494: Chapter 494 The War Is Over

“Lord Canglan!”

Zheng Dafu sat up abruptly and shouted loudly, his voice filled with fear and resentment.

But the scenery before him caused his expression to shift.

“An unfamiliar ceiling.”

Zheng Dafu slowly raised his hands, confirming he wasn't injured, then looked around.

He was currently lying on a very soft bed, with warm sunlight shining on him through a window.

The architectural style of this room and some strange objects made him unsure of exactly where he was.

With a creak, a door in the distance slowly pushed open, and an ordinary-looking young man walked in.

The young man spoke to Zheng Dafu with a heavy accent.

“Welcome back to this new world.”

“New world?” Zheng Dafu’s eyes widened as he muttered those words.

Seeing that the other party's emotions were stable, Qian Santong continued to try and communicate using the ancient language he had recently learned.

“That’s right. For certain reasons, you died, but our God took action to bring you back. You have been given a new life.”

“It’s just that tens or even hundreds of thousands of years have passed since the time of your world.”

“So, welcome to the new world, and welcome to the future.”

Qian Santong repeated himself once more, but Zheng Dafu’s expression suddenly turned cold.

Immediately, he vanished from the bed.

This scene stunned Qian Santong, who had originally thought everything was under control.

“What’s going on? Where is he?”

Just moments ago, he had received instructions from Zhou Yan to go to a newly established location to pick up a new colleague.

Supposedly, it was an ancient person currently undergoing resurrection.

To be honest, after seeing the main city and the Underworld, Qian Santong was no longer surprised by anything Zhou Yan could produce.

His current mindset was gradually being assimilated by everyone else, believing that Zhou Yan was the Reincarnation of a Heavenly Venerable and that anything was possible.

However, after seeing the Resurrection Pool that could bring people back to life, he was still shocked for a long time.

At the same time, he knew that once this new colleague was successfully resurrected, the value of this pool would skyrocket to an unimaginable degree.

Therefore, he had been looking forward to Zheng Dafu's resurrection.

Originally, when he learned from Zhou Yan that the other party had been at the Old Method Mid Void Refinement Stage when alive, he felt a bit apprehensive.

Even though he knew the person's strength would be greatly reduced after resurrection and would require resources to recover, he still felt worried.

After all, he had never seen such a high Old Method cultivation level. But when he saw the actual person, he relaxed quite a bit because, in his perception, this guy currently had at most a Core Formation level cultivation and posed no threat at all.

Under the influence of this massive disparity, he let his guard down. The result was that Zheng Dafu used a Divine Ability to succeed in escaping from there.

Realizing that the other party had used a Divine Ability and surely couldn't have run far since he had just recovered, Qian Santong hurriedly gave orders for everyone to mobilize all surveillance and give chase immediately.

Meanwhile, Zheng Dafu was staring blankly at the scenery before him, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.

After waking up, he quickly discovered that his power seemed to be restricted, and he couldn't exert much at all.

And that Human Race member who had just appeared before him clearly had a cultivation that wasn't low—at least, not something the current him could oppose.

So he decisively used his Life Divine Ability to escape that place.

He just didn't expect that the moment the door of his Divine Ability opened, he was nearly sent flying by a flying iron box crashing toward him.

By the time he finally managed to land, he saw the full view of this city.

Massive buildings, all sorts of novel things, and a huge crowd of fellows whose cultivation looked strange no matter how he viewed it.

“What kind of place is this exactly?”

Zheng Dafu swallowed hard, a few drops of cold sweat trickling down.

When the Mortals in front of him saw him suddenly appear, not only were they not afraid, they were even discussing him using strange words.

Not only that, he could even see many Mortals and Yao Race members communicating in broad daylight, their relationships appearing quite close.

Soon, several hovercars rapidly descended, cordoning off a vacuum zone in the crowd and surrounding Zheng Dafu.

A somewhat lazy-looking man tidied his messy hair and stepped out of a hovercar.

“Zheng... Dafu?”

“In the language of your era, that's how it's pronounced, right?”

“Where on earth is this!” Zheng Dafu’s voice was already somewhat hoarse; he didn't know what emotion he should be feeling.

