Although the Holy City had been under a lot of economic pressure in the past two years, that was obviously just the intuition of the higher-ups from a long-term perspective. In fact, the actual benefits had already been realized. The Earth had changed too much in the past few years.
After joining the Star Alliance, they had a broader vision, allowing the higher-ups of the Holy City to no longer limit their vision to the narrow and remote area of the Fifth Dimension. They also opened up a lot of information to the Earth. In fact, there were already signs of this when Wang Zhong first entered the Holy City. Furthermore, the higher-ups of the Holy City finally understood that the Fifth Dimension and the Fourth Dimension complemented each other.
Every four-dimensional world in reality was extremely precious. It was the true cradle of civilization and life. Even the level-8 civilizations in the divine territory and the Land could not create a planet that could give birth to life out of thin air. It could even be said that even the four races in Heaven did not necessarily have such means. If not, they would not have needed to conquer and collect the faith of low-leveled civilizations in peripheral worlds. Wouldn't it be better if they created a bunch of planets and evolved various races? This was a gift from the universe. Every planet with life was unique.
The Fifth Dimension indeed had a higher vision, space, and cultivation conditions, but there were also many limitations. For example, the fertility rate of the Holy City could not be compared to that of the Earth. This was because of the special nature of the world. The world of the Soul Will could not completely replace the real world, and it was not simply because it was difficult for the genes of experts to reproduce. For example, in the Star Alliance, even the lofty level-8 civilizations attached great importance to the four-dimensional world that gave birth to them. They were committed to the development of their birthplace, and a large amount of resources were accumulated in their birthplace. As a result, the four-dimensional worlds of advanced civilizations even had some cultivation conditions that surpassed those in the divine territory and the Land.
The elites of the Holy City began to travel back and forth between the Earth and the Holy City in large numbers. A considerable portion of the precious resources that the Holy City obtained from the Star Alliance were used to transform the Earth and send the elites of the Holy City to clear the forbidden areas on the Earth.
Countless forbidden areas were unsealed, and the unknown areas on Earth's map were returned to Earth's territory one by one. The conquest of the ocean had been completed a year ago. The ocean that was once insurmountable to Earthlings had now become a calm backyard fish pond. Every day, a large number of 'powerful' sea creatures were hunted and killed, providing Earthlings with abundant energy in the form of marine resources. This allowed Earth, which was still in the Great Reconstruction Period, to have sufficient food and materials. The countless mutated humans and refugees who once gathered outside the walls of life also had a chance to survive.
With the abundance of resources and the expansion of the transportation network, the entire Earth, which had been falling apart since the Dark Age, had been reshaped by the Holy City's bold and decisive reforms. The empires merged into the Federation and were divided into administrative provinces. In North America, South Asia, Eastern Europe, and other barren areas, large-scale population migration was also carried out. Most of them were former mutated humans and refugees, but there were also many minority races such as werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and so on. The Federation divided these barren lands into areas that belonged to them. They were either managed by the Federation or allowed to govern themselves. They also provided a large amount of resources and food. They looked forward to the day when more powerful and different evolutionary bloodlines would appear on Earth.
An era where hundreds of races contended for supremacy had quietly arrived. Unlike the pessimistic attitude of the higher-ups in the Holy City some time ago, the people on Earth did not feel any economic pressure. The abundance of food and overall safety made the people on Earth extremely satisfied. All the people on Earth devoted their energy to the expansion of cities. The entire Earth was thriving, showing extraordinary vitality.
The Federation, Tianjing …
It was once a second-tier city in the Federation of 100 cities, but it had already become one of the top 10 cities on Earth.
The first was the rise of Tianjing Academy. When Wang Zhong had just become the number one Heavenly Soul in the Holy City and returned to Tianjing to live in seclusion for two years, Tianjing Academy had already become a holy place for the entire Earth Federation to make a pilgrimage, allowing Tianjing to leap to become a first-tier city. Closely after, the Assassin Family rose to power. They established the Federation's first global trade market in Tianjing, allowing Tianjing to become the economic center of the entire Federation. After that, the Life Rune Research Laboratory was set up in Tianjing. The Copperfield Family settled in Tianjing, and many large families and financial groups invested in Tianjing. As a result, Tianjing underwent earth-shattering changes every day. The city district had expanded to more than six times its original size, and it was extremely prosperous.
