In Jianghai City, inside a private high school. Chen Ye and his younger sister, Chen Yao, were touring the school, accompanied by a female teacher who was introducing them to the school's facilities. However, Chen Ye kept his head down, scrolling through his phone, "The news keeps coming, one article after another. Isn't it living a bit too comfortably?" "Conservatively estimating, we only have one year, Master." "If we can't eliminate Number Two within this year, it's highly likely to step into the Deep Sea level, becoming unmatched by anyone." "Of course, except for you." "My respected Master." ...... At the same time, elsewhere. Zhou Mo followed Li Yang to an old mansion, "What is this place?"
"My ancestral home." Li Yang said, walking into the ancestral hall and lighting three incense sticks before the ancestral tablets, "Our ancestors above, your unfilial descendant Li Yang has come to pay respects." Zhou Mo stood outside the ancestral hall, watching but not entering. He never understood if ancestor worship really had any meaning. If reincarnation truly existed, then the ancestors should have already been reincarnated, how could they hear what you're saying? As Zhou Mo thought this, he suddenly felt a chill run through him. "Hiss..." Zhou Mo stared blankly at the ancestral hall, and saw strange, blurry figures gradually gathering inside. Holy crap? Zhou Mo subconsciously took a step back, and all those figures turned to look at him because of his movement. "Uh, okay, I take back what I said, you continue, you continue..." Zhou Mo retreated to the courtyard, watching Li Yang in the ancestral hall from afar. Those indistinct figures reached out and patted Li Yang's shoulders, as if gently telling him something. But Li Yang couldn't hear them. This was too strange, better not to watch. Zhou Mo wandered around the old house, which was overgrown with weeds, looking like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time. Walking into the innermost main room, it was also covered in dust. "What's this, a plaque?" Zhou Mo uncovered a piece of red cloth in the room, revealing a plaque, as expected, with only six characters written on it. Home of a First-Class Merit Citation.
Zhou Mo's hand trembled subconsciously, and at this moment, Li Yang walked in, "My grandfather participated in the Anti-Japanese War, the Korean War, and the Zhenbao Island conflict, among many other battles, and passed away in 1987." Zhou Mo turned around, "Brother Li, you really are... deeply rooted in the establishment, my respect, my respect." "But I've always been curious, what exactly does 'First-Class Merit' refer to?" Li Yang covered the plaque again with the red cloth, "It's actually not complicated, for example, undertaking a mission with certain death." "My grandfather didn't like publicity, so he always kept this plaque in the corner of the house, but now, there's something more important." "I found the snake." Zhou Mo was taken aback, "Where?" Li Yang took out his phone and played a video, showing a huge snake-like monster wreaking havoc in a certain city! Number Two File Derivative: 01 "Fengtian." Zhou Mo frowned, "The North?" "If we set off now, by the time we get there, I'm afraid there won't even be a shadow left, right?" Just then, the door of the old house was suddenly pushed open. The two turned around at the same time, and found that the newcomer was a strange man. "Who are you?" The strange man raised his right hand, and a pattern of an all-seeing eye could be seen on his palm, "The two of you don't need to be alarmed, the Seer foresaw this, and specially sent me to assist you." This strange man was, of course, none other than Chen Ye, one of the many clones who had changed his appearance and was hiding in the crowd. Since gaining the ability to alter his appearance, Chen Ye had transformed his clones into various appearances, including old men, children, and women. They mingled in the crowd without the slightest flaw. "Now, allow me to take you to a place." Chen Ye's clone said, taking out a card from his pocket. The pattern on the card was very strange, it was a lantern, surrounded by black mist. "Lamp-Bearing Maiden, open the First Gate in the mist, guiding us to the Crystal Dome, the place where truth resides." After saying that, Chen Ye's clone directly threw out the card. The card spun and released a large amount of black mist, which swirled and gathered together, forming a door like a black hole. "The two of you, follow me." Chen Ye's clone took the lead and stepped into the door, while Zhou Mo's eyes lit up, "Brother Li, if you look at it this way, our organization is much more high-end!" "By the way, what's our organization called again?" Li Yang: "The Truth Church."
Zhou Mo: "Oh, right!" "Let's go, let's go, let's go in together!" The two said, stepping into the mist door together, and the scene in front of them changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in a completely sealed palace. A round table was in the center of the palace, and on the table was a huge blue sphere. A masked man in a black robe was already waiting there. "You've arrived." Li Yang and Zhou Mo stepped forward, "Greetings, Seer!" x2 Although, this was also one of Chen Ye's clones, but this clone was pretending to be Chen Ye's real body. It might sound a bit confusing, but simply put, it's me playing myself. Chen Ye nodded, "You have already been notified of the matter, so even if I don't say it, your Sect Master will inform you." Zhou Mo wasn't very concerned about this matter, but was very curious about this place, "Seer, what is this place?" Chen Ye looked at Zhou Mo, "The City of Dreams, it's a mysterious byproduct, the mysterious being is called the Lord of Deep Mist." "I signed a contract with him, and made this place the headquarters of the Truth Church." Lord of Deep Mist? "Seer, what was that move that person used just now to send us here called? I want to learn that!" Zhou Mo said excitedly. Chen Ye raised his right hand, and a card appeared in his hand. "This is a byproduct of the Lord of Deep Mist, called the Lamp-Bearing Maiden, and this card is the medium to communicate with the Lamp-Bearing Maiden." "As long as you can draw the pattern on it, and know the secret incantation of the Lamp-Bearing Maiden, anyone can use this ritual to open the Deep Mist Gate for interspatial movement." "I will teach you later, but let's talk about the main business first." "Since yesterday, the Yellow Spring Serpent and its descendant derivatives have begun to be highly active on the surface, although it is currently limited to the Asian region, it has already caused considerable damage." "And according to my observation, in at most one year, it will evolve from the Lightless level to the Deep Sea level, and at that time it will be unstoppable." "So we must kill the Ancestral Serpent before that." Li Yang stepped forward, "Seer, there is one thing I am very curious about. Your abilities are far stronger than ours, but why do you insist on letting us deal with the Yellow Spring Serpent?" Chen Ye smiled, "Do you think your strength is very weak?" "Children, strength and weakness are only temporary. No one is always a winner, and no one is always a loser." "One day, a beggar can turn over and become the emperor, so what I value is your future." "You all have extraordinary potential. One day, you will surpass your Sect Master and rise above the mysterious." "But the road to becoming a strong person is destined to be full of hardships. I am letting you deal with the Yellow Spring Serpent, also hoping that you can use this opportunity to hone yourselves." "Master, aren't you just lazy?"
