Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Everyone knew war was coming.

Some people even looked forward to war.

For example, those who harbor ulterior motives and believe they can gain huge profits from the war, or those who have a strategic view of the situation and want to use the war to achieve their goals...

But no one expected that the war, which seemed to be some time away, would...

It suddenly erupted.

The outbreak of this war came without any warning, and the countries of the lower realms were completely unprepared for it.

Especially the Special Bureau Headquarters...

They were just talking about the war.

They were even thinking of contacting powerful figures in other countries and using them to force them to cooperate with the upper and middle realms, so that they would deal with He Li and the Heavenly Dao.

However, now the upper and middle realms have indeed dispatched a large number of powerful individuals to directly launch a strong attack on the lower realm.

What they had hoped for has happened.

But they themselves had lost their previous composure and were left only with astonishment and panic.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

"The upper and middle realms suddenly went to war?"

"Without the slightest warning..."

"We were completely unprepared. How could our local forces possibly withstand those powerful beings from the upper and middle realms? Even if those beings are suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm..."

"No matter how much we suppress them, they are still incredibly powerful cultivators, or even true immortals."

"How can mortals fight back?"

In the Kyoto headquarters conference room, the senior executives were staring at the documents and information handed to them by their subordinates, their faces filled with unease, anxiety, and a hint of panic.

Zheng Guo also frowned.

The war came so suddenly that they were not only unprepared, but also had no original plans...

They haven't even had a chance to unleash their full potential yet.

Even more critically, according to reports from below, the attacks from the upper and middle realms are extremely fierce, as if they intend to quickly take over the lower realm regardless of the cost.

Top investigators from Qianzhou and the surrounding areas, along with armed forces, all rushed over to provide support.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides is too large.

Those who are at the stage of enlightenment and tribulation...

Even cultivators at the Mahayana stage can move mountains and fill seas with a wave of their hand, annihilating investigators and martial artists below the Heaven level in droves without encountering the slightest obstacle.

In just a short while, the powerful figures from the middle and upper realms had already swept through almost the entire Qianzhou.

Given the current situation, let alone uniting with other countries and the forces of the upper and middle realms to deal with He Li and the Heavenly Dao, could they even withstand an attack from the upper and middle realms...?

It's hard to say whether they'll survive.

After all, the attacks from the upper and middle realms were too fierce; if the lower realm were to fall completely in a short period of time...

Then they no longer need to consider dealing with He Li and fighting for so-called "freedom" from the Heavenly Dao, because by then the beings in the lower realm will have already been enslaved by the middle and upper realms.

They already had no freedom.

Not only did they lose their freedom, but they also completely lost their homes.

Therefore, at this moment, Zheng Guo had no mind to think about those things related to He Li anymore.

All he wanted to know was why top experts like He Li hadn't yet stepped in to rescue them. Were they just going to stand by and watch the lower realm fall?

Zheng Guo couldn't quite understand it.

He also didn't believe that He Li or Jiang Hongxian were unaware that the Three Realms War had begun.

After all, they are beings who have ascended to godhood.

Such a significant matter, how could they not know about it when they could easily sense it with their power? Of course, as for why He Li and his group haven't made a move yet…

Although reluctant to admit it, Zheng Guo harbored a pessimistic suspicion.

Regarding this speculation, it is that...

He Li may have learned about the thoughts of these powerful and influential people through some means, and he may even have been preparing to carry out a major purge of the world.

Even Zheng Guo had to admit that there were too many ugly people in the world.

And what about He Li...?

From the moment I noticed him...

Zheng Guo knew that He Li was the kind of person who was closer to believing in absolute justice, and he wouldn't care what the consequences of punishing individual criminals would be.

All he knew was that he had to kill the other man and make him pay for the sins he had committed.

These kinds of people have now become the true gods of the world...

He said he wouldn't target people who harbor evil intentions, or those who have committed sins but escaped retribution due to various influences, and even live very comfortably.

That is absolutely impossible.

He Li will definitely settle scores with the world, but Zheng Guo didn't know what He Li would do before.

