MY DOOMSDAY TERRITORY

Chapter 374



Chapter 374

Is that what happened?

At first, when Zhor looked like ‘I’m going to break through’, and Yan Dingtian also managed to enter Transcendence not long after his awakening, he thought that the strongest people of the fourth era had already given birth to a good number of Transcendence.

Now it seems that this is not the case…

Even in the fourth era, those strong men were inches away from the door to ‘breakthrough the Transcendent’. It was difficult for them to succeed in a short period of time. What’s more, not all the awakened people of the Fourth Era were at the ‘door’.   

This suddenly inspired Tang Yu. He didn’t think about it carefully before and ignored the key information.

When the Fourth Era prophecy appeared, the Transcendent was not obvious, and the Thirteenth Awakening stage was already the strongest, and the number was not large. Many small countries did not even have the strongest of people.

Among the Five archmages of the Mage Alliance, only one of them was the Thirteenth Awakening. They still need to polish to weaken the bottleneck. Only when the bottleneck was weakened to the extreme could it only be considered ‘critical’.

Breakthrough at this time depends on talent and opportunity.

…so, the Transcendent that the Ancient Spirit Dynasty had at this stage may not be as many as he thought? Before they could reach the Transcendent stage and order them around like gods, would it take a few more years or even decades?

Yan Dingtian belongs to the top power among the strongest in the Fourth Era?

If he hadn’t been captured, perhaps he would become the lucky one standing on top of the wave?

The corners of Tang Yu’s mouth twitched.

Yan Dingtian probably committed sins in his previous life and only encountered misfortune… This idea just came out, and then he thought that Old Yan spent this time in the training camp and lingered among the restaurants and was extremely happy.

How can he look like a prisoner?

Not long ago, the weekly salary of 100 spirit stones was increased, and Old Yan was immediately as happy, just like a 288 years old child.

If he let him go, he won’t be happy. 

…………

The thought turned around in an instant.

Lu Jianjun’s face reflected in the teacup, a few years younger. 

“Transcendents are difficult to break through, but those in the fourth era, basically have Tenth to Thirteenth levels of awakening. They do not know technology, but have mastered many “secret arts”. I heard that at the same level, they are much stronger than us.”

“They’re humans, it’s not that they can’t cooperate. But…” He sighed. “The people from the Fourth Era looked down on the Fifth Era humans like us. In some places, they cooperate with the strong ones in the Fourth Era. When in fact, they were enslaved and driven. Only when we become stronger can we have the qualifications for equal negotiation.”

Lu Jianjun paused, revealing a kind smile.

It seemed that he felt a little uplifting spirit. He continued, “However, our Great Xia Country is now barely qualified to negotiate with people from the Fourth Era.”

Oh?” Tang Yu couldn’t understand.

Lu Jianjun smiled, “Just yesterday, a high person from the Northern Court has successfully broken through the transcendent, and has informed all the large shelters within the Great Xia.”

This made Tang Yu really surprised. He hurriedly sipped the scented flower tea to suppress his shock. 

“It’s a pre-doomsday martial arts master.” General Lu explained. “Before the doomsday, there was no source power and no hunters. But martial arts does exist. In a passive environment, maybe they don’t have a strong destructive power. But their cultivation method is outstanding.”

“After the doomsday, source power apparead. The master was among the first people to awaken. The master’s awakening stage rose rapidly to five, nine, because of his high knowledge of the realm, he could easily have crossed over the two bottlenecks without a problem.”

Tang Yu understood.

To put it bluntly, with sufficient qualifications and spirit stones, the upgrade speed was naturally faster. With the background of the Northern Court, the spirit stone flow may not be less than the territory. Two or three months ago, the territory certainly had less than that. 

High-purity spirit stones, source plants, the Northern Court should have given it to the master in order to let him quickly pass through the body shaping realm. 

In such desperate times, there’s no doubt that the Great Xia county needs such things.

“With that master sitting in town, it is enough to make Fourth Age humans face up. It is said that there were forces from the Fourth Age who have taken the initiative to show up and intend to cooperate with Northern Court, a real win-win cooperation.”

Fourth Age humans and modern humans look alike, there was not much difference. Without taking the initiative to show up, it was almost impossible to notice that those strong and heavily guarded people were also coming and going without a trace.

Those in charge of shelters like Lu Jianjun are very helpless. They have to prevent them from snatching, killing, and destroying the shelter.

Among the ‘secret arts’ mastered by the people of the Fourth Period, there were methods such as relying on blood sacrifices. To increase the probability of breaking through the Transcendence.

