Shes just a girl that’s only known one thing and it’s kept her alive this far but she isn’t living in the same world we do, in fact she hasn’t for a very long time

In the year 3071, Mankind discovered how to evolve on their own and what they can evolve as, after hearing this many people let out cries of protest as this was inhumane however, most people welcomed it. This gave way to a new civilization, the evolutionary race. Billions of years later as, technology has advanced so much, so as what you can evolve as. Austin Lohe had started off his examination expected the worst, but he got what he didn't expect. Watch as Austin travels the universe in hopes to find out who he is, who his parents were and his evolution images.

The imperial city wasn't far from this place, which was around a four hours journey. The imperial city was massive, and at least tens of thousands of Heaven Monarchs were inside. The entire imperial city was also constructed by wood, and even so, they had gorgeous appearance. The whole place was filled with lush green leaves, fresh flowers, and ancient trees—making one feel as though they entered a giant fairy's city.
Jiang Yi didn't have the mood to appreciate the scenery as he followed Tuoba Qin into the great hall in the center of the large castle. Inside there was an ancient large array. Without instructions from Tuoba Qin, over a dozen elders were waiting by the side of the array. Tuoba Qin nodded to Jiang Yi and said, "I just need a drop of fresh blood from this little one."
Jiang Yi took out the Thearch Palace and teleported the little fox out. This little fox had been asleep all the time, and Jiang Yi simply tossed the little fox to Tuoba Qin.
"Activate the ancestor's array!"
Tuoba Qin yelled out while all the elders struck out white demonic energy at the same time. That array's blurry pattern lit up which was carved with pictures of spirit foxes. All the five-tailed, six-tailed spirit foxes seemed as though they came alive, and they were all rushing out to form an image. They were dancing high above the hall and were roaring out silently. In a single glance, there were at least thousands of foxes, and there were close to 100 six-tailed foxes.
"So mystical!"
Jiang Yi was silently shocked. These fix-tailed and six-tailed Heaven Foxes might not have any aura presences, but those icy cold eyes still caused Jiang Yi's heart to palpitate. If these Heaven Foxes were alive, they would definitely be Heaven Foxes at the Demon Thearch and Demon Sovereign Realms.
Tuoba Qin used one hand to grab onto the little fox's paw while her other hand radiated with essence force. She then gently drew across the little fox's paw, causing a few strands of fox fur to drop off while a few drops of blood dripped from the little fox's paw. Tuoba Qin then casually swung and sent those drops of blood into the great array.
Buzz!
The images of the foxes in the array all lit up brightly and started an even faster dance. Many foxes were roaring silently while their fur was all standing straight, emitting powerful beast prowess and giving off this oppressive aura.
Tuoba Qin gently tossed the little fox over towards Jiang Yi. She closed her eyes, and her hands were glowing with demonic energy as she was preparing to activate the great array, using it to detect the little fox's mother, the Demon Empress' aura presence.
Buzz!
Right at this moment…!
Something strange happened. The little fox, which was asleep for many years, suddenly opened its eyes. Its pearl-like eyes were misty as its body involuntarily flew into the great array. All the fix-tailed and six-tailed fox images were flying into the body of the little fox. In just a blink of the eye, dozens of fox images had rushed into the little fox's body!
"My god, the divine ancestors' soul seeds are actually vanishing?"
"Ah? Why is such a thing happening?"
"Thearch, we need to stop it quickly, this little fox is devouring the divine ancestors' soul seeds!"
"Little fox, stop devouring the divine ancestors' soul seeds, or we will kill you without mercy!"
"…"
The elders were all flabbergasted, and they were getting exasperated as they yelled out sternly. A few of the elders were actually preparing to make a move. Tuoba Qin was also filled with an astonished expression as she stopped everything and shouted, "Everyone is not to move. This little fox must be extraordinary to be able to devour the divine ancestor's soul seeds. She might have a minute amount of divine lineage in her bloodline. Otherwise, she would be able to devour the divine ancestors' soul seeds. Everyone is to observe before making any actions!"
"This…"
Jiang Yi was also anxious as the little fox's sudden change was truly frightening him. He had a very good relationship with the little fox, and he had promised the Demon Empress to take good care of it. Since Tuoba Qin had said it, he didn't dare to many any reckless movements and looked at Black Deity and Qianqian.
Black Deity's eyes lit up with black light as he took a few closer looks at the little fox and said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to the little fox. It is actually a great opportunity for it."
Qianqian nodded and transmitted a message: "Jiang Yi, your little fox is getting a great deal. These so-called soul seeds should be mystical demonic energy left behind by the Heaven Fox's previous generation experts using a powerful ability. If the little fox can absorb this demonic energy, it would definitely be able to evolve in a short period of time. This time, it might even evolve into a Demon Thearch or even a… Demon Sovereign!"
"Demon Sovereign?"
Jiang Yi blinked his eyes, but he still had this grave expression. He didn't bother about the little fox's strength as long as it was safe and sound.
The little fox was floating in the array, and its eyes were dazzled. Its body slowly revolved while the Heaven Fox images were burying into its body.
Less than ten minutes later—after almost 1000 fox images rushed into the little fox's body, the little fox stopped revolving and suspended peacefully in the array.
"Ji-Ji~Ji!"
Suddenly, the little fox was crying out with pain, and its eyes were filled with agony. Its tiny body was trembling violently while its clear eyes were looking around. After seeing Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu, its eyes flashed with white light; and two messages appeared in Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu's mind.
"Big Brother, Xiao Fei is so uncomfortable, quickly save me!"
"Big Sister Xiaonu, quickly save me."
Buzz!
Jiang Yi's body flourished with aura presence and wanted to rescue Xiao Fei while disregarding everything. The back of Jiang Xiaonu's dress had burst open as a pair of wings appeared while her green claws emerged as she rushed towards Xiao Fei immediately with brimming killing aura.
"Get back here!"
Black Deity's body flashed as he appeared behind Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu with horrific speed and grabbed onto them. He then yelled out harshly, "Don't move, or you will be killed by the great array."
"En?"
Jiang Xiaonu's eyes flashed with green light as her claw was about to slash at Black Deity ruthlessly. She didn't care so much as she only wanted to rescue Xiao Fei. If anyone dared to obstruct her, she would kill that person.
"Xiaonu, stop!"
Jiang Yi was shocked. If Black Deity was to get infuriated, he could simply extinguish Jiang Xiaonu with a single move.
Jiang Xiaonu's claws were already approaching Black Deity's neck. After hearing Jiang Yi's words, it forcefully stopped while Black Deity's eyes revealed a trace of mockery. He spoke to Jiang Xiaonu with a cold voice, "Little lass, your temperament is rather fiery uh? Do you believe, this one can kill you with a glare?"
"Lord Black Deity, please calm down. Xiaonu is just ignorant!"
Jiang Yi quickly spoke with an apologetic smile while Qianqian mediated and said, "Uncle Black, you should be magnanimous and don't be petty with Little Sister Xiaonu."
"Hmph!"
Black Deity let out a cold grunt and withdrew his hand while Jiang Yi pulled Jiang Xiaonu as he was afraid she might act rashly again. The two of them looked towards the center and had bewildered eyes.
"Ji-Ji…" 
The little fox was still crying out while suffering, but its body lit up with rainbow radiance while its body was getting bigger. Its three tails suddenly split open in the middle as another tail slowly emerged.
"Heavens!"
"This little one is evolving!"
"Could this little fox be the legendary Divine Fox who possesses the divine bloodlines? Otherwise, how could it devour the divine ancestors' soul seeds and evolve?"
The elders were all filled with alarm as they muttered non-stop while Tuoba Qin's eyes were flourishing with radiance and had an excited expression. She waved her hand and yelled out, "Everyone is to keep quiet and don't affect the Divine Fox from evolving!"
At the same time, she looked at the little fox with gentle eyes and said, "Little one, don't worry, you are not in danger. You are just evolving. We are all members of your race. With us around, you will not have any danger. After you evolve, we will help to look for your mother, okay?"
Jiang Yi also quickly transmitted a message: "Xiao Fei, don't be afraid and concentrate on evolving. We are in Heaven Fox Continent now, and after you finish evolving, we will go look for your Empress Mother together."
The little fox's terrified heart was slowly calming down as Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu were both here, which made it relieved. It then closed its eyes and started to evolve while having peace of mind. Another tail slowly emerged from its back—and then another tail… which caused Tuoba Qin and the others to be ecstatic. Five tails meant the strength of a Demon Thearch. If the little fox grew one more tail, it would be a Demon Sovereign.
… 


From a young age, Jiang Yi suffers humiliation and bullying due to his sealed dantian.
One day, he wakes up to find his seal broken, allowing him to gain incredible powers. With his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Divine Flames, he embarks on a heaven-defying journey.
All territories are mine, all cultivation techniques are mine, same for all treasures.

