Chapter 592: A Blessing in Disguise

Li Hao nodded, and the two walked away as if no one else were there. Compared to the Dragon Girl, Li Hao was more interested in Xilian. This was probably the first time Ning Long had encountered such a cold reception. Gaia and Gasimi on the side were already stunned; Gaia had just prepared to muster the courage to get close to Ning Long, but Ning Long had already left.

In the luxurious room, Li Hao and Defatandisi sat on opposite sides, with high-quality human coffee placed on the table. "The Sea People have been catching up quickly in this regard." Defatandisi poured a cup for each of them. "Although the place has changed, it is still hard to change one's taste. After humans joined the Star Alliance, my Youzi has had a much better time. I thought you were dead; Nangong's act of occupying the magpie's nest was actually successful." Li Hao said, "It's been a long time since I've encountered something like this."

Defatandisi took a deep breath. He had long since grown accustomed to this over the past few years. Seeing Li Hao, it was as if the memories of the past were all awakened at once, still so clear. After just adapting to the life of a Celestial, his first thought was revenge—to use the power of a higher civilization he had mastered to crush his former opponent. But then, the thought became dull. The former Solar System, to his current high level, no longer held any meaning. The gap was too vast; he had to face a game at a higher level. Even so, Defatandisi had actually paid some attention to the dynamics of humans.

In essence, regardless of whether there was a civilization war or not, the Solar System had already matured and would inevitably join the Star River Alliance. He just thought the winner would be Nangong Yuhang. He wouldn't have minded giving Nangong Yuhang a surprise, but it turned out that Li Hao had occupied his body, mastered the resources of the Nangong Family and the Meraphis Family, and was also controlling Noah's Ark. A hand of winning cards had actually lost.

Afterwards, he had collected some information about the Solar System. Although it wasn't complete, he still found it incredible. This showed that Li Hao not only had strength, but the fortune he carried was truly extraordinary. He was truly moved; too many things had happened over these years, and it would be no exaggeration to describe it as "the sea turning into mulberry fields."

Defatandisi had the same expression. "Yes, what is fate? It cannot be guessed, but that is exactly the interesting part. I thought I was dead, but the death of the flesh is not the end; the Spirit is the most important thing." "We know too little about the universe," Li Hao smiled.

When he first saw "Xilian," whose body had been occupied by Nangong Yuhang, Li Hao had felt something strange, but he really hadn't thought in other directions. It was only after a series of events occurred later that he realized it.

However, the real Xilian, whom everyone thought was dead, had transformed into a great noble of the Seventh Art Federation, the Level 69 Sergeant Major Defatandisi. The only thing that hadn't changed was that he was still a bit of a chosen one, and his life was still that good—or rather, even better. Even if Nangong Yuhang had succeeded, he would probably have been so angry he would have vomited blood. After all that scheming, the result didn't even reach Xilian's starting point.

Defatandisi's gaze was very calm. With his experience and height, he was able to face anything with composure. "What is life? How is the Spirit born, destroyed, or transferred? With the power of the Celestial, it is still not understood." "At the moment of death, I felt like I was falling into a boundless black hole. In an instant, everything I had experienced appeared. At that moment, I knew I had lost." "Haha, fortunately you won." This result still made Defatandisi feel quite good. In essence, he and Li Hao had no conflict; the real enemy was Nangong Yuhang.

"How did you arrive in this body? Rebirth, transmigration, or possession?" Li Hao asked with interest. This had the flavor of a protagonist template; it was quite fierce.

"None of those," Defatandisi smiled. "This body was supposed to be mine from the beginning." Clearly, Xilian—now he should be called Defatandisi—was not willing to share everything with Li Hao, and Li Hao didn't care too much; he was just curious.

The Bleem that Nangong Yuhang received came from Theseus. It could be seen that a dimensional creature of Theseus's power level should belong to the lower end. Then what about Defatandisi? Who was it that made his Spirit escape death and parasitize this body? The person who did it was definitely not Theseus. Theseus might send a text message, but he did not have the ability to migrate a Spirit, especially such a "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" ability, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

What was behind Defatandisi? It shouldn't be Da B, but in terms of power level, it should be at a similar level to Da B, perhaps even more capable than Da B. Look at his treatment, and then look at his own. The two stared at each other for a while, both looking for the other's flaws and depth, and then after a while, both laughed. "What is our relationship now?" Li Hao asked. Don't expect the other party to really have any good feelings for him; laughing is laughing, and being wild is being wild. The former Xilian wouldn't have had any, and the current Defatandisi would have even less.

