Chaos, disorder, terror, and distortion.

This is the Tomb of the Gods, Chen Mu has come to this place for the second time.

There are many entrances to the Tomb of the Gods. This time, Chen Mu did not go to Yang Province, but chose the entrance closest to the Chen Kingdom.

This entrance is located deep in the Wilderness, and few people would choose to enter the Tomb of the Gods from this location.

As a result, the place was extremely desolate, with only desert and rocks as far as the eye could see, and they didn't encounter a single one of those strange and ugly mutated monsters.

"I feel like I've been here before."

The White Turtle looked around and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"This place didn't seem to be like this before."

He leaped into the air, hovering there, gazing into the distance, hoping to find some point of reference to compare with his past memories.

Legend has it that this is a fragment that fell from the Primordial Heavenly Realm during the great war of the gods ten thousand years ago.

Grandpa Turtle, given your longevity, I bet the place you visited was the Primordial Heavenly Realm before the Great War of the Gods.

Chen Mu was sitting cross-legged on the ground, adjusting the runes in his body to adapt to the environment. Seeing the White Turtle's puzzled look, he couldn't help but remind it.

"Oh! So it's a fragment that fell from ' Kunlun '? No wonder it looks so familiar!"

The White Turtle suddenly realized something, and then, as if it had thought of something, it said to Chen Mu.

"Then you wait here for me for a while, I'll go take a look around elsewhere."

Without waiting for Chen Mu's reply, he transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

" Grandpa Turtle is indeed unfathomable."

Chen Mu sighed inwardly. Although this was his second time visiting the Tomb of the Gods, and his strength had improved considerably since then, he still felt very uncomfortable here. The chaotic Rules of Heaven and Earth made every move he made extremely difficult.

As a grandmaster-level talisman master, after taking the time to adapt, he is estimated to be able to unleash 80% of his strength here, which is something that most cultivators would find difficult to achieve.

But after the White Turtle entered, its body was surrounded by a hazy gray power, and the environment here seemed to have no effect on it at all.

This was also Mingye's first time visiting the Tomb of the Gods. Her situation was even worse than Chen Mu's. Her strength had been suppressed to only about 30% of its original level. If it weren't for the Netherworld Pearl protecting her, things might have been even more difficult.

Chen Mu set up an array around the area and transmitted his insights to Mingye's Auxiliary Intelligence Brain via data stream. Mingye then gradually comprehended and absorbed the information, greatly increasing her efficiency in adapting to this environment.

Chen Mu himself adapted in less than half an hour, but to help Mingye adapt, he stayed there for more than three hours until Mingye could exert more than 50% of his strength before they stopped.

"Let's stop here for now! We can get used to the rest gradually over time. Let's go find Grandpa Turtle."

Mingye's adaptation had reached a bottleneck, and he could not improve his strength in a short time, so they set off to find the White Turtle.

With a whoosh, the two of them took to the air and transformed into two streaks of light, flying rapidly.

Chen Mu stopped using the spaceship for transportation. The spaceship's parts were too intricate, and operating it in this environment consumed a lot of Spirit Stone. It was more efficient to fly by himself.

The White Turtle carried Chen Mu's communication Rune Artifacts. As long as the distance wasn't too far, Chen Mu could sense its location, so Chen Mu quickly arrived near the White Turtle's location.

Boom! Crack!

The White Turtle was located deep in a desolate mountain range, where dark clouds loomed and lightning flashed. Even Chen Mu, with his cultivation level, felt danger upon approaching.

"Such terrifying demonic energy! A God Level figure must have perished here."

Chen Mu sensed a dense demonic aura, which originated from the same source as the demonic aura of the Abyss Devil Race. It seemed that the Abyss Devil Race had also participated in the war of the gods ten thousand years ago, otherwise, how could a demon god of the Abyss Devil Race have perished here?

These demonic energies, carrying a strong yin and evil aura, easily attract the most yang and powerful lightning from the sky, which is why this mountain range is surrounded by lightning all year round, making it extremely dangerous.

"It's too dangerous in the air, let's go down and walk!"

Chen Mu called to Mingye to land on the ground. The two used the laws of space to Shrinking the Ground to an Inch way that was slightly slower than flying, but it reduced a lot of danger.

After a while, they finally reunited with the White Turtle. The White Turtle's palm touched the ground, and it was using earth elemental Spiritual Power to explore the surroundings, seemingly searching for something.

"You guys come and help too! If I remember correctly, this used to be the Old Cai family's secret room."

That old fox is always cunning; he might have buried some treasure here.

The White Turtle explored the area with practiced ease, seemingly having done this kind of thing many times before.

Who is Old Cai? Is he Grandpa Turtle's good friend?

Chen Mu acted swiftly, immediately releasing dozens of exquisitely crafted Talisman Puppet spiders from his storage ring. These Talisman Puppet spiders nimbly burrowed into the ground upon contact with the earth.

This was his second time visiting the Tomb of the Gods, and he knew very well that his senses would be severely suppressed here. Therefore, he had prepared a large number of reconnaissance Talisman Puppet to facilitate exploration and searching.

The rules here in the Tomb of the Gods are chaotic, and ordinary magical artifacts and puppets are easily damaged by the environment once they are used.

However, the Talisman Puppet that Chen Mu prepared this time were all modified by him according to the environment here. Their durability is much stronger than that of ordinary puppets, and they can be used normally for several days without any problems.

" Old Cai once received guidance from the master, so in a way he can be considered your senior brother."

His real name is Cai Gen, and his true form is a golden leek; he is one of the Innate Gods.

After exploring for a long time without finding anything familiar, the White Turtle had no choice but to leap to a different spot and continue its exploration.

"Can chives become gods? And what are Innate Gods?"

Although Chen Mu was well-versed in various classic texts, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a strange deity.

Haha, there's a lot you don't know!

The White Turtle turned to look at Chen Mu, stroked its beard, and laughed heartily as it explained.

"After Pan Emperor created this world, the first batch of beings born from the essence of the world's origin were called Innate Gods."

Each Innate Gods is different; they each inherited different abilities from Pan Emperor. For example, Cai Gen possesses extremely tenacious vitality; even if he were cut into hundreds of pieces, he could recover in a very short time.

"If he's that powerful, then doesn't that mean he's immortal?"

Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise.

"To mortals, calling him immortal would indeed be an understatement. But among the gods, this ability is of little use."

At his lowest point, he was even imprisoned by other powerful beings and indiscriminately harvested as food.

Fortunately, he later met his master, who saw his kind heart and taught him how to use runes. Only then did he escape his exploited fate and gain a place in Kunlun Heaven.

Later, he was also hailed by the common people as the Vegetable God of God of Ten Thousand Vegetables.
