In a corner of the base, Pluto once again met Crimson Earth. Even though Crimson Earth was only a projected image, through the interactions, Pluto felt that they had become closer. It was as if the person who always appeared as a projection was really his brother.
"You are injured?" Pluto frowned and asked. He was shocked.
Crimson Earth nodded and said, "Yes. The enemy is becoming more cunning. Ever since we lost the solar system array, no matter where we hide, the enemy has found us. Furthermore, they had gotten quicker in finding us."
"In the beginning it was three months, then two months, and now one month. To be specific, we are forced to move every 4 weeks."
"Three months, two months, one month……" Pluto calculated in his heart. He said in shock, "With this speed, the enemy would soon find you in……"
Crimson Earth finished his words, "Yes. Very soon we will have nowhere to hide. But don’t worry, my brothers have faced so many challenges. We will be okay."
Pluto said, "You are only able to run now, without counterattacking. This is not sustainable."
Crimson Earth stared intently at Pluto and said, "I discussed this problem with Duo Sun yesterday. The conclusion is very unfortunate, for both us and Han."
Pluto was dazed for a moment and said, "What do you need Han to do?"
"Awaken his latent powers and enter the Dragon’s Valley as soon as possible." Crimson Earth said with a heavy voice.
Pluto was aghast. He pondered for a long time before he shook his head and said, "Give him some more time. I have never seen anyone improve themselves with Han’s speed and dedication."
"Did you know? If everything goes as planned, Han will achieve the third level of Soul Power today."
"This fast?!" Crimson Earth was stunned and said, "Han is a top level warlord…… If he activates the third level of soul power……then he would be……" .
"
"Yes." Pluto Kong said, "Isn’t that unbelievable? I also think that it is unbelievable. Soul Power is the strongest type of energy power. Han’s progress right now is like a kid skipping grades. He had not yet finished practicing the foundations but has already progressed to a higher energy level."
"Han had not achieved a super warlord but already has the power of an intermediate super warlord. His talent is insane."
"But Han always goes to the extreme. After each Soul Power training session, he would have injured himself multiple times. His desperate training causes even me pain when I see it."
Crimson Earth nodded slightly and let out a long sigh, "Let’s give Han a little more time then. He has already learned the method to cross the time barrier. After he crosses the time barrier, he would have the choice whether or not to enter Dragon’s Valley."
"If Han could acquire a top-level dragon, with the power of the dragon, we may still have hope……"
"You guys……" Pluto asked worriedly.
\r \r \r
"I’ve already said. We will be okay!" Crimson Earth emotionally said, "We have sworn to protect the last spore in the universe! We will give time for Han to grow. Don’t worry about our situation!"
Pluto could only nod after hearing Crimson Earth’s firm words.
"Ok, that’s our deal. I will immediately report this to Duo Sun and the others. Even though Han had ingested the seed of Dragon Spirit Grass earlier than we had planned, the effects of the seed would only last a year and that is the ultimate deadline for Han and us." Crimson Earth said in a low voice. ……
A person would always have a chance in life, to meet his or her soulmate, when you look at her, you know that she is here.
That was fate.
Han did not know that there was a catastrophe written in his fate. He thought that he had already passed the hardest part of this life when Earth was in danger of being engulfed. He did not know that the end of crisis of Earth was only a beginning.
Faced with Han who was covered with cuts and bruises, Jie had a mental breakdown. He transformed into his human form, kneeled in front of Han and pleaded him.
"I beg you! Stop risking your life like this! No one expects you to level up! No one! You can fully slow down your training and progress steadily. Why do you injure yourself like this?" Jie said towards Han.
"You don’t understand." Han lit his cigarette, smiled and said, "People like me want to grab all opportunities. If we do something, we will give it our all. If I don’t give my all now, I might not have the life to do it later."
"Now even Lu Shui Qiu Lin is by my side. You think it is a good thing? It’s not that simple. If I am not wrong, Jacquet will soon find us and who will fight the number one warrior of the East Region?"
"Do we depend on Sima Hunfeng? Lu Shui Qiu Lin? 9527? Wai Late Dao? Or Pluto?"
"They are all my good friends. Of course, they are dependable. But I am a man and I cannot push this responsibility onto others. Naturally, we need to face him together."
Han’s words seemed to make sense. But Jie could not hold back the urge to cry. For one, Han’s courageous spirit truly touched him. Furthermore, Jie had a natural affinity for Han because Han had the seed of Dragon Spirit Grass.
"Don’t move!" Jie stopped Han from climbing up. He said with a heavy voice, "Now that you have the seed of Dragon Spirit Grass, you can absorb my energy to a greater extent. Let me help you."
"You are such a child who always makes me worried."
Han smiled slightly. He stopped moving. To level up to the third level of Soul Power, Han had tried his best and had once again suffered soul injury.
