Chapter 700: Chapter 383: Return and Impending Perils Part 2
Chen Sheng had no choice but to,
constantly pursue faster progress to become strong in the shortest amount of time.
Once the Pocket Universe was complete,
it would mean he no longer had any worries.
He could carry his home with him and explore the Endless Universe,
or remain in his own world, letting the universe the size of a marble drift in the turbulent flows of time or linger in a world not targeted by his subordinates.
The sky is high for the birds to soar, the sea is vast for the fish to swim.
He,
would no longer be bound.
And at present,
this opportunity was within reach.
How could Chen Sheng not be exhilarated?
“I know you are anxious in your heart.”
Observing the emotions welling up deep within Chen Sheng’s eyes,
the Spiritual Martial King couldn’t help but feel somewhat emotional.
He had come this far in a similar manner.
Without the backing of a force,
individual Breakthrough Limiters like them were walking on thin ice above the universe.
Luckily for him,
he had once encountered joy.
And Chen Sheng,
under the guidance of joy, met him.
Perhaps, in some sense, it could also be considered a form of inheritance.
“Now there’s only one last step.”
“It won’t take long, just a few hours to complete.”
“You may rest briefly with Lie Yan and the others, and I will inform you once it’s done.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng bowed and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you, Spiritual Martial King.”
Although it was a transaction,
Chen Sheng still maintained basic respect when facing someone far stronger than himself.
“However, the Spiritual Martial King must have reasons other than this matter to keep me here, don’t you think?”
As the topic concluded, Chen Sheng brought up his doubts.
If it were just about the Pocket Universe, the Spiritual Martial King could have simply mentioned it, so why did he specifically keep Chen Sheng back?
“Indeed,”
hearing this,
the Spiritual Martial King slowly nodded.
His smile gradually faded, turning serious.
The atmosphere within the Grand Hall thickened.
“Would you allow me to look at the corpse you brought back?”
“Don’t worry, I just want to explore its memories to see if I can find evidence of the Resistance Army bewitching my grandchild.”
“Nothing more, I won’t touch anything else.”
What the Spiritual Martial King referred to,
was the Huan Ling corpse Chen Sheng had carried all the way here, now lying at the entrance of the Grand Hall.
Because the soul of a Galaxy Level Powerhouse was quite tough to digest, attracting its memories and soul was by no means a short-term task.
Therefore,
Chen Sheng could only bring it back.
Now that the Spiritual Martial King had requested it, Chen Sheng wasn’t petty.
“No problem.”
As his words fell,
Chen Sheng sent a command to Xiao Hei.
And so,
outside the Grand Hall,
the guards in charge of watching the corpse witnessed a terrifying spectacle.
They saw the previously still and colossal corpse, lying like a small hill on the ground, suddenly begin to tremble.
Then,
it staggeringly stood up.
“A demon’s work!”
“Quickly—”
“It’s alright, let it come in.”
Just as the guard was about to call for backup, the voice of the Spiritual Martial King came from within the Grand Hall.
Astonished,
the guard quickly stepped aside.
They then saw the headless dog corpse walk into the Grand Hall.
Just like that,
time slowly passed.
After ten minutes,
inside the Grand Hall,
the Spiritual Martial King opened his eyes, his expression ice-cold.
“What a Resistance Army.
“They’ve done it so cleanly.”
With the Spiritual Martial King’s strength, reading memories didn’t require the gradual absorption like Xiao Hei’s.
However, upon his investigation, he found that the memories left in the Huan Ling were entirely devoid of any association with the Resistance Army.
It seemed as though an invisible force had wiped out all memories related to the Resistance Army at the moment of its death.
Simultaneously, no trace could be found on the body.
From beginning to end,
Chen Sheng stood aside, silently watching the Spiritual Martial King’s actions.
It was as if he suddenly thought of something and immediately closed his eyes, delving his consciousness into his mind.
In the dark space of consciousness,
memories flashed before Chen Sheng like a carousel.
Quickly,
they settled on the recent memory of when he had just slain Huan Ling.
In its dying moments, Huan Ling had used a glass sphere to call for help.
When Chen Sheng had crushed the sphere, he had seen Lu Yang’s image on it.
If this memory could be retrieved, it could also serve to check the Resistance Army.
Therefore,
Chen Sheng made this move.
