Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1258 - 592: Yellow Earth Divine Origin Underground City

Liang Yuan paid no heed to her shifting demeanor. He continued, "Cease discussions of principles and righteousness with me. In this era of evolution, survival is the sole right of every being. With superpowers becoming commonplace, everyone is riding the tide of this transformation. It is one's own capabilities that determine who can ultimately stand out. Do not attempt to guilt-trip me with patriotism. My homeland is long gone, completely submerged by the relentless flood. What we stand upon now is merely a Floating Island, a grotesque remnant from the corpse of some colossal beast. Whoever claims lordship over this island becomes the sovereign of this land. Therefore, cease your self-deception. Your ambition to control the Celestial Abyss is not for the common folk, but for your own benefit. Because directly beneath the Celestial Abyss lies Cloud Mist Island, and you would be the first to face the consequences, would you not?"

Zhang Wenjing was instantly consumed by righteous fury. "How dare you accuse us!" she boomed. "Do you have any idea how many troops we sacrificed to gain control of the Celestial Abyss? They were all heroes, younger than you!"

Liang Yuan remained unfazed. "I acknowledge their sacrifices, but is that not a failing of your leadership? Even if the Celestial Abyss were opened, what if those monstrous beasts from the heavens descended? So what? The world teems with creatures far larger than humans, and the flood itself is rife with them. Would they prioritize hunting scattered humans over those colossal beasts? To be frank, you're unwilling to relinquish Cloud Mist Island and Cangqiong Mountain, which is why you refuse to relocate, isn't it?"

Liang Yuan let out a cold laugh, stripping away the Dove Faction Military's pretense. "No matter how extraordinary Pei Yuanhu's abilities may be, as long as he fears death, there are ways to subdue him. Yet you collude with him, retreating to such a degree. Haha, it's hard not to suspect that you are deliberately enabling his experiments. After all, you stand to gain from the fruits of his research, correct?"

Zhang Wenjing could endure no more. "Shut up!" she yelled, her voice cracking with emotion. "We are not as corrupt as you believe! We are soldiers, not politicians; we would never engage in such sordid dealings! You simply fail to comprehend the terrifying nature of those Celestial Abyss entities."

Liang Yuan scoffed, unconvinced. "Words are cheap; I judge actions. If your strength were truly formidable, could you not manage a single Pei Yuanhu?"

Zhang Wenjing's face contorted with distress. "Forcing him would only provoke a backlash; even if he outwardly complies with our authority, he would never genuinely cooperate," she stated.

Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Is that truly your belief, or is it merely what your superiors dictate? What difference does it make? If you genuinely believe that, then I can only conclude that your Dove Faction excels at rhetoric, and your convictions are easily swayed. However, if you blindly accept what you're told by those above, it merely proves your profound gullibility."

Liang Yuan's words plunged Zhang Wenjing into deep humiliation. He gave her no opportunity to retort. "Sincere cooperation?" he sneered. "I do not believe for an instant that you lack a foolproof method to deal with Pei Yuanhu." Liang Yuan possessed abilities like Puppet Threads and Parasite Species, granting him dominion over the life and death of his adversaries. If the Dove Faction Military was truly capable of securing the Celestial Abyss passage, wouldn't they possess similar means? Thus, Liang Yuan placed no faith in their talk of genuine partnership.

Hoo—

They moved with astonishing swiftness. Liang Yuan observed that Zhang Wenjing possessed a Fire Attribute superpower, her speed rivaling that of an ordinary Speed ability user. He subtly felt the energy fluctuations within her, discerning that her primary attribute energy had indeed surpassed 100 points. Yet, it was evident she had not yet undergone gene recombination; biologically, she hadn't crossed that significant threshold. Zhang Wenjing transformed into a blazing Flame Goddess, pursuing him relentlessly. "Mr. Liang, I have a query," she called out from behind. "I'm curious, what exactly is your primary attribute? What kind of superpower do you wield?" As she gave chase, she witnessed Liang Yuan morph into an Ice Bear, leading her to conclude he was an Ice Attribute Superpower user. However, Liang Yuan had also employed a Space-type superpower to capture Pei Yuanhu's Spiritual Split Thought. Now, as Liang Yuan soared through the air, it was clear he possessed psychic telekinesis for flight. Therefore, she found herself utterly unable to determine his true superpower classification. Liang Yuan simply replied, "Such personal inquiries are best left unvoiced."

