He stared at Old Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling Ding Huan’s scorching gaze, this six-eared macaque was terrified. It thought to itself, *Big Brother, I’ve already been very cooperative. I’ll write whatever you want me to write.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Six, you should know the Seventy-Two Transformations, right? No, wait, it should be the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches transformations, right? Hurry up and write them down. And all those great divine abilities of yours, write those down too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan looked at Old Six with the eyes of a big bad wolf, but his tone was as warm as a grandfather’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cannot write them...\" Old Six only wrote these four words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\" Although Ding Huan only hummed, the severity contained in his voice was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Six hurriedly wrote, \"These are Daoist techniques; they require oral transmission from a master. They cannot be put into writing, or rather, my current ability is not enough to turn them into text. Besides, this paper wouldn't be able to withstand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Ding Huan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It means this kind of spell must be passed down through divine sense, and it also requires one's cultivation to reach a certain realm. For example, if I were to pass this divine ability to you, you would need to reach at least the Golden Immortal realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at what Old Six wrote, Ding Huan felt a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought he could obtain ancient Daoist cultivation techniques, but it was just this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Immortal? Heh, he shouldn't even bother dreaming about that in this lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it think the current Earth was still the primordial Earth Star? With abundant heaven and earth spiritual energy? Nowadays, Earth doesn't even have spiritual roots left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, this Old Six would discover that it could only cultivate up to a level nine genetic beast at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how impressive you were in your past life, once you come to the Earth Star in its third reincarnation, you have to curl up and behave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you a six-eared macaque? I heard the six-eared macaque is one of the four monkeys of the chaotic world, capable of knowing the past and future. How did you end up being plotted against?\" Ding Huan mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan didn't have any good feelings toward this Old Six; the guy had almost no sense of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Six also felt a bit dejected. After a while, it wrote, \"The strength of a Saint is too great; they can obscure the heavenly secrets. I only saw things vaguely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan didn't bother reminding Old Six. Seeing things vaguely meant there was a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I've asked what I needed to ask. You can go. Remember, you can go to Thousand Tangle Mountain to cultivate, but you must not harm a single human. Otherwise, I can find you easily.\" Ding Huan waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning this information, he had no more interest in Old Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those ancient mythological figures, he had already seen too many novels about them; he didn't need Old Six to introduce them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks.\" Old Six responded excitedly. Its body turned into a gray shadow, darting out the window and disappearing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing really didn't have much sense of gratitude. From beginning to end, it never said thank you, only saying it now that he was letting it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this thank you had nothing to do with the grace of saving its life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Huan didn't care; he never liked monkeys much anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today he had learned many secrets about ancient immortals and gods, but what was the use? He was still struggling on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a step back, even if he left Earth in a year and his luck was decent enough to reach the Changyi Continent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what? The spiritual energy on the Changyi Continent was only slightly better than Earth's, and only by a limited amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, let's help Kong Dan make the physical quality genetic potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After helping Kong Dan, he would drop by the Blade Washing Society, then go back to cultivate to a level six genetic cultivator before visiting the Genetic Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Genetic Alliance claimed to have innate experts; he needed to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daka Defense Line Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This airport had only been built for half a year and could be considered the most heavily guarded airport on Earth. In this place, without permission, even a mosquito flying over would be hit by anti-aircraft guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, three planes were flying in from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, the airport should be filled with heavily armed federal soldiers right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, not a single soldier could be seen here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the three planes was a civilian airliner, and on both sides were Huaxia X99 fighter jets, hailed as the strongest fighter jets on Earth, bar none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fighter jets hovered in the sky, and the civilian airliner landed directly on the runway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airliner only slid for a dozen meters before stopping; it was almost no different from a vertical landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was that this landing method made the passenger experience slightly better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the airliner stopped, the two fighter jets landed vertically, parking on either side of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several buses had already driven up to the airliner, and the people inside began to disembark and board the buses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks so desolate here.\" A student couldn't help but say, noticing there was no terminal building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention a terminal, as far as the eye could see, apart from the military camp, there were no residential areas. High-rise buildings? Those were even less existent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mentor from Zhenyu Academy said, \"Before the Human Corridor defense line was established, this place was a pile of genetic beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The federal army and cultivators drove these genetic beasts away, which is why they established the defense line airport here. Do you think there would be residents here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication was that not only were there no residents, but even the countries that had existed here had migrated away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another team leader said, \"You heard the roar of the artillery, right? That means the fighting is still ongoing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A strong country is truly important.