"We have to get down!"
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye are both at the level of Initial Gods. If they were to directly shatter the volcano, the Heavenly Stone would likely be broken. Moreover, if the volcano were shattered, the lava inside would overflow, causing incalculable damage to the surrounding environment.
They decided to find a safer way to obtain the Heavenly Stone.
"Hmm!" Si Mingye responded lightly, then took Chu Wanwan's hand and jumped off the volcano.
The temperature of the earthly flames posed no danger to the two of them, but they still felt somewhat hot.
With a wave of his hand, Si Mingye caused a faint golden light to emanate from around the two of them. The heat outside was completely blocked by the golden light.
As they drew closer, Chu Wanwan realized it was a Heavenly Stone about half a person's height. Although it was still not enough to build a spatial gate, it was significantly larger than the previous Heavenly Stones. While Chu Wanwan was somewhat disappointed, it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
With a wave of her hand, Chu Wanwan sent the Heavenly Stone directly into her spatial dimension.
The instant the Heavenly Stone disappeared, Chu Wanwan felt the entire volcano begin to shake, and the magma beneath it began to boil like water, as if it were about to erupt at any moment.
"The volcano is about to erupt, let's put the Heavenly Stone back first!" Si Mingye said with a frown.
If the volcano erupts after they take the Heavenly Stone, it will destroy the nearby ecosystem. Many animals will be buried under the volcanic ash, and the large city beneath the volcano will likely not escape the disaster.
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan moved her mind and the Heavenly Stone appeared on the spot.
The boiling magma immediately calmed down, the volcano's tremors gradually weakened, and it eventually returned to calm.
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
They never expected that the Heavenly Stone would have such a great influence on the volcano, as if it could suppress the volcano's activity.
"It seems that this Heavenly Stone is not only a treasure we need, but also the key to calming this volcano," Si Mingye said in a deep voice.
Chu Wanwan nodded. "It seems that it's impossible for us to stay and witness the rise and fall of this prehistoric civilization. Let's take the Heavenly Stone after this prehistoric civilization ends!"
"good!"
Si Mingye answered in a deep voice.
...
Because of the language barrier, Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye did not enter human cities to live. Instead, they found a huge ancient tree in the primeval forest and built a beautiful wooden house on it.
In the days that followed, Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye settled down in this wooden house.
Besides lounging around in their wooden cabins, they spent their days exploring this prehistoric world, observing all sorts of strange creatures and highly developed civilizations.
Chu Wanwan was full of curiosity about the world, and Si Mingye always stayed by her side, protecting her safety.
Sometimes, they fly high into the sky, overlooking this vast continent and watching the ancient creatures thrive in their natural environment. Other times, they dive into the deep sea to explore the unique marine life.
Every night, they would return to the cabin and snuggle together to watch the stars.
The sky was very blue and beautiful at this time.
Although prehistoric civilizations were highly developed, they paid special attention to environmental protection. They did not over-exploit and utilize natural resources, but instead lived in harmony with the local organisms. As a result, this world still maintains its original beauty and ecological balance.
Inside the high walls, they grew enough grains and vegetables for people to eat, and raised some poultry to provide meat and eggs.
The city's design fully considers the protection of the natural environment and ecosystem, and the buildings coexist harmoniously with the natural landscape, satisfying people's living needs without destroying the beauty of nature.
As time went by, Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye gradually gained a deeper understanding of this prehistoric civilization.
They were deeply moved by the wisdom of this civilization and its philosophy of living in harmony with nature.
The people here respect every life, whether human or other creature, and regard them as part of nature, working together to maintain the ecological balance.
"If war doesn't break out, I think this kind of human society is very ideal," Chu Wanwan said softly, gazing at the harmonious city below.
"Yes! Indeed, I also prefer this kind of human society, but unfortunately, this peace cannot last long."
Si Mingye looked up as a huge flying machine flew overhead. Having lived here for a year, they knew that it was a warship developed by prehistoric humans.
Each major city had several of these warships. They were somewhat like modern aircraft carriers, but much larger, and their offensive power far surpassed that of an aircraft carrier battle group.
“Let’s go and see!” Chu Wanwan said, standing up with a frown.
"good!"
The two took to the air, and Chu Wanwan even drew an invisibility talisman for them to avoid being detected by the warship and attacked...
The warship arrived above the massive city. Its hatches opened, and several prehistoric humans dressed in white robes emerged. They surveyed the city below but did not immediately attack.
Shortly afterward, another enormous warship rose vertically from the city below.
Once the warships in the city were suspended in mid-air at the same height as the previous warships, several men in black robes stepped out of the warships.
The man in the white robe began to speak in a string of gibberish.
As soon as the man in white finished speaking, the man in black pointed at him and launched into a furious, rapid-fire barrage of insults.
Although she didn't know what the man in black was saying, Chu Wanwan inexplicably felt that his curses were very vulgar.
Upon hearing this, the man in white robes said something else, then flicked his sleeves and returned directly to the warship, flying off into the distance.
A few days later, the warship returned. This time, there was more than one warship. Upon arrival, the warships launched a direct attack on the city below.
Chu Wanwan knew she was in trouble. The weapons of this era could even break through protective divine power, let alone the cities below.
But something unexpected happened to Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye.
The once empty sky above the city was now enveloped in a faint, colorful light shield after being struck by the light waves emitted from the warship.
The protective shield seemed to have a life of its own; when attacked, it rippled and deflected all the warship's attacks. The light wave attack was deflected elsewhere, instantly creating a large crater in the ground not far away.
Not only that, a powerful energy surged forth from the crater, like an atomic bomb explosion, instantly engulfing everything in its vicinity. The shockwave, carrying devastating force, destroyed the surrounding trees and grass, sending dust billowing and blotting out the sun.
The energy waves continued to spread, even igniting a raging fire in the distant primeval forest, where dinosaurs roared and fled. But before they could run more than a few steps, they were swallowed up by the energy waves, collapsing to the ground without even a groan.
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye witnessed all of this from the air, and were utterly shocked. They had personally witnessed the power of the weapons in this world, as well as the astonishing defensive capabilities of that mysterious light shield.
