Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

……

After a slight dizziness, Ying Shaoyang found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

This is a desolate-looking valley, surrounded by bare, yellowish-brown mountain walls with sparse vegetation, and the air is filled with an atmosphere completely different from that of the Qin Dynasty.

He dared not be careless in the slightest. With a thought, the jade pendant of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Array hanging at his waist flew out instantly, growing longer in the wind and transforming into a chaotic starlight barrier that covered the entire valley, completely isolating the internal and external auras to prevent the powerful beings of this realm from noticing.

Meanwhile, he carefully hid the dust from the stone gate, which carried the hope of returning home, in a corner of the valley.

After arranging everything, Ying Shaoyang began to carefully examine his surroundings. The ground beneath his feet was a dark brown color, faintly radiating warmth.

He scanned the area with his divine sense, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and grasped, and a fist-sized, earth-yellow gemstone, with what appeared to be the veins of the earth flowing within it, flew into his hand from an inconspicuous little hill in front of him.

"Shanbao?!"

Feeling the pure and profound earth energy and spirituality contained within the gemstone, Ying Shaoyang was deeply moved.

Such treasures, which gather the essence of a mountain range and are naturally formed, can only be born in the core of large dragon veins in the Qin world after countless years of gestation.

And here, in this extremely ordinary little hill, lies a treasure of such high quality!
"The foundation of this world truly surpasses that of my Great Qin!"

His heart was awe-inspiring.

He crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil, and carefully sensed it. The land beneath his feet not only contained a rich life force, but more importantly, the energy of heaven and earth and spiritual energy here were exceptionally closely combined, almost inseparable.

Although the concentration of the energy of heaven and earth in the Great Qin World may be slightly higher than that of this place for the time being because more than a dozen immortal artifacts are constantly transforming and infusing it from the void and chaos day and night, the energy here is so pure that it is almost perfect and can be directly absorbed and refined into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
What does this mean? It means that in this world, even the most ordinary mortals, living here for a long time, will have their bodies subtly nourished and strengthened by this pure energy, resulting in lifespans and physical constitutions far exceeding those of ordinary mortals in the general world.

This is a fundamental environmental advantage that the Qin world cannot match in any way at present!

Ying Shaoyang slowly spread his divine sense out like mercury spilling onto the ground, exploring the valley and the surrounding area in greater detail.

He soon discovered another peculiar thing.

The surrounding trees, and even spiritual herbs and roots of any grade, were extremely scarce, as if they had been deliberately cleared away by some force. On the contrary, the most ordinary weeds grew exceptionally lushly.

The soil here is extremely active and full of vitality. He felt that even if he randomly threw in a seed, it would quickly take root and sprout.

His consciousness continued to extend outward, passing over several barren hills, and a scene came into his "eyes".

In the distance, hundreds of figures were gathered in a depression.

These creatures were only about half the height of an average person, with an unhealthy grayish-green color, rough skin, slender limbs, and huge heads with protruding eyes. They were the "little green men" he had seen in the information about the stone gate.

At this moment, these little green people are excitedly lying on the ground, frantically digging with their slender fingers for a kind of wild grass with pale golden roots.

They weren't gathering; instead, they scooped up large amounts of soil along with the roots and stuffed them directly into their mouths, chewing them frantically with expressions of satisfaction and greed on their faces, as if they were enjoying an unparalleled delicacy.

There were many more little green people searching for food around. Some of them were particularly thin and looked unwell, their eyes filled with fear and unease as they carefully avoided their fellow green people.

Suddenly, a sharp screech shattered the eerie "feeding" scene. A relatively strong little green man, seemingly tired of digging for grass, pounced on the weakest of his kind beside him.

The skinny little green man let out a shrill scream and struggled desperately, but to no avail. The other little green men around him not only did not stop him, but instead surrounded him, their eyes gleaming with hunger and cruelty.

The screams stopped abruptly.

A moment later, only a pile of bloody bone fragments remained on the spot, not even a trace of meat was left.

The little green men who had participated in the attack licked their lips, reluctantly dispersing to continue searching for wild grass or other... food.

Ying Shaoyang coldly observed all of this with his divine sense, and then continued to explore in the direction from which the little green men had come.

