I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1246: Sudden Change of Situation
As the Meteor Star Ancient Ship drew near the coast, the cultivators on board became increasingly agitated. Before the vessel could even finish docking, several individuals were unable to contain themselves, leaping into the air and flying toward the shore.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
A growing number of figures descended upon the coastline, their feet finally making contact with solid earth. That tangible feeling of ground beneath them sparked a wave of intense excitement, and cries of triumph rang out across the beach.
“We made it! We have finally arrived!”
“So this is the Land of Fallen Gods!”
“Fate is on my side! To reach the Land of Fallen Gods without injury—it is my destiny to reach the peak of the Great Dao!”
“Hahahaha!”
Men and women alike paced the sandy shore with fervor, their unbridled joy spreading like a wildfire. Once the ship was fully secured, the gangplank was finally lowered.
While some walked onto the beach with caution, choosing not to fly out of respect for this legendary domain, others soared over the sands, desperate to reach firmer terrain.
In the middle of the frantic crowd, a quiet light flickered in Lin Ruowei’s eyes.
Accompanied closely by her maidservant, she walked with a steady pace across the sand. Although the fulfillment of her lifelong dream was visible in her delicate expression, she remained poised—neither shouting in joy nor rushing forward blindly.
Within a few minutes, everyone from the Meteor Star Ancient Ship had moved past the shoreline. Their initial burst of euphoria began to fade, replaced by a growing curiosity as they took in the sights of the new continent.
Standing at the edge of a dense mangrove forest, many of the cultivators looked around with confused expressions.
Eventually, the crowd turned their attention toward the captain of the enforcement squad.
“Captain,”
“What is our next move? Should we stay in a group or split up?”
“This Land of Fallen Gods doesn’t look particularly special...”
“Where is our first destination? Are there truly powerful masters living here?”
Faced with a barrage of questions, the captain knit his brows in frustration. He was also stepping into the Land of Fallen Gods for the very first time—how could he possibly have the answers?
But just as the group crowded around him—
Suddenly!
The sky above began to ripple with numerous spatial distortions!
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
In an instant, a multitude of figures appeared in the air, their numbers so immense they obscured the sun like a massive dark cloud. The atmosphere itself seemed to turn to ice under the weight of their crushing presence.
The travelers fell into a stunned silence, their complexions turning pale as they stared upward in horror.
Even the enforcement captain became rigid, his eyes stretching wide with a mixture of shock and terror.
“This...”
“Their Cultivation... how can it be this frightening? I cannot even detect a hint of their aura!”
His admission sent a wave of panic through the gathered cultivators.
“That’s impossible!”
“If even the captain cannot sense their power... just who are these people?!”
“They must be the local inhabitants of the Land of Fallen Gods!”
“Tsk...”
This sudden appearance snapped everyone out of their reverie. Tension thickened as the newcomers noticed the icy, nearly aggressive looks on the faces of the figures hovering above. By instinct, the travelers huddled closer together.
After a few moments of heavy silence, whispers began to circulate.
“What is happening?”
“They don’t look like they’re welcoming us.”
“That makes no sense. We are fellow human cultivators who have traveled across the great seas to be here. Why would they be so hostile?”
“I don’t like this! Something is definitely wrong!”
Suspicion spread through the ranks, making the oppressive air feel even heavier.
The joy of arriving at the Land of Fallen Gods had been extinguished like a flame hit by cold water. Every person was on high alert, sensing an approaching storm.
Lin Ruowei stood protected in the center of the group, her maidservant shivering at her side.
“Y-young Mistress... what is going on?!”
She offered no reply, merely shaking her head slightly. However, a flicker of dread appeared in her eyes—a dark premonition was beginning to take root in her heart...

Cliffbreaker City.
Inside a majestic hall, Yao Qianji was seated upon a throne carved with dragons, idly drumming his fingers. Several jade slips floated in front of him, glowing with flowing streams of data.
A guard clad in black armor marched into the room, cupping his fists in a respectful salute.
“Reporting to my Lord!”
“The outsiders have reached the shore by ship and are currently encircled on the beach. How shall we handle them? We await your command!”
Yao Qianji shifted his cold eyes toward the guard.
“Handle them?”
“Pests like those have only one destination.”
“If my memory serves, a Meteor Star Heaven Mine was recently found in the Northern Barren Wastes—an ancient site that is notoriously difficult to mine. They are desperate for workers. Send those wretches there.”
The guard paused for a second before voicing his concern.
“My Lord, this...”
“Would this be... wise?”
“Even though those outsiders are trivial, the Ten Thousand Domains Alliance is mostly made up of their kind. After growing for tens of thousands of years, their reach is significant. They are very protective of their own—if word of this reaches them, they might not take it lightly.”
Yao Qianji’s face darkened, his mouth twisting into a mocking sneer.
“Hmph.”
“What do I care for the Ten Thousand Domains Alliance?”
“Even if they find out, would they really dare to break their ties with our Black Dragon Divine Guards over a handful of pathetic newcomers? The Alliance might be strong, but they are just a pack of outsiders huddled together for warmth. Their roots are shallow—they would never risk a major conflict over such a small matter.”
His scorn intensified, treating all outsiders as if they were nothing more than insects beneath his notice.
