Chapter 1099 1094-Establishing Power, General Trend
The forbidden Sea.
The heavenly Hound and the spring Guardian had left for some time.
The sky started to brighten.
The third day!
3rd of April.
……
Outside the evil sect\'s headquarters.
Some experts also rushed over one after another.
Perfected Lord Ming ting and the others returned to this place again.
Everyone looked at the void in front of them, and their eyes flickered. They were reluctant to leave.
This was the church!
A religion that had been established for eight thousand years!
The celestial Thearch had awakened, and King Kun had left. Were there any treasures left behind?
After eight thousand years, did the divine sect not have any treasures?
Would the celestial Thearch and the spring Guardian take everything away?
No matter what, they didn\'t want to miss this opportunity. After the heavenly Emperor left yesterday, everyone had been waiting for an entire night, and they were getting a little impatient.
"Ming ting, the celestial Thearch has already left. Are you not going in?"
At this moment, the man in King Zhou\'s incarnation shouted in a low voice. Continue to wait?
Who knew what was going on inside? if they didn\'t take the good stuff, who knew who would take it?
However, it didn\'t dare to go in alone, for fear that there were still strong people in the spirit religion.
The deranged Daoist frowned slightly, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, he looked at Wu kuishan again and said in a deep voice,"Snake King, where is the human King?"
King Zhou said impatiently,"do you even need to ask?" Such a big thing happened yesterday, but the human King didn\'t show up. I\'m afraid he really entered the divine sect, and if he\'s not dead, he\'s fighting for treasures inside!"
When Fang ping did not show up the previous day, everyone already had some guesses.
As soon as he said that, many people\'s eyes flickered.
Was Fang ping dead, or was he inside?
The probability of him dying was actually not high.
Fang ping was on good terms with the gray cat, and that fellow was good at talking. The possibility of him being killed by the celestial Emperor was not high.
If that was the case ...
At this moment, King Huai said lightly,"Fang ping must be inside the divine sect!" Perhaps he was still collecting treasures now! The divine sect has been established for eight thousand years and has countless treasures. The celestial Thearch may not be interested in them, but they are all precious treasures to us!
This time, Fang ping got all the benefits!"
King Huai also had his ways of drawing hatred to others.
When he said this, everyone\'s eyes flickered.
Was Fang ping really inside?
Was he snatching the treasure?
How many treasures had the divine sect left behind, and how many had been taken by Fang ping?
Wu kuishan\'s expression did not change, but he was worried in his heart. He was in trouble.
The heavenly Hound was gone!
If Fang ping was still inside, he would be in real trouble once he came out.
It did not matter if the evil sect had left behind any treasures. If they said Fang ping had them, then he would.
Other things aside, Fang Ping\'s divine weapon was coveted by many.
Moreover, the evil sect had suffered heavy losses this time. Fang Ping\'s previous talk of seizing the celestial Emperor\'s great Dao together had become an illusion.
At this moment, humans had once again become everyone\'s target.
Killing Fang ping would probably become the main goal of many people.
Who asked Fang ping to be so domineering before and kill so many true gods? who would not fear him now?
Due to various reasons, regardless of whether Fang ping had seized the treasure or not, he was everyone\'s target.
Wu kuishan was worried. He was in trouble.
It was very troublesome!
There were many absolute beginning stage experts present.
On the forbidden sea\'s side, Ming ting, Zhou King, crab King ...
On the catacombs \'side, King Huai, the right divine general, the son of the thousand Demon King, Long Qi, the son of the heavenly Demon King, Peng Yue ...
True gods from both the heavens beyond heaven and the other worlds had arrived.
Would these people just watch as Fang ping left the evil sect headquarters safely?
It won \'t!
Fang ping had killed so many paragons in a short month. They would not let Fang ping continue to be so unscrupulous.
Previously, everyone had a common interest, but now ... When the blood cloud had gathered, who did not know that many evil sect powerhouses had died?
Wu kuishan was worried. At that moment, energy suddenly surged in the void.
"A void passage!" Someone shouted in a low voice. Someone is coming out!"
The evil sect\'s passageway had collapsed, but the main passageway was still there. It was just that ordinary people could not break through the collapsed passageway.
The person who came out at this moment was definitely at the true God level.
Who was it?
Just as they were on guard, a familiar figure stepped out of the void.
