Chapter 110: Zhong Chi's Triumph (Additional Chapter for the Alliance Leader, Old Man Without Subsidies)
After completing his tasks, Ding Huan used the war disc to gather the ten thousand undead spiders together and then extracted the Divine Spark Crystals from their bodies.
As the controller of the Divine Spark War Disc No. 1, these undead spiders could only be used by the first war disc.
To utilize these spiders, one would have to take the first war disc.
However, the first war disc consumed an enormous amount of energy, and Ding Huan naturally couldn't take it with him.
Since he couldn't take it, there was no need for him to leave these undead spiders behind.
Once he removed their energy source, the spiders would be nothing more than a pile of materials.
"Brother, these undead spiders are powerful creatures. If used to fight ferocious beasts, they would be top-tier helpers," Zhong Chi couldn't help but comment when he saw Ding Huan extracting another batch of Divine Spark Crystals from the spiders.
"Old Zhong, don't act like you're the boss of the Federation. If I gave these things to you, could you even hold onto them?" Ding Huan replied helplessly.
Zhong Chi loudly retorted, "Brother Ding, you're underestimating me. Why wouldn't I be able to hold onto them?"
Ding Huan said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. See how long you can control these two war discs. If you can hold onto them for more than a month, I'll consider it your win."
"Not just a month, even if I held onto them forever, no one would dare say a word. These are things we fought for together. Who would dare take them? Besides, I can't control the first war disc, so you can take it. I'll just control the second one," Zhong Chi said, pounding his chest confidently.
Ding Huan waved his hand, "I won't take the second war disc either. Later, I'll give you auxiliary control rights, so you can still control the second war disc. But I'm taking the energy source, and you won't be able to take that."
"Fine, it's settled then," Zhong Chi said, though he was reluctant to let Ding Huan take the war discs to play around with.
These were powerful tools for restraining ferocious beasts.
Moreover, studying these war discs could advance Earth's civilization.
"We're leaving now, Old Zhong. You can report back to the Federation. I've left you a thousand Divine Spark Crystals, but only four hundred are yours. Give four hundred to Qu Yi, and then Fang Chong and Lü Zi each get a hundred..."
After saying this, Ding Huan waved to Qi Xin Yue and Old Six, then turned and headed towards his Blue Star spacecraft.
Ding Huan now had plenty of resources on him, and he wanted to visit Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain wasn't just rich in resources; it was also an ancient site where immortals and gods once roamed.
What if he found something valuable there? Even if he didn't find any treasures, he could still cultivate there.
"Brother Ding, I heard you have a female disciple named Ai Xi. She seems to care a lot about you, yet you didn't leave a single Divine Spark Crystal for her?" Zhong Chi couldn't help but tease.
As soon as he arrived in Puhai, he had heard about Ding Huan's impressive disciples: Qu Yi, Fang Chong, Lü Zi, and Ai Xi.
Ai Xi wasn't actually his disciple; Ding Huan suspected that Fang Chong had taught her.
He trusted Fang Chong's character, so after some hesitation, he said, "Alright, I'll give you another hundred Divine Spark Crystals. You can give them to Ai Xi."
"No need. I have more than enough with three hundred Divine Spark Crystals. My martial arts have almost reached their peak, and honestly, Divine Spark Crystals aren't of much use to me," Zhong Chi waved his hand dismissively.
Ding Huan knew Zhong Chi was telling the truth, which was why he hadn't given him any Divine Spark Crystals before.
Zhong Chi's martial arts had reached the innate level, and Divine Spark Crystals weren't particularly useful to him.
With Zhong Chi's personality, even if he were given more Divine Spark Crystals, he would just give them away.
Ding Huan wasn't worried about that, but he was concerned that the crystals he gave Zhong Chi might end up in the hands of the Gene Alliance.
Zhong Chi was the type of person who could be sold out and still help count the money.
Watching Ding Huan, Qi Xin Yue, and Old Six board the Blue Star spacecraft, Zhong Chi could only sigh.
Ding Huan was the most talented powerhouse he had ever met, but he was too proud and unwilling to serve the Federation.
In Zhong Chi's eyes, Ding Huan taking the war disc's energy and a pile of Divine Spark Crystals was a waste.
Wouldn't it be better to leave these things with the Federation? But since they were Ding Huan's spoils of war, there was nothing he could do about it.
...
"Big brother, I want a few Divine Spark Crystals to cultivate," Old Six eagerly wrote on a piece of paper as soon as they boarded the Blue Star spacecraft.
Qi Xin Yue looked at Old Six in surprise.
This monkey's intelligence was quite high, and it could even write.
Ding Huan looked at Old Six and said indifferently, "Old Six, it's not that I look down on you. Even if I gave you ten thousand Divine Spark Crystals, you would at most reach the level of a ninth-level gene beast, and you might not even be able to build your foundation."
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Old Six's eyes dimmed slightly.
It had regained its memories some time ago and knew its situation well.
Ding Huan's words were harsh but true.
