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

After the battle on the moon began, Zhang Beihai led the staff group of the Strategic Department to command the operation on the front line.

An army of millions, without proper command and coordination, will be incredibly chaotic and inefficient, even against a bunch of mindless monsters.

The staff led by Zhang Beihai is the brains and strategist of the human professional army.

The people in the sky don't need Zhang Beihai's command; they have their own superior command group.

The sudden appearance of Zhang Beihai elicited a variety of reactions from the Five Ancestors, the Celestial Beings, the professionals, the war correspondents, and the audience.

The main feelings were surprise and confusion.

You're just an ordinary third-tier professional—even though Zhang Beihai is actually a Transcendent Realm cultivator of low cultivation level, how dare you say such boastful things in this kind of setting?

Song Gua and the bandits, on the other hand, were not particularly surprised.

Song Gua knew that Zhang Beihai's identity was not simple.

After all, the person who truly killed Zhang Erhe was Zhang Beihai.

Is Zhang Beihai now stepping forward to defend himself because he's preparing to reveal his true identity?

The one-sided massacre at the scene has temporarily stopped.

Guangzu's eyes were sharp as he dispelled his divine appearance and questioned Zhang Beihai.

"Zhang Beihai, step back! This is none of your business!"

Zhang Beihai stood tall and fearless, alone atop a solitary mountain, his voice booming in all directions.

"Light Ancestor, Illusion Ancestor, Blade Ancestor, Sword Ancestor, Slaughter Ancestor! I now demand that you immediately return to Blue Star and cease your pursuit of Song Gua, the bandits, or anyone else who opposes you!"

The Five Ancestors were amused.

"Zhang Beihai, did you hit your head? Do you even know who you're talking to?"

"Does a mere chief of staff really think you can command us all?"

"He must be thinking something like, 'The bandits have done great things for the world, Song Gua is a savior, he shouldn't be killed.' Hah, ridiculous!"

"Zhang Beihai! Put away your theories of justice; those things don't apply here! Song Gua must die!"

Zhang Beihai countered with a question.

"Just because Song Gua killed the Poison Ancestor? You want to avenge the Poison Ancestor? I had no idea that the ten ancestors had such a deep bond?"

Guangzu spoke frankly.

"Well... of course not. He has the power to kill us, but he doesn't belong to our side, so he's bound to die, just like Jia Xingchen back then."

"What are Earthlings in your eyes?"

"What?"

"I ask you! What are humans in your eyes?!"

"Well... I don't want to discuss philosophy or politics with you today. Those are ridiculous things. Considering your relationship with the late Zhang Erhe, I won't kill you today. Get out of here!"

The matter has already been discussed to this extent.

It can be said that the Tenth Patriarch had already given Zhang Beihai a great deal of face.

On Earth, people who learned about the situation live through the broadcast all felt...

That's enough. For Zhang Beihai, being able to speak a fair word for the bandits and make a legitimate request is already more than enough.

We can't exactly ask him to actually make the Tenth Patriarch stop, can we?

He doesn't have that kind of fighting ability either.

However, what no one expected was...

Today's campaign of the Five Ancestors against the bandits was ultimately quelled by Zhang Beihai!

"Five Ancestors, I am now issuing you a solemn warning: stop immediately and return to Blue Star!"

Otherwise, I will disclose to the resistance the locations, defenses, and hibernation pod structures of all secret hibernation bases.

I believe that with their strength, destroying half of the hibernation base, let alone completely destroying it, and killing the still-dormant spirits within would be no problem at all.

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Patriarch's expression changed.

"Zhang Beihai! You..."

Seeing Guangzu raise his hand, golden light gathering in his palm, it was clear he intended to kill him to silence him.

Zhang Beihai, however, unhurriedly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his chest.

A sensor was attached to his chest, and a red indicator light was flashing.

"Before I landed on the moon, I wrote a snitch program. As soon as my vital signs disappear, the snitch program will send all the secrets I know about you onto the internet!"

Huan Zu chuckled dismissively.

"You're just a lowly Chief of Staff in the Strategic Department. How many secrets do you think you know?"

A hibernation base that's been mysteriously revealed? So what if you've announced it? We're worried about how the rebels are relying on the unique environment of Antarctica, and we don't know how to eliminate them.

Let them come if they want; we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!

The words of the Illusion Ancestor clearly reminded the other ancestors, and the Light Ancestor prepared to attack again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Beihai's words silenced their murderous intent.

"Project Tianmen!"

The Sword Ancestor blurted out.

"How did you know?"

Guangzu, quick-witted, immediately reminded him.

"The Ancestor of the Sword!"

Perhaps Zhang Beihai only learned about this term by chance.

By asking that question, you're essentially admitting that such a thing exists.

That would mean something different.

However, Zhang Beihai clearly knew more than just one term.

"Originally, there were only two people missing. Wan Jianyi is a once-in-a-millennium genius who can use divine grace to allow him to skip the Divine Transformation stage and directly become an Ancestral Divine Transformation.

In other words, you're only one person away from being together.

After more than a thousand years of preparation, it's just one step away from completion.

Of the more than eighty divine transformations, at least one person is bound to enter the ancestral realm in the next few years.

However, Song Gua killed a Poison Ancestor, and even obliterated his soul.

Of course you hate him.

Of course, they would want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Do I need to say anything more?

It's not that Zhang Beihai didn't want to talk about it.

If I say all that, I'll have no more chips left.

Huan Zu shut up.

This is exactly what she asked for; she's afraid she'll hear something even more outrageous from Zhang Beihai's mouth.

Sword Ancestor appeared to be the most composed, representing the Five Ancestors to negotiate with Zhang Beihai.

"What are your demands?"

"Release Song Gua and send him to Mars."

"Can."

The war correspondent's surprised shot flashed by.

Is that all?

Global resistance, armies of professionals risking their lives, turning against the Celestials—none of this will work.

Can Zhang Beihai just say one sentence now?

Could this be the meaning of "stopping hostility with words"?

At that moment, in the eyes of people all over the world, it seemed as if a halo of holy light was hovering behind Zhang Beihai's head.

He's amazing!

"Release the bandits. If they want to go to Mars, let them go. If they stay on Earth, don't make things difficult for them."

"I can only promise that the Tenth Ancestor will not take action against the bandits. We have no say in the affairs of his subordinates, is that acceptable?"

"Yes. Also, those who resisted you today should not be prosecuted."

"Can."

"I'm going to Mars, and nothing can stop me."

The Sword Ancestor remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"I never expected that such a deeply entrenched Celestial Being spy like you would be hiding in the Federation."

Zhang Beihai offered no comment, only saying...

"The war is over, you can go back now."

"What if you breach the contract and insist on disclosing what you know?"

"You have no choice but to believe me."

The Sword Ancestor was speechless.

The Fifth Patriarch took one last look at the Song Gua, clearly unwilling to accept it.

But after looking at Zhang Beihai, whose gaze was firm and whose temperament was like a sword, he began to have second thoughts.

Clearly, at this moment, they believed that Song Gua posed less of a threat to them than Zhang Beihai.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, they withdrew.
