479: Chapter 479 Countdown to Godhood

"That existence—how could it be here?"

"Shouldn't it have already undergone Fusion with the world will? Why would it—"

"Or is it that—it never annihilated at all, but simply chose to slumber, and then in this era, within this young man—awakened?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Nolan looked at Chen Yi, looked at that young face, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

---

Chen Yi was currently immersed in the final critical moment of his Breakthrough, his brows tightly locked, fine beads of sweat seeping from his temples.

His entire being was struggling against the impending life transformation.

He did not yet know what he was carrying within himself.

Nor did he know what kind of gaze was watching him.

"Could it be—"

Nolan's heart skipped a beat, "The Void Realm, has it finally waited for the day it can be ended?"

He did not say it out loud.

He dared not say it out loud.

Because hope, once spoken, becomes fragile.

Zhao Zhao was still regretting not being able to eat the world will, not noticing the ripples in Nolan's eyes.

She swung her little legs out of boredom, watching Chen Yi's Breakthrough, and even started counting how many energy crystals were floating around—

"Thirteen thousand four hundred fifty-two, thirteen thousand four hundred fifty-three—"

"Ah, ah, so boring!"

"Can only look, can't eat, no fun!"

Another day passed.

Zhao Zhao and Nolan kept staring at Chen Yi like this, even finding some joy in it.

If Chen Yi had discovered that these two guys had been squatting beside him for four whole days, doing nothing but watching him absorb energy there.

He would definitely shout, "What the hell is wrong with you guys?"

But unfortunately, he didn't notice.

After his Rank broke through to the Fourteenth Tier, Tenth Stage, his perception of his surroundings had become precise enough to capture the trajectory of a single dust mote!

Yet he still couldn't capture the slightest aura of Nolan and Zhao Zhao!

This was the essential difference between the residents of the Void Realm and normal living beings!

But honestly, even if Chen Yi had discovered them, he wouldn't have had the time to pay attention to them now.

Four days of continuous, sleepless Breakthrough had exhausted his Mental Energy to the limit.

Although he no longer needed to replenish energy by eating after Tier 14, the mental fatigue was real.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for having accumulated enough energy to achieve godhood!]

[Next, the Host will gradually undergo Fusion with the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Blue Star world, becoming the architect of the rules!]

[Remaining Fusion time: 24 hours!]

"What the hell?"

Chen Yi almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

Twenty-four hours?

There were only two days left until the arrival of the ZERO main body, and you tell me achieving godhood still requires twenty-four hours of Fusion time?

Are you kidding me!

Chen Yi rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to calm his mood.

Calm down, calm down!

Lilian's prophecy said that in most future branches, as long as he followed his own ideas, he would definitely win in the end!

Lilian wouldn't lie to him.

That meant this twenty-four hours of Fusion time must be within the acceptable range of his plan.

"Just purely feel like it's a bit of a scam—"

Chen Yi muttered powerlessly, "Do I need to do anything during the Breakthrough?"

[During the Fusion, the Host does not need to perform any operations; the Breakthrough will be completed once the countdown ends!]

"Alright then, going back."

Chen Yi stood up and took a palm-sized silver mirror from his bosom.

By using this mirror for mirror movement, he could instantly return to Hua Liuli's side.

However, just as Chen Yi was about to activate the teleportation formula in the mirror, the mirror surface suddenly lit up on its own.

Hua Liuli's face appeared in the mirror.

"Chen Yi, something bad has happened!"

"The Korean battlefield where Shi Yuying is located is currently being besieged by the Japanese SSS-Rank Beast Tamer Abe Jinshi and the SSS-rank Bloodline Takashi Saomiao!"

"They seem to have found out from somewhere about Shi Yuying's identity as a woman disguised as a man, and they are absolutely furious!"

"The other party seems to want to take this opportunity to kill her, to kill the one who betrayed Japan!"

Chen Yi's pupils contracted sharply.

---

Time rewind to half an hour ago.

West coast of the Korean Peninsula, Incheon battlefield.

This was originally one of the front lines where the Dragon Kingdom and the ZERO forces were confronting each other, stationed with a full-strength brigade of the Dragon Kingdom's Seventh Beast Tamer Legion, as well as thirty high-level Spirit Beasts transferred from various places.

Shi Yuying had arrived here three days ago, using a feint as an excuse to divert ZERO's attention.

At this moment, Shi Yuying was hovering above the coastline.

Standing opposite her were two people.

A man and a woman.

The man was Abe Jinshi, Japan's only SSS-Rank Beast Tamer, Twelfth Tier, Tenth Stage.

He looked about fifty years old, short in stature, with an ordinary face, wearing traditional Japanese hunting clothes, and holding a seemingly plain folding fan in his hand.

The woman was Takashi Saomiao, Abe Jinshi's Contracted Spirit Beast, SSS-rank Bloodline. She had a slender figure, wore a water-blue kimono, her long hair reaching her waist, surrounded by rich water-attribute spiritual power, and was also at the Twelfth Tier, Tenth Stage.

Except for being a bit nauseating to look at, there was no fault to be found in her power!

And Shi Yuying was currently being suppressed by these two.

"Traitor!"

Abe Jinshi's voice was calm, yet carried a bone-chilling coldness, "Betraying Japan, taking away six SS-rank Bloodline juniors, and now working for the Dragon Kingdom, Shi Yuying, do you know your crime?"

Shi Yuying looked at him coldly, her whole body trembling slightly, not speaking.

Not because of fear, but because of powerlessness.

Abe Jinshi's SSS-Rank Talent — Return to Truth, was suppressing her crazily.

Return to Truth, an extremely special type of Talent!

Targets locked by this Talent cannot activate any skills, Divine Abilities, or secret techniques, and other individuals' abilities targeting this target cannot be activated either!

In other words, Shi Yuying at this moment could only rely on pure Physical Body strength to fight!

It could be said to be an extremely disgusting skill!

And her opponents — Abe Jinshi and Takashi Saomiao could use all their abilities without restraint.

This was the terror of Japan's strongest Beast Tamer combination.

It did not win by power, but by crushing opponents through the changing of rules.

"Not speaking?"

Abe Jinshi smiled slightly, "Then I will make you shut up forever."

As his voice fell, Takashi Saomiao moved instantly.

She did not use any flashy skills, just raised her slender fingers and pointed lightly at Shi Yuying.

A water arrow shot out from her fingertips!

Shi Yuying dodged sideways.

The water arrow grazed her cheek, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

"Oh? You dodged it?"

Takashi Saomiao was somewhat surprised, "Worthy of being our Japan's Prodigy, even with her power suppressed, she can still perform such actions—"

Shi Yuying did not respond.

She wiped the blood from her cheek, her eyes full of solemnity.

She had already sent a distress signal.

But Abe Jinshi's Return to Truth not only suppressed her abilities but also suppressed all external aid directed at her.

Hua Liuli's mirror teleportation could not lock onto her location, and Emilia's long-distance space jump could not accurately target her either.

If relying on flying, the fastest estimated arrival would take about an hour, and she couldn't hold out until then!

The only one who could come to save her was probably Chen Yi!
