novelAnother Holy Tribunal of The Third Eye
| ← Ch.139 | Ch.141 → |
"Hello, " Wang Hu said coolly.
The Russian Leader did not mind the cold tone and continued to speak in a friendly manner with his relatively fluent Mandarin, "Your Excellency, I have been waiting to make this call for a long time. It was a pity that I didn't have the chance previously.
"Today, I finally got it. Unfortunately, it's only a phone call and not a meeting in person with Your Excellency where we can speak our minds."
Wang Hu was nonchalant even though this was the leader of one of the most powerful countries on Earth, and he was currently trying to please Wang Hu by saying pleasant things deliberately.
Wang Hu remained indifferent.
He went straight to the point and said, "What can I help you with, Mr. Leader?"
The Russian Leader remained composed, and he smiled."Alright, let's be straightforward. I made the call today to seek a collaboration with Your Excellency."
"What collaboration?" Wang Hu was not surprised. It was only a matter of time that this would happen.
"There is a Grade 1A alternate world in Russia. We would like to invite Your Excellency to enter this world with us and reap some benefits, " the Russian Leader said earnestly.
"I am not in the mood to enter other worlds now, " Wang Hu said without a second thought.
The Russian Leader finally frowned as he sat in his office. He spoke with even more sincerity, "Your Excellency, we have investigated this Grade 1A world for a very long time.
"I guarantee that it is not dangerous for Your Excellency at all.
"And the benefits that we will reap will be aplenty."
"I will also be honest with you, Mr. Leader. I am not interested in invading another world without a good reason, " Wang Hu said with his voice turning colder.
The Russian Leader's eyes wandered, and he paused. He felt resigned and disappointed, "Alright then, it's a shame that we can't work together this time.
"Your Excellency, I look forward to having a chance to work with you in the future and to solidifying our friendship."
"Mmhm, " Wang Hu responded coolly.
When the call ended, the Russian Leader placed the phone down heavily, and his brows furrowed tightly.
After two seconds, he gave a sneer.
"He's ultimately just a tiger. Foolish."
In the Tiger King's Cave...
After the call ended, Wang Hu was also frowning.
"You have already refused, so what else are you thinking about?" Di Baijun, who was by his side, asked.
She had been cultivating by his side and heard the conversation clearly.
Wang Hu said solemnly, "I'm thinking that the countries in this world are ultimately greedy."
"You mean the invitation from Russia this time?" Di Baijun's brows furrowed slightly.
"Yes." Wang Hu nodded, and his voice turned more serious, "China decided on the policy to never invade a weaker alternate world, a Small World. There are many reasons why, but putting aside the assessment of such a policy, it's at least stable.
"Those who invade will eventually be invaded; there is some truth to this saying.
"The Earth right now is currently like this. It is connected to numerous alternate worlds. Many of them are much stronger than Earth, and the Earth is weak now.
"Logically speaking, the most stable policy that the different countries on Earth should take is to avoid launching invasions on the Small Worlds and continue to maintain its friendly image.
"However, human countries—or should I say, intelligent beings—cannot hide their greed.
"The benefits a world can give, even if it was just a Small World, are huge for the different countries on Earth.
"However, though it may seem that they stand to reap a lot of benefits, it will also lay up trouble. After all, the truth always comes out in the end."
He paused and continued to say, "This is not really a huge issue in the first place since they have to develop faster and strengthen themselves to be prepared for the changes in the future.
"The weak become prey for the strong; it's only normal.
"We also invaded the dinosaur world ourselves. However, I did not imagine that the Russians would be so ambitious now... they're targeting a world with the existence of Third Realms.
"Why can't they continue to invade the Small Worlds like how they used to previously?
"There will be problems soon if they are overly ambitious.
"This is the biggest weakness of humans; they are never united. A country may cause troubles for the entire world.
"Despite this, no one can stop it from happening.
"Every country has its own ambitions. Unless they really caused a huge problem, who has the authority to control the ambitions of other countries?"
Di Baijun also realized the importance of this issue. Although maintaining a friendly image might be useless sometimes, it was still useful for most of it.
The behavior of the different countries hurt the friendly image of Earth and, obviously, their interests.
