Piyue City Fortress is located on the northeastern border and is taken over by the Fourth Army.

The heavy snow is as sharp as a knife.

The energy boat landed in front of the fortress city gate. The city gate had already been opened. The senior generals of the Fourth Army gathered here and came out of the city to greet them.

A young figure wearing a cloak stood at the front.

Five figures came down from the energy boat one after another.

The leader is none other than Rusty Bones.

The tip of the bronze scabbard poked into the snow, making a dull sound.

The generals of the Fourth Army knelt on the ground one after another.

"Lord Rustybone."

The young figure at the front looked a little confused. Since yesterday, he had noticed something strange about General Rusty Bones. He had given the Kirigakure cloak to him inexplicably... Then he said he was going to Central City, and now he has launched a legion. An internal summons order ordered all fourth-level and above extraordinary beings within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Legion to come to the Piyue City Fortress to assemble.

After the end of the Red War.

The Fourth Army Corps is scattered and stationed in the border areas. There has never been such a large formation!

"south wind."

Rusty Bones stretched out his palm and gently patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder, his eyes full of softness and relief.

Every time the world restarts.

He will go to see His Majesty...

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

Xiugu knew that Gu Nanfeng would leave Beizhou soon.

"If we do it again, we will definitely let Gu Nanfeng stay in Beizhou and inherit his legacy."

These were the words that Xi Gu thought about and kept on his lips after Gu Nanfeng left.

But now that he really had another chance, he didn't do it.

Every time he restarted, he respected Gu Nanfeng's choice and let him go.

he knows.

In the next ten years or so, Gu Nanfeng will have a very hard time because of this decision, but no matter what... CN021 will always be his most proud disciple.

"What's going on here?"

Gu Nanfeng whispered: "Everyone is very nervous. We also heard that you had some conflicts with the commander of the Survey Corps."

Beizhou is very big, and Beizhou is also very small.

How can we hide what happened in Central City from them?

"It's just a discussion."

Rusty Bones smiled and said: "I went to see His Majesty... I have summoned you here to announce something important."

His expression became solemn and he ordered: "Nanfeng, from now on you need to lead people to evacuate the residents in the surrounding areas and bring them to other livable cities...At the same time, send people to blockade the Piyue City Fortress."

Gu Nanfeng's eyes were a little confused, but he immediately agreed without any hesitation.

"……yes!"

He looked at the figures behind General Rusty Bones, and vaguely felt that one figure looked very familiar.

The old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit and a dragon-headed staff.

When he left Dongzhou...

Met once.

"The Grand Adjudicator of Dongzhou, a native of Zhou Ji."

Of course, Xiugu knew his keen disciple. He spoke calmly and introduced the people behind him: "These three are his disciples, Tiantong Luo'er, Zhong Wei... and Gu Shen."

Gu Nanfeng nodded slightly, as if he had seen it before.

His eyes paused on the youngest boy.

For some reason, he always felt...

This young man gave himself a different feeling, which he couldn't explain.

It's like I've seen it somewhere.

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

This was the first time he saw "CN021".

Although it was just a polite meeting now, at this moment, Gu Nanfeng had a wooden sword at his waist, his cloak was fluttering in the wind, and his movements were filled with overflowing high spirits.

After being with a person for a long time, you will ignore his changes... In total, he and Gu Nanfeng have been friends for nearly ten years.

Gu Shen thought of the meeting with Nanfeng not long ago. Gu Nanfeng, who inherited the position of head of the family, had worked hard day and night, and his youthful and frivolous temperament had been washed away by the years. Even his temples could be vaguely glimpsed with a hint of gray. color.

"Gu Shen..."

Gu Nanfeng whispered Gu Shen's name.

He took the initiative to reach out his hand and said with a soft smile: "What a coincidence, my surname is also Gu."

"Really? That's really a coincidence..."

Gu Shen shook hands with Gu Nanfeng. He could see that Gu Nanfeng wanted to talk to him more.

But he didn't talk and continued the conversation.

As an outsider, I intervened and restarted, and the trajectory of the world has changed.

In order to successfully complete the task of "breaking the restart", he does not want to change too much from the original trajectory.

So Gu Shen hurriedly ended the conversation with Gu Nanfeng.

Several people entered the fortress and came to the main boat of General Rusty Bones.

Rusty Bones has already ordered people to shut down the 【Deep Sea] network inside the main ship... According to the time of restarting the world, there are still several years before the [Deep Sea】 rebellion, but this spiritual network was established twenty years ago. It's no longer safe.

…

…

This meeting is of great significance.

Gu Shen gathered together the outsiders who came to this restarted world, and also brought complete information about the restarted world and the five continents world to Rusty Bones, who was in a confused state.

