Chapter 1714: Was He the Last Hope?
Chapter 1714: Was He the Last Hope?
Upon seeing this, a hint of joy appeared in Chen Ling's eyes.
Since the destruction of the previous world was caused by the Red Star shattering Earth and triggering a collapse of civilization... then let's take Earth, which carries civilization, directly with us. This way, the Red Star will not be able to cause a collapse of civilization, and this world can survive.
But Chen Ling soon realized that his idea was too naive. After Earth had been wandering in the universe for a long time, the Crimson Star reappeared. This time, its orbit had changed, and it was intercepting Earth in its flight like a homing missile!
Thus, Tian Shu Jun once again sacrificed himself, transforming into a meteor to forcefully deflect the Crimson Star from its original orbit, thus saving Earth.
This may be the first time in history that humanity has survived the third impact of the Red Star.
However, the good times didn't last long. After Tian Shu Jun crashed into Chi Xing, the world seemed to revert to its original trajectory. A plague broke out, plunging the human realm into chaos. Fortunately, Nan Hai Jun and Dr. Han, who had already achieved demigod status, joined forces to forcibly suppress the plague...
But not long after, the Crimson Star descended for the fourth time...
The Earth has been destroyed again.
Chen Ling stared at the scene in disbelief, as if she had realized something.
So, the trajectory of the Red Star wasn't fixed... Was it always aimed at Earth from the very beginning? If it didn't destroy it the first time, it would turn around and come back a second, a third, a fourth time...
As long as the Earth exists, the Red Star will keep turning its direction until it completely destroys the human civilization it carries, causing the world to collapse!
At that moment, a terrifying thought occurred to Chen Ling.
Could it be...
Akahoshi, possesses self-awareness?
It's like an extremely patient hunter of civilizations, never stopping until it has completely destroyed human civilization.
If that's the case, then no matter how hard humanity tries to escape, it's useless. Even if they manage to evade a second, third, fourth, fifth... even a tenth or eleventh time, the Red Star will still make a comeback.
The only solution is... to completely destroy Red Star!
Having gone through a life-or-death battle, Chen Ling's mental strength had already been exhausted to the extreme. He didn't even have the strength to restart it even once. But now that he had just realized how powerful the Akashic Tower was, how could he be willing to stop now?
Within the shimmering tower, Chen Ling pressed the muzzle of the gun against her temple without hesitation, and then…
Pull the trigger!!
boom--!
Under the power of [Judgment], Chen Ling's head instantly vanished, and his entire body became a lifeless corpse, falling downwards...
[Audience Expectation Value-50]
[Current expected value: 46%]
Two lines of text flashed across the stage, and Chen Ling's lifeless body began to rapidly regenerate!
Endless red paper gathered within the Tower of Akash, outlining Chen Ling's complete body. At the same time, his mental energy, which had been overdrawn and depleted, returned to its peak state!
Without hesitation, he once again channeled the power of the Crimson Star into his body, and a large amount of blood mist exploded from his body!
"continue--!!"
With bloodshot eyes, Chen Ling roared, unleashing the ultimate power of denial once again, forcibly altering the course of the world's development.
In the third simulation, Chen Ling knew that the core objective was to destroy the Crimson Star, so he placed all his bets on Lord Xuanyu... Lord Xuanyu and Lord Tianshu joined forces and directly predicted the trajectory of the Crimson Star, creating a supermassive black hole in the deep space of the universe.
But at the crucial moment, it seemed as if the Red Star had deliberately adjusted its trajectory. The black hole tore apart less than a quarter of its body, while the remaining three-quarters still smashed the Earth into pieces.
In the fourth simulation, Chen Ling bet on Hongchenjun Su Zhiwei. Since the Crimson Star is matter, it must be decomposed by string theory. However, even with their thorough preparations, Hongchenjun could only consume less than one-sixth of the Crimson Star's volume...
the fifth time……
the sixth time……
Starting from the eleventh time, Chen Ling tried to shift her focus to beings other than the Nine Lords.
He arrived at the ancient military camp ahead of time to rescue Bai Qi, found him a suitable body, and helped him complete his rebirth... and then gradually helped him reclaim the power that belonged to him.
In the final battle, the Lord of the South Sea bestowed upon Bai Qi extreme vitality, and the Lord of Wuji transformed himself into armor, draping it over Bai Qi's body. Bai Qi then drew the entire Ancient Treasury of Military Strategy, and alone with his sword, he faced the Crimson Star.
In the end, he managed to shatter one-third of the Crimson Star.
But humanity's fate... remains defeat.
The eighteenth time...
The twenty-fifth time...
Having witnessed Earth's destruction countless times, Chen Ling's mindset had become numb. He realized that no matter how he altered the course of the world, there would be no existence in this world capable of defeating Red Star... Whether in a one-on-one duel or a group battle, the best outcome would be the destruction of nearly half of Red Star.
Until the thirty-seventh rejection, a development that Chen Ling never expected occurred.
That was a Silver King at his peak.
This time, he did not die at the hands of the Red King. He stole the complete Path of the Thief God, and then, after the second impact of the Crimson Star, he secretly stole all the fragments that were scattered after the Crimson Star was knocked away by the Heavenly Pivot Lord.
Although only one fragment of the Crimson Star fell back into the Gray Realm in reality, and it was very small, there were actually many fragments produced after that impact, but most of them were scattered throughout the universe... However, thanks to the Silver King's theft, he collected all of these fragments, which together were equivalent to three times the amount of fragments absorbed by the Nine Lords back then.
Instead of recklessly absorbing the Crimson Star directly, he stole its power in a high-frequency and stable manner. His power increased at an astonishing rate, eventually reaching an unimaginable level...
Then, he began to steal other gods' teachings.
This legendary thief stole ten divine paths in succession, almost single-handedly severing the path to advancement for those ten divine paths, becoming the first demigod in history to master eleven divine paths.
At this time, the Silver King was invincible. Even if the three Nine Lords, including Lingxu Lord, joined forces, they could not defeat him.
When Akahoshi returned for the third time, he did something shocking...
He directly stole the space where Earth is located.
The entire planet was like a candy bean, placed inside the Silver King's blue-black top hat. He carried the Earth through the deep universe, dodging the Red Star, while continuing to steal other divine powers from the Earth.
He single-handedly led Earth through eight attacks by the Red Star, and during this process, his power continued to grow. After stealing the complete Eighteen Divine Paths, he seemed to break through a certain boundary and arrive at an indescribable realm...
The thief, traversing the depths of space, seemed to sense something and looked up at some point in the void...
That was the location where Chen Ling was in the Tower of Akash.
