After Ye Chen swallowed a few strands of Life Qi, he immediately felt that this Life Qi contained an overwhelming evil aura. It was like a living prehistoric beast opening its mouth and roaring at him.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been frightened to the point that their meridians were in disorder and they would have become delirious. Fortunately, Ye Chen had killed many people in his life, so he was not too panicked.
He frowned slightly, and with a thought, he blocked his five senses and focused on refining.
However, although he restrained the hostility, when the devouring power broke down this energy, it was like a steel blade being twisted on an iron plate. It was extremely stiff and difficult to break down.
Ye Chen was secretly shocked. He did not expect this prehistoric beast to be so terrifying that even the devouring power could not break it down!
One must know that among the seven types of talents, there were a total of 21000, and the devouring power was the strongest. If even the devouring power could not break it down, then the rest of the energy would be even more inferior.
Was that it?
Ye Chen was unwilling to give up. He clenched his fist and urged all the energy in his body. Like a skeleton's mouth, he absorbed the green life force on the skeleton.
Refine!
Refine!
Ye Chen swallowed the life force on the skeleton into his body, refining and breaking it down crazily!
Not long after, his face suddenly lit up. He found that this strong energy was not impossible to break down, but it was extremely difficult and required more time.
Seeing hope, Ye Chen worked even harder to refine.
Time passed quietly …
Dong — —
In the base city, the bell that represented the early morning rang, and the morning sun rose. The streets and alleys were bustling with activity. Day after day, many people carried bloodstained knives, guns on their waists, and animal fur coats. Facing the cool morning breeze, they went to the glacier and started their excavation work.
In the huge square of the ancient martial arts civilization, the regular army of Guang Ming Light Base City wore uniform platinum armor made of refined iron and carried out morning exercises.
Under the instructor's loud yell, their movements were neat and uniform, and they were all in sync.
People came and went, the sun rose and set …
On the sixth day of Ye Chen's second closed-door training, a group of soldiers wearing pale golden armor came from the north. They stepped on the deep snow and walked to the entrance of the Light Base City ruins. They met the guard, whispered a few words, and were informed of their arrival. From time to time, a general of the Army, wearing exquisite Atlantis armor, came to the door to welcome them.
This team of about 20 people was well-equipped and well-equipped. In addition to armor and cold weapons, they were also equipped with their own firearms, such as small MP-3 cannons, O-9 energy pistols, high light-gathering goggles, space stacked telescopes, and other high-tech items that did not belong to the spiritual civilization.
Under the guidance of the Great General, everyone arrived at the waiting room. There was dancing and dancing to accompany them. Not long after, they were led by Xu Tianguo to the conference hall.
In the spacious hall, there was a long round table filled with fresh fruits and red wine.
Since Ye Chen was not present, Xu Tianguo was seated on the platinum throne. His demeanor was dignified, and his manners were refined. He did not lose the demeanor of a great general.
On his left sat the vice-ministers of commerce, industry, agriculture, and other departments. On his right sat the high-ranking generals of the Army.
In Light Base City, this kind of lineup was considered a mid-level meeting. It was rare.
The leader of the army, with two attendants, sat under the long round table, facing Xu Tianguo.
This person had thick eyebrows, a high nose, wide cheeks, and thin lips. His light blue eyes had a melancholy and awe-inspiring aura. He was very handsome, and he was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was very manly.
Behind him, the two attendants stood with their hands at their sides. They were expressionless, but when they looked at the people in the hall, there was a trace of arrogance and disdain in their eyes.
"Chairman Xu!"
The leader of the army slowly opened his mouth, speaking in broken Chinese. "This humble one is called Togger. I represent the 'Heavenly God Alliance' to send a message to your city. We invite your city to join our 'Heavenly God Alliance'. If you can show your ambition, there will be many benefits!" As he spoke, he reached into his chest and took out a letter. He placed it on the smooth round table and handed it over.
A guard on the side took the letter with both hands and handed it to Xu Tianguo.
Xu Tianguo's expression was calm. No one could tell what he was thinking. He calmly sat on the platinum throne and opened the letter. He carefully read it for a while. The letter said:
"Dear Light Base City,
My name is Sam Hitt and I come from Mexico. I know Light Base City, the largest base city in Asia and China. I sincerely invite you to join our 'Heavenly God Alliance'. We will discuss hegemony and protect the future of human civilization!
If you are willing to join, your position will not change. You will also be given a thousand high level monster corpses, ten thousand high level genetic medicine, and the rights to share the technology of the Cuban, Segal, and Egyptian civilizations!
… …
Xu Tianguo silently read the letter and put it down without any expression. He looked up at Togger and calmly said, "Mister Togger, you have traveled thousands of miles to come to Light Base City. It must have been bumpy and tiring. Please rest here for a few days. I will give you an answer after I discuss it with you."
