The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Gu Xu stood there for a while, thinking, feeling that the information in his mind was a jumbled mess.

After all, each of these pieces of information might be easy to explain if taken out of context.

But the problem is that now that things are all mixed up, the nature of the matter is not so simple.

Fortunately, Gu Xu has one advantage: he never makes wild analyses without sufficient information.

If you can fight, then fight. Put aside what you can't figure out for now and get the job done first.

Gu Xu took a breath, suppressing his chaotic thoughts, and turned to walk out of the temple.

Thinking too much is useless; the current situation is clear enough.

There were only two things he could do: first, take the head of the Elven High Priest Elonis before those guys arrived.

Second, prepare to confront the regular army of the Devouring Dimension.

As for the so-called "reverse seizure of power"—you'd have to beat the person down first.

Gu Xu pushed open the temple door, and the night wind rushed in. The sentries at the door stood at attention and saluted. He waved his hand and walked towards the teahouse.

As he passed through an alley, he paused, took out his communicator, pressed a few keys, and the communicator beeped twice before Jiang Shu's voice came through.

"Legion Commander? Have you finished accepting the mission?"

"All done."

Gu Xu held the communicator in his hand and said calmly, "Notify Su Qiong, Li Tiezhu, Lin Yuan, Bai Ye, and Song Zhiyao to meet on the second floor of the teahouse in ten minutes."

"Huh? So rushed?"

Jiang Shu was taken aback: "What happened?"

Gu Xu didn't answer the question, but instead added, "Bring a complete map of the Elven Plane. Especially the location of the Emerald Palace, mark it clearly."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Shu was a smart woman, and she sensed something was wrong from Gu Xu's tone.

This is not the same legion commander who was all smiles and smirking while thinking about cutting down trees to sell for money.

The tone was so serious it was almost unbelievable.

"clear!"

The communicator was disconnected. Gu Xu put it back in his pocket and continued walking towards the teahouse.

When he returned to the teahouse and opened the door, everyone was already there, and their eyes almost simultaneously fell on Gu Xu.

However, just as Su Qiong was about to ask what had happened, she was shocked to find that Gu Xu's expression was a little off.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason.

After all, they had worked together for so long, and she knew Gu Xu's personality very well. For him to look so serious, something must have happened.

The others naturally also sensed the change in Gu Xu's aura.

Gu Xu slowly walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Interlace your fingers and place your hands on the table.

He didn't rush to speak, but instead looked down at the elven plane map that Jiang Shu had brought up. The location of the Emerald Palace was marked with a red box, about three thousand kilometers away from Falling Cloud City.

A vast expanse of the Elf Forest lies in the middle, with at least four known lines of defense.

"I have some news to share with everyone."

Gu Xu stared at the map for a long time before speaking in a serious tone: "To put it simply, the nature of our interdimensional training exercise is no longer so simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present unconsciously raised an eyebrow.

"Commander, what does this mean?"

"Wasn't the plan to just take the Jade Palace and be done with it? Has the order been changed?"

Li Tiezhu opened his mouth, but finally asked the question.

"It wasn't changed by the higher-ups."

Gu Xu shook his head, tapped the map on the table with his index finger, and placed his fingertip on the red circle of the Emerald Palace: "It's my fifth job advancement quest that told me this."

Fifth job advancement quest.

Upon hearing those four words, everyone present subtly shifted their expressions.

Everyone present knew this.

What does Gu Xu's job change quest mean?

From the first to the fourth job advancement, the content of each mission is directly linked to certain major events in this world.

The task the system assigns to you determines the direction the world will take.

This is not a coincidence; it's a pattern.

Gu Xu didn't keep them in suspense and directly repeated the three mission objectives word for word.

"First, kill Elonis, the elven high priest of the Emerald Court."

"Secondly, defeat the Devouring God Clan army that is advancing towards the Starfall Rift Abyss, and devour the Devouring God Clan's agent, Munedimi."

"The third method is to seize the authority of Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Dimensions, in reverse."

He spoke calmly, as if reciting a menu, but the contents of this "menu" shocked everyone present.

Li Tiezhu's expression changed from doubt to solemnity, and then from solemnity to stiffness.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, pulled his hand out of his pocket, and let it hang at his side.

Bai Ye's smile vanished, and his expression turned unusually serious.

The others also subconsciously restrained their movements.

For a good ten seconds, the teahouse was silent.

For those ten seconds or so, no one moved, no one spoke, and even their breathing was deliberately lowered.

They were all clearly processing the news with their minds racing.

Indeed, everyone here is among the best of the Sherlock Holmes professionals, and you are all well aware of the nature of the Calamity Army. It was established to conquer the stars and to target the false gods, and you are all prepared to face them.

Little did I expect that this day would come so soon.

After all, everyone present was well aware of the weight of the words "Lord of the Devouring Dimensions" and "the regular army of the Devouring Dimensions God Clan".

What was the size of the Northern League back then?

A nation strong in professionalism, with a profound foundation and abundant high-level combat power.

The results of it?

The Devouring Dimension Clan only sent their kin forces, yet they wiped the entire alliance off the map.

If the families are all like that, what kind of concept would the regular army be?

Needless to say, when the projection of Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Dimensions, crossed the sea of ​​stars and descended upon the Blue Star plane, just thinking about that scene still sent chills down their spines.

Gu Xu naturally took in everyone's expressions, and then said calmly, "I know that anyone would be stunned by this news, but the problem is now right in front of us."

"Whether it's the elven high priest or the regular army of the Devouring Dimensions, they won't wait for us just because we're not prepared."

"Fortunately, we know this news, which is much better than those guys catching us off guard."

Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement, clearly showing their strong support.

Yes, if they hadn't known this news beforehand.

When they finally reached the Emerald Palace, conquered the Elven race, and relaxed their vigilance, the appearance of the army of the Devouring Gods was a truly disastrous event.

If things go wrong, the entire Calamity Army could suffer heavy losses.

Knowing this news now at least gives them some time to analyze the situation and prepare a response.
