The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 281 Calculation and Game of Strategies: Revealing Each Other's Hands!
Zhou Shan's expression was extremely solemn. He hadn't expected that his all-out attack would be neutralized in this way.

He certainly noticed that He Teng's chessboard had been broken, which meant that this rule even superseded the rules of the chessboard...

Watching the influence he had exerted on this place vanish in an instant, that almost time-reversing ability—wasn't that a bit too much?!

It should be noted that even during the Three Kingdoms period, an era teeming with heroes, no other warlord had ever possessed such power.

If such power existed during the war-torn years, wouldn't it have made one virtually invincible?

"Surprised?"

Li Chunfeng's voice drifted over slowly: "Indeed, it's quite astonishing."

"But if it weren't for this power that moves you, where would my confidence come from?"

"Zhou Shan, that attack just now was indeed quite good."

"But... it's just not bad."

"You think you can defeat me with those kinds of methods? Aren't you being a bit too naive?"

"you……"

He paused slightly at this point, then his usually calm gaze sharpened, and his voice suddenly deepened:
"Who exactly are you looking down on?"

Zhou Shan's originally complicated expression now showed a hint of relief.

Originally, Li Chunfeng's threatening and arrogant words did not seem to have the effect of provoking or suppressing Zhou Shan. Instead, they made Zhou Shan calm down.

A slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Let's see who comes out on top then."

Zhou Shan said this simply, and then another sudden thunderous roar shook the world.

Boom!

This explosion was louder than ever before.

Some less capable individuals were even thrown off balance by the sheer power of the roar.

It was an aura that was like... an earthquake!

Li Chunfeng frowned slightly. His gaze, which had been fixed on Zhou Shan, suddenly shifted away, and he looked up at the dark dome above.

Just as Li Chunfeng raised his head, a series of thunderous explosions suddenly rang out!

Boom!

Boom! !
The two sides fighting on the battlefield suddenly stopped. The unease and fear surging from the depths of their souls made them forget for a moment that they were fighting each other.

Many people looked up at the pitch-black sky, and although they couldn't see anything, they were still awestruck by what they saw.

The fear of the impending collapse of the heavens made their eyes widen, their pupils filled with panic.

Indeed, for the people here, it was a terrifying scene, like the collapse of the heavens. The enormous dome was being shaken and trembled by the lightning strikes from the outside world, and mournful cries emanating from the dome echoed within the hemispherical, enclosed space, a sound akin to the fear of witnessing a mountain crumble before one's eyes. In a very short time, the dome's sturdy defenses withstood countless lightning strikes.

Immediately following this was a strange, tooth-chilling sound.

Cracks appeared above the pitch-black sky, and light seemed to dance within them.

As if sensing something, Zhou Shan, who had transformed into a pure electric energy body, opened his arms in an instant, as if to embrace, or as if to release all his power!

The next instant, the first bolt of lightning finally shattered the dome. The huge bolt of lightning, which was more than ten meters in diameter, crashed to the ground with a loud bang!
Its power was extremely strong, and the silvery-white lightning illuminated the entire stronghold of the Diviner Alliance!

But the lightning bolt didn't disappear like ordinary lightning after it fell... It maintained its baptism of the ground for at least three seconds!
What's more, one after another, these terrifying lightning pillars are appearing!
Boom!

Boom! !
The skilled fighters from these organizations, while shocked, also witnessed their opponents being reduced to ashes by the bombardment of the lightning pillars.

The dark dome was riddled with holes by the lightning and was on the verge of collapse.

Starlight spilled across the villa area from outside the void created by the lightning pillar.

Looking at this exaggerated pillar of lightning, the people in the organization felt a shock akin to a dimensional attack. They were secretly relieved that the lightning pillar was on their side…

But for those fortune tellers, this is a demon that brings death, a synonym for death.

It is precisely because of this absurdity that some people find it hard to believe that this is an attack method used by a human being...

Muttering voices echoed throughout the dilapidated dome:

"Is this... a heavenly tribulation? Is someone undergoing tribulation here?!"

