Chapter 322 Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpent (Fourth Update)
Qinglong's expression was extremely solemn, almost enunciating each word:
"It's not that a certain mountain peak disappeared, but the entire mountain range!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the already oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became extremely heavy.
Everyone present felt a sense of gravity in their hearts.
No one present didn't know what this meant, especially after Wang Zhixuan had just explained that the existences replaced from other timelines, or even other universes, would be equivalent to the replaced objects.
Mount Olympus, also called Mount Olympos.
It is the largest mountain range on Mars, and even in the entire solar system.
It stands more than 20,000 meters above the Martian datum, is 600 kilometers wide, and covers an area of 300,000 square kilometers, equivalent to ten Da Xuan Treasure Island provinces!
And this is only the height exposed above the surface.
They simply couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying existence such a massive mountain range would replace.
Qingniu and the others, who had experienced the zombie king incident, were even more restless.
"One wave subsides, and another rises..."
Even a strong woman like Wang Zhixuan had a hint of worry in her eyes.
The zombie king replaced by Mu Feng had never even shown his face, and through a crack in the coffin, he had almost turned the entire Xi Ya Mountain range into a forbidden zone, terrifying beyond measure.
And how terrifying would this unknown existence be?
At this time, the threat of the zombie king had not yet been dealt with, and another, even more terrifying threat had been added. Who could remain calm?
"The highest peak in the solar system..."
An Qisheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
No matter how many times his mental senses exceeded those of ordinary people, it was impossible for him to sense what was happening on Mars.
But just thinking about it, he could know that the unknown existence on Mars would be even more terrifying than the zombie king Zhu Shang.
A zombie king was already almost impossible to destroy, and now there was another more terrifying existence?
Xuan Xing, no, this spirit-isolated universe was too defenseless...
No, that's not right. For the universe itself, such an equivalent exchange caused no loss to it at all...
It was just a huge threat beyond description to the solar system, more precisely, to the humans of Xuan Xing.
"Did you see what it is?"
Xu Hongyun asked after a long while.
He had just learned about this matter and was shocked beyond words. This was something he could never have imagined.
"I can't see it."
Wang Zhixuan opened the computer she was carrying, and a video was playing on it:
"A great storm, a dust storm sweeping across half of Mars has risen on Mars. This storm has obscured everything, and it is impossible to obtain any information..."
An Qisheng glanced at it.
The video moved from far to near.
Initially, the starry sky was boundless. As the view zoomed in, the Mars that looked like a dark red lantern could be seen.
As expected, a huge dust storm was raging, making it impossible to see anything.
"Yinghuo guards the heart, a sage is born!"
Xu Hongyun blurted out.
Such a scene made him have to think of such a saying.
Subconsciously, he glanced at An Qisheng.
A thought appeared in his mind: 'Could it be...'
"Old Xu, don't say such mystical things."
Wang Zhixuan glared at him.
"This is based on textual research..."
Xu Hongyun mumbled.
He himself was not sure.
Yinghuo guarding the heart is a sign of chaos. In ancient times, it symbolized disaster, representing war and death, an ominous omen.
A sage is born.
How much death must be exchanged for the birth of a sage?
"What happened on Mars, what may come is unpredictable, the degree of threat is also unpredictable, and even information cannot be collected..."
Qinglong rubbed his temples, his brow furrowed:
"The only good news now is that Mars is very far from Xuan Xing, thirty million to sixty million kilometers away. With Xuan Xing's current technology, it will take more than a year to arrive. For the time being, there seems to be no impact,
If the possible monster doesn't have the ability to travel in space..."
No one could guarantee the latter.
A monster that was likely large enough to carry ten Treasure Island provinces, who would dare say that it didn't have the ability to travel in space?
What if it did?
He who has no long-term worries will have near-term troubles. Everyone understood this principle.
The other captains of the special operations teams seemed to have known about this for a long time, but their brows were still furrowed at this time.
They were not only worried about the unknown existence on Mars.
What they were even more worried about was what the arrival of these strange existences one after another meant...
"No, there's still good news."
Wang Zhixuan raised her head:
"That zombie king has a place where it can be destroyed!"
"You mean, send him to Mars?"
Qinglong's eyes lit up at first, then he shook his head:
"No, that golden coffin is too heavy. The cost of sending it to Mars orbit is too great, and it's not something you and I can decide..."
"One threat is always better than two threats."
Wang Zhixuan closed her computer, but she also knew that such a major event was not something they could decide.
Even the higher-ups would have to hold meetings, discuss, file cases, and finally implement it.
"Ominous omen, ominous omen..."
Xu Hongyun glanced at the sky, but of course he couldn't see anything.
Not to mention him, even if all the Feng Shui masters of ancient and modern times were resurrected, it would be impossible to see what happened on Mars.
However, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
He simply couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying scene would appear in the future.
Several people were speechless, separated by the starry sky. What high-ranking officials of the Special Affairs Bureau, what Seeing God, Gang Jin, were all beyond reach.
All the thoughts could only be thoughts.
They could do nothing.
An Qisheng narrowed his eyes, and with a thought, he communicated with the Da Dao Ji.
Not to mention that Xuan Xing didn't have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even if it did, it was impossible for him to sense Mars from across the starry sky. He could only rely on the Da Dao Ji.
Buzz~
The Da Dao Ji rippled with light like water.
[What was replaced on Mars this time?]
