    Chapter 214 (Revised)

    While Yashan carried out his mission to Elephant Emperor City, Su Hao spared it only a little attention before returning to his own work.

    If someone asked why Su Hao didn't simply eliminate all the Level Seven mutants across the major cities himself...

    The answer was simple.

    Given enough time, he certainly could.

    But Su Hao also had his own pursuits.

    If every problem required him to personally intervene—running across the entire continent solving everyone's troubles—

    Then what was the purpose of the Temple Forest Society?

    It might as well disband.

    More importantly...

    The one destined to build the Innovative Century was Yashan, not Su Hao.

    Su Hao's role was simply to provide ideas, guidance, and direction while continuing his own research.

    They each had their own responsibilities.

    As for what the Temple Forest Society would eventually become...

    That wasn't something Su Hao intended to control.

    He was merely a scholar pursuing knowledge.

    His time was far too valuable to spend managing every detail of someone else's grand project.

    Besides...

    The Temple Forest Society might not even appreciate his methods.

    If he solved every problem himself, there would always be people criticizing his decisions afterward.

    Why invite unnecessary trouble?

    It was far better to remain behind the scenes and quietly observe how everything developed.

    Only by overcoming hardships themselves would they truly value their success.

    Especially Yashan.

    The Innovative Century belonged to him.

    Su Hao would only step in when absolutely necessary—

    Just as Yashan had once asked him to do.

    Until then...

    He would simply wait.


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Yashan, Mingzi Meng Chuan, and Changzi Ashi flew toward Elephant Emperor City.

    Yashan and Meng Chuan flew side by side.

    Ashi had wrapped himself into a giant cocoon, hanging beneath Yashan's wings.

    Pointing ahead, Meng Chuan said,

    "Boss Wei—"

    Realizing his mistake, he quickly corrected himself.

    "Yashan Boss."

    "Elephant Emperor City is just ahead."

    "Should we land now?"

    Yashan narrowed his eyes.

    Far in the distance stood a massive city nestled among towering mountains.

    A broad river flowed beside it toward the south.

    He nodded.

    "Let's land."

    The three descended outside the city.

    Returning to his human form, Meng Chuan asked,

    "Should we enter the city directly?"

    Yashan shook his head.

    "First..."

    "Tell me everything we know about Elephant Emperor City."

    Meng Chuan nodded and opened a notebook from his pack.

    "According to our intelligence..."

    "There are currently four Level Seven mutants ruling Elephant Emperor City."

    "Rongzi Qianglai."

    "Xuzi Momo."

    "Jingzi Kahn."

    "And Mingzi Tailun."

    "Each controls their own faction."

    "They maintain clear territorial boundaries and generally avoid open conflict."

    "Even when battles occur, they deliberately fight outside the city to avoid damaging it."

    "Our envoys have contacted all four."

    "None believed anything we said."

    "They assumed we were attempting political manipulation."

    "Some of our people barely escaped alive."

    He closed the notebook.

    "So..."

    "The Temple Forest Society believes Elephant Emperor City is actually the easiest city to deal with."

    "Because it isn't united."

    "Our proposal is to ally with one or two factions, eliminate the others, unify the city, and then formally establish an alliance."

    Yashan listened quietly.

    "What does the Society recommend?"

    Meng Chuan flipped through several pages before reading aloud.

    "They suggest cooperating with Xuzi Momo and Mingzi Tailun."

    "Together, we'll eliminate the remaining two factions."

    "The strategy is..."

    Meng Chuan hesitated awkwardly before continuing.

    > "If you're unwilling to cooperate with us..."



    > "Then we'll cooperate with your enemies instead."



    Silence.

    Even Ashi's usually expressionless face twitched slightly.

    After a long pause...

    Yashan sighed.

    "Who came up with that idea?"

    Meng Chuan scratched his head.

    "I think..."

    "Gaili."

    Yashan nodded knowingly.

    "I should've guessed."

    "Only someone as ruthless as Gaili could come up with something like that."

    Meng Chuan continued,

    "The Society also suspects that the Level Seven mutants from the major cities may already be secretly communicating."

    "But we can't verify it."

    "So..."

    "Should we follow the plan?"

    Yashan waved his hand decisively.

    "Of course."

    "If they've already made the arrangements..."

    "We'll follow them."

    With that, the three entered Elephant Emperor City.


    ---

    Once inside...

    They split up.

