Chapter 430 Yama, the King of Hell, the Assembly of All Beings!?
The words fell.

Without saying a word, Hong Qitian turned around and began operating the equipment behind him.

Swah——

A holographic projection instantly lit up and clearly floated above the stage.

Ensure that every corner of the venue is clearly visible.

The first thing to appear on screen.

It was neither the anticipated Ghost Tide nor a strategic map.

Instead, it is an extremely bizarre biological structure diagram that makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.

It resembled a bloated vesicle forcibly fused together from countless pale, twisted bones and writhing flesh.

The surface is covered with thick blood vessels and pores that open and close like breathing.

Inside, one can vaguely see countless shadowy figures of various ghosts, huddled together.

The sheer number is staggering.

"Mother nest".

Hong Qitian's voice revealed the name of the monster.

He gestured with his finger towards the projection.

His gaze swept over the crowd below the stage.

"I believe some of you here are familiar with this kind of thing."

"They are enormous individually, but compared to the boundless army of Fate Demons, they appear extremely small and easy to hide. Their bodies form their own space. Based on the analysis of the samples we have destroyed so far, the nest of a mature one is large enough to contain 300,000 to 500,000 Fate Demons of various kinds."

Hong Qitian's tone became more forceful.

With an unprecedented seriousness.

"Before the Great Wall at Sea was built, our advance reconnaissance forces and outer patrol fleets had already engaged in several brief but fierce battles with the Vanguard Legion of Fate Ghosts that had seeped out from the Bone Continent."

"A very clear trend that must be taken very seriously is that the main offensive mode of the Ghost Army has undergone a fundamental change. They no longer rely on numbers to launch endless waves of attacks, but have turned to a precision delivery tactic centered on the mother nest."

"They will conceal a large number of troops in one or more mother nests in advance, and then, through some means that we have not yet fully mastered, they will be sent over long distances, either hidden in deep-sea trenches or buried under near-shore silt. At the most unexpected moment and the most critical point, they will suddenly appear, swarm out, and instantly tear apart the defense line."

Hong Qitian slammed his hand heavily on the podium, making a dull thud.

It sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"What does this mean? It means that our monitoring, surveying, and early warning of the seabed have become more important than ever before, reaching an unprecedented strategic level."

"This means that past defense experience may be ineffective, and that any negligence could lead to a catastrophic local collapse!"

His gaze was so intense that it made the tens of thousands of high-ranking officers and powerful figures below the stage feel breathless.

"Therefore, this first point, which is the most important thing I want to emphasize to all war zones and all commanders at this meeting, is to prevent the infiltration of the Mother Nest!"

"Make sure you weave a tight deep-sea reconnaissance network and utilize all available detection methods. I don't care what methods you use, I just want results!"

"We must never allow a fully-fledged mother nest to silently infiltrate the foot of our Great Wall."

"This will be the primary indicator for evaluating the tenure of the highest commanders in each theater command. Anyone who neglects their duties and causes the defense line to be breached will be subject to military law without exception!"

Hong Qitian's voice carried an undisguised iron-blooded tone.

Everyone present looked solemn.

They all recorded this point with utmost seriousness.

Everyone knew that Hong Qitian placed this point at the very beginning of the meeting and emphasized it separately, which spoke volumes about its importance.

This is not a suggestion, but an ironclad rule.

Fang Qingyu nodded slightly, keeping this in mind.

The Dawn Legion possesses the City of Injustice, a mobile fortress capable of submersion, giving it a natural advantage in anti-submarine warfare and deep-sea reconnaissance. However, this does not mean that we can be complacent.

He turned his gaze slightly and happened to catch a glimpse of Jiang Qi standing to his side and behind him.

The newly appointed liaison officer maintained her professional and capable expression. She didn't seem too surprised by Hong Qitian's announcement of the astonishing news, as if she already knew it.

at this time.

Hong Qitian on the podium switched the projector.

The scene changed, and the grotesque monster that appeared was no longer there.

But a person.

A close-up photo of a young man's face.

He even looked somewhat handsome, with black hair, pale skin, and well-defined facial features.

But those eyes were lifeless, like two bottomless ancient wells.

He showed no emotional fluctuation, simply staring indifferently at the camera, as if gazing at everyone outside the screen.

I saw this photo.

Many people in the audience looked puzzled.

Who is this?
Hong Qitian's finger touched the photo.

"This is the one that many people have asked about, guessed about, and are curious about—the current supreme ruler of the Fate Ghost Clan."

