Chapter 87 Special Constitution
This is Zhou Wen’s second time coming to the An family. Although An Tianzuo doesn’t like him, what does that have to do with him?
Zhou Wen sat next to Ouyang Lan, eating by himself and chatting happily with Ouyang Lan.
An Tianzuo and An Jing were sitting opposite him, both eating as if they didn't see him.
After finishing his meal, Zhou Wen was planning to leave immediately, but Ouyang Lan took Zhou Wen's hand and said, "Don't be so anxious to leave. Take a walk with me and let's talk for a while."
Zhou Lingfeng stood up and wanted to go too, but Ouyang Lan smiled and said, "It's rare for Tianzuo to come back. Please help me talk to him and ask him to get married and have children as soon as possible to continue the An family line. Also, teach him how to please women. You are the best at this."
Zhou Lingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "When you ask me to help you with something, can you not insult me?"
"I'm praising you." Ouyang Lan said with a smile, then took Zhou Wen's hand and walked outside.
The An family's house was really big and beautiful. Walking along the cobblestone path in the garden, Ouyang Lan said as she walked, "Xiao Wen, there's something troubling that Sister Lan took upon herself to push onto you. Can you do Sister Lan a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
Ouyang Lan sat down on a bench beside the grass and said thoughtfully, "You must have heard the story of the Six Heroes of the Federation when you were in school, right?"
Zhou Wen nodded and said, "That was the first time humans killed a mythical creature. It was also when they established the federal government that ended humanity's darkest and most chaotic period."
Ouyang Lan smiled and said, "It's true that a federal government will be established, but it's hard to say whether it will end the darkness and chaos."
Zhou Wen's knowledge on this subject was limited to textbooks, and his understanding was very limited. He just waited quietly for Ouyang Lan to continue.
"The Federation today seems to be a stable and prosperous place, but in fact, there are undercurrents. Disasters that affect the entire human society may occur at any time." Ouyang Lan sighed.
"Is the disaster you mentioned related to extra-dimensional creatures?" Zhou Wen asked.
"The extra-dimensional realm has restricted the activities of other-dimensional creatures. No one knows how long this restriction will last, but this is not the most pressing disaster at the moment."
Ouyang Lan paused before continuing, "Actually, the biggest disaster right now comes from humanity itself. The Six Heroes established the Federation. While the Federation ostensibly promotes democracy and freedom, the real voice in the Federation lies in the Senate and the President. Both the Senate members and the President are chosen from the Six Heroes' families. Therefore, the Federation is not much different from a dictatorship."
"A dictatorship requires absolute centralization of power, but in an era like this, achieving absolute rule is clearly not an easy task. At least the six heroic families don't have the absolute power to control the entire Earth Federation. Despite their efforts over the years, their control over the Federation has been steadily weakening. It's no exaggeration to say that the Federation is now divided among various factions."
At this point, Ouyang Lan's gaze fell on Zhou Wen, and he asked with a smile, "Do you know why the Federation has been able to maintain its balance and prevent it from completely collapsing at this point?"
"I don't know." Zhou Wen shook his head.
"That's because, within the Federation, only the families of the six heroes have legendary strongmen." Ouyang Lan said.
Zhou Wen was a little stunned: "Didn't they say that no one in the Federation has been able to break through to the mythical level?"
"If one relies solely on oneself, no one can break through to the mythical level. However, there is a shortcut that allows humans to first obtain a mythical companion pet, and then cultivate a mythical companion pet and use the power of the mythical companion pet to be promoted to mythical level. That's why mythical strongmen will be born in the families of the six heroes." Ouyang Lan said.
"What kind of shortcut is that?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
"You were chased into the Small Buddhist Temple by the Supervisory Bureau. You should have seen the stone tablet and the Buddhist temple there. There's a Vitality Skill inscribed on the stone tablet. If you can master the Vitality Skill on the stone tablet, you can enter the Buddhist temple, receive mysterious power from another dimension, and obtain a mythical companion pet."
"Is there such a thing? Then as long as we control the Small Buddhist Temple, can't we obtain mythical companion pets like the families of the six heroes?" Zhou Wen said in surprise.
Ouyang Lan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. To master the Qi Jue written on the stone tablet, one needs a special physique, and those with special physiques are rare, so to speak. There are more than one or two places like the Small Buddha Temple in the Federation, but the number of people who can truly master the mysterious Qi Jue is pitifully small."
"The six heroes all possess special physiques, and they also found a mysterious place that matched their physiques, mastered the mysterious Yuan Qi technique, and obtained mythical companion pets." After a pause, Ouyang Lan continued, "However, the six heroes' special physiques were not innate, but acquired from a mysterious other-dimensional realm. There are still mysterious objects in that other-dimensional realm that can allow other humans to obtain special physiques like the six heroes, and thus have the opportunity to obtain mythical companion pets."
"With such a good place, I'm afraid the people of the Hero Family won't share it with others, right?" Zhou Wen said.
Ouyang Lan curled her lips and said, "If they had enough power to suppress the entire Federation, they would naturally not share it with others. Unfortunately, even if they had mythical strongmen, they would only have a few people. It would be impossible to suppress such a vast Earth Federation. What's more, the Federation still has terrifying enemies overseas, and the Hero Family can't spend all their energy suppressing their own people."
"Overseas enemies?" Zhou Wen looked at Ouyang Lan in confusion.
"The Earth Federation only controls the landmass. There are other human forces overseas. I'll explain these in detail later." Ouyang Lan continued, "To prevent the Federation from falling apart, the Hero Family gave some places to local leaders. These places allow the descendants of these leaders the opportunity to enter the mysterious land and compete with the descendants of the Hero Family for the opportunity to acquire special physiques. This temporarily stabilizes the superficial peace of the alliance, and the An Family has one of these places."
"You won't give this spot to me, will you?" Zhou Wen suddenly realized something and asked Ouyang Lan in disbelief.
Ouyang Lan nodded and said, "Originally, this spot belonged to Xiaojing. With Xiaojing's talent and abilities, she had a great chance of obtaining a special physique. Unfortunately, that child was too unfortunate and suffered from a congenital disease since childhood. As a mother, I don't want Xiaojing to take any more risks, so I want you to compete in her place to win the special physique and obtain the mythical companion pet."
"I have to ask for your forgiveness. I changed the quota to your name without your permission, and it can't be changed." Ouyang Lan reached out and patted Zhou Wen on the head, then smiled and said, "Don't feel too stressed. I didn't intend to let An Jing go in the first place. The quota would have been wasted anyway, so I changed it to your name. It's okay if you don't want to go."
