Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 532: Sky Rift

April 22nd, 12:17 AM, multiple Company Resonance Technicians and their hired Resonators began to continuously invade the Government's platform to probe for information.

On the Central City Government side, a large number of Resonators also countered, engaging in a fierce energy field defense war.

However, even without Yi Mu's energy field to borrow, the Government, relying on absolute resources and home-field advantage, still maintained the situation.

It's just that the energy field's offense and defense caused a large amount of energy field communication resources to be occupied, resulting in intermittent holes in many places on the light curtain, representing that the energy field signal was temporarily lost there for a period of time, and there was no complete monitoring.

The female assistant then placed her hand on the Boundary Token, as if listening to something. After a while, she looked up and said, "Commissioner, the Government Affairs Hall is requesting the Ministry of Defense to deploy more inactive consciousness bodies."

Commissioner Liang said, "It's not time yet, reject their application."

This was only Yi Mu's first Splitting, far from the most uncontrollable moment. This batch of spare inactive consciousness was to be used at the most critical moment.

Because the various Companies were currently only probing, and no one had sent anyone to snatch them, only an hour later, the emergency Response Teams in each area found and recovered the first wave of Split Offspring without any personnel being deployed.

The Watchtower's voice then sounded, "After confirmation, the first wave of Split Offspring have all been captured, none missing."

Upon hearing this news, the expressions of the people in the command hall relaxed slightly. After all, this was a good start.

Commissioner Liang still had that serious expression, because he knew that it was far from time to relax. In the beginning, Yi Mu's Split Offspring were relatively few, only single digits.

Moreover, Central City had anticipated the most likely locations for them to appear, and coupled with the lack of major obstacles, they were able to act quickly.

But the next steps would be different. As the waves increased, the number of sub-bodies of the Mother Split would gradually increase, and the number of places that could not be taken care of would increase, inevitably becoming increasingly uncontrollable. It could be said that the later it got, the more chaotic it would become.

Another thing that needed attention was that when Yi Mu was in the Splitting breeding period, even if the Split Offspring were recovered one by one, the world Fissures that spread out as a result would not disappear.

Thus, they would have to arrange a certain number of personnel or guards near each Fissure, which would also dilute their Strength.

And once some Companies and forces collected enough data, they would definitely take the opportunity to seize the Split Offspring, and that would be a real hard battle.

At this moment, an internal clerk walked up to him, gave a salute, and handed over a document.

Commissioner Liang took it and looked at it. It was a report issued by "Watchtower", estimating that the third wave of Split Offspring would reach more than twenty, and subsequently increase in waves.

This was unavoidable. In order to reduce concentrated and excessively violent changes, after modulation, the original large Split Offspring were turned into a larger number of relatively small individuals, but the increase in quantity also brought another trouble, that is, the recovery was relatively cumbersome and difficult.

He thought to himself, hoping that the preparations he had made before could cope with the situation.

An hour and a half passed quickly, and the time came to 1:39 AM. Yi Mu performed the second Splitting at this time, this time reaching nine Split Offspring. Watchtower immediately accurately gave the locations and estimated recovery time.

This time was still relatively smooth. The outer Field data battle was still in progress, but the frequency of offense and defense was significantly reduced compared to before.

This was not because the other side had given up, but because the Companies and groups that were probing had gradually mastered the information they needed. After all, in addition to stealing information, the eyes and ears of various forces arranged in various regions could also obtain information through manual observation.

At 2:20, the second wave of recovery ended.

Commissioner Liang then rubbed the corners of his eyes on both sides of his nose, and then he saw the female assistant handing over a cup of tea. He thanked her and took it.

He glanced at the countdown above. The third wave was at 3:25.

He said in a deep voice, "In the third wave, Yi Mu will enter a turbulent phase, the outer energy field will completely fail, and those little tricks will also emerge." He took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you feel anything on your side?"

The female assistant shook her head.

Commissioner Liang looked at the steam on the teacup and said slowly, "It seems to be hidden very deep. We need to be patient too."

On the Sea surface of Luminous Dew DistrictPort, a ship that was in the offshore area was docking.

Gong Ying Changxiu and a group of Wind Forest Pavilion disciples held their Long Swords at their waists, standing on the deck of the ship, with cloud light like sunset in the background, and the sea breeze blowing their Martial Combat ancient costumes.

Gong Ying Changxiu closed his eyes and felt it. At this time, his Spirit became gradually active. After he had been to Ghost Gate, now he was going to try to step through Heavenly Gate.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Guan Shang, a duel is waiting for me, we will part here."

Guan Shangjing bowed deeply to Gong Ying Changxiu: "Senior Brother Gong Ying, please."

