1231 Shocking Bad News!
“Retreat!”

Finally, Supremacy Summer made the call. It was also very difficult to make this call.

“Retreat? Retreat to where?”

...

Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter looked at each other.

“Retreat to the Exquisite Chiliocosm. We will give up on the Dark Domain Chiliocosm!”

Supremacy Summer’s words made Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter’s eyes twitch. They stood up abruptly, their faces filled with disbelief.

“Supremacy Summer, what did you say? Retreat… Retreat to the Exquisite Chiliocosm? We’re giving up on the Dark Domain Chiliocosm just like that?”

Supremacy Summer glanced at the two Supremacies and closed his eyes. His tone was also filled with helplessness. He said in a low voice, “If we don’t give up on the Dark Domain Chiliocosm, what else can we do? Reinforcements from the Exquisite Realm can’t arrive in time. Emperor Mangshan has currently invited Emperor Yinshan to the Dark Domain Chiliocosm. The three of us have already fought with Emperor Mangshan and Emperor Yinshan, and were severely injured. Since we’re not their match, why are we still staying in the Dark Domain Chiliocosm? We can still leave the Dark Domain Chiliocosm safely while they can’t break the war fortress. Otherwise, our losses will be even heavier.”

Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter both fell silent.

Indeed, perhaps this was the best choice.

The three of them had all fought with Emperor Mangshan and Emperor Yinshan before, but the outcome was unforgettable. They had lost, and they had suffered a crushing defeat. They could only retreat to the war fortress.

Although Emperor Mangshan and Emperor Yinshan could not do anything to the war fortress for the time being, as time passed, who would know what they could come up with?

Moreover, while they hid in the war fortress, Emperor Mangshan and Emperor Yinshan were “blocking the door”. None of the Controllers dared to leave the war fortress. Then, what was the point of staying in the Dark Domain Chiliocosm?
Retreat might be the only way.

However, they were reluctant to accept it. Be it Supremacy Summer, Supremacy Autumn, or Supremacy Winter, none of them were willing to accept it. They were in a good situation, and originally thought that they could advance step by step and gradually occupy the Dark Domain Chiliocosm. Who would have thought that the reinforcements from the Exquisite Realm would not come at all? Who would have thought that Emperor Mangshan would invite Emperor Yinshan here, putting the Controllers of the Primordial Lodge in a difficult situation?

The only way now was to retreat.

“Don’t worry, we’re only retreating temporarily. One day, when our Primordial Lodge adjusts our plan, we can come back again!” Supremacy Summer said in a low voice.

With his order, he also informed all the Controller Supremacies. Moreover, he controlled the war fortress, and slowly retreated out of the Dark Domain Chiliocosm.

“They’re retreating?”

At this moment, Emperor Mangshan and Emperor Yinshan both looked at the war fortress that was slowly retreating out of the Dark Domain Chiliocosm. They exchanged looks with each other, feeling that it was a little surreal.

They did not expect the Four Seasons Supremacies to give up so quickly.

However, it was a good thing that the Primordial Lodge had retreated.

“Then let them retreat. In any case, we can’t do anything to the war fortress. However, we still have to see them really leave the Dark Domain Chiliocosm with our own eyes before we can be completely assured!”

Emperor Mangshan still felt a little uneasy, so he followed the war fortress all the way. He would only relax after seeing the war fortress leave the Dark Domain Chiliocosm with his own eyes.

As expected, in just a month, the war fortress had completely left the Dark Domain Chiliocosm. Emperor Mangshan stopped following it and returned to the Celestial Devil World without worries.

On the other hand, the Eleventh and Nineteenth Celestial Devil Kings were a little dissatisfied.

“The Primordial Lodge retreated, and that lad left with them. It’ll be difficult to capture him in the future.”

“Forget it. Some opportunities, once missed, would be gone. This lad got lucky.”

No matter how dissatisfied the Eleventh and Nineteenth Celestial Devil Kings were, there was nothing they could do. They could only watch helplessly as the war fortress left the Dark Domain Chiliocosm. After all, even Emperor Mangshan could not do anything to the war fortress. What could mere Celestial Devil Kings like them do?

In the war fortress, all the Controllers looked at the pitch-black Dark Domain Chiliocosm outside and sighed with emotion. Once upon a time, all of them were in high spirits and prepared to come to the Dark Domain Chiliocosm to search for opportunities.

But now?

They could only retreat in dejection. This was a failure. Ever since the Primordial Lodge established a battlefield in this small chiliocosm, they had never encountered such a huge failure.

Some Controller Supremacies even vaguely criticized Supremacies Summer, Autumn and Winter. After all, the Dark Domain Chiliocosm battlefield was led by the three Four Seasons Supremacies. Now that the Primordial Lodge had retreated, the three of them could not absolve themselves from the blame.

