After releasing the suppression of his Divine Power, Chen Xinjie first stored Long Yeyue's corpse in the Storage Ring on his right hand. Then, he used his Divine Power to envelop the entire Shrek City, his gaze lingering on the noteworthy powerhouses for a moment before his eyes darkened.

It seemed a bit too late; those people were all rushing over here, especially after he displayed his Divine Origin Realm Spiritual Power Realm.

Yu Guanzhi and the others also sensed that Huo Yuhao and his group were rapidly approaching, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Palace Master Chen, please stop."

In an attempt to buy time, Yu Guanzhi said, "Even if you possess the Divine Power of the Divine Origin Realm, it's impossible for you to simultaneously deal with His Di Tian and that— First-Level God of the Divine Realm, the reincarnation of the God of Fire God."

"First Rank God —reincarnated?" Chen Xinjie's pupils contracted slightly.

"That's right," Yu Guanzhi noticed the change in his expression and continued to press, "The True God of Shrek has personally confirmed that the next successor of the Spirit Pagoda is the reincarnation of the Fire God."

Upon confirming that Yu Guanzhi's facial expression was genuine, Chen Xinjie's heart sank.

He had sensed God Rank fluctuation here, which should be the True God of Shrek. Afterwards, it seemed that the other party was stopped by a powerful figure from the Federation and did not take away all the Shrek members.

However, in his previous view, the person who was blocking him was definitely not at the God Realm; they were probably just using some means to make True God wary. If that was all, he could leave without being stopped.

After all—he also had the trump card of briefly breaking through to the God Rank!

As descendants of the Sea God Family, who were once guardians of the Sea God Inheritance, they possess a divine Divine Tool passed down through generations— the Sea God Helmet.

In the past, he would have needed to rely on it to burn his life force to briefly possess God Rank strength. But after obtaining enough fragments of the Sea God Divine Spark, his cultivation improved again, and he was able to use the Sea God's Divine Tool to temporarily mend those Divinity Fragment, with the two resonating and stimulating True God- level power for a period of time. Although this also came at a price, it was much better than direct death.

Moreover, in that state, his aura was similar to that of a god who possessed Divine Position, and he would not be subject to the dimensional punishment.

(In the original work, four people temporarily reached the God Rank during the battle of the Abyss. Only Gu Yuena broke through the God Rank limit and was struck by lightning, but Guan Yue and Tang Wulin could be explained. Only Chen Xinjie maintained the God Rank for a long time without being punished by the plane, so there is no explanation. Therefore, this setting was made. If you have better ideas, please suggest them.)

This is also why he wasn't too surprised when he saw Yun Ming break through, only marveling that the other party was one step ahead of him. With similar trump cards, he wasn't afraid of Yun Ming.

It was precisely because the power of the Divinity Fragment seemed still capable of being activated that the Demon Soul Great White Shark King believed Chen Xinjie could Reshaping the Sea God Divine Position.

After reaching the God Rank, only Di Tian and Yun Ming from Shrek City have the ability to pursue and intercept him. Although Yun Ming is still alive, he is barely alive and has no combat ability, let alone God Rank. So only Di Tian can do it.

As for others, even the Snow Empress, who is suspected of Re-Cultivation, is not an option.

Indeed, although Chen Xinjie only glanced at Snow Empress's battlefield, he noticed that her Divine Power had reached the Divine Origin Realm. Even Di Tian had not been able to break through to the Divine Origin Realm, but Snow Empress had accomplished it. The only possibility he could think of was that Snow Empress had undergone Re-Cultivation.

A Ferocious Beast with an age of 800,000 years, second only to Di Tian, Re-Cultivation —his strength is probably not much different from Di Tian's normal strength. However, as long as Snow Empress does not have the strange divine Divine Tool in Di Tian's possession that can conceal the secrets of heaven, she cannot stop him.

After all, an attack that doesn't reach the God Rank can't intercept a True God. If the Snow Empress really has the ability to briefly break through to the God Rank, then—without Chen Xinjie's intervention, the suppression from the plane and the Tribulation Lightning will stop her.

So, although Shrek City seems to have gathered many powerful individuals, the only one who can truly stop Chen Xinjie from leaving Di Tian, an unconventional being comparable to True God. Those below the level of True God cannot hinder his progress.

Chen Xinjie only needs to find a way to shake off Di Tian to escape.

It's not difficult to do this, after all, he has already seen Di Tian's background. Di Tian has a strong Spiritual Consciousness and is difficult to harm with his Divine Consciousness, but without the wonder of Divine Consciousness, there are some things that cannot be seen!

Ultimately, there seem to be quite a few God Rank powerhouses here, but they are all crippled; not a single one is whole.

Even God Rank who have achieved complete spiritual transcendence have their own weaknesses.

Those without Divine Body need to take extra care to protect themselves in certain environments; those without Divine Power cannot match the speed and distance of True God when traversing space; those without Divine Consciousness cannot immediately identify things that require Divine Consciousness to discern; and those who can break through to the God Rank have nothing to conceal the secrets of heaven.

They all have weaknesses, and those are the points that can be exploited.

