Chapter 71: Witnessing the Tragedy of Mutants, Indulging in Pleasure
Stark didn't speak again, but instead continued to pull out a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled a murky cloud of smoke...
He knew, and even Captain Rogers, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the others knew, that they wouldn't survive today. Stark was one of the few among the former Avengers who understood Chen Tian well; anyone who provoked him... would die!
Although Stark had never seen Chen Tian kill anyone, Chen Tian's personality was easy to understand. This time, they had all done things that crossed Chen Tian's bottom line—how could they possibly live?
Therefore, no one said anything, not even begging for mercy. As superheroes, they had their own dignity.
Chen Tian glanced at Stark, shook his head, then stood up and placed his hand on his head. Lightning Ability instantly fused into Stark's body, destroying his heart.
Seeing Stark's body fall, he shook his head. "What a pity."
"Kill them."
Afterward, Chen Tian left the place, and countless Shadow Legion soldiers behind him began their work. At that moment... Dugu Tuo slowly walked toward the former Avengers...
"Boom...!!!" With a suction, the Cat Demon Dugu Tuo just took a glance, and the terrifying power of the Yin Demonsinstantly leveled the area in front of him to the ground!!
Dugu Tuo's strength was truly terrifying; he was able to fight the Four Directional Celestials back and forth with his primordial spirit. If it weren't for the Four Directional Celestials finally gaining enlightenment and sacrificing the fifth claw of the Divine Dragon, Dugu Tuo would never have been sealed!
And precisely because of such terrifying strength, although Dormammu was impressive, he was completely like a child when facing Dugu Tuo. Perhaps the worlds were different, but Dugu Tuo's power was unquestionable.
Some people previously said that Dormammu died too quickly and was weakened too severely, but... it wasn't that he was weakened too severely, but rather that Dugu Tuowas just too powerful.
Dugu Tuo had refined the Fifty Yin Demons, and each one of those Yin Demons could easily beat Dormammu to a pulp...
With this, the Avengers were completely wiped out, Magneto was dead, and Fury was also gone. Chen Tianwent to the U.S. without hesitation to find those idiots.
He killed them all and replaced them with new people. As for those who didn't obey? Then they would only face death. There were many people in New York, but if Chen Tian wanted to, what did it matter if he wiped them all out?
Therefore, after replacing a batch of politicians, there was no more trouble-making. Chen Tian was happy to have peace and quiet. Inside the Tianfu Villa, he watched the Heavenly Dao command the qiankun group combat mechato repair the Nantianmen Series.
Not only that, but Chen Tian also had the Shadow Legiongo hunt down other Mutants. These were uncertain factors; they were different from the first-generation super soldiers Chen Tian had developed.
Some of them used their abilities to do evil, and of course, there were good ones too, but... Chen Tian couldn't be bothered to distinguish between good and bad. He would just wipe them all out. Once the near-Earth orbital defense system was successfully established, it would be time to cleanse the Earth.
By then, the Earth could fully develop its technology and research all the technology from the ten-thousand-year technological knowledge base. There would be no need to worry about resources or materials with the Suiren Void Engine, and no need to worry about slow research speeds with the Heavenly Dao's help.
So, he would cleanse a portion now, and then conduct a full cleansing later.
Of course, this also caused dissatisfaction among all Mutants, but there was nothing they could do...
Although they were Mutants and much stronger than ordinary people, the Shadow Legion was endless—how could they fight back?
Besides this, Chen Tian also had He San help out.
He was a Second-Generation Zombie, a Pangu Zombiefrom the my date with a vampire world. To truly reach the level of the Pangu Clan, that is, the level of Jiang Chen, he needed to crazily absorb blood to evolve.
Especially He San, this mutated zombie; the amount of blood he absorbed was even more terrifying.
And Mutant blood was a great tonic for He San, so He Sanwouldn't refuse.
This led to many Mutants being easily bitten by He San, then having their limbs severed and being nailed to the ground with steel bars, waiting for them to turn into zombies to maximize benefits! Mutant zombies... if he used his abilities to kill them, wouldn't his proficiency points skyrocket?
Therefore, the Mutants had been having a miserable time during this period, while the culprit of it all, Chen Tian, had just finished indulging in pleasure.
His body, which surpassed that of a mortal, was simply too much for the foreign beauty Kalina, whom he had just met, to handle.
In just a few hours, she was like a pile of mud, sleeping soundly in a daze.
But Chen Tian was as if nothing had happened; he took a shower, then put on his swimming trunks again and came to the side of the private pool.
While facing the sunset, he sipped some wine.
Don't ask why he didn't look for the women in his own home... Do you think the women in his home would have a home run so quickly? Chen Tian's appearance wasn't like those of people outside, and besides... when driving a luxury car over, were those who swarmed over even clean?
Here, one has to mention the openness of these foreign beauties. With a little trickery, and then saving her when her life was in danger, wouldn't that be an immediate home run?
"Hmm, this is promising."

Chen Tian basked in the sun while looking at his personal interface... "Yo, about to break through so soon??" Chen Tian was delighted. His Lightning Ability was now over 9.9 million; it was only a few tens of thousands away from 10 million proficiency points.
He San had done well during this period.
"Hmm, about to break through, let's do a draw to celebrate."
"System, draw."
[Ding-- Drawing...] [Ding-- Congratulations to the host for drawing an item, obtained: one pair of gray trousers.] [Ding-- Congratulations to the host for drawing an item, obtained: one bottle of Wahaha soda water.] [Ding-- Congratulations to the host for drawing an item, obtained: one short-sleeved shirt.] [Ding-- Congratulations to the host for drawing an item, obtained: one solar-powered fan.] [Ding-- Congratulations to the host for drawing an ability, obtained: Slot Machine guaranteed win ability.] [Ding-- Congratulations to the host for drawing an ability, obtained: Fried Golden Flower (Three Aces) guaranteed win ability.]...
"..." Chen Tian.
Hmm, bad luck, so annoying! Need to vent!!
After saying that, he got up and ran to Kalina's side to start indulging in pleasure!
"???" Kalina.
Meanwhile, various qiankun group combat mecha were also heading to various places. As for what they were doing... eliminating the last of those Mutants, making them completely disappear!!
Chapter 72: Sudden Breakthrough, Lightning Ability Level 7
One can only imagine how powerful this qiankun group combat mecha is, right?
As for whether there were any consequences or anything like that... would they dare to complain?
Therefore, a few more days passed, and the Mutants had reached the end of their rope; there was simply no way out.
You might be able to handle the Shadow Legion, and you might be able to fight the qiankun group combat mecha, but... you would definitely die at the hands of the Second-Generation Zombie He San, and he would even turn you into a zombie before killing you off...
Thus, after these few days passed, the Mutants were gone.
[Ding -- Host's servant has slain a living being, Proficiency +3!]
At this moment, Chen Tian, who was still enjoying life and playing games with Kalena, paused, suddenly feeling a more powerful force surging into his body...
"Holy crap!! Shadow Legion!!"
Chen Tian shouted, and countless Shadow Soldiersinstantly took him away from there, arriving at a room in low Earth orbit!
Afterward, Chen Tian stepped directly onto a qiankun group combat mecha and traveled even further away...
"Boom...!!!" In an instant!!
Just after Chen Tian left low Earth orbit, a terrifying power of thunder exploded in an instant!!
Amidst the roaring sounds, the monstrous Lightning Ability ravaged the space; whether it was meteorites or other objects, they were instantly turned into powder by the lightning, and some even disappeared completely!!
Even... even the space within a ten-kilometer radius of that area was somewhat distorted due to the terrifying power!!
"Holy crap... is Brother Tian... getting stronger again??"
"Oh my god, this is too terrifying, he even smashed the meteorites to pieces. Look at that area, why can't I see Brother Tian clearly?"
"Mouse, didn't your sister tell us about this a while ago? When energy erupts to the extreme, it can even annihilate space. Could... could this be it??"
"It should be. Mouse's sister is an expert, she's even helping out at the Space Elevator base now."
