Once the new year was over, the atmosphere in the Seven Continents became even more solemn. Half of the cities had been mechanized, and all the major numbered cities had completed their first round of renovation. The following projects were mainly repairs and improvements, as well as the construction of underground cities.
Many superpowers had already settled into these new mechanized cities and adapted to the environment. After settling in, they were surprised to find that these cities were much more livable than expected. Although they looked like steel fortresses, the environment inside was very comfortable. Even underground, where the sun could not be seen, there were artificial suns providing light and heat.
Apart from that, the training academy also ushered in a few waves of intense learning and graduation. High-level players broke through their shackles and advanced to a higher level, instantly increasing the number of level 7 and level 8 players in the Seven Continents. This group of players would be the core fighting force against the returned undead in the future. They were also the backbone of the various superpowers, and some were even the leaders of their own organizations.
After the massacre a year ago, the number of level 9 players finally stabilized. They valued Li Xiang's ability to help them resist the rejection reaction more than anything else. As for the continuation and stability of their families, it was no longer their personal focus in this time of the apocalypse.
The remaining level 9 players roamed the galaxy day and night, fighting against the slumbering or awakening rulers. This was the first time the Calamities had encountered a large-scale attack by the humans. They did not have any alliances, and they still fought against each other. After a series of fierce battles, the humans managed to occupy many parts of the galaxy.
Of course, the level 9 players paid a heavy price for this. Ten died in the war, and seven or eight were heavily injured. These were not forces that could be replenished in a short period of time. However, the level 9 players who survived had improved significantly. With Li Xiang's help to resolve the rejection reaction, a few of them finally reached the level of Five Kings through devouring others of the same level. Among them, the Night King successfully broke through to Five Kings, filling the gap left by the Black King's departure.
In the small world, Divine Bell and Black King's research had reached a bottleneck. Li Xiang had secretly sent Honey and Sofia to the small world, and only then did they finally establish a new player system. They had created two new player Professions: Apothecary and Blacksmith. The former specialized in the creation of potions, while the latter specialized in the creation of weapons and equipment.
Potioneering was originally a Magician's side profession. However, there were very few Magicians who specialized in it. Ordinary potions could not affect the players' bodies and were only effective on magic users and ordinary people. Only those who had reached Bai Lili's level could create potions that could affect the players. Naturally, such a useless industry could not be developed. Meanwhile, weapons and equipment had always been the job of Mechanics. After Li Xiang developed the new mechanical weapons, the weapons and equipment created by Mechanics could cover almost all levels. Therefore, there was no need for a similar profession.
The two new professions that the three of them had researched together had very low requirements. As long as one awakened a magic circuit, they would be able to cultivate them. This solved the problem that many people were unable to cultivate. As the Apothecary's level increased, the effects of the potions created would become more and more outstanding. They could be used by the players, and unlike the strange pastries that Bai Lili made, the side effects were not as great. This made up for the logistical problems.
Blacksmiths could work together with Mechanics. The latter was responsible for the design and creation, while the former used cosmic particles for enchantment. When the two were combined, the power of the two would be close to that of Disaster Weapons. Originally, only Li Xiang and Lancelot could create Disaster Weapons. They could not spend all their time creating Disaster Weapons, and the world did not allow them to do so. Now, they could fill this gap.
Another big thing was that Fei Yujing had successfully broken through to Level 9 and gave birth to a daughter.
This child had inherited everything from her. She was born a Shared Eater and grew up extremely quickly. In just a month, she was about the same age as a four or five-year-old human girl. She was as seductive and beautiful as her mother, but she had a cold personality. She also hunted Disaster Creatures all over the galaxy.
Many Level 9 beings were extremely confused by this, and they all guessed the identity of the child's father. In theory, Shared Eaters could not give birth to descendants. This was also the price they had to pay to become such a special species. If such a species with no natural enemies could continuously appear, then the other species would have no way out.
However, now, Fei Yujing did indeed have a daughter.
They had some guesses about the child's father, but they did not dare to say it out loud.
Boom!
On this day, the sky above the galaxy rumbled like an apocalyptic thunder. It was deafening, and countless Disaster Creatures and mutants did not dare to show their faces.
On an empty island, a space-time door slowly cracked open as if it had been slashed by a knife. A strong Disaster aura spewed out.
