’The Heart of Chaos can automatically produce Chaos Energy now? But only 700 points a day? That’s way too little! This skill is better than nothing, I guess!’
Wang Yi shook his head. ’Upgrading the Heart of Chaos to A-rank "only" costs ten million Chaos Energy, which isn’t a huge amount,’ he thought. ’Maybe I can upgrade it again soon. I just hope I get a good Core Skill next time.’
A moment later, Wang Yi arrived at the Tower of Suffering.
A group of people had already gathered here, waiting to travel to the World of Suffering.
It wasn’t a large group—only 27 people in total.
They were Yang Wanli, Hai Pei, Hu Fenqiu, Zhang Mazha, Yang Dazhuang, and the other 22 members of the militia.
They had already reported to the Military Intelligence Camp, received their status as Professional Soldiers, and obtained approval from Eggshell Castle to travel to the World of Suffering.
But their purpose for this trip to the World of Suffering was not to gather resources.
Yang Wanli wanted to go there to practice the [Netherworld Spell]. Hai Pei was a Basic Sword Immortal and planned to go there for Cultivation.
The two of them had each collected 120 Fasting Pills from Eggshell Castle. Their goal for this trip was to find a safe spot in the World of Suffering, enter seclusion to train for ten years, and then return.
Ten years in the World of Suffering was equivalent to just ten days in the original world!
Both men dreamed of making a kingly return!
As for Zhang Lengzi and the others, they were going for military training—to familiarize themselves with firearms and other modern weapons, and to learn how to drive. They didn’t need to stay for ten years; they would probably be back in three to five months.
This way, they could save up their allotted time. In the future, after changing their profession or acquiring new skills, they could return to the World of Suffering for more Cultivation.
The Civilian Militia’s current situation in Eggshell was somewhat unique. The two pillars, Yang Qingniu and Zhang Lengzi, were involved in military and political affairs and were close to people like Wang Bushi, Nangong Jin, Xiang Yun, and Yu Hualong.
The rest, like Hu Fenqiu, were basically under the direct management of Eggshell Castle.
In Wang Yi’s view, the militia needed to be equipped with modern weapons. With a little training to familiarize themselves with firearms, they could quickly become a formidable fighting force.
Once they had combat capabilities, they still wouldn’t be a regular army. Wang Yi saw them as "security guards." In the future, he would keep a portion of them to handle security for Eggshell Castle. The rest, he planned to send to Yamero Star to manage public order and, while they were at it, drive transport vehicles and so on.
The real fighting force would still have to be the Soldiers from the military-political branch.
Once Nangong Jin finished spending the 180,000 in recruitment funds and the main forces were integrated, they too would travel to the World of Suffering in batches. They would be going there to wage war—to plunder resources, explore ruins, search for Treasures, and even hunt Earth Deity Beasts.
"Since you’ve all made your decision, I wish you the best of luck!"
Wang Yi activated the Tower of Suffering’s transport function and quickly sent Yang Wanli and the others on their way.
Just then, Wadu flew over to report, "My Lord, an unidentified flying vehicle has appeared outside. The young master sent me to ask for your permission to shoot it down!"
"An unidentified flying vehicle?"
’So, other Players have flying vehicles besides me.’
He quickly walked out of the Tower of Suffering and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, he spotted an unidentified flying vehicle hovering high above. It was very far away, its silhouette about the size of a Gold Coin, and it was flashing its lights rhythmically.
"Father! That black dot has been there for a while."
Wang Bushi came up to Wang Yi, picked his nose, and said, "I bet there aren’t any good guys in there. Let your son risk his life and shoot it down!"
Wang Yi knew Wang Bushi wasn’t just bragging. His headbutt could strike a target 5,000 meters away; calling him a human anti-aircraft cannon wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Shooting down an unidentified flying object would be no problem for him.
Wang Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Wadu, fire a Radium Light Radio beam as a warning. If it doesn’t leave, shoot it down!"
"Yes!"
Wadu obeyed the command. It flew into the sky, touched its two small fists together, and fired a beam of Radium Light Radio.
The Radium Light Radio beam was only as thick as a thumb and had a range of 3,000 meters!
But Wadu intentionally missed, firing it as a warning.
At that very moment, inside the "unidentified flying vehicle," the Southern King, Tong Yuanhai, was observing the ground below.
There were dozens of people inside the ship, all of them Players. Some were Chaos Lords, others were Adventurer Players.
They were now all subordinates of the Southern King.
"As expected of the Great Saint’s territory, it’s truly extraordinary. It really does look a bit like Huaguo Mountain! Huh, they even have anti-air defenses. A Radium Light Radio beam... is that a warning?"
The one speaking was a bald Player named "Shen Badada." He was a Chaos Lord with the A-rank Lord Talent [High-Level Insight].
He possessed an extremely powerful detection ability. Whether it was a person, an object, or a territory, he could obtain relevant information with just a single glance.
Tong Yuanhai said, "Stop admiring the scenery. Check the territory’s layout, its military strength, and its defenses!"
"Yes!"
Shen Badada responded and began to carefully survey the area below. His brow gradually furrowed, his expression turning serious. "Within this ten-li radius, there are a whopping 21 Shanhai Passes! And the Shanhai Passes have Defense Towers! This feels completely absurd! And... the information I’m getting says that an ecosystem has already formed here, and this territory’s ecosystem is currently in Evolution!"
