Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Isheran braced himself on the ground with both hands.

I want to get back on my feet.

But whenever the wings spread slightly...

A heavy mountain shadow will then appear behind you.

Chu Zhou's voice fell from the sky.

"The eleventh rank is indeed very strong."

"But you are not yet the master of this world."

The Ninth Bureau Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom.

Spatial monitoring confirms that the Holy Judgment Channel has lost its attack capability.

The long-standing highest alert has finally been switched to monitoring mode.

Su Wan looked at Iseran kneeling in the desolate mountains.

He then turned to ask Lu Cang.

"This file."

"Should this be classified as an incident involving contact between ancient forces, or a cross-border attack?"

Lu Cang retrieved the complete flight trajectory of the Holy Judgment Spear.

Leave a mark in the cross-border attack category.

"Record what is true."

"Even if you have six wings, you can't skip filling out a form."

Inside the lunar base.

Shen Xinglan did not stop recording.

The Holy Judgment Spear, the Holy Flame of Day, the spatial passage, and the energy data of the Six Towers were all stored in a categorized manner.

This battle marked the first time the ancestral realm had a complete record of the eleventh-order Light Law system.

In the holy city by day.

An elderly angel holding a white scepter slowly walked down the suspended staircase.

He has only four wings on his back.

His aura was more stable than that of ordinary winged guards.

"Lord of the Azure Lotus".

"Itheran invoked the Holy Judgment Spear without the permission of the Council of the Six Towers."

"The Holy City of Daylight is willing to renegotiate."

"Please spare his life."

Chu Zhou did not remove the roots.

Instead, all the footage from the start of the meeting was projected sequentially onto the six white towers.

They forcibly took the lotus leaves.

The protective array pattern was broken.

Forced investiture.

Drain Saint Verde's energy.

They crossed the continent to attack Heilong Lake.

Every frame has been preserved intact.

It has not been edited in any way.

After the old angel finished reading, the hand holding the scepter gradually tightened.

The guards on either side of him also lowered their weapons.

"I did not enter the Holy City of Daylight to steal anything."

Chu Zhou's voice reached the six towers.

"We did not force you to hand over any of your people."

"He was the one who first pulled out the lotus to save the person."

The old angel looked down at the distant Hall of Souls.

Although the three wounded have survived.

However, due to the broken array pattern, the repair time will be extended by at least half a month.

"The Holy City of Daylight will provide the resources needed to repair the soul."

"The Holy City will also be responsible for rebuilding all damaged array patterns."

The old angel paused for a moment.

"As for Iserland."

"The Council of the Six Towers will publicly examine his crimes of arbitrarily amending the Covenant, forcibly conscripting the Outer Court, and extracting the essence of the Holy City."

Modern representatives have once again stepped out of the protected area.

He did not demand the dissolution of the Holy City of Daylight, nor did he deny that the other party had once protected the ancient human race.

Only the reports of the wounded and the city's damage were sent to the front of the stairs.

"The trial is an internal affair of the Holy City."

"The rules regarding compensation and future contact need to be confirmed by both parties."

Isheran barely managed to lift his head.

A faint holy light still lingered in his eyes.

"You must make the Holy City of Daylight..."

"Compensate a group of ordinary people?"

"Without the protection of the Holy City, their ancestors would have perished in the ancient cataclysm!"

The three roots of the lotus plant pressed downwards simultaneously.

Iseran's hands, which were supporting his body, sank into the rocks again.

Chu Zhou did not deny the ancient war achievements of the Holy City.

"The people who saved their ancestors."

"I will remember that."

"But today you plucked away the lotus."

"Have the wounded in the hospital ever agreed to repay an ancient debt of gratitude with their own lives?"

Iselan opened his mouth.

However, no answer was given.

Those three wounded were not even direct descendants of the ancient covenant's founders.

One of them came from seven star cities.

We have just returned to the ancestral realm through the star gate.

He has no connection whatsoever with the Holy City of Daylight.

The old angel remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he placed the white scepter horizontally in front of him.

"The Holy City of Daylight accepts the compensation list."

"The existing territorial decrees are hereby revoked immediately."

"Citizenship recognition has been changed to voluntary membership."

"Any modern human has the right to leave the Holy City."

Both sides redefined the rules of contact.

The Holy City of Daylight possesses autonomy within the secret realm.

However, it cannot unilaterally annex St. Verde.

Nor can any Light Awakener be forcibly taken away.

Those who wish to study in the holy city can choose to do so through normal registration.

Members of the Holy City must also abide by the basic management rules of a modern city if they wish to leave the secret realm.

Inside Iselan's body.

Chu Zhou then left behind three Lotus Seals to suppress the Dharma.

Before compensation and trial are completed.

He could no longer invoke the laws of divine judgment, nor could he leave the Holy City's protected area.

As for the Holy Judgment Spear.

