Chapter 749 - 470: Mr. Xia’s Collaboration, the Divine Theory
Platinum Federation, Black Port City.
Within the bustling estate, there are lawn gardens and fountain pools.
A La Royce and a luxury car are parked here, resembling a place of medieval nobility, with dozens of neatly dressed servants walking about.
Tap, tap.
Soon, the sound of leather shoes treading rapidly echoed.
A group of Chi Country-faced security personnel parked their vehicles in the estate, escorting a middle-aged man in a suit, walking quickly towards the bright estate hall.
But before they could enter.
They were stopped by the suited white man at the banquet hall entrance.
"Sorry, Mr. Han."
"This is Miss Oona’s private territory, your security cannot enter."
The calm voice carried no emotion.
The group being stopped had their faces slightly changed, and Han Mingchuan, in the center, also had his eyes darken.
Since Chi Country adopted a tough stance and initiated several negotiations.
He could feel his situation in the Platinum Federation becoming increasingly dangerous and awkward.
For a moment, capturing his changing complex expression, Oona from the study on the second floor of the estate had a mocking look in her eyes, shaking her head.
"It seems he has realized that his value is diminishing."
The light screen on the desk hovered still; her white long dress had carved patterns, shining slightly in the sunlight pouring in through the window.
Several security personnel were stationed at various points within the study, guarding door and window areas.
Glancing at them briefly, Oona then turned to look at another person beside her.
"Chi Country’s determination is greater than we imagined, unexpectedly insisting on having Han repatriated to them."
"Uncle Long Jia, luckily you are by my side, otherwise Oona wouldn’t be able to live peacefully."
Pretending to be weak, she looked next to her, where a white man was dressed in a gray suit, ordinary in stature and appearance.
Yet those brown eyes gave an impression of bright amber, impossible to ignore.
"Miss, feel free to act; I will ensure your safety."
The man named Long Jia responded simply, and Oona smiled, then humbly sought guidance from him on another matter.
"The leader of the Northern Red Country’s Holy Sect refused my proposal for cooperation, and tomorrow is the day he’s scheduled to go to Nanjiang City for a duel."
"I plan to have Lai Si handle this, set the waters in turmoil, making it easier for us to insert personnel later. What do you think?"
She recalled the plan informed by her father and also thought of the figure of that young man, whom she considered an arrogant stallion.
"I think Miss’s consideration is very thorough."
Still a simple response, the man named Long Jia offered no objection.
Oona wore a smile hearing this, but the other party soon spoke to remind her.
"Miss has handled these matters beautifully."
"However, there is one thing I must ask Miss not to be careless about."
"Uncle Long Jia, please tell."
"I heard... Giles and Young Master Milan have also started participating in the search plan for that legendary super ancient creature."
In a tactful tone, Oona’s smile gradually faded.
The traces of that super ancient creature...
Thinking about these days without any results, hard to find tracks.
If it weren’t for the family’s insistence and the certainty from various high levels.
She would start to doubt whether this speculation was true.
....
"Liu Duanyun refused the cooperation of the Lute family..."
That day, evening.
The flying device marked with a Red Maple Leaf slowly departed from the air route, its white searchlights piercing through the night.
Chen Feng stood within the cabin, recalling the situation informed by Xia Mingyuan, his gaze fluctuating slightly towards the outer night sky.
Though not knowing how the Chi General Guard learned of this matter, it seems this Holy Sect leader, once the first martial artist of Chi Country, at least caught his eye.
Ordinarily, one might choose to agree, relying on external forces to deal with oneself.
But the other party insisted on the pride and principles of a martial artist.
"However.... "
With a chilling gaze, Chen Feng thought of the Lute family’s presence.
Daring to meddle in the duel affair.
He could roughly guess, either because of past grudges, wanting to target him, or for disrupting the view and situation, targeting the space passage of the high wall.
A strand of killing intent rose from his heart, recalling the cooperative proposal Xia Mingyuan last mentioned.
Not refusing, so he left this place strictly prohibiting outsiders.
Buzz!
The flying device marked with the Red Maple Leaf passed controls and checks, entering the Space Gate, allowing him to experience the sensation of weightlessness once again.
During the period, a panel silently hovered, Chen Feng glanced it.
[Holy Awakening Method: Burning Cosmos·Day Realm (57%→84%)]
Five advanced life potions and two Origins of Life.
The former gradually has less effect on him, but the Origin of Life still provided significant nourishment.
The Awaken Method is no longer far from the next level, while the Burning Cosmos Flame at the lower abdomen becomes increasingly solid, looking like a real small sun, illuminating suspended in the Dantian.
Burning and bursting heat simultaneously tempered his physique and mind, seemingly seeking to merge the two.
For a moment, his mind wavered, recalling the special feature of the Lower-Rank Envoys.
"Heart Position..... Martial Arts Momentum."
The divine and the body as one, spirit and flesh as one.
Merging spirit and body into one, the mind and flesh forming a whole.
Reaching this step, one can achieve heart position, every move, every gesture, can turn decay into magic.
Just like the Holy Shield Giant, or the Lower-Rank Envoy Transformed People seen in dreams in the Inverted Pyramid Ark before.
Every gesture can evoke a magnificent momentum, either suppressing like a mountain or enveloping like a world.
