Volume 6 Chapter 39: Celestial – Desolate War (7)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As the fighter jets soared through the sky, the merciless bombardment descended. With almost pinpoint accuracy, they easily took the lives of all the Desolate guards.

While it was true that the Desolates had strength in number, and some of their forces had remained in their respective territories to defend, these sporadic forces were unable to mount an effective defense.

The essence of flash combat tactics lies in three main points: timing, concentration, and degree.

Using the speed advantage of fighter jets and tanks, focusing their firepower, and striking to kill. The spread-out Warriors were simply unable to handle this simple combination of tactics..

The initial airstrikes would first completely destroy their morale, then the 6 armored tanks would roll in to finish the job if necessary.

Most of their main forces were still at the borders waiting to mount an attack on the Celestials, but never did they consider that the Celestials were so ferocious that they completely abandoned their territory and concentrated their entire force on attacking.

Most of the inferior Desolates only instinctively resisted for a very short period of time before feeling lost against the Celestials’ hostile takeovers. This was because they didn’t even know what they should be doing right now.

Most of these inferior Desolates came from the newest generation of Desolate, which were about 8-9 years old at most. When the Desolate Spirit used its authority to divert the world’s resources to one side, it afforded the Desolates a great number of Vitality Root Fetuses. There was a significantly higher number of high-quality Vitality Root Fetuses among them, but there were also plenty of inferior Vitality Root Fetuses.

Compared to those geniuses, there was no value in educating or nurturing these Desolates, so they were discarded without hesitation. Ever since they were young, they had been brainwashed with the thought that they exist to produce resources, resulting in a severe lack of a sense of self and mental capacities.

“Superior Desolates only need to focus on personal strength, while inferior Desolates had already begun to lose their intelligence. The Desolate civilization is anti-intelligence, and that’s why they would surely fail” Yun Yi sighed and commented.

…

That’s not to say that personal strength was unnecessary. Having enough strength is the foundation for a civilization to foster, as a civilization without enough strength was a castrated civilization.

This is the reason why military personnel had always enjoyed privileged treatment in any country, although there were always those who misunderstood and thought that military people actually serve them.

However, when a civilization, or a country, used nothing but martial law to rule, then the only path waiting for them would be destruction.

It could only be said that Negary had pressured the Desolate Spirit too much. Using only their authority struggle as an example, Negary began with having almost no authority and had now taken over half of the world’s original authority. The 20-year time limit that was mentioned before was simply the deadline until the Desolate Spirit’s death.

Meanwhile, the Desolate Spirit’s wisdom was built on nothing but the collective subconsciousness of a species that were still living as isolated tribes just ten years ago. Its vision might be a bit further thanks to a higher point of view, but compared to Negary, it was simply insignificant.

Within the Ancestral Wild, Negary’s consciousness had spread throughout the entire world, and the authorities of the Desolate Sacrifice world were slowly gathering towards him one by one.

Negary’s strongest point was his ability to learn. And Eternal Light’s actions in the Moon Tree world had left quite a deep impression on Negary.

Using the Pathway Entity Life Bearer as a ritual, he took on the authorities of the Moon Tree world, then attacked her and caused a reaction that forcefully pulled the Moon Tree world as a whole into his ritual.

If Negary and Red Tears hadn’t been able to escape at that time, Eternal Heat and Life Bearer would have been able to consume and refine their Pathways into their own. They would have been able to advance one step further instead of the way they currently were, still only a Pathway Entity, despite having become Eternal Light.

And Negary had made sure to study and learn from them. By the time he has a grasp of all of the world’s authorities, this entire world would become a gigantic ritual to help him resurrect. The phenomenon of breaking through one’s limit and achieving a better self was growing increasingly numerous within this world, which had become a crucial factor within his resurrection.

「 NO!!! 」the Desolate Spirit continued to struggle, but its waning trend was already visibly clear.

The Desolate Sacrifice world was gradually discarding it, its status slowly falling from one-third of the world spirit to become the God of the Desolate race.

From this moment on, the Desolate Spirit had lost the qualifications to be Negary’s opponent, his place in the Ancestral Wild had fallen, pulled down by the very [Protagonist] that he had selected.

