Chen Xiao met Xiao Tian Ce in an office at the airport.

The God of War still possessed his heroic bearing, his face, weathered by years of hardship, etched with determination.

"Sorry, Chen Xiao, there are too many people outside, and it's not convenient for me to pick you up. Don't think I'm putting on airs!"

As soon as they met, Xiao Tian Ce greeted Chen Xiao enthusiastically, his large hands gripping Chen Xiao's tightly.

As the God of War of the Northern Territory, Xiao Tian Ce was a public figure who often appeared on television, making it unsuitable for him to appear in crowded public places like airports.

"You're too kind, God of War. How could I blame you?" Chen Xiao said with a smile.

It was strange, but Chen Xiao had met countless important figures, and many were more powerful than Xiao Tian Ce.

One could even say that any random person from the ancient martial arts sects would likely be stronger than him.

Yet, none of them possessed his unique charm.

Not even Chu He, the master of the Zhushen (Godslaying) Temple!

It was an indescribable charm that inspired inexplicable trust.

"Chen Xiao, you really did something big this time without making a sound. It was so satisfying! I, Xiao Tian Ce, have never admired anyone much in my life, but I truly admire you. I'm utterly impressed!"

After they sat down, Xiao Tian Ce couldn't hide his excitement.

"God of War Xiao, I don't know what you're referring to..." Chen Xiao asked, bewildered.

"You're still playing dumb with me?" Xiao Tian Ce pointed at Chen Xiao, his face beaming, and whispered, "You've turned the entire Eastern Foreign Power world upside down. You even offed the Emperor! I must say, you've got some guts!"

"You already know about that?" Chen Xiao wasn't pretending to be confused; he just didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

"Know about it? It's no exaggeration to say that the whole world knows now." Xiao Tian Ce said seriously.

Chen Xiao thought to himself that it was true; it wasn't a small matter for him.

After all, it was the Emperor of a nation. Something so big couldn't be concealed.

The intelligence agencies of every country in the world weren't just for show.

But knowing was knowing; Chen Xiao wasn't worried about the Eastern cabinet retaliating.

After all, with Amaterasu backing him, who would dare to act rashly?

Then, Chen Xiao asked curiously, "God of War, you came to wait for me before I even got off the plane. It wasn't just for this, was it? Is there something else?"

"You can't hide anything from you!" Xiao Tian Ce laughed, then his tone changed. "Actually, there is something I wanted to ask you for help with."

"God of War, just tell me what it is. We don't need to stand on ceremony," Chen Xiao said straightforwardly.

"Alright, then I'll be direct."

"But before that, take a look at this first."

As he spoke, Xiao Tian Ce took out his phone and played a video for Chen Xiao.

The video showed a snowy landscape. In the tenth second, a wolf howled.

Then, a starving wolf suddenly ran swiftly from over a thousand meters away.

The distance of over a thousand meters was covered in less than ten seconds, and it was already close to the person filming the video.

And that wolf was clearly abnormal.

After all, a normal wolf wouldn't be over two meters tall.

The wolf in the video was at least that tall.

If it stood up, it would probably exceed four meters, almost as tall as a room.

It gave off an immense sense of pressure.

Then, a group of soldiers with guns appeared in the video.

After a barrage of gunfire, the starving wolf finally succumbed to the intense firepower and fell into a pool of blood.

The video ended, and Xiao Tian Ce asked, "Chen Xiao, do you recognize this beast?"

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a demon beast. Although it's only a low-level demon beast, it's far more lethal to ordinary people than lions or tigers. God of War, where did this video come from? Who filmed it and where?"

"It was filmed by the Tian Ce Army during a patrol deep in the Northern Territory. And there aren't just one or two of these monsters. The Tian Ce Army has already killed over a dozen of them," Xiao Tian Ce said worriedly. "These monsters are extremely powerful. Even the Tian Ce Army needs to deploy at least a platoon of soldiers and expend a large amount of firepower to eliminate them."

"Fortunately, they're all fighting individually. If they were to form packs like ordinary wolves... the consequences would be unimaginable."

The appearance of demon beasts in the Northern Territory was indeed strange.

"It's also fortunate that they're only low-level demon beasts. If they were demon beasts in the Transformation stage, I'm afraid even a regiment of soldiers would have difficulty resisting them," Chen Xiao sighed. "God of War, have the soldiers discovered any demon beasts stronger than this starving wolf?"

"Not yet, but we can't say for sure about the future. That's why... I came to ask for your help!"

"Oh? Do you want me to eliminate these demon beasts?"

Xiao Tian Ce shook his head upon hearing this. "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Chen Xiao, I've selected a group of promising young people from the Tian Ce Army. The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to guide them and train them into a group of super soldiers."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao hesitated slightly. Whether it was training martial artists or cultivators, it couldn't be done overnight.

Chen Xiao's time was tight, and he didn't want to waste his time on this.

He wanted to gather the Sacred Relics as soon as possible to increase his strength... to prevent the worst-case scenario from actually happening in reality.

"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Xiao Tian Ce asked carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Chen Xiao considered his words, but in the end, he decided to tell the truth.

"God of War, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have more important things to do. It's a matter of great importance, and I really can't spare the time. I hope you can understand."

The disappointment in Xiao Tian Ce's eyes flashed by, then he smiled heartily. "It's alright. I was just trying my luck. Since you can't spare the time, then forget it. Don't take it to heart, and don't blame yourself."

Chen Xiao felt a little guilty and said, "If you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, you can contact me at any time. I can't guarantee that I'll be there whenever you call, but I'll do my best!"

"Alright, I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Xiao Tian Ce patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder. "Don't turn off your phone when the time comes."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, took out a piece of jade marrow from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Tian Ce.

"God of War, if you can't reach me by phone, just crush this jade marrow, and I'll sense it."

Xiao Tian Ce played with the jade marrow in his hand for a moment, then carefully put it away.

"Chen Xiao, on behalf of the entire army, I thank you!"

With a snap, Xiao Tian Ce stood up and gave Chen Xiao a military salute.

Chen Xiao felt unworthy and quickly returned the salute.

"God of War, don't thank me yet. I haven't helped with anything..."

As he was speaking, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered someone.

"God of War, although I can't help you train the Tian Ce Army, there is someone who might be able to!"
