Luzhou, a meeting within the military district was underway.

Old Jin sat at the head of the table, listening to reports from the middle-aged men in military uniforms below. His gaze suddenly turned vacant.

For some reason, he recalled the nonsensical phone call from earlier and the little guy who claimed to be a deity.

"Old Jin?" A middle-aged man paused mid-sentence, noticing Old Jin's distraction, and instinctively asked.

"Ah, sorry, sorry." Old Jin chuckled awkwardly, "I just spaced out for a moment, thinking of something quite interesting."

With Old Jin's smile, the previously serious atmosphere of the meeting lightened up. The middle-aged man laughed, "It's rare to see Old Jin distracted. What interesting thing did you encounter?"

"Hehe, it's nothing. Before the meeting started, a little guy inexplicably called me, claiming to be a deity from the future, and predicted that there would be a magnitude seven earthquake in Gui Tian Country in an hour." Old Jin said, even he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"This... a deity?"

"Haha, must be reading too many novels. How could young people these days believe in such things as deities?"

Everyone present, having been through the baptism of materialism, couldn't help but laugh.

"A deity? I trust my gun more." The young female officer sitting next to Old Jin's deputy sneered, "Even if there really is a deity, I wonder if they could withstand a burst from my gun."

"Alright, let's continue with the reports." Old Jin waved his hand, regaining his composure and becoming serious once more.

Just then.

A middle-aged man who had just picked up his phone to check the time suddenly had a change in expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Old Jin..." His voice trembled as he slowly handed over his phone, "You, you better take a look at this."

Old Jin took the phone with a puzzled look.

The next moment.

Old Jin's pupils contracted, and his usually calm face was filled with shock!

"QQ Browser Latest News: A magnitude seven earthquake occurred in Gui Tian Country at 5:32 PM, resulting in fifteen deaths and twenty-three serious injuries."

"General Jin? Dad?" The female officer beside him frowned slightly, leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"This... I'll go check if any organization predicted this earthquake in advance!"

The female officer said, about to stand up and head out.

But.

"No need to check.

This... isn't something those monitoring organizations could predict.

Because, in that little guy's prediction, there were fifteen deaths and twenty-three serious injuries..."

Even Old Jin, who had seen it all, had a trembling voice at this moment.

Silence.

The entire office was quiet!

Old Jin suddenly took out his phone and pulled up the call log from earlier.

"4:32 PM, one hour. Exactly one hour. And the casualty numbers match..."

Everyone looked at Old Jin in astonishment.

If someone predicted the earthquake an hour in advance, it might just be that they used some scientific method to detect it early.

But.

If even the casualty numbers were predicted... this was beyond what scientific methods could detect!

This was a true miracle!

A real glimpse into the future!

But, could anyone really foresee the future?

Someone with such an ability... calling them a deity wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Gulp." The female officer swallowed, her icy face showing a complex expression, "Could it be that there really are deities in this world?"

"Don't ask me, I, I can't figure it out now either." Old Jin waved his hand, but then, the old man slowly stood up.

The confusion in his eyes turned into determination, and the authority of the Luzhou Military District's chief emerged.

"Hong," Old Jin looked at the female officer, his tone resolute, "Level one combat order, bring that little guy to me, I want to talk to him face to face!"

"Yes!" Hong stood at attention and saluted, full of vigor, gladly accepting the order, "I will complete the mission! I'll go investigate..."

"No, don't investigate! If what that kid said is true..." Old Jin's eyes flashed with complexity, "He might already know we would come for him. Since he took the initiative to call me, he's already shown goodwill.

Then we will talk to him openly and honestly. I'll personally call him to ask where he is.

And remember, we're not arresting him, we're inviting him! Hong, watch your attitude!"

With these words.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Old Jin, who was he?

Not to mention the past, but now Old Jin was a five-star general, a national figure!

Back when the left-wing party in Gui Tian Country was rampant, challenging our territorial waters, Old Jin, against everyone's objections, directly lined up three hundred battleships at Gui Tian Country's port, all guns aimed at Gui Tian Country's land. If not for the national leader's personal call, they would have almost bombarded that tiny country's capital.

Such a formidable military district chief, just because of a prediction, was going to personally call a little guy?

And even asked Colonel Hong to watch her attitude?

"Old Jin, this..." A middle-aged man whispered.

"No need to persuade me." Old Jin said in a deep voice, "If what that little guy said is true, then what he has to tell us might exceed all our imaginations!

Besides the prediction just now, that little guy also said one more thing.

Three months later, the Descent of the Gods.

Deity..."

As soon as the word deity was mentioned.

Everyone fell silent.

Five minutes ago, when Old Jin mentioned these words, everyone felt like he was joking.

But now...

Old Jin sighed and dialed a number.

Meanwhile.

"Lin Fan's parent, I have to say a few words to you. Lin Fan's behavior today is due to your lack of discipline." The middle-aged teacher stood at the podium, coldly looking at Lin's mother standing at the door, "With only a year left until the college entrance examination, this is a major event in the child's life!

You parents shouldn't just focus on your own matters; the child is the most important. Lin Fan left school without permission this afternoon..."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Lin's mother nodded repeatedly, her face flushed, pulling Lin Fan, "Hurry up and apologize to the teacher!"

That evening, the teacher notified Lin's mother that Lin Fan had left school without permission.

Lin's mother, who had just finished stewing ribs, dragged Lin Fan back to the classroom where evening self-study was still ongoing.

