I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

Another half month has passed, and the situation has stabilized for the time being.

The beasts and humans achieved a balance of power, but this balance could not last long because the number of human martial artists was far less than that of the beasts, and they could only defend themselves by relying on technological weapons.

Other than that,

The most serious problem is—

With the initial annexation of the two worlds, the connections between major cities were almost completely severed, and without support and resource replenishment, some cities fell into a huge crisis. Under such circumstances, China issued a new regulation.

The meaning is very simple:

From today onwards, each city will operate independently. As long as it allows people to survive, it is up to them to decide who is in control and what methods are used!

Such regulations will cause many problems for the country.

But as long as people can survive, nothing else matters.

A new era has arrived!

...

The East China General Bureau was located in the fortress in the center of the lake island.

Compared to the city facing attacks from the beast tide, the ferocious beasts near the East China Headquarters were all wiped out when they appeared, and the area is currently relatively safe, while also bearing the heavy responsibility of rescuing the city.

In the director's office.

Yue Beishan sat behind his desk with a deep frown. He hadn't slept for a month and even ate and drank in his office.

Dozens of cities have already fallen within his jurisdiction.

Originally, the martial artists of the East China General Bureau were sufficient to suppress the beast tide, but a month ago, the Hall of Sages issued an order that all martial artists who had reached the Earth Martial Realm, except for those in important positions, should go to the frontier to guard the border.

The border regions are now the core of China, and it is necessary to deploy high-level military forces from across the country to suppress them.

If the borders are lost, the country will cease to exist.

With all the law enforcement officers transferred to the frontier, the Divine Realm became the headquarters' high-level combat force, and naturally had no ability to support those suffering cities.

Yue Beishan also received a transfer order and will soon be heading to the frontier.

Before that, he must find someone to take over his current position.

In his heart, there was only one person who could shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Just as he was deep in thought, there was a knock on the office door.

"Knock knock—"

"Come in."

The office door opened, and an investigator walked in carrying a box. When Yue Beishan saw her, a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

A month and a half ago, Jiang Qin and Cang Ling went to Tianyun City to provide support but disappeared without a trace.

The area around Tianyun City was shrouded in black fog and could not be entered.

This investigator was the one he sent to keep an eye on, and he was to report any changes immediately. Now that the other party has returned to headquarters, there must be results.

"So, any news about Enforcement Officer Cang and Deputy Commander Jiang?"

The female investigator shook her head with a bitter expression, then placed the wooden box on the desk and began with great difficulty:

"I followed your instructions and kept watch outside the black fog. Just three hours ago, the black fog finally dissipated, but... the original site of Tianyun City has been razed to the ground, and no living creature survived. Moreover, I also discovered some things."

Yue Beishan frowned and opened the wooden box, only to find a pile of minced meat inside.

As soon as it was opened, a strong smell of blood hit the door.

The female investigator sighed, "I found this inside the black mist. The black mist can devour matter, but for some reason this pile of flesh wasn't devoured. I've already given it to the laboratory for testing, and it's confirmed that this flesh and blood tissue belongs to Deputy Commander Jiang, including fragments of his heart."

"The lab results are in, and Lieutenant Jiang has already..."

With his heart shattered like that, no one could have survived. One can only imagine the kind of battle Jiang Qin went through.

The next second, the woman in the ancient robe appeared in the office.

He is one of the strongest.

She had devoted all her energy to stabilizing the world's defenses, so she did not go to the frontier, but stayed at the East China headquarters.

The woman in the ancient robe touched the pool of flesh and blood and said softly, "No, I can feel that the child is not dead. Although his body has disintegrated, he is still alive, in another form."

"What exactly happened? Why did Jiang Qin become like this?" Yue Beishan asked with difficulty.

The woman in the ancient robe replied calmly, "The fact that the flesh and blood are mixed with the divine power of the Sun God confirms my guess that the four leaders of the Cangling Realm descended on Blue Star a month ago, probably for the sake of Cangling. Jiang Qin was also one of their targets."

Yue Beishan was shocked by this news.

Although China has been fighting against the gods, it has only come into contact with some low-level gods. The strength of the leaders of the four major god factions is immeasurable. If any one of them were not restricted by the Heavenly Dao, they would be able to annihilate all current human forces.

A month ago, the leaders of the four great gods actually descended upon Blue Star at the same time... What exactly happened in Tianyun City back then?

He quickly asked, "In your prophecy, will Jiang Qin and Cang Ling be able to return?"

The ancient-robed woman's laws allowed her to utilize a portion of the power of fate, enabling her to glimpse fragments of the future, and she also provided the answers she had deduced.

Upon hearing this answer, Yue Beishan fell silent.

After the woman in the ancient robe left with the flesh and blood tissue and the female investigator left the office, he returned to his desk and sat down, bowing his head in silence for a long time. He began to make some arrangements for the future.

……

In another world.

Unlike Earth, this world is vast and boundless, its territory several times larger than Earth's.

It is a true paradise for ferocious beasts.

The trees in the jungle here are hundreds of meters tall, with trunks as thick as houses. Humans are tiny here, no different from ants in our eyes. The climate is sometimes extremely cold, and sometimes as hot as the scorching sun overhead.

Beside a stream in the woods, the water flows gently.

A wooden house was built beside the stream at some point.

Jiang Qin, floating in the air like a ghost, slowly opened his eyes. An unfamiliar environment came into view, and an unprecedented sense of weakness enveloped him, making it impossible for him to even sense spiritual power.

"woke up."

A soft voice came from the side, and he turned his head to see Cang Ling.

Cang Ling sat cross-legged by the stream, her appearance unchanged from before, but her pupils had turned completely golden, a mark of a deity.

Jiang Qin remained silent, glancing down at his own soul.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "Are you now the Enforcer Cang Ling, or... the God Cang Ling?"

Cang Ling lowered her eyes, gazing at the stream: "I have remembered everything. These two identities mean nothing to me. The so-called god... is just a false lie."

Gods? Lies?

Before Jiang Qin could ask a question, she turned her head and continued:

"Your current state is very strange. According to the rules, a person's soul should dissipate after death, but there is a force that protects your soul. So at that time, I took your soul back to the Cangling Realm, while your physical body had already collapsed."

Jiang Qin lowered his head: "What... should I do now?"

Cang Ling replied, "I don't know either. Your soul is very special. Even if you return to Blue Star and find a human body, you won't be able to possess it. Moreover... my life is almost coming to an end, and I will never be able to return to Blue Star again."
