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

"However, the fastest way to improve yourself is still through real-world practice."

"Similarly, the technical team has created an instrument that can more quickly determine one's current strength level."

"Now, in addition to the first rank, there are four more rank classifications: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow."

"The Heavenly Rank represents the highest combat strength, and it is also the highest combat strength that the instruments can identify."

"If one reaches the Heavenly Rank, then one is not far from becoming a god."

After Li Yu finished speaking, everyone looked puzzled.

"Celestial Rank? We haven't even reached the first rank yet, and now the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow ranks have appeared. When will we ever be able to upgrade to that?"

Emperor Wu looked up at the sky and sighed heavily.

"Don't be discouraged. Once Jiang Chuan recovers, you can go to the technical department together and find a strength testing device to test your current true strength."

"Just concentrate and pour your mental energy into it."

"So, Team Leader Li, what is your current strength level?"

"On the first floor."

This seemingly simple sentence stirred up a storm in their hearts.

My previous impression was that Team Leader Li's ability was Class A Level 2, but now he's been upgraded to Class A Level 3?

"Oh? Team Leader Li, you've already got your first coat! Congratulations!"

"Wow, you'll have to treat us to something nice tonight."

"It's all little things."

Li Yu smiled, then changed the subject and said to Jiang Chuan, "Jiang Chuan, if you have time, go and sit in Mr. Zhou's office."

Jiang Chuan's heart skipped a beat, then he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"You young people can chat here, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Li Yu got up and the others saw him to the door.

"Team Leader Li, please take care."

After the group returned, Jiang Chuan also regained consciousness and asked, "How's the mecha?"

Wu Zhen rolled his eyes. "It won't get lost."

"Don't even mention it. In the end, it was Brother He Teng who brought that mecha back. He couldn't control it, and it wobbled all the way back to the base. It's still being repaired now, and I heard the damage is quite serious."

Jiang Chuan nodded upon hearing this.

"Everyone, let's go together to the technical department and see what this so-called instrument is all about."

"Come on! Shall I carry you?" Wu Zhen said, bending over and making a shrimp crawling motion.

"Go to hell."

……

The technical team's office.

Jiang Chuan and his group frowned when they saw the long queue. "There are really a lot of people."

"Isn't that Lin Ci and Brother Zhu? Let's go and take a look ahead."

Hearing the conversation behind him, Zhu Chengzhu turned around and immediately waved.

"What! Jiang Chuan is awake?"

"Yes, he's awake. He's fine, he just needs some rest."

"You're something else, kid! You fought Li Chunfeng and supposedly seriously injured him!"

Jiang Chuan still felt some pain when Zhu Chengzhu's powerful thug struck him.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Chuan suddenly coughed. Zhu Chengzhu was shocked to see this and asked, "Kid, what's wrong with you!"

Wu Zhen was trying so hard not to laugh that he could hardly breathe.

"Hahaha... Brother Zhu, you fell for my trick last time, but you'll fall for it again this time!"

Zhu Chengzhu glanced at Wu Zhen, just then a sound came from inside the room.

"Next person."

Since the meeting, the technical team has been inundated with requests.

There are still quite a few people with A-level or higher qualifications in the institution, which is why it is currently crowded.

"Come on, Jiang Chuan, you go first."

Jiang Chuan was immediately pushed to the first position, and the others were curious about what level Jiang Chuan could be ranked.

Looking at the perfectly round instrument in front of him, Jiang Chuan poured all his spiritual power into his palm and then gently placed it on the instrument. The instrument's color flickered between light and dark.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was somewhat incredulous.

"Do you think Jiang Chuan will reach the top rank this time?" Li Yi asked cautiously.

"Who knows? The results will be out soon. They might be ranked as Grade 2?" Wu Zhen was also a little unsure.

"A-2? You underestimate Jiang Chuan. Let's make a bet. I bet on A-1."

"Let's bet, what do you want to bet?"

"I'll bet you a month's worth of meals!"

"make a deal!"

Hearing the two arguing, a golden light suddenly shone in the room.

Tester: Jiang Chuan.

"Upon assessment, the test subject's final strength is: Early Yellow Rank."

……

This caused a huge uproar within the technical team.

"What?! He actually set his sights on the early Yellow Rank!"

