Ding Huaiyi confronted Liang Yuan, underestimating him due to his perceived death and the military's recent advancements. He attempted to recruit Liang Yuan and Yangshan, but Liang Yuan recognized the ploy and refused. A battle ensued, with Liang Yuan easily overpowering Ding Huaiyi's spiritual attacks and shattering his defenses with a single punch. While celebrating, Liang Yuan warned Li Qinghua of a potential underwater infiltration by the military, prompting defensive measures.
A significant number of soldiers had already made their escape from the exploding submersible in a state of sheer panic. Liang Yuan observed individuals emerging from the spatial rift within the Mirage Snake Space in the distance. It was evident that they had indeed managed to breach the spatial barrier of the Mirage Snake Space. Had Liang Yuan not alerted Li Qinghua, who was in control of the Mirage Snake Space's positioning and form, it was highly probable that all these individuals would have infiltrated it. However, with the abrupt relocation of the Mirage Snake Space, the ingress point these people were utilizing was instantly severed. Undoubtedly, some may have already met their demise within the spatial rift itself. Witnessing the retreating soldiers, Liang Yuan shifted his form and proceeded to intercept the submarines. Liang Yuan conducted a sweep of the surroundings, actively searching for Ding Huaiyi's presence. Nevertheless, Ding Huaiyi was nowhere to be seen; it appeared he had already made his escape. "You can flee from the monk, but you cannot flee from the temple. Guangfu Military District, hah!" Liang Yuan let out a cold chuckle, his form flickered, and he erupted from beneath the water's surface. Having returned to the icy expanse, Liang Yuan began to concentrate his efforts on eliminating adversaries whose primary attributes surpassed ninety points. Yet, even among the Three Great Sects and the military forces, those exceeding ninety points were a rarity. At such a level of primary attributes, individuals had already ascended to become upper-mid-tier figures within their respective factions. Consequently, among the current adversaries, apart from the leaders with scores above ninety who had been vanquished or driven off by Liang Yuan earlier, the remaining combatants predominantly hovered between eighty and ninety points. These opponents were far from being negligible; in the entirety of Yangshan, aside from Liang Yuan himself, only Li Qinghua possessed combat capabilities exceeding eighty points. Therefore, Liang Yuan still bore the responsibility of overseeing the overall situation. With Liang Yuan's current combat strength, dispatching enemies was as effortless as sipping water. "Ah—!" Another expert from the Spiritual Ability Sect met a grim end on the spot. As Liang Yuan's gaze swept over the scene, the enemies below began to scatter in retreat. "It was the more capable ones who had the foresight to flee first." "Conversely, those lower-tier superpower users, unaware that their leaders had perished or absconded, foolishly pressed onward towards Yangshan." Liang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head; individuals at the lower echelons faced a more arduous struggle in dictating their own fates. This reality was starkly observable from the unfolding battlefield. His resolve hardened to conquer Guangfu, to unify all of Linjiang City, and to establish a formidable super shelter. Only through such a unified front could they then venture outward, locate additional shelters, and extend their rescue to more individuals. Most crucially, he aimed to consolidate everyone's collective strength to furnish him with an immense quantity of points for accelerated progression. Simultaneously, he intended to unravel the mysteries behind this cataclysmic flood. The oppressive dark clouds overhead had yet to dissipate. Amidst the flashing thunderbolts, there had to be something extraordinary at play. It remained uncertain whether, upon surpassing 100 points in his primary attributes and advancing his Genetic Map to the intermediate tier, he would be capable of enduring the formidable lightning that raged within the clouds. Liang Yuan cast a profound gaze upon the battlefield. The remnants of the Three Great Sects were in full retreat, while the military soldiers were being apprehended. Everything was unfolding precisely as he had foreseen. An hour later, the engagement had completely concluded. The ice layer in the vicinity of Yangshan had been shattered and collapsed by artillery fire. The formerly frozen water surface was now dotted with numerous floating corpses. Attracted by the scent of demise, several mutant fish began to surface in succession. The inhabitants of Yangshan Shelter certainly did not exhibit any hesitation; they promptly swarmed the riverbanks to commence the capture of these mutant fish. It was imperative to recognize that winter had arrived, and sustenance in the mountains had grown exceedingly scarce. A multitude of animals had entered hibernation, and some had even retreated into subterranean burrows. With the river's surface frozen over, even the act of fishing had become a considerable challenge. Thus, they naturally seized this opportune moment for fishing. Liang Yuan issued instructions to Zhao Kai and the others to recommence the construction of the Ice Wall and to conduct a thorough inspection for any potential escaped aquatic life in the surrounding area. This particular night was undeniably destined to be one without rest. Liang Yuan retreated to the Leader's Mansion to convene a meeting with his key subordinates. "Mr. Liang, in this engagement, we eliminated nearly a hundred adversaries, sustained fifty casualties, and incurred over a hundred injuries." "As per your directives, we prioritized capturing the enemy whenever feasible, while ensuring our own safety." Liang Yuan offered a slight nod. "See that the injured receive immediate medical attention; the points and merits earned shall be bestowed upon the families of the deceased." "For those without kin, meticulously record their names and places of origin; should their families be located in the future, they shall be entitled to inherit these assets." A collective wave of emotion stirred among everyone present. Zhao Kai couldn't help but remark, "Brother Liang, rest assured, we will handle these matters with the utmost diligence." "Hmm, I entrust this task to you."

