Star Gate

“Skyward and Calamity are about to return,” Long Zhan growled. “Is there a need to be this way right now, Hao Moon?”

Li Hao wanted chaos beast powerhouses to return to their worlds, so the latter wouldn’t seize a portion of the now master-less seventh rank worlds. He used the excuse of preventing those worlds from being devoured in error to compel the chaos beasts. Clearly, he didn’t want anyone else to share the spoils.

This was too much!

“How much of a price have I paid for today’s accomplishments?” the young man laughed softly. “Senior Long Zhan, do you know that my power of time has almost been completely expended?”

Li Hao’s laugh turned dark and sinister. “Taking a few worlds to recover from such a hefty toll is only right and proper. Why does the senior wish to protest against me?

“It’s the senior who put me in these straits. In that case... have a taste of what I’m going through!”

Long Zhan didn’t know what to say!

“In addition, the senior still owes me a replica and ten billion dao crystals!” Li Hao continued. “I’m taking all of the seventh ranks that your people killed! I’ll treat it as paying off the senior’s debts...”

Feng Yan and the rest of the chaos beasts stirred with outrage!

That would mean they’d gained nothing from their hard fought victory! Not only that, but the worlds around them were gone as well. Li Hao had also taken advantage of their efforts to kill the death envoy!

They were the ones who’d fought with the life and death envoys the entire time and had been on the verge of killing their opponents! Li Hao had benefited wholesale from their hard work!

“You’re out of line, Li Hao!” raged Feng Yan.

“Let’s retreat, Senior Human King!” Li Hao looked at Fang Ping with a smile. “We can leave this place for Senior Long Zhan to handle. The two ninth ranks can be his battle spoils. We won’t take that from him!

“We can go anywhere we wish in this vast chaos! The two of us only have one world each and just a few people, at the end of the day. We can go anytime and wander through the universe...”

The Human King hugged his arms to himself and smiled as he recovered from battle. “I’d wanted to see what the ninth ranks are like... But we’re the family here, so let’s do it your way...”

The look in Long Zhan’s eyes shifted. He wouldn’t be concerned if there was only one ninth rank replica, but two...

And these two guys were also fishing in troubled waters!

It was only now that the dragon once more realized that they were actually enemies!

Li Hao!

The young man was truly heartless!

It wasn’t enough that he’d taken all of the Thunder Region powerhouses and killed the death envoy. Now he was going to seize those seventh rank worlds and take all of the seventh ranks that the chaos beasts had killed...

And on the Human King side, they’d claimed the bodies and dao origin of the yin, yang, light, and dark envoys. The seventh ranks that they’d killed were also theirs.

And now they were dividing up the seven rank worlds.

After all this...

It was New Martial and Silver Moon that benefited heavily from the battle. The chaos race that ended up with nothing.

It was also Li Hao’s first time divvying up the loot in the battlefield, as well as his first time asking for something or outright taking it. Humility and generosity were nowhere to be found now as he didn’t give anything to the chaos beasts. He took almost all of their harvest from them!

There was no reason other than the chaos beasts were the enemy!

Long Zhan was an overlord with ambition, tolerance, and drive to realize his goals. But the enemy was the enemy. Their cooperation now didn’t mean that they would continue to work together in the future!

How would Li Hao give Long Zhan a chance to strengthen himself and his people??

Long Zhan clearly had some confidence in handling one ninth rank. What, was Li Hao going to wait around and chat after the battle?

No! He would give him a kick in the ass now!

The dragon wouldn’t raise up a fuss in return, given the circumstances.

As expected, Long Zhan took a deep breath. “Alright, you can have them! Then that cancels out the debt that I owe you!”

“Sure!” Li Hao grinned. “It might not be enough since it’s just a few seventh ranks, but it’ll do. I’m not someone who haggles over every ounce.”

Long Zhan didn’t make a sound. The expression on his face was most unpleasant. Li Hao... was beginning to be tough to get rid of. If the young man could easily take out the ninth rank replicas, it might be time to consider how to eliminate Li Hao.

Of course, Long Zhan might not have a chance to handle Li Hao at the moment, since he still needed the young man to counteract some powerhouses. He really was helping an enemy to grow strong!

And yet, there was no helping it.

It was a group of ninth ranks on one side and a Li Hao who could not yet threaten him with death on the other. Even though Long Zhan knew about Li Hao’s immense potential, the dragon could only grin and bear it!

The Human King chucked the light envoy’s dao origin to the Light master and Flare Sun. He tossed the dark envoy’s power to Li Zhu.

“How much longer?” he asked as he looked at the void.

“It’ll be very soon!” Something seemed to appear in Li Hao’s eyes. “Three minutes at most... he still needs to gather some energy. This is already fast enough.”

The young man then glanced at Thunder Region. It should be the same estimate with Calamity as well. That was enough time to clean up the battlefield.

That works!

The Human King inclined his head with a smile and looked at Li Hao. “Then we have some time. Let me ask you something—what was that?”

“Someone from the future.”

“I know that, but... there was something special about him. He seems to have something to do with our old man Sun...”

The Sun God shifted awkwardly. Who are you talking about like that?

Li Hao nodded and looked at the Sun God with some surprise. “Who would’ve thought!”

