Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1126: The True Meaning of Going Against Fate
Upon entering the Ancient Locust Mountain Range, Bai Pu indeed sensed a mysterious mental interference.

The roots of this giant locust tree, reaching to the sky, are like rocks, covered with loose soil over the years, which transforms into soil, making the tree's massive root system truly resemble a magnificent mountain range.

On the soil of this magnificent mountain range formed by the roots of the giant locust tree, a lush forest has grown, with towering trees everywhere.

Of course, the lush forest at the foot of this giant locust tree is an exaggeration when it is described as "towering." Compared to the giant locust tree, these so-called towering trees are not even comparable to a blade of grass under it.

The giant locust tree is the true "towering tree," its canopy having long since pierced through the clouds and stretched into outer space—provided, of course, that the concept of outer space exists in the wild world.

The lush forests of the Ancient Locust Mountain Range give rise to a strange kind of mist.

This fog is semi-transparent and does not affect visual perception, but it has the effect of suppressing mental detection, and its priority is particularly high.

With Bai Pu's current priority of 26 points (including the bonus from the Doomsday Purple Weapon), the range of his mental detection can only extend to a few dozen meters.

In fog, it's easy to become disoriented and lose your sense of direction.

Bai Pu followed the coordinates of the clumsy bird and moved straight ahead, embedding magic sand into the trees along the way and leaving marks in the writing style of the three tribes of Cuiling.

On the way, he encountered several dangerous areas.

First of all, the air is very unsafe. Above the forests of the Ancient Locust Mountain Range, there are spiky spores that can cause multiple layers of poisoning if you get pierced by them.

Once the poisoning effect is successfully determined, the spores in the body will rapidly multiply, turning humans and animals into a breeding ground for fungi.

Bai Pu had no idea how the Lion Camel Dragon had brought him across time.

It's possible that my and the Lion Camel Dragon's fixed damage reduction was too high, preventing the spiky spore cloud from invading.

On the ground, there are even more dangerous places.

The pale woodland is hunted by demonic spiders, whose leader is a savage, exotic species—a king-level creature.

The canyon with howling winds is an extremely yin place in the Ancient Locust Mountain Range, where countless dead souls dwell.

There are also scorching lava pools inhabited by plump lava worms that appear docile and harmless, but whose scalding liquid has the power to destroy metal and bones.

Only a tough, mobile, and versatile warrior like Bai Pu could escape from these dangerous places and find a way out.

Bai Pu carefully navigated around these dangerous areas and, after two days of trekking, finally crossed the Ancient Locust Mountain Range.

The journey wasn't too long, but the main problem was that we had to avoid various dangerous places while clearing the road, which inevitably took some time.

Bai Pu estimated that once the warriors of the three tribes of Cuiling were familiar with the route, it would only take them a little over a day to cross the Ancient Locust Mountain Range. Including the journey from their tribe's territory to Huaixi City, it would take at most three or four days.

Last time, Lion Camel Dragon flew with Bai Pu for four days and five nights. It seemed like they flew a very, very far distance, but in reality, Lion Camel Dragon was not flying in a straight line in one direction. It didn't even know where it was flying.

These four days and five nights felt more like a winding and circuitous duel.

"Now that we have found the way, we can summon Dafei and fly to the territory of the Green Ridge Clan."

Bai Pugang breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly a message appeared in the Source Master Space.

It's the two witches tagging themselves.

"What's wrong?" Bai Pu asked.

"Little Bai, your aunt has integrated the profound mysteries of the mind into the 'True Meaning of Reversing Life' and has successfully comprehended the third-grade 'True Meaning of Reversing Fate'!"

Inside the Source Master Space, Xiao Wu spoke very quickly, “She has now used the newly condensed ‘Rebellious Fate’ to construct a layer of Mirror Flower Water Moon Barrier, which can temporarily deceive that group of snow beastmen, after all, they are not very smart.”

"Yes, continue." Bai Pu's voice was calm and steady, carrying a reassuring power.

"My aunt and I discussed it, and we decided that hiding like this and wasting time isn't a good idea. We need to go back to the main human city and turn in the quest before we're safe."

Wu Qingyun said, "We're hiding inside the Mirror Flower Water Moon barrier, preparing for the Source Lord's descent ceremony, planning to summon you across realms to be our henchman..."

"I've also accepted a main quest, but it has a ten-day deadline. After deducting the time spent traveling back and forth, I should be able to free up about a day."

Bai Pu said, "You and Mingyue calculate the time and lure the Snow Beastmen's pursuers here. It would be best to lure the Snow Beastmen's overseer as well, and I'll take care of them all at once."

"Snow Beastman Overlord? That's a level 16 Enhanced Lord..."

Not only Wu Qingyun, but even Wu Mingyue, who was setting up the ceremony for the descent of the Source Lord, was shocked.

Six months ago, in the world of Saints and Demons, everyone was still struggling against the demon lord Saramac.

Saramac is only a level 14 lord.

Only half a year has passed, and Little White... no, the great Source Lord dares to challenge a level 16 enhanced lord?

"A mere level 16 enhanced lord, even if you add a few snow orc lords, they're nothing but chickens and dogs in my eyes."

Bai Pu stated a boastful fact in a calm tone: "After all, I just killed a King-level creature and am now on my way to taking down the second King-level creature."

"Great, that's fantastic."

Both the big and small witches instantly felt an erection.

My back is straight now.