Soon, about ten miles away, he found a simple camp. The camp was surrounded by rough wooden sticks and stones, and in the center was a huge stone pot covered with dirt and black oil stains. At the bottom of the pot were some unburnt slag that looked like bones.

The entire camp was permeated with thousands of auras of the same origin as these little green men—chaotic, hungry, and cruel.

With a slight thought, Ying Shaoyang did not appear directly. Instead, he raised his hand and gently grabbed the group of little green men in the distance who were frantically "eating" and wary of each other.

In an instant, the world spun around.

The hundreds of little green men felt an irresistible force enveloping their entire bodies. In a flash, they were transported from the familiar wasteland into a strange space that was dazzling with starlight and seemed to exist independently of the world—the interior of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation that Ying Shaoyang had deployed.

At first, these small green creatures were terrified, emitting sharp, piercing squeaking noises and scurrying around in all directions.

But soon, some of the stronger little green men stopped their pointless screams and started emitting short, sharp roars with the same tone and rhythm, as if they were communicating or cursing each other.

This shows that they had already formed a rudimentary language with communicative functions.

When they discovered Ying Shaoyang standing in the center of the starlight, his aura completely out of place with his surroundings, their fear was quickly replaced by a primal cruelty and the excitement brought on by hunger.

Their bulging eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, foul-smelling saliva dripped from their mouths, and they let out bloodthirsty howls, as if they had discovered the most delicious prey. They pounced on Ying Shaoyang without regard for anything, their slender fingers curled into claws, bringing with them a vicious wind.

"Humph."

Ying Shaoyang snorted coldly, and without even lifting a finger, a powerful divine sense swept out like an invisible shockwave.

"Puff puff……"

The dozens of little green men at the forefront were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, spitting out mouthfuls of green blood. Their bodies flew back at an even faster speed, crashing heavily onto the starlight barrier, breaking their bones and tendons.

This startled all the little green men.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ying Shaoyang's eyes.

Although he hadn't used his full power with that divine thought, it was enough to easily kill ordinary martial arts masters in the Great Qin world. And these little green figures, who looked weak and showed no signs of cultivation, were only coughing up blood and injured; their tenacity far exceeded his expectations.

He sensed it more closely and became even more alarmed.

These little green monsters possessed astonishing physical attributes. In terms of life essence, basic physical strength, speed, and resilience, they were almost on par with ordinary soldiers in the elite regular army of the Great Qin!
It should be noted that the Qin army consists of elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous selection and have practiced military skills, many of whom have already reached the level of second-rate masters.

The Qin Dynasty's current regular army, at most, numbers no more than a million. Under normal circumstances, the main force of the army is mainly second-rate. This sudden outbreak of "smallpox" has created tens of millions of people with top-notch internal strength, which is truly an exceptional situation.

These uncivilized, untrained little monsters, their innate physiques alone are comparable to the Qin Dynasty's regular army? This discovery instantly raised Ying Shaoyang's assessment of the danger of this world by several levels.

The little green men were injured by Ying Shaoyang's divine sense. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the remaining ones immediately let out terrified screams and frantically fled within the array space like headless flies, trying to find a way out.

Some of the more timid ones even knelt down on the ground, desperately kowtowing in Ying Shaoyang's direction, uttering indistinct pleas, their eyes filled with fear.

"Its intelligence has been awakened, but it is inherently cruel and ruthless; keeping it is of no use."

Ying Shaoyang shook his head slightly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

His mind stirred once more.

"Boom!"

Within the array space, dozens of tiny bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking each of the little green men with pinpoint accuracy. A blinding flash of lightning, accompanied by a series of short, piercing screams, and all the little green men, along with their bone fragments, were reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace under the extremely powerful and yang lightning.

"Their willpower is weak, far less resilient than that of the soldiers of our Great Qin."

Ying Shaoyang commented.

These little monsters possess powerful physical attributes, but their mental fortitude is extremely weak. Once they encounter an irresistible force, they will quickly collapse.

He adjusted the overall strength of these little green men to a level comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty's army.

But upon closer inspection, I found something different.

Although the soldiers of the Great Qin Commandery possess internal energy, their internal energy recovers slowly after being depleted, limiting their ability to sustain combat.

