Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 556: Battle Paused

"Chen Lan is right. Since they’re attacking us, it’s only natural we fight back, otherwise, we’ll look like easy targets."

"But the Celestial Domain is not an easy adversary. The ones who came this time might just be the tip of the iceberg. If we counterattack, we’ll face even stronger and more numerous enemies."

"Heh, so what? At worst, we’ll just kill them all. Are we really afraid to hit back after being bullied? What is that about!"

"Chiyou, your temper is too fiery, calm down a bit."

The crowd debated among themselves, and Nuwa and Pangu both felt the matter was too precarious. They’ve wandered outside the Celestial Domain for millions of years, killing countless members of the Evil Race, yet they still couldn’t glimpse the true power of the heavens and the Celestial Domain.

The ones who came this time might just be the tip of the iceberg. The half-step divine realm is only the beginning; there may be true gods or even higher levels. An impulsive attack would be sending oneself into a trap, leading to the annihilation of the entire army.

Yet Chiyou and the Beast Ancestor have explosive tempers and love fighting. These two could hardly wait to charge in and make the Celestial Domain and the heavens wail.

Chen Lan listened to everyone’s discussion, lost in thought. Nuwa and Pangu were right; this required careful consideration.

In the memories of the Bloodthirsty Venerable, there were countless mysterious powerful beings, stronger than himself. God-level realms in the Celestial Domain and the heavens were no surprise; many had broken through, and even more terrifying realms existed, given that the heavens have existed for countless eons.

There were countless powerful beings among them, and any one of the ancient beings could wake up and eradicate everyone on Blue Star. Even he was no match for them.

"It indeed requires consideration," Chen Lan said gravely before smiling again. "Everyone is tired. Let’s first sort through today’s spoils and reorganize. Let’s discuss the attack another day, shall we?"

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. It’s true they should regroup; nearly every member of the Evil Race had a Storage Ring, filled with immeasurable resources. It was enough to enhance everyone’s combat power, especially the Blue Star people.

Quickly, everyone spontaneously cleaned up the battlefield, collecting all the resources together to enhance their strength collectively.

Chen Lan alone came to the Desolate Celestial Realm, watching the Demon Race busy building the ancient teleportation array. He was lost in thought.

The grand array was about to take shape; if it could be used, it would allow them to reach the Celestial Domain through it.

Even if it didn’t work, he also had the coordinates of the Celestial Domain in his mind to set up the ancient teleportation array himself.

"Your daughter is in the Celestial Domain, so you’re eager to save her, right?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Chen Lan, and he knew who it was without turning around.

"How did you know?" Chen Lan smiled helplessly and turned to look at the Beast Ancestor.

Unexpectedly, others knew about it too.

"You know, I also perform Soul Search. I extracted the soul of an Evil Race member and learned this secret." The Beast Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, smiling lightly at Chen Lan, then solemnly looked at the ancient teleportation array on the ground, "So, you’ve known about the teleportation array? You didn’t tell because you wanted to go alone?"

"Yes and no. Alone, I might not manage, but I also don’t want to drag you all down," Chen Lan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Originally, he intended for everyone to go. One was for revenge, to strike back at the Celestial Domain and the heavens. The other was for his daughter, albeit he’s not sure if she is really his daughter, yet he must go see for himself.

But the second reason he hadn’t disclosed to others, wanting to secretly execute it, hoping to use everyone to fulfill his personal aim.

But after hearing what Nuwa and Pangu said, he realized that everyone had their concerns.

After all, they had no other objectives. In comparison to revenge, they preferred to guard a planet and live peacefully. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Who would want to risk their life to challenge two unknown worlds and face unknown mighty foes?

Seeing others hesitate, Chen Lan changed his mind. Instead of dragging everyone to the Celestial Domain, it was better if he went alone; if he died, it would only be him, not implicating others.

"I’ll accompany you," the Beast Ancestor said.

Hearing this, Chen Lan was slightly surprised, a faint smile emerging as he looked at the Beast Ancestor with gratitude in his eyes, overwhelmed with emotions and at a loss for words.

"Don’t look at me like that. I’m not helping you; I just want to spar with the Celestial Domain’s powerful beings. I wasn’t satisfied with the last battle." The Beast Ancestor avoided Chen Lan’s gaze, looking at the teleportation array.

"No, thank you for the kind gesture. I want to go alone and see; if I meet someone unbeatable, I can flee on my own."

Hearing this, the Beast Ancestor was silent. Chen Lan made a valid point; his strength wasn’t as great as Chen Lan’s. If they encountered powerful enemies, Chen Lan would end up saving him.

Going alone was always preferable to bringing along a burden. If it were him, he’d think the same. Preferring to advance alone.

The benefit of going solo is that one person eats and the whole family isn’t hungry.

With Chen Lan alone, there would be no danger; no one else would be endangered.

"Alright then, good luck. If you need help, just ask," the Beast Ancestor said before leaving.

Chen Lan was filled with conflicting emotions but still decided not to involve others. Blue Star’s overall strength was still too weak; attacking back would only be a path to destruction.

"First, find Elder Destiny; matters of the Celestial Domain can wait," Chen Lan muttered to himself.

Whether that person is his daughter isn’t clear for now. The Celestial Domain’s people certainly wouldn’t kill her, as they intend to use her as a hostage.

His master and the daughter he hasn’t met and isn’t sure is real, saving the master comes first.

The premise is to improve his mastery of the Time Path.

...

Celestial Domain.

The space tunnel opened, and Artax stumbled out miserably. His face was filled with terror and panic as he staggered towards a tall tower.

Inside was the ruler of the Celestial Domain—the Celestial Emperor!

"Celestial Emperor, Celestial Emperor!"

Artax rushed all the way to the top floor of the tower, repeatedly calling out the Celestial Emperor’s name.

Along the way, countless Evil Race members saw his disheveled appearance and were amazed.

"Isn’t that Artax? Wasn’t he with General Rokaka to eradicate the Demon Slayer?"

"Yes, how come he’s here like this, panicked—as if something major happened?"

"Could it be that the Demon Slayer wasn’t defeated, but instead, they encountered an incident?!"

"Impossible, with tens of billions of the Evil Race army, millions of doomsday ships, General Rokaka personally leading them, and several seniors with them, how could they possibly lose?"

"But Artax’s return is so suspicious; apart from defeat, I can’t think of another reason."

A bad feeling rose in everyone’s heart. Could the Evil Race army truly have been defeated?

Why see only Artax return and not General Rokaka? Could it be that Rokaka...

Died at the hands of the Demon Slayer?!
