Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 506 Nostalgia

Ji Fuyou constantly activated the power of the Void God Realm to shroud the moonlight.

Although twelfth-order beings have extremely high control over their own essence, energy, and spirit, he cannot accurately perceive the spiritual fluctuations they emit and analyze their thoughts as he can with ninth-order and tenth-order beings.

However, it can be determined that the heavenly general was not lying.

The strongest beings in the Snow Region civilization are the Twelve Heavenly Generals.

Only when facing an opponent that neither the Twelve Heavenly Generals nor the King of the Snow Kingdom can defeat will the King of the Snow Kingdom summon the Snow God to descend and use the Snow God's power to turn the tide.

Summoning the Snow God requires a large-scale operation and can take one or two months.

At that moment, Ji Fuyou directly took this celestial general on a void-traveling journey, arriving at the capital star of the Snow Kingdom.

A large star completely covered in ice and snow, as if it had entered an ice age.

Although this planet is like a snowball, the people who can live in the capital are often of extraordinary birth, strong and healthy, and can effectively resist the wind and snow, resulting in as many as 30 billion people living in the snow country on this planet.

Here, Ji Fuyou met the King of the Snow Kingdom.

Furthermore, it formally demonstrated the cataclysmic power of legendary experts.

Under such circumstances, even the King of the Snow Kingdom had no choice but to agree to Ji Fuyou's request.

Despite having a king and twelve heavenly generals—a total of thirteen twelfth-tier powerhouses—the Snow Kingdom didn't have a single true legendary figure who achieved that status through their own strength.

This is clearly some kind of unseen rule that is a constraint and punishment for their path to demigodhood.

Without any external assistance, this lineup would not be able to withstand the seventh round of the Heavenly Ranking War 24 years later.

They understood this, which is why they agreed in the face of Ji Fuyou's threats and pressure.

……

"Two months?"

After completing this "deal," Ji Fuyou couldn't help but think of this point in time.

Even if he arrives in the snowy region ahead of time, he will still have to wait one or two months for the Snow God to descend.

At that moment, a question couldn't help but arise in his mind.

"If the Snow God of the Snow Country needs to prepare one or two months in advance before officially descending, what will happen one or two months later if I don't arrive in the Snow Country in advance? Will the Snow Country take the initiative to invade Red Star?"

He glanced at the distance between Red Star and Snow Country.

The two civilizations are separated by far more than just a tiny bit.
They have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

but……

Ji Fuyou seemed to have thought of something, and turned his gaze to Tianjiang Yuehui, who was standing beside him: "Has the Snow Kingdom ever gone to war with the Lava Spider Clan?"

Moonlight paused for a moment, then immediately said, "That's right. Our conflict with the Lava Giant Spiders has lasted for decades. Over the years, we've been trying to eliminate their peripheral forces while simultaneously attempting to breach their homeworld. However, while the peripheral forces are relatively easy to deal with, their homeworld is filled with lava, volcanoes, and geothermal activity, which greatly restrains the creatures of our Snow Kingdom..."

"Eliminate external forces..."

Ji Fuyou stared at the Snow Kingdom general: "How do you deal with the external forces?"

Although Moonbeam didn't know why a legend would be interested in such a thing, he still explained: "Usually, we would first send our clansmen who are good at disguise to determine the strength of those peripheral forces, and then set up coordinates, open the spatial gate, and send troops into it."

Ji Fuyou rummaged through his storage belt and quickly pulled out a token that had been covered in dust for many years: "Is this the token of your Snow Kingdom's scouts?"

Upon seeing this, Yuehui was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "This style... is the token for our outermost reconnaissance personnel..."

After hearing this, Ji Fuyou had a question that was answered.

He had previously assumed that the Snowfield Civilization wanted to cooperate with the civilization behind Blood Moon Canyon, because the Snowfield Snowmen, like the spiders of Blood Moon Canyon, feared the sunlight that the Holy Venerable of Rainbow Sun Gate had transformed into. But now it seemed…

The mutated spiders in Blood Moon Canyon were specifically targeted by the Holy Venerable, but the Snowmen of the Snowfield are countered...

It can only be said that it was a coincidence brought about by their racial defects.

The snowmen from the snowy region entered the Eternal Day Secret Realm several times before, not to join forces with Blood Moon Canyon, but to scout out the outer forces of the Lava Spider Clan.

To some extent...

The Blood Moon Demon King and his Blood Moon Canyon were indeed a force branched off from the Lava Spider King's command.

"So, even if I hadn't come, with the death of the Lava Spider King, the Snow Kingdom would have discovered that this great enemy had been annihilated by a powerful figure. After some investigation, they would have discovered the Eternal Day Secret Realm and the Crimson Star... Moreover, my methods of annihilating the Lava Clan were ruthless, equivalent to directly destroying that planet... In their fear, they would have made preparations in advance, summoning the Snow God to deal with the potential crisis that might spread..."

Having reached this point in his thoughts, Ji Fuyou had seemingly figured out the cause and effect involved.

but……

The cause and effect have been clarified, and the process has been different, but the final result remains unchanged.

What's meant to happen will happen anyway.

Thinking of the ice trolls...

