City 0001, Bai Family, Virtual Arena.
"Xintong, you've lost."
Ye Tong stood in the middle of the battlefield, his body covered in wounds so deep that his bones could be seen. Half of his body was covered in blood, dripping onto his boots, staining his armor until its original color was unrecognizable.
Around him was a bloody battlefield that had been fought for a long time. Corpses and bones piled up like mountains, spears pierced through the ground, and broken arrows littered the ground.
There were still a few magic users behind Ye Tong, while Baimiya had a large number of mutants behind her. Their injuries were similar, but Baimiya's Disaster Faction clearly had the upper hand.
"Request to conclude the results of this Virtual Arena." Baimiya was speechless as she shouted towards the sky.
In the past, when she fought with Ye Tong, it was always a fight to the death. In order to protect Ye Tong, both of them had suppressed their powers to that of a Level 2 Magician.
After becoming a player, Baimiya continued her studies at the King's University. The first four successors of the Bai Family, Baimiya, Bai Dong Xue, Bai Ling, Bai Shihu, and Baimiya, had all successfully leveled up, making the younger generation of the Bai Family stand out. After a few discussions in the family meeting, the four of them were all given important positions, and could be considered to have a foothold in the Bai Family's management.
She had a jumpy personality and was not good at administration, so she was given the position of Fourth Branch Family Councilor and assistant to the Fourth Branch Family's Army Department.
The Army Department was responsible for the recruitment, training, and other missions of the army. It was the combat power of each branch family. Ever since the Bai Family became one of the Five Thrones, no other faction dared to provoke them. They also did not need to participate in the war at the border or the Disaster Wall, so the Army Department became more and more idle.
The Virtual Arena that Baimiya and Ye Tong used was a simulation of the Disaster War. One side played the role of a human army commander, while the other played the role of a mutant commander. They fought each other, and it was extremely realistic.
However, as the various factions of the Seven Continents no longer came into contact with enemies related to the Calamity Faction, and some players had never truly fought against the Calamity Faction in their entire lives. Therefore, the competition between humans was more attractive to them, and the virtual competition that Wesaix launched a few years ago was ignored.
Ever since she became the assistant department head, Baimiya would invite Ye Tong to Virtual Battles every few days. She thought that with her experience as a player, she would be able to easily crush Ye Tong no matter if it was in terms of experience or combat. However, she did not expect Ye Tong to be far better at strategizing than her. He would often be able to cause both sides to suffer, and sometimes even win against her.
But recently, Ye Tong seemed to be in a bad state. His mind would wander off every time.
After leaving the arena, the two of them entered the bathroom to wash up and relieve their fatigue. Although the battle was virtual, the burden on the mind was real. If an ordinary person did not have a good rest, they would be paralyzed from exhaustion.
"Tsk, my Sister Xintong has grown 'big' again ~" Bai Micha suddenly hugged Ye Tong, who was staring at the mirror in a daze, from behind. She was shocked out of her daze as she screamed, "Ah!"
Baimiya's two claws moved around as she giggled.
She had heard that Baimiya's cousin seemed to have changed after the player assessment. It was rumored that she especially liked beautiful girls. Thinking of this, Ye Tong's heart trembled slightly. She quickly pushed away her claws and pulled a towel to cover her beautiful body.
"Big sister Mi Cha, take a good bath." She rolled her eyes at the girl who was giggling behind her.
Baimiya stopped playing around and casually sat beside her. As she washed her hair, she asked, "Ye Tong, why do you seem so absent-minded recently? With you in this state, I don't even have any interest in fighting. "
"S-Sorry, I've been troubled by some things recently." Ye Tong had always been known for her calmness and meticulousness. Furthermore, with the Book of Prophecy, she could see many corners of the future. She was even more calm in the face of changes, so this rarely happened.
Baimiya looked at her ambiguously. "Don't tell me you've fallen in love with someone?"
"How could that be? Hmph, if my future husband isn't as outstanding as my brother, then I don't want him. " Ye Tong raised her head proudly, her expression full of anticipation. When Li Xiang was mentioned, she thought of that file and her mood instantly dropped.
"Ah, Li Xiang. It's a pity that someone better than him hasn't been born yet." Baimiya smacked her lips. She, who had been thinking about Ye Tong's problem, also fell into deep thought.
The two girls each had their own thoughts and did not speak. Only the sound of washing up could be heard in the bathroom.
.....
