The Favored Son of Heaven-Chapter 578 - Big News

Chapter 578: Big News

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“The time has been set for the Great Ensemble.”

Number One brought news that changed the relatively peaceful ambiance of the room immediately.

The Great Ensemble! It’s the Great Ensemble that we’ve heard of since we were in the Sacred Martial Hall. They’re finally going to implement it!

“In half a year.” Number One read the news that it just received, “The four great divine beast martial artists have jointly announced that all martial artists on every planet are not allowed to have any private battles of life and death from now on. The Great Ensemble will be held after six month’s time. If there is any grievance between individuals or organizations, it’ll all be settled during the Great Ensemble! Before the Great Ensemble, if anyone conducts any private battles, it’ll be regarded as a provocation towards the four great divine beast martial artists, and the individuals involved will be punished by a divine beast martial artist! No matter what your identity is, even if you are the son or brother or any other relatives of a divine beast martial artist, you’ll definitely be killed!”

The message was full of harsh warnings. It revealed the wish of the four divine beasts and set a deadline for all martial artists. When a final time limit was set, it acted as a binding spell as well as a whip that motivated people to move forward. It was also a means of eliminating weak people through selection.

Because of the time limit, people who couldn’t stand the pressure of it would certainly have psychological breakdowns, while those who could withstand the pressure of time limit meant that they had successfully gone through a psychological strength test.

For half a year, they didn’t need to worry about any life-threatening opponent and could fully focus on cultivating martial dao! After this period, things would return to the cruel law of the jungle that emphasized on the survival of the fittest!

Everyone who practiced martial arts would more or less have grievances with other martial artists. Many of them were even deep grudges. What would happen between them half a year later?

Too many accidents could happen within half a year.

A person’s martial arts technique might not be able to have the slightest progress in half a year’s time, staying the same throughout the period of time.

A person’s martial dao could also have a sudden advancement and grow to a completely different height. Two people who originally had the same strength might turn into a situation where one side would be knocked out with just a single move by the other.

It was expected that this half a year would be full of surprises and variables.

After half a year, one might become famous.

After half a year, one might also be killed in the ring by his rival.

This would be the six months to eliminate all distractions and to really devote one’s all to cultivating martial dao.

It was a perfect time frame. The four divine beast martial artists had carefully calculated the optimal time frame for martial artists to concentrate completely on martial dao under a depressing ambiance so that they could demonstrate their potential to the max.

The news came too suddenly without any warning beforehand.

Since their first day of entering the Sacred Martial Hall, everyone had heard more than once that The Great Ensemble would be held soon. However as time went by, there was no sign of The Great Ensemble at all. Everyone was somewhat mentally relaxed.

However, the moment everyone let their guard down, the four divine beasts announced the date of The Great Ensemble. The news had once again lifted the spirit of Qin Fen and the others.

Armistice for half a year! The news was spread to Number One’s Founding Society, Zhang Hao’s Founding Society, residents on Venus who were having a hard time fighting over the title of the divine beast, and every organization on Saturn. All of them had no choice but to stop fighting and killing each other immediately.

The bustling martial artists’ world quieted down completely along with the message sent out by the four divine beast martial artists.

The young martial artists in this cold room of the Founding Society looked at each other, shaking their heads as they saw each other’s bitter smile.

They chose to come to Saturn with the initial intention of fighting over the title of the divine beast on Saturn. Unexpectedly, before they had a chance to start the fight to decide who would have the title, the four divine beasts had announced such an order.

Yang Lie was the first who smiled, “Half a year? It’s a good time frame. Looks like we have the advantage this time.”

Brooks nodded slightly without denying it. As for Saturn’s military, who had yet to secure their ground on Saturn, who could only protect themselves against the Elysium and Inferno by threatening the two organizations with the idea of siding against the organization that touched them; half a year was their best opportunity to recuperate and expand their strength.

Half a year! Du Peng, who rarely smiled, showed a smile on his face. No one in the military headquarters lacked talent or martial dao’s apprehension. What they really lacked was time, experience, and enlightenment!

Among those, they couldn’t really do anything to pursue enlightenment, as they needed to go through continuous battles in order to accumulate experience. As for time… this factor was totally out of the young martial artists’ control.

Time treated everyone in the world fairly; whether you were a billionaire or a street beggar, everyone only had twenty-four hours a day. No one would be given more just because of their identity.

Qin Fen must also admit that what he lacked the most was time! Now that the four divine beast martial artists had taken action together to forcefully prevent all battles between martial artists, it was indeed wonderful news for him.

“Half a year…” Brooks patted the sword at his waist, staring at the vast jungle in the projection screen, “How much stronger will I become in half a year? This is really a period of time that’s full of imagination.”

Qin Fen looked at Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota; the two mad scientists could no longer hold themselves together. They had entered Pandora to take many materials, they had collected countless samples that would be useful for scientific research. Among those collected materials, Enzo Rota had even brought back the body of a Devil Marshal with only a damaged heart and was relatively well preserved.

