“Hehe, Sister Zining, you know.” Hong Dali waggled his eyebrows excitedly. ” Let’s begin now?”
“Humph, if I waited for you, the cucumber greens would have turned cold.” Ji Zining huffed. “It has already started. Just wait. Before long, my obedient children will form about fifty King Zergs.”
More than fifty King Zergs! What did that mean?
That meant that just depending on these King Zergs, they would be able to go up against a group consisting of more than 100 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers!
If they included the Golden Emperor Beetle, it meant that Hong Dali had enough clout to negotiate with the High Nobles’ fleet.
“We are kind of able to negotiate.” Ji Zining finally looked at Little Bai Hechou. “If he had succeeded in merging with the Golden Emperor Beetle, the Golden Emperor Beetle would have the ability of the Soul Stone now. Sigh.”
It was no wonder she felt it was a pity.
Why did Golden Emperor Beetle want to merge with humans? It was because, if the human had an ability from a Soul Stone, the Golden Emperor Beetle, too, would have the Soul Stone’s ability! If a Golden Emperor Beetle had the ability of a Star Soul Stone, the explosive stars that it created… Would they not be as big as a planet?!
If that was the case, how powerful would it be?!
When everyone thought of that, they all shuddered.
If that were the case, the universe would probably be destroyed…
“Ahahah, haha, don’t fret over these details…” Hong Dali laughed awkwardly. “It was an accident, an accident…”
It was too late to say anything now anyway, so Ji Zining merely sighed and did not dwell on it anymore.
…
In the vast universe, thick swarms of Zergs were gathered in groups. These Zergs, from the smaller, 3-4 meters tall to the biggest, 50 meters tall, were the main force of the Zergs, the Mutated Zergs!
Right then, the mutated Zergs were killing each other!
Two by two, they matched up and fought. The winner lived and the loser died. When all the Mutated Zergs had fought, the winners ate the losers and grew in size. When they were done growing, they continued fighting!
Just like that, as the quantity of the Mutated Zergs decreased, the quality of the Zerg forces increased.
There were enough Health attribute gems on New Earth now. Hence, all the Mutated Zergs were killing each other, not one was left. As for those Sky Knights who had fused, they supervised from a distance in space and reported the latest situation whenever necessary.
The population of the Mutated Zergs continued to decrease.
40 million… 20 million…
5 million… 1.25 million…
700,000… 300,000…
10,000… 20,000…
2,000… 1,000…
Another ten hours had passed. There were only four Mutated Zergs left standing.
King Zergs were once again born!
Each of them was at least 10,000 meters wide and covered by a terrifying, black scaly carapace. Gigantic black longhorns rested atop their foreheads. Six enormous wings that spanned for over eight thousand meters long were attached to their backs!
They had six legs, each one over six hundred meters in girth!
They were really not that big in the universe. In fact, they were just insignificant beings. Compared to the space carriers made by humans, they were not even up to scratch in terms of size.
But they were very powerful!
Other than the most terrifying Golden Emperor Beetle, the King Zergs were the strongest fighters the Zergs could mass produce!
…
On New Earth.
The mysterious man returned to his office. He thought about it, then got up again and left the room. He came to a small room and gently knocked on the door. “Wu Di, can I come in?”
“Big Boss…” Soon, the room door opened. Wu Di looked at the mysterious man who was standing at the door and said, “Big Boss, you’re here…”
Only a day had passed, but Wu Di had lost a lot of weight. It was obvious his mind was greatly conflicted.
“Wu Di, how did you become like this?” Looking at the white hair on Wu Di’s temples, the mysterious man’s face was distressed. “Good brother, haven’t you thought through that matter yet?”
“Big Boss, I…” Wu Di sighed softly. “This matter is very important, I really… I really dare not say it casually.”
“I know.” The mysterious man walked into the room and sat down on the sofa, then said, “Let me ask you, this matter, is it related to the mess caused by Hong Dali this time?” The mysterious man had spent a lot of time thinking about it these two days.
This happened to Wu Di just after he found out about what Hong Dali did. Moreover, based on his anxious appearance, he should also be worried about the safety of New Earth. Otherwise, with the prosperous progress of New Earth, he would not need to be so conflicted.
“Yes.” As expected, Wu Di nodded. “It’s precisely because it has to do with the matter at hand, that’s why I am so anxious.”
“I knew it.” The mysterious man patted Wu Di’s shoulder forcefully. “You are my lifelong brother and definitely will not betray me. Look here, Wu Di, think about it. If you can tell me your reason, perhaps there may be hope for New Earth. However, if you are unable to do so… if New Earth is unable to hold out, we will be turned to ashes. Even if someone finds out about your secret then, it will no longer be of any use, right?”