These goblins seem to be able to unleash their brute strength at any time, as long as they have enough food, and their endurance is astonishing. Coupled with their ferocious nature of cannibalism, they could probably perform exceptionally well in a favorable situation. On the other hand, the Qin army, although trained, lacks large-scale combat experience. If they were to encounter these ferocious and fearless monsters for the first time on the battlefield, the outcome would be uncertain.

With a wave of his hand, Ying Shaoyang dispelled the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Formation, then unleashed his Immovable Formation, his figure and aura completely vanishing as if merging into the void. The next moment, he silently appeared above the goblin camp several miles away, looking down at the scene below.

In the center of the camp, an old goblin, who looked even thinner than the others but whose eyes held a hint of cunning, sat on a rock, screeching something in a high-pitched voice. Below, a group of goblins echoed his words like doves, repeating certain syllables from his speech.

Among them, three recurring, slightly odd syllables were keenly noticed by Ying Shaoyang.

“Go…b…lin…”

Ying Shaoyang silently recited the name to himself, and based on their appearance, finally determined the name of this creature—"Goblin".

"As expected, it's this kind of troublesome thing."

Ying Shaoyang gave a bitter smile. Goblins are known in various legends and stories as weak, greedy, and cruel, but their most terrifying aspect lies in their terrifyingly fast reproduction rate.

Moreover, in the settings of many worlds, this kind of creature often coexists with more powerful gods, demons, dragons, giants and other terrifying life forms!
He did not linger there. With a swift movement, he shot into the sky like an arrow, piercing through the barrier between heaven and earth of this world and entering the outer void.

As soon as he entered the void, the violent semi-transformed energy of heaven and earth surged in like a tide, impacting his protective aura.

His brocade robe glowed slightly, and the flowing lightning patterns easily blocked the violent energy, preventing it from harming him in the slightest.

He spread his divine sense, carefully sensing this void. Similar to the void before his tribulation in the Great Qin World, this void was also deathly still, lacking the scene of hundreds of thousands of newly formed stars and immortal artifacts that adorned the Great Qin World, appearing vast and primitive.

He looked back at the barrier between heaven and earth he had just passed through. Unlike the membrane of the Qin world, which was covered with lightning patterns, the barrier between heaven and earth in this world appeared thicker and more ancient, exuding a vast and ancient aura.

Ying Shaoyang could sense that the violent energy in the void, after passing through this barrier, seemed to be filtered and transformed by some kind of rule, becoming something that could be directly absorbed and utilized by the goblins below.

"The accumulated energy of heaven and earth in this world is far beyond imagination."

He thought to himself. The energy that simply seeps and transforms naturally is enough to give birth to a race like goblins with astonishing physical abilities.

At the same time, he also noticed that judging from the life force of those goblins, their maximum lifespan was only about thirty years old, and the vast majority of them would not live to that age.

However, they have an extremely strong reproductive capacity, and can reproduce a generation in just a few years.

If their numbers reach a certain level and they become overwhelming, their ability to expand and survive will likely be more suited to "developing" the world in such a harsh environment than that of a normally developing human race, or rather, to consuming the world's resources.

However, when his divine sense swept over the simple goblin settlement below, which he called "city," he discovered a strange phenomenon.

The number of adult female goblins in the city is extremely small, disproportionate to the large goblin population.

Filled with doubt, he carefully observed the small, filthy town, densely packed with shacks. The town was permeated with the aura of hundreds of thousands of goblins, chaotic and noisy.

He saw goblins trading some dark, smoky food with a taller goblin wearing tattered leather armor for a piece of ore they had picked up, which shimmered with a faint metallic luster. They then wolfed it down.

He even saw "shops" selling bound, groaning pig-headed monsters, and... processed goblin corpses!
Ying Shaoyang's divine sense locked onto a female goblin hiding in the corner of the shack, her belly swollen.

He "saw" that the female goblin was indeed pregnant, and inside her belly, there were more than ten tiny lives developing at the same time!
To verify a terrifying hypothesis, Ying Shaoyang's divine sense trembled slightly, and an extremely subtle fluctuation was transmitted.

"Ow—!"

The pregnant female goblin let out a bloodcurdling scream, collapsed to the ground, and convulsed violently. (End of Chapter)