Defatandisi was silent for a while. "At least not enemies, don't you think? Not friends, not opponents, and not exactly enemies. The interests between the two of us will probably depend on our respective goals." Defatandisi currently had his own major mission. With his current status and power, there was even less need to fear. This didn't exist; it was just that in the absence of a conflict of interest, Defatandisi was not willing to have a mortal enemy. Being able to take down Nangong Yuhang, who occupied the right time, place, and people, and coming to the Ruling Anthem to talk to him face-to-face without any fear—this was not a dream.

Li Hao was not necessarily that kind of person either. More importantly, there was absolutely no conflict between him and Li Hao, and there was plenty of room for good cooperation. As for how to cooperate, it depended on whether Li Hao was sensible and how much ability he had. "I think so too. I know you're not a sentimental person, but if you have time, you can still go back to the Moon to take a look," Li Hao said. Klein, Li Xiangshan, and Dawaer were all there. Anlita was dead; the one she liked should have been you. Defatandisi's expression dimmed slightly. "I know. Very well, we'll gather if there's a chance. What about you? What are your plans for coming to the Ruling this time?"

"Stumbling into it, I suppose. Mainly to learn. You also know the situation with humans," Li Hao said. Defatandisi thought of that Orc and nodded. "Do you need me to step in regarding the Orcs?" Defatandisi said it casually.

Li Hao glanced at Defatandisi. People are hard to change, testing him, huh? "What do you think?"

Defatandisi smiled, looking at Li Hao, and Li Hao looked at Defatandisi—the most familiar strangers. Defatandisi didn't want to touch Li Hao, and Li Hao didn't want to stir things up at this stage either. If possible, joining forces with Defatandisi would be a good choice; they could each get what they needed. It was just that he didn't have any chips the other party needed right now. Without chips, don't talk about demands.

After finishing the cup of coffee, Defatandisi did ask about some old acquaintances, but there was no lingering attachment. The slight changes in his facial expressions couldn't be taken seriously. He wasn't soft-hearted back then, let alone now. Lingering attachment usually meant one hadn't encountered anything better.

The two walked out side by side, only to find that the eyes outside the hall were almost instantly focused on them. Everyone guessed that Defatandisi was probably a bit curious about the "human" species, but they didn't expect the conversation to last so long.

Gaia, Kuta, and Gasimi surrounded Li Hao like curious babies. "Ring Chief, what's the situation? Are you very familiar with Defatandisi?" "Not very familiar." Li Hao didn't know how to put it. He had just promised Defatandisi that the past was the past. This was a sign of goodwill from the other party; after all, if he hadn't let it go, Li Hao would also have been one of the "accomplices."

"Ring Chief, you don't seem to know who Defatandisi is. He became the number one on the Heavenly Ladder in the Zhuque War Zone after being in the Ruling for only a year. He is hailed as the peerless genius of the Celestials in a hundred years. His strength is unfathomable, and he was born in the Heavenly Human World, in the most mysterious Cthulhu Family. That is a top family that has come down from the Galaxy Era."

As for his birth? Gaia of Lastaya was relatively clear about it. Defatandisi was truly low-key, and truly fierce. Here, he was truly more terrifying than Haosen, it was just that this wasn't the Seventh Art Federation.

Li Hao said, "Oh, that powerful?" "Ring Chief, 'powerful' can't describe him. I've even heard his name in the Qiangzhi Empire." Gasimi blinked her little eyes, full of questions. Why was the Ring Chief so familiar with a Cthulhu powerhouse? A Level 69 Sergeant Major, and it only took him a year—looking at the entire history of the Star River Alliance's Anthem, that was a top-ten speed.

"Weren't you all just as curious when you first met me? And Dasha, too. After all, from the perspective of rarity, I am unique—the most expensive one," Li Hao laughed.

Pfft~~ Dao Yahu's huge body sat down again with a thud. "Li Hao, Defatandisi let you live a little longer. Are you going to come with me obediently, or do you want me to do it myself?"

"Dao Yahu, that's going too far. This is my friend!" Kuta said. He wasn't afraid of the Orc, and the Orc didn't dare do anything to him. Dao Yahu wasn't angry at all; he bared his teeth and smiled. "Lord Kuta, you can't say it like that. Your friend killed my brother. This is a grudge between us humans and Orcs. If it were you, what would you do?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Jincancan Family. Even if you talk until the sky falls, you have to be reasonable. However, for your sake, I will duel him once. Regardless of victory or defeat, this matter ends here!"

"Dao Yahu, you're a Star Sergeant Major, aren't you ashamed to say such things?" Gaia said.

Dao Yahu glanced at Gaia indifferently. "You have no say here. Without reaching the level of Palani, there is simply no cross-species influence."

Li Hao stopped Gaia and Gasimi. "Fine, let's do it as you say." Dao Yahu glanced at Li Hao and nodded. The prey was so straightforward, he wasn't in a hurry for a moment. If Li Hao dared to play tricks, he would definitely make this human regret being born!
