Chapter 598: Chapter 457 War_2
Similar assemblies were continually held, and yet they always ended in discord.
So chose to pledge allegiance to the Ming Mountain Sect, seeking protection from the Immortal Court. Among them were elites from many nations, wealthy families, and individual powerhouses. The majority of these sought to safeguard their own lives and that of their families under the wing of the Ming Mountain Sect, while a few strong individuals hoped for a chance to ascend in the future.
Others opted to support Xingxiao, hoping he could save the present world from the impending apocalyptic disaster after his ascension. This group was primarily composed of forces from various countries, with most of the powerful individuals being native to the current world and very few from the Mirror World.
With the taking of sides like this, many countries and powers in the present world fragnted, turning everything into a picture of chaos and disarray.
Zhang Tiande could not trust the Ming Mountain Sect, a major faction native to the Mirror World, for he understood all too well how such sects governed.
“The commoners are just weeds to the Ming Mountain Sect, and a tough one like is nothing more than livestock…”
Furthermore, he found the sect’s plan of destroying and then recreating the world completely unacceptable.
“Even though Xingxiao is a bastard, he’s still better than the Ming Mountain Sect.”
“I hope he can ascend successfully, and after becoming one of the Immortal Court Immortals, spare both worlds from this great disaster.”
But when he followed the supporting troops to the Western Regions of the Mirror World, he found that the place had turned into a huge at grinder.
A powerful Martial Artist, with a single charge, would raise a storm, rip through defensive fortifications, and blast dozens of soldiers to smithereens.
At the sa ti, unmanned combat drones pierced the atmosphere, streaking across the battlefield with sonic booms, as lasers and missiles locked onto targets on the ground one after another.
Accompanied by earth-shattering explosions, a bombardnt spanning nearly a kiloter instantly engulfed the figure of the Martial Artist.
Over thousands of miles of desert and Gobi, similar battlefields crisscrossed each other, densely scattered like specks of stars.
In just over ten days, Zhang Tiande had witnessed troop after troop vanishing on the battlefield, watching as one young life after another was violently snuffed out.
The supporting new soldiers, in a state of collapse, stared at the pools of blood on the ground. Just a mont ago, during the battle, the Gang Qi unleashed by a powerful individual had ground hundreds of people surrounding him into dust.
Zhang Tiande patted the soldier’s shoulder and, monts later, listening to the orders coming through the communicator, he exclaid in anger, “Are you sending them to their deaths?”
“Common soldiers, even with the best equipnt, are nothing but at on the chopping block in front of a third-tier powerhouse!”
“We can’t keep fighting like this, the battle lines will break…”
The other side replied coldly, “Zhang Tiande, you need to understand the situation. We are at war, fighting a battle for survival. Zheng Jingshu of the Ming Mountain Sect is the strongest force in the world. If we can’t deplete her strength before she fights Xingxiao, if Xingxiao is defeated by her and fails to ascend…”
“Then we will all die.”
“Make sure you understand, all of us!”
“Even if you save many people now, they will still die when the ti cos.”
“You say I’m sending them to die?”
“Yes, I am sending them to die, to deplete the strength of the Ming Mountain Sect, the strength of Zheng Jingshu, even if it’s just one move.”
“Only by buying Xingxiao more chances to ascend can we possibly have more people survive the future…”
At that mont, Zhang Tiande suddenly felt intense tremors coming from deep within the earth, the surrounding sand and stones jumping chaotically as if they were alive.
“An earthquake?”
“Has Zheng Jingshu made her move?”
Watching the mountain rise abruptly from the ground next door, sweeping towards him like a tsunami, Zhang Tiande’s heart sank.
“She’s a maniac.”
Glancing at the terrified, fleeing soldiers around him, Zhang Tiande sighed deeply and finally sat down on the ground in silence.
He knew that fleeing was pointless against the attack of such a high-level powerful individual.
And in the final monts of his life, a strange thought surfaced in his mind.
“At this rate, can we say that we’ve even depleted Zheng Jingshu’s strength?”
The next mont, as the earth upheaved, countless soldiers and defensive lines were swallowed whole.
A mountain range hundreds of kiloters long, like a giant dragon, plunged directly into the heart of the battlefield.
And the last mory in Zhang Tiande’s mind was the overwhelming darkness that filled the earth and sky.
…
With the end of the mory reading, the image on the screen also plunged into complete darkness.
Staring in the direction of the screen, the Su Yao Immortal’s expression was grave as she inwardly sighed, “A civil strife? Amidst the apocalypse, the strong individuals from all the factions of the two worlds have fallen into infighting?”
She found it unbelievable when she first accessed this mory, but upon reflection, it seed plausible.
“After all, the lower realm can never stand against the upper realm.”
“The so-called Ming Mountain Sect, Xingxiao, they are all but pawns of the Immortal Court, trying to survive through different ans within the plans of the Immortal Court.”
The Su Yao Immortal had to admit that this was the most viable survival strategy.
Based on the mories she had obtained, if the future remained unchanged, it would be the Ming Mountain Sect that erged victorious in the end.
And the controlled Zhang Tiande knelt on the ground, propping himself up with his hands, his face contorted in discomfort as he spoke, “This is my future mory? The entire human race is fighting to the death over a couple of mad dogs?”
The Su Yao Immortal sighed, “You should be thankful. In the end, it’s fortunate that one of the sides will survive within the plans of the Immortal Court amidst this misfortune.”
At the sa ti, Jing Shiyu asked doubtfully, “Are you sure these mories from the future are real?”
The Su Yao Immortal replied, “I can only say that these mories indeed ca from the future, and that these events surely transpired. But now that we are aware of the intelligence, the future will inevitably change.”
Jing Shiyu frowned, “Then why isn’t there even a bit of information about Lin Xing? That’s unreasonable.”
Gu She Fairy, although silent, had the sa question in her mind.
Observing the various changes in the battlefield among the two factions, it was as if Lin Xing didn’t exist at all, which was inexplicable to them.
“What on earth happened to Lin Xing?”
Both Jing Shiyu and Gu She Fairy understood that sothing surprising must have happened to Lin Xing, which led to his absence from this battle in the future.
The Su Yao Immortal shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“Perhaps the next set of mories will have news about him.”
She turned her gaze to the east, “I can feel that the mory is also in this world.”
Jing Shiyu said, “Okay, I’ll have Zhao Wanxi accompany you.”
After ending the communication, Jing Shiyu stepped out of the room, heading towards the Spirit Cave in East Sea City.
She intended to see Lin Xing right away.