[If the Lord of the Diagram does not provide coordinates and forcibly searches, it will consume 50,000 units of Daoli (ten times the consumption)]
[Search?]
The Da Dao Ji responded.
Just like searching for the zombie king Zhu Shang at that time, except that the Daoli consumed was five times more.
"Five times more than the zombie king..."
An Qisheng's heart sank.
It wasn't that he was stingy with Daoli, but that he really felt heavy.
Searching for Tong Zhengyang, who had the aptitude of a celestial being, only required ten points of Daoli. Even if the forced search without coordinates consumed ten times as much, the original requirement would be 5,000 Daoli!
It was five times that of the zombie king, and five hundred times that of Tong Zhengyang!
Even if it was because Tong Zhengyang had not been promoted to a celestial being and consumed only one-tenth of a celestial being's, it could be seen how powerful this unknown existence was!
As thoughts flashed through his mind, he agreed:
"Search!"
Buzz~
The Da Dao Ji shook slightly.
[Consumed 50,000 Daoli, remaining Daoli 1,050,000]
[Searching... Search complete]
In an instant, words flowed out from the Da Dao Ji, just like before, with explosive efficiency, as if the obstruction of the starry sky did not exist.
[Nightmare Hydra descendant, Russell]
[Born in the Youlin Great World under the jurisdiction of the Witch God Realm, a descendant of the Nightmare Hydra, the top bloodline of the Witch God Realm! Born with nine heads, a nine-lived immortal species that feeds on souls and can travel in the nightmares of all sentient beings.
In nightmares, it is almost immortal and indestructible! The source of its bloodline is the Nightmare Hydra of the Witch God Realm.]
[Original trajectory one: Born in the Shadow Continent of the Youlin Great World under the jurisdiction of the Witch God Realm, a natural Zhushi (prayer), later also cultivated Witchcraft, and embarked on the orthodox path of the Witch God Realm, 'Witch Zhushi'........]
Witch God Realm, Nightmare Hydra, Youlin Great World, Shadow Continent, Witchcraft, Zhushi (prayer), Witch Zhushi...
The information from the Da Dao Ji was much less than the last time he searched for the zombie king Zhu Shang.
But it was enough for An Qisheng to have a rough understanding of the existence replaced by Mars. More importantly, this was another brand-new universe.
Jiu Fu Realm, Huang Tian Realm, Witch God Realm, what will be the next world?
What did the continuous replacement mean?
"Another non-human species..."
An Qisheng slowly opened his eyes, and many thoughts were still running through his mind.
"Our worries and suggestions can be reported, but it still depends on the decision of the higher-ups..."
Qinglong sighed and got up to say goodbye.
Xu Hongyun originally wanted to talk to An Qisheng for a few more words, but after hearing this news, he was no longer in the mood, so he said goodbye with Qinglong and the others.
As soon as everyone left, the courtyard seemed even quieter.
An Qisheng did not tell the others what he knew, firstly because he could not explain the origin, and secondly, because it was meaningless.
Whoosh~
In the breeze of the courtyard, Wang Zhixuan and An Qisheng sat opposite each other, speechless for a long time.
"There's no point in thinking too much. We can only take things as they come."
After a while, An Qisheng digested the information from the Da Dao Ji and said.
In a short moment, his mood had calmed down.
If the threat was coming, how to think about it, how to worry about it, it would eventually come.
"It's just that the world seems to be becoming more and more unfamiliar..."
Wang Zhixuan twisted a strand of her long hair, and a rare hint of fragility appeared on her face.
These days, she had been running around in various laboratories and research institutions. The physical exhaustion was secondary. The mental exhaustion was something that even she, who had formed her dan, could hardly bear.
An Qisheng closed his eyes slightly, and an invisible aura spread out.
Wang Zhixuan's body shook, and a calm and peaceful aura rose in her heart, and her tired mind was immediately relieved.
........
An Qisheng stayed in the magic capital for a week, met many people, and saw many secret institutions. He spent more time pointing out Wang Zhixuan, repaying the favor of her previous guidance.
Wang Zhixuan had extraordinary talent and intelligence. With the successful formation of her dan, and with An Qisheng's guidance, she quickly understood the mysteries of Gang Jin.
After that, An Qisheng left the magic capital.
This time, he did not take transportation again. He walked the earth alone, leaving the magic capital and passing through many cities along the way, feeling the hustle and bustle of the world that seemed to be far away from him.
In the city, the lights were bright and the wine was intoxicating. People were like ants, working hard day and night. Some cried, some laughed, some were troubled, and some were happy. The world was full of different states.
An Qisheng walked in the city, both entering and leaving the world.
Occasionally, he would also work as a fortune teller, helping others solve their problems, measuring words and telling fortunes.
When he was interested, he would also turn a few nerds into handsome men and beautiful women. When he met children with martial arts talents, he would also stay and guide them for a few days.
Of course, more often, he would leave behind locust wood tokens and send them to 'fated people' in various ways.
The locust wood tokens were not easy to make. With An Qisheng's current divine will, without damaging his own origin, he could only make three tokens a day.
Counting the more than a month he sat in meditation on the snowy mountain, he had only saved more than fifty pieces.
And when An Qisheng sent out ninety locust wood tokens again, another month had passed.
On this day late at night, stars filled the sky, An Qisheng sat quietly in the wilderness, lit a bonfire, and took a deep look at the Mars with a hint of red in the starry sky.
He slowly closed his eyes:
"Enter the dream, Huang Tian Realm!"
