Chapter 3544 Similar Neglect

Zhang Xuezhou watched a battle involving the new emperor, but in reality, time did not flow in a one-to-one fashion.

His gaze swept over Grian, who stood there with an obsequious expression, and then he glanced at the watch Grian was wearing. Only five minutes had passed.

The Qi Luck Bead he was holding had disappeared. Zhang Xuezhou felt that everything ended after the Qi Luck Bead was absorbed into the Qi Circulation Space, but he vaguely felt that something had been changed.

This change was so subtle that Zhang Xuezhou almost failed to notice it.

"This change didn't affect my strength, but it seems to have made me more comfortable in the Omega Alliance!"

Zhang Xuezhou is a citizen of the Red Alliance. In the Omega Alliance, he is a foreigner. This is not only due to the difference in his physical appearance, but also because Zhang Xuezhou does not identify himself as an Omega citizen.

This was not the land that gave him birth and raised him, so Zhang Xuezhou had no particular attachment to it, but at this moment, he felt a rare sense of concern.

The Aomeijia Alliance is the first major power bordering the Qin-Meng continent, and in the minds of Zhang Xuezhou and others, it is also the first line of defense against Qin-Meng invasion.

Having this understanding of the defensive line means that the high-level leaders, including Zhang Xuezhou, believe that the Aomeijia Alliance can be consumed or even abandoned, in order to reduce the impact of Qin Meng and minimize the damage to the Red Alliance.

Zhang Xuezhou used to think this kind of perception was normal and practical, but his thoughts were subtly influenced and changed.

"If we lose a country today, we will lose another tomorrow. When the nest is broken, no egg remains intact. Among all the countries, only I can form alliances. When disaster strikes, we must join hands to deal with it together!"

The scope of the struggle between Qin Meng and the half-step ascendant is hard to say, but it is certain that the world will be assimilated by Qin Meng.

Zhang Xuezhou was unsure how the origin of the world would continue to reshape it, making it difficult for humans to adapt and turning it into a paradise for all kinds of wild beasts. However, the Sequencers could behead alien beasts to maintain the human living environment.

The Red Alliance continuously produces Seventh Sequence individuals, giving them the confidence to fight against all kinds of ferocious beasts. Other countries have only a handful of Seventh Sequence individuals, and they not only provide combat assistance but also offer technical support.

"Committee Member Zhong!"

Zhang Xuezhou called for Zhong Rang, who had come upon hearing the news.

While listening to Zhong Rang's introduction of some of the cooperation details, Zhang Xuezhou also carefully perceived the cognitive changes brought about by the Qi Luck Bead.

“Professor Zhang, is there some special mystery to your sacrificial ritual? I’ve been watching you from a distance, but every time I look at you for a few seconds, I ignore you and then shift my gaze to Speaker Grian!”

Grean's current prestige is ridiculously strong. The content of Grean's filming and recording in Qinmeng has been made public. Coupled with the retreat of the spider swarm in the northern part of the Omega Alliance, the people of Omega regard Grean as the leader who drove away the spider swarm. Even the ice and snow disaster caused by the sudden change in climate is regarded as a blessing from heaven.

There's not much to say about establishing communications between the Omega Alliance and the Red Alliance; the highest authority issued a firm order, and everything else was simply a matter of obedience and execution. The transition went very smoothly.

Luo Gaogao and others are currently conducting inspections and maintenance across various parts of the Aomeijia Alliance, thereby continuously extending the communication network towards Qinmeng.

Everything went smoothly, and Zhong Rang communicated quickly.

When the presentation was coming to a close, Zhong Rangcai quickly followed up with questions.

He shook his head vigorously, only to find that Zhang Xuezhou, who was standing in front of him, suddenly disappeared from his sight. He had to concentrate again to see Zhang Xuezhou clearly, who was right in front of him.

"You've ignored me?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked in doubt, then looked at Grian.

Without Zhang Xuezhou needing to say anything, Grean already fully understood what Zhang Xuezhou meant.

“Professor Zhang, your brilliance is as dazzling as the sun and stars in the sky. I only have eyes for your brilliance and have never ignored you,” Grian exclaimed.

"Sycophant!"

Zhong Rang muttered a complaint. He and Grian were clearly quite familiar with each other, and he could even complain about Grian.

"Daniel, come here!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved to Daniel, who was fifty meters away, and Daniel immediately ran over excitedly.

"Professor Zhang, you are like Proxima Centauri I and Proxima Centauri II. Your gentle light shines upon our family. Our family will follow your lead and would never dare to ignore you!"

Daniel is Grean's son, and Zhang Xuezhou had previously had some exchanges with him.

Upon learning of Zhang Xuezhou's inquiry, Daniel's explanation was similar to that of Grian, but his words were somewhat incoherent, making him seem like a miniature sycophant.

"Committee Member Zhu, please come here for a moment!"

When Zhang Xuezhou invited Zhu Bufan again, Zhu Bufan's account was almost identical to Zhong Rang's, so Zhang Xuezhou called people to make a comparison again.

Are we too old?

Omega and the Red Alliance people were clearly divided into two categories. Zhong Rang and others who were familiar with Zhang Xuezhou would feel a vague sense of neglect, while Grian's team were fanatical towards Zhang Xuezhou, doing whatever he pointed to, falling into extreme blind obedience and trust.

Zhong Rang began to wonder for the first time if everyone was too old and their minds were getting muddled.

Where is Ning Que?

"If there weren't so many people around, I might also feel neglected, which is such a strange feeling!"

"Call someone who doesn't know me over here!"

"Professor, you look so kind. Seeing you is like seeing my grandfather!"

"A kind grandfather?"

……

As more people verify their identities, the situation becomes more complicated.

The Grean team showed fervor towards Zhang Xuezhou, which was normal given the family's influence and influence. Others who had never met Zhang Xuezhou felt a strange sense of kinship and did not seem to overlook him.

Zhong Rang and the others would occasionally ignore Zhang Xuezhou's presence. Even though they could see Zhang Xuezhou, they would unconsciously pretend not to see him.

This situation did not exist before, but only appeared after Zhang Xuezhou's sacrificial ceremony.

It wasn't until Zhong Rang and the others accompanied Zhang Xuezhou on an Airbus test flight, and the Airbus flew away from the territory of the Omega Alliance, that everyone's senses returned to normal.

"I seem to have become somewhat like Hongjun, neglecting and forgetting those around me, and yet the use of the Luck Bead in the sacrificial rites of the Aomeijia Alliance has exempted the Aomeijia people from forgetting me?"

Zhong Rang, a veteran powerhouse of the Red Alliance, possessed far greater awareness and vigilance than younger people. After understanding the situation, a simple reminder allowed Zhang Xuezhou to quickly grasp the subtle changes in his body.

After repeated testing, Zhang Xuezhou felt that this situation was beyond his comprehension.

“This didn’t happen when I was in the Thousand Islands Alliance. No one ignored my presence. And Zhong Rang and the others returned to normal after leaving the Aomeijia Alliance. It seems that this kind of neglect only occurs in the Aomeijia Alliance…”

Zhang Xuezhou struggled to understand his own situation.

However, Huang Daoxian, who is skilled in magic, is among their followers, so asking him might provide the answer.

If Huang Daoxian cannot discern the truth, Zhang Xuezhou can only try to contact Xuanming after eliminating the influence of the Void Heaven Palace to see if he can find the answer.
