Chapter 332 Asura King
Although this small world is not as vast as the great world, it would still be impossible for even a master at the Dharma Aspect realm to completely explore it in less than ten days or half a month.
Lin Fei, however, had very little time, only one day. Therefore, he could only wait where he was, hoping that the Star Lord of the Rabbit Sun would bring him good news.
……
Not long after, a streak of light descended from the sky, and the figure of the Sun God reappeared before Lin Fei. Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you found the whereabouts of the Sun God?"
"We found it, but..." Mao Ri Xingjun only said half a sentence before stopping.
"But what?" Lin Fei asked quickly, noticing that the Star Lord of the Rabbit Sun's expression was not very good.
The Star Lord of the Rabbit Sun sighed and said, "Does Your Excellency want to find that old fellow, the Roaming God of the Sun, for the power of the Asura Path's reincarnation origin?"
Lin Fei nodded and said, "That's right, it's precisely for the power of the Asura Path's reincarnation origin."
Mao Ri Xingjun smiled bitterly: "Although I have found the old fellow's location, if I may be so bold, it is probably impossible for you to obtain the power of the Asura Path's reincarnation origin from that old fellow."
Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder, "Why is that?"
As far as Lin Fei knew, the power of reincarnation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation should be in the hands of the ruler of this small world, just as he obtained the power of reincarnation in the Animal Path from the Sun God. The power of reincarnation in the Asura Path should also be in the hands of the Sun God. Therefore, the Sun God's words left Lin Fei somewhat puzzled.
“That old man’s condition isn’t very good right now.” Mao Ri Xingjun shook his head with a wry smile: “My lord, come with me and you’ll see.”
With that, the Sun God led Lin Fei and flew over to the place where the Sun God was.
……
Only after meeting the Sun Wanderer did Lin Fei understand what the Sun Wanderer meant.
This wandering deity didn't seem to be greatly affected by demonic energy; at least, Lin Fei couldn't sense any demonic energy on him. Perhaps, as the Sun Goddess said, this wandering deity had escaped this calamity because his strength was the weakest among the six gods of Houtu.
The Day Wanderer, with his white hair and long beard, looked like a kind old man. However, just as the Day Wanderer had said, this old man's current condition did not look good.
The place where the Day-Roaming God resided was a dilapidated thatched hut. When Lin Fei saw the old man, he was wearing shackles on his hands, and it looked as if he was imprisoned in the thatched hut.
Lin Fei was quite surprised—weren't these six goddesses of Houtu the rulers of a realm sealed by the True Martial Emperor in a minor world? How could they have ended up in such a state?
"What... what exactly is going on?" Lin Fei asked, utterly confused.
"My lord, I've already said it before. This old fellow is the weakest among the six gods of Houtu and is not good at fighting." Mao Ri Xingjun helplessly covered his face: "Speaking of which, he really is a disgrace to the six gods of Houtu back then. Let this old fellow tell you himself!"
Although the Day Wanderer was wearing shackles, his movements were not completely restricted. He walked up to Lin Fei, bowed deeply, and said, "This humble one, the Day Wanderer, greets Your Excellency! I have been waiting for Your Excellency in this Asura Path for tens of thousands of years. Your Excellency has finally arrived!"
Seeing that the old man was somewhat agitated, Lin Fei asked in surprise, "Waiting for me? You knew I would come?"
The Sun God scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "I certainly don't have the ability to foresee the future. My situation is a bit different from Mao Ri's. Back then, when demonic energy disturbed the Six Paths, I was less affected because of my low strength. The others were sealed in the Six Paths of Reincarnation by the True Martial Emperor because they were infected by demonic energy. But I asked the Emperor to seal me in."
Seeing the questioning look in Lin Fei's eyes, the Day Wanderer's expression became even more awkward: "To be honest, sir, with my meager cultivation, if I hadn't asked the True Martial Emperor to seal me within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I would have perished in that calamity long ago. The True Martial Emperor had instructed me to temporarily serve as the master of the Asura Path and to safeguard a treasure for him. When his successor arrives, I will hand over this treasure, and then I will have accomplished my mission."
So this is what happened to the Day Wanderer. When the ancient calamity struck, countless great gods perished. With his cultivation level, the Day Wanderer naturally couldn't have survived that catastrophe. Just then, the Earth Goddess entrusted the True Martial Emperor to deal with the Six Paths of Reincarnation being invaded by demonic energy. This old man shamelessly begged the True Martial Emperor to seal him into the Six Paths of Reincarnation as well, thus escaping the great calamity that claimed the lives of all the gods.
Although this old man wasn't particularly strong, he was incredibly clever. During the ancient calamity, countless renowned ancient gods perished, but this old man, despite his low cultivation level, used this method to escape that catastrophe.
"Then you..." Lin Fei pointed to the shackles on the hands of the Day Wanderer and asked, "How did you, the dignified Lord of the Asura Path, fall to such a state?"
Hearing Lin Fei's question, the old god of the day blushed and coughed, saying, "To be honest, my lord, Emperor Zhenwu appointed me as the master of the Asura Path. At first, things were peaceful. However, the Asura Path is an extremely special existence within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It is innately inhabited by the bloodthirsty and warlike Asura race. Originally, with my cultivation as a human immortal and the divine position I managed to retain, I was able to subdue those warlike Asuras. But later, the demonic energy remaining in the Asura Path merged with those bloodthirsty and warlike Asuras, causing a mutation that made the Asura race even stronger."
The Sun God looked dejected and sighed, "A king has emerged from the Asura clan, known as the 'Asura King.' This person is extremely powerful. I am not good at fighting, and in the end, I was defeated by him. If it weren't for the protection of my divine position, I would probably have died at that guy's hands long ago."
As he spoke, the Day Wanderer stretched out his hand in front of Lin Fei with a sorrowful expression: "As you can see, my lord, not only have I been shackled and imprisoned here by that guy, but even the treasure that the True Martial Emperor entrusted to me to give to you has been snatched away by that Asura King."
"I have failed you, sir! I have failed Emperor Zhenwu!" With that, the old man stamped his feet and beat his chest, bursting into tears in front of Lin Fei.
