Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 919 Warfare, Military Council

VE, lacking any sense of morality, spilled popcorn everywhere, and some of it was about to get onto Song Shi.

Song Shi remained motionless. The popcorn he was about to touch turned into a wisp of smoke in mid-air. The ground was covered with popcorn, but Song Shi was completely untouched, with only one popcorn remaining in his palm.

He casually put it in his mouth, then stood up.

"The taste was so-so, it's amazing you could swallow it."

The next second, a flash of fire, and Song Shi disappeared.

VE, nestled on the sofa, raised her index finger to completely destroy the recording. Then, as if a signal had failed, she flickered and disappeared as well.

—The strategic command center of the Mangxing resettlement area.

When Song Shi pushed open the door, VE was already in place. The "King of the Abyss" did have an advantage in this regard, as the data avatar could move around freely using fiber optics.

Besides VE, there were seven other people present.

These people are the core command of the New Order Federation's expeditionary force against the Eastern Continent Republic. If the [God's Throne] were to launch an attack here at this moment, the command chain of the expeditionary force would break on the spot.

Song Shi met an acquaintance.

In the lower left corner of the conference room sat a burly and powerful man with short, bright golden hair that stood up like steel wire, and bulging muscles on his arms.

The fourth ring is [Dayuan].

“Pannoy’s Thunderous Drums”, by Siblonn Nicol.

The former military department head of the Enlightened Ones had participated in the "Spinning Machine Seizure Battle" with Song Shi, which was a great contribution on its own. And his resume as an Enlightened Ones clearly included more than just this one achievement.

Therefore, after the establishment of the New Order Federation, he was awarded the rank of general and is currently serving as the deputy commander of this expeditionary force, assisting Song Shi in his operations.

Upon seeing Song Shi enter, he nodded slightly to him, inwardly scoffing.

This Supreme Executive Committee member, a few months ago, when he had just climbed out of the Abyss, met the other party. The other party only glanced at him unconsciously, which almost triggered his lightning to surge.

Even Chaklo, who was also at the third stage of True Spirit, didn't put this much pressure on him. If the former was an indestructible, immovable diamond mountain, then Song Shi gave Xiblolon the feeling of a cataclysmic disaster that would burn the nine wildernesses, making people numb from head to toe.

Now, the other person no longer gives me that thrill.
This doesn't mean the other party has become cowardly; it only means one thing: Song Shi has passed the adaptation period after his breakthrough and has completely mastered the third stage of the True Spirit known as "Hongyuan Tianchi"!
It will no longer be like it was a few months ago, with power leaking out involuntarily from time to time.

It's fucking gotten to a fucking point!

Siblom himself came from the military. Years ago, he was dissatisfied with his superior selling the bodies of his comrades who had fought alongside him to second-hand cybernetic recyclers. So, he single-handedly stormed the military camp, fought his way to his superior, twisted his head off, and then fought his way out. After many hardships, he finally chose to join the Enlightened Ones.

He considered himself to be an absolute genius, and he was not lacking in hard work and battles. Many people were amazed by him, but compared with monsters like Chaklo Vaughn and Song Shi, and even his old boss Xu Yu, he seemed to pale in comparison.

"—Please give me a brief update. I've been in seclusion quite a bit lately, so I need to update the news."

Song Shi took his seat in the main position.

"The Vanpusta Empire has once again suppressed the chaos brought about by the Calamity and the Calamity. According to multiple pieces of evidence, it should be that Lukbor and the leader of the Silent Order personally entered the Calamity and temporarily deterred the Calamity by force." Song Shi nodded slightly. As expected, the empire had been going on this back-and-forth for a thousand years.

As for the two people mentioned, Rukbor is the Grand Inquisitor of the Imperial Court, the strongest Grand Inquisitor, and the fifth-ringed "Truth". In my memory, he is an old man who always has a scrutinizing gaze.

In my past life, when I was in the early days of the Empire, I had met him a few times by chance. Every time, I felt that this white-haired old man was about to breathe his last, but he has managed to hold on until now.

The other, the leader of the Order of the Silent, was never seen, and no one knew what he looked like. He always acted in secrecy, and even his name was never revealed. Only one title remained widely known: "The Silent One-Faced."

And, the powerful psionic energy that has reached the fifth ring, [Consensus].

"The Empire's military forces have resumed operations. They have freed up their resources, and the next large-scale offensive is already foreseeable."

"Then, the overall situation in Ye Nan is still at a stalemate. Specifically, Wu Zong suffered a loss, and the battle line was pushed back by the Bei Ting defense line. At present, the two sides have reached an agreement to set up the Ten Absolute Arena, and each side will select ten people to go on stage, ten against ten, one against one."

"Forty-seven days ago, He Xuan of 'Quiet Abyss Still Water' fought a battle with the vice leader of Feng Hao Sect to a draw. However, their battle had a detrimental effect on the deep region, forcing both sides to temporarily cease fire and wait for the regional impact to weaken."

"In addition, the Lord of [Yuanye] launched his first proactive attack. He artificially modified the environment in the area from Luoyu Mountains to Shuye County and Taihua County, creating an extremely high-risk special defensive ecosystem that has halted the advance of the four army groups in Yenan."

"Ye Nan activated the strategic-level armed 'wide-area weather control device' and bombarded it several times, but the effect was not very good."

"It would be a miracle if it worked." Song Shi commented, "If I had to say, adding Fugu Kaituo's strategic-level weapon, the 'Crustal Wave Instrument,' a pincer attack from both high and low might be what would make Hao Yin feel troubled."

Haoyin is the so-called lord of the "Yuanye".

It is part of the Pan-Eastern Continental Union, but it has never been a legitimate political entity.

This was simply the story of how "Hao Yin" grew up, fought, and pondered, becoming increasingly weary of the endless strife. Therefore, after breaking through to the fifth ring, he used his power as a "True Spirit" to claim three prefectures and provinces in the Eastern Continent, where he lived a self-sufficient, primitive life of farming and seclusion in the countryside.

Although Hao Yin had fenced off the land, he didn't stop others from coming here—or rather, he ignored them. The only requirement was that those who came must not disrupt the atmosphere.

This self-sufficient lifestyle, though austere and arduous, offered respite from the undercurrents and open conflicts of the Eastern Continent, making it very attractive to many Eastern Continent people. Furthermore, with "Hao Yin" in charge, unless someone committed a heinous crime, any Eastern Continent person who escaped would be considered dead by other forces, who wouldn't bother to arrest them.

So, over time, more and more people came to the fields of "Haoyin" and, imitating it, began to live a pastoral life. Over time, these places became home to many people—of course, in the eyes of the Eastern Continent Republic, these people no longer deserved to be called people; they were all savages.

This is what is called "Tono". Rather than a force, organization, or political entity, it is more like the name of a territory of Haoyin!

“Hey, ‘Kurong’ Haoyin, don’t be fooled by the fact that you’ve created a high-risk ecosystem now. This guy’s trump card isn’t some kind of biological frenzy.”

Song Shihao waited patiently: "The fifth ring is [Dayuan]. He started with 'wood' and later focused on the imagery of the twenty-four solar terms, finally using it to prove the higher level of 'withering and flourishing'."

"But it's alright for a while. He's too lazy to take the initiative and would rather pretend to be a wooden dummy than actually fight. Let him and Ye Nan stare at each other for a while."

"The 'space jump' has been successfully replicated. The previous plan can now be officially implemented. All levels of supernatural units will descend through the wormhole, simultaneously destroying all nodes of the [Surveillance Network] across the country."

Song Shiqing cleared his throat.

"I'm in charge of sealing off the area."
