Before this relocation, all individuals below Level 200 in physical constitution within the base city were transported into the Xuanyuan World or other ruins, while the sea beasts controlled by the Black Snail Worm Legion were slaughtered on the final day of departure and stored in the base city's cold storage.

In the hundred kilometers of small ocean, there were not only 65 Black Snail Worms, but also many subordinates under their control; all were completely killed as they departed.

To prevent the Black Snail Worms from becoming extinct, Ye Chen left behind 15, placing them within the Xuanyuan Divine Tomb; the remaining 50 were carried with him, stored in his Rune Space.

With the addition of the Black Snail Worms, the old man with the green rune became notably more active. In Ye Chen's initial period, the Black Snail Worms had always resided in the Rune Space, and out of sheer boredom, they had ended up becoming good friends with the green-rune elder.

Boom n n

The majestic ancient martial city slowly ascended from the ruins, obscuring the sky and earth, hovering like a vast mountain as it charged toward Shanghai. Along its path, white clouds were swept aside, stirring up a fierce gale.

From the thrusters at the city's base, jets of air so scorching they could annihilate monsters above Level 100 distorted the surrounding space with heat.

Numerous powerhouses stood within the city's various structures, gazing at the clouds overhead, their hearts filled with eager anticipation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fighter jets and manned spacecraft trailed behind the city like a dense swarm of raindrops.

Ye Chen stood above the city, looking down at the glaciers they were passing. He saw that lower-altitude glaciers had already melted into sea regions, faintly revealing fiery red glows beneath the surface—like churning magma.

Suddenly, boom!

The ancient martial city had not traveled far when Ye Chen suddenly noticed a city below amidst the ice caps. The glaciers shook violently, splitting open with cracks. After a moment, a world-shattering explosion erupted from within, and a brilliant, fiery red column of magma shot out, tearing through the ice, causing steam to billow everywhere and melting vast swathes of ice.

Billows of murky gas spewed out like chimney smoke, spreading across the sky, gradually fading in color as they diffused into the clouds.

Ye Chen frowned slightly. In his previous life, the true onset of the Volcanic Age was scheduled for the next day, which would implicate every major continent on Earth. In just three days, volcanoes would erupt globally, and after those three days, not a single human would remain on the planet!

Whoosh!

The ancient martial city sped onward.

Concurrently, all global regions received notification and activated their doomsday fighters, rushing toward the Shanghai region of the Chinese zone.

Tosvatsin of Russia activated a small city-spaceship, carrying the elite members of his entire guild, charging forward. Other Huaxia base cities, like Urumqi Base City, and so on...

By the time the Guangming Base City reached Shanghai, the skies above this desolate metropolis were bustling. From afar, many massive palaces, cities, and fighter jets could be seen already anchored there, with more base cities continuously arriving from other directions.

Upon spotting the ancient martial city bearing the flag of the Guangming Base City, all the palaces and cities parted ways, clearing an empty corridor for the ancient martial city to sweep toward the immense, ancient gate standing firm on the glacier!

The Gate of Antiquity!

A brilliant light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. In his past life, when he entered the Ancient World, he was merely a nobody; his true turning point originated from that very world! Back then, he was just a bottom-tier warrior, boarding a spaceship alongside those superhuman powerhouses.

Now, he was leading the entire Earth toward antiquity.

“Go!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ye Chen moved, leaving the ancient martial city with the Purple Cloud Island Master at his side, and they descended before the Gate of Antiquity. He looked up at the gate, sheer and straight as if cut by a blade, seemingly immutable across eons, emanating waves of ancient, weathered aura.

“I wonder what metal this Gate of Antiquity is made of, tsk tsk!” the Purple Cloud Island Master exclaimed in awe.

Ye Chen replied calmly, “No one has ever known the origin of this Gate of Antiquity. Once it is opened once... it vanishes.” With that, he struck his palm out, sending forth a palm print condensed from ghostly energy, which slammed into the corresponding recess on the Gate of Antiquity.

In the face of this vast and grand gate, this single strike seemed as futile as a mayfly attempting to shake a mountain. Yet, as the print settled flush, the Gate of the Ancient World, previously motionless, suddenly shuddered. Immediately, this long-sealed door began to draw open inch by agonizing inch. A series of "kaka" sounds echoed, seeming like the sole sound in the universe, stirring an instinctual reverence and desire to kneel.

Blinding light slowly radiated from behind the gate, bathing Ye Chen entirely in white, as if coated in silver armor, making him difficult to discern clearly—only a pair of sharp, piercing eyes were visible.

“Notify everyone... enter the Ancient World in sequence!” Ye Chen said softly.

The Purple Cloud Island Master nodded, glancing at the gate. Seeing only a blinding glare, he could make out nothing, so he turned to look at the mobile cities suspended around them and shouted loudly, “Everyone! Enter the Ancient World in sequence!”

This voice boomed across heaven and earth through the exertion of ghost energy!

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed brightly as he slowly walked toward the gate, his body gradually enveloped and absorbed by the white light, disappearing within. The Purple Cloud Island Master followed him in immediately. Next, the ancient martial city, and the city steered by the Spaniard closest to them..., all the suspended cities connected to form a long dragon, heading toward the Ancient World!

