The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

"Li Shuangyan, it's been a long time."

Chen Geng's eyes shone brightly, as if illuminating Li Shuangyan's future at that moment.

The two sides were talking across several floors, but it was no different from being face-to-face.

This scene seemed familiar; Yang Mei, the patriarch, had used this trick to communicate with them before, and now Chen Geng had learned it. His learning ability is truly remarkable.

"What you just did..."

She looked at the fragments on the ground. What was originally a virtual object had now been torn apart by Chen Geng and turned into a tangible, real substance.

"Isn't this something from a novel?"

"It's just a system."

Chen Geng glanced at the object on the ground, "But I prefer to understand it as another kind of life, a creature from another world."

Earth is now ascending to a higher dimension, and some things that seem absurd will soon become reality.

The system is just the first to make contact with Earth; many more worlds will come into contact with Earth in the future.

"Do you still want the reward?"

Chen Geng glanced at the system, rummaged through it, and then pulled out a map.

This map and raid instance are also virtual, but in Chen Geng's hands, they have been transformed into a tangible substance.

You can vaguely see some words and patterns on it.

Upon first encountering it, Chen Geng couldn't understand the text, but he could understand the image; it seemed to be a treasure map.

Thank you.

Li Shuangyan said with sincere gratitude, "Please take this travel permit for Fangcun Mountain."

It's already incredibly fortunate that her century-long cultivation wasn't deducted, and she no longer has to worry about blind dates.

"You...you're the person she likes?"

Suddenly, the young man on the sofa stood up. He stared intently at Chen Geng, so much so that he ignored the fact that what Chen Geng was standing on outside the door was not tile, but grass.

"When did you arrive? What methods did you use on my aunt just now?"

Li Shuangyan's cousin also rushed to the door immediately, because she was afraid that someone would come and ruin her family's good time.

  

If she could latch onto Li Shuangyan's coattails, she could also become younger, looking like Li Shuangyan's parents, only in her thirties.

Who doesn't want to live forever? Li Shuangyan is a powerful figure.

"What year were you born? What kind of talk is it to open someone else's door instead of going home for the New Year?"

She abruptly slammed the door shut, simultaneously berating Li Shuangyan, "This man doesn't go home to take care of his own parents for the New Year, but instead runs off to someone else's house. Who does he think he is to you?"

"Listen to me, a man who has no sense of responsibility like that is no good. Look at my son, he's different. He's sensible and polite, and apart from earning less, he has all the good qualities."

By pulling one down while stepping on another, wouldn't Li Shuangyan's cousin be trapped?

But the next second, the closed door suddenly disappeared, and Chen Geng was still standing there, staring at the family.

This is a bit fantastical. As everyone's voices gradually faded, could this person also be someone who has transcended mythology?

Chen Geng frowned and glanced at them. With just one look, all those who had spoken earlier broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed to the ground without even realizing it.

He asked Li Shuangyan with displeasure, "Your relative?"

"He's my relative."

Li Shuangyan sighed and exhaled, refusing to look at the embarrassing state of her relatives:

"Please excuse me, Brother Chen. I only had a little time during the New Year holiday and finally came back to visit my parents and help them take care of their health, but I never expected something like this to happen."

Every year when she comes back, she gives her parents medicinal pills to nourish their bodies; otherwise, the two elders wouldn't look so young.

Don't be fooled by the fact that her relatives are all in their seventies or eighties; they are actually of the same generation as her parents.

"You're just too easy to talk to."

Chen Geng sincerely advised, "They're just ordinary people. You should make an example of them. Kill one and no one will dare to pressure you anymore. Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?"

Li Shuangyan is very patient; if it were someone with his temper, these people would have died countless times over.

"How could you... have such a thought?"

Li Shuangyan stared at Chen Geng with a strange look: "Everyone's life is precious. Do you mean that after you start cultivating, you're going to turn yourself into a stone?"

"If you have to solve everything by killing, then in the end everyone will fear you, and you will have no true friends."

She is quite different; she is one of the few people who points out Chen Geng's mistakes.

Chen Geng was slightly taken aback, then amused by this viewpoint: "That's a quality you should have when everything is stable, a quality you should only have after you've become powerful."

"Instead of having nothing now, being too weak to even protect oneself, and still talking about mercy."

If he had been kind, he wouldn't have been bullied by so many people when he was a child.

If he is merciful, Huang Can will continue to oppress them.

If he were merciful, the Möbius Project would not have selected him.

If he were merciful, he would have been devoured by those cunning old devils of the prehistoric world long ago, leaving not even bones behind.

Li Shuangyan could hear the harsh sarcasm in those words.

She didn't refute him, but stared into Chen Geng's eyes.

"You must have suffered a lot of injustices. I've seen eyes like that on yours before. Because of your upbringing, you're filled with distrust of everything. Maybe you could try trusting others..."

Chen Geng subconsciously opened his gaze, and the spatial aura dissipated, leaving Li Shuangyan with only a door.

Li Shuangyan sighed inwardly. The times produced many people like Chen Geng, but she believed that as long as she became strong enough, she would be able to change the future of the world.

And she... has that hope.

"This woman is amazing."

Downstairs, Chen Geng walked to the glass door of a shop that was closed at night and stared at his reflection.

Can his eyes really see that much?

It seems we really need to cover it up from now on.

Chen Geng thought for a moment, then took out a piece of precious silk from his pocket.

The Chaos Light Treasure Silk—Although the Chaos Light Ancestor is dead, the Great Dao still exists, so this thing is still useful.

He gently covered his face, concealing his eyes and expression.

If he were an ordinary person, his expression and eyes would reveal something, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

But he is not an ordinary person; his identity and situation are special, and he must conceal himself.

An axe can block the prying thoughts of those with great supernatural powers, but it cannot block the naked eye of ordinary people.

Chen Geng then noticed the travel permit in his hand.

Is this a guide to Fangcun Mountain?

The most famous Fangcun Mountain in his memory was naturally only one, located in Xiniu Hezhou, which is a myth from Journey to the West.

But since this is something produced by a system, it may not be the real Fangcun Mountain. However, a great master's thought can lead to the same goal, so it might also have an effect in the real world.

Chen Geng plans to temporarily postpone his trip to the Lich Mythology and go to the Journey to the West Mythology first, since he has wanted to go there for a long time.

He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible, at least to complete the Golden Crow Avenue within the limited time.

In this way, a large amount of contribution points are needed to cultivate and comprehend the Dao using "merit".

But where do contribution points come from? Actually, Zhuque had already given Chen Geng the answer from the beginning: he needed to learn more "supernatural powers".

The supernatural powers of the future will all be perfected versions of the various Great Daos, which will be of great help and inspiration to the quasi-innate saints in the prehistoric world who have not yet attained the Dao.

Once they attain enlightenment, they will surely receive a great share of the merit.

The master of Fangcun Mountain is Bodhi Patriarch, who possesses the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends and the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Dippers. Moreover, he is the only great master in Chen Geng's memory who is willing to teach even ordinary people.

He understands the mythology of Journey to the West, or more accurately, the mythology of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods from textbooks.

Why the Spring and Autumn Period and not the Tang Dynasty?

Because the textbook contains a complete record of the information about time travelers during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, it mentions that the earth shook violently, ghosts howled and wolves roared, and a time traveler from Earth reported that stones in the Eastern Continent had turned into monkeys.
