Free Web NovelChapter 2317: Chapter 1319: Missing Karma
The Golden Cicada Supreme God did feel some appreciation, but that was only from a technical point of view.
From the standpoint of survival, the stronger the Human Race got, the worse it was for the Insect Race.
So faced with this kind of provocation, it swept back directly, and then froze for a moment: just this bunch of weaklings?
To be honest, it really rarely took part in this kind of battlefield scene. When it was young, it often did, but in the end it realized... either you lose or I lose, what’s the point of that.
On the path of Incense Fire Ascension, war is a very important setting, but war is definitely not the only scene. For example, when a few Ancestral Gods start competing, someone has to mediate, right?
And as a Supreme God, is it not supposed to cultivate anymore? That’s not the case. In the Insect World there’s even the concept of "Supreme God," and above the Supreme God there is the so‑called "Above-God" in legends... of course, that pursuit is kind of bullshit.
Anyway, it was not very interested in this kind of scene, but... it was already here.
So it followed Feng Jun’s Divine Sense and swept over, only to find a dozen or so weaklings.
And these were Divine Sense weapons of the Human Race! The Golden Cicada Supreme God’s attention was not on these few at all. Even though it was only a wisp of Divine Sense, if it let loose it could easily crush these people, but... why bother?
It had already memorized that strand of Divine Sense’s characteristics—in this plane’s terms, it had memorized the brainwave signature code.
Then all of a sudden, that strand of Divine Sense vanished, leaving it feeling like it had just punched into a ball of cotton.
Right after, a sense of emptiness and loss rose in its heart, which scared it badly on the spot, because it knew very clearly what this was—causality had gone missing!
Had causality gone missing? Of course it had; Feng Jun had taken away quite a lot of causality.
Even Feng Jun himself didn’t know how big the causality he got caught in was. At first the causality wasn’t that heavy, but because his Divine Sense did a scan and happened to bump right into the descending Insect Race Divine Sense, as the only connected suspect, his causality was instantly magnified countless times.
The Golden Cicada Supreme God could not only reincarnate, it also had considerable deduction ability. In fact, cultivators on the Incense Fire Ascension path could all more or less use incense fire to run some deductions. The Insect Race’s IQ was low, but Emergence Stage Insects still knew a bit of this stuff.
Golden Cicada’s IQ was among the top in the Insect Race, and even among the Supreme Gods its deduction ability was firmly ranked first.
It backtracked the causality and saw the mantis getting ambushed while rescuing the hornet, but anything related to the ambusher, it couldn’t backtrack at all. After that it was just a foggy blur—nothing could be seen.
Including how the Blade Mantis nanny disappeared, it didn’t know a thing.
Had the Human Race developed some new weapon again? The Golden Cicada Supreme God had a pretty good grasp of the Human Race’s IQ.
It had no intention of getting tangled up in what this new weapon was. It was originally only a wisp of Divine Sense descending and couldn’t do much. Those weapons that could Insta-kill two Insect Race Nascent Souls might also be able to hurt this wisp of Divine Sense.
Besides, this battlefield wasn’t under its jurisdiction, and among the Insect Race tribes currently in the fight, the highest cultivation level was only Nascent Soul Stage—there wasn’t even an Emergence Stage. So why should a Supreme God above Emergence Stage like it worry its ass off—if you guys don’t care, I care even less.
However, its backtracking and deduction did reveal something after all: it actually guessed the three words the mantis Nascent Soul was about to shout but didn’t—"there’s an ambush"!
Those three words gave the Golden Cicada Supreme God a jolt inside, making it even more reluctant to act rashly.
So it simply made Feng Jun’s brainwave frequency public. "Supreme Golden Cicada Divine Edict: a despicable sneak attack has occurred on the battlefield. The Human with this Divine Sense signature is a major suspect. All clansmen take note: do not underestimate; join forces to kill on sight!"
Those who could sense its divine edict were actually just the Insect Race Nascent Souls on this planet. But the Insect Race’s organization was a tree structure, and they walked the Incense Fire Ascension path. Once the Nascent Souls knew, it wouldn’t be long before those in Qi Refinement Realm knew as well.
The Golden Cicada Supreme God’s divine edicts could in fact trigger omens, but since this was issued by a mere wisp of Divine Sense and it didn’t want to alarm the Human Race on the main star, only the Nascent Souls on the main star received it.
Yi Jue and the others two hundred li away also sensed it. Ren Tu True Sage snorted coldly, "Just a measly wisp of Divine Sense, and it’s already this high‑profile."
For safety’s sake, Yi Jue didn’t dare to release her Divine Sense—just a single Insect Race nanny could vaguely sense her Divine Sense, which made her really not dare to take it lightly. But she still couldn’t help asking aloud, "Where’s Feng Jun?"
Ren Tu True Sage replied calmly, "He’s of course safe... he’s withdrawn."
Elder Kumu couldn’t help but ask respectfully, "Ren Tu True Sage, can you keep this wisp of Divine Sense here?"
"Of course I can. Even if its true body came, I could still handle it," Ren Tu True Sage answered proudly. He really wasn’t bragging; based on the details of the Divine Sense’s form, he had already roughly judged this Insect Race deity’s strength—he was seventy percent sure he could win in a fight.
But while winning was easy, killing the other side would be much harder, with a probability of no more than ten percent.
