Chapter 1013: The God Lord Appears

"This... I still have other matters to attend to." Chen Yu nodded.

"We've only just met so briefly, and now we have to part? In that case, I almost wish there were more enemies." Bai Muyu sighed.

"You really don't mind how tired I am, do you?" Chen Yu said, between laughter and tears: "Let's go back; the people in the scenic area are probably going crazy."

"We can go back, but you have to stay and keep me company for a day. We agreed on this mission; you can't just leave after half a day," Bai Muyu said.

"Fine, I won't leave today; I'll stay with you for the day." Chen Yu had no choice but to nod.

At night, in a secret underground base on the outskirts of Shengjing, Tang Xue appeared.

She was on a video call. The person on the other side was an old man wearing a white lab coat and a mask. In front of the old man lay a corpse, which had been dissected into pieces.

His hands kept cutting at the corpse's skin. He examined every piece of skin he cut off in detail; he seemed to be trying to find some secret within it.

Tang Xue sat motionless before the screen. Seeing the bloody scene on the other side through the high-definition feed, her stomach felt somewhat uneasy.

"Wrong, wrong... it's wrong, it's ultimately still wrong." The old man looked at a piece of muscle tissue in his hand, muttering to himself, then shook his head and tossed the item to the side.

"Record this: Experimental Subject No. 33 failed. Body decay, subcutaneous tissue necrosis..." the old man said, looking up.

This old man was the God Lord. After he finished speaking, he had people carry the corpse out of the laboratory. Only then did he remove his gloves, and while disinfecting his hands, he said: "You said White Robe is dead?"

"Yes... White Robe is dead." Tang Xue nodded.

"His strength is very high, and he had the ancient Holy Artifact Scorching Mark to bolster him. Unless the opponent is a Dao Entering Practitioner, it would be impossible to injure him. Could it be... that Chen Yu has already reached the Entering the Dao Realm?" the old man said to himself.

"Yes, he is already in the Entering the Dao Realm. Before White Robe died, he said that Chen Yu's speed of advancement is very fast," Tang Xue said.

"Dharma Cultivation is truly a miraculous thing. Some people cultivate for a lifetime and have only just stepped over the threshold, while others, having just grasped the Heavenly Dao, can advance rapidly. Therefore, in this world, there is no such thing as fairness," the God Lord said.

"What should we do next?" Tang Xue asked.

"All my people are working hard to create a new world. I need a massive amount of manpower, financial resources, and materials. The remaining Eight Underworld Envoys all have their own missions, so the Huaxia side can only be left to you," the God Lord said: "I will bestow resources and abilities upon you, but you must not fail my expectations."

"I will not fail the God Lord's expectations." Tang Xue's expression turned joyful.

"That is good." The God Lord smiled slightly.

"What is it that I need to do?" Tang Xue asked.

"What you need to do is use every possible means to bring Chen Yu to me. But he is becoming increasingly difficult to control now. You must remember, if he truly breaks free from control, then kill him, lest he disrupt my grand plan," the God Lord said leisurely.

"Kill him?" Tang Xue almost doubted she had heard correctly: "But he is your grandson."

"Heh, of course I know that," the God Lord smiled slightly: "But what I am doing is very important. I want to create a brand-new world, so no one can stop my forward progress, not even those closest to me."

"Fine, I understand. I guarantee that I will use every possible means to bring him to the island. If he resists, I will kill him," Tang Xue said with a cold expression.

In the Heaven War Pavilion, Chen Yu and Long Lao sat together.

Long Lao's spirit was good, and looking at him, he had quite the momentum of becoming younger by the day. After his injuries fully healed, his Five Dragon Qi grew daily, and now he had returned to his peak state.

"That kid from the Zou Family complained about you today," Long Lao said with a chuckle.

"Complained about me? At Dragon Breath?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right, at Dragon Breath," Long Lao nodded slightly: "He said you tore down his family's villa."

"Heh, he should be glad he wasn't there today, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just tearing down his villa," Chen Yu sneered: "I would have taken his life."

"Well, that kid was in the wrong, so the people at Dragon Breath didn't pay him any mind," Long Lao said with a chuckle: "He was the one who initiated the provocation."

"What exactly is the relationship between his family and Dragon Breath? I see he seems to be able to enter and exit the Dragon Breath headquarters freely?" Chen Yu asked.

"When their Old Master was alive, he contributed a great deal to the founding of Dragon Breath. The three founders of Dragon Breath are all very grateful to their Old Master," Long Lao said: "Moreover, one of the three founders, Tianming, came out of their Zou Family."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Zou Family's strength isn't much, yet they rank first among the Aristocratic Families in Shengjing." Chen Yu suddenly realized, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

"These are not major problems, but Zou Ziang cannot be touched for the time being," Long Lao said: "I know he has provoked you and caused you trouble several times, but let him do his part; if you can handle it, just handle it. You cannot touch him right now."

"Why?" Chen Yu asked: "He has already caused me trouble and wanted my life; can I still let him off?"

"Don't ask why; I will explain these matters to you later," Long Lao waved his hand: "This involves some things that have happened to the Long Family recently, and I cannot tell you yet."

"Then I can't guarantee anything," Chen Yu laughed: "What if I accidentally beat him to death?"

"You can rest easy on that; he is someone who is very afraid of death. He treasures his own life more than anyone else. Not just him, no one in the Zou Family can be touched," Long Lao said: "There are too many things involved in this; I will explain it to you slowly later."

"Fine, but if he is hell-bent on courting death, there's nothing I can do. If I accidentally kill him, you can't blame me," Chen Yu said.

"If he wants to court death himself, then no one can be blamed. I am saying, as much as possible, do not injure him," Long Lao laughed: "Besides, are you prepared for the trip to the Southwest?"

"I am prepared." Chen Yu nodded.

"That's good. Be very careful on this trip to the Southwest. The other side is frequently appearing near our Southwest border; they must have some ulterior motive. Your mission is to find out their purpose. If they dare to invade our Huaxia, they must absolutely not be treated leniently," Long Lao said with a solemn expression.

"I will, don't worry, Long Lao." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

A few days later, Chen Yu set off for the Southwest border.

The Southwest is mountainous with inconvenient transportation. This journey took several days and nights. Although with Chen Yu's current realm, his footwork and speed are dozens of times stronger than an ordinary person's, and he can even fly short distances, it consumes a great deal of Primordial Qi.
