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

A one-eyed old man wearing a black star-patterned robe stood at the bow of the ship.

His lower body had merged with the entire ancient ship, with tens of thousands of civilization cores, made into specimens, hanging behind him.

[Target: Star Graveyard Owner, Ebony.]

[Realm Level: Peak of the Eleventh Tier.]

[Identity: Raider from an extraterrestrial civilization.]

Mastering the Laws: World Dragging, Star Tomb Sinking, Civilization Peeling.

[The target is not affiliated with the Fifth Hunting Court.]

The target has accepted the bounty and is attempting to seize the ancestral realm's origin.

Egu did not attack the ground cities.

After the ancient ship appeared, the first chain immediately wrapped around the Fire Star Gate.

"Once this star gate is taken away, the road between the ancestral realm and the seven star cities will be severed."

The one-eyed old man looked at the lunar base: "As for the Pure World Lotus, the Fifth Hunting Court is willing to exchange it for three complete worlds. This price is very satisfactory to this ship owner."

Qin Zhenyuan stood in front of the Fire Star Gate.

His injuries have not fully healed, and there are still several unhealable cracks on the surface of the black knife.

Facing the eleventh-tier peak Star Tomb Ship Lord, he did not draw his sword alone.

One hundred and eight guiding motherships have already formed a ring formation on the outer edge of the moon.

None of the rescued souls were forcibly conscripted.

Ancient war spirits willing to participate in the defense will enter their positions on their own, while ordinary undead spirits unwilling to fight will be transferred to the soul-protecting area on the far side of the moon in advance.

Zhou Ning held Gu An and stayed in the soul ship.

She is unable to fight, but she is responsible for guarding a Soul Returning Lantern Array, preserving the return coordinates for war souls that enter the starry sky.

Gu An crouched down next to the lamp, carefully protecting the flame.

"Mother, will they come back?"

"meeting."

Zhou Ning looked at the battle spirit army formation outside the soul ship: "The lights are still on, so they know where to go."

The first batch of chains released by the Star Tomb ship have arrived.

Qin Zhenyuan drew his black sword.

Three thousand contemporary gatekeepers and hundreds of thousands of ancient battle spirits simultaneously channeled their power into the Mountain and River Blade Realm.

The black blade of light did not strike the ancient ship itself, but instead fell along the outer perimeter of the Fire Star Gate, temporarily pinning hundreds of World Chains to the void.

"All fleets retreated three hundred li."

Qin Zhenyuan issued the order: "Rely on the lunar base for defense, and do not engage in a direct confrontation with the peak eleventh-tier forces."

A young gatekeeper couldn't help but look towards Kunlun: "The Lord of the Azure Lotus is still at the First Realm Gate."

Qin Zhenyuan said calmly, "So what we need to do is hold out until they finish dealing with that."

Upon hearing the communication, a mocking glint appeared in Ergu's single eye.

"Place all your hopes on a single French lotus."

"It seems that the Ancestral Realm isn't as special as the Fifth Hunting Court described."

The ancient ship from the Star Tomb moved forward once more.

The massive bow of the ship crashed into the Mountain and River Blade Realm, causing all three thousand gatekeepers to cough up blood simultaneously. The energy shields of dozens of modified warships also rapidly dimmed under the peak power of the eleventh tier.

Qin Zhenyuan did not retreat.

He plunged the black blade into the lunar surface, using himself as the main axis of the army formation to firmly guard the coordinates of the Fire Star Gate.

"The Ancestral Realm did not place all its hopes on Chu Zhou."

"We simply believe that this door won't slip through our fingers until it's its turn to act."

In front of the first gate of Kunlun.

The giant golden hand also sensed the battlefields all around.

The consciousness belonging to the Fifth Priest once again emanated from the vertical pupil in the palm.

"Pure Lotus of Dharma".

"Only one true form of the Realm Lotus can exist."

