Just destroyed the Divine Court and now on another business trip? Ancient ruins have been discovered, forcing Advisor Lin to work 996!

The dedicated aerial passage of Tianshu Base can connect directly to the supreme headquarters located in the heart of Dragon Xia Kingdom.

After a flight of just over ten minutes, a massive aerial fortress, even more magnificent than the Holy City of Avalon and filled with both classical Eastern charm and futuristic technology, appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

Countless ribbons of light, like giant dragons, shuttled through the clouds, eventually converging into the core of the fortress to provide it with a constant stream of terrifying energy.

This was the military and power hub of the entire Dragon Xia Kingdom.

Shi Potian walked in front, his expression solemn, taking every step with caution.

As for Lin Yuan, he was still in that sleepy state, his hands in his pockets, following lazily behind while looking around as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

Su Li followed quietly by his side.

Watching the headquarters personnel in Advanced military uniforms hurrying by and feeling the tense, oppressive atmosphere in the air, her heart could not help but tighten.

Soon, under Shi Potian's guidance, the three of them arrived before a giant door crafted from an unknown metal and carved with complex dragon patterns.

At the entrance stood two rows of guards holding energy halberds and wearing dark golden dragon-scale armor; every single one of them exuded the powerful aura of the Huagang Realm!

At the Longxia headquarters, even the gatekeepers were powerhouses capable of dominating a region in the outside world!

"Commander Shi, the lords have been waiting for a long time." The captain of the guard saluted Shi Potian respectfully and pressed the switch beside the door.

"Hum—" The heavy dragon-patterned giant door slid silently to the sides.

Behind the door was a huge circular conference room.

In the center of the conference room was a massive black round table.

At this moment, the round table was already filled with people.

Every single one of them was a top big shot whose stamp of a foot could make the entire Dragon Xia Kingdom tremble!

Wearing crimson battle armor, with a physique as burly as a mountain. Just sitting there, he was like a scorching sun, a Blazing Sun Martial God that no one dared to look at directly!

Dressed in white, carrying a long sword on his back, eyes slightly closed. The whole person seemed to have merged with the Sword Intent of the world, a Flying Moon Sword God whose sharpness made one's skin ache!

And, in a black Zhongshan suit, with a majestic face, dignified without anger. It was Lin Yuan's cheap grandfather, Lin Zhan!

Besides these few Divine-Grade pillars of the nation, everyone else present was also the top leader of a major department, each with a deep aura and unfathomable strength.

The moment Lin Yuan walked into the conference room, everyone's eyes focused squarely on him.

In those gazes, there was scrutiny, curiosity, and awe... But more of it was a kind of expectation, as if they had seen a savior.

However, as the focus, Lin Yuan just scanned the room casually.

Then he walked straight to the empty seat next to his grandfather Lin Zhan, sat down with a thud, and casually picked up a spirit fruit from the table, munching on it to himself.

With that casual posture, it was as if he weren't here to attend the highest emergency meeting, but to visit for afternoon tea.

The big shots in the conference room all twitched their mouths slightly upon seeing this.

They had long heard that this young master of the Lin family had heaven-defying strength, but his personality was also extremely eccentric; seeing it today, it was indeed well-deserved.

Lin Zhan looked at his son's slacker appearance, and the veins on his temples couldn't help but throb.

But he also knew his son's temper, so he could only suppress the urge to slap him to death and pretend not to see it.

"Ahem." Sitting next to Lin Zhan, an elder with white hair and beard, a kind face, dressed in simple gray robes, looking like an ordinary neighborhood grandpa, coughed gently, breaking the awkwardness of the conference room.

He was the pillar of the Longxia Alliance. The Grand Elder, with the highest seniority and the most mysterious strength.

The Grand Elder's gaze fell gently on Lin Yuan, and he said straight to the point: "Lin Yuan, the reason we summoned you here urgently is because we discovered an unprecedented ancient ruin in the south of Dragon Xia Kingdom."

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a power that soothed the heart, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"That ruin is shrouded in a powerful energy barrier we have never seen before, and the energy fluctuations emanating from within have far exceeded our detection limits."

"More importantly..." The Grand Elder's tone became much more serious. "Our people have detected traces of the remnant forces of the Divine Court on the outskirts of the ruins!"

"Divine Court?" Lin Yuan's action of munching on the spirit fruit paused slightly. He looked up, a hint of interest appearing on his face. These guys were really like cockroaches; no matter how much you hit them, they wouldn't die.

The Grand Elder nodded and continued: "That's right. Although our victory on the Oulu Continent destroyed some members of the Divine Court, they still have many high-level officials and elites existing in the world."

"We suspect that this group of escaped fish wants to take advantage of us to seize something in that ancient ruin, likely a powerful ancient treasure, or some kind of Legacy that could allow them to make a comeback."

"This matter is of great importance. Once they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"So..." The Grand Elder looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes full of solemnity. "We want to ask you to personally lead a team to investigate the ruins! You must arrive before the Divine Court, find out the situation inside the ruins, and completely crush their schemes!"

