Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 57 Statement

In the reception room.

Yang Wu and Hong sat opposite each other.

"Yang Wu, I'm glad you're here. Everyone has their own secrets, and you don't have to worry about what I might do to you."

Looking at the young man sitting cross-legged in front of him, Hong smiled. The fact that Yang Wu could come to the headquarters base so quickly showed that the other party still trusted him very much.

The world is more in awe of him, and all forces are in awe of his strength and means, as if they are afraid that he will take away their wealth and power.

Little did he know that what he really cared about was his own martial arts path and the future of humanity on Earth.

"No matter what, Yang Wu, you are also an Earthling. You are able to prove your talent. This is the good fortune of us humans on Earth."

Speaking of this, Hong is very sincere.

He really hopes that more powerful people will emerge from the human side of Earth and then protect humans from the invasion of monsters.

Even……

Counterattack the monster tribe and reclaim the lost land of mankind.

This wish has become stronger day by day since the Great Nirvana. Unfortunately, there are two beast kings restraining the monster tribe, and the overall strength of mankind is too weak.

If a forced counterattack is launched, it may backfire and humanity will suffer heavy losses before the lost land is recovered.

He would never do such a thing as killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of his own.

Unless another powerful person comparable to him and Thor is born among humans, or one of him and Thor breaks through to the stellar level, the monster horde can be completely eliminated.

And now, he saw an opportunity!
Yang Wu had remained silent the entire time, and Hong's frank statement right from the start really caught him off guard.

But on second thought, Hong was once a killer. Although he had cultivated his mind and temper for many years, his character was still decisive and murderous.

"Yang Wu!" Hong said in a low voice.

"Master." Yang Wu looked at Hong.

"Although you are very talented, I still hope you won't let up even a little bit and won't become complacent just because you have achieved a little bit."

Hong took a sip of tea and continued in a low voice, "Your talent as a warrior may not be a big deal in the vast universe."

"But on Earth, at least judging by your current performance, you are higher than both me and Thor!"

He looked up at Yang Wu and said, "Don't look at me and Thor as the two strongest people on Earth, but in the vast universe, we are nothing."

"And we humans on Earth are just the natives of a planet."

"The status of humanity on Earth must be fought for by us, and the fate of humanity on Earth must be controlled by us!"

Hong stared at Yang Wu closely.

Yang Wu nodded heavily: "Understood, Master!"

He was quite convinced of Hong and Lei Shen's character, otherwise he would not have come so readily in response to Hong's summons.

"Yang Wu, this universe... is huge and mysterious."

Hong waved his hand, and a display screen suddenly appeared in the dark reception room. The screen lit up, and the image of the starry sky appeared.

"We humans on Earth are like frogs in a well, completely unaware of the vastness, mystery, and complexity of the sky beyond."

Hong shook his head and continued, "Yang Wu, you have a great opportunity. You should know the level division of warriors in the universe."

Having said that, Hong paused for a moment, then continued on to himself.

"The so-called Warrior, General, and God of War levels on Earth are specially created by me. In fact, in the universe, they are all collectively called Apprentice Level."

"Look at the screen!"

Hong pointed at the screen, and videos suddenly appeared on the screen, continuously showing planetary-level, stellar-level, and even cosmic-level combat performances.

"call……"

Yang Wu took a deep breath. The cosmic-level warrior in the video destroyed a city easily with just a casual blow, and then gradually disappeared.

Even though he already knew the divisions of these realms, what he knew was only a conceptual description, which was not as good as watching a video...

The feeling is obviously different.

"This is a video of one of the very few cosmic-level warriors in my database." Hong watched the video with a hint of yearning in his eyes. "A cosmic-level warrior is capable of physically traversing the universe and engaging in physical combat with interstellar battleships. A cosmic-level warrior could easily wipe out humanity on Earth."

Although Hong's voice was calm, there was a slight tremor in it, but Yang Wu could hardly detect this tremor.

"Of course, that's all in the future, and it's still too far away for you."

As if aware of his mood change, Hong changed the subject without saying a word.

"What threatens us humans now are the countless monsters in the sea."

"In the sea, apart from the countless sea monsters, there are not only a large number of king-level monsters, but also two extremely terrifying beast kings."

"On Earth, every Beast King can only be dealt with by me and the God of Thunder."

Hong sighed and continued, "You are now at the ninth level of apprentice. I believe that with your talent, you will soon be able to break through to the planetary level."

"Remember, the planetary level is just the beginning, not the end." Hong said solemnly.

“Don’t slack off!”

"I understand." Yang Wu nodded.

"Well, your current strength has already reached the level of a high-level war god. Go back and kill two monsters first to upgrade your warrior title."

"I'll make some arrangements for you later!"

"Yes, the owner!"

……

After Yang Wu left.

Next to the reception room, a bald figure in a white robe walked out.
Thor!

"Brother Hong, I can feel that this little guy has hidden strength." Thor looked at Hong with a smile.

"It's human nature to hide one's weaknesses. Everyone has secrets, and there's no need to force them."

Hong said solemnly, "I summoned him this time just to make my stance clear to him, so that he can cultivate with peace of mind and avoid suspicion in the future."

"The external threats facing Earth are too great. If we are accidentally discovered by other forces, we will either be enslaved or destroyed."

"So, I need him to grow up quickly and have strength that surpasses ours so that he can better protect the Earth."

"At the very least, they'll have comparable strength to ours. By then, we'll have some chance of counterattacking the monster tribes and recovering the lost territory of humanity."

"Of course, we can't pin all our hopes on others. We ourselves must reach the star level as soon as possible so that we can protect the Earth."

"Yeah." Thor also nodded slightly.

"Ok?"

Hong, who was still sighing with emotion, was stunned. He stretched out his hand and pointed. On the projected screen in the reception room, an email icon kept flashing.

This is a transfer request from Jiangnan Base City, and there is also a short video attached.

Hong clicked on the video and saw a high-level lord-level armored bull being instantly killed by a single gunshot without even reacting...

"This shot has touched the edge. The opportunity cannot be missed and the accumulation is sufficient." After watching the video, Thor quickly made his comment.

"Ok!"

Hong nodded happily: "Perhaps it won't be long before we humans will once again welcome a new planetary-level powerhouse."

"Haha, congratulations, Brother Hong!"

A planetary-level warrior, in some cases, is powerful enough to influence the overall situation of the war between humans and monsters.

If the number of planetary bodies is large enough, the balance of war will tip towards humans.

"Repatriation request approved!"

"Let Yang Wu take over the position of Supervisory Commissioner temporarily!"
