Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Super Gem, Peering Into the Future, Where Did the Huaxia Man Come From!
Everyone nodded, fully agreeing with the Sovereign’s words.
The Time Gem is indeed a very powerful artifact.
Subsequently, the remaining four began to introduce themselves, namely Superman, who possesses the Power Gem.
He can possess endless power and can even replicate the power of others, provided his own body can withstand that power.
Soul Hero, who possesses the Soul Gem.
Soul Gem: It can control others’ souls, strip them of their souls, make them obedient, or even create souls!
Space Man, who possesses the Space Gem.
Space Gem: It can shift space, expand space, arrange space, or create new spaces, among other things.
Dream Hero, who possesses the Reality Gem.
Reality Gem: It changes reality. Things deemed impossible in reality can be fabricated from thin air, and impossible events can be altered into existence.
The five gems are held by five individuals.
Each gem possesses incredibly terrifying abilities and would be fought over worldwide.
And now, they are all in the hands of the Superpower Empire!
"Having gathered five individuals and possessing five gems means that we are invincible in this world!" The Sovereign laughed maniacally, nearly losing his mind.
Others joined in the laughter, equally feeling invincible.
"Next, let’s discuss our new plan. I intend to organize a global competition and send people from various countries to confront each other. This will test other nations’ strengths and allow us to seize their resources," the Sovereign said as he glanced at everyone, speaking solemnly.
During the global competition, he could randomly send people to challenge other countries, and if a nation is found lacking in strength.
It could be targeted for a full-scale attack and annexation.
If any country is too strong, they would temporarily bear with it, wait until they’re stronger, and then sound the horn of war.
"We can do it, we have the Super Gems, we completely have the upper hand." The old man on the left nodded in agreement.
"I agree too." The old man on the right nodded in approval.
"Good, then it’s settled. We proceed with the global competition. I will send invitations to each country, and they should all accept," the Sovereign said confidently.
Then he looked at the Time Traveler: "Can you use the Time Gem to look into our future? Which country is the strongest, and which is the weakest?"
"I’ll try, but the power of the Time Gem can’t be overused. My current spiritual power cannot withstand frequent usage," the Time Traveler replied solemnly.
In the next second, a green gem flew out from his bosom, hovering in his palm.
He grabbed it, and in an instant, a boundless, terrifying green energy erupted from the gem, enveloping his entire body.
As everyone watched the man in anticipation,
Boom!
The man was suddenly blasted backward, crashing heavily against the wall, his eyes wide in terror: "Who are you, how could the future...?"
Soon after, the man’s head drooped, life extinguished.
And the Time Gem, right in front of everyone, exploded!
A terrifying wave of energy radiated, knocking everyone present over backward, turning the scene upside down.
The energy shockwave swept through the entire Superpower Empire, causing citizens nationwide to be alarmed, not knowing what had occurred.
"What just happened?" The Sovereign got up, dazed and terrified, staring at the corpse with a bewildered and disoriented expression.
How did it happen so suddenly?
He died so inexplicably and even uttered a cryptic phrase about who they were and what the future held?
What on earth is happening?
"Sovereign, what happened to him?" an elder asked in terror.
How could he just suddenly be gone?
Could it be that the Time Gem’s energy was too overwhelming for the man to bear?
But then why did the Time Gem explode as well?
That was a Super Gem, the most powerful artifact in the game, without exception.
It’s just gone like that?
There was no second one.
"Quick, use the Soul Gem to call out his soul for an explanation." The Sovereign, realizing something, looked at Soul Hero.
"Alright." The woman nodded, immediately holding the orange Soul Gem in her palm, attempting to summon the Time Traveler’s soul.
Yet, after a few seconds, there was no reaction.
This meant the man’s soul was gone!
Eradicated!
"How could there be no soul, how is that possible?!" The Sovereign was even more panic-stricken and tried using the Reality Gem to alter reality.
To see if it could resurrect him.
Yet still, there was no effect.
The Time Traveler could never be resurrected.
And when people were still puzzled, a person suddenly appeared at the scene!
Everyone was astonished, staring at the newcomer. He was handsome, incredibly young, and did not appear to be from their country but a native of Huaxia!
"Who are you?!" The Sovereign was shocked. How did a Huaxia person suddenly appear here?
Everyone was on high alert, observing the Huaxia man.
Especially those who possessed the gems, each taking out their respective gems, ready for battle.
"So it was you guys causing all the commotion." Chen Lan glanced around with a faint smile.
He was lying in his dorm playing with his phone when he suddenly sensed someone spying into the future and glanced at him.
That person was instantly blasted backward, and he felt the energy from the Time Gem’s explosion, so he came here immediately.
"Who are you? This is the Superpower Empire, and I am the Sovereign. You’re invading!"
"Don’t make it sound so terrifying. I’m just here to take a look." Chen Lan turned to those possessing the gems, raising an eyebrow, feeling a thrill in his heart.
From those gems, he sensed the Dao rhythm of the three thousand great Daos!
Path of Space, Path of Power, Soul Dao, these are the three thousand great Daos!
Unexpectedly, in this Superpower Empire, he found such wonders, which pleasantly surprised him.
Although his cultivation was of the Great Emperor level, he hadn’t mastered all three thousand Daos yet and was still not proficient.
He only manifested the game’s cultivation, but hadn’t integrated any one Dao.
If he could acquire these gems and absorb the Dao rhythm within, he could begin to master these great Daos.
"Get out of here!" Superman shouted, clutching the gem tightly, throwing a punch toward Chen Lan.
The Power Gem burst into purple energy, pouring into his whole body, granting him great power, unfathomably terrifying.
Seeing this, Chen Lan slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, a testament to the power of the Path of Power.
It can enhance individual strength and replicate others’ strength.
As the saying goes, destroy all methods with sheer force, facing dreadful power.
No matter what magic you have, I can break it with one punch.
Boom!
Superman’s punch landed on Chen Lan’s head, his expression instantly changed, as Chen Lan remained unscathed, or even untouched.
Instead, a transparent Barrier blocked it, allowing no further advance.
"This power is nice, but unfortunately, it isn’t suited for you."
