Data City.
"General, are we really going to do this?"
Nie Xingjun's secretary hesitated. As a trusted confidant, his future depended on the other party, but he had to admit that the other party was taking a risk this time!
"What do you think of Elder Liu?" Nie Xingjun asked, smoking a cigarette, as he looked at the supercomputer that had been painstakingly built, now slumped on the ground.
" Elder Liu, he's not bad, is he? He's been quite good to us too."
"Not bad? That's because we still have value now." Nie Xingjun sneered, "Most of the Nie Family who defected have become key members, right? There are two Buddha alone, but have you ever seen them?"
"Uh, how could I possibly have that opportunity?" the secretary said with a wry smile.
The Nie Family's allegiance is kept absolutely secret, including that of other families. The Buddha is already considered a top-tier life form; if such a being were to arrive in Data City, how much of a commotion would it cause?
"I've seen it," Nie Xingjun, looking at the sky with a somewhat confused expression.
They communicated remotely using some kind of device; I think I only saw their eyes. You know, during that conversation, I was on edge the entire time. After our ancestors gave their instructions, everyone, including myself, was exhausted for several days. Do you know why?
"Isn't that kind of life form too powerful?" the secretary replied cautiously.
"Is it because Chen Qing is strong but not strong?" Nie Xingjun sneered, "They are both beings several levels higher than us, so why do I feel no pressure when I see Chen Qing, but feel pressure when I see Long Lidan or my own ancestors?"
secretary. "."
"The reason is simple," Nie Xingjun said, looking at the other person. "Because Chen Qing treats us like human beings, while the others... no longer treat us like human beings."
"No way?" The secretary swallowed hard.
"Didn't you feel it?" Nie Xingjun chuckled. "It's like facing a hungry beast. We can all sense it, but we just don't dare say it usually. The way they look at us is like they're looking at food. They're not human anymore!"
"But Chen Qing," the secretary thought for a moment and finally asked, "Can he do it?"
Facing those monsters
"Whether it works or not is no longer my choice," Nie Xingjun said. "Your sister-in-law gave birth. Although I understand the principle—it's a genetic match based on data—in her eyes, that child is the one she conceived with great difficulty. I don't want my child to see me the way I see those ancestors now, and I certainly don't want me to look at my child like I see a plate of food!"
With that, Nie Xingjun pressed the start button!
Only supercomputer lifeforms can compare to supercomputer lifeforms, and only supercomputers can unlock the shackles of the King Level!
The military strength outside the capital was even weaker than in Jiangnan, but Chen Qing did not see any King Level giant pythons along the way. This was actually easy to determine. King Level beings were still very precious at this time, and no force wanted to lose them. And, coincidentally, the one in the capital was the most likely to kill King Level being.
Chen Qing stepped through the dark fog and quickly arrived outside the capital, where he was met by the emperor who had been waiting for him.
"I've waited so long, but I never expected to be greeted by you?"
The emperor turned around, and his expression toward Chen Qing became somewhat strange. At this moment, Chen Qing looked very weak, while the dragon girl next to him seemed quite dangerous. Although she was also weak, for some reason, she gave him the feeling that she was even more dangerous than his own sister!
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Chen Qing bowed weakly.
"Since you're still alive, why aren't you hurrying back to your Jiangnan? What are you doing here with me?"
"The road to Jiangnan is fraught with danger, but here, with His Majesty here, it is the safest place."
"You're safest here with me?" The emperor looked at Chen Qing with amusement. "That's quite a joke. Do you think I pose no threat to you?"
"If Your Majesty harbored ill intentions towards me, it would naturally be extremely dangerous, but Your Majesty does not," Chen Qing said with a smile. "Your Majesty's goals are the same as mine. In this world full of dangers and monsters, the more people like you and me there are, the more hope there will be."
"You certainly know how to flatter yourself," the emperor said coldly. "And are you sure those monsters won't come to me? I have a feeling that after these so-called Ancient Revival, something will come looking for me. They won't let the capital's defenses slip by now."
The Ghost General under King Xiang's command have not yet fully descended, the Ghost Army is outside, Quefeng was seriously injured in Cloud Capital last time, King Chujiang is being held captive in the underworld and unable to move. In the entire capital, apart from the regular guards, the only strong person is himself.
If the other party were ruthless enough at this point and dispatched enough assassins, they would have a chance to capture him. The reason he sent his elder sister was for this very reason: even if something happened to him while his elder sister was gone, the fate of the Great Jin would still be intact.
"They wouldn't dare," Chen Qing said with certainty. "The longer people live, the more afraid they are of death. These people have lived for countless millennia, and each time they awaken, they hold a lofty position, being the pinnacle of existence, ruling over billions of living beings on this continent. How could they possibly risk their lives?"
"Don't even mention that there aren't many King Level now; even if there were, very few would dare to challenge you, because everyone knows that Your Majesty is practically at the limit of the King Level."
"But he's only at the King Level," the Emperor said quietly. "Although the Earth Spirit hasn't been fully opened yet, I can sense that unreachable barrier. I may never have a chance to catch up with those monsters."
"Does Your Majesty lack confidence?" Chen Qing asked, narrowing his eyes.
"This isn't a matter of faith," the emperor shook his head. " King Xiang spoke with me; he too reached the King Level Peak in a very short time, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't take that final step. That step seemed so close, but in reality, it was worlds apart."
"Your Majesty has never heard of the Dao Fruit?"
"I've heard of it, but not everyone can master something like that, can they?" the emperor said quietly.
"Who told Your Majesty this?" Chen Qing asked, squinting.
" Liu Yu's guess."
"That old man is indeed formidable; no wonder Wang Ye trusts him so much." Chen Qing nodded. "Indeed, the Dao Fruit is a rule of this world. Whoever masters it becomes one of the rules, the so-called Venerable. Many laymen believe that obtaining the Dao Fruit will make them Venerable, but that's not actually the case."
"So you really do know!" the emperor said quietly. "What else is missing?"
"Lack of hardware support"
"Hardware?"
"Mastering a rule requires a massive amount of data; in your words, it requires talent."
"Talent?" The emperor frowned. "My talent is insufficient?"
"Not enough." Chen Qing shook his head. "In reality, only a small group of people in this world have this talent. Those people were actually destined for the position of Venerable from the very beginning, because their talent was predetermined!"
"Talent. And it can be predetermined?" The emperor looked at Chen Qing: "If that's the case, why did you outsiders die at my hands?"
"Because even among the outsiders His Majesty speaks of, only a very small number have this quota. Since the creation of this world, there have only been a handful of these quotas. And now, what I bring are new quotas!"
