It was only then that w.a.n.g Zheng realized that for him, it was only a memorable IG compet.i.tion. However, for his opponents, w.a.n.g Zheng and Olivios were both monsters. The various feelings they had when they encountered these monsters couldn’t be described with words.

“w.a.n.g Zheng, do you have the intention to enter Academy X after you leave here?” asked Ate.

“Academy X?”

“Yeah, the various major alliances are bounded by their regions and have an Academy X, as well as an Elite Academy X, established within them. It is easier to enter Academy X, but only the pros from various places around Milky Way Alliance have the qualifications to enter the Elite Academy X. Our captain applied to it, but the entrance tests were very difficult,” said Ate with a face of envy.

w.a.n.g Zheng rubbed his nose and replied, “It should be alright. With Ao Ziwei’s strength, if she couldn’t make it, there aren’t many that could.”

“The Elite Academy X doesn’t consist of just those from the latest IG, but the last few batches as well. There are no limitations on age, but one has to have a relatively mature Ability X. Other than that, there are also talents from non-military backgrounds. It could be considered a place where the strong people of the Milky Way Alliance congregate. If one could enter that place, it would definitely result in a breakthrough. The results of the Silver Snake Republic weren’t good enough and I couldn’t enter it. However, with two additional years of trial and training, I could apply for it again.”

Kong Zhan said. Anyone with some level of ambition would also want to go to that place.

“Oh, right. The Academy has made an exception and accepted Olivios.”

“He was the Captain of the IG champions after all. To be accepted directly wouldn’t be an issue. Moreover, truthfully speaking, even if Olivios were to enter that place, he wouldn’t be one of the weak people.”

Kong Zhan said. From his perspective, that place would be the gathering hub of the real monsters.

“We should probably solve the problem in front of us first.” w.a.n.g Zheng laughed. There was still such an interesting place! This was probably something that he would need. He had a thick and solid foundation but was weak in mental strength and theories on Ability X. If he had to depend on his little ability to understand on his own, he wouldn’t know how long it would take him.

Kong Zhan and Ate had the same thoughts. If w.a.n.g Zheng was also here, what were they whining about? They should be focusing on completing the tasks at hand honestly. They could also likely learn much by following w.a.n.g Zheng,

On the other hand, w.a.n.g Zheng was very interested in Kong Zhan’s “Wind” attribute Ability X. w.a.n.g Zheng had considered him to be a subject for research.

w.a.n.g Zheng also had his thoughts. With such a concentrated “Wind” attribute environment, coupled with the fact that he had someone with the same attribute around him, if he couldn’t achieve enlightenment on the “Wind” ability, he would be letting everyone down.

In the faraway Earth.

Lear had locked himself in a small hut. He was completely shaken. He didn’t really mind the white-robed man, who had treated him badly initially. Honestly speaking, he hated others touching his Skylink. He didn’t react because of his grandfather.

However, after he opened the program, he was completely shaken.

The first reaction was that he really wanted to strangle that b.a.s.t.a.r.d to death. He was a true idiot. This was because the thing he had transferred to Lear’s Skylink was a… game!

d.a.m.n, a game! He was clearly looking for death!

Although he was furious, Lear managed to calm down. He eventually decided to open it. The house wasn’t lacking of any virtual reality devices. The truth was that similar to CT, virtual reality game had always been popular. However, the Milky Way Alliance had relatively strict or even harsh attention as they felt that the virtual reality world was dangerous. Therefore, various countries were very strict in the control of this aspect.

This model was clearly from the black market. This was because it did not have the permission from the Milky Way Alliance.

The black markets in various countries would sell such programs. However, they were basically doing it discreetly as no one dared to create a huge fuss. This had aroused Lear’s curiosity.

However, when he entered, Lear was completely stunned.

This was because within this virtual reality called “Saint”, surprisingly, there were cultivation techniques! To be more correct, it was a virtual reality where one could obtain virtual cultivation techniques through various means!

The cultivation techniques were the real stuff! Although he was only able to experience the lowest grade of the cultivation techniques, it was definitely real. Such treasures were surprisingly available in Saint…

Who was the one that could create such stuff? Was there still such a terrifying faction in existence in this world?

Everyone within Saint was wearing a mask and had a short nickname.

Lear felt that there were ordinary people and Ability X users in Saint. Without a doubt, there was a method in here that could make an ordinary person become strong and someone strong become invincible.

This had shaken the roots that Lear had always been proud of.

He saw the Old Chronos and the Old Chronos seemed to know that Lear would come.

“You can ask what you want in one go.” Since the white-robed man had come, the Old Chronos seemed to have completely relaxed. However, he also seemed to have aged a lot.

“Grandpa, what is the ident.i.ty of the other party? Why did he have so many cultivation techniques in his possession?”

The Old Chronos stood up. “Our Sixty Four Skies Refinement was actually stolen. That happened several hundred years ago. At that time, the humans were different from the current us. We had relied on cultivation techniques and technologies to emerge victorious against the Zerg and were able to enter the age of interstellar navigation. At that time, we already knew that the humans would not just conquer the Milky Way Alliance but the whole universe!”

Old Chronos sighed faintly. “However, just when we thought that we had become the masters of the universe, the catastrophe fell upon us. Many of the people who were practicing the cultivation techniques showed signs of losing control. When it happened, they would enter a berserk state, and there was no cure for it. Moreover, it seemed to spread quickly. In a very short amount of time, humans seemed to have found another layer of barriers between the Earth and heaven. We couldn’t borrow more power from the cultivation techniques as they suddenly lost their effects. Therefore, the origin of the cultivation techniques, Saint Church, was under siege from the highest authority of the Human Alliance at that time. Although it was called a siege, the Saint Church was already empty when our ancestors entered. Our ancestors had kept a cultivation technique secretly, and that was the Sixty Four Skies Refinement.”

