Central Land, Si Province.
The Yin Lineage's procurement and resupply in Falling Rosy Clouds City went very smoothly, and by Dusk, everyone had returned to the spaceship.
Yin Guang led the nine spaceships back into the sky and continued their southward journey.
Since Chen Mu demonstrated the power of intelligent weapons, everyone in the Yin Lineage has looked at him with new respect, including the eldest daughter of the Yin Lineage Yin Chunbing.
After taking off her bulky battle armor, Yin Chunbing is also a tall and beautiful woman. After learning that Chen Mu designed and manufactured the spaceship's weapons, her attitude towards him changed completely. Recently, she has been frequently coming to the control room to watch Chen Mu modify the spaceship.
Inside the control room, Chen Mu operated the compass artifact, optimizing the code of the Intelligent Weapon System while adjusting the spaceship's design using a simulator.
After spending more than half a month, he has basically figured out the manufacturing principle of the spaceship. He has now designed three different types of spaceships with different focuses. After returning to Chen Village, he plans to build a spaceship production line at the Rune Research Institute.
Having previously fought in the Wilderness, his vision was limited, and he did not realize the importance of air combat. It was not until the battle of Falling Rosy Clouds City that he realized more and more that in high-end battlefields, air superiority is far more important than land superiority.
On the battlefield, no matter how strong you are on land, if the enemy seizes air superiority, you will inevitably lose land control very quickly, because it is easy to attack the ground from the air, but much more difficult for the ground to attack the air.
Chen Village's future enemies will not always be those Wilderness tribes; soon they will face the major powers of the Central Land, and even the Otherworldly Demon legion.
The Chen Clan originated in the Central Land, and their goal has always been the Central Land. Although they still do not know what happened to their ancestors ten thousand years ago, this does not hinder their determination to return to their homeland.
Chen Mu had already told Chen Hongjie and Chen Zihu about the God-Slaying Child Seal. Although they were very moved, they did not intend to let their clansmen awaken the God-Slaying Bloodline now.
The past is shrouded in mystery. Why did the God-Slaying God Clan decline? Which battlefield did Chen Haoran go to? These matters involve too high a level of power, and Chen Village is not yet qualified to explore them.
Their most important task now is to strengthen themselves. Only by becoming stronger will they be qualified to witness the battlefield Chen Haoran spoke of and bring help to their ancestors.
As for the rest, overthinking only adds to your troubles.
"Young Master Chen Mu, what is this mass-energy defense mode?"
Yin Chunbing arrived at the control room early in the morning. She was very enthusiastic. She had been learning how to use the Intelligent Weapon System from Chen Mu recently, and she hoped to master this weapon, which she had never seen before, as soon as possible.
"Hmm... this feature is not stable enough yet, so I don't use it very often."
Its main function is to absorb the enemy's energy, then restructure it, and finally transform it into a stable material form...
Chen Mu patiently explained to Yin Chunbing, but unfortunately Yin Chunbing only understood half of it and could only nod repeatedly.
Yin Chunbing would be considered his subordinate from now on. Chen Mu was very pleased with her eagerness to learn, so he taught her with extra care.
"Master, why don't I guide Sister Chunbing instead? You still have a lot of work to do."
Seeing that Yin Chunbing was always clinging to Chen Mu, Chen Ju suddenly volunteered.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu felt that Chen Ju's understanding of Intelligent Weapon System was indeed quite in-depth, so he did not refuse.
"Alright, Little Juzi, from now on you'll be in charge of guiding Miss Pure Ice on how to operate her weapon system."
"Yes!"
What Chen Mu didn't notice was that a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Yin Chunbing's eyes, but she didn't refute it and tacitly agreed.
Just then, Chen Mu suddenly sensed that Mingye, who was still in Chen Village, had sent him a communication request.
" Mingye, is something the matter?"
He formed a hand seal with one hand, and with the combination of runes within his body, he easily achieved long-distance communication.
"What, can't I contact you unless I need something?"
Although the voice coming from the communication talisman was calm, Chen Mu keenly sensed a dangerous aura.
"Yes! Of course! Hmm... Has anything happened in the village lately?"
He quickly changed his approach to asking the question.
"A major incident has indeed occurred. The Temple just sent a notice saying that A Huo and the Demon-Slaying Sword have been committing excessive killings in the Wilderness, seriously affecting the Wilderness's ecology."
The Temple demands that Chen Village Chen Village hand over the Demon-Slaying Sword and A Huo within a month, or face punishment.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu frowned.
"Damaging the ecosystem? Have A Huo and his friends killed a lot of monsters lately?"
Since Chen Village was promoted to a higher-level tribe, he has explained all the rules promulgated by the gods to the middle and upper levels. Logically, A Huo should not easily violate them.
Chen Village has always strictly controlled the hunting teams' movements. They never kill young beasts easily and strictly limit the number of monsters killed in an area to no more than one-third.
Chen Village's standards are much stricter than those of other higher-level tribes, so logically, even if they were to be punished in this way, they shouldn't be the ones being punished.
" A Huo has indeed killed quite a few monsters recently, but he has never killed more than a third of the monsters in an area."
He kept changing locations to hunt, so theoretically he shouldn't have disrupted the ecological balance. I wonder how those two Temple messengers judged it.
Mingye explained, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Heh, if you're determined to find fault, you can always find a pretext. It's probably Xing Le's doing again!"
Chen Mu nodded, already having a general idea in mind.
"Let's stall the Temple for now, and raise the alert level in Chen Village during this time. Let's see how they react. We'll deal with the rest when I get back to Chen Village."
"Okay, Chen Mu, how long will it take you to get back to Chen Village?"
"It is expected to take about twenty days."
Okay, that's settled then.
After speaking, Mingye disconnected the communication.
Chen Mu opened his eyes and unconsciously touched his chin.
After losing contact with Mingye, he felt a little lost, though he didn't know why.
" Little Juzi, go and inform Patriarch Yin Lineage that there's no need to conserve Spirit Stone; increase the speed of all spaceships to the maximum."
There's been some trouble in Chen Village; we need to get back Chen Village as soon as possible, just in case.
"Yes!"
Chen Ju nodded obediently and turned to go out to talk to Yin Guang.
Although the Yin Lineage has now sided with Chen Mu, it would be better for Yin Guang to handle the orders from the Yin Lineage members. Chen Mu doesn't want to deal with too many people, as this would waste more of his time on interpersonal relationships.
