The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 570: The Experts That Disregarded The Bigger Picture

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In almost every heart there is a thorn that exists within. Some might not hurt as long as they are not touched. Some thorns, however, remind you of pain regardless of whether you touched it or not.

For many people, the thorn might signify love. It signified having toiled endlessly for her, only to have her end up in the arms of others. Every time she was seen, or her name mentioned, the thorn would begin to hurt.

The thorn in Chen Feiyu’s heart was entrenched deeper and far beyond the pains of love! Those who were the pillars of support in his life were destroyed by the Founding Society, the aftermath had become a thorn in his heart.

The intent to kill and rage were colder than the cold air in the room. Chen Feiyu remained silent, but his eyes stayed sharp.

“Regarding these things, all I can do is apologize.” The old voice of the brain did not show much sincerity. It could be because he had lost his body, thus losing his humanity. Or it could also be that he was numb to all these things due to his longevity.

“The original Founding Society was only responsible for observation. It wasn’t the original Founding Society that did it. Didn’t you think that it was too miraculous for you to escape with your sickly sister by your side with the strength you had at that time? As for the passing of your sister, that was simply because Zhang Hao wanted to try out another test on his failed experiment. He realized that you were stoic enough to withstand any livelihood pressure he threw at you, so he decided to find out how you would be if your final pillar of support was stripped away from you. You are not the only one to have endured this...”

The frail voice didn’t stop, “You should already know that Zhang Hao’s Founding Society is stronger. Even if an observer wished to intervene, it would not have changed anything. Besides, we also wanted to know the result. If you feel that destroying the Founding Society can alleviate your hatred, feel free to do so.”

Qin Fen took a deep breath. If this brain still maintained its human form, his expression when he said these words would probably be similar to the Snake King, Du Hen’s, right?

“Excuse me...” Qin Fen stared at the brain and asked slowly, “What is your true identity?”

“Me?” The old voice asked with a hint of bitter laughs, “I am the founder of the Founding Society, and Zhang Hao is a disciple of mine. He said that scientists should not be the parents of human beings, but their rulers and governors instead. They don’t need love, but rather, control, totalitarian control.”

Qin Fen raised his eyebrows, “Why did you show me all this for...?”

“Are you thinking that I am going to ask you to defeat my disciple?” The old voice asked with a little ridicule in his voice, “No, no. The very fact that you could make your way here has proven that you are qualified to know the truth, just like how Tagatha and the Jade Emperor were qualified to know the truth. As for what you wish to do, I will not intervene.”

“Since they know...”

“Why would they still want to fight that hard for the title of the divine beast?” The brain once again cut off Qin Fen’s words, “First, they recognize the legitimacy of the current martial artists’ system. To become a divine beast martial artist, one must not only have strong martial prowess, but also a team of strong subordinates, as well as the power to build a true society, forming a conglomerate in the process. As for the second reason, the prerequisite for becoming a divine beast martial artist is to attain the strongest martial power. As for the ways to attain it, I am sure that you are clear about it.”

Qin Fen’s expression was sullen. The strength of the divine beast martial artists was not something that could be attained just by having a chat or conversations on life with a peer over lunch.

Even if one could possess such power, pros who had never experienced brutal life-and-death battles might just end up being a nutritional supply to the brutal creatures from the Pandora dimension when they finally face them, right?

To attain the strength of a divine beast martial artist, one must toe the line of life and death. To do so requires not just one, but many battles of life and death.

This may be cruel, but it is indeed a fact!

Qin Fen also understood the position of the Sacred Martial Hall in a flash. Perhaps Wu Zun really has the martial dao level of divine beast martial artists. However, if he becomes one of the divine beast martial artists, the existence of a fair and just band of elite martial artists would be shattered in the hearts of many martial artists.

In addition to the massive library of martial arts tomes and powerful martial dao strength, the biggest reason as to why the Sacred Martial Hall could become the Holy Land in the heart of martial artists was the fact that it was fair and just to a fault! Such fairness was not possible even with the power of divine beast martial artists.

Such fairness would bring the mentality of martial artists to a relatively peaceful state. Otherwise, if one was working for Qilin only to find out that Song Jia was the granddaughter of Qilin, they would definitely think that Qilin gave special treatment to Song Jia over them, and that their efforts were in vain.

Yet this would not happen at Sacred Martial Hall! As long as you worked hard in Sacred Martial Hall, you would have a chance to get ahead and reap more rewards!

Usually, Sacred Martial Hall could provide powerful martial artists to the Federation. At the same time, the martial artists would have deeper bonds with each other as everyone lived together and had formed a tacit understanding.

If war broke out, the Sacred Martial Hall would be a huge war machine. There was no power in the Sacred Martial Hall inferior to any martial artist outside. Even from the perspective of comprehensive strength, Sacred Martial Hall was far beyond any divine beast martial elite.

