Chapter 109: Doomsday Reboot

Su Xi jumped down from Fei Er Si Te's arms, her whole body surging with angry flames, "Po Lan Ci Universe, Zhenyue Deity! I've remembered you. Just wait until the next war; I'll slaughter you!"

Fei Er Si Te: "... So, after I withdrew, you were ambushed?"

Su Xi nodded, "Yes. He has a peeping-type skill and saw Qing Kong giving me over a dozen cards."

Speaking of this, Su Xi's face was full of heartache, "I must slaughter him and snatch them back."

"Male or female?" Fei Er Si Te asked.

"Male," Su Xi replied.

"Then leave it to me; I'll avenge you."

"No, I have to avenge myself to feel better." Su Xi looked at him, "I want to level up!"

Fei Er Si Te checked the system, "The next battlefield opens in thirty days. I'll send you to a trial planet in another timeline where one day equals a thousand years. How does that sound?"

"That's great! Thank you, Xiao Yan!" Su Xi hugged him and gave him a forceful kiss.

Fei Er Si Te gazed at her earnestly, "Did it hurt a lot?"

Su Xi's slender, soft hand was stroking his waist; she was slightly stunned upon hearing his words, "What hurt a lot?"

Fei Er Si Te did not speak, his Adam's apple merely bobbed; clearly, Su Xi's teasing was very sensitive for him.

Su Xi pondered for a moment and understood, then laughed: "Isn't it just being cut in half and then resurrected? I'm going to go to every battlefield from now on, so this kind of thing is inevitable. Actually, to me, no matter how extreme the physical pain is, it doesn't compare to one ten-thousandth of the pain of losing you, so—"

Fei Er Si Te kissed her lips impatiently; how could he feel any differently!

Deities of the same universe can sense the Universe Tree belonging to their own universe.

Xiao Hao, still in the form of a small black leopard cub, found the Universe Tree seedling that Qing Kong had planted.

He wandered around the area but did not see Su Xi.

Instead, he caught the attention of a dragon deity from another universe, "What a beautiful leopard."

Xiao Hao looked at him, "Have you seen a human deity? Female..."

Jin Ming laughed, "No."

Xiao Hao turned his head and walked toward another area.

Jin Ming continued to follow him, "My name is Jin Ming; I am a deity of the Huangxu Universe."

"Huangxu?" Xiao Hao stopped in his tracks and looked up at him, "The one that attacked the Primordial Life Realm last time was the Huangxu Universe, right?"

"You are a deity of the Yuan Shou Shi." Jin Ming looked at him with a smile, "I didn't make it to that invasion, otherwise I definitely would have captured you to be my mount."

"Boastful words. Your Huangxu Universe was the losing side. If it weren't for the Peace Card rewarded by the Divine Life Battlefield, the final outcome definitely wouldn't have been limited to compensating the Primordial Life Realm with one hundred years of time Domain." Xiao Hao replied calmly.

"If I had been there, your Yuan Shou Shi would never have won." A powerful divine might suddenly erupted from Jin Ming's body.

Xiao Hao replied, "I'm in a hurry to find someone right now, I don't—"

The family system popped up a message—【Xiao Yi Yi: Big Brother, Xixi is back.】

Xiao Hao replied: 【That's good. I ran into a deity from the Huangxu Universe; I'll use him to stretch my muscles.】

After replying to the message, his whole body radiated intense battle intent, "Whoever runs is the mount!"

"Great!" Jin Ming's battle intent grew even stronger.

Sitting inside the spaceship, Qing Kong raised an eyebrow after seeing Xiao Hao's message. Between his slender, beautiful fingers appeared a black card—Anchor Eye, which allows one to return to the battlefield after leaving the God War. This card is one of the top rare cards in the God War.

After Xiao Hao died in battle last time, the resurrection period had everyone worried sick, especially his mother. If she was unhappy, his father and uncles would be unhappy, and then they, the siblings, would all have bad luck...

"Return!" Qing Kong activated the Anchor Eye.

When he arrived at the battlefield, he happened to see a giant Shenxuan Leopard in the air, locked in a struggle with a golden dragon.

The scales on the golden dragon's body were blood-stained and mottled; it had already suffered significant injuries, while the Shenxuan Leopard looked fine.

Sensing that Qing Kong had arrived, Xiao Hao glanced at him, his low voice rumbling like thunder, "What a waste."

Meaning he used an Anchor Eye card.

Qing Kong replied, "You know I love collecting rare cards; for me, I have quite a few of these."

Five more black Anchor Eye cards appeared between his fingers.

Seeing Qing Kong, Jin Ming's giant dragon pupils narrowed, "What is your relationship?"

"He is my big brother." Qing Kong put away the black Anchor Eye cards and took a piece of dried meat out of his spatial ring to chew on, "You two continue; I'm just here to watch the show."

