Earth Star Reaches Level 7, New Mission
(New mission begins, votes requested)
"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I've only told half of what Brother Li told me. Heh, these vampires are really easy to fool."
The young girl thought to herself, unaware that these vampires were grasping at straws in their desperation. At this critical juncture, if someone offered them a way out, they would naturally follow without hesitation.
The young girl was overjoyed, but she peered out through some observation holes in the tunnel. The battle outside was still ongoing, but she believed that with the addition of a large number of vampires, the situation would fundamentally change.
"That Main God is powerful, but when it comes to 'underhanded' people, he's far inferior to Brother Li. With that little skill, he might not even be able to defeat me. Haha, he's really too weak. I think it's more appropriate for Brother Li to take the position of Main God." The young woman finally saw the figure of the person in her heart, and her eyes became somewhat dreamy.
Meanwhile, the battle outside continued. The Main God Mordor was unable to unleash powerful forbidden magic, nor could he retrieve the Rule Codex to write rules that would benefit him. He was completely outmaneuvered by Pluto King and the Head Monster.
While Pluto King and the Head Monster were not as powerful as him, they both had near-perfect 'physical' bodies, were tireless, and fought with a desperate style, which is why they were able to fight the Main God Mordor to a draw.
As for Li Wei, he was waiting.
Soon, dark clouds filled the sky again, and a large number of vampires emerged from their hiding places, seemingly gathering.
"Call"
Seeing this, Li Wei Weichang breathed a sigh of relief.
With the appearance of the Pluto King, Hades, the Head Monster, and Mordor, who were engaged in battle, also noticed it. At first, none of them paid any attention, after all, the combat power of a single vampire was nothing more than an ant in front of experts of their level. However, as time went by, more and more vampires appeared, and within a dozen minutes, they had gathered tens of thousands of them.
These vampires were all around * level in combat strength, with S level accounting for 20%. Each of them was clad in vampire armor, wielding deadly weapons, and in a state of readiness for battle.
"What are they trying to do?" Mordor, Pluto King, and the Head Monster were all shocked. Although these vampires were weak, if there were tens of thousands of them, their power would not be underestimated. If these tens of thousands of vampires joined the battle, whichever side they helped would have an absolute advantage.
At that moment, the vampires, led by several nobles clad in black armor and wielding two-handed black knight swords, began their charge.
As they charged, they shouted, "Kill all the people, protect our homeland! Kill all the people, protect our homeland..."
The slogans were shouted very loudly, and their meaning was easy to understand.
Without a doubt, the only one here who can be called a 'Light Man' is the Main God Mordor.
His current form was a humanoid figure composed of light, dazzlingly bright; calling him a being of light was no exaggeration. Hearing this resounding slogan, the Main God Mordor was stunned.
Not only was he caught off guard, but even Pluto King and the Head Monster were completely baffled.
When a large number of vampires surrounded Mordor and began to attack, Pluto King and the Head Monster finally reacted, but they shouted excitedly and joined the brawl.
Although they didn't understand why the vampires were helping, there was no doubt that if they pressed their advantage and pressed forward, Mordor would suffer a great loss.
Li Wei, in order to prevent the appearance of Mordor's 'forbidden spell', also mingled in the crowd.
At this moment, the one in the most difficult position was Mordor. He couldn't decide whether to fight or not. Normally, if he encountered this situation, he could wipe out tens of thousands of people in front of him with a single forbidden spell.
However, he could only cast small to medium-sized spells now. Although they were still incredibly powerful, their effects were far from ideal, and he was quickly overtaken by the vampires.
Immediately, all sorts of vampire martial arts and superpowers were unleashed upon him, leaving Mordor in a sorry state.
Finally, exhausted from dealing with numerous attacks and wanting to temporarily escape the battle, Mordor was caught off guard by Pluto King, who punched him hard. A scream was heard, and the humanoid figure made of light and shadow dimmed considerably.
With the subsequent attacks, the Main God Mordor was hit repeatedly by Pluto King and the Head Monster, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. Pluto King and the other seized the opportunity, jumped over and threw a series of heavy punches, making Mordor scream in agony.
Seeing this, Li Wei felt much more at ease. If nothing unexpected happened, the Main God Mordor would undoubtedly lose; he had now completely lost the ability to resist.
However, things were not as simple as Li Wei had imagined.
Seemingly aware of his predicament, a complex expression flashed in the eyes of the Main God Mordor, then, as if making a firm decision, he suddenly unleashed a blinding burst of light...
In the Vampire Royal City, Li Wei sat on a ruin, repeatedly fiddling with something in his hand.
The battle ended an hour ago, and the final result was unexpected by everyone. However, Li Wei was not surprised at all.
The Main God has escaped. He was severely injured and will not recover for at least several months, so he will not return during these months, which is considered a safe period.
Li Wei had anticipated this outcome; in fact, it was the most likely result Li Wei believed.
Meanwhile, Pluto King and the Head Monster sat opposite Li Wei, recovering from the physical damage inflicted by the battle. They didn't say anything to Li Wei, and their relationship seemed somewhat unpredictable. However, Li Wei knew very well that these two wanted to kill him, but they didn't dare.
