Chapter 635: 635
The messy God Clock journey ended under Lu Sheng’s complete control .
Zhou Quanwu was captured . The other mortals, her father included, were collectively put under psychological guidance and became great helpers to Lu Sheng in controlling the situation .
Other than a few Geshas who died in the beginning, the others were forcibly controlled by Lu Sheng .
Even those with strong willpower were forcibly put under psychological guidance after Lu Sheng clobbered them up and they partially lost consciousness .
It was almost too easy for Lu Sheng to control Geshas, who had weak spirits but formidable combat powers .
After the situation was stabilized, Lu Sheng brought Du Xia and Du Qiu home so that they could be reunited with their parents . His father, Du Xuning, and the others were safe . Perhaps the other Geshas thought that they would be able to deal with Du Xia smoothly; hence, they did not make any extra movements .
That saved Lu Sheng quite a lot of trouble .
On the other hand, he stationed some men to guard the God Clock while he returned to the plains silently .
The cold wind was like a blade as it blew through his hair, making it dance wildly .
Lu Sheng stood calmly before the God Clock . He gently touched the surface of the extremely huge rocky surface .
“Have you brought all the men I’ve had you prepare?” he asked softly .
“I’ve brought them all!”
Behind Lu Sheng, an angry-looking Zhou Quanwu wielded a long sword . She wore a beige-colored singlet which exposed her muscle-knotted arms . Root-like veins popped and filled her bronze-colored skin .
The Imperial Phoenix stood at Zhou Quanwu’s left side . Star Sand’s leader, the Left Star King, stood on her right . The two of them had shaved their heads bald . They wore white trousers and singlets with a huge character “Fist” sewn onto them .
The Imperial Phoenix licked his lips . Then, he waved a head and shouted, “Bring them all up!”
Soon enough, a mini truck drove up from behind .
A dozen individuals were bound on the back of the truck . They were young people under 16 years of age . Most of these young people looked fierce and menacing . There was an occasional ordinary student, but his eyes were also filled with a sense of brutality .
The Imperial Phoenix stepped forward, and explained, “These are the kids who committed murder in the federation in recent years . They were all that we can capture . ”
Before this, he was ready to fight to the death against Lu Sheng . Currently, under the correct psychological guidance, he became the most loyal lackey of Lu Sheng .
“Mm-hm . ” Lu Sheng nodded slowly . He swept his gaze across these people .
“There are no mistakes, right?”
“It’s impossible . These children here have either robbed, murdered, raped, dealt drugs, or kidnapped young girls . Some even worked as hitmen . There are all sorts of criminals here,” the Imperial Phoenix spoke with scorn . As a Gesha organization that had relations with the government, the force the Imperial Phoenix could mobilize far exceeded everyone’s expectations .
Lu Sheng nodded slightly .
“Bring the goods here . ”
After the order was passed, several men carried a huge basin with a diameter of several meters .
The round basin was completely black . It seemed to have been made out of some black jade . Various mysterious symbols and patterns were inscribed on the sides, and there were also four peculiar bat-like beast sculptures perched at regular intervals on the basin .
“Begin . ” Lu Sheng nodded .
In no time, two smaller strong men stepped forward . They each held a criminal, and they swiped the knives in their hands across the criminals’ necks .
“Pchht!”
Two jets of blood shot out and landed precisely into the great basin on the ground .
When they saw this scene, the other gagged and bound teenagers immediately trembled . All color drained from their faces .
Blood flowed quickly from the opened necks . Initially, the blood gushed out, then it slowed, and finally dripped until it went dry .
The two strong men casually tossed the corpses away . Then, they picked up two other children and repeated their actions .
Nobody felt sorry for them . These teenagers captured by the Imperial Phoenix had committed grave crimes . They were largely evil, and had distorted personalities and short tempers .
There were no innocent souls here . They were all individuals who were spared judgement because of the loopholes in the judiciary system .
Streams of blood flowed continuously into the black jade basin . The peculiar thing was that despite the cold temperature, the blood in the basin, which had been outside the body for so long, did not coagulate .
