The Girl with Yellow Ribbon nodded blankly. Following her senior uncle's instructions, she immediately crushed the sword talisman that Di Lena had given her.

Although most of the energy of the Gate of the Heavenly Realm was used to break through Pangu Tomb, her good sister, as the second-generation successor of the main god of Lieyang Star, had high-level authority to mobilize all resources.

If we hold on for just a moment, Di Lena will arrive on Earth in a flash to provide assistance.

But with her mother dead and her two senior martial uncles also tragically killed, and now Kunlun filled with demonic beasts, all these changes were too sudden. The girl, who had lived under Qin Suyin's control and protection for a long time, had no time to adjust her mindset. Therefore, she let Ma Yanqing's arrangements go as they pleased.

"These Mythical Beasts are acting so wildly; they must be trying to break the seal and rush into the human world!"

"If this continues, the Gate of the Heavenly Realm will be destroyed sooner or later, and the Emperor Lord's grand plan for ten thousand years will be ruined."

"Let's use the Gate of the Heavenly Realm to open a passage to the human world. This is a great calamity for all living beings, and it's beyond human control, so let's leave it to fate."

Ma Yanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and as he pondered, a feigned sigh appeared on his scarred face.

The only reason someone as arrogant and reckless as him has lived so long is because he's careful.

As early as when Ma Yanqing used the Gate of the Heavenly Realm to blast open a gap in Pangu Tomb's Tomb, driving away wolves and tigers and hindering the monster's pursuit.

He thought of a way to coerce Li Sushang into seeking help from Di Lena on the one hand, and on the other hand, how to continue diverting the trouble eastward if the situation got out of control.

As the only male among the seven sword masters, and Winner in life who married Lin Zhaoyu, the first disciple of the Immortal Vermillion Bird, his ability to understand people's hearts is actually far superior to that of these women.

The person claimed to be of the same lineage as his master, Immortal Vermillion Bird, and that he reacted violently when he saw them extracting dragon blood, indicating that he was there primarily for matters concerning the mortal realm.

Since that's the case, even if the Mythical Beasts cannot stop his progress, he can simply lead these monsters to the human world, which will naturally buy them enough time for the Heavenly Palace to descend.

"Every man for himself, or the world will punish him." To achieve immortality, he even killed his master who stood in his way. No matter how noble his words may sound, how could a group of mortals separated by thousands of years care?

Although he was well aware of his selfishness and didn't care much about hiding it, he needed to consider the feelings of these women.

At this moment, the Miao sisters and Ling Shuang indeed relaxed, nodded, and consciously looked away from the Gate of the Heavenly Realm.

Clearly, Ma Yanqing's malicious intentions had long been aligned with theirs, but no one was willing to be the first to step forward and take the blame.

But Ma Yanqing, who had worked with these women for a thousand years, was more inclined to believe that they were mostly trying to avoid being held accountable by the Emperor Lord if the situation escalated.

These women, despite having done all sorts of bad things and being even more ruthless than him, insist on portraying themselves as pure and innocent beauties.

What a perfect example of someone who wants to have his cake and eat it too! What were the two phrases Pan Zhen once used in private?

Yeah, a bunch of bitches! Fucks!

As Ma Yanqing drew the sword talisman to connect with the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, he secretly grumbled to himself.

At this moment, as the Gate of the Heavenly Realm gradually pierced through the layers of space, Li Sushang looked towards the end of the passage.

As the girl noticed the increasingly thinner Spatial Barrier, she realized that the densely populated steel city was about to be anchored and bridged with the Mythical Beasts. She was filled with doubt and her expression was one of reluctance.

"Have you forgotten the great hatred your mother suffered?! It's all thanks to these ignorant mobs!"

"We have gone through countless hardships to descend upon this land, all for the sake of bringing blessings to the Nine Provinces. Yet they not only treat us with malice but also arbitrarily kill the divine messengers and set their sights on Pangu Tomb and the Gate of the Heavenly Realm!"

"If the Emperor Lord were to find out, he would be enraged, and these mortals would surely be reduced to ashes by the Yang Flame Calamity!"

"Now, letting them reap what they sow will appease His Majesty's anger, and only then will we have a chance to plead with the Emperor Lord!"

Ma Yanqing, with his keen eyesight, quickly discerned Li Sushang's thoughts and earnestly tried to dissuade her with a cold snort.

Due to their hasty ascension and their relationship with their master, Immortal Vermillion Bird, they found themselves in an awkward position within the Tiandao Palace.

The only trump card that could change the situation was Li Sushang, who had connected with Di Lena. Ever since Ma Yanqing pushed Qin Suyin to take the fall, he had been thinking of controlling this little girl and indirectly profiting from her.

