"Aunt Shea, are you saying that I came out from that passageway? I'm not a human? "Wang Zhong was extremely shocked.
The reason was very simple. In the face of such a destructive disaster, no one in Inca City had survived, except for Wang Zhong. Even Wang Zhong himself would not believe that there was nothing strange about it.
"No." Aunt Shea shook her head. "The passageway was not opened at all. You appeared out of thin air. Furthermore, you don't know how terrifying the disaster was when the experiment failed. It was because of your appearance that the energy waves that could have destroyed the entire Earth stopped. If not, how could Inca City have been destroyed? "
Wang Zhong was slightly dumbfounded. He had stopped the energy waves that could have destroyed the entire Earth? He suddenly thought of the Fate Stone. Was it because of the Fate Stone?
Uncle Wang said with a smile, "In order to prevent you from becoming a test subject for the Patriarch Society, as well as to prevent the Patriarch Society from having such crazy thoughts, your Aunt Shea and I secretly took you away. Only the three of us know about this."
"Someone had to take the blame for the hole that the Patriarch Society had created." Aunt Shea added. "As the people in charge, Uncle Wang and I naturally had to accept the punishment of exile. Thus, we brought you to live in seclusion in Tianjing until the impact of the incident a few years ago gradually dissipated and we reached a new agreement with the Octopus people. Our exile ended, and we received orders to return to the Patriarch Society. Only then did we leave Tianjing."
"So you traveled to the Holy Land?" Wang Zhong smiled helplessly. "I knew that there was no such way to travel …"
Although he was joking, at that moment, Lao Wang's mind was filled with many thoughts. There was too much information. Although it had explained many of his doubts, even more doubts had arisen.
Who exactly was he? He had survived the disaster in Inca City and had even calmed the energy waves that could have destroyed the Earth because of his appearance … What the hell was this? Could it be that not only the Fate Stone, but he was also a strange product?
"Don't think so much. You are a human through and through." Wang Zhanfeng smiled and said, "Although we have experienced many things, Aunt Shea and I are very calm. The true meaning of life is memory. Aunt Shea and I are both humans. You are our son, so of course, you are also a human!"
Wang Zhong smiled. Uncle Wang was right. No matter what, he was the son of Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea. He had grown up on Earth and was born and raised there. He was a human through and through.
"Now, we have finally fulfilled the Holy Master's wish and joined the Star Alliance. However, this is only the first step of civilization. As a human, you should also shoulder this responsibility."
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Shea, what exactly is the situation in the Star Alliance?" The knot in Wang Zhong's heart was loosened by quite a bit. He had always been a person who could let go of things easily. "The explanation in that letter wasn't very clear."
Aunt Shea shook her head. "In fact, we don't know much either."
"After the humans joined the Star Alliance, based on the situation over the past two years, we have obtained more knowledge and information, as well as the exchange of some special resources. However, that is not heaven. The Star Alliance does not place much importance on level-4 civilizations like us who have just joined. The situation is much more complicated than we imagined. Over the past two years, we have been in a position of being exploited when exchanging various resources with other civilizations. We have no right to speak at all." Wang Zhanfeng said, "Furthermore, it is said that many people who have gone over have died or become slaves."
When he said this, Wang Zhanfeng furrowed his eyebrows. Every person who had gone over was the elite and hope of the human race, but it was obvious that the Star Alliance was not as warm as spring to the humans.
Wang Zhong did not say anything. He more or less understood that the Star Alliance had rules, but those were the rules of the experts. For example, if a person from Tutankhamun immigrated to the Federation, there was a high probability that they would treat him like a rich man. Being a level-4 civilization was the lowest standard. Furthermore, the humans had benefited from the Octopus people.
One could imagine what they were going through. "We do not have any reputation in the Star Alliance, nor do we have any allies. Other than being stamped on the list of members of the Star Alliance, we are practically invisible." Uncle Wang laughed bitterly and said, "Now, the first step for the humans is to establish a certain level of reputation in the Star Alliance. We have to understand the rules thoroughly and have the right to speak. If not, the humans will be squeezed dry before they can become a level-5 civilization."
