"Finally! Finally, someone called my name correctly!"
He grabbed Huo Linfei's arm, tears streaming down his face.
"Brother Fei, did you hear that? He called me Slim Handsome! Not Fatty!"
Lin Ci looked at this clown and shook his head helplessly.
A flash of purple light appeared, and Long Ying appeared before everyone with Long Jian.
A blue supernatural power lock has appeared on Long Jian's wrist.
That was a prize that the Stegosaurus personally presented to him as a champion's reward after the ceremony.
Upon seeing Lin Ci, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
"Senior, we meet again."
Lin Ci nodded, skipping all the pleasantries, and got straight to the point.
"Okay, no more nonsense."
His gaze swept over Huo Linfei, Tianyu, and Miao Tiaojun, finally settling on Long Jian.
"Go and join them to stop Hades from being resurrected."
Chapter 62 Long Jian, you don't want the dragon race to suffer annihilation, do you?
Long Jian stood there, stunned.
His brain was a little off.
How to prevent Hades' resurrection?
I just arrived and I'm already facing such a high-intensity mission?
Moreover, is it to prevent Hades' resurrection?
Long Jian's face was full of confusion.
He looked at Lin Ci, his eyes filled with deep confusion.
"Senior, why is this?"
Lin Ci looked at him, her mind racing.
In the original story, Long Jian was killed because Long Ying, in disguise, was the Scorpion King, who slaughtered the dragon race.
He was burdened with a deep-seated hatred and embarked on the path of revenge.
He eventually joined the Super Beast Squad to fight Hades.
But the Long Jian before us lives a happy life, his tribe is harmonious, and he has a sunny, cheerful, and positive personality.
How can we get him to willingly fight against Hades?
Lin Ci's gaze swept over the blue supernatural power lock on his wrist, and she made up her mind.
"Because, once Hades is resurrected, he will use force to rule all parallel universes."
"Wherever it goes, it will only bring endless war and chaos."
Lin Ci's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight.
"Long Jian, you don't want to see the thriving dragon race suffer another catastrophe, do you?"
These last words struck Long Jian's heart like a heavy hammer.
His eyes turned cold instantly.
These two words touched the most sensitive nerve in his heart.
He couldn't imagine what a hellish scene it would be if war were to befall a people who were currently living in peace and prosperity.
There are actually such evil people in this universe.
He would never allow his people or his homeland to suffer even the slightest pain of war.
More importantly, this was a request made by senior Lin Ci.
Senior Long Ying, the Holy Maiden of the White Dragon Clan, who was standing beside him, did not raise any objections, clearly indicating that she had tacitly approved of the matter.
Would they really harm themselves?
Having figured this out, Long Jian no longer hesitated.
He knelt solemnly on one knee in front of Lin Ci, one hand on his chest.
"Senior! Long Jian is willing to go!"
"For the future of the dragon race, for the peace of the universe, I am willing to give everything!"
His voice was powerful and resonant, echoing across the empty arena.
Lin Ci looked at the flame burning in his eyes and smiled with relief.
"Very good, let's set off immediately."
The chubby boy standing to the side, Miao Tiaojun, immediately raised his arm and shouted excitedly.
"Yay! Let's go! Our Super Beast Team has gained another powerful member!"
Huo Linfei's focus was somewhat different; he keenly grasped a certain word in Lin Ci's words.
"Us? Senior, are you also going with us?"
Lin Ci nodded calmly.
"That's right, your next destination is the third parallel universe, isn't it?"
"I happen to be going there to take care of some things. Could you give me a ride? You don't mind, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Tianyu smiled gently.
"Of course we don't mind. It's our honor to have you accompany us, senior. Please."
She turned to the side and made an elegant gesture of invitation, inviting Lin Ci to board the Xuanwu spaceship.
Upon hearing this, Long Ying panicked.
Brother Lin Ci, are you leaving already?
I had only just met him, and we hadn't even exchanged more than a few words yet.
"Brother Lin Ci..."
Her voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, with a hint of pleading.
"Are you leaving already? Long Ying hasn't had enough time with you yet..."
Lin Ci turned around and looked into her purple eyes, which were filled with reluctance, and his heart softened.
He raised his hand and, just like ten thousand years ago, gently ruffled Long Ying's smooth, short, white hair tinged with purple.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take care of something."
"Once this is all done, I will have a good reunion with your father and you in the fifth parallel universe."
Hearing that there would be another chance to meet, Long Ying's face finally broke into a smile again.
That smile was enough to melt ten thousand years of ice and snow.
"That's great! Brother Lin Ci, I'll come home to find you as soon as I've finished dealing with things here!"
Lin Ci smiled and nodded.
"See you then."
However, he then thought of something else.
Both the Whale Shark King and Yuan Zheng are in the third parallel universe. Once I've captured their spirits, my mission is complete.
It seems there's no need to go to the fourth parallel universe.
But according to the plot, Huo Linfei and his group have to go.
How will I get to the underworld then?
Lin Ci's gaze fell on Long Ying again.
When the time comes, I'll just have this girl come and pick me up.
Having made up his mind, Lin Ci and Long Ying officially said goodbye.
In the instant he turned around, he silently disappeared from his own shadow.
A faint, almost imperceptible ray of light separated out and quietly merged into Long Ying's shadow.
That was one of the commanders of his Shadow Legion, Sun.
With this medium, he can contact Long Ying at any time.
After doing all this, he boarded the Xuanwu spaceship with Huo Linfei and the others, amidst Long Ying's reluctant gaze.
The fifth parallel universe, the underworld.
It was cold and deathly silent.
Inside the magnificent yet empty Hades Palace, not a trace of life could be felt.
In the center of the main hall, a black coffin exuding an ominous aura rested silently.
Four figures, their auras as deep and unfathomable as the sea, stood before the coffin, silently waiting for something.
One of the figures, clad in golden armor shaped like a lion and sporting a head of wild, untamed short red hair, was none other than the Lion King.
He broke the silence first, his voice as steady as a mountain.
"The Super Beast Squad has left the second parallel universe and is now heading towards the third parallel universe."
Standing beside him was a man dressed in silver-white armor.
His face was resolute, and his eyes were calm yet sharp. He was none other than Long Fei, the patriarch of the White Dragon Clan.
Ten thousand years have given him a sense of authority and vicissitude, befitting a commander.
"Lord Hades will need three more days to awaken."
