Chapter 158 Lu Fa's debt of gratitude can never be repaid
Hope lies on the outskirts of the city, at the Demon-Suppressing Tower!
"Are you really sure Lufa's spaceship is here?"
Inside the tower, after glancing around at the twenty-three ferocious-looking Netherworld Demon statues, Welcome asked with some uncertainty.
She was the only one who came here with Russell. Her grandmother and Qing Zizai stayed in the shop to take care of Youzi, while Xiao Tian and Xiao Gang were sent by Russell to find An Mixiu and Qiao Shefei.
"Don't doubt my intelligence capabilities." Russell held Balu's genetic code in his hand, using his divine sense to pinpoint the exact location of the spaceship deep underground.
That's right, Balu has successfully defeated the demon. Although Xiaotian held back against the Netherworld Demon because of the agreement he made with Anmixiu, Russell would not let go of this insect personally certified by the Flame Emperor. Insects should be swatted to death; that's only right.
And so, the originally cold and aloof Netherworld Demon has become the fragrant genetic code in Russell's hands.
"Found it." As Russell's divine sense perceived it, a huge spaceship appeared in Russell's sea of consciousness deep underground.
The spaceship lies dormant hundreds of meters below the rock layers. Its massive hull is as large as a mountain, entirely silver-white, and covered with thick layers of earth and rock.
"So, how are you planning to take the spaceship away? Are you going to just blow up the tower?" Welcome asked with some curiosity.
If she were to blow up the tower, she would have to explain the situation to the police and contact the government beforehand.
Russell shook his head: "No need for that."
As he enveloped the entire spaceship completely with his divine sense, the spaceship manifested within his inner world.
"OK, all done." Russell snapped his fingers, turned around, and greeted everyone, "Time to go home for dinner."
"Huh?" Welcome was taken aback. Why are you leaving so soon after arriving? Aren't you going to take the spaceship?
On his way back to Huanhuan Teppanyaki, Russell was already considering what to do next.
Now that he has the spaceship, this is basically the extent of the opportunities he can obtain in the Xingtian world.
After that, it's nothing more than the Vajra Pestle and the Asura Armor.
Geng made the Vajra Pestle, which was located beneath the Demon-Suppressing Tower. He then stored it within his inner world, ready to use it at any time.
As for the Asura Armor, at this point in time, who knows where it is. If he can find it, great; if not, so be it, it doesn't matter.
He had already decided that in a few days, on an auspicious day, he would go to the BaWang Group to behead Lu Fa, reap a bountiful harvest of lottery chances, and then travel to other worlds through the World Anchor, waiting for the Sky Gate to complete its charging.
Just kidding. If you're not strong enough, you'd have to follow the storyline. But now that he's at the fourth level, if he still follows the storyline, wouldn't all his training be for nothing? He'll definitely have to go all out and brute force his way through. He's playing the game of one-click sweep and speedrun.
Three hours later, in the lounge of Huanhuan Teppanyaki.
Xiao Tian and Xiao Gang, the two armor summoners, sat solemnly on one side of the card table, facing An Mixiu and Qiao Shefei, the two squad leaders of the Netherworld Legion, whose expressions were equally grave.
In contrast, Russell's smile gradually became distorted and perverse.
At the entrance to the lounge, Yinghuan shook her head helplessly. Leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, she complained to Qing Zizai standing next to her, "Before tonight, I really never imagined that one day the Netherworld Demon would be sitting at the same card table as the Armor Warrior."
"Let's become peasants together and rebel against the landlords."
Qing Zizai couldn't help but add, "He's still a farmer who hasn't won a single game in three hours."
17
Upon hearing this, the four farmers immediately blushed with embarrassment.
What nonsense! What kind of talk is that! They're feigning weakness to lure the enemy! It's a strategy! Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand!
Moreover, they had clearly won the previous few games.
With such strategic deployment and meticulous planning, the landlord once again achieved victory a minute later.
"You guys are no good either. You call yourselves captains?" Without any hesitation, Russell withdrew his divine sense from the entire room and immediately turned his hostile attitude toward Qiao Shefei.
"Huh? You! Me!" Qiao Shefei was speechless, his face flushed red, and he couldn't squeeze out a complete sentence.