"According to what you said, the Beizhou border is currently under attack by the traveler tribe."

Xiugu rubbed his eyebrows and gathered his thoughts.

He first asked about the situation in Wuzhou: "Your Majesty is trapped in a bitter battle at the Tower of Origin... Our only hope at present is for Mengxizhou to completely smelt the fire and then become a god?"

Because of being plotted by 【Deep Sea】...

He came here out of nowhere.

When Rusty Bones was exiled, he had already vaguely felt that something was not good, but he did not expect that after he left, Wuzhou would cause such a big disturbance!

"Click."

The general clutched the bronze sword tightly.

As the top border general, being absent from such an important war is really the biggest dereliction of duty in life!

He could not wait to rush back to the border immediately and kill all the travelers!

As Rusty Bones' violent emotions overflowed, the bronze sword in a state of being beaten to the ground emitted bursts of dark annihilation light... The power emanating from the sword alone made Luo Er and Zhou Jiren feel palpitated.

This is the "power of destruction" that transcends the upper limit of mortal power!

But apart from heart palpitations, what this moment brings to everyone is peace of mind.

The rusty bone general with such power is their ally!

"……yes."

Gu Shen saw that Xiugu was in a state of panic.

But in the current situation, there is no point in being anxious.

He consoled him in a broad voice: "Mr. Rusty Bones, the current situation in Wuzhou is indeed tense, but it is not as bad as you think."

Both White Lizard and Silver Fox were plotted by 【Deep Sea】 and their bodies were taken away.

"If we can leave here and rush back to Wuzhou...it's still not too late."

Gu Shen spoke sincerely and said: "The war will end with our arrival. As for the 'White Lizard' and the 'Silver Fox', their spirits must be stored in a certain closed sea area by the 【Deep Sea】. This disaster brings The damage that comes may not be that serious.”

After saying these words.

There was silence in the main boat for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards.

It was a hoarse, self-deprecating laugh.

"ha……"

Rusty Bones let out a faint breath.

"Gu Shen..."

He stared at the young man and spoke slowly: "Do you know that these restarts actually made me feel a ray of happiness deep in my heart?"

Gu Shen was stunned for a second.

"If I hadn't been negligent, if I could have been more cautious..."

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

The three generals have experienced countless wars in Beizhou together, and have reached the top together from the Red War. The bond between the three of them is stronger than gold and iron. After killing the white lizard with their own hands, they learned from Gu Shen about the death of the silver fox. information.

Xiugu's heart was hard to calm down for a while.

Beizhou's peace had been stable for thirty years, but he suffered such a heavy blow once he was careless.

He subconsciously placed all the responsibility on himself.

The most painful thing in the world is powerlessness.

But what if we "do it again"?

Right now, Rusty Bones saw hope.

In these few restarts, he has been trying to save the world in his own way...even if he believes in his heart that everything here is false.

He would still meet with His Majesty, report information, take off his cloak, and give it to the young man he admired most.

"..."

Zhou Ji people Luo Er were silent. They could understand Xi Gu's mood.

Because what they did in the beginning was the same as Rusty Bones.

"The world here can be restarted. Every time there is a bad ending, we can start over."

Gu Shen was silent for a few seconds, raised his bright eyes, and suddenly asked: "But what about the outside world?"

Rusty Bones looked into the young man's eyes.

Gu Shen hasn't lit the fire yet.

But these eyes are brighter than thousands of fires in the world.

He couldn't look straight.

"The outside world will not restart. If it is destroyed, it is truly destroyed... Those things you want to protect, the fortress, old friends, and people, will not have a second chance to come back."

Gu Shen said calmly: "So we have to leave here."

Xiugu stared at Gu Shen silently.

"So...what do we do?"

"First, leave Wuzhou."

Gu Shen spoke very quickly and calmly: "It will take a year for the Piyue City Fortress to appear. We don't have this time to wait any longer... There must be some major logical loophole in this restarted world. Don't forget The 'common ground' we all have in common to get here."

Everyone left the Five Continents and entered the 【Old World】 before they could reach here!

"If you want to trigger a logic vulnerability, you must do it in the 【Old World】?"

Rusty Bone's eyes lit up with a gleam of light.

"That's right!"

Gu Shen said solemnly: "So...my suggestion is to take the energy boat and leave from Beizhou Fortress now, immediately, immediately!"

"But……"

Luo Er frowned and raised a very important question: "The old world is so big, how should we go?"

"It's not a big problem... We need to leave from the Kubao Fortress."

Gu Shen stretched out two fingers, tapped his forehead lightly, and said seriously: "As for the route after entering the old world... I have a complete map here."
