Chapter 1205: The Method for the Reverse (Part Two)

The conversation between these two people gave this scroll indisputable convincing power. The Human Emperor of the North and the Continental Martial Saints were both standing at the peak of the world. Since these two agreed that the scroll was real, all doubts evaporated in the minds of other human masters.

After thinking for a while, Fei thought of something and continued to ask while looking at old Pope Stabila, "According to the content of this scroll, the Polluters were crushing the God Clan and Demon Clan. It is hard to believe that the Polluters were defeated."

Everyone nodded as well.

Seeing that one-sided battle, it was hard to believe that the God Clan and Demon Clan used a method to turn the desperate situation around.

Stabila sighed, "This is the terrifying aspect of the God Clan and Demon Clan. Even though they were severely beaten, they still had their own hidden cards. After all, they were the overlords of the continent and the masters of this space. In the end, the Lord of the God Clan and the Lord of the Demon Clan ditched their grudges and worked together. With their godly and demonic blood, they awakened the Saint Item Set of Creation that the God of Creation left behind. Then, they ignited their core energies and defeated the Polluters with the help of the power of this world."

While saying that, Stabila took out another red scroll.

Then, a red mist came out of this scroll as well and created another rough and blurry screen of light.

The visuals that were shown were completely different from before.

While eye-piercing energy flames burned, two figures, one white and one black, stood on a throne that seemed vague in the high sky. Even though the screen was blurry, people could tell that one of the two figures was a handsome male while the other was a beautiful female. These two held hands and controlled a few weapons that couldn't be clearly seen.

The terrifying energy flames surged like ocean waves in a storm, and the Polluters were like sand grains in a desert. When these enemies touched the flames, they instantly dried-up and collapsed before turning into ashes and disappearing.

The situation was reversed!

The holy light wiped though the continent, and all Polluters were destroyed by it, leaving behind a severely damaged continent.

When the last Polluter disappeared on the continent, the surging energy flames quickly dimmed.

Now, the male and female in the sky could be clearly seen.

They were good-looking and unparalleled.

The male seemed to be about 20 years old, and he was a dashing figure with long black hair, stealing the light from the sun. The female was also in her prime, and her long black hair contrasted with her jade-like fair skin. Even the most exaggerated descriptors of beauty couldn't capture 0.01 percent of her appearance. She felt like a pure silver moon to others.

When the viewers saw these two figures' faces, they were struck and felt inferior while praising in their minds.

These two figures were the perfect partner for each other.

"We finally defeated the enemies?" a tired voice filled with vicissitude came out of the male figure's mouth.

"Yeah, the Polluters on the continent are finally wiped out." The female's voice sounded soft and gentle, containing an indescribable sense of inspiration.

These two looked up into the sky at the same time, and the screen suddenly blinked and became blurry.

After a few seconds, the screen returned to normal, and four to five light beams flew out of these two figures' bodies. Some of the light beams disappeared into the sky, some of them dashed into the ground, and some of them vanished into the ocean.

"Humans, we hope that you… won't make the same mistake…" While these two figures sighed, many thin cracks abruptly appeared on their bodies.

Like dried-up eggshells, they cracked, and their fragments flew into the sky.

It seemed like only their thin skin was left in this world; all their organs, bones, muscles, and blood had already disappeared.

Chapter 1206: There Is Only One Person in the Whole World (Part One)

"They are the Lord of the God Clan and the Lord of the Demon Clan. They were the two most powerful figures on the continent during the Mythical Era. These two forcefully summoned and used the Saint Item Set of Creation with their godly and demonic blood, depleting all their core energies and flesh. Even though they were peak supreme gods, only their skin was left. Aside from them, more than 20 supreme gods sacrificed themselves to provide energy to the Saint Item Set of Creation…" Stabila sighed and said, "This is why they only made this decision when they were forced into the most desperate situation. Of course, the hatred and grudges between the God Clan and Demon Clan made it hard for them to work together, and the continent also fell too fast. These were all factors."

Everyone felt a sense of loss at this moment.

When seeing the pair of unparalleled male and female turning into tens of millions of pieces and flying away, Fei suddenly sensed an indescribable pain as if he had just lost loved ones who were extremely close to him.

Especially that gentle female; she gave Fei a mystical sense of familiarity.

"So, it is really the God Clan and Demon Clan that obtained the final victory!"

"Oh! After the collapse of the Mythical Era, human civilization only got to continue due to luck!"

"Indeed. Near the end of the war, the powerful affiliated races such as the elves, dwarfs, and dragons had the power to create their own small worlds to hide, and even the orcs escaped the continent. Only humans couldn't escape due to the overall weak strength, yet this allowed our race to obtain the last bit of hope and the control of the entire continent!"

"With 1,000 years of rest, humans dominated the continent."

Everyone sighed and talked among themselves.

Fei's heart that had been in his throat since he learned about the Polluters' existence also dropped back into his chest. He felt relieved as if a mountain was shifted off his shoulders.

For a long time now, the Polluters existed in Fei's mind like a nightmare that he couldn't get rid of, giving him a ton of pressure.

Even after he became the ruler of the Northern Region Empire and had the strength to rival the Holy Church, he didn't feel relieved. When he defeated the goblins and killed Platini, he didn't let go of the breath that he was holding.

Everything was good now. The Sword of Damocles that was hanging above Fei's head finally completely disappeared.

Now, it was clear that the Polluters, the imaginary enemies on Fei's mind, were completely wiped out more than 1,000 years ago.

The so-called world-ending catastrophe wouldn't reappear on the continent.

Although Fei was still a little confused about a few small things, he chose to trust Stabila.

The scrolls that this genial old man showed were from the Mythical Era more than 1,000 years ago, and the red mist was also a type of power from that era. It was a type of power that humans couldn't possess; it should be the core energy of gods and demons, and others couldn't mimic it.

Suddenly, Fei felt like he lost the target that he was working hard toward.

This man was relieved!

The other people in the area also looked relaxed with relieved expressions on their faces.

At this moment, people's attention shifted back onto the conflict between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church. From the Human Emperor of the North and Pope Stabila's attitude, everyone saw the hope of peace in the future.

Fei thought so as well.

Since the Polluters no longer existed, the future expansion of the Northern Region Empire was meaningless.

Chapter 1206: There Is Only One Person in the Whole World (Part Two)

Fei wasn't passionate about control and influence, and the demonized Holy Church seemed to be going back onto the right track with Stabila's return. Now, the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church didn't have strong points of conflict as their ideologies were now similar.

However, the future relationship between these two giant forces was still uncertain.

"In fact, except for using this opportunity to resolve and redeem the mistakes and sins that the Holy Church committed during Blatter and Platini's ruling, giving an answer to everyone on the continent, the core reason why I used Your Majesty and the Continental Martial Saint's influence to pull all the top-tier human masters to the City of San Siro is to analyze and explain what exactly happened during the Mythical Era. Especially the reminder that the Lord of the God Clan and the Lord of the Demon Clan gave humans before they died; I think that phrase is critical to the current situation on the continent. I hope that all wars and killings could stop today, and I hope that humans could value the right of survival on the Azeroth Continent. We need to unite and prevent the same thing from happening. After all, there are many dimensions, and perhaps invaders like the Polluters might come. By then, we need to have the power to guard and protect the land that we love." While saying that, Stabila seemed a little excited. Lights flashed on his face, and he looked extremely holy.

After a short pause, he continued, "I hope that the collapse of the God Clan and Demon Clan will make us reflect on ourselves. My goal is simple. The humans on the continent need a centralized command that has true authority. The situation where the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church rival each other with many big empires struggling to survive in the middle isn't the peace that I look forward to. It also isn't a great option."

Stabila's voice echoed in the sky, and everyone in the area was shocked.

The atmosphere that had already calmed down instantly became intense again due to the last sentence that Stabila said.

"What does Stabila mean? One centralized command? Ending the situation where the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church rival each other?"

"Does Stabila want to conquer the Northern Region Empire? Does he want the Human Emperor of the North to bow to him? Does he want to get back the control of the [Black-Cloth Shrine]? Does he want to make the Holy Church the only human force?"

"This is… such a huge ambition!"

Some people vaguely felt like the precedent of the Mythical Era and what Stabila said seemed like a better option.

"But will the Human Emperor of the North accept this provocative demand?"

"Will this young ruler easily let go of his powerful force?"

Everyone's gaze landed on Fei.

Right now, Fei was calmly looking at Stabila and trying to figure out what this old man meant. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Since Your Holiness said this, perhaps you already have a great idea about how to unite the humans on the continent?"

Stabila nodded as Fei expected, and he said, "That is right. The perfect solution is the Holy Church and the Northern Region Empire peacefully merging into one. It is the situation that I look forward to. There is only one person in the whole world who is qualified, powerful enough, and prestigious enough to do this." After saying that, Stabila smiled and took a short pause before continuing, "And that person is you."

"Me?" Fei was shocked.

Chapter 1207: The Future (Part One)

"That is right. You." Stabila gave an answer that surprised everyone.

While everyone looked at him in shock, Stabila smiled and said, "Although I only escaped from the dungeon below Sicily Island about half a year ago, I already know a lot about you, Child. In fact, I know more about you than most of your followers in the Northern Region Empire. I know that you were born as a [God's Favorite Child] and have the purest golden holy power, allowing you to become the Bishop of the [Black-Cloth Shrine]. According to the [Code of God] of the Holy Church, the bishops of all shrines are qualified to fight for the Throne of the Pope on the Holy Mountain at Sicily Island. Therefore, you are able to become the pope. Also, looking from the facts, the [Black-Cloth Shrine] is getting more and more powerful and full of vitality. In addition, with your supreme strength, I can't think of another person who can fight for the Throne of the Pope with you."

