I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 812 I am the Great Sun, Behind the Mountain

Wen Yan was in a good mood. She had previously said that even land that was temporarily unused was good for composting. Who would have thought that high-quality fertilizer would be delivered to her door so quickly.

That's really great.

This can be considered as making up for the regret that he did not join the Shenzhou group when the gods declared war.

Sure enough, the most crucial step of reducing the bones to ashes had to be done by him; no one else was meticulous enough.

Wen Yan swayed and circled the River Styx, and saw the false god rowing a boat and singing, seemingly very happy. Wen Yan ignored him and quietly ran to the underworld, looking at the other side of the River Styx.

The place was still so desolate and lifeless that it instinctively aroused disgust. Wen Yan glanced around and, after confirming that nothing was amiss, a thought struck him.

Although I never want to come back to this godforsaken place again in my life, what place is more suitable for having fun than this?
Thinking of this, Wen Yan leaped up, adjusted her posture in mid-air, and then tried to take flight.

Sure enough, the earth and gravity prevented him from flying.

He flew into the air, his speed increasing rapidly, with no obstructions, and he didn't even need to worry about flying off at such high speeds.

After accelerating to a certain extent, a sonic boom appeared around Wen Yan, and everything was rapidly receding backward.

The flames that ignited on his body grew increasingly intense, like... a shrunken sun flying across the sky above the underworld.

His radiance naturally shone upon the underworld.

His speed increased so much that his eyes could no longer keep up with his own pace, and everything around him began to blur.

Soon, he saw a mountain range appear in the boundless, flat wilderness. The mountain range flashed by in his eyes and was quickly left behind.

Wen Yan began to slow down and returned to that mountain, the familiar Black Mountain. He had crossed this place before finding the River Styx.

Following the same path, he flew back and soon saw the manor where he had lived for a period of time.

The manor that once belonged to Prince Zhu still stands quietly in the wilderness.

The manor gates were tightly shut, and there were no lights in sight. Inside the courtyard, only the mindless paper figures continued their routine maintenance of the manor.

Wen Yan landed heavily outside the manor. There were still faint traces of a fight and other people's presence.

They were probably people who later fell into the underworld by chance.

Shenzhou has used the server domain of the mysterious forum to completely block the Underworld game, and all news channels have been blocked.

However, people can still occasionally get into this place, and the Lieyang Department needs someone to patrol here from time to time to monitor the progress of changes here.

When Wen Yan appeared, the paper figures inside noticed her and opened the courtyard gate to invite her in.

The interior is well-maintained; the places that should be spotless are still clean.

However, some things are already covered with the marks of time, and without the corresponding materials, maintaining this place would probably be quite difficult.

Fortunately, the manor already had everything it needed.

Wen Yan made a round and collected another batch of medicinal herbs that had been planted in the vegetable garden. She noticed that some of the paper figures already had holes in them.

After a moment's thought, Wen Yan summoned all the paper figures.

He reached out and blessed each of the paper figures with the blazing sun three times.

"This used to be Prince Zhu's manor, although he later agreed to give it to me."

I lived here for a period of time.

It's a bit of a pity that it's been ruined by time.

Last time, none of you were enlightened, nor did you develop any intelligence.

Only the butler was enlightened and I took him away.

You will need to continue maintaining this manor here, but your current state is clearly insufficient.

I will bless each of you paper figures with the blazing sun three times.

Whether you can be enlightened and develop intelligence depends entirely on yourselves.

If it doesn't work this time, I will still enlighten you when I come again next time.

Consider this your reward for maintaining the manor.

If it has developed intelligence, then when I return, the manor will be well-maintained.

Then I will give the paper figure that has developed sentience a choice: stay here to maintain it, or leave with me.

Even those who haven't developed sentience, I will still give them three more bursts of sunlight, attempting to enlighten them.

The blazing sun at this moment is not what it used to be.

The reason why the butler was able to be enlightened in one go was simply because the butler himself was highly spiritual, had a lot of popularity, and the paper effigy itself was of a high quality.

But the remaining paper figures are no good; they are born with too low an innate talent.

Even when Wen Yan, under the blazing sun, came to enlighten them, after observing them for a long time, none of them showed any sign of developing intelligence.

