Ch 88: Wang Yangming: I Personally Witnessed the Regent and the Heavenly Khan Join Forces to Save the World

Second Level Heroic Spirit World.

Inside a teahouse.

Chu Mo leisurely sipped his tea, his fingers lightly swiping across the illusory screen before him, browsing the trending news on the Second Level Heroic Spirit Network.

Of the top ten news items on the charts, two were about the Regent, and three were about the Heavenly Khan. The Heavenly Khan had more because his presence had been outrageously high in the past two days.

“Have you heard?” a tea patron next to him suddenly said mysteriously to his companion. “It’s said that Dorgon’s Imperial Father Society was single-handedly taken down by the Heavenly Khan!”

As the tea patron spoke, he gesticulated animatedly, growing more excited as he went on. “Thousands of demon soldiers were crushed all the way in by the Heavenly Khan. If Dorgon hadn’t been quick and scurried through a dog hole, his head probably would have been shoved into a latrine by the Heavenly Khan.”

“I know, I know! It’s said that Huang Taiji also had his legs broken by the Heavenly Khan!” The listener nodded solemnly.

“I heard someone say it was because Huang Taiji spoke disrespectfully of the Sage Regent, enraging the Heavenly Khan! That’s why his legs were broken.” Another person chimed in, his expression turning strange as he spoke. “So, what exactly is the relationship between the Sage Regent and the Heavenly Khan?!”

After a brief moment of contemplation, someone cautiously offered, “Close friends who love and hate each other… maybe?!”

“Something feels off! Is it just me?” Yet another person fell into deep thought.

Chu Mo: “……”

These rumors, they’re all rumors!

The Heavenly Khan had indeed turned the Second Level Heroic Spirit World upside down recently. However, he didn’t only attack the Demon Qing forces; he also challenged the Demon Extermination Society, the Xuanyuan Sect, and other organizations… But for some inexplicable reason, the stories about him attacking the Demon Qing forces had caught fire.

Moreover, a bunch of people liked to embellish the stories, insisting on dragging the Regent into the mix.

It was all pure nonsense!

Chu Mo almost laughed out of anger listening to it all. From beginning to end, none of it involved Chu Mo himself, since his whole point in creating the One Qi Transformation was to maintain a low profile.

With the One Qi Transformation, even if he capsized in the Heroic Spirit World, it was just an incarnation that would dissipate into Qi on the spot, proving nothing. But if he went up there himself and capsized, he might have his alias stripped away… Then he’d really be screwed.

“Out of sight, out of mind.” Chu Mo calmed himself down, glancing at the sky with a strange expression.

Tenth on the Battle Power Chart, the Heavenly Khan!

At the same time, the Heavenly Khan was also seventeenth on the Spirit Chart, first on the Strength Chart, first on the Qi Chart, and third on the Speed Chart.

It was all very astonishing. In the two days since he started, the Demonic Avatar had achieved results comparable to what Chu Mo’s main body had achieved in the First Level Heroic Spirit World. Keep in mind that the Demonic Avatar was ultimately just an incarnation, not the main body.

Although the Demonic Avatar could cleverly use Heroic Spirit Skills, or rather, what he used wasn’t Heroic Spirit Skills but his own power—so this power didn’t have the legendary boost of Heroic Spirit Skills, being similar in nature but weaker than the Heroic Spirit Skills themselves.

In other words, being in the top ten of the Battle Power Chart was the result of the Demonic Avatar not being able to truly unleash all the power of Chu Mo’s Heroic Spirit’s demonic side.

Most importantly, the Qi and physique strength of the Demonic Avatar were only half of Chu Mo’s—and yet, with all these limitations, the Demonic Avatar had not suffered a single defeat in the Second Level Heroic Spirit World so far.

“Just as I expected…” Chu Mo mused. Even if it was only half, it was still half of what he had honed over millions of years.

Suddenly, a conversation between two people caught Chu Mo’s attention. They were a man and a woman; the man had silver hair, and the woman had golden hair, both with blue eyes, clearly not natives of the Divine Province.

Chu Mo was a little surprised. The Divine Province was so vast that it took a long time to reach even the third-tier main cities, and entering the main city of his own domain required several years of travel… How long did it take these foreigners to come to the Divine Province?!

Since transmigrating, this was the first time Chu Mo had seen foreigners, even in the Heroic Spirit World.

“The Heavenly Khan, the demon lord who once unified the entire world except for the Great Ming.” The silver-haired man frowned. “A second Genghis Khan? The Scourge of God? The Antichrist? Does such a person really exist… How have we never heard of him?”

“Even though it all seems fake no matter how you look at it, don’t forget what the teacher said! After we sent the information back, the teacher’s attitude was more intense than ever…” the golden-haired woman said. “Moreover, the Heroic Spirit awakened by the teacher, according to comparisons… seems to be from the late Ming Dynasty! The Romanov Dynasty had just been established at that time.”

“I know, but…” The silver-haired man clenched his fists, gnashing his teeth in frustration. “How can this be real?!”

“The Romanovs… the Russian Empire?” Chu Mo’s expression turned strange for a moment. His Demonic Avatar used people from the Russian Empire very smoothly. Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that they might have already been trained by Genghis Khan during the Yuan Dynasty… There were too many things wrong with this.

“If it’s true, history will be rewritten… This is very bad! It means that at some point, the overall national strength of the Great Ming was enough to match the entirety of Europe, which contradicts the history I’ve learned.” The more the silver-haired man spoke, the more agitated he became. “And if that’s the case, the Industrial Revolution was started by the Great Ming! This must be a conspiracy by the Divine Province.”

