The night was still and quiet.
The cool moonlight shone on the turbid Yellow River and also fell on the deserted riverbank.
A dark pit suddenly appeared on the Yellow River beach.
The pit is already nearly five meters deep.
Zhang Yiming, with a cold face, continued digging the soil in the pit.
Beside him, besides the yellow clay, there was some darker soil.
This soil looks very hard, unlike what you'd expect from naturally formed soil.
It looks more like an earthen wall built by an earth-type ability user.
The only difference is that the soil at the bottom of the pit doesn't contain the energy of the superhuman.
This type of soil layer is uncommon, but it can be found in other places.
People before the end times naturally assumed this was a natural phenomenon, but in reality, it may have been a trace left by ancient people thousands of years ago.
However, as time passed and the energy in the soil dissipated, there was no longer any evidence to prove that the ancient gods had ever existed.
This is the Yellow River beach, deep underground soil. No one would be foolish enough to dig up the silt near the Yellow River. In addition, there are all sorts of monsters under the Yellow River. It's impossible for a superhuman to openly release earth-based superpowers here, let alone underwater.
This layer of soil covers a wide area and stretches endlessly, almost following this section of the river.
A soil layer with earth-based abilities similar to those of superhumans shouldn't be here.
There are no earth-type ability users with such powerful abilities now, and no one is doing such useless work and wasting their abilities on such a large scale near the Yellow River.
These dark-colored soils are not a single, solid wall, and there is no supernatural energy on them.
Unfortunately, only those with superpowers can release this type of soil.
Zhang Yiming picked up a clod of freshly dug soil and rubbed it back and forth with his slender fingers.
Without much effort, the soil was rubbed apart like sand and fell to the ground.
It's as if, with the passage of time, nothing exists anymore.
Zhang Yiming finally stopped digging; he had already seen the answer he wanted to know.
His eyes were filled with disappointment.
Looking up at the sky, I realized that night had fallen sometime earlier, and I could only see a few stars through the narrow opening.
Beneath him was a thick layer of special soil.
These soils also exist beneath the turbid waters of the Yellow River.
The reason why the blood of zombies can be purified by the turbid Yellow River water is precisely because of these strange soils.
The earth walls released by earth-type ability users do not have a purifying effect, but it cannot be ruled out that the earth layers released by mutated earth-type ability users can purify the black blood.
He thought the soil could help the zombies turn into humans, but it turned out to be wishful thinking.
Even if it could have been done before, it can't now. There are no superpowers on it; it can only barely purify the blood.
Zhang Yiming gazed intently at the stars in the sky, as if he could see a scene where ancient, powerful beings and countless gods and Buddhas existed.
The Yellow River flooded, causing immense suffering to the people.
Yu the Great passed by his home without entering, and finally succeeded in controlling the floods.
His method was not to block it, but to dredge the river.
In that era, there weren't enough people to control the overflowing river, let alone quickly dig a trench according to one's wishes using only one's own hands.
What Yu the Great possessed was probably the same earth-based superpower as today's superpowered individuals.
He used his supernatural abilities to forcibly change the course of the river, resulting in its current direction.
As time went by, the soil from upstream flowed downstream, completely covering the soil layer belonging to earth-type ability users.
A thick layer of silt formed on the upper layer.
As time passed, the supernatural energy in the soil layer beneath the silt gradually dissipated, and some of it has completely turned into normal soil.
The various mutated animals underwater in the Yellow River do not appear to have become so large solely due to this energy tide.
Perhaps they were once trapped underwater by the soil, so the Yellow River no longer has to worry about the old saying that a dragon turning over would cause flooding.
Now that the earth's supernatural power has been exhausted, the energy tide is coming again, and the animals in the river are even more powerful than recorded!
Besides these, the Yellow River seems to possess other special magic, attracting some zombies as well.
However, this special magic was not what Zhang Yiming wanted, so he didn't want to explore it further.
Zhang Yiming held the soil that crumbled at the slightest touch, feeling somewhat lost.
Did those powerful beings of ancient times experience the same despair as people today?
In ancient myths and legends, what were zombies like him called?
Is it a drought demon, or a ghost?
Zhang Yiming slowly pressed his fingers to his chest. After taking Ganmu, he could feel his heartbeat, but the bloodlust in his mind was even harder to control than before.
The Yellow Emperor's daughter died and was resurrected, becoming the drought demon. It is unknown whether she later became human again.
Does the Land of Immortality really exist?
Were those ancient people who died and came back to life cured and reintegrated into human form, living among normal people?
Or... were they expelled and became immortals in the land of the immortals?
Zhang Yiming clenched his fist slightly. He didn't want to be a zombie king, nor did he care about commanding billions of zombies. All he wanted was to become human.
The Kingdom of No Rising is not recorded in detail in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, probably because the ancients also avoided such things.
That's true. Who can calmly face a dead person?
The apocalypse broke out, and so many people turned into zombies, but in mythology, only the Yellow Emperor's daughter, Hanba, was recorded.
Perhaps people at that time wiped out those "outcasts," which is why there are no records of them!
