CSMCDB - Chapter 192
Chapter 192
The white apostles could kill enemies, rest or assemble machinery at night, and had complete freedom. If they encountered danger, they could contact Wen Yuncheng at any time, and she could recall them with a single thought. Moreover, having the three apostles appear in three different places could also draw the attention of the Huanling.
Once a new idea took root, it could open up a whole new line of thinking. Wen Yuncheng mulled it over and thought it was an excellent plan. "I'll redeploy them later. Jinyu, are there a lot of Huanling demonic beasts on your end? Many at the Emperor level?" If there were that many… her heart began to race with excitement again.
"Yes, and they've also forced the outer demonic beasts to serve them. If you come over, I'll go rescue other towns—you're better suited for city defense."
"Alright, I'm on my way!" Wen Yuncheng agreed immediately. "The people from Fu are hunting me again, so you need to be careful. And the Flowing Cloud Sect…" Fortunately, her two teachers and the First Princess weren't the types to fall into danger easily. And since the Little Ice Mountain was the Child of the Plane, anyone from the Starry Sky Continent who tried to harm her would probably be hit with a debuff, right?
After all, anyone who opposed the Child of the Plane was either a villain or cannon fodder.
After discussing business, the two flirted for a while before ending the communication.
Wen Yuncheng took a deep breath and then issued new orders to the three apostles, granting them more autonomy. Of course, the one requirement was—if they encountered danger, they had to notify her immediately, and she would recall them in an instant.
New apostles could be created after an apostle died, but the new one would not be the same as the original. If Number One died and was destroyed, then even if Wen Yuncheng built another apostle, he could never be the original Number One.
After finishing all this, Wen Yuncheng controlled her Floating Magnetic Disk and started heading toward the Demonic Beast Great Forest. She didn't rush. If she encountered any demonic beasts along the way, she could continue clearing them out.
By killing demonic beasts, Wen Yuncheng had already surpassed the 2,500 kill milestone for Huanling creatures. These beast warriors varied in strength, but they all provided the same amount of experience. Paired with the "Heart of a Victor" buff, Wen Yuncheng was very satisfied with her gains.
Although Wen Yuncheng sometimes thought that the "Heart of a Victor" was now more like a "Heart of Slaughter," as she had reaped countless lives. She usually didn't dwell on the people she killed; their opposition was determined by their stance. The demonic beasts and soldiers from the Huanling side might have had their own unavoidable hardships and lives they were forced to leave behind. In war, they were just tools and cannon fodder, as hateful and pitiful as the brainwashed low-level members of the Fu organization. But Wen Yuncheng wouldn't think too deeply about it. It was all meaningless.

"Sometimes, I think about how cold-blooded I really am." Wen Yuncheng expressionlessly controlled a C-03 Air Wing to surround a fleeing wolf-tribe warrior in the outskirts and kill him. "My experience and levels are all built on bloody, living beings."
[Do you need me to counsel you?]
"No, I understand it perfectly well. It was just a sudden thought," Wen Yuncheng said. "In a world where the strong are revered, caught in a planar war, every powerhouse who survives and rises to prominence has grown stronger by treading on blood and bones." Wen Yuncheng leaned back on her Mechanical Throne as the Floating Magnetic Disk carried her swiftly away… A long line of C-03 Air Wings followed behind her. Occasionally, when she passed by towns, the residents below would see a large shadow, then spot her, and become incredibly excited.
She didn't know when it started, but in the hearts of the people of the Starry Sky Continent, she had attained a status equal to that of the Protectors.
"1947, I don't actually like them liking me like this." Wen Yuncheng controlled her C-03 Air Wings to kill beast warriors along her path. She saw many people actually kneeling to express their gratitude, and even though she left quickly, she could still hear them cheering her name.
Her original intention was just for the experience. As for saving people… she just wanted to do her best to save those she could. Receiving a little gratitude would make Wen Yuncheng feel content, but as she passed through more and more towns, she received far too much of it, which made her uncomfortable. If one's expectations for someone were too high, perhaps they would only be met with disappointment.
"Forget it. I shouldn't care about what others think," Wen Yuncheng quickly cast these thoughts aside. "The real business is to drive out the Huanling and marry my Little Ice Mountain."
[Right, think about happy things. For example, you're only two levels away from Level 80!] 1947 said. [The Huanling would never have guessed that the various demonic beast tribes they unleashed for this all-out war would bring you such extraordinary gains.]
"Once I reach max level, do you think I can go to the Huanling Continent?"
[If you have enough points, I can submit an application for you. But you cannot slaughter the ordinary beings of the Huanling.]
"Don't worry, I just want to have a friendly match with their Child of the Plane. And maybe have a heart-to-heart with their pro-war Huanling Emperors and Phantom Saints." After speaking with feigned maturity, Wen Yuncheng couldn't help but laugh. "As if I'm already at max level."
[You will be soon! Your growth rate is already very fast~ If you're bored on the road, you can spend some points, and I'll show you some newly released Long Aotian novels.] 1947 knew Wen Yuncheng was bored from traveling. The old father figure enthusiastically chatted with his cub, promoting the bestsellers it had recently acquired.
"…" Wen Yuncheng fell into a strange silence, then politely declined 1947's offer. Although… she felt that the type of Long Aotian 1947 liked wasn't her cup of tea.
