Hidden Dragon Empire, Shangdu Empire Shelter, Di Yuan Group.
Di Yuan Group, originally the highest-secret organization of the Hidden Dragon Empire, manages all the Super Martial Artists of the Empire, dealing with general wars in the shadows. Ordinary people are unaware of such an organization within the Hidden Dragon Empire.
The overall strength of the Di Yuan Group in the Hidden Dragon Empire is formidable, with the president being a Grandmaster Level Ancient Martial Artist.
Di Yuan Group Building, within the command hall.
A man dressed in a black suit, tall and straight, with extraordinary handsomeness and a piercing gaze, exuded an imposing aura. Appearing to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, he was watching a satellite projection screen not far in front of him.
His aura was extremely formidable, emblematic of a Grandmaster's presence. For several miles around this Imperial Army shelter, no Deceitful Mutant Creatures dared to approach.
When the Mutated Fruit Tree emerged this morning, this being led three hundred Ancient Martial Artists to directly seize a Deformed Tree.
The strength was unparalleled and unmatched.
In the current stage, when encountering Gu Qijue, only a swift defeat awaited.
"It's astounding, Mu Qingxue is truly a Reincarnator. As the apocalypse arrives as predicted, we were busy the whole night and managed to save less than a million survivors in our Capital City."
An elder, with the confidence of a dragon and the power of a tiger, walked in from outside.
"How are the Super Martial Artists of the Upper Capital being gathered? Can the samples of those fruits be consumed after research?"
Chu Yuan slowly turned around, took a seat in the president's chair, and asked the elder in a calm voice.
"President Chu, we have currently gathered four thousand eight hundred and thirty-six Super Martial Artists in the Upper Capital. The research samples of those mysterious fruits are also out, containing a high level of divine matter that we Ancient Martial Artists can consume as well."
Upon mentioning those mysterious fruits, the elder's face showed some excitement, "The Spiritual Qi on the Star Blue Continent has almost dried up, and there are only a few Spirit Stones left. These mysterious fruits are truly lifesavers for us!"
Hearing this, Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, "Have any Ancient Martial Artists tried consuming them, how effective are they?"
"The efficacy is comparable to Spirit Stones. This apocalypse is not too bad for us."
The elder chuckled, "Although we are not Super Martial Artists, we are not weaker than them in the slightest."
"Good, it has been six years since I advanced to Grandmaster. Due to thin Spiritual Qi and only a few Spirit Stones, I haven't taken a step forward in six years. Send a thousand of such fruits to my residence." Chu Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement.
At sixteen, he had a great fortune in a certain mountain.
This year, at twenty-eight, that fortune allowed him to rise to Grandmaster in just five to six years.
"Hmm, my subordinates have already sent a thousand to your residence, President Chu. Just received news that in Cloud City, a Demon Dragon emerged and is growing at a remarkably fast rate. Mu Qingxue requested that it be slain to prevent future trouble."
This elder was Lu Tan, a Peak of Grandmaster.
Chu Yuan lit a cigarette for himself and said calmly, "At this stage, shouldn't there be no Deceitful Mutant Creatures that are opponents to Innate Martial Artists?"
Lu Tan nodded, "So far, we haven't seen such creatures. The strongest creature we've encountered from last night to now was only at the Peak of Postnatal level, and it was a very malevolent creature."
"Then send some Innates to resolve it, leave the handling here to you."
Chu Yuan got up and left, eager to try the effects of the Mutated Fruit.

...
At 5:45 PM.
A news release was issued under the name of Di Yuan Group at the Cloud City Shelter.
Content as follows:
The Empire will establish a Super Martial Artist Alliance, and anyone who has awakened a Super Martial Armor must register their identity with the Super Martial Alliance, becoming a member, and adhere to the Di Yuan Group's commands at any time. Those who do not heed the Di Yuan Group's call will be treated as rebels and must be eliminated!
The Di Yuan Group is an Ancient Martial Artist organization of the Hidden Dragon Empire. President Chu is a Grandmaster Level Ancient Martial Artist, who, in the morning, led three hundred Ancient Martial Artists to capture a Deformed Fruit Tree. Below is a video of President Chu and three hundred Ancient Martial Artists fighting groups of creatures.
.
Along with the announcement was a ten-minute video.
In the video, President Chu wielded a sword, leading three hundred Ancient Martial Artists to compete for a Deformed Fruit Tree.
He was simply too strong.
Walking on air.
The swordsmanship was exquisite and profound.
Each sword strike was dominantly unparalleled, with expansive beams of light, large areas of Deceitful Mutant Creatures were harvested by him.
The visible frenzied True Qi around him roared like a dragon.
With just himself and a sword, he blocked waves after waves of Deceitful Mutant Creature assaults.
The other three hundred Ancient Martial Artists were picking the fruits at the fastest speed.
This Cloud City news and video shook all the Super Martial Artists in Cloud City.
And for ordinary people, it was immensely uplifting to see.
Amidst humanity, such powerful beings, like Stabilizing Needles, were a source of hope and security.
"Damn, this President Chu is incredibly powerful!"
"So this is the legendary Ancient Martial Artist? They actually exist."
"Following the commands of such an existence, I have no complaints, let's go!"
Upon seeing this news announcement, the vast majority of Super Martial Artists had no grievances and immediately headed to the Imperial Army Shelter.
Cloud City, a certain zoo.
"Human, what brings you to me, the Emperor?"
A Disaster Level Silver-Backed Gorilla transformed into a burly bald man, had dominated all the Deformed Animals in this zoo, including an Evil Seed Level lion and a peacock.
In the hall, the silver-backed bald head sat high on what he called his throne, with the Lion King and Peacock King standing beside him.
Mu Qingxue smiled and said, "Hello, Silver-Backed Ape Emperor, I have a shelter, and I would like to invite you to guard it. The environment there is much better than here. I wonder if you have any interest."
Cute Treasure stood behind her, somewhat displeased.
"Benefits!" The Silver-Backed Ape Emperor neither refused nor accepted, but directly asked for benefits.
Before the world's mutation, his intelligence was already high, knowing it was humans that had been keeping him, so he didn't harbor any hatred toward them.
Had he been wild, he would've torn her to pieces by now.
"What benefits do you want?"
Seeing that the Silver-Backed Ape Emperor didn't refuse, Mu Qingxue tentatively asked.
"For instance, Mutated Fruits!" The Silver-Backed Ape Emperor showed a rough smile.
"If we can pick up Mutated Fruits in the future, you will definitely receive more. We will distribute according to merit."
Mu Qingxue smiled and said, "Moreover, President Chu of Di Yuan Group will not spare any Deceitful Mutant Creatures that are enemies with humans, which is the strength of our President Chu."
With that, Mu Qingxue showed the ten-minute video to the Silver-Backed Ape Emperor.
"So strong!"
The Silver-Backed Ape Emperor, after watching for a while, showed a deep fear.
"Collaborating with humans is definitely better than staying here."
Mu Qingxue said solemnly, "You must have sensed it. Darker, stronger creatures are lurking. Having a safe shelter as a base for survival, you won't fear being hunted by those deceitful creatures. I'll be frank, more such creatures will appear later."
The Silver-Backed Ape Emperor nodded and agreed, "Last night, while hunting, I did feel a powerful and evil creature lurking in the dark. Alright, Lion King, Peacock King, gather the potential brothers, and we will follow them to the shelter."
