Chapter 1675: Chapter 20: Companions (2)
“At present, only Haotian Mirror Old Ancestor, Xi Yi Heavenly Venerate, and Light Dust Heavenly Venerable are the only Heavenly Venerates from the Sects who know of this news.”
Hearing this, Gu Yeqi turned his head towards An Jing, smiling slightly, “Of course, Eldest Senior is different. These messages can naturally be disclosed to Eldest Senior openly.”
An Jing nodded, “It seems that this news only became clear to you after completing the Dragon Remains Battleship… However, since the Dragon Remains Battleship is so important, why are you deploying it to such a dangerous frontline?”
He also reached out, pointing to a corner of the map. With his extraordinary intelligence, An Jing had already pinpointed the location of the Fifth Industrial Center from some details of the Sky Islands: “Although this area is already on the outskirts, it’s still too close to the frontline compared to the core area.”
“The repair of the Dragon Remains Battleship shouldn’t be done here, it should be returned to headquarters.”
“Unless…”
An Jing stopped midway, closing his mouth as he considered several possibilities.
Gu Yeqi smiled, then turned serious, “Actually, the defense line of the Great Wall isn’t infallible. We can pass through with the Dragon Remains. Do you think the evil demons don’t have their Heavenly Venerates? Arrogantly believing there’s a fundamental difference between us and them is a sign of Demonic Degeneration.”
“Without even discussing the Exalted Great Heavenly Demons outside, there are plenty of Great Heavenly Demon fragments fallen at the same time as Embracing the Void within the Great Wilderness. Not to mention… remnants of that Great Wilderness Holy Demon.”
“Yes, we cannot underestimate the Heavenly Demons.” An Jing agreed with this viewpoint, “The True Demon General I captured, seems to be called Fata Bi, often talks about things like the Demon Lord to intimidate me. This doesn’t matter, but the awakening of the Demon Lord probably isn’t a lie. I’ve awoken, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon likely has as well, perhaps even a little earlier than me.”
“With the power of the Holy Demon supporting them, it’s not unimaginable for the evil demons to cross the Chonggen Great Wall and lay claim to the Heavenly Pool. If possible, they certainly want our mature Dragon Remain technology. They will come, either to destroy or capture the Dragon Remains Battleship by all means.”
At this point, An Jing looked at the map again, asking, “Qinghan, Ruohui, what is the situation of the external battle? If I’m not mistaken, the external Heavenly Venerates are likely being pressured by the Heavenly Demons to move towards us.”
“Those who hold the Evil Suppression Sword Intent are probably their vanguard. If they’ve begun battling with our Heavenly Venerates, then we can hardly expect reinforcements from the outside world, and the support from the Heavenly Demons, unimpeded by our Heavenly Venerates, would arrive in the Great Wilderness quickly.”
“By then, even if we fend off the evil demons’ assault at the Fifth Industrial Center and clear out internal traitors, we’ll face a fresh encirclement from new Heavenly Demon forces and external armies.”
An Jing’s analysis was indeed correct, this was the expected development.
But he missed the most crucial element.
His own existence.
“Not exactly.”
Even Bai Qinghan couldn’t help but chuckle lightly before regaining composure, explaining in detail: “In fact, the reason I’m able to be here is due to an agreement between the Alliance Heavenly Venerates and the external Heavenly Venerates.”
“The Alliance Heavenly Venerates allowed external Heavenly Venerates to deploy forces into the Great Wilderness to compete for the Opportunity of Unity. On this basis, they would join forces to guard against the Heavenly Demons… Heavenly Demon reinforcements might not come in so easily, and our Human Clan forces won’t suffer internal strife.”
You Ruhui also couldn’t help but grin, shaking her head, “Actually, during the time I’ve been descended here, all the Heavenly Venerates have united, fortifying the Great Wilderness defenses to be watertight, repelling several assault fleets from the Heavenly Demons.”
“And all of this is because we sensed… your awakening.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, An Jing appeared a bit surprised, but quickly understood the Three Realms Alliance Heavenly Venerates’ intentions, chuckling: “Do they really think I’m invincible? That I can easily win against any challenger? Really, where does such confidence in me come from.”
To this statement by An Jing, all three found it hard to maintain their composure.
— Eldest Senior has become much humbler after losing his memory.
— Isn’t having faith in you completely normal?
— After personally witnessing the battle after the Profound Heaven Great Tribulation, who wouldn’t have faith in you?
“Luckily, I am indeed invincible, otherwise it would have been quite a decline.”
But soon after saying this, everyone realized they had misjudged An Jing—his mindset had become much younger after his memory loss. The previous An Jing would have considered offering a smile as a notable gesture!

But it was refreshing, possessing a unique charm.
“When do we depart?”
Having confirmed the objective, An Jing wanted to set off immediately, but he also knew that others were not like him, mortals who would be tired and required rest.
“It might take a few more days to prepare.”
Upon arriving at the industrial center, Gu Yeqi fully understood the local data, and after some calculation, she concluded: “Though, thanks to your arrival, Eldest Senior, the local garrison achieved a decisive victory with minimal losses, the advantages on other fronts aren’t significant. Worse yet… due to some internal traitors’ betrayal, we lost several key Sky Island nodes.”
An Jing’s observation window flashed red, “There are still traitors?”
“Yes.”
Gu Yeqi closed her eyes, her expression solemn. After accessing the Desolate Alliance data, she reopened her eyes, fully understanding everything, “On Xuanbing Mountain, we nearly lost the command center, the number of traitors is more than anticipated. Looking at it now, dealing with those who’ve surrendered voluntarily is especially tricky. If they hadn’t been stopped, the entire Desolate Alliance would have been overwhelmed.”
