Chapter 442 The Lord of the World? Tianjiao is shocked!
“Om”.
Lin Feng’s sword intent soared into the sky.
The terrifying sword intent pierced Lu Changsheng, as if to tear apart Lu Changsheng’s mind and consciousness.
“Hmm?”
Lu Changsheng was determined and unmoved.
The sword intent was invisible and intangible. In fact, it was an attack on the spirit and consciousness. If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if he was rated as “peerless”, if his spirit and will were not firm, he would probably be caught off guard.
But how firm was Lu Changsheng’s will?
He originally cultivated his mind.
Only an immortal mind can achieve the Daluo Immortal Venerable.
Therefore, his mind was killed by the sword intent, and it could not shake Lu Changsheng at all.
What’s more, Lu Changsheng still had the virtual world.
The virtual world was originally transformed from virtual to real.
It greatly increased the spirit and consciousness.
More importantly, Lu Changsheng also had the thirteenth level of the true self method.
His “true self” was also very powerful.
Adding up all these, let alone the mere sword intent, even if the sword intent was ten times stronger, it would not be able to shake Lu Changsheng's heart.
However, launching the sword intent meant that the other party had already started.
Since he had already started, Lu Changsheng would not be polite.
"Boom".
Suddenly, a flash of white light passed by.
The virtual world descended!
At this moment, the virtual world was looming, and it was no longer just a white light as before.
From a distance, the virtual world was like a huge space, sweeping over in an instant, covering Lin Feng in it.
"Suppress!"
As the virtual world suppressed him, Lin Feng felt his whole body tighten.
He seemed to be suffocating all over.
"This is..."
At this time, whether it was Lin Feng, Chen Tianlin, or the people of the Wang family, they were all shocked.
They were knowledgeable.
At this moment, under close contact, they already knew the means used by Lu Changsheng.
Especially the Tianjiao Xingying, who seemed to be very calm just now, now widened her eyes and looked serious for the first time.
You know, she didn't look so solemn even when she took action just now.
"Is this... the Lord of the World?"
Xingying exclaimed word by word.
She seemed to not believe her eyes.
The Lord of the World!
Lu Changsheng actually took the path of the Lord of the World?
The Lord of the World and the Source Life are the ultimate existences in the chaos.
But basically more than 80% of the cultivators take the path of the Source Life.
The reason is very simple.
The flesh can be seen and touched.
Keep tempering the flesh to lead to the Source Life.
And what about the Lord of the World?
The requirements for comprehension and talent are too high.
Most cultivators can only dream of it.
But unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng actually took the path of the Lord of the World.
Of course, Xingying was also a little strange.
Lu Changsheng's Lord of the World seemed to be different from the Lord of the World she had known before.
Xingying had known and even seen the practitioners of the Lord of the World before.
That's why she had some understanding of the Lord of the World practice system.
But Lu Changsheng seems to have just entered the world master system?
No, not even the entry.
But no matter what, Lu Changsheng's virtual world has been exposed.
Many cultivators insist that this is the world master.
Lu Changsheng doesn't really care about this.
The world master is not a strange thing in the chaos.
It's not a taboo.
It's just that there are too few and it's not well known.
Lu Changsheng's virtual world will be exposed to others sooner or later, and there is nothing to hide.
"Sword Realm! Explode!"
At this moment, Lin Feng shouted.
He and Lu Changsheng were still in a battle.
The virtual world did suppress Lin Feng, but Lin Feng was not completely powerless.
After all, he was rated "Peerless".
Relying solely on the virtual world, it is impossible to completely suppress Lin Feng.
Even Lin Feng burst out with a terrible sword energy.
The sword energy exploded, and Lu Changsheng's virtual world suddenly became riddled with holes and shaky, as if it would collapse at any time.
However, Lu Changsheng had already been condensing his clones.
He had never wanted to use his clones before.
Or, he didn't want to use his clones unless he had no other choice.
Because once there is a loss, it will be lost forever.
It takes a lot of time and blood to cultivate again.
But now, Lu Changsheng's virtual world has consumed most of Lin Feng's power.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng has no other means.
Now is the best time to use his clones.
"Merge."
