CHAPTER 735: CHAPTER 734 SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO ASCEND

Back in Pan Building, Lu Zixun got in touch with Ge Changming and only then learned what had happened.

After the Demon Clan, in coordination with the forces led by Geng Xiyuan from the Demon Country, had cleared out the restaurants and wiped out all the birdmen of Angel Country, they discovered that Angel Country was actually a ruin.

The holy aura that lingered was not fit for habitation by members of the Demon Clan.

After considering the situation, Qiao Yuan simply ceded Angel Country to the Demon Country, leading to the scene before them.

As for the military fortresses outside, Ge Changming said, "Now, Ninth Brother’s power has reshuffled the Fusion World. This military fortress is prepared for the Demon Country."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun thought for a moment and then understood Long Jiuri’s intentions.

With such a military fortress, the Demon Country could advance or retreat as needed, either launching attacks through the fortress or falling back to the Demon Country and using its barriers for defense.

"Brother Xun, have you been promoted?"

Having belatedly noticed the strengthened aura emanating from Lu Zixun, Ge Changming asked with some uncertainty.

Lu Zixun nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Lu Zixun changed the subject, "When did the Third-order World begin its integration? Has everyone who entered the Forgotten Land come out?"

"They came out a week ago. The casualties were heavy, and that included Gu Beihan and others."

Ge Changming seemed somewhat remorseful, "I didn’t expect that even with precautions, so many would still die. It really is too extreme."

To this, Lu Zixun was not surprised.

After all, even if Long Jiuri had lost his strength, he wouldn’t be someone that Gu Beihan and the others could deal with.

"As to when the Third-order World will integrate..."

Pausing briefly, Ge Changming shook his head, "I’m not sure about that, but Ninth Brother said it’s very likely to be soon."

"Soon?"

Lu Zixun shook his head with a touch of helplessness. The word ’soon’ was too vague.

Having handed over the Third-level Civilization Technology he exchanged at the Void Relic Tree to Ge Changming, Lu Zixun left the Demon Country to find Long Jiuri and inquire about his promotion to A-level.

...

"Promotion to A-level?"

Hearing Lu Zixun’s question, Long Jiuri looked at him with some surprise.

"Hmm, I’m stuck."

Lu Zixun nodded slightly as he spoke.

"I don’t know myself. I was promoted successfully without really understanding how, and afterwards, I faced no obstacles."

Touching his chin and spreading his hands, Long Jiuri indicated he was clueless.

Looking at Long Jiuri with a speechless expression, Lu Zixun sighed slightly, "This is what it’s like to have memories, huh? Really allows one to do as they wish."

"Your cultivation speed is already very fast, you know."

Long Jiuri glanced at Lu Zixun with an expression that said he didn’t realize how fortunate he was, "It’s only been two years since you started cultivating, and in two years you’ve gained B-level strength. That’s no small feat."

"But it’s still not enough."

Lu Zixun said with a headache, "The Third-order World is going to integrate, right? Without A-level strength, I might not be able to deal with Beta."

"Who is Beta?"

Looking at Lu Zixun with surprise, Long Jiuri teased with a laugh, "Is there also a Schuck?"

Lu Zixun then remembered that Long Jiuri always referred to Beta as the Lord of Sin and probably didn’t know about this.

He took five minutes to explain to Long Jiuri that this Beta wasn’t the pilot.

Afterwards, Lu Zixun suddenly remembered something, "Right, I’ve already found a prison capable of locking up Beta."

"Then that’s settled, if nothing unexpected happens, Beta won’t be able to beat me,"

Lu Zixun stated confidently: "After all, according to my years of memories, at the start, Beta was always getting thrashed by me."

His mouth twitching as he looked at Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun covered his face: "Then why is it that every single time, you’ve never managed to get rid of Beta?"

"Well, you see..."

Long Jiuri’s face stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly: "Being able to beat someone temporarily doesn’t mean you can beat them for a lifetime, Beta’s strength will keep improving."

Just as Lu Zixun and Long Jiuri were chatting casually, Zeng Haoyang pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing the two getting along cheerfully, with a sleazy smirk on his face, he shook his head: "Right now the Order and the Demon Country are both busy, yet you two are actually slacking off here."

Hearing this, Long Jiuri said helplessly: "Me and Da Ju don’t really have anything to do right now. As for integrating resources and dividing territories, we can leave that to them."

"Alright then."

Feeling that it made sense, Zeng Haoyang picked up an envelope and left.

However, Zeng Haoyang’s appearance had brought the conversation back to topic.

Long Jiuri looked seriously at Lu Zixun and said: "The reason why your strength is stuck at B-level is largely due to you lacking something, but as for what that something is, I’m not quite sure."

"That’s like saying nothing at all."

Unable to resist making a sarcastic remark, Lu Zixun got up and walked towards the door: "Forget it, asking you is probably futile, I’m off."

...

After leaving the premises of Order, Lu Zixun went inside the Snowfield Frost Land in Zone 20.

What if Hai Zhuming knew something? After all, she too possessed a Divine Position.

However, the result still left Lu Zixun somewhat disappointed.

Hai Zhuming was currently only E-level, far from reaching that realm and unable to unlock the corresponding knowledge, but there was still a glimmer of hope.

By the time he returned from the Snowfield Frost Land, the sky had already darkened.

The Angel Country had successfully docked with the Demon Country, significantly reducing the pressure on the living space of the Demon Country.

Everything seemed to be improving, but Lu Zixun always felt an unease in his heart, perhaps due to the enormous pressure from Beta.

He let out a deep sigh.

After checking on the progress of civilization ascension, Lu Zixun returned to his room, ready to get a good night’s sleep.

During that month at the Void Relic Tree, Lu Zixun could say he had hardly slept.

...

"We’re here."

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, a woman’s whisper echoed in his ear.

Lu Zixun opened his eyes and sat up; this voice, it was that of the cloaked woman he encountered in human society.

Lu Zixun got up and unleashed his Spiritual Energy, sweeping across the entire Fusion World.

Sure enough, he detected signs of the seven worlds coming together.

If this trend continued, in less than three hours, the seven worlds would succeed in merging.

He flashed to Ge Changming’s room and kicked him in the butt, bringing him to his feet: "The seven worlds will merge successfully in three hours, notify the members of Demon Country and prepare for battle!"

Still groggy, Ge Changming, upon hearing these words, instantly perked up.

He hurriedly turned into a pigeon and, fluttering his wings, flew out the window.

After informing Long Jiuri of this message, a now calm Lu Zixun suddenly remembered something—

What was the reason Beta chose this planet?
