All countries concentrated their efforts to explore the relics of each country, trying to find traces of the evil church.

As a result, they really found it.

But what happened next was beyond many people’s expectations - they thought it would be a one-sided massacre like the one in Daxia, but the fact was... the official forces of various countries suffered a heavy blow.

Because as soon as they found these strongholds, divine power descended.

They were a kind of strange existence. When they appeared, they were extremely angry and launched a devastating attack on officials from various countries who entered the ruins.

In the end, the evil church did not suffer too much loss, but the officials of various countries were severely damaged and finally fled the ruins in a panic...

Then their faces turned extremely ugly, and they figured out what went wrong...

Time difference! Daxia caught these evil churches off guard, and Qin Jinnian had already informed the Daxia officials that the strongholds of the evil churches were all guarded by spirits.

Those guardian spirits are similar to strange existences, which are the spiritual power of the "statues" worshipped by the evil believers in the stronghold.

The sneak attack, coupled with the night watchmen destroying the statues immediately, and with Qin Jinnian's covert help, the 'guardian spirits' did not appear at all... This led to the subsequent brilliant results.

But when the other countries took action, the evil church had already been alerted. The destruction of the Daxia stronghold made them extremely angry, but at the same time they were also highly alert and paid attention to the official movements near their own stronghold.

So when countries took action, the evil church was already ready.

One is a sneak attack, the other is entering an encirclement... the results are naturally completely different.

By the time the officials of various countries, who had suffered a great loss, sent reinforcements, those exposed strongholds had already been deserted.

What made everyone angry was that...the hostages captured by the evil church could not be transferred in a short time, and they were killed as a vent of anger...

For a time, the world's anger against the evil church was completely ignited.

…

…

Of course, Qin Jinnian didn’t know about this for the time being.

When various countries took action, they did not notify Daxia.

At this moment, Qin Jinnian was in the secret room of the Night Watch headquarters in Canglan City.

"The operation was very successful. This time, it was all thanks to you guys who broke the news."

The leader's gentle voice echoed with a smile.

Qin Jinnian, who had transformed into 'Zhang San', shook his head and smiled: "This is a well-arranged deal. No need to thank me. Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

He looked at the virtual screen.

The action was taken the night before yesterday. Yesterday he received a call from Qin Fang, saying that the leader wanted to talk to him, so he came here today.

Well, Qin Fang returned from the abyss two months ago.

On the virtual screen, the leader still had his back to him, surrounded by a mist, and looked as if he was in a chaotic world.

Qin Jinnian had felt it was strange before, but now after having been to the abyss once, Qin Jinnian felt that the background looked very familiar... It was very much like the situation of a teleportation channel.

However, he had been to the transmission channel, where there were always crowds of people, with countless people coming in and out, but there was no one around the leader, as if there was only one person guarding the end of the transmission channel... This made Qin Jinnian a little confused again.

So, where is the leader? Is that background real... or simulated?

He was a little curious, but didn't ask rashly.

The leader listened to Qin Jinnian's words, smiled, and said: "No matter what, this time Daxia achieved such a good result because of Poxiao, which is a great contribution to the country. The country will not treat any meritorious person unfairly. Do you Poxiao have any needs?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jinnian raised his eyebrows. What kind of reward was he planning to give? His first thought was to get the God-level advancement materials. But then, he suppressed the thought.

Judging from the situation in the abyss, it should not be difficult to obtain god-level materials.

Now Dawn is a mystery to the outside world, very mysterious.

This sense of mystery is something Qin Jinnian is very happy to maintain.

If you ask the leader for God-level advancement materials, you may be able to get them just by asking, but it will inevitably make the leader confused... Such a powerful Dawn, such a great achievement, only requires a few God-level advancement materials?

It is obvious that the merit and reward do not match.

But other requirements? Qin Jinnian thought about it and it seemed that there were really no more.

After yesterday, Dawn had gradually gotten on track and had established good relationships with the Night Watchmen and officials in various places. Apart from other things, when Dawn was going to open branches in the local area, these people would also help... and when Dawn established branches one by one, his greatest wish for Dawn would be basically achieved.

Most importantly, he likes the sense of achievement of this kind of pioneering... It feels like playing a development game, so there is no need to ask the leader for help. Otherwise, it would be like turning on the accelerator, what's the point? But after Qin Jinnian's thoughts turned, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said: "If you really want to talk about needs, there is indeed one..."

"Oh? Tell me about it. As long as I can do it." The leader said with a smile.

"We need some Origin Realm advancement materials."

"Source Realm Advanced Materials?"

