[Introduction: In ancient times, gods stood tall, and faith flourished. The great divine spirits capable of capturing the sun and the moon ignited the initial flame of civilization for the human race of this world. However, after tens of thousands of years of changes, the oldest divine spirits have passed into silence, leaving only the perpetual incense of faith.]

Shocked!
Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but marvel at the dungeon introduction.
But... finally, he was beginning to participate in a top-tier dungeon, which wasn’t bad at all.
A familiar white light flashed by.
When Lu Wenwu came back to his senses, both feet were steadily planted on the ground.
He looked around, the surroundings seemed to be a wilderness of mountains and hills.
He slightly felt the environment here.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Power was relatively thin, unlike a flourishing era of cultivation.
"Oh dear, where on earth am I? Is this still the home country?" Lu Wenwu expressed a puzzled thought similar to Hai Zhu’s.
Mao Mao appeared in a flash of light, circling around his owner several times, with his nose twitching.
"Master, there’s a human presence."
As Mao Mao spoke, he conjured a small arrow with flames in the air, pointing the way.
Lu Wenwu immediately extended his spiritual power.
It stretched about less than two kilometers, where he saw a group of hikers burdened with large and small bags, trudging towards the direction where he and Mao Mao stood.
Three men and two women, all ordinary people, seemingly backpackers.
From their attire and the tools in use, it seemed to still be a world with modern technology, but the level of technology wasn’t as advanced as that of Blue Star—one person was particularly frustrated and upset due to the lack of phone signal.
Lu Wenwu continued to spread his spiritual power, covering an increasing area.
His spawn point this time was on a mountain, and the current location was precisely on a gentle slope at the mountainside.
Climbing a few kilometers towards the mountain peak, there was a dilapidated temple that looked abandoned for a long time, but it also carried slight spiritual fluctuations.
There it was emitting a unique energy fluctuation peculiar to extraordinary items.
Although very faint, it certainly existed.
Moreover, this thing also continuously emitted a wave of interference similar to a mental suggestion, forming a predicament or even an illusion akin to a ghost wall, interfering with ordinary life forms within a certain range.
Confirmed, these people were hikers here to climb the mountain, with their destination likely being this ruined temple.
Hmm... it could also just be a pure ambition to climb to the summit, that remains unknown, anyway, it’s speculation.
Lu Wenwu thought to himself that the fact he was now dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, holding nothing, appearing like a gym-goer here seemed quite inappropriate.
With a thought, his attire metamorphosed into a gray Daoist robe.
However, even the spacious Daoist robe couldn’t fully cover the powerful muscles and extraordinarily robust physique beneath. Lu Wenwu managed to wear the Daoist robe as if it were a military officer’s garb.
He sat cross-legged, took out a grill, and started preparing an egg-filled pancake.
He decided to wait here, solve his lunch, and pretended to bump into these hikers to gather some basic information about this world before making plans.
A harmonious modern society and faith...
However you looked at it, it somehow seemed a bit incompatible.
If the system had a spirit, seeing this scene, it would probably feel quite relieved.
The veteran’s journey, having passed through so many worlds, in this accursed world, the brute finally decides not to solve problems with his fists!
...
Exhausted bodies, weary hearts.
Despair was gradually spreading among this hiking and mountaineering team formed by several friends.
The sheer confidence they had before setting off had long been worn away, the youthful exuberance disappeared entirely after circling this mountain gorge for three whole days.
They had already run out of supplies by early yesterday morning.
Lost in the mountains for a whole seven days.
They seemed to have encountered the legendary ghost wall, getting completely disoriented in these vast mountains and forests.
The compass spun relentlessly, having long lost its function.
No phone signal, even the satellite phone couldn’t connect to the outside world.
If there weren’t any fierce beasts and birds of prey here, these five reckless university students might have already met their end in this desolate mountain range.
As the only experienced leader among the five, Gu Taixing felt a bit despondent, too.
Although he maintained a calm expression and determined eyes, it could not entirely hide a certain degree.
He should never have agreed to his friends’ request to lead them, these inexperienced novices, to such an undeveloped wilderness for climbing.
He should never have, due to curiosity, agreed to these guys’ ideas to look for some legendary temple to seek mythical immortal fate.
Divinity transformation, immortality, carefree through the heavens?
Mentioning myths and legends was slightly exaggerated, but the distance was indeed too far for these ordinary people without any immortal fate.
Those truly having an immortal fate were predestined from birth, taken away by various sects to begin cultivation during their childhood.
