Chapter 1242: The Start of a Great War
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu thought that this was strange. After he had risen to the Master Realm, why did he still encounter so many accidents when earning distress points?
He saw how the Ninth Heavenly King was about to achieve a world-class image. Why was it so difficult for him to obtain distress points?
Lu Shu was indignant. What on earth was happening, they did not allow him to remain on Earth?
Lu Shu stood up from the sofa and walked towards the weapon refinery building. However, he was dumbstruck when he reached the door. It had only been a day since he last visited the place and there was a statue at the door?
What the f*ck?!
He took a closer look at the statue and saw the words on the base “You should be grateful for people who made great contributions… This statue is built in memory of the contribution by the Ninth Heavenly King for the inheritance of weapon refinery.”
Lu Shu’s face turned black. He saw the handwriting of Ouyang Lishang at the base. This statue was most probably built by Ouyang Lishang. As a person who liked to suck up to others, he was definitely able to do something like this!
After walking into the weapon refinery building, Lu Shu realized that everyone was looking at him with admiration. This made him extremely uncomfortable, he was just trying to earn some distress points, was that wrong?!
Zhong Yutang walked towards Lu Shu and said after wiping his sweat, “I did my job well. Now, none of them blame you and are extremely grateful for you!”
“Haha.” Lu Shu almost flipped the table. He called Ouyang Lishang over and asked, “Have you calculated how long it will take for the World Tide to be built?”
Ouyang Lishang said while giving him a glance, “In the past, I thought it was a miracle if nine could be built within a week. Now, I think we can aim for 120!”
Although the most time-consuming problem of building the foundations was addressed, the carving of the mark posed a restriction to the final yield. After all, this could not be replaced by machines.
Lu Shu felt that the state of the Earth in the future would be such that people and technology worked hand-in-hand. It should be more balanced than the state in the Luniverse.
120 of those, Lu Shu gave it some deep thoughts. Now, there were over 50 Imperial Palace Soldiers in the Wei Wu Army, it was sufficient!
However, at this moment, there was suddenly a huge wave of energy on the Longmen Mountain. Lu Shu paused and thought, whatever was supposed to happen had happened.
Lu Shu turned and said to Ouyang Lishang, “We have to be faster. The space pathway may close in five days!”
Ouyang Lishang understood Lu Shu’s instructions and returned to the weapon refinery laboratory. Everyone had to work without rest, they just had to last through these five days!
During this period of time, everyone knew that the space pathway would open eventually but everyone hoped that the day would not arrive so soon. That was because after this opening, there would definitely be casualties..
When the space pathway opened, everyone knew that they had to face the things they were supposed to face.
The commotion in the Longmen Fortress gradually stopped as though it was the calm before the storm. Nobody dared to talk loudly.
Everyone was busy working. It was not because their character had changed drastically overnight and became someone who did not like to talk. Rather, it was because they had felt the intense pressure.
What surprised Lu Shu in these five days was that there were many people waiting at the entrance of the space pathway in North America. When the space pathway opened, they charged into Earth and seized all the resources they could see, including humans.
This did not feel like something that was done by an organization. It felt more like a school of sharks who swam towards something after smelling blood.
The slave owners of the Luniverse were there to “eat people”!
Lu Shu caught a slave owner directly and handed him over to Zhong Yutang for interrogation. However, what surprised him was that they did not interact with each other. The only reason was because they obtained the information about Earth and was very aware that the Practitioners on Earth were much weaker than those in the Luniverse.
Someone intentionally spread the news that the Earth was weak and used the population to attract the slave owners. However, they hid the truth about how the Black Feather Army had been destroyed by the Earth. There were also rumors that although the Black Feather Army had killed 20,000 soldiers, they were killed by Duanmu Huangqi as their energy had been depleted.
Nobody could prove that. Duanmu Huangqi would not admit that she had been defeated and 20,000 soldiers of the Black Feather Army had died in vain.
The Heavenly Network wanted to stay out of this matter initially. However, they did not have a choice as they could not allow the slave owners of the Luniverse to steal resources like that. Therefore, Lu Shu made a trip personally.
When Lu Shu arrived, blood was everywhere outside the space pathway in North America. The people who had stolen resources returned to the Luniverse as someone had recognized Lu Shu, the leader of the Wei Wu Army! Lu Shu, who was rumored to be killed by Duanmu Huangqi in the legends was not dead, there was an error in the report
To be honest, Lu Shu’s fame was much more useful in the Luniverse than on Earth.
On Earth, the Ninth Heavenly King’s identity was “saved” by those he had “saved” in the jail.
In the Luniverse, the name of the owner of the Wei Wu Army was obtained by killing others.
Two of his identities represented two different attitudes. When the people from the Luniverse who just entered to steal resources found out about his identity, they were afraid to say anything. They knew that the 20,000 soldiers of Duanmu Huangqi had been killed, so they would definitely not escape unscathed!
Then, the outcome was that although there was nobody guarding the space pathway in North America, none of the slave owners from the Luniverse dared to enter. The title “good guy Ninth Heavenly King” once again spread overseas and upgraded to become the “guardian of the people”.
If nothing went wrong, it was extremely difficult for Lu Shu to obtain a large amount of trauma and distress points overseas.
On the fifth morning, Zhang Weiyu and the rest returned to their rooms and wore their armor, took their weapons and waited quietly in the courtyard.
Everyday, the Wei Wu Army lurked in the canteen and some stole drinks. After Lu Shu scolded them, they replied and said that he punished them rightly and shouted in pain after being beaten up.
The soldiers of the Heavenly Network looked at this from afar. They realized that when the Wei Wu Army wore their armor, they instantly changed from the “hooligans” to real warriors.
The Heavenly Network had encountered a great war before. However, as compared to the Wei Wu Army, their experience was insufficient and they had killed too few people.
Be it the strife in the North Region or killing the Black Feather Army from the North Region to the Earth, the blood and fire that the Wei Wu Army had experienced were way more than that of the Heavenly Network. When the Wei Wu Army walked on the limestone brick road, they were at their peak.
However, the army that was sufficiently terrifying would only listen to Lu Shu.
The entire Longmen Fortress was silent. The soldiers of the Heavenly Network were paying attention to the Wei Wu Army. Many of them were very envious of the Wei Wu Army as they had known that after the space pathway to the Luniverse opened, only the Wei Wu Army would advance to the Luniverse. The Heavenly Network had to guard the Earth with all its might.
Lu Shu had yet to appear because he was waiting for the World Tide!
