I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

However, their attack was nothing short of a joke. They couldn't even get close to Liu Mengxian before being struck by lightning and scattered halfway through their attack. It was completely useless.

Despair rose in all four members of Odyssey; the gap in skill was too great, and their desperate attack might not even make a difference.

"Go, Fairy... destroy their spaceship!"

Yan Ziming silently recited his words, full of confidence in Liu Mengxian.

Others might not know, but she did know that Liu Mengxian could move at the speed of light, so even if the spaceship were twice as fast, it wouldn't matter!

However, things still took an unexpected turn.

Liu Mengxian ignored the attacks of the four Odyssey members, simply watching the spaceship gradually ascend into the sky until it disappeared from sight, without paying any attention to it.

Then, with a gentle turn, she left without leaving a trace.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Peace Talks

Seeing the spaceship rapidly ascend, they were too late to stop it. So everyone turned their attention to the being who could shatter the heavens with a single sword strike, hoping that Liu Mengxian could destroy him with swift and decisive action.

However, she could only watch helplessly as the spaceship swept past, slowly ascending into the sky, and finally disappearing into space, without taking any action to stop it.

The crowd wondered, "Does this mean they plan to shoot it down at the last minute?"

To everyone's surprise, Liu Mengxian's next move was even more astonishing; she simply turned around and left!

The four Odyssey members, who had originally gone to the point of certain death to hold back Liu Mengxian, were caught off guard and looked rather comical, completely bewildered.

However, they weren't the only ones who were ridiculous; everyone was the same, including Yan Ziming.

"Xian...'er?"

Yan Ziming never expected Liu Mengxian to do such a thing, letting the enemy's spaceship ascend into space and then simply leaving.

If things go wrong, the same thing that happened to me back then might happen to Liu Mengxian, and Liu Mengxian might become the target of public criticism... But that's probably not very likely, right?

If people want to survive the end times peacefully, offending such a powerful figure is simply courting death.

But! There must be something hidden behind this!

Suddenly, a small hand patted his back. Yan Ziming turned around and found Ye Qianxue with her eyes closed and her arms crossed, looking like she was trying hard to hold back her emotions.

"Go quickly, Qianxue won't mind."

"......"

Yan Ziming was on the verge of tears. She wanted to catch up, but how could she possibly match Liu Mengxian's speed? Even with Ye Qianxue's spatial teleportation, it was useless.

After calming down and thinking it over carefully, Yan Ziming smiled and shook his head, while Ye Qianxue became anxious: "Big sister, why don't you chase after them!"

She had personally experienced something like this, and Yan Ziming had also personally experienced it. The two were so similar that Ye Qianxue could understand the feelings of the people involved very well.

That definitely requires outsiders to help them resolve their inner conflicts.

Yan Ziming smiled easily and pinched her cheek: "Silly girl, no need."

"Why can you still laugh, big sister?!"

"Xian'er is not the kind of person whose emotions drive her reason. Her departure must have been based on her own will and considerations. She is different from you, from me...

"......Eh?"

Ye Qianxue sensed a hint of sadness in Yan Ziming's voice and froze in place.

Yan Ziming looked at her with affection: "It seems you don't understand yet. Let's talk about it when you're older."

“Hmm…” Ye Qianxue puffed out her cheeks, but surprisingly did not refute.

Perhaps it was because Liu Mengxian was usually too close to them that Yan Ziming almost overlooked a fact.

Before this Soul-level powerhouse, they were all nothing more than children...

Yan Ziming felt that his and Ye Qianxue's actions that time were nothing more than reckless courage. It could only be said that they were still young and making mistakes was inevitable. But Liu Mengxian had lived through countless years. Yan Ziming would never believe that she would do the same thing as him and Ye Qianxue.

“We’ll just do what we need to do here. If Xian’er wants to say something, she will.”

Yan Ziming refocused his attention on the battlefield.

A purple shooting star streaked across the sky and, upon spotting Yan Ziming, immediately changed direction and rushed towards her. At the same time, a spatial rift silently tore open beside Yan Ziming, and a pair of soft hands reached out from within to embrace the two sisters.

"Mu Mu... can't you be serious when you come out?"

