[00:00]

All the students shouted that they would

[00:02]

enlist for combat and defend the

[00:04]

country. But among them, there was only

[00:06]

one student who didn't do the same.

[00:08]

Nanzing stepped forward and stated he

[00:10]

would join the support sector. Everyone

[00:12]

was astonished. How could someone with

[00:14]

such excellent grades be such a coward?

[00:16]

Just 5 minutes ago, the general had

[00:18]

announced that 10,000 clans of enemy

[00:21]

races had invaded the human continent.

[00:23]

The battles had left the cemeteries

[00:25]

full. The general held a ceremony to

[00:27]

honor those who died in combat. He

[00:28]

shouted, "Here are the heroes who fought

[00:30]

for the nation, your brothers, sisters,

[00:32]

and sons. Will you let their sacrifice

[00:35]

be in vain? Enlist, and we will defeat

[00:37]

the enemies." Everyone was overcome with

[00:39]

emotion, and 99%

[00:42]

enlisted. Only one person refused to go

[00:45]

to combat. This was so shocking that

[00:47]

later the newspapers covered the story

[00:48]

of the young man who refused to fight.

[00:51]

While reading the insults online,

[00:52]

Nanziing was the only one who knew the

[00:55]

truth. In his past life, he fought

[00:57]

bravely in the army and was one of the

[00:59]

few survivors. After the battle, he

[01:01]

joined the strategic war leadership. It

[01:03]

was only then, while in command, that he

[01:05]

studied deeply and discovered the

[01:07]

perfect synergy of talents that can lead

[01:09]

to unlimited power potential. He

[01:11]

unlocked the five talents required, but

[01:13]

ran out of time to reach absolute power

[01:15]

before every human on the planet was

[01:17]

eliminated. If he had discovered this

[01:19]

earlier, everything would have been

[01:20]

different. Fate wanted to test him for

[01:22]

by some miracle, Nanzying was reborn 10

[01:25]

years before the end of humanity. His

[01:27]

five talents were dormant inside him.

[01:29]

Nanzing knew that the people who went to

[01:31]

battle today would not survive, and he

[01:33]

couldn't change that. He went to the

[01:35]

youth training grounds. Now that

[01:36]

everyone had gone to war, there was no

[01:38]

one left to use the facility. The women

[01:40]

and the elderly were working there to

[01:42]

process the captured monsters into food

[01:44]

for the soldiers. Nanzying approached

[01:46]

them and offered to kill the monsters to

[01:49]

help [music] out. The women thanked the

[01:50]

young man, but as the protagonist walked

[01:53]

away, one of the ladies recognized him.

[01:55]

He is that coward who refused to fight

[01:57]

alongside the others. The girl from

[01:59]

earlier took Nanziing to the holding

[02:00]

area for the monsters. The protagonist

[02:02]

has a plan. To awaken his talents, he

[02:05]

needs to collect monster crystals, and

[02:07]

this is the only place in the city where

[02:09]

that is possible. The girl was impressed

[02:11]

by his courage to help and also thought

[02:13]

he was very handsome. One of the older

[02:15]

women approached the girl and started

[02:16]

poisoning her mind, saying that the boy

[02:18]

is as handsome as he is a coward. He is

[02:21]

the infamous Nanzi Ying who refused to

[02:24]

fight. Inside the training room, the

[02:26]

protagonist was determined. When all the

[02:28]

gates opened, the monsters attacked

[02:30]

furiously from all sides. Then, with a

[02:33]

precise strike, he lands a powerful kick

[02:36]

right on the back of the creature's

[02:37]

head. As [music] his feet touch the

[02:38]

ground, he swiftly extracts the source

[02:40]

stones from the fallen monster's body.

[02:42]

His talent enhancement mechanism works

[02:45]

just as it did before. He knows every

[02:47]

level up allows him to tame a new mutant

[02:49]

beast. Clutching the item, he affirms

[02:51]

that he can endure wounds of this

[02:52]

intensity. As long as the blows don't

[02:54]

strike his vital points, rapid healing

[02:56]

is no problem at all. A creature charges

[02:58]

him, but Nanzi meets it headon without a

[03:01]

flicker of hesitation. Using one

[03:02]

monster's body as a springboard, he

[03:04]

slices another out of the air, then

[03:06]

twists his body to nail a third with a

[03:08]

powerful kick. Back on the ground, Nanzi

[03:11]

Ying decides to clear out the remaining

[03:12]

airborne distractions first. He propels

[03:15]

himself skyward, striking down multiple

[03:17]

foes as he ascends. Just as he

[03:19]

anticipated, his combat efficiency has

[03:21]

soared. He surveys the defeated

[03:23]

creature's bodies scattered all around

[03:25]

him. Suddenly, the undisputed leader

[03:27]

emerges before him, the Umbrella Bird

[03:29]

Emperor. He immediately recognizes that

[03:31]

in his current state, taking down this

[03:33]

behemoth will be a monumental challenge.

[03:36]

He leaps back, dodging the Emperor's

[03:38]

attack, acknowledging that a direct

[03:39]

confrontation is simply not an option

[03:41]

right now. Midair, he twists his body,

[03:44]

resolving to focus solely on its weak

[03:46]

points. Nanziing charges forward,

[03:48]

striking the emperor without hesitation,

[03:50]

but he quickly realizes the monster's

[03:52]

durability is far greater than he

[03:54]

remembered from his past life. Even so,

[03:56]

he pushes forward, delivering yet

[03:57]

another fierce blow. Meanwhile,

[03:59]

elsewhere, an intercom announces the

[04:01]

start of the lunch break. Xiaolu asks

[04:03]

Aunt Wong and Sister Lee why they aren't

[04:05]

heading to the cafeteria. Aunt Wong

[04:06]

scoffs, saying she wants to see how long

[04:08]

he can keep up this charade. Sister Lee

[04:10]

bets he'll bolt soon, and Aunt Wong

[04:12]

readily agrees, adding they'll tackle

[04:14]

him if he tries. Shiaolu, however,

[04:16]

doubts an A-level test is that simple.

[04:18]

Just then, an announcement blar.

[04:20]

Participant Nanzeeing has completed the

[04:22]

first floor of the A-level test. Sister

[04:24]

Lee gasps, baffled by the speed. Aunt

[04:27]

Wang, however, snorts, assuming he

[04:28]

simply gave up and couldn't hack it. She

[04:30]

decides to check for herself. The moment

[04:32]

she turns, she bumps right into someone

[04:34]

and promptly lands on her backside,

[04:36]

staring up at Nanzi Ying himself. A

[04:39]

scoreboard flashes, announcing,

[04:40]

"Participant Nanzi Ying has achieved

[04:42]

2,000 kills, setting a new record for

[04:44]

the first floor." Aunt Wang sputters,

[04:46]

demanding to know how he got into such a

[04:48]

state and if he really passed the

[04:50]

A-level [music] test. He simply

[04:52]

confirms, "I passed." Then Nanzi Ying

[04:54]

coolly states that the demon bodies are

[04:56]

ready for processing. As he turns to

[04:58]

leave, Shiaoliu watches him, her eyes

[05:00]

sharp with curiosity. When she turns to

[05:03]

organize the processing, she's

[05:04]

confronted by an absolutely immense pile

[05:06]

of bodies. The progress speed, however,

[05:08]

is merely adequate. The experience

[05:10]

required for the next level has more

[05:12]

than doubled. His data confirms Beast

[05:14]

Tamer level two, making it impossible to

[05:16]

reach level three on just the first

[05:17]

floor. An urgent war report crackles

[05:20]

over the intercom. The next offensive

[05:21]

wave is about to begin. In his previous

[05:24]

life, even two powerful skill bearers

[05:26]

weren't enough to prevent the eighth

[05:27]

defense line from teetering on the brink

[05:29]

of collapse. He turns off the shower,

[05:31]

resolute. There's no time for rest. He

[05:33]

needs to accelerate his preparations and

[05:35]

head straight to the tower's second

[05:36]

floor. As workers haul away the monster

[05:38]

corpses, they murmur amongst themselves.

[05:41]

They hadn't expected Nanzi to pass, much

[05:43]

less believe he'd need a lengthy

[05:45]

recovery period. Sister Lee concedes

[05:47]

that he gave his all. After all, few

[05:49]

people ever pass an A-level test. Aunt

[05:51]

Wong, however, warns that trying to do

[05:53]

everything at once is foolish. The best

[05:55]

path is always step by step. They wonder

[05:57]

aloud how many days he'll need to

[05:59]

recover, even joking that he might never

[06:01]

return. They watch him limp down the

[06:03]

corridor, fading from view. One of the

[06:05]

workers then turns, calling out Nanzi

[06:07]

Ying<unk>s name. Sister Lee urges calm,

[06:09]

but Aunt Wongs face contorts with utter

[06:12]

contempt at his unexpected return. She

[06:14]

snars, demanding to know what else he

[06:16]

wants. Nanzying simply replies, "I'm

[06:19]

heading to the second floor to continue

[06:20]

the test." Aunt Wong stares utterly

[06:23]

stunned, then repeats the question. "You

[06:25]

actually intend to go to the second

[06:27]

floor?" She then demands to know what

[06:28]

he's trying to prove, pushing forward

[06:30]

with such grievous injuries. Xiaolu

[06:32]

gently advises him to wait until he's

[06:34]

fully recovered, warning him that the

[06:36]

next floor is crawling with massive,

[06:37]

vicious mutant beasts. He thanks her for

[06:40]

her concern, but firmly states he

[06:42]

prefers to handle this on his own.

[06:43]

Indignant, Aunt Wong yells, "If you're

[06:45]

so damn capable, you should be on the

[06:47]

front lines." Xiaolu watches him walk

[06:49]

away, wondering why he's putting on such

[06:51]

a show here of all places. She muses

[06:53]

that Mr. Nan doesn't seem like the type

[06:54]

to fear death or hide in the rear. Just

[06:56]

then, the system announces the start of

[06:58]

the A-level test on the second floor. He

[07:01]

immediately senses the second floor is

[07:02]

vastly different from the first,

[07:04]

emanating a far more intense pressure.

[07:07]

Nanzi Ying deafly dodges the onslaught

[07:09]

of attacking creatures. Despite his

[07:11]

agility, one beast lands a brutal direct

[07:14]

hit. The force sends him violently

[07:15]

slamming backward. He realizes he can't

[07:17]

afford to take direct blows. He has no

[07:19]

advantage in size or strength,

[07:21]

especially not with his current

[07:22]

injuries. As he pushes himself up, the

[07:25]

beasts seem to mock his battered form.

[07:27]

Even so, he declares, "I am not one to

[07:29]

charge in unprepared." He then glares at

[07:32]

the creatures arrayed before him. A

[07:33]

moment later, he [music] leaps clean

[07:35]

over one of them. In a single fluid

[07:37]

motion, he plunges his blade deep into

[07:39]

the monster's back. [music] The creature

[07:41]

begins to dissolve, crumbling into dust

[07:43]

before his eyes. Since these level two

[07:45]

mutant beasts are well within his

[07:47]

capabilities, he decides to tame them

[07:49]

before engaging them directly. He

[07:51]

activates [music] his beast tamer

[07:52]

talent. The creatures are engulfed by a

[07:54]

surge of his power. Every single beast

[07:56]

kneels subserviently before him. He

[07:58]

nods, confident this will be enough to

[08:00]

keep them under his complete control.

[08:02]

Finally, he decides it's time to keep

[08:04]

evolving, aiming to hit the third level

[08:06]

in one swift go. 3 days later, in Yay

[08:09]

City's training grounds, a worker calls

[08:11]

for help from a colleague as they

[08:12]

process carcasses. Sister Lee urges them

[08:15]

to move the meat quickly, citing a lack

[08:17]

of space. While Nanzeeing rests nearby,

[08:19]

he decides he's done enough for today.

[08:21]

His status shows he's reached level six

[08:23]

mutant beast tamer. [music] In just

[08:25]

three days, he's called over 10,000

[08:27]

beasts. And with his taming talent

[08:29]

hitting level six, he can finally

[08:31]

venture into the wilderness. Beasts

[08:33]

rarely attack the city directly, thanks

[08:35]

to the presence of super ability users

[08:37]

and firearms, making the wild an

[08:39]

incredibly dangerous place. Still,

[08:41]

taming them is crucial to his strategy

[08:43]

[music] against the 10,000 races. An

[08:45]

older worker asks Nanziing if they'll

[08:47]

need overtime to move another batch,

[08:49]

mentioning everyone's eagerness to

[08:51]

support the front lines. He stands,

[08:53]

declining, explaining he needs to leave

[08:55]

early today. As he leaves, Aunt Wong

[08:57]

snipes, already giving up after a few

[08:59]

days, huh? Another worker defends him,

[09:01]

claiming tower progress improved because

[09:03]

of him, but she sharply tells him to

[09:05]

mind his own business. He retorts,

[09:07]

accusing her of being part of the

[09:09]

problem herself, nagging Nanzi Ying

[09:11]

instead of focusing on her own duties.

[09:13]

Shaolu approaches, informing him the

[09:15]

tasks are on schedule and suggesting he

[09:17]

take a break. He thanks her for the

[09:18]

thought, but insists he truly has to go.

[09:20]

She agrees, wishing him a good rest. At

[09:23]

the city gates, a guard in a vehicle

[09:24]

yells for people to clear the way and

[09:26]

not block the road. A convoy of military

[09:28]

trucks rumbles through the city as an

[09:30]

announcement blar, informing citizens

[09:33]

that wounded from the front lines need

[09:35]

urgent medical attention. Nanziing

[09:37]

observes the sheer number of injured,

[09:39]

deducing the frontline situation must be

[09:41]

critical. Some on the street point

[09:43]

skyward, shouting as rockets streak

[09:45]

across the air. As the projectiles fly,

[09:47]

a civilian comments that it looks like

[09:49]

they're gaining an advantage. Still, he

[09:51]

knows the situation is grim, requiring

[09:53]

long-range support, hinting that the

[09:55]

defense lines collapse isn't far off. He

[09:58]

adjusts his mask and tightens his grip

[09:59]

on his blade. Outside the city, he

[10:01]

trekks through the snow, affirming to

[10:03]

himself there's no time to waste.

[10:05]

Further ahead, a man in a stalled truck

[10:07]

questions why they stopped at such a

[10:09]

dangerous hour. The driver replies that

[10:11]

the vehicle broke down, leaving them

[10:13]

stranded at the worst possible time. A

[10:15]

woman suggests abandoning the truck

[10:17]

because of the mutant wolves, while

[10:18]

another man agrees to grab their gear so

[10:20]

they can return together. Suddenly, the

[10:22]

group spots a silhouette racing through

[10:24]

the snow. Nanzying zips past the convoy

[10:27]

at high speed. The woman by the window

[10:28]

wonders who would be leaving the city in

[10:30]

the dead of night. The man in the truck

[10:32]

yells for him to be careful, warning

[10:33]

that giant extremely dangerous mutant

[10:35]

wolves are ahead. Inside the vehicle, a

[10:38]

young woman warns that the director has

[10:39]

been calling repeatedly as the city

[10:41]

hospital is overflowing and urgently

[10:43]

needs the medicine. She warns that the

[10:45]

area is dangerous and the team is

[10:47]

unarmed, but her colleague retorts,

[10:49]

saying they've dealt with plenty of

[10:51]

unstable types and can't get involved.

[10:53]

The driver decides the conversation has

[10:55]

gone far enough and prepares to leave.

[10:57]

Suddenly, they both look back as outside

[10:59]

a man is attacked and starts screaming

[11:01]

for help. Her companion grabs her

[11:03]

tightly, yelling for her to drive

[11:04]

immediately, warning that a giant steel

[11:07]

wolf is right behind them. The young

[11:08]

woman grabs a rifle, orders her friend

[11:10]

to accelerate, and takes aim. She aims

[11:13]

carefully and gives the order to open

[11:14]

fire. Hearing the shots, Nanziang

[11:16]

realizes they're coming from the herb

[11:18]

gathering team's direction. He quickly

[11:20]

notices it's not just an attack on the

[11:22]

convoy, but a full-blown ambush by a

[11:24]

wolf pack. Given this, he concludes the

[11:26]

situation plays right into his hands,

[11:28]

saving him some effort. With the rising

[11:30]

spiritual energy concentration, beasts

[11:33]

have become smarter and more organized.

[11:35]

One of the wolves charges directly at

[11:36]

the convoy truck. The young woman

[11:38]

reloads her weapon as the driver warns

[11:40]

her to be careful. She calmly replies,

[11:43]

telling her to seize the opportunity and

[11:44]

drive while she keeps the wolves at bay.

[11:46]

The driver agrees, preparing to

[11:48]

accelerate without hesitation. Nanziing

[11:51]

faces the pack on a snow-covered cliff.

[11:53]

From a higher vantage point, he spots

[11:55]

the wolf king, wondering if the creature

[11:57]

is silently observing everything. He

[11:58]

then realizes that by dealing with the

[12:00]

pack, the medical team might just escape

[12:03]

with their lives. The alpha beast

[12:04]

charges directly towards him. With the

[12:06]

boss appearing, he declares the battle

[12:08]

has truly begun and rushes towards the

[12:10]

wolves. He positions himself among the

[12:13]

bodies of the defeated creatures. Then

[12:15]

he activates [music] his beast tamer

[12:16]

talent. The ability unleashes, seeking

[12:18]

to awaken and subjugate the surrounding

[12:20]

creatures. Intense energy manifests

[12:23]

around him. The Wolf King responds with

[12:25]

a mighty roar. Their forces collide on

[12:27]

the battlefield in an explosive clash.

[12:29]

Nanziing begins to subjugate the wolves

[12:31]

one by one. He declares his strategy.

[12:33]

Capture the king to control the entire

[12:35]

pack. The creatures look up, surprised

[12:37]

by this display of power. Then he

[12:39]

asserts himself, manifesting absolute

[12:41]

authority over them. The ability slams

[12:43]

into the ground, sending wolves flying.

[12:46]

Next, he turns directly to the leader,

[12:48]

declaring its domination as the top

[12:49]

priority. Nanzing advances towards the

[12:52]

steelwolf king and uses his ability in

[12:54]

an attempt to tame the creature. The

[12:55]

mighty wolf fiercely resists the power

[12:57]

engulfing it. Still, it slowly begins to

[13:00]

yield under the overwhelming pressure.

[13:01]

At the same time, the other packwolves

[13:03]

collapse to the ground. Back in the

[13:05]

truck, the young woman continues firing

[13:07]

at the remaining beasts. She screams for

[13:09]

her friend to accelerate and get them

[13:11]

out of there as fast as possible. The

[13:13]

driver slams the accelerator, trying to

[13:15]

leave immediately. However, she realizes

[13:17]

the truck refuses to start. Faced with

[13:20]

this, her companion declares they're

[13:22]

doomed. Outside, two wolves attack the

[13:24]

vehicle almost simultaneously. Then the

[13:26]

windshield shatters under the violent

[13:28]

force of the impact. Soon after, one of

[13:30]

the creatures lunges through the broken

[13:32]

glass. Suddenly though, the attacks

[13:34]

cease and the wolves silently surround

[13:36]

the truck. One of the young women

[13:37]

wonders what's happening and why. All of

[13:39]

a sudden, the wolves look almost cute.

[13:41]

One of the creatures stares at them with

[13:43]

a completely different expression. Right

[13:45]

after, the entire pack runs off away

[13:47]

from the convoy. A top the cliff,

[13:49]

Nanziing stands beside the wolf king,

[13:52]

observing the movement below. From a top

[13:54]

the truck, the blonde woman realizes the

[13:56]

giant mutant wolves have been tamed.

[13:58]

Surprised, she wonders what level of

[14:00]

tamer could possibly achieve something

[14:02]

like this, finding the scene

[14:03]

unbelievable, he checks his status.

[14:05]

Level seven, beast tamer. He decides not

[14:08]

to waste precious source stones right

[14:09]

now. Mounted on the wolf king, he orders

[14:11]

the pack to disperse until summoned

[14:13]

again. Then he reinforces to the

[14:15]

creature that humans are not to be

[14:17]

attacked. Nanzing observes the horizon,

[14:19]

aware he needs to tame all beasts from

[14:21]

the nearby uninhabited areas. For his

[14:24]

grand battle plan, he knows he must find

[14:26]

a way to gather an army of over 10

[14:28]

million mutant beasts. Furthermore, he

[14:30]

recalls that securing a safe path for

[14:32]

the medicinal herb gathering team is

[14:34]

also crucial. Suddenly, [music] he

[14:36]

receives an emergency meeting summons

[14:38]

from the factory, making him wonder what

[14:40]

the hell happened. In the training

[14:41]

grounds of the Yay City branch, a

[14:43]

booming voice declared everyone present

[14:45]

a complete and utter disappointment.

[14:47]

They [music] had hoped that with their

[14:48]

accelerated progress, they could

[14:50]

alleviate the crushing pressure on the

[14:51]

front lines. But an official flanked by

[14:54]

two stern guards scoffed, claiming they

[14:56]

still struggled even against slightly

[14:57]

higher level mutant beasts. The elder

[14:59]

mayor tried to explain, saying this was

[15:02]

the first time Yei City had dealt with

[15:03]

level four or higher beasts, and they

[15:05]

simply needed time to adapt. The

[15:07]

official merely repeated, "Time with

[15:09]

disdain." He demanded to know if they

[15:11]

truly grasped the gravity of the

[15:12]

situation. Frontline troops were on the

[15:14]

brink of starvation. He bellowed that

[15:16]

the mutant beast stockpile in the rear

[15:18]

was dwindling and they needed to start

[15:20]

taking down higher level beasts to

[15:22]

support the army. The elder mayor

[15:24]

agreed, promising more people from Ya

[15:26]

City would be sent soon to continue the

[15:28]

task. However, he was cut off. The

[15:30]

official stated he'd watched them for

[15:32]

half a day and concluded no one here was

[15:34]

useful, accusing them of deliberately

[15:36]

delaying supplies. He griped that Y city

[15:38]

had been holding back progress, even

[15:40]

pointing out that the first deserter had

[15:42]

come from this very place. Finally, he

[15:44]

sneered that the city lived up to its

[15:46]

irresponsible reputation, incapable of

[15:48]

handling any real responsibility. An

[15:50]

older woman bristled, yelling that her

[15:52]

husband and three sons died on the front

[15:54]

lines, asking how he dared call them

[15:56]

irresponsible. Auntie Wong added that

[15:58]

they all worked in shifts just to keep

[16:00]

the supply schedule, accusing him of

[16:02]

devaluing their desperate efforts. The

[16:04]

man simply sneered at their complaints.

[16:06]

His guards stepped forward and he

[16:08]

questioned if they truly dared

[16:10]

disrespect an official. In response,

[16:12]

Auntie Wang shot back, "What do you

[16:14]

intend to do?" Suddenly, a fist slammed

[16:16]

into one of the guard's faces, sending

[16:18]

his glasses flying through the air.

[16:20]

Nanziing appeared, holding the stunned

[16:22]

guard, and calmly asked the official not

[16:24]

to resort to violence. The workers

[16:26]

cheered, celebrating the arrival of

[16:28]

Comrade Xiaoan. The elder mayor wondered

[16:30]

what Nanzi Ying was doing here and more

[16:33]

importantly how he managed to take down

[16:35]

a level five ability user. The official

[16:37]

spun around demanding to know who he

[16:39]

was, then pointed a weapon at Nanzi

[16:41]

Ying, accusing the Ya City folk of

[16:43]

plotting a mutiny. Nanziing stared back,

[16:45]

a flicker of recognition in his eyes. He

[16:47]

knew this man. His memory flashed back

[16:49]

to the traitor of his past [music] life,

[16:51]

Lin Yukai, famously known as the supply

[16:53]

line leech. In that life, this bastard

[16:56]

had trafficked military supplies, and

[16:58]

now he was clearly eyeing Yei City's

[17:00]

processing speed. "No wonder Nanziing

[17:02]

found him here." With that certainty, he

[17:04]

decided he had to deal with this

[17:06]

official, but not before draining him of

[17:07]

all his resources. "There are no rebels

[17:10]

here," Nanziing declared, stepping

[17:11]

forward. "Why point a weapon at people

[17:13]

who have sacrificed so much for the

[17:15]

war?" Meanwhile, a worker shouted, "What

[17:17]

more do you want from us?" The official

[17:19]

suddenly realized this situation

[17:21]

wouldn't end well. He scrutinized

[17:23]

Nanzying<unk>s face, trying to place why

[17:25]

the figure seemed so familiar. After a

[17:27]

few tense moments, it clicked. He

[17:29]

finally recognized Nanzying as the

[17:31]

deserter from Y City, accusing him of

[17:33]

hiding here and assaulting a soldier.

[17:35]

Nanzing simply shrugged, "I don't care."

[17:37]

But he warned the official, "If I die,

[17:39]

the supply progress that's been

[17:40]

accelerating will only get even slower."

[17:42]

The elder mayor and the other man

[17:44]

gasped, shocked [music] to discover this

[17:46]

was Nanziing, the legendary

[17:48]

slaughterhouse ace. Nanziing continued,

[17:50]

explaining that highlevel beasts could

[17:52]

interfere with the human mind. That was

[17:54]

the real reason the official came to Yay

[17:56]

City. But I can't help you, he added.

[17:58]

You plan to kill me. At that [music]

[18:00]

moment, the official realized a deserter

[18:02]

so familiar with mutant beasts had

[18:04]

completely turned the tables on him.

[18:06]

From the reactions of the people around

[18:08]

them, Nanzing<unk>s words didn't sound

[18:10]

like a lie. The elder mayor decided to

[18:12]

observe how this would play out. The

[18:14]

official eventually concluded that if

[18:16]

Nanzing was willing to take on the task,

[18:18]

it suited him perfectly. He proposed a

[18:20]

military oath. He would send 5,000 level

[18:23]

four mutant beasts the very next day. He

[18:25]

knew level four beasts were among the

[18:27]

strongest, possessing high defense and

[18:29]

powerful mental disturbance. For him,

[18:31]

these demons were the perfect material

[18:33]

to enhance his Assura talent. While Lin

[18:35]

Yukai would do anything for money, his

[18:37]

plan was [music] clear. first slaughter

[18:39]

all the beasts, strengthen his own

[18:40]

talent, and then eradicate Lin Yukai and

[18:43]

his entire network once and for all. The

[18:45]

next day, word quickly spreads. The

[18:47]

5,000 level four mutant beasts sent by

[18:49]

the officer have arrived. The Yay City

[18:52]

branch is summoned for inspection. Lin

[18:54]

Yukai, the military supply officer

[18:56]

himself, then steps forward to read a

[18:58]

military order, assigning logistics

[19:00]

soldier Nanziing to process all 5,000

[19:03]

level four mutant beasts. He states the

[19:06]

task must be completed within a week and

[19:08]

Nanzi will be under his direct

[19:10]

authority. Moments later, Lin Yukai

[19:12]

accuses Nanziing of insubordination,

[19:14]

inciting riots among workers and

[19:16]

attacking an officer. He warns that any

[19:18]

delay will result in immediate

[19:20]

execution. No higher approval needed.

[19:22]

Chillingly, he specifies the execution

[19:24]

will be carried out by a firing squad.

[19:26]

The surrounding workers react in shock,

[19:28]

murmuring about the mention of a firing

[19:30]

squad. Lin Yukai then mockingly asks

[19:32]

Nanzi if he's scared, reminding him how

[19:35]

easily he'd agreed to the military order

[19:37]

just yesterday. He adds that when the

[19:38]

time comes, it will be his personal duty

[19:40]

to execute him. Lin Yukai finishes with

[19:42]

a smirk, stating he's sure he'll enjoy

[19:44]

the process immensely. Nanziing, ever

[19:47]

composed, simply remarks there's too

[19:49]

much talk for a mere messenger. When one

[19:51]

of the guards reacts, Lin Yukai cuts him

[19:53]

off, commenting they should be more

[19:55]

lenient with the dying. The show can

[19:57]

begin, he declares, I'll be waiting. One

[19:59]

of the men informs them that unlike

[20:01]

lower-level beasts, [music] these

[20:02]

high-level creatures require

[20:03]

tranquilizer smoke. But the key

[20:05]

components have all been sent to field

[20:07]

hospitals. Shaolu warns Nanzi to be

[20:09]

extra careful as there might not be

[20:11]

enough doses. [music] The only reply is

[20:13]

an acknowledgement that the warning has

[20:15]

been noted. As Nanzi walks off, someone

[20:18]

questions his confidence given [music]

[20:19]

the beasts are capable of mental

[20:21]

attacks, speculating he might be a

[20:23]

psychic. Lin Yukai's bodyguard reports

[20:25]

that the boy showed no reaction to

[20:27]

psychic tests, but Lin Yukai dismisses

[20:29]

it, preferring to simply await the

[20:31]

execution, feigning concern over the

[20:33]

creature's overwhelming mental power. He

[20:35]

scoffs, [music] "It's a shame the kid

[20:36]

will probably go mad before that, unable

[20:38]

to even feel the fear of death

[20:40]

approaching, he then complains that the

[20:41]

boss is petty and that trusting a

[20:43]

deserter was just a waste of time." Lin

[20:45]

Yukai declares that after the boy is

[20:47]

executed, all the spoils will be his.

[20:50]

However, the bodyguard reminds him he

[20:52]

was only sent to supervise and must know

[20:54]

how to report correctly to his superior.

[20:56]

He assures Lin Yukai that everything

[20:58]

that happens here will be reported

[20:59]

truthfully. Meanwhile, Nanzying observes

[21:02]

that even physically immobilized, the

[21:04]

highle beasts remain mentally

[21:05]

formidable. He assesses the situation

[21:07]

and surprisingly admits that it's not

[21:10]

bad at all. An illusion manifests before

[21:12]

him, leading him to comment on the

[21:14]

creature's ability to conjure such vivid

[21:16]

images. The elucory figure advances.

[21:18]

Soon after, a skeleton descends from

[21:20]

above and attacks Nanzeeing. The attack

[21:22]

dissipates upon hitting the ground.

[21:24]

Nanzing reacts immediately,

[21:26]

counterattacking the beast, remarking it

[21:28]

was a good try, but still just another

[21:30]

illusion. He confidently states that as

[21:32]

long as they can't control him mentally,

[21:34]

they're nothing more than stationary

[21:35]

targets. He adds that he still needs

[21:37]

more energy to enhance his own talent,

[21:39]

then throws down a challenge, demanding

[21:41]

they reveal their true abilities. The

[21:43]

situation is better now, he declares,

[21:45]

even as shadows grip his feet. A voice

[21:47]

then whispers, suggesting he's exhausted

[21:49]

and should just let everything go. It

[21:51]

insists he think of the price he's paid

[21:53]

and those who died, causing him to call

[21:55]

out for his father. The voices start

[21:57]

questioning if it was all worth it, if

[21:59]

protecting humanity made any sense,

[22:01]

urging him to stop resisting fate. In a

[22:03]

seductive tone, the entity invites him

[22:05]

to simply take a break. But Nanziing

[22:07]

stands firm, asserting that his revenge

[22:10]

still needs to be completed and

[22:11]

humanity's fate must be decided by

[22:13]

humans themselves. The creature

[22:15]

questions how he endures such a massive

[22:17]

amount of energy and advises him to give

[22:19]

up. In response, Nanzi Ying explains

[22:22]

that by activating his Asura talent, his

[22:24]

mental and physical power will

[22:26]

drastically increase and this energy is

[22:28]

the fastest shortcut to reach that

[22:30]

state. Finally, he commands the energy

[22:32]

to become part of his power and

[22:34]

activates his Assura talent. Elsewhere,

[22:36]

a man grows furious on the phone,

[22:38]

pressured over a delayed delivery. He

[22:40]

barks orders to his subordinate, telling

[22:42]

them to string the other party along.

[22:44]

Meanwhile, a woman serves wine to her

[22:46]

boss, suggesting he spend more time with

[22:48]

her. After all, the end of the world is

[22:50]

drawing near. He scoffs, remarking that

[22:52]

demand for their products has become

[22:53]

urgent, and it's better [music] to make

[22:55]

quick money before the prepared mutant

[22:57]

beasts are lost. Annoyed, he complains

[22:59]

about ambitious subordinates and secret

[23:01]

military investigations, calling it all

[23:03]

a huge pain in the ass before gulping

[23:05]

down his wine. Moments later, he wonders

[23:07]

where he could find a stable location to

[23:09]

handle highlevel mutant beasts. Just as

[23:11]

his phone rings, impatiently, he

[23:13]

snatches it up, yelling at the caller to

[23:15]

speak. The other person begins reporting

[23:17]

on the military order at the Yay City

[23:18]

branch. He grumbles that those fools are

[23:21]

useless as always, questioning if the

[23:22]

boy named Nan has been dealt with yet.

[23:25]

However, the subordinate informs him

[23:26]

they've just returned and the job is

[23:28]

practically done in only 4 days. The man

[23:30]

on the phone explains that the beasts

[23:32]

were level four, far beyond [music] the

[23:34]

city's capabilities, making the boss

[23:36]

ask, stunned, if they really finished.

[23:39]

The response confirms it. The task

[23:41]

involving 5,000 level four mutant beasts

[23:43]

was completed, and it was all done by

[23:45]

Nanziing. Hearing this, the boss laughs,

[23:47]

asking how the kid is doing. He's told

[23:49]

Nan looks exhausted, but is in good

[23:51]

condition. The boss then orders them to

[23:53]

keep the boy under surveillance and to

[23:54]

act if he does anything beyond killing

[23:56]

beasts. Lin Yukai confirms, still

[23:59]

reeling from the task's completion.

[24:01]

Another man, likely Lin Yukai, inwardly

[24:03]

questions how this was possible. He'd

[24:05]

investigated Nanzing and was certain the

[24:07]

young man possessed no psychic

[24:08]

abilities. Suddenly, an information

[24:11]

screen flashes detailing Nanzing's

[24:13]

talent tree. It shows his current Asura

[24:15]

level is five, and he's unlocked the

[24:17]

alloy evil blade ability. Nanzing

[24:19]

reflects that both his physical and

[24:21]

mental strength have increased. Though

[24:23]

he hasn't reached level six yet, he

[24:25]

successfully awakened the first ability

[24:26]

of his assura talent. While receiving

[24:28]

care, he concludes that he can now delve

[24:31]

deeper into the wilderness to tame

[24:32]

higher level beasts and accelerate his

[24:34]

plans. One of the workers praises

[24:36]

comrade Taanan for bringing them honor,

[24:38]

otherwise certain people would have

[24:40]

belittled them. Lin Yukai mutters that

[24:42]

it was clear they couldn't handle the

[24:43]

situation, so they arrogantly decided to

[24:45]

use them instead. At that moment,

[24:48]

Nanziing realizes that the increase in

[24:50]

his Assura talent level has also

[24:52]

enhanced his perception. That man, he

[24:54]

thinks, is an ability user after all.

[24:56]

Liny Yukai, fuming, is held back by his

[24:59]

bodyguard. He rants about his income

[25:01]

being cut off and being insulted,

[25:03]

deciding he needs to investigate that

[25:05]

boy again. The bodyguard warns him not

[25:07]

to forget that as long as they complete

[25:08]

their tasks, their superiors don't care

[25:11]

about the methods. By acting this way,

[25:13]

Linu Kai is going against the boss's

[25:15]

rules. He further states they need to

[25:17]

wait until the boss is done using

[25:18]

Nanziing before they can get rid of him,

[25:20]

adding that there's still a lot of

[25:22]

residual mental power lingering in the

[25:24]

area. At this, Lin Yukai declares enough

[25:27]

nonsense and vows to report personally

[25:29]

to the boss when the time is right.

[25:31]

Nonziing watches the people around him

[25:33]

intently. He recognizes this as a

[25:35]

psychic ability trick designed to attack

[25:37]

his mind, but confidently asserts that

[25:39]

they've miscalculated. This, he muses,

[25:41]

is the perfect moment to test his Aora

[25:44]

talent abilities. Linyukai begins to

[25:46]

question what's happening, lamenting

[25:47]

that he couldn't invade Nanzi<unk>s

[25:49]

mental system. Confused, he wonders why

[25:51]

he can't see anything in the absolute

[25:53]

darkness as he should be able to

[25:54]

perceive mental entities. A voice calls

[25:57]

him, making him spin around. The voice

[25:59]

guides him to the side where he realizes

[26:00]

he's surrounded by dense energy. Before

[26:03]

him, a condensed mental entity of

[26:04]

malevolent energy manifests. Terrified,

[26:07]

Lin Yukai shouts, demanding to know how

[26:09]

Nanzi Ying can possess psychic abilities

[26:12]

and have increased his power so much in

[26:14]

such a short time. He distinctly

[26:15]

remembers investigating everything about

[26:17]

him. He screams, "Who the hell are you

[26:19]

really?" The energy hurls him backward.

[26:22]

The entity calmly states that it doesn't

[26:23]

matter who it is, reminding Lin Yukai

[26:26]

that he was the one who decided to spy

[26:28]

on its mental world. Liny Yukai comments

[26:30]

on the energy's terrifying level and

[26:32]

begins to beg for mercy, [music] but the

[26:34]

entity simply replies that it will give

[26:36]

him a good show. The figure then charges

[26:38]

and attacks Lin Yukai. Back in reality,

[26:40]

the workers watch the scene in shock.

[26:42]

Lin Yukai, now raving, declares that

[26:44]

everything there belongs to him and no

[26:46]

one should even think about touching his

[26:48]

money. He scrambles to his feet,

[26:50]

babbling that he was an idiot and could

[26:51]

have handled everything himself. The

[26:53]

workers whisper amongst themselves,

[26:55]

wondering if the leadership pressure is

[26:56]

truly so intense. While one woman

[26:58]

worries about being held responsible

[27:00]

since Lin Yukai couldn't endure just a

[27:02]

few sentences, the bodyguard realizes

[27:04]

Linu Kai has been influenced by the

[27:06]

residual mental power and has gone

[27:08]

completely mad as the man continues to

[27:10]

scream that anyone who touches his money

[27:12]

will die. Seeing this, the bodyguard

[27:14]

concludes that letting Liny Kai continue

[27:16]

like this will only tarnish the boss's

[27:19]

reputation. Without hesitation, he

[27:20]

lunges forward and attacks Linuai,

[27:23]

swiftly executing him. He then turns to

[27:25]

the others, apologizing for the incident

[27:27]

and explaining that he had to put Lin

[27:29]

Yukai down because he was influenced by

[27:31]

the monster's mental power and could

[27:33]

have ended up hurting everyone there.

