Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The cruelest thing in the world was not to lose freedom, but to regain freedom after losing it for decades, only to watch it slip through the fingers once again!

All the beasts—the bodacious robbers, serial murderers, and perverted arsonists and explosion maniacs—craned their necks with dirty saliva flowing out of their lips as they listened to the broadcast rune arrays in all directions full of eagerness.

“Right now, the Godly Might Prison is in serious turmoil. The gates wide open before your eyes lead to the third district, where the captives of the Covenant Alliance caused all the chaos in the beginning. Their ultimate purpose is to detonate the four energy bases and completely activate the hibernating volcanoes below the ground so that the simmering magma will swallow the entire Godly Might Prison. All the guards, and of course, you, will die together with them!”

Lei Chenghu continued roaring, “Hundreds of my starships are breaking into the atmosphere, but there is still some time to go before the brave soldiers march to the bottom level of the Godly Might Prison. Right now, you are the only people who can save the Godly Might Prison as well as the lives of each other!

“Look around. Do you see the high-precision crystal cameras in the entire Godly Might Prison? They can capture your faces and your every move clearly. Charge forward now, and kill all the captives of the Covenant Alliance in deep-red uniform. As long as the surveillance cameras verify that you have killed one captive from the Covenant Alliance, I will pardon you and enlist you in my army.

“My army is stationed in the most prosperous Sectors in the newly recovered territory. It is the paradise on earth that had just been conquered by the Imperium, with inexhaustible wine, beauties, and crystal mines waiting for the enjoyment of my soldiers! Even a cook under my command lives a more extravagant life than the city masters in the worlds in the rear!

“How long has it been since you last enjoyed a woman? If you do not want to live the rest of your life in the snowy world where even your c*ck is frozen in front of each other’s butts, fight for freedom, sunshine, beauties, and wines with your fists! I don’t care what kind of unpardonable crimes you have committed. As long as you take down one person of the Covenant Alliance, I will pardon you and lead you to the paradise in the frontline!

“You can choose not to trust me, but look at your companions who are simmering in impatience. Remember, there is only a limited number of captives from the Covenant Alliance, which means that I will bring a limited number of people away. You will lose nothing if you finish one of them before your companions do. Remember, everybody should kill only one captive from the Covenant Alliance and leave the rest to your companions!”

His words completely aroused the bloodthirstiness of the animals.

The heavy breath of thousands of beasts gathered together, letting out deafening explosions like the power units of the space warships.

Of the thousands of prisoners who were to spend the rest of their lives in imprisonment, perhaps only one-tenth believed what Lei Chenghu said.

But as long as the one-tenth, or even two or three people, for that matter, started to move forward at the same time, the crushing tide would be completely unstoppable.

Better safe than sorry!

There was only a finite number of captives from the Covenant Alliance. They were not captives in crimson prisoner’s uniform, but single tickets to the paradise on earth!

If they did not take action immediately, the people of the Covenant Alliance would completely activate the underground volcanoes, burning all of them in the boiling magma until nothing was left!

So hot, and it was getting hotter. Magma was truly flowing from downwards. It-It was true!

That was the voice of “God of War” Lei Chenghu. General Lei was quite right. They could never get away. They would not lose anything if they gave it a try. It was better to take the gamble than to wait to die here!

Sunshine, wine, and beauties!

The beasts with tightened pants immediately congregated into an overwhelming tide that drowned the pathway leading to the third district.

Under Lei Chenghu’s command, Yun Chenghua gave them all the help they needed. Not only were all the gates on their way opened, but there were even giant arrowheads made of visible rays of light that guided their way.

In the third district, the captives of the Covenant Alliance were dispersing to all directions, hoping to create greater turmoil.

However, other than those in the first district, Yun Chenghua had sealed all the pathways and ventilation tubes. They did not have any heavy magical equipment and could only crash the gates and walls with their bodies of flesh and blood. Even though they had smashed a few holes on the wall, few people could crawl in at the same time.

Most of the captives of the Covenant Alliance were still wandering in the third district.

Many of them heard the roars of the beasts and searched in the directions of the first district, only to run into the burning tide head to head.

“Aooooooo!”

The surveillance cameras did capture the collision of the two parties clearly. Even the protruding veins on every prisoner’s face was clearly visible.

It was barely a battle, or even a massacre. Before the three captives of the Covenant Alliance realized what was going on, they were already swallowed by the tides of beasts, and when the tides passed, not a residue of them was left behind. All the prisoners had extended their hands at the captives of the Covenant Alliance crazily, biting them hard despite the lack of weapons and ripping apart their dead bodies even if they knew that the captives were long dead. They did not disperse in dissatisfaction and look for the next target until the captives of the Covenant Alliance had ended up in a cluster of blood.

Nobody cared about Lei Chenghu’s order just now, that everybody should kill only one captive of the Covenant Alliance and leave the rest to their companions.

First of all, the lights were so dim, and the situation was so chaotic. Who knew if the surveillance cameras captured it clearly?

