The human realm was the center of the era.
As the human realm merged with many other worlds, the laws of the world kept changing. The upper limit of the power of the human realm also kept increasing.
About three thousand years ago, the human realm could already accommodate the power of rank thirteen. Even today, the limit of the human realm was still rank thirteen.
The human race had witnessed the entire process of the laws of the human realm changing. Due to various reasons, the human race had never stopped. In terms of understanding the laws of the human realm, the human race could be said to be the strongest.
Whether it was in spells or martial arts, the human race represented the highest level of the human realm. This was also the biggest advantage of the natives of the human realm. No matter how talented the other races were, they couldn't compare to the human race in this aspect.
Especially in the last three thousand years, the human race's spells and martial arts had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching a very high level. They had a very deep understanding of the power of rank thirteen.
It was also because of this understanding that the rank thirteen powerhouses lost their mystery.
In terms of spells, they had even researched many ways to restrain the power of rank thirteen.
The simplest were of course formations, magic tools, as well as the coordination of time and place.
The higher ups of the human army had made many plans for the known top powerhouses.
Even an ordinary soldier knew how to fight against a rank thirteen powerhouse. Generally speaking, a fully armed and well-trained military fortress of three hundred thousand people could fight against a rank thirteen powerhouse.
This result was also repeatedly calculated by the spirit brain, as well as personally tested and verified by several rank thirteen powerhouses.
It was because the modern army had such great power that the human race could stand firmly in the human realm. They had gone through many battles and stood firm.
In the last thousand years, the modern army had become even more powerful.
As the commander of the army, Zheng Wangjun's judgment of Gao Zhengyang's power was based on his understanding of the power of rank thirteen.
Zheng Wangjun had never seen a rank thirteen body refinement before, but based on Gao Zhengyang's past achievements, he tried to overestimate Gao Zhengyang's power, temporarily estimating that Gao Zhengyang was ten times stronger than him in terms of absolute power.
In reality, under the restrictions of the human realm, no power could reach this value.
With the great formation and the power of tens of millions of soldiers in Soaring Cloud Mountain, no matter how strong Gao Zhengyang was, they could completely suppress him.
Zheng Wangjun wasn't looking down on Gao Zhengyang, but he was more confident in modern spells.
The last time Gao Zhengyang appeared in the human world was a thousand years ago.
A thousand years had passed, and generations of wise and capable people of the human race had been constantly innovating on magical techniques. He had developed magic to an extremely high level.
It should be noted that such a huge and advanced modern magic system was the crystallization of the wisdom of billions of people. It was also completely in line with the situation in the human world.
No matter how strong Gao Zhengyang was, he was only at the thirteenth step. He roamed about the heavens and ten thousand worlds, so he might have obtained many benefits, hiding a lot of power.
However, Zheng Wangjun did not believe that Gao Zhengyang alone could surpass the efforts of billions of human beings over a thousand years. This was obviously impossible.
At Level 13, Zheng Wangjun realized that there were still many limitations to this level.
Rank 13's true strength lay in their comprehension of the laws, their greater strength, and their faster reactions. In terms of pure intelligence, it was only their calculation ability that was stronger.
In terms of intelligence, he did not have an obvious advantage over a Level Ten powerhouse.
Because of the military's strength, the Supreme Security Council could firmly control the order of the human race and hold the highest power.
The structure of the modern military also prevented the privatization of the military to the greatest extent.
For this reason, Zheng Wangjun thought of ways to create a mercenary system. It was also through this system that he recruited many private armies.
Then, he used various methods to reorganize these private armies. His current personal guards were almost all reorganized from mercenaries.
These people might not be more loyal than official soldiers, but they recognized Zheng Wangjun more. They even dared to defy the Supreme Security Council.
Zheng Wangjun realized the importance of the military, so he had been using various methods to earn money. All the money he earned was used to train his private army.
The Supreme Security Council was not ignorant of this. However, Liu Qifeng and Hai Wuji were very supportive of Zheng Wangjun. On the other hand, the situation at the northern border was critical.
Although Zheng Wangjun had crossed the line, he was still a Level 13 powerhouse and an important general in the military. As long as he did not go too far, the Supreme Security Council could still tolerate it.
Zheng Wangjun also thought that he would be fine, but he did not expect Gao Zhengyang to personally come to find him. Moreover, judging from Gao Zhengyang's attitude, he was in trouble this time.
If he surrendered, he might still have a way to live.
But as a Level 13 powerhouse, Zheng Wangjun did not like to be interrogated passively. He would rather fight to the death.
