In the nameless cemetery of the old Polar Night.
Outside the cemetery, the old gravekeeper was still guarding the grave dutifully. He stood upright, scrutinizing any passersby who walked past the cemetery.
This area was originally barren and uninhabited. It was common to not see a single person for dozens of days. Because of this, he was very cautious of every passerby.
This was a sacred place where countless sages and martyrs of the old Polar Night era were buried. Since he had been given this responsibility, he would guard it until he died of old age.
A dilapidated off-road vehicle slowly stopped in front of the cemetery. Li Xiang jumped out of the car, looking valiant and exuberant. His figure was nearly 1.8 meters tall, slender and stylish. His streamlined muscles, which had been trained over the years, were particularly obvious in his black outfit.
Compared to the thin and weak young man who had just passed the Unified Admission Exam ten years ago, he was much, much stronger.
The old gravekeeper's turbid eyes suddenly lit up when he saw him. There was a hint of disbelief and excitement. He had also heard that this new leader of the Polar Night had broken through the shackles that had troubled countless Level-9 players and even the Five Kings. He had jumped to the terrifying realm above Level-9.
He was so young and so strong. No wonder he was the person that the old Polar Night Magicians had high hopes for. He had never thought that he would be able to see the glory of the Polar Night flourish again in his lifetime, or even surpass the past.
Li Xiang nodded at him silently. He saw the old gravekeeper stand up and bow shakily, looking very excited. He was a little stunned, but then he felt relieved. He smiled and bowed respectfully in return.
The name of Extreme Night's players had already spread throughout the Seven Continents. During the battle in the South, the Yue Family had spared no effort in spreading the news. The legend of Li Xiang defeating ten Level 9 players had spread everywhere. His reputation had reached the highest level in an instant. It was even higher than the old Five Kings, and it was even close to the current most revered Evil Leader and The Fool.
The legend of the family of three was also a story that everyone in the Seven Continents loved to talk about. Although the Evil Leader's actions were strange and The Fool was a complete disaster, this did not stop countless people in the Seven Continents from worshipping and believing in them.
And now, Polar night players were also on par with these two titles, and their momentum was even higher than White King's.
After all, he had defeated ten Level 9 players in actual combat and could be considered invincible.
The cemetery was empty, but it was very clean. Along the way, there were many more nameless tombstones. These were the names of the members who had sacrificed themselves for Extreme Night. The work they had done made it impossible for them to write their names on the tombstones openly, let alone write any epitaphs or pay respects to them.
Many people wore the masks that Li Xiang asked them to wear for their entire lives. Even when they died, no one knew what these people looked like, what their personalities were, or what kind of people they were.
They were the lurkers in the shadows, the explorers before dawn. They were the backbone of the new Polar night alliance when it was at its weakest.
"They shouldn't have no names." Li Xiang walked forward silently, as if he was talking to the air.
"There are hidden documents in the headquarters that record their lives and contributions. Their family members in the seven continents are also properly protected and won't be harmed at all. The path of cultivation will be provided for those with talent, and those without talent will be guaranteed a lifetime of food and clothing. "
Night Shadow's clear voice sounded faintly.
This woman, whose original name was Night Leaf and who changed her name to Lily, was the representative of the new generation of high-level players. She was the last batch of players who could break through Level 8 to reach Level 9.
She was also one of Li Xiang's most respected teachers.
Her figure slowly appeared from the shadows. She wore a loose black mage robe with only a belt. As she walked, her graceful figure was faintly discernible, attracting the eyes with a touch of pink.
Dark Night Shadow's posture was languid. After taking off his hood, his face that resembled the Night King's was exposed to the air. He was extremely beautiful and was not much different from the number one beauty of the seven continents, the Moon Queen. It was a pity that his right sleeve was empty, which ruined his beauty.
"What's wrong? I heard that you sent an emergency signal to ask me to come over as soon as you came back. Is it just to talk about old times?" She smiled, wanting to touch the black-haired youth's head like before, but suddenly realized that he was about the same height as her. He was no longer the ignorant young man.
He had grown up, become stronger, and had become strong enough to protect her.
Just like what she had promised back then, when he was strong enough, she hoped that he would protect her in turn.
He did it.
Sensing Night Shadow's actions, Li Xiang smiled faintly, lowered his head slightly, and approached her without resisting.
