The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1088 The Immortal Mountain Still Exists
boom!
A figure burst in from the side wall.

"Old Bai is finally awake? That makes things much easier!"

The speaker was a little girl.

He was wearing an obviously oversized, ill-fitting black robe and stood on a strangely shaped flying machine with a metal frame and array patterns covering it. It was the standard flying machine commonly used by the "Raven" of the Exploration Bureau.

Bai Yuan was still in a daze.

If those two were General Hongshan and Liu Hongyi, then this person in front of me must be Professor Huo.

The next second, a black robe was thrown in his face.

Aircraft and weapons were also left at his feet.

"Put it on quickly."

Liu Hongshan and Liu Hongyi, who were standing nearby, immediately changed their clothes.

Bai Yuan didn't say much and obediently changed into the clothes.

Strangely, once I put it on, my entire field of vision changed.

The whole world has changed.

A scene of carnage—just as later generations would have seen.

The originally cramped house became the compartments formed by connective tissue that we see in later generations.

Then look at your teammates.

There are also obvious signs of distortion.

The two corpses had become a hideous mass of flesh and blood, limp and twisted on the ground, slowly merging into the fleshy ground as if they had always belonged there.

A large patch of bloody flesh membrane was torn from the wall that had just been smashed open.

Looking out through the breach, everything outside was a sea of ​​crimson.

Bai Yuan gasped.

"This is how the same thing?"

"As you can see, this is the truth," Professor Huo said coldly.

He then flew out of the breach.

Where outside is the once idyllic residential area?

The ring-shaped walls were covered with countless nests, and the streets were covered with twisted, blood-red vines.

Deformed little animals ran past my feet.

Many people, who also bore the marks of supernatural transformation, lay sprawled on the ground, motionless.

"Are these people... alright?" Bai Yuan asked worriedly.

"It's nothing," Liu Hongyi said calmly. "It's just that the living area was completely invaded by the Skynet, so I temporarily lost the control of the Heavenly Evolution Stone, and my body became an empty shell."

A broadcast sounded in Baiyuan's heart:
[Phase Two in Progress – Skynet Intrusion.]

[Current intrusion progress: 45.28%]

Upon closer inspection, countless fine golden rays are embedded within the entire flesh and blood structure, intertwining to form a giant net.

From the central waterfall of blood, pale golden tendrils also sprouted, their golden light twinkling, indicating that a transformation was slowly taking place.

"How...did you do that?" Bai Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's a long story. In short, Hongshan found a group of fugitives, and then we used Old Huo's force field to quickly bring them out through the gravity device."

"While Tianyan Stone was concentrating its efforts on the outer sect's examination, it attacked the Exploration Bureau through the pipeline and obtained the equipment."

Although it was just a few simple words, Bai Yuan could sense how thrilling they were, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Liu Hongshan added casually:
"Fortunately, the overall strength of the living area is not very strong. Even the Detective Bureau is just a group of low-level monsters."

"It's clear that the Immortal Ship itself is insufficient in power," Professor Huo said with a deep gaze. "However, it's also possible that the true power lies elsewhere."

At this moment, the points of light in my heart gathered together.

Bai Yuan looked closely and saw another group of people dressed in black robes. They all looked emaciated and many of them had prosthetics. Not to mention that half of them were children.

These are probably the fugitives I mentioned earlier.

It's amazing that they were able to take over the living area with just these elderly, young, sick, and disabled people. I guess Liu Hongshan and the others must have put in a lot of effort.

A woman who was leading the group flew over, cupped her hands, and said, "We have searched all around, but we have not found the entrance to the inner gate."

"Have you searched the pipeline area as well?" Professor Huo frowned.

The woman nodded: "Yes, we have searched according to your suggestion, and even opened the mission history, but found that all records about the inner gate area have been deleted."

Another man added, "There were no cracks or hidden doors at the top leading to another space."

"Inner sect?" Bai Yuan asked in surprise.

Liu Hongyi teased, "What? You still dream of entering the inner sect?"

"of course not!"

Bai Yuan has now regained his senses.

Naturally, there weren't so many fantasies anymore.

“The inner gate is the remaining area of ​​invasion. Secondly, the Heavenly Evolution Stone itself is definitely inside it,” Professor Huo said calmly. “Furthermore, we suspect that the consciousness these people lost still exists within the Heavenly Evolution Stone.”

Liu Hongyi's eyes turned slightly cold: "But the Heavenly Evolution Stone is obviously on guard, completely sealing off the outer gate, making it impossible to find the entrance."

At this moment, Bai Yuan slowly raised his hand.

"Perhaps... I can help..."

Now he finally understands.

The ability he had in the illusion was probably the ability he had to evolve into a new human.

Similar to a source particle phase scanner, it can sense, gather, and emit energy disturbances at the microscopic level, and then reconstruct space and structure through echoes. It can also translate messages like "Tian'er Lake".

This was because he studied and comprehended the principles of Tian'er Lake.

Of course, energy is limited, and so is the range.

However, it should be enough for now.

