Chapter 574: Chapter 362: Walking on the Sea, Seeking Truth on the Other Shore

"He’s connected to the Starry Sky Country, has dealings with their special departments, and they seem to be brewing a terrible plan that could endanger world peace."

"..."

All sorts of rumors began to fly, making it seem as if the very skies above Blue Star were thick with the smell of gunpowder.

「The middle of the ocean.」

"Target is approaching the center of the ocean, meeting the conditions for the plan to proceed. I repeat, the time is now!"

A reconnaissance plane flying high in the Sky confirmed Yi Beidou’s position, transmitting the information to the war room.

On the main screen, the figure of Yi Beidou appeared.

Suddenly, the Yi Beidou on the screen stopped, standing motionless amidst the waves in the middle of the ocean.

"What is he doing? Target is exhibiting abnormal behavior. Go to high alert! All personnel, attention!"

This move made the commander bellow so loudly his voice cracked.

Yi Beidou seemed to notice the camera’s prying eye. He looked up, and his gaze seemed to pierce right through the screen, sweeping over everyone in the conference room.

CRASH! CLATTER!

A commotion erupted in the conference room—the sound of cups, pens, and instruments clattering to the floor. Just a single glance, from thousands of kilometers away and through a screen, was enough to make many of the important figures present begin to tremble.

Absolutely terrifying!

But as everyone watched in terror, Yi Beidou made no move. He looked up at the Sky, then at the boundless azure sea around him, before slowly sitting down cross-legged on the surface of the water, seemingly waiting quietly for something.

BAM!!

In the conference room, the leader of the Starry Sky Country slammed his fist on the table.

"Arrogance! This is a blatant provocation! Fine. Since he has delivered his greatest weakness right into our hands, then we will be the ones to deliver judgment."

"Even if he’s a God, he dies today!"

"All units, move out!!"

The leader of the Starry Sky Country roared.

Meanwhile, on another stretch of the ocean, two figures stood upon the water, watching from a great distance.

They were a man and a woman.

The man was powerfully built, with the mark of a wheel between his eyebrows. The woman wore a simple white gown, her beauty was almost demonic, and her skin was as pale as paper.

They were none other than the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation and the Lady of the Three Yins, who had escaped from Zhi City.

"It’s just the two of us. Even if the Starry Sky Country manages to gravely wound him, can we actually kill him?"

"He can sense our presence, yet he shows no fear. He stopped in the middle of the ocean because he intends to challenge this entire world."

The Lady of the Three Yins spoke in a low voice, a hint of bewilderment in her terrifying black eyes.

"We’ve come this far; we have no other choice. Neither of us can sever the mark he left on us. Sooner or later, that man will hunt us down."

"It’s a pity. Those old geezers are all cowards, hiding in their shells. Not one of them is willing to help. If we had ten or more Sleepers on our side, our chances would be much better."

The King of the Wheel of Reincarnation’s expression was incredibly grim.

For over half a year, they had tried all sorts of methods, but none could sever the link Yi Beidou had placed on them. This meant that no matter where they fled, even to the ends of the earth, Yi Beidou would eventually find them.

So they changed their strategy, hoping to contact more Sleepers—including those who had already awakened and appeared in Zhi City, as well as some of the still-slumbering old relics they could reach.

But not a single one was willing to help. The replies they received were uncannily uniform.

"Since that man is unwilling to fuse with the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, then no matter how strong he is, he’s still just a mortal. This era may belong to him, but all we need to do is sleep. We’ll awaken in an age after he’s gone."

"Time is meaningless to us."

"Those fools simply don’t understand what kind of monster this Yi Beidou is! Perhaps he really can break through the barrier that no one has shattered since ancient times. When that time comes, who will still be able to hide in their shell? People like you and me will be utterly destroyed at his hands!"

The King of the Wheel of Reincarnation said furiously.

However, the Lady of the Three Yins didn’t respond to the King of the Wheel of Reincarnation. Instead, she asked abruptly, "Tell me, if we surrender to him now, do you think we could survive?"
