Chapter 1 “Your Majesty, a large amount of orderly source matter has appeared outside the Chan Yi City fortress.”

Second floor of the閣樓.

Zi Yu pushed open the door of the secret room and entered the Furnace Divine Realm. The Empress was flipping through ancient books on the bookshelf.

“Hmm.”

Lin Li lightly hummed.

As the actual ruler of North Continent, although she did not leave the閣樓, news from all directions would flow into her ears.

Not only because of the existence of [Deep Sea].

But also because the largest intelligence agency in the five continents, the Investigation Corps, was in her palm.

North Continent had established an intelligence network independent of [Deep Sea]. This intelligence network existed separately in a closed spiritual sea, unaffected by the [Deep Sea] main system... Truly important and hidden information would be transmitted through this private network, and the core of this vast network was the “Furnace.”

Her Majesty the Empress had separated a portion of her Tinder Divine Power to ensure the spiritual stability of this closed network.

A Liuer was her apostle.

Every extraordinary person who used this Furnace network was, in fact, her apostle.

She granted these people a certain “divine right”...

In terms of loyalty, no one could compare to these warriors in the North Continent Corps.

Zi Yu continued, “Silver Fox, with Gu Shen and Bai Xiu, has taken a source energy艇 north to investigate.”

Seeing that the Empress still had no reaction.

Zi Yu said seriously, “I know you already know this news... The 'orderly source matter' in Chan Yi City likely signifies an invasion of extraordinary lifeforms. This matter is no small matter. Bai Xi Rustbone has already set off to provide support.”

“Yes, it is a big matter.”

The Empress was still flipping through the book. She said softly, “Those source matter mean... the Traveler race is about to find the Five Continents.”

Zi Yu’s pupils constricted slightly.

“You... don't seem to care at all?”

When she first received the news, she immediately became nervous.

Whether it was Silver Fox, or Gu Shen and Bai Xiu, they were all extremely important figures.

Such top-tier combat power must not be lost.

“The Traveler race is not scary.”

The Empress said calmly, “A race without even a God Seat... Even if they find the Five Continents, so what? Can they tear apart the Umbrella Defense Line? Can they crash into the Great Wall?”

This question left the Corps Commander speechless.

“Even if there is such a day, what awaits them is the wrath of the Seven Gods.”

The Empress said casually, “Before the crushing of absolute power, it doesn't matter how many extraordinary lifeforms this race has... The current Great Wall fears no challenge from any extraordinary lifeform. Even if the Travelers from back then were still alive, even if they were given another God Seat, they still couldn't break into the North Continent inland.”

“Yes.”

The Corps Commander certainly believed that Her Majesty had this strength.

But she was still uneasy, “I don't know why, my state of mind is very uneasy. I always feel like something big... is about to happen.”

“... Aunt Wen, relax.”

The Empress finally stopped flipping through the book. She looked at the Corps Commander who had grown up with her and comforted her softly.

“If there is, then let it happen.”

……

……

The news of orderly source matter appearing in Chan Yi City had already spread throughout the Five Continents.

Due to the extreme importance of this matter.

So all the major fortresses in North Continent had entered a state of combat readiness, especially those fortress cities under the command of the Second Corps on the northwest border, which were preparing to mobilize troops for support...

At the same time.

The Five Continents Council convened the highest-level meeting.

Each continent decided to dispatch extraordinary teams to Chan Yi City.

Gu Shen, Bai Xiu, and Silver Fox had gone north to explore. Changye naturally could not sit idly by. Upon hearing the news, Gu Nanfeng led the Night Watchers north...

Also acting together was Meng Xizhou of Guang Ming City.

The turmoil in the Temple had just subsided. Meng Xizhou originally intended to recuperate and dispatch a newly promoted Temple elder north. After all, having just experienced the painful blow of the [Ice Sea Relics], the wounds of the cloud ship fleet had not yet healed. The Guang Ming Temple could not help much with this scale of northern support.

But a decree from the God Seat came from the end of Red Lake.

Perhaps because Gu Nanfeng had already set off, the Guang Ming God Seat personally ordered Meng Xizhou to lead the team north... To her, this was not bad news.

Judging solely from the starting point of this decree.

The Guang Ming God Seat clearly hoped that the situation in the Five Continents would return to peace, so she dispatched herself north, which would give her the opportunity to meet Gu Nanfeng again.

Only Meng Xizhou could repair the relationship between West Continent and East Continent.

Other Temple elders leading the team north would definitely not have such a good effect.

Just as the entire Chan Yi City was on high alert, and Wei Cheng was counting the number of source energy艇s, preparing to cross north to support General Silver Fox, two figures arrived at this throat city on the northwest border at the same time.

Two miniature艇s shot in like streamers, rushing into the sky above Chan Yi City without any obstruction...

The military airspace system on the northwest border did not sound any alarm at all.

Because the authority of the owners of these two source energy艇s was second only to the North Continent Empress.

“Boom! Boom!”

Two crashing sounds, one extremely heavy and one extremely light, occurred simultaneously after the source energy艇s hovered.

Rustbone, with an extremely burly figure, stepped out a snow pit on the thick snow on the ground of Chan Yi City.

