NOVEL WEB Chapter 1268: Jian's Worries
"Boss, the finish line is just ahead." urged a member of the Star Emperor Team to Little Che.
Little Che sat inside the mecha, holding a piece of jerky, teasing the little gray fox, "Full speed ahead!"
A team member said, "Only the Jean Minuo Team remains a threat. Boss, should we just... Boss! How are they ahead of us?!"
"Impossible!" Immediately, all the team members checked the map.
"They took a shortcut to the front." A member realized.
Little Tiantian slapped Little Che with a paw, "Overtake them!"
Little Che laughed, "I wouldn't dare, my dad would thrash me."
"Oh! That does sound painful."
"Haha... Seems like you've also received 'special attention' from Uncle Qing." Little Che patted Little Tiantian's back fur, "When are you returning to the Primordial Beast World?"
"We're here to rescue Uncle Abel. But he's fine now, we'll probably play for a bit longer and then head back." Little Tiantian rolled in his arms, sharing the dust on his body with his dear brother.
Little Che smiled wryly, "Spend more time playing, I happen to have some free time."
"That depends on Mom." Little Tiantian sighed, "Although it was a false alarm with Uncle Abel, Uncle Jun is truly worrying."
"What happened?" Little Che quite liked Jun, although they hadn't spent much time together, he felt like a very reliable elder.
Little Tiantian said, "It has to do with the Era Time Wheel..."
Although Little Che didn't give the attack command, as they approached the Jean Minuo Team, his members acted on their own.
However, they quickly realized they couldn't get close to that B-level mecha at all.
"It's a Superpower Domain!" shouted a team member.
"Such a large domain! Who is it?"
"No idea. This time, the Jean Minuo Team clearly displayed unusual strength in the later stages. They were lagging behind early on, who would've thought they were just pretending to be weak."
"No wonder they easily wiped out the insect swarm."
"Just for that domain, I admit defeat gladly."
Listening to his team's discussion, Little Che dragged out a person from the storage room of the mecha, who turned out to be the real commander of the Star Emperor Team, Sang Ji.
"Let's go." Little Che said to Little Tiantian.
Little Tiantian nodded, jumping onto his shoulder.
Little Che took him away.
At the same time, after Sally and her team's mecha reached the finish line, Xiaomei revived the four Jean Minuo Team members they replaced and left the arena.
Back in the VIP lounge, Sally checked on the three little mouse daughters, who were still asleep.
Yan Ze said, "How mixed is my daughter's bloodline that she still hasn't woken up? Little Tiantian woke up in two hours."
"Little Tiantian is in the Transcendence Realm now. Little Qianzhi wasn't much affected by my Divine Ascension Merit, so her realm is a bit lower, and she absorbs slower." Sally replied, "Besides, haven't you always liked her being able to sleep peacefully?"
"True, it does give some peace and quiet." Yan Ze reached out, "Hand her over to me then."
"Okay." Sally moved Little Qianzhi out of the System Space, along with Little Chan Chan.
However, just as Sally handed Little Chan Chan to Yase, the little one woke up with a start, her big purple-red eyes blinking, turning into a little girl, "Now that fruit really packs a punch."
Yase: "..."
With Little Beibei still asleep, Sally left her in the space for now.
At the warm invitation of Chexus, the group proceeded to his Royal Palace, while Enzo stayed behind for the closing banquet of the Yago Cup.
The four lucky members of the Jean Minuo Team not only regained life but also claimed the championship glory.
Not long after Sally's group arrived at Chexus's palace, they received a message from King—Jian was coming with Little Fengning and Little Xinxin, related to Jun.
******
Heaven Palace.
Jian learned that Sally had taken the kids to play in the Aslanda Star System and wanted to join them.
But King kept him back, "I've already informed Yanyan, and they should be back in a few days. You rarely visit, let me host and treat you this time."
"No need to be so formal." Jian laughed, then sent Little Fengning and Little Xinxin to find Little Yuanyuan to hang out.
"I noticed Little Fengning no longer has the Primordial Demon System in him."
"Yep, he encountered the Immortal-level Yao Er in Little Chan Chan's Universe, which destroyed his Primordial Demon System. Later, he received the Desolate Ancient Demon Egg from Jun and is now part of the Ancient Demon Clan."
"Immortal level… I've only come across one in my entire life. Seems like Little Chan Chan's Universe has great potential ahead." King laughed, "When one reaches the bottom, the only way is up. I see Little Fengning doing well now."
"But inheriting the Ancient Demon Body, he might attract the attention of the Time Wheel." Jian wasn't cheerful about this.
King asked in surprise, "Why?"
"The rotation of the Time Wheel requires a lot of fortune, and the Ancient Beast was born from such fortune." Jian sighed.
King couldn't help but sympathize, "But isn't Little Chang Le the same?"
"No." Jian replied, "Although it's unclear what Beast Body Little Chang Le has, it's likely he's a Human Clan hybrid, not a pure blood."
"Hybrids seemingly disadvantaged, but they can avoid many fated calamities."
"Exactly!" Jian fully agreed, "Little Dot and Little Guoguo are said to be Ancient Beasts, but with Yanyan's bloodline mixed in, the Time Wheel may not interest them. Compared to them, my chances of being in a Holy Sacrifice are higher, so I'm not worried. But Little Fengning, having directly inherited the Ancient Demon Body, is almost a living target for the Time Wheel!"
"What does the Heavenly Dao say?" King asked.
Jian sneered, "You should have seen his face—'Your son is the perfect candidate for the next Era Holy Sacrifice!' might as well be written all over it."
"..." King understood the Heavenly Dao's stance, for it carried the destiny of the entire Primordial Beast World.
Just like him, wanting to be with Sally, but the System World needed him, so he had to sacrifice his personal desires.
"Does Little Fengning know?" King inquired.
Jian replied, "This child has become increasingly withdrawn, I'm not entirely sure."
...
Upon learning that Jun temporarily didn't need cosmic energy, the 24th slowed down the retrieval of the star system. However, the decision to recover hasn't changed, as the development of the new timeline also requires cosmic energy.
After assigning the collection task to Little Zhouzhou, he headed to the Heaven Palace.
Seeing Jian had brought the kids over, the 24th was overjoyed, "Come stay at my place for a while. I have the best wine and the most beautiful females in the whole Abel Universe."
"Oh? The most beautiful females?" Sally appeared through Teleport, catching the 24th's words just in time.
The 24th's hair stood on end, "Yanyan, let me explain."
Sally glanced at him, "What's there to explain? The most beautiful females, just what I want to see, let's go then. King can join too, broaden our horizons."
Yase, seeing the 24th in a pinch, had a radiant smile on his face.
