97: Chapter 97 The Extraordinary Era: We Are All Searching

Mr. Wang was as calm as water. "Oh? I wonder what you are referring to, King Harry?"

"Just now, the United States, Russia, The United Kingdom, the Island Nation, France, and other countries held a global joint meeting. The meeting passed a plan targeting the East."

"This matter, I assume, cannot be hidden from Mr. Wang's eyes."

"I am calling not for any other reason, but because I intend to raise the flag of rebellion and stand with the East to deal with the overwhelming attacks from countries around the world!"

King Harry's blue-black pupils were firm, his words solemn as if he were truly acting for the sake of their past alliance.

"I also learned about the joint plan targeting the East not long ago."

Mr. Wang's calm tone was mixed with a hint of interest:

"However, this is no small matter. One slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the nation and family. King Harry, are you sure you want to choose to stand on the side of the East?"

"Mr. Wang, I have considered all the consequences. I am sure!"

"Good. Then, on behalf of the East, I thank King Harry for your high regard and support."

"I understand your thoughts."

"As a return gift, you may bring all members of the royal family to the East. I will arrange for someone to send them to the origin of the Spiritual Energy Revival—Xiangnan."

"Mr. Wang, I thank you on behalf of the royal family for your hospitality!"

A look of farewell welled up in the depths of King Harry's eyes. With a hint of pleading, he said to Mr. Wang:

"In the future, if they encounter great danger, I ask that Mr. Wang, for my sake, please reach out and help them..."

"Hehe, King Harry, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Things haven't happened yet; how can you be sure that we will definitely be the losers?"

"In the dark, there is a fixed number. We just need to do what we should do, and leave the rest to [Fate]."

Do not be pessimistic?

Leave it to fate?

...Could it be?!

King Harry's pupils shrank suddenly: "Mr. Wang, does the East still have trump cards that have not been revealed?"

"Do one's best, and leave the rest to heaven."

"Who can know what has not yet happened?"

"In the Transcendent Era, you and I are both small boats seeking to 'cross the river'."

A faint voice came through the receiver.

While shocking, one could not help but ponder what Mr. Wang's words really meant.

The bright sun hung in the sky, red and scorching, as if it wanted to boil the entire earth.

Qixia Valley • Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.

Jiang Jin woke up from a semi-slumber, wearing sunglasses.

"Master, half an hour ago, the Wang family sent over some internal information. Would you like to take a look?"

Seeing Jiang Jin wake up from his nap, Zhao Ruohan, wearing a floral dress, walked out of the homestay holding a notebook.

"Not Young Master Wang?"

Jiang Jin's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded, saying: "Bring it here, let me see."

The notebook opened, and after a few taps on the keyboard, a top-secret red-headed document from the East appeared before Jiang Jin.

《Summary of the 'Joint Meeting' Targeting the East Obtained via Dark Channels》

Glancing at the file name, Jiang Jin moved his gaze downward and quickly read through the contents.

Beside him, Zhao Ruohan also began to read the specific details of the decrypted file.

When she saw, "If the East does not open its borders, countries around the world have the power to take any action (including but not limited to resource blockades, economic sanctions, military strikes, and even nuclear carpet bombing)...", she was stunned in place, murmuring in disbelief:

"Are these people crazy? They actually want to adopt such an extreme method?"

"Under nuclear weapons, all living beings are equal."

"Once launched, it will be irreversible. The world will be reduced to ruins and scorched earth, and human civilization might even perish because of it!"

"This is simply not a negotiation, but using a hysterical gambler's method to decide the fate of all mankind!"

*Clap.*

Jiang Jin closed the red-headed document and shut the notebook.

He rested his head on one arm and picked up the new Transcendent fruit tea on the low table, drinking it leisurely.

"...Master, you don't seem worried at all?"

After recovering, Zhao Ruohan realized that Jiang Jin was calm and composed, with no sign of abnormality or heaviness in his eyes.

"If it were before, I would naturally be worried."

"But when the Transcendent foundation scattered across all of Xiangnan, and the Invisible Crystal Curtain enveloped the ancestral land of the East, so-called nuclear weapons... are nothing but small toys."

Jiang Jin chuckled.

"What is a nuclear weapon?"

"It is a [World-Ending] product under the four fundamental forces of physics, but the Transcendent path is detached from the four forces and forms its own system. The so-called nuclear weapons are not worth mentioning."

He spoke slowly again, sharing a thought in his mind with Zhao Ruohan:

"I have been considering recently whether to rewrite the 'physical rules' of the Blue Star, making all physical laws and technological products around the world ineffective?"

"The benefits of doing so are obvious."

"Once the Spiritual Energy Revival is laid out globally, all living things will only focus on stepping onto the Transcendent path, without wasting energy on researching the technological side."

"But if we talk about the disadvantages, there are actually some."

"Our Universe is, after all, a purely physical Universe."

"If there is a lack of deep research into cosmic phenomena and physical rules, it will be very easy to be confused by certain abnormal situations in the future."

Zhao Ruohan listened with trepidation.

Nuclear weapons capable of destroying human civilization were only considered a "small toy" in the Master's eyes?!

However, she heard an unusual tone in Jiang Jin's last sentence. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Master, what do you mean by 'abnormal situations'?"

"Ruohan, do you think humans are the only ones in the Universe?"

Jiang Jin did not answer directly but instead asked a thought-provoking question.

"I don't think so."

Zhao Ruohan sat on the chair next to him, her high ponytail swaying slightly:

"The Universe is vast and boundless. The observable range alone reaches 93 billion light-years."

"On this scale, if no other life exists, that would be too terrifying."

"The birth of life on the entire Blue Star is probably really just a die cast randomly by 'God'."

"Exactly. If the Blue Star is the only place with life in the entire Universe, that simply doesn't conform to logic or probability."

Jiang Jin agreed:

"Therefore, if alien civilizations really appear in the solar system or nearby star systems in the future, without a certain level of scientific understanding, it is difficult to infer their weapon attack methods."

"Master, when a Transcendent reaches a certain Realm, I assume they won't fear technological weapons, right?"

"Individually, the Transcendent system is the strongest personal armed force."

"But if alien civilizations exist, then there must be a 'civilization Rank'. Low-Rank alien civilizations are naturally not worth worrying about."

"But for high-Rank alien civilizations, one must be extremely cautious."

"Before clashing with them, one must have some understanding of their civilization structure, technological level, and the lethality of their trump card weapons, otherwise it is very easy to suffer a big loss."

After listening, Zhao Ruohan understood Jiang Jin's thoughts. "Master, are you considering whether to preserve the technological route for all things under the Transcendent Revival?"

"Yes."

Jiang Jin noticed that Zhao Ruohan was eager to try. "What, Ruohan, do you have an idea?"

"Master, didn't you say that under the Transcendent Revival, everything is possible?"

"Since the future will be a coexistence of [Multi-systems], why can't the technological side fuse with the Transcendent to give birth to a brand-new path of Cultivation?"

"Oh, Ruohan, that idea of yours is quite interesting."

Jiang Jin became interested and sat up straight from the lounge chair, wanting to hear all of her thoughts.
