I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 656 Going against fate
at the same time.

Jiuzhou, Nansha City.

This city is located in the southern part of the Southern Continent, covering an area of ​​approximately 30,000 square kilometers, but with a population of just over two million.

Compared to the bustling metropolises in the interior, Nansha City has a very small population.

However, the population of Nansha City has indeed increased significantly compared to more than a decade ago.

Back then, the population here was just over a million. Walking on the street, you could often go half a day without encountering a single living person. That was truly a place where the land was vast and sparsely populated.

The extra million people are partly the result of natural population growth.

But the more important reason is that Nansha City is the only way to enter and leave Lingxiao Academy.

As one of the original three extraordinary academies, Lingxiao Academy's existence acted like a giant gravitational core, completely changing the fate of this border city.

This place is not only frequented by students from Lingxiao Academy, but also by extraordinary individuals preparing to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains for training, suppliers, and forces eager to establish connections with the academy's geniuses.

Various parties established martial arts schools, chambers of commerce, and even a base for producing extraordinary potions, attempting to establish connections with the students of Lingxiao Academy.

Even more so, some top forces have been stationed here for years, specifically looking for students who have graduated from the academy but have not entered official institutions.

Over time, Nansha City gradually prospered.

From a desolate border town, it gradually evolved into one of the most important hubs for extraordinary individuals in the Southern Continent.

The tentacles of various forces are intertwined here.

Of course, since it is not far from Lingxiao Academy, Nansha City is also extremely safe.

Malicious incidents are extremely rare.

After all, no foolish superhuman would dare to challenge the majesty of this behemoth right under the nose of Lingxiao Academy.

Most of the extraordinary individuals who come here are there to trade or gather information.

Especially in the last six months, due to the major actions of the Human Alliance, the number of forces and superhumans coming here has increased significantly.

Extraordinary individuals can be seen almost everywhere on the streets, including many grandmaster-level powerhouses.

Meanwhile, inside a villa on the outskirts of Nansha City.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city, this place is tranquil and heavily guarded.

The lighting inside the villa's restaurant is soft.

Only a few exquisite dishes were set on the long mahogany dining table.

A young girl wearing a dark purple dress embroidered with gold patterns was sitting in the main seat, eating her meal with elegant posture.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with a beautiful face and firm, radiant skin.

The girl ate at a moderate pace, chewing each bite slowly and carefully.

Beside her, a subordinate dressed in black was bowing his head, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Ten minutes later.

The girl put down her cutlery, picked up a snow-white napkin, gently wiped her mouth, and then spoke softly:
"Nothing's happened in the last six months, right?"

"Rest assured, as you requested, we have only been operating in the Western Continent for the past six months, and nothing has happened."

At this point, the man hesitated, as if he wanted to ask something but dared not speak.

The girl tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, producing a rhythmic sound.

She looked at her subordinates, who seemed to want to ask but dared not, and a knowing smile curved her lips.

"You want to know why we've been targeting the Dawn Society all this time?"

"I wouldn't dare, but the Dawn Clan has a deep-rooted presence in the Western Continent, so why should we focus our efforts on targeting them?"

To be honest, he really didn't understand why.

Currently, the Dawn Society is arguably the strongest force on Earth.

Even the eternity of the Nine Provinces cannot compare.

Targeting the Dawn Society rashly would not be a wise choice for them, given their rebellious nature.

It could even be described as a futile attempt to break a rock with an egg.

However, this was an order from Alliance Leader Lin, and no one else dared to object, even if they had any opinions.

They had already experienced Lin's ruthless methods countless times.

She is ruthless not only to outsiders but also to her own people.

They never leave anyone alive when they make a move.

No one knows how this girl could kill without even blinking an eye.

Even though we're in the Extraordinary Era now!

Most superhumans, however, rarely even fight, let alone kill. Let alone someone like her, who treats human life as worthless and slaughters as naturally as breathing.

This also makes many people who join the fight against fate feel very uncomfortable.

Although the organization that defies fate selects only those who are unwilling to be subordinate to others and are ambitious,

However, the girl's ruthless methods, which treated human life as worthless, still made many newcomers feel terrified and find it difficult to adapt.

Despite this, those who defy fate rarely betray or leave.

On one hand, it was because of the girl's methods, and on the other hand, it was because the treatment of defying fate was indeed good.

For example, a superhuman in the early stages of body tempering, if he were to become a martial arts teacher in a high school, would earn at most one hundred contribution points per year.

However, if you go against fate, you can easily reach one hundred.

Sometimes it can even reach two hundred.

Moreover, Alliance Leader Lin has a resource channel of unknown origin, and the extraordinary potions they purchase within the Rebel Alliance are half the price of those purchased outside.

This policy is enough to drive everyone crazy.

Therefore, the girl's prestige within the Rebellion of Fate can be described as extremely high, and almost no one would object to her words.

Of course, another reason is the girl's strength.

She is the strongest person to defy fate, a Grandmaster at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm!

With such strength, naturally no one dared to object.

It was only because the man in black had been following the girl that she dared to ask a few questions.

"Do you think all these resources came out of thin air?"

The girl's voice carried a hint of mockery as her fingertips lightly traced the table, leaving an invisible mark.

No one within the entire organization of the Rebel Alliance knew about this resource channel except for the girl herself.

Even the man in black, who had been by the girl's side for ten years and was her most trusted companion, was completely unaware of the situation.

She paused, her gaze seemingly piercing through the wall, looking in some unknown direction.

"Furthermore, do you really think that all the intelligence we've obtained in the past, and the ability to repeatedly evade the counterattacks of the Eternal, Thunder Palace, and Heavenly Gang Alliance, as well as the investigations of the Judgment Hall, was entirely due to our own efforts?"

The man in the black outfit suddenly looked up, a look of disbelief and horror flashing in his eyes.

A terrifying hypothesis instantly formed in his mind.

"You, you mean..."

As he spoke, he pointed upwards.

The girl didn't answer directly, but just looked out the window.

"What are we compared to those big shots?"

"Seventh stage of Mortal Transformation".

The girl repeated the word, the smile on her lips becoming somewhat meaningful, even carrying a hint of mockery.

"In the eyes of the true player, he is nothing more than a slightly stronger piece."

She raised her clear yet unfathomable eyes and looked at her subordinates:

"Do you think that I, a mere seventh-level Transcendent Grandmaster, can support the rebellion against fate, allow us to navigate effortlessly between various powerful forces, and even challenge a behemoth like the Dawn Society?"

"It's just that someone wants us to exist against fate."

She gently swirled the remaining liquid in the glass, her gaze cold and distant.

“Every time you avoid a ‘coincident’ situation, every time you succeed by ‘luck’, there is an unseen hand behind you, gently plucking the threads of fate.”

The man felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his throat went dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He always thought that defying fate was a hunter hidden in the shadows, but he never thought that he might always be on a larger hunting ground, acting according to some predetermined script.

"Then, then we..."

He spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

"Don't worry, whether you use us or use us as pawns."

The girl chuckled softly, her laughter tinged with mockery.

"The important thing is that we have indeed acquired resources and grown stronger. That's enough."

"As long as our strength continues to improve, one day..."

“We will be qualified to go from being a piece on the chessboard to being the player.”
