320: Chapter 320: The spermatic ecumen

"Comrade Li Jiaying, long time no see!"

Tang Long entered the spacecraft, walking straight toward Comrade Li Jiaying with a smile.

Comrade Li Jiaying reached out to shake his hand. "Mr. Tang, a pleasure to meet you."

"Don't you want to put handcuffs on me yourself?"

"For someone like you, do handcuffs still have any meaning?"

Tang Long shook his head with a smile. "Very well, I won't force it. And these two are?"

"My colleagues, Old Kui and Little Deer."

"Kui... Deer... The Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Dragon Group? Kui Wood Wolf? Zhang Moon Deer?"

Hearing Tang Long call out their code names directly, Old Kui and Little Deer, who were already nervous, were even more shocked. Little Deer even subconsciously placed her hand on the gun at her waist.

"Little Deer!" Comrade Li Jiaying gave a soft shout to stop her movement, then turned back to Tang Long with a smile.

"She means no harm; it's just that, Mr. Tang... your situation is quite a shock to us."

Tang Long smiled. "I understand. However, if I were your enemy, that thing wouldn't be of any use."

"I suppose so. So, Mr. Tang, are you our enemy or not?"

Facing Comrade Li Jiaying's questioning, Tang Long did not answer rashly; he thought carefully before speaking.

"That depends on what your stance is."

Comrade Li Jiaying said sternly, "The Dragon Group is the force that protects Longxia, and the interests of the Longxia people are paramount. What is your stance?"

Tang Long sighed. "This question is a bit complex and cannot be explained in a few words. If there is a chance to meet the Dragon Head, we can discuss it further. At the very least, I do not wish to be an enemy of Comrade Li Jiaying and the Dragon Group."

Comrade Li Jiaying frowned. "Then what do you want to do now?"

"Besides thanking you in person, I want to return to Earth."

"However, my current situation is quite special, and I probably won't be able to stay conscious for very long."

"According to what you said earlier, after I lose consciousness, there is a high probability that some unpredictable accidents will occur, so I cannot stay on your ship for long."

"Now I want to understand in detail what kind of anomalies I have exhibited, and then figure out a way to deal with them."

Comrade Li Jiaying glanced at Old Kui, who immediately asked the Dragon Head for instructions and received a reply shortly after.

The relevant information regarding Tang Long was transmitted ten minutes later, including the part provided by the Dragon King.

After reading it at top speed, Tang Long remained silent for a long while.

As expected, the time of his anomalies began at the start of the heavenly change beta test.

As for the subsequent times, they basically matched his own analysis.

However, the fact that he released radiation on Earth and actually caused Comrade Li Jiaying and some soldiers to mutate... what was going on there?

Could it be... due to the influence of the Holy Dragon Power?

At this moment, Comrade Li Jiaying tried asking, "Tang Long, what exactly... is your situation right now?"

Tang Long gave a bitter smile. "If I said that I had Transmigrated back from the future, would you believe me?"

Little Deer was the first to raise her hand. "I believe you!"

Seeing the strange looks from Comrade Li Jiaying and Old Kui, she loudly retorted, "What's wrong?"

"Look at him. A few months ago, he was just an ordinary thief. And now? What difference is there between him and the Superman in science fiction movies?"

"So, what is impossible about time travel?"

Old Kui just shook his head.

Comrade Li Jiaying also said, "Time travel and psychic powers are not the same thing."

Little Deer hurriedly asked, "Tang Long, what is the future like? Did you obtain this set of superpowers from the future as well? Does everyone in the future have superpowers?"

Tang Long sighed deeply. "The future... humanity has almost gone extinct. My abilities were not obtained from the future, but rather... from another world."

He used as concise and refined language as possible to roughly describe what was going to happen, as well as his own experiences.

After listening, the three of them fell into deep silence.

The game is actually a real world... breaking the dimensional wall to invade reality... the end of the world... martial arts, and even... gods?

Even with their experience, they dared not believe these things were true for a moment. Even with Tang Long right in front of them, they could not help but be skeptical.

Even Tang Long himself felt that it was simply impossible to make them believe all this immediately.

In this silence, a voice suddenly came from the communication device on the console.

"Mr. Tang Long, I am the Dragon Group leader."

"I would like to ask, how long is it until the day of the disaster you mentioned?"

