Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Without the intervention of terrestrial deities, the fate of mortals is predetermined from the moment of their birth.

This is an established fact in the Nine Realms. Only terrestrial immortals who possess the Heavenly Fruits, or those with great fortune like the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, have the ability to change their destiny.

Unlike the old master, Mu An, who pursues humanity more, rarely reads other people's memories directly, and rarely observes the fate lines of ordinary people.

More often than not, Mu An prefers to interact with others in a human way.

To meet in the crowd, to encounter each other in a fleeting moment.

Ye Lin's memories are not complicated; he is just an ordinary office worker.

An ordinary birth, an ordinary family, going to school step by step, and a monotonous life of going back and forth between school and home after graduation.

Like countless ordinary people in the world of shokuji (machine-making machines), he does similar things day after day, without any excitement.

Even his death was unremarkable. Due to a lack of common sense, Ye Lin was riding his electric scooter and waiting at a traffic light when he was dragged under a turning truck, without causing the slightest ripple.

It's tragic in some ways, but normal in others.

In the "world of ingenuity" dominated by nobles, most people live like this. Every year, countless ordinary people like Ye Lin die silently in some corner for various reasons.

Compared to the well-rounded cyborg nobles, humans who have never undergone genetic modification have far too many flaws and are constantly being consumed like consumables.

Mu An didn't care about these mundane things.

What truly concerned him was the mythical figure in Ye Lin's memory: the name "Creation Dao Lord" was something that made Mu An think deeply.

Unfortunately, Ye Lin was just an ordinary science student. During his school years, he racked his brains over various problems all day long, rarely read any extracurricular books, and even less did he learn about traditional myths and legends.

His limited knowledge comes from a few classic films and television shows, which are of very low reference value.

After reading Ye Lin's memories, Mu An gave up the idea of ​​wasting any more time on him.

Instead of focusing on one person, it's better to take a look at the myth of "Kouji-kai" (a world of ingenious inventions) and see what it's all about.

Mu An has always been a very proactive person, doing whatever comes to mind.

During the two hours that Ye Lin thought Mu An was thinking, Mu An followed the coordinates left behind many years ago and sent a portion of his will to the "Skillful Realm".

He was merely seeking knowledge; he did not need to physically break through the barriers of the world or traverse vast distances.

It's much easier to descend directly using one's will.

After truly understanding the myth of the "world of ingenious machines," Mu An couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

The content that Ye Lin mentioned that caught his attention was not the original myth of the "Skillful World" at all, but rather the content compiled by later generations after secondary, tertiary, and even more adaptations.

Because it was so widely circulated, Ye Lin, who didn't read many books, mistakenly believed it to be an orthodox myth.

In Mu An's mind, there was a certain probability that he would learn the information he wanted.

From the perspective of fantasy science, according to the theory of information interpenetration, if the world is divided into high-dimensional and low-dimensional, then the existence of the high-dimensional world should be able to influence the low-dimensional world in its own way.

Myths about lower-dimensional worlds are likely a reflection of higher-dimensional worlds.

With a sliver of hope, Mu An tried to learn as much as possible about the mythology of the "Skillful Realm".

He paid more attention to everything related to the Creation Dao Lord and the Five Elements.

Unfortunately, the myths of the world of knives also evolved from early humans' fear of nature and their apprehension of the unknown, and were not born out of thin air.

What Mu An cared about most was the Creation Dao Lord, who was a derivative character who did not exist in the traditional mythology of the Ingenious Realm, but was a figment of later generations' imagination.

In each of the derivative works, the image of the Creator Dao Lord is completely different, and there is no value in referencing it.

There was absolutely no information related to the Book of Creation.

It was an expected result.

……

In the days that followed, Mu An did not travel with Bai Xi and the others.

After leaving Guangzhou, Mu An refused Bai Xi's request to continue showing him around Southern Xinjiang, and instead began to explore Southern Xinjiang on his own.

Southern Xinjiang is vast, encompassing thirty-three prefectures, a territory so large that it could easily become an independent country.

Compared to the large prefectures in the heart of the Great Qi, the large prefectures in the southern borderlands are much larger, highlighting the extreme sparseness of the land.

Several large southern prefectures, such as Huazhou, Yuezhou, and Shuzhou, have an area several times larger than Qishan Road. Among the various warlords, only the northern border can compare to them in terms of the vastness of their territories.

The magnificent and treacherous Million Mountains are divided in half between the Southern Frontier and the Wu tribe. For thousands of years, the two sides have maintained an ambiguous relationship.

Rumors have long circulated in the martial arts world that the lineage of the high priest of the Witch Clan is actually a branch of the Bai family, and that the immortal spirit Gu Immortal worshipped in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is a member of the Bai family.

The two forces, which appear to be in constant conflict, actually share the same origin.

In response, Mu An stated that the rumors circulating in the martial arts world were extremely accurate.

If we only consider the highest level, the Wu Clan and the Bai Clan are indeed one family.

To be more precise, the Gu Immortal lineage of the Million Mountains came first, and then the Bai family of Southern Xinjiang came into being.

Of course, the conflict between the two sides was not entirely fake.

Over thousands of years of development, the two forces that once shared a common origin have long since become separate entities. One continues the lifestyle of the witchcraft clan, while the other has completely integrated into the culture of the Great Qi.

Except for a very small number of people at the very top, they no longer keep in touch with each other.

The friendly relations between the top leaders of both sides do not prevent their subordinates from fighting amongst themselves.

Every precious resource in the millions of mountains must be obtained through swords and bloodshed.

Every year, large-scale conflicts break out between the southern Xinjiang region and the Wu ethnic group for various reasons, resulting in considerable casualties.

The bigwigs on both sides tacitly accepted this situation, allowing their subordinates to fight each other within a controllable range, thereby tempering the fighting spirit of both sides.

The powerful figures maintain close relationships and intermarry, while those at the bottom of society have to fight tooth and nail for even the smallest resources to survive.

This is the most unique ecological pattern of southern Xinjiang and its millions of mountains.

Without extreme external stimuli, conflicts of varying scales between the two forces are the norm in this land.

……

The complex situation had nothing to do with Mu An, and he didn't care about the intricate relationship between Southern Xinjiang and the Million Mountains.

Even the alliance of feudal lords held in September, he had no intention of joining in the fun.

Just as Mu An had told Mu Ling'er at the beginning, he came to Southern Xinjiang to enjoy the scenery.

Besides its beautiful natural scenery, southern Xinjiang also boasts a unique cultural landscape.

When people in the martial arts world talk about the Southern Frontier, they inevitably mention Huazhou.

When Huazhou is mentioned, both renowned figures in the martial arts world and young heroes will smile knowingly.

Snow Moon City, the world's largest flower capital.
