Chapter 489
Diana had just entered the room. Boss Tang, who was focused on playing with the tea set, spoke without lifting his head. However, Diana clearly didn't understand his bad joke.
At this moment, Superman Clark, sitting opposite Tang Song, held a teacup. Seeing Diana enter, Clark Kent looked up and nodded at her in greeting. But the God Among Men's complexion wasn't good; he looked troubled, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
Diana didn't stand on ceremony. She walked directly to the spot opposite Tang Song, pulled up a chair, and sat down. Tang Song picked up a teapot, lightly tapped the bottom with his finger, and threads of Solar True Fire transformed into rolling crimson flames appeared beneath the teapot. The flames licked the bottom, heating the teapot until it boiled, releasing plumes of White Qi that condensed around the teapot without dispersing.
"Splash!"
He picked up a Tea Cup and placed it on the table. Tang Song lifted the teapot and poured a cup of Green Tea. "Come! Have a taste. This is excellent Essence Nourishing Tea I cultivated using the Dahongpao Mother Plant. Every sip is rich and fragrant, filled with Spiritual Energy. Even in my Great Luo Heaven, I only managed to cultivate one plant, so the yield is limited. Ordinary people wouldn't have this good fortune!"
Diana looked at the Tea Cup steaming with White Qi in Tang Song's hand across the Long Table. She reached out and took it.
The tea Diana had encountered before was mainly Black Tea from a Certain Country, a beverage with a large amount of milk and sugar added. She hadn't really drunk this kind of clear, soup-like Green Tea.
Diana first looked at the color of the tea, then sniffed its aroma, before drinking the tea in one gulp.
Tang Song glanced at Diana, then unhurriedly picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip as well.
As the tea went down, a wisp of Spiritual Energy followed his throat directly into his internal organs. A warm Qi Flow surged through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, nourishing his zangfu organs.
As for Diana, the slightly bitter tea had just entered her mouth when she grimaced, opened her mouth, and exhaled a stream of White Qi: "This tea is a bit bitter!"
Tang Song shook his head: "As we say in my hometown, you're like a mountain pig that can't appreciate fine feed!"
"You're the mountain pig! Don't you think comparing a woman to a pig is very insulting?" Diana rolled her eyes at Tang Song in annoyance.
"You understand Chinese!?" Tang Song looked at Diana with some surprise, casually removing the Tea Cup in front of her and replacing it with a steaming cup of Coffee.
"Is that strange? A lifespan far longer than ordinary people is enough for me to master a lot of knowledge!" Diana said haughtily.
That was true. Once a person lived for a long time with nothing to do, they would always find things to pass the time.
The Olympian Gods of Greece, like the Asgardian Aesir, relied on the increase of their age for their strength to naturally improve, in addition to their divinity inheritance.
Tang Song shook his head. These so-called "gods," apart from not fearing sunlight and not needing to drink blood, had a method of increasing their strength that, from a certain perspective, was somewhat similar to vampires.
"What did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean I'm the one with the best physical condition among those who came this time?"
"Just a joke!" Tang Song shrugged and explained, "Once in the Multiverse, there was an existence who, under the banner of promoting human evolution, selected various living people, dead people, white-collar workers, and nerds (otaku) from different worlds, as well as Hitmen, Mercenaries, Computer Hackers, Martial Arts Experts, and other heaven-defying experts from reality to join. They signed a contract to become Reincarnators and engaged in malicious behavior disguised as missions but actually meant for amusement.
One phrase these veterans often said to newcomers was exactly that!"
In fact, Boss Tang was now also a "Main God." He had also used this Main God System template and rules to form a team, even making it quite successful.
However, most of his Chosen Ones were his own people from within the Tang Group, at most adding a few Agents from the DC Universe.
Heavenly Soldier Valley, in cooperation with Hive Base, was continuously improving the Main God System's enhancement system and exchange system—
With the current technological capability of the Tang Group, they could perfect the pirated version of the Main God System to about seventy or eighty percent. As long as they obtained the Main God component that allowed free travel to other worlds, it would basically be a complete success.
By then, he would also expand the scope of recruitment. Those Agents would be like diligent worker ants in an anthill, exploring new Universes for him, using the cultivation resources of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds to nourish himself and achieve his Way of Da Luo.
Diana didn't have much reaction to the Main God Tang Song mentioned. As a professor of religion and theology, she was well aware of the attitude of those high and mighty gods towards mortals.
In various religions, there were quite a few gods who enjoyed playing with ordinary people, just like Loki, the God of Mischief in Northern Europe. He not only liked to trick mortals but even gods were subject to his pranks.
