Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 273 Seeing the words is like seeing you

Holding this jade plaque is considered as holding special privileges of the Yingtian Division.

It allows passage within the boundaries of Chang'an Prefecture!

"So it's a high-ranking official from the Imperial Observatory."

The armed soldier carefully checked the information, confirmed that his identity was genuine, and his expression softened. "After verification, you are permitted to enter Chang'an Prefecture."

He turned around and clicked the identity device repeatedly.

After going through numerous verification procedures.

Finally, he stepped aside to make way for Jiang Jian.

"Thank you."

Jiang thanked them and successfully entered Chang'an Prefecture.

Upon entering.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became abundant.

Chang'an Prefecture remained as prosperous and bustling as before, with its scenery flourishing.

At first glance, it seems that nothing has changed.

"Ride-hailing service activated, estimated arrival in 1 minute!"

A cold mechanical sound was heard.

Not long after.

A brand-new hovercar landed in front of Jiang Jian, and the hatch opened with a bang.

Jiang Jian walked up the gangway and boarded the hovercar.

The cabin lights flashed, followed by a warning sound.

Destination: Yingtian Division.

Estimated arrival time: 2 hour and 40 minutes.

The hatch is closed.

The hovercar emitted a buzzing sound.

With a slight tremor, it rapidly ascended into the air!
Jiang Jian sat by the window, looking out at the sky behind him through the porthole.

Outside Chang'an Prefecture.

Below the sky.

The enormous Mercury warship had already sailed into the rift in the sky and departed safely.

Of the tens of thousands of squads that came with them, only a few dozen airships were used to complete their mission and return to the warship, barely managing to save their lives.

Tens of thousands of Mercury's creatures.

The vast majority of them died here!
at the same time.

The identification device flashed rapidly, and regional communications came in one after another.

The casualty figures for this rift in the sky have already emerged.

"The number of deaths caused by the rift in Baiye Prefecture is as follows."

"Citizens of Earth."

"Divinely Gifted Realm: 3210 people".

“Yongquan Realm: 42 people”

"Informal citizens: estimated at around 1."

The message is very brief.

It can be done in a short period of time.

These casualty figures caused a huge uproar on the forum!

Countless citizens of the Earth were filled with rage and indignation.

The number of related discussion posts has exceeded 100 million!

The creatures of Mercury formed small teams and, instead of attacking the center of the prefecture, scattered to the surrounding cities, counties, towns, and villages, launching a frenzied attack.

Their main targets are almost all ordinary people!

In these places, spring-like springs are already rare.

Most of the common people were at the God-given realm, but they neglected their cultivation and had almost no resistance!
just.

These prefectures seem to have been prepared for this long time.

Both the subordinate pavilions of the Imperial Star Palace and the guard fleet of the government office were dispatched early on and ambushed in the cities and counties of the continent.

Once the Mercury Squad lands, they will be annihilated with lightning speed.

The number of civilian casualties was reduced to a minimum!
despite this.

Even in the remote mountains and wilderness, many civilians were still brutally slaughtered.

Outside the ambush zone, or in remote areas where rescue was impossible, thousands of ordinary people were easily slaughtered.

"It turns out that the surface world already knew about Baxia Demon Lord's intentions and made many preparations in advance."

Jiang Jian withdrew his gaze.

There are seven cracks on the Earth's surface.

At each crack, tens of thousands of Mercurian beings scattered and fell!
These Mercury creatures are all at the Spring of Life Realm!

If the Earth's surface is truly undefended.

Then.

The death toll from this attack will surely rise to an unbelievable level!
Jiang Jian thought of it.

Guangling City, where I live.

The population is as many as three million.

The Yongquan Realm, however, has no more than a hundred people.

These people are pampered and have mediocre talents.

If a battle were to break out, being able to withstand even a single attack from a Mercurian being would be a tremendous surprise.

If even a few Mercury squads were to fall behind, and without any preparation, the tragic fate of this city would be unimaginable.

Jiang Jian examined the identity device and recalled the regional communication from not long ago, and understood.

