Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 113 - 109: The Ninth Titled King of Humanity! (Part 2)
"This, this is..."
The Director of the Star Investigation Office had been a Level 9 Star-core Martial Artist for many years and was known for his vast knowledge.
Yet when he saw Zhao Lei in his current state, he couldn’t help but be somewhat startled.
This scene, this light, seemed very similar to something in his memory...
For a moment, the Director didn’t know what to say, staring at Zhao Lei in the night sky who was dazzling like the sun, speechless for a long time.
...
Green City Governor’s Mansion.
Bai Jingwei and his group were arranged to stay at the most central position of the mansion, heavily guarded, peaceful and quiet, rarely disturbed.
Even late at night, when Bai Jingwei and his group were already asleep, the sentry from the Detective Department around them remained spirited, guarding this place.
Without knowing when it started, the Star-core Martial Artists on duty here suddenly felt the Star Power fluctuations inside their bodies beginning to increase.
Just when they were puzzled, Bai Jingwei walked out of the room wearing a short-sleeved regular shirt.
"Governor, why are you up, is there anything you need?"
The officer standing by asked.
"No worry, I’m just out for a casual walk."
Bai Jingwei’s calm voice sounded.
Even ordinary mid-to-low-level Star-core Martial Artists had reacted, how could he as the Governor, known to be unbeatable under Level 9, not have sensed it?
Similar to him, Cen Xian, Zhuge Li, and other powerhouses of the Governor’s Mansion were also drawn by this unusual Star Power fluctuation, curiously walked outside to check.
"Elder Cen, do you think today’s feeling is similar to one hundred years ago..."
Zhuge Li walked over and asked, implying something in his words.
Cen Xian naturally knew what he meant, one hundred years ago, the eighth Titled King of the Human Federation was born.
The world celebrated together.
At that time, Cen Xian was already a Seventh Level Peak martial artist, so he had naturally witnessed such a scene. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
But at the time of that person’s ascension, everyone throughout the federation knew.
Media interviews, video recordings, allowed countless ordinary people to see the birth of a Titled King, the cornerstone pillar of humanity, for the first time.
Yet today, in this Green City, is someone ascending too?
Who is this person?
Why so hasty!
"Elder Cen, Academician Zhuge, since you’re all already up, why don’t we go and investigate a bit?"
Bai Jingwei stepped forward with a smile and asked, Cen Xian and Zhuge Li naturally had no objections.
All of them were beings who have reached or surpassed the Seventh Level, as the words fell, one by one, they soared into the sky, slowly flying towards the location where the Star Power fluctuation originated.
...
At this moment, in Green City.
The Star Power fluctuations were not only detected by some powerful masters, even newly awakened Star Martial learners like Lu Lin’s parents, Wang Juan, and Da Xiang felt it.
In the Green City Second Citizen’s Hospital, Shao Xiaolong, who had lost his memory and possessed a temperament like a 2-3 year old child, suddenly jumped out of bed, crying and yelling to go out and play.
In the Green City International Hotel, the animal handlers from Maolin Training Base temporarily stayed there with their Black-Backed Wolfhound, dressed up and howled, heading towards the direction of Lishui Bay.
In a residential area’s basement, a masked young man while re-establishing contact and hiding identity for his subordinates suddenly stopped talking and looked towards Lishui Bay.
In the sky, Bai Jingwei and others, like immortals of ancient times, flew through the calm night sky, making children who witnessed the scene not help but shout "The Immortals are here, the Immortals are here".
Green City Detective Office was also startled by this sudden Star Power fluctuation, quickly dispatched the nearby patrol teams of the Detective Department to investigate.
The members of the Secret Star Martial Team responsible for protecting the governor and others’ safety, were also swiftly jumping and running through the city, moving along with the masses.
Maolin Training Base, Hu Nan just lay down, but at this time also walked to the window.
At Mingze City Armed Guard Station, Liu Huasheng, who had just finished conducting nightly drills for new recruits, suddenly turned with over 1800 new recruits, all Star-core Martial Artists, looking toward the direction of Green City.
Not only Beiqiu Continent, East Forest Continent, West Sand Continent, South Sea Continent, this wave of Star Power fluctuation, which ordinary people couldn’t detect, gradually spread throughout Saturn, drawing attention of countless Star-core Martial Artists.
After this wave covered Saturn, it relentlessly surged out of Saturn’s artificial atmosphere, passed through artificial satellites orbiting Saturn, space observation stations, the planetary belt in Saturn rings with over a hundred million planets, continue spreading, extending towards the depths of the universe.
