151: Qilin Slays the Son of God (Three in One)

At the same time.

Central area of the Civilization Ruins.

The Tian Ce Academy team was advancing rapidly.

Lu Ming was carried on Yuan Shen's back, his complexion regaining color and his paleness significantly alleviated. At this moment, his eyes shone with light as he subtly activated his spiritual energy. The spiritual energy, like threads, enveloped the team, concealing their aura and movements.

Along the way, there were many Contaminator lurking around, but under the spiritual energy's concealment, they completely overlooked the team's presence and couldn't detect them.

"We're almost there."

Dragon Cloud Safety, leading the team, spoke in a steady voice, "Once we get closer, proceed according to plan."

"Strive for success in one strike."

"Understood."

From behind, voices of agreement resounded.

The central area, shrouded in night, was dim and devoid of light.

The Tian Ce Academy team once again fell silent, with no one speaking.

Just then.

Boom!

Ahead, accompanied by a thunderous explosion in the silent night, the Tian Ce Academy team clearly saw a flash of brilliant lightning in the air at the far end of their vision, illuminating the surrounding buildings!

"Where is that?!"

Dragon Cloud Safety's voice rang out.

"It's the Spiral Tower."

Gu Xiwun quickly said, "That should be our target for this trip, the resting place of the Divine Child."

His voice was calm, and a subtle glint flashed in his eyes: "It seems someone has the same idea as us and has acted first."

"Are there other teams faster than us?"

The Tian Ce Academy team did not stop. Under the cover of night, the lightning disappeared for a moment, then reappeared, as if becoming a guiding light.

"Those who would launch a surprise attack at this time are likely teams, like us, who haven't chosen either of these two factions and are preparing to seize the opportunity."

"Speed up, go help immediately!"

The command rang out, and the Tian Ce Academy team members burst into full speed, rapidly approaching the battlefield.

...

In mid-air.

The Divine Child's appearance changed, its body swelled, and all the chains around it shattered. After a few breaths, it transformed into the form Qin Jin had seen before: its body was grayish-blue, its physique was human-like, and at a glance, it exuded a sense of perfection.

Two bone wings sprouted from its back, fluttering slightly.

Below.

With this sound, the Contaminator were startled awake. Around the Spiral Tower, countless Contaminator were rapidly approaching, but after reaching a certain area, they hesitated and stopped, seemingly influenced by the Divine Child and unable to get closer.

"During the special exploration area, the Divine Child's form change was very sudden; it truly seemed to be an [aberration]."

"Now, it has mastered this ability and can actively change its form."

The thought flashed through Qin Jin's mind.

The Divine Child stood in mid-air, its crimson pupils gazing at the Spiral Tower, its gaze fixed on Qin Jin, who was surrounded by lightning. A somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

"Pure One."

"You're quite good for daring to attack me."

"However..."

"I don't like the timing of your appearance."

The hoarse voice echoed through the night sky. In the next instant, its bone wings spread, and black mist surged around its body, enveloping it as it lunged fiercely towards Qin Jin.

"Let me see."

"Do you... have the qualifications to challenge me?"

Its voice lingered in the air.

At the same time.

Qin Jin's primal power began to fluctuate.

Like ebb and flow, within Qin Jin's physique, his primal power first stilled, then surged violently. In this fluctuation, his primal power became even more turbulent, with waves rising.

Ninefold Wave!

This was the ability he obtained by extracting transcendent factors on Eight Extremes Star.

Having rushed all the way here to face one of the bosses of this Civilization Ruins, Qin Jin had already activated his ability during his journey. Now, the first wave, after its dormancy, was about to erupt!

As the Divine Child lunged, Qin Jin's gaze sharpened. He clenched his right fist, primal power instantly gathered, his fist radiating divine light, and he unleashed a punch with formidable force.

In the next instant!

Qin Jin and the Divine Child clashed, fist against fist.

As the two collided, an explosion suddenly erupted. The already shattered floor-to-ceiling windows completely shattered at this moment, affecting the surroundings. At the same time, on both sides of the Spiral Tower, two figures simultaneously retreated backward.

