Chapter 1051 Pressing to Death in Advance

 

After Fang Yu left the mansion, he arrived at Yinlin Manor.

Huai Xu was already seated in the small teahouse, with Zheng Ze standing behind him, both seemingly waiting for Fang Yu’s arrival.

“Mr. Fang,” Zheng Ze respectfully greeted upon seeing Fang Yu.

“Brother Fang, please,” Huai Xu poured a cup of hot tea for Fang Yu, gesturing for him to sit across from him.

After sitting down, Fang Yu spoke: “A few days ago I had someone inform you of the situation.”

“Yes, a baby burst out from the Tianwen Stone in Taixu Sect, which you called an evil infant. You fought with it, but ultimately it escaped,” Huai Xu said slowly, “Your subordinate has told me everything that happened that day.”

Fang Yu nodded slightly and said, “That evil infant had a black spiral mark on its head. After returning home, I spent three days researching and finally discovered the origin of the mark.”

Hearing this, Huai Xu’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked, “What is it?”

“It’s the exclusive mark of the ancient Mingzu clan. To be precise… it’s a mark that only those with royal bloodlines in the Mingzu clan can possess,” Fang Yu said.

“Ancient Mingzu clan…” Huai Xu’s eyes revealed shock.

“I found information about this mark in a book called ‘Illustrated Guide to Alien Races.’ I can’t remember where this book came from, but I’ve recently discovered that most of the ancient books I’ve read… even if they were collections of mythological legends, their credibility is extremely high… so I personally believe in the existence of the ancient Mingzu clan,” Fang Yu said.

Huai Xu remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed.

“The ancient Mingzu clan is actually just one of the thousands of alien races that have appeared throughout history,” Fang Yu said. “You should know… throughout history, any intelligent race besides humans is considered an alien race.”

Huai Xu looked at Fang Yu, listening carefully.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard that in human history, there have been several terrifying catastrophes that nearly led to the extinction of our race,” Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Huai Xu frowned deeply, thought for a moment, then shook his head, saying, “I have never heard of such things.”

Hearing Huai Xu’s answer, Fang Yu realized that… indeed, very few people today know about the multiple catastrophes in human history.

Even in the cultivation world of the past, very few people knew about this.

When Dao Tian told Fang Yu about this matter back then, Fang Yu only treated it as a legendary story, never taking it seriously.

But as time passed, especially recently.

Fang Yu felt increasingly uneasy, particularly after seeing He Ruju at the ancient ruins last time, when he directly experienced the alien invasion events from countless years ago.

The concept of alien races rising thus truly entered Fang Yu’s thinking.

Fang Yu looked at Huai Xu, thought for a moment, and decided to briefly explain the matter of alien races.

Five minutes later, Fang Yu stopped and picked up his teacup for a sip.

By now, only shock remained on the faces of Huai Xu and Zheng Ze.

Regarding alien races… they truly had little concept.

Because since their birth, in both their present and historical knowledge, the existence of alien races had been extremely faint, practically nonexistent.

“Just like the Immortal Race that appeared in Huaibei a few months ago, which is actually one of the alien races, and the Celestial Demons of the Demon Cult… also an alien race. But compared to humans, their power is too insignificant, and they encountered me too early… so they didn’t attract much attention,” Fang Yu said.

After recovering from his shock, Zheng Ze hesitantly asked, “Mr. Fang, I have a question…”

“Speak,” Fang Yu looked at Zheng Ze.

“…If human history truly experienced near-extinction events, and several times at that… why is there not a single record left today?” Zheng Ze asked with wide eyes. “Since humans are still thriving today, it means that although they were almost extinct, at least some survived…”

“Those human ancestors who survived such terrible catastrophes, why wouldn’t they record such major events to pass down to future generations as a warning?”

“Doesn’t this… seem unreasonable?”

Zheng Ze’s words echoed what had puzzled Fang Yu before.

If such devastating catastrophes occurred in human history, why was there not a single record?

Fang Yu had pondered this question for a long time but couldn’t reach a reasonable conclusion.

But since entering the ancient ruins and meeting He Ruju last time, he stopped thinking about this question.

He Ruju’s appearance was itself a warning.

Something must have happened back then that prevented those surviving human ancestors from recording the alien invasion events.

But people like He Ruju, who ascended early, left behind a phantom image to warn future generations.

“Your question was once my question too,” Fang Yu said. “But now, this question no longer needs discussion. Because the fact of alien awakening is already before us.”

Huai Xu looked at Fang Yu and asked solemnly, “Brother Fang, what should we do now?”

Fang Yu took out a map from his spatial storage ring that he had redrawn.

The map showed the locations and times of ancient ruin openings based on the document provided by Bai Konggu.

But now it seemed these ancient ruins… might not all be ancient ruins.

Many of the marked locations… might be the next locations where alien races would awaken!

“These locations are all the ancient ruin sites known to the Kuitian Bureau, which they may not publish anymore,” Fang Yu said. “There are thirty remaining locations, and we don’t know yet whether they will be ancient ruins opening or alien races awakening.”

“As for the awakening of the Mingzu evil infant, honestly, I encountered it by chance.”

“At that time, I hadn’t realized that place was one of the marked locations.”

“I heard the entire Taixu Sect has turned into a huge crater… Brother Fang, how powerful is that Mingzu evil infant?” Huai Xu asked.

“Quite powerful, much stronger than ordinary Fusion Realm cultivators… but we can’t define its strength by human cultivation realms,” Fang Yu answered.

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Huai Xu frowned deeply, his expression grave.

If one alien was so difficult to deal with, how would they handle thirty more if they truly appeared?

“What we can do now is cut off their path before danger arrives,” Fang Yu smiled.

“How do we do that?” Huai Xu asked seriously.

“There are thirty locations here in total. I will go to inspect them, and if I confirm they might be locations where alien races will awaken, I’ll destroy them directly,” Fang Yu said. “This way, we can directly eliminate those alien beings still in slumber.”

“Do you need help?” Huai Xu asked.

“I don’t need help destroying the locations, but I need your help to find that Mingzu evil infant,” Fang Yu said.

As he spoke, Fang Yu took out a piece of white paper from his storage space.

On the paper was a drawing.

It was a sketch Fang Yu had made based on the appearance of the evil infant he had seen.

“This is the baby. Find it and notify me,” Fang Yu said.

Huai Xu and Zheng Ze looked at the drawing on the white paper, their eyes filled with shock.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary baby, except for the black spiral mark on its head and its blood-red eyes…

Just such a baby, in Fang Yu’s eyes, was actually stronger than any Fusion Realm cultivator?

Unimaginable…

“Well, that’s all there is to it. I need to go now,” Fang Yu drained his teacup and stood up to leave.

“Brother Fang,” Huai Xu called out at this moment.

“What is it?” Fang Yu turned and asked.

“Do you believe in your heart that alien races will rise again?” Huai Xu asked solemnly.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, “I never predict anything. I only live in the present, taking one step at a time.”

Huai Xu nodded gravely and said, “Brother Fang, on behalf of all people in the world… I want to express my gratitude to you.”

Fang Yu turned to leave, saying as he walked, “What’s there to thank? I clear out alien races, first because it interests me, and second to ensure my mansion in Beidu isn’t destroyed… it has nothing to do with any human cause. You should know very well that I’m not that kind of person.”
