Chapter 1348: Chapter 946: Harvest (3K)

The future scene abruptly ceased and disappeared into the sky above Yanyun’s northern suburb. This left the players somewhat bewildered.

"What... what happened next?"

"I just saw the Human Emperor slap the Nordic King three times. What came after that?"

"Don’t know, I only saw the human demigods storming into the world, and then nothing."

"What I saw was the missing human army returning, battling against the Nordic heroic spirit army. Engineers scooping out the guts of cattle, horses, ghosts, and gods!"

"Damn it, Evolution Game is a freaking story-chopper too!"

"I suggest making story-chopping a criminal offense!"

Players fiercely complained, extremely foul-mouthed. They were clearly very dissatisfied with the missing future scenes. They were very worried about what might happen next, and Evolution Game had cut off at the last moment, infuriating the players.

Even the official demigods within the Void Defense were taken aback with a cold intake of breath.

Li Changhe, however, remained silent. What he had seen... was his future self. The one who had been lost in the Endless Void for over a decade. As soon as he emerged, he dealt a severe blow to the demigods.

"My future self... has he really become that strong?" Li Changhe whispered.

The power to attack all divinities single-handedly, that intimidating strength was truly terrifying.

Moreover... that last arrow he shot towards the true god seemed to even make the true god emotionally moved. Using bones as arrows, targeting divinities... he had finally reached that point.

Eventually, his future self seemed to peer through time and space, making eye contact with himself.

Even just through a picture, Li Changhe could feel his different temperament from himself. Even though they were the same person, time had refined him and brought about amazing changes.

Mature and reliable, is this what they call growth?

"Indeed," Yun Ting replied, "The you from that timeline is more mature and proficient than you are now. Remember, he’s been fighting for over twenty more years than you. Even when he was out of contact, he never rested. In the end, he turned into that sliver of flame that illuminated despair. Turned into... the returning hero!"

"Let’s hope so. The way Evolution Game chopped the story leaves us unable to see the future unfolding. I just hope that the young girl can survive safely," Li Changhe responded.

"The future of humanity has returned; that young girl’s power as the Human Emperor will be greatly enhanced, and her combat strength might rival that of a true god," Chen Yu responded from the side, "Plus, with the return of the ancestor, humanity is at least not likely to get any worse."

"And those who strike against humanity will also face humanity’s most brutal retaliation," Xiao Nan added.

Li Changhe nodded.

One thing he did know was that his future self would indeed dab a few more walls. Even more mature and steady, Li Changhe would ultimately be Li Changhe.

As the future scenes completely vanished, the mission of the Catastrophe Mirror of Time and Space also concluded.

The mission completion panels also started to appear in the consciousness of all participating players.

[Mission Complete: Mirror of Time and Space]

[Mission Objective: Suppress Catastrophe][Completed][Contribution: 10.002%]

[Mission Reward 2: Game Currency 800]

[Due to your extremely high contribution, unlock the fourth reward. Choose one legendary treasure.]

[Choice Four: Legendary-quality Secret Treasure, Pointed General Banner][Summon all allies within the same world, all heroes willing to fight alongside you will appear under the banner][As the banner waves, heroes gather]

"Very good," Li Changhe thought to himself.

A contribution rate of around 10% was actually extremely terrifying. Given that thousands of players participated in this catastrophe, Li Changhe’s share of a tenth was indeed staggering. It was also an acknowledgement of Li Changhe and Li Luoling holding back three demigods.

At the same time, the rewards given were very generous. Four kinds of legendary treasures to choose from were indeed terrifying.

As for the demigods’ loot...

The original bodies of the demigods, Yuan Li’s body had been burned to ash, leaving only fragments of bones. Due to the soul-corroding effect of the Chaos Evil God, the officials directly destroyed it.

And Nine Youths’ skeleton was burned, Li Changhe and Li Luoling each took some parts, planning to break them down themselves or give them to friends, perhaps creating a God Sin.

And the rest, which couldn’t fit, were given to the participating players and officials. Considered as a benefit from this mission.

Some lucky players managed to extract divinity and bragged about it until jealous players pinned them to the ground and roughed them up.

As for Emperor Biluo... he ended up on the wall. Some players cried out about the waste and then went forward to scrape the wall. They’re still scraping it now.

This reward, however, gave Li Changhe the opportunity to obtain some nice items.

But his choices were actually quite limited.

The dark matter weapons and Chaos of Emperor Biluo were intended to be used with his Titan. After scanning the offered rewards, Li Changhe realized that even if he obtained them, they would be of no use to him.