Secondly, so many people attacked at the same time. Who could tell which of them killed the captives of the Covenant Alliance?

Therefore, it would be safer to kill a few more!

In the control center, the battles on the surveillance picture seemed to be taken from the primeval age tens of thousands of years ago.

Most of the people in both parties were barehanded. They did not have weapons, much less crystal suits, and they were only fighting with their teeth and fists.

The captives of the Covenant Alliance were cold machines, but the prisoners of the Covenant Alliance were raging beasts.

The cruel pictures, with the broken limbs and the exploding internal organs, made even a lot of seasoned soldiers in the control center pale in fear.

“Their morale is rather high. This is a useful troop!”

Looking at the blood on the surveillance picture that was being shed in tons, Lei Chenghu nodded in great satisfaction. “Warden Yun, remember to analyze the pictures carefully and identify the warriors that we are to pardon. We will bring them away when we evacuate.”

“Are you really going to pardon them?”

Yun Chenghua blurted out, “They are all the most disobedient bandits. However high their combat ability is, they will only be the black sheep in the army!”

“My promises have never gone unfulfilled. Now that I said they would be pardoned in public, there is absolutely no way that I will go back on my words.”

Lei Chenghu glanced at the warden and said casually, “If you are worried that those disobedient guys will become the black sheep, you don’t need to. I only promised that I would lead them to the frontline; I did not say which troop they were going to join.

“I have a daring team under my command that is in dire need of the participation of the valiant and bloodthirsty warriors like them. Trust me. If those warriors can survive one year in my daring team, they will certainly repent of what they did and be better men.

“Right. Where is the Godly Might Fleet right now? How well has your anti-air fire net been prepared?”

Yun Chenghua breathed heavily. He opened the configuration map of the anti-air fire net and the map that marked the location of the Godly Might Fleet. Pointing at the maps, he said, “General, please take a look. I have transmitted 80% of the remaining spiritual energy in the entire Godly Might Prison to the four most central ‘Heaven Battering Cannons’ in the anti-air fire net. In the meantime, most of the warships of the Godly Might Fleet have descended to below the atmosphere and are still dropping, ready to carry out the suppression battle. I have reset the friend-or-foe identification system and secretly locked onto them.”

“Very good.”

Lei Chenghu said, “What about the flagship of the Godly Might Fleet?”

“That is exactly the problem. The flagship is still in the atmosphere and has not arrived completely. There’s no telling if it has grown suspicious.”

“We can’t wait anymore.”

Lei Chenghu said, “Considering the location of the flagship right now, is it possible to shoot it down in one round of barrage?”

“It is. The cannons based on the continent are a hundred times more powerful than the cannons loaded on warships after all.”

Yun Chenghua replied, “But the interferences in the atmosphere are very serious. In order to make sure that the target is destroyed in one barrage, 95% of the spiritual energy must be focused on the Heaven Battering Cannons, and the Heaven Battering Cannons will probably overload and crash after the attack.

“The result will be that our spiritual energy runs out after the barrage, the anti-air fire net will be nothing more than adornment in the next hour, and the cores of the cannons may be completely melted. But the Godly Might Fleet that has lost the flagship will still be able to bombard us free at will. What can we do then?”

“Tell me—”

His eyes glittering, Lei Chenghu asked, “Is anyone on the Godly Might Fleet aware of the situation?”

Slightly dazed, Yun Chenghua shook his head.

“Then—”

Lei Chenghu continued, “Even if the Godly Might Fleet bombard us crazily, so what? Is the Godly Might Prison, which is buried hundreds of meters into the ground, unable to withstand a blanket bombardment for several hours? Or, is the Godly Might Fleet, which has lost their leader, bold enough to send their soldiers to break into the prison that is a complicated maze and fight over the quarters against us in the cruelest way?

“If both questions are negative, what are you worried about? Carry out the order immediately and concentrate all the spiritual energy in the anti-air fire net. Aim all the anti-air magical equipment that can be launched at the flagship of the Godly Might Fleet. Make sure that it will be shot down in the first round of attack!”

“Understood!”

Yun Chenghua stood at attention. Then he bulged his eyes and said, “Report, the flagship of the Godly Might Fleet sent a request for communication!”

“Ignore it. Carry out the order.”

Looking at the light beam, deep in thought, Lei Chenghu suddenly turned to Li Yao. “By estimation, our queen should be arriving soon, right?”

“Report!”

Before Li Yao replied, Yun Chenghua exclaimed in shock again, “Our far-end observatories have detected that objects of huge masses are tearing apart the barriers of the four-dimensional space and jumping to the Mystic Ice Sector quickly!”

“Hehe.”

Lei Chenghu smiled and bared teeth as sharp as a tiger shark’s. “Connect to the communication channel of the flagship of the Godly Might Fleet. Use their communication signals to increase the precision of your aiming. When the Heaven Battering Cannons are fully charged, launch them directly!”
