After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 936 - Chapter 936: His Majesty: We're going home (1)

Chapter 936: His Majesty: We’re going home (1)

Man triumphs over nature.

This has always been an unchanging truth in Great Xia.

No matter how perilous the disaster, unity could overcome it.

JIANG Shuihan clasped his fists, offering a smile. “No need for formalities. Thank you all for your assistance. We will prevail!”

With so many reinforcements arriving, members of the Thousand Army Alliance finally had time to rest.

Ji Qingyao refused to rest, holding a life detector as she continued to search for Si Fuqing.

JIANG Shuihan glanced at the time, his eyes cold. “How many have been rescued so far?”

“Eighteen thousand,” the deputy said, looking at the records. He pursed his lips, “We are evacuating all residents from Shan City. Twenty-seven thousand six hundred are still trapped. The situation is dire, and the death toll is currently at 174, with the number expected to rise.”

As time passed, casualties would increase.

This natural disaster had brought immense suffering.

They could only do their best to save as many as possible.

“Good, continue the rescue.” JIANG Shuihan drank a bottle of water, resting briefly for a few minutes. “I’ll join Miss Qingyao in looking for Miss Si.”

If anything happened to Si Fuqing, they would never forgive themselves.

At that moment, several evolved beings hurried over, led by Xie Yanqiu.

Xie Yanqiu stepped forward first. “What’s the situation? Where do you need more hands?”

Not all evolved beings were combat-oriented. Those who could participate in the rescue were fewer than the members of the Thousand Army Alliance.

“Chief,” JIANG Shuihan’s eyes were covered in dark circles, clearly a sign of exhaustion. “Do you have any evolved beings who can influence the weather? The rain isn’t stopping, and it’s hindering the rescue efforts.”

Although he wasn’t an evolved being, he had learned about their abilities from Mu Qingmeng and Xiao Wenjian.

It was said that the Evolved Being Alliance had a Class-S evolved being who could control the weather, summon lightning, tornadoes, and rainstorms.

This Class-S evolved being had inherited his abilities from his parents and was highly valued by the Evolved Being Alliance.

“We do, but only at Class-B. It won’t help much,” Xie Yanqiu frowned. “We can’t control a storm of this magnitude, only reduce it slightly.”

“Thank you,” Jiang Shuihan smiled bitterly. “Other rescues are going well, but for Miss Si…”

He explained the situation.

Xie Yanqiu’s expression changed. “I’ll find her.”

That foolish girl!

She had thrown herself into danger again, never considering herself.

Xie Yanqiu was both anxious and angry.

“The Thousand Army Alliance’s orders are my orders,” she handed over the evolved beings to JIANG Shuihan, her voice cold. “Listen to his instructions and ensure the safety of all residents.”

“Yes, Chief!”

Meanwhile, at Zhaoyao Mountain, the site of Great Xia’s dragon vein.

Upon arriving in Shan City, Old Master JI hurried there without delay.

The situation was dire.

Zhaoyao Mountain connected to Shan City in the east and Su City in the west, making it a crucial area.

Additionally, several villages surrounded the mountain range.

Mudslides triggered by the heavy rain had devastated these villages, burying many people, and the rescue efforts were racing against time.

“Please save my daughter! She’s still down there! Please, save my daughter.” A middle-aged man, clad in a raincoat, knelt on the ground, bowing repeatedly. “She’s only eight years old. I can die, I can give up everything! Please save her.”

The rescuers were at a loss.

That area was completely blocked. They couldn’t get in, let alone rescue anyone.

“Don’t worry,” Yu Xiheng knelt down, patting the man’s back. “I’ll go. Your daughter will be fine.”

The man looked up abruptly, staring at the handsome face before him. “You… you are…”

Such poise and appearance, could he be a wealthy scion?

Why would such a nobleman be in this place?

Ignoring the protests around him, Yu Xiheng calmly removed his protective gear. He began clearing stones and mud with his hands, making his way into the rubble where the rescue team couldn’t reach.

The surroundings were silent, everyone waiting anxiously.

After what felt like an eternity, Yu Xiheng emerged, carrying the little girl, successfully rescuing her from the mudslide.

