Alliance Island in an Uproar

"We should stay with Prefect Wen Weng for a while!"

If there's anything lacking in Zhang Xuezhou's life lately, it's that Zhang Xuezhou schedule has been too rushed, leaving some unresolved issues.

For example, he had to go to the Marquis of Pingyang's residence when he was about to return to reality.

But Zhang Xuezhou quickly had no time to reflect on his gains and losses during this period.

In another world shift, Zhang Xuezhou once again heard the chanting of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon machinery.

As endless darkness descended, Zhang Xuezhou could sense subtle sensations of his three souls and seven spirits being stretched, compressed, and torn.

If it weren't for the protection of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his three souls and seven spirits would likely have been torn to pieces during this kind of traversal.

If both worlds are to remain at peace, he and the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon are clearly inseparable.

This caused Zhang Xuezhou to Body Control movements, while the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon protected his three souls and seven spirits as they traveled back and forth to find refuge.

"I can only control different bodies as he moves around, but he... he currently has no ability to control his body at all."

The twelve days that Zhang Xuezhou was away were perhaps the time during which the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon came into contact with his body and attempted to take control of it.

In order to completely separate them, the two worlds and two different bodies may also be the plan of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

The more he interacted with people, the more Zhang Xuezhou learned.

With only two brief sensory transfers, Zhang Xuezhou knew he had gained the corresponding knowledge.

He has some good news right now: he is very likely to be cut up by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and there is a high probability that he will survive by avoiding fighting with them.

Zhang Xuezhou also had bad news: when the other party was cutting him apart, there was a very high probability that Zhang Xuezhou's three souls and seven spirits would reside in another body, making it difficult to control the behavior of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon possessing his body.

"My world is the source of cultivation techniques, so he probably doesn't want to give it up. However, I damaged the two bridges of heaven and earth in this world, so his target is very likely to shift to the real world!"

If a mutually destructive situation needs to be created, Zhang Xuezhou believes that in the real world, when he is in control of his body, he would crack open his head and then suffer the same trauma from the Heavenly Bridge and Earthly Bridge. If the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon do not have alternative methods, their lives would be over.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou's self-harming approach will also put him in an extremely awkward situation.

Regardless of whether he makes no further progress or seeks a cure, he will share the consequences with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon: either they die together, or he recovers from his injuries and everything remains the same, returning him to the starting point.

As Zhang Xuezhou grew stronger, his mindset did indeed gradually change.

From a clueless teenager, he has begun to figure out his own body's condition.

As he moved forward step by step, his confidence grew stronger little by little.

Like the legendary goddess Xuan Nu, who excels in battle, each victory forges a powerful belief, making her fearless in the face of challenges.

This is the path that Xuan Nu once walked, and Zhang Xuezhou is now repeating it in a different way.

He no longer feared the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon as he did in his teens, nor did he hysterically seek mutual destruction as he did in his twenties. Now that he was thirty, he could calmly view problems and would do everything possible to find solutions.

There seems to be no road ahead of him, but if he keeps walking step by step, he may find his own path.

"I now also have the Mirror Remains; this item can awaken you!"

Finally, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness. As Zhang Xuezhou greeted the light, he felt his eyes gradually open, and familiar faces came into view.

"He's awake! He's awake!"

"The timing is perfect!"

"Committee Member Li can relax a bit now!"

"Has the arguing stopped over there?"

Although Zhang Xuezhou worked at the B13 Research Institute before his world shift, the international conflict that takes place every few years will begin during this period.

Zhang Xuezhou also had the ability to fit into such situations, but his position was insufficient.

He wasn't there to compete, but rather to observe as a spectator.

Normally, an audience member is not very important, and Zhang Xuezhou has rarely seen any competition or concert extend its duration because of an audience member.

But things are so surreal; the most high-level international disputes did indeed have to be prolonged because of him.

Zhang Xuezhou's ability to work outside his Gene Sequence has indeed put him in a very clever situation. Only he can do things that no one else can do, so he will inevitably become an indispensable part of the process, and even the most urgent matters must be put on hold and waited for.

This wave of international conflict involves numerous overt and covert struggles, but more importantly, it involves hunting ferocious beasts.

