Netherworld Retrograde

This delighted the strong ones on the side of Black Origin City.

Secondly, what was discussed the most was the Golden Family of the Heavenly Kingdom, and... Moon Shadow, the Great Spiritual Ability User of the human Giant City.

The former was once thought to be a lie to salvage their honor, but now it's found to be true.

At that time, it was indeed the Human Champion who defeated them!

Previously, everyone outside thought they were just bragging to save face. As it turned out, they misunderstood them.

And Moon Shadow, the captain of the human No.3 Border City... currently the human powerhouse the two major Forbidden Zones most want to eliminate. The accumulated bounty on him has even made the Supreme a bit envious.

His mouth is too filthy, being able to drive several Forbidden Zone Dominators mad and hunting him down, probably he's the only one.

One could only say, those Dominators have poor mindsets. Jin Shan chuckled coldly to himself.

At this time, a strong individual with a Third Ring Seat spoke: "Mr. Jin Shan, what do you intend to say by presenting such a scene? Given your status, you probably wouldn't prove the strength and talent of the Ninth Champion, right? And even if the Ninth Champion is strong, they are now also in the Disaster Fog."

"Indeed." Jin Shan nodded: "None of that is important. What I actually want to ask about is the Flying Dragon ridden by the Champion. Although it is suspected to be a corpse, it is an Overlord level Flying Dragon!"

"A Flying Dragon can grow to an Overlord?" an elector wondered.

"Theoretically, as long as it keeps winning and devouring strong enemies, it is possible... but I've never heard of it." another Forbidden Zone creature responded: "Moreover, this Flying Dragon is a species we have never seen."

"The Doomsday Forest surely does not have such a Flying Dragon." An elector looked at Chu He: "Mr. Chu He, does the Lost Land where you are have such Flying Dragons?"

"If it's not in the menu I gave you, then it doesn't exist." Chu He calmly replied: "Jin Shan, why are you asking this?"

"This Flying Dragon appearing suddenly must indicate some kind of space-folding technology, and it's extremely advanced. Humans of today definitely have not mastered it." Jin Shan looked at everyone: "You should understand what I mean."

Many electors' expressions changed, space-folding technology... coincidentally, the ark has this technology!

As long as you obtain a Fourth Ring Seat within the ark, you can get an Ark Storage Space.

The size of this space is determined by the score during the challenge.

The higher the score, the larger the space.

"Are you suggesting the human Ninth Champion might be an Ark Chosen One? Possibly having been among us?" an elector frowned.

Many Forbidden Zone creatures felt a bit uneasy immediately, they certainly could freely comment on the Human Champion.

But if the Human Champion is really among them, it would be a bit too stimulating.

"Wake up, even if the Champion really is an Ark Chosen One, they have already entered the Disaster Fog. There's no way they're here." someone reminded.

"So, among the absent electors, there might be the Human Champion?" Many looked towards the empty seats.

In the Fourth Ring Seats, aside from Li Yelai, there were four empty seats.

The Third Ring Seats had two empty spots.

Is one of them the Champion?

Whose growth speed is similar to the Champion's?

Looking at those empty seats, many began to ponder.

"Those with the space-folding technology are not necessarily Ark Chosen Ones. The Immortal Palace, also known as the Heavenly Court, seems to have some methods of space-folding." another elector spoke: "Moreover, it could be a Summoning Item. No big deal."

"I just presented a hypothesis. Naturally, he and I are mortal enemies, and among everyone present, I guess there are also those who dislike the Human Champion." Jin Shan said.

"Simple, try calculating. Among the absent electors, who shares overlapping events with the Champion?" suggested an elector.

Some eyes turned to Li Yelai's position.

"Copper Face seems to have experienced Disaster Fog No. 71, and also went through the Immortal Palace Battlefield, plus they grew quickly. Could it be..."

This made Jing Lin's heart tighten: 'Oh damn, Old Li. Your horse armor is going to fall off!'

"Impossible. The Human Champion is the Night General." Someone replied: "I remember when Black Umbrella was alive, he had Copper Face investigate the Night General. Copper Face even brought back important information."

"Betraying oneself? The logic doesn't add up."

