Global Mutation: Become Unbeatable by Plundering the Gods

107: Sacrifice - Eternal Night Returns to RuinsHe took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Gao Yun absolutely could not die. If anything happened to Gao Yun, the entire Godfall City would face pressure from multiple parties, not just from The Watchers; the Xia Country officials would also intervene.

Furthermore, it was unrealistic for Divine Gene to dispatch a Demigod to Godfall City to replace Gao Yun. After all, Divine Gene controlled many areas, and their personnel were already stretched thin.

As the communication link was established, it was quickly answered. Immediately after, a holographic projection appeared directly before Shen Lang.

The figure was a middle-aged man with a stern and cold countenance. His features bore a seventy percent resemblance to Shen Lang’s, but his eyes were like ten-thousand-year-old ice. Even as a mere projection, one could feel the oppressive force emanating from the depths of his Soul.

This was Shen Lang’s father, Shen Wubing, the current rotating chief-in-charge of Divine Gene and a Late-Stage Demigod powerhouse!

”Father, I’ve run into some trouble here. I need you to send reinforcements,” Shen Lang said, steeling himself to speak.

”A very talented Triple-element Awakened One appeared on The Watchers’ side. While Gao Yun secretly made a move intending to abduct them, he was ambushed by Wei Guangming and another Demigod. He is currently trapped, and his fate is unknown.”

Shen Wubing’s eyes suddenly turned sharp and piercing as he stared at Shen Lang. ”A mere Triple-element Awakened One isn’t worth a Demigod like him taking personal action, is it? Did you instigate this again?”

Shen Wubing understood his son’s character all too well.

One could say, just by seeing his posture, he knew what kind of trouble he would stir up.

Fortunately, his usual discipline was relatively strict, otherwise, he would truly be lawless.

Without needing to think too much, just hearing the news was enough to judge it was his son’s doing.

Otherwise, why would Gao Yun, a Demigod, especially as the city lord of Godfall City, privately leave to capture a mere Triple-element Fusion user?

In the eyes of those at their level, not to mention triple-element, they had even seen a few quadruple-element users. Unless one reached five elements or even higher, an undeveloped triple-element user was, at most, worthy of relative attention.

From childhood to adulthood, Shen Lang feared no one except his father.

”Well...” Cold sweat was already beading on Shen Lang’s forehead. ”It was because of a temporary discovery during The Watchers’ Special Training Camp selection. You know my experiment has reached a critical stage and requires a large number of blood samples from multi-element Fusion Awakened Ones, so...”

”So that’s your reason for inciting Gao Yun to act? Do you understand the importance of Godfall City within Xia Country? Once The Watchers and the Xia Country officials find out Gao Yun is not holding his post, can you bear the consequences?”

”Bang!”

Furious, Shen Wubing slammed his palm, shattering the table beside him. The virtual image was affected, distorting continuously. ”This is sheer recklessness!”

”Acting without approval from headquarters, if The Watchers interpret this as an attempt to provoke a full-scale war, even I won’t be able to account for it.”

Shen Lang hung his head, not daring to argue.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Wubing forcefully suppressed his anger. ”Do you have a specific location?”

”Approximately four thousand kilometers northeast of Dawn City, near the territory of the Sky-Burning Sparrow King.”

”The straight-line distance to Uncle Yingren’s Bohai City is the closest, but it would still take nearly half an hour to get there at the fastest.”

Shen Wubing frowned and spoke coldly.

Shen Lang said urgently, ”Can it be any faster? By the time City Lord Gao Yun’s disciple relayed the message, Gao Yun’s aura had already been lost. I feel he might not hold on that long!”

”This is already the fastest speed. Even if I rushed over personally, it would take two hours.” A cold glint flashed in Shen Wubing’s eyes.

”You and Gao Yun will each bear half of all the consequences of this operation. If Gao Yun unfortunately dies, then treat this matter as if it never happened. You know nothing, understand?”

Then, he gave his son a meaningful look. ”His disciple doesn’t know about your plan, does he? If he does, you know what to do... For now, you temporarily take over Gao Yun’s position. I will make arrangements later.”
