Chapter 332 The War of Gods is About to Begin
Shangjing City, Night Watchmen's Cemetery.
Lin Qiye, who looked much older than before, was intently carving a stone tablet.
After a long time, he finally erected the tombstone engraved with Wu Xiangnan's resume.
Of course, there would be no ashes of Wu Xiangnan beneath that smooth, polished marble tomb; it was merely a cenotaph.
It is an unwritten rule among the Night's Watch that the tombstones of the deceased are carved by hand by their own teammates.
The entire Blue Rain squad was wiped out, and the remaining members of squad 136 were far away in Cangnan. Li Jie had also been missing for a year, so...
This task can only fall to Lin Qiye.
In the desolate cemetery, Lin Qiye gently placed the flowers he had placed beside the tombstone and just stood there quietly watching.
After a moment, he sighed and said softly.
"Brother, Deputy Captain Wu is gone."
"I know."
"I couldn't save him."
"Is it possible that this is the best ending for him?"
"...Perhaps."
Before anyone knew it, Li Jie, wearing a dark red cloak, had arrived behind him with Xian'er, dressed in white.
"Brother, the Heavenly Court has descended to earth."
"Ah."
"What will happen next?"
"The world is in chaos, and a war of gods is about to begin."
"A war of gods? Too bad... I'm too weak."
In fact, Lin Qiye knew very well that since the Heavenly Court had already revealed its true fangs, it would definitely not let go of the Divine Realm, which had targeted the Great Xia for so many years.
He just felt that his strength was still too weak and he couldn't be of any help at all.
"You going?"
He still didn't turn around, but squatted down and gently wiped Wu Xiangnan's shiny tombstone, as if asking Li Jie, or perhaps asking himself.
"I will not leave Great Xia until there are results."
As if quite surprised by Li Jie's answer, Lin Qiye and Xian'er both turned to look at the calm-faced white-haired boy.
Logically speaking, now that Li Jie has returned, whether it's because of his feat of slaying several gods or his position as the head of the Night Watch's Special Operations Division, he should definitely be included in the front-line combat sequence.
However, he himself seemed not to be very interested in the matter and quickly brushed the topic aside.
"Do you think I should go to the front lines and fight bravely against the enemy?"
"Is not it?"
Hearing this, Li Jie chuckled and shook his head.
"Who says the territory of Great Xia isn't a battlefield?"
"Now that all the foreign kingdoms know about my disappearance, let them continue to believe that I am missing."
"If they really want to take advantage of the situation, then they should be prepared to stay forever."
Wow!
A biting wind swept by, ruffling the white hair on Li Jie's forehead and revealing his eyes, which were filled with murderous intent.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye understood Li Jie's plan.
He planned to continue hiding himself, positioning himself as the last line of defense for the Great Xia. Regardless of the outcome of the divine war, as long as he was alive, he would protect the Great Xia and prevent those external gods from crossing the line.
"Unfortunately... I can't help you."
With this thought in mind, Lin Qiye lowered his eyes sadly.
Yes, although Nightfall is the fifth special squad of Great Xia, their strength is simply not enough to intervene in the war between gods. Even Lin Qiye, who owns the Gods' Mental Hospital, is no exception. Even if he temporarily reached the level of Klein through soul carrying, he is still far inferior to those enemies at the level of the main gods.
"You can help."
"How can I help?"
"Others will tell you these things, Qiye. Don't underestimate yourself. You are very talented, but unfortunately, we still have too little time left."
After saying that, Li Jie sighed softly, as if he had lost interest in talking.
"Boss, how long are you going to eavesdrop?"
"You've misunderstood me. I just arrived myself."
As Wu, a blue flame gradually condensed around Li Jie and the other two. Zuo Qing reached out and patted Li Jie on the shoulder, nodding affirmatively.
"Good lad, it's been a year, and your aura has become even more terrifying."
"Now, even I can't see through your true strength."
Upon hearing Zuo Qing's voice, Lin Qiye also realized what was happening and began to carefully observe his brother who had been missing for a year.
He had tried to find Li Jie's whereabouts in the South China Sea, but without exception, he was blocked by the violent spatial laws on the outskirts of the islands, in addition to the frequent occurrence of violent incidents.
So much so that he eventually gave up the idea of finding Li Jie.
However, judging from what Commander Zuo said... is Brother Li even stronger than before?
"Boss, since you're here, let's ask all the questions at once."
"Are the Celestials planning to cause trouble in Asgard and Sun City?"
"Yes, we were originally going to add Olympus, but news came from Nyx, the goddess of night, that Hera, the queen of the gods and ruler of Olympus, has no intention of fighting at this stage, and is even willing to make amends for her previous mistakes. Therefore, the Celestial Venerable has also eliminated this potential opponent."
"Where are Senior Zhou and Commander Ye?"
"Both of them attained immortality through mortal bodies, so they were naturally included in the Heavenly Court's battle lineup. It is estimated that they will soon be heading to the outer battlefield."
Sure enough.
Upon hearing Zuo Qing's affirmative reply, Li Jie understood that during his time in the South China Sea, the Golden Cicada Grandmaster had successfully helped Ye Fan attain immortality through the Heaven and Earth Essence he left behind.
If I'm not mistaken, Zuo Qing is now the sixth Supreme Commander of the Great Xia Night Watch.
"I understand, Commander Zuo."
"I have one, no, two requests."
"any request?"
Hearing Li Jie's words, Zuo Qing nodded with a smile. He knew what this kid had done. As a hero who saved the Great Xia from disaster, no request was too much to ask.
"First, don't tell anyone about my comeback."
"That's easy to say, since only Lin Qiye and I know about it right now."
"Second, send the logistics department to the South China Sea islands to handle the aftermath."
"Aftermath?"
"Hmm... Although I have destroyed those sources of evil, they had already slaughtered all living beings on the island before I arrived."
"I...I understand...You guys talk first, I'll go arrange for the logistics department to handle the aftermath."
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and looked at Lin Qiye as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Once you're back, go to the training camp. Because of the serious incident, the [Spirit Medium] who was in charge of the training was sent to the Northern Territory to carry out a mission. There are about ten days left before the start of the God War. Within these ten days, you must ensure that all the new recruits graduate and are dispersed to the camps in various cities."
"Or... we'll run out of time. I know it's difficult, but I believe you can handle it."
After saying this, Zuo Qing nodded to the three of them, then transformed into a wisp of blue flame and soared into the sky, flying towards the Night Watch headquarters.
