Ultragene Warlord

Lie, are you…
declaring war on the entire realm? ”

”If all you see are enemies, what will you see at the end of your slaughter? ” the draconian sage asked.
He had remained silent during the entire meeting; this was his first time speaking up.

He was a being of ancient wisdom and experience, and his eyes shone with deep insight.
His question seemed to be probing Zhang Lie ’s innermost desires.

”I represent the world.
All shall lie at my feet! ” Zhang Lie announced arrogantly, as though this were some trivial feat.

Chen Fan frowned.
”Aren ’t you being a little too ambitious, Zhang Lie? ”

However, the draconian sage suddenly lifted his head and laughed.
”Haha, haha! Haha! ”

Everyone turned toward the draconian sage, who had broken out in laughter.
It took him a while to return to his senses.
”I apologize.
It ’s been too long since I was so excited. ”

Chen Fan frowned again.
”Sage? ”

The draconian sage looked directly at Zhang Lie.
”I might be a useless pile of old bones, and I know you might not think much of us draconians, but I and the rest of the draconians shall lend you our full support. ”

Chen Fan ’s eyes widened.

The sage continued, ”It ’s been too long since I saw such a sparkling piece of jade—no, you ’re no piece of jade, but rather a star shining brighter than the sun! I eagerly await what kind of change you ’ll bring to the three thousand worlds of the realm, and I admire your drive that keeps you charging onward despite what anyone else says. ”

Zhang Lie wasn ’t surprised by the sage ’s pronouncement; his favorite activity was to cultivate new heroes and turn them into legends in their own right.
With his experience, he had helped out countless hunters with tremendous potential, and was known to be mentor, patron, and witness to a host of geniuses and legends.

The sage ’s eyes had never been mistaken before.

Zhang Lie countered, ”And if I ’m charging headfirst into the abyss? ”

”Then we ’ll be going into the abyss together, ” the draconian sage replied without hesitation.

Chen Fan mulled it over, but announced, ”I still oppose this decision. ”

Zhang Lie smiled faintly.
”I apologize, Chen Fan, but this is a decision I ’m making for myself, irrespective of what you think.
As you know, my Team Zenith can ’t remain in the third realm for good, and we won ’t be able to protect the humans here forever.

Furthermore, the aliens of the Milky Way won ’t always remain our allies.
Once everyone ascends to the fourth realm, what will you do? ”

Chen Fan retorted, ”With the limit-breaking potions you ’ve devised, Zhang Lie, we humans will surely have the power to protect ourselves! ”

Zhang Lie smiled wryly.
”In the end, you ’re leaving the problem unresolved for future generations. ”

”Is there anything wrong with that? ” Chen Fan countered.
”Humanity will need challenges to grow. ”

”Have you considered that, by that point, human hunters might be facing the combined wrath of all three thousand worlds? I ’m confident that I will be able to conquer all three thousand.
Are you certain there will be hunters in future generations who can say the same? ”

Chen Fan fell silent.

”We ’ve already retreated time and time again.
There ’s no need to do so any further.
I, Zhang Lie, hereby declare that I ’ll unite all three thousand worlds into a massive world, one ruled by the kingdom of Limit! I shall lead mankind on the path to glory, to greatness! ” Zhang Lie announced, shocking Chen Fan and making him stumble back with the force of his proclamation.
He looked at Zhang Lie in shock, his mouth gaping, yet unable to speak.

”My decision is final, regardless of your opinions on the matter.
If anyone dares to stop me, you ’ll be my enemy, the enemy of mankind.
Alright—we can stop the meeting here.
Sun Mengmeng, you ’re a fire-attuned hunter, and you have some degree of advantage against the devil trees.
I ’ll leave them to you. ”

Sun Mengmeng, who had been riled up by Zhang Lie ’s proclamation, immediately accepted the order without question.
”Yes, Captain! ”
