[-300 million Qi Fortune Value]

[Server Upgrading]

A number appeared in Ning Zheng's mind out of nowhere.

The square black box in Ning Zheng's hand was densely covered with one pattern after another.

The void suddenly tore open.

Amid the countless chaotic currents, a bizarre, writhing jade humanoid flew out and crashed into the black box.

Next to the humanoid, a roar appeared, speaking dialect similar to the Longevity Dynasty era, with an indistinct voice: "Who... who is..."

With a clatter.

The space closed.

Ning Zheng again saw within the turbulence, another black ancient jade scroll tearing through, rising into the unknown black statue's hand.

The third one...

The fourth one...

One treasure after another flew in, and Ning Zheng saw some strange scenes, what could be the largest in history.

Some scenes even startled Ning Zheng, as he seemed to glimpse familiar figures from the Longevity Dynasty, Firewood Dynasty, Divine Statue Era...yet they were both familiar and unfamiliar, as if in a parallel space-time.

"No idea how much stuff was stolen." Ning Zheng thought to himself, "But this time, it's not Bai Xingling that was stolen, it's other strange creatures."

Ning Zheng looked at the Sword Casting Manor box being reorganized, "Back then I couldn't understand, but now it's clear. This thing seems to be tainted with something divine, akin to the Spiritual Root essence... capable of endless transformations, absorbing divine techniques similar to Spiritual Roots for continuous growth."

This item has more potential than the divine artifact of Sun and Moon!

Just as well.

His Qi Fortune Value, despite its all-around compatibility, allows even something trivial to be conveniently enhanced.

The enhancement of an ordinary stone requires 100 million Qi Fortune Value to reach a certain level.

While enhancing an immortal stone might only require 1 million Qi Fortune Value.

The foundation of the Magical Artifact is different, hence resource utilization is also vastly different.

"Forget it, can't be bothered to deal with him..." Ning Zheng mused, pulling these thirty-seven weakened Self-Transformation Realm saints of the Masked Emperor into the server.

The former embers blacksmiths, like Dizzy, Sword Fairy, Sun Moon Su Yuniang have turned into natives, not afraid of them rebelling again.

[Current Qi Fortune Value: 11 million]

Savings, after all, have been spent.

Previously, Ning Zheng wanted to use this savings to locate the seal position of Xin Xichen sealing the Longevity Infant Emperor, but ultimately held back.

Now Ning Zheng could no longer restrain himself and spent all his savings.

"Out of money again, huh..." Ning Zheng felt a hint of unease because, just at the moment of spending the magic coins, he vaguely sensed a potential crisis emerging.

Illusion?

He looked at the Qi Fortune Value; it hadn't dropped...

"Maybe it's really just my illusion." Ning Zheng frowned.

...

Imperial Mausoleum Adventure Town.

Within the imperial mausoleum region of the Divine Statue Era, people came and went in an ancient urban settlement.

"Wow, it turned out just like we guessed, settled it last night."

"Logged in this morning, a resounding success, the Gale Emperor seemed truly powerful."

"Damn, what a thrill!"

"A slew of Self-Transformation Realm big shots, Ancestral Mythical Emperor, successfully settled in and joined our family."

...

The second day after resolving the Divine Statue Era mausoleum, the blacksmiths started organizing the entire tomb's findings.

Because they received news from the Manor Master that the Masked Emperor and others were all incorporated, they began to study how to control these Self-Transformation Realm cultivators, devising a control-series Spiritual Root.

And the whole tomb was completely devoid of resistance, large amounts of the divine statue heritage were rapidly inventoried and classified.

But unfortunately, this tomb was indeed very poor!

Far inferior to the unified Longevity Dynasty era, only a tenth of their resources.

The successive infighting of the Thirteen Countries left the mausoleum's savings scarce.

But the blacksmiths themselves did not care about this point; the savings were few, but there were plenty of hands... Why worry about money? Having over thirty Self-Transformation Realm big shots is already quite a gain.

Anyway, the resources from the Longevity Imperial Mausoleum are also sufficient.

Enough for them to replicate Spiritual Roots, continuously pouring money in, boosting a wave of realms.

In a square, a series of solemn and majestic statues were neatly arranged.

"These statues are somewhat outdated; they don't seem very suitable for replication."

"So what? The ancient geniuses, at least their Spiritual Roots are still worth something."

"Let's keep them first for some research."

"We'll see."

...

They amassed wealth everywhere, everyone smiling cheerfully.

At this moment.

Jiucai Rong was negotiating in a room with the Masked Emperor.

"Although you are currently sealed, we can place another seal on you, then you'll be free," Jiucai Rong didn't know Ning Zheng secretly applied a shackle, considering that they should research one themselves.

But Ning Zheng himself did not intend to tell them.

Just letting them research on their own, apply locks themselves..... After all, Ning Zheng secretly made sure they had a fallback, they also needed to research a way to control people, right?

