Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Help him... okay."

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment and said, "He must swear an oath to me. If he really turns against me in the future, then please don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, he gently clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the old man. This elder had been kind to him, and even though escorting the Flying Immortal Master to Flying Immortal County was extremely dangerous, he still agreed.

This is not only helping the Flying Immortal Sect, but also helping himself and the entire Tianyuan World.

Gaining another peerless Dao Lord-level combatant is of extraordinary significance. Combined with himself, even if a full-scale war breaks out with the imperial dynasty and the territory is destroyed by thousands of miles, he will not have to worry about the rear positions being left unprotected.

"Thank you, little friend."

The old man clasped his hands in a fist salute and returned the salute deeply.

"You're too kind, senior. You are older than me, and I am ashamed to accept such a generous gift." Jiang Mo quickly helped the old man up.

"Whatever, whatever."

"Words of gratitude, no matter how many, seem inadequate; nothing beats a tangible gift."

"I bestow upon you the twelve supreme secret techniques of the Flying Immortal Sect today, young friend, hoping they may be of some help to you."

The old man extracted a portion of his memories, which coalesced into a crystalline light that appeared on the fingertips of his right hand, gesturing for Jiang Mo to step forward, ready to impart the knowledge to him.

“This is the foundation of our religion. Senior, if you give it to me, I fear it may be inappropriate.”

"I like you very much, junior. It's just a pity that we didn't live in the same era. Otherwise, I would definitely take you as the true disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect."

“Take it. The outside world is extremely dangerous and impossible to guard against. Moreover, the power of the Book of Time will be limited. I know that you have cultivated the ‘Boundless Realms’ of the Void-Stepping Hall, and you also have the ‘Past Body’ of my Flying Immortal Sect by your side. If you encounter a crisis, you will have the opportunity to escape immediately and save your life.”

The old man patiently persuaded Jiang Mo, and finally convinced him to accept the money.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will remember it forever."

........

On the same day, across the distant ocean, in North America, in New York.

Here stand one dark-style skyscraper after another, with strangely shaped and huge metal flying vehicles appearing in the sky above the city, while below, the bustling scene remains, with the blood-red sunset enveloping the entire city, full of people and vehicles.

After experiencing the crisis of the gods, the crisis of the omnics, and the crisis of the supernatural beings, the order of the empire once faced collapse.

Later, a special race from the local area revived from within the secret realm and took over the entire country with absolute power. They reached some kind of cooperation with the human leadership and summoned back the artificial intelligence that had been nearly extinct in the past, and put it to use.

Today, the city is ruled by the Dark Spirits, one of the five major native powers in North America.

They are a species highly similar to humans, with dark skin, extremely skilled in witchcraft, and possess terrifying intelligence. Especially with the blessing of artificial intelligence life forms, they have achieved unprecedented and unparalleled successes in various research techniques in the field of witchcraft in the past.

Unlike other extraordinary species, the Dark Spirits are a branch of the human race, and they themselves acknowledge this identity; otherwise, they would not cooperate with the nations on the mainland to help maintain order in their vast territory.

For the human elites who are dominated by demons, this kind of tactic is all too familiar. The Dark Spirit Clan is not much different from the demon race of the past. They simply want to act like parasites, attaching themselves to the lifeline of the empire, sucking its blood, and reaping all kinds of abundant resources.

After six or seven years, the once world's number one empire has gradually rebuilt its order and entered a special era where cyberpunk, witchcraft, magic, and superpowers coexist.

Humans still outwardly rule their continental cities, but in each prosperous capital, there are usually several high-ranking Dark Elf clansmen stationed there, controlling everything behind the scenes.

Their strength far surpasses that of Level 5 Awakeners, and they are further aided by AI servants, thus achieving an unimaginable level of control over the city.

It was late afternoon, around 7 p.m., in downtown New York City.

In a conference room atop one of the tallest buildings, the room was resplendent in gold and lavishly decorated. Around a conference table several meters long sat high-ranking human officials from the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, who oversaw the order of New York, as well as several councilors and high-ranking officials.

At the same time, five artificial intelligence beings dressed in white research trench coats were also present. Their appearance was identical to that of humans, and they were indistinguishable to the naked eye.

At the center of the seating area were four elderly Dark Spirits responsible for overseeing New York. They were slightly taller than the humans present, all over two meters tall, and wore black and gold robes, resembling medieval nobles.

However, these creatures from the secret realm, who should have been composed and at ease, had rather strange expressions on their faces.