[27:34]

The bodyguard comments that Nanzi Ying

[27:36]

has collapsed and appears to be

[27:38]

seriously mentally disturbed. [music] He

[27:40]

internally calls the dead official an

[27:42]

idiot for getting himself killed that

[27:43]

way and concludes that the boy might no

[27:45]

longer be useful, deciding to report

[27:47]

back first. He then informs the others

[27:49]

that someone will come to take care of

[27:50]

the situation and everyone should

[27:52]

continue with their good work. Finally,

[27:54]

a notification screen appears, stating

[27:56]

that the current Assura level has

[27:58]

reached level six. Mr. Nan is finally

[28:01]

awake. A worker shouts and everyone

[28:03]

rushes to his side. Still groggy, Nan

[28:05]

asks how long he's been out. Learning

[28:07]

it's been over 2 days. One of the men

[28:09]

tells the others to get back to work,

[28:11]

then urges Nan to get up and grab a

[28:12]

bite. Nan immediately asks if that

[28:14]

scumbag Lin Yukai sent more mutant

[28:17]

beasts. The man shakes his head,

[28:19]

explaining that the front lines military

[28:20]

demands have doubled. [music] Worse, the

[28:22]

battle at the ninth defense line was a

[28:24]

total human defeat, forcing a retreat to

[28:27]

the eighth. The situation is dire with

[28:29]

their troops utterly outmatched by the

[28:31]

10,000 races mutant monsters. A level

[28:34]

seven ability user barely made it out

[28:36]

alive, losing an arm, and a level six

[28:38]

flame giant made the ultimate sacrifice.

[28:41]

Nanzi grimly notes to himself that while

[28:43]

he knew defeat was coming, this collapse

[28:45]

happened far sooner than in his past

[28:47]

life. The worker quickly changes the

[28:49]

subject, announcing that the higher-ups

[28:51]

have declared the deceased officer was

[28:53]

under mental manipulation, clearing Ya

[28:55]

City of any blame. He adds that what's

[28:57]

next is even more critical, prompting

[28:59]

Nanzi Ying to demand, "What else

[29:01]

happened?" Just then, Shaolu bursts into

[29:03]

the room, calling for Mr. Nan. She

[29:05]

excitedly reports that everyone, even

[29:07]

those out on missions, unanimously voted

[29:10]

him as the new chief of Yay City's

[29:12]

Judgment Tower branch. She hands him an

[29:14]

official appointment letter from HQ.

[29:16]

Aunt Wong steps forward, saying, "This

[29:18]

shows everyone's trust in you. Please

[29:20]

take [music] care of us, Chief Nan."

[29:22]

Other workers cheer. "Long live, Chief

[29:24]

Nan. We'll work our hardest."

[29:25]

Xiaolu<unk>s expression darkens as she

[29:28]

explains the new reality. Their team is

[29:30]

hald, but military supply demands have

[29:32]

doubled. How many of us will even last a

[29:34]

month without proper food, water, or

[29:36]

sleep? She [music] frets, turning to

[29:37]

Nan. Chief, what's your plan? Nanzying

[29:40]

calmly replies that worker efficiency

[29:42]

won't change much, so it all comes down

[29:44]

to him. With my abilities, he declares,

[29:47]

I can double our output, he thinks to

[29:49]

himself. With this new position, dealing

[29:51]

with Lin Yukai after he's drained his

[29:53]

resources will be a breeze. Shaolu still

[29:55]

urges him to appeal to command, calling

[29:57]

the task impossible, but Nan reassures

[29:59]

her. I've already found a solution. As

[30:01]

he rises from his bed, she warns him

[30:03]

against reckless stunts, reminding him

[30:05]

of the immense pressure and his recent

[30:07]

recovery. [music]

[30:08]

Nanziing, however, faces his team with

[30:10]

unwavering confidence. We [music] can

[30:13]

complete this task. And the workers,

[30:15]

energized by his resolve, shout, "We

[30:17]

trust you, Chief Nan. We'll follow your

[30:19]

lead." Just as someone yells for

[30:21]

everyone to get back to work, a blur

[30:23]

flashes past the doorway, startling the

[30:25]

team. Nan instantly realizes that speed

[30:27]

isn't human and certainly not from

[30:29]

anyone on his crew. He bolts into the

[30:31]

corridor demanding, "Who's there?" He

[30:33]

bursts into an outdoor area, scanning,

[30:34]

"Where'd they go?" Suddenly, a cold

[30:36]

barrel presses against his head. A voice

[30:39]

snarls, "Bold of you to follow me." A

[30:41]

woman grabs him from behind, pinning

[30:42]

him. "Don't move. Just answer my

[30:44]

questions." She wastes no time. "Tell me

[30:46]

about Lin Yukai's order. How many are

[30:48]

coming in the next batch?" Nan retorts.

[30:50]

You should be asking Lin Yukai and his

[30:52]

goons that she presses harder. Are you

[30:54]

his accomplice? Answer me seriously.

[30:57]

Nanzi Ying sees her distraction. [music]

[30:58]

a window of opportunity. He grabs her

[31:00]

arm and instantly activates his Assura

[31:03]

talent. She reacts just as fast,

[31:05]

blocking his hand, but he's [music]

[31:06]

quicker. She fires her weapon, but he

[31:08]

intercepts the shot midair. "Who told

[31:10]

you I was an accomplice to that

[31:11]

scoundrel?" Nan snarls, "You got the

[31:13]

wrong person." The woman recoils, asking

[31:16]

why he's helping Lin Yukai. Nan

[31:18]

clarifies, "I don't help him. I just

[31:20]

complete the tasks assigned to Y City.

[31:23]

Technically, he's still our superior for

[31:25]

now." This visibly surprises her. Then

[31:27]

she offers a truce. Let's join forces to

[31:29]

deal with Lin Yukai, she suggests,

[31:31]

extending a hand. I'm Jang Yuan from the

[31:34]

eighth defense line. Nanzi Ying pauses,

[31:36]

then extends his own hand, only to flat

[31:38]

out reject her offer. Jang Yuan

[31:40]

immediately questioned if he was

[31:41]

choosing to be part of the problem. He

[31:43]

shot back that Lin Yukai absolutely

[31:45]

needed to be stopped, but definitely not

[31:47]

now, and especially not with her.

[31:50]

Nanziing explained that she clearly

[31:51]

hadn't considered the full consequences

[31:53]

of eliminating Lin Yukai. At that, she

[31:56]

demanded to know what he meant. He

[31:57]

clarified that in her rush to get rid of

[31:59]

him, she was only looking at two

[32:00]

options: assassination or an internal

[32:03]

expose. Then he pressed, "How did she

[32:06]

plan to silence everyone involved in an

[32:08]

assassination, especially if there was

[32:10]

more than one person on the other side.

[32:11]

What's more, he reminded her that if the

[32:13]

assassination attempt failed, she'd

[32:15]

better think long and hard about what

[32:17]

would happen to her afterwards."

[32:18]

Nanziing explained that investigations

[32:21]

would drag on forever, and after their

[32:23]

recent crushing defeat, any whiff of

[32:25]

internal conflict would be interpreted

[32:26]

as outright discord. This would

[32:28]

inevitably trigger a catastrophic

[32:29]

[music] chain reaction, plunging the

[32:32]

entire rear guard into utter chaos. Jang

[32:34]

Yuen was speechless for a moment, then

[32:36]

finally asked what he thought they

[32:38]

should do. He simply declared he'd

[32:40]

handle it personally. She reacted

[32:41]

immediately, challenging if he really

[32:43]

intended to do it all by himself. She

[32:45]

told him to stop, reminding him he was

[32:47]

just a defector [music] and not even she

[32:50]

could wrangle those bastards. In

[32:52]

response, he calmly reminded her they'd

[32:54]

just fought, then asked what her chances

[32:56]

of beating him now would be. Jang Yan

[32:58]

recalled his incredible reaction moments

[33:00]

earlier, realizing how different

[33:02]

everything had been just a week ago.

[33:04]

From this, she deduced he'd chosen to

[33:06]

remain in logistics specifically to

[33:08]

continuously strengthen himself with the

[33:09]

incoming mutant beasts. Nanzi Ying said

[33:12]

he'd already told her everything he

[33:13]

could, then advised her not to act

[33:15]

rashly, emphasizing that she was an

[33:17]

intelligent woman. He then stated he'd

[33:19]

personally take care of that conniving

[33:21]

scoundrel, Lin Yukai. Jang Yuan

[33:23]

reluctantly agreed to his request, but

[33:25]

warned him that success was the only

[33:27]

acceptable option. He confirmed their

[33:29]

deal, adding that after Lin Yukai was

[33:31]

dealt with, he'd depend on her to secure

[33:33]

the mutant beasts they needed.

[33:34]

>> [music]

[33:34]

>> She questioned his need for even more

[33:36]

beasts, pointing out his current

[33:38]

strength wouldn't be considered weak

[33:39]

even on the battlefield. She flat out

[33:41]

asked if he was plotting something

[33:43]

against humanity, demanding to know

[33:44]

whose side he was really on. He scoffed

[33:47]

that she was overthinking it, affirming

[33:48]

that while he was absolutely on

[33:50]

humanity's side to expel the 10,000

[33:52]

races, he simply wasn't strong enough

[33:55]

yet. Nanzi Ying then bid her farewell,

[33:57]

declaring he'd said enough and promptly

[33:59]

left. She watched him disappear,

[34:01]

concluding that despite him being an

[34:03]

undeniably unsettling individual, she

[34:05]

had no choice but to place her trust in

[34:07]

him. A few days later, a disembodied

[34:10]

voice announced that Chief Nan had

[34:11]

successfully completed the last mission

[34:13]

without a hitch and the next task would

[34:15]

once again be assigned to Y City. As

[34:17]

they walked, Shaolu reminded the group

[34:20]

that last time someone was seriously

[34:22]

injured. However, Nanzing swiftly

[34:24]

reassured her, affirming she could take

[34:26]

on the task. An official commented that

[34:28]

Chief Nan was always incredibly

[34:29]

straightforward and without a moment's

[34:31]

hesitation signed the paperwork. He then

[34:34]

acknowledged Nan's undeniable

[34:35]

competence, deeming him crucial because

[34:37]

he never accepted bribes, unlike other

[34:39]

troublemakers who only caused headaches.

[34:42]

Excitedly, [music]

[34:42]

he celebrated the chance to make a

[34:44]

massive fortune, especially since

[34:46]

military supply orders had already

[34:47]

doubled with the war's relentless

[34:49]

advance. He promised that if Nanziing

[34:51]

performed well in the upcoming tasks,

[34:53]

Liny Yukai himself would personally

[34:55]

award medals to him and his team. At

[34:57]

this, Nanziing turned to the group and

[34:59]

sharply ordered everyone back to their

[35:01]

stations to start working. As the

[35:03]

workers furiously moved the massive

[35:04]

containers, instructions echoed, "Send

[35:07]

one batch to the first floor of the

[35:08]

testing tower and direct the terrifying

[35:10]

level five beast to [music] the second."

[35:12]

E. The official commented that Y City's

[35:14]

work atmosphere was remarkably

[35:16]

reassuring and with a nod bid farewell,

[35:18]

promising he wouldn't bother them again.

[35:20]

Nanziing watched the official stride

[35:22]

away, his gaze keenly observing

[35:24]

everything he'd accumulated. Knowing

[35:26]

that every single resource would serve

[35:28]

as vital fuel for the enhancement of his

[35:30]

talent, he prepared to unleash his

[35:32]

powerful ability, the evil alloy blade.

[35:34]

He activated [music] its power and

[35:36]

surged forward, charging straight into

[35:38]

the beasts. With a single devastating

[35:41]

sweep, [music] he sliced down multiple

[35:42]

creatures at once. March 20th, Eagle

[35:45]

Land's eighth defense line crumbled

[35:47]

after a brutal battle, claiming the

[35:48]

lives of 800,000 soldiers and 50,000

[35:51]

espers. Amidst the chaos, Nanziing

[35:53]

unleashed the Alloy Fury Blade in a sura

[35:56]

Berserker mode, tearing through a

[35:57]

monstrous creature. Just 2 days later,

[36:00]

the North Glacier's eighth defense line

[36:01]

followed suit, collapsing under the

[36:03]

assault. The 10,000 races swarmed in,

[36:06]

slaughtering [music] 600,000 more

[36:08]

soldiers. But Nanzying fought on,

[36:10]

wielding the alloy dragon blade and

[36:12]

unleashing the Assura Dragon Hunter to

[36:14]

confront a colossal beast. March 24th,

[36:17]

the South Glacier's eighth defense line

[36:19]

faced the terrifying steel slaughter

[36:21]

race, and 500,000 soldiers were

[36:23]

annihilated in a mere hour. Against this

[36:25]

overwhelming tide, Nanzing unleashed the

[36:28]

Alloy demonic blade and the Assura Demon

[36:30]

Hunter, striking back with all his

[36:32]

might. By March 26th, the eighth defense

[36:34]

lines of France and Kawasaki nation

[36:37]

crumbled completely in just half an

[36:38]

hour. That's when he declared, "Enough

[36:40]

is enough." Rising above the monstrous

[36:42]

horde, he unleashed the full might of

[36:44]

his assura powers. Nanziing had reached

[36:46]

Picasura. [music]

[36:47]

Immediately, he activated hell on earth

[36:49]

mode. He decided it was time to unleash

[36:51]

that power against his foes. He lifted

[36:53]

his blade, then slammed it into the

[36:55]

ground, unleashing a colossal explosion.

[36:58]

From a top a pile of pulverized

[36:59]

monsters, he surveyed the destruction.

[37:01]

The power at max level is exponentially

[37:03]

different, he mused. It's on a whole

[37:05]

other scale. Then, with a weary sigh, he

[37:07]

deactivated Assura mode, collapsing

[37:09]

exhausted onto the creature's massive

[37:11]

carcass. A grim news report flashed by.

[37:14]

Only a few alliances remained, and the

[37:16]

minimum recruitment age had been

[37:18]

drastically lowered to 16. He frowned.

[37:20]

The collapse happened too damn fast.

[37:22]

Meanwhile, Aunt Wang looked bewildered.

[37:24]

"You finished the task so quickly?" she

[37:26]

gasped. An official approached, his eyes

[37:29]

wide. Chief Nan, your efficiency has

[37:31]

improved yet again. Satisfied, he then

[37:33]

asked, "What official position would you

[37:35]

like to take?" Nanzi Ying simply

[37:37]

replied, "I want him." The official

[37:39]

blinked, completely bewildered. [music]

[37:41]

He then clarified, "I need you to go to

[37:42]

the northern jungle tonight. Bring back

[37:44]

a pack of steel wolves to finish the

[37:46]

job." The man chuckled. "Chief Nan, your

[37:48]

resilience and audacity are truly

[37:50]

commendable. I like that." Nanziing

[37:52]

nodded. I'll leave Commander Lynn to

[37:53]

handle it. The official tried to

[37:55]

reassure him, but Nanzi<unk>s eyes

[37:57]

glinted. Try any tricks and I'll end

[37:59]

you. Nanzying fixed him with a cold

[38:01]

stare. With external enemies invading

[38:03]

and you acting like a parasite on the

[38:05]

home front, you're beyond redemption.

[38:07]

Alone in the falling snow, Nanzying

[38:09]

mused. If his memory served him right,

[38:11]

the 10,000 races would soon launch

[38:13]

assassination plots. He'd need to be far

[38:15]

more discreet. Then he commanded his

[38:17]

pups to summon the nearby wolf packs.

[38:19]

Under the eerie glow of the full moon,

[38:21]

the wolf packs answered his call. A

[38:23]

screen flickered, displaying

[38:24]

Nanzing<unk>s beast tamer status. He

[38:26]

noted grimly that the requirements for

[38:28]

enhancement were growing exponentially.

[38:30]

Meanwhile, [music] three vehicles

[38:32]

plunged through the desolate

[38:33]

snow-covered landscape. A guard reported

[38:35]

to the official, "Sir, we've detected

[38:37]

approximately a thousand mutant wolves

[38:39]

ahead." The official grinned clearly

[38:41]

pleased. The official barked, "Advance!

[38:44]

Initiate teleportation to the nano

[38:46]

cages." He was clearly eager to complete

[38:48]

this task and get back home for other

[38:50]

activities. Suddenly, a strange noise

[38:52]

caught his attention. "What was that?"

[38:54]

he demanded. The guard in the front seat

[38:56]

squinted, scanning the road more

[38:57]

intently. Without warning, their

[38:59]

vehicles were swarmed by a literal tide

[39:01]

of steel wolves. The official screamed

[39:03]

in panic, "How could this happen without

[39:05]

any warning? Teleport me out of here

[39:07]

now." The guard frantically explained,

[39:09]

"Sir, the device only works at a minimum

[39:11]

distance of 1 kilometer. Our only option

[39:13]

is to plow through them." Enraged,

[39:15]

[music] the official roared, "Shut up

[39:17]

and drive." The vehicles lurched

[39:19]

forward, accelerating into the monstrous

[39:21]

pack. Watching from a distance, Nanzi

[39:23]

Ying smirked. Perfect timing, [music] he

[39:25]

noted the full moon high above. Then he

[39:27]

descended the slope, determined to tame

[39:29]

some powerful new companions and

[39:31]

exterminate these pests all at once.

[39:33]

Nanziing unleashes the full might of his

[39:36]

beast taming talent, ins snaring the

[39:38]

surrounding creatures as his energy

[39:40]

engulfs the wolves. A guard notices the

[39:42]

packs have halted their advance,

[39:43]

immediately suspecting a beast tamer is

[39:45]

at work. He suggests they find this

[39:47]

hidden master. Convinced they could be

[39:49]

an invaluable asset, Nanziing takes

[39:51]

command of a 100,000 steel giant wolves,

[39:54]

then orders them to obliterate the

[39:55]

convoy, leaving no one alive. A guard

[39:57]

reports to the officer. The beast tamer

[39:59]

failed, and they're now completely

[40:01]

swarmed by a tide of creatures. The

[40:03]

officer snarss, demanding they suppress

[40:06]

everything immediately with overwhelming

[40:07]

firepower. The men in the vehicles open

[40:10]

fire on the surrounding wolves, but the

[40:12]

creatures are relentless, leaping onto

[40:13]

the vehicles and tearing into the

[40:15]

soldiers. The guard grabs both the

[40:17]

officer and the woman, warning them this

[40:19]

place is lethally dangerous. Panicked,

[40:20]

[music] he demands they activate the

[40:22]

teleportation immediately to get them to

[40:24]

safety. But just as they prepare for

[40:26]

activation, a wolf lunges at the group.

[40:28]

Miraculously, the bodyguard manages to

[40:31]

teleport away, leaving two wolves to

[40:33]

watch the scene unfold. Immediately

[40:34]

after, a monstrous three-headed beast

[40:36]

materializes right in front of the

[40:38]

guard. He steals himself to face the

[40:40]

creatures, boldly, declaring they'll

[40:42]

soon feel the wrath of a level five

[40:43]

esper. He then activates the nano cage

[40:46]

teleportation as another man assists him

[40:48]

while even more wolves close in.

[40:50]

Realizing the nano cage's limited range,

[40:52]

he quickly orders a teleport straight to

[40:54]

the ancient city walls, sending them all

[40:56]

away in a flash. Upon reaching their

[40:58]

destination, a figure emerges from the

[41:00]

shadows. I was waiting, he draws. You

[41:03]

took longer than expected. The guard

[41:05]

demands to know who's there, and

[41:07]

everyone looks up at the armed man. The

[41:09]

figure reveals himself as Nanzi Ying,

[41:11]

much to the officer's absolute shock.

[41:13]

Lin Yukai immediately questions him.

[41:15]

Were you the beast tamer? Are you here

[41:17]

to kill me? Nanzi Ying simply replies,

[41:20]

"Bingo." [music] The officer immediately

[41:22]

threatens him, but the young man just

[41:23]

grins. "Oh, I totally believe you." He

[41:26]

snears. [music] "It's just a shame you

[41:27]

won't get that chance." Then he lunges

[41:29]

at the bodyguard. Nanzying grabs the

[41:31]

officer by the neck, who struggles to

[41:33]

utter a single name. The bodyguard

[41:35]

desperately tries to teleport, vowing to

[41:37]

get him out of there. At that very

[41:39]

moment, Nanziing activates his

[41:41]

terrifying skill. Assura Dragon Hunter.

[41:44]

He charges forward, directly colliding

[41:46]

with the bodyguard's frantic energy. The

[41:48]

man panics, realizing he can't use his

[41:49]

teleportation. Are you a highlevel

[41:51]

esper? He screams just before being

[41:54]

utterly engulfed by Nanziing<unk>s

[41:55]

destructive energy. His body crashes to

[41:58]

the ground and he whimpers, begging for

[42:00]

his life. Nanziing simply replies, "I'm

[42:02]

sorry." Then, with a casual flick, he

[42:05]

hurls Lin Yukai high into the air as the

[42:07]

man screams, "You traitor!" The

[42:09]

three-headed beast immediately charges

[42:11]

towards the official, and the creatures

[42:13]

descend upon him without an ounce of

[42:15]

hesitation. Nanziing simply turns his

[42:17]

back, bidding Lin Yukai a silent

[42:19]

farewell. Meanwhile, at the super

[42:21]

abilities research department, a woman

[42:23]

leisurely relaxes in a bathtub,

[42:25]

remarking on the incredibly powerful

[42:27]

Esper aura emanating from Y City. Su

[42:30]

Lang's eyes snap open. The strange

[42:32]

sensations from days ago weren't an

[42:34]

illusion. A truly supreme Esper has

[42:36]

emerged in that very location. She

[42:38]

immediately decides she needs to report

[42:40]

this unprecedented event to the

[42:42]

department. Nanziing declares the coast

[42:44]

is clear, [music] telling everyone to

[42:46]

come out of hiding. The wolves

[42:47]

immediately swarm him, licking him

[42:49]

relentlessly as he begs them to stop.

[42:51]

One particularly stubborn beast ignores

[42:53]

his please, persistent in its slobbery

[42:55]

affection. Finally, he snaps, ordering

[42:58]

them all to settle down and behave. He

[43:00]

steps away from the ruined vehicles,

[43:02]

muttering that there's nothing left to

[43:03]

do about them. Turning to a specific

[43:05]

wolf, he praises it for a job well done.

[43:08]

He rewards it with a gentle pat on the

[43:10]

head, then warns the others to hold

[43:11]

their horses. With that, he announces a

[43:13]

brand new mission for his loyal pack.

[43:15]

There to head to the northern jungle and

[43:17]

hunt down source stones for him. Nanzing

[43:19]

stands before his entire pack, bathed in

[43:21]

the glow of the full moon. Later, at the

[43:23]

Yay City slaughterhouse, Nanziing meets

[43:26]

with Jang Yuan. She reports that Lin

[43:28]

Yukai and his crew ran into a beast tide

[43:30]

yesterday and were completely wiped out.

[43:32]

Naturally, she asks if he was behind it.

[43:34]

He casually confirms, reminding her he

[43:37]

did say he wanted some mutant wolves.

[43:39]

Shocked, Jang Yuen wonders if he can

[43:41]

also control beasts. Nanzi warns her

[43:44]

that some secrets are best left unsaid.

[43:46]

She then reveals she's already submitted

[43:48]

the evidence against Lein Yukai and his

[43:50]

assets will be confiscated soon. [music]

[43:52]

A piece of good news Nanziing readily

[43:54]

agrees with. Jang Yuan offers to buy him

[43:56]

a celebratory drink, but he declines,

[43:58]

citing the impending national crisis.

[44:00]

not really in the mood, but he adds if

[44:03]

she really wants to show her gratitude,

[44:05]

there's another way. Intrigued, [music]

[44:07]

she asks what he has in mind. Nanziing

[44:09]

proposes transforming this very spot

[44:11]

into Ya City's largest slaughter house.

[44:14]

Jang Yuan agrees without hesitation,

[44:16]

convinced the higher-ups will absolutely

[44:18]

love the idea. With the slaughterhouse

[44:20]

up and running, he muses, harvesting

[44:22]

source stones from mutant animals will

[44:24]

be a breeze. He also plans to capture

[44:26]

the steel giant wolves and soon unleash

[44:28]

millions of beast tides. Just two days

[44:31]

later, Nanzying status updates. He's now

[44:34]

a level seven beast tamer in the

[44:36]

northern jungle. He dramatically

[44:38]

declares that the fate of the world

[44:39]

rests on his shoulders, and together

[44:41]

they will defend the blue star. His rank

[44:44]

immediately leaps to level eight beast

[44:46]

tamer, having tamed a staggering half a

[44:48]

million steel giant wolves in the

[44:49]

northern jungle. Next, he finds himself

[44:51]

in the White Bone Plains, encountering a

[44:54]

massive group of yaks. After a quick

[44:56]

scan, he identifies them as level six

[44:58]

blazing steel yaks and prepares to

[45:01]

assert his dominance. Nanzying activates

[45:03]

his taming ability and charges headfirst

[45:05]

into the herd. Once they're under his

[45:07]

control, he commands them to guard the

[45:09]

white bone plains and diligently collect

[45:11]

source stones. Strict orders are given.

[45:13]

No harming humans, no attacking cities,

[45:16]

and await further instructions. His

[45:18]

status updates once more. Still level

[45:20]

eight beast tamer, but now with a grand

[45:23]

total of 1 million tamed creatures, his

[45:26]

control panel proudly displays his

[45:28]

forces now strategically stationed

[45:30]

across both the northern jungle and the

[45:32]

white bone plains. In the treacherous

[45:34]

rift canyon, Nanziing plots to use his

[45:36]

remaining source stones to tame a group

[45:38]

of level seven mutant monkeys. As he

[45:40]

observes, he quickly realizes that level

[45:42]

seven beasts possess a far more

[45:44]

formidable aura than the wolves and yaks

[45:46]

he's encountered so far. Suddenly, one

[45:48]

of the monkeys lunges at him with

[45:50]

lightning speed. Nanziing barely manages

[45:52]

to defend himself from the ferocious

[45:54]

assault. He quickly attempts to activate

[45:56]

his taming ability on the primate. To

[45:57]

his slight relief, he confirms the

[45:59]

beasts are still within his taming

[46:01]

range. Just then, the rest of the monkey

[46:03]

troop swarms him, encircling him from

[46:05]

every direction. A sudden, jarring sound

[46:07]

rips through the air, forcing him to

[46:09]

glance over his shoulder. A projectile

[46:11]

shrieks directly towards him. He barely

[46:13]

dodges it, weaving out of the way in the

[46:15]

nick of time. The enraged monkey roars

[46:17]

furiously, realizing Nanziing's taming

[46:19]

attempt has failed. Nanzying declared

[46:21]

he'd force these beasts into submission

[46:23]

before he could even think about taming

[46:25]

them. With a fierce roar of Assura

[46:28]

Berserker, he charged, his attack

[46:30]

shattering the very ground beneath him.

[46:32]

Then, activating his beast taming

[46:33]

ability at full power, he plunged head

[46:35]

first into the dark abyss below. It

[46:37]

suddenly dawned on Nanziing. That

[46:39]

booming roar had been the exact reason

[46:41]

his previous taming attempt failed. He

[46:44]

realized he couldn't waste energy on

[46:45]

these small fries. He had to take down

[46:47]

the real boss pulling the strings. Just

[46:49]

then, a powerful attack rained down from

[46:52]

above towards the creatures. Nanziing

[46:54]

materialized in its path, intercepting

[46:56]

the blow with ease. Though he couldn't

[46:58]

help but note the impressive, albeit

[47:00]

mindless, power behind it. "Too bad all

[47:02]

that strength isn't backed by an ounce

[47:04]

of brains," he scoffed. [music]

[47:05]

Suddenly, a new challenger emerged,

[47:07]

striking one of the beasts with a

[47:09]

powerful sideblow. A massive four-eyed

[47:11]

creature watched the unfolding conflict

[47:13]

with keen interest. Nanziing, impressed

[47:15]

despite himself, conceded, "Not a bad

[47:17]

move. I'll give you that." But he

[47:18]

quickly added, "Still, you all are

[47:20]

severely underestimating this new

[47:22]

master." Without a moment's hesitation,

[47:24]

he retaliated, slamming another beast

[47:26]

against the cliff wall. "Enough hiding,"

[47:28]

he roared. "Show yourself." A gigantic

[47:31]

creature shrouded in inky shadows

[47:33]

finally materialized, its voice booming.

[47:36]

"It's time for a change in leadership."

[47:38]

Nanzying couldn't help but marvel at its

[47:40]

sheer imposing size. "I'd be on my knees

[47:43]

right now," he muttered if it weren't

[47:44]

for my Acera ability keeping me upright

[47:47]

under this insane pressure. He quickly

[47:49]

deduced that this monkey king had to be

[47:50]

at least level 9, maybe even higher. The

[47:53]

colossal creature lunged forward with

[47:55]

astonishing speed. One moment, Nanzi

[47:57]

Ying was facing it, the [music] next he

[47:59]

was inside its gaping m. "Seriously," he

[48:02]

quipped. "You actually think you can

[48:04]

just eat me?" he quickly promised. Well,

[48:06]

I won't be an easy meal. Unleashing his

[48:08]

Assura fury blade, he plunged it deep

[48:11]

into the monster's interior, striking

[48:13]

the Monkey King's chest directly. The

[48:15]

force of the blow sent the gargantuan

[48:17]

body reeling backward, launching it

[48:19]

clear off the cliff face. It plummeted

[48:21]

down, crashing violently against the

[48:23]

ground below. Nanzing dusted himself

[48:25]

off, a smirk playing on his lips. "Guess

[48:28]

I really need to make it clear who the

[48:29]

real boss of this place is, huh?" he

[48:31]

mused. With that, he activated Assura

[48:33]

Hell on Earth mode, unleashing his full

[48:36]

devastating power. Meanwhile, elsewhere,

[48:38]

a young girl rubbed her eyes, whining to

[48:40]

her older sister. "Are you sure about

[48:42]

what you felt? It's past 3:00 in the

[48:44]

morning. I need my beauty sleep to grow,

[48:46]

you know." Her sister, Su Lang, was

[48:48]

unfazed. "That intense killing intent

[48:50]

couldn't have been a mistake," she

[48:51]

stated gravely. "Our superiors want Yes

[48:54]

City closely monitored." She then glared

[48:56]

at the girl. "And stop calling me older

[48:58]

sister." The girl, undeterred, shot

[49:00]

back. Fine then, auntie. Before their

[49:02]

bickering could continue, Su Lang

[49:04]

abruptly cut her off. Something's

[49:06]

approaching. Get ready. We're tracking

[49:07]

it down to the Fisher Canyon southwest

[49:09]

of Ye City. Her partner immediately

[49:11]

confirmed the order. With a focused

[49:13]

gaze, Chen Kir began to activate her

[49:15]

unique ability to track time and the

[49:17]

very fabric of the universe. Her eyes

[49:19]

glowed, transforming as the powerful

[49:21]

technique enveloped her. At that exact

[49:24]

moment, Nanzying unleashed his signature

[49:26]

attack. Hell on Earth. He lunged at the

[49:28]

monster, delivering a devastating full

[49:30]

force blow that sent the creature

[49:32]

hurtling backward from the sheer impact.

[49:34]

Back at the agency, their tracking

[49:36]

machine violently shuddered, nearly

[49:38]

knocking Su Lang and Chener off their

[49:40]

feet. Su Lang instinctively gripped

[49:42]

Chenair, her voice urgent. "What did you

[49:44]

see?" Still visibly shaken, the young

[49:46]

girl stammered. "He's He's a terrifying

[49:49]

Assura demon. Had enough fun yet?"

[49:51]

Nanzing asks as the colossal ape stands

[49:54]

before him, visibly drained. Still, he

[49:56]

pushes. Get up. Fight me again. This

[49:59]

time I won't go easy. In response, the

[50:02]

creature slams its massive fist [music]

[50:04]

into the ground with a thunderous roar.

[50:06]

What a waste it would be to die like

[50:08]

this. With so much fight left in you,

[50:10]

Nanzying muses. The monkey then extends

[50:12]

its own fist, stopping inches from his

[50:15]

face, proposing he join its ranks to

[50:17]

face the 10,000 races together. Nanzi

[50:19]

Ying touches the extended fist, a slight

[50:22]

smirk playing on his lips, and calls it

[50:24]

a good boy. Moments later, he

[50:26]

deactivates his Assura mode. Turning to

[50:28]

his newly acquired army of a million

[50:30]

monkeys, he issues his command. From

[50:32]

this day forward, you are all to serve

[50:34]

under the monkey king. Protect Rift

[50:36]

Canyon and gather source stones.

[50:38]

Absolutely no attacking cities. Await my

[50:41]

further instructions. A notification

[50:43]

screen instantly pops up detailing the

[50:45]

newly tamed beasts and their territorial

[50:47]

distribution. The scene shifts to the

[50:49]

paranormal investigation and monitoring

[50:51]

agency. Suang leans into Chenier. I felt

[50:54]

another energy signature last night, but

[50:56]

my tracking skills are still limited.

[50:57]

She wonders aloud if those two immensely

[50:59]

powerful signatures could possibly

[51:01]

belong to the same person. Chenier

[51:03]

dismisses the thought, reminding her of

[51:05]

the mysterious families holding hidden

[51:06]

positions in the Eastern Esper rankings.

[51:09]

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, she

[51:10]

conceds. It's time to announce the

[51:12]

rankings. A display screen flashes to

[51:14]

life, revealing the rankings. In 10th

[51:16]

place, a mysterious man in black

[51:18]

appears, his Assura ability listed at an

[51:21]

unknown level. The very next day, news

[51:23]

explodes across the Eastern Alliance. A

[51:25]

mysterious figure has secured the 10th

[51:27]

spot in the rankings. Online, various

[51:30]

users buzz about the new Eastern Assura

[51:32]

Esper. Some comment, "I'd rather be an

[51:34]

irrational killing machine than turn out

[51:36]

like Nanziing." Back at the

[51:38]

slaughterhouse, Shaolu hands Nanzi a

[51:40]

cloth. Your phone won't stop ringing,

[51:42]

boss. Nanzing checks it, reading the

[51:44]

devastating news. The Mi Country, the

[51:46]

Mad Country, and the Eighth Defense Line

[51:48]

have all fallen. A breaking news report

[51:50]

confirms the Eastern Alliance has

[51:52]

activated its veteran recall policy,

[51:54]

mobilizing for the fifth defense line.

[51:56]

Nanzying<unk>s face hardens. This time,

[51:58]

defeat is closing in even faster. The

[52:00]

recall is happening much sooner than

[52:02]

expected. His thoughts drift to his

[52:04]

father, and just then, a message

[52:05]

arrives. An invitation for dinner at

[52:07]

home. Meanwhile, an older man,

[52:09]

Nanzi<unk>s father, apologizes to a

[52:12]

reporter. I've just finished cooking for

[52:13]

my family. They're about to arrive.

[52:15]

You're welcome to join us. The reporter

[52:17]

declines, insisting she only needs a

[52:19]

quick interview about the veteran

[52:21]

recall. He agrees, preparing himself.

[52:23]

"What were your thoughts when you signed

[52:24]

up for the veteran recall?" She probes.

[52:26]

[music] "It's my duty," his father

[52:28]

states, unwavering. "There's no question

[52:30]

about it." She then asks about his son's

[52:32]

refusal to enlist. His father remains

[52:35]

silent. Just then, a woman arrives,

[52:37]

accompanied by two young adults. "I

[52:39]

found Shiaoying and Shiaosan at the

[52:40]

neighborhood entrance," she announces,

[52:42]

then asks her husband, "and you giving

[52:44]

an interview?" He gestures for them to

[52:46]

sit, promising. I'll be right with you.

[52:48]

His wife nods. He introduces his family

[52:50]

to the reporter. It's rare for us to all

[52:52]

gather like this. This is my wife,

[52:54]

Chinu, a factory volunteer. Our

[52:56]

daughter, Nanzishan, is an esper doctor,

[52:58]

and our son, Nanzi Ying, works at the

[53:01]

slaughterhouse, doing his part to

[53:02]

support the front lines. As long as he

[53:04]

stays true to his ethics, I support his

[53:06]

choices. Nanzi Ying listens, head bowed,

[53:10]

saying nothing. The reporter then turns

[53:11]

her gaze to the young man. Mr. Nanzing,

[53:14]

"What are your thoughts on the fall of

[53:15]

the Eastern Alliance's eighth defense

[53:17]

line?" "Stop pressuring him," his father

[53:19]

interjects, his voice sharp. He

[53:21]

continues, his voice cracking slightly.

[53:23]

"I was originally assigned to the sixth

[53:25]

defense line, but I volunteered for the

[53:26]

seventh. My son's work, slaughtering

[53:28]

mutant beasts, is an essential

[53:30]

contribution to the war effort."

[53:31]

Nanishan steps forward. "I just

[53:33]

volunteered as a medical esper for the

[53:35]

seventh defense line myself." Even his

[53:37]

mother offers, "If that's not enough,

[53:39]

I'll go in his place." The reporter,

[53:41]

embarrassed, quickly apologizes and

[53:43]

exits with her crew. Nanzying<unk>s hand

[53:45]

tightens into a fist on the table. He

[53:47]

looks up at his father. "Dad," he

[53:49]

stands, his decision made. "I'll go with

[53:51]

all of you." His mom asks where he's off

[53:53]

to so late, but Nanzying quickly

[53:55]

explains there's an unforeseen problem

[53:57]

at the slaughter house. She presses,

[53:59]

wondering if it can't wait until after

[54:01]

dinner. Before he can reply, his father

[54:03]

cuts in, telling her to let him go,

[54:05]

reminding her that everyone has their

[54:07]

own responsibilities. Without another

[54:08]

word, Nanziing turns and leaves in

[54:11]

silence. The scene shifts to the gloomy

[54:13]

ancient sunken forests. [music] He races

[54:15]

through the trees, telling himself

[54:16]

there's still time tonight. With that

[54:18]

goal in mind, he decides he'll tame the

[54:20]

war elephants. The young man stops in a

[54:22]

clearing and yells for whatever is

[54:23]

hidden to show itself. A massive

[54:25]

monstrous elephant emerges from the

[54:27]

trees. Without hesitation, he lunges

[54:29]

forward and delivers a deep gash to the

[54:31]

creature's leg. Then, he leaps onto the

[54:33]

beast's head, warning it that his time

[54:35]

is limited and he has no time for games.

