Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 1118 - 316: He Weidao—The Fall of a God



Emperor Li keenly perceived the decline in morale on his side.

He was an emperor tempered on the battlefield, understanding deeply the importance of morale. So he did not let the situation continue to deteriorate! Instead, he steadied himself, and his calm, domineering, majestic voice echoed above the entire battlefield, reaching the ears of nearly a million soldiers from the two military bases,

"A man is bound to die! Some deaths are lighter than a feather! Some are as heavy as Mount Tai!"

"I swear by the name of the Vice Chairperson of the Eastern Administrative Region of the Human Race’s Polaris Federation! Even if I am slain here, I will have no regrets! Because I fight for the billions of compatriots of the Human Race, for my descendants!"

As he spoke, the divine seal that had been hovering above the battlefield flew back, merging into Emperor Li’s body. And Emperor Li no longer cared about his imperial image, directly tearing apart his dragon robe, charging forth to engage Venerable Yuan Gu in close combat!

Emperor Li did not use grand promises to boost morale, nor did he use motivational speeches. Instead, he led by example in the simplest, most straightforward manner!

Yet sometimes, the simplest methods can be the most effective.

The million soldiers within the two military bases heard Emperor Li’s words and saw him fearlessly continue the fight, momentarily entranced!

Indeed! What does death matter? Even a regional emperor, a demigod with eternal life, fears not death; why should ordinary people fear it?

Moreover, the time to lose hasn’t even come yet!

In this critical moment, the soldiers couldn’t help but recall the objective of their involvement this time: to weaken the power of Yuan Gu as much as possible and stall him.

This strategic objective clearly indicated that the Federation must have a backup plan to deal with Venerable Yuan Gu!

Thinking this, the soldiers’ morale began to rise, climbing higher once again!

This resulted in the divine spiritual light surrounding the two military bases becoming even more intense, and their every movement became more powerful!

So, after a brief dip in morale, Emperor Li in full force and the military bases encircled Yuan Gu once more, stabilizing the situation.

Seeing that the slaying and crippling of four demigods didn’t achieve the desired effect, Venerable Yuan Gu’s expression also turned grim.

He was strong, and his divine power was vast, but he was not a perpetual motion machine. He had been stalled for three days, and today’s decisive battle showcased grand moves that cost him dearly. If this continued, he was concerned about excessive depletion.

He invaded the Real World to earn longevity, not to waste divine power for show. If he ended up costing more than he gained, it would be a huge loss.

Moreover.....although he had no concrete reason, Venerable Yuan Gu felt that this battle had been off from the start:

The attacks over the past two days were initiated by the other side, and their top forces had dwindled from 12 demigods to just three remaining, with most having fallen, yet they still fought fearlessly.

Yuan Gu had interacted with Emperor Li several times over the years, knowing that he was actually a very shrewd person who couldn’t fail to see that the outcome was decided, and if they kept fighting, his death by Yuan Gu’s hand was just a matter of time.

Yet, under these circumstances, the other side hadn’t retreated a step. They weren’t merely expelling him; it seemed as if they were executing a mission, which was exceedingly strange...

While engaging Emperor Li and the two military bases in battle, Yuan Gu’s mind raced: speculating on why the other side fought so fearlessly.

As he pondered, Yuan Gu’s body suddenly froze, and his expression abruptly changed!

Because he realized!

The reason the other side had stalled him for so long was likely because the Human Race had another card yet to play! Hence the confidence to turn the tide!

And reflecting on the recent upheaval in the Heaven Beyond the Heavens, a terrifying conjecture was born in Venerable Yuan Gu’s mind: The mysterious person causing chaos in the Heaven Beyond the Heavens might have secretly unsealed the eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends and brought them back to the Real World!

Normally, bringing eight Absolute Pinnacle Divine Fiends into the Real World would require a huge price, and there’s no way they could arrive unnoticed: it would surely trigger catastrophic celestial phenomena.

However, if that mysterious person could control and command Divine Fiends, perhaps they also had a method to bypass World Origin surveillance and veil the celestial phenomena!

Moreover, the Human Race sacrificing so many demigods just to stall him and deplete him was extremely unreasonable! It made sense only if providing an opportunity for that mysterious person!

And thinking of that mysterious person’s terrifying means of controlling demigods, a warning sound blared in Yuan Gu’s heart!

He realized he couldn’t continue following the enemy’s rhythm! Continuing like this, who knows, he might fall here!

Thinking this, Yuan Gu shouted, releasing the endless divine power within him. The whirlpool of Power of Laws spun wildly once more, drawing the Power of Laws of the entire region to him, making him as powerful as a Heavenly God!

He stood there in mid-air, forcefully taking Emperor Li and the military bases’ three strikes, then unleashed his eight skeletal arms, blasting towards Emperor Li and the military bases!

In that instant, the two military bases were obliterated, and Emperor Li spewed blood, flying backward!

Seeing himself defeating three demigods once more, a moment of relief involuntarily passed through Venerable Yuan Gu.

But, just as he relaxed, in the moment he exerted his full strength and his old power was exhausted while new power had not yet emerged. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelFire.net