No matter what kind of ferocious beasts are hunted, they will all be packed up and sent back to the Scarlet Alliance State. Those with suitable Gene Sequence can get a share of the spoils.

In this matter, not only is Ren Yisheng a person with a strong need for it, but several Sixth Sequence members of the Sequence Committee also have a strong need for it, as do many elderly members of the Twilight Mansion.

No matter what, the Seventh Sequence is still stronger than the Sixth Sequence.

Even if their entire focus is on extending lifespan, many elderly committee members are still willing to promote the Seventh Sequence.

This also led to coordination problems within the hunting party.

Even though many committee members had a long and tacit understanding, the change in the dominant hunter led to different needs in hunting methods.

The international disputes surrounding the testing method have thus extended the timeframe.

This may very well be an important way for Ren Yisheng to persuade many elderly committee members to take the stage.

Zhang Xuezhou opened his eyes and saw Ren Anran and Wang Haoran's faces besides Zhang Manqian. Chang Kongluo also Changkong Luo in and took a look, while Zuo Lianguang asked a question with great interest.

Changkong Luo and Zuo Lianguang appeared relatively calm, while Zhang Manqian and the others were clearly somewhat nervous, as dealing with the elderly Sequence Holder was not a reassuring experience.

After all the hard work of getting so many elderly people into the retirement home, few people would want to work with them.

It must be said that Ren Yisheng and his group took a risky step.

Whether it was to pressure the Aomeijia Alliance to change the international order, to intimidate, to try to adjust the form of the Scarlet Alliance State, or to guard against Huang Daoxian and others, a group of old masters emerged from the Twilight Mansion.

To avoid creating a tense atmosphere, Changkong Luo and the others kept a certain distance and did not get too close to Zhang Xuezhou and the others until Zhang Xuezhou woke up and then peeked out.

Hi everyone!

Zhang Xuezhou looked at everyone and then touched his somewhat empty stomach.

Time was tight; he even needed to memorize Divine Lord Zhenyuan's "Yin Talisman Scripture" and "Yang Talisman Scripture" while also dealing with the imminent international conflict and Qin Meng's hunting expedition.

If I'm not mistaken, Naggus, whom he has been communicating with repeatedly via email and other means, will also be involved in this international conflict. This would allow the two to have face-to-face contact, thus enabling them to learn some information about Huang Daoxian or Qin Meng.

"Alright, let's go through them one by one!"

Zhang Xuezhou could only silently repeat it to himself.

Nothing in the world is bigger than his belly, so regaining his strength and eating will obviously be his top priority.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to get up and follow Zhang Manqian to the dining area, a loud bang was heard outside the door, followed by a muffled groan.

"I didn't come to Alliance Island for a vacation. I don't have time to waste here talking nonsense. If you want to fight, fight now. If not, get lost!"

Montes's irritable voice rang out, followed by Zhou Rihui's low, gritting curses.

"Or we could just stop holding this lousy meeting altogether. Whoever wants something from another side can just cause trouble, set up a challenge, and see who can't hold out first!"

"That is!"

Then, a woman's cold voice, speaking in the Scarlet Alliance State, rang out again, prompting others to echo her.

"Since you didn't wait for our people to come to Alliance Island, don't blame us for not waiting for you next time!"

Having apparently received the news, Li Yingbo shouted with a fierce but inwardly weak voice, clearly indicating his compromise and agreement to the start of the struggle.

The door to Zhang Xuezhou's room was ripped open, and the wooden door panel was even lifted off the floor.

The scene was chaotic, like a vegetable market, and the sounds of shouting and physical altercations continued to rise.

"So it was that old devil Changkong Luo inside!"

The door was flung open, and a tall woman peeked into the room. The moment she saw Changkong Luo, she quickly ducked back in, then muttered a low complaint from outside the door.

"Slightly better than Pasteur's Changkong Luo?"

"This is your secret weapon? I thought Zhou Xin hid it here?"

"This isn't like thirty years ago. Changkong Luo, who was once ranked second, is now ranked ninth. Not only can Barton suppress Changkong Luo, but Ganghao and Clark can also suppress Changkong Luo!"

The woman's message elicited responses from several voices outside the door, accompanied by a few disdainful remarks, which made Changkong Luo's old face turn bright red.
