in gaming terms, they’ve already cleared the game called “Earth” and collected every achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having grown and expanded, they now indulge in pleasure and await death, freezing their bodies before their biological functions cease, waiting for the day Earth’s medical technology advances enough to revive them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All humans die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they refuse to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With infinite wealth, why should they breathe the same air as ordinary people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should they be doomed to live less than a hundred years like commoners?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Earth’s current medical technology cannot extend their lives—they must accept the reality that all men must die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tragic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And pitiful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest torment in life is to die before your money is spent...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until one day, they learned of the existence of the Yuanwu Continent—a world of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon discovering that the Yuanwu Continent possessed elixirs called Zhu Yuan Dan and demon cores capable of turning ordinary people into warriors and extending lifespans, they finally ceased their suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sensed a scent beyond wealth and power—the vibrant, intoxicating life force radiating from Yuanwu Continent’s warriors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo’s revelation two days ago—that the Yuanwu Continent’s silver price was ten times Earth’s—was not only the spark for a global financial storm, but also the fuse that ignited the super conglomerates’ ambitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They yearned for the two worlds to connect, even if Earth had to be invaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there was a single hope, they would never abandon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike state machinery, these super conglomerates need not worry about too many constraints;

it contains self-sustaining systems for power, water, oxygen, and waste processing, with food stores sufficient to feed one thousand people for a hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each super conglomerate possesses several such apocalyptic bunkers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This particular bunker belongs to the Rockefeller family, an energy titan and oil magnate ranked among the top ten global super conglomerates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a dim meeting room in the Rockefeller family bunker is hosting a crucial family gathering, attended by thirteen members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting is chaired by Adam Rockefeller, the eldest son of the current patriarch; the other twelve attendees are all core family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting room has no electric lights or any electrical devices, nor even power outlets—only a few white candles provide illumination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This setup is a tradition among these ancient families, designed to prevent surveillance by high-tech devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Rockefeller stared intently at the flickering candle flames, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the centuries-old conference table; he felt immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father, the current patriarch of the Rockefeller family, had just undergone surgery yesterday—his seventh heart replacement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the surgery succeeds, he may live a few more years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it fails, he must be immediately frozen, awaiting the day Earth’s medical technology advances enough to revive him and restore his health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the surgery, his father, weak and barely able to speak, ordered him: “Adam! My life depends on the elixirs of the Yuanwu Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two worlds connect next year, you must secure them for me—by any means necessary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam could not defy his father’s command—not even when facing a dying man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam stopped tapping the table and spoke gravely to the attendees: “The existence of the Yuanwu Continent is an unparalleled opportunity—an opportunity for us, the elite who have already reached Earth’s summit, to ascend further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We must crush the Yuanwu Continent beneath our feet, just as we once conquered the Americas...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Adam glanced at the white-bearded elder seated at the head of the right-hand side, signaling him to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-bearded elder was the most brilliant mind in the Rockefeller family, the core of its think tank, and overseer of part of its intelligence apparatus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was hoarse yet sharp: “Other families are doing the same as us—secretly pushing for international alliances and military buildup—but we still cannot sway China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, I’ve learned that China has demanded Cang Luo ensure the teleportation array is anchored within Chinese territory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anchored within Chinese territory?” Adam frowned in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can China guarantee the Yuanwu Continent’s intent isn’t invasion? Aren’t they afraid of being the first to be annihilated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or has China already contacted the upper echelons of the Profound Heaven Sect and learned their intent isn’t invasion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And can Cang Luo even determine the teleportation array’s location?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendees raised a flood of questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-bearded elder shook his head firmly: “Cang Luo will never allow anyone but himself to interact with the otherworlders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why he wants the array anchored in China, or whether he can influence its location—that only he knows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent as everyone pondered the implications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long moments passed before someone spoke sharply: “We cannot let the array be anchored in China—China wouldn’t dare this without confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>China must intend to control the array, to monopolize the only gateway to the Yuanwu Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all of the Yuanwu Continent’s resources will become China’s spoils.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the room agreed. Adam spoke gravely: “Then we’ll have Cang Luo anchor the array in a region we control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-bearded elder nodded: “To make Cang Luo obey us, we must kidnap his family. Fortunately, his family is currently protected by the international coalition—and we have agents among them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam said coldly: “I give you one month...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo, on the Yuanwu Continent, was unaware that a crisis was approaching his family on Earth—planning to kidnap them to threaten him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these two days, he had been livestreaming in the demon beast forests; he was already aware of the financial storm triggered by the Yuanwu Continent’s silver price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo felt deep guilt and remorse for the families ruined by this financial storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Weiguo had called him three times, warning him not to reveal any more Yuanwu Continent information to ordinary Earth people, lest further unrest occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for these two days, Cang Luo avoided all topics that might affect ordinary Earth people’s lives in his livestreams, speaking only of demon beasts and cultivation techniques—things visible but intangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo continued livestreaming, facing the camera: “My cultivation is currently at Warrior Ninth Layer, still within the First-Stage Warrior range, but First-Stage demon beasts are no longer a match for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel it’s necessary to venture deeper into the demon beast forests and challenge a Second-Stage demon beast—to see what effect its demon core has. What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens naturally agreed, flooding the screen with “66666.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, although Cang Luo’s otherworld livestream was unique and unmatched, watching him team up with the Flame-Devouring Wolf to slaughter First-Stage demon beasts had grown dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite the boredom, the number of Earth viewers watching Cang Luo’s livestream hadn’t decreased—it kept growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no one dared miss even a single word he said—what if it revealed information more valuable than the silver price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making his decision, Cang Luo cautiously ventured deeper into the demon beast forests under satellite guidance, searching for Second-Stage demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the territory of Second-Stage demon beasts, Cang Luo quickly spotted one—a blue-tinted feline beast, its entire body a deep azure, chasing its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its prey was a ragged young girl...\u003C\u002Fp>",1418,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1703db2d92239f96efe57dd0ec7b5c61e61ee186bac86220919bc11dd4e3ebbd","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-104","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-102",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
