Chapter 498: Chapter 498
The answers to those questions could not be found, at least Chu Yunsheng could not find them. He still vaguely remembered that Yan Min once treated him as one of their own and told him it had been like this for more than millions of years.
However, Chu Yunsheng did not know what happened tens of millions of years ago. The knowledge he learned from textbooks was limited to the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and then it was blank after that.
If it was even further back, there seemed to be a Cambrian geological period as well. It seemed to be an era that had a “big explosion of life”. All kinds of different creatures almost appeared magically overnight. The number was so large and the species were so many that it had completely contradicted the normal law of the evolution speed as if there was a hand in the darkness pus.h.i.+ng the evolution forward.
This hand, in the age of light, was called “the hand of G.o.d” by many scientists!
Now, it seemed like, it was not just a theory…
Chu Yunsheng exhaled a long smoke and rubbed his temple. He felt slightly heavy-headed.
What exactly happened in the past, and who was the real owner of this land? and why did he set up a plan that caused Earth to become like this?
He stood on the top of the ruined building gazing afar. As the cold wind swept across the fragmented land of Earth, blowing his white hair, his thoughts began to drift away.
The senior pract.i.tioner once said that this planet was not a good place. The sooner he left here the better it was. With his knowledge and ability, he must have found something that made him say that five thousand years ago. Unfortunately, some words in the ancient book still could not be deciphered. Otherwise…
‘However, why should our generation be burdened with the debt that was caused tens of millions of years ago? Aunt died, Xiaohai died, and Dumb Insect died… They died… Why! Why do we have to suffer!’
Chu Yunsheng’s chilly gaze pierced through the sky, seemingly capturing a glimmer of an evil smile of the ancient secret.
‘Who has human blood and who has alien blood, G.o.d, you also don’t know, do you? You don’t even know which side I belong to! Unfortunately, I am running out of the time…’
He lowered his head and his eyes reflected the piles of desolate ruins. The former prosperity of Luoyang City was now only buried under those ruins. Occasionally, there were a few steel bars piercing through the collapsed concrete building, pointing stubbornly at the sky.
The crushed and burnt cars were everywhere, but the complete ones almost could not be found. No one knows how many battles they had been through, but people do know that when it was quiet, there would be one or two small blurry creatures, emerging vigilantly from the interstices of those broken cars from time to time. With the green light coming out of their eyes, they would often glance around for a moment, before they quickly jumped from one pile of ruins to another, searching for the rotten tires on the car to eat.
‘Is this still the world that I used to live in?’
The city that used to have unusually crowded streets, and the city that used to be able to access to a network that could reach all corners of the world. How many people could still remember that kind of world today? Even if they did, it probably only existed in their dreams!
Chu Yunsheng tried to remember the life he used to live. But he suddenly found that those “memories” were getting farther and farther in his mind, like a boat sailing into the sea; all it left was the dark sky and blood occupying most of the s.p.a.ce in his memory…
At this time, his ears echoed the hoa.r.s.e scream of a member of the last resistance force Li Mingchen.
“Do you really want to wait until you lost everything, and then regret it?”
Chu Yunsheng finally sighed softly, “Cherish what’s left… But what else do I have? Maybe there is only Huzai… But where is it? and is it still alive?…”

On the southeast bank of the Volga River in Russia, there were large armies gathering in the sky over Samara City. Many awakened humans and armies from many Eastern Asia and Western Asia had been deployed here to form an airtight defense line. This was the first line of defense of the Eastern Joint Forces of the battlefield of human rance and G.o.d.
The cold weather and the ma.s.sacre of Moscow by the G.o.d’s warriors had greatly reduced the morale of the Joint Army. There were frozen corpses everywhere. The wounded people moaned in pain in various languages constantly like ghostly wails in the ice and snow, making the originally quiet night even scarier.
The reconnaissance aircraft in the sky also seemed to be wheeling in the sky dispiritedly. After a round of hastily scans, they immediately flew back to the airbase. Regardless of how their comrades would laugh or curse at them, they still did not dare to fly across the Volga River at all. They were already terrified by the super-advanced cubes and the flying beasts of G.o.d’s warriors.
Since the beginning of the war, people have died every day. People used to die in the battle, but now, people would rather die before the battle started.
The cold wind from the Arctic brought bone-chilling ice elemental energy. Even the people who awakened with ice elemental energy would be s.h.i.+vering in cold, let alone those who awakened other elemental energies.
The daily looting over the new batch of food and other supplies had already become the only large-scale movement on the Eastern Front.
Fortunately, there were fewer and fewer bullets and energy beams flying overhead, so they did not have to worry about losing your life accidentally while they were peeing.
According to the gossip, the “puppet army” and the “Beast army” that were under the control of the G.o.d’s warriors on the other side of the river had transferred their main forces to the Western defense line. The mysterious creatures that were dealing with the bodies on the other side of the river had also disappeared. All the signs indicated that the gossip was quite reliable.
However, despite that, all the people in the joint force had already lost their courage to push over the river. Even the people from the top were also the same.
Even so, the situation on the Eastern Front was like living in a paradise than the Western Front. Almost everyone in the Western Front, which was located in the border area of Orsha City, Belarus, would curse the “allies” on the Eastern Front thousands of times a day. However, apart from that, there was nothing they could do. They had to grit their teeth and face the fierce attack of the “puppet army” and “the beast army”, and step by step slowly retreated to the second line of defense in Warsaw City.
Every day they suffered huge losses.
Compared with the terrible battlefield situation at the beginning of the war, the joint meetings of the major forces were even noisier and chaotic nowadays.
Through the communication methods that had been rebuilt over the years, the hologram images of many powerful figures of the major forces were arguing day and night in the joint conference building of Sky City.
General Oslton, who was at the second line of defense on the western front, turned off the remote communication device with a livid face. He slowly leaned back while crossing his arms before his chest, and his blue eyes were revealing the fierce gleams.
A moment later, he pressed a b.u.t.ton and calmly said, “Please let Mr. Serlevich in.”
About a minute later, a well-dressed old man opened the door of Oslton’s office and said politely, “General.”
Oslton pointed to the table and said without any expressions, “I regret to tell you that those eastern cowards are ready to abandon all Russian defense lines completely. They have most of the seats in the joint meeting. We can’t help it. Of course, your delegates will send you the message as well soon.”
