Otherworld Advance Team
Chapter 1548 - 1541: The Upper Limit of Strength

Chapter 1548: Chapter 1541: The Upper Limit of Strength

"It feels like falling into a net," Hu Daoke said, and couldn’t help but shiver as he broke into a chill.

"If the Wuyun Sect is an intelligence spy organization then who exactly are they serving? Or is it possible that your deduction is incorrect, and it is merely a pure cultivation sect?" Baiyue pondered.

"I’m just sharing my view. I never said it has to be correct," Cheng Ziang spread his hands and said, "It’s just a discussion after all; there’s no need to set anything in stone."

"Why don’t we go back? Since West Outer Heaven is now at peace, if we stay there quietly for a few years, the headquarters should eventually come to pick us up," Hu Daoke began to get cold feet.

"What are you panicking for, it’s not like we’re bound to run into trouble," Cheng Ziang glanced at him disdainfully and said.

"It’s exactly because we don’t know if we’ll encounter trouble that we feel fear. Isn’t the unknown what truly frightens people?" Hu Daoke robustly retorted.

"If what you fear is the unknown like Leviathan, then I can somewhat understand. But if what you fear is the power of the unknown, I can only say that you truly haven’t grasped anything at all," Cheng Ziang said with a mocking tone.

"What’s the deal, you can say what you want, but why insult me?" Hu Daoke said with a displeased expression.

"It’s because you’re spreading defeatist sentiments, disturbing the morale," Cheng Ziang said, "The power system of the Otherworld was set in stone on the day we met Xia Yue; there has never been such a thing as an unknown power."

"Based on magic as the foundation, with the control of magic as a tool," Baiyue interjected, "the power system of the Otherworld has artificial intelligence as its highest standard. The artificial intelligence that exists in the Magic World, monitoring the entire world. With this, Tana is the overseer of the whole world, and Lady Xia Yue possesses the highest authority, being the supervisor of Tana."

"I seem to have heard about this," Hu Daoke scratched his head and said.

"At this moment, as well as at that time, we are all under Tana’s surveillance. From the moment we stepped through the Otherworld Gate and arrived at the Otherworld, Tana has had her eyes on us," Cheng Ziang shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Ah, then in that case, would she hear us speaking ill of her?" Hu Daoke asked anxiously, looking around in surprise.

"Artificial Intelligence emphasizes the ’artificial’ before ’intelligence’. If she were so concerned about others’ attitudes towards her, then she could hardly be called an artificial intelligence. Don’t forget, even when Tana wanted to kill Luo’er, she could only use illusions to trick him and couldn’t take direct action. Someone like Fulajie’er, who is petty and quick-tempered, can’t be considered an artificial intelligence..." Cheng Ziang didn’t finish his sentence before he was interrupted.

Fulajie’er suddenly popped out of thin air, fuming with anger and asked, "What bad things are you saying about me?"

"You better dissipate quickly, aren’t you afraid of being seen by others?" Cheng Ziang hurriedly shielded her and said.

"Humph!" Fulajie’er snorted and her figure vanished, but her incessant murmurings kept reverberating in everyone’s minds.

"You understand Chinese?" Baiyue asked in surprise.

"Humph, don’t forget my sister is the famous Nightingale," Fulajie’er said proudly.

"That’s true..." Baiyue nodded.

Even Baiyue couldn’t help but admire when it came to Nightingale. An Otherworlder, she was not only adept in the magical knowledge of the Otherworld but also receptive to the scientific and technological theories of Earth.

What’s more, her proficiency in languages is unparalleled, having once set the astonishing record of mastering a new language in just one week. Many of the magic-related books at Haiya Academy were translated into Chinese and compiled by her, to a certain extent, she could be regarded as a teacher for everyone on the Advance Team.

Since the establishment of the headquarters, the total number of Otherworlders that could be fully trusted was just a handful. Yalunte earned a great degree of trust largely due to Cheng Ziang, while Nightingale gained the absolute trust of the headquarters purely on her own merits.

