Chapter 316: 196. Storming the summit chart! Veterans are just stepping stones!
This so-called Tianren Pavilion Pavilion Director, whom he had never even met, was an unknown factor: friend or foe.
Just like that, to transfer Blood Qi Power to her.
To help her break the seal.
Wasn't it a bit too hasty?
What if the occupant of the ancient coffin from Tianren Pavilion turned out to be a malevolent figure who just drained me completely?
With this concern in mind, Lin Zichen asked, "Director, how much do you know about the Pavilion Director in the Bronze Ancient Coffin?"
Liu Chuanwu, knowing what he was worried about, smiled and said, "Rest assured, the Pavilion Director's character is trustworthy; she is a grand benevolent figure whose name will be etched in history."
"A name etched in history?"
Lin Zichen was skeptical of this description.
Could the woman in the Bronze Ancient Coffin be some famous historical figure?
But after thinking it over, it seemed that there was no such woman in history.
Setting aside the truthfulness, thinking of famous historical female figures with some degree of martial prowess, probably the only one that came to mind was Hua Mulan, who took her father's place in the army.
Liu Chuanwu patiently explained, "The 'history' in the name etched in history that I mentioned doesn't refer to the history we know."
"But rather, the age of the gods recorded in the many relics."
"That was an era where immortals were everywhere."
"Many of the gods in our current myths all come from that era."
"Of course, I can't ascertain the truth."
"After all, my understanding of that era mostly comes from the relics, and no one can confirm if these records in the relics are somewhat exaggerated."
"Perhaps a powerful being who could lift a ten-thousand-jin boulder with one hand was exaggeratedly described as someone who could lift a whole mountain single-handedly."
"..."
Listening, Lin Zichen nodded in agreement with what Liu Chuanwu said.
In ancient times, due to limited knowledge, many people tended to greatly exaggerate when describing events.
A hunter who went up the mountain and killed a python might eventually be rumored to have slain a terrifying hundred-meter-long Jiaolong.
And the originally ordinary hunter would be transformed into a powerful, dragon-slaying immortal in these tales.
"Having mentioned this age of gods, let's now return to the Pavilion Director in the coffin."
Liu Chuanwu took a sip of his warm goji berry tea and continued, "When I was young, besides being a martial artist, I was also a professional archaeologist."
"To this day, I've excavated a total of 38 relics from the age of gods."
"In these 38 relics, 8 mentioned the Tianren Pavilion's Pavilion Director."
"From them, I learned that the Pavilion Director's name is Qi Qingmo and she was known by the title 'Love Immortal'."
"She was called Love Immortal because she was different from other Immortal Gods."
"Other Immortal Gods would regard mortals as mere ants, but she treated them as her own kin."
"When mortals suffered from famine, she would hunt wild game to provide them with meat."
"When mortals faced floods, she would create channels to alleviate flooding."
"When mortals were oppressed by high and mighty Immortal Gods, she would intervene to stop it."
"In order to allow weak and frail mortals to embark on the path to immortality and gain divine powers, she painstakingly researched and developed the Tempering Blood Technique, a method of Body Refining."
"This so-called path to immortality, when put in the context of our current era, is essentially a path that allows ordinary lifeforms to evolve into gods."
"..."
The path to immortality?
An evolutionary path to become gods?
Mortals?
As Lin Zichen listened to Liu Chuanwu's explanation, he fell into a deep contemplation.
Soon, he asked, "Director, the Immortal Gods and mortals you just mentioned, do they correspond to Origin Land and Earth?"
After saying that, he added, "What I mean is, do the mortals refer to Earthlings, and do the Immortal Gods refer to creatures from Origin Land, or to be more precise, to the other humans from Origin Land?"
Liu Chuanwu shook his head, "I once had the same conjecture, but later I discovered it doesn't seem to be the case."
"Earth and Origin Land are clearly two different worlds."
"But the records in the relics show that mortals and Immortal Gods lived in the same world, without a clear geographical distinction between their territories."
"..."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen felt a bit muddled.
He found that the relationship between Origin Land and Earth was much more complex than he had imagined.
Origin Land remained a place full of mystery and unknowns, giving off the vibe of another universe.
Liu Chuanwu continued, "Anyway, the occupant of the coffin inside Tianren Pavilion is a good person; you don't need to worry too much."
"If you're really concerned, when you evolve into an advanced-level creature with the body of a Pure Blood Human and are about to transfer Blood Qi Power to the Pavilion Director in the coffin, I will find several strong individuals to accompany you, to give you a sense of security."
"Also, I sent you more than ten pictures on WeChat, all related to the Tianren Pavilion's Pavilion Director, which you can look at when you have time at home."
"..."
Lin Zichen: "Director, I'd like to see the Bronze Ancient Coffin you mentioned."
Liu Chuanwu: "The Bronze Ancient Coffin has a sleeping period; during this period the coffin will turn gray, and approaching it can harm one's spirit, only when the coffin turns green, it can be approached."
"It is currently in its sleeping period; in a few more months, it should turn green, and I will take you to see it then."
"For now, you can satisfy your curiosity with the pictures."
Saying this, Liu Chuanwu sent a few more pictures to Lin Zichen on WeChat.
Lin Zichen immediately opened the chat to view the coffin pictures Liu Chuanwu sent.
Just from the pictures, it was an unremarkable stone coffin, nothing intriguing.
