Chapter 691 A Grand Escape Under the Sunlight
Current location: Oslo.

After leaving the icy border, Jiang He and Zhuang Ya randomly appeared in the streets and alleys of Oslo. This was Roman territory, but since Ji You, a legendary peak expert, had just made his move, no legendary figures would come looking for trouble with him.

[Hint: You have obtained the Undying-level title - Slayer (Unique)]
[Hint: You have gained 33 Sin Hunter Points]
[Note: Your Sin Mark has been upgraded to LV50, granting you a 200% bonus to damage.]
[Note: Your Sin Traps has been upgraded to LV33, granting you a 132% bonus to damage.]
[Name: The Sin Slayer]
[Category: Titles]
[Quality: Undying]
[Effect: Reduces damage saving throws for the same or lower era by 10%]
[Note: A badge of honor for hunting down heinous crimes]
Jiang He examined the new title he had just received. It was the most valuable title in his current title system, and it was also the highest level. Both the Heroic state and the Legendary body had a 50% damage reduction from the era. For lower-level beings, the two were in a superimposed state. With the title of Sin Destroyer, he could at least deal damage.

"One-tenth of the damage would be enough to kill a sub-legend, which would be a bit difficult, but not impossible."

Jiang He thought to himself, now that he has the power of the Black Sun of Gluttony, he is at least invincible. Even if he faces a true legend, he can retreat calmly without any problem, after all, he still has the spatial power of the Holy Spirit level.

[Note: Your five legendary gems have been fused into a holy gem, which can replace equipment damage (0/3)]
Jiang He inlaid the gem into the Long-Hate Dragon Spear. The value of this gem was self-evident, but since he had the Time Ring, he didn't have the same urgent need as other players, which was a personal matter.

Suddenly, a message popped up in my friends list.

The message was actually sent a while ago, but due to the border situation, the information was somewhat delayed.

[Strong is my life: Brothers, are you there?]
Jiang He glanced at Chu Fuqiang's life level display. This kind of information is usually made public by members of the Order Bureau. In the past few worlds, Chu Fuqiang has become a Gold Elite and has a lot of power in the Southern Region.

[Mo Ke: It depends on your attitude towards Anping Island]
If you're not on the same side, there's no need to bother them. Unless you're on the opposite side, Jiang He isn't willing to kill someone she knows, but she doesn't hold a grudge either, just like a certain tea-haired girl.

[Strongly Determined Fate: Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, brother. There's a recently emerged disorderly organization on the South Island, located in my jurisdiction. There's currently no evidence that this organization is engaging in disorderly conduct, nor has it reached the point of wantonly harming civilians. However, the fortune teller in my team has already uncovered crucial intelligence…]
Jiang He carefully browsed the messages.

Extraordinary crimes currently exist in a gray area.

Given the variety of extraordinary abilities, securing evidence is extremely difficult, and the debate over whether extraordinary powers can be used as evidence remains unresolved.

The lack of a proper trial process and the direct conviction comes at the cost of certain powerful superhumans being able to launch a frenzied attack on their opponents within the Bureau of Order. In the mortal world, many factors also influence whether some criminals can ultimately walk out of the courtroom safely.

Chu Fuqiang's opinion leans towards "black eats black".

Turning an extremely troublesome trial into a transcendent conflict, if the non-order organizations are wiped out, the next turn will be his turn with Jiang He, where there is a lot of room for maneuver, and they can coexist peacefully.

"One Gold Peak, two Ordinary Gold."

“There are also some Silver core members and Bronze members.”

"The strength of civilian forces in the country is also growing."

[Strength is my destiny: As for the reward, given Brother Mo Ke's level, I can represent the Southern Region by providing three medium-sized crystals.]
[Mo Ke: Okay]
Jiang He did not refuse; cleaning up some gold and silver was just something he did on his way home.

[Strength is my life: I'll give you the information right now...]
……

South China Sea islands.

Separated from the tourist-filled shopping street by only a wall, the commercial center consists of four towers facing each other, surrounding the enclosed stadium in the middle.

In front of a church-style pulpit, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, looking every bit the elite, picked up the microphone.

