"Immortal Sheep sir?"

Repeated calls, yet the deity did not appear.

Lu Ran felt heavy-hearted, realizing a serious problem!

The contract between a man and a god didn't seem as smooth as imagined?

Lu Ran channeled Divine Power, and his eyes gradually turned into a pair of horizontal pupils.

Divine Technique·Immortal Pupil!

No problem, still able to cast spells.

It's known that human believers must plead to the deity every time they cast spells, and only after obtaining approval can they use Divine Technique.

At this moment, Lu Ran could still use the Divine Technique of the Immortal Sheep faction, which meant he could still connect with the Immortal Sheep sir.

It's just that the "communication signal" between both sides was very weak!

Lu Ran could cast spells, but seemed to have difficulty in communicating with the deity?

"Damn." Lu Ran cursed inwardly, "Where the hell is this place?"

"Boom!!"

A heaven-shaking roar resounded again from the high skies.

The world trembled once more!

Deng Yuxiang suddenly opened her eyes, and her immediate subconscious action was to put a hand in front of Lu Ran.

To say Lu Ran wasn't moved was a lie.

When people are conscious, they can act, they can deceive.

But a person's subconscious reaction is largely from the subconscious, originating from the heart.

"It's alright, just the thundering sound from the sky." Lu Ran softly reassured, "Doesn't seem to have much impact on where we are."

Deng Yuxiang frowned, looked up.

The sunset had already fallen behind the mountains, the world was dim.

In this light, she couldn't see anything more.

She thought for a moment, turned to Lu Ran: "Whatever that is, it must be terrifyingly powerful. We better not explore it for now."

Lu Ran nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's rest first, and gather some intelligence on this world, see if we can learn indirectly."

Both of them had the ability to fly.

But to fly up and look?

Isn't that just courting death?

Lu Ran asked himself honestly, even with all his Evil Demon's techniques, he couldn't cause such commotion with his current strength!

"Go back to sleep." Lu Ran said softly.

His words seemed to carry some magical power, gradually calming her heart.

In the nourishment of the Black Fire, she felt warm all over, deeply comfortable, and drowsy.

She slowly closed her beautiful eyes, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Why don't you make a Black Lantern?"

"The healing effect of the River Grade Cage Fire is better..." Lu Ran briefly explained.

"You should rest too." Deng Yuxiang gently advised, "Make a Black Lantern."

After several persuasions, Lu Ran couldn't resist Deng Yuxiang, and eventually summoned the Black Lantern.

A four-sided lantern, ancient in style, pitch black all over, with black fire flickering within.

Lu Ran spent quite an effort to make the Black Lantern understand his intentions.

With the Black Lantern taking over the healing work, Lu Ran also fell into a deep sleep.

Yet his sleep was restless.

The night sky would occasionally explode with thunderous sound.

Lu Ran was startled awake time and again, feeling as if he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown...

Until the dawn broke, the noise finally ceased.

Lu Ran finally had a chance to rest properly, and when he groggily opened his eyes, there was no one beside him.

Only an "oil-exhausted candle-burnt out" ancient lantern, still dutifully working.

The Black Lantern would absorb energy for a while, then immediately cast a spell to heal its master.

Only a few seconds later, it would be energy-depleted and then absorb energy again.

Repeating this cycle over and over.

It really... I could cry to death...

"Thank you." Lu Ran cupped the lantern gently.

"Crack!" The lantern shattered, finally free from its suffering.

Lu Ran looked around, near the edge of the mountain forest, at the cliff, he saw a proudly standing figure.

He stood up, stretched a bit, and his figure flashed.

"Swoosh~"

Deng Yuxiang's body tensed, and as she retreated, one hand was raised, gripping the hilt on her shoulder.

Only to find it was Lu Ran who stood before her.

Evil Dog Evil Skill·Evil Shadow Flash!

Deng Yuxiang: "..."

Lu Ran had a cute expression, smiling with lips pressed.

Deng Yuxiang glared at Lu Ran: "Rested well?"

"More or less, what about you?"

"Still okay." Deng Yuxiang casually replied, walking to the edge of the cliff, "We must be amidst mountains."

Lu Ran looked around, seeing thick clouds and mist enveloping the rolling mountains.

Look left, mountains.

Look behind, mountains.

All mountains, endless... Ten thousand grande mountains!

