Chapter 278: The Three-Month Deadline, A Great Surprise from Heaven!

~9 min read 1,694 words

However, Ye Bai did not interact with the prodigies from other countries for very long.

It was just that after the Great Xia prodigies all went out for a trip and returned, the prodigy squad from Beijing Martial Arts University left for another trip.

They felt that the number of prodigies from other countries gathered now was not very large, and wanted to try to see if they could find a few more.

Everyone was waiting for them now.

Yet at this moment, they suddenly returned with expressions of terror!

"Quick, let's get into the palace!"

"Those six Alien Race members have gone mad!

They charged over together from one direction, destroying everything in their path, seemingly intending to destroy the entire Yiji! They won't let a single Human Race prodigy go!"

"And they are very close to us now!"

The people had not arrived, but the telepathic message had!

The six Alien Race members were sweeping across everything in their path with the momentum to destroy Heaven and Earth!

If one could see them up close at this time.

One could see that whether it was Qinglong or Mieshihou, or the other four Royal Clan members, their expressions were frantic and their eyes were incomparably venomous!

"Ye Bai is dead, we don't want to be buried with him!

We must destroy the entire Yiji, we must grind every Human Race prodigy into fragments!

So that even the Emperors of our race won't discover our dereliction of duty!!"

This was the reason for the six Alien Race members' extreme madness!

They knew Ye Bai's final disappearance was because a Substitute Puppet had been triggered.

However, not to mention that most Substitute Puppets only have the sole function of sending the holder away from the battlefield, only higher-cost Substitute Puppets possess simple healing abilities.

Ye Bai triggered it too late.

They had paused at that time precisely because they saw that Ye Bai was already on the verge of death! He wouldn't even live for another minute!

Therefore, they were certain that even if Ye Bai triggered a Substitute Puppet, he was bound to die.

Thus, they decided to destroy everything; during this time, they would not even release their Mental Power to scout, wanting Ye Bai's corpse to be ground into fragments without anyone knowing!

And on Ye Bai's side.

Ye Bai did not know the true thoughts of the six Alien Race members, thinking their madness was because he had ultimately left their encirclement alive, and they were therefore very angry.

"Go, enter the tunnel!"

He said immediately!

The group entered the tunnel simultaneously!

They descended all the way.

After descending nearly a thousand meters, they finally saw a palace that was magnificent and golden, simultaneously emitting a thick, extraordinary aura.

And those Altars were located within these palaces!

It is worth mentioning that in other places of opportunity within the Yiji, one only enters the Different Space after stepping onto an Altar and officially starting the challenge; moreover, according to a Great Xia prodigy whose second talent was of the deciphering type, the time for conducting challenges and digesting opportunities within the Different Space is limited.

One must start the challenge within 24 hours and cannot linger inside doing nothing for a long time.

And within one month after successfully completing the challenge, one must either completely digest or take away the opportunity; in short, one must leave the Different Space.

Before this, Zhu Peng and the others thought this gathering place of opportunities was the same!

This was something Zhu Huang had told Ye Bai earlier, and it was also the reason why Ye Bai only felt that this opportunity could buy time for him and the other prodigies to develop, rather than letting him hide in the Different Space until he was invincible.

"Everyone, listen to me now!"

"After arriving at the palace, everyone find an Altar you are confident you can pass the trial of at the fastest speed, and activate it immediately!"

"Then we agree to leave the Different Space one month from now, at the same time as today!"

Zhu Peng, in any case, covered the area with her Mental Power and sent a group telepathic message before officially stepping into the palace grounds!

Once the six Alien Race members discovered the anomaly here, they would at the very least arrange for one Alien Race member to guard this place! Or even worse, when they came out, they would have to face all six Alien Race members at once!

Because after such a long time, other places in the Yiji would surely have been swept clean!

Therefore, in her plan, everyone only had one chance to obtain an opportunity. They must start the trials simultaneously and come out of the Different Space at the same time to start the final decisive battle with the six Alien Race members!

However, to everyone's surprise...

"Swish swish!"

When the group officially landed in the palace.

With the palace as the center, the surrounding space actually underwent distortion and changes.

The entire palace had actually entered the Different Space simultaneously!

