"I don't believe in gods or anything like that; I just think they are powerful superhuman beings."
"Perhaps our current myths and legends were created by the ancients after they saw them."
More than a year has passed since the unusual event occurred. Countries around the world have contacted and cooperated with each other, although the cooperation was not in-depth, but they were generally aware of each other's situations.
"Gentlemen, we don't know when they will contact us again. Perhaps then we will obtain the method to cultivate extraordinary power."
Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath.
"Major Tao, although I know the chances are slim, if they still contact you, we should still try to find a way to establish a long-term relationship with us." The old man in the Zhongshan suit looked at Tao Jing, who was sitting upright.
"Yes, sir." Tao Jing quickly raised her hand in salute.
"Furthermore, if the cultivation method is truly obtained, the country will not hide it after equipping the troops with combat personnel. There will also be extraordinary individuals among the people."
"In case of an emergency, even combat troops cannot arrive in time. If it's like last night, every minute of delay could result in countless casualties."
"Therefore, there must be a certain number of extraordinary individuals among the common people, so we should start with the Taoist associations and martial arts associations that are spread throughout the country."
"We'll announce it to the public when it can no longer be kept secret."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people from the Taoist Association and the Martial Arts Association flushed with excitement.
"Oh, esteemed leader, you are so incredibly generous!" Huawater trembled with excitement.
The kind old man coughed lightly and smiled, "Ahem, Mr. Walter, I think your Vatican will contact them soon, so please wait patiently for news from the Vatican."
"Of course, in the spirit of humanitarianism, we will make a copy of the Illustrated Compendium of Extraordinary Creatures and distribute it to various European countries."
After all, this isn't something that can increase strength, but it also reduces the number of deaths in countries around the world, since civilians are innocent.
“What?” Bishop Walter was dumbfounded, breaking out in a cold sweat. He quickly waved his hands, “No, no, no, Oh is also a member of the Religious Association. You can’t exclude Oh.”
The menacing old man in military uniform waved his hand: "Guard, Bishop Walter is tired. Please take him back to the VIP office to rest."
"Mr. Walter, please." Two guards helped Bishop Walter out.
"No, no, oh my friend, please help!" Huawater was dumbfounded and hurriedly sought help from his friends at the religious association.
But everyone is keeping their eyes down, as if they haven't seen anything? Do you think this is Europe? And since it's their own business, they're kicking you out, the outsider.
"Boss! Boss! Oh, I can change my nationality!! Boss, Boss..." Huawater was desperately dragged out of the conference hall.
"Please give me a chance to show my skills."
Chapter Fourteen: Everyone's an Old Ancestor of Dihua, Imagining Immortals
"Hmph, any country in the world that isn't stupid knows that the world will gradually change into a form that we old folks can't understand. This is an unprecedented change since the Industrial Revolution."
"Whichever country obtains the cultivation method from them first will be far ahead, and once they are ahead, they will be ahead every step of the way. Moreover, our country must ensure that those who obtain the extraordinary cultivation method are pure and upright people of the Xia Kingdom, and secondly, righteous people who are willing to sacrifice for the people."
The fierce-looking old man in military uniform crossed his arms and spoke in a voice full of iron-bloodedness.
"Leader, please rest assured, our Taoism is not Buddhism," the old Celestial Master quickly said.
"In prosperous times, Buddha sits serenely receiving incense offerings; in chaotic times, Laozi carries his sword to save the common people. We Taoists are all people who are willing to dedicate ourselves."
At the same time, I also made up my mind that after I get the extraordinary cultivation method, I must hold another meeting with the people from various sects and make a three-point agreement with all the Taoist temples that I will never teach it to anyone who is not a disciple or grand-disciple with a righteous and benevolent heart.
Otherwise, if the leader tells you to die, you really have to die; they might even bomb your Taoist temple to the ground with missiles.
'What about us? What about our leaders?' The experts and professors were so anxious that they couldn't sit still, not hearing their leaders' questions.
The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit looked at the composed middle-aged man who had remained silent: "Xiao Chen, it's time to release the results of your investigation bureau's investigation."
