146: The Crisis of Returning to Blue Planet

Mo Yan fell silent.

He could imagine that scenario.

When survival becomes the only luxury, the bottom line of human Heart-Nature will be infinitely lowered.

Order will collapse, morality will be lost, and the Law of the jungle will become the only Law.

And he, with the privilege of 100% manifestation cost reduction, was destined to stand at the top of the food chain.

Li Zezhong looked at Mo Yan’s silent expression, knowing that he had already understood the stakes involved.

He lowered his voice: “Besides this, there’s also the most important information.”

“Our Dragon Country took first place overall this time, and we’re too much in the limelight.”

“When we return to Blue Star, we will definitely be seen as a thorn in the side by other countries, especially those from Eagle Country!”

“In the Lord World, the distance between some territories is vast, so they’d need luck to even make a move. But once we return to Blue Star, it’ll be a face-to-face confrontation!”

“At that time, it won’t be a small skirmish between a few Lords, but a direct conflict between nations!”

In the virtual light screen, Li Zezhong’s eyes were filled with worry.

“Brother, after you go back, you must be careful. Those people’s methods will only be dirtier and more ruthless than those idiots from Korea!”

Mo Yan, upon hearing this, instead showed a smile.

“I understand.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li. If they dare to cause me trouble, I will not hold back. It just so happens that my territory upgrade still lacks a lot of resources.”

Li Zezhong was momentarily speechless seeing his calm demeanor.

This kid, his Heart-Nature is too big, isn’t it?

But then he thought, with Mo Yan’s strength and Heart-Nature, perhaps he was indeed overthinking things.

He smiled bitterly: “You kid… never mind, as long as you know what you’re doing.”

“In any case, these few days, not a single second can be wasted. I also need to seize the time to hoard more resources, striving to have a place to settle down when I return.”

Mo Yan nodded in understanding.

In this chaotic world, huddling together for warmth is an inevitable trend.

He then asked: “Brother Li, are you alone right now, or have you already joined an Alliance?”

“If not, I’ve built an Alliance here; I can pull you in. Although there aren’t many people, they are all trustworthy.”

Li Zezhong on the other end of the virtual light screen was first stunned, then shook his head.

“You kid, you’re quick on your feet, you’ve even built an Alliance.”

“I appreciate the thought. However, I was contacted by the official people some time ago.”

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow: “Official?”

Li Zezhong’s expression became serious, his voice full of pride.

“They used special means to find us former soldiers, as well as some Lords within the system.”

“I am now in the East District No. 6 Alliance; I’ve rejoined the ranks, so to speak.”

Mo Yan understood.

This was very reasonable; people like Li Zezhong, who were disciplined and responsible, were the backbone forces the officials most needed to stabilize the situation.

“That’s good too. Having an organization to rely on is always safer than fighting alone.”

“That’s the truth.” Li Zezhong agreed wholeheartedly, “Everyone in our Alliance is from the official side, and our goal is clear: to unite all forces that can be united to deal with future crises.”

He looked at Mo Yan with burning eyes.

“Brother, I told the higher-ups about your performance before, and they’ve been wanting to recruit you. If you’re interested, I can help you connect with them.”

Mo Yan smiled faintly, his eyes serious.

“Thank you for your kind offer, Brother Li, but I’m used to being free and don’t want to be constrained for now.”

Joining an official Alliance meant having to follow rules and report situations.

His SSS-grade talent was his biggest trump card, and he didn’t want it exposed to too many people’s eyes.

Maintaining the status of a free ally was most beneficial to him.

Li Zezhong seemed to have anticipated this answer and did not press the matter.

“You kid, I knew I couldn’t keep you. Alright, I understand. But our brotherhood is here, so if you ever need help, just ask anytime, don’t be a stranger, brother.”

“Definitely.” Mo Yan replied.

As the call was about to end, a flash of inspiration struck Mo Yan, and he suddenly remembered a crucial matter.

He remembered that Li Zezhong’s starting area was in the ice plains.

Mo Yan’s expression changed instantly.

“Oh, right, Brother Li, since you’re in the ice plains now, I need to warn you about a place you need to pay special attention to.”

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Li Zezhong also sat up straight.

“What place?”

“Ice Rift Valley.” Mo Yan’s tone was unusually solemn, “You absolutely must not take anyone to that place, and certainly don’t go near it.”

Li Zezhong was very surprised: “Is it very dangerous here? My teammates and I were just thinking of going in tomorrow to take a look.”

“Listen to me, don’t go.” He said decisively, “What’s in there is not something you can handle right now.”

“There’s an extremely powerful exotic beast entrenched there that absolutely must not be provoked.”

Li Zezhong’s face turned grim.

“How strong? We have two hero units and can gather over a thousand troops. Can we still not deal with one exotic beast?”

Mo Yan leaned forward, his eyes sharp.

“Brother Li, let me put it this way.”

“Even if your Alliance’s forces doubled and you had a few more hero units, going there would only be fodder for it.”

“The terror of that thing is not something that can be compensated by numbers. It’s an absolute crushing at the level of life itself.”

“My perception of energy is much more acute than the average person’s.”

“I can only tell you that the energy reaction there is the most terrifying I have ever seen.”

“The only reason I got out alive was pure luck; that thing had just woken up and didn’t take us seriously.”

Li Zezhong could hear the gravity in Mo Yan’s words; he was definitely not joking.

What level of exotic beast could make Mo Yan describe it with “absolute crushing” and “most terrifying”?

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead. Thinking that he almost led over a thousand brothers to their deaths, a chill ran down his spine.

“I understand.” Li Zezhong took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Thank you, brother, your information saved our lives.”

“You’re welcome, Brother Li. Mutual reminders are only right.” Mo Yan leaned back in his chair.

“In any case, stable development is the kingly Way before returning to Blue Star.”

“That’s true.” Li Zezhong nodded with lingering fear, “I will immediately notify the other two teammates and report the news of Ice Rift Valley, designating it as a top-level restricted area!”

The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences, then ended the communication.

Silence returned to the dormitory.

Mo Yan looked at the deepening night outside the window.

Li Zezhong’s warning merely confirmed the future he had already foreseen.

And the threat from the Yu Han Alliance was temporarily handled by Bai Lingyue’s grand array.

There would be no problem.

Now, he could calmly deal with his most important matter.

Hatching that Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix pet egg!

He walked to the bedside, and with a thought, took out a large amount of obsidian from his talent space and poured it onto the ground.

Then he stacked the pieces of obsidian on the ground to form a square base.

Afterward, he took out a large amount of scorching fire crystal stone and neatly placed them on top of the obsidian base, constructing an upward-facing funnel-shaped nest.

The entire hatching nest had a restrained black exterior and a scorching orange-red interior. The two energies intertwined, forming a stable energy field.

After doing all this, he then took out the Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix pet egg from his talent space.