"Thank you." Han closed his eyes and said with a smile. ……
When Han left the Golden Tome, his entire body was relaxed and comfortable. The power of the Dragon Spirit Grass was truly amazing. It not only brought Jie and Han closer, Han could also absorb energy more easily from Jie.
Han did not know if Jie was alright after he used so much of his power to support him. There was no energy reserve in the entire Golden Tome. The Golden Tome was supported by Jie entirely.
There was no time to worry about that because there were more serious things that await Han. 9527 had told Han that he needed to see him once he left the Golden tome.
When Han walked into the commanding room, Lu Shui Qiu Lin was already there. Han was unperturbed but Lu Shui Qiu Lin felt awkward. Unlike 9527, he was forcibly brought to the base because of the complicated relationship between Han and Jian Jia.
From Lu Shui Qiu Lin’s observations, Han seemed to only view Jian Jia as his sister. He seemed to care more about another girl called Ye Wei Wei. Lu Shui Qiu Lin did not expect this situation.
He previously thought that Han was pestering Jian Jia, but he was wrong. It was apparent Jian Jia had more feelings for Han.
"Master!" Yuan Yuan ran excitedly towards Han.
Han jokingly said, "Did 9527 take good care of you? If you don’t want to work anymore, come back to my side."
Yuan Yuan was loaned to 9527 by Han. But 9527 liked Yuan Yuan too much. This high intelligence robot had helped 9527 tremendously. 9527 could not leave Yuan Yuan now.
Han thought that 9527 was here to ask for Yuan Yuan to stay with him, but surprisingly, 9527 nodded and said, "Yes. I want you to bring Yuan Yuan with you this time, he might be able to help you."
Han was shocked, he carried Yuan Yuan into his arms, "You said it. You can’t go back on your words now. From now on, Yuan Yuan will be back by my side."
"From now on……"9527 became anxious, and hurriedly said, "I am referring to this time only. After this time, Yuan Yuan still needs to help me. I can’t be without him."
Han twitched his lips and said, "Long Chuan has gathered a lot of logic chips. Since you could protect Long Chuan from afar, you must be able to get another few logic chips. Why don’t you make your own robots instead of occupying my Yuan Yuan."
"You don’t understand." 9527 waved his hand, "I am used to Yuan Yuan’s presence. It would be a trouble to change to another robot."
Han knew that 9527 would not let Yuan Yuan go. He sighed and reluctantly said, "Never mind. I know you can’t bear to part with Yuan Yuan. Let’s talk business."
9527 nodded and a huge rock was lifted off his chest. He quickly grabbed Yuan Yuan from Han’s chest and said, "I have decoded the object that Jin Dragon Gate gave you. It is a method to pierce through the Wall of Sorrow. It’s all credited to Lu Shui Qiu Lin. He was the one to decode it so I will let him explain."
Lu Shui Qiu Lin modestly said, "It was luck. At the All Gods Corporation, I had many duties, so I knew slightly more things."
"To put it simply, this code belongs to the Golden Family. When they left the East region, they hid the secret of how to pierce the Wall of Sorrow at a few secret locations. After all, not the entire Clan left. Part of the Clan stayed here."
"After using the decoder to hack the disc, we obtained the names of a few locations. Unfortunately, the disc only had the name, not the coordinates of the location. After all, it was prepared for their clansmen. If their clansmen were to open the disc, they would know the location."
"We only know of one precise location at this time."
"Where?" Han curiously asked.
"The Golden Tower." Lu Shui Qiu Lin said in a heavy voice, "There is a strong monster on the top level of the tower. The Golden Clan designed it such that whoever could kill the monster would become an elite member of the Clan. They would be able to obtain the Blood Time Ring and find the main forces of the Golden Clan in the West. Therefore, they left one of the Blood Time Ring on the top level of the tower."
"That’s right." 9527 said, "You and Black Egg both have contracts with the monster and have to face it sooner or later. If you win, we will obtain the Blood Time Ring, and can then move to the mysterious West region."
Lu Shui Qiu Lin frowned and said, "Your speed needs to be fast. I have received information that Jacquet is furious. He has sentenced Kabri to the death prison and swore to destroy all of us."
9527’s expression was grave, "I have already used the Space Law to change the entrance. But if Jacquet uses all his might to find us, we would not be hidden for long."
"According to the rules of the Golden Tower, only the person with the key can enter level nine. That is only you and Black Egg. Other than that, Silver Fox, Blue Star and Xiao Bao would not be able to enter even if they hid in your dimension ring."
"This time, you can only enter with Black Egg and Yuan Yuan whose life cannot be detected."
Chapter 452: Destination - The Ninth Floor of Grand Golden Tower
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
In the practice room, Han was soaked with sweat.
Pathless was the power of lawlessness, the power to defy and destroy all rules!
