Chapter 269 Extraordinary Things Abroad
After discussion, a feasible plan was initially identified.
Although zombies are incredibly strong, with strength and speed possibly on par with Superman, and elemental magic might not even be as effective against them (zombies may have higher magic resistance than Superman), they definitely still have some weaknesses.
From a physics perspective, zombies are very likely to be afraid of low temperatures! At the very least, it would affect their movements.
This is far more trustworthy to these people in the United States than Li Muyang drawing a few talismans and sticking them on!
Therefore, all parties began to prepare things that could create a low-temperature environment. Even a frozen man who had almost been dismantled by Liu Dawei was dragged out of prison again to atone for his sins.
Well, he's called a frozen man, but he actually invented a laser freezing gun. In the past, due to an experimental error, he became extremely resistant to low temperatures and is now considered a cold-blooded animal.
Li Muyang and Liu Dawei nodded in agreement with this solution, as they couldn't think of any other way. After all, it wasn't specifically designed to deal with zombies; for professional solutions, they would probably need to seek help from the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving School, the Mountain-Moving School, or the Wild Maoshan School.
The first step was to begin the relocation process.
A set of fortifications has been set up in an open area far from Gotham, and the coordinates have been determined. They are just waiting for Li Muyang to teleport them over one by one.
Although the workload wasn't as heavy as Li Muyang had imagined, he still looked breathless and exhausted. The reason was simple: he was hiding his true abilities.
How can I ask for payment if it's too easy?
Li Muyang wouldn't treat Batman and his crew this way if he were friends, but he's dealing with officials from the U.S. federal government. Do you expect me to work for you for free?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
What malicious intent could Li Muyang possibly have? He just wants to do business—and incidentally, let this world's Master Qiao feel his oppressive aura! Speechless for a moment! Heh heh... cough cough!
It's a pity Li Muyang didn't bring anyone from his company on this trip! Otherwise, they could have started discussing business right now.
As for the zombies... they shouldn't be a big problem...
Looking at Li Muyang, who was sprawled on the sofa like a lump of mud after finishing his work, Liu Dawei was speechless. He could hardly tell the difference in Li Muyang's acting skills!
Even though Li Muyang has already shown enough strength, Liu Dawei still feels that the kid is definitely holding back and hasn't gone all out yet.
At least, moving these zombies wouldn't tire him out at all! He's just being lazy and hiding his true abilities right now.
Oh, and there's also the matter of making the US federal government owe them a favor.
If Li Muyang were just an ordinary person, this kind of favor would be very troublesome, but he is not. Not to mention that the United States covets his father Li Yunfei, even Li Muyang himself, after seeing that he has spatial abilities, makes Layla a little envious!
In addition, it's no secret that Li Muyang started a company. Anyone with a brain can understand Li Muyang's intention: he probably wants to expand the market to the United States!
come on!
If the younger one is taken away, why worry about the older one not coming?
"You'd better withstand the enemy's sweet-coated bullets!" Liu Dawei teased casually.
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "Ha... I'm not stupid!"
What can the US federal government offer Li Muyang?
It's not that Li Muyang looks down on the United States; it's just that their resources are too limited! This world is full of turmoil, and while the United States may appear to be the dominant power on Earth, the resources of other countries are far greater than the last!
Let's not even talk about China, let's talk about India! They also have an Indian pantheon! And they boast about it like crazy!
The United States... their foundation is built up by seizing those little-known, widely known minor pantheons and deities. They would never dare to touch the native Native American gods!
If Quetzalcoatl really reappears, it's already a sign of his good temper that he hasn't destroyed the United States. As for helping him?
Don't spout the nonsense about eternal interests and no eternal enemies. If you can't even protect the race of your believers, why should others trust you? So, fundamentally, the United States could never establish a relationship with Native American pantheons.
Not to mention that overseas resources are monopolized by the powerful and wealthy, and may not even meet Li Muyang's needs!
In Gotham, Li Muyang obtained some of the so-called Dionysian Factor from the Court of Owls, and also collected some Amber Gold... How to put it? These special metals in the DC universe are indeed a scarce resource, and there's something to them, but they're not very useful for cultivators' practice.
For cultivators, this thing might only serve as an aid in refining weapons or pills, not as a necessary resource for cultivation; it can only be considered an external force.
Only those people abroad who don't understand would use these things directly! Batman's view is correct! Because this is indeed a kind of external force, equivalent to cutting off one's own path. Since these things are used directly on living beings, they cut off their possibility of continuing to become stronger, and they can only stagnate forever.
