Dimensional Gate Established

Xu Jia left with Old Li. She would join Old Li’s Independent Regiment in striking the invaders, while also bringing the five hundred suits of armor Chen Mu had gifted them back to the regiment.

In the end, Old Li still could not refuse Chen Mu and accepted the five hundred suits of armor for free.

After bringing the armor back to the regiment, Old Li spent two days selecting five hundred suitable soldiers. They put on the armor and were dispatched across the country to fight the invaders.

The appearance of five hundred "Iron Men" easily drove back the enemy invaders. Meanwhile, a Mage Faction also emerged in China. They hated evil with a vengeance and dealt the invaders heavy blows as well.

Time passed quickly. In less than a month, all the invaders had been driven out of China. By then, Chen Mu had finally established a fully functional Dimensional Gate in this world.

"Good grief, it took us over a month, but we finally got this thing built!"

Over that month, Old Li, as the person who had dealt most closely with Chen Mu, had been assigned to liaise with Chen Mu’s group and fulfill their requests and arrangements. That month had mainly been spent constructing a large venue for the Dimensional Gate.

After a full month, the venue was completed, and Chen Mu created a stable Dimensional Gate there.

"The establishment of this Dimensional Gate means that the two countries can now communicate without obstruction."

Chen Mu wore a broad smile. The Dimensional Gate was finally complete. Over the past month, he had traveled back and forth between the two worlds, incidentally serving as a courier and bringing diplomatic documents between the upper echelons of the two countries.

The Dimensional Gate on the Main World side had long since been built. Once the gate on the 1943 side was completed, travel between the two worlds could take place at any time.

At this point, the two countries were truly connected.

One was the Main World where Chen Mu came from, and the other was the world of 1943.

Naturally, aside from China, where Chen Mu had been all along, history in the 1943 world continued to develop as normal. On the European battlefield, Captain Carter’s sudden rise dealt Hydra a crushing blow.

More importantly, China’s strength had grown enormously at this time, playing a major role in the entire course of World War II.

Driving the invaders beyond its borders in just one month, China’s displayed strength dealt the Axis Powers a severe blow.

For a variety of reasons, the progress of World War II accelerated. The dawn of victory stirred the people of the entire world.

"Hey, I want to take a look at the future world too. Say, did Xiuqin and I get married?"

Old Li looked at Xu Jia curiously, his face full of anticipation.

"…"

Xu Jia fell silent. Could she tell Old Li that Xiuqin had died?

"Old Li, ever since we came to this world, many outcomes have already changed. You’ll have to pursue your own happiness yourself."

Chen Mu patted Old Li on the shoulder, then turned his gaze toward the Dimensional Gate before them and said excitedly, "Once we activate it, the two worlds will be able to communicate freely from now on."

The establishment of the Dimensional Gate also marked China’s forces breaking into the multiverse. Chen Mu named the world he had previously lived in the Main World and named the 1943 world World No. 1, making them easier to distinguish.

The Dimensional Gate was of great importance, so quite a few high-ranking figures from this world had come here.

Because of Chen Mu’s appearance, this world had changed greatly. In any case, Chen Mu only cared about the results.

"You’re right. Once we drive out the invaders, I’ll propose to Xiuqin. Hehe, Old Li’s going to be a married man too!"

Old Li chuckled. Thinking of his future wife, he could not help revealing a simple, foolish grin.

Ignoring Old Li’s silliness, Chen Mu directly activated the Dimensional Gate. A blue curtain of light appeared within the completed "doorframe." At that moment, the Dimensional Gate linking the two worlds activated successfully!

"Welcome to 1943, Director Zheng Xian." Once the Dimensional Gate activated, several people stepped out. The leader was from the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Zheng Xian had come along as well.

It had to be said that the Main World’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been extremely busy lately. Not only had it established diplomatic relations with Asgard, but now it had even established diplomatic relations with China in another world of the multiverse—something that would have been unimaginable just a year ago.

At this time, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 1943 side also stepped forward to greet them.

Chen Mu could not be bothered with how the two worlds would cooperate. He merely greeted Zheng Xian, who had come along, then walked off to the side with him and began chatting.

"Hey, the Dimensional Gate is finally done. I’ve been waiting so long I was about to wilt."

Zheng Xian’s face was full of excitement. As early as a month ago, he had begun selecting members within the God Spear Bureau to carry out the plan. This was not a mission plan, but rather a matter of "private vengeance," so Zheng Xian had selected his people in secret.

"This is Old Li, a friend I met here."

"This is Zheng Xian, Director of the God Spear Bureau. Back home, his organization is responsible for protecting China from all crises."

Chen Mu introduced the two men to each other.

"Protecting China from danger?"

Old Li was filled with respect. Though he did not know exactly what that meant, he truly thought it sounded impressive.

"You really are accomplished at such a young age!"

Old Li could not help sighing. Zheng Xian was simply too young, looking to be in his twenties and not even thirty yet.

Of course, Chen Mu was young as well.

"Not at all. Compared to seniors like you, we’re merely standing on your shoulders."

Zheng Xian was very modest. He held the old revolutionaries of this era in the highest respect.

"By the way, Director Zheng Xian, it seems you’re planning something?"

Old Li looked at Zheng Xian curiously. He had keenly sensed that something was off.

"This…?"

Zheng Xian glanced at Chen Mu, then at Old Li, hesitating slightly.

"There’s no need to hide it. Just tell him."

After thinking it over, Chen Mu felt there was no need to keep it from Old Li, so he said so.

"It’s like this. I’m planning to launch an attack on Little Japan itself."

Zheng Xian took a deep breath and spoke with a solemn expression.

"?"

Old Li raised his brows, unable to understand.

"It’s like this. You may not know, but in the future, we’ll suffer a great deal of humiliation because of Japan. After the war ends, those people won’t receive the punishment they deserve. You could say it’s a demon in the hearts of many people back home. We have to vent this anger."

"But that doesn’t mean you should lay hands on innocent civilians, does it?"

Old Li was a kind man, after all, so he was somewhat opposed to Zheng Xian’s plan.

"Innocent, my ass!"

Zheng Xian gritted his teeth and continued, "Not a single person among the island nation’s population in this era is innocent!"

As he spoke, Zheng Xian took out his phone and began playing some declassified information from the future about this period.

Having tasted the benefits of war, the island nation’s people had all fallen into madness at this time.

"Th-This is all true?"

Quickly going through the information, Old Li could not help gritting his teeth.

He could hardly imagine that such a group of people existed in this world.

Sure enough, when an avalanche comes crashing down, not a single snowflake is innocent.
