Chapter 1492: Chapter 1049: Looking Forward to a Group Beating (3K)

The most troublesome situation had still occurred, as the Different Race legion surged from the depths of the Pacific Ocean and began a comprehensive attack on the various mega-cities by the sea.

Currently, five giant cities are under siege, distributed along the coastal regions of Asia and the Americas.

The guard troops and stationed players within those mega-cities are desperately resisting the invasion of the Different Race. One powerful individual after another is thrown into the grinder of war.

Even players as strong as those on the Battle Power Rankings can hardly ensure their own safety in the war. Even the strongest players can end up being surrounded and killed by the enemy. In this period, several players have already fallen into crisis.

But the enemy keeps pouring out from beneath the sea surface without cease.

Among them, there is no shortage of sea beasts of enormous size.

Since the invasion of the Different Race, humans have lost control over the major oceans.

Under the manipulation of the Different Race and the forces of Chaos, a tremendous number of dangerous sea monsters have been bred in the vast expanses of the ocean. Even with human main fleets conducting routine cleansing, it is merely a drop in the bucket.

The reason the Sea Clan holds a position among the many Different Races, and stands on equal footing with such a troublesome species as the Beastmen, is because of their secret magic that can shape sea monsters. In the deep-sea regions where humans cannot disturb them, they have built their own Deep Sea Army.

When it comes to overall strength in this world, except for not having a fleet, the Sea Clan can challenge nearly any force. This is due to their sea monster legions.

Now, these sea monsters have launched a full-scale assault on mankind along with the Different Race army.

After the End of the God War fleet escaped from the Kunlun Giant City, it left Asia and headed toward the Americas, keeping close contact with a few mega-cities there. Now that the mega-cities in the Americas are being attacked, the End of the God War fleet should already be on their way to provide support.

And the Hellsprings Reverse should, in terms of distance, be supporting the mega-cities in Asia.

But everyone knows that in such a situation, merely supporting the mega-cities would drag them into an endless war of attrition.

And they would also be worn ragged by providing support to multiple mega-cities.

If it were a Teleportation Gate on land, humans might find a way. But if it’s a Teleportation Gate established in the deep-sea regions, that would be very dangerous. The fleets must delve into the heart of the enemy’s forces to precisely locate the gate. And that is considering the best-case scenario. It’s very likely they would fall straight into combat and struggle to extricate themselves.

"Damn, a Teleportation Gate. Is this the main reason why the Evolution Game opened the ninety-nine cities of Netherworld this time?" In the fleet’s conference room, a Great Wall player frowned, "This is really troublesome. The Evolution Game truly has no humanity."

"What about the mega-cities? They are all under attack now, including teammates of yours and mine," complained a military-uniformed Winter Palace player with a frown, "Are we just going to let them be besieged by the Different Race?"

Among those mega-cities were their own friends and teammates. For example, Mr. All-known and Pan Ke of the Extraordinary Association were in a mega-city in South Asia, resisting the Different Race.

"The battle situation in each mega-city is still within a controllable range. Mega-cities are inherently defensive behemoth fortresses. High walls, Bottom Nests, nuclear weapons, nearly a million active and reserve defense forces. As long as they remain stable on the inside and prevent infiltration, they can hold out for a while. However, the top priority is to search for the Teleportation Gate," Yang Dong concluded his thoughts and asked the captain of the Hellsprings Reverse, beside him, "What are your thoughts, Hellsprings Reverse?"

It was an odd scene, with two Yang Dongs sitting on either side of the conference room, representing the Champion Fleet of humanity and the Hellsprings Reverse respectively.

And Li Changhe and the Supreme King had dashed off and vanished, not even attending this meeting.

Which made the two Yang Dongs grumble inwardly.

The two Brother Dongs were inwardly bitter. Even in another world, they had to carry the can for that darned young man. It was simply insufferable!

The two Yang Dongs sighed silently.

"I agree with your viewpoint. But the question is, how do we find the Teleportation Gate?" asked Captain Yang Dong.

"There’s no better method at the moment. With the interference of the psychic storm, both your satellite communications and our players’ sensing abilities are affected," responded Great Wall Yang Dong, "My suggestion is for the fleet to venture deep into the ocean, drawing the Different Race army’s attention to alleviate the defensive pressure on the other mega-cities. And to search for potential clues on the Different Race army. Our players’ abilities vary greatly, some can reconstruct history and even trace back to the origin from the smallest details. Hopefully, this can help us find the Teleportation Gate as soon as possible."

"In that case, that’s the only way," replied Captain Yang Dong, "Hopefully, the mega-cities can still hold out."

Meanwhile, Li Changhe and the Supreme King were in a small cabin aboard the Southern Heavenly Gate battleship.

Or rather, inside a prison.

This small cabin was the room where Lady Nanzhuang was held captive.

During this time, Lady Nanzhuang, the renegade of the Book of Heaven, sat obediently in her room, her hands bound by chains, her activity limited to this officer’s cabin with a bedroom and a bathroom. She hadn’t attempted to escape. It seemed she had resigned herself to her fate.

The Supreme King and others had no intention of mistreating or torturing her. Rather, it was Silent Senior Sister who often brought food to see her. The relationship between the two, it was said, had greatly improved.

