All the students shouted that they would
enlist for combat and defend the
country. But among them, there was only
one student who didn't do the same.
Nanzing stepped forward and stated he
would join the support sector. Everyone
was astonished. How could someone with
such excellent grades be such a coward?
Just 5 minutes ago, the general had
announced that 10,000 clans of enemy
races had invaded the human continent.
The battles had left the cemeteries
full. The general held a ceremony to
honor those who died in combat. He
shouted, "Here are the heroes who fought
for the nation, your brothers, sisters,
and sons. Will you let their sacrifice
be in vain? Enlist, and we will defeat
the enemies." Everyone was overcome with
emotion, and 99%
enlisted. Only one person refused to go
to combat. This was so shocking that
later the newspapers covered the story
of the young man who refused to fight.
While reading the insults online,
Nanziing was the only one who knew the
truth. In his past life, he fought
bravely in the army and was one of the
few survivors. After the battle, he
joined the strategic war leadership. It
was only then, while in command, that he
studied deeply and discovered the
perfect synergy of talents that can lead
to unlimited power potential. He
unlocked the five talents required, but
ran out of time to reach absolute power
before every human on the planet was
eliminated. If he had discovered this
earlier, everything would have been
different. Fate wanted to test him for
by some miracle, Nanzying was reborn 10
years before the end of humanity. His
five talents were dormant inside him.
Nanzing knew that the people who went to
battle today would not survive, and he
couldn't change that. He went to the
youth training grounds. Now that
everyone had gone to war, there was no
one left to use the facility. The women
and the elderly were working there to
process the captured monsters into food
for the soldiers. Nanzying approached
them and offered to kill the monsters to
help [music] out. The women thanked the
young man, but as the protagonist walked
away, one of the ladies recognized him.
He is that coward who refused to fight
alongside the others. The girl from
earlier took Nanziing to the holding
area for the monsters. The protagonist
has a plan. To awaken his talents, he
needs to collect monster crystals, and
this is the only place in the city where
that is possible. The girl was impressed
by his courage to help and also thought
he was very handsome. One of the older
women approached the girl and started
poisoning her mind, saying that the boy
is as handsome as he is a coward. He is
the infamous Nanzi Ying who refused to
fight. Inside the training room, the
protagonist was determined. When all the
gates opened, the monsters attacked
furiously from all sides. Then, with a
precise strike, he lands a powerful kick
right on the back of the creature's
head. As [music] his feet touch the
ground, he swiftly extracts the source
stones from the fallen monster's body.
His talent enhancement mechanism works
just as it did before. He knows every
level up allows him to tame a new mutant
beast. Clutching the item, he affirms
that he can endure wounds of this
intensity. As long as the blows don't
strike his vital points, rapid healing
is no problem at all. A creature charges
him, but Nanzi meets it headon without a
flicker of hesitation. Using one
monster's body as a springboard, he
slices another out of the air, then
twists his body to nail a third with a
powerful kick. Back on the ground, Nanzi
Ying decides to clear out the remaining
airborne distractions first. He propels
himself skyward, striking down multiple
foes as he ascends. Just as he
anticipated, his combat efficiency has
soared. He surveys the defeated
creature's bodies scattered all around
him. Suddenly, the undisputed leader
emerges before him, the Umbrella Bird
Emperor. He immediately recognizes that
in his current state, taking down this
behemoth will be a monumental challenge.
He leaps back, dodging the Emperor's
attack, acknowledging that a direct
confrontation is simply not an option
right now. Midair, he twists his body,
resolving to focus solely on its weak
points. Nanziing charges forward,
striking the emperor without hesitation,
but he quickly realizes the monster's
durability is far greater than he
remembered from his past life. Even so,
he pushes forward, delivering yet
another fierce blow. Meanwhile,
elsewhere, an intercom announces the
start of the lunch break. Xiaolu asks
Aunt Wong and Sister Lee why they aren't
heading to the cafeteria. Aunt Wong
scoffs, saying she wants to see how long
he can keep up this charade. Sister Lee
bets he'll bolt soon, and Aunt Wong
readily agrees, adding they'll tackle
him if he tries. Shiaolu, however,
doubts an A-level test is that simple.
Just then, an announcement blar.
Participant Nanzeeing has completed the
first floor of the A-level test. Sister
Lee gasps, baffled by the speed. Aunt
Wang, however, snorts, assuming he
simply gave up and couldn't hack it. She
decides to check for herself. The moment
she turns, she bumps right into someone
and promptly lands on her backside,
staring up at Nanzi Ying himself. A
scoreboard flashes, announcing,
"Participant Nanzi Ying has achieved
2,000 kills, setting a new record for
the first floor." Aunt Wang sputters,
demanding to know how he got into such a
state and if he really passed the
A-level [music] test. He simply
confirms, "I passed." Then Nanzi Ying
coolly states that the demon bodies are
ready for processing. As he turns to
leave, Shiaoliu watches him, her eyes
sharp with curiosity. When she turns to
organize the processing, she's
confronted by an absolutely immense pile
of bodies. The progress speed, however,
is merely adequate. The experience
required for the next level has more
than doubled. His data confirms Beast
Tamer level two, making it impossible to
reach level three on just the first
floor. An urgent war report crackles
over the intercom. The next offensive
wave is about to begin. In his previous
life, even two powerful skill bearers
weren't enough to prevent the eighth
defense line from teetering on the brink
of collapse. He turns off the shower,
resolute. There's no time for rest. He
needs to accelerate his preparations and
head straight to the tower's second
floor. As workers haul away the monster
corpses, they murmur amongst themselves.
They hadn't expected Nanzi to pass, much
less believe he'd need a lengthy
recovery period. Sister Lee concedes
that he gave his all. After all, few
people ever pass an A-level test. Aunt
Wong, however, warns that trying to do
everything at once is foolish. The best
path is always step by step. They wonder
aloud how many days he'll need to
recover, even joking that he might never
return. They watch him limp down the
corridor, fading from view. One of the
workers then turns, calling out Nanzi
Ying<unk>s name. Sister Lee urges calm,
but Aunt Wongs face contorts with utter
contempt at his unexpected return. She
snars, demanding to know what else he
wants. Nanzying simply replies, "I'm
heading to the second floor to continue
the test." Aunt Wong stares utterly
stunned, then repeats the question. "You
actually intend to go to the second
floor?" She then demands to know what
he's trying to prove, pushing forward
with such grievous injuries. Xiaolu
gently advises him to wait until he's
fully recovered, warning him that the
next floor is crawling with massive,
vicious mutant beasts. He thanks her for
her concern, but firmly states he
prefers to handle this on his own.
Indignant, Aunt Wong yells, "If you're
so damn capable, you should be on the
front lines." Xiaolu watches him walk
away, wondering why he's putting on such
a show here of all places. She muses
that Mr. Nan doesn't seem like the type
to fear death or hide in the rear. Just
then, the system announces the start of
the A-level test on the second floor. He
immediately senses the second floor is
vastly different from the first,
emanating a far more intense pressure.
Nanzi Ying deafly dodges the onslaught
of attacking creatures. Despite his
agility, one beast lands a brutal direct
hit. The force sends him violently
slamming backward. He realizes he can't
afford to take direct blows. He has no
advantage in size or strength,
especially not with his current
injuries. As he pushes himself up, the
beasts seem to mock his battered form.
Even so, he declares, "I am not one to
charge in unprepared." He then glares at
the creatures arrayed before him. A
moment later, he [music] leaps clean
over one of them. In a single fluid
motion, he plunges his blade deep into
the monster's back. [music] The creature
begins to dissolve, crumbling into dust
before his eyes. Since these level two
mutant beasts are well within his
capabilities, he decides to tame them
before engaging them directly. He
activates [music] his beast tamer
talent. The creatures are engulfed by a
surge of his power. Every single beast
kneels subserviently before him. He
nods, confident this will be enough to
keep them under his complete control.
Finally, he decides it's time to keep
evolving, aiming to hit the third level
in one swift go. 3 days later, in Yay
City's training grounds, a worker calls
for help from a colleague as they
process carcasses. Sister Lee urges them
to move the meat quickly, citing a lack
of space. While Nanzeeing rests nearby,
he decides he's done enough for today.
His status shows he's reached level six
mutant beast tamer. [music] In just
three days, he's called over 10,000
beasts. And with his taming talent
hitting level six, he can finally
venture into the wilderness. Beasts
rarely attack the city directly, thanks
to the presence of super ability users
and firearms, making the wild an
incredibly dangerous place. Still,
taming them is crucial to his strategy
[music] against the 10,000 races. An
older worker asks Nanziing if they'll
need overtime to move another batch,
mentioning everyone's eagerness to
support the front lines. He stands,
declining, explaining he needs to leave
early today. As he leaves, Aunt Wong
snipes, already giving up after a few
days, huh? Another worker defends him,
claiming tower progress improved because
of him, but she sharply tells him to
mind his own business. He retorts,
accusing her of being part of the
problem herself, nagging Nanzi Ying
instead of focusing on her own duties.
Shaolu approaches, informing him the
tasks are on schedule and suggesting he
take a break. He thanks her for the
thought, but insists he truly has to go.
She agrees, wishing him a good rest. At
the city gates, a guard in a vehicle
yells for people to clear the way and
not block the road. A convoy of military
trucks rumbles through the city as an
announcement blar, informing citizens
that wounded from the front lines need
urgent medical attention. Nanziing
observes the sheer number of injured,
deducing the frontline situation must be
critical. Some on the street point
skyward, shouting as rockets streak
across the air. As the projectiles fly,
a civilian comments that it looks like
they're gaining an advantage. Still, he
knows the situation is grim, requiring
long-range support, hinting that the
defense lines collapse isn't far off. He
adjusts his mask and tightens his grip
on his blade. Outside the city, he
trekks through the snow, affirming to
himself there's no time to waste.
Further ahead, a man in a stalled truck
questions why they stopped at such a
dangerous hour. The driver replies that
the vehicle broke down, leaving them
stranded at the worst possible time. A
woman suggests abandoning the truck
because of the mutant wolves, while
another man agrees to grab their gear so
they can return together. Suddenly, the
group spots a silhouette racing through
the snow. Nanzying zips past the convoy
at high speed. The woman by the window
wonders who would be leaving the city in
the dead of night. The man in the truck
yells for him to be careful, warning
that giant extremely dangerous mutant
wolves are ahead. Inside the vehicle, a
young woman warns that the director has
been calling repeatedly as the city
hospital is overflowing and urgently
needs the medicine. She warns that the
area is dangerous and the team is
unarmed, but her colleague retorts,
saying they've dealt with plenty of
unstable types and can't get involved.
The driver decides the conversation has
gone far enough and prepares to leave.
Suddenly, they both look back as outside
a man is attacked and starts screaming
for help. Her companion grabs her
tightly, yelling for her to drive
immediately, warning that a giant steel
wolf is right behind them. The young
woman grabs a rifle, orders her friend
to accelerate, and takes aim. She aims
carefully and gives the order to open
fire. Hearing the shots, Nanziang
realizes they're coming from the herb
gathering team's direction. He quickly
notices it's not just an attack on the
convoy, but a full-blown ambush by a
wolf pack. Given this, he concludes the
situation plays right into his hands,
saving him some effort. With the rising
spiritual energy concentration, beasts
have become smarter and more organized.
One of the wolves charges directly at
the convoy truck. The young woman
reloads her weapon as the driver warns
her to be careful. She calmly replies,
telling her to seize the opportunity and
drive while she keeps the wolves at bay.
The driver agrees, preparing to
accelerate without hesitation. Nanziing
faces the pack on a snow-covered cliff.
From a higher vantage point, he spots
the wolf king, wondering if the creature
is silently observing everything. He
then realizes that by dealing with the
pack, the medical team might just escape
with their lives. The alpha beast
charges directly towards him. With the
boss appearing, he declares the battle
has truly begun and rushes towards the
wolves. He positions himself among the
bodies of the defeated creatures. Then
he activates [music] his beast tamer
talent. The ability unleashes, seeking
to awaken and subjugate the surrounding
creatures. Intense energy manifests
around him. The Wolf King responds with
a mighty roar. Their forces collide on
the battlefield in an explosive clash.
Nanziing begins to subjugate the wolves
one by one. He declares his strategy.
Capture the king to control the entire
pack. The creatures look up, surprised
by this display of power. Then he
asserts himself, manifesting absolute
authority over them. The ability slams
into the ground, sending wolves flying.
Next, he turns directly to the leader,
declaring its domination as the top
priority. Nanzing advances towards the
steelwolf king and uses his ability in
an attempt to tame the creature. The
mighty wolf fiercely resists the power
engulfing it. Still, it slowly begins to
yield under the overwhelming pressure.
At the same time, the other packwolves
collapse to the ground. Back in the
truck, the young woman continues firing
at the remaining beasts. She screams for
her friend to accelerate and get them
out of there as fast as possible. The
driver slams the accelerator, trying to
leave immediately. However, she realizes
the truck refuses to start. Faced with
this, her companion declares they're
doomed. Outside, two wolves attack the
vehicle almost simultaneously. Then the
windshield shatters under the violent
force of the impact. Soon after, one of
the creatures lunges through the broken
glass. Suddenly though, the attacks
cease and the wolves silently surround
the truck. One of the young women
wonders what's happening and why. All of
a sudden, the wolves look almost cute.
One of the creatures stares at them with
a completely different expression. Right
after, the entire pack runs off away
from the convoy. A top the cliff,
Nanziing stands beside the wolf king,
observing the movement below. From a top
the truck, the blonde woman realizes the
giant mutant wolves have been tamed.
Surprised, she wonders what level of
tamer could possibly achieve something
like this, finding the scene
unbelievable, he checks his status.
Level seven, beast tamer. He decides not
to waste precious source stones right
now. Mounted on the wolf king, he orders
the pack to disperse until summoned
again. Then he reinforces to the
creature that humans are not to be
attacked. Nanzing observes the horizon,
aware he needs to tame all beasts from
the nearby uninhabited areas. For his
grand battle plan, he knows he must find
a way to gather an army of over 10
million mutant beasts. Furthermore, he
recalls that securing a safe path for
the medicinal herb gathering team is
also crucial. Suddenly, [music] he
receives an emergency meeting summons
from the factory, making him wonder what
the hell happened. In the training
grounds of the Yay City branch, a
booming voice declared everyone present
a complete and utter disappointment.
They [music] had hoped that with their
accelerated progress, they could
alleviate the crushing pressure on the
front lines. But an official flanked by
two stern guards scoffed, claiming they
still struggled even against slightly
higher level mutant beasts. The elder
mayor tried to explain, saying this was
the first time Yei City had dealt with
level four or higher beasts, and they
simply needed time to adapt. The
official merely repeated, "Time with
disdain." He demanded to know if they
truly grasped the gravity of the
situation. Frontline troops were on the
brink of starvation. He bellowed that
the mutant beast stockpile in the rear
was dwindling and they needed to start
taking down higher level beasts to
support the army. The elder mayor
agreed, promising more people from Ya
City would be sent soon to continue the
task. However, he was cut off. The
official stated he'd watched them for
half a day and concluded no one here was
useful, accusing them of deliberately
delaying supplies. He griped that Y city
had been holding back progress, even
pointing out that the first deserter had
come from this very place. Finally, he
sneered that the city lived up to its
irresponsible reputation, incapable of
handling any real responsibility. An
older woman bristled, yelling that her
husband and three sons died on the front
lines, asking how he dared call them
irresponsible. Auntie Wong added that
they all worked in shifts just to keep
the supply schedule, accusing him of
devaluing their desperate efforts. The
man simply sneered at their complaints.
His guards stepped forward and he
questioned if they truly dared
disrespect an official. In response,
Auntie Wang shot back, "What do you
intend to do?" Suddenly, a fist slammed
into one of the guard's faces, sending
his glasses flying through the air.
Nanziing appeared, holding the stunned
guard, and calmly asked the official not
to resort to violence. The workers
cheered, celebrating the arrival of
Comrade Xiaoan. The elder mayor wondered
what Nanzi Ying was doing here and more
importantly how he managed to take down
a level five ability user. The official
spun around demanding to know who he
was, then pointed a weapon at Nanzi
Ying, accusing the Ya City folk of
plotting a mutiny. Nanziing stared back,
a flicker of recognition in his eyes. He
knew this man. His memory flashed back
to the traitor of his past [music] life,
Lin Yukai, famously known as the supply
line leech. In that life, this bastard
had trafficked military supplies, and
now he was clearly eyeing Yei City's
processing speed. "No wonder Nanziing
found him here." With that certainty, he
decided he had to deal with this
official, but not before draining him of
all his resources. "There are no rebels
here," Nanziing declared, stepping
forward. "Why point a weapon at people
who have sacrificed so much for the
war?" Meanwhile, a worker shouted, "What
more do you want from us?" The official
suddenly realized this situation
wouldn't end well. He scrutinized
Nanzying<unk>s face, trying to place why
the figure seemed so familiar. After a
few tense moments, it clicked. He
finally recognized Nanzying as the
deserter from Y City, accusing him of
hiding here and assaulting a soldier.
Nanzing simply shrugged, "I don't care."
But he warned the official, "If I die,
the supply progress that's been
accelerating will only get even slower."
The elder mayor and the other man
gasped, shocked [music] to discover this
was Nanziing, the legendary
slaughterhouse ace. Nanziing continued,
explaining that highlevel beasts could
interfere with the human mind. That was
the real reason the official came to Yay
City. But I can't help you, he added.
You plan to kill me. At that [music]
moment, the official realized a deserter
so familiar with mutant beasts had
completely turned the tables on him.
From the reactions of the people around
them, Nanzing<unk>s words didn't sound
like a lie. The elder mayor decided to
observe how this would play out. The
official eventually concluded that if
Nanzing was willing to take on the task,
it suited him perfectly. He proposed a
military oath. He would send 5,000 level
four mutant beasts the very next day. He
knew level four beasts were among the
strongest, possessing high defense and
powerful mental disturbance. For him,
these demons were the perfect material
to enhance his Assura talent. While Lin
Yukai would do anything for money, his
plan was [music] clear. first slaughter
all the beasts, strengthen his own
talent, and then eradicate Lin Yukai and
his entire network once and for all. The
next day, word quickly spreads. The
5,000 level four mutant beasts sent by
the officer have arrived. The Yay City
branch is summoned for inspection. Lin
Yukai, the military supply officer
himself, then steps forward to read a
military order, assigning logistics
soldier Nanziing to process all 5,000
level four mutant beasts. He states the
task must be completed within a week and
Nanzi will be under his direct
authority. Moments later, Lin Yukai
accuses Nanziing of insubordination,
inciting riots among workers and
attacking an officer. He warns that any
delay will result in immediate
execution. No higher approval needed.
Chillingly, he specifies the execution
will be carried out by a firing squad.
The surrounding workers react in shock,
murmuring about the mention of a firing
squad. Lin Yukai then mockingly asks
Nanzi if he's scared, reminding him how
easily he'd agreed to the military order
just yesterday. He adds that when the
time comes, it will be his personal duty
to execute him. Lin Yukai finishes with
a smirk, stating he's sure he'll enjoy
the process immensely. Nanziing, ever
composed, simply remarks there's too
much talk for a mere messenger. When one
of the guards reacts, Lin Yukai cuts him
off, commenting they should be more
lenient with the dying. The show can
begin, he declares, I'll be waiting. One
of the men informs them that unlike
lower-level beasts, [music] these
high-level creatures require
tranquilizer smoke. But the key
components have all been sent to field
hospitals. Shaolu warns Nanzi to be
extra careful as there might not be
enough doses. [music] The only reply is
an acknowledgement that the warning has
been noted. As Nanzi walks off, someone
questions his confidence given [music]
the beasts are capable of mental
attacks, speculating he might be a
psychic. Lin Yukai's bodyguard reports
that the boy showed no reaction to
psychic tests, but Lin Yukai dismisses
it, preferring to simply await the
execution, feigning concern over the
creature's overwhelming mental power. He
scoffs, [music] "It's a shame the kid
will probably go mad before that, unable
to even feel the fear of death
approaching, he then complains that the
boss is petty and that trusting a
deserter was just a waste of time." Lin
Yukai declares that after the boy is
executed, all the spoils will be his.
However, the bodyguard reminds him he
was only sent to supervise and must know
how to report correctly to his superior.
He assures Lin Yukai that everything
that happens here will be reported
truthfully. Meanwhile, Nanzying observes
that even physically immobilized, the
highle beasts remain mentally
formidable. He assesses the situation
and surprisingly admits that it's not
bad at all. An illusion manifests before
him, leading him to comment on the
creature's ability to conjure such vivid
images. The elucory figure advances.
Soon after, a skeleton descends from
above and attacks Nanzeeing. The attack
dissipates upon hitting the ground.
Nanzing reacts immediately,
counterattacking the beast, remarking it
was a good try, but still just another
illusion. He confidently states that as
long as they can't control him mentally,
they're nothing more than stationary
targets. He adds that he still needs
more energy to enhance his own talent,
then throws down a challenge, demanding
they reveal their true abilities. The
situation is better now, he declares,
even as shadows grip his feet. A voice
then whispers, suggesting he's exhausted
and should just let everything go. It
insists he think of the price he's paid
and those who died, causing him to call
out for his father. The voices start
questioning if it was all worth it, if
protecting humanity made any sense,
urging him to stop resisting fate. In a
seductive tone, the entity invites him
to simply take a break. But Nanziing
stands firm, asserting that his revenge
still needs to be completed and
humanity's fate must be decided by
humans themselves. The creature
questions how he endures such a massive
amount of energy and advises him to give
up. In response, Nanzi Ying explains
that by activating his Asura talent, his
mental and physical power will
drastically increase and this energy is
the fastest shortcut to reach that
state. Finally, he commands the energy
to become part of his power and
activates his Assura talent. Elsewhere,
a man grows furious on the phone,
pressured over a delayed delivery. He
barks orders to his subordinate, telling
them to string the other party along.
Meanwhile, a woman serves wine to her
boss, suggesting he spend more time with
her. After all, the end of the world is
drawing near. He scoffs, remarking that
demand for their products has become
urgent, and it's better [music] to make
quick money before the prepared mutant
beasts are lost. Annoyed, he complains
about ambitious subordinates and secret
military investigations, calling it all
a huge pain in the ass before gulping
down his wine. Moments later, he wonders
where he could find a stable location to
handle highlevel mutant beasts. Just as
his phone rings, impatiently, he
snatches it up, yelling at the caller to
speak. The other person begins reporting
on the military order at the Yay City
branch. He grumbles that those fools are
useless as always, questioning if the
boy named Nan has been dealt with yet.
However, the subordinate informs him
they've just returned and the job is
practically done in only 4 days. The man
on the phone explains that the beasts
were level four, far beyond [music] the
city's capabilities, making the boss
ask, stunned, if they really finished.
The response confirms it. The task
involving 5,000 level four mutant beasts
was completed, and it was all done by
Nanziing. Hearing this, the boss laughs,
asking how the kid is doing. He's told
Nan looks exhausted, but is in good
condition. The boss then orders them to
keep the boy under surveillance and to
act if he does anything beyond killing
beasts. Lin Yukai confirms, still
reeling from the task's completion.
Another man, likely Lin Yukai, inwardly
questions how this was possible. He'd
investigated Nanzing and was certain the
young man possessed no psychic
abilities. Suddenly, an information
screen flashes detailing Nanzing's
talent tree. It shows his current Asura
level is five, and he's unlocked the
alloy evil blade ability. Nanzing
reflects that both his physical and
mental strength have increased. Though
he hasn't reached level six yet, he
successfully awakened the first ability
of his assura talent. While receiving
care, he concludes that he can now delve
deeper into the wilderness to tame
higher level beasts and accelerate his
plans. One of the workers praises
comrade Taanan for bringing them honor,
otherwise certain people would have
belittled them. Lin Yukai mutters that
it was clear they couldn't handle the
situation, so they arrogantly decided to
use them instead. At that moment,
Nanziing realizes that the increase in
his Assura talent level has also
enhanced his perception. That man, he
thinks, is an ability user after all.
Liny Yukai, fuming, is held back by his
bodyguard. He rants about his income
being cut off and being insulted,
deciding he needs to investigate that
boy again. The bodyguard warns him not
to forget that as long as they complete
their tasks, their superiors don't care
about the methods. By acting this way,
Linu Kai is going against the boss's
rules. He further states they need to
wait until the boss is done using
Nanziing before they can get rid of him,
adding that there's still a lot of
residual mental power lingering in the
area. At this, Lin Yukai declares enough
nonsense and vows to report personally
to the boss when the time is right.
Nonziing watches the people around him
intently. He recognizes this as a
psychic ability trick designed to attack
his mind, but confidently asserts that
they've miscalculated. This, he muses,
is the perfect moment to test his Aora
talent abilities. Linyukai begins to
question what's happening, lamenting
that he couldn't invade Nanzi<unk>s
mental system. Confused, he wonders why
he can't see anything in the absolute
darkness as he should be able to
perceive mental entities. A voice calls
him, making him spin around. The voice
guides him to the side where he realizes
he's surrounded by dense energy. Before
him, a condensed mental entity of
malevolent energy manifests. Terrified,
Lin Yukai shouts, demanding to know how
Nanzi Ying can possess psychic abilities
and have increased his power so much in
such a short time. He distinctly
remembers investigating everything about
him. He screams, "Who the hell are you
really?" The energy hurls him backward.
The entity calmly states that it doesn't
matter who it is, reminding Lin Yukai
that he was the one who decided to spy
on its mental world. Liny Yukai comments
on the energy's terrifying level and
begins to beg for mercy, [music] but the
entity simply replies that it will give
him a good show. The figure then charges
and attacks Lin Yukai. Back in reality,
the workers watch the scene in shock.
Lin Yukai, now raving, declares that
everything there belongs to him and no
one should even think about touching his
money. He scrambles to his feet,
babbling that he was an idiot and could
have handled everything himself. The
workers whisper amongst themselves,
wondering if the leadership pressure is
truly so intense. While one woman
worries about being held responsible
since Lin Yukai couldn't endure just a
few sentences, the bodyguard realizes
Linu Kai has been influenced by the
residual mental power and has gone
completely mad as the man continues to
scream that anyone who touches his money
will die. Seeing this, the bodyguard
concludes that letting Liny Kai continue
like this will only tarnish the boss's
reputation. Without hesitation, he
lunges forward and attacks Linuai,
swiftly executing him. He then turns to
the others, apologizing for the incident
and explaining that he had to put Lin
Yukai down because he was influenced by
the monster's mental power and could
have ended up hurting everyone there.
The bodyguard comments that Nanzi Ying
has collapsed and appears to be
seriously mentally disturbed. [music] He
internally calls the dead official an
idiot for getting himself killed that
way and concludes that the boy might no
longer be useful, deciding to report
back first. He then informs the others
that someone will come to take care of
the situation and everyone should
continue with their good work. Finally,
a notification screen appears, stating
that the current Assura level has
reached level six. Mr. Nan is finally
awake. A worker shouts and everyone
rushes to his side. Still groggy, Nan
asks how long he's been out. Learning
it's been over 2 days. One of the men
tells the others to get back to work,
then urges Nan to get up and grab a
bite. Nan immediately asks if that
scumbag Lin Yukai sent more mutant
beasts. The man shakes his head,
explaining that the front lines military
demands have doubled. [music] Worse, the
battle at the ninth defense line was a
total human defeat, forcing a retreat to
the eighth. The situation is dire with
their troops utterly outmatched by the
10,000 races mutant monsters. A level
seven ability user barely made it out
alive, losing an arm, and a level six
flame giant made the ultimate sacrifice.
Nanzi grimly notes to himself that while
he knew defeat was coming, this collapse
happened far sooner than in his past
life. The worker quickly changes the
subject, announcing that the higher-ups
have declared the deceased officer was
under mental manipulation, clearing Ya
City of any blame. He adds that what's
next is even more critical, prompting
Nanzi Ying to demand, "What else
happened?" Just then, Shaolu bursts into
the room, calling for Mr. Nan. She
excitedly reports that everyone, even
those out on missions, unanimously voted
him as the new chief of Yay City's
Judgment Tower branch. She hands him an
official appointment letter from HQ.
Aunt Wong steps forward, saying, "This
shows everyone's trust in you. Please
take [music] care of us, Chief Nan."
Other workers cheer. "Long live, Chief
Nan. We'll work our hardest."
Xiaolu<unk>s expression darkens as she
explains the new reality. Their team is
hald, but military supply demands have
doubled. How many of us will even last a
month without proper food, water, or
sleep? She [music] frets, turning to
Nan. Chief, what's your plan? Nanzying
calmly replies that worker efficiency
won't change much, so it all comes down
to him. With my abilities, he declares,
I can double our output, he thinks to
himself. With this new position, dealing
with Lin Yukai after he's drained his
resources will be a breeze. Shaolu still
urges him to appeal to command, calling
the task impossible, but Nan reassures
her. I've already found a solution. As
he rises from his bed, she warns him
against reckless stunts, reminding him
of the immense pressure and his recent
recovery. [music]
Nanziing, however, faces his team with
unwavering confidence. We [music] can
complete this task. And the workers,
energized by his resolve, shout, "We
trust you, Chief Nan. We'll follow your
lead." Just as someone yells for
everyone to get back to work, a blur
flashes past the doorway, startling the
team. Nan instantly realizes that speed
isn't human and certainly not from
anyone on his crew. He bolts into the
corridor demanding, "Who's there?" He
bursts into an outdoor area, scanning,
"Where'd they go?" Suddenly, a cold
barrel presses against his head. A voice
snarls, "Bold of you to follow me." A
woman grabs him from behind, pinning
him. "Don't move. Just answer my
questions." She wastes no time. "Tell me
about Lin Yukai's order. How many are
coming in the next batch?" Nan retorts.
You should be asking Lin Yukai and his
goons that she presses harder. Are you
his accomplice? Answer me seriously.
Nanzi Ying sees her distraction. [music]
a window of opportunity. He grabs her
arm and instantly activates his Assura
talent. She reacts just as fast,
blocking his hand, but he's [music]
quicker. She fires her weapon, but he
intercepts the shot midair. "Who told
you I was an accomplice to that
scoundrel?" Nan snarls, "You got the
wrong person." The woman recoils, asking
why he's helping Lin Yukai. Nan
clarifies, "I don't help him. I just
complete the tasks assigned to Y City.
Technically, he's still our superior for
now." This visibly surprises her. Then
she offers a truce. Let's join forces to
deal with Lin Yukai, she suggests,
extending a hand. I'm Jang Yuan from the
eighth defense line. Nanzi Ying pauses,
then extends his own hand, only to flat
out reject her offer. Jang Yuan
immediately questioned if he was
choosing to be part of the problem. He
shot back that Lin Yukai absolutely
needed to be stopped, but definitely not
now, and especially not with her.
Nanziing explained that she clearly
hadn't considered the full consequences
of eliminating Lin Yukai. At that, she
demanded to know what he meant. He
clarified that in her rush to get rid of
him, she was only looking at two
options: assassination or an internal
expose. Then he pressed, "How did she
plan to silence everyone involved in an
assassination, especially if there was
more than one person on the other side.
What's more, he reminded her that if the
assassination attempt failed, she'd
better think long and hard about what
would happen to her afterwards."
Nanziing explained that investigations
would drag on forever, and after their
recent crushing defeat, any whiff of
internal conflict would be interpreted
as outright discord. This would
inevitably trigger a catastrophic
[music] chain reaction, plunging the
entire rear guard into utter chaos. Jang
Yuen was speechless for a moment, then
finally asked what he thought they
should do. He simply declared he'd
handle it personally. She reacted
immediately, challenging if he really
intended to do it all by himself. She
told him to stop, reminding him he was
just a defector [music] and not even she
could wrangle those bastards. In
response, he calmly reminded her they'd
just fought, then asked what her chances
of beating him now would be. Jang Yan
recalled his incredible reaction moments
earlier, realizing how different
everything had been just a week ago.
From this, she deduced he'd chosen to
remain in logistics specifically to
continuously strengthen himself with the
incoming mutant beasts. Nanzi Ying said
he'd already told her everything he
could, then advised her not to act
rashly, emphasizing that she was an
intelligent woman. He then stated he'd
personally take care of that conniving
scoundrel, Lin Yukai. Jang Yuan
reluctantly agreed to his request, but
warned him that success was the only
acceptable option. He confirmed their
deal, adding that after Lin Yukai was
dealt with, he'd depend on her to secure
the mutant beasts they needed.
>> [music]
>> She questioned his need for even more
beasts, pointing out his current
strength wouldn't be considered weak
even on the battlefield. She flat out
asked if he was plotting something
against humanity, demanding to know
whose side he was really on. He scoffed
that she was overthinking it, affirming
that while he was absolutely on
humanity's side to expel the 10,000
races, he simply wasn't strong enough
yet. Nanzi Ying then bid her farewell,
declaring he'd said enough and promptly
left. She watched him disappear,
concluding that despite him being an
undeniably unsettling individual, she
had no choice but to place her trust in
him. A few days later, a disembodied
voice announced that Chief Nan had
successfully completed the last mission
without a hitch and the next task would
once again be assigned to Y City. As
they walked, Shaolu reminded the group
that last time someone was seriously
injured. However, Nanzing swiftly
reassured her, affirming she could take
on the task. An official commented that
Chief Nan was always incredibly
straightforward and without a moment's
hesitation signed the paperwork. He then
acknowledged Nan's undeniable
competence, deeming him crucial because
he never accepted bribes, unlike other
troublemakers who only caused headaches.
Excitedly, [music]
he celebrated the chance to make a
massive fortune, especially since
military supply orders had already
doubled with the war's relentless
advance. He promised that if Nanziing
performed well in the upcoming tasks,
Liny Yukai himself would personally
award medals to him and his team. At
this, Nanziing turned to the group and
sharply ordered everyone back to their
stations to start working. As the
workers furiously moved the massive
containers, instructions echoed, "Send
one batch to the first floor of the
testing tower and direct the terrifying
level five beast to [music] the second."
E. The official commented that Y City's
work atmosphere was remarkably
reassuring and with a nod bid farewell,
promising he wouldn't bother them again.
Nanziing watched the official stride
away, his gaze keenly observing
everything he'd accumulated. Knowing
that every single resource would serve
as vital fuel for the enhancement of his
talent, he prepared to unleash his
powerful ability, the evil alloy blade.
He activated [music] its power and
surged forward, charging straight into
the beasts. With a single devastating
sweep, [music] he sliced down multiple
creatures at once. March 20th, Eagle
Land's eighth defense line crumbled
after a brutal battle, claiming the
lives of 800,000 soldiers and 50,000
espers. Amidst the chaos, Nanziing
unleashed the Alloy Fury Blade in a sura
Berserker mode, tearing through a
monstrous creature. Just 2 days later,
the North Glacier's eighth defense line
followed suit, collapsing under the
assault. The 10,000 races swarmed in,
slaughtering [music] 600,000 more
soldiers. But Nanzying fought on,
wielding the alloy dragon blade and
unleashing the Assura Dragon Hunter to
confront a colossal beast. March 24th,
the South Glacier's eighth defense line
faced the terrifying steel slaughter
race, and 500,000 soldiers were
annihilated in a mere hour. Against this
overwhelming tide, Nanzing unleashed the
Alloy demonic blade and the Assura Demon
Hunter, striking back with all his
might. By March 26th, the eighth defense
lines of France and Kawasaki nation
crumbled completely in just half an
hour. That's when he declared, "Enough
is enough." Rising above the monstrous
horde, he unleashed the full might of
his assura powers. Nanziing had reached
Picasura. [music]
Immediately, he activated hell on earth
mode. He decided it was time to unleash
that power against his foes. He lifted
his blade, then slammed it into the
ground, unleashing a colossal explosion.
From a top a pile of pulverized
monsters, he surveyed the destruction.
The power at max level is exponentially
different, he mused. It's on a whole
other scale. Then, with a weary sigh, he
deactivated Assura mode, collapsing
exhausted onto the creature's massive
carcass. A grim news report flashed by.
Only a few alliances remained, and the
minimum recruitment age had been
drastically lowered to 16. He frowned.
The collapse happened too damn fast.
Meanwhile, Aunt Wang looked bewildered.
"You finished the task so quickly?" she
gasped. An official approached, his eyes
wide. Chief Nan, your efficiency has
improved yet again. Satisfied, he then
asked, "What official position would you
like to take?" Nanzi Ying simply
replied, "I want him." The official
blinked, completely bewildered. [music]
He then clarified, "I need you to go to
the northern jungle tonight. Bring back
a pack of steel wolves to finish the
job." The man chuckled. "Chief Nan, your
resilience and audacity are truly
commendable. I like that." Nanziing
nodded. I'll leave Commander Lynn to
handle it. The official tried to
reassure him, but Nanzi<unk>s eyes
glinted. Try any tricks and I'll end
you. Nanzying fixed him with a cold
stare. With external enemies invading
and you acting like a parasite on the
home front, you're beyond redemption.
Alone in the falling snow, Nanzying
mused. If his memory served him right,
the 10,000 races would soon launch
assassination plots. He'd need to be far
more discreet. Then he commanded his
pups to summon the nearby wolf packs.
Under the eerie glow of the full moon,
the wolf packs answered his call. A
screen flickered, displaying
Nanzing<unk>s beast tamer status. He
noted grimly that the requirements for
enhancement were growing exponentially.
Meanwhile, [music] three vehicles
plunged through the desolate
snow-covered landscape. A guard reported
to the official, "Sir, we've detected
approximately a thousand mutant wolves
ahead." The official grinned clearly
pleased. The official barked, "Advance!
Initiate teleportation to the nano
cages." He was clearly eager to complete
this task and get back home for other
activities. Suddenly, a strange noise
caught his attention. "What was that?"
he demanded. The guard in the front seat
squinted, scanning the road more
intently. Without warning, their
vehicles were swarmed by a literal tide
of steel wolves. The official screamed
in panic, "How could this happen without
any warning? Teleport me out of here
now." The guard frantically explained,
"Sir, the device only works at a minimum
distance of 1 kilometer. Our only option
is to plow through them." Enraged,
[music] the official roared, "Shut up
and drive." The vehicles lurched
forward, accelerating into the monstrous
pack. Watching from a distance, Nanzi
Ying smirked. Perfect timing, [music] he
noted the full moon high above. Then he
descended the slope, determined to tame
some powerful new companions and
exterminate these pests all at once.
Nanziing unleashes the full might of his
beast taming talent, ins snaring the
surrounding creatures as his energy
engulfs the wolves. A guard notices the
packs have halted their advance,
immediately suspecting a beast tamer is
at work. He suggests they find this
hidden master. Convinced they could be
an invaluable asset, Nanziing takes
command of a 100,000 steel giant wolves,
then orders them to obliterate the
convoy, leaving no one alive. A guard
reports to the officer. The beast tamer
failed, and they're now completely
swarmed by a tide of creatures. The
officer snarss, demanding they suppress
everything immediately with overwhelming
firepower. The men in the vehicles open
fire on the surrounding wolves, but the
creatures are relentless, leaping onto
the vehicles and tearing into the
soldiers. The guard grabs both the
officer and the woman, warning them this
place is lethally dangerous. Panicked,
[music] he demands they activate the
teleportation immediately to get them to
safety. But just as they prepare for
activation, a wolf lunges at the group.
Miraculously, the bodyguard manages to
teleport away, leaving two wolves to
watch the scene unfold. Immediately
after, a monstrous three-headed beast
materializes right in front of the
guard. He steals himself to face the
creatures, boldly, declaring they'll
soon feel the wrath of a level five
esper. He then activates the nano cage
teleportation as another man assists him
while even more wolves close in.
Realizing the nano cage's limited range,
he quickly orders a teleport straight to
the ancient city walls, sending them all
away in a flash. Upon reaching their
destination, a figure emerges from the
shadows. I was waiting, he draws. You
took longer than expected. The guard
demands to know who's there, and
everyone looks up at the armed man. The
figure reveals himself as Nanzi Ying,
much to the officer's absolute shock.
Lin Yukai immediately questions him.
Were you the beast tamer? Are you here
to kill me? Nanzi Ying simply replies,
"Bingo." [music] The officer immediately
threatens him, but the young man just
grins. "Oh, I totally believe you." He
snears. [music] "It's just a shame you
won't get that chance." Then he lunges
at the bodyguard. Nanzying grabs the
officer by the neck, who struggles to
utter a single name. The bodyguard
desperately tries to teleport, vowing to
get him out of there. At that very
moment, Nanziing activates his
terrifying skill. Assura Dragon Hunter.
He charges forward, directly colliding
with the bodyguard's frantic energy. The
man panics, realizing he can't use his
teleportation. Are you a highlevel
esper? He screams just before being
utterly engulfed by Nanziing<unk>s
destructive energy. His body crashes to
the ground and he whimpers, begging for
his life. Nanziing simply replies, "I'm
sorry." Then, with a casual flick, he
hurls Lin Yukai high into the air as the
man screams, "You traitor!" The
three-headed beast immediately charges
towards the official, and the creatures
descend upon him without an ounce of
hesitation. Nanziing simply turns his
back, bidding Lin Yukai a silent
farewell. Meanwhile, at the super
abilities research department, a woman
leisurely relaxes in a bathtub,
remarking on the incredibly powerful
Esper aura emanating from Y City. Su
Lang's eyes snap open. The strange
sensations from days ago weren't an
illusion. A truly supreme Esper has
emerged in that very location. She
immediately decides she needs to report
this unprecedented event to the
department. Nanziing declares the coast
is clear, [music] telling everyone to
come out of hiding. The wolves
immediately swarm him, licking him
relentlessly as he begs them to stop.
One particularly stubborn beast ignores
his please, persistent in its slobbery
affection. Finally, he snaps, ordering
them all to settle down and behave. He
steps away from the ruined vehicles,
muttering that there's nothing left to
do about them. Turning to a specific
wolf, he praises it for a job well done.
He rewards it with a gentle pat on the
head, then warns the others to hold
their horses. With that, he announces a
brand new mission for his loyal pack.
There to head to the northern jungle and
hunt down source stones for him. Nanzing
stands before his entire pack, bathed in
the glow of the full moon. Later, at the
Yay City slaughterhouse, Nanziing meets
with Jang Yuan. She reports that Lin
Yukai and his crew ran into a beast tide
yesterday and were completely wiped out.
Naturally, she asks if he was behind it.
He casually confirms, reminding her he
did say he wanted some mutant wolves.
Shocked, Jang Yuen wonders if he can
also control beasts. Nanzi warns her
that some secrets are best left unsaid.
She then reveals she's already submitted
the evidence against Lein Yukai and his
assets will be confiscated soon. [music]
A piece of good news Nanziing readily
agrees with. Jang Yuan offers to buy him
a celebratory drink, but he declines,
citing the impending national crisis.
not really in the mood, but he adds if
she really wants to show her gratitude,
there's another way. Intrigued, [music]
she asks what he has in mind. Nanziing
proposes transforming this very spot
into Ya City's largest slaughter house.
Jang Yuan agrees without hesitation,
convinced the higher-ups will absolutely
love the idea. With the slaughterhouse
up and running, he muses, harvesting
source stones from mutant animals will
be a breeze. He also plans to capture
the steel giant wolves and soon unleash
millions of beast tides. Just two days
later, Nanzying status updates. He's now
a level seven beast tamer in the
northern jungle. He dramatically
declares that the fate of the world
rests on his shoulders, and together
they will defend the blue star. His rank
immediately leaps to level eight beast
tamer, having tamed a staggering half a
million steel giant wolves in the
northern jungle. Next, he finds himself
in the White Bone Plains, encountering a
massive group of yaks. After a quick
scan, he identifies them as level six
blazing steel yaks and prepares to
assert his dominance. Nanzying activates
his taming ability and charges headfirst
into the herd. Once they're under his
control, he commands them to guard the
white bone plains and diligently collect
source stones. Strict orders are given.
No harming humans, no attacking cities,
and await further instructions. His
status updates once more. Still level
eight beast tamer, but now with a grand
total of 1 million tamed creatures, his
control panel proudly displays his
forces now strategically stationed
across both the northern jungle and the
white bone plains. In the treacherous
rift canyon, Nanziing plots to use his
remaining source stones to tame a group
of level seven mutant monkeys. As he
observes, he quickly realizes that level
seven beasts possess a far more
formidable aura than the wolves and yaks
he's encountered so far. Suddenly, one
of the monkeys lunges at him with
lightning speed. Nanziing barely manages
to defend himself from the ferocious
assault. He quickly attempts to activate
his taming ability on the primate. To
his slight relief, he confirms the
beasts are still within his taming
range. Just then, the rest of the monkey
troop swarms him, encircling him from
every direction. A sudden, jarring sound
rips through the air, forcing him to
glance over his shoulder. A projectile
shrieks directly towards him. He barely
dodges it, weaving out of the way in the
nick of time. The enraged monkey roars
furiously, realizing Nanziing's taming
attempt has failed. Nanzying declared
he'd force these beasts into submission
before he could even think about taming
them. With a fierce roar of Assura
Berserker, he charged, his attack
shattering the very ground beneath him.
Then, activating his beast taming
ability at full power, he plunged head
first into the dark abyss below. It
suddenly dawned on Nanziing. That
booming roar had been the exact reason
his previous taming attempt failed. He
realized he couldn't waste energy on
these small fries. He had to take down
the real boss pulling the strings. Just
then, a powerful attack rained down from
above towards the creatures. Nanziing
materialized in its path, intercepting
the blow with ease. Though he couldn't
help but note the impressive, albeit
mindless, power behind it. "Too bad all
that strength isn't backed by an ounce
of brains," he scoffed. [music]
Suddenly, a new challenger emerged,
striking one of the beasts with a
powerful sideblow. A massive four-eyed
creature watched the unfolding conflict
with keen interest. Nanziing, impressed
despite himself, conceded, "Not a bad
move. I'll give you that." But he
quickly added, "Still, you all are
severely underestimating this new
master." Without a moment's hesitation,
he retaliated, slamming another beast
against the cliff wall. "Enough hiding,"
he roared. "Show yourself." A gigantic
creature shrouded in inky shadows
finally materialized, its voice booming.
"It's time for a change in leadership."
Nanzying couldn't help but marvel at its
sheer imposing size. "I'd be on my knees
right now," he muttered if it weren't
for my Acera ability keeping me upright
under this insane pressure. He quickly
deduced that this monkey king had to be
at least level 9, maybe even higher. The
colossal creature lunged forward with
astonishing speed. One moment, Nanzi
Ying was facing it, the [music] next he
was inside its gaping m. "Seriously," he
quipped. "You actually think you can
just eat me?" he quickly promised. Well,
I won't be an easy meal. Unleashing his
Assura fury blade, he plunged it deep
into the monster's interior, striking
the Monkey King's chest directly. The
force of the blow sent the gargantuan
body reeling backward, launching it
clear off the cliff face. It plummeted
down, crashing violently against the
ground below. Nanzing dusted himself
off, a smirk playing on his lips. "Guess
I really need to make it clear who the
real boss of this place is, huh?" he
mused. With that, he activated Assura
Hell on Earth mode, unleashing his full
devastating power. Meanwhile, elsewhere,
a young girl rubbed her eyes, whining to
her older sister. "Are you sure about
what you felt? It's past 3:00 in the
morning. I need my beauty sleep to grow,
you know." Her sister, Su Lang, was
unfazed. "That intense killing intent
couldn't have been a mistake," she
stated gravely. "Our superiors want Yes
City closely monitored." She then glared
at the girl. "And stop calling me older
sister." The girl, undeterred, shot
back. Fine then, auntie. Before their
bickering could continue, Su Lang
abruptly cut her off. Something's
approaching. Get ready. We're tracking
it down to the Fisher Canyon southwest
of Ye City. Her partner immediately
confirmed the order. With a focused
gaze, Chen Kir began to activate her
unique ability to track time and the
very fabric of the universe. Her eyes
glowed, transforming as the powerful
technique enveloped her. At that exact
moment, Nanzying unleashed his signature
attack. Hell on Earth. He lunged at the
monster, delivering a devastating full
force blow that sent the creature
hurtling backward from the sheer impact.
Back at the agency, their tracking
machine violently shuddered, nearly
knocking Su Lang and Chener off their
feet. Su Lang instinctively gripped
Chenair, her voice urgent. "What did you
see?" Still visibly shaken, the young
girl stammered. "He's He's a terrifying
Assura demon. Had enough fun yet?"
Nanzing asks as the colossal ape stands
before him, visibly drained. Still, he
pushes. Get up. Fight me again. This
time I won't go easy. In response, the
creature slams its massive fist [music]
into the ground with a thunderous roar.
What a waste it would be to die like
this. With so much fight left in you,
Nanzying muses. The monkey then extends
its own fist, stopping inches from his
face, proposing he join its ranks to
face the 10,000 races together. Nanzi
Ying touches the extended fist, a slight
smirk playing on his lips, and calls it
a good boy. Moments later, he
deactivates his Assura mode. Turning to
his newly acquired army of a million
monkeys, he issues his command. From
this day forward, you are all to serve
under the monkey king. Protect Rift
Canyon and gather source stones.
Absolutely no attacking cities. Await my
further instructions. A notification
screen instantly pops up detailing the
newly tamed beasts and their territorial
distribution. The scene shifts to the
paranormal investigation and monitoring
agency. Suang leans into Chenier. I felt
another energy signature last night, but
my tracking skills are still limited.
She wonders aloud if those two immensely
powerful signatures could possibly
belong to the same person. Chenier
dismisses the thought, reminding her of
the mysterious families holding hidden
positions in the Eastern Esper rankings.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, she
conceds. It's time to announce the
rankings. A display screen flashes to
life, revealing the rankings. In 10th
place, a mysterious man in black
appears, his Assura ability listed at an
unknown level. The very next day, news
explodes across the Eastern Alliance. A
mysterious figure has secured the 10th
spot in the rankings. Online, various
users buzz about the new Eastern Assura
Esper. Some comment, "I'd rather be an
irrational killing machine than turn out
like Nanziing." Back at the
slaughterhouse, Shaolu hands Nanzi a
cloth. Your phone won't stop ringing,
boss. Nanzing checks it, reading the
devastating news. The Mi Country, the
Mad Country, and the Eighth Defense Line
have all fallen. A breaking news report
confirms the Eastern Alliance has
activated its veteran recall policy,
mobilizing for the fifth defense line.
Nanzying<unk>s face hardens. This time,
defeat is closing in even faster. The
recall is happening much sooner than
expected. His thoughts drift to his
father, and just then, a message
arrives. An invitation for dinner at
home. Meanwhile, an older man,
Nanzi<unk>s father, apologizes to a
reporter. I've just finished cooking for
my family. They're about to arrive.
You're welcome to join us. The reporter
declines, insisting she only needs a
quick interview about the veteran
recall. He agrees, preparing himself.
"What were your thoughts when you signed
up for the veteran recall?" She probes.
[music] "It's my duty," his father
states, unwavering. "There's no question
about it." She then asks about his son's
refusal to enlist. His father remains
silent. Just then, a woman arrives,
accompanied by two young adults. "I
found Shiaoying and Shiaosan at the
neighborhood entrance," she announces,
then asks her husband, "and you giving
an interview?" He gestures for them to
sit, promising. I'll be right with you.
His wife nods. He introduces his family
to the reporter. It's rare for us to all
gather like this. This is my wife,
Chinu, a factory volunteer. Our
daughter, Nanzishan, is an esper doctor,
and our son, Nanzi Ying, works at the
slaughterhouse, doing his part to
support the front lines. As long as he
stays true to his ethics, I support his
choices. Nanzi Ying listens, head bowed,
saying nothing. The reporter then turns
her gaze to the young man. Mr. Nanzing,
"What are your thoughts on the fall of
the Eastern Alliance's eighth defense
line?" "Stop pressuring him," his father
interjects, his voice sharp. He
continues, his voice cracking slightly.
"I was originally assigned to the sixth
defense line, but I volunteered for the
seventh. My son's work, slaughtering
mutant beasts, is an essential
contribution to the war effort."
