Before Mingxi's voice had even faded, the first baptism of divine pressure had already truly arrived.

Impermanence and non-self.

Like an abyss, like a prison.

It was as if only one voice remained in the entire world.

"Buzz—"

A deafening roar.

suppress.

washing.

A steady yet profound hurricane swept across this already bumpy and dilapidated continent.

Every wisp of 'wind' is like a physical substance, a sharp edge that penetrates every inch of the world.

Noisy, irritable, indifferent, and filled with murderous intent...

It infiltrates into the bodies of Mingxi, the dying Beastmaster, and Lan Yueliang, among other pets, and is responsible for invasion!

"puff!"

"Aww!"

"Liwu!"

"..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Despite the fact that there were very few survivors at the scene, it still created a sensational and shocking effect.

The 360-degree surround sound kept ringing in my ears.

The pressure from a god-level being, especially three god-level pets at once, was indeed a bit beyond the capabilities of these survivors who were barely clinging to life.

Even for Venerable-level pets and SSS-level beast tamers, it's somewhat difficult to handle.

Moreover, these pets and beast tamers are all seriously injured at this moment. Even though they have no shortage of angel and fairy-type pets, top-level beast tamers will not lack high-level healing potions.

These people were all shrewd and resourceful. When they realized that the divine pressure was about to sweep across this tiny, precarious continent, they all fled their inventory!

Whether it's an opportunity or a crisis, you can only overcome it if you're alive.

However, not all angels are like Little Silver Flower, and not all top-tier beast tamers can drink SSS-level potions like water.

Therefore, their condition is completely incomparable to that of Mingxi, Lanyueliang, and «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the others.

But in reality, Mingxi and Lanyue, along with the other six members, are also having a tough time.

The first release of pressure after the completion of the evolution of extraordinary beings is less a declaration from the extraordinary world to the world, but rather their way of telling the world, "I have arrived."

It's more like a grand banquet convened by the laws of the universe for all things in heaven and earth.

This grand feast features not only roses that bloom more vibrantly than youth, but also ice and fire that are sharper than a blade.

And the god-level event, naturally, is the grandest one!

Enjoy it, conquer it.

"Buzz—"

Mingxi, Lanyue, and the others all did the same, letting the immense power wash over them.

Whether it's erosion, coverage, or submersion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Apart from Yao Xuan, who was already a god-level extraordinary being, all five of Lan Yue Liang were using this pressure to break through the god-level barrier.

It's frustrating that I couldn't evolve before Jin Yuanbao and the others, and I lost out for no reason.

We must take advantage of this favorable wind and soar to new heights!

If they can also evolve, then they can be considered equals, and neither has lost!

They were all honey badger.

Born with a fighting spirit and a strong will!

Their beast tamers, too, belong to the same category.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

Mingxi was also using this immense pressure to break through the 'wall' in front of her.

Her brain development level was measured using the most precise and advanced instruments.

It can jump out nine nines in a row!

Infinitely close to 100%.

But even if it gets infinitely close, it is never truly the same.

The wall stood firmly in front of her, preventing her from seeing even a glimpse of the scenery on the other side.

No matter how anxious she was, scratching her head and jumping up and down.

It's there, it's there, without any sign of shifting or collapsing!

The closer you get to it, the more you can feel its presence and its sturdiness.

And then there's its abyss-like, terrifying sense of oppression.

This will make her deeply understand how difficult it will be to tear it down.

This also made her realize clearly that, just like herself, and as Guang Guang guessed, the only possibility to break through this wall was for all nine of them to evolve into gods.

But she will not shirk her responsibilities because of this.

We still have to make that impact!

Even adding just one more 9 to the electronic display screen of a brain region testing device is a giant leap forward!

So Mingxi also worked very hard.

Try your best to participate in this grand event!

Be fully prepared for any opportunity to break through barriers that may arise at any time.

Mingxi, Lanyue, and the other three worked very hard, but this opportunity was just an opportunity, not Wuyazi's transfer of power.

It's not that effective immediately.

However, they have all stepped into the realm of demigods, including Black Pearl, who is only one step away from godhood!

So, as the saying goes, anyone with a dream is extraordinary!

Disappointment was inevitable, but fortunately everyone had a good mental fortitude.

At most, I'll just eat more lemons.

It's okay, it's okay, they've gotten used to it.

...

When the three golden ingots restrained the oppressive aura they had unleashed.

