Chapter 1435: Chapter 1007: After the Battle (4K)_2

"Actually, I had no other choice at the time. It was only after I jumped ship that I learned there were so many Annihilation fleets hiding nearby. If they had directly released the Black Hole Bomb, I guess it really would have been tough to escape. But luckily, we won." After landing, Li Changhe thought for a moment, took a steaming cup of coffee out of the [Backpack] and asked, "Care for a cup of coffee to refresh yourself, to calm the shock?"

"Have you not finished the coffee you made last time? Well, thank you..." Chen Yu responded listlessly, holding the cup with both hands, feeling the warmth of the coffee, and slowly his somewhat numb arms regained strength. He silently drank while looking at the ruins.

At that moment, Li Changhe noticed a Supreme King approaching nearby.

He was dressed in a sloppy Taoist robe and had messy long hair. He didn’t look at all like a Supreme King from the Extraordinary Alliance; if it weren’t for the robe, someone might believe he was from a beggar’s sect.

But it was this very attire that made the surrounding Transcendents look on with surprise or respect.

Even those Transcendents who had never seen the Supreme King before felt an inexplicable tension upon seeing him now.

The Supreme King had created countless Magical Skills, increasing the overall losses of Transcendents. Merely this cause and effect made the Transcendents feel differently.

"Is that...the you in this world?" Chen Yu asked softly after taking a sip of coffee.

"Mhm, he’s very strong. He’s even developed the Immortal Skill of ’One vital energy transforms into Pure Ones’. He learned Immortal Skills before becoming an Immortal," Li Changhe replied.

"Mhm, worthy of you," Chen Yu said in a low voice, watching the Supreme King approach the temporary command center.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the command center at the edge of the ruins.

The wounded Different Pupil saw the Supreme King enter, obviously startled, then immediately stood up to salute, "Senior Brother!"

"So you’ve finally broken through to the Celestial realm," the Supreme King nodded slightly, "But your talent far exceeds just that, even surpassing mine. You’ve been lazy; I shouldn’t have allowed you to come to Border City. I should have sent Senior Sister Qiu or Silent Senior Sister instead. It was I who held you back."

Faced with the reproach from his senior brother, the Different Pupil felt somewhat ashamed.

He was born with different pupils and had an extremely strong extraordinary talent.

The former leader, Li Kun, had once commented on this.

It was only because he became a Transcendent later in life that he was unable to rival Li Changhe.

He was five or six years older than the Supreme King. Only now, in his mid-thirties, had he broken through to the realm of Celestials, while the Supreme King had already been a Celestial at eighteen, and his strength was now unfathomable.

Recalling the previous praise, the Different Pupil felt ashamed. In these years at Border City, he had indeed become complacent... As for his talent, he simply did not believe that his talent could match that of the Supreme King.

In fact, from the perspective of the main world.

The talent of this Different Pupil was indeed terrifying. In the Future Line where the Evolution Game was restricted and the path of the Book of Heaven severed, he still managed to ascend to the Immortal Realm as a Transcendent.

This was indeed very frightening.

In the main world, there was no existence like the Supreme King to compare with. It was correct to say he had the highest talent.

And the military minister, staring at the Supreme King who walked in, let her pen slip from her fingers, her eyes reddening slightly.

She tried hard to keep her voice down, not showing any wobbly tone, "It’s been a long time since we last met, Changhe. Years have passed. You are still so young, while I have already become an old woman."

Her statement was quite false, as the military minister looked like a woman whose age could not be discerned. Said to be in her thirties, but she looked to be in her early twenties.

The moment she made this statement, the expressions of the officers in the command room changed slightly, and the Different Pupil and the Hellsprings Reverse land army also had a stir of emotions.

Without any hesitation, they decisively evacuated the scene.

The officers of the giant city joked that the military minister fully supported Hellsprings Reverse because she had an old flame in the fleet.

It was just happy gossip. After all, it sounded thrilling to hear that the fleet’s top brass was sweet on the City Lord’s woman, didn’t it?