"Damn, I heard that Mr. Zhou has only reached the mid-stage of the Yellow Rank, while Jiang Chuan's strength is already almost on par with Mr. Zhou's?"

"I'll give it a try too, maybe I can get a thyroid test or something!"

The people standing behind them—Wu Zhen, Li Yi, Zhong Huahua, Zhu Chengzhu, and others—were all dumbfounded.

This explosion revealed a big one.

"Early stage of the Yellow Rank?"

Wu Zhen looked incredulous. He hadn't expected that Jiang Chuan would receive a rating of early Yellow Rank strength after the instrument's measurement.

Who would believe this!
I always felt like I was about to catch up with Jiang Chuan, but now it seems like I'm getting further and further away from him.

Li Yi and the others, however, appeared overjoyed.

"I knew it, Jiang Chuan didn't disappoint me! Early Yellow Rank, when will I ever reach the early Yellow Rank..."

Turning around, Li Yi made a face at Wu Zhen, "Hehe, now you have to treat me to meals for a month!"

"Pshaw, no problem, I can afford to treat you to meals for a month."

Jiang Chuan himself was also somewhat incredulous, wondering how he had actually reached the early stage of the Yellow Rank.
Thinking of that red and blue intertwined power, Jiang Chuan thought of the spiritual sea, and it seemed that he had absorbed some more power from the future.

However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the Heavenly Realm.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Jiang Chuan walked to the door.

Subsequently, everyone displayed their mental power and also received the latest level differentiation.

Wu Zhen, Class 2.

Li Yi, Class 4.

Zhonghuahua, Jia San.

Zhu Chengzhu, Class 2.

Lin Ci, Jia San.

Seeing these rankings, they couldn't help but feel happy, except for Wu Zhen, who looked rather worried.

"Alright, stop looking so gloomy. Treat us all to dinner tonight, and I'll reluctantly let you stop treating me to meals for a month." Li Yi winked at Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen wasn't a petty person, and laughed heartily, "Then it's settled!"

Jiang Chuan remembered what Li Yu had told him, so he said to everyone, "You all go first, I'm going to Mr. Zhou's office."

"okay."

Jiang Chuan arrived at the elevator again, took a deep breath, and then got on the elevator, heading all the way to the top floor.

The familiar scene reappeared, and Jiang Chuan vaguely remembered the topics that Zhou Shan had discussed with him last time.

In the very center, a man sat with his legs crossed, gazing into the distance.

“Mr. Zhou, you wanted to see me?” Zhou Shan slowly turned around and looked Jiang Chuan up and down.

"How are you feeling? Have you recovered?"

Jiang Chuan scratched his head and said with a smile, "Much better. Why did you call me here?"

"Sit down, sit down first, and tell me slowly."

Jiang Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

Zhou Shan got straight to the point.

"This anomaly has caused serious casualties for our organization."

Jiang Chuan's expression instantly turned serious, and then Zhou Shan continued, "Lin Yuanhu has sacrificed himself."

what! ?

Jiang Chuan was greatly alarmed.

Lin Yuanhu?
That was a top-tier expert, how could he possibly have been killed?

Zhou Shan couldn't help but sigh, "I just heard the news. On the way back, we encountered dozens of spirit practitioners from the Diviner Alliance and were eventually surrounded and killed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan clenched his fist again.

Diviners' Alliance.

Li Chunfeng.

"As you know, my awakened memory is of Zhuge Liang."

"However, this time, I can sense that the world is heading in an uncontrollable direction."

“I consulted Xu Shan, hoping he could use Jiu Xing’s abilities to predict the future, but Jiu Xing’s response to us was that it was unknown.”

"This also means that the previously mentioned two-and-a-half-year optical transmission time may arrive sooner."

"And this time, I sensed something was amiss."

"Li Yu witnessed Li Chunfeng being kicked out of another dimension and returning to this world."

"Another dimension?" Jiang Chuan asked, puzzled.

Did Li Chunfeng also go to the future?

He might not have that power, so the origin of this strange beast might even be that one of the ancient dragons descended to the human world.

Does this also mean...?

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Shan exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously, saying, "The Upper Realm?"

Zhou Shan nodded with some relief, "This time, it's very likely that Li Chunfeng went to the Upper Realm."

"The moment Li Chunfeng returned to the human realm, all the strange phenomena began to change drastically, and the beast tide became even more violent."

