Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 67 Persuasion

After careful consideration, Qin Mu decided to send Councilor Jia Yi, the strongest member of the military, to City 023 for a face-to-face meeting.

The reason for choosing City 023 is that Qin Mu intends to let Councilor Jia Yi see the tamed fire giant lizard with his own eyes.

Seeing it with your own eyes is far more impactful than hearing words.

Qin Mu dialed Councilor Jia's number.

"Hello, Councilor Jia, this is Qin Mu."

The communication was quickly established, and a middle-aged man's voice came through.

"Qin Mu, is there any emergency?"

His voice sounded tired, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

"Associate Jia, there are indeed some emergencies."

I'm currently in city 023, and I hope to meet you here.

Additionally, I would like to request that you temporarily halt the military's reconnaissance teams in City 023.

Although he sensed that Councilor Jia Yi seemed very tired, Qin Mu did not hesitate to state the purpose of his call.

"Is the strange behavior of the City Monster No. 023 related to you?"

"The monsters in the sea have been making frequent moves lately, and there is a high possibility of a Level 1 monster tide. I need to be on high alert!"

Representative Jia Yi sounded somewhat surprised.

"It's related to me! I've broken through to the planetary level of a mentalist and tamed a king-level monster. I have some plans regarding the monster and would like to discuss them with you in person."

Qin Mu answered in a deep voice.

"You broke through? I understand! I'm coming right now!"

Representative Jia Yi's voice immediately became more energetic, and his tone became excited.

Shortly after the communication was disconnected, the two military reconnaissance teams in City 023 ceased operations and withdrew from the city.

Half an hour later, a blood-red, disc-shaped fighter jet flew in from a distance.

A lean, middle-aged man in combat gear flew out of a fighter jet and landed on the abandoned building where Qin Mu was.

"Qin Mu, you've broken through?"

Jia Yi's face was flushed, and he was in high spirits.

There are only four powerhouses who have surpassed the level of War God and are loyal to China. If what Qin Mu said is true, then it means that China will have a fifth powerhouse who has surpassed the level of War God.

Moreover, he is the first mentalist to surpass the level of a War God.

The Chinese military has no mentalists who surpass the level of a War God!

The miniature planet in Qin Mu's sea of ​​consciousness emitted a magnetic field, causing his body to float in the air.

Short spears flew out from behind, turning into streaks of light that pierced towards a building not far away.

Under the attack of the short spears, the entire building collapsed instantly, turning into ruins.

Jia Yi looked down at an auxiliary optical computer on his wrist, which displayed the detected information.

The Chinese military has also unearthed many relics, and as the strongest in the military, they naturally have auxiliary quantum computers.

"Attack Power: 77% of Planetary Level 1 (Psychic)"

Looking at the information on the auxiliary computer, Jia Yi's face immediately broke into a very happy smile, and he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, 77% for a first-order planet!"

That's right, it's 77%. With the feedback from the swarm, Qin Mu's power is constantly increasing.

After calming down for a while, Jia Yi felt much better and asked.

"You said you tamed a King-level monster and have a plan regarding it. What is that plan?"

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Mu waved his hand, and a giant fire lizard, over a hundred meters long, burst forth from the ground.

"roar--"

The fire giant lizard roared to the sky, and upon seeing Qin Mu, it slowly lowered its head, signifying submission.

Amidst the roar, numerous monsters appeared around them, kneeling down towards Qin Mu's location as if in worship.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jia Yi was deeply moved.

He had seen many king-level monsters, and had even killed more than one with his own hands.

This is the first time I've seen a king-level monster that submits to humans.

"I have had some special opportunities and have some special skills in animal training."

Not just this one King-level monster, I currently control millions of monsters, and that number is constantly increasing.

Therefore, the plan is to begin a war against the monsters in some places, and even throughout the country, until all the land in the country is restored.

In this process, I hope to obtain the cooperation of the military.