“No wonder...” Qin Fen began to understand why Song Wendong would say the other day that if Qin Fen did not practice martial arts, he would not stop Qin Fen from falling in love with Song Jia.

Martial artists, martial artists of the younger generation! The stronger they were, the closer they would be to death. It was needless to talk about the dangers of fighting for the divine beast martial artist title, as there was something even more dangerous. That was the Queen Bee, as well as the Emperor that could be birthed by the Queen Bee at any time!

Usually, martial artists were indifferent to such events. However, when they were invaded by foreign powers, the amount of responsibility they bore wasn’t from the capabilities they possess, but rather from the bloodlust within every martial artist! Any hot-blooded man would not be able to be indifferent if they saw their compatriots being invaded by foreign powers!

If you don’t practice martial arts, you might live longer. Qin Fen looked at the sea of creatures from Pandora covering the dimly lit screen. He knew that if war broke out, these creatures would invade.

“Sad, right?” The brain voiced out intensified ridicule.

Qin Fen nodded gently. This was indeed a form of sadness; knowing about the existence of creatures like the Queen Bee, yet unable to adapt to their dimension. All humanity could do now was to improve the martial prowess of the martial arts masters. The birth of an utmost strong master was far more effective than the birth of several Constellation Warriors.

“Young man, I’m sure you know about the success stories of the super nano battle suit, right?” The brain voiced out an inquiry, strangely filled with confidence, “If that thing were to be worn before traversing into the Pandora dimension, even divine beast martial artists would not have their power restrained.”

Qin Fen was shocked by the news and touched the clothing on his body subconsciously. I didn’t expect this suit to have such an effect.

“Are you going to ask — since there is such a suit, why haven’t we invaded the dimension?” The brain voiced out with further dissatisfaction, “It’s really ironic. As the timeline has returned to normal, the Queen Bee has ceased to evolve. If all divine beasts martial artists and martial dao masters from the Federation were to invade with the super nano battle suit, there is about a seventy percent or higher success rate. But alas...”

“White Tiger is dead! Someone killed White Tiger without weighing the consequences of the whole situation!” The brain’s voice was filled with a deep dissatisfaction, “White Tiger was killed at the most crucial moment!”

“The one that killed White Tiger...” Qin Fen tempted to ask, “Was it my brother?”

“I don’t know about that. I haven’t seen the true appearance of this young man. Even the other divine beast martial artists have never seen his true face. But one fateful day, the young man found the Founding Society and asked to enter Pandora. He demonstrated a grandiose massacre for everyone and retreated back to the normal world with slight panic as the Queen Bee pursued him with countless soldiers behind.

“Queen Bee’s pursuit? With countless soldiers? Slight panic?” Qin Fen doubted his hearing. In Pandora, anyone who entered it would face a sharp decrease in their martial prowess. Even the divine beast martial artists would not stand a chance in front of the now strongest Queen Bee. How did he escape under the pursuit of the Queen Bee and her army? There should be a lot of strong soldiers in the army, right? And what did he mean by slight panic?

“Yes, he was pursued by the Queen Bee and a whole army of powerful creatures. Surprisingly, he managed to escape with just a slightly panicked expression on his face.” The brain narrated with a similar feeling of confusion, “I don’t understand, someone as strong as the Qilin had their power constricted severely in the Pandora dimension, yet, that young man didn’t seem to be affected much.”

“It is also the very presence of this guy that gave other divine beast martial artists the confidence to counterattack.” The brain complained again, “But no one had expected this guy to fly into an uncontrollable rage, killing White Tiger in the process... forcing the divine beast martial artists to bring forward the Great Ensemble. To counterattack, they only asked for the strength of a divine beast martial artist. Of course...”

Thousands of Pandora’s creatures filled the projection screen. Among them consisted of not only evolved creatures such as the Six-barrel Gatling Gun Spiders, but also aerial creatures resembling the shape of a human fighter jet.

On the same day, the Queen Bee raided human beings and had consumed fighter jets in the process. Yet, her stomach showed no signs of bloating.

Qin Fen even suspected that, given enough time, if the Queen Bee had consumed a cosmic warship, the eggs she laid would become as huge as a cosmic warship and would possess the capabilities of a cosmic warship after a period of growth.

Such peculiar evolutionary power was, in a sense, more terrifying than the Emperor that the Queen Bee intended to produce. If enough space was split open at the portal, they would rush out en masse.

These weak creatures were instead completely unconstrained by the constraints of space and could overturn the entire Federation. Even divine beast martial artists might have a hard time dealing with them.

“Fortunately, with the super nano battle suit, all they need to do is enter the holographic state.” The brain’s voice was full of pride, “The soldiers will then be stepping onto the Magnetic Flying Sword while enjoying the protection of the super nano battle suit.”
