The Flame Demon God sensed the intruder's presence, opened his eyes, and stared intently at Li Wei with a sharp light in them.
"Heh, what a pitiful little insect, ending up here. What a tragic fate." The Flame Demon God's face was filled with mockery as his enormous hand, enveloped in magma, slapped towards Li Wei as if swatting a fly...
However, just as the Flame Demon God's enormous hand landed on Li Wei's head, golden light began to emanate from Li Wei's body, and at the same time, his size grew even larger, becoming much larger than the Flame Demon God.
The Flame Demon God's giant hand struck Li Wei, but was instantly bounced back by the force of the impact, almost knocking him over as well.
At this moment, Li Wei had transformed into a golden-armored god with several pairs of wings on his back, wielding a huge spiked club. He smashed the club into the face of the Flame Demon God, knocking him down.
"You're already this weak, and you're still trying to show off to me? I hate it when people try to show off in front of me." The golden-armored god, whose size was even larger than the Flame Demon God, said calmly.
As a Qi cultivator, Li Wei practiced the most primordial path of immortal cultivation, which was also one of the three thousand great paths that directly led to the origin. Therefore, he could see through the opponent's true strength and weakness at a glance. Although the opponent was currently using full special effects, giving the impression of a world-destroying demon king, in reality, the opponent was so weak that he could only resort to such bluffing tactics. Did the opponent really think that he, Li Wei, was easily frightened?
So Li Wei swung the stick back and smashed the opponent flat on his back.
In this space, both sides were spiritual beings, and the contest was between their soul strength and imagination. The opponent, a seasoned veteran who had lived for an unknown amount of time, naturally possessed an imagination far superior to Li Wei's. However, even the most skilled cook cannot cook without ingredients; the Flame Demon God was now extremely weak, unable to utilize any of his supernatural abilities. Therefore, in a sense, "youth has the upper hand," leading to the scene of Li Wei beating an elderly man with a large stick.
The magnificent golden-armored god swung his ornate, ceremonial-looking mace and smashed it down on the opponent, leaving the Flame Demon lying in a sea of fire howling in pain.
Li Wei had no intention of showing any martial ethics to his opponent. Taking advantage of the opponent's weakness, he swung his spiked club faster and more fiercely, aiming each blow at the opponent's head. With each swing of the spiked club, lava splattered everywhere. He forcefully smashed open the Flame Demon God's skull, and the opponent's brain matter, or lava, flowed everywhere.
Chapter 4. Beating an Old Man
At this moment, Li Wei completely ignored his opponent's pleas for mercy and attacked him relentlessly. Although his opponent was an old monster who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, he was now extremely weak due to his remnant soul and had no way to fight against a rising star like Li Wei. He was completely overwhelmed.
"Master, spare me! Master, spare me! I'm willing to become your guardian deity, to serve you like a slave!" the Flame Demon God wailed, begging for mercy.
"What use is a roughneck like you to me?! Enough talk, I'll just beat you to death!!!"
Li Wei gritted his teeth and swung his spiked club even harder. The Flame Demon God was desperate. Li Wei, this stubborn and unyielding fool, had no intention of giving him a way out. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to fight to the death.
"If you want me dead, you won't have it easy either! Let's all just finish this!" The Flame Demon God's body instantly swelled, transforming into a giant net that enveloped the golden-armored god-man formed from Li Wei's divine consciousness. The scene resembled the initial battle between the EVA mobile suit and the Angel. After the Flame Demon God fixed the golden-armored god-man formed from Li Wei's divine consciousness, it instantly exploded.
The entire space began to tremble, and the violent impact of the explosion blew away the raging flames within.
Having long anticipated that Li Wei might perish together with his opponent, he reinforced the shield covering his divine sense once more. As a cautious individual, Li Wei's use of such a simple and brutal fighting style was itself a trap to provoke his opponent into taking the bait.
Although the other side had already self-destructed, Li Wei was still not at ease. He did not remove the shield surrounding the divine sense projection immediately, but carefully searched the entire space. After spending more than half an hour searching the entire space and confirming that the old monster who played with fire was definitely dead, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he left his mark in the space to prepare for refining this magic weapon.