The sharp-eyed middle-aged man, Chen Silong, head of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation, quickly stood up: "Yes, leader. After more than a year of speculation and evidence collection, coupled with their appearance, it has been proven that the gods and immortals in myths and legends are also superhuman beings with prototypes. So, the hells and demon realms in myths and legends should also have prototype worlds."
At this point, he looked at Zhao Aiguo, who quickly used the projector to bring up a new video.
The video shows a place resembling an underground air-raid shelter, with rows of specially made iron cages containing extraordinary creatures.
Humanoid creatures that wear masks and are called Hilichurls.
Various colors of slime with two eye spots, resembling spherical jelly balls.
A creature a meter long and as thick as an arm, resembling a centipede but with a bizarre human face, known as the Spine Worm.
There was also a beast called the Snake-Dog, which kept tearing at the cage and whose six limbs and neck could stretch out like a turtle.
"Our investigation bureau speculates that these extraordinary creatures all came from mythical worlds such as the demon realm, the monster realm, and hell."
"I wasn't entirely sure at first, but after that extraordinary person gave me the extraordinary creature encyclopedia, I became certain."
"Look at the catalog: Abyssal Monsters, Elemental Creatures, Mana Ecological Devouring Beasts, Dead Apostle Vampires. They are all categorized. You can tell from their appearance that they live in completely different environments. Scientists have also performed in-depth slices on them, and their life forms have no similarities whatsoever."
“Abyssal monsters and elemental creatures lack the essential life foundations of carbon-based life, such as cells and DNA. They are composed entirely of unknown energy and unknown matter, and their danger is entirely related to the density of energy and matter.”
"The Devouring Beasts have genes, and they have found many fragments of Earth's biological genes. It's like the genes of countless organisms are mixed together. They are not even purely carbon-based organisms; they also have some silicon-based genes. They have an unimaginable ability to utilize energy. Once the silicon-based core, known as the Spirit Seed, is destroyed, the energy collapses, causing the carbon-based physical genes and cells to disintegrate and turn into organic slime."
"They are simply the ultimate genetic organisms."
"Furthermore, considering the powers that those extraordinary individuals have already demonstrated—space portals, the ability to foresee the future, and so on—they should be the ancient extraordinary beings in our human history, the various religions of Europe, the ancient shamans, and the cultivators of our Xia Kingdom."
“We even speculate that these ancient supernatural organizations have had deep connections with each other from ancient times to the present, and that they may have appeared with the emergence of those supernatural beings and disappeared when those beings disappeared.”
Why did we come to this conclusion?
"Because our investigations around the world have revealed that the appearance of these extraordinary beings slightly alters the environment, and this change can only be detected by sophisticated instruments."
"Even after these extraordinary beings die, they decompose into unknown energy and spread into the Earth's environment. The most obvious example is elemental beings, whose death causes a period of time where the concentration of unknown energy increases in a small area."
"These energies will not disappear, but will be evenly distributed throughout the Earth's ecosystem."
"The most obvious example is that when slimes of various colors die, the death of a slime the size of a basketball will cause an increase in unknown energy within a range of more than 100 meters."
"Moreover, ordinary plants that come into contact with these unknown energies have a tiny chance of undergoing some kind of evolution, as you can see."
Chen Silong looked at Zhao Aiguo, who quickly switched the video.
In the projected video, the white laboratory was surrounded by potted plants covered with glass domes. These potted plants were all familiar plants, but they were clearly different from ordinary plants. They had stripes of various colors on their bodies, and some were even glowing.
"An ordinary mint plant absorbed the unknown energy after the fire slime died. Its leaf veins turned red and it began to generate heat on its own, reaching a maximum temperature of 67 degrees Celsius, far exceeding the tolerance limit of carbon-based organisms."
"In addition, the energy of the death of ice slimes, wind slimes, and rock slimes can also be absorbed by other plants, causing them to mutate and evolve into extraordinary plants."