Qin Mu said after careful consideration.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi's breathing became heavy, his eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice.

"A special opportunity? Is it some kind of inheritance within the ruins?"

"Reclaim all the land within the entire country? Do you know how many monsters there are in the entire country, and how many of them are King-level monsters?"

"With your current strength, at only the first level of the planetary realm, you're probably not strong enough to achieve that!"

"That's tens of billions of monsters, with at least dozens of king-level monsters!"

Reclaiming the entire nation's land! This was something he had always dreamed of!

These lands were lost before his very eyes, and cities were conquered by monsters.

But he was powerless and could only lead the surviving people to build base cities and retreat into them.

This is a pain that will forever remain in the hearts of his generation.

"I understand, this is certainly not something that can be accomplished overnight, I will take it one step at a time."

Qin Mu nodded, his expression serious and earnest.

Seeing Qin Mu's serious expression, Jia Yi also became serious.

Instead of asking Qin Mu what his plans were, Jia Yi asked a question.

Are you aware of the current global situation?

Qin Mu frowned, having some guesses about what Jia Yi wanted to say.

Seeing that Qin Mu did not speak, Jia Yi stared into Qin Mu's eyes with a serious expression.

"Globally, on land alone, there are hundreds of billions of monsters! Hundreds of them are king-level monsters!"

The ocean teems with billions of monsters, including thousands of king-level monsters! And there are also two great beast kings.

"And humans? You've also joined the War God Palace. There are a total of 3513 War Gods on Earth."

There are several hundred high-level War Gods in total. Among them, there are 52 council members and five chairpersons who surpass the War God level. This is the entirety of humanity's strength.

"In the event of a full-scale war against the monsters, humanity's overall strength is far from sufficient to defeat them."

"The reason we can maintain a relatively peaceful relationship with the monsters, besides the ultra-high frequency laser cannon, is the deterrent effect of the two powerful figures, Hong and Thor, on the King-level monsters."

"Everyone is trying to avoid total war. Even Hong, the world's strongest man, would despair when faced with countless monsters!"

Are you prepared for a full-scale war?

"Even if you control millions or tens of millions of monsters, it won't be enough in the face of this situation!"

To wage a full-scale war, you need to be better prepared and stronger!

Even more powerful than Hong!

Otherwise, it's best not to start a war lightly.

Jia Yi's words were somewhat earnest. He certainly supported Qin Mu's idea; he wanted to reclaim the land he had lost more than anyone else.

But the overall strength of humanity is far inferior to that of the monsters!

This left him no choice but to consider it carefully.

"Once the war begins, the other major human powers, even the Hongdu, may come to stop you!"

Because humanity is not yet ready.

Faced with such pressure, even we Chinese would probably be unable to withstand it.

When the topic turned to Hong, Jia Yi's expression became solemn.

Hong not only has absolute deterrent power against monsters, but also poses a great threat to the major human forces.

Hong's strength is vastly different from that of other planetary-level powerhouses on Earth.

From the time of the Great Nirvana to the present, Hong's strength and status have always been undisputed to be supreme!

He alone is worth a powerful nation, or even more powerful!

Even the five great nations, as powerful as they are, must be cautious when facing Hong.

Fortunately, Hong's mind was entirely focused on cultivation and the path of a martial artist.

and so……

He was elevated to a pedestal, and countries all over the world cooperated with him, actively helping him promote the Extreme Martial Arts School.

He founded the War God Palace and became the First Speaker. Humanity built a base city specifically for him, a base city that even King-level monsters dared not invade!

He made a pact with the land monsters and the sky monsters, ending the all-out war between humanity and the monsters!

This is Hong's status!

If Qin Mu were to start a full-scale war against the monsters, what would this number one person on Earth do?

Is he in favor or opposed?

This is a problem that Jia Yi has to consider.

In Jia Yi's view, Qin Mu's talent was beyond doubt. In just three months, he went from a quasi-martial artist to a powerhouse surpassing the level of a war god.

