Arctic Circle.

“Report, the number of spatial channels within our nation has increased...” “Spatial channels in the other half of the globe have massively reduced...” The command center was once again thrown into chaos.

All satellite images monitoring the other half of the globe showed dense swarms of bugs and dinosaurs. There were no survivors, no resistors.

Without dawn stones to buffer and block these bugs, the disaster occurred.

Within just two weeks of the disaster, the other half of the globe fell entirely.

Yao Zhenguo said, “Gone?”

Li Mingzhi added, “Not only are they gone, but aside from us, every other place is gone, too.”

Other places which didn’t have dawn stones didn’t stand a chance. After two weeks, they all failed to change their fate and fell to the insect horde.

Yao Zhenguo was left agape, finding it hard to believe. He hadn’t cared about these places for only a few days, and they’d been wiped out?

Were they so fragile?!?

Li Mingzhi sighed, helplessly saying, “No one expected it, thinking they could offer some resistance, but they really are gone. Aside from us, people from other places are almost all...”

Just then, a guard rushed in.

“Report to the leader, the other groups of apes from the Arctic Circle have all come this way...”

Yao Zhenguo quickly reacted, turning to ask Li Mingzhi, “How many were there in other regions of the Arctic Circle in the beginning? What kind of force did they bring with them?”

“There were about twenty or so forces that made it to the Arctic Circle, adding up to around one million people...”

“So few?” This time, Yao Zhenguo was surprised. He never liked interfering in others’ internal affairs, and didn’t pay much attention to what happens outside, but he didn’t expect so few people from other regions to come.

Li Mingzhi shook his head, saying, “Some areas seem powerful, but in reality, they are simply paper planes, fake models, shown up after the disaster. They actually don’t have that many aircraft for transportation...”

Yao Zhenguo knew that quite a few neighbors purposefully placed a barrage of plastic fake planes and tanks under their satellite surveillance to show off, he hadn’t anticipated there would be so many.

Li Mingzhi continued: “Also, um well, how should I put it? The over one million who came to the Arctic Circle, about eighty percent have frozen to death!”

“What?”

Yao Zhenguo blurted out, staring at him in shock.

This kind of speech was so casual, it sounded like nonsense, but the one speaking was Li Mingzhi, the Grand Supervisor of Hua Nation. He was not someone who blurted out words without thinking.

Yao Zhenguo cleared his understanding, rubbed his temples, and asked slowly,

“How did so many people, over a million, freeze to death?”

Li Mingzhi revealed a meaningful expression, explaining complexly, “The forces that arrived at the Arctic Circle, aside from us, were around one million people. An average of more than 50,000 per group. They were basically authority figures with just a few guards.”

“The funniest part is, they barely brought any supplies with them...”

Yao Zhenguo was stunned, retorting, “That’s impossible. These forces don’t have that few aircraft, theoretically, transporting about four to five million people should be enough...”

Li Mingzhi, dejected, said, “Until disaster strikes, you’ll never understand how much of a backstabber some apes in human clothing can be...”

“Those guys, they didn’t inform the public as soon as the disaster happened... Probably because they were afraid of the chaos causing them difficulties in escaping... Essentially, only the authority figures escaped to the Arctic Circle, and the most hilarious part is, most of the things they brought with them were gold and valuable jewelry...”

“The planes they flew to the Arctic Circle totalled more than two thousand, but most of these planes were loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, famous paintings, and fine wines...”

Yao Zhenguo frowned, “What were they thinking, bringing all these things to the Arctic Circle?”

Li Mingzhi smiled, “They fancied themselves clever, intending to use these things to exchange for food and labor from us...”

“At the beginning, indeed, a few of our soldiers and civilians were tempted by the gold and worked for them, making them some ice warehouses... But after a day or two, people began to calm down. After understanding the concept that everyone is equal in the face of disaster, no one was willing to work hard to earn useless things...”

“Moreover, if it weren’t for our humanitarian support, even more of them would have died...”

