I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 118 Demon
Except for Li Jun.

Various forces on Earth also have special methods to see what is happening in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they began to do so as soon as they returned.

Before they could do anything, a generation of people in the Mountain and Sea Realm had vanished in an instant.

The impact of this scene was so strong that it plunged countries around the world into fear and silence.

The scene was devoid of sound and gore, yet it conveyed an extreme sense of cruelty and terror.

Someone killed hundreds of millions of people and countless creatures they brought into the wilderness, without using knives or any weapons, but with the passage of time.

"It's all gone."

"Dead? Did he die of old age?"

"Can it be saved?"

“They all died of old age. How can we save them? They're all doomed.”

"Gods, these are gods. This was their plan from the beginning, damn it."

After the initial fear, some were filled with rage, some cursed loudly, and some vowed revenge.

Some people are still urgently contacting the depths of the Mountain and Sea Realm, wanting to do something, even though it's already too late.

"What about the soul? Can the soul be retrieved?"

"It's too fast, seventy years have already passed in the blink of an eye."

"Part of his soul has come out and should be in the Yellow Springs. However, he no longer has a body in either Earth or the Mountain and Sea Realm. The next thing will be very troublesome."

"Oh no, some people have started to reincarnate, and their souls have disappeared and can't be found."

"Is there anything we can do to make arrangements for a thousand years from now?"

However, no matter what they do, they cannot stop the further changes in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

One generation passes away, and the next generation is born.

The whole world is accelerating, and countless lives are being reborn with every blink of an eye.

And immediately after.

One by one, shadows rose from the lower levels and plunged into the Great Wilderness, just as Earth's humans had entered the Mountain and Sea Realm before.

Earth, on a high-rise building.

First Nuwa: "People have emerged. Do you recognize anyone?"

Li Jun: "I saw them, they are all ordinary souls, the immortals haven't come out yet."

The souls of immortals are different from those of ordinary people. Their souls are infused with a portion of the power of imperial blood, making them easy to distinguish.

Even if the immortals fall into the cycle of reincarnation, they are as conspicuous as the great fish and the Kunpeng in the Northern Sea.

Li Jun: "Did you see that? How did they reincarnate?"

The First Goddess: "Beiming".

Li Jun looked at Bei Ming: "It's not Xuan Ming, although a portion of Xuan Ming's power was mobilized."

The first goddess Nuwa said, "It is Zhu Jiuyin."

In fact, Li Jun had already taken precautions in this regard. He knew that the souls below would definitely need the power of reincarnation to return, so he locked onto the power of the Yellow Springs in advance.

Therefore, he was also curious about how the other party would complete the reincarnation process after he had controlled most of Huang Quan's power. Now he finally had the answer.

Li Jun noticed that the overwhelming number of souls was being cast down through an eye above the North Pole Heavenly Pillar of the Mountain and Sea Realm. These souls transformed into large fish and swam out, merging into the Great Wilderness.

The first goddess Nuwa also noticed those "fish".

It is said that "without the power of the Yellow Springs, no new souls can appear, and the cycle of reincarnation constructed in this way is flawed."

Li Jun said, "They don't need new souls anymore. Countless souls in the lower realms are waiting to be reincarnated. It's not just human souls; there are countless souls in the animal realm alone within the six realms of reincarnation."

The First Goddess Nuwa understood something: "They no longer need new souls. Through repeated reincarnations, the animal realm wants to become human, mortals want to become people of the mountains and seas, and witches want to become immortals and achieve eternal life."

"They have been waiting for this opportunity for thousands of years."

"A once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity."

"Over a thousand years of reincarnation and time, they can allow these souls to undergo layer-by-layer transformations, accumulating power to create more ghosts and gods and control them, ultimately completely refining the laws of the demon gods and reaching the perfect sixth stage."

"Let all the immortal artifacts reach their most perfect state, and let the Mountain and Sea Kingdom also reach its perfect state. Let all the laws intertwine within the Heavenly Court you originally established, and finally lead all the souls to the other shore, where they can live forever without dying or aging."