There are two who seem to have significantly improved their spirituality. Perhaps if they settle down for a while, they can be enlightened the next time they come.

Because these two had experienced a spiritual ascension, they had already performed a grand ceremony to express their gratitude.

Wen Yan wandered around the manor again and then went to the study to stay for a while.

It was here that he was saved from being driven mad by the deathly silence and boredom.

After revisiting the place, Wen Yan left with her belongings, this time not flying too fast.

Having crossed the high mountains, I returned to the banks of the River Styx, walked upon the River Styx, and returned to the mortal world.

The newly harvested medicinal herbs were all taken away by someone, so that they could study them on their own later.

The moment Wenyan returned to the present world, a new prompt appeared.

"You let the radiant light of the fusion sun shine upon the underworld, and flew over the underworld in the form of the sun."

From this moment on, the reality of the underworld begins to rise, and the flow of time begins to freeze.

"Drived the evolution of the world, gaining an additional 5% progress in the Sunfire."

"The progress of the blazing sun has exceeded 95%, and the following options are available."

1: Ascend to the Heavenly Court and become the Blazing Sun Star Lord, while also serving as the Star Lord of the Dispelling Calamities Department.

2: When the progress reaches 100%, ascend to the Heavenly Court and become the new Sun Official.

3: When the progress reaches 100%, ascend to the Underworld and become the Underworld Emperor, who can interfere with the evolution of the Underworld's rules.

4: Never ascends to heaven. The divine abilities related to the blazing sun can be expanded according to the actual situation. The scope of expansion includes, but is not limited to, spatial scope and dimensional scope.

Note: All choices are available indefinitely and can be made at any time.

"The new special effects for the blazing sun have been completed."

"Special effect: I am the Great Sun."

Basic passive effect: Simply basking in the sun will increase your strength and speed up the progress of the Sun's Radiance.

Special effect: You are the embodiment of the Holy Sun in the mortal world. Furthermore, related divine abilities can, to a limited extent, have a reverse effect on a portion of the Sun's power. You can try it yourself; no further information is available.

Standing in the present world, under the blazing sun, Wen Yan looked up and looked at the sun. He no longer felt the glare; he could only feel a gentle power flowing into his body.

It had been there before, but it feels smoother and gentler right now.

The other method, sunbathing, increases the progress of the Sun's Intense Heat. I haven't noticed anything yet, since the progress of the Sun's Intense Heat starts at 1%, and there shouldn't be any effect if it's less than 1%.

He figured he could just wait and see; he didn't care about the remaining progress.

At this point, the remaining progress has little impact. If you want to ascend, you can do it now.

If he doesn't ascend, there's no information left for the future; he'll have to raise his limits little by little on his own.

Wen Yan quietly felt it for a moment, then reached out her hand, as if she were grasping the sunlight.

As he moved, he began to influence the power of the sun shining here in reverse.

He began to add something to those warm rays of sunlight.

As the scope of influence gradually expands to encompass the entire city of De, it begins to feel somewhat strained.

Wen Yan didn't force him, saying they could take it slowly later.

Looking at the time, it was seven in the morning. Wen Yan didn't go straight home. Instead, he wandered around outside and had breakfast.

The breakfast vendor was already very familiar with Wen Yan, and upon seeing her, he immediately understood.

"Are you still awake?"

"Wow, boss, you could tell that?"

"Hey, I know you young people. If you have to go to work, who's as leisurely as you at this hour?"

Look at those people who have to go to work; their mental state is completely different from yours. They're all rushing around.

"You're so relaxed, you must have been up all night. Come have some breakfast before you go to bed."

The boss, looking like he knew everything, turned around and pointed at Wen Yan.

Then, the boss looked at it with some surprise.

Those people looked gloomy and tired, and their aversion to going to work seemed to have diminished compared to before.

There were two other people, eating their breakfast in the sun, chatting happily about nothing in particular.

The boss had a sudden inspiration and immediately had an answer.

"It's Friday today!"

"The boss is right." Wen Yan chuckled and nodded immediately.

He could sense that at this time of day, the sunlight in De City had changed slightly.

He could see that the gloomy aura, the evil spirits, and other negative things on some people disappeared silently under the sunlight.

