Chapter 1142: Sharing Information
Hong Tianqi shook his head to dispel the image. "Let's return to the topic at hand. What are these superior worlds of antiquity like?"
"Argh, this is frustrating."
Hong Tianqi scowled. "This is precious information and research material! Please, be more serious."
Zhang Lie felt fatigued just thinking about describing all the superior worlds of antiquity—not just one or two, but rather all nine. After a moment, he suggested, "I think I should call the members of Team Zenith over."
"Why?" Hong Tianqi didn't understand the reason behind Zhang Lie's suggestion.
Zhang Lie explained, "If this is as important as you claim, then the members of Team Zenith should tell you about their firsthand experience instead. After all, they participated in the counterattack, and they're familiar with the details of these superior worlds, the combat strength of the superior kings of antiquity, and all sorts of miscellanea."
Hong Tianqi seemed a little dubious. "Indeed?"
Zhang Lie nodded. "I only took care of four of the superior kings. They're far more knowledgeable than I am about the world of blazing sun and the white world."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHong Tianqi couldn't help but sigh. "To think that all of you competitors to the Void Throne have come so far..."
Zhang Lie continued, "I'll call the members of Team Zenith over and let you know when they're ready."
Hong Tianqi nodded. "Very well. It's been quite a while since I last saw them."
Having more sources of information could only be a good thing. Although only the world of primordial chaos remained, Zhang Lie had mentioned that there were newly evolved superior worlds. Analyzing the superior worlds of the past was equivalent to analyzing the superior worlds of the future.
After Zhang Lie hung up, he returned to the draconian world, where he assembled the members of Team Zenith.
Zhang Hanxiang asked, "Brother, you're back! How was the discussion with Authority Hong?"
Zhang Lie replied, "Hong Tianqi wanted to know about the various superior worlds of antiquity."
Zhang Hanxiang continued, "So you're preparing that information now?"
"There's no such information available in the third realm—or rather, there might have been, but the superior worlds of antiquity have kept it all locked up for themselves."
As for the Zongming king, he had just recently ascended, and what he knew was completely a subset of what Zhang Lie knew.
Before the ascension, Li Zongming had only known that superior worlds existed in the third realm and were immensely strong existences—and that was it.
The superior worlds were so far beyond the rest of the worlds of the third realm that none of the worlds knew much about them until the war against the death spirits began in earnest. To the superior worlds of antiquity, the other worlds might as well have been ants.
"Compiling a database isn't a bad suggestion..." Perhaps he should let the members of Team Zenith submit a report to Hong Tianqi—but no, they didn't know anything about the xuluo world or the world of black fog.
By the time they learned of superior worlds, the xuluo world had already been destroyed. In the end, Zhang Lie would have to be the one volunteering all that information.
Zhang Lie shook his head. "The superior worlds of antiquity have all been destroyed, and the world of primordial chaos is likely the only one that still has detailed records. The Zongming world has recently ascended and might have some records, but the Zongming king wouldn't know more than me or the members of Team Zenith."
Zhang Lie was akin to a walking encyclopedia in the third realm, and there was very little he didn't know about.
"Even I don't know the king of chaos' limits—he's as chaotic as his name. He's neither good nor evil, and he acts according to his whims. Who knows what he'd ask for in exchange for all that information?"
The king of chaos was undoubtedly the entity with the most detailed records of the third realm. The king of chaos had existed since antiquity, and only the most ancient king, the king of keys.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe king of chaos knew many of the secrets of the third realm, and even what the third realm had been like before it developed into its current fragmented state. If Zhang Lie was a walking encyclopedia, then the king of chaos was like a living tome of history.
However, no one wanted to ask the king of chaos anything. The king of chaos operated on a principle of chaos, on whimsy. No one knew where his interests lay, which made him particularly difficult to predict, analyze, and understand.
It was possible to negotiate with just about anyone else, but the king of chaos was different. It seemed that all he did was calculated to make the three thousand worlds even more chaotic, so that he could watch on and enjoy the show.
Given his strength, however, it would be far too easy for him to mess up the three thousand worlds, but he hadn't done so. Zhang Lie didn't understand the principles by which he operated at all.
He pointed at his head. "Even if I'm not the king of chaos, I still know quite a bit about the superior worlds that have been destroyed. They're all in here." He tapped his brain.
Zhang Hanxiang asked, "Then why call on Sun Mengmeng and the others?"
"For more detailed information."
Zhang Lie naturally didn't want to admit that he wasn't interested in producing all that information, and it was true that the members of Team Zenith knew more details bout their respective worlds than he did.
Zhang Lie asked, "How's Qianlin?"
Zhang Hanxiang rolled her eyes. "You've been gone for less than a day! Do you really think she pines for you day and night? She's having fun with Zhu on the farm. Do you want me to call her over?"
Zhang Lie hurriedly shook his head. "No, there's no need. I'll be leaving after I summon the members of Team Zenith."
