I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Little Zimo, your strength has improved!"

This good friend, who was already quite talented, has recently risen to an almost meteoric level.

The deserted island had only just reached level eight back then, and now, in such a short time, it has made another big leap. What kind of pace is this?

To put it another way, if Yan Ziming was only at the initial stage of the eighth-order species during the Civilization Cup, then she has now lost that concept.

Yes, it means exactly what it says.

Originally, each level could be further subdivided into several smaller levels to measure how far one was from the next stage, thus distinguishing the strength of individuals.

However, this does not apply to Yan Ziming. She seems to be an anomaly among the eighth-tier cultivators, with an aura as deep and unfathomable as a prison, giving people the illusion that she might break through to the ninth tier at any moment.

However, an illusion is just an illusion; it can never become reality.

In fact, this is all just an illusion. Yan Ziming is definitely still far from the ninth level, and quite a distance at that.

Her current situation can be described as saturation.

Because of her 100% elemental affinity, activating elementalization is equivalent to entering a supercritical state.

In this state, her "quantity" has reached a level that can break through to the ninth rank. If she can further improve her "quality" to the same level, she may even briefly reach the ninth rank.

Of course, this is only in theory.

This process cannot be achieved by relying solely on the standards of quality and quantity; it requires a further transformation, commonly known as the "leaping over the dragon gate" process.

It remains to be seen what kind of transformation this process will bring, but at least there is something to look forward to.

Even if he doesn't reach that level, Yan Ziming still possesses at least near-ninth-tier combat power, making him invincible among his peers. He would only be stronger than Mu Mu at that time, not weaker.

At the very least, it would allow Yan Ziming to accumulate experience when breaking through to the ninth level, reducing the risk of failure.

Most importantly, Yan Ziming felt that she had found a second path, but she didn't know what it was.

Hmm, I don't know what it is.

Perhaps she'll have to figure it out herself!

"Well, it's alright. To be honest, I don't even know what's wrong with me."

Yan Ziming sat up straight, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

"Congratulations! Judging by your speed, you should be advancing to the ninth level in two or three years. Remember to help me share the burden when that happens."

"No, no, no, don't mess with me. You know I hate doing troublesome things the most. I can help out occasionally, but don't ask me to do things like leading troops or handling official duties. I can't do it."

"You're so spineless, look how scared you are." Mo Sheng rolled her eyes at her and gently poked Mu Mu with her foot.

"Why don't you try to persuade her? Once you convince her, you'll be colleagues and have more opportunities to spend time together."

Mu Mu grabbed her delicate ankle and pulled her sharply, dragging Mo Sheng down as well. Then he flipped her over and pinned her to the ground, saying fiercely:

"How dare you say that? What did you promise me in the first place? You were just going to be a figurehead, so why were you so busy?"

"That's nothing! Compared to my workload, you're actually quite fortunate!"

"I don't care, I'm not going to do those jobs. Let whoever needs to do them do them, or I'll quit!"

Mu Mu made no attempt to hide his intention to "run away with the bucket," and Mo Sheng's expression changed drastically: "No way! Senior Yan Shan wouldn't want you to do that!"

"Don't try to intimidate me with Uncle Yan Shan. Just tell me, are you going to have someone take those jobs away or let me leave?"

"Ah—okay, okay! Whatever you say... I'll do this for you, alright?"

Mo Sheng kicked her legs haphazardly and lay down on the cold floor in despair, feeling that her life was utterly bleak.

"That's pretty much it."

"What about persuading Sister Zimo to come in...?"

"Do you think I'd still want to come in after hearing this conversation?" Yan Ziming said expressionlessly.

"Tsk... You bunch of flowers of the motherland are really going too far, you can't even do such a small thing!"

Mo Sheng had a big question in her mind—are young people these days so hard to fool?

She's always taken such good care of them, and they've all turned up their noses!

“Sister Mo Sheng, it’s not that we’re unwilling to do it, we have our own lives too! If we can’t do it, we just can’t do it.”

Ye Qianxue was naturally on Yan Ziming's side, and being a lazy person by nature, she naturally had no such intention.

"Hmph! I knew you guys were useless! Get to work. Didn't you have something to report? Speak now."

Chapter 126 "Production" Team

"...That's roughly what happened."

There was a lot to report, and the story had to start from the time she was taken out of Yong'an City by the mysterious woman. Yan Ziming talked non-stop for almost ten minutes before she finished her report.