"If you stay in Kunlun, the lunar stargate will be dragged away by Egu."

"When you travel to the moon, the First Gate will become the sacrificial path of this court."

"Ten world nodes do not mean you can actually defend ten places at the same time."

Chu Zhou's ten lotus leaves did not move.

On the battlefield of the North Sea, Umo has already stepped into the Everlasting Light Ice Melting Formation.

Cassian's Law Axe fell from the hands of three thousand gatekeepers, while the ancient warrior severed the Star Chains from Umo's chest from the other side.

Without the protection of the chains, the world's essence swallowed by Umo began to leak out.

The Azure Dragon Whale King crossed the Tokyo Bay node, its massive tail whipping up a huge wave that slammed Umo back into the Hokkaido Stone Ring.

The modern fleet did not attack the frozen sea monster.

All main guns simultaneously locked onto the Law Core exposed on Umo's chest.

The first round of artillery fire has begun.

Cracks appeared in the core of the blue and white star.

The second wave of constant light energy descended from the Holy City of Daylight, forcibly melting the frozen star sea created by Umo.

The third wave of attacks came from the ancient female warrior inside the stone ring.

She pierced Umo's six eyes with her longsword, ultimately nailing this powerful being from beyond the realm, who had willingly offered up his mother world, to the seabed of the North Sea.

The Titan Umo of the Cold Abyss has fallen.

The Beihai Guiting Memorial Altar is now closed.

In the direction of Egypt, the black feathers that Agathu had transformed into were all extinguished.

In the southern rainforest, even the last purple spore was purified by wildflower nectar.

The invasions had spread in all directions, but three of them had already been dealt with by the ancestral realm's own power.

Chu Zhou's voice then fell upon the golden vertical pupils.

Who told you that?

"Did I establish ten world nodes so that ten places would line up and wait for me to rescue them?"

"I am not the only powerful being in the Ancestral Realm."

"Those who need protection in the Ancestral Realm are not just those hiding under lotus leaves."

The golden giant hand suddenly exerted force with its five fingers.

It has realized that all containment plans have failed and wants to force open the first gate before the end of the lunar battlefield.

Thousands of living people behind the door were simultaneously attacked.

He Changqing's gatekeeper seal was the first to crack.

Zhou Zhenshan immediately asked via communication: "How much longer can we hold out?"

"For the past forty-three years, I've felt every day that I can only hold on a little longer."

He Changqing's voice was weak, but still carried a smile: "Now that you've arrived, it shouldn't be difficult to hold on for a few dozen more breaths."

All the guards inside the gate simultaneously activated the gate-guarding seal.

The guardian's will, accumulated over 100,000 years, erupted along the bronze gatepost, forcefully clamping down on the golden hand that had already squeezed out halfway.

Chu Zhou no longer waited.

The Holy Judgment Spear crossed the node of the Holy City of Daylight and instantly appeared above Kunlun.

The blue-silver lotus pattern on the surface of the spear lit up completely.

"First Gate Guards, heed my command!"

Chu Zhou unfolded ten lotus leaves outwards: "Let go."

He Changqing did not ask why.

All the gatekeeper seals went out at the same time.

With the power within the gate gone, the giant golden hand suddenly stretched outward, its five fingers obscuring the Kunlun sky, seemingly wanting to shatter the entire glacier with a single blow.

The expressions of Zhou Zhenshan's staff changed drastically.

However, Elder Ye did not order a retreat.

He looked up at the illusory image of the blue lotus: "Only by releasing it can we sever it completely at the root."

The moment the golden giant hand completely left the stone gate, the Holy Judgment Spear descended from the sky.

The spearhead pierced precisely through the vertical pupil in the palm, pinning the remaining consciousness of the Fifth High Priest to the Kunlun Mountains.

The purifying fire of myriad realms erupted with a deafening roar.

The layers of the civilization contract covering the arms burned away, and the soul imprints of hundreds of millions of people who were forced to sign fell off the golden skin.

