Qin Che remained silent for a long time: "Just lucky."

Old Man Qiu exclaimed with delight, "A fourth-stage extraordinary being, unprecedented and unparalleled, is truly excellent."

He even clapped.

Because he could clearly sense the spiritual pressure and aura emanating from Qin Che's body.

That aura... made him quite wary.

Without a doubt, Qin Che now could instantly kill him, the Pope.

Even if you can't kill it instantly, the final result will be the same.

Unexpected...

So many years have passed.

From the old world to the present, Qin Che is the first demigod that Old Man Qiu has ever seen.

"You know about demigods?"

“I have read through ancient books. Many books from the old world can no longer be found, but there is a library I built underground in the Vatican.”

Old Man Qiu stepped forward with his hands behind his back: "That contains some documents from the Dark Ages. I read the word 'demigod' in it."

"The fourth stage is transcendence and sainthood, which makes one a true saint."

Qin Che: "According to our agreement, what are your plans next..."

Old Man Qiu sighed: "Ed is not dead yet, he has gone into hiding. The Holy See cannot be moved away with you to the Ice Plains."

"I can help you find him."

Qin Che closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings, able to encompass the entire Central Plains within his perception range.

Old Man Qiu gasped: "Can we really find him?"

“I have learned his coordinates…” Qin Che opened his eyes. “After the mainframe was destroyed, the Iron Beast Army could no longer replenish its effective manpower. Ed clearly wanted to preserve his strength.”

Old Man Qiu stepped forward and grabbed Qin Che's wrist: "Come with me, let's kill him."

“Old man, I need to go to the Ice Plains at any time,” Qin Che said. “There’s also a demigod in Jade Capital. He hasn’t awakened yet, but he will soon, and it will happen soon…”

"this……"

Old Man Qiu's expression turned serious.

Do demigods still exist in the world?

“I once sensed His presence in Jade Capital. Later, I was forced to retreat. It was a terrifying place. The essence of the imperial ruins was in His hands.”

Old Man Qiu: "What is it?"

Qin Che looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, towards the direction of the ice plains: "The Heart of Psychic Energy, it is the source."

Old Man Qiu: "It has been recorded in the documents that psionic energy came from the Empire, and they dug up something incredible underground."

“That’s it,” Qin Che replied.

“I understand. You can go ahead then.” Old Man Qiu waved his hand. “I’ll meet you at the Ice Plains after I’ve dealt with the fighting here.”

"good."

Qin Che no longer takes Ed's mother body seriously.

That's just an ant.

The most important thing now is for him to rush to the Ice Plains to take charge before the Ice Plains King awakens, and maybe even go to Jade Capital to personally guard the country's gates!

Old Man Qiu saw him disappear.

This kid's teleportation always comes and goes without a trace.

I'm so envious...

He also wanted these rare traits in Qin Che.

Unfortunately, the old man didn't have any of these.

His expression turned serious again. He summoned the Pope, made arrangements, and then personally went to find the location according to the coordinates given by Qin Che.

...

Ed took the remaining clones and hid deep in the mountains.

Beyond the river lies a vast, endless mountain range.

Before the Dark Ages, it was a vital route stretching across the Central Plains, passing through Shanxi and Shandong.

Taihang!

Deep in the mountains and forests, one can sometimes hear the sounds of birds and beasts hooves.

Ed and thousands of T1 warriors set up camp on the spot. He stood at the bottom of a mountain pass, hands on his hips, trying to relieve the stuffiness in his chest.

"The Hive host suddenly lost contact and can no longer be connected. Something must have happened on the main island."

Behind Ed was a group of T1 officers.

They are all clones of Unit 1.

But with the outbreak of total war, apart from Ed, the remaining ten people had not yet awakened and were all lying in incubation pods...

The plan was to release the remaining ten people gradually before the war reached its climax.

But once the Hive host is destroyed, these ten people are like being imprisoned in an endless dungeon, never to be released again.

Ed was like bait left behind in hell.

Now he can only hide.

They've lost their former arrogance.

The atmosphere at the camp was low.

The T1 officers acted on Ed's orders, each harboring little hope for the future.

Their emotions fluctuate very little.

But all of that is controlled by the cellular host.

Now that the brain-computer interface is gone, everyone seems to have been freed from their constraints. With their emotions amplified, they have begun to reject this war.

For several days in a row, deserters appeared.

Ed ordered the officers to capture and execute them one by one.

But this still couldn't deter these clones.

"If the fighting continues, we might not be able to go home."

"Go home? Hah... The brain-computer interface is down, the house has already been ransacked."

"What's the point? We might as well surrender sooner..."

"When they left, the main force was still retreating, while the Papacy had already gained a complete advantage..."

Inside the barracks, the clones were groaning incessantly.

They lowered their heads and muttered complaints about the war, calling them an unjust army.

The clones' memories are still preserved and will not be affected by the destruction of the Hive host, but their emotional problems are something no one can solve.

"More than ten deserters have been killed."

"We can't leave, and we have no way to leave."

Thump thump thump—

The sound of military boots pounding the ground could be heard outside.

An officer walked into the barracks with his hands behind his back, looking at everyone with a solemn expression.
