Chapter 1249: I Knew It
Yang Jian: !!!
Damn, it's not like everyone who loses their phone down the toilet takes calls while on the toilet!
He was stunned speechless!
"Origin Stone? Good, good, good! This matter is entirely your responsibility. Do you need people from home? Just say the word, and I'll arrange it immediately!"
Jiangnan snickered!
(ಡٹಡ) "Not for now, small scene, I can handle it!"
"If Huaxia sends Dao Heaven-level powerhouses in now, it'll just draw more big shots into the game to oppose us, which would make things harder to manage!"
"Have the Dao Heaven-level fighters at home who can come out prepare in advance. Let them enter when the time is right!"
Yang Jian's scalp went numb. This was still a small scene?
The sea area covered by the barrier was visible from space, for crying out loud!
What counted as a big scene?
Yang Jian's expression turned serious, and he briefly mentioned the recent tsunamis, natural disasters, and weakening tidal forces to Jiangnan!
"Right now, none of the major ocean ruins have yielded any conclusive results from investigations. Do you think this world's strange changes are related to Lantis?"
Jiangnan's expression grew grave. He hadn't expected things to have developed to this extent!
"I'm not entirely sure about that. Logically speaking, the Origin Stone shouldn't have that much power!"
"But the timing of the strange changes roughly coincides with when the Lantis spirit realm opened. I'll remember this and look into it."
Yang Jian looked troubled, hoping they could find some results. Otherwise, no one knew how things would develop.
Jiangnan: (･᷄ὢ･᷅) "Ah~ right! I found a space-type kid, Silver Peak, and she's with me now!"
"Arrange for her ID to be processed later. Her name is Lan. She's 12 years old, a girl!"
"Beep beep beep..."
Yang Jian: ???
Yang Jian suddenly stood up!
(ଵДଵ٥)ᕤ "What? What space-type? Hey hey hey? Don't hang up! Explain clearly?"
Yang Jian's face turned red, his eyes shining like big light bulbs!
A newly discovered space-type?
And Jiangnan had brought her into the family?
Huaxia's third space-type?
Holy crap! If you weren't right in front of me, I'd kiss you twice right now!
"Nightingale! Go! Get Lan's ID processed!"
Nightingale was also dumbfounded, looking at Yang Jian!
Over this period, Yang Jian had been frowning constantly, his brows never relaxing!
How did a phone call with Jiangnan cheer him up this much?
"I'll go right away!"
With that, she dashed out of the office at full speed!
Yang Jian laughed heartily, leaping onto his desk with a big jump!
He wildly swayed his hips and pounded his chest!
"Ahhh! Three! Huaxia has three! Niu! Bi! Who else?"
(งᵒ̴̶̷᷅ᐜᵒ̴̶̷᷄)ڡ Boss Nan is awesome!
It really is drought to death, flood to death! Three space-types?
This was like a little cow farting firecrackers—explosively awesome!
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open!
(✺･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "Secretary-General? That Lan's information... uh..."
Yang Jian, who had been dancing on the desk, froze mid-motion, his face blushing so hard it bled smoke!
˚‧º·(‖⚆﹏⚆)‧º·˚
Had his dignified, righteous image as Secretary-General just collapsed?
~%?…;#*’☆！
Nightingale: (´థжథ) "Pfft~ I didn't see anything. Continue..."
With that, she quietly closed the door.
Then from outside the door...
ꉂꉂ(థᗜథ*) "Hahaha~"
Yang Jian: ...
[From Yang Jian, Resentment Value +666!]
...
Since this exploration involved more than just Jiangnan and Pang Badi's factions,
there were also seven or eight other groups, including Rhode and the others.
The existence of the Origin Stone was completely exposed. Many top world powerhouses learned about the secret of the Lantis Origin Stone!
After all, under the energy ripple of the Origin Stone, the barrier was genuinely weakened. Quite a few people broke through on the spot!
For Dao Heaven-level powerhouses, this temptation was undoubtedly fatal!
No one didn't want to advance further!
Instantly, countless eyes locked onto the Lantis ruins!
That very night, many people set out, heading straight for Yu Country!
At the peak of the Mo Country pyramid, Igor, dressed in a white cloak, stood with his hands behind his back!
He gazed into the deep starry sky. The silver moon hung like a hook. In his eyes, wild fire seemed to blaze, full of madness!
(☄√☄✡)
Beside him, Ruiya, also in a white robe, was giving a work report!
Igor frowned: "Is there still a spark remnant on Lan Xing? Lantis has existed until today? Hah, how lucky of them!"
"Origin Stone? Hmph! This is not something lowly humans should possess. If it falls into human hands, it'll be troublesome!"
Ruiya nodded: (๑･᷄◡･᷅) "My esteemed Holy Envoy, they probably don't have much. It won't play a decisive role."
Igor sneered: (✡‾́Д‾́) "What the hell do you know? Don't give humans any chance! They won't let go of even the slightest opportunity to turn things around!"
"The plan has reached this stage. I don't want any more trouble!"
"The Sacred Law Council is already very dissatisfied!"
Ruiya shuddered and dared not say more.
Igor cursed: (yi yì yi ꐦ) "Useless previous envoy! You left a mess for me to clean up! And they actually managed to get the spark?"
"If not for that, why would it be so troublesome? But fortunately, everything is under control!"