“Weren’t we still fine after practicing this cultivation technique?”

“Rumors had it that the Saint Church did something that went against the will of G.o.d and had stopped the self-restoration of the universe. This had caused issues with the people who utilized such cultivation techniques. However, it was definitely a blow to the humans, and we have spent a long amount of time to recover from it. However, the technological level at that time was still very high and the strongest enemies, the Zerg, had been conquered. Therefore, humans started to expand rapidly and formed the current Milky Way Alliance. However, the Solar System Federation had lost the ruling position during this process. One reason for it was because of the decreasing power. Another reason was actually that we were made the scapegoat.” Old Chronos laughed.

“What you are saying is that the opportunity for our revival has finally appeared?”

“You are right. From something as large as the universe to something as small as a human, they all have a self-restoring ability. A human can get ill and Earth might experience earthquakes and volcanoes. The self-restoring of the universe is a little more terrifying, but it wouldn’t stay damaged for eternity. The opportunity has arisen now. Therefore, the power of our cultivation technique has increased. Although it still can’t be compared with the past, it will definitely still be an opportunity for the Chronos family!”

Lear frowned. Old Chronos smiled and said, “What you are worrying won’t be a problem. The scale of the Saint Church wasn’t that small. They have been dismantled and went into hiding in those years and have probably suffered as a result of that. Moreover, times have changed. What they need now are capable people. What you have received is, in fact, the selection to become a disciple of the Saint Church.”

“Aren’t they afraid that something would leak out?”

“Hehe. If it was just low-grade cultivation technique, it wouldn’t matter. It would only make others desire it more. As for high-grade cultivation techniques, not everyone is able to obtain them.”

“What you mean is that I should focus my energy on this?” Lear still couldn’t accept it.

There was no doubt that one’s strength was important. However, in this world, authority and influence were more important.

The Old Chronos smiled and said, “You can decide on the route to take. From now onwards, the Chronos family will be handed over to you. Whether it will be destroyed or become magnificent, it will be dependent on your decisions.”

The entire situation had exceeded one’s control. The Milky Way Alliance was still strong and various major traditional powerhouses had taken shape and couldn’t be shaken. The revival of Saint Church was mainly in the dark. If it wasn’t because of the opportunity to become stronger, the Saint Church might not be of any use. However, if it was to rise, it would likely be a long process of chances, conflicts, dilemma, reliance and co-existence. This would only mean 1 thing!

The era of chaos was about to descend!

Which route would be the right one to take?

No one would know.

The Old Chronos felt very relaxed. He had put down this burden. Everyone on Earth would dream about restoring the establishment that Earthlings in the past had achieved. However, with the coming of the age of interstellar navigation, this dream had drifted further and further away and one could no longer see any hope of achieving it.

The old Chronos even felt that if it was not for the Solar System being the origin of humans, the Saint Church might not even care about it as they only required disciples.

Opportunity had to be captured by oneself.

The old butler, Drupe, walked over slowly and handed him another thing.

It was the examination notice for the Elite Academy X.

There were many different routes, and Lear had to make the right choice.

After pondering for some time, Lear’s eyes lit up. Suddenly, he realized why his grandfather was so happy. The Saint Church was within the Milky Way Alliance, and the Milky Way Alliance was within the Saint Church. There was finally a crack in the door to victory. At the very least, he had something more than others.

At the same time, Achilles and Lie Xin had received the notice for the entrance examination for the Elite Academy X.

In the Solar System, only Lear, Achilles, Lie Xin, and w.a.n.g Zheng had an official slot. There was a remaining slot open for recommendation. After expending much of its connections, the Chronos family was finally able to help Luo Fei obtain the last slot.

For a long period of time, the Chronos family would have to be cautious and behaved. Favors from others and connections were things that had to be returned.

w.a.n.g Zheng’s notice was in the hands of Meng Ao. Every cloud had a silver lining! Although there were still six months, he could use this as an excuse to recall w.a.n.g Zheng.

Undoubtedly, Meng Ao and the rest were the most happy about it. Therefore, he had not obstructed the Chronos family when they were trying to fight for Luo Fei’s slot. Because of this, the Chronos family would not be able to prevent them from recalling w.a.n.g Zheng.

In Meng Ao’s imagination, w.a.n.g Zheng must be in dire straits. He might even be resenting his life. However, it would also be great for a teenager to undergo such trials. Meng Ao was not in a hurry, as he understood that one could only achieve success after sharpening and honing his character.

What he didn’t know was that Student w.a.n.g was very happy with his current life.

Due to him becoming the section leader and his relations.h.i.+p with the Lan family, w.a.n.g Zheng basically had no need to attend the formalities. He had spent his time on training, mech research, and teaching his disciples instead.

Giants of t.i.ta as disciples.

Other than Rara Durai and Shan Meng, Mu Sen had selected two extremely talented giants from the Pool Tribe and Ling Shan Tribe and gifted them to w.a.n.g Zheng.

Mu Sen even sent six giants to bring huge amounts of native products as tributes to Ada for this matter.

Looking at the teasing face of Ye Zisu, w.a.n.g Zheng felt that he seemed to be a crook and was bullying kids.

On the other hand, Kong Zhan and Ate’s eyes almost popped out after seeing the giants bowing down on the floor to w.a.n.g Zheng. One wouldn’t have to worry about surprises when one was with w.a.n.g Zheng.

Lan Ling had naturally tagged along. Although this was the first encounter between Lan Ling and Ye Zisu, it would have a huge impact on humans for the following 10 years or more.