The more Nuwa looked, the more she understood the plan of the people who had risen from the lower levels.

"No wonder."

"They want to reach ultimate perfection, and then forcibly break through heaven and earth to seek transcendence."

“In the past, this process took them too long, and you wouldn’t give them that time.”

"Because every time their accumulated power reaches a certain limit, you will jump out and harvest them."

"Now, with a thousand years compressed to the extreme, they can do things that were never possible in ancient times."

When the First Goddess Nuwa finished speaking, she looked at Li Jun.

"They really did it, transcending heaven and earth, a thousand years in an instant."

"When they come out, there is a real possibility that an existence that is infinitely close to the seventh stage will appear."

Are you under a lot of pressure?

Li Jun flashed and appeared at the gate base in Nangang City.

In a trance.

He could see the shadows of the Peach Demon Priestess and the Maiden of the Nymph flash behind him, but the two Peach Demons seemed to have materialized.

Inside the gate base, the group, who had just escaped death, had not yet had time to calm their lingering shock before they began working non-stop to gather intelligence on the Mountain and Sea Realm and make various analyses.

The moment Li Jun appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

This time, Li Jun remained silent.

Instead, he simply raised his hand and saw the shadow of Huang Quan appear beneath his feet, like a river of light running through the earth.

The real world as seen by everyone disappeared, and they themselves transformed into souls, standing on that river of light.

Subsequently, Li Jun used the Guanghe River to stuff a large amount of information into the minds of the key members of the Gate Base.

Aside from some accompanying information, it was a completely new method of cultivation.

The first three stages of the cultivation method are actually not much different, and are very similar to the cultivation method of the Mountain and Sea Witch.

However, a corresponding adjustment was made because the cultivation techniques and methods of the Mountain and Sea Realm were actually aimed at the power of the Emperor's Blood, which was about how to integrate the double pupils to control the immortal artifacts.

This set of cultivation methods connects with the power of Xihe, and the question is how to integrate the power of Xihe after reaching the fourth stage.

However, the latter half of this fourth stage is somewhat strange. It teaches how to use the power of Xihe and Nuwa's intestines to invade the existence of the Mountain and Sea Realm and plunder the power of the ghosts, gods, and demons of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The fifth stage is even more obvious: by reversing the demons and gods of the Mountain and Sea Realm, seizing their power to feed Nuwa's intestines inside the Earth, a new demon god is created.

The sixth stage is when you seize enough power, and once Nuwa's intestines regenerate a demon god, the power of this demon god will be directly under your control, allowing you to master the demon god's rule system.

"Earth Projection Cultivation Method"

The elevators on the lower level of the gate base went up.

Many people rushed up, wanting to talk to Li Jun.

At this moment, Li Jun said, "The items have been given to you, but whether you use them or not is up to you. There's not much time left."

The other party understood: "Based on the current situation, in just over a day, the Mountain and Sea Realm will accelerate to a thousand years in the future. At that time, all the gods from the lower levels will come up, and there will definitely be a dramatic change. We must do something before that happens."

Li Jun said, "The other side has a thousand years, while we only have one day. You should decide for yourselves!"

"I have opened the interface to the Underworld for you, and I will also give you the power of transformation from Nuwa's intestines. All of it is in what I have given you."

The other party replied, "We understand."

now.

Humanity as a whole is in dire straits, having suffered a crushing defeat in the Mountain and Sea Realm, losing most of what it had accumulated over the past decade.

Countless people lost their other bodies in the Mountain and Sea Realm, almost all of their cultivation, the Mountain and Sea Kingdom they had established and occupied, and the sacrificial artifacts or what some people later called magic artifacts that they had been refining.

It can be said that for most people, it's like suddenly waking up from a dream. Before waking up, they were cultivators who could fly and escape into the earth, and after opening their eyes, they became ordinary people again.

Fortunately, most of the people managed to evacuate.

This is the gate base.

Many of the other side were still receiving the message from Li Jun, and although they had accepted the memory, they had not yet fully digested it.

One of them arranged for people to immediately spread the cultivation method that Li Jun had taught them, while also preparing for the Human Alliance to hold an emergency meeting to work with all parties to prepare to enter the Mountain and Sea again.