4Mr. Liang, this time we captured close to five hundred people, seized a large number of equipment, and it’s all quality equipment,4 Tu Long said excitedly.

Liang Yuan nodded, instructing: 4Send samples of the equipment to the research department, let Professor Li and his team replicate them as soon as possible.4

Tu Long immediately responded: 4Already sent them over at the first opportunity, and these captured people have been put on energy-sealing handcuffs, yet considering some among them are quite strong, we plan to let them serve here at Yangshan.4

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and stated: 4That’s a suitable arrangement.4

Since there are too many women, children, and elders in the Mirage Snake Space, and considering some among those captured are strong, they cannot be sent there due to potential risks.

Instead, permitting them to labor at Yangshan, undertaking mining or other tasks, can gradually tame them.

4Mr. Liang, what should we do next?4 asked Han Xiangman.

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: 4Rest for a couple of days; I’m going to Guangfu personally!4

4Mr. Liang, are you going to Guangfu?4 Tu Long immediately grew excited and quickly inquired, 4I’ll go with you!4

Zhao Kai, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but add, 4I’ll go too!4

4The people from the Three Great Sects have bullied us time and again at our doorstep, it’s time for us to strike back.4

Everyone was getting excited.

4Zhao Kai is right, it’s time for us to pay them back and teach them a lesson!4

4Damn it, I’m going too. They’ve killed so many of our brothers, we must make some of them pay with their lives so they understand the pain!4

Cheng Zhanpeng, Gao Li, and others shouted in agreement.

Liang Yuan looked at everyone and shook his head slightly, stating: 4Not for now, Yangshan just went through a major battle and needs you all to hold down the fort.4

4This time, I’ll go and settle the score first.4

4If possible, I’ll deal with the Three Great Sects myself.4

Everyone’s spirits lifted, and Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say, 4Brother Liang, the Three Great Sects must have many experts, especially the Water God Sect and the Earth Mother Sect, both have their own floating islands. You must be careful.4

Liang Yuan smiled and said, 4Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.4

Now all his attributes have already reached 100 points, which is the limit for the initial tier of the genetic map.

To advance further, he must first undergo gene recombination to simulate the genetic map information and successfully unlock the middle tier of the genetic map.

Only then can he break the 100-point limit.

However, according to the genetic inheritance information, gene recombination is not simple.

It contains significant risks; a slight mistake could even result in genetic collapse or genetic chaos.

But for Liang Yuan, this is not a significant problem.