The Sun God might’ve once received pointers from that person from the future. The world near New Martial had likely been a world from the future. That person had probably once reversed time to enter this era, but not now.

If it was the Su Yu they saw now, he would already be aware of his actions. Since he wasn’t aware, then he probably did it sometime later on.

That was probably when the Sun God learned the art of supernatural characters. Since there hadn’t been enough spirit in this era, his characters appeared relatively weaker and a bit muddled. However, they were real supernatural characters!

And then Li Hao himself had learned the art from Tranquil Star on Silver Moon. What an interesting loop of events!

The young man didn’t ask or say anything. Some questions were meaningless. The Sun God might not answer, and nothing would change if he did.

The Sun God did indeed remain quiet at this moment. His memories were a bit hazy... and he looked at Li Hao with an odd look. The young man had summoned Emperor Yu. Clearly, their relationship went deep!

Emperor Yu was from the future and half a master to the Sun God!

That was right, half a master.

In that age, New Martial had been newly established and those such as the Sun God, Heavenly Emperor, and Earth Emperor had been getting the lay of the land. The Heavenly Emperor had received the favor of the world seed. That was the world’s consciousness.

Something such as the heavenly will knew all, and yet the Heavenly Emperor was weaker than the Sun God. Why was that?

Because the Sun God benefited from his own fortuitous occurrence!

He’d loved to run around and wander through the world. Eventually, he had some opportunities that outsiders were unaware of. That was how later events developed and he grew into a Sun God that was even stronger than the Heavenly Emperor at his peak!

He’d always been puzzled at where that mysterious teacher had come from and where’d he’d gone. So when New Martial emerged in the chaos, he immediately set off in search. But he hadn’t found anything, not even in the world that housed the Sword Sovereign. There was no sign of that person to be found!

And today, he learned the truth!

That person was from the future!

And he also learned that the old geezer the person spoke of might be Li Hao in front of him. How ludicrous.

In the Sun God’s eyes, Li Hao was a young fellow. Yet in Emperor Yu’s eyes, Li Hao was an old geezer. And in Emperor Su’s eyes, the Sun God... might be the young fellow...

This was such a mess!

Hence, the Sun God looked at Li Hao with a complicated gaze and didn’t say anything. So the old geezer who refused to die... was talking about this one! Ai! What am I supposed to make of all this?

The river of time had appeared and his three bodies had become one... His past and future had come out of Li Hao’s river. How ludicrous. His path to the top had started from Li Hao!

The same thoughts had occurred to the Human King as well, but he didn’t ask anything since he didn’t care about this. He laughed as he considered the four corners, “What should we do in a bit? I don’t think Ole Long will have an issue going against one ninth rank, so... should us two go against the other?”

“Skyward should not be someone to piss off, even if he’s just here in replica form!” Li Hao shook his head. “He was the foremost powerhouse back in the day, is his replica that easy to take care of? Senior Long Zhan will have his ways. Perhaps the spirit of the chaos can charge the replicas...”

Long Zhan frowned!

“But I think it’ll be difficult!” Li Hao continued. “Not to mention, Skyward major world still stands and is very strong. This will be tough for us to get out in one piece. So I think it’s better for New Martial to partner with them and I’ll take care of Calamity!”

“Can you do that?” The Human King glanced at him. You’ve got five thousand daos and time is about to be fully consumed. Are you sure you can handle it?

There’s only a few eighth ranks on our side. Even if they devour the worlds, it won’t have an effect that quickly. They won’t spontaneously grow stronger. Even a group of people won’t be able to take down a ninth rank’s replica, will it?

We have plenty of powerhouses on our side. Long Zhan, myself, Ole Zhang, the Sun God... We’re all pretty strong. Even Old Zhang and the Sun God are nearing five thousand daos. Even if they’re a bit weaker than you, they aren’t by much. And on your side, you’re the strongest!

Even though Long Zhan was immensely irritated by Li Hao, he had to say, “There’s no need to do that. I can handle Skyward myself and you guys should take Calamity together! Otherwise... it’ll be a huge risk for us once you’re defeated!”

There was no need to be the hero! Everyone was well aware of how strong these people were. If that person from the future had outright descended in their time, then there might be a chance to handle the ninth rank. But clearly, Li Hao’s time could not support such a personage.

That person might have strength on par with Long Zhan.

“It’s fine, I have my own ideas in mind. Of course, the spoils go to whoever kills them! Even the replica of a ninth rank is quite something and immense fortune. Senior Human King, be careful of Senior Long Zhan turning on you...”

“That’d be nice.” The Human King smiled meaningfully. “But it shouldn’t get to that point. How would an overlord like Ole Long care about trifles like these?”

The three seemed convinced that they would win, that the two ninth ranks were just presenting themselves on a silver platter!

That made the rest of the group quite uneasy.

Those are ninth ranks we’re talking about! Don’t you guys need to make some preparations? Like a plan for everyone to gather together and then mob the ninth ranks? Or trap them? Or siege them somehow?

You guys should have a battle plan, no??

All you're talking about is how to divide the loot!

You talk like ninth ranks aren’t worth anything. Aren’t you being too confident?
