The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

On the helicopter, Wu You, who possessed the "Sword Heart Clarity" attribute, was unusually somewhat uneasy.

The clouds outside the window were getting thinner and thinner, and the scenery below changed from a blurry gray-green to clear streets and buildings. Those familiar outlines were gradually filling his field of vision.

To be honest, the last time I felt this nervous was before.

As for when exactly it happened last time, Wu You, who has now absorbed more than a dozen strands of divinity, has a very faint memory of it.

But at this moment, looking at that familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar city, he did feel his heart racing and a sense of unease.

He unconsciously touched the small glass bottle in his pocket that contained about half a bottle of pale green liquid.

That was the liquid obtained by boiling the juice extracted from the shape-shifting herb.

Yesterday, following the instructions given by the quartermaster, he crushed, juiced, filtered, and boiled the two illusion grasses, and finally put them into this small bottle.

According to the instructions, after drinking it, you can transform into whatever you want within half an hour.

What he wanted was not the current god-like creature with silver eyes and a sword mark, exuding an inhuman aura, but a human boy with black hair and black eyes, whose face was handsome but still relatively normal.

Wu You sensed the complex emotions within him and sighed, "Is it true that the closer one gets to home, the more timid one becomes...?"

His voice was very soft in the cabin, mostly drowned out by the roar of the propellers, but the lingering echoes trembled slightly in the air.

. . .

The entrance to the Lanhe City Anomaly Investigation Bureau building.

"Sister Lin."

"Sister Lin."

Amid greetings from her colleagues, Hua Linlin, sporting a neat short haircut and wearing a black trench coat, nodded as she walked into the Lanhe Investigation Bureau building.

She walked quickly, the hem of her black trench coat swaying gently at her knees, and her leather boots making a crisp clattering sound on the floor tiles.

On her right breast, a small bronze torch badge was prominently displayed.

She walked all the way to the director's office, stopped in front of the dark wooden door, raised her hand, and tapped the door three times with her knuckles.

dong dong dong-

"Enter."

A clear sound came from inside.

Hua Linlin pushed open the door and entered.

The office was arranged the same as when she last came, and behind the desk, a figure was staring at the computer screen, seemingly processing some documents.

She closed the door behind her: "Director Ye, you wanted to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yi turned to look at Hua Linlin who had entered the room: "Linlin's here."

He stood up, walked around the desk, and pointed to the sofa in front of it: "Come on, have a seat."

Hua Linlin was completely confused, but she still sat down as Ye Yi had instructed.

After sitting down, Hua Linlin sank into the soft cushions of the sofa. She looked at Ye Yi, who was standing by the desk, and asked, "Director Ye, is there anything—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

The next moment, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Then her body reacted even faster than her brain.

She instinctively sprang to her feet, jumping straight up from the sofa.

At the same time, two balls of green energy instantly appeared in his left and right hands.

Then, she looked at the sofa next to her.

She noticed that a figure had appeared on the sofa, which had been empty when she entered.

The figure was dressed in a black trench coat, with long, waist-length white hair cascading down his back like a waterfall, the ends of which spread out on the back of the sofa like a sliver of moonlight.

At the same time, he was wearing a pair of large sunglasses that almost covered half of his face.

However, from the small part of her face that was visible behind her sunglasses, Hua Linlin could imagine what a flawless face looked like behind them.

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief and dissipated the plant-attribute energy in her hand.

Because she had already seen the badge on the man's chest.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the surface of the badge and reflecting a golden, warm light that was almost blinding.

The visitor was a torchbearer with a golden emblem.

Hua Linlin drew the dissipated energy back into her body, took a deep breath, straightened up, and bowed: "Number LH-1120, Hua Linlin, greetings—"

She hadn't finished speaking.

"Comrade Hua Linlin."

A voice came from the sofa, carrying a familiar feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Hua Linlin was completely stunned.

Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes held a hint of confusion: "Huh?"

She glanced at the golden torchbearer wearing large sunglasses, then turned to look at Ye Yi beside the desk.

