Chapter 1397: Chapter 711: Awe-Inspiring—The Emergence of the Eternal Abyss Dominator (Part 2)

Bam! The sound echoed as it hit the ground.

Anduin’s eyelid twitched, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. Is this really Jeffries?

This... this...

Everyone’s throat bobbed as they looked incredulously at the charred corpse on the ground.

Even though it has become a corpse, the body’s strength hasn’t changed. It must have been an X Level Life Form.

At the same time, there’s the pitch-black tailbone, and various features, all indicating the identity of the other.

This is Jeffries!

Li Ming observed the changes in everyone’s expressions and nodded secretly.

He certainly didn’t pull this corpse directly from a far-off space.

Bringing something directly from a place he’d never been, even a Void Anchor couldn’t do that.

However, when he received the news about Jeffries, he cursed him to death.

At that time, the other hadn’t gone too far, so he directly sent someone to retrieve the corpse from the scene.

It was just stored in the Maviras Realm for a moment, creating a stronger deterrent in this manner.

It’s not over yet. He extended his hand and pulled out another charred body from the void, each in various forms, and let them fall to the ground.

"Puppet Master—Fabio, Night Giant—Heide, Blood of Descent—Claude..."

Li Ming pulled out a corpse and muttered the name of each one.

Cruz’s pupils contracted, cold sweat trickled down as he was very familiar with these names. They were once interstellar rogues.

"These guys attacked civilizations during the war without knowing their limits, and I am very angry," Li Ming said coldly. "I know you have grudges against the civilizations, but you can seek revenge later, not now!"

The scene fell silent, even Costate was quite surprised, as Li Ming hadn’t informed him about clearing these individuals.

Anatoli and others grew more and more in awe.

The council members had no intention of leaving now, but only temporarily. If the tension continued to escalate, they might want to flee.

But if the universe itself couldn’t guarantee their safety, they would think about if Chairman Li Ming would let them, these deserters, get away.

"That’s all I wanted to say. If anyone wishes to leave, you may go." Li Ming stepped aside and gestured.

Cruz’s throat bobbed as he looked around discreetly, noticing no one was moving.

He gritted his teeth, wanting to take a step out, but couldn’t muster the courage.

The underlying reason people leave is to flee, perhaps only to be annihilated by the Eternal Abyss. But continuing the fight, the chance of death is exceptionally high.

But were one to leave now, Li Ming might kill them directly; his determination for war had been shown many times before.

That risk was greater than continuing to fight, so there was no reason to leave.

Li Ming noticed their fear and simply said, "Up to you. You don’t have to leave today; you can go anytime you want later."

"But remember Costate’s words, if anyone dares violate them, even if you run to the edge of the interstellar, I have the ability to destroy you."

Everyone remained silent, their thoughts unknown.

Costate breathed a sigh of relief; this ordeal had at least been temporarily resolved.

After handling this trouble, Li Ming returned to further develop his genetic seed.

Anduin pretended the previous events never happened, letting everyone go back to rest.

And not long after, when the new wave of assaults from the Eternal Abyss commenced, Cruz and seven or eight others had already quietly left.

This time, it was truly silent; no one knew when they had left. There were no ripples in the interstellar, and even their assets were only partially taken.

This was merely a small episode amidst the war’s many facets.

As time passed, the war became increasingly brutal, and the Defense Array was further reduced.

Both mechanical bodies and life forms were thrown into the battlefield like dumplings, whether on the battlefield or within the interstellar space, the atmosphere grew increasingly somber.

The apocalypse theory of the universe was rampant.

Some leaders from civilizations, seeing no end or hope for victory in the war, were already preparing to retreat, and even ordinary citizens began evacuating, heading towards the unknown edges of the universe.

Meanwhile, deep within the Eternal Abyss, a silent change was occurring.

Dark, inky figures slowly emerged from the deepest part of the Eternal Abyss, the liquid on their surface gradually fading away, revealing various life forms in slumber.

The figures varied in height and build, each surrounded by a set of weapons, totaling fourteen.

As the ink covering their faces disappeared, a life form opened its eyes first, its gaze slightly bewildered but quickly clearing up. It was about to respectfully salute the supreme Abyss Lord when, from the corner of its eye, it noticed the life forms beside it.

It was astounded to find so many sleepers awakening simultaneously.

"Gendal..." the voice of the Abyss Lord resounded. The life form was startled and hastily half-knelt in the void, "Abyss Lord... your most loyal servant pays you the highest respect."

The Abyss Lord remained silent, unresponsive, yet Gendal speculated in his heart, having never seen all sleepers awaken at once.

They usually awoke one after the other, heading for the Main Universe, but something unexpected seemed to have happened this time.

Soon, each awakened sleeper experienced the same doubt and surprise until all sleepers knelt in the void in unison.

Many of them had never met before, and for the first time, they realized there were fourteen life forms like themselves.

"I awakened you for a task," the Abyss Lord’s voice sounded again.

"Your will shall be carried out," Gendal lowered his head, realizing he was the strongest among all the sleepers.

The others also noticed this and thus allowed him to speak first.

"The activity level of the Eternal Abyss has reached the standard; I need you to proceed to the Main Universe," the Abyss Lord’s voice was low.

Gendal intuitively responded, "Understood. We will bury this era and offer you the most glorious anthem."

"No..." the Abyss Lord denied, "Temporarily, there’s no need to bury this era. First, you must cultivate the perfect host for me."

"The host?" Everyone was surprised, for there had never been such a directive in past evolutionary eras.

Could the Abyss Lord be planning to descend personally?

"Understood, we will follow your will." Gendal’s head remained bowed, filled with utmost reverence.

The Abyss Lord continued, "Cultivating my host requires you to be in the Main Universe. I will delineate an area for you; remember, you must never leave that region."

Gendal, the strongest, couldn’t help but feel a ripple of curiosity arising in his thoughts. The Abyss Lord’s numerous orders made him sense something amiss, but out of reverence, he didn’t ask.

And the Abyss Lord didn’t conceal, "This evolutionary era has a powerful life form. If you rashly leave, you’ll be killed."

Though the activity level was enough to support his servants entering the Main Universe, their strength was no match for Li Ming.

Based on Li Ming’s previous strength, the strongest Gendal would merely be cannon fodder. Without his reinforcement, large-scale activity was impossible.

However, the current activity level wasn’t sufficient for him to provide reinforcements anywhere in the Main Universe.

A "powerful life form?" The sleepers were taken aback, never having heard the Abyss Lord use such a term.

In this evolutionary era, could such a figure have emerged?

The Abyss Lord further explained, "Once you start cultivating, you might alert him. In that region, I can provide you temporary reinforcement. Together, defeating him shouldn’t be an issue."

This was why he explained the situation; should Li Ming foolishly approach that region, this group wouldn’t be overly startled, wasting an optimal opportunity.

The activity level required for him to offer reinforcement anywhere in the Main Universe was still a long way off.

And cultivating the host wouldn’t take as long. If Li Ming intervened, he would face their onslaught. If he didn’t, once the host was born, they could equally deal with him.

"Understood." Gendal nodded solemnly, maintaining absolute confidence in the Abyss Lord.

A "powerful life form" would merely require some means to deal with.
