Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 852 "Celestial Beings"

Celestial beings.

A person from heaven.

Perhaps people from all over the world have had this thought: there are some special beings living in the sky, bathed in sunlight and morning dew, pure and radiant, symbolizing all the beauty in the world.

This is the commonality that humanity shares with the environment, even though we are separated by oceans and mountains and have never seen each other before. Myths and legends that evolved from this commonality have given rise to a series of concepts such as "Heavenly Mountain," "Divine Court," and "Nine-Layered Cloud Palace," which have been passed down through generations.

But in the end, these are all just fantasies.

Thousands of years ago, psionicists ascended to the Moon. They surveyed the surroundings, strolled across the lunar landscape, and finally regretfully announced that no gods or angels lived there; it was barren, only a gray and dilapidated landscape.

Even looking at the historical context, people in later generations often had designs on Xiyue, either with the ambition to expand their territory or to find a secluded place for quiet cultivation, but in the end, almost all of them came to nothing.

Until the [Zenith Center].

Until then, "the celestial beings".

In the first Seven Lands War, the various countries were in chaos. Even the "United Government" dared not say that it could achieve final victory. In order to avoid the worst outcome and to accumulate strength through alternative means, it was necessary to seek a different path.

At that time, the coalition government launched a program known as the "Time Capsule" project. They continuously launched supplies, equipment and personnel into deep space through disguised space debris and satellite launches. The latter were then secretly transferred to the Moon and an underground base was built.

Their orders were to remain hidden and develop their power. If the coalition government were to be defeated in the future, they would be the legitimate heirs to the coalition government and would be tasked with restoring the nation.

If the coalition government wins in the end, they will be the pioneers and heroes of the nation, enjoying great honors, and will emerge from underground to officially establish a lunar base.

The "Time Capsule" project.
Success and failure.

The coalition government did indeed win in the end, but the numerous corporations that had been nurtured and empowered during the war in order to maximize its war potential had become terrifying behemoths that were impossible to control. They turned around and devoured the coalition government, and, due to dissatisfaction with the division of profits, launched the first full-scale corporate war.

The group that carried out the "time capsule" project was not isolated.

To avoid being exposed, they hid beneath the setting sun, never seeing the light of day, and even their communication with the surface-level United Government was extremely limited. In this long period of isolation, they gradually became detached from the surface, like dough with loose yeast, silently fermenting into a new form deep underground.

This was the original "heavenly being".

It wasn't until the first full-scale corporate war was almost over that these giant corporations discovered the existence of the "time capsule" project from the United Government's legacy.

They eagerly approached Xiyue, and representatives from various companies made their own promises, hoping to take full control and allow Meimei to inherit another fortune. However, after understanding the current situation, the "Celestials" all chose to refuse.

Now that the coalition government is a thing of the past, corporations rule the present.
Then let the "celestial beings" establish their own company!

This is a very delicate time. The first full-scale corporate war is nearing its end. The major corporations have gained a lot but also suffered considerable losses. They are reluctant to take any further action for the time being. In addition, Xiyue is far away from Terra and cannot be effectively controlled. Intervening would be too troublesome.

Of course, the most crucial point is that, as a "celestial being" who was once expected to restore the country, the military force he controls should not be underestimated. If he were to suppress and annex, he would likely have to break a few teeth.

After much back and forth, the giant corporation ultimately chose to accept the Celestials, who in turn established a company called [Zenith Central], becoming part of the corporate alliance. However, influenced by the past, since the end of the Seven Earths War, the Celestials have focused most of their energy on developing the Sunset Moon, neglecting Terra and even gradually turning their attention to the depths of distant space—

—To explore the truth behind the extinction of stars, to chase the end of deep space.

Is the mission of "Heaven and Man" destined to perish?

Solomon Beaufort responded.

The pitch-black full moon, flowing with cracks of molten gold, erupted with a roar after a brief silence! The materialized darkness surged and boiled, like a pond that teemed with billions of venomous snakes; even a single glance at it would send chills down one's spine.

Good
The man knew perfectly well that his chances of winning this battle were extremely low, extremely low. Before a powerful psychic, objective reality must be manipulated by human will, but a powerful psychic can also be overwhelmed by an even more powerful one.

What's so unacceptable about it? Even the stars eventually fade away, so how can Solomon Beaufort possibly live on forever and win forever?

Hmph. [Beyond] might think that way, but he is not [Beyond]. Those days standing behind the porthole gazing into the deep space made him always follow reason and develop the habit of detaching himself from reality.

In Song Shi's pupils, even though the darkness in front of him was extremely deep, this celestial body appeared to be "bright" like never before!

Even stars that can burn for hundreds of billions of years will eventually collapse and die out. But at the moment of their destruction, they will surely create the most magnificent light.

The opponent abandoned the back-and-forth exchange and decided to strike decisively!

Solomon Beaufort's condition isn't actually bad; after all, he's playing at home and on the [Dayuan] path, so his resources are considerable. If he insists on holding on, he can continue to drag the game out for quite some time.

But this is an unwise choice.

Chakro and Ralph are still locked in fierce combat. The latter is stronger, but the former is even stronger! Even the most optimistic prediction is that Ralph will break through in the heat of battle, resulting in a draw where both are too weak to continue fighting.

However, their own battlefield cannot afford to be delayed. Yvette Gregory's "cycle" is exceptionally troublesome. Each cycle represents a new error, and if this continues, this painstakingly created Dark Realm will only grow weaker and weaker, eventually decaying and collapsing.

Looking at the whole field, the only advantage now lies in Yingbancheng.

Xu Yudu possesses the true spirit "Concealment and Hidden Form," capable of countless transformations and rebirth from a drop of blood. Defeating him might be easy, but killing him is absolutely difficult. However, Ying Bancheng is the fifth ring [Revelation], known as "Half-Knowledgeable of Fate." His spiritual energy can directly point to the mysterious core of fate, allowing him to remain unchanged throughout his life, even in the face of countless transformations, and to die suddenly.

The only problem is.

Does someone who has already disappointed others once deserve to be given hope a second time?
Ralph Gabriel was usually a chatterbox, so much so that it was annoying, but he was right about one thing not long ago.

Relying on other people's initiative is unforgivably foolish!
Solomon Beaufort slowly extended his hand—

The second stage of the True Spirit, "Darkness of the Abyss," was activated once again, disregarding the price of forced activation, causing the thin black domain to suddenly turn deep and dark again. The "Colorless Beast" withdrew, retreated into the darkness, and slowly dissipated. Or rather, it gave birth to a new "Colorless Beast."

That was Solomon Beaufort himself!
Composed of pure darkness, a vast and endless monster surges forth.