This answer obviously surprised and astonished the leader.

Yes.

Source realm advanced materials.

At present, it is not difficult to obtain God-level materials, and things on Earth are already on track. Qin Jinnian is enjoying it and there is no need to speed up. After thinking about it... Source Realm materials are what he wants most now.

There are quite a few Abyss Origin Realms, but it seems not too many either. At least it is definitely far less than the God Level.

Then the source-level materials must be much rarer and more precious than the god-level materials.

Even the specific materials needed to advance to the Origin Realm... may be a secret. It is not easy to find out.

If you can get it, it's obviously a good thing.

Qin Jinnian's advancement was based on the panel. As long as the God-level materials were in place, with his current massive amount of attribute points and shadow points, he could reach the limit of the God-level in a very short time. The next step was to use the Source Realm materials and advance to the Source Realm...

More importantly, there is no need to worry about the leader being suspicious when asking for Source Realm materials... because Source Realm materials are definitely worth the credit.

Not only will it not destroy the mystery of Dawn, but it will strengthen it... They all need Source Realm materials, which means that someone inside Dawn is about to be promoted to Source Realm.

…Some people are about to be promoted to the Source Realm, so could it be that Dawn already has the Source Realm?

Such speculation will enhance the mystery of Dawn.

This is much better than asking for a divine material.

Hearing Qin Jinnian's request, the leader was obviously stunned. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Source Realm Materials?...Okay, I understand. Your contribution to Dawn this time is indeed worthy of a portion of Source Realm Materials. Okay, after the night of the blood moon this time, I will arrange for someone to deliver it...Send it to the capital headquarters, or to Canglan City?"

Hearing the leader's words, Qin Jinnian's eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Just give it directly to Li Yuqi."

"good."

The leader nodded: "Anything else you need?"

"Well, you say."

"The construction of the Dawn headquarters and the Canglan City branch is almost complete, so the Abyss channel we mentioned earlier also needs to be opened... Therefore, Dawn needs several registered aircraft that are qualified to enter Yuedu. This will make it easier to establish a branch in Yuedu. On the other hand, it will also be easier to transport Abyss materials."

"A flying vehicle to Yuedu? Well, that's not a problem. I will arrange it after the night of the blood moon. Just give it directly to Li Yuqi." The leader nodded and agreed very straightforwardly.

"Thank you, Leader."

"Anything else you need?"

"there is none left."

This time Qin Jinnian shook his head.

Purchasing an aircraft to the Moon City is a hassle. Not to mention that it needs to be qualified to enter the port?

Obviously it would be more convenient if the authorities stepped in.

Since the leader asked, Qin Jinnian just said it.

In this way, it would be much more convenient for Qin Jinnian to go to the abyss in the future. At least he wouldn't have to bother Qin Fang all the time.

At the same time, the Yuedu branch can also be established.

The last time I went there as the fifth Hatsune Miku, I had already obtained an identity as a permanent resident of the Moon in Yuedu, which was a good start.

Next time you go, it will be much more convenient.

After the leader chatted with Qin Jinnian for a while, he finally said, "The eradication of the evil church this time was very successful, and it has almost been resolved. The blood moon will be in three days, and this blood moon will probably be a little more troublesome. Although Gaia will deal with the matter of the 'seeds' and will not let them chant the name of the indescribable existence, and the evil church has been dealt with, it is likely that many god-level monsters will find it difficult to come again. But you still have to be careful. Especially you Dawn... This time the evil church hates you to the bone, and they have some weird means that can record the soul breath of some enemies and transmit it to the Abyss species. The Abyss species also have means to find people whose soul breath has been recorded... So, go and tell the people in your organization that if anyone has fought the evil church head-on, they must pay attention to safety and act carefully to prevent revenge from the Abyss species."

He paused and continued, "Especially you and Li Si... You two have come into direct contact with the God-level Abyss Species. Your soul aura must have been recorded. You must be careful on this blood moon night."

"The methods used by the Abyss are endless and extremely treacherous. No one can be sure whether they have other means to descend on Earth besides the sacrificial rituals of the evil church."

Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly he asked: "Leader, I have been to the abyss and have come into contact with the abyss species, and then I found that they would attack each other. In the abyss, they look similar to us humans, so it is likely that they were once creatures like the people on Earth. Their world is probably similar to the situation on Earth, but it was invaded by the abyss earlier... Since they can come to Earth, have any of us ever been to their world?"

Qin Jinnian's question made the leader stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he nodded gently: "To be honest, the people on Earth have been to their world."

Really been there? Qin Jinnian raised his eyebrows.

