The Favored Son of Heaven

In the snooker room on the second floor of Cosmo spacecraft, a series of ball collisions sounded again and again. The high-density sound made others wonder if someone was playing mahjong instead of playing snooker.

Qin Fen opened the door and saw several young martial artists who changed positions at lightning speed. The snooker cues in their hands were like weapons on the battlefield, it almost turned into a substantial state as the raging intentions to battle intertwined.

Are they playing snooker or fighting? Qin Fen gave a dumbfounded expression and wondered if he went into the wrong room. The surging battle intentions made others feel that they went in a martial dao hall instead of a snooker hall for leisure entertainment.

Pa! Xue Tian’s beautiful shot hit the last black ball into the pocket. Everyone else also hit their own last black ball almost at the same time.

“Old Qin, you finally woke up. Let’s have one round?” Xue Tian smiled and looked at Qin Fen, “Hey? What’s going on? You seem different from before. It seems like your temperament this time is different.”

Yang Lie nodded slowly and agreed with Xue Tian’s opinion.

Although Caesar and others did not speak, they had expressions that showed uncertainty. It was really strange that Qin Fen could change his temperament just by sleeping.

Qin Fen looked at everyone and realized that they were not just bored and spending their time sitting in the spaceship. Everyone’s spirit had new changes, especially everyone’s battle intent. It was almost as abundant as the day of the recruit tournament. It could be said that it was even more than that day. He never thought that snooker could cause such an effect.

Qin Fen walked to the cue holder next to the snooker table. He simply grabbed a cue and recalled Lu Bu in his mind. His invincible heart welcomed the world’s heroes to challenge him with the Heaven Scorcher Halberd in his hands.

Huhu… Qin Fen slightly turned his wrist and waved the cue a few times. Although he had never played snooker, things that needed the control and calculation of power wouldn’t be something too difficult for the martial dao grandmaster.

Qin Fen gradually understood the hit and position of the ball after trying dozens of shots. He looked at Xue Tian and smiled. The cue in everyone’s hands hit the cue ball at the same time, a crisp kick-off sounded. The cue in the hands of everyone suddenly became the big gun in the ancient battlefield that killed the enemy, only shadows were left in the room.

Three hours passed, and everyone came out of the room smiling from ear to ear. Qin Fen finally won Xue Tian, who was invincible in the snooker room, with a slight advantage. Although it was not an actual war with real knives, guns, or fists, it would at least stop Xue Tian’s arrogance for now.

“Well…” Xue Tian walked and stood beside Qin Fen. He thought about it for a long time, then he suddenly smiled and said, “Haha, I finally understand! It turns out that Old Qin’s electric step was actually like this. When we play snooker next time, the loser might be you, Old Qin.”

Qin Fen smiled. The competition on the snooker table was not a fistfight after all. It would not be able to express all the strengths of both sides, but at least I had an advantage over Xue Tian just now based on my movement techniques. My shots were faster than any other player, a small amount of time was also saved by combining the electric step with the shots. This little and nearly negligible time was the key to my victory.

They were very lucky during the last twenty hours in space as they did not encounter any rumored cosmic pirates. Qin Fen looked at the huge halo of Saturn through the window; the halo formed with pieces of large and small ice cubes looked indescribably magical when it was viewed closely.

Qin Fen flipped through the handbook issued by the spacecraft as he looked at Saturn from close range. The current scientific community was still debating endlessly about how both Saturn and Jupiter materialized, as both were originally gas planets. All kinds of guesses were recorded in this manual, allowing passengers to choose the way they could accept.

The illumination of the mysterious cosmic rays caused the gas planet to suddenly materialized.

The gas decomposed by itself and suddenly materialized after a collision with some special stars.

The debatable mysterious and unknown aliens, who had never been seen or heard before, materialized Saturn with some mysterious technology, in order to prepare for landing on Earth.

Looking at all of the guesses from the e-book, the guess about aliens was the most accepted and agreeable one.

Qin Fen couldn’t deny any of the guesses above, he did not know which one to accept either. If I have to accept one, I would also be biased towards the guess of aliens. These two planets weren’t the only real changes in the world, after all. Nothing could give a more reasonable explanation about the large number of mutant creatures on Earth.

In addition to the planet’s sudden changes and the magical appearance of the large number of mutant creatures, there were also things about the Atlantis historical remains.

After watching the strength of today’s martial dao and the masters, it was clearly seen that no matter whether it was technology or martial strength, Atlantis was far above today’s human society.

How did such a strong Atlantis become a relic? Did the people of Atlantis immigrate? Or were they destroyed by some unknown forces? If Atlantis was wiped out by unknown forces, where would the unknown forces be now? If Atlantis people immigrated interplanetary, why would they want to have interstellar immigration? Where did they go? They never thought about coming back to take a look?

One question could lead to a series of questions. Qin Fen gently shook his head, the master never told me about anything other than martial dao. I must ask him when I have time, why there’s this Limit Codex and where did the Atlantis people go to?

