Chapter 1490: Chapter 1047: Dream Defense

Nearly a half month after the emergence of the small Celestial Court, Yang Dong, who had been severely injured by a Demigod Projection, finally regained his health.

His injuries had actually been healed by the Great Wall players long ago, but the Demigod’s bizarre mind Corruption Ability made him especially suffer.

For the Chaos Faction, corrupting the champion Yang Dong into a Chaos Believer would be a major victory.

Especially in this world affected by Chaos Power, even a strong man like Yang Dong, wounded by the weapons of a Chaos Demigod Projection, was at great risk of corruption.

Corrupting Yang Dong would not only strike a blow to the morale of human players including those from the Great Wall but also add a great general to the Chaos Faction.

After all, as the visible symbol of the Great Wall, Yang Dong’s reputation rivalled that of any Demigod. There were quite a few players who wouldn’t give face to a Demigod, but there were hardly any who wouldn’t give face to the champion Yang Dong.

Even the most overbearing of the Devil Kings, who among them would not show respect to Yang Dong? It was said that even Li Ba, the Seventh Devil King, had to take Yang Dong’s mood into consideration.

So, the struggle against corruption for Yang Dong was extremely perilous. For a time, the Great Wall players were all prepared for the worst. Yang Dong himself was ready to die as a human.

Fortunately, with the help of several players of extreme energy levels including Chen Yu, Yang Dong stabilized his mind and overcame the Evil God’s corruption.

"It was rather dangerous," said Yang Dong, draped in a trench coat and sipping tea provided by the Celestial Court, "I nearly flipped the cart here. Fortunately, Chen Yu and the others stabilized me in time. Otherwise, I’d have died early on."

Once corruption succeeded, it was irreversible, and the former Supreme Kings before "freeloading" off the power of Evil Gods had also reached critical points several times. Fortunately, they were saved in time and escaped corruption.

Otherwise, the situation for humanity would be even worse now. A corrupted Supreme King... tsk.

"Fighting a Chaos Demigod, we must be careful of this. You have Old Lead’s God Sin, and also possess Demigod-level power. You don’t need to worry about this. But the rest can’t," Yang Dong cautioned, "If teammates are injured by a Chaos Demigod, you must be prepared for the worst in advance."

Yang Dong was subtly informing Li Changhe that if a teammate was corrupted, letting them die in human form was the greatest mercy.

After all, in this world, only a rare few powerhouses could avoid being corrupted by Divine Artifacts. For the others who were wounded, the probability of being corrupted was worryingly high.

"They won’t have the chance to be injured by such weapons," Li Changhe said slowly, shaking his head, "As soon as a Chaos Demigod appears, it will be entangled by me."

"I know, but you still have to be careful. A Projection almost got me," Yang Dong sighed, thinking he could at least hold off a Demigod Projection—he hadn’t expected to end up in such a predicament, "But thankfully, you slew a god with one arrow, and now those Divinities dare not show themselves so readily."

"Unfortunately, the initiative is still not with us," Li Changhe spread his hands.

Since the fleet had arrived at the small Celestial Court in the last half-month, battles among the various giant cities hadn’t been particularly intense.

There were only occasional appearances by Different Race players. Neither the Annihilation Chaos nor the Different Race forces’ armies showed any sign of movement.

The human side could only deal with issues such as secret Chaos Believers hidden in giant cities or Bottom Nests, or some Different Race infiltrators.

At present, the overall Task progress of the ninety-nine Netherworld cities had reached 25%. Who knows what lies ahead. The human side couldn’t initiate an all-out offense. Surely we couldn’t spend a heavy price to clear the scattered enemy forces in the wilderness?

This would only lead to humans futilely depleting their resources and energy. Only by annihilating the enemy’s main forces and various demigods could they truly save this world.

"This is indeed troublesome. In the past Netherworld ninety-nine cities task, at least there was a direction for our actions. Either a Chaos Altar was about to create a Teleportation Gate, and we players would rally forces from all sides to go block it, or some giant city was under siege by the Chaos Army, and we players would head over to support." Yang Dong pondered, "Now, there is no movement anywhere; it seems they were scared off by that arrow of yours. But the Evolution Game has always been ruthless; it won’t let us complete the task with peace of mind."

"I will have colleagues from each giant city leave to gather intelligence. You should rest up in the meantime. With a physique like yours, why do you have dark circles?" Yang Dong asked, looking at Li Changhe’s dark circles.

Li Changhe blinked and glanced at the mirror in the room. He indeed had a pair of dark circles.

"That shouldn’t be the case. Although I haven’t slept for a month, my physique should be fine without sleep. Plus, I don’t feel too exhausted," Li Changhe frowned.

Due to the Evil God’s map cannon, he had hardly slept at all during the month he was on the task.

After all, in dreams, he would see too many intense images.

If he could avoid sleeping, and instead actively sought to experience those images, that would be degrading. So Li Changhe refrained from sleeping. With a strong physique, it wasn’t a big issue.

"Evil God’s map cannon? Then why don’t you get Chen Yu to set up a Dream Defense for you? Theoretically, someone with your physique can go a long time without sleep. But you are human, and you can’t change a decade’s worth of habit overnight," Yang Dong replied, "Chen Yu is a Dream Creation Master and can help you change your dreams."

"Uh... are there any other Dream Creation Masters?" Li Changhe found himself at a loss for words.

Thinking that if Chen Yu saw her own attire in the dream, she would probably come out and poke Li Changhe’s eyes blind first.

"Dream Creation Masters have to be high-energy players and possess auxiliary sequential skills. Currently, in the task, there are only two Dream Creation Masters. One is Chen Yu, and the other is the captain at headquarters. He’s still fighting a Different Race in the southern hemisphere," Yang Dong replied, "And you’d better rest now. You’re lucky you have a strong physique and have held up until now. If you feel embarrassed, just ask Chen Yu not to look at your dreams, right?"

Li Changhe nodded and then, in a small palace within the little Celestial Court, found Chen Yu, who had been studying the Divine Ding’s array. She had been researching how to harness the divine ding’s power these days.

"Dreams? Why didn’t you come to me sooner?" Chen Yu looked spirited, looking at Li Changhe with a smile, "Why are you being formal with me? Or shy? Is it some dream with a large scale?"

"Pleasure Lord’s map cannon; girls are better off not knowing." Li Changhe waved his hand and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Just enter a sleep state," Chen Yu pointed to the wooden bed in the room and replied, "I’ll set up a Dream Defense for you. By the way, do you have any specific requests for the Dream Defense? I’ll create a dream for you based on your requests to cover the impact of the Evil God."

"Anything is fine, as long as I’m not affected by the map cannon," Li Changhe lay down on the wooden bed in the room, smelling the faint scent on the pillow, and replied with his eyes closed, "I’ll leave it to you then, don’t peek at my dreams, okay?"

"Alright, alright, you’re such a gossip," Chen Yu teased, "What kind of dreams haven’t I seen?"

Ten minutes later, once Chen Yu had confirmed that Li Changhe had entered the dream state,

she sat by the bed, leaning over to look at Li Changhe’s profile.

Fell into silence.

Then, she reached out and poked Li Changhe’s cheek, murmuring, "Boys need to be careful out there too. Really..."
