Chapter 417: Sky Demon Hatchling
"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter whether I become a god or not. I'm satisfied just being able to see you again."
Zhou Xian held Mu Zhong's hand tightly, examining his features closely. "Your father and I have discussed this over the past few days. When Dou Lin ascends, we will follow him. Even if we have to wander the world, we must stay together as a family."
"Mom, I know. Dou Lin told me that you are on the list. This time it's up to you to decide. Although the Divine Realm is dangerous, we are confident that we can stand firm. You can go wherever you want."
"Yeah." After chatting for a few words, Zhou Xian came back to her senses. "Let's go back to the house and sit down and talk. Let me take a good look at you two."
"good……"
When we reunited again, there were no ups and downs, no rhythm, just the simple, ear-to-ear laughter of family members meeting each other.
Later it was learned that the two had returned secretly, carrying out an important secret mission and had to keep a low profile the entire time. The two old men even restrained their laughter, making only "chuckle" sounds, their eyes curved into crescents, and their pupils could not be seen.
In their eyes, these two people were not revered gods, nor were they terrifying gods of disaster, but just their children.
Even if it has grown into a towering tree, supporting the entire world, its roots are still closely connected to these short trees.
After chatting for a long time, there was a knock on the door. It was the chef coming to cook.
Zhou Xian then remembered this and asked the chef to go back today so that she could cook for herself.
Putting on an apron and taking out flour, Zhou Xian said, "Since my cultivation progress has improved, I've actually eaten more. Xiao Fan is the best among Cheng Zhi's disciples and was assigned to cook for us. I haven't cooked for a long time. My skills are definitely a little rusty today because we're making dumplings, but I have to eat home when I go home, so let's do it together and have a happy reunion."
"Okay." Mu Zhong nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the shepherd's purse his mother took out from the storage space was not very fresh, the divine pattern between his eyebrows flashed, and time passed. The shepherd's purse instantly returned to the state it was when it was just picked, with crystal water droplets still hanging on it.
Zhou Xian witnessed this scene with her own eyes, turned to look at him, and Mu Zhong smiled.
Zhou Xian asked quietly, "Isn't it unusable?"
Mu Zhong also responded in a low voice: "This is not a return to glory, want to show off."
Zhou Xian raised her hand and tapped Mu Zhong's brow with her flour-covered finger, leaving a white mark. "Alright, stop showing off. If they find out, we'll be in big trouble."
"Okay, okay." Mu Zhong smiled and nodded.
Wei Huan collected all the undead, and seeing that Mu Dehao was quite interested in the flying monkey, he left the flying monkey outside alone.
While Mu Zhong's parents were in the kitchen preparing food, Mu Dehao and Wei Huan analyzed the situation in the Divine Realm.
The map ball unfolded the world of God's Domain, as well as the currently known kingdoms of God, ruins, and the distribution of various forces. Mu Dehao was dazzled by the sight.
Finally, Mu Dehao looked into the depths of the remains of the ancient god's body, which Wei Huan had specifically pointed out would serve as the "disaster base camp."
After observing for a long time, he said, "You left behind the Ancient Divine Body cultivation method. We are well aware of its importance and have not casually passed it on to others. Currently, all those who practice the Ancient Divine Body cultivation method are members who have passed the assessment.
However, without the Ancient God Crystal, the Ancient God Body cultivation method progresses very slowly. Only your mother, Mu Xi, and I have made good progress.
Recently, they discovered that they could cultivate the Ancient God Body in the Dark Beast World, so I went there as well. There, the initial cultivation speed can reach one-tenth of that when using Ancient God Crystals, and the gap will widen further in the later stages.
I think it’s because the Dark Beast World is closely related to the Ancient Gods, and the Ancient God Crystals you obtained in that world allowed them to discover it.
Fortunately, when we selected the candidates, we conducted strict assessments, and even if everyone wanted to explore the ancient god's body again, we stopped them."
Wei Huan heard the hidden meaning: "Are you a little worried?"
