All Nyarlathotep did was to help the Yin Emperor find a way to deal with you, and then led him to think that he had found a way to deal with you, that’s all.”

Chapter 475: Upper Old God

Then the situation becomes clear.

Jiang Lu once saw the past from his first-person perspective in the spiritual river of the Yin Emperor.

Emperor Yin was dissatisfied with Jiang Lu’s tyranny, so he secretly wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him and usurp the throne to establish an underworld that better met his expectations.

But Yin Di was still very weak at that time. If they fought head-on, even if Jiang Lu tied his own hands and feet, he would not be his opponent.

So he looked everywhere for ways to weaken Jiang Lu, and his efforts paid off, and he finally found it.

He found in an ancient relic the poison that was said to have sealed the ancient evil god. Of course, it has now been confirmed that it was just a poison that Nyarlathotep personally mixed and hid in a relic somewhere, deliberately for the Yin Emperor to discover.

The core of that poison is actually the characteristics of ancient artifacts that the ancient gods used to target the old days.

From this perspective, the legend is actually not false. This is indeed something that sealed the past.

But what Yin Di didn’t know was that the so-called ancient evil god was not the ancient evil god he thought it was. Perhaps in his cognition, this was some kind of powerful being that existed in ancient times, and the evil god was mainly reflected in his style of doing things. Little did he know that the evil god was a real evil god, a being that was even of a different race from him.

Therefore, its significance to the Yin Emperor is actually just that – a strong poison that is so toxic that it can even cause harm to gods.

But in fact, if he only uses it on people other than Jiang Lu, he will find that the so-called strong poison may not even be able to resist ordinary people. It is only aimed at people with the Old Japanese source.

But perhaps Nyarlathotep had anticipated this, and the amount of poison was only enough for Jiang Lu, so after Yin Di successfully usurped the throne, he never had the chance to discover this.

So this misunderstanding has continued to this day and the truth has never been discovered.

In addition, Nyarlathotep was thoughtful enough to leave a mysterious sealing technique next to the poison, which could be used with the poison, so Jiang Lu was poisoned and then sealed in pieces.

During this entire process, Nyarlathotep did not leave any trace of himself, as the tramp said. This makes the Yin Emperor, who is a puppet, still feel today that all this is due to him and that everything was obtained through his own initiative.

The whole picture of the incident has been revealed before our eyes, and even Jiang Lu has to admire Nyarlathotep’s meticulousness and insidiousness.

“I thought at most he just guided Yin Di to find the poison, but I didn’t expect that he even prepared the poison himself. How is this different from being a nanny?”

Jiang Lu said helplessly, and after a pause, he asked again:

“But why do you say he has no intention of harming me?

If cutting me into pieces and sealing me up is not considered harming me, then I really don’t know what is considered harming me.

Is it because he treats me differently from you?”

“That’s one reason, but it’s certainly more than that.”

The tramp replied:

“What made me conclude that he didn’t want to harm you was that he didn’t kill me, let alone the guy transformed by his ‘physique’.

Just think about his motives and you will know. If he wants to completely eliminate the possibility of you posing a threat to him, then knowing that the poison can only temporarily restrict you but not completely kill you, he should destroy the remaining origins before you have time to merge with other origins.

Then even if you unexpectedly obtained the old bloodline, he with only one third of the origin is still no match for him.

But he didn’t do that. Instead, he left everything here intact.

There is one thing you may not know. After Yin Di came to the throne, he once came to the Jiang Family Compound to further explore your past. At that time, he also became very interested in antiquities. Not knowing what these things were, he once planned to move them away forcibly, but for some reason he suddenly gave up the idea. As a result, this place was later transformed into a tourist attraction.

Although it’s just a guess, I think this was probably written by Nyarlathotep.

In other words, not only did he not harm you, he even left a way out for you.”

“But isn’t this a waste of effort?” Jiang Lu couldn’t understand why. “He went to so much trouble to expel me from the underworld, and left me a chance to make a comeback. Instead of doing this, why didn’t he just not plot against me in the first place?”

The tramp thought for a while and said slowly: “Perhaps it is because of that problem that he does not want to show up too early, but he urgently needs a puppet as the starting point for his stirring up the storm. Obviously, he did not regard you as a puppet that can be thrown away after use, but as the only companion with the same bloodline as him in the world.

So he can only put up with you and let you temporarily exit the stage of history.

I guess if you were exposed to these things at that time, it would cause the situation to be beyond his control as he was not fully prepared. Some conflicts that were bound to happen in the future might be brought forward, and he might not be sure of it. “

“Why do you keep speaking for him?” Jiang Lu was a little dissatisfied: “You give me the feeling that you are trying to smooth things over.”

“I’m just talking about it.”

The homeless man shook his head. “Besides, you were still relatively new at that time, and probably didn’t have his full trust. In his eyes, you were not very reliable. Some things can’t be told by words alone. You have to experience them yourself to know the pros and cons.”

“You make it sound like I’ve calmed down a lot now…” Even Jiang Lu himself didn’t dare to say this.

“In short, these are just my speculations. You can only wait for yourself to explore the actual situation.”

The tramp suddenly sighed a little tiredly:

“Ever since I tried the drug on him forty-nine times, I have…”

“Uh… it was only three or four times just now. Can’t you remember clearly? How come the number is so mixed now?”

