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

Earth.

The original Americas, now the collapsed Americas Ocean.

Over the sky.

Zero stands side by side with the original Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Resistance, now the Twelve Generals of the Northern Army.

On the sea level, the remaining slivers of sky not yet shrouded by the higher-dimensional cracks cast the afterglow of the setting sun.

On the rippling blue sea, the light shimmered like gold.

The thirteen people in group Zero watched the sunset, their hearts filled with countless emotions.

"I never imagined that even after the Twelve Ancestors were defeated, we would still be able to watch the sunset here."

Red Ox laughed heartily.

"Thanks to Song Gua! That good-for-nothing, he didn't even give the Twelve Ancestors a chance to build the Heavenly Pillar! He saved our lives!"

Yunyang looked up at the sky.

"However, the danger to life on Earth has not been eliminated. If Song Gua cannot close the dimensional rift, what awaits the entire world is still a hopeless end."

At this point, Zero looked at Wild Chicken.

"How's the battle going?"

Wild Chicken's Spiritual Path includes abilities similar to clairvoyance, allowing him to see scenes in space from Earth.

"Song Gua is currently fighting the Illusionist Sword Immortal. The situation is not good. Song Gua's dark artifacts are not effective against the Sword Immortal. Now, the bandits are lining up to self-destruct, but it is having little effect."

Cai Long frowned and clenched his fists.

"The Drunken Sword Immortal? This guy has been hiding for so long, waiting for this moment!"

Zero drew a circle and put it on the wild chicken.

The images that Huangji saw were projected outwards; he acted like a projector, displaying the images of space to everyone.

"How can the Sword Immortal be so powerful?"

"An S-rank illusionist should only be able to reach the half-step Limitless realm at most, but the Drunken Sword Immortal's performance is comparable to the peak of Limitless!"

"Even if he has merged with the mythical illusionist and absorbed some kind of immortal power, this performance is still a bit exaggerated."

"There must be some other reason..."

Zero seemed to have thought of something and started drawing circles repeatedly.

His abilities are so strange; all his "skills" are presented through circles.

The circles from Zero flew onto the screen projected by the Wild Chicken.

Suddenly, the scene looked like it had been X-rayed; the colors became monotonous, but more content became visible.

The traces of each sword aura emanating from the Sword Immortal.

The route of the source energy flow every time Song Gua uses a skill.

And all energy fluctuations invisible to the naked eye.

Zero felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the dense, wispy energy lines behind the Sword Immortal, making his back look like a hedgehog.

"Wild Chicken, look at Earth from behind the Drunken Sword Immortal."

The wild chicken did as instructed.

In the scene, the "threads" behind the Sword Immortal that provide him with energy also move downwards as the scene moves downwards.

They rose up from Earth!

Furthermore, it gradually split into twelve branches, originating from twelve different places on Earth!

By meticulously piecing together clues and following the clues, the wild chicken gradually confirmed the precise locations of the twelve sites.

Yunshan City!

Jiangnan City!

Nishikawa City!

Peanutton City...

This is the place where the Twelve Ancestors built the Twelve Heavenly Pillars!

"Friends, I'm afraid our mission is not yet complete..."

After saying that, Zero drew a circle of light, connecting Yunshan City.

Zero flew in first, and Yun Yang, Chi Niu, and the others followed without hesitation.

The successive natural and man-made disasters have left Yunshan City unrecognizable and devastated.

This place is no longer suitable for living; the refugees have been moved elsewhere.

All that remains is the sound of the morning wind blowing through the gaps in the ruins, carrying a chilling cold.

Zero and the others arrived here.

"Buzz—"

Amidst this vast expanse of ruins, a glowing red six-pointed star is slowly rotating.

The six-pointed star was so large that it covered most of Yunshan City.

Above the six-pointed star, invisible energy is constantly being sent into space and converging on the Sword Immortal.

"This is it."

"Why here?"

"It's definitely not a coincidence."

Yun Yang raised his folding fan and wrote the character "解" (meaning "solve") in mid-air.

But then the character "解" transformed into a faint white firefly light, connecting with a certain spot in the ruins beneath the six-pointed star.

Red Bull simply picked up the cannon barrel.

"Let's see what's hidden inside!"

Red Bull opened fire immediately.

With a loud bang, the suspicious spot that Yun Yang had discovered was blasted into a charred crater by Chi Niu.

Wait for the smoke and dust to settle.

Everyone saw a huge golden heart on the ground, beating "thump thump thump".

The Twelve Heavenly Kings were astonished.

"The seed of life?!"

"Whose?"

"Golden in color, with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters, it should be an Ancestral-level Divine Transformation!"

"The Twelfth Patriarch actually had this trick up his sleeve."

"They've even invested their own life seeds; this time, they won't give up until they succeed."

"I never expected that the Drunken Sword Immortal and the Twelve Ancestors would have this kind of cooperation."

Zero's speculation.

This may be the last move that the Twelve Ancestors and the Drunken Sword Immortal left for each other.

Although the Twelve Patriarchs looked down on Earthlings.

But they are still cautious in their actions, and they have considered all possibilities.

This includes after their physical and spiritual bodies are completely destroyed.

Although the Drunken Sword Immortal couldn't defeat the Twelve Ancestors, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

Unable to capture him, the Twelve Ancestors devised this plan in case the Heaven-Opening Formation also failed, so that the Drunken Sword Immortal could continue the fight in their place.

It's just unclear how the two sides reached an agreement.

After all, the Drunken Sword Immortal had no intention of handing over his life essence; he wanted to use it himself.

"We have to destroy this place, otherwise Song Gua won't be able to defeat the Drunken Sword Immortal. With the continuous dimensional reduction of higher-dimensional matter, a large one could appear at any time and submerge the Earth."

Zero and Yunyang and the others launched an attack.

This enormous golden heart, as if cast from bronze and iron, was unbreakable.

Moreover, the surface is covered with an energy shield, making it completely impervious to oil and salt.

however.

Although all kinds of attacks and spiritual illusions were ineffective, Zero and the Twelve Heavenly Kings did not show any anxiety or panic on their faces. On the contrary, they became more and more calm, and even showed a hint of determination.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

A clone, hiding in the ruins and responsible for the teleportation anchor point in this area, poked its head out from the pile of garbage, covered in dust.

He was awakened by the noise from Zero and the others attacking the Twelve Ancestors' Life Seeds.

Zero glanced at him and smiled.

"We need to solve this problem for the Song hexagram."

Yun Yang wrote the character "事" (thing) and attributed it to his clone, who immediately understood the cause and effect.

Since the clone knew, Song Gua naturally knew as well.

In space, Song Gua angrily rebuked the Drunken Sword Immortal.

"Bah! Sword Immortal! You actually cooperated with the shameless Twelve Ancestors! You used their life seeds and evil formations to gain power! Do you even deserve to call yourself an 'immortal'?"

The Sword Immortal snorted coldly.

"Look at your tentacles and your deformed body. Do you, who wield the power of the Dark Star, even deserve to be called a 'hero'?"

"Hahaha! Who says I'm a hero? I'm a bandit! I'm a bandit!"

"Then who called me an 'immortal'? So what if I become a 'demon' to revive my homeland!"
