The Ladder to Heaven has descended!
The phenonon of the heavenly ladder descending into the mortal realm is the most exaggerated; not only do extraordinary experts like themselves notice it, but even ordinary people can see the gates of heaven opening in a very short ti.
Grandfather still dared to awaken the Buddha Kingdom the mont he lost the Space-Ti Jade. He must be playing for the advantage with a preemptive strike in terms of montum, but is this really wise?
He turned back, looking at his grandfather with so incomprehension.
"In a world of survival of the fittest, there’s no room for hesitation. Nobody in the Southern Sea truly believes I have obtained everything, but it’s a fact that Madam Joseph is dead. Their investigations will take ti. Whether we can retrieve the Space-Ti Jade and secure the other two items in this brief ti will be key to our success in this last battle for the era."
The child paused slightly when he heard the phrase ’the last ti,’ hesitated, but eventually asked, "Grandfather, is this... really the last ti?"
"Undoubtedly..." Old Liu looked into the distance at the night sky, feeling the oppressive force that seed to be getting closer: "The original program settings have never been completely modified, and no one has been able to find where Pu YunChuan’s last clone is. Without locating it, we can’t make modifications to solve the problem. We’ve postponed things many tis before, but with each reincarnation, more Demon Statues appear, and the four major Demon Statues were luckily sealed in the last epoch, but this ti, it’s almost impossible to stop them. Going all out is our only option!"
"So that’s why Grandfather agreed to let the people from Digital City participate too?"
"This is their last chance too. This ti... no one will be able to escape!!"
The child bowed his head in silence for a while, then finally asked, "What are the chances that Chen Qing and the others... are still alive?"
"They are definitely alive, but it won’t be easy. Wake the Slumbering Buddha with all our might, and find out where he’s hiding!!"
"Yes...."
-------------------------------------------------
"I an....."
Zhang Zhengyuan, standing at a distance, was speechless. That purple thunder was truly terrifying to behold. The area it affected wasn’t large, but everything within it vanished!
Yes... vanished in an instant, whether the seawater or the surrounding air, everything was completely eradicated by the thunder, and for a long ti after, the seawater around didn’t dare to spread over, forming a vacuum-like spectacle that was truly frightening.
Is this the so-called thod of destruction?
He found it hard to imagine how, under such circumstances, Chen Qing would survive.
The key question was, what should he do?
Is it really to jump off the ship and commit suicide?
Zhang Zhengyuan looked around, with a speechless expression. He’s only a few months old. This is seriously screwed up...
Sigh... better to jump. Drowning is preferable to being eaten by so passing demon. But before he could move, he was suddenly picked up by a delicate hand.
"You.... who are you?"
---------------------------------------------------
"You’re here?"
"What were you thinking? At a ti like this, you don’t let go to Jiangnan to watch over your only asset, but send to the Southern Sea..."
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Capital City at this ti, a woman in black with an extraordinary deanor was standing. She was none other than Emperor Siao’s elder sister.
And the person she had brought back with her was Zhang Zhengyuan, who had almost attempted suicide at sea!
"The South Sea Noble Family has sided with us, despite suffering heavy losses in Yun City, so have survived. If Chen Qing can successfully lift the siege of the Southern Sea, his reach likely won’t extend that far, at least not enough to monopolize it. With the support of local families, we have a chance to get a share of the spoils." Facing his elder sister, who had been his only family since childhood, the Emperor spoke with an unusually gentle tone, offering a very detailed explanation.
"As for my armies, word has already co from over there; Jiangnan has accepted them. They are now confronting the Demon Giant Pythons at the strategic pass, and Jiangnan has not been shortchanged in logistical support, so there are no problems at the mont."
"Do you trust Chen Qing that much?" the Empress asked with a smile.
"There aren’t many people in this world who speak of justice; he must be a fool," said the Emperor indifferently.
Zhang Zhengyuan looked at him and did not know what to say for a mont.