    Yashan went to meet Mingzi Tailun.

    Meng Chuan sought out Xuzi Momo.

    Ashi remained hidden, acting as support if anything unexpected happened.


    ---

    Two days later...

    The three met again.

    Yashan's expression was dark.

    Very dark.

    Tailun hadn't listened to a single word.

    He had simply thrown Yashan out.

    Yashan had nearly lost control on the spot.

    He truly wanted to march back immediately and beat Tailun half to death.

    Meng Chuan, on the other hand, looked delighted.

    "Yashan Boss!"

    "My side went surprisingly well."

    "I thought Xuzi Momo would be difficult..."

    "But despite looking fierce, she was actually very easy to talk to."

    "After hearing our proposal..."

    "She agreed to work with us."

    "How about you?"

    Yashan patted Meng Chuan's shoulder.

    "Well done."

    "As expected..."

    "You're more handsome than me."

    "No wonder she listened."

    "As for my side..."

    "Forget it."

    "Tailun is definitely not our friend."

    "I'll deal with him personally."

    Meng Chuan hesitated.

    "That only gives us one ally."

    "Shouldn't we try contacting someone else?"

    Yashan waved dismissively.

    "One is enough."

    "Four against three."

    "That's already an advantage."

    "Come."

    "Take me to meet Xuzi."

    "We'll arrange a fight outside the city."

    "If words don't work..."

    "We'll settle it with our fists."

    He was already furious.

    Boss Wei had been absolutely right.

    If you couldn't completely defeat someone...

    They would never truly listen.

    Since talking was useless...

    Then fighting would have to come first.


    ---

    Soon...

    The three met Xuzi Momo.

    She appeared to be an elderly woman.

    Yet she dressed in luxurious clothing and elaborate makeup, clearly unwilling to surrender to old age.

    Seeing three unfamiliar Level Seven mutants standing before her...

    Even she couldn't hide a flicker of surprise.

    After listening to Yashan's proposal, she covered her mouth and laughed softly.

    "So..."

    "You really think you can defeat them?"

    Yashan answered without hesitation.

    "Of course."

    Momo laughed again.

    The wrinkles around her face deepened, slightly smudging her carefully applied makeup.

    "I can arrange for all of them to gather outside the city."

    "In five days."

    "As for whether you can defeat them..."

    "That's your problem."

    She smiled slyly.

    "And I won't participate."

    "Three against three."

    "Fair enough."

    Yashan nodded.

    "Agreed."

    After deciding on the time and place, Yashan's group departed.

    Along the way...

    Meng Chuan sighed.

    "Yashan Boss..."

    "It's three against three now."

    Yashan laughed loudly.

    "So what?"

    "You didn't carry all those Level Two Runes for nothing, did you?"

    Hearing that...

    Meng Chuan instinctively touched the bundle of runes hidden inside his clothes.

    His confidence immediately returned.


    ---

    After Yashan left...

    The smile gradually disappeared from Momo's face.

    She sat quietly upon her throne.

    Moments later...

    A handsome young man wearing a warm smile walked behind her, gently placing his hands upon her shoulders.

    "My beautiful lady..."

    "Why do you seem unhappy today?"

    Momo's expression turned cold.

    "It's those people from the Temple Forest Society again."

    "They actually want to take over Elephant Emperor City."

    "This time..."

    "We'll make sure they abandon that foolish dream forever."

    She lifted the young man's chin with her wrinkled hand before giving him a fierce kiss.

    Smiling darkly, she whispered,

    "I won't allow anyone..."

    "...to destroy the wonderful balance we've created here."

    "What do you think..."

    "My dear?"

    The young man smiled sweetly and nodded obediently.

    Momo leaned back against her throne.

    "Go."

    "Bring Jigun to me."

    "I have something important for him to do."

        The first 80 ish chapters were done by hand, you can notice the sentence structure degrade from then on, even a blind man would notice the difference between the early chapters and 230 onwards.

        Yeah. It also feels like some chapters just get deleted entirely. I've had to drop the novel because it gets far worse after 350.

            Yeah. Sometimes it felt like I was reading pure mtl. The f#ckers over at cyborgTL couldn't even keep anyone's gender consistent. You can't tell me you're not gonna spend an extra 2 minutes to go through and correct their use cases?

              I mean I've already invested too much time and interest in this novel

              Dropping? Impossible! The sunk-cost fallacy wouldn't allow it!
