Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

"Disciple is fine."

She shook her head and tried to change the subject: "Master, what are your plans next?"

Saint Yang Sword chuckled.

Wu Shang also raised his eyebrows and said, "The little girl's mind tends to linger on the surface."

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.

After a moment, Yang Jian Shengzun suddenly became serious: "Forget it, just miss him if you want, you will have a chance to see him soon anyway."

"W-what?"

Luo Shuangning raised her eyes and stared at him in a daze.

Leng Wenxu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly stopped.

"Something happened in the South Territory, but you don't know yet. Let Uncle Wushang tell you. As your master... you must hone your fishing skills. There is a lot of knowledge involved."

Saint Yang Jian laughed, then restrained his smile and fiddled with the fishing rod seriously. It seemed that he was really planning to use the same spirit he had when he practiced swordsmanship to practice "fishing".

Luo Shuangning raised her eyebrows.

Master seems a little... not so crazy anymore?

The former "Mad Sword" was something that even their two direct disciples could not figure out, but now the Yang Sword Saint seemed to be really attracted to fishing.

Wu Shang shook his head helplessly, and then took Luo Shuangning and walked down the mountain.

"What happened in the Southern Region is indeed tricky."

Luo Shuangning followed him, her mind also fluctuating with Wushang's words: "What exactly is going on?"

"The extraterrestrial magic machines that were sealed during the Xuantian catastrophe seem to be escaping one by one now... As for what these extraterrestrial magic machines are, you probably don't know."

Wushang's old face was a little twisted, because there were some things that he could only accept not long ago.

"Extraterrestrial Magical Machine, what is that?"

Luo Shuangning's expression was equally confused.

Indeed, she didn't know.

Very little of what happened during the Xuantian Catastrophe has been passed down to this day.

The invasion of magical machines from outside the realm brought devastation to the creatures of the Xuantian Realm. Those who were able to survive, even those who once had strong foundations, were all wiped out.

The days after the catastrophe are the most difficult to endure.

Because, in order to survive, the alliance that once shared a common hatred of the enemy has directly fallen apart, and in order to seize the fertile land that can still survive, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood have not stopped piling up and flowing. Naturally, the world today is not so miserable, but it was like that before.

Among the "Seven Sects of the Universal World", half of them rose to prominence after the Xuantian Catastrophe.

Because the huge sect that once occupied this position has disappeared in the war with the magic machinery.

Ten thousand swords and thousands of mountains do not belong to that half.

What happened during the Xuantian Catastrophe must have been left behind in ancient books by our predecessors, but no one paid attention to it.

Because the Xuantian catastrophe is over and a new dawn has come, who would still want to look back on the past?

This seemingly largest sword-cultivating sect with a huge foundation, a large number of people, and many powerful people is actually a pot of loose sand. Everyone has been scrambling to become stronger, and it is still the same now.

Unless something happens, they won't notice.

Wushang brought Luo Shuangning to the library and walked to the deepest part. There was a room filled with paper scrolls and books that had nothing to do with sword practice but had been passed down from a long time ago... In other words, they were "garbage".

What is recorded in it are all insignificant trivialities.

For example, ten thousand years ago, the First Sword Peak recruited a certain number of new disciples in a certain year...it doesn't matter.

Of course, it also records when the Xuantian catastrophe occurred, what happened afterwards, and when the invasion of extraterritorial magic machinery was completely eliminated... This is very important now.

If it weren't for the warnings from Shura Palace, the Lu clan, and even the demon clan, Wanjian Qianshan would not have cared about these useless "garbage".

"It's all here."

Wushang pointed to a dozen or so stacks of ancient books that had been sorted out.

Luo Shuangning reached out her hand and the paper she touched made her feel that these ancient books were already extremely fragile.

"You read it first. Your uncle is not very good at speaking, and so is your master. It might be better for you to read the words left by the predecessors yourself."

Wu Shang smiled and patted her shoulder.

Luo Shuangning hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After Wushang left, Luo Shuangning immediately turned her attention to the piles of ancient books.

"...The unusual celestial phenomena have continued for several months, and it seems that a major change is coming..."

"...At night, the sky was shattered, and countless molten fires fell. The flames were as bright as the end of the world, covering both day and night. This disaster lasted for more than a month. Afterwards, my Wanjian Qianshan escaped the disaster, but I heard from the outside world that countless sects and families were destroyed, and many lives were killed or injured..."

It was quiet, with only the sound of Luo Shuangning flipping papers.

Her expression remained calm, but her eyebrows, which were sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, expressed something different.

"Today, hundreds of thousands of puppet monsters invaded the Sword Burial Mountain Range. The weakest among them was only at the Pigong Realm, while the strongest was at the Fate Wheel Realm. Their intelligence was not inferior to ours at all, and they were like the most elite troops... This is the invasion of enemies from outside the realm..."

"…The strongest people in the world convened a 'Conference on Ancient Questions' to discuss countermeasures…"

"...The Ancient World calls these monsters 'Extraterrestrial Magical Machines'..."

Luo Shuangning took a deep breath.

Closed the ancient book.

Chapter 4: Plan

Extraterrestrial magic machine.

It turned out to be the case.

Luo Shuangning closed her eyes and lowered her eyelashes. Her long eyelashes obscured the look in her eyes. After a long time, when she opened her eyes again, she had regained her clarity.

Yeah, that’s very clear.

"I see. No wonder I always feel uncomfortable with those things..."

