One year later, in the sea of stars.
The land that was once blocked by the Great Wall of Disaster was now completely free of obstacles. It was seamlessly connected to the border, but any creatures of the Disaster Camp still had to pass through the Poker Club's headquarters if they wanted to cross the border.
However, the Poker Club was much friendlier than the Great Wall of Disaster. Whether it was the anthropomorphic Disaster or the Chaos Disaster under the Ruler, as long as they gave enough rewards, they could easily enter the sea of stars and the seven continents.
At this moment, the major forces of the seven continents occupied different territories, and the atmosphere was tense. The peaceful scene of the past no longer existed. If one wanted to live on the once fertile land, they had to confirm that they had to join one of the major forces and obtain their protection. Only then would they be able to fight for a trace of safety.
Similarly, joining a force required one to contribute their own strength.
Whether it was the high and mighty players, magic users who were the pillars of the middle class, or ordinary people with only one skill, they all had to contribute to a force. The only difference between them was how much they received and how much they contributed.
This world began to enter a stage of barbarism. The fittest would survive, and the unfit would eventually be eliminated. The law of the jungle was everywhere.
This was the biggest change brought about by Bai Lili's resurrection. However, in reality, the ones who brought about this situation were the Level 9 players who were once regarded as the last guardians of the human camp.
They could not give up the temptation. The charm of those above Level 9 was unparalleled. They abandoned everything and began to fight for benefits, killing each other, and seeking transcendence.
Even the military under Othello had to participate in all kinds of disputes while trying to protect the human camp. If you did not fight, you would one day become food for others.
Ji Yanqing, who had just given birth to her son, would always think of the ultimate trial many years ago, that thrilling ranking competition.
It was also the only time in her life that she faced that person head-on.
The Goddess of Disaster System, which was controlled by Bai Lili, gave them a cooperative competition mode, simulating the scene of the end of the human world. The two who had turned against each other finally joined hands to fight for humanity. However, in the train, there were groups of confused ordinary people who did not know what to do.
No one knew where the train was going, and no one knew what the ending was.
At the end of the competition, she sacrificed herself so that Li Xiang could complete his mission.
Perhaps as early as back then, Bai Lili had caught a glimpse of today's scene.
She and her husband were fighting for the continuation of the human race. The situation had not reached that stage yet, but that person …
A huge eagle covered in black feathers flew across the sky and circled once. Its wings covered the sky and disappeared from the sky above the city in an instant.
Along the way, it saw all kinds of doomsday scenes and saw all kinds of cries and howls, but it was unmoved. It continued to move forward, crossing the snowy mountains, flying over the grasslands, gliding through the wilderness, and entering the heavily guarded territory of the poker club.
Various anthropomorphic calamities were gathered there. They were much more intelligent and ambitious than their counterparts who were still drifting in the sea of stars. They were a formidable enemy of humans and also food for the players who were seeking breakthroughs.
The black-feathered falcon flew high into the sky and then entered the space above the sea of stars that was filled with blood and corpses.
Its eyes were sharp. After searching for a while, it finally saw a bright bonfire on an empty island.
The light of the fire was especially distant in the pitch-black night. The island was completely black, and occasionally, lightning would streak across, providing a brief moment of light that illuminated the terrifying caves.
The black-feathered falcon swooped down and glided for a while. Then, the tender and clear voice of a little girl rang out from below, breaking the silence of this deathly silent island.
"Daddy! Daddy! The falcon is here … "
The little Lolita, whose hair was braided at the wrong angle, was squealing and cheering towards the sky. She looked even more delicate than a porcelain doll. Her short silver hair danced in the wind, and her eyes were exceptionally beautiful. Her left eye was sky blue, and her right eye was amber. Her two short fleshy legs were exposed to the air, and she was wearing an ill-fitting beast skin coat.
A man with shoulder-length black hair sat by the bonfire and carefully stared at the meat soup boiling in the iron pot. His other hand was swiftly roasting a few transparent fish. Anyone who was familiar with the sea of stars would definitely be shocked by him.
This creature called the bright fish was a rare real fish in the sea of stars. It was unknown how it managed to survive in such a harsh environment. It was cruel by nature, and normal mutants were no match for it.
As the fire danced, the aroma of the fish gradually spread.
"Xin Yi, slow down. Don't fall." The man looked at his daughter's cheering and had a helpless expression.
"I know, I know!" The little loli did not wait for the black-feathered falcon to land. She suddenly jumped up high and landed on its back. She smiled and hugged the black wooden box that was several times larger than her.