One was the Divine Child, tumbling backward in mid-air, its bone wings flapping to regain balance.

The other was Qin Jin, who, under the burst of power, stepped on the top floor of the tower, continuously deflecting the force backward.

"Pure One..."

The Divine Child's eyes were obscure and difficult to decipher as it looked towards the top floor of the tower.

At this very moment.

A flash of lightning was suddenly reflected in its eyes.

Inside the tower, lightning radiated brilliantly around Qin Jin, and a rare sense of exhilaration flickered in his eyes. Above his back, the phantom of the Thunder Marsh appeared.

With the Thunder Marsh standing behind him, the surging thunder spiritual energy in his spiritual void poured into all parts of his body, converging and merging with his primal power. Everything completed in an instant. In the Divine Child's sight, the moment Qin Jin stopped his retreat, he charged forward again.

He rushed to the edge of the top floor, stomped hard, and his entire body soared into the air. Lightning erupted as he sped towards the Divine Child.

Lightning streaked across the sky.

Lightning and black mist clashed together.

In mid-air, fists and feet collided. In the substantive close-quarters combat, it was a clash of power.

Explosions continued!

Another punch was thrown, and the sound of waves within him resonated—Second Wave!

This punch, unleashed with astonishing power, carried a terrifying impact. The Divine Child's body was sent flying backward into the Spiral Tower!

The powerful impact, combined with the Divine Child's own physical strength, caused it to become like an unstoppable cannonball, violently smashing through the tower wall and piercing through it.

Qin Jin followed like a shadow, pursuing it. Inside the Spiral Tower, he closed in and exchanged blows again.

Boom!

Amidst the explosions, the Divine Child's body burst out from the other side of the tower, landing on the ground.

At a glance, its grayish-blue skin was covered in charred wounds, its bone wings on its back were broken and stuck into the ground, and its black armor was shattered. In various parts of its body, some areas had been completely annihilated, leaving empty holes.

It looked like a broken, leaky ragdoll now.

However, even in this state, its body swayed and it slowly climbed up from the ground.

Its crimson eyes grew even more intense. It no longer spoke, but a howling roar erupted from the Divine Child's mouth.

As this sound emanated, around the plaza, painful wails rose from the mouths of the Contaminator.

Amidst the wails, black mist surged from their bodies, as if being extracted, and converged towards the Divine Child. The moment the black mist was drawn away, their bodies collapsed limply to the ground.

Black mist ascended into the air. In the area surrounding the Divine Child, a strange natural phenomenon appeared. Like a whale swallowing, the black mist integrated into the Divine Child's body, and its size began to increase.

Qin Jin's eyes were steady, and his aura rose; he was not surprised.

Since the team competition had become a faction battle, the true big boss would definitely have a trump card.

Even...

When the organizers set up the ruins, the initial script they might have envisioned was that one faction would gain an advantage, and after a large army pressed in, this method would be triggered, leading to a final attrition kill by many teams working together.

Seeing this, he thought of even more.

The God-Slaying Blade obtained from the Saint.

According to what the Saint said, that blade could absorb pollution power. But looking at the current situation, if he were to attack the Divine Child with that blade, wouldn't it be highly likely to directly trigger its third phase?

"I need to interrupt it during the process."

"I can't let it absorb too much power and create a hidden danger."

The thought flashed through his mind.

Qin Jin's own aura surged rapidly.

Just then.

From behind, a shout rang out.

"Qin Jin, let's cooperate."

Dragon Cloud Safety.

He learned Qin Jin's name from Gu Xiwun.

"Good."

Qin Jin was also aware of the Tian Ce Academy team's arrival.

Their appearance in this place at this time made their objective self-evident.

Since their objectives were the same, and there were also familiar people within the Tian Ce Academy team, there was a certain basis for trust.

With a glance, Qin Jin directly said, "I need some time."

He did not explain.

Nor did he say much more.

Dragon Cloud Safety's expression became serious, and he nodded directly, "Okay!"

As his voice fell.