[54:37]

Immediately after, he uses his skill to

[54:39]

subdue the elephant mounted on the now

[54:41]

tamed beast. He orders it to warn its

[54:43]

comrades. Anyone who opposes will be

[54:45]

executed. Another war elephant ambles

[54:47]

through the dark forest. Soon, several

[54:49]

more war elephants charge through the

[54:51]

trees. The creatures visibly flinch with

[54:53]

fear and retreat. Nanziing then relays

[54:56]

his orders to the war elephants. He

[54:58]

instructs them to protect the primeval

[54:59]

sunken forests. Additionally, he

[55:01]

commands them to gather source stones

[55:03]

and await further instructions. A status

[55:05]

screen pops up revealing he's reached

[55:07]

beast tamer level 8 with 3 million

[55:10]

creatures under his command. Another

[55:11]

screen details troop deployment and his

[55:13]

formation master status. Nanzing remarks

[55:16]

that he's finally unlocked the formation

[55:18]

tree. Given this, he decides to further

[55:20]

accelerate his leveling and return to

[55:22]

the slaughterhouse for more source

[55:23]

stones. Back at Y City's slaughterhouse,

[55:26]

he walks among the carcasses of the

[55:27]

slaughtered beasts. With enough source

[55:29]

stones to level up, he resolves to test

[55:31]

out his new sword key formation. The

[55:34]

creatures trapped in their cages begin

[55:35]

to stir. With eyes closed, he summons a

[55:38]

thousand blades by the power of heaven

[55:40]

and earth. Countless energy blades begin

[55:42]

to spin around him. Next, he activates

[55:44]

the sword chief formation. The formation

[55:46]

springs to life, creating an intense

[55:47]

whirlwind of energy. Nanzing observes

[55:49]

that a single level one formation is

[55:51]

still far too weak. So, he decides to

[55:53]

stack two sword chief formations

[55:55]

totaling 2,000 blades. He realizes that

[55:58]

with formations installed in each

[55:59]

workshop, the place will practically run

[56:01]

itself. In the second slaughter

[56:03]

workshop, he activates [music] 2,000

[56:05]

bloodlust formations. An hour later, a

[56:07]

status screen confirms his formation

[56:09]

master system has been upgraded to level

[56:11]

two. At daybreak, Nanzi Ying gazes at

[56:14]

the sky, concluding it's time to bid

[56:16]

everyone farewell and head to the front

[56:17]

lines. Just then, Shiaoli arrives at the

[56:20]

slaughter house, greeting Auntie Wong

[56:21]

and Auntie Jang. They notice the open

[56:23]

door, and one comments that he probably

[56:25]

came back right after dinner. Auntie

[56:27]

Wong blames the reporters for what

[56:28]

happened. She explains she spent the

[56:30]

entire night arguing with trolls in the

[56:32]

news comments section. Her phone

[56:34]

displays an article about Nanziing<unk>s

[56:36]

father, followed by countless negative

[56:38]

comments about him. Shao reacts, saying

[56:40]

they've crossed the line while the other

[56:41]

colleague expresses concern for their

[56:43]

boss. Suddenly, Nanziing appears,

[56:45]

startling all three of them. He remarks

[56:47]

that he arrived at just the right time

[56:49]

as he needs to hand over a few things to

[56:51]

everyone. Shaolu stares at him, asking

[56:53]

if he's really planning to do that thing

[56:56]

she's thinking of. A senior figure

[56:57]

approaches, handing Nanzi a letter from

[56:59]

his father. The words jump off the page.

[57:02]

His father and sister are already on

[57:03]

their way to the battlefield, sharing

[57:05]

the heavy burden of their family's honor

[57:07]

and shame. His father knows Nanzying is

[57:09]

planning something grand, reminding him

[57:11]

he's never shied away from a challenge.

[57:13]

Then comes the bombshell, the mysterious

[57:15]

Assura on the leaderboard. That's

[57:16]

Nanzying. His father advises him to

[57:18]

stand firm, ignore the whispers, and

[57:20]

look after his mother, who remains in

[57:22]

the city. Nanzi finishes the letter

[57:24]

signed with love and respect by Nan

[57:26]

Shenhong. His colleagues quickly try to

[57:28]

reassure him, insisting he shouldn't

[57:30]

overdo it. His work is vital, and those

[57:32]

supplies are crucial for the front

[57:34]

lines. Auntie Wong even vows to

[57:36]

personally silence anyone on the

[57:37]

internet who dares badmouth him again.

[57:39]

He thanks them all, states he's fine,

[57:41]

and then announces he has something

[57:43]

important to tell them. The construction

[57:44]

of the fifth reserve defense line has

[57:46]

been announced, and he intends to apply

[57:48]

for the project's chief engineer

[57:50]

position. He quickly reassures the group

[57:52]

that this won't delay their current work

[57:54]

at the slaughter house. A convoy of

[57:55]

military vehicles rolls past a

[57:57]

snow-covered statue on a desolate road.

[58:00]

Among the crowd, Nanziing watches them

[58:02]

pass, affirming to himself that his

[58:04]

father's words are etched in his heart.

[58:06]

He reflects that going to the

[58:07]

battlefield now would change nothing.

[58:09]

He'd just kill a few monsters and leave

[58:11]

his mother unprotected. Worse, without

[58:13]

Zenos providing source stones for his

[58:14]

own enhancement, he'd ultimately be

[58:16]

powerless to protect anyone. To truly

[58:18]

win, he decides to pour all his efforts

[58:20]

into the fifth defense line, humanity's

[58:23]

last hope, vowing not to disappoint his

[58:25]

father. Three days later, at the

[58:26]

construction site, Chief Engineer Nan is

[58:28]

showered with praise for his tireless

[58:30]

work. Engineer Lee explains the defense

[58:32]

line steel wall will stand 30 m tall, 50

[58:35]

m thick, and stretch for 300 km. Nanzi

[58:38]

thanks his team, but quickly adds that

[58:40]

the wall is just a facade. It won't be

[58:42]

enough to stop the monsters. The real

[58:44]

defense, he reveals, will come from

[58:45]

formations. For that, he'll need a ton

[58:47]

of source stones, of which he already

[58:49]

has three and a half million. The

[58:51]

uninhabited area between Yei City and

[58:53]

the defense line proves to be the ideal

[58:55]

spot to begin deploying these

[58:56]

formations. So, he sets to work,

[58:59]

installing 50,000 blazing flame

[59:01]

formations across a single kilometer

[59:03]

under the sun and moon. He then summons

[59:05]

a giant elemental. Shortly after, he

[59:07]

deploys 50,000 elemental sword chi

[59:10]

formations and finally orders another

[59:12]

50,000 blazing flame formations stacked

[59:15]

every kilometer. Nonzing continues

[59:17]

stacking tens of thousands of elemental

[59:19]

sword chi and blazing flame formations

[59:22]

across the entire length. A status

[59:24]

screen pops up revealing his formation

[59:26]

master level has risen to three with

[59:28]

500,000 formations now deployed. He

[59:30]

surveys the landscape ahead now 10 km

[59:33]

covered in layers of level two

[59:35]

formations. Seeing this, he decides to

[59:37]

save his source stones for the second

[59:39]

layer. These current formations should

[59:40]

be enough to stall lower level Zenos.

[59:42]

With that, he completes the first

[59:44]

defensive layer around Yes City,

[59:46]

totaling 1,250,000

[59:48]

stacked level two formations. The next

[59:51]

day, engineer Lee rushes onto the

[59:53]

construction site, clearly agitated, to

[59:55]

report a problem. Breathless, he shoves

[59:58]

his phone forward, showing news reports

[60:00]

labeling the plan ineffective and

[60:02]

stating the public is in an uproar.

[60:03]

Nanzing calms him down, instructing

[60:06]

construction to continue as planned.

[60:07]

He'll present a new enhancement plan. He

[60:10]

reveals the defense line is actually a

[60:11]

decoy designed to lull the Zenos into a

[60:14]

false sense of security before they hit

[60:15]

the real formations. As he speaks, an

[60:18]

idea sparks. How to make the defense

[60:20]

line more practical beyond just

[60:22]

deceiving the enemy. Suddenly, a

[60:24]

brilliant idea strikes him. Nanzying

[60:26]

snatches the clipboard from Engineer

[60:28]

Lee's hands. Even without having

[60:29]

unlocked the command rune element

[60:31]

ability, he begins preparing the ground

[60:33]

for its future deployment. He instructs

[60:34]

the engineer to build two moes. A front

[60:37]

one filled with water and a rear one

[60:38]

brimming with crude oil. The plan?

[60:41]

Electrify the wall in water when the

[60:42]

Zenos arrive, then ignite the oil to

[60:44]

burn them alive. Engineer Lee, utterly

[60:46]

thrilled, declares he'll take this

[60:48]

brilliant idea straight to City Hall. As

[60:50]

the engineer scurries off, Nanzi Ying

[60:52]

muses that once he unlocks the command

[60:54]

rune element, this defense will get way

[60:56]

more interesting. With recent kills and

[60:58]

the beast tides [music] harvest, he now

[61:00]

has enough source stones to level up,

[61:02]

reaching level four. The cities of Juan,

[61:04]

Q, and Gan now boast a 45 mile defense

[61:07]

line, equipped with 375,000

[61:10]

level two formations. A status screen

[61:12]

indicates his formation master level is

[61:14]

now four, though the next upgrade is

[61:16]

still a while away. Suddenly, Nanzying

[61:19]

senses a familiar powerful Zenos aura.

[61:21]

At the same time, he detects an equally

[61:23]

intense human aura nearby. He looks

[61:25]

down, concluding the situation isn't

[61:27]

looking good at all. He realizes the

[61:29]

Zenos are trying to assassinate one of

[61:31]

their own. Deep in the mountains, hidden

[61:32]

away, lies the Chu clan. Suddenly, a

[61:35]

figure emerges from their secluded

[61:36]

retreat, and the resulting explosion

[61:38]

devastates the entire surrounding area.

[61:41]

Patriarch Chu Chong Xang immediately

[61:43]

questions why Shinghi left seclusion 2

[61:45]

years ahead of schedule. Chu Shinghi

[61:47]

explains he sensed a powerful aura from

[61:49]

the northwestern border, an aura that

[61:51]

helped him advance his cultivation. The

[61:53]

patriarch finds this strange as that

[61:55]

region is known to be utterly devoid of

[61:57]

spiritual energy. Yet Shinghi insists

[61:59]

that's precisely why the phenomenon is

[62:02]

so significant. Shinghi then announces

[62:04]

his decision to personally visit the

[62:06]

border despite his master's warnings

[62:08]

about xenos scouts in the area. He leaps

[62:10]

into the air, declaring that danger is

[62:12]

inevitable in this apocalyptic era. Soon

[62:14]

after, he departs, utilizing his domain

[62:17]

flight, convinced the journey will be

[62:18]

well worth it if he can get some

[62:20]

guidance from the expert whose presence

[62:22]

he felt. An hour later, he encounters

[62:24]

impressive formations and concludes that

[62:26]

great masters must be hidden in the

[62:27]

northwest. Suddenly, he senses something

[62:30]

approaching, a massive winged creature

[62:32]

emerging in the night sky under the full

[62:34]

moon. Then, a Zenos from slaughter unit

[62:36]

3518 attacks him by surprise. Chuing

[62:39]

quickly dodges and counterattacks,

[62:41]

launching a projectile at another

[62:43]

smaller creature. But one of the Zenos

[62:45]

charges again, making the snow-covered

[62:47]

ground explode around him. At that

[62:48]

instant, he [music] realizes each

[62:50]

opponent is a member of an elite unit

[62:52]

that has been observing him for some

[62:54]

time. A decaying Zenos Colossus detects

[62:56]

a level 10 Esper Prodigy and immediately

[62:58]

receives the order to exterminate him.

[63:00]

The mechanical creature charges forward

[63:02]

to attack. Chuing immediately activates

[63:04]

his domain control to counterattack.

[63:06]

With the domain sword manifesto, he

[63:09]

summons the blazing hell's azure spirit

[63:11]

to strike his enemies, declaring that

[63:12]

all who dare invade his territory will

[63:14]

face his eternal wrath. Meanwhile,

[63:17]

Nanziing reflects that changes in the

[63:19]

timeline can directly affect prodigies.

[63:21]

He remembers that in the previous

[63:22]

timeline, their combined strength

[63:24]

ensured eight more years of war. Now,

[63:27]

acutely aware that the Zenos have sent

[63:29]

assassins, he decides he won't allow

[63:31]

them to fall prematurely. Chu Shinghi's

[63:34]

energy blades strike the mechanical

[63:36]

Zenos, but the decaying colossus blocks

[63:38]

the attack with its own arm. He admits

[63:40]

that facing two elite Zenos at the same

[63:42]

time is rapidly draining his strength.

[63:44]

Suddenly, both creatures attack

[63:46]

simultaneously with full force. The

[63:48]

impact of the collision hurls all three

[63:50]

away, devastating the surrounding

[63:52]

landscape. Chu [music] Singh is thrown

[63:54]

back, barely managing to block part of

[63:55]

the attack. He clutches a small

[63:57]

creature, wondering if his fate is to

[63:59]

meet his end in this desolate place.

[64:01]

Still, [music] he refuses to accept this

[64:03]

outcome, swearing he will take at least

[64:05]

one of them down with him. Someone

[64:06]

shouts a warning just as one of the

[64:08]

Zenos charges forward again. A gigantic

[64:10]

explosion erupts on the mountain side,

[64:12]

and amidst the smoke, Nanziing emerges,

[64:15]

supporting the wounded Chu Shingh,

[64:17]

recognizing him as the powerful senior

[64:19]

whose aura he had sensed. Chu Shinghi

[64:21]

stares as Nanziing asks, "Can you still

[64:24]

[music] fight? Even wounded," Shingh

[64:26]

affirms he can. And Nanziing proposes a

[64:28]

plan. "You face the Iron Slayer. I'll

[64:31]

deal with the decaying colossus. Chooing

[64:33]

agrees without hesitation and both

[64:35]

charge together against the xenos. The

[64:37]

colossus detects an esper of unknown

[64:39]

level and immediately issues the order

[64:41]

for extermination. Nanzying, however,

[64:43]

calmly comments that the slayer arrived

[64:45]

at the perfect time to test his

[64:47]

formations. Next, he activates the level

[64:49]

three twisted earth spike formation,

[64:51]

trapping the creature. However, he

[64:53]

quickly realizes that a single formation

[64:55]

of that level isn't enough against this

[64:57]

monstrous enemy. Faced with this, he

[64:59]

decides to go all out, stacking 50,000

[65:02]

earth spike formations along with 50,000

[65:04]

freezing formations. Ice spikes

[65:06]

violently erupt from the ground all

[65:08]

around, and the Iron Slayer is directly

[65:10]

hit by the freezing attack. A gigantic

[65:12]

ice structure erupts from the ground,

[65:14]

completely dominating the area, while

[65:16]

Chu Shingh directly confronts the

[65:18]

decaying colossus. Faced with the

[65:20]

overwhelming power of these formations,

[65:22]

he can only wonder just who is this man,

[65:25]

and what after all could be his true

[65:26]

purpose? A man observes the frozen

[65:28]

creature, confidently declaring they've

[65:30]

succeeded. Nanziing, however, instantly

[65:33]

snaps a warning. Be careful. Don't let

[65:35]

your guard down. True to his word, the

[65:37]

creature suddenly breaks free and lunges

[65:39]

at the man. Without a moment's

[65:41]

hesitation, Nanziing unleashes an

[65:43]

attack, activating his power and naming

[65:46]

it Assura. The Berserker technique rips

[65:48]

through the creature's body, tearing it

[65:50]

[music] apart. His companion stares in

[65:52]

shock, wondering if Nanziing is the

[65:54]

legendary rank 10 esper Assura. Nanzi

[65:57]

Ying stops before the fallen monster,

[65:59]

then turns and apologizes to his

[66:01]

companion for the delay. He approaches,

[66:03]

telling the man not to move and touches

[66:05]

his forehead. A 10-fold amplification

[66:07]

formation appears, applying itself over

[66:09]

the injured man. As his companion lies

[66:11]

on the ground, Nanziing simply tells him

[66:13]

to continue fighting. A system warning

[66:16]

flashes. The human body cannot withstand

[66:18]

more than 10 amplifications. it will

[66:20]

result in death. Moments later, the man

[66:22]

collapses and Nanzying cuts off the

[66:24]

process. The creature is still stirring,

[66:26]

making it too risky to continue in this

[66:28]

state. Nanzying decides he has no other

[66:30]

choice, then looks up, stunned by what

[66:32]

he sees in the sky. Chu Singh activates

[66:35]

his domain, then uses his sword

[66:37]

manifestation to bind the creature. But

[66:39]

then another figure shatters its icy

[66:41]

prison and leaps into the air, appearing

[66:43]

directly above Nanzi. Nanziing prepares

[66:46]

a level four lightning barrage

[66:48]

formation, overloading it 50,000fold.

[66:51]

Then he commands the attack to

[66:53]

exterminate the monster. The blast

[66:55]

strikes the creature, revealing

[66:56]

Nanzing<unk>s overwhelming combat power.

[66:59]

Chuing Hi kneels in gratitude, declaring

[67:01]

his clan forever indebted to Nanzing,

[67:03]

but Nanzing merely tells him to rise.

[67:05]

Chu Shingh then probes, questioning if

[67:07]

the mysterious Esperasura is planning

[67:09]

something monumental. Nanziing responds

[67:12]

that the time isn't right. Shingghi

[67:13]

deduces that by positioning these

[67:15]

formations, Nanzying intends to

[67:17]

transform this location into the

[67:19]

ultimate battlefield against the Zenos.

[67:21]

Following his line of thought, he asks

[67:23]

if Nanzing surname begins with N. Chu

[67:25]

Singhi explains it wasn't hard to figure

[67:27]

out. The Assura class represents pure

[67:30]

carnage, and the man mentioned in the

[67:31]

news commands a slaughter house. He adds

[67:33]

that the formations are close to the

[67:35]

fifth line of defense, so he won't say

[67:37]

anymore to avoid detection. He concludes

[67:39]

that it's all just intuition and a

[67:41]

hunch, asking not to be held responsible

[67:43]

if he's wrong. Chuing admits he's been

[67:45]

in reclusion for 10 years. Nanzying

[67:47]

simply declares, "You [music] win."

[67:49]

Shingi then offers to lead the Chu clan

[67:51]

to the seventh line of defense, buying

[67:53]

time for Nanzi<unk>s plan. Nanziing

[67:55]

reflects on the existence of such

[67:56]

extraordinarily intelligent people in

[67:58]

the world. He thanks Shingi, but warns

[68:00]

him the front lines are extremely

[68:02]

dangerous and asks him to promise to

[68:03]

survive. Chushing interrupts, assuring

[68:05]

him he understands the situation and

[68:07]

will protect everyone on the seventh

[68:09]

line of defense. Nanziing remembers his

[68:11]

father and younger sister, then asks to

[68:13]

be taken to the clan, wanting to gift

[68:15]

everyone his amplification formation.

[68:17]

Along the way, Chu Shingi comments that

[68:19]

his younger sister possesses

[68:20]

teleportation abilities that could be

[68:22]

extremely useful. News reports begin to

[68:25]

flood in, announcing that Chu Shinghi,

[68:27]

the Chu Clan's prodigy and a mysterious

[68:29]

formation master, have rapidly ascended

[68:31]

the Esper rankings. In the streets,

[68:33]

people comment that these prodigies are

[68:35]

flying directly into war, reaching the

[68:37]

front lines long before the veterans.

[68:39]

Chu Shingh leaves his younger sister Chu

[68:41]

Tian in Nanzing<unk>s care. Nanzing

[68:43]

observes how tiny she is, then questions

[68:45]

if Shingh is actually asking him to be a

[68:47]

babysitter. From a distance, two people

[68:49]

watch, commenting that while one prodigy

[68:51]

fights on the battlefield, the loser

[68:53]

Nanzing is just playing with children.

[68:55]

Chuen uses her power on a lollipop,

[68:57]

shattering it into pieces. Moments

[68:59]

later, a manhole cover is violently

[69:01]

flung into the air. right in front of

[69:02]

them. Someone screams that two ladies

[69:04]

fell into the sewer and Nanzying

[69:06]

immediately realizes who's responsible.

[69:08]

He then wonders if this girl is really

[69:11]

the Chu Tienne from the Esper rankings,

[69:13]

confirming it's a level eight spatial

[69:15]

ability. Nanzing greets her, realizing

[69:17]

that with her help, he'll no longer need

[69:19]

a disguise to use his necromancy.

[69:21]

Meanwhile, he mentally braces himself

[69:23]

for the challenges yet to come. His

[69:24]

fourth ability, necromancy, finally

[69:27]

awakens, demanding a million undead to

[69:29]

evolve to the next level. A woman is

[69:31]

stunned when she learns Nanziing plans

[69:33]

to take over the work of 20 entire

[69:35]

cities along the fifth defensive line.

[69:37]

She immediately questions how he could

[69:38]

possibly handle such an insane workload

[69:41]

and the immense distances involved.

[69:42]

Nanziing just tells her to relax and get

[69:44]

the necessary authorization, which she

[69:47]

assures him won't be a problem. He

[69:48]

thanks her, bids farewell, and says he

[69:50]

still has a lot on his plate. As the

[69:52]

woman watches him leave, she wonders why

[69:54]

he chose to work in the rear instead of

[69:56]

pushing directly to the front lines.

[69:58]

Moments later, Nanziing summons Chuen to

[70:01]

join him, and she readily agrees. He

[70:03]

praises her excellent work as she stands

[70:05]

proudly beside her powerful summons.

[70:07]

Nanziing announces that the invocation

[70:09]

is about to begin and instructs Chu Ten

[70:11]

to teleport them to the Chin Emperor's

[70:13]

mausoleum. Chu Tien activates her

[70:15]

teleportation ability without

[70:16]

hesitation. However, they both instantly

[70:19]

appear in a completely different,

[70:21]

dangerous location, surrounded by

[70:23]

hostile creatures. Nanzying immediately

[70:25]

realizes this isn't the mausoleum at

[70:27]

all. she's teleported them to the wrong

[70:29]

place. He quickly deduces that her

[70:31]

amplified teleportation has a strict 100

[70:34]

km range limit. Suddenly, a marker

[70:36]

appears, indicating that this is now the

[70:39]

only possible path to the mausoleum.

[70:41]

Given their predicament, he quickly

[70:42]

tells Chuen to find a safe spot. The

[70:45]

girl vanishes in an instant, prompting

[70:46]

Nanzing to remark that she's even

[70:48]

smarter than her own brother. Next,

[70:50]

Nanzing activates his powerful

[70:52]

necromancy skill. He commands the

[70:54]

ancient spirit of the great Chin dynasty

[70:56]

to awaken. A massive wave of spiritual

[70:58]

energy bursts forth from the ground.

[71:00]

Moments later, a colossal ghostly figure

[71:03]

materializes, [music] its voice booming

[71:05]

as it demands to know who dares disturb

[71:07]

its slumber. Nanziing takes in the

[71:09]

imposing presence. Considering that

[71:10]

perhaps a dialogue is possible, he

[71:12]

implores the emperor to lend him his

[71:14]

formidable army, but is immediately

[71:16]

dismissed as an insolent child. The

[71:18]

emperor scoffs, asking if Nanziing truly

[71:21]

believes his legendary soldiers exist

[71:23]

merely to be commanded by anyone. If he

[71:25]

wishes for their service, he must first

[71:27]

prove himself worthy. Nanziing

[71:29]

unflinchingly accepts the challenge and

[71:31]

immediately activates his terrifying

[71:33]

Assura mode. The emperor scoffs at his

[71:35]

display, boastfully, declaring that he

[71:38]

himself unified six entire realms in his

[71:40]

time. The two titans then clash in a

[71:42]

devastating direct frontal assault.

[71:44]

Nanzi declares that true worth can only

[71:46]

be forged and revealed through battle.

[71:48]

The emperor retorts, branding him an

[71:50]

arrogant fool. Nanziing unleashes the

[71:53]

powerful Assura technique, Dragon

[71:55]

Hunter. The emperor swiftly counters,

[71:57]

vowing to show Nanzi what a true dragon

[72:00]

hunter looks like. He then summons his

[72:02]

ultimate supreme power. He unleashes the

[72:04]

devastating nine dragons destruction

[72:06]

upon Nanziing. The young warrior

[72:08]

fiercely counters, deploying the Assura

[72:11]

technique, Demon Hunter. Recognizing the

[72:13]

ancient spirit's overwhelming strength,

[72:15]

Nanzi unleashes the absolute maximum

[72:18]

power of Assura. Immediately afterward,

[72:20]

he activates his terrifying ability,

[72:22]

hell on earth. The Emperor dismisses the

[72:24]

attack with a sneer, treating it as

[72:26]

nothing more than a childish act.

[72:28]

Nanzying simply challenges him with a

[72:30]

single potent question. To the emperor's

[72:32]

horror, Nanzing<unk>s technique begins

[72:34]

to slowly consume his mighty dragon. The

[72:37]

ancient spirit is utterly stunned,

[72:39]

questioning how such a feat is even

[72:41]

possible. Nanzing then kneels

[72:42]

respectfully before the emperor, asking

[72:44]

forgiveness from his majesty. But then

[72:46]

in a swift move, he lunges forward and

[72:49]

delivers a direct decisive strike. The

[72:51]

emperor roars for him to stop, warning

[72:54]

that he'll bring the entire mausoleum

[72:55]

crashing down on them both. Nanzi Ying

[72:58]

retracts his weapon, respectfully bowing

[73:00]

and thanking his majesty. The ancient

[73:02]

spirit, finally admitting defeat,

[73:04]

conceds that it has been dormant for far

[73:06]

too many years. But before he'll lend

[73:08]

his legendary army, he demands the

[73:10]

entire story be told to him first. The

[73:12]

emperor hands Nanzing a tiger talisman,

[73:14]

explaining that with it, he's bound to

[73:16]

protect his descendants. Gripping the

[73:18]

artifact, Nanzing summons the legendary

[73:20]

warriors of Chin. He calls them to

[73:22]

defend their homeland, and a colossal

[73:24]

energy erupts from the ground,

[73:26]

manifesting an entire army. The system

[73:28]

screen flashes. 100 million soldiers

[73:30]

invoked. Just then, the elemental

[73:32]

forbidden spell skill tree finally

[73:34]

unlocks, granting Nanzi Ying devastating

[73:37]

elemental magic, whose power grows with

[73:39]

every single level. The emperor warns

[73:41]

him about Zenos assassins hunting two

[73:44]

prodigies in opposite directions.

[73:45]

Nanziing admits he can't save both

[73:47]

alone. Faced with this impossible

[73:49]

choice, the emperor calls upon Wongjian

[73:51]

and Mong Tian. The two fantasmal

[73:53]

generals appear, instantly ordered to

[73:55]

crush the invaders. Nanziing then tells

[73:58]

his majesty to head east while he'll

[74:00]

handle the west, shouting for Chuen to

[74:02]

join him. Meanwhile, elsewhere, puppet

[74:04]

master Su Chang of the Sue clan finds

[74:06]

himself surrounded by monstrous

[74:08]

creatures. He laments his terrible

[74:10]

timing as he questions the sudden surge

[74:12]

of energy. He unleashes his collision of

[74:14]

a 100 phantom skill, commanding the

[74:16]

monsters to die, but is wounded in the

[74:18]

process. Still not enough. Such changes,

[74:22]

ins snaring one beast with his threads.

[74:24]

He calmly tells his puppet not to worry,

[74:26]

claiming the opponent is a friend who

[74:28]

won't hurt her. However, the Zenos

[74:30]

attacks without hesitation, brutally

[74:32]

demonstrating that there's no mercy,

[74:34]

even among its own kind. Seeing the true

[74:36]

nature of his foe, he urges his puppet,

[74:39]

"Fight. Show them what you're made of."

[74:41]

The relentless onslaught continues,

[74:43]

striking both Suchanga and his puppet.

[74:45]

Another monster charges, and he barely

[74:47]

dodges before a winged Zenos joins the

[74:49]

fry. "A pack of rabid dogs!" Such Chang

[74:52]

snars, defending himself against their

[74:54]

savage blows. He decides if he's going

[74:57]

down, he's taking every single alien

[74:59]

bastard with him. A mysterious light

[75:00]

then flares in his chest, making him

[75:02]

wonder what it means. Just then, Emperor

[75:05]

Chin Shuang materializes, offering aid

[75:08]

on behalf of someone else, and is

[75:09]

immediately recognized. The emperor

[75:11]

urges him to finish the fight quickly.

[75:13]

Such Chang thanks him, though completely

[75:15]

bewildered by the situation. Chin Shu

[75:17]

Huang then turns to the invaders,

[75:18]

threatening his descendants and roars,

[75:20]

"No mercy for them." His fantasmal

[75:22]

warriors confirm their majesty's

[75:24]

command, and the spiritual army charges,

[75:26]

tearing into the Zeno's horde. In a

[75:28]

desolate desert west of the Chin

[75:29]

mausoleum, Chinying desperately tells

[75:32]

his sister, Chin Sway, [music] to run at

[75:34]

his signal, but she stubbornly refuses.

[75:36]

He pleads with her to listen as they

[75:37]

both stare down a monstrous horde. With

[75:40]

no other choice, Chinying activates his

[75:42]

plant invocation, summoning a mighty

[75:44]

Lonewood behemoth before them. He

[75:46]

screams for his sister to flee while

[75:47]

there's still time, but one of the vile

[75:49]

creatures smashes straight through his

[75:51]

summoned beast. Chinyang binds the

[75:53]

enemies with a tangle of vines only to

[75:55]

be attacked from behind. The Zeno's

[75:57]

beast prepares to charge his sister and

[75:59]

in a primal roar, he screams, "How dare

[76:01]

you touch my younger sister?" Enraged,

[76:03]

[music] he unleashes a choking grip,

[76:05]

attacking the monster with unbridled

[76:07]

fury. Just then, his sister warns him of

[76:09]

danger from above. And as an attack

[76:11]

descends, she leaps forward, shielding

[76:14]

her brother. Suddenly, Nanziing appears

[76:16]

on the battlefield, immediately,

[76:17]

commanding Chuen to teleport all the

[76:19]

monsters 1 kilometer south. Instantly,

[76:21]

[music]

[76:22]

everyone reappears in the new location.

[76:24]

Nanziing orders the siblings to stay

[76:26]

still and silent. He then declares he

[76:28]

will amplify their powers 10fold.

[76:30]

Finally, he instructs them to handle

[76:32]

half the monsters once the amplification

[76:34]

is complete, while the other half will

[76:36]

face the sheer destructive power of his

[76:38]

forbidden spells. Nanzying unleashes a

[76:40]

forbidden lightning spell, overcharging

[76:42]

it a hundfold. The devastating attack

[76:45]

obliterates the monsters and his system

[76:47]

proudly announces a skill level up.

[76:49]

Chinsuy immediately scolds him. You

[76:51]

should have only taken out half and left

[76:52]

the rest for us. Nanzying sheepishly

[76:55]

apologizes, admitting he got a little

[76:57]

carried away and didn't expect the spell

[76:58]

to be that powerful. Chinying points out

[77:01]

there are still a few enemies left. The

[77:03]

brothers charge forward with a joint

[77:05]

vine strike while Nanziing executes an

[77:07]

infernal armlock. The vines swiftly coil

[77:10]

around the remaining monsters, securing

[77:12]

them tightly. Nanziing, having witnessed

[77:14]

enough of their combat prowess,

[77:16]

declares, "I've seen enough from you

[77:18]

two. The last enemy is mine." He then

[77:20]

prepares another forbidden spell. This

[77:22]

time of the earth element, overcharging

[77:24]

it 50 times, a colossal stone arm erupts

[77:27]

from the ground. With a simple command

[77:29]

to bury it, the earth rises and swallows

[77:32]

the creature whole. Chuen observes the

[77:34]

entire spectacle from a distance.

[77:35]

Chinyang turns to his sister. "I thought

[77:37]

of a name for that." She nods in

[77:39]

agreement. He suggests flipping the

[77:41]

heavens, but she counters with earth in

[77:43]

chaos. They both realize their ideas

[77:45]

aren't exactly in sync. Immediately

[77:47]

after, the two siblings kneel,

[77:49]

expressing their profound gratitude to

[77:51]

Nanziing on behalf of the Chin clan for

[77:53]

saving their lives. Nanziing wonders if

[77:56]

all ancient clans bow down like this.

[77:58]

The siblings in unison offer their very

[78:00]

lives to their benefactor, swearing to

[78:03]

obey any command without hesitation.

[78:05]

Nanzying then asks, "Do you even know

[78:07]

who I am?" Both admit they don't.

[78:09]

Apologizing for not asking his name

[78:11]

sooner. He muses that not every prodigy

[78:13]

is as sharp as Chu Shinghi. Suddenly,

[78:16]

the emperor's voice echoes, remarking

[78:18]

that the young man's temperament matches

[78:19]

his own, suggesting they could have been

[78:22]

great friends. Such changes with the

[78:24]

emperor, asking if this masked figure is

[78:26]

the one the emperor spoke of. The spirit

[78:28]

confirms it. Such changes his gratitude

[78:30]

for being saved, acknowledging his

[78:32]

massive debt to Nanzi. Nanziing then

[78:34]

makes two requests. Take me to your

[78:36]

clans and prepare everyone for a

[78:37]

collective amplification boost. Such

[78:39]

changing with the bewildered siblings

[78:42]

asks, "Amplification? What's that?"

[78:44]

Nanzying gives them a practical

[78:46]

demonstration, applying a 10-fold

[78:48]

amplification directly to Su Chang. As

[78:50]

Such Chang reels from the effects,

[78:52]

Nanziing prepares to reveal something

[78:54]

more. Chinyanging asks what else their

[78:56]

benefactor desires, but Nanzying

[78:58]

hesitates, contemplating sending them to

[79:00]

the front lines. He questions the

[79:02]

morality of sending others to war while

[79:03]

he remains in the rear. Ultimately, he

[79:05]

simply tells them, "Just take good care

[79:07]

of yourselves." Such changes, "You have

[79:10]

trouble expressing yourself, don't you?"

[79:11]

He presses further. "Why don't you ask

[79:13]

for help? Do you see us as a burden?

[79:15]

You're trying to play the lone hero in

[79:17]

the shadows." Chinsu immediately scolds

[79:19]

him for speaking to their benefactor

[79:21]

that way. But Nanzying admits, "He's

[79:23]

right." He then instructs them, "Lead

[79:25]

your clans to the seventh defensive line

[79:27]

and meet me at the fifth when this is

[79:28]

all over. That's when I'll reveal my

[79:30]

true face. The others accept his orders

[79:32]

without hesitation. Nanziing then

[79:34]

entrusts the 10 million Chinclan

[79:36]

soldiers to the emperor, who understands

[79:38]

immediately. Nanziing bows in gratitude

[79:40]

to everyone, but they urge him to rise.

[79:42]

The emperor then declares, "The blood of

[79:44]

emperors runs through your veins, and

[79:46]

your spirit shall never perish." News

[79:48]

reports flood in. While some prodigies

[79:50]

lead their clans to the defense lines,

[79:52]

others are being systematically

[79:54]

slaughtered. Across various regions,

[79:56]

desperate groups of people are horrified

[79:57]

to learn that humanity's future, the

[79:59]

prodigies, [music]

[80:00]

are being killed one by one. Nanzying

[80:03]

realizes these talents are awakening

[80:04]

earlier than they should. But he also

[80:06]

understands he can't guarantee

[80:08]

everyone's safety. He concludes he must

[80:10]

strike at the heart of the problem.

[80:11]

Trying to save every single person would

[80:13]

be like trying to empty the ocean with a

[80:15]

single bucket. Nanzying calls out to

[80:17]

Chuen, announcing, "We're heading to the

[80:19]

northern desert. There, I'll awaken the

[80:21]

five great prodigies to draw out every

[80:23]

last Xenos assassin. Finally, he

[80:26]

declares his ultimate goal. I plan to

[80:28]

capture them all in one fell swoop.

[80:31]

Nanziing requests Chuten lead them to

[80:33]

the nearby Han tombs. There, he cries

[80:35]

out, demanding the great ancestors of

[80:37]

the Han dynasty awaken, for the world

[80:39]

needs them once more. He specifically

[80:41]

summons Emperor Wu, General Weiqing, and

[80:44]

General Huo Chubing, declaring that all

[80:46]

who dare offend Han will face his unholy

[80:49]

wrath. The system screen flashes,

[80:51]

revealing a horrifying truth. Necromancy

[80:53]

now controls 70 million Chin Dynasty

[80:56]

soldiers and 20 million Han Dynasty

[80:58]

soldiers. Nanzing wastes no time,

[81:00]

ordering the 20 million Han warriors to

[81:03]

surge across the northern desert and

[81:05]

exterminate every last invader. Colossal

[81:07]

energy erupts skyward as Nanzing

[81:09]

announces the grand entrance of the five

[81:11]

prodigies has finally arrived. Without

[81:14]

hesitation, he decides to start with

[81:16]

Assura, activating hell on Earth mode to

[81:18]

its absolute maximum. Meanwhile, at the

[81:20]

Paranormal Investigation and Monitoring

[81:22]

Agency, sensors go wild, identifying the

[81:25]

presence of the mysterious Assura. One

[81:27]

agent gasps, realizing the detected

[81:29]

energy is now countless times stronger

[81:31]

than before, concluding he must have

[81:33]

entered full-blown Berserk mode.

[81:35]

Nanziing then commands his forces to

[81:37]

form ranks, front, rear, and flanks.

[81:40]

Suddenly, another powerful figure, a

[81:42]

formation master emerges. He invokes the

[81:44]

very power of heaven and earth to

[81:46]

shatter the firmament and seal the

[81:47]

ground. Simultaneously, he prepares an

[81:50]

elemental sword chi, an earth spike

[81:52]

formation, and a freezing formation.

[81:54]

These intricate formations overlap a

[81:56]

million times, expanding for a 100 miles

[81:58]

before they are even deployed. Back at

[82:00]

the agency, the agent detects another

[82:03]

massive energy wave erupting from the

[82:05]

same location. She wonders if this could

[82:07]

be the work of the infamous formation

[82:08]

master from the Esper rankings. Then, as

[82:11]

if things weren't chaotic enough, Douan,

[82:13]

another man, unleashes raw necromancy,

[82:16]

calling forth the great spirits of the

[82:17]

Han dynasty. The spectral figures of

[82:19]

Emperor Wu, Weiqing, and Ho Kubing

[82:22]

manifest, bellowing orders to annihilate

[82:25]

the invaders for the glory of Han. One

[82:27]

of the spiritual generals raises his

[82:29]

voice, giving the final command to

[82:31]

attack. Back at the monitoring center,

[82:33]

an agent whirls around in shock,

[82:35]

demanding to know what's happening. Her

[82:36]

colleague explains that besides Assura

[82:38]

and the formation master, there's now a

[82:40]

necromancy prodigy active in the

[82:42]

northern desert. The detected energy

[82:44]

signature is stronger than anything ever

[82:46]

recorded, shattering the conventional

[82:48]

10-le scale. The agent struggles to

[82:50]

classify the sheer power they're

[82:52]

witnessing. After a tense moment, she

[82:54]

defines it. Divine level. Her colleague

[82:56]

is utterly stunned, realizing there are

[82:59]

three divine level espers in the same

[83:02]

location. Without another word, they

[83:04]

immediately decide to report to military

[83:06]

command. Meanwhile, Nanzing overcharges

[83:08]

a forbidden light element spell by a

[83:10]

hundfold. An intense blinding brilliance

[83:12]

engulfs the entire region, illuminating

[83:14]

the city as if it were midday. A man

[83:16]

outside blinks, wondering if dawn has

[83:18]

already broken. Another person replies,

[83:21]

"It's only 10 at night. Check the news

[83:23]

if you want to understand that

[83:25]

phenomenon. The news channels are

[83:26]

buzzing, reporting on four mysterious

[83:29]

divine level prodigies converging in the

[83:32]

desert, sparking both amazement and

[83:34]

desperate hope among the populace. At

[83:36]

the front line of defense, a helicopter

[83:38]

crew receives urgent orders to head

[83:39]

immediately for the northwest border of

[83:41]

the northern desert. An officer warns

[83:43]

that the journey will take over an hour,

[83:45]

but his superior barks back, demanding

[83:47]

they get there as fast as humanly

[83:49]

possible. Suddenly, a fifth prodigy

[83:51]

unleashes his power. A beast tamer

[83:53]

summons an impossible army. 500,000

[83:56]

steel wolves, 500,000 flaming steel

[83:58]

yaks, a million monkeys, and a million

[84:01]

war elephants. He then commands all

[84:03]

these summoned creatures to gather,

[84:05]

forming an unstoppable tide. News of a

[84:07]

fifth divine level esper, a legendary

[84:09]

beast tamer, spreads like wildfire.

