Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1551 Each Thinking Their Way in the Face of Calamity
The advisors thought about it and concluded that if they could really learn about the movements of the extraterrestrial demons anytime and anywhere through Mr. Jia, then the advantage would be enormous.

As for how many demons can be annihilated, that's another matter. The key is to be targeted, which will prevent more casualties.

Of course, this is all predicated on the person being trustworthy.

Judging from Dai Xuming's statement that he had received Tian Shu's approval, it seems that he can be trusted.

It's impossible for that person to fabricate this information, since each advisor is able to communicate directly with Tian Shu, making it very easy to verify.

This changed the attitude of some consultants, who were now inclined to give it a try.

Pure faction members like Gao Geliang and Tie Yinyang were very resistant to such things, but they knew that there was a group within both the advisory group and Tian Shu that preferred to cooperate with some extraterrestrial beings.

There are many extraterrestrial demons, and it would be difficult for them to resist on their own. Therefore, uniting with those beings who are benevolent towards them, or taking advantage of the conflicts between the demons themselves to resist external enemies, is indeed a good way to use their strength against them.

Even if there is no cooperation, there is no need to push the party that is not hostile to them into the other party's arms. This is actually a choice that is unavoidable when one's strength is weak.

However, the purists are not actually satisfied with this approach because they feel that some people are communicating too deeply with the other side.

However, this involves a major strategic struggle between the upper echelons, which is beyond their control. Therefore, although Gao and Tie were dissatisfied, they did not say much at the moment.

Seeing that no one objected, Dai Xuming smiled and said, "Do any of you advisors have any further questions?"

Chen Chuan then looked up and asked, "Mr. Jia, when did you come here?"

When Mr. Jia saw him asking a question, he turned around and said, "I arrived here the day before yesterday. In order to prevent the information from being leaked, the advisors prevented me from going out. It was only today, after defeating the extraterrestrial demons, that the news I brought was confirmed. And since it was during a meeting, I was able to come out and meet with the advisors."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. The other party arrived on the very day he returned from the sea, which was also the day he was notified of the meeting. The timing seemed somewhat coincidental.

Considering what Gu Xuanbin and he had talked about before, if today's incident was to prevent him from making any big moves, then they really went to great lengths.

The current situation is that a powerful enemy is invading from the outside. If we can make contact with certain forces outside the heavens and obtain intelligence from them to prepare in advance, then the role of those groups that frequently communicate with the outside world will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

If he were to eliminate all these people himself, those extraterrestrial groups would likely no longer trust his sincerity in cooperating, and Tian Shu would not even allow him to do so.

However, he was more inclined to believe that the conservatives had already made arrangements in this regard, and at this moment, they went with the flow and put this person in the forefront to stabilize the situation. If he were to go against the tide now, he would be going against the established trend.

His expression was calm and unwavering. He certainly wouldn't make a move right now. His cultivation hadn't yet reached its peak. If he were to act now and things got stuck, he might be blocked by the higher-ups, and he would repeat the mistakes of the previous ones.

When he really decides to take action, he will do so with overwhelming force, giving them absolutely no chance to retaliate.

He looked at Mr. Jia again and asked another question:
"Since Mr. Jia is a visitor from outer space, I would like to ask, from your perspective as people from outer space, when should the collision between our two worlds generally occur? I would like to hear your opinion."

Mr. Jia seemed very composed just now, but when he heard the question asked, he clearly became serious.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Esteemed advisor, the matters between these two realms have only been clarified by those above. As the timeframe seems uncertain, based on the clues I have obtained, it is expected that an extraterrestrial force will infiltrate your world around the fifth to seventh month of your celestial calendar."

Upon hearing this, the advisors all looked thoughtful, as this timeframe was roughly in line with their previous assessment.

It's already early March, so even with the most optimistic estimate, they only have about four months left. But if we're pessimistic, they'll probably face the initial clash in about two more months.

Although they knew this day would eventually come, seeing it now still weighed heavily on their hearts.

Humanity has been preparing for this since the very beginning of the Grand Alliance, but they are not sure if they can survive this catastrophe.

Chen Chuan was also considering that if he were to take the shortest timeframe of two months, he would need to reach his peak within that period.

His foundation far surpasses that of other fighters at the same level, and improving it will undoubtedly require more energy, which may put a bit of a tight timeframe. It's uncertain whether he can achieve it within this timeframe.

On second thought, putting all that aside for now, the Great Collision wouldn't happen overnight. It would start somewhere and then gradually expand. Theoretically, the closer the two worlds are, the more energy he can absorb, and the greater the possibility of breaking through the limits. So this is both a calamity and an opportunity.

