Chapter 679: After the Battle of Shenguan, the Realm is Improved, and Old Friends Meet and Return (E
"The host's emotional fluctuations have been detected, and a special item is rewarded: a bottle of infinite resurrection potion." The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Wu Hen's mind.
"Infinite resurrection potion? What's the use of this thing?" Wu Hen scratched his head, a little confused.
"As the name suggests, it can be resurrected unlimited times. However, it only works on the host himself."
Wu Hen's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh: "Oh my god! This is too awesome! Am I invincible now?"
He rubbed his hands excitedly, wishing he could find a monster to try it out right away.
When the smoke cleared, the scene was devastated.
Broken branches, shattered rocks, and the remains of monsters were scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Wu Hen laughed foolishly, imagining a scene in the future where he would fight with someone, get beaten to death but then immediately get up and continue fighting, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Let's go back." Guan Zai said expressionlessly, turned around and was about to tear open the space crack.
"Wait!" Zuo Qing suddenly spoke, his eyes gazing solemnly into the depths of the fog. "I feel like... there's something else hidden in there."
Guan Zai frowned: "What do you mean?"
Zuo Qing shook his head: "I can't explain it clearly, it's just a... very bad premonition."
Guan Zai hesitated for a moment and said, "Then wait and see."
Back at the Gods Mental Hospital, Wu Hen was still thinking about how to use the infinite resurrection potion to maximize the benefits.
He didn't notice the solemn expressions on Guan Zai and Zuo Qing's faces at all.
"I hope...it's just my illusion..." Zuo Qing whispered to himself.
At the same time, Shen Guan.
Lin Qiye felt something inside his body shatter, and then a powerful force surged throughout his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, his pale face regained its color, and his white hair turned back to black.
"This...what's going on?" Lin Qiye felt the surging power in his body and was a little bit unbelievable.
The system's voice rang out in his mind: "Congratulations to the host, you have turned a disaster into a blessing and have broken through to the Infinite Realm."
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.
He never imagined that the damage to his soul after removing the summoning magic would unexpectedly allow him to break through the realm!
This is an unexpected surprise!
"Captain! Are you okay?" Jia Lan rushed over, supported Lin Qiye, and asked with concern.
Lin Qiye smiled at her: "It's okay, just a little tired."
"That's great!" Jia Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and the other members of the Night Squad also gathered around, talking about Lin Qiye's condition.
"Captain, you were so handsome just now! That frost dragon was so cool!" Baili Pangpang said with admiration.
Lin Qiye smiled modestly: "It's all the result of everyone's joint efforts."
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed in front of Lin Qiye.
"Lin Qiye, long time no see." The man who came had long fiery red hair and looked heroic. It was the captain of the Phoenix team - Xia Simeng.
"Captain Xia." Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
"Are you okay?" Xia Simeng asked with concern.
"It's okay, I made you worry."
"It's okay."
Xia Simeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Commander Zuo asked me to take you back to Shangjing."
As soon as he finished speaking, a space crack appeared in front of everyone, and Zuo Qing walked out of the crack.
"Lin Qiye, Wu Hen, come back to Shangjing with me." Zuo Qing's tone was calm, but there was a barely perceptible solemnity in his eyes.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
"What happened?" Lin Qiye asked.
Zuo Qing shook his head: "Let's talk about it when we get back." After that, he turned and walked into the space crack.
Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and others also followed in.
The space crack slowly closed and disappeared into the air, leaving only a faint space fluctuation, as if it had never appeared.
Shenguan has returned to its former tranquility, but there seems to be a hint of uneasiness in the air, foreshadowing that a bigger storm is about to come.
Zuo Qing stood at the other end of the space crack, looking at Lin Qiye and Wu Hen, and slowly said: "There is something I need you to do..."
The space crack was like a wrinkled paper being slowly smoothed out, and Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and his group stepped out and landed steadily on the ground.
A familiar smell of air with a slight disinfectant scent entered their nostrils, telling them that they had returned to Shangjing.
"Huh... I'm finally back."
Baili Pangpang took an exaggerated breath and stretched, "The air in Shangjing still smells so comfortable!"
Lin Qiye ignored Baili Pangpang's antics. He was feeling the power surging in his body at the moment, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart.
In the Battle of Shenguan, he almost exhausted all his strength, and even his hair turned snow-white.
However, just when he thought he was about to die, a slight sound came from his body.
It was as if something was broken, and then a powerful force filled his whole body.
The white hair turned black again, even darker and shinier than before.
He tried to mobilize his mental power, and a wave of mental power more powerful than before responded to him.
"Boundless Realm..." Lin Qiye muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes full of disbelief.
He had briefly touched the threshold of the Boundless Realm before, but that feeling was fleeting, as illusory as a mirage.
And now, he has truly broken through to the Infinite Realm, and,
He felt that the mental power in his body was far more abundant than that of the average strong man in the Boundless Realm, and it seemed that there was still a lot of room for improvement.
He suddenly remembered that the [Eternal Secret Garden] had absorbed a large number of "mysterious" corpses, and he had a vague guess in his mind.
Could it be that the energy contained in those "mysterious" corpses was absorbed and transformed by the garden, and eventually fed back to itself?
"It's really...what a pleasant surprise." Lin Qiye's lips curled up into a smile. It seems that although this trip to Shenguan is dangerous, the gains are also huge.
At this moment, a hearty laugh was heard: "Hey, isn't this our Captain Lin? How come you came out of the fasting center so soon?"
