Chapter 430: The Ambition of the Seven Stars

The Rashomon is carved with many Hellish yin scripts.

These ancient characters swim within the Rashomon like tadpoles.

"Kuimulang, surely we don't have to pass through the ten layers of the Rashomon just to get inside the Bureau?"

Zhang Lingxue always likes to use official titles while working.

"No need. I just checked the data, and one of the books inside told me of a secret passage."

"This secret passage can transport us directly from the first layer of the Rashomon to the Bureau."

Ye Bai finally understood why the heavily guarded Bureau could be breached in such a short time.

Aside from the reason of an inside man, there were also some bugs present.

"We can teleport directly inside the Bureau?"

Zhang Lingxue and Lan Fenghuang both found this inconceivable.

"Could it be that the high-level officials of the Bureau are all incompetent?"

"How could they not have discovered such a fatal loophole?"

Lan Fenghuang muttered.

"This is all thanks to my talent; this was written in an ancient diary and recorded with Hellish yin scripts."

"I am untalented, but I happened to have studied Hellish yin scripts, which is why I found this loophole."

"However, I suspect that among the Seven Stars, there must be someone who also knows about this loophole."

Ye Bai's words made a lot of sense.

"Then how do we enter the Bureau without alerting anyone?"

"Or should we just tell the high-level officials of the Bureau that you have finished reading all the books?"

"And that you can take over the security of the Bureau?"

Although Lan Fenghuang is the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, she does not have much management experience.

The plan she proposed had obvious loopholes.

"No, no matter how we propose it, those people have their own ways of refusing me."

"The Bureau has been managed by Zhishen Dashi for so long; this is already his territory."

"Anyone who does not submit to Zhishen Dashi has been transferred away by him."

"Those materials were clearly a show of force from Zhishen Dashi; regardless of whether I finished reading them or not, Zhishen Dashi would use various excuses to shirk responsibility."

"He might even frame us, claiming that we are Twenty-Eight Mansions imposters sent by the Seven Stars."

"Therefore, the most important thing for us is to approach the Bureau's intelligent brain."

Ye Bai offered a roundabout solution.

"Intelligent brain?"

"There's such a thing?"

"Doesn't the Yan Country only have one intelligent brain called Nuwa?"

"When did another intelligent brain appear?"

Lan Fenghuang felt her brain was no longer enough; it felt like she was about to grow a new one.

"I read the data, and the hidden information is that the Yan Country originally had two intelligent brains."

"One was called Nuwa, and the other was called Fuxi."

"Nuwa is in the Qi Luck Hall, while Fuxi is in the Bureau."

"Fuxi controls most of the Bureau's security systems and mechanical soldiers."

"If we can persuade Fuxi, we have a high chance of controlling the entire Bureau."

Ye Bai's eyes were filled with ambition.

He actually had another goal he hadn't mentioned.

Ye Bai wanted Fuxi to resurrect the Steel Dragon.

As the crystallization of the highest technology, the Steel Dragon's energy core had already been recovered by Ye Bai.

But its consciousness had been extinguished.

Ye Bai wanted the Fuxi system to help him rebuild the Steel Dragon's consciousness and keep the Steel Dragon here to guard the Bureau.

Many of the indescribable entities detained by the Bureau could cause great harm to the world.

Therefore, this place must be stabilized to prevent trouble before it happens.

"Fine, you use your brains, I'll just do the work."

Lan Fenghuang's thinking was very simple: obey orders.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions were all carefully selected by Soul Weapons, and their greatest characteristic was loyalty to the Yan Country.

Therefore, the Twenty-Eight Mansions were relatively kind to one another; there was no competitive relationship between them.

"Then I will begin to activate the yin scripts and open the teleportation array."

Ye Bai summoned the Nether Hell Wolf.

This large Hellish Pet Beast injected yin energy directly into the yin scripts on the Rashomon.

Suddenly, yin energy surged to the heavens.

The cameras outside the gate were blocked by the yin energy, so it was impossible to see what was happening there.

The yin scripts gathered together like tadpoles, arranging themselves into individual characters.

Vajra chains shot out from the yin scripts, binding Ye Bai tightly.

"Everyone, do not struggle violently; this is the teleportation array to the Bureau."

Ye Bai cautioned Zhang Lingxue and Lan Fenghuang.

He was the first to be pulled into the body of Rashomon by the diamond chains.

