More than a month after the death of the Blood Dragon outside Leping City in the Eastern Realm.

Inside a private room on the top floor of the Zuixianlou restaurant in Leping City.

The cracks in the walls of the private room are filled with alchemical moss, which can absorb all the scattered sound waves.

Therefore, more than a dozen completely soundproof luxury private rooms were created in Zuixianlou, and once the door is closed, the interior is like another world.

After many people tested its soundproofing effect, it became very popular among江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from all walks of life) and wealthy officials.

Of course, soundproofing is relative to others. However, it is different for Wu You and his alchemical creatures. The bio-moss is like a tape recorder, completely recording the conversation inside.

Inside the private room, Wang Fugui and several ordinary businessmen were exchanging information.

"How's the situation in Jiangzhou?"

Wang Fugui asked the one on the far left first.

"The situation is not good. The flood is spreading, and Jiulu City's geographical advantage is gradually weakening. If this continues, Jiulu City will be covered by floods within a month."

The person who spoke revealed a fair and dashing face; he was none other than the vampire that Wang Fugui's former partner had transformed into through alchemy.

Another person then spoke up.

“I went underwater to check, and there were indeed more than one trace of the aberrant organism’s activity. Apart from the one that gave me a great sense of oppression, there were at least several other places.”

Wang Fugui nodded.

"What about the other states? Have any discoveries been made?"

The vampire who went to Liangzhou was the first to speak up and survive.

"Manager Wang, Wei Xi and I have discovered that the situation in Liangzhou is not good either."

"How so?"

“Liangzhou is relatively desolate, with few densely populated counties and large cities. However, according to our investigation, it’s not just recently, but several years ago, that some villages and small towns on the outskirts of Liangzhou have been slowly disappearing.”

It was Weixi who spoke.

"Disappeared? Didn't the local martial arts forces and the imperial court investigate?"

Wang Fugui asked curiously.

Visi continued speaking.

"Of course they investigated, but their findings were mostly natural disasters. For some cases where they couldn't find the cause, they concluded that it was due to a local mass relocation."

"Did you go see it?"

“We went there and found this.”

As he spoke, Visi took out two long gray hairs from the inner pocket of his sleeve.

The two hairs were coated with a thick layer of wax.

Without a word, Visi reached out and carefully scraped off the sealing wax with his long fingernails.

A feeling of disgust that filled everyone present instantly spread.

"A hybrid!"

Wang Fugui, along with the other merfolk and vampires, all whispered in unison.

Wang Fugui paced back and forth in the private room a few times.

"Has anyone made any other discoveries?"

One of the merfolk who was heading to Xuzhou stood up.

"I didn't find any trace of the abomination, but I found this on the seabed."

It also took out something tightly wrapped in cloth from the inner pocket of its cuff.

As he slowly untied the rope, the attention of the people around him was temporarily drawn to him.

A piece of metal appeared before their eyes.

The merman turned the metal fragment over and discovered lines on the back that looked like strange symbols.

These lines resemble another type of metal, almost growing out of the original large piece of metal.

"This is?"

Wang Fugui looked puzzled.

Some of the others present frowned, while others pondered for a moment before becoming uncertain.

It was the merman who took out the metal plate who spoke again.

"Before being given new life by the Lord, one of my subjects was a self-taught communications engineer who was responsible for intercepting wireless signals from cargo ships at sea."

"Therefore, I know a bit about equipment."

He ran his hand along the texture on the back of the metal.

“I think these textures are, loops, loops of technological components.”

Apart from Wang Fugui and two others who were still somewhat puzzled, the other merfolk and vampires all looked surprised.

They quickly gave Wang Fugui a brief explanation of the meaning of the technological components.

This made Wang Fugui uneasy.

This kind of thing shouldn't even exist in the Eastern Realm.

Then it must be from outside.

Who could it be, what could it be, and is it related to the aberrant entity?

"No, we must inform the master immediately!" Wang Fugui said.

“But if our lord doesn’t appear in the Eastern Realm himself, we have no way to contact him using consciousness waves.”

Even a vampire could only offer a helpless answer.

After a brief discussion, the room fell silent.

"Let us extend our tentacles and eyes to every corner of the world, keep watch for any information, and wait for the Lord to descend upon us."

After Wang Fugui finished speaking, everyone dispersed.

However, it actually had another plan in mind: when the situation really deteriorated to a certain extent, it could choose to kill one of the alchemical creatures.

Wu You will definitely be able to find it that way.

However, even alchemical creatures wouldn't want to lose their lives for nothing, so they wouldn't reveal this method unless absolutely necessary.

...

At this moment, the "Eastern Realm" was pulled upwards from the ground to an infinite height in the sky.

You will find that it is an Earth-like planet.

Outside the star system where this planet is located, an unknown number of meteorites are approaching the star system.

These meteorites vary in size and distance, some are close together and some are far apart.

The larger the meteorite, the further back it is located.

Inside these meteorites, large and small, lie dormant dark figures.

Furthermore, they were not directly sealed inside by meteorites, but rather had a thin layer of metal on their surface.

At the current speed of flight, the first batch of meteorites may reach the atmosphere of the "Eastern Boundary" in less than two months.

Where did they come from, and when did they begin to lock onto the "Eastern Boundary"?

How long did it travel in space?

But in any case, the complexity of the aberrant beings far exceeds Wu You's imagination.

It's as if a pair of eyes from beyond the sky are watching over the "Eastern Realm".

However, it is clear that not only Wu You did not expect these things.

Neither the creatures within these meteorites, nor those beings from the meteorites' origin, anticipated the appearance of alchemical creatures in the Eastern Realm.

...

What is Wu You doing at this moment?

After so much time, the treetop manor on the mountain is finally ready to begin construction.

Compared to the complexity of other buildings, the main body of the building uses symbiotic organisms and some special organisms, thus eliminating a lot of complicated intermediate processes.

You can command "building materials" to start growing and constructing the required buildings.

Even more bizarrely,

Architects like Hu Lei hung a large projection device on the tree.

View the manor's 3D architectural model and simply processed CG images alongside a bunch of "building materials".

Where should holes be reserved, where should doors and windows be reserved, where should compromises be made for decoration, and where should expansion be considered.

The vampires nearby would also help Hu Lei and the others translate their own opinions on "building materials".