A superpower user's primary attribute type dictates their combat methodology.

Generally, this attribute is not revealed voluntarily unless a genuine confrontation is occurring.

If an adversary knows your main attribute, they might exploit it for their advantage.

For instance, knowledge of your Fire Attribute could lead to ambushes by numerous Water Attribute Superpower Users.

It's a natural counter, as water extinguishes fire.

Zhang Wenjing immediately uttered, "My apologies, I was out of line."

Liang Yuan paid her no mind; his impression of the woman was already poor.

In fact, he held no favorable opinions regarding the entire military faction known as the Dove Faction.

What seemed like dozens of miles vanished in an instant.

A cluster of islands materialized ahead, marking the base of the Earth Mother Sect: Cangfu Mountain.

However, the Earth Mother Sect had long since relocated its primary headquarters to Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Cangfu Mountain was now utilized by the Earth Mother Sect to house its ordinary members.

The leadership of the Earth Mother Sect had all migrated to Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Upon setting foot on Cangfu Mountain, Liang Yuan and Zhang Wenjing observed,

Looking down, the followers of the Earth Mother Sect appeared oblivious to the impending danger, continuing their patrols with a semblance of order.

Women were engaged in cooking, and children were undergoing training.

"Mr. Liang, these are merely ordinary individuals; I implore you to show mercy,"

Zhang Wenjing felt compelled to interject.

Liang Yuan's brow furrowed. "Did I state any intention to attack these people?"

"Furthermore, cease acting as if you care for the safety of ordinary people in my presence."

"If your concern were genuine, you would not have permitted Pei Yuanhu to establish the Water God Sect and brainwash ordinary Superpower Users."

"The operational models of the Earth Mother Sect and the Spiritual Ability Sect differ little from that of the Water God Sect."

"If your care is authentic, take action instead of merely speaking."

Zhang Wenjing was instantly infuriated, clenching her fists. "I've informed you, our Cloud Mist Island is currently entangled with Celestial Abyss, and we lack the capacity to attend to..."

Liang Yuan dismissed her words, his form flickering as he soared above the island, accelerating towards a phantom of yellow and white hues situated behind Cangfu Mountain.

As he drew nearer, the area, previously a blur of yellow and white, began to resolve into distinct forms.

It presented as an expansive expanse of ochre earth.

However, due to recent snowfall, large sections were blanketed in white.

A mosaic of yellow and white unfolded, the snow-draped island resembling a colossal feline entwined in dual tones.

This Yellow Earth Divine Origin lacked the formidable protective shield observed at the Miyuan Rainforest.

Snowflakes drifted down, and the temperature across the entire island plummeted, mirroring the external climate.

Liang Yuan set foot upon the land, his gaze meticulously scanning the terrain.

What greeted his eyes was a landscape composed entirely of yellow earth and colossal stones.

The topography bore a resemblance to the adjacent desert regions.

Canyons crisscrossed the vast expanse, creating a complex and sprawling terrain.

He moved with haste across the Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Zhang Wenjing followed closely behind, remarking, "Yellow Earth Divine Origin was originally a Floating Island suspended above a certain Celestial Abyss."

"However, its vital nutrients were evidently extracted, and the mutant creatures that once parasitized it have since departed."

"It has since descended from the heavens, settling on the water's surface to form a Floating Island."

Liang Yuan remained unresponsive, his eyes continuing their circuitous sweep of Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Yet, he detected no structures, nor any indication of human habitation.

A slight raise of his brow preceded a sudden realization, prompting him to swiftly fly back towards a canyon he had recently passed.

He peered into the depths of the canyon.

Indeed, he discerned deliberate carvings on both sides of the canyon walls, indicative of human craftsmanship.

"Did the Earth Mother Sect establish their stronghold within Yellow Earth Divine Origin?"

"It seems plausible; the Earth Mother Sect consistently possesses an abundance of Earth Attribute Superpower Users, making the excavation of subterranean spaces unsurprising."

Zhang Wenjing commenced her analysis, marking this as her inaugural visit to the Earth Mother Sect's Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

Liang Yuan had already descended, arriving at the canyon's edge.

Before long, a colossal cave entrance came into view.

Liang Yuan proceeded rapidly into the cave, noting the presence of lighting fixtures affixed to the walls.

