83: Chapter 83 Meeting

Chen Mo also saw the statement from Xia Country.

Chen Mo looked up at the ocean to the west.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean lay the coastline of Xia Country.

He recalled the sentence he said to Cheng Jian a few months ago: "We will meet eventually."

It was time.

The plane rescue incident showed the world power, and the nuclear explosion in Africa taught the world to be in awe.

Now, it was time to point the way for this world.

On March 20, Chen Mo arrived in Jing City.

He first went to the western suburb training ground.

He owed Cheng Jian a formal meeting.

Chen Mo hovered above the training ground.

His perception covered the area below; Cheng Jian was in the innermost training zone, alone.

A stable Rhythm had already formed between his breathing and his body, and every inhalation was accompanied by the coordinated contraction of deep muscle groups.

His body was absorbing the scattered Spiritual Qi at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Mo landed silently five meters behind him.

Cheng Jian had just finished a set of training and straightened up to adjust his breathing.

Sweat dripped from his forehead onto the concrete floor.

"Cheng Jian."

The voice was very soft, as plain as that one in the mountains of Yi City.

Cheng Jian's body stiffened for an instant.

Then he turned around abruptly.

His heels made a short friction sound on the concrete, and his center of gravity shifted the moment he turned, almost causing him to lose his footing.

He saw Chen Mo.

Then he froze.

He had seen that blurry figure in the video, moving through the woods.

But the person in front of him was different from the shadow in his memory.

It wasn't just the difference in appearance; appearance could change.

It was the aura.

The young man standing there was like a mountain folded into the shape of a human body.

He didn't deliberately emit pressure, nor did he show off his power; just by standing there, he made the surrounding air dense.

Cheng Jian's throat moved, and he opened his mouth: "Are you... the person who gave me the notes that day?"

His voice was much lower than usual.

It was as if something was pressing on his chest, and his voice could only come out that much.

"Yes."

Chen Mo said, "Can't believe it?"

"No," he said, "It's not that I can't believe it. It's..."

He paused.

"I have a lot to say to you. But when I actually saw you, I didn't know where to start."

"You can take your time."

Chen Mo walked to the bench on the edge of the training ground and sat down, "We have plenty of time."

Cheng Jian froze again, then walked over and sat down next to Chen Mo.

There was a distance of half a person between them, not deliberately opened, but because he didn't know whether he should get closer.

The two sat in the afternoon sun like two old acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Chen Mo did not hide his appearance.

At the moment of landing, his perception had already captured the reaction of the base's monitoring System.

The infrared camera in the corner of the playground locked onto his position, and the officer on duty in the control room popped up from his chair.

His finger hovered over the alarm button but did not press it, because he saw Cheng Jian's reaction.

Encrypted information was transmitted from the base to the headquarters of the Aura and Evolution Investigation Department, and then from the headquarters to higher levels.

Chen Mo did not stop it.

He arranged to come at this time, meeting Cheng Jian first, and then letting the higher-ups know, which was meant to give them preparation time.

Cheng Jian lowered his head and was silent for a while.

"Why did you choose me back then?"

"Because I needed to find someone."

Chen Mo said, "My strength was not enough to be exposed to too many people. I could only find someone suitable nearby."

His gaze fell on Cheng Jian.

"I observed you for a long time before I confirmed it was you."

"A long time?"

"Your training habits, your mindset, your reaction to setbacks, and your sensitivity to physical changes. I needed someone who could hand over the Human Breathing Method completely instead of hiding it. You did it."

Then Cheng Jian asked that question, the one he had been afraid to confirm.

"Were those two things both you?"

"Yes."

One word, very simple.

Cheng Jian slowly let out a breath.

That breath was mixed with relief and a sense of shock at being confirmed.

And the other party said "Yes."

No cover-up, no hesitation.

This showed his attitude was very simple: he didn't need to hide anymore.

At the edge of Chen Mo's perception, the movements of the higher-ups were becoming intense.

The conference room was being set up, security was being deployed, and people were constantly confirming time nodes on communication channels.

They were almost ready.

Chen Mo stood up.

"Let's change to another location to talk."

Almost simultaneously, the base commander trotted over.

His pace was fast but his posture was restrained. He stood three meters in front of Chen Mo, very tactfully not getting any closer.

"Hello."

He chose to say directly, "The higher-ups are ready to meet with you. If it is convenient for you, the car is outside."

"No need." Chen Mo stood up.

The Force Field wrapped around his body before Cheng Jian could feel it.

"I'll take him with me. Notify them that we have arrived."

As the words fell.

Cheng Jian felt his body lighten.

The scenery in front of him instantly blurred, turning into countless colored lines flying backward.

Seconds later, his feet touched the ground again; the flying eaves of glazed tiles, the crimson gate, and in front of him was a conference room that was not spacious but had weight in every furnishing.

At the door of the conference room, the top leadership of Xia Country had all taken their places.

No one was waiting in their seats.

Everyone was standing.

Sunlight cut through the floor-to-ceiling windows to create a boundary of light and shadow on the carpet, and they stood in two rows within the boundary line.

