The Favored Son of Heaven

“Stumbling block!?”

The small 3LDK was filled with indescribable warmth.

Qin Fen, looking at Song Jia in his arms, smiled and shook his head. “Jia Jia, before I saw you, I always thought that my wish to see my brother was the biggest obstacle in my heart. But when you were in my arms, I suddenly discovered that my wish to see my brother had always been my driving force.”

Song Jia’s pretty eyes shimmered with brilliance as the words spoken by her Grandfather, Qilin flashed in her mind.

“Worries might turn into obstacles and heart devils but real experts can turn them into motivations!”

“Jia Jia, I understood many things this time I saw you.” Qin Fen, holding Song Jia in his arms, kissed her gently on her eyes. “Since martial arts is a part of my life, I can control martial arts without getting swayed by the martial arts. So, why should I be swayed by the divine beast martial artist title?”

“Are you not planning to fight for the title of the divine beast martial artist?” Song Jia looked at Qin Fen in surprise, an unbelievable look on her face.

“No, I am going to fight but I won’t be fighting as anxiously as before.” Qin Fen shook his head and gazed into the distance through the window. “If my brother is really the Azure Dragon, then I will naturally meet him at the Great Ensemble. Besides, there is someone really itching to come and spar!”

“Xue Tian!?” Song Jia’s eyes flashed with a rare admiration. “Grandpa has also read about the things you guys had done on Saturn a few days ago. I heard that Grandpa Hou spoke quite highly of Xue Tian at that time.”

“Mhmm.” Qin Fen nodded his agreement. “Every martial artist has his own martial dao. I used to think that I knew Xue Tian’s martial dao: fury cut. However, now I feel that his martial dao isn’t an emotional martial dao but a disposition type martial dao. As for what exactly his martial dao is, I have no idea.”

“Disposition-type martial dao!? Emotional martial dao!?” Song Jia blinked her limpid eyes. She was born in a top martial arts family but she couldn’t understand what Qin Fen meant, not even a bit.

“There are many types of martial dao.” Qin Fen explained earnestly. “Over the years, as I came in contact with more and more martial dao, I classified the martial dao as per my own cognition.”

Song Jia’s eyes turned brighter than ever before. She looked at Qin Fen with adoration and surprise.

Classify martial dao! Not to mention classifying martial dao, martial artists who can classify just the martial skills are real grandmaster-level martial artists! As for those who dare to classify martial dao, there might only be Wu Zun apart from the few divine beast martial artists in the world!

Martial dao! He is already standing on another level! Song Jia gazed at her husband. Although she had her complete confidence in him, she still didn’t expect that he would be giving off the vague feeling of standing on par with the divine beast martial artists at his age.

“Emotional martial dao, as the name suggests, is emotional. For example, Xue Tian’s fury cut; he can exert strength beyond normal in anger. It can be said that his emotions had entered his martial dao and merged with his martial dao, filling him with power. Some people can increase their strength because of joy and laughter, and others can control their emotions, becoming as calm as water.”

Qin Fen looked at Song Jia and nodded before continuing. “Another example is technique-type martial dao. For instance, firm and fierce martial dao, soft martial dao, or the prosperous martial dao, the simple martial dao, and so on.”

“Apart from these martial daos, there are some martial daos that are based on one’s character.” Qin Fen pondered a bit. “For example, Solomon’s madness and Caesar’s emperor martial dao. He believes that he is the proud son of heaven from the bottom of his heart, only then can he unleash that world-dominating aura of power. Now it seems that Xue Tian has a disposition-type martial dao…”

“What about you?” Song Jia frowned cutely. “What about your Godly Fists?”

“I’m pursuing pure violence.” Qin Fen scratched his head. “Whether it’s God or the devil, people fear them, worship them because they are violent enough. But what people are most afraid of is their pure and primitive violence.”

Song Jia curled her cherry lips. “Then, you are really not going to Jupiter?”

“I am not going.” Qin Fen shook his head. “I will stay with you for a few more days on Earth…”

Beep…beep…beep…

Right then, the pager on Qin Fen’s arm started ringing. Song Jia smiled and pressed the answer button. A one-dimensional projection immediately appeared in the living room.

The caller was the brain from Saturn’s Founding Society. The low-temperature room appeared in the projection, and a few young people were sitting with their legs crossed and eyes closed. Caesar, Solomon…

Apart from Xue Tian, everyone who went to Saturn Army with Qin Fen appeared in the projection.

“Qin Fen, can you see the projection?”

Number One sounded a lot more anxious than before.

“I am looking at it.”

Just as Qin Fen’s words fell, an image of Pandora appeared in the projection. The sky that used to be devoid of any pollution, the sky over the huge green vegetation that everyone admired, was filled with a swarm of ugly black bugs.