Suddenly, more than two million ancestral clones quickly merged into Lu Changsheng's body.
"Boom."
A ten-thousand-foot giant instantly spanned the chaos.
He exuded a terrifying aura.
Facing the terrifying sword energy, the ten-thousand-foot giant waved his hand and slapped it.
"Puff."
The sword energy collapsed instantly.
At the same time, the giant's huge palm enveloped Lin Feng.
It directly slapped down the sword energy and Lin Feng.
"Bang".
Lin Feng didn't even scream, his body was smashed into powder.
Dead!
Lin Feng fell instantly under Lu Changsheng's blow.
Lu Changsheng's loss was minimal.
Silence!
The whole chaos was silent again.
Many people opened their mouths wide, but in the end, no words came out.
Both are rated as peerless, why is there such a big gap between Lu Changsheng and Lin Feng?
Lin Feng can't stop Lu Changsheng at all.
"Hahaha, the head of the Wang family has conceded, and my Chen family has won again!"
At this time, Chen Tianlin laughed.
Lu Changsheng won, so now the Chen family and the Wang family are back to the starting line.
Both are two wins.
On the surface, it seems that no one has an advantage.
But only the Wang family felt depressed.
Although both are two wins, in fact, the Wang family arranged for the first to sixth levels of the Ascension God are very powerful.
Above the seventh level of the Ascension God, the Wang family did not find too many masters.
At least the Wang family is not sure of winning.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the first to sixth levels of the Ascension God to get at least four wins.
As a result, now that four games have passed, the Wang family has only two wins.
If this continues, what advantages can the Wang family have?
Lu Changsheng silently returned to the crowd.
But many people looked at Lu Changsheng differently.
Peerless rating, maybe very high.
However, a peerless genius who has embarked on the path of becoming the Lord of the World is completely different.
"Daoyou Lu, I never thought that you would embark on the path of becoming the Lord of the World. In the Tianguang Holy Sect, there are only a handful of disciples who can embark on the path of becoming the Lord of the World."
Xingying, who was standing by, also took the initiative to talk.
"Huh?"
"Does the Tianguang Holy Sect have disciples who have embarked on the path of becoming the Lord of the World?"
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
"Yes."
"As far as I know, there are several disciples in the Tianguang Holy Sect who have embarked on the path of becoming the Lord of the World, but they are all Tianjiao!"
Xingying is a Tianjiao with high authority.
Her words should be true.
However, Lu Changsheng just nodded, but did not ask further.
The two exchanged communication methods.
Obviously, Lu Changsheng had won Xingying's recognition in the battle just now.
Others could only envy.
Everyone wants to get close to a Tianjiao, but Tianjiao is not something that everyone can look up to.
The battle continues.
In the fifth game, the Wang family won.
In the sixth game, the Chen family won.
In the seventh match, the Chen family won.
In the eighth match, the Chen family also won.
So far, the Chen family has won five matches.
There is no need to fight even in the ninth match.
The Chen family finally obtained that chaotic world.
Chen Tianlin fulfilled his promise and gave Lu Changsheng 100,000 Chaos Energy Stones.
Then Lu Changsheng returned to the Tianguang Holy Sect with Xingying.
As soon as he returned to the Tianguang Holy Sect, Xingying said to Lu Changsheng: "Daoyou Lu, you can't work behind closed doors. If you have time, you can still communicate more between the channels. I welcome Daoyou Lu at any time."
Lu Changsheng nodded and said: "If necessary, Lu will visit Daoyou Xingying."
Xingying didn't say anything else, and quickly turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
Lu Changsheng returned to the cave and submitted the task directly on the identity card.
Anyway, there is no need to submit anything for this task. As long as the Chen family agrees, the task will be completed.
Soon, Lu Changsheng submitted the task.
There were also 10,000 more contribution points on his ID card, and now there were 10,900 contribution points in total.
10,000 contribution points are a lot, but Lu Changsheng still wants to collect more contribution points before going to the Samsara Tower.
Cultivate the Thirteenth Level of the True Self Method to a higher level at one time.
So, Lu Changsheng continued to look for tasks.
While looking for tasks, Lu Changsheng also inquired about Xingying's situation.
