I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

"Generations, you have come..."

The sound echoed throughout the entire Yu Ruins.

Wang Wei was taken aback.

He looked at the woman in plain clothes.

She stood there, her clothes fluttering in the moonlight, her long hair as black as ink, her face expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Were you waiting for me?" Wang Wei asked instinctively.

The woman in plain clothes scrutinized Wang Wei for a moment, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Man of later generations, how can you be so narcissistic?"

Wang Wei looked slightly taken aback.

He had imagined countless opening remarks—tragic, solemn, mysterious—but he never expected to be rebuked by an ancient ancestor.

After a moment's thought, he decided to ignore that topic and get straight to the point: "Senior, where is this place?"

"Yu," the woman in plain clothes replied with a single word, concise and to the point.

"Where are the people here?" Wang Wei pressed.

The woman in plain clothes did not answer this time, but instead said, "You have ruined my dream."

Wang Wei's gaze sharpened.

The dream she spoke of must have been the disappearing figures of the people he had encountered along the way.

If this place truly is the former Yu Dynasty, then he can be considered a legitimate descendant.

Having gone through so much hardship to reach the ruins of their ancestors, normally, even if they didn't give them all the heritage of the Yu Dynasty, this ancestor should at least give them a share of the legacy.

Why do I feel like I need to take responsibility now?

The woman in plain clothes seemed to see through what Wang Wei was thinking and slowly said, "You're not only narcissistic, but you also have pretty high hopes."

A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Wang Wei's face.

"You flatter me, senior."

"After all this time," the woman in white said softly, "finally, a living person has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei's heart skipped a beat.

How long has this place existed?

How long did the woman in plain clothes stay here?

Although this place is magnificent and spectacular, it is devoid of any human presence.

Staying here for too long, the endless loneliness can drive a person crazy.

This woman in plain clothes seems a bit off...

There was silence for a moment.

The woman in plain clothes slowly put her hands behind her back, then changed the subject: "As your descendant, I should indeed bestow something upon you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei replied, "You're too kind, senior."

The woman in plain clothes continued, "How about I give you this place...?"

Wang Wei's pupils contracted.

He sensed a conspiracy.

Instead of feeling joy, Wang Wei became wary.

"Don't you want it?" Seeing Wang Wei's silence, the woman in plain clothes suddenly turned cold. "Then how about you stay here with me?"

"No way!" Wang Wei resolutely refused.

"Reason?" The woman in plain clothes stared at Wang Wei, as if she would forcibly keep him if he couldn't provide a reasonable explanation.

Wang Wei took a deep breath.

"To be honest," his voice deepened, "the humans outside are waiting for me to return."

He paused, his gaze meeting that of the woman in plain clothes.

"I am the prophet and savior of humanity today."

The woman in plain clothes was taken aback.

Wang Wei continued, "Now, humanity is not only facing the threat of calamities and strange beasts, but also extraterrestrial humans. If I don't go back, humanity will be in grave danger."

silence.

The wind on the long bridge stopped, the moonlight froze, and the Milky Way ceased to flow.

In the entire Yu Ruins, only two people remained, their eyes meeting.

"Our dynasty has made thorough preparations, ensuring peace and security for future generations." The woman in plain clothes finally spoke, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. "The outside world..."

"Senior, ten thousand years have passed in the outside world," Wang Wei interrupted her softly.

The woman in plain clothes was taken aback, her deep black pupils widening slightly.

"Has it really been that long...?"

For the first time, she experienced emotional fluctuations.

Taking the opportunity, Wang Wei pressed further, "Senior, don't you know what's happening outside?"

The woman in plain clothes shook her head and murmured, "This place is completely isolated from the outside world."

Wang Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. That made things much easier.

"Tell me," the woman in plain clothes suddenly said, her voice becoming steady and carrying an undeniable air of authority, "what happened in the afterlife after our dynasty abruptly ended. There can be no lies."

Wang Wei said solemnly, "Senior, rest assured, I swear on the human race that every word I say is true."

"After the Yu Dynasty, according to historical records, came the Great Xia Dynasty..."

Wang Wei narrated with great emotion, and the woman in plain clothes listened intently.

On the other side, in the Kashgar Mountains, the battle had become extremely fierce.

Li An and his allies fought their way through the mountains and were now close to their heart.

The endless surge of beasts made the group feel like a small boat in a vast black ocean, with the constant threat of capsizing.

The man in black threw out sealing metal pieces one after another, which pieced together a broken array of runes in the air, barely blocking the attacks of the swarming beasts.

Li An walked at the forefront, and the ice crystals stopped falling and instead condensed into a rushing white river.

She was covered in black bloodstains, it was hard to tell whether they were from the beast or her own.

Among the crowd, only Old Liu remained silent.

"roar--"

Countless thunderous beasts roared in unison, and terrifying arcs of electricity pierced through the crimson mist, blasting towards the crowd once more.

"collapse--"

The already crumbling rune array was torn open with a huge gash.

An electric arc entered through the gap, exploded, and the three men in black fell to the ground without a sound.

"Whoosh—" Hundreds of metal plates shot out from behind, barely stabilizing the damaged array.

"Charge in!" Old Liu said in a deep voice. "If we keep at this rate, we'll have to retreat before we see the Beast King."

Upon hearing this, the group of men in black did not hesitate and attached another type of metal plate to their bodies.

"boom--"

"boom--"

A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from their bodies, and bursts of supernatural power far exceeding SSS level erupted from them.

Amplification Runes!

Li An glanced sideways with his gray eyes, then looked away.

She raised her hand, and countless white ice crystals condensed in front of her. A giant white dragon formed from the ice crystals rushed into the depths of the beast tide.

"Splash—"

The strange beasts along the way were frozen, shattered, and disappeared.

Within a radius of several kilometers, the beast tide has cleared a vacuum zone, and it continues to expand.

"Go!" Dewey shouted.

The group shot out and sped towards the heart of the mountain range along the passage carved out by the ice dragon.

However, just as the group was about to reach the heart of the mountains—

The overwhelming tide of beasts suddenly receded like a receding tide.

A cold voice rang out: "Human race."

As the voice faded, a golden-eyed beast appeared directly in front of them.

Dewey's expression brightened upon seeing this, and he was about to order an attack—

Within the crimson mist, countless golden-eyed mythical beasts appeared.

Densely packed, blotting out the sky and the sun.

His golden pupils, like a starry sea, stared intently at Li An and the others.

"this……"

Everyone froze.

The Alliance man in black, his knife suspended in mid-air, paused for a moment.