The highest-ranking Dark Spirit Elder, Baiwen, held a report jointly submitted by the artificial intelligence life form Astran, the current chief scientist of the Empire, and Elvis, the current director of the Supernatural Abilities Bureau (the first awakened person in the new era to advance to level 5). The more he read the contents, the more his brows furrowed.

On either side of the old man were three other Dark Spirits of similar age. Their expressions gradually underwent subtle changes, as if they were shocked and also wary.

"Is the source of this information reliable?"

Berwin's gaze reached the end of the report. He slowly put down the projected virtual document in his hand and asked the high-ranking humans present a question.

"The information has been confirmed. Their advice is that, before the situation escalates, we, the creatures on the surface, should concentrate all our efforts on eliminating the hidden dangers underground."

Elvis from the Superpowers Bureau spoke expressionlessly, his voice mechanical and cold, making no attempt to hide his impatience. His power was subtly comparable to that of several Dark Spirit elders, making him the most powerful human present.

His gaze kept sweeping over the several AI beings on the other side of the conference table, seemingly ready to chop these monsters that were disrupting order into pieces at any moment.

Faced with Elvis's hostility, those AI intelligent life forms disguised as humans ignored it, showing no fear whatsoever, sitting firmly as if on a mountain, and even looking at it with a provocative smile.

"So... what they mean is that the power of our race and your country alone is not enough?"

Berwin rested his chin on his hand, adopting a playful and scrutinizing posture, as he questioned Elvis's opinion.

"not enough."

"According to information revealed by a friend of mine, the monsters that forced those races to leave this star were cultivators from the East, or more precisely, the Masters who stood at the top, and the extraordinary creatures that lived there, also known as Demon Kings."

"Your Excellency Berwin, all I can exercise is the right to report. As for whether to send this report to other countries and unite all forces to eliminate the threat in advance, the decision is in your hands."

Ivers, unfazed by the old man's sharp and dignified gaze, spoke calmly and slowly.

In his view, since the world is already in such chaos, what difference does it make if the storm comes even more thoroughly?

Chapter 510 A New Race Annihilated in its Cradle

"Are you threatening me?"

Berwin glanced sideways at Elvis, clearly displeased with the human boy.

There's an old saying in the East that I quite like: "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext."

Elvis shrugged, adopting a helpless, mocking expression, unwilling to argue further with this person.

“Mr. Berwin, I think you have misunderstood. Director Elvis did not mean that.”

Soon, a gray-haired, rather overweight member of parliament stepped forward and defended his colleague with reason and evidence.

He placed his left hand on his chest in a respectful gesture, bowed deeply to the old man, and said respectfully and cautiously:

"I just think that this message was not only sent to us, but other countries may also have received it. If we mobilize first, the losses in the subsequent war will be minimized as much as possible."

"Oh? Is that so....."

After pondering for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons, Bai Wen turned to look at the scientists of the artificial intelligence life form and asked for their best advice.

“Mr. Berwin, I think the ideas of Director Elvis and Congressman Lalda can be adopted.”

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, their technological civilization is far superior to ours. These reports were sent to us and have been stationed in the city ever since, but due to some unknown technological shielding technology, we have been unable to find them even after conducting a thorough search."

The speaking AI life form is a middle-aged person with short, wine-red hair and a cold face, created through gene editing.

His name is Anyes, a second-generation life form created by Astram, the progenitor of first-generation artificial intelligence life. With the support of the Empire's extensive network equipment and various quantum supercomputers, he possesses even more extreme computing power and more comprehensive analytical capabilities.

Anyes's contributions to decision-making in the various urban construction and imperial order restoration projects in recent years have been particularly important, making him one of the most valued artificial intelligence beings of the Dark Elf race.

Upon hearing his report, Bai Wen was quite surprised, and his brows furrowed slightly:

"Really, we can't find a trace of them at all? Elvis, didn't you guys help?"

The Empire's Supernatural Abilities Bureau is controlled by humans, while the Academy of Sciences is controlled by artificial intelligence life forms. The two sides are like oil and water and have always been at odds. In many cases, when their respective areas of responsibility interact or connect, conflicts and contradictions often break out.

Bai Wen could understand that the search methods for artificial intelligence life forms were limited, but he could not understand the incompetence, perfunctoriness, and even the complete lack of countermeasures of the superpowered agents of the Superpower Bureau.

If that's the case, then it really wouldn't mind purging a group of mediocre agents as a deterrent.

"found."

"It's no use."

"The other party will only show up when they want to contact us; we can't do anything else that's beyond our capabilities."

Elvis spoke slowly and deliberately, and then raised his hand to his assistant, who immediately handed him a stack of high-definition photos. He then tossed the photos forward, and a dozen or so photos flew along the table and glided to Berwin's desk.

