Chapter 370: The Vicious Cycle

Chapter 370: The Vicious Cycle

Middle ancient world, Chang’an City, imperial palace.

Meng Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt something. Under his bronze body, the engraved arrays were slowly rotating.

Faintly, there seemed to be a wave of psionic power reverberating in the array.

“Ancestral Dragon!” He raised his head.

Only Ancestral Dragon had the ability to directly send orders to his array.

However…

He was sensing the obscure psionic power signal in the array formation.

“I…”

“confer…”

“General…”

He managed to decipher these words from the obscure psionic power signal.

“General?”

“Ancestral Dragon wants to confer a general?!”

As a loyal official, Meng Yi immediately stood up.

“No!”

“I must return to Ancestral Dragon’s command immediately!”

Ancestral Dragon was actually going to confer a general!

This meant that he was in a war.

Moreover, the situation might be very critical at the moment!

That was why he conferred the general!

Thus, Meng Yi directly walked out of the huge palace that Xinghan Kingdom had built for him.

He raised his head and looked at the starry sky, trying to sense the location of the psionic power signal.

But…

He got nothing!

“D*mn, that traitor Zhao Gao…” Meng Yi couldn’t help getting angry. “He destroyed the astronomical observatory… Otherwise, I would definitely able to sense the source of Ancestral Dragon’s signal!”

Immortal Qin Empire had once built a magnificent astronomical observatory with thirty Star Masters pouring their entire lives into it.

Ancestral Dragon had even personally merged one of his incarnations into it.

Thus, with the help of the astronomical observatory, Immortal Qin Empire could survey the star paths, head to the myriad worlds, and conquer the vassals.

However, the astronomical observatory had already been destroyed by Zhao Gao.

And Ancestral Dragon’s signal seemed to have been seriously interfered since then. Only a few vague words could be heard.

It was simply not enough to determine its direction.

However…

Meng Yi turned around and walked back to the palace.

He believed that sooner or later, Ancestral Dragon would send out a psionic power signal again.

By then, his signal might be even clearer.

Perhaps, it might come with a location.

At that time, it would not be too late for him to follow him!

…

Ling Ping’an sat at the counter and ate his breakfast.

The kitten, who had just been conferred the title of ‘General of rat extermination’, arrogantly patrolled the interior of the bookstore. She looked here and there as if she had really taken up her post and become the general of rat extermination in the bookstore. She swore to drag the rats out of the corner of the bookstore and bring them to justice.

Ling Ping’an couldn’t help shaking his head as he watched.

“Bastet!” He shouted.

That kitten immediately ran in front of him, looking at Ling Ping’an cutely with her furry little brains.

“Good girl…” Ling Ping’an couldn’t help but pat her head, “There are no rats here!”

There had never been rats in this bookstore of the Ling family.

In the past, there were cockroaches, ants, bees, and so on.

Yet, in these years, even these things had disappeared.

Not only that, the entire street was like this.

Meow!

The little kitten meowed softly, stucking out her tongue and licked the back of her owner’s hand.

Seeing this, Ling Ping’an shook his head, “Alright… Alright…”

“You can continue if you like!”

Meow!

The little kitten let out a happy cry, then skillfully jumped into the counter and crouched in a corner.

Ling Ping’an continued to eat his breakfast.

…

He Rourou drove to the dormitory building she had bought.

The construction site had already stopped operating.

The latest order from the Blackguard had been issued and commercial residential development was prohibited.

Only a few designated development uses were allowed and all developments had to be declared in advance.

In front of power, the Lion City Group naturally could only tuck its tail between its legs and obediently listen to orders, not daring to resist at all.

Even Guangnan local tyrant, Xingye Group of Zheng family, was the same.

There was no other way. This land had never been a land where capital had the final say since ancient times.

Capital was always a tool.

However, He Rourou did not show the slightest bit of worry.

She went up to the roof and looked down at the construction site.

“The pressure on the Board of Directors is a little high…” A board member sent by the company to assist her said softly behind her, “There are already some opinions…”

He Rourou smiled contemptuously.

