Chapter 791: Chapter 620 Hell and Heaven
Hell, at its deepest.
Rongka’s grand palace sat atop the swamp of Hell, where the terrifying powers of Hell’s mud were constantly excavated and then stored by Rongka in a place only he knew.
This cloaked old man was always bustling about, hardly resembling an emperor. However, for the rulers of the other layers of Hell, the status of this Eternal Emperor was absolutely unshakable.
Lately, Rongka was in very good spirits, having acquired an interesting toy.
Tilian.
Tilian was a clever man, and Rongka had brought him to Hell solely on Long Yi’s recommendation. At first, Rongka did not know what use Tilian might serve, but as time passed, he increasingly realized that having Tilian by his side was the most perfect decision he’d made in thousands of years. Tilian was a human Crown Prince, who had received a proper imperial education; he was also very intelligent, with a wealth of scientific knowledge; and he was cunning, filled with schemes and conspiracies. Such a person was simply too perfect.
Rongka was always indolent and casual, but on the third day after Tilian arrived in Hell, he couldn’t help but tell Rongka that even a random noble family in the Human Realm was more orderly than this place.
Tilian, by this time, had been completely transformed by the mud of Hell, possessed of unprecedented strength, yet also unable to defy any of Rongka’s orders. But Rongka didn’t restrain Tilian; he just wanted to see how far Tilian could go.
So Rongka directly delegated part of the management authority to Tilian while he was busy persuading the rulers of the other layers of Hell.
He was gone for half a year, and when Rongka returned, he could hardly believe his eyes!
Inside the Imperial Palace, the lax management had become regimented, with each person responsible for only a small portion of the work. The repetition of simple tasks over short periods increased the workers’ proficiency, which resulted in more appropriate outcomes. Rongka’s army was organized for the first time, with different troop types training separately, and there were now managers between the troop types—a change from before when Rongka himself had always given the orders directly.
One had to admit, such management was indeed orderly and provided Rongka with a breath of fresh air.
Then, Rongka, very satisfied, handed over all his management authority to Tilian, while he comfortably went back to his studies. Rongka had never been that keen on managing affairs, and now with Tilian present, he immediately threw himself wholeheartedly into exploring new curiosities. And soon, Tilian also showed great talent in researching these new matters. He invented a variety of monsters that even Rongka himself had not thought of.
One had to say, Rongka hadn’t been this happy in a very long time.
And Tilian, well, he was somewhat bemused, as the prince who carried the reputation of a traitor had turned into an emperor wielding real power in Hell, which was indeed quite unexpected.
At this time, another quite contented group was the Dandi Sisters.
When this band of Dandis returned to Hell, they immediately became the stars of the Blood Ravens. In particular, Dandi 233 became a hero among the Blood Ravens, for she was the first to contact Long Yi and help her sisters break free from Rongka’s control.
By now, Rongka had removed the influence of the mud of Hell on the Blood Ravens as promised. The Giant genes originally implanted in the Blood Ravens were reawakened, and all the Blood Ravens were excitedly awaiting the day they would transform into human forms. However, the process was rather slow.
For this reason, the Dandi sisters came up with a brilliant idea.
They would activate their Giant genes through their own influence!
This idea was something that perhaps only the Dandi sisters could have conceived.
Initially, the Giant had left part of its genes to the Blood Ravens, but these genes were actually very minimal, and unless Long Yi himself was a Giant, normal activation would be difficult to achieve. Even the Dandi sisters couldn’t do it. But, this band of Dandis had a rather remarkable ability.
Fusion.
It should be noted that this group of Dandis originally came from one Dandi. This Blood Raven, called Dandi, gave up its existence and replicated itself into thousands through very special means. And now, there were nearly a hundred thousand Dandi sisters, all named with various numerical codes.
So, the clever Blood Ravens began this process.
First, those Dandis who could take human form began to fuse with each other. To honor Dandi 233’s contribution in the discovery of Long Yi, they decided to use Dandi 233 as the base—of course, as beings originally with web-like thinking, who was the base was merely a matter of name and had no real difference.
Once nearly three hundred Dandis fused together, their power became extremely strong, and the influence of their Giant genes was also potent enough. But to affect every Blood Raven was still challenging. So these humanoid Dandis began affecting their counterparts, who were essentially the same person as the Blood Raven Dandis.
In nearly one night, a hundred thousand Blood Ravens transformed into identical human forms. Since they shared thoughts and knowledge, they all understood exactly what was happening, and then these hundred thousand Dandis began the fusion process once more.
