Chapter 1149: [Human Sovereign]
[Human Sovereign]
Late at night.
Chen Ling gently pushed open the room door.
The residences for Sun Bumian and the others had all been arranged properly. Except for Jiang Xiaohua who insisted on sleeping in the dirt, the other people's rooms were also not bad... At this time, the Integration Faction was already incomparably quiet, most students having entered dreamland.
Dim starlight occasionally shone through the clouds of the Gray World, sprinkling on the spacious balcony. Chen Ling didn't go to bed to sleep, but walked straight to the railing, looking blankly at the barren distance.
Who knows how long passed, he slowly took out that familiar USB Drive from his bosom.
Chen Ling originally thought that after he left the Dusk Society, the Lingbao should be recovered by the Red King. After all, this thing's significance to the Dusk Society was too great. But he didn't expect that after going around in circles, this thing would return to his hands...
To say that during this process, Eight of Spades didn't ask the Red King, Chen Ling wouldn't believe it. Since Eight of Spades could pass this thing on to Sun Bumian, letting the latter return it to himself, there must inevitably be the Red King's instructions.
"... What exactly are you thinking?" The Red King's back surfaced in Chen Ling's mind, muttering to himself.
He looked down at the USB Drive in his hand, his expression somewhat complicated.
He just stood like this on the balcony in the Gray World, pondering motionless like a sculpture... but finally, he still forcefully gripped the USB Drive in his hand.
No matter what the Red King was thinking, no matter whether Chen Ling cared about Reverse the Era or not, at least the USB Drive's effect was obvious. Walking along this path, Chen Ling hadn't lacked the help of the USB Drive's power. Whether it was the Lord of the Aurora Yang Xiao's goodwill towards him, Yao Qing's help to him, or the Lord of Tianshu Lu Xun's will paving the way for him in the Tianshu Domain, it had repeatedly saved him from deep water and scorching fire...
Although he still didn't quite understand the principles within, and also hadn't had a chance to match secret signals with Su Zhiwei, Chen Ling already believed that this USB Drive could really influence the past.
Since that was the case, he had to properly grasp this opportunity, using the power to influence the past to create more advantages for himself in this era.
Chen Ling believed that this was also the reason Ying Fu and the others intervened in that era.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling directly turned and went back to his room. First he wrote a "Do Not Disturb" sign and hung it on the door, ensuring he wouldn't be interrupted during this period of entering the Save Point. Then he pulled the curtains and sat cross-legged on the bed.
He took a deep breath, slowly inserting the USB Drive into the bedding beneath him.
In the next moment, lines of deep green characters floated out in the void:
[Number 129439]

Chen Ling's eyes slowly closed.
...
Tap——Tap——Tap...
Muffled footsteps echoed in the long corridor with a black metallic texture. Dim starlight sprinkled from the arched windows on the outside, several figures seeming to shuttle between light and shadow.
At this time, if one looked out from the window, they could find that this building was actually hovering in the air above the Gray World earth, like a giant moving castle, and was also slowly advancing along some predetermined route...
Who knows how long passed, these figures stopped their footsteps in front of a large door engraved full of mysterious Markings.
"Your Majesty, do you need us to go in with you?" Mo Lian asked respectfully.
"No." Ying Fu answered lightly. "Wait outside."
"Yes."
Ying Fu let go of A'Qian's palm, the latter obediently standing in place.
As that heavy door slowly opened, Ying Fu's figure stepped into it. Above the broad hall, a giant metallic throne was suspending in the air...
Directly below the throne, a figure draped in a black robe seemed to have already been waiting for him for a long time.
Six bright red Philosopher's Stones clustered at the center of his brows under the hood, emitting the faint light of Divine Nature. As he slowly took off the hat, a face as calm as an ancient well was exposed in the air. It was precisely the Lord of Wuji, Lou Yu.
"How is the progress?" Ying Fu asked calmly.
Lou Yu raised his hand, and a thing was gently tossed out by him. Ying Fu raised his hand to catch it, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
In his hand was a thumb-sized Metal Fragment, composed of some unknown material, emitting a faint blue light...
"As expected of the thing researched out by that guy... Even I could only barely replicate one." Lou Yu opened his palm. Another USB Drive lay quietly between his palms. The appearance was basically similar to the Lingbao in Chen Ling's hand, only slightly different in color,
"However, the two of us just happen to have enough..."
"Why is Ours different from yours?" Ying Fu frowned and asked.
"I'm not the Lord of Ruoshui, I can't make it exactly the same. But the genuine article and the Counterfeit are only slightly different in appearance, there's basically no difference in function." Lou Yu slowly spoke. "The only problem lies in that the Counterfeit cannot acquire energy from the recovered corpses of the Nine Monarchs like the other three genuine articles to extend the activity time in the Save Point... In other words, it can only be opened once a month, for 12 hours at a time, and cannot increase subsequently."
Ying Fu scrutinized the Counterfeit in his hand for a moment, and spoke again:
"Does it have a name?"
"The three genuine articles are named using three Heavenly Venerables from myths and legends, they are the peak of innate power, capable of cutting off the torrent of the era." Lou Yu paused for a moment. "This one I replicated doesn't belong to 'innate', it's a product of humans seizing the good fortune of heaven and earth... So, I named it [Human Sovereign]."
A glimmer flashed in Ying Fu's eyes. "[Human Sovereign]... actually quite fitting for Us."
"Since you and I have already formed an alliance, some things still have to be said upfront." Lou Yu's expression was incomparably serious,
"The Timeline Save File is cut off from the outside world. After you enter it, your connection with your 'Courtiers' in reality will all be cut off, and your Rank should also fall... After I go in, I have my own things to do. I can't act as a nanny for you, catching people to improve your strength. We can at most meet up at Shennongjia."
"You don't need to worry about this point."
Ying Fu slowly stepped forward, raising his palm. "Give Us your hand."
Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed between Lou Yu's brows, but he still raised his palm, shaking hands with Ying Fu... In the next moment, a weak electric light flowed on the back of the two people's hands, disappearing without a trace a moment later.
"[Emperor], doesn't only have subduing 'Courtiers' as one method, there is also 'Vertical and Horizontal Alliances'. Since we have officially formed an alliance, We can borrow one of your skills."
Saying this, Ying Fu raised his hand and pointed at the ground beneath his feet.
In the next moment, densely packed electric currents interwoven on the ground. A Golden Spear was Reshaped out from the ground, lightly grasped in his hand.
"We are the Emperor. No matter in which era, We can gather power in a short time..." Ying Fu's voice echoed. Two figures stood between light and shadow, their slender shadows extending to the end of the hall,
"See you in Shennongjia."
