Chapter 1298: The General Star

“In the end, he went to the Abyss of Mockery after all…”

At the edge of the South Sea Domain.

A figure carrying a small hammer walked slowly through the corpses covering the ground.

The blood-stained coat danced in the wind. Beneath the elegant appearance, a restless madness seemed to be hidden. Chu Muyun looked up at the centipede legion disappearing into the crack in the sky, a complex look appearing in his eyes…

“I thought I could keep him this time.”

“There are always some people you can’t keep.”

A figure wearing a peaked cap appeared silently on the high wall behind him. He sat casually on the edge of the wall with his legs crossed, his eyes also watching the distance. A few strands of black hair hung down from his temples, and silver snake-shaped earrings swayed in the wind,

“He is not an ordinary person like us… The tide of fate will always push him to different places.”

“Heh heh, as expected, people still need to be compared. I never thought that one day, even we would only be considered ‘ordinary people’.” Chu Muyun chuckled.

Bai Ye shrugged, “I don’t know about you, but I certainly am.”

“But, is it really just fate that pushes him?”

“That depends on how you understand ‘fate’.”

“Oh?”

“Fate pushed by humans is also a kind of fate.” Bai Ye rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “This time he was forced back to the Abyss of Mockery, it must have been pushed by some existence… Don’t you think everything is a bit too coincidental?”

“Some existence? Is it a calamity, or… a person?”

“Hard to say, maybe both.”

“What a grand display.”

Chu Muyun sighed, “Can he come back in the future?”

“That calamity probably doesn’t want him to come back… but that person… heh heh.” Bai Ye’s mouth curled up slightly, “It depends on which of them can outplay the other… I’m quite looking forward to it.”

Chu Muyun was silent for a long time,

“I’m afraid they’ll play too hard, and even if they let Chen Ling come back… he won’t want to.”

“Then that’s not something we should worry about. This is the boss’s family business; why should we two working cattle join in the fun?” Bai Ye jumped lightly from the city wall and turned to look at Chu Muyun,

“But no matter what, I ran a long way to help… it wouldn’t be too much to ask you for a meal, right?”

“…Go ahead, what do you want to eat?”

Bai Ye glanced at the Forbidden Sea calamities falling from the sky in the distance and licked his lips,

“I want to eat seafood.”

……

Seeing Chen Ling’s figure disappear within the South Sea Domain, Chu Changqing’s gaze in the lake pavilion gradually returned to calm.

“I thought you would attack him directly and forcibly expel him from the South Sea Domain.”

Outside the lake pavilion, the blind man finally walked slowly behind Chu Changqing, his expression somewhat emotional,

“I just calculated it against the backlash; he really can’t use the power of the Calamity of Mockery at will right now. Even if you killed him here once, the South Sea Domain wouldn’t face too much risk…

But I didn’t expect you to choose to test him with the Fusion Faction…

Don’t you always hate the Calamity of Mockery? How could you be sure it would leave voluntarily for the sake of those children?”

Chu Changqing said calmly, “I wasn’t sure.”

“…Hmm?”

“Actually, I still can’t believe it even now… that he would really be willing to swallow the Vow Gu for the sake of those children.”

Chu Changqing paused for a moment, “Perhaps that law enforcer was right; he really has developed an independent personality from the Calamity of Mockery, or perhaps… this is also part of the Calamity of Mockery’s plan.

But no matter what, at least in this war between humanity and the apocalypse, our biggest threat has been resolved.”

“Hmm… as long as we can repel the Forbidden Sea this time, the South Sea Domain will be safe in the short term. With Pu Guizong sitting in command, you can also free up your hands to support other domains.” The blind man kept calculating in his sleeves, as if deducing something.

“When will the person you predicted arrive at the South Sea Domain?”

“Are you talking about the General Star who will slay the apocalypse in the future?”

“Yes.”

“Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon… That General Star possesses the power to restrain the apocalypse. As long as we can keep him in the South Sea Domain, our chances of winning this battlefield will increase significantly.”

“Send more people to the edge of the domain. Once anyone is found approaching the South Sea Domain, report it immediately.”

“Yes.”

Boom—!!!

As Chu Changqing’s voice fell, the lake surface, which had already calmed down, rippled again!

A dull roar came from beneath the lake pavilion, and cold seawater continued to pour down from the sky. The brief peace was broken with Chen Ling’s departure, and the Forbidden Sea launched another offensive against the South Sea Domain!

Chu Changqing’s gaze became increasingly solemn. The aura of the Nine Lords surged from him, and those eyes, like cyan suns, stared at the void above…

The entire domain roared under Chu Changqing’s aura!!

He took a step,

And the next second, his figure disappeared directly from the lake pavilion…

When he appeared again, he was already outside the shell of the Three-Eyed Giant Turtle. His long hair danced wildly amidst the surging ice-sea waves. The aura of the Lord of the South Sea collided with the Calamity of Taboo without reservation, and a terrifying hurricane swept across the world!

At this very moment, everyone’s heart was hanging in the balance…

They knew that the critical moment determining the survival of the South Sea Domain, and even the subsequent direction of the war between the human domain and the apocalyptic calamities, had arrived.

Of course,

all of this had nothing to do with Chen Ling anymore.

The crimson opera robe danced above the heads of the hideous centipedes, and the Forbidden Sea seawater that had already submerged the land tactfully parted to both sides, clearing a wide path for Chen Ling.

The centipede legion followed this path, penetrating deeper into the Gray Realm, and the outline of the South Sea Domain gradually faded from Chen Ling’s field of vision.

Chen Ling saw the massive body of the Calamity of Taboo slowly rising from the bottom of the deep sea, countless eerie and twisted giant tentacles obscuring the sky;

He also saw Chu Changqing step into the front line of the battlefield, fighting the Calamity of Taboo without reservation… Chu Changqing’s aura was like a cyan sun in the dark night, so powerful and dazzling. And behind Chu Changqing, that Pu family ancestor was like a hazy moonlight, silently cooperating with Chu Changqing’s attacks as they rolled toward the Calamity of Taboo.

One apocalyptic calamity, one Lord of the Nine, one demigod of the Book Divine Path.

Three ninth-order beings were locked in a struggle, the aftermath of the battle sweeping across thousands of miles, making even Chen Ling, who had already walked quite far, feel a palpitation.

The rejection reaction after swallowing the Vow Gu had subsided, and Chen Ling’s body had returned to normal. At this moment, his mood was very calm. Whether the Forbidden Sea or the South Sea Domain won, it didn’t matter to him…

No,

Chen Ling suddenly thought that the Fusion Faction children were still residing in the South Sea Domain. If the South Sea Domain was slaughtered by the Forbidden Sea, these children would have no way to survive…

Since that was the case, he still hoped the South Sea Domain would have a better chance of winning.
