"It looks like the tournament is over."
☆ → ☆ →. "Mo Xiao, who had flown off into the distance before the explosion, returned. Her voice was a little strange.
Lan Jue's strength had impressed her. She hadn't expected him to be this strong.
The Terminator's deep voice boomed through the arena. "I declare the champion of this year's Tournament, Zeus!"
With him personally announcing the results of the match, it also signified the end of this match and this year's competition.
Only then did the audience burst into cheers.
Meanwhile, far away in the Eastern Alliance, cheers filled every planet belonging to the Eastern Alliance.
The National Eastern University was a sea of joy. Ever since Lan Jue's mask had been removed, the university had taken advantage of the opportunity. They no longer needed to hide his identity, and immediately began to spread the news. The news that Zeus was a teacher at the National Eastern University had spread throughout the Eastern Alliance.
Both Lan Jue and Jun Yongye emerged from the crater. Their steps were unsteady, and it was clear they'd expended a great deal of energy.
Still, they were in high spirits.
Lan Jue's mind was filled with the sensation of his last attack.
He couldn't create a Paragon's power, but he'd experienced it firsthand.
At that time, when the surrounding space was violently collapsing and under the enormous pressure that seemed to want to devour him, he made a prompt decision and made a bold attempt.
He'd struck out nine times, using the power of the nine solar lightning bolts. The nine palms combined with the taiji power of the yang lightning, allowing him to stabilize the crumbling space around him. He'd deliberately controlled it.
The yang lightning had been superimposed, compressed.
At the very center.
Finally, there were signs of prosperity. Extreme yang gave birth to yin.
His last attack had been a manifestation of the yang lightning within his Core. He'd created his own yin and yang, and combined the two types of lightning to simulate the Driver's and the Driver's combined solar and yin lightnings.
Lan Jue's taiji power had transformed and compressed it, and he'd just stabilized his Paragon protogenia.
He had finally triggered the explosion.
However, amidst the explosion, he vaguely found a direction.
It was the true path to becoming a Ruler.
He couldn't control the power of that explosion. Whether it was extreme yang giving birth to yin or the final fusion of yin and yang, he'd have to wait until he became a Paragon before he could truly comprehend it.
Lan Jue and Jun Yongye had to crawl out of the pit because of their exhaustion. Still, they won the cheers of the audience.
Although the scene just now had given them quite a bit of fear, it also proved the strength of the two contestants in the finals.
Their powerful strength meant that they were worthy of being the finalists.
The competition that had lasted for more than half a month was finally over. Whether it was the singers or the audience in front of the holographic projection.
They all felt a sense of loss.
At that moment, the lights in the Major League Sports Center suddenly dimmed. It was already night time, so it was easy to create darkness. All they had to do was turn off the lights.
Without waiting for the audience to panic, a pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky. The pillar of light was white, and it was especially eye-catching in this pitch-black world. And in that pillar of light, a person was floating.
He was dressed in a dark red suit, and it made him look gloomy. However, his incomparably handsome face drew everyone's attention.
Low music began to play. It was a little oppressive, giving people a feeling of suffocation.
Neptune. It was Neptune!
Yes, the person in the dark red suit who appeared in mid-air was the Sea Emperor.
At this moment, his expression was just like the atmosphere of the scene, with a gloomy temperament. In the sky, the white pillar of light gradually faded, and a faint dark red light surged from all directions, like a red ocean, supporting his body.
His voice rang out. It was as sweet as ever, but it was darker and more oppressive than usual.
It was a new song. Neptune's new song.
Four blood-red words appeared on the screen in front of every audience member: Blood Ocean.
The song seemed to be telling a story. It started from when humans had just left their mother planet and began their interstellar migration. It talked about the process of human development and the glory of the Interstellar Development Era. Gradually, as time passed, it gradually reached the present. It talked about the glory of humans and the problems of the human world.
Suddenly, the dark red sky changed. Countless lights flashed, and the red suddenly turned green. The holographic projection of the Major League Sports Center turned the entire sky into a green forest.
The gloomy atmosphere suddenly became full of sunshine and life. The instantaneous change gave everyone a strong visual impact.