To refine a newly created magical artifact, one only needs to integrate one's own divine sense imprint into it. However, refining a magical artifact that has been taken from someone else requires more steps.
This process involves erasing the original owner's spiritual imprint from the magical artifact.
Although the original owner of the bell had been lured into self-destruction and died, the divine imprint left by the other party on this magical artifact was still deeply imprinted on the internal structure of the artifact. If the other party's divine imprint was not washed away, it would be impossible to imprint one's own divine imprint on it.
This is a time-consuming process, and it takes an unknown amount of time to complete the imprint. The reason why it is said that there is no time in cultivating immortality is because the various unexpected situations encountered in cultivating immortality all require a considerable amount of time to deal with.
Li Wei doesn't plan to take the bell away for the time being. Instead, he will use the puppet clone to place it here to think about its return. Although the puppet clone he made on the spot is trash, it is more than enough to serve as a communication station.
Li Wei first took the space passage back to the planet where Mirelia and the others were. After all, there were still some things he needed to finish on that planet. He was a person who always saw things through to the end, and once he decided to do something, he had to make sure it had a good ending.
As for the mastermind behind the wave, these weaklings can be dealt with slowly after he refines this magic weapon.
After the original owner of the bell died, Li Wei recoded the bell's external defenses. He couldn't stand the original crude defenses anymore, and those rudimentary defenses were also at risk of being broken by those elf-like beings. In order to ensure that the magical artifact he had acquired would not change, before leaving this place, Li Wei spent some time strengthening the external defenses, which resembled a white ball of light, to ensure that no one outside could break through this layer of protection.
After doing all this, Li Wei returned along the same route, passing through a long and deep spatial passage, and finally returned to the planet where Mirelia and the others were located through the spiraling clouds.
Below, Licia and Raphtalia were attacking the massive, lizard-like monster, while Filo, providing support, would unleash swift attacks whenever the two created an opportunity. The Filo bird, a peculiar race, was capable of contending with dragons, possessing considerable inherent strength. After its bloodline's limits were unlocked by the Holy Shield, Filo's growth rate was phenomenal. Now, when it slashed down with its claws, even the massive lizard monster would let out a painful roar, leaving numerous claw marks on its body.
Outside the two birds, a large number of kingdom soldiers were providing support. Although these kingdom soldiers could not confront the monster head-on, they could still throw some harassing magic at the monster to create opportunities for Lisia and the others to attack.
"It's about to wag its tail! Everyone, back off!" Lysia shouted as soon as she saw the giant lizard monster start to twist its body.
The kingdom soldiers who were able to participate in the siege were among the stronger ones, so after hearing Lisia's prompt, they reacted instantly. Those who were fast immediately moved back to create distance, while those whose equipment was too heavy and whose speed was severely reduced simply lay down on the spot, hoping that the enemy's sweeping attack wouldn't be too low.
The kingdom's soldiers risked their lives to try and stop this terrifying monster outside the city limits.
At that moment, a rope made of light descended from the sky, violently pulling a giant lizard, as large as a blue whale, into the air.
Everyone looked up and saw Li Wei standing in the air.
"Sorry, I had to take care of something important and was a little late. Thank you all for your hard work; you are the kingdom's finest soldiers," Li Wei said with a smile.
"It's the hero!" The new recruit waved excitedly to Li Wei.
The veterans who had participated in the battle breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Wei descend from the sky. Since Li Wei had arrived, it meant that the situation had been brought under control.
The rope of light hoisted the giant lizard up, and the ever-tightening rope strangled the giant lizard to pieces. The giant lizard monster that had appeared terrifying to everyone was now twisted like a pretzel, beyond dead.
As the BOSS that had invaded this wave was defeated, the distorted swirling clouds in the sky gradually disappeared, and the originally blood-red sky quickly returned to its azure blue.
Li Wei landed on the ground, and the soldiers excitedly surrounded him. On the distant city wall, the civilians who had not suffered much damage cheered wave after wave towards Li Wei.
Chapter 4. A Mighty Man Falls From the Sky
A middle-aged man who looked like a commander walked up to Li Wei and said, "Thank you for your support, hero. If you hadn't been here, we might not have been able to stop this monster and would have had to watch it break into the city."