He had clearly died at the hands of Lord Canglan before and should have suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, yet here he was, standing in the flesh in this place overflowing with bizarreness.

The man calmly pulled a pack of spirit cigarettes from his pocket, but just as he was about to light one, he was stopped by a soldier beside him.

“Officer Gediao, I’m sorry, but please do not smoke at will within the city area. The elderly and children won't like it.”

Gediao looked at the crowd that had been cleared away and really wanted to say that there were no elderly or children here, but he still obediently put the cigarette back.

“Well, my name is Gediao, the Vice Commander of the Taiyi Knights.”

“Our Mr. Qian Santong, the one who contacted you earlier, might have given you a bit of a bad experience. I hope you won't get too agitated.”

“I am asking you, where exactly is this place, and who are you people!”

Zheng Dafu had actually tried to use his Divine Ability twice, but had received no response.

He was prepared; if the situation wasn't right, he would definitely fight to the death once more.

Gediao simply shrugged at this.

“A barrier has been set up in Taiyi City. You were able to teleport out earlier only because that area was the research institute zone, which requires many energy reactions, making it inconvenient to set up a barrier.”

“But within the city area, your Divine Ability won't work. Also, there's something I hope you can accept.”

“You already died. The current you has returned from the dead.”

“And during the period you were dead, countless years have passed. So what you see now is the new century.”

“Zheng Dafu, the war is over.”

Inside the storage warehouse.

“Hi-hai-hai, I, Heavenly Venerable Zhou, am back!”

Zhou Yan stood up abruptly, the golden solution on his body sliding down his frame.

Fortunately, once the Power Of Faith liquefied, it didn't stick to the body; otherwise, Zhou Yan, who was using a female body, might have been censored by a mysterious power.

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s condition was incredibly good.

The effect of this Power Of Faith far exceeded his imagination. It not only healed his dao wound but also provided a massive amount of information, allowing Zhou Yan to further improve his Law of the Heart.

So Zhou Yan took the opportunity to use the Law of the Heart to connect to the Sea of Laws. Gratifyingly, even in this era, no one had yet bound the Law of the Heart, so binding it was very easy.

As long as the connection was thrown into the Sea of Laws, the Law of Humanity would soon pull it in and incorporate it.

Also because of the feedback brought by the Humanity region, Zhou Yan’s Law of the Heart successfully reached Level 4.

Zhou Yan’s status refreshed accordingly, and his cultivation reached the Late Soul Transformation stage.

This meant that as long as the Law of the Heart progressed one step further, Zhou Yan could begin to unite with the Dao and prepare for the Body Integration Stage.

“Wait, it seems my Law of the Heart is bound to the Old Method. So is my next step Body Integration or Void Refining?”

“Wait, it seems my Law of the Heart is bound to the Old Method. So is my next step Body Integration or Void Refining?”

Zhou Yan was suddenly startled. Two voices appeared one after another, but he was certain the second one wasn't an echo, but another voice he was incredibly familiar with.

“Lord Canglan!”

Simultaneously with Zhou Yan’s voice, a gender-neutral voice rang out.

“Lord Canglan!”

This time, Zhou Yan had already identified its location. He reached his hand directly toward the back of his neck, grabbed a clump of soft material, and threw it onto the ground.

After throwing it away, Zhou Yan finally saw what that thing was.

It was a pink object that looked very much like a slime, and it even bounced a few times on the ground before coming to a rest.

[Lord Canglan]

[Realm: Middle Body Integration Stage (new method)]

“Holy crap, a mob spawned! What kind of thing just popped out!”

Zhou Yan’s mouth hung open as he hurriedly jumped out of the pool, which only had a little bit of liquid left at the bottom, and prepared to run.

But then he thought that this might be an important area within the main city, and he didn't dare to leave directly, fearing something might go wrong.

After all, this was the Body Integration Stage Lord Canglan!

By the way, why did it have a new method template?

Lord Canglan also gradually formed a body at this time, revealing two white circular eyes, with two short tentacles extending from its sides, making it look even more like a slime.

“Who am I?”

“Where am I?”

“Who are you?”

It scratched its head and asked a trio of confused questions, even using modern language.
