Chapter 344: Shock! Standing Before You Is the Bald Demon King

"Mom, don't worry! I'm stepping forward not out of nobility, but because... I really think I have the ability to resolve this crisis."

Chen Ye said, "If I can't deal with the aliens, I'll leave. With my current strength, if I want to go, no one can stop me."

He spoke sincerely for a long time.

Only then did his mother, Yang Rongzhi, reluctantly agree, still wiping away tears as she worried for him.

Chen Ye, feeling a headache coming on, added, "Mom, you have to believe me! Your son is really strong. If you don't believe me, ask Dad!"

At that, Chen Ye turned to his father. "Dad, during your meeting, wasn't Captain Qin calm the whole time?"

Chairman Chen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought seriously before replying, "There were a lot of people at the meeting... but yes, Captain Qin did seem unusually quiet. She didn't speak at all."

"That's because Captain Qin has the ability to sense danger ahead of time!" Chen Ye smiled. "She didn't feel any danger, so she was calm."

Chairman Chen's eyes lit up.

That actually made sense!

"You rascal, how do you know what Captain Qin was thinking?" he asked suspiciously. "Did she tell you?"

Chen Ye grinned. "It was Tang Zichen. She also awakened the ability to sense danger in advance."

At that point, Chen Ye couldn't help but feel puzzled.

His spiritual power was already greater than Tang Zichen's.

If she could reach the level of "unseeing, unhearing—sensing danger and avoiding it" with just over three thousand points, why couldn't he?

Was it Little Tornado's innate ability?

No, that's not right!

In the original story, Little Tornado didn't have the ability to foresee the future...

"Oh? That child from the Tang family awakened that kind of ability too?"

Both Chairman Chen and Yang Rongzhi looked surprised.

Tang Zichen had only told Chen Ye about her ability. No one else knew.

Chen Ye nodded with a smile. "Zichen told me. She said there's no danger."

"I see..."

Chairman Chen visibly relaxed.

Then he asked, "Son, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"Dad, just stay home and protect Mom!" said Chen Ye. "Leave the rest to me."

Chairman Chen fell silent for a moment, then asked, "When do you plan to act?"

Chen Ye replied, "I'll wait until they descend. I still can't survive in outer space for long. Fighting out there would affect my performance."

Chairman Chen thought for a while, then suddenly got dressed and headed outside. "I need to report this to the higher-ups. We can't afford to lose coordination at a time like this."

...

For the humans on Blue Star—

That night was sheer torment!

Their mood could only be compared to that of death row inmates, knowing they were to be executed the next day.

That helpless despair, combined with longing for their loved ones, was an unbearable feeling.

The Xia Nation was relatively stable.

The military and police acted quickly to quell unrest, preventing widespread chaos.

But things were much worse abroad, especially in countries with civilian access to firearms—those places were unmanageable.

Plus, due to time zone differences, it was still daytime in the West, making the situation even more chaotic...

In those ten hours, who knew how many people died in various riots and clashes...

Time ticked by.

No matter how unbearable, dawn eventually arrived.

As the morning light bathed the earth, it brought a trace of warmth.

But in people's hearts, there was only coldness.

Ten hours—

Had finally passed.

Everyone, almost simultaneously, looked up at the sky.

Before long—

A massive object broke through the sky, appearing overhead.

It was a black spaceship!

In outer space, black provided the best camouflage, so most spaceships were painted black.

Its design wasn't unusual—it was circular—but its size was immense!

As it descended, it blotted out the sky like a continent falling from the heavens.

Alongside it were several smaller warships escorting it from both sides.

Whether by coincidence or not—

The ship landed directly over the capital of the Xia Nation, and its footprint was only slightly smaller than the entire city itself.

Seeing this, the people of the capital were overcome with horror and despair...

At that moment—

Chen Ye looked up at the ship, deeply surprised.

He remembered that in the original story, the spaceship of the galactic overlord Boros was long and forked at the front, like a trident.

But this one was roundish.

What was going on?