Or rather, the Star-Devouring Demon that will follow the Snow God. Ji Fuyou said in a deep voice, "Although I will be fighting your Snow God in two months, I don't have much time left, so these two months cannot be wasted."

He commanded in an unquestionable tone: "For the next two months, the Snow Kingdom must publicize this war so that after my victory I can better and more directly become the new Snow God and be accepted by all the people of the Snow Kingdom!"

"publicity……"

Yuehui hesitated for a moment, but still agreed: "Okay."

If Ji Fuyou can truly defeat the Snow God, then promoting him is perfectly acceptable.

If we can't win...

In the end, the Snow Kingdom suffered no loss; on the contrary, it strengthened the faith of all the creatures in the Snow Kingdom in the Snow God.

"Go ahead and do it. I don't want anything to go wrong. For all of us, the continuation of civilization is more important than anything else."

Ji Fuyou said calmly.

Yuehui understood his implication and immediately felt a chill. She quickly replied, "I understand. There won't be any accidents."

……

After returning from the Snow Country, Ji Fuyou did not return to Mars.

He arrived at Fulong Mountain in Xingguang City.

The last monster has been found, and the final battle will take place in two months.

After we defeat this monster...

That was the moment the star-devouring monster descended.

Similarly, it is also the point at which the dream ends.

So... he unknowingly returned to where he started.

Compared to four years ago, the area around Fulong Mountain has undergone significant changes.

Not only were all the various farmhouses and residents at the foot of the mountain relocated, but the entire mountain was also sealed off from the outside world.

The reason for the lockdown...

It's him.

"There was a time when I was cynical and resentful of those in power who occupied their territories and abused public resources for private gain. Now, those who don't know the truth probably see me the same way..."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

Of course, he knew that he was different from those who truly abused their power for personal gain; what he did was not motivated by self-interest.

Everything is for the future of Red Star.

but……

Who would think about it in detail?

"future……"

Ji Fuyou muttered to himself.

"In the future, when the Star-Devouring Demon devours the entire world, I will see an unparalleled swordsman, slicing through the heavens with his sword, to confront that demon... But who will it be?"

Ji Fuyou's mind flashed through everyone he had ever met.

This includes Song Lingxiao, Zhao Changkong, Zuo Chunqiu, and Gu Qing, whom he had previously considered as potential candidates…

But now it seems that no one fits the bill.

In addition, he was also a little curious.

Who are the fragments and scenes he sees in his dreams?

or……

Who exactly are these people?

"More than one."

Ji Fuyou said, "It's dozens or hundreds."

Each dream represents a different individual and a different perspective.

The accumulation of these people's perspectives and perceptions ultimately formed that precognitive dream.

but……

Soon, everything will be revealed.

Half a year, or even a few months.

Ji Fuyou said in a low voice, "Over the past four years, I have been cautious and trembling. I have never dared to relax for even a moment. Although I am the president of the Red Star United Defense Council and have all kinds of honors, I have never really enjoyed these benefits. Now... the moment when the answer will be completely revealed is finally approaching."

As this moment drew near, Ji Fuyou was unsure whether he should be looking forward to it or feeling worried.

Just then, he seemed to sense something.

But then he saw a group of nearly ten people, of varying ages, descending the mountain quickly and heading straight for him.

"Floating".

Ji Qingqing, who was at the head of the group, waved to him from afar.

Beside her were Yu Xiaoyu, Ji Xinghe, Yu Ling, Lu Xingchen, Lu Yao, and others.

Ji Fuyou quickly gathered information from the Void God Realm and realized what was going on.

For Ji Qingqing and Yu Xiaoyu, today was just an ordinary morning. Taking advantage of their free time, they took Ji Xinghe out for a hike and a spring outing.

That's it.

As for why they would come for Ji Fuyou...

However, Lu Xingchen, who had refined a portion of Star Soul Liquid and was acting as both driver and bodyguard, sensed Ji Fuyou's presence and informed them.

This is a coincidence.

Having learned this, Ji Fuyou found it inconvenient to leave immediately.

They immediately went to meet them.

"Floating, what brings you here? You didn't even tell us. Let's go hiking together."

Ji Qingqing said with some surprise.

"Come and see..."

Ji Fuyou said, then added, "Just reminiscing."

"Are you... free now?"

Ji Qingqing was surprised.

"I'm free... I guess I'd say I'm free, but it depends on what you have to do."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Let's go hiking together."

As Ji Qingqing spoke, she called out to Yu Xiaoyu and Ji Xinghe.

Yu Xiaoyu quickly pulled Ji Xinghe over and said to him, "Dad's here, call him Dad."

but……

Ji Xinghe's gaze toward Ji Fuyou was noticeably unfamiliar.

So much so that when Ji Fuyou's gaze fell on him, the two-year-old boy even hid behind Yu Xiaoyu.

"You come back too rarely."

Ji Qingqing said, "Of course, I know you're very busy, but if you have free time like today, you can still come back to see Xinghe, see Xiaoyu, and see us."

She looked at Ji Fuyou and said, "Especially Xinghe... You missed his full moon, you missed his first birthday, you couldn't see the agility of his first steps, and you couldn't hear the surprise of his first words..."

Ji Fuyou listened to her seemingly reasonable words, looked at Ji Xinghe, and immediately fell silent.