Sunlight, with its slightly intense intensity, replenishes the other person's yang energy in a very gentle way.

This was only the surface. After careful observation, Wen Yan could vaguely sense that the sunlight seemed to be shining into the hearts of everyone around her.

The darkness within my heart began to be illuminated, and like the gloomy energy, it slowly dissipated.

Then he saw a quiet child take a step forward, as if he had mustered up great courage, and step out from the shadows into the sun.

As Wen Yan felt the sun, she sensed that the gloomy and silent aura emanating from the child was slowly dissipating.

The child's parents came over and coaxed the child to come and eat.

Wen Yan suddenly spoke.

"At this time of day, the sun isn't too strong yet, so it's nice for the kids to get some sunshine."

The silent child suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Yan with a stubborn and earnest gaze.

"You felt it too, right?"

"Correct."

Anyone could tell from the child's eyes that his once withdrawn gaze had brightened a little; he sensed that Wen Yan could understand what he was saying.

The child's parents stood by, somewhat at a loss, unsure how to cope with this change.

Wen Yan finished her breakfast with a cheerful smile. Before leaving, she took one last look at the child who was still earnestly basking in the sun.

"The sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the feeling is almost gone. Don't stay in the sun for too long, we'll do it tomorrow."

The child nodded emphatically, said nothing, and continued to bask in the sun.

Wen Yan packed some breakfast and sauntered away.

He was extremely satisfied with the new special effects.

It doesn't seem that impressive at first glance, but he thinks that the current special effects might be much more powerful than before.

Starting today, the morning sun will be able to shine on places that it couldn't reach before.

Ascension? What's the point of ascension? Ascension just means solidifying into the current state.

Just wait, he still has a lot to study.

When his lifespan comes to an end someday, he will ascend again and become an NPC in the Heavenly Court.

Time passed little by little, and Wen Yan no longer had any tasks.

In addition to the gradual growth of the core members, the Lieyang Division has also begun to summarize some ways to solve problems through teamwork.

It's not that we didn't have these countermeasures before, but the average strength of our largest field team was simply insufficient to support the forces needed to deal with emergencies.

Wen Yan stayed at home, while on the other side of the Great Wilderness, Bing Zu and Pei Tu Gou continued their advance.

The two of them fought their way through, and the ancestor of war hardly made a move. In just three months, Pei Tugou advanced again.

He was once a god of death, his body dripping with blood, his murderous aura uncontrollable, his killing intent and malevolent energy overflowing.

Now he's a clean-cut, slim young man in a white shirt.

When he smiles and reveals his two rows of big white teeth again, he doesn't look creepy anymore; instead, he exudes a sunny and clean vibe.

Of course, this is before any action is taken.

When he started to attack, his murderous aura and malevolent energy were far more terrifying than before.

The spiritual energy recovery in the Great Wilderness is progressing faster than in the present world, but no matter how fast it is, it won't be much faster.

This gap in progress is far from enough to make up for the gap in individual capabilities.

The monsters of the Great Wilderness have all been defeated and subdued.

Those who were dissatisfied have already returned to heaven and earth, and the same goes for those who wanted to cause trouble; even their fortune has been taken away.

Bingzu and Pei Tugou have now arrived at the edge of a gloomy and cold mountain range.

Although it is called a mountain range, the core area actually consists of only a few mountains.

The demons and monsters on the periphery have been mostly killed off. Those remaining are either willing to cooperate without violence or are simply too weak.

The original order of the Great Wilderness was forcibly reversed in a very strange way within just a few months.

Because those monsters have all learned to conclude that those who resort to killing without thinking, or even take pleasure in killing, die faster and their clans perish more thoroughly.

The atmosphere in the Great Wilderness suddenly improved a lot. Some monsters, strange beasts, and aliens even felt that it was a good thing that the Ancestor of Soldiers and Pei the Butcher had come all the way here.

At the summit of a black mountain, Bingzu frowned as he looked at the small hills in the center of the mountain range, and at this moment he did not forget to take a couple of sips of iced cola.

Pei Tugou looked at the few small hills with some surprise and uncertainty.

"Those small hills look... like the hills behind my workplace."