The opinions of the Board of Directors?

She never cared because the opinions of those people were not worth mentioning!

The board member also understood that this young lady would not care. So, he could only lower his head and say, “The royal family also has opinions…”

He Rourou sneered, “Those greasy fat guy, do they deserve to raise opinions with me?”

Kingdom Samboja had never had a powerful government.

Logically speaking, Kingdom Samboja wasn’t part of the ‘World’.

Moreover, since the era of Taizong in Federal Empire, they had signed a series of friendly trade treaties with the Federal Empire.

In particular, the Regional Comprehensive Partnership Treaty that was signed fifty years ago had given the royal family sufficient legitimacy.

Otherwise, the forces in Kingdom Samboja would have long left the incompetent royal family behind.

Even so, under the banner of local autonomy, fragmentation had been formed by the various forces of Kingdom Samboja.

Whether they listened to the tune or not, this was already the current situation in many places, including Lion City.

The royal family orders would not leave the capital.

This meant that every year, when they took loans and preferential industrial products from the Federal Empire, the royal family would be promoted as the mascot, proving that the kingdom was still united.

Therefore, in He Rourou’s eyes, the royal family was like a monkey in the zoo.

The board member 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 board member afraid to look at her.

“Go back and tell those guys!” He Rourou raised her head, “There’s no need for them to interrupt the operation of the group!”

“They just need to sit quietly and wait for the dividends!”

The board member swallowed his saliva helplessly. He could only say, “His Royal Highness has a message for you…”

“Next month, the Crown Prince will lead a group to attend the fellowship party in the capital…”

“His Royal Highness hopes you can go… as this is the…”

He Rourou listened and nodded, “I will go!”

After sending the board member away, He Rourou gently pulled up her bangs.

She walked to the edge of the roof and looked at the 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 residential area to a science and technology park…”

“Release a proposal to attract investment… Invite all the major federal research institutes to bid!”

The plan of developing this place into a commercial residential area was not going to succeed.

However, this had instead created a new opportunity.

He Rourou had already found out the next step of the Blackguard’s deployment.

This place would become the largest technology R&D center in the Guangnan region.

The Imperial Central University and the University of Cambridge in Britannia would form a ‘friendly cooperative partnership’ and jointly build a research institute here.

In addition, the Imperial Institute of Technology and other famous universities around the world were also gathering momentum to join the project.

It was rumored that there were a few well-known scholars from prestigious academies of sciences were actively competing.

How smart was He Rourou?

She knew that this piece of land would become the most precious treasure in her hands.

It might even be a priceless treasure!

Imperial scholars of the Federal Empire…

Those were top figures in the pyramid!

In this country, only the generals of the Blackguard would dare to say that they had higher status compared to these people.

Moreover, the Blackguard could not interfere in the general affairs, so in a certain sense, the true masters and rulers of this country were those grand scholars!

The national policy was formulated after their argumentation.

The national project was implemented after their argumentation.

What was even more amazing was that they could jump out at any time and participate in the governance!

Regardless of whether it was Pax Romana or the Republican, they would welcome these people to participate.

Regardless of which party, they all liked to package themselves as a faction that represented the advancement of science and technology and human progress.

As she thought of this, He Rourou’s eyes were filled with colors because she smelled something that could move her heart.

“This area…” She looked down at her property and followed the direction of the demolished dormitory building to look north and south.

In the distance was the abandoned industrial park, central industrial park, roads, residential areas, schools, business districts…

The area within a radius of 20 kilometers seemed to be tainted with a layer of mystery.

This year’s college entrance exam, the top science scorer came from this region.

The grades of students in this area had skyrocketed.

This region was even known as a ‘literary star blessed land’ for many years.

This was also the reason she had invested in this place in the first place.

But…

Just as Li Bai had said, one did not know the true face of Mount Lu because he was in this mountain!

At first, she was blinded by benefits and could not see it.

