I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 676 - 160: Fireworks of Sheng Shi, Jubilation of the People

The next morning.

Bone Demon Royal City, the Teleportation Array flickered with light, and a group of oddly dressed elderly people appeared.

"This Royal City, not bad."

"It should be safe now, that's why they dared to invite us here to study the fusion of the Embers of Bone Demon, Money Child, Golden Turtle, and Ancient Bronze Statue together."

"It's no big deal, even if the Dragon Race attacked this city, they wouldn't kill us, because we're neutral professionals of the Sea Race."

"Academics have circles for academics, and combat has circles for combat... we don't interfere with each other, whoever wins, we research for them, whoever invests in us, we follow them."

...

They are all Divine-level Professionals of various kinds of the Sea Race.

These races are naturally blacksmiths and spirit farmers...

In contrast, they match the powerhouses of the Human Race like the Doukou family and the Man Tianxing family.

Xinyi Baisan, Doukou Hong... are all of the same rank as them.

Even during the previous peaceful times, Jiao Wuyu not only went to study at the Human Race Academy, but these old folks often interacted, conducting academic exchanges with the Human Race.

Because in their eyes, academia transcends national borders.

It is precisely because of this group that the Sea Race's academic circle can rival that of the Human Race!

Of course.

The academic prowess of the Sea Race is generally a notch below that of the Human Race, with breakthroughs in various top-tier academics often occurring on the Human side.

Even the arrogant Dragon Race does not dare to kill them!

Because hiring is acceptable, but if you kill these old folks, you are breaking the rules, and the entire circle will resist you.

If you kill colleagues who can't even bind a chicken today, tomorrow you'll be killing us.

Therefore.

Even if the Sea Race is destroyed.

This group of academic elites will be respectfully invited to the Human side to be served.

This is the allure of academic professions.

And among these academic professionals, the leader is none other than Xi Rong, the number one in the Nine-State.

"This city is interesting."

At this moment, various academic elites of the Sea Race smiled.

Curiously observing the surrounding streets, they looked at the huge chimney—the Stabilizing Needle, moving creatures up and down like an elevator.

As they wandered around, their senses were greatly delighted.

This city, not bad!

Having been pampered for a long time, they usually detest the lower-level Sea Race cities, which are dirty, messy, and filled with various murky fluids entering their noses and mouths.

But this is a waterless city, where all the lower-class civilians are very clean.

It even gives them a vibrant vitality that even high-tier waterless cities lack... a vitality unique to the lower-class citizens of the Sea Race.

And the streets are lined with various shops, filled with laughter and joy.

"Candied hawthorn, popular candied hawthorn from the Human side."

"Baked cakes, freshly baked Dalang cakes."

"Fish fruit tea, fish milk tea.."

...

These various food and clothing shops of the lower-level Sea Race are uniquely varied, with an explosive amount of choices.

Both sides are planted with flowers, seaweed, corals, breathtakingly beautiful.

The scenery, like a dreamy garden.

The elderly bought a cup of fish milk tea on the street, and upon inquiring with the shop owner—a cowfish—found out that it's a career planner of the Dynasty who tailored this beverage shop for them.

"Interesting."

"So interesting!"

They felt an indescribable delight, an exhilarating sense of joy.

"This Sheng Shi, as I wished." One old man even had blurred vision, "Sorry, sorry, can't hold back... If only such a Sheng Shi existed 8,000 years earlier, my child, my parents, how could they... how could they..."

This is not him being overly emotional.

It's because he rose from the hardships of the slums, experiencing too much pain and despair.

He will never forget the day his child died of hunger, the emaciated child with eyes filled with yearning, hoping to taste what the legendary cooked food was like.

And that day, the child's mother, for the sake of the sick child, ventured to the sea surface to grill food, but the rising smoke was detected by the Bird Demon, and the whole fish was snatched away.

Both his child and wife died on that day.

Even now, as Thunder Hammer Duke, having gone through hardship, he led the entire race to the pinnacle of the world, but he has spent his life striving to rescue the people, unwilling to let the people endure such pain again.

If he dies, the obsession of Embers Awakening would definitely be to create Sheng Shi.

But before him, he has not died, and his lifelong obsession has already been fulfilled, how can he not be moved to tears?

"These are cooked foods everywhere... Seeing those joyful children holding skewers reminds me of my poor child." Said Thunder Hammer Duke, known as Sea Race's greatest Divine Craftsman.

"Humph, Dragon Race! Dragon Race!!" One old man lamented their lack of progress, "With their ability, they could easily accomplish this step, but they simply refuse to show even a bit of compassion."

Another elderly person also empathized, laughed heartily: "Why feel so deeply? This is the Sheng Shi in our eyes, past buried within pain, can bear more future."

This bold old man opened his arms without reservation, as if to embrace the entire street, embrace the entire Sheng Shi,

"This street, this alley, is the kind of prosperity we should see in our eyes... rather than a waterless city full of aristocracy, holding their status, with faces full of arrogance, and wearing luxurious robes."

Here, the crowds instead create a sense of vibrant prosperity.

