Chapter 135: Strike First and Gain the Upper Hand; Strike Later and Suffer a Defeat
Shangguan Yanru knew that her plan was crazy, but she couldn't guarantee that it would be executed smoothly, and even if it did, there was a possibility that the uncertainty within would completely overturn her plan! Even if she found several energy crystals and successfully detonated them, the uncertainty inside might still cause her to lose everything, including the disastrous virus! Before searching for the next energy crystal, she had to produce as much of the viral liquid as possible, and even conduct experiments in a specific area...
The disasters caused by the changes in heaven and earth are far greater than those that can be created by human beings. The global crustal movement has reduced the number of living things on the earth by one-third, with the most severe disaster occurring on land, where the proportion of affected creatures is as high as four-fifths! Many species have completely disappeared, and if another change were to occur, it could be said that only one in ten thousand would survive.
Mountains and rivers change their appearance, in this greatly influential transformation, destined to be a new beginning! At this time, the earth is a combination of disaster and rebirth, abundant energy and massive heavenly power nurture new life, and it is also an ideal cradle for the evolution of surviving creatures.
Apart from the great Tang Dynasty, which was able to maintain its own civilization, other countries that experienced the Tang's invasion and the disturbance of war alliances completely lost their own civilizations in this great change. In the midst of a great crisis, there are also hidden great rewards and unpredictable opportunities. They returned to nature, with nothing, they began to nurture a civilization that truly belongs to them in the harsh environment of survival.
Fighting against the heavens and earth, humans in the pioneering era developed all their potential within their bodies. The abundant energy from their cultivation allowed them to continuously upgrade their skills based on their own development. The movement of the earth's crust even revealed some ancient ruins, such as the lost continent of Atlantis that later generations had always speculated about!
Six new continents are arranged in an interesting way. The North and South Poles form two polar continents, with the original Asia as the center, the continent to the east is named Eastern Europe, accounting for about 20% of the world's land area; the one to the west is named Western Island Continent, which is a continental island, occupying about 14% of the global total area. The continent located in the southwestern part of the Western Hemisphere is named Transcontinental, accounting for about 24% of the world's land area.
The southern and northern continents account for about 21%, the continent where Datang is located accounts for about 35%. It is called Zhongzhou! The six continents are connected in a discontinuous manner by a sea island like silk, starting from Zhongzhou, connecting Antarctica, then extending directly to the Transcontinental Land, followed by Eastern Europe, Western Island, and the Arctic Continent, finally passing through Zhongzhou. This connection line has one or two special breaking points in the middle of each continent. These special breaking points are special because the sea area between the two huge islands is filled with huge vortex domains!
This whirlpool area covers an area of about 100,000 square kilometers. The rapid flow rate can easily tear apart giant wheels, and even the sky above is a no-fly zone for birds, unless they fly more than 10,000 meters above to escape the violent cyclone, it can be said that it is a kind of natural barrier set by nature!
People on the Eastern European continent, in their struggle for survival, acquired two mysterious abilities. One is based on their own quality, developing a theory that distinguishes itself from the Great Tang's cultivation - they call it Dou Qi; one is to activate the mysterious area of the brain, communicate with heaven and earth, and use various energies between heaven and earth to fight - they call it Magic!
The survivors on the Western Continent, based on the forbidden life sciences, developed a way to extract and absorb the essence of various beasts without changing their physical form. During battles, they would activate the beast's essence within them through secret methods, unleashing terrifying combat power. They called this ability the "Divine Illusion Inheritance Power" and referred to themselves as "God Warriors".
The people of the Transcontinental were fortunate, for when disaster struck and the heavens changed, they found a massive ruined city - Atlantis! Inside, they discovered a strange stone that emitted a green glow, which enveloped all who entered, including humans and beasts. The creatures affected by the light fell into a deep sleep, awakening three days later. When they awoke, they saw the beasts and were amazed. Both sides felt an inexplicable connection: they were partners, destined to fight side by side for the glory of Atlantis! They believed it was a divine sign, and in this city, they fought together with the beasts that had been exposed to the light for survival. The ruined city was later renamed the City of Divine Signs after its restoration.
