Chapter 471: Human Victory, Protoss Intregation

Time was like water, passing by in the blink of an eye.

It had been about 20 years since the death of the “Wuyin Sage.”

For those who were used to a life of triviality, this little bit of time was just like the blink of an eye.

And if you had a well-adjusted mentality, if you had not experienced too many disasters or ups and downs in life, even the passing of 20, 50, 100 years would feel like three or five days.

In the past 20 years, Chen had adjusted his mentality. He was no longer so old-fashioned, gloomy, and without vitality. He seemed to have entered a grave in his psyche.

“Absolutely not!” Chen Jin gritted his teeth and said, “I’m only in my 200s. If it’s according to the time ratio of 1:10 set in certain online games, I am in fact, only in my 20s, I am a fine youth and in my prime. I am exceptionally confident and at ease. How could I come up with excuses that allow me to act like an old person?”

In some online novels, the authors would always have the protagonist who was hundreds of years, even thousands of years old playing out this cliche – the protagonist was forced to hide the full extent of his powers for most of the story only to fully unleash it on his opponents in a showdown. These cliches seemed to be created by a primary school student for primary school students. In contrast to that, he knew that he had a lot of room to grow.

It was because he could play out better cliches. A level suited for middle schoolers or university students… Much higher levels of that same trope.

Each level would require practice for two or three hundred years.

He was still far from retirement.

At this thought, Chen Jin resolved to stop being that person who was obsessed with computers and went about the mundane day-to-day life with no dreams, who simply passed the time while waiting to die. Hence, he actively participated in social activities.

For example, he put on the virtual reality headset and entered the upgraded “Cosmic Era 1.0” where he transformed into the most common player – a newbie beginning from level 0. He killed monsters to level up, was accidentally caught up in adventures, formed unforgettable bonds with beautiful women, had battles of intelligence and waged wars against the enemies… It was such a wonderful journey, there was no shortage of novelty and joy.

It was almost enough to start a new book with millions of words.

Besides this, he also asked Guo Yan and Mu Yunhua to enter the game with him. They had formed a three-person team, experienced countless events, and made a big name for themselves.

But…They only played that game for about ten years, then they announced that they would be quitting the game together. This had caused a great sensation and a storm of protests.

They felt that there was no other option but to quit the game and the reason behind this was very simple: Chen Jin’s luck with the ladies remained strong as ever and it had become a romantic calamity for him, causing him much headache.

He rubbed his head. He really couldn’t figure out what were his good points. It turned out that by just playing a game, he attracted the attention of more than a dozen female players who liked him. They were madly in love with him. When they saw that Chen Jin was about to get angry and lay all his cards on the table, these female players quickly stopped their fierce battles with each other and became unified in their positions. All of them ran to Chen Jin at the same time, saying that they could accept him having many wives. As long as he promised to treat every one of them well…..

Pffft~

He nearly vomited at that moment.

He felt greatly exasperated looking at all the ladies surrounding him.

This was such a melodramatic and contrived scene that would not even be found in third-rate online novels.

Seeing this scene, Guo Yan and Mu Yunhua, who had been with him all this time, also felt very exasperated. They looked at Chen Jin next to them and seemed to be vaguely dissatisfied.

As his legitimate and official wife, Guo Yan gritted her teeth and secretly pinched Chen Jin a few times. She could not imagine how this even happened. Mu Yunhua and she stayed by his side every day, and yet when they were occasionally absent for one or two days, this guy could somehow stir up the emotions of more than a dozen lovesick women who wanted to marry only him.

This guy had the skill of being scum, just how strong was this skill?

Seeing Chen Jin’s innocent face, and his words, “I don’t know that things would turn out like this,” all the other issues that she was also pissed off about converged into this boiling rage. She wanted to pounce on him and strangle him to death.

Mu Yunhua shrugged, she did not get herself mixed into the mess, but she quite understood Chen Jin’s situation. After all, he was a treasure that had been made solid and steadied by the passing of time. How could those young and inexperienced ladies ever resist him?

