When Ren Baqian came back again, he was wearing big pants, a T-shirt, and sunglasses. Zong Shang couldn’t help but take a few more glances at his weird outfit.

In addition, Ren Baqian was holding two boxes in his hands.

Opening the box in his right hand, it contained the same metal box as the other box from back then.

However, this time it wasn’t 400 kilotons, but ten kilotons. It was still quite powerful. As the detonation would take place underground, the gases produced by the explosion wouldn’t be diffused quickly enough. A large number of the various particles, photons would be reduced. The sound waves produced by the incidental tearing of the air would be reduced as well. The village would still be impacted, but there shouldn’t be too many casualties.

“All the sub-temple chiefs will be back today, right? You can get those who don’t need to die to stay outside,” Ren Baqian said.

Zong Shang gave a bitter smile. Out of more than 40 people, at least half of them weren’t supposed to die. If he got these people to stay outside, the people inside would be suspicious.

He pondered for a while and felt that it wouldn’t matter even if they got suspicious. Even if a few of them came out, the plan would still work as long as the chief of the Temple of Heaven stayed inside.

Once she was dead, the rest of the people would be easy to handle.

“Alright!” Zong Shang nodded earnestly.

“We shall do it this way then. Send me a signal. After that, you guys better run fast.” Ren Baqian clapped, looking relaxed.

It was indeed relaxing to simply press the detonation button.

“Mister Ren, you must also come with me. Otherwise, they will definitely be suspicious. In the end, all the sub-temple chiefs are coming back for you this time.” Zong Shang smiled.

Ren Baqian’s expression froze a little. If he went with Zong Shang, he had to at least be at the entrance of the hall. At this distance, it would already be a little dangerous for him.

After all, he would be directly affected by the nuclear warhead. Its power was only just a rough gauge.

If something went wrong…

“How far can you run in ten seconds?” Ren Baqian suddenly asked.

“1 kilometer!”

1 kilometer was sufficient.

“Good! Take me and run then,” Ren Baqian replied.

The two simply decided on the matter like this.

Later, Zong Shang hesitated a little and pleaded, “Xu Wuming used to work for the Temple of Heaven. Can you let him off, Mister Ren? Wen Xiaosheng and the others as well. They will leave the Temple of Heaven and never show their faces again.”

Ren Baqian looked at him. He had previously brought up this suggestion before. Even though the situation had changed now, it still wasn’t a good idea for Ren Baqian to change his mind.

“Forget it. I’ll give them this chance. Don’t let anyone hear of their names or see them again. If I hear about them in the future, don’t blame me for being vicious.”

“Thank you, Mister Ren.” Zong Shang cupped his fists.

When the two then returned to the room, the sky was still dark.

All of a sudden, Zong Shang said, “Take a break, Mister Ren. I’ll look for the temple chief in the morning. The meeting will only take place in the evening.”

After he left, Ren Baqian took out a radio station from the other box. He adjusted its frequency and managed to contact the empress after a while.

“When are you coming back? Otherwise, I’ll bring you back!” Although her voice sounded cold, he was able to tell her concern.

He laughed after hearing what she said.

“The shortest would be two to three days and the longest four to five days. Everything’s going well here, so I’ll definitely be back soon.”

The empress quietly noted down this duration. She would hang Ren Baqian up and beat him for four to six hours if he came back in two to three days. If he came back in four to five days, she would hang him for eight to ten hours. If he came back later than that, he would be hung up and beaten for twice as long and would be given two extra hours for every additional day.

“Is it convenient to speak now?”

“I guess so.”

“Where are you?”

“A coastal area in Great Xia. I’m unsure of the exact location.”

“Were they the ones who killed Wu Kai?”

Ren Baqian stayed quiet for a while before replying, “Yes!”

The empress didn’t ask him what he promised them. All of that could wait until after he was back.

Anything she said now would only cause an unnecessary change in the situation on his side.