Mo Sheng fell into deep thought, and even Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue listened intently.

It turns out that so many unknown things happened beneath the seemingly calm surface.

First, a woman wielding the White Night appeared, then a completely new prehistoric civilization, and then the sky and the Black Calamity, all indicating the severity of the situation.

"what--!"

Suddenly, Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue, with perfect unison, twisted Yan Ziming's waist flesh hard, causing her to bounce up like a fish in pain before falling heavily to the ground.

"So, you're not going to tell us unless we ask? Do you treat me and my dear disciple as outsiders?"

"That's right, that's right! Sister, you should at least have told me something like this happened!"

"How could I treat you all as outsiders? It's just that the situation was a bit complicated back then, and Chiyuki had just gotten into that incident, so I forgot about it after a while, hehe~☆"

Finally, Yan Ziming playfully stuck out her tongue, just like a girl in anime.

"Ugh—" She vomited before she could even hold it in for half a second.

Of course, she couldn't vomit anything, because she was in an elemental state, and even if she vomited, it would be like spitting out lightning.

Abbreviation: Atomic Breath.

Damn it, I guess I'm only suited to be a tough guy. When it comes to being cute, my sister is the best.

Ye Qianxue's views were largely the same as Yan Ziming's, except for slight differences in the first half:

"…Big sister, please give up. You're really not suited to acting cute. What you're good at is the unintentional display of your feminine charm, which is so exciting!"

"Hmm, my good disciple understands very well! But you missed one point—the vulnerability hidden beneath her resolute exterior is also irresistible! I really want to peel off that 'outer layer' and ravage it!"

Mu Mu nodded in agreement, imagining the scene and feeling like her nose was about to bleed.

Yan Ziming felt incredibly ashamed and indignant. Mo Sheng was still here! Couldn't you guys watch your language?!

Are you sure you're talking about me? I have absolutely no recollection of me. I'm not like that at all!

I'm not, I didn't!

"Hey, hey, hey—what nonsense are you spouting! When have I ever acted in the way you're describing?"

"Tsk tsk, don't deny it, I've recorded them all. Not only me, your sister's phone also has quite a few 'documentaries'."

Yan Ziming was horrified!

“Qianxue… tell me what she said isn’t true…” Yan Ziming said, her voice trembling slightly.

"This...that...hehehe..." Ye Qianxue's eyes darted left and right, and finally she laughed out of embarrassment.

"WDF!"

"I still have your view from when you reached the top—"

"OK, put on the brakes—stop driving here, I still have a lot of questions to ask Zimo."

Mo Sheng, who was deep in thought, clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Mu Mu, you should watch your image. You're supposed to be a government official, even if it's just in name only. You can't just drive like that. I'm a high-ranking official in a government department right here. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll invite you in for tea."

#Xue Yunling: "MMP"#

"Sister Zimo, you just said... the 'Black Calamity' is the deity of the Singer Organization, right?"

“That’s right, Si Mo… that is, the Black Calamity herself, she admitted it herself.”

Yan Ziming said with absolute certainty.

“Phew…” Mo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

After figuring out the true identity of the deity, many mysteries can be unraveled and the truth revealed. There is also hope to further enlighten Xue Yunling and make her truly consider this place her home.

Next comes another crucial question: "You said that the two people who stopped you came from a prehistoric civilization that has never existed before, right?"

"I'm not sure about that. They haven't given any hints. This is just my personal opinion, but considering their appearance, names, and purpose, it's pretty much a done deal."

Unfortunately, the most crucial Bai Ye has disappeared and is now buried forever beneath the collapsed mountain.

If the nation's resources were mobilized, it might be possible to find it, but to carry out excavation work in the Himalayas, which is part of the occupied territory, would require sacrifices that China cannot currently accept.

Furthermore, the news of such a major event in the Himalayas has already spread far and wide, with people all over the world rushing to report on it, making it a hot topic.

Leaving aside the United States, which likes to meddle in other countries' internal affairs but has its own endless problems, let's talk about China's neighbor for now.

When the Indians learned of the commotion China had caused in the Himalayas, which they considered their own territory, they were furious, practically jumping for joy. They launched a massive international condemnation of China's actions, echoing the sentiments of Western media and seizing every opportunity to smear China's image.