“Daddy…” The girl’s lips were cracked. She muttered this one word before passing out.

Medical personnel quickly took her to a makeshift shelter for emergency treatment.

The middle-aged man, overcome with joy, knelt again. “Thank you, sir! Thank you! I… I’ll give you everything I have. Is there anything you need my help with?”

Yu Xiheng extended a hand, signaling him to stand. “No need, it’s my duty.”

He had seen too much death, should have been numb to it.

Yet, he couldn’t bear to witness it.

Every life was a burden too heavy for him to bear.

During wars, he would always be the first to go.

“The rescue is complete,” the rescue leader sighed in relief. “This area is secure, with protective measures in place. Mr. Yu, we request permission to move to Shan City.”

Yu Xiheng wiped the rain from his face, nodding. “Let’s go.”

“Mr. Yu, you’re injured. Why not rest here first—”

Before the leader could finish, Yu Xiheng stood, dismissing the concern. “You haven’t rested. Why should I? It’s just a minor injury.”

**

An hour later, in Shan City.

“Shiyan!” Seeing Yu Xiheng, Lin Qingchen sighed in relief. “Finally, you’re here. Something’s wrong!”

Yu Xiheng asked, “What happened?”

“Miss Si was trapped while rescuing passengers in the subway station,” Lin Qingchen said anxiously. “It’s been eight hours, and we haven’t found her yet!”

Yu Xiheng’s expression changed instantly.

He was always composed, able to conceal his emotions even in anger.

But now, he was visibly shaken.

This was the first time Lin Qingchen had seen such a look on his face, a look that could be described as terrifying.

But his voice remained calm. “Where is she buried?”

“Here, at the subway entrance of the central mall,” Lin Qingchen immediately led him to the spot. “We’ve dug it up but found nothing. She might have been washed away by the water, we don’t know where, or maybe…”

He couldn’t finish the sentence.

Stripped of all glory, Si Fuqing was just a young woman with a family and career.

“Mmhm.” Yu Xiheng responded softly, his tone emotionless. “I’ll follow her path. I’ll find her.”

“Shiyan, you—” Before Lin Qingchen could say more, Yu Xiheng had already leaped down without hesitation.

Darkness enveloped him, heightening his senses. He moved forward, detecting a faint smell of blood.

His eyes darkened, and he clenched his fist.

Why didn’t she stay put?

He didn’t need to ask; he knew the answer.

She was like him.

Like JIANG Haiping, Mo Yanfeng, and JIANG Zhaoyue.

But he felt heartache.

The scent of blood, even from this distance, indicated severe injuries.

Yu Xiheng exercised all his restraint.

At that moment, in the southeast corner.

Si Fuqing leaned against a cold stone, her vision blurred, waves of fatigue washing over her.

In her hazy sight, she seemed to see Ye Wanlan. Her fingers twitched, and she whispered, “Sister, I miss you.”

After Ye Wanlan left, she had countless times thought of giving up, of dying.

But she couldn’t.

She carried Ye Wanlan and Lu Qingning’s lives, the belief of the Eternity Quartet. She couldn’t let them die in vain. She couldn’t give up.

Si Fuqing bit her tongue again, the pain giving her a bit of strength, but she still couldn’t open her eyes.

Little Bai circled her, crying out, almost in tears.

The sound was faint but reached Yu Xiheng.

He precisely located the source of the sound, signaling the rescuers above while advancing.

Just when Si Fuqing had no strength left to knock, a strong arm wrapped around her, steady and powerful.

Simultaneously, the sound of machinery above grew louder.

Ji Qingyao shouted, “Over here, clear this area!”

“Miss Si! Mr. Yu is here!” Shang Lu’s voice trembled, “Miss Si, hold on!”

Light flooded in, revealing the familiar face of the man to Si Fuqing.

Her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she collapsed, falling into unconsciousness.

The girl’s body shivered from the cold.

“It’s okay now, it’s over.” He held her close, wiping away her tears, his voice softening, contrasting with his usual decisive and ruthless demeanor.

“We’re going home.”
