Hearing the girl’s remark, Philip’s heart softened. She was only in her late teens. Maybe her only time remaining was the so-called five years. “I can accompany you to have fun in Riverdale, but you must follow me back to Cochly Mountain. Otherwise, you may leave now.” Philip did not want to invite trouble either. The guardian maiden had run away from the stargate, so those people from the stargate and Cochly Mountain would definitely come after her. “Okay!” The girl was full of excitement and anticipation, her eyes twinkling. … Back to Cochly Mountain. A fierce battle was still going on in the snow-capped mountain range. Dozens of fighter planes attacked several times, but the huge spaceship hidden in the snow-capped mountains could still put up a fight. Commander Greene was already at the scene and personally directed the battle. Dozens of disciples training in Cochly Mountain rushed to the top of the snow-capped mountains and fought with the spaceship. The sky was
This was something he had been dreaming of! A product of the other shore’s civilization! Cooper’s eyes were full of frenzy as he walked toward the snow-capped mountain with a team of personal guards. Soon, Cooper arrived, and Commander Greene greeted him with a smile, “Consul Berry, you’re here so quickly.” Cooper glanced at Owen Greene and said, “Commander Greene, it’s been a while. You’ve done well in managing Cochly Mountain in such an orderly manner.” Owen laughed and asked, “Why are you here, Consul Berry?” “For this thing, of course.” Cooper looked at the spaceship that went beyond the technological civilization in front of him, and his face was full of excitement. Walking closer, he stretched out his hand and touched it. The cold touch, the technological power, and the civilization system were an existence that haunted Cooper’s dreams endlessly. Today, he finally found it. “Commander Greene, I'm going to take this spacecraft back to the Nonagon for research.
He took out a token and said to Owen, “Commander Greene, the Imperial Preceptor has given the order for us to bring the product of the other shore back to the Imperial Palace at once without any delay! Anyone who stands in our way shall be killed without mercy!” When Owen saw this team of golden armored guards, he realized something. When he saw the imperial token in the other party’s hand, he understood everything immediately. His face changed slightly as he thought about it. Then, he said to the golden armor guard in the lead, “My lord, I need to inform the five marquises about this. I can only take action upon their approval.” The leading guard frowned and said, “Get in touch with them quickly.” Upon receiving the command, Owen turned around and took the satellite phone from his guard. He quickly got in touch with the five marquises. At this moment, the five marquises were still on guard nearby the stargate. “Oh, there’s a call from Owen.” Marquis Fulmore frowned, took o
The middle-aged man behind the Imperial Preceptor shook his head helplessly and sighed. Once the Imperial Preceptor had decided, no one could change his mind. “I’ll make the arrangements, then,” the middle-aged man said and left the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Preceptor stood in the hall with a biting chill reflected in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly turned to the entrance of the main hall and said with a smile, “After so many years, this is your first time visiting my Imperial Palace.” An old man with his hands behind his back walked into the hall. “Imperial Preceptor, it’s been a long time.” It was an elderly voice that contained the rules of lightning. “Roger Clarke, there’s no need to stand on ceremony.” The Imperial Preceptor smiled and stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, looking at the old man approaching. The Imperial Preceptor was full of emotions as he looked at this legendary figure. He was both a friend and a rival. Friends on duty
“The God Creation Project is none other than a plan to seek the Human Emperor and also a plan to fight against the stargate and the land of the other shore. “Maybe no one can imagine what God looks like and no one will believe it. However, God does exist. If we look at the history of civilization, the development of this world, and the clues of an extraterrestrial civilization, how can we deny the existence of God? “The so-called God may be a prophet that surpasses our existence or a technological force that surpasses the civilization of this world. Anyway, it’s a formidable and terrifying existence.” The Imperial Preceptor listened to Roger’s explanation with furrowed brows and asked, “So what are you trying to say?” Roger said, “The Human Emperor’s destiny has been awakened, the God Creation Project will be reactivated, and strange movements will also happen to the stargate. Those existences on the other shore are keeping a close eye on this world.” Hearing this, the Imperi
A vast snow-capped mountain sprawled before their eyes. The rolling mountains looked like a giant dragon lying across the land. The mountains were towering and uninhabited. Even with the current technology, setting foot on Cochly Mountain would be a perilous experience. It had been shrouded in mystery since ancient times with numerous records of Cochly Mountain in history. As for whether a god existed here, no one knew nor could it be verified. Anyhow, Cochly Mountain had always been a revered place in the country. Philip looked at the sprawling snow-capped mountains and was filled with emotion. In this vast nature, human beings were so small and insignificant. The power of nature was simply amazing. The ravines between those mountains looked like they were cut by swords of men. What sort of power could carve such a mountain? The guardian maiden held the Beelzebub in her arms and looked at the endless Cochly Mountain through the porthole. She pursed her lips as if s
Almost immediately, everyone fell and died! Philip flicked the golden Desert Eagle he had pulled out, looked at the corpses helplessly, and said, “It looks like we’re not welcomed.” Fennel and the others also put away their weapons, walked over, and said coldly, “They couldn’t wait to kill us the moment we arrived. Those behind this aren’t that simple.” Philip stared into the distance with a frown and said, “Let’s take one step at a time. Cochly Mountain is much more complicated than we thought.” Then, he looked at 17 behind him and said, “Clean the mess up. Don’t leave any traces behind.” 17 nodded and quickly cleaned up the place with a few members of the Shadow Guards. After that, they changed into the uniforms of these Cochly Mountain guards and walked toward the armored vehicles in the distance. The guardian maiden seemed quite interested in the events and followed Philip while asking, “Who are you? Why were the guards of Cochly Mountain trying to kill you?” Philip
The two jeeps stopped because everyone had to get out of the cars and walk from there. They got out of the cars, looked at each other, and walked toward the guards at the gate. Several guards came over and glanced at Philip and the others. They looked at their documents and asked, “You don't belong to this area. Why are you here?” Philip was wearing the uniform of the guards of Cochly Mountain and said in a low voice, “We need to escort the guardian maiden back.” “The guardian maiden?” The captain of the guard raised his brows and looked sideways at Janike behind Philip. Immediately, he stepped forward and asked for Janike’s documents with a respectful expression on his face. Then, he said to Philip and the others, “We’ll take over the escort duty from now on. You can go back to the first line of defense!” Hearing this, Philip’s face darkened, but the other party could not see it through his mask. Janike quickly said, “No need, they’ll escort me.” The captain of the g
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
