Chapter 957: The Overlooked Thread, The Two Sages of the Human Race

Master Chen narrowed his eyes.

The next instant.

Boom.

He flew toward Master Chi.

Yet at this very moment.

Boom!

Zhang Huizhi kicked Master Chen in the abdomen, booting him out beyond the Qiong Heaven.

The next instant.

Zhang Huizhi's true form and his seven clones all flew toward the starry sky together.

Boom, boom, boom!

The world looked up.

Deep in the distant void, endless flames erupted.

Under the gaze of countless people, shocked beyond measure, a star shattered.

Master Yu opened his mouth, unable to speak at this moment.

The next moment.

An intense sense of crisis struck.

Another Master Chen suddenly appeared.

He arrived just as suddenly, merely glancing around with indifference.

Crack, crack, crack!

All the machinery in Master Yu's body hummed and vibrated incessantly.

This was the reaction produced by the Ninth-Order Simulation Core when encountering danger.

The third Master Chen's eyes were indifferent as he gave Yu Province a faint look.

Afterward, his gaze traversed the void and locked onto the sky above Tie Province.

There, a middle-aged man with white clothes and white hair stood calmly.

The next moment.

The third Master Chen stomped on the void.

Endless ripples spread out wildly, enveloping him and Master Chi.

The next instant.

The two vanished in an instant.

At the same time.

Above Yu Province.

Another Master Chen arrived; he looked around at the five clan elders covered in wounds.

"Father."

Chen Youqing was covered in blood and gave a miserable laugh.

At this moment.

Between heaven and earth, countless people looked at Master Chen.

With awe, with fear.

Throughout Yu Province, countless sirens wailed, and countless laser batteries and laser turrets aimed at Master Chen.

Master Chen stood in the void, one hand hanging down, an invisible longsword tapping against the void.

Drip-drop!

Like a water droplet falling into a lake, ripples spread outward one after another.

The next instant.

Hum!

The figures of Chen Youqing and the other five clan elders disappeared.

At the same time.

Above Tie Province.

Lu Xunyang's eyes were calm as he looked behind him.

There.

The earth was broken, with ruined walls and shattered remains.

Sky-propping mechs from Chen Province stood upon the earth, and barracks stood horizontally across the land.

Another Master Chen appeared and locked eyes with Lu Xunyang.

Lu Xunyang said in a calm voice:

"You still have one final choice."

Master Chen looked at Lu Xunyang indifferently:

"If it were you, would you choose another path?"

Lu Xunyang did not speak.

Chen Yuan, however, spoke calmly:

"In one's life, one only needs to do one thing, and keep doing it; that is enough."

Lu Xunyang narrowed his eyes:

"Even if I already have absolute certainty, you still will not change?"

Lord Chen narrowed his eyes:

"And where do you get your absolute certainty from?

It is nothing more than the final sliver of fantasy born before facing an endless wall of ice."

Lord Chen's black hair hung down to his brows, his pupils as dark and deep as a cold pool, devoid of even a shred of warmth:

"I, Chen Yuan, am necessary; I am what the human race requires.

Without me, you would only forget the might of the Ancient Gods.

This is my Dao, and it never changes."

Chen Yuan was shrouded in a biting cold that forbade others from approaching, yet he carried a trace of wistfulness:

"You have all done well enough, but it is still not enough."

"You are going to lose."

Lu Xunyang spoke in a deep voice:

"Not to mention the outside world, even the Master of Arrays, you cannot stop them."

Since Chen Yuan wishes to be the gatekeeper of the mortal realm.

What Chen Yuan must face now is far more than just the Great Xia and Yu Continent.

The Master of Arrays from the Evil Realm also clashes with Lord Chen's Dao.

Lord Chen is the one who truly stands in opposition to everyone.

And he is also the only person whose path clashes with everyone else's.

It could be said.

If Lord Chen has no miraculous plan, not to mention the Great Xia side of the outside world.

Even the Master of Arrays from the Evil Realm will defeat Lord Chen and step over Lord Chen's corpse.

This is inevitable.

Chen Yuan is the radical within the conservative faction.

The Master of Arrays is the conservative within the radical faction.

This is also why the Master of Arrays does not get along with the Master of Xia and the Master of Blood Qi, yet they can coexist.

But Lord Chen is the radical within the conservative faction.

A natural opposition.

