About fifteen minutes passed.
Before the gates of the Prehistoric Dynasty in the Five Evil Realm, Yu Ming, Gu Chen, the Clown, and Jia Xin were already prepared.
Zhang Chen emerged from a side corridor of the imperial palace with Wang Yizhi. When the two appeared before the four in their current state, Jia Xin, carrying Xianglong on his back, felt a faint stir in his heart. Though he had long severed his ties to the mortal world and could remain unmoved by thoughts of his wife and child among humans, this sudden emotion still plunged Jia Xin into deep contemplation.
"Oh? Miss Wang Yizhi has truly recovered completely. From the looks of it, are you planning to accompany your husband onto the battlefield?" Yu Ming deliberately asked in a teasing tone.
"Yes. Wang Yizhi will act alongside me as my Deputy General." Zhang Chen nodded firmly.
"Today's celestial signs are not truly suited for war, but the current situation leaves us no choice but to sound the bells of battle. Bodhi likely will not launch the full-scale war for another hour. Since the five of us have fully recovered to our peak states, we should begin our preparations ahead of time. Head to the five designated node regions and take up concealed positions within five kilometers of each one."
As Yu Ming spoke, A Qin condensed into form and linked her arms around his. She would also provide full assistance in the coming war, and she deliberately waved in greeting to Wang Yizhi beside Zhang Chen.
"Everyone, make sure you show your true abilities. I, Yu Ming, may not be a perfectionist, but when it comes to something this crucial, I find failure very difficult to accept. We will dictate the course of this war from beginning to end.