It's normal for such a genius to have opportunities and ideas!

But I was still too hasty.

"flood?"

Qin Mu shook his head.

Although his strength has increased dramatically, he still doesn't have enough confidence to face Hong.

Convincing Hong won't be easy; ultimately, it comes down to a matter of strength.

Hong, without a doubt, also wanted to end the chaos and kill all the monsters.

However, he had his own considerations. The development of the swarm had reached a bottleneck, and it was almost unrealistic to continue developing it secretly.

When the swarm reaches tens of millions or even more, it becomes impossible for the insect swarm to remain hidden.

The current swarm contains 1600 million insects, excluding a small number of worker insects.

The weakest of the other combat units are all high-level beast soldiers, and there are also millions of beast general-level monsters, 892 lord-level monsters, and one king-level monster.

Needless to say, his own strength is unmatched. Apart from Hong and Thor, who are not confident, no one else is a match for him.

It's like in a jungle, an ant can hide, but what about a tiger?

Seeing Jia Yi's expression, Qin Mu knew that without offering some substantial support, Jia Yi wouldn't dare to casually say he supported him.

The strength of a first-tier planet and a king-level monster, the Flame Giant Lizard, were not enough to convince him.

"Councilor Jia, I know Hong is very powerful, but I'm probably more powerful than you think."

Qin Mu didn't argue; strength is the best way to convince people.

whoosh-

Qin Mu's body hovered under control, and with the support of his mental power and the propulsion of the magnetic field, he suddenly accelerated and flew rapidly into the distance.

"Speed ​​2523 meters per second!"

Looking at the data on the auxiliary quantum computer, Jia Yi was shocked. This speed far exceeded that of second and third-tier planetary experts, and was probably already comparable to Hong and Thor.

After circling around, Qin Mu flew back.

Short spears flew out of Qin Mu's backpack.

"Sky-Piercing Cone! Go!"

Fifty-six short spears converged into a cone shape in the air, spinning at high speed and transforming into a streak of light that continuously blasted down several tall buildings.

"This attack!"

Staring intently at the auxiliary quantum computer, Jia Yi was somewhat frightened.

"This attack has reached the sixth level of the planetary realm! No, it's even higher than the sixth level of the planetary realm!"

Qin Mu hovered and flew in front of Jia Yi and said.

"Unfortunately, my weapon is too poor. If I had a telekinetic weapon, I would be even stronger!"

No problem, at most a month, my strength will reach the second level of the planetary level, and my strength will improve.

Even if it were Hong or Thor, I wouldn't be afraid.

Furthermore, the number of monsters under my command is constantly increasing, and I will gradually wage war against them. I am fully confident!

Seeing Qin Mu's confident expression, Jia Yi suddenly burst into wild laughter!

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

"Finally! Finally! Our China has finally produced a true genius! No, a true powerhouse!"

"Over the years, the military has excavated many relics, and in one of them, we once found a telekinetic weapon."

It's just that we don't have a planetary-level mentalist, so it's been sealed away!

I'll send that weapon to you!

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu's face lit up with joy, as he hadn't expected to gain such a reward.

Sure enough, the military also has quite a few hidden treasures.

"Hahahaha—"

"Hahahaha—"

Jia Yi was still smiling; no one knew how much pressure he was under.

Over the years, as the strongest person in the military, how could he not be under great pressure?

It should be noted that there are five councilors in the War God Palace.

None of these five speakers belong to China!

Especially with the emergence of self-healing drugs recently, which force isn't envious? Even the Limitless Martial Arts Academy has sent word!

But he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Now that all the pressure has suddenly been relieved, how could he not be happy?

"Go for it! The military will fully cooperate with your operation!"

I spent a long time writing this chapter, revising and editing it repeatedly. It's 3:30 in the morning and I'm still not entirely satisfied with it, but I'll leave it at that for now.
