2524 The Manager Is Still Alive!

Since Duan Ling Tian did not tell Tang Xiao Xiao about his past life, she, naturally, was unaware of Duan Ling Tian's connection to earth. For this reason, she was baffled when Duan Ling Tian referred to Planet Yan Huang as earth.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had already entered earth. Earth was only a small planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, let alone in the boundless outer space. In comparison, even Planet Sattel, the home planet of the Coste Galaxy where Duan Ling Tian had visited three months ago, was more than 100 times bigger than earth. Due to its small size, he managed to cover the entire planet with his Divine Consciousness with just a thought. Through his Divine Consciousness, nothing on earth was hidden from his eyes.

"After more than just ten years, earth has changed so much?" With his Divine Consciousness, he discovered the changes on earth. It was very different from his own memories of the planet he once lived on. Although the technology here could not compare to the technology in the Coste Galaxy or the other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, it was still more advanced compared to the time when Duan Ling Tian was here. It was a few hundred years ahead compared to the time when he was living on the planet!

"Only more than ten years have passed, how did earth change so much?" Science and technology on earth had advanced to a few hundred years ahead in such a short time, how could Duan Ling Tian not feel shocked?

As Duan Ling Tian continued to investigate earth with his Divine Consciousness, he discovered some of the human souls on earth were as strong as those from the Coste Galaxy. Moreover, their souls were almost as strong as his soul. It should be noted that his soul was as strong as an Eminent Celestial's soul. It seemed like these people could strengthen their souls to a certain extent. The souls of Bodiless Celestials were, naturally, in a league of its own.

At this moment, Tang Xiao Xiao finally caught up to Duan Ling Tian. It was not difficult for her to find him since she could also cover the entire planet with her Divine Consciousness. When she saw Duan Ling Tian, she asked, "What is it? Is something wrong?"

"I remember you said the people from the Coste Galaxy have souls as strong as some cultivators because they consume some genetic medicine," Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Tang Xiao Xiao, "Although that's the case, you also mentioned that they don't have Divine Consciousness and are unable to cast soul attacks."

Duan Ling Tian was still slightly confused. "Is it really all due to genetic medicine that their souls are so strong?"

"Well, genetic medicine is half of the reason why their souls are strong. Since their genetic medicine's quality is only mediocre, they have to undergo physical training as well before their souls become as strong as ours," Tang Xiao Xiao explained patiently to Duan Ling Tian, "Due to the strength of their souls, some of them can sense and control certain natural elements."

When Tang Xiao Xiao finished speaking, she used her Divine Consciousness and locked on two people who were in the middle of a fight. Then, she pulled out a jade token with intricate carvings and sent some of her energy into it. Soon after, a moving image appeared before her and Duan Ling Tian.

The moving mirror image displayed the people Tang Xiao Xiao had locked on with her Divine Consciousness. At this moment, a man and a woman could be seen fighting. Their fighting style was incredibly unique as well. One controlled fire, and the other controlled lightning.

Duan Ling Tian murmured, "They look a little like Dao Cultivators." He thought these two were like mutants he had seen in science fiction movies in his past life. Naturally, he did not verbalize these thoughts.

"They're not Dao Cultivators. They're called super soldiers." Tang Xiao Xiao shook her head when she heard Duan Ling Tian's words. "In a way, super soldiers are the result of mediocre technology. Due to mediocre knowledge in science and technology, the genetic medicines' quality is quite low. However, some people who managed to forcefully further strengthen their souls through harsh physical training are able to sense and control certain elements. These people are called super soldiers." She looked at the two people in the moving image and pointed out, "These two people, for example, are super soldiers."

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by this information. "Why didn't you tell me about them earlier?"

"Well, I didn't think it's necessary to tell you about them. These super soldiers' strength are nothing to speak of unless they have some fortuitous encounter and manage to become a cultivator. Let alone people like us, even the average person from the Coste Galaxy would be able to easily kill an excellent super soldier with the lowest grade mecha."

Duan Ling Tian understood why Tang Xiao Xiao did not mention the super soldiers. After all, in her eyes, they were as insignificant as ants. His mind was filled with questions at this moment. 'What happened on earth during the past ten years? How did science and technology advance so much?' He sighed in relief after he investigated further with his Divine Consciousness. 'Luckily, my homeland, Hua, is still around. Moreover, almost half of the humans with stronger souls come from Hua.'

Duan Ling Tian had been an orphan in his past life, he did not know who his parents were nor did he know if he had any living relatives. His homeland had trained him, giving him a sense of belonging. Therefore, he put his heart and soul into serving his homeland, becoming the most outstanding weapon specialist and achieving many honors for the glory of his homeland. Even after he was decommissioned, he continued protecting his homeland in secret. He had zero tolerance for those who offended his country! This was his unshakeable belief in his past life. It was the same now. Unfortunately, it was also due to this belief that he ended falling for his manager's trap and lost his life back then.

"I wonder if he's still alive. If he is, I have no doubt he's living a good life." Duan Ling Tian knew the manager very well. That man would not be content with mediocrity. He would always strive for the extraordinary.

In the past, that man had obtained Duan Ling Tian's trust because he had saved Duan Ling Tian's life once. Although Duan Ling Tian would have survived even without his help, he would still be heavily injured. Since Duan Ling Tian had always been a grateful person, he acceded to the man's request to stay by his side. Throughout the long time they were together, that man had always been conscientious. It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian who did not have family nor friends saw him as a brother. Who knew, in the end, the man whom he had treated as a brother would betray him? "I hope you're still alive…"

Duan Ling Tian continued to use his Divine Consciousness to investigate the inhabitants on earth with strengthened souls. Most of them were super soldiers and were well-known figures.

The reason Duan Ling Tian had chosen to begin his search with these people was due to his understanding of that manager. With the huge change on earth, he was certain that the manager would not stay idle. He would definitely strive to become the most outstanding as well so that he could benefit from the change.

"As expected, he's one of these people!" Duan Ling Tian's speculation was proven right when he discovered the manager from his past life was among the more than 100 top super soldiers on earth who had gained mastery over their souls.

Thanks to his Divine Consciousness, it did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to find the manager. He was not surprised when he saw that the manager's youthful appearance did not change at all even though more than ten years had passed. After all, with the current technological advancement on earth, it would be easy to use genetic medicine to preserve one's youth. However, it was only limited to outer appearance. The genetic medicine could not completely stop the aging process of internal organs, it could only slow down the process.

Duan Ling Tian's eyes gleamed coldly as he thought to himself, 'I'm glad you're alive. I was afraid you had died!'
