What era is it, still traditional card making

"Let's look around. These monsters shouldn't have gone far."

After Ye Qiong said this, the four of them separated to look for the monster's location.

After about five minutes, Sabrina first sent back a message:

"Mr. Qiong, come and see, I found it."

Ye Qiong heard the voice transmission and quickly rushed towards where Sabrina was. Then he saw a group of monsters he had never seen before.

  These guys appeared before my eyes, with deer heads, lion bodies, wolf limbs, and cat tails.

Their appearance is very strange, as if they are a patchwork of various animals put together.

"Is this the result of losing the rules?"

"There are no signs of splicing on their bodies. They are naturally born monsters."

Just as Ye Qiong was thinking, Aquinas sent a message.

"I found some strange things here, come quickly."

Ye Qiong and Sabrina came to where Aquinas was and saw what she had discovered.

At their feet there was a group of strange-looking plants, with vines growing on the body of the tree and a flower on the top.

When Ye Qiong and the others got closer, the flower on the top actually opened its mouth and wanted to eat them.

Aquinas cast a spell to control these strange plants, then looked at Ye Qiong and said:

"Mr. Qiong, their condition is very similar to the monsters we just saw."

"Monster? Just now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiong told Aquinas what he had just seen.

"A deer head, a lion body, wolf paws, and a cat tail. It sounds so weird. Are they really living creatures, rather than just stitched together?"

"No, if it was a stitched monster, it would definitely leave some stitching marks."

Aquinas naturally believed in Ye Qiong's vision. After hearing this, he put his right hand to his chin and fell into thought.

"After losing the constraints of rules, the appearance of plants and monsters has developed in a weird direction."

Ye Qiong stretched out his right hand, felt the surrounding situation, and then said to them:

"Have you noticed that there's something missing in the air?"

Upon hearing this, Sabrina immediately followed Ye Qiong's example and stretched out her right hand. Then she quickly understood what Ye Qiong was talking about.

"The elements and magic, these things are gone."

"Something that is indispensable to the world is gone? Then how did these plants and the monsters you mentioned survive?"

  Aquinas looked shocked.

Everything in this world is subverting her cognition.

"Maybe it's because they have found a way of evolution that suits them."

After saying this, he sighed softly and continued:

"It seems that this world is not a blank sheet of paper, but is covered with colorful black."

Cornelia's voice came through, her tone full of joy.

"Brother, come here quickly, I found something incredible."

The three of them flew towards the location provided by Cornelia and soon saw what she was talking about.

A group of elemental elves of different colors floated before their eyes.

  These elemental spirits are obviously different from those they see in daily life.

The elements contained in their bodies are highly compressed, and the energy contained is at least a thousand times that of ordinary elemental elves.

"Water Elemental Spirit, Fire Elemental Spirit, etc. Why can magic also form elemental spirits?"

Sabrina was shocked. It was the first time she saw so many elemental elves.

Cornelia came over and said to Ye Qiong:

"Brother, how about we collect them and use them to reshape the world? As long as the five elements are complete and the magic power is stable, this world will soon be able to recover."

Ye Qiong decisively shook his head and rejected this proposal.

He pointed at a fire elemental spirit and said:

"Didn't you notice? These little guys have been watching us the whole time."

Cornelia looked in the direction Ye Qiong pointed. With her intelligence, she naturally understood what her brother meant.

"Have they developed intelligence?"

"No, if they had only given birth to spiritual intelligence, there would still be room for communication. What they gave birth to was a strong desire for destruction."

Normally, the five elements and magic ether are a very important part of the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most critical link in creation.

Generally speaking, elemental elves are quite gentle in nature and rarely get angry unless someone does something unforgivable to them.

However, the elemental spirits before them were completely different from the elemental spirits that Ye Qiong and his friends knew.

  Their aura was extremely violent, as if they would explode in the next second.

After noticing the arrival of Ye Qiong and others, some elemental elves were eager to try and planned to self-destruct and destroy everything.

After Ye Qiong's enlightenment, Cornelia and others quickly understood what was abnormal about these elemental elves.

These elemental elves are completely different from the elemental elves they have in mind.

The job of the elemental elves in the Blue Continent is to participate in creating the world, and the elemental elves here are a group of out-and-out terrorists.

Look, a fire elemental spirit is already flying towards them.

Without waiting for Ye Qiong to say anything, Sabrina took the initiative and imprisoned the fire elemental elf in place.

  The rest of the elemental spirits became restless at this moment.

After seeing this scene, Ye Qiong said:

"Let's retreat temporarily."

If so many elemental spirits exploded at the same time, even they would feel a lot of pressure.

Before understanding the specific situation, he would definitely take Cornelia and the others away first.

  After hearing Ye Qiong's proposal, the three girls nodded in agreement.

Sabrina controlled the attacking elemental spirit. After she finished casting the spell, Ye Qiong grabbed her hand and teleported to a nearby location.

After successfully joining forces with others,

Ye Qiong sorted out the information he had collected so far and then informed the three people.

"The mutated monsters, plants, and elemental spirits, this world is extremely troublesome. Also, gravity is a problem. I still haven't completely adapted to this hellish environment."

After finding an open space and sitting down, Aquinas couldn't help but complain.

  Cornelia pretended to think and said:

"After the rules of the world are taken away, will it become like this?"

"Generally speaking, it is rare for the rules of a world to be stripped away to this extent. I basically cannot sense the existence of any rule power in this world."

