The sky was getting dark, and the red sun was setting. Stars covered the sky. Luo Kai raised his head. The resplendent Milky Way was so beautiful that it made people yearn for it. His heart once again had the impulse to rush out of the clouds and embrace the billions of stars.
The sea in front of him began to rise and fall with this thought, competing with the frequency of affectionately urging him to stay.
He sighed softly, and the starlight in his eyes faded. He had an epiphany. If the Earth was compared to Mother Earth, then all living things were the seeds nurtured by Mother Earth. They also needed to grow and spread. In the past, he could not break away from the protection of Mother Earth, but now he began to have the ability to explore the endless universe.
"You … are you Uncle?"
A clear voice behind him interrupted Luo Kai's thoughts. He gently turned his head and saw a beautiful girl standing on the deck of the harbor. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her small face was delicate, and her hair was jet-black. There was a faint slit on her snow-white forehead, and traces of silver light could be seen.
The girl was Su Chengbo's youngest daughter, Su Hsiao-mei. He had not seen her for more than half a year, and she had become even more beautiful and sweet. Luo Kai smiled and said, "Miss Su, long time no see."
"Uncle, it's really you!" Su Hsiao-mei was very excited. She hurriedly waved behind her and said, "Little Xue, come quickly."
Another girl walked out from the harbor. It was the girl called Little Xue. She was wearing a snow-white silk dress. Her figure was delicate, and she looked a little delicate. When she saw Luo Kai, she was very excited. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She could only smile gently.
The two girls walked up to him. Su Hsiao-mei was a little emotional, but she did not know what to say. In the past half a year, she and Little Xue had studied the Eight Trigrams of China's ancient Yi Xue at Beijing University. They had preliminarily researched a kind of programmed intelligent calculation system.
This kind of intelligent calculation method could greatly make up for the lack of manpower by collecting data and summarizing them like rivers flowing into the sea. Although it could only be used to collect and analyze data on physical techniques, it was very likely that it would cover all kinds of subjects in the future. All of this was thanks to Luo Kai's advice.
Little Snow blankly stared at Luo Kai, motionless. His originally gentle smile suddenly changed and his breathing became more and more rapid. His face gradually turned red and then black. Dark red blood seeped out from his eyes. Following that, blood also began to seep out from his nose and mouth. His entire body began to twitch.
Luo Kai was surprised. He went forward to help her up and asked, "Xiao Xue, what's wrong?"
Su Hsiao-mei's expression changed greatly. She didn't have time to reminisce about the past and said anxiously, "Oh no, Xiaoxue is sick again."
Little Snow struggled to get up from Luo Kai's embrace. She was so anxious that she wanted to say something but couldn't. She hurriedly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and began to draw. Very soon, a tragic scene was outlined on the paper.
An imposing giant stood on the sea. Surrounding him were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Countless shattered battleships, broken vicious beast corpses, and ruined human cities.
Little Snow had drawn the key point, but the pen in her hand didn't produce any images. She threw away the pen and dipped her finger in her own blood to continue drawing. A whirlpool-like fog appeared in the air, and a three-headed, six-armed monster gradually appeared in the fog …
The eyes of the monster's other two heads were tightly shut. Only one head had its eyes open. That gloomy and dark gaze seemed to cross the barrier of time and space, directly penetrating their hearts.
A haze appeared in Luo Kai's heart. This was a scene that Little Snow had drawn from her premonition of the future. The man in the picture was undoubtedly him in his giant form, and the three-headed, six-armed monster should be an evil god.
Little Snow's face was deathly pale. She changed to another piece of paper and trembled as she wrote, "Brother Luo, you will die tomorrow."
Su Hsiao-mei had been in contact with Little Snow for a long time. She deeply understood how powerful her premonition was. Moreover, she was also more sensitive to danger. She hurriedly said to Luo Kai, "Uncle, let's go back to Shang Jing tonight."
Luo Kai frowned but didn't say anything. His temperament had always been influenced by external energy. After reaching a resonance with plants, his attitude towards life and death had become somewhat similar to plants. Death wasn't necessarily the end, it was just re-entering the cycle of heaven and earth.
With his current realm, he wouldn't be easily affected by negative emotions like fear. Even if he felt a sense of danger in his heart, it would stimulate his will to resist. Only a life and death battle was the only shortcut to evolution.
Little Snow worriedly shook her head and continued to write, "No, even if Brother Luo leaves, he won't be able to escape death. This time, there is only one scene. There are no variables!"
… …
A meeting was currently being held in the military port's combat research room. The atmosphere was somewhat tense and oppressive. In the past month, the military had several small skirmishes with the Seafolk's fleet, and all of them had ended in a crushing defeat. The two sides were like natives facing off against modern equipment. There was simply no way to resist.
The representatives of various large powers were gathered in the meeting room. The imperial family had sent Great Emperor Dong Yuan's elder brother, a middle-aged man with a fiery red face. His name was Count Qiankang, and his aura was scorching hot. He was a powerful fire attribute physical master.
The Physical Technique Association had sent a vice president named Zhang Yi, who was proficient in mecha techniques.
The Elementalist Association had sent a beautiful middle-aged woman. Her face was beautiful, and her skin was white and translucent. Her body faintly emitted a cool aura, dispelling the heat in the meeting room. It was said that women were made of water, and she was a clear example of this.
Other than these three people, there were also the people in charge of the three major military forces. They were all holding a bird 's-eye view of a huge warship. It was like a small island, filled with all kinds of dark grey fighter jets and cylindrical rocket launchers. Everyone's expression was very serious. This huge warship was the Seafolk's mothership. It was a true mobile fortress on the sea. Just looking at the picture made one's heart tremble in fear.
At the head of the meeting room, Luo Shang introduced, "The Seafolk's mothership was modified from the body of a complete deep-sea beast. Its defense is unparalleled. If we want to sink it, we will need to use a large number of powerful bombs. Its movement speed is slow, so the chances of sinking it are very high. Although the Seafolk's technology is more advanced, it is still just a fleet. Our battle strategy is to control quality with quantity. The military headquarters plans to have the air force carry out a saturation attack, and the navy will be responsible for blocking and restraining the enemy.
The navy will defend against the counterattack. "A square-faced officer hesitated and said," Minister Luo, although the Seafolk's fleet has blocked our coastline, there are no signs of them coming ashore. Is it good for us to make the first move? "
The military system of Higashimogami Province was very complicated. Almost all of the military forces were controlled by some big nobles. The strategic command center located in Shang Jing City was the highest military decision-making department in name, but in reality, its role was only to coordinate and plan. The navy was mainly led by the coastal combat fleet led by the Xi family of the East Sea. The air force was the royal family's personal guard of the Qian family. The army was mixed with the local forces that came from all over the country. The officer who spoke was the representative of the Southwest Administrative Province.
Luo Shang frowned and said coldly, "The key to war is to gain the initiative by striking first. This battle plan has already been approved by the Council of Elders, and His Majesty has also agreed. There is no need to say anything more."
Then, his voice softened, "It is said that the Seafolk's great elementalists have the ability to summon wind and rain. They can even cause huge tsunamis. I don't know if the battle will reach that stage, but we have to prepare for the worst. The Elementalist Association has sent ten water elementalists as support this time. Some of them will be on the warship dealing with the attacks of the Seafolk's elementalists, while the others will be at the port to help defend.
