“So what if you know?” said Su Ping as he stared back, “I heard you were subdued by the Heavenly Dao. Are you here to stop me? Are you willing to be at the mercy of someone else despite being a Sorcerer Ancestor?”

“Hilarious!”

Yuan Long sneered. “We are unrestrained. I am merely cooperating with the Heavenly Dao. How can we be affected by the reestablishment of chaos? You are inconsequential ants and dust. A new world will begin once the debris is dealt with. New ants will replace old ants, but we are eternal!”

“Bulls*it eternity!”

Su Ping was so infuriated that he laughed and said, “Getting to the bottom of it, you’re just afraid of death! Would you be as obedient if the Heavenly Dao hadn’t suppressed you? You’re just deluding yourself. Are you really the oldest dragon? Have you only taught dragons to be domineering in front of others? You’re just tame dogs in front of the Heavenly Dao!”

Yuan Long became gloomy as he said, “Just as sharp-tongued as I remember. However, it’s pointless, no matter what you say; everything is fated to happen. You’re naive if you think you can clear this level. You will fail again this time; she won’t have another opportunity to attack!”

“Then you can go to hell!!” Su Ping roared.

The fury in his heart was like flames in the underworld. It was a Sorcerer Ancestor raised by the system; the guy was a deserter, which infuriated him even more than the Heavenly Dao did.

“Unfortunately, you’re just an ant in my eyes without the Chaos Qualification!” said Yuan Long indifferently.

A stream of a twisted fiery power darted out from his gargantuan star-like eyes. The void became scorching hot and all the Great Daos began to melt. Su Ping felt the chaos aura around his body start to ebb. It was no ordinary fire, but an extreme power able to destroy all the Great Daos.

“Come on!!” Su Ping roared furiously and unleashed all his power, gathering a brilliant sword aura and slashing it forth.

Boom. The sword aura exploded; Su Ping was struck and sent flying.

There was a huge hole on his chest, and the surrounding was unable to regenerate. The burning fire would not die out!

“I said that you’re an ant. Do you disagree?” Yuan Long looked down at Su Ping with dazzling light in his eyes again. Another pair of power streams darted out.

The power of hundreds of overlapping universes instantly surged, at the behest of the guy’s single thought.

Su Ping narrowed his eyes and quickly dodged. The ground underneath his feet fell apart, leaving two bottomless holes the moment he jumped away.

He looked up and saw Yuan Long, who was like a cat toying with a mouse. There was no mention in the briefing that one of the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors would stand in his way. The strength gap was insurmountable.

Was he going to fail?

His failure would surely affect the system and the other four Sorcerer Ancestors. It might be the decisive factor for the final outcome.

While Su Ping was thinking quickly—roars burst out from the rear.”Dao Ancestor!!”

Su Ping turned back and looked, only to see figures rising from the shields on the three thousand warships. They were emitting a powerful light, seemingly as unstoppable as planets.

“Dao Ancestor, there’s no need to protect us. Just dispel the warships!”

“Please block Yuan Long, Dao Ancestor. We will reinforce you the moment we finish off the Heavenly Dao creatures!”

“No need to worry about us, Dao Ancestor!”

Scorching thoughts were being relayed. Su Ping could sense their determination, and felt that his blood was flowing backwards.

However, with everything coming to that point, he had to go all out so he could face Yuan Long.

He had gathered billions of species exactly because he couldn’t win the war on his own; he needed the help of all the others.

“What can we do if the protection is canceled?”

“You can’t remove the shields! All of us will die!”

“A Sorcerer Ancestor is in our way. Let’s run! We can’t possibly win!”

“I can’t let my mother die here!!”

The wails of some people were mixed with the staunch voices of those willing to fight inside three thousand warships. They knew they’d be no match for the Heavenly Dao forces at all if the shields were removed.

Furthermore, just being exposed to the chaotic environment was extremely dangerous.

One had to remember that not only warriors had gone to war, there were also the elderly and the young.

Even the disabled and the heavily wounded were there. That was the ultimate war that would determine their fates, so none of them held back.

However, many of them were having breakdowns once they reached the battlefield.

Death was right before their very eyes. They had been aware of the importance of winning during the ten thousand-year cultivation period, or all species would die.

However… Death was right at their doorstep; many were cowering, hoping to live a while longer.

The number of beings who shared the sentiment was not small, crying out even before the warships disappeared.

“Shut up! You idiots!”

“How can you flinch from this life-and-death battle?!”

“If you learn the truth in the morning, you can die happily at dawn. We’re not fighting for ourselves, but for the future!”

“I’ll be the first to make a move and kill if any of you keeps crying!”

There was a mess inside the three thousand warships. Those determined to sacrifice themselves glared at the ones wailing, feeling indignant and scornful.

Su Ping saw all this. He felt troubled when he looked at those who were holding their heads and crying.

He wasn’t angry, though; he only felt sorry for them.

“Guys, I understand that you’re unwilling to confront death. I am just as unwilling!

“Who would rather die if they had a chance to live?”

Su Ping’s thoughts were directly conveyed to all the people on the three thousand warships, regardless of their species. Their languages and cultures were different; however, Su Ping’s thoughts were automatically translated in the way they could understand as he sent them telepathically.

“Look at the corpses we’ve brought on our way here.

“They’re still fighting!

“They are the remnants from the last war. They’ve been floating here for years, waiting for us!”

“If we fail, our lingering determination will also turn into remains that will also float in this place. We would then wait for the next army and follow them to continue our fight!

“This war is inevitable!

“If we choose to retreat, we will surely die!

“There are bound to be casualties. However, none of us will die meaninglessly!

“Don’t forget why we’re here. Don’t forget the grudges burdening our shoulders! Don’t forget the hometown we had to say goodbye to! Don’t forget that we’re burning lives! We should fight!!!”

The people on the three thousand warships stopped weeping upon receiving his message. They looked at the majestic figure standing in front of Yuan Long.

A normal creature like him, daring to confront an ancestor of chaos. How courageous was that?

He hasn’t given up yet. How can we?!

Someone in the Undying State roared frantically, “Fight!!!”

“That’s right! We’ll die without regrets!”

Chi Ying, Xu Kong and the other humans stepped out with thoughtful light in their eyes, clenching their weapons. They were only in the Dao Heart State and they would be greatly weakened without the warships. However, they were relentless!

“Brother…”

Su Lingyue stood in the crowd like any random person. Nobody paid any special attention to her. She didn’t receive any special treatment for being Su Ping’s blood sister.

Tears made her sight hazy. She had never been prouder of her brother!

She held onto her weapon and gritted her teeth, dismissing all of her tenderness as she stuffed herself deep into her armor. She was going to unleash all her strength. It would probably be insignificant, but she didn’t want to feel any regret!

“Fight!!”

“Fight!!!”

No one knew who was the first to shout, but roars continued to burst from the three thousand warships; their morale was greatly boosted. Some people looked at their children. The sadness and gentleness in their eyes was gradually replaced by fighting will.

Those eyes belonged to the lives at the weaker levels. Maybe their individual contribution wouldn’t affect the outcome. However, when billions of them were gathered, they could give a tiny push!

Su Ping took a deep breath, knowing he couldn’t hesitate. He immediately dispelled the warships.

Bang!

The warships transformed, releasing all the passengers on board. Then, they turned into light that quickly flew over to him.

The warships turned into universes that floated behind Su Ping’s back like stars.

Many figures appeared next to him. They were the Inferno Dragon, the Dark Dragon Hound, the Little Skeleton and his other pets. Su Ping stared at Yuan Long and spoke softly while holding his sword.

“Follow me in this last battle!”
