The immortal is beside me
Chapter 128: Master, Venerable
Chapter 128: Master, Venerable
"Someone's looking for you?"
These words made the commander-in-chief slightly stunned. He opened his mouth to ask something, but after waiting for a while, the Fire Saint in front of him just looked at the sky and had no intention of speaking anymore, so he had to give up.
Among the many strategic levels, the Fire Saint is the most mysterious one.
In China's database, the Fire Saint's file was classified as top secret, on par with the Peach Blossom Spring. Even his real name was unknown to many. Furthermore, he was aloof from society. Aside from the occasional battle, his public appearances were few and far between, further reducing the chances of high-ranking officials getting to know him.
His personal circumstances were shrouded in mystery, but his strength and achievements were terrifyingly clear.
The limited information shows that the Fire Saint had just been promoted to the God Transformation Realm more than ten years ago, and was not yet eight hundred years old. Among the group of cultivators at the God Transformation Realm, he could only sit at the children's table.
Despite being so young, he has achieved an astonishing record in just over a decade. In his first battle after being promoted to the strategic level, he resolved the invasion of foreign Allah believers. After that, he shattered the belief in Western gods many times. Recently, he single-handedly suppressed the riot of millions of gods in Fuso.
If the situation of countries around the world is simplified into a game of cards, then the Fire Saint is undoubtedly a pair of trump cards in the hands of China. Just mentioning his name can make countless people tremble with fear.
This was certainly due to his amazing talent as a cultivator, but as his title indicated, his fame was established more from the magical power of fire that he possessed.
The commander-in-chief looked up and saw only patches of dark land, which looked like deep black caves under the moonlight.
Those were the embers of the burning flames, distributed within a radius of dozens of kilometers, emitting wisps of white smoke.
This scene reminded him of an archaeological discovery: it was the remains of a village 3000 years ago, destroyed by a large volcanic eruption.
When the ruins of the village were excavated, people could see countless corpses wrapped in volcanic ash. Seeing the frozen expressions on the faces of those corpses, it was a kind of despair in the face of absolute power, unable to resist and unable to escape. Even after three thousand years, it was still shocking.
And now the horror of great power appeared before his eyes again, but this great power did not come from nature, but from a specific person and a supreme magical power called Boundless True Fire.
In just a few dozen minutes, the grassland cavalry, which could not be harmed by tactical missiles, did not even leave any wreckage. I believe that when facing the falling real fire, the despair they felt was far greater than facing a volcanic eruption.
It truly is the pinnacle of supernatural power. The commander sighed inwardly.
Looking at China today, the Fire Saint might not be able to look down upon other powerful beings in terms of individual cultivation alone. However, simply by cultivating the Infinite True Fire to the highest level, he was worthy of being called a prodigy unseen in a century.
The footsteps beside him suddenly stopped, and the Fire Saint who was originally walking side by side with him suddenly stopped in place, looking forward.
The fighting had just ended, and everyone had retreated to a defensive base on the border to rest. The two of them were patrolling outside this base. A temporary Red Cross tent had been set up outside the base to house the wounded brought in from the battlefield.
Following the Fire Saint's gaze, he caught a glimpse of a group of unusually injured individuals: dozens in total. While they appeared to have few external injuries, they lay there with vacant eyes, stiff expressions, and little reaction to external stimuli, typical symptoms of spiritual damage. "What caused these injuries?" the Fire Saint suddenly asked.
"It was a trick used by the people of the Eternal Heaven," the commander replied. "About thirty minutes before your arrival, a surprise attack team broke through the edge of the defensive formation and, through unknown means, defeated the defenders. These are the people you see now."
He added respectfully, "Thanks to you, Fire Saint, who arrived in time to annihilate the enemy's attacking forces, the reserve troops were able to fill the gap in the protective formation. These wounded were also able to receive immediate medical treatment."
The Fire Saint listened to him without any joy on his face. He just looked at the wounded, with a hint of depth in his eyes.
He suddenly spoke: "The means that harmed these people did not come from Changshengtian."
This made the commander-in-chief shudder: "May I ask what you mean?"
"Eternal Heaven's authority is 'conquest.' He and his people always use the most direct means of attacking head-on, and would never resort to covert tactics like soul infestation."
The words were filled with unquestionable certainty, and the commander-in-chief couldn't help but ponder for a moment before asking, "You know them so well. Have you fought them before?"
"No. The last time they came, I didn't have the skills to fight them." Fire Saint shook his head slightly, "But I have seen them many times. I have seen them fight with Master."
The commander-in-chief beside him was slightly startled. When the Fire Saint said this, his tone did not fluctuate much, but at a certain moment, he seemed to see that the powerful man's expression fluctuated slightly, becoming like a child.
This was the second time he had seen the Fire Saint express such a wave of emotion. The last time was not long ago, when the Yingzhou Environmental Sanitation Bureau branch reported a message under the name of the strategic-level "Divine Eagle" stating that they had found a powerful cultivator named Zhou Tong, suspected to be the Fire Saint's master.
At that time, the Fire Saint was still in the midst of suppressing the Fusang gods. They waited a long time before finally finding a chance to inform him of this news. According to the specialists who served him, that night the Fire Saint sat alone on the top of a tall building overlooking the sea, silently gazing at the distant ocean, and remained there all night.
According to the established plan, he wanted to return to see his old friends before the Fusang operation was completed. However, just as the Fusang operation was completed, the people of Changsheng Emperor were approaching the territory, so the established plan had to be shelved.
At that time, the Fire Saint said: "I have inherited the teachings of my master and am now carrying out his will. But now that the external enemies have not been pacified, I cannot face seeing you again."
When this news reached the ears of the people in the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, it caused quite a debate. Many people rushed to look through the database, trying to dig deeper into the connection between the two. However, due to the confidentiality of the Fire Saint Archives, they found very few clues and had to give up.
Regardless, being called Master by a strategic-level expert was definitely a major event. If it weren't for the threat of Changshengtian, this matter would have already been the top priority at the Beijing headquarters.
But right now.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble, as if a vast army were galloping down from the horizon. The commander-in-chief raised his monitor, which was flashing a continuous red warning light.
"Report, urgent enemy situation!" A nervous voice boomed over the headset radio. "Satellite data indicates the enemy's route of movement has changed. Several groups of troops that originally broke in from the west have changed direction and are converging toward the northeast!"