[I heard you complaining.] The old father figure expressionlessly put away the bestsellers.
By the time Wen Yuncheng reached the Demonic Beast Great Forest, Lin Jinyu had already left.
She had just arrived when she encountered a demonic beast siege. With the Starry Sky Continent's outer demonic beasts as cannon fodder and the Huanling's beast warriors as the main force, the city guards outside and the long-range cannoneers and archers on the walls were struggling to defend.
There were Star Venerate-level defenders, but they were tied down by the demonic beasts. The situation was dire. Wen Yuncheng even felt that if she had arrived a little later, the city would have been breached!
Of course, Wen Yuncheng's feeling wasn't wrong. The warriors of these Huanling demonic beast tribes had been preparing for several days. After confirming that the young woman who had slain a Star Emperor had left, they specifically chose this day to launch a full-scale assault to breach the city gates. They planned to use it as a demonic beast stronghold and expand outward—naturally, Star Emperors might come to help, but if it was only one or two, they could take them down by self-destructing.
The plan was well-laid, but unfortunately for them, Wen Yuncheng had arrived.
Lying in ambush were also two Star Emperors sent by the Fu organization. They planned to wait for Lin Jinyu to come out for a decisive battle against the beast warriors. The moment she repelled the beasts, they would strike!—But strangely, Lin Jinyu hadn't made a move in two days. They suspected she had left, but without her, the city would have a hard time holding against the demonic beast assault. So they weren't sure if Lin Jinyu had truly gone… or perhaps she needed to recuperate from slaying the Star Emperor? If so, their plan to capture Lin Jinyu alive would proceed even more smoothly.
Unfortunately, they had miscalculated.
When they saw the floating Mechanical Throne appear on the city wall, rows of Star Cannons being set up on the battlements, and the sky filled with dense formations of C-03 Air Wings, the two Star Emperors from the Fu organization were left reeling in the wind. For a moment, they didn't know whether to attack or not. Lin Jinyu hadn't appeared, but Wen Yuncheng had. A Huanling Emperor, the Lynx King, and a Star Emperor had tried to kill Wen Yuncheng, and one Star Emperor had died as a result—the two hidden Star Emperors glanced at each other. If they attacked, they might have a chance to kill Wen Yuncheng, but… one of them would likely die. In that shared glance, they both saw a powerful will to live in the other's eyes.
It was better to request instructions and apply for reinforcements.
"Wen Yuncheng's machines have appeared in Zihua Town, but not Wen Yuncheng herself… The Huanling side is watching. We will coordinate and dispatch personnel…"
"What?! Wen Yuncheng's machines have appeared in the Chenxing Sea?"
"More news? Don't tell me it's Wen Yuncheng's machines again? Say that again? Suanyan Town? Can you intelligence gatherers consolidate your reports before sending them to me?" The Fu organization's intelligence officer was swamped. News about Wen Yuncheng was now top-priority intelligence that had to be collected immediately. But what was all this? In a single morning, he'd heard that Wen Yuncheng had appeared in three different places! What, did her Star Power Mutation allow her to create clones?
He was incredibly frustrated, but the members sending the reports all insisted their information was accurate. He could only report it as it was… though he could already picture Ge Huan flying into a rage.
Then, he received another message, this one from the two Star Emperors. They needed to contact Lord Ge Huan immediately. These two Star Emperors, tasked with capturing Lin Jinyu alive, had seen Wen Yuncheng in a town in the Demonic Beast Great Forest—Wen Yuncheng, sitting on her Mechanical Throne, commanding an army of machines to wantonly slaughter the besieging demonic beasts. They needed Star Emperor-level support and requested instructions on whether to continue the mission to capture Lin Jinyu.
The intelligence officer was completely bewildered. He numbly transferred the communication to Ge Huan, then collapsed into his seat with a throbbing headache. He thought that Wen Yuncheng might truly be a god of the Starry Sky Continent. Killing her… was simply too difficult.
She could always appear all over the continent with such ease.
Lord Liu Bolong's decision back then had been correct; they should have done everything in their power to eliminate Wen Yuncheng. Unfortunately, there were no "if onlys" and no "what ifs."
[Beep! Invader killed. 3000-kill tier achieved!]
[Received 10,000 EXP, 500 Points.]
Wen Yuncheng was on a killing spree. She held onto three skills—Interceptor Factory, G-0 Warlord, and G-Magnetic Pulse—while continuously unleashing her others. Under the coverage of her mechanical domain, the cooldowns for her other thrown-type skills were extremely short. G-1 Corona and the Ex-S Viper Cannon were also proving immensely effective against the endless beast tide.
Wen Yuncheng had never had such a satisfying harvest.
With no half-Saints to restrain her and no need to hold back, a continuous stream of cannon fodder mindlessly charged forward, transforming into a sea of experience that poured into her EXP bar—
Wen Yuncheng drank another high-grade MP potion. The lines connecting her to her machines constantly shifted as she continuously replenished energy for different units. With her firepower maxed out and all buffs active, the low-level cannon fodder demonic beasts were completely wiped out after a single wave of fire. Only the slightly stronger Huanling beast warriors could withstand two waves.
But that was it. They could only withstand two waves.
