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

"Good lad, well said! I love that kind of spirit!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qiong grinned, her eyes practically overflowing with admiration!

Gu Xu's confidence might seem arrogant to outsiders.

But in Su Qiong's eyes, she had a strong personality.

Why is their God-Slaying Legion called an insane asylum?

That's because the people in the legion are all fearless!

Even if the road ahead is difficult, they dare to move forward!

"Report! Prepare for landing!"

The pilot's voice came from the cockpit.

The fighter jets began their dive, piercing through the thick haze, and landed at Beichuan City Airport.

……

The fighter jet had just come to a stop, and the hatch was not yet fully open.

A chilling atmosphere immediately enveloped us.

There was no welcoming honor guard on the wide tarmac as usual.

There were only a few dark green armored off-road vehicles and a group of well-equipped, solemn-looking high-level professionals guarding the area.

At the very front stood an elderly man dressed in a Zhongshan suit.

It was undoubtedly Zhang Daoxuan himself.

Seeing that Minister Zhang was actually waiting for them in person, Su Qiong, Jiang Shu, and the others were shocked and quickly straightened their military uniforms.

He walked quickly down the gangway.

"minister!"

Su Qiong strode forward and gave a standard military salute.

Zhang Daoxuan nodded slightly, his gaze passing over the female general he valued so much and landing on the young man who was slowly walking down behind him.

Admittedly, this was not the first time he had met Gu Xu.

But he could sense it...

The aura emanating from this young man is countless times stronger than the last time.

"Xiao Gu!"

Zhang Daoxuan didn't put on any airs.

Instead, he stepped forward, a kind yet authoritative smile on his face: "You made quite a commotion just now!"

"It really gave this old man a fright!"

"Minister, I'm sorry for the trouble."

Gu Xu remained composed, showing neither the trepidation of being flattered nor the arrogance of youth.

He greeted the elder as if he were speaking to an ordinary person: "Of course, I also have to thank the country for the opportunity and the military for their support, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to upgrade to the second tier so quickly."

"Heh, that's your own skill. The government and the military just did what they were supposed to do."

Zhang Daoxuan gave Gu Xu a deep look, then cut to the chase without beating around the bush: "This isn't the place to talk, but there are some things I'd like to confirm with you first."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the direction in the northern suburbs that was still shrouded in darkness.

"Just now, about half an hour ago."

"The black mist that was originally spiraling out of control was suddenly suppressed by some high-level power, forcing it to stop expanding and even begin to shrink."

"At the same time, an indescribable divine phenomenon appeared in the sky above Dachang City."

The old man looked at Gu Xu and asked seriously, "That power, you created it, didn't you?"

Although the answer was already found in the monitoring data.

But he still wanted to hear the boy's confirmation with his own ears.

This is because it concerns not only the survival of Beichuan, but also the future destiny of the Shenxia Empire.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Su Qiong held her breath, and the high-ranking guards around her also pricked up their ears.

Gu Xu glanced in that direction.

She glanced again at Zhang Daoxuan's expectant eyes.

He did not deny it.

"I guess you could say it's me."

Gu Xu nodded, his tone relaxed: "When I completed my first advancement, I did notice the commotion over there, so I glanced over there briefly."

Gu Xu was also a cautious person, and he was very careful when speaking, especially when speaking to his superiors.

Don't make promises you can't keep.

Upon hearing this answer, a slight smile appeared on Zhang Daoxuan's tense face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The old man said "good" three times.

It seems to be correct.

Rules can only be suppressed by higher-level rules.

Lin Yuan's rules of death are strong.

But those are rules for the "dead".

And this young man in front of me has mastered it.

It is a "calamity" and "past" that transcend life and death!

Such rules...

It is clearly above the rules of that Calamity Realm.

This boy has great potential...

That can end this chaos.

"Gu Xu, I represent the Empire, and the thirty million people of Beichuan Province!"

"I need your help with something."

As he said this, Zhang Daoxuan's expression became extremely solemn: "Currently, Lin Yuan, the ninth-tier Saint of the Empire, is suffering from the backlash of the rules and is still inside, unable to emerge!"

"And the influence of the secret realm continues to increase!"

"If this trend continues, it won't be long before the entire Beichuan City, and even the entire Beichuan Province, is affected by the Calamity Realm, turning it into a wasteland!"

"This will have a huge impact on the entire Divine Xia Empire!"

"After comprehensive consideration by the Imperial Command, you are probably the only one in the entire Divine Xia, and even the entire Blue Star, capable of handling this [Red and White Clash] secret realm."

Zhang Daoxuan raised his head, his eyes burning: "I beg you, take action to conquer this calamity-level secret realm, completely sever this ghostly hand reaching into the human world, and restore peace and order to my Divine Xia Empire!"

These words moved everyone present.

Everyone's eyes were on it...

All of this converged on Gu Xu.

Without a doubt, the entire responsibility of saving Beichuan Province is now placed on this young man.

This burden is too heavy!

"no problem."

But to everyone's surprise, Gu Xu did not hesitate at all.

He simply nodded.

This surprised Zhang Daoxuan, who had prepared a whole host of persuasive words.

"You... you agreed?"

"certainly."

Gu Xu straightened his cuffs, his expression calm: "I am also a soldier of the Empire, receiving a national stipend. When something like this happens, I have an inescapable duty."

"and……"

At this point, Gu Xu chuckled softly, "Like I said before, that thing does look quite nourishing. I'm also interested in seeing just how good this so-called calamity-level secret realm really is!"

"Good! That's ambitious!"

Zhang Daoxuan patted Gu Xu's shoulder forcefully, his eyes full of admiration and satisfaction: "Since you've agreed, I can't be stingy."

"This mission can be considered a top-tier operation."

"If you can successfully resolve this crisis, dismantle that ghost palanquin and reclaim the secret realm."

Zhang Daoxuan raised a finger, his tone firm and resolute: "I've decided, you're directly promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff of the Divine Xia Empire's God-Slaying Legion! You'll be awarded the rank of Senior Colonel!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly taken aback.

Especially Su Qiong, Jiang Shu, and Zhang Xinxin.

The facial expressions on their faces should be as expressive as possible.

He rose four ranks in a row, from captain to senior colonel!

This is a height that countless people, countless military veterans, cannot reach even after a lifetime of accumulating military merits!

An eighteen-year-old senior colonel, and the deputy chief of staff of a powerful department!

This means that from now on, the entire Sheikha military will be involved.

Gu Xu can walk sideways.
