[Subscribe to the official version please] 1159: Chapter 40 Are You the Lord Assassin!?
[Subscribe to the official version please] Jia Yan had completely set aside the affairs of the Northern Star Domain and could now wholeheartedly attend to so matters on Earth.
“Uncle Jiu, look, look!”
Little JiaQi’s joyful voice rang out as the young girl was now piloting her own body, flying through the skies.
Jia Yan looked at her and then revealed a trace of gratified smile.
His niece had quickly grasped his teachings—at least she had not encountered the situation where flying normally took many days.
In the days leading up to Jia Yan’s true body’s promotion, Jia’s family held a grand ceremony for Jia Qi’s advancent.
Attendees were renowned figures from Earth, or rather, ordinary national presidents and leaders who could not even rank here.
Even Kari, the Marshal of the Earth Fleet, had arrived.
However, people realized that the person they really wanted to see, the one rumored to be the strongest on Earth, “Mo Ke,” wasn’t there, leaving many of the high-ranking Earth figures quite disappointed.
For Earth people, Jia Qi becoming a leading Heaven-level existence was an exciting matter for the entire Earth species.
But in truth, what Earth needed was Mo Ke; he was the one who could truly determine the outco of wars.
Of course, Jia Qi’s promotion was also exhilarating for countless people, signifying that Earth’s talent could reach the Heavenly Level.
Days passed, and today Jia Qi was able to fly in front of Jia Yan with ease.
To be able to fly under the gravity of a normal planet indicated the strength of a Heavenly Level power.
Earth’s gravity was average among terrestrial planets, so at this mont, Jia Qi could barely manage to fly.
If it were on a planet like Grey-Yellow Star with greater gravity, she would need more training.
“Okay, okay, stop cajoling your Uncle Jiu.
You’re still very far off.
If you can’t exert the real power of the Heavenly Level, you’ll never be a true strong one,” Jia Yan solemnly told his little niece.
Today was still a day for ntoring his niece, but Jia Yan pondered so matters in his heart.
As far as he was concerned, waiting for Earth people to beco powerful on their own would take who knows how many years.
Moreover, Jia Yan hadn’t told anyone that he indeed felt that Earth’s combat talent was not necessarily worse than the Bella clan or the Kudi Tan Tribe but wasn’t much better either.
That ant Earth’s potential strength wouldn’t be too weak, but also not too strong within the Orion Arm.
Compared to the two species, Earth’s advantages included having Jia Yan, a terrifyingly powerful existence, and the fact that the Orion Arm as a whole wasn’t very powerful.
So, Earth’s future developnt could at least position them as a species with dium strength overall.
Of course, Jia Yan was unwilling to wait.
He wanted the Earth species to beco powerful imdiately!
If their overall strength wasn’t enough, he would use his personal power to forcefully elevate the Earth species to the level of strong species within the Orion Arm!
A civilization of strong ones, though with countless disadvantages, was still better than one with no strong ones at all, just like Earth in the past.
If Jia Yan hadn’t rescued them several tis, Earth might very well have perished by now.
“Hmph, the Ru Lan Civilization and the Auster Civilization, huh?”
A strange light flickered in Jia Yan’s eyes.
In that mont, Jia Qi, who was being instructed, seed to feel a terrifying pressure—it was fortunate that this pressure was fleeting.
The young girl couldn’t help but feel discouraged; she thought that after advancing a Great Level, she might be able to witness Uncle Jiu’s strength, but now she felt his unintentional crushing aura and could sense the still unfathomably deep power of Jia Yan, which left her sowhat morose.
However, though she felt morose inside, Jia Qi also had a way to vent, because this invincible strong one could be coaxed with affection.
Jia Yan also felt sowhat helpless afterwards; he didn’t understand how his niece, as she grew stronger, beca even more spoiled.
And just after today.
Sowhere on Earth, here lay a place of utmost secrecy.
Countless scientists were constantly tackling technological challenges here, with so developntal matters also being transmitted from this place.
If the Earth Fleet was currently the most powerful entity in Earth’s hands, then this place was another significant location, second only to the Earth Fleet.
“The Lord may not know if he has returned.
With the ergence of Mo Ke, we who are subordinates of the forr Lord Assassin seem to have beco a bit awkward in our positions.
No one expected that there would be such a terrifying strong one on Earth.
There are rumors that the other party is a strong one who left Earth early on, and many versions of the story are being sold as novels now.”
An existence who looked like a giant Frog Monster idly complained while sorting through files at hand.
