The Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
Gu Yuena stood on her office floor, her gaze piercing through the layers of clouds and mist as she quietly looked into the distance through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
Her long, silvery-white hair was tied up high, and the ponytail swayed gently with her movements.
No one knew what she was thinking; her thoughts seemed to drift far away, so far that even she herself couldn't fathom them.
Just then, a phone rang, breaking the silence of the room. Gu Yuena reached for her phone and answered it.
"My lord," came the voice of the Beast God Di Tian from the other end of the phone, "It has been confirmed that Yu Longyue has officially enlisted in the army."
"He's gone to fight the Abyss; he won't be back for a while."
"What do you think of this plan...?"
"Yes, he's not here, so no one can pose a threat to us," Gu Yuena said calmly. "You guys need to hurry up. The Myriad Beast Platform is almost finished. Also, the Battle Armor specially made for you—whether it's wearable, whether it has any flaws, etc.—you must tell me in detail so I can continue the design process."
"Yes, sir, I will have them all write a report for you later."
What's the Divine Craftsman doing?
"As always, my lord, do we need to take action against the Divine Craftsman?"
"You dare touch it?" Gu Yuena's tone was calm, yet it revealed an imposing authority. "Without my order, if you act recklessly, no one can save you. Do you think you can mess with the Divine Craftsman? Aren't you afraid that if the humans find out, they'll fight us to the death?"
The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua is now a treasure of all mankind, while Tang Wulin, who was hailed as the most promising candidate to become the next Divine Craftsman, is now completely disabled and paralyzed.
If something happens to Zhen Hua, it's estimated that all human forces, except for Evil Soul Master, will riot.
"Yes, yes..."
How is the integration into human society going?
"Many Soul Beast are complaining..."
"I don't want to hear any of that, I only want the result." Gu Yuena interrupted the Beast God Di Tian without expression.
The Beast God Di Tian's voice lowered. "The effect is quite poor."
"Send all those who refuse to cooperate to the Far North." Gu Yuena glanced at the message. "Humanity has announced that there is a Holy Spirit Cult stronghold in the Far North, and reliable information proves that the remnants of the Clear Sky Sect have joined forces with the Holy Spirit Cult and are cooperating with the Abyss, planning to tear open a new passage."
"Send those unwilling Soul Beast to the Far North to fight alongside humans. This will also allow them to practice with the newly developed Battle Armor. The Myriad Demon King will personally oversee and supervise this process."
"Yes, but do we really have to fight alongside humans?"
"What, you still want to fight amongst yourselves with humans in the face of the Abyss?" Gu Yuena frowned. "Without humans, who will stand in front of us and fight the Abyss?"
"What about Yu Longyue over there...?"
"We're not prepared to specifically target him yet. He's protected by the Dragon God, so I can't make a move against him. Besides, he's already invincible, so even if you personally intervene, you have no hope." Gu Yuena pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll see if there's a way to bypass the Dragon God's protection before we talk again."
Ever since Yu Longyue's battle with Tang San, Gu Yuena recognized Tang San. After all, his features were quite distinctive; if she still couldn't recognize him, she would be a complete idiot.
At the same time, Gu Yuena also realized that Huo Haodong, who had been vying with her for the position of Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, was probably Huo Yuhao from ten thousand years ago.
After figuring out the current situation, Gu Yuena was also somewhat troubled.
What's going on in this era? How come these two powerful figures among humanity have returned?
Gu Yuena, in particular, thought that Tang San could at least force out the Dragon God's protection from the Yu Longyue.
Who knew... Tang San was defeated without taking any damage by Yu Longyue.
Then she'll have to rely on herself.
"My lord, if he can fight for the sake of Soul Beast... wouldn't that avoid fighting him?" Beast God Di Tian asked with some worry. "After all, even that Plane Master and Tang San couldn't kill him. Can we really do it?"
"That's true, so let's focus on winning them over as much as possible."
A major event has occurred in the Soul Master World.
Led by Yun Ming, a group of Limit Douluo gathered and announced some earth-shattering news.
A high-ranking member of the Clear Sky Sect has officially become Evil Soul Master and is now cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult.
They also discovered that the Far North was a stronghold of the Holy Spirit Cult.
As for the information about the Abyss, it was kept tightly under wraps and not revealed. It was only said that each faction needed to send a team to join forces with the Federation Army to attack the Holy Spirit Cult.
