124: Set off!

Fire Controllers like Ye Su always have someone by their side planning the big picture.

This was the case for all five major cities.

Regarding the matter of the trade routes, these individuals had established a small group chat.

When a group of silver-tier schemers gets together, it's easy for a 'mastermind' to emerge.

During the divine weapon incident.

Zhuge Hu was the first to take action.

After all, Ye Su had suffered a bit of a setback during the previous Sea Race incident.

Zhuge Hu always remembered this and pinned the ultimate blame on the Human Traitors.

And so.

Once the idea of utilizing the divine weapon was brought up.

The group hit it off immediately.

Then.

Rumors began to fly everywhere!

Li Si from Mountain City was involved, and with Zhuge Hu able to use the influence of others to his advantage, things could eventually be settled.

Unexpectedly.

After the rumors gradually gained momentum.

Someone actually rushed in to fan the flames.

Well then.

The elite Great Xia Professional teams are absolutely the cornerstone of the nation.

Who would want to send these teams to their deaths?

Human Traitors, without a doubt!

Therefore.

Over in Mountain City, they followed the clues and found some leads.

Then, that group of schemers in the small group chat began to move.

These matters wouldn't be reported in minute detail to the Fire Controllers like Ye Su in the background.

After all, for these assisting schemers, the Fire Controllers above them wanted results, not the process.

The process was precisely their responsibility!

And so.

The next day.

Mountain City launched a lightning operation and captured many people.

After a round of 'Great Memory Restoration Techniques'...

They obtained a lot of information.

“Civilization Co-Prosperity Plan? Mountain Village Organization?”

Ye Su looked at the report in his hand, completely stunned.

Wait.

After all these various races have emerged, there are still people who think the Blue Planet can support so many biospheres, and that everyone will eventually recognize each other's existence and live in harmony like humans and animals?

As for how humans and animals live in harmony, it's simple: the most powerful race sets a rare species protection law and puts the rest in cages. That way, they can live in harmony.

One could only say;

Impressive!

This organization named 'Mountain Village' fully demonstrated the diversity of evolution.

All sorts of freaks were coming out of the woodwork.

“Last time, when the Sea Race knew five minutes in advance that Great Xia would launch a nuclear bomb, it was someone from this organization who tipped them off,” Zhuge Hu said.

“So, we suspect that the higher-ups—”

“Enough.”

Ye Su interrupted him.

“Just dig them out slowly.”

“The most important thing at this stage is still the matter of the Kunlun Divine Weapon.”

Now was not the time for a frantic crackdown on these people.

Otherwise, it would make things very awkward for everyone.

The Great Xia authorities, the Professionals, and the Giant Suzhou and Hangzhou Fire Controllers had finally reached a state of equilibrium.

With this timing, they shouldn't break this balance.

The people from 'Mountain Village' couldn't stir up much trouble. As the Professional progression descended, the racial trends were the future.

Perhaps knowing who the Human Traitors were was more useful than the fact that Human Traitors existed.

“Captain Ye, you mean...”

A light flashed in Zhuge Hu's eyes; in his view, Ye Su truly seemed to be growing.

“These types of people will always have a use at some point,” Ye Su said.

Zhuge Hu licked his lips.

Hehe.

Devious enough, just to my taste.

“Keep a close eye on the Divine Weapon and contact the various Giant Cities,” Ye Su said.

“They seem to owe me a huge favor.”

The true intentions were revealed!

You can't bite the hand that feeds you, comrades.

You took the cultivation methods for Divine Abilities.

You ate the Black Armored Scorpion.

And now you say you won't help me?

As if you have a choice?!

Ye Su was determined to get the Kunlun Divine Weapon, the 'swallowing heaven blade'!

---Soon, the Fire Controllers of the various Giant Cities received the message.

All of them frowned at once.

Holy crap.

Time to get to work!

Whether in terms of sentiment or reason, this wave was Ye Su's home turf.

After all, they also had an obligation to maintain the Order and stability brought by the uncrowned king.

As for anyone jumping out to say, 'I'll be the uncrowned king'—well, you'd have to see if you were qualified first.

Would the various Professionals acknowledge you?!

Otherwise, if you caused turmoil in Great Xia, you would be a sinner nailed to the history books!

And so.

Another small group chat was set up.

There were over 20 people in it.

They were all controllers of major cities, and an initial Professional Alliance with the five Giant Cities as managers was already beginning to take shape.

The Great Xia authorities were pushing these matters from the shadows.

The transfer of Authority was proceeding step by step.

Under the changing times, the new Order always had to grow by absorbing the old Order.

The truly great thing about the authorities was...

Preventing blood and fire wars from occurring during this transfer of Authority, thereby avoiding the wasteful consumption of Great Xia's vital strength.

From this.

One could sufficiently see the divine nature possessed by a mature leadership system.

(Don't apply this to reality, though.)

...

Early morning.

Sudden news came from Mountain City.

The light from the treasure chest was flashing abnormally.

The divine weapon was about to be born.

Then.

The various cities stirred into action.

Plane after plane flew directly toward Mountain City.

Ying Si was at the airport to welcome everyone's arrival.

One by one, Professionals in the Streamline Realm stepped off the planes; these were the true bellwethers of the Professionals.

They gathered together, greeting each other or discussing future cultivation methods and their own insights.

But once the plane from Su Hangzhou arrived.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Ying Si and the others had met Ye Su before.

However, there were still many Professionals who had never seen Ye Su.

So.

When this uncrowned king actually appeared, it still drew everyone's attention.

Naturally, among the gazes cast toward the plane's cabin door, there were always some eager provocations.

It was normal.

The core competitiveness in the bones of the Great Xia people was at work.

But when Ye Su truly appeared on the stairs, those gazes were withdrawn in unison as if by unspoken agreement.

In the collision of auras.

They were terrified.

Ying Si, Cui Hu, and the others cried out in their hearts;

Damn it, this guy seems to have gotten even stronger!

The air was fluctuating.

With Ye Su's breathing, it was as if the air around him was rippling like water.

This meant that his aura was gradually condensing.

It had changed from a mere feeling into a tangible suppression.

By the time Ye Su was among the crowd.

These people suddenly discovered that the air they were breathing felt somewhat suffocating.

It was as if the nutrients in the air had already been seized to the greatest extent by Ye Su.

Damn.

Is this the aura of a powerhouse?

It's practically materialized!

Cui Hu and the others looked at each other, a thought rising in their hearts by unspoken agreement;

'We have to find a way to dig something more out of Ye Su; this guy is too abnormal!'

“Ye Su greets everyone.”

Stepping off the stairs, Ye Su was the first to cup his hands and speak to everyone.

And everyone stood straight and cupped their hands in return;

“Greetings, Captain Ye.” * 20

Ye Su nodded, then looked at Ying Si.

This was his home turf.

Ying Si took over the pleasantries and said;

“Everyone, the Divine Weapon treasure chest in the Kunlun Mountains is about to appear. Given that those competing for it are basically all King-level Lifeforms...”

“...the danger is still very high. If you have concerns, you can wait for us to return in Mountain City.”

“If you want to see it for yourselves... then we prepare to depart immediately!”

As he spoke.

He pointed to the large bomber that had already started up nearby.

No one made a sound.

Ye Su took the lead and walked toward the plane.

Soon, everyone followed.

This battle for the Divine Weapon had officially begun!

The Peak Professionals of Great Xia would come face-to-face with the King-level Lifeforms of various races!