"After this, if one can construct a new world within the Spiritual World, or even unify the external world..."
Gazing introspectively, Chen Feng thought of the fragments he saw in the dream realm of Qinggang City.
That was a level higher than Heart Position, as if a single thought could manifest into a whole world.
Suddenly, with a flash of thought, he quickly summoned the Star Spirit.
Buzz!
A fluctuation appeared in his mind, revealing the delicate humanoid shadow of the Star Spirit.
"What is it?"
She was busy with transactions and computations of the intelligent core, hence unusually quiet along the journey.
"Are Divine Generals also Transformed People?"
Chen Feng voiced his inner doubt.
Because he remembered Li Yun mentioned that each Divine General was very special, beyond the measure of Rainbow Iron or transformation technology.
"Divine Generals?"
The Star Spirit was momentarily stunned, then realized it was the term used in Chi Country.
"You’re referring to the Divine Beings, right?"
She corrected, her crisp voice resonating in Chen Feng’s mind.
"Divine?"
Chen Feng was surprised, then saw her gently nod, explaining with her big eyes: "The Divine, is one of the highest technological crystallizations of Ancient Tado."
"I can’t remember the specific origin, I only know each Divine Being is unique, related to Divine Attribute Fragments and World Will."
"Only those recognized by creation can become a true Divine Being."
The Star Spirit’s explanation was somewhat vague, leaving Chen Feng unsure if she was deliberately concealing something or if there was indeed a data gap.
However....
Divine Generals being related to Divine Attribute Fragments and World Will?
Thoughtful, he glanced again at the panel.
He already had five Divine Attribute Fragments; just four more and he could revive the first batch of Angel-level Heroic Spirits in the Heroic Spirit Hall.
But if these fragments were related to Divine Generals, should he use them for revival?
The thought passed, and the flying device had already left the Space Gate, arriving at the high walls of Nanjiang.
At this moment, the sky had draped in night, with scattered stars hanging at the horizon.
Inside the high walls, red and blue flickering lights intermingled, belonging to the patrolling vigilant flying devices and aerial installations.
The construction of the Star Ring Device continued, becoming more refined, slowly forming a nearly hundred-meter-sized metal circular outline.
Standing by the window, sweeping a glance, Chen Feng soon heard the Star Spirit’s sighing voice.
"What a beautiful world."
She had been inside the pyramid-like Ark for too long and, due to certain reasons, couldn’t leave.
Even though she could observe the world via the network, extensive external contact was not possible.
"Aren’t Secret Realms the same?"
Chen Feng retorted, as the flying device passed inspections, leaving the high wall, heading towards the Mountain Gate of the Flame Tiger Sect.
The scenery here was even less bustling than the Radiant Inner City, yet it made this million-year-old intelligence sigh.
"Secret Realms ultimately aren’t complete worlds; they’re merely independent spaces dependent on the Star Realm."
Shaking her head, the Star Spirit unusually spoke a couple more sentences, which reminded Chen Feng of what Xia Mingyuan said during the day.
The spatial structure of Secret Realms is far inferior to reality.
In subsequent inquiries, the Star Spirit did not hold back.
"Independent spaces like Secret Realms are akin to a layer of the Hive’s shell, encircling the Space Crystal of a complete world, serving both as extension and protection."
"Precisely because of this, breaking through into a world often requires first breaking a Secret Realm before entering real space."
"Oh?"
Chen Feng’s eyes shifted, finally understanding why the Black Tide erupted in a Secret Realm first.
But soon... he considered the anchor points in Nanjiang and Suo Jia City, and even in the Nido Royal Capital.
"There are also some exceptional cases... like the Hive’s surface layers being uneven in thickness, and the world’s Space Crystal not being perfectly smooth."
"The independent spaces don’t extend perfectly seamlessly, covering every part of the world barrier, and these weak spots are naturally more prone to being breached."
Ah, so that’s how it is.
Chen Feng’s doubts dispersed, and he finally understood the principle.
"But rest assured, such weak points aren’t many, and even the Black Tide finds it hard to discover them easily."
"Even if they do find one, it requires timing and isn’t easy to break through, given that the world barrier can isolate Chaos."
The Star Spirit quickly provided some reassurance, but Chen Feng felt an increased sense of pressure within.
He greatly disliked this passive feeling.
The Black Tide is a destroyer of civilizations, a creator of apocalypses.
It seemed like a raging ocean with a surging tide, the later it became, the more unstoppable its arrival felt.
Suo Jia City, Nido Royal Capital, Nanjiang... inevitably new cities will face similar situations in the future.
"The Star Realm is so vast, and the dimension in which Earth Star resides is just one of them."
"Then surely, has there never been a world that launched a counterattack?"
Chen Feng couldn’t quite understand, frowning slightly.
"We once ruled most of the worlds in the Star Realm and attempted such endeavors."
"There have been successes, and glories."
"But unfortunately...."
The Star Spirit sighed with a complex expression, containing both regret and resentment.
Chen Feng even saw some confusion in her.
The once strongest Ancient Tado Civilization fell at the hands of the Black Tide, its ruled worlds also innumerably destroyed.
It seemed like the Black Tide truly was undefeatable, destined to destroy everything in this world.
Furthermore, he had suspicions.
Perhaps the current Earth Star was already one of the few remaining Star Realm civilizations.
