"Anyway, recently..."

"The dragon veins are stirring; the Pangu Tomb is about to open..."

"The other side will come sooner or later..."

"They'll trace it back to us..."

On one side, the twin sisters, Jiang Wanxi and Jiang Wanru, who looked very similar and were dressed in black and white Miao costumes, exchanged words in low voices, giving each other cold looks as they spoke to their fellow disciples who were fighting amongst themselves.

"We have endured three tribulations and five tribulations, and finally received the baptism of the immortal light of Kunlun, ascending to the Heavenly Realm. Five hundred years have passed since we left this world, and the situation of Shenzhou is now vastly different from what it used to be."

"Rumor has it that remnants of the Earth Clan reside here, and even the princes of the Norse gods once wandered here. For the sake of the Emperor Lord's grand plan, caution is paramount."

"We are only one step away from achieving perfect enlightenment. Anyone who obstructs my path to enlightenment will be my mortal enemy!"

The Fifth Seat, Ling Shuang, with her snow-white hair and eyelashes as clear as jade, exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay. Her indifferent gaze made the six people feel no warmth at all.

This is the most talented person under my master, the only one who has comprehended the [Great Void Sword God]. Even after working with her for five hundred years, in this person's eyes there is still only the sword, only her Dao.

"Alright, fellow senior brothers and sisters, please calm down. The failure of the artificial dragon blood strategy doesn't mean there aren't other options..."

"As long as we obtain the treasures from Pangu Tomb before the great calamity befalls Shenzhou, we can surely avert disaster and stabilize our land..."

"However, it seems they've already set their sights on us, and what we lack most right now is time..."

Dressed in a simple white robe and with her hair styled in a woman's bun, Qin Suyin, the seventh seat attendant, smiled gently with a touch of friendliness as she explained the situation, reassured everyone, and pointed them in the right direction.

"Buy time? That's easy..."

"The earth's Earth Qi originates from the Ancestral Vein. If we simply sever the flow of these veins along a section of the southern coast, it will keep those barbarian tribes busy for a while..."

Old Six Ma Yanqing stroked his chin and beard, as if he had thought of something. He looked up and smiled, revealing a scar on his forehead that looked even more ferocious.

"The change in the Earth Qi could lead to widespread death and destruction if not handled properly. Isn't that too risky?"

Lin Zhaoyu felt a pang of reluctance, her face showing hesitation.

"Don't worry, the place I chose is that monster's territory. As long as it's alive, it will definitely come ashore to maintain the balance of the Earth Qi; that's their mission."

"This provides a perfect opportunity to keep these meddlesome wanderers from the Deno Galaxy and that monster occupied with each other..."

"Back then, I used this very method to wipe out thirteen bandit gangs in the desert. See how good that is..."

"Our opportunity lies in their mutual suspicion; after all, neither of them has a good temper."

The Old Six, Ma Yanqing, spoke in a frenzied tone, with a hint of anticipation for how things would unfold.

"Madman! "Lin Zhaoyu gritted her teeth and frowned. Her original compassionate heart gradually transformed into a quiet demeanor after hearing about Ma Yanqing's arrangements.

People will always die, and we're doing this to save the world, the woman consoled herself.

"Gentlemen, let's begin..."

A muffled murmur, seemingly from nowhere, emanated from the seven individuals. One after another, they took out a stone token from their robes, which flickered and echoed each other. As the swirling clouds beneath the floating platform dispersed, they revealed the winding valley floor, shaped like a dragon.

As the seven sword lights slashed down, a section of the valley floor shattered. Amidst the tremors of the earth, a thunderous wail echoed, as if a giant dragon had its scales torn off and a piece of flesh dug out—a truly horrific sight.

At the same time, in the Weilan eastern Pacific earthquake zone, dozens of underwater volcanoes suddenly erupted, water temperatures rose sharply, undercurrents surged, and large clumps of yellowish-black turbid waves gushed out from the cracks that had opened up the surface.

Due to the spraying of various highly toxic sulfides, the seawater was severely polluted, causing fish and shrimp to flee in droves, while colorful corals and other marine plants could only continue to rot and wither.

"Roar!"

