# Chapter 1829: Undercurrents

So Jiangnan, together with the monster group, began a thorough demolition operation.

After all, they still had to consider the future. The core in the Void Sea was very important, containing a massive amount of spatial energy—there was no way they were leaving it behind!

In the Void Sea, countless floating islands collapsed one after another under the dismantling efforts of Jiangnan and the others!

Since the core wasn't complete, Jiangnan couldn't open the door and operate it, and the Void Sea had been sealed by Igor!

So to return to Blue Star, they had to go back through the Dimensional Gap the same way they came!

But the Molten Silver was only three hundred meters in size—how to stuff all the spiritual beasts from the Void Sea inside and take them away was a problem!

After all, there were no survival conditions in the Dimensional Gap. Spatial-type spiritual beasts weren't the same as dimension creatures; they couldn't survive in the Dimensional Gap!

But how could this stump the clever Jiangnan?

So he came up with a plan...

In the sky, the Molten Silver's cargo hatch opened as it flew slowly!

The Ninja Mantis, Big White Goose, and several others each carried several burlap sacks on their backs!

They passed them one by one to Jiangnan!

Jiangnan stood at the hatch, a smile on his face, taking each bulging burlap sack and stuffing it into the Molten Silver!

(⌒◡⌒۶)۶ Sack~

Inside were a large number of spatial-type spiritual beasts; even the Void Koi fish swarms had been completely caught!

Reflection Fox swallowed and said:

(๑•́ﻌ•̀) "Um... is this really about transferring us out, or are you stuffing us into sacks to sell outside?"

"I don't think you look like a good person~"

Who transfers people by stuffing them into sacks?

No matter how you looked at it, this was kidnapping! And they were all volunteering to be stuffed into the sacks!

Qian Benying pouted:

(¬~¬) "He's not a good person to begin with!"

Jiangnan raised his hand and sent Qian Benying a big red envelope, grinning:

(︶.̮︶*) "Nonsense, how could I do something so heinous?"

"It's just that there's no space. Just endure it in the sacks for now; it'll be fine once we're out!"

Dull sacks could also be used without calling out names; they had a huge storage space inside, perfect for loading spiritual beasts!

Although the time limit was only 24 hours, and who knew how long the return trip would take!

But when the time was up, just put another sack over the sack, right?

Sack on top of sack, bag inside bag—no problem at all?

After much effort, they finally stuffed all the spiritual beasts in the Void Sea into sacks and loaded them into the Molten Silver!

They didn't even spare the Wo Nih Silkworms in the mud pits!

All the core fragments from the floating islands were removed and placed into the Alternate Dimension!

At this point, the Void Sea had completely become a bare shell, with countless rubble continuously falling, a scene of collapse!

At the cargo hatch of the Molten Silver, the group of bad beasts took one last nostalgic look at the crumbling Void Sea—the place where their ancestors had lived for generations!

Reflection Fox sighed emotionally:

(๑ᵒ̴̶̷ﻌᵒ̴̶̷) "Maybe we'll never return here in our lifetime."

Big White Goose tilted its head:

₍๑՞ʚ՞๑₎ "Pfft! Never coming back!"

Ninja Mantis symbolically swung its blades twice, as if making a final farewell!

But inside, it could hardly wait to go out and chop some cars!

Jiangnan grinned, the hatch closed, and a Void Black Hole was released to tear space. In an instant, the Molten Silver darted into the Dimensional Gap!

It had built-in route memory, allowing it to return along the same path to where they entered!

It shouldn't take long to get back to Blue Star!

In the training room, Jiangnan, the others, and the group of bad beasts were sitting around several clam shells!

Qian Benying lay on the ground, swinging her little feet, drooling, stars in her eyes, giggling foolishly.

˚₊*_(ˊO̶̶̷̤﹃O̴̶̷̤ˋ」∠)_*₊˚

Lan was curled up in Jiangnan's arms, her little face flushed red, almost dying of embarrassment. What had she said to Brother Jiangnan before?!

Only after the side effects of the Tangerine passed did Lan take out the spiritual beads—thousands of them!

Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "You've all been suppressing your ranks at Starlight Peak. Since we've chosen to rebel and go out to fight the Holy Star, there's no need to keep suppressing your levels anymore!"

"These spiritual beads are enough to push you to Dao Heaven. Da Gong Ying and Lan don't slack off either; raise your levels as much as possible!"

"Also, see if any of these beads have spiritual skills suitable for you. In the future, spatial-type users will be the main force against the Holy Star's Bose Bodies."

Qian Benying swallowed nervously, hardly daring to believe it:

(๑ᵒ̴̶̷﹃ᵒ̴̶̷) "Ca-can I really use them?"

Jiangnan rolled his eyes:

(′◔~◔`) "How long are you planning to stay at Starlight? When I first met you, you were Diamond, and now you're still Starlight?"

"I'm already Starlight Six, you know?"

Qian Benying: (◦`~´◦)

"I feel attacked, okay? Not everyone is as freakishly abnormal as you!"

On the return trip, Jiangnan and the others, along with the bad beasts, all entered a frenzied training mode. With Wang Gang around, there was no way to avoid getting swept up in the competition.

These spatial-type spiritual beads were enough to level up Jiangnan and the others.

Although spatial-type spiritual beads were precious, Jiangnan wasn't stingy about things like this—use them when needed!

