Chapter 611: Supreme and Guardian of the Nation (Subscription Request)
The awakening of the second commander-in-chief is a major event for the entire security bureau system, and it is an even bigger event for Lin Rui himself.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he, the 'Thunder' general, was promoted by the second commander-in-chief.

Lin Rui could only ask Fang Ranran to apologize to the guests on his behalf, cancel his speech, and postpone his departure for the meeting.

When he arrived at the address Li Jianglong sent him - the Ninth Base Urban Branch of the East Asian Academy of Sciences, he saw that Li Jianglong and Zhou Yunfei had arrived before him.

Lin Rui followed Zhou Yunfei and walked inside behind Li Jianglong.

"Uncle Zhou, what's going on with our second commander-in-chief? What kind of experiment is taking so long?"

Lin Rui has actually always been very curious about the status of the second commander-in-chief. What kind of experiment is he doing?
Of course Lin Rui knew his own weight, and also knew that this was a taboo, so he never asked Zhou Yunfei about it.

However, there have been rumors recently that the Second Commander is conducting some experiment related to longevity in the abyss. The experiment seems to have failed, causing the Second Commander to be in a coma for over a year and may not wake up.

If it weren't for the fact that this War Dragon was always there, not only maintaining a high level of intelligence, but also occasionally following Zhou Yunfei for a stroll outside, the outside world would have speculated that the second commander-in-chief was gone.

Lin Rui thought that since the second commander-in-chief had woken up, this matter was relatively less sensitive, and perhaps he could find out the truth.

Zhou Yunfei hesitated whether he should say it. He naturally trusted Lin Rui, but this was the second commander-in-chief's business after all.

Li Jianglong, who was standing in front of him, spoke directly, "It's related to the Sky Curtain. Lin Tianchen found the remains of an ancient god on Tianji Star. It happened to be the concept god that Lin Tianchen was cultivating. In addition, Lin Tianchen also has a magical object that can temporarily enhance the strength of his true spirit in the Sky Curtain. It is said that when it reaches its limit, it can be increased to a level close to immortality.

So he and Academician Peng, who specialized in psychics at the East Asian Academy of Sciences, devised a plan to steal some of the ancient god's power, allowing Lin Tianchen's martial will to become conceptualized and his soul to become abyssal. However, he underestimated the ancient god's power, and not only was his alien body trapped in the ruins, but his true spirit was also trapped.

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows: "So the second commander has escaped now?"

"Escape? His true spirit has been captured by the ancient god. How can it be so easy to escape?" Li Jianglong sneered. "King Kou Xuan and I have only managed to return his main consciousness to his body. However, his true spirit is still trapped in the ancient god's kingdom in the sky, and his other body is in the ruins on Tianji Star. He is in a very difficult situation now. If he doesn't retrieve his true spirit quickly, he will perish sooner or later."

Li Jianglong shook his head at this point, and said with a sigh: "This guy is actually quite unlucky."

If Lin Tianchen had not taken the risk of doing this experiment and had not gone through so much trouble, he could have changed into a brand new colonial outfit now and have a chance of immortality in the future.

In Li Jianglong's judgment, the new technology developed by the Ruifang Colonization Biology Research Institute can indeed help them overcome some of the obstacles to "immortality".

Zhou Yunfei's face turned pale.

His authority in the Security Bureau is now solid, and he himself is an Eighth Realm Super Emperor, possessing the sniping ability of the Eighth Realm Emperor, and was promoted to a one-star marshal in the Security Bureau!
Even without the support of the second commander-in-chief, he can now stand firm.

So at this moment, Zhou Yunfei was purely worried about the safety of his old boss.

Lin Rui looked thoughtfully at the direction where Tianji Star was currently located.

The sky curtain?
All martial artists and colonial martial artists, when advancing to the ninth realm, need to integrate the most core part of their primordial spirit into the sky curtain, thus opening the ladder for further ascension.

This state is called "Divine Illumination", and the part that merges into the sky is called "True Spirit".

Initially, Lin Rui only knew that the true spirit of a martial artist was integrated into the sky, which was a bit like people registering accounts in online forums to gain higher browsing privileges. Later, he learned from Luo Wangshu that this was the only way for a martial artist to conceptualize his martial arts, and they must also use this method to resist the pull from their 'roots'.

Lin Rui also heard from Linghu Mingde that the early colonial martial artists were actually very hesitant about integrating their true spirits into the sky.

Federal scientists also continued to fail in their research on the 'Sky Curtain' and the 'Divine Light'. They tried every possible method, but were unable to allow colonial warriors to enter the Ninth Realm.

At this time, the colonial martial artists were very eager for power, and secondly, they discovered that their lifespan was closely related to the sky.

When a colonial warrior reaches the eighth realm, his life form is already very powerful. Under normal circumstances, he can live for four to five thousand years. With the help of the Federation's biotechnology, thirty to fifty thousand years is also easy.

However, among the first generation of alien-body practitioners, many martial artists in the eighth realm whose souls were damaged suffered the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man and died one after another.

The essence of the so-called Five Degenerations of Heavenly Beings is actually that the human spirit, soul and spiritual essence are sucked and devoured by the "root". The soul is unable to integrate so many high-purity ether elements, nor can it maintain the high-purity true essence in its heyday.