Tang Song savored his tea, while Diana held her coffee cup. Her gaze swept over the dejected Superman Clark beside her, and she asked in confusion:
"Clark Kent, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
"We can't go back!" Clark Kent looked up at Diana, his eyes filled with confusion.
"What? What do you mean you can't go back?" A bad feeling flashed through Diana's heart. She quickly asked.
"Some unknown incident occurred in the Quantum Realm. We're trapped in this Universe!" Superman Clark thought of his girlfriend and adoptive mother. The God Among Men was dejected and had no desire to speak at all.
"What?" Hearing Clark Kent's words, Diana was also somewhat at a loss. Like Clark Kent, she had places she cared about. For her, Themyscira (Paradise Island) was her home. Originally, she came to this Universe just to save half the universe's life. Now that the matters were resolved, she was suddenly told she couldn't go home? Was it really that sudden?! "Relax, I'm already having people investigate the reason for the Quantum Realm's incident. There will be a result soon!"
Tang Song held his Tea Cup, savoring the clear tea. He naturally knew the reason why the Quantum Realm had changed.
The Quantum Realm becoming a Passage connecting the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds was actually the influence caused by the leakage of power from that Main God broken artifact fragment. Now, that fragment was sealed by him in that Nebula World.
Without the power overflowing from the Main God broken artifact, the altered Quantum Realm naturally returned to its original appearance.
"Do you know something?" As a woman, Diana's keen sixth sense told her that this man definitely knew the inside story.
Hearing Diana's words, Clark Kent also cast a hopeful gaze towards Tang Song.
"That's a secret!" Tang Song smiled at the two of them, the teasing expression on his face making Diana want to punch him directly in the face. Well, if she wasn't considering that she was really no match for this guy.
"Mr. Tang, how long will your investigation take at the fastest? When can we go home?" Clark Kent stared intently at Tang Song, asking impatiently.
"The source that caused this incident has been found, but it will take a little time to resolve a small obstacle!"
Tang Song smiled at Clark Kent and said lightly! "Boom!"
In that Nebula World, Magic City, the 444 Convenience Store was engulfed in a sea of flames amidst a series of explosions.
Xia Dongqing lay on the ground, covered in dust, his ears ringing incessantly. He looked up and saw the familiar white Grand Jeep Drift and slide to a stop in front of him.
"Zhao Li, who exactly did you provoke outside? Am I dreaming, or is this a Hollywood blockbuster? Rocket launcher? Are you sure this is in a Certain Country!?"
Xia Dongqing really felt like he was dreaming. Such a large rocket exploded with a bang right in front of him! That was a rocket! He had only seen them in films before! "Alright, stop talking nonsense! Get in the car and let's bail!"
Zhao Li opened the front passenger seat door, calling out to the chattering Xia Dongqing.
At the same time, he tightly gripped the Soul Annihilation Gun in his hand, staring intently at the two people in the Ruins. He was also incredibly shocked. Since the Human Realm flourished, he hadn't done anything major. At most, he'd traded some Soul Pills with Murong and hooked up with a few married women—
Could it be that the Grievants had come knocking? But he hadn't heard those few young wives say their husbands had overseas backgrounds!
Moreover, that rocket exploding could actually damage his Soul Body. These two guys were clearly also from the Dao! Xia Dongqing scrambled into the car. Zhao Li accelerated, and the Grand Jeep sped away into the distance.
"Are you sure? Who has the thing!?"
Harley Quinn took a box of chewing gum from a burning Shelf, unhurriedly tore open the packaging, and popped it into her mouth. While chewing the gum, she looked at Constantine beside her.
Constantine still held his black compass. "The thing that person is looking for has a very high position/status. Even with this nautical compass, I can only pinpoint the position to this Convenience Store!"
"But I'm sure now, the thing is on those two!" Constantine added, watching the compass needle point in the Direction the two had left.
"They escaped!"
"The entire World has been sealed by that person. Where can they escape to!?"
Outside the Nebula World, Tang Song, dressed in a daoist robe, looked at the faint figures of several people. Above his head, an Auspicious Cloud about an acre in size appeared. Above the Auspicious Cloud, three Golden Lotus Flowers were displayed. Above the Lotus Flowers, they held up a Taiji Diagram, a yellow and golden Grand Bell, and two chilling Sword Implements.
Behind him, in the vast cloud radiance, Gonggong, Zhurong, Rushou, Jumang, Dijiang, Xuanming, and Houtu—all eleven Ancestral Witch Avatars were present except for Zhulong. Killing intent permeated The Void!
