CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: LEARNING THE TRUTH, BEFRIENDING OROSKA

Snow Bear Empire War God Group.

"President, do you really not believe Chu Yuan’s words?"

Vice President Huo Lin Nana hesitated a bit and said, "I actually think there might be truth to it; otherwise, why would Chu Yuan be so serious?"

Standing over two meters tall with an imposing aura, Oroska lit a cigar and laughed, "Why believe it? A Star-Sucking Main Tree, and Gu Qijue is one with that tree, it’s simply too ridiculous. This is just their Di Yuan Group unable to deal with Gu Qijue, trying to use our hands."

Huo Lin Nana nodded thoughtfully, "It’s indeed possible, but it could also be true."

"Even if it’s true, like Chu Yuan said, it would take at least two or three years for that Star-Sucking Main Tree to completely absorb the Star Core of the Star Blue Continent, and since that tree is within the Hidden Dragon Empire’s borders, they would be the first to suffer."

Oroska took a puff of his cigar and said, "I’m planning to contact Gu Qijue and see if I can get some information from him. Have the Satellite Department immediately communicate with the satellites over Cloud City in the Hidden Dragon Empire."

"Alright!"

Huo Lin Nana said no more, dialing the Satellite Department.

Shortly after, a video projection screen appeared.

"Who are you?"

Lin Manjiao looked at Oroska and Huo Lin Nana and politely asked.

Her son’s death, although she couldn’t accept it.

But she had to.

Huo Lin Nana smiled, "We are the President and Vice President of the Snow Bear Empire War God Group. Where is President Gu? We have things to discuss with him."

"President Gu is not in the shelter, but if it’s urgent, you can directly call his cell phone!"

Lin Manjiao said as she gave them Gu Qijue’s cell phone number.

"Thank you, goodbye!"

Having obtained Gu Qijue’s contact information, Huo Lin Nana ended the projection and used the satellite to call Gu Qijue’s phone.

At this moment, Gu Qijue was high above the Star-Sucking Main Tree, bathing in the twin moons’ glow, devouring one Star-Sucking Monster after another.

At this moment, his phone rang in his pocket.

He took it out to see a call from the Snow Bear Empire War God Group satellite.

He answered, "Who is this?"

"Hello, President Gu, I am the President of the Snow Bear Empire War God Group," a rugged and powerful voice came through.

"What do you want?" Gu Qijue replied indifferently.

Oroska laughed heartily, "Just earlier, I was invited by President Chu of your Hidden Dragon Empire’s Di Yuan Group. He told me something quite fantastical. Would President Gu like to know?"

"Speak!" Gu Qijue uttered a single word calmly.

"Here’s the story, an evolved old turtle..."

Oroska conveyed everything he had learned from Chu Yuan to Gu Qijue.

After listening, Gu Qijue remained calm, "You contacting me shows you don’t believe in this."

Oroska laughed, "Exactly, as you people would say, it’s sheer nonsense. What does President Gu think of this matter?"

Gu Qijue gave a sinister smile, "The Di Yuan Group sees Gu Mou as a monster, wanting to take me back for some experimentation, working with marine life out of desperation. What can I say? I can only kill them."

"Indeed, President Gu’s strength is evident to all. If you need support from our War God Group, just say the word. As for compensation, how about some Star Fruits?"

Oroska knew Gu Qijue had many Star Fruits in his possession and was eager.

"How much do you want?" Gu Qijue asked calmly.

"Twenty thousand, a fair price. As a formality, I can have our Vice President dispatch three hundred Superhumans to support you. Don’t underestimate our Superhumans; your Ancient Martial Artists need Spiritual Qi and Spirit Stones to train, but our War God Group’s Superhumans, once they’ve broken through human limits, can continue to grow stronger through extreme training."

Oroska confidently added, "Our Vice President’s strength, as long as those old immortals on Dragon Cloud Mountain don’t act, not even the current Chu Yuan might be her match."

Gu Qijue listened and didn’t haggle, "Deal!"

Oroska laughed heartily, "President Gu is straightforward. I’ll then let Huo Lin Nana take people over tonight, shall I?"

"You’re welcome!"

"Alright, that’s settled then. I’ll have Huo Lin Nana gather the people immediately and fly over tonight!"

Ending the call with Gu Qijue.

Huo Lin Nana dissatisfiedly said, "President, only twenty thousand Star Fruits and you want me to go? Am I not worth more?"

Oroska looked at her helplessly, "You’re definitely worth more than that, but by dawn tomorrow, won’t you be going to other cities in the Hidden Dragon Empire to pick more?"

Hearing this, Huo Lin Nana realized, "President, you’re brilliant. I’ll go gather the people right away."

Oroska nodded, "Go! Gu Qijue, this person, it’s best to be friends with him and not enemies. He’s evolving too fast."

It’s only been three or four days since the apocalypse.

He’s already evolved to this level.

Oroska couldn’t imagine what level he might reach given more time.

Making an enemy of such an existence is not a wise move.

But the people of the Di Yuan Group keep scheming on how to capture him for research.

Oroska could only call them foolish.

"Alright! I, too, wish to meet Gu Qijue."

Huo Lin Nana smiled slightly, swaying her charming and sexy waist as she left.

On the other side, Gu Qijue expressionlessly sent Bai Jingyi a message, "Leave twenty thousand Star Fruits, use the rest as you please!"

Then, he put away his phone.

"The old turtle’s prophecy, the Star-Sucking Main Tree and I are one, can’t destroy this tree without killing me... interesting!"

Having discovered the truth, Gu Qijue’s gaze flickered towards the Star-Sucking Main Tree ahead, saying,

"Xiaoyao, are you in there, already one with this tree?"

"Do you want me to kill Mu Yuxin, hoping I would eliminate your only threat?"

"Or is it true as the old turtle prophesied, that you and I have an inseparable bond, and unless I die, they can’t harm you..."

Gu Qijue voiced all his thoughts.

But even after a long while, there was no response, only snarling Star-Sucking Monsters coming at him.

After learning this information.

Gu Qijue temporarily decided not to kill Mu Yuxin.

Right now, Mu Yuxin couldn’t summon the Super Martial Armor anymore, posing no threat.

However, as long as Gu Qijue wanted, he could reattach Mu Yuxin’s severed hand, enabling her to threaten the Star-Sucking Tree.

As for Xiaoyao’s words, the inherently suspicious Gu Qijue was only half-believing.

Leaving oneself a way out is never wrong.

Gu Qijue did not return to confirm with Mu Yuxin whether this was true.

He continued devouring.

As long as he was strong enough.

Even if it was as the old turtle prophesied, so what?
