Does the True Source Not Exist, or Has It Never Been Far Away?

Is there any need to hesitate? Wang Xuan thought there was no need to think, and blurted out. "Of course I hope you can win."

"Do you think she's so stunningly beautiful that you're so eager for me to train her and you?" Demon Lord Yanyan walked forward, holding an umbrella.

A straightforward answer, ironically, caused a problem? Wang Xuan's honest side immediately came out, and he said, "Then Sister Yan, you should just admit defeat."

The demon lord, with her flowing black hair and ethereal beauty, glared at him as she turned her head and said, "You've got some nerve! But my strength won't allow me to lose."

"A mature Super Creature is not enough to represent your identity. I can roughly guess that you are one of the top powerhouses in this mythical civilization." The blue-haired woman stepped out of the pillar of light, wearing a slightly modern blue metallic battle suit that clung to her body, outlining her beautiful and slender figure.

"I'm really looking forward to it. Super Creature as powerful as you must have an incredibly amazing bloodline, which might change the course of our experiments." The blue-haired woman smiled brightly.

"It really is you. I had contact with you many years ago." The Demon Lord was not angry. On the contrary, he calmed down and flew gracefully into the sky to face those people.

"Everyone, she may be one of the strongest Supernatural Being in this galaxy. Guard the four sides and don't let her escape," the blue-haired woman shouted.

In an instant, the VIPs emerged from the pillar of light, hovering in all directions, blocking all escape routes.

"Such a powerful Super Creature is very difficult to capture. It must be because the Myth Will Fade. She escaped from the half-matter, half-energy plane. This is a rare opportunity!" The blue-haired woman smiled, becoming more and more interested. She looked at the Demon Lord and then at Wang Xuan, as if she were examining the best spoils of war.

"A top-tier mature Super Creature, she is supremely powerful in the Supernatural Domain. I suggest contacting the Divine Ship and destroying this ancient vessel and her directly." The mechanical bird secretly offered its advice, showing a ruthless side at this crucial moment, fearing unforeseen circumstances.

"The Divine Ship has lost its way. Besides, there is a powerful mothership in this star system that can destroy our spaceship. We cannot make a move," a man replied, telling it to keep quiet.

"You look somewhat familiar." Demon Lord Yanyan became even more peaceful, not taking the blue-haired woman's words to heart, and even becoming more relaxed.

As she spoke, she pointed her hand into the air, and a female elf appeared, dressed in blue armor, graceful and holy.

The blue-haired woman's expression changed slightly, but she still responded, saying, "She is my mother."

"As expected, she's from that civilized place. More than two thousand years ago, I made her cry, and she fled." Demon Lord Yanyan laughed and said, "I didn't expect her daughter to come again. Will she cry too?"

In that era, the Supernatural World flourished, and rules intertwined with the Real World. Beings close to Ascension to Immortality could walk in the starry sky and fight warships with their bare hands, tearing the hull apart.

The expressions of the distinguished guests present changed; had they encountered one of the leaders of this mythical civilization?

The Demon Lord Yanyan continued, "You are a hybrid being with bloodlines from humans, elven royalty, and immortals. Of course, your origin is the Ghost Spirits, a small group of people who are technologically advanced but seem to be lost in a chaotic spacetime."

Wang Xuan was stunned. The Demon Lord deduced the origins of this group of people and learned about their background and origins.

The spirits are mysterious and come in many forms. Some are terrifying creatures that devour the primordial spirit, while others are mysterious and powerful mothership masters who can tame mythical creatures.

However, those "Technological Dreadful Spirits" seem to exist in a parallel universe, sometimes visible but difficult to reach. In another galaxy, they have entered the Real World and reproduced.

Across from them, a man spoke up, revealing their origins without any attempt at concealment; his voice echoed through the sky.

"That small group of people, well, they are one of the sources of our bloodline. They got lost and couldn't return to their original universe. They struggled to manifest in our star system and left behind descendants. To be precise, we have little to do with them anymore. We have absorbed the essence of various excellent bloodlines and abandoned their original path. There are not many of their giant ships left, not necessarily more than yours. The path we take is a combination of effective and practical technology and mythology, pursuing a higher level of life leap, which must first be based on achieving immortality."

The blue-haired woman spoke up, "Of course, we are just one branch of the descendants left behind by that small group of people. There is another branch, which made a different choice from us. They took the pure technology route and disappeared into deep space, never to be seen again."

She added, "So, having said all that and understood each other's backgrounds, let's continue our friendly exchange about our Supernatural Civilization."

"How do we communicate?" the Demon Lord asked with a faint smile.

"Of course, we'll ask you two to leave. Especially since we didn't expect to encounter such a powerful individual as you. You are the best bloodline prototype. After your offspring mutate, they will get closer and closer to our goal," the blue-haired woman said.

When the topic turned to this near-criminal act of capturing, breeding offspring, and then acquiring mutated bloodlines, she actually laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately understood that this camp's experiment was similar in approach to the young man from the deceased he met at the Time-Space Bar — Zhang Qifan, a researcher in a white coat—but it should go even further.

The Demon Lord Yanyan did not react, but coldly asked, "Is this the path you take to continue your Supernatural Civilization?"

"It's just one of our plans, but the expected results are good," a man said, a diamond-shaped crystal glowing between his eyebrows.

The blue-haired woman said, "I know that your mythological civilization has appeared several times. When each Supernatural Civilization is about to die out, it is searching for Real Substance, believing that the existing Supernatural World is just an illusion. It wants to excavate a real world that can make the myth last forever."

