Chapter 676 - 373: Assistance and Preparing to Set Off_2
He did not ask what to do if the Four Great Leaders of the Heavenly Beings’ subordinates took action.
Based on the combat power classification previously described by Joy.
They were Universe Level beings at the peak, capable of turning the physical universe to dust in an instant.
If such a powerful being personally made a move.
Chen Sheng could only consider himself unlucky.
At that time, not to mention this world.
Even he was not sure if he could survive.
Therefore,
Being able to prevent beings below the level of Commander from finding him was already enough for Chen Sheng.
“Fifteen days, that is the longest limit.”
In the face of the question,
Joy answered without hesitation.
“The World Consciousness is capable of self-correcting the trajectory of the universe’s operation.”
“My actions this time are equivalent to implanting abnormal code into your world, which is bound to be cleared as a bug sooner or later.”
“It is only because the World Consciousness of your universe is weaker that it can last fifteen days.”
“In other worlds, it probably wouldn’t last even three days.”
“You must obtain it within the time limit—”
The voice,
suddenly cut off at this point.
Chen Sheng looked down.
The Joy’s skull he was holding had somehow turned into a thick, colorful liquid that was continuously dripping.
In an extremely short time,
Threads had already covered every corner within Chen Sheng’s field of vision.
Too much strength was consumed, so the clone disintegrated on its own, huh?
As Chen Sheng guessed in his mind, he also noticed two other items that appeared on the ground.
A wooden token.
It was very primitive in style, completely unimaginable that it was left by a person from outside the universe.
Carvings adorned its surface.
A muscled man standing on the surface of a planet,
Under his feet lay a mountain peak made of endless piled-up corpses.
This is…
The moment Chen Sheng saw the carving, his eyebrows raised.
He inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
And at this moment,
as the token lit up,
Joy’s remaining voice played.
“Practitioners in the universe are exceedingly rare.”
“Even after my long search, I’ve only found a few.”
“The Practitioner’s road is fraught with hardships and obstacles, and now there lies an insurmountable Big Mountain.”
“As someone who is positive, kind, and good at socializing, my hope in bringing everyone together is so we can work in unison and help each other when faced with difficulties.”
“After all, it’s a matter of mutual benefit.”
Joy’s voice was rarely serious,
so much so that Chen Sheng was a bit unaccustomed to it.
“This token is tailor-made for you.”
“If you are willing to keep it, then it means you are willing to become one of us.”
“I will also use this token to send you messages when I need your help in the future.”
“But if you’re unwilling to join…wowowow, then just throw it away, I definitely won’t be sad wowowow.”
The words vanished along with the voice.
Chen Sheng stared at the token in his hand, silent for a moment.
He was an indifferent person,
but not ungrateful.
Joy had helped him this time, and if he had the chance and the strength in the future, he would naturally not skimp on returning the favor.
So,
after briefly pondering for a moment,
Chen Sheng did not destroy the wooden token.
He then turned his attention to the other item on the ground.
It was a glass bead.
Similar in size to an infant’s skull, like the return guidance previously given by Joy.
However,
compared to the return guidance Joy had given,
this glass bead’s color was much duller.
The aura surging inside it made Chen Sheng inexplicably feel somewhat familiar,
as if it were… like the everywhere-present threads from before.
“This is a return guidance for your world, intended to guide you back after you leave.”
“In theory, you do not need such a thing.”
“Because you yourself are from this world, naturally carrying the unique mark of this world.”
“But now that I have modified the appearance of your world, it means that once you leave, you will be unable to recognize the direction of this world just like the Heavenly Beings’ subordinates.”
“Therefore, I leave this for you.”
This return guidance also had a voice message left by Joy.
The other party’s considerations were quite thorough.
But what Chen Sheng was thinking about was another matter.
How did Joy manage to produce these two items right under his nose, and how did he leave his voice in them?
Although they had a lot of conversations,
Chen Sheng also learned quite a few things.
But regarding Joy’s origins and specific strength, Chen Sheng knew very little.
However, judging from various performances,
the other party’s strength was definitely not simple.
