One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[Why did the allied forces attack?]

[I didn’t give that order?]

[Even you were confused in this moment.]

[But you knew what this situation would lead to.]

[If the Dragon-Men released that thing and let the human allied forces attack it freely, the alliance would be finished!]

[That was exactly what the Dragon-Men wanted to see—wiping out humanity without lifting a single soldier!]

[What now?]

[This Formless thing couldn’t be hit or scolded; it was right in front of you. What could you possibly do?!]

[Sweat dripped from your forehead, washing away the makeup you had applied.]

[Zuo Zuo Lu, seeing you standing still, walked over and asked.][“What’s wrong? Come on, let’s go! The battle’s started!”]

[You said coldly.]

[“You’re not going anywhere.”]

[“What?”]

[Before Zuo Zuo Lu could react.]

[“Ding!”]

[“Dong!!”]

[You threw a punch, catching her off guard. Zuo Zuo Lu was struck in the abdomen, coughed up blood as she flew backward, and slammed into the cave wall.]

[Zuo Zuo Lu was a Dragon King-level general.]

[That blow had nearly killed her.]

[“You… who are you really…”]

[For Zuo Zuo Lu, the physical blow wasn’t the only thing; the psychological trauma was devastating.]

[The junior she had admired and trusted the most all along was actually a traitor!]

[She didn’t know whether to praise the enemy’s cunning or blame her own stupidity.]

[You had no time to waste on her.]

[You concluded that sealing Formless was the best move under the circumstances.]

[You quickly retrieved materials from your Storage Ring and began setting up a formation.]

[Using your supreme skill as an Immortal-tier Formation Master, you laid down an Earth-Grade sealing formation.]

[Amplified by Enhancement!, it became a Heaven-Grade Restriction!]

[You didn’t set up a higher-grade formation because the higher the quality, the more complex it was. You had no time to fuss here—you needed to get out quickly and warn the human allied forces not to act rashly.]

[However, the moment you completed the formation, you suddenly sensed something was wrong.]

[“How is this possible?!”]

[Formless, resembling a lump of multicolored jelly, devoured the entire formation!]

[Runes began flowing across its surface, and its body rapidly transformed. It seemed to be forming hand seals—exactly the same gestures you had just used while setting up the formation!]

[It tossed a Restriction back at you, trying to seal you!]

[You dodged it.]

[“Are you kidding me? This thing can even mimic formations and counterattack?!”]

[You were frustrated.]

[The formation hadn’t even touched it—you had only sealed the entire cave. Did that mean even indirect targeting triggered its retaliation?]

[Zuo Zuo Lu burst into laughter.]

[“Hahaha! Traitor! You know nothing of Formless’s power! Formless! Kill him!”]

[Zuo Zuo Lu, clutching her injured stomach, flashed over to Formless’s side, lifting her chin in a triumphant pose.]

[Your tightly furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, and you gave Zuo Zuo Lu a half-smile.]

[“There’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”]

[Zuo Zuo Lu let out a scornful laugh.]

[“What, scared? Too late! I don’t want to hear any of your nonsense! You dared to hit me; you’ll pay with your life! Formless, do it!”]

[A drop of slime fell onto Zuo Zuo Lu’s face.]

[“Huh?”]

[Zuo Zuo Lu looked up. Formless’s body stood upright, its middle section caving in like a huge mouth, swallowing Zuo Zuo Lu’s upper half whole!]

[“Mmph! Mmph!! Formless! I’m a Dragon-Man! The Dragon-Men are your masters!”]

[A voice identical to Zuo Zuo Lu’s rang out from inside Formless’s body.]

[“Master… delicious!!”]

[Your eyes went wide.]

[You watched as Zuo Zuo Lu was completely digested.]

[Then, Formless’s jelly-like body began to twist and reshape.]

[It finally took on the appearance of a Dragon-Man, but its body was limp and slimy, a monster constantly oozing mucus.]

[You saw Formless staring at you with a bloodthirsty gleam in its eyes.]

[“Where the hell did the Dragon-Men dig up this freak…”]

[Helpless against this thing, you could only turn and fly through the air, retracing your path along the tunnel.]

[True enough, the human allied forces had attacked.]

[Martial artists from the Five Regions, the Demon Tribe of the Great Wastes, and Holy Land members.]

[Even the Shen family’s army had come, each of them standing in midair on Star Shuttles, firing crossbows and firearms at the Dragon-Men in their stronghold.]

[The human side outnumbered them heavily. The Dragon-Men had lost most of their demon artifacts. Though they had replenished some later, you had sabotaged and gotten rid of a large pile.]

[Coupled with the absence of the three Grand Venerables and infighting among the eight Earth Venerables, the Dragon-Men had no fight left in them.]

[The moment the battle began, they scattered like startled birds and fleeing beasts, escaping from their stronghold in all directions, leaving nothing behind.]

[“Chase them! Don’t let a single one get away!”]

[The various leaders of the human allied forces ordered their troops to pursue the Dragon-Men.]

[When you emerged from the tunnel, you saw part of the allied forces looting the Dragon-Man camp, trying to grab some spoils.]

[“Don’t stay here! Go! Return to the Five Regions!”]

[You quickly removed your makeup, restoring your original appearance, and flew into the air, shouting loudly enough for everyone to hear.]

[The allied soldiers were surprised to see you, and even more shocked by your order.]

[Long Yang, Wu Yue, Li Chengqian, your elder brother Chen Jing, the two Chief Commissioners from the other Holy Lands, Shen Yue—the Shen family head—and other allied leaders all gathered around you.]

[“God Yi? Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to hold the One-Line-Sky?”]

[From the fragments of conversation, you had already guessed some truth.]

[“Hahaha!!!”]

[Just then, a familiar voice rang out from the sky.]

[You looked up.]

[Cunning Heaven Venerable, Na Heaven Venerable, Frigid Heaven Venerable!]

[The auras of the three top Martial God-level Grand Venerables swept through the surroundings.]

[The Frigid Heaven Venerable no longer looked sick at all!]

[He pointed at you and said.]

[“Our spy embedded in the human allied forces never saw your trail. I guessed right—you did sneak into our ranks. That horse of yours put me through quite an ordeal!”]

[Na Heaven Venerable covered her mouth and giggled, her posture alluring.]

[“Good timing, Chen Yi. If you’d stayed at the main base, we’d have had a tougher time impersonating you!”]

[The sharp horn on Cunning Heaven Venerable’s head flashed, and his appearance and build gradually changed, becoming identical to yours!]

[“How about it, Chen Yi? I’m your twin brother! Hahaha!”]

[The three Grand Venerables had guessed you were undercover, but they didn’t know who you were.]

[So they decided to turn the tables and go to the human allied forces to impersonate you and give orders.]

[Of course, for this plan to work, it wasn’t just about relying on the shapeshifting Cunning Heaven Venerable—making the human allied forces easier to fool was the key.]
