Zhang Daoxuan also raised his hand in salute.

Although he didn't say much, the approval and satisfaction in his eyes said it all.

Gu Xu waved his hand, as if to say "Don't be so polite": "It's all part of our job. Besides, it's mainly the older folks who are taking the lead."

As I said before, Gu Xu is a humble person.

It was at this moment that Su Qiong stepped out from the crowd. She did not shout like Jiang Shu, nor did she salute formally like Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo.

She simply walked quietly to Gu Xu and stopped in front of him.

Her long, fiery red hair swayed gently in the morning breeze.

The two exchanged a glance.

He didn't speak.

But some things can be understood without being said.

For example, sometimes all you need to say is a look when you say "You're back".

The next second, Su Qiong took a step forward and put her arm around Gu Xu's shoulder.

Gu Xu was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and gently hugged him back.

The movements were minor and the duration was short.

But to onlookers, this scene is enough to make them swoon.

Especially Jiang Shu next to her, her lips pouted almost instantly, the curve of which was almost like a duck's upturned beak.

"Commander!"

She couldn't help but speak up, her tone full of accusation: "You're so biased!!"

"I lunged at you, and you retreated as if you were avoiding a plague."

"As soon as Sister Qiong came over, you immediately opened your arms to her? Is that reasonable? Is that fair? I don't accept it!"

Gu Xu released his hand and glanced at her sideways.

"..."

Jiang Shu opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.

Forget it, I'd better not say anything more!

So she just snorted, turned her head away, and muttered, "Favoritism, so much favoritism, this legion has no human rights..."

Su Qiong ignored Jiang Shu's complaints. She released Gu Xu and took a step back, scanning him up and down to make sure he was indeed unharmed before nodding slightly.

"It's alright," she said.

It was just two words, but everyone could hear the relief in his tone.

Gu Xu grinned and said nothing more.

At this moment, Wang Cang and the other two landed on the ground.

The three old men were not in good condition; they all had some injuries and their breathing was much weaker than usual.

Tang Yi, in particular, had wiped away the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, but his face was still somewhat pale.

Not to mention Old Ge, he even walks a bit unsteadily.

But the three of them were in surprisingly good spirits, their eyes even carrying an indescribable excitement and anticipation.

The reason is simple...

In each of their storage spaces, a divine source heart radiating seven-colored light lay quietly.

Seeing the three men's condition, Li Weiguo quickly stepped forward: "Old Wang, are you three alright? Should we arrange for you to go to the medical center first?"

Wang Cang waved his hand, his rough hand gesturing in the air: "It's not that delicate, it's just a superficial injury, it'll heal in a few days."

"There are some things I need to tell you right away."

Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan exchanged a glance, and seeing Wang Cang's serious expression, they also stopped smiling.

"Please speak, Mr. Wang."

At this moment, Zhang Daoxuan spoke first.

He glanced at Wang Cang and the other two.

She glanced at Gu Xu again, and finally her gaze settled on the giant seven-colored gate behind her.

"Old Wang, what's inside this secret realm...?"

He considered his words carefully: "What exactly is it?"

"The intelligence we've received so far is very limited; all we know is that it's extremely dangerous inside..."

"But the specific output and value still need to be confirmed by you personally."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang took a deep breath.

His gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan.

"Hard?"

Wang Cang suddenly laughed and shook his head, "I can't say I've worked hard."

He turned to look at Gu Xu, who was standing to the side with his hands in his pockets, his gaze complicated: "The fact that Shenxia has gained anything this time is all thanks to Gu kid."

"If it weren't for him, the three of us old bones would definitely have died in that godforsaken place."

These words were spoken in a very plain manner, but those who know Wang Cang understand them.

It was something that made this old general, who had guarded the border for half his life, say the words "100%".

The level of danger there is beyond the limits of normal people's imagination.

"The dangers of this journey..."

Wang Cang paused, his brows furrowing deeply, as if recalling those scenes: "It surpasses all the battles I've experienced in my life, more than ten thousand times."

The atmosphere instantly became tense upon hearing this.

Jiang Shu also closed her mouth, and the playful look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by seriousness and tension.

Su Qiong frowned slightly.

Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Inside..."

At this moment, Elder Ge also spoke up, his voice hoarse, his tone carrying a sense of relief after surviving a catastrophe: "There are beings that our entire plane can't even imagine."

"A Sun God Lord surpassing the Origin level, chaotic weapons forged by transcendent beings, and a star-based air force composed of hundreds of billions of cannon fodder exceeding level 100..."

"Tens of billions?!"

Li Weiguo's pupils suddenly contracted.

"right."

Tang Yi replied in a deep voice: "Several hundred billion!"

These words were like bricks, crashing down on everyone's hearts one after another.

For a moment, no one spoke.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

After a short while, Zhang Daoxuan came to his senses. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and spoke again: "Then... what about the core output of the secret realm?"

"Elder Wang, since this secret realm can give birth to monsters of this level, what are its resources—"

"The Secret Heart of the Divine Source".

Wang Cang stated it directly: "It is what we usually call the Source of God."

"A demigod, the key to advancing to the Origin level."

The moment those words were spoken, it was as if all the air in the entire venue had been sucked out.

Everyone present, whether they knew about it or not.

Whether it's the special operations team members standing to the side or the professionals on guard in the distance.

At that moment, everyone's brains simultaneously went blank.

The source of God.

What does this three-word phrase mean when placed across the entire Blue Star plane?

That's just a legend.

It's a myth.

It is the ultimate dream that countless demigods may never be able to reach, even if they spend their entire lives trying.

It is something that any country would risk its entire national fortune to fight for.

And now, Wang Cang tells them—

Could this kind of thing be produced in this high-dimensional secret realm that landed on the land of Shenxia?

"Old Wang... Old Wang."

Li Weiguo's throat was a little dry. He swallowed, his voice trembling slightly, "Are you telling the truth? Is there really a source of divinity in this secret realm?"

"I have a copy."

As Wang Cang spoke, he flipped his palm over.

A crystal the size of a pigeon egg, shimmering with iridescent light, appeared in his palm.

That soft yet mysterious light instantly entered the pupils of everyone present.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

"hiss……"

Then, gasps of shock echoed throughout the entire cordoned-off area.
