“No.
I’m speaking very seriously.”
Ju Mang suddenly didn’t know what to say, a novel emotion pranced in her chest, so she took her warm drink and gulped it down in one go.
After a full thirty seconds, she suddenly started speaking:
“What kind of role did I play in God’s realm?”
“You were a girl who loved plants, gentle by nature, always pulling me to talk about some weird things, like what a certain flower said today.
As if you could understand the language of plants.
The town had many people, but they all liked you.”
“Good thing I’m not that kind of person,” Ju Mang was amused, looking very happy, even though the words she spoke didn’t seem like cause for much happiness:
“I’m not a particularly likable person.
Compared to Xiuxiu, I might have a bit more emotional intelligence, but at least Xiuxiu has a brother who dotes on her, a husband who loves her.
I’m different, I just stood on the right side in a battle.”
Ju Mang kept smiling, but her eyes betrayed a touch of loneliness:
“Once we leave the throne of God, maybe we’re even worse off than mortals.
You should be able to feel it, even as we’re chatting here, someone is watching me from afar.
Because I’m not trusted, how can such a person be liked by others?”
Tang Jing did not seem to offer consolation, simply stating:
“Time will change people’s opinions.”
“You do have an open mind.”
“I just trust my brother.”
“Brother?
In God’s realm, Tang Xian is your elder brother?” Ju Mang’s gaze turned weird as she looked at Tang Jing.
Tang Jing nodded, not sensing anything amiss.
Ju Mang skipped the subject and began talking about some matters concerning Baichuan City, but her mind was filled with thoughts of noble brothers.
Fortunately for the Child of Order, being distracted was not a big problem.
However, halfway through the conversation, Ju Mang found it boring and asked about a topic of her interest:
“Konst…
Tang Jing, why don’t we get married right now?
I’m quite interested in your body.”
Tang Jing: “…”
Ju Mang burst out laughing: “Just kidding.
For me, marriage is simply about finding a long-term research subject.
Or maybe mutual research.
Having kids isn’t a bad idea either; the child might even possess genes superior to Tang Xian’s.”
Tang Jing remained silent.
Ju Mang’s smile faded slightly as she said:
“You already know where I live.
I hope you’ll come to see me more often.
I really shouldn’t trust you, but Tang Xian sent you to Baichuan City, and he pulled you back from the most dangerous place.
I suppose I don’t need to worry about anything, after all, you can’t even deceive me, let alone him.”
Tang Jing nodded, seeing an expression on Ju Mang he had never seen before.
“I have never been to God’s realm, but I hope that everything you told me about it today, all of that in God’s realm, can be realized here in this place called Baichuan City.”
…
…
When evening fell,
Tang Xian returned from the eastern suburbs and quickly gathered all of Baichuan City’s combat forces to begin formulating a long-term plan.
Tang, Tang Feiji, Qing Jiuyu, Bai Mansheng, and Tang Xiaojiu arrived, even Xuan Bird made it.
A phoenix wreathed in blue flames appeared at the top of a building, an awe-inspiring sight that attracted many onlookers.
Following the beast forces, human forces arrived, with Song Que, Akasi Yuanwu, and Tang Suoye all present.
Ju Mang, Qiao Shanshan, Dong Ran, Tang Jing, and even Lin Jue, among others, all arrived, basically anyone Tang Xian trusted and could make use of.
Even Ke Ye, who had lately been spending a lot of time with Liu Lang, hurried over.
For a time, the grand conference hall buzzed with activity.
Tang Xian wasted no time on pleasantries, immediately assigning tasks.
Li Xiaoyu, Song Que, Akasi, Tang Suoye would continue managing Baichuan City.
This management also meant strengthening Baichuan City’s battle capabilities.
They were to collect any usable weaponry from those causing trouble, and to meet all of Ke Ye’s demands to the greatest extent, providing the resources for weapon production whenever Ke Ye requested it.
Ke Ye once believed that the powerful gifts combined with the constraints of the mining region meant that weaponry would ultimately be inferior.
He never imagined that when humanity left the Pyramid, these skills would become the most crucial part of defending Baichuan City.
The people from the once fifty-one strongholds were all led by Ke Ye.
