They must retreat to the north immediately!
Someone flipped Nikita over from the ground, but was so frightened by her terrifying and hideous appearance that they took several steps back.
Nikita once joked about Lee Yoon-cheol's disfigured cheek, but now her entire face is ruined.
She had previously planned to turn Qingchen into a specimen, but now she probably doesn't have that ability anymore.
The head of the Kamishiro family slowly got up from the ground, his ears filled with a piercing whirring sound. After the cochlea was violently impacted, his body suddenly lost its balance.
In a daze, he saw a young man come up to him, looking at him with a smile.
"Quickly, help me up," the head of the Kamishiro family said.
But the young Asian man remained unmoved.
A member of the kingdom called out to the young man from a distance, "Kamidai, what are you standing there for?"
The head of the Kamishiro family looked over in a daze: "Hmm?"
How dare someone so flippantly refer to themselves as 'the Age of Gods'?
wrong!
The word 'Gods' was not used to refer to himself, but rather to the young man in front of him.
The head of the Kamishiro family suddenly looked at the young man in front of him, only to see the young man laugh and say, "I know you've wanted to kill me for a long time. You even conducted a large-scale manhunt for me in City 20 before. But you have to understand one thing: your ancestor will always be your ancestor. You can't defeat him."
With that, the young man gave a gentle push, sending the head of the Kamishiro family flying off the edge of the deck.
The head of the Kamishiro family lost his balance and staggered backward, finally letting out a wail as he plummeted from a height of three thousand meters!
It was only then that the head of the Kamishiro family learned that his ancestor had not died in City 10, but was hiding in the Kingdom Organization's air fortress, using the code name 'Kamishiro'!
The young man, 'Kamidai', stood expressionless at the edge of the deck, silently watching below.
Today, the authority of the divine age has returned to his hands; it is time to go back.
He could see that the crows draped in black had arrived. They must have anticipated the casualties here, but were unable to reach the air fortress to contain them.
On the ground, March of the Forbidden Tribunal looked up at the sky and met the eyes of Shindai. Although they were far apart, March could not hide the disgust in her eyes.
Kamishiro Chika turned and walked onto the deck. He found a steerable airship and, taking advantage of the chaos, quickly left the aerial fortress and headed north towards the Kamishiro family.
With a thud, the head of the Kamishiro family smashed to pieces on the ground. Li Dongze, who was also dressed in black linen clothes in the group, groaned in disgust: "This way of dying is disgusting."
March calmly said, "They were disgusting when they were alive. April, hurry up and contain them, then evacuate. Containment work has been getting increasingly difficult lately, and the Otherworld may soon be completely covered by the Forbidden Land... This is not a good thing."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Dongze and said, "Next time you see your boss and junior boss, you must persuade them to prioritize the greater good of humanity and not be too concerned about the knights' personal interests."
Li Dongze shook his head: "I understand your position. The Forbidden Tribunal is indeed without personal interests, but I can't interfere in the boss's affairs. The same goes for that young boss. He has grown up, and even Kamishiro and Kashima have repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of him. What can I do?"
March frowned deeply: "Recently, the Forbidden Tribunal has been discussing a problem. We saw a giant named Gudu in a forbidden land. If we consider giants as human, the spread of the forbidden land may not lead to the extinction of all humanity, but rather the birth of a new generation of humans to continue the human race."
Li Dongze looked at March with surprise.
He knew that the Taboo Tribunal housed forbidden objects and extraordinary individuals because it feared that human civilization would be completely swallowed up by the forbidden lands, leading to genocide.
However, after meeting Gudu in March, she seemed to have a new idea.
The term "new humans" is one that the Taboo Inquisition is very interested in.
If the spread of forbidden lands is irreversible, then would it be a better choice to actively coexist with forbidden lands?
Li Dongze asked, "What are you going to do?"
March thought for a moment and said, "What do you think about building an artificial womb base in a forbidden land?"
Li Dongze sighed, "You always take extreme paths in order to ensure the survival of humanity."

...
