After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 195 Mythical Cards (Ending)

……

Sheng Yixia thought about this for a long time and felt that this term still had its uses.

For example, if this counterattack against the Astral Realm mission fails, then Sheng Yixia will have to consider mechanical ascension to turn the tide.

As for now, let's leave it for now. In case something happens, we can rely on the Heavenly Demon's immortality to hold out.

In addition, the [Divination Technique] and [Innate Dao Embryo] from the Taoist Demon Subduing Record have also been upgraded to the orange epic level.

[Divination]

【⑤【Foresight】In the process of divination, one can receive revelations about fate and gain a clearer understanding of future changes.】

Undoubtedly, this is a powerful orange-themed entry, and if combined with the butterfly effect entry, it could potentially create a huge chain reaction.

[Innate Dao Embryo]

【⑤【Harmony between Heaven and Man】: You can merge with the laws of Heaven, borrowing their power to perform various techniques or enhance the power of spells.】

This orange-colored entry is also quite powerful, but it might not be so for Sheng Yixia. After all, in his opinion, it's better to just use an RPG to blast people than to waste effort using lightning magic. However, the Harmony of Heaven and Man also enhances divination skills. When fighting on Earth, he can rely on the power of the laws of heaven to suppress enemies. Overall, it's a pretty good entry.

These are all enhancements to the original cards.

Although Sheng Yixia wanted to upgrade all the entries, he simply didn't have enough time, and besides, he had other things to do.

Meanwhile, the movie "Special Service 19" also became a huge hit after its release. With the deliberate promotion of the National Security Bureau, it achieved sales of more than 5 billion yuan in a short period of time, which promoted the two cards he obtained to the level of Red Myth.

These are also his only two Mythic-level cards.

Card Name: [Spatial Control]

Card Quality: [Red Myth]

Card Description: [You are a natural-born spatial ability user; space in your hands is like a lump of clay that you can knead at will.]

[Green ①, [Spatial Molecular Lines]: You can create spatial molecular lines to cut through space, forming spatial rifts that can inflict fatal damage on enemies. Note: Space has self-healing capabilities; the space you create won't last long.]

After Sheng Yixia's experiment, it turned out to be an extremely powerful skill. Once someone passes through the space you've cut, their body will separate directly along the gap...

[Blue ②, [Spatial Concealment]: You can distort space to conceal yourself and move slowly.]

This is a high-end invisibility technique. Its drawback is that while it can distort space to conceal itself, it cannot hide one's aura, smell, or sound. However, it is already good enough for its purpose.

[Purple ③, [Spatial Travel]: You can fold space to jump between spaces. The distance and frequency are limited by the card level and the stability of the space.]

It boils down to one word—flash!

Chasing enemies and escaping are both very useful skill attributes.

[Gold ④, [Curtain Rift]: You can easily find the weak points in the world's curtain and create a rift that allows you to travel to another world. But use it with caution, lest you accidentally end up in a dragon's lair.]

well.

With this skill, Sheng Yixia no longer needs to go to the fixed rift in J City to travel between worlds. As long as he finds a weak point in space, he can go to the astral plane anytime and anywhere, and he can also travel back at any time.

As for whether there would be danger on the other side of the rift, he didn't care too much. Whether it was the advance exploration by drones or the deduction by divination, it was enough for him to stay safe. However, if he returned through a rift in a different location, he would most likely end up in another part of the Earth.

After all, four-dimensional travel cannot usually be judged by distance and position in three dimensions.

[Orange ⑤, [Hyperdimensional Exile]: You can tear open a dimensional rift and exile your target to a higher dimension. If the target is not strong enough or not lucky enough, it may drift in the higher dimensions forever. Of course, the greater probability is that it will die from the various dangers of the higher dimensions.]

This is a direct sneak attack that can instantly kill, with power and effect that are simply outrageous. Its advantage is that it is impossible to defend against, and once hit, it is difficult to survive. Its disadvantage is that once the target is banished to the superdimensional world, they will no longer be able to obtain the extraordinary material crystals and loot.

[Red ⑥, [Dimensional World]: You can create your own personal dimensional world. The size of the dimensional world depends on the quality of your cards.]

What is a term related to "red mythology"?

This is the entry for mythology.

This completely gives Sheng Yixia an independent, portable little world, and Sheng Yixia can combine this entry with the Mechanical Mentor card to bring his mechanical factory into the dimensional world.

In this way, as long as he has enough resources, he can continuously produce a massive mechanical army...

The [Mind Hacker] card obtained from Special Operations Bureau 19 is also somewhat outrageous.

Card Name: [Mind Hacker]

Card Quality: [Red Myth]

Card Description: [You are a demon who manipulates minds]

[Green ①, [Psychological Suggestion]: You can plant a seed in the target's mind. Once the conditions are triggered, the target will fall into a specific state and their psychological defenses will be significantly weakened.]

[Blue ②, [Mind Invasion]: Your consciousness can invade the target's mind, freely exploring the secrets deep within their soul. The human heart is no longer an unfathomable mystery before you. Note: The stronger the target's defenses, the harder it is for you to invade.]