Gong Ying Changxiu turned around and solemnly returned a salute, then took the accompanying Wind Forest Pavilion disciples off the ship, and boarded the vehicles already prepared on the dock to drive towards the Central City area.

At this time, in the Xi Hui Opera House, Astrid put on a knight's armor and hung the special attack tools prepared in advance on her body.

This set of equipment was prepared for her by Bolun Company. Whether it was armor or Weapon, all of them were made of special materials, which could perfectly fit her abilities.

While she was checking, a voice came from behind.

"Astrid…"

Astrid turned around and looked over.

A woman in black armor leaned against the pillar, she had black hair and black eyes. This was Sieglinde, the actress who played the female knight in the drama. Although she was also in armor, she did not make a sound when she arrived.

She said, "Astrid, the Company asked me to cooperate with you, I will be your pursuer."

"Sieglinde, can I trust you?" Astrid looked at her black eyes and said, "After all, we have fought so many times, I can't even count them."

"Of course, who else can you trust besides me?" Sieglinde showed a playful smile.

Astrid smiled slightly, she picked up the helmet placed on the table, put it on her head, and joked, "Knights can't be trusted, but I am a shepherdess."

Saying that, she raised her hand and pressed down the mask.

Then she picked up the spear leaning on the table, gently turned it, and with a click, it shrunk into a short gun and inserted it behind her.

"Okay, everything is ready."

She took a few steps forward, reached out, and slapped Sieglinde, "Sieglinde, we should go." Then she walked out with the sound of footsteps.

Sieglinde turned around, silently looked at her a few times, put on her helmet, and followed.

An hour passed quickly, and Yi Mu's third Splitting arrived as scheduled.

This time, it was very different from before. The movement shown was extremely large. First, slight earthquakes occurred in various areas of Central City, and then the cracks in the sky suddenly expanded, adding tree-like gaps extending outwards.

Powder-like crystal red objects rustled down at the edges, as if the entire sky had become a mirror about to shatter.

As this state continued to be maintained, even more lightning-like light emerged from it, and with a rumbling vibration, it overflowed to the surroundings, and within that Fissure, something seemed to be coming over.

Chen Chuan, who was in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

In that instant just now, he felt his Spirit touched a world.

He immediately understood.

Havenly Gate… opened!

He, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately activated the Bright Reflection Method, and immediately a wisp of cool things infiltrated into his Spirit, but at the same time, it seemed that an inexplicable infection also followed in.

He knew that was the Impurity from Beyond the Heavens that Teacher Xue said.

This required him to absorb the essence while resolving and expelling it.

But doing so undoubtedly distracted his Spirit. If he could concentrate on it, the efficiency would be greatly improved.

At the moment, he tried to let Second Self bear it, and in just a moment, a faint fading phenomenon appeared on Second Self, and he himself was no longer infected.

But then he felt that there was still a layer of obstruction above, blocking more of the essence from coming.

It was like a little bit leaking down from the hourglass, and like a trickle, even if he could ignore the infection inside, he still needed to spend more energy to search.

To change this situation, he could only push his Spirit upwards, as Teacher Xue told him.

He slowly raised the Snow Emperor Blade in his hand.

Only by constantly fighting can he raise his Spirit and let it leave traces deep enough on the other side.

But what he had to do was more than that, he wanted to take this opportunity to let Second Self also climb to Third Limit.

In this way, the Merge of the two would not only increase combat power, but Spiritual Power would undoubtedly be more abundant.

So, the next step is to find a strong enough opponent.

Inside the command center, this time the atmosphere was much tenser than last time, because multiple emergency forces encountered obstacles at the same time, and engaged in firefights with unknown forces, with no smooth progress.

Although they could use the advantages of communication to transfer nearby teams to provide support, this situation still made the situation uncertain.

At this time, Watchtower suddenly issued a warning: "Report, a large area of Fissure was detected in the offshore area of Ocean Abundance District, and it is continuing to expand."

"Offshore area?"

Commissioner Liang's expression froze, and he immediately instructed, "Send the picture back."

The light curtain flickered, showing a beach, with waves surging on the distant Sea surface, but now there was a vast Fissure there. The mist in the Fissure made the opposite side unable to see clearly, but a rumbling sound was vaguely heard.

That seemed to be… thunder?

As the mist gradually receded, vague figures appeared inside, and as these figures advanced, the mist finally completely dissipated, and everyone finally saw clearly, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Those were cavalrymen holding spears and wearing armor, and in the formation were fluttering flags like forests. At a glance, it was unknown how many there were.

"This is… the Old Imperial Family's Sharp Armor Cavalry!"