The strange phenomena in the heavens and earth caused by their evolution gradually subsided.

On the ruins of this shattered continent, various different auras still intertwine, flowing quietly like waves.

Although Lan Yue Liang and the others failed to see the dawn they wanted, Ming Xi and the others were in a state of unprecedented vitality.

It was as if the fierce battle that had lasted for hours was merely a sacrifice for this perfect moment.

Just then.

Yaoxuan's body suddenly transformed into its true form, with nine heads and nine pairs of eyes fixedly staring at her.

The baptism of the three gods' might of Jin Yuanbao was an opportunity for Lan Yue Liang and the others to break through the barrier. For Lan Yue Liang, who was already at the god level, it was also a top-notch delicacy that she could enjoy.

This wave has significantly boosted its power of destiny.

What we couldn't'see' before, is still blurry now, but at least we can feel it.

"Little Xixi, there's a pile of poop near your feet, don't move." Its voice was unusually serious.

Mingxi: ʕ.•᷅ࡇ•᷄.ʔ? ? ?

She looked down, but there was no feces.

There was only a thick layer of gravel and black soil, and ashes from something that had been burned.

It churned slowly in the lingering wind.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual.

But Yaoxuan had no need to tease her; he was a poet, not a jester.

"bite."

A very faint metallic tremor, almost drowned out by the sound of the wind.

She remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuations, simply gazing serenely at Yaoxuan's massive body.

At this moment, its middle head turned towards the direction of the gold ingot, and its snake eyes blinked rapidly.

Although there were no words, miraculously, at this moment, Jin Yuanbao's brainwaves actually matched its own, and it opened its divine eyes without hesitation.

See the truth!

"thunder!"

Mingxi frowned. Jin Yuanbao was just using an interjection; it had no real meaning.

So there might really be a pile of poop at her feet, a pile of poop that could explode at any moment and make her smell bad.

Yaoxuan naturally understood Jin Yuanbao's interjection and secretly made an "OK" sign with the tip of his snake.

They all looked at Mingxi at the same time, and then struck with lightning speed.

The fiery prison of the underworld.

Sanctions against light-emitting particles.

It wasn't facing Mingxi's feet.

"Sizzle—!!"

The sound, like strips of cloth being torn, rang out right behind her.

The moment the sound rang out, Mingxi immediately stepped into the spatial portal that the little silver flower had opened in front of her.

The next second, it appeared among the little silver flowers.

Only then did she have a chance to see 'that lump of poop' clearly.

A dark gold metal fragment, no bigger than a fingernail.

The surface of the fragment was covered with cracks, with no energy fluctuations or regular patterns remaining. It looked like an ordinary piece of scrap iron that was about to rust away.

But Mingxi did not look away.

Because inside the fragment, there are extremely tiny, slowly pulsating points of light.

The light was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, yet it exuded an aura that had never faded.

It was exactly the same as the mechanical core that mysteriously disappeared before the self-destruction.

So this fragment is the mechanical core?

How did it go from such a high-class appearance to this grotesque look?

Was it because of its forced 'invisibility,' or because the self-destruction of the mechanical flesh also affected it?

Both are possible.

She had previously deduced that the mechanical life form's ability to use its power consumed a great deal of energy, and because it came from an alien civilization, the energy it consumed in this world could not be recovered through normal means.

That's why it wants to destroy them.

This spectacular self-destruction also came at a great cost.

Most of what happened before stemmed from its self-preservation!

Of course, there is another possibility... that its miserable appearance is just a disguise.

After all, she didn't have Alzheimer's and clearly remembered that the mechanical core was composed of ninety-nine pillars that could transform into any shape.

So what's wrong with disguising it as broken pieces?

"Yaoxuan, was it just about to... parasitize me?"

Mingxi's words were not actually a question.

This can be considered a confirmation.

While it's uncertain whether mechanical lifeforms possess the ability to 'parasitize,' the general idea is correct.

"That's right. Because of Little Gold, Little Silver, and Little Jade, my ability to perceive fate has improved. Just now, my heart suddenly started racing, and I saw a blurry, hazy shadow behind you."

Then they asked Jin Yuanbao to take a look, and that's how they found out about this thing.

It's uncertain whether it's parasitic, but it's almost certainly not a good thing.

I see.

Yaoxuan's strength has also increased, that's great.

