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

"I understand. How are Hu Jia and Shen Qingzhu doing now?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Chen Han remained silent for a moment.

"Hu Jia's condition is relatively stable, but Wu Laogou's body has been completely destroyed by Odin's attack, so he has fallen from the realm of the God of Mind to the level of the ceiling."

Furthermore, it's estimated that Hu Jia won't be able to make a move for quite some time.

Lin Qiye nodded, drank a cup of tea that had gone cold, and then put the teacup back on the table.

"As long as he's alright, that's good. If he can't fight, let him rest and go to logistics."

Chen Han nodded and continued speaking.

"As for Shen Qingzhu, his situation is rather bad."

Because Odin's divine power nearly destroyed half of his body, although it was later restored somewhat by...that person's methods, the injuries were ultimately too severe. He has been taken back to the Heavenly Court by the Celestial Venerables and sent to the Origin Realm to recuperate.

Upon hearing about Shen Qingzhu's current situation, Lin Qiye was stunned for a long time, and then remained silent for a long time.

After a while, it wasn't until Chen Han called him that he was brought back to his senses.

Lin Qiye rubbed his temples.

"I understand, Chen Han. When you get back, inform the senior management of the Sixth Division that if the division chief is killed in action, his deputy should take over."

Tell them to come to headquarters for a meeting tomorrow at noon.

"Yes."

After Chen Han accepted the order and left, closing the door to the commander's office behind him, Lin Qiye held his teacup in silence for a long time before placing it back on the table.

He slowly pulled open the drawer of his desk and took out a photograph.

This photo was taken when the Nightfall Squad had just returned from Japan and went to the Night Watch recruit training camp to instruct the new recruits.

In the photo, the background is a group of Night Watch recruits, and in front of them, Lin Qiye stands in the very center, with Jiang Er floating on An Qingyu's head, standing to Lin Qiye's right with An Qingyu.

Shen Qingzhu stood smiling to his left.

As for Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan, one was making a peace sign on the side, while the other had his hands in his pockets, looking just like a wanted criminal.

Looking at the photo in front of him, Lin Qiye remained silent for a long time.

In the office where only one person was present, a sigh filled with loneliness and helplessness suddenly drifted out.

"How come... I'm all alone now..."

Chapter 639 The Rejuvenating Gu.

A blessed land for all beasts.

At this moment, within the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, as strange light flickered, Ye Mengli's aged face gradually faded, and she slowly regained her youthful appearance.

Bei Ming Bing Po and Jia Xin watched this scene quietly from the side.

Not long ago, when Ah Huang stated three conditions, although they guessed the last one—that Fang Sheng himself could come and directly reclaim the blessed land—it was clear that this condition could not be met.

Unlike the effortless delivery of the Northern Underworld Ice Soul, this was not the case.

Because Fang Sheng carries the Gate of Truth, he is almost always locked by the key to the gate.

Once he leaves the Great Xia, even if Fang Si should theoretically block the key to the gate, no one can guarantee that the key to the gate won't come knocking on his door.

Therefore, Bei Ming Bing Po and the others could only choose to fulfill the other two conditions.

However, this also brings with it the problems they will have to face.

The first requirement of being handsome is easy to say. After all, with his ascension to immortality, both Beiming Bingpo's physical body and Jiaxin herself are quite good-looking and can be considered handsome.

As for moves and style, they can be cultivated later. After all, creating some special effects is not too difficult for a Gu Immortal.

However, when it came to the second, more demanding requirement, the two of them were stumped.

Logically speaking, the so-called "strongest," even the strongest, should only require the three of them to fight to determine the strongest one.

However, Ah Huang did not agree with this screening method.

"In the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, the so-called strength is actually to let the warriors who have passed the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts' Sacrifice fight each other and select the last one to survive."

However, although you passed the Beast Sacrifice, you cheated.

Hearing Ah Huang's words, Bei Ming Bing Po narrowed his eyes and asked him.

"Cheating? I don't know where we went wrong?"

Hearing Bei Ming Bing Po's question, Ah Huang sighed, "It's about strength."

While their strength is undeniable, this isn't the absolute standard for the strongest in the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts.

To gain the approval of the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, what you truly need to become is the strongest in combat skills among those of the same realm, not the strongest in cultivation.