Therefore, it is imperative that God illuminates the sky!
If Linghu Mingde had not met Lin Rui, he would have died of the five decays of heaven and man.

After he recovered, he immediately used his divine power to illuminate the sky and stabilize his soul.

Li Jianglong said that Lin Tianchen's true spirit was trapped in the ancient god's kingdom? That would be a very bad situation.

Soon after, they walked into a laboratory building that was guarded by an alloy wall less than 12 meters high and looked like a military fortress.

The alloy walls were densely packed with top-tier turrets, all top-tier models, and numerous advanced combat robots guarded the interior. Lin Rui even spotted four Starscream 4SSSs—real Starscream 9s, not the emasculated 9Pros.

The Dragon Slayer has a balanced offense and defense, which is closest to the real Ninth Realm; the combat AI of the King and the Lord is very strong, and can mobilize the combat power of the combat robots to the greatest extent.

However, when it comes to guarding the house, Red Spider is more suitable and has greater modification redundancy.

Li Jianglong had no trouble coming and going here, and he led them all the way to an alloy door in the deepest part of the experimental building.

Li Jianglong swiped his retina at the door, and the alloy door opened to both sides with a "click".

Lin Rui saw the second commander-in-chief Lin Tianchen - one of the founders of the Security Bureau. His full-length image was hung on the wall of the main conference room of the Ninth Branch. It was impossible for Lin Rui not to recognize him.

This is a man with delicate features, a thin face, and an elegant temperament. He is currently sitting at a desk, concentrating on looking at the many virtual screens projected in front of him.

These screens are stacked one upon another, totaling eighty-one in number, and they are also refreshing and switching rapidly.

Lin Rui took a quick look and found that they were all old news.

The second-in-command was obviously using this method to understand the changes in external affairs during the more than one year he had been asleep.

At this time, Lin Tianchen also looked over at them, his expression filled with annoyance and helplessness: "Li Jianglong, are you tampering with my security program again? Um——"

Lin Tianchen's gaze immediately focused on Lin Rui: "Are you Lin Rui? Also the hidden crown prince of the Song Dynasty, Lin Hao, and the son of Fu Xuexian?"

The First Commander was not surprised to hear this. Lin Tianchen was like this: when the country is in crisis, one needs a good general.

Lin Rui's mother, Fu Xuexian, is the most talented and outstanding scholar in the federal soul field in the past 20 years.

Research and development capabilities are not determined by titles. Although Fu Xuexian is not even a candidate for academician, she is extremely knowledgeable and proficient in three major fields: soul, electromagnetism and computer programming. During her lifetime, she was a 6SSS-level colonial warrior, and it is said that she may have reached 6SSS+. Her thinking, calculation and hands-on ability alone are not comparable to Academician Peng.

If Fu Xuexian was in charge of Lin Tianchen's project this time, perhaps the result would be different.

"Don't think about Fu Xuexian. It's useless to ask Fu Xuexian for help in your invasion of the Ancient God Kingdom. Even a true Tenth Realm Immortal wouldn't dare to rashly enter the Ancient God Kingdom. But you, on the other hand, listened to Academician Peng's nonsense. He's only at the Sixth Realm, and all his research on the abyss is just a fortress built on sand."

Li Jianglong walked in and found a chair, then sat down. "Let's think about how to pull your true spirit out of the Ancient God's Kingdom."

Lin Tianchen frowned upon hearing this and said with a wry smile, "How can this be easy? Now, if someone wants to pull my true spirit out of the kingdom of God, apart from the eight abysses, there are only the three 'Supreme Divine Artifacts' and the five 'National Divine Artifacts'. Even immortals are powerless to do anything else."

Lin Tianchen couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

He was truly courting death this time, not only awakening the ancient god, but also nourishing him with the energy and blood of his own alien body.
Lin Rui also thought that this second marshal had a bleak future and was probably doomed to die.

Lin Rui is also a demigod who controls conceptual power, but when he shines upon the sky and has the power to influence it, even the daylily is cold.
If Lin Rui wanted to cultivate from the sixth realm to the ninth realm, even with the help of the War Spirit Ring, it would take several years.

As for his method of purification, it is not omnipotent.

Zhou Yunfei's face turned pale as he realized that his boss's condition was worse than he had imagined.

"So I brought Xiao Rui here this time."

Li Jianglong raised his lips slightly. "You know his current identity, right? The Hidden Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty."

Lin Tianchen was puzzled when he heard this. Lin Rui did hold great power in the Song Dynasty.

However, no matter how powerful this person is, no matter how he can cover the sky with one hand, he cannot guarantee that his true spirit will not be polluted by the ancient gods, let alone pull his true spirit out of the ancient gods' kingdom.

"I've thought about it carefully, and there's one thing we might still be able to get: the Song Dynasty's sacred treasure—the Imperial Seal!"

Li Jianglong smiled slightly: "If the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not in the capital at this time, then the Eastern Abyss would most likely choose Lin Hao as the regent of the Song Dynasty instead of choosing from among the Emperor's descendants."

He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Even if the Eastern Abyss has no intention of appointing Lin Hao as regent, we must find a way to make this happen."

When the people in the laboratory heard this, they looked at each other with strange looks in their eyes.

The corners of Lin Rui's lips twitched slightly, and he thought that Li Jianglong was so bold that he even started to plot against the Eastern Abyss and the Emperor of Song Dynasty.