"It's a crime to possess a treasure." Mu Dehao sighed. "You also said that the Lord of Flesh and Blood and other main gods, even the Lord, might be interested in this ancient god cultivation method. So this time when I leave, I want to take everyone on the list with me."
Wei Huan asked, "Among them are many powerful figures who are pillars of the human race, right?"
"Indeed, the top brass is almost wiped out, including experts from all fields. Once they are all taken away, the Blue Star Legion's deterrent power to the human race will be greatly reduced."
Wei Huan smiled and said confidently, "The four gods are from Blue Star. How foolish they must be to dare to suppress their clan."
"That being said, outsiders won't think so."
"The foreign tribes have been severely injured and it will take a hundred years to recover. If they really refuse to submit, before we leave, we will have Dou Lin personally attack them and completely cripple them."
Mu Dehao was stunned for a moment, then smiled broadly, "Right, right, that's your style. We're strong, so why bother trying to be so awkward? Since you're worried about what happens after you die, then just go for it and widen the gap."
Mu Dehao had been retired for many years, living a life of retirement for so long that he felt he had lost his edge. But now, talking to his son-in-law, he felt the blood in his body boiling again.
He pointed at the ancient god's ruins at the "Calamity Base Camp" and said, "Retirement life really isn't for me. Once I get there, let me continue to shine. Land reclamation and construction are my forte."
"What's your specialty?" Zhou Xian, halfway through, came out carrying the kneaded dough and minced meat. "I heard you were going to open up new land somewhere? Are you still capable of that at your age?"
Mu Dehao naturally took the rolling pin, picked up the basin, and kneaded the dough while smiling and saying, "I can do it, I can do it. I've been so idle these past few years that my bones are falling apart. It would be best to find something to do."
After saying this, Mu Dehao looked at Wei Huan and said, "The Divine Realm is not a world that ordinary people like us can manage. I know the importance of things. Just assign me some tasks to do, and I will do my best."
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "No problem, Dad, continue to be my subordinate."
Mu Dehao remained calm about this and simply asked, "Do you have a plan in mind for this construction?"
"There are some, but they still need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Come with me, and if you really can't get used to it, we'll send you back."
"I can endure hardship and enjoy the process, don't worry. When Challenge World first came, I never knew what would happen every day when I opened my eyes. So many people died around me, leaders sacrificed their lives, soldiers sacrificed their lives, but in the end, I still had to grit my teeth and persevere. As a person, you can't say no to yourself. Once this spirit is lost, you are useless."
Wei Huan listened and looked at Mu Zhong with a smile.
Mu Zhong was picking up the dumpling wrappers to make them when he felt Wei Huan's gaze and looked back.
Wei Huan said, "Your parents are both very outstanding. You are very similar to them."
These words made the old couple's faces glow and they looked full of energy!
After staying at home for two days, Mu Xi was about to come back, but she asked someone to tell her that she planned to practice in Fudi Dongtian for another month and would not come back this time.
Others have time limits for entering the blessed land, but she does not. She can stay as long as she wants, so it is normal for her to send back messages when she has insights.
"This kid." Zhou Xian muttered, then asked the messenger, "Is she about to break through?"
"I don't know about that."
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Xian took some gifts and gave them to the person who brought the message. Then she turned around and looked at the three people behind her. "How about I go in and call her?"
Mu Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go in and take a look together? We haven't seen that blessed land for years. Besides, if Xixi is close to a breakthrough, we should not disturb her. Anyway, let's go and take a look first."
After saying that, Mu Zhong turned to look at Wei Huan. "Do you mean to go together?" Wei Huan nodded.
"Let's go too," said Mu Dehao.
"good."
Wei Huan raised his hand and summoned an ordinary ground beast as a means of transportation.
Dian Ma was a super-god-level summoned creature, possessing not only a vast amount of divine power but also the power of ancient gods. This small world could not withstand the pressure of such a god-level creature. Not only Dian Ma, but all of Wei Huan's god-level summoned creatures were unable to appear.
But even if it is just the most ordinary earth beast, its strength in this world is quite terrifying.