In the Ninefold Realm of Chang'an, the world's gateway was sealed.

The fact that the surface forces were able to organize such a large-scale ambush in a short period of time, even infiltrating every city and county, greatly reduced civilian casualties.

The Imperial Star Palace played a crucial role in overall coordination and deserves immense credit.

soon.

The identification device flashed and continuously issued prompts.

The Earth planetary barrier has completed its self-repair.

All seven cracks in the sky have been completely restored!

The total number of deaths among Earth's citizens has been tallied.

The number of dead and injured among citizens of both borders is less than 3.

These people were mostly ordinary civilians from the remote mountains and wilderness outside the ambush zone.

At the city, county, and township levels, the area was the most attacked, yet suffered almost no casualties!
This is because.

Inside the ambush zone.

Not only the pavilions under the Imperial Star Palace, but also the "cultivators" and "elders" they sent out.

Furthermore, beings from the Divine Palace Realm were stationed there, rushing to provide rescue.

opposite of this.

Near the seven cracks.

Unofficial citizens suffered the most casualties.

According to preliminary statistics.

The number of casualties has exceeded 10.

Although the surface world responded flawlessly, almost perfectly repelling the offensive.

But everyone knows it.

This is merely Mercury's test.

The creatures of Mercury were almost entirely reduced to cannon fodder, used to deplete Earth in the early stages.

What's even more alarming is...

On Mercury's side, a single vanguard offensive can unleash 100,000 Spring Spring Realm cultivators without batting an eye.

Place it on Earth.

This is simply unimaginable!
Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian sat inside the hovercar.

Deep in my mind, I vaguely sensed it.

The tasks I took on have become somewhat burdensome, I don't know when.

Tianjing, located in the ninth realm, is the highest government office on Earth.

It was also the true central location of Chang'an Prefecture.

The entire Ninth Realm belongs to Tianjing.

All important government orders and affairs, large and small, concerning the seventy prefectures on Earth were issued from Tianjing.

But at this moment.

Most of the high-ranking officials in the central government of Tianjing were trapped in the ninth realm. This defensive ambush was almost entirely led by the Imperial Star Palace, with Tianjing playing only a supporting role.

The officials serving in the Imperial Star Palace and the Heavenly Capital have a very high degree of overlap in the terrestrial realm.

That's why things can go smoothly and without any obstacles.

"Yingtian Division, Deputy Chief Zhang Baimu."

Jiang Jian lowered his gaze, looking at the wooden box in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he still didn't put it into his storage space.

This wooden box was specially made by Shen Xi to hold the fragments of the world's origin.

There are many formations among them, but their functions are not very clear.

Jiang Jian wasn't sure if putting it in would reveal the storage space.

In this situation, there is absolutely no need for me to take any risks.

Suddenly.

Deep in the soul.

The suspended Ksitigarbha staff trembled slightly.

Jiang Jian carefully put away the wooden box, his mind slightly focused.

This is a guide, a hint to oneself.

The one favored by the Seventh Hall is very likely to ascend to the position of Hall Master.

This means.

The battle for the Yinshan Wonderland is about to officially begin!
Once the position of Ksitigarbha is truly opened, no one who has shown favor to him may withdraw without permission.

Even if you are defeated and die, you cannot escape it.

Time passed quickly.

Unknowingly.

The hovercar slowed down.

It lands atop a massive steel building, at an expensive, fee-based shipping yard.

There aren't many ships coming and going here, so it's very quiet.

Jiang Jian did not get off the car, but sat in the cabin, opened the identity device, and entered a string of citizen numbers.

There were too many people and too many eyes in Yingtian Division, so he didn't plan to go there directly.

Instead, based on the serial number of the identity device provided by Shen Xi, it directly connects to Vice Commander Zhang Baimu.

The friend request was sent, but no response has been received yet.

Jiang Jian leaned back in his seat, not impatient at all. Instead, he gently closed his eyes and began to cultivate quietly.

After 3 hours.

The watch finally started flashing, and a mechanical beep sounded.

"Friend request accepted."

at the same time.