They feared that the Main God Mordor would regain his strength, at which point the two of them alone would have virtually no chance of victory. Therefore, they wouldn't harm him, because he was a crucial asset in the fight against the Main God, Li Wei had at least fully demonstrated his value in this battle.
In addition, Li Wei also possesses an absolutely crucial bargaining chip, namely the item that Li Wei has been fiddling with.
Rule Codex.
This book possesses supreme divine power; any reasonable rules written in it will be enforced, and no one can violate its rules.
Without a doubt, what Li Wei held was the genuine Rule Codex, with its ancient pages and cover. The original fragment of the code, however, was nowhere to be found.
Afterwards, Li Wei sorted through the events in his mind and roughly guessed the whole process.
At the last moment, the Main God unleashed the Time Power. This time, he must have exhausted all his strength. Time, like viscous sugar water, trapped everyone within it.
Everyone involved in the attack was affected; their movements were slowed down, as if a scene had been paused, with everything frozen in an instant.
The Time Power requires an immense amount of energy to influence as many targets as possible, and clearly, the Main God Mordor has already exerted all his strength to achieve this.
But Li Wei knew that even if he exerted all his strength, this effect wouldn't last long. At least, Pluto King and the Head Monster would definitely regain their mobility within three or four seconds.
Li Wei guessed that the Main God Mordor must have known that time was of the essence, so he made a decision in a very short time.
He wrote a rule in the Rule Codex.
Anyone possessing the Rule Codex, including fragments thereof, must immediately exchange it for their copy.
Opening the Rule Codex, Li Wei discovered this rule. Without a doubt, it was written by the Main God, and Li Wei could more or less guess its purpose.
A characteristic of normative codes is that if the pages containing the rules are burned, those rules become invalid.
After the codex was 'exchanged,' the Main God now held Li Wei's copy. He almost instantly burned the fragment of the codex, and naturally, the rules binding him became invalid.
Li Wei guessed that the Main God wanted to kill him quickly and then reclaim the Rule Codex, but in the end...
Li Wei glanced at Pluto King and the Head Monster opposite him and a smile appeared on his face. At that moment, these two had just broken free from the shackles of the Time Power, thus indirectly saving his life.
The Main God, who was already exhausted at that time, naturally wouldn't risk his life to kill him, so he fled. He didn't even have time to retrieve the Rule Codex. Therefore, the Rule Codex of Rules, which now represents the power of the rules, is in his hands.
This is what just happened.
Although it was a guess, Li Wei was confident that the truth was almost exactly what he had guessed.
Feeling the slightly rough cover of the Rule Codex rubbing against his palm, Li Wei smiled. The power of rules was definitely a huge help. Even if the Main God of War returned in a few months, Li Wei was confident that he could grow to a level close to that of the Main God within those months.
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. As long as I have the power, no one can take all of this away from me." Li Wei looked at a beautiful figure running towards him in the distance, put away the Rule Codex, jumped up from the ground, and went to meet her.
Earth Star, the Three Heroes City.
Nina was excitedly recounting the earth-shattering battle in the Blood Clan Star Domain, focusing on how she calmly and skillfully persuaded the vampires to join the fight.
"It was because of my involvement that the Vampire Starfolk joined the war and were ultimately able to defeat the Main God. Therefore, my role was extremely important."
Nina was beaming, especially after Li Wei spoke up for her, confirming her crucial role, she looked even more smug.
At this moment, besides the people from Earth Star, there were also the Ghost King Ghost Princess, people from the Werewolf Star Domain, and people from Kai Star in the City Lord's Hall. This large group of people filled the entire hall to the brim, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Without a doubt, these four star systems are now allies.
Besides these four star regions, there is another person from another star region present.
Li Wei glanced at the several restless vampires in formal attire and chuckled inwardly. Earlier, when these vampires heard that the one they had driven away was the current Main God, these self-important fellows had turned green with fear.
Clearly, they understood that they had provoked a powerful being they couldn't afford to offend. And without Li Wei even making a request, the Blood Clan Council unanimously reached a resolution to join the Earth Star Alliance.
They knew that this was the only way out. Since they had already offended the Main God, they had no choice but to go all the way. Therefore, the Blood Clan Star became one of the Earth Star Alliance.
Of course, before that, Li Wei had already demanded that they hand over the murderers who killed the flower demon and the Pig Demon. After killing those culprits, Li Wei had avenged the great hatred of his two subordinates.
The next day, Li Wei led the experts from the Werewolf Star Domain and the Blood Clan Star Domain to conquer all the starfields that originally belonged to the An Hei Alliance. Since they wanted to fight against the Main God, they had to expand their strength.
After conquering all twenty-three star systems belonging to the An Hei Alliance, Li Wei obtained a large amount of 'Star Tear Ore'.
The quantity of these Star Tear Ore is so vast that it is enough to upgrade Earth Star from its current level 4 to level 7.
After spending an entire day absorbing all the Star Tear Ore, Li Wei successfully upgraded Earth Star.