This ninth-level earth beast, due to the progress of Wei Huan's law, has been promoted to the upgrade of the dirty soil, and its combat power is much stronger than that of a normal ninth-level challenger.
As soon as it appeared, it made Mu Dehao and Zhou Xian breathless.
Mu Dehao is now Sequence Nine, but Zhou Xian is only Sequence Seven.
In the past, she tried to give the disabled Mu Chong a glimmer of hope, and her foundation was damaged. If Dou Lin hadn't been sending "stars" to Zhou Xian all these years, she probably wouldn't have been able to advance to Sequence Five.
Ordinary undead didn't know how to restrain their power, so Wei Huan manually suppressed the earth beast's momentum, and Zhou Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Zhong took out a portable tent from the space, placed it on the back of the ground beast, and went to meet his parents.
Wei Huan finally landed on the back of the Earth Beast, raised his hand and wiped it, thus blocking the existence of the Earth Beast.
The earth beast flew straight into the sky, and the protective shield had no reaction. No matter how clever the methods of mortals were, they were useless in front of the gods.
They flew up along the World Tree at an extremely fast speed, and along the way they met a convoy of 100 vehicles of the Challenge Army also going up.
After passing the convoy, Mu Dehao said, "Oh, I remember now. Today is the annual rotation day, and these cars are going to change shifts."
"Is it changed once a year now?" Mu Zhong remembered that it was changed every three months back then.
"These soldiers now are different from you back then. Although you are stronger, the cohesion centered around Wei Huan is very strong. Even though you are training in this blessed land, you still yearn to return to the chariot in your heart. You guys regard the chariot as your home."
Mu Zhong recalled the past and said with a smile, "That's right. A day without seeing you feels like three years. The speed of time in this blessed land is twice that of the Challenge World. I really miss it."
After saying that, Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan, who was also looking at him. All the past events came to his mind, and the two smiled at each other.
In a flash, so many years have passed.
The ninth-level Earth Beast flew very fast and surpassed the convoy in a blink of an eye. It soon reached the top of the World Tree.
The World Tree has been growing over the years, but it has not continued to grow taller, it has only developed horizontally, so the passage in and out of the blessed land is still the same.
When Mu Zhong was alive, he made this entrance and exit as impregnable as a rock, and now it's like a fortress.
It not only defends against monsters that may escape from the blessed land, but now it also has to guard against some restless groups, organizations or individuals.
While Blue Star possesses four deities and the Challenge Legion is formidable, few dare challenge it. However, over time, numerous powerful private organizations and secondary forces have emerged, many of them experts. Some are deeply dissatisfied with the Challenge Legion's control of all resource points, and any dispute could easily lead to war.
As long as it is not excessive, the gods do not have the time to interfere in all the internal strife within the human race.
This fortress, while impregnable both internally and externally, was still powerless to stop the gods. However, to prevent the noise of the portal from disturbing the garrison, Mu Dehao took the initiative to meet with the base's top leader.
The highest leader of the base was once Mu Dehao's subordinate. He had great respect for the old marshal and personally escorted them into the transmission channel.
His only puzzlement was why the old marshal didn't even bring a guard with him and only took his wife to the blessed land.
After hesitating for a moment, the base leader returned to the office and reported to his superiors.
At first, the leader said anxiously, "You're confused! Monster World issued a Level 2 alert three days ago, and everyone is on standby. If anything happened to the old marshal in there, you know the sky would fall! Why don't you quickly arrange a team of guards to go there? And what about the guards around the old marshal? This is dereliction of duty!"
The base leader was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and nearly fell to the ground when he stood up. Trembling, he gathered everyone and hurried to the portal area.
At this time, the leader sent another video message: "Uh, no need, no need. The old marshal has a special situation, and the guards can't follow him. Just pretend nothing happened and the old leader never came."
The base leader was completely bewildered by the orders. After returning home, he pondered over the matter and privately sent a message to his superior: "I'm really worried. Can you give me a hint? Is the old marshal really okay?"
The leader laughed and said, "If you have any problems, he will have no problems. Just wait, something big will happen soon."
"Good or bad?"