Lin Fan didn't really want to apologize, but seeing his mother bowing and apologizing, he sighed, "Teacher, I'm sor..."

Ring, Ring.

The phone rang.

"Lin Fan, you dare bring a phone to school?" The middle-aged teacher walked over with a stern face.

"Teacher," Lin Fan glanced at the phone number, "I need to take this call. It's important."

"Important?" The middle-aged teacher snorted, "Lin Fan, understand this, there's only a year left until the college entrance examination. If you don't take it, how will you face your future life..."

"My future life might not include the college entrance examination."

Lin Fan sighed and answered the call.

"Hello. Yes, Chief Jin, it's me.

I'm at school, yes, Class 3, Grade 2. Are you sending someone directly from the military district?"

After hanging up the phone.

The class erupted in laughter.

"What? Chief Jin? Military district?"

"Haha, Lin Fan must be crazy, thinking he's some big shot?"

The middle-aged teacher also laughed, "Lin Fan, well, it seems you're quite the character. You and your mother stand here, I want to see who comes for you!"

***

On the other side.

Luzhou Military District.

Ten military jeeps roared out of the gate.

In the leading jeep, Hong held the radio, speaking coldly, "Target confirmed, Lin Fan, currently at Jeju No. 1 High School, Class 3, Grade 2!

Step on the gas, this person is extremely important, I need to find him as quickly as possible, not a second to waste.

Request local departments for traffic control!"

"All operatives, armed and ready, in case of unexpected situations, and," Situ Hong's tone suddenly turned a bit strange, "everyone, mind your manners, remember, we're going to invite him!"

At this moment, all traffic lights in Jeju City turned red! Traffic officers redirected vehicles on certain roads to ensure no vehicles blocked the way!

In the sky, even the sound of helicopters could be heard!

All of this, just for Lin Fan!

Some passersby watched in amazement as the military jeeps sped by, taking photos with their phones to post online.

But at that moment, they suddenly realized that even their phones had lost signal, and the entire Jeju became a signal blackout zone!

Even the content they captured on their phones was automatically deleted!

"Is something big about to happen?" A passerby put down their phone, curiously watching the military vehicles disappear into the distance.

Just five minutes.

"Screech!"

Ten military jeeps screeched to a halt, neatly parked at the school gate.

The doors opened simultaneously, and a team of fully armed operatives disembarked in unison, forming ranks.

"Move out!" Hong led the team into the campus.

"Step, step, step!"

The orderly and heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor, the sound of military boots striking the ground, shaking the entire floor.

The laughter in the classroom abruptly stopped.

Lin Fan turned his head, smiling as he looked at the door.

Bang!

The classroom door swung open, and in walked a valiant, uniformed ice-cold woman, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.

Behind her were operatives in black combat uniforms, armed to the teeth!

"You..." The middle-aged teacher's face was filled with astonishment.

"Guard Platoon from the Military District Chief's Office, clear the area." The uniformed woman was like a sharp military knife, exuding a chilling aura.

Seeing this, the students turned pale.

They, who spent their days studying, had never seen someone with such a presence!

"Are you Lin Fan?" The uniformed woman scanned the room, walking up to Lin Fan, forcing a stiff smile on her cold face.

Lin Fan's eyes showed no panic, just a nod, "You're here. Situ Hong, it's been a while."

The uniformed woman was surprised.

Not to mention a student, even an ordinary adult would probably be too scared to stand in this situation.

Yet this young man before her seemed to have known they would come, exuding a composure beyond his years.

Even... there was a faint sense of the calm and authority akin to Old Jin's long-held position.

Hong instinctively sensed that this young man gave her an extremely dangerous feeling!

Moreover, how did this guy know her name? She didn't know him at all, how could it have been a long time since they last met?

The operatives behind her also showed a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Chief Jin ordered to invite you to come with us, he has some matters to discuss with you face to face." Situ Hong suppressed her doubts, her tone was stiff but very polite.

"Alright, let's go." Lin Fan nodded, turning to look at Lin's mother.

"Xiao Fan, what did you do wrong..." Lin's mother, always honest and simple, was quite frightened by the scene despite her age.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm going to do something good, to save the world." Lin Fan smiled, then turned to bow to the stunned middle-aged teacher.

"Teacher, I actually love learning, but now, I have something I must do.

I can't take the college entrance exam, but I will strive to ensure that all of you can still take it.

Starting today, I'm taking a leave of absence. The duration of the leave..."

Lin Fan didn't finish, gave Hong a look, and turned to leave.

The duration of the leave.

A one-way trip.

From this day on, the ordinary high school life would never return, replaced by a fight to the death with the gods!

As Lin Fan left, the classroom fell silent.

"Did he just leave like that?"

"Did I see that right?"

"With such a big scene, Lin Fan can't be a wanted criminal, can he?"

"Are you kidding? Have you ever seen a wanted criminal with this kind of treatment? That's the Guard Platoon from the Military District Chief's Office... hiss..."

"Just now, did that female officer say they were inviting Lin Fan?"

The classmates looked at each other.

***

Five minutes later.

In the central office of the Luzhou Military District.

Old Jin silently lit a cigarette, his aged yet clear eyes looking at the young man before him, speaking with a complex tone, "I have many questions for you, but for now."

Old Jin paused slightly, then spoke word by word, "Please first prove the existence of deities."
