Chapter 923 - 283: Before Making a Comeback

Dawn Number One took Han Zhan and his Contracted Spirits away,

Leaving only the World Tree and the Blue Star Fruit World in the vast, empty cosmos.

For the Blue Star Fruit World, they lost their last hope.

Branches once again extended from the main body of the World Tree,

This time, no one could step forward to block the Creator God level technique.

In the command room, Little Dragon Man Bob silently swished his tail.

"Now, what should we do."

Shang Jianyue looked at Lin Jingxuan beside him, and asked.

With Han Zhan not here, Lin Jingxuan, as the Great Xia Commander-in-Chief, was the backbone for these people.

"Give up resistance and let the World Tree control Blue Star."

Lin Jingxuan adjusted his glasses, speaking calmly.

His tone betrayed no emotion, but whether his inner heart matched the calm of his tone, only he knew.

"Han Zhan being rescued means we still have hope."

"Don’t expand the impact, just prettify the wandering Blue Star plan and tell the public it’s just a test of technology iteration, comforting them."

"Then, before the true apocalypse arrives, wait for Han Zhan’s return. That’s all we can do now."

Though this seemed like shirking responsibility, it was, in fact, the truth.

Even the billions of stars in Han Zhan’s grand array couldn’t shake the World Tree; what storm could these Tier Nine Ultimates stir?

Just someone had to step up and take the blame labeled "cowardice."

Lin Jingxuan understood this, so he stood up.

Even if the truth were revealed later, only he would face criticism and accusation.

Of course, that’s assuming there is a later.

As Lin Jingxuan was saying these words,

the World Tree had already reattached the Blue Star Fruit World onto its branches.

As if nothing had ever happened, yet as if everything was different.

...

Dawn Number One’s severed hand grasped Dawn Number Two, Han Zhan, and his group, traversing the boundless starry sky.

Who knows how long passed.

A gigantic object appeared in their sight.

It was much larger than Dawn Number One’s severed hand, almost comparable to the World Tree.

It was an ancient bronze pot!

As the severed hand approached, the bronze pot emitted a faint blue light, spreading like ripples onto the hand.

The latter did not resist, soon it too emitted ripples and light of the same frequency.

Immediately, the severed hand vanished into the starry sky.

The massive ancient bronze pot vanished along with it.

Dawn Number Two’s figure had just appeared in the Pot World,

when several space ripples emerged around him,

Dawn Number Three, Dawn Number Four, Dawn Number Five, Dawn Number Six.

Each present, the full team gathered.

Big Golden Fur twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Must you come so quickly? Were you really afraid I’d escape?"

"Of course, you promised us so many rewards yet haven’t fulfilled them. If you truly ran away, we would suffer great losses." Dawn Number Three responded naturally.

The unique black hood of the Dawn Organization allowed them to freely transport through space.

And through space fluctuations, it enabled them to sense each other’s locations for easy rendezvous.

Thus, when Dawn Number Two appeared, they promptly gathered here.

"Number Two, while I hate to admit it, you are indeed far stronger than us, even able to have Number One intervened, your strategizing is admirable."

Spoke Dawn Number Four.

When they delivered the message to Dawn Number One, none expected the Number One, who had never left the Pot World, to agree to take action.

This was something that could shock them for millennia.

"Is there a chance this wasn’t my plan at all?"

At this moment, Dawn Number Two suddenly said mysteriously.

His words stunned the other four Dawns.

They quickly realized if it wasn’t Dawn Number Two’s plan, then the only one capable of mobilizing Dawn Number One was— he himself!

"Alright, come over here to look after them, they’ve inhaled the Antique Artifact, Sleep God Nine-leaf Lotus, which can put gods to sleep, but given their strength, they should wake up soon."

"Where are you going?" Dawn Number Three asked instinctively, regretting it immediately after.

As expected, Dawn Number Two answered without hesitation:

"Number One called me over; I need to report on the implementation of this plan to him."

Finishing his words, Big Golden Fur wagged his tail and left without looking back.

Leaving the remaining four Dawns, looking at each other in dismay.

And Han Zhan’s group who were in a state of sleep.

"Wait a moment, everyone, I suddenly have a question." Dawn Number Four asked uncertainly, "If this isn’t Dawn Number Two’s plan but rather an order from Dawn Number One, then the promised rewards... are they still valid?"

This question,

made four of them simultaneously wear expressions of anguish.

Dawn Number Two donned the black hood again, gaining the ability for space traversal, with one swing, his entire figure vanished.

Soon, he reappeared in another location.

This place was seldom visited, located at the central area of the Pot World.

It was deserted because of the black river flowing at its center.

This river was the deepest, darkest black describable by any words.

As if it came from the past, yet flowed towards the future, connecting the opening and bottom of the Pot World.

A figure sat desolately there, unmoving.

He was missing a right hand.

"Boss, I’m back." Dawn Number Two spoke from afar.

Upon hearing his voice, the figure lightly waved his left hand, sending a beam of white light that enveloped Dawn Number Two and drifted towards where he sat.

Dawn Number Two shivered violently.

Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t want to approach that black river, even a trace could lead to utter destruction.

Gathering his thoughts, Dawn Number Two wagged his tail proudly before Dawn Number One.

"Boss, the mission has been successfully completed."

"He... Han Zhan has perfectly integrated with the seven Divine Soldiers, and has now broken through to a realm beyond gods, even comprehending the Creation Technique."

"I know."

The mysterious Dawn Number One was entirely cloaked in the black hood, obscuring his appearance.

Yet from his voice, he surprisingly sounded young.

He nodded slightly, "There are only two ways to enter the Pot World, one is as Old Era Remnants, the other is being intrinsic to each other."

"So, once they succeeded in entering the Pot World, I realized your mission was a success."

"Well done."

Dawn Number One’s compliment delighted Big Golden Fur, who wagged his tail even more, but once he caught sight of the black river beside him, he wilted instantly.

"What should we do next?"

"Prepare, before rising again."