"This is the third year since we joined the Star Alliance. A new batch of immigration quotas has arrived. They require Heavenly Soul experts below the age of 40. If we do not have enough quality, we will make up for it in terms of quantity," said Aunt Shea helplessly. "However, we can't even gather 100 immigration quotas."
When he saw Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea's expressions, Wang Zhong knew that if they had a choice, they would definitely not have allowed him to come. The humans had sacrificed so much, but they realized that the Star Alliance was a bottomless pit. Furthermore, the Star Alliance was still within the limits of the rules. This caused the humans to be in a dilemma.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Shea, I am also a part of the humans. Leave it to me. My natural endowments are added to my barbaric growth!" said Wang Zhong with a smile. Deep down, he really wanted to see what exactly the Star Alliance was like.
Wang Zhanfeng and Shirley looked at each other and smiled. This was Wang Zhong!
"As for our family, don't worry. Scarlet is our daughter-in-law. No one can bully her in the human race's territory!" said Aunt Shea with a smile. This way, Wang Zhong would not have any worries.
There were many things that he had to deal with when he headed to the Star Alliance. The first thing that he had to do gave Wang Zhong a headache — the existence of his soul companion.
According to the Patriarch Society, the transmission array in the Star Alliance had a considerable degree of soul tempering effect. This was undoubtedly a happy thing for living beings, but it was a nightmare for Soul Guards. It was extremely likely that Soul Guards would be baptized and disappear. They might even lose their original existence.
Wang Zhong, who had advanced to the Heavenly Soul Stage, had a different understanding of the soul contract between Soul Guards. It was not a problem to remove it. However, they had known each other for a long time and were comrades. It would be nonsense to say that they did not have any feelings for each other. However, the Patriarch Society would not speak without thinking. With Salamander and the others' level, they might completely disappear when they passed through the transmission array. This kind of disappearance would probably cause them to lose their original existence and reincarnation.
When it was time to make up his mind, Lao Wang was not an indecisive person. As long as he was alive, he would have an opportunity.
The first thing he had to deal with was Big White. It was very simple to remove the contract with him, but without the nourishment of Wang Zhong's soul, individual plankton would not be able to survive. Lao Wang also spent a few days. With the information provided by the Dimensional Hostel, he found a plankton race in a secret realm. With Big White's current level, he would be the king if he went there. The simpler a dimensional creature was, the clearer the social system was.
The strong would be the king. When they parted, Simba was naturally reluctant to part with Big White. It was rare for Simba to shed tears. He had thrown away his mount just like that. The ugly and the white cried and struggled for a long time. Lao Wang did not know whether to laugh or cry. In reality, Big White did not have any future with him. Letting him fly freely and letting him follow his race was where he truly belonged.
Then, it was Alice, Salamander, and the Headless Knight. These three were slightly more troublesome. Fortunately, the Patriarch Society had helped them and found two Golden Stone Slabs from the Stuart Family. Under the current general trend, the Stuart Family knew how to conduct themselves. Everyone knew how important Wang Zhong was to the Holy Land and to the human race. Resistance?
No way. The New World was already unstoppable, and this was the general trend. Of course, the Stuart Family still had influence, and Ma Dong could not kill them all. The Patriarch Society would not allow this. Furthermore, it would cause greater internal friction for the human race. Ma Dong's strategy was to gradually replace and change the human race.
As for Carolyn, she had already entered the Star Alliance, but there was no news of her. The Stuart Family also hoped that Wang Zhong could enter and lead the team. There was only hope if he was alive.
Uncle Zhang personally helped. The so-called removal was not ascension. Mo Wen had already experienced it. Salamander and the other two would be entrusted to the Golden Stone Slabs and survive in another form. When they were about to part, Salamander had the most "emotions" and hugged Wang Zhong. Alice bowed like a little princess, while the Headless Knight raised his spear. They were illusory fragments and did not have a sense of self. However, they had undergone some changes during their time together with Wang Zhong. They would not dissipate as quickly as ordinary fragments. With the Golden Stone Slabs, they could exist in another form, cultivate, and search for their own opportunities.