When Sheng Yixia saw this entry, her first reaction was that it was somewhat terrifying.

This thing is even more outrageous than the soul-searching technique of the demonic sect. Once the invasion is successful, the memories may be completely read without the invaded person even realizing it. The only limitation is that mind invasion is not easy. It is easier to invade a target who has been subjected to mind suggestions multiple times.

[Purple ③, [Mind Alteration]: Once mind invasion is successful, you can freely alter the target's memories, cognition, and even personality...]

Without a doubt, this is a villain card.
Sheng Yixia felt that as long as you have a Mind Hacker Card, you can hide yourself and become a behind-the-scenes big boss. It would be difficult to find him. Ordinary people are just toys to be manipulated at will in front of such an existence.

[Gold 4, [Mind Control]: You can manipulate the mind of your target, turning them into your puppet without their knowledge.]

Compared to this, the manipulation of divine thoughts is child's play, but when the two are combined, it becomes an outrageous behind-the-scenes boss skill that is getting more and more evil.

[Orange ⑤, [Mind-to-Mind Connection]: It's important to understand that verbal communication is extremely inefficient. You can establish mind-to-mind connections on a large scale, communicating through the mind.]

This is a group chat feature. Sheng Yixia can create a "heart-to-heart" group to connect the hearts of the rest of the team. This communication efficiency is incredible and can greatly increase efficiency, whether for research or teamwork.

When everyone is on the same page, how can things not be efficient?

Furthermore, does the success rate of intrusion increase when a mind link is established?

[Red ⑥, [Mind World]: You can create a mind world. When a person's consciousness enters this world, they will believe it to be the real world. You can use it to mourn deceased comrades, or to imprison and torture hated enemies.]

Mythological entries are, after all, just mythological entries.

Sheng Yixia felt that this skill was simply heaven-defying, even more exaggerated than dimensional space. Mind-based skills were very powerful, but he felt they were a bit abnormal. Sheng Yixia usually only dared to use mind link for meetings and battles, and he tried not to touch anything else unless absolutely necessary.

Some things are like Pandora's box; once opened, you can never return to a normal human worldview.

As a savior, Sheng Yixia is very busy.

Besides acting, he also had to cooperate with Ning Ou, the branch chief who had successfully been promoted to S-rank, to occasionally enter and exit the Star Realm, and to perform divination on the pre-reconnaissance targets listed by the reconnaissance team, in order to determine the location of some powerful S-rank BOSSes.

We also need to consider the level of danger posed by the BOSS. If Ning Ou's team can defeat the BOSS, he can save some trouble. If not, he will have to take on the role of a main damage dealer at the last moment.

Fortunately, while S-class monsters aren't exactly rare in places like the Astral Plane, they're not exactly uncommon either. Some powerful wild monsters or regional lords could be S-class.

Therefore, with each successful hunt, Earth's high-end combat power continued to grow stronger. Gradually, Sheng Yixia was able to save a lot of time to participate in some key tasks of the scientific research team.

For example, the "Extraordinary Energy Fluctuation Monitoring Network," personally developed by the mentor, has been successfully developed and quickly deployed in H City.

This monitoring network is similar to a supernatural version of the Sky Eye system. As long as an extraordinary being leaks energy fluctuations exceeding a certain standard within the monitoring range, it will be detected, located, and quickly eliminated.

This greatly ensured the safety of the city and significantly increased the work efficiency of the various superhuman teams. Soon, the project began to be promoted and deployed in major cities across the country, allowing Xia Kingdom to maintain a stable social state under the premise of the Star Realm invasion.

Unlike many regions abroad, which have already become playgrounds for astral supernatural beings.

But it was precisely because of this project that Sheng Yixia knew that Gao Laodeng must have already been put on the list of the Twilight Prophet's killers.

The Super Research Institute has many similar projects, and every project is missing Sheng Yixia. As a result, Sheng Yixia is like a social butterfly, moving between various teams. As a result, his knowledge reserves in the Super Memory Palace have increased rapidly, and he has become all-rounder without realizing it.

Another noteworthy pair is Lei Dao and Tang Ying Rensheng, two master actors. The former uses his increasingly sophisticated acting skills to continuously entangle himself with the other party, while the latter keeps deceiving Twilight Prophet, providing him with information while also working with Twilight Prophet to devise a plan to eradicate the root of the problem.

The first and foremost threat to be cut off was the Thunderblade, which the Twilight Prophet considered the number one threat. Because the Thunderblade was extremely cunning, it always hid in the shadows and would never set foot in any dangerous area.

Even Lucien couldn't catch him off guard. So, the only option was to send out a large number of elite troops to airdrop and annihilate him when the space tide erupted!
Time flies, and the weather is getting colder.

While other countries are in dire straits, the Xia Kingdom, at least on the surface, still appears to be a peaceful and prosperous place. As the Spring Festival approaches, lanterns and decorations are everywhere, and the festive atmosphere is growing stronger.

However, the extraordinary world of Xia Kingdom has already reached its limit.

There are three days left until the day the parents were ambushed and killed by the astral plane in the previous timeline.