Chu Mo rolled his eyes. Match Europe? The Great Ming was matching the Demonic Empire. Not to mention that the main force of the Demonic Empire was demons, he figured that the Demonic Empire’s territory wasn’t just Europe… There were too many things wrong with this.

“The teacher said before… a group of historical researchers will soon enter the Divine Province region of the Second Level Heroic Spirit World… The teacher hopes that our people can have a conversation with that Heavenly Khan!” The golden-haired woman took a deep breath.

“Perhaps… we can unravel many unsolved mysteries!”

The silver-haired man was clearly reluctant but didn’t say much more about it.

“The Divine Province region! Does that mean the Heroic Spirit World is divided into regions?” Chu Mo frowned.

He had always thought that the Heroic Spirit World was created by the Divine Province, since the artificial intelligence system used was the Nüwa system… But now it seemed that perhaps it wasn’t the case?!

“It’s getting more and more mysterious!” Chu Mo finished his tea. “Well, according to the situation I’ve probed so far in the Second Level Heroic Spirit World, if I’m at my peak and can use all my skills, spending enough time, I should be able to reach the top of the Battle Power Chart?”

Of course, this would take at least one to two months.

◈◈◈

Chu Mo glanced at his remaining 70,000 merit points and dismissed the thought from his mind… Don’t ask why; it was because he was rich! He had money!

He didn’t lack merit points, so why would he waste his energy fighting for a month?

The Second Level Heroic Spirit World was great; the merit point rewards for each chart were ten times the rewards for the equivalent merit point charts in the First Level Heroic Spirit World.

Moreover, with two accounts, Chu Mo could log in to the other account if he needed money and run through the charts again. Chu Mo had tried it out a little before, secretly switching to Zhao Mo’s account and discovering that he could also get merit points for breaking records…

Anyway, after realizing this bug, the Heroic Spirit World was like a half-cracked version of Alipay in Chu Mo’s eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening rang out.

A slender figure walked in from outside the door. It was a very peculiar man, gentle and refined yet with a sharp, sword-like gaze.

He scanned the scene, and the originally bustling teahouse quieted down. Everyone stared at the man with a mix of bewilderment, contemplation, and shock. Many people recognized his identity.

“It’s… it’s…”

“Wang Yangming? Why would he be here!”

“I heard that he fought a battle with Kublai Khan’s son, Ogedai Khan, in the nearby Unlimited Fighting Zone! But he should be in bad shape after that battle… How is he now!”

The golden-haired girl and silver-haired boy from before also changed their attitudes. They looked at Wang Yangming with excitement and a hint of trepidation. Even for them, Wang Yangming could be called famous.

Wang Yangming seemed not to hear the surrounding chatter, immediately locking onto Chu Mo sitting in the corner and walking over. “Friend, may I sit here?”

“Suit yourself.” Chu Mo said succinctly, then glanced at Wang Yangming. “But I don’t think you’re just looking for a table to share, are you?”

After all, there were empty tables nearby.

“I just wanted to meet you!” Wang Yangming said sincerely, looking Chu Mo up and down, his eyes filled with peculiar emotions.

He had clearly recognized Chu Mo… or rather, he had come specifically for Chu Mo!

He suddenly gave a wry smile. “You might not believe me if I said it, but I’ve seen you in a dream!”

Chu Mo didn’t speak.

“I’m clearly not a Heroic Spirit from the late Ming Dynasty; I shouldn’t have any connection with you… But I inexplicably dreamed that the world was collapsing and being destroyed, and you and the Heavenly Khan joined forces to fight against it!”

“The world… perhaps it really was on the verge of destruction! Was it your Heroic Spirits who saved this world?” Wang Yangming’s words were somewhat uncertain.

Chu Mo: “……”

Good heavens! Was this a memory from the time he fought the Black Emperor? No, this wasn’t a memory; memories should awaken directly… But the person in front of him said it was a dream…

“So… Wang Yangming still retains some of his original will in that state?” Chu Mo muttered to himself. “Is it the special nature of a sage? Or do all of the Black Emperor’s collectibles have this characteristic?!”

However, Wang Yangming, after having this dream, clearly took the small space of the Divine Palace as the real world, and connected the destruction of the small world of the Divine Palace to the destruction of the world…

Although Chu Mo had indeed saved the world, it was clearly different from what he thought.

The wrong process, but the right result…

But what made Chu Mo most speechless was that, as he talked with Wang Yangming, he discovered… Wang Yangming actually thought that he was on Chu Mo’s side in that battle to save the world… Get a grip; you were his enemy back then!

Chu Mo remembered vividly that at least several dozen demon soldiers had fallen at Wang Yangming’s hands… That was the loss of demon soldiers in a battle formation state! This had caused some trouble for the Demonic Avatar at the time.

There were too many things wrong with this, to the point that Chu Mo was temporarily unable to retort. But at the same time, he also felt a little apprehensive… After all, if all the collected beings had memories…

That would be all the strong people from the East and West over the past thousand years.

Moreover, in that case, these people should all have a very deep impression of Chu Mo, or rather, the Regent and the Heavenly Khan.

“Wait!” Chu Mo suddenly exclaimed, had the identities of the Heavenly Khan and the Regent been exposed by the Black Emperor? He immediately became serious, constantly probing, and then confirmed…

The other party had no idea about this at all! They hadn’t even thought about it in this direction…

Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief while also feeling that it was normal. Wang Yangming even thought that he was on the side of justice; how could he be expected to have a correct understanding of that battle?!

Of course, although Chu Mo was worried, he wasn’t too worried. Frankly, even if the Heavenly Khan’s alias was really exposed, outsiders would only be shocked, and no one would really want to pick a fight with Chu Mo because of it… Chu Mo would still live his life as he always had.
