This Is Already the Fastest Speed

This was a despairing world.

Yet in this despairing world, people could still sing and laugh. Perhaps that was what it meant for the ignorant to fear nothing.

Sometimes, knowing too much was not a good thing.

Especially when one lacked sufficient strength, the more one learned, the more painful it became.

Perhaps remaining as ignorant as before was the happiest state of all…

Taiqing did not wish to shatter this beauty, but false illusions would eventually be exposed.

When the monsters descended, the beauty of the past was instantly destroyed.

If these monsters were allowed to develop unchecked, humanity’s extinction would only be a matter of time.

Fortunately, Taiqing appeared at this critical moment.

With a single strike of his sword, he slew the monster leader that everyone had been helpless against!

This was Taiqing!

At this moment, he had already reached an invincible realm!

The dawn of humanity’s victory had finally arrived.

Clearly, as part of Taiqing’s omniscient and omnipotent traits recovered, he had become even more mysterious and more terrifying than before.

Even a commander-level powerhouse like the Ghost-faced Werewolf was no match for him.

This also showed that even a powerhouse like a Level Seven Card Master was far inferior to Taiqing.

Therefore, the Ghost-faced Werewolf’s death was not undeserved.

If this had been before Taiqing killed the Nine-Headed Giant, the Ghost-faced Werewolf might have lasted a few minutes against him.

But the current Taiqing was separated from his former self by an insurmountable gap.

Before the current Taiqing, even thousands upon thousands of Ghost-faced Werewolves would not be able to withstand a single exchange.

In a sense, being defeated by such a powerhouse was the Ghost-faced Werewolf’s honor.

Moreover, Taiqing did not merely want to eliminate the Ghost-faced Werewolf. He had to become him!

Taiqing decided to transform into the Ghost-faced Werewolf.

With his current concealment techniques, accomplishing this was no difficult task.

Besides, he had already mastered all of the Ghost-faced Werewolf’s memories.

Thus, from this day onward, he would become the real Ghost-faced Werewolf.

As for the original Ghost-faced Werewolf, Taiqing had long since destroyed him.

To avoid attracting the attention of certain powerhouses, Taiqing had put considerable thought into this.

But this was truly a helpless measure, since the Card Master Civilization was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

And since he could not temporarily restore all his strength, he could only resort to this method.

Fortunately, the Ghost-faced Werewolf usually acted alone and had few commanders he was close to.

Even if Taiqing’s personality changed somewhat, it would be difficult for others to notice.

Even if someone discovered something suspicious, Taiqing had more than enough means to make them keep silent.

After sorting through his thoughts, Taiqing curled his lips into a faint smile. He then took out his communicator and contacted the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker.

"Old Scorpion, Void Walker, what are you two busy with? It’s been so long already. Why haven’t you arrived yet? The situation here is urgent, and the monsters under my command have suffered heavy casualties.

"I urgently need reinforcements. What exactly are you doing? How much longer until you get here?"

Taiqing’s anxious tone made the two commanders extremely nervous.

The Golden Scorpion King was especially anxious as he pressed, "What exactly is the situation? Tell me in detail. How could you be unable to hold out so quickly?

"Could a Level Seven powerhouse have appeared there? This planet should not be capable of producing a Level Seven Card Master!"

"Nothing is absolute. Anything is possible!"

Moreover, he was not a Card Master, but a Chosen One!

You should understand how powerful Chosen Ones are.

For some reason, a Chosen One was overlooked here, but his strength was extraordinary. He was absolutely no weaker than us.

Only if you take action will we have a chance to subdue him.

Capturing a Chosen One would be an enormous achievement.

With this merit, perhaps we could cast off our slave status and become true citizens of the Card Master Civilization.

Isn’t that what we have always longed for? But if we want to achieve all of this, you must act quickly.

Otherwise, once I can no longer hold on, once I am defeated by him, his strength will likely rise to an even greater level.

You know that Chosen Ones cannot be judged by common sense.

If you hesitate any longer, you may have to collect my corpse!

And by then, you might not be able to retreat unscathed either."

Taiqing, disguised as the Ghost-faced Werewolf, spoke words that were immensely misleading.

Everything he had said earlier, as well as the various descriptions concerning him, matched perfectly.

Under such circumstances, the Golden Scorpion King and the others naturally chose to believe him.

But they did not know that because of their trust, they were about to fall into an endless nightmare.

"Wonderful! It seems you caught a big fish this time.

"If this fish takes the bait, we will surely rise to greatness this time.

"From now on, we can become important figures too, no longer forced to do this miserable work!

"Only slaves like us would be willing to come to such barren places.

"True important figures rarely set foot in worlds like this.

"If we become people like them too, perhaps we can break free from our current restraints.

"Therefore, this plan absolutely cannot fail!"

Hold on a little longer. We are on our way and will arrive in ten minutes at most.

Can you hold out?"

After hearing this, Taiqing replied, "Damn it, why are you so slow! I’ll do my best.

"If I risk my life, I can probably hold on for half an hour, but it will damage my foundation.

"You need to be faster!"

The Golden Scorpion King replied, "Don’t worry. Although the Void Walker is not very reliable, he is incredibly fast.

"This is already the fastest speed.

"As long as we can delay for time, even giving up sixty percent of the benefits will be worth it.

"This is an opportunity. We must go all out!"

Clearly, the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker were rushing over with all their strength.

Using the Void Walker’s spatial traversal ability, they could cross roughly a hundred li every so often.

