Chapter 434: Difficulty choice (1)
Along with the announcement, any evolved lifeform in Cloud Peak was wrapped in light. A moment later, they appeared on that giant wheel in the sky.
When the people appeared, they realized that the wheel was shockingly huge. They thought it was the size of a castle previously, but now it looked like a super castle.
The wheel size was shocking, but the structure was very simple. Five giant steps were placed there, and each was magnified several times. They stood on the first step and looked at the second and fifth steps.
“What is this place?”
“Damn, what happened? Are we in the sky?”
“We are split off from the other teams. What is that light barrier?”
“Wang Lu? Didn’t you fall and die from the siege? Why did he appear here? But, ya, he is not breathing.”
“This barrier can’t be broken.”
“Look there, why are two people in one team? Do you recognize them?”
Apart from the Glory Army, which was like a military force, the other factions panicked. They didn’t know what was happening and were terrified about what would happen.
Anyone who was forced into such a place would panic. Moreover, whichever things had to do with the wheel weren’t bloody? They were used to hunting and spinning the wheels, but facing this brand-new and unknown wheel, they were once again very uneasy.
Ye Zhongming glanced at the giant step that was split into seven regions. Based on the information in his mind, each region represented one faction.
But Ye Zhongming had questions; the wheel said there were seven factions.
Cloud Peak, Soul Merchant, Glory Army, God Hall, Unicorn Freedom Army, and Cannibal Chain were only six. Who was the seventh?
Any evolved in Cloud Peak’s territory would be shifted here, so Ye Zhongming naturally found the answer.
At the corner of the first step were two cold-looking guys. They looked around warily. But Ye Zhongming was still able to sense their auras easily.
Six stars! Two six stars!
Ye Zhongming frowned and realized he had missed two crucial words.
“Number of complete level-six lifeforms, seven.”
Before this, he had missed out on the word complete, so he thought that the seven represented Red Hair, Soul Merchant’s Deputy Chou Zisong, Glory Army’s Cheng Tianji, God Hall’s Green Back, Unkempt Monster and Earthworm, as well as someone who was still hiding.
But now it seemed like these two mysterious people were six-star. Ye Zhongming knew that his conjecture was wrong. The complete level-six lifeforms included these two.
So apart from these two, Red Hair, Chou Zisong, Cheng Tianji, etc., who were the other two?
Ye Zhongming used his Soul Refining Technique to look around and confirmed that the earthworm was one. But he still couldn’t find out who the other was. Also, why were those two six-star evolved here? Those two questions added some uncertainty to his heart.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming had differing opinions towards God Hall. At least in Ying City, God Hall’s strength was enough to go up against Soul Merchant and Glory Army. Maybe because they were low profile and he could not come into contact with them in the last life, or was it because his rebirth had caused changes, too?
Chou Zisong and Cheng Tianji couldn’t keep calm anymore. This should have been a one-sided slaughter, but now everyone ended up in this mysterious, cut-off space. They knew this wasn’t the time to keep calm unless the two of them were stupid. They had to calm their men and search around this space, but they couldn’t find anything.
It didn’t feel good to be exposed and not in control.
The two six-star evolved even asked Ye Zhongming, but he looked at them calmly and didn’t bother.
These two didn’t like the barrier that blocked everything except for noise.
Weng--
A two-meter-tall white wheel appeared in front of each faction. They were split into four pieces, and each had a color. They were white, green, yellow, and red.
Below the wheel, there was a hole to put in crystals. But there was only one.
“What is that?”
The moment the wheel appeared, all the factions surrounded their own. They knew that this was the key to getting out.
Ye Zhongming didn’t look at the wheel as he knew what it was for. He walked towards Yellow Ball, the Liao Brothers, and the others injured. He removed the Saint Water from the Secret Realm and started healing them.
Ye Zhongming knew about the saint water’s effects. This white liquid had mysterious energy. Including Yellow Ball’s injuries, apart from those who lost limbs and would become handicapped, the others healed up. Although their stamina didn’t reach previous levels, it was enough to impress the others from Cloud Peak.
One just had to look at the active Yellow Ball running around its master to know that. This dog was previously so badly injured that even Park Xiuying couldn’t do anything about it.
“Zhongming, what is going on?”
Xia Lei looked at how calm her guy was and asked.
Ye Zhongming thought about it and focused on the Cloud Peak members around him.
“Due to my inability, I have caused all of you to suffer. As the person responsible, I have to apologize.” His voice wasn’t loud, but enough for the four thousand people here to hear him.
What was the apocalypse? It was a place where life wasn’t valuable. The other factions had a slave-and-master relationship between their members and their leader. Some better ones would have a societal caste system. But very few were like Cloud Peak, whose leaders had a leader-subordinate relationship.
This was one of the reasons why they were so united.
Now that they heard their legendary figure apologize to them, the Cloud Peak warriors couldn’t accept that and tried to stop him.
“I was nearby a few days ago and could have rushed back, but I didn’t. I appeared only today, so I apologize for that, too.”
