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

What the three groups saw before them was the space carrier from the Diviner Alliance.

Li Chunfeng was standing on the bridge when he saw the three groups of people looking up at the mothership.

"Sir, this is someone from the organization."

A staff member nearby retrieved the identity information of the three groups of people.

Seeing that the highest rank these people held was only Class A, Li Chunfeng wasn't bothered. They couldn't affect the execution of his plan at all. Li Chunfeng calmly said:

"Ignore it."

“Execute the plan.”

The staff member immediately nodded: "Yes!"

The moment he confirmed the plan would be executed, the entire bridge was abuzz with activity.

"Confirm all barrier nodes!"

"Formation setup confirmed, commencing!"

"Divine Rune Inscription Working Group, report on the divine rune situation!"

The Nine Heavens are opened, welcoming the ancient gods to descend upon the world… The Diviner Alliance has begun their final plan. To ensure humanity possesses the power to coexist with the apocalypse, their millennia-old intelligence and resources will be fully deployed at this moment!

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath. Even for someone with such a legendary life experience as him, what was about to begin was breathtaking. It was the beginning of a new era, a start that would influence the course of human civilization.

And to be able to stand here, to be able to fulfill the grand ambition made a thousand years ago...

All the effort was worthwhile.

After a moment of silence, and after hearing the confirmation of "ready" from one voice after another, he turned to look at the silent Shen Jing behind him.

Li Chunfeng looked at Shen Jing, nodded, and said:

"Disciple, go."

"Open that door as I told you."

Shen Jing nodded and turned to walk towards the elevator door.

He arrived alone at the very top of the mothership, where the wind howled high above, and his clothes fluttered wildly in the gale.

But Shen Jing didn't think much of it. He raised his hand out of thin air and pointed it towards the sky directly above.

The moment he raised his arm, the gale abruptly ceased. The surface of the Jade Pool became as calm as a mirror, the sparse clouds in the sky vanished in an instant, and even the air began to thin. The midday sun shone brightly, revealing another extremely mysterious appearance amidst the distorted and undulating air... like a crown made of light, shining and blooming in the sky.

Boom!
A bell rang out loudly.

The Eastern Emperor Bell can distort time and reverse cause and effect. Its power seems to bring about outcomes originating from different timelines; this formidable power can break down the barriers of space and time. And at this moment, as the key to unlocking the Nine Heavens, the Eastern Emperor Bell's power is more than sufficient.

On the ground, the members of Group Three naturally heard the thunderous sound of the bell.

Every face was filled with solemnity and shock.

They were still unaware of what had transpired in Jinling, but they vaguely sensed that the sudden tolling of the bell signified a change in things. The world they knew seemed to be transforming at this very moment.

Cao Zhiqiang's expression was extremely grave: "What happened?"

"What's going on with this mothership? How did it suddenly appear?"

Zhu Chengzhu, as a technician in the third group, immediately voiced his speculation:

"Optical camouflage, a technology from the headquarters technical team."

"...But this is definitely not the strength of the technical team."

Cao Zhiqiang asked, "The enemy?"

Before anyone else could speak, Li Yu interrupted their analysis and said, "Old Zhu, take the children and go first."

At this moment, a white light, representing dense spiritual energy, began to emanate from Li Yu's body. Although he didn't speak, his voice continuously rang in everyone's ears:

"This is not a battlefield for those children."

"Be prepared to make sacrifices."

"Today, all three of our groups may die here."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the members of Group Three were filled with solemnity.

But Wu Zhen's eyes widened: "No! I'm not leaving!"

Zhong Huahua and Tang Songming did not move, but Zhu Chengzhu had already started walking towards the car again. As he walked, he glanced at Cao Zhigang, who of course knew the meaning of that look.

Cao Zhigang sighed, grabbed Wu Zhen and Tang Songming's arms, and pulled them towards the car. Zhong Huahua followed behind, looking somewhat confused, as if she didn't know what to do.

Cao Zhigang's voice was solemn: "Your mission is to get this message out."

"Wu Zhen, this merit is invaluable. Even if it means death, we must spread this news. The sooner the organization knows, the greater our chance of survival."

Wu Zhen's face turned ugly: "Teacher, don't lie to me!"

"Will they let us get the message out!?"

"What are these people trying to do? Where did this thing come from?!"

"That Team Leader Li already said you should be prepared to sacrifice yourselves! Do you still think we're children?!"

Cao Zhigang was also stunned for a moment, surprised by Wu Zhen's clear judgment at this moment. Why was this child not confused at this time?
But regardless of whether he's confused or not... I absolutely cannot let him stay here. The future of the organization rests on these children. Even if humanity is about to have no future, for those of us who still hold hope for human civilization, tomorrow is still something to look forward to.

Even if I might not live to see that tomorrow.

At this moment, Zhong Huahua also spoke up, saying, "We can be of some help here."

"At once……"

However, at that moment, a white light flashed.

Zhong Huahua, Wu Zhen, and Tang Songming, who was about to speak but hadn't had a chance to, all fainted.

"Take them away!"

Li Yu displayed an unprecedented level of tension. The sound of the bell had even made him feel a suppression from a higher level, a sensation he had never experienced before. If this continued, these children would definitely not be able to escape. And they still didn't even know who the enemy was... let alone what that bell's sound meant.

Ever since he sensed a power in the mountains that seemed to exceed his current limits, he had become more sensitive to that power. And now, the powerful force brought by the bell made him feel uneasy, and a feeling of being unable to resist arose deep in his heart.

