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

Li Chunfeng didn't quite understand what the Queen Mother of the West meant by "naivety," but that didn't matter to him. Regardless of how she saw him, she had no way out now. These gods who lived in the Nine Heavens had to stand on the same side as humans.

It seems that the Queen Mother of the West also knew Li Chunfeng's specific thoughts.

Her voice continued to come:

"We will not provide any assistance."

Upon hearing this conclusion, Li Chunfeng frowned.

Even though the Nine Heavens have already re-established contact with humans, and they have no way out and can no longer cower in fear, why don't they offer help?

Just as Li Chunfeng was pondering in confusion, the Queen Mother of the West spoke next:
"You seem to have guessed it already. We left the mortal world and relied on Zhuanxu's power to sever the connection between heaven and earth in order to avoid the disaster that humanity will face in the future. Although mortals call us gods, we are actually human beings. The only difference is that we stand at a higher level and see a little further than mortals."

"We have seen the end of humanity, so we have chosen to live in seclusion."

"Li Chunfeng, why don't you think about this? Now that we've seen the end, why haven't we ever thought about changing anything in these two thousand years?"

Li Chunfeng frowned: "The end of the world is inevitable."

A clear, ethereal laugh came from the Queen Mother of the West: "Heh."

"Indeed, the end times are inevitable."

"From what you're saying, it seems you want humanity to coexist with the apocalypse?"

"I know that you mortals have been planning for the end of the world for a long time..."

"If even mortals are like this, why should we do nothing?"

"It's because we who live in seclusion have seen further than you mortals from the very beginning."

"We know that no matter how hard we struggle, it is an unchangeable fate."

"Your attempts, your arrangements, all of this is nothing but a futile struggle."

Hearing these words, Li Chunfeng's doubts deepened even further.

Was everything in vain?

If these words had come from someone else, Li Chunfeng would have naturally dismissed them with disdain.

But these words came from the mouth of the legendary Queen Mother of the West…

This forced him to take it seriously.

Li Chunfeng recalled the future he and Yuan Tiangang had seen together, and the prophecy he had written down himself.

"The bright moon rises high, cause and effect reverse, the divine realm descends, and humans will cease to be human..."

I only saw a corner of that apocalypse.

Although the exact cause of the apocalypse cannot be confirmed, the fact remains that it is about to arrive.

What did those scenes I saw in my daze back then—the magnificent deities descending from the sky, the bright moon hanging high above—represent?
Originally, Li Chunfeng thought that by opening the gate to the Nine Heavens and severing the barrier between the human world and the divine realm, he had already brought forward the prophesied "descent of the divine realm".

But what we see now, and what we hear from the Queen Mother of the West... seems to be a different story.

The "Gods Descend Plan" did not actually bring down the gods.

So what exactly is the true descent of the gods?
What kind of scene does the apocalypse look like in the eyes of these gods who reside in the nine heavens?
After a moment of disorientation, Li Chunfeng's somewhat wavering mind regained its composure.

He looked up at the enormous palace high above and insisted:

"Humanity needs to become stronger."

"If one is powerful enough to fight against disaster, then one can naturally find a way to coexist with the apocalypse."

"We need your knowledge and strength."

The Queen Mother of the West remained silent for a moment, then said, "That's fine too."

Li Chunfeng was somewhat surprised that she agreed so readily.

They just said they wouldn't offer any help, but now they've agreed? Isn't that unusual?
Before the Queen Mother of the West's words had even finished:

"The Nine Heavens originally sealed away calamities that humanity was powerless to resist, but now those calamity beasts have returned to the human world."

"Humanity could have enjoyed a peaceful and joyful time before this final catastrophe arrived, but your presumptuous actions have dragged humanity back into that chaotic world of constant warfare."

"In that case, it can be considered a test."

"Only two years remain until the end."

"Do as you please."

"I am in the ninth heaven, watching to see just how far you mortals can go."

