1840 An Ordinary Person’s Advantage

“Perhaps, Master Lei’s body has something to do with it…”

Meng Chao himself did not find this a valid excuse.

In the half year before he left Dragon City, he had received step-by-step guidance from Battle God Lei Zongchao, and he knew the Battle God’s physical condition better than anyone else.

Although Lei Zongchao was no longer as strong as before and could not even move around under strong ultraviolet rays for a long time, he was still incredibly strong.

His mind had not been seriously affected either. Most of the time, he could still mobilize his brain cells, which were a hundred times more powerful than that of an ordinary person. He could absorb, integrate, and analyze massive amounts of information regarding all aspects of Dragon City.

The insights he gained from this had been extremely useful even for Meng Chao, who had returned from the apocalypse and had visions of the future.

Perhaps, Lei Zongchao had lost the absolute power to suppress all the other Deity Realm warriors…

However, simply stepping forward, raising his arms, and shouting while tearing apart the darkness and clearing away all the evil was completely within his ability.

“I’m even more curious now.”

Lu Siya continued her analysis. “It’s perfectly normal for the New Blood Alliance to just be a few useless soldiers who daydream and cause trouble. It’s not surprising that Battle God Lei Zongchao never noticed them.

“But judging from the current situation, the New Blood Alliance has at least involved Lu Zhongqi and Yun Feidian, the two Deity Realm experts who were in charge of mega corporations, and dozens of important figures from the nine cultivation families. They have been active in secret for at least ten years.

“I don’t quite believe that the New Blood Alliance has managed to operate so flawlessly and silently that no traces have been left behind.

“At least, in the process of dragging this martial arts grandmaster from the Youth Gymnastics Editorial Review Committee into the water, the New Blood Alliance has left a trace.

“With how sharp and powerful Battle God Lei Zongchao is, has he really not noticed that the bloody vortex at Dragon City’s core has grown terrifying tentacles again in the past ten years?

“Note that Lei Zongchao was the ‘strongest test subject’ trained by the Blood Alliance. He should be more cognizant of the undying evil organization than anyone else!”

“What are you trying to say?”

Meng Chao frowned deeply and could not help but say, “Are you trying to hint that Master Lei is the biggest mastermind behind the New Blood Alliance?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I mean.”

Lu Siya shook her head and said, “It goes back to the same thing. If Battle God Lei Zongchao really had any intention of advancing Dragon City’s civilization according to his will, then he wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble to form the New Blood Alliance.

“He would establish a mega corporation that completely belonged to him, then form a huge family based on his bloodline, and then marry into other families to form an unbreakable community of interests. In the end, he would become Dragon City’s supreme mouthpiece. He might even become its one and only eternal leader with his invincible strength, high prestige, and special circumstances during the war. I think that wouldn’t be impossible.

“The advantage of such an operation is that everything could be carried out in broad daylight. Even if he fails to become the eternal supreme leader, he could settle for the next best thing. The companies and families that are as wealthy as a country would always belong to him legally.

“So, is it necessary for him to give up the easy path for a difficult, narrow path that’s likely to ruin his reputation and quietly doom him?”

Lu Siya’s words struck a chord in Meng Chao’s heart.

Decades ago, Battle God Lei Zongchao had given up all his power and lived in seclusion in the Supernatural Tower and Battle God Palace for the rest of his life.

In that case, how could the problems with the gymnastics exercises and the Blood Alliance be explained?

Meng Chao did not believe that Lei Zongchao had not noticed the problem since even he himself had caught wind of it.

However, he also did not believe that there was even a 1% chance that Lei Zongchao would be corrupted, roped in, or threatened by the various interest groups.

No, Master Lei was definitely not that kind of person.

Master Lei would always walk on the right path without looking back. No matter what kind of entanglement or obstacles he encountered, Master Lei would calmly crush them.

“It appears that only Battle God Lei Zongchao can resolve these unsolved mysteries.”

Lu Siya sighed and looked at Meng Chao with bright eyes. “Shall we go deep into the ancient ruins and look for the Battle God?”

“Are you kidding me?” Meng Chao blurted out. Please visit 𝒇re𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵeƖ c𝗼𝑚

“Your spirit meridians are exhausted. You’re just a normal person now!”

“So what if I’m an ordinary person?

“As far as I know, the ancient ruins are mysterious and unpredictable. The laws of physics and spirit energy deep within the many rifts are different from those in the outside world. It’s not true that a higher combat level entails a higher chance of survival. In many cases, it’s purely a matter of luck. It’s even true that in certain rifts, the higher your level is, the more dangerous it is for you. Only an ordinary person can retreat safely!”

This was true.

There was a theory in the Ancient Ruins Research Center: When intelligent carbon-based life forms entered the depths of the ruins for exploration, they were akin to travelers holding torches, traveling alone in the dark and dangerous wilderness.

The higher one’s realm was, the stronger one’s combat power was, and that was equivalent to a bright burning torch.

Of course, a burning torch could light up the surrounding terrain, allowing people to sense danger in advance. It could even be used to scare off and burn wild beasts that were ready to pounce on them.

However, the overly bright flames could also attract the horrifying existences that were a hundred times more terrifying than ordinary wild beasts lurking in the darkness.

Once these terrifying creatures that were not afraid of fire were attracted to the continuous shining light, they would approach the travelers.

Travelers would often encounter dangers that were a hundred times worse than beast attacks.

Therefore, when exploring the depths of the ancient ruins, the more powerful the superhumans, the more likely they would hear whispers that resembled the murmurs of demons from the planet’s core. They would be deeply drawn to the Ancient Ruins’ Summon and plunge into the bottomless cracks, or…

They would never return. Even their bones would never be recovered.

If not, after a period of time, they would somehow appear in the ancient ruins’ shallow safety zone, except that they would be in a deformed, ugly, and manic half-human, half-ghost form.

On the other hand, ordinary people who had not awakened their extraordinary powers could escape the ancient ruins as long as they were lucky enough.

Meng Chao did not know if it was because they were too weak and insignificant that the horrific creatures in the depths of the ruins were not interested in them, or…

It was because they were pretty much blind down there and naturally immune to all kinds of terrifying scenes that would overwhelm their senses and mentally scar them.

It was also one of the important reasons why the Blood Alliance had urged a large number of ordinary citizens to explore the ancient ruins.
