However, that immortal said he was going back to the immortal realm to find more immortals, and he was gone for a hundred years without any news.
So Daisy was very excited when she heard the news that the immortals had descended again.
Excitement aside, what if this so-called immortal is a fake, or even a new trick from the underworld? That would be a devastating blow to humanity. The Cangquan base must not allow anyone from the underworld to infiltrate.
Long San naturally thought that it was somewhat suspicious that the immortal cultivated domineering aura, and it was even more suspicious that the immortal did not know about the underworld. However, he believed that the immortal Yu Shen might not be related to the previous immortal. He thought that Yu Shen was another immortal who was unaware of the situation, an immortal who believed that they were killing people and taking souls and wanted to act on behalf of Heaven and had a sense of justice.
Daisy has known Long San for nearly a century and still trusts his character. It is precisely for this reason that she decided to come and confirm it in person. If they miss this excellent opportunity due to a misunderstanding, they will all become sinners in history.
The Underworld has been inactive for a long time, they must be plotting something. No one knows how long humanity can sustain itself with its elemental energy.
Moreover, besides the underworld, there are various natural disasters and epidemics that are constantly taking the lives of the people. As long as the great scourge of the underworld is not eliminated, the human world will not have peace.
"Long San, open the skylight." Daisy decided to finish the battle quickly, as the new combat suit was not yet fully developed and its endurance was a major problem.
Long San gasped. Could it be that Si Yu was planning to use that move? What if she accidentally killed Yu Shen... No, how could a god be killed!
"Open the skylight, everyone leave here immediately!" Long San ordered.
Red lights flashed on the ceiling above the base, and then slowly parted to both sides from the middle. Normally, large spaceships would enter the base through this door.
Xiang Yu watched all this with great interest, thinking to himself, "Modern technology is indeed quite interesting."
Hao Jiu smiled and said, "The most interesting part is probably yet to come. I suppose this long-legged girl is showing herself in the sky for a reason."
"Then let's see what she's capable of." Xiang Yu could have chosen to instantly kill his opponent, but he felt he should give her some face, otherwise it would be a bit awkward to go to the Cangquan base together later.
Moreover, Xiang Yu was indeed very interested in the technology of this world. He brought Xiaoyaozi here this time so that Xiaoyaozi could learn modern technology and go back to benefit the Chu-Han world.
However, it seems that it would be better to invite some professionals from this plane to the Chu-Han plane. Let Xiaoyaozi learn as much as he can. Xiang Yu has no intention of going to the Chu-Han plane to develop any soul technology.
At this moment, the sky finally opened completely, revealing a circular sky with a diameter of over 100 meters. Long San and the others left from there and ran to the observation room to watch the battle using the surveillance video.
"Let's begin. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. I'll give you three moves." Xiang Yu put his hands behind his back.
"Then I won't be polite!" Daisy smiled coldly, then disappeared from the spot, her Yuan Energy Dagger piercing straight for Xiang Yu's throat, while simultaneously activating her domineering aura to extend the dagger's edge.
This is an extremely deceptive attack. The dagger is actually very short, but its actual attack range is much longer, and it is very sudden and stealthy.
Xiang Yu remained unmoved, his domineering energy forming a barrier that blocked all directions. A slight look of approval appeared on his face. This bureau chief was indeed much stronger than Long San, but still not enough.
Clang!
Daisy's eyes widened suddenly. Neither her domineering energy nor her elemental dagger could get close to the opponent, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the way.
"Two moves left." Xiang Yu smiled slightly.
Daisy gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be so smug. If you can block this next move, I'll admit defeat and won't have to wait for the third one."
"Alright." Xiang Yu remained unmoved.
"Fall!" Daisy suddenly switched to a defensive stance and retreated rapidly.
Meanwhile, in the vast expanse of space, a giant satellite extended a structure gleaming with lightning-like spikes, aiming it at the crater on the ground, and then...
A thick beam of light shot out from the satellite in an instant, landing on Xiang Yu's location with lightning speed!
"Divine punishment!" As a high-ranking official in the National Security Bureau, Daisy Yu has the right to use the satellite energy cannon to attack powerful enemies, but the energy consumed by this shot is extremely large, and the cost is indeed considerable.
Although Xiang Yu is still unsure whether he is friend or foe, she has no choice but to use the divine punishment to verify the authenticity of this deity.
A series of loud rumbling sounds were heard, followed by a burst of light and the earth shaking violently!
Long San looked pained. "It seems this base is completely ruined. I hope this Feather God is worthy of this Heavenly Punishment Energy Cannon."
Daisy gasped. She could tell that Xiang Yu hadn't dodged at all. He had said he'd give her three moves, yet he hadn't moved an inch. His confidence was like that of a god who looked down on mortals.
However, this satellite energy cannon was prepared for experts from the underworld. Are the people of the underworld inferior to the gods?
Suddenly, Daisy felt a pang of regret. What if this deity was a real deity, but not as powerful as she had imagined, and had died under divine punishment due to overconfidence? Then she would be filled with regret.
