“Just like we grew older, naturally, he grew older too. Not only that, look at the way he moves when he attacks. He can’t move his right arm very well; it is crippled. ”
“Even so, he still has that terrifying energy that cannot be explained by common sense. Brother, have you forgotten the terrifying power when he fought that old man back then? ”
“You mean that? Hahaha, you forgot that I designed the mechanical snake. It can not only conduct surveillance and attacks, but it can also analyze the energy of the person it comes into contact with. So, does Bai Lixin still have that power? No, not a single bit. He only has brute strength. ”
Zhou Ping’s elegant expression showed a hint of madness as he looked at Zhou An and said, “Brother, when Bai Lixin was experimenting on us, I made up my mind that one day, sooner or later, I would give him a taste of what it would be like on the operating table.”
Zhou An frowned at Zhou Ping’s somewhat crazy expression and gulped, “Brother, calm down, you’re too crazy. It’s better to tell the God-Emperor about this. You were also confident that we could rewrite the history of artificials, but…”
Zhou Ping calmed down and his expression slowly returned to normal. “I am still right. The history of the artificials has indeed been rewritten. ”
Zhou An was silent, but in his heart, he said, ‘Yes, it was indeed rewritten. We created the God-Emperor, who is so terrifying.’
“By the time the God-Emperor was born, Bai Lixin had already disappeared. To the God-Emperor, a powerless Bai Lixin is no different from the untouchables at the foot of the tower. He has no energy for such things, and telling him would only arouse his anger. It is better to take care of your affairs, brother. I have prepared a mobile surgical cart with an abundant supply of energy. Highly precise surgeries can be performed in this vehicle. ”
The madness in Zhou Ping’s eyes had now faded. “Tomorrow we’ll go out into the field, get a few of our cronies to drive this surgical car and capture Bai Lixin.”
“Just a few of us, into that forest?”
“What are you afraid of? We have long since chased the zombies away. There’s not even a single creature in that forest. ”
Zhou An was used to being comfortable on the tower these years, soaking in the pile of angels day in and day out. He had long lost the nature that had once been honed in those previous years of purgatory.
He was still a little scared to go after Bai Lixin.
But seeing Zhou Ping’s firm gaze, Zhou An gritted his teeth and nodded, “Okay, I’ll go with you. Let me go back and prepare. I’ll find a few reliable brothers, and we’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. ”
Zhou An hurriedly left Zhou Ping’s office. Zhou Ping sat back down in his chair, picking up his cup of tea and taking a sip to moisten his dry throat.
He turned the display screen back on, and Bai Lixin, who had just disappeared, came into view again.
Ten years ago, he conducted experiments on the angels based on extremely bold ideas for the sake of his power and the great cause of artificial humans.
Unexpectedly, that experiment created the God-Emperor.
The God-Emperor was born, and his power had long since reached the pinnacle of what humans could achieve.
All the God-Emperor had to do was open his mouth and he would obey his commands uncontrollably. The sense of oppression the God-Emperor brought him was stronger than even that brought by Bai Lixin.
After the birth of the God-Emperor, they lived behind the boundary for more than half a month.
He was not like an ordinary child, who would only be wailing at half a month. During that half month, the God-Emperor grew from a tiny newborn baby to the appearance of an ordinary child of about four years old.
As the God Emperor’s body became more and more coordinated, Zhou Ping also felt that he was getting more powerful.
For some reason, the angels around him treated the God-Emperor with extra respect, but when he asked the angels why, they could not tell him why. They only said that they wanted to kneel and worship this child from the depths of their souls and that the reverence was as devout as that for the gods.
The angels loved to follow the will of God, and since their souls told them to obey the God-Emperor, they did, never asking why.
More than half a month later, when the God Emperor’s body was still a child of about four years old, he led all the angels and the two brothers to tear open the boundary and walked out.
Their first stop outside of the boundary was the nearest human base.
This base was medium-sized, and although the number of people was not large, it was not small.
According to Zhou Ping’s estimation, there were at least a hundred or so power users inside.
The God-Emperor took his pious people and the two brothers and walked into the base like it was a no man’s land. The power users in the base were dissatisfied on seeing that the intruders were only fragile angels and a child.
Just as they were about to sweep through these idiots who had brought themselves to their door, something happened that left their jaws dropping.
