Chapter 1: The Premature Awakening of Innate Divine Power
Chapter 1: The Premature Awakening of Innate Divine Power
Late at night, in a suburban cemetery.
Two figures, one tall and one short, stood in front of the grave mound.
"Senior brother, do you think Master is just bragging?"
"If the Three True Ones were truly this powerful before, why were they wiped out by a Nirvana Corpse?"
The little boy with short gray hair looked at the tall, burly man beside him and asked hesitantly.
"I have no idea."
Xia Chuan slowly shook his head, looked at the sky, and sighed.
"To be honest, before I met you, I always thought my master was a charlatan."
He lowered his head, clenched his right hand, and made a loud cracking sound as his junior brother stared in horror.
Xia Chuan looked at his junior brother with a complicated expression:
"It wasn't until I met you that I..."
I just remembered that this place is where the sun and moon are in the same position.
Xia Chuan didn't know much about the concept of the sun and moon being interchangeable.
To be precise, ever since he came into this world, an invisible, overwhelming force has been relentlessly suppressing Xia Chuan's memories.
That is the manifestation of the heavens themselves, the world of the sun and moon, and an inviolable law of cause and effect.
A certain cognitive barrier is like a thick cocoon, completely enveloping his original soul.
Since Xia Chuan transmigrated, he has been gradually losing all his memories of his past life.
Logically speaking, under such strict worldly rules, someone like him should have all his past erased and become a complete native.
Until Xia Chuan activated his cheat ability for the first time.
Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the system panel.
skill:
【Heaven and Tyrant】(Purple·Passive): You will be unable to see, touch, or understand anything that manipulates magic. In exchange, your resistance to magic will be greatly increased, and your physical strength and potential will increase dramatically.
【Intentional Fist】(Blue·Passive/Active): You store 100% of the damage you receive as Willpower, which provides an equal amount of shield and damage for your next attack.
By charging up, you can unleash a powerful attack that deals an additional 20% of your attack power as "unavoidable" damage.
Lottery point: 968
.......
With the system's protection, Xia Chuan finally began to recall his memories of his past life.
Xia Chuan looked at his current lottery draw number: 968
The effect of the cheat is simple: you can obtain skills by consuming lottery points, and you can decide whether to focus on active or passive skills.
The more you consume, the better the quality of the skill you draw.
Currently, Xia Chuan's only purple skill is from the newbie gift pack given by the system.
[Heaven and Tyrant]
It can greatly enhance Xia Chuan's physical strength and potential.
But in Xia Chuan's view, the more crucial issue lies in its side effects.
"Inaccessibility method"
To be precise, it cannot be selected as a target of spells and is largely immune to spell effects.
The skill's effect is incredibly overpowered.
Because so far, none of the talismans or magical artifacts that Xia Chuan has encountered have made him feel like he is being attacked!
However, since awakening his cheat ability, the only way to obtain lottery points is by killing Nirvana Corpses.
Xia Chuan has been trying to kill Nirvana Corpses for six years now, and he only has a meager number of lottery points left.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
Gao Haoguang's curious voice pulled Xia Chuan back to reality.
Xia Chuan lowered his head to look at the gray boy with a curious expression, and slickly changed the subject:
"I just discovered that the Three True Ones in the Same Month Token actually glows."
He then answered Gao Haoguang's question:
"However, our three ancestors must have been wealthy, and the room full of ancient books doesn't seem to be made up."
"After all, my master's education level doesn't seem to be that high, and there are many things he can't understand."
As they were talking, a rustling sound came from a nearby grave mound.
Their eyes lit up.
Then you see a withered, aged hand suddenly emerge from the ground.
A bloodless zombie with pale pupils, dressed in the clothing of a previous dynasty, crawled out of the ground.
In the next instant, it locked onto the two people standing on the high place and jumped straight down.
Upon seeing the enemy, Gao Haoguang was not alarmed but delighted: "Senior brother, there's no need to make a move."
"I can handle this kind of trash too."
He then conjured a talisman and activated its magical power.
"Golden Sword Talisman, go!"
The golden talisman ignited without fire and flew straight towards the Nirvana corpse.
Xia Chuan watched as the burning talisman turned to ashes in mid-air, while the Nirvana Corpse continued its relentless advance.
"Hit it? No effect?"
Gao Haoguang's face turned bright red: "It fell apart in the middle."
He frantically pulled out a second talisman: "Wait for me..."
Xia Chuan shook his head and chuckled, "My turn."
As he spoke, his casual posture instantly changed, and he stood up.
His broad right hand slowly clenched into a fist, his body like a fully drawn bow, his center of gravity sinking downwards, gently lowering himself.
Gao Haoguang stared blankly up at Xia Chuan's back.
There was not a single fluctuation of magical power.
But at that moment, the weight of the entire space seemed to shift, and the center of the entire world seemed to be forcibly compressed into the senior brother's right fist that was gathering power.
Although no magic was invoked, the omnipresent "magic" around them seemed to tremble and be drawn to the pure violence of this punch.
[A deliberate, forceful punch]
Xia Chuan suddenly relaxed his guard: "I forgot, this is a graveyard, we can't make too much noise."
Facing the Nirvana Corpse that had entered the storefront and whose stench of blood was almost palpable, his index finger and thumb curled up:
"That should be about right."