If it was in Radiant City, attacking Gao Zhengyang was undoubtedly courting death. But in Gao Zhengyang's Ling Yun Mountain, Zheng Wangjun was confident that he could take down Gao Zhengyang.
If he killed Gao Zhengyang, he could at least go to the Demon Race as a proof of allegiance.
Zheng Wangjun had always been in contact with the higher-ups of the Demon Race. Of course, this kind of contact did not have much substance. They only communicated occasionally, and the most important thing was that both sides had always been smuggling.
From the northern border of the Human Race to the western border, it crossed the entire Human Race territory. But for the transportation formation, crossing this kind of distance was not a problem.
Zheng Wangjun set up a secret transportation formation, directly connected to the Demon Race territory, and established a smooth and secret smuggling channel.
In these hundreds of years, Zheng Wangjun had earned a huge amount of wealth through smuggling arms. Of course, the cost of raising a private army was also abnormally large. In order to maintain the scale of the private army, Zheng Wangjun did not have much extra money on hand.
Zheng Wangjun was very clear that colluding with the Demon Race was not a big problem. But smuggling arms was a big taboo. He would also sell some weapon designs and so on.
These were all the highest military secrets of the Human Race. If everything was really exposed, he would definitely not be able to live.
It was also this kind of fear that made Zheng Wangjun decide to go all out.
Gao Zhengyang's arrogance gave him an opportunity.
Yan Jun could not guess Zheng Wangjun's specific thoughts, but he knew Zheng Wangjun very well. Just by looking at the other party, he knew that the situation was not right.
But Gao Zhengyang insisted on entering the Ling Yun Mountain camp, so Yan Jun could not turn around and leave. He quietly reminded Ao Zhen, but she did not care. This made his scalp tingle.
He thought to himself, "Damn it, Lingyun Mountain might be the place where I die!"
He was a little regretful now. He should not have been so greedy, and he should not have been so proactive in wanting to kill Zheng Wangjun. Now he might very well have to put his life on the line.
A Level 13 powerhouse's mind was restrained and formed a world of its own. Although Gao Zhengyang was a Level 14 powerhouse, it was difficult for him to directly spy on a Level 13 powerhouse.
But he did not need to spy to be able to feel Yan Jun's overflowing grievance.
As for Zheng Wangjun, his expression was normal, and no changes in his aura could be sensed.
From this point, Zheng Wangjun was obviously much more shrewd than Yan Jun. No wonder Yan Jun was not doing well. He looked like a cultured scum, but the way he did things was a little stingy.
At least, from a Level 13 powerhouse, he was too stingy.
Zheng Wangjun was slapped in public, and he lost all his face. But he could still remain calm, as if what happened just now did not happen. This was really a skill.
Gao Zhengyang did not care much about Zheng Wangjun and the others. Life forms of this level were as weak as the flame of a candle in his eyes. They would be extinguished if he blew hard. They were not worth caring about.
The Ling Yun Mountain camp, on the other hand, was indeed well-built.
Entering the Ling Yun Mountain, one could see a huge open space at first glance.
This space was dozens of square kilometers, and there were various types of warships parked on it. At the huge entrance, there were constantly flying ships coming in and out.
The mechanical platform at the entrance had these flying ships parked in different categories. The entire base was in an orderly state. It was also unusually clean, tidy, and bright.
All the working soldiers wore special goggles and were dressed neatly. No one used words to communicate, and they all communicated through the spiritual brain and the Internet.
Only when the flying ships landed and flew would there be the low and powerful roar of the engine burning vitality. However, there were obviously various soundproofing materials and noise-canceling arrays around it, which reduced the loud roar of the engine to the minimum.
The entire base even seemed to be a little quiet.
Gao Zhengyang watched for a while and had to say. This kind of modern advanced technology filled the entire flying ship base with order and the beauty of technology.
He was also a little emotional. Everything in front of him was exactly the idea he had for the modern human army.
From an ancient army that was close to a feudal system to a modern military model, it took the human race five to six thousand years.
Although the overall idea of the army was proposed by him, it was the unremitting efforts of generations of humans to turn the idea into reality.
When Gao Zhengyang thought of this, he could not help but sigh at the vicissitudes of human life.
It was also at this time that he realized that he had been in the human world for seven to eight thousand years. Including the time in other worlds, he had lived for more than ten thousand years.
For humans, this was such a long life.
Looking back now, these ten thousand years seemed like a snap of the fingers.
Gao Zhengyang held the railing with his hands, his eyes deep and distant. Zheng Wangjun introduced a few words at the side, and realized that the situation was not right, so he obediently shut his mouth.
At this time, Gao Zhengyang obviously did not need to listen to others.
