Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Naturally, it was Han Te.

Speaking of which, he was the one who felt the greatest difference in Li Yao’s team.

It was not because there was anything wrong with his performance during his adventures in the sea of stars. In fact, after only several years, he had grasped the essence of Boss Bai’s fire control and become one of the

best fire control officers in the coalition fleet of the arsonists. He had also won the favor of thousands of charming sisters. Han Te’s experience was enough to write a soul-stirring, soul-stirring novel.

Unfortunately, comparisons were odious.

Even if he was not compared to the monster-like ‘Old Yao’, compared to his biggest competitor Li Jialing, well, the gap between the two was still too big.

When they first met, Han Te was a young man from the badlands, and Li Jialing was an experiment subject on ‘Red Spider Lilies’, a city in the sky. The gap between the two of them was still visible to the naked eye. They

seemed to be able to overtake each other if they gritted their teeth and had one or two fortuitous incidents.

As for fortuitous incidents, Han Te was quite confident in himself. What a joke. Even the legendary ‘Old Yao’ had been dug out by him. Shouldn’t he have received countless fortuitous incidents and reached the peak of

his life easily, becoming the biggest winner of the Pangu Universe?

Who would have thought that it was not him who had the fortuitous encounter, but Li Jialing? Or rather, the moment he met Li Jialing, all his luck had been stolen by the kid. The wretched Li Jialing suddenly turned

into ‘Wu Yingling’ and became the emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings!

This, this, this, this, this, this, this time, the gap between Han Te and his opponent was even larger than the gap between a whip and a python. How could this young man from the Wasteland, whose head was filled with

lofty aspirations, endure this!?

Even if he became one of the top three super fire control officers in the entire Pangu Universe, he would still be far from the ‘Emperor’.

He had been suppressing his anger in the sea of stars. Now that he was back to his hometown, he could finally enjoy himself and play the role of a savior in front of his hometown.

Han thought delightedly.

But he found the atmosphere a bit weird.

Yes. The villagers and the bandits of the Blood Plateau were all silent, as if they were caught in great shock and fear.

But the shock and fear did not seem to be triggered by himself. Everybody was staring at the sky beyond his head.

Earsplitting noises echoed in the sky again, as if an iron mountain was crashing down.

“It can’t be! Lord Fist King, didn’t you say that you would let me show off for five minutes before you descended from the sky? How can you do this!?”

At first, Han Te was dumbfounded. Then, he waved his fists toward the sky in grief and indignation.

In the sky, surrounded by the assault starships, a square iron giant rushed close, wreathed in redness.

At first glance, it looked like an upgraded version of the ‘Great Iron City’ that had suppressed the entire Blood Plateau. It was almost a hundred meters high, surrounded by countless tracks, embedded with countless

rivets, and supported by countless black, red, and ferocious cannons. The air currents were surging, and electric arcs were dancing. The ball lightning was surging crazily.

Although they were still more than a thousand meters in the sky, the pressure from the crystal suit had almost frozen the air within a hundred square kilometers. Everybody’s hair was standing up, their eyes were dry,

their fingers were numb, and their fingernails were cracking.

BOOM!

The upgraded version of the Grand Iron City fell to the ground heavily, raising a blast hundreds of meters high. The dust immediately drowned Han Te and the other bandits. It was a hundred times more intimidating

than when Han Te landed just now.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

After a series of earsplitting mechanical noises, the upgraded version of Iron City stood up like a gargantuan steel beast. Every cannon was emitting scorching brightness and glaring at the bandits nearby like countless

crimson eyes.

It was the new body of the Fist King, version 2.0 of the Grand Iron City.

At his level, with the help of the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Sanctuary Alliance, which provided the most cutting-edge smelting facilities and magical equipment design workshops, it was

unnecessary to build such a crude and enormous shell.

However, considering that ‘Fist King Lei Zonglie’, the notorious bandit king in the past, was very beneficial for the operation to suppress the rioters and restore order, he showed up in the evil land with such an

awe-inspiring appearance.

“There’s someone else. Do you remember who I am?”

Thunderous noises echoed deep inside the factory, as if a flood had broken through the dam and gathered into a dirty tide that crushed the eardrums and hearts of all the bandits.

As expected—

Even if all the bandits were overwhelmed by hunger and ferocity, they would not forget the toughness and brutality of ‘Fist King Lei Zonglie’.

The scene where the boxing champion drove the Grand Iron City to the Red Spider Lilies in the City in the Sky was like a soldering iron that was thousands of degrees high. It was deeply etched into the brains of the

bandits and became an unforgettable memory.

“It’s—it’s the boxing champion!”

“It’s the boxing champion! He—he’s not dead yet. He’s back!”

“The boxing champion is back. The boxing champion is back with a lot of starships. Where—where did he come from?”

“How is it possible? Years ago, he was an enemy of the ‘Deva’. He even blew up the City in the Sky and pissed off the Devas, which led to the ‘second Armageddon’. How did he come back? He actually came back! Did he

kill all the Devas?”