Li Sushang was protected too perfectly, which resulted in this little girl having only swords and a monotonous life for thousands of years, while retaining her Oldest One chivalrous spirit.

To win this girl's favor and indirectly control her, you must be careful about your words and actions before the relationship is established.

After Ma Yanqing's persuasion about "the greater good of revenge" and "the sake of the common people," Li Sushang, who already lacked much of her own opinion, silently nodded.

The Four Great Sword Masters sneered and nodded inwardly, continuing to carve out spatial passages and divert the trouble eastward.

But at the same time, Kevin, who had disappeared from the mountainside, disregarded helping his old friend clean house and instead went against the flow of space, jumping into the gap.

Because he actually sensed Fu Hua's aura inside Pangu Tomb! Moreover, there seemed to be a dense Primordial Qi surrounding her!

P. S.: I can't add an extra chapter today. Power keeps going out during the busy farming season in the countryside. I've almost finished the work, and I'm going to my uncle's house in the city for shelter tomorrow. I'll try my best to add more chapters and build up a stockpile. Thanks to reader @BoredSingleUncle4Blades for urging me to update.

Book Recommendation: <I, the Leader of Heroic Spirit>

I've been transported to the modern Pokémon world, but the system I'm given is that of Heroic Spirit Pokémon?

It's you I choose, Kojiro, Swallow Return.

Saber, jump away, use the Wind King Hammer, then gather your power and prepare to use your Noble Phantasm!

Come forth, Tiamat, the first-order goddess, mother who controls life and the sea, and melt your enemies into your love.

Years later, the world's strongest Pokémon Master Mikanaka, recalled what happened that afternoon.

Unable to hold back his tears, he sobbed uncontrollably, his back and knees aching.

He kept repeating one sentence. "Humans cannot, or at least should not."

Chapter 777, Section 813: The Pangu Clan's Off-Track Techniques

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Flame Greatsword slashed across the sky, and a group of Zhu Yan, with bodies like apes, white heads, and red feet, were chattering as they charged toward the spatial rift directly in front of them.

Suddenly, a dark red light flashed, seemingly severing the mortal world. The bodies of many Zhu Yan froze in mid-air, their ferocious expressions instantly solidified, and then they were separated diagonally in two.

However, the two pieces of the body did not fall to the ground. Dark red flames spread upwards and downwards from the wounds, instantly burning the body parts to ashes and scattering them.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Amidst the sharp screams, the group of ape-like monsters with stiff, needle-like hair scrambled to avoid the oncoming sword light.

Kevin moved swiftly, no longer concealing his strength. He unfurled his three pairs of wings, and the Herrscher Core of each attribute activated accordingly.

Wherever the Skyfire Greatsword passed, it stirred up a bloody storm, with severed limbs flying everywhere. In the blink of an eye, he had killed dozens, even hundreds, of the monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Driven by their biological instincts, the slaughtered monsters scurried into side passages, each trying to avoid the carnage.

They preferred to follow ferocious mythical Mythical Beasts that carved out Spatial Rift rather than confront the swordsman head-on.

Due to the impact of the [Gate of the Heavenly Realm] on the heart of the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Power of Space are in disarray, and the energy structure within it is difficult to fully analyze in a short period of time.

Although Kevin was anxious, he had no choice but to abandon the convenient method of spatial travel and resort to violence to compete with these newly "released" Mythical Beasts for passage.

The deeper you go, the more complex the spatial structure becomes, with main and secondary roads connecting in all directions, showing signs of artificial definition and stabilization.

The surrounding area is filled with miniature spatial units of all sizes, like a neatly nested honeycomb.

They may seem inconspicuous from the outside, but upon closer inspection, one can perceive that without exception, they are all small, independent ecosystems.

The area contains swamps and rivers, deserts and forests, and volcanic ice seas, making it a suitable habitat for different species.

Space Shrinkage Technology?! The vastness of Mount Sumeru contained in a mustard seed?! Amazing!

Even with just a glimpse, Kevin could see the former glory of the Pangu Civilization.

While Morgana, the Queen of the Demon Civilization, was still researching tactics for using Micro Wormhole to God-Slaying Operation, the Pangu Civilization had already expanded its spatial technology to an even more profound miniaturized level.

To contain Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed— True God!

This technological revolution is something that even Kevin, who controls most of Earth's Space Authority, is only in the initial stages of experimentation with and can only marvel at in awe.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that each spatial unit has a protective film on its outer side, resembling a transparent bubble.

However, most of them were already dim and broken, and the monsters inside had mostly fled. As consciousness deepened, strange characters resembling tadpoles vaguely appeared on the shell of the spatial unit.

Kevin didn't actively interpret them; the meaning simply appeared in his mind. These symbols were more like a tool for communication and mapping of consciousness.

Product Name: [Hua She]...

"Beast Body life Sequence Code: N5947..."