Hearing Ah Huang's words, Bei Ming Bing Po nodded. In fact, he wasn't entirely unaware of this.

After all, in the old orc's memory, although the level of those who entered the annual Beast Festival was different, according to the information they passed on, the demonic beasts they encountered were of the same level as them.

As Ah Huang spoke, Bei Ming Bing Po naturally guessed that the so-called hunting of ten thousand beasts actually required hunting ten thousand demonic beasts of the same level as himself.

As for why it lasts for ten years, it's because there might not be enough low-level demonic beasts to kill. During these ten years, orcs can hunt demonic beasts and use blood sacrifices to improve their totem level, thereby enabling them to hunt higher-level demonic beasts.

As for why Ah Huang judged Bei Ming Bing Po and the others to have cheated, it was mostly because there were no powerful demonic beasts in the entire mountain forest that could rival the Gu Immortals, which almost led to the two of them being wiped out.

Thinking of this, Bei Ming Bing Po immediately asked Ah Huang.

"Although we are indeed suspected of cheating, this is our first time in the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts. So, shouldn't we be given a chance to make amends?"

Ah Huang thought about it for a moment, and seemed to think that what Bei Ming Bing Po said made sense, so he nodded to the three of them.

"You're right. However, although we can give you a chance to make amends, neither of you can continue playing."

As he spoke, Ah Huang pointed directly at Jia Xin and Bei Ming Bing Po.

The reason for referring to them is naturally because the two of them are already Gu Immortals.

In fact, to prevent Bei Ming and Bing Po from misunderstanding his actions, Ah Huang even offered a fitting explanation.

“There are no wild beasts in this blessed land, and even if there were, there wouldn’t be enough for you to hunt ten thousand. Therefore, if you participate in the trial, there is no way to guarantee fairness and the rules.”

Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Bing Po frowned and glanced at Ye Meng Li, who had a solemn expression beside him.

"According to you, she's the only one who can participate in your trial. So, do you have ten thousand top-tier demonic beasts here?"

Although he uttered a question, Bei Ming Bing Po was absolutely certain that there weren't that many peak-level demonic beasts in the blessed land.

After all, he's already killed his way through the whole area; how could he not know whether there's any left or right?

As expected, Ah Huang shook his head.

"No, although there are still tens of thousands of demonic beasts in the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, there are only two demonic beasts left that are at the same level as her."

However, that doesn't matter, because I can use the power of the blessed land to temporarily suppress her cultivation level, thus achieving the goal of fairness.

It's a pity that the blessed land can't suppress your strength, or rather, it can't completely suppress it. That's why I won't let you participate in the trial.

Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Bing Po and Jia Xin finally understood why Ah Huang had banned them from the competition earlier, and their faces darkened as a result.

Actually, neither of them had a strong desire to play, but the point was that if only Ye Mengli could play, wouldn't that be ridiculous?

What the hell does an old zombie woman have to do with being handsome?

However, no matter how much they cursed in their hearts, they had come all this way, so naturally they wouldn't leave empty-handed.

Therefore, Bei Ming Bing Po and the others put their heads together and decided to refine the Rejuvenating Gu, which could restore Ye Meng Li's appearance.

And it is precisely because of this that the scene at the beginning where Ye Mengli refines the Gu worms occurred.

The development of this Rejuvenating Gu was naturally the work of Bei Ming Bing Po and Ye Meng Li, since Jia Xin didn't have any Gu-refining skills.

Its function is to restore one's appearance by consuming lifespan.

However, because the Gu worms are not highly refined, they also have certain limitations in their use. For example, they can only restore the appearance of someone who has aged naturally, but cannot restore the appearance after external injuries such as knife wounds or sword wounds.

The side effects of the Rejuvenating Gu are, of course, unacceptable to ordinary humans.

After all, people are already old. If they try to restore their youthful appearance by consuming their lifespan, isn't that like an old man eating poison and having lived long enough?

However, it was just right for Ye Mengli, a zombie, since she no longer had a lifespan limit.

However, although her appearance has been restored, she still needs to go through the Beast Festival organized by Ah Huang in order to truly inherit Ah Lie's blessed land.

As Ye Mengli transformed into the same down-on-her-luck girl she once was, Ah Huang's eyes lit up.

