The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 240 Gods as One, Immortal and Reborn

The Boundless Palace has a hidden world inside.

Sun and moon, mountains and rivers, flowing water and sea of ​​flowers.

The rich spiritual energy swirls into a white mist, and stepping into it feels like entering a fairyland.

A stone house stands not far away.

This place is where top-secret documents are stored.

The Chunyang Sect's top-secret archives, which Lingxuzi called the Heavenly Book Treasury, are filled with incomprehensible text.

Liang Yue walked up to the Heavenly Book Treasury and easily unlocked the treasury's restrictions.

Pushing open the door, the interior was empty except for a solitary bookshelf filled with messy drafts. Judging from the spotless bookshelf, this place was protected from dust year-round.

Liang Yue casually picked up a yellowed, thread-bound book. The texture was somewhat soft, suggesting that it was frequently read.

As Liang Yue turned to the first page, he raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"So this is the Heavenly Book."

This thing is actually Chinese Pinyin, which is a Latin script created during the Ming Dynasty. Its purpose was to enable foreigners to be influenced by the king's culture. Because it was surprisingly effective in eradicating illiteracy, it has been used to this day.

The pinyin above is a jumbled mess of characters; you need to decipher the pattern to understand the information.

This posed no challenge for Liang Yue. His Yang Shen's mental processing speed had already reached an incredible level, and he deciphered the pattern in an instant.

"Respectfully addressed by our Ancestor, this message is from Liang Changming, our descendant. We awoke in the 201st year of the spiritual energy revival... Changyun, Mr. Yuan Tiangang, and I are all safe and sound. Please rest assured, Ancestor. We will now record our work..."

“Cultivation and technology are not in conflict. We will create tools to increase research efficiency based on the current environment…”

"...Things are not going well. Gods and demons have resurrected in large numbers, taking the people hostage. It seems we are being targeted, and there is a traitor within the dynasty..."

"It seems that the ancient human race's powerful figures sealed off a large number of the strongholds of innate gods and demons, causing even stronger gods and demons to remain dormant. However, even these few remaining are enough to keep us occupied..."

"Master Lü, Master Sanfeng, and Master Chunfeng have gone to other continents to explore the secrets of the Five Emperors of the Human Race."

"Let us wander, for from now on we will have nowhere to live..."

The recording ends here.

Liang Yue closed the last draft, and a flame rose out of thin air and burned it to ashes.

"It's the same as saying nothing at all," Liang Yue said with a wry smile.

To his surprise, the techniques for weapon forging were actually the work of Liang Changming and others, which explained the unusual feeling he had.

It's like someone treating magical artifacts as sophisticated instruments, with the artifact's embryo being the motherboard, the restrictions being the circuitry, and the various spells being equivalent to functional modules.

"Wait a minute."

Liang Yue emerged from seclusion too late and is not suited to make his appearance. He should search slowly. The spiritual energy has been reviving for nearly a thousand years, and those who were destined to die have already died. There is no need for him to save them.

Liang Yue returned to the back garden and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

With each breath, spiritual energy gathers within a radius of several miles.

This time, the spiritual energy did not need to go through the innate spiritual silkworm; it directly entered the meridians to circulate throughout the body, nourishing the soul and strengthening the true energy.

The divine soul then coalesced into a thought.

Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the power of the Yang God; the more thoughts one has, the stronger one's combat power becomes.

Therefore, accumulating thoughts is also a part of spiritual practice.

As for the celestial gods above the Yang God, Liang Yue had no clue for the time being. He only knew that the state of the celestial gods should be that the soul and the body are united, forming a state of "chaos as one, form and spirit indistinguishable", and thus reaching the level of "immortality and rebirth".

There was absolutely no clue as to how to proceed with this step.

At this stage, one relies on personal insights rather than any divine skills or secret techniques.

In any case, the truth lies in continuous progress.

After a long while, the exercise was completed.

Liang Yue suddenly thought of something.

"I almost forgot to revive Xiaotian and Xuanwu." One is the legendary monster that brought drought in ancient times, and the other is Xuanwu.

Before the spiritual energy revival, the two spirit beasts were at the "demon beast" level, and the next level up would be the "spirit beast" at the Great Demon level.

A spirit beast is equivalent to a ninth-stage Golden Core cultivator, which is enough to accomplish many things in this era.

With this in mind, Liang Yue started refining pills, preparing the materials to awaken the two beasts.

Both beasts were in their first slumber, so reviving them was not difficult.

……

The vast emptiness is boundless chaos.

The stars are silent, the stars have died out.

This is a desolate star field, three light-years away from the other side of the world.

One of the desolate planets.

Beneath the dark clouds lies a small sun, which moves in sync with the sundial below.

A massive mechanical city stands on the plain, with mountain-sized stone giants carrying all kinds of supplies.

A young man, who looked like a scholar, stood on it.

This is Liang Changming, who has regained his youth and integrated into this era.

The middle-aged man standing next to him was Yuan Tiangang.

“Changming, what you’re saying is impossible for a computer to do. How about we follow my suggestion and make it in the form of a compass? That will achieve the function you want,” Yuan Tiangang said.

When I first met Liang Changming, I found him to be incredibly outstanding. Later, when I thought about how he had also learned from me, I felt much better.

"Let's build it according to the compass principle. Times have changed, we can't force it."

Liang Changming said.

The appearance of the other side star is inherently illogical, and the laws of physics must be different.

The two were exchanging terms that others couldn't understand.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew through the universe.

From the void, which stretched for an unknown distance, a pitch-black sun appeared.

The two fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Liang Changming spoke up: "Lu Zu has fallen into a black hole. I wonder if he will ever return."

Those who awoke back then are now scattered across the land, and all have vanished without a trace.

The group originally followed Lü Dongbin to explore Buzhou Mountain, and after a battle, they also perished here.

Yuan Tiangang suddenly said:
"How about we add a little variable to this world?"

What variables?

“Summoning some people from our ancestral planet Earth. I remember the restrictions above the Innate Star. Recreating the restrictions might allow me to summon some people from there.”

After thinking for a long time, Liang Changming said, "We can give it a try. But we can't show ourselves. There are good and bad people on Earth. We should observe them secretly and select suitable talents."

The people of this world are not enlightened. When they gain great power, they often go mad and embark on the path of tyranny, showing no regard for the sect that nurtured them.

The reason why Liang Changming and the other resurrected people left was partly due to the resurgence of gods and demons, but also because of problems within the human race.

The ignorance and stubbornness of mortals in this world are astounding. Some even think of monopolizing the cultivation techniques developed by others and then attacking their own people.

“Ignorance, lack of knowledge, greed, and their cultivation of immortality is like that of the underworld.” Liang Changming sneered. “It’s time to find some helpers.”

They didn't have time to start from scratch, so they had to pick up what was already there from the earth.

Earthlings are at least somewhat educated, adapted to laboratory research systems, and understand the concept of cooperation and win-win outcomes.

Soon, the mechanical beings began moving the array materials and constructing the array that connected the pyramid.