His command rang out: "Lu Ming, try to use spiritual energy to intercept the black mist."

"Everyone else."

"Act according to the plan."

Behind them, upon arriving, Lu Ming had already dismounted from Yuan Shen. His face still lacked color, but his eyes glowed as he activated his spiritual energy!

The Child of God's body expanded rapidly after the black mist integrated into it. It had already grown from human size to several meters tall and was still increasing.

It was at this moment.

Spiritual Energy manifested, forming a grid and a barrier within the Child of God and the surrounding black mist, intercepting its growth.

Its growth speed halted.

Lu Ming's face lit up with joy, but after a few seconds, the Spiritual Energy barrier he had created broke like a dam, and then it became uncontrollable. The black mist surged in frantically, and the growth continued.

Lu Ming's face grew even paler.

This damage did not affect him personally; otherwise, he would have already triggered his teleportation halo and returned to the resting area.

At the same time.

Led by Dragon Cloud Safety, the other Tian Ce Academy students surged forward, rushing towards the Child of God.

As they advanced, Dragon Cloud Safety's expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's begin."

As soon as he spoke.

Behind him, the other Tian Ce Academy students changed formation, as if they had undergone serious training. Their positions shifted, their speed did not decrease, and as their original power surged, they simultaneously activated the same secret technique!

As the secret technique was activated, at a certain instant, the original power of these thirteen people resonated, intertwining in mid-air.

This was an extremely peculiar sight.

Original power, as the core strength of a Martial Artist, is as unique as a thousand faces, completely different, but now... it resonated.

As the resonance occurred, these thirteen people seemed linked together, and the core of the resonance was Dragon Cloud Safety.

The third-year student of Tian Ce Academy, and the Tian Ce Captain for this event.

At the moment of resonance, the original power of the other students behind him surged out, converging in mid-air like a torrent, flowing into the core of the resonance.

Dragon Cloud Safety.

His physique was powerful, and his muscles were robust. Now, as the original power of others surged into him, his body also swelled slightly, and veins bulged on his muscles, looking somewhat terrifying. His aura, moreover, climbed higher and higher.

"You all go clear out the nearest Contaminator to slow down its absorption speed."

"It's mine for now."

Dragon Cloud Safety's voice deepened slightly. After giving the order, he stomped his right leg, and his figure shot out.

The ground shattered with a roar.

The other students behind him split off.

Both sides acted simultaneously, and in just over ten seconds, explosions spread through the Polluter group, and the surging black mist decreased.

At the same time, Dragon Cloud Safety had already approached the Child of God. He was now a true muscle-bound powerhouse. He stomped the ground, his body soaring into the air, and the original power integrated into his body merged with his own strength, erupting with a roar as he shot forward.

The next instant!

He launched a flying kick directly at the Child of God.

This ability came from his Secret Treasure!

Human Secret Treasures are bizarre and diverse, and his Secret Treasure was called [Hundred Nays].

Within Tian Ce Academy, a specialized team was even formed to develop his Secret Treasure.

His body shimmered with brilliant light. In the flying kick, his original power destroyed the black mist, and he passed directly through.

The Child of God had already transformed into a giant. The area he passed through formed a void, and black mist surged in to repair it, but the Child of God's growth speed was also delayed.

The attack was effective, but Dragon Cloud Safety's expression darkened.

His movements did not stop, and he turned around for another strike, his thoughts racing.

"This is going to be difficult."

"The final BOSS of the Civilization Ruins is still troublesome. From the looks of it, either all the Contaminator must be cleared, or the upper limit of the attack must exceed its recovery speed to completely kill it."

"Should I use that move...?"

His eyes flickered. After delaying the Child of God's growth again, his gaze shifted to the side.

There, Qin Jin's surrounding lightning dissipated, and he slightly closed his eyes.

"Using that move will consume too much of my energy, probably directly reaching the elimination line."

"If it doesn't succeed..."

"First, I'll try to weaken the Child of God's state as much as possible. If that doesn't work, then I'll consider other options."

His thoughts flashed rapidly, and his original power erupted as he charged towards the Child of God again.