Under the monitoring of the Extraordinary Energy Fluctuation Monitoring Network designed by Gao Laodeng, a large number of early warning messages appeared all over the country. Invisible spatial rifts appeared silently, and a large number of various extraordinary beings from the astral planes either intentionally or unintentionally entered Earth.

This is because the astral plane was affected by a hyperdimensional storm, resulting in spatial tides that made the spatial veil between the astral plane and Earth very thin and full of holes.

The three-day time difference shouldn't be attributed to the butterfly effect.

In the previous timeline, spatial fluctuations and numerous rifts also appeared ahead of time, but by then Earth was already in chaos, and even the Xia Kingdom was in a mess, so it could only struggle to cope with the situation.

In fact, at this point in the previous timeline, the National Security Bureau didn't even know about the existence of the Twilight Prophet, let alone the Root-Eliminating Plan.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, this timeline is already superior.

As a large number of fissures appeared, even H City simultaneously developed hundreds of micro fissures, dozens of small fissures, and three medium-sized fissures.

Three or four months ago, these cracks alone would have been enough to cause H City to fall completely in a short period of time.

However, now, a large number of newly grown superhumans are methodically dispatched to various rifts to suppress and clear them out according to the assigned tasks. The three medium-sized rifts are the most popular, and there are not enough to go around.

After all, things have developed to this point. H City now has sixty or seventy official or civilian superhuman teams. The team leaders and deputy leaders are all B-level superhumans, and there are seven or eight deputy captains, all of whom are A-level. The captain, Twilight Prophet's nemesis, Thunder Blade, is already half-step S-level.

However, despite such a dramatic change.

As the captain of the H City Extraordinary Brigade, Lei Dao personally led two deputy captains and ten extraordinary squads to suppress the most dangerous medium-sized rift.

This medium-sized fissure is precisely the trap set by the Twilight Prophet.

Just as the thunder knife was suppressing the fissure.

Suddenly, the medium-sized rift expanded again, transforming into a large rift in a very short time. The enormous spatial gap stood tens of meters high, like the cracked eye of a god or demon.

The moment the large crack appeared.

Several exceptionally powerful auras easily tore through space and descended upon H City through a large spatial rift. They surrounded Lei Dao without hesitation or mercy, preparing to kill him with a single blow and eliminate this prophet's greatest worry.

To achieve his goal, the Twilight Prophet even went so far as to send his most elite subordinates and confidants.

Just when they thought they had won, Lei Dao's aura suddenly began to rise rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it displayed S-level power, turning into a bolt of lightning and fleeing.

Several S-rank astral powerhouses immediately gave chase, but after only a short distance, they were shocked to find that they had fallen into a trap.

It was a deserted area that had been cleared out at some unknown time. Several human powerhouses surrounded them, and the one in the lead was none other than the Director of the Xia Kingdom's Non-Aggression Bureau—[Azure Dragon], a middle-aged man with a square face who was around forty years old.

Long before the astral invasion and the resurgence of spiritual energy, Qinglong was already a well-known superhuman within the official ranks, one of the few A-level superhumans in the world. At that time, even the Ice Queen Ning Ou was inferior to him, being only one of his vice-captains.

Such a person possesses extraordinary talent. If they were in a place with extremely high concentrations of extraordinary matter in the astral plane, as long as they don't die, advancing to the demigod level would be highly probable.

Unfortunately, in the previous timeline, he died even earlier than Ning Ou, dying before even advancing to demigod status.

But this is unavoidable. After all, as the Director-General and the number one expert in China, he has to go wherever there is danger and take the hits, so there is no time for him to develop.

But this timeline is different. He is the second person to be promoted to S-level after Ning Ou, which is almost the same time. Now, with the snowballing resources and previous accumulation, his strength has even reached S+ level, and he can easily take on two S-level people one by one.

Therefore, he will be the main force in this anti-root-cutting plan.

The other two S-class individuals accompanying Director Qinglong's operation are also very famous superhumans in China. They are Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain and Master Buxin from Prajna Temple. They have always been elites of the National Security Bureau and have served as regional branch directors.

With the addition of Lei Dao, who also consumes a lot of resources, a total of four S-class fighters surrounded the other four S-class fighters.

On the surface, it looks like a 4 vs 4 situation, but this is our home turf. Although the Heavenly Dao's suppression of them isn't strong, it can still help by holding them back.

Furthermore, the continuous supply of various high-tech weapons gives them an absolute advantage.

If all else fails, we can use nuclear bombs to bombard it. Although that would damage the environment and cause internal casualties, it is insignificant compared to the destruction of the earth.

With Qinglong holding off three Astral Transcendent beings, while the other three S-class beings ganged up on one, the outcome of the battle was practically a foregone conclusion.

However, Qinglong's location is not the main battlefield.

……

Astral realm.

An inconspicuous little oasis in the vast void.

This seems to be common in the astral plane, usually inhabited by weak races or wandering supernatural beings.

Only a very few people know that this is actually the lair built by the early war commander-in-chief, the Twilight Prophet, and the enemy chieftain's headquarters that sparked the war between the two worlds.

suddenly.