Fang ping had long since returned to his original appearance. At this moment, Fang ping was wearing military boots, a military uniform, had short hair, and had one hand in his pocket. He seemed a little out of place with these people.
At Fang Ping\'s level of martial arts cultivation, his figure was really good, and his temperament was also extraordinary.
If Fang ping did not speak, he would look similar to Li Zhen when he stepped out.
But very quickly, this image of a cold and unfeeling expert was shattered.
As soon as he came out, he saw powerhouses coming from all directions. Fang ping was stunned at first, then grinned. "Everyone\'s here! Shall we go for a drink?"
"……"
The crowd looked at him coldly.
King Huai sneered,"I knew it. It must be this person who stirred up trouble and chaos within the church!" If I\'m not mistaken, the eight thousand years of accumulation of the demonic sect will all fall into his hands!"
Fang ping chuckled,"Oh, you know about this too?" Huai King, you really are an roundworm in my stomach. You know everything. It\'s not easy. If I had known earlier, I would have pulled you out in advance!"
"……"
King Huai\'s expression was unsightly. He had a deep understanding of human culture, so he naturally understood the meaning of these words.
Some of the powerhouses from the ancient times, even if they did not understand, could tell that Fang ping was insulting King Huai.
However, no one said anything at this time.
At this moment, Daoist Ming ting also said coldly,""Human King, didn\'t we agree to enter the divine sect together? Why did the human King come here alone?"
"I\'m here to Scout the way. I\'ve killed earthly intellect, so there\'s no one to Scout the way. Of course, I have to come early."
Fang ping laughed,"why?" Does perfected Lord Ming ting think it\'s inappropriate?"
Having said that, Fang ping laughed again."Everyone should disperse. Why are you all crowding around?!" Out of the evil sect\'s three emperors and nine gods, only Supreme Emperor Feng Yun and perfected Lord di Xing are still alive. They ran away with their belongings last night. If you want to find trouble, go find them. "
"Fang ping!"
A light shout was heard, and in the next moment, a giant dragon circled in the sky. This was the son of the thousand Goblin King.
He was also the current king Lord of the thousand Goblin Royal Court!
Long Qi!
"Hand over the treasures of the demonic sect and you will enter the demonic sect alone. The cultivators of the demonic sect have all been killed and wounded. The eight thousand years of the demonic sect\'s Foundation will all fall into your hands. Do you want to take it all for yourself?"
Fang ping was depressed. He looked at the Dragon and laughed. "You\'re the son of that long worm? Why do you care if I took it all for myself? is it yours? Does it have anything to do with you? Even King Kun didn\'t say anything. Who are you to be so arrogant to me?"
As Fang ping said this, he sneered. He looked around and said with a disdainful expression, "Don\'t look at me like that! Whether I took the treasure or not, how much I took, is it any of your business?"
"All of you, if you have the ability, then go destroy the evil sect and snatch the treasure. If you don\'t have the ability, then beat them up and kill a few of your peers. Why are you all staring at me? "I, Fang ping, am easy to bully? My knife is not sharp enough?"
Fang ping snorted softly and said with a cold smile,"I\'ve killed more Emperor-ranks and paragons than all of you here combined!" What, are you threatening me? Are you trying to scare me? You want to kill me? Do you really think I\'m a vegetarian?"
Fang ping was so arrogant that he did not know why!
There were more than ten paragons present!
There was also Ming ting, an expert who was close to an Emperor!
However, Fang ping was still insolent, not taking these people seriously at all.
At this moment, Ling Hua and Qing Hua were also at the back of the crowd.
Seeing Fang Ping\'s insolent look, the soul puppet could not help but transmit a message,""Martial uncle, be careful!"
"What?"
"Although this guy is a bastard, he would never seek his own destruction! Since he\'s so arrogant, he must have some confidence ... Could it be that ... The celestial Emperor hasn\'t left?"
At the thought of this, even though Ling Hua was a domineering master who was not afraid of anything, she still felt a little nervous.
The heavenly Emperor was a true legend.
Even her Grandmaster, the moon Spirit Emperor, an ancient expert, the daughter of an Emperor, the head of the royal house, and the battle prowess of a Heavenly King ...
Compared to the celestial Thearch, who was known as the number one expert in the Three Realms back then, he was still inferior.
