Chapter 1042: Chapter 923: Do Your Best, Leave the Rest to Fate! (Part 1)
The war has ended, and everything has returned to its previous order…
Yan convened another expanded meeting at the headquarters of the War God Alliance, attended in droves by the leaders of the Six Major Alliances. The contributions of Yan and Chu Xuanji in this war were widely recognized, establishing their leadership positions; hence, the others naturally attended the meeting with due respect.
During the meeting, Yan emphasized the issue of progress in building the base cities, urging the leaders of the Six Major Alliances to prioritize this matter above all others. Everything else could be postponed or even put on hold, but the construction of the base cities must be expedited, ensuring quality along the way.
At the same time, for the parts that have been completed, efforts must be hastened to properly accommodate and transfer the refugees, ensuring that every refugee has a place to live, clothes to wear, and food to eat.
Refugees are always the root cause of riots. If not handled properly, various issues can easily erupt, with riots being the most common.
These refugees have no homes, no sources of income, no food or money. When they can no longer survive, they are bound to bring disaster to this society.
The leaders of the Six Major Alliances are also well aware of this, as history has provided countless lessons and experiences, and they all solemnly promised to handle these issues properly.
After the meeting, the leaders of the Six Major Alliances hurried back to their respective jurisdictions to expedite the construction of the base cities according to Yan’s requests and to accommodate the refugees, settling many of them in the now-completed sections.
These matters are not overnight achievements; although the leaders have prioritized these on their agendas, progress remains slow.
However, compared to before, the speed has indeed improved. After all, the main reason humans suffered such heavy casualties in this war was the failure to evacuate people to the base cities.
…
dong hai!
Ao Xiang Villa.
Lv Zhan, Ye Hei, Wu Zi, and Xiao Selang arrived here.
They came specifically to bid farewell to Ye Fan!
The war is over, and they feel a profound crisis. If future wars erupt, they will be even more brutal, so they urgently need to increase their strength.
At noon, Ye Fan arranged a feast to bid farewell to Lv Zhan and the others. Su Jindi somehow got word and came over as a guest, drinking and chatting with Lv Zhan and the others.
“Ye Zi, this war has impacted us greatly. I’m increasingly realizing that strength is the most important thing; without it, you can’t accomplish anything. After our parting this time, I will immediately go home to retreat and prepare to break through to the High-level War God Realm.”
Lv Zhan took a sip of wine and said to Ye Fan. He was genuinely moved, having not witnessed Ye Fan’s battle where he slew a Top-level War God-level Mutant Beast, but he learned about it from his grandfather Lv Yuan and felt quite emotional.
“Hmm.”
Ye Fan nodded. He wasn’t at all surprised by Lv Zhan’s decision. Despite Lv Zhan’s usual carefree demeanor, he indeed had the heart of a strong person.
Lv Zhan saw himself being surpassed by Ye Fan and was determined to quickly break through to the High-level War God Realm, fearing he would fall too far behind. Otherwise, he might not even qualify to fight alongside Ye Fan in the future.
Ye Hei and Wu Zi both also informed Ye Fan that they would return to retreat. The mutant beast riots could break out at any time, and they needed to improve their strength quickly to kill more mutant beasts in future battles.
They did not utter any grand speeches, just simply said that for the peace and safety of humankind, they were willing to die in battle if necessary!
Xiao Selang was moved by the atmosphere and also declared that he would retreat immediately, not leaving seclusion until reaching the High-level War God Realm.
Xiao Selang’s talent is actually not inferior to anyone, but he used to be arrogant and not diligent in cultivation. The Tian Shan Sword Sect has many Absolute Techniques, most of which even Cang Bo hadn’t mastered entirely.
If Xiao Selang worked hard, he might really be able to carry forward the Tian Shan Sword Sect.
“I also want to retreat and strive for the Early-Stage War God Realm!”
Inspired by the atmosphere, Su Jindi also made a bold declaration to go into retreat.
Before finishing his words, Su Liuli interrupted him with a knock on the forehead, saying unceremoniously, “You little brat, you’ve been cultivating for not even a few days, why are you thinking about retreat? Study well; in the future, when you graduate, our Su Family will rely on you to take the helm!”
“You… Su Liuli, don’t go too far. I admit I’m not your match, but I’m a man, with my dignity. I’m warning you, don’t hit my forehead again. It’s making me stupid.”
Su Jindi was unhappy; was he unable to retreat just because he lacked strength? Besides, was there anything wrong with his talent? He felt quite good about himself!
Upon hearing Su Jindi’s words, Ye Fan couldn’t help but turn his face away, unable to watch what was about to happen.
Lv Zhan, Ye Hei, and the others were not as sympathetic, each looking at Su Jindi with a smirk as if anticipating trouble.
