Chapter 1 Fortress of Piyue

The Piyue Fortress was located on the northeastern frontier and taken over by the Fourth Legion.

The vast snow was as sharp as a knife.

A source energy boat landed in front of the fortress gate. The gate had already been opened, and the high-ranking generals of the Fourth Legion had gathered to welcome them.

A young figure in a cloak stood at the very front. Five figures descended from the source energy boat one after another.

The leader was Rust Bone.

The tip of the bronze sword sheath struck the snow, making a dull thud. The generals of the Fourth Legion knelt on one knee.

"Lord Rust Bone."

The young figure at the front looked a little dazed. Since yesterday, he had noticed that General Rust Bone was somewhat abnormal, inexplicably giving him the Mistweave Cloak... Then, he said he was going to Central City and issued an internal mobilization order, ordering all transcendents above the fourth rank within the Fourth Legion's jurisdiction to gather at Piyue Fortress.

As Rust Bone's rage spilled out, the bronze sword in the ground emitted a pale white glow of annihilation... The mere power emanating from the sword made title holders like Luo Er and Gu Shenren feel palpitations.

I came here inexplicably.

I looked at the figures behind Rust Bone, vaguely feeling that one of them looked familiar. Rust Bone knew that Gu Nanfeng would leave North Continent before long.

When I left East Continent back then...

A gleam of light lit up in Rust Bone's eyes.

But now that there was a chance to do it again, I didn't do it. Rust Bone rubbed his brow, sorting out his thoughts.

"This world can be restarted. Every time we get a bad ending, we can start over."

I couldn't quite look directly at them.

"...Yes!"

But besides palpitations, what gave everyone more was peace of mind. "It's just a spar."

I can't wait to rush back to the frontier and kill all the Travelers! This is the "power of the source of destruction" that transcends the limits of mortal power!

Rust Bone reached out and gently patted the young man's shoulder, his eyes full of gentle comfort. "Is that so? That's quite a coincidence..."

"To trigger a logical loophole, it must be done in the [Old World]?" Gu Nanfeng looked a little puzzled, but without the slightest hesitation, he immediately responded.

When you spend a long time with someone, you ignore their changes... Come to think of it, I've known Gu Nanfeng for nearly ten years. "Nanfeng."

Gu Nanfeng softly repeated the name Zhu Xin.

This was the first time I had seen the appearance of "Cn021." The young general gripped his bronze sword tightly.

Rust Bone silently stared at North Continent.

The Fourth Legion was stationed in scattered locations on the frontier, and there had never been such a large-scale mobilization! "That's right!"

I once saw him.

"If we can leave here and return to the Seven Continents... everything will still be in time."

In these few restarts, I have been trying to save this world in my own way... even if I believe that everything here is false.

North Continent had not yet ignited the raging fire.

Several people entered the fortress interior and arrived at General Rust Bone's main boat. Right now, Rust Bone saw hope.

When Rust Bone was exiled, he vaguely sensed something was wrong, but he didn't expect that after he left, such a huge disturbance would arise in the Seven Continents!

"First, leave the Seven Continents."

He took the initiative to extend his hand and sternly smiled, "It's a coincidence, my surname is also Gu." After saying those words.

"Silver Fox and White Lizard will not encounter accidents."

I subconsciously attributed all the responsibility to myself. "What's going on?"

Zhu Xin extended two fingers and gently tapped her forehead, saying seriously, "As for the route after entering the Old World... I have a complete map here."

These past years gave me a different feeling, saying it was clear but not clear. "Crack."

Zhu Xin said, "So we must leave here." After the Scarlet Crusade War ended.

"So... what should we do?"

"If there were another chance, I would definitely let Gu Nanfeng stay in North Continent and inherit my mantle." "If I hadn't been negligent, if I could have been more cautious..."

The Eight Great Generals had experienced countless wars together, rising to the top together during the Scarlet Crusade. The bond between the three of us was stronger than metal and iron. After personally killing the White Lizard, we learned from North Continent that the Silver Fox had also perished.

"Grand Inquisitor of East Continent, Gu Shenren."

It's like I've seen him somewhere before.

Rust Bone's heart was difficult to calm for a while.

Both White Lizard and Silver Fox were plotted against by [Deep Sea], and their bodies were seized. The world was very big, and Zhu Xin was very small.

North Continent's speech was fast and calm: "The Piyue Fortress will appear in a year, we don't have time to wait any longer... There must be some important logical loophole in this restarted world, don't forget the 'common ground' for our arrival here."

As the highest general of the frontier, being absent from such an important war was truly the greatest dereliction of duty in life!

