You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 509 - 241: Don’t Worry, I’m Terrified of Dying
West Xiang, Five Peaks Mountain.
A large number of construction teams are carrying out ’post-disaster’ reconstruction work here. The great battle between two mighty gods was no less destructive than a natural disaster.
When Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yunxi arrived, what they saw was an apocalyptic scene.
Mountains toppled, rivers rerouted, each inch of land seemed like it had been turned over, the vegetation was all reduced to ash, the ground was charred black, a sight of utter devastation, unbearable to look at.
"The Godslayer Battle was truly intense."
Ye Qingzhou marveled at the destruction caused by the battle in his heart.
"Divine Wars are indeed terrifying. Fortunately, back then, General Wang Yin made a decisive call to order an evacuation. Otherwise, the entire Southwest Military Region would have suffered heavy casualties."
Xu Yunxi still felt a bit frightened when recalling those times.
One must know that the ones stationed at Five Peaks Mountain then included her and her mother, Xu Wanqing.
The battle between Martial Gods could shake the Power of Dao with a mere gesture, and even the aftermath of their attacks often carried the impact of Dao Essence, which could shatter one’s body and even Divine Spirit.
Even Martial Saints, if caught in the crossfire, faced life-threatening danger, not to mention Grandmaster Level and Master Level martial artists who, if touched by the aftermath, were headed for certain death.
Therefore, Wang Yin’s evacuation order was timely, successfully preventing unnecessary casualties.
Now, with the Void Sun Rat dead and the elite warriors of the six tribes, Juru, Manman, Nesting Bird, Ear Rat, and Nuo, nearly wiped out, it is the best time for Dongji Kingdom to reclaim Jiuli Grotto Heaven on behalf of the Human Race.
The Mao Race established the Second Celestial Court in the past, learning the technique of crafting grotto heavens from the Feather Race, thus creating 365 grotto heavens, arranging the Array of All Heaven Stars.
Unfortunately, more than half of the grotto heavens were destroyed in the ultimate battle, and it was Yin Emperor Nuwa who refined stones to mend the heavens, repairing the damaged Celestial Vein and patching the gaps in the Array of All Heaven Stars.
Afterwards, the Human Race rose, and successive Emperor Monarchs would have their corpses transformed into grotto heavens after death, establishing shelters to preserve the cultural seeds of Blue Star.
Jiuli Grotto Heaven was where War Emperor Chiyou’s body transformed after the Battle of Zhulu, originally a refuge for the Jiuli Race. However, it was forcibly occupied by the Mao Race forces led by the Void Sun Rat along with Juru, Manman, Nesting Bird, Ear Rat, and Nuo.
The displaced Jiuli people were forced to leave, with some members of the tribes living and thriving between Jianghuai, Jianghan, and Dongting Lake, forming the Sanmiao tribal group.
Now, the Sanmiao have long been integrated into the Dongji Kingdom family, thus the Dongji Kingdom can rightfully reclaim the lost territories under the guise of ’since ancient times.’
A large number of supplies are transported to Five Peaks Mountain via roads and railways, with experts from the Martial Arts Association and the military being fully mobilized.
Over three thousand people participated in this operation, the lowest of which are Professional Level Martial Artists. Moreover, this is a rare group operation with an impressive scale of mobilization.
"No one from the Martial Arts Family?"
Ye Qingzhou looked around and saw a few familiar faces, such as Qii Shaoming, the civilian Martial Arts Master who once stationed at Five Peaks Mountain with him, and ’Flame Spear’ Li Yanwen, who is among the world’s ’top 500.’
But these martial arts powerhouses all hail from civilian backgrounds, having grown under official support.
There were no Master Level experts from the Martial Arts Families present.
In contrast, the Martial Arts Families had sent nearly a hundred of their Professional Level martial artists like Xu Yunxi, likely just to gain experience.
Only those at Master Level and above could participate in decision-making, basically sharing the spoils.
It’s clear the authorities purposely left the benefits for civilian martial artists to further support top talent from civilian backgrounds, balancing the increasingly uncontrollable power of the Martial Arts Families.
Xu Yunxi smiled and said, "Our Martial Arts Family, which is close to the authorities, are considered well-off. Rigid groups like the Junshan Association can’t even gain experience."
"By the way, who is leading this time, Zhao Zhiyi or Wang Yin?"
"Neither."
"Hmm?"
Ye Qingzhou was surprised: "Besides those two, who else has the qualifications to command everyone?"
Xu Yunxi raised her eyebrows and teased, "Though the enemy’s elite warriors are almost annihilated, our Dongji Kingdom always plans for contingencies, so this time, the team leader is a potent force with Martial Saint-level strength. Moreover, he is a native from our Xiang Province, highly reputable and capable of commanding respect."
"I’m getting more curious by the moment, who exactly is it?"
"You actually know this person."
"I know?"
While Ye Qingzhou was pondering, a figure descended from the sky.
The newcomer was graceful, with a friendly gaze, dressed in a white research coat, and standing on a disc-shaped flying device.
"Yo, Ye Qingzhou."
Gu Minghui raised his hand to greet.
"Dr. Gu?"
Ye Qingzhou was genuinely surprised this time. After a moment of thought, he immediately understood that the Martial Saint strong person Xu Yunxi mentioned earlier must refer to this "four-eyes" in the white coat before him.
"What, are you surprised?"
Gu Minghui habitually adjusted the glasses on his nose, his mouth carrying a warm smile.
He looks very young, barely a few years older than Ye Qingzhou in appearance, and indeed is young, yet his capability is not weak at all.
"Dr. Gu, aren’t you a researcher at the Celestial Secret Research Institute?"
Ye Qingzhou couldn’t fathom why the military agreed to let a white coat focused on research direct the battle, more so than the Martial Arts Association.
