While Ye Chen was immersed in the virtual battle tower and creating martial arts techniques, the outside world was gradually changing.
With the passage of time, the calendar inherited from the Mayan civilization was overthrown. On a sunny September day, snowflakes were falling all over the world. The blue Earth began to turn cold. In the boundless ocean, all kinds of monsters that were thousands of feet long swam about.
In the original location of Nepal, a reef-like peak could be vaguely seen in the blue sea. This was the original Mount Everest. In Tibetan, "Everest" meant goddess.
Now, the highest peak on Earth, more than eight thousand meters above sea level, was submerged by the sea and only a small bump was left.
As the snowflakes drifted down, a portion of the sea in the north was frozen by the seawater, causing a large number of fish monsters to migrate to the south. God seemed to be fair for once. When the natural disasters forced humans to leave their homes, they were now exterminating these monsters.
It had been four months since the flood. It was now July of the first year of the Dark Calendar.
Ye Chen had been cultivating in the virtual world for more than a month. The outside world was completely taken care of by Xu Tianguo. During this time, he saw that many ordinary people had no food and were about to die. He opened the space of the ancient ruins twice and led the Purple Cloud Island Master and others to intercept them. He hunted a few whale dragons, enough to feed the base city for a few days.
However, every time he opened the space, a large amount of boiling water would rush in. With the space of the ancient ruins, once the seawater exceeded the capacity of the city, it would fall into the space below and flow up again, causing a long period of rain.
The seawater had a high salt content and was highly corrosive. After being soaked for a long time, some of the metal scraps in the city began to lose their waterproof properties. Once the metal in the base city rusted, the entire city would not be able to function normally. This would cause a lot of inconveniences. Even the doors could not be opened because this was a fully intelligent metal city.
In the virtual world, inside the battle tower.
Ye Chen stood in a simulated scene. This was a metal planet with a strong magnetic field. The strangest thing was that the gravity was sometimes heavy and sometimes light. One moment, it was ten times that of Earth, and the next moment, it was ten times that of Earth. The gravity was sometimes up and sometimes down.
Roar!
There was a red lizard beast crawling in front of him. Its body was covered in scales, and its eyes were like two balls of flames. Its tail was swinging, and its figure suddenly rushed towards Ye Chen. It opened its mouth and bit at his head.
"Fierce Horned Lizard!"
Ye Chen's eyes were cold. This Fiery-Horned Lizard was a monster that was born with strong combat power. It had existed since the time of the Atlantis civilization, and its hobby was to hide in the dark and sneak attack the enemy.
Facing this seemingly ordinary attack that actually sealed off all escape routes, Ye Chen did not panic. Instead, he raised his palm, his five fingers forming a claw, and clasped onto the Fiery-Horned Lizard's jaw. Then, he leaned back, getting into a one-handed kick.
Unexpectedly, this Fierce Horned Lizard was extremely cunning. Its body suddenly stopped, and after falling down, it swung its body and coiled its tail around Ye Chen's foot before pouncing on him.
Ye Chen's expression was calm as he leaped up and floated backwards. Suddenly, the gravitational force around him increased in intensity. Ye Chen's body, which had just leaped up, suddenly fell back down, crashing heavily onto the ground. Before he could get up to dodge, the gravitational force pushed him up again, throwing him into the air without any support.
Whoosh!
The Fierce Horned Lizard took the opportunity to pounce on him.
Ye Chen's eyes were cold. While he was in the air, he stretched out his hands and suddenly turned his arms, causing his waist to twist. His legs were like a big whirlwind, sweeping out and kicking the Fierce Horned Lizard's jaw.
The gravitational force suddenly increased, and Ye Chen and the Fierce Horned Lizard fell heavily.
Ye Chen's feet were numb from the shock, but the Fierce Horned Lizard was even worse. After being hit by the horn, it fell even more fiercely, and several of its bones were broken.
Ye Chen leaped over. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of sharpness passed through them. He had set the Fierce Horned Lizard's physique to be three times higher than his own. Coupled with the other's body structure, its defense was extremely strong, so it was equivalent to five times higher than Ye Chen's defense.
"Explode!"
Ye Chen raised his foot and leaned forward. Like kicking a ball, all the muscles in his body tightened, and he kicked out fiercely.
Bang!
The Fierce Horned Lizard's body suddenly exploded and caved inwards. It was unknown whether it was dead or alive.
Ye Chen exhaled lightly. He felt that the foot he kicked out had lost all feeling and was completely numb. He could not help but frown slightly. "I haven't fully comprehended the profound meaning of the star's self-destruction. I can barely exert five times my combat power, and the reaction is too fast."
He was not in a good mood.
Because of his rebirth, many things had happened in advance. Therefore, after the Ice Age, the ancient world's gate was about to open.
In that world, there were some special places where the superhuman mode could not be used. In other words, the advantages of his superhuman mode on Earth would be gone when he entered the ancient world.
Moreover …
In the ancient world, many civilizations had gathered. The headquarters of Atlantis was also there. Naturally, the gene division technology had spread out. Therefore, with the heritage of that world, there was no lack of superhuman powerhouses. There were even Superhuman Level Three and Superhuman Level Four experts!
