Of course, it was not just because of the Cursed One that Chen Rou was able to maintain her current appearance for so long.
The golden pendant that Chen Heng had given her back then had been of great use.
That golden pendant contained a portion of the divine power that Chen Heng had given her back then.
Over the past 20 years, this portion of divine power had also slowly transformed Chen Rou's body, causing her life essence to slowly transform and transform into a completely different appearance.
This was also the reason why, after twenty years, not only did her appearance not age at all, but it had even become younger.
Of course, Chen Rou did not care much about this.
Right now, what she cared about was news of Chen Heng's return.
She did not hesitate and immediately went out, asking for leave from the people here, and quickly headed towards Changyuan City.
As Chen Heng's big sister, to a certain extent, she understood Chen Heng the most.
She also knew where Chen Heng would be after he woke up.
If there were no accidents, they would be able to meet in person after a period of time.
However, before that, Chen Heng first encountered someone else.
Within the quiet room, a creaking sound suddenly sounded out.
Following this, the door to the living room was opened and a woman walked in.
The woman looked to be in her twenties and had exquisite looks. She wore a white shirt and walked in.
However, after walking in, she was stunned when she saw a figure in the room.
Within the living room, Chen Heng was sitting there, looking at her.
Their gazes met, and the woman immediately froze.
"You … You are …"
Looking at Chen Heng, her eyes widened as if she recognized him, "Uncle Chen?"
"Uncle?"
Hearing this, Chen Heng felt quite surprised, but he came back to his senses and smiled, "Is it Xiao Lan?"
The woman nodded, confirming her identity.
"You've grown up."
Looking at Xiao Lan, Chen Heng smiled.
Twenty years had passed, and the tender little girl from back then had now grown into an adult.
In fact, if one were to exclude some minor differences, Little Blue looked much better than Chen Heng just by looking at its outer appearance.
After all, over this long period of time, Chen Heng's appearance had not changed at all, and he had maintained the appearance of a young man.
Seeing an old friend, the two of them began to chat.
"Uncle Chen, after you left, Uncle Yang and Uncle Liang stayed here until a few years ago when they suddenly left to travel."
Little Blue slowly spoke and told Chen Heng about what had happened over the past few years.
Back then, after Chen Heng had left, Yang Cheng and Liang Xiao had spent a long time together.
During this process, Yang Cheng was still single, while Liang Xiao got married and had his own wife and children.
But even so, they still doted on Xiao Lan and treated her like their own child.
In order to take care of Xiao Lan, they stayed in this city for more than ten years.
Until a few years ago, when Xiao Lan had already graduated from university and officially started working, only then did they go out to play together. Right now, they were still traveling abroad.
"Your elder sister has gone to Tianyuan and is working there. She is now the leader of the Alliance Team."
Little Blue continued to explain Chen Rou's experiences.
Back then, Chen Rou was already the leader of the cursed in this area.
Because of her relationship with Chen Heng, not long after Chen Heng left, Chen Rou joined the Alliance Team and became a leader.
Over the past ten or so years, she had risen through the ranks and was now the leader of the entire Alliance Team.
In terms of status, she had reached the peak.
But on the other hand, she was still unmarried, and it seemed that she was ready to devote herself to her career and work hard to climb up.
Chen Heng was not surprised by this.
Chen Rou was just that kind of person.
She was very ambitious, and even though she valued her family, she also valued her career.
With her personality, after Chen Heng, her only concern, left, it was not surprising that she would work hard.
Moreover, with the conditions that Chen Heng had created for her back then, it was not surprising that Chen Rou had reached her current position.
Everything seemed to be going according to the original trajectory, and there weren't too many surprises.
As Chen Heng chatted with Little Blue, he inwardly sighed.
Or rather, life was just like this.
In the living room, Little Blue and Chen Heng chatted for a long time.
She had come here because she had been asked by Chen Rou to come here regularly to clean up.
Chen Rou understood her little brother's personality and knew that once Chen Heng woke up, he would most likely return here. As such, she had long since arranged for people to come here regularly to clean up.
Otherwise, when Chen Heng returned, he would not even have a place to stay.
"I can tell that Auntie Chen cares a lot about you …"
Looking at Chen Heng, Little Blue said seriously.
After chatting for a while, Little Blue left.
Compared to Chen Heng, who had nothing to do, she had many things to do, so she could not stay here with Chen Heng.
However, in the following days, she came here more frequently. Almost every day, as long as she had time, she would come here.
