Chapter 1390: Chapter 983: Extraordinary Alliance, Supreme King

"Curse?" Li Changhe noticed Chen Yu’s haggard complexion and couldn’t help but frown, saying, "You’re not Brother Dong, are you sure it’s not serious? What exactly is the curse?"

The effect of a curse can be significant or minor. Some limit abilities or weaken certain aspects, like the now-erased Funeral Bell curse. And there are curses by the Sea Clan.

Some are troublesome destiny-type curses.

Li Changhe and Yang Dong naturally don’t care about curses. The former could dine on them thanks to Old Lead, while the latter suppressed the curse and turned it into strength.

For instance, the destiny-type curse "Meeting Dragons and Tigers" could lead nearby powerhouses to encounter the one who is cursed. If one were cursed with this on a complex battlefield, they might be worn down to death by an endless stream of strong foes.

The "Reaper’s Favor" curse on Big Iron Pestle is an even more deranged destiny-type curse. Too many victims have experienced it firsthand. Even demigods feel the urge to curse when they encounter it.

Chen Yu fell silent for a moment; she certainly couldn’t admit that she was under the Pleasure curse, intimately engaging with someone in her sleep, could she?

If one were to describe the curse’s effect, it was probably something like corrupting the soul.

If one indulged in this dream, they would never be able to distinguish between dream and reality, eventually becoming a puppet of desire.

But for a Dream Creator, it was just a bit troublesome. Once the task was over, they would find a way to resolve it.

So, with dark circles under her eyes, she waved her hand and said, "It’s no big deal, easy-peasy."

"You really are careless," Li Changhe complained. He thought that Chen Yu was being too reckless. In this dangerous world, as a player, one should be more cautious.

Chen Yu was also puzzled, not understanding why she suddenly fell under this curse.

In Li Changhe’s mind, Yun Ting remained silent; she knew somewhat what had happened. But even Brother Ting, who typically didn’t shy away from trouble, hesitated now. If she spoke up, their relationship would likely be torn apart instantly.

So, all she could do was silently rant in her mind: "Oh shit, it’s starting..."

...

The fleet’s official contact with the giant city had ended, and more than two hundred thousand civilians would be sent to the giant city in batches. Meanwhile, officers, soldiers, and the demon army would be the last to relocate there.

Those remaining were left to keep watch at the port, continuing to guard the fleet.

Now that the official matters were settled, the time had come to look into personal affairs.

In the captain’s office of the fleet, Li Changhe began to inquire about the status of her counterpart in this world.

It seems that although this world was somewhat different, her relationship with the girl and with Chen Yu hadn’t changed.

She should know the whereabouts of her counterpart in this world.

For some reason, even though the appearance of the military officer minister was almost identical to Chen Yu’s, only more mature, and with some differences in temperament,

Li Changhe always had an odd feeling when facing the military officer minister—it was a kind of vague urge to flee.

"It might just be differences between worlds," Li Changhe thought to herself.

The military officer while sitting in her chair, looked at Li Changhe and said, "I returned to Yanyun from the Capital at the age of nineteen and met you through Xiao Nan. At that time, I didn’t know you were a Transcendent, a member of the Extraordinary Association rumored online. ’You’ said it at dinner, and I said I believed, but I actually thought you were bragging... Back then, how could I believe in supernatural powers? Naturally, I didn’t believe in the existence of the Extraordinary Association. In fact, the state had you on their national security team, and my brother was still cooperating with you..."

This world’s Li Changhe was not influenced by the Book of Heaven, but with the care of Ghost Hand and the Silent Woman, became a member of the Extraordinary Association. Perhaps it was fate that she still met and fell in love with the girl.

Similar to the world of the River Ghost, but for now, it’s unclear why the influence of the Book of Heaven has disappeared.

And the Extraordinary Association has grown stronger, with geniuses emerging one after another: the Silent Taoist of the Taoist school, Qiu Wentian of the Confucian school, Buchen of the Buddhist school, Zhang Tang and Chen Guang of the martial school, and those with Different Pupils...

These geniuses are almost all friends or enemies of Li Changhe.

For example, this world’s Li Changhe’s senior sister, Wu Yan, would likely be the Lady Nanzhuang from the main world from her description.

Qiu Wentian was, of course, an old acquaintance, who was now munching on melon seeds nearby. Hearing that he himself had been initiated into Confucianism, his expression completely fell apart.

Buchen... that was the name Invisible Red Dust had taken up. If he had not died, his chances of evolving into a higher Transcendent were indeed significant.

Zhang Tang served as the vice-captain of the Great Wall, the master of his own fish pond and already a member of the Extraordinary Association.

Chen Guang, however, had not become an Extraordinary Soldier, for the world’s soldier class had ceased to exist. Nevertheless, his martial arts talents were exceptionally strong.

As for the Different Pupil... with the interference of the Book of Heaven gone, his talents were unearthed by the Martial Extraordinary, becoming a member of the Association, too.

And in the main world, a considerable portion of these geniuses had become strong under the Book of Heaven, standing as enemies against Li Changhe. How ironic that was.

In any case, the world’s Extraordinary Association gradually evolved into a semi-official organization. They cooperated with national security, protecting the cities and quietly eradicating malevolence.

