Competition.
Competition was everywhere in this world.
There was competition between civilizations. However, in a gradually stabilizing environment, there would also be competition within intelligent civilizations.
After all, resources were always limited. No matter how big the living space was, it would be filled sooner or later.
Moreover, the Earth was not big, but it was crowded with nearly 20 billion intelligent beings. Even though the Protoss had built many dimensional spaces, it was still extremely crowded.
So after the basic survival crisis was resolved, most of the indigenous people — humans — were squeezed out. Under the leadership of the Protoss, the biggest contradiction on the Earth gradually shifted from external to internal.
The competition between the various Protoss clans became increasingly fierce.
However, under the constraints of the Protoss' upper echelons, coupled with the fact that the destructive practitioners could easily damage the relatively fragile Earth and destroy the ecological environment, the conflicts between the various clans had been controlled to a relatively small scale.
Therefore, many human clans, companies, and forces had become soft persimmons that could be kneaded. In recent years, they had been swallowed up by the Protoss clans.
The method was simple and crude, not much different from robbery.
After the big and small pieces of fat meat were divided up, before the internal conflicts of the Protoss clans broke out, the Chen family became the last piece of fat meat that had not been swallowed.
It was incomparably delicious and full of great temptation.
The Jinwu clan, as the shelter of the Chen family, collected more than a trillion "protection fees" every year, bringing more than a 30% increase in profits.
But desire was something that could never be satisfied.
50% was far from enough. Only after swallowing all of it would they feel a little bit full.
Moreover, the Chen family had mastered high-precision processing technology. They had a huge entertainment empire, as well as "knowledge bank," "virtual technology," and other technologies that even the Protoss were tempted by.
If they swallowed the entire Chen family, digested all the heritage of the Chen family, and strengthened their own forces according to their own plans, a rough estimate would be that no matter which Protoss clan it was, their strength would more than double.
Yes, in the eyes of some of the top Protoss clans, the Chen family was an existence comparable to the top clans. Once swallowed, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, and their strength would skyrocket.
Of course!
The Chen family was not a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will. For so many years, the Chen family had invested almost all their space resources into weapon research and development and the expansion of armaments. They had built a family base with an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers into a huge military fortress, and piled countless weapons inside.
It gave people a feeling of militarism.
Even many Protoss, after noticing the exaggerated military fortress, wondered if the Chen family was suffering from paranoia. They were actually so afraid of death.
But it was also because of this that all the average mid-level Protoss clans gave up on the idea of swallowing up the Chen family.
This was also the reason why the Jinwu clan did not immediately take action against Chen Jin after they became the "shelter" of the Chen clan. This was also because they were assessing the losses of forcibly annexing the Chen clan. They wanted to understand the ins and outs of the Chen clan and formulate the most suitable action plan.
In the end, they decided to send eight masters from the Shenguang Order. They were prepared to lose 30 masters below the Jushen Order. With more than 90% confidence, they finally made up their minds.
"The Chen Family, the most powerful family among the human forces, will soon be ours!"
The upper echelon of the Jinwu Clan said excitedly. They had even decided on the distribution plan in advance for the final spoils of war.
"By the way, Xing Hai Entertainment has dozens of A-list female stars. I want all of them, especially Qian Shan Xue Ye. This woman belongs to me."
A talented young man from the Jinwu clan said while licking his dry lips. Qian Shan Xue Ye was a superstar actress of Xing Hai Entertainment. She had appeared in dozens of excellent films and TV series. She was a first-class female singer and had released nearly 100 songs. She had countless fans.
Moreover, she had outstanding looks, an elegant temperament, and was brimming with talent.
On social media platforms, she had more than a billion fans following her. She was an idol worshipped by countless people.
She was also a money-making tool for Xing Hai Entertainment, bringing in countless profits every year.
Speaking of Qian Shan Xue Ye, the young man from the Jinwu clan was breathing heavily and his face was flushed. There was no doubt that he was also one of Qian Shan Xue Ye's fans. He worshipped her very much.
This time, he was considering taking advantage of the opportunity of swallowing up the Chen family to realize his dream of obtaining the body and mind of that goddess. Of course, it was not bad to obtain her body first.
Upon hearing his words.
The eyes of many other members of the upper echelon of the Jinwu clan in the main hall also lit up.
"There are really a lot of celebrities and beauties in Xing Hai Entertainment. If we destroy the Chen family, those dozens of celebrities …"
"Haha, let's hold a celebratory banquet in a few days. Call all those celebrities over and have them serve us drinks."
