On the other side.
Zhao Zhibing left the imperial palace and headed straight to the hospital.
In the intensive care unit, she saw Xia Huilan, who was still asleep, once again.
"Did she wake up this morning?" Zhao Zhibing asked.
"Yes, she just fell asleep for a while, I guess she will wake up soon," Xia Ni said with a smile.
"How do you know?" Zhao Zhibing asked.
"I have a connection with her, and her pulse and brain activity also indicate this," Xia Ni replied.
Zhao Zhibing turned her gaze to Xia Huilan.
She saw her yawning, with sleepy eyes, asking, "What ti is it?"
"Just past one o’clock in the afternoon," Xia Ni replied.
"Ah, I’m going to sleep a bit more, sleeping is so comfortable," Xia Huilan said as she turned over.
"Just a reminder, you have a visitor," Xia Ni said with a smile.
Xia Huilan opened her eyes and imdiately saw Zhao Zhibing.
She sat up straight from the bed, apologetically saying,
"I’m sorry for making the princess laugh."
"No worries, you are Little Wu’s sister, and we have a good relationship. It’s only right that I co to see you," Zhao Zhibing said.
"It seems you were the one who brought to the hospital," Xia Huilan said.
"Don’t mind these little things. I have sothing to ask you," Zhao Zhibing said.
"What is it?" Xia Huilan asked.
Zhao Zhibing opened her phone and gently tapped.
Several diagrams of Mobile Battle Armor designs imdiately appeared on Xia Huilan’s phone screen.
"These are so types of Mobile Battle Armor I discovered in the Otherworld. They are all very powerful. You are a leading cha expert, and I would like to ask you to take a look," Zhao Zhibing explained.
Xia Huilan was stunned for a mont, then took the phone and looked at it, unable to take her eyes off the screen.
"So advanced... They are much more powerful than the 92025 robots I designed..."
she murmured softly.
Zhao Zhibing watched her silently, with a subtle change in her expression.
The parallel world is three years from now.
If I let Xia Huilan see these Mobile Battle Armors now that would only be unearthed three years later, how will she deal with this?
What kind of impact would this have on our world?
Zhao Zhibing thought to herself.
Suddenly.
Xia Huilan began to speak.
"Thank you for giving these design diagrams. I’m going to study them carefully and then make so changes to our Mobile Battle Armor."
"What are you going to change them into?" Zhao Zhibing asked.
"They have to be even stronger than these," Xia Huilan said.
She waved at Xia Ni.
Xia Ni imdiately took out a laptop and handed it to her.
Xia Huilan imdiately entered work mode, her hands flying over the keyboard as she said,
"I understood these designs at a glance. They are rely those things, but I already have an idea that surpasses them. I’m starting now, hoping to get it done during this ti."
"But we won’t make it in ti, Sister, Little Wu is leaving tonight," Xia Ni said.
Xia Huilan’s hands paused for a mont.
She seed to have entered a certain state, immune to any external disturbance to her thoughts.
A few minutes later.
She deleted everything she had just typed and started typing again.
"Xia Ni."
"Here."
"Visit Little Wu tonight,"
"Okay, rest assured, sister."
"I can’t rest easy. I’ll design so uniforms and props for you right now, trying to make you even more formidable."
"Hehe, sister is the best."
Zhao Zhibing, listening on the side, felt her eyelids twitch.
——Does this woman know what she’s saying?
She felt sowhat embarrassed, not knowing whether to stay or go, or what else she could say.
Who would have known that Xia Huilan had already turned her head to look at her.
"May I ask, what is the current situation in the Otherworld?"
"...It’s heading towards destruction."
"So, are you saying that there aren’t many humans left, is that it?" Xia Huilan pressed.
"Yes," said Zhao Zhibing.
"Every trip you take there must be growing more dangerous — was it already very dangerous last night?" Xia Huilan continued to inquire.
Zhao Zhibing was a bit puzzled but still nodded, "Only one in ten who go there can co back; there are scarcely any Awakeners left in the world now."
"Your Highness, I have a favor to ask of you," said Xia Huilan.
Zhao Zhibing was taken aback.
She had co this ti to present the ch suit models and data from the parallel world three years into the future to her, in hopes of her devising more advanced ch suits.
Unexpectedly, she had a favor to ask as well.
"Let’s hear it," said Zhao Zhibing.
"Could you give a few nuclear bombs?" Xia Huilan asked.
"...Xia Huilan, do you know what you’re saying?"
"I do. I’d equip you with so nuclear bombs to use in the Otherworld — it’s heading for destruction anyway. The most important thing is that you co back alive, isn’t it?"
Zhao Zhibing paused, her mind suddenly flashing back to the gigantic monsters she had seen the night before.
Ordinary attacks were completely ineffective.
Nuclear weapons...
Back then, humans had chosen to cleanse with nuclear weapons.
Perhaps they’d really be effective?
At this thought, Zhao Zhibing felt sowhat tempted.
"Wait for my ssage; I must first ask for permission to return. Even if they agree, the authority to use them will be strictly controlled in my hands, not hers," Zhao Zhibing said, glancing at Xia Ni and speaking softly.
"No problem, I just want both you and Little Wu to co back safely," Xia Huilan stated firmly.
Zhao Zhibing nodded and quickly left the room.
She walked out of the sickroom, through the corridors, down the steps, and back to the official car.
Only when the car slowly started moving did she murmur softly,
"With a sister like that, who wouldn’t be fond of her..."
...
Elsewhere.
Dongjin City.
"Who isn’t afraid of death? Death is like the ultimate punishnt, no one can escape it," Li Kunlun said casually.
Wu Xiaode looked at him intently and then suddenly chuckled.
"Actually, it’s like this—"
"I ca to talk to you about joining the film company."
