"Mr. Zhang, everyone is here."
Zhang Zhongjiu surveyed the group of celestial beings before him, his gaze cold: "Weren’t there supposed to be eighteen in total?"
Lin Chen explained, "One of them is currently in closed-door cultivation to fuse with a divine status and cannot exit temporarily."
Zhang Zhongjiu nodded, "How long does your closed-door cultivation usually take?"
Lin Chen replied, "As short as twenty or thirty years, as long as a hundred and eighty years."
Zhang Zhongjiu raised his eyebrows, "Your longevity is indeed quite impressive."
Lin Chen remained silent.
During his ti in the Federation, he had learned a lot about the warriors, and he realized that cultivation practitioners held a definite advantage, which was lifespan.
As warriors improved their abilities, their lifespan also increased significantly, but no matter how much they improved, they could never have the long lifespan of cultivation practitioners.
Lin Chen had previously ntioned this to Ning Xiuzhu and Secretary Bai, and although it was certain that both the City Hall and the Science Council had their eyes on this point.
Who doesn’t want immortality?
Even if the Federation’s warrior system ultimately proves to be much more powerful, if it could be combined with the cultivation system of Lost Ball 235, then perhaps one could achieve a long lifespan without hindering the improvent of strength?
Quite a few people ca with this scientific expedition team, including Ning Xiuzhu, who wanted to observe this world with his own eyes.
Zhang Zhongjiu’s gaze swept across the people, "Lin Chen should have already told you about our origins, right?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Zhang Zhongjiu nodded, "Since you know, cooperate well. As long as you do what we’ve instructed, you’ll be fine, and you might even be eligible to go live in the Federation in the future."
"If anyone has other thoughts, don’t bla for killing."
Everyone nodded again, indicating they would cooperate fully.
Lin Chen had already instructed what could be instructed; naturally, these people would know better than to act inappropriately.
Acting inappropriately ans death, who would want to die?
Moreover, based on Lin Chen’s description of the situation, surrendering doesn’t an being enslaved or living in humility; it might even an survival in this "purification cataclysm."
With so many celestial beings in Lin Chen’s family choosing to surrender, why should our group resist?
"Let give you a welco gift."
Soone brought up a box, and upon opening it, revealed several wrist devices.
"You can ask Lin Chen about the use of these wrist devices, one for each person."
Lin Chen nodded slightly to Chu Jiaxue and the others, showing his own wrist device.
Chu Jiaxue and the others each took one first and wore it on their wrists. Although the Netherworld God and others were not too sure of its purpose, seeing others wearing them, they followed suit.
"The wrist devices mustn’t be removed. If anyone removes it, they’ll be considered to have escape intentions, and if caught, will be executed imdiately."
"You will stay here temporarily and await my orders."
After giving these instructions, Zhang Zhongjiu left directly.
As the representative sent by the City Hall, he was purely the military guarantee for this expedition team and would not interfere in the expedition team’s research work.
As soon as he arrived, all celestial beings were subdued. With these celestial beings escorting the expedition team, everything would naturally be worry-free, and his task was virtually complete, leaving only waiting.
Once Zhang Zhongjiu left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They couldn’t feel the powerful coercion from Zhang Zhongjiu and were sowhat puzzled about his strength.
The Creator God fiddled with the wrist device and asked, "Lin Chen, what is this thing?"
Lin Chen demonstrated the functions of the wrist device to everyone and said, "Don’t worry, everyone, the wrist device is just a tool. Its main function at this ti is positioning. Wearing this thing is equivalent to a star coordinate, and Zhang Zhongjiu can instantly be by any of us."
"In the Federation, this thing is essential, a critical tool for everyone. All communications, entertainnt, paynts, etc., are integrated into this wrist device."
After listening to Lin Chen’s explanation, everyone couldn’t help but sigh again.
"What do we need to do now?"
Lin Chen replied, "Cooperate with them in the research, and handle other arrangents yourself. Our survival hinges on this opportunity, so don’t be careless."
Chu Jiaxue worriedly asked, "If the expedition ends up proving our value, then what follows might be the Federation’s army and enforced managent?"
Lin Chen honestly replied, "To be honest, I’m not very sure, nor can I guarantee anything, but if we have no value, everything here will be easily destroyed."
"If we have value and significant value, if we cooperate and strive hard, it might not be impossible to seek a place for ourselves in the Federation."
"It sounds sowhat stifling, but we don’t really have a choice."
"Only by living do we have an opportunity."
Everyone nodded, and the Creator God laughed, "This is nothing. Back then, I was imprisoned by those people and tortured every day for tens of thousands of years. I survived that, so this is nothing."
"The Federation’s purification of our realm has already begun. If you hadn’t gone to the Federation and found us a possible way out, it wouldn’t be long before the entire Heavenly God Realm silently disappeared."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Let’s take it one step at a ti; let’s save ourselves first, then others."
"Alright!"
After calming all the celestial beings, Lin Chen went to Qiao Wei’s place of cultivation.
Qiao Wei sat cross-legged, spiritual Qi surging all over her body.
Although it was a short ti, with the help of top-grade dicinal resources from the Heavenly God Realm, Qiao Wei’s strength had rapidly increased by a whole level.
Sensing Lin Chen’s presence, Qiao Wei’s spiritual Qi converged as she opened her eyes.
"Junior Brother!"
Qiao Wei’s eyes showed unabashed joy as she stood up to greet him.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Senior Sister, how have you been lately?"
Qiao Wei happily replied, "My strength has been improving quickly, but I’ve consud a lot of resources..."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Don’t worry about resources. The entire Heavenly God Realm is under our control; just use them freely."
Qiao Wei asked, "Did you co to find for sothing?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I want to take you to et soone."
"Who?"
Lin Chen took Qiao Wei’s hand and sat her down in the nearby vacant spot, where he began talking about his recent experiences.
He went over everything in detail until Qiao Wei understood, "You want to take to see Dr. Ning?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, you’re the one who taught about tempering the Sword Bone, and you helped complete it. You certainly have deeper insights. With your help, his research can be completed more perfectly, and you can earn credit for it."
"When you get to the Federation, you can continue to improve yourself with the cultivation thods of the warriors there without the limitations of having no divine status, continuing upward."
"He might observe our states, but this holds no harm for us. On the contrary, we can gain many benefits since the Science Council is a unique entity throughout the Federation, holding imnse influence..."
Qiao Wei interrupted Lin Chen and nodded without hesitation, "I’ll listen to you."
