Chapter 510: Audience with the God

On the other side, Nangong Yuhang had already taken the elite of Noah's Ark and boarded a private spacecraft headed for Kepler. He had made a grave mistake this time; he had assumed everything was foolproof, yet he had taken a massive tumble because of Li Hao. To this day, he could not fathom who on Earth had the ability to silently and simultaneously eliminate nine Dream Weavers, and they hadn't even had time to react, dying without a sound, leaving him with absolutely no information.

He had been cultivating in the Solar System for a long time, and this time, his efforts had fallen short at the final hurdle. Fortunately, he had long since laid out plans on Kepler, and now he had to pull in the net early. From the moment of his birth, as Noah, the redeemer of humanity, Nangong Yuhang had never lost. His greatest gamble had been seizing the body of Xilian, and once that had succeeded, he believed there was no one left in the Solar System who could stop him. The "Magic Li" in the eyes of others was merely his pawn, unaware of his own situation while caught in the middle of it.

At the mere thought of Li Hao, anger, jealousy, and unwillingness surged into his heart. He had never failed, nor had he ever miscalculated, yet where exactly had the problem been this time?

His layout was correct, the weaknesses he targeted were correct, and he had added several layers of insurance in succession; how could this not be considered foolproof?

Anlita, that damned woman—he knew women would ruin things. He shouldn't have kept her in the first place. If it weren't for his craving for Anlita's touch, and the fact that this woman was so obedient and let him do as he pleased, he would have eliminated her long ago. The result was truly damnable.

He suppressed his volatile emotions; he still had an ultimate trump card. He was going to Kepler to obtain even greater power from his god, and he would definitely reclaim all his humiliation!

Blee98: Seize Li Hao's body.

This was the previous mission. The mission had failed, but it was immediately followed by the activation of the next mission. Blee99: Bring the dependents to Kepler, audience with the god.

He was finally going to see his god. The god had guided him through Blee, step by step, allowing him to master the methods and power of the Nimeier Civilization, seize the body of Xilian, and achieve all of this. Everything had gone smoothly; it was just a tiny bit away from perfection.

His seemingly calm face turned into one of anticipation, because he believed that Li Hao's level was not worth mentioning in front of the god. The god would bestow upon him even greater power; this was destiny.

By his side was an old acquaintance, the Lone Wolf Romero. The person he had seen that day was indeed "Xilian," which was Nangong Yuhang. Nangong Yuhang needed a powerful main force, and Romero's strength was something even Li Hao greatly appreciated. How could he let such good goods go? Thus, he had been observing him all along, and even some of the "bullying" had been arranged by him to let Romero fall to the bottom, only to offer him redemption later—how could he not be manipulated? More importantly, the technology in his hands could help Romero recover, and even reach a higher level.

Just as Nangong Yuhang had expected, faced with such an opportunity, Romero agreed without hesitation. Living a life worse than death, he would grasp at any straw. When he was rolling in the mud and being bullied by others, Nangong Yuhang had given him dignity.

It was not just Romero, but also Fan Liweite, Jintaisabisen, Sa Wutian, Haidongsheng, and others. This was also the purpose of Nangong Yuhang during this period; he needed many people of this type to carry out the next step of the plan. Together, they would have an audience with the deity to obtain the strongest flesh and power.

Danger?

They were more concerned with failure. Of course, except for Romero, the others did not know the truth.

Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang returned to Tianjing Martial Arts. His family had been a bit frightened, but fortunately, A Youyou's reaction had been timely. With the Daliven guards and the timely intervention of the Wu Family, no problems had occurred. Of course, he felt that Nangong Yuhang had also miscalculated; he hadn't expected A Youyou to realize the problem, nor had he anticipated the Wu Family's rapid intervention. As for the Dream Weavers and such that Nangong Yuhang spoke of, it was likely just alarmist talk.

Outside, things were calm. Even the discovery of the Nimeier Civilization ruins had not been made public. In fact, the Four Great Federations had already begun to purge Noah's Ark. Previously, Noah's Ark had always been in the shadows, and having bribed many people, they had never suffered any major losses. But this time was different. The collapse of the Meraphis Family, combined with the technology they possessed, posed a huge threat to all of humanity. This was no longer a game. Although Ma'er did not have much of the Meraphis Family's power left, his final purpose in living was to wage an all-out war against Noah's Ark until he died in battle; he wanted to avenge Xilian.

Another Oldney Family in the NUP had benefited greatly. The Daliven Family had taken control of the Brotherhood and launched a comprehensive counterattack against Noah's Ark. Such anti-human things, especially the technology they possessed, had to be destroyed, or else there would be complete chaos.

Under this prevailing trend, the remnants of Noah's Ark were being captured or forced into hiding, gradually being dismantled. However, Nangong Yuhang had disappeared. As for the Nangong Family, it was certainly being thoroughly investigated, and the Ye Family was also implicated to a certain extent and was under investigation.

After such an incident, A Youyou had already been taken back by her family. She hadn't had time to say goodbye to Li Hao, but she had left a message for him through Wuzang, telling him not to worry and that no matter what the problem was, it would be solved.

