Chapter 433: Settlement
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Word of the disastrous explosion at the Flor Reservoir soon shocked the entire world.
After all, a calamity of such a scale was rare in the entire history of Earth. After the calamity, development of the Golden Eagle Federation came to a halt.
In a moment, the international society grieved for the Golden Eagle Federation and even Chinese Country had approved of donating resources and monetary aid to the federation.
Of course, the deeper secret behind the disaster brought the federation to the attention of the other countries.
At least with the disappearance of the two society leaders, the power of the mutants in the Golden Eagle Federation was much weaker. Also, the secret of the Demon Weapon started to spread out.
After all, the usage of the atomic bomb meant that the federation could not hide anything from the other countries.
Needless to say, according to the latest investigations from the spies of the Golden Eagle Federation, who went into the epicentre of destruction without any protection and any worry of being affected, they had a shocking discovery. The Demon Weapon was not killed by the explosion.
This was a year of disaster for the Golden Eagle Federation.
However, most of it was not related to Fang Yuan.
After getting what he wanted, he brought along the two girls and discreetly arrived at the East Continent, investigating the secrets of the other nodes of spiritual energy.
With his 4th Tier abilities, he was the most powerful being in the entire world and therefore, their journey was extremely smooth. The rate at which he improved was as much as an entire generation. As soon as he absorbed the energy from another node, he discreetly returned to his own country.
Of course, to avoid trouble, he could no longer use his identity as Fang Yuan.
With his Soul Searching Spell, Fang Yuan could create a new identity for himself as an overseas Chinese after spending some time in a few other countries.
With his passport and his investments in properties, the customs would let him in without much hindrance.
With all these conveniences and a slight alteration in his appearance, even if he were to tour the capital, Xi Menjian would not even recognise him.
He had gone through all these troubles because he did not want to fight.
Therefore, Fang Yuan picked Banyan Tree City, a small city which a distance away from the capital and discreetly settled down.
In a Chinese courtyard house.
Grapevines crawled on a wooden rack, forming a natural shade. Grapes hung from the vines and anyone who would see these grapes would surely salivate.
Fang Yuan lazily laid in the shade. There were tea and dim sum on the table beside him. He held a fan in his hands and was extremely relaxed.
"Ahh... I cannot take this any longer!"
From the room, Lorita held her dress and ran out with a face of devastation. "That Angel is an idiot! Can you imagine that she still pees on the bed even at this age? How can you make me change her diapers for her? I object to this, for this is child labour!"
"Objection overruled!"
Fang Yuan casually ate a grape hanging from the vines and squinted his eyes, "Lorita, remember to address her as Sister. Both of you are my adopted daughters..."
"Why don't we settle down at Blue Star Alliance instead?"
Lorita appeared desperate. "I cannot stand everything here! This place is so underdeveloped and Angel is especially troublesome... I cannot stand her any longer, so quickly hire a nanny to take care of her!"
"Look at your personality. How will I be able to hire a nanny without any worries?"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes.
"Regardless, I cannot live with her. It is too uncomfortable to lose all my special abilities when I am with her..."
Lorita bit her lip.
"Hehe..."
Fang Yuan picked up his teapot and blew at it gently. "If that is so... Lorita, are you thinking of going against our agreement?"
"Going against the agreement?"
Tears welled up in Lorita's eyes as she wanted to claim that she was being duped to follow Fang Yuan.
However, thinking about how this 'demonic father' had held her and spanked her ass for being disobedient, there was fear in her eyes. Tears welled up and she was on the brink of crying. "You're bullying me!"
"Alright, don't you show me your attitude... Looking at you, even if we migrate to the Blue Star Alliance, we would still encounter troubles. Do you really want to sacrifice our peaceful and comfortable lifestyle now?"
Fang Yuan calmly replied.
Lorita was speechless.
According to her news, Amun from the White Pigeon Society had escaped to the Northernmost Point of the North Pole on an icy island but was still being located by the spies of the Federation. After a long fight, he was captured and his outcome was unimaginable.
If not for the fact that this place was Chinese Country and that she was protected by the mysterious 'Lei', Lorita would surely end up like Amun.
"But... I..."
Lorita's tears started to flow. If an outsider were to see this scene, they would think that Fang Yuan had bullied this little girl.
However, Fang Yuan knew that although Lorita appeared young, she only seemed so and her actual age was already many times more than she appeared to be.
On the other hand, Angel was truly only 3 years old.
"Alright, Angel is also pitiful... Also, after my treatment, she has the potential to recover completely..."
