Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 846: Chapter 395: New Beginnings (Part 2)

“Supreme, you truly value him. Is there something I don’t know?” asked the Giant Cauldron Dominator.

They naturally valued Li Ye’s abilities as well, but wasn’t it excessive to invite a Supreme to be a sparring partner? Within the Giant City Circle, there were only four Supremes, each with the crucial responsibility of sheltering the Giant City.

“Future intelligence has been partially analyzed,” said Pan Shi Supreme. “He becomes the Green Flame True Monarch in the future with the Scale Remains.”

“I know,” said the Hong Family Dominator, his face changing slightly. “Although he’s a believer of the Chaos God, the Wilderness Ranger truly fights for humanity. That’s why we cooperate with the Rangers.”

“Naturally, hence, I don’t care much about the identity of the Dawn Monarch. Instead, I’m thrilled by his talent,” said the Supreme. “Besides, the Yunling Civilization left behind many unique items.”

“Those seem to be items used for Causality Strike. We haven’t been informed specifically what items they are,” replied the Giant Cauldron Dominator.

Causality Strike is a spiritual power technology greatly desired by the officials. If humans could acquire this technology, they could weaken certain dangerous targets in advance.

In recent times, many researchers have engaged in the study of Causality Strike but have yet to yield any results.

“Li Ye also encountered a Causality Strike. Because of it, his Soul Well was damaged.”

“We know this.”

“The medium used by the Yunling Civilization for performing a Causality Strike on the Night Generals was…”

Pan Shi Supreme paused, “Champion Cloak!”

The faces of the two Dominators shifted slightly; from what they understood, a Causality Strike must be performed using a medium with a significant causal relationship with the target.

Using the Champion Cloak to perform a Causality Strike on Li Ye.

Doesn’t that mean…

“He becomes a Champion in that future?” the Giant Cauldron Dominator asked in surprise.

“Indeed, whether a Human Champion or Dawn Monarch, his identity varies in the future, but it all leads to fighting for humanity,” Pan Shi Supreme whispered. “In the not-too-distant future, the Forbidden Zone will revive and become active again. At that time, great wars will inevitably break out. The equilibrium maintained for many years will be disrupted. I hope talents like the Night General will emerge quickly before that!”

“And before they rise, we old folks have to hold on.”

…

Meanwhile, Li Ye returned to Hong’s Mansion with the old butler.

The family head, Hong Lan, who left earlier.

She had already changed into a tracksuit, and was standing up with the help of two women, slowly moving in the garden.

Her slender legs trembled as if she might fall at any moment, yet she endured the discomfort and persisted in standing.

Though in pain, she relished the sensation of standing on the earth.

Beside her, a young man in a casual sweatshirt seemed a bit shocked.

After exchanging a few words with Hong Lan, he clasped his fists and departed.

He passed by Li Ye, and as he saw him, he nodded slightly in greeting.

Li Ye nodded back, and then they parted ways.

He seemed unfamiliar, but the young man’s spiritual power strength wasn’t low, and he seemed on the verge of breaking through to the Sixth Sense.

Watching the youth’s departing figure, Li Ye asked the old butler, “Who is that? Is he one of your Hong family elites? I haven’t seen him in the Immortal Palace.”

“No,” the old butler shook his head and whispered, “He’s a doctor who traverses the wilderness, don’t be fooled by his youth. His methods are very unique. In some Giant Cities, they call him the Life-Chasing Doctor. However, his temperament is rather big, and whether he makes house calls is entirely up to his mood. Previously, to heal the family head’s injuries, our Hong family caravan invited him, but even offering A-level Armament as reward, he was unwilling to come.”

“He came now?” Li Ye asked.

“That’s why I say his temperament is peculiar,” the old butler shook his head in response. “I don’t know why he suddenly changed his mind. But he came too late, the family head’s injuries are already healed. After his trip, we’ll provide him compensation.”

Li Ye nodded slightly, not caring.

The young man known as the Life-Chasing Doctor sat in his vehicle with a complex expression.

“What? Very tricky?” his companion asked.

“No, too late. Hong’s Family Head’s legs have been healed, though standing is still challenging, but after adjusting for half a month, she can walk freely. In two months, she’ll be as good as new,” the youth replied.

“I didn’t expect others aside from you could heal such strange divinity, this place truly hides talents and geniuses,” his companion exclaimed, feeling it quite coincidental. The injury unhealed for years; they just arrived, and it got healed? How coincidental!

“Should have come earlier,” the Life-Chasing Doctor sighed. “I’m quite interested in that divinity, what a pity.”

“Stop thinking about it, at least the Hong family is generous. You traveled far and it’s not a loss. Let’s look elsewhere,” said his companion.

The Life-Chasing Doctor furrowed his brow slightly; he felt a sense of regret and loss, as though he missed something…

He did not know, according to a certain script.

He indeed would have healed Hong Lan’s legs and gained the Hong family’s friendship.

And obtain that piece of No Regret Gem.

For someone about to reach the Sixth Sense, it would be a great opportunity. He’d acquire some powerful ability.

But due to some change, the opportunity that was supposed to belong to him was taken ahead of time.

It left him with a vague sense of longing.

…

On the other side, Li Ye declined Hong family’s banquet and gratitude; he already received the No Regret Gem and Holy Healing Potion.

Taking more would be excessive.

At the Church, Li Ye could enable automatic collection; not here.

As for treatment, Li Ye actually did very little.

The chaos caused by the Calamity led to the Taboo Items losing control, blocked by the Supreme and Dominator.

But Hong family’s other kindness, Li Ye couldn’t refuse.

There will be twelve young disciples from the Hong family heading to No.3 Border City to join the officials.

Some are family elites, while others just awakened their spiritual energy.

Indeed, some members of the Spiritual Ability Family choose to join the officials.

Like Ma Hongyi, he’s already become the official captain.

When he returns to Second Border City, he’ll be appointed.

Like Mo He, she’s on the military route; her military rank is the highest among the youth.

However, danger in the officials is much higher than staying within the family.

And in the officials, these family members have no special privileges.

At least, not within the Champion Team One.

Vice-captain Zu Chao is a disciple of Sword Mad Tyrant.

White Robe Team, Elite Night Patrol, Gu Yue. Surname Jiang, that Jiang from the Old Mad King.

At least forty percent of the spiritual ability users in Champion Team One are from various families.

Even Li Ye belongs to a family lineage, though he’s not familiar.

After all, the children of spiritual ability users have a higher chance of awakening spiritual energy.

They might grow using family resources but won’t have other privileges.

When Ma Hongyi accepted the task to assassinate Mei Wu, the Ma family didn’t step in to cancel it, only dispatched some forces for assistance.

Therefore, not many from the family choose to join the officials.

“Let me be clear, there will be no special privileges,” Li Ye reminded.

“Night General Captain jokes, we don’t need privileges. This has been long decided between the officials and family. If we die in battle, it’s just unfortunate,” said a strong man from the Hong family, bowing.

Li Ye remembered him as Hong Ba, a Four-Awakened Spiritual Ability User. They fought alongside each other in the Immortal Palace Battlefield.

“This is not the family head’s order, but our own will.”

This is not a lie; on the battlefield, Li Ye was as powerful as a Demon God, sinking enemy giant ships, tunneling into the enemy legion, avenging the death of friends and family.

The silhouette advancing against the enemy tide was almost etched in their eyes.

No need for the family head’s command, they all wished to fight alongside that silhouette!

“It’s an honor!”
