Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 63: Bestowing Grace without Expecting Repayment, Extending Opportunities!

Luozhou City.

City center.

Under the pitch-black night sky, a golden light suddenly descended from the heavens, instantly illuminating the surrounding area for kilometers as if it were daytime.

Even in the areas outside the city, one could see the extraordinary brightness from afar, like fireflies in the darkness, bright and eye-catching, impossible to ignore.

When Liu Zimo arrived, he saw Lou Yuchen sitting cross-legged, unconsciously suspended in the air about a hundred meters above the ground.

Golden light radiated from his body, illuminating all directions. He looked like a golden Buddha from a special effects movie!

All the survivors in the area couldn't help but look up at this miraculous sight.

As ordinary people living in the 21st century, they had never seen such a situation that defied scientific norms.

People flying was one thing, but to be able to emit light from within like a small sun was another!

If this had happened before the catastrophe, someone would have immediately come forward to debunk it or film a video to gain attention online.

But now, seeing the sudden golden light in the air, those who were in dire straits felt as if they had seen a savior, their eyes filled with excitement and longing.

This confirmed the saying: the more desperate people are, the more they hope for miracles.

And now, a miracle had truly occurred!

Under the illumination of the golden light, all the nearby monsters, whether they were soldiers, officers, or even more powerful commander-level monsters, scattered and fled as if they had encountered a natural enemy, avoiding the area covered by the golden light.

The survivors who had escaped the disaster began to cheer and rejoice, some even falling to their knees in worship, believing that a divine being had descended to save them.

Only Liu Zimo, furrowing his brows, stared at Lou Yuchen bathed in the golden light.

"Has he really been infected?" Liu Zimo muttered to himself.

Even though he hadn't yet investigated the situation inside Lou Yuchen's spiritual platform, Liu Zimo had already sensed that something was wrong.

While others might not know what the Golden Body Realm was, as someone who had come from the future, Liu Zimo was naturally well aware.

Although the Golden Body Realm was powerful, it was still far from being able to intimidate low-level monsters to the extent that they all fled.

Neither Liu Zimo himself nor Hong Yuxun, who was far away in the capital, would be able to instill such fear in countless monsters, even if they reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Therefore, it was highly likely that the current Lou Yuchen had already been infected by the Devouring Spirit Worm, resulting in this abnormality that frightened low-level monsters.

The thought of Lou Yuchen, who would be worshipped and revered by the people in the future, actually being a puppet controlled by the monster race sent a chill down Liu Zimo's spine.

The speculation about the human race's "breeding grounds" and "hunting grounds" resurfaced in his mind.

Even someone as powerful as Lou Yuchen, who stood at the pinnacle of the human race, had fallen victim to the monster race's scheme and unknowingly become their puppet.

Then, what about the other two Martial Saints of the Human Federation, the Ten Grandmasters, and the actual leaders of the major forces? Would they also be unable to escape this fate?

It was a terrifying thought, wasn't it?

Taking a deep breath, Liu Zimo's thoughts stirred slightly as he slightly opened the gates of his spiritual sea, allowing the Devouring Spirit Worm imprisoned within to clearly sense the spiritual energy fluctuations outside.

Soon, after sensing the fluctuations of similar energy, the chaotic thoughts of "Yao Lingling" became extremely active again:

"Oh, isn't this the spiritual energy of Yao Eleven!"

"I didn't expect this idiot to have such good luck, just arriving and catching a big fish!"

"It's really unfair! Why does Yao Eleven, who has low talent, have such good luck, while I, who have the potential to become a king, am so unlucky, being imprisoned like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?"

"But it seems that Yao Eleven has already attracted the attention of this abnormal human. His good luck is probably about to run out!"

"I just hope it can be a bit smarter and not be like Yao Thirteen and Yao Sixteen, those two idiots who, upon seeing a spiritual cultivator, rushed in like starving ghosts seeing delicious food without any hesitation!"

"Unfortunately, I am now trapped and unable to establish a spiritual web in this spiritual sea. Otherwise, I could use the fluctuation of the spiritual web to warn Yao Eleven and seek help..."

"Ah, so annoying!"

"Oh, Ancestor, when will you come and save your good grandson?"

"..."

Receiving the chaotic thoughts transmitted from Yao Lingling, Liu Zimo became even more certain that Lou Yuchen was being controlled by the Devouring Spirit Worm.