He also didn't believe that He Li would recklessly kill people in public, as this would have some impact on the divine right to rule the world.

But now, Zheng Guo has an idea...

He Li's approach is very likely to use the war between the middle and upper realms to achieve his goal of settling scores.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain it...

Why is he Heli, a powerful god...?

Moreover, as a god of the lower realm and an existence favored by the Heavenly Dao, why did the lower realm hesitate to take action and only observe from afar when faced with the war and invasion of the upper and middle realms?

Furthermore, it's not just about He Li...

Jiang Hongxian, Mu Lan, and other powerful figures who wielded divine power did not participate in the war.

They probably didn't intervene in the war because they saw that He Li hadn't made a move.

If He Li doesn't make a move...

They might really just stand by and do nothing.

Although such matters could not be confirmed, Zheng Guo knew that they could neither confirm them nor wait for them to make a move, because the attacks from the middle and upper realms were too fierce.

Continue to wait motionless...

If they've all been killed by then, what good will it do for He Li and his men to intervene?

However... even if Zheng Guo thought of these things, he couldn't voice these speculations now, because it would be meaningless and wouldn't get He Li and the others to take action.

And who knows...

This will also make her a target of He Li.

Zheng State did not want to do anything that would be counterproductive, but they also had to solve their current predicament.

So after frowning and thinking for a long time...

Zheng Guo spoke up: "The strength of the Middle Realm and the Upper Realm is too great; we are completely unable to contend with them. Moreover, I believe that this is not even their true fighting strength."

"After all, they know the situation in the lower realm and who the real powerhouses are."

"Faced with this situation..."

"We have absolutely no chance of winning!"

"So..." Zheng Guo paused slightly before continuing, "If we want to ensure victory in the lower realm, the only way is to actively seek out the top-tier combatants and get them to take action..."

No sooner had Zheng Guo finished speaking than someone questioned, "Do you mean to actively seek them out?"

"He is on the opposite side of us."

"Not to mention that he's standing by now, even if we actively beg him, he might not take immediate action. And even if he does, what will we do then?"

"I don't believe someone like him would really let us off the hook without a reckoning!"

Everyone seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Zheng Guo shook his head upon hearing this.

"You don't have to go, it doesn't matter."

"In any case, I will go there. In any case, judging from the current situation, the lower realm can't stop the strong people from the middle and upper realms. They will just come and kill us anyway."

"You will all die, and even if you don't, you will be enslaved by the powerful beings of the Middle and Upper Realms."

"You'll be in even worse shape then."

Having said that, he stood up.

Since they had figured out that He Li's reason for not taking action was to use the hands of the upper and middle realms to punish the sinners of humanity, then in Zheng Guo's view, as long as they took the initiative to find He Li...

Since He Li has voluntarily expressed his willingness to accept the reckoning, he naturally no longer needs to utilize the upper and middle realms.

The war will end soon.

As for these people?

They might die, but considering they confessed their crimes, He Li certainly wouldn't be too harsh. Besides... Zheng Guo had already heard about the Netherworld.

In his view, if such a thing as a soul or consciousness truly existed, then even if their physical bodies died...

It doesn't necessarily mean they have no chance of surviving.

Perhaps, they might even have the chance to live a better life than when they were alive.

Of course, Zheng Guo wouldn't say much about these things.

Can others understand...?

That was their own business, so after saying that, Zheng Guo left the meeting room directly. He was going to Shu Prefecture to find He Li and ask him to help.

The others watched Zheng Guo's departing figure, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.

But after a brief silence...

Soon, some people stood up and quickly chased after the direction Zheng Guo had left in.

Clearly, this person decided to listen to the state of Zheng.

Seeing this, the remaining people no longer hesitated and decided to leave. After all, if they lost this war, they would either die or be enslaved.

This situation is even more chaotic than what principle can rule the world...

It's much worse.

If that's the case, then why don't they voluntarily conform to reason and the will of Heaven and accept a lower price...?

It's not necessarily a bad thing!