They might be able to enter the extraordinary realm through special effects, but they could never go any further, let alone become immortals or ancestors.
This is probably a tactic used by some foreign religious groups to maintain their rule. It must be admitted that the insatiable desires of these foreigners are indeed difficult to satisfy. If we don't want to be constantly harassed, it is necessary to limit their upward mobility.
Ultimately, it boils down to this: "If you have the principles but not the skills, you can still acquire the skills; if you have the skills but not the principles, you'll only be good at the skills."
Human nature is treacherous, and you can't guard against it all!
Even gods cannot completely eradicate human greed! They can only try to restrain and limit it.
If the people are not of high enough quality and are too selfish, allowing them to wield too much power will be digging their own grave! It will push the development of humanity on Earth toward destruction! Because the only way they can divert hatred and achieve stable development is through barbaric outward expansion and constant plundering of resources!
This development model will inevitably backfire sooner or later!
Of course, these are just Li Muyang's personal opinions. There are certainly people of high moral character abroad, but they are also ordinary people. However, due to social patterns, customs, and limited perspectives, even if some people are willing to change the status quo, they can only remain stagnant and helpless.
Even the general trend of foreign affairs made Li Muyang suspect that it was not impossible for a powerful being to use special means to continuously generate extreme desires or emotions in him, and to collect and accumulate power from them! After all, gods really do exist, and the overall trend of foreign affairs gave Li Muyang a feeling that something was definitely wrong!
For Li Muyang overseas, his role may only be to promote the company's products.
Or, share the burden with enemies that appear from aliens, dimensions, or somewhere else.
Let's forget about the rest! Don't create trouble for ourselves!
After chatting with Liu Dawei for a while, Li Muyang seemed genuinely sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Anyway, with Batman and the others keeping an eye on things, and Liu Dawei around, freezing the zombies wouldn't be a problem. Li Muyang hadn't had a proper rest lately, so he took this opportunity to relax a bit...
However, as soon as Li Muyang closed his eyes, he found himself, after a wave of dizziness, on a boundless expanse of water.
The sky above is an endless blue sky, and beneath your feet is a stretch of water that seems to have no end. Strangely, when you step on it, ripples appear, but you don't get wet.
Most importantly, based on the horizon where the water meets the sky, it can be determined that the water surface here is absolutely flat! It is not a sphere!
Li Muyang sighed deeply. What kind of situation is this?
It seems that person has come looking for us!
I remember Li Yunfei saying before that the Dao Ancestor warned that someone was eyeing Li Muyang. If nothing unexpected happens, it's this person who has come knocking on our door now!
"Ahem! I wonder which senior you are? Can we just say what we want to say? Don't tease the junior." Li Muyang could only shout loudly, his voice causing ripples on the water. After a long while, the water returned to calm, but nothing changed.
Li Muyang could only look around and see nothing but the blue sky and the water!
Trying to communicate with the small world... Hmm! It's obvious I can't get in.
Trying to summon the Shennong Beasts... Hmm!
They were able to make contact, but the problem was that the Shennong Beasts couldn't reach the space where Li Muyang's consciousness was located; they could only appear where his body was, but his consciousness was isolated by an invisible barrier.
"It should be some kind of high-level consciousness space. Mu Yang, can you see anything special?" Shennong Beast asked after a long period of contemplation.
Li Muyang said with a wry smile, "I didn't see anything except the blue sea and sky."
"Can we use the power of chaos?" Shennong Beast suggested again, "Let's see if the power of chaos can affect anything."
Li Muyang tried it out. Hmm, he could mobilize the power of chaos, but he couldn't release it outwards. It was as if all special powers in this space were unable to be released outwards.
After struggling for a while, Li Muyang had tried every method he could think of, but none of them worked!
What else can be done in this situation?
With his eyes closed and legs crossed, Li Muyang calmed his mind and began meditating.
Since we're already here, and Li Muyang has been dragged here without any warning, there's no way he can resist now. Besides, he doesn't even know who he's going to resist or how he'll resist. So instead of panicking pointlessly, we might as well try to calm ourselves down!
This isn't about giving up! Rather, Li Muyang discovered a loophole. Although his power couldn't be displayed in the outside world, both the power of chaos and the power of heaven and earth could still function normally within his consciousness. So, he tried to communicate with this consciousness space to see if he could cause other changes.
After an unknown amount of time, when Li Muyang opened his eyes again, countless changes had appeared around him, all of them were mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas formed from water, including Shennong Beast and a few others, but they were only similar in appearance.
With a wave of his hand, everything returned to calm. Li Muyang got up and was able to leave.
