I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 803 302: Balancing One with the Other, A Series of Bold Ideas

"This... I don't have the authority to deploy troops privately, I need to report back."

"Of course, General Wang, take a look and discuss it. As you saw, there was just one Outer Realm Demon this time.

In fact, there were dozens more that were intercepted on their way here.

Outer Realm Demons have been coveting our Divine Land for quite some time.

If something else comes up next time and we don't react in time, won't it disturb the area around Mount Li?"

Wang Jiyong nodded. He had come so quickly this time precisely because of this concern.

That's why the higher-ups ordered him to advance forward and arrive first.

If he couldn't resolve it, then others would step in.

He agreed to the matter and would report back; after all, he saw that this place was indeed suitable for them to guard for the long term.

After seeing Wang Jiyong off, Wen Yan called Feng Yao to tell him about this, and Feng Yao was immediately intrigued, pushing the matter to the General Director.

Wen Yan had no choice but to visit the General Director in the Capital City.

Upon meeting the General Director, the General Director shook his head somewhat helplessly.

"You... have you been gathering resources from Mount Li?"

"Isn't it appropriate?"

"It's not inappropriate. It's just that we needed a pretext to make contact, and they seem to have the same thought. It is indeed quite fitting now."

"That's good." Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He did feel it was a bit presumptuous, but since the timing was suitable, he had to seize the opportunity as there might not be a more suitable chance next time.

The Scorching Sun Department was severely understaffed. In Guanzhong County, they had begun recruiting a large number of Ghosts, indicating a significant shortfall.

Deploying people to guard the Great Tomb Rift would be complicated in terms of logistics, not to mention whether the conditions would be harsh.

There was truly no one more suitable than Ghosts and those Soldier Terracotta to act as Guardians.

The environment there would actually be quite comfortable for them.

"I heard you want to send something to the Moon. What are you sending?"

"This." Wen Yan took out the White Jade and explained his idea.

"Are you sure it will work? It won't be like a mouse falling into a rice pot, will it?"

"It definitely won't. I'm not using my own power.

The power is borrowed, from the Flame Emperor.

I think that big shot was pleased with what I did before, so they lent me this power."

"I see." The General Director realized immediately what Wen Yan wanted to do.

The General Director took out a tablet, checked it, and said.

"If it's just about sending something to the Moon, merely by throwing it up there, you won't have to wait long.

The launch missions are quite dense these last two years. If it's just about taking a small item, it isn't very difficult.

I'll talk to them over there; there's a rocket launch tomorrow, but there's no time.

In five days, there's another one. I'll need to consult the experts to decide if it's suitable.

Just keep the item for now, and I'll notify you when the time comes."

"Got it."

Wen Yan returned home and resumed his cultivation for a few hours.

Once he finished cultivating and while eating, during his routine trip to the basement to make offering incense, he suddenly paused upon seeing the shelves in the corner.

He kept thinking, what if a problem arose just by throwing it up there?

Now, seeing the shelves, he suddenly felt foolish and wondered if he even needed a rocket.

Try the shelves first.

After checking the time, he immediately called the General Director.

"Minister, I remember there's some Lunar Soil, right? Can you send some over? I need the real deal, not impostors."

"What do you plan to do?"

"I have a series of bold ideas."

"..." The General Director was silent for a long time before saying, "There isn't a suitable rocket for now, but there is lunar soil available. Sending you 1g isn't an issue; it's in the Scorching Sun Department."

"The source of the lunar soil should be reasonably appropriate, preferably not too far from the future Moon Base, nor too close either."

"Alright."

That same day, logistics from the Scorching Sun Department delivered the lunar soil, which looked like ordinary ash when sealed.

Wen Yan dashed to the basement below and had Guihai Yidong construct a solid room at the lowest level specifically for opening windows.

He set up the shelves, and Wen Yan wrapped the Gray Cloth to prevent any unforeseen events.

"Do you remember what I told you?" Wen Yan asked the Gray Cloth again, ensuring it remembered the instructions.

As soon as the 1g of lunar soil was placed on the shelves, a window opened.

Wen Yan had consulted experts; without an atmosphere, the lunar surface's temperature variation can exceed three hundred degrees Celsius.

It can fluctuate from minus one hundred eighty to plus one hundred twenty degrees.

At this time, the place where the lunar soil was taken happened to be at a neutral point during the day, neither hot nor cold, with minimal risk.

When he saw the desolate landscape on the other side, he immediately threw the White Jade out.

Meanwhile, the Gray Cloth tightly bound him to the spot. Upon the window opening, the Gray Cloth promptly reached out through the window, rolled up some gravel on the other side, and brought it back.

In less than a second, the window closed again.

Wen Yan's heart was racing, terrified that if the window opened and the pressure difference was too great, he'd be sucked through and die unjustly.

Unexpectedly, he realized he was overthinking. He could see the scene, but it wasn't fully connected.

This test proved one thing: there were quite a few places where the window could open.

That lunar soil could open a pathway didn't surprise him. If left untouched, the lunar soil might have remained dormant on the Moon for a billion years, with the only possible open window being on the lunar surface.

Wen Yan returned from the deepest part of the basement to the villa's basement, looking at the Stone Sculpture on the shelf.

The initial Xuan Beast Stone Carving, he remembered, opened a window to a very unfamiliar place, with several plants he hadn't seen before.

Is it possible that the window opened by this Stone Sculpture doesn't even exist in the current world?