Fei nodded subconsciously.

Sudden understanding also dawned on Batistuta, and he figured out what this old man meant.

Then, Stabila continued, "At the same time, you are the ruler of the Northern Region Empire, and your decisions will dictate the actions of the entire Northern Region Empire. If you are both the Pope of the Holy Church and the Emperor of the Northern Region Empire, the Church and the State can perfectly become one, turning into the most powerful force on the continent. By then, the Azeroth Continent can be united at your will."

Now, everyone realized what this old pope meant. He wanted to… retire and give his position to Human Emperor Alexander of the North!

Without a question, this was a shocking idea!

If this proposal went through and became the reality, the historical moment of the continent uniting as one would arrive soon instead of being a distant dream.

The Human Emperor of the North's unique identity allowed this crazy proposal to be extremely realistic and actionable.

People were shocked by this proposal, and they also admired old Pope Stabila's generosity and kindness.

In this world, not everyone could easily let go of the control of a giant force such as the Holy Church. In order to make this decision, Stabila had to have the wisdom that allowed him to see through all vicissitudes of life and the attitude of placing the greater good before personal interests.

At this moment, Stabila's old and ugly body looked extremely holy.

This man was going to become one of the greatest sages in human history.

If this man really decided to make this choice, then Stabila would completely change the future of humans, and he would be recorded in the history books.

However, was there really such a great human?

Some people were doubtful.

"Why not yourself?" Fei was surprised, and he asked Stabila, trying to test the latter, "You are the previous Bishop of the [Black-Cloth Shrine] and the current Pope of the Holy Church. If a sage like you lead all humans on the continent, the future might be better."

"I had thought about that. Many years ago, I did have the ambition of becoming the first human to control the entire continent," Stabila sighed, "However, you can tell that fate isn't on my side. Being imprisoned inside the dungeon below Sicily Island completely changed me. While this experience helped me see through all the influence and power in the mortal world, it also made me ancient. I only have about half a year left, but you, my child, is like a rising sun; you have a ton of time to create endless glories and many miracles. You are the only suitable candidate." Stabila sounded extremely firm and decisive.

Chapter 1207: The Future (Part Two)

After saying this one more time, everyone realized that this old Pope wasn't acting but was truly selfless.

Also, the explanation about his pending death got rid of the last bit of doubt in those people who were more negative and were naturally conspiracy theorists.

An old man who was about to die no longer needed to fight for the power and influence that he couldn't hold.

At this moment, Fei also completely believed this old man and understood the true reason why the latter organized this meeting that pulled the continent's attention.

Stabila spent a ton of energy on trying to get everyone to come here, used a long time to tell the stories about the Mythical Era, and took out those two scrolls and the corpse of a Polluter. All of that was for the unity of the human race.

Only when faced with the bloody and cruel reality, those people who were only concerned about their own interests would be moved, making the continent becoming one a possible reality.

What happened here today would be spread to every corner on the continent through these top-tier human masters.

Perhaps a new era would arrive on the continent after the meeting of these three magnates, and humans would receive unprecedented glory.

Even Continental Martial Saint Maradona who always joked around looked expectant, no longer teasing Stabila.

"I have about half a year left. Before I die, I can arrange everything for you and get prepared. I will clean up Blatter and Platini's henchmen and reorganize the Holy Church. Child, I hope that you can take care of the rest in this half a year. Although my plan is in place, all kinds of obstacles and resistances will appear on the path of implementation. I hope that I can see you walk up the Five-Colored Godly Staircase and sit on the Throne of the Pope on the Holy Mountain," Stabila sounded passionate and considerate.

Fei thought for a moment and nodded earnestly, not pretending to be humble or putting up any formalities.

Even though Fei wasn't interested in the influence and power in the mortal world, he looked forward to the resolve of conflict between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy church as well as the Holy Church's redemption and its return to its clean roots. He wouldn't act to try to make himself look humble or desireless.

…

The shocking meeting between the three magnates at the City of San Siro ending with a result that no one expected.

Soon, the result of this meeting was publicized on the Azeroth Continent. The future projection of the merge between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church made some forces happy while other forces became anxious.

For those empires and forces that were on the side of Blatter and Platini such as Barcelona and Juventus, this was a nightmare. They already formed intense grudges with the Northern Region Empire. If they lost the Holy Church as their supporter, it was easy to imagine what fate awaited them.

Except for those forces, many independent empires also became worried about their future.

If the Human Emperor of the North wanted to unite the continent, then he would conquer all empires using either soft or hard methods. Those independent empires would be targeted without a question.

Of course, those royal families, noble forces, and masters who decided to follow the Human Emperor of the North early on became extremely excited about this future. The more powerful that Fei became, the better it was for them! Their status would be firmer, and they would be more influential.

For a moment, all kinds of undercurrents were surging on the continent.

Maradona and Stabila went to the headquarters of the Holy Church on Sicily Island to take care of the complicated issues.

On the other hand, Fei returned to the Northern Region Empire.

All wars disappeared on the continent in a short time.

Chapter 1208: Earth (Part One)

After meeting old Pope Stabila, Fei's life became easier with a lot of relaxation.

Without the pressure from the Polluters, Fei was able to pull a large portion of his time that he used to spend on cultivation and managing the empire and put it toward accompanying his wives and loved ones. During this time, Fei toured all the famous destinations on the continent and enjoyed the scenery with his lovers, compensating them for what they missed out on while he cultivated in seclusion.

Although the merging of the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church attracted the entire continent's attention, causing many undercurrents to surge, it wasn't something that Fei had to worry about. The Northern Region Empire had its giant and complete operation system, and tens of thousands of officials could solve most of the issues for Fei.

In the last month or so, Fei was with his three lovers every day.

[TL Note: I think the author had a typo here. The original text is Fei with his two wives, but I think it doesn't fit the context since from prior chapters, it was clear that Elena and Angela accepted Paris and even invited her to go on their personal trips. Therefore, I have made the correction here.]

The four of them disguised themselves and took on many identities. One day, they would be inside the Southern Region, and they would appear in the Western Region the next day. Their movements were unpredictable, and they traveled to all the famous places on the continent, enjoying their time together.

When they sometimes encountered unjust incidents, they would stand out and help, restoring justice and performing heroic acts.

Of course, Fei didn't forget to mimic the ancient emperor in China in some fields. By traveling in disguise, he was able to secretly observe and check how disciplined and uncorrupt the base-level officials of the Northern Region Empire were. The results of Fei's 'inspections' were mostly satisfactory.

Time always passes by fast when people are having fun.

In the recent few days, a strange phenomenon has been happening.

Fei began to have a mythical feeling. He felt like a mysterious call was repeatedly sounding by his ears. It was sometimes vague, but it was impatient and anxious during other times. It gave Fei a sense of familiarity.

However, even with Fei's current strength, he couldn't clearly capture the source of this call.

"What is going on? How come I feel like someone is asking for my help from afar, yet I can't detect where this person is."

As a result, Fei became anxious and restless as well.

That night, Fei completely consumed the various masses of core energies that he obtained from the goblin masters in the Southern Region. He had comprehended all the foreign power and turned it into his own. Now, his degree of fusion with the miraculous grand godly realm had reached 67 percent.

Level 9 Godly King Realm!

Fei almost stood on the peak of power on the Azeroth Continent, and no one could rival him.

During this night, Fei and his three lovers returned to Sky City and ended this fun trip.

Fei started to handle some of the small yet important matters.

The emperor first arrived at the former Capital of Anji Empire, now one of the headquarters of the military districts of the Northern Region Empire. He appeared underground and strengthened the godly blood chains on remaining seals eggs that weren't broken; there were about 100 of them. Then, he used his great power to move the last few seal eggs that were transformed into arsenals that had different speeds of time.

Only about a year passed on the Azeroth Continent since these arsenals were created, but several hundred years passed inside these seal eggs. The huge difference in the speed of time allowed the Northern Region Empire to secret create, store, and develop powerful magic items with a magic civilization that this era couldn't imagine!

Chapter 1208: Earth (Part Two)

With the current strength of the Northern Region Empire, it could take down the Holy Church within about half a year. However, Fei didn't want to wage any more wars. Now that there was a peaceful way to resolve the conflicts on the continent, he wanted to avoid all possible cases where people were going to bleed and die.

Under this overarching setting, Cain and Akara shifted the focus of their magic research from magic weaponry manufacturing to the breakthroughs of magic theories, and they returned to the Mad Scientists' Laboratory in the mysterious room which floated in the void.

With the help of Fei's godly laws, this laboratory that was only about 100 square meters expanded to over 1,000 square meters. This space was meticulously organized and sectioned into close to 100 small laboratories.

The golden skeleton that once stood in the laboratory was proved to be the remains of the Dwarf Clan's battle god, and that terrifying giant ax was named [Lord of the Dwarfs – Portland's Roar].

A while ago when Fei advanced into the Godly King Realm, he was able to approach this skeleton. After studying it for a while, he returned the skeleton and the giant ax to the Dwarf-Gnome Alliance.

This action instantly won him the friendships from the dwarfs and gnomes.

This was why the Dwarf-Gnome Alliance chose to stand with the Northern Region Empire on Bali Island back then. Before the unity call at Bali Island, the Northern Region Empire already secretly formed an alliance with this force.

Fei spent three days in Mad Scientists' Laboratory.

Under the support of Cain and Akara's new magic theories, especially the new spatial magic theories, Fei combed through his godly-king-level laws, again and again, trying to grasp that ultimate secret by trial-and-error.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, Fei completely comprehended the law of space, a magic principle known as [Barrier] on the Azeroth Continent.

