I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Then we'll meet on the ship. Someone will be looking for you."

"it is good."

......

After finishing some trivial matters, Yan Shan arrived at an unknown place and knocked on the door of a room.

"Wake up, get up, I have something important to tell you."

"Old Shan, what big thing has happened to you this time?"

The national leader straightened his clothes and came out to ask questions, showing no resistance to Yan Shan's late-night visit.

Such things are common in his position. From time to time, there are important matters that require him to handle overnight, and sleep can only be put aside to focus on handling national affairs.

Since they hold this position, they must bear the corresponding responsibilities, which is why national leaders generally have very little rest time.

"Call Lao Hai and the others first, I have something important to announce."

The national leader's expression turned serious, knowing that what Yan Shan was about to say was no small matter, and he quickly summoned the other four pillars of China through a special line.

Not long after, two more people appeared in the room of the Chinese leader, a man and a woman. The man was Qin Tianhai, and the woman was a beautiful woman who looked to be no more than twenty years old.

Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman. She's the only female ninth-level powerhouse in China, and her strength is not to be underestimated. She's also one of the pillars of China's superhumans.

Then, two more holographic projections appeared in the room, namely Huang Tao and Zhou Ye, the ninth-level expert who guarded Sichuan.

Huang Tao's arm has been healed by an eighth-level healer in China, and he looks energetic and lively, with no trace of the arm injury he suffered.

"Now that the key figures have all arrived, Senior Yan Shan, please stop beating around the bush. What is it that warrants such a large-scale mobilization?"

The beautiful woman said that her name was Mo Sheng, and she was Yan Shan's junior. When her strength was still low, she received a lot of help and support from Yan Shan. She respected Yan Shan very much and regarded him as her mentor.

Yan Shan coughed lightly and said:

"The sea serpent is dead."

"..."

Deathly silence.

"Lao Shan, are you sure? Who did it? Could it be those foreign guys?"

Huang Tao was the first to speak, his words revealing an expression of disbelief.

He is one of the most qualified people to speak on this matter. He had just faced death head-on not long ago and knows very well just how terrifying sequence-level mutated species are.

Moreover, the Grim Reaper had only just advanced to the Sequence level, yet they had already fought for so long. Just how strong must the Sea Serpent, which had been infamous for years, be?

Huang Tao simply couldn't believe that it had been killed by its foreign competitors.

"No, do you remember that person from two months ago? She's the one who killed the sea serpent."

The Chinese leaders and several ninth-tier experts were all shocked, and they all felt an inexplicable awe of Liu Mengxian's existence.

She is a super leader in the Soul Heaven Realm, and there may only be one like her in the world. It seems that she also defeated the Tyrant in the Yongjing Battle.

"Wow, she killed a sea snake. That's a big deal, but did she have to bring it up now?" Qin Tianhai asked.

He was at home instructing his grandson on how to make a good impression on Yan Ziming the next day when he was suddenly summoned here.

Little did he know that his grandson had already been rejected by Yan Zimo.

"The key issue is that she left the body to my good-for-nothing niece, and most importantly, she also left the crystal core!"

There was silence again.

"We're about to make a fortune again! Where is it? Let's go get it!" Zhou Ye realized and asked anxiously.

"Don't be in such a hurry to take it. Didn't you hear Senior Yan Shan say that he left all of this to his niece? Do you dare to take it so casually?"

Mo Sheng was very curious about what kind of person Yan Shan's niece was, that she could win the favor of that Soul Heaven big shot. The introduction on paper was too general, so it would be more convenient to find a time to meet her in person.

"That is a problem. I'll go ask her about it tomorrow..."

"No need, I've already discussed that with her. The only difficulty is how to retrieve it," Yan Shan said.

Where is it?

"A deserted island in the Pacific Ocean."

Chapter Twenty-Three: Circles Among the High-Ranking Officials

"In international waters? Trouble, trouble..." The Chinese leader frowned upon learning that the sea serpent's carcass was in international waters.

The high seas are not only the most active areas for mutated species, but also the places where these countries can legitimately conduct freedom of navigation. If their presence is exposed, they will inevitably have to deal with the other four major powers of the United Nations.

"We need to act quickly, preferably now, otherwise we'll suffer huge losses once those foreigners notice the slightest movement!" Zhou Ye said, frowning.

Since it involves a struggle against a Sequence-level being, the commotion will certainly be significant. Major powers may discover the strangeness of that sea area at any time, and then they will take action.

"Don't rush, the sea serpent didn't just die recently, it's been dead for several years, and no one has discovered it for so long, so we don't need to be in a hurry," Yan Shan added.

