Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 714 Returning to the Lord of the Rings World, Breaking the Conventional Way of Ending the War
The Lord of the Rings, the world of Arda.

Middle-earth.

"Zheng Zha!!"

Gandalf hugged Zheng Zha with great joy: "To see you again before I close my eyes!"

"This is such a happy thing!"

"Fifty years!!"

Zheng Zha laughed heartily and patted Gandalf on the shoulder as well: "Gandalf!!"

"how are things?"

The two are old comrades-in-arms. Zheng Zha has been saving Gandalf from danger since the Lonely Mountain Expedition Team. Their friendship has transcended the world.

“Not bad,” Gandalf said with a smile.

"Those minions of Chaos haven't bothered you, have they?" Zhuang Boshi asked.

When the word "chaos" was mentioned, a hint of sadness flashed across Gandalf's face.

Clearly, the war and destruction he experienced left him with deep and lasting wounds.

“After that holy war, the minions of Chaos never entered Arda again.” Gandalf hesitated, then stopped himself.

"But Ilúvatar left again thirty years ago."

left?
Zhuang Boshi and Zheng Zha exchanged a glance. Their purpose in returning was to bring this High Saint along to deal with the Chaos Evil God.

Unexpectedly, she left again.

Is he really that rarely home?

"Why?" Zhuang Boshi asked, puzzled.

Gandalf explained, "Ilúvatar tells us that terrible enemies will follow her trail."

"After reinforcing the great barrier, she left."

"However, before she left, she left behind a prophecy."

"The Saviors will return to the world of Arda once again."

"At that time, you can go to Lonely Mountain to get what you want."

Gao Sheng is indeed Gao Sheng.

Zhuang Boshi sighed silently.

But what terrifying enemy is Ilúvatar avoiding?
Could they be minions of the Primordial Heavenly Court?

At the end of the War of the Rings, the Chaos God said that Ilúvatar was mortally wounded.

The only ones capable of severely injuring a high-ranking saint are those shameless individuals from the Primordial Heavenly Court.

They really are a bunch of bad apples, those guys in Heaven.

"Okay!"

Zhan Lan quickly called out to everyone, "Don't stand at the door talking."

"I'm really craving Hobbit food!"

“Yes, yes!” Zhu Wen looked at the unique hole at the bottom of the bag with curiosity.

The Zhongzhou team's return to the world of Alda this time is not for sightseeing, but rather with a specific purpose in mind.

One event, enough to change the course of the war.

Just then, *snap*!

A firework exploded in the air.

"Let's go! Today is the Hobbit's Harvest Festival!" Gandalf said enthusiastically. "I've been waiting for this for half a year!"

As the leader of the Council of the Light in Middle-earth, Gandalf did not, like his predecessor Saruman the White, spend his days holed up in the Wizard Tower plotting schemes.

Gandalf's favorite thing was to travel the continent. Even after becoming the White Wizard, he simply wore an inconspicuous gray robe and rode around in a horse and carriage.

His legends are now circulating throughout Middle-earth.

He also needs to change his makeup, otherwise he'll easily be blocked on the road by hospitable humans, elves, and dwarves wherever he goes.

Of course, the Zhongzhou team also needs to disguise themselves.

There was no other way; as saviors who saved the world, Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan were worshipped as gods, while statues of others were erected all over the Middle Earth. The new generation worshipped them almost every day.

Although the group arrived uninvited, the hobbits still showed great hospitality.

The hobbits didn't care who they were; they just sang and danced around them, inviting them to try their latest culinary creations.

Gandalf laughed and tossed a handful of candy to lure the hobbit children away.

"You probably haven't experienced the full Hobbit Harvest Festival, have you?"

“Yes,” Zhuang Boshi remarked.

"I missed it every time."

Even the first part of the story, which started from Bag End Cave, ended with everyone leaving without even entering, all thanks to Chu Xuan's scheme.

Zheng Zha was thoroughly ravaged and left in the grass; he had no interest in enjoying the scenery of Bag Bottom Cave.

The second time was even worse. By then, the Shire of the Hobbits had become a den of evil spirits, and Neos almost perished there, with the Southern Flame team being killed.

But now, the scenery here is beautiful, with scenes that look like oil paintings everywhere.

The hobbits walking among them, each carrying a touch of everyday life, made the Middle State team feel even more at home.

