New Star Dou Battle Network (5)

Le Zhengen realized that Anping had thought about this issue for a long time. Since Anping had already considered it, Le Zhengen didn't question him further. He nodded slightly and said nothing.

Then Yali said, "Did you anticipate that Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would trade with the Star Battle Network?"

She asked this because the timing of Anping's miracle system was too convenient. Zhuo Shi and Chen Xinjie had just proposed to exchange the Star Battle Network for the Ice and Fire Eyes or the Fairy Grass. The next day, Anping came up with a more handy miracle system for them to try out.

Le Zhengen and Yun Ming also looked at Anping, wondering if this was too much of a coincidence. They were curious about this as well. Besides, they felt a chill in their hearts. It would be dreadful if Anping had planned this all along.

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "Of course not. I'm not all-knowing and all-powerful. How could I know what Tang Sect and Shrek Academy want to do? If I were really that powerful, why would I hide in the City of Miracles and not dare to go out?"

What Anping didn't say was that even though he didn't expect Tang Sect and Shrek Academy to offer the Star Battle Network, he had already guessed that they wouldn't give up the Ice and Fire Eyes, or rather the Fairy herbs in them.

The reason was simple. For Tang San's consciousness to grow, Fairy herbs was an essential part of his plan. After all, in the soul master's system, it could play an important role in Tang Wulin's development. The only thing that worked was the grass herbs.

It wasn't that Tang San couldn't help Tang Wulin in other ways without the Fairy her s. It was because the divine world was too far from Douluo Star. If Tang San used his divine power to help Tang Wulin, the cost would outweigh the benefit.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin could indeed help Tang Wulin grow, but unfortunately, they had to guard against the abyss that was about to stir. Ah Yin used the power of the golden ancient tree to create the seeds of nature and give Tang Wulin the identity of the son of nature. That was the most she could do.

If they wasted too much energy to improve Tang Wulin and something went wrong with the Abyss Plan, that was something none of them wanted to see.

After hearing Anping's explanation, the three of them were still a bit puzzled, but they didn't dwell on it anymore. They understood that the miracle system wasn't something that could be done overnight.

The visit of Zhuo Shi and Chen Xinjie was probably just a coincidence. After all, it would be terrible if Anping had really figured out the actions of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy before creating the Miracle System.

After clearing their minds, Yali said, "Since we have this miracle system, the Star Battle Network is useless to us, so there's no need to meet with Chen Xinjie and Zhuo Shi."

That was also true. The only things Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were willing to trade were the metal for the four-word battle armor and the Star Battle Network developed by the Federation.

They understood the pressure on Shrek Academy. It wasn't that they didn't have more valuable things, but those things were usually irreplaceable, and they wouldn't trade them.

Yali, Le Zhengen, and Yun Ming all agreed that there was no point in meeting Chen Xinjie and Zhuo Shi. However, Anping shook his head slightly and said, "We have to meet them, otherwise they might not leave us alone."

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Anping explained, "They didn't come here just for the Ice and Fire Eyes or the Fairy herbs. You know, if that was all they wanted, why would they bring Tang Wulin with them?"

"You must realize that Tang San's divine consciousness is in Tang Wulin. Since they brought him along, the main reason for their visit is probably Tang San's divine consciousness."

Anping suspected that they might have the idea of letting Tang Wulin and the others compete with the younger generation of the City of Miracles, but that was probably a secondary goal. He feared that their ultimate purpose was that Tang San's divine consciousness wanted to see him and Gu Yuena.

After hearing Anping's explanation, Yali frowned slightly and asked, "If that's true, then what do you think they want from us?"

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. I'm not omniscient and omnipotent. It's definitely not good for us, but we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Le Zhengen thought for a moment and then said, "I think it has something to do with the Abyss. I heard that the Abyss's attacks on Douluo Star have become more intense lately."

"And when I chatted with Chen Xinjie, they always tried to steer the conversation to the Abyss, so I guess they came here to persuade us, the City of Miracles, to join the fight against the Abyss, and then..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but they all knew what he meant. If Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's goal was to drag the City of Miracles into the war with the Abyss, they surely had ulterior motives.

They wouldn't have thought so in the past. After all, the Abyss was the enemy of the whole Douluo Star. It would make sense for Tang Sect and Shrek Academy to unite all the forces they could to fight against the Abyss.

But things were different now. They all knew that the Abyss was bound to Douluo Planet by Poseidon for the sake of his parents' evolution. Tang Sect and Shrek Academy wanted the City of Miracles to join the war with the Abyss, hoping that they would suffer heavy losses in the process.

Tang Sect and Shrek Academy didn't need the City of Miracles' combat power. They had plenty of their own, from the ancient sects and families that were allied with Shrek Academy.

Not to mention, they also had two mysterious beings, Tang Hao and Ah Yin. If they pulled the City of Miracles into the war, there was only one possible outcome: they wanted to eliminate the City of Miracles in the Abyss.

After pondering for a moment, Yali said, "If that's the case, there's no need to see them. We can just send them away after the exhibition is over."

Yali thought that no matter what scheme Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had, as long as the City of Miracles ignored them, they would be fine. When the City of Miracles grew strong enough, they wouldn't have to fear anyone.

Anping shook his head slightly and said, "Even so, I still think we should see them. The Abyss is not only important to Tang Hao and Ah Yin, but also to us."
