Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 1439 735: Monarch Token

The 'System Panel' suspected to originate from a Deceit Dao blessing or scheme flickered violently once again, its data streams refreshing at an unprecedented speed.

That figure whose aura was obscure and impossible to discern had so many identities and titles appearing on the panel that it was downright horrifying!

Up until now, in Li Yelai's understanding, the historical figure with the most identities and titles...

Was none other than that Tang Taizong, Li Shimin of the Li Family, who had gathered in one body the countless exalted positions of Heavenly Strategy Admiral, King Qin, Upper Pillar Country, Grand Commandant, Minister, Minister, Secretary, and so on. The Li family's man...

Yet the number of names borne by the figure before his eyes easily surpassed a hundred!

Lines of packed characters almost filled his entire field of vision; Li Yelai could only focus his attention on the very end of the list to barely make out that single most important name.

Monarch Token...

Is that his, or her, name?

If this isn't some deliberate maze laid by the Deceit Dao, then these identities are way too absurd.

Li Yelai had thought that his own dual identity as both "Human Champion" and "Chaos Chosen (free-ride version)" was already fractured enough.

After all, who would imagine that the Human Champion would go Undercover in the Chaos Faction and actually mix his way up into becoming a Divine Chosen? And multiple Divine Chosen at that?

But this combination of titles for "Monarch Token" carried internal conflicts and contradictions that had reached an inconceivable level!

"Savior" and "World Destroyer"

"Heavenly Palace City Hero" and "Demon King"

"King of Ten Thousand Races" and "Tyrant"...

And among this long list of dizzying titles, what shocked Li Yelai the most was one particular name he was absolutely familiar with... Chaos Chosen One·Supreme!

This guy is that mysterious Chaos Chosen who was granted the name "Supreme" and then vanished without a trace for over a hundred years?

Also, Heavenly Palace City Hero... What is this Heavenly Palace City?

At present, among the twelve Human cities, there is simply no such city. Could it be some city in history that has been renamed or destroyed?

Li Yelai's brow furrowed tightly. Meanwhile, that figure marked as Monarch Token moved with ghostlike speed!

He flashed through the panicked, fleeing Night Demon crowd like a streak of light, ignoring all the chaos and wailing, heading straight and unerringly toward the rear. The city center where the Night Demon Miracle was located!

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and swung it down toward that Miracle which the Night Demons were desperately trying to relocate, yet whose edges had already begun to be corroded by the spreading Crimson Curse!

An extremely brutal force arose out of thin air, slamming down like an invisible giant palm!

That Miracle which carried the hope and power of the Night Demon Civilization exploded with a deafening roar, shattering into countless fragments!

In that instant, every Night Demon on the Battlefield, near or far, felt something in their hearts and let out a collective wail of soul-tearing grief! The destruction of the Miracle seemed to have utterly crushed their final spiritual support and the Flame of their civilization!

And within the ruins of the shattered Miracle, a vast tide of light points gushed forth like a breached flood, yet did not dissipate into heaven and earth. Instead, as though drawn by an invisible force, they madly converged around the Black Shadow that had caused the destruction, and were greedily devoured by him!

"What is that thing? What is he doing?" Li Yelai's speed did not slow in the slightest; still carrying the two of them, he rapidly closed in on that area.

"I don't know! But it looks... almost like he's directly absorbing the Power of Faith?" Xia Ming's voice was filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

As a scholar who had delved into Miracle technology for many years, he understood even better than Li Yelai what this scene signified!

Miracles indeed can condense and store faith, but once the Miracle itself is shattered, the faith condensed within becomes like water without a source, rapidly dispersing into the world and utterly impossible to preserve! Even if the Miracle could be repaired later, it would require a long age of nurturing from scratch.

And faith itself is an illusory, collective Desire Power, formless and intangible, so difficult to even observe, let alone be captured and transferred in such a concretized way!

Thus, when Xia Ming saw with his own eyes that Black Shadow devouring those halos that should have scattered, like a vortex, the shock on his face could hardly be concealed! This completely overturned his understanding of Miracles and faith!

"Has Heavenly Palace City ever existed?" Li Yelai asked again.

"What is that, a Human city?" Xia Ming frowned instinctively, his mind sweeping through the entirety of history in an instant; whether Alien Race Civilization or Human Civilization, it seemed there had never been a city called Heavenly Palace City.

"Then what about King of Ten Thousand Races?" Li Yelai pressed on.

"Ten Thousand Races? Humans are just one race..." Xia Ming paused. "Unless all the races in this world were unified and submitted to a single person, otherwise who could be called King of Ten Thousand Races?"

Indeed, with only a single race, how could one be called King of Ten Thousand Races...

"Damn it, this world has way too many secrets! Don't tell me there's also some materialized timeline?" Li Yelai accelerated once more.

....

On the other side, as the Miracle completely crumbled, a roar mixed with ultimate fury and despair erupted from the depths of the Night Demon City like the death-cry of a giant beast, blasting into the sky!

"Die for me!"

It was the only remaining Great Divine Power User within the Night Demon City! The instant he sensed that the Miracle symbolizing the foundation of their civilization had been destroyed, he went completely mad!

Too late... everything is too late.

On the front line, the Night Demon King had suddenly lost contact, while at the rear the Crimson Curse that had been barely suppressed erupted wildly, and the Wanderer army that had been under control also began showing signs of losing control... At such a terrifying rate of spread of the curse, being able to safely relocate the Miracle had been a luxury to begin with.
