Chapter 1669: Chapter 1206: Secret Weapon

As the ’passage’ exit suddenly vanished, the energy flow within the ’passage’ repeatedly oscillated, making it difficult for the entire Immortal Boat fleet to maintain combat formation.

It also left the fully prepared Immortal Boat Warriors momentarily stunned.

According to the calculations of the immortals and the main brain, in less than two days,

they would be able to reach the exit that was already visible, appear directly above the battlefield, and annihilate all of humanity’s enemies with the strongest reinforcement state.

Unexpectedly, the exit they were counting on disappeared right before their eyes.

Li Changhe was infuriated by this as his relatives and friends were on the battlefield, and just as he was about to arrive, the gate was closed on them.

What should be done? Turn back? Spend a few more days getting back to Great Tang? Or continue forward, searching for another possible exit?

"Who lacks such public decency? The formidable champion, Aquatic Civilization, creates such unreliable things?" Li Changhe was beyond angry.

Based on the intelligence about the ’passage’ he had, it must have been a world on the battlefield that suffered catastrophic destruction, resulting in the complete failure of the Aquatic Civilization’s arrangements.

Theoretically, this should not be possible. Even if the Aquatic Civilization was scorned, they were still a Champion Civilization.

Ordinary firepower would be insufficient to destroy such a level of creation.

Unless the power of the Five Great Mysteries was employed, it would be difficult to destroy.

But in the depths of his heart, Li Changhe felt a sensation that restrained him from continuing his rant.

As a Divinity, this was a hint from destiny and karma, especially remarkable in matters closely related to him.

What? The person I was about to curse has an unusual relationship with me?

Therefore, Li Changhe decisively shut up. Once he calmed down, he speculated that if it were the Chaos Sea of that girl, it really could be capable of destroying the ’passage’.

Taking into account the sinister laughter he had just heard, it is very likely a devious plot.

Deceiver, or in other words, the Heavenly Book, made use of Great Tang and that girl to destroy a world, thus trapping the Immortal Boat fleet in the ’passage’?

Thinking of this, Li Changhe became even angrier.

Darn you, Deceiver, for actually making use of my wife!

The dignified Fifth Evil God was almost enraged to the point of losing his composure.

Li Changhe and Great Yi and others indeed knew that the Deceiver would come to stop the fleet to fulfill Its plan. They had expected to face the Chaos Legion blocking the passage, but instead, they met this underhanded tactic!

So, while filled with rage, Li Changhe issued an order.

The entire fleet continued to move forward to find the nearest exit and informed them that it was the Deceiver’s conspiracy. Curses should be directed at the Deceiver instead of the friendly forces who destroyed the exit, otherwise, I’ll lose my temper!

Hence, the Immortal Boat fleet changed direction, advancing at full speed while cursing the Deceiver incessantly.

Li Changhe could only hope that the next exit would not be too far from the front lines.

...

Meanwhile, on the ’Xuan City Queen’ vessel.

"Achoo!" Xiao Nan suddenly covered her mouth and sneezed. She vaguely felt that someone was talking badly about her.

This caught the Empress Dowager Changsun of Great Tang by surprise.

"To think that even demigods can catch a cold?" she exclaimed: "Someone, hurry and send some medicine to the Governor of Chenhai."

Perhaps it was to maintain relations or to show goodwill. This wise empress, renowned throughout history, would often visit Xiao Nan, bringing many gifts with her.

Time had not left much trace on her, and although she did not possess innate talent, she had nonetheless been elevated by Li Shimin to the level of divine creatures.

If Li Shimin was like a thunderstorm, then Empress Dowager Changsun was like the nurturing rain in spring.

In fact, back when Li Shimin, still a Tian Ce General, initiated the Xuanwu Gate coup, she stood by his side, inspiring the warriors.

After chatting for a while and leaving behind quite a few gifts, she then left the ’Xuan City Queen.’

