Linghong State, Neon City.
Niwang City is one of the most beautiful cities in Hezhong. Every time the rain passes and the sky clears, there is a colorful rainbow bridge crossing the sky. People can cross long distances in an instant by stepping on the rainbow. In the Neon City, the Rainbow Bridge is organized into a network covering the city. Citizens can travel around the city as they please without waiting for rain, and enjoy travel that is more convenient and faster than any other means of transportation.
In recent days, Neon City has lost its luster. More than half of the Hongqiao bridges have broken, allowing people to ride in cars and aircraft again. Most citizens are talking about the recent unusual weather conditions, while a few insiders are full of doubts. Linghong State has always been the territory of the old grandfather. They didn't know why Hong Yiqing remained silent. They could only guess in their hearts whether this was a statement or a hint to the outside world that the little characters could not understand...
And the truth is much simpler than they imagined. The Rainbow Bridge was broken because the bridge was cut down. Hong Yiqing did not come forward because the man who cut down the bridge was sitting in front of him.
This is a retro pavilion in the style of the Southern Continent. It has a bright yellow roof with cornices and four large vermilion pillars supporting the four sides. There is a stone table in the middle of the pavilion, and the spring water in the pot has just boiled and is waiting to be brewed. The tea maker is not a swordsman from the empire, but an old man from Hezhong. "Hongyi Qing" Celeste Hadrian picked up the purple clay pot and filled the tea bowl with a calm and natural technique, as skillful as a native of Shenjing.
Qin Ming took the cup and tasted it: "Good tea."
"I personally went to the empire to find this pot and tea. Naturally, all I like are good things." The old man smiled proudly, "I heard that you have always been a free swordsman."
"Well..." Qin Ming thought for a while, "That's right."
"A free person should walk around and not always stay in one place." The old man said with a smile, "A free person should not restrict the freedom of others."
"You can go wherever you want." Qin Ming said, "As long as you don't go to Meteor City."
"I was just about to go to Meteor City."
Qin Ming said distressedly: "Well...then I have to stop you."
Hong Yiqing was not anxious at all. He looked at the young man across the stone table with a small teacup in his hand, feeling a little funny.
"Don't you always love fighting the most? There is going to be a big battle in Meteor City. You will definitely not be short of opponents then, so why do you want to drink tea with me here?"
Qin Ming sighed. This usually carefree man was actually a little worried now.
"Who should I fight with when I get there? If I help Yan Qi, Situ will die. If I help Situ, Yan Qi and Xiao Qian will die. If you don't feel happy no matter how you fight, it's better not to fight."
Hong Yiqing said seriously: "You have more friends in the Sky City, so you should help Yan Qi."
"Friendship can't do arithmetic." Qin Ming said, "I can't help either party. After thinking about it, I have to drag you here and let them handle it by themselves."
Hong Yiqing nodded, as if he understood. He finished the tea and said with great interest, "I heard that your world-creation method was developed by the way when you were practicing the art of returning to heaven."
"yes."
"So are you a true world-creation peak, or a warrior who knows the world-creation method?" Hong Yiqing said with a smile, "I'm very curious."
"Hmm..." Qin Ming held the handle of the knife, "Try it?"
"What a good idea." The old man stood up, "Why don't we try it?"
In a city far away from the center of the battle, the battle between the creation envoys began. This is the first battle of the Meteor City Incident, and it is destined to have nothing to do with the battle situation and is a battle for spectators.
And those battles closely related to the situation are also taking place at the same time. The less important figures have been fighting for several days, and they will continue to fight.

Brown Ark State, Ark City.
The Brown Boat State, located on the northeast side of Hezhong, has always been a peaceful and peaceful little place. It plays an important role in providing natural resources to the Bright Light State. The locals live a life that is neither interesting nor fun. Today, local people are facing the most frightening day in recent years. Several buildings in the city center collapsed, and dozens of unconscious people fell on the streets along with countless automatic devices. The whole scene looked like a bizarre scene shot in a disaster movie. . The citizens all speculated that it was some gangster organization or a terrorist attack, but no one saw a few figures hidden in the smoke.
"I remember that you ninjas fight in secret?" Beretta coughed hard in the smoke.
“Security is not considered when efficiency is the priority.”
The giant ninja Smash gave a rough reply, using his giant palm to pick up a small brown salamander-like thing. Shatter took out a small cross from his waist bag and put it on the totem's head, coating it with an illusory silver light.
After the commotion in the Firewind State ended, support from various countries was gathered, and the battle for the totem began. Before falling asleep, Servais took the time to develop a small, easy-to-carry weapon, which she claimed could put her "mark" on the totem. Therefore, what the Cangdu side has to do is very simple, make every effort to protect its own core totems, control as many enemy or neutral totems as possible, and ensure that the combat power levels of both sides are maintained at a basically stable state.
The commander-in-chief of this totem battle is the Skeleton Head from the Sky Capital, and the results he achieved are quite gratifying. Before the battle started, the number of totems on the church side was reduced to 19 due to Judas' betrayal. Gaius' side controlled 26 totems and 6 neutral totems. Now that the neutral totems no longer exist, the raid planned by Gushou yesterday helped the church take control of 4 totems, and the totem ratio between the two sides was 23:28.
"It's 24:27...no, 25?"
"Unfortunately, it's still 24." Knight Rakel's voice sounded in the communication channel, "My team took back the Blade Rain State, but Gaius's ambush captured the Snow Burning State, and the two sides were even. Blade Rain This poor hedgehog has changed hands three times in the past three days, and now he feels like vomiting when he sees the cross."
"It's actually pitiful," Smash said. Since the giant ninja rarely spoke politely, Beretta doubted he was serious.
She took some time out of her busy schedule to open a private communication channel and chatted privately with the knights of the kingdom: "Hey, Knight Rakel? Just asking for a private matter, is there a female spy in your kingdom who has recently come to Hezhong to perform a mission? She has a washboard figure, short hair, and is used to walking around. earring."
"There seems to be such a lady in my mind." Raquel chose his words carefully, "It is inconvenient to disclose the current situation due to political reasons."
"I heard that all the people in your kingdom are gentlemen. If you have the opportunity, please pass on a message to me. Just say that life is a long road, and you can start over again after parting once."
"I'm happy to serve you, if I have a chance to meet her." Raquel switched back to the public channel smoothly, "I'm more worried about the defense of the Fire Wind State. After all, it is a strategic location, but the Convicting Gun is there. The bright light is on standby..."
"There is absolutely no need to worry there." Beretta pulled out her long sword and pierced the chest of the new enemy. "We have hired a very capable bodyguard for Huo Feng."