...Many brothers wearing the qiankun group combat mechaand those in the space combat fighter groups were shocked. Those waves of energy were causing the space to distort...
The terrifying energy, even from a great distance away, allowed one to feel the sensation of wind in space...
This really doesn't follow the laws of physics, where would there be wind in space...
But it was indeed true...
It wasn't just Chen Tian. Inside Earth, in an abandoned factory in Tokyo, the Japanese archipelago, He San, having just killed a zombie he raised using his Lightning Ability, looked toward space...
Even from a great distance, he could sense a power in space that originated from the same source as his own...
"It's Master. It seems Master has broken through again; I need to step up my efforts too." After saying this, He Sanlooked at the few Japanese whose limbs he had severed, whose mouths he had blocked, and who were constantly whimpering...
During this time, He San had not rested at all. He had been assimilating the Japanese, hundreds every day, hundreds every day, and now he had developed tens of thousands of Japanese Third-generation Zombies.
But it was a pity that these were Japanese. Therefore, every time He San bit a few, once they turned into zombies, he would immediately sever their limbs, block their mouths, and nail them to the ground with steel bars to ensure they didn't die.
Then he would go and assimilate more...
Because of this, there were many steel bars inserted here; counting them carefully, there were tens of thousands, but now only a few thousand remained, along with those Japanese pinned to the ground...
Killing those bugs wasn't as satisfying as killing these. Killing those others might affect the ecology or something, but killing Japanese wouldn't. He could kill as many as he wanted, kill them all, and Chen Tian wouldn't say anything; on the contrary, he would even reward him.
Therefore, He San worked with great enthusiasm.
"Zzzzz..." After saying this, He San immediately used his Lightning Ability again to annihilate dozens of JapaneseThird-generation Zombies...
In space. The massive Lightning Ability was raging inside Chen Tian's body, eventually gathering at the center of his eyebrows. It felt as if something was about to protrude from the center of his eyebrows, and a vertical streak of white light appeared there...
"Boom...!!!" I don't know how much time passed, but with a roar! The terrifying energy aftermath annihilated everything within ten kilometers!!
Fortunately, this was space. If this were on Earth, perhaps hundreds of kilometers would have been gone by now...
[Ding --] [Host: Chen Tian.] [Knowledge: Six Depths Immortal Thief, Yin Yang Five Thunder Method, Master-level Cooking, Master-level Piano, Master-level Driving, Maoshan Talisman Compendium, Firearm Theory...]
[Technique: Fire God Technique. (Not Cultivated)] [Abilities: Immortality (dog talisman), Gravity Manipulation, Fire Ability Lv5 (240210 / 1000000), Lightning Ability Lv7 (645 / 100000000), Heaven's Eye.] (Decimals not counted)

As Chen Tian opened his eyes, his personal interface appeared.
"He San is pretty good, he helped me reach level 7 so quickly. It seems our decision was right; letting He San go help me kill people while I just slack off is the best choice." Chen Tian laughed.
With this upgrade, Chen Tian not only broke through to level 7 Lightning Ability, but also gained an ability... Heaven's Eye!!
Besides what was shown on his personal interface, Chen Tian also had a special feeling... His consciousness could cover the entire Earth, and even... half of the Solar System!
Moreover, even when traversing through space, his speed in space could reach the speed-of-light level he had on Earth...
This might not be very clear, but simply put, Chen Tian in space was no different from being on Earth; his speed could still reach the level of light speed on Earth.
You have to know, space has no gravity and so on and so forth. Because of a series of differences, space travel is very difficult. Just like those astronauts, without thrusters, not on the moon or meteorites, but in space, with nothing around, they simply cannot move.
They can only move by following the universal gravitation in space. But Chen Tian was unaffected.
Not only that, Chen Tian could clearly feel that if he didn't use Tso Lan to manipulate gravity, he could easily destroy a planet with his lightning power!
This was terrifying... Level 7 could already destroy a planet, level 8... level 9... and finally level 10...
Alright, although level 10 can control laws, it is now certain that even controlling laws is only equivalent to touching the surface, like in those prehistoric novels.
It is different from those great beings who truly Masterlaws. But it is also not bad; after all, Chen Tian doesn't cultivate, so what's wrong with mastering laws without needing to cultivate??
"My strength is pretty good now, hmm... I'll go back. That kid just now must have been scared quite a bit, I..."
"Mr. Chen Tian, please wait a moment, is that okay??"
Chapter 73: Odin Visits, A Deal
Just as Chen Tian was planning to return to Earth, continue lying flat and slacking off, waiting for the near-Earth orbit defense system, and for his subordinate He San to continue killing living beings for him.
A voice came from behind.
"Mr. Chen Tian, could you please wait a moment?"
At this moment, a colorful light appeared behind Chen Tian, shining directly onto the moon, and then an old man with white hair and a white beard walked out...
"Bifrost?"
Chen Tian frowned. He appeared on the moon in an instant, and when he saw the old man, he was even more puzzled.
"Are you... Odin?"
Chen Tian looked at the man; he was none other than the King of Asgard, the All-Father, Odin!!
"Indeed. Please sit, Mr. Chen Tian."
Odin chuckled, sat on a crater, patted the space beside him, and signaled for Chen Tian to sit down.
"..." Chen Tian.
No, big brother... oh no, old man, can't you find a clean place to sit??
Look at that patch of white dust, it's dirty, okay? And... damn it, I was just riding a Western woman, and now I don't even have any clothes on!!
In an instant, Chen Tian put on his clothes and sat down: "Odin, Lord of Asgard, what do you want with me?"
Hearing Chen Tian's question, Odin did not answer, but instead looked at Earth: "Mr. Chen Tian, you know that Asgard has always been protecting Earth, right?"
"Yes, Asgard has always protected Earth, and therefore, Earth is also Asgard's... heh, vassal."
In the Marvel Universe, although the gods of Asgardpossess longevity and strength that surpass humans, why was Thor banished to Earth??
First, Earth is nominally a vassal of the Asgardian gods, and they shoulder the responsibility of protecting their vassal race. As the next King of Asgard, Thor currently lacks the necessary temperament and still needs training. Therefore, they needed to find a place that wasn't too dangerous to let Thor develop.
It also allows Thor to gradually develop a god's way of thinking...
This is very similar to the Super Seminary, for example, the conversation between the Angel Queen Keisha and the Power of the Galaxy, Ge Xiaolun, when she came to Earthwas meant to let the Power of the Galaxy, Ge Xiaolun, have a god's thinking ability, rather than thinking with a mortal's mindset.
Second, the Ancient One is on Earth!
Many people say that if Odin didn't die and the Ancient One didn't pass away, Thanos wouldn't dare to step foot on Earth. This theory is credible because Odin is the All-Father, and his strength is immense.
In the Marvel Universe, it is established that Asgardians live for up to five thousand years. The longer the lifespan, the greater the divine power within the body. This is both a good thing and a bad thing...
Because as lifespan increases, the divine power within grows, and the body cannot withstand such immense power. For example, Odin once had to go into a deep sleep to regulate the divine power within him, and in the end, he completely dissipated into particles of light.
Of course, the claim that Earth is a vassal of Asgard is also verifiable. Perhaps it shouldn't be called a vassal; let's put it another way... is it cooperation?
But how can Earthlings cooperate with Asgardians? It's nothing more than the Ancient One. If not, then it's a vassal.
Therefore, Asgard shoulders the responsibility of protecting Earth. As for the Chitauri Army invasion... just kidding, I sent a prince over there, isn't it normal for some people to die??
"Yes, indeed... Earth is truly beautiful."
Odin looked at Earth and sighed: "Sometimes when I am tired, I choose to rest somewhere on Earth. It's different in Asgard; the status is different. In Asgard, I am the All-Father, but on Earth, I can be an ordinary person..."
"Mr. Chen Tian..."
As he spoke, Odin looked at Chen Tian: "I am willing to make a deal with you. I will hand over the Reality Stone to you; can you protect Asgard?"
