2653 A Real Ominous Creature (2 in 1)
Gu Tingnan analyzed, “Although the number of basic cultivators in the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin is quite a lot, their strength is not that great. Otherwise, even if they develop some primitive graveyard battlefields, our City of Wanderers won’t be able to cope with them. In the past 100,000 years, I’ve been secretly investigating the birth rate of their powerhouses. On average, about 5,000 Sea Establishers are born every 100 years. 80% of them won’t appear on the surface. According to the probability of death after various trials, the success rate of Dao Proving is between 30% and 40%. The success rate of going to the place above the ice is between 30% and 40%. The survival rate of Sky Openers is 80%. In the end, I came up with a number. In the past 100,000 years, at least 350,000 Sky Opening Realm powerhouses have gone to the place above the ice.”
“Three hundred and fifty thousand?”
Han Fei couldn’t help but be shocked. Are you kidding me? This was much more than he had expected! According to this estimation, his previous estimation was a complete joke.
Gu Tingnan continued, “Even above the ice, there will be some special training, and some people will die, but there are super strong masters there, so the survival rate will definitely be greatly improved. Therefore, I predict that in the City of Scavengers in the past 100,000 years, at least 280,000 to 320,000 Sky Opening Realm powerhouses are still alive.”
Han Fei asked, “Is your estimation accurate?”
Gu Tingnan said, “I’m not sure, but it should be about the same. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have wasted these 100,000 years for nothing?”
Han Fei frowned. “If there are so many strong masters in a City of Scavengers, what about the City of Origin?”
Gu Tingnan said, “The City of Origin may have more hidden strong masters than the City of Scavengers.”
Han Fei was speechless. “In the 100,000-year Grand Competition of the Divine Capital Dynasty, only 800,000 people at the Sky Opening Realm participated.”
Gu Tingnan said, “But those who can go to the 100,000-year competition are already very powerful among the Sky Opening Realm powerhouses. If all the Sky Opening Realm powerhouses in the entire East Sea Divine Realm go to the Divine Capital Dynasty, the number will increase by more than ten times. So, do you think you can still fight now?”
Han Fei’s heart was heavy. If a million Sky Opening Realm powerhouses appeared at once, even if he had an army of 200,000 puppets, he might not be able to withstand them!
Han Fei suddenly thought of something and asked, “Isn’t it said that one needs at least the strength of the Star Transformation Realm to go to the top of the ice? Then where did the people who haven’t entered the Star Transformation Realm go? These people have to go somewhere, right?”
Gu Tingnan nodded. “Of course. On the ice, on the way to the mysterious place, there is a transit zone. It’s not that cold, and it’s an extremely resourceful place that’s very suitable for cultivation.”
Before Han Fei asked, Gu Tingnan continued, “I once wanted to enter that place to take a look, but outsiders are forbidden from entering it. Once you enter it, it’s impossible for you to return, unless a strong master opens a channel after you reach that mysterious place and sends you back. There is a reason that the Chaotic Wasteland can be listed as a forbidden area in the East Sea Divine Realm. But the power there has never been revealed to the outside world. If you want to sweep through the Chaotic Wasteland, you don’t have to worry about the cultivators who are still in the transit zone, but how many people have reached that mysterious place. I haven’t been able to estimate this number. It might be 100,000, 150,000, but it shouldn’t exceed 200,000. After all, it’s not easy for Sky Openers to enter the Star Transformation Realm. Unfortunately, without an accurate number, everything is unknown.”
Han Fei was slightly relieved. It was good that it was not 300,000 strong masters. Otherwise, this battle would be really difficult to fight. However, even if the other party only came back with 100,000 and 150,000 soldiers, it wouldn’t be easy to fight this battle. This was only the basic military strength and didn’t include the strong masters. Among the hundreds of thousands of Sky Openers, how many had proved Dao? How many were at the Carefree Level? How many were at the Immortal Level? Did the other party have any Great Monarch Realm masters?
