Chapter 183: Pursuing Longlin Star

Longlin Star seemed to be mired, and as a flagship equal to Aolake—indeed theoretically one level higher—and now empowered by an ancient artifact, it could not instantly break free from Xisi's grip.

At this moment the surrounding Rebel Forces warships were utterly stunned; those still choosing to follow Abadon now—either they are relentless against the Empire, or they truly don't know the galaxy already has a figure like Xisi.

So they all felt their worldview was shaken by this scene.

One person? Crossing the void?

Finally, he even raised his hand to hold a star?

Not......

The false emperor said there were no gods?!

Rebel fleet members stood dumbfounded by the viewport; many Astat even removed their helmets, watching with naked eyes, fearing they were hallucinating.

As they observed Xisi, some were surprised that Xisi could not fully hold Longlin Star, while he himself endured unhealable bodily pain, eyeing the Rebel Forces.

His gaze swept over; although these warships were of very ancient models, just like the other rebels.

But unlike the rebels Xisi had previously encountered, these warships did not appear particularly dilapidated.

Moreover, the scale of the rebel fleet Abadon brought this time was even comparable to the ancient legion Xisi initially pulled from the Eye of Fear.

Abadon could of course summon a rebel force of this magnitude, and during the Age of Endless War he had even drawn larger ones.

But the problem is......

Xisi glanced at the fleet that had rushed in behind him to support, then at the rebel fleet before him.

He for the first time doubted whether the Eye of Fear could truly pull a fleet out of Subspace?!

Until a Macro Cannon struck Xisi head‑on, its violent explosion forcibly crushed his doubts.

The Macro Cannon erupted with a massive boom and smoke.

The surrounding rebels tensed, and Abadon showed an excited anticipation.

Yet even though the Macro Cannon hit Xisi directly, Longlin Star's speed did not slow at all.

When the flames faded, Xisi still stood in mid‑air, and the golden sun remained intact.

Xisi didn't even glance; he simply extended his right hand toward the rebel warship firing the Macro Cannon.

Golden light glittered; while single‑handedly holding Longlin Star, Xisi casually waved, and under the rebels' suddenly widened eyes, he crushed a warship with a pinch!

Then, once the rebels finally reacted amid the roar, the once‑raging rebel force instantly split into two groups!

One group continued to fire wildly at Xisi in concert with Longlin Star, while the other, standing by the viewport, shouted feverishly at Xisi and immediately swung their cannons to fire at the 'comrades' from minutes earlier.

Support from Xisi's own legion had not yet arrived, yet Abadon's fleet was already embroiled in internal conflict.

Inside Longlin Star, Washituoer was frantically boosting the ancient artifact's power, trying to usher the warship into an evacuation channel.

Abadon, watching his own fleet's 'abandon darkness, embrace light' efficiency so high, was so infuriated his teeth ached.

Then he complained, looking at Washituoer:

"I told you not to bring those Whisperers, you just wouldn't believe!"

Abadon grumbled, while Washituoer was so busy at this moment he couldn't pay much attention.

He was simultaneously swinging an iron‑hammer scepter to control Longlin Star, while shouting:

"This should be said to your Divine Emperor!"

Washituoer's words instantly silenced Abadon, because although Abadon and Washituoer had imagined everything, they hadn't expected Xisi could truly bear the Divine Emperor's full divine power.

Even a single glance made it clear that Xisi's condition wouldn't last long and would result in severe injury afterward.

But what does that matter?

Before those ancient Subspace entities decided the outcome, who in this galaxy could kill Xisi? Who dares to kill Xisi?!

The Divine Emperor's boldness in placing all the pressure on Xisi stems from his certainty that even if he does nothing, the Four Gods and the chaos must still carefully protect the shared 'Xisi'.

Never allow Xisi to enter Subspace!

So since Xisi has a safety net, on this day, no one should speak of confronting Xisi.

Don't even think about it.

After all, even Terra is solely focused on fleeing; in this galaxy, who still dares to face the divine‑form Xisi?

Now they can only, with Longlin Star and the massive rebel fleet, try every means to escape the solar system, far from the divine Xisi.

Finally, as Longlin Star's edge reached the evacuation channel, that strange energy completely enveloped Longlin Star.

With the surrounding fleet covering, the Longlin Star that Xisi held tightly finally passed through the channel into a void far from the solar system.

