Middle Ages, Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.
Meng Yi suddenly opened his eyes.
He felt something. Under his bronze body, there were spirit designs inscribed on it that were slowly rotating.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a wave of psionic power reverberating in the array.
"Ancestral Dragon!" He raised his head.
Only the Ancestral Dragon had the ability to directly give orders into his array.
But...
He felt the obscure psionic power signal in the array.
"I..."
"Seal..."
"General..."
He barely deciphered these words from the obscure psionic power signal.
"General?"
"The Ancestral Dragon is going to confer the title of General?!"
As a loyal minister, Meng Yi immediately stood up.
"No!"
"I must return to the Ancestral Dragon's command immediately!"
The Ancestral Dragon was going to confer the title of General!
This meant that he was already in a war.
Moreover, the situation might already be very critical!
That was why he would confer the title of General!
Thus, Meng Yi directly walked out of the huge palace that the Xing Han Empire had built for him.
He raised his head and looked at the starry sky.
He felt the location of the psionic power signal.
But...
He found nothing!
"I hate that traitor Zhao Gao..." Meng Yi couldn't help but be angry. "He destroyed the observatory... Otherwise, I would definitely be able to sense the source of the Ancestral Dragon's signal!"
The Immortal Qin Empire had once built a magnificent observatory.
Thirty star masters had poured their entire lives' cultivation into it.
The Ancestral Dragon had even personally integrated one of his incarnations into it.
Thus, with the help of this observatory.
The Immortal Qin Empire could map the star path and head to the myriad worlds to conquer the disobedient subjects.
However, the observatory had already been destroyed by Zhao Gao.
And the Ancestral Dragon's signal seemed to have been severely interfered with. He could only hear a few blurry words.
It was not enough to determine its direction.
However...
Meng Yi turned around and walked back to the palace.
He believed that the Ancestral Dragon would send out psionic power signals sooner or later.
Next time, his signal might be clearer.
Perhaps, it might come with a location.
At that time, it wouldn't be too late for him to follow!
… …
Ling Ping'an sat at the counter and ate his breakfast.
The kitten, Bastet, who had just been conferred the title of Rat Extermination General, proudly patrolled back and forth inside the bookstore. It looked here and touched there, as if it had really taken office and become the Rat Extermination General of this bookstore. It vowed to pull out the rats from the corners of the bookstore and bring them to justice.
Ling Ping'an looked at it and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Bastet!" he cried.
That guy immediately ran in front of him and looked at Ling Ping'an adorably with his furry little head.
"Little darling..." Ling Ping'an couldn't help but pat its head, "There are no mice in the house!"
This bookstore of the Ling family had never had rats.
In the past, there were cockroaches, ants, and bees.
In recent years, even these had disappeared.
Not only that?
The entire street was like this.
Meow!
The little fellow let out a soft cry.
It stuck out its tongue and licked the back of its master's hand.
Seeing this, Ling Ping'an shook his head, "Okay... Okay..."
"If you like it, then continue!"
Meow!
The little fellow let out a happy cry, jumped into the counter skillfully, and lay down in the corner.
Ling Ping'an continued to eat his breakfast.
… …
He Rourou drove to the dormitory building that she bought again.
This construction site?
It had already been stopped.
The latest orders of the Blackguard had been issued.
Commercial and residential development was prohibited.
Only a few designated development uses were allowed.
And all development?
They had to be declared in advance.
In front of power?
The Lion City Corporation could only tuck its tail between its legs?
Obediently listen to orders?
They didn't dare to resist at all.
Even if it was the Xingye Group of the Zheng family, the local tyrant of Guangnan?
It was the same.
There was no other way?
This land?
Since ancient times, it had not been a land where capital had the final say.
Capital was always a tool.
However, He Rourou did not look worried at all.
She went up to the roof and looked down at the construction site.
"The board of directors is under a lot of pressure..." a director sent by the group to assist her?
Behind her, he said softly, "There are already some objections..."
He Rourou smiled disdainfully.
The opinion of the board of directors?
She never cared!
Because of those people's opinions?
It was not worth mentioning.
The director also understood?
This young miss would not care. He could only lower his head and say, "The royal family also has objections..."
He Rourou sneered. "Those fat-headed and big-eared guys?