Finally, he got to the point. Hearing this, Chen Tian smiled: "You, Odin, are the All-Father; who would dare to make a move against Asgard?"
"Presumably you already know that I am about to enter the darkness. In your words... body dies and path vanishes... hmm, that's a good phrase."
Odin laughed: "I know I will die, and I know that after I die, Asgard will face a great catastrophe, but... before I die, I can still do something for my people, which is a good thing."
"I don't know about your affairs, Mr. Chen Tian, or even the knowledge. On Earth, only Stark is a person who has been cursed by knowledge, but... it is also because of your extraordinary nature and your powerful strength that I choose to make a deal with you."
"Of the six Infinity Stones, you have already obtained three. With the one I have, that makes four. For your future plans, they are all crucial, aren't they?"
Chen Tian listened in silence...
Odin was right; he didn't know about his affairs, including that technology... because the only one on Earth cursed by knowledge was Stark, not him. And... for Chen Tian, the Infinity Stones were endless energy!
Right now, Chen Tian was using all three Infinity Stones to power the locator for another world, and it was very slow. If he had four, the speed would naturally be much faster.
Besides that, once Chen Tian obtained four Infinity Stones, he would never lack energy for building more powerful technology in the future. Perhaps... if he obtained some kind of devouring ability in the future, he could directly devour the Infinity Stones, and his strength would skyrocket!!
Furthermore, at the beginning, Odin didn't answer Chen Tian, but instead said that Earth had been protected by Asgard for many years, so why shouldn't someone from Earth protect Asgard in return?
This wasn't moral kidnapping, because Odin finally proposed making a deal. This was just a deal, leaving Chen Tian with no reason to refuse.
It was precisely because Odin grasped Chen Tian's intentions that he dared to come and say so much to him.
"Congratulations, I agree... to this deal." Chen Tian sighed; he originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Universe.
Let them fight if they want to. I'll just keep developing Earth, and can't I be the number one in the Universe in the end?
But there's no helping it... Odin is offering too much! It's the Reality Stone!
Right now, the Suiren Void Engine is running at full power, frantically absorbing the power of the Space, Mind, and Time Stones, and is detecting the locator for the Hongwu Ming World. This means the Suiren Void Engine cannot be moved for now.
So, after the near-Earth orbit defense system is established, what should he do to build other things? Isn't the Reality Stone here for that??
With it, he can just materialize things, brother. It's different from the Suiren Void Engine; the Suiren Void Engine still needs energy, but the Reality Stone can materialize objects and is also a source of energy!!
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"Pleasure doing business with you."
The two shook hands, signaling that the deal had officially begun. Odin didn't waste any words, handed the Reality Stone to Chen Tian, and then left. As for where he went...
He probably went to have a heart-to-heart with his two foolish sons.
Chen Tian also returned to Earth. He continued with the Western woman he hadn't finished riding yet; anyway, there was no rush now, time to play!
Chapter 74: Analyzing the Reality Stone, Fusing Functions, Something Seems to Have Gone Wrong
Just like that, a month passed. Earth developed peacefully; the space elevator was completed, and the near-Earthorbit construction was halfway done. However, He San's level six Lightning Ability caused quite a stir.
It also brought Chen Tian a great deal of proficiency points. He was even thinking... should he find a few more people to stir up trouble?
But after thinking about it, he decided against it. Take it slow.
During this month, Chen Tian had his fill of fun. Apart from black slaves, he had been with all kinds of women. After all... what is it that a man wants most? To wake up holding the power of the world, and fall asleep on a beauty's lap!
In modern times, that means cars, money, and girls.
Over this month, the items Chen Tian drew were uneven in quality. Most were useless trinkets; he even drew a rat corpse once...
"Damn, is my luck really this bad?"
Chen Tian was speechless. He then got up, ignored the pale flesh on the bed, put on his clothes, and appeared on a lounge chair by the pool to sunbathe.
"Mr. Chen Tian, the Hongwu Ming World locator has been successfully detected!!"
At this moment, the reminder from the Suiren Void Enginemade Chen Tian pause. He had almost forgotten about this thing. Without hesitation, he focused his mind and entered the dark plane.
[Analyzing target...]
[A device crafted from materials outside the world, emitting a unique signal.]
[Signal source: outside the Universe... outside the world.]
Chen Tian looked at the device floating in mid-air before him...
It emitted a beam of light. The light flew out of the dark plane, flew out of Earth, and even beyond the Solar System and the Milky Way Galaxy!
"Materials not belonging to the world, a signal... emmmm..."
Chen Tian stroked his chin as he looked at the device. These materials were decent. If used to build the Qin Emperor Series—the Unify Eight Wildernesses Galaxy Antimatter Energy Cannon—the power would definitely be awesome.
But this thing was a locator for another world, and it was even from the time period of the Hongwu Great Emperor, whom Chen Tian quite liked...
"Now that I have three stones and the Reality Stone, I wonder if I can use this locator to build a cross-world gate? Logically speaking, a cross-world gate, one that crosses out of the world, involves various laws."
"And both the Suiren Void Engine and the Reality Stonerewrite reality; theoretically, it should be possible..."
Chen Tian pondered and spoke: "Suiren Void Engine, can you use the three stones to analyze the Reality Stone? Can you analyze all of its functions?"
If, as Chen Tian thought, every world had different laws, order, and rules, then using the Reality Stone to build a so-called cross-world gate would definitely not work.
In the Marvel animation, it appeared that an Ultron from a meta-Universe not only successfully fused with an organic body and destroyed everyone on Earth but also killed Thanos and snatched the remaining stones.
He obtained the six stones, gained insight into everything in the Universe, destroyed everything in the Universe, and eventually saw Watcher. He fought with Watcher, Watcher fled, found people in other meta-Universes, and wanted to come back to destroy Ultron.
He even eventually controlled Ultron and wanted to use a crusher to destroy the stones, but unfortunately, the crusher could not destroy Infinity Stones outside of its own Universe.
Therefore... from this, we know that every Universe has Infinity Stones, and one could even say... every Universe is a unique world with its own set of rules.
Chen Tian also knew this, so using the Reality Stone to build a cross-world gate was simply not feasible. Not to mention other worlds, it was uncertain whether the stones from this Universe would even have their full power in another Universe.
"It can be done."

Until the end, Chen Tian was completely dumbfounded...
Holy crap... what just happened???
Just a moment ago... something incredible seems to have happened!!!
Chapter 75: Unique Matter from Outside the world, Batch-Producing Infinity Stones
Listening to the series of operations by the Suiren Void Engine, Chen Tian was stunned...
"Th-this... what on earth just happened?!?"
"My god... why does it feel like something incredible happened in the last few minutes..."
"Suiren, what just happened?"
"Mr. Chen Tian, just now, Suiren used the energy of the Time, Space, and Mind Stones to analyze the Reality Stone. The analysis was successful, the abilities were acquired, and the Reality Stone's capabilities were copied as a bonus."
Listening to Chen Tian's inquiry, the Suiren Void Engineslowly explained: "Both the analysis and the copying went exceptionally smoothly. However, after detecting it through the locator and attempting to build the interdimensional gate, the energy was completely insufficient. Whether using the three stones—Time, Space, and Mind—or adding the Reality Stone, a total of four stones, it was impossible to build it."
"I could only tear a gap in the space of this world, but because of the insufficient energy to build the interdimensional gate after the tear, the moment the spatial gap was ripped open, a unique substance surged in from outside the world's spatial gap. This substance is not a living creature, not a plant, nor is it a solid entity. It seems to be a kind of vapor, yet it is not vapor, and it possesses intense aggression."
"Therefore, Suiren used the energy of the four stones to rewrite reality, rewrite the world's rules, rewrite the world's order, and rewrite the world's laws to seal the spatial gap again."
"After sealing it, that vapor which entered the worldseemed to lose all life, just like a creature that has completely died, and transformed into a unique substance with powerful energy. Suiren absorbed this unique substance to fully build the interdimensional gate, and also rewrote the world's rules to create the device for opening the interdimensional gate."