But they never considered that the Supreme King, who had just saved the giant city, was the subject of that gossip. They hurriedly took their leave.

And for the Hellsprings Reverse land army, who were ordered to protect the safety of the giant city’s high ranking officials, they had a secondary task: in the event that everything was beyond salvaging, they were to help Chen Yu and Chen Tianjiao escape from danger.

Obviously, they were somewhat aware. They had no intention of getting involved.

They left the enclosed space to the two of them.

The Supreme King, however, silently looked at the woman before him, and he couldn’t help but recall that fragrant and crazy night.

As the Supreme King, he had been targeted by Evil Gods numerous times.

Several times he nearly fell into the embrace of Chaos.

Especially after Xiao Nan fell into slumber, he thought more than once about simply joining Chaos, using its power to awaken Xiao Nan.

But one night several years ago, just as he was about to touch the Abyss, the girl pulled him out of his disarray.

At that time, his mind had been clouded by the influence of three Evil Gods’ powers.

And afterwards... certain accidents occurred. He believed the sleeping girl had awakened... but that wasn’t the case.

This resulted in him being unable to face this girl who had helped him so much after that night.

She had helped him a great deal, yet he had treated her as a substitute.

Hence, he dared not visit Border City for years, out of guilt and avoidance.

The expression on the Supreme King’s face was extremely complex.

At last, he murmured softly, "I’m sorry, Yu..."

The Minister of Military Affairs stood up and walked towards the Supreme King, straightening his robe and combing his hair for him.

Then, looking at the man before her, she said softly, "There’s nothing to be sorry about. I promised her that I would take care of you, it’s just that there was a little accident... Stop thinking about it, and don’t keep away from me..."

...

Meanwhile, the news of Border City’s victory spread to the giant cities through the player’s friend network.

In fact, some players who were divine creatures had already been aware of the situation.

Li Ba had disabled an Annihilation King and shot another Annihilation King dead. Directly dealing with two Demigod-level entities.

This had lifted the spirits of the human players immensely.

Whereas the players of Different Races were filled with worry.

But in some dark corner, messengers of various races gathered together.

A powerful being from a Different Race asked, "Netherworld Reverse has still survived; humans still have a significant scale of fleets. Shall the plan still be implemented?"

"The question is, how many more arrows can Li Ba fire? Will the Divinities dare to face his arrows?"

"It’s precisely because of Li Ba’s arrow that the Divinities have been hiding to this day. That arrow was too terrifying, killing a Demigod with a single shot! With Li Ba and the human fleet present, the plan becomes very difficult to carry out."

"Li Ba shouldn’t be this strong... last time he faced three Divinities, the fight was extremely tough."

"How about... waiting for this Task to end? After all the human players have left, then you can implement the plan?"

"Whatever you can think of, the Evolution Game would surely have thought of. Besides, it is after our Illusory Realm Island came into this world and began storing energy that players entered. This energy storage process cannot be interrupted; it won’t be long before humans notice increasingly strong fluctuations. The fleet will surely strike out, or what do you think our cooperation with Chaos and you to eliminate the human fleet was for?"

"Then... how to deal with Li Ba and that Supreme King?" a believer of Chaos spoke, "Our Divinities have no intention of facing Li Ba’s arrows. Your estimates are the same."

Indeed, they were already enemies, only united this time for a better strike at humanity.

Nobody wanted to expend more strength.

The Different Race had lost three legions, Chaos had one legion crippled and lost a giant city along with all its resources, and Annihilation had lost two Demigod warriors.

Neither side wanted to further exhaust their own strength. Facing the prospect of humans being eliminated, they themselves would fall into a difficult situation.

"No matter," spoke a duke from Annihilation at that moment. "Our Great Sage has given the order to continue with the plan. The Supreme King is difficult to kill; Li Ba is difficult to kill. Then we won’t kill..."

"You mean?"

"In the Future Line, it took humans over a decade to come out of the Endless Void. And the world situation here... doesn’t have a decade to spare for them to solve the riddle of the Void."
