"I think you will be truly stunned by this venue! Absolutely breathtaking! Even I was taken aback when I first saw it..." Er Ya teased with a smile.

Louis Pasteur, the Warrior of Germs; Tim Berners-Lee, the King of Kings; Li Siguang, the True Lord of Geodesy; Archimedes, the Demon Lord of Geometry.

At this point, wasting a little time here and there didn't matter much; even if one squandered time that could be spent leveling up, the gap in power wouldn't change significantly.

Just like this sea of blood, no matter how repulsive it might be, it remained a vast ocean—profound, boundless, elusive, and all-encompassing.

"The problem is that the attitude of Song Que, the 'Heavenly Blade' and head of the Song Clan, remains ambiguous. Meanwhile, the Li Tang forces in the north are strong and well-equipped. If we were to launch an uprising and secure Chang'an to unify the north, we could then cast our gaze upon the entire realm. The only concern is the Turkic tribes to the north, who are watching like tigers; if that threat is not resolved, it will become a great calamity!" Xu Xingzhi stated.

"A commander must be impartial in rewards and punishments. You must never practice favoritism or use public office to settle private grudges. Keep this firmly in your minds," Lei Sheng emphasized.

Even the Marrow Cleansing Potion he had obtained from Yun Xuan was half-requisitioned by Su Yunliang under the guise of research.

Consequently, the vigorous campaigns to reduce inflation and scale back excesses across various levels of the state in Xie Lei’s previous life were all based on this very logic.

Ma Chenglin watched as Luo Bin raised his hand and then lowered it. Chuckling in amusement, he lazily raised his own hand as well.

Hearing the commotion outside, the City Lord assumed a great army was attacking his residence and hurriedly placed a call for reinforcements. Yet, just as the communication was sent, Lei Sheng arrived in the City Lord's office.

As for her words, Leng Youyue had no intention of responding; instead, she turned and walked away.

The romance of Kang and Ci was the exact opposite of that between Jing and Rong; this affair was destined to be a tragedy from the very beginning.

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of stale air, swallowed another medicinal pill, and began to circulate his internal energy to restore his vital power.

As one of the original four great families of the Imperial Capital and a newly ascended Golden Family, the Tang Clan had branch offices in many cities across China! This gathering of martial arts families and sects, however, had provided the Tang Clan with many potential rivals.

The people in the city were naturally gripped by panic. The matter was reported immediately to Medicine Matron Qi at the Pharmacy.

The physician abandoned his plan to head to the gambling den to try his luck; instead, he gritted his teeth and followed the guard toward the Yuelai Inn. Upon reaching the exterior of the inn, several figures in black burst out, blades raised to strike the two men.

Since his second son shared the same mother as the third and sixth branches of the family, he truly feared someone might use that connection to target Yu Weibai.

Some police officers arranged by Shen Feihong knew my identity and might provide me with a certain degree of protection, but they would certainly never protect me too thoroughly.

In the next moment, they sensed an unusual writhing in the body of the white spider. Their expressions changed drastically, and their figures flickered, vanishing instantly into the void.

What to do now? Fu Mudan’s mind raced. At this hour, it was impossible to summon the Medicine Matron. She would have to handle it herself. There were no medicinal herbs, but nutritional therapy could serve as a substitute.

"Officer Lu, I hear the National Army is about to retreat?" After a long silence, a voice broke the quiet.

"You scoundrel, no wonder people call you an eccentric teacher. You really are quite unorthodox," Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

Yet, at the very moment they were about to depart, many major powers suddenly changed their minds and began to offer excuses.

When he finished speaking, Zhou Qilin’s face was twisted in ferocity and rage. His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white from the exertion.

Now that he had given all his money to the old man, he had to survive on the less than fifty yuan in small change in his wallet until his next payday. There were still about 20 days until his next salary.

Fortunately, this was the East Sea, and the Shenyu Sect was the one at fault first; otherwise, the outcome might have been hard to predict.

Thinking of this, Old Monkey suddenly saw things clearly. He did not want to become a god for any race, but he had accepted his master's inheritance. Since this so-called Sea Race consisted of his senior brother's kin, they were essentially his own kin as well. Helping them out was only right and proper.

Evolution does not happen in a single day, but it allows no one to give up—even if not for the sake of conflict, but simply to survive.

Saying that earlier was merely a tactic of advancing to retreat, intended to pressure Su Yi, but he hadn't expected that Su Yi would be completely unmoved by such tricks.

"Brother, the Great Elder has ordered us to bring the Emperor back, but we have been searching for so many days without a single clue, let alone sensing the Emperor's aura," Miao Yinyin sighed.

A blood-red flower bloomed at the center of Jiang Zhen’s brow. Moments later, plumes of black flame surged from the sword into Jiang Zhen’s body, instantly engulfing him.

The disciples of the Mount Heng Sect had always used Buddhist teachings to guide their swordplay, eschewing meat and avoiding bloodshed. How could they accept one of their own becoming such a filthy entity?

Finally, the news of Li Ke’s safe return brought great joy to Jing Chen. Although Li Ke had failed to bring back the Purple Flame Ice Spirit, he had successfully retrieved a stalk of Cold Ice Purple Jade Lotus. Its effects were immense, acting as a powerful catalyst for Jing Chen’s recovery.

Adhering to the hardworking spirit of "plucking a feather from every passing goose," since the Cao army had made a move, they were determined not to leave empty-handed.

Or perhaps this was just a special service opened for certain top-tier wealthy individuals. If complete safety could be guaranteed, those people would surely spend tens or even hundreds of millions just to go in and play once, while also growing stronger. The business would likely be booming.

"Fine, fine, if you say so. But I hope you can help me find this mysterious person in the video, otherwise I will report the news of you defeating the other nine people," Yueyue said slyly.

As the person directly involved, she was the one who could best feel the immense power and ingenuity behind that strike. Therefore, she was convinced.

"Yes, you have stepped into the Zhou Tian Realm, though it can only be considered a half-step," said the Dragon God, Jieshou.