But Han Fei was still solemn. “A hundred thousand years ago, the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin were already like this, right?”
Gu Tingnan nodded. “That’s right. However, the Age of Doom was only 130,000 years ago when the City of Scavengers was founded. Therefore, even if they had already sent talents to that place in advance, the number wouldn’t be much. However, it’s hard to say about the City of Origin. The City of Origin is the local power of the Chaotic Wastelands. It was here before the Age of Doom, so it’s impossible to know their true strength.”
Han Fei said, “So, if I attack the City of Scavengers, I can still fight, but I can’t take down the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin at the same time.”
Gu Tingnan said, “If the City of Scavengers is really destroyed, the City of Origin won’t sit by and do nothing. But in the early stages, they will most likely sit by and watch the tigers fight. You have a puppet army, so your combat power might not be inferior to the City of Scavengers. But the problem is that you can’t be sure how many Monarchs there are in the City of Scavengers. Besides, you can’t predict the attitude of the City of Origin after the war starts.”
Click, click, click ~
Han Fei’s fingers gently tapped the ice table, his heart full of complicated thoughts. He had thought that the trouble he caused in the Infinite Mining Area, killing nearly a hundred Perfected Star Transformation Realm powerhouses of the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin, would be enough to hurt these two powers.
But from the looks of it, it might be insignificant to them.
Even the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin might not be taken seriously by the existence above the ice in terms of combat power. The only significance of the existence of these two main cities was to continuously provide manpower.
After all, the strong were all cultivated from the weak and didn’t come for nothing. Therefore, for these two cities, although their combat power was not good, their significance far exceeded that of a hundred Perfected Star Transformation Realm powerhouses.
For a moment, Han Fei felt a chill down his spine. Could it be that he still couldn’t shake the City of Scavengers and the City of Origin after doing so much?
However, since he had returned, he had to take action no matter what. He didn’t have the time to slowly accumulate manpower. Even his Eldest Senior Brother had clearly said that he had to prove Dao in a hundred years. Otherwise, he would have to create an avatar to delay the time.
From the beginning, Han Fei had treated saving the human race as an experience for him, an experience concerning Dao Proving. If he completed this experience independently, it was certain that he would prove Dao. Therefore, in essence, he only wanted to complete this experience with his own means and strength.
Even if the senior brothers and sisters of the Void Temple took action, they had better only help him restrain some existences that he didn’t have the strength to deal with. Otherwise, if the senior brothers and sisters of the Void Temple all went to help him, his trial would become empty talk.
Therefore, if the other party had a Great Monarch, he would ask his senior brothers to help him, because that was completely beyond his ability. It was a favor to him for his senior brothers to help him. And the power borrowed with his strength could be considered a part of his trial.
Han Fei thought for a moment and made a decision. That was, if it was really impossible, he would temporarily abandon his plan to attack the City of Origin.
As for the fact that the City of Origin would take advantage of his action, Han Fei was not afraid. The City of Origin had nothing to do with his Dao Proving. He just wanted to kill An Bailin for Xia Xiaochan.
Since his current strength was limited, he didn’t mind letting him live a little longer. When he found Xia Xiaochan, he would think of a way to attack the City of Origin.
Gu Tingnan looked at Han Fei tapping the table with a contemplative look and thought to himself, Even my analysis of the strength of the Scavengers’ City is like this, but from Han Fei’s expression, it’s obvious that he still wants to fight. This means that Han Fei’s trump card is probably far more than Puppet City.
This made him tempted. If this battle could really be fought, he was really willing to take the risk. After all, saving the human race was also his obsession.
Back then, as the Human King, he had proved Dao without being able to save the human race. In fact, from that moment on, he had a feeling that he was no longer the Human Emperor.
But even if he wasn’t the Human Emperor, so what? He still had to save the human race!
What he was worried about now was whether Han Fei was confident enough. After all, he had built the City of Wanderers painstakingly. This city was the spiritual sustenance of countless people. If he didn’t make this decision right, he might drag the entire City of Wanderers down with him.