If humanity treats me unfairly, a million corpses shall lay!
If the heavens treats me unfairly, the heavens shall burn!

Ves brought him images into reality by visualizing their life cycle. The more details he added, the more vivid they behaved.

At some point, they started thinking on their own. His creativity ran out of control and filled in some of the gaps that Ves had unconsciously left behind.

For example, the knight mech yearned to increase its defense. Even as an offensive-oriented mech, it expressed its dissatisfaction with the current design's inadequate armor cover. Ves skimmed off a bit more off its armor plating than usual in order to keep the weight down.

The totem animal on the other hand didn't care so much about the armor. Instead, it yearned for a much more effective offensive kit. Hexapod kings proved their strength not by acting like a turtle, but by threatening its rivals with overwhelming might.

The human myth component of the Triple Division also grew more discordant. The Leading Edge's objection to the design mainly revolved around the staying power of the design. Ves chose to go for a high-impact operation mode in order to make the piloting experience as exhilarating as possible. However, choosing this road obviously used up more energy.

Compounding the problem was that the totem animal showed signs of overpowering the other two images. Ves had unconsciously inflated the hexapod king's tyrannical greed and cruelty to the point where the image almost became capable of contending against the other two images.

While making his images come to life had always been a goal to Ves, their unexpected conflict left him with a dilemma.

Should he stay detached and let them battle it out? Should he forcibly stop the struggle by separating the images? Or would it be best to maintain a tentative equilibrium by manipulating the images behind the scenes?

Ves began his design process with a vision. To allow his images to evolve in an unknown direction meant that he'd be abandoning his initial goals in favor of an uncertain outcome. The X-Factor would transform in a direction that might have a beneficial or detrimental effect to the design.

As much as he wanted to experiment with this new development, Ves decided to stifle it as best he could. His current circumstances didn't allow for too many unexpected surprises.

"It's fine if this happens when I design a virtual mech, but right now I can't risk ruining this design."

Ves proceeded to turn his substantial amount of mental power to bear on his images. Since he lacked the time to figure out a way to solve the problem with finesse, he utilized brute force instead.

He forcibly separated the images until clear barriers came into being between the three. This forced the integration of the images in the design to take a step back, but at least they didn't argue with each other anymore.

Next, he adjusted the traits of his totem animal in order to rein in its exaggerated behavior. He lessened the ferocity of the beast and granted it a small amount of cunning.

When Ves finished his adjustments, he took a mental step backwards and regarded his images again. He succeeded in stabilizing the images, though he failed to preserve their strengths.

In essence, his crude intervention solved nothing but prevented the situation from devolving into an unstable mess. Ves had in fact robbed his images of some of their life. This was especially the case with his totem animal.

He learned some very important lessons after this ordeal. Images that had been granted with life developed in an unpredictable direction, sometimes going against his intended vision.

"This is life."

True life embraced the limitless potential of chaos. Life was never comfortable if it behaved according to a predetermined plan. A life shackled down by too many rules and restrictions lost much of the vivid traits that made it precious.

Even though Ves applied the wrong solution, the overall X-Factor shouldn't have suffered too much from his previous norm. He simply missed a small opportunity to evolve his current application of the X-Factor.

"Now that this is done with, let's go back to designing."

While Ves spent precious minutes suppressing the unrest in his mind, Oleg started assembling his mech from the pieces he fabricated in record time. He easily slotted the components in their places, which proved that all of his components had come into existence without any noticeable deviations.

The amount of precision he was able to maintain when he swiftly printed out the parts would have astounded a crowd of mech designers. Hardly anyone could insure their components were without flaws if they adopted the same speed. While much of the miracle could be attributed to the excellent machines in the Apprentice Workshop, Oleg's comprehensive mastery over the fabrication process also played a decisive role.

Ves felt the pinch as Oleg comfortably moved to the last phase of his design process. He required a lot more time to refine his design due to his desire to adhere to his vision. Many times, his tweaks lowered the performance of his design, or introduced new flaws that only became apparent when Ves made further changes.

Normally, this happened all the time. Ves could easily draw back his changes and puzzle out a better solution over many iterations. However, Ves had already spent a day on this repetitive process. His snail-like progress could never match the efficiency of Oleg's own approach.

In the end, Ves stuck to his method and accepted that he'd never be able to optimize his design as well as Oleg. He focused mainly on eliminating the flaws that already existed in his design while leaving aside the many tricks he could use to enhance its performance.

At the end of his thirty-two hour design phase, Ves smiled in satisfaction. Regardless of the many optimizations that he had yet to perform, his design had come together in a way that all of his images found acceptable, if barely.

"It's time to move on to fabrication."

Most of his knight's components required little effort to produce. Ves left much of the heavy lifting to the incredibly capable 3D printer fabricating his parts.

Unlike Oleg, Ves took his time with the process, as he didn't possess much familiarity with these specific machines.

When the printer spat out all of the easier parts, Ves paid more attention to the next part. The fabrication process of the armor plating required his personal supervision and intervention if he wanted to finish it within his time limit.

By nature, exotic materials all possessed unstable structures. Given time, they broke apart and turned into mundane elements or disappeared into nothing.

This made them hard to work with. While automated production processes made a lot of strides in reducing the error rate, sometimes they spasmed when they faced an unanticipated situation.

The armor system selected by Ves incorporated a lot of different exotics. Some of them didn't react to well when put together, so the difficulty of fabricating the armor plating without any flaws was extremely high.

Fortunately, Ves possessed enough skill to keep the problem in check. The extra time allotted to him for this duel proved to be a life saver for him as the lack of haste allowed him to maintain just enough control to prevent most flaws.

Even his relative unfamiliarity with the chemical treatment machine and the alloy compressor didn't stop him from making good time. The System demanded a lot of DP before Ves could master the alloy compressor, but the price had obviously been worth it as he never fumbled more than once when he came across something new.

With a couple more hours to go, Ves assembled his parts in rapid time. Ves considered this phase to be the easiest one as long as he fabricated his parts within tolerance. The facts proved his case, as Ves hardly encountered a hitch.

His knight design came into being as his time began to ran out. Oleg had long completed his own design and observed Ves from a distance with a yawn. To him, the knight designed by Ves didn't seem all that special. He completely understood its components and their approximate performance in a single glance.

"What's the use of comfort in a mech?" He sneered. "A mech is not a cruise ship! Compared to absolute strength, no amount of luxury can compete."

Mech designers competed mainly on performance. The design with the better numbers always commanded a higher appreciation by the mech pilots who entrusted their lives to them. Oleg possessed absolute confidence that his hasty creation could beat the one being assembled by his fellow apprentice.

Once Ves finished checking over his mech, he breathed deeply and fell onto the floor. Even with his enhanced physical endurance, his mental strength couldn't quite keep up. Ves had strained focus these last few hours in order to keep his images as vivid and lifelike as possible.

All of that hard work paid off. In his formative sixth sense, Ves clearly sensed a powerful aura emanating from the frame. He largely succeeded in shaping his new creation's X-Factor into a powerful force that had become inextricably attached to the mech's existence.

While he hadn't pulled off something new this time, the newly-formed knight seemed to come alive in his eyes. The X-Factor gained more substance this time due to the sheer amount of mental energy Ves directed to its design and fabrication.

To put it in another way, while the quality of the X-Factor stayed the same, its quantity increased by at least three or four times. With this abundant strength, the X-Factor permeated even deeper into the frame. This in turn enhanced the connection between the mech and its pilot.

A clapping sound approached Ves from behind. "Splendid work, Ves! Your performance improved a lot since you took park in the Leemar Open Competition. You didn't let Carmin down. What's the name of your design?"

"The Tyrant." Ves replied simply. It fit with his overall vision for the design. He was too tired to think of anything better. "I could use some rest first. Where can I get some food?"

"Hah, we've got some of the best cooks on this planet! Let me bring you up to the dining room. I've already taken the liberty of preparing some dinner."

