Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 535 - 7: The Pangu Conjecture_2

Tang Xiaojiu also decided not to mock Uncle Feiji's brains anymore.

A dragon and a fox, along with a cat and a bird, were building a simulation of Baichuan City.

But they suddenly realized that amid the noise outside, the building blocks placed in the box had actually become new.

When the blocks hit the ground, even the sound became crisper.

"Uncle Feiji, your magic is so incredible," Tang Xiaojiu exclaimed.

Tang Feiji was bewildered, what was going on?

Unlike the others, Tang Feiji was surprised by the walls, floor, and toy blocks of the house becoming brand new, but he was more concerned about the sense of crisis in his sea of consciousness.

A feeling that made him feel very oppressed was permeating the surroundings.

It didn't take long for Qing JiuYu to appear as well.

Dressed in red, she frowned not with her usual enchanting demeanor, but looked straight at Tang Feiji and said gravely,

"Have you noticed it?"

Tang Feiji didn't bother with a retort about the lowly fox and nodded seriously instead.

"Go find Tang Xian."

The demon fox and the azure dragon didn't think twice and left directly.

Leaving Tang Xiaojiu behind to continue playing with blocks, hugging Tang Bingxiang.

...

...

Tang Xian and Li Xiaoyu walked quickly.

Li Xiaoyu noticed that Tang Xian's physical abilities had far surpassed the state she remembered.

The two also formed a judgment about the transformation of Baichuan City.

"It looks like it is as I had guessed."

"What?"

"Baichuan City must be in some unique domain, which is why Baichuan City wasn't destroyed. After hundreds of years and the test of wind and rain, Baichuan City might find a suitable place to settle, but it definitely wouldn't look the way we saw it before."

Tang Xian and Li Xiaoyu stood at the top of the communications building, looking down at the city.

"But fifty years might be different, in fifty years' time, the city would grow old, but not to death. And with the cycles of reincarnation, the city becomes eternally youthful.

It's a pity we can't verify if later things would enjoy this 'reincarnation.' If so, then Baichuan City, as the cradle of new human civilization, would indeed be more than suitable."

Excitement tinged Tang Xian's words.

"If it's really as you say, and an apocalyptic creature is sheltering this city, doesn't that make the mystery even greater?"

"Yes, everything is just speculation. We need to find a body, or rather, the reason the city has 'rejuvenated.'"

Tang Xian said this while catching the scent of Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu rushing over from afar.

He couldn't detect anything with his own sense of smell, but Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu, as top beings, might have unique intuitions.

Li Xiaoyu said,

"Should I go attend to other matters now?"

She had already seen the figures of Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu from a distance.

Knowing that if it truly involved apocalyptic creatures, even just a body, if something dangerous were to happen during the exploration, she likely wouldn't be able to handle it.

There are specialists in every field, and Li Xiaoyu thought it wise to focus on one's strengths and avoid danger. Doing what needs to be done well within a safe realm also represents value.

Tang Xian nodded and said,

"Just wait for me to return, and you figure out how to explain to the public. Regarding apocalyptic creatures, it's not a secret suited for too many people to know. We need a plausible lie to cover up the truth."

"Okay." Having agreed, Li Xiaoyu left promptly.

The two were decisive, without any dilly-dallying hesitation.

Li Xiaoyu even thought, if these devices were to revert to their appearance from decades ago... would many devices that were broken and thus inaccessible become retrievable?

Thinking this, she became excited, feeling as if she was on the verge of uncovering some mysteries.

Qing JiuYu and Tang Feiji quickly arrived, not bothering with pleasantries; both looked at Tang Xian, waiting for him to explain something.

Seeing their expressions, Tang Xian knew that these two, just like him, had realized that something was amiss but could not sense the details; he said,

"Don't look at me like that. I don't know what's causing the strange occurrences in Baichuan City either. I can't smell any scent worth noting."

He raised his head, looking at the sky, and said,

"However, we can start by surveying from above to understand the extent of this time reversal. We can estimate the center point based on the range. This will give us a rough location."

Tang Feiji did not understand, but Qing JiuYu said, "Feasible."