This is also the reason for Chen Xinjie's confidence; he can get away with it if he wants to.

Of course, this was what he thought before he heard about the reincarnation of First Rank God.

Now that's the case... that's troublesome.

"How is this possible? He's actually First Rank God?!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King of the Spiritual Sea also looked rather grim.

"The Lord Sea God from 20,000 years ago was also First Rank God. Douluo Continent has reincarnations of such figures; Xinjie, you're probably—"

"He's definitely not back to his prime yet, but we should prepare for the worst."

Chen Xinjie's tone was low and somber.

The unknown is the most dangerous.

His confidence stemmed from the fact that previous battles had exposed the trump cards of many powerful figures, while the Federation's powerful figures were unaware of his own trump cards. However, the trump card of a reincarnated god—he had never seen it, nor did he want to see it.

With a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Xinjie ultimately made a decision that defied common sense.

Upon sensing the unusual activity within the Spiritual Sea Spiritual Sea, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King's expression changed drastically.

What are you doing? Stop right now!

"My mind is made up, there's no need to persuade me further." Chen Xinjie's voice resounded in the Spiritual Sea, carrying an undeniable resolve. "That's a reincarnation of First Rank God. Even if he hasn't recovered to his full strength, his methods and resources far exceed our imagination. Betting that he can't stop me? I can't take that risk, nor can I afford to."

The Demon Soul Great White Shark King's thoughts sent out anxious fluctuations. "But there are still powerful figures from the Federation here, Yu Guanzhi, Dong Zi'an, and even Ha Luosa! They are all pillars of the Federation. If you act decisively and capture them, or attack what the enemy must defend—"

"Stop talking." Chen Xinjie interrupted her, his tone tinged with weariness, yet carrying an unyielding resolve. "I, Chen Xinjie, a member of the Federation military for two hundred years, even if I am now in dire straits and burdened with heavy crimes, I would never stoop to using my comrades as hostages to commit such despicable acts of coercion! This is my bottom line, and also—my final statement to this uniform."

After saying that, he stopped communicating with the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and focused all his attention on the outside world.

Chen Xinjie's gaze swept over the familiar figures on the shore, his eyes filled with complex emotions. But he quickly cast aside all pretense and declared loudly, "Today, I, Chen Xinjie, resign from my positions as Commander of the Sea God Legion and Lord of the War God Temple. All my subsequent actions are solely due to personal reasons and have no further connection with the Federation, the War God Temple, the Sea God Legion, or my family!"

His voice spread like a tidal wave, clearly reaching the ears of every powerful figure present, as well as other auras rapidly approaching from afar, and even the ears of everyone Shrek City.

From this point on, he was no longer the revered temple master and legion commander, but merely a "sinner" who had neglected his duty for personal gain and broken his oath. He would face the upcoming battles and escape as "Chen Xinjie," and meet the inevitable pursuit.

In this way, at least— the War God Temple and the Sea God Legion won't be overshadowed by his actions today. Chen Xinjie clearly stated that he wouldn't use his position for personal gain. This would also reduce Yu Guanzhi and the others' concerns about their stance in the upcoming battles.

This also clearly demonstrates his attitude.

He knows what he's doing and doesn't need to hold back.

Seeing the determination on Chen Xinjie's face, Yu Guanzhi sighed inwardly.

He voluntarily resigned from all his positions, severed all public ties with his family and legion, and announced it throughout Shrek City. This was tantamount to personally separating himself from the Federation's system of meritorious elders, characterizing it as personal treason.

In subsequent actions, the Federation can separate his influence from the Federation as a whole, avoiding the political stigma of "purging meritorious factions" and greatly reducing the risk of his former subordinates or family members colluding and confronting him in order to protect Chen Xinjie.

A more practical benefit is that since Chen Xinjie has already exiled himself and taken full responsibility for his crimes, the political "legitimacy" of implicating his family and former subordinates on a large scale is greatly reduced. An overreaction may instead provoke unnecessary sympathy and backlash, pushing forces that might otherwise remain silent or observe to the opposite side.

Considering Chen Xinjie's past achievements and his two hundred years of diligent work for the Federation, as long as those connected to him aren't fools, the Federation can be lenient and won't hold them accountable if they offend the Federation.

After all, he was a general of the Federation. Unlike Shrek, after regaining his senses, he had already paved the way for his family, his former subordinates, and the Federation.

The next moment, Chen Xinjie, who had paved the way for his own future, made his move. Instead of breaking through to another direction, he charged directly at Yu Guanzhi.

Yu Guanzhi's expression changed, and he wanted to pick up his pen and write, but a surge of powerful Divine Consciousness caused his movements to freeze instantly.

Chen Xinjie raised his palm, a flash of azure light appeared, and with one strike, Yu Guanzhi coughed up blood and flew backward.

Quasi-God at the Divine Origin Realm is unstoppable; even Demigod cannot withstand such power. Under the former's full force, an ordinary Demigod would be severely injured, if Undying killed.

However, Chen Xinjie held back out of consideration for their friendship.

At that moment, a sword blade that had been gathering power for a long time swiftly sliced through space and attacked Chen Xinjie.

