Please be my partner.

The more they thought about it, the colder these senior executives felt. They felt as if their actions were forcibly guided by an invisible hand, and they had unknowingly reached this point today.

The key point is that before this, they didn't even realize that there was anything wrong, which is even more terrifying.

Just as the top leaders of the four forces were suspicious, time was passing quietly.

Among the four forces, because of the end of the war, almost everyone expressed a strong desire to return home, and the monks at the bottom even went on large-scale strikes.

As a last resort, the four forces started a rotation and rest plan, and everyone could take turns returning.

As soon as this loophole was opened, people applied to return home in droves, while those rotated personnel from outside found various excuses to shirk their duties. In just less than a month, the basic personnel of each warship and battleship were generally reduced by a quarter.

In the outside world, the dogs' actions are always ongoing. The difference is that because they have adapted to the rules of the mountain and sea community, and with the help of idiots like Xiaotian, the dogs' invasion has become more secretive, which gives others the illusion that the outside world has calmed down.

As for Xiao Liuli, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth around her had become so dense that it condensed into crystals, completely enveloping her. Under the cover of this layer of spiritual crystals, all fluctuations of Xiao Liuli's aura were isolated.

In other words, although the outside world can still clearly sense the location where Xiao Liuli is being widely spread, it knows nothing about its specific status.

Of course, this layer of isolation does not exist for Mellen. He can sense Xiao Liuli's status through the contract at any time and can even share Xiao Liuli's perspective.

At this time, Xiao Liuli seemed to be asleep, but in fact, he was in the process of exploring and understanding the essence of the world, and it was the Mountain and Sea Realm that taught him.

As the concept rule 'wolf' continued to infect, Xiao Liuli's consciousness gradually penetrated deeper into the mountain and sea realm.

At the beginning, Xiao Liuli's interaction with the Mountain and Sea Realm was only equivalent to opening a narrow passage, through which he could absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the Mountain and Sea Realm, nothing more.

Slowly, as the passage widened and deepened, strands of the origin of the mountain and sea world began to flow out and were absorbed by Xiao Liuli.

Since three months ago, Xiao Liuli has been able to receive scattered fragments of information from time to time. These fragments of information may be extraordinary skills, secret techniques, insights into rules, mysterious knowledge, or abstract concepts...

Although most of them seemed useless and redundant because they could not be connected in series, just those few useful pieces of information were enough to allow Xiao Liuli to make rapid progress.

Now, Melen has handed over all matters to the dogs. He specifically coordinates with Xiao Liuli's perspective, helps the little fox erode the mountain and sea world, and organizes this information.

Based on what he learned in these three months, Mellen discovered some shocking secrets.

First of all, the two True Immortals of Creation were indeed not from the Starry Universe, as Melen expected. They came from a universe called the Immortal Realm.

In the fairy world, it is not in the form of a starry universe, but is divided into thirty-three heavens. The area of each heaven is so vast that it is unimaginable. Even if a half-immortal with a long lifespan has spent tens of thousands of years, he will not be able to step into a certain heaven. Only by truly becoming an immortal with an endless lifespan can he break through the barriers and see more splendid scenery.

Even among immortals, there are distinctions of high and low, noble and humble. Even if an ordinary immortal has an infinite lifespan, he can only dominate one side of the immortal world at best. In the end, he is just a pseudo-free person.

Only by achieving the true immortal fruit can one escape from the immortal world, truly roam in the multiverse, and achieve great freedom and ease.

The True Immortals of the Mountain and Sea Realm are two great beings who have achieved the True Immortal Dao Fruit. They came to the Starry Universe naturally to absorb the rules of this universe to nourish their own Dao Fruit.

The Mountain and Sea Realm itself is actually a kind of magic that only true immortals can use. It was created by the powerful immortals and is specifically used for traveling to other universes.

When things from other universes enter the main universe, there are usually two results: either integration or rejection.

Integration is easy to understand. The golden universe fragment in the ancient exile land is a typical example of integration. Everything collapsed and eventually became part of the starry universe.