Cornelia looked over and asked:

"Brother, what should we do next?"

  "We have almost finished investigating the situation. All we need to do next is find the culprit. Maybe after we kill him, the world will return to its original state." Sabrina raised her head and said:

"But how can we do this? I just observed from the sky. This world is extremely vast. It will probably take a lot of time to investigate it completely."

Ye Qiong thought for a while and quickly made a decision.

In order to improve efficiency, he chose to act separately and come back here to gather before sunset.

If any accident occurs, immediately activate the teleportation spell he left behind, so that he will be teleported here as soon as possible.

The three women found this meaningless and left in different directions.

Ye Qiong went alone to a seemingly barren plain. He noticed some unusual cracks on the ground, which might be traces left over from the anomalous event.

He tried to follow the cracks and call upon the origin of the underground world.

  Of course, his call received no response.

The world is broken into this state, how could the origin survive?

Just when he wanted to continue exploring forward, he suddenly discovered a faint fluctuation of magic power deep in the crack.

"Is there life down there?"

  Ye Qiong decisively used magic to communicate with the possible life below.

After a while, a response came from the other side. It was a language he couldn't understand. It might be the native race of this world.

  Seeing the opponent's magic power gradually weakening,

Ye Qiong also decisively cast a spell to expand the crack, and then jumped down.

It was extremely narrow at first, but after moving down a distance, he was surprised to find that

  The bottom of the crack is actually hollow.

What appeared before his eyes was a huge underground maze, and occasionally the sound of dripping water could be heard.

  Ye Qiong continued to move forward along the traces left by the magic power.

It didn't take long for the source of the magical fluctuations to be found.

A small grass with green glow was blooming on the stone platform, and Ye Qiong felt an extremely strong breath of life from it.

"Is this the power left over from the origin of the world?"

As a branch gatherer, he is not unfamiliar with this thing. When the origin of many worlds is on the verge of destruction, they will choose to store the remaining power on something, which will help the branch gatherers while seeking the possibility of survival for themselves.

  Ye Qiong looked around.

We found traces of the remains of the offering.

It seems that the race that built this underground maze discovered the power of the light grass, so they built a stone platform to worship it.

  The traces are already very worn out.

According to Ye Qiong's experience, no one has come to take care of the area near the radiant grass for at least two or three years.

Obviously, the race that lived here has been wiped out, so no one came to offer sacrifices.

  If that's the case, the changes in the Demonic Continent might have occurred earlier than they thought.

The abnormality had already appeared at least two years ago.

Ye Qiong did not intend to pick the Light Grass. For now, this grass was not of much use to him.

  After picking it, you still have to take care of it yourself.

It is quite troublesome.

  Most importantly,

He hopes that the origin of this world belongs entirely to him.

  Such strange changes have taken place in this world. Who knows if this grass has undergone any mutations? What if it develops intelligence?

Therefore, the best way to deal with it right now is to pretend you didn’t see it and just leave.

Ye Qiong stood up and was about to teleport to the ground.

Suddenly, a very faint sound was heard.

"Save, save"

Maybe it's an illusion.

He wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it and just leave.

However, it seemed that the Light Grass was not going to let him go.

"I can satisfy all your needs."

No,

You are the power left over from the origin of the world, why do you speak like a devil who tempts others to fall?

He held his forehead with his hand helplessly. Now that things had come to this, he naturally could no longer pretend that he hadn't heard it.

  He returned to the stone platform where the radiant grass was and asked his question:

"What on earth is happening in this world?"

“Are you a twig gatherer?”

"Yes."

The light emitted by the radiant grass became stronger, as if confirming Ye Qiong's identity.

After a while, its voice rang out again.

"I don't have many memories left. I can only remember that it was a strange black shadow."

"Dark Shadow?"

"Well, He covered the sky and swallowed up all life on earth. Only some races that had lived underground for a long time escaped this disaster."

"What happened next? Where did the monster go?"

"I only know that He broke through the barrier of the world and then left. After the monster left, the world did not recover. The rules here are gradually getting out of control."

  And then, this is the situation he is seeing now?

The information revealed by the Radiant Grass is quite a lot.

The first thing is to let Wei Lai know who the enemy is.

He has a psychological shadow about the black shadow.

Anything related to this thing is definitely not a good thing.

More importantly, judging from the description of the radiant grass alone, this dark shadow that devours the world may be a formidable opponent.

Even for Ye Qiong, it would be difficult to destroy all life in the world in an instant.

The second is the whereabouts of the shadow monster.

As far as Ye Qiong knows, only a few races' ancestors can break through the barriers.

For example, the Mother of Dragons and the Demon King.

The black shadow moved like a moving natural disaster. After swallowing up a world, it would break through the world barrier and move on to the next world.

It is very likely that the disasters that are currently breaking out frequently in various worlds are caused by this black shadow.

"Um, Mr. Branch Picker, can you help me? As you can see, I don't have much magic power left. If this continues."

"Yes, of course no problem. I can help you, but I need to ask you some questions."

"Excuse me."

"The first question is whether you have the qualifications to grow into the origin of the world."

"Have."

"Secondly, you should know that the World Tree will not allow the origin of the world that gave birth to spiritual intelligence to exist."

"I, I know."

"Third, even so, do you still desire to become the origin of the world again?"

  Guangmangcao did not reply immediately. After a period of silence, a voice came out:

"I long to become the origin of the world." (End of this chapter)
