Chapter 334 The Underdog World of Psychic Power
South China Sea, World Dream Group, underground laboratory.
Shirley gently placed a bottle of potion containing a pale golden liquid on the table. The bottom of the glass bottle tapped against the smooth surface, making a crisp, light sound.
"Shenteptide Biotechnology has achieved groundbreaking results."
Her voice was calm, yet like a stone thrown into a lake: "This is the enhancement potion. After taking it, ordinary humans can gain the ultimate speed, strength, and reaction time."
The eight shareholders of World Dream Group stared intently at the bottle of medicine, not blinking an eye.
They could sense that the small bottle of liquid contained a faint, supernatural power—so faint as to be almost imperceptible.
But everyone knows that this thing is groundbreaking.
After the South China Sea War, the Xia Kingdom government tried its best to cover up the incident, but the news always leaked out.
Conglomerates around the world have sensed the presence of supernatural forces and have dispatched professional teams disguised as tourists to collect samples in the South China Sea.
Unfortunately, they started much later than the world dream.
A beautiful woman picked up the bottle of medicine and smiled brightly: "This small bottle will cost over a hundred million."
No one present thought this was an exaggeration.
These capitalists never treated money like dirt just because they had access to supernatural forces.
Whether it is Taoism or Legalism, they emphasize "wealth, law, companion, and place" or "law, wealth, companion, and place," with wealth always coming first.
A portly middle-aged man sneered, "If it weren't for the interference of the South Korean Seven Stars Group, the East Sakura Onmyoji Family, and the Southern European Wolf Clan, the price of this potion would have doubled."
Suddenly, Xia Li sensed something, her eyes lit up, and she looked toward the door.
She coughed twice and said, "Meeting adjourned."
Several shareholders glanced at her suspiciously, then understood what she meant and immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Mother."
After everyone filed out, Xia Li stood up from her executive chair and walked towards the door with a smile: "Sir, you've arrived. Why don't you come in and have a seat?"
The door was pushed open as soon as he finished speaking. Jiang Chaosheng walked in.
He's going to the Mariana Trench today, and he's passing by World Dream, so he thought he'd stop by for a look.
Shirley's recent task is to find the location of the Gates of Hell, and he wants to ask her if she has any useful clues.
Although he already knew that the Mariana Trench was the gate to hell, it was still the threshold of hell.
It's impossible for the Avici Hell to be undefended; it may be extremely dangerous there.
Also, the Mariana Trench is too large; it would be better if there were more likely coordinates.
Jiang Chaosheng casually sat down in a chair next to the conference table and asked, "Seven Star Group, Southern European Wolf Clan, what are those?"
Aside from the Onmyoji family, the other two names sounded like extraordinary forces, but were completely unfamiliar to him.
Could there be other masters in this world whom I don't know about?
He might not have cared in the past, but the more he learned about the Age of Gods, the more awe he felt for the powerful figures of that era.
Xia Li obediently poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "They are all second-rate forces in the psychic world. The entire psychic world is insignificant to you, so it's normal that you haven't heard of these minor forces."
Since you're curious, sir, I'll tell you about it—
There is a psychic realm in this world.
Jiang Chaosheng and the other members of the Forbidden Society knew very little about this because the Forbidden Society and the psionic world were not on the same level at all.
Moreover, the so-called psychic realm is not like the era of gods, where mortals obtain extraordinary power through their own cultivation.
All the forces and individuals in the psychic world became extraordinary because of forbidden things.
The Taiping Dao and the Dark Council are the top powers in the psychic world.
Under these two forces are the Onmyoji family of Dongying, the Seven Star Group of South Korea, and the Nordic wolf clan.
In reality, these three forces are at best abnormal infected individuals of forbidden objects.
The Onmyoji family needs no introduction.
Although Seimei Misawa is dead, even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily.
The family also includes a priestess and a divine servant.
Although they had no forbidden items, they were all enlightened by the successive generations of Onmyoji who possessed the power of the nine-tailed fox and learned magic.
However, those spells were too rudimentary, and in Helian's eyes, they were like children playing house.
The origins of the Southern European wolf pack can be traced back to an unusual event in the 1760s.
A farmer once transformed into a giant werewolf and slaughtered several villages in Northern Europe.
After the farmer disappeared, the werewolf family appeared.
The descendants cannot become giant werewolves, but they still retain the power to transform into werewolves.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaosheng understood that it was a forbidden object that Li Qinglian had taken in, called "Ancestral Tooth".
The Ancestral Fang can transform humans into giant werewolves, and their combat power increases several times over on the night of a full moon.
Although it was later taken in by Li Qinglian, it left behind a rare werewolf virus in Southern Europe.
People infected with the virus will become werewolves with strength and speed far exceeding human limits, but that's all; their combat power is probably not even comparable to that of a messenger from hell.
Moreover, the virus will gradually disappear as it is diluted in the blood of each generation.
Xia Li continued, "The strongest is the South Korean Seven Star Group."
