As the security made way for him, Zhang Lisheng strolled to the door of the nightclub and gently pushed the door open. Without warning, a gush of deafening, fierce dance music with a mind-numbing, fast rhythm rumbled into his ears.
The lights were flashing continuously in the dimly lit atmosphere. Young men and women with various skin colors danced with a daze and happy expression. Sexy dancers in bikinis and thongs were swaying their hips, making seductive expressions and dances on a glass platform with a row of steel pipes in the middle of the dance floor.
The chaotic scene in the nightclub elicited a satisfied expression on Zhang Lisheng’s face. He entered the nightclub and blended into the crowd.
His lean body danced and swayed with the change of rhythm as he quietly passed through the tiny gap between the bustling dance crowds. After a minute or two, Zhang Lisheng slipped into the bathroom at the corner of the nightclub.
When he saw the disgusting vomit everywhere, he frowned disgustedly. He saw that all of the cubicles in the toilet had their doors tightly closed. Frowning unconsciously, he waited beside the sink in a blank expression.
Not long after, flushing sound resonated from one of the cubicles. After a series of water flowing sounds, a drunk Caucasian young man with five-colored hair stumbled out of the cubicle. Immediately, Zhang Lisheng silently brushed across him and entered the cubicle before locking the thin white wooden door.
“In this chaotic place full of drugs, alcohol, and sex, even if somebody really were following me, he would definitely lose my track too. It’s always good to be careful about things…” In the cubicle, Zhang Lisheng muttered and began to remove his clothes dexterously. He commanded a toad-like wizard gu to crawl out of his flesh. It swallowed all of his clothes and shoes, leaving behind only the light stone and ‘recorder’ given by the Atlanteans in his hand.
After that, he transformed his body using the lizard’s transformation power and shrunk into the size of 60 to 70 centimeters tall. He opened the wooden door of the cubicle and nihilated before crossing the toilet and jumping over a small window facing the dark alley wall to land on a cold, wet ground.
Under the dim street lights, Zhang Lisheng changed the transformation power into wyrmdragon and began to gather clouds at his feet. He soared up into the sky and flew towards the channel connecting the Shrimp World No. 2 and the Earth.
In his fear that Atlantis might discover his identity, the young man flew very cautiously this time. Fortunately, he did not encounter any unexpected incident as he flew over the clouds to fly all the way to the red light curtain. This was set up by the alien civilization that seemed to split the seawater outside of the New York inland sea.
When Zhang Lisheng saw that there was only one more obstacle left, he hid in the thick cloud and looked at the brilliance that resembled flowing lava not far away. Clenching his teeth, he dashed forward and went past it in one fell swoop.
Trembling with fear, he endured the intense pain and cut open his scales, using his wizard power to drive out the heat flow that penetrated into his body. When he saw that no other abnormal situation took place, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He then continued to move toward the direction of the Wizard Li Island, with a significantly accelerated speed.
Just like this, over twenty minutes later, as he swiftly soared the skies, the island ruled by Zhang Lisheng appeared before his eyes. It had already been over half a year since he left. When he looked at the scattered flames around the island, he could tell that the level of prosperity of the tribe had drastically changed compared to before.
“Iron fishing ships that can ship at night,” In the white cloud, the young man muttered in pleasant surprise, “Manufacturing fishing ships must mean that all warships have all been completed then!” Aruba is really a person who can create a miracle…”
Muttering to himself, Zhang Lisheng went to the sky above the Wizard Li Island. There, he suddenly saw a group of strange raptors, that had a giant head resembling that of a Tyrannosaurus with the body of a hawk that had been enlarged to several dozens of times larger. He saw that it was flying across his eyes in one straight line.
Those strange dragon-head birds had their backs tied with two rattan baskets. A native person accompanied them, whose face was colored with red sap, holding a ten-meter long spear in one hand, and a shining torch in the other, cruising back and forth in the air.
“They have even successfully nurtured dragon hawks to become mature and usable now?” Seeing another surprise, the young man showed an excited expression on his face. “I can’t believe that the strongest Hellfire ‘war partner’ we obtained from the outer island actually has such a short domestication period. With this, it will no longer be a dream to fly across the islands in the future!”
Good things happened one after another, causing Zhang Lisheng’s depressing feeling to relax.
Flying to the sky above the Wizard Li’s ancestral land, he looked down at the native city that was already large in scale and descended calmly. Before he landed, countless of smokes floated up from the ground.
The Wizard Li warriors who were watching the night in the ancestral land in the cold winter suddenly saw white mist descending in the tribe. Thus, they had already long kneeled on the ground, chanting their prayers loudly towards the Conqueror.
After landing, Zhang Lisheng looked around and quietly listened to the praises and prayers of the believers before asking, “Where’s Tugra?”