"You're fast enough, but you're no match for me now, and you can't stop me!"

Chen Xinjie glanced at Ha Luosa, snorted coldly, and easily neutralized the attack using his Soul Power and Divine Power. He then used Spiritual Shock to interfere with Ha Luosa's movements.

We'll settle our score later!

Without turning his head, he tore through space and rushed towards Di Tian!

Another development is that even though Fiery Emperor possessed Divine Power and didn't wield the Heavenly Sacred Abyssal Halberd, he was able to inflict serious injuries on three Quasi-God -Quasi-God, resulting in the deaths of two and severe injuries to one of them. This was even under conditions where both sides fought to the death without retreating. Clearly, the combination of the two Demigod and Ha Luosa could not stop Chen Xinjie.

Dong Zi'an, who was a step too slow, frowned slightly.

"He wants to leave? But why did he seek out the strongest Di Tian?"

Dong Zi'an was puzzled, but that didn't stop him and Ha Luosa from chasing after them.

Yu Guanzhi took a breath, suppressing his complex emotions, and his voice turned cold and official, echoing throughout the room. "Chen Xinjie has betrayed the Federation and disobeyed military orders. His words and actions have severed all ties with the Federation! From this moment on, all his posts, ranks, and benefits are revoked! The Federation's highest arrest warrant is effective immediately; he must be brought to justice!"

At the same time, Huo Yuhao and the others who appeared there also heard his words.

Seeing this, Yu Guanzhi's eyes lit up, and he approached the group. "Senior Fire God, Chen Xinjie resigned from all his positions because of a past relationship and betrayed the Federation. We implore you all to help the Federation apprehend him."

Huo Yuhao:

This "Fire God Senior" sounds strange.

Thinking it over, Huo Yuhao nodded, then turned his gaze to the direction Chen Xinjie had left in, his brows furrowing.

He wasn't idle while he and Snow Empress and the others were still away. While he was preparing the resurrection materials for Old Yi, he, Snow Empress, and Gu Yuena were scattered in three directions, and together with Di Tian, they surrounded him from four directions.

They didn't know if Chen Xinjie had any intention of leaving, but they still had to make some preparations.

Chen Xinjie's reaction was strange. Was he willing to fight the strongest, an unconventional being comparable to True God, Di Tian, rather than avoid them?

Could it be that Er Ming's extraordinary wisdom is still at work?

After hearing Yu Guanzhi's account, Huo Yuhao roughly guessed what had happened. He smiled helplessly and headed towards Di Tian with Snow Empress and the others.

Before they even arrived, a deafening roar echoed through the sky. The powerful surge of Divine Power caused many people's expressions to change slightly.

Yu Guanzhi exclaimed in astonishment, "Chen Xinjie also has a trump card to break through to the God Rank?"

Previously, Demigod were all powerful figures in the Federation, but today's frequent appearances of God Rank left him speechless. If it weren't for the Spirit Pagoda's strong foundation and the numerous God Rank beings involved, today would likely have been...

Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it.

After the initial shock, Yu Guanzhi felt somewhat relieved.

Although Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie each have their own abstract aspects, at least their methods are aboveboard.

Otherwise, in God Rank battle—within the outer Federation blockade army and Federation powerhouses, many wouldn't even survive the aftershocks. Using these people as hostages, it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape, and the Federation couldn't afford such losses.

Yu Guanzhi took a deep breath and asked, "Gentlemen, Chen Xinjie has broken through to the God Rank. Are you confident?"

"Your Divine Brush Crown has asked similar questions several times today, hasn't that been?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and joked, then, seeing Yu Guanzhi's embarrassed expression, continued, "I'll do my best."

There's a huge difference between fighting to the death and running away. Even several strong individuals of the same level might not be able to stop one who is fighting to the death to escape.

Once Yun Ming left, Di Tian couldn't stop her.

After all, unlike the situation where they blocked Da Ming Er Ming, the confidence that supported Da Ming Er Ming to reach the God Rank came from the small plane. The small plane was there, and Da Ming Er Ming had nowhere to run.

If they abandon the small plane and escape, without their God Rank strength, the Federation will have more people to stop them, and at least one of them can be captured without fail. Therefore, Ah Yin dared not gamble and chose to give up the Golden Tree to resolve the crisis.

But at the level of True God, the only ones present qualified to stop him are him, Gu Yuena, Snow Empress, and Di Tian. Moreover, each of them has their own weaknesses. Whether they can be held back depends on the situation and whether some trump cards should be used here, exposing them to the Holy Spirit Cult, which is likely watching this battlefield.

As for the others—they were practically defeated in one move, if not completely wiped out.

Referring to Gu Yuena, who shattered the Underworld King Sword and severely injured Ha Luosa with a single, Divine Origin Realm strike, Gu Yuena at that time hadn't even broken through to the God Rank limit.

Thinking of Underworld King Douluo, Huo Yuhao looked at Ha Luosa, who was pointing his sword at Chen Xinjie on the battlefield ahead, and his eye twitched.

Standing on the side of the Federation, the Underworld Emperor drew his sword and pointed it directly at the Federation's traitor— Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.

This scene is... absolutely insane!
