The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

The Merfolk's legacy ruins were built by the "Prophet," and the triangular crystal cone was the core of the Ark that the "Prophet" placed inside. However, he—Gu Ran—possesses the highest authority over the triangular crystal cone, or more precisely, the highest authority over the Ark core. The method of verification is through DNA testing via blood.

It's hard not to make certain connections.

"The more I know, the more I feel like I'm in a fog," Gu Ran murmured.

The light screen in front of Gu Ran gradually dimmed, but then a piece of text appeared.

"I'm sure you've already guessed it. This is a video I 'shot' for myself, to leave for... the person who can obtain the highest level of access to the Ark's core."

"You must be curious about our relationship, right? I really want to tell you, and even guide you on how to do it. Unfortunately, I can't, because of the limitations of the world's rules, and because only you yourselves will know how to do it and find that sliver of a chance to break the deadlock."

When the text disappeared, Gu Ran felt he had completely mastered the triangular crystal cone, and at the same time, he also controlled the entire Dragon Gate City through the triangular crystal cone.

When Gu Ran finally gained complete control of Lungmen City, he understood why Lilith and her demon army had appeared.

Because beneath Dragon Gate City lies a passage connecting to the abyss!

The purpose of this ruin is not only to bury the mobile city of Lungmen underground, but also to seal and block this abyss passage.

But now, with the rise of Lungmen City, the passage that was previously blocked by Lungmen City has been exposed, becoming a passage for demons to advance into the human world!

"This black mist... is rather troublesome."

Gu Ran thought for a moment and tried to manipulate the things in Longmen City using the triangular crystal cone.

To his surprise, he could actually control it!

In no time, a simple large fan was made.

157. Cheng Caimeng: I won the bet! 4.1k

As it turns out, the core of the Ark was indeed resilient, and even after thousands of years, it still maintained control over the mobile city.

This mobile city truly lives up to the technological essence of Canglong City hundreds of years ago, embodying the "tyrant's" hard work. Even after being buried underground for hundreds of years, it can still function.

The triangular crystal cone, as the core of the original Ark, not only served as the energy center but also as the intelligent heart. Therefore, assembling multiple large fans was no problem at all, and the assembly was completed in a short time.

A giant, windmill-like fan stood in Lungmen City. As the blades moved, hurricane-like gusts of wind were formed, blowing away the black mist that shrouded Lungmen City.

Lilith herself probably never imagined that there would be such a way to deal with her Abyssal Mist.

In her mind, whatever Gu Ran wanted to do, she could cause him some trouble and delay the time it took for him to achieve his goal.

Moreover, the abyssal demonic mist has a corrosive effect on spiritual energy and power. If you stay inside for too long, your combat power will gradually weaken or even be lost.

If we want to remove this abyssal demonic mist, either we need to move that ancient city away, or an S-rank wind-type ability user can use their ability to blow the black mist away.

However, she did not expect that Gu Ran's telekinetic abilities would make it impossible for him to lose his way in the fog.

Gu Ran's goal was to find and control the core of Dragon Gate City, which would allow him to temporarily assemble a giant fan to blow away the annoying abyssal demonic mist.

The entire process profoundly embodies the meaning of the phrase "Sir, times have changed."

After the thick black fog was blown away by the hurricane, the original appearance of Longmen City was revealed.

Gu Ran glanced around and found that all the members of those scientific expedition teams were dead, and they seemed to be killing each other, as if they were having a nightmare and could not distinguish friend from foe.

"So this black mist has this effect." Gu Ran frowned slightly.

He used his mental power to form a large hand, grabbing Xue Xiling and Wu Wang respectively.

Gu Ran rushed towards Canglong City.

"Lilith's target seems to be Azure Dragon City, but I don't know what her purpose is. The Abyss and the human world are isolated from each other. Even if there is such a passage, as long as humans send powerful people to destroy this space, it can be destroyed. At that time, let alone ruling and conquering the human world, it will be difficult for her to even return to the Abyss."

Gu Ran was thinking as he ran.

Because of his telekinesis, he can create a "telekinetic carpet" in front of him while running, allowing him to traverse various terrains as if they were flat ground, and even run through the air.

Although it wasn't as convenient as using spatial abilities to open a portal, his speed was still quite fast thanks to his physical abilities.

Before long, Gu Ran saw the outline of Canglong City.

The Azure Dragon City at this time was very different from when Gu Ran first saw it.

Outside the city, cannon fire roared, and a blue dragon was circling and dancing above the city of Canglong, with a faint energy shield seemingly protecting the inner city.

The slums facing the demon legion had all their residents relocated, and most of the slums had been destroyed by artillery fire, leaving only ruins as far as the eye could see.

"Flame Legion! Attack! Slaughter all humans!" A sphere-like demon with two bat wings roared loudly in the sky, its voice disproportionate to its size.

Fireballs hovered in the air, hurtling towards the human slums. A massive fire instantly erupted in the slums, and everything in the slums, flammable and non-flammable, became scorching hot, flames rising everywhere.

Some fireballs swept across the slums, rushed to the Dragonblood River, crossed it, and continued towards the inner city.

