Wei Chen was startled. What the hell? Practicing a Mental Attack Technique could actually be life-threatening? How did it come to this?
“Senior, to be honest, I am also very interested in that Bloodshed Shop. I even think that after I complete my mission and stabilize the Ancient World without any danger, I would like to visit the Bloodshed Shop. You practice your Mental Attack Technique; perhaps it will attract attention from the Bloodshed Shop. In that case, honestly, I’m a bit hesitant to do so.”
Wei Chen explained with a helpless expression. The middle-aged man listened and nodded, smiling as he said, “I can understand your concerns, but rest assured, unless it’s the Ancestor Xu Elder of the Bloodshed Shop or someone of Master level, that is to say, at the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, they won’t be able to tell that you are practicing my forbidden technique. Those people have fought against me before, so they are sensitive to such forbidden techniques. Moreover, as long as you don’t actively use that Mental Attack Technique, they won’t be able to detect it. But once you reveal it, you will be besieged by the entire Bloodshed Shop; how long you can hold out depends on yourself. Like me back in the day, I lasted for millions of years and killed hundreds of Tenth Level Deities and dozens of Eleventh Level Deities; I even killed four Twelfth Level Deities!”
The middle-aged man’s face lit up with pride as he reminisced about his glorious past.
“Alright then, if that’s the case, practicing a bit won’t hurt. As long as I don’t expose it to the people from the Bloodshed Shop before I have absolute confidence, it should be fine,” Wei Chen thought for a moment and agreed.
Upon reflection, at least within the Endless Divine Realm, the people from the Bloodshed Shop were of lower levels and naturally wouldn’t know about the middle-aged man’s Mental Attack Technique. Even if Wei Chen used it, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. Furthermore, having an exceptional Mental Attack Technique was a good choice even if he didn’t use it; just learning it could serve as a safeguard. If he truly found himself in a life-and-death situation, he could still use it then. It might even save his life in a critical moment.
“In fact, now that you are here, you cannot refuse that reward; it will benefit you greatly without any harm. Perhaps in the end, you will find it very difficult and give up; or maybe you will achieve some results but never face anyone from the Bloodshed Shop and just return to your Ancient World as a local tyrant—that would also be quite normal. For me, no matter what you choose to do, I won’t interfere with you. But I hope you continue to resist the Bloodshed Shop. A life too comfortable isn’t really living; without passion and battle, what’s the point of being a warrior?”
The middle-aged man’s words were not without reason. Wei Chen smiled and said, “You’re right, Senior. I have always thought that way. However, after having a wife and children, my mindset has changed somewhat.”
“Haha, don’t deceive yourself. If you truly wavered because of your wife and children, you would never have come this far; you wouldn’t take risks. During the ninth trial, you hesitated but ultimately chose to step forward even when death was almost certain. You have a Strong Heart; I can see that clearly—there's no need for excuses. Your wife and children are important, but we are all living individuals; we live for ourselves and not for others,” the middle-aged man said while looking deeply at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen was left speechless; his thoughts had been completely seen through by the middle-aged man.
His previous behavior had indeed been like that—when he was single-mindedly striving for strength, he could only apologize to his wife and children.
But now he felt some regret; if something really happened to him, wouldn’t Elegant and Yan Qiqi become widows? The Ancient World Spatial Dimension System might also collapse; his wife and children could face disaster.
Wei Chen was now a key figure; every move he made affected everything else. He thought it would be better to stay stable in the future and not act recklessly anymore.
“Senior, after all this time talking, I still don’t know your name,” Wei Chen said respectfully as he looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said, “My name is so old that I can hardly remember it anymore. But in the eyes of the Bloodshed Shop, I am known as the strongest Killing God; they gave me that name which I actually quite like. You can call me Killing God; I’m used to that title now—I’ve somewhat forgotten my real name.”
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, Wei Chen thought to himself, "This fellow, if he possesses such strong Mental Strength, how could he possibly forget his own name? He must feel a sense of pride in the title 'Killing God.'"
"To instill fear in the Bloodshed Shop and to have killed so many from there, he truly deserves the title 'Killing God.'"
Wei Chen nodded and asked, "Senior, is the title 'Killing God' exclusive to you?"
"I don't know about elsewhere, but here in the Bloodshed Shop, I am the one and only Killing God. The title 'Killing God' is my code name. I have killed countless high-ranking members of the Bloodshed Shop; below the Tenth Level Deity, I can't even remember how many I've slain. As for those Level Seven or Eight snakes, I've casually wiped out hundreds of thousands with just a single move."
What a Killing God!
Indeed, he is a Killing God!
From the tone of Killing God and the look in his eyes, Wei Chen could fully sense how formidable and terrifying the Killing God had been back in the day.
That kind of confidence could only be forged through countless battles and killings.
Surprisingly, Wei Chen did not feel much killing intent emanating from Killing God.
"Killing God Senior," Wei Chen asked, "logically speaking, someone who has killed so many should carry an aura of killing intent. Yet I find your demeanor calm and devoid of such intent. What’s going on?"