Lin Feng also looked at the Dark Domain Chiliocosm outside. He did not know why the three Supremacies had given the order to retreat, but he believed that the three Supremacies must be very unwilling to do so as well. However, no matter how unwilling they were, they still retreated. This meant that the Primordial Lodge’s strength was indeed insufficient to conquer the Dark Domain Chiliocosm.

Time passed slowly. The war fortress quickly left the Dark Domain Chiliocosm and flew towards the Exquisite Chiliocosm.

However, halfway through their flight, Supremacy Summer received a shocking piece of grievous news.

“Supremacy Autumn, Supremacy Winter, I’m afraid we can’t return to the Exquisite Chiliocosm anymore.”

Supremacy Summer’s voice was actually trembling slightly.

“Huh? Supremacy Summer, what happened?”

Supremacies Autumn and Winter also had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

“Two esteemed One-star Supremacies—the One-star Supremacy deployed by the Primordial Main Lodge and Supremacy Spring—have already fallen!”

“What?”

“That can’t be possible. Those are two esteemed One-star Supremacies. How can they have fallen?”

“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible.”

For a moment, Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter could only hear buzzing. They could not believe this news at all.

Two One-star Supremacies had fallen?

This was simply an earth-shattering event. Even in the Primordial Lodge, it was incomparably shocking. A One-star Supremacy losing might be possible, but falling?

That was too unbelievable. Who could kill a One-star Supremacy, and two One-star Supremacies at that?

Supremacy Summer raised his head, and a trace of desolation appeared in his eyes. He shook his head and said, “I can’t believe it either, but the Main Lodge sent me a message through a special method just now. The fall of two One-star Supremacies is related to the new battlefield established by the Primordial Lodge. A Two-star Celestial Devil Emperor appeared on that new battlefield!”

“Two-star Celestial Devil Emperor?”

Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter both fell silent. A Two-star Celestial Devil Emperor was a terrifying entity comparable to a Two-star Supremacy. Even in the Main Lodge, they were considered top entities apart from the Chiliocosm Sovereigns, and were core members.

Such entities were rare even in the Primordial Lodge.

How could a Two-star Celestial Devil Emperor appear on a new battlefield?

“That Two-star Celestial Devil Emperor appeared suddenly and killed most of the Controller Supremacies in our Primordial Lodge. Even the two One-star Supremacies fell. Moreover, the Exquisite Chiliocosm was also conquered. The Main Lodge is also encountering some trouble at the moment, and are unable to reinforce us as a result. So…”

“So what? So we have been abandoned?”

Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter wore furious expressions.

That’s right, abandoned. Although such a thing was uncommon, it was not uncommon.

The Primordial Main Lodge seemed to have encountered trouble in the medium chiliocosm as well, and was no longer able to reinforce the battlefield in this small chiliocosm. In fact, Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter both understood that there were many experts deployed to the small chiliocosm by the Primordial Lodge, and this small chiliocosm was not the only battlefield.

With the deaths of two One-star Supremacies and the appearance of a Two-star Celestial Devil Emperor, the people in the Main Lodge were probably made to realize how great a price they had to pay to gain a foothold in this small chiliocosm again.

The Primordial Lodge was not willing to pay such a price!

Hence, they were abandoned by the Primordial Lodge.

“Yes. That’s what I meant. We’ve been abandoned. The Main Lodge asked us to find our own way out. Supremacies, let’s discuss what to do. There are still so many Controller Supremacies in the war fortress now.”

Supremacy Summer was also rather helpless. The Main Lodge had only informed him this, and did not provide him with any specific method at all. In fact, the Main Lodge had given up on all of them, including Supremacy Summer.

“What else can we do? The Main Lodge has already given up on us and asked us to find our own way out. There’s only one way, and that is… to disband!”

Supremacy Winter’s expression was dark. After he said the word “disband”, the three Supremacies fell into a brief silence. The atmosphere was very oppressive.

Who would have thought that so many changes would happen in such a short period of time?

“That’s right. Disband. This is the only way,” Supremacy Autumn also said with a weak smile.

Supremacy Summer glanced at Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter. He knew that this was indeed the only way. Or rather, as long as this news spread, they would no longer be able to command these Controllers at all.

Disbanding was the best choice.

“All right, then we can only disband. The Primordial Lodge has let them down. The three of us will announce this news ourselves and tell everyone the truth.”

Supremacy Summer heaved a long sigh, also feeling disheartened. Back then, he had led many Controllers of the Primordial Lodge into the Dark Domain Chiliocosm in high spirits. He had originally wanted to show his abilities and increase his strength, hoping that one day, he could become a One-star Supremacy.

Who would have thought that he would fall to his current state? However, there was nothing he could do. Supremacy Summer could not interfere with entities on the level of One-star Supremacies and Two-star Supremacies at all.

Hence, he led Supremacy Autumn and Supremacy Winter and gathered all the Controllers, preparing to announce the decision made by the three of them.