After emitting light, the stones became ordinary ore. They collected the stones that had not been exposed to the unexposed people and concentrated them in one place, becoming the upper class of this continent, ruling over this desolate land! These people found that after being exposed, their original internal energy was forcibly changed. When they made weapons with those ordinary ores, their abilities were almost comparable to those of legendary gods! Because their abilities were diverse and powerful, even opponents who had not been exposed to the light of the magic god before could be easily overturned. They named this ability "divine power" and called themselves "god masters". After a large-scale competition determined the hierarchy, they established a country called the Divine Grace Empire. When they discovered that their abilities continued to grow stronger with time, without worrying about new people threatening their rule, they brought all people together and indulged in capturing exotic beasts to enjoy the glory of becoming gods! This newly born continent had few exotic beasts, and there was not a single beast at the level of Tongtian. Without comparison to Tongtian, they became arrogant and complacent, so this group of godly nations changed their name again, renaming the country that had just been established as the Divine Realm. When the population grew and multiplied, it would be their time to sweep across the world. They wanted to shine the glory of the gods upon the world!
These changed continents all have different regional properties, so the abilities produced are also different. The Great Tang Empire, which has suffered population losses but has not changed much in terms of its national strength, has undergone an unpredictable chemical reaction! The martial arts they cultivated have all mutated in the energy of the heaven and earth's transformation, and the more martial arts they cultivate internally, the more their power decreases! This has resulted in those demon-level masters needing to constantly purify or merge their internal energy into one stream, otherwise their internal energy will become extremely chaotic. Even exploding their bodies to death!
However, this creates a contradiction. The improvement of the boundary requires borrowing a large amount of martial arts experience, and it is also necessary to comprehend the properties of different energies in order to successfully break through to a higher boundary with the greatest possibility. This causes that once broken through, there is always the danger of exploding one's body, which makes people truly suffer. After extensive scientific and systematic research, the elite of the Tang Dynasty came up with a perfect solution, which is to cultivate their own war beasts! From the beginning of practicing martial arts, select several kinds of martial arts that suit oneself. Adopt the young beasts from those alien beasts, these adopted young beasts must be in line with one's own properties, every day use true energy to warm and nurture the young beast, let it get familiar with one's own energy. After breaking through, carefully inject all the energy into the body of the young beast until there is no trace of true energy left inside. When the empty body is filled with energy again, the energy at this time is the purest. Then, borrow from other martial arts, repeat the same operation, and the boundary will be unobstructed!
Those who were originally going to become masters, however, had endless bitterness. They could only give up all their cultivation and search for special techniques in the vast world of martial arts, and they also had to be refining techniques that conformed to their own attributes! Of course, you can also create such techniques based on your own experience, but this practice is risky, especially if you don't know what defects the technique has, there is a great danger of going crazy...
The masters of the Devil Realm are very lucky. Because they have a war evolution device that matches their own design! These devils only realized at this point how incredibly lucky they were!
Since the discovery of inlays that can make crystalline inlays, this profession has been dominated by ambitious people. This led to the current situation where the demon gods, who initially supported the Li family and did not jump ship, lost the opportunity to equip themselves with crystal evolution equipment and fell to the lowest level of the demon god realm, subject to ridicule! Li Yuanba's powerful blow caused a change in the heavens and the earth, and the energy rapidly became chaotic and changed the rules. Demon gods who had not accepted the war evolution inlay energy crystals suddenly discovered that their own partners could replace the role of war beasts. After verification, once the war evolution inlay energy crystal is embedded, it will completely change the internal energy ranking, thoroughly becoming an external auxiliary device! War evolution devices belong to a combination of life and machinery, after so much contact, they become a part of their body, also proving that they can fully transmit the chaotic true energy inside their body to their own partners, thus having a lifelong companion war beast. In this way, they have unlimited possibilities to impact the Tongtian realm under the new world rules, without worrying about self-destruction!
The exotic beast, completely captivated by the delicacies, is of course delighted to hand over its offspring to humans for nurturing. Thinking of the child, it goes to take a look and receives warm hospitality with delicious food - what's not to be happy about?
