Chapter 609: Tian Shu’s Secret (3)

The situation would be at a stalemate.

“Tian Shu, my first question is, why did you choose to imprison yourself in this underground cage?”

At this moment, Tian Shu let down his guard. In the face of this question, a hint of struggle appeared in his eyes.

“I had to.”

“Specifically, what I want is not an answer, but the process and details. Any information you provide me might help me find a chance of survival for human civilization.”

“What do you mean?”

“As I mentioned earlier, I have the ability to transmigrate to the future, allowing me to discern which events or historical junctures have led to the decline of human civilization. By altering these pivotal moments, I believe I can salvage the future of human civilization. Hence, I am in urgent need of more information.”

“I understand.”

Hearing this, Tian Shu’s expression was complicated. He was both excited and in disbelief.

After waiting for a long time, he continued.

“I opted to imprison myself because the power I acquired is uncontrollable. I frequently enter a frenzied state, losing my sanity, and in this state, I attack everything nearby indiscriminately. It poses a severe threat to humans. If I’m not restrained while still conscious, the human armed forces won’t be sufficient to contain me once I lose control.”

Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately thought of Mu Qing.

The same thing happened to Mu Qing.

However, the difference was that Mu Qing’s emotions were relatively controllable, and she would consciously restrain them, especially when there were other humans around her. She would restrain her loss of control.

From a historical point of view, Mu Qing’s state did not always exist.

It would gradually disappear with her fusion with the scarlet rune crystal and eventually disappear.

This was also mentioned in the diary left behind by Mu Qing.

From this point of view, it was obvious that Tian Shu’s situation was more dangerous. It was understandable that he chose to imprison himself.

At that time, human cultivation was still in the early stages of development. They could not fight against a powerhouse like Tian Shu. If he lost control, it would be a disaster.

All of this was considered from the perspective of human development.

However, he still had many doubts in his heart. Thinking of this, he continued to ask.

“Why did you lose control? Is it because there’s a problem with the power Mu Yao gave you?”

“It has nothing to do with the old woman. Everything was a result of my reckless attempts. The old woman gave me a long lifespan and divine patterns. These powers are completely within my control.”

“Divine patterns?”

Tian Shu slowly turned around and revealed his back.

A golden pattern that snaked up to his neck was tattooed on the center of his back.

These patterns were magical. They seemed to have a life of their own as they twisted and changed with Tian Shu’s breathing. Sometimes, they looked like ferocious beasts, and sometimes, they looked like birds.

Turning around again, Tian Shu said in a deep voice.

“This is the divine pattern. It allows me to cultivate any cultivation technique dozens of times faster than ordinary people. It can also help me simulate the innate power of any domain creature.”

“For example, as long as I taste the blood of the Blood Soul Tiger, my divine patterns will automatically analyze the mysteries within, allowing my body to undergo some changes and obtain the strength and ability traits of the Blood Soul Tiger!”

As he spoke, Tian Shu slowly raised his right arm.

His right arm kept growing fur, and his nails became sharp. In the end, they turned into a huge tiger palm.

“Divine patterns allow me to adapt to any harsh conditions and fight. There are no environmental disadvantages. As long as I keep adapting to the power of other species, I can master a large number of practical abilities.”

“Wow, that’s powerful!” Feng Qi couldn’t help but exclaim.

Compared to his ability to plunder talents in the main timeline, Tian Shu’s ability was still far inferior.

However, from the perspective of ordinary cultivators, such an ability could be said to be heaven-defying.

“Since there’s nothing wrong with the ability Mu Yao gave you, why did you lose control and go crazy? What’s with the random experiment you mentioned?”

Tian Shu looked like he was reminiscing.

After a short recollection, he slowly said.

“My divine patterns are not without limits. The old woman has reminded me many times about this, but to pursue stronger power, I want to fuse a drop of the Pillar Gods’ blood to pry into the power of the God realm.”

“It was also this attempt that made me completely obsessed.”

“Tell me in detail. Try to be as specific as possible.”

Tian Shu immediately nodded and recounted his experience.

“I’ve been by the old woman’s side since I was young. She watched me grow up. In the days I’ve been with her, I’ve learned a lot.”

“She’s an infectious person. On the surface, she may appear heartless and carefree, but deep within, she harbors an unyielding determination that remains steadfast even if mountains crumble and seas part.”

“She taught me courage, sacrifice, and calmness in the face of despair. She could be considered my mentor in life. During that period, the old woman brought me around the world. From time to time, she would abandon me in a city and let me rely on myself for a while before disappearing.”

“It could be a few days or a few months. The longest time was two years. That time, I almost thought that I had been forgotten by the old woman.”

“My fate took a second turn when I was 16.”

“At the time, the old woman told me that I could hold my own and was prepared to take me to a brand-new place. But she also said that if I went there, I might never come back.”

“At the time, I was very puzzled and asked if I would never see her again.”

“She simply smiled and mentioned that there might be a chance for us to meet again, but we also might never cross paths once more.”

“I inquired whether that place held significance and if I needed to go there.”

“She told me that that place is humanity’s first line of defense. It’s vital to the entire human civilization, and I already have the strength to protect it. It’s time for me to take responsibility.”

“But the old woman didn’t force me. She only said that if I weren’t willing, she had to leave and couldn’t keep me by her side anymore.”

“At that time, I struggled for a long time, but I understood that the old woman had more important things to do. She seemed to be plotting the future of humanity. Even if I could follow her, I would only be a burden. Therefore, I finally agreed to the old woman’s decision and headed for the mysterious first line of defense.”

“By the way, do you know the Path to Heaven?” Tian Shu suddenly asked.

When he heard Tian Shu mention the human defense line, the first thing he thought of was the Path to Heaven.

When he heard Tian Shu say the words “Path to Heaven”, he knew that his guess was right. He immediately asked.

“The first line of defense you’re talking about is the Path to Heaven?”

“That’s where I came from!” Tian Shu nodded without hesitation..