The extremely prosperous Tianjing attracted the attention of countless people on Earth with its outstanding education and exponentially growing economy. However, no one knew that the New Century City, which the Assassin Family had once invested in, was now the private territory of the Assassin Family. However, no one knew that a terrifying Heavenly Soul base was hidden in this place …
"Mr. Ma Dong, the next batch of resources will be delivered in three days, Earth time. This includes five D-rank spiritual energy devices from the Machinery race, two D-rank spiritual pressure chambers from the Machinery race, twenty D-rank type III quantum cannons, one C-rank cruising spaceship, seven types of level-9 elixirs, and several B-rank and C-rank metals and elixirs. Of course, His Highness Wang Zhong has asked us to hand over 30 secret manuals on Foundational Stage cultivation and pill refinery. He said that this is a continuation of the previous batch … Please take note and check when you receive them. " In the video, a middle-aged man from the Illusion race was communicating with Ma Dong with a smile. "Old rules. Use an anonymous Dimensional Bank account to transfer the funds. Don't leave any transaction data."
"Mr. Caboose, you've worked hard. Don't worry. I will definitely abide by the rules." In front of the virtual projection, Ma Dong's attitude was very humble. Even though the members of the Illusion race had been very polite to him ever since he came into contact with them, Ma Dong knew that it was not because he was respected, but because they were giving face to Wang Zhong and the young master of the Illusion race. At this time, the Earth could not become arrogant. They had to act appropriately. If they overstepped their boundaries, they would be tarnishing the reputation of the Earth and Wang Zhong. As for the anonymous account …
The Illusion race were not naive and could not see the situation clearly. The Earth was now a classic example of shooting the bird that stood out. They were only a level-4 civilization, but they enjoyed the treatment of a quasi-level-5 civilization. This would make many people jealous, and it was inevitable that they would cause trouble. If they were not careful, a powerful force in the Star Alliance might attack the Earth. The Illusion race did not intend to participate in this. They did business with the Earth and gave them some material help. On the one hand, Jhonas was the middleman, but the Illusion race was more concerned about Wang Zhong's identity as a member of the Celestial Honors Class. However, they did not intend to make this public. They only interacted in secret and gave the Earth some practical benefits as a means to befriend Wang Zhong. However, on the surface, the Illusion race would not admit that they had done business with the Earth …
Ma Dong understood all of this. He would not really pour his heart out to the Illusion race, but he would not think that the Illusion race had ulterior motives. In the end, the Earth was the one who benefited. The Illusion race was just investing. Regardless of whether they had done their best or not, or whether they had other motives, they were willing to invest in the Earth when it was in danger and gave them benefits. This was already a huge favor. Why would they not allow them to protect themselves instinctively? Then, there must be something wrong with their brains and character.
"That's great! I've finished practicing the techniques that Brother Wang Zhong sent me previously. I was just worrying about not having any more. "
Just as Ma Dong hung up the call, he heard a happy voice by his ear. He was shocked and did not know whether to laugh or cry. Ever since his sister had advanced to the Heavenly Soul Stage, her footsteps had become quieter and quieter. If not for the fact that she still had a bright and youthful face, she would have sounded like a ghost.
"What about Laura, Sharmie, and the rest?" Ma Dong asked casually. "Also, I'm your biological brother. You don't necessarily treat me so well."
Emily rolled her eyes. "Ma Dong Dong, go to the side. They're improving at a godly speed. The techniques that Brother Wang Zhong sent are too extensive and profound. Their horizons are completely different from the techniques in the Holy City … That's right, when are you arranging for us to go to the divine territory? "
"You want to go so badly?" Ma Dong smiled. "Do Laura and the rest want to go as well?"
