Chapter 1 Chaoge City

Wu Yu sat at the altar, his expression devout and peaceful.

When he opened his eyes, as expected, there was no reaction at the altar. If it weren't for the simple talisman array now enveloping the entire city of Chaoge, and the few mountain and water gods stationed here, protecting it from frequent monster attacks, he would have suspected that the mountain god [Wei] who had appeared before was just a dream.

However, it has now basically entered a stage of peace and stability.

They can eat their fill, and the elderly and children under fourteen no longer have to hold weapons.

Of course, they still need to fight with monsters and still need to go out to find food.

But compared to the past few years, it is already so much better.

The sound of war drums came from his ears, so Wu Yu, the Chaoge City witch, stood up, took up his weapon, and left this place—even with the protection of the mountain gods, the great demons outside still coveted this gathering place of the human race.

They often try to attack the city under the command of powerful demon gods.

At this time, the three mountain gods will help resist most of the monsters, and the people of Chaoge City also possess the martial virtues of Yan and Huang, and they will hold weapons to protect the land under their feet, but this time, there seem to be more monsters appearing.

Moreover, their strength exceeded the expectations of the three mountain gods. It would be more accurate to say that the enemy had specifically found great demons qualified to entangle with the three mountain gods. After all, the mountain gods only followed the contract with the mountains and rivers; they were strong, but not invincible.

Wu Yu gripped his sword tightly.

The Chaoge City warrior commander, Fei Yu, next to him looked indifferent.

He is a descendant of Feilian.

"It's time to continue fighting on our own, as we have in the past."

Even the elderly over sixty and the children under fourteen gripped their weapons tightly. Survival has never been a matter of course; it is a qualification that must be earned with all one's might. Chaoge City has long understood this point.

The Yanhuang lineage refers to itself as "I."

And "I," in the oracle bone script of the Shang Dynasty, represents a weapon, a battle-axe.

The bravery and martial virtues of Yan and Huang have long been buried in their writing. And the meaning of "E," although later generations call it a soft dancer, in the original script, it represents a woman wielding a battle-axe.

"Take up arms, step forward, fight."

A cold tone, a calm response, those who hold the *ge* (a type of ancient Chinese spear-axe) step forward, even the old and the children.

Like the fangs of beasts, staring intently at the ferocious beasts outside the city.

And at this moment, behind them at the altar, the towering peak suddenly trembled violently, and then directly collapsed. Accompanied by the sound, someone coughed violently and said, "Damn it... I didn't calculate the spatial parameters correctly. It turns out that the Daoist sleeve universe (sleeve universe - a Daoist magic that allows one to store a vast space within their sleeves) conflicts with the Shang Dynasty's teleportation array."

"Space within space, the result is a direct explosion."

"It's really motherfucking intestines within intestines..."

Then the voice was surprised and said, "Curator Wei, there seems to be a monster attack on this side."

"We'll go help over there too."

"Curator Wei?"

The voice sighed: "It's not good, Miss Jue's words were too lethal, this person is stupid, but it's almost there, we can go."

"Hmm? Who is it..."

"Sounds like Shenzhou language?"

Fei Yu was uneasy, and then he heard calm footsteps, so neat that they sounded like one person.

"Special Operations Team, Third Operations Group begins operations."

"War Zone Azure Dragon Group joins the battlefield."

"Protect civilians, prioritize the elderly and children."

In the collapsed ancient altar, figures in camouflage moved quickly, their expressions calm and indifferent, their movements sharp and decisive. This is Shenzhou's first purely extraordinary army, composed of elite special forces gathered from major war zones, forcibly enhancing the combat power of individual soldiers at the cost of massive consumption of Buddhist relics.

Basic qualities—

Modern military combat qualities.

Possessing the thirteenth level of the Shenzhou Ancient Martial Golden Bell Cover hard training technique, enough to resist low-level spells.

Able to ignore close-range shots from small-caliber firearms.

Daoist footwork cultivated to the third level or above.

Depending on the combat unit, they master three to five types of spell abilities.

Possess military formation skills.

Invariably equipped with auxiliaries skilled in *Qimen* formations (Qimen - a type of ancient Chinese divination).