Great Wall of Disaster, Iceshen City Stronghold.
This tightly wrapped file was personally delivered by Hunter. It was secretly delivered to Li Xiang under the name of the new Polar Night's transportation of supplies.
Looking at the mechanical buildings gradually rising around him, Li Xiang's mood was a little uncertain.
The materials and resources were gradually in place. The builders and mechanics transferred from Wessex and the new Polar Night were also in place.
The sisters, Alice and Elena, were the chief engineers sent by Wessex. Alice, who was still studying at the university, was in charge of the construction of Iceshen City. Elena, who had been working for Wessex for a long time, was in charge of the mechanization of the Great Wall of Disaster.
Of course, all the compositions were done by Li Xiang himself.
The last file had been completely destroyed by him. Li Xiang did not expect that Sergeant Major Lélie would secretly leave behind a file of his. That was the original file and had not been modified. It was very likely that the only person who had seen it was the White King. When he found Ye Tong, his first reaction was to destroy Li Xiang's file. Looking at it now, it was very reasonable.
The file that recorded this secret was actually a file that anyone with a little bit of authority could see!
In order not to arouse any suspicion, the White King did not personally destroy the file. He only gave the order.
He did not miscalculate his prestige among the lower class, but he did not expect that there would be someone like Lélie who would be compassionate.
Destroying a person's file meant that they could erase that person at any time in the future. In addition, Ye Tong was taken away and Li Xiang's Death Magic Circuit was abandoned. This made Lélie mistakenly think that they wanted to completely erase Li Xiang's existence, which was why he secretly hid a file.
At least, at some point in the future, someone would know of such a person's existence.
Coincidentally, this secret was finally discovered by him and Ye Tong.
Now, there was a third person who knew.
The owner of the leg was a tall girl. Half of her body was faintly red, while the other half was a translucent blue.
After becoming a player, Xuanyue's figure had become even more seductive and slender. Her height of nearly 2.5 meters was outstanding among humans, but it was not too strange. Her body was perfectly proportioned. However, she could no longer grow as she wished. She would shrink back to her loli form when she was exhausted. The exact size depended on how exhausted she was.
"There must have been a lot of resistance for you to come here." Li Xiang stood with her on the city wall. He was not short at 1.8 meters, but when he stood next to Xuanyue, the 70-centimeter difference was like the difference between an adult and a child.
The last time he had seen Xuanyue was during the battle against Owl. After that, his good friends went their separate ways and returned to their families and schools. However, as new players, they still kept in contact with each other in private.
Xuanyue's cheeks were slightly red as she said bashfully, "No … no one dared to stop me. Mother heard that it was your invitation and approved it."
The Moon Queen doted on her four daughters the most. Among them, she doted on Xuanyue, who had a strange figure, and Xinyue, who was the youngest and the most talented. However, from her attitude, she seemed to like Li Xiang very much.
"Are you sure that symbol is the symbol of the Emperor Clan?" Although Li Xiang had his suspicions, he was still unsure when he saw the symbol on the file. That was why he hurriedly asked Xuanyue to confirm it.
At the same time, they could talk about the Emperor Clan's recent situation.
Based on their previous habits, when direct descendants of the Moon family like them became players, the Emperor Clan would invite them to the new world and give birth to new children there.
However, Xuanyue had been a player for so long, and the Emperor Clan had not done anything.
When the respawn effect began to weaken, the Goddess of Calamity showed signs of abnormalities, and the Emperor Clan did not appear for a long time, the Moon Queen, who had the closest relationship with the Emperor Clan, had long been suspicious. Even though the Emperor Clan had recently issued an order to kill the Polar night Magician, she still held deep suspicions.
However, without going to the new world, she would not know the current situation of the Emperor Clan. Before the four of them had seen the real Emperor Clan, the Moon Queen had kept her mouth shut. It was only after this Level 9 conscription order that the Moon Queen relaxed the restrictions on her four daughters.
She was vaguely encouraging her daughters to find their own husbands instead of waiting for the Emperor Clan's fortune.
However, the only requirement was that the other party's bloodline had to be extraordinary.
It had to be extraordinary enough.
This was the core of the Moon family's noble bloodline.
The language of endless reproduction meant that the Moon family relied on their terrifying reproduction ability to create the throne. They themselves could ensure the most outstanding bloodline. Every girl in the Moon family was extremely talented, and they were the ultimate goal for men outside to marry into the family.