Large cracks intertwined, and chaos surged. The Disaster aura that was as thick as water drilled out of the space-time crack along with a large number of Disaster Creatures. It was extremely terrifying.
In that door stood some cold figures. They were countless times away from here and were very far away, but one could clearly see the indifference in their faces and eyes. Just their aura alone made the Disaster Creatures and mutants below tremble.
Large flags fluttered, and lightning flashed. It was as if thousands of soldiers and horses were preparing to rush out from inside.
Not only here, but similar scenes appeared in the sky above many islands as if the end of the world had arrived.
These figures gave off a very strange feeling. It was as if they were separated by billions of stars, separated by thousands of years, and not of the same era as the seven continents.
The waves of the universe's stars surged in the space-time door, sweeping up a monstrous aura and shaking the world. Wave after wave swept down, crashing into the galaxy below.
The usually calm galaxy actually began to surge. It was triggered by the aura, as if something was brewing and was about to be born.
"What's going on? Is the galaxy restless? "
A Level 9 player who was training raised his head and happened to see the pre-epoch ruins in one of the space-time doors. He was inexplicably shocked, leaving behind an unforgettable memory.
In the ruins, broken metal walls and ruins floated up majestically, gradually piecing together to form a strange city. Over there, the sky was grayish-black, and lead clouds covered the starry sky. Blood-red lightning interweaved, tearing apart the dark sky. Gradually, black figures walked out of the city like an army. They were stained with black blood, and their expressions were indifferent as they stared at the galaxy and the seven continents below.
In other space-time doors, ancient warships appeared. Warriors who were also stained with black blood stood on them, slowly moving toward this place. However, the speed of the warships was extremely slow, making it impossible to determine when they would arrive.
It could be hundreds of years, or decades, or tomorrow, or the next second.
Cold eyes, cold armor, and no breath, but there was a monstrous Disaster aura.
In the galaxy, on a lightless island.
Two petite figures clashed together like lightning. In an instant, they had exchanged countless blows. Their speed was so fast that normal players could not see their movements clearly.
Below, Li Xiang and Fei Yujing stood side by side, looking at the sky, watching the battle.
"Eich's growth is very fast. As expected of the child who inherited the Void Queen's entire bloodline," Fei Yujing praised softly. "She's not that old either. How enviable."
"She's a few years older than Ying 'er. Looking at the situation now, Ying' er is going to win. How scary. How do you usually teach your daughter?" Li Xiang was very depressed. He had promised his daughter that he would personally guide her cultivation in the future. Therefore, after returning to the seven continents, he brought Eich to train in the galaxy.
The little girl named Ying 'er was his and Fei Yujing's daughter. She was also the famous Little Eater in the galaxy. Her personality was completely different from the other siblings. She was very cold and introverted. She almost never talked to others. She was always by Fei Yujing's side.
After knowing that he had a younger sister in the galaxy, Eich pestered him to bring her over. Li Xiang helplessly brought Eich to the lightless island, and Fei Yujing suggested that the two children train together.
At first, Eich, who was older, had an overwhelming advantage. She was very talented in Void Secret Techniques, and her sensitivity to the laws of space and time was amazing. Ying 'er, who was not even a year old, looked about the same age as her, but her strength was much weaker.
Eich was equivalent to a Level 3 player, while Ying 'er was only Level 1.
But in just a short month, Ying 'er gradually grew. In this battle, Eich actually had a chance of losing!
This kind of growth was too exaggerated. As expected of a natural Eater, born to fight, but Li Xiang did not want her to bear this fate.
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Li Xiang's voice, Fei Yujing chuckled and said leisurely, "Why, are you worried about your daughter? Are you afraid that I'll be like the First Lady? "
He knew that she was joking, but when he heard this, Li Xiang gradually had the same complex feelings as the King of Dong Ling back then.
He loved Bai Lili deeply and let his first wife down. He made the First Lady hate him out of love and destroyed three women in one go. If Ming Xu had not been lucky enough to meet him, and if the First Lady had not walked out of the knot in her heart, it was hard to imagine what more terrible things would have happened if this tragedy had continued.
Clone Ming Xu's twisted personality originated from this. No one would be able to accept that he was the product of incest.
However, he knew that Fei Yujing would not do such a thing.
This was where she was different from the First Lady.
No matter who it was, she wanted to surpass them. She was very competitive and did not want to admit defeat. She would not give up on herself and do such a thing.
