Chapter 535: Chapter 38: The Arrogant Secret Realm Strongman
Wang Sheng returned to the interior of the planet, where the shockwaves from within had just begun.
Having had prior experience with this, he now responded with much more composure.
“How long until the ‘Remnants’ appear?”
[It will take some time, first the space needs to fragment, then we will have to wait for the “Remnants” to react.]
Planet Will told him directly, offering no obstruction.
“That’s good, where do spatial fragments usually appear?”
[They appear where the last spatial fragmentation took place. Those areas are inherently the weakest points, and also where Attached Spaces are most likely to emerge.]
Wang Sheng nodded, said nothing more, and soon found Huangtian, who was commanding the national academy.
His appearance startled Huangtian.
The Great Grandmaster had not appeared last time.
“Great Grandmaster!”
“No need for formalities, the situation is quite urgent. Tell me, how many warriors beyond the level of Great Grandmasters can you mobilize in a short period?”
Huangtian’s heart sank. Knowing that something major had occurred, he did not hesitate and gave a number: “Datong has 121 warriors surpassing the Great Grandmaster, of which 68 are official Datong warriors, and 53 from the outside world; all can be mobilized.” The emergence of the Spirit World made sure that the warriors kept coming.
“Do you remember where the last spatial fragmentation caused the most severe disasters?”
“I do,” Huangtian nodded. He remembered every place affected by the last disaster, “Zhongzhou… Huazhou… a total of thirteen regions suffered spatial fragmentation and severe invasions, with the highest casualty counts.”
“Immediately send warriors to those regions for defense, the more the better. However, ensure to keep some warriors back in case new areas are affected and need to be immediately attended to.”
“Great Grandmaster, what exactly has happened? Could it be due to enemies from another world?”
“It’s the enemy, but not from another world; however, we must be cautious, as a moment of carelessness could result in anyone’s death. Handle the situation carefully and carry the Jade Talisman I provided; don’t resist head-on.”
After hearing this, Huangtian nodded, without further questions; the matter was extremely urgent and needed immediate attention.
After Huangtian had left, Wang Sheng did not speak. The World Will indeed emerged.
[Why?]
“No particular reason, just one point: I have cultivated to such a level, and then I simply can’t stand to watch people, who could have lived, die. It’s too frustrating!”
Wang Sheng hadn’t really thought it through.
Although cautious and unwilling to provoke enemies he could not match,
He couldn’t bear the thought that the harm of the “Remnants” could be avoided, yet stand idly by.
What he was doing now was simply repeating history.
[I cannot understand, but if this is what you want to do, then go ahead. If fewer lives are lost, that is certainly good.]
“You’re simply looking for people to experience trials, as long as it’s within the controlled range. At least the ordinary people don’t need to die in such great numbers.”
Planet Will said nothing further, but did not leave either.
Wang Sheng waited as Huangtian made the necessary arrangements.
Huangtian, meanwhile, was bustling with activity.
“Issue orders, excluding those in defense, gather all warriors beyond Great Grandmaster here at Datong Capital.”
“Leader, many warriors are in deep cultivation…” The tremors in the starry sky were seen as an opportunity for the top warriors.
“Find a way to awaken them all, this is an order, not a request.”
“Yes, Leader.” Hearing Huangtian’s stern commands, his subordinate did not dare to delay and immediately used the Teleportation Array to notify everyone.
In the Three Counties, a place rich with warriors.
“The decree of Datong, all leaders must immediately proceed to Datong Capital without delay.”
The command was broadcast by special means, heard by all in the Three Counties.
Even those in deep cultivation could not ignore the tremors of the starry sky as they risked distraction and madness in their cultivation.
At the Heavenly Martial Dao precinct, Mo Yang opened his eyes.
“Proceed to the capital…” He was urgently in need of deep cultivation and would surely gain much more, but, “Alas, I hope it’s nothing too difficult!”
At the True Martial Path precinct.
Since suffering a setback, Yan Tian had been quick to act. Upon hearing the command, he had no hesitation to cease his cultivation and head directly to the Teleportation Array.
The same went for leaders in other precincts, who all ceased their cultivation intending to proceed to the capital.
Of course, most warriors intended to heed the call, but some were reluctant.
“Such a good opportunity and Datong officials are summoning people to the capital? I’m not foolish, whoever goes is a fool!”
“Humph, to think a single command can summon all of us, impossible.”
These few dissenters were mostly newly ascended warriors with great talent.
Ambitious, they felt suppressed by Datong.
Therefore, they had no intention of ceasing their cultivation.
“Humph, with this opportunity, my strength should greatly improve. Soon, I’ll be fearless against Datong and free to roam the world.”
Nearly an hour later, those who obeyed the command arrived in the capital from various places.
“Leader, out of 121 warriors, 102 have arrived. Besides those stationed in various regions, five did not come.”
Upon hearing this figure, Huangtian did not say much, going directly to meet the other 102 warriors.
“Leader!”
Upon seeing Huangtian, everyone greeted him politely.
The familiar Zhu Xiao spoke up, “Leader, has there been an urgent matter that prompted us to come here?”
She was actually the most nervous inside.
These past few days, she had been restless, sensing that something major was going to happen but with no clue what.
Now that Huangtian had suddenly summoned them, her sense of foreboding grew even stronger.