After he stopped speaking, the other advisors raised some questions, most of which were about the extraterrestrial demon group.

However, Mr. Jia did not reveal much about his own situation, but he did mention that Li Fuyuan was not alone; he had several collaborators around him, who were probably people who had escaped from the material world in the past.

Among them were not only those from the Great Shun Dynasty, but also ancient deities and even the upper echelons of kingdoms that had been destroyed in the past. They even joined forces to subdue some great demons, thus forming their own faction.

After hearing this, Chen Chuan couldn't help but feel that those who came from the material world and achieved high-level power seemed particularly assertive. After most of the advisors had been questioned, the advisory group tacitly acknowledged Mr. Jia's existence.

However, before he left, Tie Yinyang said to the man, "I'll be keeping an eye on you."

Mr. Jia seemed unconcerned, and instead cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Tie Yinyang.

Dai Xuming glanced at it and smiled slightly.

The meeting was nearing its end, and after Dai Xuming gave a final announcement, the advisors gradually left.

Before leaving, Chen Chuan glanced at Han Yang and took the opportunity to contact him, mentioning the technical tracing issue they had discussed last time.

Han Yang said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Consultant Chen, I have a big project coming up recently, and I need to devote all my energy to it. Sending out a clone might affect my concentration. If you're not in a hurry, Consultant Chen, please give me a few more days. I'll make arrangements and come find you."

Chen Chuan said, "Advisor Han, there's no rush. You can take care of your business first."

As for the other implantation consultant, he was said to be even more reclusive. He had never dealt with this person before, and he figured that this person's situation was pretty much the same as Consultant Han's, so he didn't bother to ask any further questions.

After leaving Danxin Hall, he returned to the field space. Since Mingchengzi had sent a message saying that he would return in a day or two, and the time was about right, he simply waited there.

In the afternoon, news arrived as expected: a fellow practitioner skilled in tracing secret rituals had been invited from the Duanchen Sect, so he instructed Mingchengzi to bring the person here.

He came out of the room and walked to the top floor of the building. Just a minute or two later, two beams of light entered the space and landed in front of him.

Standing next to Ming Chengzi was a short, stocky Xuan Shi with a kind and gentle appearance.

Ming Chengzi stepped forward, bowed to Chen Chuan, and said, "Xuanji, this is fellow Daoist Yin Zhenzi of the Duanchen Sect."

Yin Zhenzi smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Chen Xuanji."

Chen Chuan returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "Master Yin Zhenzi, I'm sorry to have troubled you to come out of the mountains and disturb your cultivation."

Yin Zhenzi repeatedly said he dared not, as their Duan Chen Sect had previously been told by their ancestor that they should cultivate good relations with the Great Shun Dynasty, but such a deep connection with the current dynasty did not conform to the sect's principles.

However, maintaining a good relationship with Chen Chuan is undoubtedly a good way to communicate, so as not to be too far from Da Shun, nor too close.

He said, "My Duanchen Sect's methods may not be much better than the Fulong Sect's. This time, Mingcheng sincerely invited me, so I tried my best. I hope Xuanji will not blame us for showing off."

After exchanging a few polite words outside, Chen Chuan invited the person in and took out the remains of the three-eyed infant for them to see.

Yinzhenzi stepped forward and examined it, saying, "It is indeed the power of a heretical demon god."

After examining the remains, he discussed it with Ming Chengzi and asked Chen Chuan for a suitable location. After making some preparations, he placed the remains in the center and began to set up a secret ritual.

Chen Chuan did not leave, but stood aside and observed.

During his time at the Tianji Sect, he had actually obtained the corresponding secret rituals, but it seemed that his spiritual power was insufficient to complete the rituals.

Now I'm curious to see how Yinzhenzi will resolve this matter. After watching for a while, I realized that they have two different approaches.

His ritual required the intervention of higher-level forces or near-higher-level forces to proceed, while this ritual utilized the higher-level forces that were originally present in the remains.

Because once this power is used, traces will be left in the places it passes through for a certain period of time. In addition, if it is a demon god with an additional purpose, such as the Three-Eyed God, then it will even try to deepen these connections. If the ritual follows these, it is very likely to find various related clues.

With no shortage of high-quality materials, the ceremony proceeded smoothly and was completed by evening. After checking the arrangements, Mingchengzi and Yinzhenzi initiated the ceremony, and soon light emerged from the remains located within the secret ritual chamber.

Chen Chuan looked over and saw scenes reflected inside.

The scenes were chaotic and fragmented, with time and space almost entirely disrupted. This was a minor matter for him, and he didn't need to put in any effort himself; he could simply let Kaiyang take care of tidying things up.
