Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

119. Chapter 119 Big Harvest!

Chapter 119: Bountiful Harvest!

"Advisor Liu, has the situation really become this serious?" Wu Songyang asked Liu Zimo with a grave expression in the General Staff Office.

Liu Zimo didn't answer directly, but instead asked calmly, "Is it serious or not? General Wu has personally experienced it before, hasn't he?"

"It has been over two months since the second calamity struck. Those little bugs that came from the foreign realm have already spread all over the world, and they have started to take root and control the leaders of many countries and cities," Liu Zimo continued. "In fact, the situation is even worse than we can imagine!"

This was not an exaggeration by Liu Zimo, but the truth. Even the Sage-level Master Zhiyuan, who had reached the Holy Realm, was inevitably controlled by the devouring spirit bugs and couldn't free himself. It was even more so for others.

Faced with the invasion of the devouring spirit bugs, they didn't even have the slightest sense of it. They were completely unaware of the problem and had already become puppets of the devouring spirit bugs without realizing it.

"This..." Wu Songyang fell silent.

He had just freed himself from the control of the devouring spirit bugs and naturally understood their strangeness and horror.

However, he couldn't imagine what would happen if all the leaders of the world's countries were controlled by these devouring spirit bugs, gradually enslaving and controlling the entire human race on Earth. It would be a terrifying thing.

In that case, what Liu Zimo mentioned earlier about the breeding farms and caretakers seemed not difficult to achieve, and it was not just a hypothetical idea.

In this way, the entire human race on Earth would face a cruel but very real problem and choice.

Should they choose to fight the demon race to the end for dignity and freedom, even if it meant the extinction of their own race, with the last human dying in battle?

Or should they endure humiliation, use cunning strategies, and allow the demon race to implement this breeding farm plan, so that the human race could have a chance to catch their breath and avoid extinction?

This question was too big!

It almost determined the future and survival of the entire human race on Earth, and it was not something that Wu Songyang, as a general staff member, could decide alone.

"What do you mean, Advisor Liu?" Wu Songyang looked up at Liu Zimo and asked softly.

But as soon as he asked, he knew he had asked a stupid question.

Warriors, especially high-level warriors who had refined their martial will, almost everyone had an indomitable spirit. They would rather die than be enslaved and controlled by others.

Not to mention being confined and raised like livestock by the demon race.

Liu Zimo didn't answer this question either. He just looked at Wu Songyang quietly, waiting for his decision.

In fact, this was also a test that Liu Zimo had for Wu Songyang, the general staff member.

If this general was a coward, choosing to survive and temporarily submit to the demon race without any courage to resist.

Then Liu Zimo would turn around and leave, looking for another boss who could make decisions.

After all, there was more than just Wu Songyang who could be in charge of Da Xia.

"Don't look at me like that!" Wu Songyang seemed to have also seen Liu Zimo's intentions and shook his head speechlessly. "As a soldier, I naturally advocate for war and would rather die than surrender!"

"But as the general staff member of the military, I can't act alone. I always have to report and discuss with the leaders above," he continued. "But now, we don't even know if the leaders above, like me before, have been influenced by those devouring spirit bugs..."

"So, I have to trouble Advisor Liu to investigate and verify!" Wu Songyang said.

Liu Zimo nodded understandingly.

Based on the feedback from his spiritual perception, Wu Songyang's words just now came from his sincere heart and were not just a perfunctory response to him.

Very good!

This showed that he didn't misjudge Wu Songyang. He wasn't the kind of coward who would accept humiliation and not resist.

The reason why he didn't directly envelop the entire city with his divine intent like he did in Sansource City was because he was waiting for Wu Songyang to take the initiative.

After all, the capital city was the capital of Da Xia, and there were too many taboos. Without the approval and endorsement of the general staff member, rashly investigating would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble.

As for trouble, Liu Zimo himself was not afraid and didn't care.

But his two disciples by his side, as well as his family and friends in Luozhou, would inevitably be affected to some extent, and he definitely didn't want to see that.

Therefore, there were some rules that even in the end times, couldn't be easily touched.

Even if they were to be touched, they had to be done in a certain way and method, not recklessly.

"I do have a secret method that can quickly lure out all the hidden devouring spirit insects lurking in the dark."

When Wu Songyang spoke up, Liu Zimo did not refuse, but pretended to hesitate and said, "However, once this secret method is used, it may envelop the entire city. During this period, it is inevitable that some personal or even national privacy and secrets will be touched upon, so..."

"I authorize you!"

Wu Songyang immediately understood Liu Zimo's meaning and directly displayed the courage that a military staff officer should have. Without hesitation, he authorized the operation!

"In times of urgency, wartime military regulations take precedence over everything. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, Advisor Liu can go ahead and do it!"

"If anything happens or if anyone is offended, I, Wu Songyang, will take responsibility for Advisor Liu!"

Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction. He liked leaders who were decisive and unafraid of challenges!

Now that there was someone to take the blame, what was there for him to hesitate about?

After gesturing to Wu Songyang, Liu Zimo's mind moved, and his spiritual consciousness at the Lingyuan Realm was instantly released.