A few days later, Chen Rou also hurried over.
After 20 years, the two of them had once again reunited.
It was just that strangely, no matter if it was Chen Heng or Chen Rou, they did not seem to have changed much. They looked the same as before, and they even seemed a bit younger.
It had to be said that this was quite strange.
"Back then, you told me that you were going to sleep for a while, and you slept for 20 years?"
Sitting on the sofa and looking at Chen Heng, Chen Rou said with dissatisfaction, "It's been 20 years, and there's been no news at all."
"There's nothing I can do."
Chen Heng had a slight smile on his face and spoke softly, "Back then, I did not have any consciousness and could only wait for the day I woke up in my slumber.
"In actuality, if it wasn't for some accidents, I would have slept for a few more years.
"I already know about that matter."
Chen Rou glanced at Chen Heng, not knowing what to say.
With her abilities, she had naturally investigated everything, including how Chen Heng had been dug out and how he had been placed in the museum. She knew everything.
"You're really …"
Looking at Chen Heng, she could not help but shake her head, feeling quite speechless, "Even if you don't want to be disturbed and want to sleep peacefully, can't you find a better place?
"What's with finding a group of ancient tombs? Is it because you don't feel comfortable sleeping by yourself? "
"That was an accident."
Chen Heng shook his head, feeling quite helpless.
"Fortunately, those archaeologists thought that you were some kind of cursed body, so they did not expose you."
Chen Rou also shook her head and said, "Otherwise, when you wake up, I'm afraid you'll find that you've already been stripped naked."
Hearing this, Chen Heng's mouth twitched; he could not imagine what that would be like.
However, from what he understood about those people, what Chen Rou said was quite possible.
While sleeping, Chen Heng did not have any consciousness, and unless something that threatened his life happened, he would not wake up.
Judging from the group of people's thirst for his power, if he were to be discovered, although he wouldn't be killed or hurt, there would be other things that he wouldn't be able to avoid.
Being stripped naked was most likely the norm.
Basically, some people had no morals at all.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng sighed and rejoiced.
"No matter what, you're finally back."
Looking at Chen Heng, Chen Rou deeply sighed and said, "Now that you've returned, don't ever leave again."
"Just stay by my side like this."
A gentle look flashed on her face.
Chen Heng did not say anything and only silently nodded.
In the following period of time, Chen Heng did not leave and instead stayed by Chen Rou's side as they had agreed.
It was as if everything had returned to the past, and it was incredibly peaceful.
However, after some time, Chen Heng embarked on a new journey.
After 20 years, the curses in this world became more and more frequent, and the eruptions from the cursed lands also became quite sudden.
As such, after some time, Chen Heng had to act.
It was a city that had also been invaded by the cursed lands. Everything within was covered by the curse, and it looked like it was about to fall into an abyss of destruction.
As such, Chen Heng acted.
On that day, the heaven-piercing curse power covered the entire city, corroding almost all of the creatures within, wanting to devour them and send them into the abyss of death.
It was just that in the end, a bright light appeared.
As everyone watched, the Holy Son statue gave off a brilliant light, and that terrifying power exploded out, causing everyone in the surroundings to become dumbfounded. Under this light, they were purified.
The power of the curse was purified, and all that was left was a pile of dust. The scene formed by the power of the curse completely disappeared, and in the end, only pure light was left.
After that day, the surroundings fell into a state of peace.
That descending cursed land was destroyed by Chen Heng and fused into his little world, causing that little world to become even more vast.
However, after this, everyone knew where Chen Heng was.
Large numbers of people were heading towards Chang Yuan, and their goal was quite clear.
Even though no one dared to directly come to Chen Heng and beg him to act, there was no doubt that the arrival of so many people gave Chen Rou a lot of pressure.
No one dared to say it out loud, but there were also many people who begged her to persuade Chen Heng to act.
Facing this sort of persuasion, even Chen Rou felt a lot of pressure.
After all, the people who came to persuade her all had extraordinary statuses.
Some of them were her acquaintances, some were her former friends, and some were her superiors. Some were even those who were at the top of the hierarchy.
Even though these people did not say much or make any forceful demands, they still gave her a lot of pressure.
After all, she was not Chen Heng and could not ignore these people.
To someone like Chen Heng, who had long since transcended the mortal realm, it did not matter much, but to a mortal like her, it was impossible.
Because of this, in the end, even she herself gave in.
