Chapter 321: Gathering of the Supreme Powerhouses! Campaign Against the Centipede

Took a direct hit from a nuclear bomb and survived?

The centipede monster's terrifying defense shocked the entire world.

There had been speculation before that this centipede monster possessed Beast King-level strength, but many had doubted it.

Now, the truth was undeniable.

A single nuclear strike was enough to prove just how terrifying this centipede monster was.

Not only was its destructive power immense, but its defense was also monstrous—practically invincible.

Soon after—

Countless people began to panic.

A monster this powerful was definitely not good news for ordinary humanity!

Judging by its bloodthirsty nature, wherever this centipede monster went, it would bring utter devastation!

The scariest part? No one could stop it!

Unlike the Beast Kings.

Though the Beast Kings were terrifying, they usually vanished after causing chaos for a few hours.

But this centipede monster was a mutated human.

In other words, if no one stopped it, it could remain on Blue Star indefinitely...

That was truly terrifying!

It might even destroy all of human civilization!!

Damn those animals in Waguo! They really don't know how to act like human beings!

...

Just then—

Someone leaked news that the number of "missing persons" in Waguo was far more serious than previously thought. Originally, Waguo still had six cities barely hanging on, with a total population of 20–30 million.

But a month ago, the population started dropping drastically.

Now, aside from Kyoto which still had a few people, the other five cities had already become ghost towns—completely devoid of human presence.

Waguo's total population had decreased by over 90% compared to a month ago.

Only those monsters and their kin remained.

This news stunned the entire internet again!

"Holy crap!! Are all the Waguo people basically dead now?"

"It only took one month to lose over 20 million people? What kind of madness is that?"

"So it was this centipede monster that ate everyone in its own country? And now it's causing chaos next door?"

"Does this mean Waguo is already effectively extinct?"

"Now this centipede monster has its eyes on Waguo's neighbor—those folks are doomed!"

"Yeah! Even nukes can't stop this monster—what else could possibly work?"

"Worst part is, Waguo's neighbor doesn't have any super strong powerhouses! If they had someone like that, maybe there'd be a chance!"

"Chance my ass. A monster like that is already beyond human capability."

"Sigh! Those beasts in Waguo really are insane. Creating such a creature—they deserve national extinction."

"We have to stop it. This monster clearly evolves by eating people. If it keeps feeding, it'll just grow stronger and more horrifying!"

...

The centipede monster created by Waguo had now become the focus of the entire internet.

Not just ordinary users—even the global leadership was keeping a close eye on its movements.

As ridiculous as it sounded, and as reluctant as they were to admit it...

The truth was, this centipede monster was too powerful. If it was given enough time, it could destroy human civilization!

For a while—

The whole world was gripped with unease.

Soon—

Waguo's neighbor issued a public plea for help to all major nations.

In their words, eliminating the centipede monster wasn't just about saving them—it was about saving the world!

Right now, Waguo's neighbor still had about ten million people left.

If those people were devoured by the centipede monster, it would grow even stronger and more unstoppable!

At that point, it would not spare a single human on Earth.

Everyone knew that Waguo's neighbor was desperate, appealing to justice to gain support.

But the facts were undeniable—if the centipede monster continued evolving, the entire world could be in danger.

Capital City!

Inside Ba Liming's dojo.

Chen Ye was seated opposite Ba Liming, drinking tea while watching TV.

Chairman Chen had gone to handle some association affairs.

At this moment, the TV was broadcasting a spokesperson from a certain country, passionately denouncing the "Centipede Calamity." She concluded with a tearful plea, inviting the world's top supreme powerhouses to unite and kill the centipede monster...

But Chen Ye and Ba Liming both remained calm.

In this day and age—

That kind of talk no longer fooled anyone.

"Chen Ye, what do you think of XX Nation's call for heroes?" Ba Liming asked.

Chen Ye thought for a moment and said, "They're not entirely wrong. A monster that evolves by eating people—if we don't eliminate it soon, it'll become a massive threat. By then, the cosmic overlord wouldn't even need to invade; humanity would already be wiped out by this thing."

Then, something occurred to Chen Ye.

