The Ring That Defies The Heavens Chapter 1027 - An Acceptable Excuse

"I… My head's all messed up right now. Let's head home first…" Jiang Fei was suddenly unable to make a decision as he felt very conflicted.

"As you wish, captain!" When 0542 saw that Jiang Fei had stored the Rebirth Egg in the spatial ring, it did not try to persuade Jiang Fei any further as it knew that Jiang Fei had already made a decision in his heart. He was unable to make it a clear-cut decision only for now.

With the urgent need to heal Bella and revive the two women in the endless s.p.a.ce, Jiang Fei did not actually have any other choice. In the depths of his heart, he had already made the decision to extract the energy from the Rebirth Egg. However, he could not make the final call due to his own morals. Jiang Fei was now struggling with finding an excuse to justify his decision, rather than actually struggling with what to do to the Rebirth Egg.

"Let's go home…" Jiang Fei shook his head as he turned toward Ariel.

"Which home?" Isabella asked.

"The Winter Islands!" Jiang Fei said as he raised his head. By then, his entire family had already migrated to the Winter Islands. That was naturally his home.

"Let's go home!" Ariel smiled. Although Bella was still in a horrible state, 0542 had a.s.sured them that there was a solution. Therefore, Ariel was finally able to relax.

As Ariel used her instant teleportation, Jiang Fei and the two arrived at the Winter Islands. Not long after Jiang Fei gave a call to Han Tianyu, a helicopter arrived near them.

"Ah Fei, where have you been? I couldn't contact you at all!" Han Tianyu had a lot of things to tell Jiang Fei.

"Please make arrangements for us to rest. We can talk tomorrow!" Right then, it was already in the middle of the night in the Winter Islands. As Jiang Fei still felt very troubled, he was not in the mood to discuss anything with Han Tianyu.

"Erm… Alright!" Although Han Tianyu was surprised by Jiang Fei's reaction, he was smart enough not to challenge his own boss. Therefore, he immediately prepared rooms for Jiang Fei and the other two to rest. He would bring the other stuff up for discussion tomorrow.

After a servant had brought Jiang Fei to his room, he still could not fall asleep despite lying on his bed for a long while. The prospects described by 0542 was far too tempting. As long as the super radar was activated, Jiang Fei would be able to accomplish anything he wished. Everything he needed would be at his feet and all of his previous problems could be solved with ease.

However, doing so would mean sacrificing Beowulf. The fellow had sought help from Zhuge Shanzhen, who was known for his integrity, because he was worried that his Rebirth Egg would be swallowed by someone else.

However, the unlucky fellow did not realize that Zhuge Shanzhen was not a real person at all. Although Jiang Fei had initially promised to a.s.sist him in his reincarnation process, Jiang Fei somehow turned out to be the person who would end his life instead.

"This is so annoying!" Jiang Fei rolled around in his bed. As a young man who had left school less than a year ago, Jiang Fei was not as merciless as the other metahumans. Therefore, he was still trying to find an appropriate excuse for his decision.

As time went on, Jiang Fei was still unable to fall asleep. Right then, 0542's voice could be heard.

"Captain, you are far too worried right now. I suggest you enter the game to relax your mind!" It was already close to 4 o'clock in the morning in the Winter Islands. For China, Dawnlight's server had only just been opened.

"Alright!" Jiang Fei immediately agreed. He was looking for a way to escape from his thoughts.

After logging into the game, Jiang Fei felt that he was in a different world. After all, he had already not been in the game for eighteen days. A lot has changed since his last visit.

"Hey, look who's online. It's our guildmaster!" Lady Casanova said teasingly. After all, Jiang Fei was the guildmaster. His disappearance for the last two weeks caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the guild's officials.

"Erm… I have been busy lately. Hehe. Very busy…" Jiang Fei laughed awkwardly. He then asked, "What's the situation in the game?"

"Not too bad. Everything is organized. We've just been a little slow in our progress…" Seven Stars Warrior briefly explained the recent developments in the game to Jiang Fei.

The levels of the players in the game did not change much. They were still mostly between Level 75 and Level 80. Very few players had made it past Level 80. As Jiang Fei had issued related quests before he disappeared, the players were still very diligent in attacking the Cultist Fortress.

Right then, the Cultist Fortress was destroyed up to 80%. The remaining strong Boss monsters were not yet defeated. The Chronos Gate's energy supply had already been terminated. However, as the Boss monsters were still around, it had not yet been destroyed.

Jiang Fei was able to find out what was happening among the players from Seven Stars Warrior. However, Seven Stars Warrior and the rest had no idea what the High Human's Heavenly Court was up to. Jiang Fei would have to check on them personally.

"Nevermind. Let's get rid of the last few Boss monsters!" Jiang Fei said after some thought. He had previously promised Ou Yezi that he would destroy the Cultist Fortress. However, due to some special reason, he had not been in the game for eighteen days continuously. If he went to look for Ou Yezi now, Jiang Fei would definitely be reprimanded. Therefore, he decided that he would get rid of the Cultist Fortress before approaching Ou Yezi. By doing so, even if Jiang Fei were to be punished, the punishment would not be too severe.

After making up his mind, Jiang Fei summoned the Skygliding Dragon and quickly made his way to the Cultist Fortress.

The Cultist Fortress had become the players' playground. The arrow towers and defensive structures had already been destroyed. Although small soldiers from the Cultist were still sp.a.w.ning, they were now targets for players to train with. The Cultist Fortress no longer seemed as daunting as it previously did.

Seeing how happy the players were, Jiang Fei could guess that these players must have sacrificed a lot at the beginning of the battle. However, they must have also earned a lot of rewards for their efforts.

After meeting up with Seven Stars Warrior and the rest, Jiang Fei directly approached the Chronos Gate. There were four Boss monsters remaining. Two of them were being targeted by players. Multiple guilds had formed an alliance to fight against these two monsters. Even so, they seemed to be struggling quite a bit. Whenever these Overlord Boss monsters attacked, dozens and even hundreds of players could be killed. If they used AoE spells, up to thousands of players would be killed instantly.

"Did a lot of lives have to be sacrificed before this?" Jiang Fei asked curiously.

"Of course. None of the tankers were able to withstand the Overlord Boss monsters' attacks when you weren't around. We could only count on our numbers. Besides, there are many players to go around. Sooner or later, these Boss monsters would be killed." Lady Casanova said with a shrug.
