SL: Chapter 664 – Day 5,265 (Part 3) – The End??

“Yes Emperor,” Captain Francis saluted me and quickly left. I had given him several orders to begin packing up the useful things from the palace and prepare for our departure. All the soldiers in my personal guard were coming with me.

He also had to go round up Doctor Katz and the Avatar. I needed to sort that mess out. But I would offer the good doctor a chance to leave with me. Clarissa had left once our conversation was over. She would do whatever she wanted. I wasn’t worried. ...

SL: Chapter 663 – Day 5,265 (Part 2) – The End?

“What about your mother? After yelling at me about her?” Clarissa demanded angrily. I just shook my head.

“She is already dead. And if she isn’t then I won’t allow myself to be put into a position where I need to save her,” I replied calmly. Giving me time to think and plot was never a good idea.

“You are sacrificing everyone,” Clarissa muttered and sank back in her chair. She looked at me in shock. I nodded at this.

“Extreme circumstances require extreme m...

SL: Chapter 662 – Day 5,265 – The End

“New Kochi has fallen. The entire city has been wiped,” Clarissa said to me. I looked up at that. That was the city in the West.

“And?” I asked calmly and with a touch of annoyance. The last couple of days was lowering my opinion of Clarissa even further.

“The government can no longer project power beyond the boundaries of Purgatory. We are cut off,” Clarissa said. I just calmly just sat across the table from her. “Every out.” Her people began to file out. I gave a...

Jaime

We were marching West to reestablish contact with the Forbidden City. Apparently, communication had been cut. At least that was what the Captain said. Purgatory had been attacked and there were incidents cropping up all over the Empire. It made me wonder what sort of monster was causing all these problems now.

If I hadn’t been in Purgatory when the super monster attacked, I would have been dead along with everyone else. There was a huge sense of nervousnes...

SL: Chapter 660 – Day 5,263 – Slow Collapse

The bunker got more and more frantic as time went on. I was content to sit here and wait, while things progressively got worse. We were losing contact with cities. The stones that used resonance to communicate were being disabled. Patrols and grinding groups were going missing.

There was not one single method used. Summons, people, some esoteric trick with energy. All of it came into play. There was no cluster either, to indicate a location of the person behind all these schemes. Claris...

SL: Chapter 659 – Day 5,262 – Bug Bites

I sat brooding in the situation room where Clarissa worked to try and salvage the situation. While I had a seat at the central table, with Clarissa opposite me, I wasn’t saying anything. Since everyone who had met the woman who was likely my mother was dead, there was a wish that the woman wasn’t my mother. There was no way to confirm one way or the other.

There was nothing to do but brood and wait until there was a lead for me to respond to. I saw people glancing at me waiting for ...

Michelle

I watched as Michael and Clarissa yelled back and forth at each other. I looked over at Captain Francis who was listening in as well. It was bad. On a scale of one to ten, it was really bad. I had never seen Michael so mad, especially regarding Clarissa.

Out of everyone he had the most trust and patience with her. I guess that was the reason why the blowup was so bad. When something went wrong that he had trouble accepting, it went really wrong. I conside...

SL: Chapter 657 – Day 5,261 (Part 2) – Devastation Round Two

We stood there on the top of the airship tower glaring at each other. The anger and broken trust was immense. “You think you can run all of this?” Clarissa asked while glaring at me.

“With a military government yes,” I countered.

She let out a scoff at that. “People would rebel and die. In the end it would become the Dragon Empire,” she replied. “The level of corruption would sky rocket. Or you would have massive infighting between factions you would need to manage. ...

SL: Chapter 656 – Day 5,261 – Devastation

I looked out at the city before me. Purgatory was in ruins. I had gotten the recall order and quickly returned to the city. Instead of thriving city, it was a wreck. Clarissa was waiting for me at the airship port as I got off.

“What happened?” I demanded and she let out a sigh.

“Jacob has been compromised. Combined with me stressing the government by hiring a lot of new people, it created a mass vulnerability,” she explained. I processed what she said.

“How? The s...

Amy

“Good morning, Abdul,” I greeted the soldier standing guard in the sitting room.

“Good morning, Amy,” he greeted me back. “Anything specific for today’s breakfast, or stick to the meal rotation?” he asked me.

“I am fine with what is being served, but is it really mystery eggs? They tasted like chicken eggs?” I asked, since I had tried different kinds of eggs before.

“Best not to ask where the food comes from or the waste goes,�...

