Chapter 570 Catching up to Sequence 9 in one day is not a dream
"How credible do you think their words are?" The agreement was reached so haphazardly, but Fu Xiaojian's worries did not diminish at all.
"About outsiders?"
"At least seven points. Leave the remaining three points to fate."
Fu Xiaojian paused for a moment, then asked, "So, how should we prepare?"
"We can't prepare. Sequence nine and sequence eight are worlds apart. Those below sequence nine are just easy prey in front of those so-called divine envoys. As for sequence nine, it's not something you can achieve so easily..."
Xu Si's words are a bit like Versailles.
Xu Si had no benchmark against other level nine beings, nor did he know where his strength ranked among them, so he dared not make any promises when facing those guys.
If he cannot win the battle, Earth will become a marginal small world that can be taken and plundered at will.
"Hmph... I'm not far from Sequence Eight either! Don't think you're so great!"
A sound came from the branches below and to the side; it was Jiao Jiao leaping up, stepping on the layers of branches.
"I saw that commotion from far away. You actually managed to reach a truce with those three weirdos?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise? We should at least cut off that red dragon's head and hang it at the city gate as a sign!" Jiao Jiao said confidently, but the next second Su Su grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back.
"Jiao Jiao." Su Su's voice was filled with helplessness.
"I was just saying!" Jiao Jiao shook off Su Su's hand and straightened her collar, which had been pulled rumpled.
Ever since Jiao Jiao was resurrected by Xu Si, Su Su has been inseparable from her, fearing that she might encounter some misfortune again.
"I'm afraid they might launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside!" Fu Xiaojian expressed his concern, though he was actually somewhat relieved that the official survival base hadn't been exposed.
If everything is exposed, then it will be truly irreversible.
"Cooperation requires equal strength, and I don't think they have that prerequisite," Xu Si said.
The most pressing matter now is strength; Xu Si is no longer satisfied with merely repairing the damage to his laws.
He wants to reach the pinnacle of the sequence; he wants to explore the limits of his sequence.
The situation has stabilized for the time being, but Xu Si knows in his heart that this is only the calm before the storm.
Jiao Jiao was pulled back two steps by the back of her collar by Su Su, but she still looked up at Xu Si with a defiant expression: "So what are you planning to do next?"
She was getting anxious because she couldn't see Xu Si.
"I can't stay here for long. I need to continue to seek opportunities for improvement in other small worlds." He didn't mention his injuries to his laws.
"Leaving again?" Jiao Jiao's voice rose a octave, then she realized she had overreacted, coughed, and turned her head to add another sentence.
"I mean... you just got back."
Su Su looked at her without saying anything, but the corners of her lips curved slightly.
Fu Xiaojian spoke up at the opportune moment: "How long?"
"It's hard to say. It could be two or three days if things go quickly, or it could take longer if things go slowly." Xu Si paused.
He still had some things to take care of before he left.
"There are also some things that, although not very useful, still need to be prepared for in advance!"
"Speak!" Fu Xiaojian sat up straight.
"First, I will communicate with her about the expansion speed of Yi Yi, and keep it within 100 kilometers per month, so as not to provoke those guys in the Gray Land as much as possible."
"Secondly, the city's defenses cannot be relaxed. Even if a truce is reached, it cannot guarantee that all the supernatural beings will follow the rules. Patrols and vigilance on the Tashan side must be strengthened."
"Third, and most importantly..."
"Let's start preparing to build the underground base! We also need to continue stockpiling supplies!"
Despise the government, understand the government, and become the government.
"I understand!" Fu Xiaojian nodded solemnly, feeling completely lost about the future situation.
Xu Si's biggest worry was actually the World Tree. The car team could get back on the road, but Yi Yi couldn't.
If the so-called divine messengers were to descend, their primary target would undoubtedly be the World Tree.
He would have made the same choice.
"I'm fine. As long as Earth exists, my roots won't be completely destroyed. No matter how long it takes, I'll recover sooner or later!" Sensing Xu Si's concern, she comforted him one by one.
Yi Yi has now essentially become the consciousness of Earth, and unless a god intervenes, no one can eliminate her.
Even with its boundless power, Sequence Nine could not completely destroy a world.
"Also, you should probably make an official announcement to them!"
"I'm sure they're also having a lot of headaches. They're always being led by the nose, and they don't even know who the real authorities are!" Fu Xiaojian said helplessly.
Xu Si was also a little embarrassed. He had just come to their door to threaten them, and those old guys might be discussing opening those survival bases right now, and now they were sending this kind of news.
Such repetitive behavior is really infuriating.
Especially since Xu Si personally went to their door to warn them and even gave them a good scolding, now that the plot has reversed, Xu Si has no face to face them anymore.
"...Okay." Fu Xiaojian replied.
"Also, if I leave, Nirvana is yours!" Xu Si originally intended to leave Jian Shiyi behind.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it; the benefits left by Nirvana were greater.
Even now, Xu Si can't guarantee a win against Nirvana. But once Nirvana advances further, Xu Si feels that at least defending the City of Fire will be no problem.
Even if things don't go perfectly, it will buy him time to get back.
After all, there are countless ruined cities on Earth, and he is currently ranked 006.
Xu Si also wanted to know if there would be any surprises when it could go no further.
Nirvana seemed to understand Xu Si's thoughts, and directly separated a small sword the size of a dough ball, which flew into Fu Xiaojian's palm.
After saying goodbye to Xu Si, he went off on his own to find his "prey".
"Alright, Nirvana, I've been eyeing it for a long time too." Fu Xiaojian replied, stuffing the waxy white dough into his pocket.
"I'll go and inform them. You can go on your way without worry."
Xu Si glanced at him: "Old Fu."
"Um?"
"You should also start thinking about your own path."
Fu Xiaojian was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "What, afraid I'll hold you back?"
"I'm afraid you'll die too young."
"...Your words are really unpleasant to hear," Fu Xiaojian cursed, but the smile in his eyes was genuine.
I know my own sequence.
Since awakening his combat abilities, his progression has been rapid, especially as the number of residents in the City of Fire has increased dramatically.
But in the end, he still couldn't compare to Xu Si, that freak.
He knew this was the limit of his progress, even faster than when he took the potion.
However, fewer and fewer other caravans were migrating in, and his entry into the country was hindered.
If a thousand people can enter the City of Fire today, he can break through to Sequence 6 tomorrow.
If the City of Fire can reach 10,000 people, he might be able to break through to the high-ranking sequence the day after tomorrow.
If he can shelter 50,000 people, catching up to Sequence Nine in one day is not a dream.
But can this be forced?
Even if they were to be born one by one, it would still take decades!
