Chapter 788 - A Battle of Endurance (1/2)

Truth Department Headquarters.

Ren Ruofeng hummed a tune as he returned to his office, completely ignoring the strange gazes his colleagues were casting him.

His daughter had not only grown up so fast, she had even made some good friends.

The Whitestone people that planted the herbs were honest folk, so he did not have to worry about them being wicked.

Chong Daqing and the old ginseng are quite cute too, not to mention the Zhao family that lived there help her with homework a lot too. In conclusion, living in the Draconic Arcane Realm did not mean that she would not be able to socialize with other humans, thus causing her to closed off socially.

From the looks of things, there really was nothing he needed to worry about in the future.

The Draconic Arcane Realm was probably the safest place on Earth, no, in the entire universe.

Right as he sat down in his office chair, Administrative Secretary Liu came knocking on his door.

“Advisor, Director Hu has called for an emergency meeting. It’ll be held in 5 minutes, at the large conference room.”

“Oh, I’ll be right there.” Ren Ruofeng glanced at the time; it was five in the afternoon, almost time to get off work.

Previously, he had gone to see his daughter because he was on a business trip. After leaving the Land of Sanguinity, he had gone to see Chong Daqing and had begged the insect to bring him into the Draconic Arcane Realm.

He oversaw all the information the Truth Department received, so he naturally knew that Chong Daqing had an ability like that.

However, he never expected that he would have to stay late at work upon returning. It seemed that he indeed needed to return the time he used to take a break…

He packed up his materials, picked up a notebook before proceeding towards the large conference room on the same floor.

Once he entered upon pushing the door, he was faced with a group of old men that were seated waiting for him.

“Hey, Oldman Ren, are you enjoying the spring breeze? Why do you look so happy?” joked Principal Xu.

Ren Ruofeng restrained himself before he brushed it off, “It’s nothing. My work has been progressing well recently, so of course I would be happy.”

“Oh, is that so? From your expression, it seems like someone’s welcomed a new baby in their house…” said Hong Yunjiao coldly.

‘Ugh, how does this old hag always make such accurate guesses?’

Ren Ruofeng felt a headache coming on, so he could only ignore her before sitting down on his seat.

“Okay, since everyone’s arrived, I’ll start the meeting earlier.” Director Hu was seated at the head of the table. He was a stubborn old man, and he spoke with a few knocks on the table.

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent.

“The current situation has undergone changes. The Gods and Buddhas of the Upper Realm are starting to descend. The chaos of the past two years seem to really be just small-scale skirmishes. Everyone, please look towards the big screen.”

As Director Hu spoke, he pointed a finger at the big screen opposite him. An image of Vigilante A fighting Golden Armored Deity immediately appeared on the screen.

A clerk that was seated at the side of the room had already begun taking meeting minutes.

“The Golden Armored Deity’s attack pattern is extremely formidable. According to Nets Above Snares Below’s post-battle analysis, Golden Armored Deity’s Power Level is already at the limit of this world, so it means that they can defeat all our current defenses; even our formations and treasures… Can’t stop them,” said Director Hu solemnly.

Ren Ruofeng nodded his head. ‘It’s no wonder this old fart wanted to call this meeting, the current situation now is extremely dangerous.’

They had long expected something like this, which was why they proposed then heavily focused on the Tripartite Defense of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Humans.

However, the truth was that this defense plan of theirs that was implemented early was still too weak when faced with a real enemy.

Fortunately, they still had a tall guy sustaining things…

Director Hu continued speaking.

“The Golden Armored Deity converts light into attacks; these attacks are extremely fast, accurate, and deadly, with no weaknesses to exploit as well. Furthermore, these attacks can attack groups or go against a single target. As expected of a divine-level being. A regular person might only see that the Golden Armored Deity was subdued by the Venerable Dragon God using a single move, but that person would never realize that if Venerable Dragon God were swapped out for someone else, that person would be long dead.