Night Shadow smiled sweetly, changing from touching to hugging. She hugged him tightly and buried his head into her heavy chest. Only then did she let out a satisfied laugh. "Say, how good would it be if you were my son …"
It was rumored that Night Shadow had never married and only hung out with beauties. Even some of her students were affected by this strange hobby. The reason was that her heart had long been captured by her former best friend, Bai Lili. Unfortunately, Bai Lili did not have any feelings for her. Their so-called best friend was only when they were students, when both of them were very ordinary.
In fact, after being revived, Bai Lili had never officially met her even once.
"You can do that. I don't mind." Li Xiang raised his head and said honestly, "Compared to my mother who only knows how to scheme against me, you're much more competent."
He still remembered that when she knew that the Polar night was about to be overturned, and Li Xiang, as one of the members, might be in danger of losing his life, Night Shadow had secretly planned countless escape routes for him. She would not let him die for no reason. After that, she had even given him the business that she had personally managed for her entire life, as well as the Rose Maid Group, which was feared by the entire Seven Continents.
It was easy to add flowers to a brocade, but difficult to provide timely help.
This time, in order to save Xin Yi, he had lost his right arm.
"Don't think like that. Lili loves you more than anyone else." Night Shadow let go of his hand and stroked his hair. "Ever since she was young, she has always been a mischievous person. She has always had her own ideas, dared to put them into action, and was incomparably proud. The only person she was willing to share with was you. This shows how important you are in her heart. "
"I understand, but that was actually her only choice after her will was distorted." Li Xiang slowly recounted the truth that he had learned from Black King and Ji Ning.
Back then, the ten strongest people of the Seven Continents had left the Seven Continents, crossed the sea of stars, reached the other side, and entered the Gate of Eternity.
The Emperors coveted Bai Lili's physical body, hoping to turn her into the Goddess of Calamity's new carrier so that they could continue to control this super artificial intelligence generation after generation. They could continue to control the entire Seven Continents like a king in a cage, controlling all humans.
For this reason, they had signed a contract with everyone, allowing them to obtain benefits that they could not refuse. At the same time, these young people not only desired power, but also all sorts of strange feelings towards the only two people who were above Level-9 among them.
Some were afraid, fearful, and dissatisfied, while others were filled with the desire to kill Lancelot after being obsessed with Bai Lili.
In the end, Lancelot died, and Bai Lili was killed by everyone after she came out.
In reality, those who had participated in the plan to kill her included Lancelot who had died in the Gate of Eternity. However, in order to deal with her, they had to first get rid of the man who had always been protecting her.
However, in Lancelot's eyes, nine of them, including his own wife, were people who had set him up.
For many years, the secret and truth of this matter had long been discovered by the two of them. However, as proud as they were, neither of them would bow down to the other.
Both of them felt that the other had betrayed them. In Bai Lili's position, her son was naturally her only hope.
Moreover, in order to achieve the position of Eternity, she would have to sacrifice everything in the human world.
After hearing all this, Night Shadow could not help but sigh. Such a secret was destined to not be announced to the public. Among these people, aside from the Five Kings, the deceased Polar Night Mage was an ancestor respected by the New Polar Night Alliance. He was a pioneer recognized by countless people, and his final death was even more spectacular.
If everyone knew that the power he had obtained and the birth of Polar Night was obtained by betraying Bai Lili, betraying the young girl who had once wanted more than anyone else to lead humans to a more glorious path, how big of a commotion would it cause?
Including the Night King, Duke Siluo, and so on, these people's reputations would be tarnished, and the negative impact would be immeasurable.
If the truth was announced to the public, it could only come from Bai Lili. However, with her character, she would not say it out loud. She was too proud.
"Just let these things be. After all, you shouldn't be the one to reveal it," Night Shadow said solemnly, worried that he would blurt it out in a moment of folly.
"I understand. One of the reasons why I've asked you to come here is because of what I've just said. These people who have sacrificed silently for the New Polar Night Alliance shouldn't be nameless. I hope you can arrange for them to receive the treatment they deserve from now on. They deserve to be worshipped, have their names, and have their epitaphs inscribed on them. "
Li Xiang looked at the rows of brand new nameless tombstones and walked with her to the end. There was a newly erected tombstone with the words "Beloved Wife Ming Xu" written on it.