As for her, the reactions she got was even more ridiculous. The male players who pursued her numbered in the millions. There were also tens of thousands of female players who pursued her… She was the most famous fairy in the server and the most perfect goddess in the hearts of countless players who saw themselves as protagonist material. If they took her down, the sense of accomplishment for that feat would be even greater than that of the ruling the universe.

But unfortunately, Mu Yunhua was not like Chen Jin, who was warm and friendly to everyone. She kept her distance with everyone and maintained her indifference. Conquering the universe would be an easier task than to conquer her.

The game players also saw that fairy Yunhua was very close to Chen Jin every day, and she often smiled at him. Because of this scene, Chen Jin was met with challenges and provocation from other players wherever he went in the game. Wherever he went, he was forced to reveal and use his full abilities in a showdown. His life in the game was like a cliched novel.

This description might seem exaggerated, but it also showed the popularity of Mu Yunhua.

As for Guo Yan, she was treated as if she was invisible and was often ignored. The longer she played in the game, the angrier she felt.

One day she couldn’t bear it anymore. She had a breakdown and got into a big argument with them.

The three decided to withdraw from the game at the same time.

Only with this decision where they were able to emerge from these endless disputes and returned to an ordinary and mediocre life.

…

Of course, life on earth had not been ordinary during these past two decades.

It was no exaggeration to say that the War of Races had been escalating.

They had long ago shed all pretense of cordiality, ignored previous agreements, and fell into a state of war that would only end when one side was annihilated.

In the beginning, humans were the ones who bore greater stress. After all, it was a short time ago when they had suffered heavy losses.

However, after the Chens agreed to assist, it took less than five years for the federal government to regain its vitality, complete the reconstruction and stabilize the morale of the people. It had quickly established a firm foothold.

Then, the federal government managed to get a large number of resources, equipment, and technology from the Chen family through trade agreements, loans, etc. They even acquired the extremely powerful phoenix mecha.

With the cooperation of the two sides, it took another ten years before the strength of the Federation returned to what it was during its peak.

Immediately, the Protoss launched the opening of their counter-attack.

In just five years, through hundreds of large-scale battles, the Protoss suffered defeat after defeat. They lost hundreds of space fortresses, more than a dozen secret dimension spaces and the moon. They had no choice but to withdraw back to the earth where they were strictly sealed off from outside contact. The feeling of negativity and failure continued to spread and exacerbate.

The rise of mankind and its recovery was so fast. In just a little more than a decade, the humans had trained and accomplished enough to reverse the situation. Now, they forced the Protoss into desperate circumstances… This stunned every single Protoss; they found it unbelievable.

After putting aside their contempt for the humans and carefully analyzing the reasons for failure, while at the same time neglecting their incompetence, a human family entered their sights.

The Chen family!

With the help of from official branches of the Chen family, those humans had become more and more arrogant. And now they turned around to counter-attack them.

“Bang!”

This was the sound of someone furiously flipping a table.

A high-ranking Protoss roared, “The Chen family, it’s them again. They are always pitting themselves against us!”

“And that Chen family on earth, and even their relatives that originated from the Chen maternal lines. They may seem polite and respectable all these years, but in fact, they’ve been colluding. They are traitors that have repeatedly trapped and framed the Protoss.”

“The disappearance of the Wuyin Sage has an indistinct relationship with the Chen family.”

“And not to mention the human army’s phoenix mechas. Those mechas are one generation more advanced than our naga bio-mecha. All the weaknesses in the naga bio-mecha are completely under control in the phoenix mecha. We can’t deal with the new mecha… It is only the Chens who so clearly know the weakness and made targeted improvements, causing the Protoss to suffer great losses.”

“Evidence, evidence, you have always been demanding evidence all these years. But the many suspicions listed are conclusive evidence.”

