As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the forest.
Luo Wanya looked up and saw the abbot of Cibei Temple leading a young monk along the mountain path: "Master, why are you walking in the opposite direction? Why aren't you following the main group!"
The abbot used sign language, and the young monk translated, "Lost."
Luo Wanya: "Do you think I believe you or not? Stop messing around and just leave!"
The abbot then used sign language, which the young monk translated: "Master says you can't handle the enemy, so let him do it."
Luo Wanya was both amused and exasperated: "You're not a superhuman, why are you getting involved in this?"
The abbot waved his hand casually.
The young monk translated, "It'll be here soon!"
"It'll be done soon, okay?" Luo Wanya was completely exasperated: "Is sign language interpretation this sloppy? Who do you think you're taking advantage of because you don't understand sign language? Are you and your apprentice really proper monks?"
The young monk said, “My master and I are of one mind, so just listen to me. On the way here, my master said that we originally thought the parent-teacher conference was just like the Mechanical God Cult, all for the sake of fame and fortune. But after traveling together for a while, we found that you are indeed different from the Mechanical God Cult. The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen, and monks are also responsible.”
"Don't change the idioms randomly!" Luo Wanya felt that after traveling with this group of monks, he had also learned to make sarcastic remarks. There were just too many things to complain about among these monks, and he couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
The young monk said, "Master also particularly likes what you said at the parent-teacher meeting: 'Others strive to become superior people, we strive so that no one will be inferior to us.' This saying is a profound Buddhist essence. You should become a monk; you have Buddha-nature."
Luo Wanya asked with skepticism, "So the reason I haven't gotten married is because I have Buddhist nature?"
The abbot used sign language.
The young monk hesitated for two seconds before saying, "...It's your problem that you're not married, don't try to shift the blame to Buddha."
Luo Wanya: "...You're really down-to-earth."
The abbot smiled and left the young monk behind, passing by Luo Wanya alone, patting him on the shoulder as he went.
In an instant, Luo Wanyi felt all his fatigue vanish.
At one point, he suddenly realized that the route for the parent-teacher meeting was fixed, set by the old man on Ginkgo Mountain. So no matter which way they went, they would eventually pass by the Great Compassion Temple.
So, were these monks from Dabeisi Temple also on that chessboard of heaven and earth?
But then they saw the abbot, dressed in a gray monk's robe, walking step by step into the mountains. As he walked, a magnificent rainbow suddenly appeared in front of him, stretching straight to the sky.
The rainbow body transformation at the time of a high-ranking monk's passing!
Luo Wanyi used to think that rainbow body transformation was just a legend, but he never expected it to be real!
The elderly abbot walked step by step on the rainbow bridge to the sky. With each step, a white lotus flower bloomed on the rainbow bridge, stretching to the end of the sky!
As the abbot walked, he suddenly stopped on the rainbow bridge, sat down cross-legged facing the enemy, plucked a flower with his fingers, and smiled.
This time, no translation was needed; the abbot's voice resounded directly in Luo Wanya's heart: "May Buddha have mercy."
The abbot's head drooped, and he fell silent.
In an instant, a seven-colored radiance filled the world, freezing all twelve thousand war robots in mid-air, making them unable to move an inch!
No one knows what realm this is, or perhaps there is no realm at all that can define this abbot.
The most widely circulated saying in the world of superhumans was, "When disaster strikes, spiritual will is humanity's first line of defense against danger." This statement defined the source of superhuman power.
The old abbot has spent his life in ascetic practice, and his spiritual will has long since reached an unknown level. He was not once an extraordinary person, simply because he felt it was unnecessary. Now he has become an extraordinary person because the world needs him.
In the sky, the Qing fleet fired at the war robots frozen in mid-air, only to find that the missiles were also frozen after entering that radiant light, without exploding, everything was still.
That world has become a barrier, unshakable in the slightest.
The old abbot wasn't trying to destroy anything; monks live peaceful lives. He was simply trying to buy some time for the people of the Eastern Continent.
Qingkun calmly looked at what was in front of him. To be honest, even he hadn't expected that after fighting this far, there would still be a reclusive master from the Eastern Continent helping him: "I wonder how long this monk can hold off the enemy. Let's hurry up and get out of here!"
...
...
The sky brightened, then darkened again.
The remaining 210,000 parents struggled through the wilderness, crossing streams and ridges.
They didn't know how long they had been on the run, only that the journey had been exceptionally difficult.
They supported each other, not knowing when it would end.
Everyone had long since lost their shoes, and their feet were covered in calluses.
There was no food left on the road, so they could only barely fill their stomachs with water, insects, and tree bark.
But among those who survived the test of time, no one was lost; they knew where they were going and why they were going.
As they walked, a soldier draped in turf suddenly stood up from the woods ahead: "Are you from the PTA?"
Xiao Qi, who was at the very front, nodded: "Yes."
One by one, figures in the forest stood up to greet them: "Thank you for your hard work. We have prepared supplies, food, clothing, and shoes for you ahead."
"How far are we from Jianmen Pass?" Xiao Qi asked.
"This is Jianmen Pass."
Xiaoqi looked back at the darkness behind her and felt that everything would eventually pass. Those who were defeated would never be seen again, and those who were not defeated would walk side by side.
