From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Now move this ball to my house, and it will temporarily act as my assistant. Let's see if we can rescue the people inside.

"..."

Mark was speechless. He could only lift the spherical crystal, then asked, "Is he still alive?"

“More special than you, maybe he just looks like a human, but is actually the alien you’re talking about.” Bai Yuekui chuckled, teasing Mark.

mark:"???"

That boomerang hit really unexpectedly!

# Chapter 1166 Your Plans Are a Bit Hasty

Arriving at the center of the village's residential area, where there was a small pond, Mark put down the spherical myelin crystal he was carrying beside the pond, took a breath, and rested, thinking to himself, "This thing is quite heavy?"

"Hey little brother, what's that? Why is there someone inside?"

At this moment, a boy who was about 1.2 meters tall saw Mark and hopped over to him, showing no fear of Mark's Devouring Beast body, and even called Mark "little brother".

Its name is mountain limestone.

Mark merely glanced at the limestone mantle calling him "little brother," not wanting to reply. He immediately shouldered the spherical myelin crystal and prepared to go up the steps beside the pool to Bai Yuekui's house.

"Hey, you're ignoring me? Is this how you treat your older brother?"

Shan Hui was indignant, but not really angry. He jogged a few steps to catch up with Mark and asked curiously, "Tell the boss, is it Boss Bai's secret weapon? Or is it another person who fell from space?"

"Are there people in space?" Mark keenly sensed the information in the limestone's words and finally responded with a question.

"of course."

Shan Shihui is a big mouth and can't keep secrets. "My dad said that Wumen in the village fell from the sky. He's the uncle who can 'walk through walls'."

At the time, the village's radar detected a flying object crashing in the southeast direction of the mainland. They sent people to investigate and found an escape pod from an old-world space station. It was said that the pod belonged to someone from some old-world empire called "La," and that he had awakened his own potential—in the past, he was apparently known as a superhuman…

After the village took him in, many speculated that there might be other survivors or similar beings in space.

Are there survivors on the space station?

Why has the lighthouse never responded to the messages it sent over the years?

Perhaps they were already in dire straits themselves, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the escape pod to the ground...

In a short time.

Mark was lost in thought, but then he remembered his current physical condition as a Devouring Beast, so he put aside all his distractions and focused on moving the spherical crystal in his hand.

They had only just stepped onto the steps when a loud noise came from Bai Yuekui's house, which was located on the mountainside.

immediately.

The stick that Bai Yuekui had brought back last time, about two meters long and as thick as a teacup, suddenly shot out from it and hurtled towards him.

"Danger!"

Mark's pupils dilated, and he immediately dropped the spherical myelin crystal he was carrying. He grabbed a piece of limestone, jumped to a nearby cliff, and embedded his claws into it, narrowly avoiding the stick.

The commotion attracted the attention of nearby villagers.

Bai Yuekui, Xia Dou, Shan Da, and others also rushed over after parking their cars.

After the spherical myeloid rolled to the edge of the pool, the stick also hovered in mid-air, as if it had a life of its own. It fell to the side of the spherical myeloid, circled it nine times, seemingly looking for a breakthrough point, and then smashed it into one side of the sphere.

Ding!

The crisp sound echoed throughout Dragon Bone Village.

A crack appeared on the surface of the marrow crystal, and then the crack continued to expand and spread, like a spherical spider web, finally making a "bang" sound.

An invisible wave of energy stirred the airflow, spreading in a 360-degree arc. Then came a scorching heat that was indescribable to everyone. It could not burn their bodies, but it made their blood and qi surge.

The shattered marrow crystals did not harm anyone; instead, they vaporized and vanished into nothingness under the intense heat.

The stick that had been knocked away trembled and produced a piercing buzzing sound, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

Then, a golden light seemed to shimmer on the shaft of the staff, and five large characters resembling dragon patterns and phoenix seal script appeared—

"Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

The script was incredibly mysterious, unlike any script in human history. It was more like an inscription of abstract rules. Yet, the moment everyone saw those five characters, the abstract information was processed by their respective brains into something they could understand.

Looking again at the person who emerged from the spherical crystal, there was an unknown pattern between his eyebrows, which seemed to resemble the characters for "Ruyi Jingu Bang" (the Ruyi Golden Cudgel). Then, the dragon and phoenix-like pattern gathered at the center of his eyebrows, continuously rotating to the right, and transformed into a spherical transparent crystal object about the size of a fingernail.

immediately.

The man reached out, and the stick fell into his palm, instantly shrinking to the size of an embroidery needle, disappearing into his right ear and merging into one.

"Is this Sun Wukong, who has attained Buddhahood, descending to the mortal realm?"

Shan Da exclaimed in surprise.

In this timeline, humanity is in a post-apocalyptic state due to the Mana ecosystem, but the classic novel "Journey to the West" still exists. Furthermore, the situation in Dragon Bone Village differs from that of the Lighthouse; it is culturally prosperous, and movies are even shown in the center of the village every so often, including old animated films such as "Havoc in Heaven" and "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King."

Everyone in Dragon Bone Village knows Sun Wukong.

only--

Is this really Sun Wukong who became a Buddha?

After attaining Buddhahood, did one directly "evolve" from a monkey into a human?

