Chapter 1248: An Epoch-Making Discovery
Craig's eyes flickered. He had to admit that Yu Guo didn't have the strength to swallow Lantis whole! Doing so might drag the entire Yu Guo into a quagmire! But if they cooperated with Hua Xia, they would have a powerful backup! Yet that also meant they couldn't exclusively enjoy Lantis's resources and technology...
(◞•̀д•́) "I can't make this decision. I need to discuss it with Lord Hai Wang. Can you make the call on Hua Xia's side?"
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips, looking smug.
(๑¯ิꇴ¯ิ๑) "Isn't that obvious? I'm the Plunder Envoy of Hua Xia! I'm plundering by imperial decree... ahem! What do you think I came out here for?"
Craig's face darkened. You've already revealed your true purpose!
After understanding the full story, Craig took Hai Di and the others to consult Hai Wang.
Jiangnan, on the other hand, rubbed his hands together and looked at Alice with anticipation.
(ㅅᵒ̴̶̷ꇴᵒ̴̶̷̣) "Hey~ teach me how to use this cannon?"
Alice looked as if she was about to cry.
(☍﹏⁰) "Th-this God-Slaying Cannon was built by our ancestors to slaughter gods. Can you return it to us?"
Who knows how many resources were consumed to build this God-Slaying Cannon?
Jiangnan glared:
(๑･᷅◠･᷄) "Lantis is almost gone. What use is this cannon to you now? Besides, I took this cannon precisely to better protect you!"
"Which is more important, the cannon or your life? Don't bring this up again!"
Alice looked subdued.
(･᷄～･᷅) "Th-then fine~"
Jiangnan couldn't help asking curiously:
(·•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "By the way, what's this 'god' you keep mentioning?"
Alice said gravely: "They are not human, almost impossible to kill, have translucent bodies, and can even infiltrate..."
Jiangnan raised his hand and rolled his eyes.
(꒪ัД꒪ั*)۶ "Alright~ no need to say more, I understand."
So the gods Alice spoke of are the Bose race. In the Gu Su era, the ancient people already fought against the Bose race? And they even built such a terrifying thing? Jiang Ning said that the ancient Holy Star's attempts to transform Blue Star into a Star Ruin all ended inconclusively. The ancients were really amazing! Every era has its heroes.
Even though Alice was reluctant, she still taught Jiangnan how to use the God-Slaying Cannon. It turned out that the cannon could automatically absorb surrounding spirit energy to charge. At current spirit energy concentration, it could fully charge in 12 hours, and one full charge could fire one shot. To fire again, it needed to recharge. One only needed to activate the incantations on the cannon's base in sequence.
Jiangnan was shocked. It even required an input password to fire? That was too advanced! And by entering the password three times in a row, one could enter password-change mode.
Jiangnan quickly changed the password, setting a sequence only he knew. Even if someone else took it, they couldn't fire it.
Watching the God-Slaying Cannon's gradually lengthening energy bar, Jiangnan looked satisfied.
人(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)
What a great treasure!
This cannon, suddenly appearing in Yu Guo's capital, was hard to miss. Below the cannon, a large crowd was taking photos frantically, and journalists and media had also gathered. Many factions had come to probe for information.
"Nan Shen! Is this the Gu Su relic brought back from the ancient Lantis kingdom? What a big cannon!"
"That energy barrier hundreds of kilometers in diameter in the Lantis ruins sea area—does it have anything to do with your operation?"
"What's inside Lantis? Is this cannon the only gain?"
"Can we get a close look? I want to touch it! Can this cannon actually fire?"
Jiangnan stood on the cannon's muzzle and shooed them away, looking protective.
(￢◠￢。) "Scram, scram! Where do you get so many questions? You want to touch it? This is my cannon! I picked it up from the bottom of the sea risking my life!"
"What if you break it? My cannon can blast through the heavens!"
"Whoever dares to steal my cannon, I'll blow their head off!"
Jiangnan's fierce expression actually scared off a bunch of people. Can't even touch it? Is it that precious? Besides, who could steal such a big cannon?
Even so, Jiangnan still wasn't reassured. He took out an off-road vehicle and directly set up camp on top of the cannon, settling in right there. Let's see who dares to steal it.
At this moment, both the extremely conspicuous giant cannon and the energy shield over the Lantis ruins sea area completely exploded on the internet. International headline news was flooded with messages.
Headline: "Lantis Treasure Fully Surfaces! Jiangnan Brings Back Gu Su Relic! A Kilometer-Long Cannon, Said to Be Able to Blast Through the Heavens! Absolutely No Touching!"

The accompanying picture was of Jiangnan and Alice standing together!
"Pfft~"
At Pioneer Academy, Wu Liang, fresh from training and covered in sweat, was scrolling on his phone. The moment he saw this news, he sprayed out a mouthful of water, coughing violently. His face was full of shock.
(ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆‖) "What the hell? Nan Ge is such a beast? Went all the way to Lantis to shoot his cannon? And brought back several? So openly? It's even in the news? If Sister Xue and the others find out, Nan Ge will probably have to kneel on durian when he gets back!"