The cosmo spacecraft had entered the huge atmosphere now. The huge hull made a rumble as it had friction with the air and the hull shook a little. Qin Fen looked at the frictional burning air outside the window. These flashes of brilliance were unspeakably gorgeous.

“Attention to all passengers, welcome to Saturn, a city that has just begun to develop. Our landing location is one of the most prosperous cities on Saturn, Wushuang city. It is invested and constructed by one of Saturn’s two largest groups, Tianmen Group. Tianmen Group is an emerging group with a huge amount of funds and a good reputation in Saturn…”

The female flight attendants were introducing the precautions about Saturn seriously, as it was best not to be an adventurer and explore in the wilderness of mountains and rivers as there were more mutant creatures here than Earth. Many martial artists with good martial strength levels entered the mountains that looked bigger than the Himalayas with weapons and they never came back.

A few middle-aged men who were not far away from Qin Fen had disdainful smiles on their faces. They clenched their fingers into fists and their whole body revealed an eager aura to give it a try.

The flight attendants glanced at these few men and did not say anything. There would always have such passengers for every ship that travels to Saturn, the only difference was the number of people.

After the appearance of mutant creatures, many major scientific research institutions also wanted to find things that could contribute to human development from these creatures. It naturally developed a group of wage earners. They were either alone or combined into a mercenary-like organization, having activities with different planets, capturing different mutant creatures, and selling it to research organizations that needed it in exchange for more funds.

The spacecraft steadily landed on the ground and the crowd went down the spaceship one after another. At the baggage collection area, Qin Fen saw a few mercenaries who carried huge iron boxes and walked out of the hall excitedly.

The female flight attendant stood beside Qin Fen and gently shook her head as she looked at the mercenaries who carried heavy weapons. These martial artists, whose martial strengths were not strong enough, wanted to rely solely on weapons and survive on Saturn. However, they were afraid it wasn’t that easy. Even if they really caught a valuable mutant creature, it being stolen by others was something else to be worried about.

These few men weren’t the only ones fighting for mutant creatures in Saturn. Often, several groups would fight awfully for a single mutant creature, even the Elysium would secretly make a move and conduct plunder. This wasn’t considered news for the people who lived on Saturn for a long time.

Qin Fen slowly observed the rumored planet. I didn’t even have enough money to fly in the past, but today I went through a journey between the planets. Life is really amazing.

The advertisement of the Flying Hearts was projected through a large projection screen in the huge hall, the hot rock music MV sounded from time to time with the two girl’s cute expressions.

The huge posters of Flying Hearts were also on the wall not far away. Many multi-angled surveillance cameras were placed next to the poster.

They had no choice, Flying Hearts was just too popular these days. If their huge posters were not monitored by the surveillance cameras, others would ‘steal’ their posters by force the moment it was put onto the wall.

Yang Lie activated his phone, opened the map, and quickly positioned it. The Federation military headquarters was not set up in Wushuang Town.

In fact, not many people knew about the real Federation military headquarters. A senior personnel sent to Saturn by the Federation military headquarters would get attacked easily due to the existence of Elysium and Inferno. Thus, the building on Saturn marked with the military headquarters of Saturn was not the real conductor.

The true Federation military headquarters conductors issued a series of orders in some other relatively hidden places.

“Not in Wushuang city.” Yang Lie looked at the real location of the military headquarters, “It’s in Qiankun City, between the two powerful Elysium and Inferno.”

As time went on, a clearer boundary line was formed as Saturn’s two big forces battled with each other. It was a straight and narrow boundary line. Several cities were built on this boundary line.

Qiankun City, Haiwang City, Reincarnation City, and World’s King City, the four most famous cities on the whole centerline. Their status was as similar to Zhongzhou’s Shanghai, Taipei, and Tokyo, each of them was a city with a developed economy and trade.

These were not the only four cities on this centerline, but these were the four most famous cities. They were the buffer for both sides and also the economic trade cities to connect both sides at the same time.

Based on the electronic map, the strength of Elysium and Inferno was like a border between the countries before the Federation’s establishment.

The real military headquarters commanders were in Qiankun City. Qin Fen and others did not even leave the hall, they bought several air tickets and flew directly to the next city.

Qin Fen once again observed Saturn from a high altitude as he took the plane. This planet was much larger than Earth. It did not have as much seawater as Earth. It could be seen when he flew here from space. The gigantic Saturn was not blue.

Saturn was a huge planet formed by pieces of blue and green, this planet that had not been overexploited by humans yet still had a large number of plants.

Being able to have such a natural environment was because first, the divine beast martial artist was not produced yet. Second, it was because there were too many mutant creatures in the forests. It was a good thing that they did not attack the city. The Federation did not want to over-irritate the large number of mutant creatures on the planet.