Xiang Yu was unaware of Daisy's psychological changes. His current defense was certainly strong enough to withstand an attack of this intensity, but the elemental energy within it was far superior to Long San's elemental energy cannon, they were not even in the same league.
"Wow..." Hao Jiu couldn't help but open his mouth wide. "This move is amazing. It can destroy the physical body and the soul at the same time. Most Nascent Soul cultivators would probably perish if they were hit by this move. Impressive. Sigh, Feather God, don't waste it. After I transform it, it will be extremely pure soul energy, which can enhance your soul."
Xiang Yu closed his eyes and began to concentrate on absorbing this soul power to strengthen his divine soul. This method was easier to accept than letting the divided soul devour his divine soul, which was trying to seize it.
Of course, this is based on believing Long San's explanation of the source of the elemental energy. If this soul energy was obtained by slaughtering civilians, Xiang Yu would probably still refuse to absorb it.
Looking back now, this country has a peaceful atmosphere everywhere. Both the National Security Bureau and the Dragon Group respect life very much. They really don't seem like the kind of people who would do something like killing someone and taking their soul.
However, Xiang Yu was not surprised at all that the country A, which Xiang Sheng had previously visited, actually had a deathmatch competition, and the winner would be besieged by the organizers, making it difficult to even get the prize money. Xiang Yu was not surprised at all that such a country would commit murder and soul-stealing.
The continuous output of the satellite energy cannon finally ended. The satellite rays burned a bottomless hole in the solid ground of the base, but Xiang Yu remained suspended in the air without moving an inch, and there wasn't even a speck of dust on his body.
"Any more? Give me a few more," Xiang Yu said calmly.
Daisy's lips twitched violently. "A few more rounds? With this effect, ten more rounds wouldn't make a difference." "I give up."
"Let's go. Take me to the Cangquan base now. You should be able to see that even without you, there's no place in this world I can't go. If I want to rule this world, you can't stop me," Xiang Yu said truthfully.
Daisy thought to herself, "If you're so capable, go to another planet!" But in the end, she decided not to provoke this god who could withstand the energy cannon of a satellite. He did indeed have a bit of a domineering air about him.
"Yu Shen, well done! Let's set off now. Long San, you killed Guan Yunfei, and I destroyed your base. We're even. Prepare the car, let's head to Cangquan!"
Chapter 541 Opportunity
Cangquan Base is where Country C's dream of becoming an aviation power was realized. A hundred years ago, the world's first giant space warship took off from here, defying Earth's gravity and flying into space, scaring away Country A's space warship, which was built on the moon using a piecemeal method.
It was extremely difficult for giant warships to take off on the blue planet, even with humanity's most powerful nuclear power.
Someone once designed a nuclear explosion propulsion scheme, in which one nuclear bomb after another would explode in a relay to send an incredibly sturdy spacecraft into space.
But to be honest, this plan is too unreliable, and probably no one would be willing to try it unless it's a matter of life and death.
It wasn't until the first sage, the scientist who invented the elemental energy, General Wu, a hero of Country C, designed and developed the elemental energy engine that Country C soared to new heights, surpassing Country A to become the new world hegemon.
Then, under the leadership of General Wu, Country C defeated the allied forces of Country ABD, preserved the secret of the elemental energy, and brought peace to the world.
Wars in the old era were about vying for air supremacy, while the struggle for space power in the new era is even more intense. Country C's energy space warships can be said to easily crush the space forces of other countries.
If Country C wanted, it could turn all other countries' satellites into scrap metal in a very short time, and could also attack any target on the ground at any time with an energy cannon from space, or carry out a nuclear strike. Such deterrent power would be enormous.
Therefore, the space race a century ago was truly a gamble for the entire nation. Country C, relying on its energy, came from behind and shattered Country A's conspiracy to rule the world.
The world has entered a new era. Without the hegemony of Country A, the world is getting better and better.
Country C made a fortune by selling energy boxes, which they used to buy countless livestock. Many countries became pastures for Country C. They then used the souls of the livestock to create energy boxes, which they then sold to other countries.
Furthermore, all countries require energy tickets to purchase energy. Except for the first purchase, each subsequent purchase must be made using an intact energy box. Applying for a new energy allocation quota is extremely difficult.
Therefore, it is unlikely that other countries can crack the secret of the energy through the energy box, and it is even more difficult to send agents to infiltrate the energy processing plant, because the real core processing plant has not changed a single employee in a hundred years.
The terrifying aspect of soul technology is that you feel completely drained and immediately switch to another body to continue working tirelessly.
Perhaps this is what the underworld finds most intolerable: that the human world can defy the objective laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death, deeply hurting the pride of the underworld's powerful figures.
Fortunately, the art of 'body swapping' for immortality hasn't become widespread in the human world yet, otherwise the underworld would be in an awkward position, as the souls of those who died naturally would be gone.
