Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

If Ying Zheng had not been so resolute, he too would probably have been captivated by the fragrance of the flowers.

However, the barrier set up in the valley is extremely powerful, which is why the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Guiding Flower can transform seven times.

Presumably, the creatures that were previously attracted were unable to break the barrier, which allowed it to undergo seven transformations, eventually attracting a seventh-level cosmic-level creature.

Just then, a silverback gorilla as large as a mountain pushed mountains and broke trees, arriving opposite the Golden Spirit Python.

It also stared greedily at the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Attracting Flower, and as the flower buds bloomed, the exotic fragrance became even stronger.

At this moment, all the creatures gathered here began to stir, and they started attacking the valley's barrier, including the Golden Spirit Python and the Silverback Ape.

"Boom!"

Hidden in the shadows of the trees, Ying Zheng watched as the valley barrier flickered under the attack of the beast tide, secretly plotting a scheme to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and divert the disaster eastward.

As long as he runs towards Emerald City with the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Attracting Flower in his hand, the beast tide attracted by the fragrance of the flower will be more terrifying than ever before.

At that time, Emerald City will surely suffer heavy casualties.

Ying Zheng could also take advantage of the chaos to kill off the high-ranking officials of Emerald City, while simultaneously amassing massive resources and making a fortune from the war. It was truly a win-win opportunity.

However, the barrier was clearly set up by an extremely precious divine artifact, and the appearance of the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Guiding Flower was too coincidental; it must have been deliberately arranged. But in any case, as long as it could be used for my own purposes, that was enough!

"boom!"

The moment the barrier shattered, countless creatures rushed into the valley under the threat of the golden python and the silverback gorilla.

Ying Zheng, who had been hiding in the shadows, darted out and snatched the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Guiding Flower into his hand.

He then quickly put the flowers into his backpack, but a faint fragrance still lingered in the air.

Ying Zheng hid in the shadows and quickly escaped the encirclement of the beast tide.

After traveling two or three kilometers, Ying Zheng took out the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Guiding Flower again. The rich fragrance of the flower caused the already raging beast tide to quickly gather in his direction.

Ying Zheng began to run desperately, and as he moved, the fragrance of flowers expanded, attracting countless creatures to follow him.

If he hadn't been constantly putting away the flowers, and hadn't been protected by his invisibility cloak, he probably would have been surrounded by the beast horde and trampled to death by all the beasts long ago.

Having now arrived outside the Donglai Mountains, Ying Zheng crushed the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Guiding Flower in his hand and charged towards Emerald City.

Because of the invisibility cloak, those around him only felt a gust of wind pass by, and a faint fragrance tugged at their heartstrings.

At the same time, a terrifying tremor came, and the whole earth seemed to shake, as all kinds of beasts rushed out from the Donglai Mountains.

The terrifying commotion brought the creatures lured by the fragrance of flowers back to their senses, their eyes filled with fear: "The beast tide of the Eastern Mountains has erupted!"

At the same time, Ying Zheng, who rushed into the gates of Emerald City, quickly ventured deeper into the city, scattering the powder of the Seven-Leaf Spirit-Guiding Flower all around.

At that moment, the high-ranking officials of Emerald City suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. As the earth trembled and dust billowed in the distance, accompanied by the sight of countless beasts stampeding, they roared:
"What's going on? This isn't the time for a beast tide! And this scale...something doesn't seem right!"

Qi Kangbo originally bore the heavy responsibility of guarding Emerald City. As one of the four renowned generals in the Emerald Universe, he commanded the Xuanling Legion, which was invincible in battle.

However, at this moment, looking at the surging tide of beasts before him, Qi Kangbo's expression also became extremely solemn.

He had already glimpsed no fewer than five beings at the seventh level of the cosmic realm in this wave of beasts.

Their massive, mountain-like bodies exude a suffocating sense of oppression.

Even the soldiers stationed on the city walls were terrified.

If they were outside the Canglan Illusionary Realm, their true forms would be far more insignificant than they appear.

But in this fantastical world, what does such a massive size mean? These seasoned veterans surely know.
"Close the city gates and raise the bridge!" Qi Kangbo ordered immediately as he climbed the city wall.

As he gave the order, the bridge connecting the city gate slowly rose, leaving only a deep and wide ditch in front of the city wall.

This is a trap specially dug by the Emerald Universe Civilization to defend against the beast tide; the trench is filled with sharp arrows.

It can be said that once a wild animal falls into it, it will only be slaughtered.

However, such traps are clearly far from sufficient in the face of such a massive beast tide.