She smiled and said, "However, is there such a thing as a real world? There never has been. Even if there were, it would only be the world before our eyes, the scenery around us. Reality is right here and now, but you are looking for something far away instead of what is close at hand."

The man beside her echoed, "You've gone astray. You always think there's a grand Mythological World stretching across the unknown, waiting for you to find and discover it. In reality, it's all just your most beautiful aspirations. People should cherish the present moment; that's the truth. The Great World you're pursuing is just an illusion that doesn't exist."

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He felt that it made sense, and besides, it seemed like he had heard it somewhere before.

Soon, he thought of his mother, who had said the same thing to him on the phone last time. Fang Yuzhu, who lived next door to him, must have heard it.

"Since it hasn't been discovered yet, who can say it doesn't exist? Can you prove it's nonexistent?" Demon Lord Yanyan remained calm and unaffected, because she hadn't placed all her bets on a world where myths could truly endure; she was letting things take their course.

The blue-haired woman said, "Our ancestors, that small group of people who came out of the chaotic space-time, also studied mythology and knew that some special Super Creature were trying to get closer to Real Substance and had excavated the Good Fortune True Crystal, but in fact, they still had no results."

This made Wang Xuan frown. The part of the ghostly spirit related to Brilliant Technology had also denied that there was any real source. In fact, he himself had doubts about the Land of Nothingness and didn't know what he would see after passing through the meteorite passage.

As for that small group of people who emerged from the distorted timeline, let's call them Technological Dreadful Spirits for now. Some of their remarks are still worth Wang Xuan's attention.

"The truth is right before your eyes; this is the present world. What you yearn for and desperately pursue is the most illusory and somewhat laughable thing." The blue-haired woman smiled as she mocked the Demon Lord Yanyan.

She further stated, "Therefore, the breakthroughs we have chosen are the most likely directions to Extend Life the lives of the extraordinary. Seeking help from the outside world is far less effective than seeking help from within ourselves. We should cultivate among the mutated offspring of Super Creature and decipher the highest secrets of life level leaps. This is the true path."

"That makes sense." Demon Lord Yanyan nodded. "When we cultivate immortality, we are actually seeking within ourselves, achieving the sublimation of life, and transforming into a higher form. But what if one day the world tells you that the rules of life leap have changed, and everything in the past is no longer feasible, completely ineffective? It's like cutting off your path from the source, taking away everything you have. In such an environment, do you think it makes sense to remove the firewood under the pot and then improve the quality of your own pot and water? Without attracting a new heat source, can you still heat it up? You cultivate a powerful bloodline, but without mythical substances to use, how can you demonstrate your extraordinary abilities?"

Wang Xuan realized that what the Demon Lord said made sense. In this terrible era of Great Universe Error Correction and in this era of change, it is not necessarily a bad thing that Supernatural Civilization have disputes and conflicts!

"No, we are analyzing the inner potential of life, opening up a new myth..."

The two sides actually started arguing.

"What's the point of saying all that? Their Supernatural Civilization offers us no inspiration anymore. Exchanging ideas won't make much difference. Let's capture her and take her away to cultivate a super bloodline!" someone said, no longer wanting to argue.

"Sister, are you going to cooperate on your own, or wait for me to do it?" the blue-haired woman smiled.

"Where is your mother? Do you want to cry with her?" Demon Lord Yanyan smiled faintly. She had beaten her mother back then, and now she was meeting her daughter. It was quite interesting.

"My mother focuses on discussion and research, but lacks practical experience, so it's inevitable that she'll suffer losses. I will make up for her regrets and bring you back," the blue-haired woman said.

"Stop!" Wang Xuan said, "I would like to ask, in the depths of the universe, were those so-called Golden Ranking and Main Ranking established by you?"

"We're just one of the parties involved. If you want to know more, come with us. I can tell you slowly." The blue-haired woman didn't give a complete answer.

"Were all the Transcendent Immortals in this ancient spaceship killed by you?" The Demon Lord's expression turned cold as he asked this crucial question.

A man responded, denying it, saying, "Not really. This is just a small battlefield in an inter-domain war. They were no match for me and were killed; they can't blame anyone else. This is just a small platform. If you can defeat me today, you can obtain it and use it to contact extraterrestrial civilizations. Just like some lost lands in your star system, acquiring the corresponding platform allows you to participate in inter-domain wars and gain many benefits. In general, they are all striving to find a feasible way to Extend Life as extraordinary beings."

"There's nothing more to say then. Come on, let's make you and your daughter cry together, that would be interesting!" The Demon Lord soared into the air, closing in on his opponent.

The blue-haired woman snorted coldly and went straight to meet the enemy.

The mechanical bird cried out, "Distinguished guests, what are you all waiting for? I suggest we all attack together and let her take on all of you one-on-one. Let's take her down first!"

"Hmm, that makes some sense. To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's take down the strongest among these Super Creature first!" someone echoed.

Seven distinguished guests gathered together, ready to hunt down the Demon Lord Yanyan!

Wang Xuan's expression changed. Even if the Red-clothed Demon Immortal was powerful, she might not be able to withstand it. If so many "distinguished guests" with extremely high backgrounds attacked together, it would be difficult to resist.

The Demon Lord stood in the center of the battlefield, glanced at the distant sky, and remained calm.

"That makes sense, let's all go together!" Someone spoke from the horizon, and then a beam of light shone over, revealing Old Zhang!

Then, a crimson light shot into the sky from another direction, Nether Blood Sect Ancestor walked over, muttering, "There shouldn't be anyone here impersonating me, right?"
