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

As the Major General Chief of Staff of the Godslayer Legion.

At this point, she had no way out.

That was her battlefield, those were her brothers, and those were the countless lights of homes she had to protect.

However, the moment Su Qiong took that step...

She suddenly stopped.

She subconsciously turned around and glanced at the slowly rotating black vortex—that was the entrance to the instance where Gu Xu was.

The unstoppable momentum from before momentarily froze.

Su Qiong's brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with conflict.

"But... Gu Xu is still inside."

Su Qiong bit her lip, her voice tinged with anxiety: "This kid just went in, none of us know what's going on inside. After all, it's a dungeon that even Elder Lin has stumbled upon..."

This is like throwing your own child into a tiger's cage.

Then the adults turned around and went to get into a group fight.

Although Gu Xu's strength was ridiculously high, he was still a newcomer who had just changed jobs.

They are also the future hope of the Godslayer Legion.

He was the "princeling" whom everyone doted on.

What if something goes wrong inside, and there's no one outside to help...?

Su Qiong simply couldn't bear to think about the consequences.

If she just leaves like this, how am I supposed to explain it to myself?

"Alright, stop being so wishy-washy, this isn't like you."

Just as Su Qiong was in a dilemma, a broad, kind hand patted her shoulder.

Zhang Daoxuan had already walked up to her side without her noticing.

The old man straightened the collar of his Zhongshan suit.

"Go ahead, the front lines need you. In that meat grinder-like battlefield, every high-level combatant we have saves a lot of young lives."

Zhang Daoxuan pointed to the entrance to the secret realm, his tone calm yet exuding an undeniable domineering aura: "As for that brat Gu Xu... leave him to me."

"you……"

Su Qiong hesitated for a moment.

"What? You don't trust this old man?"

Zhang Daoxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll just sit here on a small stool and keep watch. It would be best if this kid came out safely, but if something really happens to him, or if there's something amiss inside..."

At this point, the smile in Zhang Daoxuan's eyes faded.

An aura so terrifying it seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

It was faintly revealed from this seemingly old body.

"This old man certainly has the strength to blast open this broken secret realm! Then, even if I have to crawl, I'll carry you out!"

This is essentially a pledge of allegiance.

Hearing this, Su Qiong finally felt relieved.

She knew that since Minister Zhang had said so, he would definitely do it.

The promise of this second-in-command is heavier than gold.

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you!"

Su Qiong nodded heavily, no longer hesitating.

She wasn't the type to be sentimental.

Now that we have no more worries, we can get down to business.

"Set off!"

Su Qiong waved her hand and ran towards the transport plane with Jiang Shu.

"Wait a minute, count me in."

Just then, Lin Yuan's voice rang out.

Lin Yuan strode over, moving his newly reattached left arm.

Although his trench coat was tattered, it still exuded the sharpness of a ninth-tier expert.

But it is sharper than before.

"Old Lin? Your health..."

Su Qiong paused for a moment, looking at Lin Yuan's wounded appearance: "You should rest. Don't end up having to be taken care of when you get to the front lines."

"Stop taking a break, my foot!"

Lin Yuan spat out a mouthful of spittle, cursing and looking annoyed: "I was so frustrated in that lousy sedan chair, I had nowhere to vent my anger."

"Perfect timing! Since I can't get my revenge myself, I'll just have to vent my anger on those Japanese guys!"

"Besides, since I'm here, do you think I'd let you two girls risk your lives?"

Lin Yuan curled his lip, looking arrogant: "If word gets out, will I, Lin Yuan, have no shame?"

"and……"

Lin Yuan glanced at Zhang Daoxuan, then at the entrance to the secret realm: "With Elder Zhang watching over this place, there's no chance of anything going wrong."

"I'd be better off staying here and just watching the show, rather than going to the East China Sea to stretch my muscles."

Su Qiong smiled slightly as she looked at Lin Yuan's expression.

"Alright! Let's do it together! Let those bastards know that even if a Saint of our Divine Xia is injured, they can't just take advantage of him!"

"Walk!"

Without any further ado, the group quickly boarded the black private jet, whose engines were already running.

A huge airflow whipped up dust from the ground.

The roar of the engine was deafening.

Zhang Xinxin stood there, her hands in the pockets of her white coat, pushed up her glasses, and watched the plane soar into the sky.

Although she is a high-ranking priest, she is not a combatant.

Moreover, someone was needed to provide medical support, so she stayed.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Daoxuan and Zhang Xinxin remained in the huge temporary camp.

And a group of guards standing ready.

Zhang Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the taillights of the airplane gradually disappear into the horizon, and sighed softly.

Then, he turned around and sat down on a relatively clean cement block.

His gaze was fixed on the dark entrance to the secret realm.

……

On the other side, inside the instance, the air in the village was still unbearably foul.

But the body of the Thousand Corpse Grand Duke had already crashed to the ground.

But this is not the end.

Gu Xu stood aside, watching the large ball of flesh in front of him that was still twitching and trying to reassemble itself. His expression was as interesting as if he were watching a circus performance full of accidents.

A protest movement called "tumultuous upheaval" was underway in his stomach.

"This is what they call... a highly nourishing food?"

Gu Xu's lips twitched slightly. His gaze lingered on the pile of rotten flesh stitched together from countless severed limbs and blackened internal organs for less than half a second before he had to look away.

The feeling was like being ready to enjoy a Michelin-starred meal.

When they lifted the lid, they found a pot of sludge from the sewers that had been simmering for years, with several dead rats floating on top.

The notification sounds on the system panel were still irresistibly tempting him.

[High-level calamity bio-material detected! Activate skill "Mouth of the Abyss" to devour it?]

[Tip: Consuming this item will greatly increase your constitution attribute and has a chance to grant you the skill "Thousand Corpse Skin"!]

Gu Xu was caught in a deep dilemma.

It's like someone telling you that all you have to do is eat this indescribable thing in front of you.

You can get five million immediately.

Reason tells you this deal is a sure thing, but your physiological instincts are screaming for profit.

I wish I could just shut your brain down on the spot.

"I want to become stronger, but I don't want to become a monster."

Gu Xu sighed, trying to do his final mental preparation.

After all, as the "Lord of Calamities," one should theoretically be able to eat both meat and vegetables.

But just as he was hesitating whether to close his eyes and take a bite, Tucci, who was next to him, very "thoughtfully" added another blow.
