Tang Shidao left Turtle Shell City and traveled around Shuihua Planet alone, searching for legendary spiritual beasts.
The contents of their discussion were soon sent back to Earth Emperor Planet and caused an uproar.
All along.
The big shots of the various factions were all looking forward to the appearance of the Spirit Turtle Breathing Technique. Now, they heard that it was just trash and grayish. Above the three breathing techniques, there were three Nurturing Techniques, and above the three Nurturing Techniques, there were three Life Extending Techniques … Who knew if there were any more amazing techniques above the Life Extending Techniques. Hearing this news, the major forces didn't know how to react.
Secretly, a special organization began to invite members for a discussion.
It was called: Death Exemption Club!
"Friends from Zulong Nation, for the first and only time, the Four Way Federation asks you to be honest. Have you contacted the Liu Clan?"
"No." Zulong Nation also exchanged 20 death exemption rings and sent 20 people to participate in this special meeting.
"Have you found any clues?"
"No."
"Can you please say with your own beliefs that you're not lying?"
"I'm willing to swear with the souls of all the heroes in Zulong Nation's 5,000 years of history that I'm not lying!"
"Okay, we believe you. The next topic is … What does the Liu Clan want to do? Where are they? I swear that other than Zulong Nation, we've searched the entire Earth Emperor Planet, but there's still no trace of them. Friends from Zulong Nation, you told me you didn't find them either. I believe you're more powerful than us, and I believe you're not lying. Okay, may I ask, where is the Liu Clan? "
"Liuyuan Temple recently opened two portals. Can you make a bold guess that the Liu Clan could do it before?"
"We did think so, friends from Zulong Nation. That's why we have to think deeply about what they want to do. In terms of force, they have the ability to conquer everything even now. Even if we try our best to resist, we're the ones who will suffer in the end. In terms of age, before we were born, Liuyuan Temple already had the power to crush everything. Why didn't he do it then? "
"Is this a good or evil assessment?"
"We have to guess maliciously, friends from Zulong Nation."
"For example, are you afraid that they'll steal our gold? Oil? Diamonds? Water? Or money that's dirty even if you wipe your ass? "
"…"
"My friends from the Federation, have you thought of another problem? For example, Planet Shuihua?"
"Friend from the Ancestral Dragon Nation, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, Shuihua Planet has four siblings, I believe all of you do not doubt this."
"Of course, there are nine different worlds behind the black door."
"Let me make a bold conjecture. What if the civilizations of the other four siblings are different? What should we do? Do you guys understand? Shuihua Planet is equivalent to our ancient society from a thousand years ago. Then, could one of the other four planets be our interstellar civilization 'a thousand years later'? "
"…"
"My friends from the Federation, if there is such a possibility, then even if we find the portal, we will not be able to find it. What would the price be? Please don't joke about saving the world like in the movies. We all know that's impossible. When a higher civilization collides with a lower civilization, we will be crushed. There's no Liu Clan in Shui Hua Planet, we only need a few tanks to flatten Shui Hua Planet. "
"Do you mean that the Liu Family Clan might be protecting us?"
"Maybe, I'm not sure. The sociologists who went to Shuihua Planet have suggested this possibility. They think that the other four planets might not have a lower civilization. They even made a bold conjecture that the people from the Liu Clan must have seen an interstellar civilization before. So, maybe they don't even know what's behind the teleportation door. On the other hand, they think that our Earth Emperor Planet is not ready to face these unknown dangers. "
"…"
"Please don't be silent, my friends from the Federation. We also need your opinions. Now that the teleportation door to Moon Emperor Planet has opened, I think the competition between us is already like a fight between brothers. Now, we might even have to face the guests outside the door, or even evil guests. Do you remember the earthquake prediction device that Tang Shidao brought back? We did some research on it and found that it's a type of super alloy. "
"You guys have researched it?"
"No, we only know. It's just like how the backward countries on Earth Emperor Planet saw us launch a satellite. We only know that it's still far from analysis, research, manufacturing, mass production and so on. It might take a few decades, or a few centuries. Anyway, I'll be honest. The 'distance' between us and it can be seen, but the 'Djinn' is a technology that we can't see. "
"Friend from Ancestral Dragon Nation, do you suspect that the earthquake prediction device was stolen or bought?"
"Maybe. No matter what, it's definitely the worst technology of the Liu Clan. Do you know why we're against attacking Aqua Radiance Planet? Because we don't know what the other four planets are. If one of them is an interstellar civilization, and we annihilate their brothers and sisters, the consequences will be unimaginable. Now, at least we're still friends. "
"Indeed. Although we don't know if the other four planets have evil intentions, at least we're friends with their brothers and sisters. "
"Think a little further, my friends from the Federation. After the nine black doors, there are nine worlds. Aqua Radiance Planet is connected to four new worlds. Then, in the vast universe, are there really only 15 planets with life? Since we know about the nine black doors, I believe that everyone no longer thinks that 'Earth Emperor is the only one'. If there's a Liu Clan, at least … "
"They're still our shield."
"Yes. Destroying the black door's base point can make it ineffective and last for a period of time. Once there's a danger of extinction, we can send a group of people to the other nine dangerous worlds to preserve the last spark. My friends from the Federation, what do you think? "
"This is our ancestor's foresight. He left us nine escape routes."