"What’s an ecosystem?"
The Player piloting the ship asked. Her name was Xu Bingce, and she was also a Chaos Lord.
Shen Badada waved his hand. "I don’t know either! That’s just what the scan information says!"
Just then, another Radium Light Radio beam grazed past the ship. Xu Bingce couldn’t be bothered with ecosystems anymore and quickly asked, "Brother Tong, they’ve given us two warnings. Should we respond?"
Tong Yuanhai said, "Respond! Show goodwill! Descend the ship. You will come with me to request an audience with Sun Wukong!"
"Yes!"
Xu Bingce complied. She piloted the ship downwards while broadcasting a message through the loudspeaker: "We come from the Southern Domain with no ill intent! We are here to request an audience with the Chaos Lord, Sun Wukong!"
Wang Yi had been about to let Wang Bushi launch his charging headbutt, but upon hearing the announcement, his mind raced. He stopped Wang Bushi and said to Wadu, "Guide their ship to land in the Exile Court. If they don’t follow your instructions, destroy them!"
"Yes!"
Wadu immediately flew up toward the sky.
Wang Yi watched quietly, surprised to see that the ship was remarkably compliant. It actually followed Wadu’s guidance and entered the Exile Court.
Around the Exile Court, Hai Zhongxian, Kung Fu’s Number One Killing King, the Fire Fire Evil God, and several Brocade Guards spontaneously appeared and surrounded the ship.
’Once they’re in the Exile Court, it’ll be simple to subdue them. They’ll be fish on a chopping block... Who are these people? Why are they so obedient? What are they here for?’
Curious, Wang Yi headed to the Exile Court. By the time he arrived, Tong Yuanhai, Xu Bingce, and Shen Badada had already disembarked from the black ship.
[Tong Yuanhai: Chaos Lord, Southern King of the Golden Sparrow Country in the Eastern Continent, possesses the B-rank Lord Talent, Navigator...]
[Shen Badada: Chaos Lord, Vanguard War General of the Southern King’s Prince Mansion, possesses the A-rank Talent, High-Level Insight...]
[Xu Bingce: Chaos Lord, a solitary Wanderer, possesses the A-rank Talent, Positive Correction...]
Wang Yi saw the identity information of these three and was slightly surprised. He stepped forward and said, "I never expected the Southern King himself to grace us with his presence. Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner!"
Tong Yuanhai quickly cupped his hands in a salute. "It is I who should apologize for this presumptuous visit. I only hope the Great Saint will not be offended!"
Shen Badada’s eyes went wide, his face a mask of disbelief. "It’s real, it’s really him! It’s actually Sun Wukong, no way! Could the information from my High-Level Insight be wrong...?"
Wang Yi glanced at Shen Badada and smiled calmly. "We’re all Players here, there’s no need for pleasantries. Your Highness, if you have something on your mind, please speak freely."
Tong Yuanhai said, "To be frank, I have come here presumptuously to sue for peace with you, Great Saint. I hope you will not send your troops to the Southern Domain! We face powerful external threats. We Players really shouldn’t be fighting amongst ourselves. We have a common enemy Beyond the Heavens."
"Your Highness may be mistaken. I have no interest in the Southern Domain and have no plans to send troops there whatsoever!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course! Your Highness just mentioned an enemy from Beyond the Heavens. I wonder what you mean by that?"
"That’s precisely what I came to discuss with you, Great Saint! What do you think of this Typhon World?"
"It’s quite nice!"
"And if I were to tell you, Great Saint, that this Typhon World is nothing more than a Newbie Village, would you believe me?"
Wang Yi nodded. "I believe you."
"Then what if I told you there are ancient Players, eyeing us like tigers from the Starry Sky, just waiting for the newbie protection to end so they can come and wreak havoc, destroy this world, and turn it into another World of Suffering? Would you believe that, Great Saint?"
Hearing this, Wang Yi narrowed his eyes. "Interesting. Continue."
"I have no other intention than to unite all Players who can be united, form an alliance, reduce internal conflict, and pool our strength to develop quickly so we can resist the enemy from the Starry Sky in the future! My alliance already has 66 members. If you are willing to join, Great Saint, I am willing to give up my leadership position and let you be the Alliance Leader. Everyone, why haven’t you come out to meet the Great Saint?"
"I am Jiang Miao. I greet you, Great Saint!"
"I am Mai Qiao, a Chaos Lord. I greet you, Great Saint!"
"I am Xu Wenjun. I greet you, Great Saint, and I beg for your guidance!"
"I am Sun Wumian. I greet you, Great Saint!"
"I am Zhuge Zhengzhen. I have come to see the Great Saint!"
"I am Chu Nanxiao. I greet you, Great Saint..."
One by one, Players emerged from the black ship. There were men and women; Chaos Lords were few, with the majority being Adventurers. In the blink of an eye, a large crowd had formed, all of whom cupped their hands in salute to Wang Yi upon appearing.
Tong Yuanhai spoke again, "Will you establish an alliance and lead us in our development, Great Saint?"
’Is this guy asking me to run a charity for him?’ Wang Yi shook his head and said, "I appreciate the sentiment, Your Highness, but let’s forget about the alliance. I’m a very busy man and have no time for group activities... However, an occasional collaboration might be possible."
