Chapter 367: Future Savior

~8 min read 1,430 words

"Huh? That's not right!"

The large mouth paused, manifesting a complete face, furrowing its brows, and looking around in some confusion, before suddenly bursting into laughter.

"So that's how it is; no wonder blood-food appeared."

"So I've run out!"

"Hehe, this is definitely a complete World, and it definitely contains plenty of blood-food; this is my opportunity!"

The face laughed wildly.

However, just as it wanted to take action, it suddenly stopped and muttered to itself, "No, no, I must first scout what this World has to avoid capsizing in a gutter."

"Let me think, let me think..."

Then, the eyes of this face glowed, piercing through the Void of this place, seeing some small worlds hanging on the periphery of the Present World; within these small worlds were those hidden forces.

"Got it. First, record the coordinates, then control the natives of these worlds to help me scout and see what dangers exist. This kind of thing must be done by bullying the weak and fearing the strong; I cannot be careless."

As the face spoke, it laughed eerily, and immediately, invisible ripples spread out, submerging into those small worlds and directly controlling those hidden forces.

Afterward, this face returned to the True Realm Rift.

Li Heng watched all of this silently.

This was merely a phantom of history that had already occurred, so he could not intervene, and intervention would be meaningless unless he could expend a great price to truly reverse time and space.

But was it really like this?

A sudden disaster, being targeted by something?

Perhaps it wasn't a disaster; there was a certain reason for it.

After all, that Immortal God figure had said before that the Xianshi Tiandi had drifted to the downstream of this river of Great Void and could encounter many strange things.

Moreover, the Present World is currently constantly deteriorating, corrupting, and deforming.

It is also easy to attract these kinds of strange things.

Now it seems this face with the gaping mouth is somewhat rational; although its whole body radiates a Weird aura incompatible with order, it is still much better than a pure monster.

Li Heng fell into deep thought.

The situation now is very clear.

This True Realm Rift, like the one in the Yin World before, has also popped out strange things.

The difference is that what popped out from the Yin World side was a lost soul from the Present World, that Dao Lord of Dragon Tiger Mountain. But from the Present World side, this face mask popped out; its origin and background are unknown, and it is even stranger.

And this face seems very cautious.

Even possessing the strength to crush the Present World, it still chose to control some hidden forces that had not yet entered the world to help it scout the situation of the Present World. After doing this, it even ran straight back into the True Realm Rift, not giving Li Heng a chance to strike at the heart of the matter at all.

In that case, it is a bit troublesome.

Because the hidden forces controlled by the face have now all been slaughtered, and this situation might have already been sensed by the face, making it aware of the dangers of the Present World.

In this way.

Whether the face will invade the Present World is up for debate.

Because that face seems to already know the coordinates of the Xianshi Tiandi; if it doesn't appear and invade the Xianshi Tiandi for a day, it is a ticking time bomb hidden in the dark, which is very troublesome.

Moreover, he is also very curious about that face; if he could capture it alive, perhaps he could learn some information about the True Realm Rift from its mouth.

After all, it is a rare, strange thing that possesses reason.

Li Heng pondered for a moment and decided to let his own divine-path avatar, the Emperor Lord of the Netherworld, block this place and wait for his true self to return before dealing with it, to avoid the situation where he goes to block the enemy's spawn point only to have his own home stolen.

This True Realm Rift is truly dangerous, and the True Realm in its depths is a perilous place that only those in the Void Dao Realm are qualified to enter; it is better to wait until he returns from the Desperate Future and improves his strength a bit before talking.

Having set the plan, Li Heng's mind returned to his true body.

At this time, the King of Xilie and Xiao Hao saw Li Heng standing there without speaking and were somewhat confused, not knowing what he was doing. But for various reasons, they dared not speak or ask.

Consequently, the two of them also braced themselves and stood where they were.

Until Li Heng spoke slowly.

"I have a general understanding of the matter here."

The King of Xilie let out a long sigh of relief in his heart; he had finally spoken.

He spoke respectfully.

"May I ask, Senior, is there any hidden story within?"

Li Heng glanced at the King of Xilie and spoke calmly.

"There naturally is, but you cannot inquire about it; just act as if this matter does not exist."

After saying this, he looked at this reborn person, Xiao Hao.

To tell the truth, Li Heng had never seen such an unlucky reborn person, easily seen through by others and having his background investigated.

By now, the identity of this Xiao Hao has likely been learned by many major forces, all of whom are trying to win him over or kill him. Winning him over is to obtain information about the future. Killing him is naturally because if I cannot have it, you shouldn't think of having it either.

"Xiao Hao, your situation is very dangerous right now; you are about to die."

"However, I want to give you a chance."

Xiao Hao looked blank upon hearing this.

He was about to die? How did he not know?

Could it be that his identity as a reborn person had been leaked?

"Unfilial son, nod quickly! It is your honor that the Senior is giving you a chance." Seeing Xiao Hao stunned again, the King of Xilie was angry at his lack of ambition and urged him hurriedly, even wanting to force Xiao Hao to nod.

Now that he could no longer rely on the Three Sages of the Future, seemingly because things had become very strained and he couldn't contact them at all, he could only turn to rely on Li Heng.

He is under great pressure now, having to bear pressure from many sides for Xiao Hao, but he cannot hold on for much longer. For example, not long ago, the ancestor of the Great Li imperial family came out of seclusion and debated the Dao with him.

But fortunately, the Great Li imperial family has ties to the aristocratic families; they suffered heavy losses in the previous catastrophe of the destruction of the families, and it was only after many powerhouses of the aristocratic family lineage died that they managed to barely cut themselves off from the ranks of the aristocratic families.

So he can now barely withstand the pressure from the imperial family.

But besides the Great Li imperial family, there are other forces.

He could not hold on much longer.

This was also the reason why he had been so angry before.

And even wanted to beat Xiao Hao to death right then and there to end it all.

"May I ask, Senior, what price must I pay?"

Xiao Hao was, after all, a smart man, so he hurriedly spoke.

"A price?" Li Heng's expression turned strange.

"Let me ask you, do you want to be a hero?"

No, I don't! Xiao Hao had originally wanted to answer like that.

But when he opened his mouth.

"I do, Senior! I have always wanted to be a hero!"

After saying this, Xiao Hao was stunned.

What was going on! How could he have said such stupid words?

Since ancient times, heroes have not lived long; wasn't being a hero just asking for death?

It was not until his gaze met Li Heng's half-smiling expression that his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the current situation did not seem to be his choice to make.

"Xiao Hao submits to your command, Senior."

He bowed to Li Heng.

Li Heng nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.

"That's more like it, future Savior."
