Chapter 999: Chapter 652: Cemetery

The headline news the next day was, undoubtedly, about the chemical park incident in Yanyun.

After all, although the media were unable to enter the area, they had still collected a number of shocking images and sounds.

In the dim sky, a cyan meteor fell from the sky, and the Flame Giant roared out to meet the cyan meteor.

The Golden-armored Taoist Soldiers gleaming with golden light and the heavily-armed Great Wall Special Forces.

And then, there was the sudden rise of the Black Great Wall and those continuous screams that lasted for two hours.

Viewers of these scenes were greatly shocked.

Especially a video shot by a popular live-streamer, which instantly went viral.

In the footage, the terrifying iron flood crushed all the Taoist Soldiers, outnumbering them by several times.

The thick steam armors and the furiously spinning chain saw battle axes demonstrated the terror of this mysterious army.

After that, the mysterious and majestic ancient general made netizens wildly speculate about his identity.

Unfortunately, the official response did not give a clear answer, simply stating that it was a passing player.

They explained that when an enemy appears, nearby players would receive an Instant Task to confront the enemy. At that moment, the chemical park indeed had a number of unofficial players infiltrated. This ancient general was one of them... Now that the enemy has been eliminated, the public can rest assured, and so on.

Of course, that was just to deceive ordinary people and those low-level [Players].

Ordinary people could be forgiven for not understanding, and the low-level players were unable to access the Battle Power Rankings, and naturally did not know the identity of that general.

But among the higher-level [Players], who didn’t know the title of the Crownless King?

"He actually managed to paint that divine creature on the Black Great Wall," a player marveled. "That’s a creature on par with the God’s Chosen... General Li Ba is too ruthless, isn’t he?"

"Indeed, that divine creature was begging for mercy. It only quieted down after its jaw had been ground down," another player said with relief. "It’s good that we have no feud with General Li Ba."

"What, were you there on the scene?" a player asked in surprise.

"No, I wasn’t. I took off when I saw the meteor. Otherwise, it would have been awkward to be trapped inside the Black Great Wall. However, my Symbiotic Body is the Land King Rat, and it can observe through the eyes of rats. It was so scared at that time that it nearly wet itself."

"Am I the only one concerned about the bad habit of the Great Tang army, that seems to have started with General Li Ba?" a player criticized. "Great Tang players learned skills specifically to paint the wall, and the officials created the Black Great Wall just for General Li Ba to build a wall. Aren’t they a bit too indulgent? Should I also find an official girlfriend?"

"It has nothing to do with that. The Great Wall respects players who have earned their accolades. If you had also saved so many people in the disaster fog and earned such merit, you could even ask the Great Wall to give you the Dream Cruise for a world tour!" a player replied, thinking you’re daydreaming.

"As for painting the wall...."

"Well... it’s a quirk of the Crownless King, right?"

To have painted a divine creature on the city wall...

This was much more shocking than the mysterious player who had previously killed a Blood Clan player high in the Battle Power Rankings.

And as for Li Changhe, who was actually involved, he was not satisfied with the outcome.

Although the Three Corpses God was a Celestial with a strong body, after being smeared for two hours, it ended up a mass of bones and flesh paste, and could no longer make any sound.

Half an hour later, Li Changhe found that the flesh paste had completely died as well.

Because Evolution Game had already issued a Task reward.

All of Li Changhe’s revenge-class skills were upgraded to the highest level.

And Li Changhe had only one revenge-class skill, which was the rarely used [Revenge Counterattack].

It was directly promoted to [Dawn Prayer]

[Effect: When a friendly unit within a certain range suffers casualties, your next attack will be bolstered by the hopes placed in you]

[Energy Consumption: Each use consumes 5 energy points]

[Cooldown: One hour]

[Note 1: The power of tragedy strengthens you, bringing dawn in the midst of adversity and suffering]

[Note 2: ...carry our hopes and live on!]

For most players, this was quite a useless skill, although it did not require one to get injured like [Revenge Counterattack] to stack damage. However, it required the casualties of allies.

From both an emotional and logical standpoint, it was a condition difficult to achieve, especially for solo and lone wolf players. This skill might as well have been non-existent for them.

But for players with a large number of summoned or derivative creatures, this skill was nothing short of godly.

For instance, players with the Insect Race sequence could create a multitude of derivatives to attack the enemies and stack additional damage as these derivatives perished.

As fate would have it, Li Changhe, who had the Immortal Cavalry, was precisely a player with a large number of summons.

With the acquisition of Dawn Prayer, his strength was further enhanced.

Even if enemies breached the formation of the Immortal Cavalry, they still had to confront the supremely strengthened Dawn Prayer of Li Changhe.

But there was nothing to be happy about; Li Changhe just glanced at the skill description.

Then he continued his task of painting walls, until dawn was nigh.

Only then did Li Changhe finish painting the Three Corpses God spotless.

The Black Great Wall, too, was covered with blood and bone fragments, resembling a piece of graffiti.

Looking at his gauntlets, now slippery with stained blood, Li Changhe was lost in a daze. Then, with a flicker of spatial fluctuation, he changed into a set of magical attire.

"Sometimes, having a powerful enemy might be better. At least, it feels more real..."

Despite having broken free from the suppression of the Soul Locking Coffin, the Three Corpses God in its peak state couldn’t even force Li Changhe to leave the throne.

This made Li Changhe’s revenge less satisfying.

In his mind, Yun Ting whispered softly, "At least, in some world, they are living happily. And so am I."

"Hmm..."

Afterward, Li Changhe silently gathered his spoils of war.

The loot was substantial: the Mingxuan Shield, red flame horn, and the Qingxuan Bell.

All of these Ghost Valley treasures were now in Li Changhe’s possession.

The Soul Locking Coffin that originally suppressed the Corpse God had been forged by Li Changhe into the Bronze Throne.

Although most of the magical effects had vanished, as Epic Level equipment, it still had a special effect against the Mysterious System.

With the Bronze Control, Li Changhe could easily use the Bronze Throne as both an arsenal and a fortress.

Originally planning to use the Bronze Throne for defense after the Corpse God’s assault, the Corpse God didn’t even manage to get close to him.

Once he finished organizing his spoils, Li Changhe picked up the broken iron umbrella and Swallowtail knife.

He got into an off-road vehicle parked not far away, recognizing it as Chen Yu’s ride.

Inside the vehicle, Xiao Nan, Chen Yu, and Mr. All-known Pan Ke were silently waiting.

Seeing Li Changhe sitting in the car, Pan Ke, who was in the driver’s seat, bowed and said, "Young Master Uncle."

Li Changhe was momentarily taken aback by the title, but then he understood. Right, he was indeed his young master uncle.

Shortly after, Li Changhe felt his palm being held by a girl’s hand. The girl did not mind his blood-stained hand, interlocking their fingers, and softly said, "You have to introduce me well to them."

"Sure," Li Changhe responded with a smile: "They will be happy..."

Then, the vehicle maneuvered around the Black Great Wall and headed towards a cemetery in the suburbs.

...
