Chapter 1135: Cannot Be Overwritten

Zhang Lie spread his arms. "If I really had turned back space and time, would you all still have memories of the king of keys transforming into Silver?"

Everyone hesitated.

Yang Ze asked, "If the king of keys of the past has been killed, then why do we still remember Silver's existence? Shouldn't our memories have been overwritten?"

Zhang Lie explained, "Memories can't be overwritten so easily, let alone for entities on the level of superior kings like all of you. Memories are a record of time, a source of the past. It won't be overwritten in the short term, but as time passes, your memories will gradually become blurry, then forgotten, just as if you were in a dream."

Yang Ze glanced at Zhang Lie meaningfully. "So space and time are easier to overwrite than human minds and hearts?"

Zhang Lie shrugged. "I've never reached such a stage, so I can't say. All I did was attack the past. However, what you've claimed isn't entirely accurate. After some time passes, you'll naturally forget about Silver's existence." contemporary romance

Yang Ze sighed. "Space and time are truly mysterious, aren't they?"

Fang Yi, who had the most intuition about spacetime among the rest of them, remarked, "If you could understand spacetime, then it wouldn't be our captain using his attack—it'd be you."

Yang Ze folded his arms. "Just because I'm unable to accomplish that right now doesn't mean I won't be able to do so in the future.

Fang Yi remarked, "You didn't even intuit anything when we encountered the twelve stelae—I doubt you'll be able to go too far along this route."

Yang Ze pursed his lips and thought for a moment, but couldn't refute Fang Yi's words.

Zhang Lie turned toward Wilbow. "You're the last one. How should we deal with you?"

Yang Ze asked, "What do you plan on doing? It looks like we've won."

Wilbow raised both hands. "I surrender!" Wilbow had no intention of fighting to the death. If his father had been killed, his resistance would surely be equally futile.

Zhang Lie considered him. "Just how should I deal with you?"

Wilbow suggested, "Hey, Yang Ze! You promised to spare me if you won!"

Yang Ze glanced up at the void. "I mentioned it, did I? Or didn't I?"

Li Feng commented, "If you want to surrender, you'd better be a valuable asset."

Wilbow pledged, "I'm a combatant on the level of a superior king!"

Sun Mengmeng frowned. "I don't think we lack that..."

Sun Xiaowu cocked his head. "Are superior kings all that strong?"

If anyone else were to make this claim, Wilbow would have smashed their heads in. Superior kings lay at the peak of the three thousand worlds! Just how many inhabitants of the third realm could claim to be superior kings?

However, even Wilbow had to remain silent against this crowd—all nine of whom were on the level of superior kings, and who had even killed superior kings of antiquity.

The world of primordial chaos excepted, the nine humans in front of him had to represent the strongest force within the third realm.

Wilbow was certain that Team Zenith, as a premier force that had risen up, was a match for the king of chaos' subordinates. It was a force consisting of nine combatants that went beyond the level of superior kings, in alliance with three newly evolved superior worlds.

Except for the world of primordial chaos, none could stand against it.

Wilbow didn't want to die; he would much rather submit. Against this vicious crew, his strength and might paled in comparison. If they were to attack him all at once, he wouldn't be able to survive for even a single second.

Zhang Lie alone was an impenetrable existence. Even after his father was reborn as the otherworldly figure Silver, who was stronger than he could even fathom, far stronger than his father had been.

Even so, Zhang Lie slew Silver with a single cut. Zhang Lie couldn't be understood by regular means, either.

Zhang Lie's gaze turned murderous. "You killed my cherished pet, Gold Comet. Give me a reason to let you go."

Gold Comet had accompanied Zhang Lie ever since he entered the third realm.

Wilbow's desire to live came back in full force. He hurriedly announced, "I know where the mantis is being kept!"

"Oh? You mean to say that my pet's still alive?" Zhang Lie let a wisp of his genetic energy loose upon hearing that, frightening Wilbow to no end.

Sun Mengmeng frowned. "Didn't the king of keys state that Gold Comet was dead?"

Wilbow shrugged. "That's what Father said, but it was a lie. There are too many aspects of that beast that were worth research and investigation. Even if it wasn't going to submit, neither we nor Father could bear to kill it."

Despite its unwillingness to submit to the king of keys, Gold Comet's whole body was a pile of treasure. If they were able to identify the key characteristics of Gold Comet's development, they would have been able to reproduce Zhang Lie's monarch-grade farm.

Zhang Lie instructed, "Bring me over."

Wilbow asked, "Aren't you going to claim Father's superior world's energy for yourself?"

Silver's rebirth had consumed all the superior world's energy that the king of keys possessed, but Zhang Lie had slain the king of keys before he turned into Silver. As such, there were large numbers of world fragments and deposits of world's energy in the void surrounding them.

Before Zhang Lie left, he decided to collect all the world's energy.

The king of keys, custodian to myriad worlds, host to a miniaturized third realm, boasted a frightening amount of world's energy, and even the remnant energy left over from the fight was about thirty superior worlds' worth.

In comparison, the three newly evolved superior worlds were like destitute beggars. Who knew how much superior world's energy the king of keys had possessed at full strength?

Thirty superior worlds' worth of energy would allow them to cultivate even more monarch-grade lifeforms. Zhang Lie would be able to max out his monarch gene fragments, as would the members of Team Zenith.

.

"Lead the way!" Zhang Lie instructed, after collecting all the deposits of energy.

Wilbow obediently marched before them. "Actually, Father hid that beast within his galaxy of worlds."

Zhang Lie frowned.

Sun Mengmeng asked in concern, "But the king of keys is..."

Yang Ze asked, "Now that the king of keys has been killed by our captain and the worlds within his body have been shattered, forming the mess of rubble in front of us, can we be sure that Gold Comet is still alive?"

Wilbow replied, "Even so, the strongest lifeforms are able to cling to life. It's not so easy for such a strong beast to die."
