69: Chapter 69 World Situation, Cooperation with the Government

"Ask for instructions?"

Lin Chuan did not stop him. His eyes, belonging to the Evil Buddha and devoid of any emotional fluctuations, merely watched Ning Shou indifferently.

He wasn't worried about Ning Shou playing tricks.

In the face of absolute rule-based power, any schemes or intrigues were nothing more than a candle in the wind, extinguished with a single breath.

Besides, given the current situation, the Great Xin Dynasty had no choice but to cooperate.

Time passed second by second.

Ning Shou didn't pull out a communication device; instead, he fished out a piece of yellow paper drawn with eerie runes from his bosom and whispered an obscure incantation.

Immediately after, the yellow paper ignited without fire, turning into a wisp of blue smoke that bored into the Void Realm.

Another three minutes passed.

Buzz—!!!

The Void Realm in front of Ning Shou suddenly rippled like waves on water.

A massive full-length mirror, ancient in style with intricate patterns carved on its frame, actually "grew" out of those ripples from thin air.

The mirror's surface didn't reflect the surroundings; instead, it was a deep, swirling dark vortex.

"A Rule Creation?"

Lin Chuan's heart stirred slightly.

This mirror emitted strong rule fluctuations, but the mirror itself wasn't a "supernatural entity"; it was a special Supernatural Item!!

Tap, tap, tap... A rhythmic sound of leather shoes striking the ground echoed from inside the mirror.

In an instant.

A leg wearing black suit trousers stepped out.

Then, a slender middle-aged man wearing a neat black suit slowly emerged from the mirror.

He looked to be about forty years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his hair combed meticulously.

There wasn't the slightest cold aura of a Ghost Controller on him.

He looked like an ordinary scholar or a high-ranking administrative official.

But Lin Chuan could sense it.

Within this seemingly ordinary man's body surged an extremely vast and bizarre power.

"A pleasure to meet you for the first time, Ancient Buddha of Rebirth."

The man pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked up at the massive evil buddha golden body in mid-air.

His gaze was as calm as water, lacking the fear ordinary people felt when facing a taboo.

"I am the general head of the Great Xin Dynasty's Ghost Suppression Department. You may call me... Mr. K."

The man introduced his identity nonchalantly.

Lin Chuan didn't speak.

Only those massive eyes flowing with bloody tears lowered slightly, carrying an invisible scrutiny.

"Ning Shou has already synchronized the situation to me."

Mr. K didn't mind Lin Chuan's reaction and said in a steady tone:

"Regarding Your Excellency's proposal for cooperation, after an emergency vote by the Supreme Council..."

"We have agreed."

At this point, he paused and took out a black phone from his bosom that looked like it was made of specially crafted metal.

"As a gesture of sincerity, this contains the most core top-secret intelligence currently held by the Great Xin Dynasty regarding this world."

"Including the Yanlong Empire that Your Excellency is interested in, and... the real upheavals currently occurring in this world."

He gently placed the phone on the ground.

"As for Yanmang Province..."

Mr. K took a deep look at this scarred land.

"Since Your Excellency has the ability to suppress the taboos here, then from this day forward, this place shall be designated as Your Excellency's... Autonomous Parish."

"The official forces of the Great Xin Dynasty will fully withdraw and no longer interfere with any of Your Excellency's actions."

"But we have only one request."

Mr. K's voice became a bit more serious.

"Please keep your promise, Your Excellency, to help my Great Xin Dynasty clear some taboos within our borders, and at the same time... do not cause turmoil within my Great Xin Dynasty!"

"This is the bottom line."

Hearing this, Lin Chuan's evil buddha golden body moved slightly, and a vast Buddhist voice rolled down: "Good!"

Just a single word.

Yet it exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

Then, an invisible rule-based power swept up the black phone from the ground and pulled it before Lin Chuan.

"Now that the deal is struck."

"I won't disturb Your Excellency any further."

Seeing Lin Chuan take the phone, a smile appeared on Mr. K's face, and he bowed slightly.

Then, he turned to look at the few shivering surviving team members nearby and Ning Shou beside him.

"Let's go."

"This land no longer belongs to us."

Ning Shou took one last deep look at Lin Chuan, his eyes full of resentment, but he eventually gritted his teeth and followed Mr. K into the mirror.

Whoosh!!

As the last person stepped in.

The mirror's surface distorted, and then along with that massive full-length mirror, it vanished into thin air.

As if it had never appeared... "They're gone just like that?"

Lin Chuan looked at the empty mountain top, a hint of playfulness flashing in his heart.

"This guy named K... is not simple either."

Soon, Lin Chuan stopped thinking about it.

With a thought, all the data stored in that black specialized phone surfaced in his mind!

As he began to read this data and information, shocking images and textual materials unfolded like a scroll:

[West Continent: Entire territory lost contact.]

The records showed that three months ago, an eerie gray mist surged from the depths of the West Ocean, swallowing the entire West Continent within a single week.

Satellite imagery showed that only a chaotic gray-white void remained there now.

The continent that once held thirty-six prosperous nations had completely turned into a dead land.

There were even rumors that something terrifying called the "Unnamable Egg" was gestating within the mist.

[Peacock Holy Nation of the Southern Continent: Fallen into national religious fanaticism.]

In the Peacock Holy Nation, the entire nation was conducting a "God-Worship Movement."

They were worshiping a Taboo Medium codenamed [Brahma].

The true body of that taboo was an sss rank seventh tier taboo located in the Chaos Void Realm!!

The royalty and monks of the Peacock Holy Nation were attempting to usher the true body of that "taboo" into the real world through the sacrifice of living beings!

"Madmen..."

Lin Chuan cursed inwardly.

sss rank seventh tier... that was a terrifying existence a full six minor ranks higher than The Shy One!

Once its true body descended, no one knew what horrific things would happen!

[Shaven Empire of the Arctic Continent: Human-Ghost Symbiosis.]

The Shaven Empire in the far north had embarked on an extremely mad path.

To survive, the Shaven Empire's government actively sought the protection of taboos, even willingly turning into Taboo Kin that were neither human nor ghost!

[Star-Striped Nation of the Red Continent: Gaze of the Emperor Eye.]

The former world hegemon, the Star-Striped Nation located on the Red Continent, had already lost most of its territory.

Recently, a massive distorted eyeball—the [Emperor Eye]—had appeared in the sky above the Star-Striped Nation!

According to the Yanlong Empire's remote detection, its Terror Level... was undetectable!

The Yanlong Empire inferred that it was suspected to be an SSS-Rank Eighth-Tier Taboo! Its Terror Level might even reach... SSS-Rank Ninth Tier!!

That was a truly great horror!

Although it seemed to have never awakened and merely floated there motionless, the rule-based radiation it emitted had already caused irreversible mutations in organisms within a radius of thousands of kilometers.

"SSS-Rank Ninth Tier..."

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan felt a sense of oppression.

One must know that an SSS-Rank Ninth Tier taboo was the supreme existence among currently known taboos!!

[Dongsheng Continent / Yanlong Empire: The Last Line of Defense.]

The Yanlong Empire, as the hegemon of Dongsheng Continent, had adopted the most radical "Taboo Purge" policy.

They utilized their deep foundations and some mysterious technology in an attempt to clear all taboos! All supernatural entities!

Within the data concerning the Yanlong Empire, a piece of top-secret information was also mentioned!

That was, in the past month, abnormal tremors had appeared in the Kunlun Ruins within the Yanlong Empire!!

It was suspected that some unnamable ancient taboo... was awakening.

The Yanlong Empire had already mobilized the power of the entire nation to head there and suppress it with all their might...