The heavenly Hound had been invincible for 8000 years!
Even though the heavenly Hound had been dead for 3000 years, no one else had been praised as an invincible expert.
Qing Hua\'s expression changed slightly at the mention of the heavenly Hound.
Yesterday, after she left this place, she did try to find Saint Yuwei. However, she was unable to find her.
With the ancient Saints around, they would more or less have some confidence.
However, Sage Yuwei had gone to chase after the cat tree. If the celestial Thearch appeared now, he would have no confidence.
……
On the other side.
Jiang Yan\'s aura was extremely powerful. Although he had not proven his Dao, he was only one step away from the peak. He was really about to step into it.
They were top-notch rank-9s back then. After a few battles, even if they did not break through, they were almost there.
Looking at Fang ping, Jiang Yu turned to his uncle beside him and said telepathically,"Uncle, Fang ping has a glib tongue. If he really can\'t win, I\'m afraid he\'d have roped in all the parties and joined forces.
But now, he\'s deliberately angering all parties. Uncle, be careful!"
Jiang Xu\'s expression was solemn. He did not dare to underestimate Fang ping.
This was an existence who had killed many real gods before!
At this point, whoever still looked down on Fang ping would be really asking for death.
However, the church\'s eight thousand years of accumulation ...
Who knew what kind of treasure Fang ping had obtained? even he was a little tempted.
……
There were experts in all directions.
There were paragons and also non-paragons.
However, even if he wasn\'t a Paragon, he was still a top ninth-grade.
These people participated in this because they wanted to break through.
At this stage, if they didn\'t participate in the battle between the true gods, they wouldn\'t die easily. On the contrary, they might be able to vindicate their Dao when the opportunity came.
……
In the East.
A bull and a dog, two demonic beasts, gathered together.
Li Wuji looked at Yu, who had changed a lot, and was still a little dazed.
Where\'s your Golden Horn?
That was your most powerful weapon, and you lost it just like that?
Your golden armor is supposed to be defensive. How did it turn into fur?
Where are the leopard prints on your body? why are they gone?
Is there any meaning in impersonating the heavenly Hound?
The Jiao did not care about the look in its eyes. It was staring at Fang ping now, transmitting its voice carefully,""Stupid bull, do you think the chef ... The human King will get something good? The people from the evil sect must have been killed by my old ancestor. Shouldn\'t the treasure belong to me?"
"……"
Li Wuji looked at it as if it was an idiot.
You want to snatch Fang Ping\'s things?
"Who in the Three Realms doesn\'t know that Fang ping will take revenge for the smallest grievance? before this, you even suspected that he was the reincarnation of the celestial Emperor, more like the celestial Emperor than you. Aren\'t you afraid that he\'ll kill you?
The referee was a little dissatisfied with its stare and angrily transmitted a message,""That\'s something left behind by my ancestor. Is it wrong for my descendant to collect it?"
"What\'s the use of saying all this to this Lord, just go!"
Jiao was speechless. Would I dare?
After chef became stronger, he felt more sinister and cunning than before.
A large number of true gods had died in his hands, so how would he dare to cause trouble for him?
But ... That was his own old ancestor!
The old ancestor had only left him a set of cultivation techniques and nothing else. The Jiao was also envious. Fang ping must have gained a lot, or he would not have stayed until now and escaped the day before as soon as the old ancestor had left.
It understood Fang ping too well!
If Fang ping did not gain anything and did not need it, he would have definitely taken the opportunity to run away yesterday.
……
Everyone was talking about it. There were some that Fang ping knew, and some that he did not.
Some people from the overseas immortal islands had also come.
Luo Yu was beside an expert with a resplendent physical body, and he seemed to be transmitting his voice as well.
Yue Wuhua, who was standing beside a middle-aged woman, was also talking.
There were many powerhouses. No matter how strong Fang ping was, he would not be a match for so many true gods.
However, at this moment, everyone was a little afraid.
……
Fang ping looked in all directions. After waiting for a while, he smiled and said, "What\'s wrong? You\'re not talking, and you\'re not making a move. Are you trying to kill me?"
"Fang ping ..."