"Good thing."
"oh……"
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong accompanied their parents to the blessed land. As soon as they arrived, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked at each other and their expressions changed slightly.
Wei Huan's spiritual consciousness entered the world of ancient gods, found the Lord of Light, and asked Him to come out and check.
This old man Guangming was a complete research fanatic. After passing the "Wanfa Daohua" to Wei Huan, Wei Huan let him enter the world of ancient gods.
When the old man arrived here, he didn't want to leave. He built a house for himself in the paradise opened up by Wei Huan, and then went to the border of the ancient god world. This research took several days.
When Wei Huan called him, he was reluctant to come out. That was until Wei Huan showed him the outside world and said, "This world is different from the Kingdom of God. Is this the original world?"
The Lord of Light stopped his research and flew straight outside. He looked for a long time without saying a word.
Mu Dehao and Zhou Xian looked at the luminous old man who had suddenly appeared and immediately guessed his identity. This was the Lord of Light. Even if it was just a remnant of his soul, he was still incredibly lofty and majestic in the eyes of ordinary people.
The Lord of Light looked at this world for a long time, then looked at Wei Huan and asked, "Why do you call it the original world?"
Wei Huan thought for a moment and said, "Should we call it the Ancient God World?"
"You are very clever." Seeing that he was right, the Lord of Light no longer concealed his true intentions. "The Ancient God is the God of Creation, and this is a world with complete laws. The current Gods of Law all come from the Ancient God world, but they have gone against the grain and established the Ancient Killing Alliance."
When Wei Huan heard this, he could already imagine the ending of the story.
The Lord of Light was in a bad mood; this incident had touched a wound within him. He then casually remarked, "Old Gods are now rare in the world. Each one is a precious treasure, helping one comprehend the laws during the mortal stage. Your race is quite fortunate."
After saying this, He nodded and said, "I'm going back now. If you don't have anything important to do, don't bother me."
After the Lord of Light left, Mu Zhong said to his parents, "This is the Lord of Light. If it weren't for Him, we wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the Divine Realm, nor would we have been able to return. Wei Huan and I deeply respect Him and consider Him our teacher."
Mu Dehao nodded: "Learning never ends, and we must respect our teachers."
"Yes, father."
Afterwards, Mu Zhongcai said to Wei Huan, "So this is the world of the Ancient Gods. No wonder my Ancient God cells became agitated the moment I entered here.
The rules here are different from the world of laws, and also different from the rules of the world of challenge. That's why we have the opportunity to cultivate and consolidate our abilities."
Wei Huan said, "The small world within me has just formed and is still evolving. I can see that, in the end, it will become this small world.
Although this world is small, it is extremely real, with all five elements and clear laws.
The world power of an ancient god world is comparable to the world power of ten divine kingdoms. No wonder we who cultivate the ancient god body are much more powerful than the law god. "
Upon hearing this, Mu Dehao asked in confusion, "I also cultivate the Ancient Divine Body, so why don't I have the feeling you describe?"
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "The cultivation of the Ancient Divine Body requires the power of the gods to begin with, and only the gods can unleash the full power of the Ancient Divine Body and evolve into a world.
You are not gods, you can only refine your cells, and it takes a long time to refine each cell, so naturally you cannot feel the same way as us."
"Oh." Mu Dehao nodded. "Every time I refine one Ancient God cell, my strength increases by 10%. Now that I've refined five cells, my strength increases by 50%. In fact, the guards assigned here are no match for me. They only think I'm good at professional training, but they don't know that I've also cultivated both physical and spiritual skills."
"Practitioners of both physical and spiritual practice? That's right, this description is very appropriate." Mu nodded and smiled.
Without alerting anyone, they left the fortress beside the passage, passed through two portals in succession, and arrived at the central area of the Monster World, which is called the "Monster World Headquarters."
This was once the lair of the celestial demon, a plateau far higher than other places.
The nearest location they teleported to was only at the edge of the plateau, and they could not directly reach the headquarters of the Monster World.
Such an arrangement is naturally just in case.