Qi Kangbo had even foreseen that soon the ditch would be littered with corpses.

He turned to his personal guards and ordered, "Activate the highest level of war mobilization! Under the banner of the Emerald Universe Civilization, all cosmic-level powerhouses must come to resist the beast tide. Emerald City must not be lost!"

As Qi Kangbo's order was relayed, the guards awaiting instructions became unusually solemn. After all, such a high-level war mobilization order had not been used for many years.

In the past, beast tides were always a good opportunity for them to improve their strength. But this beast tide is obviously different from the others, and it is unknown how many casualties it will bring to the Emerald Universe civilization.

However, abandoning Emerald City was something they could not afford.

This would not only ruin the reputation of their Emerald Universe civilization within the Canglan Universe Circle, but also waste countless resources.

Building this Emerald City consumed countless hours and resources of their Emerald Universe civilization.

"As you command, General!"

After the guard responded, his figure quickly left the Azure Illusion Realm and returned to the Emerald Universe.

"Dong dong dong..."

Nine powerful and resounding war bells echoed through the sky, reverberating throughout the entire Emerald Universe.

All the beings of the Emerald Universe civilization changed their expressions upon hearing the bell, a heavy premonition rising in their hearts.

"This bell tolls, signaling the highest level of war mobilization!"

"What exactly happened? Why was such a high-level order triggered?!"

"..."

Those powerful beings at the cosmic level all used the Illusionary Realm Pearls to enter the Azure Illusionary Realm.

Meanwhile, many high-ranking members of the Emerald Universe Civilization, apart from the deceased Chernas, including the other two generals and the seventh-level universe-class powerhouse in charge of other affairs, also rushed to Emerald City.

They quickly scaled the city wall as well, and looking down at the horde of beasts, they couldn't help but gasp: "My God! Such a terrifying beast tide! We've never seen anything like it since Emerald City was founded! Now is not the time for the beast tide to break out!"

"This is indeed strange. Could it be the work of those guys from the Hongmeng Universe Civilization?"

"But how could the power of the Hongmeng Universe Civilization possibly trigger such a beast tide!"

"We can't rule out this possibility, after all, Ying Zheng, the leader of the Hongmeng Universe Civilization, is extremely difficult to deal with. Furthermore, his appearance in the Donglai Mountains might indeed be his doing!" "Now is not the time to discuss the cause of the beast tide, but to find a way to resolve it!"

Upon hearing this, the previously buzzing crowd fell silent.

Then, they all raised their heads, their faces filled with high fighting spirit: "Then let's fight! The beast tide is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity! We must not back down!"

"Qi Kangbo is right! This is both a danger and an opportunity! We've been stagnant at this stage for too long. This beast tide might allow us to further enhance our strength!"

Following the tone set by the high-ranking officials of the Emerald Universe Civilization, all the universe-level powerhouses appeared on the city walls.

Some drew their bows and shot arrows, while others hurled huge stones, beginning their defensive battle against the beast tide below.

All the beasts rushed in, plunging into the ditch filled with sharp spikes. Countless wild animals were pierced by the sharp spikes, and their scarlet blood stained the ditch red.

"Roar!"

The roars of all the beasts echoed through the sky, deafeningly loud.

Meanwhile, atop the Emerald City wall, Qi Kangbo ordered the archers beside him: "Fire!"

"call out!"

In an instant, a volley of arrows was unleashed, the sound of them slicing through the air piercing through metal and splitting stone, penetrating the flesh and vital organs of these beasts. The mournful cries of the beasts rose and fell in waves.

At the same time, countless wild beasts leaped up from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, rushed up the city walls, and fought with the soldiers.

Birds of prey began swooping down from the sky, attacking the soldiers on the city walls. Their sharp beaks and claws were enough to tear apart metal and stone; even the stones on the city walls were as fragile as bubbles under their claws.

Under the fierce onslaught of the beasts, the entire city wall of Emerald City began to tremble inexplicably. But the soldiers of Emerald City fearlessly threw themselves into the battle, and none of them retreated—nor did they dare to.

At this moment, Ying Zheng, hidden behind countless soldiers and using an invisibility cloak, was carefully reaping lives with his Shadow Blade.

His targets were all minor leaders of Emerald City, or at least level four or five powerhouses at the cosmic level.

After all, killing more soldiers would be of no use; only killing the core of Emerald City would make them feel pain.

However, before Ying Zheng could kill a few more, Qi Kangbo, who was fighting fiercely and directing his soldiers in battle, noticed something amiss.

