"Are you the boss that Senior Brother Guo Ran mentioned?" Tu Hu stared at Long Chen in shock, his eyes filled with admiration.
You have to know, Guo Ran is one of the Four Talents of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, the only prodigy with no background and relying solely on his own hard work to reach that height.
In just one year, he mastered the divine art of artifact forging that countless people had been unable to grasp for decades. Even many elder experts in the academy said Guo Ran was a genius born specifically for forging artifacts.
Guo Ran has conquered countless powerful opponents entirely through his own talent and perseverance. It can be said that his rise in the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy is truly legendary.
At the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy, countless people admired him, all idolizing him and learning from him.
Yet this legendary genius often mentioned one name: Long Chen, the mysterious man he called the boss.
Among the disciples who admired Guo Ran, they were all curious about this mysterious man, because whenever someone praised Guo Ran as a genius, he would say, in this world, aside from his boss, there are no geniuses.
So when Long Chen revealed his name, all the disciples of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy present were stunned—they had actually seen a legendary presence.
Long Chen felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected Guo Ran to keep talking about him all along. He had never been to the Moluo Star Domain, yet someone here already knew about him.
"That's right, I'm his boss." Long Chen said with a smile.
With Long Chen admitting it, the disciples of the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy looked at him as if he were a monster.
"No wonder you're so terrifying even without armor. So you're the Long Chen Boss Guo Ran mentioned!"
At this moment, no one had any doubts about Long Chen anymore. Long Chen asked, "What exactly happened here?" Why did the world's barriers close? "
After Long Chen finished asking, he realized the atmosphere around them had changed; almost everyone wore a trace of hatred on their faces.
"You may not know, our Moluo Star Domain... Sigh... Tu Hu gritted his teeth and began to describe the current situation in the Moluo Star Domain to Long Chen.
It turned out that the humans of the Moluo Star Domain had been enemies with the Moluo clan for generations, fighting each other for billions of years, fighting for survival space, their hatred as deep as the sea.
The human race relies on powerful forging divine arts to arm themselves and increase their destructive power, constantly breaking through and innovating, creating all kinds of warships and armor, and their development continues to flourish.
Logically, the human race should gradually recover from their disadvantage and start suppressing the Moluo clan. But the opposite happened: the human race's strength increased, making survival increasingly difficult.
Because people's hearts have changed, as people gradually grow stronger, some have become greedy. Over ninety percent of the Moluo Star Domain is wild and invaded, occupied by magical beasts.
These regions are rich in various mineral resources and grow countless rare medicinal herbs. Many of these rare herbs and minerals are unique to the Moluo Star Domain and are extremely valuable in other star regions.
It can be said that if the Moluo clan were destroyed, the Moluo Star Domain would become a feng shui treasure land, rich in countless resources.
Just tens of millions of years ago, the human race grew powerful and began to suppress the Moluo clan. People fought over resources and harbored ulterior motives, resulting in a crushing defeat.
That defeat severely weakened the human race, causing countless masters to fall. Because the major powers harbored personal motives, their own unique artifact forging techniques were considered top secrets.
But that time, too many experts died, and many secret techniques were never passed down in time, ending completely.
After that battle, the human race could only cling to life, barely catching their breath for countless years.
After that crushing defeat, people did not reflect on their mistakes but instead blamed and shifted blame. In the end, the human race divided its powers, fighting both the magical beasts and preventing conflicts. Not only did the human territory never expand, but the territory their ancestors had conquered also began to shrink.
In modern times, although the human race has improved, people's hearts are like scattered sand, making it hard to cohesive.
What is most hated is that a traitor has appeared among the human race, colluding with the Moluo clan to jointly harm the human race.
The Luo clan was one of them. They were once one of the most glorious clans in the Moluo Star Domain, with countless prodigies, countless experts, powerful inheritances, and profound artifact forging techniques. The Luo clan's betrayal directly led to the current blockade of the Moluo Star Domain.
Encouraged by the Luo clan, many humans also surrendered to the Moluo clan, but most resisted desperately, vowing never to surrender and determined to fight the Moluo clan to the end.
"How foolish. The Moluo clan is nothing but a bunch of beasts. Do you really think you can trust what they say?
When their clan unified the Moluo Star Domain, it would be like the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked. This is nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst and digging one's own grave. Hearing this, Long Chen couldn't help but show a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
"Exactly, but they're just worried about the present and can't see that far ahead.
Moreover, some people are born weak-boned; they forget that their ancestors died fighting for the continuation of the human race. Surrendering to the Moluo clan is a betrayal of their ancestors. "Tu Hu said bitterly.
"Senior Brother Long Chen is an outsider, yet he can see so clearly, yet they are so foolish." A disciple from the Tianlong Divine Armor Academy gritted his teeth, looking utterly disappointed.
"They are not foolish; they are cowardly. They dare not face death, and they know the future may not end well, yet they still cling to a sliver of hope.
Moreover, even if they die in the future, it's better than dying now. To put it bluntly, their bones have already softened, and that's actually quite good. Long Chen said.
"Pretty good?" Tu Hu and the others were stunned.
"After sifting through the sand, all that remains is the sand, and what remains is gold.
After surviving this great calamity, I believe the Moluo Star Domain will be reborn. This can be called scraping through the bones to cure poison. After the storm, a rainbow appears—misfortune brings blessing, and misfortune turns to fortune. Long Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Tu Hu and the others nodded. Long Chen made a lot of sense—those who stayed could always look out for and help each other, and indeed there was no longer the scheming and scheming as before.
Everything has its pros and cons, but right now they are in the worst period, only able to see the bad side, not the good.
Most importantly, the Moluo clan is now fully unleashed, and human traitors have offered strategies. The situation is far from optimistic.
"Senior Brother Tu Hu, we're here to deliver supplies. Now that we're trapped, should we call the academy for help?" A disciple from the academy said to Tu Hu, who was the leader here.
"No need,"
Tu Hu didn't answer. Long Chen spoke up:
"Get ready. I'll take you out of these guys outside in a bit."
"Huh?"
Tu Hu and the others could hardly believe their ears.
