The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 180 Ancestor Yang Mei
Beyond the primordial world, in the endless chaos, gazing at the massive, grayish-white world membrane radiating a surging, profound aura, Shi Mo, clad in gray robes with a complex expression, took a deep breath and turned to head into the depths of chaos.
This time, Shi Mo left without informing anyone, and simply departed quietly.

With the two avatars, Red Lotus Daoist and Nebula Daoist, and Nebula Daoist staying at Nine Peaks Iron Sha Mountain to play the role of the original, probably no one would suspect that he has already left the prehistoric world.

Of course, Shi Mo's departure could not be kept secret from Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

In the chaos beyond the Thirty-Third Heaven, within the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, as if sensing something, opened his eyes and glanced in the direction Shi Mo had left, his eyes filled with envy and anticipation: "What exactly is in the endless chaos?"

What is in the chaos? Shi Mo had thought about this more than once before, but when he really went deep into the chaos, he found that there seemed to be nothing there except endless chaotic energy.

It's like an endless universe, filled with endless space and all sorts of stars.

However, there were no other primordial worlds in the chaos, nor any powerful beings or creatures.

"Could this endless chaos, like the universe, be a place where there are no other life-bearing planets besides Earth? A world and life other than the primordial world?"

Filled with doubt, Shi Mo advanced through the endless chaos for an unknown amount of time, becoming numb to the chaotic energy that constantly surrounded him.

"I refuse to believe that this chaos is truly boundless," Shi Mo gritted his teeth and continued forward. After some time, he suddenly noticed a problem: "Why does it feel like this chaotic energy is flowing forward?"

Gradually, Shi Mo became more and more certain that his senses were correct, because the chaotic energy was surging faster and all moving in one direction.

So, on a whim, Shi Mo decided to go with the flow, drifting forward as if propelled by the surging chaotic energy, his speed increasing rapidly.
"No, where are they trying to take me?" Shi Mo, who was slowly sensing that something was wrong, subconsciously wanted to go against the current and leave.

However, while going downstream was fast, Shi Mo found that going upstream was too slow and too strenuous.
"Fine!" After a stalemate, Shi Mo decided to go downstream: "Everywhere else is filled with endless chaotic energy, but this place is a bit special. I want to see where this chaotic energy is going."

However, as the speed increased, Shi Mo, who was rushing downstream at top speed, began to feel a little nervous and apprehensive: "Please, please don't let it be some kind of dead end! I can't be that unlucky, can I?"

And so, a long time passed. The chaotic energy raged like a flood, its impact enough to seriously injure even a quasi-saint, and to terrify even the saints.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Shi Mo felt as if he were falling from a waterfall, his whole body was submerged by the chaotic energy wave, and he was falling rapidly, as if there was a bottomless pit below.

"What's going on?" As Shi Mo plummeted downwards, he felt as if he had entered a large water pipe. The increasingly terrifying impact, as if he were bound, made Shi Mo feel as if he were carrying Mount Buzhou on his back. If he did not have the physical body of a saint, he probably would not have been able to withstand it at all.

Finally, after passing through a long, compressed passage, Shi Mo felt a lightness all over his body. The chaotic energy that had been surging down behind him seemed to disperse. He dashed out of a light-like exit and arrived in a vast, empty void.
"Where is this?" Staring blankly at the vast void that seemed like an endless starry sky, Shi Mo turned his head to look at the chaotic energy 'smoke rings' spewing out from the huge passage behind him that looked like an exhaust pipe, and couldn't help but be a little astonished.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Mo discovered that there seemed to be quite a few such passages in the distant void, like a honeycomb.

However, the chaotic energy that kept spewing out like smoke rings quickly dissipated upon entering this void, as if an invisible force was erasing it or silently devouring and absorbing it.

"It seems this place is indeed extraordinary," Shi Mo thought with curiosity. He flew directly into the distant void, only to find that the void was like a vacuum with no energy fluctuations, and there was an invisible force that made him feel oppressed and uncomfortable.

The deeper they went into the void, the more pronounced the feeling became, causing Shi Mo to frown: "What kind of place is this?"

After enduring the oppressive discomfort and flying for a while, Shi Mo, as if sensing something, suddenly focused his gaze on the distance: "What's that?"

From afar, Shi Mo seemed to see a ball of light, but it was too far away to see clearly.

However, Shi Mo was filled with excitement and anticipation, so he quickened his pace.

As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," Shi Mocai finally got close to the circle of light after flying for a long time. At the same time, he could roughly make out that it seemed to be a huge world, somewhat like a world from the primordial world.

However, unlike the chaotic membrane walls of the primordial world, the membrane walls of this world appear to be colorful.

