Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1072: Chapter 521: Nether River

Surviving till the last moment…

This is also one of the reasons why some Ark Chosen Ones feel no sense of belonging to the world.

According to the ark’s prophecy, when the greatest calamity and terror descend, the entire world will face destruction and rebirth.

And the ark, at that time, will carry all the Ark Chosen Ones to the new world.

All who board the ark become the fire seeds of the old world, leading the path for the world.

Not only can they survive the greatest calamity, but in the new world where technology and spiritual energy have completely collapsed, they can become drafters of the new order, and even the divine beings of the new world!

From the seating rights on the ark, the ark’s intentions can be seen. Reserve spaces, nurturing spaces, boarding locations, choosing boarding personnel… these are all dependencies allowing them to survive the calamity and quickly rise and develop in the new world.

Therefore, many Ark Chosen Ones, in order to strengthen themselves for better survival after the calamity,

do not hesitate to cooperate with the Alien Race, to gain greater benefits, even if it harms their own people.

The already deceased Golden Armor, Ming Xing, Wolf Map, among others, were such Ark Chosen Ones.

They feel no sense of belonging to humanity, only wanting to strengthen themselves to survive the last calamity. Even if it means cooperating with the Forbidden Zone and Chaos, as long as there’s profit to be had, they have no scruples.

Thus, they plotted the ‘Fantasy Band’ plan, resulting in a large number of casualties.

These kinds of people cannot understand the courage of their fellow humans. Nor would they understand the immeasurable glory of human warriors!

But… ultimately they underestimated Giant City’s determination for revenge.

The five who participated in the ‘Fantasy Band’ have all died.

Golden Armor was turned to charcoal by Moon Shadow, Black Umbrella and Wolf Map died at the hands of Li Yelai, Ming Xing died by the Ranger Zhang Zhong, Phantom by Little Mad King.

Only one remains, the initiator of the task, Supreme, Jin Shan in Black Origin City!

Once Giant City launches a war against Black Origin City, this guy will also be killed.

Li Yelai thought to himself.

Then he saw the white light flashing in the distance, Jing Lin stepped out from the white light. The two exchanged a glance, without any response, they returned to their respective seats.

Soon, more and more Ark Chosen Ones arrived.

Chu He, Li Ming, Jin Shan, scholar, and other ark strongmen also gradually reached the ark.

Li Yelai noticed that this time, there seemed to be more Chosen Ones at the ark gathering. Nearly two hundred people…

It seemed that new Ark Chosen Ones had entered the ark.

And it was unsure how many of them were arranged by Giant City.

As the Book Holder entered the ark last, this gathering also began at this moment.

Li Yelai looked at the Book Holder in the Second Ring Seat, struggling to suppress the anger and resentment in his heart.

If not for the Path of Babbling’s ability and medicine forcefully suppressing his emotions before entering here,

Li Yelai would have erupted in violence at that moment.

Book Holder… all his misfortune originated from this bastard!

The wrath surged in Li Yelai’s heart like a raging sea.

His father should have returned safely, but due to the Book Holder’s scheming, he was forever left in the Snow Mountains.

His mother died from endless waiting and despair, with her eyes still filled with unfulfilled hope in her final moments.

All of this was his doing! This beast who toyed with fate!

Li Yelai took a deep breath, forcing himself to look away and gaze into the distance. He couldn’t lose control here, couldn’t let his anger be exposed under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

“Book Holder, the seventh painting has appeared.” An elector spoke.

“I understand everyone’s impatience, but let’s follow the old rules. After all your trades and information sharing are complete, I’ll elaborate,” the Book Holder replied calmly, “so as not to disrupt this gathering.”

He always liked to unveil information at the last moment, leaving new Ark Chosen Ones bewildered, while old ones were accustomed to it.

Thus, after the gathering began, voting commenced among the electors.

Li Yelai first went to Chu He: “Mr. Chu He, your order is completed.”

The so-called order, of course, referred to the Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.

Although Li Yelai was not in the Giant City last month, Li Yunyan was very keen on refining Heavenly Soldiers, and her luck indeed was good. She promptly helped Chu He forge a batch of Imitative Heavenly Soldiers.

Now, this was already the third order placed by Chu He. Imitative Heavenly Soldiers were incredibly useful for humans in the Lost Land.

“Very well, Copper Face,” a laugh sounded from beneath Chu He’s beast skin cloak, then he said, “Then take it out, so we don’t have to enter secret space.”

This was actually a deliberate move by Chu He, wanting to advertise for Li Yelai among the Ark Chosen Ones.

Now that the Black Umbrella, who could refine summoning items, was dead, Copper Face, who could refine Imitative Heavenly Soldiers, should rise to prominence.

Li Yelai naturally understood his intention, and a flicker of space fluctuation flashed in his hand as he took out a wooden box filled with Golden Peas.

A second later, the wooden box appeared in Chu He’s hand.

Chu He grabbed a handful of peas from the box and scattered them casually.

Fifteen Golden Armored Heavenly Soldiers emerged.

The strength of these Heavenly Soldiers varied; some only had the Fifth Sense, while others had the Sixth Sense. Among them, a Heavenly Soldier entirely covered in golden light even possessed divinity.

This brightened the eyes of many Ark Chosen Ones.

Divinity!

Great Spiritual Ability Users, after ascending to Overlords, could refine high-concentration power.

For spiritual energy, divinity was overwhelmingly powerful. Without Divine Calamity, it was difficult for Great Spiritual Ability Users to harm Overlords.

This was a qualitative change in power.

Now, the appearance of an Imitative Heavenly Soldier with divinity made many hesitant Ark Chosen Ones tempted.
