The Lord of the Gods of the Universe
Ch. 4 - The Forest of a Thousand Monsters
Li Yuwen ran into the forest, seeing that the masked man was intent on chasing after him but someone stopped him.
“No need to chase, you yourself know what forest the boy entered.”
“Truely too, without the need to be pursued even the child will die alone in the stomach of a wild animal that is there,” said the masked man while laughing.

Li Yuwen continued to run into the forest aimlessly, seeing that he was crying in the light of the deaths of his parents, until finally Li Yuwen stumbled over the root of a tree that spread and fell towards a small ravine nearby.
Even though Li Yuwen was still crying over the death of his parents regardless of the pain he felt, Li Yuwen let out all the sadness in his heart for a very long time, until finally Li Yuwen fainted from exhaustion and injuries.
Li Yuwen fainted for an entire day before a light appeared on his body and opened his eyes. As he opened his eyes Li Yuwen snorted in pain all over his body.
“Where am I? And why does my body hurt so much?” li Yuwen.
“Didn't I have senior, why am I here? Why did my voice change? My body has become small."
Li Yuwen was still confused by what had happened to him and tried to calm down and assess the situation. As Li Yuwen had already become calmer, a memory appeared in his head.
Li Yuwen knew the memory that had just entered his head, it was the memory where his hometown was attacked by the black sect as well as the death of his parents.
Recalling the old memories that had just appeared in his head, Li Yuwen again looked at his body and the place he was.
“My shrunken body and the memory of my parents' death are also where I am now , is it possible..” Li Yuwen began to guess.
“No-no, I have to make sure first. Now I need a mirror, but seeing the situation now it is impossible to have a mirror ... But if I don't remember wrongly, there's a lake nearby."
Li Yuwen started to run quickly towards his destination while enduring the pain all over his body.
It didn't take long, Li Yuwen came to a small lake surrounded by shady trees and shone by the light of the moon. Li Yuwen hurriedly approached the lake and began to mirror the reflection of the water.
Li Yuwen was surprised to see the reflection of the water he saw, in the reflection there was a child with long golden hair and beautiful eyes blue in jewels, the face was also very handsome.
But Li Yuwen was not surprised by these things even as if he did not care, what he surprised was that the reflection of the water showed a child who looked 12-13 years old, it was a reflection of himself.
“It turns out that my guess is correct, it means that this place is the Thousand Monster Forest ... with a small body like this means that I return to my 12th year of age when Jiang City was attacked and the death of my parents.”
The Thousand Monster Forest was a forest where many ferocious beasts gathered, this forest was quite dangerous for ordinary humans as well as cultivators once. As not only ferocious beasts, Demon Beasts were also Spiritual Monsters inhabiting this forest.
The way to cultivate monsters was to eat the Spiritual Plant or dwell in a place rich in Qi, Because of that, the Thousand Monster Forest is often referred to as the Treasure Forest because of the resources in the forest.
For the practice level of monsters was the same as the level possessed by human cultivators, but the power produced by monsters was stronger when compared to the strength of human cultivators at the same practice level.

“According to my experience in this forest, 3 days from now will appear hundreds of wild beasts to this lake to drink, I was also chased by them for seeing me who rested in this lake. But I thank them also ... because if they do not pursue I will also not find the Book of Gods of the Universe which is in the central lake of the Thousand Monster Forest.”
“I must immediately go to the lake in the center of this forest, of course I do not want to experience terrible things twice... moreover my condition which is now injured also has no Qi at all.”
After deciding, Li Yuwen again ran towards the center of the Thousand Monster Forest to find the lake that stored the Book of Gods Universe.
Li Yuwen found no significant difficulty while running towards the center of the Thousand Monster Forest, because after the death of his parents Li Yuwen lived in this forest for 3 years. So he has memorized safe routes that can avoid himself from monsters as well as wild animals.
30 Minutes had passed since Li Yuwen had started running and it was causing him exhaustion, Li Yuwen decided to rest on top of the trees to reduce the threat, as it could have been a ferocious beast crossing the path he was on.
***
Simply resting, Li Yuwen again ran on his way, but this time it was longer than before because he wanted to get there faster.
An hour had passed since he ran and the distance between himself and the lake he was heading to was 12 km, if Li Yuwen maintained his current speed then he would be up in 30 minutes, But the journey was not as smooth as he thought.
As far as 100 meters in front of Li Yuwen saw 2 wolves eating their prey, Li Yuwen decided to stop for a moment and think about the plan he would take next.
“It looks like my trip is not as smooth as I thought even though memorizing the route though, taking a detour will take longer as well as getting out of the safe route.” Li Yuwen smiled wryly.
“It seems like there is no other way but against the two wolves in front, then I need to prepare and rest before attacking.”
Li Yuwen prepared the materials he needed to fight the two wolves in front of him, and began to rest for 10 minutes after finishing preparing the materials he needed.
***
Finished resting, Li Yuwen began to regulate his breathing and thought of the best plan that would allow him to win 100% with the materials he gathered.
Li Yuwen conducted many simulated fights between himself and the two wolves before him in his brain, many of which he simulated before finally finding the right plan.
“Baiklah ... Let's start.”
