Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Then I'll arrange to bring him to see the Dao Master now?"

"First, show some respect, then gradually dismantle him before the masses."

"The Dao Master is wise as always!"

...

As news of Wu Hen's awakening spread, it rapidly caused quite a stir globally.

Even now, many people still wondered whether the once towering figure who opened a window of life for the entire Nuwa God End was really one of their own kind.

The higher-ups of the Douyi Star Factory made multiple declarations, stating that the majestic figure was indeed Wu Hen, a Spirit Awakener.

As for how he acquired the power potent enough to defeat the Purple Robed Master and shake the Female and Male Dragon, no authoritative body could clearly explain it.

Fortunately, Wu Hen remained in eternal slumber.

No need for explanations; the mystery became almost divine, providing motivation for those lost and helpless, bestowing hope amid the mire.

Similarly, due to the numerous uncertainties surrounding the situation, apart from some who were familiar with Wu Hen adamantly believing that the figure was him, other factions adopted a "why not believe" attitude in promoting it...

Such an attitude actually couldn't be sustained for long, especially over these five years, as more and more external forces surpassing human understanding emerged. They brought substantive breakthroughs in technology and true Evolution Chain Gates for human Spirit Awakeners, even teaching them how to cultivate, leading to significant and tangible changes for everyone.

Thus, when there was a clash of beliefs, any less tenable deification would be thoroughly overturned!

Currently, it was considered a calm period...

Numerous factions sprang up like mushrooms after the rain, competing within the human homeland.

And the Longevity Sect particularly held an absolute leading position.

Other factions gradually became vassals of the Longevity Sect, and the only one that could shake the Longevity Sect was possibly the revived spirit of the Savior of the Old Faction.

Coincidentally, the Longevity Sect had just dismantled the heroic statue today.

People on Earth who always loved a spectacle finally could once again enjoy the shocking collision, smartphones in hand, munching on seeds!

...

The square was vast and crowded.

But with the appearance of the Changshan Taoist, the crowd parted, creating a wide path. Six disciples of the Longevity Sect accompanied, holding the tokens of the sect, the Longevity Vine, Longevity Flower, Eternal Soil, Longevity Seed, Longevity Root, and Longevity Water.

Seeing their Dao Master appear, the crowd became fervent again, as if merely being near the Dao Master could extend their lifespan considerably. Some older men and women were so emotional they fainted.

"Please invite Lord Wu Hen here for a chat." The Changshan Taoist spoke.

His voice easily drowned out the tumultuous noise, and his demeanor remained extraordinarily composed, akin to a gracious host despite sitting amidst the ruins of the statue.

In the location where Wu Hen stood, the drones and the Guard Team also dispersed, clearing a path for Wu Hen.

As he walked through the parted crowd, Wu Hen could clearly see the revered Changshan Taoist.

This Dao Master clearly wasn't a local, just like the Purple Robed Master, an outsider.

Why did this Changshan Taoist appear like the host here, warmly greeting Wu Hen, the space-wandering alien?

Honestly, Wu Hen felt more like an alien, judged by curious eyes.

Close to him was only Tu Shanlan. In fact, he didn't want to face this scene at all; he just wanted to see his parents, his sister, and Mingyi, who had married...

However, Wu Hen had no choice now, because his awakening had caused the entire city's traffic to paralyze, with the whole city watching him. If he didn't give them an explanation, they wouldn't let him go back to a peaceful life.

In helplessness, Wu Hen had to walk through the crowd again, heading back to the square filled with debris.

With drones following, Wu Hen's every move was broadcasted to the world, the surrounding buildings turned into enormous vertical screens, projecting his image in holograms. It could be seen globally, transmitting to every city at the same time.

Wu Hen also noticed numerous flying devices appearing above Silver Dome City, seemingly from various places, crowding the city's airspace, all wanting to witness this world-altering scene firsthand.

"So, am I becoming the big brother of the whole world?" Wu Hen touched his nose, not expecting his awakening to cause such a commotion.

He walked towards the Changshan Taoist, who appeared to be a leader of this era, nearly revered as the Human Sect Master among the outsiders.

The Longevity Sect?

For some reason, the crowd's frenzy gave Wu Hen the impression of demons and monsters from the Journey to the West, seeing the Changshan Taoist like seeing the Tang Monk, believing that eating a piece of him could grant eternal life and instant sainthood.

"Lord Wu Hen, please be seated." The Changshan Taoist was elegant and amiable, even arranging for his disciples to bring a chair, inviting Wu Hen to sit with him on the elevated position.

Wu Hen, seeing the smiling face, refrained from confrontation. If the person could indeed grant eternal life to people, including himself, he wouldn't mind calling him Elder Tang.

"Although I am an outsider, I have some knowledge of your deeds. My disciples gathered here to hold a grand ceremony for your revival. However, I have some doubts I hope you, Lord Wu Hen, could clarify for my disciples and me. Were you lost in the Desert Dust these past five years?" the Changshan Taoist asked.

"Something like that." Wu Hen nodded.

What did being lost mean? Wu Hen couldn't even explain it himself.

"To this day, many people still doubt your feats. Though the Longevity Sect brings outside beliefs, we never easily extinguish others' faith. Could you tell everyone if the divine figure who saved humanity was indeed you?" The Changshan Taoist bluntly asked.

Divine figure?

Wu Hen didn't know how it looked to outsiders when he embodied the unity of man and sword, transforming into a grand form.

"Could you demonstrate your miracle power for us?" The Changshan Taoist quickly asked another question before Wu Hen could respond.

Wu Hen glanced at the Changshan Taoist.

The other seemed courteous but had a hidden agenda.

Was this to question and overturn his past achievements?

The deeds were indeed done by him.

Deep down, Wu Hen merely wished to protect his family, becoming the world's revered savior was purely circumstantial, driven by Little Yi's immense power!

"I can't demonstrate." Wu Hen bluntly stated.

The Black Divine Material had completely receded from Little Yi, and it was uncertain when it could be nurtured back to its former state.

Currently, Wu Hen indeed couldn't demonstrate the miracle power from the past.

Moreover, even if he could, Wu Hen wouldn't reveal himself as the Black Divine Miracle's owner, avoiding Little Yi's enemies.

Regardless of how they asked, Wu Hen wouldn't admit it.

In short, believe it or not, it's up to you.

"Oh, you can't demonstrate, can't demonstrate. But our Longevity Sect can truly extend the lives of those nearing the end." The Changshan Taoist no longer hid his contempt, directly making a comparison.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted again!!

Indeed, longevity was real. Many people had gained longer lives by following the Longevity Sect. As for the exaggerated, utterly fictitious divine figure, he wouldn't stand.

It was something fabricated by capitalists back then.

They continually exploited the common people, forcing them to mine large quantities of Yuan You in the Otherworldly Dust like miners, then arming themselves strongly and letting most ordinary people fend for themselves!

"Well, you're great. I just want to see my family now, so I won't accompany you." Wu Hen couldn't be bothered to argue with this ill-intentioned person anymore.

"Not seeing you off." The Changshan Taoist had gotten what he wanted. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

There was no need to maintain his previous courtesy, his words turned cold.

A mere mortal, yet deified.

Ridiculous!

His awakening was actually a cause for celebration for the Longevity Sect; a few words could crush the myth of the era.

This was far more effective than the Longevity Sect's forceful methods!

Henceforth, no one would doubt the Longevity Sect again.