“I know that, but…” Wu Di shook his head. “But these are words were passed down from my Wu Family Ancestors. It has been passed down verbally, and we have been sworn to secrecy. Otherwise, my family may be in danger of being wiped out!”
“Wiped out? Hehe, wiped out?” The mysterious man laughed, then said, “Wu Di, how can you be so muddle-headed now? If something really horrible happened, your family might be wiped out. But if you tell me about it, and if it is really useful, we might be able to save all the people on New Earth. How can you not know what is more important now?”
“I…” Wu Di clenched his fists tight.
How was it possible that he did not understand what the mysterious man was saying?
The biggest question was, what he knew might affect many things. The outcome of something like that was hard to anticipate. Otherwise, with his usual courage, how was it possible that he still could not come to a conclusion?
However, what the mysterious man said was very true.
If he did not say it now, and New Earth was really blown up and turned to dust, everything would be too late.
“Wu Di, look.” The mysterious man knew that Wu Di’s mind was in turmoil. He stood up, walked to the window, looked up at the starry sky, and mumbled. “Although Dali has caused a lot of trouble, he has shown no fear. He only knows that he should try his best. Everyone has come together with a common goal, to nullify the threat. Even the Zergs which used to be mankind’s biggest enemy, have chosen to stand on our side. I know that the Zergs are now killing each other in order to deal with our enemies, striving to produce the second strongest Zerg unit after the Golden Emperor Beetle, the King Zerg.”
“Everyone is trying their best. But you, my closest brother, are still at odds with yourself.” The mysterious man sighed and said, “How will you face all the people who trust you in your current state? How will you face the loyal soldiers who are trying their best to learn how to fly spacecrafts and getting ready to fight?”
“Big Boss, I…” After listening to the mysterious man, Wu Di gritted his teeth.
How would he not understand what the mysterious man was saying? Everyone was trying their best, even the Zergs! And he, an Earthling…
“Okay, I will tell you!” Wu Di finally made up his mind. “But Boss, you can only help me analyze it, and before I decide what to do, you must not tell anyone else about it. Otherwise, I do not know what will happen.”
“Okay, I promise you!” nodded the mysterious man.
Wu Di was so hesitant to tell anyone. What kind of mysterious reason could it be?
“I will tell you now, then.” Wu Di worked hard to sort out the words, and then slowly said, “In our Wu family, there have been words that were passed down by mouth. This sentence is not recorded in any document, but there will be one child in every generation of the Wu family who will know it. And in my generation, the one who knows is me.
“Actually, I did not think much of it at first, but my father wanted me to memorize it, so I did. I did not think more about what it meant.
“Until now. When Dali made such a huge mess of things, I finally thought of it.”
“There’s such a thing?” The mysterious man frowned. “What exactly did Uncle say? He wanted you to make me step down?”
“Not you,” said Wu Di grimly, “but the current supreme leader of the state. It just happens to be you, Big Boss.”
“Then, these words…” The mysterious man was getting more and more curious.
“My father said,” Wu Di said, word by word, “If one day, Gods whom we are unable to deal with attack us, then, the only way to victory would be if a descendant of the Hong Family becomes our Supreme Leader.”
The mysterious man was stupefied by Wu Di’s words. After all, his words were just too weird. Gods they could not deal with? What were those? A descendant of the Hong Family should be the supreme leader, what did that mean?
“These celestial beings are referring to…” asked the mysterious man.
“At first, I was curious about what it meant. Later, after Hong Dali created such a furor, I understood.” Wu Di said slowly, “Gods, celestial beings or enlightened beings who are able to fly the skies or walk the land. This is what it appears to mean. But if we were to delve deeper, it means… it is highly possible that it is referring to extraterrestrial life! That would be the High Nobles this time!”
High Nobles! The words passed down by Wudi’s Family were referring to the High Nobles?
“Well, it may not be referring just to High Nobles.” The mysterious man stroked his chin. “It could be just referring to all beings from space in general. Anyway, it’s possible that aliens are celestial beings whom we are unable to deal with.”
“That’s what I think.” Wu Di nodded. “The next part of it should be obvious then. Now the aliens, or the celestial beings, have come, and we are unable to deal with them, or rather, we are having a hard time dealing with them. What we have to do next is get a Hong Family descendant to become the supreme leader. Who is the most reliable in the Hong family now? There can only be one, Hong Weiguo!”