This scene caused the few people in the Nebula World to frown tightly.
"Old Dragon King, others are bullying you right at your doorstep, and you're just going to swallow your anger!?"
In The Void, a middle-aged man with a dragon head and human body stood with his hands behind his back. He was the Dragon King of this world,
in charge of the aquatic race of the world. Fifth Young Master Taotie was his son.
"Great God Ying Zhao jests. This little dragon's magic power is low, and I cannot provoke such a powerful one! Great God came from K'un-Lun, did the Ancient God not say anything?"
"Sky Sealing and Earth Locking! No matter what kind of existence, violating the Ancient God's will is a capital offense!!" Ying Zhao looked in the Direction where Tang Song stood in The Void and angrily rebuked.
Before Ying Zhao's voice finished, the Void in front of him suddenly rippled greatly, as if Space had turned into a Water Surface, and a True Dragon was about to break through the water.
The Qi Flow was pushed by the endless ripples, stirring up giant layers of Qi Flow hundreds or thousands of miles high in the high altitude.
Heaven and Earth suddenly darkened.
Rumble! As Ying Zhao's eyelids twitched wildly, a giant palm reached out from the sky.
That palm had no pores and was smooth as jade overall, like a Mountain Peak ten thousand feet high stretching across the Sky!
Sky-shading and sun-blocking, terrifying beyond compare.
"A toad sneezing, such a big mouth!"
An indifferent voice sounded in Ying Zhao and the Dragon King's ears.
"How is that possible?!! This kind of strength, Ancient God, even an Ancient God..."
"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"
Ying Zhao let out a mournful roar, shocked beyond belief.
That giant palm, like a ten-thousand-foot Mountain Peak, continued to extend, its terrifying deterrent power covering tens of thousands of miles of sky.
The wind didn't flow, the clouds didn't move. Within tens of thousands of miles, it was as if light itself was frozen in mid-air! A thousand miles away, the Dragon King, frozen in mid-air, his complexion changed drastically, a hint of terror flashing in his dragon head. There was only one thought in his mind! "Escape!"
"Tang, thank you for saving me!" Diana felt uncomfortable all over when she thought of the scene where she was turned into an ice block.
Tang Song put down his Tea Cup, took a file from under the Long Table, and pushed it in front of Diana: "These are the fees for the treatment these past few days. The total is three billion four hundred sixty-seven million US dollars!"
"Whaaat!?" Diana took the file and looked at the densely packed charge items on it. She was almost numb!
"Are you kidding me? What are these Stem Cell Tissue Regeneration Nutrient Solutions? The price is actually a hundred times that of gold! I seriously suspect this is a black shop!"
Diana couldn't help but complain.
"In cosmic civilization, gold isn't worthless, but in terms of value, it really doesn't rank high. If calculated in Galactic Credits, the value of this nutrient fluid is enough to buy a normal Tier 1 Warship! What kind of price do you think an alien warship capable of interstellar travel could sell for, given Earth's technology? I remember a Federation F22 costs over two billion US dollars!"
Tang Song picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Clark Kent. "In the days you were unconscious, you consumed over two hundred pounds of Nutrient Fluid alone. Three billion four hundred sixty-seven million US dollars, and this is still a friendship price I gave you because we're friends!"
"I don't have money!" Diana looked at the thick billing statement in her hand and gave up completely!
"No money is fine, then work to pay off debt!" Tang Song looked at Diana with a smile, his eyes like a big gray wolf looking at a plump little white rabbit! "I saw you were plotting against me earlier!"
Diana gave Tang Song a disdainful gaze: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to sleep with me?"
The poor Clark Kent beside them shrank his neck, listening to Diana's bold words. However, his eyes darted back and forth between the two, wearing an expression of someone watching a show.
"What are you thinking?" Tang *gentleman* Song heavily placed the Tea Cup in his hand onto the Long Table, righteously scolding Diana's shameless behavior.
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
Diana scanned Tang Song up and down, her eyes revealing a meaningful expression.
"Alright, let's talk about serious matters! I do need you two to help me with some things!" Tang Song waved his hand, and a Mirror of Circular Light three feet square appeared in front of Diana and Clark Kent: "I have a star map here. The Habitable Planets recorded in it are all civilizations in a state of ignorance. The Gods there take pleasure in Blood Sacrifice, and our poor alien compatriots live in dire straits. You two are idle anyway, and you have nothing to do during this time, so you might as well put your remaining heat to use!"