Togger's eyes flashed, as if he already expected this response. His lips curled and he leaned back a bit, looking at Xu Tianguo as he said in a meaningful voice, "Chairman Xu, you have to think about it. Your Chinese have a saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances'." The meaning behind his words was that he shouldn't be ignorant of the current situation!
One of the generals on the right couldn't help but stand up. He clenched his fist and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He angrily said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten us?"
Togger glanced at him and coldly smiled without saying a word. The two guards behind him held their swords and coldly looked at the general without fear.
Xu Tianguo frowned and shouted, "Guan Chong, back off!
Togger is a distinguished guest. How can you be so rude? "
Everyone present was cautious and cunning. They immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. It implied that one should use the same attitude to different people.
It meant that Guan Chong's attitude was rude because the other party was rude. It was secretly mocking Togger.
The Vice Ministers of the major departments on the left thought that Xu Tianguo had such a childish temperament despite his identity. While feeling happy, they couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Guan Chong was a butcher in a peaceful era. He met Xu Tianguo by chance and made great contributions. He rose up the ranks and was extremely respectful to the latter. Although he didn't understand the details and couldn't calm down, he could only cup his fists and sit down.
He glanced at Guan Chong, then glanced at Xu Tianguo out of the corner of his eyes. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. He slowly stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the fresh fruits on the table from the corner of his eyes. His eyes flashed and he reached out to pick one up. He looked at it as if he was admiring a flower and praised, "It's really rare for such a precious land to grow such fresh fruits. However, just because it's beautiful doesn't mean it's delicious."
As he spoke, he put down the fresh fruit and turned to leave.
Xu Tianguo watched Togger leave before his expression slowly turned gloomy. He pinched his fingers and a beam of energy with the wind attribute flew out and crushed the letter into powder.
"Hmph, a bunch of foreign dogs!" Guan Chong couldn't help but snort after Togger left.
A few generals beside him comforted him and laughed, "What's the point of arguing with him? If a mad dog bites you, will you bite the mad dog too?"
Another person nodded and said, "You're absolutely right. That person has learned a few words of Chinese and called himself 'Bei Ren'. Who knows that 'Bei Ren' is a term used by people who come to the countryside. It means vulgar and simple. I think this person is right. He really does sound like a 'Bei Ren'!"
Guan Chong couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.
The vice-heads of the various departments on the left were more shrewd. They remained calm and collected as they observed Xu Tianguo's expression. If Xu Tianguo formed an alliance, then their positions would be shaken more or less. It was hard to say whether it would be good or bad.
In the end, they could only go with the flow in the political turmoil …
A general suddenly asked, "That blue-eyed dog left. Why did he suddenly praise the fruits? It feels like he's mocking us."
"That's right."
The vice head on the left whispered, "In other words, he's saying that we're good-looking but useless. He's giving us face by asking us to form an alliance. He's implying that he doesn't want Xu Tianguo to delay for too long. He doesn't have the time to wait in a useless place. It's like admiring flowers. In the apocalypse, who would waste their time admiring flowers?"
When the generals heard this, they immediately understood and were infuriated.
In fact, although the vice head wasn't completely right, it was close.
Xu Tianguo knew that everyone was waiting for his reply. He sighed and waved his hand, "I will have to report this matter to the president. Only if he nods his head will we be able to pass. There is no need to panic."
The vice head of agriculture quickly asked, "May I ask where the president is right now?" He saw Xu Tianguo's helpless expression and thought of Ye Chen's elusive appearance.
Xu Tianguo smiled bitterly, "The president is in the base city. But he's in seclusion. If there's nothing important, I don't want to disturb him."
Everyone exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.
Xu Tianguo waved his hand. "Let them wait a few more days. It's not worth disturbing the president over such a trivial matter."
Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense. The president had a noble status, so it was normal for these dogs to wait a little longer.
Xu Tianguo instructed, "In the next few days, inform the Urban Management Department to monitor the movements of those people."
"Yes, sir!"
"Meeting adjourned!"
Everyone walked down the hall with their friends and discussed among themselves.
…
After the meeting, Xu Tianguo immediately notified the people in the Bureau of Intelligence to investigate everything they knew about the Heavengod Alliance. They had to report it to him by noon the next day.
Radiance Base City was very efficient, and in this ice age, transportation was convenient. There were no monsters in the wilderness, so it wasn't long before they had a report on the Heavengod Alliance.
Xu Tianguo stared at it for a while, then his expression turned unsightly.
…
Elsewhere, Ye Chen sat cross-legged in the main hall, silently cultivating.
Above his head, black smoke rose and condensed into a black skull. It was ferocious and terrifying, and it opened its mouth to devour the prehistoric evil beast's skeleton. Countless strands of green life energy floated up from the skeleton and were devoured by the skull, condensing into pure energy that flowed into Ye Chen's body.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Ye Chen's heartbeat grew louder and louder until it was like thunder. It was deafening, and his body swelled. He couldn't help but open his eyes, which flashed with surprise.
Boundless energy was contracting in his body …