Outstanding, gentle, virtuous, and virtuous.
Their special physiques also allowed their descendants to fully absorb the advantages of their parents' bloodlines.
For example, Yue Xingling had inherited her father's strong physique as a Genetic Warrior. Her mother's excellent bloodline had become a famous Magician. Now, she also had the possibility of becoming a player.
After reading the file, Xuanyue's feelings were not very deep. After all, the information she had was limited. She did not have as much information as Li Xiang.
However, she was sure that the symbol was a unique mark of the Emperor Clan. Her mother had taught them when they were young.
"I'm sure. So you lived in the new world of the Emperor Clan when you were young?" Xuanyue lowered her voice, somewhat in disbelief. Was Li Xiang from the Emperor Clan?
"New world? An orphanage? "Li Xiang shook his head. It was not that simple.
From the information he knew, he could basically deduce the general framework of the matter, but the real truth could only be confirmed by seeing it with his own eyes.
Not long after Bai Lili's death, the Goddess of Calamity's system began to show signs of abnormalities. In recent years, the Emperor Clan had disappeared, and she was dedicated to overthrowing the Emperor Clan and creating a brand new world.
There was clearly a mark of the Emperor Clan on the file, indicating that the so-called orphanage was related to the Emperor Clan and had always been in the new world.
The final destination of the map scroll was probably the entrance to the new world. Only a place like this would be hidden by a secret technique that had been lost for many eras.
But what did that have to do with sealing the Goddess of Calamity?
Bai Lili hid in the new world. What method did she use to hide? Li Xiang had a bold guess, but he did not have any evidence at the moment.
The mystery was gradually being solved, but there were still bigger questions waiting for him.
However, many things could be explained clearly now.
He had escaped from the orphanage with Ye Tong, and his memories had been tampered with. That was the effect of refreshing. The reason why this file retained its original mark was that everyone would leave a mark in the Goddess of Calamity's system from birth. The file was forcefully recorded by the Goddess of Calamity's system and could not be changed.
Not long after he was born, Bai Lili had died in the Night Rain Operation. At that time, the Goddess of Calamity was still very normal. She must have recorded the most authentic file.
Until they escaped, the refreshing effect was still very effective.
Ye Tong should have told Yu Zhitong when she came back to her senses. According to Yu Zhitong, there was no news of her friends in the orphanage in the Seven Continents because they were still in the new world.
Unfortunately, although her memories were more complete and not too much had been refreshed, there was still no substantial content.
The only thing he knew was that when Yu Zhitong escaped, the refresh effect of the Goddess of Calamity was already very weak.
The truth was revealed layer by layer. Li Xiang was even more surprised that the White King obviously knew more, but he did not say anything. He was even hiding some secrets.
"The Emperor Clan is just an ordinary human."
Thinking back on this sentence, the meaning was profound.
Although the level 9 players had always been restricted by the Goddess of Calamity and the Emperor Clan, due to the refreshing effect and other reasons, they had never really seen the Emperor Clan.
He had already confirmed this from the Night King.
But from the White King's tone, he had clearly seen the real Emperor Clan.
In addition, the Moon Queen had also seen them, but she had never mentioned anything about the Emperor Clan to Xuanyue and the others.
However, after the Moon Queen suspected that the Emperor Clan had changed, she decisively asked her daughters to consider choosing their own husbands. There was no need to adhere to the Emperor Clan's rules. In the past, because of the restriction, they had to obey. Now that the restriction had weakened and the Emperor Clan had changed, she immediately made this decision.
It could be seen that in the Moon Queen's eyes, the Emperor Clan did not really have the power to threaten her. She was afraid of the restriction, the Goddess of Calamity's refresh, and the Emperor Clan's control of the Goddess of Calamity.
This also supported the White King's words.
"In short, when Mother and the others return from the new world, we should be able to find out the truth." Xuanyue looked at the sea of stars on the other side and let out a carefree voice. She had never seen such a vast and beautiful scene. Although it was the Calamity's territory, it was exceptionally beautiful. It was as dazzling as the Milky Way.
"I hope so. Before that, we still have to erect the defensive facilities of the Great Wall of Calamity. I have a feeling that a great war is imminent. I hope it's just an illusion." Li Xiang sighed and looked into the distance with her. He could see such a scene every night now. Hidden in the endless sea of stars were the Gates of the Abyss and the shuddering Calamity.
What kind of existence was the Calamity?
