Daotian answered directly, “Twelve hours from now, the Inverse God expansion pack will be launched. Everyone, hurry up and prepare!”
After saying this, the old man glanced in Chu Tian’s direction.
He happened to see Chu Tian’s dumbfounded expression, his lips twitching, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.
The next moment, his figure flickered and disappeared.
The sky returned to sunlight, heralding the end of darkness for the Slaughterer faction.
It was estimated that even if the Slaughterer faction managed to counterattack the Survivor faction later, they wouldn’t be able to rally too many people.
This was because they now knew that if the Slaughterer faction became dominant, the sky of the Heavenly Dao World would be plunged into eternal darkness.
Although… a dark world did provide buffs to Slaughterer players.
Every Slaughterer player had a passive skill.
【Night: While in a dark world, all attributes are increased by 1%.】
One percent of all attributes might not seem like much, but it wasn’t insignificant either.
Especially at higher levels in the future, when attributes would explode, an additional one percent could directly translate to a substantial increase.
However, for such a minor attribute boost, enduring darkness, oppression, and the constant fear of sudden appearances, most people would choose to have sunlight.
At the very least, all the female players of the Slaughterer faction would not agree to reignite the war.
If a conflict broke out, it was highly likely that these tigresses would eliminate their men in reality.
It was probable that only some single individuals would join the fight, while countless married men and those with girlfriends would be absent from the start of any major upheaval!
Therefore, this situation indicated that while there might be minor skirmishes between the Slaughterer and Survivor factions, a change in the dominant faction was unlikely.
Seeing Daotian disappear, Chu Tian’s final glance at him made him realize that the old man was definitely up to something.
Under Zhao Lei and the others’ bewildered gazes, Chu Tian logged off directly.
Upon exiting the virtual pod, his body moved, and he found himself in the depths of the Blue Star’s core.
As soon as he arrived, he felt a powerful aura pressing down on him.
“Open!”
Chu Tian reacted instantly, his heart suddenly trembling. Had Daotian been controlled? Had a powerful expert infiltrated the Void God Realm?
A series of negative thoughts flashed through his mind.
Otherwise, why would he have spoken so unusually today, completely deviating from what he had said during their initial planning?
His aura immediately surged to its peak.
Boom…
The overwhelming aura was repelled, crushed by Chu Tian’s powerful force.
“Not good!”
Chu Tian suddenly remembered that this was the Blue Star, still within the depths of the Blue Star’s core.
By unleashing his full power, he might very well blow up the Blue Star.
“Damn it… all show and no substance?” Chu Tian cursed inwardly.
It was all that guy’s fault…!
Chu Tian had clearly felt that the aura was powerful enough to threaten his life just moments ago.
That’s why he had reacted so excessively.
While lamenting his mistake, he quickly retracted his aura.
Hum…
Unfortunately, it was too late. The aura had already spread and was about to impact the Earth’s crust.
Even though it hadn’t made contact yet, the entire Blue Star suddenly trembled, and seawater surged.
At that moment, everyone felt the arrival of the apocalypse.
“Brat!” A helpless voice emerged.
Then, the aura that Chu Tian had felt earlier condensed again.
However, instead of pressing down on Chu Tian, it directly diffused outwards.
In a blink of an eye, it swept across the entire Blue Star, instantly smoothing out the boundless hellish scene.
People stared at this scene in bewilderment.
Those who had just reacted, thinking it was an earthquake, were preparing to escape.
But at this moment, everything froze. Everyone’s fear turned into utter confusion.
What just happened?
It seemed like something had happened, yet… nothing had!
What was going on?
Everyone was dazed. After a while, they even forgot what had just occurred.
Many looked at the items in their hands with a sense of bewilderment, wondering what they had been doing.
Soon, everything returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian, after scanning with his divine sense, discovered the anomaly of this scene.
Then, he saw, before his eyes, a man standing by the blue crystal box in the core of the Earth.
“Who are you?”
Chu Tian still watched him with a degree of caution.
Although this person had just saved the Blue Star and nullified his power, the overwhelming pressure that had nearly crushed him earlier had also originated from him.
And that phrase… “Brat!”
What did that mean?
Chu Tian’s heart trembled.
Because at that moment, he saw the other person’s appearance, which bore a resemblance to his own father.
However, this man had long hair that cascaded down his back, moving as if by itself, without any wind.
There was a hint of majesty in his brows.
He appeared much younger than Chu Tian’s father, perhaps around Chu Tian’s own age.
Therefore… he had asked that question.
“Not bad, not bad! A bit rash, though. Hmm… you’re quite like me when I was young, haha!”
The man looked at Chu Tian, constantly clicking his tongue and nodding.
Three black lines slid down Chu Tian’s forehead. He was now one hundred percent certain of the man’s identity.
“Chu Batian!” Chu Tian uttered the three words speechlessly.
“Call me Grandpa!” The man’s figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was beside Chu Tian, his hand resting on his shoulder.
Chu Tian frowned, his body swaying slightly. He disliked this posture, feeling as if he were being cornered.
It was a pity that his formidable cultivation and robust physique seemed to have vanished at this moment.
He couldn’t even perform a divine sense teleportation.
And the other party had merely placed his palm lightly on his shoulder.
Seeing Chu Tian struggle, Chu Batian looked at him with a half-smile.
Chu Tian’s awkward expression seemed like that of a mischievous child in his eyes.
“Are you really Chu Batian?” Finally, Chu Tian gave up. This old man was too powerful; he had no chance of resisting at all.
He had never expected Chu Batian to appear at this time, nor did he expect… him to be so young.
Was this the legendary elder who walked in the void in the Yin-Yang Realm?
The legends… were really damned reliable.
Chu Tian couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“Yes and no!”
The man before him withdrew his palm.
Chu Tian regained his freedom and unconsciously took a step back.
Although he knew very well that this final step was futile.
If the other party wanted to kill him or do anything to him, he would have no chance to resist.
“Hmm?”
Chu Tian’s eyes showed confusion.
“In essence, I am still your grandfather, and also the one you have been searching for…!”
He paused here, not directly revealing it.
However, Chu Tian’s eyes lit up.
“You are…” Chu Tian also paused after uttering just two words.
At his level of cultivation, he knew very well that some people, things, or certain existences could not be spoken of directly.
It would involve karmic causality.
Since that person had chosen to appear before him in this form,
there must be a reason for it.
Otherwise, he could have appeared very directly.
He didn’t ask, “With such power, why not directly resolve this issue?”
Instead, he gazed intently at Chu Batian.
“Is there a chance of winning?”
The latter nodded with great satisfaction.
Seeing him nod, Chu Tian thought he was about to say there was a chance of winning.
But as he nodded, he said,
“Less than one percent!”
“What?” Chu Tian’s eyes widened, looking at him incredulously.
The other person gave him a confirming look.
At this moment, Chu Tian’s heart sank to the bottom.