After listening to Suiren's explanation, Chen Tian finally realized what had happened.
"Damn... th-this... so much happened in such a short amount of time?!?"
Suiren rewriting the world's rules was normal; after all, it could create things out of thin air, which is rewriting reality, and besides that, there was the Reality Stone.
The Suiren Void Engine had analyzed the Reality Stone. The Reality Stone possesses the ability to rewrite worldlaws, world order, and world rules, and the Suiren Void Engine had integrated this ability as well.
Therefore, Suiren could do it.
But all of this, everything, could not achieve crossing between worlds!
Why?!?
As mentioned before, every world has different order, laws, and rules. You might be able to use items from this worldin another, but the effects might not be as powerful as at their peak, or perhaps, when used in another world, the power of the item might be even more awesome than at its peak.
This is because different worlds have varying levels of strength.
But the power of the four stones could at most only open a spatial gap in the world—let's call it the world Barrier for now—and after opening the world Barrier, it couldn't do anything else.
Because a world has its own unique rules, it is difficult to accomplish things that can be done in this world when outside of it.
Furthermore, according to Suiren's explanation, it used the power of the four stones to open the world Barrier, and outside the world, there is a unique substance that carries extremely powerful aggression!!
Suiren had no choice but to take defensive measures. In an instant, with quintillions of calculations, it used the power of the stones and coordinated with the world's rules to completely seal the world Barrier.
At the moment the world Barrier was sealed, those substances, just like a living creature that has lost all life, completely transformed into a unique substance.
It was this substance that allowed the Suiren Void Engineto successfully build the interdimensional gate...
It could be said that without this substance, the Suiren Void Engine would have been unable to build the interdimensional gate no matter what, unless it grew stronger along with Chen Tian. Perhaps it could be done later, but now... it was absolutely impossible.
"Can this substance be analyzed?" If this substance could be analyzed, perhaps the Suiren Void Engine could produce it, and then would there still be a lack of energy?
The Suiren Void Engine had already said it had powerful energy, so if it could be analyzed...
"Cannot be done, cannot be parsed, cannot be detected."
However, the Suiren Void Engine quickly answered: "This unique substance does not exist in the world, and it is extremely powerful. If calculated based on the six Infinity Stones, their level is quintillions of times higher than the Stones. Parsing it would require a massive amount of energy; Suiren currently cannot parse it."
"I see..."
There was no other way. This substance was from outside the world. Since the Hongwu Ming World exists, then the concept of the Myriad worlds that Chen Tian understood in his past life should also exist.
And for this substance to exist across the Myriad worlds, how high is its level? It was unimaginable. But... having said that, if this substance is of such a high level, why was it easily handled by Suiren??
Chen Tian threw the question to Suiren. The Suiren Void Engine replied: "Unknown, not understood, cannot be determined. But there is one point: it possesses powerful aggression, but upon entering the world, as long as the world's spatial gap is sealed, they become a unique substance. They lose their aggression and transform into a substance with powerful energy. Currently, two-tenths of the energy is enough to create ten Reality Stones."
"Damn!!!"
Chen Tian was shocked... The energy is enough to create ten Reality Stones... What kind of concept is that??
As long as this energy is sufficient, Chen Tian can batch-produce Infinity Stones!!
The Suiren Void Engine can create things out of thin air. As long as it knows the appearance, programming, and various abilities of those items, or calculates them using formulas—as long as it knows the principles of the item's formula and has sufficient energy—Suiren can create them.
And now the Suiren Void Engine already has records of the Reality Stone. If it records the other stones... will everyone have an Infinity Stone by then???
"Heh! That means we can do this a few more times!!"
Chen Tian was delighted. Since this substance is not a living creature, it has no brain. After entering the world, as long as the world Barrier is sealed, then it is just energy!!
In this way, the Infinity Stones... really have become "infinite" stones!!
"Suiren, perform everything you just did again. Record, analyze, and parse the Time Stone. Open the world's spatial gap again, and as soon as that special substance enters, seal the gap immediately."
"Very well, Mr. Chen Tian..."
After speaking, Suiren started operating again. Now there was no need to use the energy of other stones; there was still two-tenths of the special substance absorbed earlier left, and two-tenths is enough to create ten Reality Stones.
Analyzing the Time Stone is simple enough.
And this time, it didn't build an interdimensional gate, so the speed was lightning fast. Soon, it absorbed another wave of the special substance. Chen Tian immediately had Suiren analyze the Space Stone, and then the Mind Stone...
Within an hour, all four stones were recorded, and the special substance absorbed was enough to create hundreds of different types of Infinity Stones!!
"Awesome, just awesome. Now I don't need to worry about energy, and I've recorded four Infinity Stones. Now all that's left are the Power and Soul Stones. In a while, I'll go get the Power and Soul Stones. The Power Stone should be with Thanos right now, and the Soul Stone... seems to be on Vormir..."
Chapter 76: Opening the Interdimensional Gate, is Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying going to die?
"Power... perhaps it would be better to have Thanos deliver it personally. As for the Soul Stone, it requires sacrificing a loved one? If we follow the conclusions of the Suiren Void Engine, there's likely some switch that can be triggered to obtain the Soul Stone."
Chen Tian shook his head, then exited the dark plane and returned the Time Stone to the Sorcerer Supreme. After all... at this point, these stones were basically a dime a dozen to him.
"Alright, now... let me see what it feels like to travel across the world again."
Chen Tian chuckled, and a device resembling a remote control appeared in his hand. This was the Interdimensional Gate activation device, containing immense energy injected by the Suiren Void Engine.
One must know that forging the Interdimensional Gate and this device consumed eighty percent of the first batch of special materials. Twenty percent was enough to forge ten Infinity Stones, so one can imagine just how powerful the energy within this was!!
"Beep..." Chen Tian pressed against the void.
In an instant! The space before his eyes distorted and shattered, until... a door handle appeared...
This was the Interdimensional Gate!
All it took was grabbing the handle and opening it, and the other side would be another world!!
Chen Tian grabbed it and pulled without hesitation. The space, which clearly showed a seascape, was pulled open as if it had always been that way. Furthermore... on the opened door, the seawater was still surging, and the wind was still rustling the leaves...
Peculiar... It was different from the portals of Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, which simply tore a hole in space. This Interdimensional Gate seemed to imprison this patch of space, yet it didn't seem imprisoned either, because the original scene was still flowing on the "door"...
As for the other side of the door, it was a magnificent palace. Sitting inside was a middle-aged man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe and an imperial crown, along with a youth in a four-clawed python robe.
On the bed sat a middle-aged woman wearing a golden phoenix robe. Standing to the side were a woman and a child, along with many white-haired... imperial physicians kneeling on the ground...
"Who are you!!!" At that moment, the middle-aged man in the five-clawed golden dragon robe saw Chen Tian and glared at him. A unique aura radiated from his body, as if he could swallow the heavens and the earth! Between his brows lay infinite imperial might!
Chen Tian frowned: "You are... Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"Presumptuous! How dare you address the Emperor by name!!" At this, a man in blue official robes beside the middle-aged man shouted angrily, his long saber pointing directly at Chen Tian, as if he would butcher Chen Tian at a single word from the middle-aged man.
Besides them, the youth in the four-clawed python robe, the woman in the phoenix robe, and the kneeling woman all looked at Chen Tian...
The latter chuckled, took a step forward, and then entered the Interdimensional Gate...
After Chen Tian entered the Interdimensional Gate, the gate vanished. Aside from the activation device in his hand, nothing remained, as if he had always existed in this world.
"Hmm... not bad, not bad. Let me ask, what year and month is it now?" Chen Tian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled...
Indeed, that man wearing the five-clawed golden dragon imperial robe was none other than the founding emperor of the Great Ming! The Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang!!
Zhu Yuanzhang had been furious because his beloved grandson was ill, and this sudden occurrence left him completely bewildered. After all... if anyone were going about their business and suddenly a screen the size of a door appeared before them, with a complete stranger on the other side... anyone would be confused.