The members of the Central Continent team chatted while occasionally accepting the special delicacies offered by the Hobbits.

More and more hobbits surrounded them, crowding them toward the center of the square.

It wasn't completely dark yet, but a campfire had already been lit.

The industrious hobbits have already laid out all sorts of delicious food on the table.

"Neo said that as they ate, they discovered that everyone around them was a ghost."

Every hobbit stared at them and asked, "Why aren't you eating yet?"

Cheng Xiao deliberately scared Zhu Wen.

But Zhu Wen is no longer the newcomer she once was. Having seen much of the world, she is no longer frightened by such scary stories. She calmly ate the roast suckling pig and even discussed with Na'er the three ways to roast suckling pig.

Everyone was relaxed, and Zhuang Boshi didn't give any further instructions. After all, the necessary training had been done, and the necessary preparations had been made. This was essentially the last day before the college entrance examination. Cramming at the last minute would only add to the pressure.

For a top-tier academic team like the Zhongzhou team, adjusting their mindset is the best preparation for the challenge.

But the next moment, Zhuang Boshi's forehead veins bulged.

Cheng Xiao had a few drinks and actually started doing somersaults with the hobbits, including consecutive backflips.

The hobbits were amazed by his performance, clapping and counting wildly.

Gandalf laughed heartily: "The messiahs are quite approachable too."

Zhuang Boshi quickly changed the subject: "What is the current situation in Middle-earth?"

Is there still war?

Gandalf's face darkened slightly: "War can never be eliminated."

"But thankfully, everyone remembers the pain of the apocalypse fifty years ago."

"The root of all the chaos is nothing more than the gaps created by the Valar and its internal divisions, which allowed the Chaos Creatures to find their weaknesses and make their way to the edge."

"Therefore, the new Saint White Council will no longer stand idly by as before."

"We hold regular meetings to mediate disputes and prevent other intrusions."

"Now, the Elf Kingdom has been rebuilt in the dense forest."

"The United Human Empire has occupied most of the plains."

"The Kingdom of Lonely Mountain remains the kingdom of dwarves."

“Azog established his orc kingdom in the Misty Mountains.”

“Azog…didn’t he have any conflicts with the dwarves?” Zheng Zha asked.

He was very impressed with this orc chieftain who was skilled in military strategy.

It's remarkable that they were able to hold out in the Blue Mountains with their remaining troops after the Chaos invasion.

“Conflicts will certainly occur, but they will all be within reasonable limits,” Gandalf said.

"And now they no longer live by plundering, but have started to study agriculture."

"The fruits and vegetables they produce are very popular on the mainland."

The orcs stopped robbing and started farming and raising pigs.

This scene made Zheng Zha laugh out loud. He remembered when he first met Azog, the guy had a fierce look on his face and didn't look like a good person at all.

Unexpectedly, since the beginning of chaos, he has become kind and gentle.

After experiencing the harvest festival, the Zhongzhou team began their westward flight.

They witnessed firsthand the dramatic changes that took place in Middle-earth.

The Orc Manor stretches for hundreds of thousands of acres.

The hardworking green-skinned beastmen are cultivating the fields, and they're even using simple coal-fired tractors to plow the land!
"You've really impressed me," Zhuang Boshi remarked.

“Orcs are a dark race created by Melkor,” Gandalf said.

"But the great Ilúvatar reshaped the orc race, making them into luminous beings just like us."

"So now they share the Misty Mountains with the dwarves."

"The Misty Mountains are no longer shrouded in mist; instead, they have become the most important trade route on the Middle-earth."

"Because here you will find all kinds of ironware and machinery produced by the dwarves, as well as all kinds of grains and fruits and vegetables grown by the orcs."

Gandalf casually picked a basket of large, red apples, and they appeared in his hands.

"This is a new breed developed by the orcs, Azog II."

"You can give it a try."

The Zhongzhou team lost their appetites at the thought of the fierce-looking orc and the red apple, except for Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan grabbed the apple and started taking a bite. He looked somewhat surprised, as if he hadn't expected the apple to have such a rich flavor.

Zhuang Boshi became curious and took a bite.

"Ah this..."

"It tastes really good."

This apple has a crisp and refreshing texture, and even the peel doesn't have the sourness or astringency of a typical apple peel.

He took another bite and was surprised to find that the apple core was extremely small.

