Ao Yuan spent a peaceful week like this.
During this week, Ao Yuan either ate and drank under the care of Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi.
When he had time, he would go upstairs to observe the group of animals.
Although he had stopped imparting knowledge, they seemed to have fallen into a very peculiar state.
The vast majority of the animals had not yet snapped out of it, but it could be seen that their bodies were now much larger than before.
They were almost unrecognizable from their original forms, looking like demonic beasts that had traveled back from prehistoric times.
A small portion of them had also woken up and, upon seeing Ao Yuan, immediately wanted to follow him around.
Reluctantly, Ao Yuan handed them over to Ao Guang for unified management.
It is worth mentioning that within this week.
After Ao Yuan fed Ao Guang a few Dragon Blood Pills, Ao Guang's transformation was the most significant.
His single horn had now firmly taken shape, and he had grown two claws in front of his belly.
The patterns on his scales had become even deeper, and he already bore a faint resemblance to a flood dragon.
Furthermore, Ao Guang had acquired several innate divine abilities from his memories.
Although they were not exceptionally powerful, they were more than sufficient for the current Ao Guang.
"Now, we just need to wait for these animals to finish their enlightenment, and then we can send them into the small world we discovered earlier."
Seated at the main seat, Ao Yuan was continuously planning for the future while also keeping an eye on the changes in the human world.
He understood that with the resurgence of spiritual energy, when demons grew to a certain level.
There would inevitably be a battle with humans.
This was unavoidable!
Through his inquiries, Ao Yuan discovered that the Great Xia currently had already reached cooperation agreements with several powerful demonic beasts within its borders, mutually agreeing to jointly resist extraterrestrial creatures.
The demonic beasts cooperating with Great Xia were a giant bear, a fierce tiger, and a colossal python.
Based on Ao Yuan's estimation, the strength of these three animals should have reached the Bone Tempering realm.
Although the strength of these demonic beasts was not overwhelming, Ao Yuan understood that this was merely a precursor to the spiritual energy resurgence.
More demonic beasts would surely break through later.
After all, given the sheer number of demons, which among them that could be called kings of their respective species would not be powerful demonic beasts?
Ao Yuan was genuinely happy that Great Xia could cooperate with them.
Because this indicated that Great Xia's measures to deal with the spiritual energy resurgence involved befriending demonic beasts.
This also gave Ao Yuan a sense of relief.
Actually, Ao Yuan was relatively at ease with Great Xia; what he was most wary of were the other nations.
He had experienced firsthand in his past life how disgusting they could be.
Ao Yuan did not believe they would change their ways after his rebirth.
After contemplating the subsequent developments for a long while, Ao Yuan closed his eyes slightly and began to quietly review his gains over the past week.
"It's probably another day until I can level up?"
Over the past several days, the evolution points he had accumulated had reached nearly twenty thousand.
As soon as he reached twenty thousand, Ao Yuan would be able to upgrade again.
"So satisfying."
Thinking of his imminent advancement to the next realm, Ao Yuan stretched lazily, feeling extremely comfortable.
Taking large strides, Ao Yuan prepared to check on the progress of Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi's cultivation during this period.
Unexpectedly, when he approached, he found that neither Dai Xiaomei nor Mo Zi were cultivating.
Even Ao Guang was hovering behind the two of them.
Seeing this, Ao Yuan frowned slightly.
He couldn't help but walk closer to see what they were doing.
As Ao Yuan approached, he was speechless.
He saw the two of them and a beast watching a livestream.
The livestream was in the very center of the city, where quite a few people had gathered.
Yet, time seemed to have stopped; everyone was gazing at the sky from afar, unmoving.
As for the sky, besides a blazing sun.
Well, there was nothing else.
What was the meaning of these two girls and one beast?
What was so fascinating about it?
And they were watching so intently.
However.
Just as Ao Yuan thought this, a distortion suddenly appeared in the sky hundreds of meters above, within the camera's view.
Like ripples on water, dots of ripples spread through the air.
This anomaly instantly drew exclamations from the crowd at the livestream site.
At the same time, many people from further away were drawn towards the scene, and given the context of the spiritual energy resurgence, they were all curious about what was happening.
Soon, police cars from the precinct began to speed from afar.
Their faces were stern, and as soon as they got out of the cars, they started dispersing the nearby citizens.
Among these precinct officers, Ao Yuan spotted a familiar figure.
It was Xie Churan.
"What's going on?"
"Why are there suddenly ripples?"
"I have a feeling this is very abnormal."
"@Wang Wei, Secretary Wang, please check what's happening for me."
"Brothers, after my investigation, I feel this matter is definitely unusual!!"
...
Countless netizens in the livestream chat were filled with curious questions.
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi, who were watching the livestream, were also similarly perplexed.
"What's wrong?"
Ao Yuan, who had also noticed something amiss, asked with a frown.
"Daidaidai!"
At these words, the two girls and the beast were startled.
Upon turning around and seeing it was Ao Yuan, they gradually calmed down.
Dai Xiaomei pointed to the livestream and explained, "We don't know what's happening either."
"But we heard from others that a new small world is about to appear here."
Ao Yuan's heart sank. Before he could say anything,
Mo Zi let out another cry of surprise, "Holy crap, look!"
Ao Yuan and the others turned their heads to look at the livestream scene.
The ripples in the sky were growing larger and larger, and in the very center.
A small, dark void suddenly appeared.
In just a few seconds, the void grew larger and larger.
It was as if a giant crack had appeared in the sky.
"Is this the entrance to a small world?" Ao Yuan asked, puzzled.
As soon as he spoke.
A strange sound suddenly emanated from within.
"Mee!"
The roar exploded, full of power.
From the livestream camera, it could be seen that many citizens of Great Xia had fallen to the ground in a heap.
"Quick, get out!"
Xie Churan, wearing a police uniform, her face turned pale, but she maintained her professional demeanor and loudly urged the people around her.
"Maintain vigilance!"
*Clack!*
As she spoke, several nearby police officers drew the handguns holstered at their waists, while the surrounding citizens scattered in panic.
Unfortunately, their speed was like a turtle's, incredibly slow.
This was not entirely their fault, as there were too many people at the scene, and it was too chaotic amidst this anomaly.
"Mee!"
Just then, a pair of black claws suddenly emerged from the dark rift.
Following that.
A strange creature, over three meters tall, completely black, with black wings on its back, and remarkably long arms ending in sharp black claws, emerged from within.
It had a green face and fangs, its eyes were crimson red.
It looked extremely terrifying.
"Ah!"
"What is this thing?"
"Move aside, quickly move aside."
"Mom, what is this monster? I'm scared."
"Damn it, it's looking at me, get away, I'm going to wet myself from fear."
"Demons and monsters, be gone! Demons and monsters, be gone!"