[84:12]

People everywhere begin connecting the

[84:13]

impossible recent events, their minds

[84:15]

reeling. At a pharmaceutical factory,

[84:17]

Chenlani shows the breaking news to Susi

[84:20]

Shan, who immediately recalls the man

[84:22]

controlling a pack of wolves in the

[84:23]

desert. Meanwhile, at the resource

[84:25]

center, Jang Yuan reads the frantic

[84:28]

headlines and instantly links everything

[84:30]

to Nanziing. An intense light then

[84:32]

erupts over the eastern sea, originating

[84:34]

from the LanClan's estate. Hongland

[84:36]

Chong Dong emerges from the waters,

[84:38]

determined to meet a beast tamer of such

[84:40]

formidable caliber. At the Zhua clan's

[84:42]

estate, Zhu Yuan sees the mastery of

[84:44]

elemental magic as a rare opportunity

[84:46]

and resolves to head straight for the

[84:48]

northern desert. Members of the Shang

[84:49]

Tian, Huang, and Yu clans also mobilize,

[84:52]

all converging on the same location.

[84:54]

Soon after, the coup clan joins the

[84:56]

surging movement of the other prodigies.

[84:59]

Nanzing observes it all, realizing the

[85:01]

immense commotion won't just draw in the

[85:03]

invaders, but also every ambitious

[85:05]

prodigy out there. With a sinister grin,

[85:07]

he concludes that everything is finally

[85:09]

in place. Now all that's left is to wait

[85:12]

for the Xeno assassins to make their

[85:13]

grand entrance. Meanwhile, Huang Schwen

[85:16]

of the Hang Clan finds himself

[85:17]

surrounded by assassins, refusing to die

[85:20]

in such a desolate place. He defiantly

[85:22]

challenges the filthy creatures, but

[85:24]

they suddenly freeze. Hanguan is

[85:26]

bewildered as his enemies simply turn

[85:29]

tail and flee from him. Elsewhere in the

[85:31]

desert, Zeno assassins are locked in

[85:33]

brutal combat against countless

[85:35]

monstrous creatures. A vast army churns

[85:37]

under a suffocating cloud of dust. And

[85:39]

then Nanziing finally arrives on the

[85:42]

battlefield. "The tides of beasts are

[85:44]

here," he declares before ordering his

[85:46]

undead and summoned creatures to unleash

[85:48]

a full-scale massacre. Nanziing

[85:50]

unleashes an Assura rampage, carving

[85:52]

through the shadowy creatures

[85:53]

surrounding him. But his advance is

[85:55]

suddenly halted by one of the

[85:56]

automatons. In response, [music] he

[85:58]

unleashes the Assura hell on Earth,

[86:00]

obliterating the surrounding monsters.

[86:02]

Meanwhile, a spirit creature finds

[86:04]

itself completely surrounded and

[86:05]

overwhelmed by the enemies. Nanziing

[86:08]

realizes that both the tides of beasts

[86:10]

and the undead spirits become far more

[86:12]

formidable under this amplification

[86:13]

boost. Even so, he notes that the beasts

[86:16]

are still outmatched by the

[86:17]

counterattacking Zenos. Likewise, the

[86:19]

undead spirits advancing in organized

[86:21]

formations are struggling. He concludes

[86:23]

that while the battle is thrilling,

[86:25]

continuing this way will lead to

[86:26]

unnecessary losses. So, Nanziing orders

[86:29]

the tides of beasts and undead spirits

[86:31]

to follow his precise instructions,

[86:33]

crushing the enemy from all sides. He

[86:35]

directs the beasts to focus on the steel

[86:37]

slayers and the trolls. At the same

[86:38]

time, he commands the undead spirits to

[86:41]

attack the poisonous ape men and

[86:42]

decaying giants within the Zenos

[86:44]

territory. He announces the activation

[86:46]

of the overlapping formation. The

[86:48]

technique activates, unleashing an

[86:50]

immense pillar of energy. Then, that

[86:52]

energy explodes, completely devastating

[86:54]

the surrounding area. Nanziing turns to

[86:56]

Chuen asking for her help with the next

[86:58]

step. He requests that she immediately

[87:00]

teleport him should any Zenos manage to

[87:02]

break through the formation and advance

[87:04]

towards the city walls. Suddenly, he

[87:06]

senses something and twists his body

[87:08]

sideways. [music] Tuten reacts

[87:09]

instantly, teleporting him away.

[87:11]

Nanziing appears in the air directly

[87:13]

above one of the monsters. The creature

[87:15]

looks up, staring right at him. He

[87:17]

invokes a forbidden wind element spell.

[87:19]

He then overloads the technique 50fold,

[87:22]

creating a terrifying tornado of fire.

[87:24]

The attack hits the troll dead on,

[87:26]

completely disintegrating it. Nanziing

[87:28]

celebrates the enemy's fall, telling

[87:30]

Chuen, "Next time you can aim a little

[87:32]

higher." The effort leaves him

[87:34]

breathless for a few moments. Surrounded

[87:35]

by even more enemies, he just shrugs,

[87:37]

figuring he'll eventually get used to

[87:39]

it. Soon after, he prepares to unleash

[87:41]

another forbidden spell, a lightning

[87:43]

element one, also overloaded 50fold.

[87:46]

Nanzi Ying declares that the prodigies

[87:48]

are almost here, and he needs to end

[87:50]

this battle fast. Then he unleashes the

[87:52]

forbidden spell known as the ascending

[87:54]

earth pursuer. With a 500fold overload,

[87:57]

the burial technique activates, trapping

[87:59]

the monster between massive rocks. The

[88:02]

rock creature witnessing this

[88:03]

overwhelming power, questions what kind

[88:05]

of technique this even is. Even Zhu

[88:08]

Yuan, the prodigy of the Zhuj clan,

[88:10]

wonders how someone could manipulate

[88:11]

Earth to such an absurd degree. The

[88:13]

scene leaves him completely baffled. A

[88:15]

violent clash of powers erupts across

[88:17]

the battlefield. Then Nanziing activates

[88:20]

an amplification formation on the

[88:21]

newcomers. Zuga Yuan writhes under the

[88:24]

overwhelming impact of the

[88:25]

amplification. Once the amplification

[88:27]

was complete, Zhua Yuan asked to be

[88:29]

teleported out and tried to get the

[88:30]

senior's name, wanting to thank him

[88:32]

personally. [music] As he was being

[88:34]

teleported, Nanziing revealed he'd left

[88:36]

a message for Zhu Yuan's group and the

[88:38]

military in the North Gobi Desert. The

[88:40]

payment for his help? Simple. Follow his

[88:43]

instructions. Zu Yuan watched the spot

[88:45]

where he vanished, concluding the man

[88:47]

wasn't ready to reveal his identity just

[88:49]

yet. [music] He decided to honor the

[88:50]

request and head straight to the North

[88:52]

Gobi Desert to check the message. A

[88:54]

squadron of military helicopters soon

[88:56]

approached a frozen mountainous region.

[88:58]

DJ Jangs commanding officer questioned

[89:00]

if they were even in the right place,

[89:02]

demanding to know where the Prodigy and

[89:03]

the Xenos assassins were. Suddenly, the

[89:06]

surrounding rocks began to shift and

[89:08]

float. Juju Juan emerged from the

[89:10]

rubble, informing the commander that the

[89:11]

formation prodigy had buried every

[89:13]

single Xenos assassin. The commander

[89:15]

immediately asked if he'd found the five

[89:17]

mystical prodigies. Juga Yuan explained

[89:19]

he'd only met the formation expert and

[89:21]

couldn't even recognize him, adding that

[89:23]

the man had vanished right after

[89:24]

amplifying their abilities, leaving only

[89:26]

a message. One of the younger soldiers

[89:28]

pointed to a massive rock, claiming the

[89:30]

five prodigy's message was carved there.

[89:32]

The commander turned to the stone and

[89:34]

ordered them to read what was written.

[89:35]

As he read the content, his eyes

[89:37]

widened. He barked orders. Photograph

[89:39]

this immediately. Summon all

[89:41]

high-ranking officers for an emergency

[89:43]

meeting. From a distance, Nanzying

[89:45]

lamented that it wasn't time to reveal

[89:46]

himself yet. He mused that this was the

[89:49]

only way to gain the military's full

[89:50]

cooperation. Any retribution would be 10

[89:53]

times worse if they knew he'd acted

[89:54]

unilaterally. Human nature, he knew,

[89:56]

became unpredictable during wartime, and

[89:59]

if his identity came to light now, all

[90:01]

his efforts would have been for nothing.

[90:02]

He then called Chu Tien, ordering them

[90:04]

to return to the slaughterhouse. Now

[90:06]

that everyone saw him as a coward, it

[90:08]

would be difficult to associate him with

[90:09]

the prodigies, making it the perfect

[90:11]

disguise for a strategist who operates

[90:13]

from the shadows. News alerts blared,

[90:16]

reporting that prodigies Juga Yuan and

[90:18]

Shuan Yuan Hong were leading their clan

[90:20]

members to reinforce the seventh line of

[90:22]

defense. During an emergency meeting,

[90:24]

one of the leaders informed them that

[90:26]

the message had been left by divine

[90:27]

level prodigies and that everyone

[90:29]

capable of reinforcing the seventh line

[90:31]

of defense had already departed. The

[90:33]

commander stood, declaring they were

[90:35]

there to discuss the message

[90:36]

specifically left for the military and

[90:38]

requested everyone's opinion. Yuan

[90:41]

Ruong, the leader of the Juan Yuan clan,

[90:43]

immediately declared this wasn't just a

[90:45]

message. It was a grand strategy. He

[90:47]

interpreted source of the volcano as an

[90:50]

artificial volcano, water of the sky as

[90:52]

a colossal channel, and forest of steel

[90:55]

as a metallic jungle. As for the sky

[90:57]

burning stones, those must refer to a

[91:00]

source stone stockpile massive enough to

[91:02]

swallow the heavens themselves. General

[91:04]

Fang Lin from the second line of defense

[91:06]

observed the carvings and speculated the

[91:08]

message was likely etched by the Assura

[91:10]

Prodigy. General Lee Fay from the third

[91:12]

line of defense agreed with the analysis

[91:15]

but deemed it madness to stake the

[91:17]

nation's fate on a message of unknown

[91:19]

origin. At that moment, an older

[91:21]

colleague requested to speak for a few

[91:22]

moments. Juke Chingan, the leader of the

[91:24]

Juke clan, argued that even if the

[91:26]

Assura had left the message, the other

[91:28]

prodigies were present. He continued,

[91:31]

explaining that the messages demands

[91:32]

clearly pointed towards large-scale

[91:34]

formations and that the prodigies must

[91:36]

have excellent reasons for remaining

[91:38]

hidden. Dwan Yuan Rulong, visibly

[91:40]

animated, rose and declared, "If there

[91:42]

was ever a time to bet everything, it's

[91:44]

now. When we stand on the brink of

[91:46]

collapse," the commander then declared

[91:48]

that the five divine level prodigies had

[91:50]

eradicated thousands of alien assassins

[91:52]

in under an hour. Their destinies, he

[91:54]

affirmed, were now irrevocably

[91:56]

intertwined. With renewed determination,

[91:58]

he declared they would proceed with the

[92:00]

plan. An official announcement declared

[92:02]

the nation would embark on four

[92:04]

monumental projects. A move that to the

[92:06]

general population sounded like absolute

[92:09]

suicide. Observing the commencement of

[92:11]

the works, Nanzing praised the swift

[92:13]

decision [music] and congratulated them

[92:15]

for making the right gamble. He added

[92:16]

that since they'd placed their faith in

[92:18]

him, he wouldn't disappoint them.

[92:20]

Engineer Lee approached, commenting that

[92:21]

the projects bore a striking resemblance

[92:23]

to what Chief Engineer Nan had been

[92:25]

developing. Just then, one of the

[92:27]

workers pointed to a monitor, asking

[92:29]

what that massive vortex in the sky was.

[92:31]

The engineer turned, alarmed and

[92:33]

reported it was coming from the seventh

[92:34]

line of defense. Nanziing reacted

[92:36]

instantly to the news. He recognized it.

[92:39]

The Zenos's vacuum portal opened 2 years

[92:42]

earlier than anticipated. Memories of

[92:44]

his father and sister flooded back.

[92:46]

Knowing the front lines would be

[92:47]

overwhelmed, he realized he needed to

[92:49]

find a way to reinforce them fast. He

[92:51]

then summoned 20 million Han Dynasty

[92:53]

warriors, ordering them to advance

[92:55]

toward the seventh line of defense.

[92:57]

Next, he called for 3 million beast

[92:59]

tides to answer his command. Finally, he

[93:01]

turned to Chu Tien, asking if there was

[93:03]

any way to teleport them along with the

[93:05]

beast tides [music] directly to the

[93:07]

front lines. Chuen strained with all her

[93:09]

might to initiate the teleportation.

[93:11]

Blood dripping from her mouth from the

[93:12]

sheer intensity. An unknown force pushed

[93:15]

down on her, causing her to cough up

[93:17]

even more blood. Nanzi Ying gripped her

[93:19]

shoulders, calling her name and alarm.

[93:21]

He warned her they were over a thousand

[93:22]

km from the defense line and that she

[93:24]

shouldn't force herself if she couldn't

[93:26]

manage it. The girl leaned on him for a

[93:27]

brief moment. Chu Tien straightened up,

[93:29]

her eyes blazing with absolute

[93:31]

conviction. I can do this, she declared.

[93:34]

On the battlefield of the seventh

[93:35]

defense line, a dimensional rift tears

[93:37]

open and an urgent alert blar, [music]

[93:39]

ordering all units to prepare for

[93:41]

combat. Commander Wong Lelay immediately

[93:43]

commands the prodigies to spearhead the

[93:45]

assault, demanding everyone hold the

[93:47]

line, even if it costs them their lives.

[93:49]

A soldier grumbles to his comrade, Nan

[93:51]

Shan Shong. Ammo's almost gone. Does it

[93:54]

even make sense to keep fighting like

[93:55]

this? Nan Shan Shong instantly rebukes

[93:58]

him. Look at the prodigies below. He

[94:00]

reminds him of their last near defeat

[94:01]

when the prodigies manifested an army of

[94:04]

10 million undead spirits and snatched

[94:06]

an impossible victory from the jaws of

[94:08]

despair. The soldier admits he doesn't

[94:10]

fear death, but rather the crushing

[94:12]

hopelessness of an endless war. He

[94:14]

points out that even the prodigies are

[94:15]

just flesh and blood. They tire, bleed,

[94:17]

and can die, too. They both watch the

[94:19]

young warriors on the battlefield,

[94:21]

mourning the children lost to this

[94:22]

brutal [music] place. Nan Shen Shong

[94:24]

then firmly places a hand on his

[94:26]

comrade's shoulder. That's precisely why

[94:28]

we give it our all. We'll cover them

[94:30]

with every last bullet, every last

[94:32]

breath, and die for them if we must. The

[94:34]

other soldier, renewed with conviction,

[94:36]

nods sharply. At that very moment, Wong

[94:38]

Llay bellows the order. Attack! One of

[94:41]

the young Chin Army warriors charges

[94:43]

forward, rallying his comrades to paint

[94:45]

the battlefield crimson with enemy

[94:47]

blood. Another prodigy unleashes his

[94:49]

sword domain, striking the ground with a

[94:51]

devastating impact. He then summons a

[94:53]

barrage of piercing blades, raining down

[94:55]

upon the monsters. The ethereal blades

[94:58]

surge forward, annihilating everything

[95:00]

in their path. Mounted on his spirit

[95:01]

beast, one warrior taunts the enemy.

[95:04]

Come on then, rise. Let's fight till the

[95:06]

bitter end. An elder warrior unleashes

[95:08]

his assault, declaring, "The might of

[95:10]

great Chin shall not be defiled."

[95:12]

Immediately after, another prodigy

[95:14]

conjures hell's grip, ins snaring the

[95:16]

foes in metallic vines. Shuingi [music]

[95:18]

spots the adversaries in the distance

[95:20]

and barks, "Troops! Open fire. Artillery

[95:23]

unleashes a relentless volley onto the

[95:25]

designated targets. The assault slams

[95:27]

into the enemy army, triggering a

[95:29]

cataclysmic explosion. Nan Shen Shong

[95:31]

continues to roar fire orders, demanding

[95:33]

the soldiers hold the line against the

[95:35]

relentless new wave of enemies. The

[95:37]

battle rages on the city walls with

[95:39]

hales of projectiles tearing through the

[95:41]

air from every direction. Commander Wong

[95:43]

Llay's gaze snaps up. What kind of Zeno

[95:45]

is that? He wonders, [music] having

[95:47]

never witnessed such a creature. A

[95:48]

gigantic chained monstrosity slams down

[95:51]

onto the battlefield, crushing the

[95:53]

surrounding spirit creatures. One

[95:54]

warrior recoils in shock at the

[95:56]

creature's immense size, as vast as the

[95:58]

city walls themselves. The colossal

[96:00]

beast then unleashes a massive beam

[96:02]

directly from its gaping m. Meanwhile,

[96:05]

another warrior deftly wields his

[96:06]

powers, pulling and ens snaring multiple

[96:08]

monsters simultaneously. The spirit of

[96:10]

Chini Huang commands Baichi to protect

[96:12]

Su Chenge, [music] and Baichi

[96:14]

immediately affirms. Su Chang is thrown

[96:16]

back by the impact, but assures everyone

[96:18]

he's fine, urging them to aid his

[96:20]

majesty instead. Chin Sher Huang then

[96:22]

rallies all soldiers to fight by his

[96:24]

side and bring down the monstrous

[96:26]

creature. The giant monster retaliates

[96:28]

with a massive blow, slamming directly

[96:30]

into the spirit warriors. The impact

[96:32]

strikes them full force, sending ripples

[96:35]

of raw energy across the battlefield.

[96:37]

With that, the spirits merge, forming a

[96:39]

single colossal warrior. Wang Lelay

[96:42]

orders the Esper Corps to contain the

[96:44]

remaining enemy forces while the

[96:45]

infantry pushes forward against the

[96:47]

smaller aliens. From a top the walls,

[96:49]

the soldiers swiftly respond to his

[96:51]

command. Next, [music] the commander

[96:53]

rallies all prodigies to join him in

[96:55]

capturing the enemy leader. 200 km from

[96:58]

the seventh defense line, a colossal

[97:00]

pillar of energy descends from the

[97:02]

heavens. The force slams into the

[97:04]

ground, a massive explosion erupting

[97:06]

amidst the monster army. Nanziing turns

[97:08]

to Chuian asking if she can still go on.

[97:11]

Chuian affirms, "Only 200 km left. My

[97:14]

brother is there." Such Chang requests

[97:16]

that Chin Shuang lead the undead army to

[97:19]

hold back the other aliens, leaving the

[97:21]

giant monster to them. The emperor's

[97:23]

spirit agrees, commanding his spectral

[97:25]

warriors to follow. Su Chang then leaps

[97:27]

into the fray, declaring it's his time

[97:29]

to shine. Wielding his power, he seizes

[97:31]

control of several Zenos, forcing them

[97:33]

to grapple onto the giant monster's head

[97:35]

for a critical 50 seconds. Meanwhile,

[97:38]

one of the prodigies expands his domain,

[97:40]

manifesting a colossal sword. The

[97:42]

massive attack slams into the

[97:44]

battlefield, unleashing pure

[97:45]

devastation. Another warrior unleashes

[97:47]

metallic alloy vines, blocking the Zenos

[97:50]

advance, while a warrior s encircles

[97:52]

them with Banyan's strangling hold.

[97:54]

Next, a warrior lunges forward,

[97:56]

attacking with blazing killin flames.

[97:58]

The inferno engulfs the colossal

[98:00]

creature, making it burn intensely.

[98:02]

Wonglay declares that while the monster

[98:04]

is powerful, it's no match for the

[98:06]

combined might of five espers. The giant

[98:08]

creature is then slammed by a colossal

[98:10]

sword, but it roars, retaliating with

[98:13]

its own monstrous weapon. Wonglay

[98:15]

screams, warning them not to get

[98:16]

distracted, urging them to keep up the

[98:18]

assault. The monster looms over them as

[98:20]

the warriors brace for the next

[98:22]

devastating blow. The creature spins its

[98:24]

weapon, creating a terrifying vortex of

[98:26]

blades. The deadly vortex surges

[98:28]

forward, obliterating everything in its

[98:30]

path. Just then, a helicopter screams

[98:32]

into view. A voice booms over the comms,

[98:35]

telling everyone to get clear,

[98:36]

announcing the creature will be blown to

[98:38]

Kingdom Come. Chu Shinghi looks up,

[98:40]

recognizing the voice instantly. Senior

[98:43]

Nan Shan Xiang. 3 minutes earlier, Nan

[98:46]

Shan had ordered Lao Jang to man the

[98:48]

artillery while he made his move. He'd

[98:50]

explained that this wasn't just any

[98:51]

alien. They needed to be ready with a

[98:53]

mini warhead in case the prodigies

[98:54]

failed. There was no other choice. He'd

[98:56]

stressed if the prodigies fell, humanity

[98:59]

would fall with them. Lao Jang,

[99:00]

grim-faced, had agreed. Back in the

[99:02]

present, Nan Shan Shong pilots the

[99:04]

helicopter, confronting the giant

[99:06]

aberration headon. On the ground, Chu

[99:08]

Shinghi screams desperately for him to

[99:10]

stop. Simultaneously, Wanglay orders

[99:13]

everyone to focus their group control

[99:15]

powers. His sacrifice wouldn't be in

[99:17]

vain. Inside the helicopter, Nan Shan

[99:19]

Shong reflects that the weight of this

[99:20]

war now rests squarely on the shoulders

[99:22]

of the young. He offers a silent

[99:24]

farewell, reaching for the detonation

[99:26]

button. Suddenly, a forbidden wood

[99:28]

element spell is conjured, materializing

[99:30]

a massive wooden dragon. Nanziing

[99:33]

commands the dragon to snatch the

[99:35]

helicopter away. The creature carefully

[99:37]

places the vehicle down, a calm voice

[99:39]

cutting through the chaos. Nan Shen

[99:41]

Shong is stunned within the cockpit.

[99:43]

[music] The instant the helicopter

[99:44]

lands, he recognizes his own son's

[99:46]

voice. The remaining warriors react to

[99:48]

the sudden arrival of their savior.

[99:50]

Nanziing tells Chu Shinghi to look after

[99:52]

Chuchian, then orders him to cut off all

[99:54]

satellite communications. Wong Lelay

[99:56]

immediately questions the order, but

[99:58]

Chuing Hay reassures him. You'll

[100:00]

understand soon enough. Back at the

[100:02]

command center, an officer reports

[100:03]

complete loss of contact with the

[100:05]

seventh line of defense. Dispatching a

[100:07]

recon team immediately, the commander

[100:09]

fears the prodigies are in grave danger.

[100:11]

Convinced the defense line fell far too

[100:13]

quickly, Nanzing moves against the

[100:15]

monster in an almost imperceptible blur,

[100:17]

then unleashes his full power in a

[100:19]

single devastating surge. The warriors

[100:22]

watch, stunned into absolute silence.

[100:24]

His attack collides violently with the

[100:26]

giant monster's weapon. Nanzying reveals

[100:29]

himself, identifying the enemy as a rank

[100:31]

of bloodline xenolade titan. He stares

[100:33]

it down, remarking that it's been far

[100:35]

too long since their last encounter.

[100:37]

Wong Llay wonders if this could be the

[100:39]

mysterious Assura everyone talks about.

[100:41]

His companion quickly dismisses the

[100:43]

idea, pointing out the forbidden magic

[100:45]

he just unleashed. The commander then

[100:46]

questions if it isn't one of those rare

[100:48]

dual class espers, but the other warrior

[100:50]

replies that what they're witnessing is

[100:52]

on a completely different level.

[100:54]

Confused, Wonglay asks for

[100:55]

clarification, then turns his full

[100:57]

attention to the unfolding chaos on the

[100:59]

battlefield. A spirit warrior charges

[101:01]

into the enemy ranks. The raw energy

[101:03]

unleashed by the generals sweeps away

[101:05]

and annihilates the surrounding

[101:07]

monsters. Wong lay reels from the

[101:08]

overwhelming might manifesting before

[101:10]

his eyes. As he watches a single warrior

[101:13]

laying waste to the battlefield alone,

[101:14]

he finally grasps the true meaning of

[101:16]

his companion's words. One of the

[101:18]

generals roars for the Han Dynasty army

[101:20]

to charge alongside him. At the same

[101:22]

time, the spirit of Chin Shir Huang

[101:24]

bellows, rallying the Chin Dynasty army

[101:27]

to fight and not be outmatched. Nanziing

[101:29]

leaps into the air, instructing all

[101:31]

soldiers and prodigies to seize the

[101:33]

chance to fall back and recover. Chu

[101:34]

Singh concurs with the retreat,

[101:36]

affirming he's got this situation

[101:38]

handled. The giant creature retaliates

[101:40]

with a colossal blow. Nanzying braces

[101:42]

for the massive assault. The impact

[101:44]

slams into him full force, sending him

[101:46]

hurtling backward. He announces the

[101:48]

activation of Assura Berserker mode.

[101:51]

Then he charges, unleashing a brutal

[101:53]

barrage of blows against the gargantuan

[101:55]

monster. Assura's dragon and demon

[101:58]

hunting techniques are executed in rapid

[102:00]

succession. Finally, he unleashes Assura

[102:03]

hell on Earth. The Blade Titan seems

[102:05]

obliterated, and one of the warriors

[102:07]

comments that they barely scratched it

[102:08]

before. Yet, he realizes that despite

[102:10]

its power, the creature shouldn't have

[102:12]

been defeated so easily. Parts of the

[102:14]

monster begin regrouping around

[102:15]

Nanziing, and someone shouts that it's

[102:18]

morphing. The creature takes on a

[102:19]

horrifying spherical form covered in

[102:22]

countless eyes. One of the onlookers,

[102:24]

alarmed, questions, "What the hell is

[102:25]

that?" Nanziing calmly states that now

[102:28]

that its final form is revealed, its

[102:30]

weak spot will be far easier to

[102:32]

pinpoint. Suddenly, he spins around as a

[102:34]

gigantic blade cleaves down towards him.

[102:36]

In the distance, Nan Shan Chong screams

[102:38]

a warning to watch out. A swirling

[102:40]

vortex of wind begins to form on the

[102:42]

spot. Nanziing prepares a 50-fold

[102:44]

overloaded forbidden wind spell,

[102:46]

invoking a colossal tornado. The tornado

[102:49]

surges forward, slamming head-on into

[102:51]

the monster's blade. Without a moment's

[102:53]

hesitation, he prepares another 50-fold

[102:55]

overloaded forbidden lightning spell.

[102:57]

Assura's demonic blade materializes

[103:00]

around the creature. With a single

[103:01]

strike, he cleaves the monster in two.

[103:04]

The creature's core makes a desperate

[103:06]

attempt to flee. Nanzying intercepts its

[103:08]

escape, asking, "Where do you think

[103:10]

you're going?" He then prepares yet

[103:11]

another forbidden spell, this time of

[103:14]

the wood element, and executes the

[103:15]

Assura technique once more. Hell on

[103:17]

Earth is unleashed directly onto its

[103:19]

core. The remaining warriors gaze in

[103:21]

utter disbelief as the creature is

[103:23]

completely annihilated. Nan Shan Chong

[103:25]

simply concludes that his son is truly

[103:27]

terrifying. He then commands the spirits

[103:28]

and beasts to advance in a wide circle,

[103:30]

clearing a path so he can deploy

[103:32]

intricate formations. Nanziing begins by

[103:34]

implanting 1 and a half million

[103:36]

elemental sword key formations. These

[103:38]

formations spread out across a 30 km

[103:40]

radius. Soon after, he orders the

[103:42]

[music] tides of beasts to tighten the

[103:44]

encirclement even further. Next, he

[103:46]

implants another one and a half million

[103:48]

formations of earth spikes, ice barges,

[103:51]

and lightning walls. Nanziing then

[103:53]

summons a forbidden earth spell, causing

[103:55]

the ground to violently rupture and

[103:57]

heave. From the primordial chaos between

[103:59]

heaven and earth, he declares, "The

[104:01]

ancients shall rise once more." He

[104:03]

follows by activating an amplification

[104:05]

formation that encompasses 3 million

[104:07]

undead within a 300 km radius. "The

[104:09]

spirit warriors absorb the formation's

[104:12]

immense power. [music] Empowered by this

[104:13]

newfound energy, they surge forward to

[104:16]

unleash the full might of Yan and Huang.

[104:18]

The status screen flashes. Formation

[104:20]

master level five. Nanzi Ying comments,

[104:23]

"Perfect timing." [music] He then

[104:24]

prepares to activate 3 million colossal

[104:26]

beast slaying formations. However, as he

[104:29]

analyzes the situation, he realizes he

[104:32]

doesn't possess enough source stones.

[104:33]

Faced with this, he can't help but

[104:35]

wonder if he had in the end rushed

[104:37]

things a little too much. Nanzying

[104:39]

decides it's best to conserve their

[104:40]

available resources. With that in mind,

[104:42]

he announces a single target

[104:44]

amplification formation designed for the

[104:46]

3 million strong beast tides. The

[104:48]

formation blazes to life in the sky, and

[104:51]

creatures on the battlefield begin to

[104:53]

transform under its incredible power.

[104:55]

With 6 million source stones remaining,

[104:57]

he realizes he has enough to arm

[104:59]

formations all along the city wall.

[105:01]

Nanziing then prepares his ultimate ace

[105:04]

in the hole. He activates an

[105:05]

amplification formation 50 times more

[105:08]

powerful, stretching it 30 km along the

[105:10]

wall. Soldiers positioned there feel the

[105:12]

raw energy surge through them,

[105:14]

exclaiming that their benefactor has

[105:16]

unleashed unbelievably powerful

[105:18]

formations. Watching from afar, Chuingh

[105:21]

remarks that Nanziing left a decisive

[105:23]

trump card for the seventh defense line.

[105:25]

finally understanding who he truly is.

[105:27]

He reflects on the irony of humanity,

[105:30]

hoping for a god to save them, yet

[105:32]

feeling the urge to destroy one when it

[105:34]

finally appears. One of his companions

[105:36]

explains that Nanziing held nothing back

[105:38]

precisely because he trusted them on the

[105:40]

front lines, asking them to leave the

[105:42]

fighting to him. Chuing warns that there

[105:44]

are still 3 hours until dawn and that

[105:46]

time should be used for rest and

[105:48]

recovery. Even without any more source

[105:50]

stones, Nanziing declares he still has

[105:52]

enough strength left. He vows that even

[105:54]

if he must become an Assura, he will

[105:56]

exterminate these aliens. Then he

[105:59]

charges into the enemies in his Assura

[106:01]

Berserker form. Chu Chong Chong watches

[106:03]

the battle, expressing immense pride in

[106:05]

him. Chu Shingi agrees, remembering his

[106:07]

own life being saved, but questions if

[106:09]

calling him a kid isn't a bit much,

[106:11]

considering he's a true prodigy. [music]

[106:13]

His father asks what else he should call

[106:15]

him, then dismisses the question with a

[106:17]

hearty laugh. A voice informs them that

[106:19]

the patient is merely exhausted, her

[106:21]

life not in danger. In the hospital

[106:23]

room, Nan Zeon tells Chu Shinghi not to

[106:26]

worry and to rest, reminding him he's

[106:28]

been awake for two days straight. He

[106:30]

replies that he knows and states he's

[106:32]

glad his brother isn't wasting time and

[106:34]

energy on things like this, for

[106:35]

ultimately it's because they are still

[106:38]

too weak. [music] Nan Zeon starts to

[106:40]

quote a proverb, but cuts herself off,

[106:43]

advising him to do whatever he thinks is

[106:45]

best. She then bids him farewell,

[106:47]

stating she'll take care of the other

[106:48]

wounded, and receives permission to

[106:50]

leave. Before leaving, she declares her

[106:52]

belief that deep down, Nanziing is

[106:54]

grateful to him. Chu Shingh merely

[106:56]

watches her depart, confirming that he

[106:58]

knows. Chuchian finally awakens and

[107:00]

calls out for her brother, who

[107:01]

emotionally celebrates her return to

[107:03]

consciousness. She asks how long she was

[107:05]

unconscious and how the battle is going,

[107:07]

showing concern for his need for source

[107:09]

stones for his abilities. The mention of

[107:11]

source stones leaves Chu Shingh lost in

[107:13]

thought. He then asks his sister to wait

[107:15]

there, promising to return shortly.

[107:17]

Outside, the battle rages on with Nanzi

[107:19]

Ying clashing against the creatures on

[107:21]

the city wall. He comments with a hint

[107:23]

of relief that the wave of enemies is

[107:25]

almost over after fighting all night

[107:27]

long. Then Chuingi appears, announcing

[107:29]

that Tiener is awake and they can leave

[107:31]

now. He praises Nanziing<unk>ing's

[107:33]

arrangements, yet asks him to return to

[107:35]

his own battlefield, for that is where

[107:37]

humanity's future lies. Nanzying

[107:39]

promises to buy as much time as possible

[107:41]

and vows that everyone will stay alive

[107:43]

until they can reunite. Chusing remarks

[107:45]

on how meticulous he is [music] to which

[107:47]

Nanzing calmly replies that he does it

[107:49]

with pleasure if it brings people peace

[107:51]

of mind. Chuing then thanks him as

[107:53]

Nanzing explains that an old soldier

[107:55]

asked him to relay a message. The

[107:57]

message [music] from Chuch Chong Chong

[107:59]

says they'll meet again after the war so

[108:00]

he can cook for the rascal. Chuing Hi

[108:03]

then hands him a small card. Nanziing

[108:05]

looks at the drawing of Nanzan on the

[108:06]

card accompanied by the word respect

[108:09]

[music] and calls her a cheeky girl. The

[108:11]

scene shifts to a building identified as

[108:13]

the slaughter house. A panel inside

[108:15]

displays 60 million source stones still

[108:17]

remaining. Nanzying realizes that

[108:19]

relying solely on formations is too

[108:21]

slow. He needs to tame the next beast

[108:23]

tide. [music] He understands that the

[108:25]

undead spirits on the front line need

[108:26]

replenishment as the sixth defense line

[108:29]

has become useless and the seventh won't

[108:31]

hold out much longer. In a corridor,

[108:32]

[music] two people discuss the seventh

[108:34]

line signal which was lost and then

[108:36]

returned now showing dead aliens

[108:38]

everywhere. One suggests the place might

[108:39]

be haunted, but the other corrects him,

[108:42]

calling it a divine haunting since only

[108:44]

the aliens were affected. One of the

[108:46]

staff comments that on top of that, many

[108:49]

plants in the northwest have mutated.

[108:51]

Even the roadside grass has become lush

[108:53]

and razor sharp. Other workers agree,

[108:55]

claiming they feel as if something has

[108:56]

awakened and they now possess infinite

[108:58]

energy to work. Nanzing concludes that

[109:01]

with every portal opened by the aliens,

[109:03]

Earth's spiritual energy increases,

[109:05]

accelerating the planet's awakening. His

[109:07]

colleagues advise him to take care, but

[109:09]

he reassures them not to worry as he's

[109:11]

heading home for some rest now. Next, he

[109:13]

takes Chuen to Meteor Valley, announcing

[109:16]

it's time to tame a group of level seven

[109:18]

mutant giant eagles. A storm of eagles

[109:20]

erupts in the valley and a soldier warns

[109:22]

of an approaching flock of beasts. The

[109:24]

men are attacked and one orders a

[109:26]

retreat, stating they won't be able to

[109:27]

defend the valley. One of the giant

[109:29]

eagles plunges towards the soldiers. A

[109:31]

man charges forward, unleashing his

[109:33]

grand [music] floodfist against the

[109:34]

creature, but the attack proves useless.

[109:36]

He wonders how a level five esper can't

[109:38]

even scratch it. Trapped in the eagle's

[109:40]

talons, the soldier screams for help,

[109:42]

begging anyone nearby. A comrade barks

[109:45]

at the others, accusing them of

[109:46]

cowardice for abandoning their friend.

[109:48]

The monstrous creature prepares to

[109:49]

strike at the captured man, who can only

[109:51]

wonder what kind of beast this truly is.

[109:54]

Just then, Nanziing and Chuen leap onto

[109:57]

the giant eagle, and Nanziing begins the

[110:00]

process of taming the massive beast. The

[110:02]

steel giant eagle is ordered to guard

[110:04]

the valley, collect source stones, and

[110:05]

most importantly, not attack cities or

[110:08]

humans. A status screen flashes,

[110:10]

displaying Nanzing's beast tamer level

[110:12]

[music] and the experience needed for

[110:14]

the next. He realizes another one of his

[110:16]

skills is finally nearing its maximum.

[110:18]

The soldier recognizes him as the

[110:19]

legendary divine level beast tamer, and

[110:22]

almost forgetting the man's predicament,

[110:24]

Nanziing orders the eagle to release

[110:26]

him. The man is immediately dropped to

[110:28]

the ground, but the eagle in its

[110:29]

infinite wisdom grabs him again and

[110:32]

launches him high into the air. Nanziing

[110:34]

shouts, calling it stupid, demanding to

[110:36]

know where his brother is. Furious, he

[110:38]

smacks the creature on the head,

[110:40]

ordering it to hurry and save the man.