The covering warships retreated wildly after the passage, while only the Whisperers clung protectively to Xisi.

And watching Longlin Star actually slip away from his own grasp.

Xisi glanced at the reinforcements that had rushed in behind him, after ordering Aolake to signal the rear to follow, he also pursued into the chase.

In divine form, any of the Four Gods who came would receive two slaps from Xisi!

Only when Xisi crossed the channel, about to wield divine power to hold Longlin Star again, a strange spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped Xisi at that moment.

The fluctuation caused no harm, but once it covered him, the divine power from Terra's Golden Throne was instantly cut off.

The only divine power remaining within Xisi was the maximum his mortal body could bear.

At the same time, the gods' twin eyes that had just refocused vanished instantly!

Xisi never expected this; the gods' twin eyes truly, in the literal sense, lost all tracking of Xisi.

Even at the moment the divine power was severed, Xisi sensed the Divine Emperor's eyes widen unusually, and a voice of 'Not good!' was transmitted through the divine power.

Then the channel closed!

Deprived of Terra's divine power, Xisi could no longer hold Longlin Star; under Abadon's and Washituoer's horror, Longlin Star officially leapt away.

Along with it, the surrounding equally startled strange rebel fleet also fled.

For a moment, in the dark void only Xisi and Aolake remained, while the nearest star system lay far beyond.

The solar system that had just been a battlefield was now completely gone.

Xisi helplessly turned his head to scan the surroundings, feeling his body gravely wounded after his divine power faded, and his severed connections with the gods, so he could only first return to Aolake behind him.

But when Xisi returned to the deck, an ancient Yunxuji from the 30K era was already parked on the deck.

Several Huaiyanists, upon seeing Xisi, became so excited that they knelt publicly on the spot.

At the same time they kept shouting in confession, "Our god, we have committed a great sin!"

At this moment Xisi felt some doubt deep inside, curious why his gods had lost their bearings, and also curious where exactly the Divine Emperor's remark "not good" was referring to.

And the most important point...

Where on earth am I now?

Xisi finally glanced at the void behind him; though he had looked at it countless times, today for some unknown reason it seemed something was missing from the void.

But Xisi couldn't recall it right away, so he looked at the babbling Huaiyanist in front of him.

Using divine power, Xisi slowly repaired his gravely wounded body that had been forced to bear the Divine Emperor's Divine Power, and while sitting on a supply crate in front of the Huaiyanist, he moved his right hand and asked:

"What crimes have you committed?"

The Huaiyanist, seeing that Xisi actually responded, showed even greater excitement on his face; the leader bowed devoutly, and only then dared to answer:

"We should not have been deceived into stabbing the War General and causing the War General to prepare a great rebellion."

The Huaiyanist's usual confession when clearing his name, Xisi heard it and casually prepared to soothe them, but just as he opened his mouth, his expression suddenly froze.

Then, after carefully savoring the Huaiyanist's words, he was briefly stiff, then abruptly turned back to look at the galaxy again.

This time, the galaxy truly was missing something.

Xisi's eyes widened gradually, and even his breathing began to quicken.

He rigidly turned his neck, looked again at the Huaiyanist at his feet, eyes bulging, and spoke haltingly:

"What does … mean?"

"'Prepare' to launch a great rebellion?"

Xisi bit the word "prepare" especially hard, and then appended a question that the others on the deck found baffling.

"And the War General you mentioned …"

"What is his name?"

The Huaiyanist below had already, under Xisi's recent divine power, recognized Xisi as a true god, so naturally he dared not conceal anything.

The Huaiyanist bowed again, then gave a reply that left Xisi—and the entire deck—in dead silence.

"Because we have not yet formally risen, we are still in the preparation stage."

"Also, the War General …"

The Huaiyanist paused slightly, also curious about the redundancy of Xisi's question.

Fanluosi and the others thought it redundant, because isn't the War General just Abadon?

The Huaiyanist also thought it redundant, because the War General …

"Is called Helusu!"

Dead silence!

The deck was left with only dead silence!

Xisi's eyes widened gradually, and Fanluosi, Bai'er, and Xiulun also widened their eyes!

Then, under the Huaiyanist's bewilderment, they inhaled a gasp of cold air.

"What the hell is called …"

"Helusu is preparing a great rebellion?!"
