[Essence identification begins, soul verification is in progress, and certification is completed]

In the gray space, the characters suspended in front of Huai Shi gradually changed, and finally turned into the emblem of the heavenly genealogy.

Even, a belated greeting——

——[Welcome to London, Your Excellency Huai Shi]

At that moment, outside the border, the gray layer blocking the eyes like a curtain was lifted, revealing the only passage, right in front of Huai Shi.

Cold rain fell from the sky.

Amidst the sound of rain, the hustle and bustle of the past could not be heard in the desolate city, and the station, which was once bustling with people, fell into silence and became empty.

Only a few tired staff members remained at their posts.

At the entrance, the leader who had been waiting for a while touched his chest and saluted: "Mr. Huai Shi, I am the secretary who was in contact with your assistant before. Welcome to London."

"Hello, I am Huai Shi."

Huai Shi calmly stretched out her hands to hold each other.

"Are you alone?" The secretary looked behind him, slightly confused: "Are there no other entourages?"

"In special seasons, there are many things to do, and everyone is very busy."

Huaishi spread her hands regretfully: "I am the only one who is free for the time being. Don't worry, the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy has a station in London, and there will be civilian staff to cooperate with me...if they can be busy."

The secretary's expression twitched slightly and he smiled helplessly. He didn't know whether he admired this unabashed sincerity or felt the same busyness and exhaustion.

"The car is ready, please follow me."

He walked ahead and led the way.

A car had already driven out of the rain and stopped in front of the hall.

Carrying them, they drove silently into the gray city in the rain. On both sides of the road, you can still see a few open shops, but basically there are no customers anymore.

Only the teller leaned back in his chair, blowing on the heater and yawning.

It is completely different from the prosperous appearance I saw before.

"It wasn't that dilapidated last time I came here." Huai Shi sighed softly.

"The reconstruction work has just begun. I'm afraid it will take a year or two to restore the old look," the secretary said.

"How long will it rain?"

"It will continue until tonight, and I'm afraid it will continue tomorrow."

The secretary replied: "The Environmental Management Bureau said that there are still too many deep sedimentation residues. Now that we have started to clean up, it is best to clean up more simply. The initial rainfall phase will last for about two weeks, and outdoor operations during this period will be very troublesome."

He shrugged his shoulders and responded to Huai Shi's humor just now, "The only good news is that there are enough umbrellas."

"Yeah, at least there's an umbrella."

Huai Shi nodded.

Leaning on the chair, looking out the window at the city, the silent city seemed to be sleeping on the bed like a patient, breathing silently. Everything was covered with rain and dark clouds.

During the break between rain and strong wind, you can see the layers of dark clouds passing through the sky.

Even above the dark clouds... there are traces hidden behind the celestial phenomena.

That one, a huge crack.

Like a broken glass ball, the winding cracks crawl on the sky, like unhealed wounds, breaking the current blue sky.

And through the refraction of the fault, you can see the surging dark abyss.

The darkness has not gone away.

Taking dance steps, he came towards them step by step.

This is the third day after the end of the War of All Realms, and the All-Realm Conference was held in London.

So tight and tense.

Even though it was expected, it was still caught off guard.

After the war ended as expected, the remaining status quo was so bad that even just looking at the decaying ruins and chaos in front of you almost made people lose the courage to face tomorrow.

The reason why the meeting was held so intensely was not to celebrate victory and share the fruits.

Rather, it is about discussing the survival of tomorrow’s present situation.

This is the first thing Huai Shi faces when he becomes the master of the heavenly lineage.

There is no expected beautiful era with flowers and brocade cooking in flames. There is only a devastated mess and an unprecedentedly bad situation.

Every time I had a headache and was anxious, I seemed to be able to hear the old man Russell laughing happily at his misfortune.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance from the past time, he felt proud.

"What about the promise that the tool man will not harm the tool man?"

Huai Shi sighed helplessly, shook his head, and closed his eyes.

Until the car stopped in front of the hotel.

Along the way, the level of security I saw was extremely tight.

Since the last Rainbow Bridge attack, all suppression of the Grand Mysteries has been cancelled, but has been replaced by an almost outrageous level of surveillance in public places.

The secretary next to him seemed to have come out of his brief trance, shook his head slightly, regained his energy, and opened the car door for him. Just as he was about to say something, Huai Shi pointed to a few people waiting in the lobby not far away. Civilians of the Kingdom Lineage.

"Don't bother with the rest."

He said: "Just give me the room card and schedule, and go do the rest of the work first."

The secretary smiled gratefully and helped Huai Shi complete the check-in and registration with the usual fast efficiency. After connecting with his temporary secretary, he hurried to the station again.

