Chapter 438 Two Dao Maps!
On the golden beach.
The tide surged in waves, making a roaring sound.
The mysterious old man was wearing black sunglasses, lying on a wicker chair, drinking a glass of ice-cold Coke, and slowly enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
“You want to kill the strong man who transcends the realm?”
The mysterious old man chuckled and said: "Actually, it's not difficult to say, and it's not easy to say it's simple. Didn't I tell you before that the entire time and space is divided into three parts, one ancient, one contemporary, and one future.
Among them, the ancient period is the most dangerous, and the future period has the most powerful people. If you want to kill the guy who has transcended the realm, you might as well use the power of time and space to send him to a certain time and space node in the ancient times or the future. Then there will naturally be people there. You can kill him easily. This is the most labor-saving and quickest way. "
“Distributed to ancient or future time and space nodes?”
Yang Fang was surprised.
Simply put.
But how to distribute it is the problem.
And how to cultivate the power of time and space?
Although he has the God of Cause and Effect and can trace the past and future along the line of cause and effect, it can only work on himself. It is undoubtedly impossible to assign others to the past and future.
"Don't you have a **** seed? As far as I know, it seems that as long as more than ten **** seeds are gathered, the power of time and space will naturally be generated. Or, you can also directly find a **** seed that specifically has the function of time and space. , this way you can also master the power of time and space."
The mysterious old man smiled.
“Can more than ten divine seeds be collected to generate the power of time and space?”
Yang Fang asked.
The divine species actually has such a mystery.
He has now collected eight, and there are only two left to collect ten.
“Not only will it produce the power of space and time, there may also be other incredible changes.”
The mysterious old man chuckled.
"By the way, senior, the origin of the divine seed is said to come from a mysterious ancient sky map. Is that true? But why are all the Tao maps that appear later broken? When the junior first obtained the divine seed, , it seems that is not the case yet.”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
"The so-called ancient sky map is actually just a heaven-defying treasure that was inadvertently produced by the mastermind behind the scenes when he was refining the Tao Fruit. However, when the treasure matured, it was deliberately broken into pieces and left to wander. In this world, after all, if such a treasure falls into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be a real despair for all living beings. Only by breaking it can it bring a glimmer of life to all living beings. This is why some Tao diagrams are complete. , some Dao diagrams are broken."
The mysterious old man sighed softly.
“Being deliberately broken by someone?”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
"Yes, and gathering too many divine seeds is not a good thing. After all, this thing is valued by the mastermind behind the scenes. You can think about it, if he wakes up and finds that the divine seeds are scattered all over the world and are obtained by others, what will happen? What kind of situation is it?"
The mysterious old man smiled.
Yang Fang’s head froze.
“Will he be directly killed by the mastermind behind the scenes and regain his divine seed?”
"It seems that you are not stupid, but don't worry too much. Even if you don't collect the divine seeds, when the mastermind behind the scenes wakes up, he will still clean up the world. After all, the Dao Fruit in Shenxu Continent is only one step away from being mature. It is necessary to use the essence of all living beings to complete the final sublimation, so whether you collect the divine seeds or not, you will not escape death."
The mysterious old man said slowly.
Yang Fang was speechless for a moment.
“So, no matter what you do, you will die?”
“It’s not absolute. If you are strong enough, you may be able to live for a while if you temporarily hide in the future.”
The mysterious old man smiled.
Yang Fang felt heavy and did not say any more.
ˆ···
The other direction.
Shenxu Continent.
Between the vast mountains and rivers.
Yang Fang's body appeared here again, still in an illusory state. As soon as it appeared, he glanced around, and then started walking directly.
This time he appeared in the Shenxu Continent again. It can be clearly seen that many huge altars have been built in various major regions.
Standing one after another between heaven and earth, they are like towering pyramids.
Each altar is thousands of feet high.
He has only been away from Shenxu Continent for a few months, and the changes in Shenxu Continent have been so great.
“It seems that those old antiques in the dark are restless. They built the altar to keep an eye on the Shenxu Continent. Could it be that... they all realize that the catastrophe is coming?”
Yang Fang was thoughtful.
According to the mysterious old man, when a great calamity comes, everyone in the world will do whatever it takes to improve themselves.
