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

Arriving at the gathering place of the deep dark realm.

Inside the Yunshang base, at the quartermaster department.

When clones number one and three came to report to Elder Wei that they were safe, Hu Lie, Wang Qi, Gongsun Baizhan, and others were also present.

Upon seeing the two clones appear simultaneously, Wang Qi was the first to jump out.

"Holy crap, two old Wus!"

"Also, Lao Wu, how come you look the same again?"

"Wow, they really are exactly the same."

Upon seeing two identical black-haired versions of Wu You, Wang Qi was shocked and curious. He circled the two clones several times, constantly marveling at their appearance.

Of course, it wasn't just Wang Qi; even Old Wei and Hu Lie's eyes were filled with curiosity.

Hu Lie and Wang Qi had seen Wu You before, so they naturally knew that this appearance with medium-length black hair, dark pupils, and delicate features was Wu You's previous appearance.

Mr. Wei had seen Wu You's file and his previous photos.

Seeing the curious expressions on everyone's faces, Wu You briefly described to them how he had killed the projection of the God of Lust with a single sword strike, then entered the real world through the passage, fought a life-or-death battle with the projection of the God of a Thousand Faces, and although he was in great danger, he still managed to kill the projection of the God of a Thousand Faces. In the end, it was because the old coin God of a Thousand Faces had tampered with the passage, causing the passage connecting the real world, the deep dark domain, and the Corpse Realm to be on the verge of collapse. There was no other way but for him to suppress the passage with his main body and let his clone walk in the outside world.

After listening, the quartermaster department fell silent for a moment, even the most outgoing Wang Qi fell silent.

It turns out that there are so many dangers in places they never saw.

Unbeknownst to them, humanity's defenses nearly collapsed.

Most importantly, behind the scenes, Wu You has already done so much and made so many sacrifices.

Because it involved the Sword Codex and the God of Beasts, Wu You's description left many things unclear, and they could naturally tell that Wu You was hiding some things.

But this is not important.

Judge by actions, not intentions! In the Investigation Bureau, there are plenty of those who grumble and complain, but when it comes to stepping up, they won't back down an inch.

Moreover, everyone has some secrets. As long as we uphold the Torchbearer's Oath and continue to fight for humanity, nothing else matters.

In the silence, Old Wei walked out from behind the counter, stood in front of the two clones, and remained silent for a long time.

Then he straightened up, abandoning his usual slightly forward-leaning posture when arranging affairs. He put his feet together, raised his arms from his sides, paused at chest level, and then, with a standard movement, raised his right hand to eyebrow level.

That was a formal salute from a torchbearer.

The others nearby also stood up, stood at attention, and raised their hands at the same instant they saw Old Wei's action, maintaining a basic synchronization in the rhythm of each movement.

The group of people saluted Wu You in unison.

The row of hands hovered in the air for about three breaths before being lowered one by one.

Old Wei stepped forward, patted Wu You's two clones on the shoulders with both hands, nodded, and said in a heavy tone, "You've worked hard. It's all our fault for being useless; even something like this requires a young person like you to take on."

Hearing the self-reproach in Old Wei's voice, Wu You immediately replied, "Old Wei, what are you saying? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Moreover, I also benefited from this incident, as my strength improved considerably."

Has it improved a lot again?

Upon hearing this, Old Wei, who had already stopped withdrawing his hand, paused. He looked up and re-examined the two figures in front of him, suddenly realizing that he had seemingly overlooked a very important piece of information in his shock:

So just how strong is Wu You, who is now capable of killing the projections of the God of Lust and the God of a Thousand Faces?

His tone was tentative and cautious: "So, Xiao You, your current strength..."

Wu You naturally understood what Elder Wei meant, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Both of these clones are at the thirteenth level of strength, while the main body is even stronger."

Even though Wu You didn't directly reveal his true strength at the fifteenth level, everyone, including Elder Wei, was already stunned.

How long has it been?

Not to mention the stronger main body, even the clones have the strength of the thirteenth rank?

Old Wei was the first to come to his senses. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by Wu You's strength at this moment.

An excited look appeared on his face: "Good! Good! Good!"

"Our human race shall rise to prominence!"

Wang Qi shamelessly moved closer, hooking his arms around the necks of two clones and pulling them towards him, creating a pose of embracing them both: "It has to be you!!! Old Wu!!!"

Gongsun Baizhan also gave a thumbs up and chimed in, "Chief, you're the best!!!"

Hu Lie also wore an expression of pride. He shoved Wang Qi's hand away and patted one of Wu You's clones on the shoulder: "Good lad!!!"

"I still remember clearly how you had your heart ripped out by that thousand-faced royal. I never imagined that so little time would pass and I could no longer even see your back!"

While everyone was still there, Wu You chatted with them for a while. After they left, he told Elder Wei the purpose of his trip: "Elder Wei, the main reason I came here this time is to exchange for some exotic plants that can be used by low-level martial artists and ordinary people. They can strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy, but the effects are milder."

The first clone pointed to himself: "As you know, this clone is going back to my family, so I thought I'd bring them some exotic plants along the way to nourish their bodies."

Old Wei nodded to indicate that he understood, then went straight back to the counter, tapped the screen inside the counter a few times, pulled up a list, and handed it to Wu You: "These are all plants that ordinary people can use, with very mild medicinal properties that will not harm the body."

"If it's on the order, it means it's still in stock."

"Since we don't have much stock right now, I'll transfer it all to you at once."

Wu You glanced at the long list filled with densely written characters, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Elder Wei. Please calculate the total contribution points and deduct them from my account."

Upon hearing this, Old Wei shook his head, a slight smile on his lips, and said, "No need for contribution points, just use the public account. If I deduct contribution points for this, the other torchbearers will probably come and scold me."

Wu You did not refuse and nodded, accepting the offer readily.

At this moment, Old Wei seemed to remember something and added, "Although these exotic plants are not many for a base, they will probably need several large boxes to fit them all. I'll just arrange another transport helicopter for you."

"Please remember to sign for it when you receive it."

Wu You nodded slightly: "Wandering."