[110:42]

The eagle snatches him out of the air,

[110:44]

and Nanzing asks if his injuries are

[110:46]

severe. The grateful man introduces

[110:47]

himself as Huang Jia, explaining his

[110:50]

companions fled when Nanziing first

[110:51]

questioned why he was alone. Huang Jia

[110:53]

reveals he was sent by the Huang clan

[110:55]

from the inner territories to explore

[110:57]

and claim the spiritual mountains. He

[110:59]

continues explaining that prodigies from

[111:01]

various powerful families are rushing

[111:03]

northwest, all aiming to stake their

[111:05]

claim on these mountains for

[111:06]

cultivation. Nanzing realizes the energy

[111:09]

surge is due to portals and he plans to

[111:11]

use these very mountains to facilitate

[111:13]

the ascension of a million people in the

[111:15]

northwest. He then instructs Hanga to

[111:17]

warn the Huang clan. These mountains are

[111:19]

his and no one else is permitted to

[111:21]

claim them. Nanzi Ying reinforces the

[111:24]

threat. It doesn't matter which clan a

[111:25]

prodigy belongs to. Anyone who disobys

[111:28]

will be ruthlessly killed. With that, he

[111:30]

tosses Hangja down the mountain who

[111:32]

readily agrees to deliver the message. A

[111:34]

sound from the mountains catches his

[111:36]

attention. Could it be Hangja's

[111:38]

companions? He orders the giant eagle to

[111:40]

accompany him and investigate the source

[111:42]

of the noise. As they approach, he spots

[111:45]

a mutated venomous lizard below. Nanzi

[111:48]

Ying grins, deeming the situation

[111:50]

perfect to tame another tide of beasts.

[111:52]

With the Xenos having their behemoths,

[111:54]

he'll now have these venomous lizards to

[111:56]

balance the odds in battle. A status

[111:58]

screen confirms he's tamed 10 million

[112:00]

steel giant eagles and 10 million

[112:03]

mutated venomous lizards. The lizards

[112:05]

are commanded to protect Meteor Valley,

[112:07]

gather sore stones, and await further

[112:09]

instructions, strictly without attacking

[112:11]

cities or humans. Nanziing notes that

[112:13]

everyone else here is dead, dismissing

[112:15]

them as disloyal cowards who wouldn't

[112:17]

have been much help anyway. Next, he

[112:19]

calls Chuen to follow him to the Tang

[112:21]

Dynasty tombs, [music]

[112:22]

and she readily agrees. Nanziing invokes

[112:25]

the emperors and generals of the Tang

[112:26]

Dynasty, an empire that once shook the

[112:28]

world, to rise and together expel their

[112:31]

enemies. The spirit of Liuan, the

[112:33]

founding emperor, answers the call.

[112:35]

Then, Liein of the Jenuan era, followed

[112:38]

by the reigning Empress Wu Zetion,

[112:40]

materialize. With them, he summons the

[112:42]

spirits of warriors who served the

[112:44]

dynasty over the last 300 years,

[112:46]

commanding them to awaken. Nanzi Ying

[112:48]

declares that even though the flying

[112:50]

general of Dragon City is gone, no enemy

[112:52]

will set foot on his land. His

[112:54]

necromancy skill skyrockets to level

[112:56]

six, bringing millions of soldiers from

[112:58]

the Chin Han and Tang dynasties under

[113:00]

his absolute command. He proposes that

[113:02]

the majesties divide their forces across

[113:04]

the three great mountain ranges, and the

[113:07]

spirits readily agree to the strategy.

[113:09]

Nanziing advises them to try dialogue

[113:11]

first if anyone stands in their way, but

[113:13]

stresses they must always be ready for

[113:15]

war. [music] Meanwhile, Hongclan prodigy

[113:18]

Hang Xi Yao scoffs at the idea,

[113:20]

declaring that spiritual mountains

[113:22]

belong to whoever claims them first.

[113:24]

Hanga attempts to warn his young master,

[113:26]

reminding him that Nanziing is a divine

[113:29]

level beast tamer and that retreating

[113:31]

would be the safest option. But Hang

[113:32]

Xiao dismisses the warning with disdain,

[113:35]

proudly announcing himself as a level 10

[113:37]

lightning prodigy who fears [music]

[113:38]

nothing. He then positions himself on

[113:40]

Tang Moda Mountain, the ideal

[113:42]

cultivation spot where the three great

[113:44]

mountain ranges converge. Wong Xiao

[113:46]

boldly declares that other clans have

[113:48]

already recognized his claim, and if

[113:50]

that beast tamer dares show his face,

[113:52]

he'll make sure he never returns.

[113:54]

Suddenly, Nanziing appears, repeating

[113:56]

the challenge. You'll make sure I never

[113:58]

return. Wong Xiao glares, asking if he's

[114:00]

the cowardly beast tamer everyone's been

[114:02]

whispering about. Hongja tries to

[114:04]

explain that he had already delivered

[114:05]

the message earlier. The young master

[114:07]

grabs him, accusing him of dishonoring

[114:09]

the Huang clan and orders him to get out

[114:11]

of his sight. Nanzing then comments

[114:13]

dryly that Hangja clearly has more

[114:15]

brains than his master. Finally, he

[114:17]

questions Huang Xiao one last time,

[114:20]

asking if he truly intends to ignore the

[114:22]

greater good for selfish gain by

[114:24]

claiming this mountain. Huang Xiao

[114:26]

boasts, declaring he's no ordinary

[114:28]

prodigy, but someone who's already

[114:29]

reached the half-s sovereign king realm.

[114:31]

He then offers Nanzing a chance to

[114:33]

survive, but only if he retreats

[114:34]

immediately. Xiao claims every beast on

[114:37]

this mountain has either bowed before

[114:38]

him or fled with their tails tucked

[114:40]

between their legs. Nanziing warns him,

[114:43]

"Keep being stubborn and don't blame me

[114:45]

for what happens next." Sensing the

[114:47]

power emanating from Nanziing, Hang Xao

[114:49]

is stunned, questioning how a mere beast

[114:52]

tamer could wield lightning. Nanziing

[114:54]

simply declares the conversation has

[114:55]

gone on too long and unleashes his

[114:57]

lightning blade. "Young master, watch

[114:59]

out!" Huang Ja screams. However, Hang

[115:02]

Xiao yanks him forward, using his own

[115:04]

loyal servant as a human shield to block

[115:06]

the attack. Nanziing glares, questioning

[115:08]

in a cold voice what kind of despicable

[115:10]

prodigy he is, worse than any animal.

[115:13]

Wang Xiao merely scoffs, declaring that

[115:15]

servants are nothing but pawns,

[115:17]

sacrifices meant to shield him. Enraged

[115:19]

by such callousness, Nanziing decides to

[115:22]

show him what true lightning looks like.

[115:24]

Beginning to prepare a celestial strike,

[115:26]

[music] the prodigy provokes him, asking

[115:28]

if he's scared and about to beg for his

[115:30]

life. Warning that it's already too

[115:31]

late. Nanziing retorts that he won't

[115:33]

even use his blade so as not to be

[115:35]

accused of bullying, but promises to

[115:37]

teach that arrogant scum a harsh lesson.

[115:39]

He swears to make Xiao taste his own

[115:41]

venom. Huang Xiao boldly proclaims

[115:43]

himself the embodiment of lightning,

[115:46]

claiming his opponent's tricks mean

[115:47]

nothing to him. Though a flicker of

[115:49]

doubt betrays his voice, in that

[115:51]

instant, Nanziing prepares a forbidden

[115:53]

lightning element spell and activates it

[115:55]

at maximum potency. Hango is utterly

[115:57]

shocked, realizing he's facing forbidden

[116:00]

magic. The attack strikes him headon,

[116:02]

and he screams, "That's impossible."

[116:04]

Nanzing warns him that now he'll learn

[116:06]

what it means to be on the receiving

[116:07]

end. He then slams Xiao to the ground,

[116:09]

asserting that Hang Xiao is nothing

[116:11]

compared to his level two power.

[116:13]

Suddenly, a new voice announces itself

[116:15]

as Huang Jutian, the patriarch of the

[116:18]

Hang family. The patriarch demands to

[116:20]

know who dares cause trouble on his

[116:22]

mountains, while Nanzing internally

[116:24]

wonders if the Hang family truly wishes

[116:26]

to be exterminated. As more clan members

[116:28]

arrive, Wongjudian reprimands his

[116:30]

prodigy, saying the situation should

[116:32]

have been a blessing. One of the men

[116:33]

questions why their young master was

[116:35]

harmed. However, the patriarch wisely

[116:37]

deduces that his own son must have

[116:39]

claimed the mountain first and refused

[116:41]

to yield. He states that the Hang family

[116:43]

has always been reasonable and allows

[116:45]

Nanzi to speak first, reserving the

[116:47]

right to kill him if he's in the wrong.

[116:49]

Nanzi commends the patriarch's stance

[116:51]

and agrees to explain everything

[116:52]

clearly. He then reveals himself as one

[116:55]

of the five god tier prodigies of the

[116:56]

Northwest, the forbidden spellcaster.

[116:59]

The onlookers immediately recognize him

[117:01]

from the news about the prodigies who

[117:03]

eradicated the xeno assassins. Nanzi

[117:05]

Ying explains that to ensure humanity's

[117:07]

survival, all spiritual mountains must

[117:10]

be surrendered to the grand plan, and

[117:12]

the prodigy had already been duly

[117:13]

warned. The patriarch agrees, admitting

[117:16]

that Xiao was indeed in the wrong.

[117:18]

However, Ziao's father erupts in fury,

[117:20]

accusing the patriarch of cowardice and

[117:23]

swearing to avenge his son, even if it

[117:25]

costs him his own life. The patriarch

[117:27]

severely reprimands him for such

[117:29]

insolence. He then attacks, blaming the

[117:32]

man for spoiling Xiao and for all the

[117:34]

reckless actions that led to this

[117:36]

outcome. As some try to protest, the

[117:37]

patriarch silences them, questioning if

[117:40]

they truly comprehend what's at stake

[117:41]

for humanity, and reminding everyone of

[117:43]

their true purpose. He quickly

[117:45]

apologizes to Nanzi Ying, affirming that

[117:47]

his family made a mistake and will

[117:49]

retreat, an act of righteousness that

[117:51]

earns him praise. The patriarch then

[117:53]

orders the man to be tied up and taken

[117:55]

for punishment, while Nanziing promises

[117:57]

to strengthen the Huang family when they

[117:59]

join the battle. On Dragon Mountain,

[118:01]

spirits announce that the five prodigies

[118:03]

have decreed the mountain cannot be

[118:05]

privately claimed. On Hua Mountain, the

[118:07]

warning is direct. Those who ignore the

[118:09]

greater good and refuse to listen will

[118:11]

be mercilessly slain. Meanwhile, on Kun

[118:13]

Mountain, spirits observe an ancient

[118:15]

monument, commenting that their

[118:16]

descendants prove wise and just. At the

[118:19]

peak of Tang Moda Mountain, Nanzi Ying

[118:21]

declares, "It's time to begin." He then

[118:23]

activates the level six undead spirit

[118:25]

resonance. Energy spreads rapidly as

[118:28]

verses about the emperor's wind and

[118:29]

victory echo through the mountains. The

[118:31]

song continues, narrating the passage of

[118:33]

the mighty Chin and the purification of

[118:36]

the Yellow River. Soon after, the power

[118:38]

of heaven sweeps through Jade Gate Pass

[118:40]

as the spirits maintain their

[118:42]

uninterrupted chant. The emperor's wind

[118:44]

blows across the four seas. And for a

[118:46]

thousand years of virtue, the waters

[118:48]

flow brightly, reaching even a distant

[118:50]

hospital. In a hospital bed, a man

[118:52]

wonders where this triumphant march of

[118:54]

Wang Chin comes from, feeling a sudden

[118:56]

surge of power coarse through his body.

[118:58]

At the rear defense line, a soldier

[119:00]

questions if he's awakened some kind of

[119:02]

superpower, while another effortlessly

[119:04]

carries steel beams as if they were

[119:06]

toys. In another room, a group of people

[119:08]

confirm that it's real, and they've all

[119:10]

awakened new abilities. One man feels

[119:12]

strong enough to lift an alloy blade and

[119:14]

hunt mutant birds, while his companion

[119:16]

confirms he's also become more powerful.

[119:18]

Even an older gentleman lifts a pile of

[119:20]

rocks and proudly declares that he's

[119:21]

finally become a little useful. A man is

[119:23]

celebrating wildly in the streets,

[119:25]

hailing the news of 8 million awakenings

[119:28]

as a divine blessing. Everyone has the

[119:30]

power to join the fifth line of defense.

[119:32]

Another citizen chimes in, noting that

[119:34]

even without enlisting, overall

[119:36]

productivity will skyrocket. Meanwhile,

[119:38]

the news flashes a grim warning about

[119:40]

dangerous mutations spreading through

[119:42]

the primeval woods. Chuen turns to

[119:44]

Nanziing, asking if he orchestrated this

[119:47]

mutation. Nanziing denies it, explaining

[119:50]

that the cause lies with the Zenos's

[119:52]

dimensional rifts, stressing the urgent

[119:54]

need for action. With that, Nanziing

[119:57]

decides to personally investigate the

[119:58]

massive changes in the primeval woods.

[120:00]

Chutian readily agrees, already

[120:02]

preparing for their teleportation. Upon

[120:04]

arrival, they discover the trees haven't

[120:06]

just mutated, they're moving, marching

[120:08]

menacingly towards the city. A wood

[120:10]

elementalist named Lee Lee, refusing to

[120:13]

retreat before understanding the trees

[120:14]

combat strength and tactics, prepares to

[120:17]

strike. He unleashes a volley of vines

[120:19]

to ensnare the creature's roots. But his

[120:21]

attack proves utterly useless against

[120:23]

one of the gigantic trees. Realizing the

[120:25]

futility, he understands he can't

[120:27]

control these new life forms. The

[120:28]

creatures reveal not only their own

[120:30]

consciousness, but also coordination,

[120:32]

moving to encircle the group. Leeli

[120:34]

screams for everyone to prepare for the

[120:36]

imminent assault and unleash their full

[120:38]

power. He then dubs the enemy the forest

[120:40]

legion and orders them to advance. The

[120:43]

group's attack proves useless. One man

[120:45]

realizes these trees are level seven or

[120:47]

eight, impossible to stop with their

[120:49]

current resources. Still, Leeli insists

[120:52]

they must at least send word back. On

[120:54]

the verge of being crushed, one man

[120:56]

wonders if this is truly the end. Just

[120:58]

then, Lei and his companions notice the

[121:00]

trees aren't attacking them. Confused,

[121:02]

he watches as one of the creatures

[121:04]

actually bows before them. Nanzying then

[121:06]

commands the Ironwood behemoths to

[121:08]

defend the woods, and the creatures

[121:10]

immediately obey. With this, his beast

[121:12]

tammer skill hits level 10, totaling a

[121:15]

100 million tamed beasts. He unlocks a

[121:17]

new ability called Aura of the King,

[121:19]

capable of subjugating beasts with the

[121:21]

very aura of the beast god. The

[121:23]

ancestral awakening ability is also

[121:25]

unleashed, allowing him to summon the

[121:27]

progenitor of a beast tide. On top of

[121:29]

that, he gains access to the forbidden

[121:31]

spell, storm of life, which manifests

[121:34]

from the convergence of both land and

[121:36]

sea beast tides. With his abilities

[121:38]

nearing their peak, Nanziing plans to

[121:40]

tame marine beasts and finalize the

[121:42]

formations for the fifth line of

[121:44]

defense. Just then, Chuin rushes over,

[121:47]

terrified to see him collapse to the

[121:48]

ground. She quickly catches him and

[121:50]

teleports them both back to the

[121:51]

slaughterhouse dormatory. Nanzying

[121:54]

awakens disoriented in his room as Chu

[121:56]

Tian explains he'd lost consciousness

[121:58]

back in the primeval woods. Irritated,

[122:00]

he grumbles about being unconscious for

[122:02]

an entire day. She calms him, reminding

[122:05]

him he'd barely slept with everything

[122:06]

he'd been doing. Chutian emphasizes that

[122:08]

no matter how strong he is, he's still

[122:10]

human. Nanziing silently agrees,

[122:13]

reflecting that humanity in the end is

[122:15]

still too weak. She asks if he ever gets

[122:17]

tired of carrying the world's weight,

[122:19]

feeling useless for not being able to

[122:20]

help him. Nanzing apologizes for

[122:23]

worrying her and reassures her,

[122:24]

explaining he's not alone. Millions of

[122:26]

people stand by his side. He then

[122:28]

asserts that she's helped him more than

[122:30]

she realizes, and he never would have

[122:31]

gotten this far without her support.

[122:33]

Chuen decides to stop worrying and

[122:34]

offers to take him to the fifth line of

[122:36]

defense. At the defensive line, 10

[122:38]

million flame and elemental sword

[122:40]

formations stretch for 200 km. She asks

[122:43]

if all the source stones she teleported

[122:45]

from previous locations will be enough.

[122:47]

Nanzying confirms the quantity is more

[122:49]

than enough to fortify the entire

[122:51]

defense line. Then he activates millions

[122:53]

of ice and lightning bombardment

[122:54]

formations, each covering an additional

[122:57]

300 km. The lightning formations spread

[123:00]

across the snow covered mountains. A

[123:02]

status screen reveals his formation

[123:03]

master skill has reached level seven,

[123:06]

unlocking powerful new techniques. Nanzi

[123:08]

Ying declares the wall of formations

[123:10]

complete, stating he'll save the

[123:12]

remaining source stones for when the

[123:13]

defense line eventually falters. A

[123:15]

breaking news report announces the

[123:17]

completion of a massive canal project in

[123:19]

the Northwest, sparking public outrage

[123:21]

over the huge expenditure of resources

[123:24]

in the city. As the Jiao family reacts

[123:26]

with incredul, Sun Lee publicly accuses

[123:28]

the Northwest of corruption and vows to

[123:31]

dismantle their three grand projects.

[123:33]

Brother Jiao then suggests broadcasting

[123:35]

everything live so the nation can

[123:37]

witness what he calls an act of justice.

[123:39]

The others readily agree. Another report

[123:42]

reveals that prodigies from the

[123:43]

interior, already at the peak sovereign

[123:45]

king level, have finally stepped forward

[123:47]

to question the Northwest projects.

[123:49]

Nanzying declares the time has come to

[123:51]

unleash a forbidden spell and create the

[123:53]

most terrifying extermination field

[123:55]

humanity has ever witnessed. He then

[123:57]

prepares to conjure a level five

[123:59]

forbidden water element spell. The

[124:01]

attack is named the water dragon

[124:03]

assault. The technique is then activated

[124:05]

over the ocean. Slowly, the water shapes

[124:07]

itself, forming an immense dragon that

[124:09]

rises before them. Nanzying commands his

[124:12]

water dragon forward. But he's not one

[124:14]

to back down. Activating Assura mode, he

[124:16]

rockets straight at the beast. [music]

[124:18]

Just barely defending against the

[124:19]

imminent strike, the young master

[124:21]

retaliates with a forbidden water spell,

[124:23]

splitting the colossal wave in two.

[124:25]

Realizing the technique nearly breached

[124:27]

his defenses, he decides to go all out,

[124:29]

merging his power with the Grand Canal

[124:31]

itself. He unleashes a level five

[124:33]

forbidden water spell, now with 500

[124:36]

times its original might. A system

[124:38]

window flashes into existence, [music]

[124:40]

detailing his elemental forbidden

[124:41]

spell-caster ability. Meanwhile, two men

[124:44]

gaze upon this absurd display of power.

[124:46]

One declares the Grand Canal live stream

[124:48]

has begun. Brother Jiao wastes no time

[124:50]

firing up the broadcast and dramatically

[124:52]

announcing it's time to give the people

[124:54]

what they crave. He informs Chen Bing

[124:57]

and brother Son that he's taking point

[124:58]

on the channel, but Chen Bing quickly

[125:00]

volunteers for the first project until

[125:02]

Nanzing abruptly interrupts them. The

[125:04]

newcomer unleashes a scorching fire

[125:06]

attack, vaporizing the water and

[125:08]

catching Brother Sun completely offguard

[125:11]

without a moment's hesitation. Nanzi

[125:13]

prepares two more devastating strikes,

[125:16]

aiming to reverse the currents and flood

[125:18]

the entire mountain. Across the live

[125:20]

stream, viewers are in awe, exclaiming

[125:22]

how utterly epic the power of these

[125:24]

sovereign king level prodigies truly is.

[125:26]

Back at Fangmo Mountain, two individuals

[125:28]

sense the energy of the undead spirits

[125:30]

growing ever more intense. Chuten

[125:32]

wonders if the awakening city dwellers

[125:34]

will also grow stronger, and the answer

[125:36]

is a resounding yes. She then points to

[125:38]

the sky, asking about four shooting

[125:40]

stars that just made an impossible turn

[125:42]

in the air. Feeling that familiar

[125:44]

chilling aura, Nanziing instantly

[125:46]

recognizes the presence of a rank A

[125:48]

Zeno. Have they sent more assassins? He

[125:51]

wonders aloud. Simultaneously, he

[125:53]

notices the canal's water spells

[125:55]

starting to spiral out of control. Have

[125:57]

those aliens discovered his plan?

[125:59]

Concluding there's no point in hiding

[126:01]

anymore, he activates the canal's

[126:03]

forbidden spell to supercharge his water

[126:05]

dragon's attack. At the Grand Canal,

[126:07]

Brother Jiao is still scoffing at their

[126:09]

mission, calling it mere child's play.

[126:11]

But suddenly, he notices something very

[126:13]

strange happening. The water itself is

[126:15]

starting to twist and churn. Terrified,

[126:18]

he stammers. What in the world is

[126:19]

emerging from the surface? Before anyone

[126:21]

can react, a multitude of water dragons

[126:24]

burst forth simultaneously, sending

[126:26]

someone screaming for everyone to run.

[126:28]

The live stream screen is completely

[126:30]

engulfed by water, leaving the

[126:31]

bewildered viewers utterly confused by

[126:33]

what just unfolded. In utter shock,

[126:36]

Brother Jiao slowly raises his gaze. A

[126:38]

colossal shadowy figure looms from the

[126:40]

depths while one of his companions

[126:42]

frantically begs for help. Brother's

[126:44]

son, collapsed on the ground, stares up

[126:46]

at brother Jiao and whispers, "Are you

[126:48]

one of them? An alien?" Raising a hand,

[126:51]

Nanzying commands them all to halt. He

[126:53]

demands to know who they are and why

[126:55]

they're causing such devastation, but

[126:56]

brother Jao just starts to introduce

[126:58]

himself. Impatient, Nanzian cuts him

[127:00]

off, dismissing them as ignorant fools.

[127:03]

Finally, brother son speaks up,

[127:05]

explaining that seeing him there, they

[127:07]

finally grasp the full situation. The

[127:09]

young master realizes these are indeed

[127:11]

prodigies and that the aliens are

[127:12]

hunting their clans. He barks in order,

[127:15]

"Take me to them now." The three men are

[127:17]

utterly bewildered by the sudden demand.

[127:19]

Seeing their hesitation, he snaps,

[127:20]

"Hurry, if you delay, your clans will be

[127:23]

exterminated." The mere mention of that

[127:25]

word exterminated, sends a chilling wave

[127:28]

of shock through the trio. That night, a

[127:30]

colossal explosion tears through the sky

[127:32]

above Skyrest Mountain, illuminating the

[127:35]

entire landscape in a terrifying glow.

[127:37]

Brother Jiao finds his home engulfed in

[127:39]

flames, plummeting into despair as he

[127:42]

realizes his entire family has been

[127:44]

massacred. Nanziing arrives moments

[127:46]

later, confirming it was the work of a

[127:48]

rank A Zeno. Without mincing words, he

[127:50]

declares, "There's no time for mourning.

[127:52]

If you want revenge," he states, "follow

[127:54]

me to the Chien family estate." However,

[127:56]

another explosion already rips through

[127:58]

the Chien family's compound, forcing him

[128:00]

to immediately change course towards the

[128:02]

Sun family. At Jade Pass Mountain, a

[128:04]

horrifying Zeno assaults the Sun family

[128:06]

estate with a powerful energy blast.

[128:08]

Fueled by pure fury, brother Son slams

[128:11]

into the creature, screaming that it

[128:13]

will pay for exterminating his family.

[128:14]

The Sunclan leader, wreathed in roaring

[128:17]

flames, announces he's dragging this

[128:19]

alien straight to hell with him through

[128:21]

a devastating self-detonation. He hurls

[128:23]

himself at the Zeno amidst a colossal

[128:25]

explosion as someone cries out for their

[128:28]

leader. On the ground, the remaining

[128:29]

group curses the alien, swearing it

[128:31]

won't escape unpunished. Yet, the

[128:33]

creature simply hovers in the air,

[128:34]

mocking them. Humans are small, weak,

[128:37]

and [music] utterly impotent. Nothing

[128:38]

more than walking corpses. Faced with

[128:41]

this arrogance, Nanziing steps forward,

[128:43]

unshathing his sword. He declares,

[128:45]

"Today you'll learn exactly what humans

[128:47]

are truly capable of." Nanziing

[128:50]

unleashes an army slaying slash followed

[128:52]

by a landslitting mountain and then an

[128:54]

annihilation fire. The Zeno takes a

[128:56]

direct hit, shedding a few feathers from

[128:58]

the impact. The overwhelming force of

[129:00]

the attack sends the creature hurtling

[129:01]

backward. He barks at the three injured

[129:03]

men to back off and simply watch, giving

[129:06]

the enemy no room to react. Nanziing

[129:08]

follows up with an Assura's freef fall

[129:10]

massacre, striking them headon. He

[129:13]

maintains the pressure, unleashing the

[129:14]

Assura Berserker technique. The young

[129:16]

man charges forward without hesitation,

[129:19]

delivering a relentless flurry of blows.

[129:21]

Witnessing this, the three men realize

[129:23]

they might still have a shot at revenge,

[129:25]

recognizing him as the Assura of the

[129:26]

Northwest. Under pressure, the Zeno

[129:29]

begins charging a fiery counterattack.

[129:31]

However, just as it's about to unleash

[129:33]

the attack, someone teleports right

[129:35]

beside the creature. Chuen appears

[129:36]

behind the foe, striking it and

[129:38]

instantly earning a compliment for a job

[129:40]

well done. Seizing the opening, Nanzying

[129:43]

charges in with the Assura demon hunter

[129:45]

technique. Surprised, the Zeno admits

[129:47]

the guy isn't half bad. Then it declares

[129:49]

him worthy not of death, but of slavery.

[129:52]

Hearing this, Nanzing scoffs, vowing to

[129:54]

make it swallow those words. Without

[129:56]

wasting a second, he unleashes the

[129:58]

Assura dragon slayer technique. A dragon

[130:01]

charges the Zeno as the young man dares

[130:02]

it to try healing after being torn to

[130:04]

shreds. The creature transforms,

[130:06]

blocking the attack and calls humans

[130:08]

ignorant and arrogant. Then the Zeno

[130:11]

simply orders him to die. Refusing to

[130:13]

back down, Nanzying charges again,

[130:15]

counterattacking with the Assura hell on

[130:17]

Earth technique. A devastating slash is

[130:19]

unleashed, but the enemy claims it's all

[130:21]

useless as long as its spark still

[130:23]

exists. In response, the young man

[130:25]

conjures a freezing formation with

[130:27]

50,000 times more power. Ignoring the

[130:30]

spark, he completely freezes the

[130:31]

creature solid. The other men watch, a

[130:33]

ghast, realizing the blazing sky eagle

[130:36]

has been frozen and that the Asura is

[130:38]

also a master of formations. Next,

[130:41]

Nanziing activates a 10 times stronger

[130:43]

singlet target amplification. Energy

[130:45]

streams from his eyes directly into the

[130:47]

trios. Hovering in the air, he explains

[130:49]

that the ice will only hold the creature

[130:51]

for a limited time. Then, he urges the

[130:54]

three to seize this chance and take

[130:56]

their revenge with their own hands.

[130:57]

Furthermore, he instructs them to head

[130:59]

to the fifth defensive line and prepare

[131:01]

for war after their vengeance. Finally,

[131:04]

he warns them that an even greater enemy

[131:06]

of humanity awaits them there. Soon

[131:08]

after, a news report announces that four

[131:10]

class A Xeno assassins have been cited

[131:13]

and that the Xiao, Chien, Sunen, and

[131:15]

Wong clans have been wiped out. People

[131:17]

buzz about the aliens brutal attack on

[131:19]

the most promising young talents,

[131:21]

placing their hopes in the Northwest's

[131:23]

prodigies. [music] Meanwhile, Nanziing

[131:25]

tells Chuen they'll gather source stones

[131:27]

and head for the east sea to tame beasts

[131:29]

and eliminate [music] the assassins.

[131:31]

Facing the sea, the young man begins to

[131:33]

chant, invoking the sun, moon, and

[131:35]

starry heavens. He then commands the

[131:37]

mighty sea beasts to submit to his

[131:39]

decree and serve him. Above the

[131:41]

turbulent ocean waters, a colossal

[131:43]

symbol begins to form. Moments later, a

[131:45]

system notification announces that

[131:47]

millions of mutant swordfish, tiger

[131:49]

sharks, and great white sharks have been

[131:51]

tamed. Answering the call, gigantic

[131:54]

marine beasts emerge from the depths.

[131:56]

With a sky shattering roar, Nanzying

[131:58]

summons the wetstones of these

[132:00]

creatures. From the seabed, an immense

[132:02]

sharp object rises, creating a powerful

[132:05]

whirlpool. The colossal horn-shaped

[132:07]

structure fully emerges from the waters.

[132:10]

Seeing this, he admits even he wouldn't

[132:12]

escape easily. But Chuchian remarks that

[132:14]

the real question is whether the

[132:16]

assassins will show up. In the distance,

[132:18]

Lan Chong Kong, prodigy of the East Seas

[132:20]

Land family, spots the frenzied marine

[132:23]

beasts. Without hesitation, he orders

[132:25]

his entire clan to prepare for battle

[132:27]

while he presses on ahead to

[132:28]

investigate. He then dashes across the

[132:30]

waters using his water control

[132:32]

technique, Dragons March. Firmly, he

[132:35]

declares that his family has guarded the

[132:37]

sea for generations and won't allow the

[132:39]

marine beasts to cause [music]

[132:40]

destruction. However, he soon realizes

[132:42]

what's truly happening beneath the

[132:44]

surface. In no time, he discovers he's

[132:46]

surrounded by an army of diverse marine

[132:48]

beast species. At this, Chuian asks if

[132:51]

Nanzying forgot to order them not to

[132:52]

attack humans. As the command is

[132:54]

adjusted to target only invaders, Lanch

[132:56]

Chong Kong senses the change, wondering

[132:59]

if this is the Prodigy of the Northwest.

[133:01]

He then looks up and sees three shadowy

[133:03]

figures appearing in the sky. Finally,

[133:05]

the creatures introduce themselves as

[133:06]

the sea masters, offering him only two

[133:08]

choices, slavery or death. Lan Chong

[133:11]

Kong wonders if assassins are after him,

[133:13]

mistaking him for the legendary beast

[133:15]

tamer. A gigantic sea creature charges

[133:18]

directly at him, but he defiantly

[133:19]

challenges his enemies, deeming it an

[133:21]

honor to fight those who dare face a

[133:23]

divine level tamer. Orca's surge towards

[133:25]

a sea serpent, and realizing the beast

[133:27]

tides are attacking first. He starts to

[133:29]

question if the true tamer is commanding

[133:31]

everything from afar. Meanwhile, Nanzing

[133:34]

commands the swordfish to attack the

[133:35]

cyclops demonic turtle while tiger

[133:37]

sharks take on the thorny serpent.

[133:39]

Simultaneously, great white sharks are

[133:41]

ordered to tear apart the glacial

[133:43]

dragon. Surrounded by the great whites,

[133:45]

the glacial dragon sneers, calling them

[133:47]

mere insects and retaliates with a

[133:49]

chilling freezing breath. The attack is

[133:51]

so indiscriminate that both the thorny

[133:53]

serpent and the surrounding sharks are

[133:55]

completely frozen solid. Even then, the

[133:57]

resilient Thorny Serpent quickly

[133:59]

recovers, still managing to insult its

[134:01]

opponents, sneering insects. Immediately

[134:04]

after, it unleashes a barrage of

[134:06]

gigantic stingers. Across the chaotic

[134:08]

battlefield, the Cyclops turtle deems

[134:10]

the swordfish's attacks feudal. Without

[134:12]

delay, unleashes its devastating

[134:14]

collapse attack. Observing the chaos,

[134:16]

Nanzying remarks to Chuen that their sea

[134:19]

beasts can easily handle any enemy below

[134:22]

rank A. However, she adds that against a

[134:24]

rank A opponent, they're still not

[134:25]

enough. With that, the duo creates 50

[134:28]

amplification formations, stretching

[134:30]

them over 700 nautical miles. From a

[134:32]

distance, Lan Chong Kong notices the

[134:34]

immense energy spreading and wonders

[134:36]

what it could be. Meanwhile, the three

[134:38]

shadowy creatures slice through the sea

[134:40]

of beasts, heading straight for him.

[134:42]

Preparing for the impending clash, he

[134:45]

vows to fight until his last breath. One

[134:47]

of the creatures taunts him, challenging

[134:49]

him to freeze it before it reaches him.

[134:51]

In response, the glacial dragon attacks

[134:53]

Lanch Kong's water dragon. The impact

[134:55]

makes it clear the enemy's power is so

[134:57]

immense [music] that not even his water

[134:59]

dragon can contain it. Blasted back by

[135:01]

the force of the blow, he begins to

[135:03]

fall. The creature closing in as he

[135:05]

loses his footing. Suddenly, an

[135:06]

enchantment circle flares to life on the

[135:08]

water's surface. The shadowy serpent is

[135:10]

swarmed by sharks erupting from the sea.

[135:13]

And moments later, one latches onto the

[135:15]

glacial dragon's neck. Energy [music]

[135:16]

surges towards Lan Chong Kong as he

[135:18]

finds himself surrounded by the sharks.

[135:20]

Recognizing the amplification formation,

[135:23]

he instantly prepares his water control

[135:25]

technique, then unleashes the endless

[135:27]

ocean technique. The glacial dragon

[135:29]

takes a direct hit, utterly baffled by

[135:31]

what's unfolding, and disintegrates, its

[135:34]

dying breath still a sneer. Insects.

[135:36]

Shortly after, the thorny serpent and

[135:38]

the cyclops demonic turtle are also

[135:40]

neutralized. Satisfied, Nanzing remarks

[135:42]

that their battle strength has now

[135:44]

reached optimal levels with Chuen

[135:46]

concurring that not even a rank s alien

[135:48]

would survive this. He then asks her to

[135:50]

bring Lan Chong Kong, and her reply

[135:52]

comes with a knowing tone, stating she

[135:54]

already understands his intentions. From

[135:56]

a distance, Lan Chong Kong profusely

[135:59]

thanks his saviors for sparing his life.

[136:01]

Finally, he asks them to reveal

[136:02]

themselves so he can thank them in

[136:04]

person. Chu Tian appears before him,

[136:06]

leaving Lan Chong Kong utterly shocked

[136:08]

to discover that one of the legendary

[136:10]

masters is just a child. The small girl

[136:13]

gazes at him with a slight smile. As

[136:15]

he's dragged along, the man asks who she

[136:17]

is. Just then, Nanzing appears, telling

[136:19]

him not to ask questions, but to listen

[136:21]

carefully. She then asks Lan Chong Kong

[136:23]

if he could shoulder the immense

[136:25]

responsibility of using the EC as bait

[136:27]

to draw out the alien assassins. Without

[136:30]

hesitation, the man kneels, declaring

[136:32]

that for the sake of the world, he would

[136:34]

willingly lay down his life if needed.

[136:36]

At this, Chuten grants him the power of

[136:38]

an internal amplification formation.

[136:40]

Immediately after, she places him in

[136:42]

command of 100 million sea beasts,

[136:44]

ordering him to annihilate any alien

[136:46]

that dares to appear. Suddenly, a vacuum

[136:49]

gate rips open in the sky, and Chuen

[136:51]

warns that the seventh line of defense

[136:53]

might not hold. Overcome with despair,

[136:55]

she thinks of her brother and all the

[136:56]

others. Countless alien horrors burst

[136:59]

forth from a sky ripping portal. An

[137:00]

officer screams a warning. The enemy's

[137:02]

main force is here. He orders the

[137:04]

seventh line to fall back while the

[137:06]

sixth attempts to buy precious time. Chu

[137:08]

Shinghi seizes command, overriding all

[137:10]

previous orders. All units full retreat.

[137:12]

Their only stand, their last hope is the

[137:15]

fifth line of defense. Huang Xiao steps

[137:17]

forward, offering to hold the line with

[137:19]

an amplification formation, creating a

[137:21]

window for Commander Wang to lead the

[137:23]

retreat. The formation activates, a

[137:25]

shimmering barrier rising to stall the

[137:27]

creature's relentless advance. An elder

[137:30]

barks orders at the youngsters. The

[137:31]

fifth line needs you. We veterans will

[137:33]

hold the rear. One man tries to convince

[137:36]

another to accept the elers's noble

[137:37]

sacrifice, reminding him to look at the

[137:39]

bigger picture. The elders brace for

[137:41]

their final stand, invoking their beast

[137:43]

spirits to unleash havoc upon the

[137:45]

invaders. The young man bows, a silent

[137:48]

farewell to his ancestors and [music]

[137:50]

the surging beast spirits. News channels

[137:52]

blare. The seventh line has fallen. The

[137:55]

fifth line braces for the inevitable

[137:57]

impact. The people of the northwest

[137:58]

unite, declaring they will defend the

[138:00]

fifth line with their very lives.

[138:02]

Everyone prepares for battle, believing

[138:04]

brave spirits were sent by the heavens

[138:06]

for this very moment. Meanwhile, Nanzing

[138:08]

puts the finishing touches on the

[138:10]

blazing sky stone project, perfecting

[138:12]

his intricate grand design. Immediately

[138:14]

afterward, he begins fully absorbing the

[138:16]

immense power sealed within the source

[138:18]

stones. A colossal surge of energy

[138:21]

erupts, engulfing him completely,

[138:23]

crackling with raw power. The system

[138:25]

flashes, source stone reserves, a

[138:28]

staggering 10 trillion. In a parallel

[138:30]

sequence, he initiates the steel forest

[138:32]

project, activating a forbidden gold

[138:34]

element spell. Next, Nanzying tempers

[138:36]

the molten steel with water, imbuing it

[138:38]

with a 100,000 forbidden steel element

[138:40]

spells. Then, the group moves to a

[138:42]

volcanic landscape, commencing the

[138:44]

volcano's heart project. With a raised

[138:46]

hand, he commands ancient lava dragons

[138:48]

to awaken and incinerate everything,

[138:51]

implanting another 100,000 forbidden

[138:53]

lava spells. Soon after, massive lava

[138:56]

dragons materialize in the skies before

[138:58]

them. A system window pops up detailing

[139:00]

the max level forbidden spell, Star

[139:02]

Origin, the infinite annihilator. As

[139:05]

they watch the heavens, one of them

[139:06]

comments that the technique's power

[139:08]

might be too much for even Earth to

[139:10]

bear. Nanzying resolves to unleash it

[139:12]

only at the most critical moment. He

[139:14]

declares only beast taming, spirits, and

[139:17]

formations remain. Chuten, lead the way.