[A deliberate finger snap]
"Bang!!!"
Before Gao Haoguang's incredulous eyes, the head of the Nirvana Corpse turned into a cloud of blood mist with a loud bang.
Then, the headless body twitched a few times before falling apart.
Eliminating ordinary corpses increases lottery points by 10.
Xia Chuan clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Let's go, let's go back and report."
Looking at the relaxed and carefree Xia Chuan, Gao Haoguang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Senior brother, am I really useless?"
Xia Chuan turned around, patted his shoulder with his broad hand, and shook his head, saying, "How could that be?"
Gao Haoguang kept his head down, his voice trembling with aggrieved sobs:
"But I feel that if you had brought a dog with you today, you could probably have won it over in a quarter of an hour."
Seeing his junior brother's extremely low spirits, Xia Chuan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Hmm, you're wrong."
Gao Haoguang looked up suddenly, full of hope, thinking his senior brother was going to comfort him: "Really?"
Xia Chuan nodded and analyzed with great seriousness:
"The dog isn't that useless; it found it in two minutes."
Gao Haoguang was taken aback at first, then his face turned bright red.
Broken Senior Brother!
I'm ignoring you!
Xia Chuan looked at his junior brother, who was as angry as a pufferfish, smiled, and reached out to vigorously rub his junior brother's soft gray dog head.
"Oh, are you angry now?"
Gao Haoguang stubbornly refused to acknowledge him, turning his head away.
Seeing this, Xia Chuan's playful nature was aroused.
He curled up his two long fingers on his right hand, under Gao Haoguang's horrified gaze.
The two fingers slowly pressed against his smooth forehead.
"Bang!"
"ah!!!!"
With a scream, Gao Haoguang closed his eyes tightly, crouched down with his hands covering his head in defense.
The intense pain I had imagined didn't come; I only felt a light touch.
Seeing his junior brother's comical appearance, Xia Chuan burst into laughter.
Hearing Xia Chuan's laughter, Gao Haoguang still didn't dare to open his eyes, but just touched his head in fear.
For a brief moment, he almost thought his head was about to fly off.
Xia Chuan laughed until tears streamed down his face. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes while stroking Gao Haoguang's dog head.
"Don't worry, Gray, you still have your head."
"Hahaha."
To his surprise, the little gray boy in front of him did not start cursing or crying as he had imagined.
He just squatted there quietly, raised his head, and stared at him blankly with a strange look in his eyes.
Xia Chuan's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed slightly, and he thought he had lost his composure:
"What's wrong?"
"I really didn't hit it hard, I just touched it lightly, it didn't even turn red!"
Gao Haoguang's eyes were blank, and he murmured as if his soul had left his body:
"No, senior brother."
"I saw it."
He ignored Xia Chuan's explanation and slowly turned around as if in a trance, casting his gaze upon the boundless plain still shrouded in deep darkness.
In the instant he was stimulated by the extreme fear of death approaching, his senses were magnified infinitely.
He saw something like golden-red silk threads, exuding an ancient rhythm, densely interwoven between heaven and earth, silently enveloping all things in the world.
It exists in the soil beneath your feet, in the withered weeds, in the broken corpses, and even in the flowing night wind.
Xia Chuan was completely bewildered, following his gaze blankly as he looked around at the dark graves:
"What did you see? Are there other Nirvana corpses?"
Gao Haoguang slowly raised his head.
Unbeknownst to him, the horizon had been torn apart by the dawn, and the rising sun cast its golden rays. A ray of warm sunlight pierced through the mountains and fell at his feet.
In this light, the threads became even more clearly visible.
"That which connects everything...the law."
Xia Chuan asked incredulously, "You've awakened your innate divine power?"
"Just because I flicked your forehead?"
Gao Haoguang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, his mind reeling.
That strange sensation receded like the tide, and the view before my eyes returned to its original, ordinary physical state.
"This is... my innate divine power?"
He looked at his hands hesitantly.
It seems like it's not very useful?
Xia Chuan nodded: "That's what the ancient books say."
When the seeker of the Dharma can perceive the Dharma existing within all things in this world, they can begin to explore the power of supernatural abilities.
"However, after the awakening of one's innate divine power, it takes a period of time to fully take shape."
So it's normal that you don't feel anything right now.
Gao Haoguang looked somewhat bewildered: "Really?"
Xia Chuan stroked his chin: "It should be true."
"Because when I lied to my master that my innate supernatural power was a forbidden technique, my master didn't suspect anything."
Gao Haoguang fell silent immediately.
I always felt that my senior brother was a bit too much of a demon.
Xia Chuan patted Gao Haoguang on the shoulder, looking excited:
"I'm giving you the 'Essential Techniques for the Common People' that I secretly prepared as a birthday present today, but I'm giving it to you early!"
The two walked side by side in the soft light of dawn.
Gao Haoguang was walking along when he suddenly stopped and called out softly, "Senior Brother."
"You just said that when one awakens their innate supernatural power, they can clearly see the connection of 'law' between all things, right?"
Xia Chuan stopped, turned around, and nodded: "That's how it is, what's wrong?"
Gao Haoguang raised his head, and the light of dawn outlined his senior brother's tall and majestic back, which resembled a mountain.
But his hand, hidden in his sleeve, began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
Then why can't I see you?
