  There were not many big shots with such strength.

  The number of people who could be related to the Abnormal Beast Research Department could be counted on one hand.

  Meng Chao pondered for a moment, and his eyes immediately lit up.

  “Master Lei!

  “So the backer of the Abnormal Beast Research Department is the Battle God, Lei Zongchao!”


  This discovery made Meng Chao ecstatic.

  In his vision of Dragon City’s future, the Red Dragon Army and the nine mega corporations should reach a new balance. They were like two thick golden thighs that supported the progress of Dragon City’s civilization.

  However, the rise of the Red Dragon Army was bound to affect the interests of the nine mega corporations……

  No one could have predicted that the probing, trading, and friction between the two sides would escalate into an internal division and an all-out conflict.

  In order for Dragon City to form a new order in a gentle, orderly, and stable manner in the “post-Monster War era,” it was necessary to have a high prestige in the hearts of all the forces and even all the citizens, there were also superhuman figures who had absolute force as the ultimate deterrent, stepping forward and acting as the “Ocean-Pacifying Needle.”


  Only in this way could the “New Order of Dragon City” be built in the shortest time and at the lowest price.

  In Meng Chao’s opinion, no one was more suitable to be the “anchor” than Battle God Lei Zongchao.

  “Master Lei was not a member of the Red Dragon Army. He was a noble man and voluntarily surrendered the highest power in the past, which allowed the nine mega corporations to successfully set up the Survival Committee and monopolize the key areas and unify the resources of Dragon City. His decades and a half of retirement and semi-seclusion made his prestige and status in the hearts of all the citizens rise to an unparalleled level.”


  Meng Chao thought to himself, ‘Battle God Lei Zongchao is the “greatest common denominator” of all the forces in Dragon City. If he is willing to stand out and take charge of the overall situation, I believe that no one will be unconvinced. Even if someone is unconvinced, they will be attacked by a group of people!’


  Before this, Meng Chao was most worried about two things.

  The first was that Lei Zongchao still died in the battle to attack the Hidden Mist Domain, just like in his previous life.

  Fortunately, such a tragedy didn’t happen after his and everyone’s efforts.

  The second was that Lei Zongchao was about to die. His will was depressed and he was no longer as ambitious as before.

  One had to know that this “martial arts legend” wasn’t a person who was greedy for power and ambitious.

  Otherwise, he wouldn’t have withdrawn from the competition to become the Master of Dragon City. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, he even opposed his best friend, “Tyrant Saber” Jin Wanhao, and went head to head with the nine major families.

  Therefore, Meng Chao had been worried that his hot blood would not be able to dampen Lei Zongchao’s dejection.

  Through the two incidents involving the Abnormal Beast Research Department and Universe Corporation’s scandal, Meng Chao vaguely sensed that Lei Zongchao was not as aloof as he appeared to be.

  A martyr in his old age was filled with ambition. The old man still hoped that he could do more for the future of Dragon City at the last moment of his life.

  “That’s great.”


  Meng Chao thought to himself, “When the cultivation here in the monster lair is over and all the trivial matters have come to an end, I will return to Battle God Palace as soon as possible and tell Master Lei about the soul-stirring battle between Jin Qianxi and the mother on the invisible battlefront.

  “I believe that when Lei Zongchao learns that the love of his life has actually given so much for Dragon City and that he has such great expectations for her compatriots and civilization, he will definitely rouse his spirits and inherit Jin Qianxi’s will and give it his all, right?

  “When Lei Zongchao really makes up his mind to do what he should have done decades ago, I can comb through the memory fragments of my previous life and sift out some key information for him to know.

  “With Lei Zongchao taking charge of the overall situation and mediating in the middle, the Red Dragon Army and the nine mega corporations will definitely be able to reach a new balance. By then, our civilization will have a brand-new look and be more closely united than in the past. Then, there will be no worries and we will be able to make great strides outside Monster Mountain Range!”


  Meng Chao, who had made up his mind, was not in a hurry to step forward and jump into the boiling whirlpool of public opinion.

  He had rich experience in stealth, hibernation, and assassination in his previous life. After returning from the apocalypse, he was much calmer than his “peers.”


  Since the Land Enclosure Decree had been cleverly stopped by the opposing forces using the method of “The brewing of the Heaven and Earth pharmaceutical scandal.”.

  He didn’t need to add to it. Instead, he could use his strength at more critical moments and more important places.

  As such, during this period of time, he didn’t participate in the debate that was becoming more and more chaotic. It was also becoming more and more like a war of words.

  It was just that in the depths of the monster’s lair in the second historical remnant, he was cultivating crazily, absorbing the power of the ancient era as if he was hungry. He was exploring the secrets hidden in the deepest part of his genes.

  The critical weapon could not replace the critical weapon, and material power could only be destroyed by material power.

  When it came to the benefits of real gold and silver, no theory would work.