Han’s skills were getting better through practice. He could gather more and more inner fury and rage which let him set off rounds of fierce attacks. The practice room was constantly shaking like a volcano was erupting vigorously.
Black Egg was watching all of this with his calm eyes. His proud nature made him despise all the other lives except his own. Even Han when was practicing and using Pathless, Black Egg still felt that Han’s power was really poor compared with his own. Han was not worthy to be his master.
Anyway, it was only a three-year contract. After three years, Black Egg would certainly leave. Imagine when birds fly in the broad, limitless sky, fish swim in the wide and deep ocean, how free and comfortable he would be.
Of course, Black Egg felt that he would occasionally come back to visit Han. Although Han was not qualified to be his master, he was one of the few humans that Black Egg appreciated.
Being weak was not Han’s fault, and he was willing to try his best effort every time and was good to Black Egg. So, if Han encountered some problems, Black Egg did not rule out the possibility of helping Han if he had time.
What’s the difference between a top life and a normal life?
That was the pursuit of the top lives. They must fight for higher and farther goals for their entire life.
And pursuit also meant that you needed to learn to give up sometimes.
Taking Black Egg as an example, it was very comfortable staying around Han. But how could this help him reach the highest point he wanted to stand on?
So although it was not the time to break up with Han yet, Black Egg had already made up his mind to leave Han in the future. And of course, he would come back to visit Han occasionally.
Han finished a round of practice. Breathing heavily, he sat on the floor, picked up a bottle of soda with electrolytes and supplements and drank like a cow.
"Something is still missing. My Pathless is not violent enough. What is wrong?" Holding his chin with his hands, Han began thinking. This was his strength, he loved to use his brain and his expectations for his improvements was large.
Ah ~
Black Egg sighed hopelessly, flapped his fat wings and flew to Han. He motioned Han to get up and fight with him.
Since acquiring the energy from the two monsters on the eighth floor of the Grand Golden Tower, Black Egg had changed a lot. The scales had grown out on his back, his stature was slightly thinner, but his spirit was far stronger than before.
In Han’s eyes, of course, Black Egg was still that little fat guy, as cute as before.
"Do you want to help me understand Pathless?" Han asked Black Egg curiously.
Black egg shook his head disdainfully and continued to gesture.
"Oh, I see, you want me to practice with you. To practice synergizing with your attack, do not drag your legs behind." Han finally understood Black Egg and said with a bitter smile.
(Yes, yes.)
\r \r \r
Black Egg nodded repeatedly, with pride and satisfaction in his eyes.
Han was very helpless. He never heard of an owner that needed to cooperate with his pet. Silver Fox’s fighting power was not lower than Black Egg’s at all. He would never have this kind of idea, he continued to work for Han obediently without any complaints.
Fine, cooperate with him. There was not so much more he could do. Because Han could not beat Black Egg.
In the past Han was not the opponent of Black Egg. He was always beaten black and blue all over by this little fat guy. Now after Black Egg underwent a rebirth-like level up, it was even more impossible for Han to beat him. Most possibly, there was nobody in the base that could be Black Egg’s match anymore. He did have the qualification to be proud.
In the blink of an eye, one man and one beast started practicing together. Black Egg mainly attacked, and Han cooperated to assist and support him.
If Han did not do well enough, Black Egg would glare at him and gesture at him to do it again.
After all, Han had a high IQ and was very smart. He understood Black Egg’s tactics very quickly. He wanted Han to attract the attention of the opponent with the Flying Feather bow, and he would be in charge of the real close hand-to-hand combat.
It was better for Han to not be too close to the fighting area, in case he was accidentally injured by Black Egg. Presumably, he would use the Soul Kill skill to destroy the spirit of opponents. Their bodies would become Black Egg’s meals to replenish his energy.
When Han and Black Egg did their final preparation, Yuchi Dao had been observing outside with other people. Finding out the final tactics they made, Dao couldn’t help shaking his head with worries.
"What. Don’t you believe in the strength of Black Egg?" Qiu Lin asked curiously. Because of his granddaughter Jian Jia, he was also very concerned about Han.
Dao shook his head, "I believe Black Egg’s strength is very strong, I just do not trust his intelligence. Although he could win fights against Han, he does not have Han’s wisdom. That wisdom allows Han to improvise."
"And that is a valuable characteristic that Han has. He can be tough when he needs to be tough. When he needs to adapt, Han would show his cunning side."
"And Black Egg, he had once refused to leave his egg because of a fight with Han, and refused to come out no matter how. Clearly, he is still childish. He is neither as wise nor as mature as Han."
"Besides, Black Egg never had any setback in this life, so he is defiant and arrogant. Han grew up in an adverse environment, he has the tenacity that other people don’t have."
"These two characters will react differently if they were to lose. If Black Egg loses in a fight, he would melt down completely. But if Han loses, I bet that he would eat and sleep as usual the next day. He will not feel any psychological burden."