After that, Chen Heng began to frequently act.
The Holy Son's light once again shined, and in just a short period of time, his glorious accomplishments were displayed.
Several Cursed Lands that were about to descend were directly destroyed. A small country that had long been engulfed by the Cursed Lands and turned into a forbidden land was also enveloped by the radiance. Everything inside was purified, and the corroded Cursed Power was once again turned into Holy Land.
Even though such a long time had passed and all of the living beings within it had long since perished, it was still of great value to others.
After all, as long as the land was still there, the living creatures within would recover one day.
To be able to destroy a forbidden land and purify a forbidden land that had long since been occupied by curse power, only Chen Heng had the ability to do so.
The Cursed One might be able to resist the curse and protect the people under the threat of the curse, but they could not directly resist the power of the curse.
After all, their powers originated from the curse, and they could be considered as an extension of the power of the curse. How could they possibly resist the power of the curse, which was an intrinsic power?
Time gradually passed.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than half a year since Chen Heng had returned.
In that half a year, he had done many things.
Too many cursed lands were destroyed by him, and a large number of curses were purified by him.
In just a short period of time, the Holy Son's light covered the world and was remembered by everyone.
The benefits of doing this were also quite evident.
The most obvious was faith.
Frequent divine miracles were very good news for Faith.
During the process of dispelling the curse, the law information contained within the curse could also make Chen Heng's law body more complete and powerful.
In just half a year's time, thanks to these blessings, his own strength had increased by a lot and he had become even more powerful.
At this time, the number of cursed lands that descended upon the world began to decrease.
Under Chen Heng's frequent attacks, they seemed to have sensed something and started to restrain their actions. They became more cautious and did not continue to descend. Instead, they went into the depths of the void and hid.
Many people could feel this change, but they were pessimistic about it.
This was because these changes indicated some things.
These so-called cursed lands actually had their own intelligence.
Even though they were cursed lands, the powerful curses within these cursed lands did not have low intelligence.
They understood fear and even knew how to avoid Chen Heng, the Holy Son, and they were preparing to continue hiding.
After all, from how long they had existed, it was not a big deal for them to just hide for a while.
The history of the cursed lands invading this world could be traced back to thousands of years ago.
Even after such a long time, most of the cursed lands still existed and were constantly preparing to enter this world.
From this, it could be seen that, at least to these cursed lands, time was not a big deal.
They could slowly wait for Chen Heng to disappear before appearing again.
"Quite smart."
Sensing the cursed lands acting, Chen Heng smiled as he thought to himself.
At least for now, his interests were aligned with this world.
Dispelling the curse could not only take the law information contained within the curse, but he could also use this opportunity to obtain the Fortune of the world as a reward.
To him, this was naturally quite beneficial.
As for the spread of faith, this was a side benefit.
As such, if these cursed lands continued to appear and continued to send people over, Chen Heng did not mind continuing to act and getting rid of them one by one, taking away all of their value.
It was a pity that these cursed lands were quite smart. After realizing that he was not to be trifled with, they immediately changed their plans and fell silent.
As such, even Chen Heng could not do anything to them.
The cursed land was hidden within the nothingness, and if one did not leave any traces, even Chen Heng would not be able to find any traces of the cursed land, nor would he be able to find the entrance to it.
After all, the nothingness was incredibly vast, and it could be said that there was no end to it.
If Chen Heng really went in and searched aimlessly, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Chen Heng did not plan to do this, nor could he do it.
As such, these cursed lands were naturally able to survive and would not face Chen Heng, the Holy Son.
Some people were delighted that the cursed lands had taken the initiative to retreat, and they felt that this was a great victory.
However, more people were worried, worried that there would be more variables in the future.
Ever since this world had clashed with the cursed lands, it had not been easy for them to gain such an advantage. There was hope that they would be able to subdue all of the cursed lands in a single battle.
However, for the cursed lands to remain hidden meant that they would also be able to hide the dangers in the future.
This would create more variables that could easily lead to new dangers.
Chen Heng agreed with this view.
However, facing the current situation, they had no other choice but to passively accept it.
After the cursed lands lost their vitality, Chen Heng's gaze turned to the forbidden lands.
The so-called forbidden lands were special existences that were formed after the cursed lands descended and assimilated with this world.
In the past, many cursed lands had descended.
Many of these Cursed Lands failed, but there were also some who succeeded.
This was the type of forbidden land they were talking about.