While some authorized workers shipped the Tyrant to the surface through a cargo elevator, Ves and Oleg took some time to relax. Neither of them mentioned their work or the highly anticipated test. Instead, they chatted about Oleg's career.

"To be honest, I'm not sure whether I want to follow Carmin back to the Vermeer Group." Oleg revealed as he munched on the barbecued ribs of a native animal. "I'm still a citizen of the Carnegie Group. The bigwigs at Leemar promised they'd keep their doors open if I decide to stay."

Master Olson had only recently ascended to her exalted rank. As a relatively junior Master Mech Designer, she still had a long way to go before she mastered every other major field of knowledge. Her exchange with the local masters would only last another couple of years before she felt she had nothing more to gain.

"Do you have a lot of family back home?"

"Oh yeah, but I hardly ever visit them these days. I'm grown-up now so it's a little awkward to face my parents. They're just average working folk, you know. Even if I send them a lot of cols, they don't know what to do with it. I won't be missing out on much if I go to the Vermeer Group."

"You should follow your heart. It's not like your parents and your friends are stuck in the Carnegie Group. You've got more than enough money to bring them with you."

Ves didn't dare urge Oleg more. To be frank, if Ves received the same offer, he'd still stick with the Bright Republic. His love for his home outweighed the possible benefits he'd enjoy if he relocated somewhere wealthier.

They finished their meals and agreed to take some time to rest. Oleg was still dealing with the repercussions of the stimulants he took at the start of the duel while Ves wanted to rest his wrung-out mind.

Maintaining the Triple Division technique for forty-eight hours while taking only minor breaks proved very stressful to him. Fortunately, the previous phenomenon where he'd suffer from increasingly crippling headaches hadn't occurred this time.

"Tomorrow, we'll see who's mech will win."

Humanity has conquered half the galaxy and the Age of Mechs reigns supreme!

Ves Larkinson lacked the genetic aptitude to become a famed mech pilot. Fighting against his fate, he studied mech design in order to express his love for mechs as a builder instead of a soldier.

When Ves graduated from college, he returned to a new but empty boutique. Left with a small, newly founded mech workshop that his father painstakingly built with a mountain of debt, Ves somehow needs to make ends meet with the bank breathing down his neck.

In the midst of his despair, he found salvation from another legacy his father had left.

"Welcome to the Mech Designer System. Please design your new mech."

"...A brood other than us.."


I can't help but frown after listening to one of my children, Blade, report. 


Including that one week I spent waiting for Blade and the other children to hatch, it's only been less than two weeks since we arrive on this planet. And yet problems already coming. First, is the red-skinned creatures which seem to be the native human race of this planet and now another brood? How troublesome. Looking at the half-finished egg room, I need to speed it up.


While I'm thinking about what to do, Blade speaks up.


"Mother, how about we observe the other brood first? While it is unpleasant for allowing another brood to exist so close to us, the Taraqaks are of no threat to us, except for their number. We are stronger than them and our black sludge render their web useless.


We can let them off for now and observe them until our new siblings come, then their numbers will not be a threat anymore. They will be no more than food for our new siblings."


I turn to Blade and the other, my lips turn to smile. Hearing a good idea come from my child, I can't help but smile and feel proud. 


I never thought I would be so lucky to give birth to an Aberrant. A brood member that is born with superior stats. It was supposed to be already lucky for a brood to give birth to an Aberrant after the one hundred+ batch, that's just how rare the aberrant is. And yet, I give birth to one on my first batch. Not to mention, Blade is an Aberrant with superior intelligence, stats that are the most difficult to raise.


Thanks to his high intelligence, his learning and thinking capacity are far above the other children. I even suspect he has a human soul or memories like me but from his actions and words, I am certain that he is a pure brood worker. A smart one.


Worthy of being an aberrant, using his superior intelligence, he becomes the strongest and a leader for the children. He also has a strong desire to protect and provide for the brood, evident from his aspiration to become a champion and he proves it with his actions.


Blade, albeit temporary, it is a nice name. He will be the sharpest sword of the brood. And there is also one more child that is special, the one named Fist. Although his stats are not as high to reach an aberrant threshold, it is still higher than normal. His strength and vitality are higher than normal children but his intelligence is a few points lower than normal. I was worried he would die early because of it but now that he is being led by Blade, I can rest assured. With Blade's intelligence, I'm sure he notices that Fist is an asset, he won't let him die.


But, no matter how strong they will become, that is still in the future. Right now, they need resources and time to grow. The stronger they become, the better it is for the brood.


"The four of you, go and scout the enemy's brood, their number, territory, and nest. But make sure to stay hidden and don't alert them. We will not attack them until the next batch of workers hatch, you understand?"
"Yes, Mother!"
"Now go."


With my order, the four of them went on their way. I stand up from my throne and walk to the half-finished room, behind the throne on the right. 


A short hallway connecting to a big round hall, that's the egg room I want. The hallway has already been dug but the room only has a quarter of it done. There are five children digging the room diligently. 


"Children, back away from there."


Obeying me, the children scramble behind me. I aimed my hand at the room as a big ball of energy emerge, the energy ball is twice the size of an adult's head. The energy ball shot and impact the wall of the mountain like a cannon, cracks spread on the wall like a web. I shot more energy ball to different points of the wall. I don't make any more energy ball after the fifth shot, my energy stretch into many invisible hands and grab the pieces of stone off the wall. I throw the stone pieces outside the room and have the children dump it outside. I repeat the process until I exhaust all my energy and my gland. 


I used some of the biomass provided by my children to upgrade my strains, so my energy reserve has been upgraded and my glands are all filled with energy. That means I won't be running out of energy soon. 


Name: Eve


Species: Brood Queen


Core LV: 1
Strength: 32
Vitality: 36
Intelligence: 48


HP: 95/95
EN: 130/130


Strain: Eyes LV1, Claws LV1, Tail LV1, Legs LV1, Body LV1, Tendril LV1, Enhanced Psionic Gland LV5, Efficient Core Processing Gland LV5, Restorative Black Sludge Gland LV5


BioMass: 144


[Enhanced Psionic Gland]
[Enhanced the gland's overall function to a certain extent.]
[Energy+10 Intelligence+3]


Just like the description, my control, expenditure, and the capacity of my gland are all enhanced by a slight margin. While it is only a slight upgrade, it still works wonderfully for me. The energy and intelligence is a very welcome addition.


[Efficient Core Processing Gland]
[Enhanced the energy conversion of the Gland. Less energy and biomass expenditure when creating core.]
[Energy+10 Vitality+2]


As for this, the process of creating a core is now easier and much cheaper both in energy and biomass. Now, I only need 1 biomass to create a worker core. The vitality points are so that my body can endure the continuous creation of core. 


[Restorative Black Sludge Gland]
[Adds restorative components to the sludge. Heal the host or other wounds when applied. It can restore bodyparts but takes a long time to do so. Better effect if submerged entirely in the sludge.]
[Energy+10 Strength+1 Vitality+1]


The reason why I chose this is obvious. When the brood member increases, the number of battles will increase and so will the wounded. This gland will ensure the member will be healed, although it may need time. It is also for myself if I ever wounded. Not to mention it also adds 1 point each to my strength and vitality, 10 points for my energy.


When both my psionic gland and energy exhausted, the room is already almost done. I grab the pieces of flesh near my throne and devour it for energy, I want to finish the construction in one swoop. When my energy is full again, I go back to the room and fire a ball of energy at the wall before clearing the rubble again. After a few hours, more than half of my energy used up, the room finally finished.


A big round hall with a high ceiling. I estimate I can put about a hundred or so eggs here, double if I make a second floor. But before that, it needs a finishing touch. The bare white stone wall is nice but I like black and yellow better. 


"Children, cover the walls and ceiling with black sludge. Don't miss a spot."


The children move as black sludge leaks out from their skin, leaving behind a trail of black. While waiting for them, I sit down on my throne. I reach out for a quick bite. 


When I'm done with the room, I can start laying down the egg and only need to wait for a week for the worker to hatch. But even when all the workers hatch, I don't plan to send them to eradicate the Taraqaks. At least not yet. I want our number to reach at least five hundred strong and have a stable supply of biomass before doing any large-scale battle.


Such raid will cause massive loses and the current brood can't afford it. And besides, I feel that it is kind of a waste to wipe out the Taraqaks. If we can control their number and activity, the Taraqaks will become a good source of easy biomass and exp.