Are they qualified to give me opinions? "
The Kingdom of Samboja had never had a strong central government.
Logically speaking, it was not that Samboja belonged to the category of 'world'.
Moreover, since the era of Taizong of the Federal Empire, a series of friendly trade treaties had been signed with the Federal Empire.
In particular, the 'Regional Comprehensive Partnership Treaty' that had been signed fifty years ago had given the royal family enough legitimacy.
Otherwise, the forces of Samboja would have long gotten rid of the incompetent royal family.
Even so, under the banner of local autonomy, the various forces of Samboja had already formed a separatist regime.
Listening to the tune but not listening to the announcement was already the current situation in many places, including Lion City.
The royal family's orders did not leave the capital.
Every year, when they received loans and preferential industrial products from the Federal Empire, the royal family would be pushed out as a mascot to prove that the kingdom was still united.
Therefore, in He Rourou's eyes, the royal family was equivalent to monkeys in the zoo.
The director coughed awkwardly and could only lower his head and say, "No matter what, the royal family has 20% of the shares in the group..."
"Hehe..." He Rourou turned her head. Her peach blossom-like eyes made the director not dare to look at her.
"Go back and tell those guys!" He Rourou raised her head. "They don't need to interrupt the operation of the group!"
"They just need to sit obediently and wait for the dividends!"
The director swallowed his saliva helplessly. He could only say, "His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring you a message..."
"Next month, the Crown Prince will lead a group to the fellowship party in the imperial capital..."
"I hope you can go... and add color to the kingdom..."
He Rourou listened and nodded. "I will go!"
After sending the director away, He Rourou gently pulled up her bangs.
She walked to the edge of the roof and looked at the few buildings that had been demolished.
She waved her hand and said to a designer who had been standing behind her, "Modify the design!"
"Change this place from a commercial and residential area to a science and technology park..."
"Release a plan to attract investment... Invite the major research institutes of the Federal to come and bid!"
Commercial housing could not be done.
However, this had instead created new opportunities.
He Rourou had already found out the next step of the Blackguard\'s deployment.
This place would become the largest science and technology research and development center in the Guangnan region.
The Empire\'s Central University and Cambridge University in Britannia were going to form a\ 'friendly cooperative partnership\' and build a research institute here.
In addition, the Imperial University of Technology and other world-famous universities were also accumulating strength and waiting to take action.
Legend had it that a few famous scholars from the Academy of Sciences were actively competing.
How smart was He Rourou?
She knew that her piece of land would become the most precious treasure in her hands.
It might even be a priceless treasure!
The Grand Scholars of the Federal Empire...
They were figures at the top of the pyramid!
In this country, in terms of status, only the generals of the Blackguard would dare to say that they could firmly suppress these people.
Moreover, because the Blackguard could not interfere in the affairs of the commoners.
In a sense, the true masters and rulers of this country were those Grand Scholars!
The national policy was formulated after their discussion.
The national project was implemented after their discussion.
What was even more amazing was that they could jump out at any time and participate in the governance!
Whether it was the Datong Party or the Gonghe Party, they would welcome these people to participate.
Regardless of which party, they all liked to package themselves as the party that represented science and technology and human progress.
Thinking of this, He Rourou\'s eyes were colorful.
Because she smelled something that made her heart beat faster.
"This area..." she looked down at her property and looked north and south along the demolished dormitory building.
In the distance was the abandoned industrial park.
The industrial park, the roads, the residential area, the school, the commercial area...
The area within a radius of 20 kilometers seemed to be dyed with a layer of mystery.
This year\'s college entrance examination, the local science top scorer came from this area.
The scores of the students in this area had skyrocketed.
There was a legend about the\ 'Wenqu Star Blessed Land\' in the streets.
This was also the reason why she had invested here in the first place.
But...
Just as Li Taibai said, you don\'t know the true face of Mount Lu because you are in this mountain!
Originally, she was blinded by benefits and couldn\'t taste it.
Now, with the Blackguard\'s ban.
The new science and technology industrial park policy was about to be implemented.
She came back to her senses.
"There must be a super expert here who can radiate the surroundings!"
"Moreover, it is very likely that he is at the immortal level!"
Only a powerhouse like that could do this.
