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

Jiang Chuan found it hard to imagine how Zhou Shan could have analyzed so much under such high pressure.

Is this combat skill... a natural talent?

Mr. Zhou rarely makes a move; he practically never leaves his home in Yanjing. If it's not talent... then how do you explain it?

While feeling astonished, Jiang Chuan also basically understood what Li Chunfeng's "words becoming law" meant.

He frowned, thinking carefully as he began to review the situation:
"After Li Chunfeng entered the state of commanding speech, every word he uttered became a rule."

"Including wanting me and Brother He to die, including having those people stop you, Brother Zhou..."

"However, this state of command is not a complete immutability of words, but is related to the state of the person whose 'code name' is called."

"If someone is as strong as you, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it will also put a heavy burden on him..."

Zhou Shan nodded: "Based on the intelligence we have so far, that should be the case."

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized something: "So, he was certain you wouldn't leave, which is why he uttered that command?"

Zhou Shan nodded again.

Jiang Chuan continued to ponder: "What he said does make sense. It seems like he's declaring victory, but in reality, he's using words to set the rules for the future..."

"If you don't run away, you'll be led to failure under Yan Ling's guidance..."

"That way, we'll all die..."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he couldn't help but gasp.

Li Chunfeng's methods were truly cunning. Who could have imagined that those provocative words were actually part of his orders?

It was all thanks to Mr. Zhou's quick thinking... otherwise, they would probably all have died there.

The others on the shuttle, upon hearing Jiang Chuan's description, also looked on in surprise. Most of the people on the shuttle were wounded and already disoriented; they had only vaguely understood what Mr. Zhou had said. Now, hearing Jiang Chuan's explanation, they finally understood…

He Teng also sighed, "Li Chunfeng's abilities are practically unbeatable."

"If you weren't here, the entire army would have been wiped out."

Zhou Shan shook his head and said, "Today's situation... is actually quite special."

"Although we achieved our goal, in terms of gains and losses, I think our victory... needs to be put in quotes."

"My abilities have been completely exposed, and I've played all my cards. Next time, my opponent will probably be more prepared."

"This ancient temple actually has a significant effect on restraining my power."

He Teng hummed in agreement, then nodded slowly, reminiscing, "Indeed..."

"Awakening memories is Kuafu... that's really outrageous."

Jiang Chuan suddenly asked again, "Speaking of this ancient temple... Brother Zhou, was your previous killing also part of the plan?"

Zhou Shan laughed heartily: "How could that be?"

"If I could have foreseen this, I wouldn't be dead."

"Luckily, I lit the Seven Star Lamp in advance..."

Although he smiled, Jiang Chuan could see the helplessness in Zhou Shan's smile.

I imagine Zhou Shan must have been extremely surprised when the ancient temple completely channeled electricity into the earth and suddenly pierced his heart.

At this moment, He Teng's gaze fell on the clone who was lying unconscious on the stretcher.

"This kid really went crazy when he saw you fall."

"He single-handedly held back the ancient palace."

"Otherwise, we might not be able to hold out until you are resurrected."

Jiang Chuan also recalled the clone that had gone mad back then.

At the same time, he also remembered Li Chunfeng, who had planned to perish together with Zhou Shan.

"Back then... Li Chunfeng actually planned to die with you."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, He Teng nodded: "He did not use the bell despite the influence of the chessboard."

"I'd rather die of old age than bring you back to life."

"If Shen Jing hadn't forced it... the outcome would probably have been different."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan frowned.

Such an enemy... is even more troublesome.

Without a doubt, Li Chunfeng would do anything for his beliefs.

Zhou Shan looked at Jiang Chuan and said:
"If we encounter the Diviner Alliance again, we probably won't have such a good chance to escape."

"If we encounter this again, we must do everything in our power to escape."

"This chessboard..."

He paused for a moment, then made up his mind: "I'll leave it to you."

Jiang Chuan was overjoyed.

The Rotten Chessboard can be considered a divine artifact. It is comparable to the Eastern Emperor Bell, as it involves the power of time. Moreover, Jiang Chuan has never seen anyone who can resist the rapid passage of time. Guo Wenjie, who was ranked fourth in the Jia-4 class back then, could not, and now even Li Chunfeng cannot stop it.

