Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Realm of Abundance Springs

The bridal chamber lay empty, red candles weeping wax. The two of them faced each other in silence, one standing beside the table, the other sitting on the edge of the bed.
However, limited by the knowledge inherited from the ancient wizards, Ankara could not determine exactly what an artificial magical network was. She could only sense the changes it brought to the surrounding environment. Although Stephen had not activated the antimagic domain, Ankara was so powerful that the moment she entered the area, she faintly sensed its existence.
After a fierce slaughter, the corpses of more than five hundred guards finally left the workers trembling and collapsing to the ground. Even Dr. Falklin’s mind was thrown into confusion. It was not until they saw Lucar’s body in the secret chamber that the scientists realized the mighty Lucar had already died.
Nan Shu handed everything over to Sun Mo to deal with, then walked toward him. From the moment she approached, his gaze had remained fixed on her, never once straying away.
So this top student, a graduate of a prestigious university, had been eliminated before he could even catch up with Chen Feng, who had failed the college entrance examination?
The Grand Elder had been gravely wounded by the Star of Doom during the Dark Year. From that time onward, signs of age had begun to appear on him day by day. When a martial monk began to grow old, it meant that his remaining time was running short. The Grand Elder had already endured until nearly the limit, and Arundo the Tree Shepherd had long foreseen that his days were numbered.
The last mission world had been exceedingly strange. She had transmigrated into a frail cannon-fodder character who possessed no abilities and suffered from congenital heart disease.
“Hmph! Everyone has moments when they misjudge someone.”
Dai Liangyue replied irritably and bent down to sit.
“Yes, Young Mistress.”
Mei’s voice was naturally deep, but when she imitated a cat, she sounded rather like the old cat kept in the household.
“Heh... Your Majesty, I’m afraid these two government offices have already been reduced to ruins.”
Chen Che spoke with complete composure. The content of his words, however, was so shocking that laughter rose among the others once more. No one believed what he had said.
The enemy vanguard consisted of three forces of reanimated corpses, numbering no fewer than twenty thousand in total. Though the three groups were clearly distinct rather than united as one, they coordinated with one another and formed mutually supporting formations. If those three armies were allowed to reach them, the situation would become difficult to control, and the soldiers’ casualties would increase greatly.
Yet it was completely unable to shake the Annihilation Hand. The spaces caught within its grasp exploded one after another, but the one injured was Xing Jian himself.
“What?”
Yun Xuan had been lost in thought when he suddenly heard Xiuyan speak softly beside him. He asked curiously, “What is it?”
“Niezi, what the hell is wrong with you? You brought this dog out before training it properly? Could it be that it didn’t even inherit half of Carbon Ball’s intelligence?”
Liu Junwei looked at the Flame-Treading Qilin, which appeared majestic on the surface, and spoke with undisguised suspicion.

The bloody lesson completely dispelled any lingering hopes of good fortune in the French paratroopers. By the time they reached the defensive zone, night had already fallen. Without even stopping for dinner, they threw themselves into digging trenches. Everyone worked with all their strength. The officers did not need to issue orders; the soldiers were perfectly capable of constructing the fortifications according to the strictest standards.
“You white men really are something...”
The guide seemed so furious that he had nothing left to say. At that moment, the sound of whistles summoning the troops came from the mountain pass. Faintly, they could also hear an officer shouting and urging his men on. They had evidently heard the cries and were mobilizing troops to investigate.
“Uncle Xie, we don’t need to get sentimental today, all right? Sister-in-law is sitting right beside us too. It’s enough that we understand each other.”
Li Zhonghe smiled.
Just as Feilian was forming this thought, a sudden chorus of croaking rang out from the sky.
Doris’s entire body was ice-cold. Although she still stared at Tang Xin in open opposition, she could no longer utter a word.
When he awoke, the situation had changed dramatically. The Japanese conglomerate was thrown into panic, but Watanabe Hirotsugu showed no sign of confusion.
In his hand, he still gripped a blazing divine sword that continuously transmitted waves of unbearable agony.
She rarely showed this side of herself before him. Even when she had been wounded so badly, she had remained stubborn in his presence—so stubborn that she had infuriated him.
But they were also their seniors. If they merely wanted to obtain some information, how difficult could it possibly be?
“Collapsed Jade!”
The moment Hitsugaya Toshiro saw the stone, the words escaped him.
Buying property in Xiangjiang? Zhang Jin had never considered it. Even after becoming wealthy, he would probably develop his business on the mainland, just as Lin Baixin had.
“A forty-meter saber—and he can actually carry it.”
Jiang Numo removed his glasses and calmly wiped them. Yet during a report lasting less than five minutes, the glasses had fallen from his hand three times. If the carpet on the floor had not been so thick, the lenses would already have been shattered into glass fragments.
The two brothers could not tell whether their father was truly angry. They simply lowered their heads, admitted their mistake, and remained silent.
For all I knew, Sister Mei’s father had decided I was some rich second-generation heir and thought I was deceiving her daughter’s feelings.

The two lines that stood out most vividly were: “In dawn dreams, Zhuangzi lost himself among butterflies; in spring longing, the cuckoo carried Wangdi’s heart.”
“Since you’ve come, you may as well stay. Mir, finish it quickly.”
Sima Youyue’s voice carried a hint of languor, yet within that languor she claimed the life of a powerful foe.
“Hiss...”
The God of Wood could not help drawing in a sharp breath. He stared dumbfounded at the headless body of the God of Spirit Soil as it toppled to one side with a heavy thud. All those rock-hard muscles had been utterly useless.
After seeing the white battle suits accented with red and silver-gray, he immediately recognized the members of the Victory Team.
“The young master left you plenty of food. Take your time and eat.”
Yunhan tidied the table a little and placed several delicious dishes in front of her.
The battle was over, but for this world, it was merely the beginning of humanity’s new journey.
The fighting in Runan had temporarily subsided, but supplying provisions for an army numbering several hundred thousand—or even more than a million—remained a serious problem. Although Li Yang had entrusted the matter to the Suolong Merchant Association, he could not simply ignore it himself. The New Year was also fast approaching, and once the celebrations ended, they would have to face Xuanyuan Honglie in battle.
However, the Black General had not brought the two of them any good news. It spread its wings and flew up the hillside, but did not land. Instead, it circled back and forth around the slope, continuing to fly without pause.
Yang Guang asked Li Yuer to return to the courier station and rest. He then summoned all the generals to the command headquarters, where they discussed the precise date for crossing the river to attack Chen, as well as the deployment of troops and other matters.
Although Gluttony’s devouring ability was terrifying, once the eye on its abdomen opened, a ravine would appear directly ahead of it, one hundred meters long, as though that entire stretch of ground had been devoured.
