Chapter 158 – The Name 'Silin City'

While Su Hao was busy with Little Round Mouse during these two moons, Linyuan City’s four major gangs had also been reduced to three.

They were the ‘Four Kings Gang’, the ‘Paradise Gang’, and the one-man gang, the ‘Yuan Gang’.

The leader of the Paradise Gang, Kana, was a single woman of considerable age. Her gang members were almost all peculiar women who spent their days within the Paradise Gang’s fortress. Lighthearted and joyful sounds often emanated from within, but no one knew what they were doing inside, and outsiders dared not intrude.

Don’t underestimate the Paradise Gang just because it’s composed of women. Their territory was small mainly because their leader, Kana, had no interest in ruling or conquering. She was content with her own domain and couldn’t be bothered to manage things as long as others didn’t provoke them or encroach on their interests.

Kana’s interest was women!

As for the ‘Yuan Gang’, it was less of a gang and more like the [Primordial Monarch] Yuan occupying a region alone. He also had no interest in expanding outwards, preferring to engage in peculiar activities.

No one dared to provoke him.

Because no one knew where his true body was, or perhaps, were all those dull and strange individuals the true bodies of the [Primordial Monarch] Yuan?

Since the ‘Paradise Gang’ and the ‘Yuan Gang’ were uninterested in dominating Linyuan City, the remaining ‘Four Kings Gang’ became the behemoth of Linyuan City, controlling almost all of its territory.

Without the ‘Sky Sand Gang’ to counterbalance them, the ‘Four Kings Gang’ achieved breakthroughs in both aspects.

First, in terms of gang size, and second, in absolute strength.

After consuming Stan’s flesh and blood, [Sky King] Ka Si became Linyuan City’s new [Sky Lord].

Linyuan City, Four Kings Gang Round Table Meeting.

Gai Li, Ka Si, Xiao Tong, and A Shi sat around the table.

They heartily laughed, sharing their recent spoils, all appearing extremely excited. Of course, A Shi was an exception; he just sat silently, listening to the other three boast.

Xiao Tong suddenly changed the subject: ‘Recently, many small gangs and factions have been restless, wanting to seize territory during the chaos! Our forces can’t cover all areas, which is a headache!’

Gai Li waved his hand dismissively: ‘A minor issue. Just select eight individuals, promote them to King-level, and deploy them to various regions to handle matters independently.’

Xiao Tong frowned, remaining silent, seemingly considering the feasibility.

Gai Li knew her concerns and laughed: ‘Xiao Tong, don’t overthink it. Ka Si has our back; he’s a Level Six [Sky Lord], incredibly powerful!’

Ka Si puffed up with pride and ruffled his short hair.

Gai Li continued: ‘I understand your worries! But trust me!’

The ancient Zhu Huo People also had a unified dynasty.

But long ago, after a powerful dynasty was destroyed by internal consumption and strife, no large-scale force capable of ruling the world had ever emerged again.

Because since that time, trust between Evolved Humans has been difficult to establish.

Gai Li extended his palm, placing it on the table, and said: “Everyone knows what we need to do in the future, and you should also know that we can’t achieve it on our own. We need more partners with the same Objectives!”

But what Gai Li didn’t know was that for their ‘Four Kings Gang’ to expand, even with ‘trust,’ it still wouldn’t be enough!

In the history of the Zhu Huo People, countless powerful Evolved Humans have tried various methods to unify the world and stop the endless devouring and killing, but without exception, they all failed in the end. They weren’t defeated externally, but collapsed internally.

If the core problem isn’t solved, this matter will never succeed.

After some casual chat, Xiao Tong said again: “Gai Li, there’s another issue. How should we treat Wei, who is suspected to be a Level Seven Evolved Human?”

Gai Li laughed heartily: “As a friend!”

Xiao Tong frowned and said: “It’s fine for us to treat him as a friend, but he might not necessarily treat us as friends!”

Gai Li smiled inexplicably: “Xiao Tong, does it matter to me if I treat him as a friend, and he doesn’t treat us as friends? It doesn’t, right? As long as I treat him as a friend, no matter how strong he is, can he come and attack me? For example, I treat you as a friend, would you really stab me a couple of times?”

Gai Li said confidently: “I don’t know about others, but I can tell that Wei is a person who values principles. As long as you maintain a certain distance when interacting with him, there won’t be any problems!”

Xiao Tong and the others agreed with this. Because if there’s one thing Gai Li is good at, besides other abilities, it’s his ability to read people, which is the best they’ve ever seen. Crucially, he can perfectly exploit people’s psychological weaknesses.

Xiao Tong said worriedly again: “I don’t know who leaked Wei’s information, but it’s rumored almost throughout Linyuan City that Wei instantly killed [Sky Lord] Stan. The story is getting more and more exaggerated, with some even saying they want to leave Linyuan City and seek Wei’s protection in Silin City…”

Gai Li laughed sheepishly: “Ah, that… I accidentally let it slip! Hahaha!”

Xiao Tong immediately jumped up and hit Gai Li: “You’re still laughing! What if Wei finds out and comes back to cause trouble for us?”

Gai Li chuckled: “He won’t, don’t worry!”

Ka Si quietly asked: “Just how powerful is Wei?”

Gai Li said indifferently: “When I shook his hand, the information I got was that he has the ability to instantly destroy the entire Linyuan City!”

The other three, including A Shi, slowly opened their mouths as if they could fit ten eggs inside.

Ka Si’s pride in his evolution was instantly crushed. He said in disbelief: “Gai Li, you’re not joking, are you? How is that possible? Even the legendary [Gods] couldn’t do that! Could he be a [God]?”

Gai Li scratched his head and laughed heartily: “I didn’t believe it at first either, but Wei really had that kind of Thought-power back then! I was startled too! Also, stop dreaming, Ka Si, [Gods] don’t exist! They’re just a lie!”

“Perhaps Wei is the one prophesied to bring change. Because under normal circumstances, it’s impossible for such a young Level Seven Evolved Human to be born. Since he was born, it signifies his extraordinariness. Besides, even if we’re wrong, it doesn’t matter, right?”

…

In Linyuan City, people on the streets and in the alleys were all talking about the destruction of the ‘Sky Sand Gang.’ In the eyes of many, the Sky Sand Gang was not just an ordinary gang; it represented the nearly top-tier power in this world. Yet, a gang with such power was annihilated overnight.

The sensationalism of this event was no less than the destruction of a small country.

And the most discussed phrase was ‘Wei of Silin City.’ Almost everyone knew that the culprit behind the ‘destruction of the Sky Sand Gang’ was ‘Wei of Silin City.’

This news slowly spread to all the big and small cities around Linyuan City, and to the settlements of the Zhu Huo People.

Silin City became famous, and Wei did too.

Everyone was very curious about this powerful Evolved Human who had never been heard of before, as he was able to instantly kill the almost Invincible [Sky Lord] Stan.

But Wei was very mysterious, and no one knew more about him. They only knew that Wei was from ‘Silin City’ and was very handsome, but there was no other accurate information.

So, many people with various intentions embarked on the road to Silin City.

This also made Silin City lively for the next few years, but very few people were able to meet the so-called ‘Silin City Wei’.

The reputation of ‘Silin City Wei’ was hot for a while within Linyuan City and its surrounding cities. After a long time, he was forgotten by people and became a legend!

Meanwhile, Su Hao, who was holed up in his Laboratory, was unaware that he had become incredibly famous. Since he didn’t show himself in time to maintain his popularity, he was eventually gradually forgotten by people.
