"It's coming back a little slower than expected."

The Fateful Monk glanced at Lin Qiye and spoke slowly.

Lin Qiye's eyes swept across the temple. The fallen leaves in front of the door were piled up and rotted, and it must have been a long time since they were swept. Wooden chairs and tables were placed in a messy manner throughout the courtyard, and even the offerings on the altar in the temple were scattered on the ground.

Lin Qiye frowned slightly.

He remembered that the last time he came here, Monk Sufei had cleaned the temple spotlessly. How come it has become like this now?

"What happened?" Lin Qiye paused for a moment, "Is it because I didn't let you go down the mountain that you got upset?"

“I don’t have that boring stuff.”

"That's right...what about these?"

"My attention has been elsewhere recently. It's true that this place hasn't been cleaned for a long time..." Monk Fate looked a little tired. "Sit down first and let's talk business."

Seeing this, Lin Qiye did not ask any more questions and sat down opposite the monk Su Ming.

"I brought my mother back, as well as the goddess of war Athena and the goddess of hunting Artemis. In addition, Shangxie will transfer the entire [Utopia] to Daxia. Jin Ji also broke through the divine realm and is now also in Daxia."

The Fateful Monk nodded slightly, picked up a few scattered chess pieces on the ground and placed them on the chessboard.

"Great, this way we'll have more chess pieces to use... What are the specific details?"

Lin Qiye recounted everything that had happened on the road in detail. Monk Sufei squinted his eyes and listened very carefully.

By the time Lin Qiye finished speaking, the sky had darkened. Monk Su Ming stood up and lit a few candles in the temple. The dim light illuminated the chessboard in front of the door, and shadows swayed among the fallen leaves in the yard.

"The Second Covenant..." Monk Fate pondered for a moment, "It is indeed time."

Lin Qiye hummed, "After this time, the trash in the fog has been basically cleared out. Even if the Second Covenant is activated, it will not cause too much panic... The secrets that the Night's Watch has hidden for hundreds of years should also surface little by little."

“When are you going to start it?”

"Just these two days, but I still need to make some preparations." Lin Qiye glanced in a certain direction, "The situation at the main body is still quite tricky."

"Do you have a plan?"

"I guess so. Although it's a bit risky."

"Then do it."

Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "You won't dissuade me this time? Don't you always refuse to take risks?"

The fateful monk was silent for a moment.

"We have come this far. Any possibility that can increase our chances of winning cannot be missed... Perhaps we need to take a risk."

"Chances of winning..." Lin Qiye seemed to remember something, "Although I have asked this once...but I still want to know, what are the chances of winning for humans now?"

Lin Qiye asked this question after the Moon War, but Monk Fate did not give an answer. Now Daxia’s comprehensive combat power has been brought to an unprecedented peak by Lin Qiye, and he wants to know what the chances of winning are now.

The fatalistic monk lowered his eyes, as if staring at a messy chessboard, and did not answer.

“…If you don’t want to talk about it, forget it.” Lin Qiye stood up slowly, “Do your best and leave the rest to fate…No matter what the odds are, I will do my best.”

Lin Qiye walked to the path down the mountain and looked back at the messy courtyard.

"I'll send someone to help you clean it up tomorrow."

The fateful monk sat quietly there, waiting until Lin Qiye's figure completely disappeared, the candles in the temple quietly went out, and the entire courtyard fell into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, the monk's sigh rang out:

"Where is the way out..."

…

Due to the arrival of Utopia, the Night Watch headquarters has become extremely busy. Fortunately, Lin Qiye does not need to handle these matters personally. The Logistics Department and the Human Resources Department will arrange everything.

Lin Qiye returned to the office and sat down. A moment later, his secretary Min Junliang knocked on the door.

"Commander, Shenlongguan found a girl at the border and said she was looking for you."

"Girl? Did you say who it was?"

"She said her name was Lina Perrin."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Qiye's eyes, but he still nodded: "Bring her over."

Logically speaking, after Lina returned to [Hidden God], she should have a lot of things to deal with. Even if she was ultimately unable to regain control of [Hidden God], negotiations would take time... I had just arrived in Daxia when she also arrived. I guess something unexpected happened along the way.

And the fact is just as Lin Qiye expected. When Lina came to the office, the first thing she said was:

"The Hidden God was destroyed."

Lin Qiye guessed this possibility, "Was it the K-series who did it?"

"Judging from the traces left at the scene, yes."

Lin Qiye rubbed his chin with one hand and frowned in thought.

In today's fog, only Daxia and the gods of Ke are capable of killing the [Hidden God]. Since he didn't order people to do it, it must be An Qingyu's plan... It seems that he is not the only one who wants to clear the field early.

He destroyed Olympus and [Heaven of Divine Desire], and An Qingyu destroyed [Hidden God]. Now the fog is completely clear.

"So what are your plans now?" Lin Qiye asked directly without beating around the bush.

Lina took a deep breath and said slowly, "The mist is no longer safe now. Apart from Daxia, there is no other place that can accommodate me, so I can only come to you... I know that as an outsider, I can't gain all your trust. If you are really worried, I can leave."

Looking at Lina, who looked serious, Lin Qiye thought for a moment.

"You can stay... But let me make it clear in advance that Daxia will not protect you unconditionally. When necessary, we will need your strength."

"No problem." Lina agreed decisively.

Lin Qiye made a phone call, and a moment later Min Junliang came to the office and took Lina away to arrange food and accommodation.

No matter what, Lina is also a strong person at the ceiling level of mankind. If she uses the Sword in the Stone to summon the shadow of King Arthur, she can even be on par with the Supreme for a short time. There is also a demon wolf Fenrir who can tear the main god to pieces. Their joining is icing on the cake for Daxia.

Lin Qiye stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark sky outside with a serious expression.

An Qingyu's initiative to clear the field was undoubtedly a dangerous signal. If Lin Qiye guessed correctly, the day of the final battle with the God of Ke was not far away... Before that, there was one more thing that had to be done.

Lin Qiye dialed the phone again:

"Please prepare a plane for me. In half an hour... I'm going to Qilian Mountain."