An area of doubt did not constitute evidence, but when there were ten, even a hundred doubts, then there was no need to produce tangible evidence before one could directly conclude.

The Chen family on Earth was the largest group of renegades. They must be destroyed; they must be slaughtered!

After the upper echelons of the Protoss reached a consensus.

More than a hundred powerful clans dispatched powerful practitioners and mechas to the Chen family’s fortress, where they surrounded by the Chen family.

The troops of practitioners were like a mass of dark clouds. They numbered in the millions.

There were more than 50,000 of the naga bio-mechas that could kill the old freaks from the Shenguang order.

Such a huge force on earth was enough to destroy any organization.

Even the Tonghuang and Mugu clans who had always closely collaborated with the Chen family and were allies did not shield the Chen family this time around. Instead, they mobilized all of their master practitioners to join the party encircling the Chen family.

The Chen family was done for.

The leaders of the Tong Huang and Mugu clans had secretly issued the death penalty to the Chen family in their hearts.

“Offending three or five clans is one thing. How dare they double-deal and reveal the secrets of one clan to another clan, thereby offending all Protoss?”

“They’re dead! This branch of the Chen family on earth will all be slaughtered, all of them from the top to the bottom.”

“You must defeat the Chen family! We must use the blood of the Chen family to wash away the shame that the Protoss have suffered.”

“Yes, we’ll annihilate the Chen family and show them what we’re made of.”

Curses abounded~

The joint army of the Protoss appeared on the outskirts of the Chen family’s fortress in their vast entirety and launched its attack.

Countless ripples appeared on the huge protective shield.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

The fortress was met with continuous and fearsome attacks by millions of Protoss practitioners over three days and nights. Even so, the defense formation of the fortress remained rock steady and impenetrable.

The eyes of many Protoss suddenly grew green with envy.

“To maintain such a large formation for three days and nights, just how many spirit stones does the Chen family have?”

“Even if they have a mountain of spirit stones, there’s no way that it can last through such use!”

“Attack, we continue to attack, there must be endless treasures waiting for us in this fortress!”

The more the Protoss practitioners attacked, the redder their eyes grew, and the fierier their hearts became.

Hence, the reserves of spiritual energies in their bodies were gradually and unconsciously reduced. Some had even spent it all.

In the absence of spirit stones, supplementary efforts such as meditation to restore themselves would take far longer than three days.

This showed that their level of cultivation had been reduced to some extent.

Until the afternoon of the fourth day.

Hundreds of Shenguang practitioners launched their attacks at the same time.

There was a moment when the defense formation of the fortress became extremely distorted. It burst like a soap bubble with a bang.

The defense formation was broken.

Countless Protoss grew excited. Infinite treasures and spiritual stones, here we come!

“Rat-tat-tat~”

Suddenly, an intense and dense, yet fragmented sound rang out from behind. It sounded a bit like the cutting sound made by a chainsaw.

“Ah!”

“Ah ah!”

A large number of Protoss practitioners were shot in the back, and they fell screaming onto the ground, where they died.

Those still alive turned around and looked.

Countless Protoss died.

Unwittingly, the naga bio-mechas dispatched by the clans gathered together and stood in a neat arrangement. They lifted the celestial sniper cannons on their arms and poured spiritual energy into it. Locking onto the Protoss as their targets, the cannons were violently fired.

It took only for a moment.

Tens of thousands of Protoss practitioners died due to the defection of the naga bio-mechas.

The “back door” installed inside the naga bio-mechas played a huge role at this moment.

Then, the mechas continued to raise their cannons, gather energy, aim and shoot… They entered an unrelenting killing mode.

There were also more than 100,000 of the naga bio-mecha second generation in the fortress. They took to the sky or occupied higher points and lifted the celestial machine guns or sniper cannons on their arms, cruelly harvesting lives.

“Ah!”

“Ah ah!”

“Hurry, run!”

There were countless screams, and deserters who had lost their minds.