Nanishan steps forward. "I just
volunteered as a medical esper for the
seventh defense line myself." Even his
mother offers, "If that's not enough,
I'll go in his place." The reporter,
embarrassed, quickly apologizes and
exits with her crew. Nanzying<unk>s hand
tightens into a fist on the table. He
looks up at his father. "Dad," he
stands, his decision made. "I'll go with
all of you." His mom asks where he's off
to so late, but Nanzying quickly
explains there's an unforeseen problem
at the slaughter house. She presses,
wondering if it can't wait until after
dinner. Before he can reply, his father
cuts in, telling her to let him go,
reminding her that everyone has their
own responsibilities. Without another
word, Nanziing turns and leaves in
silence. The scene shifts to the gloomy
ancient sunken forests. [music] He races
through the trees, telling himself
there's still time tonight. With that
goal in mind, he decides he'll tame the
war elephants. The young man stops in a
clearing and yells for whatever is
hidden to show itself. A massive
monstrous elephant emerges from the
trees. Without hesitation, he lunges
forward and delivers a deep gash to the
creature's leg. Then, he leaps onto the
beast's head, warning it that his time
is limited and he has no time for games.
Immediately after, he uses his skill to
subdue the elephant mounted on the now
tamed beast. He orders it to warn its
comrades. Anyone who opposes will be
executed. Another war elephant ambles
through the dark forest. Soon, several
more war elephants charge through the
trees. The creatures visibly flinch with
fear and retreat. Nanziing then relays
his orders to the war elephants. He
instructs them to protect the primeval
sunken forests. Additionally, he
commands them to gather source stones
and await further instructions. A status
screen pops up revealing he's reached
beast tamer level 8 with 3 million
creatures under his command. Another
screen details troop deployment and his
formation master status. Nanzing remarks
that he's finally unlocked the formation
tree. Given this, he decides to further
accelerate his leveling and return to
the slaughterhouse for more source
stones. Back at Y City's slaughterhouse,
he walks among the carcasses of the
slaughtered beasts. With enough source
stones to level up, he resolves to test
out his new sword key formation. The
creatures trapped in their cages begin
to stir. With eyes closed, he summons a
thousand blades by the power of heaven
and earth. Countless energy blades begin
to spin around him. Next, he activates
the sword chief formation. The formation
springs to life, creating an intense
whirlwind of energy. Nanzing observes
that a single level one formation is
still far too weak. So, he decides to
stack two sword chief formations
totaling 2,000 blades. He realizes that
with formations installed in each
workshop, the place will practically run
itself. In the second slaughter
workshop, he activates [music] 2,000
bloodlust formations. An hour later, a
status screen confirms his formation
master system has been upgraded to level
two. At daybreak, Nanzi Ying gazes at
the sky, concluding it's time to bid
everyone farewell and head to the front
lines. Just then, Shiaoli arrives at the
slaughter house, greeting Auntie Wong
and Auntie Jang. They notice the open
door, and one comments that he probably
came back right after dinner. Auntie
Wong blames the reporters for what
happened. She explains she spent the
entire night arguing with trolls in the
news comments section. Her phone
displays an article about Nanziing<unk>s
father, followed by countless negative
comments about him. Shao reacts, saying
they've crossed the line while the other
colleague expresses concern for their
boss. Suddenly, Nanziing appears,
startling all three of them. He remarks
that he arrived at just the right time
as he needs to hand over a few things to
everyone. Shaolu stares at him, asking
if he's really planning to do that thing
she's thinking of. A senior figure
approaches, handing Nanzi a letter from
his father. The words jump off the page.
His father and sister are already on
their way to the battlefield, sharing
the heavy burden of their family's honor
and shame. His father knows Nanzying is
planning something grand, reminding him
he's never shied away from a challenge.
Then comes the bombshell, the mysterious
Assura on the leaderboard. That's
Nanzying. His father advises him to
stand firm, ignore the whispers, and
look after his mother, who remains in
the city. Nanzi finishes the letter
signed with love and respect by Nan
Shenhong. His colleagues quickly try to
reassure him, insisting he shouldn't
overdo it. His work is vital, and those
supplies are crucial for the front
lines. Auntie Wong even vows to
personally silence anyone on the
internet who dares badmouth him again.
He thanks them all, states he's fine,
and then announces he has something
important to tell them. The construction
of the fifth reserve defense line has
been announced, and he intends to apply
for the project's chief engineer
position. He quickly reassures the group
that this won't delay their current work
at the slaughter house. A convoy of
military vehicles rolls past a
snow-covered statue on a desolate road.
Among the crowd, Nanziing watches them
pass, affirming to himself that his
father's words are etched in his heart.
He reflects that going to the
battlefield now would change nothing.
He'd just kill a few monsters and leave
his mother unprotected. Worse, without
Zenos providing source stones for his
own enhancement, he'd ultimately be
powerless to protect anyone. To truly
win, he decides to pour all his efforts
into the fifth defense line, humanity's
last hope, vowing not to disappoint his
father. Three days later, at the
construction site, Chief Engineer Nan is
showered with praise for his tireless
work. Engineer Lee explains the defense
line steel wall will stand 30 m tall, 50
m thick, and stretch for 300 km. Nanzi
thanks his team, but quickly adds that
the wall is just a facade. It won't be
enough to stop the monsters. The real
defense, he reveals, will come from
formations. For that, he'll need a ton
of source stones, of which he already
has three and a half million. The
uninhabited area between Yei City and
the defense line proves to be the ideal
spot to begin deploying these
formations. So, he sets to work,
installing 50,000 blazing flame
formations across a single kilometer
under the sun and moon. He then summons
a giant elemental. Shortly after, he
deploys 50,000 elemental sword chi
formations and finally orders another
50,000 blazing flame formations stacked
every kilometer. Nonzing continues
stacking tens of thousands of elemental
sword chi and blazing flame formations
across the entire length. A status
screen pops up revealing his formation
master level has risen to three with
500,000 formations now deployed. He
surveys the landscape ahead now 10 km
covered in layers of level two
formations. Seeing this, he decides to
save his source stones for the second
layer. These current formations should
be enough to stall lower level Zenos.
With that, he completes the first
defensive layer around Yes City,
totaling 1,250,000
stacked level two formations. The next
day, engineer Lee rushes onto the
construction site, clearly agitated, to
report a problem. Breathless, he shoves
his phone forward, showing news reports
labeling the plan ineffective and
stating the public is in an uproar.
Nanzing calms him down, instructing
construction to continue as planned.
He'll present a new enhancement plan. He
reveals the defense line is actually a
decoy designed to lull the Zenos into a
false sense of security before they hit
the real formations. As he speaks, an
idea sparks. How to make the defense
line more practical beyond just
deceiving the enemy. Suddenly, a
brilliant idea strikes him. Nanzying
snatches the clipboard from Engineer
Lee's hands. Even without having
unlocked the command rune element
ability, he begins preparing the ground
for its future deployment. He instructs
the engineer to build two moes. A front
one filled with water and a rear one
brimming with crude oil. The plan?
Electrify the wall in water when the
Zenos arrive, then ignite the oil to
burn them alive. Engineer Lee, utterly
thrilled, declares he'll take this
brilliant idea straight to City Hall. As
the engineer scurries off, Nanzi Ying
muses that once he unlocks the command
rune element, this defense will get way
more interesting. With recent kills and
the beast tides [music] harvest, he now
has enough source stones to level up,
reaching level four. The cities of Juan,
Q, and Gan now boast a 45 mile defense
line, equipped with 375,000
level two formations. A status screen
indicates his formation master level is
now four, though the next upgrade is
still a while away. Suddenly, Nanzying
senses a familiar powerful Zenos aura.
At the same time, he detects an equally
intense human aura nearby. He looks
down, concluding the situation isn't
looking good at all. He realizes the
Zenos are trying to assassinate one of
their own. Deep in the mountains, hidden
away, lies the Chu clan. Suddenly, a
figure emerges from their secluded
retreat, and the resulting explosion
devastates the entire surrounding area.
Patriarch Chu Chong Xang immediately
questions why Shinghi left seclusion 2
years ahead of schedule. Chu Shinghi
explains he sensed a powerful aura from
the northwestern border, an aura that
helped him advance his cultivation. The
patriarch finds this strange as that
region is known to be utterly devoid of
spiritual energy. Yet Shinghi insists
that's precisely why the phenomenon is
so significant. Shinghi then announces
his decision to personally visit the
border despite his master's warnings
about xenos scouts in the area. He leaps
into the air, declaring that danger is
inevitable in this apocalyptic era. Soon
after, he departs, utilizing his domain
flight, convinced the journey will be
well worth it if he can get some
guidance from the expert whose presence
he felt. An hour later, he encounters
impressive formations and concludes that
great masters must be hidden in the
northwest. Suddenly, he senses something
approaching, a massive winged creature
emerging in the night sky under the full
moon. Then, a Zenos from slaughter unit
3518 attacks him by surprise. Chuing
quickly dodges and counterattacks,
launching a projectile at another
smaller creature. But one of the Zenos
charges again, making the snow-covered
ground explode around him. At that
instant, he [music] realizes each
opponent is a member of an elite unit
that has been observing him for some
time. A decaying Zenos Colossus detects
a level 10 Esper Prodigy and immediately
receives the order to exterminate him.
The mechanical creature charges forward
to attack. Chuing immediately activates
his domain control to counterattack.
With the domain sword manifesto, he
summons the blazing hell's azure spirit
to strike his enemies, declaring that
all who dare invade his territory will
face his eternal wrath. Meanwhile,
Nanziing reflects that changes in the
timeline can directly affect prodigies.
He remembers that in the previous
timeline, their combined strength
ensured eight more years of war. Now,
acutely aware that the Zenos have sent
assassins, he decides he won't allow
them to fall prematurely. Chu Shinghi's
energy blades strike the mechanical
Zenos, but the decaying colossus blocks
the attack with its own arm. He admits
that facing two elite Zenos at the same
time is rapidly draining his strength.
Suddenly, both creatures attack
simultaneously with full force. The
impact of the collision hurls all three
away, devastating the surrounding
landscape. Chu [music] Singh is thrown
back, barely managing to block part of
the attack. He clutches a small
creature, wondering if his fate is to
meet his end in this desolate place.
Still, [music] he refuses to accept this
outcome, swearing he will take at least
one of them down with him. Someone
shouts a warning just as one of the
Zenos charges forward again. A gigantic
explosion erupts on the mountain side,
and amidst the smoke, Nanziing emerges,
supporting the wounded Chu Shingh,
recognizing him as the powerful senior
whose aura he had sensed. Chu Shinghi
stares as Nanziing asks, "Can you still
[music] fight? Even wounded," Shingh
affirms he can. And Nanziing proposes a
plan. "You face the Iron Slayer. I'll
deal with the decaying colossus. Chooing
agrees without hesitation and both
charge together against the xenos. The
colossus detects an esper of unknown
level and immediately issues the order
for extermination. Nanzying, however,
calmly comments that the slayer arrived
at the perfect time to test his
formations. Next, he activates the level
three twisted earth spike formation,
trapping the creature. However, he
quickly realizes that a single formation
of that level isn't enough against this
monstrous enemy. Faced with this, he
decides to go all out, stacking 50,000
earth spike formations along with 50,000
freezing formations. Ice spikes
violently erupt from the ground all
around, and the Iron Slayer is directly
hit by the freezing attack. A gigantic
ice structure erupts from the ground,
completely dominating the area, while
Chu Shingh directly confronts the
decaying colossus. Faced with the
overwhelming power of these formations,
he can only wonder just who is this man,
and what after all could be his true
purpose? A man observes the frozen
creature, confidently declaring they've
succeeded. Nanziing, however, instantly
snaps a warning. Be careful. Don't let
your guard down. True to his word, the
creature suddenly breaks free and lunges
at the man. Without a moment's
hesitation, Nanziing unleashes an
attack, activating his power and naming
it Assura. The Berserker technique rips
through the creature's body, tearing it
[music] apart. His companion stares in
shock, wondering if Nanziing is the
legendary rank 10 esper Assura. Nanzi
Ying stops before the fallen monster,
then turns and apologizes to his
companion for the delay. He approaches,
telling the man not to move and touches
his forehead. A 10-fold amplification
formation appears, applying itself over
the injured man. As his companion lies
on the ground, Nanziing simply tells him
to continue fighting. A system warning
flashes. The human body cannot withstand
more than 10 amplifications. it will
result in death. Moments later, the man
collapses and Nanzying cuts off the
process. The creature is still stirring,
making it too risky to continue in this
state. Nanzying decides he has no other
choice, then looks up, stunned by what
he sees in the sky. Chu Singh activates
his domain, then uses his sword
manifestation to bind the creature. But
then another figure shatters its icy
prison and leaps into the air, appearing
directly above Nanzi. Nanziing prepares
a level four lightning barrage
formation, overloading it 50,000fold.
Then he commands the attack to
exterminate the monster. The blast
strikes the creature, revealing
Nanzing<unk>s overwhelming combat power.
Chuing Hi kneels in gratitude, declaring
his clan forever indebted to Nanzing,
but Nanzing merely tells him to rise.
Chu Shingh then probes, questioning if
the mysterious Esperasura is planning
something monumental. Nanziing responds
that the time isn't right. Shingghi
deduces that by positioning these
formations, Nanzying intends to
transform this location into the
ultimate battlefield against the Zenos.
Following his line of thought, he asks
if Nanzing surname begins with N. Chu
Singhi explains it wasn't hard to figure
out. The Assura class represents pure
carnage, and the man mentioned in the
news commands a slaughter house. He adds
that the formations are close to the
fifth line of defense, so he won't say
anymore to avoid detection. He concludes
that it's all just intuition and a
hunch, asking not to be held responsible
if he's wrong. Chuing admits he's been
in reclusion for 10 years. Nanzying
simply declares, "You [music] win."
Shingi then offers to lead the Chu clan
to the seventh line of defense, buying
time for Nanzi<unk>s plan. Nanziing
reflects on the existence of such
extraordinarily intelligent people in
the world. He thanks Shingi, but warns
him the front lines are extremely
dangerous and asks him to promise to
survive. Chushing interrupts, assuring
him he understands the situation and
will protect everyone on the seventh
line of defense. Nanziing remembers his
father and younger sister, then asks to
be taken to the clan, wanting to gift
everyone his amplification formation.
Along the way, Chu Shingi comments that
his younger sister possesses
teleportation abilities that could be
extremely useful. News reports begin to
flood in, announcing that Chu Shinghi,
the Chu Clan's prodigy and a mysterious
formation master, have rapidly ascended
the Esper rankings. In the streets,
people comment that these prodigies are
flying directly into war, reaching the
front lines long before the veterans.
Chu Shingh leaves his younger sister Chu
Tian in Nanzing<unk>s care. Nanzing
observes how tiny she is, then questions
if Shingh is actually asking him to be a
babysitter. From a distance, two people
watch, commenting that while one prodigy
fights on the battlefield, the loser
Nanzing is just playing with children.
Chuen uses her power on a lollipop,
shattering it into pieces. Moments
later, a manhole cover is violently
flung into the air. right in front of
them. Someone screams that two ladies
fell into the sewer and Nanzying
immediately realizes who's responsible.
He then wonders if this girl is really
the Chu Tienne from the Esper rankings,
confirming it's a level eight spatial
ability. Nanzing greets her, realizing
that with her help, he'll no longer need
a disguise to use his necromancy.
Meanwhile, he mentally braces himself
for the challenges yet to come. His
fourth ability, necromancy, finally
awakens, demanding a million undead to
evolve to the next level. A woman is
stunned when she learns Nanziing plans
to take over the work of 20 entire
cities along the fifth defensive line.
She immediately questions how he could
possibly handle such an insane workload
and the immense distances involved.
Nanziing just tells her to relax and get
the necessary authorization, which she
assures him won't be a problem. He
thanks her, bids farewell, and says he
still has a lot on his plate. As the
woman watches him leave, she wonders why
he chose to work in the rear instead of
pushing directly to the front lines.
Moments later, Nanziing summons Chuen to
join him, and she readily agrees. He
praises her excellent work as she stands
proudly beside her powerful summons.
Nanziing announces that the invocation
is about to begin and instructs Chu Ten
to teleport them to the Chin Emperor's
mausoleum. Chu Tien activates her
teleportation ability without
hesitation. However, they both instantly
appear in a completely different,
dangerous location, surrounded by
hostile creatures. Nanzying immediately
realizes this isn't the mausoleum at
all. she's teleported them to the wrong
place. He quickly deduces that her
amplified teleportation has a strict 100
km range limit. Suddenly, a marker
appears, indicating that this is now the
only possible path to the mausoleum.
Given their predicament, he quickly
tells Chuen to find a safe spot. The
girl vanishes in an instant, prompting
Nanzing to remark that she's even
smarter than her own brother. Next,
Nanzing activates his powerful
necromancy skill. He commands the
ancient spirit of the great Chin dynasty
to awaken. A massive wave of spiritual
energy bursts forth from the ground.
Moments later, a colossal ghostly figure
materializes, [music] its voice booming
as it demands to know who dares disturb
its slumber. Nanziing takes in the
imposing presence. Considering that
perhaps a dialogue is possible, he
implores the emperor to lend him his
formidable army, but is immediately
dismissed as an insolent child. The
emperor scoffs, asking if Nanziing truly
believes his legendary soldiers exist
merely to be commanded by anyone. If he
wishes for their service, he must first
prove himself worthy. Nanziing
unflinchingly accepts the challenge and
immediately activates his terrifying
Assura mode. The emperor scoffs at his
display, boastfully, declaring that he
himself unified six entire realms in his
time. The two titans then clash in a
devastating direct frontal assault.
Nanzi declares that true worth can only
be forged and revealed through battle.
The emperor retorts, branding him an
arrogant fool. Nanziing unleashes the
powerful Assura technique, Dragon
Hunter. The emperor swiftly counters,
vowing to show Nanzi what a true dragon
hunter looks like. He then summons his
ultimate supreme power. He unleashes the
devastating nine dragons destruction
upon Nanziing. The young warrior
fiercely counters, deploying the Assura
technique, Demon Hunter. Recognizing the
ancient spirit's overwhelming strength,
Nanzi unleashes the absolute maximum
power of Assura. Immediately afterward,
he activates his terrifying ability,
hell on earth. The Emperor dismisses the
attack with a sneer, treating it as
nothing more than a childish act.
Nanzying simply challenges him with a
single potent question. To the emperor's
horror, Nanzing<unk>s technique begins
to slowly consume his mighty dragon. The
ancient spirit is utterly stunned,
questioning how such a feat is even
possible. Nanzing then kneels
respectfully before the emperor, asking
forgiveness from his majesty. But then
in a swift move, he lunges forward and
delivers a direct decisive strike. The
emperor roars for him to stop, warning
that he'll bring the entire mausoleum
crashing down on them both. Nanzi Ying
retracts his weapon, respectfully bowing
and thanking his majesty. The ancient
spirit, finally admitting defeat,
conceds that it has been dormant for far
too many years. But before he'll lend
his legendary army, he demands the
entire story be told to him first. The
emperor hands Nanzing a tiger talisman,
explaining that with it, he's bound to
protect his descendants. Gripping the
artifact, Nanzing summons the legendary
warriors of Chin. He calls them to
defend their homeland, and a colossal
energy erupts from the ground,
manifesting an entire army. The system
screen flashes. 100 million soldiers
invoked. Just then, the elemental
forbidden spell skill tree finally
unlocks, granting Nanzi Ying devastating
elemental magic, whose power grows with
every single level. The emperor warns
him about Zenos assassins hunting two
prodigies in opposite directions.
Nanziing admits he can't save both
alone. Faced with this impossible
choice, the emperor calls upon Wongjian
and Mong Tian. The two fantasmal
generals appear, instantly ordered to
crush the invaders. Nanziing then tells
his majesty to head east while he'll
handle the west, shouting for Chuen to
join him. Meanwhile, elsewhere, puppet
master Su Chang of the Sue clan finds
himself surrounded by monstrous
creatures. He laments his terrible
timing as he questions the sudden surge
of energy. He unleashes his collision of
a 100 phantom skill, commanding the
monsters to die, but is wounded in the
process. Still not enough. Such changes,
ins snaring one beast with his threads.
He calmly tells his puppet not to worry,
claiming the opponent is a friend who
won't hurt her. However, the Zenos
attacks without hesitation, brutally
demonstrating that there's no mercy,
even among its own kind. Seeing the true
nature of his foe, he urges his puppet,
"Fight. Show them what you're made of."
The relentless onslaught continues,
striking both Suchanga and his puppet.
Another monster charges, and he barely
dodges before a winged Zenos joins the
fry. "A pack of rabid dogs!" Such Chang
snars, defending himself against their
savage blows. He decides if he's going
down, he's taking every single alien
bastard with him. A mysterious light
then flares in his chest, making him
wonder what it means. Just then, Emperor
Chin Shuang materializes, offering aid
on behalf of someone else, and is
immediately recognized. The emperor
urges him to finish the fight quickly.
Such Chang thanks him, though completely
bewildered by the situation. Chin Shu
Huang then turns to the invaders,
threatening his descendants and roars,
"No mercy for them." His fantasmal
warriors confirm their majesty's
command, and the spiritual army charges,
tearing into the Zeno's horde. In a
desolate desert west of the Chin
mausoleum, Chinying desperately tells
his sister, Chin Sway, [music] to run at
his signal, but she stubbornly refuses.
He pleads with her to listen as they
both stare down a monstrous horde. With
no other choice, Chinying activates his
plant invocation, summoning a mighty
Lonewood behemoth before them. He
screams for his sister to flee while
there's still time, but one of the vile
creatures smashes straight through his
summoned beast. Chinyang binds the
enemies with a tangle of vines only to
be attacked from behind. The Zeno's
beast prepares to charge his sister and
in a primal roar, he screams, "How dare
you touch my younger sister?" Enraged,
[music] he unleashes a choking grip,
attacking the monster with unbridled
fury. Just then, his sister warns him of
danger from above. And as an attack
descends, she leaps forward, shielding
her brother. Suddenly, Nanziing appears
on the battlefield, immediately,
commanding Chuen to teleport all the
monsters 1 kilometer south. Instantly,
[music]
everyone reappears in the new location.
Nanziing orders the siblings to stay
still and silent. He then declares he
will amplify their powers 10fold.
Finally, he instructs them to handle
half the monsters once the amplification
is complete, while the other half will
face the sheer destructive power of his
forbidden spells. Nanzying unleashes a
forbidden lightning spell, overcharging
it a hundfold. The devastating attack
obliterates the monsters and his system
proudly announces a skill level up.
Chinsuy immediately scolds him. You
should have only taken out half and left
the rest for us. Nanzying sheepishly
apologizes, admitting he got a little
carried away and didn't expect the spell
to be that powerful. Chinying points out
there are still a few enemies left. The
brothers charge forward with a joint
vine strike while Nanziing executes an
infernal armlock. The vines swiftly coil
around the remaining monsters, securing
them tightly. Nanziing, having witnessed
enough of their combat prowess,
declares, "I've seen enough from you
two. The last enemy is mine." He then
prepares another forbidden spell. This
time of the earth element, overcharging
it 50 times, a colossal stone arm erupts
from the ground. With a simple command
to bury it, the earth rises and swallows
the creature whole. Chuen observes the
entire spectacle from a distance.
Chinyang turns to his sister. "I thought
of a name for that." She nods in
agreement. He suggests flipping the
heavens, but she counters with earth in
chaos. They both realize their ideas
aren't exactly in sync. Immediately
after, the two siblings kneel,
expressing their profound gratitude to
Nanziing on behalf of the Chin clan for
saving their lives. Nanziing wonders if
all ancient clans bow down like this.
The siblings in unison offer their very
lives to their benefactor, swearing to
obey any command without hesitation.
Nanzying then asks, "Do you even know
who I am?" Both admit they don't.
Apologizing for not asking his name
sooner. He muses that not every prodigy
is as sharp as Chu Shinghi. Suddenly,
the emperor's voice echoes, remarking
that the young man's temperament matches
his own, suggesting they could have been
great friends. Such changes with the
emperor, asking if this masked figure is
the one the emperor spoke of. The spirit
confirms it. Such changes his gratitude
for being saved, acknowledging his
massive debt to Nanzi. Nanziing then
makes two requests. Take me to your
clans and prepare everyone for a
collective amplification boost. Such
changing with the bewildered siblings
asks, "Amplification? What's that?"
Nanzying gives them a practical
demonstration, applying a 10-fold
amplification directly to Su Chang. As
Such Chang reels from the effects,
Nanziing prepares to reveal something
more. Chinyanging asks what else their
benefactor desires, but Nanzying
hesitates, contemplating sending them to
the front lines. He questions the
morality of sending others to war while
he remains in the rear. Ultimately, he
simply tells them, "Just take good care
of yourselves." Such changes, "You have
trouble expressing yourself, don't you?"
He presses further. "Why don't you ask
for help? Do you see us as a burden?
You're trying to play the lone hero in
the shadows." Chinsu immediately scolds
him for speaking to their benefactor
that way. But Nanzying admits, "He's
right." He then instructs them, "Lead
your clans to the seventh defensive line
and meet me at the fifth when this is
all over. That's when I'll reveal my
true face. The others accept his orders
without hesitation. Nanziing then
entrusts the 10 million Chinclan
soldiers to the emperor, who understands
immediately. Nanziing bows in gratitude
to everyone, but they urge him to rise.
The emperor then declares, "The blood of
emperors runs through your veins, and
your spirit shall never perish." News
reports flood in. While some prodigies
lead their clans to the defense lines,
others are being systematically
slaughtered. Across various regions,
desperate groups of people are horrified
to learn that humanity's future, the
prodigies, [music]
are being killed one by one. Nanzying
realizes these talents are awakening
earlier than they should. But he also
understands he can't guarantee
everyone's safety. He concludes he must
strike at the heart of the problem.
Trying to save every single person would
be like trying to empty the ocean with a
single bucket. Nanzying calls out to
Chuen, announcing, "We're heading to the
northern desert. There, I'll awaken the
five great prodigies to draw out every
last Xenos assassin. Finally, he
declares his ultimate goal. I plan to
capture them all in one fell swoop.
Nanziing requests Chuten lead them to
the nearby Han tombs. There, he cries
out, demanding the great ancestors of
the Han dynasty awaken, for the world
needs them once more. He specifically
summons Emperor Wu, General Weiqing, and
General Huo Chubing, declaring that all
who dare offend Han will face his unholy
wrath. The system screen flashes,
revealing a horrifying truth. Necromancy
now controls 70 million Chin Dynasty
soldiers and 20 million Han Dynasty
soldiers. Nanzing wastes no time,
ordering the 20 million Han warriors to
surge across the northern desert and
exterminate every last invader. Colossal
energy erupts skyward as Nanzing
announces the grand entrance of the five
prodigies has finally arrived. Without
hesitation, he decides to start with
Assura, activating hell on Earth mode to
its absolute maximum. Meanwhile, at the
Paranormal Investigation and Monitoring
Agency, sensors go wild, identifying the
presence of the mysterious Assura. One
agent gasps, realizing the detected
energy is now countless times stronger
than before, concluding he must have
entered full-blown Berserk mode.
Nanziing then commands his forces to
form ranks, front, rear, and flanks.
Suddenly, another powerful figure, a
formation master emerges. He invokes the
very power of heaven and earth to
shatter the firmament and seal the
ground. Simultaneously, he prepares an
elemental sword chi, an earth spike
formation, and a freezing formation.
These intricate formations overlap a
million times, expanding for a 100 miles
before they are even deployed. Back at
the agency, the agent detects another
massive energy wave erupting from the
same location. She wonders if this could
be the work of the infamous formation
master from the Esper rankings. Then, as
if things weren't chaotic enough, Douan,
another man, unleashes raw necromancy,
calling forth the great spirits of the
Han dynasty. The spectral figures of
Emperor Wu, Weiqing, and Ho Kubing
manifest, bellowing orders to annihilate
the invaders for the glory of Han. One
of the spiritual generals raises his
voice, giving the final command to
attack. Back at the monitoring center,
an agent whirls around in shock,
demanding to know what's happening. Her
colleague explains that besides Assura
and the formation master, there's now a
necromancy prodigy active in the
northern desert. The detected energy
signature is stronger than anything ever
recorded, shattering the conventional
10-le scale. The agent struggles to
classify the sheer power they're
witnessing. After a tense moment, she
defines it. Divine level. Her colleague
is utterly stunned, realizing there are
three divine level espers in the same
location. Without another word, they
immediately decide to report to military
command. Meanwhile, Nanzing overcharges
a forbidden light element spell by a
hundfold. An intense blinding brilliance
engulfs the entire region, illuminating
the city as if it were midday. A man
outside blinks, wondering if dawn has
already broken. Another person replies,
"It's only 10 at night. Check the news
if you want to understand that
phenomenon. The news channels are
buzzing, reporting on four mysterious
divine level prodigies converging in the
desert, sparking both amazement and
desperate hope among the populace. At
the front line of defense, a helicopter
crew receives urgent orders to head
immediately for the northwest border of
the northern desert. An officer warns
that the journey will take over an hour,
but his superior barks back, demanding
they get there as fast as humanly
possible. Suddenly, a fifth prodigy
unleashes his power. A beast tamer
summons an impossible army. 500,000
steel wolves, 500,000 flaming steel
yaks, a million monkeys, and a million
war elephants. He then commands all
these summoned creatures to gather,
forming an unstoppable tide. News of a
fifth divine level esper, a legendary
beast tamer, spreads like wildfire.
People everywhere begin connecting the
impossible recent events, their minds
reeling. At a pharmaceutical factory,
Chenlani shows the breaking news to Susi
Shan, who immediately recalls the man
controlling a pack of wolves in the
desert. Meanwhile, at the resource
center, Jang Yuan reads the frantic
headlines and instantly links everything
to Nanziing. An intense light then
erupts over the eastern sea, originating
from the LanClan's estate. Hongland
Chong Dong emerges from the waters,
determined to meet a beast tamer of such
formidable caliber. At the Zhua clan's
estate, Zhu Yuan sees the mastery of
elemental magic as a rare opportunity
and resolves to head straight for the
northern desert. Members of the Shang
Tian, Huang, and Yu clans also mobilize,
all converging on the same location.
Soon after, the coup clan joins the
surging movement of the other prodigies.
Nanzing observes it all, realizing the
immense commotion won't just draw in the
invaders, but also every ambitious
prodigy out there. With a sinister grin,
he concludes that everything is finally
in place. Now all that's left is to wait
for the Xeno assassins to make their
grand entrance. Meanwhile, Huang Schwen
of the Hang Clan finds himself
surrounded by assassins, refusing to die
in such a desolate place. He defiantly
challenges the filthy creatures, but
they suddenly freeze. Hanguan is
bewildered as his enemies simply turn
tail and flee from him. Elsewhere in the
desert, Zeno assassins are locked in
brutal combat against countless
monstrous creatures. A vast army churns
under a suffocating cloud of dust. And
then Nanziing finally arrives on the
battlefield. "The tides of beasts are
here," he declares before ordering his
undead and summoned creatures to unleash
a full-scale massacre. Nanziing
unleashes an Assura rampage, carving
through the shadowy creatures
surrounding him. But his advance is
suddenly halted by one of the
automatons. In response, [music] he
unleashes the Assura hell on Earth,
obliterating the surrounding monsters.
Meanwhile, a spirit creature finds
itself completely surrounded and
overwhelmed by the enemies. Nanziing
realizes that both the tides of beasts
and the undead spirits become far more
formidable under this amplification
boost. Even so, he notes that the beasts
are still outmatched by the
counterattacking Zenos. Likewise, the
undead spirits advancing in organized
formations are struggling. He concludes
that while the battle is thrilling,
continuing this way will lead to
unnecessary losses. So, Nanziing orders
the tides of beasts and undead spirits
to follow his precise instructions,
crushing the enemy from all sides. He
directs the beasts to focus on the steel
slayers and the trolls. At the same
time, he commands the undead spirits to
attack the poisonous ape men and
decaying giants within the Zenos
territory. He announces the activation
of the overlapping formation. The
technique activates, unleashing an
immense pillar of energy. Then, that
energy explodes, completely devastating
the surrounding area. Nanziing turns to
Chuen asking for her help with the next
step. He requests that she immediately
teleport him should any Zenos manage to
break through the formation and advance
towards the city walls. Suddenly, he
senses something and twists his body
sideways. [music] Tuten reacts
instantly, teleporting him away.
Nanziing appears in the air directly
above one of the monsters. The creature
looks up, staring right at him. He
invokes a forbidden wind element spell.
He then overloads the technique 50fold,
creating a terrifying tornado of fire.
The attack hits the troll dead on,
completely disintegrating it. Nanziing
celebrates the enemy's fall, telling
Chuen, "Next time you can aim a little
higher." The effort leaves him
breathless for a few moments. Surrounded
by even more enemies, he just shrugs,
figuring he'll eventually get used to
it. Soon after, he prepares to unleash
another forbidden spell, a lightning
element one, also overloaded 50fold.
Nanzi Ying declares that the prodigies
are almost here, and he needs to end
this battle fast. Then he unleashes the
forbidden spell known as the ascending
earth pursuer. With a 500fold overload,
the burial technique activates, trapping
the monster between massive rocks. The
rock creature witnessing this
overwhelming power, questions what kind
of technique this even is. Even Zhu
Yuan, the prodigy of the Zhuj clan,
wonders how someone could manipulate
Earth to such an absurd degree. The
scene leaves him completely baffled. A
violent clash of powers erupts across
the battlefield. Then Nanziing activates
an amplification formation on the
newcomers. Zuga Yuan writhes under the
overwhelming impact of the
amplification. Once the amplification
was complete, Zhua Yuan asked to be
teleported out and tried to get the
senior's name, wanting to thank him
personally. [music] As he was being
teleported, Nanziing revealed he'd left
a message for Zhu Yuan's group and the
military in the North Gobi Desert. The
payment for his help? Simple. Follow his
instructions. Zu Yuan watched the spot
where he vanished, concluding the man
wasn't ready to reveal his identity just
yet. [music] He decided to honor the
request and head straight to the North
Gobi Desert to check the message. A
squadron of military helicopters soon
approached a frozen mountainous region.
DJ Jangs commanding officer questioned
if they were even in the right place,
demanding to know where the Prodigy and
the Xenos assassins were. Suddenly, the
surrounding rocks began to shift and
float. Juju Juan emerged from the
rubble, informing the commander that the
formation prodigy had buried every
single Xenos assassin. The commander
immediately asked if he'd found the five
mystical prodigies. Juga Yuan explained
he'd only met the formation expert and
couldn't even recognize him, adding that
the man had vanished right after
amplifying their abilities, leaving only
a message. One of the younger soldiers
pointed to a massive rock, claiming the
five prodigy's message was carved there.
The commander turned to the stone and
ordered them to read what was written.
As he read the content, his eyes
widened. He barked orders. Photograph
this immediately. Summon all
high-ranking officers for an emergency
meeting. From a distance, Nanzying
lamented that it wasn't time to reveal
himself yet. He mused that this was the
only way to gain the military's full
cooperation. Any retribution would be 10
times worse if they knew he'd acted
unilaterally. Human nature, he knew,
became unpredictable during wartime, and
if his identity came to light now, all
his efforts would have been for nothing.
He then called Chu Tien, ordering them
to return to the slaughterhouse. Now
that everyone saw him as a coward, it
would be difficult to associate him with
the prodigies, making it the perfect
disguise for a strategist who operates
from the shadows. News alerts blared,
reporting that prodigies Juga Yuan and
Shuan Yuan Hong were leading their clan
members to reinforce the seventh line of
defense. During an emergency meeting,
one of the leaders informed them that
the message had been left by divine
level prodigies and that everyone
capable of reinforcing the seventh line
of defense had already departed. The
commander stood, declaring they were
there to discuss the message
specifically left for the military and
requested everyone's opinion. Yuan
Ruong, the leader of the Juan Yuan clan,
immediately declared this wasn't just a
message. It was a grand strategy. He
interpreted source of the volcano as an
artificial volcano, water of the sky as
a colossal channel, and forest of steel
as a metallic jungle. As for the sky
burning stones, those must refer to a
source stone stockpile massive enough to
swallow the heavens themselves. General
Fang Lin from the second line of defense
observed the carvings and speculated the
message was likely etched by the Assura
Prodigy. General Lee Fay from the third
line of defense agreed with the analysis
but deemed it madness to stake the
nation's fate on a message of unknown
origin. At that moment, an older
colleague requested to speak for a few
moments. Juke Chingan, the leader of the
Juke clan, argued that even if the
Assura had left the message, the other
prodigies were present. He continued,
explaining that the messages demands
clearly pointed towards large-scale
formations and that the prodigies must
have excellent reasons for remaining
hidden. Dwan Yuan Rulong, visibly
animated, rose and declared, "If there
was ever a time to bet everything, it's
now. When we stand on the brink of
collapse," the commander then declared
that the five divine level prodigies had
eradicated thousands of alien assassins
in under an hour. Their destinies, he
affirmed, were now irrevocably
intertwined. With renewed determination,
he declared they would proceed with the
plan. An official announcement declared
the nation would embark on four
monumental projects. A move that to the
general population sounded like absolute
suicide. Observing the commencement of
the works, Nanzing praised the swift
decision [music] and congratulated them
for making the right gamble. He added
that since they'd placed their faith in
him, he wouldn't disappoint them.
Engineer Lee approached, commenting that
the projects bore a striking resemblance
to what Chief Engineer Nan had been
developing. Just then, one of the
workers pointed to a monitor, asking
what that massive vortex in the sky was.
The engineer turned, alarmed and
reported it was coming from the seventh
line of defense. Nanziing reacted
instantly to the news. He recognized it.
The Zenos's vacuum portal opened 2 years
earlier than anticipated. Memories of
his father and sister flooded back.
Knowing the front lines would be
overwhelmed, he realized he needed to
find a way to reinforce them fast. He
then summoned 20 million Han Dynasty
warriors, ordering them to advance
toward the seventh line of defense.
Next, he called for 3 million beast
tides to answer his command. Finally, he
turned to Chu Tien, asking if there was
any way to teleport them along with the
beast tides [music] directly to the
front lines. Chuen strained with all her
might to initiate the teleportation.
Blood dripping from her mouth from the
sheer intensity. An unknown force pushed
down on her, causing her to cough up
even more blood. Nanzi Ying gripped her
shoulders, calling her name and alarm.
He warned her they were over a thousand
km from the defense line and that she
shouldn't force herself if she couldn't
manage it. The girl leaned on him for a
brief moment. Chu Tien straightened up,
her eyes blazing with absolute
conviction. I can do this, she declared.
On the battlefield of the seventh
defense line, a dimensional rift tears
open and an urgent alert blar, [music]
ordering all units to prepare for
combat. Commander Wong Lelay immediately
commands the prodigies to spearhead the
assault, demanding everyone hold the
line, even if it costs them their lives.
A soldier grumbles to his comrade, Nan
Shan Shong. Ammo's almost gone. Does it
even make sense to keep fighting like
this? Nan Shan Shong instantly rebukes
him. Look at the prodigies below. He
reminds him of their last near defeat
when the prodigies manifested an army of
10 million undead spirits and snatched
an impossible victory from the jaws of
despair. The soldier admits he doesn't
fear death, but rather the crushing
hopelessness of an endless war. He
points out that even the prodigies are
just flesh and blood. They tire, bleed,
and can die, too. They both watch the
young warriors on the battlefield,
mourning the children lost to this
brutal [music] place. Nan Shen Shong
then firmly places a hand on his
comrade's shoulder. That's precisely why
we give it our all. We'll cover them
with every last bullet, every last
breath, and die for them if we must. The
other soldier, renewed with conviction,
nods sharply. At that very moment, Wong
Llay bellows the order. Attack! One of
the young Chin Army warriors charges
forward, rallying his comrades to paint
the battlefield crimson with enemy
blood. Another prodigy unleashes his
sword domain, striking the ground with a
devastating impact. He then summons a
barrage of piercing blades, raining down
upon the monsters. The ethereal blades
surge forward, annihilating everything
in their path. Mounted on his spirit
beast, one warrior taunts the enemy.
Come on then, rise. Let's fight till the
bitter end. An elder warrior unleashes
his assault, declaring, "The might of
great Chin shall not be defiled."
Immediately after, another prodigy
conjures hell's grip, ins snaring the
foes in metallic vines. Shuingi [music]
spots the adversaries in the distance
and barks, "Troops! Open fire. Artillery
unleashes a relentless volley onto the
designated targets. The assault slams
into the enemy army, triggering a
cataclysmic explosion. Nan Shen Shong
continues to roar fire orders, demanding
the soldiers hold the line against the
relentless new wave of enemies. The
battle rages on the city walls with
hales of projectiles tearing through the
air from every direction. Commander Wong
Llay's gaze snaps up. What kind of Zeno
is that? He wonders, [music] having
never witnessed such a creature. A
gigantic chained monstrosity slams down
onto the battlefield, crushing the
surrounding spirit creatures. One
warrior recoils in shock at the
creature's immense size, as vast as the
city walls themselves. The colossal
beast then unleashes a massive beam
directly from its gaping m. Meanwhile,
another warrior deftly wields his
powers, pulling and ens snaring multiple
monsters simultaneously. The spirit of
Chini Huang commands Baichi to protect
Su Chenge, [music] and Baichi
immediately affirms. Su Chang is thrown
back by the impact, but assures everyone
he's fine, urging them to aid his
majesty instead. Chin Sher Huang then
rallies all soldiers to fight by his
side and bring down the monstrous
creature. The giant monster retaliates
with a massive blow, slamming directly
into the spirit warriors. The impact
strikes them full force, sending ripples
of raw energy across the battlefield.
With that, the spirits merge, forming a
single colossal warrior. Wang Lelay
orders the Esper Corps to contain the
remaining enemy forces while the
infantry pushes forward against the
smaller aliens. From a top the walls,
the soldiers swiftly respond to his
command. Next, [music] the commander
rallies all prodigies to join him in
capturing the enemy leader. 200 km from
the seventh defense line, a colossal
pillar of energy descends from the
heavens. The force slams into the
ground, a massive explosion erupting
amidst the monster army. Nanziing turns
to Chuian asking if she can still go on.
Chuian affirms, "Only 200 km left. My
brother is there." Such Chang requests
that Chin Shuang lead the undead army to
hold back the other aliens, leaving the
giant monster to them. The emperor's
spirit agrees, commanding his spectral
warriors to follow. Su Chang then leaps
into the fray, declaring it's his time
to shine. Wielding his power, he seizes
control of several Zenos, forcing them
to grapple onto the giant monster's head
for a critical 50 seconds. Meanwhile,
one of the prodigies expands his domain,
manifesting a colossal sword. The
massive attack slams into the
battlefield, unleashing pure
devastation. Another warrior unleashes
metallic alloy vines, blocking the Zenos
advance, while a warrior s encircles
them with Banyan's strangling hold.
Next, a warrior lunges forward,
attacking with blazing killin flames.
The inferno engulfs the colossal
creature, making it burn intensely.
Wonglay declares that while the monster
is powerful, it's no match for the
combined might of five espers. The giant
creature is then slammed by a colossal
sword, but it roars, retaliating with
its own monstrous weapon. Wonglay
screams, warning them not to get
distracted, urging them to keep up the
assault. The monster looms over them as
the warriors brace for the next
devastating blow. The creature spins its
weapon, creating a terrifying vortex of
blades. The deadly vortex surges
forward, obliterating everything in its
path. Just then, a helicopter screams
into view. A voice booms over the comms,
telling everyone to get clear,
announcing the creature will be blown to
Kingdom Come. Chu Shinghi looks up,
recognizing the voice instantly. Senior
Nan Shan Xiang. 3 minutes earlier, Nan
Shan had ordered Lao Jang to man the
artillery while he made his move. He'd
explained that this wasn't just any
alien. They needed to be ready with a
mini warhead in case the prodigies
failed. There was no other choice. He'd
stressed if the prodigies fell, humanity
would fall with them. Lao Jang,
grim-faced, had agreed. Back in the
present, Nan Shan Shong pilots the
helicopter, confronting the giant
aberration headon. On the ground, Chu
Shinghi screams desperately for him to
stop. Simultaneously, Wanglay orders
everyone to focus their group control
powers. His sacrifice wouldn't be in
vain. Inside the helicopter, Nan Shan
Shong reflects that the weight of this
war now rests squarely on the shoulders
of the young. He offers a silent
farewell, reaching for the detonation
button. Suddenly, a forbidden wood
element spell is conjured, materializing
a massive wooden dragon. Nanziing
commands the dragon to snatch the
helicopter away. The creature carefully
places the vehicle down, a calm voice
cutting through the chaos. Nan Shen
Shong is stunned within the cockpit.
[music] The instant the helicopter
lands, he recognizes his own son's
voice. The remaining warriors react to
the sudden arrival of their savior.
Nanziing tells Chu Shinghi to look after
Chuchian, then orders him to cut off all
satellite communications. Wong Lelay
immediately questions the order, but
Chuing Hay reassures him. You'll
understand soon enough. Back at the
command center, an officer reports
complete loss of contact with the
seventh line of defense. Dispatching a
recon team immediately, the commander
fears the prodigies are in grave danger.
Convinced the defense line fell far too
quickly, Nanzing moves against the
monster in an almost imperceptible blur,
then unleashes his full power in a
single devastating surge. The warriors
watch, stunned into absolute silence.
His attack collides violently with the
giant monster's weapon. Nanzying reveals
himself, identifying the enemy as a rank
of bloodline xenolade titan. He stares
it down, remarking that it's been far
too long since their last encounter.
Wong Llay wonders if this could be the
mysterious Assura everyone talks about.
His companion quickly dismisses the
idea, pointing out the forbidden magic
he just unleashed. The commander then
questions if it isn't one of those rare
dual class espers, but the other warrior
replies that what they're witnessing is
on a completely different level.
Confused, Wonglay asks for
clarification, then turns his full
attention to the unfolding chaos on the
battlefield. A spirit warrior charges
into the enemy ranks. The raw energy
unleashed by the generals sweeps away
and annihilates the surrounding
monsters. Wong lay reels from the
overwhelming might manifesting before
his eyes. As he watches a single warrior
laying waste to the battlefield alone,
he finally grasps the true meaning of
his companion's words. One of the
generals roars for the Han Dynasty army
to charge alongside him. At the same
time, the spirit of Chin Shir Huang
bellows, rallying the Chin Dynasty army
to fight and not be outmatched. Nanziing
leaps into the air, instructing all
soldiers and prodigies to seize the
chance to fall back and recover. Chu
Singh concurs with the retreat,
affirming he's got this situation
handled. The giant creature retaliates
with a colossal blow. Nanzying braces
for the massive assault. The impact
slams into him full force, sending him
hurtling backward. He announces the
activation of Assura Berserker mode.
Then he charges, unleashing a brutal
barrage of blows against the gargantuan
monster. Assura's dragon and demon
hunting techniques are executed in rapid
succession. Finally, he unleashes Assura
hell on Earth. The Blade Titan seems
obliterated, and one of the warriors
comments that they barely scratched it
before. Yet, he realizes that despite
its power, the creature shouldn't have
been defeated so easily. Parts of the
monster begin regrouping around
Nanziing, and someone shouts that it's
morphing. The creature takes on a
horrifying spherical form covered in
countless eyes. One of the onlookers,
alarmed, questions, "What the hell is
that?" Nanziing calmly states that now
that its final form is revealed, its
weak spot will be far easier to
pinpoint. Suddenly, he spins around as a
gigantic blade cleaves down towards him.
In the distance, Nan Shan Chong screams
a warning to watch out. A swirling
vortex of wind begins to form on the
spot. Nanziing prepares a 50-fold
overloaded forbidden wind spell,
invoking a colossal tornado. The tornado
surges forward, slamming head-on into
the monster's blade. Without a moment's
hesitation, he prepares another 50-fold
overloaded forbidden lightning spell.
Assura's demonic blade materializes
around the creature. With a single
strike, he cleaves the monster in two.
The creature's core makes a desperate
attempt to flee. Nanzying intercepts its
escape, asking, "Where do you think
you're going?" He then prepares yet
another forbidden spell, this time of
the wood element, and executes the
Assura technique once more. Hell on
Earth is unleashed directly onto its
core. The remaining warriors gaze in
utter disbelief as the creature is
completely annihilated. Nan Shan Chong
simply concludes that his son is truly
terrifying. He then commands the spirits
and beasts to advance in a wide circle,
clearing a path so he can deploy
intricate formations. Nanziing begins by
implanting 1 and a half million
elemental sword key formations. These
formations spread out across a 30 km
radius. Soon after, he orders the
[music] tides of beasts to tighten the
encirclement even further. Next, he
implants another one and a half million
formations of earth spikes, ice barges,
and lightning walls. Nanziing then
summons a forbidden earth spell, causing
the ground to violently rupture and
heave. From the primordial chaos between
heaven and earth, he declares, "The
ancients shall rise once more." He
follows by activating an amplification
formation that encompasses 3 million
undead within a 300 km radius. "The
spirit warriors absorb the formation's
immense power. [music] Empowered by this
newfound energy, they surge forward to
unleash the full might of Yan and Huang.
The status screen flashes. Formation
master level five. Nanzi Ying comments,
"Perfect timing." [music] He then
prepares to activate 3 million colossal
beast slaying formations. However, as he
analyzes the situation, he realizes he
doesn't possess enough source stones.
Faced with this, he can't help but
wonder if he had in the end rushed
things a little too much. Nanzying
decides it's best to conserve their
available resources. With that in mind,
he announces a single target
amplification formation designed for the
3 million strong beast tides. The
formation blazes to life in the sky, and
creatures on the battlefield begin to
transform under its incredible power.
With 6 million source stones remaining,
he realizes he has enough to arm
formations all along the city wall.
Nanziing then prepares his ultimate ace
in the hole. He activates an
amplification formation 50 times more
powerful, stretching it 30 km along the
wall. Soldiers positioned there feel the
raw energy surge through them,
exclaiming that their benefactor has
unleashed unbelievably powerful
formations. Watching from afar, Chuingh
remarks that Nanziing left a decisive
trump card for the seventh defense line.
finally understanding who he truly is.
He reflects on the irony of humanity,
hoping for a god to save them, yet
feeling the urge to destroy one when it
finally appears. One of his companions
explains that Nanziing held nothing back
precisely because he trusted them on the
front lines, asking them to leave the
fighting to him. Chuing warns that there
are still 3 hours until dawn and that
time should be used for rest and
recovery. Even without any more source
stones, Nanziing declares he still has
enough strength left. He vows that even
if he must become an Assura, he will
exterminate these aliens. Then he
charges into the enemies in his Assura
Berserker form. Chu Chong Chong watches
the battle, expressing immense pride in
him. Chu Shingi agrees, remembering his
own life being saved, but questions if
calling him a kid isn't a bit much,
considering he's a true prodigy. [music]
His father asks what else he should call
him, then dismisses the question with a
hearty laugh. A voice informs them that
the patient is merely exhausted, her
life not in danger. In the hospital
room, Nan Zeon tells Chu Shinghi not to
worry and to rest, reminding him he's
been awake for two days straight. He
replies that he knows and states he's
glad his brother isn't wasting time and
energy on things like this, for
ultimately it's because they are still
too weak. [music] Nan Zeon starts to
quote a proverb, but cuts herself off,
advising him to do whatever he thinks is
best. She then bids him farewell,
stating she'll take care of the other
wounded, and receives permission to
leave. Before leaving, she declares her
belief that deep down, Nanziing is
grateful to him. Chu Shingh merely
watches her depart, confirming that he
knows. Chuchian finally awakens and
calls out for her brother, who
emotionally celebrates her return to
consciousness. She asks how long she was
unconscious and how the battle is going,
showing concern for his need for source
stones for his abilities. The mention of
source stones leaves Chu Shingh lost in
thought. He then asks his sister to wait
there, promising to return shortly.
