Chapter 109: Contact (Requesting Subscription)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several months later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yuanyu City, the weather gradually grew hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a villa district, inside a three-story villa with a red roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet chamber, Fang Xing sat cross-legged; within his crown chakra’s mind sea, the Eight-Armed Ox-Headed Mingwang appeared fearsome, each of its ritual implements seeming to flow with profound, dense spiritual essence, even the white bone skull beneath it looked lifelike, like a multitude of White Bone Contemplations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a guardian deity passed through the wall, arriving at the center of Fang Xing’s forehead and sinking into the Ox-Headed Mingwang’s embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ‘Great Golden Vajra Twin Guardian Deity’… has finally been completed, then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Fang Xing opened his eyes and murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since learning enough intelligence, he had asked Lan Fei to arrange a villa in Yuanyu City for his personal use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he came here, sat daily in meditation and trained his martial arts, silently waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continuously visualized and cultivated the “Heavenly Mother Virtuous Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Deity Scripture,” eavesdropping on the cultivation center’s activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this secret technique had achieved minor success:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heavenly Mother Virtuous Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Deity Scripture: 1\u002F100 (Proficient)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the proficient level, the guardian deity visualized and cultivated is sufficient for possession…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, during cultivation, Fang Xing inevitably eavesdropped on many private matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, that teacher Lan Fei—seemed sharp, capable, and efficient, making him utterly enamored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, she was a double agent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she report every detail of his schedule to Yin Huazhen, but she was also suspected of having ties to another faction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she believed she concealed it well, under Fang Xing’s guardian deity’s gaze, she was as defenseless as an open book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder high-level cultivators grow erratic and moody with age… Under divine awareness, all secrets are exposed—yet everyone has their own hidden desires…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he, about to take the college entrance exam and determined to become part of the Blue Star Federation’s elite, wasn’t he preparing to undermine the Federation itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since learning of the rebels’ plans, Fang Xing had reported nothing, merely watching events unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s a pity… Lan Fei was quite clever and resourceful, and she was once the original’s dream…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing rose and left the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Yuanyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside an abandoned factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei wore a blue work uniform, covered in grease, dismantling a scrapped hover car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re Liu Wei? Heard you’re in the same class as Fang Xing? He ranked third in the Hundred Stars—how come you’re so weak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another worker approached, lowering his voice to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a secret rebel base; all workers were rebels, each with false identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei’s expression remained blank; his muscles bulged as he ripped off the car hood with bare hands: “Does being in the same class mean you have to be equally strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the rebels, there was never a unified front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after Fang Xing became famous, many young rebels, resentful, would come to challenge Liu Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei didn’t hold back—he generally punched one kid after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they really think the rebels restricted them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they attended school together, only a handful of geniuses ever rose above the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest vanished into obscurity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘But all that’s past now. For someone to provoke me today… something’s off…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei thought this, walked to the back of the warehouse, and entered a basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the basement was a large room filled with dense surveillance screens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slumped youth in a white lab coat sat before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Wei? Need another new identity to go gallivanting in the city?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slumped youth glanced at Liu Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got word someone’s trying to contact me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei held up his communicator: “Whether for protocol or safety, I’ve got to come to you, genius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, leave it to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth, codenamed ‘Genius,’ typed rapidly on his keyboard: “Your contact request came through the third covert line… I’ve encrypted it. You can try now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei nodded and dialed a number from the black market, right before Genius’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long moments passed; there was no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?” Liu Wei looked at Genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That number’s an anonymous black-market device—hard to trace the source… And why buy it to contact someone, yet never reach them…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genius frowned: “Unless the other party already achieved their goal…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei’s heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… him?