Fang Yuan entered the house.
In a wooden cot, Angel laid in the centre and smiled happily. "Hug..."
"See, at least she recognises me now!"
Fang Yuan pinched Angel's cheeks, took out his needle and performed treatment for her daily.
Needless to say, the treatment which this little girl had received was one that many Chinese would dream of.
After Fang Yuan's mysterious disappearance, his mysterious magical needle technique was lost and only Old Tian could use it to half of its full potential.
Many rich and wealthy people with ailing health were searching for Fang Yuan and even did unthinkable things.
Lorita stood there and observed Fang Yuan. Her eyeballs darted around and no one knew what she was thinking.
...
After the daily treatment, Angel would fall asleep.
Lorita would get a moment of peace and would use the time wisely and do her own things.
Fang Yuan came to an isolated room, sighed and opened a safe.
The safe was hidden in the wall and was cemented to the sides of the wall. It appeared extremely sturdy. As soon as Fang Yuan entered the passcode, the door opened with a soft 'Kacha', revealing the treasures inside.
There were gems, gold, foreign currency. Fang Yuan took out a big box and opened it. There were two Aquilaria figurines carved with extreme detail.
"The Aquilaria Maitreya and the Three Headed Six Arms Asura..."
Fang Yuan sighed before releasing a streak of spiritual energy.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Both figurines started to emit a purple glow which combined to release a faint energy.
"Although I have brought both keys together, they can only combine at the correct timing..."
Fang Yuan fiddled with the figurines and was a little disappointed.
According to his prediction, the Aquilaria Maitreya and the Asura would combine to create a key which would be able to open space. It would be likely to open up space leading to a place similar to that of the mermaid tomb plane.
Whatever which would lie in the small plane would be likely to be the inheritances of the supernormal beings from Chinese Country. They might even be stronger than the mermaids and would be considered gods of the ancient time!
Unfortunately, even if he had the key, he could only helplessly get information of the time and the location.
"This secret plane in Banyan City will only be activated after the third occurrence... I need to enter at the correct location, correct time with the correct keys. This is unfortunate..."
According to his prediction, the higher being who had set this secret plane in place had to be more powerful than the mermaids and once harnessed power even more powerful than the power of an arena. As long as the higher being wanted to conceal the plane, it would be able to do so with ease and would only allow the plane to appear when the time is up.
"This is also related to the concentration of spiritual droplets... Must I wait for enough spiritual droplets to be around before I can open a certain door?"
Fang Yuan appeared solemn.
Through his travels around the world, he had collected a lot of information and data.
For instance, the religions in Blue Star Alliance were an interesting influence.
At least, their 'God' had once existed. Even though all the faith that remained now was already diluted, after the third occurrence, the 'God' might develop a consciousness and attain the 4th Tier immediately, becoming a being capable of destruction!
The immortals in other parts of the world were similar to this.
"Other than Elder Extreme Darkness and I, who would not be bounded by the laws of this realm, the natives in the realm would be restricted... Before the arrival of the third occurrence, they would have zero chance of breaking through."
Fang Yuan had a premonition.
The arrival of the third occurrence would throw the entire world into chaos.
"However... that is still nothing. Considering my current cultivation, I have already become more powerful than all of them and will forever be the most powerful in the world….."
Fang Yuan smiled and looked at his own stats"
"Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 17.0
Spirit: 45.0
Magic: 45.0
Profession: ???
Cultivation: ???
Technique: [Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell (Grade 5 (33%))]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]"
After entering the 5th Grade, even after absorbing an entire node, Fang Yuan could only push his cultivation up by a third.
"Even if I were to put in all my effort in cultivation, I would only reach the bottleneck at the peak of the 5th Grade. I can only attempt a breakthrough with the help of the third occurrence..."
This was Fang Yuan's plan. It was simple but he would forever be ahead of the rest and would have the ability to suppress everyone.
"Furthermore... I am more and more interested in this world."
Fang Yuan rubbed his chin and revealed a mysterious smile.
In a world with harsh laws of physics and spikes in spiritual energy after a thousand years, it was indeed mysterious.
Perhaps, he could find the answer to all these happenings from the inheritances of powerful beings in the ancient times.
Even if he could not find the explanation to the happenings in this world, it still had a lot of value in experimentation.
"Of course, other than that, there is just one small problem..."
A Chinese bringing two western daughters would surely attract attention.
Fang Yuan could detect that he was already being observed and being scanned through by a supernormal force. However, it was still the same. All of these did not matter to him.
