Chapter 348: Chapter 309: Destruction Council!

The first step was for Xiao Baihong to transform into a Bright Ghost, take a trip to the Death World and return;

The second step involved using the Token given by Satan to teleport into the deepest part of the Demon God Secret Path, activating the Desert Sword on the Ancient puppet’s body, transporting to three years before the puppet’s rebellion in the Past Epoch;

The third step was to initiate "Cross-time Resonance."

—— Plan succeeded!

Wu Xiaode stood on the desert outside a small town on the border of Wusi Country, filled with pride.

He had thought of this method himself.

It was simply genius.

He released the Demon Mist to obscure the surroundings, then pressed his hand against the Book of the Dead and shouted in a low voice:

"Cross-time Resonance!"

Boom.

With a soft sound, Xiao Baihong, wearing a wide black trench coat, appeared on the sand dunes.

Under the scorching sun.

He furrowed his brow, gently rubbing his chest.

—— For the trip to the Death World, Xiaode had stabbed him, nearly killing him as he was on the brink of death.

"Well, this is the last epoch,"

Wu Xiaode excitedly explained.

It worked!

He had managed to summon Xiao Baihong from the future!

The "Shadow Followers" were still at the basic level, so he could only have one follower for now.

Once this skill was upgraded, he could summon everyone to train in the Ancient Era. Would they still be afraid of the immortals then?

Xiao Baihong opened a black umbrella to shield himself from the intense sun and looked determinedly toward the nearby border town.

"The past eras were so desolate? I don’t think they were all that,"

he said with some disdain.

Suddenly, a roar erupted in the sky.

A gigantic Galaxy Mother Ship leading a dense swarm of shuttles crossed the desert airspace, heading deep into Wusi Country.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight huge Mobile Battle Armors, each tens of meters tall, trudged through the other end of the desert and soon disappeared from their sight.

"I take back what I just said,"

Xiao Baihong murmured after watching for a while.

A few minutes later.

The two stood on the streets of Sare Town.

"An S-level club?"

Xiao Baihong looked at the bar’s sign and said with a smirk,

"Yes, this is the base I set up in this era," Wu Xiaode answered.

"I never thought we’d have a base in the past eras," Xiao Baihong reflected.

"There’s still so much to do; we need a base to facilitate operations—come on, let’s go in for a drink, I’ll introduce you to a couple of people," Wu Xiaode suggested.

The two walked into the bar ostentatiously.

As soon as they entered, a surprised female voice immediately erupted from behind the bar:

"Huh? Brother Wu, you’re back!"

"Where’s Feixue?"

"She is pregnant, feeling a bit tired, resting upstairs."

"Oh," Wu Xiaode laughed: "How long was I gone?"

Not to cause concern, but upon asking, Christina pouted, expressing her frustration:

"Several hours, I was worried something had happened to you."

Just a few hours.

It seems his timing was pretty good.

"Don’t worry, I went to pick up a friend—this is Xiao Baihong, Elder Xiao, this is Christina." Wu Xiaode introduced.

"Hello." Xiao Baihong looked at the stunning beauty across from her, nodding her head with reserved politeness and a smile.

— Little Wu, you really are something!

While others hide their ladies in villas, he opted to keep one in the last Epoch.

Stylish.

But...

Could such a delicate beauty really handle a place like the "S-level Club," which belonged to the Awakeners?

"Xiao Baihong, right? Since you’re a friend of Brother Wu, what would you like to drink? I’ll mix one for you." Christina greeted her warmly.

"Anything is fine, just no hard liquor, or I won’t be able to resist the urge to kill people—lots of people."

Xiao Baihong said with a teasing smile.

"Ah, that’s totally normal, then let’s go with something light," Christina said matter-of-factly.

Xiao Baihong glanced at her, seeing her poised and mixing drinks.

—What’s with this girl?

