During this period,
The great Beast Emperors continuously breached human forces one by one, plundering vast resources.
Meanwhile, Hua Country was not idle either, making all preparations for war, determined to defend humanity's last sanctuary!
Even Chen Shu's system had not stopped, continuously configuring various magical potions and distributing them to the various Beast Tamers.
Resurrection Calendar Year 988, February 1st,
"Finally back…"
A giant yellow sphere, a thousand meters in diameter, approached Hua Country's eastern sea.
Ahead, a golden barrier had been erected, like a colossal eggshell, covering the entire continent.
This was the technological shield deployed by the authorities, utilizing the most advanced materials. Its energy supply was powered by a Golden-tier Monarch's True Pearl, sufficient to withstand the attacks of King-tier creatures.
And this was merely the normal defensive state. Once a situation became critical, the shield's energy intensity would surge severalfold. Currently, only Hua Country could deploy such a defense.
Once the great war erupted, fierce beasts were bound to attack from public waters.
Of course, the shield's primary purpose was to prevent battlefield repercussions from spreading to land and affecting ordinary citizens.
To resist the invasion of fierce beasts, reliance had to be placed solely on the various Beast Tamers.
"Everything is already so well prepared…"
Chen Shu gazed at the defense line before him, a hint of shock in his eyes.
He had taken on missions from three national forces in one go, resulting in him not returning home for over ten days. He hadn't expected such a drastic change.
"Is no one coming to pick me up?"
Chen Shu slowly approached the land, arriving at the front of the shield.
At that very moment, his Dragon Tamer Guard armband on his right hand emitted a 'ding dong' sound, and the shield before him automatically opened, creating an exit.
"Brother Han Fei, you're back?"
At this point, a Zhen Ling Army squad approached, instantly recognizing the distinguished figure before them.
"Yes, brought the people back."
Chen Shu nodded, pointing to the over a thousand people on Xiao Huang's back.
The journey had been long, and they had even encountered an ambush by a Beast Emperor. Fortunately, with spatial divine skills and teleportation potions, Chen Shu had safely returned with his companions.
Chen Shu asked, "How is the situation now?"
"We don't know about that, but there's no immediate danger for now."
The leading Zhen Ling Army squad leader shook his head, indicating he didn't have much information.
"Alright, I'll take them back to Nanjang City first."
Chen Shu looked at everyone and headed straight for his hometown.
This mission not only brought vast resources to Hua Country, but Chen Shu also gained immensely.
Without any prompting, various human forces had voluntarily gifted him resources of immense value, hoping he would offer some protection to their compatriots.
"Just one trip brought in trillions in resources. This business is truly good…"
Chen Shu shook his head, not expecting resource acquisition to be so easy now.
However, the most crucial factor was his immense reputation; in the eyes of others, he was worth that price!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Shu, riding his contracted spirit, arrived above Nanjang City.
It seemed that the entire Hua Country had entered a state of war readiness. The sky was filled with the official contracted spirits of various organizations, primarily transporting strategic materials.
An atmosphere of impending storms permeated the entire Hua Country!
The citizens were initially apprehensive, but remembering the presence of the Old Master, a sense of reassurance returned to their hearts.
"Alright, you can all stay in Nanjang City for now."
Chen Shu brought everyone to a residential area and said, "Don't cause any trouble, or the consequences will be severe!"
A gentle smile played on his lips, yet it sent a chill down people's spines.
Instantly, everyone expressed their absolute commitment to behaving themselves, almost to the point of taking an oath on the spot…
Chen Shu continued, "Very good. Additionally, there are King-tier Beast Tamers inside who will conduct checks on you. You must cooperate honestly!"
This was also Hua Country's concern, fearing that there might be people from the Savior Cult or the Holy Beast Association who could cause sabotage from within.
"I need to go home for a bit. You guys go inside."
With that, Chen Shu vanished from his spot with a blink.
"Mom, Dad."
As soon as he returned home, he saw his parents engrossed in watching the news in the living room.
"Son, you're back?!"
His mother stood up immediately, her eyes filled with worry.
The current situation on Blue Star was too chaotic, especially abroad. The thought of Chen Shu being alone overseas had kept his parents on edge.
"Yes, Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry."
Chen Shu offered a smile and said, "Right now, only the Old Master poses any threat to me; other fierce beasts are insignificant."
"Stop joking!"
His mother chided him with a smile, "Don't go abroad casually in the future. It's all fierce beast territory now."
Despite knowing Chen Shu's extraordinary abilities, his parents would instinctively worry.
"Mom will cook something delicious for you. You rest first."
"Okay, Mom, I haven't eaten anyway."
Chen Shu nodded and then sat on the sofa.
"Son, is there going to be a war?"
His father looked at Chen Shu and asked, "I see the situation in the country is quite tense."
"Dad, there's always been war."
Chen Shu smiled and said, "It's just that this crisis is a little bigger…"
In the past, Hua Country only had to deal with the spatial rifts within its borders, but now it was different; it was fierce beasts from all over the world!
"But don't worry."
Chen Shu wasn't too tense, saying, "With me and the Old Master here, nothing will go wrong."
"…"
His father, Chen Ping, shook his head but did not refute Chen Shu's words.
Chen Shu had now fully grown, and his comprehensive strength could be considered that of a top-tier powerhouse, an undeniable force.
"I never expected that a small decision made eight years ago would lead to such a significant change in you."
Father Chen Ping's eyes were filled with emotion and pride.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and instantly understood that his father was referring to his decision to switch from the regular class to the Beast Taming class.
"It's all thanks to Dad's full support."
"Actually, Dad was just trying anything to see if it would work, given your academic performance was actually…"
"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Really, Dad, you're quite blunt…
"Dad, I actually came back this time to tell you something."
Chen Shu rubbed his chin and said, "The current situation is a bit unusual. I want you and Mom to go somewhere safe for a while."
The war hadn't started yet, so he definitely couldn't run away, or the Old Master would definitely come chasing with a sword…
However, his parents were ordinary people and wouldn't be of any help in battle. It would be better for them to hide away, which would also put Chen Shu's mind at ease.
"Hide away? Running away before the fighting even begins is a bit much."
Father Chen Ping's gaze was firm, saying,
"You better not forget, your dad is also a Beast Tamer!"
"Dad, don't mess around…"
Chen Shu glanced at the small fish in the fish tank on the balcony and said strangely,
"If it comes to the point where you need to step in, it would mean that humanity is truly finished…"