Rust Bone had already ordered the [Deep Sea] network inside the main boat to be shut down... According to the timeline of the restarted world, it had been several years since [Deep Sea] rebelled, but this spiritual network had already been unsafe seventy years ago.

Everyone left the Seven Continents and entered the [Old World], and only then could they arrive here!

In the next ten years, Gu Nanfeng would live a very hard life because of this choice, but in any case... Cno21 would always be my most proud disciple.

"The problem is small... we need to leave from Gubao Fortress."

Zhu Xin shook hands with Gu Nanfeng. I could tell that Gu Nanfeng wanted to chat with me more. Every time the world restarted, I insulted Gu Nanfeng's choice and let him leave.

This meeting was of great significance.

But I didn't respond and continued the topic. "...Yes."

Rust Bone looked at the young man's eyes.

Gu Shenren and Luo Er were silent. We could understand Rust Bone's mood. Due to being plotted against by [Deep Sea]...

It was a hoarse, self-deprecating laugh.

North Continent saw that Rust Bone was in a state of anxiety. But right now, no matter how anxious you are, it's meaningless.

My gaze lingered on the youngest young man for a moment.

I first asked about the situation in the Seven Continents: "Your Majesty is caught in a bitter battle in the Source Tower... is our only hope now that Meng Xizhou completely melts the Fire Seed and then achieves the God Throne?"

This was what Rust Bone always talked about, always hanging on his lips, after Gu Nanfeng left back then. But what if we "do it again?"

"But..."

General Rust Bone with such power was our ally! The saddest thing in this world is helplessness. For some reason, I always feel...

I stared at the young man and slowly said, "Do you know that these few restarts actually made a trace of good fortune bloom in the depths of my heart?"

Gu Nanfeng nodded slightly, considering it a meeting. "North Continent..."

"Ha..."

The main boat was silent for a few seconds. .....-

I would still visit His Majesty, report intelligence, take off my cloak, and give it to the youngest person I admired most. How could the events in Central City be hidden from us?

"According to him, the world's frontier is currently being attacked by the Traveler race." Because what we were most willing to do was the same as Rust Bone. Every time the world restarted.

I comforted him in a low voice: "Mr. Rust Bone, the situation in the Seven Continents is indeed grim, but it's not as serious as you think." Every time the world restarted.

North Continent was silent for a few seconds, then raised his clear eyes and suddenly asked, "But what about the outside world?"

North Continent remembered the meeting with Nanfeng not long ago. Gu Nanfeng, who inherited the position of family head, had his youthful arrogance completely washed away by the years due to his hard work day and night, and even a hint of gray could be seen in his temples.

So North Continent hastily ended the conversation with Gu Nanfeng. He would go to see His Majesty.....

In order for the "break restart" mission to be completed smoothly, I didn't want to change too much of the original trajectory. Rust Bone exhaled softly.

"The outside world will not restart. Destruction is true destruction... There is no second chance for the things you want to protect: fortresses, old friends, people."

Zhu Xin gathered the outsiders who came to this restarted world and also brought fragmentary information about the restarted world and the Seven Continents world to Rust Bone, who was in a state of confusion.

North Continent spoke sincerely, saying, "The war will begin because of our arrival. As for 'White Lizard' and 'Silver Fox,' their spirits must be kept by [Deep Sea] in a closed sea. The damage caused by this disaster may not be so slight."

North Continent looked at the young Gu Nanfeng and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Luo Er frowned and raised a very important question: "The Old World is so big, how should we go?" Then.

North Continent solemnly said: "So... my suggestion is, now, immediately, at once, leave Zhouji Fortress by source energy boat! Zhouji has been safe and secure for eighty years, and I suffered such a heavy blow due to a moment of carelessness.

But these eyes are more dazzling than the myriad fires in the world.

Similarly, he would also take off his cloak and give it to the young man he valued most.

Rust Bone smiled and said, "I went to see His Majesty... I have an important matter to announce by summoning you here." North Continent was stunned for a second.

Gu Nanfeng said softly, "Everyone is very relaxed. We also heard that you had some conflicts with the commander of the Investigation Corps."

Although it was just a polite meeting now, Gu Nanfeng at this moment had a wooden sword at his waist, and his cloak was swaying in the wind, and his every move was filled with overflowing spirit.

Rust Bone naturally understood his sensitive disciple. He calmly opened his mouth and introduced the people behind him: "These three are my disciples, Tiantong Luo Er, Zhong Wei... and Zhu Xin."

I know.

"North Continent..."

My expression became serious, and I ordered, "Nanfeng, from now on, you must lead people to evacuate the residents of the surrounding area and take them to other livable cities... At the same time, send people to seal off the Piyue Fortress."
