Chapter 1489: Chapter 1046: Calamity

The Supreme King picked up the hourglass of time and examined it, feeling the pathways of time enveloped within.

He couldn’t help but laugh, "So that’s the ace up your sleeve. You’ve thought it through quite a bit. Unfortunately, those demigods are well hidden now. This card is hard to play unless there are at least two enemy demigods present."

If there were two demigods, Li Changhe and the Supreme King, along with Wuji who were present, could still put up a fight without too much pressure.

Only when facing more enemies and more perilous situations could they use that ace up their sleeve.

"Yes, that’s the only tricky part. We have means to deal with the enemies, but they hide their movements," Li Changhe took back the hourglass, placed it in his backpack, and added, "If there were a major battle, this could actually surprise our opponents."

"Sadly, the initiative is not in our hands," the Supreme King pondered, "It would be great if we could force them to make a move and actively encircle us."

"There will be an opportunity. Will the ’Evolution Game’ let us pass the task so easily?" chuckled Li Changhe.

Players were all too aware, in terms of non-human aspects, the Evolution Game never disappointed.

...

A few days later, the mini-Celestial Court was still bustling with noise.

Scores of Extraordinaries rushed to the mini-Celestial Court to undertake trials, even those without military achievements could obtain the armor of Celestial Soldiers and Generals. Those below the Earth Level received Rare Quality Celestial Soldier armor, while the stronger Earth Level and above received Heavenly General armor.

This empowered every human Extraordinary who participated in the trials.

Moreover, some Extraordinaries with sufficient military exploits even received gifts from the Celestial Court.

For example, the Celestial Spirit Spring, a proud specialty of the mini-Celestial Court and one of the treasures left from Jianmu’s past.

It was originally the cultivation spot of a True Immortal Fairy, located on a mysterious colossal snow mountain. It was said that the True Immortal had put in great effort for that mountain.

The eternal frost that never thawed on the mountain could be refined into spring water by specific Immortal Methods, cascading down as the Celestial Spirit Spring.

It could heal injuries, retain youth, nourish the soul, and even slightly enhance aptitude. It was considered one of the finest things within the Celestial Court.

At least, that’s what the female players and female Extraordinaries thought.

Thus, during the few days of collaboration with the Celestial Court, the girls with enough military exploits always enjoyed soaking in the Celestial Spirit Spring.

Of course, some players and Extraordinaries went to the snow mountain themselves to collect a lot of frost to bring back for their families.

For instance, the Supreme King and Li Changhe, one activated the Demigod State for a general’s stealth raid, the other used "Universe in Sleeve" while in a state of "One vital energy transforms into Three Pure Ones."

The two moved hundreds of tons of frost before they stopped, causing a fuss among the remnants of the Heavenly Court.

Of course, there would be accidents.

Qiu Wentian, in any world, resisted the Celestial Spirit Spring.

They resisted the so-called Stay-young ability.

And believed that they could still grow.

This was actually a beautiful misunderstanding because when Qiu Wentian questioned Li Luoling about her future physique, Li Luoling, going against her conscience, mentioned that she developed quite well...

That was Li Luoling being kindhearted, not wanting to reveal such a cruel reality to Qiu Wentian.

As a result, this accident caused Qiu Wentian to always resist Stay-young. After much persuasion from Chen Yu and others, she reluctantly entered the spring to bathe.

Then, upon seeing the voluptuous figures of the two Chen Yus in the spring...

Including Qiu Wentian, the girls all clenched their teeth in frustration.

Then, they united, closing in on Chen Yu and began to lay their hands on her.

Sounds of the girls frolicking, which made one’s heart race, could be heard from the Spiritual Spring.

This caused the men in the distant male bath to flush and feel very envious.

Finally, after pleading for a long time, the satisfied girls agreed to let them go.

And the two Chen Yus could only offer a bitter smile, accustomed to the girls’ rowdy behavior.

As counterparts from different worlds, they shared many similarities: the same preferences, the same intelligence, and the same love interests, which made them understand each other very well.

"Enjoy your soak," the Minister of Military Affairs whispered to Chen Yu, "This Spiritual Spring is quite beneficial for someone like you who can’t rest. You haven’t slept for several days, have you?"

"What did you notice?" Chen Yu asked, surprised and even a bit anxious.

It was a secret she had never shared with anyone.

To avoid revisiting the scenes in her dreams, she even restrained herself from sleeping and entering the Dream state. Yet, the Minister of Military Affairs had noticed it.

"The high-ranking individuals of every giant city in this world are lured by various Evil Gods. They all face the risk of falling into the Chaos of the Evil Gods. Naturally, I’ve also learned about the curse of the Evil Gods," the minister replied deeply, "As for how I know? I am the one who understands you best in this world. To me, your expressions are like an open book. And the way you look at the general is pretty interesting. It seems something happened in the Dream that makes you somewhat avoidant yet somewhat anticipative. Perhaps it’s the curse of pleasure?"

Chen Yu was at a loss for words due to the Minister’s analysis.

Being intimate with someone in a dream and then seeing them in front of you as soon as you open your eyes would naturally leave her a bit dazed.

All she could do was murmur in a low voice, "It’s just a dream. I can distinguish between dreams and reality. That’s something that will never happen in reality, just as you said, what’s missed is missed. Besides, I’m quite content with how things are now. And I’m not the kind who meddles in others’ relationships."

The Minister of Military Affairs nodded slightly.

It was a regret only they could understand.

"By the way, did you know? The divination techniques used by the Daoist sects are quite interesting," the Minister stated, "During the peaceful years before the wars, I was bored and asked him to calculate my marriage prospects. He is a Heaven-level Transcendent, the best in the Daoist sects. Naturally, he can perform divinations."

"Marriage prospects?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, the results he came up with were that my other half would be a drunkard, and I would die of domestic violence in my middle age," the Minister said solemnly.

Chen Yu pursed her lips, thinking she was rather unlucky, wasn’t she? However, divination is usually inaccurate and can be affected by extraordinary powers. Now that she was a player, there shouldn’t be any issues.

"He computed it three times, and each time the result was the same. He left with a gloomy face," the Minister continued, "Half a day later, he came back and said he had calculated wrong, but I still need to be cautious about alcohol."

"Alcohol?" Chen Yu scratched her head, "What does that mean?"

"Something like a calamity, he unexpectedly calculated after changing his divination. He never calculated it again," the Minister explained, "Anyway, just be cautious. These past years, I’ve avoided alcohol as much as I could."

Chen Yu thought carefully and nodded, noting the warning.

She didn’t like drinking anyway, and as a Great Wall player, she didn’t need any social drinking. None of her colleagues were heavy drinkers.

...

Meanwhile, in the training room of the End of the God War Fleet,

Red Fist Arthur, watching his severed arm gradually heal, murmured, "Good, this body has finally adapted to my cellular-level self-healing."

(Happy New Year)
