Chapter 1298: General Star

General Star

"Ultimately, he still went to the Ghost Mockery Abyss..."

At the edge of the South Sea Domain.

A figure holding a small hammer slowly passed through the corpses strewn all over the ground.

His blood-stained overcoat danced in the wind. Beneath his elegant exterior, a restless madness seemed to be hidden. Chu Muyun looked up at the centipede legion disappearing into the tear in the sky, a touch of complexity surfacing in his eyes...

"I thought we could make him stay this time."

"There are always some people who cannot be made to stay."

A figure wearing a peaked cap appeared silently on the high wall behind him. He sat casually by the edge of the wall with his legs crossed. Those eyes also gazed into the distance. A few strands of black hair hung down lightly from his temples at the edge of the peaked cap, and Snake Earrings swayed in the wind,

"He isn't an Ordinary Person like us... the waves of fate will always push him to different places."

Bai Ye shrugged. "Whether you are is hard to say, but I am anyway."

"It's just, is what's pushing him... really just fate?"

"That depends on how you understand 'fate'."

"Oh?"

"Artificially pushed fate is also a kind of fate." Bai Ye rubbed his chin lightly, thoughtful. "Him being forced back to the Ghost Mockery Abyss this time should have been pushed by some existence... Don't you think everything was a bit too coincidental?"

"Some existence? Is it a Calamity, or... a human?"

"Hard to say, might be both."

"What a grand setup."

Chu Muyun sighed. "Then can he still come back in the future?"

"That Calamity probably doesn't want him to come back... but as for that person... hehe." The corner of Bai Ye's mouth curled up slightly. "It depends on which of those two can outplay the other... I'm quite looking forward to it."

Chu Muyun was silent for a long time,

"The fear is that they play too far, and by then, even if Chen Ling is allowed to come back... he won't come back either."

"Then that's not something we should worry about. That's the boss's family matter. Why should we two working mules join in the fun?" Bai Ye nimbly jumped down from the city wall and turned to look at Chu Muyun,

"But in any case, I also came all the way from far away to help... it's not too much to ask you to treat me to a meal, right?"

"...Speak, what do you want to eat?"

Bai Ye glanced at the Forbidden Sea Calamities falling plop-plop from the distant sky and licked his lips lightly,

"I want to eat seafood."

...

Seeing Chen Ling's figure disappear from within the South Sea Domain, in the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, Chu Changqing's gaze gradually returned to calmness.

"I originally thought you would directly attack him and forcibly expel him from the South Sea Domain."

Outside the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, The Blind Man finally walked slowly behind Chu Changqing, his expression somewhat emotional,

"I just did a Divination defying the backlash. The current him truly cannot casually use the power of the Calamity of Mockery. Even if you killed him once here, the South Sea Domain wouldn't encounter too much risk...

But I didn't expect you would actually choose to use the Integration Faction to test him...

Haven't you always loathed the Calamity of Mockery? How were you certain he would voluntarily leave for those children?"

Chu Changqing spoke flatly, "I wasn't certain."

"...Hm?"

"Actually, even now I still can't believe it... He would actually be willing to voluntarily swallow the Vow Gu-Insect for those children."

Chu Changqing paused for a moment. "Perhaps that Enforcer was right. He truly has already separated his own personality from the Calamity of Mockery, or perhaps... this is also part of the Calamity of Mockery's plan.

But regardless, at least in this war between humanity and the World-Ending Calamities, our greatest threat has been resolved."

"Mhm... as long as we can repel the Forbidden Sea this time, the South Sea Domain will be safe in the short term. With Pu Guizong holding the fort, you can also free up your hands to support other Domains." The Blind Man repeatedly pinched his fingers inside his sleeves, as if deducing something.

"The person you prophesied before, when will they arrive at the South Sea Domain?"

"Are you talking about that General Star who will slay a World-Ending Calamity in the future?"

"Yes."

"Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon... That General Star possesses a power that restrains World-Ending Calamities. As long as we can make him stay in the South Sea Domain, our odds of winning in this war will greatly increase once more."

"Send more manpower to the edge of the Domain. Once you discover someone approaching the South Sea Domain, report immediately."

"Yes."

Boom——!!!

As Chu Changqing's words fell, the lake surface that had originally calmed down once again rippled in waves!

A muffled loud boom came from beneath the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake. The icy seawater continued to pour backward from the sky. The brief peace was broken with Chen Ling's departure. The Forbidden Sea launched an offensive against the South Sea Domain once again!

Chu Changqing's gaze gradually became solemn. The aura of the Nine Monarchs surged from his body. Those pupils, like cyan suns, stared at the emptiness above...

The entire Domain rumbled under Chu Changqing's aura!!

He took a step out,

In the next second, his figure directly disappeared from the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake...

When he reappeared, he had already arrived outside the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle's shell. His long hair danced wildly amidst the surging icy sea waves. The Lord of the South Sea's aura collided without reservation against the Calamity of Taboo, and a terrifying hurricane swept across heaven and earth!

At this moment, everyone's hearts hung in suspense...

They knew that the critical moment determining the life and death of the South Sea Domain, and even the subsequent direction of the war between the Human Domains and the World-Ending Calamities, had arrived.

Of course,

All this had nothing to do with Chen Ling anymore.

The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe fluttered atop the head of the hideous centipede. The Forbidden Sea seawater that had originally submerged the land sensibly parted to both sides, clearing a spacious path for Chen Ling.

The centipede legion continuously advanced deep into the Gray World along this path. The outline of the South Sea Domain gradually receded in Chen Ling's field of vision.

Chen Ling saw the Calamity of Taboo's massive body slowly stand up from the bottom of the deep sea. Countless bizarre, twisted, and massive tentacles blotted out the sky;

He also saw Chu Changqing step into the frontline battlefield, fighting the Calamity of Taboo without reservation... Chu Changqing's aura was like a cyan scorching sun in the dark night, so powerful and dazzling. And behind Chu Changqing, that Ancestor of the Pu Family was like hazy moonlight, silently cooperating with Chu Changqing's attacks, rolling towards the Calamity of Taboo.

One World-Ending Calamity, one of the Nine Monarchs, one Path of the Scholar God Demigod.

Three Rank 9s just fought each other like this. The sweeping aftershocks of the battle swept across a thousand miles. Even Chen Ling, who had already walked very far away, felt his heart palpitate endlessly.

The rejection reaction from swallowing the Vow Gu-Insect earlier had already subsided, and Chen Ling's body had also returned to normal. At this moment, his mood was very calm. The Forbidden Sea and the South Sea Domain, no matter who won or lost, it didn't matter to him...

No,

Chen Ling suddenly thought that the children of the Integration Faction were still residing in the South Sea Domain. If the South Sea Domain was slaughtered by the Forbidden Sea, these children would also have no way out...

If that was the case, he still hoped the South Sea Domain would have a better chance of winning.
