Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Hu Li, Standing Firm on the Earth (↓)

The sky-based bombardment from near-Earth orbit has begun — before Hu Li’s true form crashes down, the first to hit the planet’s surface is the suppressive barrage composed of numerous fox fire meteors.

The countless flames entwined around Hu Li split the moment they entered the atmosphere, transforming into thousands of small light clusters showering towards the ground. The dense "fire meteors" burned vigorously in the atmosphere, instantly evaporating all the clouds along their reentry path. Thousands of bright lines turned into a torrential downpour, triggering an astounding chain explosion the moment they touched the crystal jungle.

The entire crystal jungle began to quake violently, with a thunderous roar emanating from deep underground, interspersed with unsettling cracking sounds and eerie resonances.

Yu Sheng immediately sensed the chaotic roar and the change in the crystal jungle within his mind. He turned his head abruptly to look at the depths of the forest, only to see the center of the crystal "sea" rapidly rising — innumerable "giant trees" were merging as they grew rapidly, forming a crystal mass more massive than all previous "Yun Qingzi" combined.

As it rose, it continued to change shape — sometimes appearing as an old man with hair and beard bristling, sometimes as a towering giant tree, and sometimes as an illogical structure, resembling a living crystal cluster in a constant state of collapse. Deep within this swiftly rising crystal mass, there was... an enormous energy reaction.

"Oh no!" Yu Sheng’s face changed the instant he sensed the energy reaction. Without a second thought, he opened a door leading back to the center of the forest, leaving Erin with just one phrase before rushing through, "I’ll go shut down its air defenses!"

Before Erin could react, Yu Sheng’s figure had already vanished, leaving her staring blankly in the direction where the door disappeared: "...Huh?"

Then she felt a sudden tug at her collar, as Luna bent down beside her and casually picked her up.

The little puppet exclaimed in surprise, "Hey C-type buckle, what are you doing suddenly picking me up —"

Luna seemed not to hear, grabbing Erin and running even further away from the crystal jungle: "High energy reaction, need further retreat."

And so Erin was whisked away by Luna, exclaiming all the way.

Yu Sheng returned to the center of the crystal jungle.

He looked up to see the massive crystal mass at the center of the jungle had risen as tall as a mountain, with intense streams of light filling its "body."

In the sky, a bright spot was rapidly expanding, concentric fiery rings rippling and spreading across the atmosphere, burning, and unleashing an even denser suppressive barrage.

"The blood calamity over here really is..."

Yu Sheng shook his head ruefully, glancing in the direction of Erin and Luna, then fell straight back.

Before his body hit the ground, it began to disintegrate, scattering into swirling ashes drifting among the innumerable crystal "giant trees."

The next second, the entire crystal jungle fell into a deathly silence — all the accumulated energy was temporarily suppressed, all activities of the crystal branches forcibly halted, and a certain "cycle" deep within the earth once again forcibly confined, leaving the crystal jungle powerless to resist.

Though it lasted only a brief moment, it was enough for a sky-based fox bomb from near-Earth orbit to smash onto the crystal mountain.

The descending Nine-Tailed Fox crashed down heavily, the highly compressed fox fire instantly released — at first, the world was silent for less than a second, as if even the molecules in the air were momentarily frozen in place, stopping their vibration. Then, a fireball brighter than the sun began to expand from the center of the crater at what seemed like a slow speed.

The sky was illuminated, even the entire plain was lit up, a glaring daylight briefly appearing on this desolate planet far from the sun. After a while, Erin, who had been carried far away by Luna, heard the rumbling thunder-like roar coming from behind.

She even felt her whole body trembling along with the rolling thunder.

"Yu Sheng is down again..."

The little puppet shaded her eyes with her hand, mumbling towards the direction of the crater — by now, the intense light was rapidly diminishing, reaching a level where it could be looked at.

But soon she shook her head: "Or maybe it’s very hot, could be several million degrees."

Luna casually dropped Erin to the ground.

Erin: "C-type buckle!!"

...

Yu Sheng felt groggy, the sudden cessation of consciousness from his abrupt demise took him a few minutes to recall why he was in this darkness, and the last scene he saw before entering this darkness.

He only remembered the fox head engulfed in flames charging down — it was a move akin to a diving headbutt from the sky.

"That silly girl nailed me with a headbutt again."

He muttered somewhat helplessly in the darkness.

But this time, instead of waiting slowly for the resurrection timer in the chaotic darkness as usual, he directly transferred his consciousness to the Otherworld Inn, which could serve as a temporary vessel from his posthumous world.

He needed to quickly ascertain Hu Li’s current condition and determine whether that crystal jungle had indeed gone "quiet" as planned after the strike.

The core module of the Otherworld Inn, currently docked at the High Orbit of Shuji, suddenly lit up, the main system waking promptly from its dormant state.

"Erin."

