I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes pondered for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and slowly said, "It was a world full of oppression and death, where human life was as worthless as grass."

Her voice was lower than usual, carrying a hint of gloom that was hard to conceal.

Zhang Yangqing could understand this feeling.

Judging from her previous descriptions and behavior, the "Nine Netherworld" where she is located is obviously also filled with powerful and bizarre phenomena, and poses a huge threat to the original human inhabitants. The social structure is likely to be distorted as a result, and the people at the bottom of society are living in dire straits.

He didn't interrupt, but listened quietly, gesturing for her to continue.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes seemed to be lost in a brief recollection, her tone tinged with self-deprecation: "The reason I was initially sold by my family to work as a miner was actually because of some special bloodline in my family."
Our bloodline contains a strong vitality and regenerative ability, making us less prone to injury and quicker to recover from it. In some people's eyes, this makes us the best 'tools'—tireless, hardworking, and high-quality laborers.

She paused, glanced at Zhang Yangqing, and a strange smile appeared on her face, as if she wanted to lighten the heavy topic with a relaxed tone: "Big brother, don't look at me like this now. Actually, when I was a child, I was quite ordinary-looking. I was thin and small, and because of malnutrition, my hair was dry and yellow. I was not nearly as 'attractive' as I am now."

Zhang Yangqing: "."

He was speechless for a while.

This woman still finds time to indulge in a little self-admiration even at a time like this?
However, to be fair, her current appearance and temperament are indeed top-notch, and she should be a little narcissistic.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes didn't dwell on the issue of appearance and quickly returned to the main topic: "Before the large-scale arrival of the strange phenomena, the greatest threat to our world was actually the Heavenly Demons, or rather, the Demon Race. They came from beyond the realm or from certain abyssal rifts, and were bloodthirsty and warlike, fighting against our human race for countless years."

"Until about a thousand years ago, a peerless and supremely powerful cultivator emerged among the human race. He appeared out of nowhere, his cultivation reaching the heavens, and single-handedly challenged the most powerful demonic lair at the time, the 'Demon Cave.'"
That battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth trembled, and the sun and moon were dimmed. In the end, he razed the Heavenly Demon Cave to the ground, almost completely crushing the main force of the demon race that had been ravaging the land for so long!

"When the news spread, the whole world was shocked! Throughout the entire Nine Netherworld, whether human or other races, they all regarded him as their savior and worshipped him. His prestige reached its peak, and he was even considered to be on the verge of unifying the world and creating an unprecedented golden age."

At this point, the woman with the peach blossom eyes looked extremely complicated, with reverence, fear, and even more so, an unspeakable confusion.

"However, no one could have imagined that this supreme being, regarded as the savior, would also become the beginning of the strange descent, or rather, the instigator."

"No one knows what taboo he violated or what unknown rules he triggered while he was wiping out the Heavenly Demon Cave, or what he did afterward. Just when his reputation was at its peak, countless incomprehensible, incommunicable, twisted and powerful 'weird' creatures descended like a tide without warning!"

“They come from cracks in the sky, abysses in the earth, and even emerge directly from shadows and concepts. They disregard the laws of physics, possess all sorts of unbelievable abilities and instant death rules. Wherever they go, life is ravaged and all things perish! Prosperous cities are turned into ghost realms, and powerful cultivators are crushed like ants!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yangqing frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "How did you determine that the strange occurrences were related to him? Did he admit it himself?"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes nodded, her voice tinged with a hint of confusion: "Yes, at that time, the terrifying scene of the strange arrival stunned all the powerful figures in the world, and that supreme expert, upon witnessing the arrival of the strange phenomenon, is said to have gone mad on the spot."
He let out a mournful howl, repeatedly muttering things like "It's my fault," "I shouldn't have," and "The rules...backlash," but he didn't explain what he had done wrong; he was only filled with endless regret and despair. "And then? What did he do? Or rather, what happened to him?" Zhang Yangqing pressed.

"He," the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes said thoughtfully, "is said to have tried to fight against the most powerful and original sources of the strange phenomena that first descended. The aftershocks of the battle even tore apart a small part of the middle-level realm, but the strange phenomena seem endless, and the rules are becoming increasingly chaotic."
Then he mysteriously disappeared. No one saw him leave, and no one found his body or any trace of him. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. Some rumors said he died from exhaustion in battle, some said he was devoured by some terrifying monster, and others said he didn't die but simply left or hid in some special way.

Seemingly remembering something, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes added, "Speaking of which, I once stumbled upon an unnamed statue, possibly erected for him, in an extremely dangerous ancient secret realm. The statue was just an ordinary rock carving, very simple and even somewhat rough, standing amidst ruins."
At the time, I just felt that there was something inexplicably off about the statue's aura, that it didn't fit into its surroundings, or even the 'feeling' of our world, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was strange about it.

She looked at Zhang Yangqing, a flash of understanding in her eyes: "But now that I've come to the Undying Mountain Realm and encountered its different rules and auras, I think I understand a little. That sense of incongruity is like someone who doesn't belong to our world being forcibly forced into it."

Although it's just a statue, I suspect that the supreme being himself might not have been a 'native' of our world.

This conjecture is bold, but considering the cause of the strange occurrence, it seems to increase the likelihood of it.

Zhang Yangqing nodded thoughtfully, not drawing a conclusion immediately, but simply keeping the information in mind.

Next, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes described in detail the tragic state of her world after it was ravaged by the bizarre.

In her words, the land and the sky were almost entirely occupied and divided by various powerful and bizarre creatures.

For many people, sunshine has become something legendary.

Humans and other surviving intelligent species can only eke out a living like rats, hiding in the dark, intricate underground world.

If someone with the peach blossom eyes, whose strength has reached the Celestial Realm, were to leave the underground shelter and be exposed to the 'surface world,' they would immediately attract countless strange attention and besieges.

If she doesn't find another shelter or escape back underground soon, even she won't last long, and will eventually be exhausted and eaten.

When the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes recounted the horrors of those strange creatures, she spoke vividly, as if she had personally experienced countless life-or-death escapes.

She described the towering, massive 'creeping skeletons' that could move thousands of meters high and cause landslides, the 'whispering shadows' that could invisibly erode souls and drive people to self-destruction in madness, and the 'conceptual anomalies' that were like living rules, causing instant death upon touch.
As she spoke, a strange sense of pride even appeared on her face: "However, I didn't do this for nothing! I've collected a lot of information on the behavior patterns, abilities, and possible weaknesses and rules of different types of bizarre creatures for the people of the underworld!"
Although much of it was just sap, it helped many settlements avoid annihilation, making a small contribution to human survival and development.

She sighed, her tone filled with deep regret and resentment: "Alas, if my lifespan weren't nearing its end, forcing me to risk everything to find a way to prolong my life and leave the Nine Netherworld, I really wanted to solve more strange mysteries and explore more areas."
My greatest wish in this life is not immortality, but to truly reclaim a place of home for our human race! (End of Chapter)