Did Boros change ships?

Whether it was Boros or not—since it had come, Chen Ye had to act!

Just as Chen Ye prepared to strike—

Another sudden change occurred.

All phones, computers, and televisions were once again hijacked by the aliens.

Above, the giant spaceship paused. Below it, a colossal holographic screen appeared.

On that screen, a video began playing—it was the footage of the battle between the powerful fighters and Elder Centipede.

Everyone's phones showed the same video.

It wasn't very long—about two minutes, clearly edited.

Once it ended, the armored alien reappeared on the screen.

"In the video you just saw, several individuals demonstrated impressive abilities. Lord Boros has taken an interest in them and wishes to offer you a chance to change your fate."

"Next, Lord Boros wants to stretch his limbs. If anyone can last ten minutes under Lord Boros's assault, then he is willing to give you one more year."

"During that year, as many of you as possible can try to escape."

"According to the data we've gathered, your people have been researching spaceship technology and have made impressive progress..."

"One year from now, we will return to take over this planet—provided someone can survive ten minutes against Lord Boros!!"

"You have half an hour to decide!"

Upon hearing this—

All of humanity was stunned!

Then, a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes...

"Wait... Boros? Is he the leader of these aliens?"

"Damn! Quick, someone call Lord Long Aotian!"

"We thought it was over, but is this a turning point?"

"Turning point, my ass. The aliens are clearly toying with us. This Boros must be terrifying—Long Aotian might not even survive."

"They just said we only need to last ten minutes..."

"Wait, did that alien imply we humans have already mastered a lot of spaceship tech? Are they talking about our country? Was all that metal collection earlier for building a spaceship?"

"Holy crap! So the higher-ups have been secretly preparing an escape plan all along? Did they know aliens were coming?"

"Now's not the time to argue about that. What matters most is whether the top fighters will step up—especially Lord Long Aotian..."

"Phones are working again. Quick, post online and start a petition! Beg Lord Long Aotian to fight!"

...

On the streets—

Many pedestrians gathered and discussed fervently.

With the internet back, countless users flooded forums, begging the top-tier fighters to step forward and save humanity.

Among the chatter—

The name "Long Aotian" appeared more frequently than any other.

In the villa—

Chen Ye was only stunned for a moment before immediately understanding the aliens' intent.

The reason they didn't pull this stunt at the very beginning, but waited until now, was a sign of their cunning.

Because by this point, after a night of fear and despair, humanity was on the brink of hopelessness. The sudden appearance of a sliver of hope would naturally be grasped with all their strength.

Just look at the surge of online petitions flooding the forums—it said everything.

This way, even if the powerful individuals like "Long Aotian" didn't plan to reveal themselves at first, they would now be forced by public pressure to come forward.

With the fate of all humanity weighing on their shoulders, who could stay indifferent?

Additionally—

Boros's decision to stage a "duel" likely wasn't out of mere boredom. There had to be another motive.

Those who had fought against Elder Centipede were some of humanity's strongest—icons and spiritual pillars for the masses.

If Boros were to defeat them in front of all humanity, the psychological blow would be massive!

This move was meant to shatter human confidence.

Once hope was lost, submission would follow more easily.

But why did Boros want this planet?

Chen Ye could only guess—

Most likely, it was also because he came from another world.

This planet was about to become a battlefield of the myriad realms...

Though dangerous, the battlefield of the myriad realms also represented endless opportunities!

...

These thoughts flickered through Chen Ye's mind in an instant.

"Son..."

Suddenly, Yang Rongzhi grabbed Chen Ye's arm tightly.

As if she feared her son might disappear at any moment.

Feeling her concern and anxiety, Chen Ye patted her hand and gave her a confident smile.

"Mom, don't worry! I was already confident before. Now that I just have to last ten minutes, I'm even more certain," Chen Ye said with a grin.

Even without all these flashy alien theatrics—

He had already decided to step forward.

Chairman Chen said nothing, only sighed and gave Chen Ye's shoulder a firm pat.