This naturally involved some backdoor channels, but having visited the fifty-one strongholds multiple times, Tang Xian also felt that Ke Ye was constantly being suppressed by that group of old-school weapon designers.
Now, it was time to give Ke Ye the opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities, with the extreme gauntlet project being a major development.
What Tang Xian truly thought was to avoid as much as possible any battle between Baichuan City and the Order or the Myriad Beasts forces.
But if a fight was indeed inevitable, he also wanted to ensure Baichuan City had the power to hold its own.
The production of the extreme gauntlets required a massive amount of Soul Crystals, and coincidentally, deep within the Ashen Sea, in the dragon palace once guarded by Tang Feiji, there were countless Soul Crystals.
These were the trump cards, things Tang Xian had never revealed in front of the Order and the judges.
Therefore, after the first mission was arranged, Tang Xian began planning the second mission.
All those proficient in creating teleportation rifts were led by Yu Xiaozhe and Liu Lang; this group of high-end talents had to establish a massive teleportation gate on the southern islands in the shortest time possible.
If given ninety days to complete this task, it wouldn’t be difficult considering the resources and manpower of Baichuan City at present, especially since both Liu Lang and Yu Xiaozhe were already old hands at this.
But Tang Xian’s requirements included one particular detail—ensuring the teleportation rifts couldn’t be interfered with by any anti-motive devices.
Tang Xian didn’t want to fail twice due to the same negligence, so this time, he wanted Yu Xiaozhe and Liu Lang, and in fact, anyone from the population of nearly ten million who could help, to improve the technology behind the teleportation rifts as quickly as possible.
Yu Xiaozhe nodded in agreement.
The task was daunting, but he was not just partnering with Liu Lang this time; with the top scientific teams from the Eye of Nature and Origin backing him, Yu Xiaozhe felt somewhat confident.
After arranging all the tasks for Baichuan City, Tang Xian finally felt a bit more at ease.
Only without such concerns could he really be at peace to head to the mining area.
Next was the personnel arrangement for the mining area.
Tang Feiji, Tang Xiaojiu, Yuanwu, and Tang would accompany Tang Xian to battle across the lands, seeking the legacy of the Beast Gods.
Tang Feiji was quite proud, thinking that Tang Xian ultimately had him in mind, knowing the necessity of his presence for such an important mission.
Fox, snake?
No, the dragon was the first in the world.
The reality was, there were two potential Beast God legacies in the Hungry Sea and the depths of the Ashen Sea; Tang Xian thought having Tang Feiji, the Sea Dragon King, would be more convenient.
Once these two places were explored, he would quickly send Tang Feiji back to Baichuan City to defend it.
The first destination was the southern island.
Accompanying them were Yu Xiaozhe and Liu Lang among others, the creators of the teleportation base station.
Everyone could sense that while Tang Xian’s plans were comprehensive, they also carried a sense of haste; though Tang Xian did not say what would happen after ninety days, everyone felt a major event looming.
The final task was assigned to Xuan Bird and Tang Jing.
Tang Jing had long been aware of it, and he was the most suitable person for this mission.
When it came to this mission, Tang Xian sent the others away and spoke to Tang Jing alone:
“You have to play the role of Constantine, with Xuan Bird responsible for protecting you, because your body is not human now, you are still an Angel Envoy.”
Tang Jing nodded, understanding, and said,
“I don’t need to confront the judges. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
I just need to reveal that the Order has woken up earlier than it anticipated, and that will be enough.”
“Yes, the judges are distrustful but also apprehensive of the Order.
They may not necessarily do anything to you, but you still need to be cautious.”
Tang Jing nodded again and asked:
“What about after this?”
“Help me protect Baichuan City.”
“Do you not need me to go to the mining area to assist you?”
“When it comes to killing the Judgment Knights, you are better than me, but when it comes to slaying Myriad Beasts, I am better than you.”
Tang Jing didn’t dispute this statement; Tang Xian had clearly arranged everything.
Between the judges, the legacy, and Baichuan City, the forces were split into three.
The most important but also the most hopeful was finding the legacy of the Beast Gods.
But if the situation with the judges could be handled well, and the various arrangements of Baichuan City were in order,
After ninety days…
it might not necessarily be the doomsday for humanity.
