"This mount may be ugly, but it sure looks flashy!"

Wang Yi watched Tao Incarnation and the White-clothed Empress depart and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, sketching a faint smile: "Having a mount is actually pretty nice!"

"Forget it, let's wait a bit longer!"

"The big bear is about to achieve Transcendence, I'll make him my mount then!"

"After Chi You transcends, I'll give it back to him!"

"But..."

"This big bear's personality is a bit of a pitfall!"

"It needs some adjusting first!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the Primordial images conjured up by the system, his smile growing even thicker.

...

Real world!

With the Yanhuang Heavenly Court and the Earth Star Alliance fending off the invasion of three fleets from the Lizard Empire, all the citizens plunged into a celebratory mood.

The crisis wasn't completely over, but it no longer affected their spirits.

"Wow, Tao actually has his eyes on the Iron-eating Beast big bear, that takes guts!"

"That thing, only Chi You and his eighty-one brothers could tame, can anyone else really use them as mounts?"

"I'm very curious too!"

"Iron-eating Beast big bear: What's going on? I feel like someone is scheming against me?!"

"Big bear: Just ride, if you can wake me up, you win!"

"If dumb and unmoving, what can you do?"

"It's over! The big bear is going to be taken away!"

"..."

Amid the common people's discussions, Heavenly Emperor Ying Zheng commanded the Heavenly Court and Earth Star Alliance Army, pulling the broken warships one after another into the Solar System.

Then, using Taoist Divine Abilities to analyze the internal structure of the warships, he repaired the damaged areas.

And at the fastest speed, he equipped them into the Yanhuang Heavenly Court.

"We have decrypted these warships' designs and technology. Next, using the resources of the Solar System, we'll mass-produce this type of warship to gradually build the Star Fortifications!"

Heavenly Emperor Ying Zheng didn't forget about building the Star Fortifications. Immediately after cracking the secret of the warships, he ordered the members of the Heavenly Court's manufacturing department to refine similar warships for use in the Star Fortifications.

The members of the Heavenly Court's manufacturing department didn't dare to slack off. To quickly fulfill Ying Zheng's task, they selected many Artifact Refining experts from the Earth Star Alliance and under the blessings of the Time Array, one warship after another was refined.

Thus, the Heavenly Court had its own interstellar fleet.

Meanwhile, to better command the Earth Star Alliance Army, Ying Zheng specifically incorporated them into the Heavenly Court, becoming part of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Then, equipped with the Heavenly Court's warships, they formed a Defense Formation around the Solar System, eagerly awaiting the Lizard Empire that might invade again at any moment.

...

Primordial World.

Time flew by swiftly.

Many masters with flawed hearts, fallen to the Mysterious Power, were silently brewing a grand plan to overturn the Primordial World.

Once they succeeded, Primordial would be in peril.

Hong Jun and other Weird Ancestors, though unable to enter the Primordial World, had quietly made contact with the tainted remains of corpses.

They planned to draw in the countless Mysterious Powers from the Boundary Sea to contaminate Primordial Heaven and Earth and the Great Thousand Worlds.

"Gentlemen, we have made contact with the tainted corpses, and now it's time to implement our plan!

Do you think it's better to start with the Heavenly Pool, or from other parts of Primordial?"

"The Heavenly Pool has too many experts, ordinary dark creatures would be killed by the opponents before they even enter, that place should be excluded!"

"Indeed, the experts from Primordial and Chaos are all gathered in the Heavenly Pool, we can't take that risk, we should start with the Primordial Demon Clan!

With the methods of the tainted corpses, we should be able to contaminate the Demon Race quickly!"

"No! Donghuang Taiyi and the Old Tenth of the Golden Crows have already reincarnated in the Demon Race, they are both very strong, contaminating the Demon Race would easily alert them, and thereby attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Yes! Dijun has merged with the Heavenly Dao, no one knows if he is truly dead. Once we contaminate the Demon Race, if we touch upon his sensitive points, it could easily trigger his strong reaction!"

"If not the Demon Race, then the Human Race! As the number one clan in Primordial, once we contaminate them, the Myriad Races of Primordial will be of no concern!"

"What vile nonsense is this? The Human Race is the most numerous among the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. Once they detect an invasion by the Mysterious Power, they will surely rise up and counterattack. That might interfere with our subsequent plans.

