The Xiangzhou mainland is colorful in winter.

There is both an extremely cold state of ice and snow, and a quiet rainforest with spring all year round. Since the Holy Sect unified Xiangzhou 2,000 years ago and ended the southern and northern expeditions of the dark era, the world environment of the entire Xiangzhou has become more and more pleasant. With the development of human civilization and abundant resources, the situation of huddling at home and struggling to support the cold and cold weather has never returned.

Even in the severe winter, most people in Xiangzhou can eat and wear warm clothes. After humans meet their basic survival needs, the demand for cultural and entertainment comes into being. Especially when the real economy is relatively deserted, the development of cultural and entertainment often becomes more and more rapid.

A rally in Wanxiangyuan, Liantian City, kicked off the decline of the real economy in Xiangzhou. A three-month production movement greatly disrupted the normal order in Xiangzhou. Although the Holy Sect had done its best to help countries return to normal afterwards, its side effects were still difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, and even in the next few years, the aftermath will continue.

In this process, the biggest beneficiary is entertainment workers everywhere. When people feel depressed and tortured in real life, simple entertainment products often become the best placebo. A novel, a song, or even a celebrity scandal that has nothing to do with them can make people forget their worries for the time being and continue to work steadily.

Among them, the soldiers who are struggling on the front line of news gossip have become the trendsetters of the times.

Because compared to novels and folk art, people from Xiangzhou now pay more attention to the news stories that took place in the ruins of the prehistoric relics, the story of the demon clan's mother nest that is rumored to be able to destroy the world.

Now, it has been two months since the successful completion of the Demon's mother nest. All kinds of news about the Demon's mother nest have spread all over the world. The Holy Sect has repeatedly informed the people of the world and even invited many representative figures from the people to visit the ruins of the prehistoric lands to personally watch the construction of the Demon's mother nest.

Therefore, there are actually not many secrets about the flesh and blood fortress like a mountain, but various incredible stories and guesses are still growing. After all, compared to the serious fact that even makes countless people feel sad, people are more willing to accept those fictional stories that are full of entertainment. Those journalists who are best at processing largely on the basis of realistic materials are like fish in water. Based on some of the actual content, they fully utilize their imagination and fictionalize various conjectures.

The most popular conjecture at present is the "return home theory" by Yue Mingchao, a well-known journalist and reporter from Jinyucheng.

This Yueming Dynasty proposed a very interesting assumption: the leader of the Holy Sect is not human. He believes that since the first sect leader 2,000 years ago, the sect leaders of the Holy Sect who have inherited from generation to generation actually inherited the blood of inhuman.

The two first-generation sect masters came from a higher civilization in the endless chaotic void. Due to various reasons, they unfortunately fell into the Xiangzhou continent and had to pretend to be the natives to survive. However, higher civilizations are higher civilizations after all. Compared with the Xiangzhou people who were at a low level, the two first-generation sect masters had far better conditions in all aspects. Even in places where the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic and the spiritual wind is thin, they can quickly accumulate strength. In addition, their understanding of civilization and order is far better than that of the locals, so they can easily end the dark age and open the prelude to civilization.

However, all this is a great blessing for the people of Xiangzhou, but it is an absolute tragedy for the blood of the sect leader, because the deeper they take root in Xiangzhou, the further they are from their hometown.

The two first-generation sect masters finally disappeared in the ruins of the prehistoric lands. To the outside world, the Holy Sect claimed that they were going to explore the frontier for mankind, but in fact they were making their final attempts to find the way home.

Unfortunately, they failed, and the task of returning home became an eternal topic for later generations of sects.

This topic lasted for two thousand years. For two thousand years, the Holy Sect has led mankind to continuously expand its territory and explore the prehistoric world. On the one hand, it is certainly helping human civilization revival, but in fact it is also looking for a way home.

The demon clan’s mother nest not long ago was actually the latest exploration result. The Holy Sect finally found the legacy of the lost higher civilization and found a way home. Then, this storm that shook the world was in trouble.

Of course, with the consistent reputation of the Holy Sect, if they accuse them of making use of public and private interests, it is of course difficult to win the trust of others. Therefore, Yueming Dynasty also stated that the disaster outside the chaotic void should be real. In fact, those human compatriots are likely to have close ties with the civilization of the sect leader. The two are likely to have formed a brotherly alliance in the face of a common enemy...

This conjecture of Yueming Dynasty was full of far-fetched and subjective conjectures, but it received great welcome once it was published because it at least perfectly answered an eternal question: Why was the first sect leader so horrible?

In that dark era, why did two saints suddenly emerge? And there were no signs of appearance.

It can be said that the appearance of the first sect leader completely broke the historical laws of human society. The Yueming Dynasty's conjecture can also answer many other questions, such as why the first sect leader appeared less and less in front of the world in his later years, and chose the prehistoric relics as the burial site. Why has the Holy Sect always attached great importance to the prehistoric relics and insisted on monopolizing the mining of some of the relics...

The Holy Sect did not pay attention to the Yueming Dynasty’s conjecture.

