Chapter 901 Heading To The Ancient Ruins
Lu Yu picked up the anti-gravity armor and examined it carefully.
The pure black battle suit had the texture of leather, and he could feel a trace of metallic coolness when he touched it.
“I’ll take this equipment for now. If I have better equipment to replace it in the future, I’ll return it.”
Wan Guliu laughed out loud. “Why would you think about returning it? You can use it as much as you want. You are our number one priority now.”
“Are you not going to continue your research?” Lu Yu asked curiously. “Perhaps this could aid in developing some anti-gravity technology?”
“That’s too far out of our reach. We’ve tried our best but ultimately couldn’t produce any results.”
“So, just take it. If any country on our planet can research this equipment thoroughly, it will only be the Star Science Chamber of Commerce.”
Lu Yu frowned slightly and asked, “You mean if we send this armor over to them, they might be able to develop something?”
“That’s right, but there’s no time for that now. With our enemy knocking on our doors, we don’t have time to do this.”
Lu Yu nodded solemnly. “You’re right. In that case, I’ll set off for the ancient ruins.”
“Alright, the fate of mankind is in your hands now.”
Wan Guliu placed one hand on Lu Yu’s shoulder and said this earnestly.
“I believe it is time to make our situation public.” Previously, it had only been rumors, but I believe we can now announce it while patching your reputation.”
“Previously, when that fellow was up against you, your reputation in the Freedom Federation was tarnished. He hired quite a number of media organizations to smear your reputation. Now, it’s time to clear your name.”
Lu Yu thought about it and nodded. “Sure, let’s announce it. It’s time to tell the truth to the public. Otherwise, they won’t be prepared when that day comes.”
“I’ll leave the matters of the Freedom Federation to you. I’ll handle the situation in the ancient ruins.”
Wan Guliu reached into his pocket and added, “Wait a minute, I have something to give you.”
After fumbling around for a while, he took out a jade necklace.
“This is a pa.s.s. As you know, military teleportation points are restricted. There are very few places that civilians can teleport to. They need to teleport to one node after another, getting clearance before they can reach their destination.”
“With this jade, you can open any blank teleportation scroll and return to the military headquarters directly. You can also enter the ancient ruins directly from the military headquarters.”
Lu Yu took the jade necklace and took a good look at it.
“Great. With this, can I teleport freely within the Freedom Federation?”
“Of course, you can teleport anywhere as you wish.”
“Thank you very much. This thing is useful.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu accepted the necklace.
He turned around and walked toward the teleportation array.
Wan Guliu looked at Lu Yu’s back and heaved a sigh of relief. “Our situation is secured with him around.”
Lu Yu arrived at the teleportation array with the Empress following him.
She shook her ears and smiled at Lu Yu. “Bring me along, yeah?”
“You? It’s very dangerous there, and I can’t guarantee your safety.”
“You’re looking down on me. My strength is at least at the Starlight, and is that any lower than yours?”
It was true that Lu Yu was way weaker than the Empress in terms of individual strength. However, Lu Yu had two divine artifacts; reaching Starlight with their enhancement was entirely possible.
With the support of his divine artifacts, Lu Yu could even fight one-on-one with any of his dragons.
“Fine, come along. However, you must listen to my orders. Otherwise, I won’t save you if something happens to you.”
“I’m the Empress of a country. What do you take me for, asking me to obey you?”
Lu Yu turned around and continued walking toward the teleportation array. “Forget it then. I can go alone.”
“Wait. I’ll listen to you, okay? Once we enter the ruins, I’ll do whatever you say.”
“Aren’t you an Empress? Would an Empress listen to a commoner?”
“You… You’re not an ordinary commoner, so it’s normal for me to listen to you.”
She tried defending herself.
“Get ready. We’re entering the ancient ruins.”
The portal slowly opened, and the two of them walked in.
The next moment, they reached a dense forest.
Lu Yu summoned the Water Spirit Dragon to carry them toward Black Stone City.
The Water Spirit Dragon’s colossal body crashed to the ground, scaring the Empress into retreating a few steps.
“No matter how many times I’ve been before it, it’s always shocking.”
The Empress mumbled as she walked along the Water Spirit Dragon’s wings and onto its back.
The two of them stood on the back of the Water Spirit Dragon. Immediately after, the dragon began to flap its wings.
The intense air pressure from the flapping of its wings flattened the surrounding trees.
The Water Spirit Dragon soared into the sky in an instant, with great speed.
Thus, they set off for Black Stone City.
At that moment, Lu Yu took out his phone.
The ancient ruins were finally linked to their home planet after the Star Science Chamber of Commerce installed signal transmission equipment after a half-year wait.
Lu Yu quickly contacted Elizabeth and gave her a call.
“Hey, how’s the situation on your side?”
Elizabeth smiled. “Everything is normal on my side. Before you left, your actions scared off the small countries around us.”
“That’s good. The Freedom Federation is about to announce the news of the Ember Empire’s invasion; you go ahead and talk with them about this.”
Hearing this, Elizabeth replied in a serious tone, “I will arrange for a talk with the Freedom Federation.”
“Good, how’s Han Xuefei doing over there?”
“She’s fine. Do you want to talk to her?”
“No, there’s no need. I have to call the Star Science Chamber of Commerce.”
“Okay, be safe…”
Lu Yu took out his phone and started looking for Qin Yang’s phone number.
These forces could not help him much because they were preoccupied with their internal affairs.
The Lionheart Empire, the Freedom Federation, and the Star Science Chamber of Commerce were all the same.
Soon, the call was connected. Qin Yang asked with excitement, “Brother Lu Yu, you finally called me. How’s the situation on your side?”
“I’m already prepared to make a pre-emptive strike. How’s the war on your side?”
“The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce has been forced to retreat. We’re almost at their headquarters. They probably don’t have time to do anything else, so we’ll win as long as we continue this.”
“Oh, right, I’ve got something to report. An Lan also partic.i.p.ated in this war, with me providing her a lot of resources.”
“That’s good to hear. An Lan’s SSS-rank talent will definitely be of great help to us. Alright, I’ll hang up first. Call me again when you’ve won the battle.”
“Sure! Don’t worry; we’ll work hard!”
