Chapter 679: Chapter 375: Heading to the Spiritual Martial World

“What’s the matter?”

The movement that was meant to close the communicator stopped abruptly.

Lu Yang seemed to have a premonition.

As the newly appointed Branch Chief of the Resistance Army,

he had only ordered two things from his subordinates.

The first of which,

was the arrangement against the Spiritual Martial King.

First, under the guise of the Resistance Army, they invited the other party to a negotiation to find an opportunity to determine the location of the Pocket Universe.

Order the action team members of the branch to disguise themselves as subordinates, infiltrate the Spiritual Martial World and kidnap the Spiritual Martial King’s grandson.

Then, representatives of the Resistance Army would express their apologies to the Spiritual Martial King, stating that they were being pursued by the subordinate commander Ligel, and propose an alliance with the premise of helping to rescue the king’s kin.

As a result,

they would successfully bring the Spiritual Martial King onto the Resistance Army’s warship.

Was this plan ingenious?

Not really.

It could even be considered foolish.

If the Spiritual Martial King was not stupid,

he would likely suspect the Resistance Army’s involvement in his kin’s kidnapping.

But why did Lu Yang still proceed with it?

Because he was certain the Spiritual Martial King would not dare to gamble on the off chance the Resistance Army was not behind the plan.

To pinpoint a world’s coordinates by subordinates,

besides using the Divine Statue for advance positioning,

one could also track through the aura of native intelligent beings.

If there were even a slight possibility that subordinates had orchestrated the incident,

the Spiritual Martial King would find himself in a dilemma.

To send someone to rescue his grandson?

Apart from the Spiritual Martial King himself, no one in the Spiritual Martial World had the strength to do so.

If the king went himself, it would lead to direct conflict with the subordinates, and he could no longer maintain his previously transcendent status.

Not going to rescue,

then his grandson could become the anchor point for the subordinates’ positioning.

From that point onwards, no matter where he went, the subordinates could quickly locate him.

What about asking friends for help?

Lu Yang was quite certain no one would dare to stick their neck out.

Neither the Resistance Army nor the subordinates

Were entities these scattered individual powers could afford to offend.

Therefore,

this scheme could be called a blatant stratagem.

Whether or not the Spiritual Martial King guessed the truth,

to avoid the worst-case scenario,

the only way out would be to sign a binding alliance treaty with the Resistance Army.

Apart from this,

since becoming the Branch Chief of the Resistance Army, Lu Yang had issued one other order.

That was regarding the movements of Chen Sheng’s world.

Even though Lu Yang, by refusing Chen Sheng’s approach and attracting the attention of the Left Wei, had successfully climbed up the management ladder,

he,

had never forgotten that world.

Was it worry, or was it guilt?

Lu Yang was somewhat uncertain.

Because he could feel,

within the depths of his heart, there lingered a different kind of emotion.

“About that world you had us keep an eye on previously,”

Sure enough.

The matter spoken of by his subordinate inside the communicator was about Chen Sheng.

“Not long ago, we detected fluctuations of the subordinates’ aura in that world.”

“But just now, after another observation, we found that the aura of that world… no longer exists.”

Nonexistent?

Lu Yang’s expression changed.

Chen Sheng… in the end, were you unable to stop the subordinates, to protect your own world?

“Before the world’s aura disappeared, was there any detection of someone leaving?”

“No.”

Receiving an affirmative reply, Lu Yang nodded slightly.

“Alright, no need to pay further attention to that matter.”

“Yes.”

The communicator was disconnected.

Lu Yang looked up into outer space.

An inexplicable emotion surfaced on his face.

It was unclear whether it was sorrow or something else.

For some reason,

upon learning of Chen Sheng’s death and the destruction of his world,

Lu Yang felt a sense of relief.

He sat back down in his lounger.

His expression was somewhat dazed.

After a long while,

“Heh.”

He smirked, letting out an enigmatic chuckle.

“It’s good that he’s dead.”

“Death… is also good.”

Chen Sheng,

what a talented person you were.

Perhaps in the eyes of the three leaders, the other party was not worth mentioning.

But for a long time,

Lu Yang had always had a premonition, coming from nowhere, that he might regret his decision from back then.

But now… well,

everything seems to have settled into dust.

Chen Sheng and his world,

had completely turned to dust, buried in the river of time.

He,

should also buck up and stride forward.

Lying back down,

he put on his sunglasses.

“Whew—”

Lu Yang let out a long sigh.

The sun hanging high in the sky was exuding a fiery glow.

Showering over his body,

he felt unusually relaxed.

——————

In Fuhai Province,

Quanjiang City, Wutong Village.

Chen Sheng, about to embark on a journey, didn’t need to, nor did he bring any luggage with him.

He simply put on ordinary clothes and walked out of his home.

“Come back early!!”

Arriving downstairs,

he looked back.

On the balcony of the third floor, a cactus was waving its arm.

His lips curled into a smile.

Chen Sheng grinned.

Knowing someone was waiting for him to come home,

therefore, he had something to look forward to.

But Chen Sheng did not dislike it,

because no matter how far he ran, no matter how vast the worlds he saw,

this attachment,

was where home was.

“Alright,”

“wait for my return.”

He too waved his arms a couple of times.

His voice was lost in the sound of the wind.

And along with it dissipated,

was his figure.

The scenery by his side passed by like a speeding carousel.

In the blink of an eye,

darkness had descended.

He was amidst the stars,

feeling the sun’s scorching rays up close.

Chen Sheng felt an all-encompassing warmth.

“This is far enough.”

As he whispered to himself,

he clenched his hand as if grasping the air before him.

Even without Joy telling him, Chen Sheng knew how to leave this universe.

As a being who had surpassed the limits of the world and undergone a transcendence of life’s essence,

Chen Sheng’s naked eyes could see the invisible spaces, and the barrier enveloping the world.