At the same time.

The Child of God, who had been focused on absorbing the black mist and growing itself, also noticed this "little bug" that was hindering its growth. With a wave of its hand, the two collided.

On the other side.

Qin Jin's eyes were slightly closed.

As his original power roared, another wave rose.

Fourth Wave.

His mind was focused on himself, and the power within his Spiritual Void was mobilized.

If the Tian Ce team hadn't arrived, he would have adopted a different fighting style, but with their help, he prepared to accumulate power for a decisive strike.

Within the Spiritual Void, spiritual energy surged like a tide.

The Shadow of the Fire God appeared and merged into his body. There was no unusual phenomenon around Qin Jin, but his aura climbed higher and higher.

Heaven, Fire God, Lei Ze!

With the assistance of the three, at a certain instant, Qin Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

Within his eyes, the scene of the Spiritual Void was reflected.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, directing them forward. His aura erupted with a roar, kicking up dust. Dragon Cloud Safety, who was fighting the Child of God, came into view. On the mental level, his voice sounded, reaching the other party.

"Retreat."

The word "retreat" exploded like a thunderclap on the mental level.

After the Child of God's giant palm descended, Dragon Cloud Safety retreated some distance to release the force. As the word "retreat" sounded, a strong warning sign arose in his heart, and without any hesitation, he suddenly pulled back to a greater distance.

The moment he pulled back.

Qin Jin's own power roared out.

Original power and spiritual energy intertwined and emerged. After repeated transformations, these two forces were already inseparable. Now, as Qin Jin accumulated them, they surged out like a torrent, charging towards the Child of God.

Without Dragon Cloud Safety's interference, the Child of God's body growth speed returned to normal.

But at this moment, it seemed to sense danger. The continuously surging black mist condensed in front of it, forming a shield to block the attack.

And on the other side.

The torrent of power surged forward. Under Qin Jin's control, the attack method contained within the Lei Ze technique was unleashed. With original power as the surface and spiritual energy as the core, the power condensed into a form, combining both lightning and fire. In the process, it vaguely formed the shape of a mythical beast from legends.

That was...

A Qilin!

A Thunderfire Qilin!

The form gradually took shape. Lightning and fire intertwined under Qin Jin's control. These two most rigid forces in the world were now under control, but not in a state of restraint, but for a stronger eruption.

The torrent of power surged forward.

Just before it touched the shield formed by the black mist, the Qilin truly took shape. Its eyes opened, reflecting lightning and fire.

The next instant, this mythical beast, evolved from power, directly impacted the black mist shield.

Upon contact, the black mist was annihilated and disintegrated by the thunderfire. The Qilin charged forward, annihilating everything. After breaking through the defense, the Qilin leaped, its front hooves landing on the Child of God's chest.

Qilin stomps Child of God.

With one stomp, power erupted with a roar. Thunder and fire pierced through its chest, and the Child of God's body fell towards the ground. But as it fell, a flash of light appeared in the Qilin's eyes, and at a certain moment, it completely exploded!

The power contained within it erupted completely at this instant. Lightning and flames intertwined, sweeping everything. The Child of God's body began to disintegrate and collapse. The flames burning in mid-air ignited the black mist, spreading along it and burning in the sky, illuminating the night.

Bang!

The Child of God's body hit the ground.

Boom boom boom!

Continuous power explosions persisted, destroying everything, and the might spread.

All around.

The students of Tian Ce Academy stopped their actions, their eyes reflecting the thunderfire as they watched this scene.

No sooner said than done.

Under the continuous power explosions, at some unknown point, the black mist stopped surging out from the Contaminator' bodies.

This meant that the Child of God's strongest ability in its third phase had been broken.

Dragon Cloud Safety was closest to the battlefield. Looking at the lightning and fire that were still annihilating the Child of God's body, his gaze shifted to the instigator of it all.

Qin Jin!

He stood in place, his fingers pointed like a sword, in a sword-pointing posture.

As if sensing Dragon Cloud Safety's gaze, Qin Jin turned his head and looked at him.