Yan Ziming pulled away in disgust, and at that moment, the purple shooting star landed steadily in front of her; it was Mo Sheng.

As soon as she stopped, she asked Yan Ziming anxiously, "Sister Ziming, do you know anything about His Majesty's departure?"

"......have no idea."

After thinking for a while, Yan Zimo gave his answer.

Held tenderly in Mu Mu's arms, Ye Qianxue peeked out and asked, "Sister Mo Sheng, how did this battle go?"

"I don't know yet." Mo Sheng's expression was very serious: "I just received news that the spaceship has entered space and destroyed us and four other satellites."

"That means?"

"We...have no other options."

Mu Mu's eyes turned cold: "Is this a show of force against us?"

Mo Sheng helplessly and with a sense of humiliation spread her hands: "Yes, it's a demonstration, or you could say a warning, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Actually, the result is acceptable.

The fact that Odyssey, with such a powerful weapon, only destroyed a few satellites of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council shows that the other side does not want a full-scale war, but it also flexed its muscles and warned the five permanent members that we have the capability to continue to retaliate.

"If we take any further action against Odyssey, they will definitely have corresponding countermeasures. If that continues, we will have no choice but to negotiate with those living fossils."

"Sister Zimo, I'll ask you one more time, is His Majesty using them to set up some kind of plan, or does he have other considerations that are causing him to let things go unchecked?"

Mo Sheng grabbed Yan Ziming's shoulders and asked expectantly.

"Uh, planning... I don't think she has any plans, but I believe she has her own reasons."

"Is this so..."

Mo Sheng sighed. Her personal wish was to wipe out Odyssey in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, it seemed impossible now.

There are spacecraft in the human world that can keep up with that spaceship, but in space... that's really a stretch.

“I think it’s time we sat down and had a proper talk.”

The Great Sage and his companions descended from the sky, their voices echoing throughout the city and then spreading to the outer seas, audible to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao and the others clenched their fists, their eyes blazing with fury!

Despite such a favorable situation, they were outmaneuvered by these living fossils and found themselves in a passive position!

They were so close to victory, just a hair's breadth away!

The moment the shield was broken, the communication restrictions were likely lifted by the Odyssey team, allowing them to receive the message from the outside world.

This should have been a good thing, but what they received was a unanimous demand from the top leaders of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council—a temporary ceasefire!

They were so angry they almost exploded!

So many people have made so many sacrifices and efforts, victory was just around the corner, and all we got in return was a ceasefire?

"You're all very smug, aren't you?"

Luther's face was as black as could be. Looking at the four great sages who were gradually descending in front of them, he wished he could continue to fight them to the death.

"Triumphant?" The great sage's voice was filled with bitterness: "Yes... but it was just luck..."

She initially believed that Odyssey would ultimately succumb to this calamity, given Liu Mengxian's overwhelming power. They were like moths drawn to the sun, ultimately being burned to ashes by the intense heat without achieving anything.

Everyone, including her, thought that Liu Mengxian could destroy the spaceship they regarded as their last hope in one fell swoop, but that was not the case.

Since the start of the war, the situation has changed drastically several times, and the ups and downs of life during this period are truly indescribable.

To be honest, they didn't even have the energy to be happy.

At this moment, Mu Mu had already teleported over with Yan Zimo and the others, and they faced off directly against the four members of Odyssey.

“Yan Zimo…” The Imperial Advisor looked at her with a complicated expression.

If he still doesn't understand the relationship between Yan Ziming and Liu Mengxian by now, then he should resign from his position as Imperial Advisor as soon as possible.

They are both lightning-based ability users, capable of causing changes in celestial phenomena. He would never believe that there is no connection between them.

Mo Sheng stepped forward, her expression unchanged.

"Didn't you say you wanted to talk? Let's start now."

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Never-ending Battle

The moment the spacecraft ascended into space, senior military leaders from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council began their meeting via video link.

Yan Shan, the representative of China, is currently facing questioning from the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council.

"What on earth is wrong with that person in China?! Did they just stand by and watch the enemy's spaceship go into space?"

"Did you ask us to send troops just to watch this farce?"

"China must provide an explanation!"