Since reaching Starlight, Jiangnan, who usually didn't know the meaning of "training," had started training like crazy!

After the global spirit disaster event began, up until today, just over a month had passed, and Jiangnan had already charged to Starlight Six!

This terrifying leveling speed was simply monstrous!

Jiangnan was anxious. His level wasn't high enough, his strength wasn't enough—far from sufficient to handle the current situation!

But the battle, the overall trend, the times—they never waited for anyone!

Maybe just like Jiangnan said, if it could have been delayed by half a year—give him half a year—he would have reached Dao Heaven.

By then, the situation might have been completely different!

But fate doesn't follow people's wishes; things rarely go as planned nine times out of ten.

Jiangnan could only redouble his efforts, not missing any opportunity to improve himself!

Climb up as fast as possible. No matter the outcome, at least he wouldn't regret it!

Fact proved that Jiangnan's efforts were not without effect!

The Molten Silver sailed at top speed, heading straight for Blue Star!

...

And while Jiangnan was down in the Void Sea, countries around the world were also taking active action!

Cities along the ancient Great Wall of Hua Xia had been reclaimed!

Nine city fortresses were established, connected by the Steel Dragon City, including the former Luo City, now renamed Dao Yi City!

During this period, Xing Cheng, the Sentinel Mechanical Legion, and the Pupil Race mercenaries all made great contributions!

The evacuation of the E Guo people was also completed with the help of Dao Heaven-level experts from various countries!

Hua Xia and E Guo also used their respective Star Rings and Star Gates to transfer personnel from other countries trapped in the God-Slaying Spell Arrays!

The cooperation between the Four Transcendents and the international community had been going on for several days and was extremely smooth!

Quinn had collected detailed information on spiritual beasts from various countries, which played a huge role!

The Four Transcendents jointly launched a cleanup of ceiling-level spiritual beasts worldwide, reaping great gains these past few days!

This could be seen from Xiao Jiuwo's full set of spiritual skills, and Wu Liang and Xiong Er's Starlight skills all being completed—the harvest was terrifyingly bountiful.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner!

That day, inside the command center, a routine pre-war meeting was still being held!

Heads of various countries who couldn't be present in person participated via holographic projection!

Quinn immediately sent a list, his face filled with indescribable excitement!

"The beast group decapitation operation has had significant results, with substantial gains. Ceiling-level spiritual beasts have been eliminated, and the beast groups below them have fragmented and scattered!"

"The pressure on various countries in dealing with beast tides has greatly decreased. It seems the operational strategy is undoubtedly correct!"

Martin laughed heartily: (๑>ᗜ<) "No need to say, the Transcendents are truly fierce. Killing top-level spiritual beasts is effortless!"

Bigg, who had previously been bedridden, was now jumping around lively after being treated by the Life Goddess Freya!

"Nonsense! They're Transcendents! Good thing we have Transcendents, otherwise there'd be no way to fight this war!"

"So when are you coming to clear things up in our area? The curse ghosts here are pretty troublesome!"

Heads of various countries unanimously praised the beast group decapitation operation, inviting Xiao Chuihuo and the others to visit their territories!

Quinn smiled: "No rush, one at a time. Here's today's list. Old Fire God, take a look?"

"The Sun Force of the International Spirit Martial Alliance is monitoring the movements of the beast groups around the clock!"

"The spiritual beasts aren't stupid either. We need to maximize operational efficiency!"

Xiao Chuihuo and Odin looked at the list and grinned!

(*͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Alright then! No time to waste, let's finish today's quota early and call it a day!"

With that, Xiao Chuihuo, Mi Ye, and the other two Transcendents stood up, clearly ready to go kill based on the list one by one!

To maintain the ability to respond to Karl at any time, Xiao Chuihuo and the others had been acting together during this period!

Xiao Chuihuo turned back:

(๑・ˇࡇˇ・) "Jiang Ning, girl? Coming along?"

Quinn's holographic projection also fell on Jiang Ning and Jiang Jing!

During daily operations, Jiang Ning always brought Jiang Jing along with Xiao Chuihuo and the others!

Only this way could Jiang Jing's absolute safety be ensured!

Jiang Ning scratched her head, looking a bit troubled:

୧(๑ŏ﹏ŏ) "The Bei family asked me for help. They've been working on derivative spell arrays of the God-Slaying Spell Array recently!"

"Seeing if it can be integrated with the Great Wall's Sky-Transcending Barrier, hoping to use it as a defense for the city fortresses. They're stuck on some incantations and need my help!"

"It's quite urgent. I'm afraid I can't join you guys today."

Quinn's gaze also fell on Jiang Ning and Jiang Jing, propping his chin.

(͡°ก͡°) "Modifying the God-Slaying Spell Array? That matter is equally important. If it's successfully developed, the city fortresses can rely on the spell array to withstand beast tides!"

"Then we won't need to station large numbers of troops in the cities, freeing up more personnel!"

Xiao Chuihuo pondered for a moment: "Hmm, then stay behind today. The three of us should be enough to handle things quickly!"

"Bai Kou, girl, you stay as a backup. We three are barely sufficient. If anything comes up, contact us anytime!"

Bai Kou was startled, then happily nodded sweetly!

(*๓´╰╯`๓) "Got it!"

Quinn smiled: "Then I'll start preparations. See you all shortly!"

With that, his holographic figure vanished from the meeting room.
