Chapter 473 - 466: No Need to Hide
"Oh?"
Huang Bin asked, confused by what Zhou Yuanjue had said.
He had not yet reached Saint Awakening, so he couldn’t truly comprehend power on that level. In his eyes, while Zhou Yuanjue was incredibly strong, he was still within the realm of Saint Awakening. After all, one man can’t fight an army. If the number of enemies grew too large, it would become extremely troublesome.
"Then what is the real threat?"
Huang Bin asked.
"It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about the Starry Sky Country’s Super Warriors or the Neo-Humans from the Apostle Plan. Their numbers are vast, but the actual combat strength of the majority is negligible."
"The real threat comes from the individuals at the very peak—for instance, the Celestial Organization’s top public combatants, the Seven Mo Luo."
Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked out the window.
"This time, those seven should all be gathering in the Black Continent."
Zhou Yuanjue murmured to himself, deeply interested in the abilities of these seven. Perhaps he could find some new inspiration from them.
He knew that those seven probably all possessed some kind of resurrection-like ability. He’d had a feeling when he killed the Plague of Rebellion, and it was further confirmed after he asked Anna about the circumstances of Life Silence’s death.
Compared to the fifty S Class individuals openly dispatched by the Starry Sky Country, he was more concerned about those lurking in the shadows.
Standing at the biological apex, with terrifying abilities that bordered on defying logic, each one of them posed a deadly threat.
"The Seven Mo Luo..."
Huang Bin muttered to himself upon hearing the name. He had heard it before, but due to the limits of his own strength and security clearance, he didn’t know all the details.
But beings that the man before him made a point to mention couldn’t possibly be pushovers.
Fifty S Class Warriors from the Starry Sky Country out in the open, and the unfathomable Seven Mo Luo lurking in the shadows. ’This situation is...’
Worry began to bubble up inside Huang Bin.
"When will the reinforcements from home and the other Far East Countries arrive?"
Zhou Yuanjue asked Huang Bin.
"They should be able to reach the Black Continent in about three days. However, I don’t have the clearance to know their specific arrival point."
Huang Bin said, shaking his head.
"Three days? Any news on the Baiyi and Desolate organizations?"
Zhou Yuanjue asked.
"Since the last attack, both organizations have completely relocated. Their peripheral forces have almost all gone into hiding, with some even blending in with local rebel armies. Even the Hunting Mark Organization’s intelligence network is struggling to track them. All operations across the Black Continent have temporarily halted."
"Oh, right. Sir, a message came from Donghua. If you have time, the Chief Commissioner would like to have a remote call with you. It should be about the upcoming deployment."
Huang Bin said to Zhou Yuanjue.
"Around what time?"
Zhou Yuanjue asked.
"Two o’clock in the afternoon, Donghua time. That’s about... two hours from now."
Huang Bin said after checking the time.
"I understand. Leave the communicator and go."
Zhou Yuanjue nodded.
"Yes, sir."
Huang Bin bowed slightly, slowly backed out of the room, and closed the door.
After Huang Bin left, Zhou Yuanjue slowly put down the intelligence report, closed his eyes, and turned his will inward.
His powerful will flowed unimpeded through his body. He could clearly "see" everything about himself.
Every inch of muscle, every strip of fascia, every bone, every blood vessel, and even every single cell.
At this moment, he was the true Sovereign of his own body.
After his battle with Zhang Dongwei, the latter had left again with his disciple, as if he had completely shed some kind of burden, his departure uninhibited and free.
And after returning, even though his physical body and magnetic field had both reached double consummation, placing him at the apex of all Martial Artists throughout history—a realm that even Dela could not have compared to—he still felt no sense of complacency or relaxation.
Because before him lay an even greater barrier.
This barrier was even more difficult than the shackles of Saint Awakening had been.
Saint Awakening at least had the experiences of predecessors to draw upon. But this shackle was unprecedented. Even the Ancient Heroes who managed to break through it did so entirely due to the grace of natural will, just like Zhang Dongwei—they knew that it happened, but not how or why.
After being able to perceive his own microscopic cells, Zhou Yuanjue tried to go one step further and sense the very genes that composed his body, but he did not succeed.
He could vaguely sense some sort of origin existing within every cell, but he couldn’t clearly understand or control it, let alone manipulate it to push his body to its next evolution.
Even if he could do that, another problem still lay before him: how to evolve, and in what direction.
’How exactly is the Life Atlas for human evolution supposed to be created?’
Zhou Yuanjue sank into deep thought.
Without him realizing it, two hours flew by. Zhou Yuanjue’s thoughts were finally broken by the vibration of the encrypted satellite communicator on the desk.
Needless to say, it was a call from the Chief Commissioner.
"Hello."
Zhou Yuanjue picked up the communicator and pressed the answer button.
"Yuan Jue, I’ll get straight to the point. The next phase of the plan we’ve formulated for you is to assign you to several nations with which our country has deep friendly ties. You will help them resist forces like the rebels, the Starry Sky Country, and the Celestial Organization."
"Their officials have already stated that they will do everything in their power to provide you with all possible conveniences. However, judging by the current situation, you’ll all need to hide your identities for now and operate from the shadows. All future communications with these nations will be handled by specialized personnel we’ve assigned from the three hundred elites to assist you."
"This is especially true for you. Although your power is great, your opponents are not to be trifled with. You also know your own influence back home, so you must be careful in all matters."
"We haven’t been able to get a complete picture of the fifty S Class Warriors sent by the Starry Sky Country, so we can’t fully assess their strength or threat level. Furthermore, our channels in Beisha Country have received intel suggesting the Seven Mo Luo may soon convene in the Black Continent. You’ve fought them before; one was already difficult to deal with. If all seven gather and you expose your position, it could cause immense trouble. This matter requires a cautious approach..."
The Chief Commissioner’s voice, formed by vibrating his magnetic field, came from the other end of the communicator.
"I don’t think all that trouble is necessary."
Just then, Zhou Yuanjue interrupted the Chief Commissioner.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
The Chief Commissioner asked, puzzled.
"The others can hide for now, but I don’t think I need to."
Zhou Yuanjue said.
The Chief Commissioner fell silent. Knowing Zhou Yuanjue as he did, he immediately understood what the man meant.
"Are you confident?"
The Chief Commissioner asked.
"Confidence in victory is hard to say. After all, I don’t know their true abilities, and we haven’t actually fought."
"But I am confident that as long as no King Level beings appear, no one in this world can stop me. Not even if all Seven Mo Luo gather together."
Zhou Yuanjue said calmly.
"Can I ask what exactly happened to you during this time?"
The Chief Commissioner couldn’t help but ask upon hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s almost arrogant words.
He knew that if these words came from someone else, it might be arrogance and showing off. But coming from this man, it was a statement of fact.
The desire to show off simply didn’t exist in him.
"It’s hard to explain in just a sentence or two. But you can understand it like this: at this very moment, I am standing at the absolute pinnacle of natural evolution for all life on Earth, from ancient times to the present."
Zhou Yuanjue’s tone remained perfectly calm.
