Chapter 496: Chapter 495: The God Creation Project Begins

“Huh?”

Seeing Wang Linfan’s urgent demeanor, Lin Siyin paused and asked, “Brother-in-law, should I call him back?”

“Call back?”

After thinking it over, Wang Linfan felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

After all, if Lu Zixun was in such a rush to return, there must be some emergency.

His purpose in finding Lu Zixun was to have him take up a teaching job or something.

Given Lu Zixun’s understanding of superpowers and the speed of his Spiritual Energy cultivation, he was more than qualified to be a professor.

However, if he were to speak to Lu Zixun about it, considering Lu Zixun’s lazy nature, he would definitely refuse.

Now that the Crimson Academy was in need of staff… Wang Linfan looked at Lin Siyin, and his eyes lit up—this was the perfect excuse!

He certainly wouldn’t agree if he brought it up, but if Lin Siyin were to mention it, that would be different.

Unbeknownst to Lu Zixun, who was arranging the next meal with the Wang Family and He Family, he was about to become a ‘cat professor.’

Upon returning to Demon Country, Lu Zixun had just entered Pan Building when he received a piece of news.

The Human Ghost had gone to Zone 11 at some point and caused a complete uproar.

At first, the Three Prefectures thought it was the Micro-citizens trying to rebel for change, but it turned out to be the doing of the Human Ghost.

Now, the Three Prefectures and the Human Ghost Shiqian were playing a game of cat and mouse, causing quite the headache.

They simply could not resolve the nuisance that was Shiqian. Fortunately, the sun had been scorchingly hot these past few days, so Shiqian’s movements were much reduced.

“Just make an artificial sun, and it’s all settled, instead of making it so complicated.”

Aware of Shiqian’s weakness, Lu Zixun shook his head and made this remark.

Ge Changming, on the other hand, said, “An artificial sun could probably only deal with ordinary Human Ghosts, not Shiqian. According to video data, Shiqian was active in the sunlight for several minutes; only his skin began to rot, and he didn’t die instantaneously.”

“There’s actually such a tactic?”

Lu Zixun, who hadn’t expected the Human Ghosts to be capable of evolution, felt a strong sense of crisis.

After all, he had given Shiqian quite the beating last time, and since Zone 11 is so close to Zone 13, there was no saying when Shiqian might come over. Wouldn’t that be troublesome?

However, when it came to the fear of sunlight as a weakness, Lu Zixun felt that it shouldn’t really be considered a hard weakness.

If Shiqian wrapped himself up like a mummy, then wouldn’t he have no weakness?

Imagining Shiqian in that state, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing Lu Zixun suddenly laugh, Ge Changming looked puzzled, “Brother Xun, what are you laughing at?”

“Nothing, nothing.”

While partying wildly in his mind, Lu Zixun waved his paw, “Keep a close watch, and stay informed about Shiqian’s movements, in case he gets desperate and comes over.”

“Got it, I understand.”

Nodding his head, Ge Changming continued reporting, “Brother Xun, during the time you’ve been away from the Demon Country, Zone 14 has been fully integrated, and within Demon Country, there are now thousands of S-level Demon Ability Users and dozens of J-level Demon Ability Users.”

Pausing for a moment, Ge Changming’s emotions surged, “Now, the strength of Demon Country is on par with any Human Gathering Place.”

…

Knowing that the Night Watchman existed and the power held in the hands of the Light and Shadow Association, Lu Zixun merely nodded, not undermining Ge Changming’s enthusiasm with any disparaging words.

After all, accumulating strength wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.

Although they were still not on par with them, their pace was commendable.

Keep in mind, the Demon Country had only been established for a mere three months.

After planning some future development directions for the Demon Country, Lu Zixun cautioned, “Once the battle for supremacy begins, our intelligence must keep up, and ideally we should know everything that happens, without missing any detail, every day.”

“Shadow has already been deployed for this, but according to the brothers responsible for investigating the Insect Clan, the scale of the Insect Tide entering the battle for supremacy this time is more than double the last.”

Organizing his words, Ge Changming continued, “At the same time, the internal situation among humans this time is more than twice as complicated as the last, which means…”

“The Human Clan believes winning this battle for supremacy is an impossible dream?”

Lu Zixun cut in before Ge Changming could finish his thought.

Ge Changming nodded, confirming that was indeed the case.

“While it’s true that humans are a race adept at creating miracles, under such internal and external pressures, for Old Tang to lead a team to repel the Insect Tide… if Old Tang were J-level, there might be some hope, but now…”

Shaking his head, Ge Changming sighed.

The mere data they had gathered made him feel it was a battle with no chance of victory.

“Then it depends on how we operate. Once the battle for supremacy concludes, the relics will emerge, and don’t forget, they are relics of the Demon Clan.”

Lu Zixun stated indifferently, his eyes narrowing, “Since Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures are hell-bent on holding us back, we’ll find a way to deal with their members entering the battle for supremacy.”

“But… Brother Xun.”

A look of hesitation crossed his face, Ge Changming furrowed his brows and said, “Even with our help, the humans’ chances of winning are still slim.”

“In a few days, a deputy director of the intelligence unit is coming to report; he’s extremely skilled at assassination.”

A slight smile played at the corners of Lu Zixun’s mouth as he spoke confidently, “If Old Tang wins a battle deemed unwinnable by others, and if Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures just gift us their presence, what kind of spectacle will that be?”

Ge Changming’s pupils contracted as he murmured, “Brother Xun, you want to elevate Old Tang to a godlike status?”

Lu Zixun chuckled, “Of course, why else would the Demon Country expend so much effort? Afterward, we’ll let Old Tang hold on to the Heavenly Favored for a few days. Do you think the accumulated Power of Faith will be enough for us to create a J-level Demon Ability User?”

“More than enough.”

Eyes blazing with fervor, Ge Changming clenched his fist, “Don’t worry, Brother Xun, leave this matter to me. If Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures dare to join the battle for supremacy, I’ll make sure they contribute nothing. And if the Insect Clan’s Commander dares make an appearance, our intelligence unit will lock on immediately to make sure we support Old Tang in winning this battle.”

“Mhm, but remember, during the entire battle for supremacy, we must not reveal any information about the Demon Clan; otherwise, all our efforts will be for naught.”

After this instruction, Lu Zixun yawned, “Alright, I’m tired.”

“You rest first, Brother Xun, I’ll go and make the arrangements.”

Once Ge Changming had left, Lu Zixun took out Sky Pool 01 and 03.

Looking at these two completely unrelated objects, he fell into deep thought; how should he unseal them?

“System, do you know how to unseal Sky Pool?”

Lu Zixun’s query was met with silence, eliciting no response.

Lu Zixun sighed. It seemed that relying on the system was futile; he would have to investigate for himself.