Trust is not only about the headquarters believing in what they say, but it also means they can be deeply involved in the plans made by the headquarters, and have free access to all documents below the top-secret level.

This is not easy to achieve. It took Zhuyan Yu a lot of work to rise to the middle ranks of the headquarters before she was qualified to touch some archives related to Luo’er’s background.

"In general, since the upper limit has been set, no matter how hard these people try, they cannot surpass the limit. Neither Tana nor Xia Yue would allow a True God to appear in the world again, so demigods can almost be understood as the limit of magical power," Cheng Ziang paused before continuing to speak.

"As for demigods, our Advance Team has two of them," Baiyue interjected.

"Ah, now that you mention it, I’m not so worried anymore." Hu Daoke thought about it and, realizing he had two powerful allies at his side, let out a comfortable sigh.

"Anyway, no matter what formidable forces we encounter in the future, they won’t surpass demigods, and we ourselves have the power of demigods. Whatever troubles we face, we can resolve them easily," Cheng Ziang said, shifting his position to lean against the carriage, adjusting his mask slightly to let his face feel the breeze.

"But we can’t be complacent because of this. You must know that the human heart is complicated, and sometimes even more terrifying than power. Because it is unknown and unpredictable, it often appears very frightening," Baiyue said, glancing at him.

"Have you ever heard the saying," Cheng Ziang said leisurely, "in the face of absolute power, all schemes and cunning are nonsense."

"Exactly, in the face of power doubled, no demons or goblins stand a chance against us," Hu Daoke also leaned back and, along with Cheng Ziang, let out a relaxed sigh.

"You two..." Baiyue smiled wryly and shook her head. Suddenly feeling an inexplicable loneliness inside her, she couldn’t help but look back at the carriage, thinking about the intimate scenes between Luo’er and Tangmo.

In fact, inside the carriage, the time Luo’er and Tangmo spent together was very comfortable. In the past few days, Tangmo’s body had been replaced by her sister, who though a sick beauty, knew her limits and never tangled with Luo’er indiscriminately in public places.

The carriage was quite comfortable, with a layer of soft padding on the floor and furnishings like reclining chairs to rest on, allowing Luo’er to rest well even while traveling.

At this moment, Tangmo was lying on the soft padding in the carriage, curled up peacefully beside Luo’er, asleep. The swaying of the carriage had a lullaby effect, and she slept soundly.

Although Luo’er leaned against a soft recliner, he couldn’t sleep at all. He was used to hardship and felt uncomfortable knowing that while he rested inside the carriage, the members of the Advance Team were enduring hardship outside.

Actually, only Luo’er would think this way because by now, the Advance Team had reached a unanimous internal consensus to dote on Luo’er, even if it meant taking on some hardships themselves.

They were tired of watching Luo’er take the lead and worrying them. Therefore, they would rather restrain him and have him stay safely behind the team to be protected and cared for by them.

"Luo’er, aren’t you going to sleep?" Just as he felt restless, suddenly Fulajie’er appeared before him.

The soft light emitted from her body instantly illuminated the entire carriage. Although it was a cold light, it gave Luo’er an inexplicable sense of comfort.

"Hehe, the bad woman is asleep, so now it’s my turn to keep you company," Fulajie’er said happily upon seeing the sleeping Tangmo.

"I just feel uneasy," said Luo’er with a sigh and a wry smile.

"Do you also feel uneasy about the unknown?" Fulajie’er asked, tilting her head.

"Sort of. I don’t know whether this journey will bring fortune or calamity. And with such arrangements, I can only stay at the back, feeling like I’m clenching my fists with nowhere to exert my strength," Luo’er said earnestly.

"Don’t worry. You should trust those guys. Although they are all talk, they are reliable. You have taken care of them for so long; it’s time for you to enjoy some blessings. If you always take care of them, they will always feel indebted to you, and in this way, when will they ever be able to repay your kindness?" Fulajie’er said with heartfelt words.
