Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Damn it... I'm going to fall into the Void..."

Xuan Ge's consciousness floated suspended in a boundless blood-red space, chaotic and blurred.

Magnifying the view, this blood-red space was filled with countless pairs of blood-red, eerie eyes, dense and packed, staring dead at him, wrapped into a tangle by countless causality threads.

Those eyes were hollow, cold, carrying endless resentment and despair, as if they would utterly devour his soul.

The consciousness of billions upon billions of living beings, like a tide, frantically assaulted Xuan Ge's soul sea.

Making his consciousness become disordered, void-like, as if the next second it would completely dissipate.

He could clearly feel that the Hunt Path within his body was being torn, twisted.

As if pairs of cold wraith hands were trying to tear open his Hunt Path, and what would replace it was the Void.

Right now, he fundamentally could not use the power of causality.

Because all his "causes" had long since been bestowed upon his Shen Wu Army, providing them power, sheltering their safety.

Without cause, there is no effect.

The current him was like one who had his foundation pulled out; he could only be trapped in this blood-red space, letting countless consciousnesses assault him, letting causality threads entangle him, powerless to resist.

Even if the power of causality was still on him, he also could not quickly process these dense causality threads.

Unless he completely did not care about those blood-refined living beings, did not care about his Shen Wu Army, did not care about the Hunt Path he upheld.

But if he did that, he would completely betray his original intent, betray his Hunt Path, and instead turn toward Destruction.

"Ugh...!"

A burst of intense pain transmitted over, Xuan Ge couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

He could clearly feel that his severed right arm was being tightly pulled by those causality threads, the wound splitting open with even deeper cracks, fresh blood spurting, pain unbearable.

His body grew increasingly weak, his consciousness also increasingly blurred, as if at any moment he would be completely devoured by this blood-red space.

Simultaneously, inside the Luo Fu Xian Zhou General's Mansion, the atmosphere was heavy to the point of suffocation.

Jing Yuan sat on the main seat, looking at the battle reports transmitted from Yao Qing, Fang Hu and other Xian Zhou, brows tightly locked, expression solemn.

He quickly finished browsing the battle reports, raised his head to look at Fu Xuan standing to the side, and asked in a deep voice:

"Fu Qing, can you use the Qiong Guan Array to calculate the battle situation of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou?"

Xuan Ge's predicament made his heart faintly uneasy.

Although the Shen Wu Army currently held the upper hand, he always felt things weren't that simple; since the Feather Emperor dared to rashly send troops, he certainly had something to rely on.

"I'll try."

Fu Xuan nodded, her expression also turning solemn; she closed her eyes, formed hand seals with both hands, and remotely controlled the Tai Bu Si's Qiong Guan Array.

But a moment later, Fu Xuan violently opened her eyes, her face showing a few points of confusion and helplessness; looking at Jing Yuan's expectant gaze, she ultimately still spoke the divined content truthfully:

"According to the hexagrams... General Shen Wei gets food stuck in his teeth eating, chokes drinking water, gets caught slacking off...."

As she spoke, she also listed a huge pile of irrelevant, even somewhat outrageous trivial matters, her tone full of puzzlement.

Jing Yuan sat on the main seat, listening very seriously; although these matters sounded extremely bizarre, completely at odds with the tragic intensity of the great war.

But he always felt, within them hid a trace of something unusual.

Fu Xuan chattered on and on, and finally frowned, puzzled, and added:

"How come even a wound would get infected? What's up with this General Shen Wei? How come there are so many messy things?"

"Moreover, these chicken-feather-garlic-skin trifles actually show an extremely ominous sign on the hexagram?"

She couldn't help but complain helplessly: "Is this Qiong Guan Array broken again?"

She had resigned herself; this was already her countless-th attempt to calculate the Shen Wu Xian Zhou's battle situation.

But every time the result was absurd and bizarre, fundamentally unable to capture Xuan Ge's true predicament.

She once again tried to pry into the truth, but what met her eyes was only a patch of thick red, yet not a sliver of the unique blue-gold Hunt Light on Xuan Ge's body could be seen.

"Wait! Fu Qing, what was your previous sentence?"

Jing Yuan suddenly stood up, having completely caught a clue, and asked urgently.

Fu Xuan was startled by his sudden reaction, froze for a moment, then repeated:

"I said, these things actually show an extremely ominous sign on the hexagram?"

She looked at Jing Yuan with some puzzlement, not understanding why he would be so agitated.

"The sentence before that!"

Jing Yuan's voice rose a few more degrees, tone increasingly urgent; within his golden pupils, a trace of crimson had already flashed.

Fu Xuan set her hands on her hips, looking at Jing Yuan with a somewhat puffed-up air.

What are you shouting so loud for? Scared me!

Although somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, she still carefully recalled, and spoke truthfully:

"I said, how come even a wound would...."

Before the voice fell, Fu Xuan's voice suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

She stared wide-eyed, pupils sharply contracting; the dissatisfaction and puzzlement on her face were instantly replaced by shock.

She finally realized, the words she had just spoken, how outrageous they were.

The next second, she and Jing Yuan shouted in unison: "This isn't his causality!"

Xian Zhou Celestials are powerhouses who received the Abundance Blessing; their physical bodies are powerful to the extreme.

Even if you chop off the head, coat it in deadly poison, and reattach it, it would only cause some discomfort — a low-level situation like wound infection is fundamentally impossible!

As the Divine Might General, Xuan Ge's strength far surpasses ordinary Celestials; such a situation is even more impossible for him.

The only possibility is that these causalities do not belong to Xuan Ge at all — someone forcibly imposed causalities that are not his onto him!

"Fu Qing, come with me immediately to the Celestial Generals' Conference."

