The various factions were studying the recording of the aurora. Someone had recorded it rather clearly. An aurora streaked across the sky and pierced through the Tower of God.
Then, the Tower of God seemed to be instantly heated up, producing a terrifying high temperature that turned the entire Tower of God into red-hot iron.
Then, the tower collapsed. The entire Tower of God collapsed, and the explosion produced a powerful shockwave that destroyed everything within a radius of ten kilometers. It was as though the end of the world had arrived.
Xia Liuchuan was dumbfounded as he said after a while, "That's the Tower of Babel. How many people want to clear the Tower of Babel? Even a Terror-grade expert won't be able to return. Yet, it was destroyed just like that?"
"The strength of that aurora should be comparable to the strength of a Calamity-grade creature. However, it doesn't look like a skill of a Calamity-grade creature. It's more like a beam weapon fired by humans," Zhang Chunqiu said after some thought with a strange expression.
"No way. Can humans create a weapon of that level?" Xia Liuchuan was in disbelief.
"Who knows?" Zhang Chunqiu wasn't sure either.
The entire world was discussing the origins of the aurora. At the same time, many people cast suspicious gazes at the An family in Luoyang.
The League of Defender was pursuing An Tianzuo with all its might, but at this moment, the Tower of God had been bombed. This was too much of a coincidence.
However, people were very suspicious if An Tianzuo really had that much power. Even someone as powerful as the four Combat Gods couldn't have such powerful strength.
Furthermore, An Tianzuo wasn't near the Tower of God at all. He was far away on Mount Laojun.
However, soon, more suspicious points appeared. As Luoyang was closely monitored by various factions, someone discovered that An Sheng had led a group of people and escorted a behemoth into Luoyang.
It wasn't strange for him to escort something into Luoyang, but at the critical moment of life and death in Luoyang, An Sheng, who was loyal to the An family, wasn't in Luoyang. Furthermore, after investigation, they realized that the path he took back was very likely in the direction of the Tower of God.
What was even more suspicious was that someone had discovered traces of Holy Pirate in the desert. The An family didn't seem to have caught Holy Pirate at all.
Everything was pointed at the An family, but no one dared to touch them. Even the League of Defender, which had suffered a huge loss, didn't act rashly.
Even the spies of the various major factions in Luoyang were ordered to temporarily withdraw. Many of the plans targeting the An family were temporarily put on hold.
No one wanted such a terrifying attack to fall on their own home. Even a place like the Skysplit Tower had been destroyed. If it was their home, no one dared to imagine what the consequences would be.
For a moment, the An family became a scourge, and everyone's expression changed at the mention of it. Before confirming whether or not the An Clan could still use such terrifying power, it was estimated that no one would dare to forcefully attack the An Clan.
However, many people tried to investigate the Ann family, trying to find out the source of the aurora.
However, this was the best outcome that An Tianzuo wanted. At least no one dared to hurt his family anymore.
An Sheng returned to An Tianzuo's side.
"Overseer, fortunately, we didn't disappoint you and successfully completed the mission." An Sheng led a group of soldiers to report to An Tianzuo.
"Does it feel good?" An Tianzuo asked with a smile.
"Great," An Sheng answered.
"Did you enjoy it?" An Tianzuo asked again.
"Satisfying," all the soldiers who participated in this operation answered loudly.
"That's good. In the future, if anyone pisses us off, we'll have a good time. All the members who participated in this operation will be awarded the Three Star Setting Sun Medal. Their military ranks will be raised by one rank … "An Tianzuo rewarded the members who participated in the operation, as well as all the members of the Sunset Army.
During the period of An Tianzuo's tactical retreat from Luoyang, there wasn't any chaos. All the troops who stayed behind without knowing anything did their jobs and didn't cause any major changes in Luoyang.
Li Mobai, who had always been a headache to An Tianzuo, had helped stabilize the situation in Luoyang during this period of time. This surprised An Tianzuo.
An Tianzuo originally wanted to take this opportunity to purge Luoyang's interior. Li Mobai was his greatest threat, but he never expected that Li Mobai had no intention of taking advantage of the chaos to occupy Luoyang.
"That was close." Li Xuan had been staying in the Li family the entire time. When he heard the news of An Tianzuo's return, he felt relieved.
He wasn't worried about An Tianzuo, but glad that Li Mobai hadn't taken the opportunity to forcefully occupy Luoyang during this period of time.
Li Mobai glanced at Li Xuan contemptuously. "To think that you are so close to the An family. You can't even see through such a small trick. What great things can you do?"
"I'm not someone who does great things." Li Xuan shrugged indifferently.
However, he was indeed impressed by Li Mobai. He knew very well how much Li Mobai wished for the Li family to replace the An family as the king of Luoyang. However, in the face of such a great temptation, Li Mobai had actually seen through An Tianzuo's intentions. Furthermore, he firmly believed that An Tianzuo could return. This was indeed not something ordinary people would dare to do.
Not long after An Sheng returned, he went to look for Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen had also seen the video online. He had long guessed that it was An Sheng's doing. Furthermore, he had already guessed what had emitted the aurora.
Back then, An Sheng had taken him to see the huge compression accelerator, but Zhou Wen never expected it to be so terrifying. The might of that strike was something even Zhou Wen didn't dare take head-on. It was probably comparable to the strength of a Calamity-grade entity.
An Sheng didn't hide it from Zhou Wen and told him the entire story.
"Young Master Wen, the Overseer didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that this operation was too risky. The fewer people who know, the better. If someone notices that something is amiss, we won't be able to lure Cave Era and the others over. It's actually very difficult to launch the accelerator at that distance without being discovered by Cave Era and the others," An Sheng explained.
Zhou Wen didn't mind. He nodded and said, "It's indeed very risky. Not only did you lure Cave Era over, but you also lured the people from the Holy Temple over."
An Sheng smiled and said, "Actually, Chancellor Leng was nearby. As long as the Overseer sends a signal, he will come over to rescue us."
Zhou Wen wasn't surprised. This was An Tianzuo's style. There was no reason for him to take such a huge risk without making any preparations.
"However, although the Overseer didn't say it, I can tell that he's very touched by your help at the critical moment," An Sheng said.
"I just don't want anything to happen to Sis Lan and the others. It has nothing to do with him," Zhou Wen said.
An Sheng smiled and said, "We're all family. There's no need to make things so clear."
After a pause, An Sheng said with a bitter expression, "However, this blast has wiped out the An family's years of savings. It's not an exaggeration to say that we've returned to our pre-liberation state overnight. In the future, we'll have to tighten our belts."
Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. "Does that thing consume so many resources?"
"It's not just huge. It should be said that it's terrifying. If there aren't a large number of unexpected resources, it's impossible for a second blast to happen in the next few years," An Sheng said.
"Aren't you afraid that the League of Defender will take revenge during this period of time?" Zhou Wen said with a bitter smile.
"That depends on if they have the guts to gamble. The Overseer said that they don't have the guts to gamble." An Sheng looked very relaxed as he said to Zhou Wen, "However, the Overseer said that this matter can't be known by anyone other than our family. Otherwise, it will be terrible."
"I can only guarantee that the news won't leak out from me," Zhou Wen said solemnly.
An Sheng laughed. "If I didn't trust you, the Overseer wouldn't have tacitly allowed me to tell you."
As the two of them spoke, An Sheng suddenly received news that another creature had entered the Venus dimensional zone.