He only won a few games against Russell at the beginning and subconsciously made a few sarcastic remarks in front of Huan Ying. Is it really necessary to hold a grudge like this?
How can the human heart in this universe be so narrow-minded?
Xiao Tian rubbed his temples and quickly tried to smooth things over: "How about we stop here for today? Business is more important."
An Miu Xiu readily agreed without hesitation: "I have secretly contacted several comrades who are unwilling to continue the killing. If you agree, Xiao Tian, we can arrange for them to come and meet us tomorrow."
"If that's the case, that would be best. As long as they sincerely repent and reform, the Earth will sincerely accept them," Xiao Tian earnestly promised.
Welcome, Qing Zizai, and the others had no objection to this. Earth already had fairies and Martians, so adding a few more Aresians wouldn't be a big deal.
Xiao Gang suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up to ask, "What about Aku? Is he willing?"
An Miu Xiu and Qiao Shefei exchanged a glance and shook their heads. An Miu Xiu said with some regret, "There's no one on Earth that Ku Fens cares about anymore. He won't agree."
"And what about you guys?" Qing Zizai stood in the doorway, hands in the pockets of his tracksuit, and suddenly asked curiously, "So there are people on Earth you care about?"
He didn't think much of it; he was simply curious about who these powerful figures were that could make the two captains of the Netherworld Legion willing to give up returning to their homeland to wash away their shame in order to stay.
Then he saw An Miu Xiu look at Youzi, and Qiao Shefei look at Huan Ying.
An Miu knew that Youzi and Xiaotian were in love, and he did not want to ruin their relationship. He only glanced at them before looking away.
Qiao Shefei, on the other hand, looked at the welcoming gazes without any attempt to conceal them; his expression was quite frank and ardent.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Huanqing made an excuse to go see Yuzu and fled the room.
"Hey, hey, hey, we're still here, at least tone it down a bit." Russell glanced at Qiao Shefei. Is that all the grit he has? He calls himself both intelligent and brave? He's got no brains at all.
An Miu smiled and shook his head, then his expression turned serious as he steered the conversation back on track: "The problem now lies in the Ares Assembly Order in the General's possession."
Ares's Assembly Order is the core command of the Nether Legion and one of Ares's four known mandatory orders. Although it can only be applied to the same target once, the three captains are no longer afraid, but their subordinates have no ability to stop it.
Once Lufa uses Ares's rallying order, their wills will be forcibly manipulated, and they will obey his commands against their will.
"This isn't a big problem." Russell raised his hand, and purple divine power condensed in his palm, forming ten purple-gold talismans: "Although I can't undo the Ares Gathering Order with my current abilities, I can add a few more mental barriers in addition to the Gathering Order. As long as they can't break through the restrictions I set, the Gathering Order will not take effect."
The Ares Rallying Order is a technological product, a mandatory command at the genetic level, and one of the top secrets of the Ares civilization. At his current level, he indeed cannot crack it, but he can use the methods of cultivation to set up a restriction deep within the Netherworld Demon's spiritual platform. He does not need to understand the coding rules of those genes; he only needs to use his divine sense to build a wall to keep the rallying order outside.
In this way, the genetic code of the rallying order is like a cell phone with its signal blocked—just a brick.
"You can do that?!" Qiao Shefei looked at the talisman in Russell's hand in surprise and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm really curious now which planet you're from, that you have something so amazing."
He'd seen aliens before; back in the day, he was a tough guy who single-handedly took down fifty space pirates. He'd tried all sorts of tough things, but this was the first time he'd seen someone like Russell who could make a fuss about the Ares rallying order.
"The Big Dipper," Russell uttered without changing his expression.
Qiao Shefei carefully read the name aloud and memorized it. When he got tired of staying on Earth, he would go to Beidou Star to find Russell. There should be many people as capable as him there.
"So, now that we've finished discussing business, shall we continue?" Russell shuffled the cards smoothly and looked at everyone with great interest; he had become addicted to the thrill of winning.
"Come on!" Qiao Shefei rolled up his sleeves. He refused to believe that he really couldn't win a single game tonight.