At this moment, Fei finally clearly captured the vague yet anxious call that he had been hearing all these days.

It came from a place where Fei had only been dreaming about. His expression changed color!

Without having the time to say or explain anything to others, Fei tore open the spatial barrier and dashed forward, disappearing from the Mad Scientists' Laboratory.

…

The vast and endless universe was cold and tranquil.

A radiant and giant star illuminated this small section of the universe.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn… these planets moved in their own orbits at speeds that were hard to be distinguished by the naked eye. Then, there was the blue planet and a silver satellite that spun around it…

Standing in the universe, Fei couldn't help but cry.

This was the Solar System!

The blue planet was eye-catching to Fei. In his distant memory, this was his homeland that he saw many times in books, on TV, and in movies.

The Earth!

Fei's real homeland!

It was the call that traveled through space that provided Fei with the most accurate spatial coordinates. When he comprehended the law of space, he found the way home through many dimensions and layers of voids.

The anxious call came from Zhong Dajun, the former Pope of the Beast God Palace.

"What is happening on Earth?"

Even though Fei was standing in space, he sensed streaks of strange and powerful energy. This type of energy was so strong that it could rival godly kings! It was filled with violent and murderous intents, and it permeated the entire Solar System.

After thinking for a while, Fei released his vast spirit energy and scanned the Earth.

Then, he turned into a streak of light and dove toward this blue planet.

Chapter 1209: Shocking Change (Part One)

Almost in the next second, Fei appeared on the surface of the Earth. His expression turned grim.

Right now, he was standing in the city that was Beijing, the Capital City of China, in his memory.

However, the concrete jungle, bustling crowds, and countless cars didn't appear as Fei had expected. Instead, Fei saw collapsed buildings, damaged and deserted cars, broken shops and stores, white plastic bags that were floating in the wind, and many human corpses as well as giant herds of black flies.

This was a scene that Fei only thought he would see in a sci-fi movie where the end of the world was happening.

Blood already dried on the ground, becoming dark-brown scars of Mother Earth.

From the looks of it, humans clearly weren't prepared, and they suddenly encountered terrifying enemies. Then, they went on the run.

Unfortunately for them, the enemies were too terrifying. More than 90 percent of the people died while escaping, becoming the corpses that now Fei was seeing.

There were corpses in cars that crashed into each other…

There were corpses beside the collapsed buildings…

There were corpses at the gate of broken shops…

There were corpses everywhere. Mother and son who were hugging each other before they died, seniors, women, men, children…

The frozen expression on every corpse showed their extreme fear and panic before death.

Fei sighed and squatted down, starting to carefully observe the situation.

"They died after sharp objects pierced their bodies. Huh? Some of these people got their brain juice sucked dry… Judging from how rotten these corpses are, it seems like the catastrophe struck about a dozen days ago…"

Fei captured some pieces of information as he walked on the streets that were filled with corpses.

At this moment, a series of clapping noises sounded as if beasts were sprinting. Then, the ground started to shake.

Fei turned around, and his face changed color.

Bugs! Giant bugs that looked like mutated spiders!

"What? Bugs? Polluters?" Many names flashed into Fei's mind like bolts of lightning.

The creatures that crawled out of the collapsed buildings and the sewers in large herds were bugs, an alien species. Perhaps they could also be called the Polluters. The bugs that appeared now were all in the lowest-level, looking like giant spiders with bone armor. Their long legs were full of spikes, and they could penetrate iron plates that were more than ten centimeters thick like a sharp diamond spear.

The bugs discovered Fei.

The desire for flesh and their instinct of killing made them surround Fei from all sides.

Now, Fei suddenly understood why Beijing was turned into ruins.

"These damn bugs; where did they come from? Old Pope Stabila said that all Polluters were killed. How come these creatures appeared on Earth? Are they the remaining ones that got away? Or is old Pope Stabila lying?"

Fei suddenly felt like he seemed to have missed something.

While Fei was thinking, he didn't pay any attention to the bugs that were crawling toward him like crazy. Even if he didn't react, Polluters on this level couldn't get within 1,000 meters of him.

The bugs charged toward Fei nonstop. In order to get around Fei's protective sphere, they even climbed on top of each other and stacked themselves high. While they roared in their hoarse voices, they tried to use their god-tier-weapon-like legs to pierce through Fei's invisible shield.

Chapter 1209: Shocking Change (Part Two)

"A bunch of ants… die." Fei lightly exhaled and unleashed a tiny bit of his power, and all the bugs that were exposed on the ground roared and became dust, disappearing in the air.

The world instantly quieted down.

Suddenly, Fei raised his head and looked toward a skyscraper that once had more than 100 floors but was now half-collapsed. He discovered something.

…

"God! What did I just see?" Further away, a muscular man who was wearing a military tank top was lying on the edge of the roof of Times Tower, the skyscraper that once had over 100 floors but was half-collapsed now. He was looking out with a pair of binoculars.

Beside him, there were about five Chinese people who were anxious, afraid, and dispirited.

"Wang Jian, what are you screaming about? Quiet down! You might attract the bugs below us," someone complained.

"Jian Jie, Da Shi, you won't believe what I just saw!" Wang Jian put down the pair of binoculars with his eyes wide open. He quickly called over his peers and said, "See, do you see? There is someone at the intersection about 500 meters away…"

"Huh? A real living person? This poor dude. Was he already discovered by the bugs? Ah! He is surrounded! What a pity. He can't live long," someone sighed sympathetically.

"No, you guys have to watch more carefully. Those bugs can't rush over. They can't get any closer after they are about 1,000 meters away from him…" someone spotted the irregularity.

"He is wearing a long white robe. It seems to be an ancient attire. His hair is so long. Damn! Is this guy an actor?"

"Huh? Yeah, you are right. Oh god…"

"Lord!"

"God!"

"Buddha!"

The people on the roof of Times Tower were looking at Fei with pity and joking around to alleviate the pressure. But when they saw tens of thousands of bugs being turned into dust without warning, they felt like their hearts were forcefully clenched by a powerful hand. Their minds turned blank, and they even forgot to breathe for a moment.

"That moment… what was that weapon?"

"Instantly killing thousands of bugs?"

As a group of rare survivors in the city, these people knew how terrifying the bugs were.

Even a normal small-caliber rifle couldn't break the bone armor of the bugs from 200 meters away. Only heavy ripper cannons were the nemesis to these bugs, but they couldn't achieve this seemingly exaggerated result.

-At this moment-

"Damn it! He seems to have discovered us!" Wang Jian saw that strange man at the intersection turning around and looking over. The two chilly streaks of light that shot out of this figure's eyes were as sharp as blades.

"Who is he?"

"Is he an immortal who descended to our world?"

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

"Are you guys talking about me? I'm no immortal," a crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind these survivors on the roof of Times Tower.

Wang Jian and others were horrified.

When they instantly turned around, they were so shocked that their mouths opened wide.

The strange man who was standing at the intersection a second ago already appeared behind them.

"This… how did he do it?"

Someone turned around subconsciously to look at the intersection; no one could be seen there anymore.

"You… who the heck are you?"

Wang Jian and others instantly put up their guards, and their hearts raced. Although they escaped death many times and have gotten used to all kinds of unimaginable events, they were still shocked to their cores when facing this man.

Chapter 1210: Cause and Effect (Part One)

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person who recently got home," Fei said with a bitter smile.

Since Fei hadn't spoken Mandarin in a while, he felt a little strange when suddenly speaking it again. Just like this city before him, he was a little foreign to them.

Fei could still tell that these people in front of him were Chinese.

The man in the lead was wearing a green military tank top, and he looked muscular. He should be a well-trained soldier or police officer. The other survivors all had great physical conditions. One of them was a sexy woman in tight shorts and a little tank top. Her skin was fair, and it seemed like she was a fitness trainer.

These people were stronger than ordinary people, and they somehow got together and found a few weapons and police supplies. They had some combat strength; no wonder they survived until now.

"You… are you really human? Chinese?" the sexy woman in the tight shorts and tank top asked Fei with alertness and curiosity, "You… could it be that you are an immortal that the Heaven sent down?"

Fei laughed and replied, "Perhaps. Don't be so nervous; I'm just an ordinary person. I can't remember some of the things that had happened. What exactly happened here? Can you explain it to me?"

Although these survivors were curious about Fei's background, Fei soon earned their trust with his friendliness and casual human appearance. These people sat around Fei with respect and some fear, and that sexy woman named Jian Jie started to tell Fei what was happening on Earth.

…

The catastrophe struck too suddenly.

About half a month ago, the astronomical monitoring stations in all countries on Earth were shocked to find that energy frequencies in the Solar System suddenly became unstable. Then, sunspots, solar flares, and solar winds' activities became abrupt and aggressive.

After 12 hours, even the spatial structures of the world became unstable.

One day later, the catastrophe struck Earth.

Many giant spatial teleportation tunnels suddenly appeared in the sky; modern science couldn't explain this phenomenon. These portals seemed like one giant ocean that was hanging above the world, and they looked like the hyperspatial wormholes in theory. However, no one knew where the tunnels connected to.

All the powerful countries sent space probes, drones, and piloted aircraft into the tunnels, trying to find an answer.

However, all efforts ended in failure.

18 hours later, many giant black balls appeared in the tunnels. Then, they headed directly toward the Earth. The intense friction with the air caused fires to burn on their surfaces, making them look like meteorites. Then, they smashed onto the ground and created many bottomless craters all over the world.

Next, bugs started to crawl out of the giant craters like floods, striking all major cities.

