Chen Lin looked at the group chat messages on his phone screen.

The exploration mission issued by Ren Ke was still flashing on the screen.

He casually turned off his phone and tossed it onto the sofa beside him.

A few minutes later, sensing that his sister had finished practicing her sword, he went downstairs to the living room.

"Miaomiao, look at this."

Chen Lin showed her the group chat messages.

"Brother, aren't you going?"

Chen Miaomiao's forehead was still covered in fine beads of sweat. After her initial surprise, she asked in confusion.

"I'm not going," Chen Lin shook his head.

"This reward must be quite high, right?" Chen Miaomiao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What might be an opportunity for others is a waste of my time."

Chen Lin looked at Chen Miaomiao and said, "I'll tell Ren Ke that you can choose one of the other missions to go on training, except for Qinghuang Mountain."

"What the hell?" Chen Miaomiao pointed to her nose.

"You need real-world experience."

Chen Lin's gaze fell on Shuanghua behind her.

"You just need to follow her in secret and protect her life."

Shuanghua nodded.

Her figure rapidly shrank in a burst of blue light.

After the light faded, a vibrant green jade hairpin shaped like a sword fell into Chen Miaomiao's hand.

Chen Miaomiao carefully inserted the jade hairpin into her hair.

"Follow Ren Ke's instructions, observe more and speak less."

Chen Lin gave a few words of advice.

He then called Ren Ke to explain the situation.

Ren Ke's voice came through the microphone: "Of course, but what's your sister's current cultivation level?"

Chen Lin replied, "I'm no weaker than some of my classmates, and I have the Sword Sect's treasures protecting me, so you don't need to worry."

"Okay, then I'm relieved." Ren Ke seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After arranging everything, Chen Lin continued his secluded cultivation.

Although the Reincarnation Forbidden Zone in the far west is an empty shell, the essence of the Heavenly Ranking of Life and Death has been somewhat depleted.

He must consolidate and improve his cultivation as soon as possible, because even though they are both at the peak of the Bitter Sea realm, there are still differences in their strength.

Above the villa, the Heavenly Ranking of Life and Death transformed into an invisible barrier.

It enveloped the entire Villa No. 5, protecting Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

The next day, Chen Miaomiao went to report to Ren Ke.

……

Two more days passed, and Chen Lin was still cultivating.

But the outside world went into a frenzy.

The dramatic changes on Earth were not limited to the Great Xia region.

This is true all over the world.

The only difference was that, in these two days, apart from the Great Xia, ancient mythological relics emerged from the ground in all other countries.

On the shores of the Aegean Sea, Mount Olympus rises abruptly, piercing the clouds.

The mountaintop was enveloped in golden lightning, and the faint outline of a magnificent temple could be seen.

Meanwhile, a magnificent rainbow appeared in the sky above the Scandinavian Peninsula, and the ruined palace of Asgard was faintly visible in the aurora.

Deep in the Sahara Desert, ancient pyramids float in mid-air, defying gravity, with the endless yellow sand coalescing into the face of a giant pharaoh.

On the other side of the East China Sea, in Japan, crimson cherry blossoms bloom atop Mount Fuji, and torii gates in Takamagahara stretch across the city, exuding an eerie and malevolent aura.

A pure white beam of light pierced through the Vatican's dome, and within the beam, the phantom of a six-winged angel chanted a mysterious and complex hymn.

Myths are revived, and the old order is completely torn apart.

In just two days, the spiritual energy recovered and underwent another dramatic change, overturning the original world order.

Within the Great Xia territory, the situation is equally dire.

The rate of evolution of plants and animals far exceeds that of humans.

Many ordinary stray cats and dogs grew to enormous size during the previous spiritual revival, transforming into bloodthirsty predators.

Many roadside weeds have evolved tough vines that can easily crush a human body.

In the past two days, everything has accelerated again.

The roars of beasts echoed through the mountains and forests, and lush green vines climbed all over the city.

Official resources were extremely fragmented, and all members of the law enforcement agency were exhausted from running around doing disaster relief.

They discovered with despair that the power of firearms was diminishing, and their lethality to plants and animals was less than half of what it used to be.

In fact, this weakening is continuing to deepen.

Left with no other choice, they had to prioritize protecting core cities and important industrial areas.

The towns on the periphery were abandoned, and the people were forced to band together for warmth.