Ao Zhen walked to Gao Zhengyang's side, gently held his hand, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just seeing the world changing with each passing day, I suddenly felt a little emotional."
Gao Zhengyang said, "Coming to this point, looking back, it has been ten thousand years."
He then sighed to Ao Zhen, "Speaking of which, our love also spanned ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years is not long. From what I see, you are only a seventeen-year-old boy. "
Ao Zhen was a high-level dragon, and to the dragon race, it took ten thousand years for them to reach adulthood. There was nothing to be emotional about.
"Hahahaha …"
Gao Zhengyang laughed, and he held Ao Zhen's hand tightly, "What you said is right, I like it."
Ao Zhen could not help but laugh, and she said in a low voice, "I said you are seventeen because you will never mature."
"A teenager is more daring and capable."
Gao Zhengyang said proudly, "I am willing to be a teenager forever."
Ao Zhen pulled her hand out in annoyance, "Stop talking and walk down. Pay attention to your identity. "
"Your thoughts are tainted."
Gao Zhengyang teased, and grabbed Ao Zhen's hand. He said to Zheng Wangjun, "Come, let's go somewhere else."
Zheng Wangjun looked straight ahead, and with a standard smile on his face, he led the way.
Yan Jun, who was following behind Gao Zhengyang, was a little embarrassed. Gao Zhengyang was an old man who had lived for ten thousand years, and he was still showing off his love. This old dog food almost choked him to death.
Yan Jun had only lived for a thousand years, and eighty percent of his time was spent cultivating. Although he had many women, he did not have a girlfriend. He had no one to love.
He did not feel that he needed love either. Only mortals with short lives needed such weak feelings.
However, seeing Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen holding hands and joking, that kind of feeling was not artificial, but especially deep and meaningful, he could not help but be filled with envy and jealousy.
Not only was Ao Zhen beautiful, but she was also the princess of the Dragon Clan. Not only did she have status, but she was also a Level 13 powerhouse. More importantly, Ao Zhen loved Gao Zhengyang very much.
Ao Zhen's inadvertent gaze was filled with love from the bottom of her heart. Although it was not strong, it was endless.
Even a ruthless person like Yan Jun was deeply affected at this moment.
Zheng Wangjun, who was walking in front, had a completely different thought. He also saw the feelings between Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen. But he was very disdainful.
It was said that Gao Zhengyang was ruthless, but it turned out that he was only ruthless to his enemies. Towards the person he loved, he was still affectionate.
Weak!
Zheng Wangjun felt that this kind of love was especially weak, and it would make one confused. However, it was a good thing for him that Gao Zhengyang was like this.
With Ao Zhen here, Gao Zhengyang had even more scruples.
Once a powerhouse lost the ability to make decisions. Then, he would not be qualified to be called a powerhouse.
Zheng Wangjun brought Gao Zhengyang and the rest through the flying ship base to the next level.
The space on this level was more spacious, and they could see all kinds of huge and exquisite buildings, forming a huge building complex.
These buildings were all connected by various transparent pipes. All kinds of military flying cars and flying ships passed back and forth.
Under the light source that resembled sunlight, this place was like a bustling and lively city. The difference was that those who came here were either robots or soldiers.
There were no neon lights or advertising plaques in the entire city. At a glance, it seemed too orderly. It was less lively and noisy.
"This is the headquarters of the Soaring Cloud Camp, with a total of nearly 20 million people. The next level is the Soaring Cloud City, which is even more lively. Most of the people there are family members of the military, merchants from all over, and so on …"
Zheng Wangjun brought Gao Zhengyang directly to the Commander-in-Chief, which was a ring-shaped building with eight corners. The entire building was made of special materials, and it could be seen as a powerful weapon of war.
Zheng Wangjun's office was naturally located at the highest level in the southeast corner.
Opposite his desk was a huge light mirror that was a few thousand square meters in size. The light mirror showed the situation of the northern border in real time.
The powerful spells and productivity of the human race allowed surveillance cameras to cover the sky and the ground. These surveillance cameras were only one-tenth the size of a fly, and they could be driven by the built-in array to connect to the Skynet and transmit surveillance signals in real time.
Tens of billions of surveillance cameras were scattered everywhere, and all the surveillance information transmitted back was collected through the Skynet, reassembled by the spirit computer, and pieced together into the huge light mirror in front of them.
Gao Zhengyang touched the light mirror with his divine sense, and that spot quickly expanded, showing many details.
Including the local temperature, wind direction, and so on.
"This is our defensive surveillance network, but this kind of information can also be easily interfered with."