  If Meng Chao was still a small five-star Heaven Realm warrior, no matter how much of a hero he was in Dragon City, he would still be talking nonsense with medals hanging on his chest.

  Only a pair of invincible iron fists that could destroy the world could pull all the forces in Dragon City to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk. Everyone would discuss the principle of survival calmly.

  Of course, Meng Chao was still far from cultivating a pair of invincible iron fists that could destroy the world.

  He was still a long way from the legendary Deity Realm.

  However, he was only one step away from the six-star Spirit Armor Realm or even the peak of Heaven Realm.

  This was not easy.

  Although the Deity Realm was strong, it consumed an astronomical amount of cultivation resources.

  When it was fully activated, the resonance between the vitality magnetic field and the planet magnetic field would trigger all kinds of unexpected reactions.

  Not to mention the problems that would affect the surrounding environment, even the probability of spirit energy deviation was several times or even dozens of times higher than that of the low-level superhumans.

  In other words, the Heaven Realm experts would face all kinds of restrictions and pay a heavy price if they wanted to output 100% of their power.

  In addition, in Dragon City, the experts who could cultivate to the Heaven Realm were mostly the experts of the older generation above the age of fifty or sixty.

  They had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the bloody era when mankind was still ignorant about the cultivation of spirit energy and the science of life. Many people’s cultivation methods were extremely unscientific, and it was just a coincidence, it was by accident that they had reached their current level.

  Although their level was high, their bodies were full of hidden injuries and hidden dangers. More or less, they all had the same troubles as Lei Zongchao, the Battle God. They had to take care of themselves at all times and must not attack recklessly.

  Otherwise, they would either be mentally deranged or burn themselves or even explode and die.

  In short, deities were equivalent to nuclear weapons. They were rarely used in conventional wars.

  In the “unconventional war,” which was the final battle that had just passed, more than twenty Deity Realm experts had been heavily injured again in the fierce battle with the mother. Their strength had plummeted. It was unknown whether they would be able to return to their pre-battle state.

  There were no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys were kings.

  In this delicate “window period,” peak Heaven Realm experts could be considered the mainstay of a force and had a lot of say.

  Luo Wu, the “Soul Breaking Saber” whom Meng Chao used to admire, was a peak Heaven Realm warrior.

  In the past ten years, he had participated in more battles than many Heaven Realm experts. He had a very high exposure rate in the major media, and was known as a ruthless person by all women and children in Dragon City.

  If Meng Chao could also reach Luo Wu’s realm, then……

  He would be one step closer to the core level of the circle of superhumans.

  In a place far away from Dragon City, far away from mountains and rivers, there was a great chance of being able to take charge alone. They would gather a large amount of resources, attack a particular Other World civilization alone, and stretch out their will to their heart’s content.

  With this as their goal, Meng Chao cultivated crazily in the monster’s lair.

  In addition to him, there were also thousands of elites selected by various forces and sent here to cultivate.

  No matter how intense the storm in the outside world was, or how turbulent the undercurrents were, they had no distractions. They only wanted to seize every second, digest and absorb the legacy of the monster civilization, and become a little stronger before the arrival of an even more vast and cruel war.

  However, as more and more superhumans came into contact with the legacy of the monster and the information of the ancient era.

  The progress of the human excavation in the mother’s corpse, monster lair, and Ruins No. 2 was also growing deeper.

  However, a series of strange things happened in the depths of the monster lair.

  First, a series of stimulating experiments were conducted on the giant brain by the human race.

  Many researchers and superhumans who were training in the monsters’ lair had weird and unpredictable nightmares in the dead of night.

  In the dreams, they were like Meng Chao who had read the information of the ancient era. They turned into hideous monsters during the war of the ancient era.

  Moreover, as monsters, they were killed a hundred times by the Ancients’ spirit weapons and reborn a hundred times.

  He had been torn apart, corroded, burned, frozen, accelerated the depletion of his cells, and transferred into the bodies of rocks, the deep sea, and other monsters.

  All the weird deaths were excruciatingly painful.

  It should be noted that not every researcher and superhuman was like Meng Chao, who had been bathed in the raging flames of the apocalypse and gained the ability to burn as if nothing had happened.

  Not everyone was like him, who had the Kindling and the contribution points system. They could use the contribution points to accelerate cell division and proliferation, and repair the damaged cerebral cortex and nervous system.

  Meng Chao regarded the memory fragments from the ancient war era as a godsent spirit nourishment and a shortcut to improve his combat strength.

  As an ancient beast, he rapidly increased his experience points in the magnificent epic war—this was the only method that belonged to him.

  The others were not as lucky as him, especially those descendants of wealthy families who relied on their family background to grind their brains and squeeze into the monster’s lair to cultivate.

  Not forgetting, those who had outstanding performances in the “tailwind battle” over the past half year but had not experienced the arduous test of a bloody battle as well. Their willpower and mental strength were questionable.

  The scene of the ancient war was a real nightmare for them.
