I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

The old man had a square face, rarely smiled, was neatly dressed, and looked capable and energetic. He walked with a steady gait, clearly a leader of considerable stature.

Judging from his stats, he's just a level 1200 Mythic Knight with average attributes and nothing special.

But there was one thing that bothered Lu Yun: he... actually possessed the inheritance of a god.

"Hello, my name is Yu Tairan, the city lord of Northern City."

Lu Yun smiled and shook hands with him.

"My name is Lu Yun, and these two are my senior sisters."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tairan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, seemingly quite surprised by the use of the term "senior sister".

"Young friend Lu, this is not the place to talk. Please come with me to the City Lord's Mansion."

"It would be my great honor."

Lu Yun was a little surprised, not expecting the other party to be so agreeable and polite.

Of course, it could also be a mind-altering potion, but Lu Yun is highly skilled and daring, and Zhang Yan must have reported the matter of the teleportation portal.

He was not worried at all, as he was certain that someone from Zhang Chenglin's group would arrive soon.

After getting into the car with Yu Tairan, the car quickly started moving.

"Young friend Lu, may I ask where you come from?"

"Outside."

"Outside?"

Yu Tairan's eyelids twitched, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking tentatively.

"The 'outside' you speak of, young friend, is......"

Lu Yun didn't waste any words; he wanted to understand the situation quickly.

"Divine Fire Continent"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tairan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression turned pale.

"Young friend! Are you sure you're from the Divine Fire Continent?"

Seeing that his breathing was a little rapid and that he leaned forward involuntarily, Lu Yun said softly with a calm expression.

"It seems that City Lord Yu also knows about the Divine Fire Continent, which makes things easier."

Lu Yun paused, then looked at Yu Tairan with a very serious expression.

"We are indeed from the Divine Fire Continent. This is our first time setting foot here, so we need to obtain accurate information."

"Or, if you can't make the decision, you can let someone who can make the decision do so; we have important matters to discuss."

Upon receiving a definite answer, Yu Tairan's expression tightened, realizing that the situation was extremely serious.

"This is a very important matter. I will contact my superiors now. Please wait a moment, young friend."

Without wasting any words, Yu Tairan immediately pulled up the chat panel and started sending messages like crazy.

Soon, Yu Tairan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, young friend, I've already notified my superiors. They're on their way and should arrive in at least half an hour."

"That's excellent."

……

the other side.

In the corridor, a middle-aged man hurried along, putting on his coat with a blank expression.

"Immediately notify the entire city defense battalion and personal guard battalion of the four cities to prepare for battle!"

"Sound the operational alarm for all four army groups; stand by at any time!"

"Give the order to secretly summon all array masters and experts above the ninth rank in the four major cities to report and await orders in the four major army groups. Appoint the city lord of the Eastern City as the temporary deputy commander and give him full authority to handle the preparations."

"Order the entire Elders' Council and the Hall of Worship to assemble and arrive at the Northern City Lord's Mansion within 15 minutes."

"Secretly dispatch rising stars from various races and students from the four major universities to the Divine Refining Tower for trials. If anything goes wrong, immediately activate the teleportation array to send both the tower and the people away."

Upon hearing this, the assistant who was running behind him quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Elder... isn't this a bit of an overreaction...?"

"Follow orders."

"yes!"

The assistant dared not delay and quickly turned and ran, while the elder went out quickly, boarded the helicopter that had been prepared in advance, and headed straight for the Northern City.

Once the order was given, although nothing seemed amiss on the surface, the four major cities were already operating frantically in secret.

Many people received news of a new round of trials and began heading to the Tower of Divine Refinement.

Meanwhile, many important figures and military soldiers were also quietly preparing, at an astonishing speed.

After half an hour.

Inside the meeting room of the Northern City Lord's Mansion.

Yu Tairan sat next to Lu Yun, chatting with him with a smile about this and that, and his manners were impeccable.

Lu Yun knew they were making preparations in secret, so he pretended not to know and chatted with them.

In Lu Yun's view, the more cautious the other party was, the more it showed that they valued it. If he were in their shoes, he would definitely be fully armed and on high alert.

"Knock knock knock!"

As the door was knocked on, Yu Tairan smiled.

"Here you are, young friend, please wait a moment."

Yu Tairan got up to open the door himself. Outside the door were the Grand Elder and a group of elders, city lords and people from the Hall of Offerings. These people were all quite old, numbering more than thirty.

As they filed in and focused their attention on the three of them, Lu Yun didn't mind. He just silently drank his tea and let them sit opposite him.

"Elder, young friend Lu."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Tairan stood up and smiled.

"Let me introduce you all. This is our First Elder, Chen Fang, and the Second Elder..."

"This is young friend Lu Yun, and these two are his senior sisters."

Sure enough, upon hearing this title, Chen Fang and the others' expressions became more serious.

"Young friend Lu, I'd like to ask one last time: are you sure you're from the Divine Fire Continent?"

"Yes, but we are not native to the Divine Fire Continent either."

Seeing Chen Fang stunned, Lu Yun put down his teacup and said.

"The Divine Fire Continent has been shattered. We found a portal in the ruins of one of the fragments and got here."

A single, simple sentence caused Chen Fang and the others' expressions to change repeatedly.

After Lu Yun finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, leaving the meeting room in such a silent atmosphere that you could hear a pin drop.

After a long silence, Chen Fang sighed and said with some helplessness.

"Young friend Lu, I'm sorry, this matter... is indeed a bit unexpected."

Lu Yun nodded.

"That's normal. We were also surprised when we found it because... in my personal understanding, it's very similar to a cultivation civilization."

He kept staring at Chen Fang as he said this, but Chen Fang seemed to know what was going on, and his expression remained unchanged.

"Although I came here out of curiosity to explore, since there is a civilization here as well, and you are also from the Dragon Kingdom, I think we can exchange information."

"That's how it should be."

This time, Chen Fang was quite agreeable.

"To be honest with you, young friend Lu, perhaps our ancestors really did experience a civilization of cultivating immortality, but judging from the documents and historical records we have left behind, it should be the same as it is now."

Just as Lu Yun had guessed.

The so-called cultivation civilization, just like the present one, is a world of integration.

They may look like immortals, but they're actually just wearing equipment and using skills.

"How did you get here, and how many years have you been developing? What exactly happened on the Divine Fire Continent back then?"

Chen Fang paused, then looked at Lu Yun with a very serious expression.

"I'm sorry, young friend Lu, I cannot answer that question."

Lu Yun was taken aback.

"Does the Grand Elder have some concerns?"

Chen Fang shook his head and sighed helplessly and bitterly.

"No, you misunderstand. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but..."

"Our history has been interrupted..."

"Or rather..."

Chen Fang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Yun with complicated emotions and said softly.

"History has been erased."
