Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

In the depths of the universe, amidst this dead silence, the dense Antimatter Legion advanced like a dormant behemoth, pushing forward at an extremely slow yet determined pace.

The fleet stretched in an unbroken expanse, blotting out the sky, surrounded by a faint black energy halo; wherever they passed, stardust was silently devoured, and light was twisted into weird arcs.

It was a despair-inducing erosion, not a destruction like violent storm and rain.....

But like the tide creeping over the beach, like vines twining around grass and trees; you could clearly see its spread, sense the breath of death approaching step by step, yet be powerless to stop it......

Only able to watch helplessly as that pitch-black shadow slowly wrapped around and devoured oneself, without even a sliver of room to resist.

This massive Antimatter Legion belonged to the Destruction Envoy Gui Ji.

Inside the flagship's core, the light was dim, only the console emitting a faint pale blue glow, reflecting Gui Ji's unique silhouette.

Gui Ji raised a hand to tug at the black tie at his collar, fingertips pinching the tie's fabric, exerting slight force to loosen the tight collar a little.

He turned his head, his gaze coldly sweeping over Huan Long beside him; the numbers on the dice head changed silently, revealing a trace of hard-to-detect impatience.

Truth be told, his heart right now was full of wanting to kick Huan Long out of the flagship, even if it meant offending this fellow Destruction Envoy colleague, he would not hesitate.

That Divine Lord's perception was terrifyingly keen; as long as he sensed a trace of Huan Long's aura, even across several galaxies he would come killing.

Gui Ji mused inwardly that with his own strength, even if Xuan Ge really came killing, he would have to pay some price, plus the entire army would be wiped out just to intercept him.

But if that happened, he would likely become a commander with no troops, which was absolutely unacceptable to him.

Fingertips lightly stroking the edge of the dice head, Gui Ji took a deep breath, suppressing the impatience at the bottom of his heart.

The numbers on the dice head shifted, tone flat and unruffled, yet carrying a hint of detachment:

"Huan Long, you and I seek different things, our paths are also completely different; you want to deal with Xuan Ge, why come to me for help?"

Huan Long was leaning against the console not far away, a black long dress setting off her skin whiter than snow, long hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders.

A charming, moving smile hung on her face, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, her eyes brimming with seductive desire, like a honey-tempered blade, both alluring and dangerous.

Hearing Gui Ji's words, she gently straightened up, her skirt hem sweeping the floor, emitting a faint sound.

Huan Long walked slowly to Gui Ji's front, fingertips lightly brushing across his dice head, tone carrying a few parts seductive softness:

"Hehe~ Gui Ji, your words are treating me as an outsider."

"Right now the Xianzhou are busy hunting the Abundance allied forces, Xuan Ge is stretched thin, even Xing Xiao is trapped by him in the General's Mansion; isn't this precisely the best time for us to act?"

Gui Ji tilted his head slightly, avoiding her fingertips, a trace of speechlessness flashing in his eyes.

He of course knew this was the timing, but Xuan Ge's strength was right there, fundamentally not something easily shaken.

He really wanted to say: Bro, I'm on the Destruction Abundance path, while you're on the Destruction Hunt path.

The one who needs to face Xuan Ge is you! Not me!

Constrained by the bond of being fellow Destruction Envoys, Gui Ji still patiently said:

"Just relying on the three of us — you, me, and Xing Xiao trapped in the General's Mansion — we fundamentally cannot kill him."

"Xuan Ge's Divine Lord authority is no simple matter; even joining forces we may not be his match."

Speaking here, Gui Ji paused, the corner of his mouth hooking a mocking arc, voice carrying a trace of hard-to-detect teasing:

"Of course, it's not that there's no way. Wait for me and Xing Xiao to join forces, fix Xuan Ge's 'cause', trap him, you unleash your strongest strike!"

"Give Xuan Ge a big firework, and perhaps we can thoroughly solve this trouble."

The upturned corners of Huan Long's mouth instantly pressed down slightly, her smile faded a few degrees, the charm in her eyes retreated, a trace of icy coldness flashing through.

How could she not hear that Gui Ji was deliberately mocking her; ostensibly offering a plan, in reality letting her trade her own life for Xuan Ge's life.

While Gui Ji and Xing Xiao would retreat unscathed.

Huan Long subconsciously clenched her hands; she really wanted to slap Gui Ji's dice head flying.

But she knew clearly, Xuan Ge was precisely her roadblock....

Other Xianzhou were still manageable, but the Shen Wu Xian Zhou gave her a genuine headache.

Moreover, she also hadn't expected that back then that Shu Hu filled with Abundance feces would launch a surprise attack on the Luo Fu Xian Zhou.....

Subsequently triggering the Yin Yue Rebellion because of the Shu Hu chaos; at the time she was still watching the Xianzhou Alliance's spectacle.....

And then it hard-generated Xuan Ge, the strongest in history.....

After the Shen Wu Xian Zhou appeared, she didn't even dare show her face, from across a galaxy, distantly glanced at Xuan Ge's appearance....