Qiu Lin was startled, "I did not realize that you were analyzing their fighting at that level. It’s true that Black Egg is far from Han regarding wisdom and spiritual strength. Do you think Black Egg might have the possibility of losing this time?"
"I don’t really think so." Dao shrugged his shoulders and said," I believe Black Egg can defeat Three-Eyed White Ghost. After all, his strength is stronger than we imagined. The stronger his opponent is, the better Black Egg fights. I have seen this."
"Besides, even 9527 did not say anything; I feel he must have made some preparation to make Yuan Yuan follow Han. 9527 had always been so cautious, he wouldn’t be so bold to allow Han and Black Egg face Three-Eyed White Ghost without any precautions."
In a blink of an eye, one month had passed.
During this period of time, the Cursed Land had been extremely uneasy. Jacquet had become crazy, he stationed troops in the area, unsettling the tribes.
Because Wolf Fang had already been the titular leader of the Cursed Land, 9527 had to spend a lot of time placing space-jumping doors among the tribes. So, when the All Gods Corporation found them, the tribes could move to a safe place as quickly as possible.
Even after these preparations, there were still three tribes that were found and destroyed by the All Gods Corporation.
Jacquet was so vicious that he commanded the slaughter of all the tribes, men and women, and even the unborn babies. And then they hung their bodies.
Tribal residents were relatively backward and savage; it often happened that defeated tribes were slaughtered. They appeared to be relatively indifferent in the face of death and fate. It was Han and his group that had been angered.
If 9527 and other people didn’t repeatedly stress to take the larger situation into account, the group would have already gone out for blood.
In this extremely worrisome situation, Han and Black Egg were officially ready to embark on the ninth floor of the Grand Golden Tower and fight against the legendary Three-Eyed White Ghost.
There were more than 500 people in Wolf Fang’s organization. Everyone knew they couldn’t stay in the Eastern Dark Net anymore; they had to leave. They needed to restructure their strength in the west until they had enough strength, then they would come back to fight with the All Gods Corporation and Jacquet again.
So, with everyone’s hope, Han felt a lot of pressure.
No one ever thought Han might lose because they had Black Egg. This guy was simply invincible when he fought seriously. Even the strongest people in the base put together could not be his opponent.
Han was also there, in addition to Black Egg. His ranking was at the forefront of the warriors in the base. Although he wasn’t at the level of super warlords, he did have the pure destructive power of super warlords.
"Take it easy and go. If you fail, we would destroy the Grand Golden Tower to get you out!" Boya laughed.
More people said that Han and Black Egg, such a strong combination, would definitely have no problem. They would be able to return in victory and honor.
Han was talking with this crowd when he suddenly saw Ye Weiwei in the corner.
Weiwei was wearing a black leather dress which showed her graceful body shape. She stood aside from the group and sneaked looks at Han constantly. Only Luo Ying stayed her company.
Han walked out of the group and came to Weiwei with a smile.
"You guys talk and I’ll find something to eat." Luo Ying left with a mischievous smile and she also took away Silver fox. As for Blue Star, nobody worried about him, he was just an idiot.
Weiwei whispered with a slightly red face, "Make sure that you stay safe."
Han stared at her for more than 10 seconds. This girl must have something on her mind. Since her power couldn’t be restrained and brought many threats to the base, Weiwei become depressed.
She was afraid of contacting others. She always hid away quietly unless Han was present.
Weiwei felt guilty because she had hurt others. Han had not seen her wear dresses for a long time. Even the smile on her face was much less than before.
"Don’t worry, wait until I come back," Han said with a smile.
"En!" Weiwei nodded with a complicated look.
Han, of course, had a special feeling to Weiwei, but there were too many people at the moment, it was not a good time for him to say anything. He could only walk away with a smile and entered the 6th floor of the dark net space ship with Black Egg.
"Sister Weiwei," Luo Ying asked with confusion, "Why don’t you tell Han that your grandpa asked you to look for him?"
Weiwei shook her head, looked at Han’s back and said, "Forget about it. He has too much to worry about, I don’t want to give him trouble. I don’t want to give anyone trouble."
"You!" Ying talked like an adult with pouted lips, "How can you say that is trouble between the two of you? If you don’t hurry up, I can see Han being taken away by Jian Jia."
Weiwei said with a faint smile, "But I always hurt others, I cannot even control myself. I am afraid that one day I might hurt Han. Perhaps this is my fate."
"Well, Han doesn’t believe in fate." Ying said loudly. In fact, she also fully adored Han in her heart. Only because she was too young, Han had been treating her as a child. But he forgot that children would grow up one day.
Swish ~
The dark net space ship officially departed with Han, Black Egg and Yuan Yuan on board.
Destination, The Ninth floor of the Grand Golden Tower!
