I can find treasures in my dreams.

Guo Nannan, who had been praised as "very capable" by her female secretary, was at a loss for what to do: "What should I do now?"

He instinctively thought of a solution—to notify the Great Xia base in Atinna.

Previously, Great Xia signed a series of agreements with Atinna. In order to protect its own interests and consolidate Great Xia's influence, Great Xia obtained two plots of land from Atinna at a cost of "zero yuan". The "lease" period for each plot of land was as long as ninety-nine years. Two large bases were built and more than 50,000 troops were stationed there.

The reason Atinna was so eager to give away the land was naturally because he hoped to gain the protection of the Great Xia army.

But Guo Nannan changed her mind and rejected the idea: "This matter involves supernatural forces, and there are most likely powerful superhumans behind it. If we rashly let the military get involved, we might alert them."

After thinking about it, he decided to consult Wen Zehan.

With a thought, Guo Nannan conjured a ray of starlight, instantly connecting with the power of the satellite constellations.

He said quickly, "Mr. Wen, the Development Agency I'm in charge of has encountered a troublesome matter, which is very likely to involve an organization hostile to Great Xia..."

He recounted the whole story.

The starlight twinkled.

Wen Zehan's voice rang out with a smile: "Brother Guo, you don't need to be too nervous, because Mr. Ghost and Mr. Raven are also personally paying attention to the 'Pampas Independence Army'. Mr. Raven will be coming over in person soon."

Guo Nannan had a feeling of "I knew it": "No wonder the Ghost Boss gave me two powerful supernatural marks yesterday."

He then asked, "Both of you bigwigs are paying attention to the Pampas Independence Army. Is there something special about this organization?"

Wen Zehan gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, according to Mr. Lingya's speculation, the Pampas Independence Army is very likely related to a primordial perilous land."

Guo Nannan was immediately startled.

He truly never imagined that the mess he had stumbled upon today would involve a remote, primordial, perilous place.

Guo Nannan couldn't help but ask, "Azure Star has entered a gliding phase. Last time we passed through the Weeping Green Sea. Could this primordial perilous place be the next stop along the way?"

Wen Zehan laughed: "That's right!"

Guo Nannan felt a chill run down her spine.

The last time Azure Star passed by the Weeping Green Sea, a sudden global warming caused a massive flood, followed by a major earthquake and volcanic eruption.

Until last week, no more major earthquakes occurred, but small aftershocks continued to occur frequently around the world.

The earthquake triggered wave after wave of tsunamis, which swept across almost all of the world's coastlines.

As for the volcanic eruptions, a total of 526 volcanoes erupted this time, spewing huge amounts of volcanic ash into the atmosphere, causing the temperature on Azure Star to drop rapidly and black snow to fall all over the world.

Even today, although most volcanoes have "calmed down," more than 100 volcanoes still emit thick smoke day and night.

The most famous of them is Mount Taifu, the volcano of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, no, now renamed the Cherry Blossom Principality.

The volcano erupted continuously for half a month, spewing out a huge amount of lava, forming a rocky "shell" on the surface with a diameter of up to 60 kilometers.

To this day, Mount Taifu continues to spew volcanic ash without ceasing. Centered on it, the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of kilometers is covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, making it an area unsuitable for human habitation.

The eruption of Mount Taifu is expected to continue for another two to three years.

The most valuable part of the Sakura Duchy has been completely ruined, and the national economy has regressed by thirty years overnight.

According to Daxia's calculations, this series of disasters has caused a total of 1.6 million deaths, and the global population has fallen below 100 billion for the first time, with the estimated total population being less than 99 billion.

This is only because the Great Xia spent a lot of effort to rescue various countries; otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if the death toll exceeded 3 million.

These horrific statistics have never been reported by any media outlet because the sheer number of deaths—ranging from hundreds of millions to millions—easily breeds extreme pessimism and a sense of hopelessness.

Guo Nannan could hardly imagine how many disasters would be brought to Canglan Star if it passed through another primordial perilous place, and how many Canglan people would die.

But this is something that no human power can reverse.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Wen, what is the name of this primordial perilous place?"

Wen Zehan replied, "The Spirit Raven Boss said that this place is called 'The Land of Mythical Beasts,' and its area is hundreds of times larger than the Weeping Green Sea."

"Because the space of the Beast Maze is not very stable and spatial rifts are extremely easy to form, there are many civilized worlds connected to this place."