In the conference room, the eyes of all the big shots were once again focused on Lin Yuan.

They knew very well that this mission had a very high risk factor.

The ancient ruin itself was full of unknowns, and with the addition of the vicious Divine Court forces, sending an ordinary team would be tantamount to suicide.

Only Lin Yuan, the man who could wipe out the entire Oulu Continent headquarters of the Divine Court with his own strength, had the absolute certainty to complete this mission.

However, after hearing the Grand Elder's request, Lin Yuan just curled his lips.

He threw the finished fruit core into the trash can, then leaned lazily back in his chair, pillowing his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes.

In Lin Yuan's mind, the relevant plot from the original work flashed by rapidly.

This so-called "ancient ruin," he had an impression of it.

In the original work, this was not a ruin at all, but a Seal place used to suppress an otherworldly demon god in ancient times!

Later, because the energy was exhausted, the Seal loosened, causing the demon god who had been suppressed for countless years to break the Seal and come out.

That guy's strength almost reached the combat power ceiling of this world.

As soon as it was born, it stirred up monstrous demonic flames, turning the western part of Longxia into a living hell.

Although in the end, the protagonist group gathered the power of the whole world and paid an extremely heavy price to finally re-Seal the demon god.

But that battle also caused the entire human camp to suffer heavy losses, countless powerhouses fell, laying the groundwork for the later full-scale invasion of the Divine Court.

More importantly...

If that demon god really ran out and destroyed the western part of Longxia, Tianshu Base would definitely suffer as well.

If the base were gone, his beloved lawn... wouldn't that also be ruined?

Thinking that he might not even have a place to sleep peacefully in the future, Lin Yuan's mood instantly became unpleasant.

Moreover, those unkillable cockroaches of the Divine Court had actually gotten involved.

He had ruined their good deeds time and time again, and even wiped out their Oulu Continent branch; this grudge was firmly established.

With the vengeful nature of those guys, they would definitely not let him go.

Instead of waiting for them to come and bother him every day in the future, disturbing his sleep, it was better to take the initiative now, work hard this once, and send them, along with that damn demon god, packing together.

Once and for all!

Better a short pain than a long one!

Having figured this out, Lin Yuan had a decision in his heart instantly.

He looked at Lin Zhan, who was still blowing his beard and staring there, and the room full of big shots who were about to cry, and sighed slowly.

Sigh, no choice.

In order to lie flat peacefully in the future, this 996 trip seems unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stood up from the chair with an expression of disgust, and patted the non-existent dust on his body.

"I'll go." He glanced at Shi Potian and Su Li, who were almost desperate, and said reluctantly.

The simple two words were like the sound of nature, instantly saving the entire conference room.

All the big shots were stunned.

They stared blankly at Lin Yuan, unable to react for a while.

Just a moment ago, he was acting like a dead pig that didn't fear boiling water, refusing to go even if killed, how... how did he suddenly agree?

This change was just too fast!

Lin Zhan was also stunned; his hand pointing at Lin Yuan was still frozen in mid-air, the anger on his face instantly replaced by huge ecstasy.

"You... you agreed?"

"Yeah."

...

While Lin Yuan was forced to accept the business trip mission and was preparing to set off for the ancient ruins.

A magnificent temple built entirely of black crystals floated quietly in the endless Void Realm.

Inside the temple, it was cold and oppressive.

More than a dozen huge statues, a hundred meters high, stood silently around the central throne.

Each statue was wrapped in thick, inseparable darkness and ominous aura.

This was the true core of the Divine Court, the Council of Gods.

At this moment, on the throne built of countless wailing Souls in the center of the temple, sat a blurry figure.

He seemed to be condensed from the purest darkness, his face unclear, one could only feel the terrifying pressure that could freeze the Soul.

He was the supreme Dominator of the Divine Court—the Divine Lord.

Beneath the throne, more than a dozen figures, also shrouded in black robes and exuding terrifying auras, knelt on one knee; the atmosphere of the entire temple was oppressed to the extreme.

They were the highest decision-making layer of the Divine Court, the Twelve Divine Officials.

Just a moment ago, a piece of bad news they couldn't accept came from the Oulu Continent.

The "Apocalypse Plan" they had operated for hundreds of years, invested countless resources into, and used to subvert the Oulu Alliance, had completely failed!

The elite troops stationed in Black Stone Valley were wiped out!

The ambush hidden in the Gloomy Forest was slaughtered!

Even the highest-level mole they planted inside the Holy Knights Order, Deputy Commander Barton, was beheaded in public!

What made them most unable to accept was that even Archbishop Ryan, who was responsible for sitting in the Oulu Continent and whose strength was second only to the Twelve Divine Officials, had... had also been beaten into serious injury by someone, and was still unconscious, his Godhead almost shattered!

The entire Oulu Continent branch could be said to have been uprooted and completely paralyzed!
