Although the original author transmigrated into a dragon, he was still a modern person in his mind, and modern people naturally wouldn't be used to living deep in the mountains and forests.
To make daily life more convenient, the author built a small house at the foot of Mount No Return, near the village of the gods.
The room layout was originally a one-bedroom apartment built by him according to his memory of the room. After Liu Ying came, the author of the original work transformed the house into a two-bedroom apartment, with him and Liu Ying each having their own room, and they never went beyond that.
As the days went by, Firefly learned how to survive here and also learned from the gods that she had been given the name 'Mountain of No Return'.
Upon learning that among the gods who entered the Mountain of No Return, nine out of ten never returned, and the remaining one was either physically disabled or mentally deranged, Liu Ying could only accept this name, which was no less than the Hall of the King of Hell, with a mixture of laughter and tears.
Of course, it wasn't her who harmed the intruders; it's just that there are many magical beasts in the Unreturning Mountain, and those who are powerless against them would naturally have no chance of returning alive.
Even cultivators with some cultivation level would find it difficult to survive in the jaws of a pack of beasts if they were outnumbered and outmatched.
Monsters would occasionally emerge from the mountains and attack the surrounding villages, causing heavy losses to the villagers, who became increasingly wary and fearful of Mount No Return.
But it is precisely because Mount No Return has such a fearsome reputation that no one dares to explore it deeply, which is why the gods and demons have never met and are unaware of each other's existence, thus maintaining world peace from ancient times to the present.
However, it's unclear whether it's fate or something else entirely.
As the relationship between the original author and Liu Ying gradually intensified, the gods and demons could no longer contain themselves and organized their respective elites to march towards Mount No Return, determined to unveil the mystery of this mountain range.
Both tribes roam the same land, so it's only a matter of time before they meet.
Finally, one day, the two groups met in the dense forest of Mount No Return.
Hostility seemed to be ingrained in their genes, so when they met, their eyes turned red instantly, and they started fighting at the slightest provocation.
The place where they fought was not actually close to the original author's residence, but the energy burst from the collision of spiritual and resentful energies affected Mount No Return, and as the mountain spirit, Firefly could naturally sense it.
The battle seemed to be getting more and more intense, and as the damage to the mountain deepened, even Liuying's body was affected.
Seeing her complexion worsen, the author immediately decided to stop the gods and demons from continuing their battle.
Following the guidance of the Firefly, the author rushed to the battlefield and stopped the war from escalating.
The reason why the gods and demons stopped fighting was not because they listened to the original author's words, but because they were both shocked by the true form revealed by the original author.
Only then did they realize that such a powerful magical beast capable of transforming into human form actually existed in this terrifying Mountain of No Return.
Yes, that explains why the previous intruders all had a near-death experience.
Faced with such an existence, who could leave unscathed?
I wonder how many such beings still exist in the Mountain of No Return?
In an instant, the gazes of both the gods and demons toward the original author became fervent—
The formidable strength displayed by the author in the original work failed to intimidate the two sides; instead, it attracted their covetousness.
Absolute power has always been a fatal attraction for ambitious leaders.
Both the gods and demons secretly fantasized that if they could possess such a magical beast, their combat power would surely be greatly enhanced, and they would be able to crush the other race without a doubt.
With such powerful assistance, dominating the world is just around the corner!
So, on the surface, they obeyed the original author's advice and retreated to their respective territories, but in private, they began to frequently extend olive branches to the original author.
The author of the original work felt that as the creator god of the novel's world, it would be unfair to the other side to help either side, so he always maintained a neutral attitude.
Seeing that they couldn't sway this great god, the gods and demons turned their attention to the other demonic beasts in the Mountain of No Return.
While the other monsters weren't as powerful as those in the original story, their strength lay in sheer numbers. In a war for supremacy, having more allies always increases one's chances of victory.
At that time, both the gods and demons quickly developed techniques to form contracts with magical beasts. They discovered that they could control those raging magical beasts and knew that they no longer posed a threat to them. Thus, the dangerous forbidden zone that was inaccessible in the eyes of the world became vulnerable.
Their sense of awe vanished, and the gods and demons grew increasingly arrogant. Those demonic beasts willing to submit immediately signed contracts and were brought under their control, while those that refused were killed on the spot and their cores taken.