"Can't you just say it all at once, you old codger?!"

Qin Tianhai's temper flared up. "If you're going to say something, say it completely! What are you trying to do by splitting it up like that?!"

They were so startled and anxious!

"What nonsense are you spouting about a mere defeated opponent?" Yan Shan glanced at Qin Tianhai, his eyes full of mockery.

"You!!!" Qin Tianhai was furious.

There was nothing he could do; he had lost, and he accepted it.

Previously, he had other matters to attend to, so he was unable to learn about the crystal core that fell from the Grim Reaper immediately. He thought that even if Yan Shan had become stronger in the battle with the Grim Reaper, his strength was still limited.

But later, after learning that Yan Shan had absorbed the crystal core of the Grim Reaper, he raised Yan Shan's strength level to a new level.

I thought this was already giving him a lot of credit, but who knew that Yan Shan's strength would reach this level after absorbing all the knowledge?

It's only one step away from reaching the sequence level.

Just by releasing his aura, those S-level mutated species lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to move. Their arrogant appearance infuriated Qin Tianhai.

Previously, he only had a 30% chance of winning against Yan Shan, but now he has less than a 20% chance. In addition, the mountain unicorn that Yan Shan transformed into is relatively effective against his supernatural abilities, which has further reduced his chance to 10%.

"It's one thing to win, but it's wrong to brag about it in front of the person involved," Qin Tianhai retorted without hesitation.

"What are you so smug about? If you hadn't absorbed a sequence-level crystal core, I would have crushed you with one hand!"

"Heh, I'll give you a hand and a leg now. If you can beat me, I'll let my Zimo date your grandson, how about it?" (Yan Zimo: I'm so pissed off!!!)

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Qin Tianhai had no reason to refuse a daughter-in-law who came to his door.

"Old Shan is too arrogant... He thinks he can beat me with just one hand and one foot?"

No matter what Qin Tianhai does, he's still at the ninth rank, and Yan Shan is still at the ninth rank. Their levels are at least the same, and both possess the ability to move mountains and fill seas with a wave of their hand, capable of earth-shattering events. In a life-or-death battle, who is truly weaker than the other?

The battle between two superhumans is completely different from the battle against mutated species. Yan Shan has made such a big concession, so it's really hard to say who will win.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Mo Sheng quickly intervened to stop them.

"You two are both getting on in years, can't you be a little more mindful of your image? Senior Yan Shan, really, using your niece as a bet, even if it's a joke, don't go too far!"

"Ahem, it's because I'm confident of victory." Yan Shan coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed to be lectured by Mo Sheng, a junior.

"Don't go back on your word. Don't forget what you just said. If I win, your niece will have to..." Qin Tianhai said anxiously, but was glared at by Mo Sheng.

"Senior Tianhai, shouldn't the younger generation handle their own affairs? Your interference is not beneficial to anyone."

"I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? I heard you've been looking for a boyfriend for Mu Mu lately. If I tell her about this...aren't you afraid of going bald?"

Qin Tianhai shivered and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he would no longer argue with Yan Shan.

The Chinese leaders and Huang Tao and Zhou Ye, who were shown in the holographic projection, were both amused and exasperated.

Yan Shan and Qin Tianhai used to argue from time to time, which was the norm. Later, Mo Sheng advanced to the ninth level. She was still young and energetic, which diluted the stagnant atmosphere in their circle and made everyone feel younger.

In their eyes, although Mo Sheng was already a ninth-level expert like them and could be addressed as an equal, they would subconsciously treat her as a junior. Mo Sheng did not put on airs and always regarded them as seniors, showing them, especially Yan Shan, great respect.

Huang Tao couldn't help but tease:

"Mo Sheng! What a blessing it would be if any man were to marry you in the future!"

"Sure, but only if you can beat me, otherwise forget it." Mo Sheng blew on her fair, jade-like hand, the light swirling around it, as if time itself was flowing through her fingertips, dreamlike and ethereal.

"Haha, in the whole of China, apart from a few old guys like us who are over fifty, which man can beat you? You'll never get married like this!" Zhou Ye laughed.

The Chinese leader said helplessly:

"Don't include me in this. I can't beat her. I'm just an ordinary person."

"Oh, I forgot there's also a weakling here."

"Hey! How dare you talk like that? I don't like hearing that!"

"Alright, Lao Ye, I see you're no match for Mo Sheng now, so stop making fun of him," Yan Shan suddenly interjected.

"Hey, wait, Lao Shan, you're not kidding, are you?"

Zhou Ye asked incredulously, "Mo Sheng only entered the ninth level not long ago, how come she's already caught up with him?"
