Chapter 1356: Gathering Together and Setting Off
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“This is an important area of the Annihilation Universe! All intruders are to be executed!” An Annihilator expert saw that the Fiend Race warehouses had been broken open, and he immediately led a force to intercept the attackers, roaring at Lady Hanxiao.
Pluus.h.!.+ Pluus.h.!.+
Lady Hanxiao revealed her true body, and those warriors all went crazy!
They didn’t know the distinction between the Yggdragons and Dragons. They really thought that the Dragons had staged a counterattack on Annihilation!
As for that impressive war G.o.d, Hanxiao had torn him to shreds! Then she spat the remains on the ground in a pile of meat paste!
!!
“What important area of the Annihilation Universe!? The belongings of the three warehouses of the Fiend Race never belonged to them!” Hanxiao hissed viciously.
The surviving warriors immediately ran for their lives. Dragons were simply far too terrifying! The intense Dragon Qi left everyone uneasy and made their legs tremble! In the face of this savage mother dragon, all of them fled desperately.
Chu Jingfeng swallowed. He had never imagined that the genial Lady Hanxiao would have such a savage side.
“What are you standing around for!? Go and keep an eye on the four Soul Familiars! Don’t let them pull any tricks!” Hanxiao snarled at Chu Jingfeng.
Chu Jingfeng was startled, and cold sweat drenched his back. He hastened off to Warehouse One to take inventory and stow the items in his spatial ring.
In truth, Hanxiao had overestimated the boldness of the four Soul Familiars. The savage and fiendish mother dragon was extremely intimidating! The four Soul Familiars didn’t dare to try and defy this crazy woman!
The three warehouses were soon emptied. Hanxiao glanced at the empty buildings and then ordered loudly, “Let’s go!”
With a whoosh, her wings unfurled, each one four hundred kilometers long!
Hanxiao led Chu Jingfeng and the four Soul Familiars back to the eighth universe!
…
The shattered star system of Britannia…
This was Yang Ji’s first time taking part in a battle of this scale, and he was very excited. He majestically led a group of Mythical Beasts to Xia Fei’s side and said, “My dad said that you’re going to leave with us to a very fun place, but he didn’t tell me exactly where. Could you maybe secretly tell me?”
Xia Fei smiled. “I don’t think it’s a fun place at all. Clean up the battlefield. Let’s get ready to withdraw.”
Yang Ji nodded. “It’s fine if you don’t say anything. It keeps the excitement of adventure. In any case, I’ll find out soon enough. Haha, I’m finally going on an adventure!” Yang Ji happily shouted, and then he let out a roar. Although it wasn’t as deep and majestic as his father’s roar, it was enough to intimidate the other Mythical Beasts.
The beasts began to shuffle back and enter dark s.p.a.ce.
Xia Gucheng led the Skywings to Xia Fei’s side. The Grand Ancestor said nothing, only patting Xia Fei on the shoulder before departing.
“Haa,” Xia Guanghai smiled at Xia Fei and said. “The Grand Ancestor has it hard. After holding that secret for so many years, it was finally exposed. Let him be alone for a while. Right, it’s a good thing you drafted that retreat plan ahead of time. All of your people have been evacuated.”
Xia Fei joined everyone in entering dark s.p.a.ce. Inside was a whole row of giant Mythical Beast eagles, lined up like battles.h.i.+ps, each with a wingspan greater than one hundred kilometers!
Such majesty! “We were able to get here so quickly entirely because of these Great Pengs under Yangguang’s command,” Xu Luanbu told Xia Fei.
Fiend Race, Mythical Beasts, Yggdragons, humans; the bizarre army rumbled off into dark s.p.a.ce, their destination: the eighth universe!
…
The two groups returned to the eighth universe at almost the same time. They had encountered few obstructions on the journey back.
Lady Hanxiao had her usual smile as she led Xia Fei to see the treasures stolen from the three great warehouses. On the side, Chu Jingfeng was pestering Yangguang with questions about how Yangguang had managed to survive having such a fierce wife.
“Very good! Keep all these things here. They will be very useful.”
Xia Fei and Lady Hanxiao turned to go back to the main hall, but the four Soul Familiars barred Xia Fei’s path.
“We’ve done as we agreed, but you must give us the Iron Book,” Wing said sternly.
Xia Fei replied, “I’ve always kept my word.”
“As if!” Gale retorted.
Xia Fei chuckled and asked, “Then do you guys have a better plan? If you could find the Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s Iron Book, would you have agreed to my conditions? Moreover, even if you have the Iron Book, it’s useless without the Jade Dragon Frost. Thus, I advise all of you to quietly wait here. I will fulfill your desires.”
The four Soul Familiars were rendered speechless. The reality was very clear: they had neither the Iron Book nor the Jade Dragon Frost! They really didn’t have any option except working with Xia Fei!

In the main hall of Yangguang’s palace, many people had gathered: the Skywings, the Auroreans, the Law Realm leaders, the four Soul Familiars, Chu Jingfeng, the Mythical Beasts, and so on. It was a very chaotic scene.
Xia Fei told Yangguang to organize his own subordinates, asked Chu Jingfeng to treat Autumn Erudite, and then he went off alone to G.o.d’s Eden.

Avril was looking curiously around the mystical garden, Little Yu at her side.
