Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 566 - 540: Worlds Apart

As Chen Shouyi was calling out to the Shell Lady from afar, he couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Why agreeing blindly?

I’m in a hurry looking, who cares where you are?

"Little one, come out quickly!"

"Little one!"

As he shouted, he hurried to the mountaintop.

"President Chen, what are you looking for? Let me help you!" Li Wenwu noticed Chen Shouyi looking around frantically as if searching for something, and suppressed his intense curiosity about the battle’s outcome to ask.

Chen Shouyi thought maybe the other person had some clue, so he said: "A little person!"

"Little person?" Li Wenwu was utterly confused.

"Not that kind of little person, but a tiny human, not even twenty centimeters tall, wearing a little dress, can fly, and looks very pretty." Chen Shouyi painstakingly explained.

"Otherworldly creature?"

"Yes!"

"A tiny person wearing a dress, who can fly, and is female?"

Chen Shouyi immediately nodded eagerly, asking urgently: "You’ve seen it?"

"Uh, no!" Li Wenwu shook his head.

If not, why bother asking?

Chen Shouyi was quite annoyed and gave him a glare.

Absolutely wasting my emotions and time.

Just then, Chen Shouyi sharply heard a slight rustling from the grass around, and he quickly turned his head to look. In the next moment, he saw a small figure shoot out from the grass like an arrow, swiftly climbing up his pants to his chest and burrowing into his embrace.

Li Wenwu was left utterly speechless:

"Is this your pet little person?"

Chen Shouyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and glanced sideways at him, what’s with that expression?

Can’t I keep a pet?

The Shell Lady was evidently frightened, curled up on his chest trembling continuously, and he quickly comforted her gently with affection: "There, there, don’t be scared, the good giant is here!"

"The little one wasn’t scared at all, and fought off many bad bugs that were going to bite me, but I killed them all." The Shell Lady huddled in his embrace, trembling as she spoke softly.

"Yes, the little one is very brave!"

...

Li Wenwu watched with a face aching, feeling a shattered image.

This powerful figure, globally recognized as the Martial Arts Grandmaster, even able to contend against a True God... oh right, he hasn’t asked the result yet.

Then he remembered something, and his heart began to beat wildly.

General Manager Chen came back alive and unharmed.

Doesn’t that mean...

His breath became rapid and his tone stuttered: "Chen... General Manager Chen, what about... that God of Blood?"

"Dead!" Chen Shouyi spoke casually while conversing softly with the Shell Lady.

Li Wenwu felt a jolt throughout his body, scalp tingling as if electrified, hair standing up.

Dead?

Though he had guessed, hearing it directly from the other made it feel unreal.

They were merely here to investigate the spatial passage, preparing for the upcoming battle, killing the God of Blood wasn’t even in the plan, as far as he knew, dozens of nuclear warheads had been prepared behind the scenes, millions of troops, ready for the worst, most brutal scenario.

If the situation went awry, countless lives would be lost.

Yet the war hadn’t started, and the God of Blood died?

The war is over!

"Really, you... you’re not joking, right? This isn’t funny at all." Li Wenwu cautiously reconfirmed.

What the other said seemed too casual, how could he believe it?

"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Shouyi replied, feeling speechless.

I’ve only joked once, how come you don’t believe me now.

"The divine corpse... you placed it in your space, right?"

Chen Shouyi’s face froze at the words: "It got smashed and was left near the spatial passage."

"Smashed?" Li Wenwu felt like he hadn’t heard clearly.

"Accidentally exerted too much force and broke it, it mixed with lava." Chen Shouyi explained, feeling a bit regretful, it was a True God’s divine corpse, worth a fortune.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Smashed... smashed?

Lava... lava?

Li Wenwu opened his mouth, sensing they were in entirely different worlds, he understood each word the other said, but together, he didn’t know what the other was talking about?

His mind felt muddled, like a mass of confusion, unless looking too foolish, he would’ve slapped himself awake:

"General Manager Chen, let’s clarify, you’re saying... the God of Blood is confirmed dead, killed by you!"

"It was smashed to bits, so it’s definitely dead." Chen Shouyi said strangely, this conversation is exhausting!

Li Wenwu’s inner thoughts: Well, seems plausible, but it’s too easy, this is a True God, are you truly sure it was the God of Blood, and not something else?

"Really dead?"

"Really dead!" Chen Shouyi was irritated, the person seemed like they were missing a screw, I said dead, is this endless: "Look at the domain of faith here, it’s starting to slowly disperse."

Li Wenwu glanced around bewildered.

Domain of faith, what are you talking about?

I don’t see it?

Don’t deceive me!

He wasn’t a divine creature, unable to see domain of faith directly.

After a long while, Li Wenwu forced himself to believe the God of Blood was indeed dead, in truth, it wasn’t distrust in Chen Shouyi, the news was simply too bizarre.

They came merely to investigate the spatial passage, yet inadvertently took down the big boss, God of Blood.

What kind of... whoa.

The two didn’t stay long here, immediately returned the way they came.

...

Command center.

Phone rings echoed continuously.

Commander He Qingming picked up the phone: "What, your 16th Group Army will arrive a few days late!"

"Exactly how many days?"

"I don’t care what the reason is, I’ll only give you five days, within five days you must arrive at the designated location, that’s an order!"

He Qingming slammed the phone down angrily.

Just then the phone rang again, and he swiftly picked it up, soon a smile spread across his face: "Thanks to the Air Force brothers, I’ll set aside words of gratitude, during the victory celebration I’ll propose a toast!"

The door pushed open.

The Chief of Staff entered, He Qingming smiled and spoke a few words, then hung up.

"The strategic missile forces are in position, unfortunately the missiles can’t reach the spatial passage, can only cover three to four hundred kilometers, limited to close defense, this battle is tough." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Currently without satellite navigation, relying solely on radar, the guidance is limited in range.

Though inertial guidance can be used, the accuracy is poor, barely better than WWII’s V1 missiles.

"Tough or not, it must be fought!" He Qingming looked toward the map, along Great Xia Country’s border line, marked with a red solid line, crossed out.

This was the last defense line, if the God of Blood broke through here, it would bring everything to ashes.

Just uncertain how many deaths would ensue.

His heart felt heavy.

Hopefully this war proceeds smoothly.
