Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

After hearing this news, Wen Yu's first reaction was that it was some kind of incident caused by a divine beast species.

However, this absolutely did not make sense logically. The way divine beast species gathered their subordinates had always relied on their innate majesty to coerce ordinary mutated beasts, forcing them to come together. This method was completely worlds apart from the oceanic tribe mentioned by Tang Haofei, which aimed to establish a slave state!

No matter how strong the divine beast species was, it ultimately still belonged to the realm of beasts. Establishing a nation was different—it meant that moral laws had begun to take shape, or at least there were the beginnings of such structures!

Wildness existed in every type of animal, including humans...

But moral laws—or what could be called rules—were the crucial markers that distinguished wild beasts from intelligent life, especially in the context of the significantly enhanced intelligence of mutated beasts.

Upon hearing Wen Yu's doubts, Tang Haofei smiled wryly.

“In fact, there isn't much difference in timing; this kind of thing happened in my previous life as well, I just wasn't personally involved. The time of diplomatic relations between the Sea King and humanity was much earlier…”

This was what they called the butterfly effect.

Yet, Tang Haofei still did not give a straightforward answer to Wen Yu's question.

Taking a sip of water, Tang Haofei met Wen Yu's puzzled gaze and slowly explained, “The Sea King is not a divine beast species; it’s just an ordinary sea beast!”

…

“In the previous life, humanity also conducted targeted research on the Sea King, concluding that it possessed an auxiliary foundation-level skill—let's temporarily call it awakening intelligence…”

“Its function is to significantly enhance the intelligence of its kin…”

“So, with the Sea King at its core, the vast oceanic tribe centered around it has already formed; it was inevitable. In fact, in my previous life, the kingdom established by the Sea King—the Deep Blue Empire—was the most powerful force on Earth!”

The two fell silent for a while, and Wen Yu sighed.

“If it's a foundation-level skill, then it might be possible…”

After that, there was another long silence.

Wen Yu felt completely at a loss regarding the current situation, and Tang Haofei couldn't come up with a good solution either—the Deep Blue Empire was an important part of Earth's forces. Given everything Tang Haofei had experienced in his previous life, the method of excluding dissenters just wouldn’t work for him; even if it could, it might not necessarily lead to victory!

Only half a year after the apocalypse, the situation Wen Yu had once worried about had already come true.

The human race faced not only the pressure of demonic creatures but also the threat from Earth's life forms...

The dominant status...

Perhaps from the very moment the apocalypse arrived...

It was already lost...

…

After a while, Wen Yu broke the silence.

“So, this time you are effectively going to the Deep Blue Empire in the capacity of a peace messenger?”

Regarding the oceanic tribe, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei couldn't come to a solid conclusion, so Wen Yu decisively shifted the topic to their current situation.

Tang Haofei nodded.

“The gathering place in Beijing is temporarily entrusted to you.”

“What do I need to do?”

Tang Haofei winked at Wen Yu.

“Act as a mascot; of course, there may be some fighting in the early stages.”

…

The statuses of Wen Yu and Tang Haofei could already be considered as nuclear weapons for the human race.

What is a nuclear weapon?

In regular battles, they couldn’t be moved and were merely ornamental; their greatest usefulness lay in deterring enemy forces.

So, the term mascot was indeed quite fitting...

Seeing Wen Yu sitting on the sofa with a furrowed brow, Tang Haofei patted Wen Yu's shoulder.

“Don't worry; it's very simple. Sequence Six Fran will assist you.”
