Chapter 464: Chapter 184: "Frontline No. 1 Is Hard.

...

"I’m leaving now."

Atop the City Wall.

Chen Fan waved at Sister Chan and the other leaders without another word. He boarded the Flying Ship, and as it rose into the sky, he was finally ready to go home.

He had been away for three months.

He was a bit exhausted.

He stood on the deck, looking down at the Blue Level Building Blueprint in his hand. After he had flatly rejected Sister Chan’s request, the woman had become much more normal, and their subsequent interactions had gone smoothly.

He had successfully brought this Blue Level Building Blueprint back with him.

-

「Exotic Treasure Name」: Xuanwu Cannon.

「Exotic Treasure Effect」: Blue.

「Exotic Treasure Level」: Building Blueprint, City Defense Building.

-

The description panel was extremely simple, just a few short lines. It proved this was a City Defense Building, just like the Godslaying Cannon. The Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline had two of these Blueprints, and one of them was now in his hands.

As for the other one, the Architect at the Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline was still trying to decipher it, but hadn’t yet succeeded.

Deciphering a Blue Level blueprint was no simple task.

This initial trade had been quite pleasant.

He glanced at the various bags and parcels piled on the deck, which included many lower-level Building Blueprints.

’Time to head home.’

He stretched and yawned wearily. ’First things first, I need to go home and get a good night’s sleep.’

...

"I’ve finally found it."

In the heartland of the Eternal Night Continent, within a city belonging to the 「Eternal Night Hall」, Qiu Yisi stood in a room filled with information stored on Jade Scrolls, kraft paper, and more. He gazed at a worn, aged piece of kraft paper in his hand and murmured to himself.

"Ancient Era."

"Jiangbei under attack. The Immortal Celestial Master reinforces the Jiangbei Defense Line."

"The Immortal Celestial Master possesses a Building Blueprint named 「Celestial Pillar」. It is said he has failed to decipher it for a long time; other Architects who have tried have also failed."

Ever since he learned that the structure in the Mortal Realm was called the Celestial Pillar, he had been holed up in the Library Pavilion these past few days.

He had a persistent feeling that he had seen those two words somewhere before.

’Could it be...’

’...that the Mortal Realm has discovered a Ghost Ore mine left behind from the Ancient Battlefield?’

Qiu Yisi nodded thoughtfully.

As things stood,

it seemed that the Building Blueprint the Immortal Celestial Master had failed to decipher back then must have been successfully deciphered—and built—by Chen Fan.

Just then—

"Master."

Tian Yi’s voice called from outside the Library Pavilion.

"Come in."

Qiu Yisi put away the kraft paper and smiled toward the door. Tian Yi had survived a near-fatal ordeal, and Qiu Yisi had been delighted to hear the news. He was especially happy knowing that Tian Yi, just like him, had experienced a Celestial Dao Blessing.

The negative effects of the 「Fire Descendant」 were completely gone, and his power had soared.

Soon,

Tian Yi stepped into the room and stood there with a serious expression. "Over the past three months, I’ve thoroughly investigated everyone you assigned me, Master. I have confirmed that one of them is a traitor. He was the one who leaked the information about the reinforcements for the No. 7 Defense Line."

Qiu Yisi laughed, a very happy laugh. He looked Tian Yi up and down for a long moment before beckoning him over. "Come, sit here."

"The one who leaked the intelligence... is his name Wang Fa?"

"Master, you knew?"

Tian Yi was stunned.

"Of course I knew," Qiu Yisi said with a smile. "This was a test I set for you. Naturally, I would know the correct answer."

"But Master, if you knew, why didn’t you do anything?"

"Because that would be too much of a waste."

Qiu Yisi stood up and walked toward the end of the Library Pavilion. "A traitor like that, who has passed on correct intelligence and earned the trust of the Ghost Race, is an extremely useful pawn for us. At a critical moment, we can use him to feed false information to the Ghost Race and turn the tide."

He walked to a wall and looked at the picture hanging on it.

"I’ve already reported this to my superiors."

"In a few years, I won’t be able to do this anymore."

"You are my chosen successor for the position of 「Western Action Group Leader of the Eternal Night Hall」. You will be responsible for deploying and appointing all members of the Western Action Group. In these final few years, my main responsibility will be to train you."

"What you are about to see is the highest secret of the Eternal Night Hall Western Action Team."

The next moment—

the painting before them suddenly burst into flames without any wind.

Immediately after,

a crack appeared down the middle of the wall. It slowly slid open, revealing a flight of oil-lit stairs leading underground.

"Follow me."

...

「Mortal Realm.」

After three busy months, Chen Fan returned to the Mortal Realm. The first thing he did was order a batch of grain to be sent to the front lines via the Sky Rails, and then he collapsed into bed.

’I’m dead tired!’

’Right now, I don’t want to think about anything. I just want a good night’s sleep.’

’Even if the sky were to fall, it would have to wait until I woke up.’

As Chen Fan drifted off to sleep, the Mortal Realm sprang into action. Bags of grain were loaded onto the High-speed Rail, quickly filling up a car. Then, at dusk, the fully-laden Mortal Realm High-speed Rail reached the end of its dedicated track and began to ascend.

It climbed straight up to an altitude of one thousand meters.

Only then did it begin to speed along the Sky Rails, a full thousand meters above the ground, heading toward the Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1.

This was an extended High-speed Rail, and the amount of grain it carried was no small sum—enough to feed the 770,000 people at the No. 1 Frontline for three days.

"This is pretty high up."

A member of the Mortal Realm Logistics Pavilion stood inside a car, looking down at the distant ground. He shivered as he spoke. To be honest, it was a little scary.

"It is a little."

Another member of the Logistics Pavilion on duty beside him also trembled.

’A fall from this height would be fatal.’

Several hours later.

Eternal Night had completely fallen.

The High-speed Rail slowly arrived at the 「Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline」. The track was level with the City Wall, allowing direct access. Thanks to a prior connection made via Sound Transmission Talisman, people were already there to receive them.