Personal equipment, backpacks inscribed with Daoist *Hutian* (Hutian - a Daoist magic art of creating pocket dimensions) techniques, talismans, special assault equipment, individual soldier rocket launchers, first aid backpacks, simulated to have the combat capability to penetrate an extraordinary force within one hour, and in Bai Ze's evaluation, they have reached the combat level of a front-line army in the Great Wilderness.

'Although it paid a great price'

'It is an army sufficient to participate in the war of myths.'

These soldiers from the modern era stepped into Chaoge, entering the legendary battlefield with squad formation combat methods that had been simulated countless times. Fei Yu was shocked, seeing these warriors arrive in front, communicating with simple language.

"Shenzhou support, please retreat."

The soldier glanced at the thirteen-year-old child next to him.

He said, "Child, evacuate the battlefield."

He took out a piece of candy from his pocket, handed it over, and then took the knife from the child's hand.

The monster group was puzzled. The leading monster glanced at them and sneered, "Their cultivation seems to be not bad, but that's all. What use are these hundred or so people? Not even enough to fill our stomachs..."

"And what are those weapons?"

"Hmph, strange-looking tubes?"

The modern warriors who stepped onto the battlefield completed their battlefield preparations at an extremely fast speed.

The dark special firearms transformed with a series of clicks, the dark muzzles calmly pointing forward. If viewed from a high altitude, this area had almost been transformed into a standard Shenzhou war-violent style.

Sufficient firepower, multi-directional cross-locking.

The political commissar among them said loudly in the learned Chaoge language:

"This place is Chaoge City."

"We are Shenzhou, Chaoge City has been Shenzhou territory since ancient times."

"According to Shenzhou law, principle of territoriality, this place falls under the protection of our Shenzhou, and the people here enjoy the treatment of Shenzhou citizens. All you demons, please immediately abandon the encirclement, immediately retreat, otherwise we have the right to retaliate and defend our national territorial integrity."

This action seemed to stun the monster commander for a moment, and then he laughed loudly.

"What, what is this? A fool?!"

"Hahahaha, you want us to retreat with those tubes?"

Fei Yu didn't understand either. The commander calmly said:

"This place is Chaoge City, the inherent territory of Shenzhou, and under the protection of our Shenzhou. All you demons should understand the human language, please immediately abandon the encirclement, immediately retreat, otherwise we have the right to retaliate and defend Shenzhou's territorial integrity."

The sounds of laughter and beast roars mixed together.

The commander said to his combat recorder, "One warning, two warnings."

"This is the third warning."

"Please retreat immediately."

"Three warnings have been ineffective, our side has fulfilled the Shenzhou War Agreement and is about to take mandatory measures. Report completed, opening self-defense counterattack mode. Shenzhou is a place that loves peace."

He fastened the combat recorder and raised his hand: "Everyone, maximum power strafing."

The clicking sounds rang out simultaneously. The dark steel, a byproduct of Shenzhou's 'Kua Fu Project' (Kua Fu - a figure in Chinese mythology who chased the sun) and 'Zhurong Project' (Zhurong - the Chinese god of fire), was based on materials sufficient to withstand the high temperatures on the surface of the sun, changing the original gunpowder explosion-driven weapon. At this moment, it was replaced with *fa li* (fa li - the power cultivated through cultivation) that inputted fixed techniques, accumulating power and then erupting.

As long as the cultivation is sufficient, then the kinetic energy released after accumulating power far exceeds the fixed gunpowder ammunition, and because the firearm can only be used with *fa li* (fa li - the power cultivated through cultivation) of Shenzhou techniques, it is sufficiently confidential.

"Fire."

The laughter and roars of the monsters were in the previous moment, this was from the legendary wilderness.

In the next moment, the transcendent technological creations of firearms erupted with the metal storm belonging to the human world.

The terrifying kinetic energy erupted based on *fa li* (fa li - the power cultivated through cultivation), from the special ammunition after the Zhurong Project.

The crazy torrent of metal directly swept the front.

And the Daoist *Hutian* (Hutian - a Daoist magic art of creating pocket dimensions) backpacks were enough to turn each of these warriors into a turret.

