Chapter 479

Chapter 479: I Am Not Him

"Since we’ve cleared up some things, I’ll take care of your worries about the legacy for future generations," Valley said, looking at Ye Guanzhi. "You can go in peace; I’ll handle these issues for you."

Ye Guanzhi’s eyes snapped open at these words.

A flash of gratitude appeared in his eyes; his mentor truly understood him!

He then took a deep breath, ready to speak.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a gray misty chain sliced through Time and Space, appearing right behind Ye Guanzhi.

"Looking for death!"

Rui’s eyes turned cold as she spoke sharply, "To cross the cosmos and attempt a kill in front of us, Si Mu, it seems you’re just wasting your energy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rui instantly appeared next to Ye Guanzhi, her right hand extending, glowing with divine light, and clashed directly with the gray mist chain.

"Boom!"

A violent collision echoed around them, and moments later, Rui reappeared in the crowd’s view, missing an arm.

"How’s the battle going?"

Valley asked Rui with a smile.

"Not bad," Rui replied casually. "It was just a clash of avatars, nothing significant."

"And he crossed the cosmos to get here; under the suppression of the will of the cosmos and the barriers of the main realm, it’s just the usual."

Saying this, Rui glanced at her severed right hand.

In the next moment, her fair and beautiful right hand instantly regenerated.

"It’s just the usual trick of the Remnants, a pollution technique similar to a contract."

Valley said lightly, "Same as always; it might look different, but it’s the same old trick."

"Guanzhi, you don’t need to answer; I’ll ask, and you just show your emotions."

"The rest is for me to judge."

Soon, Valley began to fire a series of completely unrelated questions at Ye Guanzhi, based on his own judgment system.

Standing nearby, the Mighty Man looked utterly confused and bewildered.

What is all this?

The last question was about combat, and now it’s about the origin of life?

And how do these questions relate to the Remnants?

However, his long survival experience taught him one true lesson:

When a wise friend is around, even if you don’t understand or grasp what they’re doing, there’s no need to show it.

Staying silent and acting like an expert is the way to go.

The rest was left for the younger generation to imagine.

After a while, Valley nodded slightly, a look of understanding in his eyes.

"Guanzhi, leave behind your life’s memories. We won’t imprison or torture you. Go on your way."

"Thank you, mentor!"

Ye Guanzhi said gratefully. Then, under the power of the surrounding divine formations, a strong force swept over him.

Faced with this force, Ye Guanzhi did not resist.

Of course, being suppressed, he couldn’t resist anyway.

Then, everything turned to dust!

"Buzz!"

A gray crystal floated in the air; this was Ye Guanzhi’s memory crystal.

It contained all his memories from birth to death.

"Whoosh!"

A piercing sound was heard as Valley tucked the gray crystal into his robe.

"Saint Valley, are we really letting Ye Guanzhi and his remaining followers go?"

Lai Wusheng thought for a moment but couldn’t help asking.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything,"

Valley replied calmly, his tone steady.

He had dealt with such matters many times before.

He would also give everyone and Various Parties a proper explanation.

After speaking, he nodded slightly to the crowd.

He gave a special nod when he saw Su Wen and the Star God.

In the next moment, a flicker of ghostly light flashed, and Valley disappeared.

"Sigh!"

Lai Wusheng sighed and said bitterly, "Saint Valley is still too soft on traitors."

As soon as he said this, the elders under the Fighting God of the First Age nearby twitched their mouths slightly.

Soft-hearted, Valley?

They wondered who it was that the Remnants had called the Blood Butcher during the charge in the First Age.

For the sake of the younger generation, they thought it was best to keep up Valley’s soft-hearted image.

"Are you stupid?"

The commander of the Star Army glanced at Lai Wusheng with exasperation.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing special, just what I said."

"Well… I admit I’m a bit slow. Could you explain it to me?"

"……"

The Commander of the Fighting God Legion felt a wave of helplessness. Who would have thought that such a simpleton could be the esteemed Commander of the Fighting God Legion?

But considering the temperaments of the past Great Gods Fighting, it actually made a lot of sense.

"Subordinate Star Tianxue, paying respects to the Star God!"

The Commander of the Star Army stepped forward, knelt on one knee before the Star God, and respectfully presented the staff. "The entire Star Army eagerly awaits the return of the Star God!"

"We, the stars, are ready to shine and burn for the ideals of the Star God!"

The Star God stared at the Commander for a moment, then glanced at Su Xia standing behind.

Then, extending his right hand, he took the staff of the Star Army from Star Tianxue.

"Subordinate Star Tianxue, Vice Commander of the Star Army, paying respects to the Commander!"

"Subordinate Su Xia of the Seventh Legion, paying respects to the Commander!"

At that moment, two respectful voices echoed from the side.

No one around was surprised by this.

This was because, in managing all legions, the methods of past Star Gods differed from those of other divine fate bearers.

For instance, in other legions, the position of Commander was held by the most trusted subordinate of the divine fate bearer.

But the past Star Gods themselves took on the role of Commander of the Legion!

When a new Star God had not yet appeared on the border battlefield, the Vice Commander of the Star Army temporarily assumed the Commander’s position, issuing orders and overseeing the various matters of the Star Army.

Thus, after paying respects to the Star God, handing over the staff representing the authority of the legion to the Star God was the most correct and wise choice for Star Tianxue.

"Rise!"

The Star God spoke, "Overall, the Star Army… has not disappointed me!"

"At least, you are not here to oppose me in this battle."

"……"

With that, the Star God began to inquire about the changes in the situation on the border battlefield since the Ninth Age, as well as the progress of various research projects within the Star Army.

No detail was too small!

Even some extremely minor yet important projects were brought up by the Star God.

The more Star Tianxue answered, the more astounded she became.

Gradually, an unrealistic thought began to form in her heart.

Could this person before her… be the same Star God who had guided her into this world?

Her friend!

The person she was willing to strive for with all her might, following his ideals and beliefs!

Yes!

It must be!

Her strong intuition was almost never wrong!

Otherwise, how could the Star God, as the Star God of the Ninth Age, who had never been to the border battlefield, know the ins and outs of the Star Army so well?

And some research projects that originated from the Eighth Era now seemed… to have some ancient research topics that he knew better than she did.

"Is it you… who has returned?"

Finally, Star Tianxue couldn’t help but voice her confusion.

"I am not him."

The Star God said directly, his gaze unchanged. "Moreover, he probably won’t return."