The end of the world that was portrayed in many sci-fi movies became a reality!

Humans weren't prepared for this, and they suffered many casualties as a result.

Many cities were invaded, and the defenseless civilians were almost all wiped out. Many people died, and cities became ruins. Like a plague, the catastrophe spread on Earth and caused endless fear and panic, instantly making the human society collapse.

The number of bugs quickly grew. Wherever they went, all lifeforms were destroyed.

The human civilization on Earth was in shambles. The structure and order all broke down.

Even though the militaries battled the bugs in the beginning, they couldn't eliminate this alien species. As time went on, the militaries started to get defeated more and more.

Ordinary weapons couldn't do anything to the bugs that all had hard bone shells. Also, once they hid in their nests underground, except for massive ordnance penetrators which were unique tactical missiles, all other weapons of mass destruction weren't effective on them.

Humans were instantly forced into a life-and-death situation.

Chapter 1210: Cause and Effect (Part Two)

"Is this really ok? If those bugs discover us…" Wang Jian and his peers walked behind Fei with their hearts in their throats, heading toward the exit of the building.

These people were the lucky ones. When the catastrophe struck this city, they obtained some of the equipment in the police station and didn't run into large herds of bugs. They survived on the roof of this building for three days, and they weren't discovered by the bugs.

But now, their food supplies and water ran out. When Fei recommended them to go with him, these people worked hard and finally conquered the fear in their hearts, tightly following behind Fei.

Wang Jian and others were terrified when they saw Fei casually walking like he was on vacation without a care in the world. They were afraid that Fei would make loud noises and attract the bugs that were hiding in the dark.

"Don't worry." Fei walked at the very front and waved his hand.

Ever since Fei came back to Earth, Zhong Dajun's call completely disappeared. Perhaps due to the existence of the bugs, countless streaks of mystical energy fluctuations covered the Earth. The laws of space and energy were gradually changing in this world. Although Fei's spirit energy could cover more than half of the Earth, he couldn't pinpoint where Zhong Dajun was at.

Now, the only strategy was to look for Zhong Dajun in the slow way.

Of course, Fei couldn't ignore the survivors in the city and let them die. He decided to take them out of here, find those cities that weren't conquered yet, and arrange the refugees to live there.

Of course, Wang Jian and his peers weren't the only survivors in Beijing. Fei was going to gather them all in one location before bringing them to a safe city.

Fei wasn't too anxious. He slowly walked down the building with these survivors as he thought about the mysteries that had been troubling him.

"Creak…" A series of sharp roars suddenly sounded in the staircase before the ground. Then, the floor shook as a bug that was more than two meters tall dashed over like a lightning bolt. The sharp bone spikes on its leg already left many deep grooves on the concrete floor; they were each about a dozen centimeters deep.

"Ah! Save me! Bugs!"

"Be careful!"

The survivors all screamed on top of their lungs.

However, all screams and shouts stopped in the next second.

Shocking to the survivors, this giant bug that could instantly tear open an elephant got captured by Fei, a strange man in their eyes.

As if this bug was weightless, it floated in mid-air and couldn't move at all. Even a rare trace of fear could be seen in this bug's red eyes that were filled with murderous spirit.

Fei reached out his hand and caressed the body of this bug.

"Tough bone structure, advanced nervous system, spirit energy fluctuations of intelligent life. The thinking level of a four-year-old child. Eh? It seems like a portion of its nerves and spirit energy involving fear is removed. In terms of strength… about the level of a Two-Star Warrior on the Azeroth Continent…"

While Fei said that, he reached out his hands and broke the sharp bone spike on one of the legs of this bug. Then, he carefully studied the bone spike.

At this moment, a series of noises sounded next door; a herd of bugs was quickly approaching.

Fei waved his hand, and a streak of dark light flashed by.

The bone spike was turned into a sneaky weapon, penetrating a concrete wall that was more than 20 centimeters thick and instantly killing four bugs that were running over from 50 meters away.

Chapter 1211: Unimaginable Power (Part One)

"Ok, let's be quick and continue moving forward."

After doing that, Fei lightly dusted off his hands casually and then waved at the people behind him who were already shocked.

The group continued to walk forward. Since the electricity was off with the power plants not working, they couldn't use the elevators. Therefore, their speed wasn't fast.

The team took over two hours to get from the 100th floor to the 60th floor since the building was already partially collapsed.

On the way, Fei's performance was sickening! He easily killed more than 100 bugs, shocking others such as Wang Jian and Jian Jie so much that they gradually got used to it.

Now, these people knew that they encountered a master who was unbelievably powerful. Traveling along with such a figure, their chance of survival greatly increased, and they no longer needed to worry about the bugs.

"This young man… even though he dresses like someone from ancient times, he is really handsome. Is he an immortal from Heaven?" the sexy woman named Jian Jie looked at Fei's handsome figure and couldn't help but think to herself.

Every woman admired heroes to some degree.

Especially in chaotic times like this, only the powerful men could give them a strong sense of security.

"Still too slow." After walking for a while, Fei frowned.

This tall building was greatly damaged, and some stairs were nowhere to be seen. The group could only slowly climb, so their speed was extremely slow.

After thinking for a while, Fei emitted spirit energy and scanned this building, making sure that no more survivors stayed in here. Then, he reached out his hands, and a streak of invisible godly power wrapped around everyone. The group directly flew out of a broken window and slowly descended toward the ground.

"God! We are flying…"

"He is an immortal!"

"Save me! I'm afraid of heights!"

Wang Jian and others were bold, but they were terrified by the sudden freefall-like experience.

Two of the members couldn't help it and screamed on top of their lungs.

The screams echoed in the tranquil and empty streets, instantly attracting the bugs' attention. Then, a series of shuffling noises sounded as the bugs rushed over.

Many bugs showed up. Looking from afar, it seemed like a giant black flood was surging over.

"Stand here! Don't move."

After landing, Fei reached out his finger and drew a huge pale-golden circle around Jian Jie and others, protecting them from the bugs. Then, Fei walked toward a messy Li-Ning retail store around the corner.

[TL Note: Li Ning Company Limited is a Chinese company that makes athletic shoes and sporting goods.]

"Wearing a robe here is a bit strange. Let me change into a set of Li-Ning sportswear. How long has it been since I wore clothes from Earth?" Fei did miss wearing these clothes.

"Don't! Immortal, don't ditch us here!" Jian Jie was terrified to see Fei walking away, and she tried to follow him.

However, a soft force pushed her back.

In the next moment, Fei flashed and disappeared before them.

Next, the flood-like bugs rushed over from all directions and surrounded them. While screaming, the bugs charged forward.

"Save me!"

"We are dead!"

"Mom…"

Chapter 1211: Unimaginable Power (Part Two)

The poor souls were terrified, and some of them were so scared that they peed their pants. Wang Jian and Jian Jie wanted to run, but they couldn't. Therefore, they all closed their eyes and waited for the bugs to tear them into pieces.

However, after a long time passed, they didn���t sense the intense pain of being pierced by the bugs' sharp bone spikes.

These people slowly opened their eyes in confusion, and they saw something unthinkable up-close.

A circle of golden flames slowly burned around them, and those terrifying bugs were turned into ashes as soon as they touched the flames as if they were vampires in the sun. The tough bone shells that could block bullets became weak like paper and instantly shattered.

These few survivors looked at each other in unison, and their mouths opened wide in shock.

"This… is like an immortal spell!"

"Unimaginable!"

While these people were stunned to their cores, endless herds of bugs rushed over like moths that were attracted to a flame. They roared and charged over, and then they were turned into ashes and disappeared.

This was a small trick that originated from the fist spiritual spatial seal.

Before Fei became a true god, the fist spiritual spatial seals that he left at the Bay of Byzantine almost destroyed an entire fleet of Barcelonan battleships. Now, Fei was a top-tier godly king. It was extremely easy to do this to deal with a few weak bugs.

Wang Jian and others watched as groups upon groups of bugs disappear before their eyes, and they didn't know what to say.

Soon, Fei slowly walked back with a set of black Li-Ning sportswear and a pair of black running shoes.

Wherever he walked by, large groups of bugs disappeared like collapsing sand sculptures.

"Ok, let's go now."

Fei had scanned the entire city with his spirit energy, and he knew the locations of the few big underground bases of the bugs. However, it was hard to kill all these bugs, and they might return. Before he figured out how the bugs reproduced, Fei decided to either leave with all the survivors in the city or create a temporary home base in this city.

Beauty Jian Jie's eyes lit up.

After Fei changed into sportswear, he looked more dashing. He was handsome enough to rival actors, and his muscular physique was eye-catching. His long hair fluttered in the wind, making him seem like someone who walked out of a comic book. Many girls who loved handsome men would be 'slain' by him.

People like Wang Jian and Jian Jie now realized Fei's power, and they followed him obediently.

Now, they understood that if they were with this young man, they wouldn't face any danger.

"Where are we going next?" Jian Jie asked curiously.

"We need to find a place that can contain enough people," Fei said with a smile, "I suddenly have a great idea. I'm going to gather all the survivors in Beijing."

While speaking, something mystical happened.

While Jian Jie and others opened their mouths in shock, silver flames flashed as another Fei walked out of Fei's body. Everything about the second Fei was the same as the first; they looked identical, had the same temperament, and were wearing the same clothes.

"This is… a doppelganger?"

Wang Jian, Jian Jie, and others thought that they were shocked enough after seeing the power that Fei showcased, but they were still stunned this time.

This wasn't the end of it.

More and more doppelgangers walked out of Fei's body.

Soon, thousands of Fei stood on the street, and it was impossible to tell who the real Fei was. This scene was weird and shocking.

