Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 468 Devastated
Even with Li Xia's current composure, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Aowu's words.

His face suddenly darkened; those people gave him the impression of being extremely unreliable.

He even began to doubt whether Guangming really wanted to win, and wondered what Guangming was doing.

He suddenly remembered that Chaotuo had once said that the entire attention of the Hall of Light was drawn to something, precisely because of lax internal management.

That's how easily they managed to infiltrate their ranks.

etc----

Li Xia, who was flying wildly, suddenly stopped, roared and rushed far away before turning back.

He looked at Li Xia with some confusion, whose expression was unpredictable.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"Awoo. What do you think is the purpose of the Hall of Fame? Is it just to train apostles?"

Li Xia said slowly, "These questions are obviously too far away for a third-tier player, and they are not even questions that a third-tier player should be considering."

Those below the ninth rank are nothing but ants; how could they possibly be qualified to consider matters at the level of the Hall of Immortals?
But Li Xia is different; besides being a 2-star executioner of the Hall of Light and a third-tier apostle...

It was also the first generation of the once supreme hall of power—the Hall of Transcendence!

The only apostle who is connected to the transcendent destiny and shares life and death with it!

"I don't think so. The apostles are only a part of the temple, but not the whole of it."

As for the purpose of the temple's existence... well, I really don't know.

Xiao Long said cautiously that as a 'remnant' of transcendence, many things in its bloodline memory inheritance were not yet unlocked.

I really didn't know how to answer Li Xia's question.

"If the temple has any meaning, then the current state of light is irrational yet incredibly stable and entrenched."
It's rare to find someone with genius-level talent who climbs the ranks step by step.

It's somewhat like class stratification has solidified, and the position of the representative is almost unshakeable.

Li Xia's voice grew lower and lower as he spoke, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter:

"But what if the purpose of light is not to cultivate apostles? Cultivating apostles is merely a means to achieve that purpose."

"hiss!"

Awoo gasped in shock.
"That's possible! At least it could explain the chaos in the Guangming area."

If we continue thinking along these lines…

Xiao Long's eyes widened even more:
"In other words, the current situation most likely involves the Temple of Light rushing forward on its own, neglecting its own development?"

Li Xia nodded, took a deep breath, and was about to speak.

Suddenly, various panicked messages flooded the platform:
"The enemy is coming!"

"Under attack! The enemy has a group teleportation ability!"

"Help! Help me! There are so many people!"

Where are they? Where did everyone go?

The messages were chaotic and filled with a sense of panic.

Even amidst such chaos, both Li Xia and Ao Wu could see the despair and terror of those defending the tomb.

The people of the Kingdom of God swept away the reason of those on the side of light like a flood.

Aowu and Li Xia watched with grim faces as the number of survivors displayed on the platform kept jumping and decreasing.

The warmonger was frantically issuing all sorts of orders, some of which were even conflicting.

This seemingly impressive 'professional commander' on the starship, who could effortlessly employ any tactic, had entered a state of impotent rage.

In the end, they even started swearing and cursing, blaming the venue, the hall, and their teammates, and even Li Xia was affected.

"Useless! Damn it, this is Zhao Kuo! A mere armchair strategist!"

The little dragon was so angry that its whiskers fluttered.

"That's normal. There are very few world-level competitions for Tier 3. This is probably their first time participating."

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief; there was no point in rushing over now.

The nameless king's tomb is more than 5,000 kilometers away from Scholar City, which would take him at least three hours even at his speed. And those three hours would consume more than half of his true qi.

He originally rushed there because he thought that with their defenses, they could hold out for at least a few hours, and he could accept even if his side was at a great disadvantage.

At this moment, Li Xia led Aowu as a surprise force, and this force was extremely powerful, capable of changing the course of the battle.

It is highly likely that the situation can be reversed!
But Li Xia and Aowu never expected that the War Maniac and his more than 500 apostles wouldn't even last an hour.

They were utterly crushed by the divine kingdom with overwhelming force!

"Boss! It seems that the apostles of those divine kingdoms all bring divine servants with them. The one we met brought four divine servants with him."

Awoo suddenly interjected:
"If that's the case, then there are about three hundred apostles of the divine kingdom paired with at least a thousand divine servants?"

"The divine servants aren't very strong; at most, they're at the lower to middle level of the third tier, basically cannon fodder—"

Li Xia paused here:
"But they lost too quickly; they weren't even prepared for spatial containment."

"It should have been prepared, but it seems it was only used to protect the first and ninth floors. The war maniac said that going all out would consume too much energy."

Only two layers of early warning systems are maintained; once an enemy attack is detected, all layers will be deployed.

Aowu scrolled through the chat history and said with a strange expression.

[WARNING: The tombs of ancient monarchs have been breached by the enemy!!!]

[WARNING: The enemy's palace has occupied the 'Ancient King's Tomb' 'Ace University'!]

[WARNING: After 47:59:59, the enemy's Hall of Fame will win the World Championship!]

[Warning: Recapture the stronghold as soon as possible, win the world war, and defend the glory of the temple!]

The notifications for the Hall of Light kept popping up.

The number of survivors is clearly in the single digits and is still decreasing.

Then suddenly '2' jumped and became '1'.

In less than two hours, the defensive line of more than 500 apostles was directly crushed, and even almost all of them were slaughtered.

Looking at the ticking countdown, Aowu said somewhat anxiously:

"Boss, what do we do? This is a legacy we're passing down, are we just going to give it up like this?"

If Li Xia wanted to run away, the entire divine kingdom would absolutely not be able to stop him, and he would not be in any danger.

The rewards are even pretty good; 100 contribution points are equivalent to killing dozens of ordinary Divine Kingdom Apostles.

There's also the orange-tier equipment 'Nameless King's Sword' dropped by the Nameless King.

"Does Guangming even want to win? What's the point of sending a bunch of trash like this?"

Li Xia did not answer, but instead shut down the platform, leaving himself suspended high in the air.

The wind howled, making his clothes flutter, and the golden sunlight shone on the clouds, as if they were edged with gold.

He looked down at the continuous rows of buildings and the towering statues.

It seems he has figured everything out.

"No, Guangming wants to win, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me here."

Li Xia turned around and stared in the direction she had come from:

"The reason Guangming has included me in this global struggle is because of my consistent performance."

Aww, it's precisely because we've been causing trouble and big things in various worlds.

That's why Guangming believes that even in such a world, we will still follow our own path.

Seeing Aowu's expression as if he had thought of something, Li Xia opened the team channel.

Black Charcoal just sent a message:
"Aria has been successfully rescued and is en route to Celtis—the Second Guard Legion!"
