Chapter 104: I will be covered in starlight! - "I am proud to go to war!"
Scalegorge Waterscape.
Dan Heng had already completed the sea-opening process. The palace submerged in the sea reappeared before their eyes.
Both Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were observing the environment before them.
A dragon-like phantom appeared at the end of the road.
That was where the [ Abundance Root ] was located.
And the enemy they were about to face.
The Destruction's General—Phantylia.
Jing Yuan's gaze was somewhat solemn.
If he had to face this battle alone, it would likely be a close call.
But fortunately, quite a few people were accompanying him this time.
Even if only half of them took action, it would be enough.
Beside him.
Dan Heng, who had regained his Dragon Lord memories, had a complex expression in his eyes for a moment.
He stood there, silent for a long time.
The atmosphere of an impending storm before a great battle quickly rose.
Just then.
An inappropriate voice suddenly rang out from behind!
" What! [ Feathered Spirit ] even specially created the sea-opening process?"
" And even wrote a song for this segment!"
" Then my recording was for nothing."
March 7th and Stelle were all gathered around Silver Wolf, watching the gameplay recording of the sea-opening in the game.
The battle song then rang out.
This sound immediately attracted Dan Heng and Jing Yuan at the front.
" The in-game story also happens to be at this point."
" It seems Feathered Spirit even wrote a song for you, want to watch it together?"
Dan Heng was taken aback.
A song?
He had only separated the ancient seawater to open the path to the [ Abundance Root ] but had not yet achieved victory in this battle.
Why would Feathered Spirit release a song at this time?
He opened the first video under Feathered Spirit's homepage—" Samudrartha".
He clicked play.
" Past... tides..."
" Etch my scars into dragon scales."
" Breathing brews wind and clouds."
Dan Heng's expression immediately changed slightly.
These lyrics...
Touched his heart almost instantly.
" Bloodline... roots..."
" Weave into fate beneath my flesh."
" Rooted in the dragon heart scorched by flames."
Dan Heng felt a current running through his body.
It could be said that every word pierced his heart!
Penetrating his inner defenses at once.
In just a few strokes.
It actually expressed all the grievances and injustices he had suffered over the years.
His fist clenched.
His teeth gritted.
There was a glimmer of tears in Dan Heng's eyes.
Yes.
He had never wavered in the face of so much doubt and pain.
But now.
He was actually breaking down because of a few lyrics.
" Honing... metal... as my bones."
" Letting... hurricanes... break free from my throat."
" Reshape me with legends."
" Recast me with pain."
Dan Heng had to close his eyes.
This was not just lyrics...
It was simply another version of himself questioning this fate with unwillingness!
Fortunately, he used the Cloudhymn technique.
Otherwise, two small pearls would have undoubtedly fallen on the ground beneath his feet.
And then.
From building momentum to singing without reservation!
It was as if he had broken free from the shackles of fate.
Especially the last line, " I will be covered in starlight, and descend again upon the abyss."
Made Dan Heng feel like something " exploded " in his heart!
Like a lighthouse on the misty sea.
It immediately guided him to the path of the future!
" I, Dan Heng, as a member of the Astral Express Crew... will also be here to bear the responsibility of the Vidyadhara High Elder!"
Jing Yuan glanced at Dan Heng in surprise.
Then he showed an approving smile.
Behind them.
March 7th and Stelle were dumbfounded.
It took them a long time to react.
March 7th casually created a six-sided ice cube and placed it on her forehead.
" I can't take it anymore, I need to cool down."
" This sea-opening scene with the background music is too impactful, right?"
" Uncle Yang, I think I understand how you felt watching us fight Cocolia while experiencing the battle in the game."
" This game is even more shocking than reality!"
" What kind of statement is that?"
Jing Yuan walked over from the front.
He said, " Everyone, there are now two options."
" The first is that we take action immediately and launch an attack on Phantylia."
" The second is to watch the battle in the story first, confirm what abilities and methods Phantylia has, so that we can know ourselves and our enemy, and be prepared."