The city is no longer a unified whole, but rather fragmented into isolated islands consisting of residential communities.

Property security guards and young adults formed a self-defense force.

They could only guard the gate and the surrounding walls day and night to prevent some ferocious wild animals from rushing in and hurting people.

If we don't unite to fight the disaster, the weak will be deprived of even the right to survive.

In the evening, the door of Villa No. 5 was rang.

Chen Lin walked down from the second floor and saw that his father had already gone to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Xu Fucang, the neighbor from next door, with his daughter Xu Chumeng behind him.

Both of them had an undisguised anxiety in their expressions.

"Old Chen, sorry to bother you." Xu Fucang forced a smile.

Chen Wenyuan welcomed the two into the living room.

Chen Lin sat on the sofa, watching them.

"Mr. Xu, is there something you need?"

Xu Fucang wiped the cold sweat from his temples.

"Mr. Chen, five members of the property security team were injured yesterday."

Chen Lin picked up his teacup but didn't reply.

Xu Chumeng's gaze swept across Chen Lin's face, a hint of urgency flashing in her eyes.

"The remaining mutated beasts in the city are getting stronger and more numerous, and many more beasts are also pouring in from the wild to the city's borders. The law enforcement bureau's defenses are about to collapse," she added.

"What does this have to do with me?" Chen Lin put down his teacup.

Xu Fucang's breathing became heavier.

He knew that the young man in front of him was a cultivator like the core members of the Administration Bureau.

"Our villa area is near Longxing Mountain. This morning, several wild animals appeared from the mountain. They are much larger than the ones in the area. We hope you can help us," Xu Fucang said, revealing his true purpose.

Chen Lin looked at Xu Fucang.

Xu Fucang's eyes darted away, avoiding Chen Lin's gaze.

"I'll help you?" Chen Lin asked in a flat tone.

"We're willing to pay," Xu Fucang quickly said.

He took a wooden box out of his pocket and pushed it in front of Chen Lin.

"I know that money may not be of much use to Mr. Chen now, but these are some special minerals that I had someone collect for me."

Chen Lin glanced at the wooden box but did not open it.

He could sense the faint metallic spiritual energy emanating from the box.

The material grade is too low; it's useless to him.

"Mr. Chen, if the community is breached, your family will also be affected," Xu Chumeng tried to reason with him.

Chen Lin glanced at her. "Even if the entire Ningjiang City falls, this villa will be fine."

Xu Chumeng's words were stuck in her throat.

She knew Chen Lin wasn't lying.

"The Big Gold Society is responsible for patrolling a three-kilometer radius around the villa area," Chen Lin finally admitted.

Xu Fucang felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly.

Chen Lin accepted the wooden box.

He doesn't need his neighbors' gratitude, nor does he need any transactions; he just needs them to understand the rules.

Ningjiang City, Cultivator Management Bureau.

Two military transport planes were parked on the tarmac.

Ren Ke, dressed in a black combat uniform, stood in the wind.

Li Xinran walked up to her with a top-secret document in her hand.

"The personnel have been assigned," Li Xinran said.

Ren Ke took the document and glanced at the list.

"Go outside the forbidden zone of death, and remember, only establish observation stations on the outer perimeter."

Ren Ke's tone was very stern, "We must never cross the boundary of the gray fog."

Li Xinran nodded.

"I understand that the law of death is something we cannot resist."

Ren Ke turned her gaze to another group of people.

Chen Miaomiao stood out somewhat from the crowd.

"Why haven't we heard anything from her brother these past two days?" Li Xinran followed Ren Ke's gaze.

"I heard he's in seclusion." Ren Ke looked away.

"Chen Lin is really bold to let his sister come with us on missions for training." Li Xinran said, somewhat puzzled.

"That jade hairpin in her hair is no ordinary item," Ren Ke said in a low voice.

Even with the help of the Light Arrow, she couldn't see through a single hair ornament.

This is enough to show that Chen Lin had left Chen Miaomiao with a very strong trump card.

"Set off."

Ren Ke issued the order.

The two teams boarded the transport planes separately.

Li Xinran led a team to the forbidden zone of death in the far western snow mountains.

Ren Ke then led Zheng Yue, Chen Miaomiao, and others to Xuanyang Lake in Southeast Province.

In the center of the lake, a creature resembling a dragon appeared.

This has seriously threatened the survival of millions of people in Donghai City.