Regardless of how they wanted to think of it, they were already aligned with the different countries to a certain extent; this was an irrefutable fact.
This was not a problem at all in the first place; the weak became prey for the strong—that was the law of nature which she also agreed to. For example, their tiger species also invaded the dinosaur world.
However, to be overly ambitious was a problem.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got.
"Troublesome." She blurted out the word impatiently.
Wang Hu came around from his deep thoughts. He smiled unwittingly and said with his heart feeling light, "No use to think about it too much. We have no power to interfere; neither does China. No one can interfere.
"This is also the reason why I don't want to have contact with the different countries now. They are not united and have too many troublesome issues. Contacting too frequently will only court trouble for ourselves...
"Unless we have sufficient power to change the decisions of the various countries."
Di Baijun nodded in agreement. She did not agree to having a deeper relationship with the different countries from the start.
"We'll just look and see how much these countries can cause trouble. To put it simply, they are also the ones shouldering the problems. They should solve the problems that they caused by themselves." Wang Hu sneered.
Collaborate with him? What a joke.
Yes, the weak became prey for the strong, and it's not wrong for the different countries to invade the Small Worlds.
However, the problem was... were the different countries really that strong now?
Russia even dared to target a world with Third Realms when it had no feud with them... what gave them the confidence?
Nuclear weapons?
What a joke. It was still uncertain if nuclear weapons would even work in different worlds.
They had overestimated themselves.
Even for him, if it wasn't because China had a feud with the Hu County alternate world, he wouldn't go at all.
There was another very important point: Wang Hu did not trust these countries at all.
Thinking of collaborating with him? Impossible.
Di Baijun nodded and immediately put this matter aside.
In the next few days, Wang Hu was not sure if Russia continued to target the 1A-level world. He also did not spend effort in finding out.
He just continued to cultivate as he watched the world events happen.
On the Internet, especially on overseas Internet pages, news and even videos of wars breaking out in different places would occasionally appear.
However, the extent of the spread was small, and it faded out very quickly.
The Human Countries' Allied Forces were also officially formed. It made huge headlines, and it started to be stationed around the world.
The Internet even said that the second batch of World Allied Forces was being discussed.
Another month passed, and the world was shocked by some news.
China had its first Third Realm cultivator.
In the short span of two hours, the news was spread to all countries. On the surface, everyone rejoiced.
It appeared to be a celebration of the entire human species. Wang Hu and Di Baijun also read many articles about it.
They knew that the emergence of a first Third Realm meant that China had entered the league of Third Realms.
It wouldn't be long before there would be more and more Third Realms appearing.
This was the strength of China as the king of cheats.
It was worthy of their attention.
With the emergence of the first Third Realm, the major countries in the world also engaged in an imperceptible competition.
Wang Hu did not care about the process. However, soon after, the outcome was that China's position increased, even surpassing that of India's.
All the countries rushed to establish all kinds of relationships with China.
Happenings after happenings took place in different countries.
As he looked with interest, Wang Hu grew stronger little by little, and time also passed bit by bit.
On a remote place several thousands of kilometers away from the northern border of China, all of a sudden, a figure was seen falling down from the sky which resembled the sea.
The figure was dressed in a black and red outfit which showed her great figure. Her hair was full and thick, and a unique seductive quality appeared on her cold and flawless face.
It gave off the feeling of ice and fire combining. It was not incompatible at all; rather, it looked naturally beautiful.
The lady who fell to the ground took a moment to come to her senses. She took a look around, and suddenly, her cold eyes were filled with shock.
A new world!
She turned her head to look at the vast space that mirrored the surface of water high up from the ground and struggled by herself for a moment.
A few seconds later, she sighed.
At this point, the people pursuing her must have already found out.
If something is to be blamed, then blame it on bad luck.
In the next instant, she transformed into a faint silhouette and ran towards the North. Her speed was incredibly fast, yet her face remained composed and cold.
A minute after she ran away, a few more figures walked out of the newly-formed world passage.
All of them were decked in a black armor and carried the same spear. Their body was similar to humans, but horns grew on their heads. A black layer of air surrounded their bodies, and a chaotic, disorderly, and savage aura emanated from them.
