At the summit of Mount Everest, Qin Hao appeared. Seeing that the surroundings had not changed, he did not linger. His body rose into the air, and he sped toward Jiangnan Base City.

His flying speed rapidly soared—one thousand meters per second, two thousand, three thousand—yet it continued increasing until it soon reached five thousand meters per second and gradually stabilized. This speed had already far surpassed Planetary Level Three. However, if he unleashed his domain, Qin Hao could increase his speed even further.

High in the sky, Qin Hao streaked past at high speed. Even flying Monsters did not dare approach him in the slightest. Under his extreme velocity, he soon arrived near Jiangnan Base City.

Meanwhile, inside the military base of Jiangnan Base City

"Warning! Warning! Warning! An unidentified flying object is approaching!"

"Activate the defense system. Lock on immediately. Prepare to attack at any time."

"Target being acquired..."

"It is a human. Analyzing target information. Target confirmed."

"Which Beyond War God has arrived at Jiangnan Base City?"

"Target information confirmed. Name: Qin Hao. Identity: Limitless Martial Arts Center martial artist. Title rank: Advanced War God."

The information was quickly broadcast.

"Stop the attack immediately. Report this information. Huaxia has produced another Beyond War God!"

As the military district reported the intelligence, news of Qin Hao becoming a War God swiftly reached the military high command. From becoming a martial artist to becoming a War God, vanishing for half a year, then reappearing as a Beyond War God—every detail of Qin Hao's growth was collected.

Qin Hao knew nothing of this. After approaching Jiangnan Base City, he descended from the air, entered the military district, took a special train back to Jiangnan Base City, and then returned from Jiangnan Base City to YZ City.

"I'm back," Qin Hao called as he entered the house.

"Brother! Brother!" As soon as he spoke, Qin Ying's cheerful voice rang out from the living room. Then a small figure rushed toward him. Qin Hao quickly stepped forward and gathered Qin Ying into his arms.

"You rotten brother, you ignored me for so long!" Qin Ying said, her little fists continuously thumping Qin Hao. To his family, they had been apart for several months, but for Qin Hao, more than two years had passed.

"You're back," Qin Hai and Wang Su said, relief evident in their voices. During the first few months, Qin Hao had still kept in touch with home regularly, but there had been no news at all over these past few months. The two of them had been extremely worried.

Back home, Qin Hao felt completely relaxed, both physically and mentally. However, before he could fully unwind, the doorbell rang.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong."

Hearing the doorbell, Qin Hao walked to the entrance and opened the door. The moment he saw the visitor, he recognized him. Jia Yi, Huaxia's Strongest—a legendary figure who was repeatedly mentioned in school textbooks.

"Hello, Qin Hao." Jia Yi smiled at Qin Hao.

"I didn't expect you to come. Please come in, Councilor Jia." Qin Hao ushered Jia Yi inside. Qin Hai and Wang Su, who had hurried over after hearing the commotion, stared at Jia Yi in their home with faces full of shock. Huaxia's number one expert had appeared in their house.

Qin Hao's parents' generation could be said to have grown up listening to Jia Yi's legends, and they had also witnessed the contributions Jia Yi had made.

"Hello." Jia Yi's tone remained very polite. "I came to discuss something with Qin Hao. Sorry for disturbing you."

"Welcome, welcome!" Qin Hai and Wang Su said excitedly.

"Councilor Jia Yi, let's talk in the training room." With that, Qin Hao headed toward the training room. After entering, the two sat down in the lounge area beside it.

"May I ask what brings you here this time, Councilor Jia?" Qin Hao took a bottle of water from beside his seat, opened it, handed it to Jia Yi, and asked.

"When you approached Jiangnan Base City, you were detected. I didn't expect you to break through so quickly." After taking a sip of water, Jia Yi said, "I'll be direct. Have you considered joining the military?"

"Right now, I only want to focus my energy on cultivation." Qin Hao considered for a moment before answering. Whether in his previous life or this one, he was Huaxian and felt a strong sense of belonging to Huaxia. Before obtaining his Golden Finger, he had also planned to join the military.

"However, I can provide the military with some resources." Qin Hao looked at Jia Yi and made his decision. Whether for the country or for Jia Yi, some resources were insignificant to Qin Hao. Yet they could change the country's influence in the world and alter Jia Yi's future fate.

A legendary figure who had devoted his entire life to the nation should not meet the same ending as in the original work.

"Old Gu, send the Basic Warrior 216 Forms, Introduction to Domain, the various Source Star Apprentice Level weapon Martial Skills, and Planetary-level secret arts for every attribute to my communicator," Qin Hao said in his mind.

"Alright."

Following the reply, files appeared one after another on Qin Hao's communicator.

"During my travels, I obtained an inheritance. There are quite a few secret arts within it that can be shared with the country. At the same time, I can contribute some Wood Essence Crystals to the country." As he spoke, Qin Hao transferred the files from his communicator to Jia Yi, then stood up and walked outside the training room.

After receiving the inheritance of the Origin Star King, he did not have many basic resources like Wood Essence Crystals, but he still had some. They had also been prepared for the Inheritor. Qin Hao took ten Wood Essence Crystals from his World Ring, then turned and walked back.

After Qin Hao left, Jia Yi was drawn to the contents appearing on his communicator. He opened the Basic Warrior 216 Forms and began reading. The Force Generation techniques and cultivation methods for every form gradually dispelled the doubts that had troubled him. He gained an entirely new understanding of Force Generation.

"So our methods of Force Generation were wrong. All wrong. This is the correct path." Jia Yi's hands could not help trembling. Since the Great Nirvana, he had witnessed the turmoil of the world and the rise of powerful forces. He understood even more clearly how precious these Secret Manuals were.

Especially the "Introduction to Domain." One reason Hong could become the world's number one expert, and the most important one, was his domain. However, the contents of "Introduction to Domain" were extremely obscure, and it would be difficult to gain anything from them in a short time. Still, now that he had obtained it and had guidance, he would eventually gain something from it.

While Jia Yi excitedly read through the Secret Manuals Qin Hao had sent him, Qin Hao also walked back in. The fragrance of the Wood Essence Crystals in his hand drew Jia Yi's attention away from the Secret Manuals.

"Wood Essence Crystals?! These are Wood Essence Crystals?"

"That's right. These are Wood Essence Crystals I obtained from the inheritance. One can create a Planetary-level expert. However, I suggest that Councilor Jia keep some to improve his own strength. After all, quality is far more important than quantity. The major powers of the world would not be willing to see Huaxia suddenly produce too many Beyond War God experts."
