Chapter 779

The screams were incredibly piercing, not like sounds a human could make.

After the first scream, a continuous series of screams followed, accompanied by wails.

"What is happening!"

Everyone was shocked.

Nearly ten million people were gathered here, spread across the mountains and plains, stretching as far as the eye could see.

It was an unimaginably massive team.

At this moment, pillars of blood shot into the sky from within the team, and a bloody stench instantly permeated the air.

The formation descended into chaos in an instant.

Meng Anwen saw that some people in the team had suddenly mutated; their originally normal expressions turned hideous, and the reason in their eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by bloodthirsty madness.

They looked exactly like the people from other factions previously.

After mutating, these individuals immediately began attacking those around them, causing massive casualties in an instant.

"Something has gone wrong!"

"How did this happen so suddenly!"

"Don't worry about that, save people first!"

God-level experts reacted extremely quickly, and some top-tier Professionals also responded, taking action one after another.

The aura of those mutated Shenxia people began to skyrocket, and their strength increased significantly.

It was as if some sinister power had entered their bodies, forcing their growth.

Then, their body shapes also changed, with wings growing from their backs, completely transcending the category of humans.

Their strength quickly reached Level 80, enough to rival many top-tier experts.

Meng Anwen's face was extremely grim, and he gritted his teeth and said viciously, "It really is the Outsiders."

At this moment, he was certain that this was the work of the Outsiders.

The chaos erupted too suddenly; even with God-level experts taking action, they couldn't stop it completely.

For a time, casualties were heavy, with at least tens of thousands of Professionals injured.

Fortunately, there were many Healers among the Professionals, and they immediately began treatment.

Finally, the situation was brought under control and slowly calmed down.

But suddenly, more screams rang out.

The mutation happened again.

Meng Anwen's expression changed drastically; the people mutating this time were all those who had been injured earlier.

Meng Anwen understood instantly and shouted sharply, "No one who is injured is allowed to be treated!"

"Everyone, stay away from the injured!"

"God-level experts, kill the mutants immediately!"

Meng Anwen pointed towards the Shenxia Tower, and the Shenxia Tower immediately fired countless sharp beams of light, accurately killing the mutants.

Because Meng Anwen discovered it in time, the second mutation did not cause too many casualties.

In the two mutations, the original team of 8 million lost hundreds of thousands more.

In just half a day, hundreds of thousands of people died.

And these people were all his own compatriots.

Everyone's face was very ugly; this feeling of fratricide was terrible.

Meng Anwen issued orders one after another, and everyone checked themselves and those around them.

They could not be injured; once injured, there was a possibility of mutation.

Soon, everyone who had been injured, regardless of when they were injured, was found and isolated separately.

There was no other way; if they mutated, it would be another great disaster.

This mutation was like a seed; with the slightest negligence, the seed could take root and sprout.

The teleportation arrays had stopped just now, and without certainty of safety, these people had to remain in the Dragon World for the time being.

With the team remaining here, Bai Yiyuan and the others could not move.

Until now, Professionals from other factions were still rushing over from all directions, but Bai Yiyuan and the others would not let these people approach the team and killed them from afar.

Higher God-level Feng Tianzong asked, "What now?"

Meng Anwen thought for a moment, "Pile all the corpses together and burn them!"

"Separate all injured people from the team, keep them at a certain distance from each other, and have the army guard them."

"I feel that this matter is not that simple."

Higher God-level Feng Tianzong asked, "What about you?"

Meng Anwen had already realized some things, "I am going back to the Empire, I hope nothing happens there."

The Shenxia Empire was the foundation; if something happened there, it would be a big problem.

Meng Anwen arranged the affairs here and immediately activated the teleportation array to return to the Empire alone.

Just after coming out of the space-time channel, Meng Anwen's expression changed sharply.

The air was filled with the smell of blood.

Looking down from above, there were a large number of corpses lying in the city.

Many Professionals were cleaning up the corpses, as if they had just experienced a great battle.

Fires were burning everywhere; after the names of those corpses were recorded, they were thrown into the fire and burned to ashes.

Meng Anwen visited several cities in succession, and the results were much the same.

Something really had happened!

And it had happened across the entire territory of the Empire.

