Chapter 1891 - 984: The Disappearance of Jindai Yunlo

Central Plains, 370 kilometers north of City 18, this place originally known as the Impact Plain, is named for the flooding of the Chunlei River.

In winter, ice layers form on the Chunlei River. By spring, the ice melts and breaks apart, with the river pushing ice shards to the riverbanks, making them glisten like fish scales.

At this moment, across the Impact Plain, an amber with a diameter of ten kilometers spans the land, freezing in time the Giant Whale, Yamata no Orochi, Mirage Tower, Drama Master, floating airships, and three Aerial Fortresses, turning everything into a war museum.

At the edge of the lake, the Duke of Storm silently stands, and the elderly King looks at the Drama Master by the lake’s edge and says, "This is my father, your grandfather, who slept for 38 years in the Golden Coffin just for today, sacrificing his life to forge a new throne for the Drama Master Clan. He did it, I did it, and in the future, you must do the same. Our Drama Master Clan has grown from the turmoil to this day, half relying on God’s perspective and half on generations willing to sacrifice themselves. This is what has given us a foothold in this world."

"Understood, Father," the Duke of Storm calmly replied, "I will do my utmost for the clan."

The elderly King Roosevelt caressed the edge of the amber: "Go now, take the Taboo Ant Queen and 200,000 Orcs Army to the destiny’s end I last saw, for that is the true final battlefield. The Kingdom is now yours, and the world will also be yours."

"Father, where are you going?" the Duke of Storm asked.

"Jian Menguan." King Roosevelt smiled back, "That is my destiny’s end, I must resolve this last hidden danger for you."

Unhesitantly, the Duke of Storm turned to leave, stepping onto the floating airship nearby, returning to his Storm Fortress.

Beneath the Aerial Fortress, countless ’Werewolves’ roared, their forms large, muscles strong, claws sharp.

These Orcs Army had completely lost their own thoughts, only obeying the Duke of Storm under the control of the Queen Ant.

Further north, the Storm City Army was driving hordes of slaves over, and along the way, soldiers selected the strongest males to inject the newly manufactured Genetic Potion.

They ignored the necessary intervals for the Genetic Potion, injecting it every two days, using auxiliary potions to turn all these people into beasts, utterly disregarding the harm from side effects.

Slaves who couldn’t withstand the effects and died were thrown directly to the Orcs Army, becoming their marching rations.

Everywhere the Orcs Army passed, corpses were strewn, resembling human Purgatory.

The Storm Fortress moved slowly through the sky, heading not south but directly towards the direction of the No. 001 Taboo Land, where destiny guided them.

...

In the Ginkgo Manor of City 5.

Li Su said gravely, "In this battle, only 17 Li Family members survived. Jinguji Maki’s Hyakki Night Trip was also sealed by that strange Taboo. We’ve paid such a heavy price; if the outcome isn’t good, what was the point of this battle?"

"Is this the result you wanted?" Li Changqing looked at Zero: "Li Family can sacrifice for this war, but I need to know if the result after the sacrifice is what we hoped for."

"What if it’s not what you expected?" Zero smiled and retorted: "Now no one can see the end of fate, the world line has been stripped away. The Master of Li Family, Li Yunshou, didn’t know if his decisions were good or bad, nor if his decisions would contribute to victory, but it was his final attempt."

Zero shifted the topic: "When I came from the West Continent to the Eastern Continent, I first went to City 10. I heard people talking about the terror of the Rat Tide... In fact, I also experienced a similar biological contamination, which you call the Climbing Tiger Disaster."

Everyone exchanged confused glances, unsure of Zero’s identity, as most only knew she was a robot from the West Continent, not expecting her background to be so extensive!

The Climbing Tiger Disaster occurred in Ren Xiaosu’s era, the first true biological contamination in the history of Transcendents. At that time, a whole fortress on the wasteland was engulfed by Climbing Tigers, massacring the entire city’s population using human blood for sustenance.

So, could this Zero... actually be the artificial intelligence that once destroyed the Second Age of the Eastern Continent?

But wasn’t she said to be eliminated in that decisive battle?

Zero continued as if there was no one around: "When that disaster initially occurred, if humans could have united to burn half a city, they might have survived. But no one organized, no one was willing to sacrifice, no one stepped forward, ultimately leading to the city’s downfall. This Rat Tide was different, more fierce, yet 6 million survived. Now I ask you, during that disaster, did the Kunlun members like Iodophor and those in the Parents’ Meeting ever think, ’we do this because we were certain to win’?"

Li Su was stunned.

Zero shook her head and said, "No, they didn’t know if they could win, but they still did what they needed to do. When you start foreseeing the future, you lose many things, such as your courage, bravery, and confidence. You don’t know your future, yet you beg for someone to give you an answer, for example, wanting to know, ’Can we win?’ or ’Can we survive?’, craving definitive answers. But I will clearly tell you, this time there is no answer to fate."