\" Another student sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone understood what he meant, and for a moment, they fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huaxia was full of primitive mountain ranges, and there was no telling how many genetic beasts there were. But Huaxia was currently the best-preserved country, and the reason was that Huaxia was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because Huaxia was strong that they were able to come here to support the Human Corridor defense line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bus convoy drove for half an hour before slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the people who came to assist this time were students and teachers from the ten major academies of Blue Star. When they saw the scene outside the window, they were all shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this a defense line?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply a city of steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those defensive fortresses and firepower bunkers standing tall were all wrapped in steel on the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking from afar, it gave off a cold, murderous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicles stopped in a plaza amidst these steel structures. Before everyone could get off, the roaring sounds from afar became even more dense and loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the sounds of continuous artillery bombardment and the repeated assault of infiltration-explosion long spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, pay attention. Genetic beasts are currently attacking the Human Corridor defense line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, form small teams by your respective units. Follow me into the defense line first, then listen for commands. Do not charge into the beast horde at will.\" A loud voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the leader of the Huaxia support team for the Human Corridor defense line, Chen Dongqin, the Director of the Huacheng Security Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone followed behind Chen Dongqin, rushing toward the direction where the sound of gunfire originated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Chong and Ai Xi followed closely behind Guo Qingrong. Guo Qingrong was the lead mentor for the Dahan Yi Academy this time. Including Guo Qingrong, the Dahan Yi Academy had brought eleven people in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't the most people, nor was it the fewest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't run around, remember to follow behind me, and absolutely do not charge into the beast horde.\" Guo Qingrong specifically instructed the ten students behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Chong chuckled and said, \"Mentor Guo, we are on the defense line, the defending side. As long as we aren't stupid, we won't charge out of the defense line into the beast horde, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Chen had just said it once, and now Guo Qingrong was saying it again; Fang Chong felt it was a bit redundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Qingrong snorted coldly, \"You'll understand what it means in a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of people moved very quickly. In just over ten minutes, they rushed along the steel slope onto the defense line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fang Chong finally understood what Director Chen meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defense wall was indeed as he had imagined—not only was it high, but it was also a full dozen zhang wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was on the wall? At least several thousand beasts had actually charged onto the wall. Outside the steel wall, even more pitch-black genetic beasts were pouncing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various high-powered artillery shells, death laser beams, and infiltration-explosion long spears were all pouring out death tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no matter how many shells and laser beams were poured out, the genetic beasts kept pouncing over endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious wall was covered in genetic beasts, and these beasts were constantly devouring the lives of the soldiers guarding here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for experts leading the way to block these waves of beast attacks, relying solely on thermal weapons, these beasts would have long since assisted the tidal wave of genetic beasts outside in breaking through the defense line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Chong felt his scalp tingle. From the moment they requested support from the ten major academies of Blue Star, even requiring him, a first-year student, to assist, he knew the situation wouldn't be simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never imagined the situation had reached such a critical point. This terrifying attack made it seem like the Human Corridor defense line might fall at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Dongqin shouted loudly, \"There's no time to reorganize. Each unit forms a small team. Clear the beasts on the defense line first and rescue the trapped people. Follow me and kill...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chen Dongqin took the lead and pounced toward a group of genetic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told others not to charge into the genetic beast horde, yet he was the first to violate this rule himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Students of Dahan Yi Academy, all follow by my side.\" After Guo Qingrong finished speaking, he also took the lead and charged toward a group of genetic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Chong saw that this group of genetic beasts had just torn apart several guarding soldiers; how could he care about holding back any techniques?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he even reached the genetic beast group, he fired a One-Yang Finger blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A level one genetic beast tiger was pouncing toward a soldier who had just escaped death, and it was hit squarely by Fang Chong's One-Yang Finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the tiger's head was hard, it fell from the air, dead as a doornail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, so powerful...\" Guo Qingrong saw Fang Chong point casually, and a level one beast fell to the ground dead, blood gushing from its tiger head. He exclaimed in pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment, he was even more stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he saw Ai Xi raise her hand and make a slash, splitting a horned mutant beast directly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>",1944,"2026-06-17T23:21:20.864Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0bf3a4c74051544765be1d67a761035e5d7fd05fc9f06c1e1287bd71e29dbede","after-the-myth-chapter-87","after-the-myth-chapter-85",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-myth-cover.jpg"]