However, it was this kind of personality that made Li Xiang very worried about her educating the child.
"Okay, don't worry. Ying 'er looks like she doesn't like anyone, but she actually likes you very much. Every time you come, she's already waiting at the entrance of the island." Fei Yujing smiled with a hint of jealousy.
Li Xiang's lips curled up slightly. Was this the feeling of blood being thicker than water? Of course, he could feel the little girl's longing and love for him under her ineloquence.
Just as the battle in the sky was about to be decided, the sky suddenly darkened, and a space-time door suddenly appeared!
Boom!
A cold spear stabbed out of the space-time door, almost piercing Ellie. Fortunately, Ying 'er reacted quickly and grabbed her sister to fall down.
"Be careful!" Li Xiang and Fei Yujing flew up almost at the same time and hugged the two falling children together.
The spear was also bathed in black blood and was red in color. It actually rushed out of the space-time door's restraints and wanted to split open this world.
Finally, with a bang, it was sealed back. It roared with unwillingness and a heart-palpitating power also surged out of the space-time door.
The moment the space-time door was closed, Li Xiang saw the owner of the spear clearly.
It was a black shadow that was hundreds of meters tall. It was like an unparalleled demon king looking down on the world. Its aura was like a rainbow, and it wanted to destroy everything in its sight.
The aura of this black general was very strange. It was different from any life form they had encountered before. It didn't come from the Eternal Land either. It was somewhat similar to the life form sealed in the jar in the ancient shrine.
"The peak level above Level 9." Li Xiang frowned and sensed the other's level. The other party also opened its originally closed eyes, which gradually became brighter in the chaos. At the same time, it locked onto Li Xiang and Fei Yujing.
"Looks like the final catastrophe is approaching." Fei Yujing stopped smiling and hugged her daughter tightly. Facing the majestic aura that made her heart palpitate, her figure suddenly became much smaller.
Ying 'er, who was in her arms, suppressed her fear and did not allow herself to tremble.
Eich, who was in Li Xiang's arms, was already crying. She could not suppress the fear in her heart. She was scared out of her wits by that spear. If she was stabbed, even her body would not be able to withstand it, and her soul would be scattered in an instant.
That probing attack was enough to prove the horror of these resurrected dead. If it was not blocked by the space-time door, perhaps Li Xiang would not be able to save his daughter in time.
"Come, I want to see how scary you are." Li Xiang straightened up and faced the gradually fading Undead General arrogantly. The other party had completely angered him.
Very quickly, similar news came from all over the sea of stars. However, this Undead General was the only one who had directly tried to make a move. The others had all concealed themselves in the doors of space-time, only revealing their appearances and auras to intimidate all the living beings in the seven continents.
Some Level 9 beings gathered together and discussed countermeasures. They also sent the news to the upper echelons of the seven continents, releasing an emergency signal and requesting the seven continents to enter a state of emergency immediately.
The abnormal scene in the galaxy could not be hidden. Someone leaked the news, and the images spread across the seven continents at the fastest speed, causing a huge panic.
Even if it was just an image, the power of pollution it contained was enough to make ordinary people terrified, or even go crazy.
Li Xiang quickly returned to the seven continents to deal with the matter. Only Fei Yujing and Ying 'er were left on the empty Lightless Island.
Ying 'er raised her head slightly, looking at her mother with clear eyes like a porcelain doll.
"Seriously, after so many years, his personality has not changed at all. I really don't know what's so good about him that you miss him so much." Fei Yujing was angry and amused at the same time. She rubbed her daughter's hair and saw a flash of loneliness in her daughter's eyes. She muttered, "Sigh, what right do I have to criticize you? Back then, you were also mesmerized by him …"
It was the same now …
She did not say this. She just watched Li Xiang leave without saying anything else.
As soon as Li Xiang returned to the seven continents, he received a message from Bai Lili. She had found the source of the information leak. It was a Level 9 being from a non-continent. He had always wanted to get lucky. In fact, he did not want to see the Evil Royal Court, the New Polar night Alliance, and the Poker Club in power. He had secretly leaked the image, hoping to create panic and then take the opportunity to unite with others to force the throne.
Unfortunately, before the follow-up plan could be carried out, he was killed by Bai Lili personally as soon as he returned to the seven continents.