"When I ca back, I saw the Buddha Light in the city and the Ladder to Heaven above. What’s going on?"
"I have no idea either...." The Emperor sighed, then turned to Zhang Zhengyuan: "What’s up with him?"
"On my way to the Southern Sea, I saw skies filled with thunderclouds and felt that sothing was amiss, so I dare not approach Nanhai City lightly. This child is the one that Chen Qing has always kept by his side; out of curiosity, I followed them, and afterward...."
She roughly described what she had seen, causing the Emperor to frown deeply.
"You said Chen Qing... is dead?"
"Not necessarily, but that kind of power... I don’t think anything could survive it."
The Empress recalled the scene she had witnessed, feeling a surge of fear. Luckily, she hadn’t wandered off with Chen Qing—if she had been caught in that force, it could have been an utter disaster. She had never seen such a terrifying destructive power before.
"Chen Qing won’t die so easily. Although I don’t know why he chose to rush in there, based on my understanding of him, he’s not one to seek death without a plan," said the Emperor.
"Is that so?" The Empress looked at him; this was the first ti she saw her brother having such confidence in soone... even more than he had in the King of Qin back then....
"As for the recent natural phenona, perhaps this one here could shed so light...." The Emperor said with a cold smile, looking at Zhang Zhengyuan.
Zhang Zhengyuan frowned: "I am not very sure..."
"You, like Chen Qing, are a Reincarnator, aren’t you?"
Zhang Zhengyuan: "....."
Before he ca, he had heard that the Emperor of this world knew about the other world, and about what a Reincarnator was. That damned impostor not only screwed things up but also let the local NPCs in on it. Could it possibly lead to....
Zhang Zhengyuan considered a possibility, feeling a chill. What disaster would it be, if the demons of this world defeated Old Liu and the others and then entered Digital City through the portal?
"Chen Qing kept such a young you by his side; your identity and status mustn’t be low, probably with a crucial role, right?"
Zhang Zhengyuan: "....."
"You’d better be honest with , otherwise, no matter what Chen Qing’s plans are, I will prevent you from reincarnating back to Jiangnan, at least not in coordination with Chen Qing!"
Zhang Zhengyuan’s expression turned grim, realizing internally: Just as the intel said, this native Emperor is no simple character!
"What do you want to know?"
"Since yesterday, Buddha Light has been emanating from temples all over the Imperial Palace of the Capital City, enchanting many citizens into worshipping. What are these? And...." pointing above to the sky, "what are that huge Ladder to Heaven and that giant gate?"
"It’s waking up ahead of ti...." Zhang Zhengyuan hesitated for a mont, but finally decided to reveal the truth. With Chen Qing’s life and death unknown, since he had co with him, there could be no turning back. He had to bet on Chen Qing still being alive. The matter of privately using the supercomputer couldn’t be hidden from Old Liu for long, and soon Old Liu would also know of his betrayal. By then.... there would truly be nowhere left for him to turn!
If there were no other options left, this imnsely formidable Emperor in front of him might well be a good ally to turn to.
"Waking up in advance?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes: "That supposed strongest of Ancient Forces? But according to what Chen Qing said earlier, weren’t these forces incapable of reviving?"
"Indeed, they can’t fully revive for the ti being...." Zhang Zhengyuan said softly: "Take the temples emitting the Buddha Light as an example, the forces of the Buddha Kingdom, any slumbering Buddha is of King Level; with the current Spiritual Power, it’s impossible to support so many High-Level Life forms."
"Why is that?" The Emperor pressed on undeterred.
The Buddha Light has been unceasing throughout the day. Though no dangerous figures have erged, his sense of crisis is growing stronger, feeling as if without taking action, the Destiny of his Central Plains would gradually fade away!
"It’s sensitive information...." Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the Emperor: "I wonder what the Emperor is willing to exchange for this intelligence?"
"Oh?"