As soon as the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, Li Chunfeng experienced a moment of dizziness.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the scene before him had changed.

They had already left the jade square in front of the huge palace and were standing on the shore of Yaochi Lake.

Li Chunfeng had no idea when the power was applied to him, nor did he know how he was kicked out of the Nine Heavens, let alone how to resist.

He looked up and saw the steps meant to ascend to heaven crumbling inch by inch, turning into a shower of light that fell down.

The gates to the Nine Heavens have been closed.

Even though he has reconnected the Nine Heavens with the mortal realm, the Nine Heavens are not places one can enter or leave at will.

Li Chunfeng was still pondering the words spoken by the Queen Mother of the West.

"Is she... waiting for the end of the world?"

"Even such a powerful being couldn't stop the apocalypse from coming?"

"Can't even coexist?"

Li Chunfeng originally thought that the gods hiding in the crevices of other dimensions had chosen to live in seclusion after foreseeing the end of the world.

But what he had just heard made Li Chunfeng realize that those ancient humans who had reached a certain level and become gods were not actually unwilling to do anything, but rather unable to do anything at all.

What kind of disaster was it?
"That's all."

He thought no more.

At this moment, what I need to do is remove the obstacle in my path. Although the negotiations I conducted in the Nine Heavens were quite different from what I had imagined, the main purpose of my trip to Kunlun was actually to resolve the major problem caused by that organization.

This time, the organization will not have any external assistance.

They didn't even know what the situation was like inside Kunlun, but right now, the timing and location were clearly favorable.

Victory is within our grasp.

Those mysteries and questions can be explored after the enemy is defeated.

He took a deep breath and turned to look at the opposite bank of the lake.

A group of people were standing on the opposite bank of the lake; they were the organization's field operations team.

If I remember correctly... Jia Er, Li Yu?

He beckoned with his finger towards the opposite bank of the lake.

Li Yu clearly saw the other party's actions, but these highly provocative actions did not elicit any reaction from Li Yu.

He didn't know who the other person was, but Li Yu knew that this person had just descended from the sky. Perhaps this was the one who caused the collapse of the heavens.

Li Yu certainly wouldn't be careless.

However, his spiritual power had already spread outwards.

The initial skirmishes of this battle have already sparked conflict, and a major war is about to break out.

……

The technical team has finally got everything ready.

Outside the massive mental energy field that could cover half of the Kunlun Mountains, they finally found the weakest point that was relatively easy to breach.

"found it!"

On the holographic screen in front of the technical team, half of the Kunlun Mountains and the enormous spiritual force field surrounding it were fully displayed. Within the hemispherical force field on the screen, the color transitioned from red to blue according to energy density, ultimately reaching a completely blue point on the southwest side.

"The energy density is lowest here! We can choose to break through here!"

This excited voice was immediately transmitted to the Kunlun Command Center.

Song Chen and the head of the command center received the message almost simultaneously.

Upon receiving the message, Song Chen immediately made a decision, and his instructions were instantly transmitted to every part of the long, winding queue.

"set off!"

Each group received operational instructions.

On the way to the weak point in the force field, the leaders of each group carefully read the operational objectives of this operation.

They have different mission specifications depending on the different operational objectives.

Shi Shan looked at the documents in his hand, his bald face filled with seriousness. As he read, he spoke to his teammates:
"Our goal is to find and destroy the force field generator."

One of the teammates looked at Shi Shan and said, "Captain, you're not going to refuse to kill again this time, are you?"

Shi Shan was silent for a moment, then said, "If the situation doesn't allow it, I won't hold back."

However, he also knew that this mission was actually a deliberate effort by headquarters to take care of him, but this was not the time to be willful. If his team members were to die because of his own actions, that would be the most indelible sin in his heart.

……

Chen Xingyang stared at the image on the screen in his hand and fell silent for a moment.

The space inside the car is a bit cramped.

The large equipment that the technical team had given them took up most of the space.

