Tempest of the Stellar War
chapter-1301

The young prince smiled. “Actually, the Atlanteans have reached the end.”

Hao Lin’s opening shocked Wang Zheng. However, his ears were still pricked.

“We at Atlantis pursue the ultimate development of the spirit. We believe that it is the ultimate destination to eventually merge into one with the universe, to become a nation of gods, but…” Hao Lin laughed bitterly. “This is just us sitting under the well. It’s the curse of intelligence to become arrogant.”

Wang Zheng frowned slightly. “I don’t know if that road is feasible, but the unique thing about intelligence is in the match between the human body and its spirit. One could not do without the other.”

“Excessive pursuit of mechanical and genetic transformation would be taking the path of the flesh and pursuing the spiritual limitations respectively. They are both routes with no U-turn. The Atlanteans have been stagnant for the past few centuries. However, I think you should understand that our mistake is to believe that the human body is a burden, a limitation, when in fact, understanding the inner universe of the body is the actual pathway to becoming God.”

There was a hint of fanaticism in Hao Lin’s eyes. The Atlanteans were usually composed, but this question had plagued Atlantis for hundreds of years.

Wang Zheng nodded. He felt that his body could match with the universe ever since he had grasped the inner universe. He was not strong enough yet, but there were unlimited possibilities.

“I don’t have a very good understanding of the inner universe either… I think the Atlantis Empire should have a better understanding?” Wang Zheng understood himself, and Lin Feng shared the same sentiments that between Atlantis and Aslan, it seemed like Aslan was the one with the right understanding.

Hao Lin swayed his head from side to side gently. “The Atlanteans have gone too far. Our route of evolution is different from that of humans. Humans achieve things that we cannot.”

Wang Zheng was astounded. He might be confident, but… he couldn’t do this. Hao Lin’s sincere gaze made him a little uncomfortable now.

“Erm, to be honest, I’m at a loss, I don’t know what I can help with, but if there is something I can do, I’ll give it my best. We might have been rivals at IG and SIG, but I’ve always had a special affinity with Atlantis.”

Smack~

Hao Lin clapped his hands violently. “I was waiting for you to say that. Big Brother Wang Zheng, I’m not asking for your help right now. I hope you can remember your promise today when you are able to one day!”

Wang Zheng was speechless. He had said it out of courtesy, but Hao Lin was even addressing him as “Big Brother” now. It seemed too late to regret or to push it away.

Hao Lin was adult-like at times and childish at times… Actually, he was just like a kid – he seemed to have forgotten whatever had happened just now.

“Big Brother Wang Zheng, I actually wanted to study at Elite Academy X, but there are various constraints that prevent me from doing so. I’m planning to stay here for a few days, can you bring me around? I promise I won’t be any trouble to you,” Hao Lin requested as he raised his hand.

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was helpless against this interesting young prince. However, he did like the Atlanteans. They might have battled a few times, but the more they battled, the more interesting he found them to be.

He felt as though Hao Lin didn’t finish what he wanted to say; however, who didn’t have secrets?

“Alright, but just call me ‘Wang Zheng.’”

Others would misunderstand if the prince of Atlantis were to call him “Big Brother.”

“I call Aina ‘Big Sister,’ of course you are ‘Big Brother Wang Zheng.’ Is that wrong?” Hao Lin asked strangely.

Wang Zheng was defeated. The Atlanteans seemed to be more eloquent than he imagined.

The Prince of Atlantis followed closely behind Wang Zheng. Everyone was speechless about Wang Zheng’s magical ability to attract such a following. This was the prince of Atlantis. Luckily, everyone got used to it fast enough.

They were generally holed up at Butcher’s. The study of the Abyss was of great interest to Wang Zheng. In fact, he was considering whether to enter the mysterious Abyss. What exactly were the Zerg planning?

Was the Abyssal really an opportunity for mankind?

He met with Ai Xiaolu and gang in the afternoon. The KO Group had some new developments and cooperations that needed his attention. It was impossible for him to be totally hands-off with the business. There were many things that he needed to do personally. The SIG was over and things had piled up.

Ai Xiaolu seemed to be persuading Luo Er on something when Wang Zheng arrived. Her eyes were red.

“What’s wrong?” Wang Zheng took a seat. Hao Lin didn’t stand on the ceremony either.

“Forget it. She met an unreliable guy,” Ai Xiaolu said with angst.

“Who dared to bully you, Luo Er!? I’ll teach him a lesson!” Wang Zheng said.

“Nothing, don’t listen to Xiaolu, it was just a misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding? You’re too nice. I would have given him a few tight slaps. Is he still a man!?” Ai Xiaolu related everything angrily. A guy from the Gemini Star had been chasing Luo Er for some time. However, he had now turned around to snub Luo Er now that he knew Ryan was useless since he wouldn’t be able to become the next President.

“What do you say? Don’t you think this guy deserves a lesson?! Men are trash!”

“Ahem, ahem, Xiaolu, don’t just assume all men are the same. I think this is good. At least you got to see the true face of this guy. Don’t be upset because of such a person. It’s not worth it,” Wang Zheng said. He had seen too much of this with Yan Xiaosu. They had risen from the bottom. It was normal for them to be snubbed. The Aslan royal family still refused to grant him an audience, but what gives? People didn’t live by the standards of others.

“Wang Zheng’s right!” Luo Er said, clenching her fist tightly. She didn’t care whether or not Ryan could continue to be the President. She just didn’t expect something like this to happen. This was the correct attitude.

“You are going to Tita in a couple of days. Sign all the necessary documents first. It’s good that you are going at this time. The development and route of Tita Star have just been launched, so you can give it a boost. I’ve put the house in. If it works, you have to feed me for the rest of my life!” Ai Xiaolu said unceremoniously.

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. How could he afford her? He was joking around with Ai Xiaolu, but he could see that Luo Er still had some misgivings in her heart.

Everywhere was sweet nothings when Ryan was at his position. She had noticed it, but she was still very careful. There was already an effect. Many people used to hit her up, but she had been very free recently. However, it was a blow to Luo Er.

She understood the reason behind it, but she needed some time to adjust. However, now Luo Er knew who her real friends were. The one with the most influence now was not Gemini Star now that Ryan wasn’t on his position. The Milky Way Alliance was not a country. Anyone in power would have no more influence once they were no longer on the position. However, Ai Xiaolu and Wang Zheng still treated her the same. Ai Xiaolu had accompanied her for the past few days.
