From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

However, the exertion of unleashing that sword strike was too great, leaving Zheng Zha feeling somewhat listless and unable to think clearly. He could only ask Jiang Liu, "Brother Jiang, is there anything to eat?"

"Have."

Jiang Liu waved his hand and took out various foods, fruits and vegetables he had stored in his body and mind's golden core, piling them into a small mountain. "You didn't bring any food with you in your storage ring?"

"I want to eat something fresh."

Immediately, Zheng Zha's eyes lit up, and without caring whether it was raw or cooked, he kept stuffing it into his mouth.

Under the shocked gazes of Gao Sheng and the others, the small mountain made of rice, grains, fruits, and vegetables visibly shrank until it disappeared.

But Zheng Zha's belly only bulged slightly.

And with the rhythm of his bones and muscles, his bulging abdomen was rapidly deflating.

His slightly pale complexion had regained its rosy hue, and the aura emanating from his body was like that of a savage ancient beast, sending chills down one's spine.

"Then, I'll leave the patrols outside the new capital to you."

Seeing that Zheng Zha had recovered most of his strength, Jiang Liu gave another instruction to Gao Sheng and the other local cultivators, and then disappeared with Zheng Zha from everyone's sight, leaving no trace. It was as if the two of them had never been there. Only the shattered mountains, the collapsed earth, and the full moon with a vertical line in the sky proved that a battle that shook heaven and earth had taken place here.

"Grandpa Gray, can you figure out how they disappeared?"

Gao Sheng glanced at the nine-aperture talisman in his palm, took off his chef's hat, revealing a palm-sized gray mouse.

The rat, having obtained the Qi, could not speak human language, but it could communicate with people through "manifesting its soul." A wisp of black Qi emerged from its head and ascended to Gao Sheng's body, squeaking, "How could I, your master, possibly understand such extraordinary beings? I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. Just fulfill that saint's instructions properly, and also try to understand the talisman in your palm. If you can grasp even a little bit of its secrets, it will be a piece of cake for you to establish your own sect. In the future, I won't need to pull your hair to help you cook anymore."

no doubt.

Gao Sheng has absolutely no cooking skills; it's all thanks to this old man in gray who secretly helps him.

"I don't like being a chef either..."

Gao Sheng muttered something under his breath.

"What do you say?"

Grandpa Gray squinted, his beady eyebrows furrowed, and his rat-like eyes narrowed, speaking in a low, menacing tone.

"I love being a chef the most."

Gao Sheng quickly changed his tune, asking Grandpa Gray to return to his original form, and then said to the other strange-looking people, "Ahem! Gentlemen! The Sage has given orders, we must do our utmost!"

"We possess the sage's seal, which can annihilate those demons, but with so many people and so many eyes, we need to establish a plan, divide into teams, and go to guard the main entrances and exits of Xinjing."

"But the new capital city has already been reduced to ruins because of the battle between two peerless masters in the city!"

Someone said, "If there are any fish that have escaped, they must have fled from all directions. We simply don't have enough people."

"Then call someone!"

Gao Sheng said, "Call all the family members and spirits over! Do you want to see your future relatives turn into ghosts?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, then each resorted to their own methods to contact the spirits, relaying messages and requesting the participation of their elders and disciples in the task of sealing off the area around the new capital...

···

Inside the Kwantung Army camp.

Due to the aftermath of the first clash between Zhao Yingkong and Zhao Zhuikong, nearly half of the Japanese soldiers had died, and of the remaining half, none were unharmed.

of course.

The ghost soldiers also suffered heavy casualties in the aftermath of that battle; their corpses were crushed into mincemeat, and no matter how tenacious their vitality, they could not fully recover.

However, fifteen ghost soldiers managed to survive.

These ghost soldiers carried out orders, sneaked into the military camp, and bit any wounded they saw.

"what!"

With a single bite, the virus in the saliva of these special demon soldiers was injected into the Japanese, making their faces hideous, and they underwent a transformation in a second, turning into "demons".

These ghosts are even lower than ghost soldiers; they are ghost slaves, merely equivalent to an incomplete first-order state of genetic lock. They have no intelligence, only the instinct to devour flesh and blood.

As the number of demon slaves increased, the Japanese soldiers in the camp were thrown into chaos. However, under the organization of the surviving Japanese generals, they took up bayonets and fought fiercely against the demon slaves and soldiers.

The ghost slaves' recovery ability is much weaker than that of the ghost soldiers, but they are not afraid of bullets. Even if their heads are pierced, they can recover within ten minutes.

However, once the demon slave's head is cut off, it cannot fully recover and will eventually die.

therefore.

Compared to firearms, military knives are more suitable for combat.

Just as the battle was at its most intense, a huge hand emerged from the ruins of the new capital, pushing aside the soil to reveal a ferocious head as large as a small mountain.

The Demon God of War!

Debut!

Chapter 1373 The Final Battle (Part 9): The Unspeakable Plan

giant···

The Demon God of War stood atop the ruins.

Compared to Zhao Zhuikong's Susanoo, which was at a height of a thousand meters, the height of the Demon God was only one-tenth of that, a mere hundred meters.

But this hundred-meter-tall demon god was a physical entity. Its bronze-cast outer shell ignited with blue flames, burning away the copper rust on the surface to reveal a bluish-green hue. Fine and complex patterns were outlined, flowing with a faint golden glow, as if echoing the entire world.