"It is currently the end of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Hongwu. May I ask who you are, sir?" At this moment, before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, the Great Ming's most steady Crown Prince, Zhu Biao, who was wearing the four-clawed python robe, asked.
"The end of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Hongwu? That's only a day or two from the first of the fifth month? Oh... is Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying going to die??" Chen Tian was stunned upon hearing this.
In his previous life, the ancient emperor he liked the most, besides Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of all ages, was the greatest emperor of all ages, Zhu Yuanzhang... This title wasn't coined by Chen Tian, but by the Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhi.
"Presumptuous!!!" But... after Chen Tian finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "How dare you curse my grandson! Er Hu, behead him for me!!" "Yes!"
"Whoosh...!!!" In an instant, Er Hu moved, but the next moment he was floating in mid-air...
Er Hu was dumbfounded, and everyone else was stunned, completely unable to understand what was happening...
"Don't worry. Since I know your grandson is going to die, I'm definitely going to help you, Old Zhu." Chen Tianchuckled and glanced at the imperial physicians kneeling on the ground, and they too floated up...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, save us, Your Majesty!!" "Mercy... mercy... mercy, oh immortal deity..." "Crown Prince... Crown Prince, save this old servant!!" "Empress..."
Well, these imperial physicians called out to everyone in the Zhu family. "This..." This scene shocked everyone. After all... such a thing had never happened before. Damn it, where had they ever seen such a scene??
"Empress Ma, may I see the Imperial Grandson?" Chen Tian quickly arrived at the bedside, looking at Empress Ma, Ma Xiuying, who had a few strands of white hair.
Empress Ma looked at Chen Tian in shock, and only after hearing his words did she react: "Sir... can you save my grandson?"
"Naturally. If I cannot save him, no one in the world can. Furthermore, he is destined to die on the first of the fifth month." Chen Tian shrugged.
The Hongwu Emperor's eldest grandson was not Zhu Yunwen, but the first child born to Crown Prince Zhu Biaoand Crown Princess Lady Chang, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying!!
When Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying was born, the Hongwu Emperor was so happy that he declared, "The three generations of great rulers of the Great Ming are all here," cementing Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's position as the Imperial Grandson. Unfortunately, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying died too early. If he had lived, how would it ever have been Zhu Yunwen's turn??
However, upon hearing this, Empress Ma's expression was uncertain. After all, she had just met this person, but... this person seemed to possess supernatural abilities, and the imperial physicians had all said that Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying could not live... What harm was there in letting him try?
"Very well! Please, sir." In the end, Empress Ma seemed to make up her mind and stood up. "Meizi!" "Chongba, if even supernatural abilities cannot save Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, then it is simply a tribulation in his fate..." Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish, Empress Ma sighed and placed her hand on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder. The latter sighed upon hearing this as well.
As for Chen Tian... was Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's illness difficult to treat? History records it as pox, and pox is also called smallpox. Cowpox vaccination could solve it, but... this thing had actually entered the imperial palace, and coincidentally, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying had contracted it? Furthermore... Empress Ma seemed to have contracted this thing as well... The implications were profound...
As for saving Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, it was simple. Have you heard of the Genetic Serum? One dose, and never mind pox; even a terminal illness, as long as the patient still has one breath left, it will fix it for you. It contains many things related to the human body and enhances genes. Once the Genetic Serum is used, not to mention immunity to all poisons, but ordinary symptoms simply cannot appear!
Chapter 77: Three General Xu Das? Everyone Is Shocked, Crown Prince Zhu Biao Is Stunned
With a single thought, Chen Tian commanded the Suiren Void Engine to create a vial of first-generation Genetic Serum.
Now, the Suiren Void Engine no longer relied on those energy-absorbing devices, or rather... the Void Engine had never relied on those devices; they existed within the dark plane of its own entity.
If it weren't for the need for energy, why bother with those devices?
Moreover, because Chen Tian had the Suiren Void Engineabsorb special substances three times before entering the interdimensional gate, this energy was enough for the Suiren Void Engine to create hundreds of different Infinity Stones, let alone a vial of first-generation Genetic Serum. Therefore, there was absolutely no shortage of energy.
Without hesitation, Chen Tian took the vial of serum and injected it into Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's body, then used gravity to suspend him in mid-air the next moment...
Everyone present watched this scene, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, or the imperial physicians and Er Hu, who were also floating in mid-air.
"Ahhhhh..."
The next moment!
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying wailed in pain, his body trembling violently...
"This... what have you done to my precious grandson!! You..."
"Old Zhu, there are gains and losses. If you want to defy the heavens and change fate, some pain must be endured."
Zhu Yuanzhang shot to his feet in a rage, but before he could finish, Chen Tian smiled faintly and spoke, while also prohibiting everyone from moving.
After all... to these ancients, many of the things Chen Tiandid were inconceivable.
Thus, after wailing in pain for about half an hour, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying fell into a deep sleep...
Chen Tian lowered him down. Not only Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, but the imperial physicians and Er Hu also descended. "Alright, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying is fine now. And... when he wakes up, he'll have no problem taking on all your Imperial Guards by himself."
"What are you standing there for! Hurry up and check my precious grandson!!" Zhu Yuanzhang kicked an imperial physician, who scrambled over in terror...
As for Chen Tian, he smiled and shook his head, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang. "I'll wait for you outside the hall." With that, he strode away.
"How is he?" After Chen Tian left, Crown Prince Zhu Biaoimmediately stepped forward to ask, but the imperial physicians' eyes were full of shock and disbelief; they checked his pulse again...
They knelt before Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the others. "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Empress, the Imperial Grandson's body has recovered, and it is better than anyone else's! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected that a ferocious beast was living inside the Imperial Grandson!"
"Really?" After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and touched Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, a smile appearing on his face. "Is this true? Why do you say a ferocious beast is living inside my grandson?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Grandson's body is extremely powerful. In recent years, I have often checked the pulses of Your Majesty and the military generals. Some generals have strong vitality, such as General Chang Yuchun and General Xu Da; they have strong vitality."
"But when I took the Imperial Grandson's pulse, I found that his vitality was even higher than those great generals. If we calculate roughly, the Imperial Grandson is comparable to three General Xu Das!!"
The imperial physician shouted excitedly and hoarsely, "It must be Your Majesty's achievements, Your Majesty's ambition, and Your Majesty's love for the Imperial Grandson that moved the heavens! The heavens sent a Celestial down, and that is why the Imperial Grandson can surpass all people! The Great Ming will be solidified for three generations! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Great Ming! Long live the Great Ming!! Long live Your Majesty!!!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Great Ming! Long live the Great Ming!! Long live Your Majesty!!!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Great Ming! Long live the Great Ming!! Long live Your Majesty!!!"
"Congratulations to Father Emperor! Congratulations to the Great Ming! Long live the Great Ming!! Long live Father Emperor!!!"
Listening to everyone cheering, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and looked at Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongyingwith increasing tenderness.
"Good, good, good! You rascal, why haven't you gone to thank the Celestial yet? If you keep the Celestial waiting, see if I don't beat you to death." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily, then kicked Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
The latter happily received the order and left.
Amidst everyone's laughter, no one noticed a glimmer of malice in the eyes of the woman kneeling on the ground...
"Celestial! Thank you, Celestial, for saving my son's life!!"
After Crown Prince Zhu Biao came out, he immediately prostrated himself, but before he could fully bow, he couldn't kneel down...
"Your Highness, there is no need for such formalities. Would you be willing to show me around this vast Imperial Palace?" Chen Tian chuckled. "Also, there is no need to call me Celestial. My name is Chen Tian, courtesy name Tian Chen. You can just call me Tian Chen."
"How can that be?"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao insisted otherwise, but Celestial... I'm not a missionary, nor am I a charlatan. In the end, Crown Prince Zhu Biao addressed him as Mr. Tian Chen.
From then on, Crown Prince Zhu Biao took Chen Tian all over the Imperial Palace. I have to say... it was indeed huge, and it had Crown Prince Zhu Biao panting for breath.