Firstly, he possesses very few miscellaneous genes in his body since he hasn’t consumed any mutated beast meat since the great flood began.

Therefore, he hasn’t absorbed any miscellaneous genes.

Moreover, his [Hundred-Change Demon Ape] genetic species was directly exchanged from the system with points, which means its purity is almost one hundred percent Hundred-Change Demon Ape gene.

Thus, for Liang Yuan to break through to the middle tier of gene, it is actually not too difficult for him.

Liang Yuan plans to initiate the breakthrough on the journey to the Guangfu Military District.

4Fortunately, I also reminded Ding Yan and the others about this earlier. When they break through to the middle tier of the genetic map in the future and undergo gene recombination, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.4

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan felt secretly relieved, grateful for his foresight.

After conferring with everyone, Liang Yuan arranged some follow-up tasks, then adjourned the meeting and returned home.

Upon his arrival home, Yang Mei was already back, but Song Wen, Ding Yan, and Dong Yan were still outside managing the aftermath.

Seeing Liang Yuan, Yang Mei quickly walked over and inquired, 4Is everything done?4

Liang Yuan smiled and replied, 4Pretty much, I’ve left it all to Zhao Kai and the others.4

4Were you frightened today?4

4No, those people didn’t reach the Fire Bamboo Forest; I didn’t even see the enemy,4 Yang Mei laughed.

4By the way, I’ve set aside some food for you; I’ll bring it out.4

Liang Yuan reached out to hold her back and said, 4No rush; it’s rare for just the two of us to be here.4

Yang Mei blushed slightly and stated, 4Let’s eat and talk.4

She brought the food out and asked, 4So many people have died in this great flood; why do the survivors still hurt each other?4

Sitting beside Liang Yuan, watching him eat, she couldn’t help but ask with a sigh.

Liang Yuan gave a slight shake of his head. "Wherever there are people, conflict is inevitable."

"Even if only two or three individuals are present, they can still bicker over various issues."

"Now, not only does our Yangshan possess abundant superpower ore veins, but Qinghua also has a spatial floating island. This single floating island is enough to attract countless envious gazes."

"Alas, life is already arduous enough, yet we are still forced to kill each other like this."

Yang Mei let out a sigh.

Her compassionate nature naturally led to such sentiments.

Even when Li Zhiqiang had bullied her in the past, the most she did in her anger was to leave home rather than seek retribution.

Liang Yuan stated gravely, "Throughout history, the general trend of the world dictates that what has been divided for a long time must unite, and what has been united for a long time must divide."

"Currently, in the aftermath of the great flood, unrest prevails, and fear grips everyone."

"People are not only contending with a harsh survival environment but also assaults from various mutated beasts."

"We must swiftly bring order to this chaos and unite all under one banner to usher in an era of peace for everyone."

Yang Mei looked at him, inquiring, "Do you intend to be the one to unify this chaos?"

Liang Yuan nodded, meeting Yang Mei's gaze. "Indeed. If I do not strive for it, then someone else will unify Yangshan."

"At that point, I might be able to protect you and a select few, but I may not be able to safeguard everyone."

"Therefore, I must be the one holding the ultimate authority."

Yang Mei could not help but express her concern. "Are you planning to go to Guangfu?"

"Yes, Guangfu represents the most significant 'tumor'. So many people reside there, and despite the advantageous terrain, the military stationed there remains inactive. They have been utterly incapable of managing the situation thus far."

"The Three Great Sects operate with impunity, leading to the deaths of countless innocent individuals."

"If they are unable to accomplish this task, then I shall personally see it through."

"But... that's the military..." Yang Mei interjected hesitantly.

People still harbored a sense of apprehension towards the military, as it represented the former official authority.

Liang Yuan, fully comprehending Yang Mei's apprehension, simply offered a smile.

"Following the great flood, this world has long since descended into a state of anarchy."

"The future belongs to those who wield superpowers; only those possessing true strength have the right to assert their will."
