Chapter 1699: A Grim Future

Main Post

The Council Elders once again held a meeting over a call. They needed to report every update to the Quasi-Gods, and since Zack Lockwood had just created a new record, it had to be reported.

Because Zack Lockwood was under the supervision of Quasi-God Jane, they decided to report directly to her. The news was quickly relayed.

Meanwhile,

Quasi-God Jane was in her special space ground. The news was brought to her by an assistant. When she heard it, she was shocked, taken aback by Zack Lockwood’s rapid progress.

She knew the truth about Zack Lockwood. She knew that he had more than one ancient inheritance and one bloodline inheritance.

Still, it was not easy to become a Red Mark Warrior in each of those inheritances.

Yet, Zack Lockwood had become a Red Mark Warrior. She didn’t know the status of his other inheritances.

She then told her assistant to relay the same instructions: they needed to keep an eye on Zack Lockwood.

If there were any updates on him, they must report them immediately. After receiving the orders, her assistant left.

Quasi-God Jane didn’t share this information with her friends. She didn’t want the matter to spread further.

She also knew that the main battlefield was facing a major crisis. The foreign creatures were releasing Thorn Reapers and other elite creatures onto the main battlefield.

This would make things challenging for the Red Mark Warriors stationed there. Her eyes turned cold.

The higher-ups had launched a terrible strike against the dark planet, yet the foreign creatures there had not learned their lesson.

They had started breaking the rules again by sending elite creatures to the main battlefield.

She suspected the upcoming battles would be serious.

...

The following day,

I woke up the next morning, got out of bed, and started my morning routine. The routine lasted for one hour. After finishing, my attention shifted to the essence chamber.

Creak!

I opened the essence chamber and went inside, deciding to recover all the inheritance forces I had lost during the challenge.

The door shut automatically. I went to the console and turned on the switches. Energy from the inlet flowed into the room.

The rich, special energy spread across the room like a white mist. I walked to the middle of the room and sat cross-legged on the ground. I began to run the inheritance force methods one by one.

As time went by, the lightning force recovered inside my dantian.

Next, I switched to the shock force method. It took me one hour to recover the shock force power in my dantian. Then, I began to recover the other inheritance forces one by one.

Post noon,

I exited the essence chamber. Then, I went to the bathroom to take a shower, which lasted for 20 minutes. After stepping out, I changed into comfortable clothes.

Only then did I feel relieved. I walked over to the sofa and lay down on it. I didn’t know when the next battle was going to occur, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Meanwhile,

The Red Mark Warriors were busy training. The news about Zack Lockwood’s record reached them slowly.

There were people paying attention to Zack Lockwood’s updates, and when they received the news, they were shocked.

They hadn’t expected Zack Lockwood to create another record. This time, the record was so monumental that even the most senior warriors were discussing it.

Even the heirs of the famous warrior families were shocked by the news. They had already given up on comparing themselves to Zack Lockwood after his previous records.

Now, they had even more confirmation. It was completely clear that Zack Lockwood had surpassed them.

Their strength was nowhere near his. Those from the influential families knew about the night cell tower, and they knew how terrifying the 9th opponent was.

Even the current veteran Red Mark Warriors were no match for the 8th and 9th opponents in the night cell tower.

Zack Lockwood was the first to create such a record in recent memory, which alone proved how terrifying he was.

They didn’t want to offend someone who was currently more dangerous than the opponents inside the night cell tower.

Evening came.

Alarm!

The battle alarm sounded, echoing throughout the main post. The Red Mark Warriors who had been busy training exited their camps.

They rushed toward the empty grounds. One after another, figures flew toward the location. This time, the battle was going to be difficult.

The seniors wore serious expressions on their faces. They didn’t know how many of them would return alive this time.

...

Residence

In my room, I was sleeping on the sofa. The sudden blare of the battle alarm woke me up. I got off the sofa and changed into my uniform.

Next, I rushed out the window and headed toward the empty grounds. I saw a few other figures flying toward the same destination.

I came to a stop after nearing the empty grounds and watched the warriors go inside the space crack one by one.

The expressions on those warriors did not go unnoticed by me. They were worried about something. I had heard that an elite creature appeared last time.

Meanwhile, the ancient spirit sensed that the atmosphere was intense outside.

"You will have to endure more than this. The Sky Battlefield is even more dangerous than the battlefield here," the ancient spirit said in my mind.

"The Sky Battlefield?" I replied.

"Yes, but you have to become a Quasi-God first for that," the ancient spirit said.

I fell silent. I had decided to accumulate enough experience in the Red Mark Warrior rank first; then, I would think about the Quasi-God rank.

I kept watching them go inside the space crack. It didn’t take long for my turn to come.

All the Red Mark Warriors had entered the main battlefield. Now, the other space cracks were gone. Instead, there was one single, large space crack.

It was a crack leading to the special battlefield. I vanished from my spot and entered the space crack in a single step.

Meanwhile,

The Council Elders were watching the scene. They shared the same worry as the Red Mark Warriors, not knowing which type of elite creature was going to appear on the main battlefield this time.
