"The final catastrophe, no one can survive alone. Once this kind of news is released, the killing between Level 9S will only become more frequent. When the protagonists return, each of them will be equivalent to Level 10S. Even if it's us, I'm afraid we can only fight with their adherents and won't be able to participate in the main battle."
The Golden Armored War God looked at the ashes and sighed. His words were full of pessimism and despair.
"Just like the low-level players in the City of Heaven who can't control their own destiny, they can only watch the world being destroyed. Unless they reach Level 9S, they can only participate in the war."
"Above Level 9S … Only those who have tried will know how difficult it is." Lunar shook his head with a bitter expression. He looked at Li Xiang with eyes full of envy and confusion.
Such a young person, who had cultivated for less than ten years, actually went from Magic Apprentice to Level 9S step by step.
Lunar used to be a very arrogant person. He thought that he was not inferior to the protagonists of The New Age. He had talent and was willing to work hard. Level 9S, which were unattainable in the eyes of countless people, were just a stop on the road of cultivation to him. He was confident that he could officially reach Level 9S in another hundred years.
This kind of cultivation speed was already very terrifying.
But after coming into contact with Li Xiang and hearing the legends of Bai Lili and the others, he began to doubt himself and finally completely accepted his fate.
That was the strength of the true protagonists of The New Age, who could easily reach Level 9S!
Li Xiang was silent and did not answer. Even the great Black King almost died in the process of advancing. In terms of talent and hard work, he could be said to be one of the best in the seven continents. Now he was curled up in a small world to guide Xin Yi. From the aura that day, he was still a small step away from the real Level 9S.
Until now, only four players had reached Level 9S and above. Every one of them was a genius, and the enemies they were about to face were all Level 10S. It was indeed very despairing.
He patted Lunar's shoulder gently and comforted him. "Nothing is absolute. From the peak of Level 9S to above Level 9S is only one step. If you think of it as a natural barrier, then it's really difficult to cross. If you think of it as a part of the journey, then maybe one day you will succeed."
Reaching Level 9 and above required the support of an extremely large amount of resources. First, one had to break through to Level 9. Then, one's name had to be spread throughout the seven continents in the form of rules. The second step was even more difficult. One had to create a brand new reputation.
After the White King reached Level-9, although his title did not change, everyone subconsciously recognized him as someone who surpassed the Five Kings. He was no longer on par with the Moon King and the others.
This was transcendence.
No one knew exactly how he did it. Li Xiang had relied on the battle with the Level 9 players to break through and complete the Mythical Creature form of the Polar night player. Unlike the ordinary Level 9 players, he had completely released his territory. After completing the Mythical Creature form, he had directly advanced above Level 9.
Generally speaking, this was only a step towards the peak of Level 9.
He believed that this was the blessing of the remnant of the Sanyuan Pillar God in his body, as well as the otherworldly soul that allowed him to form his soul without any setbacks. These were all methods of advancement that could not be replicated, so it was useless to tell them.
"It's easy for you to say that." The Golden Armor War God was jealous. "It took me a lot longer to reach Level 9 than the Five Kings. Among my comrades, there were the first batch of players, who could be said to be one of the oldest players. But in order to take this step, I cultivated day and night, but I couldn't even touch the edge of the embryonic form of the soul! For a hundred years, I've been constantly improving my territory and Mythical Creature form, but I still haven't made any progress. This path can't be taken! "
Lunar Shadow glanced at his jealous companion and sneered. "He has a lot of resentment in his heart. Because he cultivated for too long, he didn't dare to try to walk the path of a Shared Eater like me. Even if he swallowed an enemy of the same level, the repulsive reaction produced was enough to make him lose control. For a player like him, the only hope is to be on the same level as the White King, but the White King, heh …"
At the mention of the White King, Lunar Shadow and the Golden Armor War God shuddered.
That man was too scary.
To be able to remain undisturbed by the outside world, no matter how the environment changed, he insisted on only walking his own path of cultivation. He was faithful to one thing, and his talent and diligence far exceeded that of others. This was the true way to embark on a brand new path above Level 9.
This was a path to heaven that was forcefully walked by the most traditional player cultivation without any external assistance.
For Level 9 players like them, reaching this level, most of them had more or less secrets. Things that did not belong to them, or they had borrowed some external force. Only Bai Shili carried out the player cultivation to the end. When his sister broke through first, he did not waver and continued to walk his path.