At the Qing family's air force base, Qing Yu stood in front of the holographic sand table, looking at the troop deployment with a worried expression: "The Li family's Qingshan air fortress will take another three months to repair. The Scepter alone is not enough to stop overseas forces from moving south. In addition, there are the northern air forces of Shendai and Kashima... By the way, has the Secret Service sent back any intelligence? Has the Chen family made any unusual moves? The Secret Service is currently working slowly and the intelligence is delayed... It's too frivolous."
In the final battle of the Shadows, Qing Ji, Qing Yu, and Qing Kun were all powerful figures who pledged their allegiance to the family. Each of them either controlled an army, an important economic lifeline, or high-level martial arts and the family head's personal guards.
Although these veteran Qing clan elders kowtowed and pledged allegiance, they were still somewhat resentful. That's why Qing Yu hesitated when he received Qing Chen's request to evacuate.
Power has always been like this: you can't do whatever you want just because you sit on the dragon throne. Even emperors need to balance the power of various factions in order to achieve their goals, which shows the importance of the emperor's mindset.
For example, if some emperors in ancient times wanted to tour the Jiangnan region, whether or not you could go was up to the civil service group.
Now that Qingyu and the others have acknowledged Qingchen's legitimate status as crown prince, not everyone has to grovel before the crown prince. Qingyu is a pillar of the Qing family and naturally has his own pride.
Now that the battle is raging on the front lines, the work of the Secret Service in the rear has suddenly stalled. How could he not be furious? So it's understandable that he would take his anger out on Qing Chen, who is in charge of the Secret Service.
The operations staff officer standing nearby said, "Sir, Qingye said they would send back some important information before noon today, but they haven't said what it is yet."
Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Isn't this ridiculous? Intelligence is all about timeliness. No matter what the news is, it has to be transmitted in a timely manner. What is he waiting for? Is he planning to surprise me?!"
“I don’t know either, they won’t say,” the operations staff officer whispered.
However, at that moment, the chief of staff suddenly walked into the command tent with an LCD screen. He glanced around and said, "All officers below the rank of colonel, leave!"
Qingyu became serious; he knew this must be extremely important news.
After scattering everyone, anti-sonic and signal jamming systems were activated near the command tent.
The chief of staff said urgently, "The Secret Service has sent several important messages!"
"The Secret Service?" Qingyu was surprised; he had just been cursing the Secret Service.
The chief of staff said, "The first thing is that the new boss of the Secret Service discovered that the Chen family has sent troops and wants to use Forbidden Land No. 008 to wipe out the Fire Pit."
"What?" Qingyu raised his voice: "They're going to take advantage of our weakened rear and plant a spittle in our backside? When did this happen? Has the Secret Service gone mad? Why didn't they say something like this sooner!"
The chief of staff hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious. Here's the situation: Qing Chen... led several experts and wiped out an entire field brigade, a field regiment, and a Class A airship of the Chen family in Forbidden Land No. 008. He also caused Chen Yu to waste two paintings. Now that the fire pit has been moved, even if Chen Yu continues to go to the fire pit, he won't be able to kill anyone."
"Hiss," Qingyu felt a chill run down his spine: "When did this happen?"
“Just the day before yesterday,” the chief of staff said, “Now, let’s talk about the second thing. Last night, the Shadow Force attacked the Mindset Dojo and the residence of the head of the Kamishiro family in City 20, and even kidnapped two of their A-level experts, decimating the area.”
"Thirdly, according to reliable sources, their network in the north has confirmed that Qing Chen, the Shadow Force, and the Parents' Association have successfully severely damaged the Kingdom's air fortress. They are now climbing and retreating north at top speed. If nothing unexpected happens, the head of the Kamishiro family should be in trouble... Our reconnaissance plane has also returned, confirming that the Kingdom's air fortress has indeed left, still emitting black smoke..."
Qingyu stood there in a daze. He was an outstanding military commander. When he was commanding on the front line, he was also the "iron wall" that Jindai and Kashima had the most trouble with, commanding the army flawlessly.
But he just couldn't understand how Qingchen had managed to do all that.
That's so bizarre!
The Chen family in Forbidden Land No. 008, the God Era in City No. 20 in the North, and the Kingdom in the Frontline Sky Fortress—each of these locations is thousands, even tens of thousands of kilometers apart.
And Qing Chen actually managed to severely injure all three parties in just two days?! Even Shadow wasn't this fierce back then!
