After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

It was the owner of the skeleton that Zhou Yan had seen.

This man, who had been dead for hundreds of years, was frantically walking down the street, knocking on his neighbors' doors, thanks to Zhou Yan's omniscient rewinding.

"My daughter En'er is missing..."

"Uncle Wang, have you seen my En'er?"

"Aunt Zhang, do you know?"

"En'er, En'er..."

"Please help, please help..."

The man knocked on doors from one end of the street to the other. There were many houses on both sides of the street, but no matter how much he knocked, no one answered or came out to help.

The sound of a man banging on the door echoed in the darkness. In this vast city, only the sound of a man's clamor could be heard, creating a terrifyingly empty and desolate atmosphere.

The street entrance happens to be the city gate.

Because it was nighttime, the city gates were closed, and the moonlight shining on them was chillingly cold.

The man ran to the city gate, his head turning incessantly.

"Sir, I... I can't find my child, you..."

The man seemed to be trying to call the officer guarding the gate to help him find someone, but there was no one left inside or outside the city gate; only deathly silence.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The ground suddenly began to shake, and soon the previously closed door began to make dull thuds as it was being hit.

The man who had been searching everywhere was shocked and roared.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Sir, there's an enemy attack!"

The enemy attack hadn't been going on for long when the city gate exploded with a loud bang, and countless demonic beasts—yes, demonic beasts, wolf demons, rabbit demons, dog demons—flooded into the city like a torrent.

But these demonic beasts did not kill or eat people. Instead, they all rushed towards the direction of the Eastern Peak Divine Palace. As they rushed, many of the demonic beasts collapsed before they could even reach the gate of the Eastern Peak Divine Palace. However, because these demonic beasts came too fast and in too many numbers, even though a large number of demonic beasts died on the ground, a great many still rushed into the Eastern Peak Divine Palace.

The man who had just been shouting about an enemy attack had clearly never seen anything like this before. Seeing so many demonic beasts rushing towards the Eastern Peak Divine Palace, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Not long after, the massive horde of monsters began to recede, and the man, who had been terrified out of his wits, struggled to his feet, muttering to himself.

er』}'∨∩～?′〔々℃ swoosh! — swoosh”√:“Enemy attack…”

"Enemy attack..."

"Where is the sir?"

"Why is nobody here...?"

"Why is nobody here...?"

From the moment this man appeared until now, no one else has shown up in the entire Mount Tai Secret Realm. None of the divine soldiers who were originally guarding the secret realm, nor the millions of living people in the city, have emerged from this massive mass of demons breaking through the gate.

The man had no idea what had happened in the city where he had lived for half his life. He could only look around in astonishment, trying to find a few friends he knew to hear their explanations.

However, instead of finding his friend, the gate to the secret royal city collapsed inwards with a whoosh, and from the dust that rose, a goddess six meters tall with exquisite and otherworldly features, exuding no trace of mortal aura, slid in through the gate.

Yes, it slid in.

Zhou Yan and the dumbfounded men below watched as the goddess with a human body and a snake tail slowly emerged from the shadows of the city gate into the sunlight.

The goddess who had just walked in seemed to sense something, and turned her head to meet Zhou Yan's all-knowing gaze.

The goddess looked pleasantly surprised.

"noob?!"

"Come here, let Mommy give you a hug."

……At once

At the entrance to the secret realm.

Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes, and the Vermilion Bird opposite him asked.

"How is it? Is it dangerous inside?"

Zhou Yan pursed his lips.

Danger? 彡

The situation inside is so dangerous it's hard to even describe it.

Nuwa...

Nuwa visited this secret realm, and not in an incarnation like the Old Mother of Lishan, but in her true form.

What is Nuwa doing here?

Furthermore, when Zhou Yan used his omniscience to spy on the man who knocked on the door at night looking for "En'er," he discovered that there was no one in the secret realm.

In this city of a million people, in the secret realm of Mount Tai where gods, immortals, and even the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak reside, only this living person knocking on the door for help remains.

Chapter Nineteen Danger

"There are many problems here. I'll try again."

Zhou Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and then closed his eyes.

Looking around, Zhou Yan arrived at the gate again, pushed it open, and went inside.

Behind the gate was still that square. Taking off from behind this square, Zhou Yan saw the Eastern Peak Divine Palace, piled with countless skeletons, for the second time.

Zhou Yan had been wondering where all these monster skeletons came from, but now he knew.

It was summoned by Nuwa.

Nuwa visited this secret realm of Mount Tai, and she did so after the death of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak.

The condition of the dead in the Dongyue Secret Realm seems to be the same as in Qingqiu. The buildings are not damaged and there are no huge meteorite craters on the ground.

It means the person is gone.

Zhou Yanfei arrived at the front of the Dongyue Divine Palace and stood on high ground to look at the piles of corpses in the squares inside the Dongyue Divine Palace.

These skeletons are all demon bones, numbering in the millions. Occasionally, one can see piles of human bones beneath countless demon bones, but this is extremely rare.

This is a problem.

Zhou Yan landed beside a mountain of bones filled with demon bones and reached under several demon skulls to pull out a human skull.

The skull appears to have cracked open in the head area due to excessive pressure, with several cracks radiating outwards to the palate. The teeth are still there, but some are rotten or have fallen out, likely due to the pressure.

It's clear that the person who possessed this skull had very poor oral health before their death.

In fact, before modern times, humans were long considered to die at the age of 30 to 40. It was normal to marry at 13 and have children at 14, because at that age, you were considered to have lived half your life.