The officials didn’t need them either, as they had already obtained the physical objects of the God Slaying Flare and the Black Hole Bomb, and were in the process of studying them.

As for the Chaos God Yuan Li, even though it possessed a God Sin, it wasn’t compatible with Li Changhe. He and Wuji had killed Yuan Li, so why would the latter’s God Sin cooperate with him?

Moreover, what Li Changhe really wanted was the World Burning Demonic Flames of the Nine Youths Demigod!

That terrifying flame, capable of burning a demigod’s body, was something Li Changhe urgently needed. Combined with his molecular self-healing, Li Changhe could maximize the power of the Magic Flame! Moreover, once this flame ignited, it was difficult to extinguish by conventional means. It would be quite useful for wreaking havoc behind enemy lines.

Thus, Li Changhe chose his spoils of war. Nine Youths - World Burning Magic Flame Seed!

The magic flame seed was placed in the horn of the Ghost Valley magical treasure, controlled by Yun Ting.

Then, it was time to choose the secret treasure.

Sheepskin Paper was no longer necessary. Li Changhe’s own combat output was already sufficient.

The Electronic God Right Eye had a great effect. With it, Li Changhe could become the most powerful hacker.

But he would have to remove one of his own eyes first, and it was possible that the residual consciousness in the right eye could affect him.

Forget about that. He became reckless instead. Moreover, Li Changhe did not like physical modifications. Besides, with molecular-level recovery, what modification could he possibly need?

The Break Realm Shuttle, the most effective escape method for individual use. Even if the Escape Coin failed, Li Changhe could leave the task world through this means.

But... the random destination was too dangerous.

Considering his unbelievably bad luck, Li Changhe worried that he might end up in some uninhabitable hellhole.

Of course, if the Big Iron Pestle were nearby, it wouldn’t be impossible to end up directly in front of the Blood River. He was just that kind of entity.

Tch... not considering that anymore. Besides, it only accommodated one person; if it allowed more, Li Changhe might consider it.

That left only one last option, the Pointed General Banner!

Summoning all allies within the same world was precisely Li Changhe’s combat style.

To put it simply, calling for backup!

Li Changhe had already imagined the scene of himself waving the flag and countless powerful fighters besieging the enemy. Ah, exhilarating!

Overall, this mission was highly rewarding.

All the players received their due rewards. Especially those who were killed in the future; if they succeeded in avenging their future selves during this mission, the rewards would be even more substantial. Several powerful individuals on the official side successfully avenged themselves and reaped huge rewards.

Li Changhe’s friends also gained a lot.

Xiao Nan acquired a piece of legendary quality defensive gear, and Chen Yu obtained several floating defense cannons.

He Feng received the Dragon General Armor Removal, and Moon God acquired an epic God Sin. All very nice.

Simultaneously, the future was altered, leaving only the struggle against Annihilation.

Since both sides had acquired future intelligence, it was a matter of individual actions.

Overall, humanity was at a disadvantage. After all, if islands emerged, humanity would still have to deploy forces to prolong the war at sea.

However, if they could develop Chen Yu’s future method of summoning back human powerhouses, perhaps they could turn the entire battle around.

Unfortunately, there was still no clue. With over twenty years of discrepancies, even Chen Yu himself had no idea.

It all depends on future research. Perhaps during contacts with Annihilation, more intelligence could be gathered.

"And the next mission that will contact Annihilation is the ninety-nine cities," said Chen Yu: "Given the high casualties this time, many of the powerful fighters who were supposed to enter the ninety-nine cities need to be replaced. I’ve been added in. I plan to look for the method that the future me found out. Luckily, according to Xiaoling’s intelligence, this mission in the ninety-nine cities is not particularly dangerous."

In the intelligence obtained by Li Luoling, the risk level of this mission in the ninety-nine cities wasn’t high. After all, that world had already been beaten into a mess.

Humans, Annihilation, Chaos, Different Race. Almost all were fighting.

Moreover, the Different Race and Chaos were also engaged in civil wars, and there were even cases of humans and Chaos allying to fight against Annihilation, then beating each other senseless.

In such scenarios, it was difficult to engage in large-scale warfare. The main focus was still the strategic moves of each party.

Because many official organizations wanted to influence other cities during the mission to gain certain benefits.

"Of course, one still needs to be careful. The future has already changed. We can’t completely rely on future intelligence. So, Li, you’d better prepare yourself," Chen Yu seriously reminded.

"I know, I won’t take any task lightly," Li Changhe responded: "With a few days left, I plan to go practice a bit, that ’using bones as arrows’... I might be able to master it ahead of time."

"Damn, just thinking about it hurts. The pain multiplied by dozens of times..."