As for the Golden Stone Slabs that the human race had once been extremely concerned about, after Alice and the others returned, the Patriarch Society interpreted them as … more like a set of toys, similar to human chess and cards. This suited the evil tastes of the advanced civilizations in the Star Alliance.
As for Simba, he was not a Soul Guard and did not even have a Soul Contract. Simba and Wang Zhong also did not have a normal contractual relationship. How could they remove the Golden Stone Slabs? Furthermore, their relationship was different from that of other Soul Companions. The two of them were almost companions. They were like teachers and friends.
Of course, Simba never planned to leave. As for the Star Alliance Array, the arrogant Simba did not care about it. He believed that he and the Fate Stone were god-leveled existences from a higher dimension. They definitely saved Wang Zhong because they pitied him. As for the Star Alliance, he did not need to care about it at all.
Anyway, Simba had made up his mind to break through. This was also Wang Zhong's idea. With the existence of the Fate Stone, to be honest, although Wang Zhong did not underestimate the power of the Star Alliance, he did not think that he could affect the Fate Stone. In essence, the Star Alliance was the highest level of existence in the Fifth Dimension, but some of the Fate Stone's actions were at least at the same level.
Break through!
… …
A new batch of immigrants was gathering in the Holy City. Indeed, just like what Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea had said, there were too few humans in the Holy City who could meet the requirements for immigrants.
The human race did not lack Heavenly Soul experts. In fact, there were many more Heavenly Soul Great Teachers than Wang Zhong had imagined. However, there were too few who were below 40 years old. In the first year, the 100 people who passed were rather orderly. Most of them came from the three ancient human families, the Mo Family, the Zhang Family, and the Cainpals Family. In the second year, there were much fewer people. Lan Daier, Carolyn, and the others had just advanced to the Heavenly Soul Stage. Together with Mu Zi, Aiolos, and the others from the Empire, there were only around 50 people.
This year, there were even fewer people. They waited in the Holy City for around 10 days. On the night before the deadline for immigrants, there were only 16 qualified people. Although humans had started to "promote" new Heavenly Souls, this was not like giving birth to pigs. They had to focus on resources and methods. Furthermore, there was another reason. Some people were observing. Were there really no Heavenly Souls among the people?
That was not necessarily the case. The news was public. Was it really that easy to enter the Star Alliance? Some people would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
It was said that the Octopus people had managed to gather 100 immigrants over the past three years. Furthermore, they had a surplus and needed to undergo a rather intense internal selection process. Looking at the humans … Frankly speaking, the human race's foundation was indeed very poor. After entering the Star Alliance, all the higher-ups knew that the human race was the worst level-4 civilization.
The various great civilizations that had joined the Star Alliance could generally be divided into two types. One was a power civilization that pursued individual combat power for all its citizens. The other was a technological civilization that pursued technological innovation and the development of resources.
Based on these two methods, it should be easy for a normal level-4 civilization to produce 100 Heavenly Soul experts who were below 40 years old every year.
If not, they would need to have the corresponding technology and resources of a level-4 civilization. For example, the most basic standard for a level-4 civilization was to produce 10,000 tons of energy stones annually … Heavens. When Ma Dong first heard about this number, his jaw almost dropped in shock. What did 10,000 tons of energy stones mean? Based on all the secret realms and resources that humans currently controlled in the Fifth Dimension, including the Earth's headquarters, even if they combined all of their annual production value and converted them into energy stone ores, they would not be able to refine 1,000 tons of energy stones. This was an order of magnitude difference.
The energy stones were the "membership fee" that every member who joined the Star Alliance had to pay. The humans were of little value. The Patriarch Society, who had seen a corner of the Star Alliance, knew that this was not an alarmist. After all, there was really no need for them at the level of the Star Alliance. The humans were lucky enough to enter the Star Alliance not because they were very strong, but because of their special characteristics.
The humans were an extremely rare "celestial" low-leveled civilization. This meant that the human race was somewhat similar to the top-level civilizations in the Star Alliance. This was also why the "myths" on Earth were so complicated. They were not like other civilizations that had a single one or two civilizations that opposed each other. The humans … were simply broken.