Zhu Chengzhu left with Zhong Huahua and the others, and just as they left, Li Yu's spiritual power made an astonishing burst!

A milky white light, carrying immense power, shot into the sky, completely illuminating the dark and gloomy Jade Pool that had been blocked from the sunlight!
The powerful force slammed fiercely into the bottom of the mothership, unleashing a dazzling burst of light from the dissipation of dense spiritual energy! Even Cao Zhigang, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't help but turn his head away, and the others were forced to avoid looking at him due to the overwhelming power.

This was the first time Cao Zhigang had witnessed Li Yu using such pure mental power to fight an enemy, and such overwhelming power would fill anyone with surprise and delight. With such a powerful attack, even the giant space carrier with the thickest armor in the world would be pierced!
However, when he looked up again at the mothership, expecting to see a teetering, smoke-filled scene, his body stiffened.

"how?"

Not only him, but even Chen Yufei, who was usually quiet, widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "How is this possible!?"

The space carrier was completely undamaged!?

How can it be?

Li Yu's voice came through: "It's a barrier."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "A barrier?"

Chen Yufei was taken aback: "Could it be... that the barrier is being applied to oneself? And it's acting as a shield?"

Li Yu nodded solemnly, then said, "Not only that, I also broke through another layer of energy shield."

"It has healed now."

When this news reached the ears of the three groups, it made them feel that the current situation was extremely troublesome. If they could choose their opponent, they would never want to deal with such an unbreakable force!

But what exactly is their purpose?
What exactly was the meaning behind that bell ringing just now?

Li Yu looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

From any perspective, their current situation is terrible. Not only do they lack intelligence, but they can't even break through the enemy's shield. It's hard to imagine what the enemy is planning... Currently, it seems the enemy has no interest in them. Once they free up their resources, how will they deal with them? What preparations should they make now? Should they just wait here?
……

Li Yu's attack on the mothership went unnoticed by Shen Jing, who was standing on the top deck. Li Chunfeng, though noticing the breach in the first energy shield, paid no attention. He simply watched silently as his disciple Shen Jing was about to open the "door," his heart pounding with excitement.

A thousand years ago, when the Diviners Alliance was established, he had already envisioned this scene before him.

At this moment, although I didn't open that door with my own hands, being able to witness this moment is enough to fulfill my wish.

"Lord Yuan, at this moment, our two long-cherished wishes are about to be fulfilled."

"We are about to receive a gift from the ancient times."

"Human civilization has gained the opportunity to coexist with natural disasters."

At this moment, as the chimes faded into the distance...

The space above Yaochi began to distort.

It seemed as if the gates to another world were about to open, as if two worlds were about to merge. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color; even the three brightest days of the year could not overshadow the brilliance of this moment. The distorted space grew increasingly intense in color, and the pressure changes caused by the spatial distortion created a strange wind in this once calm place. These air currents collided and rubbed against each other, producing ethereal sounds like the playing of a flute.

The azure sky began to change color, evolving towards gold.

And just as the golden light reached its peak, the gate truly revealed its true form to the world.

Thunder roared like drums, as if the heavens and earth were playing a melodious tune.

The golden light enveloped the edge of the distorted space. From within the door, a massive surge of energy poured out, cascading down like a waterfall, splashing onto the energy shield, flowing into the inner barrier, forming a river on the mothership's deck, and then plunging down into the Jade Pool.

The energy here is extremely concentrated. That energy merges into the emerald green lake water, scattering into dust, creating a hazy, dreamlike, and dazzling scene that is intoxicating.

In this golden world, staircases extend downwards from the sky, and colossal pillars, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, emerge on either side of the staircases. The staircases ascend all the way to the top, where palaces and buildings stand, the most imposing of which is enormous.

Even at this height, it is still clearly visible.

The two worlds were truly linked together under the guidance of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"Is this... the first level of the Nine Heavens?"

"It's actually like this."

"The Queen Mother of the West...is she here?"

Li Chunfeng had already left the bridge and was floating towards the steps. The Heavenly Gate had now opened, and what he wanted to do was to meet the being from mythology and legend.

The steps in the sky seemed illusory, but they were actually solid ground beneath his feet. He climbed them step by step, slowly walking towards the scene he had longed for.

Shen Jing saw his master ascending to heaven. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, unable to utter a single word. Although it was just opening a door, it was still an immense burden for Shen Jing, who had no training...

However, his breathing was quickly stopping.

Even Shen Jing himself didn't realize that under the scouring of that energy river, his body was rapidly gaining benefits... those forces were quickly opening up his meridians, and the most important thing for a diviner, the connection between heaven and man, was becoming clearer and clearer.

He watched the figure ascend into the sky, momentarily lost, unsure of what to do next. However, this grand scene held little appeal for Shen Jing… After recovering for a while, he stood up and walked back towards the elevator he had come from.

……

Yanjing.

Zhou Shan, who was sitting in his office handling some business, suddenly stood up and looked towards the west in surprise.

"This is……"

He frowned, then immediately pressed a button on the holographic screen on his desk, contacting Wang Xuejun from the technical team.

"Is there anything unusual over in Kunlun?"

Wang Xuejun seemed to confirm for a moment, then replied, "No abnormal warnings were received... Should we check? What exactly is it?"

The Kunlun Mountains cover a vast area, so of course we need to know their exact location. However, Zhou Shan only vaguely sensed the appearance of a tremendous force and could not provide the specific location.

"Contact the Ministry of War."

"Confirm the situation as soon as possible."

"Also, notify the Kunlun Command Center to evacuate as soon as possible, regardless of whether there are any problems now." (End of Chapter)
