Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 821: Chapter 383: There Will Be Future Successors

After the brief resurrection of the Immortal, the throne could not be restored; it possessed only Supreme Strength, not the awe-inspiring power of the Heavenly Court Immortals as in the past.

Within the rift, there were many Supremes and Kings of the Scale Remains Civilization, including the presence of the Holy Emperor.

Yet, he still blocked all enemies, carrying the blades of his former comrades.

On each weapon was condensed the ferocious battle spirit of the Immortals.

At that moment, countless divine weapons exploded in sacrifice.

At that moment, shape-shifting Heavenly Tribulations surged into the rift.

They transformed into the most solid Great Wall, blocking all enemies within the rift.

Until the rift slowly closed, not a single enemy emerged.

Only a golden lotus shot out from the rift, then disintegrated in mid-air, turning into light points and scattering across the battlefield.

This was the final grace the Immortals left for the descendants.

As the starlight scattered, some Human Warriors’ wounds were healed, some strong humans’ Spiritual Energy restored, and some gained certain knowledge, like the formula for creating Imitative Heavenly Soldiers and intelligence from within certain palaces.

And on the battlefield, the fiercely fighting Li Yelai suddenly found a lifelike Red Jade Lotus appearing in his hand.

“That sinister object you use to refine living beings should be used less; it’s linked with cause and effect and will affect you. Use this…” The Immortal’s voice came from the nearest Heavenly Soldier’s mouth.

“Immortal, my lord…” Just as Li Yelai’s gaze swept toward the Heavenly Soldier, the Soldier was hit by the main cannon of a Scale Remains Civilization warship, shattering instantly.

Simultaneously, atop the giant branches of the Time Tree, the enormous rift there also completely vanished.

“Farewell, Immortal!” Captain Huo roared: “Hail the hero! Humanity forever!”

“This land shall not waste the tears of heroes, let the sharp sword pierce the sky!”

“Kill!”

The Human champions roared, continuing to charge at the Scale Remains Civilization strongmen, as the rift had closed.

But their battle was not over, as there were still a vast number of Scale Remains strongmen present.

They would never waste the efforts of their ancestors, only to fight for a bright future!

Meanwhile, within the already sheltered rift, the Immortal stood upon the river of time, with his left arm and legs shattered like ceramic, all his formerly peerless divine weapon comrades now exploded in sacrifice.

Though they may have been powerful once, time has passed, old friends are gone, and they find it difficult to shine with past glory. Yet they have guarded humanity with their remains.

“It’s a pity. If the Solar Piercing Golden Arrow were still here, if the Human Emperor Sword were still here, I could have wiped out all of you.” The Immortal sighed.

In front of him, several Supremes and Kings were heavily wounded, while the Holy Emperor’s face was somber.

Defeated, completely defeated. They gave up the future to travel to the past, but ultimately, neither could they alter history nor stay in the past, not even return to the future. Their future has lost their elite forces.

“Means from both the past and the future… very clever… Humans are indeed a species full of surprises. We lost, deservedly so.” The Holy Emperor spoke calmly.

The future Human Champion severed the Time Worm, causing the river of time to collapse.

Originally, they planned to break through the rift to kill all strong humans and support the ancestors of this timeline, thereby directly altering the future. If successful, their world would see an immensely powerful Scale Remains Civilization emerge, but all of this was thwarted.

They had a backup plan to stay entirely in this timeline, using the superiority of a powerful civilization to oppress this era directly.

But the Heavenly Court Immortals from the past used their mighty foundation to block the Scale supreme figures from crossing time.

These two moves were too deadly, completely shattering all plans of the Scale Remains Civilization.

“But haven’t you forgotten? Aside from us, there’s another time rift. Another civilization from another timeline is invading that timeline. The means your Heavenly Court left to future generations have all been used up; what else can you use to stop another civilization and time’s invasion? We have failed, but humanity hasn’t won either!”

“There will surely be successors….”

The Immortal spoke calmly: “But as for you, the anchor point has been destroyed, trapped in the river of history. Without another anchor point to land, you will eventually be swept into some timeline. You have nothing left. Ha….”

“I finally begin to understand Changle Immortal Monarch; this is indeed very interesting.”

“Then let’s all perish here together.”

To traverse time and space, both the Time Tree and the Time Worm are indispensable, now the Scale Remains have neither.

Their best outcome is being swept into a certain timeline and gradually killed by consequence.

“Don’t worry, we will continue down this river of time until we find a new anchor point, or even completely annihilate humanity at the source!” The Holy Emperor raised his hand and struck down the Immortal.

Immediately, that infinite power bloomed, shielding all his warships and citizens, continuing to advance towards the past.

This is their final attempt, following this river of time to progress further, perhaps they can find a new anchor point, or seek a new haven.

And the Immortal, who was struck down, let out a peculiar laugh at the end.

Immediately, the Immortal turned to dust…

….

Elsewhere, in the depths of the Immortal Palace battlefield, as the rift closed, those Scale Ships went completely mad, distancing themselves and bombarding the ground, no longer distinguishing between friend and foe.

But the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers possess three-second instant teleportation ability; many ships were directly knocked down by the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.

Simultaneously, the Vehicle Killer came online again, with the help of teammates, Li Yelai repeatedly boarded warships.

When the last ship heavily crashed onto the ice surface and wrecked, the Scale Corpse Strongmen launched suicide attacks.
