Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 569 - 524: The Mixed Fish Group under Dragon Gate

After arranging a destination for Mo Chuan and his group, Wu Hen also crushed the half piece of high-dimensional Yuan You.

The half piece of high-dimensional Yuan You was clearly nourishing for the entire Nuwa God End, not to mention that this Yuan You had been purified by the other Nuwa's people. The moment it returned to his own soul, a gentle call resonated from where Nuwa Yan was, as if to bestow another blessing upon Wu Hen.

Wu Hen's original intention was to guide Yi Liang's host back to the Divine Realm, but he had some confusion in his mind that he needed to discuss with someone...

Moreover, Wu Hen's mental thinking was now very powerful, equivalent to a god descending into a mortal's body. Wu Hen merely needed to leave a mental imprint on the host, and Yi Liang's host, like a pilgrim, would head towards the Nuwa God End on its own, without Wu Hen's manipulation.

Waking up from the virtual Life Pod, Wu Hen hurriedly left the building, only to suddenly discover that Gao Yu Yan and Wang Rui were still wandering in the otherworldly realms.

Wu Hen touched his nose in embarrassment.

He had promised to guide them through evolution, but ended up not encountering them at all.

To tell the truth, Wu Hen also didn't know where exactly the two of them awoke in the Ashen Land... But with more urgent matters at hand, Wu Hen couldn't afford to pay attention to them.

...

He headed to Lun Mountain City and entered the secret bunker.

"Open the door, it's me!"

"Is there something urgent?" Li Feng asked puzzled.

"I didn't go to bestow blessings immediately; I came here first, what do you think?" Wu Hen said irritably.

"Alright, but first stand at the door and calm down for three minutes while I change into different clothes," said Li Feng from behind the thick door.

Wu Hen patiently waited for three minutes before the door finally opened.

He went straight into Li Feng's research lab, to be honest, Wu Hen didn't understand what Li Feng was doing hiding in this underground place all the time, as if the slightest bacteria outside could threaten his life...

"Are you keeping a lot of things from me?" Wu Hen directly confronted.

"That depends on what you know. There's a lot that I've kept from you," Li Feng answered quite sincerely.

His sincerity left Wu Hen not knowing how to vent his frustrations.

Seeing that Wu Hen's emotions were relatively stable, Li Feng poured him a cup of hot water, even adding some goji berries to calm the young man's fire, and let Wu Hen speak slowly.

"Our Divine Realm isn't just one, right?" Wu Hen asked.

"Is that hard to guess?" Li Feng counter-questioned, "You should know, when I announced the truth back then, I likened us to small fish fry about to be released into the real ocean... You know about scale fish, right? They lay eggs on land, and when the season comes, the small scale fish need to return to the sea. Therefore, predators of different levels are already positioned on the scale fish's return path - seagulls from above, crabs and lizards from land, and whales and sharks from the water. The small scale fish must overcome many obstacles to return to the sea, and even the sea is not absolutely safe."

"There's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time," Wu Hen said.

"Go ahead and ask."

"What exactly are the people you banished to Longevity Island?" Wu Hen asked.

"Aren't they the ones you drove out of the Nuwa God End? When you returned, you issued an expulsion order for those of the Longevity Sect, banishing eighty percent of humanity," Li Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Don't play coy with me!" Wu Hen grabbed Li Feng by the tie. The man was still dressed up in a suit as if he was ready for a showdown!

Li Feng didn't get angry, and with a mischievous smile, he explained: "Ok, I admit, even if you didn't expel those people, I would have still packed them up and sent them to the high-dimensional insects, because Insect People like to stay with Insect People. Interestingly, the high-dimensional insects are not immune to Insect Eyes either; they too are parasitized by Insect Eyes."

Wu Hen released Li Feng's tie.

Good grief, Li Feng had long known that nearly half of the people in the whole Nuwa God End had been parasitized by Insect Eyes Half-man. The external crisis from Red Port did indeed come from high-dimensional insects, but there was also a terrible threat internally.

"I thought the Insect Eyes crisis had ended in Li City," said Wu Hen.

"How could that be possible? You only protected Li City, but there are so many cities around the world, so many Fallen, all longing to return to the Divine Realm. Many of them carry Insect Eyes," Li Feng said calmly.

Wu Hen suddenly had an epiphany, no wonder when all of humanity first encountered the Longevity Sect, there was a collective reduction in intelligence.

"I saw the Fallen Guanyin Tree, that is the high-dimensional form of Insect Eyes." Wu Hen said.

Hearing this, Li Feng shook his head and said, "That's only within the Cang Chu Divine Realm dimension. You should know that even the Insect Eyes Half-men possess a certain degree of intelligence. They do not consider the Guanyin Tree as their ultimate destination. As a parasitic species, they actually have a very simple objective, which is to parasitize upon more powerful species as much as possible. When we first encountered resistance from the high-dimensional insects, the Insect Eyes Half-men also encountered auspicious wood. They wanted to drill into the body of high-dimensional insects, and that was also a shortcut to leaving the Cang Chu Divine Realm and entering a higher dimension."

Wu Hen opened his mouth, suddenly realizing that even in high dimensions, he still seemed like a naive elementary student in front of Li Feng.

Moreover, Li Feng had already caught a glimpse of a corner beyond the Cang Chu Divine Realm.