The tall and thin man in a white robe who landed lightly on the other side was the supreme leader of the Third Corps, Bai Xi.

“What a coincidence.”

Rustbone slowly straightened his spine. He propped himself up with an iron sword. Due to his extremely burly stature, the chain mail on his body was about to be torn apart. The scales bulged outwards, as if they had life, breathing along with Rustbone.

“…Indeed, a coincidence.”

Bai Xi calmly looked at his old rival.

Years ago, the three major corps fought against the “First Corps” of the golden ape in the Red Emperor War... After a long war, they finally won, and the three of them helped the Empress to the top, becoming the highest-ranking military officials in North Continent.

Since then.

The three major corps were stationed in the northwest, north, and northeast, respectively.

The Empress deliberately separated these three “near-gods” because the relationship between the supreme leaders of the three major corps was not as “intimate” as the world imagined.

To be able to reach the top.

They were all extremely stunning, extremely powerful combat geniuses.

Bathing in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they died and were reborn, and received the coronation of the highest praise from the God Seat.

They were both comrades and rivals.

Usually, once they met, the three would definitely spar with all their strength, but unfortunately, because they all mastered the power of the origin... The strength of the three generals could be said to be indistinguishable.

If they really fought to the death, it would probably take three days and three nights to shatter an entire large fortress, and the result would not be clear.

“Two adults.”

Upon hearing the news, Wei Cheng hurried over. From the moment he saw Rustbone and Bai Xi, he felt the pressure from his mind lake.

“Currently, the intelligence of Chan Yi City has been shared with the Five Continents free of charge.”

Wei Cheng's attitude was humble. He introduced slowly, “The Gu family of Changye moved the fastest. After one day, Gu Nanfeng will lead the Night Watchers to arrive at Chan Yi City...”

“Nanfeng has always been like this... He is an impatient person.”

Hearing the name of his most proud disciple, a faint smile appeared on Rustbone’s face.

“Tell him, there is no need to rush. We are here waiting for him.”

The strength of the three generals, although indistinguishable.

But there were always other things that could be distinguished... For example, the strength of the corps they led, and the strength of their most proud disciples.

Now that North Continent was at peace, the three major corps did not interfere with each other, and it was impossible to determine their specific strengths.

But the strength of the disciples.

Rustbone was obviously stronger than the other two, because he had cultivated Gu Nanfeng. The speed at which Gu Nanfeng achieved the title was still an unbroken record in the three major corps!

Others did not understand Rustbone's smile.

But Bai Xi understood.

Bai Xi shook his head and said, “One day is too long. I can’t wait.”

As soon as this was said, Rustbone frowned slightly.

He asked with a smile, “What, are you worried about Silver Fox?”

“Silver Fox's source power is related to 'space'. His movement speed in the [Old World] is extremely fast.”

Bai Xi said, “If it is really as the intelligence of Chan Yi City says, the appearance point of orderly source matter is sixty miles outside the Umbrella Defense Line, the mission would have already been completed... A mere sixty miles, even if Silver Fox crossed it with his physical body, he should have returned to the fortress with Gu Shen and Bai Xiu.”

“You mean, Lord Silver Fox encountered an accident?”

Wei Cheng heard the words and immediately became nervous.

It had been almost a whole day since Silver Fox drove the source energy艇 away from the fortress Great Wall.

At the beginning, the guards in Chan Yi City Fortress, as well as the high-level officials inside the Second Corps, did not take this mission seriously...

General Silver Fox was a forbidden powerhouse who had come into contact with the origin.

Gu Shen and Bai Xiu were both top-tier existences among the titled ones.

With these three performing the mission together, could there still be an accident?

But after half a day passed, everyone began to worry... No one knew what happened sixty miles away.

“Encountering an accident is not necessarily bad news.”

Rustbone said indifferently, “Bai Xi is right, Silver Fox and the others must have encountered unexpected trouble.”

Wei Cheng's heart thumped.

The meaning of the [Deep Sea] intelligence was too obvious. There may be extraordinary lifeforms outside Chan Yi City!

If the general encountered unexpected trouble, then he must have come into contact with extraordinary lifeforms!

“Now [Deep Sea] has spread the intelligence, and the results of the world conference negotiations have been decided. Rescuers will continue to arrive at Chan Yi City from within the Five Continents...”

Rustbone looked at Wei Cheng and said, “Little Wei, Silver Fox handed over the temporary guarding authority of Chan Yi City to you, which shows that he trusts you the most. You don't need me to say more about what to do, right?”

“Of course…”

Wei Cheng took a deep breath and said nervously, “The Second Corps has already begun to assemble elite troops, and heavy firepower source energy weapons have also been loaded, and they can set off at any time.”

“Very good.”

Rustbone nodded and said with a gratified smile, “Wait until the first batch of support from within the Five Continents arrives, and then the Second Corps will consider exploring outside the fortress. As for now... I suggest you stay in place and wait a moment.”

He paused and looked at Bai Xi.

“The intelligence of the [Old World] has not yet been transmitted back. Bai Xi and I will take a step first.”

“You, wait for our news.”