Listening to this reality, which couldn’t even be written into a novel, Yao Zhenguo fell silent.

After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, “If I weren’t the highest leader, I would have suspected whether this disaster was created by me, a plan to eliminate other primitive apes...”

Li Mingzhi laughed, “Old Yao, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Others from the Arctic Circle are currently operating on a conspiracy theory and collectively coming over, trying to demand justice from us... In their words, this disaster was created by us, referred to as the fucking disaster, and they want us to compensate them...”

Once more, Yao Zhenguo fell silent. After a few seconds, he said, “I might have been overestimating them all along... These people, who can’t even see the situation clearly, let’s not talk about the situation of each base – just looking at the Arctic Circle, we have a population of three million, whereas they, having combined the power of over twenty forces, don’t even sum up to two hundred thousand. How do they dare to behave like this when the strength of both sides is unbalanced?”

Li Mingzhi laughed, “Indeed, it’s very similar to the previous situation of being enemies with the world. They believe that we are slaves, subhumans, and dare not resist... They think we’re still kneeling!”

Just then, another guard came rushing in, reporting, “Commander, it’s bad, they’ve mobilized, they’ve begun attacking our troops and civilians, looting their possessions... quite a number of civilians have already died...”

Yao Zhenguo and Li Mingzhi exchanged a glance, slowly speaking: “I believe, it is preferable for there to be only one color in the Arctic Circle. Mingzhi, what do you think?”

Li Mingzhi chuckled, “Commander, my name is Li ‘Light-will’, need I say more... Give the order!”

Not long after the guard left, a group of royal advisers came running in flustered.

“Old Yao, there’s a major chaos outside!”

Yao Zhenguo chuckled, calmly saying, “Keep calm!”

The royal advisers suddenly took a gasp, understanding that this was Old Yao’s command.

One of the white-haired old men frowned, stating, “What you’re doing is slaughtering, exterminating, inhumane!”

Yao Zhenguo lightly replied, “I’m simply defending my people!”

He glanced meaningfully at the old man and chuckled, “It’s done then, let’s get rid of the traitors as well, it’s only you left, it’s useless keeping you...”

The old man was shocked but his face showed no expression, “Traitor? Who are you referring to?”

“I’m referring to you!”

Yao Zhenguo chuckled lightly, “Tang Zhong, among all the royal advisers, you always advocate for peace. When the enemy invades our land, you advocate for peace. When the enemy harms our people, you advocate for peace...”

The one called Tang Zhong immediately became incensed, “Nonsense! I was planning for the long term...”

Li Mingzhi joined in the laughter, “Tang Zhong, stop pretending. We’ve long collected evidence of you secretly contacting the enemy. We kept you for two reasons. On one hand, to stabilize them. On the other hand, to have you deliver false information...”Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

“You think we actually listened to your decisions regarding the enemy?” “You thought it was because of your age and seniority?

The ones truly planning for the long term were Yao Zhenguo and his people!

Not just Tang Zhong, but the other royal advisers also wore faces of surprise.

Obviously, even they didn’t know. This was a decision Yao Zhenguo and Li Mingzhi had made.

“Bring in someone, and take this number one traitor out for execution!”

“Wrongfully accused!”

In this way, the royal adviser was dragged out of the meeting hall.

“Execution?” Li Mingzhi asked with a puzzled look.

Yao Zhenguo laughed, “Tang Zhong is superstitious, he believes in ghosts and gods. In his belief, a corpse must be intact for reincarnation to occur.

Beheading represents eternal damnation...”

At this moment, Li Mingzhi thought of a term—killing one to warn the others!

However, he was fond of this idea!

Yao Zhenguo looked at the confused royal advisers below and calmly said, “I know some of you were quite close with Tang Zhong...” “But it’s all right, I believe you were all misguided...”

“From today onward, it’s unimportant, only us remain here...”