Chapter 1212: Saving People and the Truth (Part One)

While Wang Jian, Jian Jie, and others stared at Fei in shock, one in the thousands of Fei waved his hand, and streaks of black flames flashed. After a few seconds of crazy changes, only one Fei could be seen in the area.

"Immortal… you must be an immortal!" Wang Jian murmured to himself. He once firmly believed in materialism, a philosophical theory that states nothing exists except matter and its movements and modifications. Now, his view of the world completely shifted.

On the other hand, Beauty Jian Jie had stars in her eyes.

In her current state, if Fei showed any interest toward her, she would be thrilled and sleep with him, thinking that she got lucky.

Fei was already used to these people's reactions.

In reality, he didn't want to hide his strength.

In the current situation where the Polluters suddenly raided the Earth, some of Fei's plans got completely messed up. He had to try his best to reverse this situation, so he had to show his power.

Immortal?

With Fei's current strength, he was like the immortals in Chinese mythologies.

In reality, he was probably stronger than the immortals in legends

With a flash, Fei appeared 1,000 meters above the ground and glanced at Beijing.

Decay and destruction were everywhere. The high-rises collapsed, some ferries wheels were slowly moving and squeaking in the wind, corpses lay everywhere next to the cars that collided, and white plastic bags flew in the wind. Some places were burning while low-level Polluters quickly crawled around. Also, many giant holes could be seen on the ground.

It seemed like all signs of human life disappeared.

However, when Fei scanned this area with his spirit energy, he clearly noticed that at least 100,000 survivors were still hiding in the city. They were being tortured by fear, and they were hoping for the almost impossible light to shine through the darkness.

Now, Fei wanted to change all this.

Those thousands of Fei's doppelgangers each had a portion of Fei's strength, and they were unrivaled on this planet. They were going to appear in every corner of the city and save all the survivors before bringing them to the biggest square in the city.

Of course, some of the doppelgangers were going to focus on killing the Polluters in the city, trying to clean hundreds of millions of bugs underground.

After observing in the sky and scanning the ground with his spirit energy again and again for a while, Fei suddenly detected a streak of mystical spirit energy underground that was about 20 kilometers to the west. It seemed to be related to the Polluters.

In the next moment, Fei landed on the ground.

"I have something to do and need to leave for a while. You guys can wait here. I have set up restriction arrays around here, and all bugs that are within 100 meters will be killed. Don't worry!" Fei said to Wang Jian, Jian Jie, and others.

"Ah? You… are leaving?" Beauty Jian Jie got nervous, and she looked a little lost. "Immortal, how about you bring us with you? I'm still a little afraid!"

Fei smiled and said, "My name is Fei; you can directly call my name. The place that I'm going to is more dangerous. You better not come with me!"

Others looked hesitant, and they thought, "Even this immortal said that the place that he is going to is dangerous. We can't even imagine the scale of threats there. Therefore, staying here is a better option."

On the other hand, Wang Jian who was a police officer clenched his teeth and said, "I perhaps can't help you with much, but I'm very familiar with every corner of Beijing. I can help you with directions."

Jian Jie's eyes also lit up, and she begged, "Me too! Please bring me along."

Chapter 1212: Saving People and the Truth (Part Two)

Fei didn't want to waste time, and he thought that having guides who were familiar with Beijing perhaps was useful. Therefore, a golden mist appeared and wrapped around Wang Jian and Jian Jie. In the next second, the three disappeared.

The people who remained in the area looked envious and regretful.

If their attitude was a bit sincere and decided to follow that 'immortal', perhaps they wouldn't experience danger and might even obtain some benefits.

Unfortunately, such opportunities only came once in a lifetime, and these people missed it.

…

Inside Beijing, the bugs that only started becoming the ruler of this land less than a week ago were being butchered mercilessly. Their sharp bone spikes and shells couldn't offer them any protection.

Many terrified survivors saw shocking scenes through the thin slits of the entrances to their hideouts! A young man in black Li-Ning sportswear was killing the deadly bugs as if he was killing ants!

Light of hope shined on their desperate hearts.

Meanwhile, the bugs finally started to retreat. As if they received an order, they quickly disappeared on the ground like a falling tide, crawling back into the deep cave that they dug out prior.

At the same time, Fei, Jian Jie, and Wang Jian appeared outside a chilly cave that looked gloomy and cold.

"This is the place. The spirit energy frequencies are getting more and more intense in here. It should be the command center of the bugs, and high-level bugs exist in here!" Fei thought.

Then, Fei turned around and said to the two behind him, "Be careful. Interesting and strange things might appear next."

Before Fei finished speaking, Jian Jie and Wang Jian felt like their visions darkened as they already entered the cave.

Fei's body emitted a soft golden glow, getting rid of the darkness and the cold.

Fei walked in the front and ventured into this crude cave that had a cross-sectional diameter of about two meters.

Jian Jie and Wang Jian held their breaths and tightly followed.

This should be an underground tunnel that the bugs recently created with their sharp bone spikes and claws. The entire cave had an oval-shape, and it looked like a natural karst cave. It was filled with the smell of dirt, and the walls were rough with some brown, sticky, and disgusting liquid wriggling on them.

While cold breezes blew by, it sounded as if the cave screamed, making this place even more terrifying.

Jian Jie felt like she was walking inside an ants' cave that was many times larger. If Fei weren't leading the way, she and Wang Jian would have been completely lost with so many forked tunnels and paths.

Fei wasn't anxious, and he walked slowly.

He would sometimes stop and observe the cave's structure and how it was created, trying to figure out some of the bugs' habits.

To Fei, it wasn't hard to deal with all the bugs on Earth.

What truly concerned him was that with these bugs appearing on Earth, the Azeroth Continent might be revisited by the Polluters. He was also thinking back to the meeting at the City of San Siro. Now, he suspected that he had missed some crucial details.

Either old Pope Stabila was lying, or Stabila didn't truly figure out the result of the mythical war that happened more than 1,000 years ago.

Of course, regardless of whether which of the two hypotheses was correct, the future of the Azeroth Continent would be terrible. Fei first had to find Pope Entus of the Beast God Palace, which was Zong Dajun in this world, to figure out the origins of this crisis.

At this moment, a series of booming noises sounded deep inside the cave, making it shake.

Chapter 1213: The Big Guy (Part One)

"What is going on?" Jian Jie and Wang Jian's expressions changed drastically.

Dust and chipped stones continued to fall from the roof of the circular tunnel as if an earthquake was happening.

However, the hoarse noises made by the bugs clearly told them that this wasn't an earthquake. Instead, many enemies were rushing over to them from all directions in this maze-like cave.

Fortunately, Fei was here.

With the golden mist engulfing them, when the dust and chipped stones were half a meter away from those three, they flew outward as if they smashed into a layer of invisible shield.

Although Jian Jie and Wang Jian's hearts raced, they weren't that afraid.

Fei's prior demonstration of power completely conquered them.

In the next second, bugs dashed toward them like a flood, completely burying them. Then, as the golden mist flashed and unleashed its power, the bugs turned into gas as if ice pallets were dropped in lava, disappearing completely.

In just a second, tens of thousands of bugs disappeared inside the tunnel. It felt as if they never existed.

"It seems like the master of this place already noticed us, the unwelcome guests," Fei laughed and said, "Follow me tightly and don't fall behind. Other types of bugs might start appearing."

It felt like the passage of time was extremely slow inside this deep and mysterious maze-like cave.

Fei, Jian Jie, and Wang Jian could clearly hear their own breathing, their heartbeats, and the sound that blood made when it traveled through their vessels. In the endless darkness, it felt like the Grim Reaper's tentacles had clenched their throats.

Fei was walking slowly, and he would stop from time to time to ponder.

The deadly silence continued for about 20 minutes. To Jian Jie and Wang Jie, they felt like an entire day had passed, and they couldn't do anything but follow Fei closely.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a streak of wind blew through them.

"What is going on? It feels like something dashed by us?" Beauty Jian Jie was surprised, and her female instinct made her rush over and grab onto Fei's shoulder. Her full chest tightly pressed onto one of Fei's arms and emitted some heat as their bodies rubbed against each other while they walked.

Wang Jian also sped up subconsciously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A black figure that was as fast as a bolt of lightning dashed by these three, creating chilly wind like a ghost. Wang Jian and Jian Jie couldn't capture this figure with their eyes, but their instinct made them clearly sense the rapidly approaching danger.

Whoosh!

A streak of red light shot toward Wang Jian's forehead from the roof of the tunnel, and Fei reached out his hand and captured it in mid-air.

It was a strange bug that was about the size of a human infant and looked like a monkey, and it got pulled out of the roof as it squeaked.

Its body was covered in greenish-grey bone scales, and organs such as eyes couldn't be seen on its head. Right now, its giant bloody mouth opened wide, and its two-meter-long arrow-like tongue froze in mid-air.

That streak of chilly red light was this bug's tongue.

"Huh? A new type of bug? It seems to have the abilities of chameleons. It can merge with its surroundings, ignore gravity, and climb around with ease. Its agility and phantom-like speed… eh, and it should have a higher level of intelligence and instincts." Fei observed this bug with interest.

He discovered that this bug should have evolved at least once, and its strength reached about Four-Star to Five-Star in terms of the power levels on the Azeroth Continent.

Chapter 1213: The Big Guy (Part Two)

Its tongue had insane assassination ability, enough to instantly penetrate a 20-centimeter-thick iron plate, and it could also excrete corrosive liquid. However, its defense was weaker than the lowest-level spider-shaped bugs that had bone spikes.

"It seems like my guess is correct. There are high-level bugs on Earth."