Zheng Wangjun explained, "Low-level Insectoids have no intelligence, but high-level Insectoids have very high intelligence, and are not inferior to humans. In fact, they can even win slightly. Their thought waves are also very powerful against the human race … "
Zheng Wangjun had stayed at the northern border for more than two hundred years, and knew the situation of the Insectoids very well.
Although he was greedy for money and power, and selfish, his ability to lead troops was unquestionable. However, there was no doubt about his ability to lead troops. He was indeed a first-rate general talent.
"It is said that the highest leader of the Insectoids is a female Insectoid, known as the Empress. However, this person never shows herself, and usually only ten Champions appear. "
Zheng Wangjun said, "These ten Champions are all level-thirteen experts. According to the speculation of our staff unit, the Insectoids have at least fifteen level-thirteen experts …
These level-thirteen Insectoids have almost no emotions. Or rather, they have completely different emotions from us humans. In short, the Insectoids view all other life forms as food. No matter how strong this race is, they will eventually be destroyed by other life forms.
Right now, the Insectoids are actively preparing for war, and the war will break out in fifty years at the latest … "
Zheng Wangjun didn't really want to kill Gao Zhengyang. If he killed Gao Zhengyang, he wouldn't get any benefits. Instead, he would have to betray the demon race.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Wangjun hoped to use this opportunity to show his ability and make Gao Zhengyang realize the danger at the frontline.
Changing the commander at the last minute was a big taboo. Moreover, he had been in the Northern Ice Army for two hundred years. His foundation was very deep. Coupled with the millions of private mercenaries, he was extremely important to the war at the northern front.
Gao Zhengyang nodded. "You did well in this aspect."
Seeing Gao Zhengyang's indifferent attitude, Zheng Wangjun felt a chill in his heart. Since he had already said this much, this matter probably couldn't be resolved peacefully.
Zheng Wangjun simply gave up on everything and issued an order through his divine sense. "Execute the Sunset Plan."
The so-called Sunset Plan, of course, referred to killing Gao Zhengyang.
Zheng Wangjun also came up with this name on the spur of the moment. However, this battle plan had been practiced thousands of times. It definitely wasn't an impromptu idea.
It was just that the target was changed to Gao Zhengyang.
Most of the soldiers who carried out the plan didn't know who they were dealing with. As soldiers, their responsibility was to carry out orders. Instead of doubting or questioning him, he would not question him.
If every soldier doubted and questioned, the army would become a pile of loose sand. They wouldn't be qualified to be called an army.
After Zheng Wangjun issued the order, he was actually calm. At this point, there was no need to weigh the pros and cons. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, there was only one way to go.
"Chairman, please take a seat."
Zheng Wangjun returned to his seat first, then pointed to a chair and invited Gao Zhengyang to sit down.
Of course, this was very rude. Whether in terms of status or position, Gao Zhengyang had to sit in the seat of honor. In the entire human race, no one was qualified to sit in the seat of honor in front of Gao Zhengyang.
The staff and guards beside Zheng Wangjun were all very nervous, their faces all showing vigilance. They were all afraid that Gao Zhengyang would suddenly act up.
Gao Zhengyang didn't mind. He casually sat down on the chair, then said to Zheng Wangjun, "You did well in managing the army, but you also have many problems. I announce that you will be stripped of your position as the commander of the North Ice Army. Yan Jun will be the commander of the North Ice Army. You need to return to the Radiant Capital to be investigated … "
"Hehe, I knew it. Once you came back, you wanted to get rid of the dissidents and support your own people. "
Zheng Wangjun asked coldly, "You're fighting for power like this without considering the bigger picture. Are you fit to be the chairman? "
"You don't need to think about this question. You don't have the right to think about it. "
Gao Zhengyang said calmly, "I know you still want to resist. But I sincerely suggest that you obediently surrender, and there will still be a fair trial. "
"People like you don't have the right to lecture me. You don't have the right to interrogate me. "
Zheng Wangjun shouted, "If you want to mess with me, I'll kill you first!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a rumbling sound in the air. Boundless vitality gathered towards Gao Zhengyang from all directions.
Yan Jun, who was sitting not far from Gao Zhengyang, had a huge change in expression. Zheng Wangjun really made a move!
He hurriedly activated his Natal God Sword, but felt that the surrounding vitality was as strong as steel. He couldn't even circulate his vitality normally. He couldn't even activate his Natal God Sword immediately.
"Oh no, I'm really going to die here!"
Yan Jun hurriedly looked at Gao Zhengyang and Ao Zhen, hoping that the two of them would show their prowess and get out of this predicament.
To his disappointment, the two of them sat very steadily, without any intention of resisting. It was as if they were here to watch a show!
