832: gather

“Old guys left over from the ancient era?” Yue Shan mimicked Yang Dian's manner, looking towards the west.

“Are you talking about those gods in the west?”

Yang Dian nodded.

“Yes.”

“I calculated a long time ago that they were planning to stir up trouble.”

“But I didn't calculate exactly when they planned to do it.”

“I considered that they might cause some trouble before entering the Extreme Cold Zone, and I also thought they might strike us from behind when we encountered a powerful enemy.”

“I didn't expect it to be now.”

Speaking of this, Yang Dian turned back to look at Yue Shan:

“Perhaps it's because they've been under the 'Seal' for too long.”

“Or perhaps we overestimated the ancient era.”

“In any case, the strength of those gods is quite average.”

“Most are around the Star-Patrolling Realm, a few are in the Star Dome Realm, but there are definitely no Star-Crushing level existences.”

“In ancient times when technology was underdeveloped, the supernatural was not apparent, and the masses were ignorant, they might have been able to call themselves gods.”

“But now, at most, they are just cultivators with slightly stronger strength.”

“Uncle Yue, do you want to go test their standard?”

Yue Shan showed an eager expression:

“Test the standard of those gods?”

“Sure.”

“I really want to test the quality of the previous generation of civilization.”

“But just the two of us?”

“Should we call Lei Ming, Old Daoist Qingfeng, and the others?”

“We haven't gotten together for a long time, why not take this opportunity to have a gathering?”

Yang Dian had no objections to this:

“Of course.”

“I'll notify them now.”

Casually clicking open the [High-End Combat Power, Global Flight Capable] group that hadn't been opened for a long time, Yang Dian found the last message was frozen from two months ago.

Yue Shan, who also saw the panel projected in front of Yang Dian, said:

“Ever since your strength exceeded the normal standard, the number of people chatting in the group has gradually decreased.”

“The stronger your strength, the fewer people chat.”

“Of course, it's not that people in the group don't communicate; it's just that they've formed some small groups in private.”

Yang Dian smiled:

“It's human nature.”

After laughing, he didn't send a message in the group, but just clicked on the group member list, sorting by the strength of the group members.

Undoubtedly, after sorting, the one at the very top was him.

[Yang Dian, Position: Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Strength: Fifth Stage Early Stage (Stellar Level Early Stage)]

Below him was Yue Shan, who was by his side.

[Yue Shan, Position: Director of the Martial Security Bureau, Strength: Third Stage Middle Stage (Star Dome Realm Middle Stage)]

After seeing Yue Shan's position clearly, Yang Dian didn't even lift his head:

“Uncle Yue, when did you get promoted?”

Yue Shan was a bit helpless:

“It happened after I completely controlled the great unified survival will.”

“Director Mo said that after he became the Director of the Martial Security Bureau, his strength hadn't improved much.”

“Coincidentally, I controlled the great unified survival will, have more brains, and thoughts turn quickly, so even if I was distracted by matters in the bureau, it wouldn't delay my Cultivate, so he threw this position of director to me and ran off to Cultivate himself.”

Yang Dian glanced at the group.

Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau's strength in the group was not weak, but not strong either.

Second Stage, which is the Star-Patrolling Realm Early Stage strength, ranked 21st in the group, and he currently held no position.

It's no wonder he threw the position to Yue Shan.

His former strength was far stronger than Yue Shan's; in China, he couldn't be counted as the best, but he wasn't far off.

And now?

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front; although he wouldn't say he was about to be slapped to death on the beach, it wasn't far off.

After all, even Yang Lele's ranking in the group was above his.

No wonder he couldn't wait to throw the position to Yue Shan and go Cultivate desperately.

Thinking about this, Yang Dian saw that Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau's ranking in the group had moved up three places.

Yue Shan, who also saw the change in Mo Yuntao, Director of the Martial Security Bureau's ranking, said:

“Recently, everyone's strength has changed quite quickly.”

