Luo Kai left the Imperial City and walked towards the small mountain where the remains of the beast were kept. After so many days, the remains of the complete beast were most likely taken away by someone else. However, he still had to go and take a look.
The streets of the city were no longer as noisy as they used to be. There were no signs of people, and the occasional passersby seemed to be in a hurry. The invasion of the complete beast yesterday had opened up a chaotic scene.
In the past month or so, the situation outside had changed dramatically. Powerful beasts kept appearing in the coastal areas, and a powerful fleet of the Sea Race was also cruising in the coastal areas. There were signs that they were about to invade the land.
The main defensive areas of the human race were inland, and the coastline was long and narrow. It was impossible to defend. Even the capital of Higashimogami Province was only a hundred miles away from the sea. The Sea Race only needed to break through the gate of Port Xinyi, and they would be able to directly invade the heart of the human territory.
With the sudden change in the situation, the Higashimogami Province temporarily suspended the measures to take back the autonomy of the various feudal lords. They began to mobilize all their forces and resources to build fortifications in the coastal areas.
When he came to a crossroad, Luo Kai felt something and turned his head to the side. There was a small car parked there, and a refreshing feeling came from the car. A young man came out of the car and said, "Brother Luo, please come in."
The young man was Luo Liang from the Luo Family. There was also a thin old man sitting inside the car. The old man's bright eyes were looking at him through the window.
"Brother Luo, please get in the car. My father is looking for you." Luo Liang made an inviting gesture.
Luo Kai hesitated for a moment, then walked over. The reason he was able to survive until now was closely related to the mysterious memory in his mind, and this memory most likely came from the Luo Family's Luo Jian.
According to his previous life's pampered body and cowardly personality, he definitely wouldn't be able to last long in this world. However, it was precisely because of the fusion of the memories in his mind that his willpower had become stronger and his body's endurance had also become stronger. Not only did it involve memories, it even involved things on the level of the soul, which was why the evolution speed was so fast.
Buddhists were particular about the cycle of cause and effect, because if there was a cause, it would leave a mark in the depths of one's heart. If one did not repay the karma, it would definitely affect the growth of one's mind. Simply put, one's conscience would feel uneasy. Logically speaking, it might be a small matter, but the pursuit of life's evolution was all-rounded, not just the body, but also the deeper level of the heart and soul. Only people with an empty heart would be able to more easily comprehend the energy of heaven and earth.
The old man in the car was the current North Vanquishing Prince's third son, Luo Shang. He was also a senior member of the Senate and was in charge of the military strategic command. His aura was completely different from other physical masters, constantly emitting cold air, like a human-shaped air conditioner. This made Luo Kai involuntarily think of the Luo Family's Heaven-level Taiyin Qi-Drawing Technique. There was no doubt that this kind of physical skill cultivated Yin energy.
Higashimogami Province's political system was based on the Senate system, and all major matters had to be approved by the Senate. The thirteen senior members each held important military and political positions. The North Vanquishing Prince's main branch guarded the border all year round, and only he lived in Shangjing to represent the interests of the Luo Family.
The car drove southwest. Luo Shang sat on the side and silently looked at him. His eyes gradually became surprised, and after a long time, he asked, "Marquis Luo, do you remember who your parents are?"
Luo Kai froze for a moment, then realized that he was already a Marquis. He replied, "I don't remember."
Luo Shang nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "Body transformation techniques are complex and varied. My Luo Family's Fearless Body emphasizes the compression of the muscles and bones, like a spring. Once released, the user will become a giant. This kind of physical skill was created by our ancestor, so the descendants can naturally create it as well. You have never admitted that you are a member of the Luo Family, is it because you created this skill yourself?"
Luo Kai shook his head. "For me, it is not a physical skill. It is because of the energy stored in my body that caused it to explode."
Luo Shang frowned and opened his mouth. He wanted to ask more, but in the end, he sighed and said, "Fine. I came to see you personally today, not to investigate whether or not you are a member of the Luo Family, but because I heard that you are close to Su Chengbo of the Three-Eyed Race. I must warn you."
"The Three-Eyed Race?" Luo Kai was confused.
Luo Shang nodded seriously. "The Three-Eyed Race, the Oceanic Race, the Titan Race, and the Abyss Race are all alien races. It is said that they have the blood of the Evil God. They are not true humans, so we must be careful of them."
Luo Kai was shocked. "The blood of the Evil God?"
"Yes. Any human whose body has undergone a certain degree of mutation or atavism are considered normal humans. No matter how much they mutate, they are still on the same level as humans. But these alien races are different. They are far stronger than normal humans, and they have developed their own civilization."
"The Three-Eyed Race is extremely powerful. Although they do not have any military force on the surface, the Skull Association they created has a huge amount of resources and money.
Luo Shang paused, hesitated, and then said in a deep voice, "They have a deep relationship with the Oceanic Race. Although the sea is vast, the Oceanic Race only occupies a small part of the sea. They are extremely lacking in mineral resources. When the human race and the Oceanic Race broke off relations in the early years, the Three-Eyed Race has been doing business with the Oceanic Race. They secretly sent large amounts of resources to the Oceanic Race. Now that the Oceanic Race is showing signs of a large scale invasion, the Three-Eyed Race will most likely be involved.
Luo Kai frowned and did not say a word. In his mind, there was no such thing as a racial distinction. He originally thought that some of the stubborn old aristocrats were trying to exclude outsiders, but now it seemed that there was another reason. Gods belonged to a higher level of power, and their actions were difficult for humans to understand. However, as a superior life form, it was very likely that they treated all living beings as chess pieces, and it was also possible that they treated all living beings as livestock.
Luo Shang looked at him and said gently, "Young man, it has been hundreds of years since anyone from the human race became a saint. I heard that Saint Yunji gave you the Book of the Universe, and the Sound Saint also asked you to stay for more than a month. Obviously, these two saints are training you as a future saint. No matter whether you are a descendant of the Luo family or not, there is no one who can restrict you now. I hope that you will not be blinded by some things. Remember, those who are not of our race will have different intentions!"
Luo Liang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, could not help but turn around. "Father, aren't you exaggerating a bit? I have interacted with the people of the Three-Eyed Race before. They are smart, but there is nothing special about them!"
Luo Shang narrowed his eyes and reprimanded, "What do you know? Once the Three-Eyed Race opens their third eye, they can directly enter the path of physical masters. The number of physical masters in the race is no less than two digits. They do not belong to the Physical Skills Association, and are not subject to management or restrictions. There are also two elders in the Senate who are in charge of the trade and commerce of the Three-Eyed Race. Other than Saint Yunji's Shang Jing University, what other forces in the world can compare to them?"
Luo Liang scratched his head and said, "So what? They don't control the army, and they don't have any saints."
Luo Shang sneered and pointed to the sky. "The Three-Eyed Race has a city in the sky that no outsiders can enter. How would outsiders know if there is a saint or not?"
Luo Kai's expression changed, and he interrupted to ask, "May I ask what this city in the sky is?"
Luo Shang's expression softened. He said, "It is a city that circulates above the Nine Heavens. It is extremely mysterious, and it is said that it came from ancient ruins!"