Gu Tingnan asked, “You still think you can fight?”
Han Fei was silent for a moment. “Of course I can. I’m not conflicted about whether I can fight or not. Why, you don’t want to fight?”
Gu Tingnan said lightly, “I really want to know where your confidence comes from. What if, I say, there is really a Great Monarch in the City of Scavengers?”
With that, Gu Tingnan looked outside, and Han Fei seemed to understand what he meant. He understood that Gu Tingnan had concerns, and his concerns were the City of Wanderers.
This made Han Fei vigilant again. When people had concerns, they would be overcautious, unlike him, who was alone and fearless.
Han Fei said, “I can fight this battle. It’s just a little beyond my plan.”
After that, Han Fei said, “Do you have anything else to tell me? For example, if we destroy the City of Scavengers and save the human race, the position of Human Emperor will definitely belong to me. You should have known this when you proved your Dao, right?”
In fact, Han Fei couldn’t understand how Gu Tingnan could prove Dao. As the former Human Emperor, he led countless humans to cross the east to the Sea Realm. In the end, only a small portion of these people escaped, but most were enslaved by the City of Scavengers. Under such circumstances, Gu Tingnan could still prove Dao after going to the Sea Realm. Han Fei couldn’t figure it out except that he had abandoned his responsibility as the Human Emperor.
Gu Tingnan said, “I didn’t give up my responsibility completely. At that time, the entire human race had no powerhouse who had proved Dao. As you know, the human race has a large population, easily in the hundreds of millions. You’ve been to the Sea Realm, so you should know that who doesn’t want such a huge population? The reason why the City of Scavengers wants to intercept and enslave the human race is naturally because of the human race’s population and reproduction ability. It’s precisely because the human race has a large population that the City of Scavengers expanded from only eight cities to a hundred cities. These hundred cities are mostly humans. The Ten Thousand Scales Race suppressed the growth of the human race and used the power of the human race to obtain resources just to strengthen themselves. Therefore, even if I have to give up the position of Human Emperor, I have to become stronger. Only by proving Dao can I have the conditions to establish myself in the Sea Realm and have a chance to save the human race.”
Han Fei nodded slightly. He could understand that. Gu Tingnan was known as the Master of Silence, which sounded a bit lonely and frustrated. He led the human race into the Sea Realm, but most of them were enslaved by a foreign race, and only a small portion of the humans escaped. How could a Human Emperor stand this? It was already not bad that he still persisted.
After his travels in the Sea Realm, Gu Tingnan found that he couldn’t contend with these superpowers even if he proved Dao. However, if he didn’t become a Monarch, he might not even be able to protect the remaining humans. Therefore, under such circumstances, he had to prove his Dao at all costs.
He even regarded proving Dao as the first step to save the human race, but this choice was actually a compromise because this would cause the human race to be under long-term suppression.
For example, the human race had been enslaved for 100,000 years, but Gu Tingnan couldn’t do anything even if he built the City of Wanderers here. Even if the City of Scavengers knew Gu Tingnan’s purpose, they didn’t care. They could still enslave the human race.
But Han Fei was different. He regarded saving the human race as the only condition for Dao Proving.
He wouldn’t prove his Dao unless he had saved the human race. His determination and temperament were naturally higher than Gu Tingnan’s.
Han Fei got up and stretched out his hand. Liu Qiansi turned into a stick and returned to Han Fei’s hand. Han Fei said, “Before I attack the City of Scavengers, I have two things to do. It may take me a few years, decades, or even a hundred years. But the next time I come, the plan to save the human race will begin.”
After that, Han Fei paused and said, “I can understand you, but I don’t appreciate you.”
With that, Han Fei walked out of the house without looking back. When he passed by Duan Qingsi, she seemed to be struggling. Han Fei felt that her vitality was escaping. Even her power was expanding. If he guessed right, the next time he saw Duan Qingsi, she would have five Dao Locks.