At the highest point of the city, a warrior with a height of two meters and three meters directly pulled down his helmet. He was bald, laughed loudly, and was once a Buddhist disciple. He had the strongest hard training, and the weapon in his hand was a super-powered Gatling gun weighing three thousand kilograms.

It came from the Kua Fu Project.

Inputting the *fa li* (fa li - the power cultivated through cultivation) of Buddhist techniques will transform it into electricity, forcibly activating the electromagnetic acceleration mode.

Under the blue electric light, special material ammunition frantically swept out.

In the end, it even turned into pure *fa li* (fa li - the power cultivated through cultivation) ammunition.

These weapons usually accumulate *fa li* (fa li - the power cultivated through cultivation) to ensure the outbreak during wartime.

The golden Buddhist light ammunition frantically strafed, the Buddhist disciple laughed loudly, chanting the *Amitabha Fundamental Rebirth Mantra*. The terrifying first wave of ammunition washed over, and the monster's charge was actually stopped abruptly. Then, when the ammunition was exhausted, the monster leader was overjoyed and said, "Charge up immediately!!!"

"They don't have enough firepower!!"

"Hmm?"

He suddenly paused, seeing a man in dark camouflage raising his thumb at him in the distance.

What does that mean?

In the next moment, the warrior in dark camouflage directly took out a two-meter-three-long individual soldier rocket from his *Hutian* (Hutian - a Daoist magic art of creating pocket dimensions) backpack, then aimed, and then, in the next moment...

The monster saw a meteor shower...

The roaring explosion lasted for a full half an hour.

The outside was almost completely plowed by the weapons after being transformed by transcendent technology.

The outside monster army almost turned into rotten meat, only the two strongest were able to break through such a cross-blockade. Seeing such results, Fei Yu and Wu Yu couldn't recover for a long time. He walked over, wanting to congratulate the commander and thank him.

But he saw the commander take off his tactical glasses and smash his fist down hard.

"Damn it, they still got away..."

The expression on his face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "The firepower is still not enough!"

"What are those guys in the equipment department doing?!"

Fei Yu: "…………"

Stiffly turning his head, looking at the black land that had been plowed over and over again.

Still, still not enough...

The tall Buddhist monk put away his weapon, sighed, looked at the tragically dead monsters, lowered his eyes, then put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Amitabha, sin, sin..."

Wu Yu said, "...Are you also a witch, Your Excellency? Are you... performing a *chao du* (a Taoist ritual to help souls move on) for the dead?"

The monk said with compassion: "All beings are equal, killing is a sin..."

Wu Yu opened his mouth, and said: "Then why were you so energetic just now..."

The monk solemnly replied: "All beings are equal, all can be presented to the Tathagata."

"The sin of eating people is unforgivable."

"Therefore, this humble monk is just sending them to see the Buddha, Amitabha..."

Wu Yu was speechless and said, "What is the weapon Your Excellency is using...?"

The monk picked up the specially modified, three-thousand-kilogram giant gun, and said:

"Its name is Peace Envoy 10086!"

Wu Yu: "…………"

Peace, envoy?

Wei Yuan sat high up, in this battle, he didn't take action at all, just watching the power of the human world sweep away this tide of beasts that was already enough to destroy the city, after a long time, he said: "...It seems that the changes in the human world are faster than I imagined..."

Zhang Hao nodded and said: "The plan is for the standing special forces of the human world's Shenzhou to reach this benchmark in a hundred years, or about two hundred years. Of course, it's very difficult. This batch is already the absolute elite of the human world, and seven or eight percent of the Buddhist relics have also been consumed."

"Ordinary people don't have the talent to cultivate the Golden Bell Cover to the thirteenth level."

"Warriors at this stage are already enough like Bodhidharma, immune to knife and sword attacks and bullet shots, and directly ignore a certain level of spell attacks. These hundred or so people are simply equivalent to a hundred Bodhidharmas..." Zhang Hao twitched the corner of his mouth.

But it's all worth it.

He thought.

Wei Yuan also thought so. He looked around, and suddenly his face stiffened, and said:

"Wait a moment..."

"Where did Zheng Ge (nickname for Qin Shi Huang) and Qi go?!"