He paused slightly, as if giving everyone time to prepare mentally.

Then he clearly uttered that name.

"His name is Yama, the King of Hell."

The moment the words "King Yama" were uttered, the entire venue fell silent.

You can hear the needle drop.

next second.

Some noisy sounds couldn't help but rise from various corners of the venue.

"what?!"

"Is it... that King Yama?!"

"How can this be?!"

"The King of Hell?! How could he be the ruler of the dead?!"

Even Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei, with their level of mental cultivation, were shocked the moment they heard this name.

A hint of astonishment and disbelief flashed across his dark eyes and red pupils.

Yama.

This is not just any random nickname or code.

This is the infamous Lord of the Underworld, a figure from mythology who rules over the netherworld and judges the reincarnation of all beings.

How could such a being be the supreme ruler of bloodthirsty, tyrannical demons who feed on humans?!

The contrast in their identities.

It's absolutely absurd.

Hong Qitian on the stage calmly watched the uncontrolled uproar below. He did not speak to stop it, but simply waited quietly.

A few seconds later, the noise subsided like the tide, and everyone forced themselves to calm down.

But pairs of eyes remained fixed on the face projected on the screen.

It was filled with confusion and solemnity.

Hong Qitian then slowly spoke, confirming the absurd truth: "That's right, it's the Yama King you've been imagining. And the so-called royal family members in the Fate Ghost camp who are the most powerful and possess unique talents. After extensive verification, we have found that their origins can almost all correspond to those well-known ghosts and gods in the ancient mythology of the underworld system."

“The titles of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, Judges, and even the Ten Kings of Hell have all been confirmed in different royal families.”

This news is even more alarming than the broodstock tactic.

However, it wasn't because of Yama's power or anything like that.
Rather, it's because of the difference in their identities.

Otherwise, as we see now, humanity faces enemies including the gods.

And most of the gods.

The advocacy is not to kill all of humanity, but to keep humanity in captivity.

Therefore, Yama, the King of Hell, will side with the ghosts of fate.

And it is somewhat surprising that he became the supreme leader and advocated the extermination of humanity.

And so it seems.

Humanity faces more than just invasions by alien races.

to some extent.

It's more like a battle against the dark side of one's own cultural legends.

The venue was completely silent.

Only Hong Qitian's voice echoed.

"I am telling you this not to instill fear, but to make you recognize the true nature of the enemy."

"They are not monsters without origin; they possess a long history, a strict hierarchy, and bizarre abilities that may originate from the mythological era." Hong Qitian's tone became extremely serious again, even carrying a hint of warning.

"Therefore, this leads to the second point I want to emphasize."

"Except for a few war zones specifically designated by headquarters, all other war zones and all combat units, if they encounter these confirmed royal families and their direct legions on the battlefield..."

His gaze swept across the entire room, and he commanded, word by word:

"Retreat is your top priority. There is no room for hesitation or wishful thinking."

"Don't try to be heroes. Your mission isn't to kill royalty, understand?!"

"Yes!"

A low, somber response rang out from the audience.

Everyone frowned and memorized this ironclad rule.

Hong Qitian would specifically emphasize this point at the meeting.

It's clearly not just because those royal families are powerful.

There must be other reasons as well.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated here.

But everyone must follow this rule.

Fang Qingyu also noticed that when Jiang Qi heard the order, she didn't even bother to write it down; she just nodded slightly.

She seemed to notice Fang Qingyu's gaze, turned slightly to the side, and quickly explained in a very low voice, "General Fang, our A7 war zone is one of the specific war zones designated by headquarters."

Her tone was very certain.

It is clear that they had already obtained the relevant authorization documents.

Fang Qingyu understood, nodded slightly, and turned his gaze back to the podium.

The Dawn Legion's combat power is capable of operating in specific war zones.

This was what he expected.

At this moment, Hong Qitian had already switched to the third image.

The projected image no longer shows a single target.

Instead, it was a dozen or so neatly arranged portrait photos of people.

There were men and women, young and old, dressed in various ways. Some looked like successful businessmen, some like scholars, and some were just ordinary passersby.

But their eyes all share a common quality.

An extreme frenzy hidden beneath a calm surface.

"The Assembly of the Gods".

Hong Qitian read the name aloud.

"This organization is probably familiar to everyone."

"For a long time, they were like rats in the gutter, lurking in all parts of human society, spreading panic, creating chaos, worshipping so-called gods, and regarding humans as lambs and sacrifices."

