Chapter 781: Foreign Races

In the end, the empress didn’t fight those people from the foreign races at all.

She was confident in defeating them, but had no confidence that she could keep her people alive

Since Ren Baqian and many winged cavalry warriors were around, there was safety in numbers.

However, it was because of them that the empress didn’t dare to attack those people from the foreign races.

Besides, she had a lot of questions to ask them as well.

As for the winged cavalry, they were more able to accept that their enemies had become bystanders than the empress was. Although they felt resentment, when these straightforward men learned that these foreigners had been controlled and had no will of their own, they put away their hatred because they didn’t know who to direct it toward.

After all, the culprits were already dead.

“You mean that we were being controlled?” One of them from the Ba Pi race couldn’t believe what he heard.

At this moment, Ren Baqian and the empress stood across from the foreigners. However, the foreigners were very scattered, and not only were they unfamiliar with each other, they even felt hatred.

These foreigners were fully naked by this time, so they used leaves to casually cover themselves up.

“Otherwise what? Did you intentionally kill about eight of us? Do you wish to have a taste of my iron fist of socialism?” Ren Baqian sneered, pointing at the giant crater in the distance as well as at the burning forest. “Can you survive this strike?”

Upon witnessing the scene after the detonation of the nuclear bomb, the person from the Ba Pi race looked at Ren Baqian with a doubtful expression.

After all, Ren Baqian’s Kismet Heaven level of strength was nothing to them.

It would be a joke if he could wreak such havoc with his power.

Ren Baqian looked at the skeptical expressions on their faces. Without a word or movement, a gold and silver spear appeared in his hand.

“Turning your spirit into a weapon?” Several of the people from the foreign races were suspicious. The person in front of them was clearly a Kismet Heaven expert, so how was he able to own a Heaven-grade weapon? Even they couldn’t do this. Not even an ordinary Cardinal Heaven expert could do this, unless they were from a tribe with special traits.

After thinking about the destruction that he had wrought just now, they suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could this man be a Cardinal Heaven expert who experienced a sudden dip in his strength after unleashing that blow, resulting in the Kismet Heaven aura that we feel now?

The power of that blow was something that even a Cardinal Heaven expert couldn’t achieve.

Could he be a peak expert at the Longevity Heaven level?

They suddenly felt a deep veneration for Ren Baqian.

If he truly was a peak expert at the Longevity Heaven level, how would they have survived until now after being controlled to attack him?

Ren Baqian kept silent, but a metal chain shot out from his palm and wrapped around his spear.

Two Heaven-grade weapons!

Immediately, the foreigners no longer dared to belittle Ren Baqian.

Even though his strength had currently been reduced to the Kismet Heaven level, there was no telling if he would lash out and reduce them to ashes.

Ren Baqian felt secretly happy when he saw that their faces were filled with doubt and reverence. This spear and this metal chain were indeed useful at times.

It would be much easier for him to question them from now on.

There were seven individuals from different foreign races in front of him. Liu Sheng came from to the Serpent race and snake blood ran in her veins. She had the upper body of a human, the lower body of a snake, and was a member of the Serpent race.

People from the Serpent race typically had this form, but not all of them had snake blood.

Liu Sheng’s blood was considered to be the best among the members of her race.

The person with a round face, round nose, and cat whiskers was called Qiao Sen. He was a member of the Heaven Seeker race.

The man with two horns on his head was called Thunder Blaze, and he was a member of the Thunder Barbarian race.

The person with four pairs of arms was called Gu Ling, and she was a member of the Ba Pi race.

The Thunder Barbarian race and the Ba Pi race had a feud with each other, and anyone could see this without it being said.

The girl with the furry tail was called Xun You, and she was a member of the Passion Fruit race.

The two remaining foreigners were men. One of them had hooves and was named Ta Lan. He was a member of the Wind Chasers race

The other man’s body continuously secreted some sort of liquid, which made his body seem like it was covered in a layer of oil. Any physical attacks to his body would slip away. His name was Xu Heng, and he was a member of the Void race.

After understanding all these foreign races, Ren Baqian felt very curious. How many races were there in the Sixty Thousand Mountains?

Even these foreigners didn’t know the answer to this question. From what they knew, there were more than 30 races.

However, the population of each race was low, ranging from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand at most.

When Ren Baqian asked about the locations of these races, they immediately fell into a confused state.

