It's All a Minor Problem!

Hua turned to look at Chiyou were growing weaker and weaker, and changed the subject, saying, "What should we do with this guy?"

A colossal Honkai Beast, nearly the size of a small continent, would take some time to deal with, let alone the still immature and fragile present civilization, even in their Previous Era.

"Seal it up along with Nine Abyss."

Liu Bai had already thought of a solution and spoke without the slightest hesitation.

This thing is really impossible to deal with. If you dig it up, you're doomed. As Judgment-Class Honkai Beast, and Judgment-Class Honkai Beast with an extremely abnormal energy size, even if Chiyou does nothing, the Honkai Energy he unconsciously releases can easily assimilate the surrounding plants and animals into Honkai Beast.

Yes, theoretically, plants can also become Honkai Beast, but they are relatively rare.

But if you leave this thing unattended for thousands of years, even the rarest of them will eventually emerge.

"Nine Abyss... shouldn't we ask Ji Lin's opinion about this?"

Hua thought about it and decided that she preferred her teacher's method.

This thing can't be dealt with; we need to find a way to seal it away. But on the other hand, Nine Abyss is also Ji Lin's hometown, so Hua Zong doesn't feel comfortable just sealing it away like this.

"If she doesn't agree, you won't do it?" Cangxuan pointed out the problem quietly.

This isn't a question of whether or not to seal the Nine Abyss.

The problem is that Chiyou needs to be dealt with, Nine Abyss also needs to be dealt with, so it's easier to deal with them all at once.

The Nine Abyss must be sealed, and even if Ji Lin objects, this matter is inevitable.

Hua fell silent upon hearing this and said nothing more.

That makes perfect sense.

"Let's stuff this thing in first. By the way, can Nine Abyss even fit something this big?"

"Yes, it's definitely big enough for the Nine Abyss Netherworld. It's even bigger than I imagined. I'll take care of stuffing it in. Hua, you go back and get a few hundred God Key as sealing materials."

While the group was talking, Chiyou had already breathed his last and completely lost all signs of life.

Hua could only nod in agreement and then turned and went home.

Then Liu Bai looked at Cangxuan and said, "Cangxuan, let's go check out the situation inside the Nine Abyss and retrieve some equipment while we're at it."

"Good."

The two immediately entered the entrance of the Nine Abyss.

As Liu Bai had expected, the Nine Abyss Netherworld territory inside the Nine Abyss was completely silent, with only the occasional mechanical rumble.

"Such a high concentration of Honkai Energy..." Cangxuan felt slightly uncomfortable.

However, it was only to a slight degree, after all, Cangxuan himself was an elite warrior, and his resistance to Honkai Energy was unquestionable.

Unless Cangxuan is immersed in liquefied Honkai Energy, there is absolutely no way anything could happen.

"Did Nine Abyss sacrifice his entire clan?"

"Not necessarily, we can look again."

Liu Bai felt that even if Nine Abyss went completely insane, not everyone would necessarily follow Nine Abyss. Some people who still had a brain would definitely make a more rational decision.

Cangxuan nodded, and the two of them searched in the Nine Abyss for another half hour before finally finding several children, both boys and girls, in the cellar of a house.

"The Honkai Energy erosion is very minor."

Cangxuan ignored the children's vigilance and forcibly examined their bodies, arriving at a fairly good result.

"These children can live like ordinary people once they leave here... Of course, their physical abilities will generally be stronger than those of ordinary people who have never been exposed to Honkai Energy. Let Ji Lin take care of them."

After coaxing the children and taking them out, the two returned the way they came and found the Honkai Energy machine in the Nine Abyss Clan.

Looking at the crude machine that was four or five meters tall, Cangxuan was starting to doubt his own existence. "Liu Bai, if I'm not mistaken..."

"You read that right, these parts are basically from a simple Stasis Pod."

Liu Bai, the designer of the simple Stasis Pod, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, those ancestors of the Youxiong Clan, I only left them some primitive gathering tools, yet they managed to create something like this. It's truly eye-opening... And why didn't this thing explode?"

Theoretically speaking, given the machine's current operating mode, it should have exploded with a bang long ago, but it's a miracle that it hasn't exploded yet.

"This thing must have been running for at least a hundred years, right? And it hasn't been maintained yet... If this thing explodes, wouldn't it blow up most of this clan's territory?"

This thing, without exaggeration, is equivalent to a Honkai Energy missile that could detonate at any moment...

Upon hearing Liu Bai's words, Cangxuan Sanwu's expression nearly crumbled, and he immediately felt like running away.

If this thing explodes, she really can't handle it.

"But then again, is this all there is? There are clearly more Stasis Pod in a shelter than just this many parts." Liu Bai stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled.

"There should only be one... or there were others before, but they exploded."

Cangxuan put forward a very convincing hypothesis.

Liu Bai was immediately speechless.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. I'll try to take this thing apart."

To be fair, after dismantling these things, Liu Bai could actually reuse them and maybe even reassemble one or two Stasis Pod.

Liu Bai acted immediately, possessing the body to begin dismantling the interior—starting with the exterior. Liu Bai was genuinely afraid the thing would suddenly explode.

To be honest, with Liu Bai's current abilities, he simply couldn't figure out how this thing moved.

... This is unbelievable.

"Doesn't this thing have a switch to stop it?" Cangxuan looked at Liu Bai, who was possessing him, with some confusion.

"No."

"... They're really amazing."

Cangxuan couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

It's really impressive that they were able to create something like this.

It's truly amazing that they've survived this long.

I'm changing my sleep schedule; I'll probably be updating in the mornings from now on...

Chapter 468 It's all a minor problem!

"Oh, Nine Abyss, let's just seal it then."

After learning that his own powerful gods had sealed Chiyou and the Nine Abyss together, Ji Lin remained quite calm.

