Book 07 Chapter 062: Qian Nation Conglomerate

Immortal world, Earth:

Many people rushed in and out of a towering building, holding all sorts of diagrams and discussing something.

“The chairman designated this as the top priority. You must give me the design of the machinery hold’s self-sustaining system for the vacuum of outer space.”

“The Positron Blaster Cannon’s design is complete. We are preparing to test it!”

“The GN Particles will affect the upgrade of the ion cannon. We have to figure it out quickly! You are not receiving the Qian Nation Conglomerate’s salary to take holidays! We are working overtime tonight!”

“The chairman said that after we figured out the final ten problems in Mobile Suit 101, he would reward us with a ginseng fruit each. Dean Zhang, do your best!”

[TL Note: Most of the above references are from the Gundam series.]

Many motivated researchers rushed in and out.

There were countless researchers in the many buildings, analyzing, studying, and researching various problems in science.

At the very front of all these buildings was a reception hall with a signboard that read “Qian Nation Conglomerate” and “Heavenly Court Pavilion.”

Two pretty ladies manned the Heavenly Court Pavilion’s reception. Just a smile from them could entrance countless men. Nearly all the researchers who walked past the reception desk could not help taking a second look. Even old men with white hair would find looking at the two ladies pleasant, improving their mood.

However, everyone understood no one could mess around in the Qian Nation Conglomerate, no matter who it was. Previously, a man called Marshal Canopy wanted to flirt with the two receptionists but had his leg broken and got tossed out. In the end, a few deities came to offer compensation, and the matter passed only after many enchanted treasures changed hands.

[TL Note: Marshal Canopy was a member of the Chinese pantheon in Chinese legends. He was the previous life of Zhu Bajie, or Pigsy, in Journey to the West. Marshal Canopy had been punished with banishment to Earth because of drunken misbehavior, attempting to seduce the goddess of the moon. Unfortunately, Zhu Bajie did not change his ways after becoming a pig spirit on Earth. He eventually became Sun Wukong’s second junior brother.]

The two receptionists handled some work with a smile before relaxing slightly.

“Our company’s chairman is truly incredible. The Qian Nation Conglomerate has been established for only a while, and it is already developing space tech?”

“Indeed. If this were the previous Earth, all these would be mind-boggling. The chairman managed to poach many talents.”

“He is rich, capable, holds authority, and has a wide network. Except for not being very handsome, he is practically perfect.”

“What is the point of a handsome man? I feel like vomiting when I look at those famous actors and singers. Compared to the chairman, they are all useless. Look at the chairman; that is a true man. Every time he walks past, I feel like even all the men in the world added together cannot compare to his finger.”

“Indeed. If only I could marry the chairman!”

The two ladies gulped in yearning.

“Stop dreaming and just do your job well. Do you think you can reach the chairman?” An even more beautiful woman walked over at this moment.

“Ah! Secretary Wang!” The two ladies immediately felt flustered.

The chairman’s secretary had arrived. She smiled faintly at the two ladies; she also had the same dream as the two and even hoped the chairman would be interested in these two. If he were, it would mean that the chairman was interested in women and that she stood a chance.

Unfortunately, the chairman was busy with work all day and had no time for romance. This made Secretary Wang feel depressed and awed.

“Did anyone or any deity come to cause trouble recently?” Secretary Wang asked.

“How can that happen? After Marshal Canopy got beaten up the last time, who would dare?” one of the receptionists replied with a smile.

As the three women chatted, a furious roar came from outside Heavenly Court City.

“No!”

A black hole appeared out of nowhere outside Heavenly Court Pavilion and vomited a monster that crashed into the building.

Rumble…!

Heavenly Court Pavilion shook.

“Who is it? How audacious!”

“How dare you cause trouble at the Qian Nation Conglomerate?!”

“Security! Security!”

…

Chaos broke out outside Heavenly Court Pavilion as many security guards rushed over.