"I don't know how it evolved."

“That’s not surprising,” Professor Huo said. “This environment is extremely prone to triggering strange phenomena. Perhaps it’s a problem caused by the void, or perhaps it’s a problem with the Heavenly Evolution Stone strategy.”

"And you, perhaps because you have the protection of the Earth Mother, are not heading towards monsterization, but rather towards directed evolution."

Bai Yuan was startled.

At this moment, the microwaves that had cast a wide net returned, allowing him to discover the location of another layer of the immortal ship's structure.

"follow me."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan and the others did not fly upwards.

Instead, it went all the way down to the lowest level of the living area.

Enveloped by Professor Huo's force field, they sped past the centrifugal gravity simulation device that could shred flesh and blood.

Bai Yuan pointed to the bottom layer, which was covered with moss.

Is there any way to blow it up?

Professor Huo tossed him a blank array plate and an array-engraving pen.

"Found in the warehouse."

Bai Yuan understood.

Quickly work with Professor Huo to inscribe array patterns containing explosive power on these array plates, and rapidly arrange them into a precise explosive array.

Afterwards, everyone retreated to the cabins where the escapees had long lived.

Golden tendrils intertwined to seal the entrance.

With a muffled thud, the cabin shook.

When everyone crawled out, they saw a huge hole at the bottom.

Soft light poured out from the depths of the cave entrance.

A rich and pure aura of immortal energy wafted out.

The fugitives who had survived most of their lives here were all deeply shaken as they gazed upon the holy light so close at hand.
"How come the inner sect members are down there?"

"Perhaps it's just to mislead people, which is why they keep calling it the upper level," Professor Huo shrugged. "Besides, the direction of the gravity device can be set, so maybe what we think is the upper level is actually the lower level?"

No matter how unbelievable it was, the facts were right before my eyes.

The group slowly flew in, and what came into view was a near-perfect paradise.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, the spiritual veins resembled a jade belt. Compared to this, what was originally sensed by the outer sect was merely a drop in the ocean.

The pavilions and towers are arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner, with white jade railings and green wood beams. The artificial mountains are rugged, the streams are babbling, and the sacred trees and lingzhi mushrooms grow among them.

They even recreated the scenery of the ancient fairy mountain inside the fairy boat. Although the scale was limited, it was still breathtaking.

Fly closer.

Only then did they realize that there were people sitting there, motionless as if in deep meditation.

From a distance, they resemble statues in a shrine.

The nearest building was a waterside pavilion, its white gauze curtains billowing to reveal an elderly man with white hair sitting cross-legged inside.

Dressed in white, his posture upright, eyes closed, and expression solemn, he seemed to be meditating and seeking enlightenment.

The aura emanating from him was quite terrifying.

Even though Bai Yuan is no longer a child at the Qi Refining stage, he would probably find it difficult to withstand such pressure in his true form. He quickly cupped his hands in a salute.
"Senior...please forgive the disturbance—"

"What are you disturbing?" But Liu Hongshan was already standing next to the senior.

"What are you doing--"

The next moment, Bai Yuan froze.

Liu Hongshan picked up a blood-red object in his hand.

The slender, fleshy thing that emerged from under the old man's snow-white robe was actually a section of umbilical cord.

The old man was completely unaware.

They remained motionless, like clay sculptures.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

It immediately flew to the nearby attic.

Inside, a senior cultivator sat cross-legged, his face aged, a begonia-shaped gold hairpin dangling precariously from his white hair, and a blood-red umbilical cord extending from his body, connecting him to the old man from before.

And this umbilical cord is connected to a much farther place.

One cave after another, one white-haired cultivator after another.

They intertwine to form a massive, terrifying umbilical cord network.

"They're all...dead."

"The powerful beings on the immortal ship..."

There is no such thing as an inner sect.

The fugitives were deathly pale.

The hope I held onto all my life crumbled completely at this moment.

“Don’t overthink it. We’ve worked so hard to get to where we are today. Are we going to let ourselves be discouraged just because we know the truth?” the woman shouted.

Everyone snapped back to their senses and lowered their heads in silence.

Liu Hongshan, holding the umbilical cord in his hand, led the way, flying deeper into the distance.

When this place, which resembled a fairyland, came to an end, there was a huge brain floating in the air, formed by countless umbilical cords.

It was much smaller than the one in the command center in later generations, like an embryo.

Professor Huo reached his hand inside.

These loose umbilical cords seemed to sense something and automatically untied, revealing a Tianyan Stone about the size of a thumb.

The next instant, the threads of the Heavenly Net spread from his fingertips, piercing into his brain, and the light gradually dyed the blood-red brain gold.

[Skynet infiltrating...]

[Current intrusion progress: 50.19%]

The golden light spread to the umbilical cords, and then further afield, to the cold pavilions and towers...

However, when the gold flowed down the umbilical cord into the remains of these connected immortals...

The sudden change.

A pair of eyes, which had been closed for who knows how many years, trembled.

Suddenly opened its eyes.

My vision was completely blank.

