Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#154 - Chapter 154 Thirteen

Li Chenqiu touched his heart. He was all too familiar with this feeling. Wasn't it a sign of the imminent awakening of Extreme Fire?

Seeing Li Chenqiu standing motionless as if scared witless, Li Xuan You hurriedly shouted, "Master..."

Before Li Xuan You could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu moved his mind and forcibly pulled the other party into the烬, landing on the ground.

Facing the spear shot towards him, Li Chenqiu's expression remained unchanged. Wisps of flame surged from his body, transforming into a fiercely burning fireball centered around him.

"How laughable. Without that Spirit Mysterious Tool, what are you?" The snake's head curved, a glint of ferocity flashing in its vertical pupils.

Whoosh—

Dense spears tore through the air, emitting sharp bursts, and with a continuous series of "poof" sounds, they plunged into the fireball.

The sharp spear tips pierced Li Chenqiu's chest without hindrance, fresh red blood spurting out along the spear tips, his body arching like a shrimp.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes.

He was right. This third mural was related to earth.

Just as he was about to straighten his body, another spear pierced his thigh with a "thud", diagonally embedded in the ground, pinning him in place.

At the same time, more than a dozen spears followed closely, like wild wolves smelling blood, ruthlessly piercing his body.

Those spears, as thick as wrists, stabbed dense holes in Li Chenqiu's body, red blood gurgling out, covering his entire body.

In just an instant, Li Chenqiu became a thoroughly bloody mess, a blurry sight of flesh and blood at first glance.

Those spears, like shackles, crossed diagonally, plunged into the ground, and imprisoned Li Chenqiu in place, unable to move.

Li Chenqiu's body trembled slightly, a layer of fine sweat seeping from his forehead, obviously enduring great pain.

But even so, his brow did not furrow, his dark eyes like an ancient well, without a trace of ripple.

"Oh, still not dead!" The giant python emerged from the mud, twisting in a "Z" shape to Li Chenqiu's front, using its forked tongue to roll up the scythe on the ground, and retracting it into its mouth.

"Thank you for delivering such a good Spirit Mysterious Tool to me," the giant python said happily, flicking its tongue.

Li Chenqiu struggled to raise his head, grinning, "Wait... wait for me, my dear soul weapon..."

Whoosh—

Before Li Chenqiu could finish speaking, several spears shot from above, piercing Li Chenqiu's head and neck with several "poof" sounds.

"I wonder how powerful it is."

A hint of human-like disdain flashed in the giant python's eyes, twisting its body and burrowing into the ground.

Li Chenqiu's current appearance was too disgusting, it really couldn't muster the desire to eat.

After the giant python left, this place seemed to have lost its pillar, the mud poured down, burying Li Chenqiu, and his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dense spears gradually collapsed, turning into loose soil, and poured into the holes in Li Chenqiu's body.

Li Chenqiu wanted to take a breath, but his nostrils were filled with soil, wanted to say something, but couldn't open his mouth.

At this moment, he could not breathe, could not move, could not see.

Time slowly passed, and Li Chenqiu gradually felt nothing.

……

……

"Where is this?"

Li Chenqiu stood in place, looking around blankly, but could not see anything clearly.

The sky was gray, the earth was gray, everything was gray.

"Wasn't I buried underground?" Li Chenqiu frowned. Just as he was about to step forward, a roar resounded throughout the world.

Rumble!!!

The terrifying sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, the roar of ten thousand beasts. The gray mist seemed to be stirred by something, surging around Li Chenqiu.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The swift wind blew, Li Chenqiu's hair danced wildly, his clothes fluttered, like an immovable mountain, standing in the center of the world.

He stepped forward.

Tap!

The crisp sound of footsteps spread around, and the mist under his feet scattered like a mouse encountering a cat.

The gray earth had color, the cracked yellow earth quickly spread around, gradually disappearing at the end of Li Chenqiu's sight, swallowed by the gray color.

Li Chenqiu squatted down, spreading his fingers and pressing them against this land.

Rustle—

Suddenly, the sound of turbulent water flowed from his body.

A hint of incomprehension flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, slowly standing up, lowering his eyes to look at his hands.

At this moment, an unspeakable feeling rose in his heart.

"It seems... everything is under control." Li Chenqiu murmured.

The moment the voice fell, a cool sensation spread around Li Chenqiu's body, soaring into the sky, as if牽引 something.

Gurgle gurgle—

A sound like a giant dragon roaring came from the air, countless thick and turbulent streams of water poured down from the gray mist, crashing onto the cracked earth with a "bang".

Li Chenqiu raised his arm and aimed it at the front, softly saying: "Rise."

Rumble rumble—

The earth began to shake, small stones constantly colliding, gray and yellow dust rising from the ground.

The next second, small hillocks rose from the ground, undulating in height, with various strange shapes.

"Water." Li Chenqiu spoke again.

The flat ground cracked to both sides, river channels as intricate as human meridians connected the small hillocks, clear water seeping from the soil, filling the river channels.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes: "What a strange feeling..."

In the outside world, he could control water, but that was only possible with "Extreme Water", but it was different here, everything revolved around the word "thought".

It seemed that as long as he thought, he could do anything.

Losing all restraints, no longer needing to follow the rules, controlling everything, from small dust to the vast earth, like... a god.

Just then, several lines of gilded strange runes appeared in front of Li Chenqiu's eyes.

"Hmm?" Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow.

He had seen these symbols, the words on the parchment two years ago. Like last time, he couldn't understand these runes, but he could understand what they meant.

[Five Elements as the foundation, endless life]

[Wind and rain as assistance, to show kindness]

[Thunder and lightning as punishment, brilliant heavenly might]

[Plague and poison as tribulation, living beings in misery]

[Time and space as the Dao, withered trees meet spring]

[Extreme force as the head, a new god is forged]

Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes, muttering, "Five Elements, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, plague and poison, time and space, extreme force?"

He naturally knew what the Five Elements were: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the basic elements of heaven and earth.

His Extreme Water and Extreme Fire were included in them, as well as this time's earth...

Instantly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Chenqiu's mind.

Five Elements, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, plague and poison, time, space, and extreme force, these add up to thirteen in total.

And there were twelve murals in his palace, plus absolute control, which was also thirteen.

Could there be such a coincidence in this world?