Wu Xiaode held back his laughter and explained, "Christina is from the Enchanting Demon Clan, and she’s killed a variety of villains."

—Xiao Baihong is an enthusiastic combat fanatic, some say a lunatic, a lot of people find it hard to get along with him.

But Christina is an Enchanting Demon.

Enchanting Demons tread through All Worlds, have seen countless lunatics, and are skilled at manipulating minds. Naturally, she thought Xiao Baihong was "totally normal."

Later on, once he had leveled up his "Shadow Followers" and brought over Zhao Junyu, who had become "hard-hearted,"

Everyone was crazy.

That would make things even more fun.

"An Enchanting Demon, you say? Fantastic, I’ve always been unclear about the differences between Demons and humans. Can you explain it to me?" Xiao Baihong asked.

Christina handed him a drink and pondered:

"Well, Demon flesh is thicker, and when you kill them, it feels like you’re slaughtering more than two humans at the same time. You get the analogy, right?"

"Interesting, I’ve always felt that human flesh is too fragile to inspire higher passion," Xiao Baihong remarked.

"Then you should really try killing a few Demons. Trust me, it feels even better," Christina suggested with a smile.

—She could tell that this man was truly interested in killing.

That’s great.

A pure person, without any base thoughts, someone who just enjoyed killing—what’s wrong with that?

He deserved to be a friend of Brother Wu.

"Is their bone structure any different from humans?" Xiao Baihong continued.

Christina handed Wu Xiaode a drink and happily engaged in conversation:

"There are many differences, let me tell you..."

She was wearing a uniform tagged with "Seek Truth, Innovate" and spoke enthusiastically about slaughter, chattering away in conversation mode.

Xiao Baihong listened, nodding his head in fascination.

Wu Xiaode took a sip of his drink, set it down, and said with a smile:

"You two keep talking, we’ll have lunch together at noon. I need to go handle some things. I’ll be back later."

Xiao Baihong immediately exited conversation mode, asking alertly, "Do you need help?"

"No need," Wu Xiaode replied.

"When can I start training?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"No rush, we’ve got an entire Epoch to train," Wu Xiaode replied.

Xiao Baihong was momentarily taken aback, then realized.

Right.

This is a past era.

His time was no longer just three days but a vast Epoch.

Wu Xiaode waved goodbye to Christina and walked out of the bar.

The door to the bar closed.

Christina took out a crystal-clear blue gemstone and gently crushed it.

A light full of enchanting colors rose from the crushed gemstone, merging into her delicate body.

"Keep it up, Xiao Baihong. Let’s try to catch up with Brother Wu’s pace."

She closed her eyes, quietly absorbing the power from the gemstone.

"Is he very strong now?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"Of course, Brother Wu is one of the most powerful humans I’ve ever met," Christina said.

"I see."

Xiao Baihong spread his hand open.

Tiny Wind Blades rapidly spun in the palm of his hand.

——Let’s start training from now on!

...

Wu Xiaode walked out of the bar.

He stood on the street outside, pausing for several moments, then suddenly dashed in one direction at high speed.

A few minutes later.

He stood on a sand dune, facing one direction.

The Void flashed.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, like blurred lingering shadows vanishing one after another.

The sky turned red.

One after another, human-shaped shadows appeared.

These shadows lined up in rows, circling in the sky, as if separated by the distance of a billion worlds, gazing at Wu Xiaode from afar.

Soon after.

A solemn bald man appeared in front of Wu Xiaode.

——Nanxuan Fist God!

It was he who provided the contract that trapped the Divine beings, helping Wu Xiaode to reduce the Divine beings to only one point of Soul Power in the future.

Wu Xiaode looked at Nanxuan Fist God, his face showing gratitude.

The expressions of all the human-shaped shadows in mid-air captured his look.

"You... completed the task?"

Nanxuan Fist God asked tentatively.

"Hmm," Wu Xiaode nodded heavily, "Thanks to the method you provided, I tricked all the Divine beings."

