Chapter 338: No More Tea Leaves

Sitting in the tank, Xiaoai’s curiosity never stopped.

The structure of this steel monster amazed her.

She was surprised to witness the roar of machinery and the power system that could move fast without any magic. There were also arcane spells, or divine spells, or the air conditioner, monitor, and communicator inside the tank…

She had never seen or heard of anything like this.

There were many civilizations in the multiverse that had advanced or even dream technology.

The soul sucking monsters could once drive their huge spaceships and travel in the astral world.

Netheril’s floating-space city once had the most advanced arcana facilities in the world.

The Grand Arcanists once claimed that the so-called gods were only slightly more powerful spellcasters.

According to legend, in the mysterious mechanical realm, magical creatures were constructed, and many axis factories were built in their sockets.

Unfortunately, Xiaoai had never seen the mechanical realm.

It was an extremely mysterious outer space in the multiverse.

But here, this roaring steel monster displayed features that were different from other known civilizations in the multiverse.

No magic, no divine spells.

Mortals had the ability to drive huge steel monsters.

“If they learn arcane spells…” Xiaoai thought, “They even know how to use divine spells…”

“The entire multiverse will probably fall into chaos!”

“If another god system appears, this world will probably become a new outer space!”

Outside the main material world, seventeen known outer spaces revolved around the crystal wall system.

The so-called abyss was just one of them.

The heavenly realm was also one of them.

From Xiaoai’s point of view, this brand-new world also had the possibility of becoming an outer space.

Because there was a unique civilization and technology here.

Moreover, she could feel that the psionic power in the air was slowly becoming denser.

There was a psionic power blowing in the world.

It swept up the psionic substance that had been silent for a long time in the multiverse.

It even drew energy from the astral world.

Under this psionic power tide, the psionic power density in this world would slowly increase, and eventually reach the level of Faerun.

This was enough to support the birth of the Great Arcanists and gods in this world.

Once someone could hold up the Kingdom of God and ignite the divine fire.

A few thousand years later, this world might have a chance to become a powerful outer world.

Thinking of this, Xiaoai’s eyes lit up.

“This is the arrangement of fate, right?!”

The Sky-piercer clan had always been trapped in the wilderness.

If they could establish a relationship with such a world, when the god system of this world was established, wouldn’t the sky-piercer clan be able to take the opportunity to flourish?

They might even have a chance to become independent from the control of the elven god King…

The rumbling tanks soon arrived at a camp that had just been established.

There was a steel wall here.

Automatic machine gun sentry towers appeared on the wall.

The high-voltage electric net formed the first layer of defense on the wall.

Han Li noticed that there were already mages appearing on the wall.

The tank passed through the security check in front of the heavy steel gate and entered the camp.

Immediately, a team of fully armed soldiers walked over.

They were wearing a helmet with a camera on it. Beside the camera, there was a small detector.

In addition, they were wearing some kind of spraying device.

“Colonel, they are from the Quarantine Unit…” Wang Ling took off his helmet and explained with a smile, “This is the rule of the United Nations Security Council…”

“From three months ago, countries all over the world began to counterattack…”

“We are constantly recovering the lost land!”

“But… evil spirit and monsters are still troubling us, so we have to establish a strict quarantine system and censorship measures… please understand, Colonel Han!”

Han Li nodded, picked up Xiao Ai beside her, and climbed out of the side door of the tank with Wang Qian.

The quarantine personnel immediately went forward, and the cameras on their helmets began to work.

Then, it was time for the detector.

Beep… Beep… Beep..

A beeping sound was heard.

People looked at Xiaoai, and a sharp alarm sounded from their earphones, “Unknown invasive creature detected! Unknown invasive creature detected!”

The alarm on the wall also sounded.

Machine Gun Sentry Towers began to turn.

The quarantine officer looked at Han Li nervously and asked, “Colonel Han, who is she?”

“A guest…” Han Li didn’t explain too much and only said, “Don’t worry, I’ll guarantee her safety!”

The angel of the sky-piercer clan was the enemy of the Abyss.

The enemy of the enemy was a friend.

If humans wanted to survive, they had to win over allies.

They had to let their allies provide protection when they were still weak and weak.

Otherwise, once the abyss found out about the current situation of humans.