"If the Insect Eyes Half-men can still find a crack leading outside of Cang Chu, why couldn't we, the sentient species, dig one out? You've also set foot in many places in Cang Chu, you should understand this place is not suitable for us to inhabit for long. Perhaps some who evolved to higher levels have adapted to the Cang Chu Divine Realm, but we cannot only consider the present. We must also think of our descendants. One day, Shenduan will be eroded by some powerful and unknown force, the Spiritual Factor will decline due to some disaster, and our homeland will no longer give birth to geniuses like you who can stand on their own. The fate of our homeland will be no different from the Shenduan skeletons you've seen," Li Feng said.

"Every time I come here, you brainwash me." Wu Hen was still upset, "Clearly, you could have informed me of these matters much earlier."

"You're so young, how could I be sure that you wouldn't be tempted by the outside world? If you admired the technology of the thriving Da Xuan, if you were intoxicated within the Cultivation hierarchy of upper echelons of the Holy Sect, if you were attracted to the exotic beauties of otherworldly lands, then you could very well make your own choices and stay in the Cang Chu Divine Realm. Why bother knowing about these things? If you are unaffected by these, if you are determined to seek that elusive and unknown other shore, I also hope that you're not living in a cocoon, being brainwashed, being forcibly injected with spiritual beliefs, but that after having witnessed the various aspects of a diverse world, you develop a deep love from the heart for our original world... So now, isn't it more meaningful for you to have your own revelations than for me to force it upon you?" Li Feng said.

Wu Hen fell silent.

Even though what you said makes sense, it doesn't stop Wu Hen from wanting to hit someone.

"I guess I understand now why the Jade Lady Mantis was so furious back then. She was initially playing the role of the Holy Mother, but then she suddenly turned hostile, even bringing the Black Unihorn into our homeland. She'd rather risk annihilation under the suppression of Nuwa God End's laws than not try," Wu Hen said.

Originally, Wu Hen thought that high-dimensional insects were just so-so, and not much different from minor Pseudo-Gods like Zai Wu, having petty minds.

But now that he understood the true nature of the events, Wu Hen suddenly grasped the real anger of the high-dimensional insects. They attempted to implant genetic fear into humanity, not only did they fail, but they even attracted the parasitism of the Guanyin Worms. Those Guanyin Worms, playing fools within the homeland, were the real intelligence. They originally intended to lead Wu Hen's Shenduan into the nest of the Fallen Guanyin Trees in an orderly fashion, but instead, they accidentally latched onto the high-dimensional insect ships, becoming parasites of high-dimensional life, living in luxury in the high-dimensional environment.

This meant that back in Red Port, normal humans successfully escaped the Human Circle of high-dimensional insects, while the Insect Eyes Half-man tribe also managed to infiltrate the high-dimensional insect circle, achieving a win-win situation. Only the high-dimensional insects lost both their wife and soldiers, being played by two lower-dimensional species.

"Coming here, you must have more than just this matter on your mind, don't you? You've had the answer to this in your heart for a long time, haven't you?" Li Feng said.

"What exactly are we?" Wu Hen asked.

There were more than one Nuwa God Ends.

Even Li Feng just now compared Nuwa God Ends to fish eggs hatching on the shore, going back en masse to the sea.

And Wu Hen indeed saw the Shenduan Graveyard, where all were predecessors from his lineage. They went through different trials, were eroded by different forces, and in the end, all perished...

If so many have perished, it implies that the road ahead is mostly a dead end. Should they really continue to follow one after another?

"I can't give you the answer," Li Feng replied, "but the entire Cang Chu Clan is puzzled by this question."

"The entire Cang Chu Clan??" Wu Hen did not understand. How was this related to the entire Cang Chu Clan?

"What you see are the countless remains of Shenduans, a graveyard, but have you ever thought about where the Ten Thousand Veins of the Cang Chu Clan come from..." Li Feng said.

Wu Hen furrowed his brows, pondering this question seriously.

Suddenly, the image of Mo Chuan and the others migrating to Liewei City entered Wu Hen's mind, providing an inspiration for his thoughts.

This inspiration was very bold!

But it seemed extremely close to the truth!

"The entire Cang Chu Divine Realm, whether it's Da Xuan, Holy Sect, Zhenwu, Wasteland, Barbaric… they were once the people of Nuwa God Ends, and they are the ones who have migrated from those shattered Divine Realms. In the Cang Chu Divine Realm, they settled and took root as Nuwa's people. As time passed, they continuously evolved, constantly undergoing changes, and they gradually stratified the Human Clan into different classes, seeing themselves as the indigenous Holy Clan, Upper-class Clan." Wu Hen put forward this conjecture.

Li Feng's eyes sparkled, and he heavily patted Wu Hen's shoulder, then burst into loud laughter: "Haha, I knew there wouldn't be only me in this world who thought this way!"

The entire Cang Chu Clan, they were all their predecessors.

They guarded the Shenduans thousands, tens of thousands of years ago. When the Shenduans shattered, they settled here, were forced to adapt to this environment, were forced to propagate and thrive here.

"You should know, all fish swimming upstream will eventually see a Dragon Gate Waterfall, and beneath the waterfall, one is destined to see all sorts of riffraff. They are not as grand and noble as they describe themselves. You see them in this big quagmire because they are the ones who failed to leap over the Dragon Gate..."