Outside, the battle rages on with Nanzi
Ying clashing against the creatures on
the city wall. He comments with a hint
of relief that the wave of enemies is
almost over after fighting all night
long. Then Chuingi appears, announcing
that Tiener is awake and they can leave
now. He praises Nanziing<unk>ing's
arrangements, yet asks him to return to
his own battlefield, for that is where
humanity's future lies. Nanzying
promises to buy as much time as possible
and vows that everyone will stay alive
until they can reunite. Chusing remarks
on how meticulous he is [music] to which
Nanzing calmly replies that he does it
with pleasure if it brings people peace
of mind. Chuing then thanks him as
Nanzing explains that an old soldier
asked him to relay a message. The
message [music] from Chuch Chong Chong
says they'll meet again after the war so
he can cook for the rascal. Chuing Hi
then hands him a small card. Nanziing
looks at the drawing of Nanzan on the
card accompanied by the word respect
[music] and calls her a cheeky girl. The
scene shifts to a building identified as
the slaughter house. A panel inside
displays 60 million source stones still
remaining. Nanzying realizes that
relying solely on formations is too
slow. He needs to tame the next beast
tide. [music] He understands that the
undead spirits on the front line need
replenishment as the sixth defense line
has become useless and the seventh won't
hold out much longer. In a corridor,
[music] two people discuss the seventh
line signal which was lost and then
returned now showing dead aliens
everywhere. One suggests the place might
be haunted, but the other corrects him,
calling it a divine haunting since only
the aliens were affected. One of the
staff comments that on top of that, many
plants in the northwest have mutated.
Even the roadside grass has become lush
and razor sharp. Other workers agree,
claiming they feel as if something has
awakened and they now possess infinite
energy to work. Nanzing concludes that
with every portal opened by the aliens,
Earth's spiritual energy increases,
accelerating the planet's awakening. His
colleagues advise him to take care, but
he reassures them not to worry as he's
heading home for some rest now. Next, he
takes Chuen to Meteor Valley, announcing
it's time to tame a group of level seven
mutant giant eagles. A storm of eagles
erupts in the valley and a soldier warns
of an approaching flock of beasts. The
men are attacked and one orders a
retreat, stating they won't be able to
defend the valley. One of the giant
eagles plunges towards the soldiers. A
man charges forward, unleashing his
grand [music] floodfist against the
creature, but the attack proves useless.
He wonders how a level five esper can't
even scratch it. Trapped in the eagle's
talons, the soldier screams for help,
begging anyone nearby. A comrade barks
at the others, accusing them of
cowardice for abandoning their friend.
The monstrous creature prepares to
strike at the captured man, who can only
wonder what kind of beast this truly is.
Just then, Nanziing and Chuen leap onto
the giant eagle, and Nanziing begins the
process of taming the massive beast. The
steel giant eagle is ordered to guard
the valley, collect source stones, and
most importantly, not attack cities or
humans. A status screen flashes,
displaying Nanzing's beast tamer level
[music] and the experience needed for
the next. He realizes another one of his
skills is finally nearing its maximum.
The soldier recognizes him as the
legendary divine level beast tamer, and
almost forgetting the man's predicament,
Nanziing orders the eagle to release
him. The man is immediately dropped to
the ground, but the eagle in its
infinite wisdom grabs him again and
launches him high into the air. Nanziing
shouts, calling it stupid, demanding to
know where his brother is. Furious, he
smacks the creature on the head,
ordering it to hurry and save the man.
The eagle snatches him out of the air,
and Nanzing asks if his injuries are
severe. The grateful man introduces
himself as Huang Jia, explaining his
companions fled when Nanziing first
questioned why he was alone. Huang Jia
reveals he was sent by the Huang clan
from the inner territories to explore
and claim the spiritual mountains. He
continues explaining that prodigies from
various powerful families are rushing
northwest, all aiming to stake their
claim on these mountains for
cultivation. Nanzing realizes the energy
surge is due to portals and he plans to
use these very mountains to facilitate
the ascension of a million people in the
northwest. He then instructs Hanga to
warn the Huang clan. These mountains are
his and no one else is permitted to
claim them. Nanzi Ying reinforces the
threat. It doesn't matter which clan a
prodigy belongs to. Anyone who disobys
will be ruthlessly killed. With that, he
tosses Hangja down the mountain who
readily agrees to deliver the message. A
sound from the mountains catches his
attention. Could it be Hangja's
companions? He orders the giant eagle to
accompany him and investigate the source
of the noise. As they approach, he spots
a mutated venomous lizard below. Nanzi
Ying grins, deeming the situation
perfect to tame another tide of beasts.
With the Xenos having their behemoths,
he'll now have these venomous lizards to
balance the odds in battle. A status
screen confirms he's tamed 10 million
steel giant eagles and 10 million
mutated venomous lizards. The lizards
are commanded to protect Meteor Valley,
gather sore stones, and await further
instructions, strictly without attacking
cities or humans. Nanziing notes that
everyone else here is dead, dismissing
them as disloyal cowards who wouldn't
have been much help anyway. Next, he
calls Chuen to follow him to the Tang
Dynasty tombs, [music]
and she readily agrees. Nanziing invokes
the emperors and generals of the Tang
Dynasty, an empire that once shook the
world, to rise and together expel their
enemies. The spirit of Liuan, the
founding emperor, answers the call.
Then, Liein of the Jenuan era, followed
by the reigning Empress Wu Zetion,
materialize. With them, he summons the
spirits of warriors who served the
dynasty over the last 300 years,
commanding them to awaken. Nanzi Ying
declares that even though the flying
general of Dragon City is gone, no enemy
will set foot on his land. His
necromancy skill skyrockets to level
six, bringing millions of soldiers from
the Chin Han and Tang dynasties under
his absolute command. He proposes that
the majesties divide their forces across
the three great mountain ranges, and the
spirits readily agree to the strategy.
Nanziing advises them to try dialogue
first if anyone stands in their way, but
stresses they must always be ready for
war. [music] Meanwhile, Hongclan prodigy
Hang Xi Yao scoffs at the idea,
declaring that spiritual mountains
belong to whoever claims them first.
Hanga attempts to warn his young master,
reminding him that Nanziing is a divine
level beast tamer and that retreating
would be the safest option. But Hang
Xiao dismisses the warning with disdain,
proudly announcing himself as a level 10
lightning prodigy who fears [music]
nothing. He then positions himself on
Tang Moda Mountain, the ideal
cultivation spot where the three great
mountain ranges converge. Wong Xiao
boldly declares that other clans have
already recognized his claim, and if
that beast tamer dares show his face,
he'll make sure he never returns.
Suddenly, Nanziing appears, repeating
the challenge. You'll make sure I never
return. Wong Xiao glares, asking if he's
the cowardly beast tamer everyone's been
whispering about. Hongja tries to
explain that he had already delivered
the message earlier. The young master
grabs him, accusing him of dishonoring
the Huang clan and orders him to get out
of his sight. Nanzing then comments
dryly that Hangja clearly has more
brains than his master. Finally, he
questions Huang Xiao one last time,
asking if he truly intends to ignore the
greater good for selfish gain by
claiming this mountain. Huang Xiao
boasts, declaring he's no ordinary
prodigy, but someone who's already
reached the half-s sovereign king realm.
He then offers Nanzing a chance to
survive, but only if he retreats
immediately. Xiao claims every beast on
this mountain has either bowed before
him or fled with their tails tucked
between their legs. Nanziing warns him,
"Keep being stubborn and don't blame me
for what happens next." Sensing the
power emanating from Nanziing, Hang Xao
is stunned, questioning how a mere beast
tamer could wield lightning. Nanziing
simply declares the conversation has
gone on too long and unleashes his
lightning blade. "Young master, watch
out!" Huang Ja screams. However, Hang
Xiao yanks him forward, using his own
loyal servant as a human shield to block
the attack. Nanziing glares, questioning
in a cold voice what kind of despicable
prodigy he is, worse than any animal.
Wang Xiao merely scoffs, declaring that
servants are nothing but pawns,
sacrifices meant to shield him. Enraged
by such callousness, Nanziing decides to
show him what true lightning looks like.
Beginning to prepare a celestial strike,
[music] the prodigy provokes him, asking
if he's scared and about to beg for his
life. Warning that it's already too
late. Nanziing retorts that he won't
even use his blade so as not to be
accused of bullying, but promises to
teach that arrogant scum a harsh lesson.
He swears to make Xiao taste his own
venom. Huang Xiao boldly proclaims
himself the embodiment of lightning,
claiming his opponent's tricks mean
nothing to him. Though a flicker of
doubt betrays his voice, in that
instant, Nanziing prepares a forbidden
lightning element spell and activates it
at maximum potency. Hango is utterly
shocked, realizing he's facing forbidden
magic. The attack strikes him headon,
and he screams, "That's impossible."
Nanzing warns him that now he'll learn
what it means to be on the receiving
end. He then slams Xiao to the ground,
asserting that Hang Xiao is nothing
compared to his level two power.
Suddenly, a new voice announces itself
as Huang Jutian, the patriarch of the
Hang family. The patriarch demands to
know who dares cause trouble on his
mountains, while Nanzing internally
wonders if the Hang family truly wishes
to be exterminated. As more clan members
arrive, Wongjudian reprimands his
prodigy, saying the situation should
have been a blessing. One of the men
questions why their young master was
harmed. However, the patriarch wisely
deduces that his own son must have
claimed the mountain first and refused
to yield. He states that the Hang family
has always been reasonable and allows
Nanzi to speak first, reserving the
right to kill him if he's in the wrong.
Nanzi commends the patriarch's stance
and agrees to explain everything
clearly. He then reveals himself as one
of the five god tier prodigies of the
Northwest, the forbidden spellcaster.
The onlookers immediately recognize him
from the news about the prodigies who
eradicated the xeno assassins. Nanzi
Ying explains that to ensure humanity's
survival, all spiritual mountains must
be surrendered to the grand plan, and
the prodigy had already been duly
warned. The patriarch agrees, admitting
that Xiao was indeed in the wrong.
However, Ziao's father erupts in fury,
accusing the patriarch of cowardice and
swearing to avenge his son, even if it
costs him his own life. The patriarch
severely reprimands him for such
insolence. He then attacks, blaming the
man for spoiling Xiao and for all the
reckless actions that led to this
outcome. As some try to protest, the
patriarch silences them, questioning if
they truly comprehend what's at stake
for humanity, and reminding everyone of
their true purpose. He quickly
apologizes to Nanzi Ying, affirming that
his family made a mistake and will
retreat, an act of righteousness that
earns him praise. The patriarch then
orders the man to be tied up and taken
for punishment, while Nanziing promises
to strengthen the Huang family when they
join the battle. On Dragon Mountain,
spirits announce that the five prodigies
have decreed the mountain cannot be
privately claimed. On Hua Mountain, the
warning is direct. Those who ignore the
greater good and refuse to listen will
be mercilessly slain. Meanwhile, on Kun
Mountain, spirits observe an ancient
monument, commenting that their
descendants prove wise and just. At the
peak of Tang Moda Mountain, Nanzi Ying
declares, "It's time to begin." He then
activates the level six undead spirit
resonance. Energy spreads rapidly as
verses about the emperor's wind and
victory echo through the mountains. The
song continues, narrating the passage of
the mighty Chin and the purification of
the Yellow River. Soon after, the power
of heaven sweeps through Jade Gate Pass
as the spirits maintain their
uninterrupted chant. The emperor's wind
blows across the four seas. And for a
thousand years of virtue, the waters
flow brightly, reaching even a distant
hospital. In a hospital bed, a man
wonders where this triumphant march of
Wang Chin comes from, feeling a sudden
surge of power coarse through his body.
At the rear defense line, a soldier
questions if he's awakened some kind of
superpower, while another effortlessly
carries steel beams as if they were
toys. In another room, a group of people
confirm that it's real, and they've all
awakened new abilities. One man feels
strong enough to lift an alloy blade and
hunt mutant birds, while his companion
confirms he's also become more powerful.
Even an older gentleman lifts a pile of
rocks and proudly declares that he's
finally become a little useful. A man is
celebrating wildly in the streets,
hailing the news of 8 million awakenings
as a divine blessing. Everyone has the
power to join the fifth line of defense.
Another citizen chimes in, noting that
even without enlisting, overall
productivity will skyrocket. Meanwhile,
the news flashes a grim warning about
dangerous mutations spreading through
the primeval woods. Chuen turns to
Nanziing, asking if he orchestrated this
mutation. Nanziing denies it, explaining
that the cause lies with the Zenos's
dimensional rifts, stressing the urgent
need for action. With that, Nanziing
decides to personally investigate the
massive changes in the primeval woods.
Chutian readily agrees, already
preparing for their teleportation. Upon
arrival, they discover the trees haven't
just mutated, they're moving, marching
menacingly towards the city. A wood
elementalist named Lee Lee, refusing to
retreat before understanding the trees
combat strength and tactics, prepares to
strike. He unleashes a volley of vines
to ensnare the creature's roots. But his
attack proves utterly useless against
one of the gigantic trees. Realizing the
futility, he understands he can't
control these new life forms. The
creatures reveal not only their own
consciousness, but also coordination,
moving to encircle the group. Leeli
screams for everyone to prepare for the
imminent assault and unleash their full
power. He then dubs the enemy the forest
legion and orders them to advance. The
group's attack proves useless. One man
realizes these trees are level seven or
eight, impossible to stop with their
current resources. Still, Leeli insists
they must at least send word back. On
the verge of being crushed, one man
wonders if this is truly the end. Just
then, Lei and his companions notice the
trees aren't attacking them. Confused,
he watches as one of the creatures
actually bows before them. Nanzying then
commands the Ironwood behemoths to
defend the woods, and the creatures
immediately obey. With this, his beast
tammer skill hits level 10, totaling a
100 million tamed beasts. He unlocks a
new ability called Aura of the King,
capable of subjugating beasts with the
very aura of the beast god. The
ancestral awakening ability is also
unleashed, allowing him to summon the
progenitor of a beast tide. On top of
that, he gains access to the forbidden
spell, storm of life, which manifests
from the convergence of both land and
sea beast tides. With his abilities
nearing their peak, Nanziing plans to
tame marine beasts and finalize the
formations for the fifth line of
defense. Just then, Chuin rushes over,
terrified to see him collapse to the
ground. She quickly catches him and
teleports them both back to the
slaughterhouse dormatory. Nanzying
awakens disoriented in his room as Chu
Tian explains he'd lost consciousness
back in the primeval woods. Irritated,
he grumbles about being unconscious for
an entire day. She calms him, reminding
him he'd barely slept with everything
he'd been doing. Chutian emphasizes that
no matter how strong he is, he's still
human. Nanziing silently agrees,
reflecting that humanity in the end is
still too weak. She asks if he ever gets
tired of carrying the world's weight,
feeling useless for not being able to
help him. Nanzing apologizes for
worrying her and reassures her,
explaining he's not alone. Millions of
people stand by his side. He then
asserts that she's helped him more than
she realizes, and he never would have
gotten this far without her support.
Chuen decides to stop worrying and
offers to take him to the fifth line of
defense. At the defensive line, 10
million flame and elemental sword
formations stretch for 200 km. She asks
if all the source stones she teleported
from previous locations will be enough.
Nanzying confirms the quantity is more
than enough to fortify the entire
defense line. Then he activates millions
of ice and lightning bombardment
formations, each covering an additional
300 km. The lightning formations spread
across the snow covered mountains. A
status screen reveals his formation
master skill has reached level seven,
unlocking powerful new techniques. Nanzi
Ying declares the wall of formations
complete, stating he'll save the
remaining source stones for when the
defense line eventually falters. A
breaking news report announces the
completion of a massive canal project in
the Northwest, sparking public outrage
over the huge expenditure of resources
in the city. As the Jiao family reacts
with incredul, Sun Lee publicly accuses
the Northwest of corruption and vows to
dismantle their three grand projects.
Brother Jiao then suggests broadcasting
everything live so the nation can
witness what he calls an act of justice.
The others readily agree. Another report
reveals that prodigies from the
interior, already at the peak sovereign
king level, have finally stepped forward
to question the Northwest projects.
Nanzying declares the time has come to
unleash a forbidden spell and create the
most terrifying extermination field
humanity has ever witnessed. He then
prepares to conjure a level five
forbidden water element spell. The
attack is named the water dragon
assault. The technique is then activated
over the ocean. Slowly, the water shapes
itself, forming an immense dragon that
rises before them. Nanzying commands his
water dragon forward. But he's not one
to back down. Activating Assura mode, he
rockets straight at the beast. [music]
Just barely defending against the
imminent strike, the young master
retaliates with a forbidden water spell,
splitting the colossal wave in two.
Realizing the technique nearly breached
his defenses, he decides to go all out,
merging his power with the Grand Canal
itself. He unleashes a level five
forbidden water spell, now with 500
times its original might. A system
window flashes into existence, [music]
detailing his elemental forbidden
spell-caster ability. Meanwhile, two men
gaze upon this absurd display of power.
One declares the Grand Canal live stream
has begun. Brother Jiao wastes no time
firing up the broadcast and dramatically
announcing it's time to give the people
what they crave. He informs Chen Bing
and brother Son that he's taking point
on the channel, but Chen Bing quickly
volunteers for the first project until
Nanzing abruptly interrupts them. The
newcomer unleashes a scorching fire
attack, vaporizing the water and
catching Brother Sun completely offguard
without a moment's hesitation. Nanzi
prepares two more devastating strikes,
aiming to reverse the currents and flood
the entire mountain. Across the live
stream, viewers are in awe, exclaiming
how utterly epic the power of these
sovereign king level prodigies truly is.
Back at Fangmo Mountain, two individuals
sense the energy of the undead spirits
growing ever more intense. Chuten
wonders if the awakening city dwellers
will also grow stronger, and the answer
is a resounding yes. She then points to
the sky, asking about four shooting
stars that just made an impossible turn
in the air. Feeling that familiar
chilling aura, Nanziing instantly
recognizes the presence of a rank A
Zeno. Have they sent more assassins? He
wonders aloud. Simultaneously, he
notices the canal's water spells
starting to spiral out of control. Have
those aliens discovered his plan?
Concluding there's no point in hiding
anymore, he activates the canal's
forbidden spell to supercharge his water
dragon's attack. At the Grand Canal,
Brother Jiao is still scoffing at their
mission, calling it mere child's play.
But suddenly, he notices something very
strange happening. The water itself is
starting to twist and churn. Terrified,
he stammers. What in the world is
emerging from the surface? Before anyone
can react, a multitude of water dragons
burst forth simultaneously, sending
someone screaming for everyone to run.
The live stream screen is completely
engulfed by water, leaving the
bewildered viewers utterly confused by
what just unfolded. In utter shock,
Brother Jiao slowly raises his gaze. A
colossal shadowy figure looms from the
depths while one of his companions
frantically begs for help. Brother's
son, collapsed on the ground, stares up
at brother Jiao and whispers, "Are you
one of them? An alien?" Raising a hand,
Nanzying commands them all to halt. He
demands to know who they are and why
they're causing such devastation, but
brother Jao just starts to introduce
himself. Impatient, Nanzian cuts him
off, dismissing them as ignorant fools.
Finally, brother son speaks up,
explaining that seeing him there, they
finally grasp the full situation. The
young master realizes these are indeed
prodigies and that the aliens are
hunting their clans. He barks in order,
"Take me to them now." The three men are
utterly bewildered by the sudden demand.
Seeing their hesitation, he snaps,
"Hurry, if you delay, your clans will be
exterminated." The mere mention of that
word exterminated, sends a chilling wave
of shock through the trio. That night, a
colossal explosion tears through the sky
above Skyrest Mountain, illuminating the
entire landscape in a terrifying glow.
Brother Jiao finds his home engulfed in
flames, plummeting into despair as he
realizes his entire family has been
massacred. Nanziing arrives moments
later, confirming it was the work of a
rank A Zeno. Without mincing words, he
declares, "There's no time for mourning.
If you want revenge," he states, "follow
me to the Chien family estate." However,
another explosion already rips through
the Chien family's compound, forcing him
to immediately change course towards the
Sun family. At Jade Pass Mountain, a
horrifying Zeno assaults the Sun family
estate with a powerful energy blast.
Fueled by pure fury, brother Son slams
into the creature, screaming that it
will pay for exterminating his family.
The Sunclan leader, wreathed in roaring
flames, announces he's dragging this
alien straight to hell with him through
a devastating self-detonation. He hurls
himself at the Zeno amidst a colossal
explosion as someone cries out for their
leader. On the ground, the remaining
group curses the alien, swearing it
won't escape unpunished. Yet, the
creature simply hovers in the air,
mocking them. Humans are small, weak,
and [music] utterly impotent. Nothing
more than walking corpses. Faced with
this arrogance, Nanziing steps forward,
unshathing his sword. He declares,
"Today you'll learn exactly what humans
are truly capable of." Nanziing
unleashes an army slaying slash followed
by a landslitting mountain and then an
annihilation fire. The Zeno takes a
direct hit, shedding a few feathers from
the impact. The overwhelming force of
the attack sends the creature hurtling
backward. He barks at the three injured
men to back off and simply watch, giving
the enemy no room to react. Nanziing
follows up with an Assura's freef fall
massacre, striking them headon. He
maintains the pressure, unleashing the
Assura Berserker technique. The young
man charges forward without hesitation,
delivering a relentless flurry of blows.
Witnessing this, the three men realize
they might still have a shot at revenge,
recognizing him as the Assura of the
Northwest. Under pressure, the Zeno
begins charging a fiery counterattack.
However, just as it's about to unleash
the attack, someone teleports right
beside the creature. Chuen appears
behind the foe, striking it and
instantly earning a compliment for a job
well done. Seizing the opening, Nanzying
charges in with the Assura demon hunter
technique. Surprised, the Zeno admits
the guy isn't half bad. Then it declares
him worthy not of death, but of slavery.
Hearing this, Nanzing scoffs, vowing to
make it swallow those words. Without
wasting a second, he unleashes the
Assura dragon slayer technique. A dragon
charges the Zeno as the young man dares
it to try healing after being torn to
shreds. The creature transforms,
blocking the attack and calls humans
ignorant and arrogant. Then the Zeno
simply orders him to die. Refusing to
back down, Nanzying charges again,
counterattacking with the Assura hell on
Earth technique. A devastating slash is
unleashed, but the enemy claims it's all
useless as long as its spark still
exists. In response, the young man
conjures a freezing formation with
50,000 times more power. Ignoring the
spark, he completely freezes the
creature solid. The other men watch, a
ghast, realizing the blazing sky eagle
has been frozen and that the Asura is
also a master of formations. Next,
Nanziing activates a 10 times stronger
singlet target amplification. Energy
streams from his eyes directly into the
trios. Hovering in the air, he explains
that the ice will only hold the creature
for a limited time. Then, he urges the
three to seize this chance and take
their revenge with their own hands.
Furthermore, he instructs them to head
to the fifth defensive line and prepare
for war after their vengeance. Finally,
he warns them that an even greater enemy
of humanity awaits them there. Soon
after, a news report announces that four
class A Xeno assassins have been cited
and that the Xiao, Chien, Sunen, and
Wong clans have been wiped out. People
buzz about the aliens brutal attack on
the most promising young talents,
placing their hopes in the Northwest's
prodigies. [music] Meanwhile, Nanziing
tells Chuen they'll gather source stones
and head for the east sea to tame beasts
and eliminate [music] the assassins.
Facing the sea, the young man begins to
chant, invoking the sun, moon, and
starry heavens. He then commands the
mighty sea beasts to submit to his
decree and serve him. Above the
turbulent ocean waters, a colossal
symbol begins to form. Moments later, a
system notification announces that
millions of mutant swordfish, tiger
sharks, and great white sharks have been
tamed. Answering the call, gigantic
marine beasts emerge from the depths.
With a sky shattering roar, Nanzying
summons the wetstones of these
creatures. From the seabed, an immense
sharp object rises, creating a powerful
whirlpool. The colossal horn-shaped
structure fully emerges from the waters.
Seeing this, he admits even he wouldn't
escape easily. But Chuchian remarks that
the real question is whether the
assassins will show up. In the distance,
Lan Chong Kong, prodigy of the East Seas
Land family, spots the frenzied marine
beasts. Without hesitation, he orders
his entire clan to prepare for battle
while he presses on ahead to
investigate. He then dashes across the
waters using his water control
technique, Dragons March. Firmly, he
declares that his family has guarded the
sea for generations and won't allow the
marine beasts to cause [music]
destruction. However, he soon realizes
what's truly happening beneath the
surface. In no time, he discovers he's
surrounded by an army of diverse marine
beast species. At this, Chuian asks if
Nanzying forgot to order them not to
attack humans. As the command is
adjusted to target only invaders, Lanch
Chong Kong senses the change, wondering
if this is the Prodigy of the Northwest.
He then looks up and sees three shadowy
figures appearing in the sky. Finally,
the creatures introduce themselves as
the sea masters, offering him only two
choices, slavery or death. Lan Chong
Kong wonders if assassins are after him,
mistaking him for the legendary beast
tamer. A gigantic sea creature charges
directly at him, but he defiantly
challenges his enemies, deeming it an
honor to fight those who dare face a
divine level tamer. Orca's surge towards
a sea serpent, and realizing the beast
tides are attacking first. He starts to
question if the true tamer is commanding
everything from afar. Meanwhile, Nanzing
commands the swordfish to attack the
cyclops demonic turtle while tiger
sharks take on the thorny serpent.
Simultaneously, great white sharks are
ordered to tear apart the glacial
dragon. Surrounded by the great whites,
the glacial dragon sneers, calling them
mere insects and retaliates with a
chilling freezing breath. The attack is
so indiscriminate that both the thorny
serpent and the surrounding sharks are
completely frozen solid. Even then, the
resilient Thorny Serpent quickly
recovers, still managing to insult its
opponents, sneering insects. Immediately
after, it unleashes a barrage of
gigantic stingers. Across the chaotic
battlefield, the Cyclops turtle deems
the swordfish's attacks feudal. Without
delay, unleashes its devastating
collapse attack. Observing the chaos,
Nanzying remarks to Chuen that their sea
beasts can easily handle any enemy below
rank A. However, she adds that against a
rank A opponent, they're still not
enough. With that, the duo creates 50
amplification formations, stretching
them over 700 nautical miles. From a
distance, Lan Chong Kong notices the
immense energy spreading and wonders
what it could be. Meanwhile, the three
shadowy creatures slice through the sea
of beasts, heading straight for him.
Preparing for the impending clash, he
vows to fight until his last breath. One
of the creatures taunts him, challenging
him to freeze it before it reaches him.
In response, the glacial dragon attacks
Lanch Kong's water dragon. The impact
makes it clear the enemy's power is so
immense [music] that not even his water
dragon can contain it. Blasted back by
the force of the blow, he begins to
fall. The creature closing in as he
loses his footing. Suddenly, an
enchantment circle flares to life on the
water's surface. The shadowy serpent is
swarmed by sharks erupting from the sea.
And moments later, one latches onto the
glacial dragon's neck. Energy [music]
surges towards Lan Chong Kong as he
finds himself surrounded by the sharks.
Recognizing the amplification formation,
he instantly prepares his water control
technique, then unleashes the endless
ocean technique. The glacial dragon
takes a direct hit, utterly baffled by
what's unfolding, and disintegrates, its
dying breath still a sneer. Insects.
Shortly after, the thorny serpent and
the cyclops demonic turtle are also
neutralized. Satisfied, Nanzing remarks
that their battle strength has now
reached optimal levels with Chuen
concurring that not even a rank s alien
would survive this. He then asks her to
bring Lan Chong Kong, and her reply
comes with a knowing tone, stating she
already understands his intentions. From
a distance, Lan Chong Kong profusely
thanks his saviors for sparing his life.
Finally, he asks them to reveal
themselves so he can thank them in
person. Chu Tian appears before him,
leaving Lan Chong Kong utterly shocked
to discover that one of the legendary
masters is just a child. The small girl
gazes at him with a slight smile. As
he's dragged along, the man asks who she
is. Just then, Nanzing appears, telling
him not to ask questions, but to listen
carefully. She then asks Lan Chong Kong
if he could shoulder the immense
responsibility of using the EC as bait
to draw out the alien assassins. Without
hesitation, the man kneels, declaring
that for the sake of the world, he would
willingly lay down his life if needed.
At this, Chuten grants him the power of
an internal amplification formation.
Immediately after, she places him in
command of 100 million sea beasts,
ordering him to annihilate any alien
that dares to appear. Suddenly, a vacuum
gate rips open in the sky, and Chuen
warns that the seventh line of defense
might not hold. Overcome with despair,
she thinks of her brother and all the
others. Countless alien horrors burst
forth from a sky ripping portal. An
officer screams a warning. The enemy's
main force is here. He orders the
seventh line to fall back while the
sixth attempts to buy precious time. Chu
Shinghi seizes command, overriding all
previous orders. All units full retreat.
Their only stand, their last hope is the
fifth line of defense. Huang Xiao steps
forward, offering to hold the line with
an amplification formation, creating a
window for Commander Wang to lead the
retreat. The formation activates, a
shimmering barrier rising to stall the
creature's relentless advance. An elder
barks orders at the youngsters. The
fifth line needs you. We veterans will
hold the rear. One man tries to convince
another to accept the elers's noble
sacrifice, reminding him to look at the
bigger picture. The elders brace for
their final stand, invoking their beast
spirits to unleash havoc upon the
invaders. The young man bows, a silent
farewell to his ancestors and [music]
the surging beast spirits. News channels
blare. The seventh line has fallen. The
fifth line braces for the inevitable
impact. The people of the northwest
unite, declaring they will defend the
fifth line with their very lives.
Everyone prepares for battle, believing
brave spirits were sent by the heavens
for this very moment. Meanwhile, Nanzing
puts the finishing touches on the
blazing sky stone project, perfecting
his intricate grand design. Immediately
afterward, he begins fully absorbing the
immense power sealed within the source
stones. A colossal surge of energy
erupts, engulfing him completely,
crackling with raw power. The system
flashes, source stone reserves, a
staggering 10 trillion. In a parallel
sequence, he initiates the steel forest
project, activating a forbidden gold
element spell. Next, Nanzying tempers
the molten steel with water, imbuing it
with a 100,000 forbidden steel element
spells. Then, the group moves to a
volcanic landscape, commencing the
volcano's heart project. With a raised
hand, he commands ancient lava dragons
to awaken and incinerate everything,
implanting another 100,000 forbidden
lava spells. Soon after, massive lava
dragons materialize in the skies before
them. A system window pops up detailing
the max level forbidden spell, Star
Origin, the infinite annihilator. As
they watch the heavens, one of them
comments that the technique's power
might be too much for even Earth to
bear. Nanzying resolves to unleash it
only at the most critical moment. He
declares only beast taming, spirits, and
formations remain. Chuten, lead the way.
With his hand pressed to the ground, the
young man invokes ancestors from ancient
eras to awaken. Legendary heroes of
Weii, one of China's three kingdoms,
materialized to suppress the encroaching
darkness. Next, the legendary generals
of Shu, another of the three kingdoms,
manifest. Soon after, the formidable
warriors of Wu the third kingdom also
appear. Finally, the spirits of the Song
Dynasty present themselves ready for
battle. Immediately after, the spirits
of the Yuan dynasty surge forth,
radiating uncontrollable fury. Next, the
warriors of the Ming dynasty emerge,
poised for a legendary battle. Soon
after, the heroes of theQing dynasty
gather, boughs drawn, astride their
powerful steeds. A system window appears
detailing the ancient heroic spirit
summoning ability now maxed out. He then
rallies the honored ancestors,
commanding them to prepare to fight on
the fifth line of defense. The spirit
army charges forward with furious might
while Nanzing recites a chilling chant
of a king's dominion. Next, he unleashes
his beast taming domain, summoning
swarms of venomous insects, then a
terrifying horde of equally deadly
snakes. He commands all mutant beasts.
Listen to my call. Obey without
hesitation. The system flashes the
details of the era's beast Tamare
ability, also maxed out. Nanziing
awakens an ancient power to further
amplify the beast tides. Sword held
firm, he leads everyone towards the
fifth line. Under the extreme exertion,
blood streams from his eyes, a testament
to his desperate resolve. Chuen cries
out, warning him he's pushing himself
too hard, that he can't possibly
continue like this. Even so, he insists
he must continue. There's no time to
lose. Chuen tries to protest, but her
words are cut short. Nanzying declares
that only the formations remain and
orders her to take him immediately to
the fifth line. At the immense fifth
line of defense, he unleashes the
infernal sword chi formation, the
purgatory fire formation, and the
abyssal thorn formation. One after
another, overlapping layers of lethal
shimmering formations erupt, shielding
their homeland with impenetrable might.
Next, the system displays the Genesis
God formation master ability maxed out.
Immediately after, a notification
confirms that all five supreme abilities
have been unified and mastered as one.
Instantly, he's enveloped by a violently
swirling sphere of pure energy. Then, a
colossal pillar of blinding light
descends from the heavens, striking the
ground with devastating, earthshattering
force. Seeing him engulfed within that
terrifying dome of energy, Chuen
screams, "Nanzying<unk>s name." Within
that raw surging power, he roars, his
transformation reaching its terrifying
completion. From a terrace overlooking
the city, Sunley announces they've
returned. Nanziing greets them saying
they're just in time as little Chu
Tianne rushes over calling him brother.
He comforts her, praising her efforts
when a younger companion notices
Nanzing's hair has turned white. The boy
asks what happened and Nanzing explains
it's the toll of preparing for battle.
Sun Lee then wonders if this means he's
finally ready to reveal his full power.
Nanzing confirms it. Moments later, news
reports flash across screens. Alien
forces have breached the last lines of
defense worldwide. Before a massive
assembly of soldiers, Nanzying declares
he has a critical announcement before
the final showdown. On a colossal
screen, his voice booms, revealing that
he is all five divine level prodigies of
the Northwest. The crowd erupts in
disbelief, wondering who's spreading
such outrageous lies. Then, Nanziing
steps forward, confirming it's true, and
orders the elderly, children, and
wounded to evacuate, only to join the
fight if their defenses crumble.
Elsewhere, a group of survivors reacts,
one muttering, "I always knew Chief Nan
was our savior." Nanziing then explains
their entire military might is
concentrated on the fifth line of
defense. Yet, he grimly admits their
current preparations aren't enough for
victory. So, he reveals his daring plan.
He's forming a suicide squad of psychics
to breach the void gate and launch a
desperate counteroffensive. First to
step up is 9-year-old Chu Tian, a divine
level spatial psychic, declaring it's
her responsibility to find a resting
place for Nanziing. Then, Chu Shinghi,
the 23-year-old Chu Clan prodigy,
volunteers for the Suicide Squad. Su
Cheni, a 25-year-old puppet master,
offers his services next, boasting he
can curse some aliens to death.
18-year-old plant spirit summoners
Chinuay and Chinying announce they're
ready to fight. Lan Chong Kong, a
23-year-old water psychic, rides in on a
colossal wave, telling Nanzi Ying,
"Don't blame me this time." Jang Yuen,
cruising in on a motorcycle, volunteers
to handle supplies with her culinary
skills, slightly reminding him of an old
debt. Nanzying grins, saying he's
thrilled to have her. A car screeches to
a halt, and Su Lang, a perception
psychic, steps out, apologizing for her
past harsh words. Finally, Chen Cair
volunteers, explaining her ability to
rewind time by 15 seconds is crucial for
reconnaissance. Nanzan approaches his
brother, revealing their father didn't
want him going alone and that he's
recently awakened powerful battlefield
healing abilities. Just then, Chen Leani
and Susi Shan arrive, insisting one
healer isn't enough, and asking for a
chance to atone for past conflicts.
Seeing his growing team, Nanziing offers
a heartfelt thanks. With the group
complete, he officially declares the
formation of the counter-offensive
Suicide Squad. Moments later, alien
invaders blot out the sky. A thunderous
voice echoes, "Prepare for battle."
Ancient formations and forbidden spells
ignite, unleashed upon the invaders.
Waves of monstrous beasts surge forward
while an army of undead spirits rides
fearlessly into the fray. High on the
city wall, a soldier roars to the
wavering. Reinforcements are here.
There's no escaping now. Meanwhile,
inside the portal, Nanzying rallies his
squad. Follow me. We destroy this gate
and end their reign of evil once and for
all. Upon reaching a small, secluded
house, someone immediately asks where
they are. Chuian explains it's a pocket
dimension she created, where time flows
exactly as it does in the outside world,
revealing she's christened it the cozy
cabin. Nanzying questions the mission
status, insisting this isn't the time to
settle down, but suddenly snaps back,
demanding to know how long a human can
go without food, water, or sleep.
Another team member points out Nanzing's
visible tension, noting his hair has
turned white from the sheer stress of
days without rest. Everyone is urged to
seize this moment because even on the
brink of the apocalypse, adults can't
let the children down. Lan Chong Kong
beams, exclaiming that this place is
literally his dream home. The group
watches his excitement, one woman
remarking that his giddiness somehow
makes the others look even more
masculine by comparison. Nanziing asks
the Chin brothers if they aren't curious
about anything, but they both declare
they've sworn to follow their benefactor
to the very end. As they step inside,
someone mutters that the brothers truly
live up to their reputation as
summoners. Sunly halts abruptly at the
entrance, a look of utter surprise
plastered on his face. The rest of the
group crowds behind him. Lan Chong Kong
gulps, wondering if his dream home has
somehow become a nightmare. As Chu Tian
cheerfully explains that she designed it
for her little sister. The main room is
filled with beds that look suspiciously
like coffins. Someone muses that the
style evokes childhood memories while
the camera focuses on portraits hanging
on the wall. Chuen beams, delighted
everyone likes it. Sun Lee, however,
asks how she knew exactly what to do.
Chuingi suggests it's about embracing
life through death, but the girl shrugs
it off, explaining there's nothing
profound about it, just early
preparation. Sunly, still a bit
unnerved, collapses onto one of the
beds, declaring he's out cold. Despite
the unsettling appearance, he admits
it's surprisingly comfortable once he
closes his eyes. In the kitchen, Jang
Yuen starts prepping a meal, announcing
it will be a true feast, for it might
just be their last together. Chin Sui
delivers a basket of fresh vegetables,
leading Jang Yuen to ask why they're
planting instead of simply conjuring
food. The girl explains that her brother
believes vegetables need to grow in the
earth to forge a connection with the
soil. Jang Yuen, a nononsense cook,
shoves her out of the kitchen, telling
her not to talk like that and warning
that the smoke is bad for her eyes. In
the pharmacy, Chenlani and Suan decide
to focus on brewing potions for battle
enhancement, healing, [music] and
resilience. Meanwhile, Nanzy Shan
settles into the healing room, noting
that the stark white bedding makes
Chuen's peculiar ideas abundantly clear.
Outside, a teleportation formation hums
to life, establishing a reconnaissance
point 30 km from the dreaded vacuum
gate. Chenier asks Chuen why she doesn't
just create a new Earth. Without missing
a beat, the little girl retorts, asking
why Chenier has such a flat chest.
Stunned by the immediate backlash, Jang
Yuan quickly intervenes, calming the
agitated Chenier and explaining that
Chutian is just a child speaking her
mind. Chutian then reveals that creating
this cabin cost her 50 years of her life
and she might not even live long enough
to develop breasts. Deeply embarrassed,
Chener apologizes while Chutian secretly
thinks to herself, "Aults are so easy to
fool." Soon after, Jang Yuan announces
the soup is ready, explaining she
prepared a little bit of everything for
the group's meal. As everyone gathers,
Nanziing attempts to discuss their plan,
but Jang Yuan insists he eats first. Chu
Shinghi then takes the lead, detailing
that both the front and back portals are
active with the front one leading back
to their defensive line. He assigns Su
Lang and Chener to the reconnaissance
point while the others remain in the
cabin to manage logistics. Nanzing
agrees with the arrangements. However,
Nanzan objects to her assigned role,
asserting she can provide direct support
on the battlefield. Chuen quickly
interjects, promising to guarantee her
safety. Nanzishan implores her brother
not to hold back just because she's his
sister. After a moment's hesitation, he
relents, allowing her to join the front
line. Shu Shinghi then instructs
everyone to finish their meal, rest for
3 hours, and prepare for departure.
Elsewhere, Chen Leani and Susi Shan
accept the decision, remarking that
they'd only be dead weight on the front
lines. The group eats animatedly, making
requests and playfully teasing each
other about their ages and preferences.
The banter continues outside with more
playful jabs about one person's age and
another's culinary choices. Meanwhile, a
cube-shaped object floats ominously in
the air, enveloped by a swirling vortex
of energy. At the reconnaissance point,
Su Lang and Chenair detect a staggering
1 million awakened signatures on the
other side of the vacuum gate. Standing
before the imposing structure, the group
is informed that a million Buddhas await
them beyond it. The decision is made.
Eliminate the guardians first. Chuen
positions herself to open the portal.
After everyone confirms they're ready,
she receives the order to activate it. A
colossal golden entity looms, addressing
Nanzi Ying, declaring it had been
waiting for him and advising surrender,
for the aliens are the true gods. Losing
his patience, Sun Lee snars, telling the
creature to shut its mouth, calling it a
clown, and threatening to sew its lips
shut. The squad charges into combat.
Someone remarks that using Buddha's name
for such evil is utterly repugnant. The
entity roars that they leave no choice,
and they will be forcibly enlightened as
an ancient monk begins to chant. Moments
later, the golden creature unleashes a
devastating top-own attack. In response,
Nanziing prepares his own
earthshattering blow, proclaiming that
gods will fall and Buddhas will be
shattered. Nanziing<unk>s attack smashes
into the golden entity, completely
shattering it. But just as quickly, it
reforms itself, declaring that its
golden Buddha body is immortal and
indestructible. Seeing this, Chuing
summons a powerful shield to defend
himself. As the barrier withstands the
relentless assault, he realizes the
enemy's combined power is overwhelming,
and they're trying to wear them down
slowly. Nanzing barks that they can't
afford a war of attrition. They need to
break this formation now. In response,
the enemy unleashes a devastating
attack, merging 10,000 fists into one
colossal strike. Back at the observation
point, one of the girls scoffs. They're
underestimating Nanzeeing. Getting close
to that attack will be a walk in the
park for him. Without a moment's
hesitation, Nanzying bellows Chuin's
name, and she responds instantly. She
teleports the entire group straight into
the heart of the enemy's attack. They
all reappear, surrounded by the swirling
fists. Then in a flash, they're
teleported again, materializing directly
above the golden entity. Nanziing and
the others prepare to unleash a
devastating cursed strike. [music]
Sensing the immense danger, the old monk
screams for everyone to protect
themselves with a mantra, but it's too
late. The attack slams into the monks
and the entity, causing massive
destruction. Nanzying Bark's orders.
Four of them are to handle the
protectors while he takes on the leader.
Sun Lee immediately agrees to the
strategy. [music] Chinying asks, "Tough
brothers refers to us, right?" Su Chang
activates his puppet wire arena,
brazenly challenging the old monk to use
his dirty tricks. Protector Vager
retorts that his mouth needs a good
scrubbing, but Such Chang just grins and
dares him to try. Chushingi confronts an
ancient godle protector, trapping him
within an impenetrable isolation dome.
Protector Anup warns them to stop while
they still can, declaring that true
seekers of the Buddhist state must save
themselves. Lan Chong Kong also uses an
isolation technique, but instead he
conjures a shimmering screen of water
around his foe. Protector Deepac accuses
him of going against the flow, but our
fighter scoffs at the comparison. The
Chin brothers summon a thorny jungle,
engulfing their opponent. Protector Raja
snars that he's not in the mood for
chatter, to which the brothers retort,
"Neither are we." Meanwhile, Nanziing
commands his fallen warriors to rise and
fight for him once more. Immediately,
the spectral forms of defeated monks
rise from the ground all around him. He
points his weapon skyward, roaring for
the spirits to annihilate these false
Buddhas. The leader's eyes widen in
surprise at such power, but Nanziing
merely glares past him, declaring,
"You're next." As the spirits surge
forward, the old monk snars, accusing
Nanziing of being consumed by greed,
anger, and ignorance. The three poisons
of Buddhism. Nanziing is struck by a
psychic attack, but only roars back,
"Shut your mouth." Then he unleashes a
forbidden sound element spell, creating
an absolute deafening silence. Advancing
without hesitation, he declares that
nothing fuels his hatred more than those
who pretend to be gods, and then flips
the accusation, calling the monk the
true embodiment of greed, anger, and
ignorance. As the monk shields himself,
he questions, "Who among us is the true
Buddha? and who is the real demon? In
response, Nanzing unleashes the searing
flames of Assura's fury, vowing to tear
off his adversar's false divine mask.
The monk proclaims that this blasphemer
has forced him to reveal his true dharma
form. Nanzing scoffs, "Was that form
granted by your alien masters? How weak
is your practice if it depends so much
on mere appearances?" The monk then
declares himself the reincarnation of
Tatagata, only for Nanziing to instantly
brand him a demon. The monk then
declares Nanzing overflowing with sin,
destined to be cast into the avichi hell
of the six paths of reincarnation.
Without missing a beat, Nanziing
retorts, "I already live in that hell."
He vows to show the monk what a real
hell looks like, then activates the five
element infernal formation. The monk's
supposed divine level formation
shatters, leaving him utterly
incredulous at how easily it was
destroyed. Nanzi Ying sneers, "You're no
god. Your formation is a joke, and now
it's my turn." As the monk frantically
tries to dodge with a defensive
technique, he's slammed by Assura's
molten rock. He manages to raise a
shield, but is instantly crushed by
Assura's frozen ice. Giving no quarter,
Nanzi Ying activates the golden lock
formation, trapping his opponent
completely. The monk is engulfed in
chains, desperately begging his alien
gods to save him. Suddenly, he vanishes.
Nanzying immediately suspects the
intervention of an S-class alien. Just
then, a desperate cry for help echoes,
and Nanzeeing instantly recognizes his
father's voice. The monk reappears, now
clutching Nanzing's father as a hostage,
demanding his surrender in exchange for
his dad's life. An enemy unleashes a
parasite purging attack, but the Chin
brothers defend themselves with a root
shield. As the impact slams into their
barrier, they realize the hostage is
their benefactor's father. The blow
still reaches them, prompting Chuten to
prepare for an emergency teleport.
Without a moment's thought, she
instantly teleports Nanziing<unk>s
father and his captor to safety. They
reappear beside Nanza, who immediately
starts healing them. Meanwhile, Chuen
opts to hold back the protector. The
girl uses spatial teleportation to trap
their attacker inside a shimmering cube.
The enemy struggles to break free,
exclaiming he has no time for such
games. Chuen merely sends him hurtling
far away, while elsewhere, the intense
battle against the golden entity rages
on. Chu Xinghi barks orders, telling
everyone to stay focused on the fight
and put their trust in Nanzi Ying. Su
Chang, meanwhile, expertly manipulates
the golden entity with his threads,
scoffing that he won't be distracted by
some petty demon. He then brazenly
taunts his opponent's divine whip,
asking why it's so ridiculously short.
The protector snarls, calling him
insolent for insulting a sacred
artifact. Immediately after, the monk
unleashes a terrifying divine
punishment, but Lan Chong Kong stands
ready to meet it head on. Lan Chong Kong
boldly declares it's nothing but mere
fire and poison before unleashing his
boundless ocean. The monk still holding
the hostage snears, pressing his blade
against the man's throat. "Don't you
fear I'll kill him?" he taunts. [music]
He threatens to end the hostage's life
if Nanziing doesn't kneel, but the young
man calmly asks his father if he truly
wishes for such a sacrifice to save him.
The father defiantly responds yes, then
challenges his son. Do you intend to
just stand there and watch me die? Chuen
offers to teleport the hostage, but
Nanzying refuses. instead asking her to
get him as close as possible. As he
draws near, the monk snarls a warning.
Don't try any tricks. Yet, Nanziing
attacks regardless, scoffing that the
only trick he's playing is saving his
dear father. The alien easily dodges,
demanding to know the reason for the
attack. Nanziing retorts that it had
seriously underestimated his old man.
The creature, sensing Nanzing's apparent
indifference, questions him, but Nanzing
shoots back that a species devoid of
emotions could never grasp what it truly
means to be human. The being offers one
last chance to join them, but Nanzing's
refusal is immediate and met with a
deadly lunge. The alien snars, calling
him a stubborn insect, and prepares to
unleash its crulest methods, but Nanzing
strikes first, connecting with a
powerful lava slash. Nanzing then
asserts that the alien's power is
nothing but an illusion with both weak
offense and defense. He declares his
true obsession is to utterly exterminate
them. The enemy relentlessly insists
that Nanzing cares nothing for his own
father's life. And this time the threat
is very real. Suddenly, a memory
flashes. His father arriving home with
his mother, deciding to name their
newborn son Nanziing. Another memory
follows. A young Nanzi crying to his
father about bullies, afraid because
they were bigger and outnumbered him.
Then a different memory. His father
scolds him for feeling fear, advising
him to always fight back, even if he
couldn't win. Moments later, a younger
Nanzi is seen savagely beating one of
the boys, who screams for help while the
others call him crazy. Watching from a
distance, his father states that after
this, they would never dare bully him
again for the rest of his life. Years
later, a grown Nanzing asks his wounded
father how he got so badly hurt. The man
simply replies that the battlefield is a
brutal place. Back in the present,
Nanziing confronts the alien, demanding
to know how it knows all of this. The
creature smirks, revealing it extracted
those memories directly from his
father's mind, adding that with its own
power, killing him would be effortless.
Just then, Nanziing's true father
appears, gravely wounded. The alien
quickly asserts it wasn't responsible
for the injuries, claiming it actually
saved him on the defense lines. It then
declares it's now the father's turn to
return the favor, causing him to scream
in agony. A chilling message from the
fifth defense line command blares, "Lord
Nan Xong Shan has been reported missing
in action." Hearing this grim
confirmation, Nanziing simply responds,
"Understood." The alien gloats,
announcing it has completely merged with
Nanzi<unk>s father's blood, and taunts
him, asking if he truly has the guts to
kill him now. Mockingly, it declares
that insects are weak creatures, forever
bound by their emotions as it prepares
to make its escape. The golden entity
then attempts an Earth escape art.
Nanzing confronts it, desperately asking
his father what he should do. To the
alien's shock, his father's
consciousness suddenly screams, begging
Nanzing to save him. Enraged by this
unexpected resilience, the being snarls,
demanding they stop playing games and
unleashes a forbidden lava spell. The
golden figure is engulfed in searing
flames, questioning why this is
happening. Finally, the alien
understands. Nanziing knew who the real
father was all along. It persistence
these humans after all. Amidst the
roaring flames, Nanzying<unk>s father
tells the alien that it would never
understand. But that's precisely why
humanity endures. He bids farewell,
promising to wait for their next
encounter while Nanzing whispers
apologies. On his knees, Nanzing swears
that day will surely come. He then
pleads with his father to rest, vowing
to bring him home for a good meal once
all this mess is sorted. Meanwhile, the
rest of the group struggles against the
parasites. The siblings apologize for
holding everyone back. Nanzashan
explains that the decision was made by
her brother and their father, admitting
it's hard to control her emotions.
Chutian suggests bringing their father
back, but is told it's likely for the
same reason he didn't revive the others.
Her sister clarifies that his wish is
for everyone to rest in peace. And on
the battlefield, even the undead can die
again. Little Chuen whines that these
bugs are just too tough to kill. Seeing
this, the Chin siblings offer to try,
charging straight into the parasitic
horde. Just then, Protector Raja
returns, demanding to know what they've
done to his dharma body. Nanziing
regaining his composure tells a
companion they need to clean up their
own mess and the entire battlefield. Chu
Singh he explains to one of the monks
that the Dharma body was merely an
illusion created by the now dead alien.
Lon Chong Kong attacks his opponent,
mocking how cowardly he's become after
losing his dharma body. Su Chang traps
his adversary, explaining that they were
all duped by illusions, forgetting their
true potential and acting like complete
idiots. Shu Shinghi pierces his enemy
with a precise strike. Then Lan Chong
Kong freezes his opponent solid while Su
Chang carves up the last protector.