Chu Zhou had already dragged them directly back to Black Dragon Lake along the still-open passage of laws.

As the gun fell.

A deep crater was pressed into the ground by the lake.

Little Jinbao immediately jumped off the back of Xuanjia.

If the Black Tiger King hadn't bitten its neck in time, it would have pounced on the spear and started inspecting the materials.

"Let me go."

"I won't dismantle it."

"I'm just checking on behalf of my master to see if there's any contamination from the hunting grounds inside!"

The Black Tiger King did not give in.

It wasn't until Chu Zhou sealed the Holy Judgment Spear with the Azure Lotus Array that it put the little golden treasure back on the ground.

[Successfully defeated the 11th-tier, early-stage Holy Judge, Iseran.]

[Gained 200 million evolution points.]

[Obtained the incomplete Law: Holy Flame of Daylight.]

The will to forcibly bestow titles is being stripped away.

Purification complete.

[Gained the Law Ability: Everlasting Lotus Flame.]

The Everlasting Lotus Flame can store, convert, and remotely transmit stellar and light-attribute energy.

[A complete eleventh-tier law weapon has been detected: the Holy Judgment Spear.]

[The weapon's true name mark is currently damaged and can be repaired by the Refining Realm Furnace.]

The Holy City of Daylight compensated the Soul Protection Academy for its losses.

Two unused light wells were proactively opened to the public.

The light well cannot be moved directly out of the secret realm.

However, through the renovation of the Temple of the Sun, energy can be continuously supplied to the stargates under construction in the seven star cities.

Iserland originally intended to bring Chu Zhou back to the Holy City to heal the old wounds of the six towers.

finally.

Qinglian did not enter the Holy City of Daylight.

On the contrary, the two light wells in the Holy City were connected to the Ancestral Realm Energy Network.

The global live stream ended.

The final scene does not depict modern humans kneeling to receive a divine edict.

Instead, the guards of the Holy City of Daylight laid down their weapons and worked with the human engineers to repair the severed soul-protecting array.

The image of Isheran kneeling before the edict was preserved in its entirety by media outlets around the world.

After the news spread around the world.

Other newly opened ancient realms also reacted quickly.

Deep in the Egyptian desert.

The ancient temple guardian standing before the Sun Stone Gate watched the entire live broadcast of the Holy City of Daylight.

He remained silent for a long time.

He turned over the golden document that originally read "Summoning the Descendants of the Sun".

Write the meeting time again on the back.

"Tell the Temple of the Sun."

"I would like to first understand the current state of the Ancestral Realm before discussing whether the Ancient City of the Sun should be opened."

Inside the North Sea Stone Circle.

The ancient war song that had been going on for several days also came to an end.

A woman wearing tattered armor walked out of the stone gate alone.

No sea blockade was announced.

There was no demand for supplies from nearby fleets.

She simply sheathed her longsword.

How far is this place from the nearest human city?

"in addition."

"Could you give me a world map from 100,000 years in the future?"

The pyramid-like secrets of the southern rainforest have also ceased expanding their ley lines.

Several ancient priests withdrew the prepared pledge of submission.

It was decided to first send an envoy to the local government.

The Global United Defense Council also quickly published its first set of "Rules for Contact with Ancient Forces".

Ancient factions can preserve their own heritage, internal systems, and secret territories.

However, no past document can be used as a direct basis for annexing a modern city.

Ancient battle achievements can be recorded.

The kindness of our ancestors can be repaid.

But no one can re-sign a ownership contract on behalf of their descendants 100,000 years from now.

The Ninth Bureau of the Dragon Kingdom subsequently established an Ancient Forces Liaison Group.

The list of personnel includes not only powerful awakened individuals.

There are also historians, experts in ancient writing, and legal professionals who specialize in the study of ancient contracts.

Su Wan placed the last stack of documents on Lu Cang's desk.

"Previously, we dealt with the Ghost Domain."

"Just figure out a way to lock the monster back in."

"Now, the things that come out of the secret realm are still using documents from 100,000 years ago to fight us for land."

Lu Cang opened the archives of the Holy City of Daylight.

Next to the title of Inquisitor of Itheran, add a line of explanation.

"The position is only valid within the Holy City of Daylight."

"This does not represent any administrative authority of the ancestral realm."

The newly established extraterrestrial affairs window in Linjiang City.

It also adds ancient identity verification items.

A veteran who had just completed his registration to return to the Holy City of Daylight took the initiative to return and supplement his ancient military register after seeing the news.

"Remember your past identity."

"We can't use that to intimidate people now."

The veteran placed the tattered military badge in front of the window.

That makes sense.

"General Ning has already spoken to the First Border Guard once."

Order was restored in Heilong Lake within half a day.

Black Tiger King patrolled the outer mountain pass once.

Only after confirming that no one, including the cubs and engineers, was any damage done were most of the protective array removed.

