Chapter 1339: Chapter 937: Hellsprings Reverse

Li Changhe and Yang Dong, as well as Mapo Tofu, chatted for a while and learned about the recent war.

Although the Great Wall had gained quite a bit of intelligence and even technology, it still paid a heavy price.

Seven Void Defense lines were attacked simultaneously, and many strong players from the various branches were deployed successively, suffering considerable losses.

It was rather fortunate for Yang Dong and Mapo Tofu who had only sustained physical injuries. Too many players perished or were gravely injured in the attacks by the void fleets.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for the ancestor drawing enough firepower, the number of casualties would have doubled.

This led to the Great Wall having to make changes to several of its upcoming offensive operations.

And the most recent one was the war task, Netherworld’s Ninety-Nine Cities!

Many Great Wall players who were originally supposed to participate in the Ninety-Nine Cities task were killed or injured in this war, forcing the Great Wall to alter the roster of participants.

Speaking of the Netherworld’s Ninety-Nine Cities,

It is a world very similar to the main world but with differences, containing people or objects from the main world. The time point corresponds approximately eight years later than the current main world.

The biggest difference is that the Netherworld’s Ninety-Nine Cities did not receive the favor of the Evolution Game.

And more than a decade ago, they faced an invasion.

Without the Evolution Game, the humans of that world had no idea about the existence and importance of ’points.’ They lacked the ability to construct a defense like the Black Great Wall.

Thus, in an instant, forty-three ’points’ around the globe were invaded.

The invaders included Chaos, Beastmen of the Different Race, and Annihilation. Almost all enemies came together to join in the havoc.

The forces of Chaos planned to turn it into a Chaos world that worshipped an Evil God.

Annihilation intended to develop it into a colony and to enslave all humans.

The Different Race, far more pragmatic, simply wished to completely dominate and establish a new homeland for its people.

Facing these adversaries, the human armies were nearly decimated, with over ten million soldiers falling in the early stages of the war. And later, a vast number of civilians perished in the resulting conflicts.

Human population numbers were cut in half.

Even the use of nuclear weapons and other more powerful armaments could only slow down the speed of defeat.

In less than a year, the entire world had nearly fallen.

At the same time, a large number of nuclear weapons were launched, leading to a bizarre shift in the global climate. The melting of the Arctic caused sea levels to rise drastically.

Fortunately, Chaos, Annihilation, and the Different Race were also enemies of each other. They fought amongst themselves rather than targeting humans immediately and battled each other amidst the ruins.

And during this crisis, humanity began its own salvation efforts.

They expended their last bit of strength and resources to establish giant steel cities as the final bastions of mankind, launching counterattacks against the invaders.

When players came into contact with this world, there were exactly ninety-nine such cities remaining. As the war escalated, the humans of that world absorbed the technology of the invaders and, with the help of players, managed to stabilize the front.

Hence, this world was named Netherworld’s Ninety-Nine Cities.

Before, Yang Dong and Li Changhe had said one could see a different timeline version of oneself. Maybe they were even some kind of hero.

This was where this task came into play.

Because, although this world is very similar to the main world, there are personality differences at the individual level.

Take Chen Guang for example... what kind of person is he?

He is someone who can freeload pleasure, who can deceive the ancestor to rob a train, someone who by uttering his own name, could get most major forces to put aside their prejudices and join forces to attack him... a scoundrel!

Yet in the Netherworld’s Ninety-Nine Cities, Chen Guang is a beloved commander. At the same time, he is an immensely brave warrior, leading his troops to charge at the Beastmen army, bombard the Chaos hordes, and fend off the Annihilation invasion.

So much so that the official players who inquired about this commander couldn’t help but wonder if it was just a coincidence of names. But after interacting with him, they found that it was indeed Chen Guang, and moreover, he was an upright and valiant noble warrior.

But the Chen Guang of the main world, although brave, couldn’t be further from virtuous. This realization broke the Great Wall players.

This is the difference between the two worlds.

This also made many players curious about their counterparts in the other world, really wanting to know what they were like.

Unfortunately, because of the war, that world had terrifying psychic storms. The connections between the ninety-nine cities were intermittent, making it difficult to establish communication. The Great Wall had so far only made contact with nineteen cities.

Moreover, many players discovered that their counterparts in the other world had long since died in the flames of war. Others found out that their other selves had married and had children, completely different from themselves in the main world.

Aside from appearance, it was hard to find any similarities.

Li Changhe thought to himself that if possible, he would have liked to hide away with the girl in some city and live a peaceful life in that other world.

However, even though his personality there might have been different, he guessed that he too would have been a reckless man, probably already dead as well.

"So you mean to say, for this time’s ninety-nine cities, many of the official warriors originally planned can’t participate," Li Changhe asked.

"Indeed, we’ll have to change a lot of the candidates. We can’t exactly send them into the task injured, can we?" Yang Dong replied, "So, this time we intend to invite some unofficial warriors. If there’s anyone from General Mountain who wishes to join, just let me know."

"He Feng really wants to go," Li Changhe responded, "I also want to know who his wife is. If you find out, remember to tell me."

"Sure thing. I also want to see if Dingdang Cat finally got his hands on someone," Yang Dong cracked a smile, Dingdang Cat was the deputy leader of Yanyun’s third team.

This made many Great Wall players eager to see if General Mountain could once again gain an official son-in-law.

"And this task requires players of LV10 and above, and they must be non-Demigods," Mapo Tofu added.

"In other words, among the players participating in this ninety-nine cities mission, no one will be a match for me!" Li Changhe laughed heartily, "This feels freaking awesome!"

"Too bad there are Demigods in that world, several of them in fact. Otherwise, you could have played around freely," Yang Dong said, "Chen Guang and Wuji will also take part in this task, but since it’s random teleportation, it’s very possible that you won’t meet each other until the task is over."

Li Changhe nodded, having understood most of the information.

Afterward, he greeted the two of them and got up to leave.

During this time, Xiao Nan and Chen Yu had also finished their treatments.

They were in the healing area for female players.

As the girls undergoing treatment were dressed in revealing clothing, Li Luoling could wait inside, but Li Changhe couldn’t enter.

So, he could only wait on the men’s side.

Upon learning that they had come out, he got up to take his leave.

He also wondered if Qiu Wentian had already asked some questions he shouldn’t have.

...

Meanwhile, at the same time, in the Pacific Ocean region of the Netherworld ninety-nine cities world,

a fierce battle had just ended, with countless ships destroyed.

Annihilation’s, the human ships were burning atop this expanse of water.

The entire ocean seemed aflame.

The human fleet encountered Annihilation’s fleet amidst the psychic storm.

The two sides fought bitterly, with fierce flares shooting at each other and their defensive shields sparking upon contact.

It even reached the point where humans defected to Annihilation, or vice versa.

Not until the Biluo Titan appeared was the battle forcefully halted.

In the end, relying on the psychic storm, Hellsprings Reverse escaped Annihilation’s detection, vanishing into the midst of the storm.

"Annihilation fleet, Biluo Nomad!" a human captain whispered, "You will pay the price."

On the flagship of Annihilation, the Emperor Biluo who was tending to his wounds frowned slightly.

"Quite the mightiest human fleet. Quite something indeed..."

"Hellsprings Reverse!"