What worries me the most is the red-skinned human of this planet. From what Blade said, they are still in the stone age. Using leaves for clothes and bones for weapons. But that's all we know about them. We don't know the extent of their full capability.


Blade didn't encounter them again at the previous hunt, unfortunately. After this, I'll send the children to search for them. We at least need to know where they are. For me, humans are a bigger threat than Taraqaks. 


While I was thinking, the children come to me.


"Mother, we're done."
"Good job. Go and eat, restore your energy. I might need your help again."


I rub their heads before going to the room. The room is completely black with thick sludge dripping from the ceiling. I nod and walk to the center of the room, my tendril extends to the ground and spread like roots. I channeled energy into it and take control of the sludge. I spread the sludge evenly on every surface, the sludge moves like I want, forming a somewhat smooth exterior. 


It's a thick layer but this amount of sludge is not enough. Thankfully, my sludge gland is full. I let out all the sludge on my gland as it gushes out from the six pipes on my back. The sludge I let out assimilate with the rest, half move to the roof and half stay on the floor.


The sludge on both the roof and floor surge, three streams stretch out from each side, one side extending downward while the other side upward. 


The three pairs of streams meet and merge into three support pillars, they form a triangle shape. With this, the room structure will be more stable and stronger. To continue, I need more sludge.


"Children, come here."


Hearing my call, the children come running.


"Mother, what is it?"
"I need more black sludge, children."


The children then regurgitate a large amount of black sludge. I redirect the new batch of black sludge to the center of the pillars and like opening an umbrella, thick layer of sludge spread and forming the second floor. I leave a hole in the middle of the second floor that acts as a door. With this, the egg room is done.


My energy is spent, I sit down on my throne to rest and take a little bite. Since the egg room is done, I just need to make the core. As for the eggs, I let the children handle it. I call the children and all five of them come in front of me.


"Children, are there any of you who already evolve your black sludge?"


All of them shake their heads.


"Then, I want three of you to evolve your sludge gland to [Nutritious Black Sludge Gland]. The three children who evolve their strain will be called Broodtender and always stay inside the brood to care for the unborn siblings. I let you choose who will be the Broodtenders.


As for the last two, I want you to choose a strain that makes it easier for you to dig a room and enhances your black sludge gland for construction. They will be called engineers. Any questions?"
"Mother, what's a construction?"
"A construction is a process of making things like room and the likes. Let me show you."


I share them the images of people constructing the shelter from my previous life with the mind link. Previously I can only show them bits of it, but after the evolution, I can show them more complete and better images. If the previous is like 240p now I can show them 580p.


"Do you understand? You will be the one to shape our nest."
"Yes, Mother!"
"Then go and evolve your strain after you decide. If you lack biomass, just take from the pile. Remember, three Broodtenders and two engineers."
"Yes!"


The five huddle together for a while before scattering, some eat before entering their eggs while some go straight to their eggs. While I wait for them, I made a hundred eggs in the egg room. The children just need to fill it with black sludge.


As for the cores, I have a plan for it. I made a transparent container behind my throne, the container is like a half meter barrel-shape aquarium. Then I take the liquid energy from the nest to fill the container, the light of the nest dimmed a little but the children can refill it with energy later.


With the container filled and ready, I create a tube that connects to the container. The tube extent and strap itself onto my stomach. With this, when I'm done creating a core, the finished core will automatically be transferred to the container.


The liquid energy in the container will preserve the cores until it is moved to a proper egg for incubation. At the bottom of the container, I make a button and a small opening. When a Broodtender pushes the button, a tentacle inside the container will pick a core and push it out through the small opening. 


This will make it easier for me and the Broodtender. I can stay still on my throne and producing cores while the Broodtender takes the core out of the container and put it into the egg. I quickly put the plan into motion and the first core comes out from my stomach. It smoothly travels through the tube and comes out inside the container, floating in the yellow liquid.


Seeing no problem, I create more cores. On my tenth cores, the children come out of their eggs. The Broodtenders don't show any difference outside but I know their sludge gland is now different, while the engineers have their arm evolved. One evolves his arm to look like a pickaxe and the other had a bigger arm with sharp claws. 


I call and tell them what to do. The Broodtenders goes to the egg room and fill the eggs with the sludge. When they run out of sludge they come and take the core from the container. The engineers refill the nest supply of energy before digging another egg room across the newly built one. The brood is starting its expansion, things will get busy.


I sit on my throne while creating cores continuously and the Broodtenders moving the cores to the egg and incubates them. The sound of construction echoes in the nest, the engineers put their all into making the new egg room. When the sun is setting, Blade and the others come back. They don't have any wounds and they bring some Taraqaks corpse with them. Blade put the corpse on the pile and looks at me.


"Mother, we don't find the Taraqak's nest but we find the direction they come from."


Blade points at the northeast of the nest. I see the images of their investigation from the mind link, it seems the Taraqak's nest is a bit farther than I initially thought. With this distance, we can watch their movement and have ample time to set our defense if the need arises. 


"How's the forest condition, Blade? Is the monster there wiped out by the Taraqaks?"
"No, Mother. While the Taraqak killed many monsters, we find many monsters move toward that part of the forest to avoid the Taraqaks."


Blade points at the west, I'll teach him direction later. With the monsters flock together, it will make hunting both easier and harder at the same time. Easier to spot prey and harder because they crowd together. But that is not a problem.


"Blade, bring your siblings and hunt the Taraqaks. Focus on them and control their number, make sure they don't grow closer to the Brood's territory. And continue to search the Taraqak's nest, we must find it."
"I understand, Mother."


Blade nods and so does the other. I rub their head and they show me such a cute face as they enjoy my patting. Blade suddenly asks. 


"Mother, my new siblings…"


I can't help but smile at his question.


"Don't worry, after a week they will hatch. At that time, I will be counting on you to lead them."
"For the Brood! For Mother!"


I say to Blade and the others, they answer with such vigor.


"Then Mother, will we kill the Taraqaks after my siblings hatch?"


I shake my head and answer.


"No, at least not yet. After thinking about it, I think that rather than killing them it will benefit the Brood more if we can control them and make the Taraqaks our biomass farm."
"Mother, what is a farm?"


I show Blade and the others the images of cattle. 


"I see, so we are raising them to be food for the Brood! As expected of Mother!"
"It's good if you understand. And if we really going to attack the Taraqaks, I want us to have a level 2 to lead the attack. So, work hard and grow stronger, children."
"We will, Mother! For the Brood! For Mother!"


I nod at them. 


"Now children, go hunt the Taraqaks and bring their corpse for the Brood. We need biomass for the new generation of workers."
"Can we evolve our strain first, Mother?"
"Of course."


The four go to their eggs to evolve. I lean on my throne, with them at the front, the next generation will have better protection and resources. The stronger they grow the better. I hope the Taraqaks will not die off too soon, I need them for my biomass farm. 

Under the rule of the Akashic Record, every race and living beings in the galaxy are given the chance to reach prominence. 

Clan, Regime, Kingdom, individual. Anything and anyone with the fire of ambition in their heart race to the top in this dog-eat-dog universe.

And yet, even in this universe invested with strong existences. There is a race that is feared by every being.

The Brood.