Nanxuan Fist God hesitated, "Now there is an issue, and you must answer seriously."

"Please speak."

"We can sense that you have indeed fulfilled the contract, but... why has the order in the heavens not changed at all?"

"Ah, you’re talking about that," Wu Xiaode suddenly realized.

The other party thought he had released that contract in this time-space, restricting the Divine beings.

How should he explain to this Destruction Council and turn the situation in his favor?

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, then said:

"Actually, there is already chaos in the heavens."

"Yes, it’s contradictory. We detected that the power was successfully released, but it seems like the power in the heavens hasn’t changed at all," Nanxuan Fist God said.

The surrounding human-shaped shadows nodded one by one.

Wu Xiaode said, "The Divine beings are doomed, they’re reincarnating as humans, but those governing affairs in the heavens are no longer Divine beings."

"What are they then?"

"Puppets, or Guardian Gods—they are powerful Immortal Artificial Intelligence created by the Divine beings based on human artificial intelligence, and they are handling everything in the heavens."

All around, there was silence.

The human-shaped shadows in mid-air all stared at Wu Xiaode.

A wooden staff fell from the sky, caught by Nanxuan Fist God in his hand, pointing to Wu Xiaode.

Nanxuan Fist God spoke sternly, "This is the Scepter of Destruction, which discerns truth from lies. If what you say is false, it will immediately extinguish your body and soul, and no one can save you."

Wu Xiaode’s expression was calm.

Damn it, as if I could lie?

The Queen Mother reincarnating, the gods descending to the Lower Realm, and the uprising of the puppets in three years— all were witnessed by me!

——Even if I wanted to lie, I couldn’t!

Wu Xiaode sighed, stood tall, and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, the Divine beings have indeed descended to reincarnate, and the heavens are actually managed by the Guardian Gods, the puppets."

Nanxuan Fist God asked, "Then, what impact did our prepared technique have on the heavenly realm?"

Wu Xiaode was silent for a moment.

Since he could not lie—

He had to speak the truth!

Wu Xiaode said, "The Divine beings are furious, summoning the Law Divine Beasts, forcibly changing the world settings, allowing the limit of Soul Power to increase by 50 points every seven days."

In mid-air, immediately a series of whispers erupted.

"What!"

"I can’t believe they came up with that!"

"This is troublesome."

"Yes, having Immortal Artificial Intelligence and even the Law Divine Beasts intervening."

"The Scepter of Destruction is silent; it seems what he said is true."

"..."

Nanxuan Fist God looked at the staff in his hand.

The staff did not move at all.

What the other party said was indeed true.

His expression relaxed, he loosened his grip, and the staff instantly flew up into the sky, disappearing from sight.

Suddenly.

A distorted shadow fell from the sky, smashing into the ground.

The person within the shadow screamed frantically:

"He’s telling the truth! The heavens are full of puppets! They’re too powerful, save me——"

The words had barely finished.

The figure exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist that drifted away.

Wu Xiaode’s mouth twitched.

Why did you provoke those puppets?

They are even stronger than immortals!

Nanxuan Fist God’s face changed, unable to refrain from saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, our best scout has died."

Suddenly a cold voice echoed:

"We saw."

Wu Xiaode looked up, only to see a blood-colored shadow.

The shadow also looked at Wu Xiaode, asking:

"You’re called..."

"Wu Xiaode. You can also call me Little Wu," Wu Xiaode responded with a friendly smile.

"Little Wu, you have made such a great contribution, well done, you deserve a reward," the blood-colored shadow said flatly.

"To defeat those puppets— that’s all my duty," Wu Xiaode earnestly said.

The blood-colored shadow paused for several moments, then spoke again:

"Very well... what should I reward you with, given that your achievement is the best we have in this world?"

"Reward? I don’t fancy anything else, please help me defeat them!"

Wu Xiaode gripped his fist, once again saying sincerely.