"Nephew, that Qian Shan Xue Ye is my wife's idol. It's quite inappropriate for you to occupy her. Why don't I take care of her for a while? After a while, I'll introduce her to you." There were even more elders who rolled their eyes. Their brains were occupied by all kinds of evil thoughts.
"No! Qian Shan Xue Ye is mine. No one is allowed to snatch her from me! "
The young Protoss almost exploded with rage. He released a boundless aura. He was so agitated that he wanted to kill someone on the spot.
Amidst the commotion, many of the upper echelon of the Jinwu clan were breathing heavily. Their eyes were full of anticipation.
…
Through a tiny monitor that was hard to see with the naked eye.
Every move within the Jinwu clan was under Chen Jin's control.
He couldn't help but clench his fists. His face was full of anger.
"Do all of you really think that the Chen family is a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered?"
He looked at another screen.
Almost at the same time, in a mysterious hall, the representatives of the Tonghuang clan and the Mugu clan met together. They agreed that each side would send half of their masters to rush into the Chen family. They would strive to slaughter the Chen family in the shortest time possible and destroy or take away their scientific and technological achievements or information.
They had to act fast and ruthlessly!
Even if they did not get the Chen family's advanced technology, they could not let the Jinwu clan take advantage of them. They must use all their strength to hinder them!
Chen Jin's brows furrowed.
The purpose of the Jinwu clan was to "annex" the Chen family. After disintegrating the Chen family's resistance, they would then digest the Chen family's resources. They would not necessarily kill many people.
The Tonghuang clan and the Mugu clan, on the other hand, were purely destructive. They did not want to leave too many people alive. They only wanted to end the battle quickly and did not consider holding back. The potential destructive power was huge.
If Chen Jin had a choice, he did not want to face the joint forces of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans.
However, the Tonghuang and Mugu clans planned to take action three days later.
There were many factions within the Jinwu clan. They had serious disputes over the distribution of interests. They had planned to take action in these two days, but they might not be able to resolve their differences and carry out the operation as scheduled.
It was currently impossible to determine which side would take action first.
As for Chen Jin, who had already grasped the key information, what was he going to do next?
He returned to Haierfa and discussed with Nuwa, Alice, and the others.
…
"Nuwa, there are at most two or three days left. What should I do on Earth?"
Chen Jin scratched his head. He was in a dilemma.
"Master, if you don't want to be damaged, you can only take action first. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Chen family's fortress to withstand the attack," Nuwa said.
"I know."
Chen Jin nodded. At this point, the only choice was to strike first and gain the upper hand. However, "Which clan should I strike first in order to resolve the Chen family's crisis?"
There were a few options here.
One option was to launch an attack on the Jinwu clan, inflicting heavy damage or erasing the Jinwu clan. While eliminating the threat, he could also divert the attention of the other two clans.
Two, strike at the Tonghuang and Mugu clans, inflicting heavy damage or erasing these two clans. While eliminating the threat on one side, he could also divert the attention of the Jinwu clan.
Three, strike at the three Protoss clans at the same time and eliminate all the clans that were malicious to the Chen family in one go.
Chen Jin first ruled out the second option.
"Even if the Tonghuang and Mugu clans are severely injured and the Jinwu clan's attention is diverted, it will only be for a few days. After that, the Jinwu clan will still carry out the previous plan and continue to devour the Chen family. It can only delay them for a short period of time."
On the contrary, after the second and third brothers were seriously injured, the strength of the Jinwu clan would probably become even stronger and more difficult to resist.
Among the remaining two options, Chen Jin thought about it and ruled out the third option.
"Strike at the three clans at the same time and eliminate three threats. But after the investigation by the Protoss, they will coincidentally discover that these three clans have recently been conspiring against the Chen family, but they were attacked at the same time. It is clear at a glance who the biggest suspect is."
At that time, the Chen family would be facing the Protoss forces of the entire Earth and the oppression of countless Protoss.
Even though the trump card in his hand was very strong, it was impossible to fight against more than ten billion Protoss.
Once it was revealed, the Chen family would be finished. He could only flee to Haierfa to hide and would not dare to return.
Then, there was only one option left: strike at the Jinwu clan.
"Master, the reason why the Tonghuang and Mugu clans want to deal with the Chen family is that the Jinwu clan's strength has increased too quickly in the past two years, which made them feel threatened. For the sake of balance, they can only strike at the Chen family."
