World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1442 - 331: Triumph (Part 2)
Fortunately, he wasn’t the only one working on the spaceship repairs. Ziwei claimed she couldn’t repair the spaceship, but that was in comparison to professional repair crews.
After all, she had served in the Unified Department Navy, so she had some understanding of basic mechanical principles.
With the repair plans in the database, entrusting the more difficult steps to her shouldn’t be a problem.
The repair plan was already on the schedule, but it hadn’t started immediately because Zhang Xiaoman still needed to handle some other matters first.
...
Erin Continent, Human Kingdom, Tarata Royal City.
The return of the Unshacklers brought hope to the kingdom’s high ranks. After learning of their triumphant victory, Romel personally left the Imperial Palace to welcome them.
The streets were decorated with lights, a ten-mile red carpet, and the fragrance of flowers spreading for a hundred miles, while all the residents cheered for the return of the heroes.
Although they didn’t know the truth of the matter, the Royal City revealed that the Unshacklers went on a great mission, eliminated the Beast Race’s leader and army, achieving an unprecedented victory for humans and the Alliance.
Thus, the crowd cheered as well.
The tail end of the Divine Presence Festival was captured by the people, and the joyous atmosphere on the streets was somewhat influenced by this festival.
However, what these people didn’t know was that the gods they worshipped during the Divine Presence Festival were actually the masterminds behind everything, secretly absorbing this world’s nutrients.
And they themselves were nothing more than a herd of sheep being reared.
If it weren’t for the efforts of the Unshacklers, if it weren’t for McCarthy’s sacrifice, these people would probably be experiencing the most despairing times right now.
Their history, their faith, their world were all fake, all fabricated illusions.
It was all just a deception.
But sometimes, being kept in the dark is also a kind of luck. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
At least in the eyes of these people, life still goes on as it always has.
No conspiracy, no sorrow, no death, and certainly no devastating truth.
What casts a shadow over the joyous atmosphere is the fall of the Human Kingdom’s Holy Demon Master, McCarthy Larentra.
The Guardian of the Human Kingdom, the Legendary Mage who protected Adren for nearly three centuries, bowed out silently. His death wasn’t even described in detail, and no body was left behind.
People might forget him in time. Perhaps bards will continue to sing about McCarthy’s stories, spreading them across the world with the wind.
Unfortunately, the immortality of heroes is ultimately just a legend. The harsh reality is the main theme of this world.
Upon hearing this news, Fox locked himself in a secret chamber for a full seven days. When he emerged, energy surged through the world, and an icy pupil opened above the Royal City; he had broken through to the Ninth Rank.
In the Human Clan, a new Holy Demon Master was born.
And that icy blue pupil only lasted for a moment, unnoticed even by someone at the Holy Rank like Regina; only the exceptionally perceptive Zhang Xiaoman and Ziwei noticed.
The two exchanged a glance, realizing the Frost Goddess was once again paying attention here.
They didn’t know why a deity would focus on this planet, but since Fox broke through to the Ninth Rank, they had their own suspicions.
Perhaps Fox, in some way, inherited McCarthy’s faith, connected with the Ninth Rank deity, and became a new follower.
"I can feel it. The teacher’s soul hasn’t been annihilated. Although his body no longer exists, his soul has returned to the embrace of the goddess, becoming her servant..."
"And I have inherited the teacher’s will, becoming a follower of the Frost Goddess. I am willing to follow the teacher’s path and guard this continent with my life..."
Fox openly declared his faith and revealed his new identity as McCarthy Larentra’s last disciple, the new Guardian of the Human Kingdom.
Zhang Xiaoman was very pleased with this.
As for how Fox connected with the Frost Goddess and became her follower, Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t particularly concerned about it.
Because Zhang Xiaoman felt his development didn’t require reliance on these deities; he wanted to grow the Star Alliance with his own strength.
Conversely, getting involved with these deities and exposing oneself to their field of view wasn’t something Zhang Xiaoman was foolish enough to do.
He had too many secrets, and there’s no way he would allow a deity of unknown elements, who could take his life at will, to observe him.
As for allies, he felt that having Ni Yang was enough.
Although Ni Yang had a penchant for showing off and bragging, and had a strong sense of pride, its strength was undeniably powerful.
Just from its ability to imprison the Old God Orestox with one move and suppress Alfarld in its Divine Soul state, its power could be seen.
Moreover, having spent so much time with Ni Yang, Zhang Xiaoman had developed a certain understanding of each other.
Compared to those mysterious and incalculable external gods, their little dragon who loved bragging was much cuter.
"It’s a pity that Ni Yang still hasn’t awakened. It seems last time’s action consumed it greatly..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked helplessly at the green little dragon still asleep within the Sect Leader Jade, feeling deeply guilty.
However, he currently had no better solutions.
To wake it, he needed to nurture it with its original form.
But now, trapped in the Second Universe, he couldn’t reach the Divine Ancient Star; naturally, he couldn’t use the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he had to help it recover.
"Don’t worry, Ni Yang, I’ve found a way to the gathering area of the Dark Spirits. I believe once I get there, I’ll be able to find traces of the Dimension Rift and return soon..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of rock and endless abyss, seeing the distant place in the Dark Spirit Star Domain.
...
"Ji Xing, I want you to help me resurrect Acatus. He shouldn’t have fallen like this..."
One morning, Regina came to Zhang Xiaoman, expressing her intentions.
Zhang Xiaoman knew that she had been pondering this issue for days.
Concerning the death of Great Druid Acatus, it was a loss to the entire Elf Clan, marking the darkest days for them recently.
What Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t comprehend was why these elves hesitated so long about resurrecting Acatus.
If it were on Water Blue Star, there wouldn’t be much hesitation; most people wouldn’t agonize and would directly choose to resurrect their deceased loved ones, even if they returned as the Undead.
But people in this world were different, especially these elves.
To them, resurrecting the dead as the Undead was a desecration, a disrespect to the deceased, even if the dead themselves might not wish to continue existing in such a manner.
Though Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t understand how they derived that the deceased themselves wouldn’t want it.
Ultimately, it’s their custom and choice, and he didn’t want to interfere.
However, today, the Elf Queen seemed to have come to terms, coming forward to request the resurrection of her uncle as the Undead.
"As you wish, but resurrecting High-level Undead is different from low-level Undying beings; some preparations are needed..."
"Coincidentally, I’m planning a trip to the Abyss. It’s a very suitable place for summoning High-level Undead, and if you have the time, you can come with me."