"What exactly happened... Was the flame just now an illusion? And what's with this lightning pillar?"

Zhou Shan manipulated celestial phenomena, harnessing the power of nature to enhance his own strength. This reduced energy consumption while increasing power, and combined the use of celestial lightning with human-generated electricity – this combination is what makes Zhou Shan truly formidable. As the "literary" aspect of his dual martial prowess, Zhou Shan is not merely skilled at issuing commands and strategizing; his combat capabilities are practically strategic weapons!
But at this moment, Zhou Shan, the culprit who destroyed the dome and left it riddled with holes, showed no pride or smugness whatsoever.

He was still carefully observing Li Chunfeng's every move.

He was still preoccupied with the sound of the bell that had just rung.

That powerful force, capable of altering cause and effect and breaking the rules... coupled with the fact that Li Chunfeng had not yet truly begun to retaliate, made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Li Chunfeng's arrogant provocation was practically telling Zhou Shan two things.

First, Li Chunfeng was simply waiting for himself to exhaust himself.

Secondly, Li Chunfeng was testing his own cards and trying to further understand his own strength.

But no matter which one...

Zhou Shan had no choice but to play along.

Moreover, at this moment, he had no way out.

Zhou Shan's mastery of lightning was already unparalleled; his attacks would only become more and more ferocious with each strike!

The magnetic storm lingered in this space, and had now become a target between heaven and earth. With just a slight push from Zhou Shan, it would be like a floodgate being opened... A new round of even larger and more frenzied thunderstorms was about to be generated!
In this mountain valley, the free electrons in the air were instantly swept away, and under Zhou Shan's control, they surged wildly towards the clouds. The essence of lightning is the neutralization of positive and negative charges, and under Zhou Shan's manipulation, the clouds became the best energy storage medium. Two thunderclouds expanded and grew larger in an instant, those radiant thunderclouds, which had never been formed in nature before, were now rapidly approaching each other!

Seeing such an exaggerated scene under the cover of night, even Li Chunfeng, whose expression had remained unchanged, had his pupils slightly contract.

Boom! !
An increasingly loud sound came from the high altitude, and an astonishing amount of energy was instantly connected with this high-pressure space due to the collision.

Li Chunfeng looked up and seemed to see a thunder dragon forming from the clouds, roaring as it swooped down toward where he was!

At this moment, everyone realized that the terrifying lightning pillar was just an appetizer.

That was preparation to enrich the air here with electrons! And the next moment, a truly powerful ocean of lightning suddenly descended from the sky!

The thunder dragon crashed to the ground, then transformed into countless interconnected arcs of electricity, raging through the villa area like the most ferocious lightning demon, destroying and melting everything in its path. In an instant, it reduced the seemingly indestructible steel and concrete to dust... Without Zhou Shan's charge shield to channel the electricity into the ground, the diviners had no way to dodge. The moment they came into contact with the charge, they were instantly disintegrated by the absolute high voltage.

They seemed to show no signs of protein denaturation before instantly turning into dust.

It was only at this moment that the experts from all the organizations realized just how formidable Mr. Zhou, who was stationed at the top in Yanjing and who had won the respect of countless high-ranking officials, truly was!
One person can destroy a city!
This is no joke! This is no exaggeration!

He really can do it!
At this moment, Jiang Chuan also stared in astonishment at the terrifying lightning hell surrounding him.

The sheer power of this scene immediately replaced the thunderous rain that had just shocked him, and the tolling of the bell that brought withered trees back to life and instantly reversed cause and effect.

Mr. Zhou... is terrifyingly strong!
He swallowed hard, then looked towards the very center of the endless thunderstorm, where, of course, Li Chunfeng was!
It was as if the center of the Milky Way was there, the heart of the thunderstorm.

All the arcs of electricity leaping through this villa area originated from this core. And if the aftershocks alone are so terrifying, imagine how terrifying they would be at the very center of this thunderstorm!
Jiang Chuan couldn't imagine what the peak combat power of this armor was like. He just felt that even with it, it would be reduced to ashes in such a thunderstorm.