Because there are too many similar conjectures, there are more than a dozen popular theoretical conjectures produced in Jinyu City alone. For example, some people speculate that the demon's mother nest is actually a biological test disaster at Qinglian Academy in the Third Hospital, and some people speculate that the real crisis is likely to be a hundred times more serious than the claimed one. Xiangzhou is facing a catastrophe... and so on, the Holy Sect cannot respond one by one.

And it is precisely because of these various conjectures that the truth of history can be buried.

After all, as the demon clan's mother nest becomes the focus of the entire continent, the history of the demon clan has gradually become popular. The connection between the Holy Sect and the demon clan has also been noticed by more and more people. Although it is meaningless to care about the truth 2,000 years ago today, the continent has become turbulent enough, and there is no need to continue to increase people's psychological burden.

For the people of Xiangzhou today, it is enough to know that everything is going well.

——

In fact, the construction of the mother nest was indeed smooth. In two months, a mountain-like flesh and blood fortress had completely taken root in the ruins of the prehistoric lands.

From the outside, it was a nightmare scene.

A huge scarlet ball of meat stands on the earth, countless wriggling roots wandering in the air, and the thicker tentacles penetrate deep into the earth. The spiritual wind between heaven and earth, the spiritual veins contained in the earth, and even all the order that constitutes this world are all absorbed by this mother nest and turned into capital to strengthen itself.

With the huge amount of nutrient supply, the volume of the mother nest has expanded more than ten times compared to when it was first built.

With such a size, the mother nest can nurture a long-distance warship that shuttles through the chaotic void in the body.

"However, if you continue to expand, it will be difficult to maintain the stability of this space fragment... The demon mother has the instinct to swallow everything. As long as it is given enough time, it can swallow the entire world. I must do my best to make it restrain this impulse and avoid causing the collapse of the entire space."

In the mother's nest, the voice of the sect leader came to the ears of several aristocratic families.

Nowadays, all information about the demon's mother nest will be made public to the seven major families, and all decisions will be discussed by these people.

Lu Xin, who came to represent the Li family, pondered for a while and asked, "What if it was transplanted to Xiangzhou? The spatial structure of Xiangzhou should be much more stable than here, and perhaps it can further expand the mother nest. In that case, our warships will have a larger choice."

This bold proposal surprised many people present: "Li family, are you kidding? Bring this thing back to the local area? Have you forgotten the situation when you came to visit with a civil representative before? Even the bravest ordinary people will have a mental breakdown when they witness the outline of their mother's nest. Bring this thing back to Xiangzhou, and the order that has just been restored is about to collapse again!"

Lu Xin shook his head: "But at least this risk is still under control. Otherwise, according to the current size of the mother nest, it will only be the smallest shuttle warship. Not only will the risk of long-distance voyages skyrocket, but the number of people can accommodate is limited. If the crisis in the distance is the kind that can destroy the world, what's the point if there are fewer people?"

"It is a completely unknown place. It is unwise to go there if there are too many people."

"But at least we have to become a large-scale adventure team, right? The warships now accommodate up to three people, and it is difficult to rescue them if there are problems during navigation!"

"The conditions are limited, no one can do anything about it! If there is the conditions to build a large warship, of course no one will object, but the current conditions can only build a small warship, and we should accept reality!"

"This is called "Which family can accept reality, it is simply a compromise and escape!" Lu Xin said bluntly, "The mother nest will sooner or later be built in Xiangzhou, otherwise do you plan to keep it here for the rest of your life?"

"It's a good morning and evening to land. Where exactly should I land? Next to Liantian City? Or next to your Qingyun City?"

"Anyway, don't land next to Feiyan Mountain, so you won't object, right?"

"What do you mean? I'm not for the benefit of our family! Once this thing gets out of control, the entire Xiangzhou will suffer."

"That is why the sect leader is willing to sacrifice himself and personally integrate into his mother's nest to suppress the demons. Do you want to let the sect leader's sacrifice be wasted?"

As the quarrel between the two continued, the sect leader couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It is indeed difficult to unify opinions, but it is no wonder that the risk is indeed too high, so high that even the sect leader can make a decision. It must be discussed by everyone, and once anything is discussed, there will inevitably be differences.

So often, even the sect leader hesitated in his heart: Is it really wise to rescue unknown people from unknown places so desperately?

And just as the sect leader asked him this question countless times in his heart, an unexpected message suddenly appeared in his mind.

"If you receive this message, if you receive this message, no matter what channel you use, please close it immediately! Otherwise, great disasters will come along this channel! Our civilization has been poisoned, and it is definitely not something that ordinary human civilization can compete with, so please hide yourself immediately! The chaos void is endless and vast, and it is difficult for them to locate you, but the premise is that you must never open this channel again! Unless... you can unlock this password, it means that your civilization level is enough to resist this enemy."

Afterwards, a string of inexplicable characters emerged again.

That should be the puzzle given by the sender. The sect leader read it carefully several times and confirmed that the previous message was sent in human language, but the last string of characters completely exceeded his cognitive system. If it is a riddle, it is indeed a problem that cannot be solved at all... There is only the last character, which is vaguely like a human word.
Chapter completed!