“Scram! Scram! Where is this?! We want to go back!” the monster outside roared furiously.

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

That monster sent the security guards flying back.

“Quickly, call the security section’s chief, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li!”

“Quickly, call team one’s captain, Third Crown Prince Nezha!”

“Quickly, call team three’s captain, Deity Erlang!”

The vicinity of Heavenly Court Pavilion fell into chaos.

When the monster arrived, it knocked the security guards into the air one after another.

A security guard rushed over. “Secretary Wang, this is bad. Even Third Crown Prince Nezha got knocked back. What should we do?”

“Secretary Wang, what should we do?” the two receptionists asked, trembling in fear.

They had never seen such a powerful monster before.

Secretary Wang looked outside.

That monster seemed obsessed with that black hole, crashing into it continuously. However, that monster could not enter and became anxious.

The surrounding security guards could not stop him, and many people got injured.

“Should we report this to the chairman?” one of the receptionists asked.

“There’s no need. The chairman has many things to do. How could he have time to deal with this brute?” Secretary Wang said anxiously.

“What should we do?” a receptionist asked anxiously.

“Indeed, this monster is too powerful! Ah! Look! That monster sent Deity Erlang flying with a punch! What should we do?” the other receptionist asked anxiously.

Just then, an elevator arrived on the first floor.

Ding!

A melodious sound came from the elevator as the doors opened.

“Chairman!”

“Chairman!”

“Chairman!”

…

Pleasant surprise appeared on the faces of everyone rushing around. Then they bowed incredibly respectfully.

It was Long Zhanguo, wearing a suit with a bowtie and a black coat as he walked out of the elevator. Several stern-faced subordinates followed behind him.

Secretary Wang’s eyes lit up as she went over. “Chairman, a spacetime tunnel appeared outside Heavenly Court Pavilion, and a monster flew out. That monster should be a zombie—an especially high-level one. The people from the security section cannot stop him!”

Long Zhanguo nodded, then walked over.

The moment Long Zhanguo appeared, everyone stopped panicking. This was faith in him. Who knew where this faith came from, but as long as he appeared, it felt like all problems could be solved.

The reception hall quieted. Besides the sounds from the battle outside, only the footfalls of Long Zhanguo’s leather shoes on the floor remained.

“How suave!” One of the receptionist’s eyes sparkled.

“Indeed. The chairman is the most awesome. If only I could become his lover!” The other receptionist already felt horny for Long Zhanguo.

Secretary Wang followed behind, exiting the hall with Long Zhanguo.

“Chairman!” Everyone who saw Long Zhanguo bowed respectfully.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li used a pagoda to suppress the monster in the distance.

“Get lost!”

The monster punched and knocked the pagoda away. The powerful impact sent Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li flying towards Long Zhanguo.

“Argh!”

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li let out a miserable cry, thinking he would end up destroying the reception hall.

Bang!

The black-suited subordinates behind Long Zhanguo immediately soared into the sky and caught Heavenly King Li.

“Chairman, this monster is too ferocious. I…I…” Heavenly King Li showed a bitter smile, clearly helpless to defeat the monster.

Long Zhanguo nodded as he looked at the monster in the sky.

Everyone was silent, waiting for Long Zhanguo to speak.

“If anyone gets in our way again, we will kill you all, not sparing anyone! Die!” the monster roared, and a powerful aura burst out of him.

Everyone’s expression changed.

However, Long Zhanguo said indifferently, “Who do you want to kill?”

This monster was Long Shenwu, whom Gu Hai kicked through the passageway between the two immortal firmaments. He had wanted to push Long Shenying in but had gotten sneak-attacked.

Although he did not know where this place was, he wanted to return. Yet, these weaklings wanted to stop him?

Long Shenwu was enraged, deciding to kill anyone who got in his way.

Indeed, there was a reckless person who dared to ask “who do you want to kill?”