Jiang Chuan still remembers his feat of instantly defeating eight top-ranked players on the chessboard...

Although his mental energy was almost completely depleted, if there were no chessboard, even if he exhausted his mental energy, which opponent could he defeat?

Jiang Chuan said frankly, "Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Shan smiled again and said, "You're welcome."

"in addition……"

"Xu Shan told me that you're thinking about escaping from the mecha base."

"Go back and write a self-criticism, four thousand words."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback: "Huh?"

This happened a long time ago, why bring it up again?

He Teng smiled as he looked at Jiang Chuan's reaction.

After glancing at He Teng, Zhou Shan suddenly remembered something and said, "Laugh?"

"He Teng, I haven't settled your score yet."

Unlike his gentle tone towards Jiang Chuan, his tone had become serious:
"You were the one who helped Jiang Chuan leave the mecha base... weren't you?"

He Teng was taken aback, his smile immediately vanished, and his eyes instantly filled with resistance.

But Zhou Shan continued talking.

"As the head of organization A, he disregarded discipline."

“Taking advantage of his status as a member of the Jia family, he forcibly took Jiang Chuan away from the base of the machine company.”

"Regardless of the outcome, the fact remains that Jiang Chuan has been put in danger."

"This inspection..."

"You write too."

"Ten thousand words."

Jiang Chuan felt the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turning upwards, but he was holding back, he kept holding back.

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, he abruptly turned to Zhou Shan and asked:
"Oh, right, Li Chunfeng also told you to stay away from him..."

"So...the rules haven't actually materialized?"

Zhou Shan looked at Jiang Chuan again, shook his head, and said, "Actually, it did appear."

"It's just that the rules of the game require a different interpretation of this statement." Jiang Chuan was taken aback, and the image of Li Chunfeng constantly flickering under Zhou Shan's intense fire attack immediately flashed through his mind.

"Is it that Flash?"

"Flash? Hmm, that's a very apt word. It seems you've grasped the meaning of that sentence."

"distance?"

"Probably. But it is precisely because of this that I have truly confirmed the workings of his commands, since he never said anything like my attacks could not hit."

Jiang Chuan exclaimed sincerely, "Awesome!"

……

the other side.

Beneath that dome.

After gathering the remaining troops, Li Chunfeng still had many things to deal with.

The twelve spiritualists died, and Gu Dian's physical injuries had mostly healed, but the damage to his spiritual sea was difficult to recover from.

Furthermore, Shen Jing's mental energy was completely drained. If Li Chunfeng hadn't responded in time, Shen Jing would likely have died by then. Even so, regaining his senses was still no easy task for Shen Jing.

Besides the consequences of the battle itself, the battle also had a profound impact on Li Chunfeng.

It's important to understand that Li Chunfeng hasn't been back in the Diviner's Alliance for long, and his position within the alliance's upper echelons was already precarious. While the cost of twelve spirit practitioners might seem insignificant to the entire alliance, for Li Chunfeng, it would inevitably provoke a barrage of criticism from within the alliance.

This was his first official battle since returning to the Diviner Alliance, yet he lost despite such a huge disparity in strength... It even led to the loss of the Eastern Emperor Bell... Even though his disciple was now in possession of the Eastern Emperor Bell, given Shen Jing's current state, it was no different from losing it altogether.

Not to mention that he doesn't know when he will wake up, even if Shen Jing does wake up, the Eastern Emperor Bell will become a one-time use item for a short period of time.

unless……

Unless Shen Jing is killed and the ownership of the Eastern Emperor Bell is changed again.

Li Chunfeng would certainly not allow this to happen, but such an attitude would inevitably become one of his weaknesses that would be attacked.

He stared silently at the ruins before him and sighed quietly.

there is always a solution to a problem.

There's always a solution.

The Divine Descent Plan is now almost complete, and at this critical juncture, the Alliance will definitely need its own capabilities.

And perhaps I can take this opportunity to do something?
He narrowed his eyes, as if he already had an idea in mind.

……

On an unnamed island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the sun is rising.

The sea shimmered, and the sunlight shone on the rocky mountains, creating a unique scene.