Now, with the Blackguard’s ban being issued and the new technology industrial park policy was about to land, she came back to her senses.

“There must be a super expert who can radiate somewhere nearby!”

“Moreover, the person is very likely to be at the immortal level!”

Only such an expert could do this, turning the place where one was into a blessed land!

“Master!” He Rourou’s beautiful eyes were suddenly brilliant and varied.

Only her master could create such an effect!

Only that great master could make the Blackguard tremble in fear like they were treading on thin ice.

But…

Where was her master?

He Rourou looked at the myriad of worlds and her eyes gradually became resolute.

She knew that her master was in this area.

So…

“I will definitely find you…”

“Master…”

…

The large-scale special heavy-haul helicopter slowly lifted the cauldron from the river.

The heavy-haul helicopter that could lift tank made a dull sound.

The huge cauldron in the water swayed.

Li Shouyi had no choice but to take action. He supported the bottom of the huge 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 had been ordered to undertake the transport mission was already in position.

The huge cabin door was opened.

Armed soldiers and members of the Blackguard with all kinds of magical artifacts were on alert.

As the helicopter arrived at the airport, the entire airport immediately became busy.

The huge cauldron was loaded into the cabin with the help of Li Shouyi.

Then, the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard personally boarded the strategic transport plane and flew with it towards the metropolitan territory.

All of this was seen by the satellites in low-earth orbit.

Not just the satellites from Federal Empire, but there were also satellites from the Land of Qin, for example, the reconnaissance satellites of the Land of Qin.

These high-resolution military-grade cameras could take centimeter-level shooting.

All the images were transmitted to the strategic command centers of their respective countries through the data satellites.

Following that, the sirens sounded and the important figures who held great power were urgently awakened.

They then saw the images transmitted by the satellites.

These important figures looked at this scene and held their breaths.

“Cauldron?”

Because of Federal Empire’s might, they naturally understood what cauldron meant in the east?

“A divine artifact?” Someone asked.

“No!” An official who had studied in the east immediately shook his head, “This isn’t just a divine artifact…”

“It should be a sovereign artifact!”

“The cauldron, in the ancient era of the east, was the symbol of a country!”

“According to research, it isn’t just a symbol of divine power, it is also a symbol of imperial power!”

“Then can we think of a way to…” Someone asked.

“You’re Crazy!” This unrealistic idea was naturally immediately refuted, “Do you want to start a world war?”

Attacking that country’s military aircraft?

Moreover, it was a military aircraft that carried out such a mission. It would be as if they wanted to declare war with that country.

And declaring war on the east?

It had already been done two hundred years ago where all the countries in the Land of Qin were gathered for such intention.

Britannia, Fran, Francois, Habsburg…

However, they still ended up losing the war and corpses strewn all over the place.

Even if the transcendents were put into the battlefield in an organized way,

they would still be all crushed!

The New Qin Ridge became the sad ridge.

In the end, countless sacrifices were made and even the king was guillotined because of the war.

In exchange, it was New Black Horse Peace Treaty.

Colonies were given up…

Freedom was given to all the enslaved and oppressed nations and kingdoms…

The war 200 years ago had dealt a heavy blow to the people of Land of Qin, both physically and psychologically.

Up until now, Land of Qin still didn’t have the courage to wage war against the east even after 200 years had passed.

Moreover, Land of Qin had long been torn apart. They were facing internal and external problems even up to now.

The Odin faction, Aspirin faction…

They would definitely not interfere in the dispute between 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 with the eastern camp during 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 undertaking.

Ever since the New Black Horse Peace Treaty was signed, generations after generations of people had come and gone, but in the end, they could not achieve it.

The number of heroes who had fallen into this undertaking was uncountable.

The emperor of Fran…

Frederick the Great of Prussia…

Alexandria of Lossia Empire…

If one wanted to integrate the Land of Qin, one had to defeat the east.

But if one wanted to defeat the east, one had to integrate the Land of Qin.

This was a vicious cycle.

An unsolvable cycle!