In order to enter the ancient world, Ye Chen had to make preparations in advance. This was also the reason why he was in a hurry to comprehend the profound meaning of the star.
"Ding ding!"
Suddenly, a system message beeped.
Ye Chen looked down and muttered a command. A virtual window opened in front of him. There was a video in it. He saw Xu Tianguo anxiously saying, "This is bad. Someone is challenging the authority of the base city in the virtual world. They set up an arena and threatened to defeat all the powerhouses in the base city.
Tianci has already gone over, but he was defeated. The opponent is too strong. "
Ye Chen frowned and said calmly, "Where are the coordinates?"
Xu Tianguo quickly entered a string of numbers.
Ye Chen took a look and closed the message window. He exited the Battle Tower and started to automatically find his way in the direction of the coordinates. He felt that his body was wrapped in a mysterious power and he was automatically running in that direction.
If someone else had challenged him, Ye Chen would have ignored them. However, since the opponent had defeated Huang Tianci in the virtual world, they could not be ignored. It should be noted that Huang Tianci was mainly in charge of the military operations of the base city. He was strong enough to bear the burden. He had mastered many secret martial arts manuals in the ancient martial arts civilization and the cultivation methods in the Heaven-Fighting civilization. If he could still be defeated under such circumstances, it could only mean that the opponent was too strong. Xu Tianguo and the others could not deal with him.
Moreover …
At this stage, the only ones who had the ability to do so were probably the newly risen "Emperor Corps."
When Ye Chen arrived at the west side of the city, he saw a square in the distance. There were countless people standing in the square.
In the middle of the sea of people was an extremely spacious large arena with a diameter of 300 meters. There were several figures standing on it.
Ye Chen's figure flashed as he charged over.
"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect the Emperor Corps to be so strong. Even Huang Tianci of the Guang Ming Base City was defeated."
"Humph. Our boss Huang is just not in a good state. Otherwise, he would have killed that little girl."
"By the way, why didn't the founding members of your guild come out? And the God of Massacre. I think your president can defeat that guy."
"Of course. Don't you know who our president is?
He's the God of Massacre. He kills gods and buddhas. Who can stop him? "
"Ha, ha …"
Several people stood together and chatted. It was impossible to tell from their voices that one was China Base City and the other was Guang Ming Base City. Since the virtual servers of the two base cities were working together, they could communicate through the virtual world.
Ye Chen walked over and soon found a problem …
The sea of people was so dense that not even a drop of water could pass through. If he was in the outside world, he could simply push through the crowd with his strong constitution. However, his constitution was the same here. If he forced his way through, he would be crushed into a pancake.
Expose his identity?
Whether the others would believe him was a problem …
The people around him chatted among themselves, mentioning Ye Chen from time to time. Little did they know that this person was right behind them.
Just as Ye Chen felt a headache coming on, a soft voice suddenly called out from beside him, "You're here?"
The voice was very pleasant to the ears. It was so soft and tender that it made one's hair stand on end. Including Ye Chen, everyone who heard the voice could not help but turn to look.
A gentle breeze blew past, bringing with it some gentleness.
At the back of the crowd, surrounded by several handsome men and beautiful women, a girl in white walked over. Her eyebrows were as sharp as knives, her teeth were white, and her eyes were bright. There was a faint smile on her face … It was a smile that rarely appeared on her face after her father's death.
The eyes of the people around her were fixed on her. Some people with ulterior motives quickly hid the admiration in their eyes and lowered their eyes. They did not dare to look at her because they had already recognized that this woman in white was the authority of China Base City: Murong Xue!
Because Murong Xue was often active in the virtual world, her appearance in the virtual world had long been widely known, so many people recognized her.
"Mu, Commander Mu!"
The discussion around them quieted down. Looking at this big shot who was usually like a god, they did not expect to be able to see her at such a close distance. Their hearts were pounding.
The people in the distance did not know what was going on, but when they found that there was suddenly no sound behind them, they looked back in surprise. Soon, they also found that something was wrong. As a result, the entire noisy square fell silent in an instant.
Murong Xue was like a goddess from the snowy mountains. She seemed to be otherworldly. Leading Hua Buluo, Qin Lan, and the others, she walked to Ye Chen and smiled. The whole world seemed to be lit up. "It seems that I came at the right time."
Her gentle words were like little stones, hitting Ye Chen's heart.
Ye Chen subconsciously touched his nose and said, "It seems so."
The people around them were silent.
Following Murong Xue's words, everyone slowly moved their eyes to the man in black in front of her. They could not help but be shocked. This man in black looked ordinary, but he was able to make the Commander-in-Chief of China Base City talk to him in person?
The fierce battle on the martial arts platform seemed to have stopped. Then, a figure quickly rushed over. It was Xu Tianguo!
Just when everyone thought that Xu Tianguo would greet Murong Xue as soon as he came over, they suddenly found that after Xu Tianguo walked over, it was as if he did not see Murong Xue. He directly bowed slightly to the man in black, then whispered a few words in his ear. Then, he turned to look at Murong Xue, reached out his hand, and greeted her with a smile.
