“Rustbone?!”

The weight of this name certainly befits the title of top-tier combat power.

The three great generals of the Northern Continent are recognized throughout the five continents as existences standing at the peak of the conferred titles, surpassing the mundane. “Rustbone… is also an ‘outsider’?”

Zhou Jiren frowned, then suddenly realized.

Every time this world restarts, they arrive in Twilight City on time, or even earlier… but according to this world's trajectory, the trio shouldn't have any connection with Rustbone!

“Although this is just my guess…”

Gu Shen took a deep breath and said, “But I'm more than ninety percent sure.”

He was exiled into this restarting world by the Abyss through the Banishment Array. “How is that possible?!”

I slowly exhaled a plume of smoke.

The Eight Little Generals enjoy extremely high prestige in the Northern Continent, second only to His Majesty. Except for the dozen or so youngsters on my mission, they all travel in such vehicles. It's as if Rustbone knows what you’re going to do.

“The underground research institute of the Northern Continent developed the earliest source-energy艇. Due to the merger, airships were popularized in the Eastern Continent after a few years.”

However, the raging flames did not erupt.

Now, Rustbone suddenly appears at the Empress’s manor, saying such words, causing the imperial guards standing behind Gu Shen to change color.

A slight trembling force was released from Rustbone’s palm.

“If it really concerns the survival of the Northern Continent, His Majesty will come forward.”

“Forget it, I won’t explain it to you this time.”

Unless Zhou Ji is willing to cooperate with the "performance," everything will develop in a new direction. To possess it is to desecrate it.

What kind of crisis is it that even the great general is so anxious about? Upon hearing this, the smile on Yan Gong's face stiffened slightly. The original world trajectory was completely disrupted.

“That's right, Guang Ming Bi Lei… my conferred title.”

Zhou Ji was silent for a moment, then admitted, “To be honest, not long after you left, Senior Brother, the Eastern Continent phased out that kind of vehicle.”

Half an hour later, the dawn's light surged forward like a tide.

…

“Set off now, go directly to the Northern Continent.”…

She couldn't let Rustbone step into the pavilion just like that! I still remember when we first met.

Listening to his senior brother and sister's voices, Zhou Ji felt a warmth in his heart. He said softly, "Actually… Mr. Gu Changzhi has a conferred title."

Looking at the smiles on his senior brother and sister’s and teacher’s faces, he took a light breath, his expression becoming solemn. Regarding his earlier statement about "returning to the real world," the three of them showed no hesitation, appearing deeply convinced.

But she thought, at least she could delay him slightly. …

She knew that the outcome of her stopping Rustbone would surely be death. “I have something very important, I need to see Her Majesty…”

Zhong Weiren finished the last puff of his cigar, then flicked it off the rooftop with force.

So, so far, the two sides have not met, which is also reasonable. But Gu Shen's intervention is different.

Teacher, you have restarted 137 times.

Rustbone’s hand easily enveloped Gu Shen’s head. Obviously.

Yeah. Rustbone sighed softly. “Don’t smile so happily.”

“Yan Gong, do you know? The title Guang Ming Bi Lei is the dream of every extraordinary person in the Eastern Continent!” Rustbone's words at this moment made Yan Gong a little confused. Just as she was puzzled.

Zhou Ji sat in the driver's seat, skillfully maneuvering the helicopter towards the central city. Zi Yu sat in the co-pilot seat, watching her junior brother's even less familiar operating skills, her eyes full of emotion. She couldn't help but ask, "So after we left, you often flew this kind of aerial vehicle?"

He smiled slightly proudly. But now it has become a reality.

A torrent of air burst open in the courtyard of the manor!

Because Rustbone's environment is completely different from Zhou Jiren’s trio, even if the world restarts time and time again, they will not intersect.

······.

Zhong Weiren had a look of emotion and sigh on his face as he slowly spoke Gu Changzhi's conferred title. I happily said, “You're a little stronger than last time.”

Yan Gong turned her head and smiled at Zi Yu, "After we go back, if Senior Brother encounters trouble, just say this conferred title!"

Great General Rustbone held the bronze sword with one hand, looking at Gu Shen seriously and slowly saying, “This matter concerns the survival of the Northern Continent.” However… Zhou Ji is indeed qualified to inherit this conferred title now!

That seemingly light and majestic figure took a step forward, simultaneously extending a gigantic palm. At this moment, that palm naturally fell, gently pressing down on the top of Gu Shen's head.

Teacher, you think that if you want to leave this world, you need to find the "flaw" in this world. If I remember correctly… Zhou Ji had not yet advanced to the eighth rank at that time!

Boom!

When Gu Shen intervened as an outsider.

What traps Yan Gong is the departure of Twilight City Fortress, but once Rustbone joins the ranks, a powerful force at the Source level intervenes, the crisis of the Old World will be greatly reduced.

If we re-embark on the voyage of Twilight City, and at the end of this mental world, find the position where it should have been… we are not qualified to trust ourselves.

·······

That force was just a tremor, and in an instant, it was transmitted to the position of Yan Gong's heart lake!

