Chapter 1145: Dreams of Unification

Zhang Lie apologized, "I'm sorry I can't provide more information to the Milky Way."

"No, there's nothing to apologize for. This is valuable information and research material. The Milky Way had no understanding of these superior worlds before the eyewitness accounts that all of you have provided, clearing away a blind spot in our knowledge. This is particularly valuable for understanding the dimensional realms as a whole."

Hong Tianqi lowered his head. "As the highest authority of the united world federation, on behalf of the Milky Way, I hereby thank all of you."

The members of Team Zenith glanced at each other, shocked by Hong Tianqi's politeness. They hadn't done anything unusual—just provided an account of what they had seen and experienced.

Hong Tianqi raised his head. "In addition, I have a small request for you."

Zhang Lie frowned. "This isn't your main goal in contacting me, is it? That information-gathering process wasn't just a matter of convenience?"

Hong Tianqi waved a hand. "No, no, of course not. Whether you agree to my request is entirely up to you."

Zhang Lie asked, "What's the matter, then?"

"Some human hunters have cataloged and uploaded the changes to the draconian world to the hunters' forums, and many Milky Way hunters galaxy-wide are interested in moving to the draconian world."

Sun Mengmeng frowned. "What's so good about the draconian world that they're willing to move there en masse?"

Sun Xiaowu replied, "Being in a superior world confers many benefits and advantages, Sister, but you don't notice them because you've been enjoying them all this time."

Yang Ze elaborated, "After the draconian world evolved into a superior world, spiritual and medicinal herbs spawned all over, and it became a lot easier to cultivate them. However, this is unlikely to be the main reason many of them are interested in moving."

Li Feng guessed, "If I'm not mistaken, they're largely coming here for our captain, Zhang Lie."

Fang Yi continued, "There are countless benefits to moving to a superior world, but the largest among them is likely our captain's protection."

Yang Ze added, "I suppose the recent war against the death spirits is causing all the hunters to be worried about their safety."

Zhou Ying nodded. "Being able to get close to our captain might allow these hunters to cultivate their relationships with him."

Yang Ze laughed cheekily. "In that case, our captain's like a snack everyone wants to take a bite of."

Zhang Lie raised his head. "If it were only these hunters from the Milky Way, as the highest authority of the united world federation, I don't think you would convey such a request to me."

Hong Tianqi smiled. "You've seen through me."

Zhang Lie continued, "After recognizing the strength of these superior worlds, you realized that the third realm would never be the same—that it would be unsustainable for the hunters of the Milky Way to form scattered piles of sand throughout the third realm, as they've been doing. You want to concentrate them and appoint humanity as their leaders, creating a bastion for the Milky Way in the third realm."

Hong Tianqi began earnestly, "If this is a success, you'd lead the Milky Way in the third realm. It'll give you the power to take over the entirety of the realm, and the hunters of the Milky Way will become your sharpest blade."

Zhang Lie nodded. "It's a good suggestion, but I won't take part in it."

Hong Tianqi cried out, "Don't you know how strong these hunters will be if they're working together and cooperating?"

Zhang Lie laughed. "Indeed? And yet they weren't even able to interact with the superior worlds of the third realm despite years, decades of experience. I have no need for cannon fodder, nor a group of hunters working for disparate causes."

Hong Tianqi continued, "This will be very helpful for you when you ascend to the fourth realm."

Zhang Lie replied, "Authority, I know you're partially doing this for me, but I really don't need it. As for whatever benefits I obtain in the fourth realm, I don't need them. I got this far in the third realm on my own, and later with the members of Team Zenith, and I can repeat my success in the fourth realm. With my fists, I'll clear the sky."

Hong Tianqi frowned. "You aren't aware of just how dangerous the fourth realm is."

Zhang Lie shook his head. "I'll consider this, but if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

Hong Tianqi quickly interjected, "There's a question I'd very much like to ask you about."

"What is it?" Zhang Lie replied.

"Have you considered building a kingdom of Limit in the third realm, just as you've done in the second and the first realms?"

Zhang Lie was startled. Building his own kingdom of Limit in the third realm? The third realm had three thousand worlds. How was he supposed to build a kingdom to oversee it all there?

There was an answer, but it was something Zhang Lie had never dared to contemplate: to unify all three thousand worlds and generate the third realm anew.

Zhang Lie shook his head. "It would be far too difficult."

"You have the capability to accomplish it, don't you?"

"I do. I have the necessary foundation and strength—but don't forget that the king of chaos is still around."

As long as the king of chaos remained active, the three thousand worlds wouldn't be united, and the third realm couldn't be reborn.

Hong Tianqi sighed. "It's not a problem. I was just curious."

If Zhang Lie were able to unite the third realm and build another kingdom of Limit there, he would have accomplished an unparalleled feat beyond anyone's wildest imaginations, dramatically increasing the status of human hunters.

What other races' hunters couldn't even dream of accomplishing, Zhang Lie had managed.

Even if Zhang Lie weren't going to unite the hunters of the Milky Way, they would naturally accrete by Zhang Lie's side—Zhang Lie, who had already accomplished something previously thought impossible twice over.

The hunters of the Milky Way would respect and revere him, and thereby acknowledge his leadership.

Zhang Lie's name and reputation had reached unparalleled heights, and no one would be able to catch up to him in the short term. By then, regardless of whether he intended on allowing the hunters of the Milky Way to migrate to the draconian world, he would have become the de facto leader of all hunters.

The biggest issue was the king of chaos. As long as the king of chaos remained, Zhang Lie wouldn't be able to gain control of the third realm.

Hong Tianqi waved. "That's all for now, then. I still have lots of things I'm busy with, so I'll be leaving for now."