The level 7 Earth Star is at least 10 times larger than before, and the extra space is full of mineral veins. Most importantly, the Earth Star's reincarnators can upgrade their combat power without any restrictions.
Li Wei was sitting in his room, taking out two Hades Fruits from his hand.
Seven days have passed since Li Wei left Pluto Island. Many things have happened in those seven days, but he has overcome them all without serious incident. Li Wei is about to face a new mandatory mission, and now is the best time to improve his combat strength.
After swallowing two Hades Fruits in one go, Li Wei closed his eyes to regulate his breathing. A moment later, a warm current surged from his lower abdomen.
The heat flowed slowly, like a hot spring, but soon it turned into a wild horse, rampaging through his body. During this process, Li Wei could feel his body constantly strengthening.
S5 level...
The second Hades Fruit immediately took effect, and after experiencing that heat flow once again, Li Wei successfully upgraded to S6 level combat power.
Slowly opening his eyes, Li Wei's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"With my current combat strength, if I were to cast the Wine God Spell, I should have been able to destroy the Main God's body on that day, right?" Li Wei took a deep breath, his arm muscles tensed up, and his fingers clenched into fists, making a cracking sound.
"5000 points of strength, 5000 points of agility, and 'spirit' exceeding 6000 points. As for stamina... 8000 points? It must be because my soul entered the Pluto King's physique. I wouldn't have dared to even dream of such attributes before." Li Wei let out a long sigh, thinking of his combat power and attributes when he first entered Shadow Street.
At that time, even he himself could not have imagined that he would achieve such success today.
"Even so, it's not enough. At least, I'm still no match for the Main God of War. He should still be recovering his strength. Pluto King said that kind of injury would take at least three months... Three months is all the time I have. By then, there can only be one winner between me and him... So, in those three months, I must at least reach the 'Star King' level."
Star King level
Li Wei suddenly felt a surge of excitement, and his heart was filled with boundless motivation.
"To further enhance my combat power, I must choose the mission world of Shadow Street. With the Rule Codex, I should be able to modify the reward values after completing missions, right? Heh, then in three months, I'll give the Main God a surprise, and also give Pluto King and the Head Monster a surprise..."
After the last battle, Pluto King and the Head Monster returned to Earth Star with him. Clearly, these two knew that only with them by his side could they fight Mordor.
However, this does not mean they are benevolent towards me. Right now, my relationship with them is merely one of mutual exploitation. If one day I were to actually kill the Main God, then I would undoubtedly be the next person they would kill.
This is why Li Wei is so eager to improve his combat strength.
"Then everything will be settled in three months. We'll see who the ultimate winner is then," Li Wei said with a confident smile. He then released his pent-up energy and walked out of the room with ease.
Qingzhou Prefecture.
As dusk approached, hurried footsteps echoed across the cobblestone street. Several merchants, preparing to pack up their stalls, had clearly heard the commotion and quickly peeked out to see what was happening.
In this day and age, there is no shortage of people with strong curiosity, but this time, it seems that something really has gone wrong.
A group of burly men dressed as hunters, their faces filled with urgency, were carrying a stretcher made of door panels and were running quickly toward a famous medical clinic in Qingzhou Prefecture.
On the door panel lay a man covered in blood, his face bluish-purple. Upon closer inspection, one could see that his left arm had been torn off and was wrapped in a tattered cloth. Perhaps because the person who bandaged the wound was unprofessional, a considerable amount of blood had seeped out and dripped onto the bluestone floor.
"Hey, where did this hunter come from? He seems to be badly injured," a portly merchant said to his assistant while cracking melon seeds.
The shop assistant looked flattered, knowing that this fat man was his boss, usually sharp-tongued and rarely showing such a smile. He quickly said, "Boss, you don't know, these are hunters from Liu Family Village, more than ten miles away. They're very skilled; in this area of a hundred or two miles, their hunting techniques are the best. But this time they must have encountered a formidable beast, otherwise they wouldn't have been injured."
Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, the fat merchant nodded, giving him a look that said "You have potential," before stepping out the door, lifting his robe, and following after him.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, it's almost dark, where are you going?" the waiter hurriedly asked upon seeing the situation.
The portly shopkeeper paid no attention to the waiter; he simply waved his hand and followed without a word.
The hunters were anxious, so they walked very fast and arrived at Huichun Hall, the most famous medical clinic in Qingzhou Prefecture, in no time. But by then, the clinic was already closed.
"Go, knock on the door! Sanwazi's father can't die; he has a whole family to support!" the lead hunter roared, and immediately a young hunter stepped forward and knocked on the 'door'.
It was called knocking on the 'door,' but it was practically banging on the 'door,' with a 'thump, thump, thump' that echoed throughout the entire street.
"Who goes there? Didn't you see the sign? If it's not an emergency, come back tomorrow," a young voice said from inside the door, clearly quite impatient.
Hearing someone speak, the hunter, though anxious, dared not break the rules of etiquette and cried out urgently, "Doctor, doctor, help! My brother has been mauled by a bear monster and is on the verge of death! Please, doctor, save him!"
