Due to the emergence of power from the Divine Spirit Realm, everything became even more bewildering, causing the thoughts of Han Yun's trio to descend into chaos. The Divine Spirit Realm would never destroy the Lower Realm it managed; this was clearly a self-serving act. Therefore, after much deliberation, Han Yun and his companions believed that all this might be related to Countess, Elina, the two mysterious individuals, and possibly Elsie. It could be that one or more among them had misused the Divine Spirit Realm's power to disrupt Earth NX!

With this in mind, Han Yun and the others again checked the system's reception of the special light code encrypted by the Divine Spirit Realm after the lightning pillar appeared. However, no matter how their Mold Spirit Energy Tracking System tried to decode it, they could never unlock this string of light code. Perplexed, Han Yun asked, "Strange, why does the system show that we have no access to the information in this light code? Didn't you say that the Mold Spirit Energy Tracking Officer has very high access rights to information from the Divine Spirit Realm due to their special position?"

Dao Lao also answered in puzzlement, "Logically speaking, we should indeed have access to this special light code. However, it's possible that our system's functionality has been significantly compromised, causing us to lose the ability to access this light code. Of course, there's another possibility: this light code was sent as a special order by a higher-ranking department and can only be viewed by specific officers, which is why we can't access the information hidden within."

"But the problem is, we cannot confirm whether this light code was sent by high-ranking officials of the Divine Spirit Realm. And perhaps, this light code could be forged? Although I don't think Elina is capable of this, Countess's power could certainly achieve such a feat, right?" Dream Jia speculated.

Han Yun and Dao Lao nodded in agreement with Dream Jia's conjecture. They truly hoped that Dream Jia's speculation would turn out to be true! Because if this matter was indeed related to the high-ranking officials of the Divine Spirit Realm, the problem could become severe. If so, did this mean that there were high-ranking officials within the Divine Spirit Realm who wanted to betray it and secretly use its power to cause havoc?

However, if the light pillar containing the light code sent to Earth NX was indeed sent by a high-ranking officer, how could they explain the presence of Mold Spirit Energy hidden within that pillar? Did it mean that the high-ranking officer who sent the light code had also defected to the Mold Spirit Energy? If so, was there a connection between this high-ranking officer and Elina?

Thinking of this, Han Yun and his companions couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. If Mold Spirit Energy had infiltrated the ranks of the high-ranking officials of the Divine Spirit Realm, wouldn't it mean that there was an internal reactionary force collaborating with Mold Spirit Energy? In that case, the security of the Divine Spirit Realm would be compromised, and Mold Spirit Energy could use defected high-ranking officials to wreak havoc secretly.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Han Yun couldn't help but sigh deeply, while images of the two mysterious individuals once again flashed in his mind. Could it be true that they belonged to another independent branch of the Divine Spirit Realm? Were their actions in their own home meant to solve the problems in this world? Or were their claims just a deception? Were they actually lackeys acting on behalf of the defected high-ranking official?

Han Yun and his companions couldn't help but shudder again. If everything happening on Earth NX was indeed related to the high-ranking officials of the Divine Spirit Realm, even if it had nothing to do with Mold Spirit Energy, it would become extremely tricky. Not to mention the possibility of high-ranking officials colluding with Mold Spirit Energy. If that was the case, with their strength alone, Han Yun and his companions would have no chance of solving this problem!

"Is there really no way for our system to decrypt that light code?" Han Yun asked in a gasp.

"No. Our system doesn't have the authorization. However, our system can scan the surface of the lightning marker and roughly analyze its composition. Of course, this is under the condition that our system continues to operate normally," Dao Lao replied straightforwardly.

"Well, given the current situation, we can only know what we can," Han Yun sighed.

"So, how did Elsie and the others decrypt that light marker? Could it be that they came specifically to capture the high-ranking official who sent that light code? Or perhaps, are they allies of that high-ranking official?" Dream Jia squinted and said.

"If Elsie and the others are allies of that high-ranking official, why would they lead the humans here to defend Earth NX while simultaneously using the Sabans to destroy this world?" Han Yun shook his head, puzzled.

Dao Lao slowly stroked his white beard and said, "Mold Spirit Energy. Perhaps their purpose is to keep creating bad luck here to help Mold Spirit Energy gain more power. Therefore, they've kept this battlefield going for over ten thousand years."

Indeed, Dao Lao's speculation seemed to make sense, explaining why the Sabans always seemed to hold back in battle, allowing humans to effectively contain them. Because as long as this war continued here, Earth NX would constantly be enveloped in various negative energies, primarily led by bad luck, and continuously manufacture negative energies for Mold Spirit Energy to absorb. If this were true, then who was the defected high-ranking official providing nutrients to? Elina? Or another force of Mold Spirit Energy?

Moreover, the higher the level of the official, the stronger their divine protection. This also meant that they were subject to stronger constraints, making their every move easier to detect by the Divine Spirit Realm, making it difficult for them to behave in a manner contrary to the Divine Spirit Realm.

So how did that high-ranking official who sent the hidden light code to Earth NX avoid the supervisory power that worked in conjunction with the powerful protection?

