Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 413: 413, Ancient Great Power Born_1
“What’s the second thing?” Su Yu was gazing at a series of gruesome monster pictures in the folder, feeling an immense pressure.

As a child, he often watched Ultraman’s monster-fighting series online. He didn’t imagine that when he grew up, it would be his turn to fight monsters, and even in a hell mode with as many as 3730 at a time!

It felt overwhelmingly difficult.

Xue Wenli understood the pressure this matter put on Su Yu, it was indeed a huge pressure for the entire world.

She handed Su Yu a second folder, “You’ll understand after you see what’s in this next folder.”

Su Yu took the folder and opened it.

Each page in the folder contained a high-resolution photo of an old person. There were twenty or thirty pages in total.

Most of these elderly people were men, many of them with white hair and aged faces. What intrigued Su Yu was that the last few pages of the folder showed several foreigners whose facial features were unmistakable.

Without waiting for Su Yu to ask, Xue Wenli took the initiative to explain, “These are photos of ancient powerhouses who have recently emerged and joined ‘relevant departments’. The foreigners are present because our country is the only one with a Spiritual Spring Eye, thereby attracting many foreign ancient powerhouses.”

Xue Wenli flipped the folder to the first page and pointed at the photo of an old man, saying,

“This here is Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin, and the second page features his prime minister, Wei Zheng.”

“Oh.” Su Yu nodded, taking a closer look at the two white-haired old men in the photos.

He hadn’t expected this man to be the famous Emperor Taizong!

Xue Wenli didn’t stop there.

She turned to the second page and pointed to an old man with stern features and traces of imperial majesty, continuing her introduction:

“Look here, this is Emperor Suiwen, Yang Jian… this dishevelled one is the Eastern Jin poet Tao Yuanming, rumored to have lived till now thanks to some coincidence… and this one is a bit special, he claims to be the Heavenly General Zhang Jiao from the Three Kingdoms period. According to the account of Elder Zuo Ci later in the folder, he’s the real Zhang Jiao.”

At this point, Xue Wenli couldn’t help but give Su Yu a playful look, as if to say, “You’re caught red-handed, aren’t you?”

Su Yu wore an embarrassed expression.

Who would have thought that the real Zhang Jiao was still alive!

In his past life, he never heard about Zhang Jiao emerging; he had assumed that he no longer existed.

To deflect his embarrassment, Su Yu cleared his throat and changed the subject, “Ahem, what about these foreigners towards the back of the folder? I’m more interested in them.”

Xue Wenli didn’t embarrass Su Yu further; she smiled and turned to the last few pages of the folder, introducing:

“This is Caesar from the Roman Republic, a character from the BC era… This is King Arthur from the British Empire, you might have seen him portrayed in many TV series and movies… The last one is Constantine XI, the last monarch of East Rome. He’s similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in some ways, being the last ancient powerhouse who survived past the period of Spiritual Energy exhaustion in the West, and there were none who followed.”

“Lots of foreign friends! Welcome, welcome.” Su Yu laughed dryly.

He didn’t really know much about these foreigners, “Caesar” somehow reminded him of “Satan”;

As for “King Arthur”… his mind suddenly flashed an image of a blonde girl holding the “Sword of Promised Victory”…too much anime can be harmful!

As for the last one “Constantine XI,” he seemed to have heard of him somewhere, or maybe not.

Su Yu shook his head and continued listening to Xue Wenli’s introduction.

After Xue Wenli had introduced all the ancient powerhouses, Su Yu looked through the folder and asked, “Are these the only ancient powerhouses who have emerged so far?”

“Of course not.” Xue Wenli shook her head, “There were plenty of ancient powerhouses during the eras of Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han.”

“However, some of the powerhouses from those time periods have difficulty communicating verbally and can only correspond through difficult written exchanges. As such, many did not consent to have their pictures taken for the archives.”

“In fact, some ancient powerhouses have lived for so long that they’ve forgotten their own names, barely able to recall the names of their kingdoms when they first attained their powers.”

“Forgetting their own names… it seems that these elders have lived very long lives…” Su Yu gave a sigh, “What about their current power levels?”

“As for their power…” Xue Wenli thought about it for a moment before answering:

“According to themselves, they were all at least at the Dividing Spirit Stage or the equivalent of the sixth-level Sanctuary in game terms. Only when one reaches the Dividing Spirit Stage can they ensure their physical bodies remain intact and extend their lifespan to over 2000 years.”

“You also know that after the Anshi Rebellion in the middle Tang period, Spiritual Energy quickly became depleted, so these elders no longer demonstrated their powers openly. But even as they’ve been conserving energy, with no way of replenishing Spiritual Energy, their power levels have generally dropped to the Gold Pill stage or even the Formation period. Currently they are all in the process of restoring their power, and no one has yet reached the Dividing Spirit Stage.”

“So, Nemesis,” Xue Wenli looked at him gravely, “After seeing your video, many elders express their interest in going to Skru Star. After all, the Spiritual Energy in Skru Star is far more abundant than ours here. What do you think of this?”

“Well…” Su Yu fell into thought.

After thinking for a while, he answered, “Next time we go to Skru Star, Donna has given me six places. Tina and I will occupy two of those places, leaving four for the elders.”

“But, you need to make it clear to the elders. First, only those who have reached the Dividing Spirit Stage can go! Second, going to Skru Star is a matter of life and death. Even I have come close to death twice there. So they must be prepared to die there before they go!”

“I understand, I will definitely explain all this to the elders.” Xue Wenli nodded.

Su Yu patted his head that was a little swollen from all the thinking. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time.

It was already almost half past seven.

He looked at Xue Wenli, “Alright, let’s leave things as they are for now. At eight o’clock tonight, I’ll bring Tina to your city center branch to start planning the recapture of the Spiritual Spring Eye!”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements right away! See you tonight, Su Yu.” Xue Wenli waved goodbye to Su Yu and left.

“Goodbye!” Su Yu waved goodbye to Xue Wenli, then leaped up and flew into the sky, disappearing through the window on the ninth floor.

…

Xue Wenli turned her gaze back to the figure of Su Yu flying high above and couldn’t help but feel somewhat downcast.

Even though she had said all the things she intended to say to Su Yu, she felt that she had failed in her task to “seduce” him.

Yes, Tina was younger and prettier.

“Who would choose a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old leftover woman like me over a youthful girl of seventeen or eighteen?” Xue Wenli smiled self-deprecatingly, then quickly drove away.
