Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Holy War Begins
…
Sally released Little Shiqi from the System Space.
The little guy, after being confined for a few days, became a lot more obedient and was particularly attached to Zi Qi.
“Father, I like you the most, love you the mostest, I will study hard, can we not do the dark room again, please?”
“…Haha, then you better remember what you’re saying now,” Zi Qi said with a smile.
Looking at them, Sally’s heart was full of reluctance, “I really don’t want to go.”
Zi Qi also knew that he couldn’t accompany Sally in this Holy War. Looking into her eyes, he solemnly instructed, “In any case, prioritize your own safety, don’t worry about anything else. In the Holy War, all squads are enemies, without exception.”
“I know.” Sally hugged them both tightly.
“I have already informed Yu Yan and Yin Zang; they remain the selected candidates for this Holy War,” Zi Qi said as he stroked her hair. “Come back soon.”
“I will, right after the Holy War ends, I’ll come straight back.” Sally stood on tiptoe to kiss Zi Qi.
Watching them, Little Shiqi hurriedly puckered up his little lips…
The poignant goodbye atmosphere was completely spoiled by the little guy, turning it into something more amusingly enduring.
“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Ming Linyuan and the others?” Zi Qi asked in a low voice.
“No need. Ming Linyuan is currently busy mining for you, and the others have no memories. I thought Pei Xuan and Zong Silu would be selected, but when Xiaomei was handing in the game data, it exposed the offspring in the Insurance System, so they lost their candidacy.”
“It’s also a blessing in disguise. From another point of view, it means that when the children return to this world, they are acknowledged.”
“Right. Originally, Xiaomei and I were worried that after the time reversal in Beast World, there would be no gestation data for them, and the System might terminate them as ‘illegal residents’ once they were released from the Insurance System. We had prepared ourselves to break away from the Main System again.”
“From the disaster of the Insect Clan to the reversal of time, it’s enough to prove the power of the System.”
Zi Qi looked at Sally, a deep understanding flashing through his purple eyes, “Focus on the Holy War, I’ll be here waiting for you with the children.”
Sally felt even more reluctant, “In those ten thousand years, the person I missed the most was you. Upon returning, the first person I want to see is also you. During my pregnancy with Little Shiqi, I didn’t have a relationship with any man, Little Shiliu is… when my past self merged, he came along with the fetus… Qi, do you understand what I mean?”
Zi Qi was deeply moved; he lifted his hand to cover Little Shiqi’s eyes and bent down to kiss her lips…
Sally left.
Holding Little Shiqi, Zi Qi gazed at the teleportation arrays in the sky.
There were four in total.
Besides Sally, Yu Yan, and Yin Zang, who was the fourth?
The array had also departed from within Beast Emperor City.
Holding Little Shiqi, Zi Qi teleported to the place where the array had left from.
It turned out to be Wanfang Inn.
As soon as Bai Kaixin saw Zi Qi, he immediately greeted him respectfully, “Your Majesty’s presence honors us, a humble one failed to meet you from afar, please forgive me.”
Zi Qi inquired, “Someone just teleported away from here, who was he?”
Bai Kaixin hurriedly opened the inn’s guest registry, flipped to Welly’s page, “To answer Your Majesty, he came from the Northern Region.”
Zi Qi picked up the registry and looked at the name on it, “Welly… could it be him?”
The Dark Continent, the son of the Demon Emperor—the Fifth Demon King, Welly Shar.
“Little Shiqi, do you want to go to the Dark Continent to play with Uncle Lin Yuan?”
“Want, want, want!”
…
Just like the previous Holy War.
Still on Continent 9908 of Lichuan, the forest filled with the bodies of Evil Beasts.
Last time, with Zi Qi’s company, all Sally had to do was rely on him. Moreover, with him present, she feared nothing, not even if the world were to collapse.
Now that her biggest pillar was gone, she had to rely on herself. Sally steadied her mind and asked Xiaomei, “Are the rules the same as last time?”
Xiaomei answered, “There have been no changes so far.”
Three people landed around her.
One was Yu Yan, and the other was Yin Zang.
Neither of them seemed panicked. Especially Yu Yan, who, upon arriving here, immediately regained his memories from the previous Holy War and remained exceptionally calm.
The last one wore a mask on his face and was dressed entirely in grey.
Because Sally had learned the names of the squad members in advance, she directly called out to the person, “Welly Shar.”
Yu Yan also recognized him. In the Dark Continent, Welly had stood by the side of the Demon Emperor, his face also hidden behind that mask.
“Why is there a member of the Demon Clan here?” Yu Yan asked.
Sally was curious as well.
However, Welly didn’t appear to have any intention of explaining.
Sally didn’t ask further and simply said, “Before the Holy War is over, we are all in this together. You can call me Sister Sally. During this Holy War, all operations will follow my lead.”
“Yes,” Yu Yan responded.
This was the first time Yin Zang had met Sally; he observed her as if somewhat skeptical and thus did not respond.
Welly was as quiet as a gourd with its mouth sewn shut.
Sally suddenly felt a headache coming on, really missing Zi Qi…
[Xiaomei, this squad is not easy to lead!]
[This is the Holy War information Xiaomei has compiled; I hope it can help the host.]
[That’s great.]
Sally was about to take it out of the System Space when she suddenly remembered something and looked up at the sky…
She couldn’t see anything, but Sally knew that their every move was being broadcast live through the Shadow Stones in the air!
Therefore, it was not the time to expose the information, as it could cause trouble if they were targeted.
“Let’s move on,” Sally said, leading the way.
Upon encountering Evil Beasts, there was no need for Sally to speak; Yu Yan and Yin Zang took the initiative to act.
Welly did not move.
After another group of Evil Beasts had been killed, Welly approached Sally.
“Is there something I should know?”
“Indeed, there is,” Sally pointed towards a rundown village not far away, “Let’s talk over there.”
In buildings, unless they are specific locations, those Shadow Stones cannot see inside.
Sally led the three of them into a house that looked relatively intact.
She handed out the information, one copy per person, “Read it within half a sand hour, then return it to me.”
Yu Yan glanced through a few pages, then gave the information back to Sally, “This is pretty much the same as what His Majesty showed us.”
Hearing it was similar, Yin Zang did not even bother to look and handed it back to Sally, untouched.
Sally said, “…Fine, as long as you understand, that’s enough. Our only goal is to take first place; every other squad is an enemy.”
Yu Yan nodded, “Understood.”
Yin Zang clearly understood as well, “Kill!”
Only Welly, unhurried as if he hadn’t heard their conversation, read through the information word by word.
He finished just in time for half a sand hour.
Returning the information to Sally, he spoke his second sentence since arriving, “This Holy War is a no-win situation, and the only way to break the game is to help you secure the Holy Mother.”
“Yes,” Sally nodded.
“I don’t need you to bear my progeny. Hence, I am hoping to gain other benefits.”
“Such as?” 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
“I do not have two hundred million Fangmo Crystals.”
“…?”
