Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699: Dealing with Foreign Races is Very Simple

Transit World, formerly the Emperor’s Mausoleum, also known as the space of the Fengshen Rankings.

Jiang Xiaobai had just arrived when he saw the long-awaiting True Lord Erlang, Yang Jian!

"Mr. Jiang, you truly have not let us down."

War God Yang Jian wore a refined and gentle smile: "This time, did you run into any trouble?"

"Sigh, don’t even bring it up. Trouble? There was plenty!"

Jiang Xiaobai collapsed onto the ground, exhausted and drained, recounting the rough outline of this journey, mostly focusing on the matter of the extraterrestrials.

Because the extraterrestrials seemed ready to make a move, there wasn’t much time left for them.

Jiang Xiaobai originally thought that bringing up the extraterrestrials would make War God Yang Jian and the others show some worry. Even if they didn’t, there should have been some reaction.

But Yang Jian was completely unfazed and merely nodded calmly.

"No way, True Lord, the extraterrestrials are practically invading our doorstep. The Earth Immortal realm is hanging by a thread, unable to resist them! Aren’t you concerned at all?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked, dumbfounded.

"Haha... Who told you that?"

Yang Jian, who was pondering something, couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.

What an innocent and simple child!

"Huh? Wasn’t the incident from back then orchestrated by the extraterrestrials? Even if it wasn’t, they must be linked to those entities from the past. This is an omen!"

Jiang Xiaobai shouted. Just as he finished speaking, numerous celestial officials from the Heavenly Court appeared by his side, looking at him with an expression of pity.

And yet, not a single person stepped forward to explain the matter.

"This situation isn’t what you imagine. You needn’t overly worry. These insignificant extraterrestrials are not worth mentioning."

Yang Jian said plainly, "Since you’ve brought the artifact, why are you hesitating? Did you really think our revival wouldn’t require time?"

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly remembered and muttered while pulling a small black crystal from his pocket.

When Yang Jian saw him casually take out the black crystal, everyone was stunned. Then, they looked at Jiang Xiaobai with eyes full of disbelief.

"You just... how did you manage to subdue it back then?"

"I... just walked right up to it, reached out my hand, and grabbed it, you know?"

Whish!

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, Yang Jian extended his hand and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist. Although it was only an apparition, in the Fengshen Rankings, their interactions were indistinguishable from reality!

After inspecting for just a moment, Yang Jian’s expression changed drastically, though it quickly returned to the calm, elegant demeanor he usually displayed.

"True Lord, what’s the matter? Did I get poisoned or something? What was with that expression just now?"

Jiang Xiaobai felt anxious. After all, this was an artifact from the Heavenly Court era, a time of countless strange methods. It wasn’t impossible that he’d unwittingly been poisoned.

"Weren’t you quite boastful earlier, ’Heaven is your boss, you’re the second-in-command’? Why are you being so timid now?"

Nearby, General Li burst out laughing: "You won’t be poisoned, it’s just... that artifact has always had a bad temper, and no one has ever been able to approach it. The way you subdued it is indeed quite shocking."

"Could it be that it hadn’t awakened yet, so I was able to capture it easily?"

Jiang Xiaobai replied awkwardly, "No matter what, the artifact is in hand now. Hurry up and make use of its power to revive yourselves so we can hide behind the scenes. Whatever happens next, you big shots can take front stage and handle it."

Yang Jian looked at his shameless demeanor, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seemed the matter wouldn’t be that simple.

When the old Taoist in the yellow robe approached them back then, none of them thought much of it. As long as there was a chance at revival, that was enough.

But, who could have imagined it would turn out like this?

"That old Taoist really has some skill..."

Yang Jian couldn’t help but muse in his heart. Just in that brief moment of touching and inspecting, Yang Jian had gained a rough understanding of the situation.

He was deeply shocked!

His gaze toward Jiang Xiaobai had subtly changed—it became a kind of soul-deep respect.

But Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t noticed this at all. He remained sprawled on the ground, staring at the sky and daydreaming about the life he’d lead once these big shots re-emerged.

Surely it’d be a life of leisure!

With the big shots covering for him, he could settle down with Ao Yan and Qiongyu somewhere quiet, open a small tavern, and enjoy life to the fullest. How wonderful would that be?

As for those bothersome matters, he didn’t care to deal with them anymore.

He failed to see that the big shots around him, after exchanging various looks with Yang Jian, had also changed their expressions while looking at Jiang Xiaobai.

Some of the big shots seemed like they wanted to speak but were stopped by Yang Jian.

Yang Jian simply looked at Jiang Xiaobai, lying there like a salted fish, with complex emotions in his eyes.

"Forget it. It’s better not to expose the truth. Let him keep thinking this way; at least it’ll make him feel better,"

Yang Jian muttered to himself.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai vaguely heard something, abruptly sat up, and asked with a grin, "True Lord, since the artifact is here, when are you all coming out of hiding?"

"Not anytime soon... For years, the power of the Fengshen Rankings has been sustaining our souls. The artifact is the real key to revival."

Yang Jian gazed at the hovering little black crystal without touching it and said calmly: "At the current rate, it’ll take about one to two years."

Pfft!

Jiang Xiaobai shot up and nearly choked on his own saliva.

"One to two years... True Lord, you’re not joking, are you?"

"How am I supposed to survive for one to two years? By then, the extraterrestrials might have wiped out the entire Earth Immortal realm, and I’ll be long dead by then!"

Jiang Xiaobai started grumbling and protesting: "Can’t we negotiate to make it sooner? If nothing else, just send one of you out! You could unleash Wu Shuang, sweep across the realms, and obliterate all the extraterrestrials, wouldn’t that do the trick?"

His tone had turned almost pleading.

He was truly exasperated, having exhausted himself to bring this artifact back, only for the Fengshen Rankings big shots to refuse to step up.

"Things aren’t as simple as you imagine. The Fengshen Rankings must harmonize with heaven and the laws of the universe. Right now, the laws of the universe are only beginning to revive, so the Fengshen Rankings are regaining their power gradually."

Yang Jian smiled gently: "This is already the estimated timeline based on the growth accompanying revival. Unless you can somehow speed up the complete recovery of the heavenly laws."

"How do I do that? Teach me, oh great one!"

Jiang Xiaobai was practically on his knees. All he wanted was to get these figures back in action so he could enjoy life with Ao Yan and Qiongyu, have a few kids, and live carefree.

"Very simple. All you need to do is annihilate those extraterrestrials, purify all the crystalized spatial zones, and it’s done."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai froze on the spot!

Good heavens, was there even a difference between saying this and not saying it?

Of course he’d thought of cleaning up the crystalized spaces. But to what end? Wasn’t it just to get these big shots to deal with the extraterrestrials?

These are Heavenly Court War Gods; how hard could it be to crush a mere extraterrestrial force, seriously?

"Enough, Mr. Jiang, don’t dwell on it. The time is approaching fast. Soon, your bustling days will come to an end."

"Go back to the Earth Immortal realm and make your preparations. The extraterrestrials aren’t particularly difficult to handle."

"Really."
