Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1576 This Gift from Heaven Should Be Taken

Chen Chuan put down his comic book, smiled, and said, "Cousin, I haven't changed so much that you wouldn't recognize me, have I?"

“That’s not necessarily true.” Nian Qian said seriously, “The regulations say that some mutated creatures can create hallucinations or impersonate familiar people to gain their trust.”

He spoke as if it were a joke, but he remained rooted to the spot, clearly not letting his guard down.

Chen Chuan said: "I remember in your first year of middle school, you secretly brought home a comic book once. Well, the cover wasn't very attractive. Later, your aunt found it while cleaning..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anymore."

Nian Qian quickly stopped him from continuing, knowing that it was his cousin who knew about this.

Chen Chuan said: "Actually, this method of verification is not very good. Some things can be seen in your psychological activities."

Nian Qian was quite nonchalant about it: "If that's really the case, I'll accept it. I can't deal with things that are beyond my capabilities, can I?"

Chen Chuan asked, "Do you still have the things I prepared for you?"

"I brought it with me."

Nian Qian patted the pocket on his chest, "I won't forget the life-saving items the fighter gave me."

"You really have to say..."

He walked over, picked up the kettle and cup, and poured Chen Chuan a glass of water.

"You really gave me a fright when you came down from the airship yesterday, cousin. Which department have you been promoted to this time? Defense Headquarters? State Council?"

He added, "Hey, this is the military base, we don't have your favorite soda here, don't complain."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Cousin, you know I've rarely drunk this kind of soda since I was ten years old."

Nian Qian finally felt completely relieved and sat down in the chair opposite him.

At this point, Chen Chuan said, "I'm now on the advisory group."

“The advisory group…” Nian Qian repeated, then suddenly looked up, “The advisory group?! The supreme advisory group?!”

He stared wide-eyed at Chen Chuan in disbelief.

As a mid-level commander in the military, he knew all too well what the Supreme Advisory Council represented: the nation's highest military authority.

Each of the advisors there possesses strategic-level power to destroy a regional country.

His cousin was also a member of the advisory group?
Doesn't that mean...

He sized up Chen Chuan, then desperately tried to recall his past impressions of his cousin, comparing the two images to see if they were the same or different.

After a while, he sighed. No matter what, he was still his cousin, wasn't he? Thinking this, he felt a surge of excitement and agitation.

"Wow, this feels like a dream. Cousin, you actually made it into the advisory group? Really... never mind, I don't understand you fighters anyway."

Chen Chuan said: "Fighters are also human beings. Even if they join the advisory group, their identity will not change, and they will not abandon their past."

He put down the comic book in his hand, "Just like you, cousin, never gave up your hobbies, so do I."

Nian Qian suddenly felt more at ease; his cousin hadn't become a complete stranger.

He thought for a moment, "Cousin, you came here this time to resolve this matter, right?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's right. There will be more and more of these kinds of things in the future, and it will be unavoidable."

Nian Qian remained silent for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Chen Chuan said, "Cousin, are you asking if the current situation is related to the Great Crash?"

Nian Qian readily admitted, "Yes, there are rules in the military that prevent us from asking around. As the regimental commander, I know a little, but not much. My cousin is an advisor, so he should know quite a bit, right?"

Chen Chuan said, "The reason for not announcing it to the outside world is to avoid causing panic. Even if I don't say anything, the middle-level officers in the military will gradually find out about it. Yes, this matter is related to the Great Bombardment, and according to my observation, the Great Bombardment will most likely occur at the end of this month or next month."

Upon hearing this, Nian Qian looked shocked. He took a breath and asked, "Will it not only our Great Shun, but the entire world be affected?"

Chen Chuan said, "That's right. I can't say for sure what might happen, but you can rest assured, cousin. With me here, you don't need to worry about the safety of your family."

Nian Qian said solemnly, "Cousin, I believe you." Chen Chuan said, "Cousin, I saw your battle just now. You brought quite a few combat creatures, why didn't you use them?"

Nian Qian said, "Combat creatures are usually stronger than second-limit fighters, so they are considered reserves. Moreover, in such a high-intensity battlefield, they can probably only last for ten minutes or so. Besides, they need high-energy nutrients as a driving force, and the reserves we brought cannot be squandered."

He then jokingly said, "You're a consultant, can you help us solve some of our problems?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "A very reasonable request." He pointed to the boundary marker and said, "Get me in touch with Commander Reeves."

