January 24, 389 of the Cataclysmic Era
The Mysterious Realm has been opened for the fourth time since its inception.
As a secret realm left behind by an evil god, containing the secret of "fusion" concerning the proposition of evolution, the [Creation Realm] is therefore listed as one of the nine divine-level secret realms in the world.
In the first three explorations, although some information about the secret realm was leaked out, the core was not obtained, and no one truly discovered the secret of fusion.
The three who entered the secret realm this time can be said to be the three most outstanding young people in the Central Plains in the last hundred years. They are highly anticipated by the entire Central Plains and are watched by the whole world.
Chang Le, in particular, has attracted much attention because his "devouring" ability can obliterate the abilities of a certain life form, which is similar to the first step of the fusion experiment of extracting abilities.
The three secretly arrived at Suspended Sword Lake one after another.
In the conference room of the Sky-Mending Tower at Suspended Sword Lake, the three met Gu Lianghan, the chief administrator of the Central Plains Region.
"This time, I will escort you and ensure you can successfully enter the [Mysterious Creation Realm]."
"Now, let's head to the location of the secret realm."
The four of them got into a car, which was guarded by other vehicles on all sides. The car drove underground through a secret passage that was not open to the public beside the Suspended Sword Lake of the Heavenly Tower.
The vehicle was traveling through an underground tunnel. It was pitch black outside the windows. The headlights and the lights at intervals provided a meager light source, allowing the three people to see the places they were passing and their surroundings.
Looking out from the small car window, what stretches to the horizon is a massive steel city built underground.
The roads are intricate and intertwined, with countless metal buildings and tools standing between them, and the interplay of light and shadow creating a scene that is both man-made and awe-inspiring.
Chang Le had heard Shen Fuguang say that when the natural disaster first broke out, humanity was too weak to fight against the alien species on the surface and was forced to hide underground. There was at least one such city beneath each of the nine districts. Beneath Hua'an City was the oldest and most fortified city.
Around 40 years after the natural disaster, more than a dozen powerful beings at the ninth realm emerged in the Central Plains, driving out the alien species on the ground, rebuilding humanity's home, and officially establishing the Age of Gods.
Subsequently, with the recovery and development of technology, underground safe cities have been updated and reinforced time and time again. Today, the scale and sophistication of underground safe cities have exceeded all expectations.
Chang Le had seen the city at the foot of Qianyuan Mountain. It was a wild city with a wasteland atmosphere and metal coverings. The main force of the Dragon Soul Army was often stationed there.
However, the city beneath Hua'an City has a completely different feel from the one in District Nine.
The concentration of technological elements, embodying the pinnacle of human ingenuity, reaches its peak here.
A beam of light, like the dawn breaking through the morning light, was not dazzling but extremely eye-catching. It slanted down from the towering building that pierced the ground, like a long and ancient sword held in the hand of the deity in the statue in front of the building.
She was a goddess draped in gorgeous robes and with her hair piled high in the clouds.
She lowered her eyes slightly, a gentle smile on her lips. With one hand she held a section of withered vine, and with the other hand half-clenched, she held the end of the beam of light that pierced the darkness below in her palm.
Chang Le opened her mouth slightly.
That is Nuwa, one of the creator goddesses in the Chinese mythology system.
The underground city of Hua'an City is not only a refuge, but also the foremost of the four peace bases in the Central Plains—the Nuwa Base.
The four bases are: Zhumen Base on Beixun Whale Island, Xuanwu Base in the South China Sea, Kunlun Base in the Kunlun Snowfield Mountains, and Nuwa Base located underground in this city.
Chang Le asked, "Mr. Gu, is the entrance to the [Mysterious Realm of Creation] located within the Nuwa Base?"
Gu Lianghan said gently, "Yes, but no. Have you heard that the [Mystic Realm] can move?"
He stopped keeping him in suspense and said, "The [Mysterious Realm of Creation] is different from the [Shennong Mysterious Realm]. It is not fixed in one place, but can move around depending on the 'token'."
'Tokens' are similar to 'keys' in some secret realms, and they are also divided into level one and level two. Level one tokens and keys have higher authority than level two tokens. For example, god-level secret realms may have level one, level two, or even level three tokens.
"【Creating a Mysterious Realm】Currently, there are only one Level 1 token and one Level 2 token available. This Level 1 token, which can sense and guide the location of the secret realm, was left behind by the original owner of this secret realm, Mr. Jiufang. It is currently located at the Nuwa Base and can be used to open the secret realm."
As for that second-level token, I think Chang Le should know its location even better.
Chang Le was stunned for a moment, and several images flashed through his mind.
It was a yellow cufflink that Shen Fuguang had shown her. He said it was a token from a divine-level secret realm that he had brought out and stored in Chang Le's "Little Treasury No. 1".
Chang Le nodded slightly: "It was brought out by Fu Guang from the [Mysterious Creation Realm]. It's in the Dragon Sect, but it doesn't have the authority to manipulate or change the location of the Mysterious Realm."
Fu Guang did not tell her the specific purpose of the keepsake.
Gu Lianghan continued, "While we have this time, let me explain the situation in the known areas of the secret realm. Although I believe you are all aware of it, I still need to repeat what I need to say. I'm telling you this again and again, so don't find it troublesome. This is to ensure your safety as much as possible."
After he finished speaking, the vehicle passed through a steel gate cast in the shape of the underground rock and entered the Nuwa base.
Unlike the many tall buildings in the Zhumen base on the ground, the buildings in the Nuwa base are mostly flat, appearing solid and sturdy.
If viewed from the perspective of the Nuwa statue, these buildings resemble little clay figures lying down and sleeping peacefully.