"Among the thousands of perilous places in the primordial world, the number of civilizations connected to the Beast Maze can definitely be ranked in the top three."

"After entering the Beast Maze, in addition to fighting against the bizarre and strange beasts within, various civilizations often encounter exploration teams sent by other civilizations,"

Guo Nannan was quite enlightened: "I see."

Curious, he pressed on, "Why are the monsters in the Beast Maze called 'beasts'?"

Wen Zehan laughed and said, "That's a good question. I asked the same question to Boss Lingya back then, and he said that the 'strange' in 'strange beast' doesn't refer to superpowers."

"In addition to their superpowers, the beasts generally possess a very special ability: they can mimic any superpowers they have ever seen."

Guo Nannan was not just amazed, she was shocked: "Superpowers can be imitated?"

Wen Zehan explained, "The big boss said that this is mainly because the soul of the alien beast possesses a power called 'alien element'."

"Other elements can resonate with superpowers in a strange way, causing temporary changes in the souls of alien beasts. Since the essence of superpowers is soul mutation, they can imitate superpowers."

"Every time a beast imitates a superpower, it will consume a portion of its superpower, but as long as it rests for a period of time, its superpower will be restored."

"Therefore, the abilities of strange beasts are often ever-changing, and the vast majority of them possess several abilities, making them extremely dangerous."

Wen Zehan then changed the subject: "However, the resources of the Beast Maze are very abundant, so no matter how many people die there, people from various civilizations continue to develop those resources."

Guo Nannan pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So, behind the Pampas Independence Army, there are either the alien beasts of the Beast Maze or people from other civilizations?"

Wen Zehan agreed, saying, "Yes, even the leader of Lingya tends to think this way."

Guo Nannan roughly understood the situation and steered the conversation back on track: "Mr. Wen, what should I do now to deal with Mr. Ronnie and his group?"

He humbly asked, "Could you give me some pointers?"

Wen Zehan immediately laughed: "Brother Guo, with the super-strong assistance from Mr. Ghost, you can do whatever you want."

Guo Nannan understood what he meant.

The other party is clearly implying that the Dragon Abyss Mark and the Taiyue Mark are more powerful than you think, and if you want to rush in, just go for it.

He was already very young, and now he could no longer suppress the fighting spirit that had been suppressed in his heart for so long.

The ruler of this celestial body is about to unleash a massacre today!
Guo Nannan nodded emphatically: "I understand!"

Hundreds of kilometers away.

The Andes Mountains.

This mountain range runs from south to north through the continent of Nan Jing Zhou, and can be considered the roof of this continent.

Within the territory of Atinna, northeast of the Andes Mountains lies the famous Pampas grassland, a rare fertile land on Azure Star, possessing vast amounts of black soil.

Of course, due to several years of natural disasters, there is not much vegetation left in the Pampas grasslands, so it should now be called the Pampas Plain.

Including the capital Bruns, 70% of Atinna's population and most of its industry and agriculture are concentrated in this region.

At this very moment, Yang Fan stood atop a mountain in the Andes Mountains, quietly overlooking the vast Pampas plains.

Even Wen Zehan was unaware that he had actually arrived in Atinna under the identity of Mr. Lingya.

He did not personally deal with the Pampas Independence Army, also because he did not want to alert them, which is why he sent Guo Nannan to the front.

He paid particular attention to the Pampas Independence Army because the organization had appeared in numerous scenes in the revelatory dream.

Most notably, the leader of the Independent Army was the first "Gateway" on Azure Star, meaning he was a superhuman who awakened spatial abilities.

The doorman, named Thiago, was an ambitious man who, in a dream, led the independence army to overthrow the government and was crowned King of Atinna.

Because Thiago was the one who opened the gate, all the countries' governments officially recognized his status as king.

In reality...

The Great Xia's influence entered Atinna, investing in over five hundred projects and essentially taking complete control of Atinna's economy.

For example, more than 60 variant mineral deposits have been discovered in Atinna to date, and Great Xia Mining Company has obtained mining rights for 90% of them.

For example, of the ten largest new agricultural enterprises in Atina, four are wholly owned by Daxia, with Tianxing Agriculture being one of them. The majority of the shares of the remaining six were acquired by Daxia enterprises.

For example, the logistics industry in Atinna was controlled by Daxia for more than 80%, and the retail market was also controlled for more than 70%.

To be honest, the best way out for the Atinna people right now is to honestly work for the Great Xia.