King Huai was about to speak gloomily when Fang ping said lazily,"True Lord Earth Dog, King Huai, you have so many identities and so many aliases! Don\'t deny it, I don\'t have time to listen to your explanation. Even the weakest of the seventy-two God Lords are not worthy of my attention. It\'s just that your identity as a servant of the four families really makes me admire you. "
"……"
King Huai\'s expression changed slightly, and he said coldly,"Fang ping, you\'re on the verge of death, and you still dare ..."
"Shut up!"
Fang ping shouted coldly, his eyes sharp."If you keep talking nonsense, I\'ll kill you first today! Do you really think that you can live forever because you are strong? It\'s just that you\'re a little disgusting, but you don\'t pose any threat!"
King Huai\'s expression changed. He was a little angry, but when he saw Fang Ping\'s cold and sharp gaze, he was a little frightened.
This guy ... This guy seemed to have become even stronger!
\'Damn it!\'
How did this guy cultivate?
They hadn\'t seen each other for a few days, but why did he feel that he was even more powerful than when he killed the earth wisdom sect?
Fang ping sneered. The others \'gazes also changed. True Lord Earth Dog ...
They were all in awe of King Huai\'s status.
This guy really knew how to make a living.
At this moment, someone in the crowd chuckled.""Human King, there\'s no need to be angry. We\'re just anxious to know the situation of the divine sect. Yesterday, the celestial Thearch appeared and the three Realms are in turmoil. Since human King has come out from the divine sect, you must know something. Why don\'t you tell us ..."
Fang ping replied indifferently,"what do you want to know?" Didn\'t I tell you? "The evil sect is almost all dead. Feng Yun and di Xing have run away. The celestial Thearch and the spring Guardian have also left. They\'re preparing to go to the heavenly tomb. Don\'t worry, I don\'t have any backing.
"I, Fang ping, do not rely on others. It is enough to rely on myself!
Those experts from the heavenly tomb have come out, and you still have the qualifications to threaten me. You ... Forget it!
I\'ll take my benefits with my own abilities. Let\'s not talk about the real good things. Even if there are, what can you do?
Those who want to be my enemy, step forward!
If you don\'t want to be my enemy, step back now. Otherwise, if we fight later and accidentally hurt or kill each other, I won\'t be able to reason with you. I don\'t care about the consequences!"
As soon as these words came out, some people\'s expressions changed.
Was he ready to start a war?
Fang ping remained cold. He was not afraid.
There\'s no one behind me!
But ... There was a tree!
Skywood\'s main body was too large, and he was currently expanding the passageway. He wanted to come out, but he had yet to do so.
This was a Saint-level expert!
\'I\'m out. Since these people are trying to kill me ... They\'re just trying to kill Skywood. I\'ll just kill them all along the way. \'
He had been worried that Tian Mu wouldn\'t work, but if a group of people surrounded and killed Tian Mu ... Would that Saint Tian Mu be a vegetarian?
No, that blockhead really seemed to be a vegetarian. No, he didn\'t even eat vegetarian food.
That\'s good too. I\'ve taken the opportunity to get rid of some of the guys that should be cleaned up.
He was going to go into seclusion, and he didn\'t have the mood to continue fighting with these guys.
His main battlefield was not here, but the fake heavenly tomb!
It was the awakened powerhouses!
It was the real heavenly tomb!
He might even become the future nine emperors and four Emperors.
Fang ping was not too afraid of these people, even if they were up against the Ming court.
Ming ting was close to the Emperor level, but close to the Emperor level meant that the limit was less than 2 million Cal vitality.
The burst would be lower.
How powerful could this guy be?
1.5 million Cal?
Fang ping might be a fatal threat, but if they were to really fight, Fang ping still had the Saint token. Did this guy have a Saint weapon?
Fang ping had the God-slaying saber that could sever great DAOs. Could he?
Fang Ping\'s golden body was at the ninth refinement. His defense was actually stronger than his own limits. Could he really find an opportunity to kill Fang ping?
That was hard to say.
If this continued, Fang ping might not be able to do anything to him, but it would also be difficult for the Ming court to kill Fang ping.
At this moment, Fang ping was really full of himself.
He even had the intention to try fighting with a powerhouse!
He, who had broken through to the fourth level, should be considered one of the top among these people. He was not afraid of these people.
……
The scene fell silent again.
Some of them looked at Fang ping, some looked at the true gods around them, and some did not say a word. No one knew what they were thinking.