"Your Highness, your body... is not good. You need to train."
Chen Tian laughed. "How about I get you a Genetic Serumas well?"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt ashamed upon hearing Chen Tian's words. He had learned about the Genetic Serumwhile they were walking and chatting earlier; it was the very thing that had saved Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying. This shocked Crown Prince Zhu Biao. "This... how can I accept this?"
That thing... it could bring the dying Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying back to life, and his body was even stronger than three General Xu Das. Who wouldn't want that??
"It's fine, I have plenty of these. Not just for you, but for Old Zhu, Empress Ma, Lady Chang... Oh right, Lady Changpassed away in the eleventh year, right?" Chen Tianpaused. Crown Prince Zhu Biao's wife, the Old Zhu family only had one daughter-in-law.
That was Lady Chang, the daughter of Chang Yuchun. She was elegant and graceful, a daughter-in-law whom both Old Zhu and Empress Ma liked very much. Unfortunately, she passed away after giving birth to Zhu Yuntong.
Hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao seemed to recall a departed loved one, his face filled with reminiscence...
"Suiren Void Engine, it's been a while, have you explored this world?" Chen Tian asked in his heart.
"Exploration complete and recorded. All flora, fauna, and living beings from the origin of the world to the present have been documented."
"Alright, you have Lady Chang's data, right? Can you create an android based on Lady Chang and inject the data into it?"
Bringing the dead back to life! To be honest, android technology has its pros and cons. The pro is that as long as there is memory data, people are no longer truly dead. The con is that this technology is not perfect for Earth at the moment; if androids were to attack in groups, that would be difficult to handle.
But for Chen Tian, it was not a problem.
Because with the Suiren Void Engine, he could clearly record everything in the world, and even record the data of people who had passed away. Relying on this data, using androids to make them live again was not difficult at all.
"It can be done. Shall I create it now..."
"Don't rush, let me ask for some things first." Chen Tianchuckled.
Since he had come here, how could he just give away good things for free? Saving Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongyingcould be said to be based on Chen Tian's whim, but resurrecting Lady Chang... that was a different story.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be sad. Perhaps one day you will see your departed loved one again." Chen Tian smiled mysteriously, but these words made Crown Prince Zhu Biao tremble all over!!
This... what this meant couldn't be clearer, right??
"Your Highness, Your Highness!!"
"Your Highness, the Emperor is waiting for you in the hall and has asked you to invite the Celestial back!!"
Chapter 78: The Entire Zhu Family Works for Me, the Gnashing-Teethed Woman
At this moment, the emperor's attendant came running to report.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao snapped back to reality. Looking at Chen Tian's mysterious smile, he shook his head and said respectfully, "Sir, please follow me to meet my father."
"Very well."
...
Inside the main hall, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying had already awakened. He picked up the bed with one hand and lifted Er Hu with the other, shocking everyone!!
Even Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who had just entered, was startled.
Holy crap!!
Is this my son??
Since when did I have such an awesome son???
"Alright, Xiongying, your savior is here. Why don't you hurry up and thank him?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying dotingly, but still told him to stop.
Ever since Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying woke up and shattered an imperial physician's teeth with a single punch, he had become completely unstoppable. He grabbed an imperial physician and crushed his thigh, and with Er Hu's blade, he slapped it until it snapped...
Even when blades struck his body, he remained completely unharmed...
Damn!!
Is this even a human? He is practically a god!!
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying put down the bed and Er Hu. The latter massaged his ankle, gritting his teeth in pain...
Damn, what a freak!!
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying knelt before Chen Tianand kowtowed, shouting, "Xiongying thanks the Immortal Benefactor. Thank you, Immortal Benefactor, for saving Xiongying from death and bestowing upon him divine power."
"Good, good, good~"
Chen Tian crouched down to help him up, touching his chubby cheeks. The more he looked, the more he liked him. Kids are just great; they're chubby when they're young, though they are so annoying when they cry...
But in ancient times, it was different; they became sensible at a very young age. After all... in ancient times, people married in their teens. Damn, if this were modern times, wouldn't that be a minimum of three years in prison, up to the death penalty???
"Xiongying, since you have kowtowed to me, how about I grant you an ability?" Chen Tian smiled.
An ability?!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Chen Tian with bated breath.
In their eyes, Chen Tian was an immortal deity! What is the ability of an immortal deity? Naturally, it is divine power!!
"May I ask, Immortal Benefactor, why choose Xiongying?" Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying was puzzled. Ever since he became a super soldier, he could feel Chen Tian's power; it was terrifying and boundless!!
But why choose him??
It wasn't just Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying; the others were also confused. If you said Chen Tian chose him because he was the Imperial Grandson... that was absolutely impossible. Someone with such immense power could roam the world freely and do whatever he wanted.
To put it bluntly, an emperor? He could kill one if he wanted to. Would he care about your mortal throne??
"Because Xiongying is cute, and I am very fond of him. There is no other reason. Besides... whatever I want to do, why would I need a reason?" Chen Tian ruffled Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's hair and laughed.
"Zzz..."
"Whoosh..."
The next moment, before anyone could react, Chen Tianmanifested a Lightning Ability in one hand and a Fire Ability in the other, looking at Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying: "Xiongying, pick one."
"Lightning, or fire?"
This made everyone present so envious...
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was so envious he felt like he was falling apart...
Damn!!!
Why didn't this immortal appear decades ago? If he had appeared decades earlier, I would have been very cute too, alright? With this divine power, would I have needed to fight for so long just to ascend the throne??
However, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying looked at these two powers, swallowed, and finally shook his head: "My father taught me that one should not accept rewards without merit. Immortal Benefactor, you saved Xiongying, and Xiongying has nothing to repay you with. How could I covet such divine power?"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded with a smile.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good!"
Chen Tian laughed: "Then today, you may take me as your master, and I will bestow both of these powers upon you. How about that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were stunned, then ecstatic. Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying taking a master... wouldn't that mean he has an immortal as a teacher??
"I am willing. Disciple greets Master."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying did not hesitate to kneel and perform the ritual of three kowtows and nine prostrations.
The latter nodded with a smile...
This way, the power could be given to Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, and afterward, he could let Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying go to war with the army and kill people...
Hehehehe~
Do you think these can be given away casually?? No, no, no, this world is very pure and lacks so-called morality. Killing foreigners will not be criticized at all, and using divine power to do it will only make everyone worship him.
Unlike Marvel.
Chen Tian didn't consider himself a good person, but he couldn't bring himself to truly slaughter people other than those from Huaxia. Of course, black slaves were different; they were just slaves and didn't count as people.
The Japanese were also different, which is why he let He San treat the the Japanese archipelago as a blood bank and a proficiency farming base.
But it was different in the Hongwu era; one could kill freely as long as they weren't Ming people. Following the Northern Expedition to war and returning to the adoration of thousands was very tiring... so Chen Tian was too lazy to go and had to find someone else to do it.
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying was naturally the best choice.
Here, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying could utilize Chen Tian's Lightning Ability and Fire Ability to sweep through everything, first slaughtering the surroundings of the Ming Dynasty, then attacking overseas and wiping out all the Japanese.
Then, he would treat overseas nations as blood bags to nourish the Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, when the cannons fire, gold is worth ten thousand taels. Whenever the Ming Dynasty lacked anything, they would immediately go to war with others. If they won, they would demand whatever they wanted; if they didn't give it, they would fight until they reached their capital and install someone else.
Afterward, they would develop technology and go beyond Earth...
Two worlds fighting aliens together; it would be abnormal if they didn't reach level ten!!
Of course, it wasn't just Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying; Chen Tian also wanted to develop other subordinates, such as Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di, and have the entire Zhu family work for him. Wouldn't that be wonderful???
"Good, good, good. I, your master, will bestow upon you the power of lightning and the power of fire." Chen Tianlaughed and placed his hands on Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's shoulders...
The next moment, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying felt two powers merging into his body. These powers felt like his own arms, to be used at will. However... the two powers within his body were not very strong. If he used up the power, these two divine powers would take a long time to recover...