The fastest way to improve oneself is to refine treasures such as the Sky-Shattering Flag, the Nine Nether Maps, and the God-killing Flag.
This kind of treasure often requires the slaughter of hundreds of millions of creatures to master it.
Since the age of mythology, all the creatures on the entire Shenxu Continent are just reproduced by the essence of the Tao Fruit.
So refining sentient beings is equivalent to refining the essence of Tao and Fruit in a disguised form.
This is why treasures such as the Sky-Shattering Flag, the Nine Netherworlds Map, and the God-killing Flag are so powerful!
They were all refined by their respective masters after they deliberately stole the Dao Fruit from the mastermind behind the scenes!
Now that there are so many altars appearing in the Shenxu Continent, Yang Fang has to suspect that the owners of these altars want to take advantage of the great catastrophe to imitate the owners of the Sky-breaking Flag and the Nine Nether Maps and steal the Dao. Fruit essence can be used to refine a treasure that defies heaven.
“These guys are so crazy.”
Yang Fang whispered.
Poor beings on this Shenxu Continent, they don’t know anything yet.
Once the last wave of catastrophe comes, I'm afraid no one will be able to survive.
ˆ···
Unknowingly, Yang Fang entered the Tianlong Domain again.
Looking around.
I saw that this place happened to be located in the old forest of the Southern Wilderness.
There are rolling hills everywhere, and at regular intervals, you can see an inconspicuous earth city.
In the middle of the earth cities, extremely tall altars would appear from time to time, black and tall, filled with invisible power.
This is already the territory of the Demon Sect.
Yang Fang thought for a moment and decided to go to the Demon Sect ancestor first to ask about the situation.
The ancestor of the Demon Sect must know about the divine seeds in the Shenxu Continent. After all, he is observing the Shenxu Continent through the altar all the time.
ˆ···
In a hidden city.
Dark underground space.
The surrounding area is studded with huge luminous pearls.
Ying Tianxiong, the master of the Demon Sect, is standing here respectfully, quietly staring at the three-eyed sculpture in front of him.
"What a troubled time it has been. Who would have thought that the origin of the God Seed would be so great that it would alarm some beings in the darkness and haze."
“Ancestor, do we still want to get this divine seed?”
Ying Tianxiong spoke respectfully.
A jade box was placed in front of him.
There is a complete Tao map placed inside. It is dark in color, covered with runes, and has a mysterious energy.
"It's not so easy to get it this time. If no one was paying attention in the past, we could take action at will. But now that we have attracted the attention of so many powerful people, I'm afraid that in the end, stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. Besides, , this time there are actually five divine seeds hidden in the same place, which is really incredible."
The dark black three-eyed sculpture spoke.
“The five divine seeds are hidden in the same place?”
Ying Tianxiong was shocked.
“Yes, this incident is beyond everyone’s expectations, and it is said that an ancient divine tomb is buried there, which has a heaven-defying creation. It is conceivable that this fight for the divine seed must be a battle between dragons and tigers.”
Three-Eyed Sculpture with emotion.
“How is it possible? The divine seed and divine mausoleum are actually in the same place?”
Ying Tianxiong was surprised.
"That kind of place has obviously been deliberately arranged by someone. It's not something that someone just breaks into. No matter what, this Dao map should be carefully preserved and must not be exposed. I will take it out at the most appropriate time." take out."
Three-Eyed Sculpture said.
“Yes, ancestor!”
Ying Tianxiong respectfully worshiped.
Boom!
Suddenly, a rich sense of foreboding filled the entire underground space.
Blood-colored lightning came down instantly, crackling and covering the hall.
Ying Tianxiong's expression changed and he quickly grabbed the picture in front of him.
But it was still too late. A ray of eight-colored rays of light swept past, sweeping across the middle road map and flying it up from the ground.
“Presumptuous!”
There was also a violent shaking on the side of the black three-eyed sculpture, and there was a terrifying aura, and then a golden glow shot out from the vertical eye between his eyebrows, directly towards the eight-color glow.
As a result, his raised eyebrows were absorbed on the spot and disappeared.
The black road map fell directly into the hands of a burly figure.
“Ancestor of the Demon Sect, Ying Tianxiong, thank you very much. I didn’t expect that you would give me such a great gift just after I arrived.”
