He was not in a hurry to dig out the Earth Spirit Clan's experts buried at the bottom of the mountain. He would wait for them to dig themselves out. When they were exhausted, he could capture them and bring them back as samples.
One could never have too many samples.
The celebration banquet would be held ten days later, and the Earth Spirit Clan would need at least a few months to leave the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.
Moreover, they had changed their route, so they might spend more time.
That was because there was nothing to eat on the way here. Everything that could be eaten had been eaten by them.
Even with the ferocious beasts that had just moved over, it would be difficult for them to sustain the remaining four thousand Earth Spirits.
The people who had been monitoring the Earth Spirits had to continue watching them.
However, everyone was much more relaxed now.
Back then, the Earth Spirit Race's army of tens of thousands had brought a similar number of ferocious beasts. Even the weakest among them had the strength of a Blessed Heaven, and there were close to a hundred Longevity Heaven experts.
If it had been the human race in the past, this group of Earth Spirits would have been able to kill all of them.
It took a few days to clean up and repair Guang Bi City. Since it was already built, there was no need to not make use of it.
Only after everyone had recovered from their injuries did they start the celebratory feast.
The casualties of the Human Race were not small. In the end, Black Sky God's three slaps killed 10,000 people. However, by paying such a price, he managed to gain a few more years.
According to previous calculations, the longest would be six years, and the shortest would be three years.
If the Black Sky God directly sent down some kind of divine decree, the Earth Spirit Clan's army would attack in another three years.
Furthermore, his strength was several times stronger than it was now.
At that time, it was very likely that the Black God would strike again. No matter how much confidence he had in the empress, Ren Baqian didn't think that the empress would have the strength to contend against the Black God after three years.
However, Ren Baqian wasn't too worried about this. At most, he would just bombard the invading enemy with a rain of nuclear bombs. So what if the Black Sky God descended again? From the previous time, it could be seen that if he wanted to make a move, there were many restrictions.
The war between the races wasn't something that could be decided by an expert who was restricted in various ways.
After the celebratory feast, Er Hua, who had just arrived at An Chuan City's largest protectorate, stuck out his tongue at the empress and said, "I won't be a third wheel and disturb the two of you. Other people only live apart for a few months, but you two have been apart for more than ten years. "
"Get lost!" Ren Baqian waved his hand in disdain.
"Am I your biological child? Oh, it's a gift from topping up the game? Since you're my father, I won't complain to the queen about you staying at the brothel every night. "Honeysuckle made a face and skipped out of the room.
Ren Baqian, "…"
Everyone else has a cotton-padded jacket, but my cotton-padded jacket is full of knives.
The empress looked at Ren Baqian and revealed a spurious smile.
She didn't really care about Er Hua's nonsense. Even though Ren Baqian often went to brothels, he still behaved himself and never stayed overnight.
But that did not prevent her from frightening him a little.
Since they were husband and wife, they had to have a little fun with the whip and candles.
Fortunately, Ren Baqian wasn't easily intimidated. After so many years, an honest person had also become a troublemaker.
He got up, walked behind the empress, hugged her, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
It had been a long time since the two of them were together like this.
Relax and be at ease.
Moreover, it smelled so good.
Ren Baqian felt a little restless, but he didn't dare to move.
The empress was already at the pinnacle of the Longevity Heaven level, while he himself was still at the Earth Wheel level. He was just one step away from reaching the Path to Heaven.
If he moved, he was afraid that only one of them would survive tonight.
That person definitely wouldn't be him.
"What exactly is that Black God?" Ren Baqian had been pondering this question for a long time.
He had also interrogated those Earth Spirit Race experts for a long time and obtained some information.
The Black God had never shown its face. It lived in the so-called "God Realm."
This was similar to any religion. It was too lowly for a god to live with a human.
However, the Black God could attack from an unknown distance. At that time, it even broke a hole in the sky. This made Ren Baqian somewhat believe it.
To be able to do this, it wasn't impossible that the Black God didn't live in this world.
"It definitely isn't a god," the empress said.
"Of course not." Ren Baqian's mouth twitched.
Even though it wasn't a god, the Black God's strength couldn't be underestimated and could be considered terrifying.
Ren Baqian was just curious about what exactly this Black God was.
"I wonder how the Black God compares to the six Sky Lords," Ren Baqian muttered.
The empress was silent for a moment before saying, "In another three years, I will definitely be able to take that step. Maybe I can pry a thing or two."
"Okay," Ren Baqian replied softly. The gap was still too big, and he couldn't even touch the edge or make a guess.
Late at night, the two of them talked in bed for half the night. They didn't share their feelings as they weren't like that.
After a moment of intimacy, they talked a lot about the situation in Dayao over the past few years and how it would develop in the next few years.
After the battle, the others could relax a little, but the two of them couldn't relax for even a moment.
Three days later, they dug out all the Earth Spirit Race experts buried at the bottom of the mountain and returned to Dayao.
The Earth Spirit Race hadn't left the Sixty Thousand Mountains yet, and they weren't in a hurry to rush to the wall between the two worlds. Moreover, many people wanted to go back and take a look.
On the plane, Shi Gan, Tong Lan, and the others looked at Ren Baqian and wanted to say something.
"Say it, what's the matter?" Ren Baqian was in a good mood.
"Your Highness, can we still graduate in this lifetime?" Shi Gan and the others couldn't help but ask.
Although they didn't personally participate in this battle, they watched it from a very close distance, which had a great impact on them.
They really wanted to do something and couldn't hold back some of their thoughts.
"Do you think the academy will support you for a lifetime? When I feel that you can handle things independently, I will naturally let you preside over some research. "Ren Baqian laughed.
"Come on, the value we have created for the academy is already enough to support us for a lifetime. Tell me, when will you be magnanimous? "Tong Lan pouted.
In the past, she worshipped the empress and learned everything she said and did from her.
Now, she still worshipped the empress, but her expression and demeanor when she spoke were similar to Ren Baqian's.
However, she was much prettier.
Ren Baqian thought about it and felt that these people were almost there, and they could handle things independently.
"Almost there, I just need to take the postdoctoral exam."
As soon as he said this, everyone's face turned green.
Listen, is this what a human should say?
Can't you be more human?
"Believe it or not, I'll jump down and die for you!" Xu Peng looked sad and indignant.
Everyone looked at Ren Baqian as if they were looking at an irreconcilable enemy.
"Alright, I was just saying. Go back and divide yourselves into small groups, set a target, and let me review it. If you pass the review, each group will be in charge of one project. If you succeed, I will issue you a graduation certificate. After that, you can stay or leave as you wish. If you don't want to do postdoctoral studies in the academy, you can enter the research institute." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"You can't go back on your words!"
"All of you are already quite grown up, yet you are still so childish." Ren Baqian sneered.
He sighed in his heart. It could be said that he had watched these children grow up.
From counting with their fingers and toes, they were now doctoral students. All of them had participated in many projects and could be considered talents even on Earth.
Now, the oldest among them was already in his early thirties.
Now that the children had grown up, their wings had hardened, and it was time for them to fly.
