Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 23 First Encounter with Luo Feng

The following morning, the War God Palace issued a notice that Shen Mu had suppressed the King-level monster, the Azure Dragon of the East Sea, in the near sea and tamed it, thus permanently sealing this powerful King-level monster in the Bohai Bay.

The news caused another huge stir, with even some people who had witnessed Shen Mu's battle against the Azure Dragon of the East Sea joining the discussion.

Soon, multiple versions of details about the battle between Shen Mu and the Azure Dragon of the East Sea circulated online. The most exaggerated version was that Shen Mu's body trembled and the Azure Dragon of the East Sea immediately bowed down.

Shen Mu, who was merely a topic of conversation among ordinary people, had already embarked on a journey to comprehend the universe.

This was also Hong's suggestion, to let Shen Mu go and see the world and all living things.

……

Changshan City Martyrs' Cemetery is the final resting place of many heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the Great Rebirth era.

The deepest part of the tombstone is the most prominent one, inscribed with the words "Tomb of Zhao Chen, Hero of Bohai".

"Heroes of Bohai..."

Shen Mu stood before his own tombstone from his previous life, surrounded by various wreaths.

Many people came to sweep the grave and offer flowers to their ancestors from their past lives. It was because of the battle in his past life that Kyoto Base City was spared from severe damage in its early days, indirectly saving hundreds of thousands of people.

Not many people have time to visit the graves, but there are always some every few days.

Shen Mu looked at the tombstones around him, which were the tombstones of his parents, younger sister, grandfather and others from his previous life. In the end, the family was reunited.

Then Shen Mu asked the cemetery management office for a broom and silently swept his own grave.

In her previous life, she was born with memories from before she transmigrated, and at first she thought she had transmigrated to a harmonious and prosperous parallel world.

Although he didn't achieve the exaggerated feat of being able to speak in three days and act in five, he displayed exceptional intelligence at a young age and was hailed as a little genius.

Later, after starting elementary school, he followed the example of his time-traveling predecessors, becoming a plagiarist while learning various kinds of knowledge, thus fulfilling his long-cherished wish of becoming a celebrity, until the spread of the RR virus shattered everything.

During those years of Nirvana, all his relatives and friends died one after another, except for himself who had awakened his spiritual power. They died before his eyes in one life-or-death crisis after another.

He failed to protect anyone.

After sweeping the graves of his family from his previous life, Shen Mu's memories came to an end.

Finally, Shen Mu looked at his own tombstone.

"Things are good now, and they will get even better in the future."

Shen Mu uttered a seemingly random statement, which to outsiders appeared to be a consolation to the sleeping hero of Bohai, telling him that humanity had established a new era and order.

After saying this, Shen Mu turned and left.

……

On the rest of the journey, Shen Mu's steps seemed even lighter.

After seeing the traces left by his past life, Shen Mu felt as if some kind of shackle had been loosened, and then he began to walk on foot.

The sun and moon revolve, and the stars shift and the constellations move.

In just a few months, Shen Mu traversed mountains, plains, canyons, and deserts...

Go and witness those dangerous places where human traces have completely disappeared, and experience the most harmonious way of coexisting with nature and all things.

As December drew to a close, Shen Mu walked to the Jiangnan region.

Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been a place rich in cultural heritage, where countless literati have left behind poems that have been passed down through the ages.

"The warm breeze makes tourists feel intoxicated, and they mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou."

Shen Mu stood before a tranquil lake, the once-famous West Lake, the original site of Hangzhou.

The so-called Hangzhou City in the Jiangnan base city is not the real Hangzhou City. It is just that the satellite city of the base city is named Hangzhou so that people can remember the once prosperous society.

The same applies to Changshan City, where Shen Mu lived; before the Great Nirvana, it was part of the outskirts of Beijing.

Shen Mu stepped onto the lake surface, and a layer of white frost quickly spread under his feet, completely freezing the entire lake surface.

This is the ability Shen Mu awakened after entering the planetary level, allowing him to control ice and snow, just like the Third Speaker, Mohanderson.

As for the Azure Dragon clone's ability, it is water transformation, which allows its body to temporarily turn into a liquid state; it is also a water-attribute ability.

According to some research reports from the War God Palace, once a War God who has comprehended the essence of the art becomes a councilor, the power he awakens will inevitably originate from the same source as his own essence of the art.

As for the War God level who hasn't grasped the essence, that's uncertain.

As a transmigrator, Shen Mu speculated that once one comprehends the essence of the universe, when absorbing cosmic energy, one should absorb more energy corresponding to one's own essence attributes, thus fixing one's own primal force and attributes.

As Shen Mu stepped onto the frozen lake, a chilling atmosphere swept over the area, and sparse snowflakes began to fall from the air.

"Beep, beep!"

Suddenly, Shen Mu's communication watch blared a series of piercing alarm sounds.

"The highest level of assistance regulations state that high-level War God-level martial artists are fighting each other in the base city, and ordinary people are also involved?"

After glancing at today's date, December 26th, Shen Mu made a rough guess.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure disappeared from the spot, stepping on ice spikes and heading straight for Jiangnan Base City. Driven by his mental power, his speed far exceeded that of a first-level planetary-level martial artist.

……

HR Alliance Plaza, Jiangnan Main Urban Area.

From the crowd, a tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman held a remote control in her hand and called out sharply, "Luo Feng!"

"I've planted T111 bombs on a residential alley next to the HR Alliance. If I press that button, tens of thousands of people will die instantly!"

Not far away, a young man dressed in a black god suit controlled 16 throwing knives, but for a moment he was hesitant to throw them at the wrong target.

"War God Luo Feng, Lady Vinina, please remain calm and do not act impulsively!"

A group of security personnel were dispersing the crowd and maintaining order, while the middle-aged man in a Tang suit who was in charge quickly advised the two not to act impulsively.

"Luo Feng." Vinina stared intently at Luo Feng.

"Either release me and my husband, or we'll drag tens of thousands of people down with us. The choice is yours."

Luo Feng's expression grew increasingly cold, and the dozen or so throwing knives around him hummed as if hesitating.

The next instant, an extremely cold air current suddenly swept across the entire HR Plaza.

Almost instantly, a very thin layer of white frost appeared on everyone's body.

"How dare they use the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people as leverage."

Shen Mu's voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire square, and then a figure shrouded in icy blue primal force descended from the sky.

Upon seeing Shen Mu's appearance, the middle-aged man in a Tang suit from the security department breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "General Shen."

This title comes from Shen Mu's position in the Chinese military.

Vinina's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected that Shen Mu would be the first to arrive. After all, he was a powerful figure from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy. This was a big problem.

"Councilor Shen, we had no choice. Luo Feng openly violated the regulations of the War God Palace in the base city..." Vinina explained, forcing herself to speak.

However, before she could finish speaking, Shen Mu interrupted her: "Hand over the bomb remote control."

The indifferent voice seemed to possess a special magic, and instantly Vinina's expression froze, and she loosened her grip on the remote control.

Then the remote control floated up and landed in front of Shen Mu.

It was only then that Vinina came to her senses, but it was too late.

"Venina, you have violated the first prohibition of the War God Palace regulations. As a member of the War God Palace council, I have the right to execute you on the spot."

Shen Mu waved his hand lightly with an expressionless face, and an ice cone condensed in mid-air, then transformed into a stream of ice-blue light, instantly piercing through Vinina's brow.