"Mom, I'll be back soon. Wait for me at home!" said Chen Ye.

The aliens had only given them thirty minutes—there was no time to waste.

"Son, you must come back safe." Yang Rongzhi's eyes were full of tears and reluctance, but she still encouraged him, "Go for it. Mom is proud of you!"

Chen Ye nodded firmly.

Then slowly rose into the air.

At the same time—

In two other directions, two more figures took flight.

They were Qin Muyin and Ba Liming.

Ba Liming used Moonwalk, bouncing step by step through the air. It seemed he had completely mastered the technique.

From the alien mothership, a massive floating arena had already been deployed high in the sky.

The three flew toward it with perfect coordination.

As they landed on the gigantic platform, their figures instantly appeared on the massive holographic projection beside it.

Clearly—

The aliens intended to livestream this battle in real time—for the entire world to see!

Countless citizens and netizens were instantly stirred!

"They're here! The two top-tier powerhouses from the capital are here!"

"I knew it! With Chairman Ba's and Goddess Qin's character, they would definitely stand up."

"Chairman Ba and Goddess Qin, you're the pride of humanity! Our true heroes!"

"Wait... who's that bald guy in the middle? He looks really familiar."

"Shame on you! You don't recognize Young Master Chen?"

"No way... Young Master Chen's strength is, what, Tier 5 at best? What's he doing in a fight of this level?"

"Don't say that. No matter what, anyone who dares step forward now is a hero. A great hero!"

"I respect Young Master Chen's courage, and he deserves to be called a hero. But honestly, he doesn't need to join a battle this high-level. He's just going to get himself killed. He'd be better off staying home to protect his family!"

"Wait—Young Master Chen's here. But where's Long Aotian? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Maybe he's not in the capital? There's still thirty minutes—maybe he's on his way!"

"These aliens are ridiculous. Only thirty minutes? What, do they think humans can teleport? Aside from these few in the capital, no one else will make it in time."

"Heh. Isn't it obvious? They're messing with us on purpose!"

...

On the arena.

The three gathered together.

Seeing Chen Ye's current appearance, Qin Muyin smiled. "Not going with the Long Aotian persona this time?"

Chen Ye shrugged. "At this point, what name I use doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is winning."

Ba Liming immediately asked, "Chen Ye, how confident are you?"

"I haven't even seen the enemy yet. I have no idea how strong he is," Chen Ye replied.

Ba Liming was a smart man. Noticing Qin Muyin's relaxed expression, he caught on quickly and smiled slightly.

"Chen Ye, how about I go up first? Test the alien's strength?"

Chen Ye shook his head. "No need, Master. The aliens definitely won't be traditional martial artists."

He knew a bit about Boros.

If Ba Liming went up first, he might get killed...

Ba Liming had only made a casual suggestion. He patted Chen Ye on the shoulder.

"This time, it's all on you. Go for it!"

Chen Ye nodded.

The arena was vast and empty.

But—

The conversation among the three clearly reached the ears of all humans.

The aliens had set up a sound relay, probably planning for humanity to hear their strongest fighters scream and wail—to crush all resistance.

What they didn't expect—

Was that Chen Ye would reveal his identity...

Of course—

At this point, Chen Ye didn't care anymore.

"What the hell? What are they saying?"

"Young Master Chen... is Long Aotian? That can't be true!"

"Damn! This is earth-shattering news! My brain just exploded!"

"H-How could Young Master Chen be Long Aotian? They don't even look alike! The height difference alone is massive."

"Bro, there's a special martial art that allows you to compress your bones and change your body shape. But it requires immense muscle control—it's very rare."

"I still can't believe it. But I know Chairman Ba and Goddess Qin would never lie..."

"No wonder Young Master Chen dared to step onto the stage..."

"Wait! Didn't Young Master Chen's hero awakening during the livestream show a white glow?"

"Instruments make mistakes. Besides, he probably awakened S1—that legendary god-tier talent. Maybe god-tier glows are just white!"