This island is entirely a rocky mountain. Even though human footprints are found in almost every corner of the earth, there is not a trace of man-made structures to be seen here.

Apart from a few seabirds that linger here, the place seems lifeless.

But beneath this tranquility, inside the island's rocky mountains, lies a completely different scene.

The mountain has been almost hollowed out, and it has been completely transformed into a base.

The base of the Diviners' Alliance.

At this moment, an argument is breaking out in the base's conference room.

"What?! How many spirit practitioners died? Twelve?!"

"Are you kidding me?! What on earth is Li Chunfeng doing?"

"Is his return a good thing or not? Ever since Li Chunfeng returned to the alliance, bad things have been happening one after another!"

"The death of twelve spiritualists is bad enough, personnel losses have always been a problem, but he failed to accomplish a single objective! Jiang Chuan is alive, Zhou Shan is alive, and he didn't even bring back a clone! I'm starting to seriously doubt whether the person we've taken in is truly the founder of the alliance?"

Just as Li Chunfeng had thought, the attacks had already begun.

The high-ranking members of the Diviner Alliance sitting here all knew that the confrontation in Jinling had revealed Zhou Shan's true strengths and weaknesses, proving he wasn't entirely without merit. However, to better facilitate the subsequent exploitation of Li Chunfeng's authority, they tacitly coordinated their conversation, deliberately ignoring the gains and focusing solely on the losses.

"The losses from this battle were devastating; reading this report is truly heartbreaking..."

"The Divine Descent Plan has been implemented to this point, and the Alliance is in dire need of manpower at this time. Such losses are truly disheartening."

"We must get an explanation from him!"

Just then, a calm voice came over: "What's your explanation?"

This calm voice interrupted everyone's righteous indignation.

They both looked towards the doorway and saw the figure slowly walking towards them.

It was Li Chunfeng.

"Heartbroken?"

"Who said that?"

As silent as a cicada.

The once bustling conference hall was now eerily silent.

The middle-aged man who had just said he felt heartbroken had his head down, his expression unchanged, as if what he said was not true at all.

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath. Upon returning to the Diviner's Alliance, he already knew that the alliance had strayed far from his original purpose. Rather than a world-saving organization fighting against the apocalypse, it was more like a profit-driven business alliance… Strangely enough, the organization had developed into a complex web of factions, transforming from a salvation movement into one driven by personal gain…

Although Li Chunfeng had not yet fully established himself, these high-ranking officials did indeed harbor a deep-seated fear of him.

The thought of Li Chunfeng charging in alone filled them with dread.

A person in a vegetative state who suddenly wakes up claims to be Li Chunfeng and wants to take command of the Diviner Alliance for no reason? Are you kidding me?
Of course, it's through their personal abilities that they'll admit they are Li Chunfeng.

At that moment, at this moment.

The sudden appearance of Li Chunfeng silenced them once again.

Li Chunfeng stood at the end of the oval table and looked around.

The conference room, which had just been chaotic, was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After giving him a very imposing look around, Li Chunfeng finally spoke again:
"I think the preparations for the Divine Descent Plan are almost complete."

Let's start with Kunlun.

“I already know Zhou Shan’s trump card. This time, we will lure Zhou Shan out of Yanjing... In Kunlun Mountain, we will kill Zhou Shan and Jiang Chuan.”

"Be prepared to win in one decisive battle."

Upon hearing this, some people couldn't help but frown: "Isn't this too reckless?"

"Killing Jiang Chuan and Zhou Shan is certainly important, but are you saying we can accomplish everything in one battle?"

Li Chunfeng glanced at him, then said:
"To kill Jiang Chuan, we must first activate the special state he displayed when he slew the dragon in Yanjing."

"If we don't have enough manpower, it's just a matter of throwing our lives away."

"It's not just about having enough quantity; the intensity must also be sufficient."

Someone at the table seemed about to say something: "But..."

Li Chunfeng ruthlessly interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"Give me some time."

"The start time of the Kunlun Mountain Divine Descent Project".

At first, everyone was silent, then one of them gritted his teeth and said:
"Five days!"

Five days!

Li Chunfeng coldly replied, "Three days." (End of Chapter)
