Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 533 - 534: Third World War [3rd Update]

The Lord of the Four Seas stood there, a white-haired old man caught in a dilemma. He wondered how the wise rulers of the past would have handled such a situation.

Zhan Long clenched his jaw and bowed to the Lord of the Four Seas. "Please, Head of State, pass judgment on this matter."

The Lord of the Four Seas’s brow was knotted like a tangled rope. Difficult! This is too difficult!

Regardless of whether Azure Dragon was at fault, Wu Tian was definitely in the wrong. He had struck someone in front of the Monarch, at the Dragon Country’s Ministry of Security, on the Dragon Group’s own turf. Beating up a member of the Dragon Group, to some extent, violated an iron law!

The Lord of the Four Seas was caught in a dilemma, and Zhan Long grew anxious, wondering if the Lord of the Four Seas would still stand up for their Dragon Group. In the past, the Monarch had always been responsive to their every request!

Unexpectedly, the most relaxed people here were Wu Tian and his companions, who simply went about their business. Wu Tian was busy playing with the little one, while Little Kirin, Little Phoenix, and Little Kunpeng called out, hoping he would come "play" with them too!

Just as the Lord of the four Seas was stumped, a voice rang out.

"Who are all these people? Making such a racket here! Can’t you let a handsome old man like me do my research?" The commotion had drawn out a man in his seventies or eighties, dressed in a professor’s white lab coat, but with dyed-blond hair. His eyebrows were groomed, his hair was cut in a trendy Western style, and he wore men’s cologne. It was clear that despite his age, he still yearned for fashion.

Both the Lord of the Four Seas and Zhan Long were taken aback by the sight of this man.

"Professor Kong, I hope we haven’t disturbed you?" Zhan Long said hurriedly.

"If I said you did, would you commit suicide?" Professor Kong shot Zhan Long a look.

Zhan Long was left speechless. Why did I have to open my mouth?

The Lord of the Four Seas furrowed his brow slightly. "Professor Kong, a minor incident occurred here, but rest assured, it’s nothing serious. You can go back to your research."

In fact, some very special things had begun happening today. Scientists around the world seemed to have had an epiphany, coming up with ideas they had never conceived of before. For example, a scientist in the United States of America, an MIT graduate, suddenly designed a watch that could instantly envelop its wearer in a suit of armor! In the Iron Wolf Country, a previously unknown biologist had a sudden flash of inspiration and invented a potion that could turn people into hundred-meter-tall giants! This sort of thing was unbelievable. And this morning, this very Professor Kong also had a unique idea, claiming he could create a potion that would give every single person the ability to fly like a bird. It was safe to say that from this day forward, these professors and scholars would become hot commodities in every country.

Worried that Wu Tian might offend Professor Kong, the Lord of the Four Seas specifically went over and told him about the strange events that had begun that day.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian was also taken aback. He had a rough idea of what the Ginseng Fruit Tree’s trial was all about. Those scientists didn’t suddenly have brilliant ideas that allowed them to invent future technology ahead of schedule because they were smart. The Ginseng Fruit Tree is helping them! The wisp of power left to the tree by all the heavenly gods and buddhas is truly something else! It’s changing an ordinary modern world into something like a Marvel universe! So, what’s the test? Unify the globe? Conquer these scientists? Wu Tian was still somewhat uncertain about it.

Professor Kong had also noticed Wu Tian and the others, but his gaze was primarily fixed on the little one.

"It’s you! It’s you, it has to be you! You must be that most brilliant student Kong Zhiyuan was talking about, aren’t you?" Professor Kong’s voice was tinged with a hint of madness, as if he had spotted a treasure. He hurriedly ran towards the little one.

His behavior was less like a scientist’s and more like a patient’s who had just escaped from a mental asylum. Then again, maybe all great scientists are just like this? Wu Tian glanced at the Lord of the Four Seas and the others; they already seemed unfazed by such eccentricities.

"You’re crazy! Stay away from me." The little one, who feared nothing on heaven or earth, was actually startled by the professor’s crazed expression. She involuntarily took a step back. Right now, he looked like an old, man-eating demon.

"Little girl, don’t be afraid, don’t be scared at all. I’m actually very gentle," Professor Kong insisted, not acting his age in the slightest. After carefully examining the little one, he asked earnestly, "Would you consider becoming my student?"

The professor’s full name was Kong Zhiqing. He and Kong Zhiyuan were brothers, but they couldn’t stand each other. Lately, Kong Zhiyuan had been calling Kong Zhiqing repeatedly to boast about a student he was going to mentor into a person of great renown. He had even shown Kong Zhiqing a photo. Kong Zhiyuan had described the little one in the most glowing terms imaginable, finally adding, "You will probably never meet such a fine disciple in your entire life."

Kong Zhiqing had been grinding his teeth in anger ever since.

Now that he saw the little one with his own eyes, Professor Kong Zhiqing felt this was a heaven-sent opportunity! I have to snatch this prize student away from Kong Zhiyuan!

"No way, no way. I don’t want to study with you." The little one shook her head. Then, her big, adorable eyes gazed at Kong Zhiqing, her cute little face filled with sincerity as she said, "Tell me what you like about me, and I’ll change it!"

"..." Professor Kong Zhiqing felt wounded.

The Lord of the Four Seas gave the White Dragon Lady a look. She nodded and went to escort Professor Kong away.

The Lord of the Four Seas personally led Wu Tian to the Central Chamber. "The rest of you wait outside. Wu Tian, you alone will come inside with me," the Lord of the Four Seas said.

Zhan Long and the other members of the Dragon Group nodded. The Dragon Group did not take orders from any other official body; they answered only to the Lord of the Four Seas.

But Wu Tian didn’t go in alone. He carried the little one and brought the three Divine Beasts inside with him.

"This..."

Zhan Long and the others wanted to protest that this was inappropriate. The Lord of the Four Seas had clearly said that everyone else should wait outside—how could he bring others in? But Wu Tian clearly paid this no mind and simply closed the door to the Central Chamber.

Inside, the Lord of the Four Seas was already seated. The room was filled with so much advanced equipment that it gave off a sense of ultra-modern technology and luxury. It was the kind of scene most people had only ever witnessed in the headquarters of a defense team from a show like *Otaman*. The entire space was glaringly, brilliantly white.

Seeing Wu Tian bring his daughter and pets inside, the Lord of the Four Seas was slightly taken aback but didn’t get angry. Get angry with the Martial God over something so trivial? The Lord of the Four Seas was no fool. He knew it would be unwise; if he were an idiot, he would never have attained his supreme position.

"Martial God, I sought you out today because there is a grave matter to discuss," the Lord of the Four Seas said, his tone becoming unprecedentedly solemn. "As you know, many scientists and biologists around the world are having sudden breakthroughs. One created that armor, and another developed a Spider-Man-like serum. I predict... that the Third World War is very likely to break out!"
