Chapter 参加 Two Battles, Residing in Liao Dong

Jiang Xiao, whose original body participated in two battles, temporarily stayed in the Liao Dong region, garrisoning one side.

While garrisoning, he also started a new plan.

Although the legion's combat missions were urgent, Jiang Xiao believed that with his swift and decisive methods, the ocean camp would restrain itself for a while, and at least China's coastline would be stable for a while.

Of course, Jiang Xiao would also create several Earth·Xiaos again to garrison China's southern coastline, entrusting all information reporting, liaison, and guarding matters to the decoy.

At this time, the decoy Jiang Xiao, who had been staying by Er Wei's side, also found his so-called superior.

The Star Warriors military had already sent the news to Er Wei as soon as the original Jiang Xiao appeared on Earth.

She also immediately contacted the decoy Jiang Xiao in the Shadow of Calamity, but unexpectedly, she was left behind this time.

Her Shadow of Calamity was obviously a safe place, and the two didn't have to worry about eavesdroppers.

After listening to the decoy Jiang Xiao's report for a long time, Er Wei finally realized that he was about to make a big move.

And it was likely a big move that would affect the world!

Er Wei was quite curious about the Earth·Xiaos that appeared in Lu Dong, but at this time, she forcibly suppressed the questions in her heart, quickly followed Jiang Xiao's train of thought, and listened to him reporting information.

Everyone's attention was still on the battles between the sea and land camps, but Jiang Xiao had his sights set on Hopkins.

With confidence, he was ready to go to war with Hopkins!

Er Wei crossed her arms, leaning against the air wall of the Shadow of Calamity, watching the decoy Jiang Xiao sitting cross-legged in front of her, nodding slightly as he spoke.

After a long while, she said, "So, you already have the ability to capture him.

Not only that, but you've also found a way to hurt him."

"Yes, before returning to the Earth dimension, I used *Star Martial Era* to instill *Star Martial Era* in myself, giving me a second initiation and comprehending the secret of the fifth page," Jiang Xiao said, pursing his lips. "All of this is traceable."

Saying that, Jiang Xiao raised a finger: "*Star Martial Era*'s first page is to improve star power realm and stimulate human potential.

The second page is to lower star power realm and weaken human potential.

The third page is relatively balanced, with both weakening and stimulating star slots.

The fourth page is to understand the essence of star techniques, converting any star technique into pure star power for output or resistance.

And the fifth page is..."

Following Jiang Xiao's train of thought, Er Wei suddenly said, "Understanding the essence of star power, converting all star power into various star techniques."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Er Wei suddenly felt like she had been offended.

Jiang Xiao's eyes were like he was looking at an idiot.

Those eyes clearly wrote two words: naive! Green!

Seeing such eyes, Er Wei narrowed her long and narrow eyes slightly.

Jiang Xiao obediently lowered his eyes, and at this moment, suddenly transformed into San Wei...

He muttered in a low voice, "The fifth page is also reversed, it can shatter the effects of the fourth page, and turn everything back to normal."

People without *Star Martial Era*

are always on the first level: seeing mountains as mountains, seeing water as water.

Star techniques are star techniques, and effects are effects.

And people with *Star Martial Era*, after opening page four, come to the second level:

Seeing mountains not as mountains, seeing water not as water.

All star techniques and effects are understood as pure star power.

And after the fifth page of *Star Martial Era* is opened, one comes to the third level:

Seeing mountains still as mountains, seeing water still as water.

In this world, there are so many kinds of star techniques, countless in number, and they have their meaning of existence.

Maliciously erasing all star technique effects, tracing everything back to the source, and classifying it as "one," is an irresponsible act.

A hundred flowers bloom, so this world is real and wonderful.

The existence of *Star Martial Era*·Page Five, taken out alone, has almost no effect on ordinary people, but it is a devastating blow to the people on this "second level."

Those arrogant people who think they have seen through everything in the star martial world will eventually understand the reason for the existence of star techniques.

Hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Er Wei's expression became solemn, and she said, "If the fifth page has such effects, then Hopkins shouldn't have given you *Star Martial Era*."

Jiang Xiao said, "In fact, from the very beginning, Hopkins shouldn't have given me *Star Martial Era*."

"Yes," Er Wei nodded in agreement. "Indeed."