Chapter 988, Clues
In the northern wilderness of the Qing Clan, the Storm Sky Fortress, like a black island, floats amidst the sea of clouds.
White clouds under the moonlight drifted beside the 'island' like waves crashing against rocks.
The towering Duke of Storms, draped in a black robe, stood silently at the edge of the top deck of the aerial fortress, gazing down at the scene below.
The garrison soldiers converted a new batch of werewolf gene warriors and expanded the beast army.
This new batch of orc soldiers entered the tribe and quickly found the strongest orc warrior, letting out a provocative roar.
The habits of the beastmen are no different from those of the wolf pack. New wolves who forcibly join the pack must challenge the wolf king, and the winner takes all.
The Wolf King was over three meters tall and covered in scars. He had already accepted countless challenges, and it seemed that every time a new batch of beast soldiers entered, a challenger would appear.
However, only after the wolf king conquers the newly joined beast soldiers can those beast soldiers be controlled by the forbidden queen ant.
At this moment, the strongest of the new beastmen came to the wolf king, and all the beastmen scrambled aside, clearing a fighting area.
The challenger instinctively ran toward the wolf king, but no matter how hard it tried, the wolf king seemed to anticipate and avoid all attacks and claws.
It lunged at the wolf king's neck, but the wolf king simply stepped back and grabbed its arm with one hand, snapping the challenger's arm with just a little force.
The wolf king wasn't satisfied, so he grabbed the challenger's other arm and tore him in two.
roar!
The wolf king roared at the aerial fortress in the sea of clouds, pounding his strong chest muscles with his hands, just like a real werewolf in a movie, no longer resembling a human.
However, on his back, a white worm extended hundreds of tentacles and pierced his spine, firmly locking his mind and keeping him under its control.
Wolf packs are special; their king changes over time. Once a new victor emerges, the queen ant needs to choose a new host because the previous one is no longer the king.
To be on the safe side, the old king even sacrificed a Virtuoso by injecting him with an A-grade gene serum, in order to ensure that this controlled Virtuoso beastman would always be victorious.
This wolf king was not only larger than the other beast soldiers, but also possessed the ability to gain the upper hand in battle, making it impossible for it to lose.
Duke Storm didn't look at it; instead, he looked up into the distance, towards the direction of Jianmen Pass.
In truth, he had no feelings for the old king. Born into that kind of family, feelings were a useless thing.
The old king chose him to inherit everything not because he was the most favored, but because only he could carry on the legacy of the Felhunter family in the new era.
Sometimes he would think that the huge group of the Fate Masters was like a huge intelligent organism, and the Fate Masters were just cells of this intelligent organism. Their role was to keep this organism called the 'family' alive. Whether the cells could survive or not was not important.
It doesn't matter who the cell is.
Duke Storm has two fathers. The first one raped his birth mother, and after giving birth to him, he suffered ostracism in Storm City.
The second is his biological father, who only had him for the sake of the family's future.
He had only ever experienced human warmth from one person. In that dimly lit room where it was just him and Zero, he learned so much and felt so much tenderness.
But all of that is no longer there.
After losing interest, Duke Storm turned and returned to the fortress, where he sat high on his command seat and coldly asked, "Has the satellite been destroyed?"
A marquis responded, “Your Majesty, the missile has entered its designated orbit and will precisely strike the Eastern Continent’s satellite chain. It is expected to complete the strike in 11 minutes and 21 seconds, but… our satellites may also be destroyed.”
In modern total war, satellites are a primary strategic target.
Once the satellite is destroyed, communication will revert to the oldest era of radio, and everyone will be blind.
The Western Continent had been prepared for this long ago; their tactics were specifically designed for this moment.
Duke Storm said coldly, "Continue forward. We must reach the target combat location within 7 days and annihilate all enemy forces. On the main battlefield, a swarm of war robots will break through the enemy's last defenses for us, allowing us to slaughter the enemy and seize the last authority over this Eastern Continent."
Before his departure, the old king used the last rays of his life to activate his final God's-eye view; seven days was the limit for this blitzkrieg, and not a single day could be delayed.
Just as God created the world in seven days, the day of divine revelation will follow seven days later.
Duke Storm left the command center and stopped as he passed a dark room. Two war droids stood in the doorway, preventing anyone but him from approaching.
He remained silent for a moment, then continued walking forward, but ultimately did not enter the room.
Below the aerial fortress, beastmen were advancing frantically, using both hands and feet, causing the earth to tremble.
...
...
Beneath the central royal city.
In the dimly lit safe house, Qingchen, Black Spider, and Yi held their breath and waited. Time passed by, and finally, the slow sound of wading through water could be heard outside.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door of the safe house: "It's me, Zero. Open the door."
The door to the safe house opened, and Zero dragged her mangled body inside. Her left hand was gone, leaving only a bare wrist and exposed wires.
Because of a malfunction in the hydraulic transmission system and a leak in the transmission fluid, its entire left arm is unable to move.
Zero calmly said, "Don't worry, it's just one of my clones and it doesn't have pain sensing capabilities."
Black Spider frowned and asked, "What happened? Were you ambushed while scouting? Could you have attracted the enemy?"