It was erected a few years ago as a cover. After all, Ming Xu's physical body was possessed by Bai Lili, and her soul had drifted to the Eternal Land. Nobody expected him to bring her back.
There was also a blank tombstone to the side that belonged to Li Xiang.
If he did not return from the Eternal Land, he would be buried here with Ming Xu.
"Also, there's no need for this tombstone. She'll be back soon." Li Xiang pressed his hand on the tombstone. In an instant, the stone turned into nothingness.
A trace of joy appeared on Night Shadow's face. Li Xiang had returned and even reached Level-9, but he had never officially said anything about Ming Xu's fate. It was just that the clone Ming Xu that he brought back was mistaken for her.
However, after a few interactions, Night Shadow was certain that it was another person. It was just that she looked exactly like Ming Xu, but her soul was completely different.
The clone Ming Xu looked at everyone coldly and arrogantly. Her strength was even more shocking. Her personality was completely different from Ming Xu's.
Now that she heard his promise, Night Shadow was relieved.
Li Xiang did not explain too much. It was useless for her to say too much about the Eternal Land. Only those who reached Level-9 were qualified to come into contact with it.
As for the clone Ming Xu, it did not matter how others looked at it. It was Ming Xu, not Ming Xu, or even if she had lost her memories.
He hoped that she could find her true meaning here. She originally wanted to replace Ming Xu, so it was not a bad thing to let her experience the atmosphere of Ming Xu's world.
"Okay, I'll get someone to do what you said. With your current strength, you don't have to worry about those enemy forces doing immoral things like digging graves. You defeated ten Level-9 players alone. With such strength, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble. "
Night Shadow did not object. She nodded in agreement.
After all, with Li Xiang's strength, there was no need to care about those forces. These spies were planted in their forces and families. Now that they had been removed, they should be the ones having a headache about how to deal with the next series of revenge.
Li Xiang treasured his companions more than anyone could imagine. Back then, he had personally gone to the Five Thrones to ask for an explanation for the group of ten. Now, he could destroy some so-called super forces for these spies.
"Also, I'm looking for you for this." Li Xiang transformed an arm from his hand. The skin was smooth and delicate. Night Shadow immediately realized that it was her right arm that had been devoured by the Black King.
When her right arm appeared in the air and was grabbed by Li Xiang, her body felt a trace of numbness.
Her body was as sensitive as ants when touched, making her feel uncomfortable.
This meant that the arm was still alive, and the nerves inside were not dead!
"How is this possible …" Night Shadow's mouth was wide open, her face filled with shock. Originally, it would not be difficult to get another arm. However, at her level, if she were to casually transplant another arm, it would greatly affect her body's adaptability. She might as well just keep it broken.
And to return it to its original position was even more inconceivable.
Not to mention the fact that the arm had been separated from her body for so long, the possibility of keeping it intact was almost zero.
"I went to find the Black King once and fought with him. He gave me this arm and apologized to you. Oh, right, I left Xin Yi with him and planned to ask him to take care of her for a while." Li Xiang smiled and briefly explained what had happened. However, he did not tell her the Black King's real location.
Night Shadow was stunned. Ji Ning was not crazy. He was like a grandfather to Xin Yi, but now he had become her teacher!
As for this arm, it had been nourished by the Black King's power. It was a blessing in disguise, allowing her to touch the higher-level laws of shadow and darkness.
Li Xiang used his Origin Energy to reattach the arm to Night Shadow's body. Seeing that she had recovered without any abnormalities, he heaved a sigh of relief.
The power above Level 9 was indeed miraculous. After the soul was formed, one's control over all kinds of energy and forms reached the peak. Not to mention resurrection, it was very easy to do this.
It was also at this level that Li Xiang was even more certain that Bai Lili had reached a higher level, Level 10.
The state of her soul when she was resurrected was too terrifying. His own soul clearly could not compare to hers. It was a difference of a whole level.
It was no wonder that Bai Lili was fearless. As long as she broke free from the shackles of the Goddess of Calamity's system, she would be equivalent to a Level-10 powerhouse. She would be able to look down on all heroes. In the Seven Continents, who could fight against her when most people were still unable to touch the edge of Level-9?
