Star Gate

There wasn’t only one singular future!

Long Zhan looked around with blood-red eyes, a slightly crazed look in them. There was more than one future...?

Then... I shall... fight once more!

Li Hao... you are the only person in the entire chaos who I feel that I can trust in this moment. How ludicrous and sad is this?!

“All of you can die!” Long Zhan snarled, expanding his body to its utmost. His tail snapped with a roar and detonated his body. The resulting explosion obliterated the three ninth rank replicas!

“Chaos race, fight!” Long Zhan screamed with desperation. “Fight until you die! Our kind will not be exterminated! Since there is no place for us in the chaos, we will battle until our end here!

“Fight to the death!”

The crazed wail echoed through the four directions. It was answered by a phoenix cry and saddened fox howl. Shadows appeared in the void, formidable and incomparable. All of the powerful existences were erupting with full strength.

Since there was no way ahead for them, then they would fight to the bitter end here!

Long Zhan broke off his tail and took out the three replicas with an explosion. He spontaneously returned to human form and punched—his fist was breaking apart as well. He pummeled the wavering shadow of the shadow master’s replica and completely annihilated it!

Endless shadowy energy spread throughout the void.

The remaining two ninth ranks jerked with horror. Long Zhan really was putting everything on the line! Was he really going to bury his people today?!

Why would he do that??

He had a chance of getting away! The others might not chase him if he fled. Why was he being so determined?

Boom!

Long Zhan seemed to have completely lost his mind. He punched again while a dragon croon echoed through the land. The shadow of the second replica was annihilated. The dao master of corrosion was annihilated!

The third one, the dao master of wind, couldn’t help but roar, “We’re just replicas and you’re a primary body! If you die...”

Kaboom!

Another explosion rang out. Long Zhan had depleted his blood qi and exhausted all of his resources. There was no longer anything he had misgivings about.

A Long Zhan with absolutely nothing keeping him in check was horrifyingly strong!

He punched!

The firmament shattered and gale winds tore at him. Whoosh!

Another explosion sounded as a hurricane churned through the chaos. Long Zhan demolished it with another punch, accompanied by the demise of his body. Blood flowed freely from his body as he turned around. He stared wordlessly at Li Hao.

“Send two more people...” Skyward’s eyes widened. “Save Li Hao!”

Damn it! Why was the dragon losing its mind too??

It’s better for you to run than to go down fighting! What’s with this group of humans and beasts?? Why do all of them gonberserk?! What kind of magic does Li Hao have?? It feels like anyone who comes in contact with him eventually loses their sanity!

Why is that??

Long Zhan would rather see the extinction of his race than give up fighting. Skyward’s head threatened to explode with a headache. What a completely unreasonable bunch of people!

Only Li Hao smiled with good spirits. I told you guys that only when Long Zhan lacks any reservations will he become stronger.

This is just like I said!

......

The battle situation reversed in the blink of an eye, just like the human heart did. Such was the chaos!

There were no eternal enemies and no perspectives that remained forever unchanging. There was also the current state of affairs, profits, and the future...

One should not seek to make friends here, because there were no friends to be had. They were so rare and hard to come by. Who was friends with whom in the vast chaos?

They were nowhere to be seen!

Long Zhan’s presence had built to an utmost. Even though chaos dao was still reverberating and the chaos was still suppressing him, his presence was entirely magnificent. Perhaps he’d recovered human form in order to conceal his broken tail.

None of that was important anymore!

He’d let it all go.

There were too many constraints on Long Zhan.

Even Li Hao had been able to threaten the dragon with the future of the chaos race, forcing Long Zhan into the abyss of despair. And now today... there was no future left for the chaos beasts. Ninth ranks could easily suppress his great dao and extinguish his race’s light.

There is no path left for me!

It is Li Hao who is establishing his chaos today and him who is scheming against the myriad of worlds, but only my people who are hurt from any of these developments. And that is because... we are weak.