“Contracting Extreme Cold Creature, raising Extreme Cold Creature, and waiting for the Extreme Cold Creature to become stronger to feed back to oneself.”

“Compared to before entering the Extreme Cold Zone, our strength has doubled.”

“The Old Ancestor was right.”

“It really is true that fortune and misfortune are interdependent.”

Yang Dian nodded slightly:

“For now, there is more fortune.”

“After all, if you lose the land but keep the people, both people and land will be saved; if you keep the land but lose the people, both people and land will be lost.”

“With increased strength, even if the Earth explodes, we can still do well in the Universe.”

During the conversation, Yang Dian had already selected everyone with Second Stage Star-Patrolling Realm strength, and then sent a mass message.

[Foreign mythical deities are awakening, does anyone want to use those gods to practice?]

As soon as the message was sent, Yang Dian received a reply in the next second.

It was sent by Yang Lele.

[Big brother, I'll go.]

[Hurry up and pull me back.]

With a thought, he locked onto the location of Yang Lele's System, and the next moment, the Dimension Butterfly flapped its wings, directly pulling Yang Lele back from Mars.

As soon as she landed, Yang Lele started complaining:

“Big brother, you don't know, Zero said that after organizational discussion, in order to ensure our safety and maximize benefits, the targets found for us are all one small Realm lower in strength than us.”

“From the beginning until now, I have fought more than 30,000 Extreme Cold Creature, and basically every time it's a one-hit kill, it doesn't serve the purpose of training at all.”

“It's not as good as fighting your projection in the arena of the territory map.”

During the conversation, more messages returned to Yang Dian's side.

Some people expressed wanting to see the so-called deities and wanted to participate in the war.

Some people, after asking about the strength of the deities, felt it was a waste of time to fight the deities compared to catching two more Extreme Cold Creature to improve their strength, and refused quite straightforwardly.

There were also people who were hesitant, wanting to fight the deities to do their part, but also wanting to capture Extreme Cold Creature to improve their strength.

Yang Dian simply let those who were hesitant continue to capture Extreme Cold Creature.

Then, without him needing to order, the Dimension Butterfly perched on his shoulder waiting for orders flapped its wings twice.

The next moment, the cursing Old Daoist Qingfeng, Lei Ming wearing exoskeleton armor, Tang Shichang who had been in seclusion at Zhongnan Mountain and hadn't even gone to capture Extreme Cold Creature, the fully armed Director of the Special Administration Bureau Gu Jisheng, Chen Jie who practiced the knight's Dao and snatched a Emerald Dragon from Yang Dian's hands and evolved into a Dragon Rider, Wang Wu who looked like a passerby uncle...

A total of 16 people gradually materialized from emptiness and appeared in the small courtyard of Yang Dian's house.

Yang Dian knew some of them, and was even very familiar with them.

For example, Old Daoist Qingfeng, Lei Ming, Chen Jie, Wang Wu.

These were all people he had fought side by side with before.

Some were familiar faces, like Tang Shichang and Gu Jisheng; these two had interacted before.

There were also some whose names he had only heard, and he had only seen them once at some important meetings.

For example, Wu Qiang from the military, Fan Sheng, Ji Tianci...

Yang Dian, who had summoned everyone, looked around at the crowd who were rubbing their hands and preparing to strike, and just as he was about to speak, Old Daoist Qingfeng said somewhat impatiently:

“Just us?”

“But it's enough.”

“With you, Young Yang, holding the fort, we are just here to go through the motions and accumulate some experience in fighting against experts.”

“Let's go, let's go.”

“I've been raising my sword for these days, and I've long been impatient to cut something.”

“Those gods in the west came out at the right time, just right for me to test my sword.”

Yang Dian smiled:

“Old Daoist, cut your sword slower, don't cut all those gods down.”

“They finally jumped out with great difficulty, and I was still planning to keep those gods to ask some things...”