In the Fire and Wind State, in front of the burial ground of the saint.
Thirty seconds ago, there were three manifestation magicians here attacking together. Each of them is a first-class expert, each of them has rich mission experience, and the best among them has the wonderful experience of controlling a city alone. Thirty seconds later they were lying on the dusty ground like rag bags, and the person who eliminated them only used one move.
Ranger Werther sat on the big stone with an ax in his hand, holding a cigarette in his mouth, feeling a little sad.
"I also want to break into Meteor City..."
"You are not allowed to go! There are four ground-breaking combat forces guaranteed in the city. Is that a place you can go? Situ Yi will control your brain at a glance!" Honorwell chatted on the communication channel. Nagging, this old educator was the one who led him into the ranger business back then.
Ranger Werther held the headset farther away and said dullly: "But the mission is to guard the grave..."
Honorwell sighed and decided to tell him the truth: "Witt, do you know whose grave you are guarding?"
"who?"
"Saint, legendary saint." Honorwell emphasized word by word, "Your mission is to guard her until she comes out of the grave."
The blond ranger sat frozen on the stone until the burning cigarette burned his lips. He took off the cigarette butt: "Oh my God."
"If you understand, then do it well."
"Definitely."
Werther looked back and felt that his mission shouldn't be long. The breath hidden in the deep mountains is growing regularly, like a silent heartbeat.
He sat back on the stone and began to think in his spare time. There was probably fighting all over Hezhu. The big shots in Meteor City seemed to be very calm. I wonder what the people in Sky City were doing.

The capital of the sky, Cangshou District.
Orus Optimis sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking at the passing street scene through the one-way glass. This car was driving towards the building in Cangshou District, reminding him of himself when he visited Hong Yiqing. At that time, he was arrogant, full of confidence, and determined to win the victory and status he was about to obtain. He was looking forward to and fearful at the same time, looking forward to the approval of the big shots and fearing the cold eyes of the big shots.
"Are you okay, Orus?" Kreya, who was driving, asked softly.
"I'm calm," Orus said. He didn't lie. When a person's most stupid and ugly posture is seen by the people he cares about the most, it will be difficult for him to care about other people's opinions.
"I feel really good now. For the first time since that setback four years ago, I figured out who I am and what I should do. I didn't go to that building to prove myself. , but to fulfill the responsibilities I shoulder.
The silver car parked gently at the entrance of the building. Kreya tapped the steering wheel and thought for a while before speaking.
"...We are all worried about your failure."
"I can't be slapped by a lady in vain." Aulus smiled, "Kreya, do you remember what I used to say?"
"Talent, meaning."
"The meaning of life. The meaning of actions. Gongsun Ce feels that the emotions rushing in his heart are the meaning of his battle. Now I can understand his thoughts to a certain extent... But I still feel that my father's and my thinking back then were not wrong." Ruth said, "Life is meaningful. Everyone is born in this world to accomplish certain things and to meet certain people. If I become a depressed waste, then your actions with everyone will be meaningless. It’s meaningless, isn’t it? I don’t want Kreya Kalash to abandon this great opportunity and return to Cangdu, only to rescue an incompetent waste.”
Claire looked at him sideways, her green eyes full of love.
"Aulus, can you tell me something else? I'm tired of your ideals and talent theory."
Orus tugged at the broken hair in front of his forehead and struggled for a while before whispering.
"...I don't want to shame my lovers and friends."
"That's ridiculous!" Kreya pushed him, "Go quickly, leader of the light core!"
"Please let me drive next time."
Orus stepped out of the car and straightened his collar and tie. He put on the white dress he wore back then. Even though he was no longer the leader of the superpower organization, he still moved with confidence and elegance rooted in his bones, even though he had long lost his abilities. He stepped into the center of power in the Sky City amidst the hustle and bustle of discussion, and walked into the command room on the 66th floor following the sound of the time bell.
The portrait of an old rival was flashing on the big screen. The gray-haired young man was full of confusion: "A temporary combat consultant? Didn't we discuss it several times before and have to change the combat plan... What a fool?!"
Aurus sat down at the table left for him, crossed his hands, and showed his old acquaintance a smile that was different from that of the past.
"Long time no see, Gongsun Ce." Orus flexed his fingers, "I would like to express my sincere respect for your achievements and great deeds so far. I, Orus Optimis, am responsible for the battle plan for this invasion of Meteor City. Temporary command, I hope we can cooperate smoothly in this important mission."
"You? Why, personal grudge?" Gongsun Ce narrowed his eyes.
"There is no grudge. I respect my father, in the past and now." Aurus said, "I just want my father to realize his mistake-hostility to feelings is a stupid choice. If you don't understand this, He will eventually fail."