The remaining base cities catching up from behind had also received notifications from the others. They dutifully formed their queues, staring in astonishment at the towering celestial gate that seemed to pierce the very atmosphere!

Time flowed, and in this instant, it felt like eons had passed, until the very first ray of light was slowly born into the world.

Ye Chen opened his eyes. A dazzling light struck them, and it took a moment for his vision to recover. He swept his gaze around, and a familiar scene entered his sight: an exceptionally spacious plaza. While called a plaza, its area rivaled that of the entire continent of Asia!

The ancient martial city was moored not far behind him, and near it, many other cities, fighter jets, and palaces had also stopped.

“En?” The Purple Cloud Island Master slowly regained consciousness, looking at the surroundings with astonishment. “Strange... how long was I unconscious?” “Three days,” Ye Chen replied gently.

The Purple Cloud Island Master paused. Though he didn't know how Ye Chen knew, he didn't press the matter. He looked up and around in wonder. “Is this the Ancient World?”

Ye Chen nodded slightly, sensing something. He turned his head toward the east. Under his gaze, a sudden whistling sound erupted from the east, sweeping over them like a hurricane. Immediately following, the figure of a giant, a thousand feet tall—resembling a massive mountain—appeared before them.

It possessed two arms, two legs, and one head, entirely similar in structure to a human!

However, its sheer volume was thousands of times that of an ordinary human! Even the towering Xuanyuan race members looked insignificant, like ants, compared to this giant.

Although standard demigod powerhouses could alter their physical size using divine strength, Ye Chen knew this giant was not a transformed demigod, but a genuine titan!

“The Prehistoric Giant Civilization!” Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with sharp light.

Rumble m

The giant slowly descended onto the plaza. Clad in golden armor and wielding a massive axe, it exuded a savage, icy aura that made it impossible to look upon directly.

“Are you the newly arrived civilization?” The giant surveyed the assembled cities; these towering structures barely reached his thighs, appearing like mere toy models.

“Yes!” Ye Chen moved, floating upward instantly, only to discover his body’s speed had become extremely slow, and his power had been weakened by nearly a hundredfold.

The oppressive force of this world was formidable. A Level 100 powerhouse from Earth would be instantly crushed here, finding it difficult even to walk, and only experts who had reached the Ghost God Realm possessed the ability to fly.

“We are the Spiritual Civilization,” Ye Chen said, slightly cupping his hands toward the giant. Sensing the fluctuations in the giant’s aura, he realized this being was not a Ghost God Realm expert, but a Pseudo-God!

His physical body had evolved to the Million Level!

If even his physical form reached the Million Level, how immense would the aura within him be? If this giant powerhouse engaged his superhuman mode, he could likely eradicate everyone present in the span of a single hand movement.

“Spiritual Civilization…” the giant murmured softly, then nodded. “Understood. Are you the leader of your civilization?” “Yes,” Ye Chen nodded slightly.

The giant man reached into his breastplate, fumbled for a moment, pulled out a jade tablet, and tossed it to Ye Chen. “I am the reception envoy of the Ancient World. This is the White Lotus Divine Province of the Ancient World. This tablet contains some basic information about the White Lotus Divine Province; review it yourself.” The jade tablet was initially ten zhang wide, but as it was thrown, it rapidly shrank, becoming only the size of an ordinary person's palm when it reached Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was surprised internally, recognizing the tablet was made of special jade that could expand or contract. He reached out and accepted it but did not look at it immediately, tucking it into his sleeve instead. He smiled, “Thank you, Envoy Sir.”

Having spent time in this world in his previous life, he knew almost everything without needing to read the tablet.

Throughout the entire White Lotus Divine Province, numerous small floating sky islands orbited, housing many prehistoric civilizations. Furthermore, there were many black holes scattered across the Divine Province, leading into the Dark Great World, which was perilous beyond measure.

Beyond that, surrounding the Divine Province was a desert filled with wandering "Soul-Lost Ones." These "Soul-Lost Ones" were ordinary people infected by the noxious gases of the borderlands, their souls extinguished, leaving behind only walking, empty husks.

The giant man glanced over the many cities on the plaza, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said plainly, “This Thunder Square is merely the reception point. There is a natural protective shield here. If you lack sufficient strength, do not linger outside the shield, or you risk becoming a 'Soul-Lost One' only to be hunted and refined into weapons by others.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

“Also, the Azure Water City is not far from here. If you lack food, you can enter the city to exchange for provisions. One more thing: you can only remain within the protection shield of this Thunder Square for 100 Epochs. Once the time is up, you will lose the protection of the Thunder Square and will be unable to re-enter.”

Ye Chen slowly nodded; he was familiar with all of this.

In the Ancient World, one Epoch equaled ten thousand years on Earth; 100 Epochs meant 1 million years!

If they failed to find a suitable place to settle within one million years, they would lose the protection of the Thunder Square and be forced to leave! Once outside the shield, without a sufficiently strong physique, they would rapidly be infected by the noxious gases permeating the skies above the entire White Lotus Divine Province and turn into "Soul-Lost Ones"! Moreover, there were countless hunters from other civilizations in the wilderness, ready to turn them into food at any moment!
