From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 569 Fang Han has a problem, a big problem!

Savage Temple
Li Chengqian activated the Azure Mirror with all his might, and its surface shimmered with a clear light, reflecting a trajectory that was invisible to ordinary people...

Countless tiny streams of energy, exuding an aura of chaos and distortion, converged towards the deepest part of the temple ruins, as if drawn by an invisible force.

Guided by the mirror light, the two avoided some naturally formed spatial traps and remnants of ancient restrictions, and finally arrived at a ruin completely buried by huge vines and rocks.

The eerie atmosphere here was incredibly dense; the air was icy cold, the light dim and distorted, and it seemed as if billions of living beings were wailing in despair, while indescribable, enormous beings writhed and whispered in the void. An ordinary cultivator here would likely suffer a mental breakdown and lose their Dao heart in no time.

Li Chengqian activated the Taiyin Refining Technique to calm his mind. His blood and qi were like a furnace, burning away and dispelling all the chaotic thoughts that were invading him. The phantom of the Undying Electric Talisman appeared above Fang Qingxue's head, surrounded by purple lightning. The extremely yang and powerful thunderous force was the nemesis of these yin and evil auras, completely purging the distorted force field that approached.

“It’s right here.” Li Chengqian pointed to the cave entrance covered by vines. The mirror light showed that all the eerie auras originated from here.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Ancient Cold Prison Divine Qi transformed into a stream of icy energy, instantly freezing and shattering the vines and rubble at the cave entrance, revealing a deep, downward-sloping passage.

A more intense, seemingly ancient, evil, chaotic, and noble power, along with a hint of... the aura of the vast starry sky, emanated from the depths of the passage.

As the passage descended, relatively well-preserved murals began to appear on the walls. The murals were bizarre and fantastical, depicting enormous, distorted "deities" with countless tentacles, eyeballs, or indescribable organs, receiving the worship of insignificant humans. The images of these "deities" were filled with a blasphemous sense of irrationality, and prolonged viewing could even induce dizziness and nausea.

Finally, at the end of the passage, a huge underground cave appeared.

In the center of the grotto stands an ancient statue that is hundreds of feet tall!
When Li Chengqian saw the form of the statue clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face!

The statue was not human-shaped; its main body was an indescribable, twisted mass that seemed to be composed of countless writhing shadows. From this mass extended hundreds and thousands of enormous tentacles, covered with a cold metallic sheen or writhing suckers, forming the shape of hands.

In the palm of each hand is a huge, indifferent, ruthless eyeball that reflects the destruction of stars!
A thousand hands and a thousand eyes!

indescribable!

The form of this statue is surprisingly similar to the "Heaven and Earth Dharma Image" with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes that Fang Han later condensed in the original novel "Eternal Life"—it bears a seven or eight-tenths resemblance! However, Fang Han's hands should be normal, while the hands of this statue are made up of countless tentacles.

But the characteristics of the thousand hands and a thousand eyes are almost identical!
But what shocked Li Chengqian even more was not just the appearance.

From this eerie statue exuding a strong divine aura, he could clearly sense a power fluctuation that should never exist in this world dominated by immortal rules.
Vast, distorted, polluted, cold, insane...

"How is this possible?!" Even with Li Chengqian's knowledge, his heart was filled with shock. His Taiyin Refining Technique began to operate wildly, and he grabbed Fang Qingxue's hand, a chilling yet extremely domineering power emanating from her body. "Don't place too much faith in the power of thunder. Concentrate your mind and will." As he spoke, he pulled Fang Qingxue slowly out of the cave, then said, "From now on, don't think about that statue anymore. With your will, erase all memories of it."

Seeing how solemn Li Chengqian was, Fang Qingxue nodded. When she saw that Li Chengqian was about to enter the grotto again, her expression tightened, but in the end she did not stop him.

"Cousin, be careful too!"

Li Chengqian nodded and entered the passage.

Arriving before the statue once more, I raised my head and stared at the stone statue. The Taiyin Refining Technique within my body began to circulate, resisting the contamination emanating from the statue.

"Things are getting interesting!!"

In this immortal world centered on the path of immortality, he sensed such a dense and authentic aura of stars on a statue left behind by an ancient divine race! This was completely beyond his comprehension!

The Protoss and the Stellaris—could these two be related?

Just as he was in shock and trying to sort out his thoughts—

hum!
In the space between his brows, the World Tree sapling, which had already grown lush and verdant, seemed to be subjected to some extreme temptation and stimulation, and suddenly began to tremble violently!
Without Li Chengqian's prompting, countless roots of the World Tree burst forth autonomously and frantically, transforming into streaks of emerald green light, like giant pythons that had been thirsty for ten thousand years, fiercely plunging towards the eerie statue with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes!
"Roar--!!!"

