Chapter 336: Chapter 297 Human Preparation!

The royal palace.

Emperor stood with Zhao Zhibing and Zhao Junyu by his side.

Wu Xiaode was accompanied by Xia Huilan and Xia Ni, along with Xiao Baihong, Li Kunlun, and Qian Mingkui.

After the calamity of Parallel World No. 5432, these were all the Awakeners humanity had left.

Satan and Gjestastav stood far away on the other side.

They had already revealed their identities.

Especially invited for the matter of the world setting change, they gathered to discuss strategies.

"The satellites have already counted, there are about 47 black skeletons on the island – but that’s just the number visible outside the castle; we still don’t know what’s inside," Zhao Zhibing reported.

"On our side, we have two Demon Gods, Satan and Gjestastav, who can immediately reach the Soul Power limit of 50/50 once the world’s limit is raised to 50 points," Wu Xiaode said.

"But, to defeat 47 equally-leveled divine spirits with just the two of us seems rather unrealistic," Satan said as he adjusted his glasses.

Wu Xiaode glanced at Xia Ni.

She, too, could immediately reach 50 points.

So that would be 3 against 47.

Besides, we still don’t know what’s inside the castle.

How are we supposed to fight this?

"We only have seven days?" the Emperor asked.

"That’s how the Dark Rule Divine Beast announced it," Zhao Zhibing said.

"Kunlun, I want you to take a look into the future – because the ’1 point Soul Power’ setting was established by the prisoner – the Dark Rule Divine Beast changed this setting, and yet the prisoner didn’t say a word," Wu Xiaode said.

"You suspect there’s a problem?" Satan asked.

"Yes," Wu Xiaode said.

"I also think there’s a problem," Satan said.

"But - a setting is a setting; there shouldn’t be any problems," the cold beauty shook her head.

"So, from when does the first day start?" Satan asked.

No one had an answer.

Indeed.

This question had no answer!

Satan and Wu Xiaode looked at each other, seemingly finding solace in shared insight.

—Did they really think they could deceive us with such subpar tricks?

No way.

Zhao Zhibing pondered, "The Dark Rule Divine Beast didn’t mention this, and the prisoner kept silent—"

"Could it be they’re playing dirty on this issue?" Xiao Baihong said with a laugh.

Wu Xiaode patted Li Kunlun on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Kunlun, it’s still up to you to take a look into the future."

"Alright, I’ll have a look," Li Kunlun said lazily.

He stood still, and a fleeting illusory figure suddenly crossed over him.

The scenery around him flashed away along with his figure.

In an instant.

Li Kunlun’s eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "What a bunch of rogues!"

"What happened?" Wu Xiaode quickly asked.

"The time actually started from the moment the black skeletons arrived," Li Kunlun said in a hurry, "Which was three nights ago!"

Three nights ago.

With a moment’s thought, Wu Xiaode understood.

That evening, he had entered the Death Demon Cave and awakened the rare Death Skill "Book of the Dead."

That was the moment when they arrived.

Could it be they sensed the birth of the Death Skill?

"So that means it’s already the fourth day," Zhao Junyu said.

Seven days in total.

Three days had passed; it was now the fourth day.

Three days remained.

After three days, the world’s Soul Power limit would increase to 50 points.

Once that moment arrived, only Satan and Gjestastav would be able to stand against those divine spirits from the Past Epoch.

Everyone else would be utterly powerless!

"They really played a trick, trying to kill us," Satan said, resting his chin in his hand.

"Thank goodness we have Li Kunlun," Wu Xiaode said.

"First things first, get me something to eat; I need to replenish my energy," Li Kunlun said tiredly.

This won’t do.

You can’t keep being a tool forever!

He had to find a way to strengthen himself; otherwise, even if he could travel to the future—

He had already experienced that desperate future in advance.

How can one survive in the end?

"It’s already arranged – you’re familiar with the palace’s banquet hall, just go there," the Emperor said.

"Thanks," Li Kunlun said as he left the council hall with many thoughts.

"What do we do next?" the Emperor asked.

"Against such evil demons, there’s no need for any chivalrous propriety," Wu Xiaode said.

"Little Wu, what do you mean?" the Emperor asked.

"The skeletons only have 1 point of Soul Power now – let’s take this chance and go nuclear," Wu Xiaode said.

The Emperor thought for a moment, then slapped the armrest of his chair:

"Let’s nuke them clean!"

Zhao Zhibing immediately took out a briefcase, called up the interface, and placed it in front of the Emperor.

"I’ve entered the first password," Zhao Zhibing said.

"I’ll enter the second one; this time we’ll use two nuclear bombs, and we must obliterate these trash monsters," said the Emperor.

Ding!

A soft female voice rang out on the screen:

"Destruction One and Destruction Two will ascend in thirty seconds."

"Target: Satellite-positioned coordinates."

"Countdown begins."

Everyone lapsed into silence, quietly waiting for the moment to arrive.

Xia Huilan suddenly said, "Don’t launch."

She held a laptop in one hand and typed rapidly on the keyboard with the other, continuing to speak:

"Since just now, the spatial position of that island has been twisting and blurring—they must have taken defensive measures."

Immediately, the Emperor said, "Abort the launch, send a drone fleet to fly over the island and check the situation."

"Yes," Zhao Zhibing said.

A holographic image hovered in the great council hall, displaying the situation on the island.

Before long.

Drones flew over the island, heading towards the central castle.

Under the gaze of all present, the drone fleet suddenly flickered and vanished without a trace.

"They’ve been teleported!"

Zhao Zhibing said.

On the screen, dozens of small windows split off, each displaying the location of one drone.

They appeared randomly around the world.

Satan, with arms crossed, said:

"A space-based large-scale barrier Array, quite a high-level defense mechanism—It seems this is their way of defense—if I could exert all my power, there might be a chance to break the Array."