Swish!

In just an instant, this immensely powerful spiritual consciousness enveloped the entire capital city like a divine might.

This was the first time Liu Zimo had fully unleashed his spiritual domain without reservation since advancing to the Lingyuan Realm in his spiritual cultivation.

Within a radius of 20,000 kilometers, everything was within his grasp.

Whoosh!

At the same time that Liu Zimo's spiritual domain covered the entire city, all martial cultivators above the Golden Body Realm and all spiritual cultivators who had awakened their spiritual abilities and opened their spiritual sea within the capital city sensed it and looked up in astonishment.

Who is it that possesses such a powerful spiritual consciousness fluctuation?!

Who dares to probe the entire city so recklessly?!

When did such a powerful spiritual cultivator at the Grandmaster Realm or even the Saint Realm appear in the capital city?!

Everyone speculated in secret, filled with fear.

Even Wu Songyang, who was sitting opposite Liu Zimo, trembled at this moment. When he looked at Liu Zimo, he felt a sense of awe, as if he was facing an insurmountable mountain.

Since opening his spiritual sea after turning a misfortune into a blessing, his spiritual perception was now several times stronger than that of ordinary martial cultivators. Naturally, he could clearly sense the immense spiritual consciousness released by Liu Zimo.

In the face of such a vast spiritual thought and will pressure, Wu Songyang felt that he was as insignificant as a grain of sand in the ocean or a speck of dust in space.

He felt so small and weak!

What realm has Advisor Liu reached now?

Why does the aura and pressure emanating from him surpass that of Hong Yuxun, who is already infinitely close to the peak of the Grandmaster Realm?!

He couldn't even muster the slightest resistance!

Wu Songyang was extremely amazed, especially after comparing Liu Zimo with Hong Yuxun. He felt even more strongly the power and mystery of Liu Zimo.

Who could have imagined that just over three months ago, this little guy who had just broken through to the Golden Body Realm had already grown to such an extent?!

Yei Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, who were guarding outside the door, felt the spiritual consciousness released by their master and couldn't help but glance at each other.

"It seems like Master's spiritual cultivation has become even stronger!"

Both little girls were amazed.

Compared to when they were in Sanyuan City, the spiritual domain their master now released had undoubtedly become broader and more powerful!

Under such circumstances, how long would they have to work hard in their cultivation to truly catch up with their master?

The two little girls clenched their small fists, determined not to be left too far behind by their master and not to embarrass him!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment.

Inside the General Staff Office.

Under the close scrutiny of Liu Zimo and Wu Songyang, nine streams of light and lightning quickly arrived and effortlessly entered Liu Zimo's forehead sea of consciousness!

Liu Zimo was already used to this sight. Every time he cast his line, he would catch nine devouring spirit insects, bringing him great joy.

A bountiful harvest!

Indeed, it was the capital city. From the very beginning, it had received such attention from the Yao Clan and had dispatched so many devouring spirit insects to infiltrate it!

This trip to the capital was not in vain after all!

And Wu Songyang, for the first time in a clear state of mind, sensed the existence of the devouring spirit insects, causing him to be shocked.

"There are actually nine of them?!"

"If we add the one that was previously parasitic in my sea of consciousness, that would make it ten!"

"If they manage to control the minds of the main forces within the city, even the pillars of the country, the consequences... are simply unimaginable!"

Wu Songyang was extremely frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back in an instant.

Who could have imagined that the danger of the extinction of the human race would come so dangerously close to them!

"Fortunately, we have Advisor Liu!"

"Fortunately, more than three months ago, I granted Advisor Liu the badge and identification of the martial arts advisor of the Military Affairs Department, and brought Advisor Liu into the camp of the Military Affairs Department!"

In the midst of fear, Wu Songyang couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart.

If it weren't for his immediate decision to use the Military Affairs Department's once-a-year discretionary power to bring Liu Zimo into their camp, perhaps today's situation in the capital would be completely different!

Of course, based on Liu Zimo's previous selflessness and his nature of saving the world, he might still do the same thing.

But that would have little to do with their Military Affairs Department, right?

In just a few moments.

Liu Zimo opened his eyes again, holding nine fresh blue spirit crystals in his hand, and looked at Wu Songyang with a smile on his face.

"Fortunately, all nine devouring spirit insects have been killed!"

"The capital should be safe now..."

Before Liu Zimo finished speaking, the thoughts of the demon Lingling, who had been living in his sea of consciousness, gathered, and his consciousness fluctuated continuously.

"Haha, this Liu Zimo actually made a judgment error!"

"He's really naive!"

"He thought that catching nine devouring spirit insects would solve everything?"

"He really thinks that all the larvae of our devouring spirit insect clan are brainless idiots?"

"Just now, when this freak covered the entire city with his divine sense, I vaguely sensed the presence of twelve members of our clan!"

"But now, only nine devouring spirit insects have come and confused Liu Zimo. It seems that this freak's intelligence isn't that great!"

"... "

Lingling rarely had the opportunity to catch Liu Zimo making a fool of himself, and he mocked him to the fullest.