"This is a speech written according to your wishes. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance. Here are some suggestions given by Mr. Isaac, and here are some precautions.

Now you can take a rest in your suite. Later, at lunch time, I have made arrangements of my own accord. There are a few friends of Mr. Russell's who are eager to meet you. I mean, the real kind of friends - —”

The London assistant who had served Russell for decades had already arranged everything in an orderly manner, and all documents and procedures had been processed.

"Thank you for your hard work." Huai Shi thanked her sincerely.

"It's your job."

The slightly older assistant smiled slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door outside the suite.

The assistant frowned slightly, but soon he heard Huai Shi's voice: "Don't be nervous, I'm just a visitor."

The assistant nodded in understanding: "Then go down and prepare tea."

The visitor did not conceal his breath or footsteps, nor could he have any hostility. On this floor, which is specially reserved for the heads of major genealogies, there are only a few people who can visit at will.

And I'm afraid not many people are coming to see me at this juncture.

After the door opened, he saw that familiar face smiling.

"Mr. Huaishi, long time no see."

Huai Shi nodded and smiled equally sincerely: "Please come in, Your Excellency Xuanniiao."

There are no redundant politeness and procedures. Whether it is the cooperation between the Tianguo Lineage and the Eastern Xia Lineage, or the friendship between Huaishi and Xuanniao, these red tapes are enough to be skipped.

After the guests sat on the sofa, the assistant had served tea and snacks, and then thoughtfully closed the door for them.

Huai Shi spoke straightforwardly and asked expectantly: "You came to visit me. Do you have any good news to tell me?"

"..."

Seeing that slightly joking smile, Xuanniao's eyes couldn't help but start to twitch: The people have obviously changed, why is this bastard still so familiar?

"There's no good news, there's a lot of bad news." Xuanniao said, "Otherwise I'm so old, why don't I just sit in my room and wait for you to come to my door?"

"Didn't I just arrive?" Huai Shi spread his hands.

"I didn't expect that everything would change so quickly in just a few days."

Xuanniao sighed softly, looked at his appearance, and suddenly asked: "How is your condition?"

At this moment, any ascendant can see how weak the famous Sword of Disaster, the master of the heavenly lineage, really is.

After losing all the stigmata, only the soul remains for himself.

Use your own efforts to lay the foundation for reshaping the blazing sun.

The hero who saved the current situation from darkness has now lost all his power...

"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine."

Huai Shi smiled nonchalantly: "I still have some asthma occasionally, but I have to get used to it. When the condition recovers in the future, maybe I can start over again."

There was no look of frustration or embarrassment, no haze.

Just like the sun.

Trustworthy.

"You don't have to pretend to be in front of me, do you, Your Excellency Taiyi?" Xuanniao raised his eyes, glanced at him, and sighed meaningfully: "Or...a god on earth?"

Huai Shi remained calm and just smiled.

Let the black bird penetrate and gaze.

But in those dark eyes, the faint rainbow light flowed silently, shining like a treasure, quietly overlooking all the dust.

Already, completely completed...

——[Eye of God]!

Yes, that's right, the last time I met the rancher, the special effect of godfather was triggered again - a man was born in heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time?

Even with just a few clicks of his fingers, Huai Shi plucking out his remaining eyeball...

Not only that, there are also the bones of God, the blood of God, the heart of God, etc.

I gathered everything I could!

Most of them were thrown into the Pillar of Divine Marrow to be used as fuel, but there were some that were inappropriate or that couldn't be burned... Why couldn't he keep them by himself?

And all of this was done under the eyes of all observers in the entire scene, without any cover-up.

It's like a cook packing some water to go home and cook after get off work.

This is impeccable normal wear and tear.

No need to care.

As for Huaishi...

If someone really dares to treat him as an ordinary whiteboard sublimator, it will be fun to watch.

"Do you know what people outside call you now?"

Xuannio glanced at the direction of the window and sighed: "The King of the Sun."

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Huai Shi spread his hands.

Xuannio glanced at him, clicked the cigarette stick, and said nothing.

After the natural enemy Phoenix, another natural enemy was born.

——Natural enemy Taiyi!

The scorching sun that still hangs high in the sky is still demonstrating the great achievements created by this ideal and determination, and it does not tolerate any insult or contempt.

For the current situation, it is a crucial part.

From the perspective of each lineage, this is probably the only natural enemy that is not threatened by the Astronomical Society. At the same time, it may also be the most difficult natural enemy in history.

Marduk, the natural enemy from decades ago, thought he had power, thought he could wrestle with the governing bureau representing the Astronomical Society, and even intended to touch the great secret...

