Chapter 997
Return to the Main God Space: 3 People Died?
Just a second ago, this bolt of lightning was still 10,000 meters away from them.
But the next second, it was right in front of them, and then, as lightning struck, their consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.
And that's not all.
After a streak of purple-gold lightning flashed past Qingchen and Li Qingqing.
It turned into a handful of mixed dust almost instantly.
Then the lightning struck again.
Having traversed dozens of kilometers, they arrived outside a defensive barrier formed by the outward projection of a purple-gold bowl.
A soft crackling sound.
Saito Hajime didn't even have time to speak before he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just as the second bolt of lightning arrived nearby, a transparent wall of air appeared out of nowhere, blocking the remaining power of this heavenly tribulation.
"Take them with you!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao and Saito looked at Chu Xuan, who had opened his eyes, in surprise.
But before the two could say anything...
Zhao Yingkong nodded, and then Chu Xuan took a step back in the direction he came from, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Zhao Yingkong stared at the lightning that radiated from the air.
The compressed white spiritual particles transformed into light.
The clothes on her back and the back of her neck instantly ripped open.
After entering instant activation mode, Zhao Yingkong and her group's speed increased dramatically once again.
Even so, wisps of purple-gold lightning still lingered in the surroundings.
Our gaze returned to the center of the celestial tribulation.
It was at this very moment.
The three enormous robots, along with the remaining Decepticon machines, suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.
The reason is also very simple.
Because they sensed it.
They depend on the indestructible Spark Cube for their livelihood.
At this moment, a crack appeared that would not heal.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Honglu, whose entire body was almost solidified, burst into maniacal laughter.
"We can't stop it! We can't stop it at all!"
"So in the end, cultivation still prevails..."
Faced with a trembling army of robots and the insane Xiao Honglu.
The best response would be a terrifying bolt of lightning, even more powerful than the one before it.
One after another!
One blow after another!
When thunder banishes the darkness, when the black flag covering the earth finally disappears.
The cold, rigid voice echoed in the still-living mind.
[Main quest completed, Spark Source Cube destroyed, all members of the Central Continent Team returned to the Main God Space...]
Looking at Earth from the perspective of dark space.
The scattered sparks fell to the ground.
This created ripples one after another.
These ripples swept across the two battlefields where the Zhongzhou team had appeared, erasing the last trace of their presence.
The figure eventually disappeared.
All that remained was a ravaged Earth, invaded by extraterrestrial life.
When the sun rises again.
One by one, people with dazed expressions crawled out of the ruins.
They all immediately looked towards the warm, golden sunlight.
When the disaster is over, humanity will once again stand at the top of the world.
---------
In a daze, I heard the main god in my mind broadcasting.
With 70% of his body carbonized, Li Xiao had only one thought.
"What a mess! I thought the Transformers world would be smooth sailing, but I never expected it to turn out so terrifying."
"Even if Zheng Zha breaks through again, even if I have mastered destruction, even if Xiao Honglu uses time-related items, in the end, I was still outmaneuvered by the main god..."
Main God Space.
The white sphere of light remained unchanged, unaffected by anyone.
And then, at a certain moment...
In the once deserted square, several figures of various shapes and sizes appeared, suspended in mid-air.
Without exception, all these figures looked wretched and on the verge of death.
Upon realizing he had returned, Li Xiao relaxed and instantly fell into a coma.
Chen Zilong, Zhu Wen, and Lingdian, who were with him, also looked like they were about to die from serious injuries.
There was no way around it; even the most elite soldiers couldn't withstand the combined onslaught of destructive energies—a nuclear explosion and a celestial tribulation.
Perhaps it's due to physical limitations.
Only Chen Zilong has remained conscious from the very end until now, at least he can barely open his eyes.
However, his injuries were so severe that he could not even make a sound.
The moment he had this thought, blood and bits of flesh began to gush from his mouth, spraying onto the ground.
It was at this moment that Chen Zilong was able to see his surroundings clearly.
Besides himself, the others suspended in the air were either critically injured and on the verge of death, or already unconscious.
There were even three fewer figures than when they entered.
The only two conscious individuals were unable to utter a sound.
Beneath the sphere of light.
The other figure, who still retained consciousness, was even more unique.
