Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe

Thunder roared across the sky, its rumble seemingly tearing a giant gaping hole in the void, as countless crimson lightning bolts danced like silver snakes, slicing through the air.

"Snap!"

A crack several tens of feet wide appeared in the ground, and the pitch-black opening seemed to mercilessly swallow everything around it.

The deep, muffled sound from the deepest part was irritating.

It was as if a towering god or demon was walking, or as if countless heavenly soldiers and demons were roaring and howling, their cries echoing through the cracks.

"Boom!"

Endless giant beasts were fleeing, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be mutated rats the size of hyenas.

They surged in from afar like a torrent, their eyes flashing with a fierce, emerald-green light.

There was also a monster shaped like a giant tiger, whose creatures had mutated and roared in, their mournful cries piercing the sky.

These things were ugly and creepy, and under the flash of lightning they looked even more ferocious, like demons from hell.

Gu Yuan stood still, watching everything. Fortunately, the direction of those demonic beasts was not this way.

However, dozens of mutated rats still rushed over, and the sharp teeth could be clearly heard tearing through clothing with a rustling sound.

"噗噗"

Without much hesitation, he smashed them into a pulp. With Gu Yuan's terrifying arm strength and grip, he could easily crush them to death.

Just then, a roar came from the depths of the earth again, much clearer and much stronger than before.

The deafening roar shook the entire world, and the people inside the wooden house let out mournful howls, as if they were terrified.

"Splash!"

A long river spewed forth from a dark underground fissure.

This is a great yellow river, its surging waves crashing against the sky and reaching for the heavens.

The stench of corpses and the smell of death were overwhelming, even more ferocious than a mass grave, and the eerie atmosphere seemed to be filled with the wailing and howling of vengeful ghosts.

"boom!"

Crimson lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the heavens.

Gu Yuan could see more clearly now. In the yellow river, there were white bones and limbs flowing and colliding with each other, making a clanging sound like iron swords clashing against each other. The terrifying corpse aura was very much like the legendary River Styx!

Gu Yuan was forced back dozens of meters as the yellow river surged across the plain, engulfing everything around it.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, though he couldn't confirm what it was.

But one thing is certain: this is a river of corpses, formed entirely by the convergence of corpses and their fluids, and it reeks of a foul stench.

Meanwhile, at a distance of two kilometers, someone was watching everything through binoculars.

"It really happened. Our colleagues at the earthquake bureau were right. The source of the unrest was indeed here."

This was a tall and imposing middle-aged man. His deep eyes saw everything through the binoculars, and his expression changed drastically, with his lips twitching.

"The drones the general dispatched have completely malfunctioned, affected by an unknown magnetic field. Should we send a team to investigate?"

At this moment, a captain walked over and reported everything with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Let's wait and see. We are only responsible for inspection and reporting. Everything else has to wait for our colleagues from the Special Affairs Bureau to take over. These are not things we can handle."

The general let out a helpless sigh.

As a seasoned veteran, he could destroy all of the enemy's manpower on the battlefield, but... he could only show helplessness in the face of such a situation.

We dare not use firearms casually, for fear of triggering a chain reaction and bringing about annihilation.

Just then, the yellow river of corpses in the distance suddenly became violent.

The surrounding area was filled with a torrential downpour of corpses, and large amounts of foul-smelling yellow liquid fell down.

Dozens of mutated rats that accidentally came into contact with the fluid were corroded until not a trace remained, which shows how terrifying the corpse fluid was.

Gu Yuan stepped back from the area where the raindrops were falling, his eyes coldly fixed on the front. He keenly sensed that something seemed to be emerging from that dark crack.

"Roar roar roar!"

The roar shook the heavens and the earth. The river of corpses surged with towering waves that shattered the sky with boundless terror. The malevolent energy mixed with the immense corpse energy erupted, and even the crimson lightning could not defeat it.

Just then, Gu Yuan noticed a pair of eyes watching him from the shadows, eyes that seemed cold and malevolent.

"What the hell is that?!"

Gu Yuan shouted angrily.

"You lowly and weak creature, why do you not kneel before me? Aren't you afraid that I will tear you apart, skin you, and refine your soul?"

