Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast-Chapter 704: Long Time No See (I)

"The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Chen Chu stood on the balcony trying to call Yan Ruoyi, but was faced with an automated message. This usually meant that the phone was tucked away in a storage space.

It looked like her awakening this time wasn't just about restoring her soul. A faint smile appeared on Chen Chu's face. He was genuinely happy for Yan Ruoyi's transformation.

Just as he was thinking about messaging Bai Yunfeng, his smartwatch flickered slightly, signaling an incoming document.

Chen Chu’s smartwatch was classified, accessible only to high-ranking members of the Federation. Since a file was being transmitted at this moment, it had to be something important. He tapped the watch lightly.

Buzz!

A beam of blue light shot out from the smartwatch, creating a projection of text in the air.

"My lord, the interrogation of the aliens subdued today has been completed. Here is a summarized report.

"The aliens are from a race called the Kuerta Dholakur, which translates to ‘Tyrannosaur Civilization.’ The rulers of this civilization are known as the Tyrannosaur Warlords.

"Through information obtained via the spiritual awakening link, comparisons indicate that this race is located in an unknown region of the mythical world. No records of the human race or the Purgatory Clan have been found in this area.

"Due to the impact between the Blue Planet and the mythical world, rifts appeared in their tribe's territory, and they sent a few squads to investigate. These squads possessed an overall strength of the Seventh Heavenly Realm.

"This race is widespread, consisting of seven major tribes. Their chiefs are known as Tyrannosaur Kings at the mythical level, while above them is a Tyrannosaur Warlord, estimated to be at the heavenly king level."

Images of the tyrannosaur tribe were displayed alongside the text. They were about four meters tall and rode mutated beasts over twenty meters long that looked like tyrannosaurs. Their bodies were somewhat humanoid, and they wore rugged garments made from beast-hide.

Aside from their faces, the rest of their bodies were covered in black scales. Their arms ended in sharp claws, their foreheads protruded in a primitive way, and their eyes were fierce and ruthless.

"So the impact of the worlds created a connection to a mid-tier alien civilization?" Chen Chu murmured thoughtfully.

The Federation categorized alien civilizations in the mythical world into four levels. Low-tier civilizations were overseen by mythical-level aliens, mid-tier ones by heavenly-king-level aliens, and high-tier ones by supreme-level powerhouses.

Beyond that, there were ancient civilizations ruled by emperor-level beings, such as the Purgatory Clan.

From the intelligence gathered by powerhouses like Heavenly Kings Xuanwu and Jiuyou, who had ventured deep into Purgatory Clan territory, the Federation had obtained information not only on the eight great empires, but also on the number of high-level combatants.

Each empire possessed at least two demon-god-level powerhouses. Beyond them, legends also spoke of a single primordial-ancestor-level entity.

However, this demon lord had been in slumber for tens of thousands of years. If it had awakened, humanity and the two other civilizations fighting against the Purgatory Clan would have been destroyed long ago.

All things considered, the Human Federation, with three supreme-level powerhouses, eleven heavenly-king-level beings, and dozens of king-level powerhouses, was stronger than many alien civilizations, even including the Alliance of Gods.

Of course, this comparison only applied to the surrounding regions. The mythical world was unimaginably vast, and no one knew what powerful civilizations could exist in the far distance.

Chen Chu pondered for a moment before sending a message to the military’s Blue Planet Division. "Closely monitor all rift passages, especially those connected to the Tyrannosaur civilization.

"This race is likely to send more people to investigate. When that happens, organize a detailed report on their civilization’s culture, resources, and surrounding environment. The more comprehensive, the better."

Interrogations of alien civilizations like this were highly resource intensive. They were mainly conducted by cultivators with awakened spiritual abilities. Although communication was possible through will resonance, the Federation always forcibly shattered the subject's will to extract their memories, ensuring there was no deception or misinformation.

Shortly after Chen Chu issued his order, the other side quickly sent a receipt of acknowledgement. Only then did he turn off his smartwatch.

His return this time wasn’t for a family visit. He was stationed on the Blue Planet to handle the appearance of potential aliens.

When the mythical era began fifty years ago, alien beings emerged as well. They were subdued by the First Councilor and other powerhouses, and in the process, they obtained some information about the mythical world.

Later, when the three largest passages opened, human cultivators who had grown stronger entered the mythical world and wiped out primitive and brutal low-tier civilizations with populations in the hundreds of thousands.

The land that once belonged to these civilizations was now part of the Human Federation's territory.

Back in the living room, Chen Chu greeted Zhang Xiaolan and Chen Hu. "Mom, Ah Hu, I'm going upstairs to cultivate."

Zhang Xiaolan was on the phone with someone. When she heard Chen Chu, she simply nodded in response.

On the second floor, Chen Chu's room was just as he had left it months ago, clean and untouched. In the aquarium where he once kept the six-horned salamander, two goldfish swam lazily.

Looking at the aquarium, a wave of nostalgia washed over Chen Chu. Who would have thought that tiny six-horned salamander, once smaller than a palm, would grow into a 1,500-meter colossal beast that looked like a small mountain range?

Chen Chu had a feeling that decades or even centuries from now, when he stood at the pinnacle of the mythical world, this aquarium would become a priceless antique. After all, this was once the very first home of the Destructive Dragon Emperor, who now soared through the sky.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu chuckled. Then, the next moment, he vanished.

With Chen Chu's current cultivation level, training in the outside world would absorb all transcendent energy within hundreds of kilometers and create an energy vacuum. Furthermore, the mere fluctuations of his high-level law power were even more dangerous, capable of instantly shattering the consciousness of any ordinary person nearby.

In a vast and desolate world, the land was heavy and solid. Black gales howled through the sky, and blue thunderbolts rumbled. High above, a golden sun blazed, radiating intense heat.

On the peak of a towering black mountain that stretched ten thousand meters into the sky, Chen Chu appeared out of thin air. A profound sense of control over heaven and earth surged within him.

Now that this world had become a true plane, Chen Chu could enter and exit at will. Hidden deep within a dimensional rift, its vast expanse was equivalent to an entire province.

It was a world that belonged solely to him. Not only could he move in and out at will, but he could also bring other beings and objects inside.

However, this world was filled with violent elemental forces. Any ordinary person who entered would be torn apart instantly, and even objects would gradually erode and break down over time.

This world was crucial to Chen Chu, forming the foundation of his path to ascension. Until he reached the supreme level, he wouldn’t bring anyone inside, nor could he enter or exit freely during battle.

This was because each time Chen Chu entered his planar world, he would leave behind a coordinate in the outside world. If an enemy discovered it and used it to destroy this world, the consequences would be devastating, even if he survived.

Amid the raging black gales, strong enough to tear high-level cultivators apart, Chen Chu hovered in the air, with a thought echoing through his mind. Burn 10,000 attribute points to enter the state of law epiphany.

Before reaching the king level, burning 1,000 attribute points was enough for Chen Chu to enter an epiphany state. After his breakthrough, however, the cost had increased tenfold.

Comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, verifying them, and refining his own law path consumed an immense amount of attribute points. 1,000 points could be exhausted in an instant.

His attribute points immediately fell from 25,810 to 15,810. A surge of immense energy rose within him, forming an epiphany aura that enveloped him entirely.