This Xingying is a celebrity of the Tianguang Holy Sect.
A well-known Tianjiao, there is a lot of news about Xingying.
Lu Changsheng actually found out some key information about Xingying.
Xingying is a special life of the Phantom Clan.
Naturally immune to any attack below its own energy.
Outstanding talent.
Even if the Phantom Clan does nothing, it can slowly reach the peak of the ninth level of the Ascension God.
However, the Phantom Clan also has troubles.
It is quite difficult for them to transform into chaotic life.
But once the transformation is successful, they will be very terrifying among the chaotic life.
Xingying is the best among the Phantom Clan, and was placed high hopes by the Phantom Clan and sent to the Tianguang Holy Sect.
It seems that Xingying is not only gifted, but also has an extremely powerful background.
The Tianguang Holy Sect has a chaotic life of the Phantom Clan.
Who dares to provoke Xingying?
However, even for Xingying, it is a threshold to ascend to the ninth level of God to the chaotic life.
No one can guarantee whether this threshold can be crossed.
"Whether it is a special life or an ordinary life. Once promoted to a chaotic life, it will have to reshape the body, and even the foundation will be reshaped. At that time, all the previous talents, qualifications, etc. will be pulled to the same level."
Lu Changsheng knows very well what chaotic life means.
Ordinary life can compete with special life, and it can only be promoted to chaotic life.
When it comes to chaotic life, everyone is the same.
Even if there is an advantage, it is actually not a big advantage.
However, Lu Changsheng is still far away from chaotic life.
He naturally wouldn't aim too high, but would just look for tasks, earn contribution points, and then practice with the help of the Samsara Tower.
Unfortunately, there weren't many tasks suitable for Lu Changsheng.
If he couldn't find a suitable task, Lu Changsheng wondered whether he should just go to the Samsara Tower and use the 10,000 contribution points there to see how far he could improve the Thirteenth Level True Self Method?
Just as Lu Changsheng was hesitating.
"Boom".
Suddenly, the ID card vibrated violently.
Then, a huge voice sounded from the ID card.
"The Heavenly Prison was broken, and the dark life in the Heavenly Prison escaped. Now we recruit disciples of the Tianguang Holy Sect to rush to the Heavenly Prison to kill the dark life. Every time a dark life is killed, you will get a corresponding contribution point reward according to the life level of the dark life."
The mighty voice almost spread throughout the Tianguang Holy Sect.
Not only the sound.
Lu Changsheng immediately immersed his consciousness in the ID card.
Sure enough, the ID card was constantly refreshing the tasks.
There was only one task, that is, to go to the Heavenly Prison and kill the dark life in the Heavenly Prison.
"It seems that something big has happened..."
When Lu Changsheng saw this scene, he immediately guessed that something big must have happened.
Otherwise, there would not be such a big commotion.
"Dark life..."
Lu Changsheng frowned.
He didn't know much about the Heavenly Prison, let alone the dark life.
However, he had great authority.
He immediately searched in the ID card.
Soon, Lu Changsheng found the introduction of the Heavenly Prison.
The Heavenly Prison is a prison built by the Tianguang Holy Sect, which is specially used to imprison dark domain life.
The so-called dark domain life involves the secrets of chaos.
It is said that chaos is two sides of the same coin.
The normal side is chaos, and the other side is the dark domain.
Under normal circumstances, chaos and the dark domain will hardly have any intersection.
Only the source life can enter chaos or the dark domain.
In addition, only after a long time, the dark domain and chaos will be directly connected, and then chaos and the dark domain will be completely connected and can enter and exit each other.
However, every time this happens, it is the appearance of the "great catastrophe".
At that time, chaos and the dark domain will fight each other.
In addition to the source life, any other level of life will be involved.
It can be called the biggest catastrophe of chaos and the dark domain.
However, it is still a long way from the catastrophe, so there is no need to worry.
The dark domain life imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison is the dark domain life captured alive by the Tianguang Holy Sect in the last catastrophe.
Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, studied carefully, or for other purposes.
I just don't know what caused the Heavenly Prison to break and a large number of dark domain creatures to escape this time.
If left alone, it might cause great damage to the Hundred Flowers Domain.