The deep blue light curtain of the Carapace Cave slowly opened.

After the doctors inside inspected all the treatment pods, they discovered that the eleventh-order attack had only delayed the evacuation plan by less than half an hour.

The first group of extraterrestrial wounded who had completed initial treatment walked down the back of the Xuanjia armor along the passage.

Lu Zheng's shoulder has not yet recovered.

They could only move forward slowly while holding onto the railing.

The young gatekeeper, who had once dismantled half of his armor, kept his gaze fixed on the Holy Judgment Spear by the lake.

"Let's go out for a bit."

"Bring back one hundred and eight soul ships."

"The master stayed in the ancestral realm and also acquired an eleventh-tier spear."

Lu Zheng did not respond to the joke.

I simply looked up at the sky, which had returned to calm.

"At least for now."

"Those ancient figures who survived should also know this."

"The ancestral realm ten thousand years from now will not belong to whoever awakens first."

Little Jinbao had already circled the Holy Judgment Spear more than a dozen times.

It dared not touch the array patterns.

They could only lie outside the seal, searching for metal fragments that had naturally fallen off during the battle.

Not long after.

It then found a platinum leaf the size of a fingernail in the soil.

There are no remnants of the Holy Judgment Law in the Armor Leaf.

Yet it still exudes a pure and luminous aura.

Little Jinbao immediately hugged it.

"Owner."

"This fell on the ground."

"Things that fall on the ground, do we not need to return them?"

The roots of the Chu boat swept over the leaves.

Only after confirming there were no hidden marks did they loosen the roots wrapped around Little Golden Treasure's waist.

"You can stay."

Little Jinbao's eyes lit up immediately.

He turned around and rushed back to the treasure cave on the back of the Xuanjia armor.

A strange rock lies beside the lotus platform.

The first natal inscription pattern flows gently.

"The investiture was not completed."

"Instead, they sent the eleventh-tier weapon to Black Dragon Lake."

"Lotus Fairy, you're very good at business."

Chu Zhou's roots rolled the strange rock inside the lotus platform.

A wisp of life essence travels along the roots and enters the not-yet-fully-healed cracks in the stone.

"I originally only wanted him to release the lotus seedlings."

"He insisted on adding this compensation himself."

The strange rock did not shake its roots.

He only offered a cold reminder.

"The Holy City of Daylight possesses far more than just one early-stage eleventh-tier cultivator."

"If you confiscate their weapons, aren't you afraid someone will come looking for them later?"

The ten lotus leaves of Chuzhou gently unfurled.

"Follow the rules."

"I will naturally negotiate."

"If you still want to take it by gun."

"There's plenty of room to plant more trees next to Heilong Lake."

Little Jinbao, clutching the platinum armor leaf, emerged from the treasure cave once more.

"Owner."

Will that six-winged creature come back again?

Chu Zhou did not answer.

Little Jinbao, however, has already begun to look forward to it.

"If he comes again..."

"Could you allow him to pass over my treasure cave?"

"Things that have fallen will be easier to pick up."

Black Tiger King has just returned to the lakeside.

He glanced at it upon hearing this.

"Next time an enemy enters the restricted area."

"You should close your own hole first."

"So that after the fight, people won't suspect someone of stealing your things."

Little Jinbao was about to retort.

The black-armored creature was already carrying the next batch of medicinal herbs, slowly passing by the lake.

The stone ridge and treatment building in the Back Armor Cave remain stable.

Several young beasts that the Black Tiger King had placed inside were lying on the edge of the grassy slope, curiously looking at the sealed spear.

After nightfall.

For the first time, the Holy City of Daylight voluntarily withdrew its secret realm aura.

Eternal daylight no longer covers the entire city of Saint-Ville.

The streetlights in the modern city also lit up one by one in the night.

Holy light and lamplight coexist across the boundary of the secret realm.

No one tried to forcefully extinguish the other side anymore.

The restoration personnel from both sides remain outside the Soul Protection Institute.

For the first time, we truly studied the forces we used against each other.

In Heilong Lake.

Little Goldfish placed the platinum leaf in the most conspicuous spot in the treasure cave.

Then he found a piece of paper.

He wrote a line of text in a crooked and uneven manner.

"Six wings came to steal the master's lotus."

"In the end, he lost his gun."

"The whole world has seen it."

Xuanjia carried the medicinal herbs past the cave entrance.

After seeing the paper, he remained silent for a moment.

"The spear is only temporarily held by its master."

"It may not belong to you forever."

Little Jinbao thought for a moment.

Replace it with a new sheet of paper immediately.

"Six wings came to steal the master's lotus."

"They gave me a piece of leaf."

"The whole world has seen it."

Chu Zhou scanned the line of text with his divine sense.

No correction was made.

The nine world nodes have returned to calm.

The roots of the Azure Lotus continued to sense the ancient secret realms that were awakening, following the ancestral mountains and rivers.