Then Tang Xian and Qing JiuYu looked to Tang Feiji.

Tang Feiji finally realized that he would have to serve as a mount again.

The dragon roared, and the clear sky was suddenly filled with violent winds.

The residents of Baichuan City weren't afraid of the dragon; after all, it was this dragon that had led them out.

But the fact that today, in this place, peculiarities and dragons appeared together meant something major was likely happening.

Tang Feiji shot straight up into the clouds.

Qing JiuYu and Tang Xian clung to the giant dragon scales, looking down from above.

Soon, everything in Baichuan City became tiny. Yet, the full picture was still not visible.

"Higher," Tang Xian said calmly, as the tumultuous wind passed through him, gazing down at the facade of Baichuan City.

"So it turns out the world of humans also harbors such mighty creatures. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Qing JiuYu asked.

"Friend or foe, it should have been long dead."

The reactions of Qing JiuYu and Tang Feiji further solidified Tang Xian's speculation.

All six cataclysmic creatures had fallen, and the Sea God had died in the Ashen Sea.

Its enormous body gave birth to countless calamity-level creatures.

The entire ocean, with creatures that belonged to the Sea God, also held high stature within it.

From this, it was evident that the gap between calamity-level and cataclysmic level was more than a mere difference in rank.

The death of any cataclysmic creature could be an event capable of changing the world.

And the Sea God had left behind a treasure.

This treasure, the Order Seekers had not detected.

Even his own parents were unaware of it.

Tang Feiji continued to ascend higher and higher into the sky.

"That's enough," Tang Xian suddenly spoke.

Above the clouds, it was hard to make out the scenery on the ground, and even with his vision strengthened by satiation, Tang Xian could not see the details.

But he had tools; he took out telescopic equipment from his utility bag, watching through it as he pondered.

His thoughts meandered along the word "treasure," gradually forming an outline.

Perhaps his parents had noticed something?

Maybe the demise of each of the seven cataclysmic creatures left behind their obsessions.

The Sea God's obsession was to protect the creatures on the islands.

The Guardian of Baichuan City, on the other hand, was to protect the city itself.

The death of the Lord of Eden, perhaps, was to find a successor?

Just like how they were unwilling to accept defeat hundreds of years ago?

Tang Xian also wasn't clear about several other cataclysmic creatures.

The Sea God's treasure was the myriad beasts on the island, the countless Soul Crystals beneath the sea, and a base that stood firm in the Myriad Beasts Realm.

This treasure had been discovered by him.

The treasure left by the Lord of Eden was a lineage's legacy, and this treasure had been found by his parents.

But the specifics, Tang Xian had no way of knowing, nor what exactly his parents had exchanged to gain these powers.

Now, he was very likely on the brink of discovering another treasure.

From another unknown cataclysmic creature.

Even with the aid of telescopic equipment, to find the boundary of "Time's Return" from such a height above the clouds was going to take some effort.

Whether it was the memories in his blood or looking at the city with the surrounding mountains, rivers, and streams, Tang Xian spontaneously associated it with a legendary creature—

Pangu.

In the mines, he had seen the Nuwa Imperial Snake, reminiscent of Nvwa.

He had encountered the magic dragon from the Western magic world, symbolizing the pinnacle of power.

He had also met with Taotie, one of the Four Fiends, and heard of the legendary Undying Xuan Bird.

These seemingly had connections with legendary creatures from around the world.

Upon reflection, the title "Lord of Eden" also carried a semblance of Judeo-Christian connotation.

That giant, who had opened the heavens and the earth and cleaved the sun, the moon, and the stars, upon his fall, his body, limbs, hair, and blood transformed into mountains, rivers, and streams, nourishing a world that endlessly birthed and circulated natural life.

Below the clouds, the human world continued to experience rebirth.

After observing for a long while, Tang Xian finally inferred the center of this vast domain—it was in the eastern outskirts of Baichuan City.

The vegetation there resembled numerous huge tentacles that covered the entire space densely.

Tang Xian was puzzled; he had come to Baichuan City and yet had never ventured to its eastern outskirts.