"The speed of mutation and evolution completely overturns the theory of evolution. This energy is as if it has compressed hundreds of millions of years of evolution into a few days or even a few hours."
"Even animals have the potential to absorb unknown energy and mutate, but the success rate is extremely low."
"Some volunteers have also tried to be infected by this unknown energy, but humans cannot withstand this energy at all, and even if they could, they could not acquire this mysterious property like plants."
"This unknown energy should be the mysterious energy of myths and legends, such as spiritual energy, magical elements, and magic power."
"Only legendary cultivation techniques, such as magic and meditation, can be absorbed by humans..."
……
The next day
The backyard of a small villa in the center of the fruit orchard in the eastern suburbs of Yancheng.
Beneath an ancient tree, ten meters tall and half a meter thick, entirely silver without any leaves, Luo Sheng lay lazily in a hammock woven from emerald green vines, with a screen resembling a holographic projection in front of him.
This is an image captured by Buyer using hacking techniques, which he then used the power of the demon god to create a screen similar to a holographic projection.
The image shows the content of a meeting in Dinghai City.
Luo Sheng watched with great interest, finding it somewhat amusing: "Hmm, a global mysterious organization, whose myths and legends are all based on us... the demon realm, the monster realm, hell..."
They're all like ancestors of Dihua, imagining themselves as immortals.
However, it's not entirely wrong. At least the speculation that creatures come from different worlds and that elemental forces can modify the environment is correct. Humans' experience of things they have seen and experienced will always lead them to some of the truth.
Don't underestimate the wisdom that humans can unleash when faced with a sense of crisis.
"I will entrust the Awakening of Source Material to you tomorrow."
At this point, a golden notebook appeared in Luo Sheng's hand. Looking at today's changes, he frowned slightly.
"After all, it's becoming commonplace for small Devouring Beasts like Snake Dogs, Earth Roars, and Spiny Eels to drop every day."
"I'm afraid that in the next two or three months at most, the number of these highly dangerous things falling out every day will exceed one hundred."
Chapter Fifteen: Bouyer is pregnant
[World Events on June 28]
Locations: Around the world (466 locations in total)
Time of occurrence: Within 24 hours
Cause of Occurrence: Creatures from an unknown world will fall into this world, temporarily labeled with generic names based on existing similar files: 'Hilichurl', 'Elemental Slime', 'Puffy Beast', 'Crystal Butterfly', 'Spine Worm', 'Snake Dog', 'Ground Howl', 'Spiky Eel'...
Global risk level: Low to medium (may cause injury or death to some individuals, including humans or animals)
Los Saint clicked on the landing point at 466.
An image of the Earth appeared on the 'log,' marked with a dense array of white and yellow dots.
White dots represent debris that poses negligible harm, while yellow dots represent debris that could cause injury or death or alter the environment.
60% of these dropped items are in the sea, and most creatures that fall into the sea will die over time, such as Hilichurls and slimes.
Only extreme creatures like the Devouring Beasts do not die; instead, they are carried by ocean currents to the coastlines of various continents.
On the Earth's projection, all countries are yellow, indicating that they are completely unable to cope with the falling debris, which is causing civilian casualties every day.
If these countries were graded according to the level of danger they have overcome, only Xia would get a perfect score, as there have been no civilian casualties to date.
Russia, the United States, Great Britain, European countries, and Japan can pass with a score of 60.
The remaining countries didn't even reach the passing grade.
Here he specifically names and criticizes the African and South American regions, where several countries are marked in red. This proves that they cannot even deal with a single ordinary Devouring Beast, and their internal and external social danger prevention functions are completely paralyzed.
These countries have yet to establish departments to deal with falling debris, and are still playing political games of exploiting civilians without any pretense.
Los Saint frowned slightly and pointed to Honduras, a country in the red zone of South America.
Zooming in on the national map of Honduras revealed three red dots representing danger. I clicked on one of the red dots again.
The screen appears.
In the filthy slum, a man with unfocused eyes and a twisted gait walks wildly, laughing maniacally as he bites another man. There is no one watching around; all the dilapidated houses are closed off.