Qin Jin's face was somewhat pale, appearing to have been greatly depleted by the recent attack, but looking at the calm expression on that pale face, Dragon Cloud Safety felt a chill in his heart.

"What a terrifying person."

The thought flashed through his mind.

In front, Qin Jin's questioning voice sounded.

"Are you the Commander of Tian Ce Academy?"

Hearing the question, Dragon Cloud Safety was momentarily stunned, but then shook his head and said, "No."

"I am a third-year student of Tian Ce Academy, a General."

"If there were an accurate ranking for Generals, I could probably be among the Great Generals, but I am indeed not as good as the 'Commander' of the same year."

Qin Jin's eyebrows raised slightly.

He could hear the conviction in the other party's words.

"He didn't even participate in such an important event as the Po Xian Cup?"

Qin Jin's questioning voice sounded.

"He was supposed to participate."

The thunderfire continued to erupt, and Dragon Cloud Safety's voice also became calm: "However, he didn't come because he was temporarily summoned for a mission."

The Commander of Tian Ce being summoned, and the Federation having the authority to do so, was undoubtedly the Military Department.

"Qin Jin."

Dragon Cloud Safety looked at Qin Jin and continued, "It seems you are very interested in our Tian Ce Commander."

"There will be opportunities in the future."

"People like you are all monsters. If you meet in the future, you will definitely have a lot in common."

"But it seems..."

He thought of Qin Jin's age and then that last strike: "You seem to be even more abnormal than our Tian Ce third-year Commander."

As he spoke.

The thunderfire gradually subsided.

The area where the Child of God had been was now completely empty, with no trace of it. The black mist had been annihilated, revealing the original colors.

The night was deep.

But at this moment, within the Civilization Ruins, the wristbands of all the contestants who were still earning points simultaneously vibrated, and information appeared.

[Child of God Faction Leader Fallen]

[Child of God Faction Failed]

The message content was concise.

But the information it revealed caused countless contestants within the Civilization Ruins to change their expressions.

"What's going on?!"

"Leader? Did the Child of God fall?"

"I haven't even met the faction boss, and it's already dead?"

"What happened."

"I chose the [Pure Ones] faction, and now I've won by lying down."

At this time, countless contestants stopped their actions. After checking the information, they immediately began communicating with their teammates.

...

Civilization Ruins, a certain location.

The Wu Yuan Academy team members had already gathered.

The light screen on their wristbands illuminated each person's face. After reading the information, silence fell over the surroundings.

After a few seconds of silence, a voice sounded.

"Didn't we say we'd go test it out?"

"It's already resolved?"

It was Hua Jieyu, a second-year student, who spoke.

Her eyes held lingering surprise as she whispered.

"Is it possible that someone else did it?"

Beside her, Xu Chen's voice sounded.

"Not very likely."

An Shi's voice sounded: "Given Qin Jin's strength, and how quickly he made the decision to head to the city center, who could be faster than him?"

"As for the true situation, we can just ask."

"Han Miao."

He looked at Han Miao.

Han Miao did not answer immediately. After about a few seconds, she nodded slightly.

The meaning was self-evident.

"Jin Ge is still fierce."

"He solved half of our mission objective by himself."

Xie Wuhai said quickly.

"Everyone."

Chi Wenwu's voice sounded: "With the Child of God directly resolved, the situation within the Civilization Ruins is going to change significantly. Now, we will have many more teammates to jointly attack the [Pure Ones]."

...

Industrial Zone, core area.

Silently, the phantom of a Pure Ones in a nun's habit appeared in the sky.

Its eyes were deep, looking towards the city center, contemplating something unknown.

...

Star Sea.

Outside the planet where the Po Xian Cup was held, the Dengxing Arena was quietly moored in the Star Sea.

Because the individual competition had not yet begun, it was in a silent state, not yet activated.

Inside the Dengxing Arena, in a certain conference room, the surrounding screens displayed the current status of various team competition teams.

At a glance, many of the teams on the screen had already assembled, and their expressions now showed surprise as they rapidly communicated.

