Chapter 1079: Chapter 730 Task Completed

The insect god survived as she wished. She didn’t have much choice.

Li Changhe really wanted to kill her, as an enemy of humanity that had killed so many humans.

Only by killing her completely could Li Changhe leave the plot world with peace of mind, leaving his own Xuan City and the Great Tang Protectorate.

At this moment, aside from lifting the concealment of her divinity, the insect god had no other means of resistance.

Even if she summoned the Chaos army of the Blood River, it would take them quite some time to descend onto the world, and they would have to face the Great Tang Expeditionary Army before they could capture her.

In that time, she could be evenly spread across the walls of Xuan City by Li Changhe.

In order to survive, she chose to agree to become a Demigod under Li Er.

However, the price was that she would henceforth face the enemies of Chaos on behalf of humanity.

And she had to feed Old Lead properly.

This made the insect god feel extremely suffocated, as a divine existence with extraordinary strength.

She even possessed enough power to threaten many Chaos Evil Gods, if not for being defeated by an enemy ten thousand years ago and then forced to hide in an iceberg, greatly diminishing her strength. She would never have fallen to such straits.

Let alone, under such humiliating circumstances, provide divinity as fodder to a peculiar God Sin.

But she had no other choice.

The insect god looked at the man known as General Li Ba in front of her and said faintly, "Meeting you is my greatest misfortune."

Li Changhe grinned, and Old Lead in his hands also revealed a kind smile.

The next second, the insect god released some of her scarce divinity to Old Lead. As expected, it was devoured by Old Lead in one gulp.

It must be said, she was worthy of being the insect god.

Even after being bitten three times by Old Lead, she could still conceal the divine fluctuation of the Blood River. But inevitably, she entered a sleeping state.

Before closing her eyes, she looked at Li Changhe and said, "Don’t you wonder... who was the enemy that defeated me ten thousand years ago?"

"Would you tell me?" Li Changhe retorted.

"Hahaha... It’s Annihilation. If They are still alive, They will probably find you soon," said the insect god with a low chuckle.

Seeing Xiao Nan and Chen Yu’s expressions change slightly, the insect god seemed to have regained some composure, closing her eyes satisfactorily. The growths at her lower body also started to throb very slowly.

Since this was not entirely safe, Xiao Nan released his Authority.

A gigantic water dragon surged out of Xuan Lake, circled in the air, and then plunged headfirst into the Bottom Nest. It enveloped the entire frozen battlefield, turning into an even more rigid Iceberg.

"Under low temperature conditions, the insect god’s body and divinity become much less active. It’s also harder to detect. She hid in the iceberg years ago to escape from a powerful enemy. Forced into a passive slumber until she was discovered and researched by the humans on Mysterious Island, which you visited. Only then did she manage to break free. However, her strength was greatly diminished as a result. If she were in her prime, we probably wouldn’t be able to get past her army of insects," Xiao Nan reached out to pat the Iceberg: "We can consider ourselves lucky."

"What exactly is the Annihilation she spoke of?" Li Changhe asked in a low voice.

"It’s a collective term for a world that wants to invade the Real World. They are also old adversaries on the Black Great Wall Defense Line. However, my clearance isn’t high enough to know too much. Colleagues with higher levels are currently guarding the Black Great Wall," Xiao Nan also responded quietly: "Perhaps, this is also the main reason why Ancestor Chiyou returned to the Real World? I’ve heard that after the Ancestor’s return, the defensive pressure on the Great Wall has lessened a lot."

Ancestor? I heard he’s busy feeding pandas.

Should make time to visit him. They say Chen Guang is having a lot of fun playing with the Ancestor...

Being an Extraordinary Soldier and also a successor of the Jiuli Sequence, it’s only right to pay a visit.

As for Annihilation... before reaching a higher level, Li Changhe shouldn’t worry about that.

Li Changhe thought to himself and said to the soldiers beside him, "Always keep an eye on the damage to the Iceberg. Before the strength of the Great Tang arrives, no one is allowed near the Iceberg. Several battle groups will take turns guarding the Iceberg to ensure it remains undamaged."

"Affirmative," the soldiers saluted and followed the command. A battle group was stationed on the spot—dozens of queen-level armored warriors, hundreds of pseudo-armored warriors, and thousands of Auxiliary Army soldiers. They encircled the Iceberg tightly.

Then, Li Changhe glanced at Old Lead. After devouring the insect god’s divinity several times, Old Lead’s repair level had reached 90%.

Wonder who the unlucky ones will be for the remaining ten percent?

"Alright, everything is settled. It’s time for us to go back," Li Changhe thought and said to Hou Junji, "Since I’ve already informed the Great Tang that I led you to conquer the Great Tang Protectorate, the situation you feared the most will not occur. As for Li Er..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" The soldiers suddenly started coughing violently.

They had faced the aliens in battle without blinking an eye, but now it seemed as if they were attempting to cough out their lungs.

Having no other choice, given that each soldier was wearing thick armor, their faces hidden, they couldn’t give any visual cues to Li Changhe. They could only signal their general by coughing wildly or striking their chests.

After all, the emperor of Great Tang’s title... err...

After being pinched by Xiao Nan, Li Changhe came to his senses, paused, and said, "As for how His Majesty will deal with you, I can make no guarantees. You and Zhang Liang should brace yourselves. Take good care of the Protectorate and Xuan City."

"Yes, that’s more than enough," said Hou Junji as he saluted Li Changhe. "Thank you, General."

"Hmm, then, until we meet again," said Li Changhe with a flick of his finger.

The armored statue in the Inner City then burst apart, and with the gathering of the citizens’ faith, it began to restore itself.

But with the temporary destruction of the statue, Li Changhe and the others had completed their mission objective.

As the countdown ended, the soldiers watched as Li Changhe and his three companions vanished into a beam of white light.

"Farewell, General!" the soldiers saluted in farewell.
