But his profound knowledge in the realm of myths and legends did not allow him to remain silent; he had to stand up and explain to everyone the phenomena they could not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi stood behind the crowd, looking into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the ocean, there grew two massive mulberry trees leaning against each other, their trunks gnarled, their lush branches and leaves stretching straight toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze ship was likely hundreds, perhaps even thousands of miles away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the trunks of the two mulberry trees were very faint, much like the feeling of looking at the moon from hundreds of thousands of miles away in the early morning. This only happened when the distance was sufficiently great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi had once looked at snow-capped mountains from hundreds of miles away and knew that feeling of being faint and blurred due to distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between them and these two mulberry trees before their eyes was definitely far greater than hundreds of miles. The height of the trees was several times that of the snow-capped mountains he had viewed from afar, as if they connected with the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The trunks are likely thicker than the mountains themselves, and the height... I don't know how many tens of thousands of meters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that every leaf on the two mulberry trees was quite bright, like thousands upon thousands of leaf-shaped moons, Li Youyi would have even suspected that what he was seeing was a mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the bronze ship rode the wind and waves, sailing rapidly, the distance closed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trunks on the horizon became clear, and one could even see the gully-like wood grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sea surface, a thick fog appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fog, golden flowers of all sizes were in full bloom, with no leaves, only fine white roots submerged in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These golden flowers emitted a refreshing, exotic fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large ones were over ten meters in diameter, the small ones only the size of a fist, all emitting brilliant light, like a thousand divine lamps floating in the sea, making the ocean as bright as a sea of stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Huan temporarily forgot his grief, his face flushed with excitement: \"It's the Xihe Flower!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xihe Flower and the Fusang Tree are eternally companion species, both growing in the Tang Gu Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xihe, it blooms by swallowing the flames of the Golden Crows. Mortals who eat it will be incinerated, and small demons who eat it will transform into giant demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I finally know where we are now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the Tang Gu Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tang Gu Sea is the intersection of the human world, the underworld, and the divine realm; legend has it that the sea area is a full 1.5 million li wide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone didn't believe it: \"You just keep bragging, 1.5 million li. Is the distance between the Earth and the Moon 1.5 million li?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 380,000 kilometers. It's kilometers, not li.\" Cai Yutong, having changed her clothes and put on sunglasses and a mask, appeared beside Li Youyi and interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Huan felt that no one could question his authority in the field of myths and legends, and argued seriously: \"Is 1.5 million li so incredible? Do you know how big the world where the Chixian Divine Continent is located is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'Lüshi Chunqiu' records that within the four poles, the east-west distance is 500 million and 97,000 li, and the north-south distance is also 500 million and 97,000 li. Your knowledge is shallow, and you are still stuck in mortal thinking; I won't hold it against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we still on Earth? We are currently in the netherworld, in the Ghost Wilderness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gurgle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the direction of the Fusang Tree, the seawater turned golden-red, as if endless divine flames were burning on the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seawater in the outer sea area boiled, and bubbles the size of water vats emerged. Soon, the water mist became thicker, shrouding the entire bronze ship in a vast whiteness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splash—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the thick fog, a giant three-legged bird flapped its wings and flew out from the seabed of the sea area where the two divine mulberry trees were located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light erupting from its body illuminated the white fog in the field of vision of the research team members with colorful brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a Golden Crow... look, that's a Golden Crow! So the Golden Crow doesn't dwell on the Fusang divine tree, but nests on the seabed beneath the Fusang divine tree.\" Gao Huan was incredibly excited, proving once again that he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The records in the mythological classics, although containing errors, were by no means groundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Golden Crow corpse in the tomb forest feels like just a fledgling; compared to this one taking flight, it was far too small,\" Li Youyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Crow flying out from the seabed had wings like clouds hanging from the sky, likely tens of thousands of meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single flap could raise waves ten zhang high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat and light erupting from its body, after being blocked by the bronze ship's defensive power, still stung the eyes and made the skin feel hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A researcher, very curious, threw out a steel bar as thick as a thumb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the steel bar flew out of the bronze ship's outer defensive barrier and fell to the sea surface, it was baked red by the terrifying heat, showing signs of melting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really this terrifying outside right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature in the air had likely reached several thousand degrees; no wonder it could burn the sky