After a long time, King Zhou said,"Fang ping, hand over the treasures you took from the divine sect!" The divine religion is in the sea of sufferings, which is the territory of the sea Guardian ..."
"So it\'s yours?"
Fang ping sneered."Don\'t give me that. I almost ate your fish head. Do you want me to kill you completely this time and have an all-fish banquet?"
"……"
King Zhou\'s expression changed slightly.
It was quite afraid of that cat!
Now that it remembered, its expression turned ugly, but it did not dare to say another word. It had almost forgotten that Fang ping had the gray cat behind him.
Other people thought that Cang Mao had left, but it knew that it was still there.
"I\'m going back, a good dog doesn\'t block the way! I\'ll say it one last time, those who don\'t want to get involved, those who want to maintain a temporary peace with the humans, get out of the way! Otherwise, I\'ll treat you as an enemy!"
Some people\'s expressions changed, some were furious.
Fang ping was insolent!
However, there were also people who chose to give up after a moment of contemplation.
The next moment, the spiritual puppet said coldly,"Fang ping, don\'t be so foul-mouthed!" No one owes you anything! If it was back then ..."
"What happened back then?"
Fang ping laughed,"you could\'ve killed me back then?" Ling Zheng, stop talking nonsense. Do you want to admit that Wangwu mountain owes me those heads? Then let\'s do something big this time. Kill those who need to be killed and kill those who need to be killed. Don\'t play dumb with me all the time!"
Fang ping laughed, his face cold."I hate fence sitters. I can\'t tolerate any sand in my eyes. When I meet an opponent on the battlefield, I\'ll get rid of those fence sitters first before I kill the enemy!
I\'ve always felt that these people are more detestable than our enemies!
If you don\'t want to participate, then leave. If not, you can directly say that you want to kill me and take my treasure. Be straightforward, you\'ve lived for so long, can\'t you see this?"
"Fang ping, with your attitude, the Three Realms will become the human race\'s enemy sooner or later!" Ling Xiao was furious.
"Isn\'t it the same now?"
Fang ping said indifferently,"if that\'s the case, that\'s even better!" I don\'t want to have to judge whether you\'re an enemy or not and whether I should kill you or not. I don\'t want you to stab me in the back!"
As he said that, Fang ping lost his patience and shouted coldly,"If you don\'t want to fight, then go away! If you want to make a move, then make a move now. What\'s the point of talking so much!"
In the distance, Wu kuishan looked depressed. What are you doing?
Did he have to offend everyone?
Why do you care about these fence-sitters? at least at this time, there is still a need to rope these people in.
Now, it was great. These people might really join forces.
"Arrogant!"
In the sky, a golden ROC snorted coldly. This was the son of the sky Demon King.
Savage!
Did Fang ping really think that he was invincible in the Three Realms?
"Arrogant? Even if your father came, he wouldn\'t dare to say such words!"
At that moment, Fang ping took the initiative to strike first. He stepped through space and appeared above it in the blink of an eye. He held a big golden seal in his hand and smashed it down!
Peng Yue shouted coldly. His sharp claws flickered with a cold glint as he clawed at Fang ping!
It was also a true God and a demon, so it wasn\'t weak.
If Fang ping wanted to use it to establish his might in front of so many people, he was underestimating it too much!
The others were restless, but they didn\'t make a move.
They also wanted to measure Fang Ping\'s strength. They also wanted to see the current strength of this king of the sky demon Royal Court.
"You think you\'re worthy to compete with me in terms of physical strength?"
At this moment, Fang Ping\'s left hand held the seal, and his right hand suddenly reached out, grabbing Peng Yue\'s sharp claws.
Under everyone\'s shocked gazes, Fang ping grabbed the sharp claw. The moment the hand and claw collided, sparks flew in all directions.
Peng Yue\'s claws were huge, while Fang Ping\'s palm was small.
At this moment, Fang ping was only holding onto one of the fingertips in the claw.
On his fingertips, his claws flickered with a cold light. This was also Peng Yue\'s sharp weapon.
However, at this moment, Fang ping grabbed it, sneered, and with a low shout, he twisted it backward!
Bang! Bang!
An explosion was heard. Under Peng Yue\'s horrified gaze, Fang ping used his palm to break the other party\'s sharp claws!
At the same time, the golden seal fell!
Kachaa!
