"Condense!"
In the City Lord's Mansion, a thunderous roar resounded.
The experts guarding outside were frightened by this angry shout. Soon, a dignified pressure was released from the City Lord Mansion.
This pressure made the commander-level experts outside tremble.
All of them involuntarily kneeled on the ground, their souls trembling incessantly.
"Fight with me?"
Seeing the successful embedding of the Rune Stone …
Ye Zichen wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It was still a breakthrough of the limit gene.
Ye Zichen felt like his soul was about to be torn apart when he placed the last rune stone. Fortunately, he managed to endure it.
His mind was immersed in his talisman stone aperture point.
At the very beginning, Ye Zichen simply thought that the inserts were just acupuncture points, which radiated genetic energy outwards to increase his overall strength.
The inlay of a talisman stone would light up an acupoint.
When he fully embedded all the rune stones with his General Level power, and with his limit breakthrough as the end point, he actually felt that these lit up acupuncture points were like a star map.
For some reason, he had this misconception … Moreover, he could see that he was only at a small corner of this star chart.
"Strange."
Ye Zichen scratched his head and didn't pay too much attention to it, then looked towards Bei Li.
"What do you think?"
"How long did it take me?"
"It took one and a half months for your last rune stone to absorb and fuse with it. In total, it took three months and twelve days."
Bailey answered.
"Extreme fusion does indeed require a lot of time."
Ye Zichen rubbed his nose and moved his arms.
Even though he still had the strength of a General, after the rune stone system was fully embedded, he felt that he had a qualitative improvement.
Whether it was his perception, the efficiency of his absorption of cosmic energy, or the circulation of his body, they had all improved by leaps and bounds.
He even suspected that even a peak Marquis wouldn't be able to defeat him.
Furthermore, it was under the condition of a genetic breakthrough.
Even he had the strength to fight! This idea was too scary. One shouldn't be too arrogant.
One battle?
！ Crush them, okay?
！ Ye Zichen stretched lazily. Sitting for so long caused his bones to crackle like popcorn.
That kind of bone cracking sound that made one's teeth ache … Just listening to it was a kind of pleasure! "The Ancestral Dragon Clan should be arriving soon."
Ye Zichen could finally let go of everything after he finished fusing with the rune stones.
This was the biggest improvement he could do before he reached the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
Raiding dungeons and killing berserk beasts were too little for him.
With his current realm … … even if he were to grind in dungeons for several years without rest, he might not be able to make much progress. At most, he would only be able to reach a few levels.
Such a minuscule increase in strength was not as practical as a genetic breakthrough.
"How can it be that fast?"
Bei Li rolled his eyes. "But if you insist on saying that it's fast, it's indeed fast … We've indeed walked more than half the distance."
"Nothing unexpected happened during this period?"
"If I did, would you still be sitting here so calmly?"
"You're right."
For some reason, Ye Zichen let out a sigh in frustration.
Seeing his expression, Bei Li could not help but frown.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't tell me you're hoping that something will go wrong?"
"You should be more normal. Don't always think about those useless things. Isn't it good to reach the Ancestral Dragon Clan safely?"
"It's not that it's bad, it's just too strange."
Ye Zichen walked out of the city lord's manor and saw the commanders kneeling on the ground.
Most likely, it was the aura he'd released when he fused with the rune stones.
"All of you, rise."
"Yes, City Lord."
The commanders climbed to their feet one after another, then looked at Ye Zichen with fear in their eyes.
Earlier, there were rumors … … that the Upheaval Alliance's leader wasn't strong enough to be a commander.
Based on the aura he'd released just now, he was at least a marquis level expert.
"Go back to your work."
"I don't need anyone to stand guard here. You're all at least commanders. You're all the talents the Upheaval Alliance needs.
Go find Chicano and ask for another position. If he asks, just tell him I told him to. People like you shouldn't waste your time with me. "
He gently waved his hand at the commanders, and they all nodded and slowly left the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Zichen watched them leave, then sat down at the stone table.
"Bei Li, do you think … … There are bound to be quite a few people in the universe who want to kill me?"
"Of course."
Bei Li nodded matter-of-factly. "Setting aside your status as a Milky Way Lord, anyone with your level of authority would run into plenty of assassination attempts."
"That's right."
Now that was reasonable.
In the human universe, you didn't necessarily have to provoke others for them to kill you.
Sometimes, you didn't offend anyone.
They'd come to kill you anyway! Ye Zichen was a Milky Way Lord, and he had the Five Elements Elemental Spirits and a Time Elemental Spirit. Furthermore, he was of the Milky Way bloodline. It made sense for him to run into assassination attempts every day.
Why didn't anyone come?
！ They looked down on him! "Bei Li, tell me, isn't our journey a bit too safe? It's a bit too safe."
Ye Zichen knit his brows. "Aside from that trial, nothing unexpected happened. I don't think it makes sense."
"That's true, but isn't safety good?"
"Not good!"
Ye Zichen shook his head, his gaze grave.
"It's normal for disasters to happen one after another, and it's the same for assassinations.
I refuse to believe they'll hold back and not attack me. "
"They won't attack me, but I'm scared!"
"I'm scared they'll touch my family."
"Also, there's another possibility: they might be holding back for a big one."
"A big one?"
Bei Li frowned. "You're overthinking things. It's possible they're worried about the people on the warship."
"You're not wrong!"
Meng Luo and the others had high statuses. Perhaps the people who tried to assassinate Ye Zichen were afraid of harming them, so they'd held back.
But what about before this …? Why didn't they attack?
！ Wasn't that strange?
"Don't think too much about it. It's best if we can safely reach the Ancestral Dragon Clan."
Bei Li was relieved.
"I know, but I'm still worried."
"I've been nervous the entire way. I'd rather they hurry up and come out now. No matter how dire the situation is, they should at least give me some peace of mind.
It's been especially safe like this. I'm not used to it. "
At that moment …. A star-level guard rushed into the city lord's manor.
"Your Excellency!"
"What is it?"
"Mr. Chicano requests your presence. He says he has something important to discuss with you in person."
Something important?
！ Thump.
Ye Zichen's heart skipped a beat.
It can't be related to the Milky Way, right?
！