And then was chased by Xuan Ge across several galaxies to be killed.....

Huan Long took a deep breath, suppressed the surging in her heart, completely withdrew the smile on her face, expression becoming solemn and serious:

"You can let Xing Xiao continue staying by Xuan Ge's side~~"

Pausing, a trace of mischief flashed in her eyes, a charming smile hung on her face again, tone carrying a few parts teasing:

"Just don't know, our Destruction's Monarch of Extinction, in the end, will he completely fall, becoming the Hunt General's wife~"

"Hm?"

Gui Ji visibly froze for a moment, the aura around him also pausing for a moment.

Hearing these words, only then did he truly regard Huan Long, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Xing Xiao's disposition, cold and aloof, proud and arrogant, how could she possibly be moved by Xuan Ge?

Huan Long looked at Gui Ji's startled appearance, the mischief in her eyes deepening.

She raised her right hand, index finger lightly brushing across her own cheek, then stopping at her lips, making an ambiguous gesture.

Seeing Gui Ji had completely listened in, she slowly lowered her hand, continuing:

"Although I am a Suiyang, not counting as a true human, I am still a woman ah~~"

"As for a woman's mind, I understand it better than you."

She chuckled lightly, her tone carrying a few parts determined mockery:

"Hehe~ With Xing Xiao's extremely cold and extremely stubborn personality, being entangled by Xuan Ge for so long, I'm afraid she'll be played by him until she's dizzy, falling in completely."

Huan Long lowered her eyes slightly, Xing Xiao's cold and lofty appearance flashing through her mind, and she couldn't help but ponder secretly:

With Xing Xiao's personality, if she mingles with Xuan Ge for a long time, she will definitely develop extremely complex emotions toward him....

Hating his overbearing entanglement, hating his arbitrary and reckless behavior, but over time, she would unknowingly be attracted by his dominance and persistence.....

In the end, she would only become both loving and hating, love and hate overlapping.

Such a Xing Xiao would probably become paranoid and crazy, living into a yandere appearance that even she herself doesn't recognize......

Thinking of this, Huan Long stopped thinking further.

She really couldn't connect Xing Xiao's usual appearance of keeping people thousands of miles away with that posture of turning into a cold yandere upon seeing Xuan Ge.

Of course, Xing Xiao has her own temperament; even if she falls into Shen Wei's embrace, she can still only be the Monarch of Extinction...

Just the Hunt version....

This is also the reason she wants to go save Xing Xiao.

If Xing Xiao really becomes love-brained, the only one with a headache will be her.....

Gui Ji fell silent for a moment, the pips on his Dice Head shifting, his tone carrying a trace of gravity, as he spoke a fatal question:

"But Fen Feng doesn't want to deal with us....."

"You also know, once Fen Feng involves Xuan Ge's matters, he has always ignored them completely; even if we go invite him personally, he absolutely won't come."

Hearing this, Huan Long slightly furrowed her delicate brows, a trace of hard-to-detect gravity flashing in her eyes.

But after just a moment, her brows quickly relaxed again, a confident smile hanging on her face once more:

"It's fine, no matter without Fen Feng, the three of us are enough."

"Xing Xiao is ultimately still of the Destruction Forces; even if Xuan Ge flies into a rage, she absolutely won't let Xuan Ge hurt us in the slightest."

Hearing this, Gui Ji's Dice Head shook slightly, nodding with extreme difficulty.

How could he not hear Huan Long's thoughts.

Huan Long's "Xing Xiao won't let Xuan Ge hurt us," to put it bluntly, is having Xing Xiao charge to the front, acting as their cannon fodder.

If Xuan Ge really moves with killing intent, the first to die is Xing Xiao, then.... then it's them.

Huan Long raised her eyes, her gaze passing through the flagship's Observation Window, looking out at that vast, boundless Antimatter Legion, her tone carrying a few parts unwillingness:

"The Legion...... also leave it for now, have them stay here on standby."

Gui Ji nodded, his tone full of agreement, even carrying a trace of self-mockery:

"Right, bringing the Legion would just be sending merit to the Shen Wu Army."

Finishing these words, Gui Ji's gaze became complex, his heart unable to help but ripple with a trace of strangeness.

He turned his head to look at the control console Screen, at his own seemingly massive Antimatter Legion, then thought of Xuan Ge's Shen Wu Army, his heart full of emotion.

Xuan Ge's generals and officers, each and every one are experts of various Paths, and likewise no lack of Destruction Path people.

Although none are at the Envoy level, they were trained by that madman Xuan Ge into each and every one being able to fight well, with formidable strength.

Gui Ji couldn't help but complain in his heart: What decent person stuffs all the veterans into the Fifth Army?

By conventional logic, the First Army should be where veterans gather and the strongest main force, but Xuan Ge just had to go against the grain.

The First Army is all fresh recruits just enlisted, yet personally led by him, time and again charging into the most dangerous battlefields, growing rapidly in actual combat;

While those battle-hardened veterans were all arranged into the Fifth Army, becoming the Logistics Army for when the Shen Wu Army deploys.....