Based on the various intelligence received so far, it seemed that Hao Yun and his two companions could derive a relatively reasonable explanation from any angle. However, each of these reasonable explanations appeared somewhat illogical. This was why, as more information accumulated, Hao Yun's thoughts became increasingly muddled.

(At this point, the author couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth and say, "Hiss—! Speaking of confusion, it's been a long time since I've had grilled brain flowers! Hey! The taste of grilled brain flowers is just too good! Just thinking about it makes me drool!")

Upon hearing this, Hao Yun couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, then quipped, "Can't you stop startling me like that? Moreover, if you're here, can't you provide some useful information? Can't you see we're brainstorming, trying hard to analyze the current situation? Grilled brain flowers, grilled brain flowers! How do you only think about eating! Look at this rubbish you've written! You've given a bunch of broken clues that don't match up, no logic at all!"

The author innocently shrugged, "Do you think I wanted to write it like this?! It's not like I have a choice, okay? Besides, I don't know all that much information!"

"What do you mean you don't know? So you write novels without using your brain, huh? Ha! You're right! If you used your brain a bit, you wouldn't write such a crappy plot!" Hao Yun continued to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Tch! I don't want to argue with you! If you have time, think about the story from a different perspective. I'd rather think about where I can get a side of grilled brain flowers!" Knowing he couldn't win an argument with Hao Yun, the author decided to ignore the complaints and run away.

Seeing the author give in, Hao Yun still felt unsatisfied and continued to curse, "Eat! All you know is eating! Damn it! I'm really unlucky! How did I become the protagonist of your sewer-level novel? What kind of sins did I commit in my past life!"

Several days passed, and Terrilei City remained silent. According to the signals sent back by Eva and the others, although the Savior had begun deciphering work, they couldn't guarantee how much longer it would take to decipher useful information from the light pillar. In any case, the Skull Squad's current task was to remain vigilant at all times and be prepared to respond to emergencies.

On a sunny afternoon after waiting for another five or six days, the members who were on rotation rest were suddenly awakened by an excited shout coming through their communication headsets: "Success! The Savior did it! The Savior really deciphered useful codes from this light pillar! We've finally gathered 666 codes again!"

"Hey! Why are you shouting so loud?! Are you afraid the Mastanians outside won't hear you?!" Wang Defa, who was also rudely awakened from his nap, immediately scolded the signal soldier who was loudly reading Eva's message and enthusiastically cheering.

Startled by Wang Defa's shout, the signal soldier cringed, then quickly handed over the decoded message from Eva's signal lamp to Wang Defa, suppressing his excitement as he said, "Brother Defa, take a look! This is the message just sent by the boss! The Savior has deciphered the 666th code from that light pillar! We've finally gathered all 666 codes again!"

Wang Defa quickly scanned the information provided by the signal soldier, then stood up and used the signal lamp to send a series of signals back towards Eva's location. Soon, signals came back from Eva, confirming the signal soldier's report was accurate. At that moment, a somewhat sly and sinister smile finally appeared on Wang Defa's otherwise unsettling face.

Excitedly, Wang Defa exclaimed, "Great! The Savior has really found the final set of codes! Spread the word, have the brothers immediately get up and prepare their equipment! Since the Savior has deciphered the 666 codes, they could anytime combine them into the decryption password for the Mastanian headquarters. Once the Savior gets the final password and begins breaking into the gate leading to the Mastanian headquarters at night, we need to be ready for combat at any moment! If the Savior only unlocks one of the locks on that gate, we can drive back the Mastanians besieging our main city!"

Then, Wang Defa looked ahead with a slightly cold tone, "Of course, if the Savior manages to open that gate wide, we'll immediately rush over to support and follow them into the Mastanian headquarters, catching them off guard at any cost! Remember! Once we enter the Mastanian headquarters, there's no turning back. So, if anyone doesn't want to die so early, speak up now. I'll arrange for you to stay here and order you to evacuate amidst the chaos and report what happened here to others. Of course, provided you can safely leave Terrilei City at that time. Hmph!"

Wang Defa looked extremely sinister, but you couldn't deny he was prepared to sacrifice in the upcoming operation. Therefore, despite Wang Defa's unsettling demeanor, none of the team members questioned his attitude. Instead, they all replied with heightened morale, "For the future of humanity, we are willing to live and die with the Savior! Long live the Savior! Long live peace! Long live humanity!"

Naturally, Hao Yun and his companions also joined in the spirited cheering with the soldiers. However, at the same time, they noticed a particular phrase used by Wang Defa, prompting them to ask Karl why Wang Defa mentioned that the Savior would be cracking the lock on the gate at night. Karl explained that it was because the Mastanian lighthouse only became active at night, forcing the Savior's team to crack the gate's lock during that time.

Just before the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, Eva sent another series of signals, indicating that the Savior's team would commence their operation to crack the gate and advising the Skull Squad to prepare for the next steps.

Soon after, darkness enveloped Terrilei City. About half an hour later, a bright light suddenly appeared on the towering Mastanian lighthouse in the distance. As soon as it appeared, it swiftly disappeared into the lighthouse. Then, the light began to randomly flash through the black holes scattered around the lighthouse, releasing colorful beams of light. The night sky and the surrounding buildings were bathed in vibrant, multicolored lights, imbuing the scene with vitality.