The mastermind behind the changing world, Li Yuanba, is now facing a backlash of rules that is no less severe than anyone else's! His body, which can be said to be artificially manufactured, does not conform to the laws of this world. The greatest advantage of humans is innovation, but in Li Yuanba's rules, there is no possibility of innovation at all! Take his skills, for example, they are just a repetition of the same few moves, with some fusion techniques that can be used to exhaustion. His attributes, which include infinite defense, infinite divine power, and immunity to all negative states, can be said to be a BUG in this world. From the moment he was reborn in this world, he has been excluded by the laws of the world. He is infertile, and his way of existence from the beginning is like accepting a game mission, losing all the physiological needs that humans should have!
After eating the Congealed Qi Pill that was nurtured by the heaven and earth's power, he finally had the ability to give birth. This was the opportunity for him to be accepted by this world! From the volcano, he changed the attribute of his true qi, wasn't this also a chance for him to be accepted again by this world, belonging to his own rule of power?
They say that massacring people will inevitably lead to heavenly punishment, but Li Yuanba has killed tens of millions of people, not to mention the innocent lives that were dragged into his calamity. No matter who it is, killing so many lives would make one go mad or be plagued by illness, at the very least they would be calculated and die in revenge for their sins. However, his tyrannical properties simply don't care about these things. The successive world-changing disasters were all manipulated by him, and the karma between heaven and earth was completely blocked by his properties, unfortunately, it was his relatives who suffered!
This time it's even better, the world geography has been changed all over again, and along with it, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is implicated, and they have no choice but to re-expand their understanding of this world.
Li Yuanba's rule has finally been brutally broken through by the world, forcing him to merge his brutal properties, otherwise who knows when this kid will make a move on him! If heaven and earth have consciousness, they must be thinking of the legendary strongman's favorite phrase: "Strike first and gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer the consequences, I'll take the risk!"
They say there is no strongest, only stronger. Li Yuanba now doesn't dare to speak recklessly, especially the behavior of scolding heaven and earth is even more unacceptable!
The reason is so simple that it can't be explained in words, even envy, jealousy and hatred seem pale and powerless!
Li Yuanba's properties are hard to change, even the heavens and earth making such a huge sacrifice cannot change it. However, everything is possible! Since it can't be changed, then merge the momentum of the heavens and earth into your properties, let the heavens and earth become your symbiotic battle beast. This way, the Earth becomes a BUG planet in the universe, it can ignore all external force attacks just like Li Yuanba. Such properties have already formed an indestructible star, and on this star there is also an indestructible undead body...
Li Yuanba's attributes are extremely powerful, so powerful that even with the interference of a planetary trend, they can only strengthen his unimaginable rules!
His current skills are all gone, which makes Li Yuanba terrified and scolds the sky: "I wipe your old sky, did I provoke you?! Take away all my skills, how do you want me to live? I wipe your ××'s, have the ability to split me to death, wipe! I just rely on these things to survive, isn't this taking my life?"
Just after scolding, the dark clouds gathered in the sky above his head, and the lightning struck down continuously! This was Li Yuanba's true and sincere scolding in shock and anger, his skills were all gone, and those attributes might have also left him, how could Li Yuanba not be terrified!
"Ah, it seems my attributes are still there, but where did that skill go?!" Li Yuanba was struck by lightning like a huge fireball, yet his body didn't suffer any damage, leaving him extremely puzzled!
He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he walked a few steps in confusion. Suddenly, the lightning struck his head with precision. Enraged, Li Yuanba shouted: "Damn it! Lightning strike your mother! Get out of here!"
Lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant, Li Yuanba, who was shrouded in mist, subconsciously said: "Chop again!"
A brilliant work, dazzling a large crowd of onlookers!
"Is this a case of speaking and following the law? Is Laozi fortunate or dreaming? Li Yuanba and the surrounding crowd of silly people all looked up at the cloudless sky, stunned."
Li Yuanba, who had quickly regained his composure, carefully pointed at the crowd around the earthen fortifications. In their frightened eyes, Li Yuanba's old face turned red again, and he re-pointed to a vacant area three zhang away: "Split... over there?!"