After all, how could those similar High Tier waterless cities of the past have so many people? They simply did not allow the common folk inside.

In the square, stands a statue of the Bone King donned in a Dragon Robe, exuding majesty.

These few old men, too, went with the tourists to pay their respects.

-2!

-2!

Even Ning Zheng, who was secretly observing in the Imperial Palace, showed a bit of surprise.

These old men, a few of them are actually my Bone King's devout believers?

What a delightful surprise!

Indeed, character setting is very important.

When you serve the masses, naturally, there are endless dream-filled warriors to support you.

When you pave the way for the masses, naturally, there will be a mysterious destiny cast upon you. This destiny is not illusory but rather, those who are enlightened have more assistance, a group of dreamers will gather together.

You pave the way for the masses, and others naturally pave the way for you.

Back then, Emperor Jiushui's charisma was so strong that he received assistance from countless powerhouses, sweeping through the world, with everyone following him, just like this.

Ning Zheng's lips curved slightly upwards, summoning Yan Shuangying, "You can start the welcoming ceremony now, these are the pillars of our nation, talents to oppose the Human Race's Nine-State."

"Alright, Emperor, we're familiar with this," Yan Shuangying replied proudly.

Very soon.

In the sky above the entire city, splendid fireworks slowly rose.

The fireworks formed the names of each of the Professional Cultivators, shining and bursting in the sky, turning into countless meteoric fragments, falling onto every bustling street.

It was as if the entire Sea Race city was filled with the joyful aura of all things.

"What is this?"

"That is the legendary fireworks... even higher tier than cooked food!!"

All the people lifted their heads, staring in awe at the extremely brilliant fireworks.

Cooked food, is the noble cuisine every lower-class Sea Race creature yearns for, but it consumes a great quantity of luxurious air.

And fireworks, exceed cooked food as a beautiful sight in legend, consuming a huge amount of air, just for that brilliant burst of fireworks.

The cooked food, fireworks, are clearly ordinary things every human child can see, yet they are the beautiful fairy tale every Sea Race child longs for.

"Look quickly!!"

Countless people on the streets, holding their children's hands, pointing at the sky and shouting, as if they felt love for the first time in their lives, opening their arms to embrace the beautiful future.

"Fireworks." An old man tilted his head upwards.

"We finally have the capability to bring cooked food and fireworks to our children," an old man laughed heartily.

"Everyone, build the National Guardian Divine Artifact, evolve the Bone Demon Race, and protect this hard-won peace."

After these academic bigwigs paid their respects, they also decisively stood up.

They too have a future filled with excitement and vitality.

They too possess a future with roaring crowds.

"Let's go, we should help this Bone Demon Emperor, and study the matter of fusion."

"Yes, I have a premonition that a brand new Sea Race era will unfold with this city; the Human Race will no longer be an invincible race!"

"Judging from this meticulously managed city filled with details, this is indeed a pure idealist, unafraid of death, not fearing the Dragon Race."

"Hahaha! The Sea Race's prosperity, begins with us."

They strode large steps, entering the Imperial Palace.

Inside the grand hall.

Ning Zheng, too, donned a Dragon Robe, rose to greet them, and smiled: "Everyone, the Embers of the Money Child, the Embers of the Bone Demon, the Embers of the Ancient Bronze Statue, the Embers of the Golden Turtle, are all prepared!"

"We humbly ask each of you esteemed elders to help us, the Bone Demon Race, research a brand-new Fusion Embers Race, to better manage the Sea Race, and secure the nation's Qi Fortune!"

Ning Zheng's attitude was extremely humble and polite.

The leading old man was a Divine Craftsman of the Hammerhead Fish Race, who chuckled: "I am Thunder Hammer Duke, with a family-inherited Electric Spirit Root, forging Divine Weapons for generations, now we will contribute for the Emperor, this is our duty!"

Another elder raised an eyebrow, and said lightly:

"In the past, Jiushui rallied the major professions of the Human Race's Nine-State to forge the Sun Moon, forming the Nine-State Divine Artifact that suppressed the Human Race."

"Today, at this moment, the Emperor calls upon the major professions of our Sea Race to forge a new race for His Majesty, and craft the Divine Artifact to secure our Dynasty's Qi Fortune."

"Indeed." A flash of brilliance passed through Thunder Hammer Duke's eyes, "Even just for the sake of pride, we must not lose to those old men next door, especially for the sake of our Sea Race, even if it means exhausting this old body, we must lay the foundation for a prosperous future!"

In the distance.

Several Bone Demon Lolitas, serving as maids, watched this scene with emotion in their hearts.

Unconsciously.

We have already set foot on the path of flowers under the embrace of public sentiment.

We have already caught up with the past Jiushui, sat on the throne, convened the major professions, gathered in the Imperial Palace, to forge an artifact for a Dynasty.

We have already stood at heights we once could not imagine.

We will become another Jiushui, carrying the baton of the era, as the supreme mythical Emperor, leading the Dynasty, creating the future, and welcoming the Immortal Path prosperity opened by us, Xi Rong.

"Esteemed elders, please join us for the welcoming feast," Ning Zheng said.
