"That's what Madam Fang said." Jiang Ren nodded and bowed.

Fang Yu said, "Let's climb the mountain, Jiang Ren, you lead the way."

"Yes!"

The group began to climb the mountain.

They originally thought that after this global explosion of the Secret Realm, the entire Tiandu Mountain would cease to exist. Unexpectedly, Tiandu Mountain not only existed, but the Tiandu Palace was undamaged.

The lower half of Tiandu Mountain was completely surrounded by trees.

Looking upwards, the trees became sparse.

Near the Tiandu Palace, the view became open and expansive.

The group did not immediately enter the palace but stood in the plaza, taking in the small mountains below.

Everyone marveled with great admiration.

The great landscape, a new world.

Everything renewed.

The mountain range in the west stretching north to south was shrouded in mist.

"Truly, one who would rise to the summit sees all other mountains as small!" Fang Yu praised.

"Indeed... this new world, feels more comfortable than before... a true return to nature," Chen Daotian said.

However.

Modern architecture, civilization, infrastructure, all were destroyed. The cost was indeed great.

As everyone stood on the plaza, enjoying the breathtaking scenery, a crowd of people surged out of the palace.

"Son! Son..."

In the crowd, Dan Rou saw Fang Yu on the plaza and excitedly ran over like a rabbit.

"Mom?"

Fang Yu was extremely moved, knowing that his real mom cared about him this much and must have been worried sick during his time in the Secret Realm. Just by looking at her expression, he could tell.

Indeed, the hearts of parents all over the world.

Dan Rou came to Fang Yu's side and pushed him aside, saying, "Son, get out of the way... daughter-in-law, I missed you so much... Daughter-in-law, was everything fine this time at the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land? Were you hurt? Was Fang Yu good to you?"

Fang Yu: "..."

He immediately felt like he had been abandoned.

Chen Daotian and others covered their mouths, laughing secretly.

Giving away so much dog food on normal days, now you're getting your retribution?

This is what real moms do!

Ye Wenjun also revealed a rare charming smile and went to chat with Dan Rou. Nothing more than everyday topics, wives, and children.

...

Inside the Tiandu Mountain Hall.

Everyone looked around.

Fang Yu also browsed everywhere.

The more he looked, the more shocked he became...

"This Tiandu Mountain Hall is an Ancient Relic, who would have thought the building materials were so advanced..."

A layer of decoration on the wall was blown off by the explosion, but the material was undamaged.

Touching those materials, they were no less than top-grade steel used today, and upon closer inspection, intricate patterns were carved into these materials.

"So that's it, it's an Array!"

If that were the case, it further showed how massive the project was to build this Ancient Relic.

Each piece of material had to be engraved with an array; how long did it take to complete all the engravings?

Besides the building materials, how many powerful arrays stabilized the entire mountain and protected the surrounding areas of Tiandu Mountain...

This is a matter not to be thought about; the more you think about it, the more you admire the Array Masters.

...

In a certain jungle area.

A row of simple buildings was slowly being constructed.

And it was gradually expanding.

Their king, the king of the Great Zhou Royal Family, stood with a Zen stick on a mound, watching the sky.

He was lost in thought for a long time before he slowly said:

"The celestial phenomenon is too normal, which is instead an abnormal phenomenon... Could it be that the starry sky has changed as well?"

Seemingly unable to figure it out, he shook his head unconsciously, sighing constantly.

Not far away, a guardsman hurriedly came over, looking panicked. He kneeled before the old man and said, "King... something bad has happened... Zhou Tianshuo is dead!"

"What?!"

The old man widened his cloudy eyes, and his hand holding the Zen stick trembled as he cried out, "Say that again!"

"Zhou Tianshuo... he, he is dead!" The guardsman trembled all over.

"This... how is it possible? How did he die? Where's the body?" the old man asked.

"The body is being transported back... Initial assessment is that he was killed by someone... It's a sword wound, and moreover—" The guardsman stammered, unsure whether to continue.

"Speak! No concealment is allowed!" The old man lifted his Zen stick and slammed it onto the ground!

"Yes!"

The guardsman quickly said, "I suspect, suspect that Zhou Tianshuo was killed in one blow!"

One blow?

The old man frowned deeply, previously feeling a great shock but now rather calm, pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that in this new world, it's not as weak as imagined."

The guardsman, seeing that the king was not furious, felt reassured and said softly:

"Respected King... Please allow me to continue investigating, and I must find out who killed our Great Zhou Royal Family's General."

The old man, however, waved his hand and said:

"No need to investigate for now... The urgent task is to establish a foundation. The matter of restoring the nation needs to be planned slowly."

"But, is it possible that General Zhou died in vain?" the guardsman asked.

"No."

The old man continued, "General Zhou died for the Great Zhou Royal Family, and his death will have value sooner or later. However... since he was killed in one move, then his opponent is likely a master above the rank of Void Saint!"

"Void, Void Saint!" The guardsman was shocked, "Void Saints rarely make a move, don't they? It's said that when cultivating to reach Void Saint, it's all about the heart realm, devoid of desire... If it really is a Void Saint, why would he kill General Zhou?"

The old man said:

"The world is being reshaped now, and dangers are everywhere. Powerful ancient tribes in the Secret Realm are emerging one by one. Before knowing whether they are friends or foes, the best way is to kill the other party!"

The guardsman shivered in his heart.

Looking unimaginatively at the highest authority of his Great Zhou Royal Family, he bowed and said, "I understand!"

...

At the same time.

In various corners of the world.

Because humans had done a good job with preliminary warnings, most humans avoided this disaster. In many places, people appeared and began rebuilding their homes.

In Huaxia, the central area—

The military, engineer scientists, and warriors safeguarding modern civilization stepped out of the Secret Realm.

Armored vehicles, buses, cargo trucks, and other modern equipment rolled out slowly.

Modern tools, in such an environment, are undoubtedly overwhelming compared to cultivators!

"Leader, the bulldozer and excavator are in position, please instruct!"

"Begin, let's rebuild our home as soon as possible... The land of Huaxia does not allow for foreign occupation. After this great disaster ends, our task is to rebuild our homeland."

"Yes!"

"Leader, the power equipment has been changed to solar, and the equipment can now stably receive signals, but the range is limited and requires all base stations in other regions to operate normally!"

"Good! Help me contact the person in charge of the Dark Web."

"Yes!"

...

Tiandu Mountain.

Inside the palace.

Fang Yu did not sit on the Dragon Chair but stood among the crowd.

Jiang Ren reported:

"Mr. Fang, the brothers of Tiandu Mountain, including the Dark Web, Five Great Divine Palaces, Northern Desert Xu Family, Luli Sect, Seventy-two Sects, all cultivators, are all safe. Throughout the country, the only ones injured among the Dark Web brothers, no deaths occurred."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu nodded appreciatively and said, "Very good! Jiang Ren, you have made great contributions this time. From today, you are one of the elders of Tiandu Mountain. Directly follow the directions of the Hall Master."

Jiang Ren cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fang."

"Additionally, I have inspected the Tiandu Mountain Hall, and aside from decorative craftsmanship, the building is largely intact. Notify the Dragon Sleep Sacred Land to bring half of their core personnel to live in the Tiandu Palace."

"Yes!"

"Have them bring the books I want."

"Yes!"