and boil the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the power that the legendary destructive divine bird, the Golden Crow, could erupt with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the adult Golden Crow flew into mid-air, it looked back at the bronze ship sailing on the sea, and could see the fledgling corpse on the ship. But it dared not approach at all; there was an aura on the ship that made its soul tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This aura, it had never perceived on any living creature in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flapped its wings toward the high sky above the clear nether, flying toward the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, it transformed into a scorching sun in the firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deck area, in that forest of tomb steles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the Golden Crow fledgling corpse, under a tombstone, a skeleton dressed in red palace attire also watched the Golden Crow flying away into the firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long hair was as black as silk, hanging down to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just standing there casually, she was full of temperament and momentum. Even if she was just a skeleton, one could imagine her peerless beauty when she was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside her deep-set bone sockets were two clusters of spirit flames the size of fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her own skeletal arm, where wisps of blood flowed, and life energy was constantly born inside the bones, whispering: \"That kid must be a descendant of that ancient clan from the legends. Only the blood of the descendants of that ancient clan can wake the corpse with a drop of blood, make the white bones grow flesh, and bring the dead back to life, returning to the order of the Yang world within the laws of life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, my Yang-marriage ritual with him was only half completed before he escaped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-clothed skeleton looked at Qi Shanshan, who had been captured by her and was still unconscious on the ground, and muttered to herself: \"First, hide the bone body inside her, and use her flesh-and-blood shell and life aura to avoid that law of life in the world that prevents the reversal of life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the bronze ship sailed through the \"Tang Gu Sea\" mentioned by Gao Huan, there had been day and night on the sea for the next few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many research team members speculated that many Golden Crows lived on the seabed of the Tang Gu Sea, and it was they who transformed into the sun, flying from east to west, causing day and night to appear in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, no one knew where east was and where west was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all judging direction based on the previous understanding of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, believing that the direction the bronze ship was sailing was north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fusang Tree was no longer visible, and the bronze ship sailed as if it were continuously jumping through space to another sea area, where there were no more terrifying dead souls in the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no wind on the sea, and the surface was as flat as a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seawater was a crimson color, which was very abnormal. After being drawn up with a bucket, it was like fresh blood, and even filtering could not remove the color; no one dared to drink it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they just didn't dare to drink it for now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the generator couldn't be repaired at all, and the food that was not easy to store had almost all rotted. Starting from yesterday, food and water had been rationed, instantly changing from three meals a day to one and a half meals a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coffins appeared sporadically on the sea surface, not knowing where they came from. They were sailing in the same direction as the bronze ship, dragging long trails on the calm sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world always gave people a feeling of heavy Yin energy, which neither the Fusang Tree nor the Golden Crow could dispel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial \"Soul Sea\" was like the resting place for the souls of all the dead on all planets in the universe. Now this \"Blood Sea\" was like the destination for the blood of all living beings in the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant birds flew past the horizon, preying in the sea, their calls loud. There was also a group of strange birds with mouths like sickles and seagulls, pecking open the coffins floating on the sea, sharing the rotten meat and bones in the coffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With signs of life, the mood of everyone on the ship improved greatly, and they soon forgot the grief and fear of a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They speculated one after another that they were not far from the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so heartening; as long as they reached the shore, they would be able to survive somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past few days, except for the area around the skeleton demon's tomb, Li Youyi had searched the entire bronze ship but could not find even a trace of Qi Shanshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She wouldn't have really been eaten by the skeleton demon, would she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Youyi had long had this suspicion, because the most dangerous thing on the ship now was that ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he had to go and investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he had the idea of repaying Qi Shanshan's favor so as not to be bound by it anymore. At the same time, there was also a sense of crisis; he always felt that the skeleton demon would crawl out of the tomb sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than sit and wait for death, it was better to take the initiative to resolve the hidden danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that, he had to improve his own combat power a bit more; he didn't want to die recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monday, please give me monthly tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1998,"2026-06-17T10:49:26.844Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9f82b52de9b2d5db021ae03028eeb5c67bc6f7fff25e50512c72ea58ecaf841b","law-of-primordial-origin-chapter-25","law-of-primordial-origin-chapter-23",333,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-primeval-law-cover.jpg"]