Qin Fen saw a big bird flying in the sky not far away from the plane as he heard a bird chirp. There were big birds flying in the sky at an altitude of thirty-thousand feet? The golden feathered wings opened, and each wing was about one foot long. The body looked very strong, it had some similarities with the mythical legend, golden-winged Dapeng.

Golden Dapeng? Qin Fen was slightly shocked. This type of mutant creature could be known from the data that it was a rare species. It could even exceed the speed of the civil aviation if it flew at full speed, it was considered a fierce airborne bird. When the wing’s feathers inflated and launched, its power could be equally compared to an AK47 bullet and it would easily destroy the human body.

“I think this can be sold for a lot of money right?” Qin Fen smiled. If I had a very dull life in the army, dull to the point of retirement, perhaps I might come to Saturn to be a real mercenary? Risking my life to capture this golden Dapeng…

Qin Fen looked at the golden Dapeng outside the window and the Dapeng flying in the sky also looked at Qin Fen. The captain’s cockpit was already panicked and nervous.

“Oh no! A golden Dapeng appeared!”

“Golden Dapeng? Call support immediately and request for Tianmen Group’s control and defense support.”

“There won’t be enough time! This golden Dapeng may launch an attack at any time!”

“Who did the area detection, didn’t they say that there was no golden Dapeng on this route?”

“Prepare to inform the passengers, let them prepare a parachute on their body. Wait until the plane is hit by Dapeng, then let everyone jump immediately. It will be based on luck from now on. Unlucky ones will be eaten by Dapeng, lucky ones will land safely.”

The captain’s room had a burst of helpless and sad aura. This golden Dapeng was fast and could even shoot down fighters. They were considered the kings of the sky. Their instinct as the sky lord would activate long as they saw something flying in the sky, and they would launch an attack regardless of who the other party was.

A martial dao master had once released strong battle intents and strength as he sat on the plane. As usual, the golden Dapeng launched an attack with no trace of politeness. The golden Dapeng was then killed by the martial dao master, but the plane was already hit by the golden Dapeng.

Even if it encountered a fierce opponent and knew that there was no chance of winning, the golden Dapeng would not retreat. This was the record of the golden Dapeng in the mutant creature’s biological data.

Qin Fen quietly looked at the golden Dapeng outside the window. The golden Dapeng’s pair of eyes were full of desires to attack looking back at Qin Fen through the window vigilantly.

The plane flew for hundreds of kilometers in one breath and the golden Dapeng still did not attack. Everyone in the captain’s room felt that it was strange. What happened to the golden Dapeng? Shouldn’t it launch an attack immediately?

Qin Fen looked at the golden Dapeng outside and waved his hand, “You go away.”

The faint three words couldn’t really pass through the cabin, but it seemed as if Dapeng really heard it. It made a strange chirping sound in the air, drew a huge arc and flew away without turning back.

“What is going on? Why did the golden Dapeng fly away?”

Several pilots in the captain’s room were stunned, no one could explain the mystery they saw.

Caesar looked at Qin Fen in the front row and sighed softly. There was a kind of arrogance and obstinance in the bones of this golden Dapeng. Even if I emitted a lord aura with my imperial martial dao, it would only provoke the golden Dapeng’s fierce counterattack. I did not expect that Qin Fen could make the golden Dapeng retreat just by looking at it, without releasing any aura.

Caesar stretched again with a somewhat helpless expression, his martial dao strength had improved to the point where it was almost unprecedented. Except for the rumored Azura Dragon whose age was unknown, it broke the record for the speed of improvement out of all martial artists in history. However, Qin Fen was still ahead of him, it was even more unacceptable that Qin Fen was pushing his miraculous young martial artists farther ahead.

“I will stand at the top of the peak and wait for you.”

Qin Fen’s proud aura during the Recruit Tournament suddenly appeared in Caesar’s mind again. He suddenly found out that the current Qin Fen was overlapping with the Qin Fen that day. He was clearly so calm and peaceful now, but why did it give others the feeling that he was standing on the peak waiting for everyone to challenge him?

“The peak…” Caesar’s helpless smile was full of fighting spirit again, “Do you want to stand on the peak? That’s good! I will rush up to the peak and challenge you again.”

After the five hours flight, the huge plane had once again landed at Qiankun City’s airport.

Qin Fen immediately felt a heatwave coming straight to his face right after getting off the plane. This relatively southern city was much hotter than Wushuang city in the north.

Out of the airport, Yang Lie rented a medium-sized business magnetic flying car directly from the airport as everyone’s transportation. He then connected the magnetic flying car’s computer to the electronic map on the mobile phone and directly used the automatic navigation system to head towards the true Federation military headquarters center address, Enlaike Business Co. Ltd.

Wushuang City’s environment was similar to Earth. In particular, Qin Fen felt like he was in Hainan Province, as there were coconut-like fruit trees everywhere.

The coconut trees here were different from those on earth purely due to all things have their rightful place. The coconuts that used to be bigger than fists looked like the size of walnuts and were clustered in a bunch, and it gave people a feel of the exoticism.