(｡•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Big guy? What are you looking at? So shocked? Let me see?"
Xia Yao looked at Wu Liang with a wolfish suspicion.
Wu Liang quickly hid his phone behind his back, sweating profusely on his forehead, looking guilty.
(‧̣̥̇乛‧̣̥̇㉨‧̣̥̇乛‧̣̥̇) "Nan Ge! As your brother, I understand. I'll help you suppress this!"
"N-nothing! Nan Ge is law-abiding in Yu Guo. He didn't do any cannon-firing at all!"
Xia Yao: ???
"Nine Star Flash! Hand it over!"
In an instant, Xia Yao's figure disappeared from the spot, a silver light flashed, and Wu Liang's phone was already in her hand. The moment she saw the news, Xia Yao's fur stood on end.
(|||ᵒ̌口ᵒ̌) "What? Cannon-firing? And with several big treasures? Stinky Xiao Nan! You have ready ones at home and you don't fire them!"
"You go all the way to Yu Guo to find? Ahhh~ Xuexue! Look at Xiao Nan!"
With red eyes, Xia Yao rushed straight to find Zhong Yingxue.
Zhong Yingxue, drenched in sweat, was also dumbfounded looking at the news.
Xia Yao ground her teeth.
٩(ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌*)و "Let's go! Let's go to Yu Guo and find Xiao Nan! I want to see how big his cannon really is!"
Zhong Yingxue scrolled through the news, her expression changing from confused jealousy to a darkened face, and she held her forehead.
(ﾉ)⇀‸↼) "What's with these Yu Guo media? So ridiculous! I said Xiao Nan wouldn't do that! See?"
Xia Yao watched the video of Jiangnan standing on the giant cannon with a fierce expression, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "Sss~ That really is a huge cannon? Where did Xiao Nan get it back from? Oh my god!"
He really can scavenge!
Scrolling through the comments below, the two couldn't stay calm.
"Jiang the Cannon reappears in the world? Not to mention how fierce he is, just moving this thing back from the seabed is already impressive enough!"
"The Lantis ruins have changed; the barrier seals off hundreds of kilometers of sea and airspace. There might be a world-shaking treasure hidden inside!"
"Many people have gathered in the nearby sea area. Someone said they saw Dao Heaven rank experts!"
"Haha! Hai Tang sold the mermaid with treasure clues for ten billion, and now this one cannon alone is worth more than ten billion, right? Boss Pang is going to lose big!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao exchanged a glance, and the urgency in their hearts grew stronger.
Train!
In the Secretary-General's office, Yang Jian stared with three eyes at the video of the black giant cannon.
୧(ଵଵଵ)୨ "What the hell? What the heck is this? Is the news true?"
Nightingale said excitedly: "It's true! This cannon can even be seen by satellite. They say Jiangnan brought it out from the Lantis ruins!"
Yang Jian swallowed his saliva. This gain was too huge!
So he couldn't hold back anymore and called Jiangnan.
"What the hell did you bring back this time?"
Jiangnan chuckled. Even Brother Jian couldn't stay calm?
"God-Slaying Cannon! A weapon built in the Gu Su era by Lantis to kill Bose race!"
"Even ordinary Dao Heaven can't withstand one shot. It's crazy powerful! Now it's mine! I'll haul it home later!"
"I also got a bunch of water squirt guns. Add water and they can fire plasma rays! Gotta say, Lantis's application of incantations is really advanced!"
"Once I settle things here, Lantis's resources, technology, and knowledge will all be shared. Then we can arrange..."
Yang Jian's head was buzzing, his face flushed.
Σ(っ°口°;)っ "What the heck? Water squirt guns? Plasma rays? The ancient Lantis kingdom still has living people?"
Too many shocking news items, Yang Jian was completely overwhelmed. He just sent him to teach a spirit pet course at Yu Guo. Did he have to give such a big surprise? The value of the God-Slaying Cannon went without saying. If they could research those water squirt guns, they might even be more powerful than Spirit-Binding weapons.
Jiangnan's mouth twitched: "Not only are there living people, there are also fish!"
So he explained the specific details of Lantis to Yang Jian.
"That's roughly the situation. Yu Guo agreeing to form an alliance is only a matter of time!"
"I plan to first deal with Shark! Help Alice regain power, and then join forces to protect Lantis!"
"The Origin Stone is extremely important. We must get it and study it thoroughly!"
Yang Jian held the phone, sitting on the stool in a daze, his ears burning hot. For a long time, he didn't say a word.
This discovery, if grasped, would be an earth-shattering advancement for Hua Xia's Spirit Martial world!
Was Jiangnan trying single-handedly to elevate the entire era's progress to a glory matching the Gu Su era?
This was an epoch-making discovery! A historic step!
Jiangnan: (•︠口•︡)ᕤ "Hey? Brother Jian? Say something? What? Did your phone fall into a hole?"