Before him stood 72 ordinary Bronze Age players, each with a different expression: some uneasy, some excited, and some solemn. But what they had in common was that they had all recently acquired extraordinary powers.

"...Human beings are an unfinished creation, and transcendence is the ladder of evolution. Embrace transformation, break free from the shackles of the mortal body, stagnation is sin, and pity is weakness."

The man in the suit glanced at the crowd and smiled, "You are all new humans who have mastered supernatural abilities. Most of you have come here on your own initiative through websites, group chats, and other means."

“You are both foolish and blind, no different from the fat sheep who were tricked into going abroad a few years ago.”

Everyone's expression changed. In fact, some players did not come voluntarily. This Upgrade Company had been paying attention to the area around its headquarters and had captured quite a few players.

Whoohoo!
Cells descended from the ceiling.

Several players instinctively tried to dodge, but their backs were crushed by the speed-changing prison. One player even obtained a rare divine skill, which allowed him to escape ten meters in an instant at the cost of aging, only to be easily captured by a Silver-level core member.

The unusually rare deaths have terrified some players.

The man in the suit remained calm and smiled, "Every fifteen days, you will all participate in a derivative world. After the derivative world ends, I will open the cage and make you fight one-on-one until the last person survives."

"This new king of humanity will receive glory that stands shoulder to shoulder with us..."

The players listened to the man in the suit explain the rules. This was a common practice of "raising worms" (a term used to describe a situation where someone is deliberately left to cause trouble). According to him, the last person to survive would have a very high chance of being promoted to Gold rank, and would not die easily in a real-world mission.

"...During this period, you will enjoy the treatment that a new human being deserves!"

The man in the suit clapped his hands, and two Silver-ranked core members led a row of elven hybrids into the stadium. Notably, the woman at the very front was a Silver-ranked player with pure elven blood, but her eyes were lifeless and she seemed to have lost all will to live.

The man in the suit introduced, "This is Miss Grace, and her elven family. This is also another project of our company, the surrogacy program. Our chairman, Mr. Carter, has the ability to breed and grow rapidly, and you will become the ancestors of a new race."

One by one, the hybrid elves were driven into iron cages, and pink medicinal mist gushed out from the pipes. The players were transformed into wild beasts one after another, and the man in the suit watched this scene with satisfaction.

Starting with capturing and breeding the Pokémon, the population grows to hundreds, and sooner or later, a prodigy with outstanding talent will emerge. This player has a lifespan of several hundred years, giving birth once a week, making it a sustainable breeding project with a promising future.

"President, a letter from the Chairman."

A cloaked wizard covered in rotting flesh handed out a messenger bird, which then spat out a secret letter from the chairman.

The man in the suit waved his hand, and twenty-four silver and fifty-odd bronze members rushed towards the iron cage. For the "new humans" who participated in raising the Gu, the first thing to do was to desensitize themselves to matters of men and women, which could significantly improve their survival rate during the mission.

A moment later, a sketched human face appeared on the secret message and said, "You've been targeted by the Bureau of Order."

The man in the suit's eyes darkened. He said, "Chairman, the current situation does not allow a hero like you to take action. I can deal with one or two peak Gold Saints and leave safely. The prospects for the Gu breeding and surrogacy projects are very broad and are no less than those of others. Since the failure of the Longevity Project and the death of your brother, we have lost a lot of financial support. Please let me hold on a little longer."

The core of the Longevity Project is cloning technology. The Tai Sui Group, located in the eastern part of the South Island, is the business of Mr. Carter's brother, the player "Flesh Chainsaw". However, the powerful figure who wielded the power of flesh lost control, causing the Origin to issue a mission. Now, he and the group have been destroyed.

The sketched face said, "My friends mentioned that Chu Fuqiang, one of the inspectors of the South China Sea Island, has invited a big shot who is very likely one of the culprits who killed my brother. The player, Mo Ke, has already advanced to the Heroic Age."

"Heroes are not allowed to make a move!" the man in the suit exclaimed in surprise.

The sketched face said irritably, "The rules are set by the legends, but the legends will also compromise. You should leave now and stop worrying about any projects. It's not easy for me to support a Golden Peak. The Senate has decided that we are not allowed to have a direct conflict with Mo Ke!"

