Chapter 1542: Chapter 1539: Emperor Zhuanxu

Li Chen saw that his threat was effective, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he held up two fingers in front of the Fire Phoenix, swaying them slightly, and leisurely said, "Now, I give you two choices. Either submit, or die, it’s up to you!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s blatant threat, the Fire Phoenix felt indignant.

Just as it hesitated, Li Chen signaled to Taotie and Red Tiger.

Taotie and Red Tiger understood and immediately surrounded it menacingly.

Especially Taotie, with its fierce and violent demeanor, anyone who saw it wouldn’t doubt its willingness to pounce directly.

Under Li Chen’s oppressive might, the Fire Phoenix finally chose to submit and obediently accepted him as its master.

After subduing the Fire Phoenix, Li Chen, under its guidance, transported all the Fire Attribute Spirit Ore within the volcano.

After handling everything and preparing to leave, Li Chen suddenly discovered that there was a Fire Attribute Formation Stone here.

The so-called Formation Stone is a divine stone specifically used to construct arrays, serving as the Formation Eye.

Generally, it is chosen as the core crystal of the entire vein.

Li Chen picked up the Formation Stone and studied it carefully for a moment, surprisingly finding that it was a crystal stone meticulously carved by someone.

Moreover, it seemed that this Formation Stone was merely a part of the entire array, not the real center, but rather a sub-center.

In terms of arrays, a single array has only one central eye.

While those complex compound arrays, apart from one central eye, have multiple sub-centers, resembling regional centers.

The relationship between the central and sub-centers is like that between the capital and provincial capitals.

Li Chen used Insight Divine Skills to look through this Fire Element Formation Stone, hoping to find a clue.

However, it was sealed with very powerful laws.

Even Li Chen, for the moment, couldn’t comprehend its mysteries.

He rubbed his eyes, shifted his gaze from the Formation Crystal, and casually asked the Fire Phoenix:

"Fire Phoenix, was it Emperor Yu who suppressed you here?"

Before Li Chen’s words could fall, the Fire Phoenix disdainfully said, "Hah, with Emperor Yu’s meager abilities, how could he possibly suppress me here!"

Upon hearing the Fire Phoenix’s answer, Li Chen’s eyes lit up, impatiently pressing: "Then who suppressed you in this place?"

The Fire Phoenix paused for a moment, enunciating word by word: "It was Emperor Zhuanxu!"

When uttering "Emperor Zhuanxu," the Fire Phoenix’s body noticeably trembled, and its fiery pupils instantaneously turned dim, replaced by unprecedented fear.

More frightening than when Red Tiger and Taotie tried to rush up just moments ago.

This was fear from the bones!

Upon suddenly hearing the name Zhuanxu, Li Chen couldn’t help but be startled.

He had dealt with Zhuanxu in his previous life; this person had long entered the Tribulation Crossing Realm, why would he come to Mars?

While Li Chen pondered endlessly, the Fire Phoenix continued, "Not only me, but also the Earth Bear, Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon, Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast, and Ju Mang, all were captured and suppressed in five different places by him!"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "When did this happen, and why did Zhuanxu capture you all?"

The Fire Phoenix shook its head and replied, "It’s been a long time; I can’t remember clearly anymore. As for the reason for capturing us, I’m not sure. It seems he wanted to construct an incredibly powerful Restriction Array!"

What the Fire Phoenix said coincided with Li Chen’s speculation.

Fire Phoenix, Earth Bear, Azure Water Divine Flood Dragon, Four-cornered Golden Swallowing Beast, and Ju Mang, these Five Great Divine Beasts, corresponded to the basic elements of fire, earth, water, gold, and wood in the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Using these Five Great Divine Beasts, it’s easy to construct an immensely powerful Restriction Array.

What confused Li Chen was why Emperor Zhuanxu wanted to construct such a powerful array, and who was the enemy he sought to confront?

Li Chen racked his brains but couldn’t make sense of it.

Simply put, he stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, he had an idea.

That was to recruit all these Five Great Divine Beasts under his command.

According to Li Chen’s past life experience, this Formation Stone had existed for at least a hundred thousand years.

Moreover, during these hundred thousand years, no one had ever maintained these Formation Stones.

Although the array constructed by Emperor Zhuanxu was incredibly powerful, it had been over a hundred thousand years, and its condition had become woeful, losing its intended function.

No matter for what purpose Zhuanxu constructed this Restriction Array, Li Chen intended to reconstruct a new array on the original foundation to resist the Dinosaur Clan and God Monarch Yunlong’s invasion.

Having made up his mind, Li Chen didn’t hesitate, received the Fire Phoenix and the Formation Stone, and promptly left the place.

At this moment, Vermilion Bird, Moo Xi, and Nasha, along with the Nami sisters, were still waiting on Mars.

As for the Mayan Star people, since making their agreement with Li Chen, they were genuinely considering settling on Mars.

They planned to construct a space city on the edge of Mars every twenty-five thousand miles.

One city would be the main city, about twenty thousand square kilometers, with two auxiliary cities, each about eight thousand square kilometers.

These three space cities were planned as a century-long project, with completion estimated to take one hundred and fifty years.

Upon hearing Hei Bulun’s plan, Li Chen couldn’t help but chuckle secretly.

According to his estimate, as soon as ten years, or at most fifty years, God Monarch Yunlong of the Red Sun Star Domain and the Dinosaur Clan of the Cretaceous Star Domain would invade the Solar System in full force, leaving no chance for them to have one hundred and fifty years.

However, Li Chen didn’t reveal this to Hei Bulun and the others; instead, he patted his chest and assured them, should they need any help while building the space city, they could ask openly. As long as Li Chen could manage, Earth wouldn’t hold back on resources.

The immediate priority now is to stabilize these Mayan Star people. Otherwise, if they learned that the Solar System was facing an impending doom, they would surely leave.

The technological level of these Mayan Star people was at least three hundred years ahead of Earth’s humanity.

Before acquiring their scientific technologies, there’s no way to let them leave the Solar System.

Including Hei Bulun, all Mayan Star people were grateful upon hearing Li Chen’s earnest promise.

If they had known Earth’s humanity was so kind, they wouldn’t have planned to implement the strategic plan of invading Earth initially.

Now it’s a mess; they haven’t even invaded, yet their side is in total defeat. Only less than ten thousand of them remain, eking out a living like homeless dogs. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

After soothing the Mayan Star people, Li Chen temporarily appointed Moo Xi and Vermilion Bird to liaise with them.

At the same time, he arranged for a group to stay on Mars to learn as much as possible about the Mayan Star people’s advanced technology.

To show goodwill and sincerity to Li Chen, the Mayan Star people donated two intact interstellar warships and twenty that suffered varying degrees of damage to Earth’s humanity.

Moreover, they sent some Mayan Star people to Earth for free technical guidance.

Of course, Hei Bulun and others weren’t fools; they naturally knew Li Chen’s good intention to keep them on Mars was to covet their high technology.

But they didn’t mind it much.

After all, Li Chen alone could wipe out their severely defeated fleet.

Thus, whether Earth’s humanity mastered Mayan technology made no difference to the Mayan Star people. It was better to offer a favor to Li Chen and Earth, expressing their goodwill.

Li Chen saw the Mayan Star people were unexpectedly this perceptive, and he nodded in satisfaction.

After arranging everything, he planned to leave Mars.

However, he didn’t return to Earth.

Instead, he headed to Jupiter, the closest to Mars.

If he’s correct, then the Divine Beast Ju Mang was suppressed by Emperor Zhuanxu on this Jupiter...
