Chapter 092: The Heavenly Order
Chen Xiao nodded slightly. “My idea is quite simple. Using the power of the entire country to drive out those foreign supernatural forces should not be a problem, right? And besides, are we really afraid that foreign forces might unite?”
Now that Chen Xiao’s soul had merged with the Supreme Deity, his thinking had become even sharper. He would recall China’s forces abroad and drive out foreign forces within China, catching them off guard with lightning-fast action.
Moreover, with the various forces in the supernatural world checking each other’s power, they likely wouldn’t dare to attack China easily. Besides, since China’s forces abroad had already withdrawn, it would be hard for other countries’ supernatural forces to object if China drove them out as well.
As for doubts—only the Vampires and Dark Vampires, along with some high-ranking figures in China’s supernatural world, knew about the discovery of that treasure. The Vampires and Dark Vampires, competing for the sacred relics left by the Vampire Progenitor, naturally wouldn’t want to make it public, let alone China.
In the world of supernatural beings, conflicts over interests often arise—who would pay attention to a mere mortal world?
“Hehe, young man, you’re quite clever,” the Great Immortal said cheerfully, looking at Chen Xiao. “As for that Blood Dragon, I don’t know how you managed to kill him, but his death is surely related to you. Now that the Soul of China has done this, will we have to take the blame?”
“I’m already a member of the Soul of China,” Chen Xiao shrugged.
Hearing this, Yuye Xiaochen and the Great Immortal were both speechless.
“Old Madman, this kid is right,” came a voice from another thatched cottage. “Weren’t you always complaining about those barbarian forces living in China? This is a good chance to drive them away.”
“Shut up, you old cripple!” The Great Immortal became annoyed at being called Old Madman. He jumped up from his recliner and started cursing at that cottage.
“You old cripple know nothing! If I could drive them away, I would have done it long ago,” the Great Immortal grumbled.
“Hmph, you’re lazy, fine. I won’t argue with you,” came a reply from the cottage, after which there was silence.
Chen Xiao was speechless. In front of him was a Great Immortal, and in another cottage, a Supreme God—these people were truly extraordinary.
“Alright, enough of this. Anyway, I can’t stand those blond brats’ forces either. Let’s just get rid of them,” the Great Immortal muttered, seemingly agitated by the Supreme God’s words, but his tone suggested he took it lightly.
“Chen Xiao, you’re oversimplifying things,” Yuye Xiaochen whispered beside him. “China’s supernatural forces are extremely powerful—so powerful that no single country or force can confront them alone. But the pressure from the mortal world is something even supernatural beings can’t handle.”
“Pressure from the secular world?” Chen Xiao thought for a moment and understood. In this world, although military force was indispensable, it couldn’t solve all problems. Unless the supernatural forces of Huaxia were powerful enough to dominate the globe, the pressure from the Huaxia government would remain significant.
There was also another type of weapon in this world: nuclear weapons.
Chen Xiao nodded.
“Actually, there’s no need for you to say anything. The Soul of Huaxia and the Huaxia Supernaturalists Association already know what to do,” said Yuye Xiaochen. “When treasures are unearthed…”
“Since it happens on Huaxia’s soil, we can’t let outsiders take them away, right?” Chen Xiao said quietly, though his mind was racing.
“We definitely can’t keep all those treasures for ourselves. Take the sacred objects of the vampires, for example—no matter which faction gets them, the vampires will surely fight desperately to reclaim them.” At this point, the Great Immortal said, “All we can do is keep the conflict away from ordinary people.”
By then, the Great Immortal’s face no longer showed any traces of amusement.
…
In fact, Chen Xiao didn’t know exactly how to proceed. Everything was left to those in higher positions. In their eyes, Chen Xiao was just a minor figure with no influence.
But Chen Xiao was silently enduring. Not only had he reached an agreement with the vampires, but he was also extremely eager for those treasures. Although the Main God’s realm was full of treasures, how many could he actually use?
The value of a treasure lay not in its rarity but in its usefulness.
“Many supernaturalists will die in the struggle for those treasures, right? Reviving Xuanwu will also require a lot of life essence.”
Chen Xiao clenched his fists tightly. As his strength grew, he had an increasingly strong sense that obtaining the Main God’s title might give him the chance to become a main god, but it would also bring many troubles in the future.
Although Shui Miao hadn’t said anything, Chen Xiao understood that the death of the Main God Kraneras involved many matters beyond his current ability to imagine or participate in. Once his strength reached a certain level, troubles, even disasters, would likely follow.
For now, Chen Xiao was merely making small, insignificant efforts for his own future.
After leaving the Sunny Land, Chen Xiao touched the ancient token in his hand. It was deep green in color, with the simple seal character for “Heaven” on it.
This token represented Chen Xiao’s true status within the Soul of Huaxia—granting him rights and even allowing unrestricted access to various confidential reading rooms in Huaxia.
It was a symbol of being a member of the Soul of Huaxia’s Heavenly Group, and it was also the main reason why Chen Xiao, at the Great Immortal level, was called to that Sunny Land. Of course, Chen Xiao wasn’t a true member of the Heavenly Group yet; he had only obtained some of their privileges. In Yuye Xiaochen’s words, he wasn’t qualified to join the group yet.
But Chen Xiao could certainly tell from Yuye Xiaochen’s sour tone. In fact, there were two reasons why Chen Xiao obtained this token. The first was his current strength—a supernatural being who had only just awakened was able to defeat a fifth-tier ancient martial artist, which was the main reason the Heavenly Group wanted to recruit him. The second, and most important reason, was that Chen Xiao did not belong to any faction. Under Yuye Xiaochen’s gaze that seemed to sprout flames, Chen Xiao put the token into his bosom. Of course, in the next moment, the token had already entered the Main God’s Space. Yuye Xiaochen had his own faction behind him, so he couldn’t obtain such a token either. It seemed his authority was now somewhat inferior to Chen Xiao’s. “Team leader, I’d like to go to that library from last time,” Chen Xiao said to Yuye Xiaochen with a smile. “Okay,” Yuye Xiaochen replied with a dark expression. Even he couldn’t freely access such confidential libraries, yet now Chen Xiao had such rights. He couldn’t help but feel jealous. Of course, after all, Chen Xiao was a member of the Mysterious Group, and his access to such rights was also extremely beneficial to the group. …
