Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 520: Situation

After Chen Chuan finished his call with Yan Yi , he went to the side and picked up the box Chen Bitong had given him from the table, opening it to take a look.

Inside was a fist-sized stone with a rough surface that didn't seem remarkable.

He reached out to touch it and found it was delicate and smooth with a warm feeling. After a short time, he felt his Spirit very comfortable, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden and was ready to move forward lightly.

Just touching it brought many benefits. It was clear that this thing had a very good effect on strengthening the Spirit, which was very helpful to him.

But he immediately thought that, according to what Teacher Xue had told him, even if Chen Bitong's Spirit was almost complete, it wasn't truly complete. So, was he really not able to use it, or was there some other reason?

After thinking for a while, he put the thing back. Then he went to the training room, took out a tube of Special drugs, sat down, and swallowed it.

As the Medicinal effects permeated and spread, the Mutated Tissue all over his body became active. This time, he didn't use Second Self to shield himself. Countless noises and external disturbances were transmitted.

But after embarking on the Cultivation path of Spiritual Power, even without using Second Self , he could still easily maintain his mind and not be disturbed by these anomalies.

At this moment, he looked up and saw a crack in the ceiling. The crack was like an opening eye, slowly widening. At the same time, a black, fluorescent, viscous substance seemed to be seeping out from the edges and slowly falling into this world.

He could also see that Central City seemed to be covered with a cocoon-like thin shell. When those things fell on it, they would be blocked. However, some places seemed to have been heavily contaminated, and their color had become deep and turbid, showing signs of being penetrated.

But after a short time, it would be absorbed by a certain Strength and slowly return to its original state. But he also found that the Strength seemed to be somewhat unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

This was likely the protective barrier formed by Yi Mu . Because Yi Mu was about to enter the Splitting phase, such a situation had occurred.

Looking at it this way, when Yi Mu truly began Splitting and reproducing, the situation would definitely become more serious. Teacher Xue said he could judge the approximate time frame, and this must be how.

If he could make this judgment, then others could also make it. At that time, there might really be as many situations as Teacher Xue had said.

He would solve it then.

He didn't think too much about it, but focused on absorbing the Medicinal effects for Cultivation.

He didn't stop his meditation until the evening.

After getting up and washing, he changed his clothes, told Yan Yi , declined her offer to send a car, and went downstairs to drive himself.

Half an hour later, the car slowly entered the Fusion Boundary Company plaza.

As Chen Chuan got out of the car and walked towards the gate, the security guards on both sides stopped and saluted in unison.

Yan Yi was already waiting for him at the entrance of the hall. Seeing him come over, she bowed slightly and led the way. The two of them took the elevator to the president's office on the upper floor of the Building, where Meng Shu , wearing a Fusion Boundary Company president's uniform, was waiting.

Chen Chuan greeted her and glanced behind her. There, a woman with delicate features, gentle and quiet, was standing and smiling at him.

He nodded slightly. This was the Company's Active Consciousness Entity Li Ying . Including the last time he Escorted Meng Shu back to the Company, this was the second time he had seen her.

After the greetings, everyone sat down.

Yan Yi said, "Mr. Chen, the City Government sent a letter today, informing us that Yi Mu is about to enter the breeding period and requires the Company to provide a certain Security guard Strength to cooperate with the Government in the defense of Central City."

She tapped the Boundary Token and sent over a document: "We have checked the Company's records. Fifteen years ago, we cooperated with the Government once, but this time, it may be a little different.

Because a gap may have appeared on the World Ring, judging from the situation in Central City, the reality may be more serious. And our Company has also been deeply Influenced not long ago, so we would like to hear your opinion, Mr. Chen, on what measures we should take this time."

Chen Chuan knew that because Fusion Boundary Company had been invaded by beings from the other side, it might be closely watched.

He said, "In my opinion, precisely because there was a presence from the other side attached in the past, the Company should provide as much Security guard Strength as possible to cooperate with the Government.

And the Company doesn't need to worry too much, because as far as I can see, the existences on the other side do not have mutually involved relationships. Even if other existences from the other side come this time, they will not be drawn to the Company."

He silently added in his heart, "Because there may be a more noteworthy target here."

He looked at Meng Shu and suggested, "I suggest shrinking the Company's Strength. During this time, Meng Shu , you should try not to leave the Company."

Meng Shu nodded gently. This was consistent with Li Ying's judgment. She said, "Then from today, I will stay in the Company and not go back until this period passes."

Chen Chuan said seriously, "You can contact me if there are any situations. If I can come, I will come as soon as possible."

At the same time, inside the Ferris Wheel Corporation, Security guard supervisor Guan Shangjing was frowning at the report.

