You Understood Again!

[After you left the Firewood Sect.]

Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang were not idle.

The two of them made a decision—they would cover for you!

[If you can leave Star Harbor safely, that would be best.]

[If you can't escape, Shen and Ma hope they can help you escape from the Star Harbor, so that Adou can also escape.]

[Therefore, the two, in their capacities as Kindling Society and vice president of the Blaze Star branch of the Torch Society, spent the next two years spreading the word and gathering many like-minded Human Race.]

These people gathered in the towns, mines, villages, underground areas, and forests surrounding the Star Harbor...

[As soon as things change in Star Harbor, I'll abandon everything and march on Star Harbor.]

This plan carries enormous risks for Shen and Ma.

They need to reveal their identities as members of the Kindling Society.

But they did it anyway.

[Because they have no plans to retreat, they naturally have no worries about the future.]

["Senior Shen, Sect Leader Ma, you..."]

[You immediately spotted Shen Yifeng at the forefront of the crowd, along with many other familiar faces from the Firewood Sect.]

[You can sense that many of the Human Race who came to help are not Cultivator at all; most of them are ordinary people.]

They used sickles, hammers, hoes, and even kitchen knives and rolling pins as weapons.

They had no armor, only ordinary coarse cloth clothing; some were even so poor they were barely clothed.

[You have no idea how many places Shen and Ma have traveled to in the past two years, how much effort they've put into gathering this group of people.]

[I only know that the difficulties involved are no less than those you faced in the early stages of your rebellion on the Fortune Star.]

[It seems that not only are all members of the Firewood Sect here, but the Firewood Sect's entire savings have also been exhausted.]

Human Race rushed in from all directions, clashing with the pursuing Alien Race army.

Although the Human Race outnumbers the human race, the proportion of mortals is too large, making them no match for the legions of the Three Great Sects.

[This was almost a one-sided massacre; the Human Race rushed out could only barely hinder the enemy's advance.]

[However, you see many Human Race strapped with explosives.]

"Protect the Bloodline of my Human Race!!"

["You damned Alien Race race! You killed my whole family! Today I'll annihilate you all!!"]

"Do you think we're here to die?! We're here for revenge!!"

["Even if we can't kill you all, we'll at least make a loud explosion so you know that not all Human Race are cowards!"]

["They steal our food! They force us to work! They won't let us cultivate! What right do you have?! I'm asking you, what right do you have?!"]

[A series of devastating explosions rang out amidst the chaotic battle.]

Don't underestimate the power of explosives.

[This is the Real Realm.]

Even Innate Martial Artist couldn't withstand being detonated at close range.

[Hearing their dying words, you now understand how Shen and Ma managed to gather so many people in such a short time.]

[They've brought over people who harbor hatred and resentment towards Alien Race!]

There are way too many people like this on Blaze Star.

[Or rather, there are far too many in the Real Realm!]

[You clenched your fists, unable to bear seeing your kin pave the way for your survival in such a suicidal manner.]

[Shen Yifeng was the most powerful Human Race who came to provide support. Having reached the ninth stage of the Core Formation, he was like a gust of wind in the forest, the first to arrive at your side.]

"Brother Chen, let's go! I'll cover you!"

[The nine Desolate Realm who were besieging you burst into laughter upon hearing this.]

"A mere Core Formation Core Formation Realm thinks he can stop nine of us Desolate Realm? Is this old man an idiot?!"

Shen Yifeng sneered, then suddenly shouted.

["Ma Bang!!"]

[With a loud bang, a figure burst forth from the ground.]

[It was Ma Bang; he was clutching several strange chains in his hands.]

The strange thing about these chains is that they aren't made of iron, but rather pieced together from individual skulls!

["Master! I will repay your kindness in the next life!!"]

[Ma Bang's body melted away, absorbed by the nine chains in his hands.]

[Then, one end of each of the nine chains merged into one, while the other end rapidly spread, locking onto the nine Desolate Realm were sent flying!]

[Reverse Engineering reveals that these nine chains are actually a single unit, called the "Earth-Binding Ghost Chain."]

[This item is Spirit Treasure, of Legendary quality!]

[But this is an Evil Artifact.]

[Because each time it is used, a Cultivator at least at the Core Formation Realm must be sacrificed.]

[Ma Bang thus gave his life without hesitation.]

[Once entangled by the Earth-Binding Ghost Chain, even those at the Desolate Realm will find it difficult to break free.]

[At that time, the Earth-Binding Ghost Chain will continuously tighten, binding the nine targets tightly together.]

"A mere trick! You think you can trap me?!"

Faced with the binding Earth-Binding Ghost Chain, the nine Cultivator at the Desolate Realm Divine Ability and Spirit Treasure.

[This wasn't difficult for them; in fact, it was quite easy.]

"Brother Chen! Don't let them escape!"

[Shen Yifeng shouts at you.]

[He knows you're very strong and needs your assistance with the Earth-Binding Ghost Chain; otherwise, Ma Bang's sacrifice would have been in vain.]

[You know this is an opportunity; if you can trap the nine Desolate Realm, it will be much easier for you to escape.]

[But they're running in nine different directions right now. How can we simultaneously restrict their movements so that the Earth-Binding Ghost Chain can bind them?]

["Think! Think! Chen Yi! Think!!"]

[Under extreme circumstances, you thought of your second supernatural Divine Ability — Divine Travel!]

[But simply using Divine Travel speed is not enough.]

[Even faster!]

[Adapted!]

[Using the Divine Travel!]

[With whom?]

[<Seven Divine Steps of the Starry Sky>!]

[How to adapt it?]

[How to adapt it!]

How can I reach all nine people at once and force them to retreat?!

[Appearing in nine locations simultaneously?]

[impossible.]

[Unless it's incredibly fast, placing oneself in different locations at different points in time, it will appear to outsiders as if one is simultaneously in multiple places...]

[It's a bit like CPU processing processes. It seems like multiple programs are running simultaneously, but in reality, the CPU processes them one by one. However, it processes them so quickly that it gives the impression that they are all running at the same time...]

[It's also like quantum entanglement...]

[In that instant, your thoughts traversed the vastness of the universe, contemplating many things.]

[Although you are not equipped with "Mortal Bone" at this moment, this sudden enlightenment can be seen as the culmination of your accumulated experience while you were equipped with "Mortal Bone."]

[Whoosh!]

Your figure trembled, then suddenly vanished from the spot.

[At the same time, you appear "simultaneously" before nine Desolate Realm!]

["Light Speed Fist!!"]

"Heavenly Dragon Blade!!"

["Myriad Souls Banner!!"]

"Nine Crows Divine Bow!!"

["..."]

[Your nine attacks, unleashed simultaneously from nine directions, struck all nine Desolate Realm Alien Race who were busy dodging the Earth-Binding Ghost Chain, sending them flying!]

[The Earth-Binding Ghost Chain seized the opportunity to bind them, quickly shrinking to tie all nine people together.]

["What is that?! A clone?!"]

"Who knows! Don't push me! Move aside!"

["Did I try to squeeze you?! I'm tied up too!"]

"Don't move! I have a Divine Art that can neutralize this magical Spirit Treasure!"

"Me too! Let me have one!"

"Don't argue at a time like this!!"