At this moment, the fragment was trapped in the Golden Ingot's Netherworld Prison, and it seemed that it couldn't cause any trouble for the time being.

The points of light in the fragments seemed to sense her gaze, and their pulsation frequency increased slightly.

A faint stream of consciousness, almost a delirium, intermittently entered her mind:

【A perfect match has been detected...】

【Hello, esteemed and powerful humankind...】

【Backup unit...requesting...binding...】

The flame of civilization... must not be extinguished...

Please help me...

I...promise...I won't hurt you...

It sounded like it was crying for help.

This mechanical life form once forcibly transformed the pale-faced scholar, fused with six extraordinary creatures, and nearly destroyed the continent.

At this moment, it is merely a dying, lonely seed yearning to connect with human civilization.

That sounds wonderful.

Mingxi rested her chin on her hand, remained silent for three seconds, and then walked towards the mechanical core fragment.

The points of light in the fragments were jumping faster and faster.

It was a mixture of longing and excitement.

It seems that she is looking forward to a mutual journey with Mingxi.

But just three steps from the Blazing Prison, Mingxi stopped and looked directly at the fragment.

Mingxi looked at the fragment of the nuclear body.

Then--

She raised her right hand, and the Thousand Mountains Path expanded in her palm.

The axe blade gleamed with a cold, icy light.

"Do you think I'm so easily fooled by my 99% brain development level?"

This thing is willing to risk its life to kill everyone, even at the cost of its own life. Its personality is extreme and domineering, so how could anyone possibly bow down to it?

The so-called 'binding' is probably a strategic retreat.

There are quite a few traps.

Because of Mingxi's sudden change in attitude, the light spots in the fragments suddenly froze, as if surprised, as if in disbelief.

【...You...cannot...】

Whether I can or not is up to me!

Just as the axe blade was about to fall—

A sudden change occurred.

It wasn't from behind Mingxi.

It didn't come from underground either.

Instead, it came from... the sky!

It's like it has its own background music, like the entrance show of the Masked Squad, descending from the sky in a magnificent display!

Before they landed, several jet-black beams of light shot out, all aimed at Mingxi!

"Jin!"

defense!

For Jin Yuanbao and the others, the instructions from Florence are of the same level as those from Mingxi.

At the same time, all skills were unleashed.

The Mingxi was protected from all sides, from front to back, left to right, top to bottom, and completely.

"boom--!!"

A loud sonic boom rang out, lifting Mingxi's hair.

By the time the protective barrier was formed, the figures that had descended from the sky had already landed safely, looking quite dashing.

There were five people in total, without any pets or animals around them. They were all wearing black hoods that resembled gas masks.

All I could see were pairs of cold eyes.

Mingxi's gaze shifted to the man in the very center. If we were to compare this man to the masked squad's ranks, he would probably be the King Mask.

Of course, he definitely isn't.

While Jin Yuanbao and the others were releasing their protective skills, Mingxi's Thousand Mountain Path had already precisely completed its turn and slash.

The moment the five men landed, the black blade crackling with lightning struck the man's hood precisely.

That should be a defensive item.

The level is not low.

However, when encountering Mingxi and Qianshanjing, unless they are both divine artifacts, they will still head towards their doom.

The hood protected the person, but a clear crack was left on it!

"Snap—"

The headgear cracked.

Mingxi's gaze was fixed on that face.

That face—

Refined and handsome, gentle yet strong.

At this moment, however, his brows and eyes were cold and stern, and the corners of his mouth were slightly downturned, showing the arrogance and stubbornness of a young man.

Familiar, yet strange.

"Long time no see, Mingxi."

Mingxi raised an eyebrow: "Xinglan Beiyi".

Mingxi's voice was calm.

She was so calm that even she was surprised.

Ming Xinglan Beiyi had long been controlled by the Longhua Kingdom, yet she appeared in this form on a broken continent several light-years away.

Is this reasonable?

She paused, and a glimmer of light fell from the depths of her pupils, as if she were analyzing the soul within the body before her.

"...No, that's not right, you're not him."

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint appeared in Xinglan Beiyi's deep, dark pupils, completely erasing any trace of his clear and innocent youthful aura.

"I am not Xinglan Beiyi? Then who does Your Excellency Mingshen think I am?"

He smiled.

That was definitely not Xinglan Beiyi's smile.

Because of his physical condition and experiences, Xinglan Beiyi's smiles are often restrained, controlled, and even somewhat awkward and unsociable.