"Buzz".
At this moment, Lu Changsheng's ID card vibrated.
This is a message.
At present, Lu Changsheng has only one friend in the Tianguang Holy Sect, "Xingying".
Even Xingying is not a friend.
They just dealt with each other once.
Xingying sent a message: "Daoyou Lu, can you come to the cave to talk about the matter of the Heavenly Prison."
Lu Changsheng's heart moved.
The sudden break of the Heavenly Prison and the escape of the dark domain creatures are indeed a bit strange.
And Xingying has a deep background and greater authority, maybe there is some secret information.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng immediately got up and flew towards Xingying's cave.
Soon, Lu Changsheng came to Xingying's cave and met Xingying.
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Xingying."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too polite. Please take a seat."
The two of them sat down cross-legged.
Lu Changsheng asked directly: "Fellow Daoist Xingying, do you know why the Heavenly Prison was broken?"
Xingying shook her head and said: "I don't know. Maybe those dark realm creatures have been planning for a long time. But no matter what the reason, the Heavenly Prison was broken and the dark realm creatures escaped. This is actually an opportunity for us."
"Opportunity?"
Lu Changsheng was a little confused.
"Yes, it's an opportunity!"
"Dark Domain life is very important. Tianguang Holy Sect attaches great importance to it and will definitely offer many rewards. If you kill a Dark Domain life, you will probably get a lot of contribution points."
"Isn't Fellow Daoist Lu tempted?"
"I have also inquired about some things recently and know that Fellow Daoist Lu can travel through space in Luojin Realm. We are going to the Heavenly Prison this time. The Heavenly Prison is actually a chaotic world. If Fellow Daoist Lu can master the spatial power of the Heavenly Prison and travel through space, it will be much easier to deal with those Dark Domain life."
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu can take me with you? In fact, I can break through to the fourth level of Ascension God at any time, and I will definitely not let you down. Even the total harvest can be divided into 70% and 30%, and I only need 30%."
Xingying's words made Lu Changsheng suddenly realize.
No wonder Xingying was so anxious to find Lu Changsheng.
It turned out that she had investigated that Lu Changsheng could travel through space in Luojin Realm.
Even Xingying drew inferences from one example.
I think Lu Changsheng might be able to travel through space in the Heavenly Prison.
But Lu Changsheng couldn't guarantee that he could travel through space.
Unless the Heavenly Prison didn't have the will of the world.
Lu Changsheng didn't answer immediately, but pondered carefully.
He was weighing the pros and cons.
If he really wanted to go to the Heavenly Prison, even if he could travel through space, he could kill a lot of dark domain life with the virtual world and more than two million clones, and thus obtain a lot of contribution points.
However, there are many dark domain life in the Heavenly Prison.
Lu Changsheng couldn't always rely on the virtual world.
What if the virtual world couldn't hold it?
If the virtual world couldn't hold it, he had to fuse the clone.
But once the clone that Lu Changsheng fused was damaged, it would be a permanent damage.
It takes time to cultivate back.
By the time he spent a lot of time to cultivate the damaged clone back step by step, the dark domain life in the Heavenly Prison might have been wiped out.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng really needed help.
"Heavenly Hell doesn't have the will of the world?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
Xingying was slightly startled.
"There is no world will. In fact, although Heavenly Prison is a chaotic world, it is a dead and silent chaotic world..."
Xingying replied.
Lu Changsheng understood.
A dead and chaotic world without a will to the world.
Then he is sure to control the power of space and travel through space.
"Lu can take fellow Taoist Xingying with him, but it's not enough!"
"Fellow Taoist Xingying can find a trustworthy ninth-level monk who ascends to the gods, preferably at the peerless level. At that time, Lu can take the two of them to travel through space, and finally get contribution points, six or four points. I am six, You four."
Lu Changsheng said.
He took the initiative to ask for 10% less.
The reason is also very simple. If a ninth-level god-level expert comes, the contribution points obtained by killing the dark realm life of the ninth-level god-level are simply unimaginable.
If he gives up 10%, he will definitely get more contribution points in the end.
As for how Xingying and the ninth-level Ascendant master would divide the "40%" share, that was none of his business.
