Chapter 891: Put an Eye in the Sky

“Miss Lin Yue!”

Ren Baqian didn’t know how to address her…

In any case, he knew that he definitely couldn’t call her an old monster! He should probably just address her as “Miss” based on her looks.

Out of the blue, he suddenly thought of the empress. He would be old after 100 years, but she would still maintain her appearance… He would probably have to address her as “Miss” then…

“What do you know about the history of the human race?” Ren Baqian asked.

“I don’t know anything. I only found out about it after listening to what you guys said. Why are you asking me about this?” Lin Yue was at a loss.

He had to admit that her expression was sweet and naive.

Thinking about her age, he felt that it would probably be counted the same way as a dog.

Ren Baqian thought of someone else who could possibly be around the same age as Lin Yue and looked as youthful as her.

However, they were entirely different people. The other person simply ate, slept, and woke up to eat every day, leading a peaceful pig-like life.

Besides, judging by the lifespan of her species, she wasn’t even an adult yet!

Lin Yue, however, was different!

Ren Baqian cleared his throat and looked at her strangely. “I thought you looked different when I asked about the history of the human race earlier. I thought you knew something.”

She thought about it and suddenly came to a realization, explaining, “I was just lamenting how such a small thing could be so destructive!”

Everyone was speechless.

This was no longer a question of the length of Lin Yue’s reflex arc.

She probably had a problem with her head…?

Ren Baqian felt that he should probably get people to find out more about her… If it wasn’t possible to fake one’s strength, he would suspect that the person in front of him was fake.

With this brain of hers, how was Lin Yue not sold to the ravines after living for so many years?

He subsequently decided to cast this matter aside.

“Everyone, Chief Lin spoke about some things which I can tell you are all true. As for the evidence… Li Fu’s predecessors had some, and he himself has also seen a part of it. If you wish to know, I can also show it to you.

That is the purpose of this meeting.

If the experts of the human race continue to waste away, we will never have a chance to go back to where we belong.

I hope to gather all the experts into a team and boost the power of the human race when we go there.”

“I definitely wouldn’t agree if you had brought this up in the past, but after seeing the explosion of those nuclear bombs, no physical force would be able to withstand such power,” Gao Yi confessed.

Ren Baqian couldn’t sense any dejection from him, and his words were truly heartfelt.

It was not only him, but everyone else as well.

“An expert isn’t only limited to such strengths!” Ren Baqian shook his head. “This place is known as the barren land, the land of exile. Do you know why? Some things are rich in that area and scarce here. As such, it makes it more difficult for us to break through over here! Those who were able to become top experts in our world had exceptional talents. If given a chance, they would be able to soar to the heavens!”

Ren Baqian’s words immediately shook everyone.

There were no practitioners who didn’t want to climb to greater heights and gain more strength. Most of the people here were looking for personal gain and seeking further opportunities. Therefore, even with the deterrence of Li Fu, the world’s most powerful expert, these people came here merely to try their luck.

As such, Ren Baqian’s words immediately excited them.

After all, they were unaware of how strong the foreign races were. After seeing the nuclear explosions, they didn’t have many worries about a war with the foreign races.

“Don’t think too highly of the situation. The human race back then was about 1,000 times stronger than today. What was the end result?” Li Fu threw a wet blanket. “As long as we step forth, it means that we will break the agreement that was made back then. It will be a massacre when the other party strikes, and we will become the sinners of the human race.”

Everyone was surprised.

“Are those foreign races really that powerful?” Xu Gongsou asked.

“If it weren’t for the experts of the human race who fought until the end, those 100,000 people probably wouldn’t have survived. With our current level of strength, we would only count as one of their elite soldiers,” Li Fu explained.

“Don’t think about it so seriously.” Ren Baqian waved his hand. Everyone would probably be scared if Li Fu continued.

“You have seen my big treasure. How powerful is it?”

“Truly terrifying.” Li Fu had to admit.

“If I were to throw hundreds or thousands of them, even a deity would have to kneel! Let alone a bunch of foreign races! Of course, their experts are truly terrifying. None of us can stop them. We will be slaughtered if they strike. As such, we just need to make sure that we can compete against their high-end power even if we can only hold them back.

If you can reach the level you are at today in this barren land, why wouldn’t you be able to break through over there?

As for the ordinary experts of the other party, you don’t have to worry about them, no matter how many there are!” Ren Baqian said very confidently.

Even if there weren’t any radioactive elements in this world, as long as there was oxygen and those top experts could be restrained, the weaker ones could be attacked with heavy firepower.

“Sigh…” Li Fu sighed softly. “How could it be that easy to move forward!”

“It’s at least an opportunity, isn’t it? If we don’t go there, wouldn’t we have to hand over the burden to our younger generations? The strong will be forever strong, and the weak will be forever weak. We will only be struggling to survive if we back out. Is anyone willing to resign themselves to that?

Think about it. There is an abundance of richer land out there, an environment where it’s easier to break through, a place with a higher skill ceiling. Some of you might even be able to become as strong as our previous emperor.

What I want to do is organize a group of people to go to that region and cultivate. What you are worried about, old man? Is it that we might land ourselves in big trouble and be discovered before we can even get there? What if we could put an eye in the sky? We will be able to track their every action… We will operate in the dark, so why worry?” Ren Baqian laughed.

“Put an eye in the sky?” Everyone was taken aback by Ren Baqian’s words.

Even Li Fu was surprised.

This was really… unbelievable!

Actually, “absurd” was the word that everyone was thinking of!

How would that be possible?

“I know how to achieve this. It will allow us to look down at the entire world as if we were in the sky. Of course, this will take some time. There will be no need to worry if we can achieve this.”

“Can you really do that?” Li Fu still found it hard to believe.

Ren Baqian felt that as the world’s most powerful expert, Li Fu was… he was always disbelieving and surprised at everything. Nobody dared to lift their heads and look at the world’s number one expert in the past. How imperious must one be to hold that title?

What about this person?

Well, he was just a blacksmith! At best, a blacksmith who could fight a little!

Li Fu truly didn’t have the mighty dominance of the top experts!

However, to the others, putting an eye in the sky was even more unbelievable than the Arabian Nights.

“We will set off once we achieve it.” Ren Baqian spread his hands. “Before that, we still have some things to do.”

“Your goal is… Great Xia?” Ma Hongyu frowned.

He had previously heard from Lin Dong that the aboriginals belonged to the same race as the people of the other nations. Truthfully, it was worthy of respect that they had stayed in the Sixty Thousand Mountains to defend.

However, how could they forgo their identities as people of Great Xia that easily?

“No!” Ren Baqian waved his hand. “I don’t care about Great Xia’s land. My goal is out there! Like I have said, what I need are experts who are willing to take one step further!”

He stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, saying, “All the experts in the world, molded into a fist!”

Everyone was shocked.

Recruiting all of the world’s experts into his team… What audacity!

However, at the thought of it, it wasn’t impossible!

The top ranked expert, along with the third, fourth, eighth, ninth, and tenth ranked experts, were all here.

Half of the top 30 experts were present.

As long as Ren Baqian managed to convince these people… It wouldn’t be impossible to convince the rest!

At present, they finally understood his idea!

“You talked about putting an eye in the sky? Can it really be done?” A voice emerged from the crowd.

Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows, only to see Lin Yue opening her mouth and looking incredulous!

He winced, thinking about how complex her mind was…