“Let’s go.” Qin Fen was relieved because of the message from the divine beasts. He walked towards the door, “Let’s head back first, we have half a year full of possibilities. Of course, others have the same asset as us.”

Number One didn’t try to stop them this time. It had also transferred the various design drawings of different fighting robots into Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota’s personal hard disks through technological means.

The remaining fighting robots marched out the room in unison, following Lin Liqiang.

One after another huge transporter aircraft flew across the sky of Saturn. It was their first time landing the aircraft openly at the airport temporarily rented by the military.

After that, one after another, huge container trucks that were carrying almost two hundred fighting robots as well as the new metals and new energy that they had collected followed. They drove quickly towards the military headquarters which was now completely exposed, but they no longer had to worry about getting attacked by any forces.

The Great Ensemble would be held in half a year. All the major organizations retreated their combat forces, and they switched their focus to economic and technological developments.

Without all the fighting and killing, the scientists in the fields of new energy and new metals began to immigrate to Saturn, with the financial help from several major families on Earth. They had also brought along all the high-tech machinery with them.

The military headquarters was on Saturn, Qin Fen was here, and even the Dragon Hall’s headquarters could be said to have set here. For the scientists, the future divine beast martial artist of Saturn would also be living here. It would be a good choice for them to come in advance to adapt to the lifestyle of Saturn.

As soon as they reached Saturn, scientists from the two research groups immediately divided up a large proportion of the new metals and new energy.

Here, they didn’t need to hold themselves back with Qin Fen, and everyone understood that. Instead of licking Qin Fen’s boots, it was better for them to whip up some useful research results in order to gain respect and appreciation from Qin Fen.

Dragon Hall, with Zhang Xiangyang’s effort, had not only brought the members together into a warm community, but every member was also trained to be highly-efficient, like a precise machine. Even the Saturn military soldiers were praising them for that. The new members were even more efficient than professional soldiers. Looking at their performance, some even doubted their own identity as soldiers.

Both Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota both temporarily gave up their chances to improve on martial dao during this half a year agreement. Compared to the attraction of martial dao, the two preferred their own research, which was the new human being!

Everyone who joined their small research group was shocked by this topic, and they praised it, saying that it would be a huge topic that could truly determine the future of mankind! Those who participated in the research would become like the gods in myths and legends!

“Train my martial dao? I really wanted to! However, as long as I’m still interested in the new human being, I can’t really focus entirely on martial dao. On the contrary, I can fully concentrate on researching the new human being. As for fighting over the title of the divine beast martial artist, or the hard work of battling the Queen Bee, Old Qin, I bet you wouldn’t mind doing our parts as martial artists for me and Old Enz.”

Battling the Queen Bee! This was a topic that couldn’t be avoided.

Qin Fen believed that the decision to hold The Great Ensemble half a year later was not being set simply and irresponsibly by the four divine beast martial artists.

The reason behind holding The Great Ensemble half a year later was likely to have a certain connection with the upcoming war in Pandora. As for what the connection was, the divine beast martial artists might be the only ones who knew the answer to it.

Soon, several professional personnel who were the experts in machinery also came and joined them. The blueprints of God Killer left by Gun King, who was Qin Fen’s master, soon fell into the hands of these mad scientists.

After having new metals, it had granted new possibilities to some previously impossible ideas that Gun King had when he was making the God Killer. The problems were solved after the emergence of these metals.

As a future weapon user, Lin Ling became the supervisor of the God Killer project. Lin Ling’s sniper skills, as well as her melee battle skill, were really invincible in the Federation! As long as the conditions were right, Qin Fen believed that Lin Ling could kill Tagatha with her sniper gun!

Of course, Qin Fen would never let others kill Tagatha for him as he would have to do it himself.

The busy days passed in a blink of an eye. Qin Fen finally got out of dealing with all kinds of tasks, and he no longer needed to worry about those trivial things.

Qin Fen had finally understood that he could never really get out of the troubles of certain tasks just because he employed some professionals to work for him.

Qin Fen did not schedule himself too tightly in this half a year’s time. This time frame was not very long, but it was not too short either. As long as the time was utilized reasonably, one could do a lot of things in half a year!

After he finished dealing with the trivial matters, Qin Fen planned to sleep well in seclusion! He achieved the breakthrough of the Celestial Aura realm in Pandora. Qin Fen could be sure that he would no longer be regarded as an immature child who could only make small noises by other martial dao masters. This time, he would have the chance to have serious battles with the masters. It would be crazy if he wouldn’t take advantage of his natural strength.

“Qin Fen…”

Dragon Hall’s latest invention — an anytime, anywhere pager — was beeping on Qin Fen’s waist. Xue Tian’s lazy voice came out of it, “Our masters from the Sacred Martial Hall have come to Saturn. They are about to land…”

“Is that so?” Qin Fen hurried out of the base and replied, “Which airport? Let’s go and pick them up from the cosmo spacecraft.”