Jin Ming had fought Qing Kong before and had wanted to capture him then, but the result was somewhat disappointing to the dragon...

"Your big brother? Aren't you from the Abel Universe?"

"Oh, I am a dual-universe deity," Qing Kong replied, "Sometimes I enter the battlefield representing the Abel Universe. We are brothers born of the same mother!"

Jin Ming immediately transformed back into human form, sucking his teeth with a helpless expression, "If you had come earlier, there wouldn't have been this misunderstanding."

He then said to Xiao Hao, "We're all on the same side; there's no need for a life-or-death struggle."

Xiao Hao looked at Qing Kong.

Qing Kong blinked and said to Jin Ming, "I didn't know we were on the same side. But I used an Anchor Eye to get here; how about you reimburse me?"

"If I reimburse you, can I leave?" Jin Ming said as he tossed a purple card to Qing Kong, "I don't have an Anchor Eye, so take this Lucky Card as compensation."

Qing Kong caught it, "That works."

Jin Ming found a random open space, planted the Universe Tree seed, and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

Xiao Hao couldn't be bothered to chase him; he didn't like golden dragon mounts anyway.

"Su Xi has already returned, but she must have used a Resurrection Card." Xiao Hao transformed back into the appearance of a small cub.

Qing Kong then also turned into a small Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, "As long as she keeps entering the battlefield, the Resurrection Card will become her go-to card."

Xiao Hao paced toward the gray mist and glanced at the chubby little Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, "I used to think you were quite fat, but compared to Xiao Huanbao, you're actually the athletic type."

Qing Kong said, "Big Brother, why do you like the juvenile form again?"

"Sigh, only this way will Mother not urge me to marry, and she'll even make delicious food," Xiao Hao replied.

Qing Kong looked suddenly enlightened, "Big Brother is still the best; I'll also wander around in front of Mother like this from now on."

The two divine beast cubs entered the gray fog together and simultaneously opened their Divine Domain; the gods who were currently fighting immediately dodged away.

After Xiao Hao and Qing Kong each planted a seed of the Universe Tree, they withdrew from the battlefield together.

……

Su Xi looked at Fei Er Si Te, who was following behind her, and stopped in her tracks.

"We agreed on this—I am cultivating on my own. Why do you keep following me? Do you have nothing else to do?"

"I do, but being with you makes me happier. Father once said that life is long and one should do things that make them happy. As for those clan affairs, there will always be someone to resolve them."

"……" Su Xi beckoned.

Fei Er Si Te immediately walked up to her.

A teleportation talisman was stuck onto him, "We shall meet again on the battlefield next time! Otherwise, I will punish you by making you sleep alone for ten thousand years!"

Fei Er Si Te widened his eyes, "This punishment is too vicious."

After sending Fei Er Si Te away, Su Xi let out a sigh of relief and then opened the System Space.

Participating in the God War for the first time, although it ended in death, she still received rewards because she completed the Universe Tree's mission—two God War Treasure Boxes and 1 God Point.

【Er Miao, it's just 1 God Point, you take it.】

【Thank you, Host. Sigh~ the God War officials are too stingy.】

【Exactly!】

Su Xi casually clicked open a God War Treasure Box.

【Congratulations to the honorable God player: The Treasure Box you opened is—Mo Ri Chong Qi! Treasure Box reward—one Resurrection Card, one skill card that can be brought into the battlefield! Important note: dying inside the Treasure Box will not result in true death, but you will lose the Treasure Box rewards.】

【Er Miao, this Treasure Box must be secured; I must bring a skill into the next battlefield.】

【Yes, Host.】

Su Xi was teleported by the Treasure Box into a gloomy world; thick rain clouds surged in the sky, and the surroundings were a scene of ruin.

Collapsed high-rise buildings were covered by various thorny vines and plants; the roads were full of cars, rusted and crashed together, and there were some highly decomposed white bones on the ground.

Er Miao reminded Su Xi, 【A group of mutant millipedes is approaching the Host, please prepare for battle.】

Su Xi used her Thunder Origin Power to condense a long Thunder Whip; with a flick of her wrist, a streak of thunder light slashed through, carrying rolling thunder sounds and faint spatial tremors, 【I am ready.】

Densely packed mutant millipedes swarmed toward Su Xi.

On top of a slanted high-rise building not far away stood a person wearing black anti-radiation gear; through the anti-radiation goggles, one could see his pair of deep blue eyes.

Su Xi also discovered him through Er Miao's reminder, 【What kind of person is that?】

Er Miao replied: 【He should be a human from this doomsday world. He holds no hostility toward you; he is just observing the Host.】

Su Xi killed all the mutant millipedes.

