Once an epidemic breaks out, cultivators can still escape, but natives have nowhere to run and can only wait to die.

Medical conditions in the Canglan Fantasy Realm are extremely backward, and there are no doctors at all.

There's no way around it; outsiders don't need doctors at all.

As for those wild creatures, they are formed from the energy of heaven and earth and do not require medical treatment.

Only native humans need medical care, but due to the influence of the rules of the Canglan Fantasy Realm, many medical knowledge from the outside world is not applicable here.

For example, many diseases in the outside world are caused by bacteria, but there are no bacteria in the Canglan Fantasy World.

The people in this world are not made up of cells. Although it sounds unbelievable, it is indeed true.

It would be far too easy for the powerful beings who created the Canglan Fantasy World to arbitrarily alter the rules. In this world, everything is decided by them.

"I never imagined that this place would be blessed by both the sun and the plague at the same time." Ying Zheng looked up and couldn't help but glance at the old patriarch a few more times.

It seems that this village has an extraordinary background.

“In my grandfather’s generation, not long after we migrated here, a terrible epidemic broke out, killing many people. My grandfather went through a lot of trouble to manage to get protection from the epidemic.”

"This is the protective barrier that's being used in the village now."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded gently.

After a moment's thought, he decided not to change their blessing for the time being.

"Everyone, drip your blood onto this stone tablet. That way, the next time you come in, no matter where you were when you left, you can directly choose to return to the village," Ying Zheng said to the Venerable Ones.

“Very well.” All the venerable ones nodded in agreement.

"So, if we encounter danger and get trapped in the wild, we can simply escape back and come back up to return directly to the village?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo asked Ying Zheng.

“That’s right.” Ying Zheng nodded with a smile. “Moreover, this can save time on the journey.”

The venerable ones followed the example of Qin Shi Huang, dripping their blood onto the stone tablet to complete the binding with the stronghold.

At this moment, Ying Zheng thought for a moment and decided to rename the original Dashi Town to Hongmeng Town!

"Elder Chief, I have changed the name of this place. I hope you will not take offense," Ying Zheng said to the elder chief.

"It's alright," the old clan chief said.

"Originally, before we had a stronghold, I planned to lead everyone to break through to the second level of the Universe level, and at the same time go to a nearby large stronghold to seek refuge, so as to accumulate wealth to buy more Illusionary Realm Spirit Orbs," Ying Zheng said to the Venerables.

"Now that we have our own base, we don't need to go to other bases anymore. The most important thing now is to build a trading post."

"Trading points?" Emperor Wuxuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

“It’s a special type of building for the stronghold,” Ying Zheng explained. “Once it’s built, we can trade with other people in the Canglan Illusionary Realm.”

"Just like in the Divine Network?!" The Venerable Ones immediately understood.

“That’s right.” Ying Zheng nodded with a smile.

Then, Ying Zheng looked at the old clan chief and said, "Please issue the task, old clan chief."

"Yes, that's fine." The old clan chief nodded.

"I can now post a maximum of four tasks a day."

"The first task is for everyone to collect wood and stone to build a trading post."

"The second task is that the village's food reserves are insufficient, so please collect as much as possible."

"The third task is that the village's freshwater storage is insufficient. Please collect freshwater resources."

"The fourth task is that the village needs cloth. Please make a loom."

As soon as the old patriarch finished speaking, voices echoed in the minds of everyone, including Ying Zheng.

"Alright, we have received all the tasks. Please rest assured, Elder Chief, we will complete them. As for the people in the village, please arrange for them to help us manufacture some equipment," Ying Zheng said to the Elder Chief.

“No problem.” The old clan chief nodded.

In this world, primitive humans also play an important role in assisting production, such as manufacturing equipment.

Just like the clothes worn by Ying Zheng and the others, they all have a certain degree of defensive power. The one Ying Zheng is wearing has a little physical defense and a little magical defense.

If the equipment is made by themselves, its attributes will be very low.

But those created by native humans are different; they will have significantly higher attribute bonuses.

"No problem." The old clan chief nodded again.

Immediately, the old clan chief ordered people to bring all the tools from the village over.

Stone axes, stone knives, stone spears, rattan armor, wooden shields, and other items were piled up on the ground.

Looking at these things, the Great Vajra Saint and the others were speechless. This was far too backward.

