Mu Zhi Xia stared at the bronze forest that was filled with killing intent, his gaze became gloomy, his heart filled with shock.

He had always been bitterly looking for the Perseus King Court, the legendary Goddess of War was the true crux of the unification of the Savage Continent. Mu Zhi Xia had long decided, regardless of what cost, he had to bury the Savage Continent and kill the woman. As long as he killed her, then the Savage Continent that had just started unifying would immediately crumble and scatter.

But he never thought that not only was he unable to find any traces of them, but he would meet with a Mechanicalal Army in the Savage Continent.

From the looks of the mechanical puppets, they were definitely mechanical puppets from the Gold Continent. Their lanky figures that did not have any swelled parts and their monotonous colored blades hung on their backs with their blade hilts below. On their backs were six pairs of wings to illustrate its outstanding agility. The monotonous metal armor that was riddled with decorative designs were only present in the highest grade mechanical puppet designs, they had a unique name, called the [Gold Continent Marks].

The Gold Continent Marks were able to increase its defensive capabilities to a high extent, and greatly increase its compatibility with energy, allowing its user to have an increased level of control over the energy and increase the mechanical puppet’s performance. But it’s workmanship was extremely complicated and the cost of manufacturing one was extremely expensive, only the highest grade mechanical puppets were more inclined to be equipped with it. This grade of mechanical puppets were never on the markets. But in Honorable Martial Continent’s intelligence network, it was extremely outstanding, where Mu Zhi Xia had gained knowledge on. Mu Zhi Xia even knew that people that used the mechanical puppets that wielded the Gold Continent Marks were the guards with the highest level of authority from Gold Continent.

But, there were over 2000 of such mechanical puppets in front of him!

If he did not personally witness it, Mu Zhi Xia would never believe it, his face that was riddled with hardships was extremely gloomy.

~Did the Gold Continent find a way to resolve the high price of the [Gold Continent Marks]?~

This thought flashed past Mu Zhi Xia’s mind, causing his expression to become even more serious. He knew what it meant for the Honorable Martial Continent. He only needed to kill the lady to resolve Savage Continent, and from the beginning, they never needed to fear the Southern Region. Aside from the Honorable Martial Continent, there was another powerhouse equally strong and unified, and that was the Gold Continent.

Gold Continent was the most powerful continent of the Eastern Region, it held an extremely long and rich history, and was the true overlord of the Eastern Region.

But, what made Mu Zhi Xia worried was that the Gold Continent’s mechanical army had appeared in the Savage Continent, which could be considered a strategic intent.

~Are they trying to take over the Savage Continent? No. Taking over Savage Continent is not as beneficial as attacking the Southern Region and obtaining the benefits.~

If the Gold Continent and the Honorable Martial Continent were to attack the Southern Region together, the pincer attack from the back and front would easily divide the entire Southern Region up. And in the Savage Continent’s history, they had never once been conquered before. Compared to the rich and abundant Southern Region, the Savage Continent was barren and poor. Even if the Gold Continent

wanted to attack the Savage Continent, they would not just send an elite army of 2000 men, what use would that be?

~Unless, they have the same thoughts as I do?~

Mu Zhi Xia’s eyes lit up, ~That’s right, a unified Savage Continent will equally be disadvantageous for Gold Continent. Most probably they have also seen the danger of a unified Savage Continent, and wants to kill that lady.~

This was the only plausible reason that could explain for the appearance of a 2000 elite army appearing in the Savage Continent to Mu Zhi Xia.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became to him, but the ever cautious Mu Zhi Xia did not loosen his guard, and carefully observed the other party. When he noticed the flag, he was somewhat surprised, as it was a striking bronze cross.

Mu Zi Xia was extremely familiar with the emblems of the Gold Continent’s elite armies, but he had never seen such an emblem before.

~Seems like they are in disguise~, Mu Zhi Xia thought.

After thinking about it, he decided to send a few people to probe them.

Right at that moment, his gaze swept past one of the mechanical puppet, and was stunned.

He had never seen such a strange Mechanical Puppet before, it had two heads and four arms, as though it was made up of two bodies. These two bodies were split into black and white with a clear differentiation, the white body had black eyes, while the black body had white eyes. Its body was equally split into black and white, and there was a name written in vermillion on it, "Gemini Monarch".

~Gemini Monarch?~

~What a strange name~, Mu Zhi Xia had never heard of such a strange name before.

~But, why does it sound so familiar? Where did I hear of such a word from?~

Mu Zhi Xia became suspicious.

********************

"Such terrible luck, see what your unlucky mouth brought us."

Inside Gemini Monarch was a face that resembled Tang Tian’s, except he was somewhat more handsome, he revealed a smile of ridicule, with a head of white hair, dressed in a gorgeous black robes that had not one thread loose with a noble temperament.

"Haha, we finally found a place to battle!" On the seat beside him sat a tall and sturdy person who was laughing out loud with an excited expression: "Run run run, we’ve been running so much that my mouth tastes like a chicken, but we can finally do battle! And what’s more, he’s Mu Zhi Xia, hahahaha, this old man’s blood is churning!"

If one looked carefully, one would realize that this tall and sturdy person was a spirit general.

They had quietly moved out when the Honorable Martial Continent had launched the Southern Expedition.

"You have no blood." Old Tang reminded him.

The Commander was enraged: "You want to fight?"

"Be calm, the enemy is in front of us, unless you want them to laugh at us?" Old Tang said relaxingly: "Hehe, for Mu Zhi Xia to appear in Savage Continent, there’s no other reason except that he wants to beat my daughter-in-law, he is truly looking to die."