Swish ~
Watching Han Fei leave, Gu Tingnan didn’t get up but said lightly, “How many people in the world can save the human race to prove his Dao? How much luck do you have?”
…
Liu Qiansi: “How big a war are you going to start? Why does it sound so dangerous?”
Han Fei said, “Whether it’s dangerous or not, you can only follow me.”
Liu Qiansi was speechless, wondering if his legendary life had just begun.
However, Liu Qiansi immediately asked again, “Can you give me a drop of that water too?”
Liu Qiansi was naturally referring to the Spring of Life, but Han Fei simply knocked him on the head. “What kind of dream do you have in broad daylight? I can’t even bear to use it, and you want to use it? Is there something wrong with my head?”
Liu Qiansi: “…”
…
On the other side, in a comprehensive trading market in the City of Wanderers, there was a hubbub of voices, and simple shop plaques were erected everywhere.
Shops were everywhere, selling all kinds of things. There were also some teenagers running around, as well as those fruit spirits that looked like pill furnaces. They shouted along the way, “Do you need Sweet Pills? Sweet Pills for sale.”
Han Fei waved his hand and a “small pill furnace” ran over, saying happily, “My lord, do you want to buy Sweet Pills?”
Han Fei threw out a small bag of energy crystals and said, “Give me a hundred.”
The little pill furnace was stunned for a moment and then was overjoyed. “Okay, Master, please wait a moment.”
Seeing this scene, many people thought that someone had come to do charity again. Soon, Han Fei had three packs of Sweet Pills hanging on his waist, two spiritual fruits on his left hand, and a drink in his right hand.
“Gulp~”
Han Fei strolled in the market, but no one continued to sell things to Han Fei. These people were actually very considerate. They knew that Han Fei came here to buy so many things to take care of their business, but they couldn’t take advantage of this mentality to consume Han Fei’s love.
Outside a shop along the street in this market, a group of people were queuing up with number plates.
On the plaque of the shop, the words “Prophecy House” were hanging.
Han Fei listened and heard a voice in the house. “Your luck is in the north today. Something good will happen to you when you meet metal. You must be fast. After today, you won’t have this luck.”
“Huh? Thank you, Master. Thank you…”
The man couldn’t hide the smile on his face and went out happily. Seeing this, the people outside couldn’t help but say, “It seems that this guy is lucky today? Otherwise, why is he smiling like a flower?”
Someone said, “Old Feng, what made you so happy?”
The guy called Old Feng chuckled. “How can I tell you? Go, go, line up.”
But at this moment, a lazy female voice appeared in the Prophecy House. “Alright, that’s all for today! I’m tired.”
“Oh, but we’ve queued here for a long time!”
Someone frowned, feeling that this master was too casual.
But someone immediately shouted, “Hey, the master is tired. She needs rest! Let’s go and come again tomorrow.”
After the uproar, the people in the line weren’t annoyed. Instead, they wandered off to shop in twos and threes.
At this moment, a voice said in Han Fei’s ear, “It’s not polite to eavesdrop.”
Han Fei shrugged. “Did I eavesdrop? You didn’t even try to hide it. How can you blame me for hearing what you said?”
Creak!
The door of the Prophecy House opened, and Han Fei walked in openly. When Han Fei entered, people were discussing, Who is this? Didn’t the master say that it was closed today? Why did she open a back door for this guy?
Unfortunately, they didn’t dare to question her, so they could only keep their curiosity to themselves.
In the Prophecy Room, Mo Qi was lying on a rocking chair, her two long legs knocking on an unknown skull. She was wearing a strange glasses-like thing and playing with a jade-like bone in her hand.
Seeing Han Fei come in, Mo Qi threw the bone to Han Fei and said, “Take a look at this thing. What is it used to be? There are traces of the aura of a Great Monarch on this bone, so it’s rather troublesome to trace it back.”