Minister Li Long of the Aura and Evolution Investigation Department stood near the window, his shoulders and back straight.

Transmigration across tens of kilometers in seconds, appearing out of thin air at a designated location.

This speed itself was proof of identity.

No one present needed to confirm "whether it was him" anymore.

"Welcome, The Forerunner." The person at the very front reached out.

Chen Mo stepped forward and shook his hand.

The force was not heavy, but at that moment, the other party felt a completely different texture.

It was like holding a stone, stable, constant, without a trace of extra vibration.

"My name is Chen Mo."

Chen Mo stated his name directly.

Everyone present heard it.

A flash of surprise passed over some faces; they were prepared to use the title "The Forerunner," not expecting the other party to report his real name directly.

But the surprise was quickly suppressed; they understood the implication: he reported his real name, which was a gesture.

He did not come as a deity, but stood in this conference room as "Chen Mo."

Chen Mo's voice was calm, as if this were just an ordinary conversation.

"I have come to Xia Country for only one thing: to formally promote the Human Breathing Method."

He continued, without leaving space for small talk.

"The current efficiency is too low. Only Cheng Jian has been confirmed as qualified among tens of thousands of people. This speed cannot keep up with the evolution rate of animals.

Humanity needs to be faster.

With seven billion people globally, only with a large enough sample size, gathering everyone's wisdom and strength,

is it possible to discover laws that I cannot discover alone, and discover things I cannot see."

Minister Li Long took over.

As the Minister of the Aura and Evolution Investigation Department, this was his most familiar field.

"Mr. Chen Mo, we are also ready.

The national promotion plan is scheduled for next month, and the preparatory work has been completed."

Cheng Jian stood at Chen Mo's side, standing quietly.

Chen Mo continued:

"We must continue to accelerate. There is currently only one direction for human evolution—the Human Breathing Method. There is no second path."

His tone was calm but firm.

"The law of ordinary creatures absorbing Spiritual Qi is determined by training intensity and volume.

The more exercise you consume, the more Spiritual Qi you absorb, and the faster your evolution speed will be.

And the Human Breathing Method can increase this efficiency by tenfold.

All kinds of animals are accelerating their evolution; if humans do not accelerate, they will be left behind."

The conference room was silent for a few seconds.

Then the top leader spoke: "Mr. Chen Mo, we originally planned to hold an official explanation regarding the Spiritual Energy Revival tomorrow, March 21st.

Now we want to confirm in advance: will you personally announce the complete evolutionary direction to the whole world at that time?"

Chen Mo nodded: "I will attend."

His gaze swept across the conference room and paused for a moment.

"Tomorrow, I will announce the path and direction of evolution to the whole world."

That night, Xia Country released an official notice: A press conference regarding the Spiritual Energy Revival will be held at 9:00 am on March 21st, and the God of the Human World will attend in person.

The notice was very brief, but the amount of information was enough to suffocate the world.

Four words, "attend in person."

Various countries held emergency meetings overnight.

The President of the United States had a dedicated line to the leaders of Russia, the United Kingdom, and several major allies; the core issue was only one:

If that being really publicly supports Xia Country, what will happen to the existing international order?

The opinions of several strategic analysts were surprisingly consistent: there was no way.

Even nuclear bombs couldn't stop him; it was impossible to use military means to interfere with Xia Country.

Economic sanctions?

Talk about economic sanctions to a person who can travel across the entire country in tens of minutes.

Diplomatic pressure?

Xia Country's current confidence comes from having that person standing behind them.

The conclusion reached by all countries was the same: just wait.

Wait for tomorrow's live broadcast, see what that person says, and see what Xia Country will do.

This determined the fate of the world, and the decision-making power was not in their hands.

Chen Mo did not participate in the subsequent preparatory work.

He flew back to Yi City.

When his uncle saw Chen Mo appear at the door, he was stunned for a moment, then shouted into the house, "Xiao Mo is back."

Chen Mo walked in and sat down.

His uncle gathered around and asked why he came back suddenly without telling them in advance.

Chen Mo listened to them quietly, then spoke.

He explained everything in the most plain way.

Starting from the Human Breathing Method, talking about the plane, Africa, and the press conference tomorrow.

Laying out the facts one by one, as if telling a story that had little to do with himself.

After listening, his uncle held the teacup in his hand and was silent for a long time.

Then he looked up at Chen Mo and asked tentatively, "Then can you fly and let me see?"

Chen Mo didn't speak.

The Force Field unfolded, and he, along with the chair, slowly floated up, hovering half a meter above the ground.

The teacup in his uncle's hand almost fell.

He wasn't afraid, just staring at his nephew hovering in the air, his eyes slowly turning red.

"If your parents were still here... what would they be feeling?"

Chen Mo landed back on the ground.

That night, he took his uncle's family to Jing City.

The Xia Country side had already arranged accommodation in advance, and when they saw the line of high-spec reception motorcades, they knew this was for real.

Chen Mo didn't say much to his family, just told them to rest well and watch the live broadcast tomorrow.