Li Wei said, "I'm a little late. I've done some research on things related to the Wave. If my thinking is correct, maybe our generation of heroes can completely solve the Wave problem."
The previously composed middle-aged man was taken aback, then his expression instantly lit up with surprise. He exclaimed, "Is this true?! Can it really completely solve the problem of the Tide?!"
Li Wei nodded and said, "Yes, the tide can be completely stopped. Your descendants no longer need to worry about the arrival of the tide, because I will stop it. However, please allow me to keep this matter a secret for now."
The middle-aged man suppressed his excitement and said, "As long as the wave can be resolved, we've had enough of this life of constant fear, facing life and death at any moment. Old hands like us can bear it, but for those children who haven't even reached adulthood, such a disaster is just too cruel."
Lisia and the others had already arrived behind Li Wei.
Li Wei said to the soldiers around him, "You have all performed very well. You are indeed the most loyal soldiers in the kingdom. I will mention your deeds to the Queen and ask her to reward you, whether it be material or honorary. You deserve it."
A young soldier who looked to be only ten years old said, "Brave sir, this is what we should do. After all, this is our hometown, and our relatives and friends are behind us. Under such circumstances, we cannot back down no matter what we say."
Li Wei patted the young soldier on the shoulder and smiled, "Mistakes should be punished, but merits must be rewarded. I'm a person who is clear about rewards and punishments. Considering that there might be a delay in the kingdom's reward for you, I'll give you the reward here first."
Li Wei snapped his fingers, and each of the soldiers present suddenly had a small cloth bag in their hand. Some eager soldiers opened their bags immediately, revealing shiny silver coins inside. At the same time, all the soldiers felt much lighter, and those with hidden injuries found that their injuries had disappeared.
Those who can become soldiers are all professionals with ranks, whose perception is far more acute than that of ordinary people. Therefore, they know that the reward Li Wei gives them is not just material silver coins, but also optimization and repair of their bodies.
"Thank you, Hero!"
The soldiers' words of gratitude rose and fell, and Li Wei quite enjoyed such adulation, laughing and saying, "That's enough for now. I have to go back to the capital. You have all received the rewards you deserved. From now on, I'll have to entrust the safety of this place to you."
The older man said, "Please leave this to us with confidence, Hero. This is our homeland. As long as we can stand, we will never let disaster befall us."
Li Wei nodded, waved to the soldiers, and then activated the teleportation, disappearing from everyone's sight.
After Li Wei returned to the capital, he gave the two girls a break, along with a little fat bird. Philo's body has now accumulated a huge amount of energy, and it won't be long before she can begin to take human form.
In addition, nothing important happened during this period, so Li Wei's instructions to them were to move around freely. The capital was relatively safe. Although the church was planning some bad things, they were powerless to do anything about it.
Inside the palace, Li Wei arrived at the Queen's bedroom with practiced ease. However, besides Mirelia, her daughter Melty was also present in the bedroom.
Melty inherited Mirelia's looks; aside from the color, she's practically a miniature version of Mirelia. Although she's still young, she's clearly a beauty in the making, and she'll definitely turn out stunning when she grows up.
However, Li Wei had no intention of playing a nurturing game. He was a staunch "mature person" and had an attitude of "only admiring from afar, not touching" towards these poor little girls.
Li Wei's attitude towards lolis is clear: they can be daughters, or younger sisters, but never as equals. In his view, how weak does a man have to be to find a sense of conquest and accomplishment in a loli? Like enoki mushrooms?
That is why Levi only had admiration for Melty, without the slightest ill will.
“Oh, so His Majesty Melty is here too. Then I shall take my leave,” Li Wei said.
“Hero, if it’s something important, you don’t need to avoid Melty. She’s the future queen of this kingdom, so it’s not a bad thing for her to get involved in things beforehand.” Mirelia raised her hand and stopped Levi.
Li Wei turned around and said, "It's about the intelligence regarding the waves. Originally, I wasn't planning to say anything since Your Majesty was here. But since Your Majesty insists, I'll just say it directly. I've found the mastermind behind the waves. The waves are indeed not a natural phenomenon, but a man-made disaster."
Mirelia knew about this and didn't show any surprise, but Melty was different; it was the first time she had heard of such a thing, so she was quite shocked.