The fifth priest roared in anger.

"This seat is the life of the twelfth order of priests!"

"Even if you only have one arm left, it's not something you can refine just because you've just advanced to the eleventh rank!"

Chu Zhou did not argue with it.

In Heilong Lake, the first inscription on the strange rock has lit up.

A crimson celestial monument spans the ancestral realm's mountains and rivers, heavily resting above the golden wrist.

Xuanjia also completely embedded its limbs into the Kunlun earth veins.

The Abyss Cave Heaven is connected to ten world nodes simultaneously, absorbing all the spatial fluctuations caused by the giant hand's struggle.

Black Tiger King stood at the highest point of the back armor, controlling all the patrol array patterns and protecting the engineering personnel who had not yet evacuated behind him.

The 108 geothermal stabilizers in the ninth bureau were activated simultaneously.

Modern energy, ancient gatekeeper seals, the Abyss Cave Heaven, and the Prison Suppressing Stele patterns—four completely different forces—form a complete blockade outside the first gate of Kunlun.

This time, it wasn't Chu Zhou who suppressed the twelfth-tier remnant body alone.

The entire ancestral realm was holding down his arm.

The stone gate of Qinglian Town Prison then appeared.

Black water gushed out from behind the door, and nine magic rings locked five fingers, wrists, and elbows respectively.

Chu Zhou's green silver roots tightened simultaneously.

The enormous golden arm was dragged inch by inch toward the prison.

"Didn't you want me to choose between Kunlun and the moon?"

Chu Zhou's voice entered the consciousness of the Fifth Priest: "I choose to stop you first, and then go kill that ship."

Boom!

The stone gate of Qinglian Town Prison suddenly slammed shut.

The twelfth-level right arm slammed heavily into the first layer of black water in the prison.

The Dragon Ancestor of Myriad Calamities was forced to move to the side again, his eyes burning fiercely with black soul fire: "Purifying Lotus! The First Hell already has a dragon, a monk, and the Seal of the Lord of the Realm, and now it has an extra arm!"

"Are you planning to stuff the entire body of the Fifth Priestess inside next time?"

A single root of Chuzhou emerged from the black water.

"That's a good suggestion."

The Dragon Ancestor of Myriad Calamities fell silent instantly.

The faceless old monk beside him continued chanting sutras.

The giant golden hand struggled frantically within the Suppressing Ring.

The two voices mingled together, making the First Prison incredibly lively for the first time.

[Successfully suppressed the remnants of a twelfth-tier life form.]

[Target: The right arm of the Fifth Priest.]

[Successfully severed the location of the first boundary gate in Kunlun.]

[The completeness of the Fifth Hunting Court's Grand Civilization Ceremony has decreased.]

[Gained 800 million evolution points.]

[Obtained the incomplete Law: Civilization's Sacrifice.]

[The coordinates of the Fifth High Priest have been detected.]

[One reverse coordinate lock can be performed at this time.]

The true form of the Lotus Realm above Kunlun quickly dissipated.

Egu immediately noticed that Chu Zhou had left the First Gate.

Instead of continuing its attack on the lunar defenses, it put the Star Tomb ship into a space-dragging state.

The Fire Star Gate was already bound by tens of thousands of chains.

Once the ancient ship completes a turn, the entire stargate will be dragged into the star tomb space.

"The Pure Land Dharma Lotus has chosen Kunlun."

Egu looked at Qin Zhenyuan with his single eye: "What good is it if you hold on? Its true form of the Boundary Lotus has disappeared, and it will take at least ten breaths to re-condense."

Qin Zhenyuan glanced at the cracks on the black knife.

Then, he suddenly sheathed the knife.

All three thousand goalkeepers retreated simultaneously.

Ergu thought the lunar defenses had given up, and all the chains on the Star Tomb ship suddenly tightened.