After all the criminals had been drained of their blood, Lu Sheng clapped his hands . A strong fat man more than two meters in height walked up immediately .
“Toss all the ingredients into it,” Lu Sheng instructed .
“Understood!” the fat man hastily responded . He removed the plastic bags he had been carrying on his back .
“Swoosh…”
The bags of red powder were emptied into the basin .
The blood in the basin began to turn white . The original red tint faded . In its place was a faint fragrance .
Lu Sheng flicked his fingers . Spots of colorful light shot out and plunged lightly into the basin .
“Fuh!”
The entire black jade basin burst into flames . The flames were not scarlet; instead, they were semi-transparent and colorful .
“It’s done . Let’s have someone try it out . ” Lu Sheng swept his gaze across the people gathered there . At least half of the people gathered here were Geshas .
Zhou Quanwu stepped forward and calmly spoke, “Allow me, Master . ” She walked slowly to the black jade basin and grabbed two beast sculptures on the edge of the basin .
“Uohh!”

Her limbs swelled up swiftly as they were filled with blood . The front of her singlet split open with a tearing sound by her expanding muscles . Her skin-tight inner garment was exposed .
“Argh!” she roared . Her legs were one size larger than before . Huge triangular muscle complexes which resembled armor even bulged on her back . Countless green blood vessels resembling spider web appeared on her body .
“Fooh!”
The black jade basin was immediately lifted above eye level . The jade basin was initially light as a feather before this . Currently, it weighed several orders heavier compared to before, just as if it was filled with heavy metal .
“Splash!”
Zhou Quanwu lifted the great basin and tilted it toward herself . The milky-white blood which burned with colorful flames immediately drenched her body .
The colorful flames swiftly spread onto her body as well .
“This… This sensation?!” Zhou Quanwu put the jade basin down . Her body shook, and she could not help but fall to her knees on the ground .
The colorful flames burned intensely as if they were eroding away something on her body .
Lu Sheng looked on silently as he stood at the side . After waiting for a little while, Zhou Quanwu slowly pushed her body back up .
“I’m… alive?!” She extended her hands in incredulity . She looked at her own slightly swollen fingers .
Lu Sheng had the clearest sensation as he stood there at the side . The flames had burned away all of Zhou Quanwu’s Gesha Power .
Now that the flames had stopped burning, it meant that her Gesha Powers had been completely burned away . Simply put, from this moment on, Zhou Quanwu was no longer a Gesha . She no longer needed to supply her own longevity into the Gesha Core .
The blood within the jade basin had replenished her lost longevity as well .
“It’s a success . ” Lu Sheng nodded slightly .
“That took more than expected, but as long as it’s worth it . Next . ” He looked at another Gesha, the Imperial Phoenix .
“Roger!” The Imperial Phoenix slowly took a step forward .
An hour later, the Geshas had passed the test . The conclusion was that Mi Guangyin’s method was simple and easy to apply . Other than its price being heavier, there were no obvious shortcomings .
However, the said price was a few lives, though this was not a problem for the Imperial Phoenix or Earth Star Pillar’s Star Sand .
On the contrary, after having their minds infiltrated and controlled by Lu Sheng, most of them started to think that it was a great bargain by giving up a few lives in exchange for their own safety .
After five consecutive Geshas had tried it out in the plains, Lu Sheng confirmed that this method was effective in extracting all Gesha Power and replenishing the lost longevity .
He quickly arranged for Du Xia and Du Qiu to undergo the purging process . He stripped them completely of the Gesha Power and replenished their longevity .
Time passed slowly by . A few days had passed in the blink of an eye .

Four days later… Within the God Clock .
Lu Sheng walked slowly into the rift . He suddenly stopped before even reaching the cavern where Mi Guangyin was .
He reached out slowly and placed his hand on the rock wall on the side .
Lu Sheng had controlled the Gesha Core for a few days now . At first, Mi Shenglong would still appear and curse somewhat . When he noticed that his insults were not working, he switched tactics and started groveling or resorted to trickery .
