I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Old Six.

The only person that Shen Zheqi could refer to with this name is none other than one.

That is Li Shutong’s sixth disciple, Shen Zheqi’s long-lost sixth junior brother, Zuo Xuan!

Sixth junior brother Zuo Xuan was responsible for the Sixth War Zone before the Great Calamity struck Great Xia, specifically tasked with defending the borders of Great Xia.

Besides, among all the senior and junior brothers, Shen Zheqi and Zuo Xuan had the best relationship.

After the outbreak of the Deep Blue Calamity, the border of Great Xia fell earlier than expected, and since then, there has been no news of the sixth junior brother Zuo Xuan and the seventh junior brother Yuwen Zhong.

No matter how much they inquired, and searched through the Celestial Net, they could not find a trace of them.

The two of them seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Shen Zheqi had often wondered whether the sixth and seventh junior brothers had already died in that calamity.

Therefore, today, when he saw his sixth junior brother Zuo Xuan appear before him, he was understandably shocked.

”Where did you go after that disaster in Great Xia?” Shen Zheqi asked after a moment of silence.

Zuo Xuan pointed to one side of his cheek, ”Isn’t the answer obvious now?”

”That’s impossible,” Shen Zheqi instinctively denied, ”The main forces of the four major powers were held back by the forward war zones. According to the plan that the teacher had left us beforehand, you and Old Qi were supposed to reach North County ahead of us!”

Before the outbreak of the Deep Blue Calamity, Li Shutong had already made arrangements for their retreat.

As their teacher, how could he possibly abandon his students?

Zuo Xuan and Yuwen Zhong, although one was on the border and the other outside other powers, they were the most likely to escape from the maelstrom.

If Zuo Xuan and Yuwen Zhong had successfully retreated to North County, along with Shen Zheqi’s fully equipped Fourth War Zone, and Lin Jingxuan, Wei Qing, Han Zhan.

With this strength, when Great Xia initially retreated to North County, things wouldn’t have been so difficult, with personnel management stretched thin.

What unexpected event happened?

That caused the Sixth War Zone of Zuo Xuan and the Seventh War Zone of Yuwen Zhong to mysteriously disappear without a trace?

”It was a man calling himself ’Dawn.’”

In response to Shen Zheqi’s inquiry, Zuo Xuan provided the answer.

”He wore a black hood and carried a tattered sack, but inside that sack, there seemed to be an endless array of treasures.”

Even to this day, when recalling the scene, Zuo Xuan’s eyes still showed shock and disbelief.

”He single-handedly annihilated my Sixth War Zone.”

”And then, I was captured by the Longevity Company and taken back to their headquarters.”

Dawn, it was Dawn again.

Shen Zheqi had heard this name more than once from his youngest junior brother Han Zhan.

Strangely, the things he did were both good and evil, benevolent and malevolent, making it impossible to fathom his true intentions.

But one thing is certain, without his efforts, the four major powers would not have so easily decided to strike against Great Xia.

Dawn was like an invisible hand hidden behind the scenes, pushing everyone toward a predetermined outcome.

”I saw Yuwen Zhong at the headquarters of the Longevity Company.”

Zuo Xuan’s last words thoroughly shattered Shen Zheqi’s fantasies, and his fists involuntarily clenched tighter.

”Old Qi, he...”

”He died,” Zuo Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, ”After all, war is not politics, and injecting the Deformation Potion isn’t like drinking or solving problems with smooth talk or a pretty face.”

”Yuwen Zhong was not as strong as me, and the Deformation Potion’s transformation caused severe rejection in his body, ultimately leading to his body exploding into a mist of blood.”

When Zuo Xuan spoke here, his beast-like eyes shimmered strangely after his transformation.

What Yuwen Zhong experienced was also what he had gone through.

Anyone who recalls such unbearable pain cannot help but be affected.

Shen Zheqi swallowed heavily.

War is like this, there are always casualties, and everyone has only one life. Whether it’s a legion commander or an ordinary person, their essence is no different.

”Now everything is getting better, we...” Shen Zheqi attempted to change the subject to lighten the heavy atmosphere.

”I know.” Zuo Xuan interrupted him, ”Great Xia has now recaptured lost territories, won two successive battles, expanded its territory several times, and become the foremost superpower on Blue Star.”

”However.”

Zuo Xuan shifted his tone. ”It’s too late.”

”No one can stop the great Lord Frog, his plan is destined to succeed!”

When Shen Zheqi heard this, his pupils dilated in incredulity and anger. ”Zuo Xuan, do you know what you’re saying?!”

”You are a Great Xia person, you are the commander of the Sixth War Zone, how could you—”

”I am the former commander, the former Great Xia person.” Zuo Xuan unhesitatingly interrupted Shen Zheqi again.

As he spoke, he pulled his clothes apart, revealing his upper body.

His upper body was entirely covered in dark green Exotic Beast skin, with symmetrical spines and markings, not something a human could possess.

”It is too late,” he said.

”Do you know what a Deformation Potion is?”

”The Deformation Potion is a special potion that can alter your genetic makeup, fusing you with powerful alien race cells, evolving you into other alien beings. It can change your appearance, personality, and even your species!”

”I can’t go back anymore.”

When Zuo Xuan said this, there was not a trace of despondency on his face; he even grinned, revealing a set of sharp beastlike teeth.

”Don’t you want to know the truth about the sacrifice?”

”As a former good brother, I can tell you.”

When Shen Zheqi heard those three words ”good brother,” his expression darkened further.

Zuo Xuan, undeterred, continued:

”The Dream Realm is a world of spiritual consciousness.”

”We often say we dream, and anything can happen in a dream because spiritual consciousness can satisfy all of our imaginations effortlessly.”

”Unfortunately, spiritual consciousness is ethereal. Even Dream Demon Frog, who excels in this field, only managed to absorb a mere hair’s worth of spiritual consciousness energy to achieve Tier Nine Peak.”

”Desire is the only key that connects to the Dream Realm, and all creatures drawn into the Dream Realm have their desires ’extract’ the spiritual consciousness energy unique to the Dream Realm, forming small black beads.”

”These beads are the ’materials’ for the sacrifice!”

”And all the mutant walkers of the Longevity Company have already entered the Dream Realm to engrave the most basic array patterns.”

”As long as the beads are released in reverse, it can channel the spiritual consciousness energy extracted by desire into the Grand Array, awaiting Lord Frog to absorb it all, completing the transcendence of the Dream Path!”

This is the entire process of the sacrifice.