There was a glint in Xingying's eyes.
She thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find someone."
"In three days, if I can find a ninth-level expert with an unparalleled rating, then I will go to the Heavenly Prison with fellow Daoist Lu."
"If I can't find a ninth-level expert with an unparalleled rating, Fellow Daoist Lu can go to the Heavenly Hell alone."
Xingying is also self-aware.
She knew she was of little use.
If she couldn't find a ninth-level warrior, Lu Changsheng would naturally refuse to form a team with her.
Time passes day by day.
On the third day, a message came from Xingying.
Lu Changsheng rushed to Xingying's cave, and he saw Xingying and a woman beside Xingying.
The other party's expression was quite cold, like an iceberg.
However, when the other party saw Lu Changsheng, his eyes lit up.
Xingying said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is Sister Liu Qing. She can be called the ninth-level divine ascendant of the Tianguang Holy Sect. She is rated as peerless at the ninth-level divine ascendant, and she also owns a cloud palace, which is It is the treasure of chaos. With the presence of the Cloud Palace, even the life of chaos cannot break it. It can be said to be invincible. "
"How about it, Fellow Daoist Lu, are you satisfied now?"
Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
This Liu Qing actually owns a Chaos Treasure.
You must know that in Chaos, precious treasures are divided into Chaos Spiritual Treasures and Chaos Supreme Treasures.
The Chaos Spiritual Treasure can be used to ascend to the divine level.
But the Chaos Arcana is different.
That is a treasure that even chaotic life must fight for.
If a Chaos Treasure is defensive in nature, even Chaos Life cannot break it.
Obviously, this Liu Qing can possess a treasure of chaos. Not only is he extremely talented, he may also have a terrifying background.
Xingying's ability to attract such a strong man exceeded Lu Changsheng's expectations.
With such a powerful man, coupled with Shanglu Changsheng's space shuttle, they must be able to achieve great things in the Heavenly Prison.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I wonder if you have any objections to the distribution ratio of contribution points?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
This kind of thing still needs to be explained clearly first.
Liu Qing nodded and said: "If you can really travel through space in the Heavenly Prison, then there will be no problem."
Obviously, Liu Qing also knew very well that Lu Changsheng's ability to travel through space was the key to this trip to Hell.
Otherwise, no matter how strong she is, if she goes to the Heavenly Hell alone, she will not gain much in the end.
But it's different with space travel.
"Okay, let's set off as soon as possible."
Lu Changsheng said.
Xingying is the happiest.
Although she only received 10% of the contribution points, even 10% of the contribution points were terrifying.
The key is that she doesn't need to put in much effort.
Of course, this is also because of her luck.
Who told her to be Lu Changsheng's middleman?
And without Xingying, Lu Changsheng would not feel free to invite other powerful people who have reached the ninth level of the gods.
It can be considered that everyone gets what he needs.
The three of them did not hesitate.
It has been three days since the Heavenly Hell happened.
They were actually a little late, and now they had to hurry up.
So, the three of them went to the teleportation formation together.
With their genius and peerless authority, they can naturally use the teleportation formation immediately.
"Buzz".
The three of them stepped into the teleportation formation and were teleported straight away.
Heavenly Prison and Tianguang Holy Sect can teleport directly.
Therefore, this teleportation is directly teleported to the Heavenly Hell.
"Shua".
A flash of white light flashed.
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
He looked around, seeing desolation and deathly silence.
"Here we are, here is the hell."
Xingying said.
"Friend Lu Dao, how long does it take for you to master space travel?"
Xingying asked.
Liu Qing's eyes also fell on Lu Changsheng.
Indeed, mastering space travel is important.
If it takes too long to master space travel, then their trip will be meaningless.
"Depending on the situation, I will try my best to sense the power of space and master the space shuttle."
After saying that, Lu Changsheng flew out, found a cave, and began to retreat to sense the power of space.
Anyway, with Xingying and Liu Qing guarding him, Lu Changsheng was not worried at all.
As a result, Lu Changsheng began to sense the power of space.
Without the will of the world, Lu Changsheng was already familiar with sensing the power of space.
But no matter how familiar you are, it takes time.