Perhaps these special characteristics attracted the Star Alliance and gave the humans a chance that was akin to charity. The Patriarch Society, who recognized this truth, had to be deeply worried. It would have been fine if they did not know. They could have been happy frogs at the bottom of a well. Now that they had jumped out, they had to face it. Not running away was also one of the strengths of the humans.
In the transmission hall, 16 young Heavenly Soul experts were gathered. Everyone wore the same uniform that was made from a strange kind of scale-skin. Wang Zhong had tried this scale-skin, but he could not tear it even with the strength of his hands. It was said that it was a special material from the Star Alliance. It was rather sturdy and extremely light. If the entire set of clothes was weighed, it would probably only weigh a few dozen grams. In addition, there was also a small bag that was sewn from this kind of scale-skin. It could be considered a wallet. Everyone's small bag contained 50 square black Star Coins. The symbol of the Star Alliance was engraved on the front. This should be the basic currency in circulation in the Star Alliance.
Not only were Star Coins a currency, but they were also a collection of energy. Based on the current value that Ma Dong and the others had come into contact with, 50 small Star Coins was enough to buy a very large shop in the center of the Holy City. However, if they were to bring these 50 Star Coins to the Star Alliance, they did not know how much purchasing power they would have.
However, Wang Zhong's small bag was obviously much bulkier. Ma Dong used the resources on hand to help him gather an additional 50 Star Coins. Uncle Wang and Aunt Shea also gave him an additional 50 Star Coins. It did not seem like much, but it was the limit of everyone's ability. To the humans in the Holy City, Star Coins were still a rather scarce resource. At present, the humans had spent a huge price to buy these Star Coins from other civilizations for research purposes.
Thus, they had a rather small amount of stock. Those who needed to be mobilized had already been mobilized, and those who could be instructed had already been instructed. Other than a few staff members who were busy controlling the transmission array, there was no one else in the hall.
Wang Zhong looked around. This group of people looked very young. The average age was around 30 years old, and the youngest was only 24 or 25 years old. They were all outstanding children from some ancient families in the Holy City, but frankly speaking, their strength was rather average. They were probably products that had been "catalyzed" quickly.
Not to mention people like Wang Zhong and Aiolos, even Carolyn and the leaders of the various exploration teams, who had entered the Star Alliance two years ago, were far behind them. Even if they relied on unorthodox methods to achieve the Heavenly Soul Stage in their twenties, it was not difficult to see their natural endowments. However, they had used this method of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm and killing the goose that laid the golden egg. It could be seen that the Holy City had exhausted all their tricks. The position of the humans in the Star Alliance was already very awkward. If they were to cancel the immigration policy, they would completely lose their sense of existence in the Star Alliance and enter an even more vicious cycle.
The Patriarch Society had no other choice. In terms of the overall environment, even if they wasted some geniuses, as long as they could endure the first few years, when the Star Stones were successfully developed, and when the cultivation environment, which had been changed by learning from other civilizations, was more mature, the humans would naturally catch up, and the situation would slowly improve.
While the staff members were still busy, a dozen young Heavenly Souls were also softly chatting with each other. Everyone came from different parts of the human territory in the Fifth Dimension. They knew each other's names, but they were not familiar with each other. At that moment, they were trying to befriend each other. They were about to head to an unknown new territory, and they were all humans. It was always good to have an acquaintance beside them.
"Are you Senior Wang Zhong?" A young Heavenly Soul enthusiastically extended his hand to Wang Zhong. "I'm Wales Karon. I've heard a lot about your fame in the Holy City over the past two years."
The Karon Family was considered an old family in the Holy City. Their strength was comparable to the 10 Great Families in the Federation. Although they did not set foot on Earth, they had two medium-sized secret realms in the Fifth Dimension. Wales Karon was the genius of this generation in their family.
"We are about the same age, so there's no need to call me Senior." Wang Zhong smiled and shook hands with him. He was a little surprised. Even though he was not in the world, there were still legends about him.
