I can find treasures in my dreams.

"Xiao Cang!"

Yang Fan murmured to himself.

A cloud of extremely green mist, shaped like a tree branch, appeared out of nowhere in the green world.

This is a branch from a World Tree sapling.

This thing also has a name—World Branch.

Not all branches of the World Tree can be called "World Branches." Only branches that embody certain laws can be given that name.

Today, Xiaocang has grown hundreds of branches, but there are only three branches in the world.

"rustle!"

The World Branch swayed gently, and invisible green filaments emerged from it, inserting themselves into the remaining beastly aura of the Independent Army's corpses and beginning to extract the mark of the Lost Land.

Yang Fan watched intently.

As a descendant of a demigod, Xiao Cang was born with such magical abilities.

In contrast, even though he was a powerful knight, he didn't know how to extract the mark.

The minced meat transformed from the parasitic brain beast became the primary target of the green filaments' "care".

As the filaments swayed, a miniature, illusory beast was pulled out.

"Wow~Wow~"

It makes a sound similar to the cry of a human baby.

The World Branch swayed even more violently, and more filaments shot out, piercing the miniature beast's body from different angles.

A few seconds later.

A mysterious point of light was extracted from the beast's body.

Xiao Cang sent a message at just the right time: "If I collect four more times the number of Lost Land Marks, I will be able to lock onto the Lost Land of Beasts and forcibly open a temporary rift leading to the Lost Land."

Yang Fan asked a question: "How far is this rift from the 'Secret Void Rift' that Thiago has mastered?"

Xiao Cang replied, "Each spatial rift has a unique spatial imprint, and the souls of creatures that pass through the same rift will bear the same imprint."

"Therefore, the marks of the Lost Lands that I collect will also contain the imprint of the Secret Void Rift, so the temporary rifts I open will naturally be attracted by the Secret Void Rifts."

"There is a greater than 99% probability that this rift will be located near the Secret Void Rift, with the distance between the two at most 50 kilometers."

Yang Fan immediately laughed: "Very good!"

On Azure Star, due to interference from the world's will of Atinna, he was unable to find the Secret Void Rift.

However, the alien beasts were not disturbed at all, and it was almost easy to find the secret rift in the narrow space, which was only fifty kilometers away.

Thiago and his team never expected that there would be a "reverse" search for rifts.

When that time comes, he will give Thiago a huge surprise.

Yang Fan turned to General Liu and ordered, "Make the Pampas Independent Army the highest priority in all matters in Nan Jingzhou. All departments should do their utmost to hunt down the Independent Army's superhumans."

For such trivial matters, he doesn't need to lift a finger. He only needs to issue an order, and the state machinery will start running at full speed. He just needs to wait patiently.

General Liu immediately raised his hand in salute: "Yes, sir!"

Yang Fan instructed, "The body of the Spirit Beast contains many active substances. Some of these substances should have a remarkable effect on stimulating mental growth. Airlift the corpse back to the Supernatural Ability Research Institute for research."

General Liu was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Yes!"

Everyone knows that things that stimulate mental growth are relatively rare.

From this perspective, the Parasitic Brain Beast can be considered a strategic resource.

*
Early in the morning.

When Guo Nannan regained consciousness, Karina was no longer beside her.

In the past few days, he and his new female secretary have entered a very intimate phase, sometimes even having sex several times a day.

He knew perfectly well that, according to the mission assigned to him by the country, Karina would only stay by his side for another month before being sent to the mainland of Great Xia.

The next female secretary, or rather, the person she'll conceive, is definitely undergoing final intensive training to prepare for her "job."

From the nation's perspective, if even one of his children becomes a knight-level powerhouse, then the stallion plan will be considered a great success.

As the executor of the stallion program, he might even receive a national award.

Guo Nannan stared blankly for a while, then sighed, "What an absurd era! Even having children is like an assembly line."

He quickly got up, dressed, and washed up, then went into the study and sat down at his desk.

He had just sat down.

The study door was pushed open.

Karina walked in with a tray on which was a steaming hot breakfast on it, and said with a smile, "Chief, breakfast is served."

The female secretary had clearly timed the breakfast perfectly, as the first thing he did every morning for the past few days was to check on news about the Pampas Independence Army.

She was wearing rather revealing pajamas, with large expanses of white skin exposed, making it clear that she was looking forward to some intimacy.

But Guo Nannan wasn't really interested.

He turned to look at the other person, nodded slightly, and said, "Put it here."

Karina was slightly disappointed, but she still obediently put down the breakfast and left the study.

Guo Nannan picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and opened today's summary of information, quickly scanning it. "The interdimensional fusion phenomenon has ended, the North Island space labyrinth was completely closed yesterday, the North Island war has ended, and all national armies have withdrawn."

In fact, the number of poisonous ants entering the spatial maze had already begun to decrease drastically a week ago, and the poisonous ant disaster was almost coming to an end.

Guo Nannan knew very well that the ant plague in the primordial world was not over.

This is because the Poison Ants have adjusted their strategy, abandoning the difficult-to-attack civilized worlds and concentrating their main forces on the relatively weak civilized worlds. Therefore, more civilizations will be completely wiped out like the Xuanjia Civilization.

From this perspective, as many civilized worlds have speculated, the primordial world seems to have been consciously eliminating a portion of civilizations.

Guo Nannan's gaze continued to move, and she saw a lot of information related to poisonous ants.