………………

General Lu was a person who has his heart set on the Great Xia country and appears to be cheerful, drinking a few more cups of tea.

He was happy just from a single Transcendent mortal. 

Tang Yu didn’t intend to hold back the blow.

But he just couldn’t deliver it. What would happen if he said Tree Shade has two Transcendent mortals and one was captured? 

He didn’t say anything and refilled the tea for Lu Jianjun again. He lowered his head to sip the tea.

But he was also wondering about the purpose of Lu Jianjun’s arrival.

At first, he wanted to exchange information about the ‘Ancient Spirits building the Capital’, but then he acted more like a listener. It was always Lu Jianjun who chatted. But he heard that the Old General was so busy that he had no time to sleep and practice. 

It made him feel ashamed. 

But he was still the Lord of the territory.

After a while, Lu Jianjun only said. “I wonder how much you know about the cult?”

“Cult? I don’t know much, I heard that there are cults popping up in many places, but the total threat is not big.”

“Most cults are, but-” Lu Jianjun shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Could it be that there is a cult that has caused a big trouble? It won’t be good.” Tang Yu frowned, “most of the cults are ordinary people, and how can they have the ability to cause big problems.” 

This environment of the doomsday was like a hotbed of cults.

In large shelters, there were many survivors, and it was easy to breed cults. But only the survivors living at the bottom of the food chain will be compelled by the cult. Less hunters were attracted. Especially high-ranked hunters who belonged to the privileged class. Their life was even more comfortable than before the doomsday, so there’s no reason to join such a shady cult. 

These cultist rats, at best, could only make some trouble in the slums. In a large shelter, it could be a small problem, or a big one. 

But cults were like rats. There’s not enough threat to kill them, but it was enough to disgust people.

‘Is the Lindong shelter disgusted by the cultists?’

With doubts, he looked at Old General Lu.

Lu Jianjun didn’t sell himself short, “Have you heard of the Final God Cult?”

Tang Yu frowned, thought for a while, shook his head, “Doomsday God Cult, Destruction God Cult, Final God Cult or whatever, I have heard of it, the names are similar.”

“The doctrine of the Cult of Finality is that everything in the world will return to the origin… similar to many cult teachings.” Lu Jianjun paused, “but not the same, the final cult is well organized, and has high level hunters.”

“How high?”

“Seventh and eighth, or even higher… About the Final Cult, I do not know much. If it weren’t for that incident a few days ago, I would still be in the dark.”

Cooperatively revealing a curious look, Tang Yu listened carefully.

“A few days ago, the Academy of Sciences in Lindong was attacked by terrorists. The number of deaths and injuries was quite large. The attacker was a researcher, detonated a homemade explosive, he himself died in the explosion, it was a suicide attack.”

Lu Jianjun sorrowfully shook his head, “the Academy of Sciences is the highest level of security in Lindong, there are many high-ranking hunters among the guards. Outsiders need to go through multiple procedures to enter the inspection, but the internal researchers were clean, and usually live in the Academy of Sciences. This time that researcher used the materials saved from the experiments done on a regular basis, made a bomb and launched an attack…”

“Is Dean Sun okay?”

Lu Jianjun shook his head.

Tang Yu opened his mouth again but finally turned into a sigh.

“In other words, the Final Cult has infiltrated the Academy of Sciences?”

“Yes, to be more precise, it was temptation. I do not know by what means they make the researcher willingly launched a suicide attack. Our department had difficulty to find out if there was a similar person.”

He still has a slightly wrinkled face, and his expression was much more serious. “It’s not just Lindong, Hengcheng, Shuohu… Many large-scale shelters in Tiannan have shown signs of Final Cult activities, and most of the time they have caused greater damage.”

“The main scope of activities of the Final cult is the central and northern part of Tiannan Province. This time, we have several large-scale shelters. I plan to unite and eradicate this cult. I came this time to ask little brother Tang to help.”

Tang Yu did not immediately agree, “How do you want me to help?”

“We have analyzed and agreed that the Final God Cult has its own stronghold in the wilderness, and we are currently tracking it down. I hope Tree Shade would help sending hunters when the time comes to encircle them and attack.”

Lu Jianjun made many more promises.

Such as the distribution of the spoils of war, science and technology, and so on.

He didn’t use righteousness to oppress him, but rather a plain tone, as if he could understand it without agreeing, but it made Tang Yu a little embarrassed.