The winds of slaughter finally swept over the Mountain of No Return, which had been silent for millions of years.
The author of the original work quickly learned about the actions of the gods and demons.
He was actually quite conflicted about what he should do.
Should we kill people from both the gods and demons to save these monsters?
But these are the people who should be the masters of the novel's world.
When he wrote this novel, he originally envisioned the monsters as tools to assist the gods and demons, making them stronger.
However, looking at the actions of the gods and demons, I felt that things shouldn't be this way...
It shouldn't be done in such a brutal way.
Unable to reach a conclusion, the author chose to listen to his heart and rescue as many magical beasts as possible without killing the gods and demons.
The gods and demons were initially wary of the author's existence and didn't dare to go too far. After all, they could successfully kill other demonic beasts under their siege, but the author was unfathomable.
If the author of the original work were to rise up in resistance, they would likely have to lose many talented generals before they could successfully kill him.
If another group were to take advantage of this opportunity to invade, it would be a catastrophic disaster for them.
This fear didn't last long, because they discovered that the author of the original work wouldn't kill them.
Since this discovery, the gods and demons have become increasingly reckless in their hunting of magical beasts.
This experience gave the author, the author of the original work, a profound realization of the importance of peace for the first time.
If only he were still the creator god who wrote the words... He would surely have tried every means to prevent today's disaster from happening.
Given that such a thing has happened, Firefly, as the spirit of Mount No Return, naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the creatures within.
However, at that time she had not yet fully integrated with Mount No Return, and her abilities had not yet fully awakened. In addition, she had been affected by the war between gods and demons, so she could only barely condense a barrier three miles long, allowing the remaining demonic beasts to hide inside for refuge.
The magical beasts, who originally lived freely in their respective territories, can now only cower in this three-mile barrier, barely surviving, and can't help but complain.
The most complaining among them all said that this was the fault of the original author. If he hadn't gone to all that trouble to quell the war between the gods and demons, the peace of Mount No Return would not have been broken.
More and more Warcraft players echoed this claim, and amidst the uproar, some Warcraft players even considered pushing the original author out of the game in order to find a way out for the remaining Warcraft players.
"You brought this trouble upon yourself, so you should naturally bear the consequences!"
"Those people wanted you all along. If you surrender to them willingly, they will definitely let us go!"
"So many of your kind have already died because of you. Do you have to wait until all of them are dead before you're satisfied? If you go out now, you can still make amends for the sins you've committed!"
...
Every word and phrase is deadly, capable of destroying one's spirit.
Amidst the condemnation of the beasts and self-reproach, the author of the original work increasingly regretted his inaction.
Yes, it was he who attracted their attention, and it was his inaction that emboldened them to become even more unscrupulous.
If he had done something to intimidate the gods and demons back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Those who stand idly by and watch the fire from across the river will eventually find themselves engulfed in flames.
Just when the author of the original work felt he should take on this responsibility, Liu Ying stood firmly in front of him, blocking all the accusations and insults.
“I don’t think this is Long Cheng’s fault. There’s a saying among the gods: ‘A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.’ It wasn’t Long Cheng who brought disaster, but his powerful cultivation. And such a thing also exists in you.”
"Therefore, even without Long Cheng, they would have found you one day. When that happened again, who would you blame? Long Cheng is just an excuse for them."
"Even if Long Cheng really joins their camp, who can guarantee that they won't continue to capture and harm us? So if anyone is at fault, it should be those vicious wolves who covet the treasure."
"But instead of blaming them, you blame a victim in the same situation as you. How ridiculous is that? Just because you can't fight them, do you want to blame the weak for everything?"
"Don't forget, most of you were saved by Long Cheng at the risk of his life."
Liu Ying coldly snorted, "A bunch of ungrateful wretches who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Upon hearing this, the monsters who had been clamoring to push the original author out of the fandom immediately fell silent.
They actually knew... that even if the original work was widely promoted, the disaster might not necessarily stop.
But when faced with danger, everyone wants to struggle to survive... even if it means resorting to any means necessary.
After a long silence, no one said anything more blaming them.
The shadow of death still looms over this three-mile barrier, preventing any living being within it from catching their breath.
What should we do next? What will tomorrow bring?
Everyone wants to ask, but no one knows the answer.
