Chapter 1554: Chapter 1094 Task Completed (3K)
The most dangerous True Gods fled one by one, meaning the different race forces no longer had any chance of victory.
Even if the planetary fortress was seriously damaged and would take decades to repair, it still had more than half of its fire points functional, which were completely capable of exterminating the half-demigods of the different races.
At the same time, the accomplishments of the Supreme King with the Dao of Heaven and All Laws Immortal completely cut off any resistance from the half-demigods of the different races.
In this world, the Supreme King was the Heavenly Way of this world and could use the power of the entire world.
The half-demigods of the different race were hard-pressed to contend against the immense power of an entire planet. The Supreme King didn’t even need to expend much of his own Divinity to drag them to their deaths here.
Not to mention, Wuji and Li Changhe, two half-demigod combatants, were still on the Battlefield.
The defeat of the different race was certain.
In fact, from the moment the True Gods did not destroy the planetary fortress and people like the Supreme King right away, the different race had little hope.
However, the half-demigod beings of the different race did not want to be encircled and slaughtered within the Black Great Wall. They put up fierce resistance.
Under the attacks of the Human Emperor’s sharp sword, heavenly thunder strikes, flare bombardment, and the Heavenly Dragon Fall.
Among the chaos half-demigods, the weakest one, the God of Love and Desire, was beheaded by Wuji, his twisted divine body vaporized by the flare’s main cannon. After cursing all the humans in this world, he returned to nothingness.
The Beastmen half-demigod was repeatedly pierced by the Heavenly Dragon Fall, tried to disintegrate his body into spores to escape, but was ignited by relentless heavenly flames. His divine soul, carrying endless hatred, perished amid the surrounding human warriors’ onslaught.
And the utterly desperate Canglong King made the most insane move. After all, the losses of their Annihilation Civilization were too great this time, True Gods intervened in the Evolution Game, and the price was the extermination of several worlds. And yet still not successful? Not only was the price paid in vain, but even those two True Gods were seriously injured, their fates now unknown.
This plunged him into despair, and recklessly, he used his last two Black Hole Bombs!
They blew open a corner of the Black Great Wall and devoured tens of kilometers of the surrounding ground, and even with the defense of the Black Great Wall, many human warriors perished in the aftermath of the Black Hole Bombs.
However, the Annihilation Monarch was prepared himself and unaffected by the Black Hole Bombs. But the half-demigods of the different race suffered heavy losses.
Among them, the Qiongqi half-demigod never expected his ally to use such a tactic and was directly swallowed by the black hole. Wuji took the opportunity to shatter his throne, causing his complete death. An ancient half-demigod who had once contended with the immortals of the Celestial Court was now alive betrayed by his ally.
And the other two half-demigods didn’t fare much better; affected by the Black Hole Bomb to varying degrees, some were injured and some expended vast amounts of Divinity.
They cursed the Annihilation Monarch as they escaped through the breach.
Three half-demigods, the God of The Destiny Line, the God of Struggle and Glory, and the Canglong King, who killed his own ally, left behind all their legions and fled swiftly out of the Antarctic Circle.
They wanted to escape this world and return to the void.
Regretfully, all forty-three ’points’ had been blockaded, and no matter which point they tried, they would be delayed by the guard troops.
And that delay was enough time for the Supreme King and others to catch up to them.
Moreover, with the Supreme King embodying the Heavenly Way, they had nowhere to hide in this world.
Who would have thought that mighty and noble half-demigods would now be chased like homeless dogs by humans, fleeing in panic?
Ultimately, the Canglong King, already gravely injured, attempted to break through one of the ’points.’ He was surrounded by the red-eyed Celestial Soldiers and Generals, whose blood ran with millennia of hatred, driving them into a frenzy. Hundreds of divinely powered Celestial Soldiers and Generals besieged him without regard for their own lives.
Before Wuji, incarnated as Yinglong, could arrive, they had already battered the Canglong King to his last breath. When Wuji arrived, he merely collected the head. The head of the Canglong King was later converted into a subsystem by Lincang No.9, to be taken back to the main world by players.
The God of Struggle and Glory was on the receiving end of both the Supreme King and Li Changhe’s attack; after eighteen consecutive arrows, his shield shattered, his Divinity drained. The Supreme King dragged him to the ruins of Yanyun, summoning endless heavenly thunder to blow up his throne outright.
He was the chief culprit in the destruction of Yanyun, and so the Supreme King commemorated his deceased loved ones amidst the ruins of Yanyun.
As for the God of The Destiny Line, yet again was blocked by the Black Great Wall.
Dying amid endless regrets, caught in the bombardment from the planetary fortress and the players.
With this, the Netherworld’s ninety-nine city world, Four Great demigods of Chaos, three great monarchs of Annihilation, and three half-demigods of the different race.
A total of ten half-demigods from the different races, all died in battle.
Of course, a significant portion of the different race’s legions escaped into the sea. There was still a certain number of Chaos Believers.
This world would need a long time to be cleared. Before it could be considered safe.
But... this was no longer of much concern to the players.
With the last ’point’ recovered, the time for them to leave this world had arrived. Once the defense work of this ’point’ was completed, it was time for the players to finish their Task and leave.