You have powerful backers!
“Let’s devise a plan. We’ll pretend to accidentally reveal a weakness and lure several Snow Beast commanders (lord-level) over at the same time. As for whether we can attract the Snow Beast Overseer Montug, that’s another story.” Wu Mingyue quickly made a decision. “Anyway, as long as we take down a few Snow Beast commanders and create large gaps in the Snow Beasts’ pursuit network, we can reach the human capital smoothly. All things considered, it should only take you half a day at most.”

Okay, keep it up.

After ending the call, Bai Pu summoned Da Fei.

He sat on Dafei's back and headed towards the Qing Clan's territory.

However, even while on his journey, Bai Pu still devoted some of his attention to deduction.

Endless deduction is so useful, it's almost addictive. Right now, Bai Pu only has 10 times more computing power than himself, and when he's deducing skills and true meanings, he's already getting a vague sense of omnipotence.

You have mastered the essence of the Sand Gold Qi.

【Golden Sand Qi: Converts your energy into a mixture of gold and earth attributes, increasing your base energy strength by (30) points, but not exceeding 1290 points; you gain 35% armor penetration.】

The comprehension is complete.

Bai Pu opened his eyes.

In fact, the only improvement that Sand Gold Qi brings to Bai Pu is the last one, which is 35% armor penetration.

Like the first one, the energy is converted into a mixture of metal and earth attributes, which is definitely not as comprehensive as Bai Pu's current Prismatic Magic Battle Qi attribute.

The second energy intensity increase is certainly good, but the skill's grade is too low, only increasing it by 30 points.

This is just a skill dropped from the lord, so the increase in energy intensity is small, which is normal.

If the Sand Gold Qi skill book was obtained from Sha Tongtian, the skill grade would likely be higher, and the energy intensity could be increased by forty points.

However, this improvement for Bai Pu is still very limited. It should be noted that Bai Pu currently possesses a King-level Purple Weapon, which has the strength of a two-star King-level weapon. The improvement in his basic strength will not have much effect.

Bai Pu sighed softly. The stronger one is, the less chance one has of further advancement in the spirit world.

Fortunately, the Wilderness World is challenging enough and vast enough. Since the demonic beasts possess powerful, savage species, the human race should also have powerful king-level experts, and perhaps even many powerful beings from other races, providing Bai Pu with greater opportunities for growth.

Bai Pu originally did not intend to cultivate Sand Gold Qi as an advanced skill.

He wanted to obtain the Qi cultivation methods of the Ye Clan, the Lin Clan, and even the Eastern City Lord, and then use endless deduction to merge them and deduce an ultimate Qi cultivation method.

Just like how he created his own cultivation method, "Prismatic Demonic Battle Qi," in the professional dimension.

However, when Bai Pu tried to subtly inquire with Ye Xiu, the patriarch of the Ye clan, about the complete cultivation method of "Jiemu Gangqi," Ye Xiu politely declined.

Ye Xiu said that in order to thank Bai Pu for his help, he was willing to give away a lot of precious medicines, including some of the Ye clan's non-secret prescriptions.

However, the Wood-based Qi is the foundation of the Leaf Clan's existence.

The importance of the Wood-Slaying Qi can be seen from this incident where the Sand Clan attempted to frame the Leaf Clan.

Even if Ye Xiu were the clan leader, he wouldn't dare to impart the complete cultivation method of the Calamity Wood Qi, otherwise the clan would probably be in an uproar.

This shows that murder and robbery are the most direct and violent methods.

Bai Pu had no connection with the Sand Clan, but by killing their leader Sha Hao, he obtained the secrets of the Sand Gold Qi.

He wanted to befriend the Ye Clan and peacefully acquire the Calamity Wood Qi by increasing his reputation and favorability. It is estimated that he would need to raise his reputation to at least the Worship level before he could possibly obtain the cultivation method for the Calamity Wood Qi.

There's nothing he can do about it; after all, this is Bai Pu's main storyline world, and he can't just pull off a heist and leave without a care in the world.

If things really get out of hand, he'll be surrounded by enemies in Huai Xi City. Not only him, but the three clans of Cui Ling will also be unable to survive. Bai Pu's base of influence in this world will be destroyed.

Therefore, one should first cultivate the Sand Gold Qi, and gradually deduce the higher realms of Sand Gold Qi through endless deduction. Other Qi cultivation methods can be approached gradually.

Bai Pu now has 35% armor penetration, further enhancing his damage output.

This is why he was confident enough to boast to the great and small shamans that he could deal with both the Snow Beastman overseer and several Snow Beastman commanders at the same time.

……

Qing ethnic group's territory.

Qingrou was praying before the statue of the giant serpent guardian deity. Suddenly, she felt a surge of restlessness in her chest.

The clumsy little bird, Tuanque, poked its head out of the animal skin bag and chirped incessantly.

'Be quiet, little Tuantuan, I'm praying.'

Qingrou gently comforted her while silently praying to the giant snake guardian: "Great guardian, please don't take offense at Xiaotuantuan. It's just a silly bird."

However, the clumsy bird, Tuan Que, was very disobedient. It squeezed out of her full embrace, nimbly jumped onto her shoulder, then onto her head, and flew in circles in front of the huge statue of the giant serpent guardian.

Could it be... could it be that Lord Bai Pu has returned?
Qingrou was both surprised and delighted. She quickly ended her prayer and left the area around the giant snake statue.

Back in the settlement, a figure riding a huge beast descended from the sky!
