Chapter 52: Chapter 52: A New Meteorite Monster!
And the other two Shen Yu each left separately.
Only Shen Yu remained, with Sword Return Two, boarding the helicopter back to the Northern Alliance command center.
It was the first time Sword Return Two saw such a marvelous tool. Although amazed by how it could fly without consuming True Power, he was not overly shocked.
After all, the Martial Arts World also has Puppet Martial Arts.
Using True Power to control threads and mechanisms, it too can have flying puppets.
In comparison, he was more astounded by the many cities he saw along the way.
"Humans are so weak, I wonder how they built such magnificent cities." Sword Return Two couldn’t help but marvel aloud.
The sight of countless high-rises densely towering was rare even in the Martial Arts World.
"The most precious wealth of humankind is wisdom and civilization," Shen Yu said indifferently. "Wisdom offers us more possibilities, and civilization gathers these possibilities and passes them down through generations, eventually creating various seemingly incredible miracles. In this regard, our salvation isn’t solely for personal virtue but also to protect this miracle. After all, the Immortal Court is also created by countless miracles originating from humans."
Sword Return Two was somewhat stunned.
In the Martial Arts World, most powerful individuals focus more on themselves and their factions, while the concept of civilization and the whole world is very vague.
But now, witnessing this entirely different grand city created by countless ’weak ones’ thriving.
Sword Return Two faintly grasped the concept of civilization and seemed to understand what the Immortal before him said.
After a while, he respectfully clasped his hands and said, "As for the grand scheme of the Immortal, we mortals are far from achieving it."
This statement was partly a compliment and partly sincere.
He indeed vaguely realized that the Immortal was different from any powerful figure he had known.
This wasn’t about power.
But rather about perspective, vision, and understanding.
It even sparked a hotter yearning in him.
To observe the vast world and see through time before one can have such a perspective.
The helicopter soon landed in the temporary command center, aside from Lars, a few senior Northern Alliance officials also personally came to greet him. Their expressions were enthusiastic toward Shen Yu while uncontrollably observing Sword Return Two, their astonishment difficult to conceal.
Previously, being scrutinized by a group of people so weak, even in front of an Immortal, Sword Return Two would feel displeased.
In the Martial Arts World, the overlooking by the strong over the weak is deeply rooted in historical culture.
But for some reason, he felt no resentment at this moment; instead, he understood.
Perhaps it was due to the words spoken by the Immortal.
This group, though individually weak, could unite to create miracles.
"No need for superfluous pleasantries," Shen Yu interrupted as they expressed gratitude, and spoke directly. "Although the global Meteorite Crisis handling department has not yet been formally established, it’s imminent. On its behalf, I’m instructing a few things: First, the injured in Jerald City need full treatment. Second, interstellar allies will send ten underground detection devices; it is crucially important to quickly find and resolve all other worms to avoid casualties like today. Third, Sword Return Two will remain here temporarily to assist you in dealing with worms, but I will assign someone to fully handle all of Sword Return Two’s arrangements."
Earlier on the road, Ji Mingshu had already reported to Shen Yu about the multinational meeting’s content.
The establishment of the global Meteorite Crisis handling department is confirmed.
This will become a global institution with very high authority.
It’s to achieve a certain degree of unified power while retaining each nation’s sovereignty.
Of course, the name itself shows this institution is born to respond to doom.
And Shen Yu has gained a very high position.
Although he remains independent of the main structure and does not partake in routine management, in regards to Meteorite Crisis handling, the entire department will unconditionally cooperate with his actions and decisions unless the core team collectively votes against it.
Under such circumstances, the Northern Alliance must heed Shen Yu’s instructions.
And his emphasis on appointing someone to fully handle Sword Return Two’s arrangements was partly due to matters related to other worlds, which is his right and responsibility, and partly due to distrust in some people here.
The interests attached to Sword Return Two are too great, and the local interests too complex.
To be persuaded into doing irrelevant things like blood tests would be a minor issue.
If truly provoked, leading Sword Return Two to indiscriminately rampage, Shen Yu would have difficulty explaining to the Martial Arts World and might affect future cooperative engagement.
Therefore, appointing someone Shen Yu can trust devoid of many interests here as a role similar to an agent holding an independent translator is the best approach now.
Such a person certainly exists.
Shen Yu, after years of running his company using the Gray Mist Space, naturally has trusted aides beyond Ji Mingshu. It’s just that Ji Mingshu’s ability is superior, and others who have been limited by the Gray Mist have been conditioned with fear and favor, trusted to a certain degree and not feared of betrayal, are still plenty.
By directly linking Sword Return Two to his ability, there won’t be much to worry about.
Thus, once a trusted aide arrived and after giving Sword Return Two a few instructions, Shen Yu’s figure disappeared into the Gray Mist, returning to the Eastern Country.
Several messages had been sent to him via Ji Mingshu here.
It seemed that something quite urgent had appeared.
And Shen Yu quickly found several high-level officials in the core area of the Meteorite Crisis handling department, gathered around a tortoise shell with serious expressions.
"You’ve already used the second one?" Shen Yu raised an eyebrow.
He seemed to understand why he was called here personally.
Seeing their expressions, he too felt a bit heavy-hearted.
No foreigners here indicated the next disaster seemed to be occurring in the Eastern Country?
"Advisor Shen, after resolving the crisis in Jerald City, we used the second divination tool in front of multinational representatives," Qi Shichang stood up to explain.
His level was surprisingly the lowest among those present.
The method of using the tortoise shell was also correct.
This item can only divine the nearest crisis, thus must be used after the previous crisis is done to receive a different result.
The crisis in Jerald City had just passed, so using it immediately to determine the location of the next major crisis would help the world better prepare.
"In the Eastern Country?" Shen Yu asked.
"Yes," Qi Shichang nodded emphatically, his face serious, "Moreover, it originates from a meteorite we previously hadn’t confirmed—a new meteorite monster! It’s even grown silently for over three months."