Rejection is easier to understand, just like Melen's current situation with the Mountain and Sea Realm, it is probably the same effect. However, if the Mountain and Sea Realm is replaced with the Starry Universe, the impact will probably not be as simple as just mythology. The overlord, or even the supreme being, may target visitors from other universes.

In addition, after visitors from other universes enter the local universe, they will be in a weak period for a long time due to their inability to adapt to the rules. How to solve these problems is the biggest problem for those who want to accumulate knowledge of all worlds.

Speaking of this, Melen actually had a vague guess that the reason why the Tianlong Clan of the Ten Thousand Beasts Universe was so determined to attack the Starry Universe was perhaps to obtain the rules of the Starry Universe, but they did not want to take risks alone, so they dragged the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Universe into war to buy time for them to integrate the rules.

So, there was no trace of Xuanfeng and Youhu in that war, because these two tribes did not agree with Tianlong's plan?

And these non-third-ranked tribes are actually cannon fodder for the Tianlong tribe?!

Judging from the final result, it seems that the Tianlong clan has failed?

Back to the topic, the Mountain and Sea Realm is actually a magical method that can block the exploration of the universe.

After the two True Immortals of Creation came to the Starry Universe, they used immortal magic to open up the Mountain and Sea Realm, and then used the shielding of the Mountain and Sea Realm to safely absorb the rules of the Starry Universe to nourish their own Taoist fruits.

During this process, the two true immortals also passed down some Taoist traditions, which led to the current prosperity of the immortal way in the mountain and sea world.

After the two True Immortals had absorbed the rules of the starry universe, they floated away.

Therefore, the Mountain and Sea Realm is in this strange state, almost impossible to be perceived by the outside world. People inside cannot leave, and it is difficult for people from the outside world to arrive. The overall rules seem so strange.

Faintly, Mellen seemed to sense something deeper, which was what he had been looking for.

That is the road to the fairyland!

Perhaps, those True Immortal disciples did not disappear for no reason, but followed the footsteps of the two True Immortals and went to the fairyland!

Chapter 588 Admit

Fairyland!

Although the information Melen has received is still very scattered, he can vaguely understand that the fairyland is a powerful universe far beyond the starry universe. Those peerless immortals who have condensed the supreme Tao fruit are always dominant in the world, and their reputations shock the outer universe.

The Taoist immortals travel through the universe, and while nurturing their own Taoist fruits, they are also spreading the laws and principles of the immortal world.

Disciples like those in the Mountain and Sea Realm who are accepted by the True Immortals of Creation, if they can succeed in their cultivation, are equivalent to having innate knowledge of both the fairyland and the starry universe. As long as they can condense the True Immortal Fruit, they can be led into the fairyland as geniuses.

Even if one cannot become a true immortal and is just an ordinary immortal, one can still be guided, but the treatment will be much worse.

It is not so easy to condense the fruit of Tao when achieving the realm of immortality. From the beginning of cultivating immortals, one must forge the foundation of immortality, and then condense the immortal seed. After a series of watering and cultivation, a fairy flower will grow, and finally it is possible to give birth to the fruit of Tao.

However, for the powerful immortal sects in the immortal world, condensing the Tao fruit and becoming a true immortal is only the beginning of cultivation.

The path to immortality is long and difficult.

When the two true immortals of creation left behind a portal to the fairyland in the mountain and sea realm. As long as one passes through this portal, one can directly cross the vast outer universe and enter the fairyland.

Of course, this portal is not without limits. Each time it is opened, a part of the foundation of the Mountain and Sea Realm will be consumed. It can be opened up to nine times, but according to past experience, the Mountain and Sea Realm will collapse after five or six times at least, and seven or eight times at most. It is rare that it can be opened nine times.

Moreover, because it consumes the foundation of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it means that every time the portal is opened, the cultivation environment of the Mountain and Sea Realm will suffer a severe blow.

In the ancient times when true immortals were still alive, it was naturally difficult to become an immortal, but it was not that difficult.

