Chapter 235 - What, discussing who's the bottom? (4k)

"However, if you feel you can't get over it, go see him once after everything is over."

Although Elio felt Firefly's behavior was a bit cringeworthy, becoming infatuated with that Heavenly General was only human nature.

It was good that the two could get together; for him, it was beneficial and harmless.

"I will."

Firefly took a deep breath and nodded quite seriously.

She believed that Leon would win, believed that he would resolve everything, because he was just that kind of person!

"Silver Wolf."

Elio nodded, then looked toward another member.

"What for?"

"Returning this to you."

The black cat stood up in a human-like manner, then dug around the fur near its belly with its claws.

Finally, it pulled out a game cartridge and tossed it to her.

"Uh..."

Silver Wolf caught it, looking at the Aether Cartridge belonging to her own Punklorde legend, feeling a bit speechless.

"I'm actually quite grateful you're willing to return it to me."

She looked at Elio with eyes that said, 'If you want me to die in the line of duty, just say so directly.'

"But do you really expect me to exert force in a match full of 'Emanators'?"

Silver Wolf's mouth twitched; this was a hellish match.

She wondered, had she rarely offended Elio at some point?

Just this setup...

Let alone one Wolf Lord, even a hundred Wolf Lords wouldn't be enough to look at!

"Of course not."

Elio shook his head. "Just going all out will make us appear more sincere."

The target that the factions in the galaxy willing to come for this "God War" were betting on was entirely Leon.

Including Elio himself.

If anyone could resolve the "God War," they all believed that person could only be Leon.

Because he was the only one who possessed the qualifications to participate in the "God War" in the true sense. After all, if "Aeons" truly started fighting with magic power, it would be quite difficult to even get close.

But no matter what, Leon would definitely go.

Things that others couldn't do, he could do.

This was also the reason why Elio said only he had the qualifications.

Not only because his stats were the best in the current galaxy, second only to "Aeons."

But even more so because this was his nature—a nature that had always strived to be strong and competitive.

Their battlefield was the "Emanators" on the periphery.

While the target Leon's sword pointed at had been the "Aeons" in the inner circle from the very beginning!

"Do your best, and leave the rest to fate."

Elio sighed, muttering to himself.

An "Aeon."

In that future mission centered on stars, facing such an existence, even if Elio calculated every possibility, he could only barely scheme for a sliver of a chance at survival.

Can Leon win, facing an "Aeon"?

How would Elio know if he could win? That person refused to let himself be simulated.

However, if that Heavenly General were here, he would probably say one sentence:

"Nah, I'd win!"

Sigh, what will happen to the galaxy afterwards?

I'm afraid... only Heaven truly knows.

Xianzhou Alliance, Yaoqing.

The entire Xianzhou was making preparations for war; this would be their most magnificent battle in history.

"Junior Sister has rarely come back, so why do you look unhappy?"

Yao Guang and Fu Xuan sat at a table; the former chuckled at the latter.

"Is this Senior Sister of mine that annoying?"

The worried Fu Xuan did not speak, only looking at the face of the Senior Sister before her who came from the same sect.

"Don't pull a long face, Junior Sister. I just cast a divination for myself: turning bad luck into good luck, with the auspicious side dominating. Isn't your chance to be General coming right up?"

Yao Guang tried to use this method to break the atmosphere that was like a pool of stagnant water.

Fu Xuan still just looked at her, saying nothing.

"At least smile a little. Even though my skill at turning bad luck into good luck is top-notch, maybe I'll capsize? Aren't you very covetous of this General seat?"

Yao Guang pretended to be calm and teased.

"What, the General seat of the Luofu is okay, but my Yaoqing's isn't?"

Speaking of the Generals of the two Xianzhou ships, if there was any difference between them...

"That 'Lightning Lord' of the Luofu is so unsuitable for you. It's still my Yaoqing's 'Majestic Spirit' that fits the Path of Divination better."

It was only the blessing symbolizing the Reignbow Heavenly General.

After the words left her mouth, Yao Guang mentally pictured her Junior Sister with the "Lightning Lord" standing behind her. The appearance was quite comical; just thinking about it made one unable to resist wanting to laugh.

"...I was just thinking a bit about that Abominations of Abundance war not long ago."

Fu Xuan lowered her eyelids, wanting to have a heart-to-heart with her.

That time was like this time, also involving the entry of an "Aeon."

The expression on Yao Guang's face suddenly stiffened, the previous calmness vanishing in an instant.

Clearly, the Third Abundance War held extraordinary significance even for her, a Reignbow Heavenly General.

"Did you really draw 'turning bad luck into good luck'?"

Fu Xuan looked straight into her eyes, asking seriously.

