The Onlookers' Fury
Upon hearing this, Hua Ye was overjoyed, a cunning smile spreading across his face.
"Furthermore, I reckon that, given the temperaments of those women in the Angel Nebula, they won't be able to hold out on Lieyang Star for very long..."
"Once that old bastard Dihong Kun rolls back to his own home, after all that back and forth, how much of the Merlot Heavenly Court's military force will be left?"
"What's the difference between this and Keisha without clothes?"
"I guarantee that as soon as I get the chance, I'll go straight for the middle lane, attacking from both above and below, making her unable to stop and routing her defenses!"
Their worries and anxieties dissipated considerably as a result.
But Hua Ye's lewd and perverted remarks made the two men, who still had some moral integrity, twitch at the corners of their mouths and cover their faces, unable to bear to look.
However, although the future is bright, the road ahead is quite tortuous.
After discussing it, the three decided that to avoid Hexi, who had recovered, from killing them all, they absolutely could not stay in the fan-shaped area currently covered by the Angel Nebula and the Lieyang Galaxy.
Therefore, they had to find a new place to settle down.
With the guidance of Ruo Ning, the traitorous angel, there are currently two safe havens to choose from.
The first is the Mottled Blue Galaxy where the Triangle Body, the angel's nemesis, resides; the second is the Styx Galaxy, where Beast Body Civilization and the pursuit of death are prevalent.
These are all dark areas untouched by the Angel Civilization. To avoid a potential joint attack by the Angels and the Lieyang Star, they have no choice but to temporarily reside in these regions.
Once he survives until his wounds heal and all the factors that could cause him trouble are gone, that will be the time for the universe to return to its Heavenly Palace Order!
"So, Your Majesty, where shall we go?"
Laguer for a moment, unable to immediately compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two places, and cautiously looked up to inquire.
Hua Ye stroked his chin, his beard swaying, and his eyes, gazing at the dark universe, narrowed slightly, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, on the planet Freyja, the Gate of the Heavenly Realm, wide open, gradually took shape before the Yordle City.
Pan Zhen, dressed in military uniform, and Angel Leng from the Merlot Heavenly Court who was in charge of guarding the city, walked out gracefully and stepped into this human city where gods gathered.
In the courtyard, after the Angel Leng confirmed Hexi's identity, they looked at the Heavenly Foundation King, who had skillfully resolved the crisis in the Merlot Heavenly Court, with admiration and earnestly reported their duties.
However, unexpectedly, General Pan Zhen, who was traveling with the angel, accepted an invitation from someone opposite him to sit at the stone table and chat and drink with him.
"His Majesty didn't come?"
Kevin toyed with his teacup, then chuckled and asked.
Upon hearing this, Pan Zhen nodded somewhat awkwardly.
"I understand. After all, there were some unpleasant incidents, and he's still too proud to admit it..."
Kevin smiled slightly, his tone softening.
"Once things are settled here, I will personally visit His Majesty on Lieyang Star to thank him for his help despite past grievances."
"If everything goes smoothly and the seal on the Chiwu Star System is broken, I'll definitely take Fu Hua and Reina back for a visit."
"No matter what, we're still family, whether we're together or apart..."
It was just a few nice words anyway; Kevin didn't care much about saving face, which had no real meaning.
Hearing that this madman who had almost blown up the Lieyang Star was now so easy to talk to and even had a pleasant expression, Pan Zhen was inexplicably flattered.
However, the thought of this "family" made Pan Zhen feel uneasy.
Especially when he saw the Heavenly Base King Hexi, who was exchanging glances with him, and the aloof Asgard princess behind him, his unease grew stronger.
It's one thing to have run away with Princess Jingwei, but please don't ruin the only heir of our Lieyang Star.
However, thank goodness, Kevin was just expressing a simple sentiment of closeness, but unfortunately, he was already notorious in one area.
P. S.: Angel Leng died in the Battle of the North Star. Although she was Ruo Ning's disciple, she adhered to her beliefs.

Chapter 1060, Section 1005: The Anger of the Bystanders
Several days later, on the Freyja Continent, as the war between gods came to an end, a new chapter began in the conquest between humans.
Queen Anixid of the South, a woman of skill and political acumen, has already seized more than half of the country's territory.
Her bloodless and peaceful transformation of the old land nobility, and the establishment of a new military meritocracy, made the Kingdom of Freljord the rising sun of this continent.
In contrast, the gains of Barbarian King Snaif and Grand Duke of Winter Sejuani of Winter were rather meager; the combined strength of the two sides was still less than that of Anixid's side.
However, Anixid had foresight; she was engaged to Barbarian King Snaif and was also a close friend of Sejuani since childhood.
Therefore, whether bound by interests or by emotions, two relatively straightforward people are unlikely to choose to turn against each other in order to vie for supremacy.
But in terms of overt tactics, Sejuani and Snaif combined are no match for Anixid.
Therefore, according to the estimates of discerning people, peaceful evolution should also occur in the barbarian tribes and Winter Fortress.
Ultimately, Sejuani and Snaif had no choice but to accept the inevitable fact of the three-way merger, swayed by the prevailing circumstances.
In particular, Sejuani possessed essential elements for survival and development that the North lacked, such as shipping, food, mineral resources, and commerce.
Whether Sejuani and Snaif like it or not, the "it's actually good" phenomenon is probably inevitable.
Meanwhile, amidst the turmoil on the Freyja Continent, Kevin remained quite relaxed.
In his spare time, he would sometimes call upon Hela to travel the world and explore the Freyja Continent more deeply.