Killing God smiled and replied, "Killing intent is something that exists in the beginning, but once you truly become a Killing God, killing enemies becomes a habit and a way of life—just as easy as drinking water—so there will no longer be any killing intent."
"When you reach that level, killing becomes an art, an instinct, a habit. Where would the killing intent come from? In casual conversation, lives are extinguished; how could there be any killing intent?"
At first glance, Killing God's words seemed simple, but upon deeper analysis, Wei Chen felt he had learned something valuable. As for what exactly he learned, it was hard to pinpoint. Perhaps it was a healthier mindset?
However, that kind of mindset isn't something that comes easily. The Killing God has not killed countless people; how could he claim to be divine? If he hasn't made enemies tremble at his name, how could he be called a Killing God? If he hasn't caused the earth to change color and rivers to shift course through his killings, how could he be considered a Killing God? That level cannot be learned; it can only be established step by step through relentless slaughter.
Wei Chen had previously encountered formidable individuals, those who had killed countless people and exuded a heavy aura of bloodshed. At that time, he believed that such a heavy killing intent was a symbol of power and might. However, Killing God shattered his understanding. From Killing God, he realized that everything could be so natural, so calm and untroubled, devoid of killing intent or malevolence. It was a demeanor born from countless battles, standing above the heavens and looking down upon all beings.
Killing God possessed that kind of aura.
"Killing God Senior, back in the day, the Ancient World and the Endless Divine Realm were connected. Were there any humans in the Endless Divine Realm or the Ancient World at that time?" Wei Chen suddenly asked, recalling a crucial point.
Killing God Senior shook his head and replied, "No, there were no humans here at that time."
"Then how did humans come to exist here? If Bloodshed Shop had controlled this world earlier and prevented the birth of humans, you would not have been able to find a host, and they would not have posed any risk, right?" Wei Chen inquired.
Killing God smiled as he explained, "It's not that simple. They feared me finding a host to re-cultivate into a Peak Expert. So when humans first appeared in this world, they adopted an extermination attitude towards them. But gradually they realized that the cosmic system here was somewhat unique. The humans in the Ancient World and the Endless Divine Realm were naturally conceived and could not be controlled; thus, they eventually gave up."
"Then why didn't they directly destroy the Endless Divine Realm and the Ancient World? Wouldn't that solve everything?"
"Heh heh, you're overthinking it. A universe cannot be destroyed. Even I, back in the day, split your universe apart but could never destroy an entire universe. No one possesses such power; while destroying some stars and Spatial Planes is feasible, annihilating an entire cosmic system is impossible. The essence of the universe cannot be obliterated; given some time, it will regenerate."
Killing God Senior's vast knowledge far surpassed Wei Chen's understanding of the world.
"Child, the world is not as simple as you think. Even I cannot comprehend many things. Once, I encountered a person who seemed utterly ordinary. At that time, I was besieged by countless members of Bloodshed Shop, and ultimately I killed them all. After eliminating everyone from Bloodshed Shop, that person finally revealed himself."
"You know that with my Mental Strength's intensity, it's impossible for anyone to escape my detection. Yet that person had been observing for a long time without me noticing him. When he finally appeared, I carefully probed but couldn't even sense his existence. It was like air or a gust of wind."
A nostalgic look appeared in Killing God's eyes as he pondered for a long while before sighing and saying, "He told me that causality has its connections; killing too many is ultimately harmful."
"I asked him if Bloodshed Shop slaughtered so many worlds, wouldn't they be struck by lightning?"
"He told me that someone would eventually eradicate an evil organization like Bloodshed Shop."
"I continued to ask him if his own killings weren't contradictory then. He fell silent, shook his head, and left. Before departing, he uttered a phrase that left me perplexed and remains incomprehensible to this day."
Killing God looked at Wei Chen seriously and said, "There will always be a moment when you understand what the Dao truly is."
Hearing Killing God's words, Wei Chen smiled wryly and replied, "Senior, if you can't even understand these things yourself, how could I possibly comprehend them?"
Killing God continued, "I suspect that person comes from a stronger cultivation world."
"Isn't that quite normal? You just mentioned that a stronger cultivation world must exist."
"Well, you have a broad mindset. When you become invincible across countless dimensions and can stand against a large organization like Bloodshed Shop on your own, you'll understand my thoughts. White Out—that is a fear of the unknown."
"The unknown is always frightening; that's quite normal."
Killing God was speechless. How could this kid have such a positive attitude? After living for so long, he felt he was regressing!
"Alright, enough of the nonsense. I will teach you the Mental Attack Technique now. How far you can go with it depends on yourself."
Then, as if recalling something, Killing God looked at Wei Chen with an odd expression and said, "Before we proceed, I need to tell you one more thing."
"What is it?" Wei Chen asked curiously. Whatever it was that made Killing God act so mysteriously must be something significant.
Killing God said, "The humans in your Ancient World and Endless Divine Realm have gradually evolved to their current state without any assistance from others. You were not shaped by any god's blood. All beings in the Ancient World and Endless Divine Realm are born of nature. If it weren't for the constraints imposed by Bloodshed Shop, because you are naturally born, your potential for growth would be immense. Escaping from Bloodshed Shop would be incredibly easy."