Jiang Chuan glanced subconsciously at Zhou Shan, who was floating in mid-air, but upon seeing him, his heart skipped a beat.

"This……"

He didn't see a confident expression; all he saw on Zhou Shan's face was caution and vigilance.

What? Li Chunfeng isn't dead yet?

How could he possibly survive?

Just as this thought was lingering in Jiang Chuan's mind...

Boom!
Another bell rang out!

This bell tolled more deeply and anciently than before, as if it had traversed the river of time, resounding from ancient times and appearing in the modern era.

"No way..."

Jiang Chuan was utterly astonished.

But the scenery before us has changed.

It seemed as if it had been completely remade; the starry sky outside was rapidly dissipating, and the villa and dome that had been shattered by thunderstorms and lightning bolts were rapidly healing.

Once again... once again, such bizarre and illogical scenes have appeared.

The villa area seemed to be as if nothing had happened... He had actually healed again?
Just as Jiang Chuan was still reeling from the shock, he heard Zhou Shan's deep voice:
"It seems... the only option is to restore non-living entities?"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, then looked around at himself.

Those who died in the thunderstorm did not come back to life...

Although his opponent's methods were indeed ingenious, Zhou Shan had begun to gradually figure out the patterns behind them.

The unknown is what's truly frightening; once we have the intelligence, we can find a way to deal with it.

But Zhou Shan hadn't finished speaking when he continued:
"Were those dead members of the Diviner's Alliance just expendable pawns to you?"

Although his voice was low, his words carried throughout the entire villa area.

Amidst the lightning bolts and thunderstorms, the surviving fortune tellers, still shaken, certainly heard these words.

They even knew it was a psychological tactic, but they still couldn't help but start thinking about it.

Zhou Shan didn't give Li Chunfeng a chance to explain at all, and continued:

"You used all your men here as pawns to test me?"

"Now you've tested them enough, but even if you can restore these inanimate objects, what about the dead people? What do you plan to do with them?"

"You could have protected so many more people, why didn't you do it?!"

Li Chunfeng had not yet spoken.

Meanwhile, the spirit master from the Diviner Alliance on the other side suddenly unleashed his spiritual power: "Bullshit!"

"Such a clumsy psychological warfare tactic, and they actually think it will work?!"

"How could our Diviners' Alliance possibly have such a fool listen to your slander!"

Zhou Shan scoffed:
"calumny?"

"I, Zhou Shan, never lie!"

"If those people weren't abandoned pawns, why didn't you rescue them!?"

"If you have no ability to save others, why is your disciple still alive?!"

Zhou Shan had actually deliberately left protective barriers on Shen Jing, even carefully controlling the trajectory of the electric arc to keep it away from Shen Jing, who was still gripped by fear. Zhou Shan had already devised this plan.

Since the bell's sound is so powerful, the organization needs to thoroughly study it and even try its best to bring the bell back to Yanjing!
Faced with Zhou Shan's distorted and contradictory statements, Li Chunfeng simply smiled calmly:

"Can only heal non-living entities?"

"Is this the answer you've come up with?"

Zhou Shan frowned.

Jiang Chuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

It wasn't just inanimate objects!?

In other words... a person who dies here can be resurrected by the sound of that bell!?

But why didn't he do that?

Another...another scam!?
Just as Zhou Shan was unable to make up his mind, he heard Li Chunfeng's confession:
"The reason I procrastinate is simple."

“Zhou Shan, what you least expect is not how strong I am, nor that I have any hidden treasures…”

"Your brain simply doesn't question one thing; it's a common-sense oversight. I even find it perfectly reasonable for you to make this kind of mistake..."

Zhou Shan interrupted him and asked bluntly:
"What exactly do you want to say?"

Li Chunfeng smiled and said:
"My helper will be here soon."

"I want to see just how many spirit practitioners you can hold off?"