[139:19]

With his hand pressed to the ground, the

[139:21]

young man invokes ancestors from ancient

[139:24]

eras to awaken. Legendary heroes of

[139:26]

Weii, one of China's three kingdoms,

[139:28]

materialized to suppress the encroaching

[139:30]

darkness. Next, the legendary generals

[139:32]

of Shu, another of the three kingdoms,

[139:34]

manifest. Soon after, the formidable

[139:36]

warriors of Wu the third kingdom also

[139:39]

appear. Finally, the spirits of the Song

[139:41]

Dynasty present themselves ready for

[139:42]

battle. Immediately after, the spirits

[139:44]

of the Yuan dynasty surge forth,

[139:46]

radiating uncontrollable fury. Next, the

[139:49]

warriors of the Ming dynasty emerge,

[139:51]

poised for a legendary battle. Soon

[139:53]

after, the heroes of theQing dynasty

[139:55]

gather, boughs drawn, astride their

[139:57]

powerful steeds. A system window appears

[140:00]

detailing the ancient heroic spirit

[140:02]

summoning ability now maxed out. He then

[140:04]

rallies the honored ancestors,

[140:06]

commanding them to prepare to fight on

[140:08]

the fifth line of defense. The spirit

[140:10]

army charges forward with furious might

[140:12]

while Nanzing recites a chilling chant

[140:14]

of a king's dominion. Next, he unleashes

[140:16]

his beast taming domain, summoning

[140:18]

swarms of venomous insects, then a

[140:21]

terrifying horde of equally deadly

[140:23]

snakes. He commands all mutant beasts.

[140:25]

Listen to my call. Obey without

[140:27]

hesitation. The system flashes the

[140:29]

details of the era's beast Tamare

[140:31]

ability, also maxed out. Nanziing

[140:33]

awakens an ancient power to further

[140:35]

amplify the beast tides. Sword held

[140:37]

firm, he leads everyone towards the

[140:39]

fifth line. Under the extreme exertion,

[140:41]

blood streams from his eyes, a testament

[140:43]

to his desperate resolve. Chuen cries

[140:46]

out, warning him he's pushing himself

[140:47]

too hard, that he can't possibly

[140:49]

continue like this. Even so, he insists

[140:51]

he must continue. There's no time to

[140:53]

lose. Chuen tries to protest, but her

[140:55]

words are cut short. Nanzying declares

[140:57]

that only the formations remain and

[140:59]

orders her to take him immediately to

[141:01]

the fifth line. At the immense fifth

[141:03]

line of defense, he unleashes the

[141:05]

infernal sword chi formation, the

[141:07]

purgatory fire formation, and the

[141:09]

abyssal thorn formation. One after

[141:11]

another, overlapping layers of lethal

[141:13]

shimmering formations erupt, shielding

[141:16]

their homeland with impenetrable might.

[141:18]

Next, the system displays the Genesis

[141:21]

God formation master ability maxed out.

[141:24]

Immediately after, a notification

[141:25]

confirms that all five supreme abilities

[141:27]

have been unified and mastered as one.

[141:30]

Instantly, he's enveloped by a violently

[141:32]

swirling sphere of pure energy. Then, a

[141:35]

colossal pillar of blinding light

[141:36]

descends from the heavens, striking the

[141:38]

ground with devastating, earthshattering

[141:40]

force. Seeing him engulfed within that

[141:43]

terrifying dome of energy, Chuen

[141:45]

screams, "Nanzying<unk>s name." Within

[141:48]

that raw surging power, he roars, his

[141:50]

transformation reaching its terrifying

[141:52]

completion. From a terrace overlooking

[141:54]

the city, Sunley announces they've

[141:56]

returned. Nanziing greets them saying

[141:58]

they're just in time as little Chu

[142:00]

Tianne rushes over calling him brother.

[142:02]

He comforts her, praising her efforts

[142:04]

when a younger companion notices

[142:06]

Nanzing's hair has turned white. The boy

[142:08]

asks what happened and Nanzing explains

[142:11]

it's the toll of preparing for battle.

[142:13]

Sun Lee then wonders if this means he's

[142:15]

finally ready to reveal his full power.

[142:17]

Nanzing confirms it. Moments later, news

[142:19]

reports flash across screens. Alien

[142:22]

forces have breached the last lines of

[142:23]

defense worldwide. Before a massive

[142:25]

assembly of soldiers, Nanzying declares

[142:28]

he has a critical announcement before

[142:29]

the final showdown. On a colossal

[142:31]

screen, his voice booms, revealing that

[142:33]

he is all five divine level prodigies of

[142:36]

the Northwest. The crowd erupts in

[142:38]

disbelief, wondering who's spreading

[142:40]

such outrageous lies. Then, Nanziing

[142:43]

steps forward, confirming it's true, and

[142:45]

orders the elderly, children, and

[142:47]

wounded to evacuate, only to join the

[142:49]

fight if their defenses crumble.

[142:51]

Elsewhere, a group of survivors reacts,

[142:53]

one muttering, "I always knew Chief Nan

[142:55]

was our savior." Nanziing then explains

[142:57]

their entire military might is

[142:59]

concentrated on the fifth line of

[143:01]

defense. Yet, he grimly admits their

[143:03]

current preparations aren't enough for

[143:04]

victory. So, he reveals his daring plan.

[143:07]

He's forming a suicide squad of psychics

[143:09]

to breach the void gate and launch a

[143:11]

desperate counteroffensive. First to

[143:13]

step up is 9-year-old Chu Tian, a divine

[143:15]

level spatial psychic, declaring it's

[143:17]

her responsibility to find a resting

[143:19]

place for Nanziing. Then, Chu Shinghi,

[143:22]

the 23-year-old Chu Clan prodigy,

[143:24]

volunteers for the Suicide Squad. Su

[143:26]

Cheni, a 25-year-old puppet master,

[143:29]

offers his services next, boasting he

[143:31]

can curse some aliens to death.

[143:33]

18-year-old plant spirit summoners

[143:35]

Chinuay and Chinying announce they're

[143:37]

ready to fight. Lan Chong Kong, a

[143:39]

23-year-old water psychic, rides in on a

[143:41]

colossal wave, telling Nanzi Ying,

[143:44]

"Don't blame me this time." Jang Yuen,

[143:46]

cruising in on a motorcycle, volunteers

[143:48]

to handle supplies with her culinary

[143:50]

skills, slightly reminding him of an old

[143:52]

debt. Nanzying grins, saying he's

[143:54]

thrilled to have her. A car screeches to

[143:56]

a halt, and Su Lang, a perception

[143:58]

psychic, steps out, apologizing for her

[144:01]

past harsh words. Finally, Chen Cair

[144:04]

volunteers, explaining her ability to

[144:06]

rewind time by 15 seconds is crucial for

[144:09]

reconnaissance. Nanzan approaches his

[144:11]

brother, revealing their father didn't

[144:13]

want him going alone and that he's

[144:14]

recently awakened powerful battlefield

[144:16]

healing abilities. Just then, Chen Leani

[144:18]

and Susi Shan arrive, insisting one

[144:21]

healer isn't enough, and asking for a

[144:23]

chance to atone for past conflicts.

[144:25]

Seeing his growing team, Nanziing offers

[144:28]

a heartfelt thanks. With the group

[144:29]

complete, he officially declares the

[144:31]

formation of the counter-offensive

[144:33]

Suicide Squad. Moments later, alien

[144:35]

invaders blot out the sky. A thunderous

[144:38]

voice echoes, "Prepare for battle."

[144:40]

Ancient formations and forbidden spells

[144:42]

ignite, unleashed upon the invaders.

[144:44]

Waves of monstrous beasts surge forward

[144:47]

while an army of undead spirits rides

[144:49]

fearlessly into the fray. High on the

[144:51]

city wall, a soldier roars to the

[144:52]

wavering. Reinforcements are here.

[144:55]

There's no escaping now. Meanwhile,

[144:57]

inside the portal, Nanzying rallies his

[144:59]

squad. Follow me. We destroy this gate

[145:02]

and end their reign of evil once and for

[145:04]

all. Upon reaching a small, secluded

[145:06]

house, someone immediately asks where

[145:08]

they are. Chuian explains it's a pocket

[145:10]

dimension she created, where time flows

[145:12]

exactly as it does in the outside world,

[145:14]

revealing she's christened it the cozy

[145:16]

cabin. Nanzying questions the mission

[145:18]

status, insisting this isn't the time to

[145:20]

settle down, but suddenly snaps back,

[145:23]

demanding to know how long a human can

[145:24]

go without food, water, or sleep.

[145:27]

Another team member points out Nanzing's

[145:29]

visible tension, noting his hair has

[145:30]

turned white from the sheer stress of

[145:32]

days without rest. Everyone is urged to

[145:34]

seize this moment because even on the

[145:36]

brink of the apocalypse, adults can't

[145:38]

let the children down. Lan Chong Kong

[145:40]

beams, exclaiming that this place is

[145:42]

literally his dream home. The group

[145:44]

watches his excitement, one woman

[145:46]

remarking that his giddiness somehow

[145:47]

makes the others look even more

[145:49]

masculine by comparison. Nanziing asks

[145:51]

the Chin brothers if they aren't curious

[145:53]

about anything, but they both declare

[145:55]

they've sworn to follow their benefactor

[145:56]

to the very end. As they step inside,

[145:59]

someone mutters that the brothers truly

[146:01]

live up to their reputation as

[146:02]

summoners. Sunly halts abruptly at the

[146:05]

entrance, a look of utter surprise

[146:07]

plastered on his face. The rest of the

[146:09]

group crowds behind him. Lan Chong Kong

[146:11]

gulps, wondering if his dream home has

[146:13]

somehow become a nightmare. As Chu Tian

[146:15]

cheerfully explains that she designed it

[146:17]

for her little sister. The main room is

[146:19]

filled with beds that look suspiciously

[146:21]

like coffins. Someone muses that the

[146:23]

style evokes childhood memories while

[146:25]

the camera focuses on portraits hanging

[146:27]

on the wall. Chuen beams, delighted

[146:30]

everyone likes it. Sun Lee, however,

[146:32]

asks how she knew exactly what to do.

[146:34]

Chuingi suggests it's about embracing

[146:37]

life through death, but the girl shrugs

[146:38]

it off, explaining there's nothing

[146:40]

profound about it, just early

[146:42]

preparation. Sunly, still a bit

[146:44]

unnerved, collapses onto one of the

[146:46]

beds, declaring he's out cold. Despite

[146:48]

the unsettling appearance, he admits

[146:49]

it's surprisingly comfortable once he

[146:51]

closes his eyes. In the kitchen, Jang

[146:53]

Yuen starts prepping a meal, announcing

[146:55]

it will be a true feast, for it might

[146:57]

just be their last together. Chin Sui

[146:59]

delivers a basket of fresh vegetables,

[147:01]

leading Jang Yuen to ask why they're

[147:02]

planting instead of simply conjuring

[147:04]

food. The girl explains that her brother

[147:06]

believes vegetables need to grow in the

[147:08]

earth to forge a connection with the

[147:09]

soil. Jang Yuen, a nononsense cook,

[147:12]

shoves her out of the kitchen, telling

[147:13]

her not to talk like that and warning

[147:15]

that the smoke is bad for her eyes. In

[147:17]

the pharmacy, Chenlani and Suan decide

[147:20]

to focus on brewing potions for battle

[147:22]

enhancement, healing, [music] and

[147:23]

resilience. Meanwhile, Nanzy Shan

[147:26]

settles into the healing room, noting

[147:28]

that the stark white bedding makes

[147:29]

Chuen's peculiar ideas abundantly clear.

[147:32]

Outside, a teleportation formation hums

[147:35]

to life, establishing a reconnaissance

[147:37]

point 30 km from the dreaded vacuum

[147:39]

gate. Chenier asks Chuen why she doesn't

[147:42]

just create a new Earth. Without missing

[147:44]

a beat, the little girl retorts, asking

[147:46]

why Chenier has such a flat chest.

[147:48]

Stunned by the immediate backlash, Jang

[147:50]

Yuan quickly intervenes, calming the

[147:52]

agitated Chenier and explaining that

[147:55]

Chutian is just a child speaking her

[147:57]

mind. Chutian then reveals that creating

[147:59]

this cabin cost her 50 years of her life

[148:01]

and she might not even live long enough

[148:03]

to develop breasts. Deeply embarrassed,

[148:05]

Chener apologizes while Chutian secretly

[148:07]

thinks to herself, "Aults are so easy to

[148:10]

fool." Soon after, Jang Yuan announces

[148:12]

the soup is ready, explaining she

[148:14]

prepared a little bit of everything for

[148:15]

the group's meal. As everyone gathers,

[148:17]

Nanziing attempts to discuss their plan,

[148:19]

but Jang Yuan insists he eats first. Chu

[148:21]

Shinghi then takes the lead, detailing

[148:23]

that both the front and back portals are

[148:25]

active with the front one leading back

[148:27]

to their defensive line. He assigns Su

[148:29]

Lang and Chener to the reconnaissance

[148:31]

point while the others remain in the

[148:32]

cabin to manage logistics. Nanzing

[148:35]

agrees with the arrangements. However,

[148:37]

Nanzan objects to her assigned role,

[148:39]

asserting she can provide direct support

[148:41]

on the battlefield. Chuen quickly

[148:43]

interjects, promising to guarantee her

[148:45]

safety. Nanzishan implores her brother

[148:47]

not to hold back just because she's his

[148:49]

sister. After a moment's hesitation, he

[148:51]

relents, allowing her to join the front

[148:53]

line. Shu Shinghi then instructs

[148:55]

everyone to finish their meal, rest for

[148:57]

3 hours, and prepare for departure.

[148:59]

Elsewhere, Chen Leani and Susi Shan

[149:02]

accept the decision, remarking that

[149:04]

they'd only be dead weight on the front

[149:05]

lines. The group eats animatedly, making

[149:08]

requests and playfully teasing each

[149:10]

other about their ages and preferences.

[149:12]

The banter continues outside with more

[149:14]

playful jabs about one person's age and

[149:16]

another's culinary choices. Meanwhile, a

[149:18]

cube-shaped object floats ominously in

[149:21]

the air, enveloped by a swirling vortex

[149:23]

of energy. At the reconnaissance point,

[149:25]

Su Lang and Chenair detect a staggering

[149:28]

1 million awakened signatures on the

[149:30]

other side of the vacuum gate. Standing

[149:31]

before the imposing structure, the group

[149:33]

is informed that a million Buddhas await

[149:36]

them beyond it. The decision is made.

[149:38]

Eliminate the guardians first. Chuen

[149:40]

positions herself to open the portal.

[149:42]

After everyone confirms they're ready,

[149:44]

she receives the order to activate it. A

[149:47]

colossal golden entity looms, addressing

[149:49]

Nanzi Ying, declaring it had been

[149:51]

waiting for him and advising surrender,

[149:53]

for the aliens are the true gods. Losing

[149:55]

his patience, Sun Lee snars, telling the

[149:58]

creature to shut its mouth, calling it a

[150:00]

clown, and threatening to sew its lips

[150:02]

shut. The squad charges into combat.

[150:04]

Someone remarks that using Buddha's name

[150:06]

for such evil is utterly repugnant. The

[150:08]

entity roars that they leave no choice,

[150:10]

and they will be forcibly enlightened as

[150:12]

an ancient monk begins to chant. Moments

[150:14]

later, the golden creature unleashes a

[150:17]

devastating top-own attack. In response,

[150:19]

Nanziing prepares his own

[150:20]

earthshattering blow, proclaiming that

[150:22]

gods will fall and Buddhas will be

[150:24]

shattered. Nanziing<unk>s attack smashes

[150:26]

into the golden entity, completely

[150:28]

shattering it. But just as quickly, it

[150:30]

reforms itself, declaring that its

[150:32]

golden Buddha body is immortal and

[150:34]

indestructible. Seeing this, Chuing

[150:36]

summons a powerful shield to defend

[150:38]

himself. As the barrier withstands the

[150:39]

relentless assault, he realizes the

[150:41]

enemy's combined power is overwhelming,

[150:44]

and they're trying to wear them down

[150:45]

slowly. Nanzing barks that they can't

[150:47]

afford a war of attrition. They need to

[150:49]

break this formation now. In response,

[150:51]

the enemy unleashes a devastating

[150:53]

attack, merging 10,000 fists into one

[150:56]

colossal strike. Back at the observation

[150:58]

point, one of the girls scoffs. They're

[151:00]

underestimating Nanzeeing. Getting close

[151:03]

to that attack will be a walk in the

[151:04]

park for him. Without a moment's

[151:05]

hesitation, Nanzying bellows Chuin's

[151:08]

name, and she responds instantly. She

[151:10]

teleports the entire group straight into

[151:12]

the heart of the enemy's attack. They

[151:14]

all reappear, surrounded by the swirling

[151:16]

fists. Then in a flash, they're

[151:18]

teleported again, materializing directly

[151:21]

above the golden entity. Nanziing and

[151:24]

the others prepare to unleash a

[151:25]

devastating cursed strike. [music]

[151:27]

Sensing the immense danger, the old monk

[151:29]

screams for everyone to protect

[151:31]

themselves with a mantra, but it's too

[151:33]

late. The attack slams into the monks

[151:35]

and the entity, causing massive

[151:36]

destruction. Nanzying Bark's orders.

[151:38]

Four of them are to handle the

[151:40]

protectors while he takes on the leader.

[151:41]

Sun Lee immediately agrees to the

[151:43]

strategy. [music] Chinying asks, "Tough

[151:46]

brothers refers to us, right?" Su Chang

[151:48]

activates his puppet wire arena,

[151:50]

brazenly challenging the old monk to use

[151:52]

his dirty tricks. Protector Vager

[151:54]

retorts that his mouth needs a good

[151:56]

scrubbing, but Such Chang just grins and

[151:58]

dares him to try. Chushingi confronts an

[152:00]

ancient godle protector, trapping him

[152:03]

within an impenetrable isolation dome.

[152:05]

Protector Anup warns them to stop while

[152:07]

they still can, declaring that true

[152:09]

seekers of the Buddhist state must save

[152:11]

themselves. Lan Chong Kong also uses an

[152:13]

isolation technique, but instead he

[152:16]

conjures a shimmering screen of water

[152:18]

around his foe. Protector Deepac accuses

[152:20]

him of going against the flow, but our

[152:22]

fighter scoffs at the comparison. The

[152:24]

Chin brothers summon a thorny jungle,

[152:26]

engulfing their opponent. Protector Raja

[152:29]

snars that he's not in the mood for

[152:30]

chatter, to which the brothers retort,

[152:32]

"Neither are we." Meanwhile, Nanziing

[152:36]

commands his fallen warriors to rise and

[152:38]

fight for him once more. Immediately,

[152:40]

the spectral forms of defeated monks

[152:42]

rise from the ground all around him. He

[152:44]

points his weapon skyward, roaring for

[152:46]

the spirits to annihilate these false

[152:49]

Buddhas. The leader's eyes widen in

[152:51]

surprise at such power, but Nanziing

[152:53]

merely glares past him, declaring,

[152:55]

"You're next." As the spirits surge

[152:57]

forward, the old monk snars, accusing

[153:00]

Nanziing of being consumed by greed,

[153:02]

anger, and ignorance. The three poisons

[153:04]

of Buddhism. Nanziing is struck by a

[153:06]

psychic attack, but only roars back,

[153:08]

"Shut your mouth." Then he unleashes a

[153:10]

forbidden sound element spell, creating

[153:12]

an absolute deafening silence. Advancing

[153:15]

without hesitation, he declares that

[153:17]

nothing fuels his hatred more than those

[153:19]

who pretend to be gods, and then flips

[153:22]

the accusation, calling the monk the

[153:24]

true embodiment of greed, anger, and

[153:26]

ignorance. As the monk shields himself,

[153:28]

he questions, "Who among us is the true

[153:31]

Buddha? and who is the real demon? In

[153:34]

response, Nanzing unleashes the searing

[153:36]

flames of Assura's fury, vowing to tear

[153:39]

off his adversar's false divine mask.

[153:42]

The monk proclaims that this blasphemer

[153:44]

has forced him to reveal his true dharma

[153:46]

form. Nanzing scoffs, "Was that form

[153:48]

granted by your alien masters? How weak

[153:50]

is your practice if it depends so much

[153:52]

on mere appearances?" The monk then

[153:54]

declares himself the reincarnation of

[153:56]

Tatagata, only for Nanziing to instantly

[153:58]

brand him a demon. The monk then

[154:00]

declares Nanzing overflowing with sin,

[154:02]

destined to be cast into the avichi hell

[154:04]

of the six paths of reincarnation.

[154:06]

Without missing a beat, Nanziing

[154:08]

retorts, "I already live in that hell."

[154:10]

He vows to show the monk what a real

[154:12]

hell looks like, then activates the five

[154:14]

element infernal formation. The monk's

[154:16]

supposed divine level formation

[154:18]

shatters, leaving him utterly

[154:19]

incredulous at how easily it was

[154:21]

destroyed. Nanzi Ying sneers, "You're no

[154:24]

god. Your formation is a joke, and now

[154:26]

it's my turn." As the monk frantically

[154:28]

tries to dodge with a defensive

[154:30]

technique, he's slammed by Assura's

[154:32]

molten rock. He manages to raise a

[154:34]

shield, but is instantly crushed by

[154:36]

Assura's frozen ice. Giving no quarter,

[154:38]

Nanzi Ying activates the golden lock

[154:40]

formation, trapping his opponent

[154:42]

completely. The monk is engulfed in

[154:44]

chains, desperately begging his alien

[154:46]

gods to save him. Suddenly, he vanishes.

[154:49]

Nanzying immediately suspects the

[154:51]

intervention of an S-class alien. Just

[154:53]

then, a desperate cry for help echoes,

[154:55]

and Nanzeeing instantly recognizes his

[154:58]

father's voice. The monk reappears, now

[155:00]

clutching Nanzing's father as a hostage,

[155:02]

demanding his surrender in exchange for

[155:04]

his dad's life. An enemy unleashes a

[155:06]

parasite purging attack, but the Chin

[155:09]

brothers defend themselves with a root

[155:10]

shield. As the impact slams into their

[155:12]

barrier, they realize the hostage is

[155:14]

their benefactor's father. The blow

[155:16]

still reaches them, prompting Chuten to

[155:18]

prepare for an emergency teleport.

[155:20]

Without a moment's thought, she

[155:21]

instantly teleports Nanziing<unk>s

[155:23]

father and his captor to safety. They

[155:25]

reappear beside Nanza, who immediately

[155:27]

starts healing them. Meanwhile, Chuen

[155:30]

opts to hold back the protector. The

[155:32]

girl uses spatial teleportation to trap

[155:34]

their attacker inside a shimmering cube.

[155:36]

The enemy struggles to break free,

[155:38]

exclaiming he has no time for such

[155:39]

games. Chuen merely sends him hurtling

[155:41]

far away, while elsewhere, the intense

[155:44]

battle against the golden entity rages

[155:46]

on. Chu Xinghi barks orders, telling

[155:48]

everyone to stay focused on the fight

[155:50]

and put their trust in Nanzi Ying. Su

[155:52]

Chang, meanwhile, expertly manipulates

[155:54]

the golden entity with his threads,

[155:56]

scoffing that he won't be distracted by

[155:58]

some petty demon. He then brazenly

[156:00]

taunts his opponent's divine whip,

[156:02]

asking why it's so ridiculously short.

[156:04]

The protector snarls, calling him

[156:06]

insolent for insulting a sacred

[156:08]

artifact. Immediately after, the monk

[156:10]

unleashes a terrifying divine

[156:12]

punishment, but Lan Chong Kong stands

[156:14]

ready to meet it head on. Lan Chong Kong

[156:16]

boldly declares it's nothing but mere

[156:18]

fire and poison before unleashing his

[156:20]

boundless ocean. The monk still holding

[156:22]

the hostage snears, pressing his blade

[156:24]

against the man's throat. "Don't you

[156:26]

fear I'll kill him?" he taunts. [music]

[156:27]

He threatens to end the hostage's life

[156:29]

if Nanziing doesn't kneel, but the young

[156:31]

man calmly asks his father if he truly

[156:33]

wishes for such a sacrifice to save him.

[156:35]

The father defiantly responds yes, then

[156:38]

challenges his son. Do you intend to

[156:39]

just stand there and watch me die? Chuen

[156:42]

offers to teleport the hostage, but

[156:43]

Nanzying refuses. instead asking her to

[156:46]

get him as close as possible. As he

[156:47]

draws near, the monk snarls a warning.

[156:50]

Don't try any tricks. Yet, Nanziing

[156:52]

attacks regardless, scoffing that the

[156:54]

only trick he's playing is saving his

[156:56]

dear father. The alien easily dodges,

[156:59]

demanding to know the reason for the

[157:01]

attack. Nanziing retorts that it had

[157:03]

seriously underestimated his old man.

[157:05]

The creature, sensing Nanzing's apparent

[157:07]

indifference, questions him, but Nanzing

[157:10]

shoots back that a species devoid of

[157:11]

emotions could never grasp what it truly

[157:14]

means to be human. The being offers one

[157:16]

last chance to join them, but Nanzing's

[157:18]

refusal is immediate and met with a

[157:20]

deadly lunge. The alien snars, calling

[157:22]

him a stubborn insect, and prepares to

[157:24]

unleash its crulest methods, but Nanzing

[157:27]

strikes first, connecting with a

[157:29]

powerful lava slash. Nanzing then

[157:31]

asserts that the alien's power is

[157:32]

nothing but an illusion with both weak

[157:34]

offense and defense. He declares his

[157:37]

true obsession is to utterly exterminate

[157:39]

them. The enemy relentlessly insists

[157:41]

that Nanzing cares nothing for his own

[157:44]

father's life. And this time the threat

[157:46]

is very real. Suddenly, a memory

[157:48]

flashes. His father arriving home with

[157:50]

his mother, deciding to name their

[157:52]

newborn son Nanziing. Another memory

[157:54]

follows. A young Nanzi crying to his

[157:57]

father about bullies, afraid because

[157:59]

they were bigger and outnumbered him.

[158:01]

Then a different memory. His father

[158:03]

scolds him for feeling fear, advising

[158:05]

him to always fight back, even if he

[158:07]

couldn't win. Moments later, a younger

[158:09]

Nanzi is seen savagely beating one of

[158:11]

the boys, who screams for help while the

[158:13]

others call him crazy. Watching from a

[158:15]

distance, his father states that after

[158:17]

this, they would never dare bully him

[158:19]

again for the rest of his life. Years

[158:20]

later, a grown Nanzing asks his wounded

[158:23]

father how he got so badly hurt. The man

[158:25]

simply replies that the battlefield is a

[158:27]

brutal place. Back in the present,

[158:28]

Nanziing confronts the alien, demanding

[158:31]

to know how it knows all of this. The

[158:32]

creature smirks, revealing it extracted

[158:35]

those memories directly from his

[158:36]

father's mind, adding that with its own

[158:38]

power, killing him would be effortless.

[158:40]

Just then, Nanziing's true father

[158:43]

appears, gravely wounded. The alien

[158:45]

quickly asserts it wasn't responsible

[158:47]

for the injuries, claiming it actually

[158:49]

saved him on the defense lines. It then

[158:51]

declares it's now the father's turn to

[158:53]

return the favor, causing him to scream

[158:55]

in agony. A chilling message from the

[158:57]

fifth defense line command blares, "Lord

[158:59]

Nan Xong Shan has been reported missing

[159:01]

in action." Hearing this grim

[159:02]

confirmation, Nanziing simply responds,

[159:05]

"Understood." The alien gloats,

[159:07]

announcing it has completely merged with

[159:09]

Nanzi<unk>s father's blood, and taunts

[159:12]

him, asking if he truly has the guts to

[159:14]

kill him now. Mockingly, it declares

[159:16]

that insects are weak creatures, forever

[159:19]

bound by their emotions as it prepares

[159:21]

to make its escape. The golden entity

[159:23]

then attempts an Earth escape art.

[159:24]

Nanzing confronts it, desperately asking

[159:27]

his father what he should do. To the

[159:28]

alien's shock, his father's

[159:30]

consciousness suddenly screams, begging

[159:32]

Nanzing to save him. Enraged by this

[159:34]

unexpected resilience, the being snarls,

[159:36]

demanding they stop playing games and

[159:39]

unleashes a forbidden lava spell. The

[159:41]

golden figure is engulfed in searing

[159:42]

flames, questioning why this is

[159:44]

happening. Finally, the alien

[159:46]

understands. Nanziing knew who the real

[159:48]

father was all along. It persistence

[159:52]

these humans after all. Amidst the

[159:54]

roaring flames, Nanzying<unk>s father

[159:56]

tells the alien that it would never

[159:58]

understand. But that's precisely why

[160:00]

humanity endures. He bids farewell,

[160:02]

promising to wait for their next

[160:04]

encounter while Nanzing whispers

[160:05]

apologies. On his knees, Nanzing swears

[160:09]

that day will surely come. He then

[160:10]

pleads with his father to rest, vowing

[160:12]

to bring him home for a good meal once

[160:14]

all this mess is sorted. Meanwhile, the

[160:17]

rest of the group struggles against the

[160:18]

parasites. The siblings apologize for

[160:21]

holding everyone back. Nanzashan

[160:23]

explains that the decision was made by

[160:24]

her brother and their father, admitting

[160:26]

it's hard to control her emotions.

[160:28]

Chutian suggests bringing their father

[160:30]

back, but is told it's likely for the

[160:32]

same reason he didn't revive the others.

[160:34]

Her sister clarifies that his wish is

[160:35]

for everyone to rest in peace. And on

[160:37]

the battlefield, even the undead can die

[160:40]

again. Little Chuen whines that these

[160:42]

bugs are just too tough to kill. Seeing

[160:44]

this, the Chin siblings offer to try,

[160:46]

charging straight into the parasitic

[160:47]

horde. Just then, Protector Raja

[160:49]

returns, demanding to know what they've

[160:51]

done to his dharma body. Nanziing

[160:54]

regaining his composure tells a

[160:55]

companion they need to clean up their

[160:57]

own mess and the entire battlefield. Chu

[160:59]

Singh he explains to one of the monks

[161:01]

that the Dharma body was merely an

[161:02]

illusion created by the now dead alien.

[161:04]

Lon Chong Kong attacks his opponent,

[161:06]

mocking how cowardly he's become after

[161:08]

losing his dharma body. Su Chang traps

[161:11]

his adversary, explaining that they were

[161:12]

all duped by illusions, forgetting their

[161:15]

true potential and acting like complete

[161:17]

idiots. Shu Shinghi pierces his enemy

[161:19]

with a precise strike. Then Lan Chong

[161:21]

Kong freezes his opponent solid while Su

[161:24]

Chang carves up the last protector.

[161:26]

Finally, Nanziing unleashes a

[161:28]

devastating tornado, declaring he will

[161:30]

cleanse this battlefield once and for

[161:32]

all. The group watches the Chin siblings

[161:34]

with Chu Singh stating they don't need

[161:36]

help. They must grow on their own. The

[161:38]

last enemy tries to flee, but the

[161:40]

siblings block his escape. Desperate, he

[161:42]

unleashes a swarm of sea shell

[161:44]

parasites. However, Chinying casts a

[161:46]

reverse parasitism spell. Seeds burst

[161:49]

from the parasites, completely turning

[161:51]

the attack back on him. The man ends up

[161:53]

trapped by metallic thorns. Utterly

[161:55]

immobilized, he whimpers, wondering why

[161:57]

Buddha didn't come to save him. The

[161:59]

siblings simply explain that Buddha only

[162:01]

helps those who help themselves.

[162:03]

Nanzying then addresses the spirits of

[162:04]

the fallen monks, offering them a chance

[162:06]

at redemption on the fifth line of

[162:08]

defense. The spirits accept, ascending

[162:10]

and departing towards the horizon. Just

[162:13]

then, Cang Yan emerges from a portal

[162:15]

laden with food, announcing that the sun

[162:17]

is risen and it's [music] breakfast

[162:18]

time. Such Chang greets her, surprised

[162:20]

she's already prepared everything. She

[162:22]

simply replies that it's the only thing

[162:24]

she's truly good at. Sunli then tells

[162:26]

everyone to grab some grub and asks Chu

[162:28]

Tian to teleport Suang and Chen are

[162:30]

over. Meanwhile, Nanziing and the others

[162:32]

remain silent amidst the wreckage.

[162:34]

[music] He turns to Chinying, asking her

[162:36]

to plant a tree near where his father

[162:38]

fell so he won't lose him again in the

[162:40]

future. From a [music] distance, Sunli

[162:42]

and Chuian watch the group gathered

[162:44]

under the newly planted tree. He then

[162:46]

tells her to bring everyone over to eat

[162:47]

before the food gets cold. Once

[162:49]

gathered, Jang Yuan hands a meal to

[162:51]

Nanziing, who thanks her silently. Sunli

[162:53]

also serves him, insisting he needs to

[162:55]

eat to keep his strength up. Little Chu

[162:57]

Tian sits next to Nanzan, offering her

[162:59]

own food. Soon, other squad members

[163:02]

approach, doing the same and offering

[163:03]

their meals to Nanzi Ying. He just

[163:05]

stares at the full food box before him.

[163:07]

One of the guys tells him to stop

[163:08]

hesitating and just eat, reminding him

[163:10]

there's still work to do afterward. A

[163:12]

short while later, Nanzying's food box

[163:14]

lies empty on the ground. Next, [music]

[163:16]

he instructs Su Lang to compile a

[163:18]

bestiary of aliens and share it in real

[163:20]

time with the fifth line of defense.

[163:22]

Immediately after, she reports news of

[163:24]

an S-rank alien appearing at the

[163:26]

vanguard, causing severe casualties. At

[163:29]

that exact moment, the void gate ahead

[163:31]

unleashes yet another wave of A-rank

[163:33]

aliens. Numerous monstrous creatures

[163:36]

erupt from the portal, surging directly

[163:38]

towards the group. Faced with this,

[163:40]

Nanziing orders Chuten to return with

[163:42]

him to the defense line, leaving the

[163:43]

others responsible for eliminating the

[163:45]

enemies right here. On the front lines,

[163:47]

the fifth defense formation is plunged

[163:49]

into absolute chaos. Immediately after,

[163:52]

a barrage of aerial attacks begins to

[163:54]

pummel the battlefield. Facing the

[163:55]

forbidden spells, countless creatures

[163:57]

are held back by a single devastating

[163:59]

strike. Among them, a multi-armed golem

[164:02]

is struck by electrical discharges while

[164:04]

other monsters are hurled away.

[164:06]

Meanwhile, amidst the beast tide,

[164:08]

humanoid creatures charge head-on

[164:10]

against a monster with razor-sharp

[164:12]

claws. In the spirit sector, a warrior

[164:14]

announces the solitary blade assault,

[164:16]

brandishing 18 spears in a single hand.

[164:19]

Above the creatures, a vortex-shaped

[164:21]

attack begins to coalesce in the sky.

[164:23]

Then, the devastating force slams into

[164:25]

the ground, obliterating everything in

[164:27]

its path. Commander Wong Lay and his

[164:29]

soldiers react, utterly baffled by what

[164:31]

just transpired. One man screams that he

[164:33]

can't see or hear any attackers.

[164:35]

Bewildered by the assault as his own

[164:37]

energy threatens to rupture. Desperate

[164:39]

to stay calm, he activates the Crimson

[164:41]

Abyss silent breath technique. He

[164:43]

swiftly deduces the attack originates

[164:45]

from the dark clouds and orders the

[164:47]

colossal steel eagles to disperse them.

[164:49]

A bat-like winged creature emerges from

[164:51]

the clouds, making him wonder if it's

[164:53]

yet another alien menace. Analyzing the

[164:55]

situation, he realizes these creatures

[164:57]

employ an inaudible sonic attack to

[165:00]

destabilize internal energy, pushing

[165:02]

victims towards self-destruction. Faced

[165:04]

with this, an officer commands all

[165:06]

espers to retreat to the underground

[165:08]

shelters, conserve their strength, and

[165:10]

immediately alert Nanzi Ying. In a grimy

[165:12]

slaughterhouse, a group of men gloat

[165:14]

about becoming stronger after awakening

[165:16]

necromancy abilities. Suddenly, waves of

[165:19]

raw energy reverberate throughout the

[165:21]

entire city. The impact slams into

[165:23]

civilians, sending them sprawling to the

[165:25]

ground. On the fifth [music] defense

[165:27]

line, the winged creature clashes

[165:29]

directly with an elemental. Nanzing

[165:31]

recognizes the gravity of the sonic

[165:33]

attacks while his companion frantically

[165:35]

searches for a way to shield both the

[165:37]

city and their forces. With no other

[165:39]

option, he prepares to unleash a

[165:41]

forbidden sound element spell, deep

[165:43]

[music] silence. A barrier spanning 500

[165:46]

km activates, enveloping the entire

[165:48]

city. As the attack subsides, Commander

[165:50]

Wang Lelay recognizes Nanzying<unk>s

[165:53]

intervention and rallies his warriors to

[165:55]

return to the fry. Civilians begin to

[165:57]

recover, with one suggesting they check

[165:59]

the live broadcast from the front line,

[166:01]

convinced someone incredibly powerful

[166:03]

has emerged. Nanziing requests Chuen

[166:05]

teleport him directly into battle,

[166:07]

leaving her in charge of support.

[166:09]

Moments later, he materializes in the

[166:11]

sky high above the creature. The enemy

[166:13]

swiftly dodges his rapid attack, forcing

[166:15]

him to conclude he'll need to use

[166:16]

lightning. Meanwhile, an elementalist

[166:19]

activates a forbidden wood element spell

[166:21]

to secure his position. Nanzing then

[166:23]

unleashes another forbidden spell, the

[166:25]

lightning cut. However, the creature

[166:27]

easily evades it, making him realize

[166:29]

that even his lightning can't match its

[166:31]

speed or inflict any harm. In response,

[166:33]

the enemy summons darkness to envelop

[166:35]

its surroundings. He counterattacks with

[166:37]

a forbidden light element spell,

[166:39]

scattering the oppressive gloom. Bracing

[166:41]

for the next onslaught, he keeps his

[166:43]

guard up. The creature then strikes him

[166:45]

with a sound nullification spell, making

[166:47]

him realize a single forbidden spell

[166:49]

won't be enough to block it. So, he

[166:51]

begins to multiply the power of the

[166:53]

sound element spell. His companion warns

[166:55]

him of the attack's insane range, while

[166:57]

Nanzi Ying calculates he can only

[166:59]

accumulate power four more times. The

[167:02]

soundproof barrier stretches to its

[167:03]

absolute limit, threatening to rupture.

[167:05]

Despite this, he pushes the barrier to

[167:07]

an absurd overload of 3 billion times.