The moment they walked out of the world passage, they immediately burst with ecstasy.
It seemed like they had discovered a great treasure.
In the next moment, three of them immediately attacked the other figures with their spears.
Out of six of them, two died in an instant.
The remaining four totally ceased their chase after the lady and just looked at one another greedily and ferociously in silence.
Without a word, they started to brutally fight against one another.
After more than ten minutes, eventually, only one figure remained standing. His excitement was clearly visible, and he broke into maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha! This is a new world! Incredible! Once I report it to the Commander... the reward that I will get... hahaha!
"Even if we let that woman escape, it's fine since it's a whole new world.
"Hmph, they dreamed of snatching my rewards. What a joke!"
He laughed out loud again, did not even bother to clean up the bodies, and went straight back to the world passage.
After a few minutes, more figures walked out.
They were in the same armor and spear, had a horn on their heads, and sported black air around their bodies.
The figure that won the fight from before was one of them.
They did not bother to look at the bodies that lay on the ground and only focused on the surroundings. Their excitement and greed were visible on their faces.
The person in the lead exclaimed, "Good! Jiao Li, you've made a huge contribution."
As he said so, jealousy and a desire to kill flashed before his eyes; how incredibly huge the merit would be for a discovery of a new world.
Still, he resisted his urge.
He couldn't do so as the Commander already received news of it anyway. It would be pointless to kill everyone present.
The figure who won said with a huge smile, "I'll treat everyone to a good meal."
After he finished his sentence, he continued to say with a hint of bewilderment, "However, why can't Commander come in? Only demon soldiers like us could enter."
"That's not for us to think about. We'll just report everything as it is to the Commander. Let's go back now, " the person in charge said without much thought.
He led the group back into the world passage.
The group disappeared, leaving behind only five bodies that were still lying on the ground.
After a few more minutes, a large number of beings who were in the same outfit and appearance walked out of the world passage.
Ten... hundred...
"We are here to explore this new world as per Commander's instructions. The Commander has reported it to the Demon King.
"Once the Demon King arrives and swallows this new world, we will receive plentiful rewards!"
The being in charge yelled.
Immediately, the other beings started yelling and cheering as well.
At the same time, the surveillance center in Russia also detected suspicious activity.
The information was relayed.
After two minutes, a huge amount of strength was deployed in Russia.
After half an hour, the Russians came into contact with those beings.
A few minutes more, bombs after bombs flew towards them, and earth-shaking explosions were heard, drawing the attention of the major countries.
After half a day passed, Russia contacted the other four major countries in an emergency call.
The Russian Leader appeared incredibly solemn.
He said, "Something very bad happened. A world passage appeared in our country, and more than 100 Second Realms appeared at once.
"We captured one of them alive and found out from him that their world is very terrifying.
"They have an unimaginably vast territory, thousands of Commanders who are all Third Realm beings, and a Demon King whose strength is unknown.
"And they have an incredible desire and greed for new worlds; they want to consume new worlds.
"The time was too short, and this is the only information we managed to get now. We need more time for more information.
"We foresee that the other party will send many more Second Realms over. A war will break out again."
The expression of Dong Pingtao and the other three turned grave.
Thousands of Third Realm Commanders, a Demon King whose strength is unknown, and more importantly...
"They have an incredible desire and greed for new worlds, and they want to consume new worlds... how do they consume it?" The Iran Leader looked intently at the Russian Leader and asked.
"Yes, correct. We don't know how they consume worlds. So far, we only managed to get the meaning of the word 'consume', " the Russian Leader said seriously.
The other Leaders looked grim.
"Could it be another Holy Tribunal of The Third Eye?" The US Leader sighed and said.
The few of them shared the same thought. If it was really as they thought... the power at that level would be unimaginable.
Currently, their only point of comparison was the Holy Tribunal of The Third Eye—which they only managed to understand a tiny part of.
One Holy Tribunal of The Third Eye already made them incredibly hard-pressed; who knew that another one would emerge so quickly?
This time, it even appeared directly in Russia, which made it even more dangerous.
No wonder the Russian Leader contacted them immediately once they received information about it.
