CHAPTER 729: CHAPTER 595: THE MANDATE FROM THE HOLY REALM!

Deep in the sky.

A grand and solemn voice echoed from afar:

"Humans, we created you."

"We taught you various knowledge, helped you move from the primitive era to civilization."

"The proof of this is—"

"Once your civilization develops to a certain degree, reaching the critical point of knowledge and technology breakthrough, we will descend."

"Humans, return to our command."

"We will also grant you the power of eternal life."

"Come, we have been waiting for you!"

After these words finished, there was a pause, and then they started repeating.

In the bar.

Shen Feixue listened quietly, then spoke:

"Is what it’s saying true?"

"Of course not, it’s a psychological ploy. Once someone surrenders, they can be driven by them." Jiang Shanglan said.

"Now everyone has the same health bars. If they can deceive people into letting down their guard, or even voluntarily becoming slaves, why wouldn’t they?" Wu Xiaode also said.

"Remember, in the end, they will exterminate human civilization—although they may keep a very small number of humans as ornamental playthings." Jiang Shanglan said earnestly.

After listening seriously, Shen Feixue couldn’t help shivering and exclaimed:

"They speak so nicely, but they actually want to exterminate us!"

A silence fell in the bar.

Wu Xiaode and Jiang Shanglan did not continue the conversation.

Both of their gazes were fixed on the scene outside the window—

The flood had destroyed several houses, and after gathering more rainwater, it finally headed towards the bar.

"I’ll go first."

Jiang Shanglan raised her hand and pointed outside the window.

"Lu Chen—"

She muttered.

However, just as a strand of magic was about to emerge from her hand, she suddenly shook her hand, retracting all the power back.

"What’s wrong?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

In the next instant, he knew what had happened.

The earth trembled violently, as if it was about to sink, but quickly returned to normal.

Jiang Shanglan said with annoyance:

"The world stopped me from releasing that move—it is a planet-destroying magic, which according to the rules can only take three bars of its health but would destroy the entire town and our shelter."

"You, remember to use low-powered moves," Wu Xiaode admonished.

A billion worlds return to Unity, "Pangu" is about to awaken.

Any high-powered world-destroying magic is naturally suppressed.

"Low-powered..." Jiang Shanglan repeated.

She looked up—

Above her, dozens of planets emerged.

Each planet exuded tremendous pressure.

Jiang Shanglan looked somewhat lost.

—How can I use low-powered moves?

"Like this," Wu Xiaode started to demonstrate.

He pulled out a revolver, "Peacemaker," from his waist and began firing outside.

Bang bang bang!

Three bullets hit the flood but passed through, striking the gray wall of the house opposite, kicking up a cloud of cement dust.

—The monster didn’t lose any health.

Shen Feixue watched from the side, and at this moment she hesitated: "There is a Biological Mecha in the storeroom, should I operate it?"

"A pregnant woman operating a mecha? Forget it, besides, the flood is liquid, bullet attacks are ineffective, and your mecha attack would probably be ineffective too," Wu Xiaode waved his hand and said.

He looked up at his own health and soul power bars.

—Now everyone’s health bar is at 20 bars, soul power is at 10 points.

point of soul power, release a skill.

Ordinary people too.

To some extent, the more formidable the person, the more they are weakened by "love, dreams, world peace."

But ordinary people don’t know anything; a few magic hits from a distance will kill them.

While the three were talking, the flood had accumulated enough strength and surged towards the bar.

"I was originally planning to make a few protective walls, but too bad they all said it was useless—now it seems I really should have insisted on my own idea," Shen Feixue said regretfully.

Jiang Shanglan thought for a moment, a hint of frost in her eyes, and murmured in a low voice:

"Solidify."

At once, her soul power dropped by one point, leaving her with just nine.

Outside the window.

The raging floodwaters suddenly turned into ice sculptures, solidifying on the street.

Jiang Shanglan didn’t seem very pleased and grumbled:

"Only three seconds—the control magic has been reduced to such a brief duration."

Wu Xiaode fired his gun.

Bang bang bang!

The bullets hit the frozen flood blocks, stirring up a burst of cold air.

The health bar in the sky immediately dropped by one bar.

——It hit!

Wu Xiaode, greatly encouraged, fired three more shots and emptied the bullets in his revolver.

