Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 595 - 569: The Great Battle

This area belongs to a semi-desert, with soft gravel, sparse weeds, and scattered small trees, carrying a sense of desolation.

Not far away, at a small mound.

A figure was constantly shooting arrows into the sky, the high-speed arrows caused a faint red glow due to air friction.

It was Ye Zong.

Chen Shouyi strolled over.

At Ye Zong’s feet lay a bundle of arrows. One arrow after another shot out, each one wrapped densely in electric light. Compared to the time when Chen Shouyi saw Ye Zong a year ago, his innate ability had become more powerful, and his control over electricity was now even more adept, as smooth as directing his own arm.

As the arrows shot out, they flew like meteors, even Chen Shouyi’s vision couldn’t catch them.

Chen Shouyi watched, his expression involuntarily turning slightly serious.

With such terrifying attack power, even if he transformed, it’s estimated he would still break through defenses.

"Such an innate ability, it’s really crazy!" He envied in his heart, "With armor-piercing arrows, killing a demigod would be like child’s play. Unlike my own wind control ability, which hasn’t made much progress yet!"

"Director Ye, practicing archery again?" Chen Shouyi found something to say.

Ye Zong glanced at him but did not respond and continued practicing archery.

"How do you practice your archery, any tips?" Chen Shouyi, unconcerned, continued the chatter.

"Practice more." Ye Zong finally spoke, "You’re still young, practice a few hours every day, practice for a dozen years, and that should be about it!"

Chen Shouyi felt a momentary pause in his heart, stuck for a while, knowing this was indeed the case.

It was completely pointless talk.

At that moment, Ye Zong shot another arrow and continued, "I also heard about your martial artist assessment last year, there’s really nothing much to care about. After all, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Practicing archery for young people is indeed quite boring!"

Chen Shouyi, hearing this, couldn’t help but turn a bit dark-faced.

I didn’t care at all!

He didn’t care at all, he basically didn’t use the bow much anymore, it just lay in space collecting dust.

Chen Shouyi didn’t want to continue this lousy topic and brought up the main issue, "Have you seen the intelligence about the God of Light?"

Ye Zong paused at his words, "Those ’angels’?"

He said while shooting another arrow, confidently stating, "As long as they get within five or six kilometers, I’m confident I can shoot them down."

Chen Shouyi: ...

He felt a bit uninterested, losing the enthusiasm for conversation.

"Then you continue practicing!"

He returned to his tent, feeling unamused.

Looking at the little one on the bed, he suddenly frowned.

It’s too dangerous for the little one to stay here!

If by any chance the cult drops a nuke here, it’s all over.

On Earth, her flying speed is hardly better than a sparrow’s, there’s no way she could escape.

"Little one, come here, Big Giant will take you to a fun place!"

Shell Lady looked up in surprise, "Big Giant, really?"

...

An hour later.

Over two hundred kilometers from the front line, at a rarely seen mountain slope.

"Boohoo, Big Giant, this place isn’t fun at all... Little One doesn’t want to stay here, Little One wants to be with Big Giant!" Shell Lady tugged at Chen Shouyi’s pant leg with tears streaming down her face, not letting him go:

"Little One will be very good, boohoo, don’t go, Little One is so scared..."

"It’s dangerous being with Big Giant, there are many bad guys trying to fight Big Giant."

"Little One will help you, brave Little One is afraid of nothing!"

"You’ll be eaten, they won’t even spit out the bones." Chen Shouyi scared her.

Shell Lady froze, forgetting to cry, "How can they be so bad?"

"That’s how bad they are, wait until Big Giant kills them, then I’ll come to find you, be good!"

Shell Lady struggled internally, finally agreeing with difficulty. "How many sunrises and sunsets?"

"Ten!"

For Shell Lady, who does addition and subtraction within a hundred every day, ten is just a small number to her. She cried, "Then Big Giant, you have to promise!"

"I promise!" Chen Shouyi said.

"But you always lie to Little One!" Shell Lady said, feeling aggrieved, tears falling again.

Chen Shouyi’s face turned red, quickly assuring, "I definitely won’t lie this time."

In case the war isn’t over yet, at worst, he would come again in ten days, after all, it’s not too far.

Next, Chen Shouyi put her toys, clothes, math book, and a small cup of divine blood into the just-dug small cave.

This cave was narrow outside but wider inside.

The opening was only as big as a fist, yet inside it was over half a meter wide.

Even if an animal could crawl into this cave, it wouldn’t be a match for Shell Lady, who consumes divine blood every day.

Finally, thinking about it, he took out a T-shirt, tore it, and stuffed it inside as Shell Lady’s little nest.

She crawled into the rudimentary cave, looking around gloomily.

"Do you like it?"

"...Don’t like it!"

Chen Shouyi felt like he asked a silly question, "Then I’m leaving, don’t be afraid!"

"I’m a brave Little One!" Shell Lady habitually said, then pouted, "But Big Giant, you have to come back soon. Little One will miss you..."

Chen Shouyi nodded, took one last look, resolutely turned around, and after a few steps, he leaped up, his body soaring skyward.

Shell Lady frantically ran out of the small cave, watching as Big Giant flew farther and farther away, gradually disappearing, a strong sense of loneliness surged in her heart.

"Waaah... Little One, so scared..."

She looked at the still noonday sun, suddenly found that a one... a... day, really was very, very long.

...

The second day was calm on the front line.

On the third day, it was still calm.

But everyone knew that this was the prelude to a storm.

Across a battlefield stretching hundreds of kilometers, countless anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons were densely arranged. The troops assembled at the front line had exceeded three million, with large numbers of flights coming and going daily.

Then, at dawn on the fourth day.

The piercing sound of the alarm suddenly echoed in the night sky.

Chen Shouyi was shocked awake from his bed and stepped outside the tent.

The whole battlefield was already a hive of activity, soldiers running everywhere briskly.

Countless searchlights swept back and forth across the sky.

"Full alert, full alert!"

"Attention to air defense, attention to air defense!"

The soldiers shouted hoarsely.

...

"Bang bang bang!"

Half a minute later, the sound of anti-aircraft guns finally began, rumbling like muffled thunder.

Chen Shouyi’s position was near the rear, still over twenty kilometers from the actual front line. Even at such a distance, he could not see what was happening upfront.

He opened the attribute panel.

His faith value had accumulated to 3350 points during this time.

Without hesitation, Chen Shouyi added three thousand points to his giant transformation.

A surging heat flowed inside his body, like a fire burning. Black lines surfaced on his skin, arcs of electricity flashing across his body. Fortunately, the atmosphere was tense, and no one paid attention to his abnormality. Once the heat subsided, he retrieved the war bow from space.

He headed forward.

"Together!" Not far away, Ye Zong saw Chen Shouyi and hurriedly came over.
