At the next moment, the silver light on Fang Xingjian’s body slowly dissipated, and he once again took on the appearance of a normal person.
His Sudden Inspiration’s senses tingled, then he took a step forward and appeared in the small courtyard outside. The moment he appeared, Ah Li just happened to step into the courtyard as well.
Looking at Fang Xingjian in surprise, Ah Li asked curiously, “Martial Uncle, are you as powerful as Master?”
Ah Li was full of admiration toward her master, Luo Haonan. After all, the reputation of the Qiu Dao Alliance’s Six Heavenly Generals was apparent. Their reputation could be said to be world-shaking, and everyone—young or old—knew about them.
However, with regard to Fang Xingjian, it might be because of the long conversation that they had in the past that Ah Li appeared to act more casually around him. It could also be because other than moving the vehicle, Fang Xingjian had not displayed any remarkable abilities.
The corners of Fang Xingjian’s lips curled up slightly, and he said half-jokingly, “Even if you combine the Six Heavenly Generals together, they might not be as strong as me. It’s just that the Alliance Chief Qiu Dao still has some trump up his sleeves that I haven’t figured out yet.”
This was from all the information Fang Xingjian’s clone had obtained over the past few days.
However, to Ah Li, she only felt that Fang Xingjian was spouting rubbish.
Simultaneously, a young man also walked in. He looked at Fang Xingjian with a contempt-filled gaze and smirked inwardly. ‘Such shameless boasting. Hmph, how strong can a person who enjoys bragging in front of girls be?
‘Master was right. This new Heavenly General has been acting cowardly and warily since he came here. Moreover, he likes to boast as well. He probably isn’t that strong.’
This young man was the disciple taken in under the wing of the cold-looking man—the Six Heavenly Generals’ the Snake King. The disciple’s name was Liu Ying.
However, although Liu Ying was secretly criticizing Fang Xingjian and viewing him in contempt, he did not show too much disrespect on his face or through his actions. After all, no matter what, Fang Xingjian was still far more powerful than him. Therefore, Liu Ying cupped his hands together and said, “Lord Xingjian, Lord Luo asked for you to head over. The Alliance Chief has passed down his words.”
Fang Xingjian nodded and disappeared with a flash.
It was only after seeing Fang Xingjian’s disappearance that Liu Ying said, “Hmph. Him alone beating the six of them? This person doesn’t even think before he lies.”
Ah Li said, a little awkwardly, “Martial Uncle might just be joking.”
“Joking? Not everything can be made into a joke. It’s fine that I’m the one who is hearing this. If my Master were to hear this, he would probably beat this guy half to death.”
Ah Li nodded without rebutting. It was because Liu Ying’s Master, the Snake King, had once taught Luo Haonan a lesson. He had defeated Luo Haonan and even taken away one of his Divine Remains Equipment.
As a result, Luo Haonan’s people could not raise their heads before the Snake King, so Ah Li was unable to hold her head up high before Luo Haonan. Based on Luo Haonan’s judgment, Fang Xingjian was probably on par with himself and thus would not be a match for the Snake King.
At this moment, Fang Xingjian had met up with Luo Haonan. When he entered Luo Haonan’s study, he saw the latter frowning deeply. Luo Haonan’s face filled with worry.
Fang Xingjian asked, “What is it? What is making Brother Luo so worried?”
Luo Haonan looked at Fang Xingjian and said while sighing, “Sigh, there have been changes in the north. That Divine Emperor seems to be making a move again.”
“Is that so?” Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered slightly. His clone had also gotten hold of some information in the north.
On Earth, other than East Asia where the Qiu Dao Alliance’s territories were located, the other parts of the world had mostly been taken over by the Divine Emperor.
After all, the robot armies that the Divine Emperor ruled were completely unaffected by the lifespan accelerations. So, large groups of them would head into humans’ cities. A large amount of resources was left unmanaged after the disaster, so they were taken over and swallowed up by the Divine Emperor, whose strength swelled up crazily as a result of this.
Although the Divine Emperor kept on growing stronger, the people under his rule continued to live the lives of slaves.
After all, the Divine Emperor had millions upon millions of robot armies under him. These robots did not need to eat or drink and would work hard without any complaints. Their efficiency was many times stronger than that of humans. Additionally, they would not complain or ask for salaries, and they were absolutely loyal.
Other than some unique jobs and a small number of the upper echelon, most of the humans under the Divine Emperor were reared like livestock in the commoner districts of some safety zones. They led the lives of slaves, eating nutrition paste and sleeping everyday with almost no form of entertainment at all.
Yet, in comparison to the millions upon millions of robot armies under the Divine Emperor, the Divine Emperor himself was still the most troublesome one.
Based on Fang Xingjian’s investigations, it was very likely that the Divine Emperor had uploaded a portion of his thoughts onto the robotic network. This meant that the speed at which his reaction and thoughts were transmitted could even be faster than Divine level experts.
If they really wanted to kill the Divine Emperor, they would probably need to destroy every single robot soldier across the entire Earth, as well as all of the Divine Emperor’s computers and servers.
In order to accomplish this, there was a need to cooperate with the Qiu Dao Alliance. Otherwise, Fang Xingjian would probably have to take a very long time to be able to accomplish this by himself.
The more troublesome thing was that Fang Xingjian’s clone recently discovered that the Divine Emperor had started to build spaceships. The Divine Emperor was starting to make plans to leave Earth, explore the universe, and set up colonies on other planets.
If the Divine Emperor were to succeed, then the Divine level experts on Earth would be the ones feeling troubled. Simultaneously, the Divine Emperor’s robot armies would no longer have any other reservations. Even if they wanted to gather all the resources on Earth and even destroy the Qiu Dao Alliance or even the entire planet, it would not be impossible for them.
Furthermore, in order to guide the parallel world’s history, it was impossible for the Divine level experts to act without any restraints.
Fang Xingjian contemplated silently, ‘It seems that Qiu Dao has also found out about the Divine Emperor’s unusual actions and is getting prepared to make his move.’
Luo Haonan said, “We’ll meet once in Qiu Dao City one day later. This time around, they also want to take the opportunity to meet you. Then we’ll discuss the plan to deal with the Divine Emperor.”
One day later, Fang Xingjian and Luo Haonan soared into the sky. A stream of light flashed behind Luo Haonan as he headed for Qiu Dao City, bringing Ah Li along.
When Fang Xingjian saw this, he seemed to be deep in thought. It was no wonder that they had arranged to meet one day later, rather than choosing to move at light speed. This was because they had to bring their disciples along.
It seemed that the Qiu Dao Alliance did not think that the situation was optimistic. The Heavenly Generals planned on bringing along their disciples and juniors to meet each other, leaving behind a leeway of sorts.
The three of them cut across the skies and passed through the clouds. A large area of clouds seethed, and it seemed as if there were the rumbling sounds of thunder.
Although they were flying with their martial wills and not moving at a speed akin to light speed, they were already moving at a very fast pace within the atmosphere.
In less than a minute, the three of them had arrived in Qiu Dao City.
This was a city that was situated underwater in the Eastern Sea. The vast space of the city was almost three times that of Litian City.
A layer of ocean blue glow encompassed the entire city, fending off the millions upon millions of tons of pressure from the seawater.
Fang Xingjian knew that this was a city that Qiu Dao had been using a portion of his martial will to sustain. If it was not because he had used his Divine level powers, it would be hard to make use of this safety region that was situated underwater even if it was discovered.
