Chapter 1131: Holy Heavens!
God and Devil World
The Man-eating Giants were one of the most dangerous predators of the human race, and their might was no joke.
The guards of Jody and Lina were the elite troops of the Holy Sirius Empire. As the elite guards, they had undergone countless battles against other species, and not one of them were not aware of the terror of the Man-eating Giants. Each time those giants appeared, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of them would perish.
With every 10 battles against those giants, the elite guards of the Holy Sirius Empire would lose 9 of them. They could barely deal with a group not amounting more than 30,000 of them, and only if there were no Type 8 existences.
Now that Yue Zhong appeared, a single person who could defeat an entire group of giants. Such strength was only seen in the Emperor himself.
When Jody saw Yue Zhong, his eyes brightened, and he went up to him, bowing deeply, "Hello, Yue Zhong, I'm Jody, pleased to meet you. Here, I represent the 300,000 inhabitants of Adenia Town to thank you for your help."
Seeing Jody's demeanor, the elite guards were all appreciative and their respect and respect for this prince of theirs increased.
The Emperor of the Holy Sirius Empire was still living all this while, and his children numbered over 300. Among them, many of them were arrogant and despotic, some stupid and even lecherous.
With a gentlemanly charisma, as well as his attitude in his learning and treatment of others, Jody was considered one of the rare few. Thus, he was widely liked and many protected him.
Yue Zhong saw the warm Jody, his impression of him also favorable as he chuckled, "Hey, I'm Yue Zhong, pleased to meet you too."
Lina stepped forward, smiling in a charming manner as she stretched out her fair and dainty hand, "I'm Lina. It's nice to meet you, Yue Zhong."
Yue Zhong smiled politely, and shook her hand gently as well, before releasing it, "Beautiful princess, it is an honor of mine."
There was a strange look in Lina's eyes as she smiled coquettishly at him.
Jody extended an invitation warmly, "Yue Zhong, let us head to our battleship to talk more."
Yue Zhong agreed, "Sure!"
A beam of light cae down, and landed on the group, instantly bringing them up into the battleship.
Within the lavish living room of the enormous battleship, Yue Zhong, Jody, and Lina were seated on a sofa, while a number of pretty women dressed in military uniform came serving refreshments, and placed them in front of the 3 of them, before leaving the room.
Jody had a strange look as he directly asked, "Yue Zhong, did you come from the Holy Heavens?"
Yue Zhong frowned and asked, "Holy Heavens? What is that place?"
Jody and Lina exchanged glances, obviously taken aback, before he continued curiously, "If you're not from the Holy Heavens, then where are you from? Doresini Empire or Zumton Empire?"
Yue Zhong casually weaved a tall tale, "I have no idea where I came out from. I just know that the place I stay is about 10 times the size of Adenia Town, and there was a border around our area that no one could cross from where I came from. I had activated some statue by accident and was sent here. Adenia Town was the first human town that I came across."
If this lie was spoken on Earth, few would believe it. However, the Great God World was different. There were too many experts and all sorts of backgrounds. In fact, his tale sounded extremely believable.
Jody nodded, "So that was the case. In our Great God World, there are simply too many hidden lands, you must have come from one of them."
From the surface, it looked as though he had believed Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong continued asking, "Oh yea, what is the Holy Heavens?"
His intuition told him that it was an extremely important place. It seemed as though there were many other experts like him, otherwise, Jody and Lina would not have asked if he was from there right away.
Jody did not hesitate as he revealed the truth, "The Holy Heavens is a holy land of our human race in this Great God World. There, many experts from all corners of the world are gathered. Most of Type 9 experts or half-God characters are a part of the Holy Heavens. They are focused on protecting the human race from the other powerful species that threaten our existence. In truth, our Sirius Empire is a part of them as well."
"In the Holy Heavens, the experts are truly aplenty. Many of those heaven-defying geniuses could easily wipe out a horde of giants. It was because of this, that when I heard that you had dealt with the invasion, I had automatically assumed you were from the Holy Heavens."