When Li Changhe entered the cabin, Lady Nanzhuang was sitting against the wall, reading a Magical Skill secret book that Silent Senior Sister had given her.

"Did you two actually come today?" Lady Nanzhuang looked indifferently at Li Changhe and the Supreme King, "What, are you here to prepare to rape me? Then don’t tear up my clothes..."

Her expression was indifferent, as though she didn’t care about what she might suffer.

When she was captured, she had already considered all possibilities. Of course, she had thought of this too—some male players believe that by possessing the body of another, one could control them. Like Red Fist and the Bloodriders.

But Lady Nanzhuang didn’t think so. She would treat it as a dog bite, silently enduring everything without a word.

The Supreme King sighed sadly, unable to bear the sight of his sister from another world debasing herself this way.

And Li Changhe showed disgust, "You wishful thinker!"

Lady Nanzhuang closed the secret book and said, "What brings the two of you here? Surely our relationship hasn’t progressed to the point of you visiting me, has it?"

Li Changhe stepped forward, pulled over a chair to sit down, and said, "Luo Qiao is dead, died a very painful death, and the inheritance of the Celestial Court has also been unearthed by us."

"I know. Before he died, Luo Qiao sent me a distress signal," Lady Nanzhuang responded. "But it seems you did not kill Red Fist."

"Is he that important?" the Supreme King frowned.

"Not sure. After all, he is a Book of Heaven expert, and it’s always good to kill one more of them," Lady Nanzhuang shook her head. "So what else do you want from me?"

"As a Book of Heaven expert, this time you entered the ninety-nine cities of the Netherworld. Besides helping the Tianyan Association investigate the Book of Heaven in this world, you must have other tasks, right?" Li Changhe asked. "Has the Tianyan Association prepared fusion earrings for you... like Red Fist had?"

Quite a few players entered the mission with fusion earrings, and given the temperament of the Tianyan Association, they would have likely prepared fusion earrings for all their Book of Heaven experts.

"Are you worried I’ll deceive Wu Yan and fuse with me?" Lady Nanzhuang scoffed. "I’m already like this, why should I drag another happy and contented self into this mess?"

Compared to Wu Yan, she had faced far too many hardships. The abuse from her foster father, being hunted by the gang, and the death of her master had become her shadows.

She did not want her other happier self to become as tainted as she was.

Although this world seemed harsh, Wu Yan had a brother who loved her and once had loving parents. Lady Nanzhuang felt that this was good enough; there was no need to drag Wu Yan into this murky water.

"So, you do have them?" Li Changhe chuckled lightly. "Bring them out then, I can make a swap with you. You need the Seed of Divinity, don’t you?"

"You... want to fuse?" Lady Nanzhuang narrowed her eyes. "Li Ba, you should know what this means. No matter which world it is, you will lose yourselves forever. The current you would rage and kill Bloodriders for your loved ones. After fusing, that may no longer be certain. And you...Supreme King, your Sister Wu Yan will lose her brother. And how should your friends and relatives treat the new you after fusion?"

"You actually care about us?" Li Changhe laughed.

"Once fused, you might not be willing to cooperate with me," Lady Nanzhuang spoke coldly. "If you’re thinking of breaking the game with a fusion, I’d advise you to save it. The price is too steep, even if you gain more powerful strength... Well, one is the Supreme King, and the other is the Crownless King. Once you fuse, both your battle power and talent will rise to unprecedented heights. But the cost is irreversible."

"Don’t worry about that," the Supreme King responded. "We obviously have our own plans. If you have the earrings, let’s make a trade. You should be aware that we won’t give up our friends and family. We aren’t willing to share our loved ones with anyone either."

Lady Nanzhuang frowned, pondering for a moment before a spatial ripple flashed in her hand, revealing a pair of earrings with red gems embedded in them.

She said to Li Changhe, "I don’t need the Seed of Divinity. I need the Divine Inheritance of the Six-winged Gatekeeper. You have it, right?"

According to the Book of Heaven, it was through the inheritance of the Gatekeeper that she had obtained during the disaster fog that she had gradually grown stronger. But now that Li Changhe had killed the Terror Devil, the Six-winged Gatekeeper, she was no longer able to receive that inheritance.

However, since the Book of Heaven had been reset, her path could be changed again, and she might obtain a different Divine Inheritance. Then, she would rather reverse causality.

"That’s fine. I haven’t used it." Li Changhe took out a pair of broken white wings, the inheritance of the Six-winged. It could be decomposed for five thousand game currency to obtain the Divine Inheritance, and it was an inheritance that only a female could master.

None of the female players around Li Changhe intended to take it. He had thought about selling it on the Ghost Train. But then, the Three-eyed Skeleton caused trouble, looting the train without accomplishing the sale. So, it had remained in Li Changhe’s backpack.

After exchanging items, Li Changhe scrutinized the earrings.

[Fusion Earrings]

[Type: Secret Treasure]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Two individuals wearing the earrings will merge into one, improving both talent and strength]

[Note: The birth of a new powerful entity]

Li Changhe and the Supreme King looked at each other and smiled.

"I’ve never looked forward this much to being mobbed by demigods."

"We’ll have to show them what we’re made of."
