Chapter 1138: Shocking News
Seeing that Professor Qiao was dissatisfied with the gift, Liberty Vine Man's face changed, realizing it was not good news for them.
"It's okay if you're not satisfied with this gift; we can still find other gifts."
"As long as you... and the Truth Society, are willing to help us deal with the Black Night Knights, we will find a way to send more gifts."
The people behind Liberty Vine Man kept nodding; they thought the same.
These people were all resentful of the Black Night Knights, hence forming an Anti-Black Night Knight Alliance.
But they didn't have the ability to wrestle with the Black Night Knights, so they hid in Nuiz City, relying on daydreaming about defeating the Black Night Knights to get by.
Then one day, a mysterious person in a robe found them, and after that, they joined forces with the Truth Society.
Professor Qiao extended his hand, stopping Liberty Vine Man from continuing: "Don't worry, since I've already agreed to help you, I won't break my word."
Liberty Vine Man heaved a sigh of relief, but then Professor Qiao changed his tone: "But since you're insistent on giving me gifts, I won't refuse; remember, I want forbidden knowledge I haven't mastered, don't think of fooling me with trivial things."
"Rest assured, we'll do our best to find it," Liberty Vine Man agreed, his expression looking as if he had eaten something unpleasant.
Professor Qiao coughed twice and loudly said to everyone, "Silence, please, as I deliver the divine message."
Everyone looked at Professor Qiao; they gathered here today to hear the oracle.
Wen Wen raised an eyebrow; he also wanted to hear the divine message.
So, he quietly took out the Black Night Knight's miniature camera, ready to record the scene before him.
After all, this was important information and might bring him some benefits from the Black Night Knights; even a little scrap from them would be delicious for the small and modest Foundation.
Professor Qiao, full of expression, said to the crowd: "The divine says that one of the Earth's barriers has disappeared, and the others will vanish soon. The Earth will then be embraced by the Inner World."
Wen Wen rubbed his nose, feeling that this matter seemed to be related to him.
"Rejoice, everyone, our era has arrived!"
"For many years, we've hidden from the Hunter Association like rats, but from today on, our ways must change."
"The great heavenly gods under the All-Seeing Eye, the Arcane God Nehwal, are very interested in this world. Other overlords' heavenly gods also have plans for this world."
"According to the rules, when this world falls to the Inner World, sovereignty belongs to the power in control at the time, and there will be a long period of protection for this world."
"So under the current situation, it should still be the Hunter Association in power. If there isn't a justifiable reason, even the heavenly gods can't go too far."
Wen Wen narrowed his eyes; he initially intended to listen for amusement but ended up obtaining incredible information.
He had always wondered what the real world would become if the Inner World completely invaded it.
Now Professor Qiao gave him the answer: the purpose of the Inner World invading reality is to make the real world a part of the Inner World!
No wonder there are many worlds with the same language in the time-space silhouette and legends of extraterrestrial beings abound.
Those worlds must be ones invaded by the Inner World. It seems being completely invaded by the Inner World doesn't necessarily spell doom; the future depends entirely on its state when invasion is completed.
Moreover, according to Professor Qiao, this day won't be too late in coming, so now Wen Wen's task is to stabilize the Hunter Association's regime. At least that way, the real world's residents won't be too harmed.
"The esteemed Nehwal finds this inappropriate; he wants the Hunter Association gone before then, so he can visit this world first-hand."
"But we alone, the Truth Society, lack the capability to shake the Hunter Association, so we're planning to unite with other forces to overthrow the Hunter Association together!"
"None of us has the power to rule this world, but at least by then, we want to turn the Hunter Association into a no man's land!"
After Professor Qiao finished speaking, everyone present cheered. They dreamed of the day they could overthrow the Hunter Association's rule, and now it seemed that day was near.
Wen Wen looked at the cheering below and felt something was off.
Why are so many heavenly gods so interested in the real world? If Wen Wen's guess is right, there should be countless worlds swallowed by the Inner World, so the real world shouldn't be that special.
What's different here... why do the heavenly gods want to come here first?
"Sanctuary!"
"Their target might be the Sanctuary!"
Wen Wen's pupils shrank; this was just a conjecture, but it alone made his hair stand on end.
He lost the mood to watch the cheering below, put away the miniature camera, and jumped down from the ceiling, first taking the unconscious Delia into the Sanctuary.
"Ha, you bunch of misfits, still thinking about overthrowing the Hunter Association, your talk is bigger than my foot odor."
"Who's there!"
Professor Qiao broke into a cold sweat; this was the Meijia Sanctuary, how could an outsider have gotten in?
"How did you get in?"
Wen Wen thought for a moment and then told him the truth: "Even I don't know how I got here, but I do know how you'll be gone."
"Eishishonmohileidi!"
After a spell, a glint flashed in Professor Qiao's eyes.
This was a scouting spell, but when cast upon Wen Wen, it only revealed a blurry black cross and nothing else.
Unable to determine Wen Wen's strength, he dared not act rashly, saying to the people around him: "He overheard the divine message, don't let him leave here alive!"
Liberty Vine Man was eager to show his loyalty to Professor Qiao, and immediately brightened up, summoning countless poisonous vines from the ground to pounce on Wen Wen from every corner.
This time, he didn't intend to hold back, so these vines would try to burrow into Wen Wen's body and shred his internal organs.
The Upper Sequence, inheriting the legacy of the Oceanic Ice-Fire People, also attacked simultaneously, firing two guns of different colors at Wen Wen: one unleashed a powerful freezing ray, and the other a scorching red high-temperature ray.
The weapons were powerful enough on their own, and the combination of extreme cold and heat greatly enhanced the attack.
The Six-faced Man's wife threw the dice in her hand, the angel side facing up, revealing an angelic phantom that transformed into a beam of light aiming at Wen Wen.
But Wen Wen remained calm; these guys were not yet capable of threatening him.
The Blood River Sword suddenly appeared behind Wen Wen, spinning rapidly and slashing, slicing all the vines into pieces, while blocking both the extreme cold and heat rays as well as the beam of light.