"A large amount of spiritual energy erupted from within Kunlun, causing these beast tides to become violent."

"I suspect that Li Chunfeng may have reached some kind of agreement with the Upper Realm, or perhaps he angered someone from the Upper Realm, which led to this situation."

Zhou Shan briefly recounted everything.

This time, Jiang Chuan seemed to remember that Li Chunfeng had mentioned to him the uncertainties of the future.

What if he reached some kind of agreement with the upper realm?
So the condition for the exchange is that you die?

"Or, their condition is me."

Jiang Chuan reviewed the whole story and finally came to a conclusion.

"However, things may be a little different."

Hearing Jiang Chuan say this, Zhou Shan was immediately puzzled. "Speak."

"I remember when I returned to the Diviner Alliance in place of my clone."

"Li Chunfeng once told me something."

"The existence of the Diviner Alliance is to get this world back on track."

“They believe in the Way of Heaven, but our organization is influencing the operation of the Way of Heaven.”

"Everything has its original trajectory to follow, and we just want humans to live longer, which has led to the emergence of these top-tier powerhouses to fight against the Heavenly Dao."

"This is the real reason why the Diviners Alliance has always been against us."

At this point, Zhou Shan fell silent.

In a sense, both sides started with the goal of human coexistence, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they ended up as opposing sides.

At that moment, Jiang Chuan's nerves seemed to be plucked.

He remembered his dream.

His dream about the future was still that chaotic world, with only Zhou Shan, He Teng, and Li Chunfeng by his side.

Could it be that?
"The Way of Heaven?"

"The distance between Heaven and us is getting closer and closer. I have a feeling that soon, the entire Upper Realm will descend upon the Human Realm. At that time, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control."

"Can we hold on for two years?"

Zhou Shan lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingers, pondering carefully.

"Oh, by the way, have you tested your abilities with the latest instrument testing?"

"I've been tested."

"What level?"

"Yellow Rank, Beginner Level"

Zhou Shan, who was about to drink water, almost dropped his cup. "What? You're already at the early Yellow Rank?"

"Yes."

Indeed, new talents emerge in every generation, and those who come after often surpass the old ones.

This long wave is about to crash me onto the beach.

"You brat, my strength is only at the mid-stage of the Yellow Rank. You'll catch up with me soon. It's time for me to step down from my position as the head of the department."

Jiang Chuan quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I wouldn't dare. You should be in charge. How could I possibly take on such a heavy responsibility?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhou Shan then immediately said seriously, "You should rest well for a few days. Since Li Chunfeng withdrew, the beast tides in Kunlun and other places have decreased significantly."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the next attack."

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I feel that the beast tide is not only surging towards us, but also towards the Diviner Alliance."

"It's just that we have information all over the Diviner Alliance, which is why this anomaly seems to be targeting us."

"You make a good point. Let us think about it some more. You should also attend the next meeting and speak up."

Ah!
Jiang Chuan was somewhat overwhelmed. He hated these kinds of polite words the most, but he couldn't refuse right now, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

"understood."

"Tonight, the organization's technical team will send the methods for improving your capabilities to your mobile phones. The main task for now is to improve your capabilities."

"Roger that!"

With that, Jiang Chuan disappeared from the office in a flash.

"This boy."

Then Zhou Shan sighed, "The fate of humanity rests entirely on your shoulders."

……

"Did you know? Jiang Chuan's rank is actually at the early stage of the Yellow Rank. You know, Mr. Zhou is only at the middle stage of the Yellow Rank!" Li Yi said to everyone.

"Really?" Tang Songming had just arrived from elsewhere and hadn't yet fully grasped all the information.

"How could it be fake? I saw it with my own eyes."

"Wu Zhen, now the gap between you and Brother Jiang is probably an insurmountable chasm."

"Tang Songming, I'll beat you to death! Come on, go and test your strength for me."

"Go, go! Did I say I wouldn't go?"

"Don't stand there and act all high and mighty."

"Jiang Chuan has arrived."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Chuan slowly walking towards them.

……

Within the Diviner Alliance.

Li Chunfeng closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to mobilize the still disordered mental energy within his body.

Although several days had passed, his mental energy had not yet fully recovered, causing a sense of anxiety and doubt to rise in his heart. (End of this chapter)