Therefore, the Human Race must be eliminated!"

"That won't work, and neither will this. Are we supposed to infect the Myriad Races?"

"Myriad Races? There are too few strong ones among them, and infecting them would be meaningless, not to mention it risks exposure. It's not worth the loss!"

"Then that leaves only the Witch Clan!"

"The Witch Clan? It's actually a decent choice. Currently, the Eleven Ancestor Witches and Ping Xin have reincarnated but their past wisdom has not awakened. Chi You and his eighty-one brothers are still relatively weak, and the other Great Witches are all in retreat, paying little attention to the affairs of the Witch Clan.

Apart from that powerful Iron-eating Beast, there seems to be no other formidable expert who can prevent the invasion of the Mysterious Power.

Once we infect the ordinary members of the Witch Clan, we can seize the opportunity to contaminate those Great Witches in retreat.

By then, the Witch Clan will be easily within our grasp."

"Correct! That Iron-eating Beast sleeps for a thousand years at a time and is low in intelligence, it won't meddle in the affairs of the Witch Clan.

There shouldn't be anything to stop us from infecting the Witch Clan!"

"Agreed! Let's go to the Witch Clan, and strive to infect them in the shortest time possible!"

As the discussion among the Weird Ancestor beings ended, the blackened transforming corpses swiftly gave orders to all Mysterious creatures in the Primordial Heaven and Earth, directing them to hurry to the Witch Clan's territory to infect all its members, turning them into Mysterious creatures.

However, just as they approached the territory of the Witch Clan, the dreaming Iron-eating Beast, Big Bear, suddenly lifted its giant head, looking in the direction of the approaching Mysterious creatures.

"Ying ying ying~"

Its two black paws scratched its head, a hint of confusion in its eyes.

Then, it lay back down on the ground and continued to sleep soundly.

But the scope of the Dream Space expanded rapidly.

In a moment, it enveloped the Mysterious creatures invading the Witch Clan's territory within it.

Subsequently, all the Mysterious creatures fell to the ground as if drugged, emitting earth-shaking snores.

The members of the Witch Clan, not understanding what was happening, quickly distanced themselves upon sensing the Dream Space of the Iron-eating Beast, Big Bear, to avoid being ensnared in it.

"Eh?! Why has the range of Elder Big Bear's Dream Space expanded?"

"I don't know! Hurry, let's go. If we're caught in Elder Big Bear's dreamscape, we could easily be mistaken for bamboo and eaten!"

"Alas! Elder Big Bear's Dream Space is becoming increasingly terrifying. At this rate, the place where we live won't last long!"

"It can't be helped! Elder Big Bear is sleeping longer these days, it's been a thousand years since the last awakening, who knows how much longer it will be!"

"Ah, it's tough when the Ancestor Witches and leader Chi You haven't awakened their past wisdom, we of the Witch Clan are somewhat lacking in strength!"

"There's nothing we can do! For now, we can only rely on Elder Big Bear!"

"..."

The members of the Witch Clan were unaware that the Iron-eating Beast had just saved them from annihilation.

Otherwise, they would certainly kneel before Big Bear in gratitude.

While sleeping, the Iron-eating Beast, Big Bear, discovered lots of delicious bamboo, all of its favorite varieties.

So, it began to gorge itself.

"Damn it! This animal has turned us into bamboo."

"It hurts so much, how can this thing be so strange, aren't we Mysterious creatures? Why are we so easily defeated in its presence?!"

"What in the world happened? Why have I turned into a green bamboo stick? Can anyone explain this to me?!"

"Mudder of god, malicious beast, get away from me, don't come near, roll away..."

"Damn it, you dare to nibble on my arm, unforgivable!"

"Ancestor, save me!"

"..."

Thus, all the Mysterious creatures that entered the territory of the Witch Clan were pulled into the dreamscape by the Iron-eating Beast, Big Bear, turning into green bamboo sticks, gnawed on by the Iron-eating Beast, Big Bear, in agonizing pain.

Moreover, after they died, they would resurrect and become different types of bamboo, continuously chewed on by the Iron-eating Beast.

This cycle repetitively continued, with no end in sight!

…
