Chapter 768: The Courage of the Era

In the manor.

"He's gone, gone, gone! Been missing for three days."

Yuan Qinghua, extremely cautious, had been secretly observing from inside the fish tank for a long time. After confirming there was no danger, he couldn't resist breaking out of it.

*Thump, thump, thump.*

Although the fish tank was unusually sturdy, it couldn't withstand the assault of a Seventh-Tier Heavenly Emperor like him and soon shattered.

"After a century of consuming pork and carrots, each as colossal as a hundred-story skyscraper, from the market, I have finally cultivated myself anew, reaching the peak of Heavenly Emperor. It was a natural progression." Yuan Qinghua looked at the various exotic beasts beside him. "Charge with me!"

Exotic beasts, smaller than ants, crawled out of the fish tank like mites. They looked at the enormous living room, gazing at the ceiling chandelier as if it were the sky, feeling utterly awestruck. It was like dolls from a toy city entering a giant's metropolis.

They went out the door.

They arrived at a country path and saw enormous black-shelled beetles perched on colossal, sky-reaching flowers, flapping their wings. The scene was filled with vast, ancient primeval beasts.

"So big!"

"Could this terrifying world be the legendary Primordial Era?"

Yuan Qinghua, who had transformed into a creature unlike any known animal, was shocked. "Go, attack."

The True Dragons and other exotic beasts present were all at least at the third or fourth tier. Bullying a large but ordinary creature was effortless for them, like a Hulk tearing through a hundred-meter-tall paper building.

*Whoosh—*

Their figures pierced through. The beetle seemed to be impaled by a tiny needle, and immense energy nourished their bodies.

"Kill, keep killing!"

"Don't spare a single blade of grass or a single tree."

Yuan Qinghua completely unleashed himself. Killing just one beetle yielded such gains; what about other creatures? They went on a killing spree. Encountering a creature that resembled a wild rat made them even more excited, as the energy they obtained was unbelievably vast. They vaguely seemed to align with the combat style of the previous generation's Zerg Mother Queen.

As they continued their slaughter, Yuan Qinghua couldn't help but post online:

"Brothers, this giant world offers immense advantages for creatures of our ultra-small size! After all, we're tiny, and we need very little energy!"

"So, what should our next step be?"

The internet had already transformed into a top-tier think tank. A bunch of scoundrels and cronies threw out all sorts of random ideas. After all, they were all very excited. They had already begun exploring a mysterious region of the world that even the Ancient Gods, the Three Pillar Gods, Caroline, Emperor Qi, and others had yet to touch.

"Of course, we should teach martial arts!"

"Initiate a spiritual energy revival in this world, teach them our system, let them become inheritors of Buddhism and Taoism, and infiltrate the enemy lines."

"Divine Dragons appearing on Mount Tai, flying dragons in the sky, the Ancient Starry Road opening, nine dragons pulling a coffin!"

"Qilin auspiciously appearing in the Bohai Sea, amidst a cross-sea bridge, radiating dazzling golden light, passing alongside cars and high-speed trains!"

"Are you guys crazy? An ant-sized divine beast – will people need a magnifying glass to be shocked by it?"

Everyone immediately realized their folly.

"Cough, cough, cough. In my opinion, we should first lay low and develop our divine beasts. As a Heavenly Emperor, you can create inner space rings, or even internal spaces within your body, and cultivate the pseudo-Nine Revolutions Profound Art!"

"Right, cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, then transform into the Pangu True Body, becoming the same size as the people in this world! Then we can go out and show off, triggering a supernatural revival!"

"Damn, that sounds like a death wish! If it gets too big, it's completely normal to get killed!"

"Didn't they say that in half a year, Zhongzhou and Dongzhou, the two great nations, would be in a technological race, investing trillions in research funds to prepare for a moon landing? What if we sneak in and secretly observe the moon?"

"I think that's feasible. We can take the opportunity to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, and the images captured by satellites will leave people dumbfounded!"

They began to finalize their plan: lay low and develop, cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, see how things unfold, and then join the moon landing for some excitement. Yuan Qinghua also agreed.

"You're going to the moon too? You really seek death wherever you go." Xu Zhi's expression turned strange, but he couldn't be bothered to intervene. Let them develop freely.

In reality, that manor was merely a temporary residence after all. There were no wizard sandboxes or ancient cellars. After the AI butler girl briefly tidied their luggage, Xu Zhi and his companion left directly.

They walked down the street. It was a pedestrian street paved with exquisite granite slabs, with black motorcycles parked outside. On the street, many divine-sense voices could be heard.

"What haircut would you like?" The colorful signboard of a barbershop flickered. Inside, customers were draped in black cloths as they had their hair washed, cut, and styled.

"Hello! Do you have any clothing needs?" In a luxury clothing store, beautiful women in black, form-fitting uniforms, with graceful figures, greeted incoming customers with professional smiles as sales associates.

Furthermore, in some luxury jade shops, a noblewoman stood at the counter, holding a luxurious handbag. A slender beauty explained, "This is a Moon-Hook Jade, inlaid with gold. As you can see, the carving of this rose tree is exquisite, symbolizing auspiciousness."

"As you should know, our Manwei International Ocean Company excavated this from a mining area within the great explosion center of Moonfall, in a prehistoric war ocean... It carries a very strong aura of auspiciousness; it's a blessing from the great Moon God Ji! Wearing it long-term, its magnetic field and aura will nourish your body!"

There were over three thousand nuclear explosions in the prehistoric war. Most of them had sunk to the seabed. The deep-sea mining areas at the epicenter were still filled with powerful radiation, making them very valuable spiritual minerals. Many ocean companies risked their lives to continuously mine in the oceans between continents. However, the ultra-heavy radiation zones at the core were still beyond what ordinary people could endure. Most of the laborers there were enslaved workers who had been smuggled in and forced to mine.

"Would you like a beauty treatment? We use acupuncture to relax your blood vessels and meridians." Inside a room, a female masseuse was giving a beauty treatment to a client on a bed, smiling gently. "You have too many pimples on your face because your blood isn't pure enough... We can replace your blood with new, oxygenated blood... Don't worry, we're not like those illegal beauty clinics. We perform full aseptic sterilization of the blood. Once your qi circulates perfectly, your facial skin will clear up."

On the street, street performers were singing. They used special divine-sense instruments, with vibrating structures similar to strings. Some street Qigong masters demonstrated peculiar yet simple qi abilities and radiation powers, attracting onlookers who were very interested in these nascent so-called martial arts.

"Reject discrimination against Barbarian Continent people." A bronze-skinned girl, dressed in ethnic minority attire, with a face full of freckles, long black hair cascading over her shoulders, and a petite figure with surprisingly shapely and long legs, had metal bells adorning her entire body. "Please give us a hug!"

Xu Zhi walked up and gave the girl a hug.

"Thank you for your support," the girl said excitedly, holding up her sign.

"This is a wonderful era," Xu Zhi smiled gently. Without waiting for the girl's reply, he turned and left with his maid.

"Yes, a wonderful era indeed..." The girl replied happily.

She turned her head to look at the large TV screen in the nearby plaza. A news anchor, dressed in a black, laurel-patterned Moon-Observing robe, was reporting the day's news.

"The Zhongzhou Moon River Institute's Revered Moon-1 is about to land on the moon! National live television broadcast! Let us witness a miracle of history! Let us personally witness the origin of planetary civilization!"

"Witness the gods!"

"Witness our story!"