They had essentially become civil servants... Li Changhe wondered if he, in this world, remained the Working Emperor.

"But the good times didn’t last. After about half a year, disaster struck. A multitude of Different Races and demons descended from the sky. Yanyun, as the initial battlefield, bore the brunt of it, with vast numbers of the Chaos Legion flooding in. In an instant, the Yanyun city was destroyed, and ’you,’ as the strongest of the younger generation of the Extraordinary Association, took the initiative to lead various factions of Extraordinaries against the Chaos Demon armies. It was the first display of the formidable strength of a Haven Rank Transcendent."

"Before the military forces arrived, you inflicted heavy damage on the Chaos armies, slowing their advance. It was because of your presence that a significant number of civilians in Yanyun survived." The Minister of Military Industry sighed, "Unfortunately, as you know, we still lost. Hundreds of Extraordinaries in Yanyun perished, and tens of thousands of human soldiers were scattered. And ’you,’ after slaying a great Demon, were seriously wounded and no longer able to fight, buried beneath the rubble. At that time, everywhere was war, Different Races, Chaos, Annihilation invading on a grand scale. The refugees were countless..."

The Minister of Military Industry gazed at Li Changhe with a somber tone, "Back then... it was chaotic, dangerous. I got separated from my older brother and got caught by a rabid mob. They dragged me into a corner, and started tearing at my clothes... luckily, ’you’ saved me. You didn’t let me fall into the most dreadful abyss... my hero."

Li Changhe and the players fell silent. On hearing that the Minister of Military Industry had been captured, the players were shocked and enraged, with the Great Wall players nearly crushing their fists. Moon God’s muscles tensed, and Qiu Wentian was seething with an intent to kill. Li Changhe’s gaze was icy cold.

In the endless war, all order had shattered.

Humanity’s ugliest side was unquestionably exposed. And the Minister of Military Industry... a beautiful girl in such circumstances was exceedingly dangerous. Dangerous from any perspective.

Fortunately, the Li Changhe of this world appeared very timely.

The players let out a slow sigh of relief; otherwise, they were ready to slaughter those beasts, regardless of their identity. Even if they were City Lords or Fleet Admirals, they would make them pay!

Human rights? Did they still deserve human rights?

The Minister of Military Industry continued, looking into Li Changhe’s eyes, "After that, ’you’ led me and Xiao Nan through various battle zones, rallying scattered Extraordinaries to fight against the enemies of all races. Until the state expended its last ounce of strength and resources to build the giant city. However, due to your bravery, you caught the attention of the Evil Gods. Xiao Nan, during the battles, suffered targeting. She fell into a critical state, managing to exchange a few words with me before never waking up again. I placed her into a salvaged Annihilation life support pod, miraculously maintaining her life..."

Li Changhe’s face turned even grimmer. The Evil Gods! Damned Evil Gods!

No wonder... no wonder Blood River was so sure he would survive and return to the Great Tang world to partake in the bet between Chaos and Great Tang. No wonder Blood River set its sights on Li Changhe’s potential before he had even grown strong.

Because it was here! On this world’s Li Changhe, Blood River saw his talent and potential!

For this, they hurt the girl of this world... damn, all these Evil Gods deserved to die!

Li Changhe pressed his forehead, forcing himself to calm down, "Then... what did the girl of this world say to you?"

"Just some final requests and entrustments. She had things she couldn’t let go of." The Minister of Military Industry showed a self-deprecating smile, "Ever since then ’you’ were downcast, repeatedly afflicted by the taint of Chaos, but also time and again resisting it. Then, we stayed in Border City for about a year... ’you’ took Xiao Nan on board a fleet. After that, we never saw each other again. It’s been eight years now."

The Minister of Military Industry was hiding certain events that occurred between them, as well as Xiao Nan’s entrustment to her in her dying moments. These would remain secrets not to be known by outsiders.

"Afterwards, I had no news of you. But I knew that the Hellsprings Reverse fleet captured a Chaos Warship, seized Annihilation holy relics, and exterminated Different Race legions. At the same time, it absorbed almost all Extraordinary organizations, reformed their Magical Skills, fused all forces, and developed a new Extraordinary system, passing laws and inheritances to all the giant cities. In just a few years, the number of Extraordinaries increased a hundredfold, greatly enhancing the strength of all humanity. Ultimately, the powerful Extraordinaries established the Extraordinary Alliance." The Minister of Military Industry stood up, walking towards Li Changhe.

"They say the Extraordinary Alliance has countless sects and factions, with strength but lacking a leader."

"They say the leaders of the Extraordinary Alliance are already estranged and unity is merely superficial, and disintegration is just a matter of time."

"They say that the Extraordinary Alliance has already been destroyed, fighting each on their own, unworthy of consideration."

"But I know." The Minister of Military Industry gave a low chuckle while looking into Li Changhe’s eyes, "That’s all untrue. As long as he’s alive, none of this will happen. Even in death, he would definitely reverse back from the Netherworld, annihilating all enemies!"

"He is my hero, and the hero of humanity, he is... the Supreme King of the Extraordinary Alliance, Li Changhe."