Just as the Star Gate was about to leave its original position, a blue-silver lotus leaf slowly emerged from inside the Star Gate.

First breath.

The lunar node and the remnant star of the guardian star lit up simultaneously.

The third breath.

The returning soul lights of all 108 soul-guiding motherships turned into a bluish-silver color.

The fifth breath.

The Myriad Spirits Green Lotus Realm covers the far side of the moon.

The seventh breath.

Ten complete lotus leaves spread out above the Fire Star Gate.

The smile on Ergu's face vanished completely.

"Seven breaths?"

"You've just advanced to the eleventh rank, so how is it that your Lotus Body can traverse two nodes within seven breaths?"

Chu Zhou's embodiment of law was already hovering in front of the Star Tomb Ancient Ship.

"It takes ten breaths to use the first time."

"The second time, be more skilled."

Ergu did not continue dragging the Mars Gate.

All the chains retracted simultaneously, and the massive ancient ship quickly turned, preparing to retreat back into the shattered space.

It is not a member of the Fifth Hunting Court's assassination squad.

The reason for accepting the bounty is that the strongest being in the Ancestral Realm is currently only at the eleventh level, and is unable to protect multiple areas simultaneously.

Now that the plan has failed, it is naturally unwilling to risk its life for the Fifth Hunting Court.

"The ship owner is willing to withdraw from the bounty."

Ergu looked at Chu Zhou with his single eye: "This conflict ends here."

Chu Zhou's ten lotus leaves slowly turned: "You come and go as you please. What do you take the Ancestral Realm for?"

Tens of thousands of civilization cores behind Ergu lit up simultaneously.

"I, the ship's owner, have roamed the starry seas for seventy thousand years. Even the Fifth Hunting Court can only trade with me. Do you really think that killing a few ordinary eleventh-tier beings will allow you to leave behind the Star Tomb Ancient Ship?"

Tens of thousands of dead stars flew out from both sides of the ship.

They are not illusions.

Each one was once a civilized world dragged into the Star Tomb space by the Evil Bones.

Such a massive force pressing down simultaneously would be enough to completely collapse the moon's orbit.

Chu Zhou did not attack those dead stars.

The Monument of Ten Thousand Spirits' War Merit appeared in the starry sky.

The light from the ancient blue monument shone on tens of thousands of civilization cores, from which the imprisoned remnants of consciousness awakened.

[Currently recording the sins of the Star Tomb Ancient Ship.]

[37,612 civilization cores detected.]

[Of these, over 29,000 civilizations still retain a remnant of their will.]

The ancient Star Tomb ship forcibly controls the Death Star through chains of law.

[Can purify the target's law affiliation.]

Egu finally realized something was wrong.

Chu Zhou's Myriad Realms Purifying Fire did not burn the ancient ship, but instead fell along tens of thousands of control chains into the core of each civilization.

The forced ownership mark disappeared quickly.

Those dead stars that were originally heading for the moon now remain suspended in the sky.

The first core of civilization turned towards the ancient ship.

Then came the second and the third.

Tens of thousands of worlds destroyed by the Evil Bone broke free of control at this moment, turning their remaining power against their former plunderers.

"Pure Lotus of Dharma!"

Egu suddenly severed all the chains, attempting to abandon the ancient ship and escape.

Qin Zhenyuan's black sword was drawn again at this moment.

The three thousand gatekeepers who retreated earlier did not lose their power, but were waiting for Egu to abandon the Star Tomb Law to protect themselves.

Swords and blades fell along the center of the ancient ship.

A black crack stretching tens of thousands of miles appeared on the entire Star Tomb Ancient Ship, from bow to stern.

Qin Zhenyuan's single strike was insufficient to kill a peak eleventh-tier cultivator.

But it was enough to open up Chu Zhou's defenses.

The ten green and silver lotus leaves closed forward at the same time.

The Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm completely enveloped the ancient ship along with the original body of the Calamity Bone.

