Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1877 Ancient City

‘Master Lei has helped us to take the most difficult step. As long as we follow his trail, we’ll definitely get out of this d*mn crevice!’

This thought erupted from the depths of Meng Chao’s brain along with a raging flame. It helped him dispel all his doubts and fears, and it also repaired his muscle fibers and nerve tissues that were on the verge of breaking. They were now as tough as ever.

Meng Chao growled. He no longer dwelled on how he was being squeezed by the crevice. He pushed forward with all his might and moved increasingly fast. Instead of barely inching through the crevice, he was moving more like a burning tunneling shield made of flesh and blood. Sparks and lightning flashed around him as he drilled through the hardest and darkest layers of rock at high speed. He rammed his way through them and even carved out a brand new path where there was none.

He did not know how long he remained in this state, but his body suddenly felt lighter.

No, “feeling light all over” did not even come close to describe how magical he felt at that moment.

It was not like he had been facing a wall for ten years, only to break it today.

He felt more like a fish that had lived in the deep sea for its entire life. Today, it suddenly surfaced and saw an incomparably vast world as well as an even bigger universe filled with dazzling stars.

He could also compare himself to an embryo that had stayed in its mother’s womb for too long. He was full of longing and fear for the outside world. Although he was worried that he might not be ready to face the real world, it was finally time for him to leave the womb.

“My, my body”

Meng Chao’s entire body went limp. The arduous journey earlier had drained him of all his strength, but he still gritted his teeth and knelt down on one knee. He spread his arms before nervously checking his mind and body.

Fortunately, he realized that his body and mind had not been affected. The proportions of his arms, legs, and torso were still normal, and his internal organs were still functioning properly. They were where they were supposed to be, and he still remembered the people he loved as well as the mission he shouldered.

Unfortunately, his subconscious was protesting.

It was as if he had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to “cleanse himself, transform his body, and be reborn.”

It was obvious that his body had reached the legendary Deity Realm under the nourishment of surging spirit energy. Every inch of his flesh, every cell, and every strand of his gene had been perfect in the eyes of his former self.

Yet, right now, his body seemed so bloated, clumsy, dirty, and ugly. There were traces of it being pieced together with something else. Even his genetic strands were stuffed with the most complicated and redundant information.

“This is my limit.”

Meng Chao frowned slightly and muttered to himself, “If I want to break through my limits, I have to surpass the fixed form of a human who is bound by rules. I need to strive for the Ancients’ perfect form!”

This strange thought made him shudder.

He knew that once passed through the crevice, he would arrive at a deeper level of the ancient ruins.

The ancient civilization’s power was seducing him more and more.

He had to constantly remind himself of his identity and mission.

That was the only way he would not be sucked into the supreme Ancients’ vortex of immortal realms and completely lose himself.

Meng Chao took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

He smelled sulfur as if there was a volcanic eruption and water vapor was being stirred up by the raging waves in the deep sea.

This was… He had smelled the same thing in the monster mastermind’s memory fragments. It was the scent of the ancient era.

However, he was not in the wilderness.

Instead, he was in a magnificent and glorious city that stood in the vast underground space!

“Impossible!”

Meng Chao had seen countless things in his apocalyptic memories and on Picturesque Orchid Lake’s Holy Mountain. Ordinary people would never have a chance to see such things their entire lives. Even so, Meng Chao had never seen a city like this before.

Everything that appeared in his vision had the impact of a flood breaking through a dam.

When they passed through the Supernatural Tower’s base and arrived at the ancient ruins’ surface, they already saw a vast space with an astonishing aura.

Here, in the ancient ruins’ core layer, the space was at least ten times that of the surface.

Meng Chao was in a trance.

He felt as though he had not bored into the ground. Instead, he had jumped to the surface of another planet that was ten times larger through a “super-long-distance space tunnel!”

However, the boundless space and unreachable black sky were not what surprised him the most.

The underground space seemed capable of containing ten Dragon Cities, and it was filled to the brim with the ruins of a citythat surprised him the most!

That’s right. The buildings before him towered into the clouds and looked like the residences of a mighty, miraculous god, but Meng Chao could tell that they were merely remnants.

They were not even dilapidated buildings. They were just the debris, dust, and ashes of the once glorious buildings. After billions of years, they collapsed from the ravages of war and the long passage of time!

However, even if they were just “dust” and “ashes,” they were still more magnificent than all the buildings constructed by human civilization since ancient times. Everything from the pyramids to sky gardens, to skyscrapers, and the sturdiest war fortresses could not compare.

Faced with the broken walls and “construction waste” that were more than a hundred meters tall on average, Meng Chao felt like a bacteria that had entered the human world by mistake.

Meng Chao looked at a piece of building debris that was a hundred times darker and harder than black marble but still turning into dust. It was nearly a hundred meters wide, and it led to an unknown street. Strangely enough, Meng Chao wondered if the owner of this enormous city might suddenly appear from the corner of a street.

He could not tell whether he was afraid or not.

Either way, he was looking forward to it.

Fortunately, Battle God Lei Zongchao’s scarlet afterimages were still present.

Just then, a series of burning spirit flames converged into a straight and clear path into the ancient era. It was as if the civilization of mankind had gathered all its will and courage to throw an infinitely shining javelin into the past and future. After all, human civilization was still considered young on the universe’s grand scale.

The javelin cut through the darkness and left a mark that was as red as lightning. The mark remained for a long time and pointed Meng Chao in the right direction.

“The path exists!” Meng Chao mumbled to himself.

However, his soul was crushed like a metal statue that had been frozen in an ice house for three days and three nights.

Lu Siya had disappeared.

To be more precise, the crevice had disappeared.

No, not just the crevice, but the entire rock layer where the crevice was located.

When Meng Chao looked back into the distance, the entire rock stratum that he had just trudged through with great difficulty vanished without a sound!
