Chapter 1430: Don't Be Too Rigid When Posing
The Solar System and Titatitan Star formed a military alliance. These seven people would determine the future of the new alliance and would become their decision makers.
The Solar System was entering a new era.
The Darkness Empire had suffered a huge loss but didn't issue any arrogant announcements internationally. That was rare. Tita's transport route was never mentioned again. Mu Sen, however, didn't dare to take things lightly. The Darkness Empire usually didn't make any moves when they made a big scene. They had to take precaution now that they didn't. Tita Star and the Solar System's alliance finally gave the Tita Star foreign aid. Anyone who wanted to attack them would have to think twice now.
Wang Zheng's position was unparalleled now, having defeated three Heaven-rank warriors by himself. That made him a god of war on Earth.
A god of war from Ares College, the protector of the Solar System, an idol of millions. He was now a legend who had satisfied the desire for security of most ordinary people.
Ye Bingwen arranged for a series of tasks for Wang Zheng. He had to visit all three big planets. The Solar System had obtained the most in this war. The three big planets did not encounter any battles, but the army needed support. The victory this time was only the beginning. The chaos of the Milky Way Alliance would not end here. The Solar System would not sit passively, waiting for death. They had to play an active role as a permanent member of the Alliance. To Drachmach and the rest, Wang Zheng and Xie Yuxin's birth was the beginning of the journey to greatness for the Solar System. If they continued to stay stagnant even with such strength and conditions, then the Solar System was really hopeless.
Of course, everything had to be well prepared. The support of the people was of utmost importance as it would guarantee the source of troops and resources.
This was actually the last thing that Wang Zheng would like to do, but there was no other choice. Luckily for him, he had Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu with him all the way. Ye Zisu taught Wang Zheng the smile way — smile and wave. That was enough for him.
After a few days, Wang Zheng had the feeling that this was far more terrifying than his battle with the Heaven-rank warriors. He could no longer feel his face, but he could visibly feel that all of this had its use. Thousands went wherever he went. Countless people had to pay tribute to the legendary super warrior. Wang Zheng gave them confidence. There was no difference, everyone coexisted for the Solar System.
Lie Xin was his guide on Mars since it was the Lie family's territory. Wang Zheng's promotion was arranged in three cities. He was greeted by the greatest enthusiasm everywhere. The hotel he put up in was flooded with enthusiastic Martian beauties shouting that they wanted to give birth to Wang Zheng's babies...
Wang Zheng was helpless in the face of such passion. Great Beauty Lie Xin even ridiculed him, saying that it wasn't good to hold it in. That seductive expression... Wang Zheng pretended not to see it.
Wang Zheng came to the Sage Sect after the promotional activities on Mars. He didn't need to bother himself with the nitty gritty. He needed only to show his face. His agreement with Odin was the key to this trip to Mars.
Odin bestowed upon him a mind-blowing welcome the very first time he came to the Sage Sect on the Saint Mountain. There was nothing of that sort this time since he had come discreetly. Odin welcomed him personally, which was actually the highest honor.
Odin's refined zen room, a pot of tea, a futon for each person, both of them sat cross legged.
Odin sized Wang Zheng up and broke into a smile. "Fate is really mysterious."
"Senior, haven't you already seen the future?" Wang Zheng asked.
Odin shook his head. "No one can really see the future. I only see the signs, not the truth."
Wang Zheng nodded. That was what he thought as well, it was just that he had too many questions in his head this time.
"What do you want to ask on this visit?" Odin said as he offered Wang Zheng a cup of tea. Wang Zheng was already a master based on his combat ability. His understanding should be higher than most. He was certainly here because of something else.
"Senior seems to have seen something from me when I first came. I would like to know what the responsibility I'm shouldering is," Wang Zheng replied.
Odin smiled. "The changes are still rather significant after a few years. I remember you weren't willing to accept everything."
"I only follow my heart."
"Good." Odin nodded. "Human civilization faced a few crises in the past, but these crises were resolved by people with magical powers. Even the Sage Sect doesn't know where this source of power originated. We only knew that a successor would appear and that the method of succession does not rely on humans. I felt a possibility that it might appear on you when I met you. This happened a few times in history, but not all were true. Yours should be."
"Is it the Saint Church?" Wang Zheng asked.
"You can say that it is, and you can say that it's not. The Saint Church is the core of the current Saint, though it's purpose has changed. What you inherited should have a connection to the Saint Church, but it does not. This appeared before the Saint Church was established. Not everyone could withstand the pressure of this inheritance. Anyone who can is extraordinary."
Wang Zheng could now bear the weight of being "extraordinary". Odin meant it. Odin had played a huge role in the collaboration of the Solar System. He was able to make the unruly Martians lead in the army. Odin's vision was really far.
Wang Zheng nodded. It seemed like Odin didn't know much more. The Rubik's Cube he obtained was extraordinary. The appearance of Charcoal made him doubly sure of that. That worried Wang Zheng because it wouldn't be as simple as the current chaos of the Milky Way Alliance if such effort was put in.
Odin's wise eyes seemed to have seen through everything when he saw Wang Zheng frowning. "Don't feel too burdened and don't worry about things that have yet to happen. Fate is ever changing and you have the power to change."
"Senior, where do you think will be the point of entry?" Wang Zheng asked. He knew he couldn't guard just the Solar System and Tita since he had this power. With great power came great responsibility. He finally understood what that meant.
"Not only humans can threaten humans now. We may like to have a civil war, but there is a pattern. After each civil war, there will be a long period of peace and development. From the perspective of life, this is normal. The only ones who can threaten us are the Zergs. No one knows where they came from or in what form will come," Odin continued.
Wang Zheng nodded. "I have been to the hinterlands of the Abyss. It would be catastrophic for humans if the Abyssal Zergs could emerge from there. However, there is some power trapping the bugs there."
The problem was that there was no point in attacking the Abyss. The insects could breed continuously and become stronger. It was impossible to close the Abyss as well. Wang Zheng didn't know what to do, but that was natural. The present human technology could do nothing, they could only be vigilant.
"Find a way to stop the current chaos in the Milky Way Alliance before the Zerg race comes," Odin said.
This fitted Wang Zheng's thinking exactly, but he wasn't that arrogant to think that he and the Solar System could do it.
"The Solar System and your current power are certainly insufficient. However, I think the opportunity for you to find a suitable entry point and leverage will come."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" Wang Zheng nodded.
"Relax when you are posing, you are too rigid." Odin laughed heartily. He couldn't resist taking a jab at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng could only stomach it all, speechless.