Who would have thought that orcs would have such a strong talent for farming?

"Orcs and dwarves have created an industrial hierarchy," Dr. Zhuang remarked, pointing to the factories in the distance.

"If orcs also forge iron, then they will inevitably have a conflict of interest with the dwarves."

"But now, the orcs farm, and the dwarves forge iron; each side has its own role."

“Azog is a leader of great wisdom,” Gandalf remarked.

“The main conflict between the two tribes now is that sewage has polluted the farmland and orchards,” Gandalf said somewhat awkwardly.

"And the dwarves are unwilling to deal with their sewage."

The Zhongzhou team couldn't help but laugh out loud; even environmental issues had arisen.

Of course, this is just a conflict related to industrial competition, and it doesn't involve the thousand-year-old hatred between dwarves and orcs.

However, after that terrible war, the various races of Middle-earth completely abandoned their past prejudices, and exchanges between them deepened. At least Zhuang Boshi could see many humans and elves in the orc manors and dwarf factories.

"Are the elves also willing to leave their forest?" Zhuang Boshi asked.

Gandalf nodded: "Grace is also a leader of great wisdom."

"She insisted that the elves leave the forest and participate in the restoration and reconstruction of the continent."

"She even waived the elves' strict prohibition against intermarriage."

"Encourage intermarriage between elves and dwarves, humans, and even orcs."

"Ah, this..." The members of the Zhongzhou team looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's important to understand that elves in the Lord of the Rings world are an immortal race, a world apart from other races. You can imagine the immense pressure Grace faced when she encouraged intermarriage.

Moreover, there are precedents of love between humans and dwarves, but what about orcs...?

The combination of a burly green-skinned orc and a slender elf girl—it's like a scene straight out of a doujinshi manga.

Although the orcs are no longer as ugly as before after being embellished and beautified by Ilúvatar.

But would an elf be interested in an orc?
It's a completely different race's aesthetic.

“Now some half-elf hybrids have appeared,” Gandalf said.

"This has also brought about some social problems that we never thought of."

"The problem of hiring dwarves for factories, the problem of transportation for orc farms..."

If the original Middle-earth was still in the Middle Ages, then the current Middle-earth has some resemblance to Victorian society.

More frequent racial exchanges, while increasing conflicts, have also greatly stimulated social productivity.

Especially groups like dwarves, who were originally conservative and xenophobic, made full use of their intelligence and sold their fine ironware openly.

They not only produced armor and swords, but also agricultural tools, industrial implements, gravity hammers, windmills, steel ships, and so on.

These sophisticated production tools greatly improved production efficiency.

The orcs' talent in planting and animal husbandry greatly enriched the food supply of Middle-earth.

A new chapter has been turned in Middle-earth, ushering in a new era.

In the music of Ilúvatar, each tribe plays its own tune.

Enjoying oneself.

Upon arriving at Gushan, a tall figure was already waiting on the city wall.

“Wow—” Zhuang Boshi Nuoyu exclaimed.

"Look, they're waiting here!"

"I thought it was a rock formation resembling a waiting husband."

"Could it be one of those bespectacled scumbags in our team—?"

"They started it and then abandoned it."

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses.

A meteorite fell from the sky and hit Zhuang Boshi directly on the head.

"Hahahaha!!" Cheng Xiao laughed: "Who's getting anxious?"

But then, more than a dozen meteorites slammed into Cheng Xiao's face, knocking him to the ground.

Chu Xuan made no move, because the beautiful figure had already flown in front of him.

Grace glanced at Chu Xuan's fingers almost imperceptibly, her gaze suddenly hardening.

Then, she smiled nonchalantly at Chu Xuan.

"You're back."

"Wow!!" Zhan Lan, Zhu Wen, Na'er, and even Ming Yanwei and Zhao Yingkong all had expressions of utter astonishment.

This feeling of a wife waiting at home for her husband to return from a long trip is so appealing, especially since the male lead is also a celibate type!

Chu Xuan's lips twitched slightly. He turned his head and saw Zhuang Boshi and Zheng Zha recording with a miniature camera.

"Why are you looking at us!" Zhuang Boshi said.

"The Queen is asking you a question!"

"That's right!!" Zhang Jie exclaimed excitedly; he had been eagerly anticipating this moment!
Chu Xuan turned his head and asked, "You've reached level four of gene lock?"