Just then, a voice sounded in the conference room.

"Excellent."

"As expected of Wu Yuan, a hotbed of geniuses, and every once in a while, extraordinary individuals who far surpass geniuses emerge from it."

His voice fell.

A female voice sounded: "From the overall proportion of participating teams, the number of teams that did not choose these two factions is slightly higher than our initial expectation."

"They are all good prospects."

"Wu Yuan's Qin Jin."

"He's too outstanding. If I remember correctly, the Child of God's combat form was set at a Master-level strength, and its subsequent form changes were based on that for improvement."

"For Qin Jin to have such strength at his age, it seems that in a few years, another powerful Martial Artist who will dominate the Star Sea will emerge from Wu Yuan."

"This is going to be difficult."

The voice that spoke earlier sounded.

From Qin Jin's performance, he perfectly aligns with our selection criteria, but his performance is too outstanding; Wu Yuan Academy might not release him to participate in our operation.

Even if the Federation's relevant departments exert pressure, if Wu Yuan Academy doesn't agree, we won't be able to invite him. Having such a figure participate would significantly enhance the exploration of that area.

Let's negotiate after the competition.

There are also a few other promising talents; pay close attention to them.

The voices of discussion faded in the room.

...

City Center.

The spiral high-rise behind him, which was initially pristine, had become riddled with holes.

In front of the tower, Qin Jin looked at the information on his wristband.

After the basic faction prompt appeared, more information emerged on his wristband's light screen.

[You have completed the mission objective — Hunt the Son of God]

[Based on your specific performance in combat, you have gained 234,291 points]

"A huge harvest."

"No information about civilization revival has appeared. It seems that only after [Purge the Saint] will the final settlement of everything occur."

A thought flashed, and Qin Jin's gaze shifted towards the Industrial Zone.

In the distance.

After the Son of God fell, the Contaminator became headless flies, even attacking each other.

Tian Ce Academy's team members ended their combat and quickly approached.

Gaze after gaze fell on Qin Jin, their eyes filled with emotion.

Vaguely, Qin Jin also clearly heard someone say, "Gu Xiwun, you were right. Luckily, we changed the evacuation point that day."

One person from Wu Yuan Academy.

All members of Tian Ce Academy.

Upon approaching, Gu Xiwun's gaze focused on Qin Jin, his eyes somewhat complex, and he spoke, "Are you an unaligned participant?"

"Yes."

Qin Jin nodded in response.

Hearing this, Gu Xiwun showed a 'just as I expected' expression and said, "Qin Jin, when do you plan to act against the Saint?"

"As soon as possible."

Qin Jin's voice was steady: "Delay breeds trouble. Once I've fully recovered, I'll head to the Industrial Zone."

"That's quite decisive."

Gu Xiwun sighed, his tone becoming a bit more serious: "The Saint's faction participants, after receiving the information prompt, will surely be on guard."

"Next time, it probably won't be so easy."

Qin Jin looked at him.

Gu Xiwun's flat glasses flashed: "This is the central area of this civilization relic. The flames of war haven't reached it. As we traveled here, I saw many buildings that were in perfect condition, but no one was utilizing them."

"I do have a plan."

Qin Jin was thoughtful.

...

...

The sky gradually brightened.

After the Son of God fell, the Contaminator were in complete disarray. In the inner city area of the relic, chaotic battles were visible everywhere, with bizarre-looking monsters attacking each other.

The sudden situation last night exceeded countless people's expectations.

Participants who chose to join the Son of God's faction felt like their world had collapsed. Without any preparation, their faction was directly gone, and everything changed drastically.

Inside the civilization relic, various teams either gathered to discuss or communicated via communicators, all deliberating on subsequent plans.

As the exploration area continuously expanded, equipment like communicators had become standard, with everyone possessing them.

At this moment.

Almost simultaneously, the communicators carried by participants in the relic emitted a static sound.

This sound caught the participants' attention. As they held their communicators, a steady voice came through:

"The Son of God faction has been annihilated, but the team competition is not over. The Saint faction has not yet won."

