I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 289: Floating Sky City, Descending to the Mortal Realm!

"The crisis is not the problem, what's important is to overcome it!"

"And if we can get through this crisis, not only can I guide Hongxuan Continent into the era of virtual information, but I can also unlock biotechnology."

The sprouts of eternal life are not entirely a bad thing. Their strong adaptability and evolutionary abilities make them treasures for cultivators.

If every cultivator can implant the sprout of eternal life within their bodies, they will be difficult to kill and will have a long lifespan. They can also evolve their forms according to the environment.

Furthermore, the sprout of eternal life can assist cultivators in accelerating their absorption of spiritual energy.

Even ordinary people without spiritual roots have a chance to embark on the path of cultivation after implanting the sprout of eternal life.

From this perspective, the sprout of eternal life is the supreme treasure that can lead a group towards the stars and genetic ascension.

Of course, in order to obtain this treasure, Zhong Cang still needs to do one thing - kill the Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life.

The best sprout of eternal life is the one that is not controlled by others.

"Indeed, crisis and opportunity are two sides of the same coin. Facing the Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life this time is indeed a calamity for the Cloud Firmament Sect, but it is also our greatest opportunity."

"As long as we win, we will prosper."

With these thoughts in mind, Zhong Cang had the idea of bringing the Floating Sky City and descending to the mortal realm to exterminate the remnants of eternal life.

At first, the Cloud Firmament Sect disagreed with this.

The mortal realm was important, but the transcendent aptitude of Zhong Cang, who was the hope of the next generation of the Cloud Firmament Sect, was even more important. The higher-ups of the sect did not want Zhong Cang to fall into danger.

However, as time passed, they gradually began to hesitate.

This hesitation was partly due to Zhong Cang's continuous persuasion.

He made a promise to the Sect Master Lin Yuan that if the situation was unfavorable, he would definitely escape first instead of letting himself be trapped.

The other reason was the continuous deterioration of the mortal realm.

Moreover, this deteriorating domain was not limited to the Azure Ash World where it originated.

Human cultivators from the Hongxuan World could enter other domains through spatial arrays.

The Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life on the other side was obviously also a powerful being capable of doing what humans could do.

As time passed, not only the Azure Ash World, but other worlds also began to experience the calamity of the remnants of eternal life.

As long as they were not completely eradicated when they appeared, the sprouts of eternal life would spread like a plague over time.

The Xuan Yuan Realm, the Cang Hai Realm, the Huang Tu Realm... the domains controlled by humans were all falling.

In this situation, the Cloud Firmament Sect naturally became anxious.

They had invested most of their energy into developing the mortal realm.

If they were to retreat, the losses suffered by the Cloud Firmament Sect would be unimaginable.

Moreover, the current situation was not something they could retreat from even if they wanted to.

The Heavenly Sacrificial Array allowed the heavenly path of Hongxuan Continent to devour the small domains of the foreign realm.

At that time, it seemed like a good thing, but now it could be seen that the current situation was a trap.

By incorporating the mortal realm as a domain, it connected the mortal realm with Hongxuan Continent. With this connection, the Heavenly Mother of Eternal Life could use the small domains of the foreign realm as a springboard to invade Hongxuan Continent.

In other words, if the Cloud Firmament Sect were to retreat, it wouldn't take long for the wave of sprouts of eternal life to appear in Hongxuan Continent and spread.

This is a scene that the Cloud Firmament Sect and other sects absolutely do not want to see.

And the bad news from the mortal realm doesn't stop there.

Worlds are different from each other, and therefore, entering the enemy's world recklessly, foreign objects will be suppressed.

Just like Zhong Cang felt the disdain of the Heavenly Dao when he was in the Xuan Yuan Realm, his Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram at that time also did not unfold smoothly.

This situation is experienced by Zhong Cang and also by the Longevity Heavenly Mother.

However, those so-called evil gods are extremely adept at adapting to their environment.

If they live in the mortal realm for a period of time, they can evolve themselves into "native" species of the Hongxuan Continent.

Once the evolution and adaptation are complete, when they enter the Hongxuan World, they will not be suppressed in any way. This is not what the Cloud Firmament Sect wants.

Therefore, the Cloud Firmament Sect, along with other sects, must suppress and quickly exterminate the sprouts of longevity in the mortal realm, denying them the opportunity to evolve.

However, the spiritual energy in the mortal realm is thin, and restrictions are placed on powerful beings entering, which means that the sects can only send Zhong Cang, the unparalleled genius of the Cloud Firmament Sect.

From this matter, Zhong Cang also has a slight fear of the exotic humans.

By using temporary retreat as bait, Cloud Firmament Sect, as well as other Dao Sects and Demon Sects, have set up such a large scheme. This can only mean that there are capable individuals on the other side, individuals with great courage.

