Zhan Shen: I am the spokesperson for the Great Love Immortal

Now, because her body has absorbed a part of Khuzun, it's no longer entirely human. Therefore, even if you beat her down to just her head, she won't die.

As if to confirm the words of Chaos, countless black willow branches suddenly emerged from Gongyang Wan's broken half of her body, instantly mending and repairing her body.

Upon seeing this, Huo Qubing and Chloe's pupils contracted.

Huo Qubing was now completely soaked in blood, and his original white robe had turned completely red.

Clearly, he was no longer able to attack.

Chloe, on the other hand, has already exhausted her energy just by fending off the fireballs falling from the sky.

Although she can achieve all sorts of incredible abilities through faith, it should be understood that even the most powerful abilities need to pass through her body as an intermediary before they can be released.

Although she is now at the pinnacle level, there are still differences in strength among those at the pinnacle.

Therefore, having only recently reached this level, she was already feeling somewhat exhausted after a day of intense combat.

Although she can still fight, letting her fight Chaos is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Just as Chaos was about to attack the two, a shout suddenly came from afar.

"Lord Chaos, you can't kill them!"

Hun Dun was startled. With a sudden thought, he actually stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the figure running towards him from behind.

At this moment, although Lin Qiye was standing right in front of him, he strangely did not recognize Lin Qiye.

Chaos frowned and spoke to Lin Qiye.

"Who are you? Why can't you kill them?"

Lin Qiye smiled and said as he walked towards Chaos.

"Oh dear, Lord Chaos, don't you recognize me? I am Zhang San, your most trusted follower, who has followed you for over a hundred years!"

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Hun Dun was stunned for a moment. Then, under the influence of [Unprovoked Reason], he inexplicably believed Lin Qiye's words.

"Oh, so you're Zhang San!"

Hun Dun let out an "oh," seemingly demonstrating his embarrassment at having forgotten Lin Qiye.

But only the devil knows what kind of embarrassment it was for a Three Pillar God to forget an ordinary person.

Just as Chaos was pondering, Lin Qiye instantly drew the Kusanagi Sword and slashed fiercely at Chaos, while simultaneously reaching for his heart with one hand, launching a two-pronged attack.

This time, the Kusanagi Sword was no longer an ordinary weapon in Lin Qiye's hands. Instead, it was forcibly bound to Lin Qiye by a causal law, which had been pulled up for no apparent reason.

Therefore, the broken Kusanagi Sword in Lin Qiye's hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling aura of law, instantly cleaving Gongyang Wan in two.

Suddenly, Chaos, which was originally immune to physical attacks, finally met its natural enemy.

As Hun Dun was cleaved out of Gongyang Wan's body by Lin Qiye's sword, he also realized what was happening and recognized Lin Qiye in front of him.

Upon recognizing Lin Qiye, Chaos was immediately shocked.

"How are you alive again?!"

Lin Qiye smiled sinisterly, "You're still alive, how could I bear to die?"

As he spoke, Lin Qiye raised the Kusanagi Sword, ready to cleave Chaos in two.

Although the current Chaos is from two thousand years ago and arrived through the Gate Key, rather than being the original Chaos, as long as Lin Qiye can kill it, he can still harm the original Chaos.

Lin Qiye was naturally very enthusiastic about anything that could harm Chaos, after all, the two had a long-standing grudge.

As Lin Qiye charged in with his sword, Chaos was so frightened that he cut off one of his fingers, detached himself from Gongyang Wan's body, and fled into the distance.

Although his death wouldn't have a significant impact on the main body, to be honest, it was him who died, not the main body, so of course he was anxious.

Having broken free from Gongyang Wan, and with the blessing of the power of the Khrushchev gods, Chaos vanished in an instant, its speed undeniably swift.

Although he ran very fast, Lin Qiye was not flustered at all.

He simply and calmly initiated the predetermined outcome.

With the activation of [Predestined Fruit], Chaos ran and ran until it was right in front of Lin Qiye.

Upon seeing this, Chaos exclaimed in surprise.

"That's impossible. How did you do that?"

Lin Qiye smiled faintly, then raised his sword and calmly looked at Chaos.

"In the course of fate, two people who are destined to meet will meet, no matter how far apart they are or whether they are going in opposite directions. They will always meet, won't they?"

The power of "Predetermined Fate" is actually insufficient to achieve this, but with the effect of "Unfounded Cause," Lin Qiye is indeed the god of destiny.

As Lin Qiye spoke, he rapidly approached Chaos with his sword. Chaos, however, was still trying to struggle and kept talking, trying to persuade Lin Qiye not to kill him.

"Even if you kill me, it will be of no use. After all, to the real body, I am at most just a finger."

Listen to me, we... ah!

However, no matter what Chaos said, Lin Qiye still killed Chaos with a single sword strike.

After killing Chaos, Lin Qiye did not stay in the same place. Instead, he once again wielded the Kusanagi Sword and, to Huo Qubing's astonishment, pierced Chloe's chest with a single strike.

As Chaos's severed finger appeared within Chloe's body, Lin Qiye struck again with his sword. With this, Lin Qiye officially ended all the methods Chaos had left behind two thousand years ago.

After resolving the chaos, Lin Qiye checked on Huo Qubing's condition.

Although Huo Qubing's body was riddled with wounds, he was not yet on the verge of death. Therefore, Huo Qubing waved to Lin Qiye to indicate that he was alright.

"Seven Nights, don't worry about me, go and deal with that fog..."

While they were fighting, the mist that was originally far away from Chang'an City was about to spread into the city itself.

