Chapter 871: If the Power Isn’t Strong Enough, Increase the Power!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ren Baqian had to admit that it sometimes made sense when an elder said that they had eaten more salt than anyone else had eaten rice.
Especially someone like Li Fu.
After roaming the world for 200 years, he had encountered innumerable wonders and experiences. He definitely knew more than any ordinary person.
Although the people back then were hindered by the agreement and weren’t supposed to leave behind a single word, many of them violated this agreement and left some messages for the future generations.
That person in the underground palace wrote it clearly. The human race was driven here. Although nothing was said about the foreign races, Ren Baqian guessed that what this person left behind had actually violated the agreement.
Some of the information Ren Baqian received from the herdsmen wasn’t allowed to be recorded down.
As for what would happen if someone violated the agreement… Ren Baqian would definitely be a dead man if it was on Earth!
However, it was hard to say in this world.
Given the past situation of that man, he probably felt resentful after being driven here. One could imagine the amount of anger he felt, and it was understandable that he left those messages.
At that time, other people might not have been able to leave so many things behind.
“How much do you know?” Ren Baqian asked as he looked at Li Fu.
“I should know everything. I accidentally damaged a few ancient tombs back then and found some messages that were left behind. Everyone left scattered records. At that time, I felt that the key part was missing. There were missing words in every sentence, but at the same time, clues for other records were left behind. I thought that I could find good stuff if I continued searching. It took me more than 20 years to find everything, and I didn’t expect to learn what had actually happened when I pieced all the information together!” Li Fu said resentfully.
He continued, “If it wasn’t for this, do you think that I would follow you here? From what I see, everyone here is of the human race! Yet, in the eyes of the others, you might be considered as a member of a foreign race!”
“Accidentally?” Ren Baqian laughed. “I didn’t expect this! Those thick brows and big eyes of yours…”
However, what Li Fu said was quite interesting. It seemed that a complete record of the past had been split up by several people and a few words were removed from each record. One wouldn’t be able to tell what it meant simply by looking at a single record.
It could only be figured out once all the split records were pieced together.
This was a relatively primitive and simple means of secrecy. After all, it was meant to let future generations understand what had happened. The purpose was different, so the means were naturally more obvious.
“Well, who hasn’t been young before?” Li Fu spat, looking a little dissatisfied. It seemed that he regretted spending more than 20 years searching for these things.
“What was written? Can you tell me?” Ren Baqian asked.
Li Fu fell silent for a moment, and there was uncertainty on his face.
He finally sighed after some time and asked, “Are you planning on going back after knowing about this?”
Then, Li Fu elaborated, “Let me tell you, I had this idea 100 years ago as well. Now, however, this idea is gone… This used to be barren land, and the human race had been inhabiting this region for thousands of years. It seems prosperous, but it’s in fact decaying. Those who left their graves behind wanted to understand this matter. When all the records were put together, there were three words at the end: ‘Don’t look back!’
If we go back, those foreign races will inevitably strike. How can the human race withstand their attacks without our ancient experts? This is will be a calamity for the human race! For the last 100 years, I haven’t entered the Sixty Thousand Mountains because of this!
It was only as my life drew close to the end that I decided to go there and take a look again. If I couldn’t find a way to ascend to heaven, I would find a cave in the Sixty Thousand Mountains when my life is about to end and live there forever!”
The reason that I dared not go there is due to not wanting to bring trouble to the human race!
I’m currently the world’s number one expert, but I’m not even comparable to the emperor’s generals back then. The human race used to be more than 100 times stronger, and the number of experts was countless. My level of strength is already considered pretty impressive, but what happened in the end? Even the emperor fell!
Do you really think that nobody else discovered these things over the years? They simply kept it to themselves without daring to tell others!”
Ren Baqian looked at Li Fu and had never expected to see him like this.
Moreover, he didn’t expect Li Fu to have such thoughts.
However, what Li Fu said was correct. How could no one have discovered this after so many years? How could Ren Baqian be the only smart and lucky one?
How many highly intelligent people could there have been over the past millennia?
None of them dared to go into the mountains.
Ren Baqian was different from them. They didn’t dare to go, but he dared!
What they feared were just the strong foreign races!
This winner of this fight simply depended on having more people and more experts! Their apprehension was well founded!
The Earth Wheel expert that Ren Baqian saw in that illusion was a soldier!
Currently, the empress’s 1,500 winged cavalry warriors already struck fear in the entire human realm. She would be able to conquer Great Xia and all three other nations if there were 10,000 of them.
Compared to the ancient era, what could 10,000 Earth Wheel experts do?
This was the reason why they didn’t dare to make a move!
But Ren Baqian dared!
If the foreign races dared to assemble a great army, Big Ivan[1.Big Ivan: The largest nuclear bomb] would teach them a lesson!
No matter how many of them there were, he didn’t have to worry about the weaker soldiers.
Even if the Cardinal Heaven experts could escape the explosion of a ten kiloton miniature nuclear warhead, they definitely wouldn’t be able to escape a megaton warhead. If that still didn’t work, there were still 100 megaton warheads. At worst, he could simply blow up the entire Sixty Thousand Mountains to pixels!
Of course, this was the last resort.
Ren Baqian was still looking forward to going there and breaking through to the Spirit Wheel level. He wanted to break through the Heaven and Earth region and live up to 1,000 years as well!
He was lacking in nuclear warheads at the moment, but this problem could definitely be resolved.
As such, what he lacked at the moment was power that could be grown without limit.
Ren Baqian knew that it was currently useless to convince Li Fu. It was time to let him see the effects of a nuclear warhead!
This thing would speak for itself.
“I’ll show you something in seven days! You will presumably have a new way of thinking!”
Li Fu looked at him, shook his head, and replied, “You probably don’t know how all outside objects become a joke when you possess a certain level of strength!”
“In a way, yes. However, what you are afraid of is that they have the power to kill people. If I display the power to kill them, would they still dare to touch us?” Ren Baqian chuckled.
They definitely wouldn’t dare. If a nuclear warhead plowed that land, apart from those top experts, ordinary people wouldn’t survive.
Could they still repopulate an entire race?
However, it was impossible to rely on this method to allow the human race to take a spot in that world.
In this world, nuclear warheads could only be used as killing weapons, not as deterrent weapons.
Otherwise, if the enemies spent years to fully understand nuclear warheads or if they completely destroyed the warheads, then the human race would have nowhere to run to.
Therefore, the function of these things was to immediately plow when the war began and to blow up as many people as possible!
“Are you dreaming?” Li Fu stared intently at Ren Baqian.
“You’ll know in a few days. At the same time, I can also give the students a good demonstration.”
“I’m interested to see what you can come up with!” Li Fu said with a weird expression before disappearing in a flash.
Ren Baqian leaned against his chair and held his chin. He currently had a 200-ton miniature nuclear warhead in his possession.
Even though this thing would be enough to scare the others, it wasn’t enough to scare Li Fu!
It had to have a larger impact so that people could immediately feel confident after witnessing it.
If the power wasn’t strong enough, increase the power!
With Ren Baqian’s strength of about 1,000 kilograms, he should be able to bring back a ten kiloton nuclear warhead?
Little Boy weighed about four tons back then. However, so many years had passed, and technology had progressed. Nuclear warheads had gotten smaller!