Turning one\'s place into a blessed land, and the blessings would extend!
"Master!" He Rourou\'s beautiful eyes were filled with emotion.
Only her master could create such an effect!
Only that great master could make the Blackguard tremble with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice.
But...
Where was her master?
He Rourou looked at the thousands of worlds, and her eyes gradually became determined.
She knew that her master was in this area.
So...
"I will definitely find you..."
"My master..."
… …
A large special heavy-duty helicopter slowly lifted the divine cauldron from the river.
The heavy-duty helicopter that could lift a main battle tank made a dull sound.
The giant cauldron in the water swayed.
Li Shouyi had no choice but to take action. He held the bottom of the giant cauldron and helped the helicopter lift it out of the river.
At the airport of a city not far from here, the strategic transport plane that was ordered to undertake the transportation mission was already in place.
The huge cabin door was opened.
Soldiers with live ammunition and members of the Blackguard holding various magical artifacts were on guard.
As the helicopter arrived at the airport, the entire airport immediately became busy.
With Li Shouyi\'s help, the huge divine cauldron was loaded into the cabin.
Then, the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard personally boarded the strategic transport plane and took off with it, flying towards the metropolitan territory.
All of this was seen by the satellites in low-Earth orbit in space.
It wasn\'t just the Federal Empire.
There were also those from the Land of Qin.
For example...
The reconnaissance satellites of the powerful countries of the Land of Qin.
The high-resolution military-grade cameras could take centimeter-level pictures of the opposite side.
All the pictures were transmitted back to the strategic command centers of their respective countries in real time through the data satellites.
Then, the alarms sounded, and the big shots who held great power were urgently awakened.
Then, they saw the pictures sent back by the satellites.
These big shots looked at this scene and held their breath.
"Cauldron?"
Because of the strength of the Federal Empire, they naturally understood what the cauldron meant in the East?
"A divine artifact?" Someone asked.
"No!" The official who had studied in the East immediately shook his head. "This is not just a divine artifact..."
"It should be a master artifact!"
"The cauldron was the symbol of the country in the ancient times of the East!"
"According to research and analysis, it is not only a symbol of divine power, but also of imperial power!"
"Then can we think of a way...?" Someone asked.
"You're crazy!" This unrealistic idea was naturally immediately refuted. "Do you want to cause a world war?"
Attack that country's military plane?
And it was a military plane carrying out such a mission. What was the difference between that and declaring war?
And declaring war on the East?
Two hundred years ago, they had already done it.
They gathered the strength of all the countries in the Land of Qin.
Britannia, Fran, Franc, Hapsburg...
However, they were still on the battlefield. Their heads were broken and their corpses were everywhere.
Even if they sent the transcendent being into the battlefield in an organized manner.
They formed the werewolf regiment, the vampire battalion, the paladin division, the witch company...
They were still crushed!
The New Qinling Mountain became the Sad Ridge.
In the end, countless sacrifices were made. Even the king was guillotined because of the war.
In exchange, they received a 'New Black Dragon Peace Treaty'.
Give up all the colonies...
Give freedom to all the enslaved and oppressed nations and kingdoms...
The war two hundred years ago gave the people of the Land of Qin a heavy blow.
Physical and psychological.
Until now, even after two hundred years, the Land of Qin still did not have the courage to start a war against the East.
Moreover, the current Land of Qin had long been torn apart, with internal and external troubles.
The Odin system, the Ospirin system...
They would never interfere in the dispute between the Land of Qin and the East.
Although their relationship with the East was not very good, it was not bad either.
They might even stand in the Eastern camp in the war.
Thus, everyone fell into silence.
"We must unite..."
In some places, someone said quietly.
"The great Rome must reappear in the world!"
This was a difficult cause.
Ever since the New Black Dragon Peace Treaty was signed, generations of people had tried one after another for two hundred years, but they were unable to realize it.
The number of heroes who had fallen in this cause was uncountable.
The Emperor of Fran...
Frederick the Great of Prussia...
Alexander of Lossia...
If they wanted to integrate the Land of Qin, they had to defeat the East.
But if they wanted to defeat the East, they had to integrate the Land of Qin.
This was an endless cycle.
An unsolvable cycle!
