Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Between Xu Xingguang and Ying Huai, Ying Zhongmei lay almost the entire Medicine King Mountain Range.

After a long and tiring journey, it was only by this evening that Xu Xingguang was escorted by the staff to the foot of Cattle Hump Mountain.

The so-called Cattle Hump is not a single peak, but a range of mountains, with the tallest one among them being Cattle Hump. Her escort was an older woman, a civilian, whose attitude towards her was fairly gentle.

Knowing that Xu Xingguang could understand their language, the older woman stood at the foot of the mountain, pointed to the second tallest peak in the range, and said to Xu Xingguang, ”This range of mountains is Cattle Hump. There is only one small town on Cattle Hump called Wuyuan Town, located on that mountain. You just need to take the apprenticeship note and register at Wuyuan Town.”

At the foot of the mountain, there was an outdoor bus station where several buses were parked, specifically shuttling between the small town and the mountain foot. The older woman escorted Xu Xingguang onto the bus, then left.

The bus was an unmanned intelligent vehicle. Fifteen minutes after Xu Xingguang got on, no one else boarded. The bus closed the doors, reminded passengers to fasten their seat belts, and then carried Xu Xingguang to the town.

The bus traveled quickly, and after just a few minutes, it stopped in front of the small town.

After getting off the bus, Xu Xingguang stood in front of the town’s archway, stared in a daze at the words [Wuyuan Town] on the archway for a moment, then took the apprenticeship note and walked into the town.

As soon as she entered the town, the guards at the town exit noticed her. Xu Xingguang took out the apprenticeship note to confirm her identity, after which the guards led her to the town office for registration.

Half an hour later, she left the office wearing a small wristwatch and headed to the town’s dormitory building. Upon reaching the door of room 520 on the fifth floor, Xu Xingguang opened the door using the small wristwatch.

The dormitory in the town was quite spacious, more than three times the size of the hotel she stayed in the previous night in Medicine King City.

The dorm had a bedroom, a small living room, and a study, but no kitchen.

Because everyone in the Divine Martial Realm ate nutrients, few families would prepare a kitchen.

Do people here gather around, each holding a nutrient to drink?

After taking a shower, Xu Xingguang sat in the study and opened the world map book she borrowed from the town office. When the book was opened, a world map was projected into the air.

The entire world was shaped like an oval multiplied countless times over, like a soybean. On the world map, there were five super landmasses.

These were the Central Yu Continent, the Divine Hidden Continent, the East Ocean Continent, and two areas marked in gray-black as ’Infected Zone 1’ and ’Infected Zone 2’.

In the Mortal World, almost no one knew about the existence of the Divine Martial Realm. But within the Divine Martial Realm, everyone was aware of the Infected Zones.

Among the five major landmasses, the Central Yu Continent was the largest, generally appearing like an oval leaf. To the right of the Central Yu Continent was the Divine Hidden Continent, resembling a drifting bottle.

The East Ocean Continent was to the left of the Central Yu Continent, and its shape resembled a war flag flying in the wind.

A vast body of water named Divine Martial Sea connected the three continents, and one part of the sea appeared black, known as the Black Sea.

The Black Sea led to Infected Zone 1 and Infected Zone 2.

Between Infected Zone 1 and Infected Zone 2, there was another stretch of ocean called the Divine Hidden Sea.

Xu Xingguang closely examined the 3D map, realizing that the five major landmasses were surrounded by the same sea.

Thus, Xu Xingguang could finally confirm that the Divine Martial Realm and the Mortal World were indeed the same world.

It’s just that this world has been divided by Super Power Users using their formidable energy, creating a barrier that split the sea into the Divine Hidden Sea and the Divine Martial Sea.

Xu Xingguang closed her eyes, her mind conjuring up an image of this world from two thousand years ago.

Back then, the technological advancement of this world was similar to the current Mortal World, and their space ships had captured the appearance of the entire globe.

In that era, ninety percent of the world’s population lived in Infected Zone 1 and Infected Zone 2, and the three continents that form the current Divine Martial Realm were then considered wild lands but were rich in rare metal mines.

Back then, countries waged wars over the ownership of these three landmasses.

In her past life as Lin Piaopiao, Xu Xingguang led the Lin Family Army across the seas to land on the Central Yu Continent, planting the flag of the Divine Xia Country on the highest peak of the continent.

At that time, the entire Central Yu Continent was a territory under the influence of the Divine Xia Country.

Who knew that after her death, the world order would have shifted so dramatically.

Two thousand years ago, she was the Female War God who conquered these lands. Two thousand years later, she had become a mere intern on this vast continent.

Xu Xingguang felt a bit conflicted in her heart.

She tapped her fingers on the table.

She recognized Medicine King Ying Chong, who used to be just an army doctor with the National Defense Army, timid and always avoided looking her in the eye. She once accidentally saw Ying Chong teaching himself traditional medicine and pointed him in the right direction a few times, after which Ying Chong would often ask her about medical problems.

Xu Xingguang was practically his mentor to some extent.

However, Ying Chong turned out to have ill intentions, took a crooked path, and was expelled from the army by her.

Who would have thought he would also become a Super Power User and eventually the belief of the entire Central State Alliance.

”Ha,” Xu Xingguang chuckled in confusion. In her past life as Lin Piaopiao, she was undefeated and made enemies kneel and call her queen wherever she went. So, why was there no one worshiping her?

Early the next morning, Xu Xingguang went to the office to collect nutrients. There was a public AI system in the office; she put on special glasses, accessed the AI, and searched for ’Lin Piaopiao from the Divine Xia Country’ and similar terms.

In a blink, information about Lin Piaopiao popped up.

Guess what she saw?

She saw a headline that read——

[In-depth Discussion: Why is the Legendary Female War God Lin Piaopiao still topping the Eastern Alliance’s most-wanted slaughter list over two thousand years after her battle death?]

Xu Xingguang: ?

Did she read that right?

When Xu Xingguang clicked on the link, a video popped up.

In the video, a young man wearing a black T-shirt, glasses, and with an ordinary appearance, sat earnestly and seriously discussing the connection between Lin Piaopiao and the Eastern Alliance.

After watching the video, Xu Xingguang realized that in the Divine Martial Realm, the Divine Hidden Continent had the most abundant resources, followed by the Central Yu Continent, and the East Ocean Continent had the least resources.

This situation arose because the predecessor of the Eastern Alliance was the Ancient O Continent Countries.

Back then, to seize control of the three landmasses, Lin Piaopiao led her army to defeat the Ancient O Continent Countries’ forces, making them flee like a beaten dog.

Therefore, during the great migration of humans, Ancient O had no right to compete with the Divine Xia Country for the resource-rich Divine Hidden Continent.

The nations of the Eastern Alliance loathed Lin Piaopiao bitterly.

The young man concluded: [The Eastern Alliance’s hatred for Lin Piaopiao runs deep. It is reported that the Divine Concealment Emperor Exhibition Hall forbids visits from Eastern Alliance tourists for fear they would destroy the wedding attire of the Divine Hidden Emperor and Empress as revenge.]

The emperor and empress’s wedding attire...

Wait, when did she become the Empress of the Divine Xia Country?

After her death, what nonsense did Divine Hidden Crane spread to the outside world?
