After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Qin Liangyu coldly warned that the mutated beings in Philadelphia were absolutely not to be harmed.

Chen Futu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

If she hadn't said anything, I really wanted to kill a bunch of high-level mutants in the middle of the night and seize the crystal cores. But now it seems impossible. If I really dared to make a move, I'd probably be thrown out of Philadelphia by Qin Liangyu.

As her husband, Chen Futu didn't want to lose face.

However, there is still a question: how many mutants can she control?

Qin Liangyu saw through Chen Futu's thoughts and said, "I can only control the mutated beings that I have corrupted, that's all."

Chen Futu suddenly realized that she had been controlled by the little monster before, so she had indeed retained her powers. The powerful people she corrupted could be controlled by her. In other words, once they were all dead, she would corrupt them again. Therefore, she might be able to target ordinary people.

"Don't worry, I'm not that bored. This many mutants are enough. Next, I will sweep away the other mutants, seize their crystal cores to help them advance. I want to become the ruler of this heavenly world, and I want to be the only specialized empress in all eternity."

"Brilliant."

Chen Futu immediately gave a thumbs up and abandoned his mischievous thoughts. However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Mo Lan hiding on a rooftop.

"She was there too, could it be..."

Chen Futu suddenly realized that Mo Lan was planning to follow Qin Liangyu.

Fine, let's just pretend we don't know. Otherwise, she'll run away again, and we won't have anywhere to look for her.

As for how to restore Mo Lan to normal, Chen Futu currently has no clue and can only wait until the system upgrade is complete.

In the following days, Qin Liangyu was busy with abstraction. She actually controlled the mutated beings to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in Philadelphia. If Chen Futu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that these monsters would actually follow orders and work, and that none of them would slack off. They didn't even need to eat; they only needed to consume crystal cores. It was simply outrageous.

Qin Liangyu said proudly, "Envy them, these guys are more loyal than soldiers on the battlefield, and they would never disobey their commander's orders."

"Whatever makes you happy. By the way, what are your plans to do against the Heavenly Court?"

Chen Futu guessed that the Heavenly Court would be attacking in the next couple of days, hence the question.

Qin Liangyu said coldly, "If they dare to invade Philadelphia, I will slaughter them all and then seize their resources and people."

"You want mutants to live together with humans? Aren't you afraid something will happen?"

"I am the king, and everyone obeys my orders. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

The Qin Liangyu before us is ultimately just an evil corpse, with a single-threaded mind and the strongest belief in force.

Chen Futu was speechless and could only watch as she caused trouble.

Three days later, the system upgrade was completed.

Chen Futu sat cross-legged in the room, listening to the system announce the rewards, while Qin Liangyu exchanged some daily necessities from Chen Futu and did not disturb him. It is worth mentioning that as an independent evil corpse, she could actually use the regional channel. She also gave herself a very annoying ID called "Empress of the Heavens". Mo Lan's ID was "Wandering Man".

"System upgrade complete, regional channel coverage expanded to 30,000 li."

"System upgrade rewards are issued, the research area of ​​the villa is unlocked, the host receives one random summoning card, and the host receives one clue from the heavens."

"Check the clues." Chen Futu didn't use a summoning card; he immediately inquired about the details of the incident.

The system immediately retrieved the information panel. Chen Futu looked at the information listed on it in surprise. After the system upgrade, it had seized a part of the worldview of the heavens. What was in front of him was just the tip of the iceberg. It detailed the calamity brought by Qin Liangyu's evil corpse and the inside story of the existence of the spirits.

In short, the Celestial World has a distinction between ordinary tidal waves and specialized tidal waves.

Ordinary frenzy is caused by natural or human factors, while specialized frenzy is dominated by a distorted will of heaven and earth.

The little monster that controls Qin Liangyu is called E, which means illness, while Liang, as a specialized form, means chaos.

It's just that Liang died somewhat unjustly. Normally, Chen Futu wouldn't have been able to defeat Liang, but he tricked and killed him with the Red Poison Ore. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him at all.

"Therefore, I can absorb the crystal core of the demon and obtain its power."

"Yes, if the host acquires more specialized powers, it may be possible to access the secrets of the core of the Celestial World in the future, or perhaps reverse all of this," the system said.

"Alright, I'll absorb the crystal core of the demon now."

Chen Futu took out the specialized crystal that he had stored for a long time. "Since it is a specialized crystal, after absorbing it, I may enter the ninth level and obtain a specialized power similar to the 'Vertical Calamity Technique'. I hope it is a powerful skill and not as useless as the 'Vertical Calamity Technique'."

After much deliberation, Chen Futu decided not to use a summoning card to protect himself, because the summoned character was not commensurate with his own rank. It would be better to become stronger before summoning, for example, now that he might advance in rank, it would be too wasteful to summon a peak eighth-rank character.

In the following period, Chen Futu began to focus on absorbing the crystal core and had the system shield him from external noise to avoid interference.

Little did he know that no sooner had he gone into seclusion than the Heavenly Army arrived at his door.

This time, the Heavenly Court sent more than 3,000 people, truly displaying their full strength. Moreover, they brought more than 20 heavily armed vehicles, seemingly prepared for a protracted war.

At the very front was a flashy pink RV. If Chen Futu were here, he would definitely go and see what it was all about. It was a product of Earth's technological tree, not something that this world would have.

Looking into the car, a brightly dressed girl was gnawing on a chicken wing, mumbling, "Old Dian, are we there yet?"

Dian Wei scratched his head and said, "We've arrived, but no one's come out. Aren't you scared?"

"You're right to be afraid. The Heavenly Court that I personally built is not something that these Tom, Dick, and Harry can mess with. Dian Wei, you beat that son of a bitch to a pulp later."

"Alright, my twin halberds are itching for a fight."

Dian Wei stopped the RV and picked up his double halberds from the side, looking extremely excited.

There were three other people nearby, an elderly person and two children.

The young couple had smiles on their lips; both were at the eighth level and were part of the Heavenly Court's management.

The girl, named Cao Wenwen, uses an energy gun, and the man, named Cao Bin, uses a long gun. They are siblings.

As for the old man, he appeared to be in good spirits, but he was a genuine ninth-level expert and a strategist for the Heavenly Court, named Zhou Xun.

They hadn't anticipated this crisis in Philadelphia; they just didn't know who was in charge in Philadelphia now.

The convoy stopped at the south gate of Philadelphia, and Chen Ranran jumped onto the roof of the building and shouted, "Form ranks!"

The Heavenly Army soldiers shouted and quickly formed ranks, their roars shaking the heavens and displaying great power.

Chen Ranran was very satisfied with this. After all, she was one of the Emperor's beloved disciples and had been learning from the local people in Lizhou. She had some skill in training troops, and the three thousand men she brought today were the Heavenly Court's elite trump cards.