He was also a patriotic, dedicated, friendly, prosperous, democratic… Although he cannot dedicate himself, it was just a small effort to deal with cults. He was only giving orders, and the real implementation were the hunters below him.

Besides, he had regarded the Province of Tiannan as his own personal ranch. How could he let the cult wreak havoc?

The eyes reflected in the tea water flashed a sharp look, and Tang Yu suddenly looked up, “Okay, I agree.”

…………..

Lu Jianjun briefly toured Tree Shade and soon took the newly opened source powertrain Tree-Lindong, back to Lindong. 

So he could hurry up and set up the plans against the Final God Cult. 

Old Lu was only asking for help in encircling and suppressing cult strongholds, but since they all decided to take action, it was weird not to help.

…..……

Back to the castle, he pondered for a while. 

Tang Yu looked for the head of the Intelligence Department in Tree Shade.

The beautiful, ponytailed Lan Qingya, whose hair was constantly swaying as she walked, pushed open the study and came to stand pensively in front of him.

Tang Yu went straight to the point, “Do you know a cult called the Final God Cult?”

Lan Qingya recalled, “There is such a cult, but it seems to be very mysterious. The intelligence department does not know much about it.”

“The Final God Cult is not an ordinary cult, the hunter strength was not weak. This time, your job is to identify the stronghold of the cult, whether in the wilderness, or in the large shelter… Well, it’s also possible that the high-level of a large shelter was corrupted by the cult and acted as an umbrella. We also need to pay attention to this aspects.”

“Understood!”

Lan Qingya’s legs closed together, her right hand clenched fist on her left chest. Performing a simple knight’s salute. An etiquette originated from Roger, it wasn’t required, and they were not taught to do it. But the hunters within Tree Shade began to consciously use this set of movements. 

When she finished, her throat squirmed, and she looked bitter, “The arrangement you gave us before, screening talents with rune qualifications has not been completed, and now we need a large number of people to investigate the cult. We can no longer draw so many people.”

“Is that so?”

Tang Yu thought about it, although the intelligence department had been secretly expanding its manpower, but compared to the area covered by this intelligence network, the manpower growth was rather slow.

Other departments were also short of people, so much so that the intelligence department has to take the lead in things like screening talents.

The two major corps were also busy recently. The new battalion establishes many regiment members to be transferred to the new battalion as instructors. Another part was also busy with the formation of the cavalry regiment. They can’t draw manpower from the same corps.

He struggled to figure out the solution.

He thought of issuing a quest to the high reputation score in the adventurer guild. But he was worried if the case leaked and they became enemies. 

Suddenly, there was a bright light in his eyes.

Tang Yu looked at Lan Qingya, “There is no need for you to draw out a large number of manpower, I will have the apprentices of the martial arts school cooperate with you. The intelligence department will give the direction for the apprentices to start the investigation.”

……

Seeing Lan Qingya leave, Tang Yu sat in his study and took out a copy of ‘Three Years Runes, Five Years Simulation’. But his eyes did not fall on the book, wandering, caught in the middle of his thoughts.

He was curious as to why the Final Cult could attract high-ranking hunters and public officials from large shelters.

Certain suspicions bubbling up in his mind made him even warier.

Let the martial arts apprentice participate in this matter, and add some spiritual experience was just right. It can make up for the lack of manpower.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, he confirmed that there was nothing missing. He closed the book and turned the black ballpoint pen on the cover of the book. The door of the study was closed. Tang Yu walked quickly and came directly from the fifth floor of the castle, directly to the fifth floor of the training camp.

“There’s no point in thinking about it. There’s a master breakthrough in the Transcendent in the Northern Court. I, the Lord, can’t be left behind.” 

Tang Yu entered the spiritual space and hovered between Personal Training, Survival Mode, Duel Space, and Tower of Trials before finally settling his gaze on the Lord’s Exclusive Mode.

He had not challenged the Lord Mode for a long time, and many of the battle techniques rewarded in the mode, the development and use of source power were more advanced than the heavy chopping, blood chopping, and such…

However, Tang Yu has been here for a long time. He hasn’t experienced battle in time, only occasionally in personal training, when used the spirit stones in PK mode with Old Yan. The combat skills awarded, including the skills inherited by the demon swordsman, were actually used less.

… It’s not useless; he has sorted it out and gave it to followers to learn. He can also populate the skill database to prepare for the development of new skills in the future.

“In short, when you do something, you must have a beginning and an end…” He muttered. His mind fell on the Lord Exclusive Mode, and he chose to confirm.
