Chapter 788: A Battle of Endurance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Truth Department Headquarters.

Ren Ruofeng hummed a tune as he returned to his office, completely ignoring the strange gazes his colleagues were casting him.

His daughter had not only grown up so fast, she had even made some good friends.

The Whitestone people that planted the herbs were honest folk, so he did not have to worry about them being wicked.

Chong Daqing and the old ginseng are quite cute too, not to mention the Zhao family that lived there help her with homework a lot too. In conclusion, living in the Draconic Arcane Realm did not mean that she would not be able to socialize with other humans, thus causing her to closed off socially.

From the looks of things, there really was nothing he needed to worry about in the future.

The Draconic Arcane Realm was probably the safest place on Earth, no, in the entire universe.

Right as he sat down in his office chair, Administrative Secretary Liu came knocking on his door.

“Advisor, Director Hu has called for an emergency meeting. It’ll be held in 5 minutes, at the large conference room.”

“Oh, I’ll be right there.” Ren Ruofeng glanced at the time; it was five in the afternoon, almost time to get off work.

Previously, he had gone to see his daughter because he was on a business trip. After leaving the Land of Sanguinity, he had gone to see Chong Daqing and had begged the insect to bring him into the Draconic Arcane Realm.

He oversaw all the information the Truth Department received, so he naturally knew that Chong Daqing had an ability like that.

However, he never expected that he would have to stay late at work upon returning. It seemed that he indeed needed to return the time he used to take a break...

He packed up his materials, picked up a notebook before proceeding towards the large conference room on the same floor.

Once he entered upon pushing the door, he was faced with a group of old men that were seated waiting for him.

“Hey, Oldman Ren, are you enjoying the spring breeze? Why do you look so happy?” joked Principal Xu.

Ren Ruofeng restrained himself before he brushed it off, “It’s nothing. My work has been progressing well recently, so of course I would be happy.”

“Oh, is that so? From your expression, it seems like someone’s welcomed a new baby in their house...” said Hong Yunjiao coldly.

‘Ugh, how does this old hag always make such accurate guesses?’

Ren Ruofeng felt a headache coming on, so he could only ignore her before sitting down on his seat.

“Okay, since everyone’s arrived, I’ll start the meeting earlier.” Director Hu was seated at the head of the table. He was a stubborn old man, and he spoke with a few knocks on the table.

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent.

“The current situation has undergone changes. The Gods and Buddhas of the Upper Realm are starting to descend. The chaos of the past two years seem to really be just small-scale skirmishes. Everyone, please look towards the big screen.”

As Director Hu spoke, he pointed a finger at the big screen opposite him. An image of Vigilante A fighting Golden Armored Deity immediately appeared on the screen.

A clerk that was seated at the side of the room had already begun taking meeting minutes.

“The Golden Armored Deity’s attack pattern is extremely formidable. According to Nets Above Snares Below’s post-battle analysis, Golden Armored Deity’s Power Level is already at the limit of this world, so it means that they can defeat all our current defenses; even our formations and treasures... Can’t stop them,” said Director Hu solemnly.

Ren Ruofeng nodded his head. ‘It’s no wonder this old fart wanted to call this meeting, the current situation now is extremely dangerous.’

They had long expected something like this, which was why they proposed then heavily focused on the Tripartite Defense of the Heavens, the Earth, and the Humans.

However, the truth was that this defense plan of theirs that was implemented early was still too weak when faced with a real enemy.

Fortunately, they still had a tall guy sustaining things...

Director Hu continued speaking.

“The Golden Armored Deity converts light into attacks; these attacks are extremely fast, accurate, and deadly, with no weaknesses to exploit as well. Furthermore, these attacks can attack groups or go against a single target. As expected of a divine-level being. A regular person might only see that the Golden Armored Deity was subdued by the Venerable Dragon God using a single move, but that person would never realize that if Venerable Dragon God were swapped out for someone else, that person would be long dead.

“I have to admit that our Truth Department does not possess any power that is able to go against the Golden Armored Deity. I doubt anyone else on this planet other than Vigilante A would be able to compete with the Golden Armored Deity either.

“It was no wonder he had the confidence to come up with rules for us!” concluded Director Hu.

Then, a voice could be heard from the big screen.