He chose to let these people go due to two reasons. First, they had not directly been in touch with the West, but merely believed in Tang Zhong’s long-term plans; hence, their crimes were not capital offenses. Second, they were smart and could still serve the nation.

The royal advisers below were all glancing at each other, unsure of how to respond in this situation. “Mingzhi, I feel relieved!”

“So do I!”

“I never thought it would be carried out in this way!”

“Enough said, I’m afraid the aliens might be listening, who knows if they’ve tapped into global surveillance...”

The hunt on the evening of July 21st went even smoother than the previous day, as there was no need for him to search for spatial channels, he could simply fly directly there.

Moreover, the spatial channels became even more concentrated. Where before there were only one or two channels every few hundred kilometers, now there were over a dozen in the same area.

Over the course of the night, he harvested a total of 66 Yellow Crystals, spending most of his time traveling.

Upon returning to the Nanyuan Base, instead of sleeping as usual, he sat cross-legged at home, pondering over the matter of Ming Yuwei in his mind.

From Ming Yuwei’s case, he was able to draw a conclusion: Evil gods had set their sights on him. First it was the Dark God, now it was the God of Light. With this, he also began contemplating what he had, and how he would respond if he ever encountered an evil god in the future.

He was a Ancient God, he had power, and it only took ten thousand Source Energies to increase his height by one meter. Every time he did so, his strength would increase.

After deep contemplation, Du Gang decided to hide some of his true strength for the time being.

Transforming didn’t have to mean maximizing his form. For instance, although he had reached the 145 -meter level, he could choose to transform into a 100-meter or 50-meter figure. As long as he didn’t exceed the 145 -meter level, he had free rein over his transformation.

“For now, I’ll reveal that I’m at the 145-meter level, pretend to be bottlenecked, then collect as much Red Crystal as possible to enhance my strength...”

He understood that he was destined to challenge the evil gods of different worlds in the future. When that time came, even if he had to bite, he would bite off a chunk of their flesh.

Once he had figured this out, he surrendered himself to deep sleep. On the afternoon of July 22nd, when he woke up, the envoys from the other bases had already arrived.

“War God, there were several times more spatial channels yesterday, don’t know if you...”

These envoys had brought a lot more Red Crystals, hoping to trade more.

Du Gang glanced at them, there were a few more people than before, a total of twenty envoys, indicating that twenty bases were willing to trade with him.

He nodded, “Three Yellow Crystals per base. Do you have enough Red Crystals?”

“Enough, enough-!”

All the envoys present were overjoyed by the response and quickly agreed.

Each of them brought around a hundred thousand Red Crystals, hoping Du Gang might have hunted more dinosaurs. To their delight, their expectations turned out to be correct.

Soon, he had exchanged with everyone. 60 Yellow Crystals were traded for 600,000 Red Crystals.

After they had left, Wang Dezhen also sent someone to deliver the overdue hundred thousand Red Crystals.

With this, Du Gang now possessed a total of 700,000 Red Crystals. “Du Gang, I was wondering if you might have a few extra Yellow Crystals on hand...”

Wang Dezhen did not leave after handing over the Red Crystals, instead he looked at him with a longing gaze.

After the apocalypse, Nanyuan Base can be said to be the most famous among all the survivor bases, because the War God was there!

In such a situation, some people are always unhappy.

No one stood out, all of them kept silent, wanting to see how the people from Nanyuan Base would respond.

The King Kong King’s expression turned cold, and said calmly: “King Kong

King, one of the Eight Kings of Nanyuan, Yellow Grade Fourth Rank!” “Shadow King, one of the Eight Kings of Nanyuan, Yellow Grade Fourth Rank!” “Gun King, one of the Eight Kings of Nanyuan, Yellow Grade Fourth Rank!”

The three Yellow Grade Fourth Rank powerhouses instantly shocked everyone.

It should be noted that only a minority of the bases on the scene, who had traded with Du Gang, had Yellow Grade fighters. Most people were just at the peak of the Orange Grade.

