Chapter 130: Mercy Above Humanity

Has Qingshan County been breached? What is Yunshan Tian Shu Bureau doing!

Didn’t they receive Qingshan County’s request for support?

A third-tier mutated creature? And the county fell before support arrived?

That’s not an excuse!

Wang Shouguo’s roar made everyone in the Capital Tian Shu Bureau tremble; he gripped the phone tightly, eyes bloodshot.

This isn’t some drama like last time in Bi Bo City—it’s a real beast tide!

How many people are in a county? What terror are those civilians hiding in shelters facing right now?

If those shelters are discovered by the mutated creatures, how many will die because of it?

On the other end of the line, the director of Yunshan Tian Shu Bureau remained silent, unable to respond.

How many members are still alive in Qingshan County’s Tian Shu Bureau?

Wang Shouguo took a deep breath and asked, forcing down his emotions.

Silence.

After several long seconds, Wang Shouguo slowly closed his eyes and ended the call.

Order—

He opened his eyes, voice low but carrying undeniable resolve.

All cities around Yunshan City, immediately deploy ability-user squads to urgently reinforce Qingshan County!

Priority One: Ensure absolute safety of civilians in the shelters!

Priority Two: Locate surviving Tian Shu Bureau members!

Priority Three: Eradicate all mutated creatures that have invaded the county!

As the orders were issued, everyone in the Capital Tian Shu Bureau sprang into action; communication channels instantly flooded with emergency deployment orders.

Although Yunshan Tian Shu Bureau’s reinforcements have now arrived, it’s not enough—far from enough!

Before the beast tide entered, they could use any weapons permitted within range, without worrying about harming civilians; but once the tide entered the city, many weapons could no longer be used.

So even with Yunshan Tian Shu Bureau’s reinforcements, they cannot eliminate all mutated creatures in the city within a short time.

Especially since this beast tide includes third-tier mutated creatures.

Send Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, Shen Xuan, and others to Qingshan County!

Last beast tide was quelled within twelve hours.

This one must be quelled within twelve hours too!

In the cultivation chamber.

Has Qingshan County been breached?

Gu Che heard Wang Shouguo’s words, his expression momentarily dazed, then flooded with fury.

He didn’t know what Qingshan County looked like now, but he clearly remembered the torn bodies he’d seen during the last beast tide, and the frozen despair on those people’s faces before death.

But what shook him more than Qingshan County’s breach was this—no one from Qingshan County’s Tian Shu Bureau survived.

Boom!

Gu Che’s fist slammed hard against the alloy wall of the cultivation chamber; the entire wall trembled; his face was grim.

What emotions did those fallen warriors face in their final moments? Knowing death was certain, yet still choosing to delay time with their flesh and blood.

I’m going!

Gu Che snapped his head up, eyes blazing with terrifying killing intent.

Now!

Wang Shouguo watched his expression, his tense face slightly relaxing.

I’ve already arranged it.

Not just you—Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, Shen Xuan, everyone is going!

Kill more mutated creatures.

He said grimly.

Understood!

Gu Che grabbed his weapon and responded.

At that moment, killing intent surged through the cultivation chamber!

Metropolis Tian Shu Bureau.

After learning of the situation in Bi Bo City, Lu Jing’s anger and killing intent were beyond words.

Although in their past assumptions, one day mutated creatures might reach power rivaling human civilization, even breach human cities and pose serious threats,

He never imagined this day would come so soon!

Qingshan County breached, all Tian Shu Bureau members died defending civilians.

Haha. Hahaha.

Lu Jing clenched his fists tightly, icy eyes filled with the most intense killing intent.

Just a bunch of beasts—how dare they do this? They deserve to die, all of them!

One day, he would kill every single mutated creature.

Every last one.

Jinling Tian Shu Bureau, training ground.

Boom!

Blinding Lei Guang exploded suddenly; violent electric currents surged through the training ground like furious dragons, instantly vaporizing specially made alloy targets.

Surrounding members retreated in shock, staring at the figure engulfed in lightning at the center.

Lin Ruoxi stood at the heart of the thunder, her long hair whipping wildly in static, eyes flickering with chilling, heart-stopping light.

Has Qingshan County been breached?

Her voice was soft, yet sent a bone-deep chill through everyone.

How many years? Since humanity rose to the top of this planet, how long had no creature dared invade our cities?

The last ones who did were humans themselves; now, a bunch of beasts dare do the same?

Since the spiritual energy revival, even during the initial spiritual tides and beast tides, she had never taken mutated creatures seriously.

She could proudly speak of “equality of life,” but that was always based on humanity’s absolute dominance.

Like humans protect endangered animals, or cherish beloved pets,

Humans know better than any life form that life is unequal.

Since those mutated creatures believe they no longer need humanity’s mercy, and instead hunt humans, then humanity has no reason to view them as before.

Lin Ruoxi clenched her fists tightly; the thunder around her surged again, blinding lightning illuminating the entire training ground like daylight, the air thick with the sharp smell of ozone.

Prepare the aircraft.

Her voice was colder than ice.

I’ll make those beasts understand what humanity truly is to them.

Pengcheng—sudden, biting cold spread.

Shen Mo stood in the Tian Shu Bureau; the air around him instantly crystallized into fine ice shards; his gaze was terrifyingly cold, spiritual power leaking uncontrollably, frost rapidly spreading across the ground from his feet.

Qingshan County

He slowly lifted his head, eyes brimming with lethal intent.

Go.

To Qingfeng Mountain.

They covet human territory? Then I’ll make them—

Stay there forever.

With one step forward, the entire Tian Shu Bureau’s temperature plummeted; piercing cold enveloped the place, slowly spreading outward.

Are you truly not going to act?

Li Cheng’an looked at the man before him, a flicker of concern in his eyes.

Aside from the last dimensional creatures, this is the first time a beast tide has breached city defenses.

Steam rose gently from the teacup, misting between the two men.

Zhong Shanhai lowered his gaze; the tea leaves slowly sank to the bottom of the cup, his eyes seeming to pierce through the liquid, seeing blood far away.

First time—but not the last.

He said calmly.

With your power, you could quell this disaster in an instant.

Li Cheng’an gripped his teacup.

And then?

Let humanity live forever under the shadow of gods?

Zhong Shanhai looked up at him, shook his head, and continued:

This is the pain civilization must endure—and it’s only third-tier mutated creatures. For Great Xia, it means nothing.

Li Cheng’an sighed deeply; he knew this well.

Not to mention Great Xia has new fifth-tier cultivators besides Zhong Shanhai—even third-tier ones, there are more than a few.

A beast tide with third-tier mutated creatures truly means nothing to Great Xia.

But those who died in this war were lives that could have been saved.

They will become the foundation of civilization.

You will be like this in the future, and so will I.

Zhong Shanhai said calmly.

His gaze turned to the distance, as if piercing through empty space, seeing the mutated creatures ravaging Qingshan County, and seeing the increasingly powerful mutated creatures emerging among all future races.

Civilization always undergoes transformation through war.