At the same moment, Dingyi District.
Mo Yuankai sat on his sofa, quietly looking at the screen that occupied most of the wall. In the past, he often projected design drawings or the conditions in various parts of the city on this screen. Now the big screen was dark, reflecting his silent face like a dark mirror.
"Mo?" Orianna walked down the stairs from the second floor. She found that the shoes at the door had changed positions, "Where were you just now?"
"I went to send a bouquet of flowers to Tyros, and took a look at Kapulo's condition." Mo Yuankai said, "He is recovering well and the degree of malignancy is not deep. In a few months, maybe I can go out for a walk.”
Orianna was silent for a while, then sat next to him and held her lover's hand.
"It's not your fault," she said.
"I understand the truth, but over the years I still think, if I could have done better at that time, would the capital be able to escape the disaster?" Mo Yuankai looked gloomy, "I am a person who does not deserve the name. Hero, Orianna. Ace cheered up quickly, but I have always been decadent, living like this stupid and stupid person. You must have been disappointed when you saw me at the time, I was so disappointed in myself. .”
Orianna raised her hand and placed it against his chest.
"Mo, hold your chest up and your head up." Orianna said, "Tianji told me your difficulties a few days ago. I can't imagine how you persisted in the past four years... I have never felt disappointed with you, and I respect you. Be proud of it.”
Mo Yuankai was startled: "Wow, what is he doing?! He promised to keep it a secret for me!"
"Sir, I am your lover, and I have the right to know." Orianna leaned on his shoulder, "Don't worry about anything, tell me what you think?"
Mo Yuankai was silent for a long time and clasped his hands together.
"I said before that I am an embarrassing and conspicuous man, but I don't want to be embarrassed forever. I have been waiting for four years just for a chance of revenge. Situ Yi finally appeared again, no matter how powerful he has become... I Everyone wants to go there in person and settle this grudge completely!"
When Mo Yuankai spoke again, he straightened his back and raised his voice. He is no longer the otaku who always stayed at home. He seems to have returned to the young hero who was so confident that he was almost arrogant. He has the will and determination to put an end to all this chaos with his own hands. Orianna blinked hard and smiled beautifully.
"Let it go, Mo! You have me, Gongsun Ce, Alandia, and your friends by your side. No matter what the consequences will be, we will face it with you!"

The people standing on the side of the Sky City are ready to step into the vortex of karma. The careerists in Meteor City are still carrying out their plans step by step.
And in the distant underground of Meteor City, the man who caused all these grievances came to the final end of his heavy script. He laughed happily, and his sharp voice sounded like thousands of ghosts howling underground.
"Everything is ready, the drama is completed!"
The Lord of the Invisible Law stood behind the man and said expressionlessly: "What drama did you write that is worth giving up the opportunity to interfere with Jihui Division?"
Situ Yi picked up his extremely heavy script, opened one of the pages at random, and said with a smile, "Have you ever met Moulton Lee?"
"do not know."
"Molton is an ordinary police inspector who lives in the Blade Rain State and works in Water Curtain City. He is honest and responsible by nature and often misses his hometown. He just bought a fairy tale for his daughter today." Situ Yi said like a song. , and mentioned another person’s name, “Do you know Justo Renn?”
"never seen it."
"Justo works as an airport guide. He is funny and loves collecting prosthetics. Last week he got himself a new arm. Today he took a day off to go see his old sweetheart."
Situ Yi still had that mysterious smile on his face, and he mentioned several unfamiliar names: "Padis Dadarion? Raedel Popoka? Safin Halton?"
"I don't recognize it."
"Of course you don't recognize it! They are neither noble nor inferior than others, nor are they stronger or weaker than others. They are all small characters, ordinary, they can be seen everywhere, but they are inseparable from this country!" Situ Yi stood up, " Please listen to me explain in detail, this country is called the United States of Usters, and these little people are the ‘people’ of this country!”
The big script lay quietly on the table. The Lord of Hidden Law stepped forward to take a look and saw the simple name on the cover:
"Appearances of All Living Beings".