Xiao Nan, on the other hand, found several Escape Secret Treasures among the gifts.

Clearly, Empress Dowager Changsun was hinting at her that, if the decisive battle turned unwinnable, to escape the battlefield immediately.

This was actually information the Great Tang secretly conveyed to the players.

Xiao Nan took out an Escape Secret Treasure and said to Chen Yu, who was accompanying her to entertain the empress dowager, "Who do you think this represents?"

"It might be the intention of Li Shimin, or perhaps the wise empress dowager herself," Chen Yu responded. "But whether it’s for interests or righteousness, they don’t wish to see you come to harm. In fact, from the arrangement of the fleet, we can tell that we have been assigned to the third echelon. The Great Tang does not want us to suffer heavy casualties. After all, in the worst-case scenario, losing so many high-level players at once would seriously injure humanity."

"I know," Xiao Nan nodded, then reached out and firmly grasped Chen Yu’s body, causing her to blush and tremble before letting go, "And don’t you think about settling matters by dying."

"Understood," Chen Yu nodded slightly. "However, we are not completely without a chance of winning. Although, we both know we have fallen into the trap of the Book of Heaven. But there is still one variable besides Li, one that the Tianyan Association has become desperate to destroy—Li Changhe."

"In fact, I know exactly who it is," Xiao Nan also guessed who it was.

Currently, the only recognized Heavenly Book Variable is Li Changhe.

Otherwise, the Tianyan Association wouldn’t be so eager to destroy him.

But looking closely at all plans of the Tianyan Association, there is actually someone who can remain unaffected by the Book of Heaven.

That is Big Iron Pestle.

In the Hundred Generals Trial Sword task, the encounter between Li Changhe and Wuji was supposed to passively trigger a reenactment of mythical warfare.

Even if the two of them did not wish to battle each other, they would be influenced by the powers of the General and the Human Emperor, and forced into a fight.

Given their combat strength at the time, once the battle commenced, casualties were inevitable.

However, due to the intervention of Big Iron Pestle, the powerful forces of fate and the inertia of the myth were severed.

In other words, without Big Iron Pestle’s intervention, one of Li Changhe and Wuji would have been certainly missing by now.

This was beyond the anticipation of the Book of Heaven.

Otherwise, arrangements would have been made earlier to eliminate Big Iron Pestle by a powerful being.

This matter was only known to Wuji and Li Changhe, and hence the intelligence was never discovered by the Tianyan Association.

Therefore, the Great Wall analyzed that Big Iron Pestle could also be considered a Heavenly Book Variable.

But this is not accurate.

Because the Book of Heaven has never specifically targeted him, it almost seems that all of the Book’s arrangements have avoided him, therefore it was never obvious.

Of course, avoiding Big Iron Pestle is a smart move.

Even someone as strong as Li Changhe is not very keen to fight alongside Big Iron Pestle.

From a certain perspective, he is much more awesome than the Chaos Evil God. Enemies die with eyes wide open, and even teammates tremble with fear.

Is the crafty layout of the Book of Heaven proof that deceit cannot twist the strength of Big Iron Pestle, or perhaps the deceiver does not wish to confront the Death God behind Big Iron Pestle?

Just what existence is that Death God?

Could it be... someone who possesses one of the Five Great Mysteries?

All of these questions will be unveiled in the upcoming war, as Big Iron Pestle is about to ascend to Demigod.

He will be the trump card in this decisive battle.

So much so that the expectant yet awed gaze of the official hierarchy has left Big Iron Pestle himself baffled and at a loss.

It is said that the high-ranking officials have already started placing their bets.

The Black Palace believes that when Big Iron Pestle ascends to Divinity, at the very least, an Insect Swarm Battleship will be blown up.

The Winter Palace thinks it might even be the Beastmen’s artificial planet that gets destroyed.

The Great Wall suggests that’s too little. Perhaps the star of that star system will explode on the spot.

Only Big Iron Pestle himself is filled with sorrow.