The owner of this skull was only 28 years old, and his teeth were so rotten that he probably couldn't even eat meat anymore.

Zhou Yan stared at the owner of the skull for a while.

A massive amount of information began to flood Zhou Yan's brain.

Zhou Yan saw a plain, unremarkable hill. On its slopes lay a small village. A middle-aged man with half-gray hair, clearly 28 years old but looking like a man nearing fifty in modern times, carried a hoe and walked towards a field near the house.

The 28-year-old man began turning the soil.

Zhou Yan began to look up the old man's family background and the region he lived in.

Something's not right. (Group)

Zhou Yan carefully placed the skull on the ground.

This old man was not a native of the Taishan Secret Realm; he used to live in a small village called Goutoushan in Subei Prefecture.

All five generations were farmers, and he himself was an illiterate ordinary person who only knew how to farm to support himself.

In the rest of his life, Zhou Yan never saw the old man leave Gou Tou Mountain and arrive at the Taishan Secret Realm.

At the end of his life, this 28-year-old man (by the standards of the time) died in his own bed.

So why are the old man's remains among all these piles of monster bones?

Zhou Yan then searched through several other groups of skeletons and found a few human bones, which he examined.

These bones are not from living people in the Taishan Secret Realm; they are the remains of farmers from all over the country, dating back to ancient times.

Since they're not living people from the Taishan Secret Realm...

Zhou Yan looked at the buildings surrounding the platforms where the corpses were placed.

Could it be that something unexpected happened when the Emperor of Mount Tai fell, and these dead people—or rather, their remains—for some inexplicable reason traveled through time and space from their respective graves to this secret realm of Mount Tai...?

Then Nuwa arrived.

A flash of inspiration struck Zhou Yan.

Is it possible that these dead people suffered some accident due to the fall of the Emperor of Mount Tai, and that Nuwa came to the Mount Tai Secret Realm with her own demon beasts to suppress the accident?

Zhou Yan went to other places to look at some human remains and quickly dismissed the idea.

These skeletons did not undergo any changes. There was no accumulation of yin energy, evil energy, or demonic energy, nor did they show any bone growth, such as the growth of arm blades or an increase in bone size.

It's just ordinary human bones. These bones don't look like the remains of an evil creature that could cause much harm.

These corpses are not worthy of Nuwa's intervention to suppress them.

Zhou Yan bypassed the bones that had been silent for thousands of years and headed towards the main hall of a nearby Three Mountains Palace.

When Nuwa first came to this Eastern Peak Divine Palace, she sent large numbers of demonic beasts rushing towards it. Many of these beasts died outside the palace for reasons that Zhou Yan couldn't even discern, and now the palace is filled with the bones of both demonic beasts and humans.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Eastern Peak Divine Palace has probably been the site of a major battle.

Then the problem is coming.

When Nuwa arrived, apart from the man who was lucky enough to escape, the Eastern Peak Emperor and the other Taishan Protectors, along with all the celestial officials, were dead.

What within the Eastern Peak Divine Palace could resist Nuwa?

Judging from the outcome, Nuwa is still alive and seems to be in good condition, and the Eastern Peak Divine Palace was not destroyed.

Does this mean that Nuwa won?

Is it possible that the corpse of the culprit who caused the death of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak and his many generals and officials is inside the Eastern Peak Divine Palace?

Zhou Yan arrived at the gate of the Three Mountains Hall and pushed the door open with both hands.

A draft of air came out from inside the door and hit Zhou Yan's face. Zhou Yan sniffed, but there was no rotten smell. The air in the room seemed to be very clean.

Does it have air exchange channels inside?

The palace gate was completely opened, revealing a typical palace interior with a row of seats on each side, a main seat in the center of the innermost side, and several screens with cranes spreading their wings as decoration.

Of course, any chair in this room could be a national treasure, but these things are not important.

In the center of the Three Mountains Hall sits a Taoist priest dressed in a dark gray robe and wearing a lotus crown.

The Taoist priest placed his hands on his knees while sitting cross-legged, his face calm and natural, his skin delicate and rosy, looking like an enlightened immortal sitting on the ground breathing and increasing his cultivation.

Zhou Yan opened the Taoist's attribute panel.

Name: Guang Chengzi.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Guang Chengzi...

The ancient immortal who bestowed the Peach Blossom Divine Incantation upon the villagers of Peach Blossom Spring on Penglai Island?

Such a true immortal died in the secret realm of Mount Tai?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Yan closed the door.

There seems to be a lot to investigate about Guang Chengzi, but Zhou Yan is a little afraid that if he gets too close to Guang Chengzi, it will turn into something like Nantianmen, where the dead Guang Chengzi suddenly comes back to life and slaps him, this white-faced beast.

Before they notice, I should run away.

This time, Zhou Yan went to another hall called the Five Lakes Hall. He pushed open the door and found that the decorations inside were not much different from those in the Three Mountains Hall.

However, there were no remains of immortals like Guang Chengzi inside, but rather the remains of a human-shaped tiger demon. The remains were kneeling with their heads drooping, their flesh and blood shriveled, resembling a living corpse.

Zhou Yan walked up to the tiger demon's corpse.

Something abnormal has emerged. There's a large hole in the tiger demon's skeleton's chest, with severed blood vessels inside. Zhou Yan, using his omniscience, deduced that someone had pierced the chest and pulled out the heart. Four

Zhou Yan looked down at the tiger demon's hand.