However, surprisingly, as soon as they were teleported over, they found a large number of chariots waiting to be teleported away.
Mu Dehao said sharply, "There are over a thousand chariots here, and the total population is probably around 50 million. The number is wrong, and the direction of transmission is not the direction we came from. It seems that something has happened somewhere in this world."
Mu Zhong said, "I'll have Iron Heart gather information, and we'll know soon."
Zhou Xian asked, "Do we still need to go to headquarters? If there's an operation, Xixi will probably be involved."
Zhou Xian finished speaking, a look of worry on her face, "Xixi has reached a bottleneck in her cultivation, so she chose to undergo a life-or-death breakthrough. Perhaps that's why she didn't come back this time."
"There's news," Mu Zhong said quickly. "A few days ago, headquarters issued a Level 2 riot alert for the Demon World. I think the martial law we've been under along the way, and the convoy we saw on the way here, are all due to this."
"This little Wang didn't even notify us." Mu Dehao was a little angry.
Mu Zhong said, "A notice was issued three days ago prohibiting entry and exit to the blessed land. I guess you and my mother were oblivious to what was happening outside and missed the news, and Uncle Wang also assumed you knew..."
"Then I understand why Xixi didn't come back. Alas, the leisurely life almost makes people stupid."
"Forget it, I'll send Xixi a message. Don't mention any surprises." Mu Dehao was a little depressed.
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "I already know where Xixi is, so I still have to give her a surprise."
"You go first." Wei Huan suddenly said, "I have to go to the headquarters and will find you later."
"What's wrong?"
Wei Huan frowned slightly. "Do you remember the headquarters here? It used to be the lair of the Sky Demon. I couldn't understand it at first, but I just discovered that the space here is very unstable."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhong released his spiritual sense in surprise, but his spiritual sense was not as good as Wei Huan's, and he did not notice anything unusual.
"Then I..." Mu Zhong wanted to go and take a look with Wei Huan.
Wei Huan said, "Go to the battlefield and take a look. Demonic riots are not uncommon, but it's better to be cautious. Find Xixi and protect her. I'll go over there and then leave."
"Okay."
Mu Zhong no longer hesitated. Since there was a hidden danger, it had to be eliminated.
He wrapped his parents with the law of time, the timeline contracted and then expanded, and the next second they were thousands of miles away.
In terms of movement speed, he is much faster than Wei Huan who does not use the ancient divine body.
Wei Huan drove the Earth Beast with all his strength and soon arrived at the headquarters.
He raised his head, a golden light flashed in his dark eyes, and his divine gaze swept over, revealing all the evil spirits and monsters.
Seeing this, Wei Huan felt a slight chill on his back.
I saw that within a thousand miles of the headquarters, in the void that ordinary people could not see, there were many space holes that seemed to have been eaten away by termites.
There were hundreds of dark holes at the entrances of the caves, and the breath of life emanated from the depths.
The largest and most threatening one is the huge space wormhole located above the headquarters, which looks like a big mouth with fangs exposed, as if it wants to swallow the headquarters in one gulp.
Wei Huan flew over the headquarters without stopping and flew straight towards the huge wormhole.
There must be various powerful restrictions here, coupled with the innate abilities of the Sky Demon Clan, which is why humans have not discovered it until now, and it has been hidden above their heads.
However, the threat posed by this restriction to Wei Huan was not as great as the wind of laws blowing from the lower divine realm. He flew in without triggering any restrictions.
After entering, Wei Huan discovered that this restriction, in addition to blocking and preventing human perception, also had another function, which was to suppress the ability to absorb the laws of this world and seal it up.
I think they are afraid of the human race on Blue Star, so they are hiding like this.
Wei Huan drove straight into the wormhole and soon arrived at the central area.
There, he saw two young celestial demons, one black and one white, only the size of wheels.
The two young celestial demons curled up together, emitting a strange aura. The surrounding space was distorted and vibrating due to their existence.
As soon as Wei Huan approached, they seemed to sense something and slowly opened their eyes, their dark green vertical pupils revealing vigilance and hostility.