A spatial rift stretched across the sky, as if two invisible hands had torn it apart.

Immediately afterwards, several figures filed out, the leader being Ning Ou, the Ice Queen, who was dressed in a black trench coat and seemed to be shrouded in ice and snow.

She exuded a terrifying aura, and as soon as she appeared in this void enclave, a blizzard erupted without restraint.

All the guards who dared to approach or attempt to stop them were frozen into icicles, which then shattered into pieces on the ground.

Ning Ou was the first to come out, naturally to clear the area.

After the drones confirmed safety, subsequent combat personnel arrived one after another.

The characters include Fei Jie, the One-Punch Man from the Xia Dong branch; Ao Qing, the Dragon King of the South China Sea; Qiu Feng, the Fire Phoenix; Sheng Yixia; and Lucian Twilight, a very handsome man who wears a tuxedo but has a pair of bat wings on his back.

“Lord Ning’ou.” Lucien bowed respectfully to Ning’ou. “That seemingly dilapidated temple is the hiding place of the Twilight Prophet.”

This time, in order to be a good guide, Lucien Twilight revealed all the secrets of his family's ancestors, including a large spatial teleportation scroll, which was as valuable as a sacred artifact.

“Very good.” Ning Ou glanced at him and nodded slightly, saying, “Since you keep your promise, once we kill the Twilight Prophet, we will definitely help your Twilight Clan regain the glory of your ancestors and overthrow the Lord of Twilight in the future.”

"Thank you, Lord Ning'ou." Lucien was very excited. "Our Twilight Clan has been enslaved by the Lord of Twilight for ten thousand years, and most of our ancestors died in the Lord of Twilight's sacrifice. Being able to avenge them is already very satisfying."

"It's a pity that I'm too young and not strong enough, so I can only wish you all the best of luck."

Ning Ou stopped arguing with him and instead looked at Sheng Yixia.

Sheng Yixia understood immediately. With a thought, five coins flew up and formed hexagrams before her eyes. She calculated with her fingers, nodded secretly, and then a simple altar appeared out of thin air. Sheng Yixia continued to cast spells with her fingers.

"Shh!"

The surrounding environment changed instantly. A large amount of grayish-white mist was continuously absorbed by Sheng Yixia, and the power of the laws of the star realm rapidly gathered into grayish-white spheres in his palm.

The art of stealing from the heavens.

This is a high-level application of the Heavenly Secrets lineage, capable of stealing a piece of heavenly secrets, but is intolerable to the Heavenly Dao.

As Sheng Yixia continued to steal the secrets of this oasis, the power of the laws of the Star Realm rapidly dissipated and became weaker and weaker, and its suppressive power on everyone also decreased. When fighting in the Star Realm, the most annoying thing was the suppression of one's own side by the Heavenly Dao of the Star Realm. At least 20% of one's combat power would be suppressed.

Since Sheng Yixia stole the Heavenly Dao Laws here, there's no question of suppression. Moreover, if the Twilight Prophet tries to use their Heavenly Dao power to cast spells, the power will be very weak.

Most importantly, Sheng Yixia was "stealing". The so-called "stealing" is naturally a private act, and during the process of stealing, it is unlikely to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally no Heavenly punishment will be thrown down.

This is what makes the Heavenly Secrets lineage so despicable; even their own Heavenly Dao doesn't give them a friendly look.

However, Sheng Yixia is different from the ancestors of the Tianji lineage. First of all, he is the son of the Heavenly Dao. The mother and son are very loving and filial. Therefore, Sheng Yixia never steals the Heavenly Dao laws of his own family. On the contrary, he goes to the Star Realm from time to time to steal the Heavenly Dao laws of the Star Realm to nourish his own Heavenly Dao and strengthen its power.

Although it sounds strange to say it like this, it really does sound like a son going out to steal batteries to support his own mother who is in poor health and rather frail.

It's too late to say.

In a short time, Sheng Yixia skillfully stole most of the Heavenly Dao Laws here. At this moment, the Twilight Prophet, who had already sensed the danger, could no longer hide and directly unleashed a powerful and terrifying mental shockwave towards everyone.

Although the Twilight Prophet is not skilled in combat, it is still a demigod on the mental side. This mental shockwave is extremely powerful, and even an S-rank powerhouse would likely be unable to withstand it if hit head-on.

However, Sheng Yixia took a step forward, unfolding the stolen Law Sphere. Combined with his own divine sense skill [Force Field], it formed a powerful shield that completely blocked the terrifying demigod-level mental shockwave.

This scene.

This was not only unexpected by the prophet of dusk, but also by Lucien's foresight.

Is this guy really that strong?

"Proceed according to plan!" Ning Ou ordered.

next moment.

Ao Qing, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, made the first move.

He patted his belly and spewed out a torrent of water, which rushed down like a waterfall from the heavens, crashing wildly against the dilapidated temple. Ning Ou, meanwhile, unleashed a shower of ice and snow, freezing the water spewed out by Ao Qing into icicles.