Therefore, after Lin Qiye nodded, he did not delay any longer and immediately rushed towards the willow tree that was almost at the gate of Chang'an City.

Lin Qiye's speed was so fast that, in the eyes of Liu Che and Fang Si of the Star-Picking Pavilion, he was like a streak of light, rushing in from outside the city one moment and rushing out of the city the next, leaving the two speechless.

Finally, Liu Che sighed sincerely.

"This... soldier is truly extraordinary."

Fang Si nodded sincerely.

Indeed, livestock.

Chapter 548 Being Given the Cold Shoulder

With Lin Qiye's resolution of the willow tree incident, the disaster that affected tens of thousands of people in Chang'an finally came to an end.

The next step, naturally, was the reconstruction of Chang'an.

However, that's a matter for Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and Lin Qiye and Fang Si are not responsible for it.

Right now, Huo Qubing, Lin Qiye, Fang Si, and Chloe are sitting in a lakeside pavilion discussing something.

Of the four, Fang Si and Lin Qiye were dressed in normal Han Dynasty clothing, while Huo Qubing was wrapped in white cloth like a rice dumpling.

Looking at Huo Qubing, who was completely wrapped in white cloth, Lin Qiye asked worriedly.

"My lord, your health..."

Huo Qubing shook his head; the only thing missing from his body now was his head.

"A minor injury, nothing to worry about,"

Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Lin Qiye remained silent, but Fang Si muttered to himself.

A mere fatal wound, is that all...?

Seeing that Fang Si and Lin Qiye didn't say much, Huo Qubing continued speaking.

"Now that the chaos in Chang'an has been quelled, I wonder what your next move is, Qi Ye?"

Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Lin Qiye paused for a moment, not answering directly, but instead asking a question to the red-haired girl who was listening quietly to the side.

"Chloe, can you use the Covenant to send me back now?"

During this period, since Lin Qiye dealt with the willow tree and rescued Chloe, Wu Quan, Zhan Yuwu, Yan Zhong, Gongyang Wan and others who were trapped inside, they have been able to escape.

Although they were trapped inside the willow tree and had their energy drained for a period of time, their lives were not actually harmed. Therefore, they recovered almost completely shortly after being freed from the willow tree.

Therefore, Huo Qubing was actually the one who was most seriously injured.

Even Gongyang Wan, whose body was possessed by chaos, only had more energy absorbed, thus creating two bodies. But Huo Qubing was truly burning through his lifespan.

Since Chloe regained consciousness, Lin Qiye naturally wanted to ask her about the Covenant, to see if he could return to two thousand years later through the Covenant.

However, this time, Lin Qiye received bad news.

After listening to Lin Qiye's account of what had happened to her under the Holy Covenant, Chloe sighed.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

The covenant left on you, though also my own, contains an energy far beyond what I can match.

To accumulate such a massive amount of faith power, even with the scale of faith I possess now, is utterly a pipe dream.

"To send you back, it would take at least several hundred years of accumulation..."

After hearing Chloe's words, Lin Qiye remained silent for a while.

Although he had anticipated this outcome, Lin Qiye still felt a deep sense of helplessness when faced with the reality.

However, although he could not go back, he was not discouraged.

After a brief silence, he answered Huo Qubing's question.

"My lord, since we can't go back now, I'd like to make some arrangements."

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Huo Qubing became interested and asked him a question.

What do you want to do?

Lin Qiye thought for a moment. He first looked up at Huo Qubing, then at Chloe, and finally at Fang Si, who was silently cultivating his mental strength with his eyes closed. Finally, he spoke firmly to Huo Qubing.

"I want to leave some contingency plans for this era."

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Huo Qubing seemed thoughtful, while Chloe scratched her head in confusion.

Fang Si glanced at Lin Qiye and asked, "Do you want to start planning now?"

Lin Qiye nodded.

"The Kryptonian forces are simply too powerful, especially Yog-Sothoth, who can disrupt everything through the River of Time. Therefore, if I want to defeat them, I need to make some preparations as soon as possible."

Huo Qubing pondered for a long time, then nodded.

"What do you want to do? How can I help you?"

Lin Qiye smiled and asked Huo Qubing.

"My lord, I wonder if His Majesty has now agreed to establish the Evil Suppression Division?"

Huo Qubing nodded.

"After this turmoil in Chang'an, His Majesty understands the current situation of the world and is no longer so opposed to the establishment of the Zhenxie Division. Therefore, as long as I mention it again, the Zhenxie Division should be able to be established."

This incident, in which the entire city of Chang'an was almost wiped out by the Khrushchev regime, truly made Liu Che realize that times had changed.

Therefore, after weighing the options, he still chose to let Huo Qubing establish the Zhenxie Division, even if the Zhenxie Division would threaten the imperial power, he could not care about that anymore.

After all, the Han Dynasty may perish, but the world must not perish.

Lin Qiye nodded in response to Huo Qubing's words.

"In that case, let's start by establishing the Demon Suppression Division."

As Huo Qubing nodded, Chloe patted the table and extended her hand.

"Hey, count me in! What's with not including me?!"

Seeing this, Huo Qubing smiled and extended his hand, which was also wrapped in white cloth.

"Count me in."

As the two placed their palms together, Lin Qiye also placed his palm on top, then looked at Fang Si, who remained silent to the side.

"Old Fang, what are you still hesitating about?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Fang Si smiled helplessly and placed his hand on Lin Qiye's palm.

"If the future is really as you say, then I don't really have a choice, after all, the goal of the Kreece is this world."