This Senior Sister of hers had many legendary deeds. In a certain sense, she was a daring gambler, and what she was best at was turning bad luck into good luck.

Under her leadership, the Yaoqing exclusively took the most dangerous routes.

But such behavior not only resulted in no damage but even caused the Yaoqing's annual revenue to flourish.

"...The divination yielded no result."

Yao Guang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again.

"It's even more serious than that Abominations of Abundance war not long ago, isn't it?"

Fu Xuan knew what this meant.

In the Third Abundance War, the decision she made—a decision she thought was rebelling against fate, using the Cloud-Viewing Mirror to seek aid from the Reignbow—was something her Senior Sister had long predicted.

Just as Jing Yuan was quite clear about his own death.

How could this Reignbow Heavenly General, backed by the "Realm of Ten-Directional Illumination," not calculate the only method to break the deadlock of that Third Abundance War?

[Only by letting the Master Diviner of the Yaoqing use the heavy weapon, the Cloud-Viewing Mirror, to attract the Reignbow to descend with her body—only thus can the Third Abundance War have a sliver of a chance to turn the tide.]

This was the hexagram image Yao Guang obtained with the aid of the "Realm of Ten-Directional Illumination." And it just so happened that right when the hexagram image appeared, Fu Xuan's proposal was sent over.

Yao Guang, who had always been famous for turning bad luck into good luck...

At that time, even exerting all her strength, she could not change the ending and turn this great omen of evil into good.

If Leon were here, he could accurately tell Yao Guang why this was.

Although he knew nothing about that kind of high-falutin knowledge, the Rabbit Head was very sensitive to mechanics.

Yao Guang is a Reignbow Heavenly General; everything about her is naturally inseparable from "The Hunt."

And coincidentally...

No one understands "The Hunt" better than Leon!

Why was Yao Guang able to turn bad luck into good luck before, but ate a loss solely in this Third Abundance War?

Was it really because this so-called turning bad luck into good luck was purely luck?

Of course not.

The answer is actually very simple: it is "Causality."

Turning bad into good is no different from adding "Causality" to oneself.

Yao Guang could repeatedly turn bad luck into good luck because she could bear the corresponding portion of "Causality."

But the Third Abundance War.

It involved an "Aeon"; she couldn't bear it.

"...Yes."

After a while, Yao Guang sighed and spoke softly.

For a disaster of the scale of the Third Abundance War, the "Realm of Ten-Directional Illumination" could still give a traceable hexagram image.

But this upcoming "God War," no matter how many times she divined, could not produce a single decent hexagram image. She thought this was enough to prove the degree of this peril.

Far exceeding the Third Abundance War.

This time, aside from "Nous," there was a high probability that only Heaven truly knew what would happen.

"So... this time..."

Fu Xuan lowered her head, the hands placed on her knees couldn't help but tightly clench her exquisite dress.

"Can we still only pray for the Reignbow's Lux Arrow to fall like last time?"

Yao Guang fell silent.

This time was a true confrontation with an "Aeon." Who else had the qualifications if not counting on "Lan"?

She wanted to say yes, but for some reason, the words changed uncontrollably when they reached her mouth:

"Isn't... he still here?"

That variable who appeared suddenly, the Reignbow's disciple who directly reversed the grand situation, the "Starlight" Yao Guang bitterly sought, the current Eighth Heavenly General.

"He?"

Fu Xuan raised her eyes, naturally knowing who her Senior Sister was talking about.

Leon, the person she would never forget in this life. But to face an "Aeon," deep down she naturally felt they must rely on another "Aeon."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Yao Guang that.

The reason Fu Xuan asked that was because, in her heart, Leon—whom she regarded as proof that man can conquer nature—could not surpass this high heaven no matter what this time.

That was an "Aeon," who could kill an "Emanator" with the lift of a finger...

"Do you remember the words he often says?"

Yao Guang chuckled lightly, knowing what she was thinking.

Fu Xuan naturally remembered.

"Things that others can't do, I can do."

She murmured.

Judging from the results of the Third Abundance War, he did it as promised.

He easily ended this war that others could not terminate with the minimal cost.

As well as...

Fu Xuan thought of the chat records she treasured.

[I will fight against fate, and I will win for you to see.]

Fu Xuan had always believed in him, no matter when.

It was just that the difficulty this time was truly too high.

That big idiot, how could he win against an "Aeon"...

All the power Leon used came from "Aeons." This was also the reason why "Aeons" had absolute crushing power over "Emanators."

Unless discussing the Dao or seizing a position to prove the Dao, how could a subordinate offend a superior?

"The reason a dead end is a dead end..."