"There is another question... right now, has the reality you know changed compared to the previous life you experienced?"

"Let me ask more simply and directly: can fate be changed?"

Tang Long's eyes lit up instantly. "From now until the disaster strikes, there are about seven and a half years."

"As far as I know, fate can be changed."

"Everything I have done in the Tianbian World has been an effort toward this end."

After a few seconds, the leader replied again, "When you return, let's have a good talk."

When Tang Long woke up from the laboratory again, he felt incredibly exhausted.

His muscles, blood vessels, bones, and even his internal organs were filled with tearing pain, making him not want to move at all.

Checking the time, he found that he had stayed in the other world for over three hours this time.

He had already voluntarily completed the turn and was drifting through deep space toward Earth. The spacecraft would complete its lunar orbit in about two hours, and then accompany him on the journey home.

If he wanted to return synchronously, he would need to go over again in two hours to accelerate himself.

However, the aftereffects of this injection were too severe. Ever since his Transmigration and Rebirth, even during his days as a mine slave, he had never felt this uncomfortable.

He was probably still too weak.

The lights outside turned on, and Governor Jiang Shiqi appeared quickly in front of the large window.

"Kid, if you keep going like this, you'll work yourself to death."

Tang Long let out a long sigh. "Elder Jiang, I'm fine; I'll be better after a rest. Prepare the same dosage of the stock solution for me again; I'll do it again in two hours."

"Again? I'm afraid that won't do."

Tang Long frowned. "What's wrong? Do you have thoughts about my previous request?"

Governor Jiang Shiqi sneered twice. "Your request is certainly excessive. To support you, the Jiang Family has been pushed to the forefront of the storm, and you want to lightly extract yourself? Is that decent?"

"But I called a halt to the experiment not just because of that. We just finished a military meeting, and there are some sudden incidents that are significantly related to you."

"First, in the early hours of this morning, an army of 20,000 from Haixing Kingdom has already moved toward our border. The main cities of Chilin and Nanhe that are adjacent to us also show signs of military mobilization."

"A personal note from the Governor of Haimu City has also been delivered to my desk, demanding that I take responsibility for the actions of some people who attacked Haimu City earlier."

"If I do not give them a satisfactory answer, they claim they will retaliate severely. Kid, this is all trouble you've stirred up."

Tang Long looked completely innocent. "Attacking Haimu City, that was Old Xu's doing! What does it have to do with me?"

"Does it really have nothing to do with you?"

Tang Long could only laugh dryly. "Even if there is a little, it's not much. If a war really breaks out, my meager skills won't be of much use; you can't expect me to take responsibility, can you?"

Governor Jiang Shiqi sneered again. "The military report personally scouted by Yun Zhuoyue says that next to the Haimu City army, a large number of Chaos Walkers have also assembled."

"Song City has just experienced this turmoil; the army has not only undergone a major purge but has also been downsized to five divisions, and it is a moment when military morale is wavering. If we pull them out to fight now, do I need to tell you the consequences?"

"So, if I don't go to you for this, who should I go to?"

Tang Long's face twitched, and he could only say, "Fine, I have a way to deal with the Chaos Walkers; I'll take this job. Hurry up and prepare the stock solution for me; my matter is very important too."

Governor Jiang Shiqi waved his hand. "No rush. That was just the first thing; there is a second thing."

"Your reputation as the 'Reincarnated Saint' has already spread."

"The Holy See has sent a delegation, led by Archbishop Meng Fan, accompanied by two bishops and two Apostles, claiming to be acting under the Pope's decree to verify your authenticity."

"As for this matter, what do you think should be done?"

Tang Long immediately scoffed. "Who does the Holy See think they are? Whether I am real or fake is for the High Priest of the Songcheng Sect to decide."

"High Priest Shang Yuleng? Heh, I'm afraid he won't be as obedient to you as he was before, right?"

Tang Long was even more surprised. "What's wrong now?"

Governor Jiang Shiqi's expression became even stranger. "Two hours ago, a beautiful woman found the Jinyue Martial Arts Hall and claimed to be your wife."

"You don't want to marry my Xiao Lan, that's fine. You don't give High Priest Shang Yuleng's sister a title, and I can't control that either."

"But you actually still have time to go out and mess around, causing such a big problem at a time like this?"

"Kid, what the hell are you doing? Has lust clouded your brain?"
