Chapter 24: The First Person Under the Gods, Humanity's Future Enemy

Ye Xuan wouldn't judge whether it was correct for the young Wangquan Baye to go outside the circle, but if it were him, without the strength to surpass the Demon Emperors inside the circle, he would never place himself in an unknown and dangerous environment.

Following Ye Xuan going offline, Su Mengyao, after turning off her phone, still couldn't accept it.

She even somewhat suspected that even if Ye Xuan didn't have the Wangquan Baye template, relying on his own sword path talent, it would be enough for him to become a top strong person in the future.

Relying on himself to comprehend Wangquan Wan Wan Jianyi? Is this something humans can do?

Wangquan Baye, Wangquan Wumu, and Wangquan Fugui at least had the Wangquan Sword as a reference, but you have nothing.

It's impossible that you traced the source and comprehended the Wangquan Wan Wan Jianyi relying on the Wangquan Sword Art and Heaven and Earth Sword carried by the template, right?

Also, aren't you a student? Why are you working so hard on cultivation?

Don't you play games? Don't you watch anime?

Don't you have any entertainment activities at all?

And what the hell is your final "Just this bit of strength is far from enough to protect myself in the current era"?

Currently, only Li Lao, who obtained the Emperor Yanwang template, is stronger than you among humans, right?

That is the template of a god; you are now the first person under the gods in name and reality.

If such strength is not enough for you to protect yourself, what strength is?

You don't want to surpass Li Lao, do you?

"Is this the true youthful arrogance and high spirits?"

"I think I know why you were able to obtain the Wangquan Baye template."

"Perhaps, you are the self that Wangquan Baye missed and yearned for most after returning from outside the circle."

Su Mengyao shook her head, but there was a bit more of a smile on her face.

For her, the stronger Ye Xuan's talent was and the faster his strength improved, the greater her benefits would be; the Tianshu Bureau isn't something one can join just by awakening superpowers and possessing treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos, or have the qualifications to let them choose to cooperate with them.

Talent, potential, character, value!

They have to consider from all aspects whether the other party has the qualifications to join the Tianshu Bureau.

As one of the people in charge of the Tianshu Bureau, the invitation quota in her hands is not much; if the growth speed of the superpowered individuals and holders of treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos she signed contracts with does not match their judgment and is far lower than their assumptions, then she, as the person in charge, will also have to be responsible for this.

But correspondingly, if the superpowered individuals and holders of treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos she signed contracts with can erupt with a speed of becoming stronger far exceeding her initial expectations, then she will also obtain various resources for "upward mobility" and go higher.

Originally, her idea was to wait until Ye Xuan increased his compatibility with the Wangquan Baye template a bit more before reporting Ye Xuan's strength progress to the higher-ups and then applying for more resources for Ye Xuan; but now it seems she can prepare early.

"By the way, some wild animals in the Hangcheng Nature Reserve have mutated and have already been blocked by us."

"Although it hasn't been launched in the mission function yet, if you are interested, you can go to the Hangcheng Nature Reserve to hunt later."

"But be careful not to hunt too many."

"Mutated creatures are also a type of resource nowadays."

"I have opened the permission for you, you can just go when the time comes, and someone will meet you."

Afterward, Su Mengyao, as if remembering something, told Ye Xuan about the Hangcheng Nature Reserve.

Although the mutated creatures are only initially mutated, their strength has become much stronger. Even in front of human firearms, they are still fragile, but for ordinary people, they have fatal dangers, so the nature reserve has already been blocked, and even the safe zone does not allow tourists to visit.

In fact, the concept of a nature reserve no longer exists now.

Before the Qi recovery, the purpose of humans building nature reserves was to protect biodiversity, provide habitats for endangered species, maintain ecological balance, maintain the stability of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands, ensure their normal functions, regulate the climate, and protect water resources and soil.

After the Qi recovery, the so-called nature reserve became the territory of mutated creatures. All lives with aptitude inside would evolve toward a higher life level under the nourishment of Qi, and those without aptitude would be eliminated.

Perhaps these wild animals are still weak now, but in the future, they have the possibility of becoming enemies of humanity.

They cannot protect a group of lives that will become enemies of humanity in the future.

As for why they don't kill all those lives in the nature reserve now, or forcibly control them, to prevent the possibility of more and more wild animals mutating and attacking humans under the Qi tide in the future.

On one hand, it is because mutated creatures have extremely high value to humans.

The stronger the mutated creature, the higher the value. If used well, it has a not-insignificant effect on promoting the country's development. They are reluctant to kill them all because of some uncertain possibilities.

On the other hand, it is public opinion.

Although they can foresee that as the concentration of Qi on Blue Star becomes more intense in the future, the strength of mutated creatures will become stronger and their life level will become higher, they will need more food, more land, and more resources, thus becoming enemies of humanity.

But in a situation where nothing has happened yet, if they slaughter these mutated creatures that haven't done anything yet on a large scale, they will definitely be hit by public opinion.

Perhaps the reason they do this is to protect humanity, but before they have really been attacked by mutated creatures and have not experienced the pain of people around them being killed by mutated creatures, who cares?

They will only arrogantly feel that they are just venting their killing desire.

Even if this is their guess, who is willing to bear such consequences?

No one.

So, let everything wait until after the Qi tide. By then, they will realize that there is no such thing as harmonious coexistence between humanity and mutated creatures.

Since Ye Xuan is interested in the flesh and blood of mutated creatures, she just happens to take this opportunity to give Ye Xuan the permission to enter the Hangcheng Nature Reserve to hunt some mutated creatures, which also happens to hone his combat experience.

However, Ye Xuan was already offline at this time, so he naturally couldn't see Su Mengyao's message, and Su Mengyao, after sending the message to Ye Xuan, also began to prepare documents to report Ye Xuan's talent to the higher-ups and ask for more resources.

Ye Xuan is no longer a genius in growth, a strong person in the future, but the well-deserved second in the whole world today.

He is the one who needs resources the most.

It doesn't matter if other holders of treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos progress slowly. Anyway, giving them resources won't make their growth much faster.

Devil Fruit users?

How much time will it take for them to be promoted to Admirals or Yonko and develop the Devil Fruit to the level of awakening?

Five years, ten years, or more?

The real world doesn't have Kaido of the Beasts to teach them.

Holders of Zanpakuto?

Let them improve their own spiritual power first. If they can't even achieve Shikai, what's the use of knowing the name?

Without Ichigo Kurosaki's aptitude, it's not certain they can have much strength even in decades.
