After chatting casually with Fran for a while, it was time for dinner. Gul and Wei Tian cooked a few small dishes, and then everyone sat down, the conversation once again turning to Lin Haifeng.
"The hard drive motherboard was brought out during the evacuation. Right now, Commander Lin is in the central core area of the city. After dinner, let's go see him; he wants to meet you."
Lin Haifeng had abandoned his body, and the "hard drive motherboard" Wei Tian mentioned was essentially Lin Haifeng's true self now.
As Wei Tian spoke, Wen Yu nodded—those who could follow Fran out were undoubtedly loyal to both Fran and Lin Haifeng. At this point, there was no need to hide the past secrets.
However, just as Wen Yu picked up a piece of food, his expression suddenly changed. A murderous intent rippled around him, quick to rise and quick to dissipate. Fran and the others were puzzled, while Wen Yu fell silent for a moment before finally letting out a bitter smile.
"The soul puppet has been confiscated..."
Hearing this news, Fran did not seem surprised at all; instead, he mentioned another person.
"The celestial god."
"Indeed, it is him..."
"I just wonder, when did he manage to come out?"
To Wen Yu's question, Fran merely shook his head. "After we arrived here, all my surveillance was cleared. I only know that Bai has his sights on the Earth's core origin, but the specific steps—I'm really not sure."
In fact, it was already quite a feat for Fran and Lin Haifeng to deduce that the hidden agenda was Bai and that Fang Yujie was the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor. They truly lacked the strength to uncover more.
After all, the clues available were just too few...
Wen Yu did not ask further; he silently connected to the perspective of the mountain puppet.
...
In Layered Battlefield Zone Six, the soul puppet's stronghold.
Since the last meeting, this place had been designated as the new strategic command center—the Earth forces led by Beijing had decided to engage in a deadly fight against the Demon Palace here.
However, how can one say this? The world had changed so much that even Wen Yu did not recognize it; how could the others see the upper-level games clearly?
Right after the meeting concluded and before the strategic preparations were completed, the Demon Palace withdrew its troops...
Once the Demon Palace withdrew, the other forces were thrown into chaos. They tried to find Fang Yujie to discuss what they should do about the current situation, and then the world's blockade on Earth vanished...
Oh, and Fang Yujie had vanished too.
Good grief, their leader ran away, and after some deliberation, the rest decided not to stir up any trouble and simply returned to their homes to observe.
Thus, the tactics that had been discussed naturally came to nothing.
Zone Six was still the same Zone Six...
Until a few hours after Wen Yu left, the situation finally changed.
The beleaguered mountain puppet did not wait for its master to return but instead encountered a colossal trouble!
...
Time rewound half an hour.
In Zone Six, in front of the portal of the soul puppet's stronghold.
Accompanied by a flash of light, the figure of "Fang Yujie" suddenly appeared before the portal.
The news spread like wildfire through the cloud puppet clan members, reaching the mountain puppet's ears within seconds. Upon seeing "Fang Yujie," the mountain puppet was initially taken aback, and then its expression changed drastically.
All that had happened in the sovereign palace had long been reported to the mountain puppet by Wen Yu. However, the mountain puppet had no means to enter the Sovereign Palace Cluster; no matter how eager it was to protect its master, it could do nothing—of course, that wasn't the key point.
The key point was that Fang Yujie had clearly been in cahoots with the sovereign, so how could he possibly appear here?
Until "Fang Yujie" waved his hand lightly, shadows encircling him. In the next second, thirteen figures of various heights crawled out from the shadows, standing beside "Fang Yujie."