And inside every insect corpse, there was a pale yellow crystal.

Su Xi collected all those crystals—there were over a thousand of them—and packed them into a bag.

That person who was observing her leaped over.

Seeing that Su Xi was not at all surprised by him, he realized he might have already been exposed, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.

However, Su Xi could not understand what he said for a moment.

It was not until Er Miao translated it that she understood his meaning—【Hello, my name is Gu Yue, and I am a patrol soldier from 24 Hao Ji Di. Which base are you from? Or are you a freelancer?】

Su Xi had Er Miao help her translate, "My name is Su Xi, and I am a freelancer."

Gu Yue continued: "Ms. Su is able to walk outside without wearing an anti-radiation suit; your strength is very high, truly impressive."

Su Xi replied: "Thank you, it is just for self-preservation. Do you have any business?"

Gu Yue knew that powerful freelancers generally would not enter a base, but he still asked, "Our 24 Hao Ji Di welcomes freelancers very much; I wonder if Ms. Su has any intention of joining?"

"No need." Su Xi refused without any consideration.

Gu Yue said with regret: "That is truly a pity."

Then his gaze shifted and landed on the yellow crystals she had collected from killing the mutant millipedes, "Can you sell these core crystals to me? I offer... ten thousand general Gold Points."

"Twenty thousand." Su Xi replied.

"Deal." Gu Yue pointed to a blue-gray high-rise building in the distance, which was also covered in thorny vines, "That is our base. I don't have that many Gold Points on me right now; I need to go back to retrieve them. Ms. Su can come with me, and I will tell the people at the base that you are my freelancer friend. You can also wait for me here, for about two hours."

"I'll go to the base with you." Su Xi replied.

Er Miao had just told her that it was impossible to scan underneath that building; there should be defensive energy capable of blocking the system, and she wanted to go in and take a look.

Su Xi followed Gu Yue and walked quickly toward the direction of the base.

About half an hour later, they arrived near the high-rise building and were blocked by a high steel wall.

Gu Yue walked to the high wall and raised his hand to wave at the monitor on the wall.

Soon, a lifting platform descended from the high wall.

Gu Yue led Su Xi into the lifting platform. Su Xi was first scanned by the scanner on the platform, and only after it was confirmed that she was not a mutant species did the platform begin to rise toward the top of the high wall.

Once they reached the top of the high wall, several people in the same attire as Gu Yue walked over.

Gu Yue introduced her as they had agreed upon earlier, "Her name is Su Xi, she is my freelancer friend."

"Since she is a visitor, she needs to register first."

"Yes, I will register." Gu Yue went to register the visitor list.

"What level is your spiritual ability?" someone asked Su Xi.

Before Su Xi could answer, someone else asked: "To be able to walk outside so freely, you must be at least C Ji; could it be B Ji?"

Su Xi was not sure how spiritual ability was classified here, so she nodded.

"I knew it, to be able to walk outside without wearing protective gear, you must be B Ji."

"But Old Meng is also B Ji, and he has to wear protective goggles every time he goes out."

"Old Meng is getting farsighted; look at how young she is, her eyes are bright and clear, her vision is definitely good."

"Female psychics are rare, and someone as beautiful as Miss Su is an even rarer gem. Does Miss Su have a boyfriend? I know the higher-ups in our base, I could introduce you to some."

"Those old geezers, they aren't even worthy of a single hair on Miss Su's head..."

Su Xi watched them asking and answering each other, seamlessly connecting, leaving her absolutely no chance to speak, so she simply maintained a friendly smile.

Gu Yue came over after finishing the registration and happened to hear his colleagues talking about finding a boyfriend for Su Xi; he was speechless, wondering what on earth they were talking about.

"Then I'll take my friend inside first," Gu Yue said, then pulled Su Xi by the arm and walked quickly.

After walking for a distance, Gu Yue let go of her hand and apologized to Su Xi: "Sorry about that, they are a bit chatty. If there was anything offensive, I apologize on their behalf first."

Su Xi replied: "It's alright."

Gu Yue continued: "It is truly too dull and boring on this high wall, otherwise I wouldn't have left the base to patrol."

"B Ji psychic ability is enough to walk outside without protective gear; what level are you?" Su Xi asked.

Gu Yue replied: "I am D Ji, I can barely go outside wearing protective gear. Those colleagues of mine are all E Ji, so they only patrol on the Fang Yu Tong Qiang and don't go outside the base."

"What is the difference between the Fang Yu Tong Qiang and the outside?" Su Xi asked.

Gu Yue said: "The base's magnetic rotation waves reach just outside the copper wall; they would actually be fine even without wearing protective gear. But just in case, and since they are exposed on the ground, everyone still wears protective gear. You should be able to feel it too, there is no toxic radiation here anymore."