They did not care about the price. Instead, they invaded on a large scale and even directly pulled Earth into the deep orbit of the Abyss. Endless Demons thus descended.

At that time, if there were no reinforcements, the Earth would be torn apart in an instant.

As s man in a military uniform walked over from afar, he said, “Colonel Han!” Then, he walked up with a smile. “You’re back!”

Han Li immediately saluted. “Reporting to you, Minister. I’m Han Li, the demon hunter of the Security Department of Donglin City!”

The man was Wang Jingcheng, the Minister of the Security Department of Donglin City, who had been taking care of her since her teacher flew into the sky.

Wang Jingcheng looked at Han Li as if she were his own daughter.

Waving his hand, he said to the quarantine officer, “Put down your weapons…”

“Colonel Han Li is the hero of mankind and the savior of the world…”

“She is also the ‘Guardian of Earth’selected by the United Nations!”

“All of her actions are legal!”

The soldiers stared at each other and immediately obeyed the order. They put away their weapons, deactivated the alarm, and left after saluting in formation.

Wang Jingcheng looked at the little girl next to Han Li with a smile.

It was an extremely cute little girl.

She was at most four years old, and looked almost no different from a human.

“Little friend… What’s Your Name?” Wang Jingcheng asked.

“My name is Xiao Ai!” Xiaoai’s voice was extremely clear. She looked at this human, and she could sense that this human’s soul had no malice toward her, so she said, “I love Xiao Ai of the sky-piercer Clan!”

To the angels of the sky-piercer clan, almost every single individual had long been fixed with a spell that allowed them to understand language.

“The sky-piercer Clan?” Wang Jingcheng frowned. A race that he had never heard of before!

“Little friend, where did you come from?”

Xiaoai answered naively, “I escaped from the Abyss with Han Li…”

“The Abyss?”

Xiaoai said, “Yes, the most dangerous and chaotic world in the entire multiverse, the bottomless abyss, the Cage of all good people, the place where sinners run rampant…”

“It’s also the culprit who invaded your world!”

Xiaoai raised her head and looked at the sky.

The talent of the sky-piercer clan allowed her to sense that the gravity from the Abyss was slowly pulling the orbit of this world.

Ten or twenty years later, the orbit of this world would be pulled into the inescapable zone of the bottomless abyss.

At that time, this world would only have two choices.

Either it would become a layer of the abyssal plane, and everyone would turn into demons or be devoured by demons.

Or it would be destroyed by the attacks of the bottomless abyss.

In all of history, there had never been a world that could break free from the bottomless abyss!

That was because the bottomless abyss was the World Devourer.

It had already devoured countless worlds., and it would continue to devour and digest them.

This was an unalterable destiny!

“Abyss?” Wang Jingcheng was alarmed and looked at Han Li. “Is Colonel Han real?”

Han Li nodded. “Well, monsters and evil spirit are only pawns and cannon fodder of the abyss demons…”

“Those things are hiding in the back of our world, eroding and dragging us…”

“Once the time comes, they will descend…”

“So, I can only take the risk to enter the abyss to investigate the situation…”

“I only met Xiaoai…”

Naturally, Han Li would not say anything else.

Knowing would not benefit humans.

Because she was on a lonely path, or even a dead end!

The Lord of deep space and another god who invested in her must have a request for her.

And she had no choice but to follow their arrangement!

Because this was the only chance for the human race!

Wang Jingcheng was silent.

Since Han Li brought back the Arcanist’s inheritance, the United Nations Security Council immediately distributed it to all the countries.

All the countries and organizations were mobilized to build schools and recruit qualified children.

Therefore, within a month, hundreds of level-0 mages and dozens of Level-1 mages appeared.

Human beings had a new ability to fight back, except for the Demon Hunter.

Especially last month, after the appearance of Level-3 mages in the Mage School in Donglin City, the evil spirit in the past was no match for the mages.

Fireball, arcane defense, arcane missile…

One after another, spells were discovered.

In the past, monsters and evil spirit that could only be eliminated with the cooperation of the army and the demon hunter were now vulnerable to spells!

With a few mages working together, they could suppress those harpy banshees, devil spiders, and even liches.

Humans finally had the possibility of returning to the golden era and recovering the lost land.

