Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 853: Chapter 398: Scheming War (Part 2)

“Moreover, we now have allies, the Wilderness Rangers will assist us.”

“However, I’m curious as to how humans overcame hardships in those two futures, or… Rock Supreme, can you reveal a bit?”

“In the records of the two civilizations, both of our Giant Cities were breached. But in the Scale Remains Civilization’s records, we counter-killed a King of Restricted Zone. In the Yunling Civilization’s records, we proactively abandoned a Giant City. It’s been extremely difficult.” The Supreme paused for a moment, then said, “Until an exceedingly powerful individual appeared. The remaining humans finally caught a breath.”

A few glances thoughtfully turned to Li Yelai, knowing that the exceedingly powerful individual was the absent Doll in today’s meeting.

In the future, an Emperor-Level powerhouse ruling the world through terror.

Could it be that she was absent for this very reason? Several informed strong individuals pondered in their minds.

“Alright, the meeting is concluded. Everyone, strive to become stronger within this year. We still have hope, humans in those two futures did not receive so many Heavenly Court inheritances. These are all variables.”

The official strong individuals nodded slightly and left.

The Jing Family members glanced at Li Yelai, and among them, two young individuals awkwardly said to Li Yelai, “Night General Captain, thank you for the Immortal Palace’s rescue.”

Then left.

Polite, but not much… if at all.

However, Li Yelai did not mind, but instead walked towards Rock Supreme. After the meeting, he did not leave but sat in the main seat holding a large thermos cup.

Just by looking at this scene, who would think that this middle-aged man in a white shirt, holding a thermos, could be a Supreme?

“Rock Supreme, any thoughts on the future list concerning Giant City?” Li Yelai asked.

“I knew you would be concerned about this.” Rock Supreme also handed a paper cup to Li Yelai.

Poured two cups of tea, pushed one to Li Yelai and said, “I understand your worries. In one of those futures, you may not belong to Giant City’s side and could even cause some damage to it.”

This indeed was Li Yelai’s concern. He knew that in one of his futures, he was the Dawn Monarch of the Master of Green Flames, a Chaos Chosen.

There was no issue with that, as currently, Giant City and Rangers are allies.

But Li Yelai knew that in those two future lines, the Doll would be overtaken by the dark consciousness, no longer suppressing her powerful talent.

Eventually becoming the only one, an Emperor-Level powerhouse surpassing a King!

But she also became increasingly dictatorial and ruthless, ruling many Giant Cities and Restricted Zones for quite a long time.

Therefore, Li Yelai wanted to know the official stance and subsequent plans.

Hence, he let the Doll absent from this meeting to directly clarify things with the Supreme.

“In high-level discussions, indeed someone mentioned, why not let her fully accept her talent and rapidly grow.” Rock Supreme said, “After all, if she becomes a King, even an Emperor within a few years, it might be beneficial for humans overall.”

Li Yelai’s face slightly changed, but Rock Supreme smiled and said, “You can rest assured, we won’t do that. This proposal was directly rejected.”

“We won’t abandon any comrades. On the contrary, we must suppress the rise of that consciousness.”

“The Doll’s talent is extremely formidable; the only issue is the risks that come with this terrifying talent’s rapid advancement, such as that consciousness… If we could truly rid of the threat from that consciousness, then we could fully explore her talent.”

“Humanity needs Processor comrades loyal to Giant City, rather than that dictatorial ruler.” The Supreme looked at Li Yelai and smiled, “You and the Doll can rest assured.”

Upon hearing the words, Li Yelai let out a sigh of relief.

“However, you must take note. A great battle is looming… Your Causality Divine Calamity is crucially important. I won’t force you to reach a certain height within a year. Being at Fifth Sense at your age is already very fast.” The Supreme said, “If we could fight shoulder to shoulder, we could surely kill a Forbidden Zone Supreme.”

This shoulder to shoulder is meant in a literal, physical sense.