Finally, Nanziing unleashes a
devastating tornado, declaring he will
cleanse this battlefield once and for
all. The group watches the Chin siblings
with Chu Singh stating they don't need
help. They must grow on their own. The
last enemy tries to flee, but the
siblings block his escape. Desperate, he
unleashes a swarm of sea shell
parasites. However, Chinying casts a
reverse parasitism spell. Seeds burst
from the parasites, completely turning
the attack back on him. The man ends up
trapped by metallic thorns. Utterly
immobilized, he whimpers, wondering why
Buddha didn't come to save him. The
siblings simply explain that Buddha only
helps those who help themselves.
Nanzying then addresses the spirits of
the fallen monks, offering them a chance
at redemption on the fifth line of
defense. The spirits accept, ascending
and departing towards the horizon. Just
then, Cang Yan emerges from a portal
laden with food, announcing that the sun
is risen and it's [music] breakfast
time. Such Chang greets her, surprised
she's already prepared everything. She
simply replies that it's the only thing
she's truly good at. Sunli then tells
everyone to grab some grub and asks Chu
Tian to teleport Suang and Chen are
over. Meanwhile, Nanziing and the others
remain silent amidst the wreckage.
[music] He turns to Chinying, asking her
to plant a tree near where his father
fell so he won't lose him again in the
future. From a [music] distance, Sunli
and Chuian watch the group gathered
under the newly planted tree. He then
tells her to bring everyone over to eat
before the food gets cold. Once
gathered, Jang Yuan hands a meal to
Nanziing, who thanks her silently. Sunli
also serves him, insisting he needs to
eat to keep his strength up. Little Chu
Tian sits next to Nanzan, offering her
own food. Soon, other squad members
approach, doing the same and offering
their meals to Nanzi Ying. He just
stares at the full food box before him.
One of the guys tells him to stop
hesitating and just eat, reminding him
there's still work to do afterward. A
short while later, Nanzying's food box
lies empty on the ground. Next, [music]
he instructs Su Lang to compile a
bestiary of aliens and share it in real
time with the fifth line of defense.
Immediately after, she reports news of
an S-rank alien appearing at the
vanguard, causing severe casualties. At
that exact moment, the void gate ahead
unleashes yet another wave of A-rank
aliens. Numerous monstrous creatures
erupt from the portal, surging directly
towards the group. Faced with this,
Nanziing orders Chuten to return with
him to the defense line, leaving the
others responsible for eliminating the
enemies right here. On the front lines,
the fifth defense formation is plunged
into absolute chaos. Immediately after,
a barrage of aerial attacks begins to
pummel the battlefield. Facing the
forbidden spells, countless creatures
are held back by a single devastating
strike. Among them, a multi-armed golem
is struck by electrical discharges while
other monsters are hurled away.
Meanwhile, amidst the beast tide,
humanoid creatures charge head-on
against a monster with razor-sharp
claws. In the spirit sector, a warrior
announces the solitary blade assault,
brandishing 18 spears in a single hand.
Above the creatures, a vortex-shaped
attack begins to coalesce in the sky.
Then, the devastating force slams into
the ground, obliterating everything in
its path. Commander Wong Lay and his
soldiers react, utterly baffled by what
just transpired. One man screams that he
can't see or hear any attackers.
Bewildered by the assault as his own
energy threatens to rupture. Desperate
to stay calm, he activates the Crimson
Abyss silent breath technique. He
swiftly deduces the attack originates
from the dark clouds and orders the
colossal steel eagles to disperse them.
A bat-like winged creature emerges from
the clouds, making him wonder if it's
yet another alien menace. Analyzing the
situation, he realizes these creatures
employ an inaudible sonic attack to
destabilize internal energy, pushing
victims towards self-destruction. Faced
with this, an officer commands all
espers to retreat to the underground
shelters, conserve their strength, and
immediately alert Nanzi Ying. In a grimy
slaughterhouse, a group of men gloat
about becoming stronger after awakening
necromancy abilities. Suddenly, waves of
raw energy reverberate throughout the
entire city. The impact slams into
civilians, sending them sprawling to the
ground. On the fifth [music] defense
line, the winged creature clashes
directly with an elemental. Nanzing
recognizes the gravity of the sonic
attacks while his companion frantically
searches for a way to shield both the
city and their forces. With no other
option, he prepares to unleash a
forbidden sound element spell, deep
[music] silence. A barrier spanning 500
km activates, enveloping the entire
city. As the attack subsides, Commander
Wang Lelay recognizes Nanzying<unk>s
intervention and rallies his warriors to
return to the fry. Civilians begin to
recover, with one suggesting they check
the live broadcast from the front line,
convinced someone incredibly powerful
has emerged. Nanziing requests Chuen
teleport him directly into battle,
leaving her in charge of support.
Moments later, he materializes in the
sky high above the creature. The enemy
swiftly dodges his rapid attack, forcing
him to conclude he'll need to use
lightning. Meanwhile, an elementalist
activates a forbidden wood element spell
to secure his position. Nanzing then
unleashes another forbidden spell, the
lightning cut. However, the creature
easily evades it, making him realize
that even his lightning can't match its
speed or inflict any harm. In response,
the enemy summons darkness to envelop
its surroundings. He counterattacks with
a forbidden light element spell,
scattering the oppressive gloom. Bracing
for the next onslaught, he keeps his
guard up. The creature then strikes him
with a sound nullification spell, making
him realize a single forbidden spell
won't be enough to block it. So, he
begins to multiply the power of the
sound element spell. His companion warns
him of the attack's insane range, while
Nanzi Ying calculates he can only
accumulate power four more times. The
soundproof barrier stretches to its
absolute limit, threatening to rupture.
Despite this, he pushes the barrier to
an absurd overload of 3 billion times.
Realizing it's still not enough, he asks
Chuen to find a way to teleport him and
the creature far away from the fifth
front. [music] At that moment, the enemy
dives straight for Chu Tien, intent on
attacking her. The sonic attack strikes
her directly. At the last second, his
companion summons a wooden shield to
protect her. The man screams for them to
protect Chu Tien and ensure she doesn't
leave the soundproof barrier. Nanzi Ying
then unleashes a forbidden sound
nullification spell with an overload of
1 million times. Since conventional
attacks have failed, he unleashes sonic
interference, turning the creature's own
venom against it. He declares that even
if he's weak, what truly matters is that
the attack works. With that, Nanzing
unleashes a devastating sonic blast a
100red million times overclocked. The
strike lands directly on the creature,
crippling its eardrum and proving the
technique's effectiveness. The creature
hisses, calling him a pathetic insect,
and fires a blast directly from its maw.
In response, Nanzing retaliates with
focused sonic waves. also a 100 million
times overclocked. Struck, [music] the
creature screams for its vines to form a
protective shield. At this moment,
Nanziing realizes his remaining source
stones are limited, and he needs to win
with a single decisive blow. He
concludes that continuously relying on
forbidden spells is unsustainable. He
then wonders if it would be possible to
transform an ordinary voice into a sonic
wave attack. With this idea, he uses the
forbidden conversion spell to transform
his shout into an attack. The creature
charges directly into the offensive.
Still, the blow lands, though it proves
weak. Nanzying admits his voice alone
isn't enough, but then questions the
power of hundreds of millions of Carians
shouting together. A colossal energy
surge manifests on the battlefield. His
companions watch and one asks if the
battle is lost. Nanzing explains that
the barrier will only last 10 more
seconds and orders the entire city to
shout in unison. Through a telepathic
broadcast, Commander Wang Lelay calls
upon all citizens to shout alongside
him. He roars, "Cath will prevail." The
civilians respond with the same powerful
war cry. Through the city streets, the
clamor echoes among the populace.
Soldiers and spirits alike join the
chorus, screaming, "Cath will prevail."
Even the beasts on the battlefield roar
in response. Nanziing then activates an
absorption spell to channel the power of
these sonic waves. The creature is hit
by a focused sonic wave. He then
converts that power into a billion times
overclocked attack, manifesting a
magnificent energy dragon. The creature
tries to react with its own sonic blast,
but the dragon surges forward to
intercept the enemy's attack. To the
sound of the rallying cry, Cath will
prevail. The energy dragon presses
onward. It completely engulfs the enemy.
Nanziing shouts for the creature to hear
the roar of Cath's dragon and repent its
arrogance against humanity. The dragon
roars with fury and the creature
responds with its own pained bellow.
Nanziing informs them that he needs to
return to the void gate to hold back the
advancing army and asks to be notified
if another S-rank alien appears. He then
turns to Chu Tien asking if she's all
right and if she can teleport him back
to the cozy cottage. With great effort,
she manifests a portal and confirms she
still can. Immediately after, Chuen
collapses into his arms. Nanzing
declares he needs to get her medical
attention before anything else and
dashes toward the portal. Outside the
void gate, a man activates his domain of
annihilation against the creatures.
Another combatant surrounded by
serpentine creatures laments that they
aren't even good enough for soup. A
young man declares he isn't the same
idiot he once was and at the same time
creates a powerful water vortex.
Meanwhile, two other warriors utilize
the inferno of Thorn whirlwind to
strangle one of the beasts. With the
battle wrapped, one of them comments
that he already burned through breakfast
and he's hungry again. reunited. One of
the men wonders how Nanziing is doing.
Another responds that on days like this,
no news is usually good news. One of
them notices that the gate hasn't sent
any more A-rank aliens and suggests
there might be a teleportation pattern.
Given this, he orders Su Lang to record
all waves of aliens, tracking the time,
type, and rank of every single one that
appears. Suang confirms the order
without hesitation. Suddenly, in the
sky, dozens of eyes snap open in the
darkness. Su Chang observes the scene
and wonders, "What in the blazes is
that?" Back at the secluded cabin,
Nanziing bursts in, carrying a gravely
wounded Chu Tian. One woman immediately
calls for her to be laid down, while
another rushes off to grab a healing
potion. Once administered, the woman
explains the dire news. Chuen's severe
internal injuries mean she won't be able
to use her powers for quite some time.
Just then, an officer updates Nanzi Ying
on an S-rank alien threat, but quickly
pivots to even gra. America has fallen.
She continues her report, revealing a
million strong Esper rebel army led by
an S-rank Reaper is now advancing on
their fifth line of defense. Nan Xiing
curses his luck. His source stones are
depleted. Without them, [music] and
without any spatial transport, there's
no way he can get there in time. Sus
Xian suggests a power boosting drug
capable of granting a short-term surge
of strength. But another woman quickly
warns that it drains life force [music]
and would be irreversible for someone
already in a weakened state. Nanziing
immediately dismisses the idea. They
can't do that to a 9-year-old kid. His
only option, he declares, is to summon a
falcon and fly there himself. Susiaan
apologizes, [music] promising to rack
her brain for another solution.
Suddenly, Chuian sits bolt upright and
demands the drug, startling Nanziing,
who hadn't realized she was awake. He
tries to calm her, insisting it was all
just a dream, but she scoffs, calling
him a terrible liar. Nanziing sternly
orders her not to be reckless, but the
girl retorts that she's already been
reckless enough by following him this
far. Declaring herself just a reckless
kid, she uses her powers to snatch the
drug. Nanzying watches, horrified as she
swallows it, reminding her that she,
more than anyone, knows this is war.
Chuen reacts almost instantly, writhing
on the bed. Panicked, Nanzi Ying screams
her name as the girl's body convulses.
But then, with a calm he couldn't have
imagined, she places a hand on his face.
She then leaps from the bed, declaring
that she's overflowing with an energy
she's never felt before, and it would be
a complete waste not to use it. Nanzying
asks if she's truly sure, and her
confident reply is chilling. She could
teleport Earth right out of orbit
without even breaking a sweat. Seeing
her conviction, he demands more of the
drug for himself. One of the women
quickly hands over healing potions to
counteract the inevitable side effects,
while another offers them some grl
before they depart. Nanzi Ying
gratefully takes the food and Chu Tian
also manages to wolf down a few bites.
Meanwhile, at the vacuum gate, one of
the men grimly notes that since Nanzing
didn't show, the task of taking down the
S-class creature falls entirely on them.
Su Chang wastes no time, summoning his
powerful puppets to join the fry. The
marionets surge forward, launching an
assault on the grotesque, multi-eyed
creature. The entity unleashes a
terrifying energy that instantly corrods
one of the puppets down to the bone,
forcing them to realize its intensely
corrosive nature. Moments later, the
insidious energy begins to eat away at
the very strings controlling the
marionets. Someone yells to cut the
strings, and the [music] group barely
breaks free as Su Chang apologizes for
his momentary lapse. One of them quickly
suggests that their priority must be to
halt the spread of the corrosion,
proposing they use water element
abilities. Lan Chong Kong, seizing the
moment, summons a massive water cube
from the boundless ocean to imprison the
creature. He shouts to seal it, and the
vast mass of water instantly solidifies
around their enemy. The creature is
trapped, violently, pushing against the
cube's walls, and the group watches,
horrified, as the containment barrier
barely holds against its immense force.
The two brothers quickly conjure a root
shield to reinforce the structure. But a
comrade warns them it won't last long.
Nevertheless, they strain to maintain
the shield, bombarded by incessant
corrosive projectiles. [music] Chushing
he explains that while the water cube is
being corroded, it has at least
contained the monster. He suggests using
fire, but quickly realizes no one
present can wield that element directly.
Chinying then proposes creating
flammable plants, while another offers
to generate the necessary sparks using
his sword. She massive explosive plants
quickly sprout around the designated
warrior. He positions himself, ready to
unleash a devastating clash of sword key
to generate the spark. The energies
collide, creating the perfect ignition.
Fire engulfs the creature, but to their
horror, it merely splits in two,
revealing terrifying regenerative
capabilities. The resulting explosion
blasts Chu Singh backward. Midair, he
finds himself surrounded by the
creature's fragments, then pulled
skyward by sinister energy tentacles.
Chu Singh manages to recover amidst a
barrage of projectiles, assuring his
comrades he's fine. Chinying, however,
grimly warns that the rate they can
repair the shield simply can't keep up
with the relentless corrosion. Chuing
asks Lanch Chong Kong if he can control
the rain, but receives a disheartening
reply. For now, he can only manipulate
the already corroded water. Faced
[music] with this grim reality, one of
them suggests crossing the corrosive
zone to ignite the creature's core
directly. Another suddenly remembers the
spatial bubbles Nanza left behind. Even
without knowing if these bubbles would
truly guarantee their safety, the
protagonist's sister bravely charges
forward inside. One, understanding it's
the only chance they have left. The
spatial bubble slices through the
creature's body, and Chu Shingi
announces their defenses are holding
strong. His companions cheer,
celebrating the maneuver's success.
Nanzishan offers to heal him, but he
tells her to focus her holy light on the
corrosion. As their shield is about to
give way, she conjures a new shield of
holy light. The barrier manages to
contain the corrosion, but she warns
that with her current power, she can
only use it two more times. Chushingi
asserts that holding back the advance
for a few moments, even just [music]
twice, will be enough. He then asks her
to expand the barrier to protect
everyone, granting his request, she
expands the holy light shield. Inside
the creature, Chu Shinghi pushes forward
as the light carves a path ahead.
Moments later, he finally locates the
creature's core. Nanzishin begins to
falter, but insists he shouldn't worry
about her. A companion warns Su Chong to
act fast as the core will regenerate in
no time. Hearing this, Such Chong
commands his puppets to charge forward.
The wood element siblings receive orders
to implant explosive seeds into the
puppets. The puppets surge towards the
creature's core. However, as they draw
near, they're instantly disintegrated by
the core's defenses. Even so, with the
seeds now inside, a companion shouts for
Chu Shinghi to detonate them. He
activates his domain field, creating a
clash of sword chi to scatter the
sparks. The sparks hit the creature's
core directly. The core then explodes
from the inside out in a violent
detonation. The group rushes into a
spatial bubble just as the entire
aquatic cube threatens to explode. The
bubble shields them from the shock wave
that ripples across the battlefield.
Inside, Such Chang grumbles, asking how
long it's been since any of them took a
bath. Nanzi Shan replies that her family
has always valued cleanliness. Lan Chong
Kong takes offense, retorting that he
might look like an old pickle jar, but
he certainly doesn't smell like one.
Chinsuay then timidly admits the smell
might be hers. She explains that her
brother told her earth is precious, so
she avoided washing herself, leaving him
visibly mortified. One of their
companions laughs at the situation,
asking if they still need to be crammed
together now that the danger has passed.
[music] Agreeing, Nanzashan dispels the
bubble, and everyone finally spreads
out. She comments that there's an earthy
fragrance in the air, but it's not the
same pungent smell from before. Chinuay,
satisfied, concludes that she doesn't
need to take a bath. Then her brother
immediately retorts, "I don't think
that's what they meant." Lon Chong Kong
and another companion offer for her to
sniff them, but she recoils, insisting,
"It's not you guys either." Nanzishan
muses. "When you eliminate the
impossible, whatever remains, no matter
how improbable, must be the truth."
Chuingi then asks if she still has the
strength to heal him. She touches his
injured arm and asks, "Does it hurt?"
Then she smiles mischievously, adding,
"Just kidding. There's plenty of time to
take care of that later." Such Chang
dramatically shouts that he's in pain
and will surely die without treatment.
But Nanzan retorts, "No one's going to
think you're mute just because you stay
quiet." Under a nearby tree, he declares
his willingness to become a silent guard
dog for his brother's happiness, asking
the others to return while he remains on
watch. Lon Chong Kong states he'll stay
with him, and a colleague praises his
unwavering loyalty. Meanwhile, in
Antarctica, Chuen marvels that it's his
first time seeing real penguins. Nanzing
promises that after the war, she'll
summon back the spirits of their
friends. She then confirms she's capable
of both bringing victory [music] and
summoning penguins. Standing before
Earth's last source stone mine, he
affirms that this latest shipment should
be enough to sustain the war until their
final victory. [music] He extends his
hand and begins absorbing the energy
contained within the crystals. With the
source stones restored, he summons the
great legendary warriors of Antarctica
to reinforce Cath's fifth line of
defense. Immediately, ancient spirits
surge from the ground all around him.
Chutian asks why he'd summoned spirits
from all the lost nations except for
Salaria. And his answer comes with the
confession of a surprisingly selfish
desire. He then reveals his dream, a
world where humanity is finally free
from conflict, allowing ordinary people
to live in peace. Chutian calls him an
idealist, and she adds that she really
wants to see that day come so she can
have lots of penguin friends. He assures
her it will happen. Finally, Nanzying
decides it's time to pay a visit to the
Rift Reaper and opens a teleportation
portal. Before the Rift Reaper and its
army, Nanzying casually remarked they'd
picked a perfect spot for a graveyard.
The creature introduced himself as the
Rift Reaper, claiming to be a humble
admirer of Nanzi<unk>s reputation.
Takenback by such politeness, Nanzying
noted it was the clearest grasp of
language he'd ever heard from a monster.
The Rift Reaper claimed he could now
fully understand Nanziing, to which
Nanziing sarcastically replied he felt
flattered. Just then, Captain John
America burst onto the scene with his
soldiers, proudly declaring that America
had made the ideal decision for
humanity's future. He then raised his
mighty hammer and together with his
troops, they bellowed, "Long live
America!" Nanziing, thoroughly
disgusted, scoffed that their flare for
drama would be better put to use in
Hollywood. Infuriated by Nanzying's
continued laughter, the captain snared,
threatening to smash his face in. The
Rift Reaper, eyeing Jon, told him to
fight if he truly wished, stating he
needed to witness his worth in combat.
As the captain charged, Nanzying
dismissed him as a mere warm-up and
invited everyone to attack
simultaneously. Immediately, the captain
summoned what he thought was Thor's
hammer. Nanziing scoffed at the pathetic
energy of the attack, asking how he
dares to call himself Thor. Then
Nanziing summoned his own Thor's dragon,
a real one, and asked if his opponent
had ever seen a true Cath a dragon.
Declaring he'd teach the captain a
lesson, Nanzying unleashed a forbidden
spell, massively amplifying the
lightning element. An immense golden
lightning dragon manifested in the sky,
making the captain shriek in terror,
recognizing the creature. The golden
dragon lunged, absolutely devouring the
poultry lightning dragon summoned by the
captain. Captain America stared,
dumbfounded at the colossal creature.
utterly unable to comprehend such power.
[music] Desperately trying to resist, he
erected a lightning eegis for
protection. But the attack slammed into
him anyway, eliciting a scream of utter
disbelief. [music] Then the golden
dragon violently slammed him into the
ground, crushing him. Chuten, observing
the aftermath, snidly remarked on the
captain's obsession with greatness, and
the prominent letter stamped on his
helmet. The Rift Reaper turned to the
remaining soldiers, coldly stating that
the captain proved his uselessness in
death and that he wouldn't mind clearing
out the rest of the trash. But then,
Vice Captain Johnny America stepped
forward, rallying the soldiers to avenge
their fallen leader and prepare for a
suicidal counterattack. Nanziing
observed that these fools truly had no
intention of giving up and declared
they'd be the very first to experience
his newest technique. He then combined
and massively amplified the forbidden
spells of Razer Gale and Sonic Wave. The
devastating technique slammed directly
into the vice captain and his bewildered
soldiers. The resulting celestial tremor
engulfed them with eight desolate, souls
shattering howls. Nanzing remarked
they'd truly dug a fine tomb for
themselves and graciously offered to
help them find eternal rest. He then
manifested a protective earth dragon
around himself. The focused convergence
of sonic waves slammed into their
crumbling bastion. A soldier screamed as
his meager earth defense shattered
completely around him. The combatant was
thrown back, gasping, questioning how
one man could possibly master so many
powers. Nanzying sauntered over to the
fallen soldiers, telling them the answer
was simple. If they truly wish to be
great again, he then initiated an undead
summoning, ordering their spirits to
rise, fight for Earth, and reinforce
Cath's fifth line of defense. The
spectral forms of the fallen soldiers
rose from the ground. Spirits
reanimated, ready to bolster the lines
and fight once more in humanity's name.
The Rift Reaper, witnessing
Nanzying<unk>s immense power,
acknowledged his true value and declared
that a grand battle between them was now
inevitable. Nanzing conceded this was
the most cunning alien he'd ever faced,
almost finding himself admiring the
creature for it. Still, he reminded
himself an enemy is an enemy and
commanded his spirits to charge forward
in an infernal assault for Earth. The
creature then proposed a wager, rapidly
spinning in the air with surprising
agility. It suggested a battle of wits
with the loser swearing feelalty to the
victor. Nanzying accepted the wager but
swiftly altered the terms. If the rift
reaper won, Nanzing died, but if
Nanzying won, he'd only accept the
creature's service if it could prove its
true worth. He then manifested a reverse
cyclone to counterattack. The cyclone
violently collided with the creature's
fiery assault. The Rift Reaper accepted
the revised terms without a moment's
hesitation, clearly eager for the
impending confrontation. Immediately, a
relentless barrage of fireballs streaked
towards Nanziing. He calmly erected an
energy barrier, shielding himself from
the onslaught. Then he amplified a
glacial formation by a staggering 50
times. His amplified ice attack slammed
into the fireballs, triggering a massive
earthshaking explosion across the entire
battlefield. Amidst a series of
explosions, the Rift Reaper condenses a
massive sphere of attack. The fiery orb
h hurtles straight towards a glacial
barrier erected by Nanzeeing, who
declares he'll amplify his ice formation
a hundfold. But even as the icy
structure rapidly expands, it's
violently annihilated by a direct hit.
The Rift Reaper scoffs, deeming the
formation insufficient and then calls
forth a devastating rain of celestial
fire meteors. Seeing the incandescent
shower approaching, Nanzing realizes
there's no other choice. He has to use
his ultimate move, something he's never
unleashed before. Raising his power, he
activates the forbidden spell over
Overdrive, initiating Star Genesis to
force the meteors to converge. With a
cosmic shift, he completely takes
control of the attack, ordering all the
projectiles to veer away from Earth and
return to the cosmos. The Rift Reaper
gapes, questioning if Nanzying can truly
manipulate stars, and why he'd never use
such power to protect the planet before.
Advancing, Nanzing retorts that
cyclones, projectiles, and even fire
meteors are now utterly useless against
him. He challenges the reaper to show
any other tricks it might still possess,
then prepares to strike with the Assura
Dragon Hunter technique. Nanziing deafly
dodges the creature's incoming attack,
commenting that if he had a choice, he
wouldn't be brawling with it. But since
the Rift Reaper clearly has no intention
of surrendering, their little chat can
wait until after the fight. Immediately,
he reactivates the forbidden spell,
Overdrive, to summon a colossal magma
dragon. With a command to advance, the
fiery beast lunges at its opponent. The
clash between their two immense powers
triggers a cataclysmic explosion.
Nanziing observes that with this move,
their forces are now evenly matched. The
magma dragon grapples with the Rift
Reaper, managing to immobilize it. With
the creature pinned, the young hero
decides to add the Assura's infernal
slash to the attack. The Rift Reaper
reacts violently, making Nanzing wonder
if it activated some kind of earthquake
ability. Analyzing the situation, he
deduces the monster's weak point must be
its back, as it made an obvious effort
to protect it while its tail was already
restrained by the dragon. Now that he's
found the vulnerability, he declares the
fight will become simple and begins
preparing another forbidden spell.
Harnessing the earth element, he invokes
the Earth's multiple convergence, then
gathers energy from the lightning
element and finally unleashes the myriad
tribulations of lightning. Pummeled by
the successive attacks, the Rift Reaper
shouts for him to stop, declaring its
surrender. The creature then offers to
submit and serve Nanzi for life. But
Nanzying is skeptical. How could he
trust an alien, especially one so
intelligent? He demands to know how it
will prove its worth and loyalty. At
that instant, the electrical attack is
suspended midair. He reminds the
creature about its unsatisfactory
descending lightning tribulation, a
subtle threat. The Rift Reaper claims to
understand his concerns and proposes a
gamble, asking Nanzying to recall the
magma dragon so it can use its own tail.
Nanziing dismisses the idea of any
gamble, stating the creature wouldn't
win a rematch anyway, and the monster
thanks him for his wisdom. The creature
then raises its own tail, revealing its
final vulnerability. It explains that
these are its descendants, the last
seeds for the continuation of its
civilization and entrusts them into his
care. Stunned, Nanzing questions if he
should truly shoulder such a
responsibility, and the Rift Reaper
confirms unequivocally. Nanzying poisons
his blade, interrogating how he can be
sure these descendants aren't some kind
of weapon, or if the creature is simply
trying to use him to facilitate a
greater invasion scheme. Without a word,
Nanziing slashes the Rift Reaper's back
with his blade. Dark Liquid gushes from
the gaping wound in the creature's body.
The Rift Reaper explains it
intentionally didn't activate any
defenses, allowing the attack to strike
it down, and asks if Nanziing can trust
it now. Nanziing replies he only trusts
halfway, but demands to know the reason
behind this drastic action. The creature
then explains that its race and humanity
are in essence [music] equal, both
having been invaded and pushed to the
brink of annihilation. Deep down, it too
is an adversary to the true invaders.
Nanziing challenges the audacity of an
invader calling itself an adversary,
asking if there are no limits to what it
would do just to survive. The Rift
Reaper responds that this doubt exists
because Nanziing doesn't yet know the
truth behind the 10,000 races invasion.
It reveals that everything is merely a
game orchestrated by a superior
civilization called the Celestials and
Earth is just the chosen arena for a
pre-duel cleanse. In light of this,
Nanzying questions if in their eyes
humans aren't even qualified to
participate, merely treated like ants
destined to be swatted aside. The Rift
Reaper confirms and Nanziing presses him
for details about his race and the
so-called celestials invasion. The
creature begins explaining that his
people, the sky scorpions, once thrived
on planet N66, rulers of their world.
Millions of years of evolution, wars,
and conflicts eventually forged them
into a civilization founded on peace and
tolerance. But that harmony was
short-lived. A celestial descended upon
their planet. The entity demanded they
participate in the 10,000 races
tournament. Their refusal was met with a
brutal, massive assault from its
warriors. The cost was catastrophic. A
celestial's power operated on a scale
utterly alien to their own. Comrades and
kin fell one after another. The
Celestial seemed to command all cosmic
elements. The entire war lasted less
than half an hour. Their defeat was
absolute, pushing them to choose
annihilation over a life of servitude.
As the sole survivor, he was branded a
traitor, but he couldn't bear to watch
his civilization vanish due to a blind
challenge forcing him into this twisted
hunting game. Nanzying reels, a whole
race wiped out in less than 30 minutes.
He asks why the Rift Reaper chose to bet
everything on him. The Rift Reaper
responds that he sensed an aura within
Nanzying, disturbingly similar to that
of the Celestials. Shocked, Nanzying
demands to know how that's even
possible. The creature explains that
while faint, the essence was identical.
The elemental control Nanzi displayed in
battle was unmistakable proof. Nanziing
then grapples with his past life, his
rebirth, [music] wondering if it all
ties back to these celestials and their
true terrifying objective. The Rift
Reaper adds that he also sensed
something resonating with his own races
civilization within Nanzi. That's why he
chose submission over death. Nanzing
asks what value he, the Rift Reaper,
could possibly offer. The creature
responds, "He can obliterate any alien
below S-rank, and he understands the
mechanics of the void gate." Nanzing
sets his conditions. The monster must
obey his every command until the war
ends. In return, he'll ensure the Rift
Reaper's return to his home planet. The
creature bows low, expressing profound
gratitude. Next, Nanzi calls for Chuen,
announcing it's time to head back. She
responds instantly. The young woman is
visibly startled to see the monster
still alive. Nanziing introduces him as
Reaver, the newest member of their
squad. He then asks her to teleport them
back to the void gate battlefield,
promising a full explanation on route.
Chutian agrees, activating the spatial
teleportation. A shimmering portal tears
open before them. Just then, she
realizes Reaver is far too massive to be
transported in one go. The Rift Reaper
apologizes, explaining he can shrink or
assume a humanoid form, though it would
cost him his combat abilities. Nanzi
Ying accepts the condition and Reaver
agrees to transform. The creature's
colossal body begins to contort,
morphing. [music] His silhouette
shimmers, twisting into completely alien
features. In his new form, the creature
asks if this appearance is acceptable.
Chuen declares that for reasons unknown,
she suddenly feels an overwhelming urge
to punch something. Nanziing, hand
pressed to his face, confesses his fists
spontaneously clenched, too. Given this,
Nanziing requests Reaver try for a male
human form that actually aligns with
Earth's aesthetic. The creature's body
is once again engulfed in swirling
energy as the transformation restarts.
In his new new appearance, Reaver asks
again if this is acceptable. Nanziing
and Chuen stare, utterly dumbfounded.
Moments later, they both lunge at him,
exasperated, demanding to know how he
could so thoroughly misunderstand human
aesthetics, why in the hell his tail was
in the front. Reaver apologizes,
admitting he still has much to learn as
his form undergoes further adjustments.
Nanziing finally concedes, "Now that's
much better." Chuchian hands him some
fabric to cover himself, which he
accepts with polite gratitude. Back at
the void gate battlefield, Lan Chong
Kong remarks to Chu Shinghi that the
gate [music] has been eerily quiet for
hours. Chu Shingh agrees, noting the
teleport seemed to follow a pattern.
Suddenly, a portal rips open, making Lan
Chang Kong exclaim, "There is a
pattern." Both immediately snap into
combat stances, yelling to identify the
approaching figure. They quickly notice
it doesn't look human. Just then,
Nanziing steps out of the portal,
casually introducing his new comrade, an
S-rank alien named Reaver. The other two
are left utterly flabbergasted. Reaver
explains they don't need to stand guard
all night. The gate typically only
activates at dawn for most aliens.
Nanzying then asks for the method to
close the void gate. The creature
reveals that each invading race has its
own unique passage. Reaver elaborates.
They must cross this passage, wipe out
the aliens on the other side, and
destroy their teleportation hub to
permanently halt that race's invasions.
Nanziing questions if the command center
couldn't simply be rebuilt after its
destruction. The creature confirms it
could be, but clarifies that the game's
rules forbid it. Finally, Reaver
concludes that once a hub is destroyed,
the so-called celestials simply
annihilate that entire race. As the
group debates the entity's true nature
and whether they can even hope to defeat
it, Nanzi Ying cuts through the tension,
suggesting they just take it one step at
a time. Chu Shinghi proposes shelving
that discussion for now and heading back
to the cabin, pointing out there won't
be any new attacks until dawn anyway.
Chuen readily agrees, preparing to
teleport them back to regroup with the
rest of their companions. Back at the
cabin, everyone gathers around a table
absolutely loaded with food. Sunley
remarks that he never thought an enemy
would ever become an ally. Susan chimes
in saying, "New friends are always a
good thing." And warmly invites Reaver
not to hesitate, urging him to make
himself at home. Rever mutters to
himself, reminding himself not to
hesitate, to truly consider this place
his home. Then, without a moment's
pause, he lunges forward and devours
every single scrap of food on the table
in a single ravenous instant. With his
face smeared in grease, he innocently
asks if he was too polite and if perhaps
he could get another plate. As the
others promptly dogpile Reaver, Susishan
just shrugs, commenting that their
culture is vast and he clearly still has
much to learn. The chaos quickly
culminates with Reaver being
unceremoniously yeated out of the house.
Lying bruised outside, he laments that
if he'd only known, he would have just
asked for 10 tables of food right off
the bat. Faced with this culinary
catastrophe, the group decides there's
no choice but to start cooking all over
again. This time, a proper barbecue
feast. Chinying and Chinuay waste no
time using their powers to instantly
plant and harvest fresh vegetables. Lon
Chiang Kong then uses his power to wash
all the ingredients clean in a single
go. Next up, Chu Shingi and Sunli team
up, deafly slicing and dicing the
vegetables. And for the main event,
Nanziing takes charge, roasting a whole
pig's head to perfection using his raw
electrical power. Reaver watches every
move with laser focus, utterly
determined not to mess up this time.
Nanzing sternly warns him to at least
wait until everyone else has eaten
before pouncing on the leftovers. Once
everyone is settled, Nanzing announces
their grand plan. They'll be entering
the void gate tomorrow. He then
immediately assigns Reaver the crucial
task of eliminating any creatures that
emerge from it. When someone asks how
they'll handle another S-rank alien
threat, Suchanga's chilling suggestion
is to utilize the countless bodies still
scattered outside with Reaver's unique
assistance. Someone quickly pipes up
protesting his rather gruesome choice of
words, but Su Chang simply shrugs,
confident his point was made. Meanwhile,
Su Lang and Chenier ask for permission
to head straight to the battlefield for
some intense training. They argue that
now, armed with knowledge of the enemy's
patterns, [music] they can evolve even
faster. Nanzying readily agrees,
integrating them into Su Chang's combat
group, while he, Chu Tien, and the main
party prepare for direct entry into the
gate. Zu Yuan then shrewdly suggests
that everyone share the hard one lessons
from the past two days of grueling
battles. The group dives into a serious
debate, brainstorming ways to refine
their techniques, concoct deadlier
poisons, evolve their elemental systems,
and forge even more potent healing
items. The very next day, on the
desolate battlefield, the void gate rips
open, unleashing a terrifying horde of
alien creatures. Nanziing barks orders
for everyone to brace for combat, then
tells Chuen to teleport them straight
into the fray. Chuen activates her
spatial link, initiating the jump. A
shimmering portal tears open, and she
gestures for everyone to follow, ready
to invade whatever lies beyond. [music]
The group arrives at their destination,
disoriented and reeling from intense
dizziness. Nanziing quickly instructs
them to stay calm and harmonize their
breathing. As they take in their
surroundings, they notice multiple
shimmering portals, quickly realizing
that the rank of the alien races within
is dictated by the depth of each
passage. Given this critical insight,
Nanzing decides they'll start with a
lowranking races passage just to gauge
the situation. As soon as they step
through, they're struck by how utterly
different the environment is from the
outside world, clearly terraformed to
suit the alien race of this particular
realm. Nearby, two guards idly chat,
commenting that their planet's main
forces are set to arrive the very next
day. Suddenly, the gate right behind
them is violently shattered. The group
emerges from the swirling dust and
debris right where the gate once stood.
Ahead, they spot a massive city built
entirely of stone, instantly concluding
that the teleportation axis must be
located somewhere deep inside. A squad
of enemy warriors charges forward,
bellowing about ants invading their
territory and demanding their immediate
extermination. Nanziang doesn't
hesitate. He prepares to unleash a
devastating assault, activating the
forbidden spell windblade overlay. An
enormous swirling whirlwind of razor
sharp blades erupts from his movements.
Moments later, the entire stone city is
engulfed in a devastating sequence of
explosions. A terrifying message
flashes. Game over for Jyn Shiking as
their entire planet explodes into cosmic
dust. His utterly stunned companions can
only gape, wondering if they made a
colossal mistake even coming here.
Witnessing an entire world obliterated
with a single attack. Amidst the
destruction, Nanziing notices something
peculiar. His source stone wasn't
consumed. He quickly deduces that the
sheer energy of the void gate must have
somehow nullified that requirement.
However, his relief is short-lived as a
strange ominous mark begins to
inexplicably form on his hand. He
wonders if the mysterious mark is the
price for using his powers within the
gate and what the ultimate cost will be.
Jug Yuan notices something is off and
asks what's wrong, but Nanzing simply
brushes him off, urging the group to
move faster. The sooner they shut down
the teleportation axis, the safer Hakia
will be. Jug Yuan observes his strange
expression, but decides to save his
questions for their return. Nanziing
instructs each member to enter a
different gate to handle their assigned
enemies while he takes responsibility
for the S-rank threats. Advancing, he
approaches an area where the portals
pulse with greater intensity. Concluding
that this must be where the S-rank alien
races are emerging, he keenly observes
the patterns on the portals. Wondering
if only ranks above S receive such
unique designs, he recognizes the
familiar bat symbol of an S-rank race
he's encountered on the battlefield
before. However, the Rift Reaper's
pattern is faint, making him wonder if
the race is extinct with only Reaver
left. Determined, he dashes towards one
of the portals, ready to eliminate those
familiar faces first. As he bursts
through the passage, he questions if any
residual mental power lingers in this
place. While moving forward, he reflects
on the gate being one way and why the
entity doesn't unleash all races
simultaneously. He also can't shake the
unsettling thought. Is this divine
entity doing all of this just for its
twisted amusement? Meanwhile, in another
desolate landscape, various grotesque
creatures march in a disciplined line
towards a portal. Two of them chatter
excitedly, commenting that today is
teleportation day. One reassures the
other, boasting about how easily they'll
crush the inferior races awaiting them.
Nanzi Ying smashes through the passage
just as the portal shatters behind him.
The alien creatures are utterly
bewildered by his untimely arrival. It
wasn't the designated time for teleports
yet. They frantically wonder if this is
a counterattack from the ants. But
Nanziing advances without a hint of
hesitation. Their leader immediately
barks orders. Prepare for battle and
launch a full-scale mental assault.
Nanzying realizes this is an incredibly
powerful collective mental attack. Faced
with the onslaught, he concentrates,
raising a full force mental defense.
Suddenly, two creatures join forces,
launching a seductive illusion while the
others offer support. Two alluring
female figures materialize, inviting him
to relax. As they begin to massage his
tense muscles, they whisper sweet
nothings, urging him to surrender to
pleasure and forget the fight, the pain,
everything. For a fleeting instant, he
seems to yield, murmuring, [music] "I
will." But then his eyes snap open, and
he completes his sentence with a snarl.
"I will curse your ancestors." He lashes
out, striking one of the illusory
figures. Nanzi Ying scoffs. How utterly
you underestimate the human race,
resorting to such simplistic tricks. The
creature reels, realizing their
intelligence was gravely flawed and
their attack has failed. The alien then
tries to establish a direct thought
link, but Nanziing immediately severs
the connection. Don't even dream about
it, he growls, raising his weapon, he
declares, "All of you die." The alien
leader in turn realizes with a jolt that
they've finally encountered someone
truly important. In a desperate move,
the creatures transform, morphing into
the appearances of Nanzing's own
companions. But Nanzing merely scoffs at
their idiocy for thinking such a shallow
trick would work against him. Then he
unleashes his devastating attack. Hell
on Earth! The creatures are instantly
engulfed by the technique's overwhelming
power. With a single decisive movement
of his blade, he commands them all to
vanish from the face of the earth.
Muttering to himself, he observes, "That
was much easier than last time." He
immediately prepares for his next
challenge, the Sonic Bat King. The enemy
retaliates with a focused sonic wave,
but a majestic dragon spirit erupts to
intercept the blow. The resonant dragon
roar completely repels the adversar's
attack. After the ensuing explosion,
Nanzi Ying declares, "The fight is
over." Moments later, he feels the
mysterious mark on his hand reappear. He
deduces that this mark is the price for
bypassing the use of source stones. Even
with his current insufficient supply,
winning the war remains the absolute
priority. He steals himself, ready to
face the next threat, the spectre of
decadence. Meanwhile, Chutien floats,
safely nestled within a protective
bubble in the passage between portals.
She observes everyone's progress,
lamenting that she didn't bring any
grilled eggplant to distract herself as
she currently has no active role to
play. Suddenly, a massive explosion of
fire erupts directly in front of her
protective sphere. Startled, Chuen spots
an alien and realizes to her horror that
she can't move. In the very next
instant, a gigantic dragon bursts forth,
roaring with incredible force. The
dragon lunges to devour Chutien, who
screams for dear life. Nanziing,
shouting her name, charges the monstrous
creature. He swiftly prepares a
forbidden thunder spell, trapping the
beast in a devastating thunder
desolation prison, then urgently
commands Chiny and Chinsui to rescue the
girl. As a mysterious figure dashes
toward one of the portals, Chinying and
Chinsui quickly arrive on the scene.
Chinsui cradles Chu Tian in his arms.
the siblings comforting her. Chinying
notes, "She's still just a kid, even if
she is the eldest among us." But Chu
Tian scoffs, denying any fear. "Why
would I be scared if you aren't?" A
massive lightning bolt strikes the
dragon headon, but the thunder attack
soon dissipates and its spatial prison
shatters. Nanzing realizes the beast is
escaping and immediately telepathically
alerts Su Chung. Meanwhile, at the fort
gate, the Rift Reaper unleashes a
devastating volley of celestial fire
meteors, triggering a chain of
explosions that decimate the enemy
ranks. The group murmurs, "His Srank
isn't just hype. He absolutely crushes
anything below him." The Reaper
transforms back to his original form,
boasting, "Just a little warm-up." His
allies scoff. Keep fighting. Don't get
cocky. He sheepishly apologizes.
Nanziing telepathically warns Su Chen.
An S-rank Sky Dragon is inbound,
wielding a breath that can freeze time
and space. Su Chang acknowledges the
grim message just as the creature
lunges, unleashing its devastating
attack. The Rift Reaper is warned to
watch out for the dragon's breath, but
the beast roaring traitor releases its
freezing blast, and the Reaper realizes
it's already too late. Su Chang tries to
activate his celestial puppet threads,
but finds himself utterly immobilized.
Undeterred, he somehow manages to weave
a celestial net, attempting to ensnare
the dragon and sever its contract. But
the dragon simply lets loose another icy
breath, and Such Chung gasps. Even his
legendary puppet threads are frozen
solid, rendering him completely
powerless. Determined to save the Rift
Reaper, one of their companions slams an
attack into the ground to shatter his
icy prison. The impact frees the Reaper,
but Su Chang roars his name in concern.
Su Ling quickly unleashes her sacred
light healing, mending his wounds. Su
Chang glares at the dragon, declaring,
"The Rift Reaper is my ally now. You
want him? You'll have to go through me
first." A surge of emotion washes over
the Reaper. He murmurs, "Comrades!"
Suling, ever pragmatic, scolds him.
"Stop whining about such a tiny
scratch." Chenier shouts a warning to
Such Chung. "Watch out for that incoming
breath. Its time and space freezing
lasts for 10 seconds." Such Chung
scoffs, "Paralysis arts! My ancestors
were playing with tricks like that when
your entire dragon race was still in an
egg. The dragon roars, charging him and
calling him a fool. But Such Chung
simply unleashes an entire army of
puppets. As the puppets morph into
fierce forms, Chener warns everyone,
"Careful of their claws." The dragon is
battered by a flurry of piercing
strikes, but it retaliates fiercely,
swinging its massive tail and slamming
directly into Suchen. Realizing their
communication is too slow, Chenier
decides it's time for a new tactic. Just
then, Suang activates their perception
link, sharing senses across the entire
team. Immediately, Chener unleashes the
full power of her eye of prediction,
shouting, "I can only hold this for 10
seconds." Seizing the moment, Such Chang
commands the Rift Reaper to provide
cover. The Reaper responds instantly,
launching another barrage of celestial
fire meteors. Simultaneously, the dragon
unleashes its devastating freezing
breath. But Such Chang, capitalizing on
the opening, lunges forward, striking
with his celestial net and commanding it
to rip the monstrous foe to shreds. Such
changed his celestial net, commanding it
to obliterate the creature. He yanked
the threads with all his might, roaring
for the dragon to be torn to shreds. The
beast fought back, a dangerous energy
brewing in its maw. Su Changen, noticing
the reverse scale on its forehead
granted regeneration, started predicting
its every move. The dragon tried to
unleash its power, but Su Chang stopped
it at the very last second. [music] With
the threads taught, he ripped the
reverse scale from the creature's
forehead, vowing to turn it into a mere
worm. Holding the scale in his hand, he
declared it his. The [music] dragon's
body began to crumble, and Su Chang
announced the fight was over. But the
overwhelming effort took its toll.
[music] Su Lang and Chenier collapsed,
dragging Su Chenge down with them. He
quickly scooped the two young women into
his arms, shouting their names. Visibly
distraught, Reaver rushed over, offering
to carry one of them, but Suling
intervened, assuring them it wasn't
necessary. She then conjured a healing
dome around the group. Inside the dome,
Chena remarked that they were finally no
longer a burden to the team. Such chang
thanked them for breaking the stalemate,
only to be met with the reply that no
one here was expendable. He then offered
them a vial, explaining it was a rapid
recovery medicine created by Chen Leani.
Suang scoffed, saying it was rare to
hear kind words from him, while Chener
added that she thought a dog's mouth
only knew how to bark. Su Chang merely
stared at her in silent disbelief. The
two fully recovered, surprised by the
medicine's potency. He then asked what
they planned to do now that their
strength was restored. With a grin, Su
Chang declared he was going to escape
the girl who complained about his two
kind words, then swept her into his
arms. Su Lang watched them leave,
commenting on how incredibly childish
they both were. Reaver added that the
scene reminded him of his own childhood
chasing sunsets on his home planet.
Meanwhile, Chinying and Chin Sui geared
up to test their new techniques on the
final teleportation axis. Chinuay first
conjured the Abyssal Wood, then
unleashed the sky pillar tomb seal.
Without missing a beat, Chinyang
prepared his assault, striking with the
Earthroot annihilation, causing the
structure to violently collapse. The
siblings combined attack triggered a
series of consecutive explosions.
Chinsuay commented that the destructive
power of their new technique was
incredibly satisfying. Chiny credited Su
Chang with the idea, agreeing. She noted
her brother's strength had grown, and he
confirmed it, explaining it was due to
the higher spiritual energy density in
the area. Chinying declared that once
they were done here, they'd head to the
rank area, but not before recovering
their strength and taking the
opportunity to develop even more new
techniques. Elsewhere, Lan Chong Kong
faced off against a formidable fire
elemental creature. He deployed a
specialized freezing agent, an attack
that instantly froze the flames, leaving
shimmering ice crystals suspended in the
air. Next, he launched a barrage of ice
spikes straight at the enemy, hitting
the creature squarely with the frigid
projectiles. Without hesitation, he then
targeted the teleportation axis
directly. Lan Chong Kong mused on how
incredibly useful the freezing agent he
got from Susa Nan was, allowing him to
truly act as a dual master of both water
and ice. In yet another location, Chu
Shinghi activated his sword aura domain.
He quickly realized that facing these
enemies one by one was a complete waste
of time. Going straight for the target
would be far more efficient. The
guardian surged forward to protect the
tower, launching a coordinated assault
against him. For a split second, he
wondered if he'd been discovered. Then
Chu Shinghi activated his Mirage sword
aura domain. Unable to distinguish
reality from illusion, the bewildered
guardians attacked everything around
them. He smirked, asking, "Who said a
domain master has to stay inside their
own domain?" Chu Shinghi declared they
were defeated by their own limited
thinking. Chuen reported that their
progress was moving swiftly, and after a
short break, they would destroy the
winged sky dragon's teleportation axis.
Nanziing declared he would scout ahead
to investigate the ranks S alien race,
warning no one to enter until he gave
the signal. He surged forward,
unleashing a powerful strike with his
weapon. But then he recoiled. Utter
surprise plastered across his face at
what appeared before his eyes. Chu
Shinghi wonders if this swarm of
jellyfish-like creatures is even a
single entity. Barely dodging a
lightning fast strike, he notes the
enemy's incredible reaction speed. He
dodges again, questioning if this thing
even has a mind. Chu Shingi charges,
blade drawn, unleashing a powerful
strike against the monster. But the
impact violently repels his hand,
sending his sword clattering to the
ground and emitting thick, noxious
smoke. Leaping back, he realizes the
creature isn't just spitting lightning.
It's also highly corrosive. Immediately,
[music] he orders Chuen to deploy a
spatial bubble. She instantly complies,
activating the ability, and a protective
barrier envelops him. Watching the enemy
regenerate, Chu Singhi knows his sword
is useless. He needs forbidden
formations and spells. He summons an ice
formation, stretching out his hand,
watching the ice surge forward,
wondering if it's enough to freeze the
monstrosity. But the ice proves utterly
ineffective against this life form. With
no other option, he unleashes another
forbidden spell, the raging flame
dragon. The fiery dragon smashes into
the creature, but it only intensifies
the venomous mist's toxicity. He watches
in horror as the mist begins to
disintegrate his protective spatial
bubble. Worried, he urges Chuen to
reinforce the barrier, and she does so
without hesitation. Next, he casts
another forbidden spell, a focused
soundwave. To his shock, the creatures
can absorb sound waves, too. The enemy
then redirects his own attack right back
at them, fearing Chutienne can't hold on
much longer. He must figure out the
creature's pattern and end this fast.
With a new plan, he decides to use the
enemy's own magic against it, unleashing
the 30,000 lightning tribulation spell.
All the lightning is absorbed without a
hitch. Facing utter failure, he tries to
detonate the absorbed energy from the
inside out. The creatures don't explode.
Instead, they seem to grow even
stronger. Chuen warns him, "The venom's
corrosion is too strong. She can't
maintain the barrier much longer.
Meanwhile, Chu Shinghi's arm is
suffering from the accumulated recoil of
his spells, worsening by the second." He
concludes, [music] "If a direct push
doesn't work, maybe a reverse attraction
can destroy the creature." Preparing for
one last attempt, he gathers energy for
another forbidden spell. Chu Shinghi
unleashes a spell that directly extracts
the lightning element from the
creatures. All the enemy's energy is
ripped away, concentrating into his
hand. He compresses the power into a
dense sphere and asks Chuen to
coordinate the teleportation. She
confirms she's ready. Chuing takes aim,
preparing to hurl the energy sphere. As
he launches it, he orders it teleported
to the opposite gate, wasting none of
its devastating power. Meanwhile, in
another location, a draconic creature
emerges, declaring it will devour
everything to become king. But its
celebration is abruptly cut short by
something hurtling its way. The creature
[music] wonders, "What are these ants?"
