World Anomaly

The difference between a genius and an ordinary person is that when faced with difficulties, the ordinary person believes the problem is unsolvable and thus stops in their tracks.

A genius, however, will overcome these difficulties, which is why they stay many steps ahead of everyone else.

Qin Yunhai's mind was racing at a frantic pace.

"There is a very realistic problem, Weiwei. Believe me, no major power is willing to see a lone wolf rise. Once your vision takes shape, every financial conglomerate will likely view you as an enemy to be suppressed with full force, perhaps even nations."

When it comes down to it, a nation is simply the strongest conglomerate of all.

And a single person, no matter what, cannot stand against a nation.

Wu Wei smiled, then calmly uttered four words: "The world has changed."

Qin Yunhai's eyes ignited in an instant.

Even if his understanding of this world wasn't as profound as Wu Wei's, it was certainly not insignificant.

"Those things can't hold back anymore?"

"They were never able to hold back; it's just that the Federation can no longer suppress them."

"Over the past two years, there have been hundreds of supernatural incidents in the Federation, averaging one every week and affecting millions of people. In some novels, the state can always suppress these things to keep the public in the dark, but in reality, we all know it: you can't suppress them."

Qin Yunhai nodded.

The state's capabilities are certainly powerful, especially since the Federation is an alliance of six nations; its strength is beyond doubt.

But when millions are affected and tens of thousands lose their lives, you cannot explain it to their families without a world war as a backdrop.

Even if you have powerhouses in your camp capable of hypnosis or memory alteration, it is impossible to pull off.

Because the social connections of a million people involve tens of millions more.

No ability user is powerful enough to reach that level.

Not to mention, the loss of a million people—these people had jobs, some of which were critical.

It is impossible to hide, and the losses cannot be compensated.

These things can be deduced through simple logical reasoning.

"Because of the pressure brought by the Empire, the six nations formed the Federation. Instead of thinking about resisting foreign enemies, they foolishly thought they could first eliminate the Empire and Night Emperor Academy. Then came the greatest war in the Dark World. The Five Emperors appeared, shaking the world. The Federation was utterly defeated; half of their upper-tier powerhouses were killed outright, and only one Heaven-tier powerhouse remained. Naturally, they could no longer hold back those monsters."

A mocking smile played on Wu Wei's face.

Qin Yunhai looked at Wu Wei with a hint of worry.

He knew about this event.

Two years ago, the six nations suddenly announced to the world that they had formed an alliance, creating a bipolar world between the Empire and the Federation.

Afterward, starting from the Dark World, the six nations attacked the Great Qin, leaving the public in a state of panic.

At the critical moment, the Five Emperors stood up.

On the East Sea Coast, under a blood-red setting sun, the blood of Federation powerhouses stained the entire ocean for a day and a night.

The Five Emperors were at the height of their power.

But to those in the know, that civil war was actually a mutual destruction.

The core of the Five Emperors, the soul of the group recognized by all—God Lin—was also assassinated in that battle by the concentrated fire of almost every Heaven-tier powerhouse in the Federation.

As a result, afterward, every upper-tier powerhouse of the Empire lost their sanity, casting aside the so-called big picture.

Of all the Federation's Heaven-tier powerhouses, only the one who didn't participate in the assassination of God Lin survived; all others were killed.

Half of the Federation's upper-tier powerhouses were slaughtered.

The Federation's Dark World was left nearly crippled.

Even the leader of the Federation was killed in his own home when Madman Gu broke in and decapitated him with a single blade.

On the surface, the leader died suddenly due to a heart attack.

In reality, it was simply because he had signed that assassination order.

Afterward, the Federation didn't dare to make a peep, and these past two years have been unusually quiet.

However, within the Federation's borders, things are far from stable.

The powerhouses who were capable of suppressing those monsters had all died under the wrath of the Empire's powerhouses.

"Within the next week, the Federation will announce the truth to the public to divert their anger, while simultaneously shifting the blame onto the Great Qin."

Qin Yunhai frowned.

"What good will that do? As long as Night Emperor Academy exists and the Great Qin army stands, they can keep our borders safe. As for the opinions of the six nations' citizens? They aren't stupid; wouldn't they just want to immigrate to the Great Qin?"

"Yunhai, you always underestimate the shamelessness of Federation politicians and the wisdom of those demons. They would rather give to foreign powers than to their own subjects. The Federation's unwillingness to bow to the Empire doesn't mean they are unwilling to submit to those demons."

Qin Yunhai's body stiffened abruptly.

"Damn, it can't be that bad, right?"

"Why wouldn't it be? As long as they can gain enough benefits, what's wrong with making a deal with demons? And since those monsters have never been able to do anything about the Empire, why not use the Federation as a puppet? Demons aren't fools; they will certainly offer temptations—chips sufficient to move those politicians and the citizens of the six nations. The Great Qin will face an unprecedentedly powerful enemy."

After a pause, the expression on Wu Wei's face became complex: "Although it's unfortunate, I must say that the future world will become extremely dangerous. For ordinary people, it will be very difficult. But for those who are truly strong, it will be a more magnificent world. And knowledge and violence will be elevated to an unprecedented degree."

Qin Yunhai understood in a second.

The monsters would certainly help the Federation's powerhouses increase their strength, inciting them to fight against the powerhouses of Great Qin.

Awakened ones would become increasingly common, superheroes would inevitably appear before the eyes of the world, and urban society would very likely degenerate into a playground for monsters.

In such a situation, those with the ability to protect mortals would be gods.

They would be worshipped and revered.

Those capable of achieving this, aside from the military and the police, were the awakened ones—and the scientists.

"Without God Lin, there would be no Five Emperors. Night Emperor Academy has already proven that scientific research can facilitate the leveling up of awakened ones, and can even transform ordinary people into awakened ones." Qin Yunhai took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement.

"In the future, we are very likely to control the lifeblood of human evolution."

Genetic modification, genetic recombination, genetic fission... the mystery of immortality very likely lay within them.

And the mystery of abilities was almost certainly contained within them as well.

Qin Yunhai began to realize that Wu Wei's plan possessed immense feasibility.

The greatest obstacle—it was gone.

"Cutting-edge knowledge is, in itself, the most supreme power. And those who master such cutting-edge knowledge are, in themselves, the most supreme powerhouses. Yunhai, if we break through the bottleneck and raise the human lifespan by a tier, or even achieve longevity or immortality, then the value of a single powerhouse rivaling or even surpassing a company with a century of heritage is actually a very normal thing."

"I don't know if I can do it, but I really want to try." Qin Yunhai's heart surged with emotion.

Wu Wei reached out his hand and chuckled, "We will do it together."

"Together."

Two hands gripped each other tightly.

It was as if they were holding the entire world.