The void was shattered, and the seal instantly hit Peng Yue\'s head.
Under everyone\'s disbelieving eyes, Peng Yue\'s powerful golden body exploded and his huge bird head disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"The fourth heavenly layer!"
"Be careful!"
Everyone exclaimed!
Breaking four!
Not only that, but someone also recognized the Saint token and exclaimed,""Saint token, Saint weapon!"
An expert who had broken through the fourth level with a holy weapon and high compatibility would not necessarily lose to an imperial capital.
Of course, there were also strong and weak people who broke through four.
1.2 million to 2.4 million Cal were all in the range of breaking through four.
Fang ping should have just entered, but at this moment, he was still shocking.
In the midst of everyone\'s exclamations, Peng Yue was also incomparably decisive. In the next moment, more than half of his golden body self-destructed, leaving only a pair of wings behind as he broke through the air to escape.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand meters away, Peng Yue recovered his golden body. A hint of fear flashed through his huge bird eyes.
Breaking four!
A holy weapon!
If it was not for the fact that there were many people here and Fang ping did not dare to pursue it rashly, it might really have been killed if it had encountered Fang ping alone!
"Trash!"
Fang ping snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. He looked at the crowd again, full of provocation!
Dare to come?
Do you dare?
Breaking four isn\'t invincible, but I\'m just that arrogant!
He would first determine if they were friends or enemies, and when Skywood appeared, he would kill as many as he could.
……
"Break four!"
At this moment, the others were also shocked. Even now, they had not recovered from the shock.
There were strong and weak people who could break through four levels, but anyone who could break four was a strong person.
An outburst of 1.2 million Cal!
Under normal circumstances, the limit of a powerhouse who could unleash such destructive power was around 1.4 million.
Weak apex cultivators would only have a basic vitality of 25000Cal when they reached 6000 meters under normal circumstances. If they were to increase their vitality by 1.5 times, their vitality would reach 625000Cal. In addition to the increase in combat techniques and weapons ...
"If we calculate it, it might not even reach 70000Cal, which is 1.4 million Cal for a rank-9.
Although there weren\'t many weak absolute peak cultivators, it didn\'t mean that there weren\'t any.
The stronger ones had to walk four to five thousand meters before they had the ability to break four.
Among all the paragons present, how many of them could break through four?
Everyone\'s eyes flickered, and they were also amazed.
Fang ping was so powerful!
This was way too fast!
This was especially true for people like Luo Yu and Yue Wuhua. A month ago, they had participated in the rank-9 battle with Fang ping. Yue Wuhua and the others had even witnessed Fang ping breaking through rank-9 with their own eyes!
But now?
Fang ping had become a powerhouse among true gods!
As for them, they had not even become true gods.
It was really infuriating to compare people.
……
In the air.
Fang ping laughed. He laughed arrogantly and playfully.
"A bunch of old fogeys. Do you really think that you have the final say in the Three Realms? The human race is the general trend. Even now, you still can\'t see the situation clearly and want to be the enemy of the human race. Do you really think you can win?"
Fang ping shouted coldly,"you\'re just daydreaming!" Powerhouses like the celestial Thearch and the spring Guardian all knew that humans were the protagonists, and they were all friendly with humans! Even an ancient creature like the grey cat knew that it should side with the humans!
What about you guys?
Have you lived all your years in the stomach of a dog?
On the evil sect\'s side, Feng Yun and di Xing had also forsaken the darkness for the light. They had chosen to be on good terms with the humans and had killed Leiting and Yanzhi as proof of their loyalty!
What about you guys?
People like you who can\'t see the situation and the big picture don\'t need to wait for the big picture to come. You might die in the next moment!"
Fang ping was domineering and insolent!
Humans were the general trend!
This was what he wanted to say!
The moment Tian Mu came out, he believed that many people would waver. Was it really right to be enemies with humans?
There was a commotion in the crowd.
The main character ... Of the trend!
The human race!
Was it really the right choice to kill the powerhouses of the human race?
……
In the distance.
Li Wuji and Yu looked at each other and sighed. They started again.
It was the same every time.
First establish his might, then dupe.
In the end, those who were duped were either killed or became thugs. This guy never changed his routine, and the two demons were both deeply hurt!
[Author\'s note: 7000 chapters. I\'m sorry ... I\'m done with two chapters today.]
