Li Ling knew that ever since he occasionally mastered the True Sunfire skill in the game—or even earlier when the game had integrated systems for martial arts, talents, and divine abilities—it had been detecting players’ physiques and the unique energy within their bodies to simulate and enhance the martial arts and innate powers they possessed.

The red beam broke free from the constraints of the buildings, shooting straight into the sky, painting half the heavens crimson. It resembled the dawn of Asgard, and yet also mirrored its sunset.

After resting briefly at the military camp, everyone prepared to transport the corpse overnight to the Keystone Courtyard, a specialized institution dedicated to biological dissection and research, for processing.

Lin Ye’s heart remained calm; he calmly shut down his computer and lay down to sleep.

Murong Li helplessly tapped her forehead; she suspected that she had deliberately provoked Murong Zhen by seeing him delay releasing Hu Liniang, hoping to hasten the reunion between Hu Liniang and Elder Qing, wasn’t that right?

His voice hoarse and ragged, Li Yi was draped in a luxurious black brocade robe. Yet, seeing how the robe clung to his body, one could imagine the hardships he endured on his journey back to the capital.

The road ahead was paralyzed, the surface damaged; buses, taxis, and private cars were bumper to bumper, immobile. This congestion made it impossible for military and rescue vehicles dispatched to aid the situation to move forward.

Zhuo Mufeng was about to rest when he suddenly received a report from someone at the Wu residence, saying that Wu Guanting urgently summoned him back home. Knowing the gravity of the matter, Zhuo Mufeng did not dare delay and hurriedly followed.

Tears streamed down as Li Cuihua looked particularly pitiful at this moment, but the words she spoke made the Zhao family’s expressions shift simultaneously. Zhao’s father and Madam Wang both turned to look at Su Jin and Zhao Ziheng.

Once this form of punishment was inflicted, silicon-based humans could even have their consciousness stripped away, remodeled, and then have their bodies recreated.

Hao Xin shivered with a chill. When had this cold-faced demon learned to act coquettishly? And what was this about eating vegetarian for so long, feeling empty, lonely, and cold? Such things were hardly suitable to say in public.

Orpheus furrowed his brow slightly and sharply commanded an enhancement of his energy shield. Yet the frenzied Lei Lei, glowing red all over and filled with ferocity, paid no heed, raising her hand once more as if drawing upon all her strength to strike again.

As a vampire, Yue Li’s eyes were black, faintly shimmering with a red glow. When feeding, her fangs would elongate, and her eyes would turn dark red, even blood red.

“Even so, as a council member, to not appear at the council for over half a year is simply unacceptable, isn’t it?” Euge took every opportunity to launch verbal attacks at Murong Chen.

Facing this horrifying scene, the Soviet army could neither fight back nor easily flee. Especially since the Soviets, wary of any schemes from the Chinese forces, had concentrated large numbers of troops, resulting in the atomic bomb explosion killing over 300,000 soldiers.

Originally, Zhang Jun, who had not died in pursuit of an official position for Liu Bei due to Jiang Qi’s intervention, still could not escape fate and died at Jiang Qi’s hands.

“Could it really be a plan to bring all humanity to the ultimate destination unscathed?” Adam’s youthful bravado was evident, and his surprise at Tianjing’s proposal briefly broke through the oppressive aura.

Hao Xin felt embarrassed. “Alright, I’ll give it a try first.” After all, having an opportunity was better than none.

With the pride and honor of a soldier, Zhao Zhigang returned to China. He received a personal audience with the Chief of the General Staff, only then learning that the old unit was actively preparing the first mountain special forces team in the western region.

Within a short time, Qin Feng issued consecutive combat orders, decisively and without hesitation. The unrestrained killing intent emanating from him surged wildly, filling everyone present with the unmistakable scent of a bloody battle about to erupt, where corpses would lie thick on both sides.

As she pondered, Zhang Man felt a shiver of fear; she sensed the house was strange, as if something had been watching them all along.

I was stunned—was it really necessary? He only wanted to humiliate the Zhuang family; how could he jeopardize his own son’s happiness for that?

No sooner had the words fallen than others in the dining hall hurried over, including many familiar to Lin Jiajia, such as Xu Bo and Fu Yiyan, and of course Fu Shijin and her mother Lin Shuangxi who had come along.

When I was invited in, they were chatting and laughing. I quietly furrowed my brow, a thought flashing through my mind.

Hearing that my mother didn’t believe what I said, I grew anxious and blurted out the scene I witnessed that afternoon—seeing Old Master Li’s spirit depart.

Only when the elevator numbers rose did Lin Jiajia release the button. Her mind was in chaos; all the decisions she had sworn to steadfastly uphold now wavered.

Lin Jiajia did not tell her mother that she had already repaid her previous debts, partly to avoid probing questions about how she managed it, and partly to prevent her mother from borrowing even more recklessly.

“I’m really fine.” I wrapped the blanket tighter around me. Though I said so, my body couldn’t help trembling, making my words utterly unconvincing.

Before, she thought she still had choices—whether to marry Ye Lishang or Jiang Siyin, since her father had long promised she could choose her own future husband.