Divine Calamities are too important, yet extremely rare.

If one can suppress the opponent’s divinity on the battlefield, the chances of winning greatly increase!

However, Li Yelai is only at Fifth Sense, unable to partake in high-level battlefields, thus his Divine Calamity is difficult to act.

But if he pairs with a Supreme, though also very dangerous, he might become the trump card in killing the opposing Supreme.

For Supremes, during a fight, if their divinity is suppressed, it nearly spells death.

Rock Supreme hopes Li Yelai can improve the best he can this year to intervene in Supreme’s battlefield.

But soon, Rock Supreme shook his head.

“Forget it. Just progress steadily. Forget about this matter, seems I was impulsive…”

He sighed lightly, picking up his own thermos cup and left.

At Li Yelai’s current age, having Five Senses is already quite commendable, rash advancement could be dangerous instead.

He indeed got ahead of himself. Should Li Yelai face an accident due to advancement, he’d become humanity’s sinner.

No matter the outcome of the war, humanity’s talented disciples must be preserved.

“Yes, they must be preserved…” he whispered as he vanished upon stepping out of the door.

Nonetheless, Li Yelai was not worried about this. If possible, he wanted to intervene directly in the King’s battlefield!

That would be the best opportunity for trade!

If he could use Mr. Shadow’s power to eliminate a King of Restricted Zone early, that would be the biggest advantage for humanity!

Li Yelai always kept that trade opportunity for the King of Restricted Zone.

The only trouble is, the trade requires Li Yelai to face the King of Restricted Zone directly.

Encountering an Overlord along the way, he’d have to bow out…

“I still need to become stronger quickly. To at least survive until reaching a King of Restricted Zone. Otherwise, just passing by a Forbidden Zone Dominator would spell my end.” Li Yelai thought to himself.

Moreover, the revival intelligence of Forbidden Zone can be cautiously informed to the Church, as the Church wouldn’t want Forbidden Zone to grow.

Maybe, they would send troops… by then, Li Yelai could lead thousands of Church Army to vigorously break through the Forbidden Zone.

Both depleting the Forbidden Zone and the Church’s strength.

That’s a win-win.

Li Yelai wins twice!

Hard to say about the Eternal Life Sect, but Blood God Sect would definitely be happy.

The followers of Blood God, storm once more with me at the Emperor’s Fall!

Just uncertain if he can coax a few Divine Chosen over; since they’re all Chosen, what’s wrong with a group event?

It’s just that his status isn’t high enough now. Imagine a grand gesture to gather Chosen folks, then ambush with eight hundred Axe Men…

Li Yelai mused whimsically while his consciousness entered the Void Realm, seeing his cracked Soul Well.

Above the Soul Well, a golden feather hovered, with faint starlight falling upon it, slowly repairing Li Yelai’s Soul Well. Compared to the initial cracks, now nearly half had been repaired.

….

In the following days, the Immortal Palace strategy entered its final phase.

Due to fluctuations appearing in the Immortal Palace entrance passage.

Giant City halted the strategy task early to prevent personnel from being trapped inside.

Meanwhile, the officials planted a considerable quantity of Spirit Plants within the Immortal Palace.

Once the Immortal Palace exits the Physical World, a three-fold time span occurs. Years later, when it reopens, Giant City could harvest Spirit Plants that normally take over ten years to mature inside the Immortal Palace.

Of course, the premise is that in a few years, officials can reopen the entrance.

The Immortal Palace’s opening location is uncertain, which is also why it’s not considered a shelter by the officials.

If people were sent inside and the outside could never open the Immortal Palace again, like the Jing Family year, it would truly be a disaster.

Meanwhile, eerie events have appeared within the Immortal Palace.

Official Spiritual Ability Users once witnessed a vague silhouette in Daoist Robe; vanishing in an instant at the exit. Yet, stationed strong ones outside the exit saw nothing.