The energy sphere slams directly into
the creature. Back at the main
battlefield, Chuen collapses, asserting
she can't hold on any longer. Chu Shingi
screams her name just as the barrier
shatters. He stares down the monster,
realizing the venom is still active,
even without the lightning. Faced with
this, he conjures a protective cyclone
as a forbidden spell. Convinced the same
principle of the reverse lightning spell
can work with water, he begins
extracting the aquatic element. Chu
Shinghi unleashes a forbidden spell,
ripping the water element directly from
the creature. Concentrated, [music] he
begins to compress the energy and the
stolen water slowly condenses into a
swirling sphere of raw power. The might
stabilizes, firm and formidable in his
grasp, and he grins with confidence
before launching the water sphere
towards the opposing gate. Elsewhere, a
monstrous being is suddenly frozen solid
by the teleported attack. Next, Chu
Shingh utilizes a forbidden earth
element spell, invoking the mighty Grand
Earth Burial technique. However, with
the continuous use of so many forbidden
spells, the curse marks on his body
flare up, the burning sensation
intensifying. Feeling his energy rapidly
depleting and nightfall approaching
fast, he rushes to Chuen, who is still
unconscious. He gently wakes her and
offers a healing remedy, urging her to
take it so they can finally head home.
Chuen questions if they truly won, and
he simply confirms their triumph with a
calm, knowing smile. Through a voice
transmission, Chushing Hi instructs
everyone to gather at the passage to
return to the cozy cabin. The group
celebrates their conquest of the Dragon
Wing lair, joking about finally being
done with their shift and demanding
overtime pay. Rift Reaver, not missing a
beat, sheepishly asks if he should be
ashamed to make the same demand. Sunly
chuckles, noting that Rift Rever has
certainly picked up on that Hakia sense
of humor. Su Xiao Nan and Chen Leani
prepare medical supplies, with one
asking the other to grab medicine and
cotton, wondering aloud how on earth
everyone managed to get so banged up in
just one day. At the dinner table, Jang
Yuan assures everyone their injuries
aren't severe and insists they eat up to
aid in recovery. The woman quickly
informs Rift Reaver that his meal isn't
included in this spread. He quickly
replies, understanding his role is
simply to sit and contribute to the
festive atmosphere. She clarifies that
his main course is still outside because
the day's hunt was simply too large to
fit inside the house. Meanwhile, Lan
Chong Kong brags to Su Chang about
single-handedly dispatching 27 A-rank
alien species or lower. Such Chung
scoffs, reminding him he returned in
that state, even with group support. A
younger companion interrupts their
bickering, proudly declaring they
actually took down an S-rank creature.
Su Chang chuckles, remarking to Lanch
Kong that their retriever has finally
learned to talk back. One of the young
men reports that everyone's abilities
have improved and the battlefront on
Daxia's fifth defense line has begun to
shrink. A woman advises Nanzi not to
push himself so hard. He responds that
he'll explain what's needed after they
finish eating so as not to spoil
anyone's appetite. Later in the clinic,
Nanziing secretly requests they examine
the mysterious marks on his body, asking
what they know about them. Susiana
speculates they might be some kind of
tattoo. Chenlani, however, wonders if
they're actually a curse, a consequence
of overusing forbidden spells. Nanzishan
confirms her fears. It is indeed a
curse. The woman presses on the marks,
but he explains there's no pain, only a
searing burn that flares up whenever he
uses a forbidden spell. A sample of his
blood is then collected for analysis.
One of the medics asks Nanzan to try a
sacred light healing technique, and then
she and her colleague quickly withdraw.
Outside, the others question her about
the situation, but she still has no
answers. Nanzan then uses sacred light
purification on Nanziing. However, she
quickly realizes the technique has no
effect on the marks. Undeterred, she
decides to apply an enhanced cure. The
marks immediately react to the enhanced
cure, taking Nanziing by surprise.
Suddenly, the curse violently
retaliates, throwing Nanashan across the
room. Nanziing screams his sister's
name. A companion rushes to catch her,
calling out to ensure she's all right.
He asks if she's okay and Nanzan shakily
confirms she is. The marks wythe
intensely across Nanzing's body, making
him wonder if the curse directly reacted
to the sacred light. Nanzan explains
that the curse seems to be a living
entity capable of attacking on its own,
something she's never witnessed before.
The other two medics return with the
analysis results, informing them that
the skin tissue shows absolutely no
abnormalities beyond simple
pigmentation. She's utterly incredulous,
questioning how this is even possible
after such a violent attack and suggests
it might be some kind of parasite. One
of their companions helped support
Nanzan as the doctor explained the
situation was incredibly bizarre and
more tests would be needed. However,
Nanziing declared he was ready for any
outcome. She decided to first try a
curse removing ointment. Nanzing felt
absolutely nothing and with the curse
showing no signs of receding, he
concluded the method was useless. Since
gentler approaches failed, they decided
to try a folk remedy from Xiaoan, a
corrosive alien venom. The young woman
warned him it would be as painful as
being burned alive and asked if he
needed an anesthetic. Nanzying scoffed,
asking if she was underestimating him
and urged her to just start. The
corrosive venom was poured onto his arm.
He cried out in excruciating pain. The
woman observed that the venom only
burned through the flesh, leaving the
curse unaffected. This method, too, had
utterly failed. Examining the wound, her
companion pointed out that the flesh and
blood beneath the corroded skin still
bore the curse mark. Then she noticed
the mark extended all the way to his
bones. Nanziing concluded that to remove
it completely, he'd need to amputate his
entire arm. He quickly abandoned the
idea, especially since the curse didn't
seem to be causing any immediate harm.
Nanzan approached and offered to heal
the corroded wound. However, as she
performed the healing, she realized the
mark possessed the ability to
regenerate. Nanziing then questioned if
this wasn't a curse at all, but rather a
new ability that strengthened his body's
regeneration with each forbidden spell
he used. Su Chang, convinced it was all
a false alarm, then dismissed everyone.
Out in the forest, Chin Sui and Chinying
put their abilities to work. They
conjured a powerful spell, causing a
wooden cabin to emerge directly from the
earth. The structure rose completely
from the ground, seamlessly integrating
with the surrounding nature. Rift Rever
mused that on his home planet he'd
always built for others, but now they
were building a home for him. Once
finished, the siblings invited him
inside to see if he liked it. Chinying
explained that the house's unique style
expressed everyone's feelings for him.
The lights flickered on, revealing a
projector, a thoughtful gift from Chu
Tian. Rift Reaver instantly burst into
tears, profusely thanking everyone and
practically flooding the place with his
emotions, while Chinsu and Chinying
playfully chided him for his overly
dramatic display. Meanwhile, Chuch Chong
Chong and Chuchian chatted outside the
main house. He handed her the
custom-made ring she'd requested, each
engraved with the wearer's name. Chuda
noticed one unique ring and instantly
teased her brother about it being for
Nanzan, accusing him of being smitten.
Chu Chong Xiang just told her to stop
acting like an adult and go to bed, and
she readily agreed. Then she used her
spatial injection ability on the rings.
With these new spatial storage rings, it
would be much easier for everyone to
carry supplies and collect materials for
research. Chu Chong Chiang agreed,
adding that she deserved nothing but the
best. Just then, someone called out for
Chu Shinghi, and Chu Chong Xang quickly
bid farewell to Chu Tian to go assist.
Su Changa revealed that Nanzying<unk>s
blade was broken, but explained he'd
brought three rare reverse scales from
the winged sky dragon to forge a new
one. Chu Shinghi approved the material
and proposed a hardness test. He would
strike it with his sword aura while Su
Chong controlled the scales. Accepting
the challenge, Such Chong prepared the
scales. Chu Hinghi then unleashed his
mighty domain sword aura. The blow
struck the scales and Su Chung confirmed
their excellent hardness. The sword aura
simply dissipated upon contact with the
scales energy. Chuing Haye instantly
recognized the winged sky dragon's
inherent slowing ability. Realizing the
reverse scale carried this potent
effect, he concluded the new weapon
would be incredibly useful. Immediately
afterward, the scale was heated,
hammered on the anvil, and quenched in
water. Su Chang brandished the gleaming
new weapon, deemed it incredible, and
proudly named it the reverse scale
blade. In a dream, Nanzi Ying found
himself before a colossal ancient tree.
He questioned it about its identity and
purpose. The tree responded with an
enigmatic riddle. Your past is my
present, and my present is your future.
Then the entity urged him onward,
declaring, "He must become it and
liberate it." Bound by ethereal chains,
Nanzying demanded to know what this
meant. The tree simply instructed him to
press on, affirming that a far grander
future awaited

All the students shouted that they would enlist for combat and defend the country. But among them, there was only one student who didn't do the same. Nanzing stepped forward and stated he would join the support sector. Everyone was astonished. How could someone with such excellent grades be such a coward? Just 5 minutes ago, the general had announced that 10,000 clans of enemy races had invaded the human continent. The battles had left the cemeteries full. The general held a ceremony to honor those who died in combat. He shouted, "Here are the heroes who fought for the nation, your brothers, sisters, and sons. Will you let their sacrifice be in vain? Enlist, and we will defeat the enemies." Everyone was overcome with emotion, and 99% enlisted. Only one person refused to go to combat. This was so shocking that later the newspapers covered the story of the young man who refused to fight. While reading the insults online, Nanziing was the only one who knew the truth. In his past life, he fought bravely in the army and was one of the few survivors. After the battle, he joined the strategic war leadership. It was only then, while in command, that he studied deeply and discovered the perfect synergy of talents that can lead to unlimited power potential. He unlocked the five talents required, but ran out of time to reach absolute power before every human on the planet was eliminated. If he had discovered this earlier, everything would have been different. Fate wanted to test him for by some miracle, Nanzying was reborn 10 years before the end of humanity. His five talents were dormant inside him. Nanzing knew that the people who went to battle today would not survive, and he couldn't change that. He went to the youth training grounds. Now that everyone had gone to war, there was no one left to use the facility. The women and the elderly were working there to process the captured monsters into food for the soldiers. Nanzying approached them and offered to kill the monsters to help [music] out. The women thanked the young man, but as the protagonist walked away, one of the ladies recognized him. He is that coward who refused to fight alongside the others. The girl from earlier took Nanziing to the holding area for the monsters. The protagonist has a plan. To awaken his talents, he needs to collect monster crystals, and this is the only place in the city where that is possible. The girl was impressed by his courage to help and also thought he was very handsome. One of the older women approached the girl and started poisoning her mind, saying that the boy is as handsome as he is a coward. He is the infamous Nanzi Ying who refused to fight. Inside the training room, the protagonist was determined. When all the gates opened, the monsters attacked furiously from all sides. Then, with a precise strike, he lands a powerful kick right on the back of the creature's head. As [music] his feet touch the ground, he swiftly extracts the source stones from the fallen monster's body. His talent enhancement mechanism works just as it did before. He knows every level up allows him to tame a new mutant beast. Clutching the item, he affirms that he can endure wounds of this intensity. As long as the blows don't strike his vital points, rapid healing is no problem at all. A creature charges him, but Nanzi meets it headon without a flicker of hesitation. Using one monster's body as a springboard, he slices another out of the air, then twists his body to nail a third with a powerful kick. Back on the ground, Nanzi Ying decides to clear out the remaining airborne distractions first. He propels himself skyward, striking down multiple foes as he ascends. Just as he anticipated, his combat efficiency has soared. He surveys the defeated creature's bodies scattered all around him. Suddenly, the undisputed leader emerges before him, the Umbrella Bird Emperor. He immediately recognizes that in his current state, taking down this behemoth will be a monumental challenge. He leaps back, dodging the Emperor's attack, acknowledging that a direct confrontation is simply not an option right now. Midair, he twists his body, resolving to focus solely on its weak points. Nanziing charges forward, striking the emperor without hesitation, but he quickly realizes the monster's durability is far greater than he remembered from his past life. Even so, he pushes forward, delivering yet another fierce blow. Meanwhile, elsewhere, an intercom announces the start of the lunch break. Xiaolu asks Aunt Wong and Sister Lee why they aren't heading to the cafeteria. Aunt Wong scoffs, saying she wants to see how long he can keep up this charade. Sister Lee bets he'll bolt soon, and Aunt Wong readily agrees, adding they'll tackle him if he tries. Shiaolu, however, doubts an A-level test is that simple. Just then, an announcement blar. Participant Nanzeeing has completed the first floor of the A-level test. Sister Lee gasps, baffled by the speed. Aunt Wang, however, snorts, assuming he simply gave up and couldn't hack it. She decides to check for herself. The moment she turns, she bumps right into someone and promptly lands on her backside, staring up at Nanzi Ying himself. A scoreboard flashes, announcing, "Participant Nanzi Ying has achieved 2,000 kills, setting a new record for the first floor." Aunt Wang sputters, demanding to know how he got into such a state and if he really passed the A-level [music] test. He simply confirms, "I passed." Then Nanzi Ying coolly states that the demon bodies are ready for processing. As he turns to leave, Shiaoliu watches him, her eyes sharp with curiosity. When she turns to organize the processing, she's confronted by an absolutely immense pile of bodies. The progress speed, however, is merely adequate. The experience required for the next level has more than doubled. His data confirms Beast Tamer level two, making it impossible to reach level three on just the first floor. An urgent war report crackles over the intercom. The next offensive wave is about to begin. In his previous life, even two powerful skill bearers weren't enough to prevent the eighth defense line from teetering on the brink of collapse. He turns off the shower, resolute. There's no time for rest. He needs to accelerate his preparations and head straight to the tower's second floor. As workers haul away the monster corpses, they murmur amongst themselves. They hadn't expected Nanzi to pass, much less believe he'd need a lengthy recovery period. Sister Lee concedes that he gave his all. After all, few people ever pass an A-level test. Aunt Wong, however, warns that trying to do everything at once is foolish. The best path is always step by step. They wonder aloud how many days he'll need to recover, even joking that he might never return. They watch him limp down the corridor, fading from view. One of the workers then turns, calling out Nanzi Ying<unk>s name. Sister Lee urges calm, but Aunt Wongs face contorts with utter contempt at his unexpected return. She snars, demanding to know what else he wants. Nanzying simply replies, "I'm heading to the second floor to continue the test." Aunt Wong stares utterly stunned, then repeats the question. "You actually intend to go to the second floor?" She then demands to know what he's trying to prove, pushing forward with such grievous injuries. Xiaolu gently advises him to wait until he's fully recovered, warning him that the next floor is crawling with massive, vicious mutant beasts. He thanks her for her concern, but firmly states he prefers to handle this on his own. Indignant, Aunt Wong yells, "If you're so damn capable, you should be on the front lines." Xiaolu watches him walk away, wondering why he's putting on such a show here of all places. She muses that Mr. Nan doesn't seem like the type to fear death or hide in the rear. Just then, the system announces the start of the A-level test on the second floor. He immediately senses the second floor is vastly different from the first, emanating a far more intense pressure. Nanzi Ying deafly dodges the onslaught of attacking creatures. Despite his agility, one beast lands a brutal direct hit. The force sends him violently slamming backward. He realizes he can't afford to take direct blows. He has no advantage in size or strength, especially not with his current injuries. As he pushes himself up, the beasts seem to mock his battered form. Even so, he declares, "I am not one to charge in unprepared." He then glares at the creatures arrayed before him. A moment later, he [music] leaps clean over one of them. In a single fluid motion, he plunges his blade deep into the monster's back. [music] The creature begins to dissolve, crumbling into dust before his eyes. Since these level two mutant beasts are well within his capabilities, he decides to tame them before engaging them directly. He activates [music] his beast tamer talent. The creatures are engulfed by a surge of his power. Every single beast kneels subserviently before him. He nods, confident this will be enough to keep them under his complete control. Finally, he decides it's time to keep evolving, aiming to hit the third level in one swift go. 3 days later, in Yay City's training grounds, a worker calls for help from a colleague as they process carcasses. Sister Lee urges them to move the meat quickly, citing a lack of space. While Nanzeeing rests nearby, he decides he's done enough for today. His status shows he's reached level six mutant beast tamer. [music] In just three days, he's called over 10,000 beasts. And with his taming talent hitting level six, he can finally venture into the wilderness. Beasts rarely attack the city directly, thanks to the presence of super ability users and firearms, making the wild an incredibly dangerous place. Still, taming them is crucial to his strategy [music] against the 10,000 races. An older worker asks Nanziing if they'll need overtime to move another batch, mentioning everyone's eagerness to support the front lines. He stands, declining, explaining he needs to leave early today. As he leaves, Aunt Wong snipes, already giving up after a few days, huh? Another worker defends him, claiming tower progress improved because of him, but she sharply tells him to mind his own business. He retorts, accusing her of being part of the problem herself, nagging Nanzi Ying instead of focusing on her own duties. Shaolu approaches, informing him the tasks are on schedule and suggesting he take a break. He thanks her for the thought, but insists he truly has to go. She agrees, wishing him a good rest. At the city gates, a guard in a vehicle yells for people to clear the way and not block the road. A convoy of military trucks rumbles through the city as an announcement blar, informing citizens that wounded from the front lines need urgent medical attention. Nanziing observes the sheer number of injured, deducing the frontline situation must be critical. Some on the street point skyward, shouting as rockets streak across the air. As the projectiles fly, a civilian comments that it looks like they're gaining an advantage. Still, he knows the situation is grim, requiring long-range support, hinting that the defense lines collapse isn't far off. He adjusts his mask and tightens his grip on his blade. Outside the city, he trekks through the snow, affirming to himself there's no time to waste. Further ahead, a man in a stalled truck questions why they stopped at such a dangerous hour. The driver replies that the vehicle broke down, leaving them stranded at the worst possible time. A woman suggests abandoning the truck because of the mutant wolves, while another man agrees to grab their gear so they can return together. Suddenly, the group spots a silhouette racing through the snow. Nanzying zips past the convoy at high speed. The woman by the window wonders who would be leaving the city in the dead of night. The man in the truck yells for him to be careful, warning that giant extremely dangerous mutant wolves are ahead. Inside the vehicle, a young woman warns that the director has been calling repeatedly as the city hospital is overflowing and urgently needs the medicine. She warns that the area is dangerous and the team is unarmed, but her colleague retorts, saying they've dealt with plenty of unstable types and can't get involved. The driver decides the conversation has gone far enough and prepares to leave. Suddenly, they both look back as outside a man is attacked and starts screaming for help. Her companion grabs her tightly, yelling for her to drive immediately, warning that a giant steel wolf is right behind them. The young woman grabs a rifle, orders her friend to accelerate, and takes aim. She aims carefully and gives the order to open fire. Hearing the shots, Nanziang realizes they're coming from the herb gathering team's direction. He quickly notices it's not just an attack on the convoy, but a full-blown ambush by a wolf pack. Given this, he concludes the situation plays right into his hands, saving him some effort. With the rising spiritual energy concentration, beasts have become smarter and more organized. One of the wolves charges directly at the convoy truck. The young woman reloads her weapon as the driver warns her to be careful. She calmly replies, telling her to seize the opportunity and drive while she keeps the wolves at bay. The driver agrees, preparing to accelerate without hesitation. Nanziing faces the pack on a snow-covered cliff. From a higher vantage point, he spots the wolf king, wondering if the creature is silently observing everything. He then realizes that by dealing with the pack, the medical team might just escape with their lives. The alpha beast charges directly towards him. With the boss appearing, he declares the battle has truly begun and rushes towards the wolves. He positions himself among the bodies of the defeated creatures. Then he activates [music] his beast tamer talent. The ability unleashes, seeking to awaken and subjugate the surrounding creatures. Intense energy manifests around him. The Wolf King responds with a mighty roar. Their forces collide on the battlefield in an explosive clash. Nanziing begins to subjugate the wolves one by one. He declares his strategy. Capture the king to control the entire pack. The creatures look up, surprised by this display of power. Then he asserts himself, manifesting absolute authority over them. The ability slams into the ground, sending wolves flying. Next, he turns directly to the leader, declaring its domination as the top priority. Nanzing advances towards the steelwolf king and uses his ability in an attempt to tame the creature. The mighty wolf fiercely resists the power engulfing it. Still, it slowly begins to yield under the overwhelming pressure. At the same time, the other packwolves collapse to the ground. Back in the truck, the young woman continues firing at the remaining beasts. She screams for her friend to accelerate and get them out of there as fast as possible. The driver slams the accelerator, trying to leave immediately. However, she realizes the truck refuses to start. Faced with this, her companion declares they're doomed. Outside, two wolves attack the vehicle almost simultaneously. Then the windshield shatters under the violent force of the impact. Soon after, one of the creatures lunges through the broken glass. Suddenly though, the attacks cease and the wolves silently surround the truck. One of the young women wonders what's happening and why. All of a sudden, the wolves look almost cute. One of the creatures stares at them with a completely different expression. Right after, the entire pack runs off away from the convoy. A top the cliff, Nanziing stands beside the wolf king, observing the movement below. From a top the truck, the blonde woman realizes the giant mutant wolves have been tamed. Surprised, she wonders what level of tamer could possibly achieve something like this, finding the scene unbelievable, he checks his status. Level seven, beast tamer. He decides not to waste precious source stones right now. Mounted on the wolf king, he orders the pack to disperse until summoned again. Then he reinforces to the creature that humans are not to be attacked. Nanzing observes the horizon, aware he needs to tame all beasts from the nearby uninhabited areas. For his grand battle plan, he knows he must find a way to gather an army of over 10 million mutant beasts. Furthermore, he recalls that securing a safe path for the medicinal herb gathering team is also crucial. Suddenly, [music] he receives an emergency meeting summons from the factory, making him wonder what the hell happened. In the training grounds of the Yay City branch, a booming voice declared everyone present a complete and utter disappointment. They [music] had hoped that with their accelerated progress, they could alleviate the crushing pressure on the front lines. But an official flanked by two stern guards scoffed, claiming they still struggled even against slightly higher level mutant beasts. The elder mayor tried to explain, saying this was the first time Yei City had dealt with level four or higher beasts, and they simply needed time to adapt. The official merely repeated, "Time with disdain." He demanded to know if they truly grasped the gravity of the situation. Frontline troops were on the brink of starvation. He bellowed that the mutant beast stockpile in the rear was dwindling and they needed to start taking down higher level beasts to support the army. The elder mayor agreed, promising more people from Ya City would be sent soon to continue the task. However, he was cut off. The official stated he'd watched them for half a day and concluded no one here was useful, accusing them of deliberately delaying supplies. He griped that Y city had been holding back progress, even pointing out that the first deserter had come from this very place. Finally, he sneered that the city lived up to its irresponsible reputation, incapable of handling any real responsibility. An older woman bristled, yelling that her husband and three sons died on the front lines, asking how he dared call them irresponsible. Auntie Wong added that they all worked in shifts just to keep the supply schedule, accusing him of devaluing their desperate efforts. The man simply sneered at their complaints. His guards stepped forward and he questioned if they truly dared disrespect an official. In response, Auntie Wang shot back, "What do you intend to do?" Suddenly, a fist slammed into one of the guard's faces, sending his glasses flying through the air. Nanziing appeared, holding the stunned guard, and calmly asked the official not to resort to violence. The workers cheered, celebrating the arrival of Comrade Xiaoan. The elder mayor wondered what Nanzi Ying was doing here and more importantly how he managed to take down a level five ability user. The official spun around demanding to know who he was, then pointed a weapon at Nanzi Ying, accusing the Ya City folk of plotting a mutiny. Nanziing stared back, a flicker of recognition in his eyes. He knew this man. His memory flashed back to the traitor of his past [music] life, Lin Yukai, famously known as the supply line leech. In that life, this bastard had trafficked military supplies, and now he was clearly eyeing Yei City's processing speed. "No wonder Nanziing found him here." With that certainty, he decided he had to deal with this official, but not before draining him of all his resources. "There are no rebels here," Nanziing declared, stepping forward. "Why point a weapon at people who have sacrificed so much for the war?" Meanwhile, a worker shouted, "What more do you want from us?" The official suddenly realized this situation wouldn't end well. He scrutinized Nanzying<unk>s face, trying to place why the figure seemed so familiar. After a few tense moments, it clicked. He finally recognized Nanzying as the deserter from Y City, accusing him of hiding here and assaulting a soldier. Nanzing simply shrugged, "I don't care." But he warned the official, "If I die, the supply progress that's been accelerating will only get even slower." The elder mayor and the other man gasped, shocked [music] to discover this was Nanziing, the legendary slaughterhouse ace. Nanziing continued, explaining that highlevel beasts could interfere with the human mind. That was the real reason the official came to Yay City. But I can't help you, he added. You plan to kill me. At that [music] moment, the official realized a deserter so familiar with mutant beasts had completely turned the tables on him. From the reactions of the people around them, Nanzing<unk>s words didn't sound like a lie. The elder mayor decided to observe how this would play out. The official eventually concluded that if Nanzing was willing to take on the task, it suited him perfectly. He proposed a military oath. He would send 5,000 level four mutant beasts the very next day. He knew level four beasts were among the strongest, possessing high defense and powerful mental disturbance. For him, these demons were the perfect material to enhance his Assura talent. While Lin Yukai would do anything for money, his plan was [music] clear. first slaughter all the beasts, strengthen his own talent, and then eradicate Lin Yukai and his entire network once and for all. The next day, word quickly spreads. The 5,000 level four mutant beasts sent by the officer have arrived. The Yay City branch is summoned for inspection. Lin Yukai, the military supply officer himself, then steps forward to read a military order, assigning logistics soldier Nanziing to process all 5,000 level four mutant beasts. He states the task must be completed within a week and Nanzi will be under his direct authority. Moments later, Lin Yukai accuses Nanziing of insubordination, inciting riots among workers and attacking an officer. He warns that any delay will result in immediate execution. No higher approval needed. Chillingly, he specifies the execution will be carried out by a firing squad. The surrounding workers react in shock, murmuring about the mention of a firing squad. Lin Yukai then mockingly asks Nanzi if he's scared, reminding him how easily he'd agreed to the military order just yesterday. He adds that when the time comes, it will be his personal duty to execute him. Lin Yukai finishes with a smirk, stating he's sure he'll enjoy the process immensely. Nanziing, ever composed, simply remarks there's too much talk for a mere messenger. When one of the guards reacts, Lin Yukai cuts him off, commenting they should be more lenient with the dying. The show can begin, he declares, I'll be waiting. One of the men informs them that unlike lower-level beasts, [music] these high-level creatures require tranquilizer smoke. But the key components have all been sent to field hospitals. Shaolu warns Nanzi to be extra careful as there might not be enough doses. [music] The only reply is an acknowledgement that the warning has been noted. As Nanzi walks off, someone questions his confidence given [music] the beasts are capable of mental attacks, speculating he might be a psychic. Lin Yukai's bodyguard reports that the boy showed no reaction to psychic tests, but Lin Yukai dismisses it, preferring to simply await the execution, feigning concern over the creature's overwhelming mental power. He scoffs, [music] "It's a shame the kid will probably go mad before that, unable to even feel the fear of death approaching, he then complains that the boss is petty and that trusting a deserter was just a waste of time." Lin Yukai declares that after the boy is executed, all the spoils will be his. However, the bodyguard reminds him he was only sent to supervise and must know how to report correctly to his superior. He assures Lin Yukai that everything that happens here will be reported truthfully. Meanwhile, Nanzying observes that even physically immobilized, the highle beasts remain mentally formidable. He assesses the situation and surprisingly admits that it's not bad at all. An illusion manifests before him, leading him to comment on the creature's ability to conjure such vivid images. The elucory figure advances. Soon after, a skeleton descends from above and attacks Nanzeeing. The attack dissipates upon hitting the ground. Nanzing reacts immediately, counterattacking the beast, remarking it was a good try, but still just another illusion. He confidently states that as long as they can't control him mentally, they're nothing more than stationary targets. He adds that he still needs more energy to enhance his own talent, then throws down a challenge, demanding they reveal their true abilities. The situation is better now, he declares, even as shadows grip his feet. A voice then whispers, suggesting he's exhausted and should just let everything go. It insists he think of the price he's paid and those who died, causing him to call out for his father. The voices start questioning if it was all worth it, if protecting humanity made any sense, urging him to stop resisting fate. In a seductive tone, the entity invites him to simply take a break. But Nanziing stands firm, asserting that his revenge still needs to be completed and humanity's fate must be decided by humans themselves. The creature questions how he endures such a massive amount of energy and advises him to give up. In response, Nanzi Ying explains that by activating his Asura talent, his mental and physical power will drastically increase and this energy is the fastest shortcut to reach that state. Finally, he commands the energy to become part of his power and activates his Assura talent. Elsewhere, a man grows furious on the phone, pressured over a delayed delivery. He barks orders to his subordinate, telling them to string the other party along. Meanwhile, a woman serves wine to her boss, suggesting he spend more time with her. After all, the end of the world is drawing near. He scoffs, remarking that demand for their products has become urgent, and it's better [music] to make quick money before the prepared mutant beasts are lost. Annoyed, he complains about ambitious subordinates and secret military investigations, calling it all a huge pain in the ass before gulping down his wine. Moments later, he wonders where he could find a stable location to handle highlevel mutant beasts. Just as his phone rings, impatiently, he snatches it up, yelling at the caller to speak. The other person begins reporting on the military order at the Yay City branch. He grumbles that those fools are useless as always, questioning if the boy named Nan has been dealt with yet. However, the subordinate informs him they've just returned and the job is practically done in only 4 days. The man on the phone explains that the beasts were level four, far beyond [music] the city's capabilities, making the boss ask, stunned, if they really finished. The response confirms it. The task involving 5,000 level four mutant beasts was completed, and it was all done by Nanziing. Hearing this, the boss laughs, asking how the kid is doing. He's told Nan looks exhausted, but is in good condition. The boss then orders them to keep the boy under surveillance and to act if he does anything beyond killing beasts. Lin Yukai confirms, still reeling from the task's completion. Another man, likely Lin Yukai, inwardly questions how this was possible. He'd investigated Nanzing and was certain the young man possessed no psychic abilities. Suddenly, an information screen flashes detailing Nanzing's talent tree. It shows his current Asura level is five, and he's unlocked the alloy evil blade ability. Nanzing reflects that both his physical and mental strength have increased. Though he hasn't reached level six yet, he successfully awakened the first ability of his assura talent. While receiving care, he concludes that he can now delve deeper into the wilderness to tame higher level beasts and accelerate his plans. One of the workers praises comrade Taanan for bringing them honor, otherwise certain people would have belittled them. Lin Yukai mutters that it was clear they couldn't handle the situation, so they arrogantly decided to use them instead. At that moment, Nanziing realizes that the increase in his Assura talent level has also enhanced his perception. That man, he thinks, is an ability user after all. Liny Yukai, fuming, is held back by his bodyguard. He rants about his income being cut off and being insulted, deciding he needs to investigate that boy again. The bodyguard warns him not to forget that as long as they complete their tasks, their superiors don't care about the methods. By acting this way, Linu Kai is going against the boss's rules. He further states they need to wait until the boss is done using Nanziing before they can get rid of him, adding that there's still a lot of residual mental power lingering in the area. At this, Lin Yukai declares enough nonsense and vows to report personally to the boss when the time is right. Nonziing watches the people around him intently. He recognizes this as a psychic ability trick designed to attack his mind, but confidently asserts that they've miscalculated. This, he muses, is the perfect moment to test his Aora talent abilities. Linyukai begins to question what's happening, lamenting that he couldn't invade Nanzi<unk>s mental system. Confused, he wonders why he can't see anything in the absolute darkness as he should be able to perceive mental entities. A voice calls him, making him spin around. The voice guides him to the side where he realizes he's surrounded by dense energy. Before him, a condensed mental entity of malevolent energy manifests. Terrified, Lin Yukai shouts, demanding to know how Nanzi Ying can possess psychic abilities and have increased his power so much in such a short time. He distinctly remembers investigating everything about him. He screams, "Who the hell are you really?" The energy hurls him backward. The entity calmly states that it doesn't matter who it is, reminding Lin Yukai that he was the one who decided to spy on its mental world. Liny Yukai comments on the energy's terrifying level and begins to beg for mercy, [music] but the entity simply replies that it will give him a good show. The figure then charges and attacks Lin Yukai. Back in reality, the workers watch the scene in shock. Lin Yukai, now raving, declares that everything there belongs to him and no one should even think about touching his money. He scrambles to his feet, babbling that he was an idiot and could have handled everything himself. The workers whisper amongst themselves, wondering if the leadership pressure is truly so intense. While one woman worries about being held responsible since Lin Yukai couldn't endure just a few sentences, the bodyguard realizes Linu Kai has been influenced by the residual mental power and has gone completely mad as the man continues to scream that anyone who touches his money will die. Seeing this, the bodyguard concludes that letting Liny Kai continue like this will only tarnish the boss's reputation. Without hesitation, he lunges forward and attacks Linuai, swiftly executing him. He then turns to the others, apologizing for the incident and explaining that he had to put Lin Yukai down because he was influenced by the monster's mental power and could have ended up hurting everyone there. The bodyguard comments that Nanzi Ying has collapsed and appears to be seriously mentally disturbed. [music] He internally calls the dead official an idiot for getting himself killed that way and concludes that the boy might no longer be useful, deciding to report back first. He then informs the others that someone will come to take care of the situation and everyone should continue with their good work. Finally, a notification screen appears, stating that the current Assura level has reached level six. Mr. Nan is finally awake. A worker shouts and everyone rushes to his side. Still groggy, Nan asks how long he's been out. Learning it's been over 2 days. One of the men tells the others to get back to work, then urges Nan to get up and grab a bite. Nan immediately asks if that scumbag Lin Yukai sent more mutant beasts. The man shakes his head, explaining that the front lines military demands have doubled. [music] Worse, the battle at the ninth defense line was a total human defeat, forcing a retreat to the eighth. The situation is dire with their troops utterly outmatched by the 10,000 races mutant monsters. A level seven ability user barely made it out alive, losing an arm, and a level six flame giant made the ultimate sacrifice. Nanzi grimly notes to himself that while he knew defeat was coming, this collapse happened far sooner than in his past life. The worker quickly changes the subject, announcing that the higher-ups have declared the deceased officer was under mental manipulation, clearing Ya City of any blame. He adds that what's next is even more critical, prompting Nanzi Ying to demand, "What else happened?" Just then, Shaolu bursts into the room, calling for Mr. Nan. She excitedly reports that everyone, even those out on missions, unanimously voted him as the new chief of Yay City's Judgment Tower branch. She hands him an official appointment letter from HQ. Aunt Wong steps forward, saying, "This shows everyone's trust in you. Please take [music] care of us, Chief Nan." Other workers cheer. "Long live, Chief Nan. We'll work our hardest." Xiaolu<unk>s expression darkens as she explains the new reality. Their team is hald, but military supply demands have doubled. How many of us will even last a month without proper food, water, or sleep? She [music] frets, turning to Nan. Chief, what's your plan? Nanzying calmly replies that worker efficiency won't change much, so it all comes down to him. With my abilities, he declares, I can double our output, he thinks to himself. With this new position, dealing with Lin Yukai after he's drained his resources will be a breeze. Shaolu still urges him to appeal to command, calling the task impossible, but Nan reassures her. I've already found a solution. As he rises from his bed, she warns him against reckless stunts, reminding him of the immense pressure and his recent recovery. [music] Nanziing, however, faces his team with unwavering confidence. We [music] can complete this task. And the workers, energized by his resolve, shout, "We trust you, Chief Nan. We'll follow your lead." Just as someone yells for everyone to get back to work, a blur flashes past the doorway, startling the team. Nan instantly realizes that speed isn't human and certainly not from anyone on his crew. He bolts into the corridor demanding, "Who's there?" He bursts into an outdoor area, scanning, "Where'd they go?" Suddenly, a cold barrel presses against his head. A voice snarls, "Bold of you to follow me." A woman grabs him from behind, pinning him. "Don't move. Just answer my questions." She wastes no time. "Tell me about Lin Yukai's order. How many are coming in the next batch?" Nan retorts. You should be asking Lin Yukai and his goons that she presses harder. Are you his accomplice? Answer me seriously. Nanzi Ying sees her distraction. [music] a window of opportunity. He grabs her arm and instantly activates his Assura talent. She reacts just as fast, blocking his hand, but he's [music] quicker. She fires her weapon, but he intercepts the shot midair. "Who told you I was an accomplice to that scoundrel?" Nan snarls, "You got the wrong person." The woman recoils, asking why he's helping Lin Yukai. Nan clarifies, "I don't help him. I just complete the tasks assigned to Y City. Technically, he's still our superior for now." This visibly surprises her. Then she offers a truce. Let's join forces to deal with Lin Yukai, she suggests, extending a hand. I'm Jang Yuan from the eighth defense line. Nanzi Ying pauses, then extends his own hand, only to flat out reject her offer. Jang Yuan immediately questioned if he was choosing to be part of the problem. He shot back that Lin Yukai absolutely needed to be stopped, but definitely not now, and especially not with her. Nanziing explained that she clearly hadn't considered the full consequences of eliminating Lin Yukai. At that, she demanded to know what he meant. He clarified that in her rush to get rid of him, she was only looking at two options: assassination or an internal expose. Then he pressed, "How did she plan to silence everyone involved in an assassination, especially if there was more than one person on the other side. What's more, he reminded her that if the assassination attempt failed, she'd better think long and hard about what would happen to her afterwards." Nanziing explained that investigations would drag on forever, and after their recent crushing defeat, any whiff of internal conflict would be interpreted as outright discord. This would inevitably trigger a catastrophic [music] chain reaction, plunging the entire rear guard into utter chaos. Jang Yuen was speechless for a moment, then finally asked what he thought they should do. He simply declared he'd handle it personally. She reacted immediately, challenging if he really intended to do it all by himself. She told him to stop, reminding him he was just a defector [music] and not even she could wrangle those bastards. In response, he calmly reminded her they'd just fought, then asked what her chances of beating him now would be. Jang Yan recalled his incredible reaction moments earlier, realizing how different everything had been just a week ago. From this, she deduced he'd chosen to remain in logistics specifically to continuously strengthen himself with the incoming mutant beasts. Nanzi Ying said he'd already told her everything he could, then advised her not to act rashly, emphasizing that she was an intelligent woman. He then stated he'd personally take care of that conniving scoundrel, Lin Yukai. Jang Yuan reluctantly agreed to his request, but warned him that success was the only acceptable option. He confirmed their deal, adding that after Lin Yukai was dealt with, he'd depend on her to secure the mutant beasts they needed. >> [music] >> She questioned his need for even more beasts, pointing out his current strength wouldn't be considered weak even on the battlefield. She flat out asked if he was plotting something against humanity, demanding to know whose side he was really on. He scoffed that she was overthinking it, affirming that while he was absolutely on humanity's side to expel the 10,000 races, he simply wasn't strong enough yet. Nanzi Ying then bid her farewell, declaring he'd said enough and promptly left. She watched him disappear, concluding that despite him being an undeniably unsettling individual, she had no choice but to place her trust in him. A few days later, a disembodied voice announced that Chief Nan had successfully completed the last mission without a hitch and the next task would once again be assigned to Y City. As they walked, Shaolu reminded the group that last time someone was seriously injured. However, Nanzing swiftly reassured her, affirming she could take on the task. An official commented that Chief Nan was always incredibly straightforward and without a moment's hesitation signed the paperwork. He then acknowledged Nan's undeniable competence, deeming him crucial because he never accepted bribes, unlike other troublemakers who only caused headaches. Excitedly, [music] he celebrated the chance to make a massive fortune, especially since military supply orders had already doubled with the war's relentless advance. He promised that if Nanziing performed well in the upcoming tasks, Liny Yukai himself would personally award medals to him and his team. At this, Nanziing turned to the group and sharply ordered everyone back to their stations to start working. As the workers furiously moved the massive containers, instructions echoed, "Send one batch to the first floor of the testing tower and direct the terrifying level five beast to [music] the second." E. The official commented that Y City's work atmosphere was remarkably reassuring and with a nod bid farewell, promising he wouldn't bother them again. Nanziing watched the official stride away, his gaze keenly observing everything he'd accumulated. Knowing that every single resource would serve as vital fuel for the enhancement of his talent, he prepared to unleash his powerful ability, the evil alloy blade. He activated [music] its power and surged forward, charging straight into the beasts. With a single devastating sweep, [music] he sliced down multiple creatures at once. March 20th, Eagle Land's eighth defense line crumbled after a brutal battle, claiming the lives of 800,000 soldiers and 50,000 espers. Amidst the chaos, Nanziing unleashed the Alloy Fury Blade in a sura Berserker mode, tearing through a monstrous creature. Just 2 days later, the North Glacier's eighth defense line followed suit, collapsing under the assault. The 10,000 races swarmed in, slaughtering [music] 600,000 more soldiers. But Nanzying fought on, wielding the alloy dragon blade and unleashing the Assura Dragon Hunter to confront a colossal beast. March 24th, the South Glacier's eighth defense line faced the terrifying steel slaughter race, and 500,000 soldiers were annihilated in a mere hour. Against this overwhelming tide, Nanzing unleashed the Alloy demonic blade and the Assura Demon Hunter, striking back with all his might. By March 26th, the eighth defense lines of France and Kawasaki nation crumbled completely in just half an hour. That's when he declared, "Enough is enough." Rising above the monstrous horde, he unleashed the full might of his assura powers. Nanziing had reached Picasura. [music] Immediately, he activated hell on earth mode. He decided it was time to unleash that power against his foes. He lifted his blade, then slammed it into the ground, unleashing a colossal explosion. From a top a pile of pulverized monsters, he surveyed the destruction. The power at max level is exponentially different, he mused. It's on a whole other scale. Then, with a weary sigh, he deactivated Assura mode, collapsing exhausted onto the creature's massive carcass. A grim news report flashed by. Only a few alliances remained, and the minimum recruitment age had been drastically lowered to 16. He frowned. The collapse happened too damn fast. Meanwhile, Aunt Wang looked bewildered. "You finished the task so quickly?" she gasped. An official approached, his eyes wide. Chief Nan, your efficiency has improved yet again. Satisfied, he then asked, "What official position would you like to take?" Nanzi Ying simply replied, "I want him." The official blinked, completely bewildered. [music] He then clarified, "I need you to go to the northern jungle tonight. Bring back a pack of steel wolves to finish the job." The man chuckled. "Chief Nan, your resilience and audacity are truly commendable. I like that." Nanziing nodded. I'll leave Commander Lynn to handle it. The official tried to reassure him, but Nanzi<unk>s eyes glinted. Try any tricks and I'll end you. Nanzying fixed him with a cold stare. With external enemies invading and you acting like a parasite on the home front, you're beyond redemption. Alone in the falling snow, Nanzying mused. If his memory served him right, the 10,000 races would soon launch assassination plots. He'd need to be far more discreet. Then he commanded his pups to summon the nearby wolf packs. Under the eerie glow of the full moon, the wolf packs answered his call. A screen flickered, displaying Nanzing<unk>s beast tamer status. He noted grimly that the requirements for enhancement were growing exponentially. Meanwhile, [music] three vehicles plunged through the desolate snow-covered landscape. A guard reported to the official, "Sir, we've detected approximately a thousand mutant wolves ahead." The official grinned clearly pleased. The official barked, "Advance! Initiate teleportation to the nano cages." He was clearly eager to complete this task and get back home for other activities. Suddenly, a strange noise caught his attention. "What was that?" he demanded. The guard in the front seat squinted, scanning the road more intently. Without warning, their vehicles were swarmed by a literal tide of steel wolves. The official screamed in panic, "How could this happen without any warning? Teleport me out of here now." The guard frantically explained, "Sir, the device only works at a minimum distance of 1 kilometer. Our only option is to plow through them." Enraged, [music] the official roared, "Shut up and drive." The vehicles lurched forward, accelerating into the monstrous pack. Watching from a distance, Nanzi Ying smirked. Perfect timing, [music] he noted the full moon high above. Then he descended the slope, determined to tame some powerful new companions and exterminate these pests all at once. Nanziing unleashes the full might of his beast taming talent, ins snaring the surrounding creatures as his energy engulfs the wolves. A guard notices the packs have halted their advance, immediately suspecting a beast tamer is at work. He suggests they find this hidden master. Convinced they could be an invaluable asset, Nanziing takes command of a 100,000 steel giant wolves, then orders them to obliterate the convoy, leaving no one alive. A guard reports to the officer. The beast tamer failed, and they're now completely swarmed by a tide of creatures. The officer snarss, demanding they suppress everything immediately with overwhelming firepower. The men in the vehicles open fire on the surrounding wolves, but the creatures are relentless, leaping onto the vehicles and tearing into the soldiers. The guard grabs both the officer and the woman, warning them this place is lethally dangerous. Panicked, [music] he demands they activate the teleportation immediately to get them to safety. But just as they prepare for activation, a wolf lunges at the group. Miraculously, the bodyguard manages to teleport away, leaving two wolves to watch the scene unfold. Immediately after, a monstrous three-headed beast materializes right in front of the guard. He steals himself to face the creatures, boldly, declaring they'll soon feel the wrath of a level five esper. He then activates the nano cage teleportation as another man assists him while even more wolves close in. Realizing the nano cage's limited range, he quickly orders a teleport straight to the ancient city walls, sending them all away in a flash. Upon reaching their destination, a figure emerges from the shadows. I was waiting, he draws. You took longer than expected. The guard demands to know who's there, and everyone looks up at the armed man. The figure reveals himself as Nanzi Ying, much to the officer's absolute shock. Lin Yukai immediately questions him. Were you the beast tamer? Are you here to kill me? Nanzi Ying simply replies, "Bingo." [music] The officer immediately threatens him, but the young man just grins. "Oh, I totally believe you." He snears. [music] "It's just a shame you won't get that chance." Then he lunges at the bodyguard. Nanzying grabs the officer by the neck, who struggles to utter a single name. The bodyguard desperately tries to teleport, vowing to get him out of there. At that very moment, Nanziing activates his terrifying skill. Assura Dragon Hunter. He charges forward, directly colliding with the bodyguard's frantic energy. The man panics, realizing he can't use his teleportation. Are you a highlevel esper? He screams just before being utterly engulfed by Nanziing<unk>s destructive energy. His body crashes to the ground and he whimpers, begging for his life. Nanziing simply replies, "I'm sorry." Then, with a casual flick, he hurls Lin Yukai high into the air as the man screams, "You traitor!" The three-headed beast immediately charges towards the official, and the creatures descend upon him without an ounce of hesitation. Nanziing simply turns his back, bidding Lin Yukai a silent farewell. Meanwhile, at the super abilities research department, a woman leisurely relaxes in a bathtub, remarking on the incredibly powerful Esper aura emanating from Y City. Su Lang's eyes snap open. The strange sensations from days ago weren't an illusion. A truly supreme Esper has emerged in that very location. She immediately decides she needs to report this unprecedented event to the department. Nanziing declares the coast is clear, [music] telling everyone to come out of hiding. The wolves immediately swarm him, licking him relentlessly as he begs them to stop. One particularly stubborn beast ignores his please, persistent in its slobbery affection. Finally, he snaps, ordering them all to settle down and behave. He steps away from the ruined vehicles, muttering that there's nothing left to do about them. Turning to a specific wolf, he praises it for a job well done. He rewards it with a gentle pat on the head, then warns the others to hold their horses. With that, he announces a brand new mission for his loyal pack. There to head to the northern jungle and hunt down source stones for him. Nanzing stands before his entire pack, bathed in the glow of the full moon. Later, at the Yay City slaughterhouse, Nanziing meets with Jang Yuan. She reports that Lin Yukai and his crew ran into a beast tide yesterday and were completely wiped out. Naturally, she asks if he was behind it. He casually confirms, reminding her he did say he wanted some mutant wolves. Shocked, Jang Yuen wonders if he can also control beasts. Nanzi warns her that some secrets are best left unsaid. She then reveals she's already submitted the evidence against Lein Yukai and his assets will be confiscated soon. [music] A piece of good news Nanziing readily agrees with. Jang Yuan offers to buy him a celebratory drink, but he declines, citing the impending national crisis. not really in the mood, but he adds if she really wants to show her gratitude, there's another way. Intrigued, [music] she asks what he has in mind. Nanziing proposes transforming this very spot into Ya City's largest slaughter house. Jang Yuan agrees without hesitation, convinced the higher-ups will absolutely love the idea. With the slaughterhouse up and running, he muses, harvesting source stones from mutant animals will be a breeze. He also plans to capture the steel giant wolves and soon unleash millions of beast tides. Just two days later, Nanzying status updates. He's now a level seven beast tamer in the northern jungle. He dramatically declares that the fate of the world rests on his shoulders, and together they will defend the blue star. His rank immediately leaps to level eight beast tamer, having tamed a staggering half a million steel giant wolves in the northern jungle. Next, he finds himself in the White Bone Plains, encountering a massive group of yaks. After a quick scan, he identifies them as level six blazing steel yaks and prepares to assert his dominance. Nanzying activates his taming ability and charges headfirst into the herd. Once they're under his control, he commands them to guard the white bone plains and diligently collect source stones. Strict orders are given. No harming humans, no attacking cities, and await further instructions. His status updates once more. Still level eight beast tamer, but now with a grand total of 1 million tamed creatures, his control panel proudly displays his forces now strategically stationed across both the northern jungle and the white bone plains. In the treacherous rift canyon, Nanziing plots to use his remaining source stones to tame a group of level seven mutant monkeys. As he observes, he quickly realizes that level seven beasts possess a far more formidable aura than the wolves and yaks he's encountered so far. Suddenly, one of the monkeys lunges at him with lightning speed. Nanziing barely manages to defend himself from the ferocious assault. He quickly attempts to activate his taming ability on the primate. To his slight relief, he confirms the beasts are still within his taming range. Just then, the rest of the monkey troop swarms him, encircling him from every direction. A sudden, jarring sound rips through the air, forcing him to glance over his shoulder. A projectile shrieks directly towards him. He barely dodges it, weaving out of the way in the nick of time. The enraged monkey roars furiously, realizing Nanziing's taming attempt has failed. Nanzying declared he'd force these beasts into submission before he could even think about taming them. With a fierce roar of Assura Berserker, he charged, his attack shattering the very ground beneath him. Then, activating his beast taming ability at full power, he plunged head first into the dark abyss below. It suddenly dawned on Nanziing. That booming roar had been the exact reason his previous taming attempt failed. He realized he couldn't waste energy on these small fries. He had to take down the real boss pulling the strings. Just then, a powerful attack rained down from above towards the creatures. Nanziing materialized in its path, intercepting the blow with ease. Though he couldn't help but note the impressive, albeit mindless, power behind it. "Too bad all that strength isn't backed by an ounce of brains," he scoffed. [music] Suddenly, a new challenger emerged, striking one of the beasts with a powerful sideblow. A massive four-eyed creature watched the unfolding conflict with keen interest. Nanziing, impressed despite himself, conceded, "Not a bad move. I'll give you that." But he quickly added, "Still, you all are severely underestimating this new master." Without a moment's hesitation, he retaliated, slamming another beast against the cliff wall. "Enough hiding," he roared. "Show yourself." A gigantic creature shrouded in inky shadows finally materialized, its voice booming. "It's time for a change in leadership." Nanzying couldn't help but marvel at its sheer imposing size. "I'd be on my knees right now," he muttered if it weren't for my Acera ability keeping me upright under this insane pressure. He quickly deduced that this monkey king had to be at least level 9, maybe even higher. The colossal creature lunged forward with astonishing speed. One moment, Nanzi Ying was facing it, the [music] next he was inside its gaping m. "Seriously," he quipped. "You actually think you can just eat me?" he quickly promised. Well, I won't be an easy meal. Unleashing his Assura fury blade, he plunged it deep into the monster's interior, striking the Monkey King's chest directly. The force of the blow sent the gargantuan body reeling backward, launching it clear off the cliff face. It plummeted down, crashing violently against the ground below. Nanzing dusted himself off, a smirk playing on his lips. "Guess I really need to make it clear who the real boss of this place is, huh?" he mused. With that, he activated Assura Hell on Earth mode, unleashing his full devastating power. Meanwhile, elsewhere, a young girl rubbed her eyes, whining to her older sister. "Are you sure about what you felt? It's past 3:00 in the morning. I need my beauty sleep to grow, you know." Her sister, Su Lang, was unfazed. "That intense killing intent couldn't have been a mistake," she stated gravely. "Our superiors want Yes City closely monitored." She then glared at the girl. "And stop calling me older sister." The girl, undeterred, shot back. Fine then, auntie. Before their bickering could continue, Su Lang abruptly cut her off. Something's approaching. Get ready. We're tracking it down to the Fisher Canyon southwest of Ye City. Her partner immediately confirmed the order. With a focused gaze, Chen Kir began to activate her unique ability to track time and the very fabric of the universe. Her eyes glowed, transforming as the powerful technique enveloped her. At that exact moment, Nanzying unleashed his signature attack. Hell on Earth. He lunged at the monster, delivering a devastating full force blow that sent the creature hurtling backward from the sheer impact. Back at the agency, their tracking machine violently shuddered, nearly knocking Su Lang and Chener off their feet. Su Lang instinctively gripped Chenair, her voice urgent. "What did you see?" Still visibly shaken, the young girl stammered. "He's He's a terrifying Assura demon. Had enough fun yet?" Nanzing asks as the colossal ape stands before him, visibly drained. Still, he pushes. Get up. Fight me again. This time I won't go easy. In response, the creature slams its massive fist [music] into the ground with a thunderous roar. What a waste it would be to die like this. With so much fight left in you, Nanzying muses. The monkey then extends its own fist, stopping inches from his face, proposing he join its ranks to face the 10,000 races together. Nanzi Ying touches the extended fist, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and calls it a good boy. Moments later, he deactivates his Assura mode. Turning to his newly acquired army of a million monkeys, he issues his command. From this day forward, you are all to serve under the monkey king. Protect Rift Canyon and gather source stones. Absolutely no attacking cities. Await my further instructions. A notification screen instantly pops up detailing the newly tamed beasts and their territorial distribution. The scene shifts to the paranormal investigation and monitoring agency. Suang leans into Chenier. I felt another energy signature last night, but my tracking skills are still limited. She wonders aloud if those two immensely powerful signatures could possibly belong to the same person. Chenier dismisses the thought, reminding her of the mysterious families holding hidden positions in the Eastern Esper rankings. Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, she conceds. It's time to announce the rankings. A display screen flashes to life, revealing the rankings. In 10th place, a mysterious man in black appears, his Assura ability listed at an unknown level. The very next day, news explodes across the Eastern Alliance. A mysterious figure has secured the 10th spot in the rankings. Online, various users buzz about the new Eastern Assura Esper. Some comment, "I'd rather be an irrational killing machine than turn out like Nanziing." Back at the slaughterhouse, Shaolu hands Nanzi a cloth. Your phone won't stop ringing, boss. Nanzing checks it, reading the devastating news. The Mi Country, the Mad Country, and the Eighth Defense Line have all fallen. A breaking news report confirms the Eastern Alliance has activated its veteran recall policy, mobilizing for the fifth defense line. Nanzying<unk>s face hardens. This time, defeat is closing in even faster. The recall is happening much sooner than expected. His thoughts drift to his father, and just then, a message arrives. An invitation for dinner at home. Meanwhile, an older man, Nanzi<unk>s father, apologizes to a reporter. I've just finished cooking for my family. They're about to arrive. You're welcome to join us. The reporter declines, insisting she only needs a quick interview about the veteran recall. He agrees, preparing himself. "What were your thoughts when you signed up for the veteran recall?" She probes. [music] "It's my duty," his father states, unwavering. "There's no question about it." She then asks about his son's refusal to enlist. His father remains silent. Just then, a woman arrives, accompanied by two young adults. "I found Shiaoying and Shiaosan at the neighborhood entrance," she announces, then asks her husband, "and you giving an interview?" He gestures for them to sit, promising. I'll be right with you. His wife nods. He introduces his family to the reporter. It's rare for us to all gather like this. This is my wife, Chinu, a factory volunteer. Our daughter, Nanzishan, is an esper doctor, and our son, Nanzi Ying, works at the slaughterhouse, doing his part to support the front lines. As long as he stays true to his ethics, I support his choices. Nanzi Ying listens, head bowed, saying nothing. The reporter then turns her gaze to the young man. Mr. Nanzing, "What are your thoughts on the fall of the Eastern Alliance's eighth defense line?" "Stop pressuring him," his father interjects, his voice sharp. He continues, his voice cracking slightly. "I was originally assigned to the sixth defense line, but I volunteered for the seventh. My son's work, slaughtering mutant beasts, is an essential contribution to the war effort." Nanishan steps forward. "I just volunteered as a medical esper for the seventh defense line myself." Even his mother offers, "If that's not enough, I'll go in his place." The reporter, embarrassed, quickly apologizes and exits with her crew. Nanzying<unk>s hand tightens into a fist on the table. He looks up at his father. "Dad," he stands, his decision made. "I'll go with all of you." His mom asks where he's off to so late, but Nanzying quickly explains there's an unforeseen problem at the slaughter house. She presses, wondering if it can't wait until after dinner. Before he can reply, his father cuts in, telling her to let him go, reminding her that everyone has their own responsibilities. Without another word, Nanziing turns and leaves in silence. The scene shifts to the gloomy ancient sunken forests. [music] He races through the trees, telling himself there's still time tonight. With that goal in mind, he decides he'll tame the war elephants. The young man stops in a clearing and yells for whatever is hidden to show itself. A massive monstrous elephant emerges from the trees. Without hesitation, he lunges forward and delivers a deep gash to the creature's leg. Then, he leaps onto the beast's head, warning it that his time is limited and he has no time for games. Immediately after, he uses his skill to subdue the elephant mounted on the now tamed beast. He orders it to warn its comrades. Anyone who opposes will be executed. Another war elephant ambles through the dark forest. Soon, several more war elephants charge through the trees. The creatures visibly flinch with fear and retreat. Nanziing then relays his orders to the war elephants. He instructs them to protect the primeval sunken forests. Additionally, he commands them to gather source stones and await further instructions. A status screen pops up revealing he's reached beast tamer level 8 with 3 million creatures under his command. Another screen details troop deployment and his formation master status. Nanzing remarks that he's finally unlocked the formation tree. Given this, he decides to further accelerate his leveling and return to the slaughterhouse for more source stones. Back at Y City's slaughterhouse, he walks among the carcasses of the slaughtered beasts. With enough source stones to level up, he resolves to test out his new sword key formation. The creatures trapped in their cages begin to stir. With eyes closed, he summons a thousand blades by the power of heaven and earth. Countless energy blades begin to spin around him. Next, he activates the sword chief formation. The formation springs to life, creating an intense whirlwind of energy. Nanzing observes that a single level one formation is still far too weak. So, he decides to stack two sword chief formations totaling 2,000 blades. He realizes that with formations installed in each workshop, the place will practically run itself. In the second slaughter workshop, he activates [music] 2,000 bloodlust formations. An hour later, a status screen confirms his formation master system has been upgraded to level two. At daybreak, Nanzi Ying gazes at the sky, concluding it's time to bid everyone farewell and head to the front lines. Just then, Shiaoli arrives at the slaughter house, greeting Auntie Wong and Auntie Jang. They notice the open door, and one comments that he probably came back right after dinner. Auntie Wong blames the reporters for what happened. She explains she spent the entire night arguing with trolls in the news comments section. Her phone displays an article about Nanziing<unk>s father, followed by countless negative comments about him. Shao reacts, saying they've crossed the line while the other colleague expresses concern for their boss. Suddenly, Nanziing appears, startling all three of them. He remarks that he arrived at just the right time as he needs to hand over a few things to everyone. Shaolu stares at him, asking if he's really planning to do that thing she's thinking of. A senior figure approaches, handing Nanzi a letter from his father. The words jump off the page. His father and sister are already on their way to the battlefield, sharing the heavy burden of their family's honor and shame. His father knows Nanzying is planning something grand, reminding him he's never shied away from a challenge. Then comes the bombshell, the mysterious Assura on the leaderboard. That's Nanzying. His father advises him to stand firm, ignore the whispers, and look after his mother, who remains in the city. Nanzi finishes the letter signed with love and respect by Nan Shenhong. His colleagues quickly try to reassure him, insisting he shouldn't overdo it. His work is vital, and those supplies are crucial for the front lines. Auntie Wong even vows to personally silence anyone on the internet who dares badmouth him again. He thanks them all, states he's fine, and then announces he has something important to tell them. The construction of the fifth reserve defense line has been announced, and he intends to apply for the project's chief engineer position. He quickly reassures the group that this won't delay their current work at the slaughter house. A convoy of military vehicles rolls past a snow-covered statue on a desolate road. Among the crowd, Nanziing watches them pass, affirming to himself that his father's words are etched in his heart. He reflects that going to the battlefield now would change nothing. He'd just kill a few monsters and leave his mother unprotected. Worse, without Zenos providing source stones for his own enhancement, he'd ultimately be powerless to protect anyone. To truly win, he decides to pour all his efforts into the fifth defense line, humanity's last hope, vowing not to disappoint his father. Three days later, at the construction site, Chief Engineer Nan is showered with praise for his tireless work. Engineer Lee explains the defense line steel wall will stand 30 m tall, 50 m thick, and stretch for 300 km. Nanzi thanks his team, but quickly adds that the wall is just a facade. It won't be enough to stop the monsters. The real defense, he reveals, will come from formations. For that, he'll need a ton of source stones, of which he already has three and a half million. The uninhabited area between Yei City and the defense line proves to be the ideal spot to begin deploying these formations. So, he sets to work, installing 50,000 blazing flame formations across a single kilometer under the sun and moon. He then summons a giant elemental. Shortly after, he deploys 50,000 elemental sword chi formations and finally orders another 50,000 blazing flame formations stacked every kilometer. Nonzing continues stacking tens of thousands of elemental sword chi and blazing flame formations across the entire length. A status screen pops up revealing his formation master level has risen to three with 500,000 formations now deployed. He surveys the landscape ahead now 10 km covered in layers of level two formations. Seeing this, he decides to save his source stones for the second layer. These current formations should be enough to stall lower level Zenos. With that, he completes the first defensive layer around Yes City, totaling 1,250,000 stacked level two formations. The next day, engineer Lee rushes onto the construction site, clearly agitated, to report a problem. Breathless, he shoves his phone forward, showing news reports labeling the plan ineffective and stating the public is in an uproar. Nanzing calms him down, instructing construction to continue as planned. He'll present a new enhancement plan. He reveals the defense line is actually a decoy designed to lull the Zenos into a false sense of security before they hit the real formations. As he speaks, an idea sparks. How to make the defense line more practical beyond just deceiving the enemy. Suddenly, a brilliant idea strikes him. Nanzying snatches the clipboard from Engineer Lee's hands. Even without having unlocked the command rune element ability, he begins preparing the ground for its future deployment. He instructs the engineer to build two moes. A front one filled with water and a rear one brimming with crude oil. The plan? Electrify the wall in water when the Zenos arrive, then ignite the oil to burn them alive. Engineer Lee, utterly thrilled, declares he'll take this brilliant idea straight to City Hall. As the engineer scurries off, Nanzi Ying muses that once he unlocks the command rune element, this defense will get way more interesting. With recent kills and the beast tides [music] harvest, he now has enough source stones to level up, reaching level four. The cities of Juan, Q, and Gan now boast a 45 mile defense line, equipped with 375,000 level two formations. A status screen indicates his formation master level is now four, though the next upgrade is still a while away. Suddenly, Nanzying senses a familiar powerful Zenos aura. At the same time, he detects an equally intense human aura nearby. He looks down, concluding the situation isn't looking good at all. He realizes the Zenos are trying to assassinate one of their own. Deep in the mountains, hidden away, lies the Chu clan. Suddenly, a figure emerges from their secluded retreat, and the resulting explosion devastates the entire surrounding area. Patriarch Chu Chong Xang immediately questions why Shinghi left seclusion 2 years ahead of schedule. Chu Shinghi explains he sensed a powerful aura from the northwestern border, an aura that helped him advance his cultivation. The patriarch finds this strange as that region is known to be utterly devoid of spiritual energy. Yet Shinghi insists that's precisely why the phenomenon is so significant. Shinghi then announces his decision to personally visit the border despite his master's warnings about xenos scouts in the area. He leaps into the air, declaring that danger is inevitable in this apocalyptic era. Soon after, he departs, utilizing his domain flight, convinced the journey will be well worth it if he can get some guidance from the expert whose presence he felt. An hour later, he encounters impressive formations and concludes that great masters must be hidden in the northwest. Suddenly, he senses something approaching, a massive winged creature emerging in the night sky under the full moon. Then, a Zenos from slaughter unit 3518 attacks him by surprise. Chuing quickly dodges and counterattacks, launching a projectile at another smaller creature. But one of the Zenos charges again, making the snow-covered ground explode around him. At that instant, he [music] realizes each opponent is a member of an elite unit that has been observing him for some time. A decaying Zenos Colossus detects a level 10 Esper Prodigy and immediately receives the order to exterminate him. The mechanical creature charges forward to attack. Chuing immediately activates his domain control to counterattack. With the domain sword manifesto, he summons the blazing hell's azure spirit to strike his enemies, declaring that all who dare invade his territory will face his eternal wrath. Meanwhile, Nanziing reflects that changes in the timeline can directly affect prodigies. He remembers that in the previous timeline, their combined strength ensured eight more years of war. Now, acutely aware that the Zenos have sent assassins, he decides he won't allow them to fall prematurely. Chu Shinghi's energy blades strike the mechanical Zenos, but the decaying colossus blocks the attack with its own arm. He admits that facing two elite Zenos at the same time is rapidly draining his strength. Suddenly, both creatures attack simultaneously with full force. The impact of the collision hurls all three away, devastating the surrounding landscape. Chu [music] Singh is thrown back, barely managing to block part of the attack. He clutches a small creature, wondering if his fate is to meet his end in this desolate place. Still, [music] he refuses to accept this outcome, swearing he will take at least one of them down with him. Someone shouts a warning just as one of the Zenos charges forward again. A gigantic explosion erupts on the mountain side, and amidst the smoke, Nanziing emerges, supporting the wounded Chu Shingh, recognizing him as the powerful senior whose aura he had sensed. Chu Shinghi stares as Nanziing asks, "Can you still [music] fight? Even wounded," Shingh affirms he can. And Nanziing proposes a plan. "You face the Iron Slayer. I'll deal with the decaying colossus. Chooing agrees without hesitation and both charge together against the xenos. The colossus detects an esper of unknown level and immediately issues the order for extermination. Nanzying, however, calmly comments that the slayer arrived at the perfect time to test his formations. Next, he activates the level three twisted earth spike formation, trapping the creature. However, he quickly realizes that a single formation of that level isn't enough against this monstrous enemy. Faced with this, he decides to go all out, stacking 50,000 earth spike formations along with 50,000 freezing formations. Ice spikes violently erupt from the ground all around, and the Iron Slayer is directly hit by the freezing attack. A gigantic ice structure erupts from the ground, completely dominating the area, while Chu Shingh directly confronts the decaying colossus. Faced with the overwhelming power of these formations, he can only wonder just who is this man, and what after all could be his true purpose? A man observes the frozen creature, confidently declaring they've succeeded. Nanziing, however, instantly snaps a warning. Be careful. Don't let your guard down. True to his word, the creature suddenly breaks free and lunges at the man. Without a moment's hesitation, Nanziing unleashes an attack, activating his power and naming it Assura. The Berserker technique rips through the creature's body, tearing it [music] apart. His companion stares in shock, wondering if Nanziing is the legendary rank 10 esper Assura. Nanzi Ying stops before the fallen monster, then turns and apologizes to his companion for the delay. He approaches, telling the man not to move and touches his forehead. A 10-fold amplification formation appears, applying itself over the injured man. As his companion lies on the ground, Nanziing simply tells him to continue fighting. A system warning flashes. The human body cannot withstand more than 10 amplifications. it will result in death. Moments later, the man collapses and Nanzying cuts off the process. The creature is still stirring, making it too risky to continue in this state. Nanzying decides he has no other choice, then looks up, stunned by what he sees in the sky. Chu Singh activates his domain, then uses his sword manifestation to bind the creature. But then another figure shatters its icy prison and leaps into the air, appearing directly above Nanzi. Nanziing prepares a level four lightning barrage formation, overloading it 50,000fold. Then he commands the attack to exterminate the monster. The blast strikes the creature, revealing Nanzing<unk>s overwhelming combat power. Chuing Hi kneels in gratitude, declaring his clan forever indebted to Nanzing, but Nanzing merely tells him to rise. Chu Shingh then probes, questioning if the mysterious Esperasura is planning something monumental. Nanziing responds that the time isn't right. Shingghi deduces that by positioning these formations, Nanzying intends to transform this location into the ultimate battlefield against the Zenos. Following his line of thought, he asks if Nanzing surname begins with N. Chu Singhi explains it wasn't hard to figure out. The Assura class represents pure carnage, and the man mentioned in the news commands a slaughter house. He adds that the formations are close to the fifth line of defense, so he won't say anymore to avoid detection. He concludes that it's all just intuition and a hunch, asking not to be held responsible if he's wrong. Chuing admits he's been in reclusion for 10 years. Nanzying simply declares, "You [music] win." Shingi then offers to lead the Chu clan to the seventh line of defense, buying time for Nanzi<unk>s plan. Nanziing reflects on the existence of such extraordinarily intelligent people in the world. He thanks Shingi, but warns him the front lines are extremely dangerous and asks him to promise to survive. Chushing interrupts, assuring him he understands the situation and will protect everyone on the seventh line of defense. Nanziing remembers his father and younger sister, then asks to be taken to the clan, wanting to gift everyone his amplification formation. Along the way, Chu Shingi comments that his younger sister possesses teleportation abilities that could be extremely useful. News reports begin to flood in, announcing that Chu Shinghi, the Chu Clan's prodigy and a mysterious formation master, have rapidly ascended the Esper rankings. In the streets, people comment that these prodigies are flying directly into war, reaching the front lines long before the veterans. Chu Shingh leaves his younger sister Chu Tian in Nanzing<unk>s care. Nanzing observes how tiny she is, then questions if Shingh is actually asking him to be a babysitter. From a distance, two people watch, commenting that while one prodigy fights on the battlefield, the loser Nanzing is just playing with children. Chuen uses her power on a lollipop, shattering it into pieces. Moments later, a manhole cover is violently flung into the air. right in front of them. Someone screams that two ladies fell into the sewer and Nanzying immediately realizes who's responsible. He then wonders if this girl is really the Chu Tienne from the Esper rankings, confirming it's a level eight spatial ability. Nanzing greets her, realizing that with her help, he'll no longer need a disguise to use his necromancy. Meanwhile, he mentally braces himself for the challenges yet to come. His fourth ability, necromancy, finally awakens, demanding a million undead to evolve to the next level. A woman is stunned when she learns Nanziing plans to take over the work of 20 entire cities along the fifth defensive line. She immediately questions how he could possibly handle such an insane workload and the immense distances involved. Nanziing just tells her to relax and get the necessary authorization, which she assures him won't be a problem. He thanks her, bids farewell, and says he still has a lot on his plate. As the woman watches him leave, she wonders why he chose to work in the rear instead of pushing directly to the front lines. Moments later, Nanziing summons Chuen to join him, and she readily agrees. He praises her excellent work as she stands proudly beside her powerful summons. Nanziing announces that the invocation is about to begin and instructs Chu Ten to teleport them to the Chin Emperor's mausoleum. Chu Tien activates her teleportation ability without hesitation. However, they both instantly appear in a completely different, dangerous location, surrounded by hostile creatures. Nanzying immediately realizes this isn't the mausoleum at all. she's teleported them to the wrong place. He quickly deduces that her amplified teleportation has a strict 100 km range limit. Suddenly, a marker appears, indicating that this is now the only possible path to the mausoleum. Given their predicament, he quickly tells Chuen to find a safe spot. The girl vanishes in an instant, prompting Nanzing to remark that she's even smarter than her own brother. Next, Nanzing activates his powerful necromancy skill. He commands the ancient spirit of the great Chin dynasty to awaken. A massive wave of spiritual energy bursts forth from the ground. Moments later, a colossal ghostly figure materializes, [music] its voice booming as it demands to know who dares disturb its slumber. Nanziing takes in the imposing presence. Considering that perhaps a dialogue is possible, he implores the emperor to lend him his formidable army, but is immediately dismissed as an insolent child. The emperor scoffs, asking if Nanziing truly believes his legendary soldiers exist merely to be commanded by anyone. If he wishes for their service, he must first prove himself worthy. Nanziing unflinchingly accepts the challenge and immediately activates his terrifying Assura mode. The emperor scoffs at his display, boastfully, declaring that he himself unified six entire realms in his time. The two titans then clash in a devastating direct frontal assault. Nanzi declares that true worth can only be forged and revealed through battle. The emperor retorts, branding him an arrogant fool. Nanziing unleashes the powerful Assura technique, Dragon Hunter. The emperor swiftly counters, vowing to show Nanzi what a true dragon hunter looks like. He then summons his ultimate supreme power. He unleashes the devastating nine dragons destruction upon Nanziing. The young warrior fiercely counters, deploying the Assura technique, Demon Hunter. Recognizing the ancient spirit's overwhelming strength, Nanzi unleashes the absolute maximum power of Assura. Immediately afterward, he activates his terrifying ability, hell on earth. The Emperor dismisses the attack with a sneer, treating it as nothing more than a childish act. Nanzying simply challenges him with a single potent question. To the emperor's horror, Nanzing<unk>s technique begins to slowly consume his mighty dragon. The ancient spirit is utterly stunned, questioning how such a feat is even possible. Nanzing then kneels respectfully before the emperor, asking forgiveness from his majesty. But then in a swift move, he lunges forward and delivers a direct decisive strike. The emperor roars for him to stop, warning that he'll bring the entire mausoleum crashing down on them both. Nanzi Ying retracts his weapon, respectfully bowing and thanking his majesty. The ancient spirit, finally admitting defeat, conceds that it has been dormant for far too many years. But before he'll lend his legendary army, he demands the entire story be told to him first. The emperor hands Nanzing a tiger talisman, explaining that with it, he's bound to protect his descendants. Gripping the artifact, Nanzing summons the legendary warriors of Chin. He calls them to defend their homeland, and a colossal energy erupts from the ground, manifesting an entire army. The system screen flashes. 100 million soldiers invoked. Just then, the elemental forbidden spell skill tree finally unlocks, granting Nanzi Ying devastating elemental magic, whose power grows with every single level. The emperor warns him about Zenos assassins hunting two prodigies in opposite directions. Nanziing admits he can't save both alone. Faced with this impossible choice, the emperor calls upon Wongjian and Mong Tian. The two fantasmal generals appear, instantly ordered to crush the invaders. Nanziing then tells his majesty to head east while he'll handle the west, shouting for Chuen to join him. Meanwhile, elsewhere, puppet master Su Chang of the Sue clan finds himself surrounded by monstrous creatures. He laments his terrible timing as he questions the sudden surge of energy. He unleashes his collision of a 100 phantom skill, commanding the monsters to die, but is wounded in the process. Still not enough. Such changes, ins snaring one beast with his threads. He calmly tells his puppet not to worry, claiming the opponent is a friend who won't hurt her. However, the Zenos attacks without hesitation, brutally demonstrating that there's no mercy, even among its own kind. Seeing the true nature of his foe, he urges his puppet, "Fight. Show them what you're made of." The relentless onslaught continues, striking both Suchanga and his puppet. Another monster charges, and he barely dodges before a winged Zenos joins the fry. "A pack of rabid dogs!" Such Chang snars, defending himself against their savage blows. He decides if he's going down, he's taking every single alien bastard with him. A mysterious light then flares in his chest, making him wonder what it means. Just then, Emperor Chin Shuang materializes, offering aid on behalf of someone else, and is immediately recognized. The emperor urges him to finish the fight quickly. Such Chang thanks him, though completely bewildered by the situation. Chin Shu Huang then turns to the invaders, threatening his descendants and roars, "No mercy for them." His fantasmal warriors confirm their majesty's command, and the spiritual army charges, tearing into the Zeno's horde. In a desolate desert west of the Chin mausoleum, Chinying desperately tells his sister, Chin Sway, [music] to run at his signal, but she stubbornly refuses. He pleads with her to listen as they both stare down a monstrous horde. With no other choice, Chinying activates his plant invocation, summoning a mighty Lonewood behemoth before them. He screams for his sister to flee while there's still time, but one of the vile creatures smashes straight through his summoned beast. Chinyang binds the enemies with a tangle of vines only to be attacked from behind. The Zeno's beast prepares to charge his sister and in a primal roar, he screams, "How dare you touch my younger sister?" Enraged, [music] he unleashes a choking grip, attacking the monster with unbridled fury. Just then, his sister warns him of danger from above. And as an attack descends, she leaps forward, shielding her brother. Suddenly, Nanziing appears on the battlefield, immediately, commanding Chuen to teleport all the monsters 1 kilometer south. Instantly, [music] everyone reappears in the new location. Nanziing orders the siblings to stay still and silent. He then declares he will amplify their powers 10fold. Finally, he instructs them to handle half the monsters once the amplification is complete, while the other half will face the sheer destructive power of his forbidden spells. Nanzying unleashes a forbidden lightning spell, overcharging it a hundfold. The devastating attack obliterates the monsters and his system proudly announces a skill level up. Chinsuy immediately scolds him. You should have only taken out half and left the rest for us. Nanzying sheepishly apologizes, admitting he got a little carried away and didn't expect the spell to be that powerful. Chinying points out there are still a few enemies left. The brothers charge forward with a joint vine strike while Nanziing executes an infernal armlock. The vines swiftly coil around the remaining monsters, securing them tightly. Nanziing, having witnessed enough of their combat prowess, declares, "I've seen enough from you two. The last enemy is mine." He then prepares another forbidden spell. This time of the earth element, overcharging it 50 times, a colossal stone arm erupts from the ground. With a simple command to bury it, the earth rises and swallows the creature whole. Chuen observes the entire spectacle from a distance. Chinyang turns to his sister. "I thought of a name for that." She nods in agreement. He suggests flipping the heavens, but she counters with earth in chaos. They both realize their ideas aren't exactly in sync. Immediately after, the two siblings kneel, expressing their profound gratitude to Nanziing on behalf of the Chin clan for saving their lives. Nanziing wonders if all ancient clans bow down like this. The siblings in unison offer their very lives to their benefactor, swearing to obey any command without hesitation. Nanzying then asks, "Do you even know who I am?" Both admit they don't. Apologizing for not asking his name sooner. He muses that not every prodigy is as sharp as Chu Shinghi. Suddenly, the emperor's voice echoes, remarking that the young man's temperament matches his own, suggesting they could have been great friends. Such changes with the emperor, asking if this masked figure is the one the emperor spoke of. The spirit confirms it. Such changes his gratitude for being saved, acknowledging his massive debt to Nanzi. Nanziing then makes two requests. Take me to your clans and prepare everyone for a collective amplification boost. Such changing with the bewildered siblings asks, "Amplification? What's that?" Nanzying gives them a practical demonstration, applying a 10-fold amplification directly to Su Chang. As Such Chang reels from the effects, Nanziing prepares to reveal something more. Chinyanging asks what else their benefactor desires, but Nanzying hesitates, contemplating sending them to the front lines. He questions the morality of sending others to war while he remains in the rear. Ultimately, he simply tells them, "Just take good care of yourselves." Such changes, "You have trouble expressing yourself, don't you?" He presses further. "Why don't you ask for help? Do you see us as a burden? You're trying to play the lone hero in the shadows." Chinsu immediately scolds him for speaking to their benefactor that way. But Nanzying admits, "He's right." He then instructs them, "Lead your clans to the seventh defensive line and meet me at the fifth when this is all over. That's when I'll reveal my true face. The others accept his orders without hesitation. Nanziing then entrusts the 10 million Chinclan soldiers to the emperor, who understands immediately. Nanziing bows in gratitude to everyone, but they urge him to rise. The emperor then declares, "The blood of emperors runs through your veins, and your spirit shall never perish." News reports flood in. While some prodigies lead their clans to the defense lines, others are being systematically slaughtered. Across various regions, desperate groups of people are horrified to learn that humanity's future, the prodigies, [music] are being killed one by one. Nanzying realizes these talents are awakening earlier than they should. But he also understands he can't guarantee everyone's safety. He concludes he must strike at the heart of the problem. Trying to save every single person would be like trying to empty the ocean with a single bucket. Nanzying calls out to Chuen, announcing, "We're heading to the northern desert. There, I'll awaken the five great prodigies to draw out every last Xenos assassin. Finally, he declares his ultimate goal. I plan to capture them all in one fell swoop. Nanziing requests Chuten lead them to the nearby Han tombs. There, he cries out, demanding the great ancestors of the Han dynasty awaken, for the world needs them once more. He specifically summons Emperor Wu, General Weiqing, and General Huo Chubing, declaring that all who dare offend Han will face his unholy wrath. The system screen flashes, revealing a horrifying truth. Necromancy now controls 70 million Chin Dynasty soldiers and 20 million Han Dynasty soldiers. Nanzing wastes no time, ordering the 20 million Han warriors to surge across the northern desert and exterminate every last invader. Colossal energy erupts skyward as Nanzing announces the grand entrance of the five prodigies has finally arrived. Without hesitation, he decides to start with Assura, activating hell on Earth mode to its absolute maximum. Meanwhile, at the Paranormal Investigation and Monitoring Agency, sensors go wild, identifying the presence of the mysterious Assura. One agent gasps, realizing the detected energy is now countless times stronger than before, concluding he must have entered full-blown Berserk mode. Nanziing then commands his forces to form ranks, front, rear, and flanks. Suddenly, another powerful figure, a formation master emerges. He invokes the very power of heaven and earth to shatter the firmament and seal the ground. Simultaneously, he prepares an elemental sword chi, an earth spike formation, and a freezing formation. These intricate formations overlap a million times, expanding for a 100 miles before they are even deployed. Back at the agency, the agent detects another massive energy wave erupting from the same location. She wonders if this could be the work of the infamous formation master from the Esper rankings. Then, as if things weren't chaotic enough, Douan, another man, unleashes raw necromancy, calling forth the great spirits of the Han dynasty. The spectral figures of Emperor Wu, Weiqing, and Ho Kubing manifest, bellowing orders to annihilate the invaders for the glory of Han. One of the spiritual generals raises his voice, giving the final command to attack. Back at the monitoring center, an agent whirls around in shock, demanding to know what's happening. Her colleague explains that besides Assura and the formation master, there's now a necromancy prodigy active in the northern desert. The detected energy signature is stronger than anything ever recorded, shattering the conventional 10-le scale. The agent struggles to classify the sheer power they're witnessing. After a tense moment, she defines it. Divine level. Her colleague is utterly stunned, realizing there are three divine level espers in the same location. Without another word, they immediately decide to report to military command. Meanwhile, Nanzing overcharges a forbidden light element spell by a hundfold. An intense blinding brilliance engulfs the entire region, illuminating the city as if it were midday. A man outside blinks, wondering if dawn has already broken. Another person replies, "It's only 10 at night. Check the news if you want to understand that phenomenon. The news channels are buzzing, reporting on four mysterious divine level prodigies converging in the desert, sparking both amazement and desperate hope among the populace. At the front line of defense, a helicopter crew receives urgent orders to head immediately for the northwest border of the northern desert. An officer warns that the journey will take over an hour, but his superior barks back, demanding they get there as fast as humanly possible. Suddenly, a fifth prodigy unleashes his power. A beast tamer summons an impossible army. 500,000 steel wolves, 500,000 flaming steel yaks, a million monkeys, and a million war elephants. He then commands all these summoned creatures to gather, forming an unstoppable tide. News of a fifth divine level esper, a legendary beast tamer, spreads like wildfire. People everywhere begin connecting the impossible recent events, their minds reeling. At a pharmaceutical factory, Chenlani shows the breaking news to Susi Shan, who immediately recalls the man controlling a pack of wolves in the desert. Meanwhile, at the resource center, Jang Yuan reads the frantic headlines and instantly links everything to Nanziing. An intense light then erupts over the eastern sea, originating from the LanClan's estate. Hongland Chong Dong emerges from the waters, determined to meet a beast tamer of such formidable caliber. At the Zhua clan's estate, Zhu Yuan sees the mastery of elemental magic as a rare opportunity and resolves to head straight for the northern desert. Members of the Shang Tian, Huang, and Yu clans also mobilize, all converging on the same location. Soon after, the coup clan joins the surging movement of the other prodigies. Nanzing observes it all, realizing the immense commotion won't just draw in the invaders, but also every ambitious prodigy out there. With a sinister grin, he concludes that everything is finally in place. Now all that's left is to wait for the Xeno assassins to make their grand entrance. Meanwhile, Huang Schwen of the Hang Clan finds himself surrounded by assassins, refusing to die in such a desolate place. He defiantly challenges the filthy creatures, but they suddenly freeze. Hanguan is bewildered as his enemies simply turn tail and flee from him. Elsewhere in the desert, Zeno assassins are locked in brutal combat against countless monstrous creatures. A vast army churns under a suffocating cloud of dust. And then Nanziing finally arrives on the battlefield. "The tides of beasts are here," he declares before ordering his undead and summoned creatures to unleash a full-scale massacre. Nanziing unleashes an Assura rampage, carving through the shadowy creatures surrounding him. But his advance is suddenly halted by one of the automatons. In response, [music] he unleashes the Assura hell on Earth, obliterating the surrounding monsters. Meanwhile, a spirit creature finds itself completely surrounded and overwhelmed by the enemies. Nanziing realizes that both the tides of beasts and the undead spirits become far more formidable under this amplification boost. Even so, he notes that the beasts are still outmatched by the counterattacking Zenos. Likewise, the undead spirits advancing in organized formations are struggling. He concludes that while the battle is thrilling, continuing this way will lead to unnecessary losses. So, Nanziing orders the tides of beasts and undead spirits to follow his precise instructions, crushing the enemy from all sides. He directs the beasts to focus on the steel slayers and the trolls. At the same time, he commands the undead spirits to attack the poisonous ape men and decaying giants within the Zenos territory. He announces the activation of the overlapping formation. The technique activates, unleashing an immense pillar of energy. Then, that energy explodes, completely devastating the surrounding area. Nanziing turns to Chuen asking for her help with the next step. He requests that she immediately teleport him should any Zenos manage to break through the formation and advance towards the city walls. Suddenly, he senses something and twists his body sideways. [music] Tuten reacts instantly, teleporting him away. Nanziing appears in the air directly above one of the monsters. The creature looks up, staring right at him. He invokes a forbidden wind element spell. He then overloads the technique 50fold, creating a terrifying tornado of fire. The attack hits the troll dead on, completely disintegrating it. Nanziing celebrates the enemy's fall, telling Chuen, "Next time you can aim a little higher." The effort leaves him breathless for a few moments. Surrounded by even more enemies, he just shrugs, figuring he'll eventually get used to it. Soon after, he prepares to unleash another forbidden spell, a lightning element one, also overloaded 50fold. Nanzi Ying declares that the prodigies are almost here, and he needs to end this battle fast. Then he unleashes the forbidden spell known as the ascending earth pursuer. With a 500fold overload, the burial technique activates, trapping the monster between massive rocks. The rock creature witnessing this overwhelming power, questions what kind of technique this even is. Even Zhu Yuan, the prodigy of the Zhuj clan, wonders how someone could manipulate Earth to such an absurd degree. The scene leaves him completely baffled. A violent clash of powers erupts across the battlefield. Then Nanziing activates an amplification formation on the newcomers. Zuga Yuan writhes under the overwhelming impact of the amplification. Once the amplification was complete, Zhua Yuan asked to be teleported out and tried to get the senior's name, wanting to thank him personally. [music] As he was being teleported, Nanziing revealed he'd left a message for Zhu Yuan's group and the military in the North Gobi Desert. The payment for his help? Simple. Follow his instructions. Zu Yuan watched the spot where he vanished, concluding the man wasn't ready to reveal his identity just yet. [music] He decided to honor the request and head straight to the North Gobi Desert to check the message. A squadron of military helicopters soon approached a frozen mountainous region. DJ Jangs commanding officer questioned if they were even in the right place, demanding to know where the Prodigy and the Xenos assassins were. Suddenly, the surrounding rocks began to shift and float. Juju Juan emerged from the rubble, informing the commander that the formation prodigy had buried every single Xenos assassin. The commander immediately asked if he'd found the five mystical prodigies. Juga Yuan explained he'd only met the formation expert and couldn't even recognize him, adding that the man had vanished right after amplifying their abilities, leaving only a message. One of the younger soldiers pointed to a massive rock, claiming the five prodigy's message was carved there. The commander turned to the stone and ordered them to read what was written. As he read the content, his eyes widened. He barked orders. Photograph this immediately. Summon all high-ranking officers for an emergency meeting. From a distance, Nanzying lamented that it wasn't time to reveal himself yet. He mused that this was the only way to gain the military's full cooperation. Any retribution would be 10 times worse if they knew he'd acted unilaterally. Human nature, he knew, became unpredictable during wartime, and if his identity came to light now, all his efforts would have been for nothing. He then called Chu Tien, ordering them to return to the slaughterhouse. Now that everyone saw him as a coward, it would be difficult to associate him with the prodigies, making it the perfect disguise for a strategist who operates from the shadows. News alerts blared, reporting that prodigies Juga Yuan and Shuan Yuan Hong were leading their clan members to reinforce the seventh line of defense. During an emergency meeting, one of the leaders informed them that the message had been left by divine level prodigies and that everyone capable of reinforcing the seventh line of defense had already departed. The commander stood, declaring they were there to discuss the message specifically left for the military and requested everyone's opinion. Yuan Ruong, the leader of the Juan Yuan clan, immediately declared this wasn't just a message. It was a grand strategy. He interpreted source of the volcano as an artificial volcano, water of the sky as a colossal channel, and forest of steel as a metallic jungle. As for the sky burning stones, those must refer to a source stone stockpile massive enough to swallow the heavens themselves. General Fang Lin from the second line of defense observed the carvings and speculated the message was likely etched by the Assura Prodigy. General Lee Fay from the third line of defense agreed with the analysis but deemed it madness to stake the nation's fate on a message of unknown origin. At that moment, an older colleague requested to speak for a few moments. Juke Chingan, the leader of the Juke clan, argued that even if the Assura had left the message, the other prodigies were present. He continued, explaining that the messages demands clearly pointed towards large-scale formations and that the prodigies must have excellent reasons for remaining hidden. Dwan Yuan Rulong, visibly animated, rose and declared, "If there was ever a time to bet everything, it's now. When we stand on the brink of collapse," the commander then declared that the five divine level prodigies had eradicated thousands of alien assassins in under an hour. Their destinies, he affirmed, were now irrevocably intertwined. With renewed determination, he declared they would proceed with the plan. An official announcement declared the nation would embark on four monumental projects. A move that to the general population sounded like absolute suicide. Observing the commencement of the works, Nanzing praised the swift decision [music] and congratulated them for making the right gamble. He added that since they'd placed their faith in him, he wouldn't disappoint them. Engineer Lee approached, commenting that the projects bore a striking resemblance to what Chief Engineer Nan had been developing. Just then, one of the workers pointed to a monitor, asking what that massive vortex in the sky was. The engineer turned, alarmed and reported it was coming from the seventh line of defense. Nanziing reacted instantly to the news. He recognized it. The Zenos's vacuum portal opened 2 years earlier than anticipated. Memories of his father and sister flooded back. Knowing the front lines would be overwhelmed, he realized he needed to find a way to reinforce them fast. He then summoned 20 million Han Dynasty warriors, ordering them to advance toward the seventh line of defense. Next, he called for 3 million beast tides to answer his command. Finally, he turned to Chu Tien, asking if there was any way to teleport them along with the beast tides [music] directly to the front lines. Chuen strained with all her might to initiate the teleportation. Blood dripping from her mouth from the sheer intensity. An unknown force pushed down on her, causing her to cough up even more blood. Nanzi Ying gripped her shoulders, calling her name and alarm. He warned her they were over a thousand km from the defense line and that she shouldn't force herself if she couldn't manage it. The girl leaned on him for a brief moment. Chu Tien straightened up, her eyes blazing with absolute conviction. I can do this, she declared. On the battlefield of the seventh defense line, a dimensional rift tears open and an urgent alert blar, [music] ordering all units to prepare for combat. Commander Wong Lelay immediately commands the prodigies to spearhead the assault, demanding everyone hold the line, even if it costs them their lives. A soldier grumbles to his comrade, Nan Shan Shong. Ammo's almost gone. Does it even make sense to keep fighting like this? Nan Shan Shong instantly rebukes him. Look at the prodigies below. He reminds him of their last near defeat when the prodigies manifested an army of 10 million undead spirits and snatched an impossible victory from the jaws of despair. The soldier admits he doesn't fear death, but rather the crushing hopelessness of an endless war. He points out that even the prodigies are just flesh and blood. They tire, bleed, and can die, too. They both watch the young warriors on the battlefield, mourning the children lost to this brutal [music] place. Nan Shen Shong then firmly places a hand on his comrade's shoulder. That's precisely why we give it our all. We'll cover them with every last bullet, every last breath, and die for them if we must. The other soldier, renewed with conviction, nods sharply. At that very moment, Wong Llay bellows the order. Attack! One of the young Chin Army warriors charges forward, rallying his comrades to paint the battlefield crimson with enemy blood. Another prodigy unleashes his sword domain, striking the ground with a devastating impact. He then summons a barrage of piercing blades, raining down upon the monsters. The ethereal blades surge forward, annihilating everything in their path. Mounted on his spirit beast, one warrior taunts the enemy. Come on then, rise. Let's fight till the bitter end. An elder warrior unleashes his assault, declaring, "The might of great Chin shall not be defiled." Immediately after, another prodigy conjures hell's grip, ins snaring the foes in metallic vines. Shuingi [music] spots the adversaries in the distance and barks, "Troops! Open fire. Artillery unleashes a relentless volley onto the designated targets. The assault slams into the enemy army, triggering a cataclysmic explosion. Nan Shen Shong continues to roar fire orders, demanding the soldiers hold the line against the relentless new wave of enemies. The battle rages on the city walls with hales of projectiles tearing through the air from every direction. Commander Wong Llay's gaze snaps up. What kind of Zeno is that? He wonders, [music] having never witnessed such a creature. A gigantic chained monstrosity slams down onto the battlefield, crushing the surrounding spirit creatures. One warrior recoils in shock at the creature's immense size, as vast as the city walls themselves. The colossal beast then unleashes a massive beam directly from its gaping m. Meanwhile, another warrior deftly wields his powers, pulling and ens snaring multiple monsters simultaneously. The spirit of Chini Huang commands Baichi to protect Su Chenge, [music] and Baichi immediately affirms. Su Chang is thrown back by the impact, but assures everyone he's fine, urging them to aid his majesty instead. Chin Sher Huang then rallies all soldiers to fight by his side and bring down the monstrous creature. The giant monster retaliates with a massive blow, slamming directly into the spirit warriors. The impact strikes them full force, sending ripples of raw energy across the battlefield. With that, the spirits merge, forming a single colossal warrior. Wang Lelay orders the Esper Corps to contain the remaining enemy forces while the infantry pushes forward against the smaller aliens. From a top the walls, the soldiers swiftly respond to his command. Next, [music] the commander rallies all prodigies to join him in capturing the enemy leader. 200 km from the seventh defense line, a colossal pillar of energy descends from the heavens. The force slams into the ground, a massive explosion erupting amidst the monster army. Nanziing turns to Chuian asking if she can still go on. Chuian affirms, "Only 200 km left. My brother is there." Such Chang requests that Chin Shuang lead the undead army to hold back the other aliens, leaving the giant monster to them. The emperor's spirit agrees, commanding his spectral warriors to follow. Su Chang then leaps into the fray, declaring it's his time to shine. Wielding his power, he seizes control of several Zenos, forcing them to grapple onto the giant monster's head for a critical 50 seconds. Meanwhile, one of the prodigies expands his domain, manifesting a colossal sword. The massive attack slams into the battlefield, unleashing pure devastation. Another warrior unleashes metallic alloy vines, blocking the Zenos advance, while a warrior s encircles them with Banyan's strangling hold. Next, a warrior lunges forward, attacking with blazing killin flames. The inferno engulfs the colossal creature, making it burn intensely. Wonglay declares that while the monster is powerful, it's no match for the combined might of five espers. The giant creature is then slammed by a colossal sword, but it roars, retaliating with its own monstrous weapon. Wonglay screams, warning them not to get distracted, urging them to keep up the assault. The monster looms over them as the warriors brace for the next devastating blow. The creature spins its weapon, creating a terrifying vortex of blades. The deadly vortex surges forward, obliterating everything in its path. Just then, a helicopter screams into view. A voice booms over the comms, telling everyone to get clear, announcing the creature will be blown to Kingdom Come. Chu Shinghi looks up, recognizing the voice instantly. Senior Nan Shan Xiang. 