Fang Xiu didn't care about who held the position of Captain-General. Captain-General was just a title. You weren't the Captain-General just because others called you that. The Captain-General was someone who had the ability to lead the headquarters and was trusted by everyone.
No one can take the position of Captain-Commander from him. Not to mention his contribution to saving the headquarters, he has predicted the future countless times since becoming Captain-Commander. Most of the Spirit Masters in the headquarters have received his kindness. Everyone knows that following the prophet can greatly increase the chances of survival. No one would risk their own life.
"Where is the Xuanyuan Sword?" Fang Xiu asked.
Yang Ming and the others then noticed that Fang Moli's Xuanyuan Sword was missing!
"Holy crap, it really is! Fang Moli, where did you put the Xuanyuan Sword? How could you leave something so important lying around like that?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Moli's face flashed with resentment, and he muttered, "It was taken away."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.
"Stolen? You're a fifth-tier expert, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, the strongest fighter in the world, and this can still be stolen??" Yang Ming practically had "Are you a pig?" written all over his face.
Fang Moli's face showed even more resentment, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and he remained silent.
"Sigh." The minister sighed again, "We can't blame him. After all, it was a sixth-level Spirit Master who made the move."
"Sixth rank!?" The crowd was even more shocked.
"In the past six months, a sixth-tier powerhouse has been born in the modern world?"
No wonder Li Xiaoru and the others were shocked. They had witnessed a sixth-level expert make a move in the burial ground. Such skills were worthy of being called a terrestrial immortal.
The problem is, just six months ago, not even a fifth-tier Spirit Master could be born in the world, but now even a sixth-tier one has appeared? This is too unbelievable.
The minister shook his head: "It's not that a sixth-tier powerhouse has been born, but rather that a sixth-tier powerhouse from the previous era has appeared."
The previous era!?
Yang Ming and the others exchanged bewildered glances. After all, they had indeed seen a sixth-tier powerhouse from the previous era. If it were a powerhouse from that era, it wouldn't be impossible for them to steal the Xuanyuan Sword. Although the Xuanyuan Sword was powerful, it depended on who used it. The fifth-tier Spirit Master Fang Moli was simply unable to unleash the true power of the Xuanyuan Sword.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "Are you sure they are sixth-tier powerhouses from the previous era? If they are still alive today, they would be at least over a hundred years old."
"Yes, Minister, are you sure you're not mistaken? Living to over a hundred years old and still alive is too exaggerated. Spirit Masters are known for their short lifespans, I've never heard of... Hiss! This thing is like cultivating immortality, it can grant eternal life?"
By this time, there were already many cigarette butts at Yang Ming's feet. From the moment he left the burial site, he had been smoking non-stop. He had even become smarter and no longer needed to use a lighter. After finishing a cigarette, he would use the remaining flame on the butt to light another one, as if he wanted to make up for all the cigarettes he hadn't smoked in the past two months.
In just a short while, the entire conference room was filled with smoke.
However, everyone's attention was focused on the sixth-tier expert, and no one paid any attention to him.
At this moment, the minister slowly said, "To be precise, they should be the descendants of the powerful figures of the previous era."
"Descendants? No, even if the powerful figures of the previous era had descendants, and they were at the sixth rank, such powerful people couldn't have remained hidden forever, right? Logically speaking, the strange invasion has been going on for so many years, how come we haven't seen them make a move? Could they all be hiding in the deep mountains and forests?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.
“Let me explain this,” Fang Moli suddenly said, his expression somewhat complicated. “After all, I’ve had contact with them a few times and understand them better.”
Actually... they've always lived within spatial nodes.
Spatial node?
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he had a vague guess in his heart. He learned from the burial site that there was not just one spatial node in the present world, but many. Otherwise, Zhou Qingfeng would not have needed to dismember himself to suppress all the spatial nodes.
If Lu Ziming and others could survive in the burial ground, it wouldn't be surprising if humans could also survive in other spatial nodes. However, how could anyone reproduce in a spatial node?
The place is shrouded in gray fog, and newborns die as soon as they are born. If there are indeed descendants of people from the previous era, it means that the spatial node must still be hiding many secrets that we do not know.
Fang Xiu was aware of this problem, as were Li Xiaoru and others. After all, they were firsthand witnesses to the spatial node and had a deep understanding of its terror. Even a fifth-tier expert who entered it would only be barely clinging to life.
Below the fourth rank, they don't even have the right to stand at a spatial node.
"That's impossible!" Li Xiaoru suddenly exclaimed. "The spatial nodes are filled with endless strange phenomena, and there's even deadly gray mist. Only those at the fourth rank or higher can barely survive in them. How could anyone possibly reproduce inside? Could it be that people from the previous era were born with children who were at least at the fourth rank?"
Fang Moli looked at him with surprise: "I have been to the Buddhist spatial node once, but I did not see the gray mist you mentioned. Perhaps there are differences between spatial nodes."
Everyone frowned. There was no gray fog?
Can a space node still be called a space node without gray fog? That would be heaven!
Fang Moli continued to explain: "Let me start from the beginning. Since you left, everything was developing in a good direction. The antiques lost overseas were constantly being recovered, and the plan for all people to become Spirit Masters was also progressing steadily. Although the public was initially worried about strange things, as more and more Spirit Masters emerged, the public quickly adapted to reality."
Even many young people whose passion had been worn down by the pressures of life found their direction in life and wanted to experience extraordinary power and an exciting life. They quit their jobs one after another and enthusiastically signed up for spirit master training, which at the time set off a spirit master craze across the country.