…

Facing a total invasion that broke apart their chain of supply, the Desolates had chosen to exert their greatest strength to mount one final struggle.

Over these few years, they hadn’t simply stagnated either, and Meng Luo’s [Protagonist] status hadn’t completely disappeared. He had taken advantage of his high position to learn some of the most recently developed Cede curses, then burned away the last of his ‘luck’ to utilize this knowledge and enter a state of enlightenment.

The Totem Deprivation technique had been combined with his Inner God state to create a Cede curse that allowed him to ascend and become a God. Meng Luo deceived the remaining 12 Grand Shamans, saying that he wanted to perform a Cede curse of self-sacrifice and that he needed some Warriors as an offering.

The 12 Grand Shamans naturally agreed to this without much thought. They could also see the gradual dilapidation of the Desolate, while not as clearly as Meng Luo himself, and since the President wanted to sacrifice himself, who are they to stop him?

The Desolates didn’t have much remaining except Warriors, so they had no qualms with sacrificing a group of Warriors as an offering.

And so, a group of Warriors was swiftly summoned, then knocked unconscious with sedative smoke.

Meng Luo then handed over a so-called ‘control technique’ to the 12 Grand Shamans before manifesting his serpent Totem and had the Totem devour his own body.

At this point, the 12 Grand Shamans were even praising his patriotism.

Ever since Meng Luo’s arm was lost, when he tried to turn his Totem into an arm, he had already harbored a certain crazy idea.

It was common knowledge that the Desolates cannot completely wield their Totems; even a Grand Shaman who had fused his Inner Aspect with his Totem would still maintain a relationship of the one dedicating offerings and the one receiving offerings.

However, his Totem Deprivation technique would result in a small part of the deprived individual’s grudge to remain within the Totem, so Meng Luo’s idea was to perform the Totem Deprivation technique on himself while preserving his consciousness like a grudge that takes up a part of the Totem, then use the Totem like his own body.

After all, even normal Shamans can have their souls temporarily possess their Totems, the only issue was that when their covenant of offering with the Totem was broken, the Totem’s massive internal force would naturally eradicate the soul.

Of course, this Cede curse still had limitations. Meng Luo knew that his consciousness was insignificant compared to the Totem, so if he simply used the Reverse Totem Deprivation on himself, the only thing he would be able to leave behind was a bit of grudge inside the Totem, which was why he needed offerings.

As he slowly controlled the Totem to devour himself, the Reverse Totem Deprivation also began to take effect. Meng Luo could feel his soul being devoured during the ritual, the excruciating pain of his soul being ripped apart bit by bit made him understand why those he deprived in the past felt so much grudge towards him.

A beast tooth appeared and slowly radiated light, thanks to its power, Meng Luo was able to pull his consciousness higher and higher and regained control over his Totem. His ‘Inner God’ state allowed him to borrow the Ancestral Wild’s power to control everything in the outside world, and he was currently using this power to temporarily take control of the serpent Totem.

The serpent then opened its glowing red irises and devoured the fallen Warriors, depriving their Totems one by one by turning them into pure Source Energy.

The serpent’s body grew rapidly and so did its presence.

Seeing the offerings being devoured by the serpent, the 12 Grand Shamans nodded with satisfaction. Even they weren’t a match for this kind of powerful Totem, so it would serve excellently as a tactical weapon to turn the tides of war and crush the Celestials.

They then swiftly used control technique Meng Luo handed them and began to pour their Cede into the serpent’s crimson vertical iris through a Cede curse.

At the very next second, the serpent’s vertical iris turned to look at them. The boundless grudge rushed through the Cede connection and attacked their minds. Since all of these Warriors were devoured alive, all of their grudges had accumulated inside the serpent Totem.

The control technique was indeed capable of taking control over the serpent, but what they needed to face before that was the immense grudge of those who had been devoured.

Taking this opportunity, Meng Luo controlled the serpent and devoured the 12 Grand Shamans as well.

What was the original reason why Meng Luo wanted to become the Desolates’ President? Authority and power, as well as to no longer be under others.

So what if the Desolates can’t win against the Celestials?

I’m going to use this opportunity and become a God!