The three pillars of Lonely Mountain, who led the elves through the Blood Queen's invasion of Chaos, now nodded shyly like a little girl.

"I think I can go with you now."

"I am now capable of becoming your partner."

Zhuang Boshi rested his chin on his hand.

Although the Central Plains team is now not short of a fourth-tier player, to be honest, Blood Queen Grace is much stronger than Imhotep in the original story.

The Zhongzhou team still has spots available.

"Chu Xuan, I think we can consider it."

"No."

A blue light appeared, and Zhang Xiaoxue's figure was projected.

“Miss Grace, your strength and position do not meet the requirements of the Zhongzhou team.”

"And our battles are not something you can handle."

"So, sorry."

With a fake smile, Zhang Xiaoxue politely rejected Grace.

Zhuang Boshi was completely bewildered and looked at Chu Xuan: "What's wrong with your artificial intelligence?"

"The activity level is quite high."

Chu Xuan said, "She is no longer simply artificial intelligence."

“I have iterated on the primordial technology, and Zhang Xiaoxue is now a true electronic life form.”

"She has her own will."

"Zhang Xiaoxue, silent mode."

Zhang Xiaoxue froze, and could only disappear.

Chu Xuan looked at Grace, his eyes devoid of any extra emotion.

“She’s right. Although you’ve reached the fourth level, you haven’t overcome your inner demons.”

"The next world is dangerous, not only because of enemies, but also because of the environment."

“I know!” Grace looked firmly into Chu Xuan’s eyes.

"Before Ilúvatar the High departed, he left behind a prophecy."

"You will launch a counterattack against that world of chaotic scum!"

"He said that would be our battlefield!!"

"The allied forces are ready and prepared: a thousand elves, ten thousand dwarves, and ten thousand humans!"

"And the orcs and giant eagles, they will all participate in this war of revenge!"

Chu Xuan shook his head: "That is a vast and boundless universe."

"Your coalition is meaningless!"

"Yes, yes," Zhuang Boshi tried to smooth things over, "In that world, the military often—"

Grace was still unwilling to give up: "But Ilúvatar left the key with me!"

"They are the coordinates of that chaotic world."

"He said we would fight side by side."

Zhuang Boshi then changed the subject: "But then again..."

“As victims, we cannot deprive you of your right to revenge.”

He turned to look at Chu Xuan: "As the captain, I feel I have to say a few words to you!"

"Can you please be a little nicer to the Queen? You can't always have that stern face!"

Chu Xuan's lips twitched slightly.

Zhuang Boshi quickly turned his head: "I agree, Ms. Grace."

"Please reorganize the army!"

"Set off immediately!"

Grace was immediately overjoyed. She glanced at Chu Xuan, lowered her head, and transformed into a giant bat, leaving.

Zheng Zha scratched his head: "Doctor, what are you doing?"

"Why the sudden change of heart and insistence on bringing Grace along?"

"Then the allied forces of the Central Plains?" Zhang Jie was also somewhat puzzled.

"How many people are there? We have ten million Astartes."

"Do you know why we need to go back to The Lord of the Rings?" Bosch asked, looking at everyone.

"why?"

“Because this time we’re going to use a special method to enter Warhammer.” Zhuang Boshi pointed to the sky.

"It was Yang Jian who reminded me. Since the evil god is invading the multiverse."

"Then there must have been traces left behind."

“Leaving traces makes it easier to track down the source.”

"Warhammer found!"

"I see!" Zhan Lan's eyes were filled with sudden realization.

"If we enter the world of the final war in the order of the main gods."

"We will be at a significant disadvantage."

"Especially under the planning of the clone Chu Xuan."

"so--"

"Change the entry time and catch them off guard!"

Zhuang Boshi looked at Chu Xuan: "Yang Jian is giving us the final big gift."

"I thought it was just to tell me the news that the Chaos God had invaded the multiverse."

"I only understood it recently."

"We can bypass the main god and launch a direct counterattack on the Warhammer universe."

"Especially now that we have the Primordial Fleet, we have the perfect timing, location, and support!"

“I wanted to return to the Ring, and I begged Ilúvatar to send us there.”

"I didn't expect that she had already figured out our target."

Zhuang Boshi smiled and said, "Just right."

"Now we have the coordinates."

"Brothers, let's make this a truly unique arrival!"