Originally, upon returning to Hell and free from restrictions, Dandi’s strength was already formidable. With continuous fusion, the newly born Dandi had attained a level of strength that was beyond description!
In the end, all hundred thousand Dandis merged into one, becoming the one and only Dandi. Since then, there were no more numbers attributed to Dandi; she was simply Dandi.
The newly born Dandi possessed unprecedented power, exerting a terrifying influence over the entire Blood Raven tribe. The Giant’s genes were rapidly activated and, within a short period of time, the Blood Ravens evolved from an ordinary intelligent species to a high-end intelligent life form.
And in the endless Blood Sea, a new Emperor named Dandi was born.
Even Rongka, the Eternal Emperor, was alarmed by Dandi’s formidable power. Rongka left his favorite research to personally visit the Blood Sea to lay eyes on Dandi. He then told Tilian that Dandi was very powerful, so much so that even Rongka himself, if not fully exerting his effort, might not be her match.
The higher Plane.
The Heaven Realm.
ZThe war of the Celestial Clan finally saw the first light of dawn!
The Celestial Clan scoured the entire higher Plane and eventually discovered a Giant’s literature within a planet. According to the document, they could carry out temporary repairs on the Boundary Monument!
Yes, the repairs were temporary. As time passed, the Boundary Monument might continue to deteriorate, but this was naturally the best outcome compared to being utterly helpless!
The smartest elites of the Heaven Realm were nearly all mobilized to clean and analyze the structure of the Boundary Monument, a device that had been familiar to them for ten thousand years. However, these elites still carefully went through its every detail time and again, afraid of making any mistakes!
For some time, the Ghost Spirits seemed to have intensified their attacks against the Celestial Clan. They must have noticed the problems with the Celestial Clan’s Boundary Monument, as there had been several instances where Ghost Spirit scouts brazenly breached the Boundary Monument. Although the warriors of the Celestial Clan fought desperately to prevent them from nearing the Boundary Monument, a single lapse could lead to a disaster if the Ghost Spirits learned of its malfunction!
Even at such a time, the Emperor of the Celestial Clan was nowhere to be seen. A Crown Prince and two Princesses steadfastly held the frontline, with no one stepping back. Even though they were all unyielding on the matter of the Emperor’s succession, in such times, those concerns were put aside—after all, if the Ghost Spirits broke through the Boundary Monument, it wouldn’t matter who the Emperor was.
However, when the news that the Boundary Monument could be repaired arrived, in addition to joy, Sajia thought of more—the post-war issues.
Once the war ended, political problems would inevitably become a significant topic again. And at that time, the performance of the three individuals would immediately become a criterion for judgment.
Given the current situation, Elsa was undoubtedly the most meritorious one. Her Light Wings had reached an unprecedented sixty-four rays, a formidable power capable of sweeping the entire Heaven Realm. It was likely that even legendary warriors could not compete with this young girl. After all, Elsa’s Light Wings were the strongest white Light Wings! Besides, Nim, her new underling, was like a rising star.
This damned boy came back from the Human Realm with twelve Light Wings all of a sudden!
Even though his Light Wings paled in comparison to Elsa’s sixty-four rays, and they were only red Light Wings, how could one not be shocked or envious of a fool suddenly possessing Light Wings? And the most irritating part was, this bastard had forgotten all the good I did for him and pledged his loyalty to Elsa!
Well, I admit my attitude towards him wasn’t always great, but then your performance usually wasn’t very impressive either, was it? If I had known you had twelve Light Wings, wouldn’t I have used you?
Speaking of this damned Nim, First Prince Sajia was full of anger.
As for wartime merits, aside from Elsa, it would have to be Sajia. This time, Sajia had shown great bravery, enduring multiple injuries; it was no exaggeration to describe his actions as risking life and limb. Although his contributions fell short of Elsa’s, his bravery in sustaining injuries should still merit considerable recognition.
In comparison, Selena was clearly less impressive. Selena’s forte had always been politics, not combat. Despite having taken Elsa’s Heart of Heaven, it was heard that Elsa did not pursue the matter, even calming the Heart of Heaven concealed within Selena’s chest, which was rightfully hers. But Selena was still not adept in combat and didn’t seem very active.
Looking at it this way, my chances of winning this time seemed quite good.
According to the plan, tomorrow should be the last battle. If we can get through tomorrow, the Boundary Monument should be able to function again.
I can finally leave this damn place!
After returning, the first thing would be to rest well for a while, thinking of nothing at all—I’m truly exhausted!
Sajia was still contemplating when suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded! Then came a second alarm! Followed by a third alarm!