"Where should we go?" Deng Yuxiang's gaze was a bit confused.

The path they came from, nowhere to be found.

The path forward, also unclear.

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, shook his head: "No idea."

Deng Yuxiang looked up, the cloud sea above roiled, no sun in sight, no trace of anything.

Lu Ran summoned a Connection Mirror, brushing at it casually: "Why don't we head in one directions first... hmm?"

Deng Yuxiang looked immediately at the Ancient Bronze Mirror.

She saw a wisp of Immortal Fog, slowly descending.

This is?

Lu Ran's mind moved, and the 'camera pulled back.

He happened to see the treetop beneath the Immortal Fog, it was about to fall into the forest.

Deng Yuxiang immediately looked up to search; in the moment of turning around, her beautiful eyes focused: "That way!"

Lu Ran flipped his hand, the bronze mirror transformed into a floor mirror again.

He stepped in, a black cloud formed under his feet.

Evil Spear Emperor Evil Technique·Evil Cloud Stepping Mist!

Deng Yuxiang followed closely, also standing in midair.

Night Charm Evil Technique·Night Dance!

"What is this?" Deng Yuxiang didn't reach out rashly, but carefully examined it, "Such pure energy!"

"Gulp." Lu Ran's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes growing brighter.

Origin Energy?

This feeling, this kind of energy, Lu Ran was all too familiar with!

Every time he made an Evil Demon minion, he would use the energy contained within Evil Sculpture.

Origin Energy,

Belongs to gods themselves/Evil Demons themselves.

People of humble status like Lu Ran have no right to cultivate such power.

His way to obtain Origin Energy has always been rather singular.

By capturing the souls of Evil Demons, integrating them into the Evil Demon Sculpture of the corresponding race, absorbing the trace of Origin Energy contained within the soul.

Here's the problem!

This cultivation method is directional.

Although Origin Energy is universal, it's impossible to use the soul of a paper-doll demon to cultivate an Evil Mirror Demon Sculpture for Lu Ran.

But this wisp of Origin Energy in front...

It's not mixed within Dead Souls, won't be attracted to any Evil Sculpture.

It's simply a pure energy body!

For a moment, Lu Ran was greatly moved!

Doesn't this mean he can cultivate any Evil Sculpture with this wisp of Origin Energy?

No, not just Evil Sculpture!

Lu Ran became more and more excited, licking his lips.

He could use this pure energy to cultivate Divine Sculpture!

"Do you recognize it?" Deng Yuxiang had been observing Lu Ran's expression, reminding him, "The fog is about to hit the ground."

"Mhm." Lu Ran stepping on the black cloud, always accompanying the Immortal Fog flying down.

Upon hearing, he immediately reached out his hand.

The Immortal Fog fell into his palm, gradually merging into his skin.

Lu Ran's face froze.

He lacked the ability to absorb such a high existence, a supremely noble energy.

He merely subconsciously reached out to catch it.

Origin Energy, it fused into his palm automatically!

Then what?

Entered my body, yet I can't use it... darn it!

Lu Ran's expression darkened.

He realized, on another dimension, the Origin Energy was integrating into his soul.

So, humans are treated as containers?

Once human believers die, their souls will eventually embrace the deity's bosom.

By then, the deities can feast to their heart's content.

"Sigh~"

Energy surged through Lu Ran's eyes, opening a pair of Pupil of the Dead World.

Origin Energy within his body, hidden in the soul, completely useless.

Of course, it had to be used to cultivate sculptures within the garden!

Lu Ran immediately raised his head, lifted his hand.

In Deng Yuxiang's surprised gaze, he poured the Immortal Fog upon his eyes.

This wisp of Origin Energy, without Evil Demon souls to carry it, naturally wouldn't be absorbed into the Pupil of the Dead World.

So the problem now is:

Which statue should Lu Ran employ to absorb, handle this pure energy?

Sword One or Jade Talisman?

Spiritual Fortune or Lie Tian?

Ah, whatever, soon the Origin Energy will fully merge into my soul!

"Huf~"

Suddenly, the Immortal Fog flowing over Lu Ran's face found its place, all surging to those chilling horizontal pupils...

Lu Ran's heart was excited, it worked!

Does this world produce Origin Energy?

The dozens of Divine Sculptures within the Sculpture Garden, aren't they all accounted for?