"By the way, did those monsters in Waguo know that the cosmic overlord is about to arrive?"

"The higher-ups informed them, told them to convince the centipede monster to stop—but those animals didn't believe it!"

Ba Liming sighed. "In fact, they even argued the opposite—that precisely because the cosmic overlord is coming, they need to help the centipede monster evolve even more. That way, it would be humanity's last hope to stop the overlord."

At this point—

Ba Liming suddenly cursed, "Damn it! The worst part is... those bastards might actually have a point."

Chen Ye looked disgusted.

Waguo really was shameless.

Just then—

The TV anchor's tone suddenly became excited.

Breaking news: some supreme powerhouses had agreed to take on the mission to eliminate the centipede monster.

Among them were Samir from Asan Nation, and the Australian martial god, Li Wushen!

Upon hearing that Li Wushen would personally intervene, Ba Liming's eyes lit up.

"That guy's going too? Looks like I'd better make a trip myself."

Chen Ye was surprised.

"Shibo, didn't you say this monster was mine to handle?"

Ba Liming waved his hand. "You're our secret trump card. Best not to act unless absolutely necessary."

Chen Ye looked helpless.

Clearly, Ba Liming just got itchy after hearing Li Wushen was going and wanted to join in too.

Chen Ye recalled Li Wushen's performance during the Nationwide Secret Realm event—his strength was indeed impressive.

Especially that move "Qi Circle Slash"—it had even sliced off one of Ghidorah's heads.

But—

Even with that kind of strength, it might not be enough to kill the centipede monster!

Right now, this centipede monster was already comparable to the Elder Centipede from the original storyline—maybe even more vicious.

At that thought, Chen Ye frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, Ba Liming's phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Ba Liming didn't seem surprised and answered with a smile.

"Captain Qin? You calling me now... planning to go too? Ha, I was just thinking the same... What? You sense danger?... Chen Ye? He's here... Okay, got it."

After hanging up—

Ba Liming's brow furrowed.

Chen Ye immediately asked, "Shibo, what did Captain Qin say?"

Ba Liming replied truthfully, "She said that guy Li isn't completely confident, so he invited her to help. Then she asked if I wanted to join too. After I agreed, she suddenly said she sensed danger... and then, when she heard you were with me, said she'd be coming here shortly."

Ba Liming's expression turned a little strange as the conversation went on.

Wasn't his junior brother worried about something like this before?

Not even ten minutes later—

Qin Muyin arrived at the dojo.

She flew there.

"Captain Qin, welcome, welcome!" Ba Liming said politely.

"President Ba is too kind."

Qin Muyin looked at Chen Ye and smiled. "Chen Ye, we meet again. I never got a chance to thank you for the National Secret Realm championship last time. I heard you'll be staying in the capital for a while? I must show you some proper hospitality."

Chen Ye replied, "No problem. Once the centipede monster is dealt with, Qin-jie, just call and I'll be there."

After the pleasantries, the three sat down together.

Qin Muyin sighed. "The monster created by Waguo is already on par with a Beast King. This mission is extremely dangerous. There might be unexpected variables."

Ba Liming frowned slightly at those words.

"Shibo, let me go instead!" Chen Ye spoke up. "I was thinking, while we're at it, we might as well destroy that cursed island too. A bunch of monsters still dreaming of taking our Central Plains? They're courting death! They're already a dead nation anyway."

Ba Liming was stunned.

This guy... he talks about destroying a whole nation and a massive island like it's nothing?

"That island isn't small—over 300,000 square kilometers. What's your plan?" Ba Liming asked.

Chen Ye patted his forehead and grinned. "Shibo, I forgot to mention—I have another identity."

"Oh?"

"The Divine Dragon that stirred up a storm last year... was actually me."

Ba Liming was absolutely trustworthy, so there was no issue telling him.

Besides—

Chen Ye wasn't that intent on hiding his identity anymore.

To his surprise, Ba Liming's eyes gleamed, but he didn't look all that surprised.

"I suspected as much long ago!"

Chen Ye wasn't surprised either.

Before he could say anything, Ba Liming continued, "Regardless, I still say the same thing—you're our hidden trump card. Don't reveal yourself unless absolutely necessary."