Yang Fang sighed softly, standing under the eight-color vortex.
"It's you!"
The three-eyed sculpture stared at Yang Fang and said: "You are not dead, and you are not liquidated by the madman?"
Some time ago, the crazy demon went crazy and attacked the Shenxu Continent through the altar, smashing many cities to pieces and causing a shock.
Many people speculated that Yang Fang must die.
But now he appears alive and kicking again?
Moreover, he sneaked into his stronghold and took away the Dao map!
"Madness?"
Yang Fang spoke calmly and said: "Who said a crazy demon can kill me? A crazy demon is not truly invincible!"
"you!"
The three-eyed sculpture was startled and stared at Yang Fang carefully again.
Maybe even the madman can't stop this young man.
How is this possible?
The madman has a great reputation and terrifying strength. He is a top figure in the middle and late stages of the ancient gods. Even he has to stay away, but he can't do anything to this young man.
"Okay, Yang Dao, you really exceeded my expectations. If you want this Dao map, I will give it to you. Do you have anything else?"
The three-eyed sculpture spoke.
He is extremely aware of current affairs, and in his current state, he cannot take action more than once.
“You said before that five divine seeds appeared in the same place?”
Yang Fang asked.
“Yeah, I didn’t even think of that.”
The three-eyed sculpture sighed softly and said: "And there are probably taboos buried in that kind of place. I'm afraid it's not that easy to access."
“Oh? What is the specific place and what’s its name?”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
“The name of that place is Yindu Mountain. It is not on the Qian plate, but on the Kun plate. Just by listening to the name, you should be able to guess something.”
Three-Eyed Sculpture said.
“Yindu Mountain?”
Yang Fang muttered to himself, carefully holding the Dao diagram in his hand.
"It is rumored that it is the resting place of the dead. Many dead souls can be seen there. Even the remnant souls of the ancient gods are wandering there. The deepest areas are almost unexplored. Moreover, in addition to the gods, I also I heard that a divine palace appeared inside, which is suspected to be the tomb of a divine king from the ancient times, and contains shocking creations."
Three-eyed sculpture opening.
“The tomb of the God King?”
“Yes, but I don’t know whether the news is true or false.”
Three-eyed sculpture opening.
Yang Fang frowned.
All five divine seeds fell into a tomb of the God King.
This seems a bit surprising.
Could it be that someone is really arranging this secretly?
He continued to ask other questions to the three-eyed sculpture.
The three-eyed sculptures responded one by one and were extremely cooperative.
When it was over, Yang Fang said, "Master of the Demon Sect, you have built so many altars, what are they going to be used for?"
"Brother Yang, why do you need to ask questions knowingly about this kind of thing? I am not the only one who builds altars. The world is big and there are many people who do it. Even if I don't do it, others will do it. All we want is to survive. , what can be wrong with this."
Three-Eyed Sculpture said calmly.
Yang Fang was silent for a moment.
“Well, one survived.”
He did not say much in the end.
He glanced at the **** lightning above his head, and his body slowly returned to nothingness again and disappeared.
“Ancestor, Daotu... Daotu really let him take him away?”
Ying Tianxiong spoke anxiously.
"I'm afraid this man is not a thing in the pool. Even the mad devil can't do anything to him. It's a bit incredible."
The three-eyed sculpture's voice was solemn, staring at the outside world from a distance, and said: "I will carefully inquire about his deeds in the next two days to see why the madman did not succeed."
“Yes, ancestor.”
Ying Tianxiong spoke respectfully.
ˆ···
far away.
Yang Fang was in nothingness. After taking another three glances at the sculpture, he walked step by step towards the distance, holding the Dao map in his hand and silently sensing it.
Not long after, he sensed a mysterious light spot located far away, echoing the divine seed in his body.
But it’s the same as the three-eyed sculpture.
The location of this divine seed is indeed very strange.
The sacred and gloomy atmosphere coexist with each other, giving people a feeling of boundless desolation and death. The more you sense it, the more you can notice the empty silence.
Yang Fang frowned.
There is such a place in Shenxu Continent?
However, he did not rush towards that area, but rushed to the Flame Dragon League first.