Chu Xuan was also the only one among those present who was not physically injured.
But at this moment, the man looked incredibly old, as if he were over ninety years old.
His hair was gray, his skin was wrinkled, and he looked utterly aged.
Except for those eyes, which are still bright.
This person could be said to have only half a breath left.
So much so that he didn't even have the strength to speak; he could only stay still and breathe weakly, which was how he managed to survive.
As time went on.
Chu Xuan's breathing was intermittent, as if it might stop at any moment.
Li Xiao's body was charred black, and his half-gold body, covered in cracks, remained motionless.
Zhao Yingkong's half had completely disappeared, and the blood and flesh had been transformed into spiritual particles that scattered and gathered intermittently.
Saito Hajime had a hole the size of a bowl in his neck, from which blood was gushing out.
Cheng Xiao was surrounded by three pacifiers, and three colors of deathly flames intertwined, seemingly healing himself.
Seeing these injuries, Chen Zilong grew increasingly anxious.
His arm twitched several times, but the petrified Iron Rod beneath him did not react.
Time passed second by second.
Just when Chen Zilong was in despair.
A voice he had never heard before suddenly rang out.
"Ugh!"
"God, begin the treatment. As for the reward points, the usual method will deduct them from my account."
As beams of light appeared, Chen Zilong finally breathed a sigh of relief, enveloped in countless warm points of light.
However, one question remained in my mind: who was the person who said those words?
-
The figure standing on the ground took out a cigarette, lit it, put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath.
Accompanied by a puff of smoke, another inexplicable sigh was heard.
Then, no longer looking at the people in the beam of light, he turned and went into his room.
open the door.
enter.
He looked at the familiar rented room, stood at the door and finished smoking a cigarette before lying down on the narrow bed.
Close your eyes and start to sleep.
Main God Square.
"One, two, three..."
"Did three people die?"
"Xiao Honglu, and Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan?"
Li Xiao, who had regained consciousness within the pillar of light, murmured with a complex expression. He wasn't the only one who had discovered this problem.
Chen Zilong, Saito Hajime, Cheng Xiao, and Zero all fell silent after landing, having already completed their repairs.
Next came Zhao Yingkong, then Li Xiao, and finally Chu Xuan completed the repair.
When the last pillar of light disappeared from under the main god.
For the first time, the entire God Space fell silent.
The silence was broken by a sob.
Zhu Wen thought she would no longer shed tears for no reason.
But she overestimated herself.
Chen Zilong was about to step forward to say something when he saw Zhu Wen covering her mouth and looking pained when Qi Teng stopped him.
Li Xiao showed no expression upon seeing this scene; he simply raised his head and looked at the white orb of light representing the main god.
He knew it in his heart.
This is perhaps the saddest moment for the Zhongzhou team since their many comebacks.
Because among the veterans, there finally emerged someone who died a second time and had no chance of resurrection.
And the team's most core captain.
Even the undisputed protagonist could not escape the fate of death.
Seeing that everyone present could no longer suppress their emotions, Zhu Wen squatted down and burst into tears.
Everyone who witnessed this scene had a complex expression.
Even Chu Xuan stood quietly to one side, seemingly deep in thought.
The silent Zhao Yingkong also raised her head, gazing at the main god.
Qi Tengyi and Cheng Xiao pursed their lips.
Meanwhile, Zero in the corner seemed to have seen something in advance and suddenly turned his head to look at a certain place.
But before he could speak, a sound of a lock being pried open rang out, and a large door was opened from the inside out.
Everyone under the Supreme God was stunned when they saw it.
Even Chu Xuan was no exception.
When the door opened and people peeked out, it was Loli, Xin'er, and Yue'er.
The three were taken aback when they saw that everyone had returned, but then they became happy.
But they soon realized that something was wrong, especially the figure squatting on the ground crying loudly.
Leaving aside the expressions of the others.
Zhu Wen raised her head when she felt herself being hugged.
Looking at Xin'er and the little girl beside her, Zhu Wen rubbed her eyes and touched them to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating.
"What's wrong, Xiaowen?"
"Has something happened?"
As always, Xin'er asked softly, just like an older sister.
The little girl took out a tissue and wiped the tears from Zhu Wen's cheeks.