On the other side, they were also having this conversation with Li Jun.

He said, "According to this cultivation method, we no longer need any physical body. We can simply project the power of the Yellow Springs into the Mountain and Sea Realm time and time again, and then possess any person, animal, or plant through the power of Nuwa's Intestines. We can also transform into human form?"

Li Jun nodded: "Yes."

He said, "We can also reclaim our power through projection, and even bring back things lost in the Mountain and Sea Realm."

When he said this, you could see that many people around him had their eyes light up.

Hearing that they could reclaim their lost power, sacrificial artifacts, and even the Mountain and Sea Kingdom and everything else they once possessed, which had fallen into the hands of the Mountain and Sea Realm, made them eager to try.

He wished he could immediately follow the method Li Jun gave him to return to the Mountain and Sea region, retrieve what he had abandoned in disarray, and even demand it back from the other party with even greater force.

Li Jun nodded again, but then mentioned another important use of this power.

"There is another very important thing for you."

"You can use this method to recall the souls of your relatives and friends that have been lost in the realm of mountains and seas."

"If you can find them, even if they don't remember the past, many people should still be able to find them!"

These words moved not only the person in front of him.

Everyone in the entire gate base who heard Li Jun say those words had a change in expression.

Just now, they lost everything in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

What saddened them most was not only the loss of power, but also the fact that many of their relatives, friends, and even daughters were trapped in it.

This devastated them.

As soon as Li Jun said this, the people in front of him looked to their left and right and realized that this matter could no longer be stopped.

He could not stop the world's determination to reclaim their power and regain their superhuman abilities, nor could he stop everyone's efforts to save their loved ones and children.

If they did that, they would be throwing themselves into chaos first.

Although he had secretly made up his mind from the beginning to return to Shan Hai, not only the members of the other sect bases, but also the other party had a strong sense of unwillingness.

I am unwilling to fail like this, unwilling to give up on Shan Hai like this.

He said, "So the main way to practice this method is to continuously bring back power from the realm of mountains and seas, and finally a ghost or god will be born inside Nuwa's intestines, which will allow you to enter the fourth stage."

"And to create a demon god, one can even enter the sixth stage, which is actually competing with the gods and immortals of the Mountain and Sea Realm for resources."

He began to understand.

The principle of this cultivation method is to use the power of Xihe as the source, to create projections with the Yin Yellow Springs, and to generate ghosts, gods and demons with the Yang Nuwa's intestines, constantly cutting flesh from the mountain and sea realm.

This process is actually a continuous strengthening of the Earth, creating a complete system belonging to the Earth by parasitizing the mountain and sea realm.

Just as the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, and two gives birth to three.

But in reality, it is also constantly strengthening the person in front of you, because he is the source of this power system.

"Emperor Jun!"

Li Jun could tell that the other party understood the key point, and in fact, he didn't try to hide it at all.

He was told clearly, "The reason those lower-level deities have risen up is to enable the entire Mountain and Sea Realm to undergo a transformation and accomplish what they could not do in their ancient times."

“I want to cut flesh from their bodies so that they can’t complete the process.”

"If we let them accomplish this, the next problem won't just be with the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"It is Earth."

Li Jun wasn't necessarily entirely filled with malice towards the gods below, but he knew that once they came out, they would definitely target him first.

And the same applies to all of humanity; when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

It's true that tall people are the ones who have to hold up the sky when it falls, and Li Jun has always been that tall person, but what if he can't hold up the sky?

Putting everything else aside, everyone just needs to think about what would have happened if Li Jun hadn't intervened at the last moment, and they'll understand.

Li Jun said, "I need power to confront and restrain them."

The other party nodded: "We also need you to help us protect the interests of all humankind."

At this moment, Li Jun and the entire Earth are completely bound together as one entity.
-
Earth.

Cities around the world lit up, but before they could resume normal operations, or even before they could resume, they received a joint notification from the United Nations, governments of various countries, and various local and mountain and sea supernatural organizations.