"The wave was man-made? What's going on?!" Melty's voice involuntarily rose. (Money's Rules)
Li Wei said, "It means exactly what it says. The wave is a disaster instigated by humans. This calamity that has swept through hundreds of worlds is being pushed by someone behind the scenes. These invaded worlds are all victims of a ritual."
Li Wei revealed the intelligence he obtained from infiltrating the enemy's base camp, omitting the part about the bronze bell, as fewer people should know about such matters involving magical treasures and trump cards.
After spending some time explaining to the two of them what had happened, both Mirelia and Melty looked like they had been struck by lightning.
Mirelia's face was extremely grim. She said, "Is our world merely a necessary sacrifice for their revival? These guys have made a mess of other people's worlds and done such heinous things; it's really gone too far."
Chapter 4. Melty's Doubts
Li Wei said, "They want to revive their race and civilization. With no other choice, they can only sacrifice the interests of others to achieve their goals. Although they have been defeated by hostile civilizations, for primitive civilizations that have not yet left their home planet, the power they possess is no different from that of legendary gods and demons. Of course, this only applies to primitive civilizations that have not yet left their home planet. For those interstellar forces with a little power, the mastermind behind the Tide is nothing more than a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
When the technological gap becomes too large, the conflict between the two sides can no longer be called a war, but rather a one-sided crushing defeat. The War of the Waves, to some extent, is a proxy war. Those spirit-like beings do not intend to take action themselves, but rather torment many worlds little by little, collect the resentment generated by these worlds, and then transform it into yin attribute energy to supply the Great Bell, thereby obtaining feedback from the Great Bell.
However, the great bell that the other side relied on as their trump card has now been cracked by him. Even the function of the great bell to transmit energy to the outside world is being promoted by him behind the scenes in place of that fire demon god.
It can be said that as long as Li Wei removed the external energy propulsion from the Great Bell, the plans for those elf-like beings would immediately fail.
Mirelia sighed and said, "Although the enemy has indeed suffered heavy losses and is merely a survivor of civilization, they are still incredibly powerful to us. The gap between us is simply too great. If it weren't for you, Hero, here, we would have had no chance to fight back at all."
Mirelia was well aware of her own limitations. In her current kingdom, she couldn't even defeat Hobra, who lived on the same planet, let alone fight against an enemy like an elf. She estimated that the enemy would have a way to wipe them out the moment the battle started.
Mirelia asked curiously, "Those guys are far stronger than us. They even treat the ground beneath our feet as toys. So, what kind of terrifying beings are these machine civilizations that could destroy their civilization?"
Although the kingdom is a feudal country, Queen Mirelia is someone who likes to see the world, so she is quite curious about the mechanical civilization that destroyed those elven-like civilizations.
Li Wei said, "If Hobra continues to develop along the current path, when it reaches its peak, it will become a mechanical civilization. The power of mechanical civilization is undeniable, but this development path is not without weaknesses and flaws. Simply following the mechanical civilization path can easily lead to a dead end in development."
In Li Wei's view, the original civilization of the elf-like beings, with its two-pronged approach, could have gone much further than a purely mechanical path. Unfortunately, the development of that elf-like civilization was not so smooth; it was interrupted while it was still in its developmental stage. If these elf-like civilizations had truly developed, that mechanical civilization might very well have been overthrown.
Li Wei said, "The development of civilizations is diverse, and there is no absolutely correct path. Every path, when taken to its extreme, can become quite powerful. However, not every civilization can develop to that point; the premature demise of a civilization is all too easy."
Mirelia and Melty both looked deeply troubled, especially Melty, for what Levi had revealed was far too shocking for her.
Mirelia frowned slightly and said, "Can we handle an enemy like this?"
Li Wei's description caused Mirelia to lose confidence in facing the enemy. Although the other side was also a loser in the competition of civilizations, crushing them, a primitive civilization that had not even been able to leave their home planet, would be as simple as eating and drinking.
Li Wei said, "If you rely solely on yourselves, you are indeed no match for those guys. The power that the kingdom currently possesses is like an infant to them, posing no threat whatsoever. However, I will deal with them. After all, I will not stand idly by when something like this involves multiple planets."
