"The Merlin Family is a famous demigod family. They have a unique sequence power. The first sequence is called [Xizi] … In addition, the Golden Garde Family and the Garcia Family also have their own sequence chains. Unfortunately, I don't know their names …"
Perhaps it was because of the five pounds, but Chris was explaining very diligently.
Chung Shen-soo listened and nodded from time to time.
…
A few hours later.
The three suns gradually set, and the last rays of dusk shone down.
Carleston, Steam Locomotive Terminal.
A train slowly entered the platform. Countless people got off the train and rushed to the exit.
"It's … it's spectacular. There are people everywhere, all kinds of heads …"
Joel said somewhat incoherently.
Chung Shen-soo was experienced and waited patiently. He waited for the crowd to pass before bringing Joel to the back of the crowd and squeezing out of the train station.
Joel looked at the huge square and fountain in front of him, as well as the tall buildings not far away. His mouth gradually opened wide …
Zhong Shenxiu saw even more than him. She saw the majority of the ordinary people with pale and numb faces. She saw the patrolling policemen maintaining order. She saw the towering chimneys not too far away, as well as the countless columns of smoke that shot into the sky.
"As expected … whether it's the East or the West, Extraordinaires are the minority. Ordinary people are the mainstream!
"And … perhaps the Clement Kingdom has already completed the initial stages of vaporization? What a miracle … "
He just didn't know how many churches had secretly pushed for it.
"Such a kingdom's ability to mobilize and equip is quite terrifying. If not for the existence of mysterious forces, even if the territory's population is smaller than the Second Empire's, once the war starts, there is a high chance of victory … Unfortunately, in this world dominated by Extraordinaires, technology is not completely useless, but before it can be used to create weapons that can threaten the Primal Core, or at least Divine Powers, it is not very useful …"
Even if there were millions of troops equipped with flintlock guns, without the Undead Immortals, a Dharmakaya would die on the battlefield!
Therefore, whether it was the East or the West, it was the cultivators who firmly grasped power.
The old Emperor of the Yan Han was able to ascend the throne and rule the world because of the Undead Immortals and Dharmakayas of the royal family!
"Hmm … I feel like if that Lord Zhang Zhen Jun suddenly showed up in Carreston, the scene would be very explosive. Perhaps the effect would be comparable to a nuclear bomb … But I have to take into account the fact that the opponent's powerhouses would retaliate as well. In the end, it would be a lose-lose situation …"
"Although the Second Empire was caught off guard in this war, it's clear that they can still fight …"
The Second Empire was actually quite powerful after the new law was added. A mere Clement Kingdom was definitely no match for it.
Even back then, the destruction of the number one empire was due to the combined efforts of the West.
In Chung Shen-soo's eyes, the reason why they lost in the early stage and were forced into the territory was because of Clement's first-mover advantage.
In an ordinary army, the use of steam locomotives and other tools could achieve rapid troop movements.
And in the domain of Beyonders, how could a Church that believed in the Door of All Doors not be proficient in techniques like teleportation?
It wasn't like the East didn't have this kind of long-distance projection technology and instant communication through various prayer networks.
But the Clement Kingdom could go down to the grassroots level and react quickly.
The Second Empire, on the other hand, was in a state of internal strife because of the previous major event.
"Only when I reach the capital can I accurately assess the war potential of a country …"
Chung Shen-soo secretly estimated that if the Second Empire didn't react in time, it would definitely be at a disadvantage at the beginning.
Then, the Clement Kingdom would fall into a quagmire. After all, with the power of a single kingdom, it was impossible to fight against the ancient empires of the East.
When it also suffered a huge setback, it might ask for help from the other two kingdoms, the Purple Flower and Enrique Kingdom. Even the Xiting Empire might take action.
Under the premise that true gods couldn't easily descend, the power of the East and the West should not be too different.
The two sides might start a repeated tug-of-war in the Fufeng Protectorate.
As for the time, it might take decades, or even centuries!
This was also the reason why Chung Shen-soo wanted to evacuate his close friends.
There might even be a battle between the Dharmakaya and Undead Immortals. Even nine lives would not be enough to kill them.
"In the end, the battle of the Seven Planets still depends on the cultivators …"
Like Joel, Chung Shen-soo stared at the huge flow of people in the square, but in fact, he was silently counting the number of Extraordinaires hidden within.
"Really … it seems that the ratio of Extraordinaires to ordinary people is about the same as that of the cultivators of the Central Plains …"
"It seems that climbing to an Extraordinaire, or rather, an occupation, is also very difficult and risky."
"Then … we'll leave first."
Beside him, Kerry took off his hat. "If you want to find me, go to the Medici Royal Academy …"
"Mr. Li Wei …"
Joel's voice was filled with obvious panic, as if he was afraid that others would leave him behind.
After all, this city was so huge and unfamiliar. The cold steel and concrete buildings seemed to be filled with hostility towards strangers.
"Joel … You have to learn to live on your own. Based on what Chris said before, you can look around in East York. There are cheap shared rental houses there, but you can't sleep on park benches or under bridges. Those are the areas that the security officers patrol."
"Of course, if you encounter any trouble, you can go to the Royal Academy and look for Kerry … When I find a stable place to stay, I'll go to him and leave my contact information."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand, beckoned for a rental carriage, and swiftly closed the door.
"Sir …"
Joel felt like crying, but he also knew that he had no reason to continue relying on Mr. Li Wei. He could only put on a long face and look at the huge buildings and the flow of people in fear, like a panicked little beast that had just come out of the jungle.
He didn't have much money, so he couldn't ride a carriage. He could only walk to East York.
Fortunately, the citizens of Carliston were kind. If he asked a few more questions, there would always be people willing to give him directions.
The more Joel walked, the more he smelled a pungent odor.
He had originally thought optimistically that the conditions in East York might be okay. He didn't have high requirements for living conditions, and he had even slept in a grass nest at home.
However, after turning a corner, he stopped in his tracks in a daze.
Low, dilapidated shacks, rubbish piled up on the roads, and the stench of decay filled the sewers.
The pedestrians' clothes were ragged, and they looked worse than beggars. Most of them were pale and skinny, coughing from time to time as if they were suffering from a serious illness.
Everyone's face was pale and numb.
Occasionally, he could see street girls with heavy makeup on the side of the road. Most of them were very young, and some were part-time female workers and maids …
Thinking of Kerry and Mr. Li Wei's description, Joel's expression gradually stiffened. His lungs felt like they were being squeezed, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.
His dreams had been shattered once again …