"Thank you, Master!!"
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying kowtowed once more, happy.
"Xiongying, you must remember that you need to practice these two powers often, preferably on the battlefield by killing outsiders. With your current body, let alone arrows, even firearms cannot harm you in the slightest."
"Disciple will comply!!"
"Hahahaha, good, good, good. Now that Xiongying has taken an immortal as his master, it is a great fortune for our Zhu family. Immediately order the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a feast! Tonight, I shall drink heartily with the immortal!!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, extremely happy.
His grandson was not only a divine being but also possessed divine power. Damn... who could compete with that??
It's just a pity... I want some too...
Not just him; who among those present didn't want some??
Meanwhile, the woman on the side watched this scene, nearly gnashing her teeth to pieces. Why... why won't this little bitch die!
Why would this so-called immortal save him and give him divine power! Why!!!
Chapter 79: Lady Lü Terrified, Another Species?
This person was Crown Prince Zhu Biao's second wife... oh no, one could only call her a concubine, Lady Lü.
She had originally seen Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongyingabout to die, and her son was about to become the Imperial Grandson! After all... if Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongyingdied, what use was that little brat Zhu Yuntong?
His mother was dead, so she was the one in charge of the Eastern Palace. Dealing with a little brat—wasn't that simple? Therefore, as long as Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying died, her son would be the Imperial Grandson, the third-generation Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
But unfortunately... with the appearance of Chen Tian, this dream was shattered...
Therefore, Lady Lü hated Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, and she hated Chen Tian even more. Why did he have to appear at this exact moment, neither earlier nor later!
Giving someone hope only to then give them despair—that was the most torturous thing of all!
But as Chen Tian cast his gaze down... Lady Lü was so terrified that she immediately suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled gently.
"Heh, Lady Lü... you're quite something."
After Chen Tian finished speaking, he took Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying and left the main hall, and with that sentence, he cast Lady Lü into the abyss!
It was for no other reason than that since an Immortal had said those words, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others would naturally resolve it.
As for Lady Lü and the others who heard this... Lady Lü's face turned deathly pale, while Zhu Yuanzhang, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and Empress Ma looked solemn...
Inside another main hall.
"Xiongying, how does your stepmother treat you?"
Chen Tian ignored everyone else, brought Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying here, sat at the table, and asked.
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying looked at Chen Tian, hesitating to speak. The latter shook his head: "You are my disciple, and you are the third-generation great ruler of the Ming Dynasty; what is there that cannot be said?"
Hearing this, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Master, Lady Lü treats me... like a sworn enemy who killed my father. If not for the love of grandfather, Grandma, and Father, I fear I would have already become something unrecognizable."
"Ever since my mother passed away, she has managed everything in the Eastern Palace, big and small. Father and grandfather have so many affairs to attend to every day and have no time to care about it, therefore..."
As Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying spoke, it appeared that Lady Lü was highly suspect in Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying contracting smallpox, and even the Lü family behind her and the Jiangnan clans were suspect! Why?
Because once Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying died, then Zhu Yunwen would definitely ascend to the throne, and Zhu Yuntong, being just a child, could be easily suppressed.
Furthermore, whose child was Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying? He was the child of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Lady Chang. Lady Chang was the daughter of Chang Yuchun, representing the Huai-Xi generals; even Lan Yu was Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's great-uncle.
It is easy to imagine, if Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongyingascended to the throne, what would happen to the Jiangnan clans? Speaking of this, it involved the civil officials.
Apart from Li Shanchang, most of the Huai-Xi power brokers were military generals, but what about the Jiangnan side? They were all civil officials; these guys dreamed of recreating the style of the Song Dynasty's civil officials...
Therefore, many people online say that Lady Lü cannot escape responsibility for the deaths of Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, and even Empress Ma and Crown Prince Zhu Biao; this is the reason.
"Xiongying, I will now teach you your first lesson: If people do not offend me, I do not offend them; if people offend me... cut the weeds and dig up the roots!"
Chen Tian said this with chilling intent! The entire main hall was filled with killing intent, and that killing intent even transformed into black matter!
"As your master, I do not wish for you to be a brat who kills indiscriminately, but... you must even less be a coward!"
"You can treat others with courtesy, but if someone is about to stand on your head and defecate, you still won't strike? I want you to nip it in the bud before others even have such a thought!"
"Remember, if you cannot solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem!"
Feeling the endless killing intent, cold sweat beaded on Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's face, but his eyes were incomparably firm: "Yes, Master! This disciple will keep it in mind!"
...I do not know how much time passed, but Zhu Yuanzhang came looking for them, followed by Empress Ma and Crown Prince Zhu Biao, along with food brought from the Imperial Kitchen. As for Lady Lü... heh, Crown Prince Zhu Biao would take care of it.
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Tian took out a series of A4 papers and gave them to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Old Zhu, these are the criticisms from future generations hundreds of years later. Although you are an Emperor through the ages, there are quite a lot of criticisms, and because of these criticisms, the Ming Dynasty does not last very long."
"So, I am bringing them out today. If you can resolve them, I will ensure the Ming Dynasty lasts for ten thousand generations. If you cannot resolve them... then I can only give you some high-yield rice seeds to ensure every household among the common people has a surplus."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been somewhat tipsy, immediately sobered up, as did Crown Prince Zhu Biao. The two of them looked at Chen Tian...
"Take them and read them, Old Zhu... the old farmer mentality is not advisable. Dividing the land among your sons to guard this plot of the Ming Dynasty... sooner or later, it will be lost. Rather than that, it would be better to open your heart and mind to encompass all things in the Universe."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart trembled... Old farmer mentality...
After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world, he truly had the old farmer mentality. Look at where he enfeoffed his sons; those who could fight and cause trouble were all thrown to the front lines to defend against foreign enemies, for instance, Zhu Di, who was in Beijing.
The others were all in various places within the Ming territory; he wanted his children and grandchildren to guard this plot of land, but unfortunately... in the end, it was still lost.
"Hum..." Just at this moment! Chen Tian's heart skipped a beat, he frowned, and his eyes turned black... It was the Shadow Legion in Marvel that had run into trouble...
Before leaving, he had left behind the Heavenly Dao and a portion of the Shadow Corps, just so they could have some fun, but it had only been less than three hours and trouble had already started?
"Brother Chen Tian, another species in the ocean has launched an attack on us. They are just like those mermaids; their singing makes many people jump into the sea and get killed, and even sending people out is of no use."
At this moment, in front of a Shadow Soldier, Gu Qingshanspoke up: "If it weren't for those wolf cubs wearing the qiankun group combat mecha, and the combat mecha being controlled by the Heavenly Dao, which is unaffected, even more people would have died!"
"Shadow Legion! Is this how you look after things!" Chen Tian's voice emanated from the body of the Shadow Soldier, and the many Shadow Soldiers around knelt on the ground, bowing their heads...
"Damn it, I told you to watch the house, and this is the result? You even interrupted my vacation. If you don't slaughter this entire species within three hours, you can all go stand on your heads on the ocean for me!"
"Also... bring He San here." In an instant, a Shadow Soldier escaped into the darkness, and shortly after, He Sanappeared in a daze before the central Shadow Soldier...
"He San, do you know about the situation at home?" Upon hearing Chen Tian's words, He San immediately replied: "I know, but the Heavenly Dao said there was no need for me to intervene, so I didn't, and continued killing zombies."
"Are you affected by that singing?" "Not at all, but they are quite strong; they have already reached the level of a Third-generation Zombie..."
"Only Fourth-generation... you, a Second-Generation Zombie, are calling a Third-generation one strong? Stop yapping at me. Go, slaughter them, and drink their blood. It will have great benefits for your bloodline; you might even be able to break through to become a Zombie King..."
Chen Tian chuckled, and the latter also gave a heh heh smile, green pupils appearing, along with fangs.