The health bar shook and dropped by one point.

Jiang Shanglan stared at the ice sculpture-like torrent, her eyes gleaming with a golden hue, her mouth shifting through several syllables before she finally articulated:

"Starfall."

A meteor descended from the sky, striking the frozen torrent.

The intense shockwave caused the roof tiles of the surrounding houses to be blown away.

The bar’s roof had been reinforced, leaving only the windows to tremble with the impact —

"Don’t worry, it’s bulletproof glass."

Shen Feixue said.

Wu Xiaode breathed a huge sigh of relief and glanced at Jiang Shanglan.

Jiang Shanglan voiced her frustration, "That was the weakest magic."

The health bar above the torrent dropped by three points.

Such power and it only took away three points of health.

Up to this point, the torrent had lost five points of health, leaving it with 15 points remaining.

The freezing time ended.

Whoosh——

The torrent thawed.

But it began to show the unique emotions of a living creature.

The torrent halted its surge, swirling in place and forming a massive vortex.

"Is it hesitating?" guessed Jiang Shanglan.

"I feel like it’s weighing whether to come up and fight desperately, seeing as it’s already lost health," Wu Xiaode said, focusing on the vortex.

The next instant.

Instead of rushing toward the bar, the torrent spread out in all directions, absorbing the rain from the sky.

"It wants to become stronger."

Wu Xiaode said quickly, while also checking his revolver.

This gun, a product of the Chaotic Sequence, produced only one bullet every ten seconds, and currently, there was no time to reload.

"It will keep getting stronger, which is not good."

Jiang Shanglan stretched out her hand to release the Ice Freezing Skill once again.

To avoid damaging the surrounding buildings and affecting the bar, she had consciously controlled the power of her magic.

Frost enveloped the streets.

The torrent froze once more.

Wu Xiaode pushed open the door of the bar and shouted, "We can’t have the building damaged, you defend, I’ll attack!"

"Okay!" Jiang Shanglan responded promptly.

Being the genuine Master of the Stars, she indeed had far superior perception compared to Wu Xiaode.

Besides, buildings were the core of survival, and she was confident that she could hold them for a short time.

As for attacking —

No matter who struck, the lost health was the same!

The two made a quick decision.

Wu Xiaode stood at the door, didn’t charge into the rain, but instead drew his Butterfly Soul knife from his waist.

The long blade flashed, turning into a streak of light that soared out and materialized into the Light and Dark Black Dragon on the street.

Butterfly Soul Knife·Dragon Transformation!

The dragon danced through the air, constantly releasing bursts of blade light that pierced the torrent.

"Akagi" and "Fubuki" exerted their force together!

"Guaranteed damage" and "From a distance" effects activated simultaneously, making continuous slashes on the frozen torrent.

The health bar dropped by two points in an instant, then another two points in a flash, and in a brief moment, it was completely drained.

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

Jiang Shanglan was also stunned.

——How could it be so powerful?

"Fantastic!"

Shen Feixue cheered.

Amidst her shouts, the torrent outside dispersed, turning into cold droplets that fell to the ground and no longer gathered together.

"I get it now, your move was a continuous physical attack; it’s like it was being cut by you non-stop, which is why the health kept dropping," Jiang Shanglan realized.

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.

"Rage" was inherently focused on close combat.

Now that it had evolved into "Love, Dreams, World Peace," it would only encourage both sides of the fight to engage in close-ranged battle even more.

A mysterious ice crystal remained on the street.

Looking at the ice crystal, a sudden enlightenment rose in Wu Xiaode’s mind.

Rows of tiny ice crystal letters appeared alongside it:

"Your ’Element Detection’ has been automatically activated."

"You have perceived and understood this ice crystal, the details are as follows:"

"Holy Fragment Crystal."

"Description: A bizarre object that transforms all things into life."

Almost simultaneously, the Book of the Dead flipped to the Wishing Wall page.

Rows of tiny ice crystal letters also appeared on the Wishing Wall:

"’Lowering Gaze’ is operating."

"The Holy Realm Eternal Demon peers down at you from the Holy Realm, noticing your gain."

"It issues the following request through the Wishing Wall:"

"Gather a ’Holy Fragment Crystal’ for it and pass it on via the Wishing Wall, and you will receive an unknown reward granted by it."

"Do you accept this commission?"
