Chapter 62 The Profound Heritage of an Ancient Nation!
General Iron Eagle's voice was cold and indifferent.
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in the deathly silent conference room.
He seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched a fierce attack in front of all the top executives.
"Elder Long! If it weren't for Wu Jingyao's skillful command and ability to turn the tide in this surprise attack!"
"The entire 'Project Fireseed' base could be destroyed; the consequences would be unimaginable!"
His voice was loud and clear, full of righteous and awe-inspiring presence.
Then, he changed the subject, pointing the finger directly at Elder Long.
"In contrast to your command! When the enemy's target was clearly aimed at the base, instead of organizing an effective defense, you immediately ordered a retreat!"
"This is a classic case of passive resistance, cowardice, and a betrayal of the Dragon Kingdom's top secrets!"
One after another, heavy accusations were slapped down without mercy.
"General Iron Eagle is right! Elder Long's command was indeed too conservative!"
"Times have changed; what we need are more decisive and courageous leaders!"
The other high-ranking officials who were on good terms with Tie Ying immediately echoed his sentiments.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire conference room completely changed.
Iron Eagle immediately pressed his advantage, loudly proposing, "I propose that Wu Jingyao take over as the commander-in-chief of 'Project Fireseed'!"
"I agree!"
"agree!"
……
As the vote began, hands were raised without hesitation.
An overwhelming majority.
A few of Long Lao's old subordinates, though unwilling, could only lower their heads helplessly under such circumstances.
Old Long closed his eyes, his aged face revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
When he opened his eyes again, only calmness remained in his cloudy eyes.
He silently removed the token representing the commander-in-chief's authority and gently placed it on the conference table.
Then he stood up and didn't look at anyone again.
He turned around and walked step by step toward the door.
Looking at his lonely and hunched back, everyone felt a mix of emotions.
The man who once dominated the battlefield and was hailed as the God of War of the Dragon Kingdom has truly grown old.
An era seems to have come to an end.
Amidst applause, Wu Jingyao stepped forward and picked up the token that still carried the warmth of Elder Long's body.
She bowed deeply to the crowd, her face displaying just the right amount of humility and determination: "I will live up to everyone's expectations and dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the Dragon Kingdom and the 'Spark Project'!"
After becoming the new commander-in-chief, she gained unprecedented authority.
An elderly man walked forlornly down the corridor outside the command center.
Qin Bing quickly caught up with Elder Long, and looking at the old man's back, which seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, she felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
"Elder Long..."
The old man stopped and turned around.
Those eyes, which had witnessed countless deaths and carnage, were now somewhat moist.
He gripped Qin Bing's wrist tightly, his voice hoarse and heavy: "Little Qin, I'm sorry to Su Chen, and I'm sorry to all of you... I'm useless, I couldn't keep this position."
"Elder Long, please don't say that!" Qin Bing's eyes also reddened.
She shook her head firmly: "You will always be the person we respect most!"
"No matter what happens, the Ice Phoenix Special Forces will always stand by your side!"
Old Master Long nodded with satisfaction, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
He suddenly lowered his voice and leaned close to Qin Bing's ear.
He spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Be careful of Wu Jingyao, this woman is definitely not simple!"
"All of this today seems like a play tailor-made for her."
Qin Bing felt a chill run down her spine.
"And..." Elder Long continued:
"You must make good use of what Su Chen left you; it may be our only trump card at the moment."
Qin Bing nodded heavily.
Her hand instinctively tightened its grip on the cold USB drive in her pocket.
The words Su Chen said to her before he left, as well as the contents of the USB drive, resurfaced in her mind.
It contained everything about Wu Jingyao, in such detail that it was outrageous.
The opponent's special abilities, every node of energy circulation, subtle habits during combat, and even the fundamental weaknesses of Wu Jingyao's bloodline abilities.
Her bloodline fears extreme cold and intense mental attacks! If you and Lin Xue join forces, you have a 50% chance of winning.
A 50% chance of winning!
Facing a future overlord who could rival Emperor Yan Xiao Fan, this was already an incredibly high evaluation that Su Chen could give.
Qin Bing clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
The confusion and unease faded from her eyes, replaced by a steadfastness and coldness like that of ancient ice.
The advisor and Elder Long have both left, and now I have to face everything alone.
She will persevere until... the day the advisor and Elder Long return.

Wu Jingyao's office
When she used her highest authorization to access files classified as SSS-level top secret.
For the first time, her face, which always carried a charming smile, revealed a genuine expression of shock.
One by one, the long-forgotten code names of the projects were revealed before her eyes.
[Pangu Project]: Archives show that before the apocalypse, the Dragon Kingdom had already secretly developed a fully intelligent mechanical army.
These "mechanical users," made of special alloys and equipped with psionic cores, possess combat power comparable to B-level or even A-level ability users, and can be mass-produced!
Project Zhurong: A miniaturized psionic weapon based on controlled nuclear fusion, powerful enough to threaten S-class ability users.
and many more……
And... that ultimate trump card.
【Dongfeng-God's Wrath Series】: A strategic nuclear weapon that has been modified and equipped with a special psionic warhead!
At the end of the file, a line of small print in blood-red font reads: "Sufficient to pose a fatal threat to beings of the sixth rank or higher."
Wu Jingyao's fingertips trembled slightly.
A fine layer of cold sweat seeped out from his back.
For the first time, she realized that she, and all the reborn individuals including Xiao Fan, had seriously underestimated the profound heritage of this ancient country.
She had originally planned to use Xiao Fan's power to get a big slice of the pie from the Dragon Kingdom.
But now it seems that if I were really stupid enough to act alone, I probably wouldn't even have any bones left.
Her mind raced, and a more insidious and ambitious plan quickly took shape in her head.
She didn't want the Dragon Kingdom to become too powerful, lest her "bloodline" plan be unable to be implemented.
They also didn't want Xiao Fan to be too weak and easily crushed by the Dragon Kingdom.
Only when two tigers fight each other will they both be severely injured.
Only then can this world possibly welcome its true new master!
And that master can only be her, the Blood Sea Empress—Wu Jingyao!!!