But when they picked these things up and took a closer look, they were all speechless with astonishment. The attributes of these items far surpassed the treasures they possessed.

Ying Zheng reached out and picked up a wooden shield from the ground. Upon closer inspection, he found it had a physical defense of 10 and a magical defense of 3.

He punched the wooden shield hard, and with a loud "clang," the shield didn't break.

He used considerable force in that punch, and the wooden shield actually withstood it.

Then, Ying Zheng reached out and tugged at his robe. With a "rip," his precious robe was torn open, as fragile as a piece of paper.

Upon seeing this scene, all the venerable ones secretly clicked their tongues in amazement.

Under the protection of the rules of the Canglan Illusionary Realm, some things are truly incomprehensible. The treasures they brought in are actually inferior to these crudely made items.

After receiving the tools, Ying Zheng made a simple assignment of tasks.

“Daweide, Wuxuan, come with me to cut down trees. Huorong, the three of you go find some stones. Hongluo, you go collect some water; you can ask the old clan chief for the water source.”

“Very well.” All the venerable ones nodded in agreement.

After the tasks were assigned, the venerable ones dispersed to carry out their respective tasks.

Ying Zheng and his men took stone axes and headed to the woods outside the village.

"After completing these tasks, will we really be able to obtain the energy between heaven and earth?" Emperor Wuxuan couldn't help but ask.

"Of course," Ying Zheng nodded.

"These tasks feel like we're working for the natives..." Emperor Wuxuan said with a wry smile.

He originally wanted to say "be a slave," but thought it sounded too offensive, so he changed it to "work."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but chuckle. "You know what, it really is working for the natives. But there's nothing we can do about it; it's a rule set by the powerful beings who created the Canglan Illusionary Realm."

“Actually, it’s not a big deal to work for them, as long as we can get energy,” said the Great Lord Yamantaka.

“I know,” Emperor Wuxuan nodded.

"I'm just feeling a bit sentimental." Emperor Wuxuan sighed. "I, Emperor Wuxuan, was once a supreme being in the Hongmeng World, worshipped by countless beings. Now I'm actually chopping wood and doing hard labor here."

"Doesn't this feel like a novel experience?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

“Absolutely not.” Emperor Wuxuan shook his head.

"I'm just feeling a bit sentimental. The powerful being who created this Canglan Illusionary Realm is truly an extraordinary person."

"This person must be quite the old rascal. He's probably just joking around with everyone," said the Great Mighty Venerable. "This Azure Illusionary Realm is quite interesting."

Upon reaching the woods outside the village, Ying Zheng and his men each selected a sturdy tree from the outermost edge and began to cut it down.

The stone axes in Ying Zheng's hands were unremarkable in appearance, but they were quite easy to use.

Ying Zheng used his stone axe to quickly chop down a large tree. Meanwhile, the Great Mighty Saint and the other two had only just made a few scratches.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng went over and helped them cut down the other two trees. Afterward, they cleared away the branches from the large trees, leaving only the thick trunks.

"Let's move these three trees back to the village first," Ying Zheng suggested.

He picked the thickest tree and easily hoisted it onto his shoulder.

When the two of them saw this, they followed Ying Zheng's example, but their expressions quickly changed.

They simply couldn't lift it; the tree's weight far exceeded their expectations.

The two exchanged a glance and had no choice but to lift a tree together. Even so, they were panting heavily, clearly no match for Ying Zheng's strength.

Seeing the two of them carrying a tree, Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then casually hoisted another tree from the ground onto his shoulder as well.

He set off carrying a tree on each shoulder. The weight of the two large trees on his shoulders was quite strenuous even for Ying Zheng.

But he can still hold on.

After the three carried the wood back to the village, Huo Rong and the others also carried back some stones.

These stones were all moved from the foot of the mountain, and they looked exhausted.

"Are these stones enough?" Huo Rong Supreme asked Ying Zheng, panting.

"That's about it." Ying Zheng nodded.

"I'll set up the trading point first."

He told the Fire-Earth Supreme and the Great Vajra Deity to continue working, while he used a stone axe to split trees and a stone club to smash rocks.

Then, he put the split wood and stones together, first nailed the wood into stakes, and then arranged the stones around the stakes to make a shape similar to an altar.