Not everyone can easily abandon numerous worlds.

Zhong Cang does not resent the involvement of the exotic humans in the Cloud Firmament Sect's affairs. The struggle for resources is a matter of giving everything one has in the Spring and Autumn War.

They are just fighting for a better living space for their own ethnic groups.

However, while there is no resentment, Zhong Cang will not let the other side succeed. He will also fight for the rise of his own Cloud Firmament Sect.

"A Heavenly Mother of death is a good Heavenly Mother of longevity."

"Similarly, the exotic races that submit are good exotic races."

...

"Be cautious at all times. If you find an enemy that you cannot defeat, immediately retreat!"

"Don't have any thoughts of losing face. You are still young and have not yet grown. Losing to others is not shameful!"

Under Zhong Cang's persuasion, he was finally approved by the high-level members of the sect to enter the mortal realm.

While he convinced the Cloud Firmament Sect and prepared to go to the battlefield under the advice of the elders of the sect, the Azure Ash World, along with the members of the Shadow Cat Clan and other exotic humans, also watched the Cloud Firmament Sect's residence with deep gazes.

"They actually managed to withstand it with sheer strength. However, they are already at their limit. They cannot find the weakness of the remnants of longevity, so they can only engage in a battle of attrition with them. But the remnants of longevity, even among the terrifying evil gods, are known for their endlessness and difficulty to kill. In a head-on confrontation, those cultivators have no chance against the remnants of longevity."

The one who said this was not a member of the Shadow Cat Clan, but a winged member of the Feather Clan.

Her words were also recognized by the other ethnic groups.

"A battle of attrition is indeed no match for the remnants of longevity."

"If we hadn't found its weakness, all of our people would have died."

In the Azure Ash World, there were many exotic humans gathered in the Cloud Firmament Sect, numbering in the tens. They all gathered here because as the war intensified, the situation for humans worsened, and the residences of many sects were breached one by one.

In this situation, most humans gathered in the only residence of the Cloud Firmament Sect that had not been breached.

And the exotic humans who wanted to cooperate with humans naturally followed suit.

Watching the cultivators unleash various abilities and bombard the remnants of longevity over and over again, these exotic humans were amazed.

They felt the power of human cultivators.

However, even so, they did not believe that human cultivators could be a match for the remnants of longevity.

Aside from their amazement, the leaders of many ethnic groups also frowned.

They found that even in such dire circumstances, no major sect agreed to let their ethnic groups migrate.

Without a human contract, these exotic humans dare not retreat into the Hongxuan Continent.

It's a simple problem. The Hong Profound Heaven Dao has suppression over exotic humans.

Although these surviving mutants have the protection of powerful beings and can find ways to evade the suppression of the heavens, it still takes some time.

And if they enter the Hongxuan Continent without signing a contract, when they are suppressed, the various sects will rush forward and easily annihilate them.

Therefore, they dare not act rashly.

But staying in their original world is not an option either.

The current Changsheng Tianmu is already terrifying enough. With just one mistake, it can easily destroy the ecology of a realm and convert all the creatures in that realm into its own followers.

However, even such a powerful Changsheng Tianmu is not the strongest among the group of evil gods.

Those numerous evil gods have already turned the foreign races into hundreds of races. They are on the verge of collapse.

...

The evil gods and their followers are pressing closer and closer, but the cultivators have no intention of cooperating, which makes many people look grim.

Some races on the brink of extinction are even considering whether to pay the price of their freedom and become vassals of some sects.

This is trading freedom for survival.

However, the small tribes on the brink of extinction are willing to do this, but the large tribes with the protection of powerful gods are unwilling to be controlled by others.

But if the small tribes supply all the information, the negotiation chips of the large tribes will also be greatly lost.

Unwilling to fall into this situation, Xinxuan of the Yeyecat Tribe immediately spoke up after exchanging a glance with the humanoid dragon-headed Dragonman next to her: "Alright, don't worry too much. The situation won't reach the most dangerous point. The greed of the evil gods is endless. When they discover new worlds and new creatures, they will attack with all their might without us guiding them."

"We just need to wait for a while. Whether it's the Cloud Firmament Sect or the other sects in the Hongxuan Continent, they will all feel the pressure from the evil gods. At that time, they will seek our cooperation without us having to go to them."

After Xinxuan, the Dragonman sneered and said, "Don't think that becoming a vassal will bring you peace. In a peaceful environment, it might be fine, but once targeted by the evil gods, the so-called Dao and Demon sects of the Hongxuan Continent will sooner or later have to face the evil gods. Do you think those sects will treat you outsiders as anything other than cannon fodder in times of crisis?"