"Genetic origin: Ophiuchus..."

"Belongs to: Ark Experiment Module Unit 3..."

Habitat: water, swamp...

"Characteristics: Manipulates water molecules, alters the ecological environment, possesses putrefactive and toxic properties, and has a strong reproductive capacity..."

"Purpose: Can be used as a support unit, or an environmental modification engineer..."

In that brief exchange of consciousness, the existing records were automatically fed into Kevin's mind, forming a detailed understanding of the residents within the spatial cell.

Subsequently, as Kevin moved through the space, his senses expanded, and because the protective membrane of the spatial cells was broken, fragmented and incoherent information began to be projected into the minds of the outsiders.

"Number N1746, Zhu Yan, sexually tyrannical, loves killing and war, genetic origin Behemoth Star, suitable as a charge unit..."

"Number N792, Lightning Beast, capable of manipulating weather and sound waves, its sound can reverberate for hundreds of miles..."

After breaking through the lower-level area where the code was relatively late, Kevin tore open a spatial membrane with some resistance. The cells on both sides of the passage ahead were basically sorted into the top 500.

Along the way, Kevin, whether by choice or by force, collected information about the centaur Ying Zhao, the Three-legged Golden Crow with rudimentary nuclear fusion capabilities, and more...

There is also information about Mythical Beasts, and Ancient Sorcerer Gods, such as Gonggong the water god, Zhu Rong the fire god, Jumang the wood god, and Xuanming the rain god.

These creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are all included here, and some are dormant, some are attacking the spatial barrier, and some have already escaped.

Seemingly as a privilege reserved for powerful individuals, these monsters are mostly solitary creatures, without any concept of a group, each occupying its own space cell.

"Number N16: Nine-Tails Fox, ever-changing, capable of devouring and bewitching people, gentle in nature, possessing the special ability to ward off evil and bring good fortune..."

"Number N15: The Lingming Stone Monkey, capable of transformation, understanding the seasons, knowing the terrain, shifting stars and changing constellations, with extremely high potential for growth..."

The two adjacent, dilapidated spatial cells in front of him, and the information conveyed within the tadpole-like characters on the cocoon membrane, made the strange look in Kevin's eyes even more intense.

Ali, Sun Wukong... they really are from Kunlun!

As Kevin delved deeper into the mystery, he began to vaguely guess the true nature of the so-called [Pangu Tomb].

This is practically a biochemical experimental base of the Pangu Civilization! According to records, it's most likely a research institute used to synthesize and cultivate special life forms!

The inhabitants of these spatial cells are mostly products of genetic hybridization from different planetary species, as well as the combination of limbs and characteristics.

Therefore, we see creatures like the five-tailed, one-horned Zheng; the Lushu with tiger stripes on its horse's body; and the Xuan Gui with a bird's head, a venomous snake's tail, and an appearance similar to a turtle...

These Beast Body life, which defy the norm of biology, and even those with abstract forms, must have undergone artificial experimentation and cultivation to have so many of them!

Moreover, Kevin had just discovered, through his cursory observation of tens of thousands of spatial cells, that the records included mythical creatures from different mythological systems on Earth.

For example, the Harpy, Jackal God, and Catwoman in Egyptian mythology; the Minotaur and Harpy in Greek mythology; and even werewolves and mermaids in Western folklore.

Kevin suspects that the information in the entire Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas seems to come from scattered experimental data from the Pangu Civilization.

God knows how these things got out of existence.

Wait, something seems to be missing?

Previously, a term seemed to be mentioned here—"beast body... life"?

Damn it! The Form War! That historic event, dominated by the Divine River Civilization, which established their position First Order!

Pangu Civilization! Could the Beast Body life forms that have been wildly expanding and multiplying in the Known Universe after the fall of the Pangu Civilization?

It seems... very likely!

Chapter 778, Section 814: Myth, Beneath the Reality!

If the Pangu Clan was the first civilization in the Known Universe, then according to records, they perished instantly under the arrival of Ultimate Fear, and their civilization system collapsed immediately.

The Mythical Beasts and Ancient Sorcerer Gods in the laboratory will escape due to the malfunction of the containment system.

These species all possess animal characteristics and also contain some legacies left by the Pangu Civilization.

When advanced civilizations in the universe fall, the experimental subjects have unique advantages. It is understandable that they want to replace the Pangu Clan as the civilization leader and dominate the world.

The expansion of the Beast Body Civilization provoked resistance from the Divine River Civilization, which possessed biological characteristics similar to those of the Pangu Clan.

Perhaps, in the exploration of Pangu Tomb in different Star Domain, the Divine River Body Life and the technological products of the Pangu Civilization have greater compatibility.

Therefore, despite their superior physical abilities, the Beast Body life were utterly defeated in the Form War!