Jiang Xiao said, "I used to not know why he gave me *Star Martial Era*, why he urged me to study it. Now, after I transformed into a Star Warrior for the second time, I finally understand.

After the second initiation, I not only saw through the fifth page, but also saw half of the sixth page. Although it's only half a page, it can express a lot."

Er Wei: "What is it?"

Jiang Xiao: "A body is not a human anatomical chart, but a human shell.

Although it's only the lower half of the body, you can clearly see the skin like cracked earth, patches of scorched earth, it looks a bit desolate."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiao sighed softly and said, "It's obviously just half a picture, but when I look at it, there's always a inexplicable feeling in my heart.

A irreversible, unrecoverable sense of powerlessness.

I don't know why, but as soon as I see this half picture, I feel a sense of guilt."

Saying that, Jiang Xiao couldn't help grinning and said, "Damn it, it's really inexplicable, it's like I owe someone something."

Er Wei: "Language."

"Oh," Jiang Xiao said with a distressed expression, "That old guy's real purpose is probably to have me comprehend these last two pages.

He's probably been troubled by this extreme psychology for decades, and he's about to die, so he's desperately urging me to help him comprehend the star map.

However, I have a hunch that the last two pages don't seem to be functional Star Warrior transformations, but more like telling a sad story, which should also be the driving force behind Hopkins's crazy search for the outside world.

It's obvious that it's not a human anatomical chart, it's a life, a person.

This half picture is like the child's grandmother standing at the head of the Shuli Bridge, constantly beckoning to me, asking me to explore the mystery of its existence.

Ever since I saw this half picture, guilt and exploration have always existed, and this feeling is terrible. I just saw Xia Yan, and argued with her, and my mood improved a little."

Er Wei: ""

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about Hopkins," Jiang Xiao shook his head vigorously and said, "People like him will never give me a second chance to capture him, and without a doubt, once he fails, it will lead to his terrible revenge.

This is a cruel and tyrannical emperor-type figure, extremely selfish, and can use any means to achieve his own goals.

From the moment he appeared in front of me, he has been wearing a hypocritical mask, threatening me to do everything he asks, and you also know what his method of threatening me is.

You and I both know very well that once he doesn't get everything he wants, he will definitely take action.

This is an unstable bomb, and age is the last straw that will crush him. We don't know when he will explode.

Now, he thinks he's close to the truth and is still exploring the Dragon Cave. Once he spends a certain amount of time and energy and doesn't get what he wants, it will be the beginning of a real disaster.

We must take advantage of the present to eliminate this crisis. The land and sea battles are already headache enough, and if we add someone who doesn't care about anything and doesn't care about anything, it will be terrible.

This kind of person is definitely the kind of person who will make the world be buried with him. The only thing that keeps him sane is that he still has a glimmer of hope and a goal."

Er Wei followed Jiang Xiao's train of thought, and she also heard Jiang Xiao's urgent and resolute heart!

In Jiang Xiao's long speech, she also deeply realized the seriousness of the problem.

Even an honest and kind person might change beyond recognition after all hope is shattered.

What's more, Hopkins?

Hopkins could kill off the Jin Yu race with a single thought, who followed him in his battles.

With a single thought, he could imprison all his closest comrades in arms, depriving them of their entire lives.

No matter how kind Hopkins is to Jiang Xiao, you must be clear about his purpose!

Why is Hopkins so friendly to a stranger? So much "forced growth"?

He can even imprison Gaia, the woman he loves most, so what is Jiang Xiao?

Hopkins has a human body, and he is already old and frail, but Gaia still has a long life. Why should she be imprisoned alone in that isolated sea ridge world?

Hopkins doesn't care, doesn't care at all, he is the center of this world, and everything in this world is at his service, he can do whatever he wants.

Er Wei said, "Then cater to his goal and give him hope.

You can now transmit across dimensions, but he can't.

You can deceive him, take him to see the outside world, but throw him into one of your Shadow of Calamity spaces, whether to kill or imprison, it's up to you."

Jiang Xiao frowned, sitting on the ground, twisting his fingers together, very tangled in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "I can take him to transmit, but the problem is that he, like me, has the top-quality clones, at least 9.

Nine clones, although they don't have the highest quality star techniques, they still have the *Star Martial Era* star map, and can still bring danger to this world."