"Old Ning, where are you?" Meng Anwen contacted Ning Tairan.

"The Imperial Palace!" Ning Tairan replied quickly.

In the Imperial Palace, a group of senior officials of the Shenxia Empire were gathered.

Everyone had a grave expression, and the atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

The huge pillars in the palace occasionally creaked, as if they could not bear this oppression.

After Meng Anwen arrived, there was no superfluous talk, and they quickly exchanged the intelligence they possessed.

Based on the information currently known, a conclusion was reached.

The source of this mutation was everyone except the Shenxia people.

At first, the Shenxia people were not affected.

This included Shenxia people living abroad, who were also unaffected.

But those mixed-race individuals carrying Shenxia bloodline were affected and mutated in the first round.

In that mutation, many Shenxia people died, but even more were injured.

Those injured Shenxia people had recovered after treatment.

Most of them were combat-type Professionals, basically all on the front lines.

Only a small number had returned to their hometowns and spread across the country.

Then came the second round of mutation.

At this time, the Shenxia people were also affected and mutated; these mutants were all people who had been injured by the mutants in the first round.

This also shows that this mutation is infectious.

The Empire had also taken corresponding measures, similar to the measures Meng Anwen adopted in the Dragon World.

Isolate the injured, burn the corpses, and prevent further accidents.

Meng Anwen looked at Medicine God Shu, "Old Medicine, what do you think?"

Medicine God Shu said in a low voice, "I have researched it, but have not gained anything. The source of this mutation should be in people without the Shenxia bloodline."

Even Medicine God Shu could not find the root of the problem, making the matter extremely difficult.

"Bloodline?" Dongfang Li suddenly said, "I seem to have seen some materials!"

Dongfang Li was in charge of the Royal Secret Repository, and he had read all the records about ancient history in the Royal Secret Repository.

Among them were some materials that had been lost, which the Royal Family still retained.

Chapter 775: Once upon a time, there were only Shenxia people in the world; were they hybrids?

Dongfang Li quickly found the materials from the secret repository.

This was a very, very ancient book, with at least a thousand years of history.

The ancient book had clearly been restored, and now the pages were scattered and preserved in a box.

Meng Anwen only needed one look to know that this ancient book was older than the history of the Shenxia Empire.

The history before the Shenxia Empire was incomplete.

Only the Royal Family retained a small amount of information.

Dongfang Li said, "The text on it is very ancient, but it is somewhat similar to the text of our Shenxia Empire."

"According to the records in the ancient book, in ancient times, we experienced a world-shaking war here."

"Therefore, a gap appeared in historical records."

Everyone present had heard legends about that war.

Some people believed that the Super God path was severed and the gods fell, all seemingly related to that war.

Others believed that the war was purely fictitious and had never happened at all.

Unexpectedly, within the Royal Family, there were records about that war.

Even if it was just a few fragments, it could prove that the war had existed.

Dongfang Li said, "According to the records, in that war, one side was a coalition of our human race and the gods."

What!

Everyone was shocked, looking at Dongfang Li in disbelief.

Ning Tairan's mouth twitched twice, "Then what about the other side? Was it the Abyssal Demon or the Dragon World?"

Dongfang Li shook his head, "I don't know, the ancient book is severely damaged, and this piece of information is lost."

Ning Tairan sighed softly; this was helpless, after all, it was too long ago.

Meng Anwen had already guessed who the other side was; they were the invaders from outside the sky.

Including this time, it was most likely the work of those guys from outside the sky.

Ning Tairan asked, "What connection does the matter from that time have with our current situation?"

Dongfang Li said, "I used to be obsessed with the study of ancient history and have read countless records about ancient history. Combined with my own judgment, I have reached a conclusion."

"At that time, the human race referred to us Shenxia people, and there were no those guys with blonde hair and blue eyes."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again.

Senior Ye Hao said in a low voice, "I have also heard similar words before, and the saying 'those who are not of our race must have different hearts' has also been passed down from our ancestors."

"The ancestors left such words; there must be a deep meaning."

Ning Tairan said in a low voice, "According to your statement, if there were only us Shenxia people in the human race, where did those foreigners come from?"

Dongfang Li shook his head, indicating he did not know.

He could not make an accurate judgment on this question.
