Chapter 121 It's not time yet...
Chapter 121 It's not time yet...
Let's set aside the fact that Lu Li has been completely shattered in reality for now.
Back to the sky.
Seeing that Lu Li had even thrown his weapon away.
Jingliu had no choice but to put away [Disintegration], ending the sparring session.
But upon reaching Lu Li's side, her tone unusually carried a hint of displeasure, "Why didn't you draw your sword?"
"There's no reason why, it's just not time for it to be unsheathed yet," Lu Li said lazily after stretching.
Jingliu frowned slightly: "Are you saying I'm not worthy to draw your sword?"
Lu Li said somewhat helplessly, "This isn't a question of whether we're a good match or not."
"But I didn't take that knife for... never mind, it's not the right time to say that now."
Jingliu tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, upon hearing this. "What do you mean, 'not the right time'?"
Lu Li smiled upon hearing this.
He didn't answer, but turned to look at Bai Heng, who was watching them with a worried expression, afraid that they would quarrel.
He stretched out his hand and waved to Bai Heng from afar to indicate that everything was alright.
Bai Heng paused for a moment, then flashed a bright smile and waved vigorously in response.
"Alright, that's enough of our sparring. Time to go have a drink."
Lu Li watched as the conversation ended and he walked towards Bai Heng and the others.
Although some questions remain.
but……
Jingliu sighed inwardly.
Forget it.
Anyway, as long as Lu Li doesn't leave, she'll figure it out sooner or later.
Just as Lu Li said.
She has a long time ahead of her.
……
Lu Li walked back to the ginkgo tree, picked up the wine gourd again, and leaned it against the trunk.
The scene before me is as usual.
Yingxing measured the knife for him.
Jing Yuan is urging Dan Feng, who has no expression, to drink.
And... Bai Heng was excitedly chattering around Jing Liu, who had just returned and sat down.
Lu Li put down the wine pot and tilted his head back slightly.
Looking up at the azure sky through the gaps in the ginkgo leaves.
just now……
"Lu Li! What are you doing? Stop pretending to be so mysterious and come drink with me!"
Bai Heng's voice interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.
He looked at the five people staring at him.
Lu Li smiled, got up and walked over, "Okay, coming."
...It's not the right time yet.
……
After this gathering.
Time seemed to be passing rapidly in the scene depicted on the sky.
The audience watched as the Five Heroes of the Clouds went on missions together, fought off the abundant monsters, returned to hold a banquet, got drunk, and went on another mission the next day...
They discovered that the people they had thought were high and mighty heroes were actually...
In fact, just like them, they are ordinary people living in the real world.
They can laugh, and they can get angry.
The six of them often bicker, laugh, and team up to catch Lu Li slacking off... These vivid daily interactions bring a smile to the audience's faces.
however.
Just when the audience thought this kind of daily life would continue indefinitely.
The Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds once again received an edict from the Emperor.
—The envoy of Fengrao, "Shuhu," is leading a large army towards Luofu in order to seize the Jianmu tree.
The Second War of Abundance and Plenty of People was about to begin.
On the Starry Sky Train.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li's heart sank to the bottom.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
This tragedy swept through the entire Immortal Ship, causing the Five Heroes of the Clouds to fall apart.
Finally... it's time to begin.
"Shuhu?" March 7th looked bewildered upon hearing this unfamiliar name. "What's that? Is it powerful?"
Walter did not answer immediately.
He pushed up his glasses, his expression more serious than ever before.
"Shuhu was one of the two great messengers under the 'Abundance' Star God Pharmacist, and was also known as the 'King of Locusts'."
Everyone present understood the significance of the words "commander".
The expressions on everyone's faces in the carriage changed.
"Commander..." Xing murmured, repeating the word.
She remembered the doomsday beast she encountered on the space station.
That was merely a creation of the Destroyer, its strength vastly inferior to that of the Destroyer.
But even so, it almost destroyed the entire space station.
And now.
The six people in the sky are about to face the true envoy...
Walter sighed. "It seems this is the beginning of the tragedy of the Five Heroes of the Clouds."
Himeko's expression was also not very good.
"Each messenger of a Star God possesses power second only to the Star God himself."
"They are 'gods' agents' walking among mortals, terrifying beings capable of destroying a civilization."
It can be said that the strength of beings at the Envoy level far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.
Even for powerful figures like the Five Heroes of the Clouds, facing the Envoy would almost certainly result in death.
"Then...then aren't they in great danger?" March 7th's voice was very tense.
"It's more than just dangerous," Walter sighed. "It's... a deadly battle with no chance of winning."
His words weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a boulder.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was extremely oppressive.
Even Kafka, who had always acted indifferent to everything, frowned slightly at this moment.
It wasn't because of the sky, but because of... Lu Li.
She discovered.
From the moment the words "Commander" appeared in the sky, Lu Li's body had been in a state of tension.
Although he still maintained that salted fish look,
But those eyes, which always carried a hint of laziness, were now filled with complex emotions.
There was a sense of solemnity and unease.
And there was also a trace of... deep sorrow.
Is he...afraid?
No, that's not right.
Kafka knew Lu Li's gaze all too well.
This man—even when facing death, never truly "feared" anything.
His current emotions are more like... the pain and struggle of knowing that tragedy is about to happen, but being powerless to stop it.
"Ah Li..." Kafka said softly.
"You seem to...know what's going to happen next?"
Lu Li's body stiffened abruptly.
He turned his head and met Kafka's wine-red eyes, which seemed to see right through people, and inwardly groaned.
This woman's intuition is incredibly sharp!
"I...I don't know."
Lu Li forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Well, aren't all those bountiful creatures disgusting?"
"The thought that the Envoy of Abundance might be even more disgusting makes me feel a little nauseous..."
"Is that so?" Kafka tilted her head and didn't ask any further questions.
But the probing look in his eyes was even stronger.
Lu Li felt extremely uncomfortable and could only focus his attention back on the sky, while mentally ranting and raving.
Holy crap, how are we supposed to keep this up?
He certainly knew what was going to happen next.
The Second Bountiful People's War.
He knew that this war would be the beginning of the tragedy for the Five Heroes of the Clouds.
He knew that the fox-girl who always warmed everyone like the sun would sacrifice herself in this battle to protect her comrades.
He knew that her death would be the final straw that broke Danfeng and Yingxing's back.
This ultimately led to the "Moon Drinking Rebellion," which shocked the Immortal Ship Alliance.
And mirror flow...
He knows everything.
But he could neither say nor do anything.
It's not that I don't want to do it.
But these things... have become history.
Most importantly, this battle, like the one at the Black Tower space station, is one of the most important turning points in this world.
After all, without Bai Heng's death, there would have been no Yinyue Rebellion.
There would be no Dan Heng, one of the main characters, Xing Hen Shou Ren, or Jing Liu, who is trapped in the Yin Demon Body.
There's no further plot development for the Luofu arc...
And now they exist as they remember.
Regardless of whether the "him" from the previous life had the ability to stop all of this.
The results all point to the same thing.
He chose...
There was silence for a moment.
Lu Li looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
really.
No matter when—
The phrase "powerless" is enough to make one feel suffocated.