"However, if we launch an attack on the Jinwu clan and inflict heavy losses on them, the Tonghuang and Mugu clans will immediately lose the reason to keep the Jinwu clan in check. There will be no need to continue to unite against the Chen family."
"After the Jinwu clan is hit hard, the profits that will be released will trigger a large-scale chaos. The Tonghuang and Mugu clans are bound to join in. At least, they can buy a few months' time."
"After a few months, the Tonghuang and Mugu clans should still have the idea of devouring the Chen family. But there is basically no possibility of the two clans joining forces. They will only target the Chen family individually to maximize their own interests … It is better for one person to devour the Chen family than for two people to share it equally."
"However, at that time, the Chen family will have made sufficient preparations in all aspects. Even if they cannot resist the practitioners of the Shenguang order, the Chen family's fortress will still have the confidence to inflict damage on those who are below the Shenguang order. The forces that make a move must be prepared to face losses."
"Of course, the best choice is to take the initiative to win over the Tonghuang and Mugu clans. Part of the profits will be divided to temporarily appease them. At the same time, they will show a certain degree of self-protection so that they will have some scruples."
"If the above measures don't work, and there are still forces that want to destroy the Chen family, then we can only choose to lay our cards on the table, completely play our trump card, and try to kill as many Protoss as possible."
However, Chen Jin still did not want to go to that last step.
"Okay, that's the only way."
Chen Jin nodded. A murderous look flashed in his eyes. "Let's let the Jinwu clan have a taste of the power of our trump card."
…
The next day, at four o 'clock in the morning.
Even the Protoss had fallen into a deep sleep at this moment.
At this time.
Outside the East China Sea, the Mariana Trench, the seabed was 10,000 meters deep.
A huge submarine with a length of more than 200 meters seemed to have awakened from a deep sleep. It suddenly activated the water sprinklers around it and drilled out of the seabed mud.
It stirred up the deep sea until it was extremely muddy.
Five thousand meters … four thousand meters … three thousand meters …
The mysterious submarine continued to rise. Like a shadow, like an ancient giant beast, it moved toward the shallow water.
Glug glug glug ~
Many bubbles were produced on the surface of the submarine made of special materials.
One thousand meters … eight hundred meters … five hundred meters …
The submarine slowed down its rising speed. The water sprinklers at the tail started. The submarine began to adjust its attitude and direction to maintain relative balance.
Three hundred meters … two hundred meters … one hundred meters.
The submarine was fixed.
Then, several mechanical sounds sounded inside the fully intelligent cockpit.
"Receiving target positioning parameters …"
"Parameters loaded successfully. Activating the missile and warhead. Opening the launch cover …"
"Ready to launch!"
"Launch begins!"
Boom boom boom ~
Glug glug glug glug ~
After the launch cover was opened, a thick missile wrapped in a large number of water bubbles quickly flew toward the surface of the water with the help of the ejector.
In just a few seconds, a water column rushed out of the calm sea. Then, the engine ignited. Such a thick missile, dragging a dazzling tail flame, first shot straight into the sky. Then, according to the positioning parameters of the seeker, it headed in a certain direction in the northwest.
The speed was getting faster and faster.
The altitude was getting higher and higher. Soon, it entered outer space.
Then, it entered the atmosphere again. Its speed continued to increase.
Mach 5 … Mach 10 … Mach 20.
It took this missile only more than five minutes to reach a distance of nearly two thousand kilometers.
…
The base camp of the Jinwu clan.
This was a free city covering an area of more than 50,000 square kilometers.
The Jinwu clan occupied the most central area of this area and built a temple-like city surrounded by nine other cities.
The essence of the entire free city was concentrated in this area.
Most of the masters of the Jinwu clan, a huge amount of resources, and a dimensional space entrance were all concentrated within a radius of 100 kilometers.
But at this time, in the southeast sky, a pillar of light, like a meteor, fell straight toward this side.
Just as the pillar of light was about to approach, giving people a palpitating feeling.
The resplendent meteor suddenly split into ten, each corresponding to the central divine hall and the nine citadels. It drew a bright red trajectory as it arrived above the ten targets.
Then.
The dark sky was dyed pure white.
Ten suns suddenly appeared in the night sky.
Circles of ring-shaped shock waves destroyed everything on the surface.
…
Early the next morning.
A piece of news shocked the entire solar system at the speed of light:
The Jinwu clan suffered a mysterious attack. Ten cities were turned into ruins. Countless powerful cultivators fell. More than a million innocent Protoss were killed or injured.
