Chapter 764: Boiling Forum

"This!"

Yuan Qinghua's face was utterly terrified, his legs feeling weak beneath him. The massive, mysterious fish tank in the living room, depicting various ancient mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, was a magnificent and vibrant ancient scene. Yet, at this moment, it felt as though a seasoned hunter, long accustomed to mountain treks, was displaying venerable trophies. It was simply astounding.

Coincidence? How could this possibly be a coincidence? True Dragons, Qilins, and countless other ancient mythical beasts all bore the distinctive spiritual aura of their Buddhist and Taoist systems!

"Is this truly an ancient True Dragon?" "It seems our efforts to revive ancient Buddhism and Taoism were not misguided; it's an exact match!" "This shows that our generation is blessed with exceptional talents and heroes, each brilliant and capable enough to restore the glory of ancient myths."

Yuan Qinghua took a deep breath. This True Dragon, in particular, seemed to embody the ultimate achievement of their Asura Path players, representing the culmination of all their research into ancient Chinese spiritual systems!

"Just gazing at this True Dragon... the ancient truth became utterly clear to me. The Dragon – it truly is the representative divine beast of Taoism, appearing in countless myths of Taoist Celestial Venerables." In that instant, he felt as though he was witnessing a condensed segment of ancient mythical history.

"Later, dragons gradually began to appear in Buddhist narratives. Now, it appears that ancient Buddhism used its radiating Buddhist lands to convert True Dragons, transforming them into guardian divine beasts of the Buddhist gate. This perfectly aligns with ancient Chinese history, showing them becoming radiant golden dragons, shimmering with golden light. The historical truth has been unveiled!" In that instant, his initial reaction mirrored Xu Zhi's.

Sizzle! Sizzle! He grew increasingly solemn, gazing up at the sky. The majestic True Dragon was discharging electricity, sparks flickering, and divine power permeated the air.

Yuan Qinghua was utterly dumbfounded. "Look closely! This True Dragon even demonstrates the principles of our Tesla coil discharge!"

What's more, as Yuan Qinghua remained curled in the corner of the fish tank, the next scene he observed left him completely agape: This True Dragon, coiled like a snake, was actively cutting magnetic field lines.

"What?" Yuan Qinghua's eyes widened, his mind a blank. He quickly extended his right hand, clenching his fist, and instinctively tried to calculate the direction with his thumb. "Knowledge truly is power..." To claim this was mere coincidence was simply indefensible!

In this very moment, ancient Chinese mythical creatures had truly materialized before his eyes. As a genuine Earthling, no one could remain calm; he certainly couldn't. The sheer shock he felt was far more terrifying and monumental than anything he had experienced in any sandbox world.

"Is this the truth of ancient Chinese history?" He lay prone in the glass fish tank, gazing out at the living room, murmuring, "I never imagined that just as the Emperor achieved immortality and the major ninth-tier reserves began their final competition, such a terrifying enemy would emerge..."

"The enemy that destroyed our ancient Chinese Earth's divine system – the 'Physical Buddha' and 'Chemical Tao' – those were the beings responsible for the demise of our previous generation of ascended Earthlings..." "...the most ancient forbidden existence!"

Both astonished and terrified, he scrutinized every furnishing in the living room, hoping to glean some information. "It appears the civilization isn't very advanced, perhaps somewhat like medieval China? But this can't be used as a basis! The world of the Three Pillar Gods, after all, seemed even more primitive, yet it was deceptively dangerous."

"But the scale is immense; the furniture in this world is simply terrifying!" "Our bodies are even smaller than ants. No wonder these ancient divine beasts are kept in a fish tank. What kind of extraordinary cosmic world is this?" Fortunately, having previously encountered the unimaginably colossal Great Octopus, he possessed some resistance and could just about process this terrifying sight.

Suddenly, a sound echoed from afar. *Knock, knock, knock!* A series of incomprehensible mental fluctuations suggested someone was speaking outside the door. In the living room, another door opened. A beautiful maid in a white dress emerged and opened the door. Her figure was impossibly vast, with perfect, alluring curves, resembling a Pangu giant who had mastered the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art.

"This person is enormous!" Yuan Qinghua exclaimed, his face etched with shock. He ceased observing the mythical creatures in the fish tank, instead curling up and hiding in a corner.

*Click!* The beautiful maid opened the door. Outside, a simply dressed, dark-skinned middle-aged woman was waiting. She handed over a basket of vegetables and fruits. The two conversed briefly, completed the exchange, and then the door closed.

By all accounts, it appeared to be a perfectly normal, well-to-do household. There were entirely normal social interactions, even a village woman delivering produce. Yet, merely observing the fish tank made it impossible to believe anything was ordinary. A chill ran down his spine. Could they be hiding somewhere, living in seclusion?

"This is truly enormous! That single carrot-like red vegetable must be as large as Mount Shu's Demon Suppressing Pagoda! A whole basket of Demon Suppressing Pagodas!" Yuan Qinghua was scared out of his wits, curling up even tighter, overwhelmed by the sheer terror.

Fortunately, the beautiful maid took the vegetable basket, walked directly through the living room, past the fish tank, and into the kitchen without noticing him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, then expertly dug a hole in the ground, buried himself, and immediately went online to post for help.

"Help, everyone! A mysterious, unknown world has appeared! I've discovered ancient Chinese divine beasts suppressed and put on display. This might be the hidden force that destroyed our ancient Buddhist and Taoist civilizations on Earth!"

As soon as the post went live, the entire forum erupted like boiling water, instantly reaching a fever pitch. Previously, everyone had been debating the future landscape after the Emperor achieved immortality: were the ultra-ancient gods truly dormant? How mysterious were their enemies? But now, before their very eyes, it was truly happening...!

Screenshots. Screenshots. Screenshots. One after another, each screenshot caused everyone's expressions to drastically change. True Dragons, Qilins, and various exotic beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas all exuded Buddhist and Taoist energy. Their mannerisms, and even some of their physical forms, bore a resemblance to their Asura Path warriors, truly befitting their ancient ancestors.

Cute Girl: "Isn't this just too much? Mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, kept in a living room fish tank for display! How arrogant and overbearing! (Stunned)"

Akina Mountain Speed: "Is this our sworn enemy? The one who destroyed our ancient Earth? The great adversary of human civilization, another Trisolaran? How did you get in there? You're in an alien Trisolaran's fish tank, and you're still alive? (Terrifying)"

"I'm still alive, but I feel like I'm going to die very soon." Yuan Qinghua cried out in despair, goosebumps prickling his skin from fright. He felt helpless; it was too terrible. Was it easy to painstakingly evolve a species? He hadn't even had a few seconds to boast before being struck by lightning. Life was just too hard.

He briefly explained the sequence of events to everyone.

Alchemist Emperor: "Don't panic. Based on our deductions, they likely haven't discovered you. World teleportation is probably random and undetectable. As for why you were specifically teleported here, it might be due to a similar aura within the fish tank... After all, we've had methods for targeted arrivals via aura before. (Awesome!)"

Akina Mountain Speed: "Exactly! Don't rush. Take a good look at that terrifying entity and assess this world's situation. It won't be too late to die after that! (You can do it!)"

Cute Girl: "Don't worry, most people would probably be dead by now. If they're feeding the fish tank and see something that looks completely different, they'd certainly realize it's not alive. But can't you use your talent plug-in? You could put some flesh on your skeleton, transplant a few organ plug-ins, and transform into a chimera-like divine beast, pretending you're one of them..."
