Li Shutong, has fallen!

First War God of Great Xia, dissipating into heaven and earth!

Li Lingzhen covered her mouth to keep herself from crying out loud, while Xia Youwei held her, gently patting her back.

Han Zhan closed his eyes tightly, as the Void Origin forcibly injected into him by Li Shutong, the complete origin rampaged within him, threatening to break free and return to heaven and earth.

He didn't have time to mourn Li Shutong's death; he had to focus entirely on suppressing the Void Origin!

He was already the Chess Player.

Surviving Spirit Contract Masters around them witnessed the scene of Li Shutong perishing with the Insect Race, and their faces displayed various reactions.

Someone started to sob softly; it was a young man who had lost half of his leg to the Insect Race.

Losing his leg hadn't caused him to shed tears, but now he cried like a person made of tears.

Someone was kneeling on the ground, pounding the earth with their fists; he was an elder City Guardian.

He had once been a Combat Spirit Contract Master and fought alongside Li Shutong on the same battlefield, eventually retiring to become a City Guardian in Deep Blue City due to his age.

Someone stared blankly at the place where Li Shutong vanished, hoping he had never left.

In such a dark and oppressive atmosphere, discordant laughter suddenly arose.

The sound started softly and gradually grew louder, drawing everyone's gaze towards its source.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt and khaki shorts, with beach sandals, embodying a strong West Coast vibe.

At this moment, he walked from afar, unable to suppress the laughter curling at the corners of his mouth.

Someone looked at him angrily and swung a fist to hit him but exploded into a mist of blood before the fist landed.

This scene shocked everyone.

"Tsk, seeing me, you ignorant populace should bow down?"

"From now on, Great Xia will become history. This is already the territory of my Empire!"

The head of the Imperial Knight Order, Louis XVII.

His power and influence within the Empire matched Li Shutong's image in the hearts of the Great Xia People.

His appearance represented those hidden players behind this whole matter, officially entering the scene to seize the fruits of victory!

Louis XVII took two steps forward.

The sky above erupted with a violent roar.

A massive War Fortress akin to a small mountain appeared on the coast.

"Louis XVII, your Empire's rewards aren't here; don't disrupt the rules."

"Oh? We Imperial Knights enjoy freedom; no one can bind us with rules. Everything I see is imperial."

In his lazy tone, there was an undeniable strength and confidence.

Just as Louis XVII finished speaking, another figure appeared to his left.

It was an ordinary little boy.

With a crew cut, casual sportswear, hands in pockets, and expressionless, he looked towards the others.

No one knew when he had appeared.

Yet on his neck, the inscription "00" was visible.

Longevity Company, Prototype Experiment!

No one knew how many drugs the Longevity Company had injected into the prototype experiment; he possessed an SSS Level special talent but was made into a Biochemical Warrior!

Though still in the form of an eight or nine-year-old boy, no one present dared to ignore him.

Even Louis XVII couldn't.

"Alright, as Imperial Knights, we also have the freedom not to make enemies." He spread his hands and paused in his steps.

"According to our pre-arranged agreement, Great Xia's territory will be equally divided between the Empire and Can Shang Company. Longevity Company will take away the Shennong Cauldron, and the Old Covenant will take Han Zhan and other Contracted Spirits."

An electronic synthetic voice echoed from the Doomsday Fortress.

"But now, plans have changed."

"Based on messages from various war zones, Li Shutong left something behind. Although Great Xia is severely weakened, survivors have all moved north to occupy the natural barrier."

"Only two-thirds of Great Xia's territory remains from which it can actually be divided."

"From the Old Covenant's Twelve Apostles, eight died in the action, with one severely injured and escaping, leaving them weakened. The Pope didn't choose to appear at this moment, presumably fearing a joint attack from us."

"Thus, the Pope's original spoils shall be split between Can Shang Company and the Empire."

"Clap clap clap."

Louis XVII was the first to start clapping.

"A very reasonable distribution, Chamber of Commerce President, your distribution is quite free."

The silent 00-number Biochemical Warrior sized up both sides, mentally gauging the chance of fighting them both at once before choosing to remain silent.

It didn't matter since he was only here for the Shennong Cauldron.

"Captain Louis XVII, you may take the Fu Xi Zither and Xuanyuan Sword. As for the Spirit Contract Master herself, we at Can Shang Company want her."

The electronic voice spoke again.

Louis XVII's eyes slightly narrowed, but he maintained his smile.

"The Chamber of Commerce President is truly greedy; could it be for your precious daughter? I've heard she awakened into E…"

Rumble rumble.

In front, the Doomsday Fortress suddenly opened many dense, dark holes aimed ahead.

Louis XVII ceased speaking.

They conversed as if they were discussing a mundane matter.

Clearly, Li Shutong had just died; clearly, countless Great Xia people had perished; clearly, everyone was human!

How dare they!

Gongyang Jin stood in front of Li Lingzhen and Xia Youwei.

As fellow Contracted Spirits, although they technically were meeting for the first time, now with Han Zhan unconscious, surrounded by strong enemies, she had to step forward.

"Just you alone, are you sure you can protect them?"

Louis XVII finally took another step forward, speaking with relaxed tone and flippant eyes.

"Quite the beauty, why choose him? Come with me, I'm your true match; you should belong to the strong!"

The little boy and the Doomsday Fortress also stepped forward, encircling Han Zhan's group of four.

They looked at them as if viewing spoils of war.

Li Shutong was dead, the first War God of Great Xia was gone, who could protect them now?

No one expected the crisis to come so quickly.

Just as things were on edge,

A hoarse voice resonated, accompanied by a black hole abruptly bursting open to engulf the three women!

"So it's you that drove Teacher to his death."

In the endless darkness, Han Zhan's cold voice emerged.

Several leaders witnessed this and were shocked.

The scene of the Void surpassing Tier Nine was still vivid, they instinctively wanted to retreat to avoid being sucked in.

"Don't be fooled!"

Inside the Doomsday Fortress, the cold electronic voice reminded them, "His black hole's Spiritual Ability Threshold is off."

The astute individuals quickly caught the implied meaning and halted their steps.

At this moment, the newly awakened Han Zhan also saw his character panel.
