Chapter 1733 Leaving the Island
The Chaos, although suppressed in the hospital, is far from the only crisis now.
More than ten Ke-system gods who escaped from the moon are battling with the Great Xia gods in deep space. In battles of this level, lesser gods have almost no role to play, and even with the Great Xia’s main gods combined with the three human reinforcements, they can at most simultaneously resist the attacks of eight Ke-system gods.
As the Heavenly Court sealed the breach on the moon, the last few escaping Ke-system gods abandoned their attack on the Heavenly Court and directly changed direction, bypassing the divine battlefield and rushing toward Earth.
On the other side of the moon, two Heavenly Venerable saw this and their brows furrowed with gravity.
“This is bad… too many Ke-system gods have escaped, and the Heavenly Court cannot withstand them.”
The two Heavenly Venerable certainly wanted to help the Great Xia gods, but they were too severely injured from the Chaos’s desperate attack. Forget fighting the Ke-system gods, they could barely maintain their crushed physical forms.
“Venerable Ones,” Lin Qiye said solemnly, “your injuries are too severe. It’s better to stabilize your physical forms first. As for the battlefield… leave it to me.”
Hearing this, the Moral Heavenly Venerable’s expression immediately became hesitant. “Lin Qiye, we know your strength has soared, but with just your power alone, how can you stop those five Ke-system gods?”
Five Ke-system gods, converted to Earth battle power equivalents, would require at least a dozen main gods to barely resist, or seven or eight human-turned-gods like Shen Qingzhu or Zhou Ping.
No matter how strong Lin Qiye was, he hadn’t reached the supreme realm, and wasn’t even a god yet. One person blocking five Ke-system gods was nothing but a fool’s dream.
Lin Qiye shook his head. He took out a white chess piece from his pocket and calmly looked up toward Earth:
“I… am not alone.”
…
Great Xia.
National Fate Island.
In the ceaselessly surging national fate of Great Xia, a young figure wearing armor, as if sensing something, slowly opened his eyes…
He looked down at his palm, where a white chess piece was emitting a faint light, as if telling him something.
“Marquis…”
A beautiful woman in court ceremonial dress approached from the other end of the national fate current. She gently removed her hairpin, and her black hair naturally cascaded over her shoulders.
At the end of that hairpin, a chess piece like white jade was also emitting a faint light.
“Mm.” Huo Qubing nodded slightly. He stood up and looked at the void above, “This day has finally come.”
His hand gripping the spear suddenly exerted force!
A brilliant beam of light instantly penetrated the sky and earth, and terrifying aftershocks continuously spread from the beam, illuminating the dark night sky as bright as day!
Boom——!!
Thick lightning streaked across the sky, tsunamis formed into rings, frantically being pulled away from the island’s direction.
Strong winds swept through every corner of the island, the forests covering the mountains shook violently, as if they would be uprooted at any moment!
“What’s happening?!” The second-generation Night Watchman Commander-in-Chief Li Qiangqiang stood on a cliff, looking at the terrifying beam of light penetrating from the ground to the sky, “What’s wrong with the Marquis? Why is he so angry today?”
“Haven’t you noticed? In space, there seems to be large-scale divine power fluctuations,” the fourth-generation Commander-in-Chief Wang Qing looked up at the sky, “In places we cannot see, the divine war has already begun.”
From the roaring waves, a young man holding a halberd and wearing a white shirt floated out, landing steadily beside the two.
He was the third-generation Night Watchman Commander-in-Chief, Tang Yusheng.
“The entire sea area has been stirred into chaos. With such terrifying aura, could the Marquis already…”
“Are you saying the Marquis is about to take that step?!” Li Qiangqiang seemed to realize something, his voice rising several degrees.
“Sword Saint Zhou Ping could create his own laws and become a Sword Immortal… do you think the Marquis’s talent would be much worse than his?”
“More than two thousand years ago, the Marquis couldn’t take that step because of his naturally short lifespan, but now that he has been immersed in the national fate for such a long time, he probably should have taken that step long ago.”
“Can a heroic spirit form also become a god?”
“A heroic spirit form cannot become a god…” From the other side of the mountain path, Nie Jinshan in a Zhongshan suit walked over slowly, his expression somewhat complex, “But what if the Marquis abandons this heroic spirit form?”
Hearing these words, the other three commanders were stunned, quickly realizing what he meant, and suddenly looked toward the direction of the light beam.
“You mean, the Marquis…”
The soaring light beam gradually dissipated, and two figures penetrated the void, instantly appearing before the four.
The moment these two figures appeared, overwhelming pressure swept across heaven and earth. One wore armor and held a spear, exuding a stern, sharp intent mixed with piercing spear sounds, as if to pierce the entire sky; the other wore court ceremonial dress, elegant and serene, with countless faces frantically flashing beneath her robe, her eyes as deep as the bottom of a winter lake.
“Greetings, Marquis. Greetings, Elder Gongyang.” The four commanders bowed respectfully.
Since they had transformed into heroic spirits and arrived on this island, these two had already existed… but until now, they had never sensed such terrifying aura from these two!
“Nie Jinshan,” Huo Qubing slowly spoke.
“Present.”
“From now on, the national fate current beneath this island is entrusted to you.”
Nie Jinshan’s body violently trembled. Even though he had guessed this outcome, hearing the Marquis’s instructions in person, he still couldn’t accept it.
“Marquis, Lady Gongyang, are you really going to do this?” Nie Jinshan’s face, usually like ice, showed intense emotional fluctuations for the first time, “If heroic spirits leave the nourishment of national fate, their lives will begin a countdown… you will never be able to return.”
“This Marquis has guarded the Great Xia dragon vein for two thousand years, all for this day,” Huo Qubing’s voice was perfectly calm, “If this remnant body cannot fight for the dawn of all living beings, what meaning would there be in this Marquis living thousands of years?”
“Then Jinshan wishes to go with you both!”
Nie Jinshan gritted his teeth and said resolutely.
“Nonsense!” Gongyang Wan narrowed her eyes and spoke coldly, “Nie Jinshan, have you forgotten what I told you? If you come with us, who will guard the Great Xia dragon vein in the future?! Don’t forget, you are now the first-generation Commander-in-Chief of Great Xia, not that ignorant child anymore!
Don’t let your personal emotions override your rationality! What you should care about is this world, not the Marquis and me.”
Nie Jinshan looked at that familiar face, and for a moment, it was as if he had returned to that rainy day in his childhood… His fists clenched tightly, and after much internal struggle, he took a deep breath:
“Yes, Lady Gongyang.”
Huo Qubing’s gaze swept across the faces of the commanders, his eyes showing approval and gratification.
He had guarded the national fate for more than two thousand years, and almost everyone here had grown up under his watch, from their first display of talent, to gradually rising to become commanders, to finally dying in battle and coming to this island… Each of them was a successor acknowledged by Huo Qubing.
Fortunately,
Even without Huo Qubing in this world, there was still such a group of younger generations, leading humanity step by step to where it is today.
“This Marquis, departs…”
Huo Qubing withdrew his gaze, took a step forward, and when his figure reappeared, he was already hundreds of miles high in the sky, with Gongyang Wan’s figure closely following!
He looked down at the white chess piece in his hand, and in his eyes, the fighting spirit that had been dormant for thousands of years ignited once more!
With a light sound, he crushed this chess piece into powder, scattering it in the fierce wind…
“Hidden for two thousand years, now, it’s time to take our step.”
