People said there was nothing between men that a fight couldn't settle. After Li Xin, Hong, and Thunder God fought, they all came to acknowledge one another.
And so the three chatted easily, naturally discussing their knowledge of martial arts.
Thunder God and Hong were both warriors, while this was Li Xin's weak point. But Li Xin possessed extensive cultivation experience and secret arts from a Machine Race Immortal, and the Eternal Divine Brain had been analyzing that knowledge over the past several days, so he was no slouch in theory either.
"Li Xin, you must have received an alien civilization's legacy too, right?"
Hong asked.
"Yes, I have. In fact, I probably know far more than either of you. Here is some basic information about the universe that I obtained."
Li Xin nodded and immediately sent a copy of the basic information about the universe to Thunder God and Hong.
"I never imagined the universe would be so dangerous, or that warriors had so many levels! Those powerful Immortals actually have eternal lifespans and can casually toy with stars like our sun!"
Hong and Thunder God were both stunned by the information Li Xin sent them. What they had obtained before was nowhere near as comprehensive.
The information about primitive planets in particular left them shivering with fear.
If aliens discovered Earth and sold it as a slave planet, Earthlings would be condemned to slavery for generation after generation. To them, that was nothing short of a nightmare!
"Since you've known about this for a while, you must have a plan, right?"
After recovering from his shock, Hong looked at Li Xin and asked earnestly. Li Xin was now the strongest person on Earth, and he had obtained such detailed information about the universe.
Presumably, Li Xin had also acquired the spaceship from Ruin No. 1, which meant their path into the universe lay with him.
Given all the robots Li Xin had previously manufactured for the China Military Region, Hong had also guessed at some of his intentions.
"Yes, I have a plan. If we want to prevent aliens from seizing Earth, our only option is to venture into the universe, become powerful there, and obtain ownership of Earth. That way, Earth won't be treated as a primitive planet."
"But before dealing with outside threats, we need to secure things at home. I'll manufacture a steady stream of robots to protect humanity's base cities, and then the three of us will eliminate all monsters at King-level and above."
"However, there are too many factions on Earth. I want to support China's Unification of All Global Forces."
Li Xin laid out his plan. Unlike Luo Feng in the original story, who had maintained Earth's existing order, he favored China.
After all, he was Chinese. The ideal of unification ran in his blood.
"I'm in favor of supporting China, but to be honest, even with your current strength, Li Xin, the three of us together still couldn't kill those two Emperor-level Monsters. They're practically invincible in the ocean."
As a Chinese man, Hong was naturally willing to support China, but he lacked confidence in their ability to deal with those two Emperor-level Monsters.
"I've been a warrior for less than half a year, and my strength is still growing. Just because I can't kill them now doesn't mean I won't be able to later!"
"I'll send you two secret arts from the legacy I received. Once you've studied them, your strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds. Killing the monster emperors then will naturally be no problem."
As he spoke, Li Xin sent Hong and Thunder God the Basic 312 Forms for warriors, along with a Spear Technique Secret Art and a Blade Technique Secret Art.
Those two secret arts were only at Star Level, however. After all, they were the only blade and spear techniques in the Machine Race legacy he had obtained.
"Wrong. It turns out I've been practicing my Nine-Layered Thunder Blade all wrong! This is the proper way to exert power. It can amplify not only strength, but speed and defense too."
"As expected of a legacy from the universe, it's far more powerful than anything we have on Earth. With this legacy, our strength will surely take a tremendous leap forward!"
"Li Xin, thank you so much. The legacy you've given us is incredibly precious!"
Hong and Thunder God needed only a cursory look at the two legacies to recognize their value.
They had nothing to offer in return for Li Xin's gift of knowledge, but they had already engraved the debt in their hearts.
They would repay him someday, no matter what. Even if they couldn't, whenever Li Xin needed their help, they would never hesitate!
"As I said before, the universe is too dangerous. I can't protect Earth alone. The more powerful people Earth produces, the safer it will be!"
Hong and Thunder God were both talented; they merely lacked opportunities. They were all Earthlings, so giving them a helping hand was no trouble.
"We'll go study this legacy first. Once we're back, we'll arrange for our people to give your plan their full support. Let us know when it's time to act. We'll definitely stand with you."
After receiving the legacy, Hong and Thunder God were eager to return and study it.
"Let's call it a day, then!"
Councilor Fal and the others had thought Li Xin, Hong, and Thunder God would become enemies after their fierce battle. They had never expected the three to look so friendly.
Councilor Fal and the others couldn't hear their conversation. After the three parted ways, they too left with complicated feelings.
As for Atkin, whom Li Xin had killed earlier, no one cared at all. He had provoked Li Xin, now the strongest person on Earth. His death was simply his death, and no one dared stand up for him.
"Babata actually didn't guide me!"
Li Xin deliberately wandered around Mist Island several times, but he noticed nothing unusual and found no guidance toward the Yunmo Star Ship. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
He coveted the legacy aboard the Yunmo Star Ship, but failing to obtain it was only a minor regret. Once he entered the universe, he would have plenty of ways to acquire legacies anyway.
"Hong, the strongest person on Earth, was actually defeated!"
"Li Xin is now the world's strongest!"
As news of Li Xin's battle with Hong and Thunder God spread, it sent enormous shock waves across Earth.
The many covert schemes to target Li Xin's Factory and obtain his advanced robot-manufacturing technology vanished without a trace in an instant. No one dared entertain any ulterior motives in that regard.
"I only just heard Senior Sister Zhao Ruo say that Li Xin reached Beyond War God-level in less than three months. Now the next news I hear is that he defeated the dojo master and became the world's strongest! His talent is unbelievably incredible!"
Luo Feng couldn't help marveling after reading the news about Li Xin.
"Good, wonderful!"
The China Military Region was the happiest of all to learn the news. With Li Xin's support, China's national strength had been advancing by leaps and bounds, and a belt around the Six Great Base Cities had already been cleared of monsters.
