Chapter 562 - 563 Electing You as King [1st Update for Subscriptions]
The container opened, and a clear, pleasant voice emerged. "For what purpose, exactly, was I created?"
The voice belonged to the entity created through the combined efforts of Black Eight Horse, Gaia, the entire Hua Sheng Dynasty, and the Underground World. It possessed an authority that could shake one’s very soul.
Gaia’s body trembled, but she forced herself to remain composed. "You should not use that tone with me. Remember, there are two remote controls that can destroy you. The Monarch and I each hold one."
At this moment, Black Eight Horse added, "That’s right. Be civil with us, and we can still be friends."
"Friends? Hah!" Just then, the container opened fully, and the entity within stepped out.
Incredibly, the "thing" that Gaia and Black Eight Horse had been referring to was actually a person. He looked to be no more than twenty years old. But while he appeared human, he was not. He was an Artificial Human.
He was a human created by other humans—not a robot, but a bio-engineered humanoid developed with the Hua Sheng Dynasty’s hyper-advanced technology. The Hua Sheng Dynasty had always been arrogant, and every component within this Artificial Human was extraordinary. He contained the cells of numerous historical figures, including fragments of Einstein’s brain. Parts of the famous scientist’s brain had been stolen long ago, with the government recovering a portion. Now, all of it had been used in this Artificial Human.
His organs were just as exceptional, harvested from powerful warriors of the Underground World: a Dantian Zifu, a diamond stomach, a crystal heart, and rubber meridians. The famous figures were not just from the Hua Sheng Dynasty, nor were the powerful individuals solely from its Underground World. Even the cells of extraterrestrials discovered by the dynasty were incorporated into his being.
The power of the Artificial Human, code-named "Ultimate," was unquestionable. However, not even Black Eight Horse knew the full extent of his abilities. Black Eight Horse only knew that this was the Hua Sheng Dynasty’s final trump card, and indeed, the last resort for all the dynasties. He was the culmination of cells from history’s most famous figures and organs from the strongest warriors of the Underground World.
"Speak," Ultimate asked coldly. "What do you need me to do?"
Black Eight Horse and Gaia exchanged a look before explaining the situation.
"Martial God Wu Tian? A single man is sweeping the globe?" After hearing their story, even Ultimate was stunned.
"Yes," Gaia nodded.
"Aside from you, there is likely no other being alive who can stop him," Black Eight Horse said gravely.
"Heh. Perfect. I was in need of an opponent to test my true strength," Ultimate said, his voice laced with excitement. "He has appeared at just the right time. He will be my whetstone." A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his handsome eyes.
「The entire world was abuzz with talk of Wu Tian’s plan to sweep the globe.」
Wu Tian, however, paid it no mind.
The Dragon Dynasty, having repelled the allied armies, declared the date "Martial God Day." On Martial God Day, every household hung red decorations, creating a festive and joyous atmosphere. The panic that had gripped the Dragon Dynasty during the invasion was gone, replaced by peace and laughter.
Wu Tian was staying at his old home in Yang City, where he received a constant stream of visitors. They were Family Heads, City Lords, high-ranking officials, and wealthy tycoons. Wu Tian’s power had reached a point where people from every corner of the world came to pay their respects. He had become the object of faith for everyone in the Dragon Dynasty. Some places even began building temples in his honor, burning incense and worshipping his image—a level of reverence typically reserved for Immortals, yet Wu Tian had already achieved it.
Over the next few days, Wu Tian received his visitors, occasionally stopping by the Boundless Corporation to lay out long-term development strategies. He also paid a visit to the No Heaven Villa in the Underground World. There, Wu Tian was already the undisputed strongest, and he spent time mentoring Liu Tianji and the others in their cultivation. Their cultivation bases were advancing by leaps and bounds.
One day, Wu Tian had just finished reviewing a document about the Boundless Corporation’s plans for global commercial expansion when his little girl ran into the room, hesitating as if she had something to say.
Seeing her expression, Wu Tian chuckled. "What’s the matter, little one?"
Hearing him call her that, the girl was clearly displeased. She pouted. "Where am I little?"
Wu Tian’s brow twitched. Where are you little? You’re little everywhere! I won’t say it out loud, but surely you realize that yourself?
Wu Tian remained silent.
The little girl huffed, her face full of dissatisfaction. "I’m not a kid anymore! I’m a grown-up, so don’t call me ’little girl’."
"..." Wu Tian was speechless.
After a moment, the girl asked hesitantly, "Dad, I wanted to ask... are you really going to start your sweep of the globe?"
Wu Tian nodded. When he said he would do something, he did it. He had declared he would sweep the globe, so he would sweep the globe without fail. My sword is already drawn. I’d like to see which of the dynasties can stand against me. Besides, once I sweep the globe, then wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers and mountains reach, all shall be Han territory. This must also be a trial from the Ginseng Fruit Tree! I must obtain the legacy of all the gods and buddhas, no matter what.
"Yes, I’m going to sweep the globe," Wu Tian said, his tone turning serious. "But don’t get any ideas. I’m not taking you with me, little girl." War is ruthless. She’s exceptionally talented, but what if she gets hurt?
"What? You’re not taking me with you?" the little girl cried out, unable to accept the fact.
"Don’t cause trouble, or I’ll spank you," Wu Tian said with a stern frown.
"You... you wouldn’t dare!" she stared at him in disbelief.
"I would," Wu Tian said firmly.
The little girl was dumbfounded.
Seeing her adorable, stunned expression, Wu Tian couldn’t help but smile.
Just then, Qin Yuhan came upstairs to his room. "Some important ministers have arrived," she said. "They wish to see you."
Important ministers? What are they here for? Wu Tian knitted his brows, pondering for a moment before saying, "Alright, I’m coming down."
He followed Qin Yuhan downstairs, leaving his little girl sitting on the bed in a daze.
When he arrived in the main hall, he saw that several people were already seated. Among them were two foreigners, Hai’er and the female General. The other important officials were from the Dragon Dynasty—not the old guard, but ministers of the new era who often appeared in the news.
Wu Tian entered the hall, sat down, and got straight to the point. "Why are you here? I don’t recall us having any relationship."
The ministers looked embarrassed, but one of them finally spoke up. "Mr. Wu Tian, we have come because we wish to recommend you as the new Lord of the Four Seas."
"That’s right! As the descendant of the Wise Minister, you are qualified to inherit these vast River and Mountains!"
"Only you can lead our Dragon Dynasty to true greatness!"
They wanted to be the founding ministers of his new reign.
But Wu Tian’s expression turned frigid.