Han Fei took the bone and stuffed it into the eye of a skeleton nearby, saying casually, “Do I look idle?”
Mo Qi grinned. “Isn’t that so? You came here to do charity. With a Sweet Pill in your mouth and a drink in your hand, you look like you came here to shop.”
Han Fei shrugged, took out a Sweet Pill, and stuffed it into his mouth. He said casually, “Look, I came back so soon. it’s been only less than a hundred years although the deadline we agreed on last time was a thousand years later. So, when are we leaving?”
Mo Qi looked Han Fei up and down. “How many Dao Locks do you have now?”
Han Fei said, “Take a guess.”
Mo Qi said, “Strange, I can’t tell. But are you sure you want to go now? It’s still early.”
Han Fei said, “Time waits for no man. I have a lot of things to do. Since this agreement with you has already been made, let’s end it quickly. When it’s over here, I still have something to do.”
“Oh?”
Mo Qi asked, “Do you have the capital to contend with the City of Scavengers? Although you’re doing well in the Infinite Mining Area and have obtained the inheritance of a Great Monarch, I think your understanding of the City of Scavengers should still be a little lacking.”
Han Fei asked, “How do you know that?”
Mo Qi said, “Of course! You killed many Monarchs in a row. Some Carefree Realm powerhouses even died in your hands. I’m really curious. How did you kill a Carefree Realm powerhouse? I’m really curious…”
Han Fei said, “Hehe, it seems that your Time Temple has a lot of spies.”
Mo Qi said aggrievedly, “This has nothing to do with our Time Temple. It’s simple if I want to know. The Infinite Mining Area has suddenly become so chaotic. I don’t even need to consider others. It must be you. Only you, a direct disciple of the Void Temple, can cause such a huge uproar. There’s no need for any information. Anyone in the Infinite Mining Area can tell me this information.”
Han Fei didn’t deny it. These things might be able to be hidden from others, but definitely not from Mo Qi.
Han Fei didn’t waste time talking to Mo Qi. Instead, he said, “If you have the time to talk to me, why don’t you tell me about the palace? Since you’ve already investigated it, you should have entered it and proved Dao. What made you unable to prove Dao even now?”
Mo Qi said, “You take Dao Proving too lightly. If it’s so easy, why did you spend so much effort to personally destroy the City of Scavengers? My path isn’t as difficult as you think, but it’s not that simple. To be honest, that palace is a palace left behind by our Time Temple. In addition to exploring the significance of this palace’s existence, I also have to kill a real ominous creature suppressed inside.”
“A real ominous creature?”
Han Fei’s heart trembled. What was the meaning of the Three Temple’s existence? It was to resist the ominous. The so-called ominous creatures in the Chaotic Wasteland were all polluted by the ominous power. They couldn’t be considered real ominous creatures.
Therefore, when Mo Qi mentioned the real ominous creatures, Han Fei was immediately curious. He wanted to see what the so-called ominous creatures were like.
Han Fei immediately asked, “Have you seen it?”
Mo Qi said, “No, but I’ve once fought it remotely with the Great Dao of Time. I was surprised to discover that all my strength seemed to have been seen through by it. I couldn’t shake it at all. There were even several times when I suffered the backlash of time and had to recuperate.”
Han Fei said, “If that’s the case, you could’ve cooperated with the Ten Thousand Scale Race. Why did you wait for me to appear?”
Mo Qi said, “Do you think I didn’t? But people who haven’t walked the Great Dao of Time can’t enter that palace at all.”
Han Fei asked, “Well… do you mean that you can’t beat the danger inside?”
Mo Qi said, “Not exactly. It’s just that I have to consume too much energy if I need to break through the various time barriers. Furthermore, that ominous creature seems to be very proficient in the Great Dao of Time, so I suffered a disadvantage.”
Han Fei asked, “Then do you think my half-baked Great Dao of Time will work?”
Mo Qi said, “You’re a disciple of the Void Temple! I don’t believe we can’t kill it.”
Han Fei: “…”
