Chapter 712: Chapter 419: ? Chapter 712: Chapter 419: ? “Where are we?”

The Tuberculosis Rabbit looked around somewhat blankly at the unfamiliar world before him.

They had been promoted to the Tenfold Planet, and had left the game of promotion, or rather, they hadn’t completely left it but had arrived at a new battlefield, a new world.

What came into view was an extremely vast expanse of Wasteland.

However, the ground was not barren soil and weeds but was covered with extremely thick steel plates, stretching as far as the eye could see without end. The dim sunlight filtering through the clouds onto the steel plates created an illusion of a disconnect.

It was as if this shouldn’t be a real world.

“Clang!”

Chen Yi struck the ground with his cane, and the sound of metal clashing echoed.

Solid.

The sound was very muffled, and the steel plates were tightly fitted to the ground without a single gap, indicating that the surface of this expanse of Wasteland had been artificially leveled to extreme flatness.

All these steel plates… If it were before the descent of the promotion game on Blue Star, how much would they cost?

He estimated they must be 10 millimeters thick.

“Here you go.”

Just then–
From a distance, a young man with his hands in his pockets casually said, “Welcome, everyone. I thought you all were cowards, but it seems you’ve become quite brave recently.”

“Let me give a brief introduction.”

“We’re in the midst of a very brutal battlefield, but don’t worry for now; we are at the rear, which is relatively safe. And these steel plates, they were laid out by Emperor Jiang.”

“The enemy essentially possesses a peculiar ability to move freely underground, much like those damned maggots beneath the earth.”

“When we first encountered them, they caused us significant casualties. After we finally managed to build a base, those damned maggots surged from underground at our rear and inflicted heavy losses once more, forcing us to cover all our territories with these steel plates. This can prevent those maggots from burrowing up from the ground effectively.”

“Tch.”

As he spoke, the young man suddenly looked towards the distant city of steel with fanaticism and reverence in his eyes: “See that? Before I came here, there was nothing but Wasteland, and all that met the eye were countless enemies, only enemies.”

“It was Emperor Jiang who led us to slowly conquer our own domain and then establish a base of operations, starting a war of attrition.”

“I must say, your timing is impeccable. Had you not joined the battle in time, we would probably suffer many casualties in the decisive battle three days from now.”

The young man suddenly paused, and after a long while he shook his head reluctantly, saying, “Alright, although admitting this fact feels a bit shameful, without your timely support, we’d probably be facing extinction in the decisive battle three days from now.”

“The number of enemies is indeed overwhelming.”

“Thank you. We misunderstood you before.”

“No problem.”

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully without speaking. The person before him must be one of Jiang Chenglu’s people, belonging to the Mo Clan, the first to ascend to the Tenfold Planet. It seemed their arrival was quite timely?

The decisive battle was in three days?

If he hadn’t timely sent those nine Ninefold planets over, Jiang Chenglu might have really been unable to hold on?

“Hey, wait a minute.”

The young man suddenly came to a realization, stepping back with a strange expression, examining Chen Yi with doubt, “If I’m not mistaken, apart from our Mo Clan, there are only nine Ninefold planets in the promotion game, right?”

“And among these nine Ninefold planets, eight ascended to the Tenfold Planet seven days ago and have entered the main city.”

“Who are you?”

“A newly promoted Ninefold planet? Or the remaining Ninefold planet?”

Chen Yi scanned the surroundings without offering much explanation, and with one hand on his cane, he walked towards the steel city in the distance, “Didn’t those Ninefold planets tell you how they got promoted?”

“They did,” the young man hurriedly followed, adding, “They said they were worried that Emperor Jiang couldn’t hold on outside, conscience-stricken night and day during the promotion game, unable to bear the thought of Emperor Jiang fighting alone, so they decided to ascend together.”

“They’d rather die in battle with Emperor Jiang than live a cowardly existence in the promotion game.”

“Pretty good.”

Chen Yi chuckled and nodded, “My name is Chen Yi, a player from Blue Star. These people behind me are my kin. I’m going to take a look in the city. Would you mind arranging for these people here?”

“They don’t need to be sent to the front lines.”

“For the front lines, I alone am enough.”

Having said that,
he led the Tuberculosis Rabbit and a few others towards the city.

…

“What?”

Looking at Chen Yi’s retreating figure, the young man suddenly stiffened in place. It took him a while to catch his breath before he tremulously opened his friend list, found his superior, and spoke hastily, “Chen Yi, it’s Chen Yi, Chen Yi has come!!!”

He had never met Chen Yi.

During the promotion game, he had hardly heard the name.

After all, before he followed Emperor Jiang in ascending to the Tenfold Planet, Chen Yi didn’t have much of a reputation, being known only in small circles. Why would he, a proud Ninefold player, bother with a newcomer?

That would be demeaning himself, a total waste of time.

But after ascending to the Tenfold Planet, he had heard Emperor Jiang mention Chen Yi several times, leaving a deep impression of that name, even though he was unclear about its significance. If Emperor Jiang had mentioned it multiple times, surely this person was no ordinary individual.
