CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 405: THE DISTRESS SIGNAL FROM STARFIRE STATION

"Snap."

Su Qi stretched out his hand to press on the door, causing a crisp sound as he pushed it open.

"You really are careless."

Ah Qi leaned against the wall, "Your Divine Son and Young Master are exchanging secret codes and contacting other Divine Sons, exchanging intelligence, yet you went out for a stroll."

At that moment, they had already entered the stronghold previously established by Chenxing.

Su Qi looked at Lu Fan and Rab, who were sitting outside at this very moment, somewhat stiffly upright, truly resembling subordinates of An Nan.

Although they initially felt uncomfortable, after traveling for three days, even if they were foaming at the mouth, they were eager to keep up, which showed they also recognized this as an opportunity; who would willingly remain ordinary?

They had now entered what was called a stronghold.

Chenxing’s team consisted of about one hundred and seventy people, with Ah Qi and others being elite-level powerful Daoist Guardians while the rest, although not weak, mainly provided other kinds of support resources.

"Top-tier teams, in a normal world would be somewhat celebrities, but here they are the best embodiment of power and influence."

At that moment,

A meeting was being held inside. A plan had already been made, and everyone was operating separately, considering that there were ten frontline cities around the Demon Land.

Once everyone reached their respective operational areas, they would start the first step of contacting and confirming intelligence.

They aimed to challenge and obtain high-level Holy Artifacts, necessitating deployment, which was a crucial part of the plan.

Meanwhile, Su Qi had not participated, as he was merely a Daoist Guardian at the moment, and had just taken a walk earlier.

Besides adventurers scattered around numerous Survivor Towns chasing after spurting orbs of light, this city had gathered most of the true powerhouses, although many forces and teams were present, a significant number of adventurers still possessed top-tier individual strength.

Additionally,

He went out not only to wander but also to contact some other people and set up some Starfire Stations.

"Old Huang is still on the way, not yet near Demon Land," Su Qi wasn’t worried about Brother Huang.

That old sly fox had high standards and didn’t care for those erupting orbs; he was leading people to collect Holy Artifact Fragments and slowly making their way over.

Thus, Su Qi just let him do as he saw fit, controlling things from a high level.

But most importantly,

It was Bai Yilin and his group; previously, they were under control, but the situation had now changed with major forces emerging; they... possibly had a hard time proceeding.

Of course,

Su Qi needed them, The Hustlers Sect said it was time to start growing and stepping onto the stage, but up to now, no one had shown up, which seemed somewhat unreasonable.

At least pulling some people over to support one’s appearance was vital.

Relying on the temporary help of Lu Fan and Rab wouldn’t make it easy to stand firm later.

And Su Qi had just gone out to wander, specifically to set up Starfire Stations, the current efficiency was low, mainly limited by production speed, capping at about fifty Starfire Stations per day.

Still waiting for a version update and technological upgrade.

Su Qi had placed these fifty around the city, not just to see if they could spot those guys but also to plant seeds.

Anyone with clear eyes could see this world was important; what would happen in the future was uncertain, but Su Qi knew the blossoming of the World Tree would occur here.

Having more Starfire Stations set up would certainly be useful in the future.

Moreover,

For certain beings capable of receiving signals, the effects were outstanding.

For instance, for Mechanical Life like Bai Qixing, after all, the Heart of Divine Weapon was inherently a force from their dimension.

"They should have returned to their dimension and learned what had happened."

Su Qi and Bai Qixing had made an agreement; it needed to urgently return to the Divine Machinery Kingdom to understand what had occurred.

Su Qi didn’t stop it but had one person stay to accompany Bai Yilin and others, knowing Bai Qixing would definitely return.

Because the Divine Machinery Kingdom had been destroyed, no longer existing, and the only clue was with him, including the core.

At that moment,

The door inside made a clicking sound and opened.

An Nan walked out with a somber face, with Chenxing’s silhouette in the room, surrounded by various holographic projections just contacted.

They were the Divine Sons from the previous meeting, Young Masters, and in the middle was the God’s Son; they were also dispersing.

It seemed the meeting had ended.

Chenxing slowly stepped out, his eyes slightly cold.

"Ah Qi, get the others to come back, we will have a small meeting in half an hour."

"Yes." Ah Qi immediately began contacting.

After An Nan and Chenxing left first.

"Why do both of you look upset, was there a disagreement?" Lu Fan whispered.

"It shouldn’t be," Rab shook his head, "Their faces didn’t show much anger but more of a solemn atmosphere, like the calm before the storm, with formidable enemies ahead, Brother Su, what do you think?"

Su Qi was picking up an old newspaper and reading without even lifting his head, said lightly, "I didn’t see."

Lu Fan and Rab: "...."

An Nan had just sent him a message to wait a moment, calling for a brief moment to discuss a troublesome matter, but probably nothing too serious.

However,

Su Qi looked at the newspaper in his hands, a dusty paper he had found while roaming the streets, dated three years prior.