ˆ···
The area where Stone City is located is extremely desolate.
The mountains are surrounded by mountains, green and green, making it difficult to see the bottom.
There are several mountain peaks, where the grass and trees are swaying, the wind is blowing, and the piercing howling wind brings waves of cold breath.
This sinister wind seems to be everywhere, like the tip of a needle, rushing in all directions in the void.
If you pay close attention, you can immediately detect the strong resentment contained in this dark wind.
Yinfengmen has a mysterious origin. It is said that there is ancient power behind the scenes. As soon as it was born, it suppressed the original four major forces.
Even the evil organizations have also stopped a lot, unwilling to compete with them.
In the entire Qian sector, the Yin Feng Sect acts viciously and uses cruel methods, and all the major forces have turned against them.
Especially not long ago, a group of masters from Bang Country and Sakura Country accidentally fell into the hands of Yin Feng Sect and almost all of them were killed.
At this moment.
The guardian of the Yin Feng Sect with gray hair and a face like chicken skin, Venerable Xuanyin, stands on the top of the tree, with a sneer on his face, looking down, the ancestral orifices between his eyebrows open, his spiritual power is vast, and he cooperates with the endless wind, whistling towards the front. And went, trying to find Ye Xuan, Jiang Ren, and Shen Tao hidden in that kind of place.
"The nearby mountains have been blocked by me. I'll see where you can escape. When I find you, I will extract your souls and peel off your skin, and enjoy the pain of being devoured by thousands of ghosts!"
He said with a sneer.
In a place of thick grass.
Ye Xuan gritted his teeth secretly, kept his breath introverted, his body was covered by grass leaves, and he held a simple jade in his hand to cover his breath firmly, making his breath almost blend with the surrounding environment.
He cursed secretly in his heart.
During this period, all kinds of experiences made him exhausted.
Unlucky things and lucky things kept coming one after another, and each one surprised him.
First, his Ye family was destroyed overnight. Then he escaped by chance and fell into a cliff. He unexpectedly received the inheritance of an ancient **** and reached the peak of the second ladder of the Holy Spirit in one fell swoop.
As soon as he got out of trouble, he was targeted by the **** Yin Feng Sect again. He fought with the masters of Yin Feng Sect and shocked the world. He killed many elders of Yin Feng Sect and was chased for thousands of miles by the Yin Feng Sect's protectors.
However, during the pursuit, he met Jiang Ren and Shen Tao who came to support him. They were also seriously injured and fled for their lives with him.
While escaping, he was lucky enough to get a incomplete Tao map and an ancient secret.
At this moment!
He could only use the ancient breath-condensing jade on his body to temporarily hide here in order to hide the other party's induction.
As for Jiang Ren and Shen Tao, they have completely separated from him.
He doesn’t know how the other two are doing now.
In the entire Yanlong Alliance, apart from the three of them, only Ishii Yan from the Demon City and Wang Kai from Qingshi are in charge. As for the others, their cultivation is too weak and they cannot compete at all.
But Cheng Tianye, Ren Jun and others from before are still facing the wall in Zhuanlun Temple and have not been released at all, so even if they find someone to ask for help, it is impossible.
"calm down."
Ye Xuan told himself over and over again.
Only with a calm mind can it be possible to find hope.
Once you fall into panic, you will definitely die!
On the top of the tree.
Venerable Xuanyin, the protector of the Yinfeng Sect, searched for a while but found nothing. His face was cold, the aura on his body was even colder, his eyes were like a terrible poisonous snake, he sneered: "Hide it, I will see how long you can hide it, before you offend me." You are too wishful thinking to try to escape even though you have broken into my Yin Feng Sect. My domain is sealed in all directions, and even if the entire ground is lifted, I still have to find you!"
Boom!
He mobilized the field with all his strength, searched like a carpet, and began to crush the plants, trees, and rocks into pieces.
Ye Xuan's heart sank.
This Venerable Xuanyin is so ruthless!
Really want to do a blanket search?
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will definitely not die so easily. I am the beacon of the ancient power, and the person whom the ancient power focuses on training. If I die, the ancient power will not be able to sit still."
Ye Xuan whispered in his heart.