"What about the other way around?"
"Our ancestor already knew about this danger, so … Yes, the Liu Clan also knows. Friends from Zu Long, do you mean that they're doing the same thing as our ancestor? "
"Very likely. In short, we haven't seen the danger yet. Strengthening the body, youth, longevity, these are all good things. Sociologists have discussed this before. If the Liu Clan provides us with a more advanced technology, such as building a spaceship, should we take it or not? "
"Of course we should … Wait, wait, could it be …"
"They have a paradox. If we have such a spaceship but don't have a strong military force to match it. Once this spaceship is spied on by a higher civilization, what should we do? In an ocean, sharks that surface are always easier to find. Isn't a spaceship more like a shark? "
"…"
At this point in the meeting, everyone was silent.
Yes or no, there was no answer. It was like an alien suddenly came and said, "I'll give you a flying saucer."
Yes or no, there was no choice.
The longer you stretched your hand, the easier it was to be discovered. This was for sure. It wasn't that a lower civilization was safer, but that half a bucket of water might be more dangerous. From another point of view, if the aliens found Earth Emperor Planet and Shuihua Planet and beat them until they couldn't fight back, which one was more likely to survive … 100%, Shuihua Planet, because the environment there was too good.
"We also need the Liu Clan as a shield."
"Agreed."
The first informal meeting of the Death-Avoidance Club ended. Everyone's opinion was the same.
In fact.
They didn't guess wrong.
Tang Shidao had already sent out the Ancient Golems to look for life races, including the 'immigrants' taken away by the Snake Mage. In such a big plane of the universe, Tang Shidao didn't believe that only Earth Emperor Planet had people. Besides Shuihua Planet and the four sister planets, there must be countless life races. Since there were, there might also be races with a higher civilization.
In terms of the power of technology, Tang Shidao wasn't worried about the aliens playing tricks.
In the Mage Web.
Magic was the boss, technology didn't have a say. Even if technology was strong enough to end the entire plane of the world, powerhouses like the scarecrow could easily return it to its original state. Or, when technology was developed to the extreme, it was no different from magic.
So.
Most people thought that aliens were dangerous, but mages didn't think so. Tang Shidao himself didn't only see aliens every day, but also 'people from other planes' every day.
Leaving all the chores aside.
He focused on looking for clues left behind by the Snake Mage. After flying for a few days, Tang Shidao still didn't find anything good. In the myths and legends of Shuihua Nation, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise and the Qilin all existed, and there were also sacrifices in some places. No matter from which angle, this was the most reliable clue.
However.
Tang Shidao flew all over the mountains and forests, searching all the famous mountains and rivers, but still found nothing.
In the wilderness of Shuihua Planet.
All kinds of giant beasts were really not rare. They didn't reach the level of 'magical beasts', but they were far beyond the level of ordinary beasts. Unfortunately, they couldn't be compared to the imagined spiritual beasts and strange beasts, and their bodies hadn't been embedded and 'optimized' by living creatures. Obviously, these super beasts weren't his goal.
Now Tang Shidao still had two doubts.
The Snake Mage's problem. Should he find the 'answer' himself, or should he do it himself?
Find and do it.
These were two different choices.
In terms of ability, Tang Shidao wasn't worried that he couldn't make spiritual beasts. With living creatures embedded in them, plus he was a master refiner, creating the five spiritual beasts was really just a matter of time. However, making it might not be the correct answer. A madman like the Snake Mage couldn't be judged with common sense. The most important point was that if nothing happened after making it, it would just be five more toys.
"Young Master, are you selling your turtle?"
Stopping by the lake to catch the turtle, Tang Shidao's' goods' also attracted special attention.
Tang Shidao saw a fat merchant, smiled and threw it to him.
The fat merchant took it: "Thank you for your generous gift, it would be impolite for me to refuse."
Tang Shidao smiled: "It's just a turtle."
The fat merchant cupped his hands and smiled: "This is an opportunity. When I saw you catching the turtle, your clothes weren't wet, and your shoes weren't muddy. I believe you're 'picking up' more than 'catching', right? In fact, it's just a lucky coincidence, right? I see that Gongzi's eyes are filled with worry. Are you upset? Since you gave me the turtle, I'll say a few more words. In the old country of Beihua, there's one person who can solve the knot in everyone's heart. "
"Oh, who is it?"
"The blind fortune-teller." The fat merchant shook the turtle and said: "A fortune-teller who especially likes turtles, a very accurate fortune-teller. I find it strange that you don't know the name of the blind fortune-teller. The blind fortune-teller should be famous all over the world. "
Tang Shidao smiled: "I just left home, I don't know much about the world."
There were also divination spells, but being efficacious was just a joke.
In the eyes of Mages, 100% of the future could be rewritten, only the past was hard to find. When ordinary people said that it was accurate, it was probably a kind of trick, an expert who observed microexpressions in detail. The strange thing was that this blind fortune-teller's name meant blind. Could it be that he was a blind fortune-teller?
If he was blind, then it had nothing to do with observation.
A fortune-teller who liked turtles.
Well …
"Can you take me to broaden my horizons?"