Mo Yin softly pulled his hand out from her grasp, he comforted, "Mother, don't worry, it's just an old friend of mine, not an enemy."
Then, he leaped and landed on the thousand-winged ancient ship, sitting down in front of Zhong Yue. He looked around and saw no one around them, Zhong Yue was all alone without any experts protecting him.
"Mister, I salute your courage to come and stop me on your own." Mo Yin picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled the cup in front of him, he said while smiling, "Mister Yi, are you here to kill me?"
Zhong Yue shook, he said, "I never had the blood of any humans on my hands before, they are still clean as of now. I am here to send you off."
Mo Yin drank the wine, he turned around, looked at Heaven Court and said in a broad and peaceful manner, "It's a great empire, but I've lost it, defeated by you. 'Intelligence is inferior to strength.', you said. Huh. But you didn't defeat me with strength, you defeated me with your intelligence. It is my intelligence that is inferior to yours. Defeated, I am… You found me, does that mean you have the Almanac of Karma? You've calculated my Karmic Line and therefore, found out my location."
Zhong Yue shook, he replied while smiling, "Not only have I calculated your Karmic Lines, I've also calculated the Karmic Lines of every commander and general in your armies. All of their actions are clear as crystal before me. However, I don't have the Almanac of Karma, it is my own Karmic art I used to calculate the Karmic Lines."
Mo Yin was surprised, then he sighed, "No wonder I am no match to you. You should see Consort Tian Si, she has the incomplete Almanac of Karma. It didn't just contain the calculation art of Karma, but things even more miraculous than that."
"Don't leave. Follow me." Zhong Yue suddenly said.
Mo Yin was startled, he exclaimed in shock, "You want me to follow you? Do you still remember how many times I nearly got you killed?"
Zhong Yue nodded, he laughed, "Which is why I appreciate your talent so much. It's not easy to bring me close to death; why should I appreciate someone who can't even do that and was killed by me in the first encounter? Follow me, serve me. We are both humans, we are supposed to help and care for each other."
Mo Yin kept mum before he sighed deeply, "If the lord you serve wasn't Mu Xiantian, you'd be my first choice. But as long as you serve him, I will not give you my loyalty. Mister Yi, you are the one who gave me the most bitter defeat in my entire life, but you are also the one who I salute most. You are too late, I've already promised Senior Martial Brother Yun Juanshu to serve him and continue to be your opponent."
As he said, he was staring extremely close to Zhong Yue's face. When he saw Zhong Yue's daze at hearing Yun Juanshu's name, his heart suddenly thumped heavily. 
"Since Yun Juanshu has gained your loyalty, I will not hold you back any longer." Zhong Yue raised his cup and wished, "All the best in your future."
Mo Yin quickly stood up in a fluster, hitting his foot on the table legs and nearly tripping over himself. He panically raised his cup and the two had a toast. Then, he staggered out of the thousand-winged ancient ship with his injured foot back to the skiff. He turned back to look and saw Zhong Yue leaving with the thousand-winged ancient ship.
Fuxi, he really is a Fuxi…
Mo Yin's mind turned blank while his family members were bewildered to see the world-renowned Mister Mo suddenly tearing and sobbing while saying, "Mother, all my life, I've been living like a boat drifting in the boundless ocean. But now... now, my heart has found the island I've been seeking, it was found and set in peace."
His blind mother couldn't see anything but she could feel, she said in her old and quivering voice, "I too, felt the sudden peace in you. Your heart is calmed. I have nothing to worry about you anymore even if I die now. 
...
The battle of the two monarchs was near, countless experts have gathered beside the Heavenly River, waiting to witness the monarchs' battle. They were nonstop discussing it all day long, has Heavenly Monarch Di Ming opened the seventh secret realm and would Mu Xiantian be able to defeat Heavenly Monarch Di Ming? 
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, Zhong Yue took out the Wall Painting Flower, the saint herb that was born with Yuan Ya Deity King. He was busy warring and conquering lands before this and only now did he have the time to study the Innate Mountain Dao. 
His initial plan was to attain the core essence of unchanging of the Innate Mountain Dao from Yuan Ya Deity King's disciples. However, as Yuan Ya Deity King didn't teach his disciples the true quintessence of his cultivation, it was incredibly difficult for him to attain it from them.
Most of Yuan Ya Deity King's disciples' souls were contained in his Six Paths Reincarnation, it wasn't an issue for him to extract their memories. But attaining the Innate Mountain Dao from their memories was way too difficult. After working on it over half a year's time, Zhong Yue's attainments were still close to none.
The Wall Painting Flower is the symbiotic saint herb that was born together with Yuan Ya Deity King. As Yuan Ya Deity King is the spirit of the Innate Mountain Dao, he has inherently mastered the Innate Mountain Dao. Which also means that his associate saint herb will also contain a thing or two about the Innate Mountain Dao in it.
Zhong Yue inspected the saint herb thoroughly. It was an amazing flower that had limitless changes in appearance. At a second, the blooming flower looked like starry skies filled with bright stars; in the next second, it turned into the images of a court of beauties that looked real and lively. 
Then, suddenly the scenes of mountainous land with meandering rivers; or a world of divine palaces; or a flock of Golden Crows burning in flames.
Zhong Yue tried to study the flower but gleaned nothing from it. He murmured, "Or it's meant to be eaten? Like, eating it will gift me the Innate Mountain Dao?"
Shua—
The petals of the blooming Wall Painting Flower suddenly closed and turned into a flower bud. Its roots suddenly waved as it attempted an escape. Clearly, it could understand his words and Zhong Yue quickly cast out the Create Evolve Mystical Gate to suppress it. 
Then, he forcibly opened the petals of the flower bud while flower roots shove into his body through his pores and nostrils. But Zhong Yue was unflinched, he pulled the roots out and gnawed on the thickest root.
The Wall Painting Flower shuddered heavily and pretended to be dead.
"Xin Huo, you sure this saint herb is actually effective?" Zhong Yue was puzzled. He didn't feel anything different after taking a few bites on the saint herb's roots.
Xin Huo was scratching his head when he answered, "I don't know either. I've only seen this saint herb once when Yuan Ya Deity King took it out during the previous chaotic era… Don't eat anymore, some saint herbs are not meant to be consumed!"
Zhong Yue blushed in embarrassment and let go of the Wall Painting Flower's roots. Xin Huo was right, some saint herbs were not supposed to be eaten. For example, the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom that was used to replace his deaths, and the saint herbs that were used to attain Daos. One only had to sit beside the saint herb to enjoy its effect of enlarging the cultivator's affinity for the Daos.
If consuming the Wall Painting Flower has no effect, then there must be some other way to use it. As the saint herb that was born symbiotically together with Yuan Ya Deity King's birth, it must have its own uniqueness!
Zhong Yue raised a finger and poked on the flower bud. Then, images of countless gods appeared on the surface of the flower petals. The gods were all pointing their fingers at Zhong Yue in disdain.
"What an interesting flower. If it could speak, it'd definitely scold me until dog blood is all over my head[1]." Zhong Yue laughed as he said.
But right in the next second, his laughter stopped as he saw the image of himself appearing on the flower petals. In the image, a dog was above him spurting blood down all over his body.
Zhong Yue's face darkened, he smirked coldly and said, "You can understand me? Then what use do you have? Show me or I will eat you away, I don't care even if you are not tasty!"
The saint herb shivered and Zhong Yue kept the Create Evolve Mystical Gate. Then, the Wall Painting Flower's petals bloomed, showing the images of the nebulous state of Chaos before the birth of the cosmos. 
Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, he looked carefully at the images and suddenly, the images enlarged in his vision and swallowed him away!
In the next second, the images on the flower petals disappeared along with Zhong Yue, leaving only the flower quietly floating in midair on the spot!
"Huh? I've come to the beginning of the cosmos…" Zhong Yue glanced around only to find the cosmos still in its nebulous state of Chaos. 
Around him, there were great powers that began creating the cosmos. These powers were all kinds of different Daos, they were creating spaces in the nebulous state of Chaos, some of them have even started condensing into shapes, turning into physical and solid innate sacred grounds.
These innate sacred grounds had their own unique looks. There was one that looked like a dragon, another one looked like a snake; there was an innate sacred ground shadowed by total darkness, one shone in brightest light, one suffused in evil air, one filled by grand and solemn air, and another one brimmed with demonic air.
While some Daos became innate sacred grounds in the ancient universe, there were the others that formed the amazing spiritual roots of heaven and earth. But what shocked Zhong Yue was that he saw there were more than just three great spiritual roots of heaven and earth!
From what he knew, there were only three great spiritual roots of heaven and earth, the Tree of Life, Innate Fruit Tree, and Fusang Divine Tree. But what he was seeing now were six other spiritual roots apart from the three he already knew about!
One of them was shredded into countless saint herbs during the opening of the cosmos and spread all across the ancient universe. Whereas the other five spiritual roots settled in different parts of the cosmos.
There are five more spiritual roots that have no master? Zhong Yue was shocked, he thought, Strange, why haven't I heard of these five spiritual roots before?
Then, he saw a Dao taking the shape of a mountain ridge. It formed the most ancient and sacred mountain ridge, the Innate Dao Mountain.
Immediately, Zhong Yue stopped caring about the other things and stared closely at the Innate Mountain Dao as it slowly formed into Innate Dao Mountain. The process of the Dao turning into the innate sacred ground would definitely contain the secrets of the Innate Mountain Dao!
"Unchanged by time, yet changing nonstop in time… It grows high, it turns low, and it changes. When it is high, it becomes mountains and gathers energies on the summit; when it is low, it turns into valleys and stores energies at the bottom. And yet, it is changing endlessly. Such are the cores of unchange and change…"
Zhong Yue immersed himself fully. The attainments he extracted from Yuan Ya Deity King's disciples' memories that he wasn't able to organize before now all made sense when he saw the Innate Dao Mountain's creation. He was enlightened!
With it, his Innate Mountain Dao was slowly manifesting.
After a long time, the Innate Dao Mountain was finally formed with the mountain ridge changing endlessly on the surface.
He has finally mastered the Innate Mountain Dao!
All of a sudden, the images of the birth of the cosmos dispersed. Zhong Yue opened his eyes and found himself back in the world again. The Wall Painting Flower in front of him slowly kept its petals and turned back into a bud.
Zhong Yue calmed himself and cast his cultivation. Totem patterns emerged around him and started merging with each other as he was perfecting his Innate Mountain Dao. With more of Yuan Ya Deity King's disciples' cultivation arts and techniques flowing into his mind, his attainments in the Innate Mountain Dao grew deeper as well, bringing him closer to the level similar to Yuan Ya Deity King's attainments!
"Yuan Ya Deity King sure is amazing, he has taught so many disciples and yet, he still didn't finish teaching everything about the Innate Mountain Dao!" Zhong Yue stopped when he felt him reaching his limit.
Rays flashed in his eyes and he looked at the Wall Painting Flower, he said, "There were still five more other spiritual roots in the images, where are they? You should know their locations, right?"

