Energy value to announce your ident.i.ty as the heavens’ emissary and your great achievements to all living beings in Thunder Swamp? Do you wish to let them know your existence?]
Hmm? There was such a service?
Lin Wudao was slightly stunned when he heard the system notification.
This was too human-friendly.
“How much Fate Energy value would it take to announce my existence to all living beings in Thunder Swamp?”
[Not much, 30 million.]
“Alright, announce it.”
Although he didn’t have much Fate Energy value left, only 60 million, Lin Wudao felt that it was necessary to use 30 million Fate Energy value to advertise.
After all, the living beings here did not know about the existence and deeds of Dongfang Bubal. If he wanted to let them know about him, he could only rely on the power of the system.
Whoosh!
As soon as Lin Wudao finished speaking, the Fate Energy value on his account was instantly deducted by 30 million.
Boom!
At the same time, a majestic voice suddenly sounded from the sky and instantly spread throughout the Thunder Swamp.
[I am the heavens’ emissary, Dongfang Bubal.]
[From today onwards, I will serve all living beings in Thunder Swamp. If you have any needs or wishes, you can recite my name. When the time comes, your wishes will be fulfilled after you pay a certain price.]
[Whatever you ask for will definitely be granted.]
[My existence is verified by the laws of heaven and earth in the Mountain Mausoleum Area. I have once helped many living beings overcome danger and satisfy their needs and wishes.]
[My strength is guaranteed and I am trustworthy.]
“The system is awesome!”
Hearing this, Lin Wudao couldn’t help but praise.
The advertis.e.m.e.nt was truly high-end.
This was especially so since the majestic voice carried a strange magic power that made people choose to believe the words after hearing them, and the information would be branded on their souls.
It was equivalent to altering the memories of all living beings, making them unconditionally choose to believe in the existence of the heavens’ emissary, Dongfang Bubai.
“The 30 million Fate Energy value was well spent.”
Through the system’s actions, Lin Wudao believed that someone would come to him for help very soon.
“Heavens’ emissary, Dongfang Bubai? When did such a person appear in Thunder Swamp?”
“Whatever one asks for will definitely be granted? What bragging words.”
“This person is actually verified by the laws of heaven and earth of Mountain Mausoleum Area? He’s definitely an indescribably great existence.”
“I wonder how we can contact Dongfang Bubai.”
Within the Thunder Swamp, many living beings discussed Dongfang Bubai animatedly.
At this moment, they were all guessing who he was.
Lin Wudao, who was in the temple, had a calm and indifferent expression on his face. His eyes were quietly staring at the Book of All Beings in front of him, waiting for someone to ask him for help.
Buzz!
After waiting for about an hour, the originally silent Book of All Beings suddenly bloomed with a dazzling divine light.
Immediately after, a request slowly appeared.
[Feng Changqing, the grave keeper of the Tianfeng tribe, requests that you help him solve the crux of his inability to cultivate so that he can embark on the path of cultivation and change his tragic life and fate.]
Tianfeng tribe? Grave keeper?
Seeing this message, Lin Wudao immediately perked up.
This was a fat sheep!
Since the other party was a grave keeper, he must be around graves all year round. According to Lin Wudao’s guess, Feng Changqing must be guarding the ancestral shrine of the Tianfeng tribe.
Wouldn’t he be able to obtain a large number of corpses then?
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao immediately accepted Feng Changqing’s invitation.
Whoosh!
As a beam of divine light struck the void, a screen of light appeared out of thin air.
Then, a thin young man in ragged clothes entered Lin Wudao’s sight. Behind him was a mysterious river that was emitting a strange black aura.
“River Lethe?”
Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes when he saw the river.
“Isn’t Feng Changqing the grave keeper of the Tianfeng tribe? Why would he appear by River Lethe? From the looks of it, he seems to be moving corpses. Could it be that there are corpses of powerhouses in River Lethe?”
Lin Wudao’s eyes lit up.
Through the light screen in the void, he saw several wet corpses at Feng Changqing’s feet. They were obviously just fished out of the river.
This scene caused Lin Wudao to have some thoughts..