Fei waved his hand, and this monkey-like bone monster completely disappeared. At the same time, a series of panicking screams sounded, and hundreds of similar monkey monsters showed themselves and struggled before they got turned into nothingness.

At this moment, Fei acutely sensed a streak of well-hidden spirit energy wave coming from the depths of the cave, and it quickly flashed by.

"That is the place! It should be where the commander-level bug is at."

Fei intentionally emitted a streak of powerful energy, approaching that location.

Just as he expected, a series of nervous and anxious spirit energy waves appeared in that location, and they moved around in different frequencies, reaching every corner of the maze-like cave.

"Eh, the bugs don't have the ability to talk, so they communicate with each other using spirit energy frequencies. However, this is an advanced and complex system. It isn't easier compared to any language… it would be tough to decipher it!"

Fei used the spirit energy techniques that he learned from the purple scroll and copied these different spirit energy frequencies.

He wanted to spot some patterns in these frequencies. It would be great if he could understand the communication between the bugs. Through this method, he could get more information about the Polluters and even control some low-level bugs using other tactics.

At the same time, Fei continued to exert pressure toward the entity in the depths of the cave that seemed to be the commander. He wanted to force this bug to summon all the high-level bugs that hadn't appeared yet. This way, Fei could get to see all of them and understand their types and abilities in one go.

Ever since Fei discovered the Polluters on Earth, he repositioned them as the future enemies who could bring destruction to the Azeroth Continent. He wanted to gather as much information about these bugs on Earth as possible; any new information might bring positive changes to the future war of destruction on the Azeroth Continent that was mentioned in many prophecies.

Fei's strategy was successful.

In the next hour or so, Fei continued to move forward and copied a total of 108 spirit energy frequencies that the bug commander released. He also discovered 15 groups of bugs that looked different and had different power levels. In the last few groups, the bugs were as strong as mid-tier Moon-Class Elites on the Azeroth Continent.

In a giant cave about 600 meters deep into the ground, Fei finally saw the bug commander.

Just like what was depicted in movies, it looked like a giant pink mountain of flesh, and it was covered in a viscous liquid. However, it emitted a pleasant fragrance.

It was clear that this entity had human-like intelligence. When Fei, Jian Jie, and Wang Jian appeared, it instantly unleashed a wave of spirit energy frequencies that contained fear. At the same time, it wriggled and crawled backward while many low-level bugs rushed out from all the openings connected to this cave. These bugs were fearless and were trying to buy time with their own lives for the bug commander to escape.

"This meat mountain has the strength of a peak Moon-Class Elite, and its spirit energy reached the Sun-Class Realm already. I'm afraid no one on Earth can defeat it!"

Chapter 1214: Collecting Samples (Part One)

The bug commander struggled and tried to escape with all its energy, but it was meaningless.

In just a second, Fei released a tiny bit of his power and crushed hundreds of thousands of low-level bugs. After the mist created by the fine particles dissipated, only that giant meat mountain which was about 20 meters tall remained in the giant cave.

It was hard to tell whether it was fear or anger, but the bug commander's body shivered violently, and the transparent liquid was being excreted from the surface of its body. The fragrance in the air grew even more intense.

Fei discovered that this was a strange smell that could influence people's minds and impair their ability to think.

It wasn't a smell! It was a mystical energy.

Wang Jian only sniffed a little bit of this fragrance, yet his gaze became dull. It was clear that he was controlled by this giant meat mountain, and he looked at Fei and Jian Jie with hostility.

Fei thought for a moment and shot two golden light beams from his eyes, instantly getting rid of the mystical energy in Wang Jian's body and repairing some of the nerves and organs that were damaged by it.

Then, Fei grasped his hand, and the fragrant mystical energy in this space was tightly compressed into a pink sphere of light. Then, he took out an unused sealing scroll and froze this mass of energy before carefully putting it away.

Only a peak Moon-Class, the bug commander couldn't pose a threat to the Azeroth Continent. However, if a demi-godly bug commander or even those that reached the True God Realm and Godly King Realm appeared on the Azeroth Continent, they could use this type of fragrant mystical energy to control the supreme masters and turn them into battle slaves. That consequence would be lethal.

This was a terrifying ability!

Fei was going to bring this fragrant mystical energy back to the Mad Scientists' Laboratory and ask Cain and Akara to figure out the magic principles and theories behind it. If the world-ending catastrophe that was predicted in the prophecies truly came to the Azeroth Continent, the humans had to have the ability to protect themselves.

Everything that Fei was doing was preparation for that uncertain disaster in the future.

The mysteries and questions that went away with Stabila's appearance re-emerged in Fei's head.

"Hiss…"

As the giant meat mountain's red muscles shook violently, a series of deep and hissing noises sounded as if a snake was flickering its tongue.

This was a type of energy similar to ultrasound, and all the stone pillars and rocks in the cave instantly turned into dust as the soundwaves went through them. The invisible energy surged like the waves in an ocean, and the cave was filled with dust.

"This is another offensive ability? This cunning entity was acting afraid earlier? Its intelligence can't be ignored. Unfortunately, this level of attack is nothing for me!"

Fei emitted a streak of golden energy flames and engulfed the two people behind him. Regardless of how those soundwaves attacked, it couldn���t breach Fei's defense.

Gradually, Fei slowly pulled away some of the energy flames and allowed the soundwaves to strike him, sensing the power and the properties of this attack.

"Just an ordinary spirit energy attack. There is nothing special." Fei shook his head as he didn't discover anything new.

In the next second, Fei released his spirit energy silently and continued to copy and mimic the bug commander's spirit energy frequencies. After about two minutes, he completely grasped the theories behind the bugs' spirit energy frequencies.

Then, Fei waved his hand and shot out another streak of energy flames.

Chapter 1214: Collecting Samples (Part Two)

The giant meat-mountain-like monster was lifted off the ground and got thrown into a sealing scroll.

"There are no more bugs in here. We can go now."

Before Fei finished speaking, Wang Jian and Jian Jie felt their visions instantly brightening. They already returned to the ground and were at Tiananmen Square.

The intersection that was desolate and deserted a few hours ago was now full of people. Tens of thousands of survivors gathered here, making it seem like time had returned to before the disaster. However, the collapsed buildings in the area reminded everyone that time didn't flow back.

"He is here; the immortal is back…"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone turned and saw Fei, Jian Jie, and Wang Jian.

"Immortal…"

Whoosh! Close to 100,000 people all knelt on the ground.

These people were saved when they were in desperation, and they were guided here by Fei's doppelgangers. They witnessed how Fei's doppelgangers easily butchered the bugs and saw these doppelgangers turning into light beams and disappearing.

Then, these survivors met up with those few people who were saved alongside Wang Jian and Jian Jie, and they learned more about Fei. As the stories got passed around, Fei became more and more mysterious, and many people saw him as an immortal.

Of course, not everyone thought that way.

A few middle-aged men who had big bellies walked to Fei under the protection of a few muscular men in military uniforms. They smiled flatteringly, and one of them said, "Friend, I'm Mayor Zhang of Beijing. How should I address you?"

Fei casually scanned this person, and he learned about this man's identity and thoughts.

Even during this crisis, such people were having other thoughts and wanted to control Fei, having the desires that they shouldn't have. These people were pathetic!

In reality, a little mayor was nothing to Fei, the Emperor of the Northern Region Empire on the Azeroth Continent. He ruled over a territory that was tens of thousands of times larger than the land on Earth, and even a bronze saint who acted as Fei's guard was more prestigious than the most influential leader on Earth.

After scanning the people in the area in silence, Fei learned many things. Then, he flickered his finger, and hundreds of golden light beams dashed into some people's bodies.

"This…"

The people who were chosen by the golden light beams were scared at first, but then they were shocked to find that a new power appeared in their bodies. As if they transformed from ordinary people to superheroes, they could easily jump up for hundreds of meters, almost like flying!

"Immortal! Thank you for your gift!"

The lucky people all knelt on the ground and shouted in gratitude, and others looked at them with envy, jealousy, and hate.

"I have cleared all the bugs in the city, and I set up restriction arrays around the city, in the sky, and underground. No more bugs will appear. You were once the master of this land, and you are the only survivors. Carefully rebuild this city! The people whom I chose are trustworthy; you will be the temporary leaders."

As soon as Fei said that, those middle-aged men with big bellies were shocked, and their faces changed color.

"You two, come with me." Fei smiled at Jian Jie and Wang Jian. Then, he said to those middle-aged men, "You, come with me as well."

Then, a streak of golden energy flames dashed out and engulfed these people before they flew into the sky and disappeared from many people's eyes.

Chapter 1215: The Last Base of China (Part One)

After Fei ventured into the cave underground Beijing and observed the bugs, he had already collected a lot of information and data that he needed. Also, he gathered some samples for research, such as that meat-mountain-like bug commander.

After scanning around, Fei discovered that there were about 40 of these bug commanders, and they were situated in the caves under the various giant cities on Earth, commanding the billions upon billions of bugs on the planet.

Both in terms of quality and quantity, the bugs on Earth couldn't be compared to the Polluters that destroyed the Mythical Era on the Azeroth Continent.

However, Fei clearly sensed that the bugs were evolving continuously. Bugs ranging from the bug commanders to the lowest-level bugs were all getting stronger.

This was the most terrifying aspect of the situation.

When the bugs first appeared on the Azeroth Continent, they weren't at the advantage. They used their sheer number and speed of adaptation and evolution to crush the God Clan and Demon Clan. That was similar to what was taking place on Earth, further proving that these bugs were the legendary Polluters that caused destruction on the Azeroth Continent.