The God-Emperor just casually waved his hand in mid-air, and all the powers in the base fell to their knees without any strength in their bodies.
The God-Emperor took over this base with ease and became the new leader. After spending five days at the base, the God-Emperor once again took his already growing team forward. Whenever he came across a human base, he would absorb them without saying a word.
This approach was…like that of Bai Lixin…
Bai Lixin had once taken in the zombies everywhere he passed, and now the God-Emperor was taking in all the artificials he met.
His subjugation took only a year. The God-Emperor gathered all the artificials into one place, and in the middle of this desert, the God-Emperor ordered that a kingdom of artificials is built and that a future paradise for the artificials is built in the centre of the kingdom. It came to be known as the Tower.
It took the artificials two years to build this kingdom, and they were all ordered to live there.
The God-Emperor divided the artificials into classes according to their abilities, creating a rigid hierarchy.
He allowed high-ranking artificials and angels to breed children, but the children born were sent to the 288th level for special tutoring and education. Even they, the children’s biological fathers, never saw the children even once.
Others may not know the intrigue of this, but Zhou Ping, who once wanted to do the same, knew it well enough.
The God-Emperor was evolving the artificial humans further. The already existing artificials had experienced too much life and war before and after they reached adulthood. No matter how much they had accepted the God Emperor’s rule, they could not wholeheartedly listen to the leader.
But those stronger children have been raised in an independent environment since birth.
They will accept whatever ideas someone instils in them.
These children would become the God Emperor’s strongest backbone and sharpest spear, conquering cities and ruling the world for him.
This had once been his plan, but he was unsuccessful. However, the God-Emperor had brought it to fruition.
It was because he knew this that Zhou Ping avoided all relationships with the angels from the start; providing soldiers to the other side was a sure way to die.
Sooner or later, when the God-Emperor decides that his soldiers are strong enough and the artificials humans are getting old and losing their value, those soldiers will pour out and kill them all.
Zhou Ping’s eyes were fixed on Bai Lixin’s fierce eyes on the screen.
The only thing that could fight against the God-Emperor was your power. But where has that power that once shook the world gone?
He had to study and research what his power was all about.
The next day, before dawn, Zhou Ping and Zhou An drove out of the city in a pitch-black car.
Both Zhou Ping and Zhou An had high status in the high tower. The gatekeeper immediately opened the city gates when he saw it was them and let the two go.
In addition to the two brothers, there were ten other powers in the car, each with great skills, and the most loyal subordinates.
They drove north and arrived at the edge of the forest after more than half an hour.
Although the forest was dead, the century-old trees stood firmly in place, like guards who would rather die than give in, keeping the surgical car out.
Zhou Ping would not insist on driving the car in either. He stepped down from the car after seeing that he could not continue, leaving two of his subordinates to watch the car while the other eight, along with his brother, went straight into the depths of the forest.
“Brother, can you find Bai Lixin’s whereabouts?”
Zhou An pressed his hand against the dead tree trunk and closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened his eyes and shook his head in disappointment, “No, these trees are dead. There is nothing to ask.”
They contributed to the death of this forest. It was originally the forest where Yi Nuo, the former leader of the zombies, had brought the zombies to survive.
After the God-Emperor established the Kingdom of Artificials, they launched a ferocious attack on the zombie race.
Even though they had long since lost their cannibalistic nature, the God-Emperor, for some reason, seemed to loathe them as a species and would not rest until they were exterminated.
The zombies had strong bodies and physical skills, but the artificials not only had powers but also machinery and their greatest weapon—the God-Emperor.
That war was more of a one-sided slaughter than a war.
The zombies were defenceless against their advanced weapons and the God-Emperor and could only run.
The battle lasted only three days and nights, and not a single zombie survived.
Not long after, the birds and beasts in this forest disappeared, and the trees in the forest began to wither and eventually die.
“No need to blame ourselves. Since we can’t find him that way, we will divide into three groups for the time being and send a signal as soon as we find his figure.” Zhou Ping pointed to the watch-like signal transmitter strapped to his arm and said, “I developed these machines so they are not subject to magnetic and electric field interference. They can transmit signals within a certain distance, so don’t worry. Although Bai Lixin has lost his power, he is still very powerful. Once you sense that you can’t fight him, quickly evacuate.”
