Not a god

Chapter 215 The League Opening (18.6.27)

Chen Xi hadn't forgotten the time she went back to her high school before going to Shanghai. Those energetic teenagers had gained superpowers and were full of vitality; they might actually blow up the school one day.

Regarding creations that can suppress human destiny, Kaiwu Heaven doesn't actually have any, because there was no need to create such items in the previous life. Therefore, the Forbidden Arts Marketplace doesn't have any related blueprints. When Chen Xi went to Shanghai, she consulted Kaiwu Heaven about testing mechs.

I originally thought that developing something like this would take some time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Guan had also mentioned it to him half a year ago, and the blueprints have been designed recently.

The creation that can suppress human destiny, like the Dream Tower, is also a vital national instrument for maintaining social order, and will later be used in places such as schools, prisons, or military districts.

Chen Xi called Situ back. The blueprints for the creation weren't with him, but he was asked to make some preparations.

Now that the guild is operating, it's a bit like a combination of universities and companies. For example, the Tiangongtang and Sinongtang set up within the Youth Federation are like positions in high-tech research institutes or agricultural academies. Whenever they come up with something new, they just put it out there and sell it.

However, all these industries related to the Chosen Ones, from research and development to production and even use, are inseparable from evil spirits. Guild members need to expand the wilderness in the Dreamland to provide a continuous supply of evil spirits.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you're finally back!"

Situ's face was tanned to a bronze color. When he returned to the guild and saw him, he looked at him like he was seeing his father.
"Tell me quickly, what's the deal with that test mech? Where did you get it from?"

When he first saw the test mecha, he was stunned. He recognized it almost immediately as a creation of nature.

It's one thing to be able to use a second-tier mech, but to actually get a mech with third-tier strength?
Chen Xi coldly slapped his hand away: "That belongs to the country, not us. It was just lent to our guild. We'll take it back after the preliminary rounds."

"Tier 3 mechs, and each branch has one, which means... 27 Tier 3 mechs with power, and judging from the design, they were all made by the same person?"

Six months after the spiritual energy revival, Situ was undoubtedly the strongest craftsman in the country. Among the crafts he had developed, his proudest achievement was a crossbow that could fire in rapid succession. His greatest feat was killing three second-tier monarch-level evil beings in one go with the crossbow. He posted it online and was proud of it for a long time, gaining a lot of praise and admiration.

When they returned, they found that their director had brought back 27 fully automatic Mark armors that were fully activated and could unleash Tier 3 power!
He's still playing with bows and crossbows, thinking he's at the forefront of cutting-edge technology. Now I'm telling him that some people have already started playing with Gundams?

Situ scratched his head, then asked, "Brother Chen, with such a powerful figure in the government, why would they need us..."

"He's just one person. Do you expect him to take on all the projects in the country? Even if he could handle it, the government would never do that."

"Those creation blueprints in the Forbidden Arts Shop, including the Dream Monitoring Tower we built last time, could they all have originated from this person...?"

"Correct."

"What level of Celestial Craftsmanship is the opponent?"

"Fifth rank".

"Hiss—" Situ gasped.
"Brother Chen, have you seen a fifth-tier cultivator?"

"I've seen it."

"What are fifth-tier powerhouses like? Are they very imposing and awe-inspiring?"

"..." Chen Xi thought of Jiang Wanwan, then Yiyi, Chen Yan, Xiao Luo and the others, and really couldn't associate them with the word "majesty".

"I've never met him in person. Every time he appears, it's in the form of remotely controlled armor. He also has a cooperative relationship with the government, and we will have a lot of cooperation in the future."

"so……"

Seeing his dejected expression, Chen Xi offered a rare word of comfort to his younger brother: "Don't underestimate yourself. You started from a different point. Apart from this fifth-tier Heavenly Craftsman, you are definitely the most skilled among the Heavenly Craftsmen right now... Keep up the good work." Situ smiled: "I thought Brother Chen would say something like, 'One day I'll catch up with him.'"

"That's probably impossible."

"..."

Situ felt a toothache and changed the subject, asking, "What was it this time?"

"The Life-Suppressing Beast, a large device used to suppress destiny, will probably start the bidding process officially in a few days. Oh, by the way..."

Chen Xi glanced at them and asked, "The qualifiers end next week. How are the preparations for the Destiny League going?"

Upon hearing this, Situ smiled helplessly: "With Su Jiu'er around, she could probably kill her way through by herself, right?"

……

June 27nd, sunny

It's been more than half a year since "The Man of Destiny" appeared. Although there are several hot topics every day, it's not as exciting as when it first appeared, where even the slightest thing would make netizens jump.

Admittedly, compared to before the spiritual revival, the sudden disasters and accidents related to the evil remains a heavy topic, resulting in injuries and deaths. However, everything must be compared.

Looking around, everyone else is swamped with work.

The better ones are like America, and the Avengers are patching things up; the worse ones are like those in Europe, who are constantly criticizing Tokyo University for contributing to international peace and security, blah blah blah; and the worst ones are completely in chaos, you can't hear anything from them at all.

Let's see what they're doing over here.

"We've arrived! Su Jiu'er is so cool!"

"You are the furthest position I've ever seen on Douyin."

"Sister, which app did you use to snag tickets? None of my friends could get any!"

The recent hot topics are mostly related to the Destiny League.

Following the conclusion of the preliminary rounds, the National Destiny League officially kicked off today in 27 cities across the country. After the top ten teams are determined from each region, they will travel to Wuhan to participate in the finals.

Although there were 27 competition venues across the country, the most exciting ones were in Jiangcheng, Shanghai, and Bojing, mainly because these places had many top players.

The former is because it arrived more than two months earlier than other regions and is indeed a place of outstanding people and resources, while the latter is because the power of the chosen people was greater in the old era.

In Jiangcheng, a total of 176 teams passed the preliminary selection. Among the registered participants, the number of second-tier monarchs has exceeded 100, and there are 12 teams with all members at the second tier.

The competition in Jiangcheng starts today, with six matches in the morning and six in the afternoon. In terms of entertainment value, the quality varies somewhat.
But for the general public, this is a new and relevant issue, and it can even be said to be of national concern.

Events like the Olympics and the World Cup are at most a celebration for sports enthusiasts and something that the public pays attention to out of a sense of collective honor.

But these chosen ones, these experts who are fighting against the evil corpses, may very well be the ones who will descend from the sky on auspicious clouds to save their lives in the future!