A voice message came from the other end of the communication channel.

"I'm sorry, the official positions in the Imperial Star Palace are already full."

A deep, resonant male voice came through, “No matter which organization recommended you, there’s nothing I can do.”

Hearing the voice, Jiang Jian looked strange.

This voice message was actually sent to a group.

In other words.

In the past two days, many people have likely added Zhang Baimu on their contacts.

As the deputy director of Yingtian Division, he held a high position and wielded great power.

Only powerful and influential families with deep-rooted backgrounds can obtain his identity device serial number and add it to their devices.

Zhang Baimu, being in a high position, naturally did not want to offend others.

Anyone who wants to add us is welcome.

Previously.

He scanned Jiang Jian's communication information.

He was not yet twenty years old, but he already possessed the cultivation level of the Yongquan Realm.

He immediately concluded that the person must be someone with connections, trying to enter the Imperial Star Palace and obtain an official position through an introduction from someone else.

Without hesitation, he copied the voice message and sent it to the other newly added people.

"This Deputy Chief Zhang looks like he's in a real mess."

Jiang Jian snapped out of her daze and smiled.

With a swipe of his finger, he typed out a text message on the holographic screen.

"The Second Realm, the Master of Guanxi Pavilion."

The message was sent in less than ten seconds.

On Zhang Baimu's end, the message box was flashing rapidly, and a live chat call had been made!

next second.

Communication is connected.

"Old Shen's idea really worked! You actually made it out!"

Zhang Baimu tried his best to remain calm, his voice deep and resonant, but his tone was anything but excited.

Obviously.

Although Shen Xi was in the world of academia.

But he had already secretly communicated with him using his identity device.

not to mention.

This idea was proposed by Shen Xi in a flash of inspiration.

This plan had already been formally reported and, after being approved by a True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm, became a genuine official mission!

"Hello, Deputy Commander Zhang Baimu."

Jiang Jian raised his wrist and politely said, "I'm currently located in the east of Chang'an Prefecture. Would it be convenient for you to come over?"

Zhang Baimu calmed himself and said solemnly, "Jiang Jian, please send me your encrypted location's coordinates. I will report the mission progress immediately and set off right away!"

Communication hang up.

Jiang Jian lowered his gaze, staring at Zhang Baimu's message box, and fell silent.

Now that this mission has been officially recognized.

It has even become one of the many methods that the surface world has tried to use in order to break through the world's gateway ahead of time.

However, one's own coordinates still need to be sent in an "encrypted" manner.

This matter is quite intriguing.

Since the Nine Realms were compressed by space and completely sealed off.

Everyone was at a loss.

Only one True Lord in the Moon Realm possesses a secret treasure whose unique properties allow him to forcibly shatter the boundary gates.

However, this treasure has remained unactivated for a long time.

It requires a huge amount of resources.

And it needs to be nurtured for at least a year before it can be used with difficulty.

This is the official approach that the four realms of Earth, Moon, and Man have been waiting for.

A year is not a long time.

But if we consider the current, rapidly changing wartime situation, then...

Time is precious; every second counts!
It is for this reason.

Countless beings from Earth and the Moon have tried every possible method to open the world portal ahead of schedule.

But without exception, all of these methods failed!
This has led to the fact that the so-called "opening the door in advance" has gradually become a pipe dream.

No matter how many methods or approaches are used, the boundary barrier cannot be shaken.

Over time.

Even if new methods emerge.

Most officials, too, remained hesitant and simply couldn't believe it.

Shen Xi inadvertently realized that Jiang Jian was favored by the Yinshan Wonderland. In a flash of inspiration, she came up with a way to transport the world's origin and locate the boundary coordinates.

Although I thought of a method.

But since there's no practical experience, no one can be sure if it's feasible.

therefore.

Shen Xi did not tell too many people about this plan.

But in this world, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

Not long ago.

The True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm affirmed the method and instructed Shen Xi to try it out.

In Chang'an Prefecture on the surface of the world, and even in the Nine Realms, many beings began to pay silent attention to this.
