234: Pig Teammate

"Xian Zi, don't worry."

"Since I have gathered everyone here, I have naturally found a way to break the situation."

"As Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, saving the world is our mission. Even if we abandon everything, we must kill the Demon Lord and restore peace to the world."

Ying Qi's gaze fell upon the cool, purple-clad woman, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Ji Xianzi!

This was the woman he had been unable to win over, even after Rebirth 99 times.

It wasn't that she couldn't be won over; it was just that she was solely focused on saving the world, with no time for romantic affections.

This time, after defeating the Demon Lord, he swore to become Dao Companions with her and reach the Peak together.

Ye Tian curled his lips: "Stop with these high-sounding words. Everyone knows very well that our becoming Heavenly Mandate Protagonists has nothing to do with moral character. As long as we have good luck and acquire the Protagonist's characteristics, we are Heavenly Mandate Protagonists."

"I don't want to save the world, nor do I care about the fate of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance. I just want to know how to solve the threat of this Demon Lord."

Upon hearing Ye Tian's blunt words, some Heavenly Mandate Protagonists frowned.

They wanted to retort, but after a moment's thought, since they were all Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, there was no need to pretend.

To be honest, they didn't possess Ji Xianzi's noble Heart-Nature.

Save the world? What a joke.

Ye Tian's words were crude but not unreasonable. This Demon Lord was clearly a homicidal maniac, and his strength was terrifyingly abnormal. He was obviously targeting the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, and from those images, he seemed to particularly enjoy torturing Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

They now had only two paths.

Either kill this Demon Lord.

Or run far, far away, ensuring he could never find them.

Ying Qi smiled helplessly and nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point."

"The reason I gathered everyone here is because after more than seventy Rebirths, I understood one truth: fighting alone, it's impossible to defeat the powerful Demon Lord."

"To defeat the Demon Lord, the only way is to unite and cooperate with all of you."

"In fact, today is not the first time I've cooperated with everyone present."

Ye Tian frowned and interrupted: "Brother Ying, according to you, shouldn't you go find your two great fathers, or the high-ranking officials within the Alliance? Isn't that more effective than us Heavenly Mandate Protagonists who haven't even reached Nine Stars Giant?"

Other Heavenly Mandate Protagonists also nodded, agreeing with Ye Tian.

Ying Qi wasn't a struggling Protagonist from humble beginnings. On the contrary, he came from a prominent family, backed by two Nine Stars Giants and a group of old monsters. Finding them would be much better than uniting with them.

Ying Qi heard this and gave a wry smile: "At first, I had the same idea as you. I spent ten Rebirth opportunities looking for my family and the high-ranking officials within the Alliance."

"And then?"

A Heavenly Mandate Protagonist asked.

Ying Qi took a deep breath and said calmly: "When I sought out my two great fathers, they were indeed more capable than me and could control more resources, but they were too arrogant and wouldn't fully trust me. Each time, they were instantly killed by the Demon Lord with a single slap, without any suspense."

"Rebirth is only for me. The situation I face each time is the same. I gave up."

Everyone: "..."

Thinking about it carefully, it made a lot of sense.

Even if the Nine Stars Giants within the Alliance knew you had Rebirth, they were still top-tier big shots. As their 'son', what right did you have to dictate to them?

Without the help of a Rebirth, relying solely on them, being crushed was inevitable.

"As for those big shots within the Alliance."

"No matter how I contacted them, that dog Tian Feng from the Heavenly Court would decisively choose to betray us, selling me and the Hongmeng Divine Alliance out completely."

Everyone: "..."

"Even if I avoided Tian Feng, some Giants within the Alliance wouldn't help me. Instead, they would try to refine me, wanting to seize the Spring and Autumn Cicada."

"Later, I tried to talk to them properly after advancing to Nine Stars Giant, but it was still useless. Having been in high positions for too long, they had made no progress and only engaged in infighting. Even knowing the Demon Lord's arrival, they still went their separate ways, each with their own schemes. They were all useless."

Everyone: "..."

This is just a bunch of incompetent teammates!

If it were me, I wouldn't choose them either.

Ying Qi sighed: "Later, I changed my approach and cooperated with all of you. Instead, it had miraculous effects several times, even breaking through the Realm and advancing to Ten Stars on multiple occasions."

He pointed to everyone and said: "Today, the heroes of the world are only you and I!"

All the Heavenly Mandate Protagonists slowly nodded upon hearing this, feeling inexplicably pleased.

The weight of a second-generation Heavenly Mandate Protagonist was clearly different from that of a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist who had undergone Rebirth 99 times and repeatedly reached Nine Stars Giant.

Especially that last sentence, it truly resonated with them!

Seeing everyone's bright eyes and pleased expressions.

Ying Qi didn't waste any more time and got to the main topic: "To defeat the Demon Lord, we must first know how strong he is."

"What Realm do you think the Demon Lord has reached?"

The Heavenly Mandate Protagonists frowned, their eyes blank.

The Black-robed Man in the Time River's reflected images was so strong that he was beyond their comprehension!

He instantly killed everyone with one move!

No, not one move, it was just a glance, a single finger. It felt like he didn't even exert any force, and the Hongmeng Divine Alliance was already defeated!

How could they infer anything from that?

"The Chaos Dao Talisman has the power of approximately a Twenty-Star Giant."

"The Demon Lord can instantly suppress five of them, so he must be at least Forty-Star or above."

At this moment, a cool voice calmly sounded.

Everyone looked towards the cool, purple-clad woman. Chen Fan asked: "Ji Supreme, how do you know the Chaos Dao Talisman has Twenty-Star power?"

Ji Xianzi said faintly: "I just know."

Everyone fell silent. Ji Xianzi's strength was still that of a Great Supreme. Many people present were stronger than her, but no one dared to underestimate her.

This woman was very peculiar.

From the moment she became a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, apart from her elder sister Scarlet Sand, she basically swept through her peers, undefeated and invincible.

Even more terrifying, her Cultivation speed was even faster than Scarlet Sand's!

She became a Nine Stars Great Supreme, even breaking the Hongmeng Divine Alliance's record!

"Hehe."

Ying Qi chuckled and explained: "As expected of Xian Zi, to be able to discern that the Chaos Dao Talisman has Twenty-Star power, you are truly extraordinary."

He scanned the crowd and said to them: "In our boundless territory, the ultimate Realm is the Nine Stars Giant."

"Above Nine Stars is the beyond-limit."

"It's basically impossible to Breakthrough."

"But this Demon Lord, with his extraordinary talent, is not bound by the world's rules. Not only did he Breakthrough Nine Stars, but he far surpassed it. The first time I went beyond the limit and became a Ten-Star Giant, I confidently fought him, and likewise died in one move."

"Since then, I have undergone Rebirth multiple times, with only one goal: to first ascertain the true extent of his strength."

"For this, I have traveled through mountains and seas, surveyed countless worlds, constantly unearthing lost worlds, Legacies, and civilizations, and also consulted countless ancient clans and Heavenly Mandate Protagonists with profound foundations."

"Ultimately, I finally deduced what Realm the Demon Lord is in."

When he said this, all the Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, including Ji Xianzi, looked at him with flickering eyes.