E'gu kept throwing out the core of civilization, trying to take the damage for himself.

But those core members have already regained their freedom.

No world would willingly die for it again.

"The Fifth Hunting Court says you've only just advanced to the eleventh rank!"

For the first time, fear surfaced in Ergu's single eye: "We're both at the peak of the eleventh rank, how could you so easily suppress my Star Tomb Law!"

A lotus leaf passed through the center of the ancient ship.

"I am indeed not at the peak of the eleventh rank."

"But every world of death you bring is helping me suppress you."

Tens of thousands of remnants of civilization erupted simultaneously.

The Star Tomb Ancient Ship was completely broken.

Egu wanted to hide his soul inside the core of a civilization, but the Returning Soul Lamp illuminated his true location.

The Holy Judgment Spear crossed the node once again.

The spearhead pierced through E'gu's brow and single eye, pinning its massive soul to the moon.

The Pure Fire of All Realms then ignited.

In less than ten breaths, the eleventh-tier peak Star Tomb Ship Lord, along with all the laws of enslavement, turned into blue-silver light spots.

[Successfully defeated the 11th-tier peak Star Tomb Ship Lord, E'gu.]

[Gained 1.3 billion evolution points.]

[Obtain the Incomplete Law: World Drag.]

[Obtained eleventh-tier law material: Star Tomb Ship Core.]

[Successfully rescued 29,431 remnants of civilization cores.]

[The ancestral realm has achieved its first multi-node joint defense.]

The stability of ten world nodes has been improved.

[The coverage area of ​​the Myriad Spirits Azure Lotus Realm has been increased.]

Global alerts are being lifted one by one.

The ice in the North Sea has begun to melt.

The ancient city of the sun has regained its twelve pillars of light.

Infected individuals in the southern rainforest were also transferred to purification zones.

On the far side of the moon, only broken ancient star-grave ships and tens of thousands of quietly floating remnants of civilization remain.

The Fifth High Priest originally planned to have four powerful beings from beyond the realm hold back the Ancestral Realm.

In the end, two eleventh-tier powerhouses perished, a peak eleventh-tier raider was killed, and the Spore Realm Mother Nest was severely damaged by the Myriad Realms Purifying Fire.

The first gate to Kunlun did not open.

Instead, its right arm was suppressed and imprisoned in the Qinglian Town Prison.

In the ninth round of the headquarters, Zhou Zhenshan looked at the results transmitted from all four battlefields simultaneously, but did not immediately declare victory.

He opened all the activity logs from the North Sea, Egypt, the rainforest, and the moon.

"Review each item one by one."

"The evacuation from Beihai was three minutes slower, the rainforest almost mistakenly used the combustion plan at first, and there were also problems with the energy distribution of the first layer of the lunar ship array."

One staff member couldn't help but ask, "Director Zhou, we've defended all four battlefields; are we starting the debriefing now?"

Zhou Zhenshan looked at the ancestral realm projection that had returned to calm: "The enemy won't give us a break just because we won a battle."

Old Ye picked up the thermos from the side.

He shook it twice and found that the tea inside had already been drunk.

"A review is acceptable."

"Let those who have worked continuously for more than twelve hours go home and rest first."

"The mandatory shift system was only established yesterday, and the General Administration cannot make an exception on its own today."

Zhou Zhenshan remained silent for a moment.

The meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held all night, was eventually rescheduled to the early morning of the following day.

The staff on duty began the handover process.

Some people turned off their screens, some poured out the cold coffee on their tables, and some sent a message home to let their families know they were safe before leaving headquarters.

Zhou Zhenshan also took out a communicator.

The message my wife sent contained only one photo.

There was a plate of freshly made dumplings on the table, with a note next to it.

"If you don't come back today, I won't save any for you tomorrow."

After looking at the photos, Zhou Zhenshan picked up his coat.

Old Ye stood at the door waiting for him: "Going home for dinner?"