Du Gang glanced at the man who was challenging them in front of him, and said with a smile, “The Yellow Crystal you used for your promotion should have been traded from your base by me...”

The man’s face immediately froze. Before he could say anything, Du Gang said lightly, “Du Gang, also known as the War God. If I make a move, none of you here will survive.”

His tone was calm, but the words he said were extremely domineering.

A wave of kingly aura spread out with it.

Everyone present fell silent.

Some recognized Du Gang’s strength, while others hadn’t seen him in person and only heard rumors about him, so they didn’t believe in his capabilities.

But at this moment, these people all fell silent.

Who dares to say in front of the most outstanding and strongest group of people in the country that he alone can defeat them all?

At least, the man who was challenging Du Gang didn’t dare!

He stepped aside, and said, “War God, you’re boasting highly of yourself. We are here with a mission. Let’s put any match aside for now. However, I hope you can play your role in the upcoming battle and let me see if you really are that capable.”

He was quite polite. He usually looked down on others. If it weren’t for Du Gang’s fame, he would really like to experience it firsthand.

“Alright, everyone, I don’t want to argue with you anymore. You’ll see my strength in due time. For now, let’s focus on the mission. Let’s get moving!”

As Du Gang stepped down, no one else dared to challenge him openly. They all nodded and started to move.

In total, over forty bases joined together, and over five hundred superpowered individuals at this moment all started running in silence.

Inside South Harbour City.

Ming Yuwei felt uneasy since noon. Her eyelids twitched fiercely, and she felt a vague sense of impending disaster.

“What’s wrong? Will the beetles break the defense line?”

Thinking of this, she quickly ordered her subordinate to prepare another set of offerings for the divine consultation.

Getting into the secret room, after a series of devout prayers, the black fog representing the God of Light appeared again.

“Thank you for the coming of the God of light...”

“My God, I have a premonition of some kind of danger...”

Inside the moon, Nalan Hongwen curled his lips, ” I am not a fortune teller! How should I know?!!”

Of course, he didn’t say that, but he pacified, “My servant, I shall protect you...

The ritual ended, yet Nalan Hongwen furrowed his brow.

Powerful people who were at the Rainbow Blue level or Purple level could feel certain dangers beforehand.

But how could Ming Yuwei, who was only at the Rainbow Yellow level, sense anything?

“That’s wrong. If she was panicked enough to seek my help, the help of a God, this means the premonition must be strong, she must truly be in danger!”

Nalan Hongwen quickly surmised that Ming Yuwei might be in danger, but when he wanted to do something, he realized he couldn’t do anything!

He couldn’t monitor Earth!

He couldn’t learn about the situation outside!

“Life Detection!”

He suddenly recalled the low-quality detection equipment built into the incubator and quickly activated it.

“Oh, damn!”

After intensive study, he finally deciphered that there was a large cluster of life forms outside South Harbour City, rapidly moving towards it.

“Holy crap, is someone trying to take Ming Yuwei down?”

Nalan Hongwen was befuddled, he didn’t understand why so many people were after this woman who seemed harmless.

‘What should I do?”

In an instant, he considered countless possibilities.

Abandon Ming Yuwei? This idea was immediately dismissed the moment it appeared. This woman was a part of his plan to seize power, he couldn’t give her up.

Take a spaceship there?

NO!

He shook his head. Planets that host living beings like this original planet, the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association would typically leave corresponding sensors.

Once his alien spaceship enters, people from the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association will definitely find out!

“Damn it, it would be so much easier if it was a decade or two in the future!”

The solar system was only ten light-years away from falling into the Realm of Silence. At its current speed of 230 kilometers per second, it would only take a decade or two to enter. Who would then care about the life or death of the original planet’s inhabitants?

The main reason he dared to plot against Earth under the nose of the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association was that the solar system was located in this piece of wasteland.

“Should I take the risk and go there?”

He shook his head again, he couldn’t take the risk.