She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and murmured softly to herself.

In fact, most of the contents of this ancient book are very obscure. One can doubt whether the author has gone insane, because a lot of the content in the latter part has become...particularly confusing.

There are often meaningless repeated words, the writing is confusing and disorderly, and the pen has lost its strength. It seems that by the end, the writer has been possessed by a demon and is unable to write what a normal person needs to write.

But she still took into her mind all the information she needed to understand.

——Xuantian great calamity.

——Extraterrestrial magic machine.

——After the disaster.

This information made Luo Shuangning fall into silence.

In fact, she had encountered such monsters before. The "Strange Moon King" seemed to be one of the most powerful extraterrestrial magic machines.

In the end, she killed him with the Hanyue Sword.

Luo Shuangning had never heard Hanyue Sword Spirit mention the existence of these monsters from other worlds, even though she had obviously dealt with many of them, and even killed many of them.

She walked slowly towards the door. Wushang was waiting for her outside. He didn't wait long, only three or two hours, then he turned around and saw her stop.

"Uncle Master, I've finished reading it."

"Ah."

Wu Shang sighed, pulled her to sit down, and said earnestly: "These monsters, even I don't know what's going on, but the Shura Palace and the demon tribe are very nervous, so we can't take it lightly."

No one cares about the existence of extraterrestrial magic machines, at least Wan Jian Qian Shan doesn't care at all.

But if they continued to remain silent now, they would be waiting for their own death. Even Wushang himself had temporarily dug out those fragile and rare ancient books from the depths of the library, so as to prevent them from being completely ignorant of the "Extraterrestrial Magical Machine".

Even if one knows these few "details", no one will not feel trembling and nervous.

"I've encountered this before, this extraterrestrial magic machine."

Luo Shuangning pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and the Hanyue Sword hummed silently.

"Hmm? Where did you meet him?"

Wu Shang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this niece of his had already had contact with these monsters... although he didn't know how much she understood.

"Where I got this sword."

She patted the scabbard at her waist, making a crisp sound.

"Since you have dealt with it before, it will be easy to deal with."

He showed a relieved expression.

Luo Shuangning was not too confident. After all, when she faced King Yi Yue, she was badly beaten at the beginning. If it were not for the Han Yue Sword Spirit breaking free from his control and giving her strength, the final victory would not have been hers.

However, the results are good.

So when she thought back on this matter, she naturally wouldn't be too bothered by it.

What she cared about more was the arrangement made by her master... Next, if there was only one important thing, it was that she would succeed the position of Sword Master of the First Sword Peak.

Or, there is something else she needs to do...

"Over the past month or two, the existence of the Extraterritorial Magical Machine and the news of its escape have spread among many of the leading forces. We have discussed it and although many people believe that the Extraterritorial Magical Machine may not cause a disaster to the entire world like it did in the past, it is always better to prepare for a rainy day."

Wushang's light words rang out.

Luo Shuangning had already guessed that she would be away from Wanjian Qianshan for a while.

Moreover, if the master said that he had the opportunity to meet Lu Mu, then it was certainly not a lie. She lowered her eyes to hide the expectation flickering in them.

"…Where should I go?"

Luo Shuangning glanced at the magic sword at her waist and smiled.

……

"Attack Jiyuan?"

Lu Mu raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept across the entire dome of the palace, looking at the elders of Shura Palace, and the Shura Palace Master - of course, as always, he was still the incarnation of Taoism.

The real body of Shura Palace Master rarely leaves that stone chamber.

"The location of the Abyss is quite remote, located in a 'dead zone' on the border of the Central Region. The 'Qinfeng Dynasty' was destroyed due to an Abyss eruption, and all things withered. Therefore, there is nothing in that place, except for the many Abyss exotic beasts."

"Let's start from this less threatening Abyss and slowly remove all the 'dirt' left by the extraterrestrial magic machines."

The elders responded to the words of Shura Palace Master.

This was a temporary plan secretly devised by many powerful forces after a "brief discussion".

The Extraordinary Machine is still alive.

But no one knows when they will launch a second invasion.

Therefore, we might as well take advantage of this time to clean up the abyss of the entire Xuantian Realm.

Originally, not many people knew the origin of Jiyuan. There are wonders in the world. Maybe Jiyuan is just a "creation" of heaven, but it just failed miserably.

But now, after renewing our vigilance against extraterrestrial magic machines, it is not difficult to find out the reason why Jiyuan appeared.

It was done by the extraterrestrial magic machine.

This is a means of "environmental transformation" that dispels all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then allows the demonic energy of the Abyss to spread, creating an extreme environment that can only accommodate the survival of "Abyss monsters".

This process takes a long time, but once the Abyss appears, it will be difficult to completely erase it.

As for these strange beasts from the abyss... our ancestors concluded that they were "beasts used in war."

The magic machines from outside the realm capture the creatures of the Xuantian Realm, and throw them all into the Abyss regardless of their strength, and then create strange beasts in the Abyss. These monsters are huge in number and pose a considerable threat, so they are perfect to be used as cannon fodder for the first round of charge. Moreover, after all, they are made from "materials" locally, which is very convenient.

After figuring this out, Jiyuan's existence was destined not to be allowed to stay.

If they are kept, they will have ready-made food when the extraterrestrial magic machines make a comeback one day. By then, the strange beasts from the Abyss will emerge from these "arsenals"-like Abysses, and they will be the ones to suffer.

Therefore, Jiyuan must be completely wiped out!