This surprised Danzhu: "Isn't that the territory of your Youxiong Clan?"

"This was once the territory of the Youxiong Clan," Ji Lin, sitting in the wooden house, corrected. "Do you really think the Youxiong Clan of today is the same as the Youxiong Clan of the past?"

"Dozens of tribes were merged together, Youxiong Clan became a broader concept rather than just a tribe."

Liu Bai, who was possessing the small terracotta figurine, added.

A look of sudden realization flashed across Danzhu's face. "From tribe to nation?"

"It's a bit early, but that's about it."

Although Danzhu had sufficient theoretical knowledge, he ultimately lacked practical leadership experience, and his sensitivity in this area was somewhat inferior to Liu Bai's.

"Then your Youxiong Clan should also leave this place?"

"Yes, we plan to migrate further east. Now that the Nine Abyss have been eliminated and our greatest enemy has vanished, we are no longer prepared to remain here. We are ready to set off to find a more habitable land."

"That's not so easy. Although the Nine Abyss has been destroyed, the traces it left behind will not disappear so easily. At least for the demon beasts, it will probably take a thousand or eight hundred years to completely disappear," Liu Bai said softly.

This is one of the few problems that even he can't solve.

Large Honkai Beast are manageable, but small Honkai Beast... well, let's not even talk about these deep mountains and forests. Even in a modern city, they can easily hide and you might not be able to find them.

It's impossible to hunt down and eliminate these creatures; you can only kill them one by one when you see them.

Actually, according to this statement, 1,800 years is a rather conservative estimate.

However, as long as these tribes' possessions related to Honkai are confiscated, Honkai will fall into a long period of Honkai and no new Honkai Beast will be generated—this is actually the most important point.

"These are minor matters. As long as there are no monsters like Chiyou, we can still deal with ordinary demons."

Ji Lin smiled – after the war, at Liu Bai's suggestion, Chiyou was officially named Chiyou.

"By the way, are the experts going to stay here?"

"We should catch up in a while," Danzhu replied after thinking for a moment. "We'll go once we're sure the seal is truly secure."

Although Danzhu felt that this place had geographical advantages, it was clear that the current level of technology made it difficult to make full use of the advantages of being near the sea. Therefore, Danzhu supported Ji Lin's decision to look eastward for a more suitable "geographical advantage" for the current level of technology.

More importantly, the Youxiong Clan is currently in the process of transitioning between civilizations. Whether it's to protect this spark of a new era of civilization or to supervise them to prevent them from creating Honkai Energy from other places, the women have to keep up.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin smiled with relief.

"That's great. I was worried that the great gods wouldn't want to leave. If that were the case, there might be a large group of people in the clan who wouldn't want to leave either. By the way, once we've settled down in the east, we should prepare to abdicate."

Ji Lin's first half of his sentence was fine, but the second half completely stunned everyone present.

"No, you're doing a great job, why would you want to step down?" Danzhu was a little confused.

Ji Lin, a woman destined for Schicksal, may see her decision to quit as her own business, but from a civilizational perspective, it could even be a turning point in history.

"Hmm... because I don't think I really like it?"

Ji Lin thought for a moment and gave a rather subjective answer.

"Ah, although I know that a leader's responsibilities cannot be shifted because of personal likes or dislikes, I have found a very suitable successor!"

"Lianshan?" Liu Bai thought of Shennong.

"Yes, yes, that guy is very good at farming. He will definitely play a bigger role than me in the future. He is also very fair in his dealings and is deeply loved by most people. If anyone can succeed me, it will definitely be him."

It must be said that Ji Lin truly lives up to her Ji Lin. Among such a group of people, she managed to accurately find someone whose leadership skills were only slightly inferior to hers.

"And what about you? What will you do after you stop being the leader? Will you condescend to be a warrior? Or become a shaman?" Danzhu asked doubtfully.

"Hmm... I want to be with the experts, so we can both protect the tribe and enjoy every day. It's the best of both worlds."

Upon hearing this, Danzhu fell into thought. After a long while, Danzhu slowly spoke, "Ji Lin, do you want to see the future?"

"... Huh?"

This simulation has ended.

[Simulated settlement as follows:...]

Liu Bai only glanced at the reward briefly before ignoring it.

He knows almost everything Danzhu Cangxuan know, so the skill rewards are useless. He doesn't lack skill points, though. He mainly just wants to help these two people out.

Moreover, before the simulation ended, he left Fu Hua some advanced Stasis Pod centered around the Keys of Domination... Of course, the materials were recovered.

How Fu Hua uses these Stasis Pod is up to her.

Liu Bai looked up at Mei in the room, recalling a topic from his memory. "Where were we? Activating the backup plan, right?"

"Yes." Mei looked calmly at her teacher, who seemed to be in a daze for a moment. "It's time to release those people. I remember that the former headquarters of the Moth Chasers to Fire is now the headquarters of the World Serpent, right?"

"Yes, the Golden Courtyard is located within the headquarters... it was previously obscured by mist, and our memories were also hazy at the time. Now that our memories are clear, we should be able to awaken you all."

"Wake up to what?"

Rita clung to the door frame, peeking her head out from the side with a smile.

Would you mind telling me about it?

"I really mind. Do all the Valkyrie of Schicksal like to gnaw on doorframes like this?" Mei was quite annoyed by Rita's infuriating smile.

You sly cat, your end is near!

"Sorry, but I live next door." Despite the sarcasm, Rita's expression remained unchanged.

You two are discussing things with my husband in my best friend's room, and you won't let me hear?

"So, could you say that those so-called 'gentlemen'... are all Previous Era like Mr. Kevin?"

"Yes, Kevin was one of the thirteen strongest warriors from the Previous Era."
