"Su... Su Gelu... is dead?!"

Medusa staggered backward, seemingly unable to accept this reality.

And...

According to Su Gelu's heart-wrenching dying words, it seems that Helge and the Dragon God were working together to do this?!

But how could that be?!

Wasn't Helge filled with hatred for the Dragon God because of the incident where he was hung on the city wall?

How could it possibly betray us at this critical juncture?

Could it be...

Was it because Su Gelu and Helge had always been at odds that Su Gelu deliberately framed Herg before he died?

No, that's even more impossible.

Who the hell would risk their life to frame a colleague?!

These two just don't like each other and often try to trip each other up; they're nowhere near the point of being life-or-death enemies!

Medusa's mind raced, and she even began to suspect that these two were hiding something from her...

While plotting a fake death that rivals the intrigue of Zhongli Quan...

"Evil God! Something terrible has happened!"

A serpent guard tumbled and crawled into the command room and knelt on one knee.

"The God of Balance and his Federation army have launched a full-scale offensive!"

"Our fleet's damage ratio has reached 69%!"

"And Lord Su Gelu's flesh and blood fleet... was completely wiped out, with a 100% casualty rate! What should we do?!"

"Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"

Medusa was furious upon hearing this devastating news.

She was too lazy to care what kind of shady schemes Su Gelu and Helge were up to!

Anyway, the blame for this disastrous attack on the Azure Starfield will fall on Helge's head!

"Issue my Divine Edict: the entire army must retreat immediately! Tear open the spatial rift and return to the Filth Starfield!"

Medusa glared fiercely at the battlefield. "I will personally report all of this to the Filth Primordial God!"

"That traitor, Helge, must pay the price!"

With the order given, the remaining serpent fleet slipped into the spatial rift and fled in panic.

As the reinforced Federation forces watched the enemy retreat, a deafening cheer erupted in the channel!

"We won! They escaped!"

"We survived! Long live the Federation! Long live Lord Balance!"

"Counterattack! Drive these scum out of our galaxy!"

Meanwhile, in the rear, the God of Balance, shrouded in light, gazed into the distance in the direction the serpent fleet had retreated.

Instead of feeling the joy of victory, his brows furrowed tightly.

What exactly happened?

His divine sense detected the aura of a fallen god.

Although only the subordinate Filth Primordial God died, but...

That's Su Gelu!

As a flesh-and-blood Evil God, Su Gelu is definitely the most troublesome and resilient of all the gods!

As long as a trace of flesh and blood remains, it can be reborn indefinitely.

Who exactly is it...?

Is it possible to completely eradicate it at its source across such a vast galactic distance?

Could it be that some ancient, slumbering High God from another star system has awakened, and is somewhere nearby?

"No, no matter who he is, we must get out of here quickly..."

The God of Balance felt a sudden chill in his heart.

After all, their Federation Star System doesn't have High God- level being to oversee things!

Once targeted by an unparalleled being of that level, this remaining fleet wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap in someone's teeth.

Therefore, the God of Balance immediately issued a death order, leading the newly victorious Federation army to quickly tear open a spatial rift and retreat.

In the dim light of space, only the devastation of war remained...

At the same time.

The Milky Way Galaxy, Blue Star.

As the evil flesh and blood of outer space collapsed, the moon finally shed its repulsive shell and returned to its original form.

Only...

On the once smooth surface of the moon, a charred crack now runs through the celestial body, a shocking sight.

The summit of Mount Tai.

"We won... we really won!!!"

Mo Wan jumped and danced with excitement, then hugged Lin Zhu and Zhang Yan who were standing next to her.

"I'm still alive! Waaah, I thought I was really going to die on this wretched mountain today!"

Zhang Yan held the baby tightly in her arms, also crying tears of joy.

But after the initial excitement, Mo Wan suddenly looked around and scratched her head. "But... is there no need to say anything more?"

"Could he have flown too fast and ended up stuck in space, unable to return?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu chuckled helplessly.

Don't worry, it's possible they won't be able to stay.

"Have you forgotten what that Flesh Moon in the sky called him just now?"

Lin Zhu raised her head, gazing intently at the starry sky.

"His true identity isn't that of a newcomer trainee at all, but rather..."

"A true god!"

"Did you see that shooting star in the sky?"

Lin Zhu pointed to the night sky, "To be precise, that was a deity descending from the mountain."

"Giggle~"

At this moment, the Fool in Zhang Yan seemed to sense something as well.

He excitedly pointed with his little finger at a new star that suddenly lit up the sky.

That's Jiangnan.

Arms crossed over his chest, feet pointing downwards, eyes looking down disdainfully.

He is descending vertically from outer space with the presence of a powerful being.

"Whoo~ Waaah~"

Mo Wan tilted her head back, cupped her hands to her heart, and exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, "What a magnificent sight!"

"It's a pity I don't have a phone right now, otherwise I would definitely take a picture and post it on WeChat Moments..."

However, before Mo Wan could finish speaking, her expression froze.

She discovered a terrifying problem: Jiangnan's figure showed absolutely no sign of slowing down!

He was like a giant fireball, crashing straight down towards the summit of Mount Tai!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!"

Mo Wan stared wide-eyed in horror, pointing at the sky and screaming frantically, "Why isn't he slowing down?!"

"With that kind of force, it would definitely level this half of the mountain!"

"We're going to turn into two-dimensional paper figures! Help!"

But the tragedy did not happen as she had imagined.

Just as the giant fireball that Jiangnan had transformed into was about to shatter the mountaintop and make contact with [The Fool's ] ten-meter domain...

"Buzz!"

The [Dragon God Emperor Armor] on Jiangnan's body immediately dissipated, along with the flames generated by friction with the air, which were forcibly erased.

The Fool's domain eliminated all excess potential energy from him.

Having lost all its blessings, Jiangnan performed a somersault in mid-air, gracefully landing on one knee.

Not even a speck of dust was stirred up.

"Call..."

Mo Wan plopped down on the ground, clutching her flat chest and panting heavily.

"Don't push yourself to the limit, you jerk! Are you trying to scare me to death so you can inherit my instant noodles?!"

Lin Zhu and Zhang Yan, standing behind her, couldn't help but chuckle at Mo Wan's comical appearance.

Even the baby in Zhang Yan started giggling.

Jiangnan stood up, ignoring Mo Wan's protest.

He was used to it; this woman was just an abstract concept, and arguing with her was a waste of time.

Instead, he frowned slightly and glanced down at his right arm.

Because of the forced Fusion of four laws, the hastily assembled prosthetic limb has been burned to carbonization and is completely unusable.

"Sizzle~"

Jiangnan Nan, expressionless, tore off the charred right arm and tossed it aside.

Although this prosthetic limb was rudimentary, it exceeded its intended purpose.

It's just a pity...

Soul Return Town resident whose arm he "borrowed" will probably suffer a bit and have to work harder for a while because of this.

"I'll definitely make it up to him when we get back."

Jiangnan silently considered in his heart, "For example..."

"Just grant him a lifetime spot at the Great Love Factory, with room and board included for life."

A night breeze blew, and the crisis seemed to have been completely averted.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things had come to a perfect end...

In the dark ruins behind them.

A tall, cold figure...

He stood up again!
