Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

His sister’s words struck his brother like a lightning.

Even though there was no lightning in this world, the cowardly youth still felt as if something in the depths of his heart had cracked.

…Just like the cracked sky.

Memories of the past came flooding out of the cracks in his heart.

His father, who was tall, strong, sincere, and always laughing like the sun.

Even if he were to die, it would be for the sake of exploring the supreme mysteries of the Iron Fist Dao. For the great Fist God, he would die a glorious death.

But it was actually fake?

The familiar yet clear memories turned strange and fuzzy.

The sincere, righteous, straightforward, and vigorous father did not exist. In his place was a sinister, evil, and sneaky evil disciple.

The young man’s world was collapsing inch by inch.

Like a high tower made of sand facing a roaring ocean, it turned into sand again.

“That’s impossible.”

Gus had already believed his sister.

After all, what he saw was undeniable.

No matter how talented his sister was, it was impossible for her to build such an altar without being noticed.

But he could only repeat ‘it’s impossible’, because it was the only response he could give to the entire world.

Grey ignored her brother, who was on the verge of collapse.

Her words just now seemed to have overturned her last belief or fear about the Fist God.

She stared at Lu Qingchen and repeated, “Tell me how my father died!”

“Uh…”

Lu Qingchen was dazed for a moment. He scratched his head in distress. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

Grey’s face was dazed at first, and then it turned into fury. Even if the guy was really a devil from the steam hell, she still wanted to lunge at him and bite him hard. “You ran out of the steam ball that my father has been studying. My parents sacrificed their lives for you. Just now, you said that you could fulfill three of our wishes, and now you are telling me that you didn’t know?”

“How would I know?”

Lu Qingchen rolled his eyes and explained patiently, “Strictly speaking, I did not crawl out of the steam ball. What you did violated a certain rule of the world and caused a bug… Forget it. I can’t explain it clearly. Let’s just say that I came out of the steam ball. But I’ve been staying in it all the time and know nothing about the world. How did I know how your father died?”

“Then—”

Grey was dazed for a moment and said unwillingly, “You just said that you could make me the best expert of the world and even destroy it!”

“That’s possible.”

Lu Qingchen shrugged and said, “In fact, it is much simpler to destroy the world than to retrieve a certain piece of information from the bottom database of the world under the tight surveillance of the Fist King. Are you sure you want to destroy the world right now? Then I will!”

It was clearly the ugly face of a six-year-old child, yet it spoke in a strange language that even an adult could not understand.

It was supposed to be ‘destroying the world’, but he made it sound as simple as dinner.

Grey and Gus shuddered hard.

“No. We don’t want to destroy the world.

Grey swallowed and said, “I only want to know the cause of my father’s death, find the real murderer, and kill him.”

“No problem.”

Lu Qingchen smiled. “Although I don’t know the answer yet, I have nothing better to do right now. Therefore, I can help you find the truth. Besides, I’m not one of those devils who like to play with logic and traps. I only have one wish for you to find the cause of death, the real murderer, and the real murderer. How about it? I am indeed an honest, kind, simple, and innocent elf, right?”

Grey and Gus looked at each other.

Although the mysterious devil named Lu Qingchen had not shown his sharp fangs since he was summoned,

But the two siblings were more and more certain that, whatever he was, he was definitely more terrifying than the legendary steam devil.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Am I that scary? To be honest, we don’t know who will destroy the world in the end!”

Lu Qingchen’s smile was even gentler and more harmless. He said, “Brother Gus, Sister Grey, nice to meet you. We are all friends now. Good friends should help each other. Besides, I promised to fulfill your three wishes. So, seeing that I’m so honest, kind, and innocent, can you do me a favor?”

“No…”

Gus shook his head subconsciously.

“What do you want?”

But Grey gritted her teeth.

“I want to find a bigger bug…”

Lu Qingchen continued scratching his head, with a troubled look on his face. “Well, how can I explain it to you? In other words, is there anything weird and unreasonable in your world? For example, the dangerous areas where earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions happen all the time. Or, people will suddenly disappear while they are walking. Or, the two walls will somehow overlap. Or, people will be able to pierce through the walls without being hurt. In short, it is a place that goes against the basic rules of the world. I’m going there.”

The question was rather odd.

Grey and Gus were just teenagers in a small town. Even though their father had gone out to train himself, he had never heard of such a weird place.

“No?”

Seeing that the two of them were shaking their heads at the same time, Lu Qingchen was not disappointed. He mumbled to himself, “You’re right. If it were such an obvious bug, it would’ve been fixed by Xiao Ming or Wen Wen a long time ago. Let me see… Ah, I’ve got it. Miss Grey, what were you doing just now… the experiment to extract the pure power of steam, right? Also, your brother was so scared of the experiment that he called it ‘evil’. Let me make a bold guess. Is the power of steam a taboo in the World of the Fist God?”

It was no secret.

Although they did not know why the devil from the Steam Hell was not clear about such things, they knew that it was not something that could be kept a secret. The two siblings thought for a moment and realized that there should not be any traps. They could not help but hold hands and nod.

“Besides, if my guess is correct, the power of steam should be the biggest, most serious, and most untouchable taboo in the world of the Fist God, right?

Having retrieved the information that he needed from the subtle movements of the two siblings, Lu Qingchen’s smile was even more brilliant and harmless. He asked politely, “Then, do you know where you can find the strongest steam?”