Small tribe: "..."

"Now, by holding our ground, we still have a glimmer of hope. If we join the Dao and Demon sects, it will be a true dead end!"

One playing the good cop, the other playing the bad cop, the large foreign tribes temporarily stabilized the emotions below.

At the same time, in order to boost the confidence of the people below, they continued to extol the power of the evil gods and emphasized that human cultivators would never be a match for them.

Joining them now would only make them cannon fodder for the Dao and Demon sects, with no place to be buried.

"Let me make it clear. Even the Dao and Demon sects cannot deal with just one Changsheng Tianmu. In three months at most, this catastrophe of eternal life will spread to the mainland of the Hongxuan Continent. At that time, they will definitely come to negotiate with us..."

"Boom!"

The dragon-headed humanoid was about to say something else.

However, before he could finish his words, a loud bang resounded from within the Cloud Firmament Sect's residence.

From that loud bang, everyone could feel a strong spatial fluctuation.

When they turned their heads to look, they found that the teleportation gate, which was guarded by many cultivators as the core, was now operating at full efficiency.

"Boom..."

The massive amount of spiritual energy and even the consumption of Supreme Grade spiritual stones caused the form of the teleportation gate to change. It transformed from a gate into a huge vortex.

Then, from within that vortex, a massive and majestic mountain slowly flew out of the gate.

"Buzz..."

The excessively massive figure and the numerous array formations caused it to affect the surrounding spiritual energy just by its presence, making the endless spiritual energy converge towards this inverted mountain like a vortex.

The Floating Sky City descended to the mortal realm.

...

"Hiss..."

The magnificent and grand Floating Sky City was awe-inspiring just to look at, leaving Shen Xuan and the Dragonkin breathless for a moment.

The exotic tribes were even more astonished when they saw the Floating Sky City.

"So powerful."

"Is this the true strength of the exotic races? (For the exotic races, only the cultivators of the Dao and Demon Sects are considered exotic.)"

"Hiss... Can they withstand this wave of calamity with their sheer strength?"

The arrival of the Floating Sky City made the people from the exotic races sigh with admiration or feel fearful.

And it wasn't just them who were shocked; the project of the Floating Sky City had some secretive characteristics.

Therefore, the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect and the other Dao Sect cultivators were seeing this massive and grand city for the first time.

When they saw this mountain flying above them and tens of thousands of cultivators flying out from within, a sense of shock appeared in the hearts of the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators.

But after the shock, what remained in their hearts was sheer joy.

"Our Cloud Firmament Sect's flag is up there. It's our treasure!"

"Hahaha, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Senior Brother Zhong Cang, I see Senior Brother Zhong Cang!"

"He's here, we're saved!"

The relentless slaughter of the remnants of the Longevity Clan had put a lot of pressure on the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators.

Now, with Zhong Cang bringing the Floating Sky City, it instantly boosted the morale of the crowd and filled them with joyous cheers.

However, while the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators were cheering, the other Dao Sect cultivators felt a bit bitter.

However, just as everyone acknowledged this and Shen Xuan's words fell, a vast and overwhelming pressure suddenly pressed down on everyone's hearts, causing their bodies and minds to freeze.

However, Shen Xuan quickly abandoned her worries and forced a smile, saying, "Don't worry, the Cloud Firmament Sect is indeed stronger than I expected, but the remnants of the Longevity Clan are even weaker. No matter what, they cannot eradicate the remnants of the Longevity Clan without finding their weaknesses!"

Shen Xuan believed that the remnants of the Longevity Clan would ultimately win this war.

"Boom!"

"This kind of treasure... The Cloud Firmament Sect has become stronger again."

Their world had been ravaged by the Longevity Gods for nearly a thousand years, and the terror and invincibility of the Longevity Gods had deeply penetrated their hearts and minds.

The others... also believed the same.

(End of this chapter)

Even if the Floating Sky City was powerful, it could only delay them for a while.

"With resources and disciples of unparalleled strength, is the Northern Region really going to produce a Transcendent Level sect?"

The hearts of the exotic tribes were also sinking. The magnificent and extraordinary Floating Sky City made them lose confidence in the seemingly invincible remnants of the Longevity Clan.

The arrival of Zhong Cang and the Floating Sky City brought joy to the Cloud Firmament Sect but mixed emotions to the other Dao Sects.

Zhong Cang made his move.

The pressure just now wasn't specifically targeted at the Night Cat Tribe and other humanoid races, but rather the overwhelming dominance that he naturally exuded when going all out.

...

"The ultimate victory will belong to the Longevity Heavenly Mother!"

And his move instantly changed the colors of the world.

Therefore, they believed that the Longevity Gods were unbeatable.