Neptune's voice also became gentle. It was as if he was talking about the origin of life and praising the glory of nature.
But at that moment, the image suddenly zoomed out, and it changed to a bird 's-eye view of the forest. Everyone could clearly see purplish black dots appearing in the green forest. They were expanding at an alarming rate.
People began to feel that the image was familiar. Soon, the words "Planet Taihua" appeared on their screens.
The tragedy on Planet Taihua was the most tragic experience humanity had faced in recent years. It was an unprecedented blow to the Eastern Alliance.
The image flickered, and rays of light flashed. Giant beasts appeared, devouring the travelers and the humans who were enjoying the joys of nature. They destroyed everything, and they devoured everything.
The terrifying aura seemed to choke everyone's throats.
People had seen these images in news reports before, but it was the first time they saw them in such a large display.
The giant beasts seemed to be leaping at them, devouring everything in their path.
This was simply too terrifying, so terrifying that it was suffocating.
Was this what Planet Taihua had experienced?
Suddenly, Neptune's voice became impassioned. The image changed again. A figure suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a deep blue light. It flashed in the sky, and with a single flash, a monster was reduced to ashes.
Blinding bolts of lightning flashed, destroying the monsters one by one, saving humanity from the abyss of suffering.
The blue figure flickered incessantly. Every time it appeared, a monster fell.
Neptune's voice was filled with the word "hero". The blue figure flickered in and out of existence.
Every time he attacked, the monster would die.
More and more people were saved by him, and the number of monsters kept increasing.
Gradually, the dark blue figure began to slow down. Everyone could see that it was a huge dark blue mecha.
The mecha's body shone with a dazzling light. Electricity crackled around it, and it continued to attack. Even though it seemed exhausted, it did not stop fighting.
A gigantic monster soared through the skies, sniping at the ships that were trying to escape from Taihua. The dark blue figure appeared once more, dragging its weary body with it as it unleashed an all-out attack. Finally, the monster was destroyed, but the figure itself was swaying as it slowly descended to the ground.
At this point, the song became peaceful again and gradually came to an end. The entire light and shadow returned to the scene of the bird's eye view, overlooking the forest that had turned into a purplish-red color.
"Unknown creatures have invaded. Many have died on Taihua." Neptune's voice was melancholy.
"During this disaster, countless travelers died under the monsters' claws."
"Where did they come from?
Where did these invading creatures come from? "
"Humanity has always been protected by heroes."
"A hero is not just one person, but all of you."
"Only when all of humanity is united can we protect our loved ones and our friends in this age of interstellar migration.
Let the light of humanity shine upon the universe. "
"Today, I will tell you a secret."
A layer of blue light rose around the Sea Emperor's body. This layer of light brought his body down from the sky towards the ground.
The audience's gaze followed his figure as they looked down.
When his feet touched the ground, a beam of light shone down upon him.
By this time, Neptune was standing in front of Lan Jue and Jun Yongye.
He turned to face the audience. His voice was full of emotion. "You've all seen the man who fought to save the travelers.
Yes, it was this unsung hero who saved so many.
He's the one who killed countless monsters, and that's why so many people survived. "
"But there are some things you don't know.
In this rescue mission, this hero almost paid the price with his life.
That blue mecha fought from the moment the monsters appeared until the end of the war. It held on until the arrival of the Cosmagus of the Eastern Alliance's Skyfire Avenue.
As we all know, even god-ranked mechas and god-ranked pilots can only fight for a limited amount of time. That's because there's a limit to their energy. "
"Do you know why he fought so long?
Today, I will tell you the secret. "
Lan Jue took a step forward and placed a hand on Huali's shoulder.
Hua Li turned his head and gave him a small smile. He took Lan Jue by the arm and pulled him to his side.
"Don't stop me. I want everyone to know.
Today, anyone who tries to stop me from telling the truth will be an enemy of the Poseidon Group. "The first part of his sentence was directed at Lan Jue, but the second was for everyone to hear.
Not only was he the most famous superstar in the world, but he was also the heir of the Poseidon Group!
As soon as he said that, the entire audience was in an uproar. The audience had a premonition that what Neptune was about to say would be extraordinary —
The second watch, 17 PM. More!