During this lengthy mission, nearly two-fifths of the players died for various reasons, leaving many to mourn with tears.
There were quite a few players who had traveled back and forth, fighting from the Netherworld to the Endless Void and then back to the Netherworld again. Their journey had been tumultuous and grand, but it had also left these players feeling exhausted.
But, as expected, the rewards for this task should be very substantial.
Atop the ruins of Yanyun, the Supreme King and Li Changhe were sitting on the rooftop of a broken building, surrounded by a huge branch of the Jianmu tree.
"First of all, congratulations on your ascension to immortality..." Jianmu’s voice bore a hint of hesitation before it finally asked, "But do you intend to rebuild the Celestial Court and return to the Mythical Era?"
The Supreme King was the only immortal at present and had comprehended almost all the Immortal Skills.
If he were to rebuild the Celestial Court, the positioning of Jianmu as well as the Heavenly Court Remnant Clan would become somewhat delicate.
Moreover, many giant cities probably wouldn’t like the idea of being managed by certain people, would they?
Especially when the danger from the outside world had abated. Some ambitious humans may start to stir trouble.
If the Supreme King were to make a certain choice, the world might once again be plunged into chaos.
Order feared to be broken once more.
"In my view, the duty of the Celestial Court is to protect the common people, not to manage the extraordinary status of humanity. I indeed will build the Celestial Court, but the new Celestial Court’s responsibility is to guard all ’dots’ of the Immortal Palace and to accumulate strength," the Supreme King replied. "I only wish to guard this world better. To protect our home, to safeguard those I cherish. You can be at ease. After this, you can integrate well and build up this world. If more immortals or demigods emerge, then my burden will also be lighter."
"You bear the world in your heart..." Jianmu lamented. "Even within the Celestial Court, there are struggles for power, yet you are unexpectedly unattached."
Li Changhe, however, thought to himself that this guy simply wanted to avoid trouble.
It was like the emperor and the princes of a feudal dynasty; the former had more power but was busy to death, exhausted, and might even be vilified.
The princes, on the other hand, were at ease, possessing certain powers yet not needing to manage too many affairs. They exerted effort when needed but lived comfortably most of the time.
The Supreme King had somewhat this kind of mindset.
He would establish the Celestial Court, but he wouldn’t manage the mundane affairs of each giant city. Instead, he wanted to continue developing the Transcendents to build up humankind’s strength. To protect each ’dot’.
At present, the world seemed safe, but with only one demigod himself, he had no chance against a True God. Thus, as long as the giant cities continued to produce Transcendents, he did not plan to intervene too much.
And besides, would the giant cities dare to defy the rules of the New Celestial Court? Even if in name they were not under the Celestial Court’s control, the cities would still offer all possible assistance to the New Celestial Court.
Of course, this matter was no longer related to Li Changhe.
From the current perspective, there would not be the task of the [Ninety-Nine Cities of Netherworld] anymore.
Unless the Supreme King or Li Changhe left their world and traversed countless worlds in the void, it was possible that the two might never see each other again.
Considering this, Li Changhe asked, "What does becoming an immortal feel like?"
"It’s good, but it’s also not good," the Supreme King responded calmly. "Becoming immortal means I possess the capital to protect this world, and my strength has greatly improved. That’s the good part. But ever since I became immortal, I always feel that my character is being distorted."
"Character?" Li Changhe inquired.
"Yes, my divine name is the Dao of Heaven and All Laws Immortal. I can embody the Heavenly Way, but when I do, I become indifferent and ruthless, so much so that in order to kill Evil Spirits, my subconscious mind believes that I can sacrifice everyone... including the girls and everyone I hold dear. You know, how could Li Changhe ever think this way?" the Supreme King responded somberly.
Li Changhe nodded silently; that truly would not be Li Changhe. No matter which world’s Li Changhe it was, he would fight to protect those he cherished. How could he possibly sacrifice them?
The Supreme King looked down at his own palm and replied, "I believe that while I control this world, I am also being influenced by it. It’s an unsettling feeling. Fortunately, thanks to our brief fusion, I had an enlightenment. Otherwise, at this moment, I would be no more than an immortal lacking humanity. Be cautious, if in the future you attain divinity or immortality, make sure not to be swayed by the Authority."
Jianmu communicated, "The Heavenly Way is heartless. You have proven to be an immortal with the name of the Dao of Heaven and All Laws. You must bear this influence. If you cannot withstand it, you will gradually become as heartless and detached as the Heavenly Way itself, ultimately transforming into another person... No, an immortal! I have seen many geniuses who, upon ascending to immortality, changed their entire demeanor.
But since you have already passed that dangerous moment, the long years ahead will gradually stabilize your mentality. After all, you are too young. After a thousand years, you should no longer have this problem."
"No wonder..." Li Changhe thought to himself and nodded slightly.
At that moment, he learned from [Friends] that the final Immortal Palace had been properly arranged.
The task progress instantly reached 100%.
"It seems the time has come, I must go," he said aloud.
"Hopefully, we’ll see each other again. Just don’t die in some corner," the Supreme King responded.
Li Changhe sighed, "I... am already waiting for death."
The Supreme King understood and sighed repeatedly, "Then wait for death, you."
Afterwards, players from all over the world were transformed into a white light and disappeared.