To be fair, despite being the strongest country in the world right now, C country faces a double threat from established powers like A country and from the underworld. It's actually quite difficult, and a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Daisy's flying car is much faster than Guan Yunfei's, and it won't take her long to cross the entire country of C.
Soon, the iconic buildings of Cangquan Aerospace City came into view.
Shaped like the crown of an ancient emperor, but the crown's elongation is not flat; instead, the arc gradually increases, eventually soaring straight into the sky, making it a truly magnificent sight.
"This building is quite impressive, leading all the way to heaven." Xiang Yu sighed slightly. This could be considered a miracle of humankind, though it looked a bit old, suggesting it had been built quite some time ago.
The skyscrapers in the city also look huge, but they don't give people the same strong feeling, and you can't associate them with words like spectacular or miraculous.
Seeing Xiang Yu looking at the Road to Heaven with some emotion, Daisy Yu explained, "It's called the Road to Heaven. Country C's first space warship flew into space via this road. A hundred years have passed, and the space warship has long been converted to vertical take-off and landing. The Road to Heaven has also lost its original function, but it has been preserved as a symbol of Cangquan Space City and even Country C."
"The sage you mentioned, is he in space?" Xiang Yu's strength was already enough to travel through space, but he had never had the chance to go.
Daisy hesitated for a moment, "That's right. Because of the Underworld Gate, no place on Blue Planet is absolutely safe, except for outer space, which is beyond the reach of the Underworld Gate."
"We control all the space battleships. Even if the Underworld has small spaceships, they'll be treated as suspicious targets and eliminated in space. Besides, the location of the Sage's spaceship is probably only known to a few people close to the Sage."
"I want to meet him." Xiang Yu became increasingly curious about this sage.
"Sorry, I can't say for sure about that. My access is limited to the Cangquan Base, and only to the reincarnation area. However, I can introduce you to the person in charge of the base; you can ask him."
Daisy looked out the window when she arrived. The flying car had already begun its descent, landing in a deep well tunnel. It continued to descend for several hundred meters before stopping on a platform.
They were surrounded by elite troops armed with elemental firearms, each possessing at least the domineering strength of a royal realm warrior.
The car door opened, and two National Security Bureau agents carried Guan Yunfei's body out and placed it in a small car.
"Honghong, arrange for Guan Yunfei to be reincarnated as soon as possible," Daisy said to the car.
"Okay, Sister Siyu." The car replied and drove away.
Xiang Yu glanced at Daisy Yu, who understood. "If God Yu wants to visit the Reincarnation Temple, that's fine, but you'll need to prepare a little beforehand. I'll take advantage of this time to introduce you to Elder Fang, the person in charge of the base."
"Okay." Xiang Yu knew that this Old Fang was the one who had failed to bind with the Shadow System for half a day, and that after being harassed by the Shadow System, he had decisively isolated himself.
Soon after, Xiang Yu and Daisy passed through numerous checks and arrived at a small house, where they saw Old Fang.
Although he is called Old Fang, he doesn't look old at all, only about forty years old, but he is actually over 160 years old.
"Elder Fang, this is Yu Shen, an unparalleled expert who couldn't be harmed even in the slightest by the satellite energy cannon." Daisy Yu truly admired Xiang Yu's strength. The leaders of the Underworld Gate throughout the ages were also very strong, but they were all somewhat embarrassed by the power of the satellite energy cannon.
"God of Feathers, please have a seat." Old Master Fang had a kind and radiant face.
Xiang Yu did not sit down. "Does Your Excellency not dare to come and see me?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, Feather God, I've run into some trouble lately, so I've isolated myself and can't meet you in my true form. I hope you'll understand," Elder Fang said with a smile.
Daisy's breathing became slightly disordered. In fact, even if Old Fang hadn't isolated himself, he still used this lifelike figure to receive outsiders, but she hadn't told Xiang Yu about it.
The main reason is that this lifelike mannequin is so realistic that even Daisy mistook it for a real person when she first saw it. Its heartbeat, breathing, body temperature, and facial expressions are exactly the same as those of a real person.
Because most of the materials were made from Fang Lao's clones, simply put, apart from lacking a soul, they are almost identical to real people. They can use elemental energy to assist the operation of the entire body, and can also obtain some energy by eating food to maintain cell activity.
Although there is a chip in his brain that can receive Fang Lao's instructions, this thing is very small and hidden, and it may not be found even during craniotomy.
As it turned out, Yu Shen saw through the truth at a glance, making it an easy question.
"Please calm down, Feather God. Elder Fang didn't mean to slight you." Daisy was both nervous and excited. She was nervous because she was afraid that Feather God would be angry, and excited because Feather God had such abilities. Perhaps he really was a god.
"It's alright." Xiang Yu looked at Fang Lao's lifelike replica again. "So, you actually still want to see me in your real form?"
"Uh, this..." Old Fang hesitated slightly. In fact, he didn't want to meet him in his true form at all, but he still had to say the polite words, "Of course."