As pollution intensifies, a majestic and savage roar echoes from somewhere on the seabed. Beneath the tumbling boulders, a pair of dark red, vertical serpentine pupils slowly open, along with towering, hard, brownish-black scales.

Supported by its two hind legs, the lizard-like, fat-headed monster stood upright underwater like a human, its angry gaze fixed on the sky above the sea.

The silent roar was trapped underwater, and the monster shimmered with a dark red light from its back to its tail, while intense white light began to gather inside its half-open mouth.

Finally, the monster looked around at the yellow and black sea, lowered its eyelids, and the strange phenomena on its body gradually faded and disappeared.

With the sway of its thick tail, the upright lizard-like monster displayed a flexibility disproportionate to its size, gliding swiftly towards the surface of the sea like a swimming fish.

Heavy rain poured down on the sea, the waves were turbulent and visibility was extremely low. A hideous lizard-like head was gradually approaching the cities along the South Shenzhou Sea coast.

As the monster drew closer to the land, its shadow, at least fifty meters long, pressed down heavily, overlooking the bustling lights of the human city.

P. S.: Finished at 3 PM.

Chapter 704, Section 737: The Pangu Clan

Kunlun Secret Realm, Sword Dancing Ground.

Sword energy surged like a rainbow, piercing through the clouds. Amidst the scattering of light, a young girl with a pale yellow ribbon tied around her hair walked towards the two-courtyard house at the end of the high platform, sword in hand.

"You're back?"

As the door creaked open, Qin Suyin, who was sitting in a grand chair inside reading a book, glanced at her daughter Li Sushang out of the corner of her eye and murmured softly.

"Mother, I've checked. There weren't any valuable clues left at the scene of Shencheng Pharmaceutical. However, the few people in the military camp are very strong; I dare not approach rashly..."

"Yes, go back and rest. The situation is turbulent lately. Your senior uncles are going to seal off the mountain for two months, so don't wander around..."

The mother and daughter spoke with a hint of awkwardness. Li Sushang hesitated for a long time, her fingers twirling at the hem of her clothes, before finally asking about the long-standing confusion she had been carrying.

"Mother, the books say that cultivators should leave the world to help those in distress, but ever since the Tiandao Palace was ordered to descend to the mortal realm, we have been guarding Mount Tai Xu. What is the purpose of this?"

"To help others, you must first help yourself. In this chaotic world, avoid getting involved in karma and focus on honing your sword!"

"But the rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen; we, the sword immortals, must slay demons and eliminate evil..."

"Enough! Have you been listening to too many storytelling performances? The situation is critical; a single move could have far-reaching consequences. If you act recklessly and delay the Emperor Lord's grand plan, can you bear the responsibility?"

Qin Suyin frowned and stared coldly, her slender fingers slapping the table, the sharp sword energy causing the clothes of the mother and daughter to flutter.

In the mid -Ming Dynasty, the Immortal Vermillion Bird founded a sect on Mount Tai Xu, selecting exceptionally talented young men and women as his disciples. The seven disciples each achieved great things and traveled Shenzhou they were revered as the "Tai Xu Seven Swords."

Qin Suyin, though the last of the Seven Swords, initially possessed the highest talent and progressed extremely quickly.

However, due to her youthful ignorance and falling in love, her sword heart was damaged. With no hope left, Qin Suyin eventually married Li Shen, the Immortal Vermillion Bird Chuan, three years after her master, the Fairy Ascension to Immortality, ascended to immortality, and had a daughter Li Sushang.

Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven, but Li Sushang, the daughter, was born with the talent for swordsmanship. At the age of five, she had mastered the family's martial arts and later became a disciple of Ling Shuang, the Old Five the Tai Xu Seven Swords, who had the highest cultivation level.

At the age of fifteen, Li Sushang had already broken through the third level of the Tai Xu Sword Heart, the Bright Mirror Realm, and mastered the Tai Xu Sword Form Twenty-One. She was simply a born sword-wielding prodigy.

With her own sword spirit damaged and nowhere else to turn, Qin Suyin placed all her hopes on her daughter Li Sushang, and was extremely strict with her, forbidding her from touching anything except her sword.