Even Yue Wen could only huddle in a corner, clutching his sniper rifle.

Someone in the group spoke up:
"Our highest level is only B-grade..."

"To be honest, I really don't think we can achieve anything on the battlefield."

"Captain Chen, what is our mission?"

Chen Xingyang paused for a moment, then put away the holographic screen.

Then he began to explain the mission details.

"Our mission is to plant the bomb and disrupt the force field."

"Our capabilities are limited; we should be operating around the battlefield..."

"Are there really so many people from Chuzhou here? Do you have to come with us?"

"Liu..."

The man said, "Liu Aishan."

"Don't worry, Captain Chen, I won't hold you back."

……

Each combat team has a completely different mission.

Besides those that disrupt mental fields and install signal base stations, there are also support teams, offensive teams, medical teams, and so on...

People like Meng Xing from the Chang'an organization, whose awakened memories are those of military strategists skilled in troop deployment, were given adaptability-oriented missions.

Their task is to take over on-site command from time to time without affecting the overall mission direction, and to independently report important intelligence to the command center...

This large-scale operation was an unprecedented, ultra-large-scale operation for the personnel involved in these organizations.

In the past, they had occasionally needed to coordinate with other teams during missions, but this was the first time they had participated in a mission of this scale. Thanks to the technical team's prior preparation, they were able to quickly integrate the on-site situation with the contingency plan and formulate operational arrangements suitable for these combat teams.

Intelligence is paramount in modern warfare. Although the soldiers involved are completely different from those in traditional warfare, intelligence remains central. The better one's grasp of the entire battlefield situation, the greater the advantage one gains…

Without the aid of the Ministry of War's satellites, everyone in each organization understood that they were launching this attack under completely unfavorable circumstances. Moreover, they had been notified before the battle that there was a possibility that enemies from the Divination Master Alliance were present in each of their teams.

This battle was incredibly difficult.

At this moment, in the Kunlun Command Center.

Lu Yuliang, head of the Kunlun Command Center, finally gave up trying to contact the Ministry of War, realizing that the Ministry of War was unlikely to respond.

He was staring at a completely black floor-to-ceiling screen...

Lu Yuliang's assigned task was to be the overall dispatcher.

Once the signal development teams have set up signal base stations, even if the mental field is not destroyed, they will still be able to grasp the specific situation within the field.

At this moment, the hall was in complete chaos, with people coming and going.

Although the operation was rushed, the people in the hall had been training and studying precisely for this moment. Each and every one of them displayed exceptional professionalism. What was initially thought to be a disruption caused by the chaos was, in fact, a result of their expertise – not only did it not slow things down, but it exceeded the original timeframe!

Lu Yuliang felt a little more at ease.

He shifted his gaze from the dark reflection on the screen and looked at the secretary beside him:

Have you contacted the machine dealership in Beijing?

The secretary nodded and then relayed Xu Shan's words truthfully: "Director Xu said that we can't rely on mechs for this operation."

Lu Yuliang's pupils contracted: "What?"

The secretary continued, "Although the first batch of mechs has been completed, there are still no pilots in the organization who can fly them."

"The training hasn't even started yet... This battle came too suddenly."

Lu Yuliang gritted his teeth.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Because of the incident caused by Lu Bin, the second phase of training, which was originally planned to start as soon as possible, has not yet begun. Even Mr. Zhou's long-determined major task of "publicly disclosing the existence of the organization to all citizens" has been repeatedly postponed. Already short-staffed, they have now encountered such a sudden battle.

The thought that those mechs, which should have shone brightly in this war, were now just sitting in the hangar gathering dust because of a lack of pilots... made Lu Yuliang's heart tighten.

Just as he was thinking this, a series of reports rang in his ears, breaking his thoughts:
"Kagami has arrived at the front lines on the Kaido!"

"Jia Shanglin Yuanhu has arrived at the front line!"

"Breakthrough Team One is approaching the weak point of the force field!!" (End of Chapter)
