Chapter 1514
Chapter 1514
Late at night, Qin Feng stood on the top floor of the global command center.
The floor below is the main conference room that decides the fate of the world.
Countless far-reaching decisions originated there, guiding the entire civilization forward in the darkness.
Very few people know that there is another hidden space above the main conference room.
This is a separate office that has existed since the global command center tower was first built.
On the entire planet Earth, the number of people with access to this place is no more than five.
Because this is Qin Feng's private domain.
However, this is the first time Qin Feng has actually stepped into this office since it was completed.
Standing in front of the one-way transparent glass curtain wall made of special materials, Qin Feng could almost see the entire Jiangcheng.
Although it was late at night, Jiangcheng was still brightly lit, like a dormant dragon, radiating boundless vitality and warmth.
The roar of factories, the streaks of transport ships, the ceaseless shouts from training grounds everywhere...
All of these elements intertwine to form a magnificent picture of full operation.
Similar scenes are playing out simultaneously in major Xia clan base cities around the world.
"The road ahead is long and arduous..."
Qin Feng sighed softly, his voice ringing out clearly in the empty office.
According to Qingcheng's calculations, the success rate of Earth perfectly implementing his defense and counterattack plan is not optimistic.
Resources, time, technological barriers... each one is a formidable obstacle.
However, Qingcheng also pointed out that human creative potential is limitless.
Even if a civilization develops step by step according to its blueprint, under immense survival pressure, it is highly likely to experience a technological leap that exceeds expectations.
Everything is possible!
"Kid, I heard you've been causing quite a stir in the Star River World lately?"
Suddenly, a voice carrying a hint of mockery and ridicule rang out from the depths of Qin Feng's mind without warning.
Qin Feng was suddenly startled!
That voice… he knew it all too well!
Even when he stepped into the Star River World and faced countless hardships and dangers, he had fantasized several times about hearing that voice again!
"Black robes..."
He blurted it out almost immediately, but before he could finish speaking, everything went black and his consciousness was instantly pulled away.
When he regained his senses, he was already in that familiar, ethereal world of consciousness.
"Lord Warden! You've finally appeared!"
As Qin Feng gazed at the towering, mysterious figure in black robes not far away, an overwhelming surge of excitement welled up on his face.
His voice even trembled slightly, and his sincere expression was as if he had seen a long-lost relative he had missed day and night.
However, the black-robed warden opposite him remained unmoved. Instead, the voice coming from beneath his black robes carried a hint of knowing mockery: "Boy, this tactic might work once, but using it repeatedly just makes it look clumsy. Put away your acting skills."
"My lord, you have truly wronged me!"
Qin Feng's expression was incredibly sincere, and his tone couldn't be more earnest: "I truly mean it. I've been longing to see you again, sir, day and night! Today, my wish has come true, and I'm so overwhelmed with emotion that I can hardly contain myself!"
In the past, Qin Feng only knew that this black-robed prison warden was unfathomable and guessed that he was a big shot of the galaxy level.
But ever since his last adventure, when he used his Star Eye to peer into the depths of the galaxy and caught a glimpse of the black hole guarded by a body comparable to a star, and was even able to keenly sense the terrifying existence he was spying on, he truly understood what a colossal figure was before him!
Faced with such an unimaginable existence, given his current level, it would be perfectly acceptable for him to lower his stance as much as possible.
"Oh?" The black-robed warden let out a cryptic chuckle. "So you miss me so much, perhaps you've found some lucrative business opportunity and wish to trade with me?"
"Yes! I have a big business deal! A fantastic business deal!" Qin Feng nodded hurriedly, his face beaming with smiles.
The black-robed jailer slightly raised his head, signaling him to continue.
"My lord, it's like this." Qin Feng rubbed his hands together, his face full of hope.
"Excuse me... could you do me a small favor? Just blow a breath and turn all those eyesores outside our Earth barrier to dust! And then blow another breath and scatter that damned rule of destruction too? How about that...?"
The world of consciousness fell into an eerie silence.
A moment later, the black-robed jailer suddenly moved.
He did not answer, but slowly walked towards Qin Feng step by step.
In an instant, Qin Feng felt an invisible, icy chill envelop his core consciousness, as if sharp blades were scraping back and forth across his forehead and neck. The shadow of death was clearer than ever before!
He shuddered and quickly said, "My lord, wait! My bargaining chip is the power to control the flow of spacetime inherited from the Primordial Ancestor!"
The black-robed jailer stopped in his tracks.
Qin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
The boss's authority is truly formidable!
In that instant, he felt as if his entire world of consciousness was about to be crushed by an immeasurable force, leaving him utterly powerless to resist!
"My lord, what do you think? Is this deal reasonable?" Seeing that the black-robed warden seemed interested, Qin Feng immediately seized the opportunity.
The black-robed warden remained silent for a moment before speaking, his voice carrying an indescribable meaning: "Boy, do you know how precious the power to control space and time is, even in the vast universe?"
Qin Feng nodded solemnly: "I know! I know even better that this is one of the core abilities left behind by the Origin Ancestor. I obtained this power by chance. If you can agree to my conditions, I am willing to offer this ability to you with both hands!"
“Indeed… willing to part with it.” The black-robed warden seemed to sigh, then took a small step back: “However, I regret to inform you that this deal… cannot be made.”
"Why?" Qin Feng asked urgently.
"There are two reasons." The black-robed warden's seemingly unchanging black robes fluttered slightly, revealing an inexplicable sense of desolation.
"Firstly, the power of time and space is indeed tempting. If it were tens of thousands of years ago, I might have been tempted by it. However, now I have long lost the passion and ambition I had back then. This power is of little use to me now."
Qin Feng stared blankly, wondering to himself: Has this big shot seen through the illusions of the world and grown weary of fighting?
The black-robed warden continued, his tone returning to its usual indifference: "Secondly, the power you possess, I... cannot remove."
Qin Feng was stunned again!
Goodness! After all that, all that world-weary sentiment was just a prelude; the real point is this last sentence, "can't take it off"!
There's no bleakness or regret, it's clearly the helplessness of having the will but not the strength!
"My lord, this ability... even you can't remove it?"
This reflects Qin Feng's genuine confusion and shock.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process of acquiring this ability, it was generally smooth.
In his subconscious, a being as all-powerful as the Black-Robed Warden should be omnipotent!
