Zhang Yi learns from Yang Xinxin about the dangerous, Satan-worshipping Eye organization. He resolves to keep his distance despite receiving a God Essence from them. A plan is formed for Zhang Yi to transport Dai Sheng across the nation to set up spatial coordinates. Zhang Yi travels to Shengjing to pick up Dai Sheng, but remains cautious and waits outside the city. The elite Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, led by Shang Daowen, emerge to greet him.

Shang Daowen smiled lightly and extended a hand behind him. A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd.

He looked utterly ordinary, the kind of face that would disappear in a crowd, save for slightly fairer skin.

"Greetings, Lord Chaos!"

Zhang Yi nodded. "Since you're here, come with me."

"Lord Chaos, please wait!"

Shang Daowen raised a hand to stop Zhang Yi, who was eager to leave.

"I brought all these people because they'll be accompanying you this time!"

Zhang Yi furrowed his brow. "The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits are coming with me? You must be joking."

During the meeting, no one had mentioned these people possessed space-type supernatural powers.

Shang Daowen said, "In the war ahead, they will play an extremely important role! If..."

He paused for a long moment, his expression turning grave.

"If that Gatekeeper of the Underworld truly appears, these people can serve an unexpected purpose."

"So they must accompany you and familiarize themselves with every possible battlefield!"

Zhang Yi was greatly astonished.

The thirty-six before him, though each at Captain-level, ranked quite well among Transcendents.

But Zhang Yi was now a Black Chariot-tier Epsilon-class Transcendent. He simply didn't regard Delta-level Transcendents as anything special.

Aside from rare cases like Yang Xinxin, who possessed an extremely rare type of supernatural power, most combat-type Delta-level Transcendents posed no threat to an Epsilon-class at all.

More people? The outcome would be about the same.

Shang Daowen merely smiled. "You'll understand when the time comes. So please, do us this favor."

Zhang Yi didn't particularly care. He was only responsible for transportation this trip anyway. Bringing a few extra people wouldn't cost him much effort.

Among the crowd, a woman with long black hair and gentle eyes caught sight of Zhang Yi, and a trace of joy surfaced in her gaze.

She lowered her head quietly. The thought of being able to accompany Zhang Yi to Tianshui City and see that man made her heart leap with excitement.

Zhang Yi extended a hand and directly sliced open a massive Dimensional Gate in the air, then said to the group, "Follow closely in my footsteps!"

With that, he stepped into the Dimensional Gate first.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits immediately followed.

The next moment, they emerged from the Dimensional Gate, already four kilometers away.

Zhang Yi continuously opened Dimensional Gates. Using spatial power, he could also help them achieve levitation. In mere moments, they had left Shengjing City.

This extraordinary ability broadened the horizons of all thirty-six of them.

Then Zhang Yi led them first to Snow Dragon City in the Qinling Mountains, a critically important strategic location.

Upon arrival, Dai Sheng immediately raised his right hand. A trace of silver starlight appeared at his fingertip as he traced in midair.

Ripples spread through space with the motion of his fingers, as though some mysterious talisman script were being inscribed into the void.

The entire process took less than two seconds. Dai Sheng then said to Zhang Yi, "Lord Chaos, it's done!"

Zhang Yi watched his entire operation. As a space-type Transcendent himself, he could naturally sense the changes occurring at the spatial node with perfect clarity.

If one weren't a space-type Transcendent, there would be no way to know what had happened at that spatial node.

But Zhang Yi could sense the coordinates there.

Zhang Yi said flatly, "Good. Hurry to the next location. After all, we need to set up over a hundred spatial coordinates across the entire nation."

Zhang Yi opened another Dimensional Gate. The next spatial node was at Wuyou Valley.

Zhang Yi led the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits throughout the journey. Every time they arrived at a place, aside from Dai Sheng inscribing spatial coordinates, the other Transcendents merely observed their surroundings without doing anything extra.

Zhang Yi had been observing all of them the entire time, growing more curious about what Shang Daowen had said.

Even if all thirty-six Captain-level Transcendents combined their strength, could they really affect a Transcendent of the Gatekeeper of the Underworld's caliber?

If it were an ordinary White Chariot, perhaps they'd have a fighting chance.

But considering the terrifying power of the Gatekeeper of the Underworld, Zhang Yi still shook his head, believing it to be impossible.

At most, they could provide some support during battle.

The main group pressed on. With Zhang Yi, their mission efficiency was beyond reproach.

If they'd relied on aircraft, flying back and forth across the nation, it would have taken days to cover over a hundred locations.

But with Zhang Yi, they could complete everything in less than a day.

However, in the Northwest Major Region, at a coal-rich city, a small mishap occurred.

Dai Sheng had just finished inscribing the spatial coordinates, but before they'd gotten far, his expression suddenly changed. "My spatial coordinates disappeared!"

Zhang Yi glanced back at him.

Dai Sheng hurried forward to report, "Lord Chaos, my apologies. The coordinates I just inscribed have vanished for some unknown reason."

Zhang Yi's brow furrowed. "This concerns the future great war. There can be no carelessness whatsoever!"

Dai Sheng's face paled. Though Zhang Yi's tone wasn't especially harsh, facing an existence of this level, any dissatisfied glance from Zhang Yi would fill him with dread.

"It was this subordinate's failure! Could you... give this subordinate another chance?"

Dai Sheng looked at Zhang Yi with a pleading expression, terrified of being punished for wasting Zhang Yi's time.

Zhang Yi said flatly, "Then we'll go back once. This time, do not make any mistakes."

Dai Sheng let out a huge sigh of relief. "Yes, this subordinate will definitely complete the task properly this time!"

Zhang Yi led the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits back. In his heart, however, he thought to himself: Those spatial coordinates, I only need to use a more powerful spatial force to easily destroy them. That way, I won't need to worry about them pulling tricks in the Jiangnan Region. I'm not foolish enough to leave backdoors for others in my own home. Once this incident is over, I'll destroy all the coordinates in Tianshui City.

The one who destroyed those coordinates was naturally Zhang Yi. He just wanted to test whether he could do it, and it turned out to be extremely easy.

Dai Sheng completed the following tasks very smoothly, encountering no further trouble.

The final stop was Tianshui City.

This was also one of the key targets.

Because according to the meeting's conclusions, Tianshui City would inevitably become a primary target of Mist Valley's offensive.

So Dai Sheng carefully left multiple coordinates here to prevent them from being destroyed by enemy space-type Transcendents.

And just as the other Heavenly Spirits were busy observing possible future battlefield environments, a graceful figure walked toward Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi had noticed her presence long ago, but given her special status, it wasn't appropriate for him to go over and greet her.

Now that she had come to him, he couldn't pretend not to see her.

"Isn't this Brother Li Yangyang? Long time no see!"