SL: Chapter 654 – Day 5,255 – Out Of Control

Clarissa

I looked down at the report in front of me. Why had things spiraled so quickly out of control? And these terrorists? It wasn’t just one or two disgruntled people, there were several incidents. If anything, the people should be more docile, polling indicated that should be the case.

I had left the capital in order to give the idiots a chance to breathe and make mistakes. Also, I needed to go around the remaining cities and ensure there weren’t problems...

SL: Chapter 653 – Day 5,251 – Confused

Amy

“Good morning mam,” a soldier greeted me as I left the room, I was staying in. He gave me a head nod, and I wasn’t sure what to do back. I still didn’t really know what was going on. I had been transported somewhere, and my son was supposedly in charge.

“Um, hello, good morning. Where is breakfast?” I asked.

“Breakfast will be brought here,” the soldier said.

“Where is Captain Mary, she promised to answer questions?” I demanded ...

SL: Chapter 652 – Day 5,250 (Part 2) – Interview

Amy

“Hello Amanda, I am Ed, the caretaker of the arrival records,” the older man pulled out an envelope. Captain Mary was sitting to my right while her soldiers were outside this office.

“Um, hello. I really don’t want to cause a fuss,” I said nervously. I was really stressed at the moment.

“Not at all. I am just going to ask a series of questions. Answer truthfully and you won’t be in any trouble.” I nodded fervently at this. “Are you Aman...

Amy

I stumbled and looked around. This wasn’t my house. What was going on?

“Everyone gather up, gather up. If you need something to wear, we will provide. Questions will be answered,” I looked at a man in a red uniform shouting.

I hesitantly made my way over with several other people. It didn’t escape my notice that there were men and women in red uniforms with weapons that were escorting people over. “I demand-“ a man started shouting and was sl...

SL: Chapter 650 – Day 5,238 (Part 3) – The Musician

Fredrick

I watched the elite grinder leave with his team. I was lucky to have attracted such a big spender with my music. While his group scared off other listeners, I was hopeful for a couple thousand points from the crystal he had given me. A level 4 crystal was worth quite a bit and everyone said they were bigger than the normal point crystals.

Making my way back to the small room I shared with my friend Chris, we lived above a spice shop. The smells always mad...

SL: Chapter 649 – Day 5,237 (Part 2) – Doctor Katz Sidelined

Samantha left my office after having painted a picture of what was happening. The entire government was being reorganized heavily. Clarissa was making sweeping changes to how things were run. People were being promoted and other people were disappearing. I wasn’t exactly sure what turmoil was going on, but that was her problem to sort out.

While I could get involved and find out what was happening, as long as it all kept functioning then I would be content. I did ask for my tax receip...

CC: Chapter 81 – Going Up

“Welcome to the Elevator,” I could hear the capitalization in the term. Also, the thing was massive. It wasn’t at the center of the Forever City, but the structure was the size of nine towers combined togeather. “I am your personal guide, Xi.”

I was leaving the Forever City. After breaking through, I was leaving to find one of many objects from a list Qiang You had given me. The immortal cultivator had left me here at the entry way and wished me luck. While I wanted to deny th...

SL: Chapter 648 – Day 5,237 – Rebuilding And Stats

The Crystal Vortex took a long loop over Purgatory so we could all look at the changes. I noted that there were tunnels leading up from the gates through the ground. There were also several cranes and towers built up around the outside, reinforcing the ground around the outside of the city.

I couldn’t help up think that if there was ever a rainstorm, then Purgatory would become a mud pit. Thankfully, each day was as sunny as the previous one. We reached the airship port. Clar...

SL: Chapter 647 – Day 5,230 – A Level 6 Tower

I looked up at the large tower in the level 6 zone as ash swirled behind me as I stepped onto the base stairs of the tower. The tower was massive, and it wasn’t just the height, but the size of the base, which was insanely huge compared to towers in lower-level zones. Like a stick on top of a pyramid, or a giant candle on top of a tiered cake.

The structure was massive. While the cities were objectively bigger in terms of footprint, this structure was massive. I guess the sphere’s c...

SL: Chapter 646 – Day 5,222 – Medical Treatment

Doctor Katz

“That should be it for your tongue,” I said while looking over the Avatar. It had taken quite a bit of work to heal her tongue, but I felt it was the most important to help stabilize her mental health and help her learn to eat once more.

She didn’t say anything. Just lay there in bed, her empty sockets looking upwards at nothing. Her eyes would be a lot harder to fix. They would be the last step. I got up and left her room. There were two guards ...