At this moment, the person opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to reflect the stars in the sky, yet also resembled a blooming lotus. They were crystal clear, and a single golden ray seemed to be able to see the entire world and reflect people's hearts.

Whether facing him directly or with his back to him, he could see those eyes, and all the distracting thoughts in his heart would fall away, leaving only a sense of peace and tranquility.

It is:

The white hairs curl like Mount Sumeru, the dark blue eyes are clear like the four great oceans.

From the light emerges countless splendors, a hundred treasures, solemn and immeasurable in price.

This tranquility did not last long. The crystal between the man's eyebrows, resembling the white hair of Buddha, disappeared, the stars in his eyes faded, the lotus flowers dissipated, and he turned into a normal brownish-black color. However, upon closer inspection, there were still traces of radiance flowing through him, gentle yet full of vitality.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

"An octogenarian?"

Just as Bai Yuekui was about to ask, the man immediately revealed her age, causing a barely perceptible "#" mark to appear between her brows.

"I'm sorry, I was tricked by the macroscopic will of Mana Ecology when I came here. Just now, my body's instincts and my primordial spirit were not fully in sync, so my body had its own thoughts. Please don't mind... My name is Jiang Liu."

Before Bai Yuekui could react, Jiang Liu apologized first and introduced himself.

[It wasn't "Sun Wukong" after all, it was "Tang Sanzang"!]

The other people had this thought in their minds.

Only Bai Yuekui was certain that the person in front of him was neither Sun Wukong nor Tang Sanzang, but a "spirited young man" with a somewhat unreliable mouth and a sense of humor like most people in the village!

However, she was quite curious about the identity of the "outsider" that Master Lai mentioned, and wanted to find out.

“My name is Bai Yuekui, and I’m the person in charge of this Dragon Bone Village.”

Bai Yuekui introduced himself, "If you plan to stay here temporarily, you need to have your body checked first to determine your source potential before we can arrange accommodation and work that you are good at."

“No pain, no gain, I know that principle all too well, but… let’s get straight to the point. Your plan to completely eradicate the Mana ecosystem is feasible, but it’s a bit too hasty.” Jiang Liu glanced back at Mark, who was still in a daze, as if he saw through everything.

# Chapter 1167 Transformation-Level Devouring Beast

The plan to conquer the land.

It utilizes the "immunocompatible" properties of the cranioblasts and their clones, which are conceived from the left brain of the "Mana progenitor" as named by humans, to complete ecological chimerism, thereby entering the vortex, that is, entering the central hub of the Mana ecosystem, and then seeking a solution to counter the Mana ecosystem.

Jiang Liu saw through the essence at a glance.

How did you find out?

Bai Yuekui became wary upon learning that Jiang Liu knew about the "Attacking Blood Plan".

"How should I put it? I've planted an undercover agent within Mana Ecology." Jiang Liu was naturally referring to Zhen Yuanzi—Mana Ecology's macro-level understanding of Bai Yuekui's plan to eliminate the criminals was well known.

The Mana ecosystem, which has replaced more than 90% of Earth's natural ecosystems, is essentially a sacred embryonic spirit that has possessed Earth.

Within this "cycle," the "Mana Primordial Spirit" cannot know the thoughts and ideas of species not conceived by the Mana ecosystem. However, after Bai Yuekui first carried out the "Attacking the Blood Plan," the macroscopic will of the Mana ecosystem had already learned of its thoughts.

The same plan can be executed multiple times to deal with enemies among humanity.

However, dealing with the Mana ecosystem is equivalent to fighting against the unnatural ecosystem of the entire planet. Moreover, this "holy embryo" possesses a will from a higher dimension, and trying to carry out the same plan against it a second time is tantamount to walking into a trap.

Mark and Lu Sheng have different experiences and memories, which leads to different wills. They are the same person, but their thoughts and ideas are different, making them a completely new individual.

Even so, his will, or rather his mind, is still far from being able to escape the macro-level influence of Mana Ecology.

And what is Mark's, or rather, what is the true identity of the craniocerebral being?

From Jiang Liu's perspective, it can be summed up in two words:

Beacon.

Let’s make a simple analogy:

Just as humans design computer games, which require programming and modeling, the Mana ecosystem is a macroscopic ecological program edited by a higher-dimensional being, while the various Devouring Beasts are the initial NPC models, acting only according to their instincts towards the source of life.

However, the real world is far more complex than computer programs, and it's impossible for it to be as ideal as the game data settings.

therefore.

The higher dimensions need to first replace Earth's original natural ecology with the Mana ecology, and then cultivate NPCs, namely Devouring Beasts, so that they can rely on their instinct to pursue life essence to seize the life essence of Earth's creatures, and then transfer it to the central hub of the Mana ecology, thereby completing the evolution.

Genesis, metamorphosis, monarch...

Among them, the pan-generative and metamorphic types of Devouring Beasts are relatively common on the continent, while the King-level Devouring Beasts are not numerous.

But Jiang Liu knew that the King was not the pinnacle of the Devouring Beasts—

"An undercover agent?"

Bai Yuekui raised an eyebrow.

"Above the King level, there is another level for Devouring Beasts, called 'Avatar'."
