Chapter 1376: Domineering Men are All the Same

Wang Zheng wasn’t like Zhang Shan had thought. He had been very calm ever since Aina left. He seemed to have given it some thought, and he had put himself and all his energy into training the army and himself. Of course, he would also drag Yan Xiaosu to the lake for a drink occasionally. However, it was apparent that he had not let go completely, since he had yet to leave Aina and his love nest.

It was ironic. He had met Aina, who was at the tip of the pyramid, when he had nothing. Aina fell in love with the him of that time. It was totally different from now, which was why the love was so deep. It could be understood, but it would still take time.

Training was undoubtedly a very good way of relief. The giants were elated since Ada was very passionate. He defeated all the masters of the Saruman Snake in a matter of days and won the support of the giants. They were now devotees of Wang Zheng. When myth and reality were combined, the result was faith.

Wang Zheng floated on the lake. He was now in a particular state, a little bitter but also happy. A trace of calmness was embedded in the chaos. His emotions were full.

Emotions were a type of experience. They made Wang Zheng’s spiritual realm more perfect and calm.

His spiritual power and physical techniques continued to advance as the lakeside boiled. Golden light bloomed from Wang Zheng’s body. The Tita people prostrated themselves towards the lake. Such miracles were plentiful these days, and they believed it would bring prosperity to them. Tita babies born during this time seemed extraordinarily spiritual. The Tita people thought it was the blessing of Ada.

Wang Zheng wasn’t so superstitious, but the comprehension of heaven and earth did seem to produce spiritual fluctuations of sorts, which might have certain impact on the fetus. The origin of spiritual power was similar to the origin of life.

Wang Zheng put his power away and flew back onto the river bank. Everything seemed to be freed and refreshed. His body and spirit seemed to have been tempered again. A smile appeared on his face. He should be closer to Heaven rank now.

Ye Zisu was waiting for Wang Zheng by the river bank. Ye Zisu smiled upon seeing Wang Zheng’s expression. “Your smile today is most natural.”

“Why, do you think I’m still in the sad state of breakup?” Wang Zheng teased.

“You are Wang Zheng. If you are considered to be in a state of breakup, everyone should be in a sad state.” Ye Zisu laughed. “The Sirius Star has used the excuse that they were pursuing pirates to enter our star field many times over the past few days. Elder Mu Sen hopes we can respond positively. More importantly, Professor Alan wants to see you.”

“Haha, Old Merchant finally remembered me!” The only one whom Wang Zheng admired was the Old Merchant. He was the beacon of Wang Zheng’s life.

Old Merchant’s easygoing attitude was something he had to learn. The greatest happiness in life was to have a goal and to work towards it.

Old Merchant had always been incredible in Wang Zheng’s memory. He seemed to have the world under his feet all those years ago in that small bookstore. Always fearless. He had been to the Saint and now to Tita, but he had never changed. His eyes were filled with energy. This was true strength. He might not be a warrior, but he was invincible in his area of expertise.

Wang Zheng felt filled with vigor every time he saw Old Merchant. Old Merchant smiled and caressed Wang Zheng’s head. The only person who dared caress the head of the Greatest King was him. Rara Durai might have given Old Merchant a sound beating if he didn’t know his identity.

“Lad, you’re doing rather well on Tita, eh? A chip off the old block!” Old Merchant smiled. Alan Tucker had the entire science world under him all those years back. Only he dared to look down on those “toys” of the Atlanteans. He mellowed down after experiencing ups and downs in life. He could finally be regarded as humble now. He had countless students after him even after he failed. Alan Tucker was a faith in the scientific world. The “students” he helped back then were now big names as well.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! I hope I didn’t disappoint you.”

“You managed to obtain the Greatest King, you pass,” Old Merchant smiled, his eyes filled with pride and comfort. He didn’t care whether Wang Zheng would follow his path. This was the true genius who reached the epoch of the Milky Way Alliance at the tender age of 25. Humanity’s technology had leapt by 50 years because of him. People might forget who the prime minister of the strongest country was, but they would never forget Alan Tucker’s name.

Sometimes, a look was enough to convey the tenderness between men. The last entanglements in Wang Zheng’s heart dissipated. Alan Tucker was his role model. He shouldn’t be entangled like this, but should take a huge step forward.

“I got you here today to look at an interesting toy. Of course, I have to thank an old friend of yours.” Old Merchant smiled. “Come with me.”

Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu, Yan Xiaosu, Lan Ling, and Rara Durai followed him. Lan Ling didn’t have a very good feeling about him. She knew him as well, a super genius who consumed the greatest amount of research funding in human history for a parallel space technology that wasn’t realistic.

However, this person was the person Wang Zheng respected the most, so Lan Ling could only do whatever she could to satisfy his requests. Luckily, he wanted super-gravity material and G-material, both of which were plentiful in Tita. They restricted exports to the outside world, but there were no restrictions on the internal supply.

Ye Zisu had a smile on her face. She was an insider. She had discussed Wang Zheng’s break up with Alan Tucker, hoping he could enlighten Wang Zheng. However, Old Merchant’s reply was rather domineering. He wouldn’t be fit to be Alan Tucker’s successor if he couldn’t even handle something so minor!

Perhaps domineering men were all the same.