Under the double impact, the dilapidated temple could not withstand the pressure and collapsed. Two S-rank guard leaders finally couldn't hold back and rushed out, desperately trying to resist the torrent of ice shards, but it seemed to be of no use.

Faced with immense pressure, the Twilight Prophet implemented the Root-Severing Plan, playing all the cards at its disposal. The fact that it still had two S-rank guards by its side was already considered extremely cautious, since with its deductive abilities, it should have been able to receive a warning and calculate if someone were to launch a sneak attack.

However, under Sheng Yixia's deception of heavenly secrets and the protection of the Heavenly Dao, it failed to foresee that humanity would launch a counterattack at this critical juncture.

Rumble!
The temple shattered, revealing the enormous brain monster—the Twilight Prophet—with a compass-like treasure floating behind it.

As dusk fell, the prophet appeared.

Our decapitation team immediately acted according to plan, each taking out a cylindrical object more than a meter long from their storage space, carrying it on their shoulders, and then aiming at the Twilight Prophet and firing directly.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh* Several rockets, trailing trails of flame, hurtled straight toward the Lord of Twilight.

These specially designed rockets are extremely fast, reaching Mach 3 in a short time. Almost as soon as they were fired, the rockets reached dozens of meters away from the Twilight Prophet. However, the Twilight Prophet was also very powerful. His terrifying mental energy was so condensed that it was almost tangible, and he actually managed to freeze all the rockets in place.

But how could these rockets be ordinary?

These are small tactical nuclear warheads that Xia Kingdom has produced with all its might in the last three months, and there are only a few of them.

It's easy to make this kind of thing large-scale, but extremely difficult to miniaturize it.

In the future timeline, Sheng Yixia also told him that they also wanted to miniaturize nuclear bombs for special operations, but unfortunately, by then they had been scattered and crippled and no longer had the ability to research it.

Fortunately, Earthlings currently have abundant research and development capabilities, and at the critical moment, they finally overcame all difficulties and produced a small batch, which was named "Godslayer" and was specially designed to supply special operations against demigods.

"Boom boom boom!"

The rockets roared in unison, and the terrifying shockwaves created several small mushroom clouds. In a chain reaction, their shockwaves broke through the Twilight Prophet's mental defenses, and flames and radiation instantly raged across the Twilight Prophet's cerebral cortex.

"Hiss!" The mute Twilight Prophet emitted a sharp and piercing mental pollution, causing Fei Jie and the others to have a buzzing in their heads, and blood to flow from their ears, noses and throats.

Under a wave of tactical nuclear attacks, even the demigod Twilight Prophet, caught off guard, was blown to pieces. His brain-shaped body was covered in blood and cracks, and he lost at least 60 or 70% of his full strength.

The two S-rank prophet guards were nearly killed by the explosion, losing eight or nine tenths of their lives.

"kill!"

Ning Ou's spirits lifted, and at his command, several S-class experts immediately rushed forward. Ning Ou, as an S+ class superhuman, took the lead and served as the main force.

As for Sheng Yixia, she didn't go up. Instead, she retreated to the back, showing that she had exhausted her strength when she blocked the Twilight Prophet's shockwave, leaving Ning Ou and the others to fight the Twilight Prophet and his group who were already low on health.

Even so, it was still a bloody battle.

Even though the Twilight Prophet was severely injured by the God-Slaying Nuclear Bomb, he was still a demigod. It was fortunate that Sheng Yixia had stolen the Heavenly Dao Laws of this world in advance; otherwise, if the Twilight Prophet had used the power of the Heavenly Dao to cast a spell, it was hard to say who would have won or lost this battle.

After Ning Ou, dragging his mangled body, worked with Ao Qing to freeze the remaining half of the Twilight Prophet's brain, Fei Jie shattered it with a punch, and then Huo Luan Qiu Feng used her last flames to roast it into brains, the four of them seemed to have exhausted all their strength and were so unsteady that they could barely stand.

But in the end, they won.

Everyone's face lit up with ecstasy.

we won!

It seems we are now just one step away from resolving the global crisis.

"Yi Xia, go and get the Compass of Destiny," Ning Ou weakly instructed. "Use your power to reverse the trajectory of Earth's collision with the astral plane."

"Received!" Sheng Yixia, who had been watching from the sidelines, seemed to have recovered a lot of strength. With a sway of her body, she flew towards the compass of destiny that was suspended in mid-air.

But just as he was about to reach the location of the compass of destiny.

suddenly.

A blur of motion swept past Sheng Yixia, hovering between her and the Compass of Destiny.

He was dressed in an elegant suit, his handsome face resembling that of an ancient nobleman, with bat wings fluttering high behind him. When he looked at Sheng Yixia, his expression was full of mockery: "Mechanical Instructor Sheng Yixia, I didn't expect you to be so well hidden."

Sheng Yixia's expression immediately changed: "Lucian? What are you doing?"

"Alright, let's not beat around the bush," Lucian said with a sneer. "Do you think I don't know that idiot Lei Dao is just a scapegoat you've put forward? The reason I haven't exposed him is because it would be pointless for me. It's better to play along and turn the tables on him!"