Qi Kangbo was also very puzzled as to why the generals around him had fallen silently. Despite the cover provided by the birds and beasts, he still sensed something was amiss.

Holding a longbow that gleamed with brilliant gold, he suddenly fired an arrow in a certain direction, relying on his extremely keen insight.

"call out!"

Upon hearing the sound of the arrow piercing the air, Ying Zheng knew that he had been exposed.

"Qiang!"

He wielded the Vajra Formation-Breaking Spear, piercing the incoming arrow. His movement revealed his figure, and the other powerful figures who noticed Qi Kangbo's actions also turned their gazes to Ying Zheng.

The moment their gazes fell upon Ying Zheng, they were all enraged, shouting angrily, "It really is that brat Ying Zheng! No wonder this beast tide is so strange, it must be his doing!"

"Ying Zheng dared to infiltrate our stronghold and even attack my subordinates. You're courting death!"

"..."

Faced with their angry attack, Ying Zheng remained calm and said leisurely, "It's nice to see you all, but I don't have time to waste with you right now. You should continue to play with these adorable beasts!"

After speaking, Ying Zheng's figure gradually blurred, and he directly withdrew from the Canglan Illusionary Realm.

"Qiang!"

As soon as Ying Zheng left, several attacks pierced through the spot where he had been standing, blasting a deep crater into the massive wall bricks.

As dust billowed, the crowd's faces darkened, and they gritted their teeth, saying, "He's lucky, but we need to deal with the beast tide crisis first!"

"This matter will not end here. I will personally report to His Majesty the God Emperor later!" Qi Kangbo's eyes were sinister and his tone was icy.

At this time, Ying Zheng had already left the Canglan Illusionary Realm and returned to the main hall of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace. Nuwa and the others were anxiously awaiting his return.

When they saw that Ying Zheng was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Ying Zheng was their backbone; if anything happened to him, the entire Hongmeng Universe would be thrown into turmoil.

At the same time, Nuwa secretly vowed that she must never be as lazy as before and must work hard to improve her cultivation so that she could help Ying Zheng.

Thinking about how she hadn't worked hard in her cultivation before and was only now trying to catch up with the Buddha's teachings at the last minute, Nuwa couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"I've caused some trouble for the Emerald Universe civilization, so they shouldn't have time to deal with us now. Although we can't enter the Azure Illusion Realm on a large scale right now, we can act covertly, as long as we're careful!"

Ying Zheng announced the news to everyone, and the others were overjoyed. After all, the environment of the Hongmeng Universe was worlds apart from that of the Canglan Illusionary Realm.

They were naturally eager to continue their journey to the Canglan Illusionary Realm to improve their strength.

At this moment, Ying Zheng announced again: "Due to the threat posed by the Emerald Universe civilization, I have decided to expedite the transformation of the Hongmeng Universe. After this second transformation, the Hongmeng Universe should be able to barely meet the cultivation needs of all living beings!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Great Mighty Saint Venerable and the others. After a moment of silence, they said, "This is indeed a good thing, but the resources required are enormous. Ying Zheng, are you prepared?"

Ying Zheng, looking smug and full of confidence, said, "Don't worry, the slaughter of those guys from the Emerald Universe Civilization yielded a lot of equipment, enough to cover the costs of this cosmic transformation!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's confident demeanor, no one else asked any further questions.

After all, Ying Zheng personally funded the transformation of the Hongmeng universe with massive resources, an act that they deeply admired.

Afterwards, they returned to prepare for the transformation of the Hongmeng Universe. After all, the scene of the last cosmic transformation was still vivid in their minds, and without thorough preparation, the Hongmeng Universe might have been at risk of destruction.

Every transformation of the Hongmeng universe is both an opportunity and a danger.

If successful, the Hongmeng Universe will have its lifespan extended once again, bringing blessings to all living beings; if it fails, the world and all living beings will be destroyed, and only universe-level powerhouses will be able to barely survive.

After calming Nuwa down, Ying Zheng took out the Celestial Tower of the Universe and began contacting Gu Si.

At this moment, in a certain world within the endless void, Gu Si, sitting cross-legged amidst a vast forest of steles, sensed a flicker of spiritual light.

He looked at the light and aura that were connecting him to him, and knew that it was Ying Zheng looking for him.

Recalling the news he had received earlier, Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh that this guy was truly blessed with good fortune, always managing to turn misfortune into good luck no matter what he did.

"Brother Ying Zheng, you've finally contacted me. When I received your message, I knew you wouldn't die so young. Is this time you're ready to repay the debt from last time?"

Gu Si chuckled and joked. (End of Chapter)