So he added, "Wiping out this wisp of Divine Sense is easy... I could even leash it, but that’s meaningless and instead likely to expose us. Are you sure you need me to do that?"
Elder Kumu hesitated for a moment; he really didn’t dare make that kind of suggestion. "I’m actually just a bit worried about Feng Jun."
"That Insect God is a coward," Ren Tu had more or less guessed the Supreme Golden Cicada Divine Edict’s intent. People with similar status understood each other more easily. "It might look down on this kind of situation, but if it really had the strength and confidence, there’s no way it wouldn’t make a move."
Yi Jue nodded slightly. "Feng Jun... should be fine, right?"
Feng Jun was of course fine. He had directly retreated to the Earth Plane. Since his starting point was in the Sahara, naturally he came back here as well—he was worried he might have stirred up trouble in the Insect World, so once he retreated back, it was still better to choose some desolate place with no one around.
After coming back, he looked around and saw nothing unusual, then pulled out his Mobile Phone and opened "Footprints." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
In the instant he tapped "Luohua," what popped into his head was: Next time in the Insect World, I absolutely have to remember to turn off hotspot.
When he arrived at Luohua, it was nighttime, so he didn’t attract any reaction, but the Guardian’s Divine Sense did come over. "Back already? You’re planning to stay for a while this time, aren’t you?"
"That’s right," Feng Jun nodded. "I plan to stay a bit longer. Senior, you guessed it?"
"That stench of karma on you is making me want to puke, it reeks," the Guardian replied mercilessly. "In the middle of the night with nothing to do, want to come chat for a bit?"
"Okay," Feng Jun nodded, then put his hands together. "I’ll have to trouble you again, Senior." frёewebnoѵēl.com
The next moment, he was back in that shabby little courtyard illusion, and the Guardian took the initiative to say, "In your Storage Talisman, there’s a strange mantis. You got it from another world, didn’t you?"
Feng Jun wasn’t surprised at its formidable Divine Skills; instead he proactively took out the mantis—that was the one he had killed in Zuo Jing using Weimian’s Force. "This one’s only at Emergence Stage, I was planning to give it to my relatives and friends to eat. I’ve also got a Flying Centipede here, Nascent Soul Stage..."
He then took out the Flying Centipede, also killed with Weimian’s Force. "If you want one, Senior, this one is more suitable."
He had plenty of good stuff on him now; enough for himself and enough for the people around him. But this kind of delicacy from the Insect World was still relatively scarce. Giving away an Insect Race Nascent Soul and keeping an Emergence Stage insect for his own circle, he really didn’t care.
My bus can carry forty-something True Immortals, you think I’d be short one bite of Insect Race Nascent Soul?
The serious part was that the Guardian had helped him a lot; giving the other party some good stuff was something he truly did willingly.
"A mere Nascent Soul, you think I care about that little snack?" the Guardian said with great disdain; its eye for quality was even higher than the Big Boss’s. "A Flying Centipede really isn’t much. What I want to talk about is this mantis you brought back."
Feng Jun cupped his hands and spoke respectfully. "Please enlighten me, Senior."
"Enlighten you I must," the Guardian said bluntly, then asked, "Are there Flying Centipedes on Earth?"
"There are centipedes, but none with wings," Feng Jun answered, then froze. After two or three seconds he asked thoughtfully, "But there really are mantises... is that the reason?"
The Guardian snorted, speaking in a cryptic, profound tone. "As long as you know."
But I don’t know a damn thing. Feng Jun felt especially aggrieved. The Earth Realm does have mantises, but it doesn’t have mantises over ten feet tall!
However, the Guardian didn’t continue that topic and instead asked, "These thick karma threads on you... from the Insect World?"
"They should be," Feng Jun nodded. "I seem to have offended some big shot over there. But Weimian’s Force... can’t it erase karma threads?"
"Karma Curses and the like, the final result can be erased—just like that Domain Curse last time," the Guardian, who knew everything, explained in detail. "It was ultimately going to produce a result on you, but it itself wasn’t strong enough, so it was wiped out by Weimian’s Force."
Feng Jun nodded; he understood this very well. What wanted to Curse him—or what he got implicated by—was just a Domain’s little grudge, still inferior to a whole Plane.
"But karma threads aren’t a result, they’re just records," the Guardian said leisurely. "Unless you stay away from that region for a long time, the karma threads can only slowly weaken... even with the Earth Realm’s strong Weimian’s Force, it’s very hard to erase them completely."
Feng Jun nodded in sudden realization. "So Senior believes I’ll be staying on Earth for a long time?"
"I think you ought to have that self-awareness," the Guardian said without hesitation. "If you can’t even understand this much, I’ll start doubting your cultivation IQ... your intelligence when it comes to Cultivation."
Cultivation IQ, huh... Feng Jun nodded firmly. "I don’t understand, but I’ve guessed a bit."
In fact, his desire to lie low on Earth was purely because he wanted to avenge those Human Race soldiers—by now they should have been minced meat, right?
But he was unwilling to admit this, because he felt that kind of Holy Mother mindset was a very shameful thing—I’m just a supporter of Gongyang’s grand revenge-ism, that’s all.
Then the Guardian casually added, "But when it comes to modifying karma threads... that’s not a problem for me at all."
