Fabricating myths, starting with the creation of eight fictional ancient tribes

In the online world, the clamor has not subsided even after the disappearance of that all-encompassing hand.

Instead, the terrifying power of that palm strike stirred up an even more violent wave.

The forum's servers were on the verge of shutting down.

Countless posts were refreshed at that moment.

All attention was focused on the mysterious "Himedo".

"That's too strong, really too strong."

A seasoned fan of cultivation novels typed these words on the keyboard, his fingers trembling slightly.

"To turn one's hand to create clouds, and to turn it back to create rain—is this the true myth?"

"I want to know, what about the village guardian who has been standing at the entrance of the deserted village all this time?"

Who is stronger, Himejima or Himejima?

This topic immediately ignited a war of words.

"It must be Hime-dō! Didn't you see that big hand?"

They slammed two ancient powerful beings straight into the ground, so deep they couldn't be pried out!

Someone immediately retorted, their words filled with admiration for Hime-dō.

"Is that so? The village guardian is a being that even all races fear."

Another group of netizens argued their case based on reason.

"Last time, that real dragon on the Luo River didn't dare utter a single word when it saw the village guards."

This is no less impressive than Himejima's.

The two groups were arguing fiercely, their spittle practically flying off the internet.

"I don't think any one of them is the strongest."

Just then, a netizen with the ID "Humanity is Sober" posted a message.

"The strongest thing is 'rules'."

"Whether it's Ji Dao, the village guards, or even those newly awakened powerful beings,

They are all following the same rule.

"The people who set the rules, or rather, that invisible force."

That's the real terror.

This sentence silenced the previously noisy forum for a few seconds.

Everyone was puzzled about the specific meaning of "rules".

Is it a law of nature?

Or is it some unspeakable supreme deity?

The only thing that is certain is this:

In this land where mythology has been revived, Hime-dō and the village guardians...

They are all maintainers of order.

Just as everyone was discussing it.

A sudden piece of news, like a depth charge, has once again detonated across the entire internet.

[Host Gao Yanqiang has arrived at the core area of ​​the elixir of immortality!]

The title is simple and direct, yet extremely enticing.

Countless people instantly flooded into the live stream room called "Old Gao's Journey to Find Medicine".

The screen lights up.

A slightly weathered yet shrewd face appeared in front of the camera.

The background is a primeval forest shrouded in mist.

The vegetation displayed an eerie and alluring emerald green.

"Brothers, I've arrived."

Gao Yanqiang lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing something.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with fear.

It also revealed an undisguised fervor.

"If I'm not mistaken, that area glowing red ahead is where the elixir of immortality is located."

"Moreover, based on the medical books passed down in my Gao family, it is no ordinary miracle drug."

"That's the legendary—the Elixir of Immortality for the Divine Phoenix!"

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with a dense, overwhelming flood of comments.

"Holy crap! Divine Phoenix? The divine medicine that comes with the phoenix?"

"Old Gao, stop bragging! How did you know?"

"Really? Let's go check it out! Let us see for ourselves!"

Netizens eagerly inquired about the details of the "miracle drug."

I wish I could jump into the screen and find out what's going on.

Others remained rational and offered calm analyses.

"Don't be silly, the elixir of immortality is just food for powerful beings."

"Old Gao is just an ordinary person. Even if he saw it, what could he do?"

Whether or not you succeed depends entirely on your skill and luck.

"You could lose your life if you're not careful."

Gao Yanqiang looked at the comments and a sly smile appeared on his lips.

He nodded, completely agreeing with the netizen's point of view.

"This brother is right, he's sober-minded."

He adjusted the straps of his backpack.

Try to lean against a large tree to reduce your exposed area.

"Although I, Gao Yanqiang, want to get rich, I'm not stupid."

"Things of that level, even those powerful beings who can move mountains and fill seas..."

They'd fight tooth and nail to get a piece of the pie.

"What? That's suicide! We're not even good enough to be fertilizer for the miracle drug."

He paused here, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"My goal has never been an elixir of immortality."

"My target is the powerful and precious medicines that accompany the divine medicine!"

These words stunned the viewers in the live stream.

Immediately following was a chorus of exclamations of sudden realization.

"Holy crap, Lao Gao, your thinking is spot on!"

"You've broadened your perspective! That's what it means to assess the situation and act accordingly!"

"Indeed, even if we can't eat meat, drinking some soup is a way to defy fate!"

Gao Yanqiang chuckled and continued to explain.

"What many people don't know is that..."

"The elixir of immortality is a creation of heaven and earth; the places where it grows are frighteningly rich in spiritual energy."

"A variety of medicinal herbs often grow around it."

"Although these medicinal herbs cannot compare to divine medicine, each one has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones."

"For an ordinary person like me, getting my hands on even one plant is easy."

These are enough to dramatically increase one's strength, and even extend one's lifespan by sixty years!

As he spoke, he carefully moved forward.

The humus layer underfoot was thick and soft, like walking on clouds.

A faint, exotic fragrance filled the surrounding air.

Just one whiff of it makes your pores feel relaxed.

"Brothers, remember this."

While observing his surroundings, Gao Yanqiang lowered his voice to remind the audience.

"When you encounter a miraculous medicine in the wild, the most dangerous thing is not the terrain, but the companion creatures."

"Every rare and precious natural treasure is protected by a mythical beast."

"The strength of those guardian beasts may be comparable to or even far surpass that of ordinary powerful demons."

The viewers in the live stream were terrified.

"Old Gao, you still dare to go? Are you out of your mind?"

"A guardian beast? Is it a monster like that giant python from before?"

Gao Yanqiang shook his head, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Companion creatures are different from monsters that want to steal medicine."

"They are part of the divine medicine's energy, and their duty is to protect the divine medicine; they will never devour it."

"As long as I don't touch the miracle drug and don't cause it to reject me,

Those guardian beasts might not attack me.

"That's why I want to be the 'sixth one'."

Viewers in the live stream chat flooded the screen with likes and comments.

"Old Six is ​​awesome!"

"As long as I'm persistent enough, even powerful beings can't do anything to me!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! Stop talking nonsense and let us see what this miracle drug looks like!"

Looking at the barrage of urging comments, Gao Yanqiang secretly grumbled to himself.

These people who love to watch the drama unfold are really hoping to get themselves killed.

"Don't rush us. In a place like this, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin."

He pulled a compass from his pocket; the needle on the compass was spinning wildly.

Clearly, the magnetic field here has been completely disrupted.
