I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 832 - 832 831. Lu Ban touches the light switch

Chapter 832: 831. Lu Ban touches the light switch. Chapter 832: 831. Lu Ban touches the light switch. Seeing this scene, Shia’s expression became grave.

“Did she do it?”

She looked at Lu Ban.

“Of course.”

A sweet voice came from behind the two of them, Baobao was standing there, her white clothes stained with some dirt, which shimmered with a metallic hue, like blood splattered from bottom left to top right.

“It took a bit of effort, but the problem is finally solved.”

“You call this solving the problem?”

Shia couldn’t help but ask.

Now that the deep well was ineffective, the Seal that bound the Outer Gods was exposed, and the giants present might all perish on the spot, even the things outside might not escape—was this a solution?

“Of course, the root of the problem, the unclean one, has already been kicked back, but as for the rest, I can’t be bothered.”

She puffed out her chest, the metallic-colored bloodstain like a scar.

“And besides, I’ve helped you so much, shouldn’t you pay a little price?”

Baobao’s mouth curved into a somewhat mocking smile.

Lu Ban glanced at the red sun.

Indeed, if the deep well failed, the Pollution from the bound Outer Gods would sweep this place clean in an instant—at best, that Lu Ban and Shia could still converse was already a stroke of enormous luck.

But now, the deep well no longer existed, yet the Pollution was only as bad as a buffer zone, suggesting the core of the Pollution had weakened a lot.

“If you can successfully rescue the remaining Pollution, then you can escape from here.”

Baobao spoke leisurely, as casual as a primary school student on an autumn trip to the zoo.

“I’ve gone to such great lengths to solve the biggest problem for you, watching the drama unfold isn’t an unreasonable request, right?”

“What you say makes sense.”

Lu Ban did understand Baobao.

After all, her purpose was to find something different to do, to have fun.

Now that she had solved this big problem with the Outer Gods for Lu Ban, she definitely wanted some compensation.

As to whose death this fun might lead to, what irreparable consequences it would bring about, it was of no concern to Baobao.

Keyboard warriors when cyberbullying others online, also never consider what happens to those being bullied.

This was the cost of using Baobao’s golden touch.

Without Baobao’s help, the deep well would collapse one day, the awakened Outer Gods would break through this time anchor, and destroy the entire He Dao, and those of the Splendid Realm like Old Song would also abandon this place and leave.

But letting Baobao assist meant dealing with the residual Pollution after the Outer Gods left.

From the perspective of an Outer God, this deal was a huge win for Lu Ban.

He saw that Old Song had already donned his gear and was moving toward that crimson sun.

This scholar was clearly preparing to resist the incoming Pollution so his companions could evacuate in time.

In the sky, the sun’s radiance spread over The Island like a fiery ballad.

Then suddenly, as if the ballad came to an abrupt halt, from within the sun, thick black mud poured down like a waterfall.

The black mud hit the ground and rapidly soaked into the earth.

Within the soft soil, flowers of evil bloomed.

Blood and flesh formed branches stretched out, and at the tips, faces emerged. Each face bloomed, creating flowers, while creatures made of viscous mud and flesh fluttered through the air like birds leaving their nests.

The sight reminded Lu Ban involuntarily of a popular nursery rhyme.

“The sun shines high above, the flowers smile at me, the little birds say ‘good morning,’ why do you carry explosives on your back.”

He couldn’t help but sing it out, turning it into the background music to this eerie scene.

Lu Ban recognized these monsters as the embryonic forms of He Dao’s filth. They had inherited pollution from an Outer God and were rapidly spreading toward them. Wherever they went, even barren rocks sprouted countless fuzz and quickly came to life.

A deep crimson tide churned.

Old Song stared at everything, raising the weapon in his hand and firing several continuous shots.

The creatures at the forefront were instantly shattered, but they didn’t disappear; instead, they rapidly reformed into even more bizarre monsters, advancing towards Old Song’s location.

It was clear these monsters had acquired some authority; common physical attacks couldn’t destroy them.

Boom—

A giant immediately lifted a flamethrower, unleashing flames tens of meters long towards the most densely packed area of monsters. However, the creatures didn’t succumb to the fire. Instead, they split into countless beings, forming an even more tumultuous wave.

Lu Ban also raised his silver revolver “Testament” and fired Speech Bullets, filled with the babbling of great beings, into the throng of monsters. However, as he had seen on He Dao, these creatures were already in the deepest madness, affected by the most severe pollution, so the disorienting and maddening babble had no effect.

“Is this why it’s ineffective?”

Now, Lu Ban could understand the reason. After all, the source of this babbling had been sealed, while the current monsters were directly created by the pollution of an Outer God. In terms of pollution levels, Lu Ban’s Speech Bullet naturally didn’t qualify.

Buzz—

A humming sound arose, coming from the direction of the sea.

A vessel from the Splendid Realm attempted to start, trying to escape this temporal anchor point.

The silver steel spikes standing in the sea also trembled slightly.

However, the sound didn’t last long before the ship, which was initially hovering, suddenly plummeted down, causing waves upon waves in the sea.

The previously humming Taviel Time Anchor also quieted down.

“Escape failed…”

Old Song glanced at the sky.

A buffer-like high-concentration contaminated zone had already formed here. To leave, they would need enough energy, and clearly, their ship was not equipped to handle the high concentration of pollution and thus, lost control in these conditions.

The ship, after all, was only intended for research and exploration, never designed to wade through the black mire.

Or so to speak, if any pilot took the ship into such strong pollution, the designers from the Splendid Realm wouldn’t give them a second glance.

“So, there’s only one way left.”

As the only remaining scholar, Old Song was also very aware of the situation.

Although the pollution from the sun seemed to have decreased significantly, the current monsters were still enough to destroy the entire Island, the entire Foreign Domain. They must eliminate these creatures before they could leave.

Tat tat tat—

The sound from the counter was continuous, almost familiar to the ear.

He contacted the ship, quickly confirmed the situation, and soon enough, several missiles launched from the ship. The missiles didn’t crash into the mass of roiling creatures but landed accurately beside Old Song.

One “missile” as soon as it hit the ground, immediately opened, and from within, an array of dazzling weapons, as well as a suit of metallic gleaming Armor, sprang out.

“Our world is not one that has indulged in peace, but we have fought our way to this day, which is how we have our current strength.”
