Chapter 718 Ye Dingjiang's Sincerity
Although he had some reservations about Ye Dingjiang's task assignment, Cang Nian readily agreed.
Firstly, since no one has any clue about the path beyond the fifth rank for the time being, the upper limit of all evolved creatures on Earth is now fixed, which is the fifth rank at its peak.
Among those of the same level, Cang Nian has never been afraid of anyone, not to mention that recently, the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom has cultivated another batch of fifth-level perfect experts under Tiger Sister's time-manipulation ability.
Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, Cangnian, Tiger Brother, Little Sable, Yichen, and Baijue have all broken through to the fifth level of perfection.
As for the Black King Serpent, it consumes more spiritual energy during cultivation than other evolved creatures and evolved beings. Although it was listed by Cangnian as a member to be given priority in the allocation of evolutionary resources, it has only managed to evolve to the late stage of the fifth rank so far.
However, with its terrifying size and immense strength, the Black King Serpent's combat power is even comparable to that of Tiger Dad, who has already reached the fifth rank of perfection. It can be said that it has not wasted its abundant evolutionary resources.
Therefore, with such a formidable lineup, Cangnian believed that as long as the evolutionary ceiling of life on Earth remained at the fifth level of perfection, the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom could easily overcome most situations.
Moreover, after staying in the capital for so long, Cang Nian was getting a little tired of it and decided to go out and see some scenery to get some fresh air.
Helping the capital complete the task of unifying the Dragon Kingdom is just a side job.
Of course, Cang Nian was too lazy to deal with those messy liaison matters. Ye Dingjiang planned to send a delegation to accompany them on the Ark.
The issue of force will be resolved by Cang Nian.
The delegation from the capital city will handle government affairs matters in a well-organized manner.
That's right, now the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom can board the Ark to carry out this mission!
Previously, because Professor Shen was conducting scientific research with Noah on the Ark, the capital's higher-ups completely forbade Cangnian from taking the Ark out of the capital.
However, now, on the one hand, Cangnian's strength is no longer something that the capital can restrain.
On the other hand, Cangnian's actions during this period, as well as his significant contributions to the people of the capital, have convinced the capital's high-ranking officials, led by Ye Dingjiang, of Cangnian's and the Dragon Palace Northeast Allied Army's firm stance.
Strong power and sufficient trust are the foundation for a lenient approach.
Therefore, this time, not only can they go on the Ark to carry out the mission, but even Professor Shen, who is more important than Ye Dingjiang in the capital, will not get off the Ark. They will set off together to continue his and Noah's scientific research progress.
Since Cang Nian would never harm Professor Shen and has the absolute strength to protect him, Professor Shen is safer on the Ark than in the capital.
To show his sincerity, Ye Dingjiang even recalled five senior experts who had served alongside Professor Shen.
Now, Professor Shen was extremely grateful to Cang Nian, if not deeply grateful.
Because these five senior experts had been inseparable from him every day. Although he was an old man and didn't feel ashamed, it was still quite uncomfortable to be watched every moment of his daily life.
Now, he can say that he is completely free and has never felt so relaxed!
"I don't know when I'll be back after this trip."
I'm going upstream along the Yangtze River to find survivor bases with large populations, while you're going along the coastline to find survivor bases in Guangzhou.
"Then I'll return the Imperial Seal to you half a month early, so you won't be unable to defeat the forces in Guangzhou. Consider it a bargain for you!"
As they prepared to set off, Cang Nian secretly found Ye Dingjiang, took out an ancient jade seal from the little sable's storage space, and said with a smirk.
He was even thinking of keeping the Imperial Seal of the State for himself and teaching Ye Dingjiang a lesson!
However, although he had some grudges against this old man, they were not life-or-death enemies; it was just a conflict caused by different values at the time.
There's no need to put him in danger over this issue.
"No need. The trip to Guangzhou doesn't necessarily need to involve fighting. Peaceful reunification is what everyone wants to see."
The power of the Imperial Seal is not necessarily much stronger than that of a fifth-tier perfect cultivator.
You can just take it. It just so happens that you're more likely to encounter more survivors on your Yangtze River trip than you would in Guangzhou.
I'll teach you how to activate it, and along the way you'll help me establish contact with the local survivors using the Imperial Seal.
"It's not too late to reconnect with the people at the Guangzhou survivor base after you return."
Ye Dingjiang was slightly surprised that Cangnian wanted to return the Imperial Seal of the State ahead of schedule, and then smiled.
"You old codger, you might die anytime soon, and I don't want to take over your mess."
"You can't still not have a plan for who will take over your job, can you?"
Cang Nian immediately shook his head vigorously at Ye Dingjiang's words.
After obtaining the Imperial Seal of the State, he studied it for a while.
What surprised him, but also made sense, was that among the Imperial Seal of the State, only Ye Dingjiang's "spirit" remained.
The method of using the magical artifacts obtained at Chanlan Temple made Cangnian very clear about their characteristics.
A magical artifact can leave behind the "spirit" of many people and can be used by multiple people.
Only unowned magical artifacts can retain their own "spirit" within them without any hindrance.
If anyone has left their "spirit" in a magical artifact and that person is still alive, then the artifact can only continue to be bound to that person with permission from the first person who left their "spirit" in the artifact.
Of course, if the difference in spiritual attributes between the two parties is too great, they can forcibly erase the "spirit" left by the other party in the magic weapon and take over the nest.
The fact that the Imperial Seal of the State is now only possessed by Ye Dingjiang indicates that Ye Dingjiang is not yet comfortable entrusting the Imperial Seal of the State to anyone else.
After his death, the "spirit" belonging to him in the Imperial Seal of the State dissipated, which is equivalent to allowing fair competition.
But now, he has to teach himself how to use the Imperial Seal of the State and help him establish contact between the Imperial Seal of the State and the survivors along the Yangtze River. The first thing he needs to do is to leave his own "spirit" in the Imperial Seal of the State.
This is nothing unusual for the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, because all the magical treasures here are bound to the "spirits" of many members of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, so they can be considered "shared magical treasures".
However, the significance of a sacred artifact like the Imperial Seal of the State, which carries such clear symbolic meaning, is far more complex.
This means that if Ye Dingjiang were to unfortunately perish, Cang Nian would be the first heir to the Imperial Seal of the State.
This burden is too heavy for the elderly to bear, nor do they want to.
However, when faced with Cang Nian's joking question, Ye Dingjiang simply smiled and stared at his face without saying a word.
"Are you kidding me? It's me?"
"Are you really going to hand over the Dragon Kingdom to a mere evolved being like me?"
Seeing Ye Dingjiang's gaze fall on him, Cang Nian immediately understood his thoughts and shook his head.
"I'm old, and my superpower is just the most ordinary elemental type. Let alone the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels, I'd be in trouble even fighting against opponents of the same level."
I don't ask you to take over the Dragon Kingdom; I only hope that in the future, to the best of your ability, you can protect the Dragon Kingdom in some way.
Ye Dingjiang stroked his gray beard and sighed softly.
