The Master of the Heavenly Net, that is Xu Fu, mentioned only a snippet of his own past and was particularly secretive about how he betrayed the Immortal Sect, as if he didn’t want Li Chen to know.
Li Chen could understand this.
Although he was extremely curious about Xu Fu and Caesar, these two ancient beings who had lived for two thousand years, he did not have the habit of prying into other people’s privacy.
Moreover, his current relationship with Xu Fu was merely a temporary alliance—both friend and foe, incredibly delicate.
Therefore, when it came to Xu Fu’s words, Li Chen had to deliberate carefully before choosing what to believe selectively. He couldn’t just take everything at face value.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died when the time comes.
After a brief conversation, Xu Fu, with grave sincerity, said to Li Chen, "Li Chen, the Immortal Sect is about to open, and it’s not advisable to engage in a large-scale battle. Do me a favor, let’s put this matter aside for now, shall we?"
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "I have already killed the Dark Duke, one of the big shots of the Dark World. Having suffered such a loss, they won’t let it go so easily, will they?"
Xu Fu saw Li Chen’s concern, waved his hand, and said, "You needn’t worry about that. It’s been three hundred years since I last visited an old friend. There had always been no good reason, but now, this is an excellent opportunity to meet him!"
Li Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Caesar is also an extremely arrogant person, right? And after three hundred years without contact, are you so sure he will listen to you?"
Xu Fu brushed his sleeves and spoke mysteriously, "You’re right, but he is clear about the current situation, like watching a blazing fire. He would never rashly wage war against us at this moment and risk mutual destruction!"
Li Chen paused briefly then said, "The current situation? Are you talking about the opening of the Immortal Sect?"
Xu Fu nodded and said, "Yes, but that’s just one aspect. In today’s world, besides our Heavenly Net and Caesar’s Dark World, there is another force that cannot be ignored. Do you know what it is?"
Without hesitating, Li Chen blurted out, "The United States?"
Xu Fu first nodded and then shook his head.
Li Chen, seeing his nod and shake, was confused.
Xu Fu stared into the sky and said faintly, "It’s the Ancient Maya behind the United States!"
Li Chen looked shocked, "The Ancient Maya?"
Xu Fu nodded and affirmed, "Yes, the Ancient Maya!"
After saying that, he turned to Li Chen, very seriously asking, "Do you remember, in the 36th year of Emperor Shi, the meteorite in East County?"
Li Chen thought for a while; he remembered a phrase recorded by Sima Qian in the "Historical Records of Emperor Shi": In the 36th year of Emperor Shi, a star fell in East County and turned to stone upon reaching the ground.
"Yes, what about the meteorite in East County?"
Xu Fu’s expression turned serious as he said, "That wasn’t a meteorite, but a spaceship from an extraterrestrial civilization. At that time, Earth was abundant in Spiritual Power, and the Immortal Sect had not yet closed. Whether in the East or the West, the Human Clan’s Great Powers emerged one after another."
"As a result, although the Mayans had very advanced technology, they were vastly outnumbered and defeated by the Human Clan’s Great Powers and were almost eradicated."
"However, the Overseas Immortal Sect also paid a heavy price. In order to recuperate, the Great Powers from the Top Ten Super Immortal Sects joined forces to set up a barrier, sealing off the path to the Immortal Sect. It would only open at fixed intervals, admitting elite disciples from the Human World to replenish their Sects with fresh blood!"
"The Ancient Maya, however, were not entirely exterminated but managed to escape to the primordial forests of America, where they established a base and contacted their Mother Star. Additionally, they attempted to support the Indians to dominate the globe. Regrettably, they did not succeed."
"Yet, even though their grand plan failed, some high-intelligence Indians used the Ancient Maya’s rudimentary technology to defeat Great Britain, the empire on which the sun never set and the then-dominant global power, thereby establishing the United States."
"Subsequently, with their technological edge, they rose rapidly within a mere century, surpassing the European powers and becoming the rulers of the world."
Xu Fu’s amount of information was so immense that even Li Chen found it difficult to digest at the moment.
After organizing his thoughts, Li Chen suddenly thought of something and urgently asked, "Their Mother Star, wouldn’t it be from the Crab Nebula in Taurus?"
This time, it was Xu Fu who was taken aback.
"How did you know these things?"
Li Chen replied offhandedly, "I guessed!"
Xu Fu was astonished again, "Uh, guessed?"
Li Chen nodded, "Yes, guessed!"
Seeing that Li Chen would not elaborate, Xu Fu did not press further, his expression half-smiling.
"Hehe, you’re quite an interesting person, much more so than your father. However, you don’t need to be overly concerned about the Ancient Maya."
"From the situation at hand, they will need at least 150 years before they can arrive on Earth. Right now, what you need to do is to prepare for the opening of the Immortal Sect on the seventh day of the seventh month next year."
If the history of his previous life was correct, it should be 163 years later when the Mayan Star people from Taurus land on Earth.
But he did not discuss this with Xu Fu, nor was it necessary. After all, whether it’s 150 years or 163 years, for them now, it is a very distant matter.
"Okay, I understand. As for the Dark World, I’ll still have to trouble you to take a trip!"
Seeing that his words were not wasted, Xu Fu nodded contentedly.
"Alright, leave it to me!"
As his words fell, the surrounding void was torn open, and the ethereal world with lingering white smoke turned into nothingness, dissipating with the wind.
Li Chen’s consciousness also returned to reality.
He stood where he was, lost in thought for a moment, carefully reviewing the conversation with Xu Fu.
Although he hadn’t solved any practical problems this time, the gain was substantial. At least the several doubts in his heart had been mostly clarified.
The problem that troubled Grandfather Li Jinliang for twenty years has also been solved.
Because what Xu Fu did, a significant part, was to counter the Mayan Mother Star from Taurus.
That’s why his father thought he was the last Defender on Earth, strongly advising Li Jinliang to cease all military actions against the Heavenly Net.
As for why his parents no longer wanted to work for Xu Fu, it was likely due to their personality, disliking his nearly inhuman brutal plundering.
As Li Chen fell into contemplation, a chaotic noise suddenly came from outside.
He looked up and saw the Royal Guards of Great Britain! This content belongs to novel⸺fire.net
