Chapter 886: When Do We Leave? Form a Party and Follow Instantly!?
What?!
The moment they heard that sentence, everyone briefly thought they were experiencing Illusion Hearing.
The campaign is easy to understand.
They have also dealt with the Old Era quite a bit.
But these two terms together… make one feel both unfamiliar and absurd, right?
"Did I hear that right?" Ximen Zhirou swallowed hard.
He instinctively licked his Mouth, asking, "Boss… you want to go to the Old Era?"
"Yes!" Su Yang nodded slightly.
"This…" Ximen Zhirou was instantly at a loss for words.
He knows Su Yang is strong.
After all, even someone as strong as Lin Jin easily dies at his hand.
But the top players of the Old Era are not gentle folk.
They not only have abundant experience, but also a ruthless ferocity that devours people without spitting out bones.
And Su Yang has always been a coveted being.
His choosing this, how does it differ from walking into a trap?
"Why, not daring?" Su Yang asked with a half‑smile.
"Why?" Luo Shuangshuang asked in a deep voice.
"I have always wanted to ascend the World Summit and overlook this world."
"I also want to get to the bottom of the truth behind the 'kidnapping'."
"Besides, there are other things I need to clarify."
"Finally…"
"I don't want to be bound by the Death Game for a lifetime, nor be imprisoned."
"I yearn for freedom!"
Each word of this speech struck everyone's hearts like a Bullet.
Ask who would willingly attach their Brain to a waist belt and live in constant anxiety?
If possible, who wouldn't wish to return to a simple, tranquil life?
Even with nothing, even being worthless.
Yet it is thousands of times better than imprisonment.
Only that…
"Too risky, this is even crazier than the Plunder Plan!" Ximen Zhirou said.
"The so‑called Plunder is merely a prelude; I need your strength," Su Yang said.
"What if I don't want to?" Ximen Zhirou furrowed his Brow.
"No coercion, entirely voluntary," Su Yang replied calmly.
"But that's unfair; you know the Dependents' lives are tied to the Ascend God Seed!" Ximen Zhirou's voice rose a few decibels.
It's easy to see he is panicking.
Just as his worry lies there.
If Su Yang makes a mistake when heading to the Old Era.
As a Dependent, his only outcome is Collective Punishment!
Unlike the New Era's gamble, losing still means being subjugated under others.
But at least his life can be spared.
"I'm not negotiating with you; I'm informing you," Su Yang's eyes changed slightly.
Ximen Zhirou and Su Yang locked eyes for a moment, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
He averted his gaze, speaking softly: "It's not that I lack courage; without a thorough plan, one inevitably hesitates."
His tone softened a few notches.
Su Yang walked to the Screen, rested his elbow on it, and said, "The plan is indeed not thorough enough."
"I also cannot guarantee the followers' safety."
"I cannot determine how many perils we will encounter in the future."
"Nor can I promise what kind of rewards we might obtain."
"In any case, just one phrase—Life and death are self‑responsibility!"
Ximen Zhirou felt Su Yang had already gone Crazy.
It doesn't seem like a mental issue.
Rather, being forced by the Old Era into a psychological barrier.
At this moment, the long‑silent Lin Yang suddenly turned and, without a word, entered the room.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
Seeing this, Ximen Zhirou furrowed his Brow.
However, that wasn't the end; Qin Weiyang also turned and left.
She pressed the elevator button and then went up to the Second Floor.
Su Yang stared at her silhouette until it vanished from his Sight.
Luo Shuangshuang lazily sprawled on the sofa, saying in a numb tone, "It seems they have all made their choices."
"Su Yang, it seems you have to fight alone."
Ximen Zhirou, seeing this, spoke: "You're clearly making your own people follow you to certain death!"
"Boss, I know my emotional intelligence isn't high, and my words are harsh."
"But if you persist, the final result will surely be a mass rebellion!"
"Those guys from the Old Era would love to skin you and pull out your tendons!"
"I know your goal is clear; the Golden Throne is truly tempting."
"But our foundation is too shallow; we're not yet qualified to contend with them."
"I think this matter should be considered carefully over the long term; it's better to wait until we're strong enough before making plans."
Su Yang's expression remained unchanged as he kept his gaze forward.
He lightly tapped the screen with his finger, the rhythm syncing with the second hand of the wall clock.
"Tap tap…"
Luo Shuangshuang sighed lightly, "Aren't you clear on what kind of person he is?"
"Even ten oxen can't pull back a decision that's already made."
Ximen Zhirou glanced at Su Yang's complexion and shook his head helplessly.
Both good words and bad words have already been said in full.
He has never denied Su Yang's excellence.
Since coming out of the Second Prison, his interactions with Su Yang have not been many.
Often, when discussing major decisions, Ximen Zhirou also maintains a tacit approval stance.
He rarely speaks.
But this time is different.
Su Yang bears the fate of all Dependents.
He ought to be responsible for the Dependents!
Indeed, Ximen Zhirou admits that it was Su Yang's choice that allowed him to survive.
But by now, it's no longer a result that he alone could smoothly cross the river.
Why are there Dependents?
Isn't it to gather everyone's strength so the team can grow and then annex to become stronger?
Take Yue Zhao as an example.
Even if he has great ability.
If there were no capable talents beneath him.
How could he pull Jiang Chengyu away?
And how could he use the Round Table Meeting to propose Cross-Era Matching?
Therefore, this world has long ceased to be a solo fight.
Cooperation and mutual benefit is the way!
"I think, Boss, you could seriously consider what I said, after all…"
Ximen Zhirou spoke a warning, but his words got stuck in his throat halfway.
Only then Lin Yang appeared in the living room, carrying a backpack packed to the brim.
He then tossed it onto the floor and asked, "When do we set off?"
"Hm?"
Ximen Zhirou and Luo Shuangshuang were suddenly stunned.
Su Yang stared into his eyes and gave a knowing smile.
"Not Lin Yang, you're crazy too?" Ximen Zhirou's eyes widened.
"Ding—"
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened.
Qin Weiyang stepped out.
Unlike Lin Yang, she only carried a small bag.
A quick glance shows it's filled with clothing.
Roughly… about three sets.
And they're all light short‑sleeve shirts and shorts.
Under Ximen Zhirou's surprised gaze, she glanced at the hiking pack on the ground and casually tossed the items onto the floor as well.
"Let's go!"
No extra chatter.
"No, you…" Ximen Zhirou suddenly felt an urge to slap himself.
Could he be dreaming?
How could the usually calm Qin Weiyang also have gone mad?!
Luo Shuangshuang sighed.
She seemed to understand.
Su Yang is still using the old routine.
Just like last time when she asked who chose Talent Reforge between her and Qin Weiyang.
On the surface, a discussion.
In fact, the choice had long been decided.
Ximen Zhirou, like a fool, earnestly and persistently tries to persuade.
In fact, Su Yang never liked him at all.
Even if he proactively asks for a partnership, Su Yang might still not agree.
"He got set up by him again…"