The man in the suit felt a chill run down his spine. The Senate was a global organization with many first-tier hero players and old-timers, occupying a significant portion of the dark side of the supernatural world. He simply couldn't imagine what kind of person Mo Ke, who had been ordered "not to engage in conflict," was.

"Chairman..."

call!
An endless shadow seemed to envelop the commercial district; this was a small-scale "dark side of the world," controlled by the Current Defense Council, but the regional Order Bureau also had the authority to mobilize it.

In the current realm of the extraordinary, whenever the "dark side" descends, it means that heroes or even legends will take action.

boom!
A huge black sun rose over the business district.

The pitch-black "sunlight" shone down.

The buildings and stadiums melted away in an instant.

The man in the suit gritted his teeth, wanting to tear the teleportation scroll away, but then he heard a chilling notification sound.

[Note: The extraordinary abilities in this area have been neutralized.]
As the pink medicinal mist dissipated, the players regained consciousness, and everyone present heard the notification sound.

"what's the situation!"

"A powerful person is coming!"

"Scatter and run!"

The man in the suit was the first to regain his senses. He couldn't even see the enemy's figure. The next moment, a gaze containing chaotic energy descended, annihilating his body and soul. One by one, the company's key personnel melted away like ice and snow.

High in the sky, Jiang He stood on the air, annihilating all living beings, including the Gu-raising players. Not far away, a legendary being accompanied him. As the rotating legendary member of the council, he was unwilling to risk being killed by Ji You by stepping forward to stop him, but he could not allow Mo Ke to cause damage outside the "dark side".

"A few ants, why should Your Excellency descend?" the legend sighed.

Amidst the countless deaths, only the elven female player wore a look of wild joy, as if she had found liberation.

"I was asked to do it, so I just did it as a favor," Jiang He said calmly. "What is the Senate anyway?"

Legend shrugged and said, "Necessary evil, at least this kind of evil has some order, just as yang inevitably produces yin, and light casts a shadow. Simply prohibiting it is ultimately impractical."

"Make a move," Jiang He suddenly said, showing more interest in legends than the Senate.

Legend narrowed his eyes. "Then I'll ask you for a move."

boom!
Above the dark sky, the clouds were frozen for miles.

The falling snowflakes were actually thousands of crystal-clear ice swords.

The ice swords combined to form a sword array, which in turn formed another sword array, layer upon layer, outlining the pattern of stars. The deep cold merged with the starlight. If there were no dark side, this sword could sink the entire South China Sea island.

"So it was Senior Si."

Jiang He lightly flicked his sword finger, activating the Black Sun's authority, and the overwhelming sword formation vanished in an instant.

The patriarch of the Si family was startled. It was not an illusion, nor was it time reversal or a direct defeat, but rather the most fundamental ineffectiveness.

"Good means."

Only close-quarters combat can injure Mo Ke.
But Mo Ke was a renowned master of marksmanship.

This person is said to possess spatial authority, so even when the enemy is reduced to primitive humans, he can still retreat calmly.

The patriarch of the Si clan quickly identified the key to this power and couldn't help but laugh, "With you by my side, we are now invincible."

Jiang He remained noncommittal. There is no invincible power in the world. Just as the Black Sun Authority is still powerless against sub-myths, even the most unsolvable power must respect the times. There is no possibility that a bronze-level being could obtain a rare-level ultimate item and kill myths at will.

On the ground, all the company's living beings perished.

As the darkness receded, the building, which should have melted away, still stood in place. Tourists on the adjacent shopping street were completely unaware; everything seemed the same as usual.

The patriarch of the Si clan watched Jiang He enter the spatial vortex and said, "I trouble you to take care of the younger generation of the clan."

Jiang He did not answer. Si Ning was already an animal companion, and there was no need for the Si family patriarch to worry about her.

[Hint: You have received a gift from Chu Fuqiang: Medium Soul Crystal *3]
[Note: Spear Master LV71→LV74 - When using spear-type weapons, deals 744% additional damage and 744% additional soul damage; 10% of total damage is converted into true damage.]
……

Anping Island.

The vast borderlands, the city of Yuwang.