Kong Zhian had one clone left behind, so he made contact immediately. He then made his request: since the supply of high-energy nutrients to the front lines was insufficient, and since they were helping the Great Wetia Alliance in its fight, the Alliance should be responsible for everything.

The high-energy nutrients used by the Da Shun army are not universally available, which means that Daweitia needs to purchase them first and then supply them to the Da Shun army. However, Kong Zhian agreed without hesitation and promised to do everything possible to meet Da Shun's logistical needs.

After Chen Chuan finished speaking, he said to Nian Qian, "It's resolved. In the next battle, don't worry about using combat creatures. If you don't have enough, you can send a report to the domestic authorities, and the Great Vedia Alliance will take care of the procurement."

"No, cousin, is this enough?"

Nian Qian looked at Chen Chuan incredulously. Even their troops were very cautious in their use of combat creatures.

The above-mentioned regulations state that in non-urban security warfare situations, combat creatures often become expendable resources for soldiers to evade responsibility, and due to the difficulty of replenishment under objective conditions, the regulations stipulate that in non-emergency situations, an application and report must be submitted before deploying a large number of combat creatures, and sufficient reasons must be provided. If this is violated, the commander will be held accountable.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chuan resolved such strict regulations with just a few instructions, and he now has a better understanding of the power of an advisor.

But no matter what, this is a good thing?
Chen Chuan then looked outside as if he had noticed something.

Nian Qian asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Chuan said, "It's nothing, it's just that some things might have come earlier than I expected."

At this very moment, in the opposite world, Chen Chuanzheng's body once again merged with his own, sensing the information from above.

This time, he paid particular attention to the situation of the things that were formed when the two realms intersected, and through further observation, he gained a deeper understanding.

He judged that this thing would only be fully mature when the two worlds officially collided. However, before that, since the two worlds were already gradually coming into contact and merging with each other, some incomplete parts would first appear on their own.

The higher-ups didn't seem very interested in this part, but based on his perception, this thing should be of great use to individuals below their level.

Some demon groups may also be aware of the value of these things, just like this current invasion, which is extremely close to the location he determined, and this is by no means a coincidence.

Once fully mature, this thing clearly has even greater value; otherwise, it would never have attracted so much attention from the upper echelons. Therefore, if I were to break through to the upper echelons, I would also have to find a way to acquire it.

Obtaining these things from numerous demons, including those of higher levels, was no easy task, but he was not afraid of it; on the contrary, he possessed an ambition to go against the tide.

The arrival of the Great Collision is both a calamity and an opportunity. Since some opportunities have appeared before him, he must seize them no matter what.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that two of the several clones he had placed outside had already arrived at their designated locations, and he had also received Grezim's letter today, with another clone heading towards Acharaka.

However, he was now more concerned about the Great Wetia Alliance, as he could keep track of their situation through mental communication. He had now blocked the rift with his clone, but this hadn't deterred the demons; instead, they had intensified their attack.

The remaining four central cities of the Great Vedia Alliance all suffered varying degrees of impact.

This time, thanks to the deployment of Da Shun's military defense forces, many targeted suggestions were put forward, and defenses were strengthened in a timely manner, supplementing the missing military forces.

It was thanks to these factors, coupled with the large-scale extermination of Old Christians, that the rift was prevented from widening, and thus the defense was successfully maintained.

However, upon deeper spiritual perception, he discovered that even though such an attack did not result in a breakthrough, it had catalyzed the fusion of the two worlds, because a tiny breach had already appeared on the protective barrier of the world ring due to the previous successful surprise attack.

In his spiritual perception, it was like a spot on a beautiful jade. At the edge of the crack, wispy mist was emanating outwards. It was captured by the extended tentacles of the spiritual world and eventually connected with each other. Then, the power of the spiritual world continuously rushed into the material world from there.

This was exactly the same scene he had seen last time.

Therefore, even if they successfully repel the demons' attack, as long as the connection is not severed, the trend of mutual integration will be unstoppable.

He soon saw that as the wisp of mist-like tentacles gradually thickened, the collision of the forces of the two worlds caused the thing being nurtured to emit a faint glow, as if a part of it was showing signs of premature maturation.

Inside the military fortress, Chen Chuan picked up his water glass, took a sip, stood up from the sofa, and said, "Cousin, I have something to take care of first." After saying that, he walked out.

Nian Qian followed them out, when suddenly a strong wind blew in their face, almost blinding them. Dark clouds loomed overhead, as if a storm was approaching, and a streak of light was flying towards Mount Tandrilo.