[167:10]

Realizing it's still not enough, he asks

[167:12]

Chuen to find a way to teleport him and

[167:14]

the creature far away from the fifth

[167:16]

front. [music] At that moment, the enemy

[167:18]

dives straight for Chu Tien, intent on

[167:20]

attacking her. The sonic attack strikes

[167:22]

her directly. At the last second, his

[167:24]

companion summons a wooden shield to

[167:26]

protect her. The man screams for them to

[167:28]

protect Chu Tien and ensure she doesn't

[167:30]

leave the soundproof barrier. Nanzi Ying

[167:32]

then unleashes a forbidden sound

[167:34]

nullification spell with an overload of

[167:37]

1 million times. Since conventional

[167:39]

attacks have failed, he unleashes sonic

[167:41]

interference, turning the creature's own

[167:43]

venom against it. He declares that even

[167:45]

if he's weak, what truly matters is that

[167:47]

the attack works. With that, Nanzing

[167:49]

unleashes a devastating sonic blast a

[167:52]

100red million times overclocked. The

[167:54]

strike lands directly on the creature,

[167:55]

crippling its eardrum and proving the

[167:57]

technique's effectiveness. The creature

[167:59]

hisses, calling him a pathetic insect,

[168:01]

and fires a blast directly from its maw.

[168:03]

In response, Nanzing retaliates with

[168:06]

focused sonic waves. also a 100 million

[168:08]

times overclocked. Struck, [music] the

[168:10]

creature screams for its vines to form a

[168:12]

protective shield. At this moment,

[168:14]

Nanziing realizes his remaining source

[168:16]

stones are limited, and he needs to win

[168:18]

with a single decisive blow. He

[168:20]

concludes that continuously relying on

[168:22]

forbidden spells is unsustainable. He

[168:25]

then wonders if it would be possible to

[168:26]

transform an ordinary voice into a sonic

[168:29]

wave attack. With this idea, he uses the

[168:31]

forbidden conversion spell to transform

[168:33]

his shout into an attack. The creature

[168:35]

charges directly into the offensive.

[168:37]

Still, the blow lands, though it proves

[168:39]

weak. Nanzying admits his voice alone

[168:42]

isn't enough, but then questions the

[168:44]

power of hundreds of millions of Carians

[168:46]

shouting together. A colossal energy

[168:48]

surge manifests on the battlefield. His

[168:51]

companions watch and one asks if the

[168:52]

battle is lost. Nanzing explains that

[168:55]

the barrier will only last 10 more

[168:56]

seconds and orders the entire city to

[168:59]

shout in unison. Through a telepathic

[169:01]

broadcast, Commander Wang Lelay calls

[169:03]

upon all citizens to shout alongside

[169:05]

him. He roars, "Cath will prevail." The

[169:08]

civilians respond with the same powerful

[169:10]

war cry. Through the city streets, the

[169:12]

clamor echoes among the populace.

[169:15]

Soldiers and spirits alike join the

[169:16]

chorus, screaming, "Cath will prevail."

[169:19]

Even the beasts on the battlefield roar

[169:20]

in response. Nanziing then activates an

[169:23]

absorption spell to channel the power of

[169:25]

these sonic waves. The creature is hit

[169:27]

by a focused sonic wave. He then

[169:29]

converts that power into a billion times

[169:32]

overclocked attack, manifesting a

[169:34]

magnificent energy dragon. The creature

[169:36]

tries to react with its own sonic blast,

[169:38]

but the dragon surges forward to

[169:40]

intercept the enemy's attack. To the

[169:42]

sound of the rallying cry, Cath will

[169:44]

prevail. The energy dragon presses

[169:45]

onward. It completely engulfs the enemy.

[169:48]

Nanziing shouts for the creature to hear

[169:50]

the roar of Cath's dragon and repent its

[169:52]

arrogance against humanity. The dragon

[169:54]

roars with fury and the creature

[169:56]

responds with its own pained bellow.

[169:58]

Nanziing informs them that he needs to

[170:00]

return to the void gate to hold back the

[170:01]

advancing army and asks to be notified

[170:04]

if another S-rank alien appears. He then

[170:07]

turns to Chu Tien asking if she's all

[170:09]

right and if she can teleport him back

[170:10]

to the cozy cottage. With great effort,

[170:12]

she manifests a portal and confirms she

[170:14]

still can. Immediately after, Chuen

[170:17]

collapses into his arms. Nanzing

[170:19]

declares he needs to get her medical

[170:20]

attention before anything else and

[170:22]

dashes toward the portal. Outside the

[170:24]

void gate, a man activates his domain of

[170:26]

annihilation against the creatures.

[170:28]

Another combatant surrounded by

[170:30]

serpentine creatures laments that they

[170:32]

aren't even good enough for soup. A

[170:34]

young man declares he isn't the same

[170:35]

idiot he once was and at the same time

[170:38]

creates a powerful water vortex.

[170:40]

Meanwhile, two other warriors utilize

[170:42]

the inferno of Thorn whirlwind to

[170:44]

strangle one of the beasts. With the

[170:45]

battle wrapped, one of them comments

[170:47]

that he already burned through breakfast

[170:49]

and he's hungry again. reunited. One of

[170:51]

the men wonders how Nanziing is doing.

[170:53]

Another responds that on days like this,

[170:55]

no news is usually good news. One of

[170:57]

them notices that the gate hasn't sent

[170:59]

any more A-rank aliens and suggests

[171:01]

there might be a teleportation pattern.

[171:03]

Given this, he orders Su Lang to record

[171:05]

all waves of aliens, tracking the time,

[171:07]

type, and rank of every single one that

[171:09]

appears. Suang confirms the order

[171:11]

without hesitation. Suddenly, in the

[171:13]

sky, dozens of eyes snap open in the

[171:16]

darkness. Su Chang observes the scene

[171:18]

and wonders, "What in the blazes is

[171:20]

that?" Back at the secluded cabin,

[171:22]

Nanziing bursts in, carrying a gravely

[171:25]

wounded Chu Tian. One woman immediately

[171:27]

calls for her to be laid down, while

[171:28]

another rushes off to grab a healing

[171:30]

potion. Once administered, the woman

[171:32]

explains the dire news. Chuen's severe

[171:35]

internal injuries mean she won't be able

[171:36]

to use her powers for quite some time.

[171:39]

Just then, an officer updates Nanzi Ying

[171:41]

on an S-rank alien threat, but quickly

[171:43]

pivots to even gra. America has fallen.

[171:47]

She continues her report, revealing a

[171:49]

million strong Esper rebel army led by

[171:51]

an S-rank Reaper is now advancing on

[171:54]

their fifth line of defense. Nan Xiing

[171:56]

curses his luck. His source stones are

[171:58]

depleted. Without them, [music] and

[172:00]

without any spatial transport, there's

[172:02]

no way he can get there in time. Sus

[172:03]

Xian suggests a power boosting drug

[172:06]

capable of granting a short-term surge

[172:07]

of strength. But another woman quickly

[172:09]

warns that it drains life force [music]

[172:11]

and would be irreversible for someone

[172:13]

already in a weakened state. Nanziing

[172:15]

immediately dismisses the idea. They

[172:17]

can't do that to a 9-year-old kid. His

[172:19]

only option, he declares, is to summon a

[172:21]

falcon and fly there himself. Susiaan

[172:23]

apologizes, [music] promising to rack

[172:25]

her brain for another solution.

[172:26]

Suddenly, Chuian sits bolt upright and

[172:28]

demands the drug, startling Nanziing,

[172:31]

who hadn't realized she was awake. He

[172:32]

tries to calm her, insisting it was all

[172:34]

just a dream, but she scoffs, calling

[172:36]

him a terrible liar. Nanziing sternly

[172:39]

orders her not to be reckless, but the

[172:41]

girl retorts that she's already been

[172:42]

reckless enough by following him this

[172:44]

far. Declaring herself just a reckless

[172:46]

kid, she uses her powers to snatch the

[172:48]

drug. Nanzying watches, horrified as she

[172:51]

swallows it, reminding her that she,

[172:53]

more than anyone, knows this is war.

[172:56]

Chuen reacts almost instantly, writhing

[172:58]

on the bed. Panicked, Nanzi Ying screams

[173:00]

her name as the girl's body convulses.

[173:02]

But then, with a calm he couldn't have

[173:04]

imagined, she places a hand on his face.

[173:06]

She then leaps from the bed, declaring

[173:08]

that she's overflowing with an energy

[173:10]

she's never felt before, and it would be

[173:12]

a complete waste not to use it. Nanzying

[173:14]

asks if she's truly sure, and her

[173:16]

confident reply is chilling. She could

[173:18]

teleport Earth right out of orbit

[173:19]

without even breaking a sweat. Seeing

[173:21]

her conviction, he demands more of the

[173:23]

drug for himself. One of the women

[173:25]

quickly hands over healing potions to

[173:26]

counteract the inevitable side effects,

[173:28]

while another offers them some grl

[173:30]

before they depart. Nanzi Ying

[173:32]

gratefully takes the food and Chu Tian

[173:34]

also manages to wolf down a few bites.

[173:36]

Meanwhile, at the vacuum gate, one of

[173:38]

the men grimly notes that since Nanzing

[173:40]

didn't show, the task of taking down the

[173:42]

S-class creature falls entirely on them.

[173:44]

Su Chang wastes no time, summoning his

[173:47]

powerful puppets to join the fry. The

[173:49]

marionets surge forward, launching an

[173:51]

assault on the grotesque, multi-eyed

[173:53]

creature. The entity unleashes a

[173:55]

terrifying energy that instantly corrods

[173:57]

one of the puppets down to the bone,

[173:59]

forcing them to realize its intensely

[174:01]

corrosive nature. Moments later, the

[174:03]

insidious energy begins to eat away at

[174:05]

the very strings controlling the

[174:07]

marionets. Someone yells to cut the

[174:09]

strings, and the [music] group barely

[174:10]

breaks free as Su Chang apologizes for

[174:12]

his momentary lapse. One of them quickly

[174:14]

suggests that their priority must be to

[174:16]

halt the spread of the corrosion,

[174:18]

proposing they use water element

[174:20]

abilities. Lan Chong Kong, seizing the

[174:22]

moment, summons a massive water cube

[174:24]

from the boundless ocean to imprison the

[174:26]

creature. He shouts to seal it, and the

[174:28]

vast mass of water instantly solidifies

[174:30]

around their enemy. The creature is

[174:32]

trapped, violently, pushing against the

[174:34]

cube's walls, and the group watches,

[174:36]

horrified, as the containment barrier

[174:38]

barely holds against its immense force.

[174:40]

The two brothers quickly conjure a root

[174:42]

shield to reinforce the structure. But a

[174:44]

comrade warns them it won't last long.

[174:46]

Nevertheless, they strain to maintain

[174:48]

the shield, bombarded by incessant

[174:50]

corrosive projectiles. [music] Chushing

[174:52]

he explains that while the water cube is

[174:53]

being corroded, it has at least

[174:55]

contained the monster. He suggests using

[174:57]

fire, but quickly realizes no one

[174:59]

present can wield that element directly.

[175:01]

Chinying then proposes creating

[175:03]

flammable plants, while another offers

[175:05]

to generate the necessary sparks using

[175:07]

his sword. She massive explosive plants

[175:10]

quickly sprout around the designated

[175:12]

warrior. He positions himself, ready to

[175:14]

unleash a devastating clash of sword key

[175:16]

to generate the spark. The energies

[175:18]

collide, creating the perfect ignition.

[175:20]

Fire engulfs the creature, but to their

[175:22]

horror, it merely splits in two,

[175:25]

revealing terrifying regenerative

[175:27]

capabilities. The resulting explosion

[175:29]

blasts Chu Singh backward. Midair, he

[175:31]

finds himself surrounded by the

[175:32]

creature's fragments, then pulled

[175:34]

skyward by sinister energy tentacles.

[175:36]

Chu Singh manages to recover amidst a

[175:39]

barrage of projectiles, assuring his

[175:41]

comrades he's fine. Chinying, however,

[175:43]

grimly warns that the rate they can

[175:45]

repair the shield simply can't keep up

[175:47]

with the relentless corrosion. Chuing

[175:49]

asks Lanch Chong Kong if he can control

[175:51]

the rain, but receives a disheartening

[175:52]

reply. For now, he can only manipulate

[175:55]

the already corroded water. Faced

[175:57]

[music] with this grim reality, one of

[175:59]

them suggests crossing the corrosive

[176:01]

zone to ignite the creature's core

[176:02]

directly. Another suddenly remembers the

[176:04]

spatial bubbles Nanza left behind. Even

[176:07]

without knowing if these bubbles would

[176:08]

truly guarantee their safety, the

[176:10]

protagonist's sister bravely charges

[176:12]

forward inside. One, understanding it's

[176:14]

the only chance they have left. The

[176:16]

spatial bubble slices through the

[176:17]

creature's body, and Chu Shingi

[176:19]

announces their defenses are holding

[176:20]

strong. His companions cheer,

[176:22]

celebrating the maneuver's success.

[176:24]

Nanzishan offers to heal him, but he

[176:26]

tells her to focus her holy light on the

[176:28]

corrosion. As their shield is about to

[176:30]

give way, she conjures a new shield of

[176:32]

holy light. The barrier manages to

[176:34]

contain the corrosion, but she warns

[176:36]

that with her current power, she can

[176:38]

only use it two more times. Chushingi

[176:40]

asserts that holding back the advance

[176:42]

for a few moments, even just [music]

[176:43]

twice, will be enough. He then asks her

[176:45]

to expand the barrier to protect

[176:47]

everyone, granting his request, she

[176:49]

expands the holy light shield. Inside

[176:51]

the creature, Chu Shinghi pushes forward

[176:53]

as the light carves a path ahead.

[176:55]

Moments later, he finally locates the

[176:56]

creature's core. Nanzishin begins to

[176:58]

falter, but insists he shouldn't worry

[177:00]

about her. A companion warns Su Chong to

[177:03]

act fast as the core will regenerate in

[177:05]

no time. Hearing this, Such Chong

[177:08]

commands his puppets to charge forward.

[177:10]

The wood element siblings receive orders

[177:12]

to implant explosive seeds into the

[177:14]

puppets. The puppets surge towards the

[177:16]

creature's core. However, as they draw

[177:18]

near, they're instantly disintegrated by

[177:20]

the core's defenses. Even so, with the

[177:22]

seeds now inside, a companion shouts for

[177:24]

Chu Shinghi to detonate them. He

[177:26]

activates his domain field, creating a

[177:28]

clash of sword chi to scatter the

[177:30]

sparks. The sparks hit the creature's

[177:31]

core directly. The core then explodes

[177:34]

from the inside out in a violent

[177:35]

detonation. The group rushes into a

[177:37]

spatial bubble just as the entire

[177:39]

aquatic cube threatens to explode. The

[177:41]

bubble shields them from the shock wave

[177:43]

that ripples across the battlefield.

[177:44]

Inside, Such Chang grumbles, asking how

[177:47]

long it's been since any of them took a

[177:49]

bath. Nanzi Shan replies that her family

[177:51]

has always valued cleanliness. Lan Chong

[177:53]

Kong takes offense, retorting that he

[177:55]

might look like an old pickle jar, but

[177:57]

he certainly doesn't smell like one.

[177:59]

Chinsuay then timidly admits the smell

[178:01]

might be hers. She explains that her

[178:03]

brother told her earth is precious, so

[178:05]

she avoided washing herself, leaving him

[178:07]

visibly mortified. One of their

[178:09]

companions laughs at the situation,

[178:11]

asking if they still need to be crammed

[178:13]

together now that the danger has passed.

[178:14]

[music] Agreeing, Nanzashan dispels the

[178:17]

bubble, and everyone finally spreads

[178:19]

out. She comments that there's an earthy

[178:21]

fragrance in the air, but it's not the

[178:22]

same pungent smell from before. Chinuay,

[178:25]

satisfied, concludes that she doesn't

[178:27]

need to take a bath. Then her brother

[178:28]

immediately retorts, "I don't think

[178:30]

that's what they meant." Lon Chong Kong

[178:32]

and another companion offer for her to

[178:34]

sniff them, but she recoils, insisting,

[178:36]

"It's not you guys either." Nanzishan

[178:39]

muses. "When you eliminate the

[178:40]

impossible, whatever remains, no matter

[178:42]

how improbable, must be the truth."

[178:44]

Chuingi then asks if she still has the

[178:47]

strength to heal him. She touches his

[178:48]

injured arm and asks, "Does it hurt?"

[178:50]

Then she smiles mischievously, adding,

[178:52]

"Just kidding. There's plenty of time to

[178:54]

take care of that later." Such Chang

[178:56]

dramatically shouts that he's in pain

[178:58]

and will surely die without treatment.

[179:00]

But Nanzan retorts, "No one's going to

[179:02]

think you're mute just because you stay

[179:04]

quiet." Under a nearby tree, he declares

[179:06]

his willingness to become a silent guard

[179:09]

dog for his brother's happiness, asking

[179:11]

the others to return while he remains on

[179:13]

watch. Lon Chong Kong states he'll stay

[179:15]

with him, and a colleague praises his

[179:17]

unwavering loyalty. Meanwhile, in

[179:19]

Antarctica, Chuen marvels that it's his

[179:21]

first time seeing real penguins. Nanzing

[179:24]

promises that after the war, she'll

[179:25]

summon back the spirits of their

[179:27]

friends. She then confirms she's capable

[179:29]

of both bringing victory [music] and

[179:30]

summoning penguins. Standing before

[179:32]

Earth's last source stone mine, he

[179:35]

affirms that this latest shipment should

[179:36]

be enough to sustain the war until their

[179:38]

final victory. [music] He extends his

[179:40]

hand and begins absorbing the energy

[179:42]

contained within the crystals. With the

[179:44]

source stones restored, he summons the

[179:46]

great legendary warriors of Antarctica

[179:48]

to reinforce Cath's fifth line of

[179:50]

defense. Immediately, ancient spirits

[179:53]

surge from the ground all around him.

[179:54]

Chutian asks why he'd summoned spirits

[179:56]

from all the lost nations except for

[179:58]

Salaria. And his answer comes with the

[180:00]

confession of a surprisingly selfish

[180:02]

desire. He then reveals his dream, a

[180:05]

world where humanity is finally free

[180:06]

from conflict, allowing ordinary people

[180:09]

to live in peace. Chutian calls him an

[180:11]

idealist, and she adds that she really

[180:13]

wants to see that day come so she can

[180:14]

have lots of penguin friends. He assures

[180:16]

her it will happen. Finally, Nanzying

[180:19]

decides it's time to pay a visit to the

[180:20]

Rift Reaper and opens a teleportation

[180:22]

portal. Before the Rift Reaper and its

[180:24]

army, Nanzying casually remarked they'd

[180:26]

picked a perfect spot for a graveyard.

[180:28]

The creature introduced himself as the

[180:30]

Rift Reaper, claiming to be a humble

[180:32]

admirer of Nanzi<unk>s reputation.

[180:34]

Takenback by such politeness, Nanzying

[180:37]

noted it was the clearest grasp of

[180:38]

language he'd ever heard from a monster.

[180:40]

The Rift Reaper claimed he could now

[180:42]

fully understand Nanziing, to which

[180:44]

Nanziing sarcastically replied he felt

[180:47]

flattered. Just then, Captain John

[180:49]

America burst onto the scene with his

[180:50]

soldiers, proudly declaring that America

[180:53]

had made the ideal decision for

[180:54]

humanity's future. He then raised his

[180:57]

mighty hammer and together with his

[180:58]

troops, they bellowed, "Long live

[181:00]

America!" Nanziing, thoroughly

[181:03]

disgusted, scoffed that their flare for

[181:05]

drama would be better put to use in

[181:06]

Hollywood. Infuriated by Nanzying's

[181:08]

continued laughter, the captain snared,

[181:11]

threatening to smash his face in. The

[181:12]

Rift Reaper, eyeing Jon, told him to

[181:14]

fight if he truly wished, stating he

[181:16]

needed to witness his worth in combat.

[181:18]

As the captain charged, Nanzying

[181:20]

dismissed him as a mere warm-up and

[181:22]

invited everyone to attack

[181:23]

simultaneously. Immediately, the captain

[181:25]

summoned what he thought was Thor's

[181:27]

hammer. Nanziing scoffed at the pathetic

[181:30]

energy of the attack, asking how he

[181:32]

dares to call himself Thor. Then

[181:34]

Nanziing summoned his own Thor's dragon,

[181:37]

a real one, and asked if his opponent

[181:39]

had ever seen a true Cath a dragon.

[181:41]

Declaring he'd teach the captain a

[181:42]

lesson, Nanzying unleashed a forbidden

[181:44]

spell, massively amplifying the

[181:46]

lightning element. An immense golden

[181:48]

lightning dragon manifested in the sky,

[181:50]

making the captain shriek in terror,

[181:52]

recognizing the creature. The golden

[181:54]

dragon lunged, absolutely devouring the

[181:57]

poultry lightning dragon summoned by the

[181:59]

captain. Captain America stared,

[182:01]

dumbfounded at the colossal creature.

[182:03]

utterly unable to comprehend such power.

[182:05]

[music] Desperately trying to resist, he

[182:07]

erected a lightning eegis for

[182:08]

protection. But the attack slammed into

[182:10]

him anyway, eliciting a scream of utter

[182:13]

disbelief. [music] Then the golden

[182:14]

dragon violently slammed him into the

[182:16]

ground, crushing him. Chuten, observing

[182:18]

the aftermath, snidly remarked on the

[182:21]

captain's obsession with greatness, and

[182:23]

the prominent letter stamped on his

[182:24]

helmet. The Rift Reaper turned to the

[182:26]

remaining soldiers, coldly stating that

[182:28]

the captain proved his uselessness in

[182:30]

death and that he wouldn't mind clearing

[182:32]

out the rest of the trash. But then,

[182:34]

Vice Captain Johnny America stepped

[182:36]

forward, rallying the soldiers to avenge

[182:38]

their fallen leader and prepare for a

[182:40]

suicidal counterattack. Nanziing

[182:42]

observed that these fools truly had no

[182:44]

intention of giving up and declared

[182:46]

they'd be the very first to experience

[182:48]

his newest technique. He then combined

[182:50]

and massively amplified the forbidden

[182:52]

spells of Razer Gale and Sonic Wave. The

[182:54]

devastating technique slammed directly

[182:56]

into the vice captain and his bewildered

[182:58]

soldiers. The resulting celestial tremor

[183:00]

engulfed them with eight desolate, souls

[183:02]

shattering howls. Nanzing remarked

[183:04]

they'd truly dug a fine tomb for

[183:06]

themselves and graciously offered to

[183:08]

help them find eternal rest. He then

[183:10]

manifested a protective earth dragon

[183:12]

around himself. The focused convergence

[183:14]

of sonic waves slammed into their

[183:16]

crumbling bastion. A soldier screamed as

[183:18]

his meager earth defense shattered

[183:20]

completely around him. The combatant was

[183:22]

thrown back, gasping, questioning how

[183:25]

one man could possibly master so many

[183:28]

powers. Nanzying sauntered over to the

[183:30]

fallen soldiers, telling them the answer

[183:32]

was simple. If they truly wish to be

[183:34]

great again, he then initiated an undead

[183:36]

summoning, ordering their spirits to

[183:38]

rise, fight for Earth, and reinforce

[183:40]

Cath's fifth line of defense. The

[183:42]

spectral forms of the fallen soldiers

[183:44]

rose from the ground. Spirits

[183:46]

reanimated, ready to bolster the lines

[183:48]

and fight once more in humanity's name.

[183:50]

The Rift Reaper, witnessing

[183:52]

Nanzying<unk>s immense power,

[183:53]

acknowledged his true value and declared

[183:55]

that a grand battle between them was now

[183:57]

inevitable. Nanzing conceded this was

[183:59]

the most cunning alien he'd ever faced,

[184:02]

almost finding himself admiring the

[184:04]

creature for it. Still, he reminded

[184:06]

himself an enemy is an enemy and

[184:07]

commanded his spirits to charge forward

[184:09]

in an infernal assault for Earth. The

[184:11]

creature then proposed a wager, rapidly

[184:14]

spinning in the air with surprising

[184:15]

agility. It suggested a battle of wits

[184:18]

with the loser swearing feelalty to the

[184:20]

victor. Nanzying accepted the wager but

[184:22]

swiftly altered the terms. If the rift

[184:24]

reaper won, Nanzing died, but if

[184:26]

Nanzying won, he'd only accept the

[184:28]

creature's service if it could prove its

[184:30]

true worth. He then manifested a reverse

[184:32]

cyclone to counterattack. The cyclone

[184:34]

violently collided with the creature's

[184:36]

fiery assault. The Rift Reaper accepted

[184:38]

the revised terms without a moment's

[184:40]

hesitation, clearly eager for the

[184:42]

impending confrontation. Immediately, a

[184:44]

relentless barrage of fireballs streaked

[184:46]

towards Nanziing. He calmly erected an

[184:49]

energy barrier, shielding himself from

[184:51]

the onslaught. Then he amplified a

[184:53]

glacial formation by a staggering 50

[184:55]

times. His amplified ice attack slammed

[184:57]

into the fireballs, triggering a massive

[184:59]

earthshaking explosion across the entire

[185:02]

battlefield. Amidst a series of

[185:03]

explosions, the Rift Reaper condenses a

[185:06]

massive sphere of attack. The fiery orb

[185:08]

h hurtles straight towards a glacial

[185:10]

barrier erected by Nanzeeing, who

[185:12]

declares he'll amplify his ice formation

[185:14]

a hundfold. But even as the icy

[185:16]

structure rapidly expands, it's

[185:18]

violently annihilated by a direct hit.

[185:20]

The Rift Reaper scoffs, deeming the

[185:21]

formation insufficient and then calls

[185:23]

forth a devastating rain of celestial

[185:25]

fire meteors. Seeing the incandescent

[185:28]

shower approaching, Nanzing realizes

[185:30]

there's no other choice. He has to use

[185:32]

his ultimate move, something he's never

[185:34]

unleashed before. Raising his power, he

[185:36]

activates the forbidden spell over

[185:38]

Overdrive, initiating Star Genesis to

[185:40]

force the meteors to converge. With a

[185:42]

cosmic shift, he completely takes

[185:44]

control of the attack, ordering all the

[185:46]

projectiles to veer away from Earth and

[185:48]

return to the cosmos. The Rift Reaper

[185:50]

gapes, questioning if Nanzying can truly

[185:53]

manipulate stars, and why he'd never use

[185:55]

such power to protect the planet before.

[185:57]

Advancing, Nanzing retorts that

[185:59]

cyclones, projectiles, and even fire

[186:01]

meteors are now utterly useless against

[186:04]

him. He challenges the reaper to show

[186:05]

any other tricks it might still possess,

[186:07]

then prepares to strike with the Assura

[186:09]

Dragon Hunter technique. Nanziing deafly

[186:12]

dodges the creature's incoming attack,

[186:14]

commenting that if he had a choice, he

[186:15]

wouldn't be brawling with it. But since

[186:17]

the Rift Reaper clearly has no intention

[186:19]

of surrendering, their little chat can

[186:21]

wait until after the fight. Immediately,

[186:23]

he reactivates the forbidden spell,

[186:25]

Overdrive, to summon a colossal magma

[186:27]

dragon. With a command to advance, the

[186:29]

fiery beast lunges at its opponent. The

[186:32]

clash between their two immense powers

[186:34]

triggers a cataclysmic explosion.

[186:36]

Nanziing observes that with this move,

[186:38]

their forces are now evenly matched. The

[186:40]

magma dragon grapples with the Rift

[186:42]

Reaper, managing to immobilize it. With

[186:44]

the creature pinned, the young hero

[186:46]

decides to add the Assura's infernal

[186:48]

slash to the attack. The Rift Reaper

[186:50]

reacts violently, making Nanzing wonder

[186:52]

if it activated some kind of earthquake

[186:54]

ability. Analyzing the situation, he

[186:56]

deduces the monster's weak point must be

[186:58]

its back, as it made an obvious effort

[187:00]

to protect it while its tail was already

[187:02]

restrained by the dragon. Now that he's

[187:04]

found the vulnerability, he declares the

[187:06]

fight will become simple and begins

[187:07]

preparing another forbidden spell.

[187:09]

Harnessing the earth element, he invokes

[187:11]

the Earth's multiple convergence, then

[187:13]

gathers energy from the lightning

[187:14]

element and finally unleashes the myriad

[187:16]

tribulations of lightning. Pummeled by

[187:19]

the successive attacks, the Rift Reaper

[187:21]

shouts for him to stop, declaring its

[187:23]

surrender. The creature then offers to

[187:24]

submit and serve Nanzi for life. But

[187:27]

Nanzying is skeptical. How could he

[187:29]

trust an alien, especially one so

[187:31]

intelligent? He demands to know how it

[187:33]

will prove its worth and loyalty. At

[187:35]

that instant, the electrical attack is

[187:36]

suspended midair. He reminds the

[187:38]

creature about its unsatisfactory

[187:41]

descending lightning tribulation, a

[187:43]

subtle threat. The Rift Reaper claims to

[187:45]

understand his concerns and proposes a

[187:47]

gamble, asking Nanzying to recall the

[187:49]

magma dragon so it can use its own tail.

[187:51]

Nanziing dismisses the idea of any

[187:53]

gamble, stating the creature wouldn't

[187:55]

win a rematch anyway, and the monster

[187:57]

thanks him for his wisdom. The creature

[187:59]

then raises its own tail, revealing its

[188:01]

final vulnerability. It explains that

[188:03]

these are its descendants, the last

[188:05]

seeds for the continuation of its

[188:06]

civilization and entrusts them into his

[188:09]

care. Stunned, Nanzing questions if he

[188:11]

should truly shoulder such a

[188:12]

responsibility, and the Rift Reaper

[188:14]

confirms unequivocally. Nanzying poisons

[188:17]

his blade, interrogating how he can be

[188:19]

sure these descendants aren't some kind

[188:21]

of weapon, or if the creature is simply

[188:23]

trying to use him to facilitate a

[188:24]

greater invasion scheme. Without a word,

[188:26]

Nanziing slashes the Rift Reaper's back

[188:29]

with his blade. Dark Liquid gushes from

[188:31]

the gaping wound in the creature's body.

[188:33]

The Rift Reaper explains it

[188:34]

intentionally didn't activate any

[188:36]

defenses, allowing the attack to strike

[188:38]

it down, and asks if Nanziing can trust

[188:40]

it now. Nanziing replies he only trusts

[188:43]

halfway, but demands to know the reason

[188:45]

behind this drastic action. The creature

[188:47]

then explains that its race and humanity

[188:49]

are in essence [music] equal, both

[188:51]

having been invaded and pushed to the

[188:52]

brink of annihilation. Deep down, it too

[188:55]

is an adversary to the true invaders.

[188:57]

Nanziing challenges the audacity of an

[188:59]

invader calling itself an adversary,

[189:01]

asking if there are no limits to what it

[189:03]

would do just to survive. The Rift

[189:04]

Reaper responds that this doubt exists

[189:06]

because Nanziing doesn't yet know the

[189:08]

truth behind the 10,000 races invasion.

[189:10]

It reveals that everything is merely a

[189:12]

game orchestrated by a superior

[189:14]

civilization called the Celestials and

[189:16]

Earth is just the chosen arena for a

[189:18]

pre-duel cleanse. In light of this,

[189:20]

Nanzying questions if in their eyes

[189:23]

humans aren't even qualified to

[189:24]

participate, merely treated like ants

[189:26]

destined to be swatted aside. The Rift

[189:28]

Reaper confirms and Nanziing presses him

[189:31]

for details about his race and the

[189:33]

so-called celestials invasion. The

[189:35]

creature begins explaining that his

[189:37]

people, the sky scorpions, once thrived

[189:39]

on planet N66, rulers of their world.

[189:42]

Millions of years of evolution, wars,

[189:44]

and conflicts eventually forged them

[189:46]

into a civilization founded on peace and

[189:49]

tolerance. But that harmony was

[189:50]

short-lived. A celestial descended upon

[189:53]

their planet. The entity demanded they

[189:54]

participate in the 10,000 races

[189:56]

tournament. Their refusal was met with a

[189:58]

brutal, massive assault from its

[190:00]

warriors. The cost was catastrophic. A

[190:02]

celestial's power operated on a scale

[190:04]

utterly alien to their own. Comrades and

[190:06]

kin fell one after another. The

[190:08]

Celestial seemed to command all cosmic

[190:10]

elements. The entire war lasted less

[190:12]

than half an hour. Their defeat was

[190:14]

absolute, pushing them to choose

[190:16]

annihilation over a life of servitude.

[190:18]

As the sole survivor, he was branded a

[190:20]

traitor, but he couldn't bear to watch

[190:22]

his civilization vanish due to a blind

[190:24]

challenge forcing him into this twisted

[190:27]

hunting game. Nanzying reels, a whole

[190:29]

race wiped out in less than 30 minutes.

[190:31]

He asks why the Rift Reaper chose to bet

[190:33]

everything on him. The Rift Reaper

[190:35]

responds that he sensed an aura within

[190:37]

Nanzying, disturbingly similar to that

[190:39]

of the Celestials. Shocked, Nanzying

[190:42]

demands to know how that's even

[190:43]

possible. The creature explains that

[190:45]

while faint, the essence was identical.

[190:47]

The elemental control Nanzi displayed in

[190:49]

battle was unmistakable proof. Nanziing

[190:52]

then grapples with his past life, his

[190:54]

rebirth, [music] wondering if it all

[190:56]

ties back to these celestials and their

[190:58]

true terrifying objective. The Rift

[191:00]

Reaper adds that he also sensed

[191:02]

something resonating with his own races

[191:04]

civilization within Nanzi. That's why he

[191:06]

chose submission over death. Nanzing

[191:08]

asks what value he, the Rift Reaper,

[191:10]

could possibly offer. The creature

[191:12]

responds, "He can obliterate any alien

[191:14]

below S-rank, and he understands the

[191:16]

mechanics of the void gate." Nanzing

[191:18]

sets his conditions. The monster must

[191:19]

obey his every command until the war

[191:21]

ends. In return, he'll ensure the Rift

[191:23]

Reaper's return to his home planet. The

[191:26]

creature bows low, expressing profound

[191:28]

gratitude. Next, Nanzi calls for Chuen,

[191:31]

announcing it's time to head back. She

[191:33]

responds instantly. The young woman is

[191:35]

visibly startled to see the monster

[191:36]

still alive. Nanziing introduces him as

[191:39]

Reaver, the newest member of their

[191:40]

squad. He then asks her to teleport them

[191:43]

back to the void gate battlefield,

[191:44]

promising a full explanation on route.

[191:46]

Chutian agrees, activating the spatial

[191:48]

teleportation. A shimmering portal tears

[191:51]

open before them. Just then, she

[191:52]

realizes Reaver is far too massive to be

[191:54]

transported in one go. The Rift Reaper

[191:56]

apologizes, explaining he can shrink or

[191:59]

assume a humanoid form, though it would

[192:01]

cost him his combat abilities. Nanzi

[192:03]

Ying accepts the condition and Reaver

[192:05]

agrees to transform. The creature's

[192:07]

colossal body begins to contort,

[192:09]

morphing. [music] His silhouette

[192:10]

shimmers, twisting into completely alien

[192:12]

features. In his new form, the creature

[192:14]

asks if this appearance is acceptable.

[192:16]

Chuen declares that for reasons unknown,

[192:19]

she suddenly feels an overwhelming urge

[192:21]

to punch something. Nanziing, hand

[192:23]

pressed to his face, confesses his fists

[192:26]

spontaneously clenched, too. Given this,

[192:28]

Nanziing requests Reaver try for a male

[192:30]

human form that actually aligns with

[192:33]

Earth's aesthetic. The creature's body

[192:35]

is once again engulfed in swirling

[192:37]

energy as the transformation restarts.

[192:39]

In his new new appearance, Reaver asks

[192:41]

again if this is acceptable. Nanziing

[192:44]

and Chuen stare, utterly dumbfounded.

[192:46]

Moments later, they both lunge at him,

[192:48]

exasperated, demanding to know how he

[192:50]

could so thoroughly misunderstand human

[192:52]

aesthetics, why in the hell his tail was

[192:54]

in the front. Reaver apologizes,

[192:56]

admitting he still has much to learn as

[192:58]

his form undergoes further adjustments.

[193:00]

Nanziing finally concedes, "Now that's

[193:02]

much better." Chuchian hands him some

[193:04]

fabric to cover himself, which he

[193:06]

accepts with polite gratitude. Back at

[193:08]

the void gate battlefield, Lan Chong

[193:10]

Kong remarks to Chu Shinghi that the

[193:12]

gate [music] has been eerily quiet for

[193:14]

hours. Chu Shingh agrees, noting the

[193:16]

teleport seemed to follow a pattern.

[193:18]

Suddenly, a portal rips open, making Lan

[193:20]

Chang Kong exclaim, "There is a

[193:22]

pattern." Both immediately snap into

[193:23]

combat stances, yelling to identify the

[193:26]

approaching figure. They quickly notice

[193:28]

it doesn't look human. Just then,

[193:29]

Nanziing steps out of the portal,

[193:31]

casually introducing his new comrade, an

[193:34]

S-rank alien named Reaver. The other two

[193:36]

are left utterly flabbergasted. Reaver

[193:38]

explains they don't need to stand guard

[193:40]

all night. The gate typically only

[193:41]

activates at dawn for most aliens.

[193:43]

Nanzying then asks for the method to

[193:46]

close the void gate. The creature

[193:47]

reveals that each invading race has its

[193:49]

own unique passage. Reaver elaborates.

[193:51]

They must cross this passage, wipe out

[193:53]

the aliens on the other side, and

[193:55]

destroy their teleportation hub to

[193:57]

permanently halt that race's invasions.

[193:59]

Nanziing questions if the command center

[194:01]

couldn't simply be rebuilt after its

[194:03]

destruction. The creature confirms it

[194:05]

could be, but clarifies that the game's

[194:07]

rules forbid it. Finally, Reaver

[194:09]

concludes that once a hub is destroyed,

[194:11]

the so-called celestials simply

[194:13]

annihilate that entire race. As the

[194:15]

group debates the entity's true nature

[194:17]

and whether they can even hope to defeat

[194:19]

it, Nanzi Ying cuts through the tension,

[194:21]

suggesting they just take it one step at

[194:23]

a time. Chu Shinghi proposes shelving

[194:25]

that discussion for now and heading back

[194:27]

to the cabin, pointing out there won't

[194:29]

be any new attacks until dawn anyway.

[194:31]

Chuen readily agrees, preparing to

[194:33]

teleport them back to regroup with the

[194:34]

rest of their companions. Back at the

[194:36]

cabin, everyone gathers around a table

[194:38]

absolutely loaded with food. Sunley

[194:41]

remarks that he never thought an enemy

[194:42]

would ever become an ally. Susan chimes

[194:45]

in saying, "New friends are always a

[194:47]

good thing." And warmly invites Reaver

[194:48]

not to hesitate, urging him to make

[194:50]

himself at home. Rever mutters to

[194:52]

himself, reminding himself not to

[194:54]

hesitate, to truly consider this place

[194:56]

his home. Then, without a moment's

[194:58]

pause, he lunges forward and devours

[195:00]

every single scrap of food on the table

[195:02]

in a single ravenous instant. With his

[195:04]

face smeared in grease, he innocently

[195:06]

asks if he was too polite and if perhaps

[195:09]

he could get another plate. As the

[195:10]

others promptly dogpile Reaver, Susishan

[195:13]

just shrugs, commenting that their

[195:15]

culture is vast and he clearly still has

[195:18]

much to learn. The chaos quickly

[195:19]

culminates with Reaver being

[195:20]

unceremoniously yeated out of the house.