"Hmm." Jin Shan nodded: "And Copper Face also participated in the Fantasy Band incident. The identity doesn't match."

"However, rumors say the Ninth Champion has already advanced to Sixth Sense. The news comes from the Golden Family of the Heavenly Kingdom."

"Could it be that they are hiding their strength and are gradually elevating it?"

"Moreover, Copper Face was brought in by the Book Holder. Would the Book Holder send the Champion into the ark and then watch the Champion get killed? The logic doesn't make sense."

Listening to everyone's discussion, the Book Holder rarely smiled.

As the only one present who (believes he) knows Copper Face's identity, hearing them speculate wildly was indeed somewhat amusing.

Guessing the Chaos Chosen as the Champion is really interesting.

"Stop guessing. Copper Face is on the list, and the Champion isn't. And we will meet eventually." The Book Holder smiled: "Alright, everyone. Until next time."

His figure transformed into a white light and disappeared.

It must be said, the words of the Book Holder played a golden water for Li Yelai.

With what he said, the others wouldn't think in that direction anymore.

And the statement that they will meet eventually added to the thoughtful pause among many Ark Chosen Ones.

Swallowed by the Disaster Fog, yet they will meet again? Does that mean he's one of the fortunate survivors?

Or perhaps he's fearless of death and a Forbidden Zone creature? Or... a Chaos Chosen? But he doesn't seem like a Chaos Chosen, lacking that sense of arrogance...

The crowd dispersed from the ark, all in contemplation.

And after everyone had left, Jing Lin, Chu He, and Yun Yue, disguised as a rough man, returned to the ark.

They opened the secret space for further exchange of information.

"That was close. I thought Old Li's horse armor was about to be stripped off." Jing Lin said.

"The Book Holder provided him protection, which is a good thing." Chu He responded.

"Champion Yang Chen has safely arrived in Mountain City. Those who escorted him are also unscathed." Yun Yue reported: "Currently, waiting for that Supreme of the Path of Babbling to arrive. After all, with such status, it's a bit tricky to leave the stalemate zone quietly and sneak to Mountain City."

"Alright. I will inform the authorities." Jing Lin nodded: "Is there any other intelligence from inside the Disaster Fog? Did Old Li tell us anything?"

"Communicating with Taboo Items amid so many people around won't give us any secret intelligence. But the good news is, the third layer is stable, and the situation in the second layer is improving. He even fought the Emperor's Fall Horror Demon."

"They can even gather a mahjong table." Jing Lin joked. Together with Li Yelai's Heroic Spirit, four Li Yelai could play mahjong.

Yun Yue nodded: "In any case, it's currently a waiting game for the opportunity to counterattack."

"Really exciting, only within Disaster Fog No. 49 can such tactics be displayed." Chu He commented: "I really want to see the reaction of the Horror Demons' side when the legends appear at the same time."

"Judging by the timing, they should have already started... hunting down the Casting General."

....

Meanwhile, inside the Disaster Fog, in a factory at the back of the Orc defense line on the second layer's east side.

Intelligent AI·Forging General, was rushing to make Mechanical Titans for the Orcs.

The Casting General was now simultaneously controlling over a hundred Casting Mechas.

Like metal totems roughly welded together, the lower body comprised four reverse-jointed track limbs, a four-meter-tall mecha shell, with six hydraulically-driven mechanical arms extending from the back, each arm end modified into different casting tools.

Rotating gear milling cutters spewed sparks, liquid metal dripped from hissing welding guns, and massive power hammers constantly hammered metal, each strike causing the ground to tremble.

Under their forging, a massive mecha structure was taking shape.

This was a collaboration they reached with the Orcs, the Orcs provided their unique Beastman Technology, while the Forging General assisted in crafting 'waaaa'-worthy Orc Titans.

This excited it immensely, especially the 'waaaa' power that defies the laws of physics, further accelerating its crafting speed.

It certainly knew human tactics, using extremely sophisticated hacking techniques, they hacked into its mecha. In turn, attacking the Horror Demons, causing much grumbling from the Horror Demons' side towards it.

But this time, it would not lose again.

It was going to personally pilot the Beastman Titan!