A mysterious virus once broke out in Busan, South Korea. After the virus ended, the top executives of the Chilseong Group gained the power to be immune to pain, serious injury, and plague.
The Seven Stars Group may not have exceptional combat capabilities, but they are one of the world's top conglomerates.
It ranks among the top 500 companies in the world, with its main businesses being automobiles and mobile phones. In South Korea, it even holds a position that can influence the royal family.
Jiang Chaosheng could probably guess what was going on.
This is related to the Goddess of Light of the Way of Peace, or more precisely, to the Goddess of Light's Corpse King Armor.
Although Niulang contained the Corpse King's armor for the Goddess of Light, the zombie virus still remained in Axe Mountain.
It seems that the Seven Stars Group has collected those viruses.
However, this weak virus can only turn people into rational zombies; it's not something that can be considered a serious threat.
Shirley sat in her chair and continued with a smile, "There are also some even more low-class psionic individuals."
Their ability is—to remain energetic even after three days without food;
You only need to sleep for one hour in short bursts each day;
It can release a weak current;
Never forget.
More than a decade ago, the government even produced a program called "Approaching Science" to learn about these people.
Later, it was discovered that they posed no threat to the country and had no value, so the matter was dropped.
Only a few individuals from the psychic realm with photographic memories were recruited by the Xia Kingdom and given intensive training as scientific talents.
She stroked the enhancement potion on the table, her tone gradually turning somber: "As the World Dream Group develops faster and faster, the Seven Star Group, the Onmyoji Family, and the Wolf Clan have begun to impose some sanctions on us."
I'm very busy. Whether it's the Divine Peptide Lab or the search for the Gates of Hell, it keeps me and my shareholders extremely busy, and we're too lazy to deal with them.
The power of the world dream itself is insufficient to deal with them—their wealth and global status far exceed the power of the world dream.
She chuckled and shook her head, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "The only one dealing with them is one of my shareholders."
Even though he was just one shareholder, it had already aroused their apprehension.
In their eyes, my shareholder was already a super expert.
They speculated that the Xia family had done that shareholder a favor, which was why he remained loyal to the World Dream conglomerate and protected this ordinary woman.
These three psionic forces have extended olive branches to my shareholder countless times.
At this point, Xia Li suddenly chuckled awkwardly, "The gentleman must have come for something. Look at me, I've unknowingly said too much useless stuff."
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "It's quite interesting."
Who would have thought that just two years ago, I was just a nobody?
If he had heard back then that the Seven Stars Group could turn people into zombies, he would have exclaimed "Awesome!"
Now, looking down on these stories from a higher perspective, I just think, "They're quite interesting."
He put down his teacup and said, "I have located the Gates of Hell in the Mariana Trench."
Do you have any information about that place?
Shirley's eyes narrowed: "It really is the Mariana Trench."
Jiang Chaosheng looked at her in surprise: "You've already found it?"
Shirley pulled a map from her pocket and spread it out in front of him: "Based on the research of the scientific expedition team, the Mariana Islands are very likely to be the location of the Gates of Hell."
I have already asked one of my shareholders to conduct the investigation and analysis.
I personally suspect it's in the Mariana Trench, so I focused my exploration there.
We've finalized a few points; here they are.
Jiang Chaosheng glanced down at the map. Several locations were marked on it.
He looked up at Shirley, his eyes filled with approval: "Very good."
This helped him a lot—the Mariana Trench was too big; he couldn't possibly search it inch by inch.
Shirley blinked. "Sir, are we going to the Gates of Hell?"
Jiang Chaosheng nodded and stood up: "Yes, time is of the essence."
He did not tell the members of the Taboo Society that Hell was going to attack the human world on the seventeenth.
Their power is too weak compared to the entirety of Hell; they may not be of any help and could even cause unnecessary panic.
If you can block or control that door, you can nip this crisis in the bud.
Shirley's eyes held happiness, but also a hint of disappointment.
She had been searching for the Gates of Hell for so long with great anticipation, but had not found its exact location.
Actually, she still wanted to witness this miracle with her own eyes.
Jiang Chaosheng noticed the hint of disappointment in Xia Li's eyes. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Want to come along? To embrace the fruits of your labor?"
Shirley was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Is that okay?"
Xia Li said this, but fearing that Jiang Chaosheng might change his mind, she quickly got up and said, "I'll go book the plane tickets right away."
It's like a little girl who's afraid her father will change his mind and not take her to the amusement park.
Jiang Chaosheng chuckled and shook his head: "No need for that."
Xia Li stopped in her tracks, blinked at Jiang Chaosheng, and looked at him with some confusion in her beautiful eyes.
Jiang Chaosheng looked out the window.
The next second, the third eye suddenly opened, and the surging purple divine power transformed into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, dark clouds gathered and a torrential downpour began.
This was the first time Xia Li had seen Jiang Chaosheng in action, and her eyes were filled with shock.
Jiang Chaosheng grabbed Xia Li's hand, his body transformed into a purple streak of light, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the clouds.
