63: Chapter 63 Demonstration

Bo City was located about a hundred kilometers west of Ning City. It was an even smaller city than Ning City, with a population of around five hundred thousand.

As for how many people remained after the advent of Global Survival... that was an unknown number.

"A bit over a hundred kilometers, fine... I'll listen to you." Mu Cheng didn't make a fuss about it.

After roughly two hours of flight, Chu Yaoyao suddenly descended.

"Let's rest and recover first."

Rest and recover? What on earth was this about?

Hearing this... instantly left Mu Cheng utterly bewildered. "We need to worry about recovering?"

"Of course, she's not like you. You're different, understand?" Peppa really wanted to smack him with a trotter, just to get Mu Cheng to use his brain more.

"I get it, I get it." Only then did Mu Cheng understand.

Because of his Devouring Bloodline, his own Bloodline Power recovered faster than it was consumed... allowing him to maintain the Purple Cloud Wings for extended periods.

"Right, I have an idea. Let's give it a try!" Mu suddenly remembered something.

A Talisman Array could convert strange crystals into power. With power, of course, one could fly.

"What kind of crazy scheme are you hatching now?" Peppa asked the question verbally, but in reality... she suddenly started snoring loudly, fast asleep.

Soon, Mu Cheng landed on the ground, in a desolate area... Chu Yaoyao had already begun meditating, and one could see energy fluctuations around her body.

This was proof enough that she was recovering her Bloodline Power!

"Go ahead and do your thing. No danger." Before Mu Cheng could even think about observing the situation, Peppa suddenly chimed in.

"Then I'll try... not sure if it'll work though."

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate. He took out a large black gold hammer... and immediately released black flames to begin forging.

First was the shape, roughly the size of a backpack. In less than a few dozen years, he successfully forged it.

The next step was to use his own Power of Creation, to start imagining the form of flight...

His thought process was this: if he could casually create firearms using the Power of Creation, then what about the flying vehicles from novels and movies...

Of course, that was possible too.

"It's strange though, why were this world's firearms inexplicably decomposed?" Mu Cheng looked at the newly created flight backpack...

He truly couldn't figure it out.

Peppa offered no explanation. Instead, she suddenly said, "You just keep straining your brain! Even your Grandpa Peppa doesn't know. Could you really think it through? Better do what you're supposed to do."

"Alright, alright. Even you don't know... then I'll focus on the task at hand."

Hearing this... Mu Cheng stopped overthinking and began carving a Talisman Array onto the flight backpack.

One to two thousand kilometers away, in Dongfang City, at the Lu Family mansion.

"My dear sister... remember your promise to me." Lu Yuling suddenly patted Lu Yuxuan, who was zoning out, from behind the sofa.

Lu Yuxuan, wearing a blue dress, radiated youthful vitality, perfectly embodying what a female university student should be.

Full of life... though she looked a bit unhappy.

As for Lu Yuling, she was the complete opposite. Wearing a brown dress, her face was all smiles.

"Mhm, mhm, you go ahead! The battlefield is merciless, but people have feelings. If you find a good man, bring back a brother-in-law for me!" Lu Yuxuan slowly spoke.

Lu Yuling paid no mind... For her, finally being able to leave this home, she was overjoyed.

"We'll see if I meet one. Mother has arranged for me to join the Hero Association, so don't worry about safety."

"You... just go, the farther the better!" Lu Yuxuan got angry, picked up a pillow, and threw it at Lu Yuling.

"Alright! Then I'm really going. This parting might be for a year, maybe three. By then... hehe, my little nephew should be running around, right?"

Lu Yuling started speaking quite seriously, but suddenly... became mischievous, made a funny face, and quickly vanished without a trace.

"We'll talk about the future later. Brother Cheng... you must work hard to become stronger quickly."

Lu Yuxuan fell into deep thought again for a while, but soon pulled herself together and pushed open the door to an office.

She began to work...

At the same time, on the eastern city wall of Dongfang City.

"Lu Yunzi, won't you give me an explanation?"

The one shouting was a white-haired old man. The aura emanating from him was even more terrifying than that of the Man in Black encountered before.

"Do I, Lu Yunzi, need you to tell me what to do? But I can give you a chance: defeat me."

Lu Yunzi, a woman of few words, immediately summoned a black gold blade in an instant... and swiftly slashed towards the old man.

Such a brute-force attack was naturally very easy for the old man to dodge.

"Are you sure you want to fight me? Once the rules are broken, do you know the consequences? My demand isn't high; just give me an explanation."

Being a peak existence in the world himself, the old man didn't seek trouble, but he certainly wasn't afraid of it either.

With Lu Yunzi taking such an attitude, he was determined to press the issue, threatening and interrogating...

"The reason? I'm just stirring up trouble for the fun of it. Besides, when I act, do you think I care about so-called rules?" Lu Yunzi threw another punch.

"Very well. If you want a fight, then let's fight!" The old man wasn't one to be trifled with either.

One or two provocations, damn rules... he'd toss them all aside!

He then took the initiative to attack...

"Hahaha! Good, coming right at me. Today, I'll use you to make an example." Seeing her goal achieved, Lu Yunzi...

...naturally showed no mercy. Using sheer brute force alone, she directly pinned the old man to the ground.

"How is this possible... impossible! We're both at the Ninth Order Peak, why are you so much stronger?" The old man was instantly thrown into existential doubt.

In Lu Yunzi's hands, he felt like an ant, utterly powerless to fight back.

"You old man, you've lived over a hundred years. Haven't you heard of the battlefield?" Seeing her goal achieved, Lu Yunzi...

...hadn't intended to kill him from the start, so she decided to spare the old man.

"This world is complex. I'll spare your life today. I hope you'll do your utmost to contribute when the time comes."

"The battlefield... you couldn't possibly have returned from the battlefield? No wonder... I miscalculated everything, never expecting someone could actually return from the battlefield." The old man suddenly became agitated.

"I want to know... since you're already so strong, what kind of enemies are you facing?"

"On the battlefield, there are no victors, only the defeated. What kind of enemies you'll face, you'll know soon enough. Also... this rule about Ninth Order beings not being allowed to fight was made by your predecessors. It shouldn't have existed in the first place, so there's no need for it to remain."

Lu Yunzi offered no further explanation... and soon left.

"The new generation surpasses the old. It seems the rules of the previous generation truly have no reason to exist." The old man soon composed himself and left as well.

The advent of Global Survival brought destruction, but it also heralded the arrival of hope in the not-too-distant future.

Rank 9 Gods of War would absolutely... not be as rare as in the previous generation.
