Chapter 1892 - 984: The Disappearance of Jindai Yunlo (Part 2)

Li Changqing calmly said, ”I understand, we will continue to obey your orders, we will see the end of destiny ourselves... or have others see it for us.”

”That’s right.” Zero said with a smile, ”The only different viewpoint between me and the old man on Ginkgo Mountain is that I think you shouldn’t wait for Qing Chen’s return anymore. Regardless of whether he’s alive or not, from this moment on you should consider him dead. If millions of people’s destinies need one person to save them, then these millions are truly pitiful. You all need to save yourselves.”

Everyone looked at each other, recently everyone had been waiting for Qing Chen, as if everything would be fine once he arrived.

Gradually, their own fighting spirit began to fade, as if without Qing Chen’s return, this war was destined to be lost.

They no longer believed they could win this war with their own power.

Zero asked, ”Have you ever thought that Qing Chen has already done enough? Even when he wasn’t sick, he thought every day about how to buy you time, even willing to go to West Continent while seriously ill to disrupt the Drama Master’s plan of awakening the old monster. If he’s done all this, and you still can’t win the war, what is your purpose?”

Li Changqing was thoughtful, ”Do you think we can now win this war by ourselves?”

Zero laughed, ”Before I thought it was impossible, but these past few days I’ve suddenly felt... it’s worth a try.”

Zero was also amazed at the role of the taboo ACE-002 Heaven and Earth Chessboard, but today she wanted to tell everyone not to be shackled by the predetermined fate.

Everyone sees destiny only as fragments, while between the seams of those destinies, there still needs to be fire.

Li Changqing said, ”I’ll lead people to Jian Menguan today to join forces with Qing’s Group Army to assist the Parents’ Meeting.”

”No need,” Zero shook her head, ”We don’t need to be there anymore, you need to start evacuating the city today to prevent West Continent from directly throwing missiles into the city.”

Liu Dezhu asked curiously, ”Don’t they need population?”

Zero: ”The entire Central Plains is already theirs, losing the population of the Southwest is no big deal. We’ll become targets if we stay, and will implicate the city’s residents. Everyone go get ready, we’ll evacuate at dawn, retreat to the edge of the Taboo Land 001, and even further inside the Taboo Land.”

At night, Li Tongyun and Jinguji Maki sat at the highest point of Ginkgo Manor, surrounded by rows of tombstones, but they weren’t very afraid.

Xiao Zhenji was very depressed, and Li Tongyun asked, ”Is it because those Shikigami were sealed?”

”Yes,” she nodded, ”Some were friends I’ve only known for a few days.”

At the moment Amber was about to engulf everything, Xiao Zhenji looked up at the Giant Whale before entering the Door of Shadow, but the other’s eyes showed no fear, only peacefully watching her, as if caring for a junior.

Li Tongyun comforted, ”Fortunately, you can cross over and return with us in the future. After getting used to having you in the Outer World, coming to the Inner World and not seeing you feels a bit strange. Don’t worry about those Shikigami, once your master returns, he’ll help you solve it as long as they’re still present, he can help you retrieve them all.”

”Yes.” Xiao Zhenji nodded.

”By the way, you disappeared without telling anyone in the Outer World, did Jindai Yunlo take you to complete the life and death trial?” Li Tongyun asked curiously, ”Where was it completed?”

”In the Guatemala Sinkhole,” Xiao Zhenji replied, ”But... Mr. Jindai Yunlo seemed to have a lot on his mind, talked about many things.”

”What did he say?”

”The teacher said, the reason we became Internal Test Players is because someone already chose a certain destiny for us, I have mine, and he has his.”

”The teacher said if we meet again, he’ll help me build a Heritage Academy on Whale Island to teach Time Travelers how to cultivate Onmyoji heritage. By then, when I’ve grown up, he’ll be content sweeping the floor inside, watching the kids joke around, stealing food from the kitchen for kids who’ve been punished.”

Li Tongyun looked up in surprise, feeling a sense of foreboding.

...

...

In the Southwest wilderness, all the Parent Association Members were hiding under camouflaged cloths, with more than ten floating airships searching in the sky, looking for the Parents’ Meeting’s trace.

All the Parent Association Members didn’t dare to breathe, afraid to make any noise that might be captured by the sonar devices overhead, yet despite being so careful, accidents still happened.

In the sonar devices, if the enemy hears even a sound of a twig breaking, they will immediately drop an incendiary bomb to probe, if screams come from below, they will instantly cover a five-kilometer radius with firepower, until one B-Class floating airship exhausts a base set of ammunition, only then will it leave.

From the sky it’s difficult to distinguish the camouflage cloth on the ground, but the West Continent fleet’s firepower strikes were relentless as if money was no object, mercilessly pouring down.

No matter how many Parent Association Members there are, they have no means against the floating airships above.

Once the floating airships went far away, Luo Wanya lifted the camouflage cloth and gasped, ”This isn’t working, now it’s just more than ten B-Class floating airships, and we’re stuck in the wilderness unable to move. According to the original plan, we should have arrived at Jian Menguan by now, but we’re still a day away.”

Xiao Qi nodded, ”More and more West Continent fleets are freeing up their hands behind us, soon we’ll be completely trapped in this wilderness, we must find a solution.”