To this, Liu Zimo was not the least bit angry, but rather analyzed every word the little bug said very seriously!

That's why he didn't ban Lingling's perception in his sea of consciousness, just for this moment.

Did he really not know the cunning and treacherous nature of the devouring spirit insects? Did he not expect that by luring them on such a large scale, there might be some fish that slipped through the net?

Of course not!

After the lessons of Yao Eighteen and Yao Nine, how could he overlook these unexpected situations?

And this Lingling in his sea of consciousness is the best helper for him to fill in the gaps!

Look now, this "cunning demon" has taken the initiative to come out, hasn't it?

"There are actually three more?"

Liu Zimo narrowed his eyes and said to himself:

"Where are the other two besides the one hidden in Hong Yuxun's sea of consciousness?"

"I didn't sense them at all before!"

That's right, Liu Zimo himself had already sensed a fish that slipped through the net, in the sea of consciousness of Hong Yuxun, who had been in seclusion all along.

After all, he was the future Martial Saint Yuxun, and the only Martial Grandmaster in the capital. Liu Zimo would certainly not overlook him.

When he released his divine sense to cover the entire city, he had been closely monitoring the changes in Hong Yuxun's sea of consciousness, and indeed discovered a clue.

It can be basically confirmed that this future Martial Saint Yuxun has also been controlled by the devouring spirit insects.

However.

Liu Zimo did not notice the other two devouring spirit insects mentioned by Lingling.

It can only be said that the Divine Ability of the Devouring Spirit Insects is truly too powerful and elusive. If they intend to hide, not even the spiritual fluctuations of someone in the Spirit Abyss Realm can perceive them. Therefore, at this moment, the role of Yao Lingling, this "treacherous demon," is suddenly highlighted! The reason why Liu Zimo has always been reluctant to kill this little chatterbox who curses him every day is exactly for this reason, isn't it? This little guy always brings him unexpected surprises at critical moments!

"Not right!" Liu Zimo intentionally raised his voice and changed his words, then said to Wu Songyang, "There should still be some fish that slipped through the net, like the aura of the Devouring Spirit Insects residing in Hong Lao's body!"

"Besides Hong Lao, there should be others, but it will take time to search slowly..."

Sure enough. After hearing Liu Zimo's words, the mocking voice of Yao Lingling abruptly stopped, and a sense of disappointment quietly emerged, and the train of thought was led by Liu Zimo in another direction.

"He actually discovered it?"

"How despicable!"

"But he only discovered one, it's nothing!"

"That Human Grandmaster is already very conspicuous, and the Devouring Spirit Insect residing in his sea of consciousness has not completely concealed its aura fluctuations, which is why it was discovered by this abnormal Liu Zimo."

"But there are still two Devouring Spirit Insects in the east and north of the city, one residing in the sea of consciousness of a three-year-old child, and the other in an ordinary old man with no cultivation!"

They were not deliberately triggered by Liu Zimo's spiritual consciousness just now, and they have been hiding very well, so it is impossible to be discovered!

Liu Zimo's eyes brightened when he heard this.

There is one in the east and one in the north of the city!

Even the people they reside in are clearly feedbacked!

This Yao Lingling is really helpful!

In his joy, Liu Zimo didn't hold back and directly stuffed a large amount of spiritual power source into the confinement space as a reward.

Soon, as soon as the spiritual power source entered, Yao Lingling couldn't spare the time to mock and ridicule anymore. It plunged into it and began to devour and refine it.

Liu Zimo took the opportunity to close the Divine Ability and no longer let the little bug take the opportunity to explore the outside world.

At the same time, his spiritual consciousness rose again, focusing on and discerning the residents in the east and north of the city.

A three-year-old child, an ordinary old man.

The targets were very clear and not difficult to investigate.

After all, at the beginning of the catastrophe, whether it was the capital city or the entire Great Xia, or any country in the world, they were all indiscriminately attacked by the sudden demonic disaster from the sky.

Among all the cities, the first group of people to die were actually those who had no resistance and even had difficulty escaping, such as infants and the elderly.

In the current capital city, the survival rate of children and the elderly is less than one in a thousand.

In the entire eastern district, there are less than two thousand surviving children, and there are less than a hundred children around the age of three.

The same goes for the elderly, their numbers are scarce, and they can easily be identified.

So, in less than three breaths of time, Liu Zimo quickly locked onto two suspects, an old person and a child.

"Feihong, Xiaoxiao!" Liu Zimo suddenly spoke and instructed his two young disciples outside the door, "Go out and bring these two people back to me!"

While speaking, Liu Zimo's mind moved, imprinting the location and physical characteristics of the old person and the child into the sea of consciousness of the two girls.

"Yes, Master!"

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao nodded in unison, and then, one to the east and one to the north, they flew away!

"They can fly?!"

"They are both in the Golden Body Realm?!"

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Shengli, Zhang Wei, and the other internal guards realized that Liu Zimo's two young disciples were all in the Golden Body Realm!

No wonder!

When they were dining in the cafeteria before, they were able to devour three to four hundred kilograms of Golden Body Realm demonic beast meat in one gulp!
