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

"After falling from the Jade Pool, the Magpie Bridge Fairy and the female immortals of the Jade Pool died. However, as a true immortal, the Magpie Bridge Fairy was not completely dead. He wanted to save the Weaver Girl and wanted her to live. With his last breath, the Magpie Bridge Fairy survived."

"Three hundred years ago, we came to Yaochi and opened the temple where the Magpie Bridge Fairy resided. The moment the Magpie Bridge Fairy emerged, she realized that the Weaver Girl was dead..."

Lin'an's expression was strange.

"Then he suffered a mental breakdown, which caused the Magpie Bridge in the sky to collapse, and subsequently the pillars of heaven to shake?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded.

"Indeed, during this time, the Mystic Maiden, Lu Wu, and the Central Dipper Star Lord all tried to stop it, but faced with the collapse of the Magpie Bridge, Lu Wu's death, and the death of the Central Dipper Star Lord, only I was left seriously injured and needed to recuperate outside the Peach Garden."

Lin'an laughed as if in a fit of anger.

"So...we humans have suffered for three hundred years, lost tens of billions of people, and now live in despair and pain every day. All of this was caused by a bird-licking bird who saw his goddess die and had a mental breakdown!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said indifferently.

"This is just a process. What the world is experiencing now is not the result, but a process."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Zhou Yan and Little Yama, and said meaningfully, "Three."

"Nuwa probably wanted you to stop this process..."

Zhou Yan and Little Yama's expressions changed drastically.

Lu Wu was resurrected by Nuwa, and the Plain Cloud Banner was given to Lu Wu by Nuwa. If the Heavenly Pillar is tilted, it is because of Yaochi...

And then there's the fact that I've come to this future...

So, if you go back to your own time 300 years ago later, you can stop the Magpie Bridge Fairy from going crazy?

Was all of this planned by Nuwa?

"Process, result... what are you talking about?"

Lin Anru looked puzzled. From the moment Zhou Yan appeared, she felt something was wrong. Zhou Yan wasn't that strong, and he didn't know what happened three hundred years ago.

Now, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden speaks of a process, referring to Nuwa.

As one of the strongest awakeners of this generation, Lin Anru felt right now that she was excluded from an information circle. People outside this information circle couldn't understand what others were saying.

“Young lady, sometimes knowing too much isn’t a good thing. I can tell you the whole truth, but from the very first moment you know…”

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's face was full of amusement.

"You will die..."

Lin'an's face was deep and somber.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden landed from her suspended state, then slowly got up and walked into the Peach Garden. After a while, she took a peach from the garden that was about half the size of a human head.

"This is the last peach."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden threw the peaches of immortality at Zhou Yan and Little Yama.

The peaches transformed into shooting stars, carrying a rich fruity fragrance that Zhou Yan and his companions had never smelled before. They flew from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to Zhou Yan and Little Yama, where they hovered motionless.

Zhou Yan, the Little Yama, couldn't help but swallow hard at this moment.

These peaches smell strangely fragrant; I wonder what they taste like.

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden laughed."

“I know where you come from and what you want to do. You are too weak right now. This peach can increase a person’s cultivation by three thousand years. You can each eat half of it and get through the period of weakness.”

Zhou Yan accepted the peach. The peach had a smooth surface without a single fuzz, and it felt very nice to the touch.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's lips moved a few times before she spoke again.

"Bai Ze, when you marry Lu Wu one day, don't forget Xuan Nu..."

Zhou Yan looked up, puzzled, at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden sat back in her original position, then closed her eyes to rest, and said no more.

Little Yama leaned closer and whispered.

"What did the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden call you the first time she saw you?"

Zhou Yan said in a low voice.

"White-haired beast..."

Little Yama said jokingly.

"This isn't an insult; it's more likely just friendly banter. You actually have a pretty good relationship with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Zhou Yan: "..."

It seems that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did indeed say that she and the other woman shared gossip.

He's cunning and funny...

……

After half an hour.

Zhou Yan, Little Yama, and Lin Anru walked from the Yaochi Mountain Gate to the icy staircase created by Lin Anru.

Halfway up the stairs, with his back to Zhou Yan, Lin Anru, the Little Yama King, suddenly spoke.

"Did you come from the past?"

Zhou Yan, who was holding the peaches, and Little Yama both changed color.

Lin An didn't turn around, but simply said...

"Actually, I was quite puzzled before. Xiao Yan, you don't know what happened here. The four of you look so young, not at all like me who looks so old."

Zhou Yan, standing behind Lin'an, spoke sincerely.

"You're not old; in fact, you're at the most charming age for a woman."

Lin Anru once said that she had the figure of a slightly plump young woman, and that is true.

Three hundred years have allowed Lin'an to perfectly cultivate her feminine charm, which Zhou Yan finds irresistible.

But Zhou Yan dared not flirt with Lin Anru in the slightest, nor did he dare to covet Lin Anru's body.

Little Yama coughed a few times.