“Don’t worry!”

The homeless man glared at Jiang Lu and continued:

“Since then, I no longer have the indomitable spirit I once had. All my ambitions and pride were completely destroyed by him in those few years.

As I am now, I naturally have no qualifications to integrate the remaining origin. Even if it is given to me, I have no interest in it anymore.

All I want now is to remove the source from my body. No matter what the final result is, whether I will die or not, it doesn’t matter. I just want to be able to get rid of those nightmares.

So, Jiang Lu…”

He asked slowly and seriously:

“Whether you intend to fight against Nyarlathotep or choose to identify with your bloodline and stand with him, I don’t care.

I just want to ask you one question now.

Have you made up your mind to take this curse from me and help me get rid of it?

After knowing all this, are you still ready to replace the underdeveloped guy in the spiritual realm?

Become the ‘Frenzy of Desire’, a high-ranking Old One representing fertility and desire?”

Hearing this, Jiang Lu was in a trance, moved his lips, and muttered: “What kind of B title is this?!”

Chapter 476: Is It Really Free?

“I’m not making this up.”

Perhaps worried that Jiang Lu would think he was just talking nonsense, the homeless man pointed at the remains of the ancient artifact:

“You can put your hand on it and you can know everything about it.”

But in fact, Jiang Lu was just saying it casually and didn’t really care. Not to mention that the homeless man’s tone didn’t sound like he was talking nonsense. Even if he was really talking nonsense according to Jiang Lu’s character, he didn’t really care.

What he wants is power. As for character and morals, he already has them anyway, and slander or interference alone cannot change that.

But even though he thought so, after all, the homeless man had already said so, and Jiang Lu was also curious about the origin of this thing, so he still did as he said.

So Jiang Lu slowly approached the ancient object hanging from the dome.

This thing is like a layer of shocking tumors, like an egg sac forgotten in a deserted place, waiting to hatch some unspeakable horror.

Under normal circumstances, even if Jiang Lu did not resist or feel disgusted, he would not take the initiative to approach. But now, not only did he not feel like subconsciously staying away, but he felt a sense of intimacy as the distance got closer.

The moment Jiang Lu’s hand covered the surface of the antique, he suddenly felt himself drifting out of the world.

It is not simply leaving the world we live in as in the past and looking down at the stars in the universe, but looking at the universe in a new way from another perspective, the perspective of the spiritual realm.

Although he had traveled to and from the spiritual realm many times, Jiang Lu had never raised his perspective to such a level before.

As the picture becomes more macroscopic, everything becomes more abstract and simplified. Complex things are piled together and framed by two irregular circles, one large and one small, that are tangent to each other.

One of them represents the Three Pure Lands, and the other represents the underworld. Seen from a high vantage point, they look like two rough pieces of chocolate dotted with chocolate beans.

Blinking in surprise, Jiang Lu suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar to him.

The same distortion, the same disorder…

This strange space has no direction, no light, only the simplest lines.

Isn’t this exactly the scene I saw when I passed through the magic circle of the Elk Temple in Hyperborea and headed to the unknown land?

Could it be that the unknown lands are actually the spiritual version of the countless small worlds surrounding Hyperborea and Dreamland?

Is this the universe as seen by the Old Ones?

Before Jiang Lu could figure this out, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, as if time was going back. The Three Pure Ones and the Underworld began to gradually shrink. Not only did their sizes become smaller, but their relationship also changed from being tangent to being connected, until finally merging, leaving only the large circle representing the Three Pure Ones.

At the same time, the lines were still shrinking, and soon, some small complex spots in the circle disappeared directly, as if they had never existed.

Jiang Lu suddenly understood that the history of the Three Pure Worlds and the Underworld was regressing. This was also another expression of the spiritual river that he had never seen before – the spiritual river of a world!

As the circle got smaller, an inconspicuous spot stood out.

It did not disappear like the other spots, but like an oviparous animal breaking out of its eggshell to be born, it broke through the Three Pure Realms and stood alone in the universe.

Of course, according to the backflow, this actually means that the lines floating around the spot at this moment are gathered together to form the Three Pure Ones Realm.

So where do these lines come from?

Jiang Lu didn’t think much about it, and the answer appeared in his mind.

Pangu the Great!

Sure enough, the next moment, the shattered lines condensed again to form a human figure. The moment the human figure appeared, the area around the spot became chaos.

Jiang Lu was shocked and said silently: “Pangu created the world…”

At the same time, a message came from the chaos.

Strangely enough, although the message was written in a language that Jiang Lu had never come across before, and it was played backwards, in Jiang Lu’s mind, it was pieced together into a complete and coherent consciousness.

This just proves that the order of words does not necessarily affect the reading experience!

This is even more true for the more special life forms like the Old Ones. Even “what you say makes sense” can be automatically translated into “will you get your attention?” It’s very overbearing!

But what is even more domineering is the message itself——

“May the Mad Desire be born smoothly in this mist. I grant you the purity of fertility and desire. You will engulf the entire universe and turn everything you see into a hotbed of gestation!”

Although Jiang Lu had no idea about the title “Madness and Desire” at first, after seeing this prayer chanted by someone unknown and considering the context, he now understood it completely.

Flying weeds!

“turn out to be…”