Hundreds of Protoss clans suffered heavy casualties. The entire race was nearly wiped out.

There was no possibility that they could restore their vitality even in another hundred years.

A small number of Protoss, who lost their bravery, threw away their dignity to leave some offspring and prevent the whole race from dying out. They knelt on the ground and expressed their surrender, begging the Chen family to let them live.

The Chen family discussed these requests. They agreed to the concept collected a group of Protoss lackeys.

At this time, the Federation’s special attack fleet stationed outside the atmosphere received news that the Protoss coalition had failed in their besiegement of the Chen family fortress and lost 80% to 90% of their troops.

They too announced that they would launch a counter-attack against the Protoss.

Innumerable fighter jets drilled into the atmosphere, dragging a trail of fire behind them, and joined the final pursuit.

…

Two weeks later.

After destroying all remaining resistance forces, the human federal army gained control of all the situations on the planet.

After a hundred years, the control of earth returned to human hands.

Human beings had regained their homeland.

Tens of millions were deeply moved by the event and the celebration went on for several days….. The success of the counter-attack and the defeat of the enemy was touching.

But recapturing their homeland was just the beginning.

The difficulty laid in what was after – administration… It was the principle of conquering the world is easy, managing it is difficult.

Because of the intelligent lifeforms living on the earth, the billions of Protoss… They occupied almost every corner of the earth. They had proliferated for generations and set down deep roots.

If the humans were to relocate so many Protoss, it would cause a rebellion and the stability of the regime would drop sharply.

After all, the earth was also the “homeland” of the billions of Protoss.

Violent evictions would only lead to severe consequences.

And if they were not evicted? Then there would not be half an inch of unused land on earth suitable for human immigration.

The tens of billions of Protoss… became a troublesome issue.

One representative gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t we kill them all, just like how they treated the humans.” He proposed an extremely cruel plan.

But it was rejected… After all, human beings were civilized and intelligent creatures. It was impossible to make such a cruel decision that had no limits.

At this time, the representative from the Chen family suggested that everyone found agreeable.

“Integration. Let the Protoss and human beings merge. From now on, we are one regardless of race. We will become one civilization.”

“Actually, under the oppression and exploitation by the various Protoss clans, ordinary Protoss from the middle and lower classes have very low requirements when it comes to survival. It is enough for them if they could ensure that their family has sufficient food and clothing. They had never thought about fighting for human rights, freedom or to make trouble. The clans have destroyed their abilities to think.”

“Now, we are here and we’ve overthrown the degenerate upper echelons of the Protoss. We’ve freed them from oppression, freed them from their shackles, then brought them food, warmth, equality, and dignity… After giving them these, the middle and lower classes will no longer see us as the enemy, but friendly liberators.”

“Most of the Protoss at the bottom of the hierarchy will wholeheartedly protect the regime of the Federation. They’ll even be willing to against the evil forces to protect this Federation and defend the good life. They will defend all those that have not come easy to them.”

“The tens of billions of Protoss will be a very obedient part of the Federation in the future,” Chen Jin said with a smile.

“But…”

Under Chen Jin’s oppressive gaze, the hard-core representative opposing the Protoss had no choice but to say, “I support this solution, but… Don’t forget that there are three Sages left within the Protoss. Each of them has the power to squeeze our Earth until it explodes.”

How could humans change the direction of control under the scrutiny of the Sages and incorporate the Protoss under the control of the human beings of the earth?

Even in theory, it was impossible to succeed in this.

“Haha, the Sages?”

Chen Jin laugh chillingly, he let Chen Junfeng replace him, who said calmly, “Let us handle this matter. It will take three to five days. Even if they are the Sages, the Chen family will have a way to make them obedient to us and serve us.”

…

Sure enough, three days later.

The three Protoss Sages did not take any action. They had, incredulously, tacitly agreed to a new structure that was dominated by the humans and in which, the Protoss were subordinated.