"The first-grade heterogeneous deformable metal extracted from the carapace of the iron-armed poisonous ant can slowly recover after deformation. It has both extremely high hardness and toughness and has high value in military, engineering and other fields."

"An extract derived from the body of the Giant Poison Ant can be prepared into a first-class medicine called 'Giant Strength Medicine,' which can greatly enhance the power of strength or inner force for a certain period of time and has high practical value."

"A special component extracted from the brain matter of eyeless poisonous ants can be used to refine a first-class potion called the Blindness Potion. This potion also has the remarkable effect of assisting in the awakening of mental abilities and has extremely high value."

There are at least a dozen such messages.

obviously.

In the North Island War, Da Xia repelled the swarms of poisonous ants. Although many soldiers died in the battle, they also gained a great deal.

According to statistics, the militaries of various countries killed more than 120 million poisonous ants in the space maze. The Great Xia accounted for 88% of them, and the rest were divided up among various countries.

However, more than 95% of the high-value targets fell into the hands of the Great Xia people.

Guo Nannan quickly flipped through more than a dozen pages and finally found a piece of information related to the Pampas Independence Army.

"According to the information provided by Mr. L, the Blood Flag Legion successfully destroyed an independent army stronghold in the province of Katama, killing eight superhumans on the spot and arresting two superhumans, but the arrested individuals subsequently committed suicide through secret methods."

Guo Nannan's lips curled up slightly.

Because he knew that the so-called "Mr. L" was none other than Mr. Ronnie, the highest-ranking official in the province of Qatar.

He had previously invited Ronnie to watch the press conference for the miracle drug Dawn, a treatment for cancer, and secretly tampered with Ronnie's soul.

When Ronnie returned to the province of Qatar, Mr. Wen Zehan found an important clue with the help of satellite astronomy, and subsequently successfully located the Independent Army's stronghold.

Guo Nannan still had a deep reflection in her mind: "The last time I rushed into the underground parking garage with a sword and shield by myself, I was such a fucking idiot."

"The saying goes that a son of a wealthy family should not sit under a dangerous roof. As a dignified master of the stars, unless forced into a dead end, why should I foolishly rush in and risk my life?"

"This time, dealing with the Independent Army must have been ordered by Mr. Lingya, so the correct approach is to follow Mr. Lingya's example."

"That is, to use the immense power of the state apparatus and mobilize the many elites of Great Xia to work together to crush the Independent Army head-on."

Guo Nannan suddenly realized: "I need to learn more about the big shots' perspective. When doing things, one should focus on the big picture, rather than just paying attention to one corner or one part. So this is the right way for someone in a position of power to act."

at this time.

He suddenly felt as if some kind of shackles had been removed, and he felt an inexplicable sense of ease throughout his body.

"Click! Click!"

The sound of the illusion shattering followed.

A star mark within the soul, the Longevity Star, began to slowly grow stronger.

Guo Nannan immediately noticed the change, and a huge surge of joy welled up in her heart.

In addition, he had a new realization: "I suddenly comprehended the celestial phenomena of longevity and suddenly ascended to a high position. In fact, I was always at a loss deep down, and my mind was thus burdened with a shackle."

"Now that I have experienced a series of events, I truly understand what the responsibilities of those in positions of power are. This has indirectly broken the shackles on my mind, freed the constellations of longevity, and thus allowed the power of the constellations to grow."

Guo Nannan raised a finger, and a glint of starlight flashed at the fingertip.

He said softly, "Mr. Wen, thank you very much for your help."

He understood perfectly well that Mr. Wen had helped him overcome his mental obstacles through this subtle and gradual method; otherwise, the Longevity Star Chart would have continued to stagnate.

The starlight twinkled.

Wen Zehan's voice immediately rang out: "The person you should really thank is Mr. Lingya. He saw the big problem hidden in your heart."

"That's why the big boss asked you to join the plan to fight the Pampas Independence Army, and then guided you to solve your mental dilemma."

Wen Zehan paused for a moment, then said, "The Ghost Boss and the Spirit Raven Boss have helped at least a thousand people with superpowers in the Great Xia Dynasty. You are just one of them. In a sense, the two Bosses are the true guides of the entire superpower community in the Great Xia Dynasty."

Guo Nannan was completely convinced: "The two big shots have indeed made great contributions to Great Xia!"

Wen Zehan smiled and said, "Your astrological power has made a breakthrough, and you will benefit greatly. I estimate that you should be able to break through the first barrier within a week at most."

Guo Nannan also had a strong feeling: "It will take about four or five days."

He then asked a question: "The briefing said that the Great Xia Navy will hold a military exercise near the Mavina Islands tomorrow. Is this an operation specifically targeting the Pampas Independence Army?"

Wen Zehan agreed: "That's right! There are signs that the Independent Army has controlled a lot of marine life with the help of alien beasts. Although they are very well hidden, we have still found some clues."

"If the Great Xia Navy appears in the Mavina Islands, there is a very high probability that they will launch an attack. That's why Mr. Lingya decided to set a trap and wait for the independence army to walk right into it."

Guo Nannan said "Oh," indicating a deeper understanding of "how to allocate resources and how to formulate strategies."

He could easily imagine that the Pampas Independent Army would be overjoyed to learn of the Great Xia Navy's movements, believing that they could take the opportunity to catch the Great Xia army off guard and get revenge.

In reality, the independence army was led by the nose by the big boss from beginning to end.

What is a leader?

That's what a leader is! (End of Chapter)
