Chen Shouyi distanced himself from the thunderstorm and flew back to his original location.

A large amount of matter in the air and ground vanished into thin air, and a set of clothes, including shoes, materialized on his body. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

In a sense, he's now begun to be self-sufficient, at least since he could synthesize clothes himself, he hasn't bought any clothes again.

He looked at his body tinged with blue, and with a thought.

The high-energy liquid permeating his skin quickly retracted back into the depths of his body, and his skin returned to normal.

He lifted his head and saw two little guys who had hidden somewhere earlier hurry back.

...

With Chen Shouyi joining the battlefield, the war in Yan State became extremely smooth, completely unstoppable.

In just a month, most of Yan State was occupied. Although the followers of the Lord of Lightning organized several large-scale frenzied counterattacks, each time they were easily defeated, and morale collapsed.

Just as Chen Shouyi thought he would stay until the Yan State war ended, the situation suddenly changed, and he was quickly summoned back to the country.

Due to the threats from the gods and the need for a buffer zone, as the hegemon of Southeast Asia, including South Australia, the God of Order, who possessed medium Divine Power, had not made any moves. Southeast Asia remained relatively calm, even the weaker God of Conspiracy and God of Fertility had their place.

However, this time, for some unknown reason, unexpectedly, a war was stirred up.

Inside the airplane.

Chen Shouyi was reviewing intelligence reports, feeling a bit of a headache.

This time, the target of the God of Order's war was none other than the God of Fertility. His territory was on the Malay Peninsula, situated in the middle of the territories of the God of Conspiracy and the God of Order. Once the God of Order started a war, he would be the first to bear the brunt.

If it were some other Barbarian God, he wouldn't care about Her fate.

Even if it were the God of Conspiracy, with whom he'd had the most dealings, he wouldn't blink if She were dismembered.

But regarding the God of Fertility, a Barbarian God with whom he'd had a brief fling, emotionally, it was still somewhat different.

Women tend to have a deep impression of a one-time partner and never forget.

Actually, men are the same.

The airplane was unusually quiet.

Several government staff members, observing silence and maintaining proper posture, sat straight at the side, not daring to make a sound.

Those meeting Chen Shouyi for the first time always behaved this way.

Reputation precedes the person.

Faced with this Godslaying Powerhouse, the pillar of humanity, the mental pressure was overwhelming that without a certain mental fortitude, one would be tongue-tied.

"What is the government's stance?" Chen Shouyi flipped to the last page, finally set aside the document, and turned his head to ask.

One of the female staff members, who had rushed from the homeland, quickly squeezed a smile and cautiously said, "The President's intention is that avoiding war would be best. This time, we want to invite you to represent Great Xia Country in negotiations with the God of Order."

Chen Shouyi nodded.

The war with the otherworld has entered the fourth year, and Great Xia Country is already exhausted. The number of overseas troops has reached a staggering number, comparable to the domestic military strength.

And the great cost has yielded limited benefits for Great Xia Country.

After all, it's wartime, not peacetime, and everything domestically serves the war. At most, Great Xia Country gains some minerals, oil, and other resources, while paying a heavy price in ammunition and the lives of its soldiers.

Plus, with the major enemy, the Lord of Lightning present, the best choice for Great Xia Country is to maintain the status quo; stability is paramount, and development is the real principle.

However, he wasn't really adept at negotiations.

Last time, the negotiation went smoothly, but it also cost him dearly.

If it happens again...

He looked at the intelligence staff and said, "What if, during the negotiations, I accidentally kill the God of Order?"

The atmosphere quieted down.

An unknown, unremarkable mid-level official from the High Commission's Otherworld Policy Division was stunned for a long time and then stammered, "This... you... you have full authority, everything is up to you."

"That's good!" Chen Shouyi said, glancing at the time, "By the way, which is the nearest airport recently?"

"I think it's Marid Airport," the female staff member thought for a moment and said.

"Then let's land there, the plane is too slow." Chen Shouyi sighed.

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Uh, okay, I'll contact the pilot right away."

...

Two hours later.

The plane slowly landed at the airport.

Nowadays, both the East and the West are allied countries, and it's mostly official business, so the procedures are very simplified. Without alerting the local high-ranking officials, Chen Shouyi discreetly left the airport, found a secluded spot, and immediately soared into the sky.

The two little ones cautiously poked their heads out, and their hair fluttered wildly in the wind.

The next moment, the roaring wind in front of them disappeared without a trace, blocked by an invisible force.

His speed became faster and faster, flying higher and higher, piercing a big hole through the clouds, quickly reaching near outer space.

In the darkening sky, countless stars could be seen twinkling.

Here, the air resistance had become less than one percent of that on the ground.

His speed continued to increase.

Mach one.

...

Mach three.

...

Mach five.

Finally, he only stopped accelerating at Mach twenty.

Mach twenty! This was a terrifying speed, equivalent to that of intercontinental missiles flying near outer space after exiting the atmosphere.

His whole body was enveloped in a layer of cone-shaped air cover, an air-tight capsule formed by willful control, containing air at normal density, which not only reduced body resistance but also protected the two little ones inside.

Yet despite this, the surface still glowed with a fiery red due to intense air friction.

...

Just half an hour later.

He had crossed more than ten thousand kilometers, and Zhonghai was already in sight.

He suddenly realized something.

It seems Yan State isn't that far from Zhonghai either.

Sometimes habitual thinking is a stubborn disease.

At his current speed, while Earth can't be called a global village, at most, it's a small town; why bother enduring hardships daily in Yan State?

In truth, it wasn't that hard. In the two-plus months he spent in Yan State, he wasn't only surrounded by beauties daily, but he also sampled every wild animal Yan State had to offer, occasionally digesting by transforming into a Giant to tear down a few cities or something.

Plus, with the two small ones around every day, it never felt boring.

Chen Shouyi chose a remote spot to rapidly dive down and land.

He hadn't been home for two months and planned to make a trip back home first; going to Southeast Asia wasn't urgent.

At this moment, Zhonghai was still pitch black, and dawn hadn't broken yet.

Marid and Zhonghai were six time zones apart.

When they landed at Marid Airport, it was nine in the morning, while in Zhonghai, it wasn't even four yet.

Chen Shouyi stepped on the thick snow, walking forward with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

He intended to take a bicycle from his space, but eventually decided against it, with nobody on the road.

He moved forward at a leisurely pace, and by the time he reached home, it was already five o'clock.