Synopsis
In the world birthed by Pangu, the Three Sovereigns lit the spark of humanity that the Five Emperors would later fan into a blazing fire, eternally branding humanity as the leaders of the world….
This was a time where twilight had descended on the reign of the Human Sovereign and the Five Emperors had yet to emerge – humanity was merely one of the myriad races wandering about the vast cosmos.
This was a desolate and barren era. The monsters, devils, heavenly gods, and deities of all races stood aloft; with the demons, heavenly souls, and spirits dancing freely around the world.
The humans were still a feeble and burgeoning race at the mercy of the pantheon of races that ruled the world together from within the great wilderness.
This was not the era of the Foreworld, but the barbaric and untamed era of uncivilization!
Let us rewind back to China’s ancient and classical mythology and recount the legendary tale of how a single figure led humanity out of an epoch of darkness and into a new dawn.
“Why do I seem like a monster? It’s not that my heart longs for blood, but the indifferent reality, and the harsh truth ... that drives me to kill.”
— Zhong Yue

Things You Should Know
Honestly, judging from the title itself, one’s initial impression would be that the story is simply another boring and cliche cultivation novel. Or at least, that was what I thought at first when I was first introduced to this novel by a friend. But to my surprise, and most likely to yours, (if you read it, that is ...) you will soon come to realize that the plot gets very interesting, involving many characters from the ancient and primeval eras of Chinese mythology.
Every story has their own charms, and every character has their own tale to tell. And this, is the tale of a young man fighting not for himself, but for the betterment of humanity. The plot starts to get really good at around chapter 50-ish, and that’s when the roller coaster starts to rise higher and higher to never come down again (literally, it ended in a climax).

Gu Mengmeng sighed as she waved her hands profusely at Elvis. Elvis exchanged gazes with Lea before both of them evolved into their beast forms and slowly walked towards the Platform with leisure and calm steps. Before they reached the top of the Platform, they threw a glance at Auretin which caused the face-paralyzed Auretin to be taken aback. After that, he also evolved into his white tiger form and followed Elvis and Lea up the Platform.
Elvis laid his front paws on the ground, gesturing Gu Mengmeng to climb up his back. Gu Mengmeng was quite surprised, she originally only wanted Elvis to carry her up so that she could reach Mandy's head. However, when Elvis and the other two walked to her in a flashy manner, Gu Mengmeng instantly felt that her class was a lot higher than usual.
She learned from how those gentlewoman in Europe hold the sides of their dresses and then sat on Elvis's back. Elvis stood up straight and peered down on the crowd of males in an overbearing posture. Lea, a white fox, and Auretin, a white tiger, stood on both sides of Elvis like guards and although there no words were exchanged, the three of them emitted a prestige that nobody dared to offend.
Gu Mengmeng was not aware that at that moment, her image in everyone's eyes was like a one and only heaven fairy who had descended to the world. She was so beautiful until nothing could be compared to her and a glowing white halo was emitting off from her entire body, capturing everyone's attention. She was pretty but not bewitching, she was lovely but not coquettish, she was just like a flower blooming on a bold cliff, protected by the steepest and strongest mountains. She was so delicate and frail but could only be admired from afar, nobody had the ability to overcome the three mountains even by a centimetre.
Gu Mengmeng took a flower crown she made herself from one side and placed it on Mandy's head, announcing, "I, the messenger of the Beast Deity, shall announce that the winner of the most beautiful female competition this year is Mandy. She's not only the prettiest female in Saint Naizare, she's the prettiest female in the entire Beast World."
"Wha.....what?" Mandy was so stupefied she could not say a word. She's not the First Beauty of the tribe anymore? She's the First Beauty of the Beast World? And she was even appointed by the messenger of the Beast Deity?!
Gu Mengmeng sat on Elvis's back and lightly hugged Mandy, telling her, "I hope that besides having a beautiful appearance, you can also have a kind heart. Cherish your partners like how you cherish your own body. If you can do it, you'll become much prettier."
Mandy nodded her head with her eyes brimming with tears as she cried, "Mighty messenger, I can definitely do it."
Gu Mengmeng gave a smile in satisfaction and released Mandy's hand, saying, "All fellow tribesman from Saint Nazaire will return to the tribe with me tomorrow morning."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" A deafening howl replied Gu Mengmeng. She gently patted Elvis's back to let Elvis know that it had ended. He then raised his head proudly and carried Gu Mengmeng on his back down the Platform, heading back to their stone house.
Halfway back, Gu Mengmeng burst out into laughter and said, "Hey, how long are you guys going to persist on your images? There's no one else here so evolve back. You guys look so awkward now, it's as if I'm a beast-master of a circus."
Lea was the first one to evolve back into his half-orc form. He carried Gu Mengmeng off from Elvis's back to let Elvis evolve back into his human form too before Elvis himself took Gu Mengmeng in his own arms. Auretin did not have much presence as he quietly evolved back into human form while standing behind Elvis and Lea.
Lea knew that Gu Mengmeng did not like others exposing some parts of their body so he had long prepared three beast-skin dresses for them to wear immediately after their evolution.
Elvis asked the smiley Gu Mengmeng, "Why are you so happy? Do you want to share it with me?"


Going for a swim, she ends up in an ancient wild Beast World and ends up being brought home by a handsome wolf.
She wants to stick to the handsome wolf, stock some salt, farm some land, look at some handsome men and grow old like that, but the handsome wolf pounces on her every day.
What? He wants her to have babies?
NO~ NO~ NO~ There is no happy ending to interspecies marriages, hurry and let go of me handsome wolf~

[Mini Story]
"Wolf King, Wolf King, the Queen said that the eyes of the merman prince are as beautiful as the stars in the sky."
"Yes, they’re beautiful indeed, dig them out and send them to the Queen."

"Wolf King, Wolf King, the Queen said that the First Beauty in the tribe, the snake princess’s skin has a unique and fine texture."
"Yes, it’s unique indeed, rip that snake princess's skin off and send it to the Queen."

"Wolf King, Wolf King, the Queen said that the Wolf King is impressively-looking, the world’s one and only."
"What’re you waiting for? Quickly send me to the Queen!"


"Shentu Nantian is finally going to show his hand!"

Seeing Shentu Nantian take the desolate beast's blood out, people were looking forward to it. Previously, Shentu Hai and Shentu Feng had displayed their extraordinary Desolate Heaven technique. It was all thanks to the discoveries the Shentu family clan had made in the mystic realm.

Although Shentu Feng had been affected by Yi Yun, nearly causing his runic seal to explodes, a flaw could not obscure the splendidness of jade. Generally, the Lin family was envious of the Shentu family clan's strength in the Desolate Heaven technique.

Now with it being Shentu Nantian's turn, it was the highlight of this round.

Actually, Shentu Nantian was not considered to be a normal junior. He was past 30 years of age, and in many aspects, he exceeded Shentu Feng, Shentu Hai and Yi Yun.

Whatever Shentu Hai and Shentu Feng could learn, Shentu Nantian had definitely learned it, and he would have mastered it even better.