His last sentence was filled with killing intent.

The commander was riled up: "He also wants to beat your son!"

"No problem about that, he can do that." the rage on Old Tang’s face instantly disappeared as he replied calmly as he recalled fondly: "His skin is thick anyway, he can take the beating. Sigh, I have never beaten him from young.....sigh, I have never let him experience the love of a father when he was young, it is truly regretful."

"Aren’t you afraid of him stumbling onto an unexpected misfortune?" The Commander had a look of disbelief, but then he sneered: "Oh, I forgot about Little Fool. That year, you had high hopes for Little Fool, whose character was complete darkness. Cunning, treacherous and cold, and with countless of famous masters guiding him, hehe, what is that called, oh yes, I remember. He can embody the paragon demeanor of the Gemini Monarch Family, and can take control of the Gemini Constellation’s foundation, he was your true trump card for comeback. Ultimately......hahahahah! The Crazy Tang family blood did not care about it and destroyed the palace!"

Far away in the Shang Continent, Little Fool who was buried in work seemed to hear someone talking about him as he raised his dazed head up.

~Why isn’t Crazy Tang back?~

~When can I end this life of bitter work! The current Little Fool was yearning for Tang Tian’s return.

Hearing the laughter, Old Tang’s face became as black as a pot. In truth, he had never expected that the one to take possession of the body was actually Tang Tian’s light side.

In the past, he had sealed Little Fool into the Palace to let him have ample time to mature. And as for the light side of Tang Tian, who was naive and playful, Old Tang never had many thoughts for him, and with much difficulty of avoiding other people’s vigilance, he sent him away as a form of protection, to allow him to grow safely.

Who knew that things developed out of his expectations. Little Fool ultimately broke through the seal, but he was unable to possess the body as the main consciousness, and ultimately was suppressed by Tang Tian’s light side. And the Tang Tian that he thought was dumb, strangely became a tyrant. Right from the start, Little Fool seemed to have taken the assistant role, which made Old Tang unable to understand.

The safety of Tang Tian allowed him to remove the largest boulder from his heart, the reason why he had his wife bring Tang Tian to Star Wind City was to allow them to live a life without trouble, and not to attract attention.

But Tang Tian’s accomplishment made him extremely shock and surprised.

He felt that his entire world was being overturned.

It was like he had two sons, the one who was sinister, treacherous, cold and emotionless, a son that had accepted the guidance of masters, could not be compared to the naive, dumb, simple-minded son that lived in a deserted place with little upbringing?

~That shouldn’t be!~

But the truth was right in front of him.

Tang Tian’s success was not only stronger than Little Fool, but even Old Tang himself, which made him feel ashamed.

The Commander was right, the foundation of the Gemini Constellation, as compared to the foundation that Tang Tian had built up himself was like comparing a small town magician to a world renowned magician.

After they had entered the Sacred Saint Galaxy, where the Commander came from the Gold Continent and held a high position, although he had returned to Gold Continent as a spirit general, but he was still widely known. That was how the two of them built up the army.

But compared to Tang Tian, who built up the Southern Alliance from nothing. Given enough time, there was a high chance that he could unify the entire Southern Region.

Old Tang was still clueless on how Tang Tian had done it, he felt that this son of his was especially crazy, especially capable of taking advantage of others, and able to always be at the favourable position.

But to Old Tang, who was a thick skinned man, would never be affected by such ridicule, he was ashamed for two seconds before composing himself and spoke happily and with pride: "He is also my son. The student will surpass the master, can you see how exquisite my planning in the past had been! I’m too far sighted! Commander, do you know what is the strongest ability of a man?"

The Commander thought for a moment, then said: "To always attack and never be restrained, to succeed in every undertaking!"

"Wrong!" Old Tang replied straightforwardly.

The commander did not understand him: "Wrong? How am I wrong?"

Old Tang spoke freely and calmly, yet with an emotion as though he was overlooking the world with his disdainful eyes: "As a man, the strongest ability he can have is to leave a seed that can change the world!"

The Commander’s face immediately turned black: "Come, let’s just fight, we’ll treat it as an exercise."

"We can slowly take our time to fight our battle, don’t be anxious, we’ve been at it for so many years already." Old Tang replied: "But the chance to encounter Mu Zhi Xia is one that cannot be sought for but chanced upon. I only accepted reluctantly to you putting the Southern Cross Flag with the army was because you went to flip through ten thousand years of rubbish. But, Xiao Mu doesn’t recognize this flag, also, the Southern Cross Army’s Emblem had disappeared for ten thousand years, who will remember it? Since we have raised this flag, we cannot lose our face, what about it, Commander, you shouldn’t have forgotten all of your capabilities right...."

Listening to Old Tang’s endless talking, the Commander’s thoughts had strayed away, all the memories that were close to eroding to nothing surfaced in his mind, all of the faces that he thought that he had completely forgotten were still as clear as day.

historical

It was as though he had returned to the battlefield of the past, the familiar sound of the wind, the familiar sound of the roars, even the familiar scent in the air, the smell of the smoke.

His forthright face that was riddled with the passing of time, the traces of years that had passed by.

The fighter’s heart that had been piled up with rust, suddenly started to beat again, causing all the rust to break and fall, the sharp tip that was as cold as snow, heated up like a flatiron!

The Commander smiled, and raised his head.

~This Flag, will always be the same in the battlefield!~
