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

Smoke filled the air, and the earth trembled.

Although the fog has lifted, the shadow of war still lingers over the earth.

This beautiful blue planet, the third planet in our solar system, has been like a meat grinder for the past few months.

They relentlessly harvest the crops from the intelligent life forms that have lived here for generations.

After the Celestial Mech Legion, spearheaded by Miss Butterfly and Yue Sheng, officially entered the war.

The rebel alliance quickly recovered the entire Huaxia region.

The people of Huaxia District were not loyal to the Federation to begin with, and the order of regional governance was restored very quickly, with everyone cooperating with the management of the uprising alliance.

Although there were very few people in the rebel alliance who understood politics and state management.

However, there are many people in the heavens.

With their guidance, restoring social order is not a problem.

In this land ravaged by war, in the ancient city of Shangjing.

The Song hexagram raised a flag symbolizing the totem of Chinese civilization.

"There is no longer a 'China Region,' only 'China'!"

The rebel alliance supported Song Gua as the founding emperor.

Song Gua did not make any further excuses.

Now is a time of war, a transitional phase from alliance to nation, and indeed, a person who can keep things in check is needed.

Within the entire alliance, only Zero and Song Gua have reached the combat power of an ancestral god transformation, so naturally only the two of them can serve as the national ancestor.

Zero had no interest in the nation or anything like that; he only wanted to fulfill the historical mission of the resistance.

Afterwards, Song Gua gave this special armed force of bandits an official designation—the Imperial Guard!

The name is naturally a reference to the imperial guards of ancient times.

However, for a long time afterward, people still habitually referred to them as bandits.

After some time, the official government of the Southern Water Kingdom immediately announced the abolition of its national system, downgrading it to a province and placing it under the jurisdiction of China.

Cities in China, such as Yunshan, Jiangnan, and Xichuan, followed suit.

The combined forces of the Nanshui bandits marched north, incorporating their forces along the way.

After reaching Shangjing, they had an army of 300,000.

However, due to the massacre by the Twelve Patriarchs, only 100,000 remain today.

These 100,000 people are all elites among elites.

They were reorganized and officially designated as the Southern Army.

Qi Xuan will temporarily serve as the commander of the Southern Army, and Ye Chen will be the general in charge of the army.

Although Ye Chen is young, the hardships and battles he has experienced along the way are enough for him to stand on his own.

In the face of such intense warfare, age and seniority are no longer the criteria for promotion; the ability to kill the enemy is the only standard.

The resistance originally numbered 300,000 worldwide, including its peripheral members.

After continuous warfare, they still have 200,000 people.

The resistance was reorganized and officially designated as the Northern Army within China.

The "north" here doesn't have any special meaning; it's just a symmetrical reference to the "southern army."

Da Congming said that they should be designated as the Anti-Army, which would suit their background.

However, this was met with unanimous opposition from the resistance forces.

Yun Yang, Chi Niu, and others said that the designation "Anti-Army" was too ambiguous and might confuse future generations when they looked at history, so it would be better to just choose a random name.

Let's just set it to the north.

The Night Owl Thieves, the Xuanwu Pavilion, and other rebel organizations that were previously on the wanted list, as well as various regional uprisings and forces, all combined now number a million.

This million-strong force was designated as the Righteous Army.

The rebel army, consisting of 100,000 men, was divided into several armies, including the First Army, the Second Army, and the Third Army.

The mech legion that returned from Mars is now completely subordinate to the Chinese nation on Earth.

These 500,000 special professionals and mecha combinations were designated as the Sky Army.

Members of the Heavenly Army often jokingly refer to themselves as heavenly soldiers and generals.

There is still some dispute between the Celestials and the Chinese nation regarding the ownership of the Heavenly Army.

It's true that the people are from China, but the mechs they use, the resources they acquire, and even the warships currently used to dock and maintain the mechs all belong to the celestial beings.

The celestial beings believed that the Celestial Army belonged to Mars.

Song Gua responded that he would consider it as borrowing money from the heavenly beings to ask them to build these mechs, and that the usual maintenance fees and "parking fees" would be converted into currency so that he could repay the money later.

However, on the other hand...

He is Zhou Tak's son.

Zhou Tak has the right to consume everything for free on Mars.

Therefore, it can be assumed that Zhou Tak bought this batch of mechs and maintenance services.

Therefore, it's free.

The celestial beings could not argue with the Song hexagram and had to give up for the time being.

The Imperial Guard, the Southern Army, the Northern Army, the Righteous Army, and the Heavenly Army—these five legions are the core forces of the Huaxia Kingdom.

In addition to these, there is an even larger Allied force whose numbers are constantly increasing.

These people are the professionals that the insurgent alliance has rescued along the way since the start of the war.

—Including the five major legions, there are no life skills among them.

The Allied forces are a group that can be disbanded at any time; they are not dedicated to combat.

However, we are now in a time of war, and everyone has to participate in the war, which is why the Allied forces have such a terrifying scale of hundreds of millions.

When the war ends, if they are still alive, they will naturally disband and go back to their own lives.

The five legions will never be disbanded, and their designations will continue indefinitely.

The complicated matters surrounding the founding of the nation took several weeks to handle.

In the dilapidated administrative building of Shangjing City, there are Song Gua, Zero, Yun Yang, Yue Sheng, Miss Butterfly, Ye Chen, Qi Xuan, Yu Jie, Night Owl (code name), the Master of Xuanwu Pavilion, officers above the division commander level of the five major legions, and so on.

Inside the venue, these hundreds of people were the core high-ranking officials of the rising China on Earth.

"The Twelfth Patriarch has begun a new plan."

Song Gua, seated in a high position, addressed the high-ranking officials present.

Zero was sitting to the left of Song Gua.

"Was this information provided by an inside source again?"

"Yes, that tallest center."

"What is the Twelfth Patriarch going to do this time?"

"Their goal remains the same as before: to enter a higher-dimensional world, but they have changed their approach."

"What should we do this time?"

"The inside information is unclear."

Zero frowned slightly.

"The frontal war, the land-stealing plan, the resource war, and the encirclement and reinforcement plan have all failed. The Twelve Ancestors have not given up their goal yet. I wonder how many more people will be killed by this latest scheme."

Red Bull stood up, shook his rooster-like hair, and burst into laughter.

"No problem, no problem! Our China now boasts five powerful legions! They're in high spirits and have forced the Federation to defend only the American continent. No need to back down! With our massive army pressing in, we'll just sweep them all away!"

Upon hearing this, Cailong glared at Chiniu.

"The reason our battle went smoothly is because the enemy only deployed their Divine Transformation. Apart from the time in Shangjing City, the Twelve Ancestors hardly made a move. If they really wanted to fight to the death, the destruction of our newly established nation would only be a matter of time."

"Hey! Rainbow Dragon, how can you side with outsiders?"

Song Gua interrupted their argument.

"Cailong is right. The Twelve Ancestors are the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads. The reason we have been able to fight to this point is largely because the Twelve Ancestors have never wanted to give up the Heavenly Pillar Project, fearing that if they take action, they will run out of people."

Ye Chen, dressed in professional gear, his armor gleaming, frowned as he spoke.

"The Federation's army has lost so badly, and the Song Emperor has killed more than a dozen of the Divine Transformers. Why don't the Twelve Ancestors want to give up the Heavenly Pillar Project? Isn't it obvious that it's impossible to succeed unless they are ruthless and massacre people? But if they do that, they won't have enough people."

Song Guadao.

"There's only one reason: abandoning the Heavenly Pillar Project would require paying a price they're unwilling to pay, so they won't use it until the very last moment."