"Let's not talk about that now, Miss Lin. Now that we're here, we'll find a way to save the world."

Little Yama patted the peach in Zhou Yan's hand.

These peaches of immortality ripen once every three thousand years; those that ripen there become immortals and attain physical strength and lightness. Those that ripen there once every six thousand years allow those that ripen there to ascend to heaven and live forever. Those that ripen there once every nine thousand years allow those that ripen there to live as long as heaven and earth and be the same age as the sun and moon.

Little Yama doesn't know how much of this claim is true, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden herself said that eating this thing would increase one's cultivation by three thousand years.

Lin'an then turned around.

"How will you save them?"

Little Yama cleared his throat.

"Although we have confirmed that the Magpie Bridge has collapsed, nothing is absolute. The collapse of the Heavenly Pillar may not be solely the fault of the Magpie Bridge, but one thing is certain."

"After the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, it must have involved the Underworld."

"Wait until I eat this peach."

Little Yama snatched the peach from Zhou Yan's hand.

"Let's go to the underworld and take a look."

Chapter 18 Ten Thousand

The Great Xia Organization, Headquarters.

An electric sedan drove past the headquarters on Guangming Street, and the man driving the car scanned the street with his eyes.

The streets were brightly lit, and a large number of workers walked back and forth, creating a lively atmosphere.

Unlike other survivor bases, the headquarters of the Great Xia Organization has a population of one million and more than one hundred awakened individuals, including two demigod-level awakened individuals and more than ten demon-level awakened individuals.

With enough awakened individuals and a large population, a survivor base was created, the only one in the post-apocalyptic world that still had a fairly complete industrial system.

However, as the older generation passed away, this industrial system began to decline.

With such a small population, a generational gap is inevitable.

The electric car drove up to the front of the headquarters government building.

The driver got out of the car, went up to the second floor of the government building, and entered the conference room on the second floor.

There were thirteen people sitting in the conference room, all of whom were high-ranking officials in charge of logistics, resources, and security within the base. The person in charge was a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes. She sat in the front seat of the conference room, the seat that originally belonged to Lin Anru.

The beautiful girl propped her face up with one hand, while using the other hand to spin a glass bead.

The ministers of the departments to his left and right looked displeased, but no one said anything.

The driver's expression changed when he saw the beautiful girl.

This beautiful girl is one of the few demon-level awakened individuals in the base. She is very strong, which is why she easily became a high-ranking member of the base.

Perhaps she rose to prominence solely through her abilities, this beautiful young woman has a terrible temper and enjoys tormenting her subordinates at the drop of a hat.

The driver was a little afraid of this little devil, and could only look at his other colleagues.

"Um, aren't we supposed to have our regular meeting today?"

The beautiful girl slowly raised her head and only spoke after seeing the man at the door.

"Even the Minister of the Interior isn't here. What's the point of holding a routine meeting? By the way, hasn't the old ancestor been gone for three days already?"

The driver said respectfully.

"Yes, the person in charge has been gone for three days."

As survivors of a million-strong population, meetings are a necessary daily routine, and Lin Anru, as Optimus Prime, would never be absent in the past.

The pretty girl asked, puzzled.

"Just because of a few swindlers, our ancestors played along with them for three days?"

Three days ago, the headquarters of the Great Xia Organization received a call from a branch, saying that there were two awakened individuals in a certain place who had awakened from ancient times and had a unique understanding of saving the world.

Everyone, including the beautiful girl, thought it was a joke, but Lin Anru took it very seriously and even went there in person.

They went, but they were already there. Many people in the base thought that if they went to Lin'an and beat up those swindlers, their secrets would be exposed. As a result, they ended up staying for three days.

It shouldn't take three days to reveal all my secrets, right?

The driver smiled wryly.

"You can't call him a fraudster, but someone who can make the person in charge spend three days questioning him must have some real substance."

The remaining ministers looked at each other, their expressions subtle.

They all felt that it was far more terrifying for Zhou Yan and his ilk to actually have a way to save the world than for them to be frauds.

"I do not believe……"

The beautiful girl got up from the table.

“Those people must be scammers. Our ancestor is probably too old to see things clearly and has been fooled. I am his student and I cannot let him be deceived like this. Fang Zheng, take your phone and call our ancestor. I need to talk to him!”

The pretty girl muttered.

"Why go out and see scammers when you have so many talented people at home to waste?"

Upon hearing this, the other ministers also expressed their approval.

"That's right, we are the backbone of the base."

"The person in charge may be under a lot of pressure lately and has started to have cognitive biases, actually starting to trust outsiders."

"Now that the interim supervisor is back, we must have a good talk with him."

The driver sighed.

He realized that the people present weren't afraid that Lin Anru would be deceived or anything, but rather that the people Lin Anru went to see could intimidate her and then compete for her favor.

As the pillar of the base, Lin Anru is someone whose favor will lead to great success.

If Lin'an dislikes a particular minister, he might even remove that minister and replace him with someone he likes.

The driver took out his phone and dialed Lin Anru's number.