"The appearance of the people who communicated with us is all here, Lord Berwin. If you are able, you might as well help us instead of criticizing us. You have no need to doubt our loyalty to the Empire in the face of such invaders with unclear motives."

"snort...."

Bai Wen didn't say anything more. He slowly took the stack of photos and began to examine them one by one. What came into his amber eyes were several mysterious creatures that looked exactly like humans, with heterochromatic vertical pupils. Judging from their appearance alone, there was one female creature and two male creatures.

Berwin imprinted the faces of the three people deep in his heart, then took a gentle breath and exhaled a soothing breath. Immediately afterward, his eyes closed slightly, and the pattern on his brow, resembling an altar surrounding a full moon, overflowed with an invisible and intangible spiritual power.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, a striking purple light swayed in the void, and countless ripples slowly gathered to form a clear eye. Powerful mental energy spread outward from this imperial building.

As the entire city was enveloped, countless scenes of human activity surfaced in the depths of his mind, like a movie playing frame by frame. Berwin searched quickly, but after searching every bustling or desolate corner of the city, he still could not find any trace of those special creatures.

A moment later, it opened its eyes again, only to suffer an unexpected defeat.

“Okay... then send that report to other countries and invite them to a global conference. Anyes, you take care of that.”

After a few seconds of deliberation, Berwin still said those words.

The AI ​​lifeform that had been given the instructions smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, the invitation and report attachments have been sent, and the scheduled meeting time is 24 hours from now."

Immediately, Berwin also instructed Elvis: "Find a way to contact them and invite them to attend the meeting."

"Yes."

Elvis responded calmly.

As the meeting drew to a close, he straightened his shirt, smiled and nodded to the surrounding councilors and high-ranking officials from the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, and prepared to get up and leave.

Just then, the AI ​​lifeforms opposite him suddenly changed their expressions, encountering a terrifying omen within the massive amount of real-time aggregated data. They immediately reported loudly:

"An unknown supernatural being is approaching the Empire!"

"Already entered the country!"

"They're heading this way!"

"Level unknown!! Exceeds estimated limit!! Quantity: 2!!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was horrified, especially the several Dark Spirits, whose faces darkened. The Empire was clearly their territory, yet other extraordinary beings dared to descend upon it.

In particular, Anyes' last words plunged everyone's hearts into despair. With the help of the Dark Spirit Clan, the Imperial Academy of Sciences has established five levels for monitoring the level of extraordinary beings: D, C, B, A, and S.

Even the weakest D-level superhuman creature possesses a terrifying, overwhelming power over a human at the peak of level 5 awakening, which cannot be overcome by sheer numbers.

Superhuman beings above S-rank are extremely rare in North America, and they are mostly unique leaders of various secret realm races.

"They're here! They're right above the city!!!" Anyes warned again.

However, even without its reminder, everyone could feel an indescribable sense of suffocation. Even with the walls of the conference room blocking their view, they couldn't stop their hearts from pounding. It was as if all their secrets, from top to bottom and from the outside in, had been completely seen through.

The terrifying aura was far more exaggerated than any creature they had ever seen before. The faces of the other Dark Spirits, including Baiwen, changed drastically. Under the gaze of that mysterious eyes, they felt as insignificant as ants, and the other party was even more powerful than the leader of the Dark Spirits.

Are they cultivators from the East?

Is it the Master?

Just as they were filled with anxiety, two figures stood tall in the clouds above New York, silently watching the vast and bustling city below.

"Just a few small fish?"

Yao Wang looked at the conference room on the top floor of the Empire State Building with some disappointment.

"enough."

The Flying Immortal Master didn't care. Through the faith that the Flying Immortal Sect had acquired overseas, he learned that New York was the territory of the Dark Spirit Clan.

This clan hides in special spatial rifts, making them difficult to find. Among so many cities, only the garrison here holds the highest status and is suitable for summoning.

The next instant, the Flying Immortal Master took a step, his figure suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared in the conference room, with Yao Wang following behind.

Their arrival suddenly plunged the atmosphere into a deathly silence.

"Are you cultivators from the East?"

Berwin's back was covered in cold sweat; he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and even his voice trembled as he spoke.

"three minutes."

"Summon the old ghosts of your clan to come and meet me."

Yao Wang's eyes were indifferent, carrying an unquestionable majesty. With a single glance, the several Dark Spirit Clan members who met his gaze were terrified and almost lost their composure.

What kind of monsters are these?! They feel as eerie as black holes that wear human skin but can devour all living things.