3 minutes earlier, Nan Shan had ordered Lao Jang to man the artillery while he made his move. He'd explained that this wasn't just any alien. They needed to be ready with a mini warhead in case the prodigies failed. There was no other choice. He'd stressed if the prodigies fell, humanity would fall with them. Lao Jang, grim-faced, had agreed. Back in the present, Nan Shan Shong pilots the helicopter, confronting the giant aberration headon. On the ground, Chu Shinghi screams desperately for him to stop. Simultaneously, Wanglay orders everyone to focus their group control powers. His sacrifice wouldn't be in vain. Inside the helicopter, Nan Shan Shong reflects that the weight of this war now rests squarely on the shoulders of the young. He offers a silent farewell, reaching for the detonation button. Suddenly, a forbidden wood element spell is conjured, materializing a massive wooden dragon. Nanziing commands the dragon to snatch the helicopter away. The creature carefully places the vehicle down, a calm voice cutting through the chaos. Nan Shen Shong is stunned within the cockpit. [music] The instant the helicopter lands, he recognizes his own son's voice. The remaining warriors react to the sudden arrival of their savior. Nanziing tells Chu Shinghi to look after Chuchian, then orders him to cut off all satellite communications. Wong Lelay immediately questions the order, but Chuing Hay reassures him. You'll understand soon enough. Back at the command center, an officer reports complete loss of contact with the seventh line of defense. Dispatching a recon team immediately, the commander fears the prodigies are in grave danger. Convinced the defense line fell far too quickly, Nanzing moves against the monster in an almost imperceptible blur, then unleashes his full power in a single devastating surge. The warriors watch, stunned into absolute silence. His attack collides violently with the giant monster's weapon. Nanzying reveals himself, identifying the enemy as a rank of bloodline xenolade titan. He stares it down, remarking that it's been far too long since their last encounter. Wong Llay wonders if this could be the mysterious Assura everyone talks about. His companion quickly dismisses the idea, pointing out the forbidden magic he just unleashed. The commander then questions if it isn't one of those rare dual class espers, but the other warrior replies that what they're witnessing is on a completely different level. Confused, Wonglay asks for clarification, then turns his full attention to the unfolding chaos on the battlefield. A spirit warrior charges into the enemy ranks. The raw energy unleashed by the generals sweeps away and annihilates the surrounding monsters. Wong lay reels from the overwhelming might manifesting before his eyes. As he watches a single warrior laying waste to the battlefield alone, he finally grasps the true meaning of his companion's words. One of the generals roars for the Han Dynasty army to charge alongside him. At the same time, the spirit of Chin Shir Huang bellows, rallying the Chin Dynasty army to fight and not be outmatched. Nanziing leaps into the air, instructing all soldiers and prodigies to seize the chance to fall back and recover. Chu Singh concurs with the retreat, affirming he's got this situation handled. The giant creature retaliates with a colossal blow. Nanzying braces for the massive assault. The impact slams into him full force, sending him hurtling backward. He announces the activation of Assura Berserker mode. Then he charges, unleashing a brutal barrage of blows against the gargantuan monster. Assura's dragon and demon hunting techniques are executed in rapid succession. Finally, he unleashes Assura hell on Earth. The Blade Titan seems obliterated, and one of the warriors comments that they barely scratched it before. Yet, he realizes that despite its power, the creature shouldn't have been defeated so easily. Parts of the monster begin regrouping around Nanziing, and someone shouts that it's morphing. The creature takes on a horrifying spherical form covered in countless eyes. One of the onlookers, alarmed, questions, "What the hell is that?" Nanziing calmly states that now that its final form is revealed, its weak spot will be far easier to pinpoint. Suddenly, he spins around as a gigantic blade cleaves down towards him. In the distance, Nan Shan Chong screams a warning to watch out. A swirling vortex of wind begins to form on the spot. Nanziing prepares a 50-fold overloaded forbidden wind spell, invoking a colossal tornado. The tornado surges forward, slamming head-on into the monster's blade. Without a moment's hesitation, he prepares another 50-fold overloaded forbidden lightning spell. Assura's demonic blade materializes around the creature. With a single strike, he cleaves the monster in two. The creature's core makes a desperate attempt to flee. Nanzying intercepts its escape, asking, "Where do you think you're going?" He then prepares yet another forbidden spell, this time of the wood element, and executes the Assura technique once more. Hell on Earth is unleashed directly onto its core. The remaining warriors gaze in utter disbelief as the creature is completely annihilated. Nan Shan Chong simply concludes that his son is truly terrifying. He then commands the spirits and beasts to advance in a wide circle, clearing a path so he can deploy intricate formations. Nanziing begins by implanting 1 and a half million elemental sword key formations. These formations spread out across a 30 km radius. Soon after, he orders the [music] tides of beasts to tighten the encirclement even further. Next, he implants another one and a half million formations of earth spikes, ice barges, and lightning walls. Nanziing then summons a forbidden earth spell, causing the ground to violently rupture and heave. From the primordial chaos between heaven and earth, he declares, "The ancients shall rise once more." He follows by activating an amplification formation that encompasses 3 million undead within a 300 km radius. "The spirit warriors absorb the formation's immense power. [music] Empowered by this newfound energy, they surge forward to unleash the full might of Yan and Huang. The status screen flashes. Formation master level five. Nanzi Ying comments, "Perfect timing." [music] He then prepares to activate 3 million colossal beast slaying formations. However, as he analyzes the situation, he realizes he doesn't possess enough source stones. Faced with this, he can't help but wonder if he had in the end rushed things a little too much. Nanzying decides it's best to conserve their available resources. With that in mind, he announces a single target amplification formation designed for the 3 million strong beast tides. The formation blazes to life in the sky, and creatures on the battlefield begin to transform under its incredible power. With 6 million source stones remaining, he realizes he has enough to arm formations all along the city wall. Nanziing then prepares his ultimate ace in the hole. He activates an amplification formation 50 times more powerful, stretching it 30 km along the wall. Soldiers positioned there feel the raw energy surge through them, exclaiming that their benefactor has unleashed unbelievably powerful formations. Watching from afar, Chuingh remarks that Nanziing left a decisive trump card for the seventh defense line. finally understanding who he truly is. He reflects on the irony of humanity, hoping for a god to save them, yet feeling the urge to destroy one when it finally appears. One of his companions explains that Nanziing held nothing back precisely because he trusted them on the front lines, asking them to leave the fighting to him. Chuing warns that there are still 3 hours until dawn and that time should be used for rest and recovery. Even without any more source stones, Nanziing declares he still has enough strength left. He vows that even if he must become an Assura, he will exterminate these aliens. Then he charges into the enemies in his Assura Berserker form. Chu Chong Chong watches the battle, expressing immense pride in him. Chu Shingi agrees, remembering his own life being saved, but questions if calling him a kid isn't a bit much, considering he's a true prodigy. [music] His father asks what else he should call him, then dismisses the question with a hearty laugh. A voice informs them that the patient is merely exhausted, her life not in danger. In the hospital room, Nan Zeon tells Chu Shinghi not to worry and to rest, reminding him he's been awake for two days straight. He replies that he knows and states he's glad his brother isn't wasting time and energy on things like this, for ultimately it's because they are still too weak. [music] Nan Zeon starts to quote a proverb, but cuts herself off, advising him to do whatever he thinks is best. She then bids him farewell, stating she'll take care of the other wounded, and receives permission to leave. Before leaving, she declares her belief that deep down, Nanziing is grateful to him. Chu Shingh merely watches her depart, confirming that he knows. Chuchian finally awakens and calls out for her brother, who emotionally celebrates her return to consciousness. She asks how long she was unconscious and how the battle is going, showing concern for his need for source stones for his abilities. The mention of source stones leaves Chu Shingh lost in thought. He then asks his sister to wait there, promising to return shortly. Outside, the battle rages on with Nanzi Ying clashing against the creatures on the city wall. He comments with a hint of relief that the wave of enemies is almost over after fighting all night long. Then Chuingi appears, announcing that Tiener is awake and they can leave now. He praises Nanziing<unk>ing's arrangements, yet asks him to return to his own battlefield, for that is where humanity's future lies. Nanzying promises to buy as much time as possible and vows that everyone will stay alive until they can reunite. Chusing remarks on how meticulous he is [music] to which Nanzing calmly replies that he does it with pleasure if it brings people peace of mind. Chuing then thanks him as Nanzing explains that an old soldier asked him to relay a message. The message [music] from Chuch Chong Chong says they'll meet again after the war so he can cook for the rascal. Chuing Hi then hands him a small card. Nanziing looks at the drawing of Nanzan on the card accompanied by the word respect [music] and calls her a cheeky girl. The scene shifts to a building identified as the slaughter house. A panel inside displays 60 million source stones still remaining. Nanzying realizes that relying solely on formations is too slow. He needs to tame the next beast tide. [music] He understands that the undead spirits on the front line need replenishment as the sixth defense line has become useless and the seventh won't hold out much longer. In a corridor, [music] two people discuss the seventh line signal which was lost and then returned now showing dead aliens everywhere. One suggests the place might be haunted, but the other corrects him, calling it a divine haunting since only the aliens were affected. One of the staff comments that on top of that, many plants in the northwest have mutated. Even the roadside grass has become lush and razor sharp. Other workers agree, claiming they feel as if something has awakened and they now possess infinite energy to work. Nanzing concludes that with every portal opened by the aliens, Earth's spiritual energy increases, accelerating the planet's awakening. His colleagues advise him to take care, but he reassures them not to worry as he's heading home for some rest now. Next, he takes Chuen to Meteor Valley, announcing it's time to tame a group of level seven mutant giant eagles. A storm of eagles erupts in the valley and a soldier warns of an approaching flock of beasts. The men are attacked and one orders a retreat, stating they won't be able to defend the valley. One of the giant eagles plunges towards the soldiers. A man charges forward, unleashing his grand [music] floodfist against the creature, but the attack proves useless. He wonders how a level five esper can't even scratch it. Trapped in the eagle's talons, the soldier screams for help, begging anyone nearby. A comrade barks at the others, accusing them of cowardice for abandoning their friend. The monstrous creature prepares to strike at the captured man, who can only wonder what kind of beast this truly is. Just then, Nanziing and Chuen leap onto the giant eagle, and Nanziing begins the process of taming the massive beast. The steel giant eagle is ordered to guard the valley, collect source stones, and most importantly, not attack cities or humans. A status screen flashes, displaying Nanzing's beast tamer level [music] and the experience needed for the next. He realizes another one of his skills is finally nearing its maximum. The soldier recognizes him as the legendary divine level beast tamer, and almost forgetting the man's predicament, Nanziing orders the eagle to release him. The man is immediately dropped to the ground, but the eagle in its infinite wisdom grabs him again and launches him high into the air. Nanziing shouts, calling it stupid, demanding to know where his brother is. Furious, he smacks the creature on the head, ordering it to hurry and save the man. The eagle snatches him out of the air, and Nanzing asks if his injuries are severe. The grateful man introduces himself as Huang Jia, explaining his companions fled when Nanziing first questioned why he was alone. Huang Jia reveals he was sent by the Huang clan from the inner territories to explore and claim the spiritual mountains. He continues explaining that prodigies from various powerful families are rushing northwest, all aiming to stake their claim on these mountains for cultivation. Nanzing realizes the energy surge is due to portals and he plans to use these very mountains to facilitate the ascension of a million people in the northwest. He then instructs Hanga to warn the Huang clan. These mountains are his and no one else is permitted to claim them. Nanzi Ying reinforces the threat. It doesn't matter which clan a prodigy belongs to. Anyone who disobys will be ruthlessly killed. With that, he tosses Hangja down the mountain who readily agrees to deliver the message. A sound from the mountains catches his attention. Could it be Hangja's companions? He orders the giant eagle to accompany him and investigate the source of the noise. As they approach, he spots a mutated venomous lizard below. Nanzi Ying grins, deeming the situation perfect to tame another tide of beasts. With the Xenos having their behemoths, he'll now have these venomous lizards to balance the odds in battle. A status screen confirms he's tamed 10 million steel giant eagles and 10 million mutated venomous lizards. The lizards are commanded to protect Meteor Valley, gather sore stones, and await further instructions, strictly without attacking cities or humans. Nanziing notes that everyone else here is dead, dismissing them as disloyal cowards who wouldn't have been much help anyway. Next, he calls Chuen to follow him to the Tang Dynasty tombs, [music] and she readily agrees. Nanziing invokes the emperors and generals of the Tang Dynasty, an empire that once shook the world, to rise and together expel their enemies. The spirit of Liuan, the founding emperor, answers the call. Then, Liein of the Jenuan era, followed by the reigning Empress Wu Zetion, materialize. With them, he summons the spirits of warriors who served the dynasty over the last 300 years, commanding them to awaken. Nanzi Ying declares that even though the flying general of Dragon City is gone, no enemy will set foot on his land. His necromancy skill skyrockets to level six, bringing millions of soldiers from the Chin Han and Tang dynasties under his absolute command. He proposes that the majesties divide their forces across the three great mountain ranges, and the spirits readily agree to the strategy. Nanziing advises them to try dialogue first if anyone stands in their way, but stresses they must always be ready for war. [music] Meanwhile, Hongclan prodigy Hang Xi Yao scoffs at the idea, declaring that spiritual mountains belong to whoever claims them first. Hanga attempts to warn his young master, reminding him that Nanziing is a divine level beast tamer and that retreating would be the safest option. But Hang Xiao dismisses the warning with disdain, proudly announcing himself as a level 10 lightning prodigy who fears [music] nothing. He then positions himself on Tang Moda Mountain, the ideal cultivation spot where the three great mountain ranges converge. Wong Xiao boldly declares that other clans have already recognized his claim, and if that beast tamer dares show his face, he'll make sure he never returns. Suddenly, Nanziing appears, repeating the challenge. You'll make sure I never return. Wong Xiao glares, asking if he's the cowardly beast tamer everyone's been whispering about. Hongja tries to explain that he had already delivered the message earlier. The young master grabs him, accusing him of dishonoring the Huang clan and orders him to get out of his sight. Nanzing then comments dryly that Hangja clearly has more brains than his master. Finally, he questions Huang Xiao one last time, asking if he truly intends to ignore the greater good for selfish gain by claiming this mountain. Huang Xiao boasts, declaring he's no ordinary prodigy, but someone who's already reached the half-s sovereign king realm. He then offers Nanzing a chance to survive, but only if he retreats immediately. Xiao claims every beast on this mountain has either bowed before him or fled with their tails tucked between their legs. Nanziing warns him, "Keep being stubborn and don't blame me for what happens next." Sensing the power emanating from Nanziing, Hang Xao is stunned, questioning how a mere beast tamer could wield lightning. Nanziing simply declares the conversation has gone on too long and unleashes his lightning blade. "Young master, watch out!" Huang Ja screams. However, Hang Xiao yanks him forward, using his own loyal servant as a human shield to block the attack. Nanziing glares, questioning in a cold voice what kind of despicable prodigy he is, worse than any animal. Wang Xiao merely scoffs, declaring that servants are nothing but pawns, sacrifices meant to shield him. Enraged by such callousness, Nanziing decides to show him what true lightning looks like. Beginning to prepare a celestial strike, [music] the prodigy provokes him, asking if he's scared and about to beg for his life. Warning that it's already too late. Nanziing retorts that he won't even use his blade so as not to be accused of bullying, but promises to teach that arrogant scum a harsh lesson. He swears to make Xiao taste his own venom. Huang Xiao boldly proclaims himself the embodiment of lightning, claiming his opponent's tricks mean nothing to him. Though a flicker of doubt betrays his voice, in that instant, Nanziing prepares a forbidden lightning element spell and activates it at maximum potency. Hango is utterly shocked, realizing he's facing forbidden magic. The attack strikes him headon, and he screams, "That's impossible." Nanzing warns him that now he'll learn what it means to be on the receiving end. He then slams Xiao to the ground, asserting that Hang Xiao is nothing compared to his level two power. Suddenly, a new voice announces itself as Huang Jutian, the patriarch of the Hang family. The patriarch demands to know who dares cause trouble on his mountains, while Nanzing internally wonders if the Hang family truly wishes to be exterminated. As more clan members arrive, Wongjudian reprimands his prodigy, saying the situation should have been a blessing. One of the men questions why their young master was harmed. However, the patriarch wisely deduces that his own son must have claimed the mountain first and refused to yield. He states that the Hang family has always been reasonable and allows Nanzi to speak first, reserving the right to kill him if he's in the wrong. Nanzi commends the patriarch's stance and agrees to explain everything clearly. He then reveals himself as one of the five god tier prodigies of the Northwest, the forbidden spellcaster. The onlookers immediately recognize him from the news about the prodigies who eradicated the xeno assassins. Nanzi Ying explains that to ensure humanity's survival, all spiritual mountains must be surrendered to the grand plan, and the prodigy had already been duly warned. The patriarch agrees, admitting that Xiao was indeed in the wrong. However, Ziao's father erupts in fury, accusing the patriarch of cowardice and swearing to avenge his son, even if it costs him his own life. The patriarch severely reprimands him for such insolence. He then attacks, blaming the man for spoiling Xiao and for all the reckless actions that led to this outcome. As some try to protest, the patriarch silences them, questioning if they truly comprehend what's at stake for humanity, and reminding everyone of their true purpose. He quickly apologizes to Nanzi Ying, affirming that his family made a mistake and will retreat, an act of righteousness that earns him praise. The patriarch then orders the man to be tied up and taken for punishment, while Nanziing promises to strengthen the Huang family when they join the battle. On Dragon Mountain, spirits announce that the five prodigies have decreed the mountain cannot be privately claimed. On Hua Mountain, the warning is direct. Those who ignore the greater good and refuse to listen will be mercilessly slain. Meanwhile, on Kun Mountain, spirits observe an ancient monument, commenting that their descendants prove wise and just. At the peak of Tang Moda Mountain, Nanzi Ying declares, "It's time to begin." He then activates the level six undead spirit resonance. Energy spreads rapidly as verses about the emperor's wind and victory echo through the mountains. The song continues, narrating the passage of the mighty Chin and the purification of the Yellow River. Soon after, the power of heaven sweeps through Jade Gate Pass as the spirits maintain their uninterrupted chant. The emperor's wind blows across the four seas. And for a thousand years of virtue, the waters flow brightly, reaching even a distant hospital. In a hospital bed, a man wonders where this triumphant march of Wang Chin comes from, feeling a sudden surge of power coarse through his body. At the rear defense line, a soldier questions if he's awakened some kind of superpower, while another effortlessly carries steel beams as if they were toys. In another room, a group of people confirm that it's real, and they've all awakened new abilities. One man feels strong enough to lift an alloy blade and hunt mutant birds, while his companion confirms he's also become more powerful. Even an older gentleman lifts a pile of rocks and proudly declares that he's finally become a little useful. A man is celebrating wildly in the streets, hailing the news of 8 million awakenings as a divine blessing. Everyone has the power to join the fifth line of defense. Another citizen chimes in, noting that even without enlisting, overall productivity will skyrocket. Meanwhile, the news flashes a grim warning about dangerous mutations spreading through the primeval woods. Chuen turns to Nanziing, asking if he orchestrated this mutation. Nanziing denies it, explaining that the cause lies with the Zenos's dimensional rifts, stressing the urgent need for action. With that, Nanziing decides to personally investigate the massive changes in the primeval woods. Chutian readily agrees, already preparing for their teleportation. Upon arrival, they discover the trees haven't just mutated, they're moving, marching menacingly towards the city. A wood elementalist named Lee Lee, refusing to retreat before understanding the trees combat strength and tactics, prepares to strike. He unleashes a volley of vines to ensnare the creature's roots. But his attack proves utterly useless against one of the gigantic trees. Realizing the futility, he understands he can't control these new life forms. The creatures reveal not only their own consciousness, but also coordination, moving to encircle the group. Leeli screams for everyone to prepare for the imminent assault and unleash their full power. He then dubs the enemy the forest legion and orders them to advance. The group's attack proves useless. One man realizes these trees are level seven or eight, impossible to stop with their current resources. Still, Leeli insists they must at least send word back. On the verge of being crushed, one man wonders if this is truly the end. Just then, Lei and his companions notice the trees aren't attacking them. Confused, he watches as one of the creatures actually bows before them. Nanzying then commands the Ironwood behemoths to defend the woods, and the creatures immediately obey. With this, his beast tammer skill hits level 10, totaling a 100 million tamed beasts. He unlocks a new ability called Aura of the King, capable of subjugating beasts with the very aura of the beast god. The ancestral awakening ability is also unleashed, allowing him to summon the progenitor of a beast tide. On top of that, he gains access to the forbidden spell, storm of life, which manifests from the convergence of both land and sea beast tides. With his abilities nearing their peak, Nanziing plans to tame marine beasts and finalize the formations for the fifth line of defense. Just then, Chuin rushes over, terrified to see him collapse to the ground. She quickly catches him and teleports them both back to the slaughterhouse dormatory. Nanzying awakens disoriented in his room as Chu Tian explains he'd lost consciousness back in the primeval woods. Irritated, he grumbles about being unconscious for an entire day. She calms him, reminding him he'd barely slept with everything he'd been doing. Chutian emphasizes that no matter how strong he is, he's still human. Nanziing silently agrees, reflecting that humanity in the end is still too weak. She asks if he ever gets tired of carrying the world's weight, feeling useless for not being able to help him. Nanzing apologizes for worrying her and reassures her, explaining he's not alone. Millions of people stand by his side. He then asserts that she's helped him more than she realizes, and he never would have gotten this far without her support. Chuen decides to stop worrying and offers to take him to the fifth line of defense. At the defensive line, 10 million flame and elemental sword formations stretch for 200 km. She asks if all the source stones she teleported from previous locations will be enough. Nanzying confirms the quantity is more than enough to fortify the entire defense line. Then he activates millions of ice and lightning bombardment formations, each covering an additional 300 km. The lightning formations spread across the snow covered mountains. A status screen reveals his formation master skill has reached level seven, unlocking powerful new techniques. Nanzi Ying declares the wall of formations complete, stating he'll save the remaining source stones for when the defense line eventually falters. A breaking news report announces the completion of a massive canal project in the Northwest, sparking public outrage over the huge expenditure of resources in the city. As the Jiao family reacts with incredul, Sun Lee publicly accuses the Northwest of corruption and vows to dismantle their three grand projects. Brother Jiao then suggests broadcasting everything live so the nation can witness what he calls an act of justice. The others readily agree. Another report reveals that prodigies from the interior, already at the peak sovereign king level, have finally stepped forward to question the Northwest projects. Nanzying declares the time has come to unleash a forbidden spell and create the most terrifying extermination field humanity has ever witnessed. He then prepares to conjure a level five forbidden water element spell. The attack is named the water dragon assault. The technique is then activated over the ocean. Slowly, the water shapes itself, forming an immense dragon that rises before them. Nanzying commands his water dragon forward. But he's not one to back down. Activating Assura mode, he rockets straight at the beast. [music] Just barely defending against the imminent strike, the young master retaliates with a forbidden water spell, splitting the colossal wave in two. Realizing the technique nearly breached his defenses, he decides to go all out, merging his power with the Grand Canal itself. He unleashes a level five forbidden water spell, now with 500 times its original might. A system window flashes into existence, [music] detailing his elemental forbidden spell-caster ability. Meanwhile, two men gaze upon this absurd display of power. One declares the Grand Canal live stream has begun. Brother Jiao wastes no time firing up the broadcast and dramatically announcing it's time to give the people what they crave. He informs Chen Bing and brother Son that he's taking point on the channel, but Chen Bing quickly volunteers for the first project until Nanzing abruptly interrupts them. The newcomer unleashes a scorching fire attack, vaporizing the water and catching Brother Sun completely offguard without a moment's hesitation. Nanzi prepares two more devastating strikes, aiming to reverse the currents and flood the entire mountain. Across the live stream, viewers are in awe, exclaiming how utterly epic the power of these sovereign king level prodigies truly is. Back at Fangmo Mountain, two individuals sense the energy of the undead spirits growing ever more intense. Chuten wonders if the awakening city dwellers will also grow stronger, and the answer is a resounding yes. She then points to the sky, asking about four shooting stars that just made an impossible turn in the air. Feeling that familiar chilling aura, Nanziing instantly recognizes the presence of a rank A Zeno. Have they sent more assassins? He wonders aloud. Simultaneously, he notices the canal's water spells starting to spiral out of control. Have those aliens discovered his plan? Concluding there's no point in hiding anymore, he activates the canal's forbidden spell to supercharge his water dragon's attack. At the Grand Canal, Brother Jiao is still scoffing at their mission, calling it mere child's play. But suddenly, he notices something very strange happening. The water itself is starting to twist and churn. Terrified, he stammers. What in the world is emerging from the surface? Before anyone can react, a multitude of water dragons burst forth simultaneously, sending someone screaming for everyone to run. The live stream screen is completely engulfed by water, leaving the bewildered viewers utterly confused by what just unfolded. In utter shock, Brother Jiao slowly raises his gaze. A colossal shadowy figure looms from the depths while one of his companions frantically begs for help. Brother's son, collapsed on the ground, stares up at brother Jiao and whispers, "Are you one of them? An alien?" Raising a hand, Nanzying commands them all to halt. He demands to know who they are and why they're causing such devastation, but brother Jao just starts to introduce himself. Impatient, Nanzian cuts him off, dismissing them as ignorant fools. Finally, brother son speaks up, explaining that seeing him there, they finally grasp the full situation. The young master realizes these are indeed prodigies and that the aliens are hunting their clans. He barks in order, "Take me to them now." The three men are utterly bewildered by the sudden demand. Seeing their hesitation, he snaps, "Hurry, if you delay, your clans will be exterminated." The mere mention of that word exterminated, sends a chilling wave of shock through the trio. That night, a colossal explosion tears through the sky above Skyrest Mountain, illuminating the entire landscape in a terrifying glow. Brother Jiao finds his home engulfed in flames, plummeting into despair as he realizes his entire family has been massacred. Nanziing arrives moments later, confirming it was the work of a rank A Zeno. Without mincing words, he declares, "There's no time for mourning. If you want revenge," he states, "follow me to the Chien family estate." However, another explosion already rips through the Chien family's compound, forcing him to immediately change course towards the Sun family. At Jade Pass Mountain, a horrifying Zeno assaults the Sun family estate with a powerful energy blast. Fueled by pure fury, brother Son slams into the creature, screaming that it will pay for exterminating his family. The Sunclan leader, wreathed in roaring flames, announces he's dragging this alien straight to hell with him through a devastating self-detonation. He hurls himself at the Zeno amidst a colossal explosion as someone cries out for their leader. On the ground, the remaining group curses the alien, swearing it won't escape unpunished. Yet, the creature simply hovers in the air, mocking them. Humans are small, weak, and [music] utterly impotent. Nothing more than walking corpses. Faced with this arrogance, Nanziing steps forward, unshathing his sword. He declares, "Today you'll learn exactly what humans are truly capable of." Nanziing unleashes an army slaying slash followed by a landslitting mountain and then an annihilation fire. The Zeno takes a direct hit, shedding a few feathers from the impact. The overwhelming force of the attack sends the creature hurtling backward. He barks at the three injured men to back off and simply watch, giving the enemy no room to react. Nanziing follows up with an Assura's freef fall massacre, striking them headon. He maintains the pressure, unleashing the Assura Berserker technique. The young man charges forward without hesitation, delivering a relentless flurry of blows. Witnessing this, the three men realize they might still have a shot at revenge, recognizing him as the Assura of the Northwest. Under pressure, the Zeno begins charging a fiery counterattack. However, just as it's about to unleash the attack, someone teleports right beside the creature. Chuen appears behind the foe, striking it and instantly earning a compliment for a job well done. Seizing the opening, Nanzying charges in with the Assura demon hunter technique. Surprised, the Zeno admits the guy isn't half bad. Then it declares him worthy not of death, but of slavery. Hearing this, Nanzing scoffs, vowing to make it swallow those words. Without wasting a second, he unleashes the Assura dragon slayer technique. A dragon charges the Zeno as the young man dares it to try healing after being torn to shreds. The creature transforms, blocking the attack and calls humans ignorant and arrogant. Then the Zeno simply orders him to die. Refusing to back down, Nanzying charges again, counterattacking with the Assura hell on Earth technique. A devastating slash is unleashed, but the enemy claims it's all useless as long as its spark still exists. In response, the young man conjures a freezing formation with 50,000 times more power. Ignoring the spark, he completely freezes the creature solid. The other men watch, a ghast, realizing the blazing sky eagle has been frozen and that the Asura is also a master of formations. Next, Nanziing activates a 10 times stronger singlet target amplification. Energy streams from his eyes directly into the trios. Hovering in the air, he explains that the ice will only hold the creature for a limited time. Then, he urges the three to seize this chance and take their revenge with their own hands. Furthermore, he instructs them to head to the fifth defensive line and prepare for war after their vengeance. Finally, he warns them that an even greater enemy of humanity awaits them there. Soon after, a news report announces that four class A Xeno assassins have been cited and that the Xiao, Chien, Sunen, and Wong clans have been wiped out. People buzz about the aliens brutal attack on the most promising young talents, placing their hopes in the Northwest's prodigies. [music] Meanwhile, Nanziing tells Chuen they'll gather source stones and head for the east sea to tame beasts and eliminate [music] the assassins. Facing the sea, the young man begins to chant, invoking the sun, moon, and starry heavens. He then commands the mighty sea beasts to submit to his decree and serve him. Above the turbulent ocean waters, a colossal symbol begins to form. Moments later, a system notification announces that millions of mutant swordfish, tiger sharks, and great white sharks have been tamed. Answering the call, gigantic marine beasts emerge from the depths. With a sky shattering roar, Nanzying summons the wetstones of these creatures. From the seabed, an immense sharp object rises, creating a powerful whirlpool. The colossal horn-shaped structure fully emerges from the waters. Seeing this, he admits even he wouldn't escape easily. But Chuchian remarks that the real question is whether the assassins will show up. In the distance, Lan Chong Kong, prodigy of the East Seas Land family, spots the frenzied marine beasts. Without hesitation, he orders his entire clan to prepare for battle while he presses on ahead to investigate. He then dashes across the waters using his water control technique, Dragons March. Firmly, he declares that his family has guarded the sea for generations and won't allow the marine beasts to cause [music] destruction. However, he soon realizes what's truly happening beneath the surface. In no time, he discovers he's surrounded by an army of diverse marine beast species. At this, Chuian asks if Nanzying forgot to order them not to attack humans. As the command is adjusted to target only invaders, Lanch Chong Kong senses the change, wondering if this is the Prodigy of the Northwest. He then looks up and sees three shadowy figures appearing in the sky. Finally, the creatures introduce themselves as the sea masters, offering him only two choices, slavery or death. Lan Chong Kong wonders if assassins are after him, mistaking him for the legendary beast tamer. A gigantic sea creature charges directly at him, but he defiantly challenges his enemies, deeming it an honor to fight those who dare face a divine level tamer. Orca's surge towards a sea serpent, and realizing the beast tides are attacking first. He starts to question if the true tamer is commanding everything from afar. Meanwhile, Nanzing commands the swordfish to attack the cyclops demonic turtle while tiger sharks take on the thorny serpent. Simultaneously, great white sharks are ordered to tear apart the glacial dragon. Surrounded by the great whites, the glacial dragon sneers, calling them mere insects and retaliates with a chilling freezing breath. The attack is so indiscriminate that both the thorny serpent and the surrounding sharks are completely frozen solid. Even then, the resilient Thorny Serpent quickly recovers, still managing to insult its opponents, sneering insects. Immediately after, it unleashes a barrage of gigantic stingers. Across the chaotic battlefield, the Cyclops turtle deems the swordfish's attacks feudal. Without delay, unleashes its devastating collapse attack. Observing the chaos, Nanzying remarks to Chuen that their sea beasts can easily handle any enemy below rank A. However, she adds that against a rank A opponent, they're still not enough. With that, the duo creates 50 amplification formations, stretching them over 700 nautical miles. From a distance, Lan Chong Kong notices the immense energy spreading and wonders what it could be. Meanwhile, the three shadowy creatures slice through the sea of beasts, heading straight for him. Preparing for the impending clash, he vows to fight until his last breath. One of the creatures taunts him, challenging him to freeze it before it reaches him. In response, the glacial dragon attacks Lanch Kong's water dragon. The impact makes it clear the enemy's power is so immense [music] that not even his water dragon can contain it. Blasted back by the force of the blow, he begins to fall. The creature closing in as he loses his footing. Suddenly, an enchantment circle flares to life on the water's surface. The shadowy serpent is swarmed by sharks erupting from the sea. And moments later, one latches onto the glacial dragon's neck. Energy [music] surges towards Lan Chong Kong as he finds himself surrounded by the sharks. Recognizing the amplification formation, he instantly prepares his water control technique, then unleashes the endless ocean technique. The glacial dragon takes a direct hit, utterly baffled by what's unfolding, and disintegrates, its dying breath still a sneer. Insects. Shortly after, the thorny serpent and the cyclops demonic turtle are also neutralized. Satisfied, Nanzing remarks that their battle strength has now reached optimal levels with Chuen concurring that not even a rank s alien would survive this. He then asks her to bring Lan Chong Kong, and her reply comes with a knowing tone, stating she already understands his intentions. From a distance, Lan Chong Kong profusely thanks his saviors for sparing his life. Finally, he asks them to reveal themselves so he can thank them in person. Chu Tian appears before him, leaving Lan Chong Kong utterly shocked to discover that one of the legendary masters is just a child. The small girl gazes at him with a slight smile. As he's dragged along, the man asks who she is. Just then, Nanzing appears, telling him not to ask questions, but to listen carefully. She then asks Lan Chong Kong if he could shoulder the immense responsibility of using the EC as bait to draw out the alien assassins. Without hesitation, the man kneels, declaring that for the sake of the world, he would willingly lay down his life if needed. At this, Chuten grants him the power of an internal amplification formation. Immediately after, she places him in command of 100 million sea beasts, ordering him to annihilate any alien that dares to appear. Suddenly, a vacuum gate rips open in the sky, and Chuen warns that the seventh line of defense might not hold. Overcome with despair, she thinks of her brother and all the others. Countless alien horrors burst forth from a sky ripping portal. An officer screams a warning. The enemy's main force is here. He orders the seventh line to fall back while the sixth attempts to buy precious time. Chu Shinghi seizes command, overriding all previous orders. All units full retreat. Their only stand, their last hope is the fifth line of defense. Huang Xiao steps forward, offering to hold the line with an amplification formation, creating a window for Commander Wang to lead the retreat. The formation activates, a shimmering barrier rising to stall the creature's relentless advance. An elder barks orders at the youngsters. The fifth line needs you. We veterans will hold the rear. One man tries to convince another to accept the elers's noble sacrifice, reminding him to look at the bigger picture. The elders brace for their final stand, invoking their beast spirits to unleash havoc upon the invaders. The young man bows, a silent farewell to his ancestors and [music] the surging beast spirits. News channels blare. The seventh line has fallen. The fifth line braces for the inevitable impact. The people of the northwest unite, declaring they will defend the fifth line with their very lives. Everyone prepares for battle, believing brave spirits were sent by the heavens for this very moment. Meanwhile, Nanzing puts the finishing touches on the blazing sky stone project, perfecting his intricate grand design. Immediately afterward, he begins fully absorbing the immense power sealed within the source stones. A colossal surge of energy erupts, engulfing him completely, crackling with raw power. The system flashes, source stone reserves, a staggering 10 trillion. In a parallel sequence, he initiates the steel forest project, activating a forbidden gold element spell. Next, Nanzying tempers the molten steel with water, imbuing it with a 100,000 forbidden steel element spells. Then, the group moves to a volcanic landscape, commencing the volcano's heart project. With a raised hand, he commands ancient lava dragons to awaken and incinerate everything, implanting another 100,000 forbidden lava spells. Soon after, massive lava dragons materialize in the skies before them. A system window pops up detailing the max level forbidden spell, Star Origin, the infinite annihilator. As they watch the heavens, one of them comments that the technique's power might be too much for even Earth to bear. Nanzying resolves to unleash it only at the most critical moment. He declares only beast taming, spirits, and formations remain. Chuten, lead the way. With his hand pressed to the ground, the young man invokes ancestors from ancient eras to awaken. Legendary heroes of Weii, one of China's three kingdoms, materialized to suppress the encroaching darkness. Next, the legendary generals of Shu, another of the three kingdoms, manifest. Soon after, the formidable warriors of Wu the third kingdom also appear. Finally, the spirits of the Song Dynasty present themselves ready for battle. Immediately after, the spirits of the Yuan dynasty surge forth, radiating uncontrollable fury. Next, the warriors of the Ming dynasty emerge, poised for a legendary battle. Soon after, the heroes of theQing dynasty gather, boughs drawn, astride their powerful steeds. A system window appears detailing the ancient heroic spirit summoning ability now maxed out. He then rallies the honored ancestors, commanding them to prepare to fight on the fifth line of defense. The spirit army charges forward with furious might while Nanzing recites a chilling chant of a king's dominion. Next, he unleashes his beast taming domain, summoning swarms of venomous insects, then a terrifying horde of equally deadly snakes. He commands all mutant beasts. Listen to my call. Obey without hesitation. The system flashes the details of the era's beast Tamare ability, also maxed out. Nanziing awakens an ancient power to further amplify the beast tides. Sword held firm, he leads everyone towards the fifth line. Under the extreme exertion, blood streams from his eyes, a testament to his desperate resolve. Chuen cries out, warning him he's pushing himself too hard, that he can't possibly continue like this. Even so, he insists he must continue. There's no time to lose. Chuen tries to protest, but her words are cut short. Nanzying declares that only the formations remain and orders her to take him immediately to the fifth line. At the immense fifth line of defense, he unleashes the infernal sword chi formation, the purgatory fire formation, and the abyssal thorn formation. One after another, overlapping layers of lethal shimmering formations erupt, shielding their homeland with impenetrable might. Next, the system displays the Genesis God formation master ability maxed out. Immediately after, a notification confirms that all five supreme abilities have been unified and mastered as one. Instantly, he's enveloped by a violently swirling sphere of pure energy. Then, a colossal pillar of blinding light descends from the heavens, striking the ground with devastating, earthshattering force. Seeing him engulfed within that terrifying dome of energy, Chuen screams, "Nanzying<unk>s name." Within that raw surging power, he roars, his transformation reaching its terrifying completion. From a terrace overlooking the city, Sunley announces they've returned. Nanziing greets them saying they're just in time as little Chu Tianne rushes over calling him brother. He comforts her, praising her efforts when a younger companion notices Nanzing's hair has turned white. The boy asks what happened and Nanzing explains it's the toll of preparing for battle. Sun Lee then wonders if this means he's finally ready to reveal his full power. Nanzing confirms it. Moments later, news reports flash across screens. Alien forces have breached the last lines of defense worldwide. Before a massive assembly of soldiers, Nanzying declares he has a critical announcement before the final showdown. On a colossal screen, his voice booms, revealing that he is all five divine level prodigies of the Northwest. The crowd erupts in disbelief, wondering who's spreading such outrageous lies. Then, Nanziing steps forward, confirming it's true, and orders the elderly, children, and wounded to evacuate, only to join the fight if their defenses crumble. Elsewhere, a group of survivors reacts, one muttering, "I always knew Chief Nan was our savior." Nanziing then explains their entire military might is concentrated on the fifth line of defense. Yet, he grimly admits their current preparations aren't enough for victory. So, he reveals his daring plan. He's forming a suicide squad of psychics to breach the void gate and launch a desperate counteroffensive. First to step up is 9-year-old Chu Tian, a divine level spatial psychic, declaring it's her responsibility to find a resting place for Nanziing. Then, Chu Shinghi, the 23-year-old Chu Clan prodigy, volunteers for the Suicide Squad. Su Cheni, a 25-year-old puppet master, offers his services next, boasting he can curse some aliens to death. 18-year-old plant spirit summoners Chinuay and Chinying announce they're ready to fight. Lan Chong Kong, a 23-year-old water psychic, rides in on a colossal wave, telling Nanzi Ying, "Don't blame me this time." Jang Yuen, cruising in on a motorcycle, volunteers to handle supplies with her culinary skills, slightly reminding him of an old debt. Nanzying grins, saying he's thrilled to have her. A car screeches to a halt, and Su Lang, a perception psychic, steps out, apologizing for her past harsh words. Finally, Chen Cair volunteers, explaining her ability to rewind time by 15 seconds is crucial for reconnaissance. Nanzan approaches his brother, revealing their father didn't want him going alone and that he's recently awakened powerful battlefield healing abilities. Just then, Chen Leani and Susi Shan arrive, insisting one healer isn't enough, and asking for a chance to atone for past conflicts. Seeing his growing team, Nanziing offers a heartfelt thanks. With the group complete, he officially declares the formation of the counter-offensive Suicide Squad. Moments later, alien invaders blot out the sky. A thunderous voice echoes, "Prepare for battle." Ancient formations and forbidden spells ignite, unleashed upon the invaders. Waves of monstrous beasts surge forward while an army of undead spirits rides fearlessly into the fray. High on the city wall, a soldier roars to the wavering. Reinforcements are here. There's no escaping now. Meanwhile, inside the portal, Nanzying rallies his squad. Follow me. We destroy this gate and end their reign of evil once and for all. Upon reaching a small, secluded house, someone immediately asks where they are. Chuian explains it's a pocket dimension she created, where time flows exactly as it does in the outside world, revealing she's christened it the cozy cabin. Nanzying questions the mission status, insisting this isn't the time to settle down, but suddenly snaps back, demanding to know how long a human can go without food, water, or sleep. Another team member points out Nanzing's visible tension, noting his hair has turned white from the sheer stress of days without rest. Everyone is urged to seize this moment because even on the brink of the apocalypse, adults can't let the children down. Lan Chong Kong beams, exclaiming that this place is literally his dream home. The group watches his excitement, one woman remarking that his giddiness somehow makes the others look even more masculine by comparison. Nanziing asks the Chin brothers if they aren't curious about anything, but they both declare they've sworn to follow their benefactor to the very end. As they step inside, someone mutters that the brothers truly live up to their reputation as summoners. Sunly halts abruptly at the entrance, a look of utter surprise plastered on his face. The rest of the group crowds behind him. Lan Chong Kong gulps, wondering if his dream home has somehow become a nightmare. As Chu Tian cheerfully explains that she designed it for her little sister. The main room is filled with beds that look suspiciously like coffins. Someone muses that the style evokes childhood memories while the camera focuses on portraits hanging on the wall. Chuen beams, delighted everyone likes it. Sun Lee, however, asks how she knew exactly what to do. Chuingi suggests it's about embracing life through death, but the girl shrugs it off, explaining there's nothing profound about it, just early preparation. Sunly, still a bit unnerved, collapses onto one of the beds, declaring he's out cold. Despite the unsettling appearance, he admits it's surprisingly comfortable once he closes his eyes. In the kitchen, Jang Yuen starts prepping a meal, announcing it will be a true feast, for it might just be their last together. Chin Sui delivers a basket of fresh vegetables, leading Jang Yuen to ask why they're planting instead of simply conjuring food. The girl explains that her brother believes vegetables need to grow in the earth to forge a connection with the soil. Jang Yuen, a nononsense cook, shoves her out of the kitchen, telling her not to talk like that and warning that the smoke is bad for her eyes. In the pharmacy, Chenlani and Suan decide to focus on brewing potions for battle enhancement, healing, [music] and resilience. Meanwhile, Nanzy Shan settles into the healing room, noting that the stark white bedding makes Chuen's peculiar ideas abundantly clear. Outside, a teleportation formation hums to life, establishing a reconnaissance point 30 km from the dreaded vacuum gate. Chenier asks Chuen why she doesn't just create a new Earth. Without missing a beat, the little girl retorts, asking why Chenier has such a flat chest. Stunned by the immediate backlash, Jang Yuan quickly intervenes, calming the agitated Chenier and explaining that Chutian is just a child speaking her mind. Chutian then reveals that creating this cabin cost her 50 years of her life and she might not even live long enough to develop breasts. Deeply embarrassed, Chener apologizes while Chutian secretly thinks to herself, "Aults are so easy to fool." Soon after, Jang Yuan announces the soup is ready, explaining she prepared a little bit of everything for the group's meal. As everyone gathers, Nanziing attempts to discuss their plan, but Jang Yuan insists he eats first. Chu Shinghi then takes the lead, detailing that both the front and back portals are active with the front one leading back to their defensive line. He assigns Su Lang and Chener to the reconnaissance point while the others remain in the cabin to manage logistics. Nanzing agrees with the arrangements. However, Nanzan objects to her assigned role, asserting she can provide direct support on the battlefield. Chuen quickly interjects, promising to guarantee her safety. Nanzishan implores her brother not to hold back just because she's his sister. After a moment's hesitation, he relents, allowing her to join the front line. Shu Shinghi then instructs everyone to finish their meal, rest for 3 hours, and prepare for departure. Elsewhere, Chen Leani and Susi Shan accept the decision, remarking that they'd only be dead weight on the front lines. The group eats animatedly, making requests and playfully teasing each other about their ages and preferences. The banter continues outside with more playful jabs about one person's age and another's culinary choices. Meanwhile, a cube-shaped object floats ominously in the air, enveloped by a swirling vortex of energy. At the reconnaissance point, Su Lang and Chenair detect a staggering 1 million awakened signatures on the other side of the vacuum gate. Standing before the imposing structure, the group is informed that a million Buddhas await them beyond it. The decision is made. Eliminate the guardians first. Chuen positions herself to open the portal. After everyone confirms they're ready, she receives the order to activate it. A colossal golden entity looms, addressing Nanzi Ying, declaring it had been waiting for him and advising surrender, for the aliens are the true gods. Losing his patience, Sun Lee snars, telling the creature to shut its mouth, calling it a clown, and threatening to sew its lips shut. The squad charges into combat. Someone remarks that using Buddha's name for such evil is utterly repugnant. The entity roars that they leave no choice, and they will be forcibly enlightened as an ancient monk begins to chant. Moments later, the golden creature unleashes a devastating top-own attack. In response, Nanziing prepares his own earthshattering blow, proclaiming that gods will fall and Buddhas will be shattered. Nanziing<unk>s attack smashes into the golden entity, completely shattering it. But just as quickly, it reforms itself, declaring that its golden Buddha body is immortal and indestructible. Seeing this, Chuing summons a powerful shield to defend himself. As the barrier withstands the relentless assault, he realizes the enemy's combined power is overwhelming, and they're trying to wear them down slowly. Nanzing barks that they can't afford a war of attrition. They need to break this formation now. In response, the enemy unleashes a devastating attack, merging 10,000 fists into one colossal strike. Back at the observation point, one of the girls scoffs. They're underestimating Nanzeeing. Getting close to that attack will be a walk in the park for him. Without a moment's hesitation, Nanzying bellows Chuin's name, and she responds instantly. She teleports the entire group straight into the heart of the enemy's attack. They all reappear, surrounded by the swirling fists. Then in a flash, they're teleported again, materializing directly above the golden entity. Nanziing and the others prepare to unleash a devastating cursed strike. [music] Sensing the immense danger, the old monk screams for everyone to protect themselves with a mantra, but it's too late. The attack slams into the monks and the entity, causing massive destruction. Nanzying Bark's orders. Four of them are to handle the protectors while he takes on the leader. Sun Lee immediately agrees to the strategy. [music] Chinying asks, "Tough brothers refers to us, right?" Su Chang activates his puppet wire arena, brazenly challenging the old monk to use his dirty tricks. Protector Vager retorts that his mouth needs a good scrubbing, but Such Chang just grins and dares him to try. Chushingi confronts an ancient godle protector, trapping him within an impenetrable isolation dome. Protector Anup warns them to stop while they still can, declaring that true seekers of the Buddhist state must save themselves. Lan Chong Kong also uses an isolation technique, but instead he conjures a shimmering screen of water around his foe. Protector Deepac accuses him of going against the flow, but our fighter scoffs at the comparison. The Chin brothers summon a thorny jungle, engulfing their opponent. Protector Raja snars that he's not in the mood for chatter, to which the brothers retort, "Neither are we." Meanwhile, Nanziing commands his fallen warriors to rise and fight for him once more. Immediately, the spectral forms of defeated monks rise from the ground all around him. He points his weapon skyward, roaring for the spirits to annihilate these false Buddhas. The leader's eyes widen in surprise at such power, but Nanziing merely glares past him, declaring, "You're next." As the spirits surge forward, the old monk snars, accusing Nanziing of being consumed by greed, anger, and ignorance. The three poisons of Buddhism. Nanziing is struck by a psychic attack, but only roars back, "Shut your mouth." Then he unleashes a forbidden sound element spell, creating an absolute deafening silence. Advancing without hesitation, he declares that nothing fuels his hatred more than those who pretend to be gods, and then flips the accusation, calling the monk the true embodiment of greed, anger, and ignorance. As the monk shields himself, he questions, "Who among us is the true Buddha? and who is the real demon? In response, Nanzing unleashes the searing flames of Assura's fury, vowing to tear off his adversar's false divine mask. The monk proclaims that this blasphemer has forced him to reveal his true dharma form. Nanzing scoffs, "Was that form granted by your alien masters? How weak is your practice if it depends so much on mere appearances?" The monk then declares himself the reincarnation of Tatagata, only for Nanziing to instantly brand him a demon. The monk then declares Nanzing overflowing with sin, destined to be cast into the avichi hell of the six paths of reincarnation. Without missing a beat, Nanziing retorts, "I already live in that hell." He vows to show the monk what a real hell looks like, then activates the five element infernal formation. The monk's supposed divine level formation shatters, leaving him utterly incredulous at how easily it was destroyed. Nanzi Ying sneers, "You're no god. Your formation is a joke, and now it's my turn." As the monk frantically tries to dodge with a defensive technique, he's slammed by Assura's molten rock. He manages to raise a shield, but is instantly crushed by Assura's frozen ice. Giving no quarter, Nanzi Ying activates the golden lock formation, trapping his opponent completely. The monk is engulfed in chains, desperately begging his alien gods to save him. Suddenly, he vanishes. Nanzying immediately suspects the intervention of an S-class alien. Just then, a desperate cry for help echoes, and Nanzeeing instantly recognizes his father's voice. The monk reappears, now clutching Nanzing's father as a hostage, demanding his surrender in exchange for his dad's life. An enemy unleashes a parasite purging attack, but the Chin brothers defend themselves with a root shield. As the impact slams into their barrier, they realize the hostage is their benefactor's father. The blow still reaches them, prompting Chuten to prepare for an emergency teleport. Without a moment's thought, she instantly teleports Nanziing<unk>s father and his captor to safety. They reappear beside Nanza, who immediately starts healing them. Meanwhile, Chuen opts to hold back the protector. The girl uses spatial teleportation to trap their attacker inside a shimmering cube. The enemy struggles to break free, exclaiming he has no time for such games. Chuen merely sends him hurtling far away, while elsewhere, the intense battle against the golden entity rages on. Chu Xinghi barks orders, telling everyone to stay focused on the fight and put their trust in Nanzi Ying. Su Chang, meanwhile, expertly manipulates the golden entity with his threads, scoffing that he won't be distracted by some petty demon. He then brazenly taunts his opponent's divine whip, asking why it's so ridiculously short. The protector snarls, calling him insolent for insulting a sacred artifact. Immediately after, the monk unleashes a terrifying divine punishment, but Lan Chong Kong stands ready to meet it head on. Lan Chong Kong boldly declares it's nothing but mere fire and poison before unleashing his boundless ocean. The monk still holding the hostage snears, pressing his blade against the man's throat. "Don't you fear I'll kill him?" he taunts. [music] He threatens to end the hostage's life if Nanziing doesn't kneel, but the young man calmly asks his father if he truly wishes for such a sacrifice to save him. The father defiantly responds yes, then challenges his son. Do you intend to just stand there and watch me die? Chuen offers to teleport the hostage, but Nanzying refuses. instead asking her to get him as close as possible. As he draws near, the monk snarls a warning. Don't try any tricks. Yet, Nanziing attacks regardless, scoffing that the only trick he's playing is saving his dear father. The alien easily dodges, demanding to know the reason for the attack. Nanziing retorts that it had seriously underestimated his old man. The creature, sensing Nanzing's apparent indifference, questions him, but Nanzing shoots back that a species devoid of emotions could never grasp what it truly means to be human. The being offers one last chance to join them, but Nanzing's refusal is immediate and met with a deadly lunge. The alien snars, calling him a stubborn insect, and prepares to unleash its crulest methods, but Nanzing strikes first, connecting with a powerful lava slash. Nanzing then asserts that the alien's power is nothing but an illusion with both weak offense and defense. He declares his true obsession is to utterly exterminate them. The enemy relentlessly insists that Nanzing cares nothing for his own father's life. And this time the threat is very real. Suddenly, a memory flashes. His father arriving home with his mother, deciding to name their newborn son Nanziing. Another memory follows. A young Nanzi crying to his father about bullies, afraid because they were bigger and outnumbered him. Then a different memory. His father scolds him for feeling fear, advising him to always fight back, even if he couldn't win. Moments later, a younger Nanzi is seen savagely beating one of the boys, who screams for help while the others call him crazy. Watching from a distance, his father states that after this, they would never dare bully him again for the rest of his life. Years later, a grown Nanzing asks his wounded father how he got so badly hurt. The man simply replies that the battlefield is a brutal place. Back in the present, Nanziing confronts the alien, demanding to know how it knows all of this. The creature smirks, revealing it extracted those memories directly from his father's mind, adding that with its own power, killing him would be effortless. Just then, Nanziing's true father appears, gravely wounded. The alien quickly asserts it wasn't responsible for the injuries, claiming it actually saved him on the defense lines. It then declares it's now the father's turn to return the favor, causing him to scream in agony. A chilling message from the fifth defense line command blares, "Lord Nan Xong Shan has been reported missing in action." Hearing this grim confirmation, Nanziing simply responds, "Understood." The alien gloats, announcing it has completely merged with Nanzi<unk>s father's blood, and taunts him, asking if he truly has the guts to kill him now. Mockingly, it declares that insects are weak creatures, forever bound by their emotions as it prepares to make its escape. The golden entity then attempts an Earth escape art. Nanzing confronts it, desperately asking his father what he should do. To the alien's shock, his father's consciousness suddenly screams, begging Nanzing to save him. Enraged by this unexpected resilience, the being snarls, demanding they stop playing games and unleashes a forbidden lava spell. The golden figure is engulfed in searing flames, questioning why this is happening. Finally, the alien understands. Nanziing knew who the real father was all along. It persistence these humans after all. Amidst the roaring flames, Nanzying<unk>s father tells the alien that it would never understand. But that's precisely why humanity endures. He bids farewell, promising to wait for their next encounter while Nanzing whispers apologies. On his knees, Nanzing swears that day will surely come. He then pleads with his father to rest, vowing to bring him home for a good meal once all this mess is sorted. Meanwhile, the rest of the group struggles against the parasites. The siblings apologize for holding everyone back. Nanzashan explains that the decision was made by her brother and their father, admitting it's hard to control her emotions. Chutian suggests bringing their father back, but is told it's likely for the same reason he didn't revive the others. Her sister clarifies that his wish is for everyone to rest in peace. And on the battlefield, even the undead can die again. Little Chuen whines that these bugs are just too tough to kill. Seeing this, the Chin siblings offer to try, charging straight into the parasitic horde. Just then, Protector Raja returns, demanding to know what they've done to his dharma body. Nanziing regaining his composure tells a companion they need to clean up their own mess and the entire battlefield. Chu Singh he explains to one of the monks that the Dharma body was merely an illusion created by the now dead alien. Lon Chong Kong attacks his opponent, mocking how cowardly he's become after losing his dharma body. Su Chang traps his adversary, explaining that they were all duped by illusions, forgetting their true potential and acting like complete idiots. Shu Shinghi pierces his enemy with a precise strike. Then Lan Chong Kong freezes his opponent solid while Su Chang carves up the last protector. Finally, Nanziing unleashes a devastating tornado, declaring he will cleanse this battlefield once and for all. The group watches the Chin siblings with Chu Singh stating they don't need help. They must grow on their own. The last enemy tries to flee, but the siblings block his escape. Desperate, he unleashes a swarm of sea shell parasites. However, Chinying casts a reverse parasitism spell. Seeds burst from the parasites, completely turning the attack back on him. The man ends up trapped by metallic thorns. Utterly immobilized, he whimpers, wondering why Buddha didn't come to save him. The siblings simply explain that Buddha only helps those who help themselves. Nanzying then addresses the spirits of the fallen monks, offering them a chance at redemption on the fifth line of defense. The spirits accept, ascending and departing towards the horizon. Just then, Cang Yan emerges from a portal laden with food, announcing that the sun is risen and it's [music] breakfast time. Such Chang greets her, surprised she's already prepared everything. She simply replies that it's the only thing she's truly good at. Sunli then tells everyone to grab some grub and asks Chu Tian to teleport Suang and Chen are over. Meanwhile, Nanziing and the others remain silent amidst the wreckage. [music] He turns to Chinying, asking her to plant a tree near where his father fell so he won't lose him again in the future. From a [music] distance, Sunli and Chuian watch the group gathered under the newly planted tree. He then tells her to bring everyone over to eat before the food gets cold. Once gathered, Jang Yuan hands a meal to Nanziing, who thanks her silently. Sunli also serves him, insisting he needs to eat to keep his strength up. Little Chu Tian sits next to Nanzan, offering her own food. Soon, other squad members approach, doing the same and offering their meals to Nanzi Ying. He just stares at the full food box before him. One of the guys tells him to stop hesitating and just eat, reminding him there's still work to do afterward. A short while later, Nanzying's food box lies empty on the ground. Next, [music] he instructs Su Lang to compile a bestiary of aliens and share it in real time with the fifth line of defense. Immediately after, she reports news of an S-rank alien appearing at the vanguard, causing severe casualties. At that exact moment, the void gate ahead unleashes yet another wave of A-rank aliens. Numerous monstrous creatures erupt from the portal, surging directly towards the group. Faced with this, Nanziing orders Chuten to return with him to the defense line, leaving the others responsible for eliminating the enemies right here. On the front lines, the fifth defense formation is plunged into absolute chaos. Immediately after, a barrage of aerial attacks begins to pummel the battlefield. Facing the forbidden spells, countless creatures are held back by a single devastating strike. Among them, a multi-armed golem is struck by electrical discharges while other monsters are hurled away. Meanwhile, amidst the beast tide, humanoid creatures charge head-on against a monster with razor-sharp claws. In the spirit sector, a warrior announces the solitary blade assault, brandishing 18 spears in a single hand. Above the creatures, a vortex-shaped attack begins to coalesce in the sky. Then, the devastating force slams into the ground, obliterating everything in its path. Commander Wong Lay and his soldiers react, utterly baffled by what just transpired. One man screams that he can't see or hear any attackers. Bewildered by the assault as his own energy threatens to rupture. Desperate to stay calm, he activates the Crimson Abyss silent breath technique. He swiftly deduces the attack originates from the dark clouds and orders the colossal steel eagles to disperse them. A bat-like winged creature emerges from the clouds, making him wonder if it's yet another alien menace. Analyzing the situation, he realizes these creatures employ an inaudible sonic attack to destabilize internal energy, pushing victims towards self-destruction. Faced