Chapter 95: We meet again. The three of them flew on the back of the Reaper Crow, surveying the land beneath them. Wan Yi could use her connection with the Reaper Crow to locate the group that was most likely pursuing Yun Yantian, but Yao Jun still searched for Yun Yantian from the air with his own eyes. While the group they were following were most likely the group pursuing Yun Yantian, they were only the group that were most likely to chase them. For all they knew, it could just be a coincidence that such a large group of Guo clan members were so close to the place where Yun Yantian awakened. There was also a chance that Yun Yantian had gone into hiding somewhere, rather than keep fleeing from the Guo clan people. Because of this, Yao Jun had spent every moment they were flying, channeling his Qi into his eyes to keep watch on the surroundings. While doing so, he also occasionally turned his eye toward the center of the continent. He could feel that they were approaching the massive Demonic beast, getting closer the longer they flew. Of course, if the Demonic beast did not release it's aura, there would be no way for Yao Jun to sense it. It was giving him a warning, letting him know not to get too close. “They made a sharp turn, they have also increased their speed. It seems like they have spotted what they were looking for. If we let little Xie fly at full speed, we should reach them in around an hour.” After flying for two days, Wan Yi had the Reaper Crow, Xie Bi'an, make a quick turn towards the left. Hearing her words, Yao Jun turned in the direction that Xie Bi'an was facing, but despite his strengthened vision he was unable to see anything. Since they had made a sharp turn, it seemed like they too were scared of entering the massive Demonic beasts territory. “Good, let her go at full speed then.” Yao Jun did not hesitate to bring out his gate and place it on the back of Xie Bi'an. The three of them entered the gate, allowing Xie Bi'an to fly at full speed. Her full speed was slower than Little Gray's max speed, but it would still be very unpleasant for their bodies to withstand such speed. After entering the gate, Yao Jun sat down with his legs crossed and started regulating his breathing. If the group they were chasing were really pursuing Yun Yantian, there would definitely be a battle once they arrived. Because of this Yao Jun wanted to be in top condition when they arrived. Guo Luo and Wan Yi copied Yao Jun when they saw him sitting down, causing the inside of the gate to fall into a temporary silence. “We have arrived.” After a little over an hour of silence, Wan Yi opened her eyes and spoke out. She was connected to her Demonic beast much like Yao Jun was to his, so she could see through it's eyes, a trait everyone from the Demon Race shared. Hearing her words, Yao Jun opened his eyes and stood up. The three of them left the gate, appearing on the back of Xie Bi'an, who had already slowed down. Yao Jun turned towards the direction Xie Bi'an was facing and channeled his Qi into his eyes. The area around them was a large plain with only a few spread patches of trees and some lakes around, meaning that there were very few things obstructing his vision. In the distance, he could see a group of people clad in the robes of the Guo clan. There were only nine people, with the strongest being at the middle stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth. The group was chasing two people, Yao Jun could recognize Yun Yantian, but not the other person. It did not require too much thought to realize that the second person was likely the person who awakened the Ghost God's Gate. Both groups of people had varying degrees of injuries, so they had clearly clashed a few times already. Yao Jun did not know how Yun Yantian and the other person managed to evade the people from the Guo clan for an entire month, but seeing that he was still alive, Yao Jun heaved a sigh of relief. “Can you bring us directly above them?” Yao Jun narrowed his eyes when he saw Yun Yantian and the other person stop running. From their expressions, he could tell that they were completely exhausted. He could guess what they were thinking, since they could not run any longer, why not make one last stand. He turned his head slightly and looked at Guo Luo, a slightly apologetic expression on his face. He planned on killing the nine people that were chasing Yun Yantian. With Wan Yi's Reaper Crow, there was no need to keep them alive for questioning, they could just question their souls. But these people were after all people belonging to the same clan as Guo Luo, so he still felt slightly apologetic towards her. Guo Luo shook her head, a faint smile on her face. She took a step closer to him and grabbed his hand, leaning her head on his shoulder, indicating for him not to worry about it. She was part of the Guo clan true, but she did not consider the Guo clan her home. There were only two people in the Guo clan she cared about, her father and mother. “No problem.” Wan Yi nodded her head and pat Xie Bi'an on the head. While Xie Bi'an was moving closer, Yao Jun got ready for battle. A black sword appeared in his right hand, and his armor started appearing on his body, leaving only his head, upper arms, and thighs exposed. Wan Yi and Guo Luo did not feel anything when the armor appeared, but Xie Bi'an started faintly trembling. The holder of the Demon God's Gate was the ruler of all Demons, they would always feel stifled when faced with the might of the Demon God's Gate. Xie Bi'an reached the air above the two groups, who were facing each other with a tense atmosphere, without either of the groups noticing. Before Wan Yi had the time to say anything, Yao Jun took a step forward, into empty air. He and Guo Luo both plummeted towards the earth, but their expressions were completely calm. Wind started blowing around the two of them, slowing down the speed at which they were falling. Before anyone had time to react, the two of them landed in the midst of the group belonging to the Guo clan, raising a cloud of dust. The cloud of dust quickly dispersed, revealing Yao Jun and Guo Luo. There were two bodies lying on the ground in front of Guo Luo, each body having a hole in it's throat. In her right hand, she held a nearly transparent sword that seemed to be made out of multicolored crystal, a few drops of blood still ran down the blade of the sword. There was a stream of multicolored energy moving out from the two bodies and into Guo Luo's body as she stood there. “We meet again brother Yantian.” Yao Jun sent a mellow smile towards Yun Yantian as he spoke. Tendrils of hardened darkness had extended from beneath his feet and stabbed through the remaining seven people. Even the person at the middle stage of the 2nd Mortal Earth had been pierced through the head. Had the group of nine people not been exhausted because of the month long chase, they could probably have put up a fight. But now they were exhausted and wounded, becoming little more than lambs to the slaughter. Yao Jun also took this chance to inspect the person standing next to Yun Yantian. The person was a male youth with tanned skin, his body was muscular, but not burly. The youth had shoulder long gray hair and deep black eyes. The youth was slightly taller than Yao Jun. “Really, how is it that I always end up meeting you in situations like these.” Yun Yantian's legs lost all their strength as he was forced to sit down. But seeing Yao Jun, his mouth spread into a wide grin as he commented. The first time he met Yao Jun was while he was under attack by bandits, he ran to Yao Jun for help. Now he was under attack once more, and Yao Jun came to his aid once more.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