Lin Qiye looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xia Simeng leading the Phoenix Team walking over with a teasing smile on his face.
"Captain Xia, you're joking. I didn't go to a fasting center, but to Shenguan, where I almost lost my life." Lin Qiye responded with a smile.
"I know I know,"
Xia Simeng waved his hand. "I heard that you were so powerful in Shenguan that you turned the tide and even defeated Klein's peak 'Mystery'. You're really amazing!"
"It's all the result of everyone's joint efforts." Lin Qiye smiled modestly.
"By the way, thank you Captain Xia for escorting me to...Chenguan." He almost let the cat out of the bag, but changed his words in time.
Xia Simeng naturally understood his hidden meaning, but she didn't point it out. She just smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. You're welcome."
"Speaking of which, we were able to defeat Shenguan thanks to Commander Zuo's timely arrival. Otherwise, we would have been unable to hold on."
At this point, her tone was filled with resentment: "I don't know what Commander Zuo is busy with. He always comes so late, making me worry for a long time."
At this moment, a green light descended from the sky, wrapped in chaotic mist, and landed in front of everyone.
The fog dissipated, revealing Zuo Qing's figure.
"Commander Zuo!" Xia Simeng hurriedly came forward, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Finally you're here. If you were any later, we would have really died there!"
Zuo Qing glanced at her calmly and said, "I'll try to arrive earlier next time."
He turned to look at Lin Qiye and Wu Hen, with a barely perceptible solemnity in his eyes: "Lin Qiye, Wu Hen, come with me, there is something I need you to do."
"What's the matter?" Lin Qiye asked.
Zuo Qing did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at them deeply and said in a low voice, "Follow me, and you will know."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the Demon Suppression Division headquarters building.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked at each other, and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes, but they still followed silently.
When he entered Zuo Qing's office, a strong smell of tobacco hit him in the face, choking him so much that he couldn't help coughing twice.
Zuo Qing sat behind his desk with a cigarette in his hand. The smoke made him look even more mysterious.
He raised his head, his eyes swept over Lin Qiye and Wu Hen sharply, and slowly said: "I called you here this time because I want you to carry out a top-secret mission..."
He paused, his tone becoming more serious, "This mission concerns the survival of all mankind!"
"It concerns the life and death of the entire human race!"
Zuo Qing's voice echoed in the smoky office, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen straightened their backs unconsciously, and an inexplicable sense of tension spread in their hearts.
Wu Hen muttered in his heart: "Oh my god, is this serious? Are they going to ask me to save the world again?"
"Speaking of which, I just saved someone once last month. Can you give me a break?"
The system popped up in his mind at the right time: "It is detected that the host is facing a difficult challenge."
"The reward is an epic item—Universe Invincible, Thunderbolt Invincible, Super Invincible... well... in short, it's a very invincible lighter!"
Wu Hen almost vomited blood: "Lighter? What can this thing do?"
"Ignite? Do I need an ignition? What I need now is a bomb! A nuclear bomb! Do you understand?"
Zuo Qing flicked the ash from his cigarette and continued, "According to the intelligence we've received, an organization called 'Eternal Night' is secretly plotting a conspiracy that could destroy humanity."
He paused, staring at the two of them sharply.
"Their goal is to awaken the ancient evil god Cthulhu, who sleeps beneath the Arctic glaciers!"
Lin Qiye frowned and asked in a deep voice, "'Eternal Night'? Who is this organization? What is their purpose?"
"The identities of the members of 'Eternal Night' are extremely secretive. We currently only know that their leader is a mysterious figure who calls himself 'The Prophet.'"
Zuo Qing took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled slowly, "As for their purpose..."
He shook his head. "We don't know yet, but one thing is certain: once Cthulhu is awakened, the entire human world will fall into an abyss of no return!"
Wu Hen couldn't help but interrupt: "Cthulhu? What the hell is that? Is it powerful?"
"Cthulhu is a god from ancient times, possessing the power to destroy the world." Zuo Qing
"Then what should we do?" Lin Qiye asked.
Zuo Qing handed a document to Lin Qiye: "This is the intelligence we currently have about the 'Eternal Night' organization. Take a look at it first."
Lin Qiye took the document and read it carefully.
Wu Hen looked around boredly, thinking about how to get that
"Universe Invincible Thunderbolt Invincible Super Invincible...Lighter" is used in the right way.
After a while, Lin Qiye put down the documents and looked up at Zuo Qing: "Commander Zuo, what do we need to do?"
"We need you to go to the Arctic to stop the conspiracy of the 'Eternal Night' organization and prevent Cthulhu from awakening!"
Zuo Qing said firmly, "This mission is extremely dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed. Do you... have the confidence to complete it?"
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked at each other, both of them with burning fighting spirit in their eyes.
"Of course!" Lin Qiye said firmly.
"necessary!"
Wu Hen grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Saving the world is my favorite thing!"
But I silently added in my heart, "Only if I don't use a lighter to fight Cthulhu..."
"it is good!"
Zuo Qing nodded heavily, "I'll wait for your triumphant return!"
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen turned and left the office, preparing to head to the North Pole.
Before leaving, Zuo Qing suddenly called them.
"and many more,"
Zuo Qing's expression became serious.
"One more thing... Hibernil and Tallulah's recent behavior has been somewhat unusual. I'm worried that the situation in the North will change..."
He paused, looked deeply into the distance, and said in a low voice: "I hope... my worries are unnecessary..."