The two of them were seated on a rock underneath a tree when Xia Fei arrived. Little Yu tactfully chose to leave.
“My apologies. I really couldn’t leave you at home, that would leave me very uneasy. But it will also be very dangerous if you follow me to my next destination,” Xia Fei lit a cigarette as he spoke.
Avril smiled casually. “There’s no need to apologize. I will go wherever you go.”
Xia Fei asked, “How are Charlie and the others doing?”
Avril replied, “According to the shelter plan, they’ve gone to the Mech Race’s hidden dimension. They shouldn’t run into any problems.”
The shelter plan was a contingency that Xia Fei had drafted many years ago so that his people could withdraw if any sort of major incident were to occur. But Xia Fei hadn’t expected a day that the shelter plan would need to be implemented would actually come.
It had to be understood that this plan involved countless people, with even the Earth being pulled into the Mech Race’s hidden s.p.a.ce. Chen Dong, Moon Song, Charlie, Wu Long, and everyone else related to Xia Fei had disappeared from the universe, and would stay that way until Xia Fei announced that the alert had been lifted. So long as the alert remained in place, they would not leave the hidden s.p.a.ce until they died of old age.
At this time, Yangguang began to arrange for people to board G.o.d’s Eden.
G.o.d’s Eden was enormous, and only a small portion of it was being used. There was still a large region that could be used to station troops.
Avril was stunned at the grandiose sight of a vast horde of Mythical Beasts flooding into G.o.d’s Eden!
Then there were the Yggdragons. Although they could take human form like Yangguang, they were very clumsy, like giants. Chu Jingfeng and Xu Luanbu kept a close eye on them for fear that they would trample the plants.
The eighth universe was home to an enormous number of beasts, far more than G.o.d’s Eden could hold. Thus, Yangguang only brought his people and his most powerful and highest-ranked Mythical Beasts.
Those savage fellows all gathered together were truly quite intimidating. Avril couldn’t help but make a face at Xia Fei, whispering, “It seems like you’re up to something pretty big.”
Xia Fei nodded. “Mm, if I succeed, I’ll turn the entire universe upside-down.”
Avril’s eyes brightened, for Xia Fei was once more exuding his extremely serious aura. Whenever Xia Fei got serious, his aura would undergo a ma.s.sive change, which Avril loved about him. She looked at Xia Fei with a burning gaze, her heart beating faster and faster.
‘Turn the universe upside-down!?’, Avril nervously thought to herself. She knew that she had married an unusual fellow who often did unconventional things, but he was being absurdly unconventional this time!
A man who said something as treasonous as turning the universe upside-down might not be a good man, but he was definitely a crazy man!
Xia Fei left Avril and Little Yu in the garden and ran over to help Yangguang and the others organize the troops.
Fortunately, while Yangguang’s subordinates were beasts, they were very obedient. If they were given a designated location, they would remain there and not mess around.
Oro, the Skywings, and the Auroreans were stationed in another region. Temporary buildings were quickly erected for them to live in.
Xia Fei’s sudden move to call out everyone he trusted had drawn no objections from these people, only more trust. They believed that Xia Fei would not do such a thing for no reason, but all of them speculated as to their destination and discussed why Xia Fei had gathered such a great force.
After some thought, Xia Fei walked up to Oro and said, “The Skywings and Auroreans are my family. There’s no way they can stay where they were, as Annihilation would target them. The same isn’t true for you guys. Annihilation might not seek you out to cause trouble.”
Oro glared as he shouted, “Kid, what are you saying!? Are you shunning this Oro!? There’s no need to talk! Wherever you go, I go! Trying to drive me away? Don’t even think about it!”
Oro’s voice was rather loud, and he drew a lot of laughter from the people nearby.
Xia Gucheng, his back to Xia Fei, shot him a glance, telling him that he shouldn’t worry about Oro. In the Law Realm, the Lionheart Race was on best terms with the Skywing Clan. If they didn’t bring along Oro’s people, there was a high chance of them being purged.
Xia Fei exhaled in relief and scanned the area.
He had mustered all the combat power he could! He had a.s.sembled all of the power that he could trust!
Old brothers and new comrades-in-arms! He had truly pulled out everything! He couldn’t afford to lose this battle!
Turning around, Xia Fei strode toward the very front of G.o.d’s Eden. He swung his right arm, planting Peac.o.c.k Blue in G.o.d’s Eden and linking with the control system.
With a shudder and rumble, the enormous G.o.d’s Eden, the supercarrier created by the Four Sky Devils, was setting off!
…
G.o.d’s Eden moved extremely fast! In just twenty hours, it had arrived at its destination. This was a Cosmic Gate, pitch-black and bottomless, like a fathomless abyss.
Xia Fei stopped the s.h.i.+p and turned around.
At this moment, everyone had gathered at Xia Fei’s side to hear his plan. Besides Yangguang, Xia Gucheng, and Chu Jingfeng, n.o.body knew where they were going or what they were doing.
His eyes grim, Xia Fei swallowed and scanned the crowd. In a deep voice, he said, “First of all, I must tell everyone this fact: my Skywing Clan are descendants of the Fiend Race!”
Everyone paled. No one had expected Xia Fei’s opening words to be so provocative!
