Chapter 715: Chapter 389 Messages from the Gods_3
Due to his colleague’s somewhat inscrutable expression at the time, combined with the absurdity of talks of gods,
the middle-aged man had not taken it to heart.
Until this moment,
he finally understood what the other party meant.
It turned out…gods really did exist.
————
Five minutes later.
[Done]
Having dealt with the giant octopus, Chen Sheng had once again returned to Wutong Village.
After sending a message to Li Wuji, he went straight back to his home on the third floor, preparing to meditate for a while during the idle afternoon.
Situations like the one just now,
had occurred four or five times in the course of one month.
Although the Special Affairs Bureau had issued a gag order on those who had seen Chen Sheng, due to his desire to keep his identity concealed,
as the incidents increased,
tale of the gods began to quietly spread.
This was not a good phenomenon.
At least, that was how Chen Sheng saw it.
Blindly entrusting one’s own safety to so-called faith only made people weak in desperate times.
That was not his purpose in rescuing them.
Nor was it his original intention in helping the world to upgrade.
Otherwise, Chen Sheng could have simply wandered around the world, defeating powerful alien beast lords everywhere, and there would be no such thing as an alien beast crisis.
Appropriate crises and pressures
were necessary to push humanity towards an era where everyone could be as powerful as dragons.
As for sacrifices?
To be honest,
Chen Sheng didn’t have one hundred percent confidence that he could always protect this world.
Perhaps he too might face powerful enemies and grow weary from splitting his attention or even worse scenarios.
At that time,
if the humans on Blue Star had not become strong enough to protect themselves,
then the sacrifices they would have to face would be a thousand times, a million times more than now.
With this in mind,
Chen Sheng went to the balcony.
Just as he was preparing to sit down cross-legged.
Hum——
Just at this moment,
an intangible fluctuation dispersed.
Standing on the balcony,
Chen Sheng once again took out an object from his chest.
It was the Identity Token that Joy had given him before leaving.
Holding this token signified that Chen Sheng had officially become a member of the Practitioner faction.
Normally,
they would use this token to convene meetings regularly, sharing information they had each obtained.
When a member needed help, they could also send out a call for assistance through this token.
However…..
Today was not the day scheduled for a meeting.
But at this moment,
the previously dim token was emitting a faint glow.
It seemed to be beckoning to Chen Sheng.
Was someone seeking help, or had some other situation arisen?
Chen Sheng decided to go take a look first.
With that thought,
he sat down cross-legged on the balcony and sent his soul directly into the token.
The next second,
the scenery around him sped past in a blur.
Chen Sheng’s soul seemed to be riding on a high-speed train, heading towards an unknown destination.
After about a dozen seconds,
the feeling of weightlessness swiftly faded.
When the surroundings stabilized once more, Chen Sheng looked around.
What met his eyes
were swirling black mists,
and a long table rising above the black mist.
A few chairs were positioned on either side of the long table.
On the back of each chair was engraved a different pattern.
There was a clown with thickly applied makeup juggling a planet amidst applause.
A woman in a long dress stood with her arms high, with endless creatures crawling before her.
There was also an extremely languid man lying across the universe, with everything around him gradually turning into void.
This was not Chen Sheng’s first visit to this place.
It wasn’t the first time he’d seen these patterns.
“Just you?”
Chen Sheng talked to himself as he walked towards his spot.
As for the audience,
it was naturally the happily sprawling figure not far away.
“Everyone else is a busy person.”
“It’s just the two of us.”
“One should be slipping away, and one a retired old man.”
“Of course, we should check in on each other from time to time.”
In the midst of speaking,
the figure of Joy had already appeared beside Chen Sheng.
He pointed to himself, then at Chen Sheng.
The greasepaint on his face twisted into an exaggerated arc.
He certainly looked the part of “we are good partners.”
“Get to the point if there’s something to say, leave if there’s not.”
Seeing that there were not many others around, Joy continued to be casually idiosyncratic.
Chen Sheng was about to leave.
“Don’t go, bro.”
“I might have nothing, but you’ve got something going on.”
Joy grabbed hold of him and gestured for him to sit down.
“Hmm?”
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows.
What could he possibly have to worry about?
He hadn’t left Blue Star at all in the past three months.
Thanks to the traits of the Pocket Universe, even if the Resistance Army or subordinates wanted to find him, it probably wouldn’t be easy.
Unless it was a high-level enemy preparing to target him.
But the key point was,
if an enemy of that caliber made a move,
he probably wouldn’t wait for Joy to inform him before he’d already be dead, right?
As Chen Sheng puzzled over this,
“Do you know?”
“Right now, across the whole universe, most of the Breakthrough Limit are searching for you and the whereabouts of your world.”
Joy directly provided the answer.
“Looking for me?”
“What do they want with me?”
Chen Sheng’s brow furrowed.
“The message of the Practitioner, in the past, was known only by a few and mostly by Universe Level Powerhouses.”
“But from some time ago…”
“The information about the Practitioner, your information, began to spread throughout the universe.”
“What’s more critical is that, along with the information, a magic spell, specifically designed to take the Fire Seed Law from the Practitioners, also spread.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng’s face showed understanding.
“You’re saying,”
“those people want to find me, a newly born Practitioner, take the Fire Seed Law from within me, and with it gain the capability to counter the Supreme Demon.”
“Correct answer,”
Joy sat back down on his chair, nodding slightly.
“So, I’ve come here to warn you.”
With that,
he stared intently at Chen Sheng.
But contrary to Joy’s expectation,
Chen Sheng showed neither fear nor any other change in expression.
As if he had no awareness of the seriousness of the situation.
“Hey, hey, hey, your reaction is way too calm.”
Joy waved his hands repeatedly, trying to draw Chen Sheng’s attention.
“Although the Pocket Universe is highly secretive,”
“there are countless capable individuals above the universe. With so many looking for you,”
“it’s not impossible that someone might find you.”
“By then, if you encounter a Universe Level Powerhouse—”
“Doesn’t matter.”
Joy was cut off in mid-speech.
by Chen Sheng’s blunt interruption.
“Anyway, with so many people looking for me,”
“whatever I do would only increase the risk of exposing myself.”
“I’ll just stay in my world.”
He looked at Joy.
His gaze was as tranquil as water.
“Whoever comes,”
“dies.”
