108: Despite numerous crises, I remain calm and composed!

The woman in the sky screen casually plucked a star from between her brows.

This was exactly her magic core.

It turned out she was just a Puppet-like robot.

"For instance, this Mars-Antares star is just a small trinket the Imperial Preceptor shattered while stargazing back then."

Next was a portrait from the ancient era.

Lu Chen sat in the main seat of the Tianshu Palace.

Beside him was a young emperor.

The Ancient Immortal Emperor, First Emperor of Qin!

At this moment, heavy rain fell over the Pacific Ocean, and some corals on the seabed that should have died bloomed once more.

This heavy rain actually carried Spiritual Qi.

Perhaps it was due to the global rise in magic elements.

Various forces also detected cultivation energy contained within the rain.

At this moment, major social media platforms and forums instantly exploded!

[Lu Chen Global Support Club has been established; please private message the administrator to join]

[Lu Chen Fan Club established; please @ me to join]

...Countless fan clubs were formed directly.

As the bronze giant gate above the Pacific Ocean slowly opened, twelve bronze pillars carved with Kui Dragon patterns rose from the seabed, the night-luminescent pearls embedded atop the pillars projecting a star map sky screen.

Lu Chen's joints made a crisp sound like jade clashing; he looked at everything before him, seemingly deep in thought, feeling a faint, inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It wasn't that he recognized these things.

Rather, these things gave him a feeling as if he had seen them before.

The nether moon pendant rippled against Ning Xiwei's chest.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on Lu Chen's hand.

At this time, Lu Chen was fully fleshed out.

But his hands were still white bone.

This made it convenient for him to handle any inconveniences at any time.

As the gate slowly opened, what met everyone's eyes was a scene of distorted space-time, a new world.

They saw Corinthian columns of Greek temples blending with Chinese nine-tiered eave Xieshan-style buildings; bands of galactic light flowed over crystal steps, while a hybrid of bronze chimes and steam gears floated among the ruins.

"In 213 BC, Xu Fu taught Athenian scholars how to refine Longevity Pills here." The black-clothed female Puppet stepped through a space crack, guiding everyone into this Secret Realm illusion; she tonelessly explained the stories from ten thousand years ago, that Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

That era where magic and immortal arts were intertwined.

That was a world where ancient gods and demons roamed.

The black-clothed female Puppet continued, "However, they got the cinnabar ratio wrong..."

Before her voice finished, three God-Slaying Crossbow Arrows!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—they whistled through the air.

The black flames dancing on the arrowheads caused Morning Dew's Divine Staff to suddenly grow hot.

These black flames were things of death!

And extremely evil!

Ignis immediately spun and leaped up, her crimson hair turning into flowing magma.

Dark gold patterns appeared on her skin, a burning bone whip extended from her tailbone, and a third molten vertical pupil opened on her forehead.

When the crossbow arrows came within thirty feet of her, they suddenly vaporized into a sky full of fire butterflies—this was the "Heaven-Burning Domain" unique to the True Body of the Flame Demon.

"Where did these bugs come from! Have you seen enough?" Ignis shouted angrily, throwing flying fire into the void; her bone whip followed closely, the sound of it breaking the air directly shattering a concealment Formation three kilometers away.

Twelve Chu Clan shadow guards appeared in the flames, the tiger tally on the leader's chest glowing with green light: "By order of the Third Prince, take the skeleton's head!"

Shelley's ice crystal earrings exploded into powder, and an Absolute Zero Domain instantly froze the sea surface!

"The Third Prince? Looks like it's Chu Jian! Has the Chu Family still not learned their lesson?"

Speaking contemptuously, Shelley lightly tapped her toes, ice lotuses blooming beneath her feet, "Even Chu Ye last time was no match for us."

"Humph, how arrogant. This time it's the Twenty-Eight Mansions Grand Formation!" The shadow guard commander crushed a Jade Talisman, and phantoms of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger descended from the sky.

Lu Chen suddenly flashed to the eye of the Formation, seal script inscriptions lighting up on his fingertips, "Do you know why the First Emperor of Qin burned books and buried scholars back then? Oh, I forgot, you don't understand the history of Great Qin!"

Lu Chen bit his index finger and wrote the word "Command" in the void, "Because there are always people who mess with things, including this nondescript Formation of yours—!"

The Twenty-Eight Mansions suddenly turned their spears around, the Azure Dragon's sharp claws tearing through the shadow guards' battle Formation.

Ning Xiwei's bone sword pierced into the Formation's pivot, and the nether moon pendant released the Soul Power left behind by her mother.

"Break—!" As the black flame crossbow arrows turned to dust, she appeared even more calm.

Ning Xiwei had also grown a lot.

The battle here was also appearing on sky screens all over the world.

Naturally, it caused a sensation.

OP "Brick-Laying Daoist":

Note the video at 00:47! The Bugang Tadou he used is the orthodox Maoshan Yu Step!

1L "Vatican Psychic":

Holy Light! When that flame demon girl transformed, my cross was about to melt!

2L "Orthodox Nun":

@Northern Realm Cathedral of the Holy Mother, why are your nun robes glowing? Come out and explain; ours don't!

3L "Polar Bear":

Princess Shelley's ice lotuses are even more beautiful than last year's Aurora Festival! Won't the tourism stock prices of the Arctic Realm skyrocket by 300%!?

4L "Archaeology Debunker":

The inscriptions on the bronze pillars are Qin Seal Script! But the grammatical structure is like modern Chinese... Also, why does Lu Chen know so much about the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty? Wasn't that a unified dynasty from the ancient era? Is he really the soul of an ancient person? — Holy crap! What the f***! ψ(*｀ー´)ψ

The Council of Elders of the Arctic Realm.

Twelve ice mirrors simultaneously reflected the battlefield scenes.

The Grand Elder's snowy beard was covered in ice crystals.

There was some doubt in the old man's eyes.

But also pleasant surprise.

It seems the prophecy was not wrong.

But looking at it from every angle, why is it an undead creature?

And a skeleton at that?

And a summoned guy too!

This...!

"The Princess's Absolute Zero seems to have broken through to the sixth tier! It proves she has reached the strength of the sixth tier, truly worth celebrating." He looked at Shelley's figure in the ice mirror, "It seems that after three thousand years... the Frost Royal Family can finally reappear in glory! However..."

"That skeleton—sigh!" The old man gave a final sigh, a hint of strange helplessness in his eyes!

Another place on Earth.

The top floor of the Flame Tower.

This was the territory of the Flame Demon descendants, the Ignis Family.

Ignis's eldest uncle crushed a communication crystal and said, "Send an envoy to the East immediately! Wait..."

Looking at his niece's True Body of the Flame Demon on the live stream, he said, "Send the ancestral copy of the 'Zhurong Canon' and prepare nine thousand tons of volcanic crystals! Easterners, especially those from China, value etiquette and decorum. After all, they are a great nation of the celestial dynasty; we must be polite this time!"

Northern Realm Cathedral of the Holy Mother.

Morning Dew's Master knelt before the ice-carved statue of the Holy Mother, the "Northern Realm Apocalypse" in her hands flipping pages automatically:

"God said, the staff-bearer shall open a new testament..." When she saw the six-winged phantom of Morning Dew appearing in the book, her heart was filled with relief.

She was Morning Dew's Master and also the Great Sister (Sect Head) of the cathedral.

Having dealt with some small tails.

Lu Chen led the girls and stepped directly into the giant gate.

The moment they passed through the bronze giant gate, the space-time turbulence turned into a sky full of wild winds.