Not only Fu Xuan, but Yao Guang also couldn't help but recall the scene from not long ago.

Too many people despaired in that war, and too many people obtained salvation from him like Feixiao did.

Because of Fu Xuan's act of self-righteously going against fate, she instead conformed to the fate Jing Yuan had once divined, creating the hexagram that the master would die at the hands of the disciple. When her Dao heart was nearly shattered...

Yao Guang herself wasn't much better off.

She felt her own insignificance...

In a chess game between gods, mortals are powerless to reverse the heavens, even as an "Emanator" of the Reignbow Heavenly Generals.

The most powerless part lay in the fact that Yao Guang saw the long-destined future within the "Realm of Ten-Directional Illumination," but she clearly also saw "Starlight" at the same time—

Those faint possibilities not yet swallowed by the gaze of the gods...

This meant the Third Abundance War still had a sliver of a turning point, still had a perfect method that could resolve everything without needing Jing Yuan to enter the game with his body!

But that wisp of "Starlight" slipped away from her hands. Even though Yao Guang used all her skills, she failed to grasp the fleeting variable in the "Realm of Ten-Directional Illumination."

How can there be a perfect method in the world?

When both Junior Sisters felt despair because their own mentor could not escape the doom of death—

It was a figure shouldering a long bow, never once predicted in the future deduced by the "Realm of Ten-Directional Illumination," who suddenly charged out from the battlefield!

Just like... the Reignbow arriving in person, descending to the mortal world!

That person said:

[Merely a predicament. Reach out your hand, and I will lead you to kill your way out of the heavy siege.]

His appearance shattered everything; the high and mighty fate was shot right between the brows by his arrow!

"Only because no one was willing to go against fate."

Leon was that person who went against fate.

What Yao Guang believed in was that he would bring an ending no one expected, just like last time.

"He can win against a wisp of the 'Swarm Emperor's' remnant soul, so why not believe in him?"

Leon's existence itself was the best mockery of fate.

"En..."

Fu Xuan lifted her face, restoring her former spirited look.

Just as her Senior Sister said, why should she be worried?

Didn't her own master also not die in the end?

Leon could definitely do things that even "Aeons" couldn't do. For him, man conquering nature had never been a joke.

If one didn't know what to do, then one only needed to believe in him.

"It's truly rare for you two to gather together."

A hollow voice came over, and the Master Diviner of Yaoqing walked over leisurely from the side.

"What, are you discussing who will be the mistress?"

He chuckled and teased.

Yao Guang and Fu Xuan were stunned, and then his two disciples looked at each other and smiled.

"Of course Junior Sister will be the mistress."

Yao Guang didn't mind following up with a few teasing remarks.

"Can I, a dignified Reignbow Heavenly General, not compare to a mere tiny Master Diviner?"

With her status, being the main wife was more than enough.

"He has a close relationship with the Luofu, and the General seat of the Luofu will be mine sooner or later."

Fu Xuan crossed her arms, hmphed, and spoke unyieldingly.

Yao Guang smiled without speaking.

Her evaluation was that this Junior Sister of hers should go dye her hair white and cosplay a bit before coming to talk about this General seat.

Two disciples fancying the same man... a tragedy for the sect.

Jing Yuan said so with his mouth, but the corners of his mouth had never gone down.

Lying to you. What tragedy for the sect? If both could succeed, it would simply be smoke rising from the Yaoqing's ancestral graves.

Whichever Xianzhou's person could confirm a relationship with Leon first... although Leon would still be shared by the whole Alliance, he would actually have been tagged by the bride's family as their own.

These two disciples of his were truly no worse than the ones from Yueyu's family.

He was even offering buy one get one free here.

Unless Yueyu abandoned that old face of hers and decided to throw herself at him, Jing Yuan didn't know how Yaoqing could lose. Tiny Yaoqing, laughable, laughable.

He only hoped this "God War" could end peacefully.

After all, to tell the truth, Jing Yuan was quite looking forward to holding grand-disciples.

Xianzhou, Yaoqing.

"Look alive! Opportunities to fight side by side with your General Leon are few!"

Feixiao commanded the army to make pre-war preparations.

"That is a person of great kindness to our Yaoqing, don't embarrass him, you lot!"

"We will definitely go all out to cheer for General Leon! We definitely won't make General Feixiao lose face!"

The army was arranged uniformly, and the soldiers replied in unison.

The momentum was incomparably mighty.

Not only was there not a shred of pre-war solemnity on their faces, but they also coincidentally all wore smiles.

Because this time, they were going to fight side by side with Leon.

Leon's prestige in the Yaoqing needed no further words.

After waiting bitterly for so long, they could finally help their benefactor!
