80: Returning a century later, Starshine and Sparks

A piercing scream, like metal rending stone, accompanied a giant shadow falling from the sky.

Tang Ping sped down the almost ninety-degree steep slope from the giant peak column, and just as he neared the Great Emperor Moth, he leaped onto its back!

The Great Emperor Moth flapped its wings in a panic, its four blood-colored eye patterns on its back flashing with an eerie golden light.

That mesmerizing glow made Tang Ping feel an instant dizziness, almost causing him to loosen his grip and fall off its body. He was startled and immediately became more vigilant of the Great Emperor Moth.

"I didn't expect this Great Emperor Moth to have psychic attack capabilities," Tang Ping gripped the Great Emperor Moth tightly, his eyes even more excited. This Great Fluttering Moth was even more powerful than he imagined!

That psychic attack just now almost got him, even with the B-rank transcendent item, the Psychic Drill!

Screech!!!

The Great Emperor Moth flapped its wings, finally stopping its descent. Its entire body ascended, as if it knew Tang Ping couldn't fly and wanted to use this to shake him off.

"You want to shake me off? Today, you'll obey whether you want to or not!"

"I've claimed you as my flying mount!" Tang Ping laughed, enduring the fierce wind.

A Soul Shattering Nail, as the Great Emperor Moth flew higher, pierced it again!

Screech!!!

A scream rang out. The Great Emperor Moth's heart was now filled with fear. It spun its body frantically, trying to shake off the two-legged insect on its back.

But how could Tang Ping give the Great Emperor Moth that chance?

After repeated entanglement seventeen or eighteen times, the Great Emperor Moth finally became exhausted.

And perhaps due to multiple attacks from the Red Lotus Demonic Flame, a fiery red lotus occasionally flashed in its pupils, as if branded deep within the Great Emperor Moth's spirit.

"Submission, or death," Tang Ping stared at the Great Emperor Moth with burning eyes.

The Great Emperor Moth, lying on the ground, whimpered pitifully and lowered its head.

It submitted, it submitted long ago.

I was already preparing to land and show my submission, but you still stabbed me so many times, boo hoo hoo (；′⌒`) .

Unfortunately, the Great Emperor Moth currently doesn't have the ability for psychic communication, which generally only comes at Level Five.

Tang Ping, of course, didn't know the Great Emperor Moth's thoughts. He just nodded in satisfaction, having finally won. It wasn't in vain that he used the Soul Shattering Nail eighteen times: "Very good, you'll follow me from now on. Trust me."

"In the future, I will definitely let your Talent be upgraded to an S-rank Monarch's Domain!"

Tang Ping was very confident about this. Players' talent upgrade stones could also be used by these Pollution Beasts. Don't forget, he previously had a Shelter that was bound to a large tree.

Being able to bind a Shelter naturally meant that player items could be used.

However, compared to the talent upgrade stone, Tang Ping remembered an even better item: the crystal of imperial authority.

It was simply too perfect a match for the Great Emperor Moth's Talent.

The Great Emperor Moth seemed to understand, its eyes showing some excitement as it rubbed against Tang Ping ingratiatingly.

In the Great Emperor Moth's view, Tang Ping's strength was far, far greater than its own, so his words naturally carried a lot of weight.

Whether the big pie could be eaten didn't matter for now, at least it had to be big enough.

"From now on, you'll be called Da Huang. It suits your name quite well," Tang Ping gave it a very fitting name.

The Great Emperor Moth chirped twice in agreement, like a little dog trying to please its owner.

"Let's go, we're going to find the treasure chest."

Suddenly, Tang Ping felt a sense of detachment in his consciousness. He was startled, followed by a surge of pleasant surprise.

It didn't disappear, hahahaha, his heaven-defying cheat didn't disappear.

"Da Huang, quick, land first."

He placed the Shelter on the ground and turned to go inside. This time, because it happened so suddenly, the things he had prepared earlier couldn't be buried in a timely manner.