He had originally prepared a series of plans: as long as the Elephant Gang leader died, the Elephant Gang would fall into infighting, with the two factions fighting each other. Then Tu Liu would lead people to attack the Swordfish Gang, killing most of the core members, and the Swordfish Gang would dominate the entire Luminous Dew District.

And the vital energy-damaged Elephant Gang would not be able to protect Deng Xin , so he could eliminate her easily, achieving two goals with one move.

But the Elephant Gang actually quickly resolved Tu Liu , pushed Tu Nai to become the new gang leader, and even swallowed their anger. The Swordfish Gang's preparations were in vain.

And from the news that was passed out, the target from the Processing Bureau intervened in this matter, leading to the failure. Even Deng Xin was sent to the Processing Bureau, which made anything he did later meaningless.

He threw the report on the desk, crossed his fingers, and his eyes were deep.

"It seems that we have to wait until that day to settle the score…"

He looked up at the light screen on the side. On the left were rows of to-do items, and on the right, the directors were holding an internal meeting, which had been going on for five hours.

This Board of Directors meeting was the fourth one this month, mainly arguing about the Company's direction in the next stage. But time was running out, so there should be a result this time.

Just as he was thinking, the meeting time counter on the screen stopped, indicating that the meeting should be over.

At this time, a gentle and kind female voice came from the Boundary Token: "Guan Shang supervisor , Director Yingwei invites you to the Jia-level Hikan Pavilion. There is a Company mission that needs to be assigned to Guan Shang supervisor ."

Guan Shangjing got up from his seat. He left the office and entered the dedicated elevator opposite. The words on the screen flickered, and when the word "Jia" was displayed at the top, the elevator doors opened to both sides, revealing a high and wide flower garden.

Two deep-red Hikan trees came into view in the room, and rows of golden fluorescent grass lamps hung above. Underneath was a path paved with white pebbles.

He took off his shoes, stepped on the path, and slowly walked around the screen. He saw an old man, about fifty or sixty years old, with a serious face and a large build, sitting upright on a couch.

He was wearing a spacious silk ancient costume with a deep Outer Ocean style, with an old-fashioned Martial Artist hairstyle, and two symmetrical Embedded lines on his face. Not far from his hand, on a knife rack, were two delicate, slightly curved knives, one long and one short.

He walked to the old man and bowed, "Director Yingwei ."

Director Yingwei said, "The Board of Directors has finally made a decision to implement the "Spring Formation Plan'."

Guan Shangjing raised his head, "The Company has made up its mind?"

"The Union has been stationed in the Company for more than a hundred days, but their assessment of us has not given a clear reply, and there is no conclusion on what stage the progress has reached. Their meaning is very clear." Director Yingwei looked at Guan Shangjing , "They are waiting for us to make a decision that meets their wishes."

Guan Shangjing slowly straightened up and said in a deep voice, "It seems that what they need is that thing. They have a big appetite. Director Yingwei , if we do it, then our Ferris Wheel will bear the risk."

He looked at the opposite side, "If we don't get an accurate promise, do we have to comply with their will?"

"In the current situation, we have no way to retreat."

Director Yingwei said in a deep voice.

"Sea Dragon Company and Oceanic Development Group are taking advantage of our concentration of Strength in Central City to stir up conflicts between various Outer Ocean countries and our Company. Now many countries cannot withstand the pressure and have begun to waver. The Company's business has been greatly Influenced."

As he spoke, Guan Shangjing saw on the light screen behind him that the Company's outposts on various islands in the Outer Ocean had many red warning signs.

"The decision-making team has analyzed that such a situation will not stop from the moment we decided to join the Union, and it will continue to last.

When we embark on this path, the Company cannot turn back. We can only succeed, not fail! Guan Shang supervisor , I ask you to strengthen your resolve!"

Guan Shangjing solemnly bowed, "Yes, I understand!"

Director Yingwei nodded heavily, "Because we are being closely watched by all parties in Central City, we cannot use the Company's people and Strength. How is the manpower you recruited some time ago prepared?"

Guan Shangjing raised his head and said, "Bian Yue Yizhen of Wave Pavilion, and Ye Jianhong of Peace and Radiance Hall, they have both officially declined my invitation and should not be coming.

But Senior Brother Gong Ying has accepted my invitation. He will come here to serve the Company, and with him, there is also a large group of disciple recruited from Wind Forest Pavilion."

Director Yingwei said, "Gong Ying Changxiu , Wind Forest Pavilion's senior disciple , I have long heard of his great name. It is enough to have the Wind Forest Pavilion disciple he leads. Very good, Guan Shang supervisor , I hope you can coordinate this matter well!"