What hurt Old Six even more was what Ding Huan said next: "Even if you reached the level of a ninth-level gene beast, on Earth, you would at most be the third strongest. On the border defense line, there's a demon dragon that's close to building its foundation, and it will definitely succeed. So in the future, you'll definitely be its subordinate, serving it tea and water. There's also a giant ape. Although it can't build its foundation, its potential is greater than yours, and you're no match for it... Wait, you wouldn't even be the third strongest because A Huang also has a trace of divine beast bloodline and has a chance to build its foundation. Oh, speaking of A Huang, I just remembered a fire lizard that also has a chance to build its foundation... Forget it, you wouldn't even make it into the top ten on Earth. What's the point of you having Divine Spark Crystals? To waste them?"
As he spoke, Ding Huan activated the Blue Star spacecraft, which shot into the sky like a beam of light.
...
At the Federation military base, Gu Zhong and a group of powerful figures were holding a meeting.
Not only were representatives from various countries' border defense forces present, but also more than half of the representatives from the top ten academies on Blue Star.
Additionally, representatives from the Gene Alliance and the Martial Arts Alliance were also in attendance.
"Commander Gu, another spacecraft has just left the alien base. It seems to be heading towards China," a communications officer reported.
Gu Zhong showed no expression.
It didn't matter where the spacecraft was going.
If the aliens launched a full-scale attack, the entire Earth would fall.
Earth's civilization had no way to stop such a terrifying alien invasion.
"Hahaha, Old Gu, Old Zhu, I'm back!" Zhong Chi's voice echoed from afar.
Hearing Zhong Chi's voice, Gu Zhong's eyes lit up with anticipation.
After all, Zhong Chi was the strongest powerhouse in China, and by extension, the strongest on Earth.
"Old Zhong, you're finally here," Zhu Qinjiang quickly stood up.
At that moment, Zhong Chi entered the conference room.
"Everyone, stop the meeting," Zhong Chi waved his hand dismissively.
A woman with a cold expression said, "Senior Zhong, do you know what you're saying? In the recent battle, seventy thousand Federation soldiers died, and countless missiles, turrets, and defense facilities were destroyed. Yet, we didn't even manage to kill a single spider... If we don't come up with a solution soon, the entire human race will be wiped out."
"Commander Fan, don't be so dramatic," Zhong Chi waved his hand.
He recognized the woman as Fan Yibing, the commander of the Federation's Seventh Army.
True to her name, she was an ice queen—beautiful, the military's top beauty, and meticulous in her work.
She never thought of herself, only the future of humanity and Earth.
"No, this isn't drama. It's the truth. The survival of Earth now depends entirely on us. If we can't hold them off, Earth will be destroyed, and humanity will perish," Fan Yibing said gravely.
She was disappointed that Zhong Chi, as the strongest powerhouse, still didn't understand the severity of the situation.
Zhong Chi said seriously, "I say it's not that serious because we've already destroyed that alien base, and I've taken control of two war discs..."
What?
Hearing Zhong Chi's words, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Zhong Chi sighed, "You don't believe me, do you? Take a look at this."
With that, he pulled something out of his bag and threw it on the ground.
"Is that... an undead spider?" Gu Zhong was the first to recognize it.
His soldiers had been fighting these spiders for so long; how could he not recognize one? But something was off.
These spiders were supposed to be tall, yet this one looked like a pile of mud.
"Exactly, it's an undead spider. I've discovered their secret, and it's really not that complicated," Zhong Chi said proudly.
"Old Zhong, are you serious?" Gu Zhong's voice trembled.
Even though he knew Zhong Chi's words were unlikely to be true, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
What if?
"How about this? Everyone, come with me to the alien base. Once I enter my war disc, I'll show you what spoils of war look like," Zhong Chi said confidently.
"Old Zhong, this is no joke. We're not afraid of death, but everyone here represents Earth's last hope. If we enter the enemy's kill zone, it would be suicide," Zhu Qinjiang said gravely.
Shi Changyi snorted, "What if someone has betrayed Earth and humanity? We might be walking into a trap."
Zhong Chi roared, "Shi Changyi, you despicable scoundrel! You colluded with the ferocious beasts, and I haven't even settled that score with you yet. How dare you slander me?"
With that, Zhong Chi was about to attack.
Gu Zhong and Zhu Qinjiang quickly stopped him.
With everyone already on edge, the last thing they needed was infighting.
Zhong Chi knew that killing Shi Changyi here wasn't feasible.
He coldly said, "Those who trust me, follow me. As for the Gene Alliance cowards, they can stay here and babysit."
With that, Zhong Chi walked out of the conference room.
"I trust Old Zhong," Zhu Qinjiang said, even though he had just said this wasn't a joking matter.
He was the first to follow Zhong Chi out.
Gu Zhong laughed, "Old Zhong's character is trustworthy. Let's go."
He knew that even if Zhong Chi had betrayed humanity, there was nothing they could do.
Hiding here and resisting was a dead end.
Seeing Gu Zhong and Zhu Qinjiang follow Zhong Chi, the others in the conference room gradually stood up and followed them towards the alien base.
After days of battle, they knew that whether Zhong Chi's words were true or not, Earth's destruction was only a matter of time.