"What a vast world! Much larger than the Primordial World!" Shi Mo, increasingly amazed as he approached, then his expression froze as he noticed something: "This is... a destroyed world?" On the colorful membrane of the world, there were long cracks, like abysses, which, upon closer inspection, looked as if a giant hand had reached out and formed them.

"Hiss!" Shi Mo, who subconsciously reached out and grabbed, couldn't help but gasp: "What level of powerhouse is this? He can tear through the membrane of a world with one hand and prevent it from recovering. Could this world have been destroyed?"

"But why can it still maintain such a complete membrane shell? Moreover, the aura is still so surging and powerful, as if it is still absorbing and transforming various energies. What kind of world is this?" Filled with shock and doubt, Shi Mo directly approached one of the deep abyss cracks that looked like a finger claw.

Upon approaching, Shi Mo keenly sensed that the invisible oppressive force he had felt earlier seemed to originate from the crack, and he could also vaguely see what was inside the crack.
It contains mountains and rivers, and doesn't seem desolate or destroyed.

Shi Mo, who instinctively flew towards the incredibly wide crack in the membrane wall, felt an invisible and terrifying power descend upon him even before reaching the edge of the crack.
The invisible power fluctuations, seemingly high above, made Shi Mo tremble with fear, causing his magical power to stagnate, his body to stiffen slightly, and even his soul to feel a throbbing pain from the pressure.

"Isn't that terrifying? It should only be some residual energy, yet it still makes me feel so uncomfortable. What level of being is it that wants to destroy this world?" Shi Mo hadn't felt that kind of fear and trepidation in a long time.

With a thought, Shi Mo mobilized the power of the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead within his body, allowing it to spread out. Only then did he manage to stabilize his mind, and then gritted his teeth and flew towards the crack.

It was as if an ordinary person had passed through the gaping maw of a whale and entered that other world. Shi Mo still felt a lingering sense of fear afterward.

"What a vast world!" Shi Mo, looking down at the entire world from high above, was immediately shocked. The world seemed to have no complete land, not even flat land. It was as if a continent had been broken into countless pieces, each of which had formed mountains of different sizes and shapes.

Between the towering mountains lies the vast sea, where mountains and sea meet in a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight that left Shi Mo somewhat astonished.

On those mountains, there are also some living vegetation, and there are even large areas of slopes or flat land in the valleys and mountainsides.

However, Shi Mo soon discovered a problem: there seemed to be no living creatures here. It was eerily quiet, with not even a breeze, and the sea was calm and still, like a dead sea.

"A world without living beings?" Shi Mo frowned, then noticed what appeared to be a huge landmass in the distance, with a towering mountain on it.

Shi Mo, who had rushed over, slowly approached after a while and realized that what stood on the continent was not a mountain peak at all, but an enormous stone statue.

"Pangu?" After clearly seeing the vague face of the stone statue, Shi Mo was even more surprised: "How could there be a stone statue of Pangu here?"

Shi Mo, who was rushing to fly over, felt his blood and qi surging within him.
"The bloodline of Pangu. Could it be that Pangu really has some connection with this place? Could it be that this world was also created by Pangu?"

With a sense of surprise and doubt, Shi Mo turned to look at the distant mountain peaks, his expression becoming increasingly strange: "No, they're not mountains, they look like... stone statues?"

It's no wonder that Shi Mo didn't realize it at first. If the stone statue of Pangu was very clear, then the mountain peaks seemed somewhat abstract. But upon closer inspection, they did indeed reveal human figures or some animal outlines.

"How can there be so many stone statues? These stone statues should not have been formed naturally, so who left them behind?" Shi Mo frowned, full of doubt.

"Finally, someone has come to the Pangu World again," a sudden, hoarse voice rang out, causing Shi Mo to turn around abruptly. He saw a withered willow-like spiritual root on the vast land in front of him suddenly come back to life, its light flowing as it rapidly sprouted branches and buds, and soon transformed into an old man in green robes and with green eyebrows.

The old man, radiating a vibrant aura of life, was clearly a Saint-level cultivator. In a flash, he appeared before them.

"Such masterful spatial techniques." Raising an eyebrow at Shi Mo, a thought suddenly struck him: "You are... Ancestor Yang Mei?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in green robes became somewhat excited: "You come from the primordial world?"

“That’s right!” Shi Mo was also somewhat surprised: “Senior Yang Mei, how did you end up here? Did you also come here following the chaotic energy? You said this is the Pangu World?”

“I named this place Pangu World because I saw a stone statue of Pangu,” said Ancestor Yangmei, unable to contain himself, “You shouldn’t have come here.”