They had completely no recollection of how they were controlled.

They didn’t even know where they were now, let alone where their homes were.

If they wanted to go back home, they had to rely on Qiao Sen of the Heaven Seeker race. The noses of people from his race were 100 times more sensitive than the noses of dogs, and they were pretty spiritual as well.

Ren Baqian started feeling a little curious. For one, he wondered whether Qiao Sen would die from a skunk bomb.

Second, he was curious about this spirituality that they mentioned.

Qiao Sen did a demonstration on the spot. He found a tree branch and tossed it up into the air. He then pointed at where that branch landed and said, “If we follow this direction, it should lead us home!”

Ren Baqian was stunned.

Was this the so-called spirituality?

If this was it, then he had been very spiritual ever since he was a child.

“This is the spirituality that you speak of?” Ren Baqian didn’t know what kind of expression to have.

“This is spirituality!” The foreigners had heavy expressions on their faces. “Others would simply throw the branch, but heaven seekers do so with spirituality. That is why they are heaven seekers. God is helping them with everything that they do!”

After looking at their expressions, Ren Baqian felt a little more convinced.

Even though it sounded ridiculous, there were too many unknowns in this world.

Before arriving in the Sixty Thousand Mountains, he never knew that there were so many different races that lived alongside the aboriginals like these foreigners did.

Even the aboriginals who had lived here for generations didn’t know either.

Even if Ren Baqian were to see a ghost tomorrow, he wouldn’t be too surprised about it.

After chatting with these foreigners until daybreak, he managed to learn some things from them.

First, there were at least 30 different races in the Sixty Thousand Mountains. He also found out some basic information about these races.

Second, although these people had been controlled and were stripped of their own consciousness, the foreigner from the Void race was able to tell from the growth ring on their genitals that 76 years had passed.

When Ren Baqian heard about this method of measuring time, he was immediately full of expression.

Third, apart from the areas where they lived, these foreigners didn’t know about anything else.

Fourth, they didn’t know why they called humans the “abandoned people.”

They didn’t know much about the herdsmen either. If Ren Baqian hadn’t destroyed all the herdsmen, these foreigners probably wouldn’t even know about the existence of people who were capable of controlling others.

Not only were they unclear about the herdsmen, they also weren’t sure about chinchillas.

This made Ren Baqian continue to lay down the idea of exploring Lin Qiaole’s origins.

At dawn, these foreigners were eager to return home as well. After all, they had been controlled for decades or even longer. They wanted to go back and check out the situations of their homelands.

“Take this thing with you. Open it if you encounter trouble on your journey. It might be useful.” Ren Baqian opened a metal box and took out a silver cylinder.

The empress’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw what he did.

Qiao Sen immediately took a few steps back when he saw the cylindrical object. He was puzzled at first and then felt a trace of fear.

“Will we die if we take it?”

Several of the other foreigners looked warily at Ren Baqian.

“How so?” Ren Baqian laughed out loud. “Just be careful with it. It seems like your spirituality isn’t that accurate!”

Several of the foreigners were alarmed and took a few steps back before vanishing into the forest.

Ren Baqian started to mutter, “It seems like this spirituality thing opens up quite a few paths.”

The empress felt regret. In the end, she still didn’t feel too happy for not killing these foreigners.

“Your Majesty, we have no choice!” Ren Baqian spread his arms and knew what she was thinking about. He would also be glad to avenge the winged cavalry warriors who had died at the hands of these foreigners. Since she already intended to kill them, he tried to provide her with the means to do so.

However, they actually recognized the danger of the nuclear bomb.

“Now that we know of their existence, there will always be opportunities in the future.”

“Yeah.” The empress gently sighed and turned to look at the giant crater in the distance before saying, “I’ll go take a look.”

Even though they could already tell that the herdsmen were dead after losing control of the foreigners, she still couldn’t feel at ease if she didn’t see it for herself.

“Your Majesty, there’s poison there!” Ren Baqian hurriedly responded. It was much easier to tell her that there was poison than to explain the effects of radiation to her.

Since they were all pretty strong, they were still able to withstand the effects of the radiation from where they were. It would be quite dangerous if they were to move to the center of the explosion.

“Your Majesty, we are able to get married, so you have to prepare for pregnancy. It’s better to avoid such poison!” Ren Baqian persuaded her patiently.

The empress’s face flushed as steam rose from the top of her head.