"Friends of the Son of God faction, we need to unite and attack the Industrial Zone, slay the Saint, and rebalance the scales so that the faction's victory or defeat does not affect the final points ranking."

The voice echoed, repeating continuously.

"Eight hours later, we will launch a general attack on the Industrial Zone. Please gather."

Inside the relic.

Countless participants' expressions subtly changed.

At the same time.

City Center.

Inside a building, Gu Xiwun put down the microphone in his hand.

This was a building similar to a broadcast tower within the civilization relic.

The buildings in the city center of the civilization relic were in good condition, everything preserved. After a search, they found this place, activated the backup power, and initiated this special full-scale broadcast.

Tian Ce Academy.

Compared to Wu Yuan Academy, their curriculum undoubtedly differed in focus, and their specific ways of thinking also varied.

Putting down the microphone, another Tian Ce Academy student took it, continuing the broadcast.

Gu Xiwun pushed the door open and looked at Qin Jin and Dragon Cloud Safety, who were waiting outside, nodding.

"Launching a general attack can also indirectly slow down the Saint faction participants' rate of acquiring points."

"Most of the Son of God faction players will not miss this opportunity."

His voice was steady: "This major team competition confrontation has been brought forward significantly. Next, it will be a complete head-on clash."

"With the Son of God faction as our reinforcements, we also have a better chance of completing this mission."

At this point, his gaze shifted to Qin Jin: "Qin Jin, will you join us for the next action?"

"No."

Qin Jin shook his head: "Since a general attack is being launched, I also need to return to my team."

"Alright."

Dragon Cloud Safety on the side nodded, looking out through the building window: "This place is not close to the Industrial Zone."

"Do you want to try our express transport?"

"Express?"

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Half an hour later.

The fourteen members of Tian Ce Academy, along with Qin Jin, gathered below the broadcast building.

Lu Ming stood at the center.

Spiritual energy surged, brilliant colors flashed around, and the group suddenly disappeared.

The moment they vanished, Qin Jin looked around. Brilliant colors surrounded him, looking somewhat similar to a starship's warp jump.

"Spiritual energy teleportation."

"It looks like they completed a warp between two locations through some special channel."

A thought flashed.

The surrounding brilliance faded, and they had already appeared in another place.

In the distance, a team was moving at full speed. The moment they appeared, their attention immediately shifted, their eyes filled with vigilance, and they quickly distanced themselves.

Qin Jin's gaze swept over them, then looked at Dragon Cloud Safety and the others, saying calmly, "See you on the battlefield."

After leaving that remark.

He turned and vanished from his spot.

Tian Ce Academy and the others watched Qin Jin's retreating figure.

"What a pity."

Long Ruoan's voice rang out: "Such an outstanding individual is certainly not an unknown. I imagine our Tian Ce Academy also extended an invitation to him, but he ultimately chose Wu Yuan Academy."

"If he had come to our Tian Ce Academy."

Long Ruoan looked back at the Tian Ce Academy students behind him: "Then among our Tian Ce Academy, we would have another 'Commander' who surpasses his peers."

...

Qin Jin's figure receded into the distance.

Han Miao's voice occasionally came through on the mental level, and he communicated with the Wu Yuan Academy team.

Qin Jin's direction of travel was precisely their location.

As he walked, Qin Jin raised his wristband and looked at the teleportation function above.

If he wanted, he could instantly arrive in the Industrial Zone now.

"The current situation isn't suitable for direct teleportation."

"First, a frontal assault, observe the situation on the battlefield, then decide on the specific plan."

"Hunt the Son of God, Purge the Saint."

"The goals seem similar, but the words used are completely different. Is there a distinction on some level here?"

...

After a broadcast, all participants within the entire civilization relic were mobilized.

Participants who chose the Son of God began spontaneously approaching the Industrial Zone. Teams, initially wary when encountering each other, confirmed their faction identity and then traveled together, with only one goal.

To eliminate the potential points gap that the factions might create at this moment.

Along the way, battles occasionally erupted, which were conflicts between different factions.

At the same time.