Ye Yi shrugged, indicating that she should figure it out herself.

Seeing this, Hua Linlin turned her gaze back to the figure on the opposite sofa.

Her gaze moved from the sunglasses to the other person's black trench coat, then from the trench coat to the gold badge—and finally settled on the long white hair.

Her pupils contracted slightly.

Long white hair.

She seemed to know someone with long white hair.

No, that person's hair wasn't white before; it was black.

But later...

His hair turned white after that divine intervention, after he saved the Lan River.

She had seen that person's white hair; she remembered.

She tentatively called out, "Wu...Wu You?"

Wu You nodded, then reached out and took off his sunglasses.

The sunlight streaming through the window fell directly onto his face.

A pair of silver eyes shone slightly in the light, and the starlight deep within the pupils seemed to be slowly flowing and twinkling.

The sword mark between his eyebrows became even more noticeable under the sunlight.

Hua Linlin stared at those silver eyes that seemed to contain an entire galaxy, completely stunned, even her breath caught in her throat.

Seeing her like this, Wu You couldn't help but smile.

She used to stare at him like this back when they were still in school.

Now, she is an experienced and efficient bronze badge torchbearer, yet she still stares at him like that.

During the time he was away, Hua Linlin changed, yet she seemed unchanged.

After a long while, Hua Linlin finally came to her senses.

Her gaze shifted from Wu You's silver eyes to the sword mark between his brows.

"You you you you—"

"Why do you look different again..."

Wu You shook his head without answering, but instead said:

"How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Upon hearing these strangely familiar words, Hua Linlin remained silent for a moment before speaking directly:

"nice."

Upon hearing this, Wu You nodded:

"Not bad, much more honest than before."

Upon hearing this, Hua Linlin's face instantly turned bright red.

What does it mean to be much more honest than before?

Was she dishonest before?

She was just too embarrassed to say it before, that wasn't dishonesty!

That is--

That is--

Well, she couldn't make up the story anymore.

Unconsciously, her mind drifted back to the years before the Lanhe Divine Descent incident. Back then, she and he were both at Lanhe No. 5 Middle School. Back then, she didn't know what a Corpse Seed was. Back then...

Then, she glanced at the small golden torch on Wu You's chest, shook her head, and pulled herself out of her thoughts:

"You've come back this time..."

"Is there something you need to do?"

. . . . . .

(I'm preparing a book title test for Laoyue. Does anyone have any good book title recommendations? Submissions are welcome.)

(In addition, Lao Yue also wrote a new version of the introduction.)

The new version is described below:

Wu You, who had struck it lucky, awoke from the fog and found himself transported to another world.

In this world, alien zombies have invaded reality, and the official investigation bureau maintains a fragile balance. Wu You, who is new to the world, can only rely on the system panel called Sword Codex, which came with him.

He started by mastering basic swordsmanship and gradually rose to the highest throne.

Years later, when the zombie species launched a full-scale invasion.

A magnificent sword aura descended from the heavens.

In an instant, the army of corpses froze, then shattered into pieces.

Then, an unparalleled sound resonated throughout the heavens and earth.

"Keep quiet."

"This sword—"

"Teach all beings to remain silent!"

"Teach the Way of the Sword to be clear and bright!"

From that moment on, the old era ended and the new era began.

An unknown deity 1: I voluntarily shed my divine halo, offered my divine position, and became an angel under my Lord! Believe me, this is absolutely true!

An Unknown Deity 2: Absorbing negative emotions to build a better world, I am the first angel under the Sword Ancestor!

An Unknown Deity 3: I was terrified! But my Lord appeared and saved me from fire and water! So I became my Lord's angel! What? Where did the fire and water come from? That's none of your business!

An unknown deity 4: Learn to invest, go all in wisely, and finally I still have to say, humans are awesome!

This is Wu You's story, and it is also an epic belonging to all mankind.

The flame of humanity will never be extinguished, and the glory of humankind will endure forever. Though the night may be lonely and the day may be blazing!