The moment the roots of the World Tree touched the statue, the statue, which had been silent for countless millennia, suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying spiritual roar!

This roar was not a sound, but an impact that directly affected the soul! It was filled with rage, resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of...unbelievable fear!

On the surface of the statue, the originally stone parts instantly came to life, transforming into writhing flesh and tentacles that gleamed with a dark metallic sheen! Thousands upon thousands of cold eyeballs opened simultaneously, reflecting the terrifying scene of the universe's destruction and stars falling! Countless gigantic mouths opened, emitting silent roars and spewing out dark auras that corroded the void and distorted the rules of existence!

A terrifying pressure, far surpassing the Longevity Realm and even reminiscent of the legendary immortals, erupted like a cosmic tide, instantly filling the entire underground cave!
This was not real power, but rather a wisp of undying divine will remaining in the statue's owner, which was triggered in a final counterattack when it sensed a fatal threat!
Li Chengqian was also startled. The owner of this divine thought must have been an unimaginably terrifying being in his previous life!
However, that was only during his lifetime!

Under the Taiyin Refining Technique, the terrifying pressure felt like a gentle breeze to him.

They simply watched quietly as the World Tree began to devour the divine power of the divine elephant.

Although the pollution of the stars is terrifying, it is only a tiny bit of regret. Most importantly, what carries this tiny bit of regret is the image of the gods, the power of the gods, and the World Tree is the absolute nemesis of the gods!
This is a suppression etched into the very fabric of bloodlines and rules!
No matter how the statue struggled and roared, or how terrifying the mental shock and distorting force field it unleashed, those emerald green roots were like red-hot irons piercing into the ice and snow, penetrating deep into its body without any hindrance!
"Zi la...Zi la..."

A sickeningly painful melting sound rang out. The writhing, fleshy tentacles of the statue withered and dimmed rapidly under the draining power of the roots; its cold eyeballs burst one after another, and the roars of its gigantic maw became desperate and powerless. The terrifying pressure dissipated rapidly, like a punctured balloon.

Inside the statue, an ancient and malevolent consciousness seemed to be uttering its final curse: "...The World...Tree...stole...my...fruit...%...￥%...will...return...to...settle..."

The sound was intermittent, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, before finally fading away completely.

After a few breaths, the entire eerie statue, towering over a hundred feet tall, completely lost all its vitality, turning into a pile of truly lifeless, soulless rocks. Meanwhile, on a major branch of the World Tree, an unprecedented, enormous, and strangely glowing fruit of divine power slowly condensed and took shape.

Unlike the single-powered fruits produced by devouring ordinary gods in the past, this fruit has six completely different runes on its surface, all of which contain the aura of the Great Dao's origin!
With a thought, Li Chengqian plucked the supernatural fruit. As soon as the fruit touched Li Chengqian, it quickly transformed into six streams of light, which entered Li Chengqian's brow. Instantly, six vast and profound torrents of information surged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Great Blessing, Great Domination, Great Curse, Great Bloodline, Great Annihilation, Great Severing...

These are the inheritances of the Three Thousand Great Daos mastered by the six divine races. He has already deciphered the Great Annihilation Technique, but the other five have given him great surprises.

The Great Blessing Technique, the Great Curse Technique, and the Great Blood Essence Technique are all extremely powerful Dao techniques ranked very high!
At the same time, through the scattered fragments of memory fed back by the World Tree, and the curse that the statue finally dissipated, Li Chengqian finally understood the identity of the statue.

Among the ancient gods, second only to the Primordial Holy King, the supreme being with boundless power, who once led the divine army to conquer the heavens and destroy countless worlds, was the God Emperor Indra.

This statue is not an ordinary creation of faith, but a "divine embryo" formed by a wisp of the core divine thought and a part of the origin of the Great Dao after the physical body of the God Emperor Indra collapsed in an ancient great battle with the Heavenly Lord of the Celestial Realm. It has been lurking in the barbaric civilization of this world and slowly recovering and condensing with the help of the power of faith!
If Li Chengqian hadn't possessed the World Tree, the nemesis of the gods, and hadn't happened to come to this place, and given countless years of accumulation for this divine embryo, it's possible that it might one day reappear in the world.

What Li Chengqian cared about even more was the intense aura of stars on the statue of Indra!
“The gods…Indra…the aura of the stars…” Li Chengqian’s gaze deepened. “The spirit of the Gate of Immortality, with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, suppressing Immortal Kings, a cannibalistic immortal world…Fang Han has a problem, a very big problem!!”