"Not only have they been there, humans have also taken action in their world...similar to what the evil church is doing on Earth today. But unfortunately, the results were not good."

The leader sighed, "Their world may have been invaded by the Abyss for thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer... After being infected by the Abyss for so many years, their race has changed a bit and is naturally powerful. Moreover, they have not concealed the truth about the Abyss invasion from ordinary people. Everyone knows that this is a racial struggle. The whole world is trying its best to deal with this situation."

"And over the years, the 'Gaia' of their world has become much more mature than the 'Gaia' of Earth. If humans enter it, they will be found and suppressed almost instantly. Even if consciousness descends, it is the same."

"It is difficult for humans to 'preach' in that world. Without 'believers', there will naturally be no 'sacrifices'. Even if there are occasional 'sacrifices', they are far from being enough to conceal the 'Gaia' of those worlds."

"Those 'Gaia' have already completed 'Ascension'. We even have the ability to communicate directly with them."

"So, over the years, the Earth has been in a relatively passive situation. They are destroying the Earth's rear and preventing Gaia from completing her Ascension."

“Ascension?”

Qin Jinnian was slightly stunned. This was obviously a completely new and unfamiliar word.

The leader nodded gently. "Ascending is also an evolution. Gaia's consciousness is a little bit of intelligence gathered from the consciousness of all living beings. This intelligence is only instinctive and simple in wisdom, and cannot communicate directly with people. But after ascension, this intelligence will not only increase in wisdom, but also be able to communicate directly with people... To give the simplest example, if 'Gaia ascends', then there will be no evil churches on Earth. Because Gaia will be able to detect the gathering and situation of the evil believers at the first time, and decide whether to destroy them."

Qin Jinnian was stunned. Isn’t this the current situation in those worlds?

"Then how does Gaia complete the ascension?"

"I don't know." The leader shook his head slightly.

"I don't know?" Qin Jinnian was a little surprised.

"Yes." The leader nodded: "Gaia's ascension is actually a conjecture based on the fact that humans will be dealt with immediately when they go to other worlds. Because apart from Gaia's consciousness, no one can be strong enough to detect someone entering other worlds immediately... If there is, it must be an indescribable existence. If there is such an existence in other worlds, then the earth would have been destroyed under the gaze of the other party long ago."

"So it can only be the Gaia consciousness of those worlds."

"But our Gaia doesn't have this ability. The only possibility is that our Gaia is weaker."

"But as you said, those other Abyssal Species in the Abyss look about the same as humans. So why is the Gaia of their world stronger?"

"So there is only one possibility... they were also weak once, but later became stronger."

"In addition, we can see now that when the power of the God-level enters the Earth, Gaia's consciousness will appear, and then it will suppress the God-level... All divine power will be devoured. The only one who devours this power can be Gaia."

"Where did the devoured divine power go? It can't just disappear out of thin air, right? So we come to a conclusion... Gaia can evolve. Food is likely the divine power... In addition to this, there are some assumptions and speculations, but there is not enough evidence to support them. Further demonstration and experiments are needed, so I won't go into details here."

Qin Jinnian was stunned when he heard this.

Gaia, evolution, ascension?

And soon, his mind suddenly moved.

"Could it be that... Gaia's ascension requires more than just divine power... it also requires... devouring other Gaias? Otherwise, why would those Abyss species target humans so much? And there are so many evil churches on Earth... Behind each evil church is a different population of Abyss species. If there is no benefit, why would they do this?"

And think about it more deeply...

Sacrifice...

It's just very strange.

If the Abyss race is really the same race as humans, and has grown stronger step by step, judging from the fact that humans can now stand firm in the Abyss, their actual combat power may not be much higher than that of humans... Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if they all rushed over and killed humans directly? The only reason not to do this is that they can't do it, not that they don't want to do it.

In this case… no human has ever heard of anyone having the ability to accept sacrifices.

Abyssal species, how can they do that? After all... who is the target of the sacrifice? Thinking about the "barrier" Qin Jinnian saw in Yuedu and the Abyss... doesn't it look like a sacrificial formation?

hiss.

Qin Jinnian's teeth felt a little cold.

Because, it’s terrifying when you think about it.

"Okay, let's talk about these things later. Let's stop here today."

Speaking of this matter, it was obvious that the leader was also worried. He sighed lightly and said so.

Qin Jinnian came back to his senses, let out a breath, and nodded.

After finishing the conversation with the leader, Qin Jinnian left the secret room and the Night Watch headquarters. He looked up at the lines in the sky, and his mind was filled with thoughts...

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The Blood Moon is Coming! (End of this Chapter)
