You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 147
Chapter 147: Unrecognizable Even To Their Own Mother
“It’s just an Otherworldly Imp, not even a Ghost General cultivated by those Ghost Cultivators! ”
Daojian Sect, the Seven Sword Immortals said lightly: “My main goal this time was to eliminate the Saintly Radiance Sect Master and leave no future troubles, so I didn’t go to fight him. Otherwise, I could take on ten of his kind! ”
“I’m more curious about where these strong individuals came from, who can stand against that Saintly Radiance Old Man? ”
He Yuntian asked: “I remember that Old Man had a spell, I forgot its name, but its effect was particularly powerful, known as absolute defense in Saintly Radiance. So fast… it was shattered? ”
If the Saintly Radiance Sect Master knew about this, he would definitely curse…
That ghost didn’t practice Martial Virtue! He fought in close combat!
He didn’t let me chant incantations, he didn’t let me use absolute defense!
“I heard Qin’an say that they have studied the Ghost Race. ”
Yin Wanshan said: “Currently, the difference between the Ghost Race Army and the Human Race lies in the fact that the Ghost Race’s Genetically Modified Troops have opened their Gene Locks. In simple terms, it allows them to possess some abilities only attainable through cultivation even without cultivation. ”
Because he considered that although the seven individuals had profound cultivation bases, they were all completely uneducated in the new era, so Su Qin’an paid special attention to his word choice when explaining.
Basically, no professional terminology was used. Even if there was, he would quickly translate it into layman’s terms, for fear that the seven uneducated individuals wouldn’t understand.
“They can have these abilities without cultivation? ”
Mo Dao frowned: “There must be drawbacks, right? Otherwise, all our hard work in cultivation would be a waste! ”
“Unclear, but it should, probably, possibly, perhaps, seemingly… exist? ”
The Seven Sword Immortals said: “When I went there, I observed from a distance. Compared to a normal Great Ascension Realm cultivator, he lacked something. ”
“Lacked what? ”
“Unclear. ”
The Seven Sword Immortals said: “I was too far away from him, about twenty thousand meters, so I couldn’t sense it clearly. If I could get closer, maybe I could figure it out. ”
“Forget about him! ”
Chu Tianlong shouted: “Since he lacks something, then he’s not a true Great Ascension Realm cultivator! Not a true Great Ascension Realm cultivator, he doesn’t have the right to be arrogant in front of us! ”
…
After subduing Uncle Sam, the Thunder Ghost Saint first returned to the Pacific Ocean Floor, then began to perform a ritual.
That’s right, a ritual.
Although the Ghost Race can increase their numbers by killing other races and transforming them into Ghost Race members, after all, the way of heaven is to reduce the excessive and supplement the insufficient… the Ghost Race itself also has irreparable flaws.
They cannot reproduce naturally.
Translated into layman’s terms, that is…
They can’t have children.
Male and female ghosts can engage in certain activities, even some extra activities, but… they just can’t contribute to the Ghost Race’s reproduction.
Of course, some Ghost Race members are more unscrupulous than the Human Race because of this, going bare-chested into battle.
And some Ghost Race members are particularly troubled by this.
But since ordinary Ghost Race members can’t have children, there must be those who can.
Yes, the legendary Ghost Saints.
They are not only powerful, they have the highest degree of Gene Lock opening among all Ghost Race members, possess the innate ability to open their Gene Locks, and hold the highest status within the Ghost Race, but they are also responsible for reproduction… or to be precise, self-reproduction.
In layman’s terms, Ghost Saints don’t need to mate with others; they can give birth to a bunch of children on their own.
That’s right, “Ghost Saints” and not “Ghost Saint”.
How are Ghost Saints produced?
Among the many children left by each Ghost Saint, if any child is outstanding, innately capable of opening their own Gene Lock, with a higher upper limit than a normal Gene Lock, then they can become a new Ghost Saint.
The Thunder Ghost Saint woke up relatively early, but on the altar, there were other Ghost Saints besides him, though they hadn’t awakened yet.
Although having more Ghost Saints would definitely lead to conflicts, ultimately decided by who has stronger fists to determine the top spots, he was more aware that, compared to internal strife, it was more important to quickly restore the Ghost Race to its peak, to become the ninety-seventh strongest race in the universe as it once was.
The other Ghost Saints hadn’t awakened yet, and he couldn’t help. He could only simply try to awaken their consciousness. After finding it useless, he notified the Ministry of Defense to mobilize troops and prepare to take down those European nations that were huddled together for warmth.
An hour later…
“Damn it, why does this broken Cultivation Civilization have so many people who can rival me! ”
The Thunder Ghost Saint sat in the Pacific Ocean Floor in a sorry state, cursing while healing his wounds.
He had already planned to destroy Uncle Sam, then Europe, and finally invade China.
But who knew that a small Europe would explode with five opponents comparable in strength to that Uncle Sam Old Man!
He was beaten to a pulp, almost dying on the spot. If he hadn’t run fast, and those five people still had grudges against his subordinates, the outcome might have been the opposite.
This directly caused the Ghost Saint’s plan to die before it even began, and even left him injured to the point that he wouldn’t recover for three to five years.
…
“I have to say, those European countries did something right this time. ”
Su Qin’an smiled: “The five seniors took action and severely injured the Ghost Saint, rendering him incapacitated for three to five years. If the Thunder Ghost Saint’s main attribute wasn’t lightning, with its speed boost, he might have been lying there. ”
“Good! ”
Liu Qiming was also delighted: “He had to look for trouble! Now he’s been crippled! For at least three to five years, the Ghost Race won’t be causing trouble! ”
“We can’t waste those three to five years. ”
Zhang Keqiang smiled slightly: “What are your plans? ”
“The Ministry of Science and Technology plans to build five aircraft carriers, four space-based weapons platforms, produce 10,000 mechs, and 5,000 laser weapons… estimated completion time is three months. ”
Liu Qiming said: “After three months, you can deploy troops. I guarantee that all soldiers will be equipped with new weapons! ”
Following China’s late-stage fear of insufficient firepower, various weapons always exist in the current generation, reserve generation, production line generation, blueprint generation, and meeting discussion generation.
The fighter jet said, although the current Chinese active fighter jets are the J-20, the most advanced ones are actually the J-60, or even higher, from the meeting discussion generation.
Now, in order to fight the Ghost Race, China has already switched to the latest serviceable equipment, no longer hiding its strengths.
In one fell swoop, China’s military strength has increased significantly. If a real fight were to happen, they wouldn’t be afraid of the Ghost Race.
But to minimize casualties, it’s best to wait a few more days, wait for the most advanced weapons to be mass-equipped, before sending troops to the Pacific Ocean.
After all, with the appearance of the Ghost Race, the Human Race’s goals are no longer simply Earth and the Solar System.
Their goals will be even greater; even heaven and earth would feel too small.
What if heaven and earth are too small?
Expand heaven and earth!
“Good! ”
Zhang Keqiang laughed loudly: “Then I’ll wait three months! After three months, the East, South, North, and Central four major war zones will go all out and attack the Pacific Ocean with full force! ”
“By then, Ying Qing and I will also mobilize Ghost Race Soldiers, and we can have them fight as the vanguard. ”
Su Qin’an said: “Cannon fodder, the more the merrier! ”
The Ghost Race Soldiers would never have imagined that their fate had already been clearly planned by Su Qin’an…