At the very least, they could serve as the superficial control divine power, deceiving others.

"I'm naturally reassured."

The Masked Emperor felt he had bet correctly.

This lineage of the ancestral demon god had a very harmonious atmosphere, seemingly very reliable.

"Tell me about the origin of the Divine Window." Jiucai Rong got straight to the point, "And the name of your previous dynasty, as well as... some ancient secrets you know."

The mythological era had lasted over five million years, taking up a third of the entire history.

The longest dynasty, without a doubt.

The Longevity Dynasty and Firewood Dynasty together only lasted over five million years.

Even though they indulged in internal conflicts, they nevertheless gathered much ancient information, collecting various antiques.

"The previous dynasty, huh?"

The Masked Emperor hesitated, "Indeed, the later generations do not quite understand, because historical disruptions were intentionally erased by our era... Five million years of civilization disruption, enough to make later generations barely remember the previous dynasty."

"History should be arranged like this: Jiushui Dynasty, Firewood Dynasty, Longevity Dynasty, Divine Statue Era... and then, Chaotic Body Dynasty, Golden Man Dynasty... Human Ancestor Era!"

Were there three tombs ahead?

Chaotic Body Dynasty, Golden Man Dynasty, Human Ancestor Era?

The Masked Emperor briefly introduced: "The cycle prototype system from Five Elements to One Heart Realm was pioneered during our Divine Statue Era, the previous cycle system was cruder."

"The Chaotic Body Era was a time of chaotic internal cycle cultivation, resulting in a large number of mutated human species: Long-legged Country, Eight-armed Country, Big Head Country... many more."

"They even proposed an idea of external artificial circulation!" The Masked Emperor revealed a hint of peculiar expression.

"External circulation?" Jiucai Rong grew surprised.

"Yes." The Masked Emperor said: "They couldn't understand the internal cycle, so they simply added new cycles. During that era, there were no divine weapons... They added cycles to limbs, organs, for instance, while we have fixed five elements, they could have hundreds of elements..."

"Even a seemingly normal person might have three hearts forming a new heart cycle, a bunch of livers forming a liver cycle."

That era was the era of flesh and blood weaponry.

But the side effects were extremely obvious.

Flesh and blood rejection reactions.

The undying flesh system primarily focused on flesh and blood, the stronger the cultivator, the stronger the rejection reaction.

The current low-tier cultivators face punishment, why is it said that cutting off hands, feet, or removing organs is brutal torture?

Because with deficient limbs, they cannot cultivate to the perfection of five elements, four viscera, they are simply ruined.

They install other limbs, it's impossible to cultivate to perfection.

Even, some powerful cultivators, when their organs deteriorate, they use special artificial organs to compensate for internal operations, rather than transplanting a weaker cultivator's organs?

Cultivator organs are everywhere, why use such expensive ones, of course due to rejection reactions.

But this Chaotic Body Era, adding external circulation, was simply too brutal!

Their rejection reactions, no wonder they would mutate, distort, turning into various mutant human species.

"If we want to attack the imperial mausoleum of the Chaotic Body Dynasty, the thirty-seven of us can easily manage."

The Masked Emperor smiled, "Their trump card is strong, others may not be able to seize it! Even you may find it tricky, but we restrain them!"

Just like the Infant Emperor restraining replicants.

They replicate people, restrain the fusion people of the previous era.

"Each profession has its own specialization." Jiucai Rong nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

They found this food chain quite favorable.

Let the Great Emperor of the Longevity Dynasty attack a Divine Statue Dynasty, then let the Divine Statue Dynasty attack a Chaotic Body Dynasty.

"As for the next Golden Man Dynasty, I'm not very sure, it's said to be a dynasty with abundant gold mining, possessing Stone-to-Gold Technique, an entire world turned into a golden world, it's said even the flora are golden..."

"Based on some clues, the Golden Man Dynasty might be the source of today's Magic Copper mines, various masters refining the mine resources methods originated from this period."

"Before that, it's even less known about the Human Ancestor Era."

The Masked Emperor briefly explained, only then did they understand the tomb's dynastic distribution.

Since the previous Longevity Dynasty, Xin Xichen and his trio attacked them, leaving them almost not taking action, naturally without opportunity to learn these knowledge.

"Before the Human Ancestor Era, was what we know as the Rongtian Era, the Human God ruled the Human Ape Era, even earlier was the era when the Human Race hadn't risen amid the Four Divine Beasts' struggle, Melting Dragon Era."

"These two eras should be extremely clear to the outside world." The Masked Emperor's narration allowed them to roughly understand the entire framework.

Jiushui Dynasty, Firewood Dynasty, Longevity Dynasty, Divine Statue Era, Chaotic Body Dynasty, Golden Man Dynasty, Human Ancestor Era, Rongtian Era, Melting Dragon Era, Sacrificial Era.

The Sacrificial Era was the initial origin.