The ten years in the Mountain and Sea Realm nearly destroyed the alliance and also caused a complete split in humanity.

At this very moment, humanity around the world united once again, for they faced a life-or-death crisis and shared common interests and goals. Screens in the underground facilities lit up, all cell phones rang, and the city's public address system began broadcasting.

First, they explained the current situation.

Next, they explained their next course of action, which was the method Li Jun had given them.

"Now we will restart the Mountain and Sea Projection Project. This time we will re-enter the Mountain and Sea and reclaim everything we have lost."

"A thousand years will pass in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but we only have one day."

"But in this day, we not only have to take back everything that belongs to us, but also fight to the end against those people from the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"..."

The notices issued by various countries and forces around the world are largely similar; some are very formal and official, some are very persuasive, and some are full of the retro characteristics of cultivators in the world of mountains and seas.

However, at this moment, many people feel incredibly excited upon seeing this announcement.

"Can I get it back?"

“That’s great, my son is still inside. I must bring him back, no matter what he looks like, I will find him.”

"My wife is still inside, and I must bring her back."

“My land of mountains and seas, those guys took all my things, I’m going down to get them back.”

"The Human Alliance is really powerful. As expected of the great tree behind humanity, we humans still have a solid foundation. Those gods won't be able to defeat us so easily."

In each of the underground facilities.

As soon as they stepped out of the metal cabin, they lay back down, ready for another round of battle, and their fighting spirit was much higher than before.

Soon, items resembling contracts between gods and spirits were released from the underworld and imprinted into the souls of every human being on Earth.

By this time, the soul had become a standard feature of humankind on Earth, possessed by all of humanity.

In fact, starting from that time, humanity had already undergone a transformation in a certain sense, from a civilization composed of carbon-based life forms to a civilization that actually exists primarily in the form of souls.

It's just that the time is too short, most people haven't fully grasped this concept yet, or even if they understand it, they still focus on the physical body due to habitual thinking.

Now Li Jun has launched this plan.

This also allowed this characteristic of human civilization to be brought to its fullest expression.

"I am willing!"

"I am willing to sign this contract."

"I can go back into the mountains and seas, I need to hurry down."

"agree!"

Although Earth's civilization nearly came to a standstill, human organization did not perish; instead, it became even more sophisticated, only now it exists in another world.

Now that they've returned, everyone is working together towards the same goal and shared interests, and the system remains incredibly efficient.

Every minute, new humans from Earth enter the realm of mountains and seas through the Yellow Springs using new methods.

then.

Then I saw this scene.

Extraordinary rays of light descended from the sky, passing beside the sun and gliding past the bright moon.

It was like a scene from the past, only this time it was different.

The laws of the Great Wilderness below immediately reacted, intercepting and even countering them to prevent them from descending.

This world is hindering them, resisting them.

However, the golden crow in the sky let out a sharp cry, and the bright moon emitted a moonlight like flowing imperial nectar. These beings that descended from the sky followed their power and tore a hole in the laws, entering the earth.

Some of them have a strong foundation and were once at a high level of power.

As the moonlight transformed into imperial liquid, it fell, using the power of Nuwa's intestines to occupy the bodies of birds, beasts, plants, and even the inhabitants of mountains and seas, and quickly reappeared in the realm of mountains and seas.

Some of them were directly thrown into towns and cities, where they could only hide in the form of spirits.

They knew this place very well and began searching for something.

They began to possess the people of the mountains and seas who had obtained their power, or even their former magical artifacts, and began to gradually steal back their own power and reclaim their magical artifacts.

"My power has returned." A human from Earth has taken over a new body. This person has the bloodline of the body he left here before, and has inherited his former power.

"This is my magical artifact. Do you think you can use it just because you found it?" A soul, which had been dormant for a long time, summoned the magical artifact of a cultivator from the Great Wilderness at a crucial moment.

"Come back! My things, give them back to me!" There was also someone who had been hiding in a mountain and sea kingdom for more than ten years, and seized the entire mountain and sea kingdom in the midst of chaos.

In an instant, the entire Shan Hai Realm was thrown into chaos.