In Jing Yuan's golden pupils, the red grew increasingly dense; his tone was cold and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"I'm going to find Jing Tian and demand answers! What the hell is the source of these causalities!"

A towering rage surged from the bottom of his heart.

If these bizarre causalities are truly related to Yao Guang's illness, if it really is Yao Guang's illness that indirectly harmed Xuan Ge....

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan's gaze turned completely cold and indifferent.

Xuan Ge and he grew up together from childhood.

Xuan Ge's parents were both Cloud Knight Army elites; in the year Xuan Ge turned six, they both died in battle on the battlefield, leaving Xuan Ge alone, an orphan with no one to rely on.

He and Xuan Ge were childhood friends, and also close friends.

Back then, he learned of Xuan Ge's parents' death in battle from his father's conversation; out of unbearable sympathy, and also out of admiration, he slowly took the initiative to approach Xuan Ge, staying by his side.

This gave rise to their current friendship of life and death together.

Now, his parents have also long since passed away; the Five Cloud Cavaliers have fallen apart, shattered beyond repair — Xuan Ge is his only concern in this universe, his only close friend.

He absolutely will not allow anything to happen to Xuan Ge!

On the other side, on the main battlefield of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, the sounds of killing still shook heaven and earth.

Wei Qing rode a black horse, the Black Gold Formation Blade in his hand continuously reaping the lives of Abomination creatures, yet his mind remained constantly taut.

Suddenly, he sensed that the Hunt power on General Xuan Ge was rapidly weakening, growing fainter and fainter, as if it would completely dissipate at any moment.

Wei Qing's heart instantly sank; he subconsciously raised his head, looking toward the three Activated Planets at the sky's edge.

This one glance made his pupils shrink sharply, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

Those Causality Threads entwined on the Activated Planets — he could originally only see them vaguely, but at this moment they became incomparably clear.

Dense Causality Threads, like poisonous snakes, extended from the Activated Planets, spreading all the way, finally converging toward the General's Mansion.

"Commander Wei, the General is in danger!"

A personal guard sensed something was wrong, immediately spurred his horse to rush to Wei Qing's side, expression stern, tone urgent as he reported.

Wei Qing's gaze instantly became heavy and resolute; without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered in a deep voice:

"Return the power to the General!"

He knew that only by returning all the Hunt power the General had distributed to them could they alleviate the General's predicament, could there be a chance to break the Feather Monarch's scheme.

"Yes!"

That personal guard respectfully acknowledged the order, then turned his horse around, toward the Shen Wu Corps' formation, and shouted loudly:

"Divine Martial Guards, heed the order! Follow me to death!"

Several thousand Shen Wu Army personal guards, without the slightest hesitation, carrying the resolve to face death as if returning home, immediately charged out from the cavalry formation.

They scattered, charging crazily toward the depths of the Abundance Allied Army's battle formation.

Immediately after, violent explosion sounds rang out one after another.

"Rumble— Rumble—"

Each explosion could stir up dust filling the sky, forming a ten-thousand-meter-wide sky pit; countless Abundance abominations turned to flying ash in the explosions, leaving not even bones behind.

The Divine Martial Guards were using their lives to detonate the Hunt power within their bodies, returning all the power the General had given them to Xuan Ge!

"These Shen Wu troops are fucking ruthless!"

Abu Li Ren Priest stood far away, watching the continuous explosions, face pale, murmuring with lingering fear.

He never expected these Shen Wu troops would be so decisive — to save their General, they actually risked charging into enemy lines and directly self-destructing!

He instantly realized: the Shen Wu Army is doing this now precisely to return the power to Xuan Ge.

And on the Feather Monarch's side, they have clearly already succeeded — Xuan Ge has already fallen into a desperate situation!

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately shouted the order: "The Feather Monarch has already pinned down the Divine Might! Sons, counterattack! Kill them! Level the Shen Wu Xian Zhou!"

The originally suppressed Abundance Allied Army, upon hearing the order, instantly had their morale greatly boosted.

The Abundance Army, like madmen, launched a frenzied counterattack against the Shen Wu Army.

Simultaneously, on the Fang Hu Xian Zhou battlefield, the flames of war likewise escalated further.

The Shen Wu Army united with the Cloud Knight Army, fighting the Abundance Army to the death — corpses everywhere, rivers of blood.

As Commander, Bai Qi naturally had to lead from the front, charging into battle.

He rushed at the very front of the battlefield; every swing of the weapon in his hand could take five or six Abundance abomination lives.

Just then, a clear cold voice came from the sky; the originally icy tone now carried a few traces of worry difficult to conceal:

"Commander Bai, the Special Weapon's power has dissipated...."

Bai Qi's movements instantly froze.

"What!?"

He abruptly raised his head, eyes sharp, made a hand gesture — the charging cavalry instantly halted, formation neat, not the slightest chaos.

His gaze looked toward the sky, landing on that Giant Ice Dragon's dragon head.

There stood a woman clad in ice-blue clothing — precisely Han Yuan Jun.

One of Bai Qi's personal guards immediately spurred his horse to rush to his side, expression heavy, urgently saying:

"Commander Bai, give the order — activate the Backup Plan!"

Bai Qi slowly nodded, a trace of worry and anger flashing in his eyes.

That Special Weapon had the General's Hunt power entwined on it, infinite power — one strike could pierce stars; a mere Activated Planet was fundamentally not worth fearing.

But now, the power of the Special Weapon had actually dissipated.

He knew Clearest what this meant — the General had definitely Encountered major Trouble!

"Wei Qing!"

Bai Qi's eyes, in an Instant, flickered with Crimson light, his Cold Tone gritting his teeth as he said:

"General Has Issue, I Ghost Not Let Go of you!"

Finish Speaking, he no longer hesitated, leading his personal guards, toward the Sky Edge Activated Planet's landing point, Gallop away.
