Chapter 433 The Great Way is Simple
When the people in the entire city suddenly woke up from a long hallucination, they were shocked to find that the city that seemed "normal" in their eyes had actually been polluted and occupied by strange "planetary parasites" a long time ago, and even the entire planet had become a nightmarish, weird and terrifying appearance. The chaos that would follow can be imagined.
To be honest, it is not the best way to "wake up" millions of people like this - if the "Star Derivative Body" could leave more time for everyone, Yu Sheng would consider letting Irene and Mo Ran cooperate to awaken Mo Cheng from the collective cognitive disorder in batches and stages, make personnel arrangements in advance, and prepare the corresponding comfort and aftermath in advance.
But the "Star-Deriving Body" that already has intelligence will not sit idly by and watch this happen - the only way to tear open the channel is to instantly break through Mo Cheng's cognitive barrier before its "Ascending Body" matures. As for the subsequent chaos... Mo Ran can only find a way.
Now, the curtain has been drawn, and the "reality" has been revealed, and the residents of the city have been awakened from their "daily life" of the previous moment.
In the weapon forging workshop on the outskirts of the city, countless craftsmen were shocked to see that the surface of the old furnace was covered with a thick layer of strange crystals, with crystal clusters emerging from the gaps between the pipes and growing wantonly on the roof;
Citizens were waiting for the coming storm at home. Suddenly they looked up and saw thick crystal clusters covering the windows. The short nightmare of spider webs a second ago still remained in their minds, forcibly maintaining their "awakeness" in a not-so-gentle way. In the mall, customers who were taking shelter from the wind and rain fell into chaos amid screams and exclamations. They suddenly saw a huge crystal tree running through the entire building. However, those crystal branches of astonishing size had actually pierced through the walls and roof hundreds of years ago and even became part of the building.
A beautifully decorated mechanical flower boat, loaded with passengers, dangerously passed through the crystal thorns between the high-rise buildings. People's terrified shouts were heard in the air. Although the flower boat had traveled on this path hundreds and thousands of times, it was not until this time that the people riding it realized that every time they almost passed by those crystals as sharp as swords, the tourists standing on the side of the boat had their faces only inches away from those pale blades...
Chaos began to spread throughout the city. In panic, most ordinary people with shallow cultivation did not know what to do. Even among the practitioners with strong wills, countless people’s hearts were shaken and they could hardly control themselves.
Mo Ran immediately stabilized the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, and then began to contact the heads of various departments in the city. Time was pressing and there was no time to explain the cause and effect of the whole incident. She had to order all the practitioners under the control of Mo City to calm themselves down immediately and maintain order in the city first. At the same time, she ordered the closure of all external traffic in Mo City. From that moment on, no one was allowed to enter or leave the entire city.
Her order aroused doubts from many people, but no one questioned the decree of the head of the Mohist School at this moment.
Mo Ran's last order was to cut off communications between Mo City and all other cities on Shuji, and to intercept all external communication channels including the thousands-mile voice transmission and spiritual communication of letters among the people.
She wasn't sure how useful this would be. After all, no one knew how many ways the cognitive pollution of the derivative star body could be spread. But she was very clear about one thing - the moment Mo City "woke up", the city had become the biggest "anomaly" on the planet Shuji. Before the incident was resolved, all the "voices" and "eyes" on the planet directed at Mo City were harmful.
Even if they are just "compatriots" who are worried about the situation in Mo City.
As for Yu Sheng, after that illusory "roar", he felt the "gaze" coming from the depths of the planet.
A "sight" with astonishing pressure swept across Mo City, and the source of the sight was the planet under everyone's feet. Ordinary people seemed to be unable to perceive its existence, but Yu Sheng felt it clearly - his blood had once soaked the "empty shell" left by the derivative star body in Garrison-3. Now, this connection based on blood once again made him feel the "heartbeat" deep in the Silence.
The Derivative Star Body sensed the crack in the cognitive barrier and realized that a city had awakened.
The silver-white nine-tailed fox flew across the sky, leaving a dazzling streak of fire in the wind and rain.
In front of Hu Li, the ancient refining towers wrapped with countless crystalline substances were shining with a hazy glow in the rain. The city defense formation with these high towers as nodes was closing. Many Mohist monks with panic-stricken expressions were guarding the talisman nodes on the refining towers, and then raised their heads in astonishment, looking at the fire fox flying across the sky.
They received an order from the City Lord's Mansion that "the person riding the nine-tailed silver fox" was an ally of Mo City and all doors must be opened to let them pass.
But in fact, it didn't matter whether they let it go or not, because before the city defense formation was closed, the extremely fast fire fox had already passed through the barrier above Mo City.
Irene clutched a tuft of fox fur tightly, turned her head and glanced at the energy shield that had closed above Mo City. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that their city defense formation is still usable... The whole city has been corroded by crystals."