A dull rumble resounded, like muffled thunder, and even the River of Corpses shook.

A colossal creature slowly emerged from the yellowish corpse water, revealing its true form. It was five or six meters tall, with a rat's head and a human body, its face ferocious and terrifying.

Behind him came a massive army of the dead, their armor gleaming coldly, and they were countless.

"Hmm, this place is truly rich in spiritual energy. It's as if a weak planet has given birth to a powerful being like you."

"I'll treat you to a meal today; it's been a long time since I've tasted fresh blood."

The enormous creature opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp, yellowish fangs that exuded an imposing aura.

"How arrogant! I thought you were someone important, but you're just a rat that's become a monster. It's just like the rumors say."

Gu Yuan wasn't too afraid and took out the Chaos Star Tree, letting it float above his head, shimmering with dazzling light and dispelling the darkness.

"You damned ant, how dare you call me a cunning rat! Unforgivable!"

The enormous creature stood in the river of corpses, roaring at the one in front of it, its voice booming.

"What a short-sighted person!"

Gu Yuan remained calm and composed, but this only drove the monster in front of him more and more crazy.

The general and his entourage, who were in the distance, saw all of this and their faces turned extremely grim.

"Quickly allocate manpower to prepare the nuclear forces; we absolutely cannot let these otherworldly creatures escape!"

This is an endless army of the undead.

Their appearance far exceeded the understanding of everyone present, who found it incredible. Their throats were dry, and their saliva had been completely swallowed.

These may be legendary undead creatures, possessing immortal bodies.

At the same time, the speed is very fast, and a single leap can cover tens of meters, which is far beyond what humans can do.

Once these murderers escape to the city, they will cause a bloody massacre.

Moreover, the physical structure of the army of the dead is extremely terrifying.

Ordinary firearms, such as pistol bullets, would likely have difficulty penetrating it; perhaps a sniper rifle or a grenade could cause some damage.

But no one was sure about any of this, since they were dealing with the undead.

They are already dead creatures; it's unknown whether they can be killed again.

Everyone's faces were extremely grim; without a doubt, this was the most serious invasion since the beginning of the anomaly.

It was no longer an anomaly or a rampant growth of plants, but a real invading army.

"General, what should we do? I'm afraid even our colleagues at the Special Affairs Bureau are helpless in this situation."

The person above looked anxious; they needed to make a decisive decision to prevent the situation from escalating further.

They possess nuclear weapon launchers and have the authority to take appropriate measures in an emergency.

However, the use of such weapons would be a major disaster for the surrounding areas.

Everything may cease to exist, including millions of Chinese people.

But if we don't do this, even more people will die when the undead army breaks out.

"Do not use nuclear weapons until the last moment. I will personally lead a team to investigate the situation. If I am killed in battle... then launch nuclear weapons. This way, we can give the people an explanation."

The general's face hardened as he prepared to lead a team armed with the most advanced firearms to fight the undead army. If they could effectively annihilate them, they could avoid the need for nuclear weapons.

If not, devastating weapons will be the last hope.

Just as they were setting off, the captain ran up to them, "General, wait a minute! There seems to be a person standing near the River of Corpses!"

"What? Are you a colleague from the Special Affairs Bureau?"

The general's eyes gleamed, and he took the binoculars to examine the object.

They spotted Gu Yuan.

Previously, everyone's attention was focused on that enormous creature, and they had overlooked it, only that they did not yet know the former's specific identity.

"Just what kind of entity is the General's Special Bureau? They... actually dare to face terrifying creatures alone."

The captain and the others looked surprised. They did not have the authority to know the identities of these people; they had only heard about them from the general and were very curious.

"Anyway, it's no longer a secret, and I don't know much about them."

"All I know is that the Special Bureau was established before the founding of the country, and it is personally directed and managed by the emperor. Very few people know this, and its members are almost invisible. It was only recently, after the anomaly occurred, that I gained the authority to communicate with them."

The general explained in detail, and then added...

"Perhaps they discovered the signs of the anomaly much earlier, but they kept the news under wraps until now when it has fully erupted."

Although no one had received a definite answer, everyone felt a strange sense of respect for the figure standing in the distance.
