Xu Ran: "..."

He heard the words of the cultivators and couldn't help but frown.

It seems that the situation in Jing City is not particularly good. After all, it's been 272 days since the heavens shattered and pollution descended. If the Celestial Summit Pavilion hadn't delayed for time, by this moment, the Supreme God would have descended.

Blue Star would then be facing a catastrophic crisis.

But fortunately, the Celestial Summit Pavilion has bought them some time.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time for Xu Ran.

"Let's rest for a night before returning to Jing City."

It was already midnight, and Xu Ran was extremely tired. The headmaster and the others were already fast asleep, so it was impossible to wake them up.

Moreover.

Even if they returned to the park, it would still take another two hours.

So, Xu Ran bought a simple set of clothes on the street and headed to the accommodation at the Service Bureau.

In the dead of night.

The Sixth Safe Zone was brilliantly lit, as if it would blaze with flames. This was a human habitation, with warm and welcoming lights, and Xu Ran's tense nerves immediately relaxed.

He took a deep breath of air from the safe zone.

"Not as fresh as before... It's probably due to the broken gap in the heavens."

"After a while, I'll make this place fresher."

Xu Ran wore paper clothes, like armor, walking down the street. The Time Gem, concealed under a Concealing Treasure Talisman, did not attract much attention.

He arrived at the hotel of the Service Bureau and took out his badge.

"The badge has no energy left, but it can still symbolize my identity for a night's stay."

Upon seeing the Special Commander's badge,

the receptionist raised an eyebrow, then nodded and handed Xu Ran a room card.

"Sir, your room card, on the ninth floor, Suite No. 06."

"Alright. Thank you."

Xu Ran took the elevator upstairs, entered the suite, and took a cold shower to wash off the dust of travel.

In the living room.

The boy's hair was wet because it had just been trimmed haphazardly in the Contaminated Area, making it appear a bit unkempt. But no matter the hairstyle, it couldn't hide the boy's handsome and striking features.

At this moment.

The boy wore a crimson tight-fitting martial suit, with a strong back and slender waist, his figure tall and heroic. His eyes were bright and captivating, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Going downstairs.

The receptionist looked at the boy in surprise.

Was this the armored officer from earlier?

How could he be so young and so handsome?

She was momentarily stunned.

But Xu Ran had already strode into the cafeteria and ordered a set meal.

The carefully cooked meat pieces were chewed and swallowed, bringing a warm sense of reality that delighted his spirit, even making his soul tremble slightly.

"So wonderful."

Xu Ran picked up the Spring Spirit Milk and drank it all in one gulp.

He couldn't help but recall Tiger Girl's words.

"Spring Spirit Milk, delicious!"

He used to think food wasn't so tasty, but after over 270 days of training in the Contaminated Area, tasting human food once again, he finally understood Tiger Girl's unique perspective.

People who love food are truly wise!

After eating.

Xu Ran returned to the suite, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for two days and two nights straight.

On the 3557th day of his youth, at six in the morning, Xu Ran woke up.

The tension, hostility, and filth on a spiritual level had been mostly cleared away.

"Going home."

Xu Ran jumped out of bed.

Carrying the Time Gem, he checked out of the suite.

Then left the Sixth Safe Zone.

He passed through the super gate.

On the other side of the gate was home.

However.

When Xu Ran returned to Blue Star, he saw the blue sky had become completely polluted...

The sky was shrouded in a gray haze, reminiscent of the black smoke emitted from factories, amassing together, turning the green mountains and clear waters turbid.

The trees along the roadside, their once lush green leaves had turned yellow, visibly harmed by pollution. If left longer, they could turn into dead trees.

Xu Ran frowned tightly.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, a deep sense of anger surged in his heart.

He knew that humans and exotic star creatures were eternal adversaries. Under the shadow of pollution, humans had no viable space for survival.

"Thankfully, I learned the conversion altar. Mere pollution isn't even a hundredth as severe as a secondary Contaminated Area, and there are ways to deal with it."

Xu Ran was grateful for this round of training.

If he hadn't trained, he wouldn't have been able to purify this pollution; relying on talismans would have been too tedious.

Relying on the Array Altar was the real solution.

"Once I get back, I'll set up the altar."

A 64-pillar altar, he could handle it. The materials, however, would require the Celestial Summit Pavilion to find, needing high-quality minerals, which wasn't difficult.

Mass-producing Super Tier weapons, extracting minerals for crafting Super Tier weapons was even easier.

On the Shen Zhou Continent, setting up altars in large numbers would sufficiently decompose the pollution, even the remnants from two hundred years ago, it could decompose!

Soon enough, Shen Zhou would once again become a pure land.

An even purer land.

Xu Ran arrived at the square.

"Where's the dedicated vehicle? Where's the dedicated vehicle?"

An outside guard of the square said: "Sorry, because the Godslaying Squad and students from major cultivation schools are all on missions in Jing City, the dedicated vehicles are somewhat insufficient."

Xu Ran: "..."

He originally wanted to reveal his special identity to get his own dedicated vehicle.

After thinking it over, he gave up.

Xu Ran took out his badge.

"Officer?"

How could the guard not recognize such a badge, the textures and decorations were so high-end. One look and it was clear it was a Special Commander badge.

He hurried over, unable to resist showing respect.

"Is there a delivery truck?"

"Can get one!"

"I need this stone sent to Demigod Kindergarten, have the headmaster sign for it."

"No problem. I'll notify my superior immediately."

"Alright."