But seeing that Venerable Xuanyin's domain was getting closer and closer to him, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered, Ye Xuan couldn't help but panic, gritting his teeth in his heart, preparing for a desperate fight.
But just now!
Sudden changes occurred!
Boom!
The entire sky began to turn red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the sky and the sun, and the red mist rolled in, as if it were dyed with blood.
Following this, a large amount of **** lightning emerged, one after another coming down, densely packed like a spider web.
An eight-color vortex appeared below the **** lightning in the sky.
Venerable Xuanyin looked shocked and turned around quickly.
“You are...this is impossible!”
His voice was horrified, he couldn't believe it, his soul was horrified, his flesh and blood trembled, he turned around and ran away without thinking, his soul was almost gone.
He knew very well who this was as a sign.
But hasn’t the other party been liquidated by the madman?
Why does it appear again?
"The madman failed to kill you? Senior Yang, you can't kill me. I am a member of the Great Pluto King, and I am responsible for building an altar in Shenxu Continent!"
Venerable Xuanyin ran away and screamed in panic.
Boom!
Under Yang Fang's control, a streak of **** lightning turned into a streak of red light, which instantly penetrated the void and submerged the body of Lord Xuanyin.
ah!
Venerable Xuanyin's entire body evaporated on the spot, leaving not even a scrap behind.
The terrifying scene shocked Ye Xuan, Jiang Ren, and Shen Tao who were hiding in the dark, and they quickly emerged.
They looked up.
Under the rich blood-colored lightning, Yang Fang's body stood quietly, with an eight-color vortex above his head, like an ancient **** king, with a deep and long aura.
The sky was full of scarlet lightning flying randomly above his head, the scene was astonishing.
“Master!”
Ye Xuan and the others shouted in surprise and rushed over quickly.
Yang Fang stood under the rich blood-colored lightning, and looked at Ye Xuan and the others with his vicissitudes of eyes, as if he could see directly into the depths of the souls of the three of them.
The three of them were startled, and all the hairs on their bodies stood up.
“The marks on the three of you are getting stronger and must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise someone among the three of you will definitely die!”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
These three people are all marked by Yinquan, and only one of the three is destined to survive.
This time they were robbed one after another, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
If he hadn't arrived in time, the end of the three people would have been absolutely terrible.
"What?"
The expressions of the three people changed.
“Master, please save us!”
“How to remove marks?”
They spoke quickly.
Yang Fang was thoughtful and said nothing.
There is only one way to save them, which is to draw out the dark spring behind the scenes, and then take action against the opponent yourself.
This way can the three of them escape their fate.
"There is a way, but it is full of risks. It depends on whether you dare to gamble or not?"
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
“Master, please tell me, what should we do?”
Ye Xuan spoke.
"Ye Xuan, your cultivation is the strongest among the three. The remaining two are most likely to be defeated by you. Now you are getting closer and closer to the realm of immortality. The only way is to let you break through the immortality first and attract If the opponent seizes the body, I will wait for the opportunity to take action and intercept the opponent. Of course, I am not very sure of my action, and I may not be able to stop the opponent. How about it? Do you dare to take a gamble? "
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
What?
Ye Xuan and others all became uneasy and frightened.
“Master, how confident are you?”
“Let’s open it five to five times.”
Yang Fang said.
Based on the Demon Lord and Sword Demon he faced before, it can be seen that Yinquan's strength will not be that weak.
It is said that it is a 50-50 plan, but Yang Fang is always promoting himself.
But if the three of them didn't gamble, Jiang Ren and Shen Tao would definitely not survive long.
For a time, the minds of the three of them were all struggling fiercely.
Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and started to curse.
"damn it!"
He knew that even if he didn't gamble this time, it would be useless. Once he reached the realm of immortality, he would still be taken away from him.
It’s nothing more than a matter of dying early or dying late!
“Okay, I bet!”
He gritted his teeth.
"Okay, during this period, you don't need to go anywhere, just stay in the Yanlong League. When I finish collecting the divine seeds, I will naturally help you remove the marks. By the way, if I collect a few more divine seeds, I'm sure It should be bigger.”
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
The current eight-color vortex is already so terrifying. If it reaches the nine-color vortex, the power will be even more incredible.
If you can reach the ten-color vortex, it will involve the mystery of time and space.