Modifying world laws.
If it really was as the other side said,
that was something only a being at the Universe Level could accomplish.
But Joy, with just a clone, and a battered one at that, was able to do it.
Could it be the real body was a Universe Level being?
Chen Sheng gazed at the wooden token in his hand.
In the end,
he put away both the wooden token and the glass bead.
With a leap,
Once again, he headed toward the distant planet.
Before departing on this journey,
Chen Sheng still had no idea what the road ahead held for him.
Just to be safe, he felt it was necessary to make some preparations before leaving.
——————
At the same time,
In some unknown world,
The Heavenly Beings’ King, wielding a long halberd, walked slowly forward.
Above his head,
Was a sky engulfed in crimson.
Beneath his feet,
Lay the earth, stained with fresh blood and paved with corpses.
In the distance before him,
Stood an elf in armor, with white hair and pointed ears.
The dried blood solidified on the surface of the battered armor.
Scars covered the exposed skin.
Behind the elf, the ruined city walls stood tall.
Above the city walls,
Cries and wails filled the air.
But every pair of eyes was fixed on the elf below, hopeful.
These elves had gathered together, waiting for their hero to defeat the enemy.
“We will never submit!”
Stomp!
A hoarse roar escaped the mouth.
The elf took a step forward, raising the giant sword in his hand.
An immense momentum erupted in an instant.
Even the red clouds in the sky were scattered at that moment.
Behind him,
Lay the hopes of countless common people.
The elven hero, bold and fearless, charged at the immense figure approaching leisurely.
“To death!!!”
However,
As the shadow slowly enveloped,
What awaited the elf,
Was only the cold gleam of the halberd as it slashed through the air and the indifferent gaze of the Heavenly Beings’ King as he looked down upon the ant.
Whoosh!
Blood blossomed like flowers.
The roar came to an abrupt end.
The bisected body crashed to the ground with a thud.
Joining the endless mound of corpses as a mere unremarkable member.
And with that one strike, the Heavenly Beings’ King thoroughly destroyed the city the elf had desperately protected.
As the thunderous blast erupted,
It was as though countless blades were falling.
The city that once teemed with life,
At that moment, was completely reduced to ruins.
Only the fresh blood flowing out from beneath the rubble proved the traces of life that once existed.
“This is the last one,”
“Ready to wrap this up.”
He turned his head toward his two companions behind him.
There,
Were his squad members.
The octopus head floated in midair,
In its hands, it grasped a green-skinned elf, while its chin’s tentacles covered the latter’s face.
Amidst the endless screams,
A look of pleasure appeared on the face of the octopus head.
Its true name was Asgard.
A member of the Heart-devouring Demon race, possessing auxiliary abilities such as teleportation, mind transmission, and psychic control.
The other,
Was a man named Fu Qiu from the Nangong family, the first person the Heavenly Beings’ King met upon awakening on Apocalypse Star, wielding the Law of Severing, with formidable strength.
He lay lazily atop a mound of corpses, yawning, while toying with a skull in his hands,
As though it was not the remains of life,
But a casually picked-up toy.
These two,
Were the current squad members of the Heavenly Beings’ King.
Although he could recruit ten,
The Heavenly Beings’ King had no regard for the weak,
So he let eight positions remain vacant for the time being.
“Understood.”
Hearing what the Heavenly Beings’ King said,
Fu Qiu raised his hand, replying languidly.
As his words fell,
He brought his two fingers together, casually slashing through the air.
The space,
Cracked accordingly.
A dark passage appeared before them.
“I’ll be right back.”
Casting the skull aside,
Fu Qiu stepped into the rift, his figure vanishing.
While his companion gathered Origin Power,
The Heavenly Beings’ King opened the communicator from Apocalypse Star, curious to see if there was any message from Ash Annihilation.
Indeed,
There was!
Looking at the unread messages that popped up, a smile crossed the Heavenly Beings’ King’s face.
His previous indifference was gone.
At this moment, he was more excited than he had ever been before.
Chen Sheng had finally died?