In fact, Li Hao was also mentally prepared. With things having turned out like this, the Daliven Family certainly knew. All he could do was wait for news from A Youyou. He hadn't been able to contact Dita either; it seemed Dita was having a hard time as well.

Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang, this pair of brothers in misfortune—one facing a severe test, the other suffering from a broken heart—although they had Ma Laoshi as a life mentor, they found that at a time like this, no logic was of any use. Zuo Xiaotang was depressed, and Li Hao was on edge. Before the vacation ended, the two of them teamed up to deliver pizzas. Anyway, once the helmet was on, they didn't care about anything. Upon learning of Li Hao's situation, Wang Laoban's mood was also somewhat complicated, carrying a bit of anxiety and a bit of expectation. However, he still had a conscience. Colorful Pizza was also a major feature at Tianjing Martial Arts, and tourists coming here almost all had to check in. The story of Li Hao and Colorful Pizza was also widely circulated—a model of a comeback. Business was good, so the boss bought Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang new electric scooters.

The electric scooters were second-hand, but they were like new when bought.

Li Hao and Zuo Xiaotang, this pair of brothers, riding through the streets and alleys of Tianjing Martial Arts, could indeed ease their moods a bit.

"Zuo Xiaopang, I feel like your appetite is much better." Li Hao felt like an old father, gratified that he could still generate income. "Hao Ge, I've thought about it, you're in a tougher spot..." Zuo Xiaotang's eyes were filled with pity.

Suddenly, Li Hao wasn't as happy anymore; this would require a salary deduction.

The one who was more comfortable was Ma Laoshi. Ma Long was now the son-in-law of the Sheng Family. Sheng Man's parents had thought their life would just be like this. They only had one daughter, Sheng Man, who was very outstanding; not only had she been admitted to Tianjing Martial Arts, but her grades in school were also very good. They didn't expect to climb the social ladder, but they hoped their daughter's other half would be outstanding. They hadn't expected the family to suddenly encounter such a crisis. It was also because Sheng Man was too outstanding; sometimes, a beautiful woman is a disaster, and if you can't protect her, it's a catastrophe. They had already prepared themselves to live an ordinary life, but they hadn't expected a turn for the better. Ma Long had not only solved the problem but even had connections directly to the upper echelons of the Daliven Family.

Once the agency rights were obtained, the future in the Asian region was limitless. Spending some time to digest it and enter high society wouldn't be a big problem; this was also a leap. Moreover, high society was now rumored that the Meraphis Family was about to collapse, and the Daliven Family was about to enter its heyday, so they naturally rose with the tide. Of course, what Sheng Man and Ma Long cared about was not this, but that their problems had been solved.

"How is Li Hao now?" Sheng Man asked. She wasn't worried about the family's agency rights; anyway, since their crisis was solved, with Ma Long's and her own abilities, their future life wouldn't be bad.

"He and Zuo Xiaotang are delivering takeout every day to pass the time," Ma Long sighed, as if he were the only one among the brothers living a good life. "A Youyou is likely to face great pressure going back this time; it just depends on whether she can hold up."

"As a girl, I believe in A Youyou's feelings, but it's very hard for a girl to withstand the huge pressure of a family," Sheng Man said. "Not necessarily. I don't think A Youyou is an ordinary person; anyone who can win the Starship S Tournament is a person with a firm will."

"I don't doubt that, but in that kind of family, once they oppose something, there are many ways to do it," Sheng Man was even a little worried about Li Hao's safety. "Could it be like in the movies?"

"I don't know. I hope everything can be fine. After all, he just won the S Tournament, and Xilian is dead; it wouldn't be that extreme, would it?" "Is Zuo Xiaotang any better?"

"Zuoge is still a bit dazed. His taste is really something; why does he only pick the toxic women?"

"Anlita is really not a toxic woman. She is more infatuated and brave than anyone else; she just met the wrong person." Sheng Man actually stood up for Anlita; she just met the wrong person, which was truly miserable.

A lot of things had happened during this period. The Tianjing Martial Arts championship victory was still fermenting. Black Night Saber, Armor Leopard, and Iron Armor Steel Fist continued to be the three hottest mechas, with their influence spreading across the Four Great Federations. Of course, EMP would also pay the championship-winning Tianjing Martial Arts Academy a large sum of prize money for the construction of the academy. At the same time, they would release champion skins in the EMP Xuni Qu, and a portion of the revenue would also be donated to Tianjing Martial Arts. Added to the rewards and funding from the Federation, this year's Tianjing Martial Arts had suddenly gone from a middle-tier school to an upstart. Of course, the problems Long Danni needed to solve were still many. Last year, achieving some results was considered glorious, but the result was a hammer blow to the top of the head. The task facing them this year was very arduous: whether they could continue to maintain good results.

This was really hard to say. There were records of successful title defenses in the war zone, but no team had ever defended their title. Tianjing Martial Arts had changed from a dark horse to everyone's target. The liveliness of Tianjing Academy was still rising, and the students' enthusiasm was also continuously high. It would have to last for a period of time; such miracles were not common.

Li Xiangshan, Davalishi, and Klein were taken away by the Alliance for secret investigation. Li Xiangshan actually didn't know much, but Klein and Davalishi had participated in some things, but what they knew was still just the tip of the iceberg, yet this was enough to arouse everyone's concern.