Liu Zimo didn't say much, but instead quickly approached Lou Yuchen and voluntarily released his spiritual aura.

Swish!

Before Liu Zimo could release his divine sense and forcefully intrude into Lou Yuchen's spiritual space, he sensed a flash of white shadow in his sea of consciousness. A small, white and almost transparent bug swiftly drilled into his sea of consciousness like lightning.

"Hahaha! This spiritual sea of cultivation is incredibly delicious. It is truly the most suitable place for our devouring spirit insect clan to inhabit and evolve!"

"With such a vast space in the sea of consciousness, and such pure spiritual power, everything will be mine in the future!"

As soon as Yao Eleven entered, he began to laugh heartily in the sea of consciousness, feeling extremely delighted.

However, he didn't notice another imprisoned member of the same kind deep in the sea of consciousness, who was looking at him with a face full of pity, as if mourning for him.

"This idiot couldn't resist the temptation of spiritual aura and threw himself in. He's really seeking death!"

"This sea of consciousness is so vast that even someone as talented as me can't reach the bottom. How could you, a mediocre fool, have any hope?"

"He's just delivering himself as food!"

Sure enough.

Before Yao Zero Zero could finish sighing, he saw Yao Eleven's tail suddenly burst open, and hundreds of years of spiritual crystals burst out.

The lively little bug that was just jumping around instantly turned into specks of starlight, merging into the endless sea of spiritual consciousness beneath him.

At the same time, Liu Zimo heard a notification in his ear:

[Your good brother Lou Yuchen has encountered a fortuitous encounter. He has turned misfortune into fortune and successfully assimilated the Devouring Spirit Spider Web. His spiritual consciousness has mutated, his mental power has multiplied, and he has opened up a spiritual sea, stepping into the Spirit Yuan realm!

Triggered the 'Heaven Thief' innate talent, sharing half of the cultivation increase, mental power +10, soul strength +5, lifespan +3.]

Liu Zimo's expression froze.

What's going on?

Lou Yuchen actually opened up a sea of consciousness and advanced to become a Spirit Yuan realm cultivator?

"I didn't expect it. The spider webs spit out by the devouring spirit insects actually have such powerful effects!"

"Does that mean the three people I saved earlier, like Lou Yuchen, might also become Spirit Yuan realm cultivators?"

Liu Zimo's thoughts surged.

If that's the case, he could consider using the devouring spirit insects to cultivate a group of human cultivators.

Even if they were only at the lowest level of Spirit Yuan realm, they could still play an unparalleled role in the city defense battle in the end times!

Of course, the prerequisite was that he could obtain enough devouring spirit insects in advance and master the means to safely control these insects!

"Mr. Liu?!"

"Just now, you expelled the strange bug that had taken residence in my mind, right?"

At this moment, the golden light on Lou Yuchen's body dissipated, and he regained his clarity from the chaos.

Seeing Liu Zimo, who was close at hand, Lou Yuchen immediately recognized this former important client before the catastrophe.

Seeing that Liu Zimo could also create a virtual presence like him, how could he not understand that this Mr. Liu was definitely not an ordinary person?

And the strange bug that had been constantly influencing and manipulating his thoughts just now was probably helped by this Mr. Liu.

"I am deeply grateful for your great kindness!"

Seeing that Liu Zimo didn't deny it, Lou Yuchen bowed deeply, sincerely saying:

"I will always remember this favor in my heart. If Mr. Liu needs anything in the future, just ask. I, Lou Yuchen, will repay it even with my life!"

Liu Zimo shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "It was just a small effort. Mr. Lou doesn't need to be so polite!"

"If you really want to thank me, please focus on cultivating martial arts in the future, strive to become extraordinary and enter the realm of saints as soon as possible, protecting the world and bringing prosperity to the human race!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo moved his mind and sent all the martial arts techniques and spiritual secrets he had mastered into Lou Yuchen's sea of consciousness.

Afterwards, he disappeared in a flash, leaving Lou Yuchen standing there, bewildered and grateful.

For a long time, after absorbing all the martial arts techniques and secrets that suddenly emerged in his sea of consciousness, Lou Yuchen couldn't help but bow again in the direction Liu Zimo had left, sighing:

"I've truly encountered a good person!"

"Mr. Liu, I will remember this life-saving and enlightening favor. I will never forget it until I die!"

"Rest assured, in the future, I will study and practice diligently, and I will never disappoint Mr. Liu's expectations!"