Furthermore, a line of golden text appeared above the palace at this moment.

It was a countdown.

"2159:59:59"

A period of three months!

"This?!" Zhu Peng was stunned.

"It seems this is indeed the contingency left behind by the Human Race predecessors who built this Yiji! That person had long considered the situation where the Yiji might fall into the control of the Alien Race and be used to target Human Race prodigies," Ye Bai's eyes flashed.

He guessed that the reason the palace had not entered the Different Space before was because the number of Human Race prodigies who entered was insufficient; once the number of Human Race prodigies met the standard, a hidden mechanism would be triggered.

It directly changed the original rules, buying three months of development time for all the prodigies!

"That's great!"

Following that, whether it was Zhu Peng's group or Lie Jie and the other prodigies from other countries, joy appeared on their faces.

The entire palace was located within the Different Space, and the time was three months, which meant that each of them could obtain more than just one opportunity!

And just one opportunity was inherently unlikely to be enough to allow their strength to transform to the point of being able to contend with the six Alien Race members!

Before, it was only out of necessity that the decision was made to trigger the final decisive battle after obtaining one opportunity.

Now that they had the possibility of becoming stronger, the chance of leaving the Yiji alive was also much greater!

"Everyone, although we have ample time now, there is no time to lose; let us begin the path to becoming stronger!"

Zhu Peng said again.

Then, it was officially announced that the crowd of heaven's pride experts could search for the opportunities they could obtain!

All the Human Race heaven's pride experts began to take action.

Those of the Sixth Grade went to find the Altars guarded by the Iron-Armored Men.

Those of the Seventh Grade went to find the Altars guarded by the Copper-Armored Men.

Even the top-tier heaven's pride experts like Zhu Peng and Lie Jie, because of the ample time, dismissed their initial thoughts of going directly to challenge the Altars guarded by the Silver-Armored or even Gold-Armored Men.

They prepared to start by forging the prototype of the Immortal Golden Body.

Ye Bai... was the only exception!

He stood in place without moving, only slowly releasing his Mental Power to cautiously investigate the entire Palace Complex.

"Brother-in-law, are you not going to obtain an opportunity?" Zhu Peng asked.

"I don't really need one, and I want to look around to see where Qingqing has gone," Ye Bai said.

His goal was simply to enter a safe Different Space and exploit bugs to his heart's content, and in his view, even if the benefits provided by the Silver-Armored or Gold-Armored Men's trials were more astonishing than those of the Silver-Armored Men's trials, it would ultimately just be a matter of him exploiting a bug once.

And since Li Qingqing had entered the Palace Complex a step ahead, Ye Bai wanted to see which Palace she was currently in, so that he could meet up with the young girl the moment she came out!

"Alright then." Zhu Peng simply assumed Ye Bai was a monster beyond her imagination and left.

Ye Bai's Mental Power also discovered a place where the Altar inside a Palace had already disappeared!

"Is Qingqing here?

"No, that's not right; there are actually other Altars in other Palaces that have also disappeared..."

However, just as a look of joy flashed in Ye Bai's eyes, he discovered that there were Altars in Palaces even deeper inside that had already disappeared!

And observing carefully, these two Altars were located in the middle section of the entire Palace area, most likely at the level of the Copper-Armored Men.

Intuition told Ye Bai that the opportunity obtained by Li Qingqing, who could make the Palace beneath the sinkhole appear, was definitely different from a normal opportunity!

"Did other Human Race heaven's pride experts enter the Palace without anyone knowing?"

Ye Bai shook his head and didn't pay any more attention to this matter.

He did not know that the ones who activated these two Altars were Buchuan Xiongzhao and Apollo, the fuse that would lead to the future rift and even the outbreak of war between the Great Heaven Kingdom and the Great Sun Remnant...

The two of them had fled while the six members of the Alien Race went to find Ye Bai, and by good fortune, they also arrived where the Palaces were, and at that time, the crowd of Great Xia heaven's pride experts had all gone to the vicinity to find the surviving heaven's pride experts of other countries.

And Ye Bai's Mental Power continued to probe deeper.

Very quickly, it reached the very center of the Palace Complex!

At the location of two completely different, incomparably magnificent, and towering Palaces!

An accident suddenly occurred...