"Of course. I can't wait."
"You guys are too impatient." Ma Dong smiled and shook his head. Through the Heavenly Treasures Street, he had already contacted Wang Zhong face-to-face. He was much clearer about the situation in the divine territory than the Patriarch Society. "With the modification of several batches of the Machinery race's spiritual equipment, the cultivation conditions in the No. 1 spiritual space are not much worse than in the divine territory. At least, it is enough for you guys now. Going there rashly will not be of any help to Wang Zhong. Furthermore, don't forget that in order to deal with external threats, we must first stabilize the internal situation. This is our plan. We still need you guys to get rid of a group of people in the Holy City. Quickly reach the peak of the Foundational Stage. Wang Zhong is already sorting out his experiences in accumulating his Void Core. When all of you have accumulated your Void Core and solved all the problems in the Holy City, it will not be too late for you guys to expose yourselves and go to the divine territory. That's right, when will Oli and the rest arrive? "
"Around three in the afternoon."
"You and Laura will be in charge." Ma Dong thought for a while. "Let them rest for two days first and bring them to familiarize themselves with the No. 1 spiritual space. Three days later, the new spiritual equipment will arrive. I will get people to assemble it overnight, and the No. 2 spiritual space will be used by them. You will be in charge of their cultivation techniques. Although they are trustworthy people, we cannot completely hand over the techniques to them. You will judge who is suitable for what and then hand copies to them. "
"Okay."
Emily nodded her head. She was very clear about the current situation on the Earth and in the divine territory. Ma Dong had never hidden anything from them.
This secret base in New World City was the accumulation of all the financial resources of the Assassin Family. It was also built with Wang Zhong's continuous efforts and the help of the Illusion Race. Twelve D-rank spiritual equipment from the Machinery Race, coupled with the most advanced gravity space of the Machinery Race, could completely simulate the environment in the divine territory and the Land. Although it was only equivalent to the spiritual pressure and gravity at the edge of the Land, it was enough to temper them, who had yet to accumulate their Void Cores.
However, it was a pity that these equipment were too expensive. Ma Dong and Wang Zhong, who was behind him, had put in all their efforts, but they could only create a space that was about 500 square meters. A group of elites who definitely belonged to the 'New World Faction' was gathered. There were not many members. Laura, Sharmie, Emily, and Gui Xinying were the first batch of members. They were the ones who used the No. 1 spiritual space. There was no other way. The space was only so big. The spiritual pressure and spiritual influence produced by the 12 spiritual equipment were only enough for a few people to cultivate. Laura and the others were definitely not the most elite among the humans on Earth. They could not compare to many top experts in the Holy City. However, one thing was certain. No matter when or what the situation was, they would definitely stand on the same side as Wang Zhong.
Oli and the others were from the second batch. They were former vice-captains of the City of Blazing Angels and were once one of the top 10 experts in the CHF. Papada, the former captain of the City of Blazing Angels, was already a fanatical admirer of Wang Zhong during the CHF. After that, Wang Zhong continued to climb higher and became a god in several battles. He was the child of Tianjing Academy's Colby and Lily. Although he was only six years old, he had extraordinary natural endowments and was doted on by everyone. Back when Wang Zhong was still in Tianjing, he had received many pointers from Wang Zhong. After that, Ma Dong gave him a large number of resources. Furthermore, with his extraordinary natural endowments, he had reached the threshold of the Heavenly Soul Stage at the age of six. He had long been hailed as the second genius of the humans on Earth after Wang Zhong. Many people even said that he was the new hope of Earth's future and represented the sudden change in the genes of the second generation of Earth …
Many things in the Holy City had decayed, and humans on Earth needed a new order. The New World Spiritual Space was Ma Dong and the Assassins' trump card.
After sending Emily off and dealing with various official matters, the sky had already turned dark. Ma Dong was also a little tired.
This spacious office seemed even more deserted at night. It had long become Ma Dong's living quarters. He closed the door and stood in front of the thick floor-to-ceiling windows with a glass of red wine in hand.