"The only thing that surprised me was that I thought the magician was the mastermind behind everything, but it turned out to be you... Mechanical Instructor Sheng Yixia!"

"What do you mean by this? We're allies!" Sheng Yixia's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Allies? Heh, you mere natives of Earth, a backward and ignorant race, what right do you have to be allies of our great vampire clan?" Lucian spoke with an arrogant and condescending air.

Crimson energy surged within him, spreading outwards without restraint.

Lucian's eyes grew increasingly scarlet, their color becoming more and more eerie, and the wings on his back grew larger and larger, turning completely scarlet, as if a terrifying, tangible force was causing the air to ripple outwards.

At this moment, the power and might it displayed were in no way weaker than that of the Twilight Prophet, and it was even more threatening.

"Demigod-level strength? Lucien, you've been hiding it so well?" Sheng Yixia's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "How is this possible? You're not that old, are you?"

"Hehe." Lucian was like a triumphant villain, thoroughly enjoying Sheng Yixia's gaze. "I've said it before, our Twilight Clan had a Holy Ancestor, and the Holy Ancestor left us a Life-Bound Blood Jade. It was by obtaining this Blood Jade that I inherited the Holy Ancestor's power."

"Good heavens, you dare to use this so casually?" Sheng Yixia's expression turned strange. "Aren't you afraid that your Holy Ancestor still has a remnant soul left in the Blood Jade, and is currently cultivating a vessel that can possess another body and be reborn?"

"What?" Lucian's expression changed drastically, as if he had thought of something. His face turned pale and then red, but he quickly became firm again and stared at Sheng Yixia, saying, "My Holy Ancestor has placed the hope of the family's rise on me. Stop trying to sow discord here."

“Mechanical Mentor, I’m sparing your life because you’re a talented individual. If you submit to me and agree to let me plant the blood curse, I’ll spare your life.” Lucian’s fierce gaze swept over Ning Ou and the others. “The same goes for you. As long as you’re willing to work for me, you’ll have a share in this astral plane!”

"Aren't you afraid of the gods of the astral plane?" Sheng Yixia asked again.

"Haha, they are struggling to resist the superdimensional storm and can barely protect themselves, how can they have the spare strength to help me?" Lucian laughed wildly, "After I devour the origin of the earth, I will deal with them one by one."

What the hell!

Sheng Yixia gasped.

I don't know if this guy is genuinely awesome, or if he's just as mentally unstable as Murong Fu.

"Sheng Yixia, that's enough. Stop wasting your breath on this little madwoman." Ning Ou, looking exhausted, suddenly stood up, took out a bag of steamed buns, asked Qiu Feng to heat them up, and then happily began to eat them.

The others also started eating the meat buns heartily.

As they ate the buns one by one, their vital energy gradually returned, and their injuries healed rapidly at a visible pace.

This is the orange-tier epic-level meat bun effect.

Even for S-class superhumans, eating a few of these can have a strong recovery effect.

“This is…” Lucien’s face instantly turned somewhat ugly.

"Lucian, wait for me a moment." Sheng Yixia once again held the Book of Heavenly Secrets in his left hand and grabbed the Five Emperor Coins in his right hand to start casting a divination. This time, he was divining the Lord of Twilight to see if He was really in a precarious situation as Lucian said.

With the combined effects of various enhanced divination and related skills, the phantom of the Lord of Twilight actually appeared in Sheng Yixia's mind. Indistinctly, it seemed as if a giant insect was crawling in the air, surrounded by countless powerful storms that were constantly raging and sweeping around it.

哟～
As a superdimensional being, it was indeed being attacked by a superdimensional storm.

Sheng Yixia confirmed this information and was surprised to find that the true form of the Lord of Twilight was actually a giant insect.

But at that very moment, an incredibly powerful malice struck.

Sheng Yixia understood.

This is the Celestial Dao of the Star Realm using the internet to attack Sheng Yixia, but Sheng Yixia skillfully used the skill of framing others, shifting the blame to Lucien Twilight.

What's the most important thing when you're out in the world?
Of course, it's a skillful way to shift the blame!
A sudden sense of alarm struck Lucien, and his expression changed drastically.

But it was too late. In the next instant, its body seemed to be firmly grasped by a powerful force, as if it were about to be crushed to pieces.

But before the force could be applied, a huge bloody hand suddenly appeared on Lucien's body and slammed into the air.

The malice emanating from the Celestial Path was instantly vanished.

"Truly worthy of being a demigod-level powerhouse on par with the Heavenly Dao," Sheng Yixia praised. Although the tried-and-true method of framing caused some damage to Lu Xi'an, it wasn't much.

But this isn't a big problem; Sheng Yixia naturally has other tricks up her sleeve.

The voice just fell.

Sheng Yixia vanished from her spot and reappeared behind Lu Xi'an.

When Lucian suddenly woke up and turned around, he found that Sheng Yixia had disappeared again, leaving only faint spatial ripples and... a miniature tactical nuclear bomb.

Having witnessed the power of this thing before, Lucien was terrified and his face changed color. He retreated rapidly.