Hearing this, Er Wei's expression was a little ugly, but she looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "After the original body dies, will the Jiao Yang quality clones, decoys, still exist?"

Jiang Xiao was stunned, and subconsciously supported himself on the ground with both hands, moving his butt back

This girl, don't you want to use me for experiments?

Er Wei silently looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "I can't hurt you anymore."

"Uh," Jiang Xiao scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Isn't it because you bullied the weak before, making others live in your shadow for the rest of their lives."

Er Wei was unwilling to bear such a heavy crime, and said, "We've only known each other for five years."

"Oh?" Jiang Xiao blinked and said with a strange expression, "Why does it feel like we've known each other for a lifetime?"

Er Wei opened her mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

Maybe, for the two of them, too many things have happened in these short five years, which is indeed a bit long.

If it were to be written as a story, it would probably be over 4 million words

"That, business, let's talk business!" Jiang Xiao came back to his senses and said quickly.

"Since it can't be verified, let's prepare for both possibilities," Er Wei said, "I think most of Hopkins's clones should be in the Dragon Cave, helping him explore the only opened alien dimension in this world.

After all, after so many years, he has finally found clues, and he will definitely do his best."

"Yes," Jiang Xiao nodded, agreeing with Er Wei's reasoning, and said, "Whether there are Hopkins's clones in the Dragon Cave, I can be sure that his original body must be in the Dragon Cave."

Er Wei: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao said, "As I said just now, clones cannot improve the quality of star techniques. Therefore, the Hopkins who owns the Sea Ridge World must be the original body.

The Dragon Cave guards also stated that he has never come out since he went in."

Er Wei also provided Jiang Xiao with a piece of information: "Since Hopkins entered the Dragon Cave, it is equivalent to embarking on a road of no return.

Now, the tunnel entrance of the Dragon Cave is guarded by soldiers 24 hours a day, opening a space gate near the entrance.

Hopkins can't get out anymore. As long as he tries to get out, he will be imprisoned in the soldiers' space."

Jiang Xiao said, "This is also the reason for my hesitation.

Is it possible for him to put all his clones in the Dragon Cave?

This kind of person will definitely leave a way out for himself. How could he not have foreseen the current situation?

Therefore, when he wants to come out of the Dragon Cave, he will definitely use the clones he left on Earth to cause trouble in the Dragon Cave to ensure that the original body can come out normally."

Er Wei said with a hoarse voice, "Then you go and collapse the Dragon Cave, forcing him out, forcing the clones he left on Earth to appear.

Use your decoy, set up an ambush in the Dragon Cave base, use your fifth page to shatter the fourth page of his clones, and end all this."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is all this going to be executed simultaneously?!"

"Yes," Er Wei nodded and said, "After capturing his clones, kill the original body again to see if those clones will die."

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Well the good thing is that after the Dragon Cave collapses, that level of disaster cannot be resisted by *Star Martial Era*·Page Four.

Those space cracks that tear everywhere have nothing to do with star techniques, they are pure space collapses. Surviving is definitely not based on strength, but on luck."

Er Wei carefully thought about the plan and pondered for a long time, and said, "We can't determine how many clones he left on Earth, but this plan is relatively complete, and delays will bring about changes.

Every minute and every second we delay here, Hopkins may come out of the Dragon Cave.

Once he comes out, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if you have the ability to harm him and arrest him, you can't stop him from causing trouble."

"In fact, I can also negotiate with him and really take him to find" Jiang Xiao's voice did not fall, and Er Wei interrupted!

"Stop."

Jiang Xiao looked up: "Huh?"

Er Wei squatted down, looking at Jiang Xiao with burning eyes: "Hopkins is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary criminal.

We can't negotiate with this kind of person.

Today, he can threaten you to do this kind of thing in order to achieve his goal. Tomorrow, he can take this piece of land and ask you to do anything.

As long as you care, he can get everything he wants from you.

His desires and ambitions cannot be satisfied by your compromise.

One compromise means a lifetime of compromise. This is a road of no return.

Minimizing risks and dangers is our greatest responsibility to this world."

Looking at Er Wei's serious and solemn appearance, Jiang Xiao nodded silently.

Er Wei's voice was hoarse and firm: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
