"That arm-grow-back stuff." Yunsheng Li stared at the stage like it had personally offended him. "The ones we hand out by the crate? Those?"

Ethan nodded.

"Those are worth that?" Yunsheng's voice went up. "We've got a hundred of those in every soldier's pack. We should've sold them all! They don't need that grade—"

Tang set his cup down. The sound was mild, but it stopped the room.

"Our people," Tang cut in, sharp, "are worth exactly that grade. Sit down, Li. You don't have a filter tonight."

    "Sure. Let's find somewhere to sit." Ethan could see it was real. He'd just done the Giants a favor. They weren't going to betray him now, of all times.Chiyou gave him one look, shrugged, and headed back to Mars with Gou Dan.Ethan didn't take Bi Han to Earth. The man was too large; stepping onto the surface would start a panic before he said two words. Instead he picked an empty planet, nowhere near anyone, and stood facing the giant.Bi Han looked down at him for a long moment, then began to shrink. He settled at five meters tall, still a mountain, but manageable. He scratched his head and looked embarrassed."This is as small as I get. Our bloodline works the other way from yours. The stronger we grow, the bigger we get. Late in life, shrinking back gets hard." He gestured at himself. "We're also bigger than the Bimeng. Truth is, the Bimeng are our own descendants — us, married into other clans. They split off and became their own people. But we're close. Still."He sobered."I ca

  • Chapter 289: The Giants Come Calling

    "Fine. I'll listen to you." Tang had given in, but it left a bitter taste. "From now on, anyone who wants to leave, I won't stop. You're right. I shouldn't cage them. If they actually get into one of those academies out there, some of them might even stay. That way, if a disaster really comes, we won't lose every last soul at once."Ethan didn't argue. Earth had no idea what was still waiting for it. Those old ancestors of his had caused no end of trouble out in the dark. But they were strong. Otherwise, a demigod or a true god would have come for Earth long before this. That nobody had, meant someone was holding the line.It was the one reason he felt safe walking away."Are you going to test your own bloodline?" Tang steered him off Lu's fussing. "See what you actually are?"He'd already taken his own. Seventh-tier, upper-grade, True Dragon. Strong for a man his age. Though the SSS-talent sprouts at the academies were mostly seventh-tier upper too, a True Dragon still put him in a t

  • Chapter 288: Earth Needs Growth, Not Shelter

    "In three months, True God Academy opens its doors." Ethan didn't lie to him. "I figure I'll leave Earth in about a month. But there's no crisis right now. As long as the Giants and the Bimeng are standing with us, we can handle the guardian challenge."He turned to the old man."And you should go out too, Tang. With your strength, you'll do fine off-planet. This isn't the Earth it used to be. It doesn't need us hiding under its skirts anymore. It needs a push to grow. We can't guard it forever. And the second we stop getting stronger ourselves, the next time a real disaster hits, we won't be able to save it either. We can't count on other people to come and pull us out. Only strength you build yourself is strength that holds."His gaze drifted back down to the square.The people down there had talent. All of them. Every kind of Class, every kind of gift. Put them out in the universe and they'd find somewhere to stand, something they were good at. He'd seen too much already. He'd watc

  • Chapter 287: Earthlings Make a Stand

    Yan had barely finished shouting when twelve figures stepped out of the metal planet, boiling with simulated rage."Human." The lead unit's voice grated. "Would you start a war between your human race and the Mechanical Clan? You dare enter our heartland?" Its chassis glowed hot with indignation.Yan curled his lip. "Heartland? This place? I just walk in whenever I feel like it.""Enough talk. You want trouble with my homeworld, I'll block your door. I've got more behind me. They'll be here soon enough."He had never been a reasonable man. He'd grown up being the strongest, and he'd never learned to explain himself. There was exactly one person in existence he was even slightly polite to, and that was because he'd tried and failed, more than once, to beat him.Chiyou had told him the moment Earth began the bloodline tests. They'd all known what the testers really were. The Mechanical dogs had left their backdoors in every unit. They would know the instant the first drop of blood hit t

  • Chapter 286: The Bloodlines of Lunguo

    "Bloodline test. I wonder what mine'll be. I'm actually kind of nervous.""Everything on Earth is better now, isn't it? All this new tech. All these ways to get stronger. Not like before, when you had to feel your way in the dark.""Heard that once you max out your Class, you can actually leave Earth. Go out into the universe. There are academies and everything out there. Places to train, places to get stronger.""Things have been nothing but war lately. Can Earth really hold?""Of course we can. We've got Ethan."The crowd packed the square, almost all of them young. The test was aimed first at the young — especially the ones who hadn't gone through their Awakening yet. The older folks could make a special appointment later.Ethan looked down over them from the platform, and something moved in his chest.This was where Jiangnan Walled City had stood. It had been destroyed, monsters and rubble, and when the bodies were cleared and the survivors came home, they'd built the city back up

  • Chapter 285: Divine-Tier Pill

    "Where." Chiyou's voice had dropped to a low, dangerous rumble. "Where did you get this stuff? You're the old man's apprentice, aren't you? He never struck me as a pill-maker."Ethan scratched the back of his neck. "The old man being who, exactly. The Yellow Emperor?"A look of pure exasperation crossed Chiyou's face. "You kid. I got beaten half to death by that one. But no — I'm not talking about him. Did your people never keep the real old history? You only go back, what, a few thousand years?""If we skip the last hundred and twenty." Ethan thought it through. "Lunguo's history runs eight thousand years, back to the ancient Yu. There's talk of an even older Tang before that, but it wasn't proven before the sky broke. So there was something before that. There was more."He was a transmigrator. He remembered, dimly, the world he'd come from — the dig that had finally uncovered the ancient Yu ruins, the textbooks rewritten, even the Analects updated after thousands of years. He'd miss