As a result, his actions of intervening in injustices on several occasions led to his and Hela's travel stories being turned into an epic sung by bards.
Sometimes, he would also occasionally sneak into Yordle City to play a game of chess with Hexi, who was busy with government affairs.
Kevin will listen to her rant about the old slacker's return to work, and also recount his observations and experiences on the road.
Of course, nothing we do is without purpose.
He was actually gathering extensive information about the "Ultimate Fear" to see if there were any other hidden dangers on the Freyja Highway.
In the courtyard, Hexi pushed aside the official documents and carefully laid out several torn and withered parchment sheets.
The seeker's right hand, following the vague route and general reference points, and based on the land outline of Freyja, pulled slightly downwards towards the southern region where the sun shines directly.
"You mean, south of Yordle City, beyond layers of mountains, in a sun-drenched tropical desert region, there lies a legendary lost civilization?"
Hexi stroked her chin, gazing at the blank space on the map with a hint of curiosity.
Kevin nodded slightly, grabbed a piece of scrap paper, and roughly sketched out some terrain outlines.
"According to known records, they were called the Shurima Empire, which once established a glorious civilization and widely worshipped a god who was half-human and half-beast..."
"But tens of thousands of years ago, this civilization vanished overnight due to an unknown catastrophe, and its legacy was interrupted."
"There are currently two theories. One is that their emperor sought immortality, angering the gods, and the empire thus sank into endless quicksand..."
"Secondly, legend has it that the Shurima heard a voice from the void, gained even greater power, and ascended to higher dimensions; they call themselves [Ascended]..."
At this point, the man paused, then presented some of the blurred rubbings of the murals, looking at Hexi with a meaningful gaze.
What came to mind?
Hexi saw the half-human, half-beast deity in the mural, his brow furrowed, and he leaned back in his chair, repeatedly chewing on a few keywords.
"The Shurima Empire... a half-human, half-beast god..."
"Void... Cataclysm..."
"Beast Body Civilization!"
"The Ultimate Fear!"
The Heavenly Foundation King suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, his voice deep and unusually cold.
"Are you guessing that the Shurima Empire is connected to the Beast Body Civilization, and that they are also exploring fear?"
Kevin remained noncommittal, gently fiddling with his teacup, his expression playful.
"How could a civilization that hasn't even evolved to the God-Making Era know about theories like the Void Era and Ultimate Fear?"
The man flicked the teacup away with his fingers, looked up and murmured softly.
"Just a heads-up, there are already two dangerous areas on this This Planet associated with Void Civilization."
"One is the Howling Abyss in the northern polar regions, and the other is the Shurima Empire in the southern deserts. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
"Think about how the Three Northern Tribes came to be..."
Hexi naturally knew the secrets behind the birth of the Three Northern Tribes.
Many of them possess unawakened divine genes, making them the result of the Super God Academy's Gene God-Making Project.
According to Anixid, these genetic maps were provided by Ryze the Wandering Mage- principal of the Super God Academy, and are a legacy of civilization passed down from his homeland Rune Lands.
The Three Northern Tribes exist on the Freyja Continent, initially as Howling Abyss in the Howling Abyss to prevent the invasion of Void Creature.
Thinking of this, Hexi's expression changed slightly, and her pupils gradually contracted.
Could these Void Creature be the same ones who Oldest One destroyed the Shurima Empire?
Is there an inherent connection between the survival of these two civilizations?
What if someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes?
If we trace it back to its origins...
Beast Body life! Void theory!
At this moment, combined with Kevin's previous hints, Hexi felt a sense of sudden realization, as if the clouds had parted and the fog had cleared, but her expression remained uncertain.
Because, it seems, there is only one Known Universe that possesses both of these elements simultaneously!
"You mean, Death God Karl once conducted a civilization experiment on Freyja, using the Shurima Empire as a model, to explore the Ultimate Fear?"
Hexi lowered his voice, his brow furrowed.
Kevin nodded slightly, a faint sense of satisfaction showing that his old friend had managed to unravel the truth so meticulously.
"At first, I wasn't entirely sure either, but these rubbings of murals passed down from the Shurima Empire have provided a clear answer."
As the man spoke, he pulled out a piece from the rubbings and handed it to Hexi.
Due to its age, the image is indeed somewhat blurry.
However, based on the general outline, Hexi could still tell that this desert deity was a Beast Body life being with a crocodile head and wielding two double-edged axes.
"According to fragmentary documents from the Shurima Empire, this deity is named Renekton..."
"And on Earth, it's called— the Crocodile God Soton!"
"This is the Beast Body Gods Death God Karl threw into the Nile River region of Earth back then. You angels once fought against it..."
Kevin pondered meaningfully, his eyes gleaming.
Hexi gritted her teeth, her expression grim.
"Just as I thought!"
"That freak Karl secretly supported the Shurima Empire in Freyja, using it to explore the Void Civilization! Ultimately, this triggered the Void Cataclysm!"
Immediately, the Heavenly Foundation King looked back at the City Lord's Mansion behind him, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.
"Wait and watch as civilization Finality, then welcome the Void Era!"
"I almost forgot, Karl is a mentor at the Super God Academy, and also the most prized disciple of the Aeon God Kieran..."
"Do you think even those old fogies from the Super God Academy might be involved in Karl's Project?"
Clearly, with Freyja repeatedly dropping bombshells, Hexi has begun to doubt the motives behind the Super God Academy's actions.
P. S.: The Shurima Empire, a desert civilization in the history of League of Legends, was once destroyed by the invasion of Void Creature, which can be considered another integration of the world view framework.