From the information that Fei learned so far, the bugs that appeared on Earth should be from a mysterious dimension or galaxy. It meant that these bugs were only a tiny portion of this alien species. There were more terrifying entities hiding in the depths of the universe.

Perhaps just as the prophecies on the Azeroth Continent predicted, the Polluters were slowly waking up from deep sleep, getting ready for another round of harvest and hunting. [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

Perhaps Earth was only the beginning.

The Azeroth Continent and other dimensions with high levels of energy were probably the bugs' next target.

Fei took Wang Jian, Jian Jie, and those few people who claimed to be high-level officials in the government to a city in the northwest region of China.

Right now, the group hovered in the sky.

This city was surrounded by great mountain ranges such as Qing Lin, and wide rivers also wrapped around it. This place was easy to defend and hard to siege. As a result, there weren't many bugs here.

After the initial panic and chaos when the catastrophe first struck, the military and various forces of China moved here. Using the ancient Great Wall and the newly-built fortresses and defense structures, this city wasn't taken by the bugs yet.

After Fei scanned this place with his spirit energy, he discovered that this should be the biggest base city in China; about tens of millions of people were crowded in the city, trying to survive.

However, as time passed by, the bugs took down other cities and gradually started to focus on this city.

The defensive pressure of the city was increasing every day.

Looking down from the sky, the entire city was surrounded by mountain ranges, the ancient Great Wall, dams, and other structures. Outside the tall walls, many bugs swarmed up from all directions. Like a well-trained troop, they coordinated with each other well and surrounded the city tightly.

The herds of bugs in the front already started to battle the human troops that were defending the city.

The cruel battle was ongoing.

Sounds of cannons and guns resonated in the area continuously, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Fear was gradually devouring the heart of every survivor in the city.

"Don't panic! Hold your guns tight! Aim at the enemies!"

On a 100-meter-tall fortress that was made from quick-drying cement to the east of the city, a young military officer who was about 20 years old was commanding his soldiers to shoot at the bugs that were rushing over. The bullets turned into many tongues of flames.

Chapter 1215: The Last Base of China (Part Two)

Ordinary heavy weapons could only kill a low-level bug with dozens of bullets. The only effective way to threaten the bugs was to fire at them continuously without stopping.

The situation was getting more and more severe, and the young military officer's frowning intensified.

Everyone could tell that the bugs were evolving. As time passed by, the bugs that appeared outside the city got larger and larger, and their defensive capabilities also improved. Mixed amongst these bugs, there were those monsters that were agile and fast like monkeys. They could easily climb up the defensive walls that were hundreds of meters tall and butcher the soldiers!

Many helicopters flew in the air and dropped napalm bombs which were incendiary mixtures of gelling agents and volatile petrochemicals such as gasoline, burning the bugs on the ground.

Also, radio waves were quickly traveling in the air, issuing different commands. The soldiers in every location of the city felt immense pressure.

"Old Six, how is the situation on your side?" a hoarse voice sounded through a military walkie talkie.

The young military officer sighed and said, "My group is still holding on. However, even if we have enough bullets and bombs, I'm not sure how long we can last. The bugs are evolving. Perhaps…"

Before this man could finish speaking, a series of intense explosions happened.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The young military officer looked up and saw about a dozen military helicopters exploding in the air. These helicopters hadn't returned from the battle, and they got exploded into pieces like massive fireworks, falling down from the sky with smoke all over them.

"What is going on? Can the bugs now attack the air?" the young military officer was shocked.

In the last few days, humans relied on the air force to maintain the advantage. Since the bugs couldn't attack the units in the air, the air force could drop bombs and used missiles to kill large herds of bugs. If the humans lost this advantage, then everything was over!

"Damn it! What is it?" a soldier shouted.

The young military officer looked up and saw many black monsters that were about four meters long. While flapping their wings that seemed to be made of bone membranes, they looked like giant dragonflies, and they glided toward the defense structures as they buzzed loudly.

"Flying bugs?"

"They destroyed the military helicopters?"

Everyone turned ashen-faced.

"It is done!"

Now that the bugs also had their air force, the humans lost their only advantage. The plan of protecting the city using the newly-built defense structures was rendered useless.

The fate of destruction seemed settled.

"Hiss…" While eye-piercing hissing noises sounded, large herds of flying bugs appeared on the horizon and dove down towards the city, announcing the arrival of doomsday.

The young military officer sighed and looked behind him with unwillingness and love. [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

Behind him in the city were his old parents, great friends, beautiful wife, and cute and smart son and daughter. They were the motivating factors for him on the frontline, but now he no longer had the strength to protect them. The tragedy was about to strike his loved ones.

"Let us fall into a deep sleep together!" the young military officer took out his handgun and pointed at his temple.

However, when this young man turned around and was about to commit suicide, he suddenly froze on the spot as if he had been turned into a stone. Then, an incredulous expression of thrill appeared on his face.

Chapter 1216: The First Intimate Contact (Part One)

The young officer was shocked to find that the many giant dragonfly-like monsters suddenly froze in mid-air; they couldn't get any closer to the defense line. Then, they all started to explode like fireworks. Their flesh and blood spilled in all directions, turning into streaks of blood mist and falling from the sky.

"What is going on?" the young military officer and all the soldiers on the wall gasped.

In the next moment, a mass of golden light slowly descended from the sky, and a few human figures could be seen inside. As the golden light got closer, the human figures turned clearer. The young man in the front was wearing Li-Ning sportswear, and a few other people stood behind him. Also, about four giant dragonfly-like monsters stayed beside the golden light without moving.

"This…" the young military officer swallowed his saliva and couldn't process the scene before him.

"A human who can fly? Is he a friend or a foe?"

"No one knows!"

Everyone held onto their breath, and they were so nervous that sweat appeared all over their palms.

Bam! Bam!

Suddenly, a few bullets flew out of the wall. A few soldiers were too nervous and pulled the triggers.

"Don't shoot!" the young military officer instantly shouted to stop them.

-On the other side-

"Oh, this isn't a friendly welcome ceremony," a friendly and jokingly voice sounded from the young man in the black sportswear who was engulfed in energy flames.

Those bullets that flew out suddenly stopped in mid-air like snails that fell into a swamp when they were about ten meters away from this young man's body.

"Captain, don't shoot. It is me… haha, alright, I'm just joking. Don't worry; I'm not an enemy. My name is Fei, and I'm Chinese."

As soon as this voice appeared, the young man in black landed on the defense wall with those other people.

Whoosh!

The soldiers on the wall all moved away in unison and surrounded these strangers while pointing their guns at them.

"Don't shoot. It is me, the Deputy Mayor of Beijing…" the middle-aged man who had a big belly was the first one to panic. He almost peed his pants when the guns pointed at him. Instead, Beauty Jian Jie and the muscular Wang Jian had been around Fei longer and had seen many unthinkable things. Therefore, they weren't afraid of guns anymore.

"Don't worry. I'm really Chinese, and I don't have any ill-intentions," Fei explained with a smile.

Perhaps Fei's smooth Mandarin made the young military officer drop his guard; the latter ordered the soldiers to put away their guns.

"Did you kill those bugs?" the young military officer tried to make his tone sound as natural and gentle as possible. After all, it was shocking for anyone to see others descending from the sky in golden light.

"That is right." Fei nodded and reached out his hand, calling over the four dragonfly-like monsters and sealing them in a scroll.

This series of actions almost made others' eyes drop out of their eye sockets.

"A golden light flashed by, and those four giant monsters disappeared. Also, that roll of cloth-like material engulfed in the light… what was that thing?"

After about half an hour, Fei was invited into a meeting room in the most monitored and secure military building. The walls were all made of high-density bulletproof cement, and they were extremely firm with a layer of steel plate that was about an inch thick added on top. There were also four cameras in the four corners of the room, monitoring the room every second.

Chapter 1216: The First Intimate Contact (Part Two)

Fei sat on the couch in the meeting room in boredom as he waited.

After explaining why he was here and casually killing hundreds of thousands of bugs outside the city, Fei was treated as a VIP of the military, and he was respectfully invited to the center of this base.

That middle-aged man who said that he was the Deputy Mayor of Beijing and his henchmen were picked up by a military vehicle.

After getting Fei's permission, Wang Jian and Jian Jie were also picked up by a few workers in the base. Clearly, the government was still very careful. They wanted to learn more about Fei through these citizens who were documented in the government database.

While waiting on the couch, Fei didn't show signs of impatience.

In fact, he could understand why the military was so careful and alerted.

After all, the supernatural power that Fei demonstrated was shocking, and it was too meaningful for the nation.

… [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

"Mr. Wang Jian, before this catastrophe broke out, you were an excellent police officer. We all trust you, but this is too hard to believe. Can you swear that everything you said is true? And you experienced all these incidents yourself?"

In another room that was tightly guarded, a white-haired old man who was in a military uniform confirmed with Wang Jie once more with a serious expression.

A bitter smile appeared on Wang Jie's face, and he said earnestly, "General Liu, I promise you every word that I said is true; I experienced it all and didn't hear it from someone else. This young man named Fei has the power and abilities like the immortals in legends. I have ventured deep into a bug's nest below Beijing, and he killed hundreds of millions of bugs including a meat-mountain-like bug commander."

The white-haired old general nodded and said apologetically, "Before we communicate with him, you need to stay here for a while. I apologize in advance."

Wang Jian looked at this famous and reputable old general as he stood up and bowed. "I'm willing to aid all investigations."

Old General Liu patted Wang Jian's shoulder and left the room.

Under the lead of a secretary, old General Liu got into an elevator and went to the 19th floor underground.