But, it's too late.

"boom!"

The tactical nuclear bomb exploded almost to Lucien's face. The crimson shield that Lucien had erected twisted violently, but it shattered a fraction of a second later, and he was blown away in a small mushroom cloud.

They definitely won't die, but they've certainly suffered some damage.

Sheng Yixia couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This tactical nuclear weapon was really useful. It was just a pity that they had too little time to prepare it. Only a few were produced, and once they were used up, they were gone!
But it's alright, Sheng Yixia has a lot of tricks up her sleeve now.

Moreover, his main body has already been promoted to S-rank, so he feels he has the advantage even in a one-on-one fight against a demigod.

next moment.

Sheng Yixia inserted the Mechanical Mentor card.

A control backpack appeared behind him, opening up a dimensional space. In the dimensional space, one could vaguely see a factory that was continuously producing mechanical units.

A continuous stream of drones surged out like a swarm of bees. These drones, the latest development by Sheng Yixia, were as big as a three-wheeled motorcycle and extremely fast due to their jet propulsion. Their dense formation was truly spectacular and awe-inspiring.

"Da da da!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The drone swarm swarmed towards Lucian, unleashing a barrage of fierce firepower. Lucian was completely enveloped in a hail of bullets and explosions, but he was ultimately a demigod-level being, and even the drone swarm could not do anything to him.

Meanwhile, Ning Ou and the others had recovered and joined the battle. With Ning Ou's S+ level combat strength, she could hold out for a while even against a demigod head-on, completely holding off the opponent and allowing the drones and her other companions to focus their fire.

In this way, the tide of war has basically turned in our favor.

But Sheng Yixia didn't seem satisfied. He handed over command of the drones to some intelligent life forms, while he switched character cards and became a sound illusionist dressed as Elvis Presley.

Start my stage, let's begin playing and singing.

While inflicting some negative status effects on Lucian, it also allowed Ning Ou and others to be filled with various beneficial buffs, making them even more powerful. Ning Ou, in particular, felt that he could even take on a demigod after being fully buffed.

"You?! Pfft!"

Lucian spat out a mouthful of blood, and incredulously ran away while shouting angrily, "So you were the Illusionist too. You were a really good actor."

"Shh!"

Sheng Yixia switched to another role, becoming a magician with a terrifying mask on his face and his whole body shrouded in a gray robe. He changed to a hoarse and deep voice and said, "Hehehe, you flatter me. As an actor, acting skills are my livelihood."

"Holy crap! Even the magician is you!" Lucian was stunned when he was punched by Sister Fei and hit by several rocket-propelled bullets, causing him to vomit blood again. "Damn it! Even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me."

He withstood the concentrated fire and flapped his wings to swoop down on Sheng Yixia.

However, before he could even pounce on Sheng Yixia...

"Shh!"

Sheng Yixia disappeared from the spot again and reappeared behind him.

The next moment, a shower of playing cards rained down on Lucien like a shower of flowers, inflicting all sorts of negative effects on him, including internal injuries and immobilization.

The others also took the opportunity to focus their fire.

Even so, Lucien was still alive and relentlessly pursued Sheng Yixia.

However, Sheng Yixia had too many tricks up her sleeve. After using them in turn, Lu Xi'an collapsed to the ground like a dead dog in just a few minutes, unable to withstand the next round of attacks.

"Any last words?" Sheng Yixia asked kindly, pulling away from him.

"Damn it..." Lucian struggled to lift his head, wanting to curse Sheng Yixia, but before he could finish, a perfectly smooth crack appeared on his neck, and his head and body separated.

"Branch chief, freeze him. Captain Qiu Feng, burn him to prevent him from reviving."

Then came a series of acts of desecration, annihilating every single cell of Lucian's body, leaving only a blood-jade-like extraordinary crystal that exuded a mysterious, eerie, and extremely powerful extraordinary aura.

Is this the extraordinary substance left behind by a demigod-level vampire after death?
Great, I obtained two demigod-level transcendent crystals today.

After the battle was over.

Sheng Yixia then picked up the [Compass of Destiny], a treasure even in the Star Realm.

Its exterior is ancient, yet it seems to be surrounded by countless dreamlike dotted lines, and Sheng Yixia's mental power, divination, and the celestial secrets she has learned are all part of the laws of destiny.

This is why the Twilight Prophet controls the compass of fate.

Therefore, Sheng Yixia quickly figured out how to use the Fate Compass. After a few moments, after framing several waves of backlash, Sheng Yixia successfully reversed the original setting of the Fate Compass, correcting the fate of the astral plane and Earth colliding in the fourth dimension and returning them to their original trajectory of just passing each other.

suddenly.

Rumble!
The entire astral plane seemed to tremble, and the small oasis where they were located shook violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Sheng Yixia quickly used divination to calculate the best escape route and led Ning Ou and the others in that direction.

At the same time, he used the "Curtain Rift" entry from the "Spatial Mastery" card to search for weak points in space.

A moment later, a thought struck him.

It's nice here.