But there was no rush; he could prepare them next time. It seemed he now returned to the future once every three days, staying in the future for three days each time.

His consciousness detached and entered an unknown place, but this time, Tang Ping no longer saw simple darkness. In that profound darkness, there seemed to be countless indescribable colors flashing.

But looking closely, it seemed there was only black.

Before Tang Ping could focus on this miraculous phenomenon, when he woke up, he had already returned to a hundred years later... Third Ring, District 22, Chunxiao Wutong Community.

"I'm back again."

Tang Ping enjoyed the sunlight streaming through the window. In this post-apocalyptic Wasteland a hundred years later, there weren't many places where one could enjoy the sunlight.

The Xingyao Safe Zone happened to be one of them.

He also had to thank Empress Yuguang for that.

Although Tang Ping didn't know who this Empress Yuguang was.

Opening his phone, Tang Ping went online to check if there were any changes in the Xingyao Safe Zone and its vicinity.

Especially the Taohai Safe Zone. He had killed the Poison Empress, so the Taohai Safe Zone should no longer suffer heavy losses due to the Poison Empress, and Taohai Heavenly King's S-rank Talent brother should also not have fallen.

As he scrolled, Tang Ping gradually learned about the changes in history.

The Xingyao Safe Zone hadn't changed much.

But nearby, the Taohai Safe Zone, originally occupied by Empress Lihua of Shengtian Group, had not disappeared!

Moreover, a Spark Safe Zone had appeared!

The Spark Safe Zone was not simple; it not only had two Heavenly King Level Expert, but one of them, Empress Yue Xi, was even listed as one of the Ten Great Empresses!

Her strength was unfathomable.

As for the other Heavenly King Level Expert, he was the Gengjin Heavenly King, Mo An, who was said to have integrated a rare metal, allowing his Talent to upgrade to S-rank.

The three Safe Zones, though independent, formed a united front because of the nearby Shengtian Group, a Hegemon-level Power in this doomsday Wasteland. So the three Safe Zones banded together for warmth.

And they established a council called the Star Council.

The members of the Star Council included Taohai Heavenly King and Yunlan Heavenly King from the Taohai Safe Zone.

Empress Yue Xi and Gengjin Heavenly King from the Spark Safe Zone.

Celestial Empress of Azure Heaven, Molten Flame Heavenly King, Empress Yuguang, and, Sister Wang from the Star Glory Council!

Tang Ping's eyes showed surprise. The members of the Star Council were all Heavenly King Level and Empress Level Experts. For Sister Wang to be able to join, she must also possess comparable strength!

That meant it was highly likely that, relying on the Xuan Yuan Breathing Technique, Sister Wang had mastered another type of ability that, while not a Talent, surpassed a Talent!

The three Safe Zones formed a triangular region, each acting as a strategic point.

Within this area, almost all Infected and Pollution Beasts had been cleared out.

The remaining ones were mostly small Pollution Beasts like Earth Worms, toothed sparrows, and gray rats, which posed little threat to ordinary people.

Therefore, within this area, even ordinary people could travel freely.

There were even some villages established!

The three Safe Zones also exchanged resources, and their strength was considerably greater than other Safe Zones.

The Xingyao Safe Zone had cheap food.

The Taohai Safe Zone had abundant water sources.

The Spark Safe Zone had a variety of potions.

With the three Safe Zones united, their foundation grew exponentially.

Even the Shengtian Group couldn't just wipe them out at will.

What's more, the Xingyao Safe Zone also had intricate ties with the Xuan Yuan Temple.

After understanding the current situation, Tang Ping closed his phone and was about to go out when an unfamiliar call interrupted him.

"Your name is Tang Ping, right? I know you have a Shelter, but you only have an E-rank Talent, right?"

"Who are you?" Tang Ping narrowed his eyes.

"I mean no harm. I'm waiting for you at the Blood Jasmine Teahouse. Perhaps we can talk."