When Jiang He led Zhuang Ya to Anping Island, he did not activate the barrier separating the border from the present, but instead used the teleportation of his animal companions to cross directly in.

To date, the Evil Legion has basically cleared the Dark Forest. Some golden alien species that had been entrenched in various places have been hunted down. According to Wuhe's plan, a thousand ordinary heroes, the Evil Guards, have cleared a main road in the middle of the forest. During Jiang He's absence, the Great Zhou Dynasty sent the permission to establish a vassal state.

"Why are you here?"

Inside the banquet hall of the central tower, a tall and valiant woman sat at the head of the table. Not far away, a nine-tailed white fox lay prostrate on the ground, with nine large cauldrons piled on its body, as if it had been suppressed.

Jiang He entered the central tower. Si Ning was unharmed. Ji You's appearance in Yuwang City was clearly unexpected.

"I just came to see if you have the third great sin." Ji You picked up his wine bowl and drank heartily. "Compared to the great sin, the King of the Era is a more fearsome existence. To be honest, I was quite surprised that jealousy can make a hegemon. In short, the value of the king is self-evident. Some people would rather see a mindless Origin-level rule revive than let the king continue to grow."

"Gibberish".

Jiang He pushed the cauldron aside, hugged the nine-tailed white fox in her arms, and Si Ning was sobbing softly with her head down.

"Laojiang, how could you sell yourself to this old woman for our safety? What does she know about cherishing women?"

Jiang He's face darkened. "Don't stir things up."

Ji You gave a forced smile; if this fox spirit hadn't been Bao Si's companion, she would have already killed her.

Jiang He sat down with the white fox in her arms, and Zhuang Ya thoughtfully poured her some wine. It was Sheji wine, a specialty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It wasn't of high grade, but it had a strong and mellow aroma.

Ji You said, "Do you know about the Five Realms Fusion, the new version after the Origin public beta?"

Jiang He shook his head; he didn't have deep connections with any powerful forces.

Ji You was taken aback. "Didn't I give it to you?"

"Give me what?" Jiang He frowned.

Ji You thought about it carefully, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. She searched in her storage pouch and then took out a card with the emperor's image on it.

“An organization wanted to invite you to join, and Salt-kun was in it too. He originally sent an outer member to deliver the message, but he died in the aftermath of your battle. Later, I accepted the invitation, and if nothing unexpected happens, I should have given it to you last time.”

Jiang He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you very forgetful?"

It's absurd that the legend forgot to deliver the message.

“It’s not forgetfulness, it’s lust.” Ji You said indifferently, “Last time I was with you, I was too focused and forgot about this. The great sins and powers all have some harmless little price to pay. For example, jealousy is sloth, so he should often be asleep. I am lust, and I have a strong need for you. You are probably arrogant. As for the one inside you, it is probably anger.”

Jiang He tilted his head. Lilith was indeed very angry once, to the point that the alliance almost broke apart. That was in the post-apocalyptic world, when he was very close to Shindai Mirai.

Ji You glanced at Si Ning, "Greed is jealousy."

"Awooo, I'll bite you to death." Si Ning made a face.

Jiang He examined the invitation card and asked, "What type of organization is it?"

"It is called the Forbidden Zone. Currently, there are twelve beings as official members. Only beings of the Great Power level are qualified. There is no ranking system. However, the relationship is not harmonious. They mainly exchange information. If they were to meet, a battle between the Great Powers would not be uncommon."

"No trade of goods?"

"If the goods can be delivered to you, it will expose your location. It's not difficult for someone like me, who has the authority to act directly, to do so. After all, the great powers all possess some formidable abilities. But if you insist on making a trade, you'll have to find your own way."

Jiang He felt a little regretful. He had originally planned to use his power of destiny to capture two low-level powers and raise them, but he was afraid that the high-level powers were also coveting him, the king of this era.

Ji You said casually, "Of course, I notarized the invitation card for you. It cost some of my accumulated Origin privileges, so you should compensate me for it."

Jiang He's expression changed. "Now?"

Ji You smiled and took out an iron whip, saying, "This time it's my turn to be the slave trader, otherwise it's not fair. Miss Xiaoya, please write down the score. Your hunter's performance was very tenacious."