How unfair is this?!

“The great dao is unjust... No, the great dao and chaos universe has never treated my kind fairly!” Long Zhan hung his head with dejection and despair!

Why do ninth ranks have to integrate with chaos dao when they become part of dao?

Why must my race be only born from the chaos?

Why is there no world within existence that is controlled by chaos beasts, why do we have to steal them?

Why?!

It is this universe that is unfair, this great dao that is unjust, and these powerhouses that are prejudiced!

Since they are so discriminatory, then let there be another chaos!

Long Zhan had thought things through. Or rather, he had no choices left to him in the depths of his despair. What else could he do if he didn’t agree to Li Hao’s proposal?

Flee?

But chaos beasts were still subject to the constraints of chaos dao. What would they do tomorrow if he fled today?

And the day after that?

Incredible battles broke out on a frequent basis these days and ninth ranks continuously descended upon the chaos. Did he... have any other path left to him?

Eight thousand dao rules?

That was strong, but what of it?

However, Long Zhan knew that Li Hao’s planned future would still be dominated by humanity. The future emperor that he’d summoned before had been human.

At the same time, the future could change!

In that case, my chaos race can meld our dao and spirit with the heavens. Can I reverse our destiny if I incorporate eighth rank strength, my body, and spirit into the new chaos?

I don’t know!

But I do know that there are still choices available to us in the future! It won’t be a desolate landscape of bitterness and despair that it is now!

“Fight!” Long Zhan raised his head high and shouted. “There is nothing much to the ninth ranks! What can replicas do against me? They meld with chaos dao and strip spirit from the chaos. This is a feud that can never be put to rest!

“KILL!”

The heavens were punctured!

It was like the chaos itself was vomiting blood. Long Zhan was completely maddened as he took to the air and flew outward, punching through worlds like his fist was a golden dragon. He charged the ninth rank replicas!

The great dao over his head shook madly, but he refused to retreat.

He’s crazy!

Another one’s gone mad!

That was the only thing that the ninth ranks could think of. Caught in the midst of fighting various heavyweights, Disorder looked on with glee. Good, crazy was good!

The crazier these people were and the more they fought each other, the more people would die and the universe shake. That would make him stronger.

The more unrest there was in this age, the better!

“Hah, dream on if you want to stop me!” He roared with laughter.

Boom!

The power of disorder swept through the area, ushering ninth ranks away from it. Some replicas that retreated slower abruptly froze. It was Disorder’s first time utilizing the power of time!

Time seemed to be stronger in his hands than in Li Hao’s. All of time froze for a split second! Disorder beamed with joy.

So this is time!

He didn’t care that the hair at his temples had turned white. What was a little consumption of lifespan worth?

I’m going to be invincible and unparalleled!

Boom!

He ripped apart the firmament with his bare hands and froze another ninth rank in place. The ninth rank’s blood sprayed across the void when Disorder ripped him apart.

Battle continued at a maddened pace.

The Skyward master shuttled between the void. The expression on his face was extremely ugly. Disorder could use the abilities of time now! If this continued... he might be able to kill all of the ninth rank replicas!

The key was, their primary bodies couldn’t descend at the moment due to how badly chaos dao was shaking.

“Stop holding back what you have left!” he shouted. “All of us have powerhouses under our banners, have them all emerge from seclusion and suppress Disorder! Must you wait until he fully controls time and kills us all?!”

Apart from the five elemental envoys, Five Elements overlords, only a few eighth ranks had answered the call when Disorder arrived. Did two dozen ninth ranks command only four eighth ranks?

That was impossible!

Even if one million years had passed, most eighth ranks were asleep, not dead. Not to mention, this really was too few people. There’d been at least three dozen eighth ranks in just the eastern region back in the day.

Arctic Frost had been able to collect a dozen to attack New Martial. Was this all the eighth ranks left in the chaos? In all of their factions? Even if only one eighth rank was left for each ninth rank, that should make for two dozen!