Lan Fenghuang and Zhang Lingxue glanced at each other; they both chose to listen to Ye Bai and let the diamond chains bind them.

It was as if they had entered the Shadow Hell, allowing themselves to be dragged along by the diamond chains.

Within the Shadow, they could not breathe, nor could they even move, and could only watch helplessly as they rushed toward an unknown distance.

Bureau.

This was a super-large institution.

The entire Bureau housed approximately two hundred thousand people, specifically tasked with researching certain indescribable objects.

Some researchers even enslaved these indescribable objects, turning them into their own Pet Beasts.

They studied the strengths and weaknesses of the indescribable objects and compiled them for their superiors to review.

It was said that not even a mosquito could fly into their facility.

The Bureau was like a small town, with hospitals, restaurants, a subway system for transit, and so on.

Those living here were all researchers and their families.

On the central avenue of the Bureau, there was a pitch-black iron sphere.

The iron sphere was made of a very special material, and some busybodies had once analyzed it.

They discovered that the material of the iron sphere was exactly the same as Rashomon.

They suspected that the iron sphere was made from the scraps left over after crafting Rashomon, which were finally recast into the shape of a sphere.

The entire iron sphere was about seven or eight meters in diameter, emitting a dazzling radiance under the illumination of incandescent lights.

When night fell, in the dark night sky, the iron sphere would emit a glow like a luminous pearl.

The Bureau was located deep underground, where there should have been no sun or moon, but scientists had adopted a method of creating artificial suns and moons, establishing an alternation of day and night.

Just at this moment, ripples appeared on the surface of the iron sphere, and Ye Bai and the other two leaped out from within.

Lan Fenghuang summoned a Silence Gu, and a faint blue light flashed through her fingers.

The three of them landed on the ground without making the slightest sound.

"How can there be such a miraculous Gu?"

Ye Bai stomped on the ground, and still, not a single sound was produced.

"This type of Gu is very special; I only managed to cultivate it using ancient breeding methods."

"If you find it useful, I can gift some to you."

"Kuimulang, what should we do now?"

Lan Fenghuang continued to ask.

"We will first hack into the Bureau's system; I will first attract Fuxi's attention and leave a message for Fuxi, letting him cooperate with us."

"I will set up a fake identity for us in the system."

"We will infiltrate the Laboratory of the Bureau to search for evidence of crimes."

"Zhishen Dashi definitely has problems; there is a faint aura of an evil god about him."

When the evil god was mentioned, Zhang Lingxue and Lan Fenghuang both became solemn and respectful.

Ordinary evil gods were Old Gods.

The Old Gods driven out by the New Gods all belonged to the chaotic faction.

However, there were also some wild rural gods who were called Old Gods.

They stole the authority of the Dao of Gods to act tyrannically.

The evil god Ye Bai spoke of was, in fact, one of these wild rural gods.

"The aura of an evil god?"

"Why has no one exposed him?"

Zhang Lingxue was deeply puzzled; the Yan Country strictly forbade Pet Beast Masters from coming into contact with evil gods, and once discovered, the Pet Beast Master would be immediately apprehended and imprisoned in the undersea prison.

"Expose?"

"Zhishen Dashi is the local Emperor of the Bureau; who would dare to expose him?"

"As long as we handle Zhishen Dashi, we can completely suppress the other high-ranking officials of the Bureau, and only then will they cooperate with us properly to block the arrival of the Seven Stars."

"The most important thing for us now is not infighting, but blocking the Seven Stars."

"After we survive this hurdle, we will report the problems discovered here to the Discipline Inspection Commission and let them investigate these corrupt and inactive people thoroughly."

"I don't believe that among those who have reached high positions, there isn't a single one who is clean."

Ye Bai took out a laptop as thin as a sheet of paper and tapped on it a few times.

Soon, a progress bar appeared on the computer screen.

Not long after, the progress finished loading, and Ye Bai hacked into the Bureau's system.

However, it was not the main brain where Fuxi resided, but barely a branch under it.

With a hacker intrusion, the Fuxi system was awakened from its slumber.

After it saw those few strings of key code, its consciousness was shaken.

【Guess who I am?】

【Guess if I can find you?】

【Just you wait, I'm coming!】

"It seems that the person who hacked into the system this time came prepared."

"Good, let's see if you can find my true self; if you can find my true self, I will let you command me."

Fuxi knew that this opponent was not simple.

However, during its long slumber, it had indeed been missing some entertainment.