Nowadays, let alone the immortals who have become extinct, even among the half-immortals, few can achieve success through their own efforts. The vast majority have to rely on the origin of the mountain and sea world to achieve success.

This is because the portal to the fairyland has only been opened five times so far. If it is opened one or two more times, I am afraid that even half-immortals will find it difficult to see it in the mountain and sea world.

However, if you don’t become an immortal, you won’t even be qualified to find the portal.

Among Mellen's dogs, those related to the immortal way are Spike, Xiao Liuli and Nasus.

Spike only dabbled in it briefly, and his martial arts and 'self' training had already been completely integrated into himself.

Nasus once used the divine path as a ladder to touch the spiritual path, and now he has achieved some success.

Neither of the two dogs has any dependence on the immortal way.

The only one who is still truly cultivating the path of immortality is Xiao Liuli.

When Melen was eroding the mountain and sea world, he also used this unique and special environment to help Xiao Liuli rebuild the immortal foundation, condense the immortal seeds, and water the immortal flowers.

With an endless supply of the origin of the mountain and sea world, as well as spiritual energy, Xiao Liuli's progress is rapid, and both her body and soul are undergoing earth-shaking changes.

If you look deeper into the microscopic field, you will find that every particle in the small glass body is emitting a bright and precious light, full of a pure and ethereal feeling, which is the unique flavor of "immortal".

While Melen continued to dig out the "treasure" of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the outside world was also changing.

When the ceasefire lasted for half a year, the Demonic Path no longer maintained the confrontation and chose to withdraw without any warning. Immediately afterwards, the Shinto Path also announced its departure and began to withdraw its troops.

Although the human race was dissatisfied, after all, they were the only ones who suffered the heaviest losses among the four forces in this war. But at this moment, no matter how unwilling they were, it was useless and they could only retreat.

At this point, the short-lived alliance of the four forces collapsed.

The only one of the four forces that has not left is the demon clan, and the demon clan is also facing a difficult choice.

The demon clan has always admired the strong. A part of the demon clan, led by Xiaotian, believes that since they have already made contact with Mellen, they should hold on to this thigh. With Mellen's support, the demon clan may be able to dominate the mountain and sea world in the future.

However, there are also many demons who strongly oppose this. After all, there are too many demons who have died at the hands of Mellen, including many semi-immortals. If the demons can let go of such hatred, then they are too spineless.

In addition to these two factions, there are also many demon tribes who choose to remain neutral.

While the supporters and opponents were arguing fiercely, the neutrals were happy to watch the fun from the sidelines. After all, the demon race has never been a monolithic entity.

In the end, after the other three forces left one after another, the opposition and neutral factions in the demon clan did not dare to stay for long and directly withdrew to the demon clan area. Xiaotian brought some leaders of the supporting faction to meet Melen.

After a cordial exchange, the supporters expressed their willingness to follow Mellen's lead. In this way, Mellen had his first batch of supporters in the Mountain and Sea Realm. He could clearly feel that the speed at which the concept rule "Wolf" was eroding the Mountain and Sea Realm had suddenly accelerated.

This change made Melen think deeply. He had previously asked Xiaotian to try his best to persuade the demon tribe to side with him, mainly because he felt that the situation was ripe and there was no need to continue fighting. His purpose was to split the alliance of the four forces.

And now, there seems to be another reason.

Melen instructed Xiaotian and the group of demons who had surrendered to him to return to the demon area and win over more demons.

At the same time, Melen certainly couldn't let these monsters generate electricity for love. The benefits they should get would definitely not be less. He himself was wealthy, and he had seized a large number of treasures both in Jinding Mountain and in this war.

Except for Xiaotian who received extra spiritual energy as a reward, the other demon tribes all received generous rewards from Melen.

There is no need to go through all that nonsense. Melen once heard a theory that he deeply agreed with. As long as you give your subordinates enough benefits, then even if you manage them strictly, it is called 'serious love'!

Moreover, the principle of spending a fortune on horse bones is also universal.

These monsters left contentedly, believing that under Xiaotian's leadership, they would be able to stir up quite a stir in the monster area.

