The King of Black Fog

Chapter 490: Boarding the Ancient Ship


In the sky above the nameless constant star, where there should have been bright light, a small black spot appeared.

At the center of the black spot stood a Divine Tree emanating a serene brilliance, absorbing all the light and heat within a certain range, as if reversing heaven and earth back into chaos.

Beneath the Divine Tree, the essence flowed like a waterfall. Yang Qinglan quickly replenished the mana consumed by extracting Heavenly Will.

The Divine Tree was crowned by a vast auspicious cloud, grand and magnificent, like a turquoise lake.

She opened her eyes, and the auspicious cloud rapidly shrank, being absorbed into the Mud Palace between her eyebrows.

The Mud Pillar Palace, where its god resides.

Beside her, Li Changzhou was holding the Flesh Heavenly Will, twisting it like a Rubik's cube, occasionally stopping to closely examine it with his eyes emanating divine light.

"What are you doing?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"Researching." Li Changzhou put down the Heavenly Will Ball and turned to look at her face, naturally smiling, "Don't you think it's magical? This is what Heavenly Will is like."

Countless rings of principles intertwined and rotated busily, forming a spherical object.

"Kant proposed a basic philosophical concept..."

"These philosophers seem to know everything, but I don't believe they can even comprehend Heavenly Will."

Yang Qinglan smiled, her black hair falling in front of her chest, sketching a curve with gentle allure.

"The things you learn at school, are they just for exams? Have you never used them in daily life? These learned things are narrow, but we can deduce them for use in many aspects—of course Kant doesn't understand Heavenly Will, but I can understand it from Kant's philosophical perspective."

"Mm, mm, mm, madam has a point." Li Changzhou scratched his ear with his pinky.

"Sit properly!"

Li Changzhou sat cross-legged, maintaining a proper posture.

Yang Qinglan tapped the Ruyi in her hand like wielding a teaching rod.

"[Thing-in-Itself], also known as [Ding an sich], this philosophical concept, simply put, means the world people see and feel is organized by human senses, not the world's true appearance.

"A simple example—color, dogs can't see red, most birds can see four primary colors, while humans can only see three."

"I get what you mean," Li Changzhou lifted the Heavenly Will in his hand, "Heavenly Will isn't actually a sphere, it's just that our perception is limited, and we can only perceive it as a sphere."

"That's one way of saying it. Marxist philosophy criticized [Thing-in-Itself], arguing: through social practice, people can penetrate the phenomena of things to reach their essence, achieving a transformation from [Thing-in-Itself] to [Thing-for-Us], which could be a philosophical explanation for achieving Heavenly Position."

"Hmm, that's quite interesting."

"Interesting?" Yang Qinglan smiled at him, "Alright, after the Value Game ends, why don't you attend philosophy classes with me and see if it's interesting."

"Wouldn't the whole class know we're dating then?"

"My goal is to let the whole school know. During the music festival, we'll wear couple outfits and perform 'Warm Warm.'"

Li Changzhou laughed heartily, pulling the blue-dressed Yang Qinglan into his arms.

Yang Qinglan also leaned into his embrace with a smile.

Li Changzhou whispered in her ear, "If we get the strongest Heavenly Will, and it can reverse time, I'll turn Earth back to the way it was, and we can go back to classes and go on trips on Sundays."

"Classmate Li, on Sundays I have to watch the store."

"Hmm?" Li Changzhou hugged her slender waist more tightly.

He pressed his cheek against hers, their noses almost touching, they both smiled with their lips closed.

Suddenly, the void opened up like an eyelid, splitting apart.

"Brother! There's trouble!" The voice of Li Qianxia came through.

Yang Qinglan's mouth subtly changed, her pursed lips turning into silent acknowledgment, not only losing her smile but also giving the crack a side-eye.

Li Changzhou found her cosmically adorable!

The Primordial Divine Tree swayed, transforming into a stream of light returning to Li Changzhou's body. The two disappeared from the spot.

Standing on a planet, they saw a massive ancient ship, and couldn't help but be stunned, followed by the confrontation between two groups across the vast galaxy.

Soon after, a series of system prompts followed.

"What's happening?" Li Changzhou asked the Turquoise Pool.

"These people are telling us to scram," Li Qianxia hurriedly said, "or they'll merge the Heavenly Will and kill us!"

"Such temper." Li Changzhou laughed, then tossed the Heavenly Will to the Witch, "Watch that person, if he merges, you merge too."

The Witch gazed at the Flesh Heavenly Will in her hand.

Comet Level, the lowest level of Heavenly Will. She had already prepared herself, but Yang Qinglan's words gave her hope, maybe there was still hope to merge with a decent Heavenly Will.

But now...

She took a deep breath.

"Yes!"

The Witch held the Heavenly Will aloft and soared into the sky, reaching the forefront.

She hadn't said anything yet, when the opponent saw the blood-colored sphere in her hand, their expression changed.

The Witch glanced at the opponent, and the mind reading skill made it "crystal clear" to her.

"Comet Level Heavenly Will, unwilling to merge unless absolutely necessary," she revealed the opponent's inner thoughts.

"So what?" The opponent regained composure, sneered, "You haven't merged Heavenly Will either, your situation is similar to mine, right?"

"It's different." Witch Yueji shook her head gently, "I act under orders, whereas you and your teammates are in an alliance. His Majesty's order to me is—if you merge, I merge."

"My fellow cultivator," an elder stepped forward and said, "how about each taking a step back? This ancient ship is vast, everyone can search based on their abilities. If we delay further, more players might discover this place."

'I want to kill that useless elder.' Suddenly, Turquoise Pool's voice transmitted to Li Changzhou.

'His proposal isn't unreasonable.' Li Changzhou was puzzled.

'Is it his turn to make decisions here?'
