109: First Consul

Stepping off the aircraft, the scene before them surprised everyone even more.

The surrounding streets were paved with new Materials that had self-repairing functions, and the surfaces of various buildings were covered with a protective shield modified by special technology. It could constantly change the indoor climate according to needs and even had a powerful air purification effect.

Only then did everyone realize the origin of that aura of life.

Not far away, a giant tree whose top couldn't be seen appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is the Tree of Life personally cultivated by the First Executive Officer," Murong Fu's voice came over. "It can purify pollution, regulate the climate, and even resist attacks at the Demigod level."

As they spoke, a squad of guards walked over.

Their appearance was like warriors clad in armor, but flesh and blood tissue grew at the joints, and human-like light flickered in their electronic eyes.

"Biomechanical entities?" Zhou Xing subconsciously tensed his muscles.

"Relax," Wei Guangming patted his shoulder. "These are 'Iron Guards' specifically modified and designed. They are absolutely loyal and responsible for patrolling various areas. Their strength ranges from foundation condensation to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. They can greatly alleviate the pressure on Awakened Ones."

Wei Guangming knew that these things normally appeared more frequently at Divine Gene, and Zhou Xing had never encountered The Watchers' biomechanical entities when he was in Xia Country.

However, once such things are researched, they can be applied in various places and serve as a good helper.

One shouldn't directly resist them just because Divine Gene possesses them.

Passing through layers of security checks, everyone arrived at an antique-style building on the east side of the city, which looked like a garden and made people feel very comfortable.

Pushing open the door, gentle sunlight spilled onto the floor through the glass dome.

A woman wearing a plain white robe was pruning a bonsai with her back to everyone, her silver-white long hair loosely tied up with vines.

This person was the First Executive Officer of The Watchers, an Awakened One of the god of healing at the Middle Stage of the Demigod rank—Liu Shuyun.

"Guangming..." She sighed at this moment without turning her head, "Every time you come to see me, it's never for anything good. This time, your divinity almost collapsed."

Wei Guangming coughed awkwardly: "Sister, this time the situation was special."

Liu Shuyun turned around, revealing a face as gentle as jade.

Then she looked at Wei Guangming. Her face, which was originally like a spring breeze, suddenly turned cold, and her voice was somewhat chilly: "Do you not want your life anymore? You actually used a light source crystal."

As she spoke, she stepped forward quickly, her fingertips glowing with an emerald halo.

Wherever the light passed, the cracks under Wei Guangming's skin receded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Hiss..." Wei Guangming groaned, "Sister, be gentler."

At this moment, Wei Guangming seemed like a child acting spoiled, making Zhou Xing and the others feel it was unbelievable.

"Serves you right!" Liu Shuyun glared at him, but still slowed down her power a bit. "Seventy percent of your Meridians are damaged, and your divinity almost became disordered... Even with recovery, you have to rest quietly for two months, and you absolutely cannot fight during this period."

Wei Guangming nodded honestly.

Ten minutes later, Liu Shuyun wiped the slight beads of sweat from her forehead and withdrew her power. "Alright, basically recovered. Tell me briefly? Isn't it just escorting a few little guys? And with Xiao Fu following along, how did it get so messy..."

Nodding, Wei Guangming gave Liu Shuyun a general account of what had happened before.

"Gao Yun personally took action for a Triple-element Fusion Awakened One? If I remember correctly, Shen Wubing's son, Shen Lang, is in Godfall City, right? If so, it really is something he would do.

For the research of multi-element Fusion, three or four Triple-element Fusion Awakened Ones have already died at his hands."

"Hmm? That's not right either. Just triple-element isn't worth you leaving Dawn City to escort them personally, especially with Murong Fu taking the initiative to meet you. Could it be?"

Suddenly thinking of something, in an instant, a gentle force enveloped Zhou Xing.

[Powerful force detection detected, System's hidden ability activated.]

The System's reminder made Zhou Xing secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't want to expose more abilities so soon; six elements were already enough for now.

He had occasionally communicated with the System in secret before, knowing that these Demigod experts had already begun to condense their Godheads.

However, no matter what divinity fragment it was, they all actually had pollution. If not eliminated, when the Godhead was condensed, there was a possibility of being occupied by the original will of the god.

At that time, it would be hard to say if these people were still themselves. He had to be careful.

Therefore, up to now, even the Demigods of The Watchers were not enough for Zhou Xing to trust completely.

According to the information Zhou Xing had previously obtained from Wei Guangming,

The reason why those two Peak Demigod experts from Divine Gene were in a state of slumber:

One was to condense their Godheads,

The second was to purify and erase the pollution of the god's will within the divinity fragments as much as possible.

"Hmm? Frost and Flame are average, but there's also the aura of the god of healing?"

The power of the dual Frost and Flame elements wasn't enough for Liu Shuyun to take seriously, but the aura of the god of healing brought a look of pleasure to her expression.

Most importantly, she also felt several other types of auras, and her expression quickly became much more serious.

"Besides these three types, there are actually the auras of light, Shadow, and the god of war. Six-element? Then it's not surprising. It seems our Watchers have discovered an extraordinary Genius."

At this time, Liu Shuyun chose to communicate with Wei Guangming via voice transmission.

"Yes, Sister. His situation was specifically explained by Commander Jiang Ming. I didn't intend to hide it from you on purpose; even Murong Fu probably doesn't know."

Wei Guangming also nodded at this time and explained.

Liu Shuyun was able to detect it because of the special nature of her own divinity; it wasn't that he had actively disclosed it.

As for Liu Shuyun, her heart was shocked at this moment.

She had seen triple-element and quadruple-element, but six-element, this was truly the first time she had seen it. Most importantly, she could feel that the other party seemed to be hiding something intentionally.

Could it be more than six elements?

Because she herself was a Triple-element Fusion, besides the god of healing, she was also an Awakened One of the god of plants and the god of flesh. In terms of life detection, even Commander Jiang Ming and the others were not as good as her.

When her true strength fully erupted, it was close to or even no less than a Late-Stage Demigod, which was also the reason why she could become the First Executive Officer.

If her guess was truly correct, a truly absolute super-expert would indeed appear in The Watchers in the near future.

As for Murong Fu, he wasn't curious about the private communication between the two at this time.

After all, Wei Guangming and Liu Shuyun were cousins. After both of their parents and families failed to survive the divinity erosion in the early years, the relationship between the two was completely no different from that of biological siblings.

"Murong, you've worked hard on this trip as well." No longer thinking too much, Liu Shuyun also enveloped Murong Fu with a Light of Healing.

Soon, Murong Fu's exhaustion was completely restored.

"Thank you, Sister Yun."

Murong Fu grinned and hurriedly thanked her.

"We are all family, no need for politeness. You two still have to arrange things for these little guys, so I won't keep you any longer. Come and sit when you have time."

"Alright, Sister. Then I'll take them and leave first. I'll come to see you again later."

Nodding, Wei Guangming and Murong Fu led Zhou Xing and the others toward another direction.
