Volume One, Chapter 28: The Happiness of the Rest of My Life Rests Entirely in Your Hands.

Although Gu Feng could already control it as freely as a heart demon, he still had not grasped the true essence of the power of reincarnation.

The harbor was in an uproar. Everyone was eager to distinguish himself and establish a legacy. Among the soldiers onshore, many officers had risen to prominence through the Campaign to Pacify the Rebellion. Now, with this unprecedented grand fleet setting sail, it was clearly a splendid opportunity to earn merit. Countless people secretly resolved that they would return from this voyage laden with achievements and bring glory to their ancestors.

“Tell me. Why have you been following me?” Ye Fei’s question was simple, almost teasing.

With great skill came great courage. Gu Feng actually wanted to see what this deity would ultimately become.

Who would have thought that the chief grand elder of the illustrious Wudang Sect would now seek to imprison himself in Hui Xian Valley of Shennongjia?

Chu Wangshu held the bead in his hand and discovered that it was no longer as cold as before. It was the Yin Corpse Pearl obtained from the White Stiff Corpse. The Yin energy within it had now been completely absorbed and refined by Hei Mengmeng, which was why its color had faded somewhat. Though it no longer contained any Yin energy, it remained an excellent embryo for crafting a magical bead.

“Yes, and it is an extremely powerful venomous creature, no weaker than the Red-Bone Scorpion or the Golden-Winged Phosphorus-Tailed Snake,” the mutated weevil said, its voice tinged with fear.

“Fine.” The Demon God nodded. He had absolute confidence in Bai Shuiqing where such matters were concerned.

“You don’t need to say anything. I’ll repeat what I said before: if Feng Qing achieves any respectable result in this competition, I’ll run naked right here. I’ve always been a man of my word. I may put things rather harshly, but whatever I say, I will definitely do.” Coach Shen spoke with complete conviction.

Now that this “artificial” balance was gone, things had returned to their natural course.

Altering human genes without authorization was a violation of the laws of species evolution, and such modifications could easily create instability. Fortunately, the technology Liu Ming possessed was sufficient to calculate any potential problems and make the necessary adjustments.

By then, almost everyone in Great Zhou knew that the officials were fully aware the emperor had seized the throne. According to the ancestral teachings of Great Zhou, they should have raised an army against him. Yet the alliance formed through the Mandate of Fortune was simply too tempting. It meant that not only the emperor, but they as well, could ensure that ghosts and gods were unable to harm them. They could even suppress ghosts and gods with a single word, relying on the authority of their offices.

The skeleton soldiers and corpse shamans had yet to climb to some of the higher places. The wyverns leaped out on their own.

Then he turned and left. Wen Yiming cast a curious glance at Ling Junsheng, who merely smiled without saying a word. Before long, Elder Geng returned, carrying a stack of documents.

“Understood. Just now, a strange fluctuation was detected from Dan Chenxi’s body. It is suspected to be an energy fluctuation originating from some form of dark matter.” Erxi’s voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ming’s mind.

As a result, Hu Yue and the others could only drive these people back before they could help restrain Ignis and inject the special medicine into her body.

Ancestor Baiwushan shuddered slightly. With a somewhat stiff smile, he said, “The reason I have lingered around Huanglong Market for so many days is actually that I was waiting for an old friend so that we could attend an exchange gathering together.”

When Wen Yiming saw the sincerity in Ling Tiancheng’s expression, he could only nod in agreement. Whether the Ling family was trying to win his loyalty or bind him to them through shares, they had shown him kindness by recognizing his abilities. He could not forget his roots.

“Do it.” Lin Yue seemed unable to hear anyone else’s voice. He walked before Chi Yao and spoke each word with absolute clarity.

Compared with inanimate objects, the greatest advantage of living creatures was that their combat strength was not fixed at a single level.

Come to think of it, in the future, Liu Yiyi really had separated from Zhou Dong for a time. Later, that fellow Zhou Dong had become quite ambitious and managed to win Liu Yiyi back. If things turned out that way, I could finally set my mind at ease.

Discontented as they were, they relied on the Pan family’s resources to cultivate and naturally understood that there was no such thing as taking money without doing any work. Just as the strongest middle-aged man was preparing to step forward and seize Chen Ning—

“All right. I’ll go back and think it over carefully. But if I truly have nowhere else to go, may I come here?” Wei Heng asked ingratiatingly.

Xuanyuan Wuhua still enjoyed considerable popularity and prestige. The moment he spoke, everyone looked at him with admiration.

The cashier wore an awkward expression. Cutting in line was naturally against the rules, but after glancing at the burly man with a face full of flesh, she sighed resentfully and said nothing.

As soon as he finished speaking, a certain resolute and sinister cunning suddenly flashed through Yi Zhixing’s pupils, while the corner of his mouth slowly curled into a dangerous smile.

“How could that possibly work? Leaving from there wouldn’t that be walking straight into a trap?” Xuanyuan Shiwen cried out angrily.

Zhi Lan straightened slightly and, raising her eyes, saw a gentle empress slowly approaching her with the melancholy palace servant at her side.

“Croak, croak, croak!” The repeated ominous cries seemed to be condemning him as well, yet Qin Tian became even more invigorated.

Still, no one paid him any attention. But Zhou Yang glanced toward Chen Xun and, after hesitating, came over anyway.

It was not merely true essence. The Demon God seemed to have been formed at the threshold of sixty thousand destinies, breaking through the limits imposed by the laws.

The flames of war began on November 10, 1908. That very day, the assault forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire breached the British defenses along the borders of four colonies and advanced toward their hinterlands.

Erebet, commander of the Italian naval fleet, and Rusdit, commander of the Austro-Hungarian naval fleet, promptly sent a telegram advising withdrawal to Bridget, the supreme commander of the Allied Expeditionary Fleet and commander of the British fleet.

“Hmph. That is difficult to say. It depends on how many more attacks of such power you can still unleash,” an aged voice drifted slowly from within the grand formation.

“It was indeed our discourtesy!” The head of the Zhao family immediately apologized, then instructed an elder to arrange guest rooms for Yang Chen and his family. For more exciting content, please visit the site.