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, that’s clever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even black-market communicators aren’t 100% secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Now… let’s see how the other side contacts me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, ‘Genius’ spoke again: “Huh? What’s going on today… the instructor’s gathering everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a line of workers in blue uniforms gathered in the underground plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously scattered, they now stood straight-backed, chests out, their qi and blood surging—like wolves and tigers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man with a black eye patch walked through, his gaze sweeping each rebel’s face: “A thousand days of training, one day of use. This time, our branch will make a big move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the one-eyed instructor projected a map—the center clearly marked the largest cultivation center in Yuanyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here…” he began assigning tasks, then asked: “Any questions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instructor… if we carry this out, we’ll be wanted across the entire planet—every professional will go mad…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth raised his hand: “Then… how do we hide? Not to mention—the cultivation pods need a stable environment to function.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good question. But the Chick Hawk Planet can’t hold us—why not go to a new planet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-eyed instructor smiled faintly, his voice tinged with excitement: “We rebels have our own planet… and two space transport ships will arrive soon to extract us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave this cage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei, seemingly moved by the instructor’s words, raised his arm and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, Chick Hawk Planet was a cage—a cage for bio-engineered beings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He longed to step out, to see the new interstellar world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he seemed to hear a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t come from beside him—it came from within… his own heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onstage, the one-eyed instructor’s single eye swept across the crowd—but found nothing amiss, forcing him to suppress his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh… No wonder martial artists have such keen intuition—even if they can’t see my guardian deity, they can still sense it slightly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who had spied on the gathering just now was, of course, Fang Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the guardian deity he had manifested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to its invisible, intangible nature, gathering intelligence was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But can martial artists’ spiritual senses still detect me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing rubbed his chin, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good thing I reacted fast—I ordered the guardian deity to disperse immediately… It’s just a matter of re-forming it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, I need to acquire a cultivation pod, then focus entirely on the college entrance exam…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, it was already the second semester of senior year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that would decide the fate of countless Chick Hawk Planet candidates was approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing gazed toward a distant point, his eyes growing dark and deep…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei, wearing a mask and dressed like an ordinary construction worker, walked through Yuanyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the scorching sun and let out a long sigh: “I really want to eat ice cream…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Wei, do your job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man’s voice came through a miniature earpiece at his ear: “According to plan, now… you should go to the alley behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei swiftly reached an alley and slightly lifted a sewer cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he walked away as if nothing had happened, entering a shop next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s about to begin… Today, the cultivation center will receive 100 cultivation pods, all the latest models, transported via ‘Ke Long Flyers’…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei silently waited in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard a faint commotion around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A passerby was walking when he suddenly slipped, dropping his cigarette to the ground, where it rolled into the sewer cover he had lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the cover, an aged pipe suddenly exploded, spilling countless high-energy fuels…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single spark seemed to ignite a towering wave of fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staggering pillar of flame shot into the sky, causing many nearby residents to scream…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame swept across the sky, blocking the path of several flying sedans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sedans collided with each other, exploding into giant fireworks in midair, alarms blaring wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even several anti-aircraft missiles were launched directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not target the flying sedans, but instead aimed at a massive flyer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a fluorescent blue glow flickered across the flyer, one corner was still blown off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive flyer, as if losing control, wobbled and descended toward a park in the city district…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Control of variables—truly astonishing ability… It’s my turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei knew this was the ability of a master within the Resistance, capable of manipulating countless “variables” to steer events toward his desired outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, activating this ability required many prerequisites, and the more familiar one was with the target environment and the longer the setup, the more likely events would unfold as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the ultimate form of this ability was the hypothetical “Laplace’s Demon,” whose power, even compared to a host of extraterrestrial demons, was no less formidable—perhaps even greater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, walked to a nearby parking lot, and climbed into a large cargo truck loaded with shipping containers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Autopilot has been reprogrammed and route recalculated…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of “Genius” came from the speakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wei nodded and ordered the cargo truck to ignite and start…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, they arrived near the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the sky, dozens of mechs were locked in midair combat, unleashing elemental powers of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liu Wei opened the container, several cultivation pods were tossed inside: “Hurry up!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1663,"2026-06-20T11:03:20.053Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