This was one of Ma Dong's hobbies when he was free. He stood quietly in the tall office building by himself. From here, he could see the bustling night scenery of New World City and Tianjing. He could see the endless stream of vehicles and colorful lights, as well as the energetic young people who were immersed in the peaceful nightlife. He used to be one of them. When he was still a student, he was already known as the Little Prince of Nightclubs. His only worry was that he did not have enough pocket money. Now, money was just a number to him. As long as he wanted to, he could move any form of entertainment on Earth into his office at any time. He could also have as many women as he wanted. However, with the best conditions, he no longer had the mood to enjoy life.
Although the thick, specially processed glass windows did not block his vision, they sealed off all sounds. The entire office was quiet, as if he was completely isolated from the bustling outside world. It was cold and desolate, as if he was watching a silent and boring black-and-white movie. The lively disputes in the movie had nothing to do with him. He was like a passerby watching from the side, unable to put himself in the shoes of the audience. There was not a single ripple in his heart.
His heart moved slightly. He closed the curtains, placed the glass of red wine on the table, and opened the drawer …
There was an ancient bronze lamp lying quietly in the drawer. This was something he had bought from the Illusion Race, the Dimensional Soul Beckoning Lamp!
Beside the bronze lamp was a small cloth bag. When he opened the bag, there was a small tuft of slightly withered hair.
Ma Dong carefully pinched the tuft of hair, as if he was afraid that he would hurt it if he pinched it too hard. His domineering and mature eyes during the day now looked incomparably empty and lonely. Everything he had now was what he had pursued and desired in the past, but he lacked someone to share it with.
Desolate, lonely, and lonely. Ma Dong had wanted to get rid of these things countless times. However, sometimes, people were cheap. The more he wanted to get rid of them, the more he couldn't get rid of them. Instead, he sank deeper and deeper.
He had regretted his actions countless times. Now that he was at his current height, what had happened to Milami and even what had happened to the Kaiser Empire was no longer a problem. This was not only because of the difference in status between then and now, but also because of his foresight, ability, and way of dealing with problems.
In fact, he had many opportunities to change his fate back then. It was a pity that he was still too immature back then and couldn't grasp them. In fact, he never saw a better way to deal with problems. As a result, he could only pinch this small tuft of hair to reminisce.
There was a legend in the Fifth Dimension that stated that the soul of every living being was unique. Unless they suffered a special soul injury, they would not die. The Fifth Dimension was a world of the spiritual soul. After death, the soul would drift in a certain part of the Fifth Dimension. Without the protection of a physical body, their consciousness would be incomparably weak, akin to a wandering ghost. Perhaps they would find a suitable opportunity to enter the Fifth Dimension and reincarnate into a Fourth Dimension. Or perhaps they would drift aimlessly and gradually die.
Thus, there were many examples of soul summoning in the divine territory because they truly existed. In the Heaven, there was even a legend of resurrection. It was said that this was the method of the four great races in the Heaven …
If Wang Zhong's goal in pursuing the path of ultimate strength was to become stronger and to allow the entire Earth civilization to live a more peaceful life, then Ma Dong's goal in pursuing the limit was another. In fact, his ambition was even greater. He dreamed of one day coming into contact with the so-called four races in Heaven and the so-called legend of resurrection in Heaven. He wanted that person to stand in front of him again so that he could make up for his past mistakes.
As for now …
Ma Dong placed the strand of hair into the Spirit Summoning Lamp. He had tried this countless times. Although he had never truly succeeded, Ma Dong never doubted it. There was no need to doubt the legend of summoning souls and the Spirit Summoning Device in the Land. It was not an illusory legend, and there were many real examples. Furthermore, the Illusion Race's weapon refinery methods in this aspect were considered masters. However, summoning souls was not easy and depended on some luck.
He took a deep breath and slowly recited a mantra. An ancient green light began to appear on the Spirit Summoning Lamp. It flickered like before, just like Ma Dong's current mood.