Seeing Lu Changsheng immersed in the power of sensing space, Liu Qing and Xingying looked at each other.
The two are quite familiar with each other.
Liu Qing couldn't help but ask: "Xingying, is he sensing the power of space? Is he trying to master the space power of Heavenly Prison?"
Liu Qing didn't expect this.
She had thought that Lu Changsheng had some treasure that could travel through space.
The result is that it is induced by oneself?
Even if she is a genius, she does not have such confidence.
How is it possible to master the power of space in a short period of time?
Xingying was also confused.
She was also at a loss.
She actually thought the same as Liu Qing, thinking that Lu Changsheng had some kind of special treasure that could travel through space in the chaotic world.
Or there is some treasure that can speed up the time for Lu Changsheng to master the power of space.
Result, that's it?
Lu Changsheng actually relied on his own understanding to understand the power of space.
For a moment, the two looked at each other.
"Sister Liu Qing, what should we do now?"
Xingying felt a little embarrassed.
If Lu Changsheng senses space for too long, wouldn't their trip be in vain?
He even "trapped" Liu Qing.
Liu Qing frowned.
"Let's see. If we can't master space governance in three years, then we will give up cooperating with Lu Changsheng."
Liu Qingqing gave Lu Changsheng the greatest tolerance.
Three years!
No more.
After all, even in three years, it is estimated that a lot of dark life in the heavenly prison will be eliminated.
However, Liu Qing was also staring at Lu Changsheng.
She was also curious.
What kind of confidence and self-confidence does a monk who is only rated as peerless, and who is only at the fourth level of divine attainment, be able to master the space power of a chaotic world in such a short period of time, and even be able to travel through space?
Is it possible that Lu Changsheng's understanding is so high that he is even more terrifying than the genius?
Even the geniuses cannot comprehend the power of space in the chaotic world.
Not to mention traveling through space.
Even chaotic beings cannot comprehend and master the power of space.
The reason why most chaotic beings are able to travel through space is because they rely on powerful force to forcibly tear apart space and thus travel through space.
It is simply unheard of to rely on one's own understanding to understand space and master the power of space to travel through space.
However, Liu Qing still gave Lu Changsheng time.
She only gave him three years!
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was immersed in the perception of space.
He didn't know about the discussion between Liu Qing and Xingying.
He just tried his best to master the power of space as soon as possible.
Lu Changsheng felt the power of space for a moment, and was overjoyed.
There is indeed no world will.
Then this will be easy to handle.
Without the will of the world, Lu Changsheng would be able to comprehend space and master the power of space calmly.
It's just a matter of time.
In addition, he has already mastered the power of space in the Luojin world.
Already very familiar.
Time passes day by day.
One year, two years, three years...
Three years have passed.
Lu Changsheng still didn't make any movement.
Liu Qing couldn't help but show disappointment on his face.
"Sister Liu, why don't you wait a little longer?"
Xingying was still a little unwilling.
What if Lu Changsheng masters the power of space?
She really wanted to wait.
But Liu Qing was different.
Even without Lu Changsheng's space travel, she could still gain a lot of contribution points.
For Liu Qing, it has already been delayed for three years.
She couldn't delay any longer.
If she continued to delay, she would really suffer heavy losses.
"No need, I've been waiting for three years, what's the point of waiting any longer?"
"If decades later, he masters the power of space, I'm afraid it won't be of much use."
Liu Qing shook her head, she was unwilling to wait any longer.
Xingying also knew that it would be difficult for Liu Qing to wait any longer.
She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Buzz".
At this moment, the void around Lu Changsheng stirred up ripples.
That's a ripple in space!
Seeing this scene, Xingying's face lit up.
"Sister Liu, wait a few more days."
Xingying pleaded.
Liu Qing saw the changes around Lu Changsheng, which were indeed ripples in space.
Now that there have been changes.
Liu Qing then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's wait a few more days."
So, the two of them continued to wait nervously and expectantly.
About seven days later.
"Shua".
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
Wherever you look, you can see two familiar figures.
Xingying and Liu Qing both stood up suddenly and looked at Lu Changsheng in surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, was it successful?"
Xingying's voice was filled with excitement.
