Yang Zicang had not anticipated that matters related to the Five Elements would also be an Ancient Gold-grade message.
The young man walking out of the dim, arched stone corridor with its broken ceiling lights strode forward while pondering.
Now, he had fully grasped five pieces of information about this alien terrestrial civilization at the Ancient Gold level.
Among them, the evolution of the Holy Psychokinesis Field alone had contributed three.
The first “Ancient Gold Grade Intelligence ” was the intelligence about the Moon People, transmitted to him via the Holiness Psychokinesis Field from a Complete Stamp Emblem, and relayed through the Skeleton-Spirit that was the Straw Sandal Maker—that the Moon People’s bodies were shattered, and unless their skulls were completely destroyed, they would repeatedly stand up, ultimately becoming chaotic-minded, monster-like beings.
Secondly, the second piece, also obtained through this evolution concerned the real Lunar Realm—which turned out to be linked to the terrifying resurgent desire unleashed by the demonic sword “Eye-Sovereign of a Thousand Visions. “
The plan to save the world initiated by the people of the Wood&Torrent land during the previous Track of Fate’s evolution had been largely devised based on this information as well.
Namely—All of humanity had become undying skeletal monsters who could stand up again and again, yet were utterly unable to satisfy any of their human desire.
A Warrior of the Soldier Army walked past Yang Zicang.
“Mr. Yang, hello. “
“Hello to you too. “
Another two or three people walked by in pairs.
“Mr. White Violet Hero. “
“President Buchen, hello. ” they said.
These people had smiles full of gratitude on their faces, nodding in greeting to Yang Zicang.
“Hello to you all. “
Yang Zicang, passing by them, continued to think about the next ancient gold-level intelligence he had already confirmed.
Speaking of which, besides having the prerequisite of obtaining the Complete Stamp Emblem, he also had to thank those two bastards, Wanyan Shenwang and Hong Haocheng.
He withdrew his thoughts and focused.
When he touched the novel “Hero Agent, ” half of which was adapted from Lin Feng’s memoir, the third piece of ancient gold-level intelligence emerged: the Golden Ratio Trait.
In other words, after the sage’s Ring of Life shattered, it granted this small ring to the people from Earth, which could collect the life spans of other creatures, and the clue of how to upgrade it to cultivate the fifth thread.
He just wondered if the mind-message appearing proactively when touching the third ancient gold was something everyone experienced in such a situation, or if it only existed for items like Lin Feng’s memoir.
However, apart from that, there wasn’t a single piece of ancient gold-level intelligence in that half of the novel.
“Logically, Lin Feng’s story should have contained more information of this level. “
But still, since it was left by that person, it was normal that there wasn’t any.
As he walked, Yang Zicang thought calmly, hoping that Boppoli could gather more authentic ancient gold-level intelligence from the novel he took back.
Or perhaps… Yang Zicang lowered his gaze and thought, it might overlap with the information revealed by the “Lunar Realm ” that the Holy Psychokinetic Field has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years.
“We were almost in danger this time, ” came the voice of a blood-pulse warrior chatting with Ang Pailisi from ahead:
“Is the intention of these hijackers to forge a Ring of Wealth? What a frightening scheme. “
“But it’s good that you acted decisively and swiftly, taking them down. “
This warrior, wearing an outer coat with many scuff and ash marks from brushing against walls, did not show much of a smile from the compliment. He continued speaking to the colonel standing ramrod straight at his side:
“But who knows whether that person with the Ring of Life will use our world’s crisis to launch such inhumane attacks again. Eh, Chairman Yang. “
“Hello, sir. ” Yang Zicang approached with a smile, and the man proactively extended his hand to shake his.
These soldiers, whose bodies had been invaded by the pollution of Demonic Blood, all knew, to varying extents, some information about the power of Demonic Blood.
Now even the warriors realized what kind of terrifying gathering of power, manifested through similar events, the “wealth ” amassed from the experiences of everyone affected by that person’s actions, born from a world’s destruction, truly was.
From then on, no matter what the original lineage of that person’s blood might have been, through the gathered experiences of the “hundreds of millions who died, ” along with the world’s sinking and the extinction of civilization, the influence and power of this one ｛Ring｝ had become no less than that of “Destruction. “
It struck him that he had never fought against any angel of the Ring of Wealth, not even seen their faces, and had no clue about the workings of their Ring abilities. Yet now, he was about to face such a formidable opponent, which filled him with a sense of powerlessness and frustration.
“You look even younger in person than in the newspapers, ” said the Warrior soldier holding Yang Zicang’s hand, sighing. “Sir, I’m truly worried about the crisis our world is facing. You’ll continue to protect this world’s safety with us, right? “
Yang Zicang withdrew his hand, his expression briefly turning somewhat grave before relaxing into a smile. “I will, only… “
“If there’s any place that needs my help, I will spare no effort, even at the cost of my life. “
“Thank you. ” Yang Zicang frowned slightly. “Do you know anything about the story of the Glazed Lamp? “
“Well… ” The soldier scratched his head.
