593: One and a half years left

New Era, Day 20.

War began to spread over a large area.

The First War Zone to the Fourth War Zone were all engulfed in high-intensity warfare.

However, the Human Race's casualties were extremely low because they had many Martial Gods, and few Martial Gods from the Earth Goddess Alliance on the alien side participated in the battles.

Moreover, with priests setting up teleportation gates, a dozen or so Martial Gods could almost do as they pleased; wherever there was a disadvantage, a few Martial Gods would be directly teleported over, arriving instantly.

This led to a surge in Human Race morale and a slump in alien morale.

Xiao Fan saw all of this.

He knew that to completely win this war, ultimately, Arthas and the Demon Emperor still needed to be dealt with.

As long as those two were still alive and well, trouble would be endless.

But these were not his current concerns; he was living a peaceful life in Di Yi Academy, in a place where the flames of war could not reach.

Everything was good here: the people were good, the scenery was good, and the living conditions were good.

Yet, he didn't want this, especially when he thought that at another corner of the World, warriors who had joined the army because of him were sacrificing themselves, while he could only hide in a safe zone, unable to do anything; his heart was uneasy.

This was not the life Xiao Fan should be living.

Standing on a quiet street, Xiao Fan looked down at his bandaged right hand and silently sighed.

Ever since obtaining the Eight Wilderness Bloodline, he had almost forgotten what the word 'side effects' meant.

The thunder-fire conflict that used to last only a few seconds could now be maintained indefinitely.

But he hadn't expected the recoil of this Peerless Strike to be so terrifying.

On the battlefield at the time, his adrenaline was surging, and his Life Fire was burning, preventing him from feeling pain.

Later, after the battle, he fainted and woke up in a bed at the Academy, his right hand fully bandaged and immobilized, filled with an intensely burning pain, so much so that he even wanted to chop off his arm.

Zheng Qiong told him not to use Life Fire to heal his right arm anymore.

It would cause problems.

Xiao Fan was very puzzled by this statement, wondering how it could cause problems.

Zheng Qiong replied with his original words: "Everyone's Physical Body has its limits."

"There's a limit to enduring pain, and of course, there's a limit to enduring benefits."

"It's like when you eat delicious food; your stomach is only so big. If you overeat, continuing to eat will cause problems."

"Currently, the Martial God Dao of Blue Star doesn't seem to have the concept of Physical Body overload."

"This has led me to observe that most of the old teachers and strong cultivators in the entire Di Yi Academy are riddled with hidden ailments."

"Including you, the hidden ailments on your Physical Body are no less than theirs."

"I really don't know what you've been doing all this time to end up like this."

Xiao Fan was confused and asked, "I don't feel anything unusual."

Zheng Qiong said leisurely, "Because you are still young; you haven't even passed the beginner's welfare period, which is the first fifty years of life."

"When you get older, normally you'll still be fine, but during intense battles, these hidden ailments will slowly suffer secondary damage, greatly increasing your chances of injury, and even becoming the ultimate cause of death in battle."

So, for these twenty days, he did nothing but recuperate. He didn't even drink Source Fluid because his Realm had already reached a Bottleneck.

The best heaven piercing crystal had not yet been absorbed because the energy within it was too chaotic. His Senior Brother was currently organizing the power within it to reach a state that could perfectly adapt to the World Gear.

And he had also received a message from his Big Brother, who was far away in the Universe.

Chen Changsheng told him that just a few days ago, he had seen a scene Beyond the Galaxy blockade line, only for an instant, but it was still... terrifying to the extreme.

He used a secret method to let Xiao Fan also see that instantaneous scene from his memory.

Just one second.

Xiao Fan's pupils constricted, and his heart stopped.

Giant warships, filling his vision like the reflection of devils, were anchored just a paper-thin distance outside the Galaxy, floating in the darkness.

At a glance, there were at least hundreds of thousands of them.

The muzzles of every warship were converging with terrifying energy that made one's soul tremble.

Especially the energy of the first hundred warships completely Beyond the limits of a Martial God; each energy cannon seemed capable of destroying everything!

Big Brother told him that in at most a year and a half, the barrier would be shattered.

Those terrifying invaders would come in!

So, you should also be prepared.

Be prepared to rush out of the Galaxy!

At that time, you must lead the Super God Class and Zeus to break through this overwhelming defense line. Of course, you absolutely cannot do it with just your strength.

Priests and many Martial Gods will escort you.

The hope of the Galaxy is on you, outside the Galaxy.

So, in this year and a half, you must prepare.

You need to understand the structure of the major forces outside, the power system outside, and your future goals and direction.

Upon seeing these messages, Xiao Fan felt immense pressure.

To relieve the pressure, he told Kuang Xing about this news.

At this time, Kuang Xing also lived in Di Yi Academy because he was a Child of Origin. If he continued to stay among the aliens where extraterrestrial species were everywhere, it would be tantamount to suicide.

That day, like a bumpkin who had just entered the city, he leaned on a crutch, his arm in a full cast, sitting on the cherry blossom avenue leading to the Martial Hall, not knowing what he was thinking, chuckling foolishly.

But he hadn't laughed for long before Xiao Fan, beside him, earnestly told him about the urgent situation.

"You are the Child of Origin, you are the hope of the Galaxy. At that time, you must lead us to break out of the Galaxy!"

Kuang Xing also saw that scene, and he was dumbfounded.

"Me?"

"What am I leading?!"

"Aren't you leading?"

"Hey! You're a hooligan, don't mess with me."

Xiao Fan could only sigh and say, "I originally thought you had self-awareness as a Child of Origin and were a very responsible person. Now it seems I was being presumptuous."

"I also thought you were proud, but I never expected you to willingly be my little brother."

"Alright then."

Kuang Xing frowned deeply.

At this time, he didn't know how despicable Xiao Fan was.

He thought Xiao Fan was speaking from the heart.

He believed it.

He clenched his fists, shouted angrily, and said, "You're right, I am the Child of Origin, and saving the Galaxy is my responsibility!"

"I will not shrink from it!"