The coded message was quite clear; this was a direct communication with all the major powers.
Another tough battle in the Abyss is about to begin.
Shrek Academy dispatched a team of Soul Master led by Cai Yue'er, and the Inspection Corps mobilized almost 90% of its members.
The Spirit Pagoda also responded to the call, with Qiangu Dongfeng personally leading the expedition, along with his grandson Qiangu Zhangting, to join the crusade. As for the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, it was left to Huo Haodong and Gu Yuena to maintain order.
This is quite surprising.
After all, Qiangu Dongfeng was selfish and extremely ambitious, but in recent years, he has changed and is doing good deeds all the time, as if he is accumulating merit.
He became increasingly proactive in things like this.
On the Tang Sect's side, the team was also led by the Amorous Douluo.
Of the Federation's eighteen War Gods, fifteen were dispatched; the rest were tasked with defending the home base.
Yun Ming remained seated in Shrek City, Immovable as a Mountain.
Meanwhile, reclusive sects such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have mobilized their most powerful Soul Master teams, responding to the call to prepare for the coming war.
Immediately, the internet erupted in heated discussion about whether the operation to annihilate the Holy Spirit Cult would be successful...
at the same time.
On the other side.
The snow-capped peaks resemble the spine of a giant dragon, stretching endlessly and covered with a thick layer of white snow.
In this icy and snowy landscape, Yu Longyue's figure stood out conspicuously.
Their steps were firm and powerful, each step leaving a deep footprint in the thick snow.
A biting wind blew against his clothes.
Instead of using Red-Grade Mecha or his own Martial Soul Possession to travel quickly, he steadily climbed up step by step.
His father had once told him that when he came here, the first thing he should do was act like an ordinary person.
Because everyone who comes here to join the army must walk this road on foot, even flying Soul Master are no exception, that's the rule.
They can't even use their Martial Soul, otherwise they'll be eliminated.
Yu Longyue took a deep breath, took out the positioning system that Yun Ming had specially given him, and activated it.
This positioning system can only be used for the destination he is currently searching for.
Guided by it, I arrived here.
And now, the direction the positioning system is pointing is deep into those snow-capped mountains.
As he ventured deeper, the shadow of the military camp ahead gradually became clearer.
It was a campsite perched atop a snow-capped mountain, covered in snow and blending seamlessly with its surroundings; it was almost impossible to spot without careful observation.
Yu Longyue's heartbeat quickened slightly.
We're almost there.
With his physical condition, although he didn't feel tired, it was still very boring.
Because of his formal enlistment in the army, he can say goodbye to his mobile phone from now on.
However, just as he was about to approach the military camp, Yu Longyue suddenly sensed several dangerous auras.
Not far ahead of him, several soldiers in white camouflage uniforms were lying on the snow, their bodies almost blending into the surrounding snowscape and becoming difficult to identify.
Upon seeing Yu Longyue approach, the soldiers stood up from the cold snow, holding their Soul Guidance Ray Gun, the muzzles steadily pointing at Yu Longyue.
Yu Longyue immediately stopped in his tracks. He raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm. His voice sounded somewhat weak in the cold wind, but he still tried his best to make it sound calm.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to report for military service."
One of the soldiers, peering coldly through his goggles, scrutinized Yu Longyue before slowly speaking:
"Authentication."
Yu Longyue slowly, very slowly, took out the relevant identity verification file from her bosom with her raised hands.
And a letter of recommendation.
The soldier took the file, carefully examined it, and after confirming it, nodded and waved to the rear. The other soldiers also put away their weapons, their eyes still wary, but they clearly no longer regarded Yu Longyue as a threat.
At the same time, several soldiers stood at attention and saluted Yu Longyue.
The military salute is different from that of a regular Federation soldier; it involves making a fist with the right hand and pounding it into one's chest with great force.
Just as Yu Longyue was about to imitate him and pound her chest, the soldier grabbed her arm.
"You're not qualified yet. Come with me."
As he spoke, the soldier strode towards the distant military camp.
Yu Longyue looked back at the direction she had come from, her face filled with reluctance.
I'm joining the army now; there's no turning back.
You'll regret serving for two years, but you'll regret not serving for a lifetime.
Yu Longyue took a deep breath, turned around, and followed the soldiers deeper into the snow mountain military camp.
