Chapter 367 The Mystery of the Sun God

"Failed……"

Zhao Si, who had read the entire content of Lin Liu's trip, could not help but frown:
"The origin of the sun is not a naturally occurring energy source, but a sun god... This is too much!"

In the ancient times, although Di Jun and his people claimed to be the sun, in fact, they were just innate gods born from the origin of the sun. The essence of the ancient sun was actually a lump of matter.

Even if the ancient sun was originally Pangu's eye, it does not affect its material properties.

But in Lin Liu’s dream world, the sun is actually a living being composed of divine power!
"Then, Lin Liu's plan to climb the technology ladder will fail..."

Although in theory Lin Liu could also use the Blood God Son to control the Sun God, allowing the Sun God to continuously provide energy to mortals, this obviously went against Lin Liu's "mortal autonomy route."

Furthermore, the reason why Lin Liu always wanted to make mortals independent was that he wanted to explore the key information for perfect clearance in this process.

What was discovered during this trip only proved that all Lin Liu's efforts were in vain, and there was no perfect way to pass this road.

However, the system keeps saying that there is a way to pass the level...

"No, it's up to you..."

Zhao Si sighed and clicked to continue the game.

【Look at me? 】

[That’s obviously overthinking…]

[After returning to Xizhou, you helplessly conveyed this news to everyone: All my efforts were in vain! ]

[After these words were spoken, those who had originally held out hope for you could only be disappointed. ]

[Reluctantly, everyone had to limit the use of steam engines while trying their best to plant trees... Of course, what needs to be developed must be developed. Since the local trees in Xizhou are not enough for charcoal burning, we can ask for more from Dongzhou and Beizhou! ]

[What? You said these two continents also need to be developed? ]

[Sorry, I'll just have to bear the brunt of their suffering first, and let everyone share the blame...]

[While Xizhou was cutting down and transporting charcoal from the other two continents, some caravans also set their sights on the pure land of Nanshanbuzhou. They took advantage of the fact that Shun Dynasty had not yet started the industrial revolution and brought a large amount of charcoal back to Xizhou for use.]

[However, these operations have always been a temporary solution, not a permanent one. Even though they have tried their best, the slowdown in industrial development is obvious...]

[You took in all the various aspects of this world, but in the end you still felt unwilling: Are you really going to be stuck like this for eternity? ]

[Ding! You, unwilling to give up, once again place your hopes on "your other self". Even though the last strategy didn't actually work, you still try to save the situation... Your choice: (?) Please answer freely! ]

Try to save a dying horse as a living one…

The corners of Zhao Si's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. After all, Lin Liu was really at the end of his rope. He had no other choice but to force himself to ask the answer.

"But I really can't come up with any reliable strategies..."

Zhao Si sighed helplessly:
"Instead of asking me forcefully, you might as well go find Bodhi Patriarch and Monkey... These two natives with cheating skills must know more than me. It wouldn't be bad for you to try your luck with them. What if Monkey really changes his fate and cultivates the Tao?"

Although the system had long ago rated the monkey's success rate as zero, so that this strategy seemed a bit of a shirking of responsibility, the logic was indeed that...

[Ding! Facing your desperate attempt to find a cure, you choose: (Go to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to find the monkey and Bodhi Patriarch. These two people must be important clues!)]

[The plan from "another self" flows through your mind again...]

[“Looking for monkeys, looking for Bodhi…”]

[You can't help but look bitter: If these two really had a solution, they wouldn't be stuck on a completely hopeless cultivation. ]

[It is precisely because they are just as helpless as you that you are trying so hard to find a way to cultivate the truth. But now your "other self" is asking you to go find them...]["...Whatever."]

[You sighed: Just think of it as a visit to an old friend to reminisce about the past... As for the solution to the problem... don't take it too seriously. ]

[So you made up your mind to disappear into the light alone...]

【…】

【"benefactor!"】

[Your visit made the monkey very happy, and he came to greet you personally, scratching his head and ears. After all, it was more than 70 years ago that we last saw each other. Now that he saw his benefactor again, the excited monkey just wanted to shout "Thank you!"]

[After more than seventy years, when you see the monkey again, you are also full of emotion: "It has been more than seventy years since we last met. I wonder how your cultivation method is going?"]

【"this……"】

[The monkey said helplessly: "Let my benefactor know that even today, although I have practiced the magic method of cultivation well, I still have no idea how to become an anchor like you..."]

[“Now, I am just fasting. Coupled with the magical effect of the magic method, I no longer have a body in front of outsiders...Except for you as the real anchor, other people can't see me at all. It's so boring..."]

[The monkey's complaints are always straightforward. After listening to its answer, you can only feel disappointed: Just as you thought, neither Bodhi Patriarch nor the monkey has made any qualitative breakthroughs in cultivation. There is still no way to solve your problem...]

[Seeing that you looked different, the monkey asked curiously, and you didn't hide anything. You directly told it about your discovery on the sun and explained how much impact it had on your "mortal autonomy" plan.]

[The monkey was naturally surprised by this. Since its birth, it had never traveled to other places in the world to satisfy its curiosity and experience. It seemed as if the only place in the world that really existed was "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain"...]

[Seeing the monkey's face full of curiosity, you gradually stopped complaining about your experience and began to tell the story seriously... From having hope for solar energy to your worldview collapsing when you saw the three-legged golden crow with your own eyes.]

[The monkey was stunned by your story. It was the first time in its life that it knew there were so many wonderful things in the outside world. As it listened, it couldn't help but imagine itself leaving "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain" and going to the Zhoutian Group of Stars to enjoy its sights...]

[One speaks seriously, the other listens attentively. Even though they have had no contact for more than seventy years, the scene can be described as harmonious when the man and the monkey come together.]

[While waiting for you to speak, the monkey is still intoxicated and immersed in the things in the outside world that you describe...]

[After a long while, the monkey, still unsatisfied, sighed with emotion, and then turned around and walked towards "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain".]

[Its behavior made you feel a little strange, but you soon realized that it was actively helping you pass on the message. If Patriarch Bodhi really has the information you want, then your trip will not be in vain!]

[You can't help but feel a little bit of anticipation: Could it be...?]

[Soon after, the monkey came out again.]

[But its face doesn't have the excitement you expect, but it doesn't have the disappointment, either. Instead, it has... suspicion! ]

【You are startled: "What's wrong?"】

【"this……"】

[The monkey hesitated for a moment before saying, "The master said... He never set a specific appearance for the Sun God..."]

[“The Sun God is neither the Golden Crow, nor the Golden Dragon, nor the eyeball... He is not even a god of incense. After all, true gods have a fixed destiny..."]

[“Did you see it wrongly?”]

[You were stunned for a moment...]