"Soone will be in touch with you shortly. Once you have a better understanding of our company, we can sign the contract. Does that sound good to you?"
"Of course," Li Kunlun replied.
"Great, we’ll et later— you will have so surprises by then," Wu Xiaode said mysteriously.
"Goodbye," Li Kunlun said, curious and expectant.
Wu Xiaode waved at him, walked over to the car beside the court, opened the door, and got inside.
Only then did Li Kunlun notice that there were six black cars parked in a row on the roadway outside the court.
Under his watchful eye, the cars slowly slid away, quickly leaving the school.
Twenty minutes later.
On the plane.
Wu Xiaode grabbed the phone and dialed a number.
"Li Kunlun’s information has been sent to you... Yes, take a look."
"Why do I have to do this?" Xiao Baihong’s displeased voice rang from the receiver.
"Do a favor, please, I’m really too busy, you help him awaken," Wu Xiaode said.
"I’ve never heard of anyone being able to help soone else awaken," Xiao Baihong said.
"Actually, it’s possible, I’ve done it before."
"You?"
"Yes," Wu Xiaode recounted the example of Qian Mingkui, then added,
"Li Kunlun is scared to death, you can scare him a bit, see if you can wake sothing up in him."
"Scared of death? That does sound pretty fun—But is he really worth the effort for us to do this?" Xiao Baihong asked.
"Trust , he definitely is," Wu Xiaode emphasized.
"Fine, I’ll trust you this once, I’ll take care of it, you owe dinner tonight," Xiao Baihong said.
"No problem!" Wu Xiaode said.
The call ended.
Wu Xiaode leaned back, reclining in his seat, and rested for a few minutes.
Suddenly, the Book of the Dead opened, revealing rows of ice crystal small text:
"Xia Huilan’s fate has been altered once again."
"Please note, the fate line of the current world has already been altered once; this is the second ti. If there is a third ti, the current world will undergo unprecedented changes."
Wu Xiaode’s heart skipped a beat.
Xia Huilan’s first change of fate had been when he himself had returned from Death Demon Cave, saving her.
Back then, her change of fate had brought about many changes to various events.
Now it was happening for the second ti.
What had happened?
Why would her fate line cause the world to change along with it?
As he was thinking, a ssage popped up on his phone:
"Your sister is fine, no worries, I’ve transferred the cha-related information from that world for her to see."
"She is designing a new cha."
It was a ssage from Zhao Zhibing.
So that’s it!
Wu Xiaode imdiately dialed Xia Huilan’s number.
After waiting, he found that the call couldn’t connect.
Then, the phone automatically dialed another number.
Xia Ni’s voice ca through:
"Little Wu, she’s designing the cha and doesn’t want anyone to disturb her, she even chased out."
"Is Sister Lan’s health better?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"She slept, much better now, don’t worry," Xia Ni said.
"That’s good, I’ll co to see you guys after I finish up here."
"Mhm, we’ll wait for you."
The call ended.
Everything was unstoppable now, nor did he want to stop it.
Now, let the cha designed by Xia Huilan be even stronger; only then will it be of help to the future.
He too must beco stronger imdiately!
Wu Xiaode looked at the floating Book of the Dead.
As if sensing his will, the Book of the Dead opened on its own, displaying lines of ice crystal small text:
"A whole new day has begun."
"Settlent as follows:"
"Current person’s Soul Power: 18/18, rit 1."
"You can use today’s privilege to accept a new commission from the Wish Wall."
"Seek commission," Wu Xiaode silently said in his heart.
A fog instantly appeared.
An endless fog burst forth, enveloping his surroundings like an illusion.
Within the ceaselessly swirling mist, a tarnished wall silently erged.
The Wish Wall!
Wu Xiaode placed his hand on the wall, murmuring, "Co on, give today’s commission."
The next second.
Among the densely packed slips of paper on the Wish Wall, one fluttered in the wind, detached from the wall, and slowly floated into Wu Xiaode’s hand.
On the slip, a few lines of small text were written:
"One thousand five hundred years ago."
"When I fell into hardship, I rested for a while in White Horse Village."
"The people there were very kind, they took care of ."
"But White Horse Village will soon be no more."
"Who can save those villagers?"
"If soone can do it, I will give Soul Power and a bit of Swordsmanship as thanks."
Swordsmanship?
Wu Xiaode fell deep into thought.
First Iron Wire Fist, then the Saber Skill from solo travels through snowstorms, and now a spirit offering to teach Swordsmanship.
Co to think of it, this should be a lower-level human civilization world.
Yet it had housed so many powerful spirits.
—Although only he knew this, it was actually very important.
Is this world really that low-level?
Wu Xiaode recalled the church deep underground, and the roar of the One-eyed Giant from even deeper below.
Death Demon Cave was extrely deep underground.
Deeper still, there was a palace filled with black eggs.
Then what?
Could there be even more terrifying monsters hidden deep beneath the earth?
Wu Xiaode shook his head, setting aside these thoughts for the mont.
What was most important now was to make himself stronger!
He spoke out loud:
"I accept this commission."
As soon as the words were spoken, the slip of paper instantly turned into a cluster of tiny light points.
These light points danced in mid-air, gradually rging into Wu Xiaode’s body.
He closed his eyes and quickly grasped the essence of the matter.
Three hours later.
White Horse Village would be massacred.
He must rush over imdiately!
Wu Xiaode opened the navigation to check the location, stood up, and walked towards the plane’s cockpit.
"Hello, is there anything I can assist you with?"
A charming stewardess asked.
"Is there any way to change the flight to Qinshan City?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Of course, this flight is dedicated to your work, we will begin coordinating imdiately," the stewardess said with a sweet smile.