Erin, who was hurriedly on her way back with Luna, heard the call from within her mind, startled: "Yu Sheng?! You’re not dead? Or did you revive again? This time so quickly?!"

"I’m dead — my body will take a while to regenerate. Right now, I’m speaking to you through the Otherworld Inn," Yu Sheng said casually, "Where are you and Luna now?"

"We’re running back right now, didn’t Hu Li say someone needs to help after using that move," Erin was once again shamelessly clinging onto Luna (mainly because her short legs just couldn’t run fast), "I’m telling you, that was spectacular just now..."

"Of course, I saw it clearer than you did," Yu Sheng quickly said, "What’s the state of that Crystal Jungle now? Is it still active?"

"Crystal Jungle? There’s no Crystal Jungle anymore!" Erin looked up at the distance and responded in her mind, "Just a steaming big pit—oh, I can see Hu Li, he’s stuck in the pit."

Yu Sheng: "...?"

The next second, he received a real-time feed directly transmitted to the Otherworld Inn from Luna via the internal channel of the Artificial Saintess.

The Nine-Tailed Fox stood on the ground.

Head down.

With Luna’s astonishing speed, she and Erin returned to the center area of the impact crater almost immediately—by this time, the Crystal Jungle that originally covered the entire ring mountain had long been wiped out.

A large amount of fragmented and inactive residue material piled up in the center area of the ring mountain, with heat waves radiating from the surface, dust swirling in the weak pale sunlight, forming an apocalyptic scene.

Erin looked up, seeing the massive Nine-Tailed Silver Fox poking head-down into the ground, with four legs and a bunch of tails exposed, twitching occasionally with the wind.

She finally understood what Hu Li meant by needing someone to help him get out of trouble.

At this moment, she deeply regretted not shamelessly asking Yu Sheng for a phone—even a little genius kids phone would do, as long as it could take pictures...

Then the little puppet jumped off from Luna, carefully avoiding the various sizes of debris on the ground while coming to Hu Li’s side, and poked the soft fur on the Silver Fox’s back: "Hey, silly fox, still alive?"

The Nine-Tailed Fox, whose head was buried in the ground, instantly shook its body, the four legs kicking wildly outside.

"Need help?" Erin asked again.

"Duh!" Hu Li’s muffled voice came from underground, "I’m out of strength! Quickly help dig me out!"

"Can’t you just turn back into human form and come out?"

"I already said I don’t have the strength! Shape-shifting consumes mana!" Hu Li’s four legs kicked wildly in the air again, "Don’t mess around, hurry and call your batch-produced puppets over to help!"

"Alright, alright," Erin immediately laughed, agreeing as she retreated a few steps while chuckling, "Just wait a moment, Yu Sheng made you bury your head, now I have to figure out a way to summon the batch-produced units from the valley—I haven’t tried it before... Oh right, first have them fetch some small shovels..."

Hu Li’s two hind legs kicked twice again, and he sighed helplessly into the soil and rocks, staying still to conserve energy.

A rumbling sound came from her stomach.

Moments later, Erin finally succeeded in her first independent summoning, calling the first batch of batch-produced puppets from the valley to the vicinity.

These were the batch-produced puppets that had returned to the valley due to insufficient power during the earlier battle—although the remaining energy wasn’t enough to support combat, they still retained their mobility.

A large group of 66.6 cm tall little puppets, holding small shovels and hoes they found from who knows where (they even looked like they had been stolen from the dolls’ horticulture class), quickly gathered around Hu Li. After a brief exchange, they started digging enthusiastically.

In the faraway desolate Alien Planet, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, having just completed a sky-based bombardment, was stuck head-first in the ground, and a group of Gothic Dolls holding gardening shovels was actively digging out their teammate amidst the crystal debris—

Even Erin felt this might be a bit too surreal, and she whispered to Luna: "C-clamp, I’m telling you, this scene is really abstract..."

Luna thought for a moment, then nodded: "Hmm, indeed."

But honestly, although the little puppets were digging eagerly, their work efficiency was rather subtle.

By the time Yu Sheng was resurrected, they were still digging here.

Watching Erin organize the batch-produced puppets to dig out Hu Li, he was also struck speechless for a long time, eventually shaking his head with a mix of laughter and helplessness: "How long do you intend to let them dig?"

"Well, what can I do," Erin shrugged, "You have no idea how hard the ground around here is, the silly fox’s head is stuck in a bunch of rocks—I even suspect he ’cast’ himself in..."

Yu Sheng’s eye twitched, turning around to look up at the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox stuck in the ground.

Hu Li kicked her legs, and a thunderous rumble came from her stomach.

"Savior, I’m hungry."

Yu Sheng: "..."

After two seconds of silence, Yu Sheng sighed and reached for his phone.

He had a contact saved, whose owner claimed to take on any engineering projects—from building a toilet in the city center to dropping an orbital defense fortress on an Alien Planet.

"This matter needs to be handed over to our almighty Sun."
