1161: The intention of leaving

“I can’t persuade those big shots!”

Hearing his Senior Brother’s words, Wang Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Those big shots from the Dragon Country Magic Technology Institute, holed up in the space battleship’s main control room and power room, were all well-deserved “national treasures.”

Many of them were people Wang Chen had learned about from textbooks when he was in school.

Although Wang Chen was now the Supreme Expert of Blue Star and had been promoted from Commander of the Expeditionary Netherworld Army Group to Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Country Military Department, these old men and women were all very polite to him, but…

If he really had to go and persuade them, he’d rather not!

The formulas and various theorems he had memorized in school had long been forgotten by Wang Chen, and he didn’t want to be surrounded by a group of grandpas and grandmas, receiving a baptism of knowledge.

“Hehe!”

“It seems Junior Brother, you also have a day when you’re afraid!”

Seeing this, the smile on Bai Ziting’s face grew wider.

The current Wang Chen felt more like a person made of flesh and blood, not like the distant Supreme Expert of Blue Star who had just been suspended in the sky, pressing down with one palm to eradicate a disaster covering thousands of miles, high above like a god.

Bai Ziting thought to himself.

But at this moment, he didn’t know that Wang Chen was also filled with emotion.

Ever since he defeated Alfonso Rothschild, Elizabeth III, and Auglaff, the three 11th Stage experts, and ascended to the position of Supreme Expert of Blue Star, an invisible chasm seemed to have formed between him and the people around him.

Except for those extremely close to him, others, even if their eyes appeared calm on the surface, had deep reverence hidden in their gazes.

It was more like looking up at a Zun Shen.

This made Wang Chen feel quite uncomfortable.

And what made him even more exasperated was that in his hometown, Dongling City, he had been completely deified.

Dongling No. 1 High School has now almost become a sacred place in the hearts of all young men and women in the Dragon Country, and even Blue Star. Every day, countless people come to visit Dongling No. 1 High School.

They wanted to find out what kind of magic Dongling No. 1 High School possessed to be able to cultivate Wang Chen, a Supreme Expert of Blue Star who was less than twenty years old!

And the classroom Wang Chen once stayed in, the chair he sat on, and the desk he used, have become treasures, treated as the most valuable exhibits in the Dongling City Museum, which was recently established.

It is said that…

Dongling City’s current financial revenue has increased by nearly a hundredfold, and one-third of it comes from the museum’s most valuable exhibits.

Countless people who came from afar, waving wads of cash, wanted a chance to sit on the chair, but couldn’t get it!

This almost left Wang Chen speechless!!

He felt that if things continued to develop like this, he would soon be enshrined in a living shrine while still alive.

It was simply too difficult!

“Oh, Senior Brother.”

Wang Chen shook his head, suppressing the helplessness in his heart, and asked Bai Ziting:

“What’s the situation in Sakura Country now?”

“I heard their entire coastline is blockaded, they’ve completely closed off the country and are not having any contact with the outside world. Are they planning to hide on their island until the end of time?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Hearing Wang Chen’s words, Bai Ziting shook his head, the smile on his face fading.

“According to the current information, Sakura Country’s blockade this time is very thorough. All Sakura Country citizens not in Sakura Country proper have been cut off from contact with the mainland. Not to mention returning, they can’t even make a phone call.”

“Moreover, Sakura Country has even blocked the passage to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield. Their 200,000 Self-Defense Forces remaining in Free Fortress will probably run out of supplies in a while.”

Bai Ziting’s tone became somewhat playful as he said this:

“It is said, just said!”

“Eagle Country seems to have plans to turn these 200,000 Self-Defense Forces into pathfinders. After discovering they couldn’t contact Sakura Country, Eagle Country, relying on its supreme command authority over the fortress, wants to break up these 200,000 Self-Defense Forces and send them to explore deeper into the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.”

“Although this news has not yet been confirmed, I feel it’s almost certainly true, probably going through the procedures in Eagle Country’s Congress.”

“Oh?”

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, then smiled indifferently.

“Exploring deeper into the Myriad Heavens Battlefield? That’s good too!”

“It saves them from being idle and causing trouble everywhere.”

“If we can obtain more intelligence about the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, it’s also good news for us.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but recall the intelligence he obtained from the Dead Spirit Race in the Netherworld.

The Dead Spirit Race, which caused a thousand years of chaos throughout the Netherworld, was just a small contingent that had drifted into the Netherworld; there was a more terrifying existence behind them.

Wang Chen didn’t know what this existence was, but he thought it should be related to the wild monsters that appeared on Blue Star, after all, the Dead Spirit Race could also provide experience to Awakeners like wild monsters.

Wang Chen had never told anyone about this information, keeping it to himself, otherwise, once it spread, it would cause great panic.

Moreover, what he knew now was just a tiny bit, and there might be an even more terrifying existence hidden in the unknown than what he currently guessed.

“It seems it’s time for me to get moving; this leisurely life should end!”

In his thoughts, Wang Chen already had a faint intention to explore the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

However, not now.

In a few days, it would be the most important day for all young men and women on Blue Star: the day the Awakener Transfer Ceremony begins.

For Wang Chen, this also meant that it had officially been one year since he became a Awakener, which was extremely significant, a day when his life changed.

Wang Chen wanted to spend this day with his relatives, friends, and parents.

“There’s no need to worry about Sakura Country. Since they want to close off their country, let them stay on their island obediently.”

“With their strength, even if they wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn’t be able to stir up any waves.”

Seeing his Senior Brother Bai Ziting still frowning in thought, Wang Chen said with a smile, pointing to the deck beneath their feet as he spoke.

Although the Ice Purity space battleship was nothing to him, and even felt fragile for combat.

But that was because he was too strong!

He had already surpassed everyone, almost reaching the limit of Blue Star.

The space battleship, which was like a toy to him, was a colossal entity capable of suppressing a nation and contending with Peak 10th Stage experts when placed outside.

This single space battleship alone could make Sakura Country breathless.

“This… you’re right!”

Bai Ziting was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then also smiled.

Just then.

“It’s done!”

“This old man has finally figured out its operating principle!”

A voice, trembling with excitement, suddenly reached the deck, and then Wang Chen and Bai Ziting heard continuous cheers.

“Great, our Dragon Country can also independently produce space battleships!”