The Golden Armor War God had already integrated many things that did not belong to him. That kind of pure cultivation path was not suitable for him.
"I think it's not completely impossible. If you can swallow enough Dominators, as long as you resist the repulsive reaction, you can at least reach the combat power above Pseudo Level 9," Li Xiang suddenly said. The Pseudo Level 9 he was referring to was the Black King who had lost control back then.
In terms of combat power, he could already match those above Level 9, but he did not have a title, nor did he condense a soul.
At that time, the Black King could defeat the Night King, the Shield King, and easily defeat the combined forces of Dong Ling and the Night Shadow. It could be seen that the combat power above Pseudo Level 9 surpassed the Five Kings.
"It's easy to say. Let's not mention that those Dominators are either hiding in the depths of the sea of stars or have terrifying combat power and are difficult to kill completely. Even if we can do it, just the repulsive reaction from digesting a Dominator almost made Taiyin lose control. Do you think everyone is as abnormal as the Lightless Woman? She can forcibly suppress the repulsive reaction. "The Golden Armor War God shook his head.
It was said that the Lightless Empress also had many extreme adverse reactions because she ate too much. She was a Primordial Coefeater, and her ability to resist the repulsive reaction was at least ten times that of Taiyin.
"Then do you know why the Golden Lion came to me?" Li Xiang's lips curled up slightly, and he briefly described the matter.
The Black King and Fei Yujing had proved that his original breath could help offset the repulsive reaction. His own breath was far richer and stronger than Xin Yi's, so the effect was better.
After hearing his words, the two's breathing quickened. Taiyin grabbed his hand. "You're not lying to us?!"
"What good would it do me to lie to you?"
The two were silent. Indeed, with Li Xiang's strength, if he really wanted to fight to the death, there was no need for him to use such underhanded means.
"Then maybe we can try. If we succeed, we might be able to produce a batch of Pseudo Level 9 and above. This will be very important for the final battle." Taiyin rubbed his hands together. That kind of despair was too oppressive. Li Xiang's words were like a lifesaver, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope.
Li Xiang thought from another angle. If the so-called Lord of Disaster was indeed among the seven people who returned, it would not be a bad idea to weaken the Dominators' combat power first. Otherwise, if a group of enhanced Dominators came crushing over with their numbers, the Level-9 of the seven continents would not be able to withstand it.
"Then it's settled. I'll go find Bai Lili to investigate the situation. If she … also plans to deal with the protagonists first, we might as well work together first. As long as there are Level-9 who are sincere in standing on our side, I'm willing to provide level-up help."
The second half of the sentence was equivalent to a promise. Taiyin was stunned. His perception of Li Xiang changed again. In his opinion, with Li Xiang's ability, he could definitely rope in, cultivate, and even control a batch of Level-9. In a short time, he would have enough strength to contend with the Evil King's Court and the Poker Club. If there was no final catastrophe, perhaps he could compete with Bai Lili and unify the seven continents.
But looking at Li Xiang's appearance, he had not considered such a problem at all.
He had almost blurted out that as long as they were willing to resist the returning protagonists, he would unconditionally help them level up … This made Taiyin suspect that there might be some trap.
Unfortunately, Li Xiang did not give him any time to react. He took his leave and left the City of Heaven.
A long time after Li Xiang left, the Golden-armored War God murmured, "Do you think this is a conspiracy between the mother and son?"
"He hasn't been leveled up for long. Maybe he doesn't have much understanding of our level." The Golden-armored War God paused and continued, "Level-9 values promotion far more than anything else. If he can really do what he said just now, even if he wants me to switch to the New Polar night Alliance, it wouldn't matter! But he doesn't care about this at all. As long as he's willing to resist, he'll provide help? He said it so matter-of-factly … "
"If you had told me before that someone above Level-9 had such thoughts, I would have thought you were crazy. But this person is Li Xiang. I suddenly feel that … it's really possible. Think about what he's done step by step. Hasn't he been working hard for the most illusory things? " Taiyin took a breath and murmured, "Including Bai Lili. Other than releasing the method of leveling up, have you seen her do anything else? She's known as the Evil Leader, but most of the messy things are done by her fanatics. She hasn't really slaughtered anything. After establishing the Evil Leader's Court, she hasn't really set off a bloody storm. "
"Looking at it this way, she really seems to be preparing for the final catastrophe. It's just that we all think she's trying to reach Level-11, and the condition is to sacrifice the seven continents. Whether it's true or false, it's all just our imagination."
