Meng Chao was delighted.
The three basic force execution methods were the first seeds he planted in the modern world after he returned to the past from the apocalypse, and he hoped that they could change the future.
He did not expect that the seeds he planted would sprout so soon and bear fruit.
Meng Chao did not think that it was because of him.
Including Reckless Bull Technique, the three basic force execution methods that had been strengthened were things that countless powerful fighters, warriors, and normal citizens in Dragon City in Meng Chao's previous life had created with their injured bodies, unyielding willpower, and burning blood.
He was just a porter of the future. He flapped the wings of a butterfly and brought the future to the present.
When he thought of this, Meng Chao could not help but smile.
"Uncle Shao, you don't have to give me any medals," he said sincerely to Shao Zhengyang.
He told Shao Zhengyang sincerely, "Regardless of whether it's the three basic force execution methods or the Ultimate Style, I'm not the one who created them. They're the work of countless people. I'm just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors and doing some insignificant improvements.
"Hearing that the blood of nearly one million Red Dragon Army soldiers won't be flowing in vain is the best reward. I don't need any more rewards."
This answer caused Shao Zhengyang to quirk his eyebrows.
The Thunder God, the strongest fighter in the Red Dragon Army, stared deeply at Meng Chao for a while before he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Old Lei, you found the best successor," he said to Lei Zongchao with a myriad of emotions in his heart.
"Meng Chao isn't my successor. We're just companions who share the same ideals on the path of superhumans."
Lei Zongchao smiled faintly as well. He changed the topic and said, "But Meng Chao might be polite, but the military can't give him any less rewards. Even if it's not for the Ultimate Style and the three basic force execution methods, it should be for the machine martial arts."
"Machine martial arts?"
Shao Zhengyang was a little stunned.
Lei Zongchao did not explain. He just twisted his joints and made a few poses with stiff footsteps.
It was a fighting technique Meng Chao had come up with based on the fighting style of the skeleton soldiers from his previous life.
After Lei Zongchao's improvements, the originally clumsy movements were now connected smoothly.
They were also a little elusive and did not act according to common sense.
When an expert attacked, it was easy to tell whether they were real or not.
Even though Lei Zongchao was wearing a bulky protective suit, he did not release any spirit energy.
Shao Zhengyang's eyes lit up when he saw these simple moves.
"This is … a martial art specially developed for those who wear mechanical prosthetics!" He could tell at a glance.
His mind raced, and he instantly realized the great value of machine martial arts. "There are countless experienced veterans in the Red Dragon Army who have survived hundreds of battles, but because of incomplete limbs, they have to retire in dejection. Even if they have mechanical prosthetics to continue fighting, because runic symbol machines and neural connection technology aren't up to standard, there's always a difference between them and natural limbs, and they can't bring out 100% of their fighting strength.
"And this' Mechanical Martial Art 'is practically tailor-made for these disabled veterans. It's a miraculous skill that can allow them to return to their peak!
"Meng Chao, t-you actually created this?"
Shao Zhengyang looked at Meng Chao in disbelief.
Meng Chao's face turned red, and he said, "It's mainly because of Master Lei. I just … occasionally had a spark in my head."
"Meng Chao, if you continue being so humble, you'll look like a hypocrite. I've been thinking about creating a martial art specifically for the wearers of mechanical prosthetics, but I've tried dozens of methods, and all of them ended up in a dead end. But your 'spark' helped me create a hole in the dead end. You can't deny this credit!"
Lei Zongchao grinned. "Old Shao, with this' Mechanical Martial Art ', is it worth it for the Red Dragon Army to reward Meng Chao?"
"It's worth it! Of course it's worth it!"
Shao Zhengyang nodded repeatedly and said, "If we can really spread out the mechanical martial arts, the Red Dragon Army will be able to equip at least three to four mechanical armies made up of disabled veterans. With their fighting experience and the support from their mechanical martial arts and runic symbol prosthetics, they will definitely be the best of the best! With this alone, forget about one medal, even if it's ten medals, it'll still be worth it! "
"Ten medals are too many. Meng Chao can't hang so many medals on his chest. Since we're on the same side, let's be frank!"
Lei Zongchao went straight to the point. "Old Shao, Meng Chao's father is also a retired veteran of the Red Dragon Army. His family's Superstar has always worked well with the Red Dragon Army. When Meng Chao ran into the Red Dragon Army's missions, he would risk his life and never reject them. This time, when they ran into the Wisdom Tree, if Meng Chao hadn't snapped out of his daze in time, the elites of the military, including Railway Cannon Long Feijun, might have died in the depths of the forest.
"The monster civilization is already done for. Next, we have to think about how to deal with the spoils of war. The development of Hidden Fog Desolate Region and the monster camp is a huge pie, and there's no reason for any faction of power to monopolize it. Young people like Meng Chao who have contributed to the war repeatedly and a high-quality company like Superstar should join in, right?"