Participants from the Saint's side also began to gather in the Industrial Zone.

They didn't know what the Son of God had encountered. Although it was good news, it also aroused their vigilance.

If the Son of God could suddenly die, then what about the Saint?

A brewing battle was about to erupt within the civilization relic.

...

Time passed.

Outskirts of the Industrial Zone.

Qin Jin stood among the crowd, his eyes slightly closed, recovering his consumption as the team advanced.

Beside him were the other members of Wu Yuan Academy.

At this moment, fourteen people were gathered. The others were clearing the mechanical bodies in front, and other small teams were also moving together, continuously advancing.

Beside Qin Jin.

Chi Wenwu's voice rang out.

"Qin Jin, what abilities did the Son of God have?"

"As the two main factions of the civilization relic, perhaps we can compare them."

Qin Jin's eyes remained closed as he spoke: "The Son of God was divided into multiple stages."

"Each stage's form would change, and its abilities would differ..."

He relayed the information he had obtained during the battle, saying calmly, "Within this civilization relic, the Son of God belongs to an extraordinary life form, more akin to a creation of the Mi Sect."

"As for the Saint."

"As an artificial intelligence, it belongs to the technological side. It also seems to have mastered extraordinary abilities, making it even more mysterious."

At this point.

Qin Jin's voice became a bit more serious: "The Son of God and the Saint should have had some form of communication. Perhaps they weren't in a purely hostile state."

When he fought the Son of God.

The other party had once uttered a phrase.

[The Saint's Plan]

When he participated in the first battlefield, he had already had a question: the Son of God's side seemed to hold an absolute advantage and initiative, but judging from the situation inside the Industrial Zone, the Contaminator had never truly breached the core area.

This was undoubtedly problematic.

Now it seemed that as the most powerful existences currently within the civilization relic, the two clearly had communicated, possessing deeper, hidden information.

With this information, in Qin Jin's conjecture, if everything in the civilization relic were normal, special exploration areas might appear next, allowing participants to obtain more background information.

However, now, due to the Son of God's fall, everything had changed.

There were still several days until the team competition ended, but the final major battle had already been brought forward, poised to erupt!

After advancing for a while longer, the team stopped. Teams arrived from all directions, silently waiting.

Inside the Industrial Zone.

Mechanical bodies surged, and the Pure Ones, played by the participants, also began to gather.

...

At the same time.

Lei Yu Star.

Star God Forbidden Zone.

Within the differentspace, the Star God's main body slumbered.

Within his massive body, the extraordinary power from Gloom Star-Chaser Eye had successfully devoured and transformed half of it, gradually shrinking.

The consciousness that had not fallen into slumber appeared in character form, floating within the differentspace.

In front of it, a screen appeared, showing a planet under construction. The characters floated, seemingly very interested in this scene.

Just then.

The character sensed something. As it floated, a portal formed.

Two figures entered side by side, arriving here.

One of them was the Martial God of the Returning Ruins — Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu.

The face of the other person was shrouded in a wondrous sight. At first glance, it was as if one was looking at a deep starry sea.

Judging by her figure, she should be a woman.

Her attire looked like a 'robe', with various brilliant scenes flashing across it, from collapsing galaxies to nascent civilizations. After entering the differentspace, she looked at the Star God's main body, which was in slumber.

"Martial God, sir."

The character clone's voice rang out: "Why have you come?"

"I heard from Qin Jin about the return gift you prepared for me, so I came uninvited."

Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu's tone was calm, his voice echoing within the differentspace, his gaze focused on the Star God's main body.

"I never expected to receive a return gift from a deity in my twilight years."

"Lord Tianshi, thank you."

Hearing this.

The character clone danced: "It has not yet been completed. Martial God Su still needs to wait for some time."

"I know."

Su Buqi, War God of Gui Xu nodded: "I came here to lend you a hand."

"This is also helping myself."

"Let me introduce you."

He pointed to the woman beside him, whose face was shrouded in a wondrous sight: "Starfire Federation, Ninth Realm Spiritual Energy User."

"An Ran."
