Long Xing was the most influential man in the entire Black Yellow Great World.
In peopleâs eyes, he was the person who had deployed the Sovereign Spirit Project who had gained 500 extra years for all the races.
The Blood Race had invaded the Black Yellow Great World once every few thousand years. Compared to that, 500 years was not that much time.
However, taking the Blood Raceâs final goal into consideration, these 500 years had been crucial.
The Blood Race had deprived all races of the possibility of achieving the states of Venerable Sovereign and Divine King. Then they gave the Black Yellow Great World thousands of years to develop.
It was as if they were rearing a large herd of beasts in pens. When the beasts had grown to certain extent, they would be killed.
The key was in the timing.
If it was too early, the beasts were not nutritious enough.
If it was too late, the beasts would have grown into ferocious animals and they would fight back.
These 500 years had become an opportunity for the beasts, after a few thousand yearsâ development, to take the leap to grow ferocious.
The Sovereign Spirit Project was what had made it possible.
When people in various worlds had learned about the Sovereign Spirit Project, they were all amazed by Long Xingâs brilliant talent.
So far, no one had ever figured out the answers to two important questions, among others.
First, how did the Sovereign Spirits come into being?
Second, the Blood Race hadnât been able to conquer the Wall of the World in the Sacred Zone over the past 500 years. How had that been achieved?
Everyone was curious about the answers to these two questions, but no one knew them.
Because Long Xing never brought them up.
âHe doesnât know how these were achieved. How would he be able to tell people?â Jiang Chen realized this was the answer after learning about the situation.
Long Xing was only a chess piece in the plot that Jiang Chen had used to con the Blood Slaves.
In order to keep it a secret from the Blood Slaves, Long Xing wasnât told what Jiang Chen had been doing even when the Blood Race had really come.
But at the moment, the whole world admired Long Xing.
If Jiang Chen insisted that he didnât care, it would be a lie he told to himself.
âJiang Chen, please! Xuan Qing was caught by the Demons too!â
Seeing Jiang Chen lost in thought, Ye Qiu thought he wasnât going to help.
âWhat?â Jiang Chen came to himself. He was surprised that Xuan Qing had come to the Three Lower Realms as well.
âShe heard you were here, so she wanted to come here to fight with you,â said Ye Qiu.
Jiang Chen frowned. He had no special feelings for Xuan Qing.
He knew that it was impossible for her to have the blood of the Heavenly Bestowal Woman.
Heâd agreed because heâd needed her to open a way for him in the Demonic Abyss, and he didnât want the descendant of the Goddess of Empyrean to live such a hard life.
However, sheâd gotten into a dangerous situation because of him. That was something heâd never anticipated.
âWhat are you waiting for? Why havenât you gone to her rescue?â Jiang Chen asked anxiously.
The longer they waited, the more dangerous it would be for those who had been taken by the Demons.
âWe canât make the same mistake again. We canât enter the Alien Battlefield recklessly! The Demon Slayers Palace actually wants to form a dare-to-die team to probe into the Alien Battlefield,â said Ye Qiu.
Jiang Chen became emotional when he heard about this plan. He said, âItâs not gonna work. The Alien Battlefield is very big. The Demon Army can hide anywhere. Countless time and a great number of dare-to-die teams will be required to probe into it. And when you know everything about the lay of the land, itâll be too late to act.â
Ye Qiuâs plan had sounded reasonable. However, there was no right or wrong about plans on the battlefield. The only thing that mattered was results.
Sometimes, foolish plans could have a wonderful effect.
âThatâs why we need you.â
Ye Qiu seemed to finally see the light after learning of Jiang Chenâs opinion. He wondered why he and others had never thought about that.
âCall Venerable Sovereigns together and send them there. Thatâs the most effective way,â said Jiang Chen.
There had been dozens of Venerable Sovereigns in the current Great World.
âBut wonât that be more dangerous? What if we lose a Venerable Sovereign?â
Ye Qiu couldnât go on speaking because he couldnât even bear the thought of this.
âItâs not so easy for Venerable Sovereigns to die, especially when they are together. If they run into danger, weâll be able to probe the Demonsâ strength for real,â said Jiang Chen.
âOkay. Iâll tell them your opinion.â Since it was an emergency, Ye Qiu turned around to leave.
Not long after he left, a white-clothed woman came to see Jiang Chen. She was in a long silver skirt of the court style. Her pretty face looked worried.
âElder brother, Long Xing has found you.â
She was Lin Yuâer.
âI know. I was told just now that Long Xing wants to meet me,â Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.
Lin Yuâer was here to tip him off, but Ye Qiu had beat her to it.
âWhat? Elder brother, donât go!â Lin Yuâer said anxiously.
âYou think he knows about me?â
âIâm 100 percent sure. The Sovereign Spirit Palace collected your information a long time ago. And itâs the same name. Long Xing only needs a glance to know the truth,â said Lin Yuâer.
âThen why hasnât he come to kill me?â asked Jiang Chen.
Lin Yuâer didnât have an answer for that. She didnât look as if she could figure it out either.
âIf he knew it was me, shouldnât he have come to assassinate me? But he asked me to go to see him. Thatâs not usual.â
As well as he knew Long Xing, whether to kill him or not, he would show up at the earliest possible time. Unless Long Xing wasnât sure about his identity yet.
âHe must intend to use you,â Lin Yuâer said confidently.
âOh?â
âThe realization of the Sovereign Spirit Project and the Wall of the World, elder brother, how did you achieve them?â asked Lin Yuâer.
Jiang Chen frowned. His sworn younger sister had asked him a forbidden question that she shouldnât have asked.
Lin Yuâer seemed to realize it too. She added, âThis is what Long Xing wants. If he wants to lie to the whole world and claim he is the person who saved the Black Yellow Great World, he has to know the answers to those two questions.â
âThatâs true,â Jiang Chen nodded. He looked as if he was pondering something.
âElder brother, hide,â said Lin Yuâer.
âOh? Now?â Jiang Chen looked surprised.
âThe Heavenly Palace and the celestial palace arenât strong enough yet. Theyâll be walloped. Itâs too dangerous. Just leave it to the Three Great Forces and the other races.â
It would have to be the strong onesâ jobs to deal with such a dangerous situation.
Jiang Chen didnât intend to make a great effort to turn the tide and eliminate all the Demons. Heâd only wanted to try his best to do something.
âBut if even the selfish Three Great Forces were dealing with the Demons, how could he excuse himself from the disaster?â
âYou know me well,â said Jiang Chen.
âBut what are you gonna do about Long Xing?â Lin Yuâer looked very anxious.
âIâll go to meet him. What can I lose? After all, I donât even know what heâs thinking. Itâs absurd to worry too much about it. Take it easy. Iâll send a practicing body to see him.â
Lin Yuâer knew she wouldnât be able to talk Jiang Chen out of it when he had finished speaking.
If it was a practicing body that went to see Long Xing, it wouldnât matter so much, even though it was still dangerous, and heâd be able to probe Long Xingâs thoughts.
âSomeone is coming. I gotta go.â
Lin Yuâer sensed something. She turned into a beam and flew away at high speed.
Soon Ye Qiu came back again. He was very disturbed. âNo Venerable Sovereign is willing to do it. And they swore at me.â
âI really think you all might as well kill yourselves because of your stupidity. Fine. Iâll go to see Long Xing with you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFor real?!â
Ye Qiu was pleasantly surprised to know Jiang Chen was willing to help.
