The World Collapsed, So I Ruled the Past and Built a New World!

Chapter 12 throws out two choices, and the core conflict falls on the price of choice. The root of the earth guard is both a cage that locks in the turbid breath, and a hotbed that nourishes the turbid breath. This setting completely puts the dilemma on the table, and there is no easy solution to get the best of both worlds. The best and worst strategies given by Master Qingwei are not simply good or bad, but two different sacrifices. Bai Su proposed to return to the crack in the ground for verification, not because she believed in the existence behind the door, but because she knew that the existing classics were incomplete and wanted to complete the key information. Qin Ke's dissuasion is also a rational check and balance in the team to prevent the protagonist from going his own way. In the next chapter, Bai Su will arrive at the town again and return to Shimen. He will talk to the ancient existence through the seal and will reveal a secret that was deliberately buried during the ancient town seal. The intertwining of true and false information is another mental game. Thanks for reading, see you in the next chapter.

Chapter 11 can be regarded as the official lifting of the first veil in the depths of Guixu. Bai Su finally got a glimpse of the root of Shoutu with his own eyes, but he also discovered a cruel truth: the root body was wrapped in the torrent of turbid breath, and the three earth veins were connected, and a single move affected the whole body. As long as she locks the root of the earth with her spiritual consciousness, the turbid breath will immediately riot, giving birth to a large number of withered hands. This also explains why the ancient sages did not dare to touch the origin easily. This chapter did not arrange for Bai Su to forcefully go deep. He chose to retreat in time, which was a calm decision that fit the character's character. The ancient consciousness behind the stone gate still only resonates, does not confuse with words, and continues to maintain its mysterious and contradictory temperament. Qin Ke and Shi Ying were guarding the outside, each performing their duties, and the tension in the team slowly increased. Next, we will return to the Shoudou Palace to discuss countermeasures. Master Qingwei will bring new ancient secrets, and the true price of exploring the root of the Shoudou will soon surface. Thanks for reading, see you in the next chapter.

Chapter 10 reveals the source of the turbid breath, which can be regarded as overturning everyone's inherent understanding before - Guishi Gate is just a sealing node, and the real root of the problem is hidden at the foot of Guixu Palace. Bai Su's plan for a shallow exploration seemed to be safe, but in fact it was dangerous. The turbid breath can reversely erode along the spiritual consciousness of Earth Listening. This is a trap specifically targeted at her Earth Listening Body, and it is also the key crisis laid in this chapter. The ancient existence behind the stone door still maintains a vague sense of induction. It does not forcefully enchant it, leaving only a trace of disturbance of thoughts. This sense of restraint makes it even more mysterious. Qin Ke and Shi Ying's concerns are not unnecessary worries. They will assume the important task of guarding the fault in the future. In the next chapter, Bai Su officially explores the fault, new changes will occur in the underground turbidity, and the outline of the root of the soil will also be revealed at the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for reading, see you in the next chapter.

By the time I write Chapter 9, a small corner of the fog of the main plot has been lifted. The existence behind the stone gate is not an evil monster in the traditional sense. The phrase "cannot be killed, cannot be released" is the core foreshadowing of this chapter. Bai Su's concealment is not that she doesn't trust her teacher, but that a secret bond unique to her has been born between the Earthly Hearing Body and the ancient existence. This sense of fate will run through the subsequent root-seeking plot. Many book friends may wonder whether the other party's guidance to find the roots is sincere or a trap. Without spoiling anything here in advance, the depths of Guixu will not be a simple treasure house or trap. The truth about the roots of Shou Tu will subvert Bai Su's understanding of the thousand-year inheritance of Shou Tu's lineage. Next, Chapter 10 will officially cut into the underground leyline exploration, new mutations will appear, and Qin Ke and Shi Ying will also have their share of the story. Thanks for reading, see you in the next chapter.

In this chapter, Bai Su re-explored the stone door alone, and used the earth's hearing to "dialogue" with the thing sealed behind the door for the first time. The evil creature actually recognized the guardian and pointed out that the method of repairing the door was hidden deep in the "root" of Guixu. Bai Su hid the evil object and called her to be the guardian of the land, and only revealed the clues to repair the door to the master. The suspense escalates: Under the Guixu Palace, there is a deeper place called "Guixu"; no one knows how long that door can last. The next chapter will follow Bai Su as he follows the earth's veins to explore the depths of Guixu.

In this chapter, everyone hurriedly returned to Guixu Palace, and the master revealed the thousand-year truth about Guixu Palace: Guixu Palace was originally the "Guardian Lineage" that suppressed the underground evil creatures, and inherited the mission with the body of Earth Listening. The sky shook and cracked the seal, and the evil creatures underground gradually awakened. Bai Su was the only one who could listen to the earth in this era, and the responsibility of protecting the earth fell on her shoulders. The headmaster ordered not to make any announcement for the time being, and first investigate the origin of the seal and the evil object. The next chapter will follow Bai Su as he re-explores the stone gate and faces the first change after the seal is loosened.

In this chapter, the three of them explored the seal and found that the stone gate had cracks due to the tilt of the sky and the seal was leaking. They concluded that Guixu Palace was the guardian of the earth, and its mission may have been lost. On the retreat, the residual air from the leakage condensed into withered hands and broke out of the ground. The loosening of the seal created a physical crisis. The three of them decided to return to the Xu Palace in a hurry to report to the master. The next chapter will describe how everyone rushes back to the Ruins Palace, the master reveals the truth about the origins of the Earth Guardian and the Shimen, and the main line crisis further escalates.

The three of them went down to the crack in the ground and arrived in front of the underground stone gate, where they recognized the words "Zhendigui". Bai Sudi heard the ancient aura that was sealed behind the stone gate, and heard the words "The guardian of the soil is still there". A corner of the suspense is revealed: Guixu Palace is suspected to be a lineage of guardians who suppress the things underground, and the meteorite smashing into the earth may have caused the failure of this mission that has been passed down for thousands of years. The next chapter will revolve around the sealed objects behind the stone gate and the mission of Guixu Palace.

Huo Qing and Ji Nan escorted the survivors back and returned to the palace to report the news. Qin Ke, Shi Ying, and Bai Su went deep into the eastern front and approached the crack in the ground opened by the meteorite. On the way, Bai Su heard a "heartbeat" like beating deep in the ground for the first time, and recognized the word "Gui" on the ancient stele, which has the same origin as Guixu Palace. The thin beam of light then turned towards the three of them, as if something underground was responding. Foreshadowing advancement: Guixu Palace and the things underground do have a connection, and the mystery is beginning to emerge.

In this chapter, the five-member team found the first survivors in the Ashes world, and confirmed from their mouths that there was indeed something strange happening underground. Everyone climbed up and looked far away, and found a thin underground light emitting from the direction of the meteorite's impact. Bai Su felt that the huge power sleeping underground was awakening. She vaguely felt that the light had something to do with Guixu Palace, and decided to go deep into the Eastern Front. The next chapter will follow everyone on the eastward journey, facing the hole opened by the meteorite and the things underground.