Rescuing Ye Xuan and the others is a piece of cake!
“Master, I also got half a Tao map not long ago.”
Ye Xuan quickly took out half a dark yellow ancient picture of animal skin from the ring.
"oh?"
Yang Fang's eyes flashed and he quickly took it into his hand.
Ye Xuan actually got half of it.
He held it in his hand, sensed it carefully, and soon discovered that it was true, and it resonated with the eight divine seeds in his body.
Not only that, he quickly sensed where the other half of the Dao map was.
“Very good, Ye Xuan, let’s go, I will **** you back first.”
Yang Fang opened his mouth and said: "You just go back now, no one will stop you in the meantime."
After finishing speaking, his body began to dim slowly, and then became blurry.
The **** lightning and **** clouds high in the sky also dispersed.
“Master!”
The three of them drank loudly.
"I can't show up easily, I can only **** you in secret, let's start setting off."
Yang Fang's voice sounded again, once again causing the sky to surge with thunderclouds and lightning.
Ye Xuan and the others suddenly trembled with excitement, then nodded and started to set off.
ˆ···
The other direction.
In a cold corner.
tens of thousands of meters underground.
Angry roars came directly from the mysterious and dark ancient palace, and then an extremely huge black shadow rushed out from inside, raised a huge palm, and smashed the entire ancient palace to pieces with one slap.
“Yang Dao’er, you bullied me too much!”
He let out a roar that shook the entire underground space.
The curse from outside almost invaded.
“Venerable Xuanyin, what happened? Why are you so angry?”
A majestic and heavy voice came from a distance and entered the mind of Venerable Xuanyin.
Venerable Xuanyin's expression changed, he quickly restrained his breath, saluted respectfully, and said: "King of the Underworld, my subordinate's clone was destroyed outside. It was Yang Dao who did it. I beg the King of the Underworld to make the decision for my subordinates!"
“Yang Dao?”
The majestic voice sighed with emotion and said: "I can't do anything to him, let's forget about it. He only destroyed your clone, not your body. Don't cause trouble anymore!"
"Great Pluto King, how could it be possible? Isn't Yang Dao still your opponent? As long as you take action, you can easily defeat him, and you can even make friends with the madman!"
Venerable Xuanyin spoke quickly.
"Crazy devil? The mad devil has been suppressed by Yang Dao. This person has completely become a climate, causing endless fluctuations in the darkness and haze. Are you sure you want to be an enemy of him again?"
The sigh of the Great Pluto King came here.
"What?"
Venerable Xuanyin was shocked and almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.
The madman was suppressed by Yang Dao?
What kind of joke is this?
Who is the madman!
Who can suppress him?
This is a legend of an era.
"I know you don't believe it. To be honest, even I don't believe it. Unfortunately, some of my friends have brought the news out of the dark haze, and it is indeed true."
The King of the Underworld sighed softly and said: "So, let's forget about this matter, it's just a clone, there's no harm in refining another one."
“Yes, Hades!”
Venerable Xuanyin was sweating coldly and spoke honestly.
How is this Yang Dao so terrifying?
Is he the reincarnation of some super old monster?
ˆ···
Time spent.
Two days later.
In the Godly Desolate Territory.
Ye Xuan, Jiang Ren, and Shen Tao passed through many obstacles and finally returned to this large area. As expected, there were no obstacles along the way, making all three of them heave a sigh of relief.
“Master, are you still here?”
Ye Xuan looked back and asked.
The **** cloud rolled behind him, accompanied by streaks of **** lightning.
Yang Fang's body flickered on and off for a while, then reappeared, with an eight-color vortex whirling above his head, immune to all damage.
his gaze seemed to have penetrated the space and landed far ahead.
Another old friend!
"Ye Xuan, there is someone I know ahead of you who seems to be in trouble. Go and help her and bring her into the Yanlong League. It is not convenient for me to take action."
Yang Fang opened his mouth.
"People you know?"
Ye Xuan was suspicious and nodded: "Yes, Master!"
Yang Fang flicked his fingers, and the other party's portrait had entered Ye Xuan's mind.
Then Yang Fang's body slowly blurred again and disappeared.
ˆ···
Please give me a monthly ticket!