Upon seeing this terrifying war demon, the surviving Japanese soldiers in the camp lost all will to fight and fled frantically.

"Let's fight!"

Kibutsuji Muzan's deep voice emanated from the body of the Demon God, declaring war on all the surviving reincarnators.

With this roar, a crimson stream of light burst forth from the top of the Demon God's head, spreading outwards and almost instantly staining the entire night sky blood red.

"The plan can begin."

On a collapsed clock tower in the distance, a man with slicked-back hair, sensing the connection between the War God and the world of this realm, narrowed his eyes. "Muzan has successfully merged his Infinity Castle with the space within the War God, allowing him to unify the power of the entire Earth."

“Adam, isn’t this a bit too much? The power to unify the earth…” Another man trembled.

"Not an exaggeration."

The man named Adam sneered, "This spacetime has a cultivation system called Qi Refining, which is very special. Although the strength of cultivators in this world is somewhat low, Qi is the key to the origin of the universe, and its ability points directly to the spacetime level."

Judging from the existence of the War God, cultivation must have been prevalent in the ancient times of this era. It would have been impossible for this War God, the only one created using extraterrestrial stars, and the other eighty bronze giants to conquer the world.

Therefore, I suspect that this war god must possess the ability to unify the power of the entire planet.

Now--"

Gazing at the blood-red night sky, Adam was incredibly excited. "No matter how powerful the Central Continent Team is, even if they can destroy planets, they can't change the fact that the physical body that carries the light of the soul is only so small."

By utilizing this war demon god, one can unify the power of the entire world, then unite the will of all living beings in this time and space, merging their minds into one with me, becoming a true...

god!

Our Celestial Team will become the only gods in the cycle of reincarnation!

After saying that, Adam ordered the members of the Celestial Team to split up and approach Muzan Kibutsuji to truly begin the Human Completion Project.

However, some members of the team were unwilling to become part of Adam. They outwardly complied, but in reality, they sought out the members of the Middle Continent team who had arrived at the scene.

The Central Continent Team has nineteen members, plus Nezuko, making a total of twenty. Therefore, they were temporarily divided into five teams after the battle began.

Zhao Yingkong, leading Nezuko's team, annihilated the fourth of the Upper Moon Six generals, then encountered Zhao Zhuikong from the East America team and a clone of Zhao Zhuikong from the Demon team—achieving victory and comprehending the word "emptiness," thus initially forging his golden core.

Zheng Zha, alone with his team, encountered a clone of Zheng Zha—and has already won, merging with the clone's spiritual light—Li Yan—to complete the Yin-Yang convergence at the spiritual level.

A team consisting of Zhan Lan, Ling Dian, Xiao Honglu, Qin Zhuiyu, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Xiao was tasked with searching for the remaining Reincarnation Squads. Their strategy was to persuade them first, then take action. Zhan Lan was responsible for reconnaissance, Xiao Honglu for planning, Ling Dian and Zhang Heng for sniping, and Cheng Xiao and Qin Zhuiyu for protecting Zhan Lan and Xiao Honglu.

Wang Xia, Ming Yanwei, Liu Yu, Lin Juntian, Wang Fenlan, Mo Li, and Zheng Xue formed a team to monitor the status of the Kwantung Army and, incidentally, eliminate the ghost slaves and ghost soldiers. Essentially, they were leading newcomers on a mission.

The last team was the one found by the "traitor" from the Celestial Team: Chu Xuan, Qi Tengyi, Haotian, and Luo Gandao.

Among them, Qi Tengyi was responsible for interpreting the meaning of the ancient runes on the War God, Haotian was responsible for clearing out the Japanese and ghost slaves they encountered along the way, and Luo Gandao was the key figure in Chu Xuan's verbal plan to seize the driving authority of the War God.

"Luo Yinglong of the Celestial Team".

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, gestured for Haotian, who was blocking his way, to move aside, and asked slowly, "Do you want to be our enemy?"

"No!"

Luo Yinglong shook his head, his eyes sharp. "I'm here to ask you to stop Adam's plan."

"You think we'd believe that?"

Haotian sneered, but in his heart, two possibilities were being considered:

First, Luo Yinglong really intends to betray the Heavenly God Team.

Second, this is part of Adam's plan to lull the Central Continent team into a false sense of security!

"Oh? What plan?"

Chu Xuan looked slightly curious, but his eyes remained completely expressionless.

"I can't say."

Luo Yinglong shook his head, his face full of anxiety, "Let's go kill Adam together!"

"Can't you tell?"

Haotian sneered, "Why should we believe you?"

At this moment, he suspected that Luo Yinglong was truly going to betray the Heavenly God Team.

"Believe me, Adam is up to something big. If he succeeds, everyone could die!" Luo Yinglong roared anxiously.

But he refuses to reveal any inside information, so who would believe him?

Haotian even wanted to kill this guy outright.

But Chu Xuan stopped him and suddenly asked, "I have a few questions for you."

"Go ahead and ask."

Luo Yinglong lowered his guard.

"You've been forbidden by Adam, so you can't tell the truth?" Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and asked, "If you can't answer, say 'I can't tell'."

“No, my inability to tell the truth has nothing to do with Adam; it's just that I can't say it,” Luo Yinglong shook his head.