It was clear that after the Gesha Core left the God Clock, Mi Shenglong could not get his supply of energy; hence, he was really flustered .
The power he accumulated was not limitless . He needed a huge amount of energy to maintain his spirit’s existence . However, Lu Sheng had brought the Gesha Core out and used it to strip the Geshas of their powers . Although some of his power was regained in this way, the extraction of the Gesha Power also incurred a high energy cost . When the input and output of energies were calculated, Mi Shenglong practically gained nothing .
Mi Shenglong’s struggling and begging could not move Lu Sheng in the least . Lu Sheng was currently figuring a way to gain the greatest benefits from this world .
The first thing he was considering was this God Clock which surely contained a lot of Mental Energy .
He snapped back to the present . He ran his hand softly over the rocky inner wall of the God Clock .
“Pchht!”
Suddenly, he stabbed his fingers into the wall up to his wrist . His fingers pierced the wall as if they were sharp blades .
“Spare me…” Mi Shenglong’s voice could be heard from the Gesha Core in his pocket .
Lu Sheng ignored him . When Mi Shenglong grew weaker, the overall defense of the God Clock grew weaker as well .
The Mental Energy contained within loosened as well . Now was the moment for him to receive his payment for all his hard work .
“Hiss…”
Formless Mental Energy surged wildly into Lu Sheng’s body through his palm .
1000, 2000, 3000, 4000…
His Mental Energy store spiked wildly .
Before Lu Sheng’s eyes, Deep Blue’s interface was already open . He clearly saw the numbers of his Mental Energy rocketing up .
In less than 10 minutes, the vast Mental Energy contained within the God Clock flowed out like air from a punctured balloon . It surged into his body .
The God Clock’s original characteristics remained unchanged; it looked no different from before . Mental Energy did not have much of an effect on objects to begin with .
“Pchht!”
Lu Sheng withdrew his hand . Deep Blue’s interface closed slowly .
“You’ve come . Have you thought things through?” Mi Guangyin’s voice suddenly came from within the rift .

“I have . ”
Lu Sheng continued walking further inward .
“Before I can confirm my decision, I have a question for you . ” His expression was calm . It was clear that he had made a decision a long time ago .
“What is it?” Mi Guangyin asked with a smile .
“I want to confirm… just how powerful you are!” His voice barely faded when Lu Sheng charged toward Mi Guangyin with lightning speed . His right hand formed a blade and he brought it toward her forehead .
Mi Guangyin lifted an arm covered in black armor to parry Lu Sheng’s hand blade .
“Boom!”
Two great forces collided loudly . Gray air waves shot outward .
“I have… no interest in joining a weakling’s group!” Lu Sheng shouted furiously . He swung his elbow toward her, but the attack was blocked by Mi Guangyin’s other arm .
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”
The two of them fought fiercely in close quarters . They did not use any supernatural powers . They merely unleashed the pure strength from their bodies .
The intense and wild collision sounds practically formed a dragged-out sound . The densely packed sound waves sent vibrations throughout the entire God Clock .
Countless rubble rained down .
Lu Sheng’s moves were wide . He did not defend himself, and went all out in offense . His body was extremely hard . Even if Mi Guangyin managed to land a few blows, he would only be slightly grazed at most . Under the support of his spirit-prompting threads and Yang Essence, his wounds healed quickly .
Mi Guangyin’s body was covered in black armor . Faint, transparent ripples spread across it as they blocked the incoming punches and kicks .
“Divine Might!” Lu Sheng brought his palms together . In an instant, he lashed out with it with a terrifying speed several times quicker than before . He formed a blade with his joined palms and brought it down .
“Hahahaha!” Mi Guangyin laughed loudly . She pulled her right hand back and pulled out a black, slim curved blade out of thin air . She made a forward slash with it .
“Pchht! Boom!”
The hands and blade of the two opponents met .
A ring of black ripples suddenly appeared . It contracted slightly before erupting with a loud boom . In an area of several thousand meters, the plains cracked open as fissures of unknown depths spread across the land .