But now, Han Li told him that the evil spirit and monsters on Earth were just appetizers.

A group of cannon fodder and pawns of the abyss demons.

The demon lords that were muchstronger than the evil spirit and monsters were eyeing the world covetously!

Therefore, Wang Jingcheng had to believe it.

Because he and all the higher-ups of humanity had witnessed that last time, this Colonel Han Li had summoned an army from another world to fight against powerful monsters.

In the end, she had even summoned a creature from a meteor and killed the terrifying monster that had escaped from a certain world!

“Colonel Han…” Wang Jingcheng took a deep breath and asked, “How much time do we have?”

Han Li answered, “Maybe ten years…”

“In ten years, the gravity of the Abyss world will completely capture our world’s orbit…”

“But…”Han Li raised her head. “Before that, I will solve this problem!”

“Perhaps, at that time, the demons of the Abyss will be the ones to be afraid of!”

She had already drunk the freedom potion and become the enemy of the Abyss. As long as she obtained the Upper Abyss Research Report, obtained new potion formulas, and obtained new information and research on the abyss.

Then, when the time came, it would really be a switch between offense and defense.

Hunters would become prey!

Wang Jingcheng didn’t quite dare to believe it.

But he had to believe it.

Because Han Li had already proven with her actions that she was a person who could change the impossible into the possible.

It was precisely because of her that the humans, who could only hide and defend half a year ago, were now taking large strides to recover the lost land.

The human civilization was once again full of vitality!

Thinking of this, Wang Jingcheng asked, “Colonel Han, is there anything you need our help with this time?”

Han Li nodded and said, “I’m going to meet a great being…”

“He might be able to help me…”

“So…”

She looked at Wang Jingcheng and asked, “How many top-tier spiritual items do we have now?”

Wang Jingcheng Thought for a moment, took out a tablet, opened it, and logged in. Then, he handed the tablet to Han Li. “Colonel Han, you can choose any of the things here!”

“The United Nations Security Council has already passed the decision. There are no barriers to your requirements!”

Of course, everyone had already tasted the sweetness.

A few illusory spiritual mushrooms were exchanged for an incomparably precious inheritance, allowing the various human countries to grasp a safe, sustainable, and powerful military force.

Therefore, after the various human countries saw the results, they immediately passed the resolution unanimously.

Of course, there were some noises.

For example, some people had always wanted to obtain the secret of Han Li’s strength.

Especially with the appearance of the mages, the various countries began to recover their lost lands, some people inevitably had evil thoughts.

There was no choice, for this was the nature of humans.

Once they settled down, there would always be people blinded by greed.

Fortunately, most people were rational.

Therefore, Wang Jingcheng didn’t talk to Han Li.

Han Li held the tablet.

She looked at the names and descriptions of the spiritual objects that appeared on it.

After thinking for a while, she made a choice. She checked the selected objects one by one and then handed them back to Wang Jingcheng. “Minister, please get these things ready as soon as possible…”

Wang Jingcheng replied, “No problem!”

He looked at the options on the tablet and said immediately, “Han Li, wait for me for half a day… I’ll get them ready for you in the afternoon!”

The materials from the United Nations Security Council had long been transported to the central vault in Donglin City.

He just needed to go back and get them.

“Thank you, Minister!” responded Han Li.

Wang Jingcheng shook his head. “How can it be called trouble? You must have worked hard!”

With that, he sent someone to allocate Han Li a room in the camp. Then, he boarded an armored train and immediately rushed to Donglin city.

…

Stretching himself, Ling Ping’an stood up from his chair.

He picked up the cup and subconsciously wanted to take the tea leaves from the drawer, but he found nothing.

He took a closer look and found that the drawer, which was originally full of tea leaves, was now only left with a dozen or so pieces of leaves.

“You’re going to finish it so soon?” Ling Ping’an was stunned.

Since he was already used to drinking this kind of tea, he felt a little uncomfortable not being able to drink it all at once.

Unfortunately, this kind of tea should be privately-made tea leaves.

It was a very precious kind. Anyway, Ling Ping’an had never seen it on the Internet.

He picked up a few tea leaves and put them into a cup. Ling Ping’an said, “I haven’t seen that guest for some time…”

“I wonder how she is doing…”