The once perfectly still white clothes began to ripple.

Everyone was gathered around the brain; the changes in the distance were too subtle and too quiet for anyone to notice.

Then, those pale and stiff figures stood up and floated out of the cave that resembled a "shrine," their faces expressionless and their bodies stiff and numb.

They drifted silently towards the crowd, like countless snow-white petals...

Until the distance is just right.

At the same time, slowly raise your hand.

Some took out their natal magic treasures from their previous lives, or their hands flashed with spiritual light, and their magic flowed and took shape.

The flashing swords and various spells, like a surging tide, rushed straight towards the backs of the group!

However, the moment these attacks actually touched the black-robed figure, it was as if a mirror shattered, the black figure vanished, and all the attacks went straight for that trembling brain.

Although these faces are all stiff and expressionless.

But actions proved that this was something that could not be allowed to happen.

In a hasty attempt to remedy the situation, some of the "immortals" rushed forward to block the attacks.

Then, several loud booming sounds followed.

Blood and flesh fragments exploded, bang bang bang, hitting in front of me, and slowly sliding down a smooth surface.

The pale figure then realized that before it were mirrors forming countless branching and winding passages, trapping them within.

These snow-white immortals had never seen such a bewitching mirror maze before.

Although one can occasionally catch a glimpse of a black-robed figure flashing by.

His face was twisted into a wicked grin by the strange mirror, and his attacks were like tickling.

But when you try to retaliate, you hit another figure in white, or your own reflection in the mirror.

Or perhaps they were thrown into a confined space by a force field, only to encounter an explosive array and be blasted to the ground.

"very nice!"

Professor Huo's voice echoed through the mirror maze.

"As expected, your cunning methods are truly formidable!"

She was referring to the bizarre realm formed by the combined power of Liu Hongshan and Liu Hongyi—[Hongshan Memorial Park].

As Skynet's power gradually grows stronger, it can finally be deployed here, and its level of influence continues to rise and become stronger as Skynet's invasion progresses.

Even so, how long can a single project trap these "immortal remains" who had cultivation levels of Nascent Soul or even Divine Transformation in life?
A rigid broadcast announcement:
Please do not damage the park's play facilities.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword flashed across the room, splitting the entire mirror maze in two.

The remains of the immortals trapped inside flew out along the crack.

But they ran headlong into an enormous "long snake".

The "long snake" is made up of carriages, which were originally designed to look like cute puppies, kittens, and squirrels, but they have become yellowed, old, and the paint is peeling, making them look somewhat scary.

Sitting in the carriage were all identical, strange little girl dolls with braids and grinning faces.

Blinding light emanated from its enormous eyes, shooting straight at the immortal.

Boom boom boom!
The beam of light exploded on the "immortal's" body, leaving his snow-white robes riddled with holes and charred black.

These "immortals" finally decided to retire.

The umbilical cord on his body was suddenly yanked hard.

Completely caught off guard, I was pulled in one direction by a strong force.

There--

A giant pink mech covered in colorful graffiti is standing steadily in mid-air.

Inside the cockpit was a little girl with a fierce look in her eyes.

Both hands were raised high, clutching something—the mech's hands held all the umbilical cords.

But how could an "immortal" simply surrender?
Sword light flashed, blade light slashed, and lightning, flames, frost and other phenomena exploded on the mechs, but were blocked by force fields, though they were inevitably pierced through.

The shell cracked, and lightning flashed below.

Before the mech exploded, the little girl was ejected.

Meanwhile, these "immortals" were ruthlessly thrown into the "fighting space rats" project.

The cannons turned in unison.

The fugitives maneuvered the cannonballs and bombarded the "immortals" in a dense barrage.

On the way to dodge, there was another series of explosive formations, blasting out a burst of fire.

Having just escaped the "space mouse hunt," they immediately crashed into a series of swooping, exploding "bang bang little spaceships."

Although these forces were not very strong against the "immortal remains," they only caused some damage to the flesh and prevented the creature from focusing on fighting back.

But that's enough to delay things.

[Current intrusion progress: 67.45%]

However, having too many lice can be annoying.

The Heavenly Evolution Stone should be getting anxious too.

Thus, one by one, the umbilical cords were pulled back by some irresistible force.

No one can stop it.

Even though Liu Hongshan reached out and grabbed it.

But that force was immense; if she didn't let go, she would probably be taken away too.

The skin of the once pristine and sacred blessed land seemed to be torn off, and thick, dark red light seeped out, causing pavilions and towers to collapse and turn into layers of piled-up flesh and blood.

They all adhered in the same direction.

The originally scattered "immortal remains" were forcibly dragged together, bones misaligned, flesh squeezed together, and surprisingly combined into a giant that stood tall and upright.

The throbbing brain, along with the Heavenly Evolution Stone, was positioned in the chest area.

Countless arms extended from the flesh and blood, each holding a different magical artifact, gleaming with spiritual light. Compared to the whole, they looked like wriggling hairs, yet they possessed immense power.

The counterattack is about to begin.