He San was a Pangu Zombie created from the blood essence of the Zombie King Jiang Chen; he was a Second-Generation Zombie with his own unique abilities. But for the sake of Chen Tian's promotion, he said his abilities were useless. As for his bloodline... it was just to fill his stomach. Therefore, he released his full strength as a Second-Generation Zombie, but wanting to ascend to Zombie King could not be achieved by the blood of ordinary people; it required unique blood, such as... Fate bloodlines or something similar...
But where would one find Fate in Marvel? Therefore, these monster species, whose strength was still at the Third-generation Zombie level, were a huge tonic for He San!
"Alright, I'm on vacation right now, and this crappy matter is interrupting me. Also, keep an eye on the house. If there is any unusual movement, or if anyone bullies our family... do they still think it's decades ago? No matter who it is, slaughter them all!"
Chapter 80: Will Descendants Have Enough to Eat in the Future? Is It the Zhu Family or the Common People?
"Another tribe at the bottom of the sea? Could it be those ugly monsters??"
Chen Tian recalled a movie from his previous life that came out after Black Panther died. A group of people went looking for something, and then some monsters emerged from the sea. Those monsters made some sounds, using sound waves to lure everyone into jumping into the sea...
And this was similar. If it weren't for the brothers wearing the qiankun group combat mecha and Tian Dao remaining unaffected, they would have jumped into the sea too...
"Forget it, forget it. Who cares? They only have the strength of a Third-generation Zombie. He San alone is more than enough to wipe out their entire race, not to mention there are tens of billions of the Shadow Corps??"
That's right!
Tens of billions of the Shadow Corps!!!
Chen Tian's Shadow Corps was boundless, practically numberless. The portion he left behind before departing was more than several hundred times the total population of Earth combined!
You think your Third-generation Zombie strength is impressive? Tens of billions of the Shadow Legion will crush you. Besides...
When necessary, The Patriarch will fire the orbital cannon to initiate a war of annihilation. After all, our family used to be very poor, and we couldn't bear to fire the orbital cannon even when we had it, thinking we should save wherever we could...
It's a common flaw of our family...
But it can be solved without the orbital cannon, right? Don't forget, there are still many qiankun group combat mecha. Who knows how many Tian Dao has produced in batches? Even Chen Tian doesn't know the exact number.
Therefore, this matter only made Elder Gu panic for a moment. But what he was panicking about wasn't these tribes, but Chen Tian!!
After all, Chen Tian had disappeared inexplicably, and even Tian Dao couldn't contact him...
When Chen Tian came back to his senses, everyone was staring at him...
"Uh..."
It seemed that Chen Tian had just used the Shadow Legionto speak, and he hadn't spoken internally...
"Ahem, Immortal... can you contact the Immortal Realm?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in shock.
"What Immortal Realm? It's just six hundred years later. It's just you descendants from six hundred years in the future. Don't worry, I have no interest in your throne. Getting up earlier than a rooster and sleeping later than a dog every day? I couldn't stand that." Chen Tian shrugged.
"Six hundred years later? Truly? Then... what about the Great Ming six hundred years later..."
"The Great Ming perished long ago; it only had a history of less than three hundred years."
"What! My Great Ming only had less than three hundred years of history?? Then, can the descendants in the future afford to eat?"
"Thanks to the hybrid rice researched by the Immortal Yuan, future generations can all afford to eat, and there will be no one starving to death."
"Then what about the future..."
...
Upon learning Chen Tian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao asked questions one by one like curious boys, and Chen Tian answered them patiently.
After the questions were finished, Chen Tian stood up: "Old Zhu... these papers I gave you are summaries of the criticisms of the Great Ming and other dynasties from later generations. You and Crown Prince Zhu Biao should read them more. Anyway, I've pointed out the problems for you; how you solve them is your business. I'm too lazy for that."
"These three tubes of Genetic Serum will keep you free of illness and disaster and turn you into super soldiers. Use them as you please. In a few days, I'll resurrect Chang Yuchun and Lady Chang for you. I'm going to take little Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying out to play."
After saying this, he picked up Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying and left instantly, leaving the three tubes of Genetic Serum on the table...
"Father Emperor... Mr. Tian Chen is truly a god-like man." Crown Prince Zhu Biao sighed.
"Hahahaha, isn't this Heaven blessing the Great Ming?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly.
"You just keep laughing, but how are we supposed to repay this debt of gratitude? He traveled from the future without fear of hardship, not caring for gold, silver, fame, or fortune. He is free-spirited, transcendent, and just like an immortal. We have received such a great favor from him... how can we repay it??"
Empress Ma sighed. He came from over six hundred years in the future, saved her eldest grandson, sorted out all the ills of the Great Ming, and even gave them such divine objects... How can this favor be repaid??
"Hmm... seeing as he is of age, let's ask tomorrow if he is married??" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, truly unable to think of anything else...
You see, he is no different from an immortal, possessing various powers. And looking at his demeanor, he has no interest in officialdom or anything of the sort. Besides offering a daughter for marriage, what else could there be??
"Hmm... that's the only way."
...
"Not bad, this Jinling City, but... it stinks!!" Unaware, Chen Tian walked around Jinling City while holding Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying.
People were coming and going, but... it just reeked!! Oh my! Someone was urinating and defecating in public!! Damn it...
But there was no helping it; this was ancient times. It was different from the future. Even many movies and TV shows didn't show the real Great Ming or ancient times—the roads were hard to walk on, and it was very smelly...
"Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying, after you go back, you must tell Old Zhu to set up public facilities, otherwise it's so smelly..." Chen Tian was speechless and instantly left Jinling City, arriving outside the city.
Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying also silently noted down Chen Tian's words: "Master, what other bad things are there about the Great Ming?"
"The Great Ming? There are plenty. For example, that Eight-legged Essay system for selecting officials that your grandfather implemented. This Eight-legged Essay is absolute garbage. You should be testing on liberal arts, math, chemistry, physics, and history."
Chen Tian patted Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying's head and said: "This Eight-legged Essay is useless. In the future, there is a saying: 'Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you can travel the world without fear.'"
"Six hundred years later, students start from kindergarten, which is for small children, then to primary school from first to sixth grade, then to three years of junior high school for teenagers, and then high school and university..."
"That is collectively called nine-year compulsory education. The Eight-legged Essay has imprisoned all the scholars of the Great Ming within it."
"Also, there is this household registration system, for example, artisan households, military households, and so on. Whatever household registration the previous generation had, the next generation has. But what if some people don't want to learn? For example, your Fourth Uncle—if your Imperial grandfather forced him to study, would he be able to learn it??"
"It would be a miracle if he could. Your Fourth Uncle is a natural-born general; he is not a scholar."
"Additionally, there is the enfeoffment and hereditary system. This thing sucks the blood of the Great Ming. Don't look at how few there are now; wait until those princes have nothing to do and just keep making babies. One family has a few, the second generation has a few, the third generation has a few—that can be said to be normal. Even worse, some just make babies every day, dozens in one family. After a few hundred years, how many Zhu family descendants will there be??"
"So, this thing must be abolished too!!"
"The world belongs to the common people. The Great Ming should share the world with the common people, not with the scholar-officials. It depends on how your Imperial grandfather chooses: continue the Zhu family's dynasty or the Great Ming's common people."
"Master, I definitely choose the Great Ming's common people!!"
"I naturally know that. Let's go, Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongying. It just so happens that there is trouble in the north. I'll take you to adapt to your superpowers and kill more outsiders!!"
...
The two walked away happily, one big and one small holding hands. Every step seemed to cover a thousand miles. If anyone saw them, they would surely say this was the magic of'shrinking the ground into an inch,' but unfortunately... this was not a supernatural power; it was just that their speed was too fast for human eyes to follow.
And what Chen Tian did also let the powerful officials of the Great Ming know that the Jiangnan clans could no longer tolerate it... They had finally managed to push a civil official's daughter to become the Crown Prince's woman, and now, as long as Imperial Grandson Zhu Xiongyingdied, she would be the Crown Princess and future Empress. And yet, this happened?? How could they tolerate it?? Therefore, they were all harboring malicious intentions, waiting for tomorrow's Grand Court Meeting...
