The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The Song hexagram can now create sixty clones per day.

You can create nearly two thousand clones in a month.

Not long after the Battle of Dianjiang Mountain, all the clones lost in that battle were replenished.

Although the bandits are all wearing hoods now, their faces are actually different from Song Gua's.

Because after possessing the Dark Bronze Mirror, the process of creating a clone is as follows:

Call the seniors "Dad" → Use the Dark Scales to smooth out life fluctuations → Use the Dark Mirror to select a face → First job advancement → Second job advancement → Third job advancement → Join the main force or cannon fodder group.

Therefore, the intelligence team of Da Congming was expanded tenfold.

Song Gua wants his clones to infiltrate all the important forces, organizations, and departments around the world!

The face problem is easy to solve, but a legal identity is not.

So Song Gua is asking Miss Butterfly for help again.

Just as Song Gua was having a long phone conversation with Miss Butterfly, his clone, located outside New Washington, North America, sent a message.

"Night Owl's men are here."

Song Gua immediately handed the phone to Da Congming and told him to keep working on it.

He, on the other hand, switched places and arrived at the place he had agreed upon with Night Owl and the others.

"Chief A, have you brought everything I asked for?"

The way Song Gua said that makes it sound like he's talking about gangsters on the street.

Although, strictly speaking, both of them are indeed gangsters.

All ten Heavenly Stems of the Night Owl have arrived, wearing golden masks ranging from Jia to Gui.

"The monument is in our backpacks, but what about what we need?"

Song Gua was taken out openly and generously.

A stone of resentment.

"It's a pity that the divine stele of this treasure-hunting illusion was destroyed along with the one at Dianjiang Mountain."

"As long as the resentment stone is not wrong, that's fine."

"Don't worry, you can tell which illusion this thing comes from just by touching it."

"Well, we can search for the divine stele ourselves. There should be another divine stele in the same illusion. If we really can't find it, I'll accept my fate."

"Treasure Hunting Realm... Their external forces must be related to exploration and treasure hunting, which is indeed what you Night Owls like."

However, you're willing to exchange all of your hundred-plus Illusionary Divine Tablets for this one Stone of Resentment. Surely it's not just because the external power of this illusion suits you?

The owl steals things everywhere.

They stole quite a few of the Federation's Illusionary Divine Steles.

In the battle of Dianjiang Mountain, Song Gua destroyed all the poisoned Illusionary Divine Steles.

He now possesses a Stone of Resentment but lacks a Divine Stele. A group of clones that have been identified as compatible with the Stone of Resentment are eagerly awaiting the discovery of the corresponding Divine Stele to become pseudo-spirit illusionists.

Afterwards, the Night Owl Thieves contacted him.

They indicated that they could exchange the Illusionary Divine Stele in their possession for the Treasure-Seeking Illusionary Resentment Stone in Song Gua's possession.

Song Gua still remembers that at the pre-battle spoils distribution meeting, Night Owl said that they only wanted this group and could give up the other profits.

A waved his hand, signaling the other members of the Night Owl group, whose codenames were from the Heavenly Stems, to bring out the Divine Stele.

Instead of releasing the divine tablet directly, they packaged it in metal boxes, clearly to prevent it from confusing people's minds.

There were a total of 137, piled up into a small mountain.

"Have a pleasant transaction. As for matters outside of this, you shouldn't inquire about them. They have nothing to do with you bandits."

Song Gua instructed the dozen or so clones behind him to step forward and collect all the divine tablets into their respective backpacks.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you. We need a large number of divine tablets right now, and we'll take any that come our way. If you make any more gains, we can continue trading."

A did not answer, but simply clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and left with the other Heavenly Stems and Night Owls.

Only when their figures were no longer clearly visible did Song Gua say with a faint smile.

"It's been a pleasure doing business with you, landlady. But I'm still curious, what is it that Night Owl really wants to get by stealing things everywhere every day?"

Yes, Song Gua remembered where he had heard Jia's voice before.

Two years ago, Song Gua was still a senior in high school at Yunshan No. 5 Middle School.

Zhao Can's older brother, Zhao Xin, broke into Song Gua's house at night, intending to steal the game guide, but was caught by Monkey King.

At that time, Monkey King was no match for Zhao Xin, so he pulled out a cannon fodder clone from the wardrobe and made him self-destruct, killing Zhao Xin.

However, at the same time, it also destroyed Song Gua's house.

After that, Song Gua rented a house outside.

He rented a place in a residential complex called Xihaiyuan, which is just across the street from Yunshan No. 5 Middle School.

The landlord of the apartment I rented at the time was named Jia Shilan.

To conclude that it's a case based solely on similar sounds is insufficient evidence.

But when Song Gua reversed the name Jia Shilan, he was certain that he had not guessed wrong.

Lan is Jia.

"I never imagined that such a small city like Yunshan would be so full of hidden talents. Not only does it have a peerless hero like me, but also the leader of the Night Owl Thieves Gang. Impressive, impressive..."

In the last three months of the year, another major event occurred on Earth.

The Celestials and the Avengers, working together from within and without, massively destroyed the Sky Veil system, destroying more than half of the Sky Veil bases, and officially entered Earth.

The million-strong mechanical army launched a devastating attack on many of the Federation's military bases.

Judging from the videos circulating online, the area that was attacked was basically razed to the ground, leaving only a charred black spot.

The power of technology in large-scale destruction is terrifying.

Earth has officially entered a state of war.

Whenever an airplane flies overhead, the entire city goes on alert, and citizens rush to take refuge in underground air-raid shelters.

The allied forces and the Celestial Legion were fighting almost every day.

The clash between technological power and the power of professionals often ignites online discussions.

As the celestial beings attacked Earth, they continuously used drones to spread messages:

"Blue Star isn't Blue Star! It's Earth! Wake up, Earthlings! Don't be fooled by them anymore!"

"We are originally of the same race, but we were forced to leave Mars a thousand years ago. We continued along the path of science, while you embarked on the crooked path of professionalism!"

"By relinquishing the power of professionals and getting the world back on track, we will return to Earth and lead everyone towards a new world where science and the humanities flourish once more!"

The advocates for the return of the West have been striving for over a thousand years, and today they have finally achieved their goal.

They do not launch proactive attacks on cities unless a city itself was developed by federal military forces and has significant strategic importance.

The pro-reunification faction spread these messages because they also want to wage a propaganda war.

This is where the usefulness of the Celestial Beings, whom the Federation has nurtured for many years and whom they call a "cult," becomes apparent.

These are ordinary people who took to the streets to march, holding up flags and banners, and advocating the "crime of changing jobs".

"Root cause - destruction - wrong path - job change - guilt - "

"Abandon the path of job change and return to technological civilization—"

"Welcome back to the Returning Force! The world is back on track!"

These propaganda efforts were quickly and forcefully suppressed by the federal government.

The federal government originally had no time to deal with these rampant "cults".

Because the heavenly beings' offensive was so fierce, it even reached the Supreme Council of the Pacific Ocean.

But soon, three of the ten patriarchs were awakened.

The pressure on the returning faction's legions has increased significantly.

Playing away from home already presented them with many inconveniences, and after the three Ancestral-level Divine Transformations made their moves, their defeats immediately increased.