Therefore, even at the age of 15, the gifted Li Sushang could not read many characters and could not finish reading a book. In her spare time, she liked to listen to people tell stories as a pastime.

Later, the girl was fortunate enough to meet a Rakshasa man carrying a white Cross Coffin, and during their journey together, she gleaned from him a great deal of knowledge about the world.

Oh right, that foreign visitor with the high nose, deep-set eyes, and golden hair had a name that didn't sound like someone from the Central Plains... something like Otto. As for his surname, she had long forgotten it.

Although that guy was a quiet and reserved person, Li Sushang got along extremely well with him, and even unconsciously developed a strange stirring in her heart. Before parting, she even handed over her personal sword talisman to him.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her. After that parting, she moved with her mother and her fellow disciples to explore the so-called Kunlun Secret Realm. After undergoing many hardships, she successfully received the baptism of the Kunlun Immortal Light and found the Great Dao.

She and that Rakshasa never had the chance to meet again. The talisman sword that automatically sought its master half a month ago kept her holding onto a sliver of hope for a reunion, which is why she took the initiative to accept the mission to investigate the situation of Shencheng Pharmaceutical.

In the end, Li Sushang gained nothing, only sensing a change in the earth 'Earth Qi, foreshadowing an impending calamity.

However, Qin Suyin, the mother, is seemingly gentle but is actually a stubborn person with an extremely strong desire for control. She especially takes care of Li Sushang's growth, determined to cultivate her into the strongest sword immortal of the Taixu lineage.

It seemed that this disciple of the Immortal Vermillion Bird was still troubled by the damage to her sword heart in the past and hoped to find compensation through her daughter.

Once, when Li Sushang was young, she cried to her father because of the hardship of training. Li Shen just mentioned that martial arts training should be done step by step. Sushang only glanced at her husband, and the young master of a famous family in Sichuan was so frightened by that one look that he was speechless and left in embarrassment, never daring to ask about his daughter's training again.

Unfortunately, his father, Li Shen, had limited talent and passed away before he could receive the baptism of the Kunlun Immortal Light. His mother, Qin Suyin, appeared to be a gentle and kind person in public, but became increasingly stubborn and eccentric behind the scenes.

After a brief silence, Qin Suyin felt a surge of resentment at her husband's lack of ambition. Pointing to the withered portrait of her husband behind her, she spoke in a somber tone.

"To cultivate the Heavenly Dao, one must sever all humanity! You merely went on a long trip, and your heart was bewitched by a Rakshasa demon. How can you repay all the years of training I've given you?"

"Do you really want to end up like your father, dying and disappearing from the world, suffering the torment of endless reincarnation?"

Li Sushang gritted her teeth and, under her mother's coercion, lowered her head, no longer daring to continue promoting the book's ideas of saving the world and helping people, and could only retreat to the next best thing.

"Mother, alright, I won't go out, I'll stay here on Mount Tai Xu, but you should at least tell me what's inside?"

Hearing her daughter soften, Qin Suyin's expression eased slightly. She sat back in her armchair, pondered for a moment, and then opened her eyes in deep thought.

Have you ever heard of the name 'Pangu'?

"The creation of heaven and earth, the birth of all things? Isn't this the creator god of Chinese legend?"

Li Sushang nodded slightly, giving the most basic answer within her understanding to this simple question.

"In fact, Pangu was not a person, but a race, and even more so, the name of an ancient civilization in the universe!"

Through Qin Suyin's detailed explanation, Li Sushang gradually understood why they had returned to the mortal realm from the Tiandao Palace.

In the primordial chaos, before the establishment of Form War, there was a race called the "Pangu Civilization," which was extremely powerful. However, it declined after reaching its peak, attracting the invasion of an unknown force and ultimately being wiped out.

To unravel this mystery, Death God Karl in the Styx Galaxy, once studied the Pangu Civilization from billions of years ago and eventually proposed the theory of "Void Terror".

In other words, no matter how the Main Biological Civilization develops, it will always encounter more powerful uncontrollable forces; under the primary biological technology, it is impossible to transcend the ultimate limit of the civilization dimension.

Simply put, the universe cannot contain the highest intelligence. Intelligence that wishes to transcend the universe and comprehend the unknowable origin is seen as interfering with the fundamental laws and will inevitably face elimination.