SL: Chapter 645 – Day 5,212 – Limited High Level Zones

I looked at the map laid out on a table in the eating area between meals on the Crystal Vortex. This place was used for looking at the large map we kept. While there were smaller sections that were used for specific areas, having one large map let me have a better understanding of what was going on.

One of the soldiers on the airship was responsible for updating it and working with Michelle to make sure the names were all correct. She recorded the monsters, and their various sk...

Jacob Copper

“No!” I yelled and tossed the documents away. So much effort and such pitiful results. What were these assistants even being paid for. I rubbed my temples as people in the research lab looked at me nervously. There was a massive amount of tension in the air. If this place was the Dragon Empire, I would have used them in one of my experiments.

“You’re fired. Get out,” I said to the man in front of me.

“What did I do? I completed the w...

CC: Chapter 80 – An Old Friend

I looked out from my room in the core of the Forever City. The air was clear. The buildings had windows, were colorful, and had the scent of flowers in the air. The outskirts of the Forever City truly were the slums.

There was even a touch of energy in the air, making me feel more comfortable. I hadn’t noticed before, but once I arrived here, it was painfully clear. I sat on my terrace looking out at what could only be described as Cultivator Heaven.

The tunnels between building...

SL: Chapter 643 – Day 5,201 – Holding Pattern

I looked out over Purgatory as we flew back into the city. The side walls of the pit were being shored up by blocks of material from the city. I wondered how that would work with the terrain reset, but there were enough people around, things probably wouldn’t hence the construction.

Clarissa had probably run tests if I had to guess. There was much more work around each of the cardinal gates with massive amounts of vertical construction having been completed. I also noted people moving...

SL: Chapter 642 – Day 5,198 – A Desperate Plea For Help

Dinner was surprisingly not a disappointment. With all the food research we had been doing in Purgatory and my Empire my tastes had risen considerably over the years as well as my expectations for formal events. Salted cucumber just wouldn’t cut it. I still enjoyed the simpler foods, but if you wanted to impress me you needed to do a bit more.

The Holy Kingdom had stepped up its game in the sauce department, with a wide range of different flavors to complement the mystery meat courses...

SL: Chapter 641 – Day 5,197 – The Blessed Pope

“Emperor Michael, welcome,” Blessed Pope Emeritus the Third greeted at the airship port personally. I noted he had three Paladins around him, but they were clearly not trying to make any hostile movements towards me, with their weapons sheathed and their hands at their sides.

Checking the number of stats they had, they weren’t a threat to me as far as I could tell. They were slightly above my personal guard in terms of strength, but that just highlighted the massive difference in ...

CC: Chapter 79 – A Higher Stage

I woke up suddenly. My eyes quickly opened and my lungs gasping for air. Everything was incredibly clear in a way that was hard to describe. The currents of energy were subtly moving about me in a way I had never noticed through the walls and floors. Even the air, which was almost devoid of energy, I could pick up faint traces. I could feel these currents on a much deeper level and not just visually.

I was in my room back in the TripleX faction. “So, you are awake,” I glanced over a...

SL: Chapter 640 – Day 5,187 – First Tower

The airboat was almost out of points as it circled around as it sped towards my target. While tempting to try and climb the outside by hand or skills, there was a lot of risk involved. The longer a person climbed a tower, the more monsters appeared.

The tower was in view in front of me. It was the one to the South of Purgatory and Southwest of Neo Brasilia. There were some low-level monsters behind me, but I wasn’t that concerned about them. The highest was level 5, which was less tha...

Qiang You

I stood on the small patch of solid Firmament watching Yuan Zhou prepare to breakthrough. He was an interesting cultivator, but interesting would only carry you so far.

“Your machinations are as multi-faceted as ever,” Leader Han told me through a mental transmission.

“That is the only way to win, when every outcome leads to victory,” I mentally replied. It had been a long-standing policy of mine. That any plots could not ...

CC: Chapter 77 – A Slave Obeys, A Man Chooses

“Vice Leader Qiang You,” I greeted my senior with a deep bow in his garden. It was time. After all this waiting, I was finally going to breakthrough. Either my life would be ending shortly, or I would be stepping onto a new and unexplored path in cultivation.

One part of me felt relieved it was time, another part of me felt incredibly worried. So much time had passed and this was it. I didn’t think my journey would lead me to this point, being in debt to an immortal, and the truth...
