89: Nuclear Cleansing Demon Land Fourteen Hours

Zhang Sheng transformed into a beam of rainbow light, tearing through the vast sky,

in an instant, he had crossed thousands of miles and returned to the heart of Huaxia.

The upcoming plan required the full support of the Huaxia military.

And the only one who could provide key assistance was Dean Hou Wu.

The Dean of the War God Academy, overall person-in-charge of the Sequence Members Project, and Vice Principal of First Cultivation University was currently sitting behind his large desk.

Zhang Sheng gave a concise report on the tragic situation in India.

"Zhang Sheng, thanks to you." Hou Wu's voice carried obvious exhaustion as he rubbed his brow. "Otherwise, Xiaotian and the others... the consequences would be unthinkable."

He looked up, his gaze still sharp beneath his graying hair. "The geostationary satellites above Huaxia have all been reset, the communication network is mostly clear, and order is being restored.

All of this is thanks to you. As for India... that disaster is beyond imagination. You're right, the number of Divine Breath Realm Beasts must be contained!"

However, the condition of the powerful Dean before him was worrying.

He looked haggard, his spiritual energy aura was weak, and his Realm surprisingly seemed stuck at the second layer of the Qi Sea Realm, completely lacking the majestic vitality a Cultivator should possess.

"Dean," Zhang Sheng got straight to the point, "I have a plan that requires the military's full support."

...Hou Wu's pupils constricted, and astonishment appeared on his face. "Zhang Sheng, this is no small matter! Although... things are different now, wanting to mobilize it is by no means easy!" He stood up abruptly,

"Come, I'll take you to see someone. Only he can give you an answer."

Hou Wu led Zhang Sheng toward an elevator deep within the office building.

He entered a long and complex password on the floor buttons. The elevator vibrated slightly and began to descend rapidly.

"Floor -28!"

The cold numbers lit up on the panel. The elevator came to a halt, but the doors did not open immediately.

Hou Wu stepped forward and performed a triple verification of fingerprints, iris, and voiceprint in sequence.

Only then did the heavy alloy door slide open silently.

Before them was a wide and deep corridor. The matte metal walls emitted a cold luster.

At the end of the corridor, two guards stood like statues before a giant alloy door. They exuded the pressure of the Divine Breath Realm, and their gazes swept over like lightning.

"This is one of the underground command nodes of the Central War Zone. Your information clearance has already been entered, so don't worry." Hou Wu signaled Zhang Sheng to follow.

The alloy gate opened silently before them.

Behind the door was a massive command center.

Giant display screens occupied all four walls, with dense streams of military data refreshing in real-time like waterfalls. Several personnel in crisp military uniforms were focused on processing the flow of information before them.

They noticed Hou Wu and Zhang Sheng's arrival; their gazes met briefly with no surprise, clearly having expected Zhang Sheng's presence.

Hou Wu did not stop, leading Zhang Sheng straight through the hall toward an inconspicuous room at the innermost side.

The door was slightly ajar.

Inside the room, a tall, thin middle-aged man, as slender as bamboo, stood with his back to the door, staring at a giant dynamic strategic map on the wall.

He stood upright like a drawn bow ready to fire, his well-groomed black hair meticulously combed back.

"Zhang Sheng, this is Principal Wang Huasheng, the Principal of First Cultivation University and also the Commander-in-Chief of our Central War Zone," Hou Wu introduced.

The man turned around at the sound.

His face was lean, and his complexion was slightly pale from living underground for a long time.

But those eyes were exceptionally bright and sharp, as if they could pierce through one's heart, carrying the steadiness of one who had long held a high position and the wisdom of seeing through everything.

Zhang Sheng bowed slightly. "Hello, Principal Wang."

"Young man, no need for formalities." Wang Huasheng's voice was calm yet possessed its own power. "I have long wanted to meet you, but unfortunately, the Opportunity had not yet arrived.

Hou Wu brought you here, so there must be something urgent? Sit down and tell me."

His attitude was much more approachable than expected.

Zhang Sheng laid out his plan clearly and in detail.

Wang Huasheng listened quietly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Times have changed. Secret Realms, Yao Beasts, cultivation civilization, Talent Awakening... these new things are reshaping the world with the force of a mountain collapse or a tsunami." His gaze pierced through Zhang Sheng, as if seeing into a distant future,

"A new era requires new strength and a new spirit. The thoughts of us from the 'old era' can sometimes become your shackles instead."