Although the range was limited, at this speed, they could reach Taiqing’s location within ten minutes.

Taiqing deliberately said in a relaxed tone, "Thank you! I’ll hold on! We will definitely succeed this time!"

On the surface, he was encouraging the Golden Scorpion King, but in truth, he was encouraging himself.

In his view, more than half of the plan had already been completed.

Once the other commanders arrived, he would act immediately and directly kill them.

Afterward, he would find a way to refine these people into Great Freedom Transformation avatars.

At that time, he would have several more spies.

These spies could clearly help him gain a deeper understanding of the real world, allowing him to move through it with greater ease.

It had to be admitted that ever since taking over the Ghost-faced Werewolf’s identity, Taiqing had gained many more plans.

He had even begun entertaining the idea of annexing the Card Master Civilization, though the thought was incredibly mad.

But in reality, this was the most direct way to rapidly increase his strength.

If he could devour the entire Card Master Civilization, his power and influence would surely surpass what they had once been.

However, that was clearly a matter for the future.

At present, Taiqing’s most urgent task was still to eliminate the two commanders who were about to arrive.

To be honest, dealing with two commanders was not difficult for the current Taiqing.

It was precisely because of this that Taiqing did not pay too much attention to the matter.

However, even a lion would go all out when hunting a rabbit.

Even though Taiqing felt that he had prepared everything perfectly, he still attached great importance to it.

Because he understood that this matter absolutely could not be leaked.

Once word got out, their group of commanders would likely face a purge from the higher-ups.

Although in the current world, they were unique existences with strength no one could rival.

At their core, however, their status was not noble.

In fact, although they stood below one person and above tens of thousands in this world as slaves, their status in the Card Master Civilization remained very low.

They were nothing more than watchdogs raised in captivity.

Now that the Golden Scorpion King and the others had learned the information Taiqing had conveyed, they clearly possessed the qualifications to escape their slave status.

Once they reported information about the Chosen One, their strength and status would surely rise greatly!

Immersed in joy, the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker found it difficult to notice the many flaws hidden within Taiqing’s words.

Completely unaware of everything, the two stepped onto unfamiliar land and entered an unknown country.

Compared with the Tulip Republic, the Myriad Heavens Kingdom was vast and densely populated.

Even if all races of the Tulip Republic were combined, its total population was only around thirty million.

The Myriad Heavens Kingdom, however, had a total population of at least several billion!

Although the blue-skinned, blue-blooded people were smarter than ordinary humans and possessed advanced technology, they were at a certain disadvantage compared with ordinary humans when it came to reproduction.

With such a small population spread across such a vast territory, the destruction of this country seemed inevitable.

These commander-level beings could wipe out millions of lives with a casual attack.

Under such circumstances, they could quickly seize control of all humanity.

However, completely conquering the Myriad Heavens Kingdom would not be easy.

They would have to unleash several powerful attacks to completely eliminate all the humans in the country.

Furthermore, the upper ranks of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom were not entirely incapable of fighting back.

Once the Yanluo Order was activated, even these commanders would suffer greatly.

Although the Yanluo Order could not directly eliminate them, it would still injure them, something they could not tolerate.

That was why the Ghost-faced Werewolf had sought the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker’s help.

After all, relying on himself alone, suppressing the upper ranks of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom would indeed not be easy.

But with helpers, none of this would be a difficult problem for him.

At that point, the destruction of the Myriad Heavens Kingdom would be inevitable.

Fortunately, Taiqing arrived in time.

The moment he appeared, he dealt with the Ghost-faced Werewolf.

Next, he laid a trap powerful enough to make the commanders despair, waiting only for them to walk into it.

Just as he expected, the commanders came rushing in one after another.

Within only ten minutes, the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker appeared.

Seeing that the time was right, Taiqing prepared to close the net.

At this moment, the Golden Scorpion King and the Void Walker seemed to notice something.

Although the battle was still ongoing, he felt that these humans and monsters were somewhat strange.

The Void Walker began reviewing what had happened earlier, his gaze returning to the monsters.

After frowning deeply, he activated a special ability and attempted to control the monsters.

However, something that shocked and terrified him happened.

"How is this possible? Something is wrong! These monsters are fake?

"There are no information viruses inside them!

"This is absolutely impossible!

"Could this be a trap?"

Having noticed the anomaly, the Void Walker swiftly attacked, sweeping the Blade of Space across all the humans and monsters.

Logically, the Void Walker’s attack should have easily wiped out both the monsters and the humans.

After all, human and monster bodies were so fragile. How could they withstand the slicing power of space?

However, what happened next left the Void Walker utterly shocked!

Under such circumstances, these humans and monsters were completely unharmed.

The indifferent humans continued fiercely battling the seemingly savage monsters.

His Blade of Space seemed to have no effect on them whatsoever!

This was extremely abnormal!

When something was abnormal, there had to be a hidden reason!

Under these circumstances, the Void Walker realized that he seemed to have fallen into someone’s trap.

And this trap could actually affect a powerhouse like him!

From this alone, it was clear that the person who set the trap possessed strength at least at the commander level.

The Ghost-faced Werewolf excelled at speed, not controlling illusions.

Based on this alone, the Void Walker concluded that the one controlling the illusion was that Chosen One!

As for the Ghost-faced Werewolf, since the Chosen One had set an ambush here,

the Ghost-faced Werewolf’s fate clearly would not be pleasant.
