Chapter 1 Lu Changsheng's Choice

Lu Changsheng arrived at the end of the cave.

The bright light appeared even brighter, like colored glaze, shining on Lu Changsheng's body.

Instantly, a scene appeared in his mind.

An invincible being with the head of a dragon and the body of a man, possessing three thousand hands, each holding a divine object, awoke from the universe and stars.

Lu Changsheng immediately recognized that this was exactly the same as the figure he had seen on the blood-stained white bones.

He stood above the heavens, terrifyingly powerful, controlling everything, with all things in his grasp.

Yet he was still not satisfied.

Because in this world, there were beings even more powerful than him.

He conceived an idea, wanting to recreate the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, to re-establish the world, and truly control everything in his hands.

However, an unspeakable, indescribable, ineffable power appeared and erased him.

Faced with this power, this invincible being with the head of a dragon and the body of a man had never felt so powerless, unable to resist at all.

Lu Changsheng at this moment seemed to be immersed in his experience, feeling this terrifying power.

And just like that, this invincible being died.

It was almost like a dream, giving people a feeling of unreality.

Lu Changsheng also didn't quite react.

This invincible being was the strongest he had ever seen, almost at the level of proving the Dao.

And yet, he died just like that.

The body of this invincible being turned into dust and dissipated, its dragon head transforming into a mountain range.

Over endless years, this mountain range constantly absorbed the power of heaven and earth.

And in this process, it re-gathered the dust that his body had transformed into, allowing the mountain range to continuously evolve.

Finally, this mountain range transformed into a familiar form to Lu Changsheng.

It was precisely the appearance of the Ancient God Mountain Range.

After a long time, Lu Changsheng withdrew from this scene.

What he saw in this scene was somewhat similar to his original guess and what Wang Xiu had said.

It was not that the Ancient God Mountain Range nurtured an invincible being.

Rather, the Ancient God Mountain Range was formed after the death of an invincible being.

The existence being nurtured was simply that invincible being, constantly absorbing power through the Ancient God Mountain Range, reviving in a certain way.

"Is this the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?"

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

In his mind, he thought of the unspeakable, indescribable, ineffable power that had erased the invincible being.

The scene outside the cave appeared before Lu Changsheng.

It was a river.

The river surface was very calm, or rather, deathly still, without the slightest ripple.

Lu Changsheng opened his Chaotic Dual Pupils and observed carefully.

The river water was ashen, and even with his Chaotic Dual Pupils, he could not see through it.

At both ends of the river, there were caves, and the scenes inside the caves could not be seen clearly.

Across the river, there was a hazy fog, which also prevented him from seeing clearly.

Lu Changsheng was a little shocked.

He actually couldn't see anything.

He looked at the mist across the river.

Through deduction, Lu Changsheng knew that the God of War was ahead, across the river, not far from here.

Now, if he wanted to continue forward, he had to cross the river.

This river seemed like a pool of stagnant water, but Lu Changsheng was very clear that this river was extremely unusual, and it definitely contained danger.

"Little friend, are you alright?"

Wang Xiu saw that Lu Changsheng was fine and stepped forward.

However, he kept his eyes tightly closed and sealed his primordial spirit perception.

He was very aware of his own limitations.

Although he had forgotten what he had seen back then.

He remembered very clearly that he had suffered a Dao injury and fallen after seeing that scene here.

To be honest, he was naturally very curious about what this scene was, and he wanted to see it again.

He wanted to know what he had seen back then.

But he was afraid.

Curiosity killed the cat, and he was afraid that one more look would make him disappear again.

He was at least a Creation Supreme in his lifetime, how could he fall in the same place twice?

"Senior, I'm fine."

Lu Changsheng said.

Hearing this, Wang Xiu was silent.

He understood.

He was being targeted.

Because he had died after stepping in, he had to be killed.

Now, because it's "welcome," nothing happened to Lu Changsheng.

Wang Xiu felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

It wasn't that he wanted something to happen to Lu Changsheng.

But in this comparison, who wouldn't feel uncomfortable?

He didn't continue to think about it, nor did he ask Lu Changsheng what he had seen in the scene.

Because he was afraid.

"Senior, do you recognize this river?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"River?"

Wang Xiu asked, appearing very puzzled.

"That's right, there is a river blocking the way outside this cave."

Lu Changsheng said.

This river was very unusual, and he didn't know how to cross it.

The only way to cross the river that he could think of was to cheat.

I, Lu Changsheng, have always relied on my own efforts, step by step, to get to this point. How can I cheat? No! I can't!

Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, Wang Xiu was silent for a while again.

In his memory, after taking a glance at that scene, he was about to leave and didn't see any river.

Wang Xiu took a few steps forward, came to the cave entrance, and opened his eyes.

There were no dangerous scenes, just a normal sight.

"Dead Water River."

Looking at the river in front of him, Wang Xiu appeared very surprised.

"Senior, you recognize it?"

Lu Changsheng asked, and couldn't help but nod his head. As expected, having an old person at home was like having a treasure. He was knowledgeable and immediately recognized it.

"This Dead Water River is one of the strange phenomena in the Great Thousand World. How it is formed, how it appears, where its source is, and where its end is, are all unknown to this day. No one knows."

"But the horror of this Dead Water River is known to many people. The Dead Water River has appeared in several extremely dangerous places, and the name Dead Water River does not refer to the river water being like a pool of stagnant water, but rather that all those who cross the Dead Water River die without exception, including Creation Supremes."

Wang Xiu explained in detail.

"Then wouldn't that mean no one can cross the river?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask, appearing very curious.

Wang Xiu shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. There was once a Creation Supreme who forcibly crossed the river with a supreme treasure of Yin attribute and was one step away from succeeding."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was shocked.

A Creation Supreme with a supreme treasure was still one step away.

That was too exaggerated.

Could it be that only those who prove the Dao can cross the river?

Then with his strength, wouldn't he have no hope of crossing the river at all?

What should he do?

Could it be that he had to forcibly cheat?

Lu Changsheng frowned, somewhat helpless.

With his current situation, he could only cheat if he wanted to cross the river.

But this time, he was looking for the God of War, it was for a righteous cause, so this wasn't called cheating.

Lu Changsheng made a decision in his heart and walked forward.

"Little friend, it's better to give up."

Seeing this, Wang Xiu couldn't help but dissuade him. This Dead Water River was too terrifying.

Even if Lu Changsheng was very extraordinary, it was impossible for him to cross the river.

This was terrifying and made one feel a headache.