"After the full descent of the Fate Demons and the gods, this organization was not marginalized or wiped out as we had expected. Instead, they were completely absorbed and integrated by another god, and their name was changed."

"Now, they call it the Assembly of All Beings."

"It can be said that the reorganized All Beings Society is even more harmful than before. They are currently the number one evil cult organization within our human race that needs to be eliminated first!"

"They currently specialize in roaming and infiltrating the high-level circles of major base cities, especially those who are seriously ill and have nowhere to seek medical treatment, or those who have been stuck at the bottleneck of cultivation for many years and are eager to break through."

Hong Qitian's fingers traced across those dozen or so faces.

"Their slogan is 'Everything for humanity.'"

A suppressed commotion arose from the audience.

Many people wore expressions of absurdity.

"Yes, all for the sake of humanity."

Hong Qitian repeated it, his tone sarcastic.

"Those who are successfully bewitched and brainwashed by them may even genuinely believe that everything they do is for the future of humanity."

"They don't even think they're betraying humanity. In their minds, we are the stubborn ones who are hindering humanity's salvation, the heretics!"

"This means that ordinary interrogation and interrogation methods have extremely limited effect on these deeply brainwashed people."

"They don't think they're doing anything wrong; they even go to their deaths with a martyr-like fanaticism, which makes it extremely difficult to identify them and exponentially increases their harmfulness!"

Hong Qitian waved his hand sharply and gave a decisive order: "Therefore, the third point! All war zones and departments, once they discover any clues that may be related to the All Beings Society, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem, must immediately report them as the highest level of emergency military intelligence!"

"There must be no delays, and there must be no concealment! Headquarters will dispatch a professional team to handle this directly!"

"Eliminating internal corruption and ensuring the stability of the rear of the Great Wall is no less important than any battle on the front lines! Did you all understand?!"

"Listen clearly!"

A deafening response echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone felt how difficult and serious this matter was.

Fang Qingyu listened, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The assembly of gods.
This organization was present throughout his martial arts career.

It caused him a lot of trouble.

It was originally thought that these human cults would disappear after the full descent of the gods.

Surprisingly, it not only survived.

It has also changed its appearance and become even more dangerous.

Talk about it.
The feud between himself and He Manhe was not yet completely over.

After fighting them in the City of Injustice.

The other person then disappeared.

On stage, Hong Qitian turned off the projector.

The intelligence briefing session has ended.

He surveyed the entire room once more, his face solemn and stern.

"As I said, this meeting will not specifically assign defense and combat tasks to each theater command."

"But the three points I just emphasized are common tasks that all theater commands and all combat units must always keep in mind and prioritize in future wars! They are ironclad rules that supersede all tactical tasks!"

"I hope you will all keep this in mind and strictly implement it!"

"The meeting is now adjourned!"

After finishing his speech, Hong Qitian turned around decisively and walked off the stage.

The Great Hall of the People fell silent for a moment.

Immediately following this were the sounds of tables and chairs being moved and footsteps.

The officers and leaders at all levels, their faces solemn, began to leave in an orderly fashion, exchanging hushed conversations.

General Yu Bo also stood up.

After Fang Qingyu nodded in acknowledgment, he hurriedly left with his entourage.

Soon, the once bustling venue became empty.

As instructed by Hong Qitian.

Only a few specific theater commanders and their core members, such as A7, B2, C1, and D5, were specifically named and required to stay behind.

Fang Qingyu, along with Jiang Wei, Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, Xiao Jiu, and others, as well as Jiang Qi who was in charge of taking notes, moved to the front row to sit down.

About three or four hundred people remained.

Every single one of them was a powerful individual with a profound and concentrated aura.

They were clearly the strongest units in the front-line war zone.

Hong Qitian returned and went back onto the podium.

Without any further pleasantries, they immediately turned on the projection equipment again.

"Your war zones are currently only responsible for one task in this Great Wall campaign."

"That is the royal army that is keeping a close eye on the Fate Demon, and the divine army that is on the side of the Fate Demon."

Detailed content clips began to appear sequentially on the projector.

It is no longer a simple portrait, but images of known royal family members, information about the divine objects they control, analysis of their abilities and characteristics, combat styles, and information about the gods they may belong to.

"I won't assign you any rigid targets here."

“You should each choose based on their abilities and your own, but I hope no royal ghost will be left behind.”

After saying that, Hong Qitian started playing PTT (a popular Taiwanese online forum).

The projection behind.

The first photo was released immediately.