“There are new rules in this realm. There’s must be a clear distinction between all high and low statuses, and all civilians and immortals are not to be mixed together...”

The Golden Armored Deity’s voice was being replayed.

It was obvious that Truth Department’s Nets Above Snares Below was quite exceptional since it could intercept and capture the Golden Armored Deity’s voice.

However, one could also say that the other party had purposely allowed them to record this so that it could be used to deter all humans on this planet.

“This Sky Deity’s way of executing their actions is very different from all of the previous Sky Deities. Both Bodhisattva Spirit King and River God of the Sky River chose to integrate themselves into Earth. They tried their best to adapt to the habits of the human race and never insisted on changing the rules of our world. They merely focused on establishing ways to practice Buddhism or Taoism, and even allowed the people a choice. And yet, this newly-arrived one is very unyielding. They keep imposing the rules of feudal times onto us, going on about laws between superiors and subordinates, so that it’ll be easier for them to rule over us,” said Director Hu with resentment in his tone.

Although he knew that he was at the helm of things and he should be controlling his emotions, he still could not keep it from showing.

At his age, he had already experienced China’s dark ages, so he knew that today’s civilization did not come by easily. Countless martyrs had to be sacrificed and an endless flow of blood and tears had to be shed.

During the dawn of the Era of Vitality, they were extremely careful and had diligently laid out plans which allowed things to stabilize.

However, this Golden Armored Deity wanted to reverse history and rewrite the rules upon their arrival, so how could he not get angry?

Ren Ruofeng shook his head as he replied, “Don’t get angry, Director. This is quite normal. The ancient sages once said that the feudal ages were most fitting for humans, so naturally the Gods would like it too. Who doesn’t want to stand high above the masses and depend on nothing more than strength to rule their subordinates? Since they hold so much power, it would be natural for them to want special privileges, to want to have the privilege to distribute resources, to have everyone listen to them.”

“But I will never let them get what they want!” exclaimed Director Hu.

“That’s easier said than done. With the power we have now, we’re far from being on par with them. There are some arguments on the Internet that make quite a lot of sense. It’s time for us to spread out our power and influence gradually and prepare for a battle of endurance,” said Ren Ruofeng seriously.

“Tell me your opinions. You were out on a trip these past few days, you should have made some preparations, no?” asked Director Hu.

“You still know me best, Director. You’re right, I did make some preparations,” replied Ren Ruofeng with a nod of his head.

Then, he reached a finger out and an image appeared in the conference room.

This spell that could produce images was far more better than any technology since it could directly display the memories of the caster as a three-dimensional image.

This was a feat that modern technology was far from achieving.

Principal Xu, Elder Hai, Hong Yunjiao, Qiao Anping... And the rest simultaneously looked towards the image.

The most obvious thing they could see within the image was a river that was crisscrossed.

“Hey, isn’t this the Land of Sanguinity that I went to not too long ago?” exclaimed Qiao Anping in recognition.

“That’s right, this is that very place. I’ve read the report you sent to me previously. The nature of that arcane realm is different from our Land of Heritage. It leads to various places in the universe, so that place is our last hope of survival,” said Ren Ruofeng earnestly.

“I see, I understand now. You want to use that arcane realm to conduct a secret emigration plan so that we can establish sub-bases on other planets...” said Director Hu with a nod of the head.

“Precisely. However, this plan is too large, and there are a lot of pre-technicalities that yet to be figured out. Firstly, the immigration target must be determined, preferably some place far away enough from Earth that would not allow the Gods and Buddhas to discover us so easily. Furthermore, that place must also have an environment similar to earth so that terraforming is easy...” said Ren Ruofeng in distress.

“In any case, since we have a way out now, we should start executing it steadily. The Biosphere Plan is currently underway, perfectly in-line with this plan of ours, so I’ll send an application to the higher-ups immediately.” Director Hu quickly decided.

He knew clearly that human beings were extremely weak against these holy Gods and Buddhas. The only way for them to achieve the final victory would be if they had prepared a way to retreat in advance.

As for the fugitives making the so-called escape, they would not be cowards but new pioneers.

The survival rate of these fugitives might even be much smaller than the ones on Earth.

The ones left behind on Earth would be able to guarantee their success if they willingly became slaves. However, the fugitives would have to overcome countless difficulties in order to survive.
