Chapter 336: Occupy the magpie's nest, madness

You Huan stared at the stone platform under the sculpture and had a vague guess: "Is this 'the cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest'?"

"'The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest'? That's a really good description, that's about it." Joshua folded his arms and began his reasoning.

"It's obvious that such a place full of constantly evolving monsters is controlled by the Huanhai World in the high-level world."

"The main body of Huanhai is extremely closed, and all its members are obsessed with the great cause of life evolution. Their forces are scattered, so they do not carry out orderly control over other worlds."

"But those sea monsters spread the influence of their world in large quantities by throwing objects with the influence of their world into the sky."

"Once they encounter a world with matching attributes, these items will take root in that world and continue to spread the 'principle of evolution' from the universe."

"As a result, this world gave birth to a large number of creatures that could continue to advance on the physical level."

Hearing this, You Huan couldn't help but interrupt:

"It sounds like they are closed off, but they are also maintaining their dominance in this way, using the power of other worlds to increase their understanding of their own path."

Joshua's eyes lit up: "You have a very good understanding of the heavens!"

"Indeed, with this method, Huanhai doesn't need to spend as much energy as we do to maintain the rule of the world under its command, and at the same time it can advance its own path."

"But there is a downside to this, which is that they have no actual control over the world under their command, so sometimes situations like the one before us happen—"

"A certain being from our Fenyu once came to this world and left a strong influence. He even used divine sculptures to occupy something that belonged to the Huanhai World in this world - this stone platform."

He gently stroked the stone platform, and with the rustling sound of mud falling, the original appearance of the stone platform gradually emerged -

A stone pillar that is inserted straight into the ground. The surface of the stone pillar is uneven and slightly worn, depicting an image covering the entire surface.

A painting of "Ten Thousand Beasts Chasing the Peak"!

Countless animals are densely packed on the surface of the stone pillar in a rough manner, all showing an attitude of striving upwards.

From the bottom to the top, the animals twist and turn into the shape of a huge mountain. The higher the creatures go, the more ferocious or bizarre their appearance becomes.

Their claws, tentacles and horns were raised high, as if they were about to touch the peak.

But the strange thing is that there is nothing on the top of the peak.

They seem to be chasing something invisible, or touching their own peak.

The intense pursuit of life itself in the stone pillars was overwhelming, causing You Huan to feel a strong shock.

Joshua saw his performance and seemed to have expected it. He just gently touched the sculpture on the stone platform and said:

"Don't think that this stone platform is here. In fact, it is everywhere in this world. In another dimension, it is not a physical object, but a symbol of spirit and breath."

"If I'm not mistaken, it is the ultimate origin of the 'black water' in this world. It is because of its arrival that this world has given birth to black water, a substance that I think is extremely unique."

You Huan calmed down at this time and thought to himself that it was no wonder that this stone platform was so attractive to him.

This trip was worth it, as Joshua took the initiative to tell him a lot of information about the higher world.

A world full of monsters competing...

The image of the world of Huanhai gradually became clear in his mind.

From this perspective, among the several worlds he had experienced before, the first, third, and fourth worlds were all influenced by the Huanhai.

However, the fourth world, which is the world of How to Train Your Dragon, should not be considered as the world belonging to Huanhai. It was originally influenced by another world.

While You Huan was thinking, Joshua walked around the sculpture and whispered,

"So it's this person... No wonder those dream toads chose this world when they stowed away. It turns out that they have some connection, but they are not the same person as the one on Heaven Star... Well, this is something that was expected."

Just as the two were studying the things here, the sculpture suddenly shook in front of their eyes.

In an instant, the sophisticated formations carved on the surrounding dirt walls all lit up.

An invisible wave suddenly spread out.

When receiving this wave of fluctuations, You Huan's mind seemed to have experienced a mental storm in an instant, and countless fragments of memories were thrown into his mind.

They were indescribable, horrific scenes of confusion, and it was almost impossible to describe what they presented.

At the same time, there was also a vague will that said:

[…Offer sacrifices and faith…I will send messengers to lead you to my dream…]

The sound didn't seem to come from a real living thing.

If he had to describe it, You Huan felt that it was more like an artificial intelligence voice, the kind that would automatically sound when the device was turned on.

But at the same time, it contained an unspeakable magic that caused the sound to keep echoing in his mind.

Now everything is connected.

The top executives of Weyland must have discovered this place by accident.

Because of the sculpture's usurpation of its former self, they may have mistakenly believed that the black water was created by the being represented by the sculpture.

And through some kind of brainwashing, they fanatically converted to this existence.

Currently planning is underway to sacrifice all humans in order to obtain the arrival of the messenger and go to the promised dreamland.

This kind of plot...

If he remembered correctly, in this kind of cult sacrifice story, if you can't get the blessing of the god of luck in the dark.

The ending is often "the investigator has solved the problem and the incident has survived."

Unfortunately, the two "investigators" who appeared now are not ordinary "people".

After the fluctuations dissipated, Joshua pondered for a moment and expressed the same guess as You Huan, adding:

"Look at the formation here. The people from Weiland Company should have arranged this kind of sacrificial formation all over the world. This is just a branch node."

"Their minds have gone crazy. If we want to stop them from sacrificing those people outside, we must go straight to the source and start from the core of the entire formation."

He rubbed his hair and showed a helpless expression:

"Hey, why are things related to our world always so troublesome? I don't want to care about it anymore."

"If all the humans here are harvested, my real body is here, so I should be able to grab a piece of the pie, which is pretty good."

You Huan was watching from the side, trying to persuade him.

Who knows if this global sacrificial formation will include him as well.

Moreover, he did not want to see all the humans on this planet being sacrificed.

Although this body is a monster, he still has some affection for humans.

However, before he could open his mouth, Joshua changed the subject:

"But! The combination of the characteristics of Huanhai and Fenyu should give birth to at least one very powerful being on this planet."

"Compared to harvesting the weak, it sounds more interesting to challenge the strong."

As he said this, he looked at You Huan with a big smile on his face:

"Let's decide it this way. I plan to find the core of this formation, find those people who have caused me so much trouble in this world, and beat up the 'strongest monster' that should exist in this world."

"What about you, what are you going to do next?"

You Huan did not hesitate and asked, "How strong is that 'strongest monster'?"

Joshua's expression became a little more serious when he heard this:

"With the characteristics of the two high-level worlds of Huanhai and Fenyu colliding, the strength of 'that monster' may be significantly weaker than mine, but there is also a certain possibility that it will be significantly higher than my level."

"Well, I'll help you too. After all, you still owe me a request, and I also want to 'hunt' the strongest monster on this planet."

Joshua smiled again after hearing this:

"I was right about you. You are a very interesting person. You actually want to actively hunt down the strong people in the world, and you don't even avoid me, a person from the Fenyu world who is called a 'chaotic madman' by the outside world."

"Okay, then our goal is to crush Weiland Company's plan! But before that, you might be able to make use of this stone platform."
