Chapter 178 Message Board

Ruined buildings, dead villages, and broken walls and eaves still have scratches left by metal slashes, as well as bloodstains that have not yet dried. In the distance, a few flickering flames are still licking the fallen beams.

This is the scene that everyone saw when they arrived.

"Are you late?"

The leading young man was pale and gloomy, his light golden eyes staring at the front, whispering to himself.

Logically speaking, it was not his mission to come here this time, but for some reason this morning, he had an inexplicable impulse like a whim, which made him take the initiative to apply to come here.

At this time, several people around him all looked at him, as if waiting for orders.

"Check for survivors, check for clues, look for existing useful information, and pay attention to traps. Send a signal immediately if there is any abnormality!"

"Yes!"

Several people responded respectfully and disappeared.

Throughout the whole process, the gloomy young man just stared at the ruins without moving his eyes away.

Once a good ally, now he has ended up like this. The speed of destruction and the late request for help make people suspicious.

But this is not the point that the young man is currently focusing on. At this moment, he is more concerned about his own situation. To be precise, the feeling of impulse still exists.

After hesitating for a moment, the young man decided to follow that feeling and gradually walked towards the ruined village.

He was alert throughout the whole process. If there was any abnormality, he would use his prepared backhand.

However, he did not use the backhand he prepared. He kept following that feeling until he saw a round shape with a diameter of about two fingers in the ruins. Well, it should be considered a peace card, the young man thought so.

He did not expect that the feeling of impulse all day today was actually caused by this peace card.

A stone popped out of the young man's hand and hit the peace card accurately. It did not trigger any traps, but the card was knocked far away.

After confirming that it was safe, the young man carefully stepped forward to pick it up.

The sign was heavy and felt not entirely made of wood. The back was painted with the Bagua pattern and the front was engraved with the word "元".

Was it a typo?

The word "元" looked very similar to "縁", and the young man's first reaction was that the font was engraved incorrectly.

Just as this thought came to mind, he suddenly felt a stinging pain on his palm.

The young man's eyes condensed, and almost at the moment of pain, he threw the wooden sign away.

The round peace sign hit the stone wall of the ruins, and there was no abnormality.

But the young man looked down at his right hand, where a trace of blood was so obvious.

Could it be poisonous?

Just as he was checking himself, a special Taoist text had already taken shape on his soul.

Almost instantly, a light blue light curtain appeared in front of the young man.

The young man was startled and quickly dodged and retreated. At the same time, he formed a seal with both hands, and several strong wind blades cut forward. After landing, with the help of cover, the young man created a clone in an instant and silently, and the main body escaped into the ground.

But even so, the light curtain still existed.

Illusion? !

The young man's seal suddenly changed, and the energy in his body was rapidly disturbed, trying to break it.

However, there was no effect.

What's going on? This is not an illusion, what is it? !

The young man frowned and realized that something was wrong. If it was an attack, the possession of a few seconds should have had an effect, but nothing happened. This thing just floated in front of him.

Drilling out from underground, releasing the clone, the companions who were attracted by the movement just now hurried forward to ask about the situation.

"Sir, just now...?"

"Nothing, just a little accident, I reacted a little too much, you continue!"

"Yes!"

After sending people away, the young man's eyes flashed. Now it can be confirmed that only he can see the light curtain in front of him.

Combined with his previous attempt underground, the light curtain in front of him seems to appear or disappear according to his thoughts.

And all this is brought by the peace card.

After confirming that it was temporarily safe, the young man checked the text on the light curtain.

Fortunately, this time it was common text, and he could understand it.

A third of the way up the light screen, there was a message-like content, revealing only the title and part of the text.

The title was: [The destined person, you'd better take a look! ]

The young man, who had already found a little sense of control, focused his attention on the message.

The text then unfolded.

[The destined person, when you see this text, it means that you have been chosen by the will of the heavenly way of this world. Don't doubt it. If you were not guided, you would not have picked up the message board I made...]

Is it called a message board?

After mumbling in his heart, the young man continued to read down. He had a hunch that he might see something interesting next.

[I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky to be chosen, but there are some things that I am used to explaining in advance.

Let me first talk about my origins. I am not from your world. I don't know if you can understand that there are heavens and worlds outside the world. The world you are in is just a grain of sand. The reason why I came here is not voluntary, but I was forcibly pulled here by your heavenly way consciousness in the middle of the breakthrough and ascension!

You may not understand the Heavenly Consciousness mentioned here, and I don’t want to explain too much. You can roughly understand it as a god composed of the subconsciousness of all the native creatures in your world. He hopes that I can help save your world.

But I don’t think so. To tell you the truth, in the world where I ascended, I killed eight figures of people who spoke your language. Therefore, I don’t care whether you are in danger or not. 】

The young man narrowed his eyes when he saw this. He didn't really believe that eight digits, such a population.

[Even if I came to this world with the intention of repaying the karma.

But blocking my ascension, blocking my path, and forcibly pulling me into this world, this series of operations is already a great revenge for cultivation, which is enough to repay the karma.

Therefore, I have no obligation to help you. At most, I can leave this world by myself after spending more time.

However, your heavenly consciousness has reached a long-term transaction with me. I help you and it rewards me in return. This method is indeed beneficial to my cultivation.

But that's all. I declare in advance that I will stay in your world for a maximum of 30 years. What this world will become in the end depends on you.

Okay, let's get back to the topic. It's surprising about the topic of saving the world, isn't it?

It seems that there is no terrible crisis in your world.

Then I tell you, not to mention the starry sky, the entire ninja world under your feet is being played and applauded by others. 】

Seeing this, the young man frowned slightly. The previous content felt like a person's imaginary bragging. If it weren't for the magic of the light screen, he would have no patience to read it.

Later, he saw the words that the entire ninja world was played with by others. Several major ninja villages flashed in his mind for a moment, but he immediately ruled them out. Ninjas are very strong, but they are not to be described as "played with". As for those who are stronger, he shook his head instinctively.

At present, he has great doubts about the authenticity of this message.

[Stop your boring guesses. The truth of your world is more cruel than you think.

Do you know? According to my observation, based on the physical fitness of humans in your world, the normal maximum lifespan is 200 years old, but think about the reality? 】

This sentence made the young man's pupils shrink. He didn't know whether the message was true or not, but the average lifespan of ninjas was 35 years old, and civilians were better, up to 50. The reason why ninjas have a short lifespan, in addition to war, is the extraction and consumption of chakra.

Thinking of this, the young man felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

[You have already thought of it, right? That's right, it is the power system that prevails in your world, chakra!

Constantly extracting your own physical energy and spiritual energy to merge into chakra, forcing your own innate energy to automatically consume to make up for the loss. Let me think about how to describe it. Well, the word "killing life" is very appropriate. ]

Seeing this, the young man's forehead was slightly sweaty. Although he didn't know what the innate energy was, the text made some sense after thinking about it.

[Of course, you may not know that the reason why ninjas in your world can refine chakra is not because of their innate talent, but because in your world, everyone has a chakra seed in their soul after they are born. With the help of this thing, you can successfully extract it.

But do you think this is a good thing?

To tell you the truth, that seed has been continuously extracting your physical and spiritual energy since the moment you were born, and every time a ninja refines chakra, two-thirds of the amount will be directly extracted. Guess where the extracted energy finally goes? 】

Seeing this, although he still didn't believe it, the young man's hands and feet were already cold.

His golden eyes trembled slightly, and he continued to read instinctively.