The disk array's light grew brighter. Beneath Shentu Nantian's feet, there was a total of four primordial strain blood containers. All the lids of the containers had already been opened. Under the influence of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, red light swirled around them as the blood boiled.

Shentu Nantian spread his arms out and his body slowly lifted off from the ground as he started to hover in midair.

When warriors exceeded the Yuan Foundation realm, they could fly. Hence, hovering was nothing for Shentu Nantian.

Shentu Nantian had begun forming seals with his hands. His hand motions were very slow. His slender jade-like fingers seemed to possess an inexplicable charm, it drew the surrounding audience to his finger skills in a subconscious manner.

"What ancient Desolate Heaven technique method is this now?"

People were trying to guess. As many of the ancient Desolate Heaven technique heritage had been lost for so long, even figures like Su Jie and the Lin family's Matriarch found it difficult to match what technique Shentu Nantian was using according to what was written in the books.

At that moment, behind Shentu Nantian, colorful lights started to emerge.

As these lights gathered together, they formed a phenomenon.

People could see lush, green grass grow on the disk array by Shentu Nantian's feet. The grass was dotted with wildflowers. It looked extremely beautiful.

"It's a phenomenon image!"

The Lin family's Elders shouted. Warriors could use their own Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to condense phenomenon images. For example, Yi Yun also could use his Radiant Sun Qi to condense an image of the Tang Valley.

However, phenomenon images were just illusions and they did not look very realistic. In contrast, Shentu Nantian's phenomenon image seemed to be a grassland that appeared before everyone present. People could faintly smell the fragrance from the grass and flowers.

As the colorful lights grew in intensity, a spirit tree grew from the grassland. A spring then appeared in front of the spirit tree.

As the spring water flowed, a human figure appeared by the spring.

This figure was dressed in a green gown and a headband wrapped was around his head. He held a folding fan and he looked like a learned scholar who had accomplished much at a young age.

The scholar strolled under the tree as he gently flapped his fan. He seemed to be reciting poetry and drawing art in the beautiful scene. The scene seemed magical and dream-like.

"This is Shentu Nantian's Aspect Totem!" A Lin family's Elder said.

"Oh? Aspect Totem?"

Humanoid Aspect Totems were very rarely seen. Back in the Tai Ah Divine City, during the alliance tournament between the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom and the Yun Long Divine Kingdom, Feng Lin had also shown her Aspect Totem. It was a sword-bearing maiden with two wings on her back.

Compared to Feng Lin's Aspect Totem, Shentu Nantian's Aspect Totem was even more realistic. Furthermore, the picturesque scene was so realistic that mortals would completely believe that a scholar was standing under the spirit tree.

"Shentu Nantian's Aspect Totem is known as the Transcendent Immortal Paradise." While people were surprised at Shentu Nantian's Aspect Totem, the Shentu family clan's Thousand Hand Granny introduced it with glee, "Nantian's Aspect Totem is comprised of an immortal paradise. As for the figure in the immortal paradise, it is Nantian's incarnation. If one day, this figure transforms into a Immortal King, Nantian's strength will reach an extreme limit."

The Thousand Hand Granny was very proud of having a grandson like Shentu Nantian.

Very few people had Aspect Totems that had phenomenon images accompanying them. Furthermore, this kind of Aspect Totems could also evolve. It could be said to be a supreme quality Aspect Totem.

"I see. Dear nephew Nantian is surely a dragon amongst people." Lin Xintong's grandaunt spoke at the appropriate moment. She liked Shentu Nantian the more she looked at him. "In the Transcendent Immortal Paradise, the gentleman embodiment really suits dear nephew Nantian's temperament. His Aspect Totem is just like him. The words "jade-like gentleman" really are the perfect portrayal of him."

The woman in palatial gown praised him and she greatly pleased the Thousand Hand Granny. Her wrinkle-filled old face made her look like a walnut as a smile contorted her face.

"Jade-like gentleman? That sure is a phrase that insults a gentleman." Su Jie curled his mouth. He could not be bothered to say anything else. If Shentu Nantian was a gentleman, then he was a Saint.

As Su Jie was silently cursing, a light flashed in his eyes. He could see thick blood beams being emitted from the four containers of primordial strains’ blood around Shentu Nantian.

In the blood beam, the souls of the desolate beasts emerged.

Beast mark!

When warriors condensed their Aspect Totem, they had to condense a beast mark from the desolate beast's corpse they had killed with their own hands.

Only then could an Aspect Totem slowly form.

And now, with Shentu Nantian displaying the Desolate Heaven technique, he had ended up condensing beast marks. Furthermore, these were beast marks condensed from blood left behind by primordial strains.

These four primordial strains were not killed by Shentu Nantian. This meant that the beast marks Shentu Nantian had condensed were slightly different to the beast marks needed for Aspect Totems.

This was actually a very ancient sealing technique, so profound that Su Jie did not understand it.

"Four Images Seal..."

At that moment, the Lin family's Matriarch said slowly.

The Four Images were related to North, South, East and West. Each Image corresponded to a divine beast, the Azure dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird and the Black Turtle.

Of course, Shentu Nantian was unable to form seals using the blood from divine beasts. The desolate beast marks surrounding Shentu Nantian were as such: the East being the Azure Python, the West being the Fierce Divine Tiger, the South being the Firebird, and the North being the Mystic Turtle.

These four desolate beasts also matched the divine beasts of the Four Images. The Lin family's Matriarch had only seen records of such a sealing technique in books.

"The Matriarch is well-read!" The Thousand Hand Granny said with a smile. "Since the Matriarch knows the Four Images Seal, you should also know the power of this sealing technique."

The Four Images Seal was also the last thing the Shentu family clan had found in the mystic realm.

This sealing technique needed to extract beast marks from the desolate beast's blood. It was used in conjunction with the desolate bones and it was suited for Shentu Nantian to practice.

Now with the Four Images Seal showcased, it was also the last killer technique to win the showdown for the younger generation.

The Thousand Hand Granny believed that by showcasing these three ancient Desolate Heaven techniques consecutively, it was enough to shock and tempt the Lin family.

"I've heard that Miss Xintong is very accomplished in the Desolate Heaven technique. Why don't you show it to us?" The Thousand Hand Granny suddenly turned towards Lin Xintong. She was not fond of Lin Xintong.

Just as how the Lin family was wary of Shentu Nantian, the Thousand Hand Granny felt a natural mistrust and prejudice towards Lin Xintong.

Due to the benefits gained from their getting together, she had to accept Shentu Nantian and Lin Xintong's marriage.

However, she still wanted to take Lin Xintong down a notch before she was married into the Shentu family clan.

She knew that Lin Xintong was still young. In addition to the limitations of her naturally terminated meridians, her accomplishments in the Desolate Heaven technique was naturally inferior to Shentu Nantian. Besides, Lin Xintong did not know any ancient Desolate Heaven techniques. With Shentu Nantian showing off such an eye-catching Four Images Seal, Lin Xintong would definitely be put to shame no matter what method she used.

Lin Xintong frowned and did not respond. She knew what the Thousand Hand Granny was thinking. She had to admit that Shentu Nantian's ability in the Desolate Heaven technique was unmatched amongst the younger generation.

"Ignore the old witch." Su Jie swore in his Yuan Qi transmission as it rang in Lin Xintong's ears. "Unfortunately, this rascal Yi Yun was not born a few years earlier. If that was the case, we don't have to see such an arrogant Shentu Nantian!"

Su Jie thought with hate. At that moment, Shentu Nantian's Four Images Seal had reached its final critical moment.

The Four Images Seal was extremely difficult to use. Compared to the Four Images Seal, the previous Five Elemental Bone Array and Black Handed Demon were like fireflies in front of the moon. They were not worth mentioning.

Even with Shentu Nantian's ability, it was not easy for him to use the Four Images Seal to such a stage.

As his Aspect Totem burned, the colorful lights became brighter.

Shentu Nantian had managed to splice the four desolate beast marks together with great difficulty. He was about to finish the final fusion.

At that moment, a flash appeared in Yi Yun's eyes. He had been standing in a corner and was ignored by everyone. The corner of his lips curved upwards, but no one could see it because of the mask.

In Yi Yun's soul, his mental energies were being circulated. From Yi Yun's heart, gorgeous purple beams circulated in the Purple Crystal. However, no one could detect the purple beams.

The Four Images Seal Shentu Nantian was using was in essence, energy. Furthermore, what had been just extracted from the primordial strains’ blood was pure energy without an owner.