Li Sushang paused, turned the page of the book, her expression thoughtful, and whispered to her daughter.

"According to our Tiandao Palace's understanding, the so-called Ultimate Fear is equivalent to [immeasurable eons]."

"This is the final test sent by Heaven to those who defy the laws of life and death, who defy the creation of the world."

P. S.: According to the original setting of "Super God Academy", Death God Karl really did study the decline of the Pangu Civilization and came up with the theory of Ultimate Fear.

Another hole has been filled.

Chapter 705, Section 738: Hua, why is your chest flat?

"In fact, not only the Tiandao Palace, but even all the known gods in the universe share an unspoken understanding of the Ultimate Fear —it definitely exists and is lurking in the darkness, watching us..."

"Therefore, the Asgardian Gods prophesied the fall of the World Tree, the male angels proposed the theory of Doomsday Judgment, and even Buddhism and Daoism on Earth agree with the concept of Nirvana and reincarnation..."

"Every beginning has an end; every glory must come to a close—this is the truth of the development of civilization..."

Qin Suyin seemed to have some feelings to share, and took the opportunity of talking with her daughter to pour out all the thoughts on her mind.

Immediately, the Sword Master of Dyeing Fragrance came to his senses and saw his daughter, who was even more confused than surprised. He couldn't help but sigh slightly at her comprehension beyond swordsmanship and had no choice but to be more straightforward in his answer.

"The Pangu Civilization is the oldest, and perhaps the most brilliant, civilization in the Known Universe, and its level of development even surpasses that of the Four Great Order Bodies."

"Legend has it that its people were not completely wiped out; a portion of their bloodline escaped to the Chiwu Star System, burying their great civilization's legacy on Earth..."

Li Sushang suddenly realized what was happening and punched her left palm with her right fist.

"Kunlun Mountain! Pangu Tomb! The Emperor Lord sent us down to the mortal realm, could it be that he has already determined that the legacy of the Pangu Civilization is about to emerge?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Qin Suyin's expression, which was then replaced by a warm smile.

"That's right. Obtaining the legacy of ancient civilization from Pangu Tomb will not only benefit the Chinese people, but also increase the chances of the Tiandao Palace defeating the immeasurable calamity in the future."

"This is our homeland of China. Your mother and all the senior disciples have come with the utmost sincerity. Now that you know the reason for this trip, you should be reasonable and not act rashly, lest you break your mother's heart."

Despite feeling guilty, Li Sushang was still confused and couldn't help but ask.

"Then why not retrieve the cultural heritage from Pangu Tomb sooner and bring blessings to all living beings?"

Qin Suyin looked troubled and sighed helplessly.

"Pangu Tomb, as the name suggests, is a burial site. Most of the pioneers of these great civilizations hid here, not wanting to be disturbed by outsiders..."

"Even to obtain the inheritance, one would likely need to undergo numerous trials. Currently, we don't even know the exact entrance to Pangu Tomb, so we have no way to begin and can only wait for the right opportunity."

"But don't worry, Chang'er. According to our estimates, the internal energy that sustains Pangu Tomb is nearly exhausted, and it will reappear in the world in two to three months at the latest."

"If this journey is successful, the Tiandao Palace will obtain the legacy of Pangu Civilization and surely regain its prestige, allowing the Lieyang's light to shine throughout the vast universe!"

"At that time, with a flick of the Emperor Lord's finger, the calamities and calamities of Shenzhou homeland will vanish completely, the world will Qiankun and clear, and people will enjoy eternal blessings. Our reunion with your father will be just around the corner. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Li Sushang longed for the bright future her mother described, and nodded vigorously. Then she made a somewhat enthusiastic suggestion.

"By the way, if we don't have enough manpower, I can call Sister Reina and Uncle Pan Zhen to come along, that would be safer!"

However, Qin Suyin, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her expression and grabbed her daughter's arm tightly.

"The Princess is the heir to the Tiandao Palace. Her safety is crucial to the survival of Lieyang Star. She must not be acted upon rashly..."

"General Pan Zhen is a vital asset to the nation, and he also has the responsibility to defend the territory. Without the Emperor Lord's order, he must not abandon his post..."