We are currently in a state of space tidal activity, with countless weak points between the astral plane and Earth.

Tearing apart space, creating gaps in the curtain.

Under Sheng Yixia's control, a curtain crack more than ten meters long quickly appeared.

Just as everyone was crawling towards the other side of the crack...

Suddenly, the sky changed color, quickly turning from daytime to dusk, and a magnificent sunset spread across the horizon, glorious and sacred.

Under the beautiful sunset.

A giant, ghostly image of an insect appeared out of thin air.

The phantom figure blotted out the sky, exuding a majestic and terrifying aura. Its huge and indifferent compound eyes stared intently at Sheng Yixia, as if it hated him to death.

This was naturally just a projection of the Lord of Twilight, not his true form. It was already a miracle that this projection could unleash demigod-level power. Sheng Yixia wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she greeted him, "Old Huang, you're late. Goodbye."

With that, he led everyone into the crevice.

"hiss!"

The Lord of Twilight let out a high-frequency roar of anger.

"Stop howling, and think about how to deal with the hyperdimensional storm. I have a bad feeling about you, Lao Huang." Sheng Yixia left with a jinx before she left.

"puff!"

As if he had hit the nail on the head, the projection of the Lord of Twilight suddenly wailed in pain, then vanished into thin air, and even the changing winds and clouds above his head quickly returned to normal.

Clearly, His true form in a higher dimension was being attacked by the storm and was struggling to cope.

Sheng Yixia and the others also returned to Earth.

Under Sheng Yixia's control, the crack in the curtain behind her rapidly healed.

"This is where?"

Sheng Yixia discovered that this place was a mountainous region, and judging from the vegetation, temperature and soil environment, it did not resemble the Xia Kingdom at all.

"Hmm~ It seems to be the United States." Ning Ou took out a device, started satellite positioning, and quickly determined the location.

“Going back from here is too far, let’s take another detour.” Sheng Yixia found a weak point in space, tore open space and returned to the Star Realm, casually eliminating an S-class evil dragon, before traveling back to Earth.

After this happened four or five times, Sheng Yixia and the others appeared in Malaysia.

Alright~ This place is relatively close, so Ning Ou contacted the Malaysian authorities directly and arranged for a plane to take them back to China.

Although the operation was very successful, the National Security Bureau remained uneasy and continued to fight against the Astral Realm without letting its guard down, and began to actively conduct research.

Two months later, it was finally confirmed that the trajectory of the astral plane in the fourth dimension had been altered and that it would pass by Earth in the future.

Such an outcome naturally invigorated the entire planet.

In that case, they only need to survive the few years they miss the astral plane, just like in ancient times.

But everyone underestimated the current fighting power of Earthlings.

Today's Earth has over eight billion people, and its technology is far superior to that of ancient times. In addition, it has accumulated a snowball effect of advantages in the past, while the true god-level giants of the astral plane are trapped in the hyperdimensional storm.

As a result, in the ensuing battles, Earth was the one dominating Astral Plane.

Moreover, once this advantage snowballs, it will become more and more powerful. Five years later, when the astral plane and Earth are at their closest distance, Earth will have achieved a complete victory. One by one, demigods from the astral plane will fall, while our demigods will continue to emerge.

In particular, the Xia Kingdom produced more than ten demigod-level powerhouses within five years!

Even when many projections of gods descended to participate in the battle, they were all intercepted by our side, to the point that the enemy gods were forced to cower and dare not come out.

That's why, when the timeline turned and the two missed each other, and were about to drift further and further apart in the coming years, Sheng Yixia actually began to regret using the Fate Compass to change everything.

If nothing changes, even if Earth is swallowed by the astral plane, then Earthlings will become the new masters of the astral plane!

At this juncture, the astral side began to celebrate, finally, finally starting to move away from Earth...

Five years later.

The Astral Realm, battered and ravaged by the devastation of being plundered, finally escaped Earth's relentless plundering and was no longer forced to live like a rat hiding in the shadows.

Especially in the last year, Earth cast an incredibly large psychological shadow on the astral plane.

Because the Lord of Twilight has fallen.

He had already consumed a lot of divine power while resisting the superdimensional storm, and three of his projections had died at the hands of Earthlings, so his strength had become very weak. Just as the two sides were about to part ways.

Earthlings actually rushed into a higher dimension, dragged the Lord of Twilight down, and then brutally beat him to death.

This scene.

This terrified the astral gods.

They unanimously agreed that they must subsequently change the trajectory of the celestial planes to avoid missing Earth again in the next cycle.

"The Compass of Destiny!"

Relying on the divine essence left behind by the Lord of Twilight after his death, Sheng Yixia once again drives the Compass of Destiny to change the timeline of her future self.

"Shh!"

Sheng Yixia appeared in the dilapidated and floating city of H, facing her true future self as they gazed at each other.

"You succeeded!" Sheng Yixia's numb eyes widened slightly, then suddenly lit up with joy.

“Yes, I succeeded,” Sheng Yixia said. “So, let’s start by cleaning up the mess by bringing Mom and Dad back to life.”

"..."

A great summer ahead.