"Together."

"My sister-in-law didn't prepare any for me."

"Just put a few more in the pot."

Two elderly people walked out of the headquarters.

Behind them, the ten world nodes of the ancestral realm continued to operate smoothly. A new batch of gatekeepers took over their posts and continued to monitor the starry sky and the ley lines.

In Black Dragon Lake, Little Jinbao was also taking stock of the materials left behind from the battle.

As soon as the Star Tomb Ship's core was delivered to the Lotus Platform, it circled the piece of pitch-black metal more than a dozen times.

"Owner."

"Four locations were attacked this time."

"Based on one loot per location, there should be four sets of scraps, right?"

Black Tiger King had just returned from Kunlun. Upon hearing this, he immediately lay down on the shore: "The things in the North Sea belong to the Northern Navy Legion, the things in Egypt belong to the Ancient City of the Sun, and there is only a fragment of spores in the rainforest."

Little Jinbao raised his paw and calculated for a moment: "The ancient ship that was the Star Tomb on the Moon is so big, it shouldn't be an exaggeration to count it as two places."

Xuanjia slowly swam across the lotus platform: "The five pieces of material you lent me have been used up. The ten pieces that Master promised to give you are still in the cave."

Little Jinbao's eyes lit up.

It temporarily forgot about the Star Tomb Ship's core, turned around and rushed into the Back Armor Cave, recounting its ten pieces of spatial metal.

The strange rock hangs beside Chu Zhou's lotus platform, and the first inscription on the natal stele has become dim due to continuous suppression.

A root from Chu Zhou wrapped around it, slowly sending the essence of life into the stone.

"My beloved concubine has worked hard."

The strange rock was too weak to shake off its roots, only letting the dark red crystal patterns flicker twice: "If you shout again, I will release that twelfth-tier arm."

Inside the Qinglian Town prison, the Myriad Tribulations Dragon Ancestor immediately raised his head.

"put!"

"It would be best to release the monks and the Lord of the Offering Realm together!"

Chu Zhou's roots gently tightened.

The first level of the prison gate was completely sealed, and everyone behind the Myriad Tribulations Dragon Ancestor was blocked in the depths of the Black Water.

Beyond the ancestral realm.

At the very center of the Fifth Hunting Court, on the golden altar, a colossal figure slowly opened its five vertical pupils.

A large amount of golden blood flowed from the location of the sixth eye.

After losing its right arm, the grand sacrificial ceremony it had prepared for many years suffered its first irreparable damage.

Below the altar, tens of thousands of Hunter's Court warships came to a stop simultaneously.

All the patrol ships scattered throughout the surrounding star systems began to converge on the main fleet.

The fifth priest did not send out any more subordinate strongmen.

The Ancestral Realm has already proven that ordinary eleventh-order life forms cannot remove the Lotus of the Myriad Spirits Realm from its root system.

"Stop testing."

Five voices simultaneously echoed throughout the Hunter's Court fleet.

"Sixty days later."

"The entire Fifth Hunting Court has entered the Ancestral Realm Starfield."

Above the golden altar, the coordinates of seven human star cities and the ancestral realm appeared simultaneously.

Just as the Fifth Priest was about to re-seal the coordinates, a wisp of blue-silver flame suddenly shone from the wound on his severed arm.

Chu Zhou's divine sense actually traveled along his suppressed right arm and saw the entire Fifth Hunting Court in reverse.

The two wills of law crossed the sea of ​​stars and truly met each other's gaze for the first time.

The fifth priest's five vertical pupils contracted simultaneously.

Chu Zhou did not immediately sever the connection.

The ten lotus leaves reflected all the warships of the Hunting Court, recording the coordinates of each ship in the Myriad Spirits Green Lotus Realm.

"Sixty days later?"

Chu Zhou's figure followed the sacrificial path and landed on the golden altar.

"Then you'd better hurry, I'm not sure if I'll find you first."