As a result, once the black letter was issued, it experienced the suppression of the Great Mystery, the bombing of the Rainbow Bridge, and finally was wiped out under the spell bomb of the Command Bureau.

But Huai poetry is different.

There is an absolute gap between him and all natural enemies.

He is not a tool of reality, he has become reality itself.

The Great Mystery does not want to be his enemy, because when it comes to authority and responsibilities, he is the real controller of the Great Mystery. The Bifrost was disabled and would not be activated for him.

More importantly, even if the Administration is not on the verge of disintegration now, it will never send a black letter to the secretary of the Utopia and the recorder of the Book of Destiny.

In terms of relationships, he is a member of the Astronomical Society. In terms of character, he is the occupier of the moral high ground that countless telescopes cannot reach. In terms of merit, even if he is not responsible for this feat of recasting the blazing sun, he is still the crucial pioneer.

The One is thus accomplished.

Because of this, he was completely wedged into the pillar of reality, truly integrated with the reality.

He doesn't need modifiers, and he can't be hamstrung by them. Because once this authority is mobilized, Taiyi can be regarded as the reality itself.

Even if Huai Shi returns this power to the present situation, but...who the hell doesn't know that he still has a remote control in his hand?

The miracle of the stigmata derived from Huai Shi's soul, the correction value derived from the Book of Destiny, and even Taiyi's Divine Wedge... Even if Taiyi's main body becomes the present state and must maintain everything, it will never happen. Reject any of his requests and arrangements.

He finished his final sharing.

And what was also shared with him was the entire world.

When this sacrifice and dedication was completed, what Huai Shi lost was his identity as a natural enemy, and what he gained was the honor of coexisting with the current situation.

Sun King?

Such a title is too ridiculous. In Xuanniao's view, as long as Huaishi is willing, he can become the out-and-out master of the present situation as long as he takes a step forward!

No one dared to risk the destruction of the entire world by becoming his enemy.

"You think too highly of me."

Huai Shi understood what he meant, but shook his head helplessly: "In my opinion, I am just the master of the heavenly genealogy, nothing more. I have no intention of stealing the authority of the current situation."

Regardless of whether heroes create the situation or the situation creates the heroes, Huaishi has no intention of going any further now that he has reached this point.

If he is really deceived by the so-called power and desire, and reaches out his hand without knowing what is good, then he will say goodbye to the happy life he pursues forever.

No, if he really pursues power... why is there such a bumpy road?

"I know what you mean and who you are, but the key is not what you want to do, but who you are. Do you understand what I mean, Huai Shi?"

Xuanniiao knocked on the cigarette rod and told him bluntly: "If I were holding the Book of Destiny in my hand, or if you were carrying the Painting Scroll, would we still be able to talk so well together?"

This was the purpose of his proactive visit.

Not only did he inquire about the purpose of Huai Shi on behalf of other genealogies, but at the same time, as a senior and collaborator, even for the sake of that old bastard Russell, he had to "meddle in other people's business" once and give his own advice. .

Don't mess around!

The current situation can no longer withstand any turmoil!

"I understand the truth, please don't worry, Mr. Xuanniao."

Huai Shi didn't show any hesitation or displeasure. She had already expected and determined. She just smiled calmly: "I won't make things difficult for everyone."

"Yeah, never."

Xuanniao sighed and shook his head, suddenly feeling helpless as if he were judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Even though everyone knew it well before this, they still had to ask. The power of life and death in the current situation will never allow any warmth and trust to exist.

Even though everyone knew that Huai Shi was by no means a careerist, he could not be so arrogant as to use this to rise above the current situation. At the same time, everyone also knows that unlike Russell, he will never use any excuse to stab everyone.

But unfortunately, the process that needs to be followed still has to be followed.

The black bird represents more than just Eastern Xia.

What Huai Shi represents is Taiyi who is able to control the current situation.

If things can get a decent result for everyone, then what if it's a little embarrassing? How much does a pound of face cost?

"Have you figured out the terms?" Xuanniiao asked.

Huai Shi said without hesitation: "Besides the only one, is there anything else?"

Xuanniao sighed clearly: "That's right, it's an ideal country."

"Yes, Utopia."

Huai Shi nodded, bid farewell to Xuanniao, and returned to the sofa.

Looking at the rain falling continuously outside the window.

He picked up the untouched tea cup.

Have a light drink.

The tea in the Administration Bureau is as bad as ever.

Even if it is mixed with a fragrance that seems to dominate the world.

Not to the taste.

Why not trade it for a glass of wine?