Energy without an owner was basically food for the Purple Crystal. This was what Yi Yun wished for.


With the strongest experts from the 33 Skies the Human Emperor, Lin Ming, and his opponent, the Abyssal Demon King, were embroiled in a final battle. In the end, the Human Emperor destroyed the Abyssal World and killed the Abyssal Demon King. By then, a godly artifact, the mysterious purple card that had previously sealed the Abyssal Demon King, had long since disappeared into the space-time vortex, tunneling through infinite spacetime together with one of Lin Ming’s loved ones.

In the vast wilderness, where martial arts was still slowly growing in its infancy, several peerless masters tried to find their path in the world of martial arts. A young adult named Yi Yun from modern Earth unwittingly stumbles into such a world and begins his journey with a purple card of unknown origin. This is a magnificent yet unknown true martial world! This is the story of a normal young adult and his adventures!!    

Chapter 55: 人間とモンスターの距離⑦・Kizuari the MASTER ALPHA GREYWOLF ②

When I was born, I had the Premonition of DEATH, in that dream like premonition, images of me who finally, days after becoming a TEEN GREYWOLF, will die in the forest at the east by the invading GOBLIN hordes who have set it on fire. Unable to smell properly due to the stench of burning trees and my sight obscured by the smoke, will have his head looped.

I would die without even able to mate… how sad. That was what I thought while still a baby. While in my childhood years I started to attract the female kind to ensure that I would at least get laid after getting evolving into a TEEN. But the rest of the pack just ignored me, while just considered it childish attitude, some just pitied me about dying early without even evolving into ADULTHOOD which everyone would achieve or so everyone tells me.

Would I try to defy it… unfortunately no one has ever deferred a premonition, even those who were TRANSFORMED to Demon Lords soon after still gets killed by the heroes as promised by their Premonition of DEATH. The pinnacle of monsters known as Demon Lords could not even defy the fates, who am I who is nothing more but a lowly GREYWOLF, defer such Premonition of DEATH.

And so every day, I would court my female friends but to no avail. They just won't get turned on by a child. So I decided to wait to become at least into a TEEN, I don't think that I would die immediately. After constant training with my brothers, we finally evolved into TEEN GREYWOLVES and decided one day to hunt near the shores. That was when I first met that human boy.

He was scrawny and seemed weak, should be an easy target for a better meal. But for some reason he had better luck than I had, I mean when we were about to pounce him, he disappears and is teleported back to his ship. How sly. What's worse is that he had started to hunt us. At first, we laughed at his unreliable bow hands, he missed all of us. We got cocky since we knew that we would not die here because the this was not the day of Premonition… and that in constant training one will eventually become better, we monsters knows this better than any Origins in RESMERE, after all this is how we monster evolve ourselves and our skills. And it happened: I was struck with an arrow in the left chest just barely grazing my heart.

I was dying, I knew because I can feel my LIFE FORCE leaving my body… I can't die, not yet this is not what was promised to me… today was not the day of Premonition. I have yet to get laid…. That guy he was going to ruin my well laid out plan, and here I thought that female GREYWOLF was starting to get in her zone… I hated him… I wanted to kill him… I wanted him dead, how do I kill him please let me be the one to send him to meet the gods...

I have never felt true animosity until now, and the pain added to such an emotion. Then the pain grew intense… A surge of MANA was leaking everywhere, I knew what was happening, I and other monsters have access to the World Knowledge after all. This was a TRANSFORMATION into a Demon Lord… would I become a Demon Lord?

"I will die, no how can I die here, what happened to the absolute promise of me dying by the hands of GOBLINS…" I was delusional, I was gonna die anyway why choose to die later… but for some reason my instinct to live has forced me to cling for dear life.

A lone male was sent to another world. 

Was he summoned as a hero he did not know. 

After all he was alone in a beach, he does not possess any cheat abilities, or powerful equipment. He has nothing  but his white t-shirt, black pants, back shoes and a ship...

In the control room, Lu Zhiyu was standing next an optical projection, the sub-brain David. Standing behind Lu Zhiyu were the lead of the starship program, Gu Chaoran, Fabio Rossi from the Robot Manufacturing Research Laboratory, the original starship designer Molly, and some experts in engineering, computer technology, dynamics and materials science.
These eight people were responsible for the design and construction of the starship Truth. They were members of its management committee. Lu Zhiyu came up with the starship's name, which was also the name of a spacecraft in a movie that Lu Zhiyu had watched a very long time ago and liked very much.
The construction had finally been completed. Truth could accommodate up to 100,000 people. It also was able to store a vast amount of materials and energy reserves. At present, there were only 2,362 people onboard, most of whom were foreign employees.
"Boss, you said that the gravity field device and some transformation devices were still not in place. As such, the current starship cannot enter space," Gu Chaoran said.
Lu Zhiyu nodded, but did not comment further on the doubts that had just been raised by Gu Chaoran. "You have a week to prepare. Everyone can leave Truth with your family. Then, after one week, those who stay will enter the space."
Gu Chaoran then said to Lu Zhiyu, "Mr. Nicholas Debye of the Vatican Clan has made an appointment to see you tomorrow. He will be accompanied by two important people."
Lu Zhiyu glanced at Gu Chaoran, who lowered his head and dared not speak any further. He had heard about Nicholas from the images about the Antarctic event that had been circulated on the Internet.
Although those images had since been deleted, there were still a number of members of the Antarctic base station that had posted images online, which was causing a tremendous sensation.
After seeing them, Gu Chaoran was convinced that his boss was probably from a powerful alien civilization beyond all humans' imaginations. As such, his power was most likely no different than the gods' in the eyes of humans.
At the end of the meeting, all of the people present seemed worried as they all left. After everyone had left the control room, Lu Zhiyu asked David, "Are you ready?"
"Yes, Truth's conversion has been completed," David replied.
Lu Zhiyu, like the sun, emitted lights and floated in the hall. Wherever he went, it became shiny. The starship was affected the most by his presence.
The starship itself was a huge alchemy lifeform. The main structure of its body was metal cells, but these were not mythical metal cells. At this moment, Truth was made up of regular metal cells.
"Divine life form template generated! Template inserted!" David emitted a mechanical sound and inserted the pre-designed starship divine life form template into the metal cells.
Lu Zhiyu integrated the curvature engine, gravity field device, and the protective cover that he had removed from the previous Atlantis Hope into Truth. These three devices then activated the super power of the divine life form template in Truth, which could be freely controlled at will and could even evolve with the other changes in Truth.
Truth now had a mythical alchemy lifeform. So, when it was hit hard, it could self-heal.
In this transformation, the curvature engine allowed Truth to achieve interstellar travel, even without the need for a large number of antimatter fuels, which provided energy for the curvature engine to generate a force field. This became a natural ability for Truth.
With the curvature engine, Truth was able to enter the space, instead of using the magnetic plasma propeller that used lithium hydroxide as a fuel. This was a great achievement, as otherwise, it would take a hundred years for Truth to leave the solar system.
Conventionally, if the speed reached the speed of light, the quality of matter must be infinite. But, with the curvature engine, the combination of negative energy and positive energy could generate the energy field that let the space in front of the field be compressed. In this way, a new space would be created behind the field, pushing the starship forward and allowing it to reach the speed of light.
Also, the gravity field device generated gravity inside the starship. So, all those people inside the starship were living just like they would on earth. As long-term weightlessness would kill red blood cells, destroy muscles, and hearts, only with gravity could people live in the starship for any length of time.
Also, the gravity field could avoid the situation that people inside couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure that was caused by the starship's acceleration. This was because the protective cover was equipped with plasma emitters in the front and at the rear, which emitted the plasma shield to cover the entire starship. At the same time, the high temperature generated by the protective cover could also be managed by the plasma.
These three technologies were all born in Hope, which had completely surpassed the earth's civilization. These new technologies were what reassured Lu Zhiyu of the hopeful future of space journeys.
"What's that? Where is the light coming from?" Lu Zhiyu wondered aloud.
The light shimmered throughout Truth. Many staff members in the central residential area found that the sun overhead became glaring in an instant. 
The lights came from all directions. Meanwhile, Truth was undergoing tremendous changes...


By accident, Lu Zhiyu found the entrance to a low-dimensional world, and thus began a totally different journey!

Free to control everything in the low-dimensional game, Lu Zhiyu felt like a gamemaster, and even God.