For a moment.
No one answered.
The scene was a little awkward.
There was no scene of everyone responding as expected.
On the contrary, the scene before the expedition in the plot formed a sharp contrast with the atmosphere at this moment.
In the game plot, in addition to the Trailblazers, only the local forces of the Xianzhou participated in this battle—Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan led a group of Cloud Knights.
But Jing Yuan still chose to let Fu Xuan and the Cloud Knights guard this place.
He wanted to deal with Phantylia alone with the Trailblazers.
The Cloud Knights eagerly said, " General! We are also willing to go with the General! Please don't leave us behind!"
" Yes, General. Although our skills are low, the Cloud Knights have the responsibility of guarding the Xianzhou, how can we stay behind and let travelers from other lands take risks for us! If you don't mind, please let me clear the way for you."
Jing Yuan then said, " Everyone, I understand your intentions very well."
" But the opponent ahead is not an Abundance monster... but the [ Destruction Lord ] of the Antimatter Legion. After passing this road, it will be the confrontation between Yaoshi the Aeon of Abundance and Nanook the Aeon of Destruction..."
" You have more important responsibilities. Cloud Knights, listen to the order!"
" After I go deep into [ the Ambrosial Arbor ], if the sea water returns to its original state, evacuate immediately and re-close the grotto-heaven. All matters will be arranged by the Diviner."
The Cloud Knight soldiers immediately burst into a loud response—" Yes!"
Jing Yuan then instructed Fu Xuan, " Fu Xuan, if I cannot return, the important task of reporting the cause and effect to other Xianzhou is entrusted to you."
Fu Xuan pondered slightly and replied, " I won't say things like [ Please come back to report in person ]. I will definitely not fail the mission you have ordered."
" Haha, you have some of the General's meaning."......
Looking at the plot and then looking at the scene.
March 7th scratched her head and sighed in a low voice, " It's still more tense and exciting in the game."
" General Jing Yuan is prepared for a desperate battle; his life is uncertain, and the outcome is not certain."
" Looking at this scene... it has a sense of elderly people on a team tour."
After Jing Yuan made the suggestion.
No one responded at the scene for a while.
After all, people like Jingliu, Blade, Kafka, Luocha... all have very special identities.
It was purely because the Xianzhou plot was exposed in advance that they gathered together.
As for the crusade against Phantylia, it was more like an extra.
Jingliu was the first to speak, " Jing Yuan, don't put your set of plots here."
" No one will listen to you."
" Just a pawn of Destruction, since she said those words, she must not be left alive today."
She said the harshest words in the calmest tone.
Then.
Jingliu directly grasped the greatsword that seemed to be made of three feet of moonlight and jumped up.
She actually charged into the depths of the Abundance Root alone.
Jing Yuan couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
Soon.
Phantylia's voice echoed in this space.
Perhaps because she was closer.
Her voice became clearer, echoing in the sky like thunder. "Oh? The general of the Luofu is not going to take the stage himself, but instead let you little minions come up to die."
" No matter how many ants come, it will only increase the number of those who are destroyed."
Hearing these words.
Blade couldn't sit still either! "Noisy."
He chased after the place where Jingliu disappeared.
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng looked at each other; they had already agreed on it before.
Now there was naturally no reason to stand by and watch.
Dan Heng greeted the Trailblazers.
And Jing Yuan said to Yanqing, " Yanqing, you stay here with them."
" General!"
The two set off together and entered it together!
In the blink of an eye.
Four of the former High-Cloud Quintet had already set off to face Phantylia.
The remaining people had different expressions for a while.
March 7th sighed, " Phantylia is really daring."
" Let's hurry in and take a look, don't be late and the battle will be over."
Stelle raised the Jade Abacus in her hand and said, " Can't we see it in the game as well? Maybe it's even more exciting."
" That makes sense, but the battles in the game can be replayed, but it's rare to see the four of them fighting together."