Long Shenwu was fuming, radiating an intense murderous intent as he turned his head to look.

Boom!

Long Shenwu directed the murderous intent at Long Zhanguo.

“Protect the chairman!” the subordinates immediately cried out.

However, Long Zhanguo waved his hand. Everyone looked at Long Shenwu anxiously.

Long Shenwu radiated murderous intent, looking at the person who challenged him. However, he found this voice very familiar—and it inspired an instinctive fear in him.

Buzz!

Long Shenwu took a closer look and trembled. His murderous intent immediately vanished as he goggled in horror at Long Zhanguo, who was in strange attire.

“No! No! This is impossible!” Long Shenwu exclaimed with some panic on his face.

Secretary Wang and the others looked at that monster in shock.

“The chairman is incredible! Even Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li could not stop that monster, but when that monster saw the chairman, that monster got scared witless!” a receptionist said in shock.

“The chairman is incredible! I want to give him children,” the other receptionist muttered excitedly.

Then Long Zhanguo stepped forward.

“Shenwu, did Gu Hai send you here?” Long Zhanguo asked.

“I…”

“Look at what you have become while I was not around. A zombie progeny? Neither human nor ghost. After all that effort, you are only Jiangchen’s puppet. Your temper even grew fierier,” Long Zhanguo said sullenly.

“I-you-no-impossible! Didn’t you…” Long Shenwu was goggle-eyed in confusion. He wanted to deny this, but this was his father’s aura with no mistake. This was his father.

“Why are you flying so high? Why are you not coming down and seeing what you did? Look at all the chaos you caused!” Long Zhanguo said coldly with a frown.

“I-I…” Long Shenwu’s heart pounded as he landed, returning to human form.

Everyone stared, wide-eyed. That monster turned obedient with just a few words from the chairman?

Long Zhanguo walked over.

“Chairman, be careful!” A group of black-clad men immediately stepped forward.

“It’s alright. It’s fine,” Long Zhanguo said indifferently.

The black-clad men still worried, tightly guarding Long Zhanguo.

However, Long Zhanguo did not think much of it as he walked to Long Shenwu.

Long Shenwu’s eyes were clouded with uncertainty. He felt ecstatic, shocked, frightened, and horrified.

Long Zhanguo looked at Long Shenwu and frowned slightly. “I had discussed this with Gu Hai, but he still sent you over. It looks like you went overboard. Alright, just follow me after this.”

Long Shenwu looked at Long Zhanguo’s concerned gaze. Suddenly, he teared up. It’s true! It’s true! It really is Long Zhanguo!

Thud! Long Shenwu suddenly knelt with bloodshot eyes.

He knelt?!

Everyone in the surroundings goggled. Nezhe rubbed his wounds as he looked at Deity Erlang. “Am I seeing wrong? He knelt? Who is this monster?”

“Father, this child has been unfilial!” Long Shenwu said on his knees.

“Father?”

“The chairman’s son?”

“The chairman has a son?”

…

Everyone in the surroundings exclaimed in shock. The two receptionists’ and Secretary Wang’s gaping mouths formed perfect circles.

Long Zhanguo looked at Long Shenwu wordlessly, then paced to the black hole and stopped in front of it.

At the passageway connecting the two immortal firmaments, there seemed to be a transparent barrier blocking the two sides.

However, Long Zhanguo saw two figures through that transparent barrier. One was Gu Hai, and the other was Long Shenying in zombie form.

“Gu Hai? You sent Shenwu over?” Long Zhanguo said in confusion, frowning.

Long Shenying gaped, unable to close his mouth.

“Impossible! Impossible!” Long Shenying roared, wide-eyed.

“Zombie? Shenying, I told you before. You can cultivate Jiangchen’s body, but you should not become a zombie progeny. You did not cultivate your Corpse Energy yourself. Are you planning on becoming Jiangchen’s puppet?” Long Zhanguo said coldly.

Long Shenying trembled.