...
On the abandoned basketball court behind Lishui Bay in Green City.
One by one formidable Star-core Martial Artists felt it first, when Bai Jingwei saw Lu Lin sitting cross-legged on the ground, subconsciously sighed in relief.
For some reason, in Bai Jingwei’s heart, Lu Lin’s ability to cause commotion had reached a pinnacle.
Since it was Lu Lin here, then that person dazzling like the sun high in the sky, his identity was also revealed.
Star Investigation Office, Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei, in the Star Power Domain, saw the celestial beings above the clouds, overlooking the mortal world like gods.
At first, he was full of reverence.
The one who could oppose this fearsome heaven and earth, endless fierce demon beasts and exotic beasts, should only be these celestial gods across the sky.
But the opposite seemed as if they had no emotion at all, just looking, watching.
A million years ago, like this.
A million years later, like this.
The past like this.
The present like this.
The future like this.
No matter how the world changes, Immortals and Gods always remain aloof.
The reverence in Zhao Lei’s heart turned into doubt.
Immortals and Gods also cultivated from humans, not born as deities.
Yet, once they become Immortals and Gods, they sever ties with mortals, focusing solely on eternal life.
But!
What use is such eternal life?
No emotions, no compassion, no excitement, no sorrow.
Immortals and Gods originate from humans, yet they are not humans.
For a thousand years, generation after generation of Star Core Warriors have spilled blood for the federation, stabilizing the economy, improving livelihoods, ensuring everyone has clothes and education, and is born free.
In such a prosperous era, who knows what those Immortals and Gods above might think?
When first entering the Exotic Battlefield, Human warriors knew nothing; it was like crossing the river by feeling the stones.
The casualties were heavy, with many missing or disabled.
Yet so what?
Immortals and Gods would not lend a hand; they would not appear.
The backbone of the Human Race cannot be easily broken or shattered by anyone.
The birth of the first Titled King finally allowed humans a foothold in the Exotic Battlefield.
The second, the third...
One after another, Titled Kings bravely ventured into the Exotic Battlefield, leaving behind epic stories and deeds.
The Human Federation does not rely on Immortals and Gods.
Those who shed their blood for the Human Race are the "Immortals and Gods" revered by everyone.
After the Exotic Battlefield appeared, space cracks frequently emerged on various planets, allowing exotic beasts and alien races to enter the Human’s rear territory and commit massacres.
Human warriors, using only their flesh and blood, fearlessly eradicated them.
There are even Space Titled Kings who tirelessly journey across the Nine Major Planets, ensuring that for more than thirty years, no space cracks have appeared.
With this space-time, the Human Federation accelerated its development, and in recent years, the number of Martial Artists awakened during the College Entrance Exam has been increasing.
The Human Federation does not need Immortals and Gods.
Happiness, safety, peace, future.
All are created by human hands.
Zhao Lei looked at those Immortals and Gods still overlooking the world from the clouds, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha!"
"Good!"
"We humans don’t need Immortals and Gods."
"Today, I, Zhao Lei, shall slay immortals and cut down gods to prove the Great Path."
"In this life."
"The Human Race comes first, the Human Race is the priority."
"Kill!"
With a loud shout, Zhao Lei instantly withdrew from Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.
At this moment, the light emanating from his body illuminated the entire Green City and the surrounding wilderness.
Countless Star Core Warriors on Saturn suddenly saw a towering figure before them.
It was Zhao Lei.
Suddenly, a black battle knife appeared by Zhao Lei’s side, circling him, its blade emitting a dim yellow light.
Someone recognized it; it was the standard long knife Zhao Lei used even when he was in university hundreds of years ago.
Mountain Breaking.
Who would have thought it would still be with him after all these years?
Zhao Lei grasped the handle, his hair and beard moving without wind, his sleeves fluttering.
He glanced at the brightly illuminated Green City.
His heart was elated.
"The tide at the Qiantang River sends word."
"Today I finally know, I am me!"
"I, of the Human Federation, Zhao Lei."
"Today, I break the Ninth Level Shackles and enter the Titled Realm. In this life, I vow to serve the Federation and its hundreds of billions of people to the fullest, until death."
"Mountain Breaking!"
"Cutting the Mountain!"
"Kill!"
Zhao Lei shouted loudly.
The many Star Core Warriors watching felt a vast stream of Star Power surging towards Zhao Lei in the sky.
The light on Zhao Lei grew ever more dazzling.
Throughout Green City and beyond, countless citizens eagerly anticipated the birth of the federation’s ninth Titled King.