Oh well, I might as well just watch the show.

On the other side, the secret base where the Seven Stars are located.

This is a special Xiao Mijin, and also the place where the Seven Stars refine their undead army.

While bringing slaughter, the Seven Stars also inject the collected aura of death into this world, accelerating the world's death.

This is a small urban Secret Realm, yet it has been thoroughly transformed by the Seven Stars into a paradise for the undead to survive.

A blood sun hangs in the sky, and the heavens are dyed with a layer of deep crimson.

The sun seems to have lost its warmth and light, leaving behind only an endless aura of bloodiness and death.

The distant mountains and rivers have become strange and terrifying in this blood-colored light.

Upon the earth, corpses lie in rows, with no signs of life surviving.

Apart from the original inhabitants of this Secret Realm, all these other corpses were brought to this world by the Seven Stars.

They used extremely cruel methods to kill their prey, leaving them filled with resentment.

This kind of corpse can emit a thick Yin aura and is one of the best raw materials for creating an undead army.

They died miserable deaths with twisted faces, as if they had experienced great pain in the final moments of their lives.

Due to the special environment of this Secret Realm, the corpses have all maintained their state from just after death; blood flows from their wounds, gathering into small streams that flow between the broken walls and ruins, emitting a nauseating metallic stench.

The entire world seems to have been soaked in fresh blood, exuding an aura of morbidity, death, and distortion.

The once-prosperous city is now nothing but ruins.

The high-rise buildings no longer exist, leaving only broken walls and piles of corpses like mountains.

On the streets, cars, debris, and rubble are piled high, stained red with blood; the hustle and bustle of the past has long since vanished.

In this land of dead silence, blood-red crows occasionally fly past; their cries are desolate and heavy, as if mourning the end of this world.

The air is filled with the smell of dust and blood, so thick that it is almost impossible to breathe.

This is a world without life, a desolate land where only death and destruction remain.

The blood sun hangs high, filling the entire world.

In one of the few remaining five-story buildings.

Seven members of the Seven Stars are sitting on blood-colored chairs.

They are holding a pre-battle deployment meeting for the attack on the Bureau.

A new Earth Day has already appeared.

He is the apprentice of the previous Earth Day, a smiling man with squinting eyes, who has inherited the previous Earth Day's ability to summon spirits of the dead.

Earth Day is wearing blood-red monk robes, stroking a snow-white skull in his hand.

Around his neck hangs a necklace made of layers of skulls, with blue ghost fire flickering within the necklace.

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, the most important defensive force of the Bureau is the Ten-Fold Rashomon."

"This symbolizes the Ten Kings of Hell and represents the Ten-Fold Hell."

"This may cause a certain amount of damage to our undead army."

"However, fortune and misfortune are interdependent; this is actually our opportunity to incorporate the Ten-Fold Rashomon into this world."

"The Ten-Fold Rashomon contains the laws of Hell; once injected into this world, it will play a decisive role in the world's development."

"We can also use the power of the Ten-Fold Rashomon to open the Diyuzhimen and let Hell descend upon the entire human world."

"When that time comes, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and Black and White Impermanence will descend upon the entire world."

"When that moment arrives, whether it is the world of the living or the world of the dead, they will merge into one at this very moment."

"By that time, the ultimate mission of our Seven Stars will be completed."

"We will also be able to exist in a state of eternal life."

The goal of the Seven Stars is for there to be no more death in the world, and the Ten-Fold Rashomon is the key to them completing their mission.

By then, the living and the dead will live together, and there will be no more war in the world.

"Besides the Ten-Fold Rashomon, many Indescribable Objects can also become the power of our Seven Stars."

"If used well, Indescribable Objects can even overthrow the entire Yan Country."

Gold Day said with extreme composure.

"Our target this time is it, the Evil Dragon Vein."

Gold Day projected a black Shadow.

Everyone could see this giant black dragon, its eyes red, exuding an incomparably evil aura.

"The Evil Dragon Vein can promote the evolution of our undead army."

"We have attacked the Bureau; as long as we hide during this period, we will not face reckoning from the Yan Country."

"The descent of the angels in the Sea God Abyss will inevitably plunge the Yan Country into great chaos."

"The angels will certainly cause the Yan Country to suffer heavy losses, and there is even a risk that the Pillars of the Nation will perish."

"When that time comes, we can take the opportunity to strike and turn the Yan Country into a world where life and death coexist."