“Don’t put him on the spot. ” Colonel Ang Pailisi, standing nearby, glanced at his wristwatch and said, “It’s already half past eight. Should we leave first? “
“Are things here already taken care of? “
“Pretty much. ” Ang Pailisi said. “Next, besides inviting various countries to jointly search for that target, I think we also need to do one more thing. “
“And what is that? ” Yang Zicang asked.
Seeing that such a conversation was underway, the soldier beside them tactfully took his leave and walked outside, standing guard by the entrance.
The colonel spoke earnestly to Yang Zicang: “Although we may not be able to understand the specific details, we more or less know that, for you, Chairman Yang, the birth and operation of the World Ark airship broadcast itself is a very important matter, isn’t it? “
“Mm-hmm. “
This man’s eyes slanted down toward the ground, pondered for two seconds, then looked squarely and said:
“Based on our speculation from some past cases, Chairman Yang, the broadcast value of the World Ark’s airship has probably already been fully exploited. That’s why you failed to respond to Stephen for several hours last night. But just before dawn, something new and, hmm, ‘interesting’ suddenly emerged. “
“So what are you trying to say? “
“It’s like this—on my way here, I was thinking: what if we postpone the delivery of the equipment whose ownership has already been transferred after the auction, together with the airship, at a discounted rate? “
Yang Zicang’s gaze slowly grew a bit clearer, “Oh? “
“Then, during this period—I mean even just a temporary delay of a few days—we could lend this airship broadcasting system, which can reach all major regions of the world, to certain countries that can’t make their voices heard here. Let the world listen to them. I think this might be another thing that gentlemen with the spirit of knighthood, like you Chairman Yang, would be happy to see. “
Yang Zicang’s mouth opened slightly in surprise.
Seeing his reaction, the colonel thought to himself with some certainty… it seemed he hadn’t overstepped.
“I… not… that’s possible too? “
“Why wouldn’t it be? ” Ang Pailisi chuckled lightly.
“I’m sure you also know which country I would primarily recommend to temporarily take over the broadcast rights of this system. Of course, I also have suggestions for some other nations, but it might waste a lot of time on negotiations. “
Yang Zicang immediately understood what the colonel meant.
“This is just too…” A look of suddenly emerging delight appeared on his face.
After a bit more surge of enthusiasm within, Yang Zicang stepped forward with a relaxed tone, raised his arm to lightly clasp the colonel’s shoulder, and said:
“Regardless, let’s head back first. You’ll find out more there.“
……
Tàtǎ Míngqí, wearing an adult’s oversized coat, whose shoulders looked droopy and loose, guided Lucius to the vicinity of the World Ark headquarters.
The soldiers here seemed quite alert, but when the members of Zhao Anlong’s team stationed at this spot saw that this was President Yang Buchen’s warmly enthusiastic little distributor, they didn’t put up too much obstruction to let them approach.
“This gentleman is a postman from the Mist Tenants’ leased land. He needs to deliver a letter out to sea. Passing through here can save a lot more time, so I brought him along.“
Hearing Tàtǎ Míngqí’s introduction, Lucius nodded with a smile toward the people in front.
Although the sea he was about to head for was actually the Mist Sea…
He looked past the large area of buildings that had become ruins, toward the rooms behind that now seemed somewhat isolated.
“Since you’re a friend of Mr. Tàtǎ Míngqí. Well…“
“I’m just passing through, I won’t be staying at the inn, ” Lucius said. “Besides, I’m also a friend of Mr. Yang Bucheng. My name is Lucius. You can tell him that little Rocmont was going to take me passing through your place. “
Rocmont tilted his head and side-eyed Lucius’s tall frame.
“Let me ask. ” The short-haired young man at the door turned sideways and shouted two sentences to the person inside.
Before long, Rocmont walked out. After sizing up Lucius, he smiled at the two and said, “Come on in, gentlemen. We trust Mr. Rocmont completely. “
Lucius stepped forward and entered the room together with Rocmont.
“You two, ” said Rocmont, who was inside, “please prepare. We’re about to go in. “
Both of them stared wide-eyed at the surroundings. As the person in charge of guiding people used the key, Rocmont saw that the wall and carpet began to, like a dark fire burning through the wallpaper, slowly or quickly reveal another layer of the wall beneath.
In just a few seconds, Rocmont, who hadn’t closed his eyes, followed them into Room 303.
“You two. ” The key-holder turned to look at the pair, one tall and one short, holding the key with the tips of his fingers. “Need to give it a touch? “
“What is this? “
“Ah,” the tall man in front showed a hint of curious examination on his face. The one holding the key thought for a moment whether the other truly didn’t know about the key. Just then, Tatamingqi beside him walked over and raised her arm, saying, “Let me touch it; I’ve never experienced such a thing before.“
The person holding the key chuckled and extended their hand, pressing the key against the hand of the female distributor.
“Let me try too.” The Yue Fairy next to her walked over and said as well.