She lifted the box with ease.
The commotion quickly alerted a few mutants hiding in the dark. With a soft whoosh, a black pillar of air suddenly shot out and shot toward the little loli's head.
"Ouch!"
Li Xinyi felt something hit her head. She was a little dizzy. Her feet slipped, and she staggered and fell from the falcon's back.
The black-feathered falcon roared angrily, but it was too late to save her.
There was a loud thud, and a large crater appeared on the ground of the island. Li Xiang looked up slightly and asked with a smile, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, hehe."
Li Xinyi jumped out of the crater with the black wooden box. There was a black mark on her head, and the remaining disaster power was slowly disintegrating. It did not even break through her skin.
The black-feathered falcon flew down and rubbed its little master with its beak.
"I wonder what delicious food Auntie Mi Cha and the others brought me. Hehe." Li Xinyi's little pink fist exerted a little force, and the runes on the black wooden box all fell apart, dissipating into countless magic particles.
If the magicians of the seven continents saw this scene, they would probably vomit blood in anger.
The magic lock that they had meticulously set up had many complicated runes. It was one of the most favored secret methods. Now, it had been smashed open by a little girl's fist.
After opening the black wooden box, Li Xinyi immediately jumped in and quickly rummaged through it.
Soon, she was satisfied and carried out a large pile of snacks that had been specially sent to her.
When they found out that Li Xiang had gone to Galaxy alone with their less than one-month old daughter, Baimiya and Li Yetong were both angry and amused. They felt sorry for Li Xiang and tried to contact him. In the end, it was Bai Ling, who was out on a mission, who found Li Xiang's tracks. She then had her pet act as a messenger between the seven continents and Galaxy, delivering necessities for their precious little baby.
From clothes, to diapers, to milk bottles, and so on, everything was there. Li Xinyi's cheap aunts and aunts wanted nothing more than to prepare everything for her from one to 18 years old. They were afraid that the little girl would be wronged or in danger in Galaxy.
They even sent a large pile of magic scrolls that were hard to find in the seven continents.
However, Li Xinyi's growth speed far exceeded everyone's expectations.
In a year's time, Li Xiang had just broken through to Level-7, and his daughter's body was already comparable to a Level-1 player's.
She hadn't even cultivated systematically. She could fight with a borderline mutant just by relying on her aura and extraordinary physique.
And although this little girl could run, jump, and talk now, she was actually only one year old!
Li Xiang didn't know whether he and Ming Xu had given birth to a genius or a freak.
She liked to fight very much, so the princess dresses that were sent to her were tattered in a few days. Li Xiang had to make a set of durable animal skin clothes for her, but the style was really unflattering. If those women saw it, they would probably drown in their saliva.
He still remembered the time when he saw Bai Ling. Bai Ling had almost picked up Xin Yi and ran away, as if he, her father, was a scourge.
He basically didn't reply to their letters. Occasionally, he would ask Xin Yi to write a few sentences and send them back. It wasn't that he didn't miss them and his friends from the seven continents. It was just that he had gradually gotten used to the loneliness here and suddenly didn't know how to communicate with them.
He always felt that before he found Ming Xu, his life would be incomplete. He didn't have the energy to do anything.
Li Xinyi ate snacks while mumbling about what was in the box. She knew very well which aunty had sent the things. She knew very well which aunty had sent them.
The only thing that confused her was that her father never mentioned anything about her mother. He only told her that they were going to find her mother.
What kind of person was her mother?
The black-feathered falcon took to the sky again before the cold night completely fell. It played with its little master for a while longer before flying towards the end of the sky.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Li Xinyi ran to the fire and sat on Li Xiang's lap. She leaned on his chest and fell asleep sweetly. This was her exclusive position, and it hadn't changed for a year.
Li Xiang slowly ate the grilled fish in his hand and drank the broth. However, his mind was drifting somewhere else.
After a while, a shadow suddenly appeared in the distance. The shadow gradually approached and took shape. It turned into a huge spider. Its body alone was several meters long, but it looked soft and beautiful. Every limb was perfect. Its body was covered in an exquisite, close-fitting dark golden robe. It was embroidered with all kinds of patterns and a crystal-like emblem.
A woman's face appeared on the head of the huge spider. She was absolutely beautiful.
"Queen Atlas Nakya, it's my honor to meet one of the most famous rulers of the past." Li Xiang didn't look at the shadow behind him and said with a smile.