Clearly, he has already begun to accept Ye Mengli's appearance.

Perhaps Ye Mengli's appearance wasn't as stunning as Jiaxin's, but Ah Huang was extremely pleased with the aura she possessed, which stemmed from a family of martial arts practitioners.

The changes in Ah Huang naturally caught the attention of Bei Ming Bing Po and Jia Xin.

Chapter 640 Ah Huang's eyes lit up with admiration.

Seeing that Ah Huang was satisfied with Ye Mengli's appearance after her recovery, Bei Ming Bing Po and Jia Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As Ye Mengli fully recovered, before she could speak, Bei Ming Bing Po asked Ah Huang first.

"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, I think we can begin the trial."

It would be safer to let Ye Mengli prepare more before a challenging event like a trial.

However, because time was indeed tight and they did not know how the flow of time in the Blessed Land of Ten Thousand Beasts was calculated, Bei Ming Bing Po did not let Ye Meng Li make any preparations, but instead tried to be as quick as possible.

After hearing Bei Ming Bing Po's words, Ah Huang nodded and then looked at Ye Meng Li and asked.

"My Trial of Ten Thousand Beasts can begin anytime. Are you ready?"

A look of seriousness flashed across Ye Mengli's newly recovered pretty face, and then she nodded emphatically.

Although there was a possibility of failure if she tried directly, she knew the conditions for controlling the blessed land and did not want to give up this hard-won opportunity.

After all, in her mind, if it weren't for the fact that she was the only one among the three of them who met the requirements of the blessed land, the opportunity to control the blessed land would never have fallen into her hands.

Once they go back, the next person to visit this blessed land might be Fang Sheng, not them.

As Ye Mengli nodded, Ah Huang didn't say anything more. With a flick of his paw, Ye Mengli's figure vanished from the main hall.

At the same time, a mirror reflecting the mountain and forest scene appeared before them.

A moment later, Ye Mengli's figure appeared in the mirror.

……

As the trials began on the other side, Fang Sheng fully absorbed the surge of insights from the blessed land and slowly awoke from them.

This time, the largest increase was undoubtedly in the Dao traces of the Thunder Dao.

Originally, he had less than ten thousand Thunder Dao Marks, but as he advanced to the Seventh Tribulation Second Stage, he officially broke through the ten thousand mark.

In addition to the Thunder Path, Killing Path, Human Path, Soul Path, and Blood Path, all of them also saw growth, with each adding more than seven thousand Dao Marks.

Currently, the Killing Path has reached 47,000 Dao Marks, the Soul Path has reached 37,000, and the Human Path and Blood Path are both around 27,000.

The sheer number of Dao traces, especially in the Dao of Slaughter alone, is comparable to that of an eighth-level Gu Immortal who hasn't survived countless tribulations.

According to Fang Sheng's estimation, Fang Si probably has quite a few Dao marks on his body, but they are likely to be scattered, since he only switched his main cultivation style to Dao Refining after many reincarnations.

Given the speed at which Dao traces accumulate in the world of Godslayer, even if Fang Sheng were given two thousand years to die, he felt that with his ascetic cultivation methods, he might not be able to accumulate a very high number of Dao traces.

Therefore, it is estimated that Fang Si had at most around 200,000 Dao marks on his body.

Even worse, if his development is not good, he will probably only have 120,000 Dao traces at the level of the conventional eighth revolution and first tribulation.

After a moment's thought, Fang Sheng temporarily put the idea aside.

No matter how meticulously detailed a guess is made, it is still just a guess without any solid basis.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Fang Si's realm was not grown by devouring divine laws like he did, but rather by continuously refining Gu worms, which naturally increased his Dao traces.

Therefore, compared to the Dao traces in his hand, perhaps the sheer number of Gu worms was more threatening.

Putting aside everything else, the Five Fingers Heart Sword and Myriad Self techniques that Fang Sheng displayed in his memories back then were enough to make Fang Sheng extremely wary.

Although it was a poorly made imitation, it is undeniable that it still retained some of the original's charm.

Having stopped thinking about Fang Sheng's death and having already completed his promotion, Fang Sheng left the blessed land and returned to Shangjing City.

Although he still possesses the Gate of Truth and the Origin of Nyx, he does not intend to use them at this time.