"The Star Derivative Body will try its best to hide itself during its metamorphosis. If it causes too many unexplained 'abnormalities' in the real world, it will greatly increase the risk of its cognitive barrier being breached. So before becoming an ascending body, He will not destroy the basic functions of the city," Yu Sheng said casually. "But on the other hand... the city defense formation actually has no effect on the Star Derivative Body itself, so it is normal for Him to ignore it."
Irene blinked her eyes. "Useless? Then why did Mo Ran raise this formation?"
“…We’re guarding against people.”
"Defense against people?"
Yu Sheng's expression was solemn: "Beware of people from neighboring cities, those who are still affected by the Derivative Star Body and want to come to 'help' Mo City - they will bring cognitive pollution back again."
Irene's eyes suddenly widened slightly.
At the same time, Zheng Zhi, who was sitting next to Yu Sheng, kept his eyes wide open, observing the situation in the boundless wilderness outside the city.
The wilderness was dotted with jungle-like crystalline structures—many times larger than the crystalline jungle on Garrison-3, and the entire jungle was undulating and wriggling like a living thing.
"In front!" Zheng Zhi suddenly raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction deep in the jungle. "There seems to be a crack there!"
Yu Sheng pressed the fox's head down and rushed in the direction Zheng Zhi pointed.
Just when they were halfway through their flight, an astonishing fireball suddenly rose from the crystal.
The fireball was as bright as the sun, so hot and terrifying that the shock wave swept across the jungle, crushing countless giant crystalline trees into dust in an instant. Only then did Yu Sheng hear the belated roar - the loud noise rolled across the sky, even stopping the wind and rain, causing the rain curtain above the jungle to roll back and scatter, the dark clouds shattered, and even the sun shone briefly on the land.
Amid the roar, Yu Sheng faintly heard a voice——
"Take my Sky-Flipping Seal!"
The next second, he saw another fireball rising from that direction. This time the fireball was even bigger than before - although it was not as big as Hu Li's previous orbital header, it was also a round and smooth mushroom cloud rising into the sky.
Along with the mushroom cloud came a second shout:
"Eat my Hunyuan Demon-Subduing Fight!"
"boom!"
"Eat my Haotian Demon-Suppressing Ruler!"
"boom!"
"Eat my Eight Directions Purification Seal!"
"boom--"
Continuous explosions rose up in the crystal jungle. The dazzling fireballs and shock waves crushed the earth like brutal beasts, stopping the wind and rain, and shattering the clouds. The voice shouting in the explosion sounded particularly familiar.
Yu Sheng was stunned when he saw the earth-shaking noise in the distance. Then he patted the fox's head without hesitation, and the nine-tailed silver fox turned into a streak of fire and rushed straight to the construction site where bricks were flying everywhere.
From a distance, Yu Sheng saw Zhenren Yuanhao standing in mid-air.
The old commander's white hair fluttered in the wind, his long gown fluttering. He stood with his hands behind his back, floating in the air. Layers of mysterious immortal talismans surrounded him, and there were tiny flashes of lightning behind him that formed a huge formation as big as a city. In the formation, there were wind, rain, thunder, lightning, metal, stone, fire and earth, all of which changed back and forth, as if he was interpreting the many laws of heaven and earth, forming a cycle of his own, endlessly.
And between the formations, there were hundreds and thousands of magic weapons floating—
Long, short, thick, flat, with a hole in the middle, with grooves on the edges...
Thousands of magical weapons surrounded Master Yuan Hao and formed another large formation that was constantly changing and reorganizing.
Yu Sheng even suspected that the name of this formation was Tumu.
Hu Li, Yu Sheng, and everyone else on Hu Li's back were shocked by this scene. Irene stared at it for a long time, and finally blurted out: "Fuck, it's that fucking AAA building materials wholesaler Master Hao——"
But the people who were most shocked at the scene were not Yu Sheng and his group, but another group of people on the ground below.
In the devastated crystal jungle, Yu Sheng saw countless deep pits that seemed to be left by a meteorite impact. Heat waves were rolling in each pit, and many black-clothed monks died in them. But even so, there were still strong people holding on - several protective formations with weak spiritual light were scattered on the ground, and under the crumbling shields were several seriously injured black-clothed evil monks. Even through the strange masks, Yu Sheng seemed to see the fear on their faces, but also their crazy eyes because of fear.
Just when Master Yuan Hao was slightly distracted by Yu Sheng's arrival, a black-robed monk who looked to be in the best condition suddenly raised his hand.
A flying sword with a sinister purple light flew out of his sleeve silently.
It was obviously a life-long magic weapon that would not be used easily unless it was absolutely necessary. It took countless efforts to refine it, and it condensed countless mysterious powers. The black-robed monk was very confident in this attack. He knew that this sword was not only extremely fast and powerful, but also had the miraculous effect of concealing murderous intent and breaking spells. The sword also condensed the secret technique of severing the soul and interfering with the mind. It could also leave a bone-cutting and marrow-corrosive effect after each attack...
Master Yuan Hao didn't look back, he just pointed downwards and threw a brick down.
Haotian Demon-Suppressing Ruler, no special effects, attack power 1 trillion.