He paused, his gaze refocusing on Zhang Sheng with a heavy expectation:

"Therefore, we have always watched your growth but didn't dare to interfere too much. Because I believe the banner of the new era will eventually be carried by you!

We are also willing to trust you young people without reservation!"

"Nuclear bombs are not a problem! Positioning Systems are even less of a problem!" Wang Huasheng's tone was resolute,

"Huaxia's 'Eye of the Sky' has long covered the globe with centimeter-level precision! Triple locking with inertial guidance, terrain matching, and star guidance ensures nothing goes wrong!"

"The time is set for August 17th, which is tomorrow early morning, from 3:00 to 3:15. Twenty to thirty 'clean' nuclear bombs will precisely cover all known Secret Realm core areas in India!"

"The yield of thirty nuclear bombs is just a drop in the bucket compared to Huaxia's stockpile." He shifted the topic, his gaze suddenly becoming incredibly serious, even carrying a hint of unquestionable concern,

"But Zhang Sheng, whether the plan succeeds is secondary! My only requirement is—you must come back alive!"

"You are still young, but you must remember!" Wang Huasheng's voice was low and powerful, every word carrying immense weight,

"Your life does not belong only to yourself!"

Zhang Sheng's heart jolted.

He hadn't expected such an earth-shattering plan to receive such direct and firm support from Principal Wang.

"Principal Wang, Dean Hou, thank you for your trust!" Zhang Sheng suppressed the waves in his heart and stood up resolutely,

"Time is tight; I will depart immediately!"

Leaving the deep underground command center, Zhang Sheng looked up at the sky.

It was currently one in the afternoon. Only fourteen hours remained until the fate-deciding nuclear explosion.

The spirit wings vibrated silently behind his back, and majestic spiritual energy gushed out once again.

He transformed into a brilliant beam of rainbow light that tore through the sky, shooting toward the direction of India!

In the command room, Wang Huasheng and Hou Wu's gazes fell on the materials Zhang Sheng left behind; the atmosphere was heavy.

"Hou Wu, our enemy... is more terrifying than expected," Wang Huasheng said in a deep voice.

"Indeed," Hou Wu's expression was grim. "Rather than Yao Beasts, it's more like an entire lurking civilization.

The Parasitic God Insect Emperor's 'parasitic' ability must be raised to the highest alert level! As for Lu Zhuo's side..."

"Little Lu has probably been working around the clock these past few days." Wang Huasheng chimed in, his brow furrowed,

"What I'm thinking of is another more direct threat."

"Nuclear weapons?" Hou Wu's eyes sharpened.

"It seems we are thinking the same thing." Wang Huasheng tapped his fingertips on the table,

"Once the Parasitic God Insect Emperor controls the decision-making cores of other nuclear-armed nations and launches a nuclear strike against us..."

"The consequences would be unthinkable!" Hou Wu's voice carried a chill. "Although our space-based defenses and communication networks have been restored, the abilities of Awakened ones are strange and unpredictable, making them impossible to guard against!

Fortunately, Zhang Sheng acted decisively and cleared out a large number of Divine Breath Realm Swift Dragons capable of high-altitude penetration; otherwise, if they carried bombs for high-altitude drops, it would be a disaster!"

Wang Huasheng paced to the strategic map, his gaze sweeping over it like a falcon. "These Yao Beasts intend to replace human civilization; perhaps they would be wary of causing excessive damage to the planet... What they want to destroy is humanity, not Earth itself."

HeSuddenly turned around,A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "But we absolutely cannot gamble on their rationality! We must be wary of them being driven to desperation!"

"So, the top priority is..." Hou Wu immediately understood.

"Immediately initiate the 'Smelting Furnace' contingency plan!" Wang Huasheng said resolutely. "At all costs, control or destroy the nuclear arsenals of other nations that are at risk globally!

At the same time, activate the highest level of national defense System to respond to any possible nuclear strike!"

Orders were swiftly issued.

An invisible secret war centered around humanity's ultimate weapons quietly began... Above the second Blue-level Secret Realm in India.

Zhang Sheng's figure descended like a deity, hovering in the firmament.

The terrifying spiritual energy pressure erupted without reservation, sweeping in all directions like a physical storm!

Buzz—!

A dark gold long spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The spear was nine feet and nine inches long, its body engraved with ancient and mysterious runes,

its weight of three thousand three hundred catties felt light as a feather in Zhang Sheng's hands, yet it emitted a sharpness and heavy killing intent that seemed to tear through the void.

He looked down at the Secret Realm entrance below, a cold arc curling at the corners of his mouth.

"The feast of slaughter... officially begins!"