"Of course. The military has never thought about monopolizing the pie. Superstar is also the Red Dragon Army's strategic partner. If there's a chance, the first thing we consider is Superstar," Shao Zhengyang said with an intense gaze.
Shao Zhengyang said with an intense gaze. "When it comes to the distribution of the spoils of war and the subsequent development of Hidden Fog, the greatest obstacle isn't us, but the nine great mega corporations. Everyone knows just how great their appetites are. No, more accurately speaking, no one knows just how great their appetites are. Even they might not know it themselves.
"But since you're here personally, I believe that the nine great mega corporations will have to make some concessions. The military and Superstar will definitely have plenty of chances to work together happily!"
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he came to a realization.
In truth, Lei Zongchao had dragged his broken body, which was about to burn at any moment, to the depths of Hidden Fog Desolate Region not just to search for the truth behind his former lover Jin Qianxi's death.
More importantly, he wanted to coordinate the relationship between the Red Dragon Army and the mega corporations to ensure that the monster civilization's legacy could be distributed and used effectively in a fair, just, and open manner. He wanted to ensure that Dragon City's civilization could remain united and develop stably after the Monster War.
Indeed, only the legendary Battle God had the right to suppress the restless forces of power in the face of an astronomical amount of cultivation resources and the mysterious power from the ancient era.
"Humans, we can only go through hardships together, but we can't share wealth with each other. Since ancient times, there have been plenty of such lessons. To Dragon City, the monster civilization's legacy is a windfall that fell from the sky, but it might also turn into a hot potato and a source of disaster. I hope that all of us can be rational and wise enough to control our desires and ambitions!"
Lei Zongchao sighed and waved his hand. "Let's go. Old Shao, Old Wu, bring us down to take a look. I heard that you discovered something amazing in the monster civilization's nest?"
Shao Zhengyang and Wu Haibo looked at each other.
One of them was the strongest fighter in the Red Dragon Army who had been through hundreds of battles.
The other was a veteran researcher from the ruins research center. He had once seen all sorts of strange sights in the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower.
However, their faces still revealed a deep sense of confusion, as well as the fear hidden behind the confusion.
"That's right. This isn't just the nest of the monster civilization. The gene factory is just a small part of the entire ruin. We discovered something even more shocking in the depths of the ruin, and there's a high possibility that it points to …"
Wu Haibo paused for a moment and sucked in a deep breath. "It points to the birth of Earth's civilization and the secret behind how we transmigrated here."
After a few days of work, the humans found four tunnels around the monster civilization's nest.
The widest tunnel had a diameter of more than fifty meters, and it could allow Apocalyptic Beasts that were more than one hundred meters long to crawl forward.
The one they took was the narrowest. It had a diameter of more than ten meters, and it looked like a corridor in a giant's palace.
The tunnel that led downward was surrounded by a faint layer of fog all day long. When they walked more than ten meters into the tunnel, they were cut off from the light and sound on the ground. It was as if they had entered a strange and unfathomable foreign land.
Even though there were no lighting facilities in the tunnel, the curved walls around him shone with a gentle light. It was as if there were stalactites smeared with fluorescent materials, allowing Meng Chao to see through the fog and see every detail clearly.
Meng Chao saw that the curved walls were smooth and exquisite. They were definitely not natural cracks.
But the surface was covered in layers of wrinkles. Quite a number of places had bumps that looked like goosebumps. They were like stalactites that secreted crystalline liquid.
Meng Chao extended a finger and rubbed it gently. He was certain that it was not a rock, metal, spirit ore, or monster bone that he was familiar with.
Instead, it was a carbon-based material that was similar to a fossil but had a faint amount of activity.
And when he narrowed his eyes and carefully studied the folds that covered the walls, he noticed that quite a number of the folds were in line with the structure of the spirit energy magnetic field. They were similar to many of the spirit tattoos in the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower, but they were different methods.
The same spirit energy magnetic field could also be created by Earthlings through the spirit meridians in the human body, and it could be turned into an amazing skill that could destroy the world.
"The ruins research center calls the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower in the center of Dragon City Ancient Ruins No. 1, so this is naturally Ancient Ruins No. 2," Wu Haibo introduced the place.
"Based on the large amount of leftovers and information we dug out from the two ruins, we can make a preliminary conclusion that the builders of the two ruins belong to the same civilization. For the time being, we'll call them the ancient civilization.
"The individuals of the ancient civilization are the ancient humans, or in short, the ancients.
"The Crystal Person we discovered in Ancient Ruins No. 1 and predicted that Earthlings would transmigrate to the Other World is an ancient," Wu Haibo said.
