A Similar Kind of Overlooking
Zhang Xuezhou watched a Fortune War involving the new emperor, but in reality, time did not flow in a one-to-one fashion.
His gaze swept over Grian, who stood there with an obsequious expression, and then he glanced at the watch Grian was wearing. Only five minutes had passed.
The Qi Luck Bead he was holding had disappeared. Zhang Xuezhou felt that everything ended after the Qi Luck Bead was absorbed into the Fortune Technique Space, but he vaguely sensed that something had been changed.
This change was so subtle that Zhang Xuezhou almost failed to notice it.
"This change didn't affect my strength; it seems to have made me more comfortable within the Aomeijia Alliance!"
Zhang Xuezhou is Scarlet Alliance State. In the Aomeijia Alliance, he is a foreigner. This is not only due to differences in his physical appearance, but also because Zhang Xuezhou does not identify himself as Aomeijia.
This was not the land that gave him birth and raised him, Zhang Xuezhou had no particular attachment to it, but at this moment, he felt a rare sense of longing.
The Aomeijia Alliance is the first major power bordering the Qinmeng continent, and in the minds of Zhang Xuezhou and others, it is also the first line of defense against Qinmeng invasion.
Having this understanding of the defensive line means that the high-level leaders, including Zhang Xuezhou, believe that the Aomeijia Alliance can be consumed or even abandoned, in order to reduce the impact of Qinmeng and minimize the damage to the Scarlet Alliance State.
Zhang Xuezhou used to think this kind of perception was normal and practical, but his thoughts were subtly influenced and changed.
"Today we lose a country, tomorrow we lose another; when the nest is broken, no egg remains intact. Among all the nations, only I can forge alliances; when disaster strikes, we must join hands to face it together!"
The scope of the struggle between Qinmeng and the half-step ascendant is hard to say, but it is certain that the world will be assimilated by Qinmeng.
Zhang Xuezhou was unsure how the origin of the world would continue to reshape it, making it difficult for humans to adapt and turning it into a paradise for all kinds of wild beasts. However, the Sequence Holder could decapitate these alien beasts to maintain the human living environment.
The Scarlet Alliance State continuously produces Seventh Sequence Holder, giving them the confidence to fight against various Ferocious Beast. Other countries, on the other hand, have only a handful of Seventh Sequence Holder. They not only provide combat assistance but also offer technical support.
"Committee Member Zhong!"
Zhang Xuezhou called for Zhong Rang, who had come upon hearing the news.
While listening to Zhong Rang's introduction of some of the cooperation details, Zhang Xuezhou also carefully perceived the cognitive changes brought about by the Qi Luck Bead.
"Professor Zhang, is there some special mystery behind your sacrificial ritual? I've been watching you from a distance, but every time I glance at you for a few seconds, I look away and then shift my gaze to Speaker Grian!"
Grean's current prestige is ridiculously strong. The public release of the content Grean filmed and recorded in Qinmeng, coupled with the retreat of the spider swarms in the northern part of the Aomeijia Alliance, has led the Aomeijia to regard Grean as the leader who drove out the spider swarms. Even the ice and snow disasters caused by the sudden change in climate are regarded as auspicious signs from heaven.
There's not much to say about establishing communications between the Aomeijia Alliance and the Scarlet Alliance State; the highest authority issued a firm order, and everything else was simply a matter of obedience and execution. The transition went very smoothly.
Luo Gaogao and others are currently conducting inspections and maintenance across various Aomeijia Alliance, thereby continuously extending the communication network towards Qinmeng.
Everything went smoothly, Zhong Rang communicated quickly.
As the presentation was drawing to a close, Zhong Rang quickly followed up with questions.
He shook his head vigorously, only to find that Zhang Xuezhou, who was standing in front of him, suddenly disappeared from his sight. He had to concentrate again to see Zhang Xuezhou clearly, who was right in front of him.
"You ignored me?"
Zhang Xuezhou asked in doubt, then looked at Grian.
Without Zhang Xuezhou needing to say anything, Grean already fully understood what Zhang Xuezhou meant.
"Professor Zhang, your brilliance is as dazzling as the sun and stars in the sky. I only have eyes for your brilliance and have never ignored you," Grian exclaimed.
"Sycophant!"
Zhong Rang muttered a complaint.
His relationship with Grean is clearly quite familiar, and he can even criticize Grean.
"Daniel, come here!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved to Daniel, who was fifty meters away, and Daniel immediately ran over excitedly.
"Professor Zhang, you are like Proxima Centauri I and Proxima Centauri II. Your gentle light shines upon our Lineage, and we will follow your Lineage without question, never daring to ignore you!"
Daniel is Grean's son, and Zhang Xuezhou had previously had some exchanges with him.
Upon learning of Zhang Xuezhou's inquiry, Daniel's explanation was similar to that of Grian, but his words were somewhat incoherent, making him seem like a miniature sycophant.
"Committee Member Zhu, please come here for a moment!"
When Zhang Xuezhou invited Zhu Bufan again, Zhu Bufan's account Zhong Rang Rang's, so Zhang Xuezhou called people to make a comparison again.
Are we too old?
Aomeijia and the Scarlet Alliance State were clearly divided into two categories. Zhong Rang and others who were familiar with Zhang Xuezhou would feel a vague sense of neglect, while Grean's team were fanatical towards Zhang Xuezhou, doing whatever Zhang Xuezhou pointed to, falling into extreme blind obedience and trust.
For the first time Zhong Rang wondered if everyone was too old and their minds were getting senile.
Where Ning Que?
"If there weren't so many people around, I might also feel neglected, and that feeling is so strange!"
Call someone who doesn't know me over here!
"Professor, you look so kind. Seeing you is like seeing my grandfather!"
"My dear grandfather?"
As more people verify their identities, the situation becomes more complicated.
The Grean team showed fervor towards Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, which was normal given the Lineage's influence and influence. Others who had never met Zhang Xuezhou felt a strange sense of kinship and did not seem to ignore Zhang Xuezhou.
Zhong Rang and the others would occasionally ignore Zhang Xuezhou's presence; even though they saw Zhang Xuezhou, they would unconsciously pretend not to see him.
This situation did not exist before, but only occurred after Zhang Xuezhou's sacrificial ceremony.
It wasn't until Zhong Rang and the others accompanied Zhang Xuezhou on an Airbus test flight, and the Airbus flew away from the Aomeijia Alliance, that everyone's senses returned to normal.
"I seem to have developed a tendency to neglect and forget those around me, much like Hongjun, and yet the use of the Luck Bead in the sacrificial rites of the Aomeijia Alliance has exempted the Aomeijia from this forgetfulness?"
Zhong Rang, a veteran powerhouse of the Scarlet Alliance State, possessed far greater awareness and vigilance than younger people. After understanding the situation, a simple reminder allowed Zhang Xuezhou to quickly grasp the subtle changes in his body.
After repeated testing, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this situation was beyond his comprehension.
"This didn't happen when I was in the Thousand Islands Alliance. No one ignored my presence, and Zhong Rang and the others returned to normal after leaving the Aomeijia Alliance. It seems that this kind of neglect only occurs in the Aomeijia Alliance..."
Zhang Xuezhou struggled to understand his own situation.
However, Huang Daoxian, who is skilled in Fortune Technique, is also in their camp, so asking him might provide the answer.
If Huang Daoxian cannot discern the truth, Zhang Xuezhou can only try to contact Xuanming after eliminating the influence of the Void Heaven Palace to see if he can find the answer.
