Chapter 1128: Chapter 779: Analysis

In the beginning, Li Changhe thought Xiao Yun was going to inquire about the matters of the Great Tang Chenhai Capital Protectorate. To his surprise, she took out a small stone statue.

The small stone statue in Xiao Yun’s hands was exquisite. It was clearly the work of a highly skilled craftsman.

It depicted a ponytailed girl wearing a trench coat and holding a Mo Blade. The girl’s features and the details on the blade were both intricately carved.

According to Xiao Yun, in the cities of that world, statues of several legendary heroes stood tall.

Among them, there was a female hero known as ’Li Ba.’

Because the elves of that world greatly supported this hero, her statue was particularly finely made.

Thus, when players from Great Tang entered that world and discovered this, they gathered information about this hero who shared the same name as their general.

Xiao Yun was one of the players from Great Tang who had entered that world. She specifically contacted elven players and collected quite a few statues, making a handsome profit for the elven players.

Now, upon meeting Li Changhe, she had a certain expectation as she initiated her inquiry with the general.

Well, this girl, Li Changhe was very familiar with... after all, that was himself in a Reversed State.

In the [Moonlit Divine Tree] instance, Li Changhe had once attacked in a Reversed State and triumphantly breached the strongest elven navy in that world.

As he was about to leave upon completing the task, Li Changhe suddenly remembered that the world had a tradition of erecting hero statues. So, a few seconds before leaving, Li Changhe intended to remind them not to leave behind any traces of himself.

It seemed the message was not conveyed properly, or maybe... Well, Xiao Ye was truly a cunning child raised by Chen Guang! Waiting here for himself, indeed?

Li Changhe thought, if he had the chance, he definitely needed to give Xiao Ye a hard time in that world!

On the surface, however, he calmly said, "I don’t know her."

The face under the Azure Flame mask was one of utter misery; this was a social death in progress. The Reversed State was Li Changhe’s most closely guarded secret, one he never wanted to be discovered. That the Great Tang players had caught onto his disguise was... utterly humiliating. But fortunately, all he had to do was deny it.

Xiao Yun then said in a low voice, "But the elven players in that world also mentioned having seen the Great Tang Expeditionary Army..."

Li Changhe responded indifferently, "Hmph, it’s all the Evil God’s conspiracy!"

"But..." Xiao Yun thought, the Mo Blade on the statue and the weapon you were just using are exactly the same, General.

"It’s the Evil God’s conspiracy!" Li Changhe responded again, "Since you are an official of the Great Tang Inspectorate, you should be aware of such heretical tricks. Don’t be deceived."

"Yes," Xiao Yun could only give up on her inquiry, feeling somewhat disappointed. She had secretly gathered quite a few of these statues after discovering them.

As the most dazzling hero of Great Tang, even with the growing numbers of Great Tang players and the emergence of some dissatisfaction with General Li Ba within, particularly with the rise of the Second Empire and officials claiming that General Li Ba had betrayed Great Tang.

But Xiao Yun clearly wasn’t among them. Just like most people of Great Tang, they always held Li Ba in reverence. Knowing the little secret of General Li Ba thrilled Xiao Yun. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get to the bottom of it.

Meanwhile, in Li Changhe’s mind, Yun Ting was laughing heartily.

She never minded stirring up trouble. She even suggested that Li Changhe ask Xiao Yun for a statue, saying it’d be good to keep as a memento, and that Xiao Nan would certainly love it too.

Li Changhe didn’t pay her any mind, instead turning his gaze towards Wuji in the distance.

Ever since the four of them were trapped under the pile of falling rocks, the bronze sword behind Wuji faintly flickered.

And Wuji himself had been silent all along, obviously communicating with it.

"The Xuanyuan Divine Sword indeed possesses self-consciousness... the Yinglong Sequence, the sword bearer of Xuanyuan... truly the Son of Destiny," Li Changhe thought to himself.

Wuji’s name had never appeared on the Battle Power Rankings. Just now, Li Changhe had also asked Brother Dong and the girl, who said the officials had not received much information about Wuji either. They only knew he was a member of a medium-sized player organization.

This guy keeps a very low profile, a real schemer at that. It makes sense, given how the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is undoubtedly a mythical piece of equipment. If discovered, he himself would not be safe. There is quite a bit of killing for loot among players. If someone were to find him before he grew stronger, the sword might well change hands.

Meanwhile, Wuji just happened to look up and asked, "I wonder what General Li Ba thinks of our meeting this time?"

Whether Wuji’s current appearance was altered or not, he looked quite ordinary, yet he exuded a peaceful aura.

"Opinions?" Li Changhe was slightly taken aback by the thought, and replied, "Are you suggesting that our meeting is not accidental?"

"Very likely," Wuji said earnestly, "Sword Brother also mentioned that we should not have met. According to Sword Brother, if the two of us were to meet, one of us would fall. This is the animosity inscribed in the inheritance. Just like before, even though neither of us had hostile intentions, we would be pushed toward a certain predetermined ending. These are invisible commands imprinted in the void, a continuation and recreation of the Mythical Battlefield. Were it not for Big Iron Pestle’s intervention, we might have already bashed each other’s brains out."

"A continuation and recreation of myth? That’s the first time I’ve heard that," Li Changhe said with a laugh after thinking it over. "Does that mean if we fought, I would undoubtedly die?"

In the mythology of Hua Country, the General Ancestor Chiyou was defeated by Yinglong and Human Ancestor.

Should that be reenacted, wouldn’t Li Changhe be doomed to follow the old ancestor’s path and be cut into hundreds of pieces by Wuji who possesses the Yinglong Sequence and the Xuanyuan Divine Sword?

Wuji waved his hand and said, "General, you’re overthinking it. I don’t have that much confidence either."

The bronze sword behind Wuji, however, let out an indifferent laugh, seemingly foreseeing the outcome.

Wow, this Xuanyuan Divine Sword sure has quite the temper.

It makes one wonder whether Old Lead could take a bite of it.

Li Changhe glanced at the inconspicuous bronze sword and silently judged it to himself.

He then said, "However, I saw the projections of Ancestor Chiyou and Xuanyuan getting along quite well. I didn’t expect their inheritances to possess such animosity."

Wuji was startled, his expression changing slightly. At the same time, the bronze sword behind him glowed faintly.

"General, have you seen both ancestors?" Wuji inquired; even as the current bearer of the Xuanyuan Sword, he had not made contact with the Human Ancestor.

"Indeed, in a certain world..." Seeing Xia Yun’s hopeful expression, Li Changhe immediately changed the subject, "Anyway, the Divinity Projection of Xuanyuan helped me remove the Book of Heaven’s branding. Afterward, the revived Ancestor Chiyou returned to the Real World. You probably know that as well."

Li Changhe briefly explained the process, of course, skipping many details.

"I didn’t expect that General Ancestor was invited back by you, General. No wonder you possess the Jiuli Sequence," Wuji said with a look of surprise, then asked, "However, the Book of Heaven..."

At this moment, the voice of the bronze sword resonated faintly: "I see... the Book of Heaven... branding... erasure..."

"It seems you have become the greatest variable in the Book of Heaven."

"They want to use us to eliminate you."
