Chapter 1542: Chapter 1541: Detestable Earthling
The young man who gave himself the human name Ding Haotian couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
"Truly overestimating oneself."
"Send out a notification, closely monitor this human’s actions, and transmit everything to me in real-time."
"Yes."
The guard outside, using some unknown high-tech device, casually waved his hand, and a square monitor appeared in this white world. In the center of that white world, an image appeared.
Ye Wenjun widened her eyes and saw the person in the image. Who else could it be but her husband?
At this moment, Fang Yu was walking step by step on a white staircase.
It was obvious.
Fang Yu’s movements were not as relaxed and free as in human society. By the time he reached the 150th step, he seemed to be walking like an ordinary person, as if he wasn’t using Primordial Qi, facing significant resistance.
Ye Wenjun was very familiar with this kind of resistance. The difficulty reminded her of the place where she cultivated, where the substantial resistance was like sand, filling the entire space.
The power of Primordial Qi couldn’t remove this resistance, and it could only rely on the strength of the body.
But what Ye Wenjun didn’t expect was that Fang Yu’s physical strength had reached this level.
The fact that he could walk from the Secret Realm passage to the Heavenly Stepping Ladder proved that his strength had surpassed the limits of humans.
Much stronger than Ye Wenjun herself.
Ye Wenjun was mostly moved; only her own man would be so unwavering, daring to come here to find her.
Ye Wenjun watched every move in the image, afraid he might get hurt.
Beside her, Ding Haotian seemed to notice Ye Wenjun’s worry, and a nonchalant smile appeared on his face as he said, "Don’t worry, our Red County Star Domain is a place of principles. Our Divine Race never attacks someone climbing the Heavenly Ladder without reason, no matter what creature they are, even if it’s the lowliest ant or reptile, they receive our respect."
"Your Divine Race speaks of respect?"
"Of course. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the right to negotiate with me here. If I didn’t respect you, I could have forced you to marry me long ago, as you humans would say," Ding Haotian said with great confidence, even feeling proud of the respect he could show.
Ye Wenjun sneered.
"Your Divine Race is really the most shameless race I’ve ever seen, capable of such a level of hypocrisy; it’s truly ironic."
"Is that a compliment? If it is, then thank you!"
Ye Wenjun snorted coldly and turned her focus back to the square display broadcasting the image. She didn’t know what kind of high-tech device it was, but it was certainly beyond Earth’s technological civilization.
Even the Flower Domain, such a space, and Wanxian City, an advanced cultivation space beyond humanity, didn’t have such technological civilization.
This was truly an era where technology and cultivation coexisted and flourished.
At that moment, Ding Haotian noticed that the young man in the image, Fang Yu, had already surpassed the 200th step.
This surprised him, as ordinary Divine Race members found this challenging, typically only lower-level Divine Race members managed around the 150th step.
This change caught the attention of the pig monitoring the Heavenly Stepping Ladder.
Before long, a mature-looking man arrived.
The man glanced at Ye Wenjun in the white world without saying much, then turned to the young Ding Haotian and said, "Young Master Ding, you also know about the human on the Heavenly Ladder."
"Steward Jiang, weren’t you monitoring near the Heavenly Ladder? Why come here?"
"The higher-ups sent me over. They said this human is peculiar and needs to be captured, and this woman needs to be sent to the research center for study."
"Study?"
"The civilization detection report is already out. Humanity has reached the sixth generation. The fifth-generation civilization couldn’t cultivate, but the sixth generation can and is rapidly developing. Now it has the aura of the Divine Race. Based on the Grand Universe Evolution Law, Earth can grasp the abilities of the Divine Race in another million years or even surpass them."
A million years?
This span of time was unimaginable for previous humans, but contemporary humans could now achieve such long lifespans, so a million years wasn’t that long.
It’s worth noting that the Red County Star Domain last visited Earth’s civilization 300 million years ago. During these 31 years, minor detectors occasionally checked nearby civilizations’ progress. At that last check, humans were still weak, but who would have thought they could develop so quickly?
This greatly surprised Ding Haotian.
However, taking the woman in front of him seemed less appealing to Ding Haotian.
"Tell the higher-ups I’m keeping this woman. Her genes are good, with a Nirvana Rebirth ability, and I can sense she has abundant optimism. If our genes were combined, our Divine Race’s descendants would be even better."
Hearing this, Steward Jiang awkwardly smiled.
"Young Master Ding, this matter is significant. You must report it to the higher-ups and apply for approval before marrying an outsider. Genetic combinations can degrade the Divine Race, so caution is necessary."
"You doubt my judgment? If I say her genes are suitable, they are. Besides, she’s precisely the kind of woman I fancy, and I’ve never met a woman who moved me. This Earth woman—I want her, and anyone who blocks me, I’ll kill."
Hearing this, Steward Jiang’s face changed, thinking these words bordered on rebellion.
"Young Master Ding, never say that again. If outsiders heard, it would be a severe crime. Besides, the Genetic Administration Bureau holds absolute power. I know you’re General Ding’s descendant, but we can’t make this decision ourselves."
Ding Haotian grew irritated, waving his hand to stop further discussion.
"Is that why you came to me?"
"Young Master Ding, this is important, please reconsider. As for that Earthling on the Heavenly Ladder, we must capture him."
"Capture him, but not now."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to see how far humans from Earth can go on the Heavenly Ladder. It’s also a chance to understand the extent of human cultivators."
"Hmm, as Young Master Ding suggests, we’ll wait and see."
Their conversation reached Ye Wenjun’s ears, seemingly unafraid of her reporting them.
Calmly, Ding Haotian looked at Ye Wenjun and said, "I know what you’re thinking. In our Red County Star Domain, there are no secrets, because as long as we wish, we can use the Divine Race’s power to erase your memory or extract any information from your mind."
Ye Wenjun was horrified, realizing the Red County Star Domain’s Divine Race had such individuals.
"Still, care for that poor Earthling. I bet he won’t surpass the 300th step."