Lord Chen can only coexist with those thorough conservatives, such as Lord Lu, Lord Chi, and others.

Yet he cannot coexist with a single person from the radical faction.

Including the Master of Arrays.

Between the two, there must be a life-and-death battle.

As for the outside world, pure radicals like Li Zhiyi and Lu Xunyang.

Are in an absolute life-or-death struggle with Lord Chen.

In the past.

Lord Chen commanded the Five Clans, his strength invincible.

Now, however, Lord Chen is like a lone man, unable to hold up the sky alone.

"You all..."

Lord Chen looked around at the entire world:

"Have never truly won against me."

As the words fell, he tapped his foot lightly.

Crack, crack, crack.

A distorted array pattern, overflowing with frost, suddenly spread out from beneath Lord Chen's feet, enveloping the entire Five Clans Alliance.

The space began to tremble crazily, and countless brilliant white lights rose from the bottom up.

Hum!

A powerful spatial array.

In an instant.

The entire Five Clans Alliance legion completely vanished from the land of Qin Continent.

Above the ocean.

Boom!

A roar resounded through the sky.

Li Zhiyi used a sword to completely blast apart Lord Chen's avatar.

Li Zhiyi's entire body radiated the brilliance of his will, like the great sun descending once more.

At the same time.

Zhang Huizhi returned, standing in mid-air.

He looked at the vanished Five Clans Alliance army and furrowed his brows.

He had left intentionally before, hoping to lure out Lord Chen's true body.

So that Lu Xunyang, the Master of Elements, the Master of Yu, and others could launch a final encirclement and kill against Lord Chen.

But he had not expected that Lord Chen would avoid the battle this time.

Even the Master of Yu, who had been right beside him just now, had not made a move, but instead directly taken away Lord Chi.

Lord Chen is absolutely not simple.

Over these two thousand years, no one knows exactly how much Lord Chen has prepared.

Even now, Chen Yan was still unable to truly see through the Master of Chen.

The other party's strength was absolutely above that of the Master of Arrays.

Perhaps, it was also above that of Xia Zhiyang.

Not to mention Chen Yan and the two ancient gods.

The Master of Chen might just be the second strongest person of the human race today.

In the world today, those who could play a game of chess against Chen Yan.

Were only the Master of Xia and the Master of Chen.

The Master of Xia acted willfully, but was definitely not an enemy.

The Master of Chen, however, was not.

If the Master of Chen could endure until today, then in the days to come, there would surely be even greater schemes.

What other trump cards did the Master of Chen have?

Zhang Huizhi narrowed his eyes.

In the outside world, there was seemingly no way for the Master of Chen to win.

Even Zhuohe Umeng was currently still remaining within the Evil Realm.

It seemed that something was wrong.

Since the Master of Chen wanted to be the gatekeeper of the human race.

Then they must be guarding more than just the outside world.

It certainly included the Evil Realm.

But now, none of the Master of Chen's methods in the Evil Realm had been revealed.

Zhang Huizhi organized his thoughts, always feeling that some thread had been overlooked by him.

What was it?

Furthermore.

Why was it that the Master of Chen had only arrived as an avatar this time?

It seemed that something was wrong somewhere.

But at this moment.

The living beings of Great Xia could not care about anything more.

Simply because the Five-Race Allied Army had just withdrawn from Great Xia a moment ago.

They had even fled in a sorry state.

"The Five Races have retreated!"

"Qinzhou has returned, Tiezhou has returned!"

"The Master of Lu is dead, the Master of Chi is heavily wounded, the Allied Army Commander-in-Chief Chen Qi is dead, our Great Xia has won!"

"We won, the victory belongs to our Great Xia!"

Countless cheers rang out.

Tears welled up in the eyes of every living being from Tiezhou and Qinzhou who had lost their homes.

Some collapsed on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"The mother of my children's grave is still in Tiezhou."

"I can finally go back!"

"It's over, the war is over!"

"I have the face to see my ancestors now!"

Cries and laughter were intertwined just like that.

The Allied Army retreated, and the endless haze that had shrouded the heads of the living beings of Great Xia was dispersed at this moment.

Countless people looked toward the two great suns burning with golden light above the ocean.

"The Twin Sages of the human race!" An old man knelt on the ground, trembling.

"The Twin Sages!"

"Invincible!"

The entire world seemed to have suddenly boiled over.

Faith.

Endless faith surged forth!
