Dark Blood Age Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Choosing A Path

Whether it was going to be the rise of dark warriors like Ding Yan said or “the right path” like Zhu Llingdie said, those were not what Chu Yunsheng wanted eventually. He just wanted to survive and live better.

Ding Yan wanted him to create a new order, but Zhu Lingdie wanted him to join her to resume the old order.

There were insects outside the city, aliens inside the city. It seemed like nowhere in Jin Ling city was peaceful now.

He couldn’t sleep that night. While staring at the endless dark sky, he suddenly felt very tired; maybe the dead people were much happier.

But people were reluctant to die, he was also the same.

If Ding Yan had the ancient book, Chu Yunsheng believed that he would definitely be able to rule the city and create a new order. If Zhu Lingdie had the ancient book, Chu Yunsheng believed that she would definitely be able to resume the old order.

Chu Yunsheng knew his limit.

During the age of light, he was just an ordinary office worker, if it hadn’t been for the book, he’d probably have been dead already.

But Ding Yan and Zhu Lingdie were from the upper cla.s.s. They were nothing like him.

He might look stronger than others, but inside his mind, he was still an ordinary man. Ding Yan and Zhu Lingdie had their own plans, but it seemed like he just tried to survive day by day.

This was also the reason why they had two different approaches. Ding Yan wanted to wait for the fight between the woman in the white dress and the cloaked man to break out so he could take advantage of it, but Zhu Lingdie wanted to use the woman in the white dress to resume their orders.

However, Chu Yunsheng himself was moaning internally that there wasn’t a peaceful day.

He had thought about it; he had thought about why he would feel annoyed by those things. In the end, he gave himself an explanation that it was because he did not have any ambitions.

Living like a normal person was not an ambition, reaching Yuan Tian stage three was not an ambition, they were more like the short-term objectives he was forced to set by the current situation.

But what was his ambition really? Chu Yunsheng felt that finding his ambition was as difficult as writing an essay.

It is said that one’s personality decides one’s fate, and the way of one’s thinking leads one’s path. He could not change his characters and become like Ding Yan or Zhu Lingdie. He could only try to find an ambition that was suitable to both himself and this world.

After he thought about what he wanted to do the most in his mind, he felt like apart from hoping that his family would live peacefully for the rest of their lives, he didn’t want to do any other things. When he was young, he wanted to become an adventurer, and now he was just curious about this new world and the secrets behind the book. However, he couldn’t leave his family. Maybe when Jin Ling city became a safe place one day and after his family settled down, he would set off his adventure to discover the secret of this world.

Then he let out a long sigh, and took out the ancient book.

Since the monolith flew away, he has tried to find out the secret of the monolith in the ancient book.

After lecturer Tang and other professors worked non-stop days and nights, he could finally, but still only barely understood a few paragraphs.

With the strange experiences he had in the past few days, he opened the book and started to read the book once again.

The information inside those few paragraphs was about the senior pract.i.tioner. He was heavily injured after he had a fight with the enemy that had been chasing him. While he was injured, he accidentally discovered a human tribe wors.h.i.+pping a black monolith.

Based on the information on the book, it seemed like the monolith mentioned in the book was not as big as the one Chu Yunsheng saw. The senior pract.i.tioner used the symbols that represented “surprised” and “shocked” several times to express his feeling at that time.

According to the description, the human tribe around the monolith was much smarter than the other human tribes in further regions, and the weapons they used were much more advanced than others.

The senior pract.i.tioner described that although he had traveled countless galaxies, he still could not understand that monolith. All he knew was that the monolith might have some connections with the myth that happened hundreds of millions of years ago.

Because of this myth, Earth became a battlefield countless times. However, never once had the victors of the battle discovered the secret behind the myth.

As Chu Yunsheng read here, he suddenly thought about the extinction of the dinosaur. Was it also because of the myth? Or maybe the dinosaurs were not from Earth at all.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts. It seemed like his thought had been carried away. Then he carried on reading.

At the very beginning, the people who came to Earth were either very famous overlords of galaxies or the leaders of super-advanced civilizations. Because of the battle, a lot of those overlords and leaders had fallen. Then the things they left behind became the late comer’s treasures, hence causing more wars and conflicts repeatedly countless times… This cycle repeated for a very long time until the myth had almost been almost completely forgotten!

Hadn’t the senior pract.i.tioner lived for a very long time, probably he also wouldn’t have known about how this kind thing was started.

Then Chu Yunsheng thought about the stuff that the cloaked man and the woman in the white dress were looking for.

Were they here for the treasures that were left by those overlords?

However, there was no evidence to support his a.s.sumption, and the book also did not mention what kind of treasures they had left behind, so he carried on reading.

However, the next paragraph was not completed deciphered, all he could understand was:

“… the sudden and strange communication with the Monolith…”

“… Hundreds of millions of years ago… Legendary and invincible seven sects… Qi Shǐzǔ… A rare race…”

“… Eliminated by a ‘group’ called ‘the great devil’ in one night…”

The senior pract.i.tioner did not seem to be interested in the things that had been left behind by the galaxies overlords and the leaders of super-advanced civilizations, it seemed like he was only interested in the Monolith.

It was a shame that he was running out of his time, and he could not study the Monolith.

Chu Yunsheng did not understand a lot of things. He had to guess what they meant based on the context. He could feel that the senior pract.i.tioner was worried about the great devil, the symbols like “quick””take out the treasure!””eliminated the monsters””go to my world” repeated several times.

Sighing again, he still had no idea what he wanted to do even after reading the ancient book. If the senior pract.i.tioner were still alive, he would’ve probably been very disappointed.

However, he still would not choose Ding Yan’s path, he also would not choose Zhu Lingdie’s path, because he knew for sure that those were not something he wanted. It might take a long time to find his own path, but he was willing to wait.

At the moment, he had to find the senior pract.i.tioner’s treasure first.

It meant that he had to finish gathering the maps. Since the second map was found, he vaguely felt that the book was pointing to the north-west. He did not know where it was exactly, and he also could not leave his auntie behind to find it, so he had to eliminate all the threats first. The food problem, two alien’s problem, and creating a city that was safe for them to live in.

According to Zhu Lingdie’s information, the cloaked man and the woman in the white dress were equally powerful, so he had a rough idea of how powerful they were.

If he wanted to kill them, only having level-three talismans was not enough. He had to reach the peak of Yuan Tian stage two as soon as possible.

Moreover, he also needed to go to the GRD to ask professor Sun what the anti-world was exactly. The ancient book did not seem to have any description of it.

The hazy s.h.i.+mmer slowly appeared in the sky as if it was challenging the endless darkness.

“Maybe, helping Ding Yan and Yao Xiang to take control of the city is not a bad idea.” Gazing at the glimmer of light in the sky, he murmured.
