866: Jiuli Bloodline

Before entering the Dream World, Yang Dian had speculated about many reasons for the appearance of the anomalies.

For example, perhaps the cause of the anomalies was a curse launched against China by a world invaded by China before it fell.

Or perhaps it was because a civilization had grown strong enough to attract the attention of some powerful entity in the Universe, leading to the descent of calamity.

But after entering the Dream World, Yang Dian pinpointed the source of the calamity almost instantly.

After all, the malice erupting from the source was so obvious, and the guidance of fate was so clear.

"That fellow suppressed in the Kunlun Phantom Heavenly Palace, huh..."

As he pondered, Xie Fei, who was in front of Yang Dian, spoke up again:

"Commander, what about them?"

Yang Dian looked back at 'Shi Sheng' and the other person, then smiled:

"You are kind-hearted."

As he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and the mirror space constructed by 'Shi Sheng' using the power of frost shattered.

"You must understand that everything in the Great Dream World exists based on your cognition and the instinctive deduction of the rules of fate, coupled with a trace of World Power."

"Even if they seem like real people, they are fake."

"Your identity in the Great Dream World should be that of an observer; you should observe the direction of the world, obtain information about the 'future,' and bring useful information back to reality, rather than immersing yourself in it."

After finishing his words, Yang Dian took Xie Fei and soared into the sky, flying toward the direction of the Kunlun Heavenly Pool.

As the two moved away, the colorful and bright South Heaven Gate plaza seemed like a painting with its pigments washed away, becoming gray, black, and dim.

Eventually, as if a true time-stop button had been pressed, light, life, and even time and space fell into complete silence, finally turning into a blank space.

This area was born because of Xie Fei, and it withered away because of Xie Fei's departure.

Until he arrives next time to breathe new vitality into it...

...

On the other side, on the way to the Kunlun Heavenly Pool.

Xie Fei looked at the ground retreating rapidly beneath his feet and couldn't help but ask:

"Commander, why do I feel like you understand my talent better than I do?"

Yang Dian couldn't help but laugh:

"Isn't that normal?"

"After all, my strength is higher than yours, and I have mastered some of the power of the rules."

"And talent is the manifestation of the rules."

"Essentially, your ability is an intertwining of the rules of fate with your body, Soul, and even a trace of your true spirit."

"It is the manifestation of the rules of fate upon you."

"Coincidentally, I have also mastered some rules of fate. After seeing the traces of the rules of fate flowing on you, I naturally understood the meaning of these traces of fate."

Xie Fei showed an expression of sudden realization:

"No wonder you can enter my Dream World."

As he spoke, a slightly conflicted expression appeared on his face again.

Seeing this expression, Yang Dian immediately guessed something:

"Are you wondering why I didn't appear immediately when you called for me the first time?"

After Xie Fei nodded, Yang Dian continued:

"Because the fluctuation of fate was not strong enough."

"After your consciousness entered the Dream World, the fluctuations of fate related to you remained in a dormant state."

"Even though my strength is far greater than yours, it is not easy to enter your Dream World without harming you."

At this point, he gave Xie Fei a deep look:

"It wasn't until you said that my sister was dating a punk that your line of fate intersected violently with mine, allowing me to follow the fluctuations of fate into your Dream World."

"You kid, you've got some nerve."

"Hehe." Xie Fei rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly, "I was afraid you wouldn't come, and also afraid of getting arrested."

"Even in a dream, I don't want to get arrested."

After laughing awkwardly twice, Xie Fei started to change the subject:

"Commander, come to think of it, me bringing back information about the future calamity should be considered a warning from fate, a caution from the world, right?"

"Commander, you have also mastered the rules of fate, so why doesn't fate warn you?"

Yang Dian curled the corners of his mouth into a smile:

"You also find it interesting, right?"

"Huh?" Xie Fei had a head full of question marks:

"Interesting?"

Does he look like he finds it interesting?

He clearly has a head full of question marks, okay!

Seeing that Yang Dian was unwilling to say more, he stopped asking.

Big shots always have their own considerations.

What if the big shot is considering some secrets about the future of the world or civilization?

Whether the big shot wants to say it is secondary; the main thing is that if the big shot says it, he won't be able to sleep peacefully after hearing it.

As a small fry, the right thing to do is just lie down and wait for China to Ascend as a whole and pull him along...

The journey was silent.

When the surrounding view became clear again, Xie Fei discovered that he had arrived in a mechanical restricted zone.

In the sky was a canopy covering the entire field of vision, mounted with long guns and heavy artillery.

On the ground was an entire expanse of land that had been turned into steel.

In the center of his vision was a ball, endless to the eye, completely crafted from metal.

"Gulp~" Xie Fei swallowed and pointed at the metal sphere that occupied more than half of his field of vision, saying:

"Commander, where is this?"

"Is this still Earth?"

"How come I didn't know there was such a place on Earth?"

Yang Dian waved his hand in front of him, and the nanobots, invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, cleared a path.

"Ahead is the Kunlun Mountain Jade Pool, where the Phantom Heavenly Palace is located."

"A great demon, suspected to be from the ancient mythological era of China, is sealed inside the Phantom Heavenly Palace. I am not yet confident in dealing with him, so we have designated this place as a military restricted zone to prevent any ordinary people from approaching."

"Actually, it's not just you."

"Many people, including some theater commanders, do not know that this place exists."

"After all, we don't know what kind of power that sealed great demon possesses. If He has the ability to become stronger the more people know about Him, then letting information about Him spread would be a big problem."

After explaining this to Xie Fei, Yang Dian was just about to call out to Lao Bai in the Dream World, wanting to ask him about the Phantom Heavenly Palace and the situation regarding the anomalies.

But before he could speak, the sky suddenly darkened.

This was very abnormal.

The Earth's sky had long been covered by an artificial canopy thousands of kilometers thick, and the natural wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and even the rising and setting of the sun and moon had long been controlled by the Chinese Meteorological Bureau.

If it got dark for no reason, it meant something had gone wrong.

As expected.

As the sky darkened, a red light emerged from the center of their vision, and then instantly occupied most of Yang Dian's field of view.

In the center of the upper half of the steel sphere used for the Seal, a red, vein-like fissure suddenly opened.

Then, a vertical pupil opened on the left and right sides of the fissure, and scarlet bull horns grew on top of its head.

A crazed smile then emerged between heaven and earth.

"Nine Li Bloodline."

"You call me a great demon?"