She said softly, "It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you're back."
After comforting the little girl, he looked at the crowd again, trying to find his own figure.
But there were only seven or eight people in total, and they could be seen at a glance.
Not only was Zheng Zha missing, but Zhan Lan was also nowhere to be found.
Coupled with Zhu Wen's appearance, the little girl already had a bad feeling.
Looking at the person comforting her, Zhu Wen was momentarily speechless.
She knew one thing: when a veteran dies, the android he exchanged for will inevitably disappear as well.
Chu Xuan and Zhang Jie were no exceptions.
But now.
Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu are not under the control of the main god, but Loli and Xin'er are still alive.
Even the most clueless Saito and his friends came to their senses one by one.
"Something's not right, what's wrong with those two... what's going on..."
Before anyone could answer, another door was opened.
A figure stretched and yawned as it emerged from within.
"Oh my, you've all recovered?"
"Is it so quiet because they're waiting to welcome me?"
"I'm flattered! Hahaha!"
A joking voice rang out.
The familiar tone made Saito Hajime, Zero, and Li Xiao, who were in a daze, suddenly raise their heads.
Even Chu Xuan, who had already recovered, frowned.
They froze when they saw the figure leaning against the doorframe, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips.
It wasn't until the figure finished smoking the half-stick and walked up to Li Xiao that he came to his senses and stood up straight.
He murmured in disbelief:
"Jay... Brother Jay!!!"
Li Xiao came to her senses and finally understood what had happened.
He realized it belatedly.
He had given the shield to Zheng Zha, but after Zheng Zha entered a special state, the shield that Zhang Jie had transformed into disappeared.
Now it seems, perhaps it's because Zheng Zha entered a special state?
Or was it Zhan Lan's final burst of mental power?
Or perhaps it was the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation triggered by Xiao Honglu?
Perhaps it was one of them, or perhaps two combined, or even all three, that made Zhang Jie "wake up".
According to Ziyuan's original explanation, this was to use external force to replenish the three souls and seven spirits that were originally incomplete.
So Zhang Jie has recovered!
Under the supreme god.
He was still wearing the black combat uniform that most people were familiar with, with a Desert Eagle slung across his back.
The man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth smiled and greeted Zhu Wen and Cheng Xiao, whom he had never met before.
Then he opened his arms and hugged his three old friends, Li Xiao, Saito Ichiro, and Lingdian, one by one.
"I was forced to do this before, and I apologize to everyone for that."
Zhang Jie looked at the three of them and said solemnly.
Then, perhaps noticing the way others were looking at Loli and Xin'er, they realized...
He quickly replied with a smile.
"Oh, did you think Zheng Zha and Xiao Honglu were dead?"
"Do not worry."
"I won't die."
"The situation might not be very good, if you see it."
"Um, could I trouble this beautiful lady..."
Zhang Jie glanced at Zhu Wen and gestured to Luo Li and Xin'er.
Zhu Wen then realized what was happening, said a few words, and led the three back to their room.
Zhang Jie waved goodbye after closing the door.
next moment.
A fist-sized, beating, blood-red heart.
A transparent baby appeared beneath the main god.
The sound of my heart beating was like the morning bell and evening drum, one beat after another, seemingly full of mystery.
At the very bottom of the heart, there was a small, blood-red flame that connected with the flame above.
The baby on the other side looks extremely small.
It's only slightly larger than a heart.
At first glance, it looks like an underdeveloped embryo, completely transparent, with its eyes closed and its facial features indistinct.
However, through the transparent body, one can see that there is a golden core inside the infant that has been shattered by external force.
Even so, the tiny baby still adopted a posture with its five hearts facing upwards, and was actually cultivating by absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy.
Perhaps they knew what questions would be asked.
So before Li Xiao and the others could speak, Zhang Jie explained:
"This was the first thing I saw after I returned."
"Compared to you two, it took me quite a bit of effort to recognize that this heart belongs to Zheng Zha, and this nascent soul, which I'll call the nascent soul for now, belongs to Xiao Honglu."
"I think you know better than I why they turned out this way."
"As for why we don't let the main god repair them, it's quite simple."
"One of them doesn't want to be repaired, and the other cannot be repaired." (End of Chapter)
