Chapter 468
by fanqienovelChapter 468: The Effortful Commander
“Indeed!”
The Mighty Man clapped his hands, agreeing, “The Great God, in his current situation, surely doesn’t want the Remnant Clan to know about his return.”
Not far away, a man dressed like a scholar, holding an Ancient Fan, sighed and said, “After many years, you two remain as straightforward as ever!”
“Gu, you are a disciple of the Star God, so you will organize this plan.”
Rui’s eyes sparkled, and she suddenly spoke.
At her words, everyone fell silent and turned their gazes toward the scholar.
The man known as Gu smiled lightly and said, “This barrier of restrictions is an important arrangement made by the will of the cosmos to protect the successors of the Ninth Age.”
“So, we must not damage it in any way.”
The Mighty Man frowned and interrupted, “Just tell us what to do, stop with the nonsense!”
Gu looked at the Mighty Man, seemingly recalling some ancient matters, and couldn’t help but rub his forehead.
“To put it simply, I know of a secret passage, but our power is too great; if we go in our true selves, this passage could collapse.”
“So we will each send out a doppelgänger and return to our rightful positions with our true selves to avoid any accidents.”
“I’m sure everyone wouldn’t want the Great God to return and see a chaotic Battlefield Frontline, right?”
Just then, two beams of light pierced the sky, flying swiftly toward them.
One was a cool and graceful woman dressed in a starry robe, holding a starry staff.
A badge of the Star Army’s commander hung on her chest, signifying her true identity.
The other was a strikingly handsome young man dressed in silver battle robes, wielding a silver spear.
This celestial officer was none other than the Commander of the Fighting God’s Legion!
In the entire boundary battlefield, it was rare to find anyone who could surpass them in identity, status, and strength.
But unfortunately, every individual standing before them, in terms of seniority, age, relationships, and power, could easily outmatch them.
Thus, they kept a low profile and showed deep respect to these Ancestors.
Of course, the most important reason was that they couldn’t defeat them.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be this respectful.
“Ancestor!”
“We hope you will reconsider!”
“The border battlefield needs your presence!”
The Commander of the Star Army clasped his hands respectfully, his tone earnest and polite.
“Yes, Ancestor!”
The Commander of the Fighting God’s Legion, standing beside him, nodded in agreement.
“We don’t intend to go.”
Gu glanced at the two and said lightly, “Right now, you will have nine legions… no, the God of Wealth’s army is no more.”
“Summon all the commanders of the Eight Legions, and then take one of our avatars to the main realm.”
Here, Gu paused for a moment before continuing, “Don’t worry about holding the fort; everyone here is your senior.”
“After the commanders of the Eight Legions depart, we will stay behind to oversee things.”
“Rest easy!”
“With us here, the Remnant Clan won’t be able to cause any trouble!”
“And don’t rush to refuse; I was one of the participants in the secret passage arranged by the God of Theater Legion.”
The Commander of the Star Army: “……”
The Commander of the Fighting God Legion: “……”
What could they say after the Ancestor had already laid it all out?
Though they didn’t understand why the Ancestor wanted them to accompany him back to the main realm, seeing the Ancestors’ agitated and intense emotions, they decided not to press further.
In time, they would surely learn the reasons behind all this.
Soon, summoned by the two legion commanders, especially upon hearing it was a call from the Ancestors, the five legion commanders wasted no time and arrived swiftly.
“Where is the Commander of the God of Theater Legion?”
Gu glanced around, slightly furrowing his brow, and said, “Well, one more or one less doesn’t make much difference.”
“Let’s go!”
“We’re heading to the God of Theater Legion!”
With that, everyone followed Gu, flying in grand formation toward the territory of the God of Theater Legion.
Nearby, Mo Qingrou and Shangguan Ruo exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Was it really such a coincidence?
But this seemed too coincidental to be true!
When something happens with such an absurd level of coincidence, perhaps… it’s no longer a coincidence at all!
Still, both of them were thrilled by the collective actions of the Ancestors and couldn’t wait to lead them to the celestial battlefield in the main realm.
Once there, all seven legion commanders would be present!
Even the Ancestors who had survived since the First Age would witness the despicable actions of the God of Theater Legion firsthand. At that moment, how would Ye Guanzhi try to clear his name?
Could he even manage to do so?
“Greetings to all the commanders!”
The Commander of the God of Theater Legion, having received advance notice, was already waiting outside.
Not to mention the collective arrival of the Ancestors, just the presence of the six commanders was enough to demand his utmost attention!
“No need for formalities, and no time to waste.”
Gu raised his right hand and said bluntly, “Right now, I don’t even care what your legion commanders are up to!”
“I have only one demand: open the secret passage that the God of Theater Legion is responsible for—immediately!”
Upon hearing this, the Commander of the God of Theater Legion paused, a look of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.
“Ancestor, before entering secluded cultivation, the Commander specifically issued a military command that no one is allowed to open that secret passage without his permission.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Gu nodded slightly, then a gleam appeared in his eyes as chains of rules gathered around.
In an instant, they completely bound the Commander of the God of Theater Legion.
“Come, follow me!”
“I know where that secret passage is!”
Gu said calmly, his expression unchanged.
Though calm, if someone who knew him well were here, they would certainly detect the excitement hidden beneath his tranquil tone.
The Great God Fighting God had returned!
How could he not be thrilled?
If he were not excited, why would he drop everything he was doing and rush over here at the fastest speed?
The memories of the Great God leading them through enemy lines and breaking the remnants of the past were still engraved in his mind, he couldn’t forget!
Sometimes, during moments of contemplation, he would uncontrollably dream back to the First Age!
Back to that glorious moment of the Fighting God’s divinity!
“Commander, I really tried my best…”
The Commander of the God of Theater Legion, suspended in the air by the chains of rules, murmured to himself.
In truth, he had known from the beginning that he couldn’t stop this.
If it had just been the six commanders arriving, he might have dared to fight tooth and nail to stop them.
But with such a large group of ancestors arriving…
He didn’t want to die!
Thus, communicating with the ancestors to get an excuse for violating the military command was enough.
As for the Commander?
He didn’t know what the other party had been up to lately; he only felt that the Commander had been quite busy.
Moreover, the recent reckless actions of the celestial god legion had intensified.
Sometimes he really wondered what motivated the celestial god legion’s behavior, as comrades on the border battlefield; what interests drove them to behave in such a way?
It was frustrating!
“This is where the secret passage is located!”
Gu pointed to a place ahead where several true gods were stationed and spoke.
At the same time, an eerie atmosphere enveloped everyone.
What kind of powerful beings were they?
From the moment they stepped into the core of the God of Theater Legion, they had sensed something was off.
The God of Theater Legion!
There was a problem!
And it was a big one!