Staying on the moon and planning slowly, he might have five years. But if he directly flies over in a spaceship, he might be dead the next second.

You should know that the spaceships owned by the Cosmic Civilization Association were much more advanced than his.

After racking his brain, he finally ended up dialing his mother’s number. Soon, the beautiful young woman from before appeared again.

“Can you get me another Possession Transponder?”

Nalan Yanran frowned, “What do you mean, you used up the one I gave you before?”

Nalan Hongwen replied bitterly, “Not yet, but soon!” He quickly explained the situation Ming Yuwei was facing.

“Can’t you just find another woman...”

“No, this woman fulfills the requirements for the possession plan... it will be hard to find another one as perfectly suited as her...”

Nalan Yanran fell silent.

She was not supportive of this possession plan.

Surely, this kind of information from an unknown advanced civilization would carry other intents, and one might not end up in a good state once involved.

But she had no choice since Nalan Hongwen was her son, and there was no other way!

Nalan Yanran pondered for a moment before speaking slowly: “I understand, I’ll find a way to get it for you... I hope you can be faster, I have already mobilized a huge amount of funds from two planets, if this operation is exposed, not only you will die, but I’ll also face severe punishment...”

If Nalan Hongwen could successfully advance to Meteorite Level before his death, then her secret misappropriation of the family’s vast funds from two planets wouldn’t be a problem.

Meteorite Level, in the endless starry sky, was insignificant, just the first step into the cosmic world.

But in this barren star field, Meteorite Level was a symbol of power, and each one was a being capable of dominating a planet!

Du Gang and others were swiftly moving through the dense forest. Every individual in the group was at least at the peak of the Orange Level, all were battle-ready superpowered individuals.

They chose to ignore the numerous Black Beetles beneath their feet, swiftly passing over them.

Only occasionally did they slightly dodge the projectile attacks of the appearing Golden Beetles.

Soon, before nightfall, they successfully arrived at the outskirts of South Harbour City.

Shadow King stepped forward and said softly, “Those with stealth abilities, come with me, take out the patrolling guards, others wait... the sound of a cuckoo bird is the signal...”

He quickly led a few dozen superpowered individuals capable of hiding themselves, quietly entering South Harbour City.

The guards here were not many, and they were more like surveillance agents, tasked with monitoring the movements of the beetles.

The people here never expected an invasion by their own kind. Even though they had done many inhuman, inhumane things, they never thought they would be attacked.

In their eyes, at the end of the world, everyone was too busy trying to survive. No one could cross such a distance to attack a powerful base of power.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

A series of throat-slicing sounds echoed, and all the guards on the outskirts of South Harbour City were successfully taken down.

Shadow King looked at a similar to a scorched sausage-shaped object in one of the guard rooms and couldn’t help but frown.

“Cuckoo, cuckoo!”

Without wasting any time, he quickly informed the superpowered individuals outside.

Soon, the superpowered individuals hiding in the forest also arrived. “That palace ahead is where Ming Yuwei lives. God of War will handle that, the rest of us will take down all the stubborn elements within the city...” Soon, everyone divided into several groups and left in different directions.

Only Du Gang was left, moving alone towards the palace.

It was almost night, and there was hardly anyone on the streets of the city. Most residents were at home.

Even without turning into a giant, Du Gang was still very strong. He quickly climbed to the roof of the palace in just a few seconds.

He lifted a tile and looked inside. There was a golden throne adorned in gold decorations. but the palace was empty.

He glanced around, quickly spotting a palace in the distance that was still lit.

“Tap!”

Du Gang gently jumped back to the ground and quietly approached the lit palace in the distance.

Upon arrival, he extended his index finger and gently poked a hole in the paper window, squinting one eye and bringing the other up close.

At this moment, he terribly missed the days when Chu Zixuan was by his side. If he still had mental power for detection, he wouldn’t need to sneak around to find things out.

“Who’s there?”

Before Du Gang could see the situation inside clearly, a stern voice rang out..