These bugs weren’t that big. Each of them was about the size of an ordinary person’s fist. And these insects appeared to be lying in the sky.

Qin Fen found it extremely weird. These bugs were obviously flying but they seemed as if they were lying still on a blue canvas.

The 360-degree omnidirectional projection switched to the bug’s abdomen, it was also the close view of the bug lying in the sky.

It was showing a weird mouth! A coin-shaped circle lined with sharp teeth. These teeth weren’t chewing but rotating like a drill.

The whole scene looked very strange and incomprehensible. What on Earth are they doing?

“It’s strange, right?” Number One spoke faster than usual. “I didn’t understand what these new creatures were at first. But after analyzing them, we discovered that the data of the space around them is beginning to change… although it’s a very minuscule change… it’s a real change.”

An ominous premonition rose in Qin Fen’s heart. “You mean to say…”

“Yes! They are space devouring worms!” Number One’s cold voice made Qin Fen’s scalp tingle for a moment. “These worms are born from the Queen Bee. They have the special ability to tear space. Just like the high-tech technology we used to open the space, they are using their own evolutionary methods, using another way to open a rift in the space…”

Open a rift in space! Qin Fen instantly understood why Number One came looking for him. If these monsters had the ability to open a rift in space, it would be a disaster for the entire mankind for sure.

The monsters were extremely strong and weren’t afraid of anything. If they could appear at any corner of human society and launch a sudden attack, then it was nothing but disaster.

In terms of individual strength, the monsters didn’t have anyone that could contend with existences like the divine beast martial artists or even constellation warriors in Federation space. But some monsters that were inferior to the constellation warriors were far greater in number than the Federation’s constellation warriors. After tearing the space, all they needed to do was find a location where there were no constellation warriors or divine beast martial artists, then launch an attack.

This type of guerrilla warfare would greatly shrink the living space of human beings. And such a large number of ambushes could even make the monster evolve in all kinds of ways.

“We are speeding up our research on anti-space technology.” Number One maintained a rapid rate of speech. “In short, while these bugs are tearing the space, we are distorting the small space around them and killing these worms. But…”

“It takes time, right?” Qin Fen looked at the bugs in the projection. “It’s too late to stop this batch, right?”

“Yes, they just need to continue for another ten days.” Number One paused for a bit before continuing, “This time, the Queen Bee is guarding them personally. It’s very difficult to ambush…”

“A bait!?” Qin Fen realized that this monster that had eaten a lot of humans in the different space had a wisdom that wasn’t any less inferior to humans. When they knew that they could not hide this matter from humans anymore, they simply decided to do it with great fanfare, while guarded by the strongest monster. If any humans came to destroy them, they would have to confront the Queen Bee inevitably. At that time…

Although the nuclear bomb is powerful, it seems that it could only destroy the human world. It didn’t cause any damage to the Pandora World of monsters.

Looking at the Queen Bee with the bulging belly as if it was pregnant, Qin Fen had no choice but to admire this weird creature that had created this strange situation, where humans were forced in a position where they had to go but couldn’t no matter how much they wanted.

Space was a very magical subject. Even though humans can open a rift and even close certain cracks in space, they couldn’t calculate the exact location where these strange bugs were tearing open the rift.

Papa… papa… papa… papa…

Suddenly, thousands of monster bugs split up! After splitting up, their numbers multiplied by four.

“This…” Number One was flabbergasted.

After a full ten minutes, Number One’s voice filled with frustration rang. “I just calculated; these monsters can split and reproduce on their own. And their speed of reproduction is extremely fast…”

Just as Number One’s voice fell, three-fourths of the monster worms flew in three different directions.

They are spreading out!? Qin Fen was a little puzzled. Wouldn’t it be better if these worms remained together?

“It’s strange that these split worms don’t seem to be able to stay together for a long time.” Number One’s voice was filled with doubts. “I just calculated and found that if they stayed together for more than ten minutes, they would explode together…”

What’s this!? Qin Fen could only attribute it to the monster of Pandora space for creating these incomplete secondary products.

Compared to the problems pointed out by Number One, Qin Fen was worried more about the strange thing in the abdomen of the Queen Bee, the thing that Number One referred to as the monster emperor.

According to Number One, this thing was going to create the so-called perfect monster that would not be affected by the space power of the Federation side.

So, what is perfection? At least, it should have all the abilities the other monsters have, only then will it be appropriate to call it emperor! If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be able to tear open space? If that’s true…it can be far more dangerous than these space devouring worms!

“We must, must kill it before it’s born!” Qin Fen turned his gaze to Song Jia in his arm. “I…”

“Go and be careful.” Song Jia grabbed Qin Fen’s hand and put it on her grown belly. “Remember, your child and I are waiting for your return.”
