Chapter 569: Chapter 328: Mindset and Future Plans

“That’s right.”

Chen Sheng slowly nodded.

He understood Li Wuji’s doubts.

If he put himself in the listener’s shoes,

he would also feel doubtful when hearing such an incredible story.

Keep in mind,

the memory Chen Sheng searched for came from Zhurong’s memory tens of thousands of years ago.

Crossing such a long period and only being an observer.

He was noticed by the existence in the memory.

It’s simply incredible.

This feeling was like watching a horror movie at home.

As you watch, the ghosts in the movie suddenly turn their heads toward you in front of the screen and start talking to you.

Anyone faced with this scene would instinctively think it’s a trick by the movie director, not believing it to be true.

However,

the reason Chen Sheng was so sure,

was that he clearly felt his body being locked by that huge eye while he was an observer.

It was an indescribable feeling.

It was as if a tiny, fragile ant was facing the imminent collapse of the world.

You can even clearly feel that the doomsday is coming for you.

A chilling sensation envelops your body and soul, making your consciousness rigid, unable to think about anything else, and can only wait for the doomsday in despair.

It was by chance that Chen Sheng was able to break free from this binding.

This feeling of being utterly insignificant and powerless was the first time he had experienced it since embarking on the path of martial arts.

So,

after the initial despair and fear,

anger and disgust rapidly rose in Chen Sheng’s heart.

He was angry at his weakness and disgusted by the feeling of powerlessness.

Under the intertwining of these two negative emotions,

he managed to break free from the binding power in that instant.

It was because he seized that moment that Chen Sheng quickly withdrew from the memory.

His consciousness had just returned to his own body.

“Up until now, all I know is what I saw in that memory.”

“Though Zhurong briefly woke up at that time, I didn’t have a chance to ask more questions before he fell back asleep.”

“More information probably needs to be obtained through Zhurong.”

“…”

After getting Chen Sheng’s confirmatory answer,

Li Wuji was silent for a long time.

He was digesting the previously heard content.

If what Chen Sheng said was true, and such a powerful existence had targeted him tens of thousands of years ago,

did it not mean that,

the Heavenly People “failed” time and time again under human resistance

because they intentionally went easy?

The so-called war,

was more like the Heavenly People slaughtering humans for their own pleasure when they were bored?

The underlying reason was only to wait for this era.

To wait for the appearance of Chen Sheng.

And now,

Chen Sheng has indeed appeared.

So does it mean that the people of this era will have to face the Heavenly People’s all-out attack, sparing no effort to fulfill the existence’s command?

Although it was not certain if this was the case,

when Li Wuji thought of this possibility,

his knuckles unconsciously clenched, and his heart seemed weighed down by a huge stone, making him feel increasingly heavy.

“Don’t show such an expression.”

“I’m not telling you this to make you anxious.”

At this moment.

Chen Sheng’s voice came from the front.

Huh?

Li Wuji raised his head, slightly surprised.

Unlike his previous seriousness when recounting the memory,

Chen Sheng has now returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Li Wuji couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Being able to transcend time and space is something he had never encountered in his previous worldview.

Why was Chen Sheng still so nonchalant faced with such an existence targeting him?

Perhaps sensing his inner confusion,

Chen Sheng explained.

“Although I don’t know what that Supreme Demon thing is.”

At this point,

Chen Sheng picked up the teacup and drained it.

Clang.

The teacup collided with the tabletop, making a crisp sound.

Chen Sheng slowly stood up,

his posture upright.

No signs of despondency or fear could be seen from facing a powerful enemy.

There was no fear at all.

As always, it seemed nothing could make him afraid, no matter what kind of opponent he faced.

“But what I can be sure of is that he, like the Heavenly People, is my enemy.”

Chen Sheng stopped in front of the door and turned to look at Li Wuji, signaling him to follow.

Though still unclear,

Li Wuji instinctively followed.

The two of them pushed open the room door and walked down the corridor of the underground research institute.

“Since they are enemies,”

“fear has never been an option for me.”

Upon hearing this,

Li Wuji already had a faint idea of what Chen Sheng wanted to say.

As expected.

Chen Sheng’s next words confirmed his guess.

“What I need to do is become stronger.”

“And send him to reunite with my previous enemies, that’s enough.”

As he said this,

Li Wuji couldn’t help but look up at Chen Sheng.

His facial expression remained calm.

His tone was filled with certainty.

It was as if he was only stating a fact that was about to happen.

But…

Can it really be done?

Even though Chen Sheng was standing right in front of him,

even having witnessed how Chen Sheng’s strength increased tremendously in just a month,

the existence in the memory was still far beyond Li Wuji’s imagination.

Perhaps sensing Li Wuji’s worries,

Chen Sheng unusually patted him on the shoulder and gave him a faint smile.