As he spoke, Igor looked up at the starry sky, his eyes full of smugness!
"I have to leave here for a while. You go retrieve the Origin Stone for me. Destroy it!"
"Go to the Maya Rainforest and find Vivian to get a blank version Vi before you go. Don't expose your Bose Body identity!"
"Get it done. Don't disappoint me. You'll get what you want!"
With that, he flicked Ruiya's horn and vanished into thin air!
Ruiya touched her forehead, excited: "Rest assured, Holy Envoy! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Polar Icefield!
Odin and the Magician had been deep in the icefield for a long time, chasing the aurora, searching for the Aurora Reindeer!
The Magician broke off the icicles hanging from his nostrils!
(›͡ᵔ皿͡ᵔ‹) "Boss! Aren't you going to contend for the Origin Stone? They say it has the power to let people break through limits!"
"With your strength, grabbing the Origin Stone would be easy. Maybe it could help you cross that step!"
Odin grinned!
(๑︶ٹ︶) "Hah, why do you think I'm looking for the Aurora Reindeer's spirit pearl?"
"Origin Stone? Hmph, contending for it wouldn't be impossible, but..."
The Magician was puzzled. Why did the boss seem so uninterested?
"Go scout it out, see what the situation is, report back to me, and then I'll decide whether to make a move!"
The Magician shivered!
(›◔﹏◔ิ‹) "Huh? Me... go? This... this doesn't seem good? I heard Jiang... Jiangnan is in Yu Country, and he brought back a big cannon! I..."
Odin glared: "You old coward? You're almost Dao Heaven! Why are you so afraid of Jiangnan?"
"Can't get past this hurdle? I told you to go, so go!"
The Magician muttered: (yi ₃ yi) "Aren't you scared too? Back in the Abyss, he made you..."
Odin: !!!
(ꐦʘ̆益ʘ̆ꐦ) "Are you bringing that up again? Light Drive • Supernova!"
The Magician's hair stood on end: "Holy crap! I'll go! I'm going right now!"
"Boom!"
෴༼-`-`☀︎´-´-༽෴
On the Polar Icefield, it was as if a giant sun had risen, turning the entire icefield into daylight!
...
Half an hour later, the Magician, with a dark face, teleported to the Lantis ruins sea area!
Even at night, several dozen ships were parked on the sea!
Many powerhouses were frantically attacking the barrier. They had been blasting for over ten hours!
The Magician frowned: (✺°᷄д°᷅) "Oh? It's got something. It's cut off space? Can't teleport in?"
"Dimensional Slash!"
With a wave of the Magician's hand, a cold gleam flashed across space!
A space blade hundreds of meters long struck the barrier fiercely!
"Clang!"
The barrier fluctuated violently but showed no sign of breaking!
The commotion from the Magician's attack drew exclamations from below!
Another big shot had arrived?
The Magician's eyes were full of shock. Such terrifying strength?
Even the boss's Supernova probably couldn't break it in two or three hits. What was going on with Lantis?
Just then, the Magician suddenly remembered that Jiangnan had supposedly brought a giant cannon!
Hmm, maybe I'll take a look at what it's like?
I can't just go back like this; I wouldn't be able to report!
With that, he teleported away!
...
At that moment, on top of the cannon barrel, several off-road RVs were parked!
Jiangnan was sleeping soundly, holding Mila in his left arm and Lan in his right!
(｡˘◡˘)(｡⁼̴～⁼̴｡)(ᵕᴗᵕ๐)
Suddenly, Jiangnan's eyes snapped open, bloodshot!
(｡˘◡˘)(ꐦ⚆益⚆ꐦ)(ᵕᴗᵕ๐)
"Space fluctuation? Damn it! I knew someone was trying to steal my cannon!"
In an instant, Jiangnan teleported out of the RV. The next second, he appeared at the base!
His hands flew over the control panel like shadows. After more than ten hours of charging,
the Godslayer Cannon was fully charged!
The Magician had just teleported in, still full of shock!
(✺ﾟ꒨ﾟ)!! "Oh wow~ What a huge cannon! This..."
But at that moment, Jiangnan's eyes widened!
(͡⚆益͡⚆) "Steal my cannon? I'll blow your head off!"
"Die! Fire!"
"Boom!"
A blue light beam a thousand meters in diameter blasted out of the Godslayer Cannon!
It reached the Magician in an instant!
Its terrifying power tore the air into nothingness, even leaving tiny cracks in space!
All the sound-activated lights in the entire Yu Country capital lit up from the cannon's roar!
The blast alone whipped up a level-eight gale over the capital!
The Magician: (ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆‖) ???
Holy crap! I just got here, just wanted a look!
And you fire a three-thousand-meter-long cannon at me?
What kind of terrifying power is this?!
He was just waiting for me to show up, wasn't he?
[From David, Resentment Value +1000!]
His body teleported away instantly, barely dodging the blue beam!
But he was still cut all over by the tearing space cracks, his mask shattered!
Terrified, he didn't dare stay a second longer, teleporting away frantically!
Too damn scary! It was life-threatening!
ﾚ(థཀథ#‧̣̥̇)ﾍ=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞━=͟͟͞͞
Jiangnan really was a devil!
[From David, Resentment Value +1000!]
A blue beam shot out of the capital, tearing through the clouds, breaking the sky, incredibly conspicuous!
Everyone was dumbfounded...
