Once, I wanted to be a good person

'But no matter how strong they are, visiting Lin State with such a powerful team—aren't they making a mountain out of a molehill?'

'And moreover... if that's the pomp my mother's side of the family travels with, how did my mother and brother go missing back then? Seven or eight at the Yang Transformation stage, even some at the Mortality-Shedding stage—who could take down such a team in just a few minutes?'

With these doubts, Bai Zhi returned to the Bai Family.

However, as soon as she returned, she sensed something amiss: the mansion's gate was firmly closed, and the guards outside were nowhere in sight.

Curious, she approached the gate and called out, but there was no response from inside.

A question mark hung over her head as she took out her phone to call home, only to find... no one answered.

Bai Zhi began to feel that something was very off.

Rummaging through her space folding bag, she pulled out a card, tossing it toward the gate.

The card adhered to the gate, which began to whirl and retract until it was consumed entirely.

Bai Zhi stepped forward, picked up the card, and continued inside. The interior of the mansion looked unchanged, frozen in the moment she left, yet... everyone had vanished.

Furrowing her brow, Bai Zhi returned the gate to its original state and hurried toward the main hall.

Upon reaching the hall, Bai Zhi found a letter on the table, weighed down by an emerald green jade bracelet.

She approached, set the bracelet aside, picked up the letter, and began reading rapidly.

Moments later, Bai Zhi lifted her head from the letter, her face full of disbelief.

"How... how can this be?"

As Bai Zhi was still in shock, suddenly, a violent explosion echoed from the east side of the Xida State Provincial Government!

With a loud "Boom!" the entire estate seemed to shake and tremble!

Following the thunderous sound, a terrifying wave of the Power of Laws pulsed out from the eastern region of the provincial government, forming a dreadful tidal wave!

Simultaneously, over the entire Polaris Federation's territory of 146 million square kilometers, day or night, the sky abruptly darkened everywhere!

Then, a bright meteor streaked across the sky from the east, crossing all of Hunan, descending to the west!

Gentle rain silently drifted down across the world, as if narrating the earth's sorrow...

At that moment, countless Awakeners above Mortality-Shedding level instinctively looked up, peering toward Xida State with faces full of shock.....

"The demigod has fallen?"

"Has a demigod of the Human Race fallen?"

"Is it in Xida State? Which demigod?"

"What's happening?"

The demigods of the Eastern Administrative Region were the most astonished.

In that instant, many skies across the states suddenly bore a pair or several pairs of colossal eyes, emotionless and universal, all fixing in the same direction....

Simultaneously, from darkened basements and secret locations in various states, piercing laughter erupted,

"Hahaha! Looks like Garo's plan succeeded!"

"Heh heh heh! Thrilling! Absolutely thrilling!"

"Haha, we can't be left behind either, it's time to show this region who really rules this world!"

"Let's make this storm even more intense!"

Amidst the jarring laughter and brazen statements, various accidents occurred at the Eastern Administrative Region's provincial governments, checkpoints, and fortresses: car crashes, explosions, fires!

In that moment, the councils and nobility, just reeling from shock at the demigod's fall in Xida State, were caught off guard, forced into a reactive stance.

Fortunately, prior warnings for similar events had been issued across the states, so they quickly mounted a counterattack. Councils, Governing Halls, Special Service Departments, and nobility gathered forces to suppress the chaos, even summoning military bases typically on patrol to aid in maintaining order!

As the Eastern Administrative Region descended into chaos, within the Spirit Realm, inside and outside the Spatial Barrier Wall.

The five present Mortality-Shedding level individuals, feeling something, looked toward the provincial government, with varied expressions.

Hei Po and another Mortality-Shedding individual from the provincial government's forces wore expressions of shock and disbelief, clearly unaware of what had transpired.

Bai Zhi's father and a middle-aged man beside him seemed to have some prior mental preparation, exchanging glances and sighing softly.

Only inside the Spatial Barrier Wall, the hidden Mortality-Shedding individual couldn't hide his joy.

The death of a Human Race demigod clearly bore the mark of Dahei Jialuo, signifying the official start of their plan!

At this point, he could no longer resist the urge!

He had been cautiously observing Fang Ze's potential ace in the hole, hidden and quietly watching. But after so long, he had gauged Fang Ze's strength and capabilities: a solid Yang Transformation level, not quite at the peak, posing little danger to Mortality-Shedding levels.

While appraising Fang Ze, he hadn't been idle, continuously honing his Dharma Aspect, fine-tuning it to peak condition. In such a state, Yang Transformation levels couldn't even fight back, unless they were at the peak, otherwise, they'd be defeated in one move!

Confident that Fang Ze had no means of resisting his attacks, at this moment, he no longer hesitated and unleashed his Dharma Aspect at Fang Ze!

Just as the Mortality-Shedding individual prepared to make his move, the Black Mist before Fang Ze abruptly began a violent transformation, going from mist to something so dense it resembled the oil of Fang Ze's past life!

In that flash of realization, even without seeing his adversary's actions, Fang Ze deduced the impending attack!

Preparing to reveal his trump card for survival, ready before he could even act, suddenly, he heard a "ding!" in his ear!

Stunned for a moment, Fang Ze then felt elated: better to be timely than early!

Xin Yi had indeed pinpointed Dahei Jialuo's location! It seemed that his crucial trump card was finally ready to be played!