with this, an officer commands all espers to retreat to the underground shelters, conserve their strength, and immediately alert Nanzi Ying. In a grimy slaughterhouse, a group of men gloat about becoming stronger after awakening necromancy abilities. Suddenly, waves of raw energy reverberate throughout the entire city. The impact slams into civilians, sending them sprawling to the ground. On the fifth [music] defense line, the winged creature clashes directly with an elemental. Nanzing recognizes the gravity of the sonic attacks while his companion frantically searches for a way to shield both the city and their forces. With no other option, he prepares to unleash a forbidden sound element spell, deep [music] silence. A barrier spanning 500 km activates, enveloping the entire city. As the attack subsides, Commander Wang Lelay recognizes Nanzying<unk>s intervention and rallies his warriors to return to the fry. Civilians begin to recover, with one suggesting they check the live broadcast from the front line, convinced someone incredibly powerful has emerged. Nanziing requests Chuen teleport him directly into battle, leaving her in charge of support. Moments later, he materializes in the sky high above the creature. The enemy swiftly dodges his rapid attack, forcing him to conclude he'll need to use lightning. Meanwhile, an elementalist activates a forbidden wood element spell to secure his position. Nanzing then unleashes another forbidden spell, the lightning cut. However, the creature easily evades it, making him realize that even his lightning can't match its speed or inflict any harm. In response, the enemy summons darkness to envelop its surroundings. He counterattacks with a forbidden light element spell, scattering the oppressive gloom. Bracing for the next onslaught, he keeps his guard up. The creature then strikes him with a sound nullification spell, making him realize a single forbidden spell won't be enough to block it. So, he begins to multiply the power of the sound element spell. His companion warns him of the attack's insane range, while Nanzi Ying calculates he can only accumulate power four more times. The soundproof barrier stretches to its absolute limit, threatening to rupture. Despite this, he pushes the barrier to an absurd overload of 3 billion times. Realizing it's still not enough, he asks Chuen to find a way to teleport him and the creature far away from the fifth front. [music] At that moment, the enemy dives straight for Chu Tien, intent on attacking her. The sonic attack strikes her directly. At the last second, his companion summons a wooden shield to protect her. The man screams for them to protect Chu Tien and ensure she doesn't leave the soundproof barrier. Nanzi Ying then unleashes a forbidden sound nullification spell with an overload of 1 million times. Since conventional attacks have failed, he unleashes sonic interference, turning the creature's own venom against it. He declares that even if he's weak, what truly matters is that the attack works. With that, Nanzing unleashes a devastating sonic blast a 100red million times overclocked. The strike lands directly on the creature, crippling its eardrum and proving the technique's effectiveness. The creature hisses, calling him a pathetic insect, and fires a blast directly from its maw. In response, Nanzing retaliates with focused sonic waves. also a 100 million times overclocked. Struck, [music] the creature screams for its vines to form a protective shield. At this moment, Nanziing realizes his remaining source stones are limited, and he needs to win with a single decisive blow. He concludes that continuously relying on forbidden spells is unsustainable. He then wonders if it would be possible to transform an ordinary voice into a sonic wave attack. With this idea, he uses the forbidden conversion spell to transform his shout into an attack. The creature charges directly into the offensive. Still, the blow lands, though it proves weak. Nanzying admits his voice alone isn't enough, but then questions the power of hundreds of millions of Carians shouting together. A colossal energy surge manifests on the battlefield. His companions watch and one asks if the battle is lost. Nanzing explains that the barrier will only last 10 more seconds and orders the entire city to shout in unison. Through a telepathic broadcast, Commander Wang Lelay calls upon all citizens to shout alongside him. He roars, "Cath will prevail." The civilians respond with the same powerful war cry. Through the city streets, the clamor echoes among the populace. Soldiers and spirits alike join the chorus, screaming, "Cath will prevail." Even the beasts on the battlefield roar in response. Nanziing then activates an absorption spell to channel the power of these sonic waves. The creature is hit by a focused sonic wave. He then converts that power into a billion times overclocked attack, manifesting a magnificent energy dragon. The creature tries to react with its own sonic blast, but the dragon surges forward to intercept the enemy's attack. To the sound of the rallying cry, Cath will prevail. The energy dragon presses onward. It completely engulfs the enemy. Nanziing shouts for the creature to hear the roar of Cath's dragon and repent its arrogance against humanity. The dragon roars with fury and the creature responds with its own pained bellow. Nanziing informs them that he needs to return to the void gate to hold back the advancing army and asks to be notified if another S-rank alien appears. He then turns to Chu Tien asking if she's all right and if she can teleport him back to the cozy cottage. With great effort, she manifests a portal and confirms she still can. Immediately after, Chuen collapses into his arms. Nanzing declares he needs to get her medical attention before anything else and dashes toward the portal. Outside the void gate, a man activates his domain of annihilation against the creatures. Another combatant surrounded by serpentine creatures laments that they aren't even good enough for soup. A young man declares he isn't the same idiot he once was and at the same time creates a powerful water vortex. Meanwhile, two other warriors utilize the inferno of Thorn whirlwind to strangle one of the beasts. With the battle wrapped, one of them comments that he already burned through breakfast and he's hungry again. reunited. One of the men wonders how Nanziing is doing. Another responds that on days like this, no news is usually good news. One of them notices that the gate hasn't sent any more A-rank aliens and suggests there might be a teleportation pattern. Given this, he orders Su Lang to record all waves of aliens, tracking the time, type, and rank of every single one that appears. Suang confirms the order without hesitation. Suddenly, in the sky, dozens of eyes snap open in the darkness. Su Chang observes the scene and wonders, "What in the blazes is that?" Back at the secluded cabin, Nanziing bursts in, carrying a gravely wounded Chu Tian. One woman immediately calls for her to be laid down, while another rushes off to grab a healing potion. Once administered, the woman explains the dire news. Chuen's severe internal injuries mean she won't be able to use her powers for quite some time. Just then, an officer updates Nanzi Ying on an S-rank alien threat, but quickly pivots to even gra. America has fallen. She continues her report, revealing a million strong Esper rebel army led by an S-rank Reaper is now advancing on their fifth line of defense. Nan Xiing curses his luck. His source stones are depleted. Without them, [music] and without any spatial transport, there's no way he can get there in time. Sus Xian suggests a power boosting drug capable of granting a short-term surge of strength. But another woman quickly warns that it drains life force [music] and would be irreversible for someone already in a weakened state. Nanziing immediately dismisses the idea. They can't do that to a 9-year-old kid. His only option, he declares, is to summon a falcon and fly there himself. Susiaan apologizes, [music] promising to rack her brain for another solution. Suddenly, Chuian sits bolt upright and demands the drug, startling Nanziing, who hadn't realized she was awake. He tries to calm her, insisting it was all just a dream, but she scoffs, calling him a terrible liar. Nanziing sternly orders her not to be reckless, but the girl retorts that she's already been reckless enough by following him this far. Declaring herself just a reckless kid, she uses her powers to snatch the drug. Nanzying watches, horrified as she swallows it, reminding her that she, more than anyone, knows this is war. Chuen reacts almost instantly, writhing on the bed. Panicked, Nanzi Ying screams her name as the girl's body convulses. But then, with a calm he couldn't have imagined, she places a hand on his face. She then leaps from the bed, declaring that she's overflowing with an energy she's never felt before, and it would be a complete waste not to use it. Nanzying asks if she's truly sure, and her confident reply is chilling. She could teleport Earth right out of orbit without even breaking a sweat. Seeing her conviction, he demands more of the drug for himself. One of the women quickly hands over healing potions to counteract the inevitable side effects, while another offers them some grl before they depart. Nanzi Ying gratefully takes the food and Chu Tian also manages to wolf down a few bites. Meanwhile, at the vacuum gate, one of the men grimly notes that since Nanzing didn't show, the task of taking down the S-class creature falls entirely on them. Su Chang wastes no time, summoning his powerful puppets to join the fry. The marionets surge forward, launching an assault on the grotesque, multi-eyed creature. The entity unleashes a terrifying energy that instantly corrods one of the puppets down to the bone, forcing them to realize its intensely corrosive nature. Moments later, the insidious energy begins to eat away at the very strings controlling the marionets. Someone yells to cut the strings, and the [music] group barely breaks free as Su Chang apologizes for his momentary lapse. One of them quickly suggests that their priority must be to halt the spread of the corrosion, proposing they use water element abilities. Lan Chong Kong, seizing the moment, summons a massive water cube from the boundless ocean to imprison the creature. He shouts to seal it, and the vast mass of water instantly solidifies around their enemy. The creature is trapped, violently, pushing against the cube's walls, and the group watches, horrified, as the containment barrier barely holds against its immense force. The two brothers quickly conjure a root shield to reinforce the structure. But a comrade warns them it won't last long. Nevertheless, they strain to maintain the shield, bombarded by incessant corrosive projectiles. [music] Chushing he explains that while the water cube is being corroded, it has at least contained the monster. He suggests using fire, but quickly realizes no one present can wield that element directly. Chinying then proposes creating flammable plants, while another offers to generate the necessary sparks using his sword. She massive explosive plants quickly sprout around the designated warrior. He positions himself, ready to unleash a devastating clash of sword key to generate the spark. The energies collide, creating the perfect ignition. Fire engulfs the creature, but to their horror, it merely splits in two, revealing terrifying regenerative capabilities. The resulting explosion blasts Chu Singh backward. Midair, he finds himself surrounded by the creature's fragments, then pulled skyward by sinister energy tentacles. Chu Singh manages to recover amidst a barrage of projectiles, assuring his comrades he's fine. Chinying, however, grimly warns that the rate they can repair the shield simply can't keep up with the relentless corrosion. Chuing asks Lanch Chong Kong if he can control the rain, but receives a disheartening reply. For now, he can only manipulate the already corroded water. Faced [music] with this grim reality, one of them suggests crossing the corrosive zone to ignite the creature's core directly. Another suddenly remembers the spatial bubbles Nanza left behind. Even without knowing if these bubbles would truly guarantee their safety, the protagonist's sister bravely charges forward inside. One, understanding it's the only chance they have left. The spatial bubble slices through the creature's body, and Chu Shingi announces their defenses are holding strong. His companions cheer, celebrating the maneuver's success. Nanzishan offers to heal him, but he tells her to focus her holy light on the corrosion. As their shield is about to give way, she conjures a new shield of holy light. The barrier manages to contain the corrosion, but she warns that with her current power, she can only use it two more times. Chushingi asserts that holding back the advance for a few moments, even just [music] twice, will be enough. He then asks her to expand the barrier to protect everyone, granting his request, she expands the holy light shield. Inside the creature, Chu Shinghi pushes forward as the light carves a path ahead. Moments later, he finally locates the creature's core. Nanzishin begins to falter, but insists he shouldn't worry about her. A companion warns Su Chong to act fast as the core will regenerate in no time. Hearing this, Such Chong commands his puppets to charge forward. The wood element siblings receive orders to implant explosive seeds into the puppets. The puppets surge towards the creature's core. However, as they draw near, they're instantly disintegrated by the core's defenses. Even so, with the seeds now inside, a companion shouts for Chu Shinghi to detonate them. He activates his domain field, creating a clash of sword chi to scatter the sparks. The sparks hit the creature's core directly. The core then explodes from the inside out in a violent detonation. The group rushes into a spatial bubble just as the entire aquatic cube threatens to explode. The bubble shields them from the shock wave that ripples across the battlefield. Inside, Such Chang grumbles, asking how long it's been since any of them took a bath. Nanzi Shan replies that her family has always valued cleanliness. Lan Chong Kong takes offense, retorting that he might look like an old pickle jar, but he certainly doesn't smell like one. Chinsuay then timidly admits the smell might be hers. She explains that her brother told her earth is precious, so she avoided washing herself, leaving him visibly mortified. One of their companions laughs at the situation, asking if they still need to be crammed together now that the danger has passed. [music] Agreeing, Nanzashan dispels the bubble, and everyone finally spreads out. She comments that there's an earthy fragrance in the air, but it's not the same pungent smell from before. Chinuay, satisfied, concludes that she doesn't need to take a bath. Then her brother immediately retorts, "I don't think that's what they meant." Lon Chong Kong and another companion offer for her to sniff them, but she recoils, insisting, "It's not you guys either." Nanzishan muses. "When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Chuingi then asks if she still has the strength to heal him. She touches his injured arm and asks, "Does it hurt?" Then she smiles mischievously, adding, "Just kidding. There's plenty of time to take care of that later." Such Chang dramatically shouts that he's in pain and will surely die without treatment. But Nanzan retorts, "No one's going to think you're mute just because you stay quiet." Under a nearby tree, he declares his willingness to become a silent guard dog for his brother's happiness, asking the others to return while he remains on watch. Lon Chong Kong states he'll stay with him, and a colleague praises his unwavering loyalty. Meanwhile, in Antarctica, Chuen marvels that it's his first time seeing real penguins. Nanzing promises that after the war, she'll summon back the spirits of their friends. She then confirms she's capable of both bringing victory [music] and summoning penguins. Standing before Earth's last source stone mine, he affirms that this latest shipment should be enough to sustain the war until their final victory. [music] He extends his hand and begins absorbing the energy contained within the crystals. With the source stones restored, he summons the great legendary warriors of Antarctica to reinforce Cath's fifth line of defense. Immediately, ancient spirits surge from the ground all around him. Chutian asks why he'd summoned spirits from all the lost nations except for Salaria. And his answer comes with the confession of a surprisingly selfish desire. He then reveals his dream, a world where humanity is finally free from conflict, allowing ordinary people to live in peace. Chutian calls him an idealist, and she adds that she really wants to see that day come so she can have lots of penguin friends. He assures her it will happen. Finally, Nanzying decides it's time to pay a visit to the Rift Reaper and opens a teleportation portal. Before the Rift Reaper and its army, Nanzying casually remarked they'd picked a perfect spot for a graveyard. The creature introduced himself as the Rift Reaper, claiming to be a humble admirer of Nanzi<unk>s reputation. Takenback by such politeness, Nanzying noted it was the clearest grasp of language he'd ever heard from a monster. The Rift Reaper claimed he could now fully understand Nanziing, to which Nanziing sarcastically replied he felt flattered. Just then, Captain John America burst onto the scene with his soldiers, proudly declaring that America had made the ideal decision for humanity's future. He then raised his mighty hammer and together with his troops, they bellowed, "Long live America!" Nanziing, thoroughly disgusted, scoffed that their flare for drama would be better put to use in Hollywood. Infuriated by Nanzying's continued laughter, the captain snared, threatening to smash his face in. The Rift Reaper, eyeing Jon, told him to fight if he truly wished, stating he needed to witness his worth in combat. As the captain charged, Nanzying dismissed him as a mere warm-up and invited everyone to attack simultaneously. Immediately, the captain summoned what he thought was Thor's hammer. Nanziing scoffed at the pathetic energy of the attack, asking how he dares to call himself Thor. Then Nanziing summoned his own Thor's dragon, a real one, and asked if his opponent had ever seen a true Cath a dragon. Declaring he'd teach the captain a lesson, Nanzying unleashed a forbidden spell, massively amplifying the lightning element. An immense golden lightning dragon manifested in the sky, making the captain shriek in terror, recognizing the creature. The golden dragon lunged, absolutely devouring the poultry lightning dragon summoned by the captain. Captain America stared, dumbfounded at the colossal creature. utterly unable to comprehend such power. [music] Desperately trying to resist, he erected a lightning eegis for protection. But the attack slammed into him anyway, eliciting a scream of utter disbelief. [music] Then the golden dragon violently slammed him into the ground, crushing him. Chuten, observing the aftermath, snidly remarked on the captain's obsession with greatness, and the prominent letter stamped on his helmet. The Rift Reaper turned to the remaining soldiers, coldly stating that the captain proved his uselessness in death and that he wouldn't mind clearing out the rest of the trash. But then, Vice Captain Johnny America stepped forward, rallying the soldiers to avenge their fallen leader and prepare for a suicidal counterattack. Nanziing observed that these fools truly had no intention of giving up and declared they'd be the very first to experience his newest technique. He then combined and massively amplified the forbidden spells of Razer Gale and Sonic Wave. The devastating technique slammed directly into the vice captain and his bewildered soldiers. The resulting celestial tremor engulfed them with eight desolate, souls shattering howls. Nanzing remarked they'd truly dug a fine tomb for themselves and graciously offered to help them find eternal rest. He then manifested a protective earth dragon around himself. The focused convergence of sonic waves slammed into their crumbling bastion. A soldier screamed as his meager earth defense shattered completely around him. The combatant was thrown back, gasping, questioning how one man could possibly master so many powers. Nanzying sauntered over to the fallen soldiers, telling them the answer was simple. If they truly wish to be great again, he then initiated an undead summoning, ordering their spirits to rise, fight for Earth, and reinforce Cath's fifth line of defense. The spectral forms of the fallen soldiers rose from the ground. Spirits reanimated, ready to bolster the lines and fight once more in humanity's name. The Rift Reaper, witnessing Nanzying<unk>s immense power, acknowledged his true value and declared that a grand battle between them was now inevitable. Nanzing conceded this was the most cunning alien he'd ever faced, almost finding himself admiring the creature for it. Still, he reminded himself an enemy is an enemy and commanded his spirits to charge forward in an infernal assault for Earth. The creature then proposed a wager, rapidly spinning in the air with surprising agility. It suggested a battle of wits with the loser swearing feelalty to the victor. Nanzying accepted the wager but swiftly altered the terms. If the rift reaper won, Nanzing died, but if Nanzying won, he'd only accept the creature's service if it could prove its true worth. He then manifested a reverse cyclone to counterattack. The cyclone violently collided with the creature's fiery assault. The Rift Reaper accepted the revised terms without a moment's hesitation, clearly eager for the impending confrontation. Immediately, a relentless barrage of fireballs streaked towards Nanziing. He calmly erected an energy barrier, shielding himself from the onslaught. Then he amplified a glacial formation by a staggering 50 times. His amplified ice attack slammed into the fireballs, triggering a massive earthshaking explosion across the entire battlefield. Amidst a series of explosions, the Rift Reaper condenses a massive sphere of attack. The fiery orb h hurtles straight towards a glacial barrier erected by Nanzeeing, who declares he'll amplify his ice formation a hundfold. But even as the icy structure rapidly expands, it's violently annihilated by a direct hit. The Rift Reaper scoffs, deeming the formation insufficient and then calls forth a devastating rain of celestial fire meteors. Seeing the incandescent shower approaching, Nanzing realizes there's no other choice. He has to use his ultimate move, something he's never unleashed before. Raising his power, he activates the forbidden spell over Overdrive, initiating Star Genesis to force the meteors to converge. With a cosmic shift, he completely takes control of the attack, ordering all the projectiles to veer away from Earth and return to the cosmos. The Rift Reaper gapes, questioning if Nanzying can truly manipulate stars, and why he'd never use such power to protect the planet before. Advancing, Nanzing retorts that cyclones, projectiles, and even fire meteors are now utterly useless against him. He challenges the reaper to show any other tricks it might still possess, then prepares to strike with the Assura Dragon Hunter technique. Nanziing deafly dodges the creature's incoming attack, commenting that if he had a choice, he wouldn't be brawling with it. But since the Rift Reaper clearly has no intention of surrendering, their little chat can wait until after the fight. Immediately, he reactivates the forbidden spell, Overdrive, to summon a colossal magma dragon. With a command to advance, the fiery beast lunges at its opponent. The clash between their two immense powers triggers a cataclysmic explosion. Nanziing observes that with this move, their forces are now evenly matched. The magma dragon grapples with the Rift Reaper, managing to immobilize it. With the creature pinned, the young hero decides to add the Assura's infernal slash to the attack. The Rift Reaper reacts violently, making Nanzing wonder if it activated some kind of earthquake ability. Analyzing the situation, he deduces the monster's weak point must be its back, as it made an obvious effort to protect it while its tail was already restrained by the dragon. Now that he's found the vulnerability, he declares the fight will become simple and begins preparing another forbidden spell. Harnessing the earth element, he invokes the Earth's multiple convergence, then gathers energy from the lightning element and finally unleashes the myriad tribulations of lightning. Pummeled by the successive attacks, the Rift Reaper shouts for him to stop, declaring its surrender. The creature then offers to submit and serve Nanzi for life. But Nanzying is skeptical. How could he trust an alien, especially one so intelligent? He demands to know how it will prove its worth and loyalty. At that instant, the electrical attack is suspended midair. He reminds the creature about its unsatisfactory descending lightning tribulation, a subtle threat. The Rift Reaper claims to understand his concerns and proposes a gamble, asking Nanzying to recall the magma dragon so it can use its own tail. Nanziing dismisses the idea of any gamble, stating the creature wouldn't win a rematch anyway, and the monster thanks him for his wisdom. The creature then raises its own tail, revealing its final vulnerability. It explains that these are its descendants, the last seeds for the continuation of its civilization and entrusts them into his care. Stunned, Nanzing questions if he should truly shoulder such a responsibility, and the Rift Reaper confirms unequivocally. Nanzying poisons his blade, interrogating how he can be sure these descendants aren't some kind of weapon, or if the creature is simply trying to use him to facilitate a greater invasion scheme. Without a word, Nanziing slashes the Rift Reaper's back with his blade. Dark Liquid gushes from the gaping wound in the creature's body. The Rift Reaper explains it intentionally didn't activate any defenses, allowing the attack to strike it down, and asks if Nanziing can trust it now. Nanziing replies he only trusts halfway, but demands to know the reason behind this drastic action. The creature then explains that its race and humanity are in essence [music] equal, both having been invaded and pushed to the brink of annihilation. Deep down, it too is an adversary to the true invaders. Nanziing challenges the audacity of an invader calling itself an adversary, asking if there are no limits to what it would do just to survive. The Rift Reaper responds that this doubt exists because Nanziing doesn't yet know the truth behind the 10,000 races invasion. It reveals that everything is merely a game orchestrated by a superior civilization called the Celestials and Earth is just the chosen arena for a pre-duel cleanse. In light of this, Nanzying questions if in their eyes humans aren't even qualified to participate, merely treated like ants destined to be swatted aside. The Rift Reaper confirms and Nanziing presses him for details about his race and the so-called celestials invasion. The creature begins explaining that his people, the sky scorpions, once thrived on planet N66, rulers of their world. Millions of years of evolution, wars, and conflicts eventually forged them into a civilization founded on peace and tolerance. But that harmony was short-lived. A celestial descended upon their planet. The entity demanded they participate in the 10,000 races tournament. Their refusal was met with a brutal, massive assault from its warriors. The cost was catastrophic. A celestial's power operated on a scale utterly alien to their own. Comrades and kin fell one after another. The Celestial seemed to command all cosmic elements. The entire war lasted less than half an hour. Their defeat was absolute, pushing them to choose annihilation over a life of servitude. As the sole survivor, he was branded a traitor, but he couldn't bear to watch his civilization vanish due to a blind challenge forcing him into this twisted hunting game. Nanzying reels, a whole race wiped out in less than 30 minutes. He asks why the Rift Reaper chose to bet everything on him. The Rift Reaper responds that he sensed an aura within Nanzying, disturbingly similar to that of the Celestials. Shocked, Nanzying demands to know how that's even possible. The creature explains that while faint, the essence was identical. The elemental control Nanzi displayed in battle was unmistakable proof. Nanziing then grapples with his past life, his rebirth, [music] wondering if it all ties back to these celestials and their true terrifying objective. The Rift Reaper adds that he also sensed something resonating with his own races civilization within Nanzi. That's why he chose submission over death. Nanzing asks what value he, the Rift Reaper, could possibly offer. The creature responds, "He can obliterate any alien below S-rank, and he understands the mechanics of the void gate." Nanzing sets his conditions. The monster must obey his every command until the war ends. In return, he'll ensure the Rift Reaper's return to his home planet. The creature bows low, expressing profound gratitude. Next, Nanzi calls for Chuen, announcing it's time to head back. She responds instantly. The young woman is visibly startled to see the monster still alive. Nanziing introduces him as Reaver, the newest member of their squad. He then asks her to teleport them back to the void gate battlefield, promising a full explanation on route. Chutian agrees, activating the spatial teleportation. A shimmering portal tears open before them. Just then, she realizes Reaver is far too massive to be transported in one go. The Rift Reaper apologizes, explaining he can shrink or assume a humanoid form, though it would cost him his combat abilities. Nanzi Ying accepts the condition and Reaver agrees to transform. The creature's colossal body begins to contort, morphing. [music] His silhouette shimmers, twisting into completely alien features. In his new form, the creature asks if this appearance is acceptable. Chuen declares that for reasons unknown, she suddenly feels an overwhelming urge to punch something. Nanziing, hand pressed to his face, confesses his fists spontaneously clenched, too. Given this, Nanziing requests Reaver try for a male human form that actually aligns with Earth's aesthetic. The creature's body is once again engulfed in swirling energy as the transformation restarts. In his new new appearance, Reaver asks again if this is acceptable. Nanziing and Chuen stare, utterly dumbfounded. Moments later, they both lunge at him, exasperated, demanding to know how he could so thoroughly misunderstand human aesthetics, why in the hell his tail was in the front. Reaver apologizes, admitting he still has much to learn as his form undergoes further adjustments. Nanziing finally concedes, "Now that's much better." Chuchian hands him some fabric to cover himself, which he accepts with polite gratitude. Back at the void gate battlefield, Lan Chong Kong remarks to Chu Shinghi that the gate [music] has been eerily quiet for hours. Chu Shingh agrees, noting the teleport seemed to follow a pattern. Suddenly, a portal rips open, making Lan Chang Kong exclaim, "There is a pattern." Both immediately snap into combat stances, yelling to identify the approaching figure. They quickly notice it doesn't look human. Just then, Nanziing steps out of the portal, casually introducing his new comrade, an S-rank alien named Reaver. The other two are left utterly flabbergasted. Reaver explains they don't need to stand guard all night. The gate typically only activates at dawn for most aliens. Nanzying then asks for the method to close the void gate. The creature reveals that each invading race has its own unique passage. Reaver elaborates. They must cross this passage, wipe out the aliens on the other side, and destroy their teleportation hub to permanently halt that race's invasions. Nanziing questions if the command center couldn't simply be rebuilt after its destruction. The creature confirms it could be, but clarifies that the game's rules forbid it. Finally, Reaver concludes that once a hub is destroyed, the so-called celestials simply annihilate that entire race. As the group debates the entity's true nature and whether they can even hope to defeat it, Nanzi Ying cuts through the tension, suggesting they just take it one step at a time. Chu Shinghi proposes shelving that discussion for now and heading back to the cabin, pointing out there won't be any new attacks until dawn anyway. Chuen readily agrees, preparing to teleport them back to regroup with the rest of their companions. Back at the cabin, everyone gathers around a table absolutely loaded with food. Sunley remarks that he never thought an enemy would ever become an ally. Susan chimes in saying, "New friends are always a good thing." And warmly invites Reaver not to hesitate, urging him to make himself at home. Rever mutters to himself, reminding himself not to hesitate, to truly consider this place his home. Then, without a moment's pause, he lunges forward and devours every single scrap of food on the table in a single ravenous instant. With his face smeared in grease, he innocently asks if he was too polite and if perhaps he could get another plate. As the others promptly dogpile Reaver, Susishan just shrugs, commenting that their culture is vast and he clearly still has much to learn. The chaos quickly culminates with Reaver being unceremoniously yeated out of the house. Lying bruised outside, he laments that if he'd only known, he would have just asked for 10 tables of food right off the bat. Faced with this culinary catastrophe, the group decides there's no choice but to start cooking all over again. This time, a proper barbecue feast. Chinying and Chinuay waste no time using their powers to instantly plant and harvest fresh vegetables. Lon Chiang Kong then uses his power to wash all the ingredients clean in a single go. Next up, Chu Shingi and Sunli team up, deafly slicing and dicing the vegetables. And for the main event, Nanziing takes charge, roasting a whole pig's head to perfection using his raw electrical power. Reaver watches every move with laser focus, utterly determined not to mess up this time. Nanzing sternly warns him to at least wait until everyone else has eaten before pouncing on the leftovers. Once everyone is settled, Nanzing announces their grand plan. They'll be entering the void gate tomorrow. He then immediately assigns Reaver the crucial task of eliminating any creatures that emerge from it. When someone asks how they'll handle another S-rank alien threat, Suchanga's chilling suggestion is to utilize the countless bodies still scattered outside with Reaver's unique assistance. Someone quickly pipes up protesting his rather gruesome choice of words, but Su Chang simply shrugs, confident his point was made. Meanwhile, Su Lang and Chenier ask for permission to head straight to the battlefield for some intense training. They argue that now, armed with knowledge of the enemy's patterns, [music] they can evolve even faster. Nanzying readily agrees, integrating them into Su Chang's combat group, while he, Chu Tien, and the main party prepare for direct entry into the gate. Zu Yuan then shrewdly suggests that everyone share the hard one lessons from the past two days of grueling battles. The group dives into a serious debate, brainstorming ways to refine their techniques, concoct deadlier poisons, evolve their elemental systems, and forge even more potent healing items. The very next day, on the desolate battlefield, the void gate rips open, unleashing a terrifying horde of alien creatures. Nanziing barks orders for everyone to brace for combat, then tells Chuen to teleport them straight into the fray. Chuen activates her spatial link, initiating the jump. A shimmering portal tears open, and she gestures for everyone to follow, ready to invade whatever lies beyond. [music] The group arrives at their destination, disoriented and reeling from intense dizziness. Nanziing quickly instructs them to stay calm and harmonize their breathing. As they take in their surroundings, they notice multiple shimmering portals, quickly realizing that the rank of the alien races within is dictated by the depth of each passage. Given this critical insight, Nanzing decides they'll start with a lowranking races passage just to gauge the situation. As soon as they step through, they're struck by how utterly different the environment is from the outside world, clearly terraformed to suit the alien race of this particular realm. Nearby, two guards idly chat, commenting that their planet's main forces are set to arrive the very next day. Suddenly, the gate right behind them is violently shattered. The group emerges from the swirling dust and debris right where the gate once stood. Ahead, they spot a massive city built entirely of stone, instantly concluding that the teleportation axis must be located somewhere deep inside. A squad of enemy warriors charges forward, bellowing about ants invading their territory and demanding their immediate extermination. Nanziang doesn't hesitate. He prepares to unleash a devastating assault, activating the forbidden spell windblade overlay. An enormous swirling whirlwind of razor sharp blades erupts from his movements. Moments later, the entire stone city is engulfed in a devastating sequence of explosions. A terrifying message flashes. Game over for Jyn Shiking as their entire planet explodes into cosmic dust. His utterly stunned companions can only gape, wondering if they made a colossal mistake even coming here. Witnessing an entire world obliterated with a single attack. Amidst the destruction, Nanziing notices something peculiar. His source stone wasn't consumed. He quickly deduces that the sheer energy of the void gate must have somehow nullified that requirement. However, his relief is short-lived as a strange ominous mark begins to inexplicably form on his hand. He wonders if the mysterious mark is the price for using his powers within the gate and what the ultimate cost will be. Jug Yuan notices something is off and asks what's wrong, but Nanzing simply brushes him off, urging the group to move faster. The sooner they shut down the teleportation axis, the safer Hakia will be. Jug Yuan observes his strange expression, but decides to save his questions for their return. Nanziing instructs each member to enter a different gate to handle their assigned enemies while he takes responsibility for the S-rank threats. Advancing, he approaches an area where the portals pulse with greater intensity. Concluding that this must be where the S-rank alien races are emerging, he keenly observes the patterns on the portals. Wondering if only ranks above S receive such unique designs, he recognizes the familiar bat symbol of an S-rank race he's encountered on the battlefield before. However, the Rift Reaper's pattern is faint, making him wonder if the race is extinct with only Reaver left. Determined, he dashes towards one of the portals, ready to eliminate those familiar faces first. As he bursts through the passage, he questions if any residual mental power lingers in this place. While moving forward, he reflects on the gate being one way and why the entity doesn't unleash all races simultaneously. He also can't shake the unsettling thought. Is this divine entity doing all of this just for its twisted amusement? Meanwhile, in another desolate landscape, various grotesque creatures march in a disciplined line towards a portal. Two of them chatter excitedly, commenting that today is teleportation day. One reassures the other, boasting about how easily they'll crush the inferior races awaiting them. Nanzi Ying smashes through the passage just as the portal shatters behind him. The alien creatures are utterly bewildered by his untimely arrival. It wasn't the designated time for teleports yet. They frantically wonder if this is a counterattack from the ants. But Nanziing advances without a hint of hesitation. Their leader immediately barks orders. Prepare for battle and launch a full-scale mental assault. Nanzying realizes this is an incredibly powerful collective mental attack. Faced with the onslaught, he concentrates, raising a full force mental defense. Suddenly, two creatures join forces, launching a seductive illusion while the others offer support. Two alluring female figures materialize, inviting him to relax. As they begin to massage his tense muscles, they whisper sweet nothings, urging him to surrender to pleasure and forget the fight, the pain, everything. For a fleeting instant, he seems to yield, murmuring, [music] "I will." But then his eyes snap open, and he completes his sentence with a snarl. "I will curse your ancestors." He lashes out, striking one of the illusory figures. Nanzi Ying scoffs. How utterly you underestimate the human race, resorting to such simplistic tricks. The creature reels, realizing their intelligence was gravely flawed and their attack has failed. The alien then tries to establish a direct thought link, but Nanziing immediately severs the connection. Don't even dream about it, he growls, raising his weapon, he declares, "All of you die." The alien leader in turn realizes with a jolt that they've finally encountered someone truly important. In a desperate move, the creatures transform, morphing into the appearances of Nanzing's own companions. But Nanzing merely scoffs at their idiocy for thinking such a shallow trick would work against him. Then he unleashes his devastating attack. Hell on Earth! The creatures are instantly engulfed by the technique's overwhelming power. With a single decisive movement of his blade, he commands them all to vanish from the face of the earth. Muttering to himself, he observes, "That was much easier than last time." He immediately prepares for his next challenge, the Sonic Bat King. The enemy retaliates with a focused sonic wave, but a majestic dragon spirit erupts to intercept the blow. The resonant dragon roar completely repels the adversar's attack. After the ensuing explosion, Nanzi Ying declares, "The fight is over." Moments later, he feels the mysterious mark on his hand reappear. He deduces that this mark is the price for bypassing the use of source stones. Even with his current insufficient supply, winning the war remains the absolute priority. He steals himself, ready to face the next threat, the spectre of decadence. Meanwhile, Chutien floats, safely nestled within a protective bubble in the passage between portals. She observes everyone's progress, lamenting that she didn't bring any grilled eggplant to distract herself as she currently has no active role to play. Suddenly, a massive explosion of fire erupts directly in front of her protective sphere. Startled, Chuen spots an alien and realizes to her horror that she can't move. In the very next instant, a gigantic dragon bursts forth, roaring with incredible force. The dragon lunges to devour Chutien, who screams for dear life. Nanziing, shouting her name, charges the monstrous creature. He swiftly prepares a forbidden thunder spell, trapping the beast in a devastating thunder desolation prison, then urgently commands Chiny and Chinsui to rescue the girl. As a mysterious figure dashes toward one of the portals, Chinying and Chinsui quickly arrive on the scene. Chinsui cradles Chu Tian in his arms. the siblings comforting her. Chinying notes, "She's still just a kid, even if she is the eldest among us." But Chu Tian scoffs, denying any fear. "Why would I be scared if you aren't?" A massive lightning bolt strikes the dragon headon, but the thunder attack soon dissipates and its spatial prison shatters. Nanzing realizes the beast is escaping and immediately telepathically alerts Su Chung. Meanwhile, at the fort gate, the Rift Reaper unleashes a devastating volley of celestial fire meteors, triggering a chain of explosions that decimate the enemy ranks. The group murmurs, "His Srank isn't just hype. He absolutely crushes anything below him." The Reaper transforms back to his original form, boasting, "Just a little warm-up." His allies scoff. Keep fighting. Don't get cocky. He sheepishly apologizes. Nanziing telepathically warns Su Chen. An S-rank Sky Dragon is inbound, wielding a breath that can freeze time and space. Su Chang acknowledges the grim message just as the creature lunges, unleashing its devastating attack. The Rift Reaper is warned to watch out for the dragon's breath, but the beast roaring traitor releases its freezing blast, and the Reaper realizes it's already too late. Su Chang tries to activate his celestial puppet threads, but finds himself utterly immobilized. Undeterred, he somehow manages to weave a celestial net, attempting to ensnare the dragon and sever its contract. But the dragon simply lets loose another icy breath, and Such Chung gasps. Even his legendary puppet threads are frozen solid, rendering him completely powerless. Determined to save the Rift Reaper, one of their companions slams an attack into the ground to shatter his icy prison. The impact frees the Reaper, but Su Chang roars his name in concern. Su Ling quickly unleashes her sacred light healing, mending his wounds. Su Chang glares at the dragon, declaring, "The Rift Reaper is my ally now. You want him? You'll have to go through me first." A surge of emotion washes over the Reaper. He murmurs, "Comrades!" Suling, ever pragmatic, scolds him. "Stop whining about such a tiny scratch." Chenier shouts a warning to Such Chung. "Watch out for that incoming breath. Its time and space freezing lasts for 10 seconds." Such Chung scoffs, "Paralysis arts! My ancestors were playing with tricks like that when your entire dragon race was still in an egg. The dragon roars, charging him and calling him a fool. But Such Chung simply unleashes an entire army of puppets. As the puppets morph into fierce forms, Chener warns everyone, "Careful of their claws." The dragon is battered by a flurry of piercing strikes, but it retaliates fiercely, swinging its massive tail and slamming directly into Suchen. Realizing their communication is too slow, Chenier decides it's time for a new tactic. Just then, Suang activates their perception link, sharing senses across the entire team. Immediately, Chener unleashes the full power of her eye of prediction, shouting, "I can only hold this for 10 seconds." Seizing the moment, Such Chang commands the Rift Reaper to provide cover. The Reaper responds instantly, launching another barrage of celestial fire meteors. Simultaneously, the dragon unleashes its devastating freezing breath. But Such Chang, capitalizing on the opening, lunges forward, striking with his celestial net and commanding it to rip the monstrous foe to shreds. Such changed his celestial net, commanding it to obliterate the creature. He yanked the threads with all his might, roaring for the dragon to be torn to shreds. The beast fought back, a dangerous energy brewing in its maw. Su Changen, noticing the reverse scale on its forehead granted regeneration, started predicting its every move. The dragon tried to unleash its power, but Su Chang stopped it at the very last second. [music] With the threads taught, he ripped the reverse scale from the creature's forehead, vowing to turn it into a mere worm. Holding the scale in his hand, he declared it his. The [music] dragon's body began to crumble, and Su Chang announced the fight was over. But the overwhelming effort took its toll. [music] Su Lang and Chenier collapsed, dragging Su Chenge down with them. He quickly scooped the two young women into his arms, shouting their names. Visibly distraught, Reaver rushed over, offering to carry one of them, but Suling intervened, assuring them it wasn't necessary. She then conjured a healing dome around the group. Inside the dome, Chena remarked that they were finally no longer a burden to the team. Such chang thanked them for breaking the stalemate, only to be met with the reply that no one here was expendable. He then offered them a vial, explaining it was a rapid recovery medicine created by Chen Leani. Suang scoffed, saying it was rare to hear kind words from him, while Chener added that she thought a dog's mouth only knew how to bark. Su Chang merely stared at her in silent disbelief. The two fully recovered, surprised by the medicine's potency. He then asked what they planned to do now that their strength was restored. With a grin, Su Chang declared he was going to escape the girl who complained about his two kind words, then swept her into his arms. Su Lang watched them leave, commenting on how incredibly childish they both were. Reaver added that the scene reminded him of his own childhood chasing sunsets on his home planet. Meanwhile, Chinying and Chin Sui geared up to test their new techniques on the final teleportation axis. Chinuay first conjured the Abyssal Wood, then unleashed the sky pillar tomb seal. Without missing a beat, Chinyang prepared his assault, striking with the Earthroot annihilation, causing the structure to violently collapse. The siblings combined attack triggered a series of consecutive explosions. Chinsuay commented that the destructive power of their new technique was incredibly satisfying. Chiny credited Su Chang with the idea, agreeing. She noted her brother's strength had grown, and he confirmed it, explaining it was due to the higher spiritual energy density in the area. Chinying declared that once they were done here, they'd head to the rank area, but not before recovering their strength and taking the opportunity to develop even more new techniques. Elsewhere, Lan Chong Kong faced off against a formidable fire elemental creature. He deployed a specialized freezing agent, an attack that instantly froze the flames, leaving shimmering ice crystals suspended in the air. Next, he launched a barrage of ice spikes straight at the enemy, hitting the creature squarely with the frigid projectiles. Without hesitation, he then targeted the teleportation axis directly. Lan Chong Kong mused on how incredibly useful the freezing agent he got from Susa Nan was, allowing him to truly act as a dual master of both water and ice. In yet another location, Chu Shinghi activated his sword aura domain. He quickly realized that facing these enemies one by one was a complete waste of time. Going straight for the target would be far more efficient. The guardian surged forward to protect the tower, launching a coordinated assault against him. For a split second, he wondered if he'd been discovered. Then Chu Shinghi activated his Mirage sword aura domain. Unable to distinguish reality from illusion, the bewildered guardians attacked everything around them. He smirked, asking, "Who said a domain master has to stay inside their own domain?" Chu Shinghi declared they were defeated by their own limited thinking. Chuen reported that their progress was moving swiftly, and after a short break, they would destroy the winged sky dragon's teleportation axis. Nanziing declared he would scout ahead to investigate the ranks S alien race, warning no one to enter until he gave the signal. He surged forward, unleashing a powerful strike with his weapon. But then he recoiled. Utter surprise plastered across his face at what appeared before his eyes. Chu Shinghi wonders if this swarm of jellyfish-like creatures is even a single entity. Barely dodging a lightning fast strike, he notes the enemy's incredible reaction speed. He dodges again, questioning if this thing even has a mind. Chu Shingi charges, blade drawn, unleashing a powerful strike against the monster. But the impact violently repels his hand, sending his sword clattering to the ground and emitting thick, noxious smoke. Leaping back, he realizes the creature isn't just spitting lightning. It's also highly corrosive. Immediately, [music] he orders Chuen to deploy a spatial bubble. She instantly complies, activating the ability, and a protective barrier envelops him. Watching the enemy regenerate, Chu Singhi knows his sword is useless. He needs forbidden formations and spells. He summons an ice formation, stretching out his hand, watching the ice surge forward, wondering if it's enough to freeze the monstrosity. But the ice proves utterly ineffective against this life form. With no other option, he unleashes another forbidden spell, the raging flame dragon. The fiery dragon smashes into the creature, but it only intensifies the venomous mist's toxicity. He watches in horror as the mist begins to disintegrate his protective spatial bubble. Worried, he urges Chuen to reinforce the barrier, and she does so without hesitation. Next, he casts another forbidden spell, a focused soundwave. To his shock, the creatures can absorb sound waves, too. The enemy then redirects his own attack right back at them, fearing Chutienne can't hold on much longer. He must figure out the creature's pattern and end this fast. With a new plan, he decides to use the enemy's own magic against it, unleashing the 30,000 lightning tribulation spell. All the lightning is absorbed without a hitch. Facing utter failure, he tries to detonate the absorbed energy from the inside out. The creatures don't explode. Instead, they seem to grow even stronger. Chuen warns him, "The venom's corrosion is too strong. She can't maintain the barrier much longer. Meanwhile, Chu Shinghi's arm is suffering from the accumulated recoil of his spells, worsening by the second." He concludes, [music] "If a direct push doesn't work, maybe a reverse attraction can destroy the creature." Preparing for one last attempt, he gathers energy for another forbidden spell. Chu Shinghi unleashes a spell that directly extracts the lightning element from the creatures. All the enemy's energy is ripped away, concentrating into his hand. He compresses the power into a dense sphere and asks Chuen to coordinate the teleportation. She confirms she's ready. Chuing takes aim, preparing to hurl the energy sphere. As he launches it, he orders it teleported to the opposite gate, wasting none of its devastating power. Meanwhile, in another location, a draconic creature emerges, declaring it will devour everything to become king. But its celebration is abruptly cut short by something hurtling its way. The creature [music] wonders, "What are these ants?" The energy sphere slams directly into the creature. Back at the main battlefield, Chuen collapses, asserting she can't hold on any longer. Chu Shingi screams her name just as the barrier shatters. He stares down the monster, realizing the venom is still active, even without the lightning. Faced with this, he conjures a protective cyclone as a forbidden spell. Convinced the same principle of the reverse lightning spell can work with water, he begins extracting the aquatic element. Chu Shinghi unleashes a forbidden spell, ripping the water element directly from the creature. Concentrated, [music] he begins to compress the energy and the stolen water slowly condenses into a swirling sphere of raw power. The might stabilizes, firm and formidable in his grasp, and he grins with confidence before launching the water sphere towards the opposing gate. Elsewhere, a monstrous being is suddenly frozen solid by the teleported attack. Next, Chu Shingh utilizes a forbidden earth element spell, invoking the mighty Grand Earth Burial technique. However, with the continuous use of so many forbidden spells, the curse marks on his body flare up, the burning sensation intensifying. Feeling his energy rapidly depleting and nightfall approaching fast, he rushes to Chuen, who is still unconscious. He gently wakes her and offers a healing remedy, urging her to take it so they can finally head home. Chuen questions if they truly won, and he simply confirms their triumph with a calm, knowing smile. Through a voice transmission, Chushing Hi instructs everyone to gather at the passage to return to the cozy cabin. The group celebrates their conquest of the Dragon Wing lair, joking about finally being done with their shift and demanding overtime pay. Rift Reaver, not missing a beat, sheepishly asks if he should be ashamed to make the same demand. Sunly chuckles, noting that Rift Rever has certainly picked up on that Hakia sense of humor. Su Xiao Nan and Chen Leani prepare medical supplies, with one asking the other to grab medicine and cotton, wondering aloud how on earth everyone managed to get so banged up in just one day. At the dinner table, Jang Yuan assures everyone their injuries aren't severe and insists they eat up to aid in recovery. The woman quickly informs Rift Reaver that his meal isn't included in this spread. He quickly replies, understanding his role is simply to sit and contribute to the festive atmosphere. She clarifies that his main course is still outside because the day's hunt was simply too large to fit inside the house. Meanwhile, Lan Chong Kong brags to Su Chang about single-handedly dispatching 27 A-rank alien species or lower. Such Chung scoffs, reminding him he returned in that state, even with group support. A younger companion interrupts their bickering, proudly declaring they actually took down an S-rank creature. Su Chang chuckles, remarking to Lanch Kong that their retriever has finally learned to talk back. One of the young men reports that everyone's abilities have improved and the battlefront on Daxia's fifth defense line has begun to shrink. A woman advises Nanzi not to push himself so hard. He responds that he'll explain what's needed after they finish eating so as not to spoil anyone's appetite. Later in the clinic, Nanziing secretly requests they examine the mysterious marks on his body, asking what they know about them. Susiana speculates they might be some kind of tattoo. Chenlani, however, wonders if they're actually a curse, a consequence of overusing forbidden spells. Nanzishan confirms her fears. It is indeed a curse. The woman presses on the marks, but he explains there's no pain, only a searing burn that flares up whenever he uses a forbidden spell. A sample of his blood is then collected for analysis. One of the medics asks Nanzan to try a sacred light healing technique, and then she and her colleague quickly withdraw. Outside, the others question her about the situation, but she still has no answers. Nanzan then uses sacred light purification on Nanziing. However, she quickly realizes the technique has no effect on the marks. Undeterred, she decides to apply an enhanced cure. The marks immediately react to the enhanced cure, taking Nanziing by surprise. Suddenly, the curse violently retaliates, throwing Nanashan across the room. Nanziing screams his sister's name. A companion rushes to catch her, calling out to ensure she's all right. He asks if she's okay and Nanzan shakily confirms she is. The marks wythe intensely across Nanzing's body, making him wonder if the curse directly reacted to the sacred light. Nanzan explains that the curse seems to be a living entity capable of attacking on its own, something she's never witnessed before. The other two medics return with the analysis results, informing them that the skin tissue shows absolutely no abnormalities beyond simple pigmentation. She's utterly incredulous, questioning how this is even possible after such a violent attack and suggests it might be some kind of parasite. One of their companions helped support Nanzan as the doctor explained the situation was incredibly bizarre and more tests would be needed. However, Nanziing declared he was ready for any outcome. She decided to first try a curse removing ointment. Nanzing felt absolutely nothing and with the curse showing no signs of receding, he concluded the method was useless. Since gentler approaches failed, they decided to try a folk remedy from Xiaoan, a corrosive alien venom. The young woman warned him it would be as painful as being burned alive and asked if he needed an anesthetic. Nanzying scoffed, asking if she was underestimating him and urged her to just start. The corrosive venom was poured onto his arm. He cried out in excruciating pain. The woman observed that the venom only burned through the flesh, leaving the curse unaffected. This method, too, had utterly failed. Examining the wound, her companion pointed out that the flesh and blood beneath the corroded skin still bore the curse mark. Then she noticed the mark extended all the way to his bones. Nanziing concluded that to remove it completely, he'd need to amputate his entire arm. He quickly abandoned the idea, especially since the curse didn't seem to be causing any immediate harm. Nanzan approached and offered to heal the corroded wound. However, as she performed the healing, she realized the mark possessed the ability to regenerate. Nanziing then questioned if this wasn't a curse at all, but rather a new ability that strengthened his body's regeneration with each forbidden spell he used. Su Chang, convinced it was all a false alarm, then dismissed everyone. Out in the forest, Chin Sui and Chinying put their abilities to work. They conjured a powerful spell, causing a wooden cabin to emerge directly from the earth. The structure rose completely from the ground, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding nature. Rift Rever mused that on his home planet he'd always built for others, but now they were building a home for him. Once finished, the siblings invited him inside to see if he liked it. Chinying explained that the house's unique style expressed everyone's feelings for him. The lights flickered on, revealing a projector, a thoughtful gift from Chu Tian. Rift Reaver instantly burst into tears, profusely thanking everyone and practically flooding the place with his emotions, while Chinsu and Chinying playfully chided him for his overly dramatic display. Meanwhile, Chuch Chong Chong and Chuchian chatted outside the main house. He handed her the custom-made ring she'd requested, each engraved with the wearer's name. Chuda noticed one unique ring and instantly teased her brother about it being for Nanzan, accusing him of being smitten. Chu Chong Xiang just told her to stop acting like an adult and go to bed, and she readily agreed. Then she used her spatial injection ability on the rings. With these new spatial storage rings, it would be much easier for everyone to carry supplies and collect materials for research. Chu Chong Chiang agreed, adding that she deserved nothing but the best. Just then, someone called out for Chu Shinghi, and Chu Chong Xang quickly bid farewell to Chu Tian to go assist. Su Changa revealed that Nanzying<unk>s blade was broken, but explained he'd brought three rare reverse scales from the winged sky dragon to forge a new one. Chu Shinghi approved the material and proposed a hardness test. He would strike it with his sword aura while Su Chong controlled the scales. Accepting the challenge, Such Chong prepared the scales. Chu Hinghi then unleashed his mighty domain sword aura. The blow struck the scales and Su Chung confirmed their excellent hardness. The sword aura simply dissipated upon contact with the scales energy. Chuing Haye instantly recognized the winged sky dragon's inherent slowing ability. Realizing the reverse scale carried this potent effect, he concluded the new weapon would be incredibly useful. Immediately afterward, the scale was heated, hammered on the anvil, and quenched in water. Su Chang brandished the gleaming new weapon, deemed it incredible, and proudly named it the reverse scale blade. In a dream, Nanzi Ying found himself before a colossal ancient tree. He questioned it about its identity and purpose. The tree responded with an enigmatic riddle. Your past is my present, and my present is your future. Then the entity urged him onward, declaring, "He must become it and liberate it." Bound by ethereal chains, Nanzying demanded to know what this meant. The tree simply instructed him to press on, affirming that a far grander future awaited