Xiaotian was also full of high spirits. Although he was a semi-immortal and at the top of the pyramid of the demon clan, he was limited by his strength and talent and was still far from the real decision-making level of the demon clan.

And now that he has joined Mellen, he not only sees hope of further strengthening, but with the help of Mellen's power, he is also able to compete with the Changsheng Immortal, Kunpeng Demon King, Four Seas Lord and other beings who possess the highest strength and power in the demon clan.

The fate of the world is still uncertain, and it is still unknown who will be the master of the demon clan in the future!

The departure of the four forces gradually dissipated the atmosphere of war, and Melen also entered a rare period of relaxation, carefully interpreting the information in the mountain and sea world.

Three months later, a 'small matter' slightly interrupted Mellen's research.

Melen looked at Nasus and asked doubtfully, "Emissaries from the four factions wish to see me?"

Nasus nodded and said, "Based on my observations, if nothing unexpected happens, their goal is to sign a peace agreement."

"Peace deal?"

Melen looked amused and said, "What's the use of this thing?"

Nasus shrugged and said, "I think they're planning to exploit some of the rules of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Do you want me to send them away?"

Mellen was about to nod, but then he thought of something and changed his mind and said, "No! Let's meet him anyway. Maybe we'll get something unexpected."

Upon hearing this, Nasus immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, Melen met the envoys from the four forces in a luxurious palace.

This palace was naturally built by the mechanical puppets under the command of Xiaoyin. Melen didn't really care about it, but he would naturally not refuse better living conditions.

The four forces each sent a delegation of more than ten people, but most of them could only wait outside. The only ones who could really talk to Mellen were the four leaders.

After the four of them had completed the formalities, Mellen didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Tell me why you're here."

The four of them exchanged glances briefly. The human envoy, a young man dressed in elegant scholarly attire, bowed and said, "Lord Melen, we are here on behalf of the various tribes of the Mountain and Sea Realm to sign a ceasefire agreement with you."

Mellen's eyes swept across the four people and finally stopped at the scholar. The latter's expression froze, and he felt as if a thorn in his back.

Mellen asked calmly, "What good would it do me to sign something like this?"

The scholar hurriedly said, "Lord Melen, as long as you sign the armistice agreement, the grudge between you and us will be written off, and you can walk freely in the Mountain and Sea Realm from now on."

"Huh?!" Mellen chuckled disdainfully and said, "Why, if I don't sign that agreement, what can you do to me?"

The scholar bowed again and said, "Lord Melen, your strength is obvious to all, but do you really think you can do whatever you want in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Mellen looked at him and said playfully, "Isn't it?"

The scholar looked at the other three and said confidently, "Lord Melen, I dare not speak for other forces, but among my human race, there are methods that are enough to severely injure or even kill a True Immortal."

"Oh?" Mellen asked with interest, "I'd like to hear more about it."

The scholar shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Melen, this involves the top secrets of our human race. I can only say that this is a method of beheading immortals left behind by the True Immortals in ancient times."

Hearing the words "method of beheading immortals", Melen's heart moved. It seemed that there was indeed a related record in the information he received, but because it was too fragmentary and vague, he did not know the specific content.

After thinking for a moment, Melen asked, "If this method exists, why didn't you use it in previous wars?"

The scholar shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know. I've already told you everything I know."

Mellen nodded slightly, thinking that this was to prevent him from extracting the soul and refining the spirit to directly read the scholar's memory, so he only told the latter these uncritical information, but it was enough to make him afraid.

Melen looked at the other three people. The envoys from the Shinto, Demonic, and Monster tribes seemed to have discussed it beforehand and all spoke in similar terms.

Melen could sense that they were telling the truth, but this "truth" might not necessarily be the truth.

After pretending to ask for some information, Mellen said, "You want to take advantage of me with just empty words? That won't work!"

The scholar was moved when he heard this and immediately asked, "Master Mellen, please feel free to ask for anything you want."

Mellen smiled slightly and said, "It will cost more money!"

Envoys from the four forces: Huh?