[195:23]

Lying bruised outside, he laments that

[195:25]

if he'd only known, he would have just

[195:27]

asked for 10 tables of food right off

[195:29]

the bat. Faced with this culinary

[195:31]

catastrophe, the group decides there's

[195:33]

no choice but to start cooking all over

[195:34]

again. This time, a proper barbecue

[195:37]

feast. Chinying and Chinuay waste no

[195:40]

time using their powers to instantly

[195:42]

plant and harvest fresh vegetables. Lon

[195:44]

Chiang Kong then uses his power to wash

[195:46]

all the ingredients clean in a single

[195:48]

go. Next up, Chu Shingi and Sunli team

[195:51]

up, deafly slicing and dicing the

[195:53]

vegetables. And for the main event,

[195:55]

Nanziing takes charge, roasting a whole

[195:57]

pig's head to perfection using his raw

[195:59]

electrical power. Reaver watches every

[196:01]

move with laser focus, utterly

[196:03]

determined not to mess up this time.

[196:05]

Nanzing sternly warns him to at least

[196:08]

wait until everyone else has eaten

[196:10]

before pouncing on the leftovers. Once

[196:11]

everyone is settled, Nanzing announces

[196:14]

their grand plan. They'll be entering

[196:15]

the void gate tomorrow. He then

[196:17]

immediately assigns Reaver the crucial

[196:19]

task of eliminating any creatures that

[196:21]

emerge from it. When someone asks how

[196:23]

they'll handle another S-rank alien

[196:25]

threat, Suchanga's chilling suggestion

[196:27]

is to utilize the countless bodies still

[196:29]

scattered outside with Reaver's unique

[196:32]

assistance. Someone quickly pipes up

[196:34]

protesting his rather gruesome choice of

[196:36]

words, but Su Chang simply shrugs,

[196:38]

confident his point was made. Meanwhile,

[196:40]

Su Lang and Chenier ask for permission

[196:42]

to head straight to the battlefield for

[196:44]

some intense training. They argue that

[196:46]

now, armed with knowledge of the enemy's

[196:48]

patterns, [music] they can evolve even

[196:49]

faster. Nanzying readily agrees,

[196:52]

integrating them into Su Chang's combat

[196:54]

group, while he, Chu Tien, and the main

[196:56]

party prepare for direct entry into the

[196:58]

gate. Zu Yuan then shrewdly suggests

[197:01]

that everyone share the hard one lessons

[197:03]

from the past two days of grueling

[197:05]

battles. The group dives into a serious

[197:07]

debate, brainstorming ways to refine

[197:09]

their techniques, concoct deadlier

[197:11]

poisons, evolve their elemental systems,

[197:13]

and forge even more potent healing

[197:15]

items. The very next day, on the

[197:17]

desolate battlefield, the void gate rips

[197:19]

open, unleashing a terrifying horde of

[197:22]

alien creatures. Nanziing barks orders

[197:25]

for everyone to brace for combat, then

[197:27]

tells Chuen to teleport them straight

[197:29]

into the fray. Chuen activates her

[197:31]

spatial link, initiating the jump. A

[197:33]

shimmering portal tears open, and she

[197:35]

gestures for everyone to follow, ready

[197:37]

to invade whatever lies beyond. [music]

[197:39]

The group arrives at their destination,

[197:41]

disoriented and reeling from intense

[197:43]

dizziness. Nanziing quickly instructs

[197:45]

them to stay calm and harmonize their

[197:47]

breathing. As they take in their

[197:48]

surroundings, they notice multiple

[197:50]

shimmering portals, quickly realizing

[197:52]

that the rank of the alien races within

[197:54]

is dictated by the depth of each

[197:56]

passage. Given this critical insight,

[197:58]

Nanzing decides they'll start with a

[198:00]

lowranking races passage just to gauge

[198:02]

the situation. As soon as they step

[198:04]

through, they're struck by how utterly

[198:06]

different the environment is from the

[198:08]

outside world, clearly terraformed to

[198:10]

suit the alien race of this particular

[198:12]

realm. Nearby, two guards idly chat,

[198:15]

commenting that their planet's main

[198:16]

forces are set to arrive the very next

[198:18]

day. Suddenly, the gate right behind

[198:20]

them is violently shattered. The group

[198:23]

emerges from the swirling dust and

[198:25]

debris right where the gate once stood.

[198:27]

Ahead, they spot a massive city built

[198:29]

entirely of stone, instantly concluding

[198:32]

that the teleportation axis must be

[198:34]

located somewhere deep inside. A squad

[198:37]

of enemy warriors charges forward,

[198:38]

bellowing about ants invading their

[198:40]

territory and demanding their immediate

[198:42]

extermination. Nanziang doesn't

[198:44]

hesitate. He prepares to unleash a

[198:46]

devastating assault, activating the

[198:48]

forbidden spell windblade overlay. An

[198:50]

enormous swirling whirlwind of razor

[198:52]

sharp blades erupts from his movements.

[198:55]

Moments later, the entire stone city is

[198:57]

engulfed in a devastating sequence of

[198:59]

explosions. A terrifying message

[199:01]

flashes. Game over for Jyn Shiking as

[199:03]

their entire planet explodes into cosmic

[199:06]

dust. His utterly stunned companions can

[199:08]

only gape, wondering if they made a

[199:10]

colossal mistake even coming here.

[199:13]

Witnessing an entire world obliterated

[199:15]

with a single attack. Amidst the

[199:17]

destruction, Nanziing notices something

[199:19]

peculiar. His source stone wasn't

[199:21]

consumed. He quickly deduces that the

[199:23]

sheer energy of the void gate must have

[199:25]

somehow nullified that requirement.

[199:27]

However, his relief is short-lived as a

[199:29]

strange ominous mark begins to

[199:31]

inexplicably form on his hand. He

[199:33]

wonders if the mysterious mark is the

[199:35]

price for using his powers within the

[199:37]

gate and what the ultimate cost will be.

[199:39]

Jug Yuan notices something is off and

[199:42]

asks what's wrong, but Nanzing simply

[199:44]

brushes him off, urging the group to

[199:46]

move faster. The sooner they shut down

[199:47]

the teleportation axis, the safer Hakia

[199:50]

will be. Jug Yuan observes his strange

[199:52]

expression, but decides to save his

[199:54]

questions for their return. Nanziing

[199:56]

instructs each member to enter a

[199:58]

different gate to handle their assigned

[200:00]

enemies while he takes responsibility

[200:02]

for the S-rank threats. Advancing, he

[200:04]

approaches an area where the portals

[200:06]

pulse with greater intensity. Concluding

[200:08]

that this must be where the S-rank alien

[200:10]

races are emerging, he keenly observes

[200:13]

the patterns on the portals. Wondering

[200:14]

if only ranks above S receive such

[200:17]

unique designs, he recognizes the

[200:19]

familiar bat symbol of an S-rank race

[200:21]

he's encountered on the battlefield

[200:23]

before. However, the Rift Reaper's

[200:25]

pattern is faint, making him wonder if

[200:27]

the race is extinct with only Reaver

[200:29]

left. Determined, he dashes towards one

[200:31]

of the portals, ready to eliminate those

[200:33]

familiar faces first. As he bursts

[200:35]

through the passage, he questions if any

[200:38]

residual mental power lingers in this

[200:39]

place. While moving forward, he reflects

[200:42]

on the gate being one way and why the

[200:44]

entity doesn't unleash all races

[200:45]

simultaneously. He also can't shake the

[200:48]

unsettling thought. Is this divine

[200:49]

entity doing all of this just for its

[200:51]

twisted amusement? Meanwhile, in another

[200:53]

desolate landscape, various grotesque

[200:56]

creatures march in a disciplined line

[200:58]

towards a portal. Two of them chatter

[200:59]

excitedly, commenting that today is

[201:02]

teleportation day. One reassures the

[201:04]

other, boasting about how easily they'll

[201:06]

crush the inferior races awaiting them.

[201:08]

Nanzi Ying smashes through the passage

[201:10]

just as the portal shatters behind him.

[201:12]

The alien creatures are utterly

[201:14]

bewildered by his untimely arrival. It

[201:16]

wasn't the designated time for teleports

[201:18]

yet. They frantically wonder if this is

[201:20]

a counterattack from the ants. But

[201:22]

Nanziing advances without a hint of

[201:24]

hesitation. Their leader immediately

[201:26]

barks orders. Prepare for battle and

[201:28]

launch a full-scale mental assault.

[201:30]

Nanzying realizes this is an incredibly

[201:32]

powerful collective mental attack. Faced

[201:35]

with the onslaught, he concentrates,

[201:37]

raising a full force mental defense.

[201:40]

Suddenly, two creatures join forces,

[201:42]

launching a seductive illusion while the

[201:44]

others offer support. Two alluring

[201:46]

female figures materialize, inviting him

[201:48]

to relax. As they begin to massage his

[201:50]

tense muscles, they whisper sweet

[201:52]

nothings, urging him to surrender to

[201:54]

pleasure and forget the fight, the pain,

[201:56]

everything. For a fleeting instant, he

[201:58]

seems to yield, murmuring, [music] "I

[202:00]

will." But then his eyes snap open, and

[202:02]

he completes his sentence with a snarl.

[202:04]

"I will curse your ancestors." He lashes

[202:07]

out, striking one of the illusory

[202:09]

figures. Nanzi Ying scoffs. How utterly

[202:12]

you underestimate the human race,

[202:14]

resorting to such simplistic tricks. The

[202:16]

creature reels, realizing their

[202:18]

intelligence was gravely flawed and

[202:20]

their attack has failed. The alien then

[202:22]

tries to establish a direct thought

[202:23]

link, but Nanziing immediately severs

[202:26]

the connection. Don't even dream about

[202:27]

it, he growls, raising his weapon, he

[202:30]

declares, "All of you die." The alien

[202:32]

leader in turn realizes with a jolt that

[202:35]

they've finally encountered someone

[202:36]

truly important. In a desperate move,

[202:39]

the creatures transform, morphing into

[202:41]

the appearances of Nanzing's own

[202:43]

companions. But Nanzing merely scoffs at

[202:45]

their idiocy for thinking such a shallow

[202:47]

trick would work against him. Then he

[202:49]

unleashes his devastating attack. Hell

[202:51]

on Earth! The creatures are instantly

[202:53]

engulfed by the technique's overwhelming

[202:56]

power. With a single decisive movement

[202:58]

of his blade, he commands them all to

[203:00]

vanish from the face of the earth.

[203:01]

Muttering to himself, he observes, "That

[203:03]

was much easier than last time." He

[203:06]

immediately prepares for his next

[203:07]

challenge, the Sonic Bat King. The enemy

[203:10]

retaliates with a focused sonic wave,

[203:12]

but a majestic dragon spirit erupts to

[203:14]

intercept the blow. The resonant dragon

[203:16]

roar completely repels the adversar's

[203:18]

attack. After the ensuing explosion,

[203:20]

Nanzi Ying declares, "The fight is

[203:22]

over." Moments later, he feels the

[203:24]

mysterious mark on his hand reappear. He

[203:26]

deduces that this mark is the price for

[203:28]

bypassing the use of source stones. Even

[203:30]

with his current insufficient supply,

[203:32]

winning the war remains the absolute

[203:34]

priority. He steals himself, ready to

[203:36]

face the next threat, the spectre of

[203:38]

decadence. Meanwhile, Chutien floats,

[203:41]

safely nestled within a protective

[203:43]

bubble in the passage between portals.

[203:45]

She observes everyone's progress,

[203:47]

lamenting that she didn't bring any

[203:49]

grilled eggplant to distract herself as

[203:51]

she currently has no active role to

[203:53]

play. Suddenly, a massive explosion of

[203:56]

fire erupts directly in front of her

[203:58]

protective sphere. Startled, Chuen spots

[204:00]

an alien and realizes to her horror that

[204:03]

she can't move. In the very next

[204:05]

instant, a gigantic dragon bursts forth,

[204:07]

roaring with incredible force. The

[204:09]

dragon lunges to devour Chutien, who

[204:11]

screams for dear life. Nanziing,

[204:14]

shouting her name, charges the monstrous

[204:15]

creature. He swiftly prepares a

[204:17]

forbidden thunder spell, trapping the

[204:19]

beast in a devastating thunder

[204:20]

desolation prison, then urgently

[204:23]

commands Chiny and Chinsui to rescue the

[204:25]

girl. As a mysterious figure dashes

[204:27]

toward one of the portals, Chinying and

[204:29]

Chinsui quickly arrive on the scene.

[204:31]

Chinsui cradles Chu Tian in his arms.

[204:34]

the siblings comforting her. Chinying

[204:36]

notes, "She's still just a kid, even if

[204:38]

she is the eldest among us." But Chu

[204:40]

Tian scoffs, denying any fear. "Why

[204:42]

would I be scared if you aren't?" A

[204:44]

massive lightning bolt strikes the

[204:46]

dragon headon, but the thunder attack

[204:48]

soon dissipates and its spatial prison

[204:50]

shatters. Nanzing realizes the beast is

[204:52]

escaping and immediately telepathically

[204:55]

alerts Su Chung. Meanwhile, at the fort

[204:57]

gate, the Rift Reaper unleashes a

[204:59]

devastating volley of celestial fire

[205:01]

meteors, triggering a chain of

[205:03]

explosions that decimate the enemy

[205:04]

ranks. The group murmurs, "His Srank

[205:07]

isn't just hype. He absolutely crushes

[205:09]

anything below him." The Reaper

[205:11]

transforms back to his original form,

[205:13]

boasting, "Just a little warm-up." His

[205:15]

allies scoff. Keep fighting. Don't get

[205:17]

cocky. He sheepishly apologizes.

[205:19]

Nanziing telepathically warns Su Chen.

[205:22]

An S-rank Sky Dragon is inbound,

[205:24]

wielding a breath that can freeze time

[205:26]

and space. Su Chang acknowledges the

[205:28]

grim message just as the creature

[205:30]

lunges, unleashing its devastating

[205:32]

attack. The Rift Reaper is warned to

[205:34]

watch out for the dragon's breath, but

[205:36]

the beast roaring traitor releases its

[205:39]

freezing blast, and the Reaper realizes

[205:41]

it's already too late. Su Chang tries to

[205:44]

activate his celestial puppet threads,

[205:46]

but finds himself utterly immobilized.

[205:48]

Undeterred, he somehow manages to weave

[205:50]

a celestial net, attempting to ensnare

[205:53]

the dragon and sever its contract. But

[205:54]

the dragon simply lets loose another icy

[205:57]

breath, and Such Chung gasps. Even his

[205:59]

legendary puppet threads are frozen

[206:01]

solid, rendering him completely

[206:03]

powerless. Determined to save the Rift

[206:05]

Reaper, one of their companions slams an

[206:07]

attack into the ground to shatter his

[206:09]

icy prison. The impact frees the Reaper,

[206:12]

but Su Chang roars his name in concern.

[206:14]

Su Ling quickly unleashes her sacred

[206:17]

light healing, mending his wounds. Su

[206:19]

Chang glares at the dragon, declaring,

[206:21]

"The Rift Reaper is my ally now. You

[206:23]

want him? You'll have to go through me

[206:25]

first." A surge of emotion washes over

[206:27]

the Reaper. He murmurs, "Comrades!"

[206:29]

Suling, ever pragmatic, scolds him.

[206:31]

"Stop whining about such a tiny

[206:33]

scratch." Chenier shouts a warning to

[206:35]

Such Chung. "Watch out for that incoming

[206:37]

breath. Its time and space freezing

[206:39]

lasts for 10 seconds." Such Chung

[206:41]

scoffs, "Paralysis arts! My ancestors

[206:44]

were playing with tricks like that when

[206:45]

your entire dragon race was still in an

[206:47]

egg. The dragon roars, charging him and

[206:49]

calling him a fool. But Such Chung

[206:51]

simply unleashes an entire army of

[206:53]

puppets. As the puppets morph into

[206:55]

fierce forms, Chener warns everyone,

[206:57]

"Careful of their claws." The dragon is

[207:00]

battered by a flurry of piercing

[207:01]

strikes, but it retaliates fiercely,

[207:04]

swinging its massive tail and slamming

[207:06]

directly into Suchen. Realizing their

[207:08]

communication is too slow, Chenier

[207:11]

decides it's time for a new tactic. Just

[207:13]

then, Suang activates their perception

[207:15]

link, sharing senses across the entire

[207:18]

team. Immediately, Chener unleashes the

[207:21]

full power of her eye of prediction,

[207:23]

shouting, "I can only hold this for 10

[207:25]

seconds." Seizing the moment, Such Chang

[207:27]

commands the Rift Reaper to provide

[207:29]

cover. The Reaper responds instantly,

[207:31]

launching another barrage of celestial

[207:33]

fire meteors. Simultaneously, the dragon

[207:36]

unleashes its devastating freezing

[207:38]

breath. But Such Chang, capitalizing on

[207:40]

the opening, lunges forward, striking

[207:42]

with his celestial net and commanding it

[207:45]

to rip the monstrous foe to shreds. Such

[207:47]

changed his celestial net, commanding it

[207:50]

to obliterate the creature. He yanked

[207:52]

the threads with all his might, roaring

[207:54]

for the dragon to be torn to shreds. The

[207:56]

beast fought back, a dangerous energy

[207:58]

brewing in its maw. Su Changen, noticing

[208:01]

the reverse scale on its forehead

[208:02]

granted regeneration, started predicting

[208:05]

its every move. The dragon tried to

[208:07]

unleash its power, but Su Chang stopped

[208:09]

it at the very last second. [music] With

[208:10]

the threads taught, he ripped the

[208:12]

reverse scale from the creature's

[208:13]

forehead, vowing to turn it into a mere

[208:15]

worm. Holding the scale in his hand, he

[208:18]

declared it his. The [music] dragon's

[208:20]

body began to crumble, and Su Chang

[208:22]

announced the fight was over. But the

[208:24]

overwhelming effort took its toll.

[208:26]

[music] Su Lang and Chenier collapsed,

[208:28]

dragging Su Chenge down with them. He

[208:30]

quickly scooped the two young women into

[208:32]

his arms, shouting their names. Visibly

[208:34]

distraught, Reaver rushed over, offering

[208:36]

to carry one of them, but Suling

[208:38]

intervened, assuring them it wasn't

[208:40]

necessary. She then conjured a healing

[208:42]

dome around the group. Inside the dome,

[208:44]

Chena remarked that they were finally no

[208:46]

longer a burden to the team. Such chang

[208:48]

thanked them for breaking the stalemate,

[208:50]

only to be met with the reply that no

[208:51]

one here was expendable. He then offered

[208:53]

them a vial, explaining it was a rapid

[208:55]

recovery medicine created by Chen Leani.

[208:58]

Suang scoffed, saying it was rare to

[209:00]

hear kind words from him, while Chener

[209:02]

added that she thought a dog's mouth

[209:04]

only knew how to bark. Su Chang merely

[209:06]

stared at her in silent disbelief. The

[209:08]

two fully recovered, surprised by the

[209:10]

medicine's potency. He then asked what

[209:12]

they planned to do now that their

[209:13]

strength was restored. With a grin, Su

[209:15]

Chang declared he was going to escape

[209:17]

the girl who complained about his two

[209:19]

kind words, then swept her into his

[209:21]

arms. Su Lang watched them leave,

[209:23]

commenting on how incredibly childish

[209:25]

they both were. Reaver added that the

[209:27]

scene reminded him of his own childhood

[209:28]

chasing sunsets on his home planet.

[209:31]

Meanwhile, Chinying and Chin Sui geared

[209:33]

up to test their new techniques on the

[209:35]

final teleportation axis. Chinuay first

[209:37]

conjured the Abyssal Wood, then

[209:39]

unleashed the sky pillar tomb seal.

[209:41]

Without missing a beat, Chinyang

[209:43]

prepared his assault, striking with the

[209:45]

Earthroot annihilation, causing the

[209:47]

structure to violently collapse. The

[209:48]

siblings combined attack triggered a

[209:50]

series of consecutive explosions.

[209:52]

Chinsuay commented that the destructive

[209:54]

power of their new technique was

[209:56]

incredibly satisfying. Chiny credited Su

[209:58]

Chang with the idea, agreeing. She noted

[210:01]

her brother's strength had grown, and he

[210:02]

confirmed it, explaining it was due to

[210:04]

the higher spiritual energy density in

[210:06]

the area. Chinying declared that once

[210:08]

they were done here, they'd head to the

[210:09]

rank area, but not before recovering

[210:12]

their strength and taking the

[210:13]

opportunity to develop even more new

[210:15]

techniques. Elsewhere, Lan Chong Kong

[210:17]

faced off against a formidable fire

[210:19]

elemental creature. He deployed a

[210:21]

specialized freezing agent, an attack

[210:23]

that instantly froze the flames, leaving

[210:25]

shimmering ice crystals suspended in the

[210:27]

air. Next, he launched a barrage of ice

[210:29]

spikes straight at the enemy, hitting

[210:31]

the creature squarely with the frigid

[210:33]

projectiles. Without hesitation, he then

[210:35]

targeted the teleportation axis

[210:37]

directly. Lan Chong Kong mused on how

[210:39]

incredibly useful the freezing agent he

[210:41]

got from Susa Nan was, allowing him to

[210:44]

truly act as a dual master of both water

[210:46]

and ice. In yet another location, Chu

[210:49]

Shinghi activated his sword aura domain.

[210:51]

He quickly realized that facing these

[210:53]

enemies one by one was a complete waste

[210:56]

of time. Going straight for the target

[210:57]

would be far more efficient. The

[210:59]

guardian surged forward to protect the

[211:01]

tower, launching a coordinated assault

[211:03]

against him. For a split second, he

[211:05]

wondered if he'd been discovered. Then

[211:07]

Chu Shinghi activated his Mirage sword

[211:09]

aura domain. Unable to distinguish

[211:12]

reality from illusion, the bewildered

[211:14]

guardians attacked everything around

[211:15]

them. He smirked, asking, "Who said a

[211:18]

domain master has to stay inside their

[211:20]

own domain?" Chu Shinghi declared they

[211:22]

were defeated by their own limited

[211:24]

thinking. Chuen reported that their

[211:26]

progress was moving swiftly, and after a

[211:28]

short break, they would destroy the

[211:29]

winged sky dragon's teleportation axis.

[211:32]

Nanziing declared he would scout ahead

[211:34]

to investigate the ranks S alien race,

[211:36]

warning no one to enter until he gave

[211:38]

the signal. He surged forward,

[211:39]

unleashing a powerful strike with his

[211:41]

weapon. But then he recoiled. Utter

[211:43]

surprise plastered across his face at

[211:45]

what appeared before his eyes. Chu

[211:47]

Shinghi wonders if this swarm of

[211:49]

jellyfish-like creatures is even a

[211:51]

single entity. Barely dodging a

[211:52]

lightning fast strike, he notes the

[211:54]

enemy's incredible reaction speed. He

[211:56]

dodges again, questioning if this thing

[211:58]

even has a mind. Chu Shingi charges,

[212:01]

blade drawn, unleashing a powerful

[212:03]

strike against the monster. But the

[212:04]

impact violently repels his hand,

[212:06]

sending his sword clattering to the

[212:08]

ground and emitting thick, noxious

[212:10]

smoke. Leaping back, he realizes the

[212:12]

creature isn't just spitting lightning.

[212:14]

It's also highly corrosive. Immediately,

[212:16]

[music] he orders Chuen to deploy a

[212:18]

spatial bubble. She instantly complies,

[212:21]

activating the ability, and a protective

[212:23]

barrier envelops him. Watching the enemy

[212:25]

regenerate, Chu Singhi knows his sword

[212:27]

is useless. He needs forbidden

[212:29]

formations and spells. He summons an ice

[212:32]

formation, stretching out his hand,

[212:34]

watching the ice surge forward,

[212:36]

wondering if it's enough to freeze the

[212:37]

monstrosity. But the ice proves utterly

[212:39]

ineffective against this life form. With

[212:42]

no other option, he unleashes another

[212:43]

forbidden spell, the raging flame

[212:45]

dragon. The fiery dragon smashes into

[212:48]

the creature, but it only intensifies

[212:49]

the venomous mist's toxicity. He watches

[212:52]

in horror as the mist begins to

[212:53]

disintegrate his protective spatial

[212:55]

bubble. Worried, he urges Chuen to

[212:57]

reinforce the barrier, and she does so

[212:59]

without hesitation. Next, he casts

[213:01]

another forbidden spell, a focused

[213:03]

soundwave. To his shock, the creatures

[213:05]

can absorb sound waves, too. The enemy

[213:07]

then redirects his own attack right back

[213:09]

at them, fearing Chutienne can't hold on

[213:11]

much longer. He must figure out the

[213:13]

creature's pattern and end this fast.

[213:15]

With a new plan, he decides to use the

[213:17]

enemy's own magic against it, unleashing

[213:19]

the 30,000 lightning tribulation spell.

[213:22]

All the lightning is absorbed without a

[213:23]

hitch. Facing utter failure, he tries to

[213:26]

detonate the absorbed energy from the

[213:28]

inside out. The creatures don't explode.

[213:30]

Instead, they seem to grow even

[213:31]

stronger. Chuen warns him, "The venom's

[213:34]

corrosion is too strong. She can't

[213:36]

maintain the barrier much longer.

[213:37]

Meanwhile, Chu Shinghi's arm is

[213:39]

suffering from the accumulated recoil of

[213:41]

his spells, worsening by the second." He

[213:43]

concludes, [music] "If a direct push

[213:45]

doesn't work, maybe a reverse attraction

[213:47]

can destroy the creature." Preparing for

[213:49]

one last attempt, he gathers energy for

[213:51]

another forbidden spell. Chu Shinghi

[213:53]

unleashes a spell that directly extracts

[213:56]

the lightning element from the

[213:57]

creatures. All the enemy's energy is

[213:59]

ripped away, concentrating into his

[214:01]

hand. He compresses the power into a

[214:03]

dense sphere and asks Chuen to

[214:05]

coordinate the teleportation. She

[214:07]

confirms she's ready. Chuing takes aim,

[214:09]

preparing to hurl the energy sphere. As

[214:11]

he launches it, he orders it teleported

[214:13]

to the opposite gate, wasting none of

[214:15]

its devastating power. Meanwhile, in

[214:17]

another location, a draconic creature

[214:19]

emerges, declaring it will devour

[214:21]

everything to become king. But its

[214:23]

celebration is abruptly cut short by

[214:25]

something hurtling its way. The creature

[214:27]

[music] wonders, "What are these ants?"

[214:29]

The energy sphere slams directly into

[214:31]

the creature. Back at the main

[214:32]

battlefield, Chuen collapses, asserting

[214:35]

she can't hold on any longer. Chu Shingi

[214:37]

screams her name just as the barrier

[214:39]

shatters. He stares down the monster,

[214:41]

realizing the venom is still active,

[214:43]

even without the lightning. Faced with

[214:45]

this, he conjures a protective cyclone

[214:47]

as a forbidden spell. Convinced the same

[214:49]

principle of the reverse lightning spell

[214:51]

can work with water, he begins

[214:53]

extracting the aquatic element. Chu

[214:55]

Shinghi unleashes a forbidden spell,

[214:57]

ripping the water element directly from

[214:59]

the creature. Concentrated, [music] he

[215:00]

begins to compress the energy and the

[215:02]

stolen water slowly condenses into a

[215:04]

swirling sphere of raw power. The might

[215:07]

stabilizes, firm and formidable in his

[215:09]

grasp, and he grins with confidence

[215:11]

before launching the water sphere

[215:13]

towards the opposing gate. Elsewhere, a

[215:15]

monstrous being is suddenly frozen solid

[215:17]

by the teleported attack. Next, Chu

[215:19]

Shingh utilizes a forbidden earth

[215:21]

element spell, invoking the mighty Grand

[215:23]

Earth Burial technique. However, with

[215:26]

the continuous use of so many forbidden

[215:28]

spells, the curse marks on his body

[215:29]

flare up, the burning sensation

[215:31]

intensifying. Feeling his energy rapidly

[215:34]

depleting and nightfall approaching

[215:35]

fast, he rushes to Chuen, who is still

[215:38]

unconscious. He gently wakes her and

[215:40]

offers a healing remedy, urging her to

[215:42]

take it so they can finally head home.

[215:44]

Chuen questions if they truly won, and

[215:47]

he simply confirms their triumph with a

[215:49]

calm, knowing smile. Through a voice

[215:51]

transmission, Chushing Hi instructs

[215:53]

everyone to gather at the passage to

[215:55]

return to the cozy cabin. The group

[215:57]

celebrates their conquest of the Dragon

[215:58]

Wing lair, joking about finally being

[216:01]

done with their shift and demanding

[216:03]

overtime pay. Rift Reaver, not missing a

[216:05]

beat, sheepishly asks if he should be

[216:07]

ashamed to make the same demand. Sunly

[216:09]

chuckles, noting that Rift Rever has

[216:11]

certainly picked up on that Hakia sense

[216:13]

of humor. Su Xiao Nan and Chen Leani

[216:16]

prepare medical supplies, with one

[216:18]

asking the other to grab medicine and

[216:19]

cotton, wondering aloud how on earth

[216:21]

everyone managed to get so banged up in

[216:23]

just one day. At the dinner table, Jang

[216:25]

Yuan assures everyone their injuries

[216:27]

aren't severe and insists they eat up to

[216:29]

aid in recovery. The woman quickly

[216:30]

informs Rift Reaver that his meal isn't

[216:32]

included in this spread. He quickly

[216:34]

replies, understanding his role is

[216:36]

simply to sit and contribute to the

[216:38]

festive atmosphere. She clarifies that

[216:40]

his main course is still outside because

[216:42]

the day's hunt was simply too large to

[216:44]

fit inside the house. Meanwhile, Lan

[216:46]

Chong Kong brags to Su Chang about

[216:48]

single-handedly dispatching 27 A-rank

[216:50]

alien species or lower. Such Chung

[216:52]

scoffs, reminding him he returned in

[216:54]

that state, even with group support. A

[216:56]

younger companion interrupts their

[216:58]

bickering, proudly declaring they

[217:00]

actually took down an S-rank creature.

[217:02]

Su Chang chuckles, remarking to Lanch

[217:04]

Kong that their retriever has finally

[217:06]

learned to talk back. One of the young

[217:08]

men reports that everyone's abilities

[217:10]

have improved and the battlefront on

[217:11]

Daxia's fifth defense line has begun to

[217:14]

shrink. A woman advises Nanzi not to

[217:16]

push himself so hard. He responds that

[217:18]

he'll explain what's needed after they

[217:19]

finish eating so as not to spoil

[217:21]

anyone's appetite. Later in the clinic,

[217:23]

Nanziing secretly requests they examine

[217:25]

the mysterious marks on his body, asking

[217:28]

what they know about them. Susiana

[217:30]

speculates they might be some kind of

[217:31]

tattoo. Chenlani, however, wonders if

[217:33]

they're actually a curse, a consequence

[217:35]

of overusing forbidden spells. Nanzishan

[217:38]

confirms her fears. It is indeed a

[217:41]

curse. The woman presses on the marks,

[217:43]

but he explains there's no pain, only a

[217:45]

searing burn that flares up whenever he

[217:48]

uses a forbidden spell. A sample of his

[217:50]

blood is then collected for analysis.

[217:52]

One of the medics asks Nanzan to try a

[217:54]

sacred light healing technique, and then

[217:56]

she and her colleague quickly withdraw.

[217:58]

Outside, the others question her about

[218:00]

the situation, but she still has no

[218:02]

answers. Nanzan then uses sacred light

[218:04]

purification on Nanziing. However, she

[218:07]

quickly realizes the technique has no

[218:08]

effect on the marks. Undeterred, she

[218:10]

decides to apply an enhanced cure. The

[218:12]

marks immediately react to the enhanced

[218:14]

cure, taking Nanziing by surprise.

[218:17]

Suddenly, the curse violently

[218:18]

retaliates, throwing Nanashan across the

[218:20]

room. Nanziing screams his sister's

[218:22]

name. A companion rushes to catch her,

[218:24]

calling out to ensure she's all right.

[218:26]

He asks if she's okay and Nanzan shakily

[218:29]

confirms she is. The marks wythe

[218:31]

intensely across Nanzing's body, making

[218:33]

him wonder if the curse directly reacted

[218:35]

to the sacred light. Nanzan explains

[218:38]

that the curse seems to be a living

[218:39]

entity capable of attacking on its own,

[218:42]

something she's never witnessed before.

[218:43]

The other two medics return with the

[218:45]

analysis results, informing them that

[218:47]

the skin tissue shows absolutely no

[218:49]

abnormalities beyond simple

[218:51]

pigmentation. She's utterly incredulous,

[218:53]

questioning how this is even possible

[218:55]

after such a violent attack and suggests

[218:58]

it might be some kind of parasite. One

[219:00]

of their companions helped support

[219:02]

Nanzan as the doctor explained the

[219:04]

situation was incredibly bizarre and

[219:06]

more tests would be needed. However,

[219:08]

Nanziing declared he was ready for any

[219:10]

outcome. She decided to first try a

[219:12]

curse removing ointment. Nanzing felt

[219:15]

absolutely nothing and with the curse

[219:16]

showing no signs of receding, he

[219:18]

concluded the method was useless. Since

[219:20]

gentler approaches failed, they decided

[219:22]

to try a folk remedy from Xiaoan, a

[219:24]

corrosive alien venom. The young woman

[219:27]

warned him it would be as painful as

[219:28]

being burned alive and asked if he

[219:30]

needed an anesthetic. Nanzying scoffed,

[219:32]

asking if she was underestimating him

[219:34]

and urged her to just start. The

[219:36]

corrosive venom was poured onto his arm.

[219:38]

He cried out in excruciating pain. The

[219:41]

woman observed that the venom only

[219:42]

burned through the flesh, leaving the

[219:44]

curse unaffected. This method, too, had

[219:47]

utterly failed. Examining the wound, her

[219:49]

companion pointed out that the flesh and

[219:50]

blood beneath the corroded skin still

[219:52]

bore the curse mark. Then she noticed

[219:54]

the mark extended all the way to his

[219:56]

bones. Nanziing concluded that to remove

[219:58]

it completely, he'd need to amputate his

[220:00]

entire arm. He quickly abandoned the

[220:02]

idea, especially since the curse didn't

[220:04]

seem to be causing any immediate harm.

[220:06]

Nanzan approached and offered to heal

[220:08]

the corroded wound. However, as she

[220:10]

performed the healing, she realized the

[220:12]

mark possessed the ability to

[220:13]

regenerate. Nanziing then questioned if

[220:16]

this wasn't a curse at all, but rather a

[220:18]

new ability that strengthened his body's

[220:20]

regeneration with each forbidden spell

[220:22]

he used. Su Chang, convinced it was all

[220:24]

a false alarm, then dismissed everyone.

[220:27]

Out in the forest, Chin Sui and Chinying

[220:29]

put their abilities to work. They

[220:31]

conjured a powerful spell, causing a

[220:33]

wooden cabin to emerge directly from the

[220:35]

earth. The structure rose completely

[220:37]

from the ground, seamlessly integrating

[220:39]

with the surrounding nature. Rift Rever

[220:41]

mused that on his home planet he'd

[220:43]

always built for others, but now they

[220:45]

were building a home for him. Once

[220:46]

finished, the siblings invited him

[220:48]

inside to see if he liked it. Chinying

[220:50]

explained that the house's unique style

[220:52]

expressed everyone's feelings for him.

[220:54]

The lights flickered on, revealing a

[220:55]

projector, a thoughtful gift from Chu

[220:57]

Tian. Rift Reaver instantly burst into

[220:59]

tears, profusely thanking everyone and

[221:02]

practically flooding the place with his

[221:03]

emotions, while Chinsu and Chinying

[221:06]

playfully chided him for his overly

[221:08]

dramatic display. Meanwhile, Chuch Chong

[221:10]

Chong and Chuchian chatted outside the

[221:11]

main house. He handed her the

[221:13]

custom-made ring she'd requested, each

[221:15]

engraved with the wearer's name. Chuda

[221:17]

noticed one unique ring and instantly

[221:19]

teased her brother about it being for

[221:21]

Nanzan, accusing him of being smitten.

[221:23]

Chu Chong Xiang just told her to stop

[221:25]

acting like an adult and go to bed, and

[221:27]

she readily agreed. Then she used her

[221:29]

spatial injection ability on the rings.

[221:31]

With these new spatial storage rings, it

[221:33]

would be much easier for everyone to

[221:34]

carry supplies and collect materials for

[221:36]

research. Chu Chong Chiang agreed,

[221:38]

adding that she deserved nothing but the

[221:40]

best. Just then, someone called out for

[221:42]

Chu Shinghi, and Chu Chong Xang quickly

[221:44]

bid farewell to Chu Tian to go assist.

[221:46]

Su Changa revealed that Nanzying<unk>s

[221:48]

blade was broken, but explained he'd

[221:50]

brought three rare reverse scales from

[221:52]

the winged sky dragon to forge a new

[221:54]

one. Chu Shinghi approved the material

[221:56]

and proposed a hardness test. He would

[221:58]

strike it with his sword aura while Su

[221:59]

Chong controlled the scales. Accepting

[222:01]

the challenge, Such Chong prepared the

[222:04]

scales. Chu Hinghi then unleashed his

[222:06]

mighty domain sword aura. The blow

[222:07]

struck the scales and Su Chung confirmed

[222:10]

their excellent hardness. The sword aura

[222:12]

simply dissipated upon contact with the

[222:14]

scales energy. Chuing Haye instantly

[222:16]

recognized the winged sky dragon's

[222:18]

inherent slowing ability. Realizing the

[222:20]

reverse scale carried this potent

[222:22]

effect, he concluded the new weapon

[222:24]

would be incredibly useful. Immediately

[222:26]

afterward, the scale was heated,

[222:28]

hammered on the anvil, and quenched in

[222:30]

water. Su Chang brandished the gleaming

[222:32]

new weapon, deemed it incredible, and

[222:34]

proudly named it the reverse scale

[222:36]

blade. In a dream, Nanzi Ying found

[222:38]

himself before a colossal ancient tree.

[222:41]

He questioned it about its identity and

[222:42]

purpose. The tree responded with an

[222:44]

enigmatic riddle. Your past is my

[222:46]

present, and my present is your future.

[222:48]

Then the entity urged him onward,

[222:51]

declaring, "He must become it and

[222:52]

liberate it." Bound by ethereal chains,

[222:55]

Nanzying demanded to know what this

[222:56]

meant. The tree simply instructed him to

[222:58]

press on, affirming that a far grander

[223:01]

future awaited