The metal walls emitted cold glares. In this giant space, many figures in military uniforms and white lab coats walked around, busy with their work.

The old general went to the room in the depths of this floor, and about 30 people had been waiting there.

On the huge electronic screen, Fei who was patiently waiting in the meeting room was on the display, and the high-level officials who survived so far all sat on the two sides. There were generals and administrative officials. They all looked grim while discussing among themselves. Seeing General Liu, they all looked over.

"This is the 11th interview with Wang Jian, and our doctors checked the Deputy Mayor of Beijing and everyone who came with this mysterious young man. All signs show that they are very healthy, their minds aren't controlled by spirit energy, and they aren't hypnotized. It means everything that they said should be true," the old general said while sending the electronic document in his hands to everyone in the room.

"Deputy Mayor Liu and others don't know much. However, Wang Jian and that woman named Jian Jie said the exact same thing. In their eyes, this young man named Fei is an invincible immortal. It sounds unbelievable, but it seems like it is the truth. We can look at this video that was captured by a military's satellite."

Chapter 1217: Time Isn't Waiting for Me (Part One)

Many shocking and unbelievable scenes appeared on the big screen.

Especially when Fei lightly waved his hand on the defense wall, a wave of golden light flew out and crushed hundreds of thousands of bugs outside the city into pieces. The people in the other room were shocked so much that all of them gasped.

"Oh god! What is this power?"

"Could it be some kind of new weapon?"

"This… is like a scene from a mythological movie! Who is he?"

"How did he do this?"

The people who were inside this room were all the best in their fields, and they had seen all kinds of scenes. However, they were still stunned by what they saw. Everyone knew how terrifying the bugs were. In less than half a month, the bugs almost destroyed China and ended the world.

"That young man in black Li-Ning sportswear… he waved his hand and killed hundreds of thousands of bugs? This… is this a computer-generated image?"

"According to what Deputy Mayer Liu, Wang Jian, and Jian Jie have said, Beijing has been saved; all the bugs in the city have been killed by this mysterious young man. About 100,000 survivors are now rebuilding their homes."

Old General Liu had hope in his eyes. Everyone knew what it would mean if the information that they collected was real; there was potentially a chance to defeat the bugs!

"Such information is too shocking and unbelievable. Perhaps these people's minds are controlled by this mysterious young man. From the initial research of the scientists, the bugs have powerful spirit energy. Perhaps this young man is a bug that is wearing human skin," an old man in a white lab coat said worryingly.

"Then, let's see if we can prove it," General Liu replied. Then, he whispered something, and the workers quickly turned the satellite toward Beijing. As the satellite zoomed into Beijing, the image grew clearer.

"God…" [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

"Impossible…"

Everyone started to gasp; they realized that Beijing was recovered!

Through the satellite images, these people clearly saw that no bugs could be seen inside the entire gigantic territory of Beijing. Some people were casually walking on the streets, trying to gather food and water. It didn't look like they were being hunted down by the bugs.

Also, a ton of bugs gathered outside the city, trying to break in. However, there was a thin layer of energy-field-like substance, protecting the city. Once the bugs got close, they were shattered into dust.

This wasn't something that science could explain!

It was something that only immortals could do.

Now, even the most hardcore atheist in the room believed what Wang Jian and others had stated.

"It is heard that a savior appeared in the Continent of America as well. That person has insane power and defeated many bugs on his own, protecting Las Vegas from being destroyed. We thought that it was only a joke, but now it seems like these people with superpowers do exist in the world," someone commented.

Old General Liu looked around and couldn't hide his excitement. He said loudly, "If we can convince this young man to serve us, there is a high chance of wiping out these bugs."

"Humph! What convincing? It seems like this young man is only about 20 years old. He should be a university student, right? As a member of China, he should help his country and government. We can directly order him!" an old man who looked murderous replied with a frown.

This recommendation was supported by many people. After all, these people had gotten used to thinking as high-level officials, and they thought that everything could be done through commands.

Chapter 1217: Time Isn't Waiting for Me (Part Two)

"Quick! Look! What is that…" a scientist in the room suddenly pointed at the screen and screamed.

Everyone turned around and was shocked; their eyes almost popped out of their eye sockets.

The screen in the room showed something that defied all the laws of physics. The screen was connected to the cameras that were monitoring the meeting room, and the mysterious young man in black casually waved his hand and tore a huge opening in space as if he was tearing a piece of paper.

The chilly black light of this opening looked identical to that of the mysterious black holes, making others afraid.

Then, the young man waved his hand and pushed out a mass of golden energy flames. Like an endless tentacle, it reached into the black crack.

After about five minutes, a response came back through the crack.

Light flashed, and dozens of muscular warriors and energetic scholars walked out of the opening in space. They were dressed in armor and robes that seemed to come from the medieval times, and they knelt before this young man respectfully while chanting using a strange language.

Everyone in the monitoring room felt like their brains weren't powerful enough to process this scene.

… [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

"Your Majesty, we finally found you!"

Gold Saint Brook of Libra, Gold Saint Torres of Sagittarius, and a few others knelt on one knee in excitement.

The emperor had disappeared for about two days; they didn't expect him to come to such a dimension.

Cain and Akara were in this group as well. Right now, they were glancing at this meeting room curiously.

Also, about a dozen orc priests were summoned over by Fei as well.

Fei had left many spatial summoning coordinates on the Azeroth Continent. Now that he had mastered the spatial magic and the Laws of Space, even though he was on Earth right now, he could summon the necessary subordinates to his location.

"I have some things for you to do." Fei waved at these people and told them to get up. Then, he frowned and said, "But before that, tell me about the current situation on the Azeroth Continent. Is there any news from the Holy Church?"

Brook thought for a moment and said, "The merge between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church is ongoing. Old Pope Stabila and Continental Martial Saint Maradona are managing this, and everything is happening in order. However, about two days ago, the Holy Church said that the remaining henchmen of Blatter are causing trouble, so the process might be delayed for about ten days. Also, they asked if the priests of the Holy Church could enter the Northern Region to spread the religion…"

"Delay for about ten days?" A sharp glint flashed in Fei's eyes, and he already realized something. While his face changed color, he said, "It seems like I don't have much time left. I must send someone back."

Fei beckoned at Bronze Saint Hazard of Cygnus and whispered something into the latter's ear. Then, the emperor created an opening in space and sent him back to the Azeroth Continent.

"Where are we? Another dimension? Huh… interesting…" After looking around, Cain became very interested in everything in the room. He frowned and asked as he pointed at the cameras, ���What are these? How come I feel like I'm being monitored, yet I can't detect any magic energy fluctuations?"

Fei laughed and replied, "I have something even more interesting for you and Akara to look at." While Fei said that, he took out the scrolls that he sealed various Polluters and a bug commander.

"This… Polluters? Alive?" Everyone in the room was shocked, and their expressions became grim.

Chapter 1218: The Beginning of the Partnership (Part One)

People like General Liu in the monitoring room were already stunned to their cores.

The scenes that were shown on the screen completely went beyond the laws of physics of this world, and they were also unimaginable to everyone. Perhaps people could only see such scenes in fiction novels.

The orcs who had giant bodies looked like monsters in Journey to the West, and the warriors were dressed in fancy golden armor, looking like medieval knights. The giant metal weapons that these foreigners held made the people in the monitoring room temporarily lose the ability to think.

[TL Note: Journey to the West is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. The key character in it is the monkey king.]

Those high-level officials who said that they were going to command and force Fei to serve them all shut their mouths at this moment.

Those people weren't fools. Seeing these strange warriors and 'monsters' single-kneeling before Fei, they instantly realized that Fei wasn't a simple figure and perhaps had prestigious status. Such a person who had superpowers and superior status wouldn't be commanded by them.

The good thing was that these people's nerves were now extremely tough.

The sudden arrival of the bugs through the spatial wormholes put the world into a catastrophe. It was already enough to challenge people's imaginations. Now, to these people, the immortals and monsters' appearances weren't completely unacceptable. [Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

This world was completely changed; the order got messed up.

"It seems like we need to readjust our thinking process," General Liu sighed.

Everyone had a strange feeling about this. They felt like they were frogs that were at the bottom of a water well. When they looked up at the sky, there was only a small circular region, and they were ignorant of many things.

Just as they felt proud of themselves, they suddenly realized that they were at the bottom of the universe. The guns, cannons, planes, and missiles that they were proud of couldn't defend against such 'immortal techniques'.

The people in the monitoring room quickly made a decision.

Then, about a dozen people led by old General Liu got out of the underground structure and came to the meeting room.

This was the first face-to-face meeting between the two sides.

"Everyone…" Even though General Liu had experienced all kinds of situations before, he didn't know how to address these strange figures before him. He looked at Fei and smiled before reaching out his hand. "Little Brother…"

[TL Note: This is a polite way for an elderly to address someone younger in Chinese culture.]

Before General Liu could finish, Torres who was Fei's guard shouted, "Reckless! You are standing before our emperor! How dare you not kneel and greet him?"

Seeing these weak people were so reckless that they tried to shake His Majesty's hand, Torres instantly shouted and unleashed a bit of his strength.

Torres was one of the 12 gold saints, and he had reached the Demi-Godly Realm. However, he was still loyally acting as Fei's guard.

Old General Liu and other high-level officials turned ashen-faced; they felt like a giant mountain was crashing toward them and making the building shake.

Torres' shout made them feel like thunder exploded beside their ears, and an indescribable fear instantly engulfed them.

It felt like ants were facing an angry holy dragon.

"Don't be rude." Fei quickly waved his hand, and a streak of energy rushed out and canceled out Torres' presence before it could reach General Liu and others.