Beside him stood another alien, who resembled a Noodle Man.
If one rembered, this was Fuda, whom Jia Yan relied on greatly back on Grey-Yellow Star.
In response to the Frogman’s puzzlent, Fuda also showed so helplessness.
He sowhat found the looks from the surrounding Earth people hard to accept, because an air of change seed to hang over Earth with the ergence of their own strong one; a different look began to erge towards them, these Outsiders.
“Forget it, for now, that being doesn’t seem to harbor any hostility towards us, and since he hasn’t revealed himself publicly, he might even be a friendly presence,” Fuda sighed and said.
“That’s right, Fuda, you’re on point.
I am indeed friendly towards you all.”
Suddenly, a voice erged beside the two alien entities.
“Who?!” Fuda was startled, this place was one of the two most heavily guarded forbidden areas on Earth.
Not to ntion anyone else, but just his own power alone was of Heavenly Level.
Who on Earth had the ability to appear beside him without notice?
When Fuda turned his head, he was shocked to find that behind them stood a young man of Earthly appearance with ordinary features, yet upon closer inspection, one couldn’t help but feel a sense of mystery.
This man simply stood behind the two, then looked around at the surrounding scenery.
“Fuda, you have done a very good job managing Earth.
I am very satisfied,” the man said with a hint of praise.
“Who exactly are you?” Fuda was full of trepidation as he looked at the man; his mind swiftly went through various possibilities, and soon after, he had a hunch about the man’s identity.
As expected, when he asked, the young man turned his head back to look at Fuda, who had scarcely changed from the Noodle Man he was ten years ago.
“My na now is Mo Ke, but I have had other nas before this.
Would you like to know them?” the man said with a faint smile.
He is Mo Ke?!
Even with so ntal preparation, Fuda couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing the man’s words.
The Frog Monster on the other side was, at that mont, so surprised that he carelessly dropped the communicator he had been holding stealthily.
A man’s na carries the weight of his reputation.
As a being who had helped the Earth Fleet through a previous crisis, although he had never shown his face formally, and no one knew how exactly he had saved the Earth Fleet or how he had destroyed a semi-battle-class carrier, as the frontline warriors had not returned, his strength was sothing that was clear to everyone.
It ant this being was not just any ordinary Strong One, but sowhat according to the snippets of information from the frontline, his power was greater than that of the Strong Ones of the Giant Mosquito clan, ‘Lord Assassin,’ quite possibly by no small margin.
So, in the presence of this being, at the mont, Fuda and the large Frog could only be at his rcy.
Though in terms of size, these two could easily swallow down the puny Earthling without so much as spitting out a bone, strength was still strength.
“No, wait!
He said this is just one of his nas, and he also asked about my previous na?
That ans I must know who he was before!
Could there possibly have been such a terrifying being among those I’ve known before?” Fuda, with a mind no less sharp than Daphne’s, quickly ca up with a notion.
“But could this be possible?” As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he easily dismissed it.
Luckily, Jia Yan didn’t play any gas, but shook his head and resolved the answer himself.
“Fuda, thank you for steadfastly following my orders all these years.
Now relax, Earth has no need to worry about invaders.
You just focus on helping develop, build, and erect the technological industries,” Jia Yan said.
“You!” Fuda was truly stupefied at that mont, his earlier guess having turned out to be true!
“You are Lord Assassin?!” Fuda asked in utter shock.
“Heh, it’s , and yet it’s not ; it’s a bit complicated.
In any case, you can think of as the original ‘Lord Assassin,'” Jia Yan said, nodding with a smile.
“Uh, uh, uh, uh… I see now.
I knew it, there couldn’t be such a terrifying existence that was so good to Earthlings, that among Earth’s people, such a terrifying presence couldn’t just erge by chance.” It seed at that mont, Fuda had co to understand so things.
“Earthlings can beco powerful beings too, Fuda, as you have said,” Jia Yan’s voice tily interrupted, causing Fuda to stop mumbling to himself.
“Alright, I ca to you today not for anything else but to check if you had any star charts or the like.
Especially of the Ru Lan Empire and the Auster Empire, including the star charts and local customs,” Jia Yan said indifferently.
Still reeling from the revelation that ‘Mo Ke’ was in fact the ‘assassin,’ Fuda was once again startled.
He looked incredulously at Jia Yan and then asked with difficulty.
“Dare…
dare I ask, Lord, are you planning to seek trouble with them?
To…
to find trouble with two Empires on their doorstep?!” he asked tentatively, hardly believing his own words.
