The quiet of the night.
The piercing sirens of the police blared throughout the streets!
Countless residents were awakened from their sleep, looking out at the night sky, which was illuminated by moving searchlights.
A fleet of black-painted armed helicopters roared past.
Soldiers armed with live ammunition were everywhere.
The entire Qingshan City has been taken over by the military.
Many people are sleepless tonight, unsure of what happened.
But one thing is certain.
Someone has really messed things up!
Government Affairs District.
Police Headquarters.
This place was requisitioned by the 27th Group Army to serve as a temporary command post.
Bright incandescent lights illuminated the building.
Each department handled matters in an orderly manner, understanding each other's meaning with almost no communication required.
The echoing sound of steel boots striking the floor added a chilling touch to the already somber atmosphere.
When the massive machine of the military gets going.
The efficiency is always astonishingly high!
"Major General Ning, the identity of the Knight who attacked you has been confirmed!"
A captain strode over, holding a document in his hand, saluted, and said in a deep voice:
"His Baerjia, he is 137 years old, and he is a high-ranking second-grade Knight!"
At the age of 21, he was an exchange student at Myriad Martial University in the Federation.
During this time, he was ridiculed by many students because of his appearance.
Our psychological profilers analyzed that the exchange student's experiences, to some extent, triggered Baerjia's yearning for the Old Gods Society...
The captain spoke rapidly and clearly.
Some things that Baerjia himself had forgotten were unearthed by the military's intelligence agencies.
"... In the year 1025 of the Federation Calendar, Baerjia became an agent of the Old Gods Society. The following year, this was discovered by the Alien Council, which issued a bounty on his head..."
Hearing this, Ning Chuan was somewhat surprised and interrupted the captain, asking, "What exactly is the Old Gods Society? Why is it being targeted by alien races?"
At first, he thought the Old Gods Society some kind of religion of a different race.
According to the official Federation definition, the Old Gods Society a terrorist organization.
Bai Xiuxiu looked at Ning Chuan and spoke.
She also came to Qingshan City.
Bai Xiuxiu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Have you ever heard of prehistoric times?"
"Hmm." A thoughtful look appeared in Ning Chuan's eyes as he said, "I remember it was also called the Mythical Era."
Bai Xiuxiu nodded in agreement and said, "It's named after a myth because humanity knows very little about that era. No historical records have been passed down; only fragments can be found in prehistoric sites!"
Bai Xiuxiu then informed Ning Chuan.
In the mythical era, humanity was weak, unlike today, where it is the undisputed overlord of the High Martial Realm.
At that time, the beings standing at the top of the pyramid were several powerful individual beings who considered themselves gods and ruled the entire High Martial Realm.
"However, at the end of the mythological era, for some unknown reason, the gods disappeared one after another, leaving no trace of their lives or bodies, vanishing without a trace in a very short time."
Bai Xiuxiu eyes were serious as she said:
That period is also known by historians as Ragnarok!
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan seemed to understand something and said, "The so-called ancient gods refer to the deities of the mythological era?"
"Yes."
Bai Xiuxiu thought for a moment and said, "A considerable number of people among the alien races believe that they are descendants of the old gods."
They firmly believed that the old gods had not perished, but had temporarily fallen into slumber in order to achieve Longevity.
One day, it will recover!
" The Old Gods Society was originally just a religious organization, harmless to humans and animals."
Bai Xiuxiu said solemnly, "However, as time goes by, the Old Gods Society gradually become more radical."
No longer passively waiting.
Instead, they actively summoned and sacrificed infants and thousands of people in blood sacrifices; the horrific acts were countless.
"Clear."
Ning Chuan echoed, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He suddenly realized.
The Spirit-Nourishing Liquid in the spatial ring should not be Baerjia's personal property.
It belongs to the Old Gods Society.
He stole a hundred drops of Spirit-Nourishing Liquid from the Old Gods Society, so the other party will most likely not let it go easily.
However, Ning Chuan was not worried.
He carries the God-Slaying King Token; to kill him, the Heavenly King must intervene.
Meanwhile, a foreign Heavenly King descended upon the Federation.
It's equivalent to dropping an exploding nuclear bomb on the Capital Region.
Neither of them declared war on the Federation.
Let's start the war!
