From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 462 The Boundary Domain, Our Own People

"That is the Nine Provinces Barrier. Fifty years ago, another layer, the End of Dharma Domain, was added to the Nine Provinces Barrier. Once it is raised, all extraordinary powers, whether they are Taoist arts, magic, or superpowers, will be erased. Even if God came, he would become a mortal."

A small motorboat drifted on the sea. Karakai slumped on the boat, her body limp and grimacing. Although she was wearing protective armor, the impact of falling from a height of 10,000 meters still caused her considerable injuries.

"You...who are you?!"

Looking at the unfamiliar man sitting at the bow of the boat, puffing out smoke, Karakhai frowned and asked.

This man, in his fifties or sixties, was very thin. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, a large emerald ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and his hair, though sparse, was neatly combed and waxed. He wore a rather retro-style long robe and held a brown cigarette holder in his hand. At first glance, he looked exactly like a gang leader from old Shanghai during the Republic of China era.

"My surname is Hu, Hu Mengbei, one of our own!"

“Mr. Hu…!” Karakai caught his breath. “My mind is a bit of a mess right now!”

By this time, the small motorboat had reached the edge of the barrier. Hu Mengbei steered the boat directly through the barrier, and Karaka breathed a long sigh of relief after passing through it.

The power... has not returned...

However, the physical characteristics of a Kryptonian have returned. Unfortunately, the energy contained in her cells was completely evaporated within that so-called Kyushu Barrier. Even so, her body, modified by the radiation from the yellow sun she has absorbed over the years, is still far superior to that of an ordinary person, and she at least has some ability to protect herself.

Most importantly, Kevin and Whitney's mental connection has been restored. Although it is not yet possible to contact Kevin across worlds, contacting Whitney is no problem.

Smallwell and Whitney were also shocked. They thought it was just a routine investigation, but they had stumbled so badly. The worst part was that they still didn't know what had happened.

Who is this Hu Mengbei, and why does he refer to himself as one of our own?
Of course, the most important question is why he was able to rescue Karakhai in time. Was he prepared beforehand?
Is it a prophecy? Or what?
For a moment, Whitney's mind went blank.

"I can only take you this far. Rest here for a while, and you can go back when the sun rises. Don't come back again; the Nine Provinces Barrier has already remembered your presence." Hu Mengbei steered the small boat to a small reef protruding from the sea.

"I understand, thank you." Karaka nodded, got off the small boat, and said to Hu Meng with his back turned, "This time, I owe you a favor, if..."

"Don't be so polite, we're all on the same side." Hu Mengbei exhaled a smoke ring, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and looked at Karakay. "Don't think about repaying any favors or anything. I'm just like you, a person from the underworld."

"Well!!"

Karakai's gaze sharpened, and he abruptly stood up straight. After taking off his glasses, Hu Mengbei revealed green eyes and two fangs protruding from his mouth, a familiar aura surrounding him.

Taiyin Refining Form Technique!
Zombies!!
That's a green-eyed zombie.

"I understand!"

After confirming the other party's identity, Karakhai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Taiyin Refining Form Technique is a standard skill for people in the underworld, and zombies are the result of successfully cultivating the first version of the Taiyin Refining Form Technique. Of course, it is also possible that they were transformed from being bitten by the Great Emperor. Karakair had no intention of investigating which one they belonged to.

However, she was still very curious about the situation in the Eastern Kingdom, so she asked the question that had been on her mind, "Does this world belong to the Heavenly Court?!" "This is a tributary territory."

"A domain under control?"

"Nominally, it's under the rule of the Heavenly Court, but in reality, it's a semi-independent entity. It was fine when the Underworld was normal, but later, when the Underworld fell into chaos, the Heavenly Court lost its main means of control here. And since there are quite a few powerful local forces, it's currently in a semi-independent state. As long as they don't rebel, the Heavenly Court won't interfere too much," Hu Mengbei said with a smile. "The existence of the Eastern Kingdom is like that rope, a kind of monitoring, ensuring that these outer realms don't completely rebel. The ordinary people of the Eastern Kingdom are fine, but the extraordinary forces are completely under the tutelage of the Three Mao True Lords. Their disciples and grand-disciples are stationed in Hong Kong, monitoring everything."

"Sanmao Zhenjun?" Karaka chuckled. "It seems that Sanmao Zhenjun and our Great Emperor don't have a good relationship!"

"I don't know about that," Hu Mengbei smiled. "However, for the past five hundred years, we people in the underworld have been constantly hunted down by the disciples and descendants of the Three Mao True Lords."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"You've done a good job. This is the first time in all these years that I've seen these Maoshan disciples so furious." Hu Mengbei smiled, looking at the sliver of golden light appearing in the east. "Alright, I should go back now. This time, you broke through the Nine Provinces Barrier, exposing your information and giving them quite a few clues. Be careful."

“I understand, they won’t be able to find me,” Karaka said with a smile.

Hu Mengbei nodded, said nothing more, started the small motor, and headed back the way he came.

On the horizon, a golden line rose, and sunlight shone from the east. Karakhai's body was like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing the energy from the sunlight's radiation. Half an hour later, her figure soared into the sky, leaving a sonic boom in the air, and disappeared without a trace.

Eastern Kingdom, Chang'an, Supernatural Writing Association
In the quaint office, an elderly man with white hair stood solemnly. "It's confirmed. They are Kryptonians."

"Kryptonians? The Kryptonians in this world haven't even matured yet. Besides, Kryptonians are energy-based beings, how could they possibly affect Smolwell's luck?"

A middle-aged woman wearing glasses and a white coat looked up, puzzled. "Also, according to our monitoring, after entering the Kyushu Barrier, the other party should have landed in the eastern sea area, but we haven't found them..."

"The news from the lighthouse has come over. Feng Si has discovered the altar that suppresses the fortune. Although it is very new, the runes are very ancient and very orthodox. They could never have been made by those alien creatures. Moreover..."

"And what?"

"Those zombies have been very active lately, and their actions have become increasingly reckless."

"You mean someone from the underworld has intervened, and has directly reached out to the lighthouse?"

"That's for sure. For so many years, we and the Underworld have been vying for control of these tributary domains. Because of the chaos in the Underworld, we have always had the upper hand. But since the Eastern Peak Emperor returned to his throne, the situation has changed. Most importantly, they are different from us. They act recklessly and never consider the consequences. In order to achieve their goals, they are willing to destroy world after world. It seems that this time, they don't want to waste time with us here. They have directly projected their actions onto the Lighthouse and started to act, thus triggering a chain reaction."

"what do you mean……"

"Now that we've identified the source of the great calamity, there's no need for us to be polite. Let Kong Kenan and the others go over there. Give them maximum authority, and if necessary, erase all traces of Kryptonians' existence."