(Sorry, sorry, I was delayed by some things, but I still have the sun here, so it doesn’t count as going back on my word, right? There will be more tonight!)

He is the "linker," the "bond," and also the most crucial "person" in this restarting world. How could she have imagined that she wouldn't even be able to delay Rustbone by a single step…

“Fool, Junior Brother is already a Divine Seat.” “Concerns the survival of the Northern Continent?”

“This is the seventh time we’ve crossed paths…”

The Dragonfall Domain was extinguished before it could be ignited. I remember this conferred title very clearly.

“?!”

But it was precisely these short few days that caused the Seven Continents Council to seal away the Guang Ming Bi Lei title. This is the highest level of honor in the world of the extraordinary. No one has been able to touch it for seventy years. None of the amazing geniuses who have emerged in recent years and broken through the seventeenth floor of the Abyss Trial is qualified to touch the name Guang Ming Bi Lei.

Yan Gong chuckled and then asked, “So what is your conferred title? What is your conferred title?” "Guang Ming Bi Lei."

So, something similar to a system bug appeared. Zi Yu was stunned, then smiled happily.

There was no hostility or killing intent—"..."

Zhou Ji returned to the topic: "Since the world trajectory has been disrupted, why don't we go directly to find Rustbone? If Great General Rustbone is an 'outsider,' the next thing will be simple..."

A long-lost, familiar environment.

Gu Shen raised his head and only saw a huge shadow. This name is basically tied to the word "unlucky."

Zi Yu was surprised.

In the Seven Continents, Hades is not a good word.

Yan Gong jokingly said, let Zhou Ji think of a good title for the future, and one day when he encounters trouble, he can solve it by reporting his junior brother's conferred title.

“According to the original world trajectory, in a few days, the review team will conduct an extraordinary assessment of Gu Shen…”

Rustbone extended another hand, pinched two fingers, and plucked a strand of Dragonfall Fire from Gu Shen's cloak. Originally, this was just a joke.

"Phased out?"

Gu Shen gritted his teeth and solemnly said, "Just a few days ago, Her Majesty told me that this closed-door cultivation is very important and cannot be disturbed in any way."

Gu Shen looked at the majestic woman in armor and a bronze iron sword at her waist and respectfully said, "Great Rustbone, Her Majesty the Empress is currently in closed-door meditation... Even you, without divine authorization, may not enter the pavilion."

“You can learn this kind of thing with just one glance.”

Yan Gong looked at the rearview mirror, and saw that the teacher's eyes looking at her were a little dazed. Usually, she would definitely stop Rustbone.

Zhong Wei asked in confusion, "But now that you have intervened as an 'outsider,' what should they do?" How long did Gu Changzhi stay with the "conferred title?"

Zhou Ji smiled and said, "By the way, the popularization of airships made the Flower Banner Group in the capital a fortune." Zhou Ji, who was leaning on the railing, smiled helplessly: "Senior Brother, don't be silly. At this time, what's the point of testing…"

But now, Her Majesty is at a crucial moment in lifting the Crucible!

For someone like Gu Changzhi, conferred titles really don't have much meaning, because at the time when the Guang Ming Bi Lei title was conferred in Dark City, he had already successfully fused the Battlefire Seed and become a Divine Seat above tens of thousands of people.

Gu Shen took a firm step to the side, blocking Rustbone, and simultaneously activated Dragonfall. His cloak moved automatically without wind. After he spread his arms, the surrounding temperature rapidly began to rise!

I didn't realize it, but I had already walked here. “You’re still the same…”

Tian Tong crossed her arms, closed her eyes to rest, and said lightly, “Do you see Mr. Gu Changzhi with a conferred title? When you return to the real world later, if you run into trouble, it will be good to just report the name 'Hades'.”

This matter is only known to me alone. Even Grand Duke Zhuxue and that younger brother far away in Gubu have not been informed by Her Majesty the Empress. At this moment, in the central city, after the Empress's Pavilion.

Gu Shen was stunned in place.

Yan Gong looked out the window and said leisurely, "If you report the name 'Hades', you might get beaten even worse." "Indeed."

I'm afraid it's only been a few days. Tian Tong slowly opened her eyes.

And the next person to be exiled…

A helicopter advanced along with the dawn.

Yan Gong stood at the very front of the manor, her back facing the imperial guards who were disorderly assembled.

Senior Sister Tian Tong also smiled and said, "I remember when I first entered the Tribunal, I was still ashamed and said that I would take the future Guang Ming Bi Lei title, but the more I practiced, the more I knew the meaning of the two words Guang Ming Bi Lei, the weight contained in that conferred title, is not something that ordinary people can bear."

It's Rustbone.

That huge body suddenly took a step forward. -.....

"..... I really didn't expect that this world would become so ordinary after I left." When I left at that time, Zhou Ji was still young.

Judging from the practical performance just now, Rustbone's reaction speed is much faster than her, and the gentle trembling force that just surged from his palm directly blocked the expansion of the Dragonfall in her body. All of these actions were so smooth and fluid.

“Chi!”