Yue Zhong was moved when he heard this, "Holy Heavens? It seems that I need to make a trip there to check it out."
With the experts there, there were sure to be many Type 9 powerhouses. If he could go and exchange some pointers with those experts, then it would be of great benefits to his growth.
Yue Zhong continued to ask, "Where is the Holy Heavens? Are there any conditions for joining it?"
Jody chuckled lightly, and handed a small chest the size of a palm to him, "There's a map here, and there are markers to the place. The first condition of joining the Holy Heavens is to be a human. The second, a power level of Type 5 and above. Once you fulfill these 2 conditions, as well as going through a round of interviews, you can join the Holy Heavens. Lina and myself, we are also part of the Holy Heavens."
Yue Zhong received the box, and his heart relaxed slightly. He smiled and his impression of Jody improved further, "Many thanks!"
Jody spoke warmly, "Don't mention it, Yue Zhong. In the Holy Heavens, there are 5 main districts, namely the East, West, South, North, and Central Temples. We belong to the Northern Temple. If you do join the Holy Heavens, we hope that you can consider joining us too. That way, we can fight side by side."
Wherever there were people, there were sure to be strife. Within the Holy Heavens, with so many experts, they had likewise, formed their own groups and associations. Jody was treating Yue Zhong warmly in the hopes that he could join them, thus relying on one another.
Yue Zhong chuckled, "Not a problem!"
He was not sure about the life here, and he needed to acclimatize himself as quickly as possible. With Jody's help, he would save the time and trouble.
There was a look of joy in Jody's gaze, "That's great to hear then."
Lina, who had been smiling at the exchange between the 2 men, opened her mouth, "Yue Zhong, the Giants always had the habit of converging as long as one of them was not killed, and manages to report back to the others. There would be other waves of giants assaulting this area soon. Please assist us in purging them."
Yue Zhong laughed slightly, and shook himself, as a few pieces of jade dropped from his body. He then spoke, with a hint of self-assured confidence, "Not a problem! Let's go kill those giants now. As long as we can find their gathering spot, I can take them all down."
With the passing of time, the jade energy that had been suppressed was finally forced out by his body, and he was already recovering at an astonishing speed. As long as he had a day's time, he would be able to regain his peak strength.
If it were any other Type 8 powerhouse, who had suffered such an attack, most would need a few dozen years, or a hundred even, to deal with a wound that contained laws and principles of any nature. It was only Yue Zhong with his heaven-defying Third Order God-Devil Body that allowed him to purge the foreign oddities from his body.
Jody also laughed out in confidence, "Alright, leave the locating of the enemies to me!"
With that, he pressed a button on the watch he was wearing, before issuing an order as naturally as a ruler, "It's Jody. Convey my orders, immediately search for locations of the enemy, target, the Giants!"
With that, the huge battleship opened up, as a number of satellites were released into the skies, and when they reached an altitude of about 20,000m, they extended swiftly, forming huge radar-like satellites, floating in the sky while conducting surveillance on the grounds below.
At the same time, a number of unmanned drones the size of 2 basketballs flew out from the battleship as well, soaring outward in all direction to search.
Under the 2-pronged surveillance, a detailed and informative report of the terrain and region around was gathered.
Within an hour, Jody laughed out loud, "The tracking is complete, the location of the giants is about a 100km away from here, deep within a forest. Let's head there now."
Yue Zhong looked at the battleship and its capabilities and was shocked. He could not help but ask," Jody, it seems that the technology of the Sirius Empire is incredibly advanced. How come Adenia Town is so backward?"
The Holy Sirius Empire was obviously not backward in its technology, yet, Adenia Town seemed to be on par with Europe of the Middle Ages. This was something that Yue Zhong could not understand.
Jody sighed, as he laughed bitterly, "My father feels that only by abandoning technology, that the human potential in cultivation can be unearthed. Therefore, other than the capital, most of the cities lack any form of technology."