These fixtures were not standardized incandescent bulbs; some were ordinary lamps, others were LEDs, and some were directly integrated with luminous Superpower Stones.

The entire passageway was bathed in bright light and possessed considerable width.

"It appears that light bulbs were scavenged from the outside world to illuminate this corridor,"

Liang Yuan mused internally as he advanced along the corridor.

Soon after, he observed the cave interior suddenly expand.

He then beheld a massive subterranean city sprawling beneath a vast cavern!

Within the vast subterranean expanse, numerous structures and broad thoroughfares paved with stone bricks were present. This locale felt like a sanctuary when contrasted with the blizzard-ravaged world above.

Liang Yuan’s gaze was drawn upwards to a colossal luminous sphere suspended over the sprawling underground city, bathing the entire metropolis in a radiance akin to a sun.

Yet, this apparent utopia was currently marred by chaos, with widespread wailing and shouts echoing through the streets. A number of individuals possessing superpowers were engaged in rampant looting.

Witnessing this disarray, Liang Yuan’s brow furrowed, and he rapidly descended towards the scene. He apprehended an Earth Mother Sect superpower user who was in the process of assaulting a woman in her thirties.

The perpetrator, suddenly seized by Liang Yuan, instinctively turned and bellowed, "Are you seeking death?"

With a cold sweep of his hand, Liang Yuan caused the Earth Mother Sect user’s head to detach from his body in a swift, decisive motion.

The nearby Earth Mother Sect adepts who had been preparing to intervene recoiled, their faces draining of color from sheer terror.

Liang Yuan then turned his attention to the semi-clad woman on the ground, inquiring, "What is happening here?"

Zhang Wenjing, also present, expressed her astonishment, questioning why these Earth Mother Sect members had erupted into such madness.

The woman, appearing dazed and bereft of hope, sobbed, "It’s over, everything is finished."

"The Fertile Soil Department has absconded with all the provisions belonging to the Circle of Abundance."

Liang Yuan was taken aback. "What do you mean? The Fertile Soil Department has fled?"

He possessed a certain familiarity with the inner workings of the Earth Mother Sect.

He had already familiarized himself with their complex organizational structure.

The Fertile Soil Department, the Circle of Abundance, and the Root Inheritance Institute constituted the sect’s foremost three departments.

Following these were the priests representing the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

Further down the hierarchy, middle-tier organizations included the Forest Bishop, the Prairie Guardian, the River Valley Elders, and the Evangelical Mission, among others.

Consequently, when he learned that the Fertile Soil Department had plundered the Circle of Abundance’s supplies and vanished, Liang Yuan’s initial reaction was one of disbelief.

He quickly detained several more individuals, demanding information regarding the whereabouts of the Fertile Soil Department and the Circle of Abundance.

He then made haste to the designated locations of the Fertile Soil Department, the Circle of Abundance, and several other key institutions.

His search even extended to places such as the Root Inheritance Institute.

It was confirmed that these locations had been abandoned long ago.

Aside from a substantial collection of pre-apocalyptic texts left behind by the Root Inheritance Institute, no other resources remained.

Observing this desolate scene, Liang Yuan reached a conclusion.

"Did Shi Lianhai lead his followers and escape?"

Zhang Wenjing commented beside him, "Your devastating assault on Cangqiong Mountain has instilled fear in them."

"I suspect the Spiritual Ability Sect on Mide Mountain is also deserted."

She added with a hint of mockery, "Despite your formidable power, if you fail to eliminate these scattered remnants decisively, you must remain vigilant about the safety of your Yangshan."

"Even a dying centipede retains its venom; now that they’ve abandoned their stronghold, they undoubtedly harbor a deep-seated hatred for you and Yangshan."

"You should brace yourself for their retribution."

Disregarding her words, Liang Yuan inquired, "Do you possess knowledge of whether the Heart Core and Brain Core of Miyuan Rainforest are in Pei Yuanhu’s possession?"

Zhang Wenjing regarded him silently, but Liang Yuan had already divined the answer.

He then pressed further, "Are you aware of who holds the Brain Core and Heart Core of Yellow Earth Divine Origin?"

"The Brain Core of Yellow Earth Divine Origin is held by Guan Maocai, and the Heart Core rests with Shi Lianhai; they are the true custodians of Yellow Earth Divine Origin. Without apprehending these two, it is utterly impossible to claim dominion over this Yellow Earth Divine Origin Floating Island."