"We lost, we lost completely—" As dawn broke, Qiao Shefei slumped in his seat, his eyes lifeless, as if all his energy had been drained away.
He lost all night and was mocked by Russell all night. Now he feels that he lost not the cards, but his dignity.
Now, whenever he closes his eyes, all he hears in his mind is Bertrand Russell's "That's it," and he feels he will never play cards again in his life.
"Hey buddy, don't feel bad about losing to me." Russell patted Joe Sheffield on the shoulder with a cheerful smile.
He won all night, it was incredibly exhilarating, he was completely satisfied.
The card game that night was started by the two of them. An Miu Xiu and Xiao Tian, these two best friends, were just forced to join because there weren't enough people. Seeing that the two of them had finally stopped playing, they breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Tian yawned, his eyes gleaming with dark circles, and said to An Mixiu, "Go call someone, I'm going to take a nap. See you this afternoon."
Aside from having a strong willpower, he was just an ordinary Earthling. His physical abilities were naturally no match for those of superhumans. They could go three days and three nights without sleep, but he couldn't. If he didn't get some sleep soon, he felt he would definitely die suddenly.
"No problem." An Miu Xiu readily agreed. Although he was in better spirits than Xiao Tian, he still looked a bit tired.
In fact, having lived as a human for so long, some of his habits had been assimilated. For example, even now, after not sleeping all night, he was feeling a bit tired, though it was all just his imagination.
If you really think he's in a weak period and foolishly come to assassinate him, he'll pull out his machete and chop you into a pulp in no time.
After informing the others, Russell also entered his inner world.
Under the azure sky, the Avast hovered quietly on the plain in front of him.
This thing is far more advanced than the spaceship in his space; it's like the difference between a bicycle and a spaceship.
The weapons carried by the Afas were all high-end, planet-destroying weapons. In terms of destructive power alone, they would be considered divine weapons at the first level of the Dao-slaying realm in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. One shot could shatter stars and collapse the void.
But that's about it. If someone were to actually use this thing to bombard Beidou, they'd be completely out of their mind.
They really don't treat the Big Dipper like a tomb for the emperor. Based on the memory fragments given by An Miu Xiu, Russell adjusted the vibration frequency of his divine power to be the same as that of the spaceship, and the spaceship's door opened silently.
Russell walked in and found the storage room in the core area. As far as the eye could see, 26,000 planetary energy crystals shimmered before his eyes like stars.
So dazzling, so beautiful, so magnificent!
Russell took a piece of energy crystal from the cabin and held it in his hand. He could feel the immense power contained within it.
So————
Russell came outside the spaceship, held the energy crystal out with his arm, and the purple-gold sunlight shone on the energy crystal, making it sparkle.
The next moment, the energy crystal seemed to develop its own consciousness, floated up on its own, and slowly fell into the ground, sinking deep into the earth's core.
Centered on the point of impact, a massive surge of life energy erupted, washing over the once peaceful world at a visible speed. The purple earth began to tremble, mountains began to grow, and rivers began to rush.
From God's perspective, Russell could clearly see his inner world growing.
The world is like a living organism, giving rise to flesh and blood, spontaneously forming new soil.
Those newly born lands emerged from the void, spreading from the edges and surging up from the depths of the earth, layer upon layer, piece by piece, pushing the originally finite world outwards and to farther places.
It felt strange, like watching a seed sprout in the soil, break through the earth, take root and grow leaves.
As the master of the inner world, he also received a corresponding boost during this transformation.
Russell clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking. The blood within him surged like a mighty river, wave after wave crashing against his meridians and bones. His divine power visibly boiled, and a purplish-gold light emanated from his body, burning into flames around him and enveloping him entirely. The form of a true dragon involuntarily manifested, baring its fangs and claws, becoming increasingly refined.
This is just the effect of one energy crystal, and he has a total of 25,999 energy crystals like this!
In other words, as long as he is patient and willing to exchange time for cultivation, even if he does nothing from now on, once all the energy crystals are digested, even if he cannot sever the Dao, he can still become a sure-fire second-level immortal powerhouse!
With a grateful heart, I thank Lufa.
Russell secretly resolved that he would give Lufa a quick death once he found him, to repay his kindness in collecting so many energy crystals for him.