The people of the mountains and seas and the humans of Earth began a fierce conflict. The humans of Earth wanted to reclaim what once belonged to them and bring back their families who had been lost there.

As for the people of the mountains and seas, waves of beings constantly descended from the sky and attacked this land. These beings took over the bodies of birds, beasts, flowers, and trees, causing chaos in the region.

They could either disguise themselves as native inhabitants of the Great Wilderness, only to be completely exposed one day, taking with them the entire Mountain and Sea Kingdom or stolen power, and break through the void to leave this world.

To the people of the mountains and seas, they are thieves of the Great Way.

Or perhaps it exists in a formless form, secretly parasitizing and bewitching mortals and cultivators throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, dragging them into the heavens.

And during this process, they are also being told...

“You were my Daoist partner in a past life.”

"You were my brother in a past life."

"I am your father."

"I'll take you home."

Gradually, the people of the mountains and seas began to refer to these invading beings as...

"Extraterritorial Demon!"

Earth.

The base is systematically sending people into the Mountain and Sea Realm, racing against time.

People entered every minute and every second, but soon they returned. These people went alone, but returned with their cultivation, magical artifacts, and even the Mountain and Sea Kingdom.

Only when I came back.

They will pass through three layers of barriers.

First, they must pass through the lower levels of the Underworld and be verified by its power before they can enter Earth.

Then, everything they obtain will remain inside Nuwa's Intestines and cannot be brought back to the real world. They can choose to integrate into Nuwa's Intestines to create ghosts and gods, or to transform into a body or something else, or they can bring these powers back to the Mountain and Sea Realm next time to gain more resources.

Finally, they will pass through the real-world Absolute Heaven-Earth Array and return to their original location to awaken.

From Earth's perspective, they had only been lying there for a few tens of minutes, but in the mountain and sea realm below, decades had passed.

Although the timings of the two sides were out of sync.

However, because of this connection, while drastic changes are taking place in the realm of mountains and seas, the Earth is also undergoing drastic changes along with them, and the two are in a strange state of synchronization.

The staff at the gate base kept things running smoothly, and then they applied for time to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, following closely behind the others.

Lu Gang, Zhao Nange, Zheng Shiliang, and Lü Qing were among them. They arrived at the lowest level of the gate base and stood in front of several metal cabins.

Each of them carried an important mission, and of course, they also had their own things they wanted to do upon entering the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Zhao Nange didn't say much and simply lay down inside.

Before leaving, she said, "I will land on Buzhou Mountain to gather information about the Heavenly Court. If you need anything, you can find me at the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the same way as before."

Zheng Shiliang followed him inside without saying a word.

However, Lu Gang and Lü Qing were a step too slow, because Lu Gang was a little worried about Lü Qing.

Lu Gang spoke of the news he had just received: "We never imagined that one day we would be called extraterrestrial demons."

Lü Qing: "What extraterrestrial demons? Most of the cities in the Mountain and Sea Realm were built by us. They originally belonged to us. Those people took our things in the blink of an eye."

Lu Gang said, "But if you count it, they've been there much longer than we have; they lived there 10,000 years ago."

Lü Qing: "I don't understand these principles, but I don't think we did anything wrong."

Lu Qing had been in the Mountain and Sea Realm for many years, where he had married and had children. This time, he went down there to bring his wife and son back.

Even if they have lost their memories and don't remember themselves, he is willing to spend more time and energy to bring them back.

After finishing speaking, Lü Qing lay down inside the metal cabin.

Lu Gang followed, this time heading towards Jinwu to prevent the other side from targeting Jinwu.

Based on information brought back by some people and a large amount of intelligence reported back by Huang Quan, Lu Gang learned that a group of cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm had their eyes on the Golden Crow and the Moon. His mission this time was to investigate and find out the situation, and to thwart the cultivators' plans.
-
The changes are dazzling.

Li Jun was still sitting in that building at this moment, seemingly not planning to leave tonight, because for him only three hours had passed, and he had only been sitting there for a while.

He had just watched the streetlights below turn on, and was now preparing to watch the sun rise in the distance.