Qingyu murmured, "Is there any other news?"
The chief of staff said, "The last piece of news seems less important: Lee Yoon-cheol, the legal heir to the Kashima Group, was killed by Qing Chen..."
Qingyu stood in the command tent for a long time, stunned: "...Awesome!"
He had previously complained that the Secret Service was not doing its job properly, but now he realized that the Secret Service was no longer just an intelligence agency, but a complete war machine!
The Secret Service used to 'acquire' intelligence; now it's 'manufacturing' intelligence...
Qingyu asked, "Did the Secret Service say where Qing Chen is?"
The chief of staff shook his head: "They don't know either, and they've requested that this intelligence be classified as top secret."
Chapter 761, Taking a Leap
City No. 10.
"Brother Yunluo, where are we going?" Shendai Yunxiu was loading diesel fuel onto the pickup truck. He and Kongyu had changed into field training uniforms suitable for the wilderness, but Shendai Yunluo was still wearing a white hunting robe, looking ethereal.
Suddenly, Shindai Sora asked, "Brother Yunluo, wasn't your white hunting robe dirty yesterday? Why are you wearing a new one today?"
“Ah, you mean this?” Kamishiro Yunluo said with a smile, “I placed an order online 10 days ago and had a tailor shop in City 10 make a few more for me.”
"Ten days ago?" Kamishiro Unshu asked doubtfully, "Didn't you plan to leave City 20 when you returned last time?"
Kamishiro Sora seemed to be deep in thought. From the perspective of others, it was Qingchen who deliberately tricked Kamishiro Unra, making this Onmyoji master become a protector of the knight, and then causing him to be betrayed by everyone.
But if Shindai Yunluo ordered the hunting clothes here ten days ago, it means that she wasn't tricked into coming here, but deliberately pretended to be tricked so that Qingchen would owe her a favor.
Actually, I had planned to come here a long time ago!
"Brother Yunluo, you haven't told us where we're going yet?" Yunxiu asked.
“Let’s go to the southwest. I’ve heard the scenery there is beautiful and the hot pot is delicious,” Kamishiro Yunra replied.
"You're doing this because you know Qingchen is in the southwest, right?" Kamishiro Sora said helplessly.
"Get to work!"
Kamishiro Yunra stood by the car with his hands clasped together, showing no intention of helping. Kamishiro Yunxiu and Kamishiro Kujima were used to it; their older brother had always liked to make them do chores since they were little, while he himself never lifted a finger...
...
...
At dawn, 100 kilometers west of Forbidden Land No. 008, there was a small campsite in the southwestern wilderness.
The campfire in the camp was already very small, and white smoke was rising from the pile of firewood.
The dewdrops on the grass condensed and eventually dripped into the soil.
Qingchen finally woke up, and Da Yu, Zard, Chen Jiazhang and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "You're finally awake."
At this moment, Qingchen had several herbal patches applied to his body, and the bleeding had stopped.
Qingchen and his group had been out of the tunnel for six hours. The underground passage beneath the abyss led directly to the outside of the forbidden land.
But instead of getting up immediately, he called City 10 to inquire about the battle situation.
On the phone, Luo Wanya reported everything that had happened last night in great detail.
After a moment's thought, Qing Chen replied, "Having suffered such a great loss, the Kingdom Organization should be hesitant to use the Key Gate again for the time being. Lao Luo, the next period is our time to lie low and develop. Don't miss this golden opportunity, or we'll fall behind in every step. By the way, tell Scientist Number 2 that he doesn't need to perform gene sequencing on my blood anymore. I've obtained the true blood of the gods. When I return next time, I'll have Zard and Da Yu bring it to Whale Island, and then you can hand it over to him."
Luo laughed and said, "Received. Scientist No. 2 has been so busy lately that he's going bald. If he hears this news, he'll probably be happy."
Qing Chen did not answer: "Is there anything else?"
"Boss, you want to build nanorobots. The nanorobot research experts say that their current research is not very useful because the core production technology is in the hands of the conglomerate. If we want to produce this thing, it will take two hundred years just to build the nanoscale equipment, and we will barely be able to catch up with the conglomerate's pace."