At this time, although she didn’t intend to forgive the murderer, she didn’t want to cause any trouble for Ren Baqian by making things difficult for him or even leading him to danger.

“I have already deployed troops at the border, and they can head north at any time. Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty!” He smiled brilliantly.

He then chatted casually with the empress for a while before switching off the radio.

…

The next morning, Zong Shang went to the Temple of Heaven and carried a metal box in his hand when he returned at noon.

Ren Baqian opened it to see, and the nuclear bomb was indeed inside the box.

At present, everything was ready and waiting for the crucial moment.

“She has gotten a little suspicious,” Zong Shang said.

“Will it affect anything?” Ren Baqian turned to look at him.

“It shouldn’t. She won’t leave the temple that easily.” Zong Shang shook his head.

“It won’t matter then.”

“Just take this inside in the evening.” Ren Baqian handed the other box to him.

Zong Shang nodded.

It was all finally going to be over.

Thousands of years of enduring was finally coming to an end.

The two sat facing each other for a while, and Zong Shang couldn’t help but ask, “Over in your nation, are the people doing well?”

“There are no worries about basic necessities!” Ren Baqian replied faintly.

He continued, “Advanced productivity brought us a lot of goods and supplies. Here, it’s already considered a good effort for a person to cultivate ten mu of land in a year. Including livestock, this wouldn’t exceed 20 mu of land.

Over in our place, just one person and a machine can cultivate 300 mu of land.

This is without mentioning the output. You would only be able to produce about 100 to 150 kilograms of rations per mu of land. We are able to produce 500 kilograms of rations in one mu of land, and some high-yielding crops can even produce about 2,000 to 2,500 kilograms.

We only need one percent of your labor to feed the same population or an even higher population.”

Zong Shang sat there for a long time before replying, “That’s really fascinating!”

“There’s no need to be fascinated. You’ll be able to see it!” Ren Baqian laughed.

Seeing Zong Shang’s sudden look of surprise, Ren Baqian added, “You don’t even need to come over to my world. You’ll be able to see it in Dayao after a few years.”

“That’s not bad. If this really happens, you’ll be able to get drunk for an entire month and rejoice in peace.” Zong Shang thought about it and laughed.

Although it was just a simple question, Ren Baqian felt much better about Zong Shang after that.

As a Spirit Wheel expert and a high-level authority in the Temple of Heaven, his first question was actually about the living conditions of the commoners over in Ren Baqian’s land!

The two chatted. It was mostly Zong Shang who did the asking with Ren Baqian answering the questions. Zong Shang was very interested in the world that Ren Baqian talked about. Through Ren Baqian’s depiction, Zong Shang began to imagine a world were the people had an abundance of food, wore beautiful clothes, sat on self propelled machinery, ran freely on the land, dived deep into the ocean, or even soared high up in the sky.

Countless passionate men sailing on their own boats, breaking the waves, and searching for the legendary ONEPIECE.[1.ONEPIECE – A famous Japanese manga]

There would be new news reports posted daily in the League of Legends about some hero discovering another new island, another sailing route, another new crop, or even capturing the heart of some beautiful lady from a foreign race…

When the time was almost ripe, Zong Shang had to curb his curiosity and went to deliver the box to the Temple of Heaven. After that, he would come back and take Ren Baqian there.

The things that the two chatted about made him look forward to the future.

Perhaps he could witness all of this for himself one day!

After Zong Shang left, Ren Baqian spread his arms.

Why was this man so interested in the League of Legends and ONEPIECE?

If the conversation were to continue, Ren Baqian would have to stage a story about the League of Legends battling the warlords of the seven seas…

He got up, smoothed the creases in his clothes, put his sunglasses back on his face, pushed the window open, and saw an extremely beautiful courtyard.

After admiring it for a while, Zong Shang appeared in the courtyard.

“Mister Ren, the item has been delivered,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Let’s go and send them to hell,” Ren Baqian replied while looking relaxed.