Taiyin didn't believe what he said in the past. But after seeing Li Xiang's reaction, he …
"Do you remember the sculptures we saw in the Light of Humanity when we became players? At first, I thought that one day I could stand there like them. As the first batch of players, why do I have to be weaker than them? But for a hundred years, those people have died because of this stupid idea. For humanity, for civilization, for continuity, for protection, these slogans that have been shouted out have tricked this group of fools into dying one after another. In the end, I survived. Those who were more talented and powerful than me died before even reaching Level-9. "
The Golden Armored War God's eyes dimmed slightly.
There were many of his comrades in the first batch of players. He was a character from that era. This was what he was most proud of, but he rarely talked about it. It was because the real group of sages had almost all died in battle for the continuation of humanity. In that era, the cultivation system was far from perfect. No matter how talented a person was, they couldn't beat time. Everyone was equal on the battlefield. It was normal to die in the mouth of disaster.
He survived and ushered in the golden age. But this was also the biggest thorn in his heart.
For so many years, he kept cultivating and trying to reach a higher level, but he couldn't even reach the Five King Realm, let alone Level-9.
Now he suddenly realized that perhaps the moment he chose to retreat, the door to the highest realm had been closed to him.
"This kind of fool … is indeed not rare." Taiyin agreed, but his expression was extremely complicated. "When I found out that Bai Lili was feared by the Emperor Clan and was framed by them, I swore that I would never be that kind of fool. There was an ancient saying in the Blue Planet era. Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost, but …"
He couldn't continue.
The belief he had always believed was wavering.
"I've decided to release the players and magic users imprisoned in the City of Heaven. They can stay or leave at will. I will form my own army after Li Xiang and the others release the news of the final catastrophe. This decision is a few hundred years late, but … I've decided to fight." The Golden-armored War God suddenly said, his tone firm, as if he had made up his mind about something. "It's useless to just exploit these low-level and mid-level players. A true powerhouse should be like him, born from slaughter and battle, not sitting at home and constantly training."
Lunar Shadow looked at him in surprise. After confirming his companion's determination, she smiled faintly and looked at the ashes and golden bones on the dried-up lake with him. "Then let's completely open the City of Heaven. Even ants have the right to decide their own fate when the catastrophe comes. And I don't think it's too late now, right?"
The Golden-armored God of War couldn't answer this question. The answer to this question could only be answered by time.
.....
Subcontinent, Evil King's Court.
After the Golden Lion was killed by Li Xiang, many of the Evil Generals were in a state of panic. They used the name of the Evil King's Court to commit crimes everywhere, making the Seven Continents a mess.
Bai Lili had almost no restrictions on her subordinates. She treated them all the same, whether they were Calamities, Personified Calamities, or human players. She watched them kill each other with only one request, and that was to become stronger.
Now Li Xiang's harsh words not only interfered with the power structure of the Seven Continents, but also punished the players who did all kinds of bad things. This made them all very uneasy.
Bai Lili didn't seem to want to discipline her son at all. Those who knew her well knew how much she spoiled her son. Long before she was resurrected, she had been protecting Li Xiang's cultivation all the way. Now, she wouldn't interfere.
At this time, it was the monthly Evil Generals Conference. The huge circular conference hall was full of Evil Generals.
To be given the title of Evil General by Bai Lili, one had to be at least Level-7, equivalent to a high-level player.
A few years ago, there weren't many players at this level. But now, the conference hall was filled with people. All the seats were taken. Some of the newly promoted Evil Generals didn't even have their own seats. They had to wait at the back.
The closer they were to the three thrones, the higher their status would be.
In less than a year, Bai Lili had trained nearly a thousand Evil Generals. This force was enough to defeat any superpower in the Seven Continents. Also, she had a lot of Evil Generals, not just human players.
Looking at the growing Evil King's Court, they were full of hope. But at the moment, the atmosphere was heavy.
Fei Yujing, who was sitting on one side of the central throne, was looking at her colleagues with a mocking smile on her face.
Everyone's eyes were on the throne in the center. No one dared to look at the girl directly.
As for the other two thrones, one belonged to Lancelot. He didn't attend the conference that day. The other throne had been empty. Today, it finally welcomed its real owner.
But this owner …
"It seems that the Evil King's Court doesn't welcome me." Li Xiang chuckled.