Thiago, who dreams of becoming a king, would never tolerate such behavior.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the Pampas Independence Army to target Bactria.

As early as last year.

Yang Fan then dispatched a clone to secretly enter Atina, attempting to find Thiago and nip this trouble in the bud, while also acquiring the precious spatial ability.

Unfortunately, his profound changes to the Eastern Great Xia triggered a series of chain reactions, causing a serious deviation between the real timeline and the dream timeline.

Even in the distant Atina, many changes had occurred. Following the information in his dream, he found the town where Thiago had awakened his spatial abilities and single-handedly built the independence army. He searched the town for several days and nights but could not find Thiago or any clues related to the independence army.

Left with no other choice, Yang Fan had to give up.

He had initially thought that the Pampas Independence Army might never actually appear, but he never expected that the organization would eventually emerge.

He recalled the various pieces of information the Great Xia intelligence department had about the Independent Army, and a strong feeling arose in his heart—some force had been working hard to provide assistance to Thiago.

This support is not a recent development, but rather something that has been in place for several years.

Yang Fan's eyes flashed: "It seems that the background of the Independent Army is more complicated than I thought, and may not only involve the Beast Labyrinth. No wonder I couldn't find Thiago last year."

at this time.

He suddenly felt a sense of unease and looked towards the direction of the capital, Bruno.

Guo Nannan's figure immediately came into his view.

Yang Fan glanced at it and his lips twitched: "You're not planning to come here all by yourself, are you? That's too reckless!"

Guo Nannan had changed her clothes and was wearing a disguise mask, looking like an ordinary person. She was driving a car to the hotel where the governor of Qatar Province was staying.

Atinna's transportation system is far less advanced than that of Great Xia, which has fully adopted intelligent driving vehicles, while Atinna still has a large number of manually driven vehicles.

Bruno was hit by a heavy snowfall last night, and due to the slow snow removal, there were many traffic accidents and severe traffic congestion in the city today.

In contrast, many cities in Daxia also experienced heavy snowfall, but intelligent snowplows began automatically clearing the snow in the middle of the night, and today every city remains orderly.

Yang Fan shook his head and made a prediction: "Brother! The Pampas Independence Army is not as simple as you think. You'll most likely run into trouble if you do this."

However, he did not say anything to stop it.

With his strength, making a rash move would indeed alert the enemy, causing Thiago to hide deep inside like a gopher, and then obtaining spatial abilities would not be so simple.

Having Guo Nannan take action would prevent Thiago from immediately becoming alert, and would be a good opportunity to test the strength of the Independent Army.

Brunos.

Guo Nannan, filled with unprecedented excitement, drove the vehicle into the hotel's underground parking garage.

His plan was very simple.

Step One – Braving the Dragon's Den Alone!
Step Two – Capture the King First!

Once we've caught the main culprit, we can follow the trail to uncover the Pampas Independence Army and help the big boss eradicate this cancer in one fell swoop.

Guo Nannan parked the car and pumped her fist to encourage herself: "I will make contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty!"

He took a deep breath, pushed open the door, got out of the car, and headed for the elevator.

They had only walked a dozen meters.

A sense of unease suddenly arose in Guo Nannan's mind.

wrong!

dangerous!
next moment.

"Boom! Boom!"

Gunshots suddenly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, so it's clear that a noise reduction device was installed.

Judging from the gunshots, the gunman was about 50 meters away from him.
Guo Nannan tilted her head to the side as quickly as possible.

One bullet grazed his head, while another struck his ear, instantly destroying it.

Guo Nannan felt excruciating pain and was immediately filled with shock and horror.

He knew perfectly well that if he hadn't turned his head in time, his head would have been smashed to pieces.

Guo Nannan also instantly realized something—the Pampas Independence Army was extremely powerful.

He acted on a whim, yet the other side was able to arrange two gunmen in advance in the underground parking garage, which shows that the independence army must have powerful prophets.

This alone means that the Independent Army is very difficult to deal with, no wonder the bigwigs attach so much importance to it.

on the other hand.

Under normal circumstances, he possesses a miraculous longevity star sign, and will sense danger whenever he enters the underground vault.

This time, however, he only sensed the danger the moment the gun was fired, which was clearly problematic.

Therefore, it's not hard to guess that the other party possesses some powerful means of detecting crises.

"Boom! Boom!"

Gunfire rang out once more. (End of Chapter)
