Chapter 1796: Protecting This Beautiful Place
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A chilly wind blew past.
Dongfang Xue’s hair danced in the wind, and her dress blossomed like a lotus flower in the night sky.
She leaned on the railing and looked out across the vibrant city with countless colors reflected in her eyes.
She could see the city in all its lavish and lively glory, but at the same time, she was seemingly far away from the city itself.
It was as if she was situated amid the glitz and glamor, but at the same time, she was also situated in her very own world here.
Ne Zha’s heavenly red silk scarf also danced in the wind.
“This city is very modernized and reminds me of the cities during the Purple Star Civilization era. Perhaps this world will reach those heights one day.” An expression of yearning appeared on his face.
“Purple Star Civilization? What kind of civilization is that?” Dongfang Xue turned to An Lin with curiosity on her face.
An Lin offered an explanation, “This was a civilization that developed technology to extreme heights. It was once an extremely grand and mighty civilization with extreme exploits in life technology, spatial technology, and even dao technology. They could alter and fuse bloodlines, shatter s.p.a.ce, allow all of its citizens to cultivate, artificially create Dao Integration Stage creatures…
“At that time, the Purple Star Civilization represented the human race.
“Unfortunately, it incurred the wrath of the heavens, and the entire civilization was destroyed… Our war against the Heavenly Human Tribe is actually also a result of this fallout…”
Dongfang Xue’s face paled slightly upon hearing this.
Tian Lingling’s eyes widened as she gasped in shock. “A civilization as powerful as that was destroyed? Are we really fighting against such powerful beings?”
Ne Zha heaved a faint sigh. “Earth hasn’t even seen any Heaven Pioneer Stage Heavenly Humans, so none of you have any idea about just how terrifying the heavens is. If it weren’t for An Lin turning the tables and destroying two Heavenly Gates in quick succession, the Kingdom of the Nine States may have already fallen.”
“Fake Daoist Priest is that powerful?” Tian Lingling was astonished again.
“Hehe, is this the first time you’ve heard about how powerful I am?” An Lin pinched Tian Lingling’s delicate cheeks with a smile.
Tian Lingling glared at An Lin with a sulky expression. “I’ll allow you to do this just this once seeing as you’re saving the world…”
“Saving the world? Please don’t force that tag on me. I’m just trying to protect those who are important to me.” An Lin was not prepared to shoulder the monumental task of saving the world.
“Look.” Dongfang Xue pointed at the city down below. “This city is so beautiful. I really love this place, and I really love this world, but I’m useless and powerless to protect it.”
She turned toward An Lin with a downcast expression. “I’m too weak. I can’t even imagine how powerful our enemies are…”
“Big Sister Dongfang.” Tian Lingling latched onto her hand with a concerned expression.
A vibrant smile suddenly appeared on Dongfang Xue’s face. “But I can sing! I’m going to dedicate my voice to this world and make it a better place. I can inspire more people to fight and protect this world… Perhaps this is my mission and my duty in this war?”
She stared at An Lin before speaking in a soft voice, “I hope… I can make you remember the beauty of this world and evoke within you the urge to protect it.”
An Lin was completely dumbstruck.
Dongfang Xue’s eyes were filled with sincerity without even the tiniest hint of impurity. The emotions being transmitted by her eyes were also quite simple. She didn’t know how to do anything aside from singing, and she hoped to use her voice to make the world a better place.
“Don’t worry, Earth is my home. I’m not going to just stand by and watch as my home gets destroyed. Trust me, I’m super bada.s.s!” An Lin vowed in a firm voice.
Dongfang Xue nodded with a gentle expression. “I trust you.”
Hu City was a city that never slept.
All of the bright lights only gradually faded when a new day arrived.
The sun rose up in the sky.
An Lin rode on Da Bai and began his trip to explore the cracks in the formation.
He decided to inspect a few of the largest cracks first. Soul Piercing Stage Heavenly Humans could emerge from these cracks, so they were highly dangerous. After all, Soul Piercing Stage Heavenly Humans could crush all beings below the Return to Void Stage, and a few Soul Piercing Stage Heavenly Humans working together could even combat a Return to Void Stage mighty figure.
Within the Kunlun Mountain ranges.
There was a place that shone with a white, metallic light under the sun.
It looked like a sea of silver light from afar.
However, if one were to draw closer, they would discover with a shock that these were actually Gundams, all of which were about a dozen meters tall.
They had thick and strong legs, agile arms, and stalwart chests that could be opened up to reveal cannons within. All of the Gundams were equipped with portable nuclear fusion missiles, super electromagnetic cannons, plasma cannons, and other types of cutting edge weaponry.
All of these Gundams were extremely expensive to manufacture, but they were also very powerful. Following a series of tests, it was determined that these Gundams were comparable in combat prowess to cultivators at the pinnacle of the Spirit Nurturing Stage. From a destructive power standpoint alone, they could even rival Soul Formation Stage powerful beings.
There were no less than two hundred of these Gundams here!
Aside from that, there was a colossal, inky-black structure behind the Gundams, which was over five hundred meters tall and looked like a modern spin on the Egyptian pyramids.
This was their mothers.h.i.+p, the super battles.h.i.+p that could operate in the sea, on land, and in the sky!
No wonder Chen Jingguo could announce with confidence that the army was the main force combating the Heavenly Human Tribe, not cultivators. Just these devastating weapons alone were not something even a top-rate sect on Earth could compare with.
All of the silver Gundams were a.s.signed the name “Hope” and carried the hopes of the human race.
That pyramid-like super battles.h.i.+p was named “Dawn”.
The sun gradually began to rise.
Sunlight shone down upon the inky-black super battles.h.i.+p, “Dawn”, but a golden light was somehow reflected off its surface. Not only that, but the golden light spread across the surface of the structure, instantly making it a golden pyramid s.h.i.+ning with boundless golden light.
“No matter how many times I witness the ‘Dawn’ super battles.h.i.+p under the sun, I still can’t help but praise it. To think that human intelligence is able to create something so beautiful.” A middle-aged woman in a white blazer with her black hair piled up in a bun made her way out from her temporary lodging and looked up at the colossus before her.
“Teacher, your contribution is undeniable for such a beautiful masterpiece to appear in this world.” A man with golden hair and green eyes appeared beside her with a smile.
The woman was a little entranced by the sight of the golden pyramid. “It has never once been in action during this war. I hope that things continue to remain this way…”
