Chapter 631 - 234: The Mortal World Is a Juicy Piece of Meat Everyone Wants a Bite Of (Part 2)

"General Cang Xueyang successfully rescued the survivors, and the Medicine King then designated the northern mountainous area of the Central Yu Alliance as a place for them to live."

"After nearly two thousand years of development, the Green Blood People’s population has exceeded one million, and they have become one of the masters of the Central Yu Continent."

Realizing that the topic was straying too far, Elder Tan Nan finally remembered to answer the question Xu Xingguang had previously asked.

She told Xu Xingguang, "The Eastern Alliance has always advocated breaking the barrier of the Divine Martial Realm to merge with the Mortal World. But the Divine Hidden Alliance believes that our Old Ancestor abandoned the Infected back then and thinks we are the descendants of sinners, unworthy of returning to the Mortal World."

"Moreover, in the Mortal World, everyone is ordinary. When a group of Super Power Users suddenly appears, it would inevitably disrupt the peace and tranquility of the Mortal World. Therefore, the Divine Hidden Alliance has consistently opposed the approach of the Eastern Alliance."

"However, the Eastern Alliance is facing resource scarcity, and social conflicts are intensifying. If suitable new lands can’t be found, chaos is inevitable."

The more Elder Tan Nan spoke, the deeper her frown became.

She sighed, "The Mortal World is like a piece of fatty meat."

Everyone wants a bite of that fatty meat.

Even Elder Tan Nan can clearly see the growing ambition of the Eastern Alliance. It shows that the Eastern Alliance is truly eager, just waiting for an opportunity like people staying up in anticipation on New Year’s Eve, ready to light fireworks as the clock strikes midnight.

And that opportunity is the day when humans in the Mortal World mutate into beasts.

Once humans in the Mortal World mutate into beasts, the Eastern Alliance can find a legitimate excuse to massively invade the Mortal World.

"You still haven’t told me why Qu Yanling is doing those unspeakable things. You are the mistress of the Huo Family in the Mortal World. From what I understand, the Huo Family holds more power in the Mortal World than the Commander of Divine Xia Country. Why would Qu Yanling do this? You should be aware."

Elder Tan Nan is not Mrs. Tang or Aunt Zhao. She is a well-known and respected Doctor among the Ying Clan, having profound insight into the Divine Martial Realm’s various situations.

Xu Xingguang cannot deceive Elder Tan Nan in the way he might deceive Mrs. Tang and Aunt Zhao.

Through Elder Tan Nan’s recent demeanor, Xu Xingguang can see her disdain for the actions of the Eastern Alliance.

After all, she is a Doctor, different from those belligerent folks of the Eastern Alliance.

Xu Xingguang no longer hid the experiences of the Mortal World from her.

"I previously mentioned that the Mortal World is facing an unprecedented crisis, and it’s true. Qu Yanling developed a mutating drug, causing millions of children in the Mortal World to face the fate of mutating into beasts."

"We did interrogate her and obtained some clues. She said she’s doing all this to redeem herself by contributing to her family’s rise. As for contribution..."

"Transforming everyone in the Mortal World into beasts enables the forces behind her in the Divine Martial Realm to massively invade the Mortal World. That, she calls a contribution." Xu Xingguang’s eyes were cold as ice, his voice dripping with frost, drifting into Elder Tan Nan’s ears.

Elder Tan Nan’s pupils trembled, and the teacup in her hand shook.

"My goodness..."

She quickly took a sip of Black Eagle Tea.

The bitter, cool tea couldn’t calm her down.

"Are you suggesting that some in the Divine Martial Realm are planning to mutate everyone in the Mortal World into beasts to justify their massive invasion?"

Xu Xingguang let out a scornful laugh and said sarcastically, "The Mortal World has a population of two billion. Trying to conquer it by force would surely provoke outrage and condemnation from the entire Divine Martial Realm. But if there are no humans left in the Mortal World, only strange beasts, wouldn’t that provide the perfect excuse for the masterminds?"

Elder Tan Nan’s pale face resembled a candle burning in the night, ghostly white.

She swallowed hard before saying, "Do you... have evidence?"

"Evidence?"

Xu Xingguang took out a stack of documents from the Reincarnation Space, "Is this evidence enough?" He handed the pile of documents to Elder Tan Nan.

She put down her teacup and hesitantly opened the files, immediately seeing a large experimental base composed of hundreds of thousands of glass cabinets. This was the underground experimental base in Cangshan Town.

She saw the ’beasts’ either sitting or standing or appearing terrifying and dead, feeling her soul being hammered, her whole body cold.

"Are these... real beasts?" She dearly hoped these were just unfortunate beasts, captured for research experiments.

Xu Xingguang shook his head slightly and told her, "These were homeless people from around the world that Qu Yanling secretly brought in; they are the first batch of experimental mutants."

Elder Tan Nan opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound for a long time.

Suppressing her intense fear, she continued flipping through the documents and saw more detailed images of the ’Mortal World Clearance Plan’ experimental base. She continued flipping and saw Qu Yanling imprisoned in Emperor Sea Cell No. 1.

Elder Tan Nan had never seen Qu Yanling personally, but she recognized the portrait of Qu Yanling marked with "Sin Slave." The woman in Xu Xingguang’s information matched Qu Yanling’s portrait exactly.

This was indeed Qu Yanling.

Continuing to flip through the files, Elder Tan Nan saw children imprisoned on the first underground level of Secret Research Facility No. 23—their bodies had started to mutate.

Some children had grown tails, some had ears mutated into beast ears, and some had hands turning into bizarre beast claws, with soft pads growing on them.

Bang!

Elder Tan Nan slammed the document shut.

She closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently.

At this moment, a burning fury ignited in Elder Tan Nan’s heart, "Despicable."
