Chapter 674: Arrival

"Wei Er Si Te La Si Bo Jue's mansion?"

After bidding farewell to Bai Mo, the two teams looked at the address in their hands and suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Realizing the situation, Hanluo pulled a vial of medicine from his spatial ring and gulped it all down. A surge of clarity immediately washed over his mind.

"As expected, we were influenced by his will. We exposed our true inner thoughts so easily and even believed his words."

"None of those evil god-level monsters are easy to deal with."

"What should we do then? We've already agreed. Won't there be trouble if we don't go?"

Death is the ultimate hardship throughout the ages; how much more so to actively seek it out? If their minds hadn't been clouded, these Reincarnators would never have so easily accepted Bai Mo's proposition.

Facing the unknown that could completely alter their destinies, Heaven Squad and Hell Squad had now cast aside their past grievances and stood together.

In the great tide of the Main God and the Evil God's game, they were merely small sampans navigating through it, always at risk of capsizing with a single misstep.

"The eighth reconnaissance robot is scrap." The scrawny boy from Hell Squad rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.

He was Hell Squad's "eyes," primarily responsible for external reconnaissance missions.

After recovering from the mental contamination ability inherent in Bai Mo's speech, they decided to take a breather and see what kind of force lay behind that person.

As for Ai Li, she saw her former teammates' hesitation to accept her, understood that they could no longer return to how things were, and so chose to wander off alone to clear her mind.

"Has the other side counter-tracked us?"

"With my hand speed, how could I leave a trace? I'd have self-destructed the robot long before being caught."

"What we can confirm is that the area around Wei Er Si Te La Si Bo Jue's mansion, spanning several kilometers, has indeed been converted into a fully optically cloaked military base.

Furthermore, not only is it invisible to the naked eye, but ordinary radar detection is also very poor. If not for the special radar provided by the Main God, I might not have discovered it either."

"A 12-hour effective invisibility talisman costs 100 points, and a permanent single-person cloaking robe costs 6,500 points. To conceal several square kilometers like this..." The bald man shuddered at the thought.

"This is no longer something that can be solved with points."

"In less than eight hours, the Main God's mission countdown will reach zero. Before then, we must choose a side."

"If we choose the Main God's side, it means we'll have to directly confront that otherworldly god."

"If we choose the otherworldly god, then we'll have to give up everything we've gained in the Main God Temple, return to being ordinary people... and also undergo a tribulation of death."

For most superhumans, losing their power was scarcely better than death itself.

...

"Are those goofballs still hesitating?"

Two soldiers who had just finished their shift idly teased the Reincarnators who were attempting to spy on the military base.

The reconnaissance devices they used were indeed high-grade, capable of "seeing" the Holy Progenitors' invisibility. However, the entire Water Blue Star had long been completely covered by Bai Mo's gaze, and nothing could hide within the communication network.

"Those ability user big shots, few of them truly want to stay on Earth. Even if they stay for now, they'll eventually flee to the Federation."

"According to the system's plan, the Federation will also send people to receive those unwilling to join our Land of White. I bet these few will definitely choose the Federation."

Unlike the classified protection regulations of regular armies, all operational plans within the Holy Progenitors are public; from privates to generals, everyone is qualified to see them.

Because there is simply no possibility of leaked secrets.

The System manages the entire thought network.

Furthermore, Holy Progenitors have no concept of being captured. As long as they activate their suicide switch, they can instantly respawn on Earth, even if they return as a blank slate with nothing.

"For cultivators, life in the Federation is indeed better than on Earth, even for the lowest-ranked ones."

"There's no helping it. Who knew less than ten percent of the Federation's population were ability users, while over ninety percent, like us, are feeding those parasites?"

Both were ordinary people with no cultivation aptitude whatsoever, who had lived rather unsatisfactorily for the twenty years before the Spirit Qi's resurgence. They were occasionally bullied by ability users, so naturally, they held no goodwill towards them.

Of course, it was mostly jealousy—jealousy that they weren't the ones who could cultivate.

The Land of White had established a nearly absolutely egalitarian system where all beings below the divine were like ants, yet it couldn't hinder humanity's innate pursuit of self-power.

Because Bai Mo hadn't imposed any blockade on news from the Federation, even those born and raised in the Land of White who possessed cultivation aptitude would harbor thoughts of the Federation.

However, before "emigrating," they still needed to work hard for many years to gather enough for their "redemption fee."

Bai Mo, for his part, didn't care about their departure. When nails grew too long, they indeed needed a slight trim.

...

"Uncle Scott, is our target the Origin Star this time?" A scrawny young man, with just a hint of fuzz on his lip, stood ramrod straight behind Scott, the captain of the Domello, a Grand Millennium flagship.

He was Dalton, the twenty-third in line to inherit the Hohenzollern, another hereditary flagship. He was primarily here to gain some experience.

Dalton was born on the Moon. These new nobles, who had never returned to Earth, preferred to call Earth the Origin Star, meaning the birthplace of the Human Federation.

"Little Dalton, here's a piece of advice: watch more, speak less later. If you offend someone, I won't be able to protect you."

Scott, whose face was almost entirely covered by a thick beard, didn't particularly care for the talkative young man. It was only out of respect for old Dalton that he brought him onto the flagship as his temporary aide.

"These mortals from the Origin Star, they don't even give face to the Hohenzollern family's name?"

"That's another world."

Scott secretly shook his head, clearly speechless at Little Dalton's emotional intelligence, and incidentally, began to doubt his intelligence as well.

The Hohenzollern family was one of the founding members when the European Union was first established on Earth. However, by the era of the Federation, the family only had two or three Morning Star Councillors, placing them among the medium to small-sized superhuman families.

This fellow had probably spent years lording it over others within the family's hereditary flagship, living like a frog in a well, believing that their family was so powerful that everyone had to show them respect.

"Even the Ice and Snow Empress, Your Excellency Xi Ri, has to behave herself when she comes to Earth, so what makes a Morning Star family like yours so special?"

...

"Alert: Your vessel has entered the airspace of the Land of White. Please present your pass."

Airspace in the space age is a completely different concept from that in the Earth age. Millions of kilometers outward from a planet can all be considered its airspace.
