"Then will you return to the Xianzhou with us?"
Yueyu wanted him to go back with her.
"You saved the Xianzhou Alliance from dire straits. Please, you must allow us to repay this kindness."
A newly-ascended Emanator of "The Hunt,"...
Drawing him over to the Xianzhou Alliance's side would be for the best, but even if that wasn't possible, they had to maintain a good relationship.
"I don't care either way."
Gazing into the future, Leon, destined to become a heavenly emperor, was brought back to his senses by her voice.
"As long as you can give me something to eat."
To deepen his practice of The Hunt, he'd have to take it one step at a time. This couldn't be rushed.
Having a place to stay for now wasn't bad, and besides, he was quite hungry.
Since it had come to this, he might as well beg for food first.
"Please, aim a little higher. The Xianzhou Alliance would never mistreat anyone who has shown us kindness."
Yueyu nodded solemnly.
An Emanator, and one personally appointed by The Hunt at that, combined with the merits he earned from his contributions in this war.
She was absolutely certain that once he arrived at the Xianzhou Alliance, his status and position would not be the slightest bit lower than her own!
Any delicacy, no matter how rare, would be his for the asking. That was child's play.
At that point, never mind such a low level of reward, even if he wanted to command an entire Xianzhou, there would be no problem at all!
Below one person, but above ten thousand!
If he was truly willing to stay with the Xianzhou, then that phrase wouldn't be a joke, but a statement of fact.
After all, people like them didn't understand the Reignbow Arbiter's archery, but Leon truly did!
He was personally taught by the Reignbow Arbiter.
In the entire Xianzhou Alliance, the only person who could outrank him was the Marshal. Even they, the Divine Generals of the Reignbow Arbiter, couldn't be considered his equals!
"Not bad."
Leon said perfunctorily.
Besides stats, his mind was only filled with the most primitive human desires.
He couldn't appreciate all this high-and-mighty talk; getting a hot meal was more practical.
Seeing he wasn't very interested, Yueyu didn't say anything more.
"It's good to be alive..."
She shifted her gaze, looking at the soldiers, most of whom had survived, and at the scene of post-disaster survival before her, sighing with heartfelt emotion.
And so, the Third Abundance War...
Was brought to a close by a man named Leon with a firework display called "bro."
His act of amicably calling someone "bro" while simultaneously turning around and blowing them to bits was truly shocking, like someone actually beating a person to death while playing S&M.
In his hands, "bro" became a disposable commodity, just like "mom" in a Valorant game.
From then on, a significant entry was left in the annals of the Xianzhou Alliance.
Future generations had only two sentences to say about it.
"You say it's hard being bros~ Let's face trouble together~"
Note: Facing trouble together = The bro dies, not the hero.
...
...
Seat of Divine Foresight.
"General! General!"
A Cloud Knight rushed into the office, looking overjoyed, bursting in without even announcing himself.
"Is it good news?"
Seeing this, Jing Yuan looked surprised.
A considerable amount of time had passed since the decision to request aid from the Reignbow Arbiter. Logically, he should have already made his move by now.
If everything had proceeded according to the original plan, then this Cloud Knight's behavior was quite strange.
The end of the war was indeed worth celebrating, but this victory was bought with the blood and lives of the Xianzhou soldiers.
Faced with such a scene, one would be lucky not to feel powerless.
Even the most optimistic person would find it difficult to feel positive in such a somber situation.
'How very strange... GNT_PBREAK]Jing Yuan thought to himself.
"Extraordinary news! The attacking Abundance Denizens have been completely annihilated, not one escaped! And not a single Xianzhou soldier was harmed by the Reignbow Arbiter's arrow!"
The Cloud Knight replied excitedly.
"What?"
Jing Yuan's pupils contracted. He slammed the table and stood up.
"Is that true? Are you certain this report came directly from the front lines?"
He must be hallucinating again.
Fantasizing that the Reignbow Arbiter's arrow had a precision targeting system that wouldn't hit allies, turning it from a desperate, last-resort gamble into a nation-protecting divine weapon that could strike wherever it was aimed.
The Xianzhou Alliance would leap to become the strongest faction in the universe.
Jing Yuan truly wondered if he was getting old and mishearing things.
The Reignbow Arbiter's arrow didn't harm a single friendly? How could he be having such a dream?
He felt the probability of him succumbing to mara in the next second was higher than this magical realism scenario.
"Master!"
The short, pink-haired girl with a sullen face in the corner blurted out anxiously after hearing the report.
"I mean..."
Fu Xuan, realizing she had lost her composure, forced herself to calm down and ask.
"What happened to the Divination Master of the Jade Palace in the Sky-Peering Mirror area?"
"Is he alright as well?"
As she asked this, Fu Xuan subconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt.
"Master Jingtian is perfectly fine. He sent this battle report from the front lines himself!"
The Cloud Knight's answer left Fu Xuan in disbelief.
"Fate... has been broken?"
Fu Xuan murmured in a daze.
Fate cannot be changed.
This was something Jingtian always said.
And it was because this bastard master of hers had described her as a rebellious disciple who would stop at nothing to kill her master and seize his position.
She just couldn't accept that he, a diviner who peered into fate, willingly fell into the abyss of fatalism and treated it as a matter of course.
That's why she chose to leave the Jade Palace.
In the end, she came to the Luofu, where the atmosphere was less rigid, wanting to prove that a certain person's prophecy was nothing more than her own absurd fantasy.
But until this battle report arrived...
Both this war and the choices she made because of it.
All seemed to prove that Jingtian was right.
Fate is preordained. Even if you change the process, you cannot change the final outcome.
Even if there were no Abundance Denizen coalition this time, perhaps there would have been an Antimatter Legion.
And no matter who attacked, in the end, she would definitely choose to ask for aid from the Reignbow Arbiter.
Because that was the only way to break the stalemate.
Jingtian's fate would be ended by her own hands...
This was something destined from the moment she was born into this world, something that could never be changed.
"What about Yueyu?"
Jingtian being alive was truly beyond Jing Yuan's expectations.
It was common knowledge that anyone stationed near the Sky-Peering Mirror was doomed to die.
In the entire universe, no one could face the might of an Aeon directly, not even the most powerful Emanator.
"General Yueyu is also safe and sound!"
The Cloud Knight still nodded in response.
"What on earth happened at the front line?"
Jing Yuan frowned, recalling what the knight had said about there being no casualties among the Xianzhou soldiers.
He had originally assumed that didn't include Yueyu and Jingtian, but unexpectedly, it did.
That made things quite intriguing.
What did the two of them rely on to escape death from the power of the Reignbow Arbiter's arrow?
"According to the battle report, the Reignbow Arbiter didn't actually make a move in the truest sense. Someone else resolved this war!"
"Who?"
Jing Yuan asked, thoroughly puzzled.
Not a single soldier was lost,
Which in turn meant that the Abundance Denizens were most likely dealt with by this mysterious person!
For someone to be able to resolve the Xianzhou Alliance's most difficult predicament under such high-stakes conditions, their power must be unfathomable!
Jing Yuan was growing more and more curious.
Who in the world could this person be?
"Replying to the General, the one who broke the stalemate in this war seems to be a young man named Leon."