"Why?" Chen Ye asked in confusion.

He really didn't understand—when a monster threatening all of humanity was on the loose, why was he still being held back?

Seeing Ba Liming remain silent, Qin Muyin seemed to grasp something and said from the side, "Chen Ye, your Shibo hopes that if the cosmic overlord does arrive, and proves truly unstoppable, you'll be our final backup plan."

Chen Ye was momentarily stunned before realization dawned, and his feelings grew complicated.

Ba Liming admitted directly, "It took you only two years to reach your current level. That proves your growth didn't rely on secret realms. What you really need... is time, isn't it?"

Chen Ye nodded.

That was easy to figure out.

Even a super-advanced secret realm would only grant around 200 potential points.

He had only completed eight so far—there was no way just eight secret realms could create someone like him.

Ba Liming added, "If the cosmic overlord really comes, we'll do everything we can to stall for time. Unless it's the final moment—you must not act."

Hearing this—

Chen Ye sighed.

Then, a thought came to him, and he said, "Shibo, what if I go with you as 'Long Aotian' instead?"

Ba Liming blinked.

Qin Muyin's eyes lit up instantly. She smiled. "That's a great idea! So far, very few people know Long Aotian's true identity. With you backing us, we'll have no problems this trip."

Ba Liming thought it over and nodded in agreement.

Thus—

The plan was set.

Qin Muyin stood and said, "No time to waste. Let's move out!"

Ba Liming, being a decisive type, agreed immediately.

A few minutes later—

A transport plane departed from the capital, heading straight for Yanbian.

On board, Chen Ye had already changed his appearance, now looking like a blond-haired youth wearing a helmet.

The Long Aotian persona—had returned once more!

...

Upon arriving in Yanbian—

Qin Muyin said, "Li Wushen and the others are already here. Let's go meet up."

Ba Liming asked, "How many came?"

"Three," Qin Muyin replied while piloting. "Besides the guy from India and Li Wushen, the one from Bear Country is here too."

Ba Liming asked, "What about the people across the ocean?"

He was clearly referring to the Americans.

Qin Muyin snorted, "When would a master personally deal with a disobedient dog? Even now, when it no longer listens, they still want to use it to weaken us."

Ba Liming said nothing more.

Soon—

The transport plane landed on the rooftop helipad of a tall building.

At that moment, quite a few people were already standing on the rooftop.

Through the window, Chen Ye saw several familiar figures.

As the three disembarked from the transport, a group of officials came forward smiling.

Nearby, reporters were filming with cameras.

This was, of course, to publicize the arrival of the heroes who had come to help.

After all, they were about to do something this big—calling it "saving the world" wouldn't be an exaggeration. They couldn't let these heroes remain unknown.

"Oh! Distinguished guests! I didn't expect Mr. Ba and Ms. Qin to come in person. On behalf of the great XX Republic, I welcome the three of you!"

This official actually spoke Chinese—clearly prepared in advance.

Yanbian had shown its sincerity.

Then, the official turned to "Long Aotian" and couldn't help but ask, "And this is?"

The nearby camera zoomed in on Chen Ye.

"This is the top powerhouse we invited—Long Aotian! Whether or not the centipede monster can be defeated depends entirely on him."

Qin Muyin introduced him.

At those words, everyone present was stunned.

Ba Liming frowned. "Enough with the formalities—killing the monster comes first!"

"Ah! Yes, of course..." the official quickly nodded and led them to meet the other three.

"Ms. Qin, Old Ba—long time no see!"

The one who greeted them first was none other than the Martial God himself!

As top powerhouses, they'd all interacted before and were fairly familiar with each other.

Especially Ba Liming—he had once challenged the Martial God.

Of course, he'd lost miserably and barely made it back alive...

"Li! And the other two—it's been a while," Qin Muyin greeted them.

But Ba Liming's gaze locked onto Li Wushen, his fighting spirit surging:

"Thanks for going easy on me fifteen years ago. Recently, I've made some new breakthroughs in martial arts. Once the centipede monster is defeated, shall we spar again?"

Li Wushen smiled and nodded. "Sure."

He actually agreed immediately.