“Great Conqueror, Headman Tugra is doing inspection tours on the harvest of the winter fruit.” The chief choresman, who was awakened from his sleep, kissed the land that the young man had stepped on and replied respectfully.
“Winter fruit?” Zhang Lisheng was stunned.
“Great Conqueror, the winter fruit is a kind of fruit that can be planted on the mountain rock in the outer island. It is not big, but just eating three to four of them will already be filling enough, a-and, it can also fill a person with strength,” The fat chief choresman kneeled on the ground and said.
“Then it must be an ‘army food.’ It looks like the level of Wizard Li’s absorption on the loot of the last expansion is faster than I expected.” Zhang Lisheng muttered satisfactorily, before ordering loudly, “Go, tell Tugra to see me right away.”
“Yes, Great Conqueror!” The dispatch warriors that always stayed beside the totem pole, regardless of whether Zhang Lisheng was present or not, kneeled on the ground. They then placed their heads firmly on the hard ground as they answered respectfully.
At this time, the young man had already stride into the bark house dedicated to the tribal book of history. He picked up that Wizard Li book, which only had three pages, placed on the altar.
Opening the thick cover of the tribal book of history, the young man looked at the humanoid monster covered in green scales. It looked exactly like him, in terms of appearance, clothing, actions, and movements. He then murmured. “The totem pole has already accumulated the power of faith of the prayer and praises that the 9 million Hellfire aborigines had sung for almost 300 days. If I cash them all out and make it as my backing, no matter how powerful the spiritual attack and confusion is, I’d be able to resist them all. I’d really like to see what tricks the Atlanteans are trying to play actually.”
As he was speaking, he walked out of the treehouse and strode to the bottom of the towering totem pole. Reaching out his hand, he stroked the dark carving of the human-headed snake monster with a blurred face twisting its long body as it circled upward around the thick stone pillar. While a conceited smile appeared on his face, he lowered his head and once again open the tribal book of history.
Staring at the image on the book page, the young man instantly felt dizzy. Star-like rays of light erupted from the bark book that he held in his hand and gradually rose to the sky. At the same time, raging flames ignited on all the totem poles on Wizard Li Island. Furthermore, the outer islands consolidated the power of faith of almost ten million Hellfire aborigines to the tribal Conqueror.
Sensing the unprecedented might and abundant power of faith pouring into his soul, Zhang Lisheng listened to the subtle voices of countless prayers and songs. “Great Conqueror, you’re the living faith of the Wizard Li, you’re the only god walking among the tribe…”
“Great Conqueror, your believers offer you the most pious prayers, and I will always praise your glory…”
“Great Conqueror, your Theonym will one day take the entire Hellfire Archipelago in trepidation. Your enemies will eventually fall to your feet…”
Zhang Lisheng felt that the spot between his eyebrows began to heat up. Seizing that instant, when his consciousness was about to become daze, he pressed the Atlanteans”recorder’ on his forehead.
At once, a magnificent starry sky appeared in Zhang Lisheng’s mind.
The stars flashed in the night sky. Savoring the immersive beauty, Zhang Lisheng, whose consciousness had begun to muddle once again, felt a sense of confusion and terror rising in his heart. However, with the support of the power of faith he gathered in Wizard Li’s 18 totem pole, he did not have the revolting fear that gave him the desire to destroy everything around him like he had in the helicopter.
A few seconds later, the beautiful starry sky slowly stretched in front of Zhang Lisheng’s eyes. In the vast and dark universe, a bean-sized slow-moving figure appeared in his vision.
Soon, the figure became larger and brighter. At the same time, the young man’s heart began to beat quickly. The dazzling light balls beside him that were filled with flames bloomed splendidly.
A series of tsunami-like roaring sound resonated in his ears.
“For the continuation of the Atlantis civilization and the future of the cosmos, let us face death bravely! The Glorious Legion, charge and sacrifice, let us only die in battle…”
“Warriors, our home is behind us! Our parents, wives, children are all behind us! Our ancestral star and the hall where our civilization originated are also behind us. Today, we, Atlanteans, can no longer retreat. We can only shout and charge at the enemy and to use our own lives to verify the vows of the soldiers! Glorious Radiance Legion, charge and sacrifice, let us only die in the battle…”
“I don’t want to say anything more. I only want to tell you that when the sea monster devoured you, I’ll be in between its teeth. Splendor Legion, charge and sacrifice. Let us only die in the battle…”
In the roar resonating in the starry sky, Zhang Lisheng finally saw the horrifying figure swimming in the galaxy.
At once, unable to control his horror, he first transformed into a three-headed six-armed huge golden ape. However, in just within one second, his limbs inexplicably shattered without warning.
Immediately afterward, he could not help but incarnate into the Eye Beast King. However, in just a second, it crumbled right away.
Only until the wreckage of his body and blood transformed into a black-haired human-headed snake monster that had tattered facial features and haggard-looking skin did his form finally stabilized.
