Luo Fei wasn’t a coward, nor was he afraid of dying. However, he really wanted to go this time. They were good at battles that involved mecha, but there wouldn’t be any here. This battle was with the ancient martial arts, to which they were late bloomers. The could fight it out if it was important to Lear, but the current situation didn’t call for that. It wasn’t going to do any good for their situation.
Luo Fei and Lear both understood this, which was why they endured it even though they had been humiliated.
Lear knew that his comprehension of the inner universe was just a matter of time. This was just a direction. He could do it, but he didn’t have the time. How was he going to compete with others even if he were to be enlightened now?
Candidates of the Son of Saint?
This was simply a joke. He thought too highly of himself, thinking he could use the Saint to overturn things.
He was too naive, but he wouldn’t be Lear if he were to give up here. Lear was sure of one thing — the Saint could grant him the power he desired. His homework was to think about how he was going to obtain it.
Therefore, he wouldn’t leave!
“Luo Fei, I have no other choice.”
Earth had no more value to him. Of course, he could still go there if he just wanted to live his days out comfortably. However, the Solar System wasn’t the same as it was with Ye Bingwen as their representative. Not only that, they had obtained the support of the Moon and Mars, which meant that Ye Bingwen was a sure bet for the next president of the Solar System. The Locks family had no place left.
Lear didn’t care about the growing gap in strength between him and Wang Zheng. However, the difference in their influence was the thorn in his heart. It mattered no more to Lear whether or not Aina and Wang Zheng were still together. Lear could never catch up.
Achilles and Lie Xin might surrender, Aragorn perhaps would rather die than surrender, but Lear, Lear would never die, nor would he surrender. He was the strongest.
Luo Fei’s lips trembled, but he didn’t say anything else. It was like what Lear had said. This was a route of no return. Moreover, it was easy to enter this place, but not so easy to leave. Would the Saint let them leave after learning so much of their secrets?
In the temple of the Oracle Star.
The Great Elder was praying when footsteps rang out. He stood up, his shiny, gray hair accompanied by his rosy cheeks. It was difficult to tell his true age.
“Master, everything is being done according to your instructions.”
The one who spoke was the Thirteenth Elder. He was the confidant of the Great Elder.
The Great Elder nodded and paused, pondering something.
“Master, everything is in your control. We might not be able to bring everyone to the Oracle Star, but the scale should be enough to meet the requirements of the prophecy. The other Elders are very excited. They will not be dragging their feet on this matter,” the Thirteenth Elder said respectfully. A half-truth of a prophecy was necessary to obtain the cooperation of the other Elders to deploy such a huge scheme.
The Elder nodded. “Wang Zheng, Meng Tian, Xie Yuxin, Aina, and Lear are the five sacrifices named by the Prophet. These five people have to be here.”
“Yes, Master. Meng Tian, Xie Yuxin, and Lear are here already. We will definitely get Wang Zheng and Aina here.” Meng Tian and Xie Yuxin weren’t difficult to get. Of course, they didn’t expect the Galaxy Military College to send them on an expedition. That didn’t matter though, it would only waste a bit of time.
Lear was the easiest. He was part of the Saint anyway and would come when called. Of course, this was a secret that only the Great Elder and himself knew.
The most difficult were Wang Zheng and Aina. Wang Zheng was under the watchful gaze of many and Aina was the Princess of Aslan. Needless to say, the consequences of their disappearances would cause a huge commotion. Therefore, they couldn’t be touched unless things were certain. It was now time.
“Master, I have a question,” the Thirteenth Elder asked.
The Great Elder nodded for him to continue. “Will the Oracle be on these five sacrifices? Why don’t we capture them and experiment? Perhaps the efficiency would be higher this way. We have the greatest technology anyway.”
The Great Elder smiled. “Would the Oracle be the Oracle if it could be obtained so easily?”
The Thirteenth Elder was taken aback. “This disciple is ignorant.”
“Haha, it’s not your fault. We are searching for the power of the heavens. This inheritance is definitely not on you, nor me. I must first be cautious if I want to obtain it. You have to know the form and signs of this power first. This opportunity will only come once in a few centuries. I cannot miss you, which is why I prefer to go slow and steady,” the Great Elder explained.
Fate could be changed by taking advantage of and taking control of the situation. There was also a key factor at play here.
“How’s the experiment?”
“It’s going very well. We’ve obtained a more mature technology. The only problem now is that the human experiments have all failed as of now. Simply put, we need a highly active body with tyrannical power and strong survival instincts,” the Thirteenth Elder said.
“Young, ambitious, tenacious, strong, and willing,” the Great Elder said.
“Yes, Master. We also have to overcome fear. We’ve summed up the failures in the past. Our powers aren’t weak, but you know as well. It will become a monster even if we were to succeed. This fear is despondent. However, if we don’t tell the person, he would be smashed by the fear of blood thirst when we fuse the genes. It would also be a failure then,” the Thirteenth Elder said. “Master… I’m willing to try if it’s possible.”
The Great Elder shook his head. “No, we are all old.”
The Thirteenth Elder didn’t respond. He was already over sixty years old. It was impossible to change the aged genes; therefore, a young man was preferred.
“Call him here,” the Great Elder suddenly said.
The Thirteenth Elder bowed out respectfully.
The Great Elder’s Skylink flickered. A person’s particulars flashed on the screen. From his birth, growth, until now.
This pawn had been growing well. He could finally be put to use. It was important to go along the path of heaven’s will. However, he would only be crushed if they were to comply fully with heaven’s will. This was absolutely not ideal.
Some variables would have to be sown and grown to overcome the will of heaven.
This variable had to be opposing.
The opposing force of humans, the other existence in the universe, was the Zerg, the Zerg from the Abyss!
Some combinations were naturally against nature. However, the Oracle would definitely become more obvious with this sort of stimulation. Only then would he have the opportunity to make the Oracle his own in its infancy!
The human body was just too limiting!
