Chapter 993: Explosive News
An Lin was quite satisfied as he left.
He felt like his performance just then was exemplary. He came and went like the wind and had definitely left a deep impression on Qu Nima’s heart with his profound display.
“Sigh, this issue with the Void Spirit Tribe is a really troublesome one.” Tina’s brows furrowed as she heaved a forlorn sigh.
“That’s alright, we have plenty of time to rectify these issues.” An Lin wasn’t really all that concerned.
A thought suddenly occurred to him. “By the way, Little Na, How are the other tribes doing?”
“Hmm…” Tina thought to herself for a moment before replying, “All of the tribes are developing as normal. The Holy Martial Clan cultivators are still perfecting their battle techniques, the Dragon Tribe cultivators are still looking for treasures all over the world, the Vermilion Bird Tribe cultivators are just as free-spirited as ever… The only thing is, there has been some conflict within the human race.”
“What conflict?” An Lin asked.
“The human race has established five countries, and all of them are divided based on their inclinations toward cultivation or science. This has resulted in widespread conflict and debate among the human race,” Tina explained.
“That’s the main difference between humans and other tribes,” An Lin said with a smile.
If this were any of the other tribes, they would definitely choose to pour forth all of their resources into cultivation without a second thought as that would allow them to progress in their cultivation.
Was there anything better than making oneself more powerful?
However, humans were different. They were aware of how important scientific research was. By pouring more resources into science, even though they wouldn’t be able to directly benefit themselves, they could benefit the entire human race!
“Let them worry about that themselves. I don’t think we should interfere with this process.” An Lin smiled.
Tina nodded. “I’m really eager to see the human civilization of this world become as prosperous as the human civilization on Giant An Lin’s home planet. It would be very fun to visit here when that time comes.”
“It won’t be too far into the future. If we’re lucky, it might only take a decade before you see the flourishing human civilization on Earth being replicated here,” An Lin said with a smile.
Tina pouted upon hearing this. “Ten years is a long time… Even if I accelerate the flow of time, it will still take a long time.”
“Just be patient.” An Lin patted Tina’s head and said, “Let’s go visit the human territory.”
Tina held onto An Lin’s hand and stepped forward. The space around them instantly transformed. Not even a second had passed before the two of them arrived in the air above the most prosperous capital city of the human race.
An Lin looked down at the city sprawled out below him and clicked his tongue in wonder. “What a flourishing city!”
Down below, there were skyscrapers in dense bunches and what seemed to be an endless flow of vehicles.
Even though most of the buildings were constructed from steel beams and concrete, there were some skyscrapers several hundred meters tall that were constructed from spirit bones as well as dazzling lights that were shining at their peaks.
The vehicles below were all hybrid cars that ran on both vital energy and heat energy in order to facilitate maximum efficiency.
Here, the mortals and cultivators coexisted in harmony. Some of them had even become good friends. All of them followed the decree of Adam and Eve, which stated that all living beings below God were equal and that cultivators were prohibited from harming mortals for no reason.
There were also similar decrees in the Kingdom of the Nine States, but cultivators still didn’t want to interact with mortals. Even when they did encounter one another, the cultivators would always adopt a haughty mannerism, as if they were superior beings.
However, the situation was completely different here. Many cultivators were truly friends with the mortals here, and they dined and chatted with one another, went to clubs with one another, and played games with one another.
Even though they pursued different things, that didn’t mean that their lives ran in parallel lines.
“It looks pretty good here, but why do I feel like the cultivators are a bit lazy?” An Lin was a little dumbfounded.
Why did the cultivators here engage in so many recreational activities? Didn’t they need to cultivate?
He unleashed his divine sense to enshroud this whole city, upon which he discovered that there were a total of over fifty thousand cultivators in this city, but there was only one Soul Formation Stage cultivator among them.
“Why are there so few strong cultivators here?” An Lin was a little perplexed.
All of the human cultivators that had been recruited to the Four Nine Immortal Sect consisted exclusively of Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators. In terms of overall strength among the cultivators, there seemed to be a little bit too much of a disparity between the human race and the other highly-intelligent tribes.
“Hmm, perhaps it’s because there are too many fun things to play with, which has drawn them away from cultivation.” Tina was a little embarrassed and stuck out her tongue.
An Lin was a little concerned. “Is that really ok?”
“It should be fine…” Tina replied.
An Lin’s expression darkened. “Oi, Little Na, you’re a God of Creation! Shouldn’t you be more firm and convincing?”
“Don’t worry so much! I don’t think there are any substantial issues here.”
Tina clearly didn’t know whether this was ok or not, but it wasn’t like she could just prohibit the human cultivators from engaging in other recreational activities.
After exploring the Divine Mirror World, the two of them returned to the Tai Chu Continent.
An Lin spoke to Wei Ji as God’s spokesperson and assigned him a new mission.
Wei Ji accepted the mission with unbridled drive and enthusiasm. In all honesty, as long as he was doing something for Goddess Tina, he would have zero objections.
If all of the powerful beings from the Divine Mirror World were devout worshippers, then Wei Ji was their undisputed leader and the most devout and fervent worshipper of the lot.
If he didn’t have that sort of passion and enthusiasm, how was he going to convince others?
This was like some of the more advanced scam artists. Before scamming others, they had to make sure they believed their own lies in order to create the most realistic and convincing scam.
These two were actually the same thing.
The only difference here was that Wei Ji had a God of Creation as a backer…
When night fell, An Lin returned to his living quarters.
He was strolling along a bluestone path when he noticed a black shadow sitting on a rock.
Even in the darkness, it was impossible to miss this black figure as it had a pair of extremely bright eyes, so bright that it seemed as if they were literally glowing.
An Lin made his way toward the black shadow before patting it on the shoulder. “Whatcha doin’, Xiao Chou, thinking about life?”
That’s right, it was none other than Xiao Chou who was sitting on the rock.
An Lin would often see Xiao Chou sitting on a rock and staring blankly into thin air, but he had never seen Xiao Chou sitting on a rock and looking up into the starry night sky with such a sullen expression.
His freckled nose was slightly wrinkled, and his crooked mouth pouted slightly as if he was feeling aggrieved and distressed at the same time.
An Lin looked at Xiao Chou’s peculiar features. Even though a master really shouldn’t find his beast pet ugly, he still couldn’t help but avert his gaze. He looked up into the night sky as his eyes watered.
“Big Brother An, I… I got dumped…”
Perhaps it was because there was finally someone extending concern toward him, but tears suddenly welled up in Xiao Chou’s eyes as he spoke in a teary voice.
“Gasp…”
An Lin’s eyes widened at this massive bombshell.
He turned toward Xiao Chou with a stunned expression before silently averting his gaze again. “Ahem, Xiao Chou, do you want to talk about it?”
When was Xiao Chou in a relationship?
An Lin seriously had no idea!
And he only found out about it after he had been dumped! With this in mind, An Lin blushed with embarrassment. He felt that, as Xiao Chou’s master, he had failed him.
Xiao Chou looked up at the starry night sky with undisguised sorrow and pain in his eyes.
“This is what happened…”