Because Gu Ran's triangular crystal cone absorbed all the special properties of the Dragon Blood River, the Dragon Blood River no longer has the "no-fly" ability, so the fireballs easily flew over the Dragon Blood River.

However, as these fireballs flew past, the once quiet Dragonblood River suddenly exploded, sending up a shower of water.

Water and fire mingled, instantly creating a cloud of mist.

The flying fireball paused, and then, in the next moment, a volley of shotgun shells from the opposite bank bombarded it.

The shotgun shells and fireballs collided, creating a spectacular fireworks display.

However, the fireworks were extremely dangerous; all the houses and buildings around the area that were touched by the sparks burst into flames instantly.

The same was true on other battlefields; the Abyss Demons seemed in no hurry to attack the inner city of Azure Dragon City, but instead approached it step by step from the outside.

The slums were completely flattened by them; flames, behemoths, and the destruction of all buildings.

Strangely, Canglong City didn't seem to retaliate much; at least in the slums, there weren't many deployments, they just evacuated their people.

Are we going to deploy all our countermeasures in the inner city?

The city's defensive cannons don't seem to be activated either.

Standing high in the distance, Gu Ran looked down at the battlefield, making a mental assessment.

The city defense cannon is the most advanced war weapon of modern Star Stone Technology. When it has accumulated enough energy, even a martial arts master would be seriously injured if hit head-on.

"Why is Azure Dragon City adopting a defensive posture? If it were just Lilith's demon army, they wouldn't be so helpless, would they?"

"Is this a scheme by the Azure Dragon City, or has something happened in the city?"

Gu Ran suddenly thought of the old man Xue Yingsong.

"No way, did it crash?"

"If that's the case, then I'll have to look down on you, you old fox."

Xue Yingsong was doing cleaning work at Lanxin University, but the targets of the cleaning weren't corn or potatoes, so they would definitely find a way to retaliate.

Although Gu Ran believed that Xue Yingsong had an absolute advantage at Lanxin University, it was hard to guarantee that the counterattacks from those forces would be beyond expectations and cause Xue Yingsong to suffer a setback.

If Xue Yingsong really gets into trouble because of those guys' counterattack, then things will get really interesting.

"But is this the only main attack direction for the demon legion? Where is Lilith?"

Azure Dragon City is very large, so even though the demon legion is numerous, they can only attack one side and cannot achieve the effect of besieging the city.

Gu Ran observed for a moment and realized that perhaps because he had arrived too quickly, neither the Demon Legion nor Azure Dragon City had yet deployed their top experts.

Although the demon legion appeared aggressive and even destroyed the slums beyond recognition, that was all it could do. In fact, because Azure Dragon City relocated the people from the slums, it didn't kill many people.

However, the situation soon changed.

"Hmph, is the mighty Azure Dragon City now deserted?" a demon, flying in the air with his chin held high and an arrogant expression, said.

“I am the arrogant apostle under General Lilith of the Abyss. We have come from afar not to fight a meaningless war with humans. If Azure Dragon City agrees to a small condition, we will withdraw our troops and cease our attack on Azure Dragon City. Otherwise... Biggs, show the insignificant humans what you're made of.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a huge demon strode with earth-shattering steps, stepping into the slums and leaving deep pits with each step, until it reached the Dragonblood River, then stepped across it and stood on the edge of the inner city.

Just then, countless shells bombarded the enormous demon.

The enormous demon grinned, its gaping maw seemingly bottomless, and in an instant, it opened its mouth several times larger, swallowing all the shells that were being bombarded at it.

The colossal demon burped: "I am the Gluttonous Apostle under General Lilith... burp..."

Just then, a white light suddenly shone from the central tower of the inner city in the distance.

The white light was brighter than the sun in the sky, and it shot towards the Apostle of Gluttony!

City defense cannon!

Gu Ran recognized him instantly.

The layout of the defensive cannons in Canglong City and Saint Yor City is significantly different. Saint Yor City will set up defensive cannons on the edge of the inner city to prevent the beast tide from impacting the inner city.

Canglong City, on the other hand, has set up its defensive cannons in the central hub of the inner city. This is because Canglong City can prevent the beast tide from impacting the inner city even without using the defensive cannons. The central hub of the inner city is set up to deal with other enemies that invade the inner city.

Therefore, the city defense cannons of Canglong City were designed to bombard powerful enemies, and their beams were noticeably more condensed and smaller.

The energy beam from the city defense cannon traveled at the speed of light, so it unsurprisingly struck the Gluttonous Apostle.

The energy beam, as thick as several people could hug, ripped a large hole in the Gluttony Apostle's stomach, revealing a deep darkness that seemed to belong to another dimension.

“Ouch…” the Gluttony Apostle groaned.

Although the Gluttony Apostle appeared to be seriously injured, the Pride Apostle seemed completely unconcerned, only showing a hint of surprise at the power of the human city's defensive cannons, as if he was surprised that human weapons of war had reached such a level.

But that was all; he had no other worries.

"I'm hungry...I want to eat more!"

The Gluttonous Apostle, who had previously appeared docile and simple, suddenly turned ferocious. He grabbed whatever was nearby and stuffed it into his mouth.
