The roar made everyone's eardrums ache, while the ground trembled ever more violently. Hu Shu stared at the dust-filled distance, his heart pounding wildly. Suddenly, a mysterious radiance burst forth from within him, instantly enveloping the surrounding area. A cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind: "Invincible Domain System activated..." This sudden change left Hu Shu both shocked and delighted. Yet he knew full well that the road ahead remained fraught with the unknown.
Hu Shu's gaze anxiously swept across every corner of Shouyang Mountain. That powerful aura drew nearer like dark clouds bearing down from above, as though it could swallow the entire Human Race settlement the very next second. Panic filled his heart as the terrified faces of the Human Race flashed repeatedly before his eyes. If he did not act now, the Human Race would surely perish here.
His feet paced back and forth along the rugged mountain path, his eyes urgently searching the forest, rocks, and sky, trying to find even the slightest means of resistance. The wind howled past his ears like a prelude to death, while the sounds of the distant battle between the witches and demons grew increasingly fierce, as though urging the Human Race toward its doom. Hu Shu's breathing came fast and heavy, every breath filled with tension and anxiety. Sweat soaked his clothes, yet he did not notice it at all.
At that critical moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Hu Shu's mind. He recalled that when he had transmigrated here, he seemed to have brought some mysterious power with him, though he had never noticed it before. With the mindset of trying anything in desperation, Hu Shu focused all his attention and attempted to seek out the power hidden within his body.
In an instant, an even more dazzling mysterious radiance burst from his body. The light spread rapidly as if it were tangible, covering an area of three thousand li around Shouyang Mountain in the blink of an eye. Wherever the radiance reached, the earth that had trembled from the battle between the witches and demons immediately calmed. The wind abruptly ceased, and even the distant clamor of their battle seemed to be shut out.
At the same time, a cold mechanical voice rang clearly in Hu Shu's mind: "Invincible Domain System activated. The host is invincible within the domain. The current domain covers three thousand li around Shouyang Mountain, where the Human Race resides, and may be moved according to the host's will. The domain can be upgraded by completing system tasks and helping the Human Race survive the Great Calamity."
Hu Shu's eyes widened, filled with delight and disbelief. This sudden system was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, allowing him to see hope for saving the Human Race. He raised his head and looked toward the area shrouded in light, feeling the mysterious and powerful force within it. An unprecedented confidence surged in his heart.
A glimmer of hope also ignited in the Human Race's previously despairing eyes. They looked at the mysterious light enveloping Shouyang Mountain as though they were seeing an indestructible barrier. Some began to pray softly, while others gathered around Hu Shu, their eyes filled with admiration and anticipation.
Hu Shu took a deep breath and tried to calm his excited heart. Although the system's activation had granted him invincible power within the domain, he knew clearly that this was only the beginning. He knew almost nothing about this system. How was he supposed to use its power to save the Human Race? How was he supposed to lead them, step by step, toward strength in this Primordial World where danger lurked everywhere? These questions weighed upon his heart like heavy boulders.
Hu Shu lowered his head and looked at the land beneath his feet. The outline of the Human Race settlement was clearly visible beneath the radiance. He quietly clenched his fists, and his gaze grew resolute. No matter how many hardships and obstacles lay ahead, since Heaven had bestowed this system upon him, he would surely take up the responsibility of protecting the Human Race.
At that moment, Shouyang Mountain was utterly silent, with only the mysterious radiance flowing slowly through the air. Hu Shu stood within the light, but his thoughts had already drifted into the distance as he considered what to do next. Behind him, the people of the Human Race waited silently, placing all their hopes upon Hu Shu.