However, only one or two hundred years have passed in the Mountain and Sea Realm, which is the replacement of nearly ten generations. It has also been nearly a hundred years since the so-called "extraterrestrial demons" descended upon the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The First Goddess Nuwa rested her hand on the railing on the rooftop, looking down into the depths of the earth, where she could see countless "extraterrestrial demons" moving back and forth.

Each time they traveled back and forth, they extracted extraordinary power and various extraordinary resources from the Mountain and Sea Realm, just like the mountains and seas themselves.

Some even brought back the entire Kingdom of Mountains and Seas, kidnapped some of the ghosts and gods of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and even brought back many fragments of ancient immortal artifacts.

Over time.

It is measured in minutes, with a clear boundary at the hour.

The power of those "extraterrestrial demons" is growing at a visible rate. They are not only regaining their former magic power, but also reclaiming what they once possessed.

They even turned this great disaster into an opportunity, beginning to reach levels they never dared to imagine before.

"Immortal!"

"To live forever, to never grow old."

Actually, it's only been three hours.

Several people had already begun to condense and transform into ghosts and gods inside Nuwa's intestines, looking as if they were about to ascend to the position of immortals.

When this group of "extraterrestrial demons" of god-like status enters the Mountain and Sea Realm, it will likely trigger some unexpected chain reactions, causing further upheavals in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Li Jun had also been watching the Mountain and Sea Realm, gathering intelligence about it through the Yellow Springs, and surveying its land and the four seas through the Golden Crow Moon Wheel.

Among them, Li Jun felt the biggest change was in the area of ​​the mountain and sea boundary.

"The Mountain and Sea Realm has grown even larger, increasing in area by at least six times."

At this moment, the First Goddess Nuwa spoke up and asked Li Jun a question.

She said, "Don't you feel that something else has gotten bigger too?"

Li Jun glanced at the First Nuwa Goddess and then understood what she meant.

"Is it Earth?"

Then his gaze instantly rose, observing the entire Earth from a bird's-eye view. His gaze quickly left the Eastern Kingdom and the continent, circling around the sea.

In Li Jun's view, he saw a strange scene.

On the mainland, he felt no change; nothing had moved. However, the distance between Nangang City and Tanggu had increased more than tenfold. He had been tracking it for a long time, feeling like he was almost on another continent, but he had only just seen Tanggu.

Li Jun said, "How can it be so far?"

The first goddess Nuwa said, "Of course, the Earth has also become larger."

Li Jun had already thought of it, but he was still somewhat surprised.

Li Jun continued to look into the distance. The original Pacific Ocean had become more than ten times larger. He saw that there were countless more islands in the Pacific Ocean. The original islands had risen up and connected together, becoming a new continent, and this continent was still growing.

And looking at other oceans, similar situations are observed.

A new continent has appeared in the Indian Ocean, and Antarctica has begun to expand and partially shift.

Although nothing has changed within the original continents and everything remains the same, the world outside the continents is undergoing dramatic changes within these three hours.

"The surface area is more than ten times larger."

He raised his gaze to the entire Earth.

It was discovered that the Earth's diameter has increased more than three times, and it is still expanding dramatically.

This process was controlled by the power of the First Goddess Nuwa and Nuwa's Intestines, making it seem to happen silently to the people on several continents.

The "Extraterrestrial Demons" continuously brought back the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm, accomplishing in three hours what would have taken a hundred years to achieve.

Nuwa's intestines devoured the resources plundered from the Mountain and Sea Realm over the past hundred years, which naturally manifested on the entire Earth, or rather, the Earth is now a part of Nuwa's intestines.

The changes happening behind the scenes were only visible to Li Jun and Nuwa's Intestines, but the changes in the outside world were visible to the naked eye. In fact, this news had already spread to some groups in various countries around the world before.

They simply didn't have much time or energy to focus on this before; they only had one day to fight a war that would last a thousand years.

Li Jun, however, was much more relaxed at this moment: "Just how big will it get?"

The First Goddess Nuwa said, "That depends on how big the Mountain and Sea Realm becomes, and how big a piece you can grab from it."
