203: Chapter 203 Nanzhu

The disk carried Lin Sheng through the Chaos; although there was no concept of time within the Chaos, Lin Sheng himself possessed it.

After Lin Sheng felt about a day of his own time pass, a Great World so massive that its boundaries could not be sensed appeared before him.

The moment he saw the Great World, Lin Sheng was completely stunned.

"Fellow Daoist has come from afar; why not come to my place for a chat?"

Just as Lin Sheng was dazed, an ethereal voice rang in his ear.

Lin Sheng stared blankly at the crimson great snake coiled atop the Great World, its body stretching beyond the horizon; the shock in his heart had reached its peak.

The snake's size surpassed Lin Sheng's cognition, for its entire body was coiled around the world; however, while Lin Sheng could not see the full extent of the Great World, he could see the full form of the snake.

When the snake invited him, Lin Sheng did not hesitate for long and directly entered the passage it had opened for him.

This was not because Lin Sheng felt his strength was sufficient to be fearless of any danger.

On the contrary, when facing the snake, an inexplicable sense of powerlessness instantly enveloped his entire body.

Lin Sheng knew that if the snake harbored ill will, he wouldn't even have a chance to run.

At this moment, Lin Sheng was certain that Nan Feng's Great World contained a true Daluo, and the crimson great snake before him was definitely a Daluo.

With a slightly apprehensive heart, Lin Sheng entered the Great World.

After stepping through the boundary wall, he appeared on the summit of a mountain.

Opposite Lin Sheng appeared an entity with a human face and a snake's body; it had a face similar to a human's, but its head was connected to a long snake tail.

Looking at this god with a human head and a snake body, Lin Sheng focused his observation on its vertical pupils and crimson snake tail.

This must be the crimson great snake that was coiled around the boundary wall in the Chaos.

Furthermore, Lin Sheng already had a certain guess regarding its identity.

While Lin Sheng was observing the other party, the other party was also observing him.

Upon seeing the faint colorful light emerging within Lin Sheng's body, its eyes narrowed slightly; as they did, Lin Sheng noticed the entire Great World plunged into twilight in an instant.

"Fellow Daoist may call me 'Nan Zhu'; of course, 'Zhu Jiuyin' or 'Zhu Long' are also acceptable."

Just as the world fell into twilight, Nan Zhu spoke.

As he spoke, his narrowed eyes opened again, and the entire world returned to light at that moment.

"Whew."

Lin Sheng let out a soft breath.

He was certain that Nan Zhu was absolutely a Daluo.

His aura was simply too powerful; before Nan Zhu spoke, Lin Sheng felt like an elementary school student facing a teacher.

However, as Nan Zhu spoke, that pressure vanished.

Looking at this Creator God-level entity from mythology, Lin Sheng quickly spoke:

"Senior Nan Zhu, in my current state, I cannot bear to be called 'Fellow Daoist' by you."

Only by experiencing it personally did Lin Sheng realize the gap between himself and a true Daluo; thus, when Nan Zhu addressed him as Fellow Daoist, he felt deeply flattered.

Nan Zhu smiled at Lin Sheng's reaction.

He looked at Lin Sheng, but his gaze seemed to pierce through his body to see his most fundamental essence.

"Fellow Daoist need not belittle yourself."

"As a member of a Great God Level Civilization, you are naturally qualified to be addressed as a Fellow Daoist by me."

Hearing Nan Zhu's words, Lin Sheng fell into deep thought.

Great God Level Civilization? Could he be referring to the 'Supervisor' mentioned by the system?

But Lin Sheng didn't even know he was a member of the Supervisors; how did Nan Zhu know?

Did he automatically become a member of the civilization after obtaining the system?

Lin Sheng pondered.

At that moment, the system's notification suddenly rang in his ear.

[Correct.]

[After the Host obtained this system, you became a member of the Supervisors by default.]

[Of course, the Host can also choose not to acknowledge your status as a member; the civilization will not care.]

Hearing the system's notification, Lin Sheng nodded silently in his heart.

Regarding his status as a member of the Supervisors, Lin Sheng maintained an attitude of absolute acknowledgment.

With such a powerful civilization as a backer, only a fool wouldn't acknowledge it.

"Hehe, it seems Fellow Daoist has understood. Then there is no need for me to explain further."

Seeing the thoughtful look on Lin Sheng's face, Nan Zhu understood that he had likely realized his identity.

"Yes, thank you, Fellow Daoist Nan Zhu, for clearing my doubts."

Lin Sheng nodded to Nan Zhu, responding to his words by addressing him as Fellow Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist's visit to my Shanhai Realm this time surely isn't just a simple passing through, is it?"

Hearing Nan Zhu's question, Lin Sheng did not answer immediately but instead asked curiously:

"Fellow Daoist's Shanhai Realm? Does this world belong to you? I recall there are other Great Gods in this world, right?"

Seeing that Lin Sheng did not answer his question, Nan Zhu was not angry; he said calmly:

"It seems Fellow Daoist does not understand this realm. True, aside from myself and a few other entities, the living beings of the Shanhai Realm indeed do not understand its origins."

"Then let me explain it to Fellow Daoist."

As he spoke, Nan Zhu conjured a table and several tea sets, gesturing for Lin Sheng to sit.

Lin Sheng's consciousness left his body and condensed into a human form, sitting opposite Nan Zhu.

The two sat facing each other, and Nan Zhu continued:

"This realm is called the Shanhai Realm; it is a world I created, and I am the Creator God of this realm."

"As for the other Great Gods Fellow Daoist mentioned, you must be referring to Empress Wa and Di Jun."

At this, Nan Zhu looked at Lin Sheng and explained with a smile:

"They are merely projections. At the beginning of the world's creation, due to my neglect, the realm fell into a state of rampant disorder. Therefore, I invited the two of them to help me establish Order in this world."

"Projections? So Empress Wa and the Celestial Emperor are also Daluo?"

Lin Sheng didn't care about the establishment of Order; he was more concerned with the cultivation realms of Empress Wa and Di Jun.

As Lin Sheng expected, Nan Zhu nodded, confirming his guess.

"Those two are indeed Daluo, but in this realm, they are only projections; thus, to outsiders, they appear only as Great Gods."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. I understand."

After listening, Lin Sheng nodded and then began to answer the question Nan Zhu had asked him initially.

"To be honest, I came here for two reasons: first, to visit a friend, and second, to find a cultivation method to reach the Daluo Golden Immortal realm."

"Of course, if possible, I also want to see if I can hunt a Daluo Golden Immortal."
