"Well..."
Chen Qingyu scratched his head:
"Actually, I'm fine, nothing's wrong."
As for abuse...
He shrugged and spread his hands, saying:
"I got trapped in her time loop, I don't know exactly how many times, but I must have been beaten pretty badly by her."
"Once my cultivation level increases, I'll definitely make her pay for this!"
The Great Emperor Wanxing carefully examined him, and only after confirming that he was alright did he feel relieved and sigh:
"You really scared me to death..."
After receiving Chen Qingyu's message:
In a panic, he abandoned Heavenly Bohai Sea and rushed towards the Great Tomb of a Thousand Autumns.
He traveled for a full hour, frantically urging his escape light to cover the long distance and arrive here quickly.
He feared that he might receive the devastating news of Chen Qingyu's Heavenly Lord's decree disappearing halfway there.
Fortunately, Chen Qingyu's strength was far more astonishing than he had imagined; he was able to hold out for a full hour against a Half-Step Heavenly Lord!
"Junior brother, you truly are a child of miracles!"
Great Emperor Wanxing patted Chen Qingyu on the shoulder and said sincerely:
"Throughout history, no Emperor Venerable has ever been able to withstand a Half-Step Heavenly Lord, not even for a few breaths!"
"And you, you held off the Emperor Huan for a full hour!"
"If this gets out, it will be enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire Three Thousand Dao Domains!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled:
What use would I have for these empty titles?
"What I need now is to find a way to help our Heavenly Stem Alliance achieve victory, or at least reverse the tide of defeat, so as not to be driven out of the Endless Battlefield."
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Wanxing exclaimed in praise:
"That's a good idea; it gets to the heart of the problem."
"We don't even dare to hope to reverse the defeat; we just hope to continue this stalemate..."
He paused for a moment, then grabbed Chen Qingyu's wrist:
"Let's go back to the Heavenly Bohai Sea first."
"My sudden departure from the Heavenly Bohai Sea this time is at great risk, and could lead to the collapse of the battle at any moment."
"Perfect timing. I'll give you your transfer order ahead of schedule. As for overseeing headquarters and this Great Tomb of a Thousand Autumns, I'll arrange for other personnel."
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
"Then I'll follow Sixth Senior Brother's arrangement."
"Um."
Great Emperor Wanxing nodded, then immediately transformed into a streak of rainbow light, carrying Chen Qingyu as they sped away.
Let's go.
"We can discuss any questions on the way."
"Boom!"
In the void, a dazzling, starlight rainbow streaked across space.
"That's an astonishing speed..."
Chen Qingyu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Even with him on his back, the sixth senior brother's speed far surpassed that of Invincible Emperor Venerable overlord, covering a journey that would take several days in just one hour.
Within the coverage of the starlight:
Chen Qingyu could only vaguely sense that the abnormal and violent changes in the surrounding space had caused his sixth senior brother's escape speed to soar to an unbelievable level.
"The power of Half-Step Heavenly Lord is truly boundless!"
"However, once I advance to the next level, I should be able to possess such power..."
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu suddenly turned to look at his sixth senior brother and said:
"By the way, Sixth Senior Brother."
I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.
"Oh."
Great Emperor Wanxing casually remarked:
Ask me anything, I'll answer everything I know.
"Um."
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly, carefully considered his tone, and then cautiously said:
"I'd like to ask, why are both alliances locked in fierce battle at the Heavenly Bohai Sea?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor Wanxing spoke in a very calm tone:
"That's because the unique mechanisms of the Heavenly Bohai Sea are very advantageous to us, and we specifically chose it as the battlefield."
"Oh?"
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly:
"What about the Earthly Branch Alliance? Why are they also willing to make the Heavenly Bohai Sea their main battlefield?"
The Great Emperor Wanxing smiled and slowly said:
"It's not a question of whether they want to or not, but that they have no choice but to do it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu asked earnestly:
What does this mean?
"Um..."
After a moment of contemplation, the Great Emperor Wanxing solemnly said:
"This matter concerns the truth behind the war between the two major alliances."
"The truth?"
Chen Qingyu's eyes flashed.
"Good."
The Great Emperor Wanxing slowly spoke:
"This protracted war, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a contest of magic between us Half-Step Heavenly Lord."
"Council members, Invincible Emperor Venerable overlords, Emperor Venerable Limit... they're all just pawns in our game, cards in our hands!"
"Merit points are of absolutely no use to us; they're just a carrot dangling in our mouths."
As for the Gift of Eternal Life...
He shook his head and said at this point:
"I'm not afraid to tell you, all the Heavenly Lord are intentionally controlling the number of Immortal."
"In each era, very few people manage to accumulate enough merit on the Endless Battlefield to exchange for the Gift of Eternal Life."
Even in a battle of this scale, if one side wins, at most four or five people can accumulate enough merit points; the rest can forget about it.
Chen Qingyu listened, deeply moved, and murmured:
"So that's how it is..."
After a moment's thought, he guessed:
"The focus of the battle among these Half-Step Heavenly Lord must be that legendary 'blessing'?"
"Good!"
Great Emperor Wanxing nodded and said:
"That 'blessing' only appears in the Endless Battlefield at the very end of each era."
"This era came to an end as early as a thousand years ago."
"The Half-Step Heavenly Lord of the Earthly Branch Alliance began their schemes around that time..."
As he said this, a deep, cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Layout..."
Chen Qingyu said thoughtfully:
"Sixth Senior Brother, are you saying that this current situation was meticulously planned and premeditated by the Earthly Branch Alliance?"
"Of course!"
The Great Emperor Wanxing snorted coldly, his tone carrying a complex emotion:
"If it weren't for their meticulous planning, how could such a coincidence happen?"
"Just over three hundred years ago, we each had five Half-Step Heavenly Lord, making us evenly matched, and we even had a slight advantage."
"But it was precisely this slight advantage that ultimately led us to our doom."
Three hundred years ago, three major events occurred simultaneously.
"First, the last remaining Half-Step Heavenly Lord, the ' Dark Emperor,' who had been lingering outside, has finally entered the Endless Battlefield, preparing to participate in the final battle and vie for that 'gift.'"
"Because the Earthly Branch Alliance was at a slight disadvantage, it was assigned to them."
"At the time, we didn't think much of it, after all, there were precedents for this kind of thing."
"According to the rules of the Endless Battlefield, since the Half-Step Heavenly Lord have been assigned to them, the allocation of ordinary Emperor Venerable will significantly tilt towards us over the next few hundred years..."
At this point, a complex expression flashed across his face:
"But what happened next was something we never expected..."