The huge spider was one of the rulers of the past who lived in the sea of stars. She was also the creator of the human-faced spider Atlas that Fei Yujing had devoured. She was the true Mother Goddess of the giant spiders.
She had killed several Level-9 players in the Holy War 300 years ago. Later, she was severely injured by the White King's attack and fell into a deep sleep. After that, she was awakened by Lancelot and became a member of the poker club. She also transformed from a ruler to a humanized disaster.
This kind of monarch-level disaster that transformed from a chaos ruler was collectively known as a Great Old Ruler.
She didn't care that her name was called. Instead, she kept a safe distance from the man in front of her. After a long time, a cold and slightly hoarse voice came from her abdomen.
"Is she okay?"
"Xin Yi? What could happen to her? How could those mutants under your command hurt her? To hurt her, it would have to be at least a Spider Demon. "The corners of Li Xiang's mouth curled up slightly. He knew that the purpose of the other party's visit was to ask about the accidental injury earlier.
Of course, if it wasn't for this little fellow, a Level-3 human player might have been corroded to death by the sudden appearance of the giant spider's venom.
The dark gold aura of the origin happened to restrain all poisons. Back when he was dealing with Osiris, his Death Miasma couldn't cause any harm to Li Xiang.
"If she's fine, my territory will be in trouble." Atlas's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard. Li Xiang, however, burst into laughter as he thought of a bunch of things that had happened some time ago.
He had just arrived here and didn't know that he had broken into the Spider Queen's lair. After a round of killing, he had lured the furious Atlas back from the border.
They had fought on this island for three days and three nights, while Xin Yi had sneaked into her cave and eaten many of the Spider Demon eggs as barbecue.
After realizing that she couldn't kill Li Xiang and that the latter couldn't hurt her, Atlas decided to call a truce. It wasn't a good thing to fight to the death with a super strong human player, especially after knowing his identity.
When she returned to the lair, she saw the little fellow who was barbecuing her Spider Demon eggs. She was angry and amused at the same time. She sent her back as if she was sending off her ancestors, and then ordered the father and daughter to absolutely, absolutely not be allowed to come close to her lair.
Just now, a mutant under her command had ambushed the little fellow. She was afraid that this vengeful little brat would remember it the next day and come to her lair to cause trouble again. That was why she had come out to negotiate with Li Xiang.
She couldn't stay near the lair for long, especially at this stage.
"I can't control her, but I can't tie her to me, right?" Li Xiang continued to eat his fish and looked at the little fellow in his arms. She was too naughty, completely different from Ming Xu who moved like a rabbit and was quiet like a virgin.
He didn't know who this quick-wittedness came from.
If it wasn't for Li Xinyi's strong constitution, he wouldn't have dared to let her wander around the island.
In the sea of stars, even high-level players had the risk of dying, and the deeper they went, the more dangerous it was.
The Spider Queen came behind him. Her beautiful face and cherry lips stuck out, and her long scarlet tongue came all the way to Li Xiang like a snake. A bright pearl stood on the tip of her tongue, as beautiful as a luminous pearl.
Li Xiang could feel the surging power contained in it, as well as the power of disaster that made his heart palpitate.
To be able to make his heart palpitate, it meant that the origin power inside must have come from Level 9, and it wasn't low.
"This is the Giant Spider Crystal that I've nurtured in my body for a hundred years. It contains the most powerful bloodline energy of our race. If it's my descendant, they can immediately advance to Rank A disaster after swallowing it." The Spider Queen clearly stuck out her tongue, but she could still speak clearly.
"Isn't this gift a little too expensive?" Li Xiang didn't reach out his hand. He knew the value of this thing. It was greatly beneficial to him, not to mention Xin Yi who was still a child.
"After eating it, the little fellow's constitution will improve a little, but the improvement will be limited. However, her body will obtain the supreme Giant Spider Bloodline and all the abilities of my race. You can say that she's half my descendant."
The Spider Queen continued.
The Giant Spider Race's stamina and endurance far surpassed many high-level races, especially in the area of poison resistance.
Xin Yi could resist the poison of normal Giant Spiders, but if it was the Spider Queen's poison, not to mention her, even Li Xiang would have a hard time.
After eating this, she would be immune to all Giant Spider Poison and even have similar abilities, and this was only a part of it.
As an apology gift, it wasn't just expensive, it was simply inhumane.
"What do you need me to do?" Li Xiang didn't beat around the bush. This thing was extremely beneficial to Xin Yi, so he would accept it and pay the corresponding price.
