I became Superman

Chapter 94 Expedition

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Is he currently the only descendant of a god in Chengdu?"

Huang Hong said, "There are a few more people who arrived in Chengdu in the last couple of days."

It turns out that it wasn't just Hong Tianyang; other so-called descendants of gods were also brought here.

Could it be that the guy in the shadows is deliberately trying to make him enemies with the divine class of the New Han Empire, wanting to use the power of the entire divine class of the New Han Empire to deal with him?

That's an interesting tactic.

It's just unknown how the other party managed to bring these people to Chengdu without anyone noticing, and without alarming their respective gods or elders.

Regardless of how the other party accomplished it, this matter suited his wishes perfectly.

The emperor clearly did not convey his message to the gods of the new Han Empire.

It's not surprising, really. It would be strange if an arrogant emperor accepted his warning so easily.

Since that's the case, why not let the gods of the New Han Empire come here in person to receive their instruction?

Zhou Ming said, "Take them all to the center of the aliens and let their respective gods come and demand them back."

Huang Hong was terrified.

This wasn't just one or two deities, but more than a dozen, all summoned to Chengdu to demand the release of their loved ones—

Huang Hongzhen had no idea how things would end if a conflict broke out.

However, this is clearly not something he can decide.

Huang Hong immediately led his men to every corner of the city and invited all the descendants of the gods to the center of the aliens.

This is certainly not a good job.

These divine descendants are all arrogant and proud, and they don't take the provincial-level alien center seriously at all.

At that time, they were all in the city, having their own fun, and had no intention of paying any attention to the people in the Outcast Center.

It wasn't until she heard that Hong Tianyang had been taken to the alien center for custody that she realized something was wrong, so she came to the alien center with suspicion.

From that day on, Zhou Ming simply took charge of the center of the aliens, waiting for all the gods to come to him.

Shenjing, the headquarters of the Alien Center.

Princes Liu Xi and Liu Yi summoned all the deities at headquarters for a special meeting.

The meeting was naturally aimed at addressing the current chaotic situation in Chengdu.

Besides the deities from the Shenjing headquarters, the meeting also included several deities who had recently arrived, such as the Hongming King from the Northwest.

They are all deities whose descendants were detained in Chengdu.

Seeing the indignant expressions on the faces of these deities, the Second Prince Liu Yi felt conflicted.

He had a good impression of Zhou Ming and knew how powerful Zhou Ming was, so naturally he didn't want the gods to clash with Zhou Ming.

These are the cornerstones of the New Han Empire's rule over the alien world. If they are damaged, the New Han Empire's dominance in the alien world will be shaken.

The eldest prince, Liu Xi, was naturally delighted.

In a short period of time, Zhou Ming became the enemy of all the gods in the entire New Han Empire, which was naturally a good thing for him.

However, he couldn't help but feel secretly horrified.

Edward is truly terrifying; he managed to mobilize so many people with just a pen.

He discreetly observed the expressions of the gods at the meeting and quickly noticed something amiss.

These deities were more impatient than usual.

Given their inherent personalities, they shouldn't get angry so easily, after all, they are decades, or even over a hundred years old.

But now they are filled with righteous indignation and wish the empire would immediately strike against Zhou Ming.

They were probably influenced by Edward.

This mysterious and powerful figure does not belong to any faction and wanders the world independently.

What he loved most was traveling to every corner of the world, observing all kinds of people, inquiring about and recording information about many key figures, and casually planting foreshadowing.

When the time comes, these foreshadowing elements may come in handy, becoming plot lines that can influence the gods.

Edward's desire to directly control a god is not easy, but he has a high probability of success in manipulating the god's emotions and guiding it towards a plot he has designed.

No one knows how many foreshadowings he has laid, or how much power they will generate when all of them are used.

Did this guy plant some kind of seed in his own mind?

Liu Xi was suddenly startled, and then he had murderous intent.

Once Edward has dealt with Zhou Ming, or both of them are severely injured, Edward must be eliminated.

This guy is far too dangerous.

However, he also has a weakness. If Edward makes arrangements in advance, he can indeed exert his supernatural abilities, but if it is an unexpected encounter, he is not so scary.

As the eldest prince pondered this, he watched the gods arguing fiercely in front of him.

Zizhang firmly opposed using the name of the empire to suppress Zhou Ming, saying, "Your juniors have caused trouble in Chengdu. Zhou Ming only asked you to bring them back. It's not a big deal. Why make a mountain out of a molehill?"

"The emperor himself agreed and treated him with the courtesy due to a guest, but this is not the proper way to treat a guest."

"The proper etiquette for entertaining guests is meant to be reserved for honored guests. I think this Zhou Ming is not an honored guest, but rather an unwelcome one."

Inside the hall, a burly, imposing old man said coldly, "Since he is a guest, he shouldn't interfere in the affairs of his host family. What does the business of the Chengdu Center of Extraordinary Beings have to do with him?"

The old man was none other than Hongming Wang of the Northwest.

He looked around, scanning the faces of the crowd. Seeing that many shared his hatred for the enemy, he was very satisfied and said, "We have all risked our lives for the empire and have made great contributions to it."

"The Emperor himself promised to rule the world together with all the gods. Our descendants will not be punished unless they commit an unforgivable crime such as inviting the ancient gods to descend."

"This is the emperor's decree, yet Zhou Ming openly disobeyed it. For the sake of a few mortals, he imprisoned our descendants and even made us go to demand their release. How arrogant is that?"

"Does he see himself as more supreme than the emperor?"

"This is utterly outrageous."

The gods present immediately responded.

Zizhang and the Second Prince Liu Yi exchanged a glance, both understanding that they probably couldn't stop the crowd this time.

Liu Xi was naturally overjoyed, but Zhou Ming's strength made him wary. He pondered for a moment and said, "What you all say makes a lot of sense, but that person's strength is unfathomable, and Father is not in the capital. If we rashly start a conflict, there may be unforeseen changes."

"Let's wait until Father returns before making a decision."

Another deity, Long Canghai, said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the emperor to return."

"He wants us to go to Sichuan to get people, should we go or not?"

"If we don't go, our descendants will likely be killed. But if we go, with a single word from him, he can summon all the gods of the New Han Empire. Is the New Han truly the emperor's New Han, or Zhou Ming's New Han?"

The eldest prince's body trembled. He knew that with Long Canghai's words, there was no room for refusal.

Long Canghai added, "As for that person's strength, Your Highness need not worry."

"We have already visited the tower, and the tower's lord has agreed to go with us."

Liu Xi exclaimed with delight, "Then there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong!"

The Tower is an alliance of elementalists. When the Great Ancestor established the empire, the Tower was his ally. It can be said that the Tower is the second most powerful force in the empire after the Emperor, and also the Emperor's most loyal ally.
