Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Me?"

Zhao Niugao crossed his arms and looked up at the two moons in the sky.

"You can regard me as His agent, and everything I do is to find a way out for our world."

"Agent?"

Jiang Mian frowned slightly; it seemed the situation was already quite critical.

Apart from Jiang Li, who is suspected to be the reincarnation of the original, the other ancient gods have also taken action.

As the agents of [Red Moon], the other party should know far more inside information than they do.

The two had almost the same thought, so Ye Chenyang asked:

"Elder Zhao, just how powerful is that [Chaos] deity? Even the combined might of several ancient gods cannot compare?"

"Alas, it can't compare."

Zhao Niugao sighed softly and said helplessly:

"The authority that demigods can wield can only be called rudimentary; at the level of the old gods, it can be called law or power."

"But the core of His power is the primordial law, which transcends the laws themselves!"

"Therefore, they call the deities at this level—primordial gods!"

After saying that, he gave Ye Chenyang a look that said, "Figure it out yourself," and then turned to Jiang Mian's earlier question:

"This world is very similar to ours. In the early days of the Mist, the [Pioneers] awakened and led humanity to establish the first base city."

"But not long after, both sides reached their peak."

Jiang Mian had just recovered from the shock of the "Original Law" and the "Primordial God" when he heard the news that there was also a pinnacle here.

Following Zhao Niugao's words, she quickly made a connection.

"Is the creation of that flesh-and-blood warship related to them?"

"Um."

Zhao Niugao responded and continued:

"The apex predators engaged in a fierce battle, but unfortunately, humanity lost."

"[The Formless] has almost devoured all the base cities and absorbed the other vertices. Only [Eternal Day] remains, leading the last of humanity to eke out a living..."

Jiang Mian listened quietly as he added the details, until the final result came out, at which point a clearer line of reasoning emerged:

Despite the extreme difficulty, the "Eternal Day" of this world still managed to help the remaining humans survive to the ninth rank.

At this moment, [Formless] had absorbed the other eight vertices and was now invincible.

With no other option, this [Eternal Day] turned his gaze to the starry sky.

Although there are obstacles on the path to the universe, with the strength of a ninth-order cultivator, it is not impossible to forcefully break through them!

So the remaining humans pooled all their resources and built an "ark".

Just as they were flying into space, [Formless] made his move!

In order to stop it, after opening the path through the stars, [Eternal Day] deliberately stayed behind to cover the retreating humans.

Shortly after the battle began, Yang Ze emerged from the void and intervened in this final battle.

But the final result... is already obvious and is already laid out before Jiang Mian.

"With the combined efforts of the two [Eternal Day] beings, [Formless] was severely injured, but ultimately prevailed and boarded the 'Ark'. The flame of humanity in this world was thus extinguished."

"Yang Ze committed suicide, allowing his original nature to return to normal. The other one, on the other hand, actively merged with [Wu Xiang], causing it to fall into intermittent slumber."

Zhao Niugao sighed:

"The [Formless], which concentrates almost all the power of the pinnacle, is simply invincible unless an ancient god personally intervenes."

Although Jiang Mian was moved, he had to face a real problem.

"Old Zhao, it eventually boarded the 'Ark,' which means..."

"Yes, it's on that warship."

Zhao Niugao nodded:

"If you two had run even a little slower, it would probably have woken up. But don't worry too much, it's wary of the power of the [Red Moon], you're safe here with me."

An eerie silence descended upon the courtyard.

Now that they finally know the cause of Yang Ze's death, the two feel their minds are blank and they don't know what to say.

After a long silence, Jiang Mian finally spoke again, bringing the topic back to the present:

"Old Zhao, what do you mean by telling us to upgrade quickly?"

"Well, things have come to this point, so I'll just be frank."

Zhao Niugao sighed and stared intently at Jiang Mian:

"Inspector Jiang, they have already devised a plan, and you are the most crucial link in it. When you reach the eighth level, someone will naturally tell you what to do."

Jiang Mian felt a little uncomfortable under his intense gaze and subconsciously shrank closer to Ye Chenyang.

Damn it! She said she was set up!

Although there was a reason for it, Jiang Mian still felt uncomfortable.

At first, she just wanted to live her own peaceful life, so how did she get so deeply involved and even get dragged into this kind of thing?

That doesn't seem quite right either...

According to Ye Chenyang's prediction, even if she does nothing, the situation in this world will quickly deteriorate.

Faced with the global trends, her own choices seem insignificant.

Ye Chenyang patted Jiang Mian on the back to comfort him, but he himself fell into deep thought.

But Jiang Mian's attention was entirely focused on the so-called "plan," and he didn't notice what he was thinking at all, so he didn't digress:

"Old Zhao, what you're saying is as good as saying nothing at all. What if you send me to my death?"

"Don't worry, you won't be the one to die."

Zhao Niugao said meaningfully:

"Even if they themselves take the lead, they won't easily put you in danger."

"what?"

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Niugao's expression did not seem fake, her doubts grew stronger.

Am I that important? Really?

"Alright, alright."

Zhao Niugao clapped his hands to bring the two back to their attention and briefly explained the matter of the stone tablet.

"The two main worlds will soon reach their maximum distance. If you can use the stone tablet to overlap the two main worlds, you will receive the protection of the two 'forces'."

"At that time, raising the level significantly will not be a problem!"

"During this time, you should focus on your cultivation. I will try to find a way to get the stone tablet for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chenyang couldn't help but ask:

"Old Zhao, do you know where the stone tablet in this world is?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Niugao chuckled, "I'm pretty sure that both stone tablets from this main world are on that ship!"

Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang looked at each other in silence.

They were just talking about how dangerous the ship was, and now they want to go up there to find something...

"Although I can mobilize some of the power of the [Red Moon], I am still no match for it in a direct confrontation."

"I'll keep an eye on things for a while and try to find an opportunity. If all else fails, I'll try other options."

Zhao Niugao waved his hand, seemingly not wanting to say anything more, so the two of them didn't ask any further questions.

Anyway, I can stay here later, and there will be plenty of opportunities.

Considering that Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang had just exhausted themselves, Zhao Niugao stood up, intending to escort them to their guest rooms to rest.

But as soon as Jiang Mian stood up, the gentle protective force on her body vanished without a trace.

A sharp pain shot through her core, causing her consciousness to go blank for a moment.

The price of operating the core under overload has arrived!

Jiang Mian's legs went weak and she fell to the side, but Ye Chenyang immediately caught her.

"Mianmian?!"

"Waaah..."

Jiang Mian shrank back, feeling extremely embarrassed.

But the sharp pain in her core prevented her from speaking; she could only weakly say to Ye Chenyang:

"Brother Ye, I'm tired. Let's go to a place to rest."

"Okay, okay, rest, rest..."

Ye Chenyang's heart clenched instantly. He quickly cast a purification spell, but it was to no avail.

Core damage? Just as I expected.

Zhao Niugao stroked his beard and led the way without saying a word.

After escorting the two to a large guest room, he left on his own.

Once the core is damaged, no medicine or supplement can repair it; it can only recover on its own.

Providing a safe space for the two of them to rest is the best option.

The door slammed shut with a thud.

Ye Chenyang gently placed the whimpering Jiang Mian on the bed, lay down next to her, and became her human-shaped pillow.
