Chapter 189: Irresistible

"Respected lady, we hope to make a deal with you."

"These are a small gift for our meeting, please do accept them."

The Terminator placed a large pile of treasures in front of Claire.

These items were priceless.

The cultivation materials alone were enough to nurture several Fallen-level experts.

"You want to make a deal with me?"

Claire found it a bit amusing,

"You're a mere Planet Destruction level — how could you help me?"

Hearing this, the Terminator no longer held anything back and said seriously:

"Respected lord, I know you have recently been troubled over searching for a certain person."

"As it happens, I possess a treasure that can locate others."

"It requires no clues at all — as long as you picture his appearance in your mind, you can know his exact location without error, though there is a distance limitation."

"Lord, shall we continue with this deal?"

Once these words were spoken,

even the well-informed Claire was very surprised.

A treasure that could locate someone through imagination alone?

Why had she never heard of such a treasure before?

"Lord Claire, this is unique to our nation's Terminator Star — a single-use consumable treasure."

"Each use requires the death of a Fallen-level life as its price," the Terminator said with a serious expression.

Claire naturally would not easily believe its words.

After erecting a mental defense, she asked:

"Since it is a deal, what do you hope I will do?"

"Also, what makes you so certain I will agree?"

"I am above Planet Destruction level — aren't you afraid I'll take the items and run, or turn against you instead?"

Hearing these words,

the Terminator laughed heartily, its voice exceptionally bright and open,

"Of course we're afraid. In fact, this is already our last gamble."

"If there were any other way, even at enormous cost, we would absolutely not come here."

"……"

Then,

the Terminator recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

There was no need to hide anything anymore.

They were nearly at a dead end — if they still held things back, wouldn't that be digging their own grave?

"Understood."

"You mean that you and a faction called Dragon Nation on Lan Xing have reached a life-or-death impasse."

Claire organized her thoughts, "But your three planets combined still cannot match Dragon Nation."

"So, you want me to intervene and help you?"

"Yes, exactly. Please lend us your aid, lord — we will not hesitate to serve as your beasts of burden in the future!"

The Terminators knelt on the ground in unison.

They kowtowed frantically, without the slightest pretense of dignity.

The Blood Fury Lord beside them was somewhat shocked to see this scene,

"These three fellows actually went this far!"

"Truly stopping at nothing for the sake of survival!"

As the overlord of a planet,

the Blood Fury Lord asked itself — if it were in their place, it would absolutely never cast aside its dignity to beg others.

Wasn't it just death?

At worst, fight to the bitter end!

Living a lifetime — wasn't it all for that one breath of pride!

It and the fellows from the three planets were fundamentally different in nature.

"As for what you said about taking the items and running — that, we are not worried about."

"The Fantasy Locator is a treasure unique to my Terminator Star. I have placed it in an extremely secret location that no one can discover."

"I am quite confident about that."

When the Terminator spoke, a look of pride showed on its face.

It could be seen that it had great confidence in its treasure-hiding spot.

"Fine."

"Since that is the case, I will make this deal with you."

"Remember, I will only intervene three times, and only against targets at Planet Destruction level or above."

Claire had her own principles as well.

Though a deal had been reached,

she had also held her bottom line.

She doesn't engage in bullying the weak, and she looks down on it.

"Three times... three times is already a lot."

The Ender Creators showed excited smiles on their faces.

They began to sing joyfully in their hearts.

We won!

We really won!

Entities above planet‑destruction level are willing to act!

Damn Dragon Nation, just wait to face the wrath of the strong!

It's time to let the world know that our three great planets are not to be trifled with.

The Ender Creators were so excited their bodies trembled.

It's an expression of extreme excitement.

They can't wait to see Dragon Nation's destruction, with its people crying and begging for mercy.

As for their intentions,

Ke Lai Er doesn't care at all.

She knows the Ender Creators aren't exactly good guys.

But to find the target faster, she has to agree to the deal.

Ke Lai Er looked ahead through the cockpit's transparent glass, where dazzling blue light flickered.

A deep‑blue, incredibly beautiful planet came into everyone's view.

Lan Xing.

We've arrived!

"Mo Yi…"

Ke Lai Er's expression was complex, "I don't even know if you're still alive now."

"If you're still alive, how are you doing now?"

"I've already broken through to above planet‑destruction level; if you see this, you'd be pleased, right?"

Saying that,

she picked up the necklace hanging around her neck.

It was a star pendant, very delicate and beautiful.

However, it seemed a bit incomplete, as if something was missing.

…

Dragon Nation.

A massive starship hovered in the sky.

Amid the hopeful gazes of Dragon Nation's people, Zhang Cheng resolutely stepped into the ship.

"Everyone, rest assured, although the battlefield is in space this time, I will definitely win."

"No matter who the opponent is, no matter their level, we will surely win!"

"They may be strong, but we will definitely be stronger than them."

"Unstoppable!"

"Dragon Nation will prevail!"

Boom!

The starship launched, its massive engines roaring deafeningly.

The ship rose vertically into space, piercing the thick clouds.

Looking down, the ground seemed to recede continuously, growing farther, smaller, until it became a disc.

Soon, the full view of Lan Xing unfolded before Zhang Cheng's eyes.

A deep‑blue sea and dark‑green land.

The two colors intertwined like a beautiful painting in the cosmos.

"Mo Yi, from now on everything is up to you."

"Remember, if danger arises, don't meet it head‑on; evacuate quickly."

Zhang Cheng earnestly reminded Mo Yi,

"Protect yourself; this is my first command to you."

"Ensuring your own safety, give your all to win!"

"I believe you can definitely do it!"

"This is the pride of the demon race!"

Mo Yi hammered his left chest with his right hand, his gaze resolute,

"Boss, rest assured, with me there, victory in the final battle will be snatched effortlessly!"

"I will certainly not betray your trust."

"This is my first time protecting your home, so it must succeed!"

Zhang Cheng replied with a sound.

He looked out the window.

Three massive planets were appearing in his field of view.

Like three colossal beings, they exuded a strong sense of pressure.

Zhang Cheng's expression was solemn, his eyes bursting with fierce fighting spirit.

The final battle.

Now, begin!