This altar is the trading point.

After the trading point was set up, Ying Zheng stood on it and silently recited the incantation.

Sure enough, the next moment, his consciousness seemed to connect with something.

Immediately afterwards, numerous shop interfaces appeared in Ying Zheng's mind. These interfaces were filled with various goods, which could be browsed and purchased at will, and could also be sold and recycled.

Ying Zheng casually picked up a stone and tried to recycle it, but there was no reaction.

He picked up a stone axe and chose to recycle it.

Soon, the stone axe disappeared from his hand, and Ying Zheng gained two Canglan points.

"Really cheap," Ying Zheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But actually, two Azure Points aren't a small amount. After all, a single Illusionary Spirit Orb only costs forty points at the dimensional merchant.

Ying Zheng's heart stirred, and he searched for Illusionary Realm Spirit Orbs. Soon, many Illusionary Realm Spirit Orbs appeared on the interface, each with a different price. The cheapest one cost exactly forty points.

It seems the interdimensional merchant who sold him the Illusionary Spirit Orb was quite honest.

After glancing around casually, Ying Zheng closed the shop interface and returned to his senses.

But just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Ding! External parsing complete! This system now has the ability to hack into external servers! Host, would you like to choose to hack in?!"

Ying Zheng was startled.

"Hacking? What are you trying to do?!"

"Ding! This is a world with simple rules. Since the host entered, this system has been analyzing its basic rules, and the analysis is now complete! This system can hack into this world."

"After hacking, the host can use this system to modify some of the rules of this world to bring convenience to himself."

"But there are certain risks involved in hacking," the system replied.

"What risks?" Ying Zheng asked instinctively.

"It might be noticed by the master of this world," the system replied.

"Hiss!" Ying Zheng gasped.

This is no joke!

Ying Zheng had a premonition that if he were discovered, he might die a terrible death, and even the system might be taken away.

"Please don't panic, host! This system far surpasses this world! There's only a very small chance of being detected during hacking. As long as you don't use this system for large-scale cheating, the possibility of being discovered is almost zero!" the system said.

"Is it really that amazing?!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.

It's important to know that the Canglan Fantasy Realm was created by the Canglan Universe Civilization, the most powerful civilization in the entire Canglan Universe.

"Please do not question this system, host!" the system replied.

At this moment, Ying Zheng hesitated.

Clearly, this system is even more advanced than the Canglan Universe Civilization!

After hesitating for a moment, Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Choose hacking!"

"Understood!" the system responded immediately.

Then, Ying Zheng sensed something changing around him. Something was emanating from him, merging into the world around him.

A faint sense of unease rose in his heart.

But this feeling quickly disappeared, and the system announced, "Ding! Hacking successful!"

A virtual interface popped up, displaying various auxiliary functions—creation, erasure, transfer, attribute modification, etc.

A whole host of cheat-like features.

"Ding! After using the creation function, the host can create items in this world at will."

"Using the erasure function, the host can erase anything at will, even the terrain."

"Using the transfer function, the host can transfer itself or other things."

……

With the systematic explanation, Ying Zheng quickly became familiar with these functions.

This is practically like using cheat codes in a video game!
"System, I have another question. Will I be detected if I use these functions?" Ying Zheng asked the system.

"There is a certain chance of being discovered," the system replied.

"The greater the changes that the host's abilities bring to this world, the higher the chance of being discovered."

"For example, if the host removes a stone, it is virtually impossible to be detected; but if it removes a mountain, it will most likely be detected."

"I understand." Ying Zheng nodded.

The system's message is clear: the more aggressively you use cheats, the greater the chance of being discovered.

After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng finally said, "System, let's log out."

Hacking into the Canglan Fantasy World using the system is too dangerous.

Although the system kept emphasizing that the possibility of being discovered was slim, Ying Zheng knew in his heart that it was better to be safe than sorry.

However, this can also be considered his secret weapon.

This trump card will come in handy if a major crisis that is difficult to deal with is encountered.

Gods and Buddhas, all will be swept away.

"Ying Zheng! Ying Zheng!" A shout suddenly came from outside the village.

Ying Zheng hurried over to greet him, "What happened?"

"Come with me quickly," the Ice Cold Supreme said to Ying Zheng with a tense expression. (End of Chapter)