“He—he—he—his aura is ten times stronger than before. He has the strength of a devil. I’m afraid that he can even punch a crystal suit one by one. Nobody can stop him. Fist King! Fist King!”

For a moment, all the bandits had their strength drained from their veins and bones by the overwhelming aura of the Fist King. Somebody took the lead and all of them fell to their knees and bowed to the Fist King.

With the strength to annihilate them effortlessly and the food that they brought, who would dare to resist such a champion?

In a moment, the same name was being chanted in the dozens of square kilometers around the city.

“Punching King!”

“Punching King!”

“Punching King!”

There were only a few discordant noises.

“I… Are you kidding me? That’s not the plan… I haven’t shown my face yet, and I’ve prepared a speech of my glamorous return… I’m the star of this operation, okay? How did I become the champion of boxing for no

reason? Hey hey hey, can anyone hear me? Dear hometown elder? I’m Han Te. I’m the Cannon King of the Star Ocean. I… I…”

Han Te stared at the boxing champion helplessly.

Above the Iron City, on what seemed to be the shoulder of the boxing champion, the cover was opened, and a young girl with bright eyes crawled out.

“Dad!”

Liu Li held the Fist King’s shoulder. Tears were already flowing out. She waved her hands hard in the direction of the city. “Dad, we are back. We came back with hope!”

Half a day later, attracted by the aura of the boxing champion and the food, order was restored to the fifty square kilometers around the city.

Countless tents were lined up. A large batch of battle puppets were shuttling back and forth among the tents under the control of the Fist King, watching over the bandits who had just calmed down.

The camp was both a ‘refugee camp’ and a ‘prisoners’ camp’, just like the identities of the bandits.

Everyone, including Han Te, Liu Li, and the Fist King, had different opinions on how to clean up the mess in the world of martial arts and the paradise of devils.

The simplest way was to kill all the bandits. As long as their hands were stained with blood, there would be no survivors. Of course, it was very easy.

However, most of the bandits were not natural-born homicidal maniacs. Maybe the ordinary villagers who were innocent yesterday were dragged into the swirl of destruction and death and gradually lost their will.

ff they were killed as soon as they were touched by blood, less than one tenth of the survivors in the entire evil land were qualified to survive.

Even the Fist King himself had struggled to survive in the former evil land, and his hands were stained with blood. How was he going to settle the score?

Therefore, after repeated discussions, everybody agreed unanimously that they were going to bring hope to the evil land instead of killing. They were going to restore the peace and prosperity of the world of martial

arts in the old days instead of clearing a barren land.

For all the bandits, they would be treated as ‘prisoners of war’ first. They would be forced to work and interrogated at the same time. Of course, the most brutal and inhuman criminals would be punished severely. As

for the rest of them, there was still a slim chance of survival.

Only such a relatively lenient policy could attract most of the bandits on the evil land to surrender without wasting too many precious soldiers. After all, the Imperium of True Human Beings was in a state of a thousand

things waiting to be done. The order of the hundreds of Sectors had yet to be restored. There was no time to spare for the chaos in the evil land.

On the last wall of the city, Gu Zhengyang looked at the world that had changed color in front of him. From the dense tents and the obedient crowds, to the crystal warships that were dropping all kinds of assets into

the sky, to the automated armed shuttles and battle puppets that were cruising hundreds of kilometers nearby, to his daughter who was leaning against him and telling stories of their adventures in the sea of stars in

high spirits, he was truly moved to tears.

“,,.While Master Yao was helpless and could only watch the two bad boys named ‘Fuxi’ and ‘Lu Qingchen’ showing off, the Fist King finally arrived!”

Liu Li’s eyes were wide open. He waved his fists exaggeratedly and said, “When Master Yao saw the Fist King, he cried in joy and begged for the Fist King’s help. The Fist King did not hesitate and punched ‘Fuxi’ and ‘Lu

Qingchen’ away. Just like that, he saved the capital city and all of us.

“Right now, the entire imperium is gradually calming down. Normal order has been restored to the Greater Thousand Worlds one after another, and they have returned to the reign of His Majesty the Emperor. And His

Majesty the Emperor is grateful for Lord Fist King’s outstanding contributions in the defense of the imperial capital. He has even pardoned all the crimes that Wu Yingren has committed and granted Lord Fist King an

astronomical amount of resources to eliminate the radiation pollution on the evil land and rebuild our home.

“Therefore, Dad, as long as the Fist King is here, everything will be fine. You don’t need to worry that he is a bandit from the past and think that he is going to be a tyrant. There is absolutely no such thing. He even took

the initiative to say that he admires Dad’s persistence of humanity in the evil land and that he did not collude with the bandits. He really wants to meet you, learn from you, and rebuild the evil land together with you.

Really. In private, the Fist King is a very gentle and patient man. Whatever other people say, I think that he is a real hero!”.