Su Jindi was quite clever himself and realized the situation was bad when he saw their expressions and Ye Fan turning away. He rose to leave, but before he could take a step, Su Liuli’s finger moved.
With a flick of her finger, a beam hit Su Jindi, making him stand immobile as if struck by an immobilization technique.
This is an ancient acupoint technique, Su Liuli inherited it from Bodhi Wu Yin, one of the ten great masters. She is naturally adept at acupoint techniques and quickly immobilized Su Jindi.
“I’m going to knock on you, so what? I’ll knock, I’ll knock again, I’ll keep knocking, I’ll knock arrogantly, what can you do to me?”
Su Liuli and Su Jindi have always been at odds; whenever they meet, they can’t help but bicker with each other.
Today, Su Liuli noticed that Ye Fan was no longer as dispirited as he had been recently and reverted to her previous spirited self, starting to mess with Su Jindi.
Su Jindi was knocked until he cried out, his eyes brimming with tears. At first, he was very stubborn, resolutely refusing to admit defeat, but eventually, he had to lower his noble head and apologize to Su Liuli.
“Sister Liuli, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, isn’t that enough? Please have mercy, don’t lower yourself to my level, stop knocking, or I’ll really be knocked silly by you…”
“That’s more like it. In the future, don’t flaunt yourself in front of me. With your current state, even if you cultivate for another ten years, you won’t be my match. A wise man knows when to submit.”
Su Liuli was very pleased. In past arguments, they would be evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand, but now, Su Jindi could only be bullied by her.
Hearing this, Su Jindi was on the verge of tears, and everyone couldn’t help but laugh, resulting in an unusually relaxed atmosphere.
However)
All good things must come to an end. This meal, starting from eleven in the morning, lasted until three in the afternoon, during which everyone chatted a lot.
Everyone knew that after this parting, it was uncertain when they would meet again, and possibly when they meet again, the war with the mutant beasts will have begun. It was rare for everyone to have such a mood.
After the meal, Lv Yuan and Ye Hei, among others, bid farewell to Ye Fan and returned to their clans to enter closed cultivation.
Su Liuli and Chu Ji also opted for closed cultivation. Last time Chu Ji didn’t come, but this time, because everyone gathered, she rushed over since these people are comrades who have shared life and death in the same trench.
After everyone went into closed cultivation, Ye Fan went to the yard, sat down on a long bench, and before he stabilized, a blue shadow leaped beside him like a gust of wind, with a giant paw resting on his shoulder.
Ye Fan burst into laughter, having not seen Little Wolf for a long time. This guy had recently eaten something good and had grown as big as a young calf, with a slick, shiny coat, perfect for making fur.
“Little Wolf, I don’t have time to play with you; go play by yourself, I need some peace!”
Ye Fan played with Little Wolf for a while, patting its large head, then sat cross-legged on the long bench in the yard and slowly closed his eyes.
“Woo woo…”
Little Wolf whimpered twice, unwilling to leave, but knowing that Ye Fan couldn’t be disturbed at the moment, it crouched at his feet and silently watched him.
Ye Fan calmed his mind, and his consciousness soon immersed in the sea of consciousness, where he saw the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown floating within it.
Elder Xuan was sleeping in this Mysterious Crown, and Ye Fan began to softly call Elder Xuan’s name, trying to wake him up.
Because the channel between the Xuan Realm and Earth had been opened, cultivators and mutant beasts from the Xuan Realm could come over at any time. Ye Fan wanted to ask Elder Xuan if there was a way to reseal the channel to prevent the Xuan Realm’s mutant beasts from invading Earth.
In Ye Fan’s sea of consciousness, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown floated and sank, filled with a majestic aura, continuously nourishing his consciousness.
Ye Fan kept calling out, but there was still no response. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was just an unconscious, lifeless object and naturally wouldn’t respond to him. Before falling asleep, Elder Xuan had already mentioned that he might be asleep for a long time this time.
Ye Fan tried calling for a full hour but was still unable to awaken Elder Xuan.
Finally, Ye Fan realized that it was impossible to awaken Elder Xuan in a short time, and seeking Elder Xuan’s help to seal the channel was not feasible.
Unable to change the situation, Ye Fan could only give up calling Elder Xuan, feeling somewhat indebted to him. After all, he had repeatedly helped him through life and death crises, while he had not been able to provide him with any help, always asking for more.
“If the cultivators and mutant beasts from the Xuan Realm are really as powerful as Elder Xuan said, how will Earth resist? Is Earth destined to be destroyed?”
Ye Fan sighed quietly, asking himself in his heart.
No answer came.
Ye Fan stood up and headed for the secluded chamber where he had been cultivating, preparing to resume his closed cultivation.
In his view, since he couldn’t rely on Elder Xuan to block the channel, he could only deal with situations as they come and must enhance his own strength to eventually fight to the death!
To quote Ye Wenhao: “Do your best, let fate take its course!”