Only then did everyone snap out of it.

Right.

The Soul Power of the world was rising, and all beings could rise along with it.

But Arrays and weapons of that sort were not restricted!

"So they really are tough, just hunkering down without moving, waiting to reap the world after three days." Wu Xiaode also crossed his arms and said.

"What do we do?" asked Zhao Junyu.

Satan glanced at him and said, "The last person who should ask that question is you."

"Me?" Zhao Junyu was taken aback.

Gjestastav took over the conversation and said, "You’ve awakened so many abilities all at once; you’re the most promising newcomer and should immediately gather your spirits and strive to uncover the power within yourself."

"Is there hope?" Zhao Junyu asked.

"The fight hasn’t even started; who knows about winning or losing? Maybe you could beat them up someday." Wu Xiaode said with a slight smile.

The words of Wu Xiaode, Gjestastav, and Satan gave everyone a boost of confidence.

The Emperor suddenly spoke:

"That—Respected Demon God Satan."

Satan turned to look at him.

"It seems that I’m restrained by many things, so much so that my body is weak and I can’t awaken my power. Do you see any way to awaken it?" the Emperor said with distress.

Satan glanced at him and chuckled:

"Generally speaking, you lot imprisoned in the sin jail are all heinous criminals from the outside world—and since you can be an emperor here, naturally, you’ve got some skills. Alright, I’ll help you out."

The Emperor took off the central neural helmet and asked sincerely, "Thank you, Your Excellency. What do you think I need to prepare?"

"You don’t need to prepare anything, but I need a bit of Gjestastav’s blood to cast a Blood Curse—Dragon Blood would be best," Satan said.

"No problem. I can spare a bit of blood," Gjestastav said.

The Emperor was overjoyed, repeatedly saying, "What do the two of you need for your cultivation? I will support you fully."

"Gold," said Satan.

"Jewels," Gjestastav said.

"Just gold and jewels?" the Emperor was stunned.

"The truth of the world, just like gold, is simple and unadorned, yet powerful," Satan said indifferently.

"Right, these are solid assets," Gjestastav said with a laugh.

Satan looked around at everyone and said, "Now everyone else should also find ways to increase their strength. Remember, we only have three days."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhao Zhibing patted Zhao Junyu on the shoulder and said seriously, "Follow me."

"Okay, Sister," Zhao Junyu replied.

The two headed toward the side hall.

Wu Xiaode also looked at the few people beside him.

Xiao Baihong gave a gentle smile and said, "I’ll go first—if there’s anything, call me."

In a flash of wind,

He vanished from the hall.

Qian Mingkui also approached Wu Xiaode, speaking in a low voice, "I’ll take my daughter to meet her stepmother first, then try to secure more support in Holy City. See if I can bring a group with me for a brawl when the time comes."

Wu Xiaode felt a deep respect welling up within him.

In the Holy City, there were four major organizations. After the dwarf and long-haired man who led two of them were killed by him, their organizations disbanded.

Now, only the "Skywalking Divine Bird" and "Trash Yard" remained.

Qian Mingkui had cozied up to the daughter of the leader of "Skywalking Divine Bird," leaping to become the organization’s second in command.

The leader of "Trash Yard" was the old crone, also known as a Law Divine Beast, alongside Deng Hou.

With the Divine Beast absent, only Deng Hou was left.

That is to say, Deng Hou stood by his side and could lend support to Qian Mingkui.

This young man, upon his return to the Holy City, wouldn’t he be second only to one, above tens of thousands?

A nickname was a rule force that transcended strength.

—Right, a nickname!

"This idea is brilliant! Elder Qian, the hope of saving the world rests on you!" Wu Xiaode said.

"Ah? Huh?"

Qian Mingkui looked at him blankly, somewhat confused.

"You take your daughter to meet her stepmother first, and once everything is settled, I will have all the professionals in this world go to the Holy City to see if they can obtain a nickname," Wu Xiaode said.

Upon hearing this, Qian Mingkui also became excited.

The power of a nickname was at the Law Level, which could completely ignore 50 points of Soul Power!

"Good, I’ll take care of it right away and contact you later," he said quickly.

"Go ahead," Wu Xiaode said.

Qian Mingkui leapt into the sky and turned into a giant eagle as he flew away.

Moments later, Satan and Gjestastav had already left with the emperor to discuss the emperor’s Awakening.

In the great hall, only Xia Huilan, Xia Ni, and Wu Xiaode remained.

Xia Huilan handed a metallic hilt to Wu Xiaode.

"Sister Lan, what is this?"

Wu Xiaode asked with curiosity.

"The handle of the Ying Yuan Sword, the previous one was ordinary, this brand-new handle has a concentrative function," Xia Huilan explained.

She demonstrated to him how to change the handle and then said,

"’Concentration’ will gather all the force on the blade at one point, and you can choose to release it or keep it contained for now."

"Understood," Wu Xiaode said.

Xia Huilan hugged him.

"Even though it was only one night, I feel like it’s been a long time since I last saw you," she said softly.

"Sister Lan, you missed me," Wu Xiaode whispered.

Xia Huilan’s cheeks turned red.

"Mm, do your best. I have to study something new too—there are so many ideas in my head," she said.

She stepped out of Wu Xiaode’s embrace, flashed him a smile, and left the great hall with Xia Ni.

The great hall was then left with only Wu Xiaode.

He glanced at the Void.

Two lines of icy small characters emerged in the air:

"’Limited Invincibility’ is in effect."

"Remaining time: 17:59."

—A great opportunity.

While this boost was still in effect, why not undertake the classical Death Trial, and break through the level 30 barrier in one fell swoop!

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts stirred.

Boundless solitude Demon Mist surged in, completely enveloping him.
